This week we welcome Dr Mordechai Kedar, of the Arabic Department of Bar-Ilan University in Tel Aviv. While appearing
recently on Al Jazeera talking about building apartments in Jerusalem, he decided not to take the role of a pinata as expected
by the show's host.
He informed the Al Jazeera interviewer that what Israel does in its own capital was none of the Arab world's business as it
has been the capital of the Jewish people for three thousand years, ever since the ancestors of the Arabs had been burying
their infant daughters live, drinking wine and worshiping stone idols.
Also on the show this week we cover the extraordinary pronouncement by the most senior Judge in Britain that maybe Sharia
isn't so bad. Melanie Phillips' (no relation) blog is a good place to look.
Eye on the UN produced the video of David
Littman being shouted down by Egypt while trying to speak about Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) at the UN Human Rights
Council.
Barry Rubin wrote the tremendous piece noting the New York Time's 1924 headline: "Hitler Tamed By Prison; Released on
Parole, He Is Expected to Return to Austria.". You can find his article here: Prisoner Rehabilitated; Fifty Million Die.
As we approach the 60th anniversary of the foundation of the modern state of Israel, Barry joins us to talk about his latest
reprinting of "The Israel Arab Reader". The book provides over 300 original source documents and gives a massive amount of
background into the Israeli Arab struggle.
In Blog news this week we cover such delights as the BBC's new advert to remind people in Britain that they can go to jail
for not paying up their Telly Tax. Biased BBC has the video.
The Wall
Street Journal has more about the "Hostile" environment at Dartmouth.
Our own Meryl Yourish brought to our attention the disgrace words of Tom Levitt. You can read more here.
We have our regular chat with Evan Sayet and
you can pre-order his new book on Amazon.
Meryl Yourish is talking about the reason Israel needs a strong army
and air force. It's not complicated, Jews just don't think the UN is up to protecting them.
The version of Hatikva I play at the end of the show can be bought as part of the boxed set linked to here. Do consider it, the rest of
the performances are terrific too.
We speak this week to the Libforall founder and CEO, Holland Taylor,
and asked him why they decided to hold a very public event in a Muslim country, specifically to challenge Muslim holocaust
denial.
Earlier in the week, you may have read about a conference on the Indonesian island of Bali, at which a Czech Holocaust
survivor gave a moving address to a multi-faith conference, attended by many Muslim leaders.
It was designed at act as a counterweight to the recent Iranian Conference which maintained that A) the Holocaust didn't
happen, B) it did happen but it was nowhere near as bad as those pesky Jews keep saying, and C) it did happen but Hitler
didn't do a thorough enough job so now the Muslims have to finish it for him.
But at last week's conference, held on the mainly Hindu island of Bali, Indonesia's former president, Abdurrahman Wahid,
also known as Gus Dur, denounced Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for branding the Holocaust a myth. The meeting was
organised by the Libforall Foundation
In the news this week we look at the chaos in Gaza as Hamas seize control and kill anyone they don't like the look of. We
mention the following post from the Blacktygrrrr blog. The sound clips are, of course, from the film Lawrence of Arabia.
For the Dennis Miller shellacking on Fox News of Harry Reid head over to YouTube.

This week we don't have a feature interview as President George Bush didn't return our calls. We wanted to
ask him what he thought about the Dhimmification of Europe and the US. But I guess we'll just have to wait. Instead Tom Paine
talks about the 1940s Noel Coward/David Lean movie 'In Which We Serve'.
In BlogNews this week we go first to the TimeOut Magazine article "Is London's Future Islamic?". Iowahawk managed to find a first draft
of this piece entitled "London's Swinging like a Scimitar" but frankly the original is a parody of itself.
This week Damian goes after Che Guevara and mentions the following post from Mucracked!. Damian's Blog

This week "Tom Paine" remains at the anchor desk, as Brian of London's new baby seems to be taking up a surprising amount of time and energy from two grown adults, especially for such a small package.
The feature interview is with Professor Raphael Israeli, of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, who caused a ruckus in Australia when he suggested Muslim immigration be capped. He gets a chance to explain himself at some length on SNN.

In this week's blog news, Senator Hillary Clinton blacks up, goes down on one knee and belts out a rousing chorus of "Mammy". Next week she's expected to issue a press release insisting that Barak Obama not throw her in the briar patch.
An Iranian Revolutionary Guard General with half the secrets of the Mullahs in his head has managed to defect and is currently helping teams of mysterious men from the Department of Certain Things, with bulges under their arms and wires in their ears with their inquiries.

Meryl Yourish scores another exclusive interview, this time with the Emeritus Professor of Advanced Studies at Princeton, and visiting scholar-in-residence at Oxford University's Department of Extreme Cleverness, Pamela Anderson. Turns out the crazy lady thought Ugg boots were made from, I don't know, Uggs, or something. Every time I read anything Pamela Anderson says, I can feel my brain cells dying.
Laurence Simon, SNN chief Texas field correspondent, reports in from an imaginary world about how John Edwards got his virtual campaign HQ in Second Life vandalised. Jeez, the guy even gets beat up in imaginary worlds! Needless to say evil Rethuglicans are being held responsible, although there's no evidence to support that. Conservatives are just evil man, everyone knows that.

At this moment when the New Year opens in storm, I feel it my duty on behalf of the British Government and indeed the whole British Empire to tell you, Mr. President, how lively is our sense of gratitude and admiration for the memorable declaration which you made to the American people and to the lovers of Freedom in all continents on Sunday last.
We cannot tell what lies before us, but with this trumpet-call we march forward heartened and fortified and with the confidence which you have expressed that in the end all will be well for the English speaking peoples and those who share their ideals.

One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half.
