Eretz Israel is our unforgettable historic homeland...The Jews who will it shall achieve their State...And whatever we attempt there for our own benefit will redound mightily and beneficially to the good of all mankind. (Theodor Herzl, DerJudenstaat, 1896)

We offer peace and amity to all the neighbouring states and their peoples, and invite them to cooperate with the independent Jewish nation for the common good of all. The State of Israel is ready to contribute its full share to the peaceful progress and development of the Middle East.
(From Proclamation of the State of Israel, 5 Iyar 5708; 14 May 1948)

With a liberal democratic political system operating under the rule of law, a flourishing market economy producing technological innovation to the benefit of the wider world, and a population as educated and cultured as anywhere in Europe or North America, Israel is a normal Western country with a right to be treated as such in the community of nations.... For the global jihad, Israel may be the first objective. But it will not be the last. (Friends of Israel Initiative)

Rhiannon Rattled On Radio As Ben Berates BDS Bullies in Australia

Good on Aussie radio host Ben Fordham.  You can almost hear Senator Lee Rhiannon squirm as he takes her to task for her involvement with the BDS movement and her consequent support for the boycott of the Max Brenner chocolate outlets in Australia - Ben describes the behaviour of the mobs of BDS activists as bullying "hardworking Aussies going about their business, " reminds her of their reprehensible cry "Jews Kill Babies," and puts her on the spot in several delicious ways.

Since Rhiannon is such a fierce feminist in the Australian context, I wish next time he interviews her Ben would ask her point blank why she is happy to appear on Press TV, given the fact that women are held in such low esteem in Iran that their life is worth monetarily in compensation half of a man's and sexual relations (short of penetration) with girl babies as young as one year have been given the all-clear by a powerful ayatollah.

Meanwhile, to remind ourselves of the bully-boy behaviour of the mobs that demonstrate against Max Brenner, let's look at footage from last Christmas, when BDS fanatics marched on and into the Brenner cafe in Brisbane, which they were prevented from accessing last weekend owing to the decent people who stood firm against them:
