University of Haifa reacts to Aumann scandal
The University of Haifa has reacted to the scandal over its decision not to grant an honorary degree to Nobel Prize winner Professor Yisrael Aumann.
They're just inciting against us. We have plenty of respect for people with beards and skullcaps.
And for those who don't get it.... Pictured is the leader of the
northern branch of the Islamic Movement in Israel, Raed Sallah.Labels: Islamic Movement in Israel, Israel's suicidal Left, Israeli Left, Israeli Nobel prizes, leftists, Raed Sallah, Robert Aumann, University of Haifa, Yisrael Aumann
Time for Israel to ban Sheikh Raed Sallah
Writing in Haaretz, former Defense Minister and Ambassador to the United States Moshe Arens says that Israel
has not taken sufficient action against Raed Sallah and his Islamist movement.
Sheikh Ra'ad Salah was arrested in London for illegal entry into the United Kingdom. There he has been labeled by the British media as a "preacher of hate" and a "virulent anti-Semite." The sheikh is well known in Israel and Israelis can vouch for the veracity of these appellations. However Salah's attorney in London has stated quite correctly that the Northern Branch of the Islamic Movement that Salah heads "is a legitimate organization which Israel has never moved to ban."
Who can explain the blatant inconsistency between Salah's scandalous and treacherous behavior and the subversive nature of the Islamic movement he leads and their continued unhindered activity in Israel?
A reminder of who it is we are dealing with can be found in the conclusions of the Orr Commission that investigated the events of October 2000. According to the final report, Salah was guilty of "transmission of messages that negated the legitimacy of the existence of the State of Israel and presenting the state as an enemy ... he had a substantial contribution to provoking tempers and the violent and widespread outburst that took place in the Arab sector at the beginning of October 2000."
Read the whole thing. He makes a pretty good case for the proposition that Sallah is endangering the state's security.

Raed Sallah arrested in London
Raed Sallah, the head of Israel's Islamic Movement Northern Front, has been
arrested in London and charged with being in the UK illegally.
The Islamic Movement on Wednesday reacted to news of the arrest of its northern branch leader Sheikh Raed Salah in London overnight, blaming the "Jewish lobby" for the arrest in order to protect the "Zionist narrative."
"Since Salah received the invitation to come to Britain, the Jewish lobby went crazy and did everything in its power to prevent the visit, so that the Zionist narrative remains the only narrative," the movement said in a statement.
In a direct message to "the Jewish lobby," the Islamic Movement continued, "We will protect our rights and will bring the voice of truth to the world, especially as it relates to the Palestinian people. We won't be affected by this political arrest."
Anyone who knows the true situation in England has to realize how comical this hysterical reaction (and three others cited from 'Israeli Arab' MK's) is. Israeli government officials and IDF officers have been threatened with arrest in London due to demands by private parties and without charges. And Sallah is about as incendiary as they come.
According to the Islamic Movement, Salah was arrested close to midnight overnight Tuesday in London after returning from a lecture in Leicester. He was reportedly scheduled to speak to the British Parliament later in the visit, an appearance scheduled at the invitation of an MP.
Lawyers said that Salah was faced with two options: to stand trial, or face immediate deportation, Channel 10 reported.
Israel Radio reports that the UK has opened proceedings to expel Sallah from Britain and is investigating how he got into the country in the first place. He was banned due to anti-Semitic statements. Heh.

Israeli MK says 'Obama can go to hell'
An Israeli MK had some
nasty words for President Obama.
"After the exposure of lies from the US, we must say frankly to Obama: You no longer scare us and you can go to hell."
“Obama cannot be trusted. We knew his promises were lies. The time has come to spit in the face of the Americans.”
"...he is no longer wanted in the Middle East and that he can go to hell"
"...world should persuade the US to change its Middle East policies by any means necessary, including by use of economic pressure.”
Is that any way to treat our 'best friend'?
