When a Dictator is Called President

The recent demonstrations against Mubarak in Egypt remind of a post that I wrote a long, long time ago (that is to say six years ago):

It is amazing that the press, when referring to the dictator of Egypt, calls him "President Mubarak." Even Arutz 7, which is an island of sanity among the sea of Israel's LLL* media, refers to Dictator Hosni as "Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak." It is really pathetic to hear "President Bush" and "President Mubarak" mentioned in the same breath. The former is a president, while the latter is a dictator!

Remembering 9-11

September 11, 2001, as President Roosevelt said regarding a different date, is "a date which will live in infamy." Indeed, September 11, 2001 was a day when the evil of Arab Terrorism became clear to the entire world.

Listen to President Bush's speech:



A gem from the speech:

The search is underway for those who are behind these evil acts. I've directed the full resources of our intelligence and law enforcement communities to find those responsible and to bring them to justice. We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them.

Here President Bush quotes King David:

America and our friends and allies join with all those who want peace and security in the world, and we stand together to win the war against terrorism. Tonight, I ask for your prayers for all those who grieve, for the children whose worlds have been shattered, for all whose sense of safety and security has been threatened. And I pray they will be comforted by a power greater than any of us, spoken through the ages in Psalm 23: "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me."

Bush, Free Your Captive: Jonathan Pollard

I just took a night stroll through the Kiryat Moshe of Jerusalem and I saw this:



The sign says, "Bush, Free Your Captive".

Under the picture of Islamofascist Haniyeh is the name Gilad Shalit, who is being held captive in Gaza. The names of Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser are under the picture of Nassrallah the war criminal. Under the image of George W. Bush is the name Jonathan Pollard.

I've already stated many times that the continued incarceration of Pollard is a stain on "the land of the free and the home of the brave." Pollard is in jail because he is a Jew, and not because of any crime that he committed. Bush did not put him in jail,but he has the power to set him free. As long as he doesn't, he is in some pretty bad company.

Update:

Deputy Prime Minister and Shas Chairman Eli Yishai, who attended the event, forwarded a letter from Shas spiritual leader the Rabbi Ovadia Yosef to Bush. Yosef asked the president to free jailed Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard.

Yosef's plea was sent along with a letter from Pollard's wife Esther, asking Bush to pardon her husband, who has been incarcerated for 22 years.

Welcome To Jerusalem President Bush

I hope that you enjoy your stay in the holy land. If you feel like a lame duck, you should know that Mr. Olmert is even lamer than you are. The next time elections come around, we're going to throw him out on his ear.

Please tell your Jewish friends back in the U.S.A.(I'm sure that some of your best friends are Jewish) that it's time for them to go home to Israel. Remember, no matter what Ehud tells you, Jerusalem is not for sale!
