Al Gore Gives USA Al Jazeera TV Right From Qatar

Nadene Goldfoot
Al Jazeera is the TV channel from Qatar whose main man is Qaradawi, that infamous Islamic Cleric that Mubarak had ousted from Egypt because of his radical theology.  Qatar took him in gladly, and from there he has issued fatwas against Jews.  He is old and in a wheelchair, but would kill Jews with his bare hands if he could catch one.  Qaradawi is a major figure in the Muslim Brotherhood that has spawned many terrorist groups including Hamas and Al Qaeda.

Al Gore and entrepreneur Joel Hyatt own a low rated liberal cable station, Current TV, which enters about 42,000 households..  Al Jazeera just bought it for a reported $500 million.  Now they can broadcast to 40 million homes in the USA.  It is estimated that Gore, who owns 20% of Current TV, will make $100 million for his share.  He made the deal just before the higher income tax rates which will kick in on January 1, 2013.  "By selling Current,  Mr. Gore and Mr. Hyatt are giving up their vision for an alternative to MSNBC, which has much higher-rated liberal hosts."

Al Gore had consistently called himself a friend of Israel.  When it comes to money, friends flit away.  Qatar is definitely anti-Israel and Gore must realize that, but had the chutzpa to say that Current TV speaks the truth about power and provides independent and diverse points of view and tells stories that no one else is telling and that they have this in common.  That's not my opinion of Al Jazeera.  Being Jewish, any gung-ho Islamic zealot might try to take me out just because of Qaradawi's fatwa.  I should say that if this happens, my family should sue the government.  Al Jazeera does tell stories no one else tells if they are about Israel, for they do a lot of telling tales befitting the Arabian Nights in their truth.  Their stories are all slated to suit themselves.  

Al Jazeera deals with anti-Israel, anti-Jewish propaganda.  It has a long record as the chosen news outlet for Al Qaeda and other terrorist cells.  Osama bin Laden used it regularly to post videos attacking America and called for renewed acts of terror with it.  Now that it will be available in the USA, terrorists will be able to communicate with each other easier.  It will be the catalyst for jihadist terrorism.

Time Warner Cable said it will cancel its contract with Current TV so it will not have to show Al Jazeera's propaganda on its system.  This means 12.5 million homes are spared.  I thank Time Warner for leading the way to what others should do.  "With a handful of exceptions (including New York City and Washington), American cable and satellite distributors have mostly refused to carry Al Jazeera English since its inception in 2006."

"Al Jazeera's network also  broadcasted  in their  Arabic-language  in the coverage of the Iraq War and broadcasted the al Qaeda tapes, even targeting its headquarters in Bagdad during the Iraq War. Perceptions that the news organization, which is funded by Qatar's government, is anti-American.  The average household will not understand what is said in Arabic but the Muslims here surely will.

So Al Gore, now a rich hypocrite,  doesn't mind giving terrorists their opportunity to air their "diverse points of view." It looks like this Democrat is very much interested in money. Evidently being Vice President of the USA from 1993 to 2001 under Bill Clinton didn't pay enough.  In 2001 his annual salary was $230,700 plus  $10,000 taxable expense allowance.  Fox News said that "Al-Jazeera has been criticized for having a pro-Islamist bent."  Of course, it's coming out of Qatar where  Qaradawi has his own show.  Al-Jazeera was accused of working with members of Al Qaeda.  One of their journalists was arrested in Israel in 2011 on suspicion of being an agent of Hamas.

"In a stunning development yesterday Al Gore sold his TV network, Current, to Osama bin Laden mouthpiece Al Jazeera. The Blaze TV from Glenn Beck  asked about buying Current TV   but Gore said NO,  because he wanted to sell Current to someone "aligned" with his values. Naturally, Gore felt totally comfortable with the "terror tape" network that is Al Jazeera.

Living With Terrorisms: A Personal Experience

Nadene Goldfoot                                                     

Israeli robot to pick up packages left on ground-
may have a bomb in them  

I lived in Israel from 1980 to the very end of 1985. My first lesson was how to live with terrorism. The first time I saw a loaf of bread outside on the patio of the building I was living in was a surprise. It wasn't wrapped; just a loaf of bread sitting there. I wanted to pick it up and put it in the garbage can, but nearby friends screamed at me not to pick it up, but to leave it. It could contain a bomb! Was I ever surprised. Then my friends went in and called the bomb squad. People have to be extremely careful of everything.

I went shopping in the Hadar area of Haifa. There was a bakery box on the ground, possibly containing cookies. Again, I saw the bomb squad come with a robot that shot the box when the crowd was far enough away. That was to do away with any possible bomb inside the box.

When we went into any store, there was always someone at the door that had to search our bags and purses, just in case. At the door of the junior high that I taught at sat several students whose job it was to search all people entering.

What a surprise I had when I moved into my apartment building in Safed. I had the ground floor apartment, and it had black bars on the windows to prevent terrorists from entering! It was a small window in our living room, too. I was thankful to get this apartment as I had easy access to the patio outside where I had clothes lines. There were many nights that I had nightmares of terrorists breaking in, breaking those bars.

At the school we had bomb drills, and a bomb shelter. In fact, all apartment buldings had bomb shelters. Safed was in the Northern Galilee and very close to Lebanon, as all of Israel is very close to someplace dangerous, so the country has to be protective. Just a few years ago Safed was shelled in the Lebanon-Israel War and many building were damaged. My neighbors wrote to me about their experience. Nearby was a school and a graveyard filled with students from a terrorist attack on the school! It seems that terrorists like to attack women and children especially. I remember a day when the school showed the community all of the containers that are used to conceal bombs of some sort or other. Big or small, every manufactured container was used. As soon as children start toddling around, they have to be taught not to pick a thing up outside.

Not only stores and schools have to check out people, but Israel's borders have checkpoints where people are entering. On November 2, 2002, a van with boxes of jeans wanted to go through. Soldiers found that one of the men inside was wanted. Soldiers found in the last searched box an explosive belt being delivered to a suicide bomber.

Two weeks later, a taxi was found two very heavy computers and inside again were explosive belts, plus a bag with a gun.

On June 8, 2008, an 18 year old Palestinian was arrested at the Hawara checkkpoint near Nablus because he was carrying 6 pipe bombs, an ammunition cartridge and bullets, and a bag of gunpowder. The military police said that it was routine for them to find bombs every day. They also find knives and other weapons. Three weeks earlier they arrested a Palestinians carrying 5 pipe bombs that he had on his chest to act as an explosives belt.

As recently as October 5, 2008, two pipe bombs were found in a package that a Palestinian man at the Hawara checkpoint near Nablus was carrying.

Anti-Israel propaganda is trying to make a case that Israeli soldiers are harassing Palestinians at checkpoints. Soldiers are not trying to harass, only trying to do their job. At one checkpoint north of Jerusalem, a Palestinian woman pushing a baby stroller was found to have concealed in it a pistol, 2 ammunition clips and a knife. On another occasion a woman was hiding her brother's gun in her underpants. Another woman hid a hand grenade under her baby!

Everytime our soldiers relax their policy and leave checkpoints, terrorists take advantage to launch more attacks on Israeli citizens, so it's necessary. The campaign of violence and terror that the Palestinians continue against Israelis causes checkpoints to exist. The goal is protection, not humiliation of Palestinians.
