Muslim Brotherhood's Baddest "Supreme Guide", Mohammed Badie

Mohammed Badie is the head guide of the Muslim Brotherhood and has been since January 16, 2010.  He represents the worst type of philosophy, akin to Nazism.  Even the Liberal Egyptians are wary of him.  Qaradawi seemed to be the head earlier but when the Muslim Brotherhood was banned in 1954, he had no future in Egypt so moved to Qatar in 1961 where his theological influence on Egypt continued.

This 69 year old veterinarian earned his degree in Cairo in 1965 and in the same year was arrested for his political activity in the Muslim Brotherhood, which was outlawed.  He was sentenced to 15 years in prison, then paroled in 1974 by Anwar al-Sadat.  He taught in various Egyptian universities.

Badie accused the Arab and Muslim regimes of avoiding confrontation with the a"Zionist entity" and the USA, and of disregarding "Allah's commandment to wage jihad for His sake with their money and lives, so that Allah's word will reign supreme and the infidels' word will be inferior.  He said that the USA is immoral and doomed to collapse, and said the PA (Abbas) sold out the Palestinian cause.  He added that the 3rd intifada was about to erupt and that "resistance is the only solution against the Zio-American arrogance and tyranny, and all we need is for the Arab and Muslim peoples to stand behind it and support it."

Badie  said that the Jews have dominated the land, spread corruption on earth, spilled the blood of believers and in their actions profaned holy places, including their own. Ah yes, Jews happen to be 0.02 % of the world population, compared to the Muslims who make up 23% of the world population. Dominate the land!  Jews couldn't even buy land in Europe, and they were forced to be dminnis (2nd class) in Muslims countries.

 Badie is  just about describing the actions of Hamas terrorists in Gaza.  He wants the Arab world to reject negotiations with Israel in favor of "Holy Jihad."  He says the Zionists only understand force, whereas it seems that that is the only thing that Hamas understands.  When it comes to the Temple Mount, Judaism's holiest site, which is the remnant of the wall from King Solomon's Temple, he thinks that Jews praying there would result in the destruction of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.  Jews have good reason to believe that the Muslims have been destroying antiques in the Mosque from the days of being the Temple.  "In July 2007 the Muslim religious trust which administers the Mount began digging a 400-metre-long, 1.5-metre-deep trench from the northern side of the Temple Mount compound to the Dome of the Rock  in order to replace 40-year-old electric cables in the area. Israeli archaeologists accused the waqf of a deliberate act of cultural vandalism.

He should have stuck to veterinarian causes, like beating the paro-virus.  He has his facts all messed up.  Yet, why do people listen to him and follow his ideals?  Could it be that they can't read?  If you can't read, you surely can't do much on Internet, so the only resource you have of news would be al-Jazeera TV from Qatar, headed by Qaradawi.  He seems to be a cookie-cutter Qaradawi in his hatred for Israel.

Israel's literacy level for the 8 million population  out of 29 countries in the Middle East is the third highest  with illiteracy at 3% only for adults 15 years and older. The best was Armenia (Christian country, March 22, 1992 became member of UN, population 3,299,000,000) with only 1% illiterates and Azerbaijan, population 8,656,000 at 1.2%.   Egypt's population of 79,089,650  has 28% illiteracy.  Afghanistan's population of 28,395,716  has 72% illiteracy.  Qatar has 11%, but they don't count any people working there that came in from other states as citizens and so wouldn't have counted them.  Most of their population of 744,029 people are relatives and dear friends such as Qaradawi.  Other neighbors of Israel are Jordan's 5,568,565 population with 9% illiteracy, Lebanon's 4,196,453 population having 12% illiteracy and Syria's population of 22,505,000 (minus 60,000 recently killed) with a 19% illiteracy level.  Just for comparison, the USA and Canada have 99% literacy.  They claim only 1% to be illiterate. The Middle East is far behind.

Now, how many are bilingual is another story, for if they do not read or understand English, they are only getting a one-sided view of history and the world.  I was part of a program for the Israeli government to teach English, and taught in a junior high.  Many religious groups have gone into Muslim countries to teach English, which can be very dangerous for the teachers as they are accused often times and maybe rightly so, for teaching their religion as well.

Badie, just in July 2012 in his weekly sermon, stated that Israelis are "rapists" of Jerusalem, and called on all Muslim to "wage jihad with their money and their selves to free al-Quds. He disregards the Jewish history and that Jerusalem was founded by King David, a Jew in 1,000 BCE,  which means that Jerusalem and Israel and Judah are our 3,000 year old Jewish history.   In other words, another religious zealot is saying to kill Jews to take over Jerusalem.  He refers to  the creation of Israel in International Law as an  "alleged, illusory right."  Therefore, he has no regard for the UN as well.  If the Arabs refuse to recognize Israel, how can they expect Israel to recognize Palestine?  Or, how can the UN recognize Palestine when they refuse to recognize Israel?

