(IsraelNN.com) Attorney Nitzana Darshan-Leitner, chairwoman of the Shurat Hadin legal advocacy organization, told Arutz Sheva Radio on Thursday who exactly is behind the effort to prosecute former IDF Chief of Staff Moshe Yaalon and other IDF commanders. He is Daniel Machover – a British lawyer who is also a former Israeli.
Machover, a co-founder of Lawyers for Palestinian Human Rights, represents the Palestinian Center for Human Rights, based in the Hamas-run Gaza half of the Palestinian Authority. According to Leitner, Machover has dedicated his life to collecting evidence against IDF officers and political leaders in an effort to charge them with war crimes in Europe. He and the center he represents prepare legal ambushes for Israeli military and civilian leaders who visit European countries, hoping to bring about their arrest and prosecution.
“Attorney Daniel Machover is an expatriate Israeli, son of a Communist family that emigrated to England after the Six Day War,” Leitner said. The family left Israel because of what they saw as “the suffering of the Palestinians and the Israeli occupation. The family distanced itself from anything related to Jews and Israel and became close to the Palestinians,” Leitner continued.
According to the Shurat Hadin chairwoman, Machover has been trying to bring about the prosecution of Israeli officers long before the recent Operation Cast Lead in Gaza. “We have been following his activities for several years,” Leitner said. “Thank God, thus far he has not seen the fruits of his efforts and we hope that it will continue to be possible to foil his despicable efforts.”
The British Jewish lawyer Machover is one of a string of “former Israelis who hold hard Left opinions” who have set themselves up as enemies of Israel, Leitner explained. “The goal of people such as him is to undermine the Jewish identity and the Jewish people.”
“This has been going on for years. Everything from “death to Israel” to “dirty Jew,”‘ he said. “There are gangs in the area. It’s not the safest neighborhood.” From here
The author is Janet S. Tiger . I added the authors name to my previous post. You can also read the story here at her site. The author is now found. 🙂 If you have not read the short story yet I recommend it.
It seems more lies and libels against the jews are put into a new textbook.
A new textbook introduced into a Sydney, Australia school charges that “much modern conflict in the world is related to the reactions of other groups to the Jewish people.” The author, Christopher Hartney of the University of Sydney, also wrote that polygamy is “commonly practiced in the Jewish State.”
UPDATE: Right on glenn But again why are you supporting a jihadi?
I have to admit that I was a big Glenn Beck fan. I like what he has done to expose ACORN and other terrible groups that want to destroy freedom for everyone. I recomend Mark Levin. He gives out his show commercial free for free too. Does Glenn Beck know that he is supporting a Jihadi? Why has he not denounced that loser yet? Supporting a jihadi makes him a big hypocrite IMHO. I am going to try to return his new book unless he denounces the support for that jihadi today. It looks like there are some great books from non terrorist supporters.
(PMW) Western benefactors who thought that Israel was the only enemy in the sights of the Palestinians need to think again. On a popular children’s program broadcast on Hamas’s Al Aksa TV to households throughout the Palestinian-controlled territories, youngsters were encouraged to learn English, “the language of our enemy.”
During an episode of the notorious Tomorrow’s Pioneer’s program last week, a child caller informed the host of the show that he wanted to be an English teacher when he grows up. When asked why he would choose that profession, the child answered, “To teach children the language of their enemy.”
With a grin on his face, the host applauded the caller’s choice and told young viewers that it is important to “study the language of our enemies.”
There is a world wide jihad that is going on to take over the world. Abbas might be part of the network that is blowing up people in Iraq. Well Abbas’s Aid was arrested at the riot. No one in the world is safe until the jihad network is destroyed and the ideas are no longer thought to innocent children. Here is some news about the terrorist attack in Iraq. HereHereHere and Here
Well any ways it is a fact that Abbas started the biggest riots in Jerusalem.
The original Crescent of Embrace memorial to Flight 93 faced less than 2° from Mecca. That made it a mihrab, the Mecca-direction indicator around which every mosque is built. (Some mihrabs are pointed-arch shaped, but the classic mihrab is crescent shaped.)
The Park Service dismissed concern about the Mecca-oriented crescent on grounds that the construction drawings had not yet been finalized. “Those trees could move fifty feet, or three hundred feet,” said Project Manager Jeff Reinbold in the Spring of 2006, as if this kind of “tweaking” would make any difference (Crescent of Betrayal Ch.8 p.145-6).
The construction drawings have now been released, and yes, they moved the lower tip of the half-mile wide crescent about 300 feet, enough to change the orientation of the crescent by about 4.5°. Instead of pointing less than 2° north of Mecca, the giant Islamic-shaped crescent now points less than 3° south of Mecca.
Europe seems to be falling to the jihadis. This is the result. From here
Violent acts or threats against French Jews in the first half of this year outnumbered all similar incidents in 2008, a Jewish community group said Saturday, pointing to a wave of anti-Semitism following Israel’s attack on Gaza.
Geert Wilders, the Dutch politician opposed to the Islamization of Europe, arrived in Great Britain yesterday. He had previously been banned from Great Britain for openly opposing Islam and its violent, intolerant and murderous ways. The Brits, reflecting the insanity of liberal/left thought, regularly oppose free speech in favor of their unassimilable, hostile and seditious Muslim immigrants.
A mob of Muslim protesters were on hand to picket Geert Wilders outside the House of Parliament, waving signs that show they are anything but democratic or tolerant. They want to impose their 7th century bedouin culture on the modern world and the Brits and other Europeans are only too happy to accommodate them. Europe can’t seem to commit suicide fast enough. Liberalism is a death wish. Read the rest of this entry »

Do you know what sharia law is? It is basically replacing the constitution with the insane jihadi laws that cut off you hands for stealing. And it looks like some Obama Czar believe in doing that. WOW. Read the rest of this entry »
These Jihadis need to be brought to justice IMHO. Form the Gates of Vienna
If you reside in the United States and receive payments from a foreign government, federal law requires you to register as an foreign agent. The law doesn’t restrict your activities, but it does demand that you make public whose payroll you are on. Read the rest of this entry »
Martin Luther King explained it. But so does this blog
In a clear demonstration of just how “progressive” they really are, the Anti-Israel left is hard at working trying to revive the medieval blood libel. First the Swedish daily Aftonbladet repeated Palestinian Arab propaganda about medically impossible organ thefts, and then the left wing Counterpunch magazine run by Saddam supporter Alexander Cockburn printed an article actually using medieval blood libels against Jews as proof. There is something striking about an Anti-Semitic radicalization on the left so extreme that after being accused of using organ thefts as a modern day blood libel, it actually tries to revive and legitimize medieval blood libels.
