I spotted this sticker [where else?] in my neighborhood in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Obama-bot central, USA.
These Obama street art fetishes are so ridiculous, it’s almost hard to know if the people who made them are kidding. The only positive development is that I don’t see quite as many as I used to.

It seems that the more you live, the more you realize that there is nothing new under the sun. This is ever so true with the canary-in-the-coal mine of the Jewish people, and their representative on the international stage; Israel. The amount of hypocrisy, and downright injustice of the American policy (especially recently) regarding the post-1967 Jewish communities of Judea and Samaria continues to be on display to the World, and yet they continue to choose the status quo of ignorant blindness.
While the entire world, lead by our President Obama is up in arms over “illegal building” in Judea and Samaria, -even going as far as to state that it is the number one problem stumbling block regarding “Middle East” peace, they are purposefully blind to the fact that Arab/Muslim illegal building continues at a remarkable pace.
No Inspectors to Enforce Illegal Building by Arabs
Although the issue of Jewish life in Judea & Samaria is often discussed, and debated among the talking heads throughout the world, none (or at least very few) are aware or willing to admit or discuss the horrible inequality, and injustice to the present “accepted norms” with this situation.
This is surprising however as what is going on regarding the treatment of the Jews in Judea & Samaria is very familiar to the World, and especially Americans. As some have argued, the continuing double standard, and willful blindness to the violations by the Muslim/Arabs within the world and specifically Judea and Samaria and the World’s “accepted norms” regarding their final solution is in actuality nothing short than an actual Apartheid policy and the implementation of racial segregation laws against he Jewish people reminiscent to the “separate but equal”, and other famous former Civil Rights problems within the United States.
Settlement freeze is like racial segregation in U.S. (from Haaretz if you can believe it!)
Once upon a time there was a black woman; her name was Rosa Parks. There were racially discriminating laws in the United States, but she continued to sit on the bus even when she was told to vacate her seat for a white person. She was arrested, which set off a process whose end saw the abolition of racial segregation on American buses. How is it possible that one little black woman, a dressmaker by profession, could change history simply because she remained sitting? Her protest was stronger than any demonstration, op-ed piece or Knesset vote. She opted for the natural choice; that is why she was triumphant.
…
My family and friends were outlawed. Why? Because we are building in the Land of Israel. After all the permits and approvals, in recognized and orderly settlements in which a third generation has already been raised, we woke up one morning to the humming of drones in the sky, taking pictures of us and the situation on the ground. It is forbidden to build. Not even a storeroom. Not a kennel. In certain places, it is even forbidden to add an air conditioner.
…
The freeze is an edict that the public cannot tolerate. It is not democratic, nor is it humane… But at its foundation, either intentionally or by accident, is pure and basic apartheid – it is forbidden for Jews to live in certain places. It is forbidden to build. It is forbidden to develop.
This author, although admittedly not eloquent, is right as these rules apply ONLY to Jews, and the excuses by the world for such treatment, and their excuses are not much different than when the U.S. claimed “separate but equal”. Then, as is the case as well now, the situation and laws applied are anything but “equal”, and as a result of the inherent injustice with the application of the laws the “separate” part only applies to the Muslim/Arab neighborhoods, as the Jews are forced to allow Muslim/Arab building, and inclusion, where the Muslim/Arab ones aren’t. A great example of this was the 2005 Expulsion of everything Jews in Gaza without any requirements or demands on the Muslim/Arabs within Israel, or within Gaza. This horrible segregation and double standard is still present today in the complete silence about the nearly complete Islamification of Gaza by the Islamist Hamas. The international communities policy on Israel is that it force Jews living in Judea & Samaria (and then, Gaza) to halt life, be stripped of all their rights, and be expelled yet they are completely silent regarding the Arab/Muslim populations within Israel or within Judea & Samaria. Similar to pre-Civil Rights America, the policies are directed at curtailing the existence of one racial group at the preference of another. In the U.S., the Black communities rights were curtailed while the Whites were given free reign.
In the context of Islamist doctrine (Sharia Law), the Caliphate, and dhimmihood, none of this really is surprising. As the Koran instructs, the Muslims are to have the superior (white/Muslim) role in society, and the infidel/dhimmi (Black/Jew) the inferior. The double standard and racial segregation methods of the presently used “peace process” where Muslims can live where ever they wish, build whatever they wish, and practice their religion openly and freely, but the Jews of Judea & Samaria cannot, only bolsters this understanding.
Further bolstering the argument that what we see today against the Jews of Judea & Samaria is nothing less than racial segregation are the stats as provided by the CIA Fact Book regarding the population of Gaza, Judea & Samaria, and Israel where Israel has a large minority of cultures, religions, ethnicities, and languages while Gaza and Judea & Samaria are nearly 100% “palestinian arab” and “Muslim” only.
There is a bit of irony to the fact that our President, raised in a Black Liberation Church, and who happens to identify with his Black heritage would be the leader of the new international Klan which has at its core -consciously or unconsciously – policies of racial segregation and our generations own “separate but equal” treatment but on an international scale.
Iran warns Switzerland over minaret ban
Iran warned Switzerland on Saturday of “consequences” over a referendum banning the building of new mosque minarets and urged Bern not to enforce the ban, the official IRNA news agency reported.
The vote went “against the prestige of a country which claims to be an advocate of democracy and human rights,” Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki told Swiss counterpart Micheline Calmy-Rey in a telephone call, quoted by IRNA.
[…]IRNA said Switzerland’s ambassador in Tehran was summoned on Saturday before the foreign ministry, which protested against the minaret ban which was backed by more than 57% of voters who cast their ballot on November 29.
Calmy-Rey said the referendum was carried out against the will of the Swiss government, which would “use all its means to support Muslims rights,” the IRNA report added.
The referendum on a constitutional ban on minarets was proposed by a rightwing Swiss party and had not been expected to succeed.
Obama approval rating below 50 percent

The Illegal-Settlements Myth – (link from Wrath-of-God)
NYT’s op-ed – The 9/11 of 1859 – (hattip to snork)
Few if any Americans today would question the justness of John Brown’s cause: the abolition of human bondage. But as the nation prepares to try Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, who calls himself the architect of the 9/11 attacks, it may be worth pondering the parallels between John Brown’s raid in 1859 and Al Qaeda’s assault in 2001.
Yes, he said that. And it seems Bernadine Dohrn thinks she’s the 60’s equivilent:
Pro-violence abolitionist John Brown studied in NY
LAKE PLACID, N.Y. — John Brown, the 19th-century abolitionist who advocated armed violence, is drawing a diverse crowd this week to study how his fight against slavery continues to play in America.
[…]Organizers say the symposium, on Friday and Saturday, will examine the impact of Brown’s fight against slavery on America then and how it reverberates today. Speakers include Bernardine Dohrn, one of the best-known leaders of the 1960s radical group the Weather Underground; Maria Suarez, a Mexican immigrant who was virtually enslaved by a Southern California man after being lured to work for him in 1976; Russell Banks, author of the fictional Brown biography “Cloudsplitter”; and Alice Keesey Mecoy, a Brown descendant.
[…]“We’re trying to get people to take a look at the use of violence in our country — why American culture uses violence to achieve an end,” Wikoff said.
Dohrn would be an expert at that.