November 22, 2012, Badie said that peace deal with Israel are a "game of grand deception."  Again, he wants force to be used as that is the only thing that Israel understands, he thinks.  He pounds in the idea that Jihad is obligatory for Muslims.  This was said the day after Morsi brokered a truce after 8 days of Israel and Hamas fighting.

To the illiterate souls who abound around Israel, Badie's words  would be like hearing the Gospel or word of G-d.  It happens to be all wrong.  Israel was created in a peaceful and legal process that took many years of meetings and more meetings.  The United Nations put it through.  It was not created out of Palestinian lands, as we know the word today "Palestinian" meaning Arabs.  Before 1948, both Jews and Arabs were Palestinians that lived in land held by the Ottoman Empire and known as "Palestine."  The Ottoman Empire Turks ruled the land for 400 years.  They lost it when they were defeated in WWI.

The Arabs who lived in Palestine considered themselves to be Syrians, not Palestinians.  There was no country of Palestine.  That was simply the name given to the land by the Romans.  They had taken Jerusalem in 70 CE.  Jews had a final revolt trying to get rid of them in 135 CE by Bar Kochba and failed.  Thus Palestine became a hateful name as it was the name of enemies of Israel and Judah.

After WWI, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq were created artificially out of the Turkish Empire by the British and French victors of WWI.  Transjordan was created out of about 80% of the Palestine Mandate which was originally designated by the League of Nations as part of the Jewish Homeland.  Then later the king called it Jordan when he seized Judah and Samaria illegally in 1948.  Two-thirds of Jordan's citizens are Palestinian Arabs, but its ruler is  Abdullah II, a Hashemite king, though he is married to a beautiful Palestinian girl, now Queen Rania,  whose parents were "Palestinians" from  Samaria's Tulkarm (West Bank) but had moved to Kuwait, where Rania was born. The family moved to Jordan in 1991.  

In 1948, the UN partition plan mandated the creation of 2 states on the remaining 20% of the Palestine Mandate:  the State of Israel for the Jews, and another state for the Arabs.  The Arabs rejected their state and instead, attacked Israel.  After starting in around 1880 and continually working , Israel was at last to become a state on May 14, 1948.

 Jews have been fighting the last 2,000 years since our separation from Judah,  anti-Semitic  discrimination, exclusion, and persecution that has historically occurred in the diaspora (outside Judah).   Israel means more to Jews than ever since the Holocaust.  The Arabs haven't given up on their ambition to drive Israel into the sea and pile up so many conditions for sitting at a peace table that they are sure to never have to worry about maintaining a state.

Badie is not popular with all of Egypt, for the opposition to the Muslim Brotherhood's most fervent chants were aimed at Badie who think he is secretly ruling Egypt.  "Down with the guide!" they yelled.  He is seen as the dark prince of a coming Islamist tyranny.  He keeps on delivering these terrible sermons and speeches to a widely illiterate listening audience.

Today's Letter Against Israel: Israel's "Crimes"

Nadene Goldfoot
It just amazes this Portland born Israeli how much people are against Israel on the basis of hearsay. I doubt if a lot of people actually read about the history of Israel. They conclude their negativity from propaganda that they somehow pick up.

Today's letter made me think of this. Here is my response.

Letter to the Editor,
In response to the letter from William Seaman, "Israel’s crimes ignored", I ask, " Is it a crime to protect your citizens from attacks?" That’s precisely what Israel has had to do. Israel discovered that Fatah puts its rocket artillary in the midst of its own population to do the very thing that you are condemning Israel for; that of hitting the population. What they are achieving is negative propaganda against Israel, and that’s their aim. The Israel blockade was done in lieu of going in and killing everyone. Israel has now developed weapons that are better at pinpointing targets. This is war, but the terrorists hide behind their population.
Israel left Gaza completely, and their reward has been constant shelling. Now Ashkelon, Portland’s sister city, has been shelled for the second time. The rockets have a longer range. Palestinians refuse to recognize Israel, which means to leave Israel alone in peace and to have a neighborly relationship with them. This goes against their charter which is to drive Israel into the sea. Until they have a change of heart, Israel must defend itself.

What I had no space to reply to were the completely incorrect charges that he makes against Israel. The charge of occupying and expanding its theft of Palestinian land is so wrong. Here we inherited Gaza from the 1967 attack on Israel from the Arabs and fortunately for us, won, but by doing so came to inherit Gaza from the Egyptians! After leaving the area completely, we are charged with occupying and expanding. I'm beginning to lose my patience with people. As a teacher, I am disgusted with people's obvious prejudices.

Here we have one of the smallest states in the world either attacked by surrounding Arab states or by disgruntled stateless Palestinians who now say they want their own state but can't stop shooting at us in order to achieve this goal and this small state is the bully in the neighborhood because it doesn't lie down and die. It has the audacity to want to protect itself.

The logic of some people today just floors and disgusts me.

Letters to Editor in Oregonian Again

Robert Hamilton wrote an article in the Oregonian stating that arming Israel with $30 billion dollars because we are giving $20 billion to Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates is obscene.

It was commented on by Linda Cohn who wrote that she agreed and said that what Israel needs is for the international community to tell the Palestinians that they must honor their signed agreements with Israel, to end all terrorist activities, accept Israel's right to exist and destroy all terror groups and confiscate illegal weapons. They should also preserve and protect all Jewish holy sites and educate their people for peace.

Roberta Palmer answered that with a list of reasons why Palestinians should resist the Israelis. She concluded that Israeli crimes are very long and stated that Israel stole Palestinian lands, cited the destruction of houses and orchards, and even the restriction of movement at checkpoints, road blocks and "Israeli" only highways. She went on about how Gaza children suffer from malnutrition and post traumatic stress from Israeli violence and intimidation. Even imprisonment whose only crimes were to be between 15 and 45 were listed. She stated that when the PLO accepted the legitimacy of Israel within the 1949 armistice borders, the Arab population ceded more than half the land granted them by the UN partition. She thinks the Palestinians accepted Israel's government and Israel persists in violating UN resolutions 242, 181 and so on. She thinks we are confiscating the remaining 22% of their land is forcing them to accept defeat as a people. She hopes they continue to resist.

Needless to say, I wrote a reply to this letter which is full of so many untruths, that I had a hard time deciding what to say in 150 words or less. I hope my letter gets printed but probably won't. I hate the idea of her having the last say on this, which people will think is all truthful.

Letter to Editor Saying Israel Doesn't Want Peace

I blew my top today when I read a letter from Albany, Oregon to the editor in today's Oregonian saying that "Israel has never really wanted peace." It went on to say that Israel only wants the peace process, negotiations and is stalling so it can get all or most of the land. She went on to say that Hamas has only pitiful rockets and AK-47's, as if they were simply slingshots. Also she felt that the United States and Israel didn't like the outcome of a democratic election that the Palestinians held.

After screaming a lot, I sat down and answered her letter and sent it in. To me this lady knows nothing but the slander she has been reading; the propaganda of the Palestinians. Of course, a little bit of anti-semitism must be part of the mix in her beliefs. People who are so quick to believe the worst of Israel also believe the worst of Jews. I'll print my letter if it doesn't get printed in the paper.

This lady thinks that the Palestinians held a democratic election. The parties were two terrorist organizations; Fatah and Hamas. Fatah isn't any peaceful party, but was crafty enough to state that they recognized Israel. They were suddenly the darling of the USA and Israel. Abbas's history is a shocker at best. He's not a friend of the Jewish people, but is the lesser of the two evils. If I were a Palestinian, I would have feared for my life if I had voted for the more docile party, knowing that revenge was around the corner and I could be killed for doing so. No, it's not the democracy that we know in Portland, Oregon. They're just using the word. This anathema of terrorists terrorizing the opposite party in the name of democracy should be obvious.

Of course Israel wants peace. Only idiots want to have a continuing war in their land. Israelis are not idiots.

Slandering Israel from Palestinians in Portland

Nadene Goldfoot
Free speech is all well and good in America. At Portland State University the Palestinians will have their day to slander Israel in the name of "free speech".

On June 19th, 2007 they will have a free all day propaganda session from 10am to 5pm in Hoffmann Hall. This reminds me of the recent Reed College night propaganda speech I attended. Only a few of the packed audience were Jews. I was curious to see how the Palestinians presented their case.

Way back during World War II, propaganda was spread about Blacks, Japanese and Jews. This is one way of fighting those you hate, and there's always the uninformed who are willing to gobble it up as it suits their thoughts exactly. A Wolf Creek man stated that "we should kill off all the Jews". Rumors implied that Jews were shirking their army duties. Others stated that "Jews controlled all the wealth of the world". In Bend people were saying that Jews were just making a big profit out of the scrap and rubber businesses.

Hitler said that if you repeat something often enough, others will believe it. That's exactly what the Palestinians will be doing now in this Portland State U. all day session.
