O Little Lights of Mystery
O little lights of mystery
You recall our history
And all that went before
The battles and the bravery
And our release from slavery
Miracles galore.
As my eyes behold your flames
I recall our heroes' names
And our ancient dream:
“Jews were learning how to fight
To defeat an awesome might
They could reign supreme”
“They would rule their own domain
When the enemy was slain,
The Temple cleansed and whole.
Once there was a Jewish land
And a mighty Jewish hand.”
Oh, how it moves my soul!
O little lights of mystery
You retell our history
Your tales are tales of pain.
My heart is filled with fears
My eyes are filled with tears
"What now?" says the haunting refrain
The above Chanukah poem was written by Morris Rosenfeld, in Yiddish, at a time when the land of Israel was a dream within a dream and the idea of Jews fighting for and gaining their homeland seemed impossible. Morris died in 1924, before the dream first became a reality, and then, became a nightmare:
Hell is a Jewish state devoid of Jewish values that picks up where the anti-Semites, the pogromers, and the exilers left off. Hell is a Jewish prime minister who has become a cannibal of his own people. Hell is when a country has lost its will to exist and begins a process of national suicide. Hell is when Jews with Jewish values have become outcast in their own land. Hell is when the Jewish state becomes worse than the exile. - Gershon Perlman
Tonight is not just Shabbat, its Shabbat Chanukah.
Isaiah 31:4 For thus saith the LORD unto me: Like as the lion, or the young lion, growling over his prey, though a multitude of shepherds be called forth against him, will not be dismayed at their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them; so will the LORD of hosts come down to fight upon mount Zion, and upon the hill thereof.
Isaiah 31:5 As birds hovering, so will the LORD of hosts protect Jerusalem; He will deliver it as He protecteth it, He will rescue it as He passeth over.
I believe in miracles.
Our Father in Heaven, Rock and Redeemer of Israel, bless the State of Israel, the first manifestation of the approach of our redemption. Shield it with Your loving kindness, envelop it in Your peace, and bestow Your light and truth upon its leaders, ministers, and advisors, and grace them with Your good counsel. Strengthen the hands of those who defend our holy land, grant them deliverance, and adorn them in a mantle of victory.
Ordain peace in the land and grant its inhabitants eternal happiness. Lead them, swiftly and upright, to Your city Zion and to Jerusalem, the abode of Your Name, as is written in the Torah of Your servant Moses: “Even if your outcasts are at the ends of the world, from there the Lord your God will gather you, from there He will fetch you. And the Lord your God will bring you to the land that your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it; and He will make you more prosperous and more numerous than your fathers.”
Draw our hearts together to revere and venerate Your name and to observe all the precepts of Your Torah, and send us quickly the Messiah son of David, agent of Your vindication, to redeem those who await Your deliverance.
Manifest yourself in the splendor of Your boldness before the eyes of all inhabitants of Your world, and may everyone endowed with a soul affirm that the Lord, God of Israel, is king and his dominion is absolute.
Amen.

Hostilities Exist
U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, December 8, 1941:
Yesterday, December 7, 1941 - a date which will live in infamy - the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.
The United States was at peace with that nation and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with its Government and its Emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific. Indeed, one hour after Japanese air squadrons had commenced bombing in the American Island of Oahu, the Japanese Ambassador to the United States and his colleague delivered to the Secretary of State a formal reply to a recent American message. And while this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or of armed attack.
It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time the Japanese Government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.
The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian Islands has caused severe damage to American naval and military forces. I regret to tell you that very many American lives have been lost. In addition American ships have been reported torpedoed on the high seas between San Francisco and Honolulu.
Yesterday the Japanese Government also launched an attack against Malaya. Last night Japanese forces attacked Hong Kong. Last night Japanese forces attacked Guam. Last night Japanese forces attacked the Philippine Islands. Last night the Japanese attacked Wake Island. And this morning the Japanese attacked Midway Island.
Japan has, therefore, undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the Pacific area. The facts of yesterday and today speak for themselves. The people of the United States have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our nation.
As Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense.
But always will our full national remember the character of the onslaught against us.
No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.
I believe that I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make it very certain that this form of treachery shall never again endanger us.
Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger.
With confidence in our armed forces - with the unbounding determination of our people - we will gain the inevitable triumph - so help us God.
I ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, December seventh, 1941, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese Empire."
A complete list of those lost: Never forget the brave.

What he said!
After nearly a year on hiatus, Sir Banagor is back! Here's a bit from his latest titled "Ron Paul is an anti-Semitic Nazi Asshole Fuck":
Anyone who goes around courting neo-Nazis, Islamists, 9/11 conspiracy theorists and other lunatics who basically hate Jews, Jews, Jews, really needs a kick in the balls. And even if he doesn’t actually court them, he’s not repudiating them either.
It’s not his war stance which upsets me as much as his followers. They’re nuts. They’re insane. They’re fucking lunatics who can’t shut up, hate Israel, hate Jews, hate Bush, hate anyone who likes Israel, Jews, and Bush, and won’t stop telling everyone about it. They’re so fucking dumb that they even think that spamming online polls will actually make a difference in a real election.
and...
Listen up, fuckfaces (that’s another one that I can use - means the same thing as “Ron Paul Supporter”): Ron Paul isn’t about tax reform, liberty, abortion, or anything else you think Ron Paul is about. Ron Paul is about what his most extreme core supporters are about: hating Jews, Jews, Jews, and anything to do with them. If you’re voting for Ron Paul because you think you’re going to show how dissatisfied you are with the system, then you might as well vote for whomever else Stormfront decides to openly support. That makes you a Nazi supporter as well. And until your messiah against the Jews comes out and lashes like a madman against all those assholes who are courting his agenda with money and attention, then that makes you party to the same cause as well. It doesn’t mean shit if you’re black or brown or Jewish or left-handed Lithuanian because the tag “Useful Fucking Idiot” trumps all of those labels if you’re going out and supporting Ron Paul at this point.
and...
If there is one thing I am grateful for towards Ron Paul, it’s that he showed (and is currently still showing) everyone where most of the anti-war activists belong: in bed with Neo-Nazis, extreme leftists who love Hugo Chavez and hate our country, David Duke, 9/11 conspiracy idiots, Islamists, and all the other morons in this country who think that the Patriot Act is somehow about their pathetic and fucking boring little lives.
and...
By the way, Paulites: I want you to hate me. I revel in it. I enjoy it. I want you to loathe me in the same way that I loathe you as well. Please do. Please make my day. Hate me. Really hate me. I can’t help but laugh at your hatred. I also can’t help but laugh at the fact that Ron Paul will never be president, and you’re all wasting your time and money on him. It feels good knowing that the enemy is going to lose. It’s a foregone conclusion.
dayum! That was awesome, and that's just the highlights. There's more here!
Welcome back Sir Banagor. This faithful fan has missed you!

Will the stupidity ever end?
The founders of the Green Hanukkia campaign found that every candle that burns completely produces 15 grams of carbon dioxide. If an estimated one million Israeli households light for eight days, they said, it would do significant damage to the atmosphere.
"The campaign calls for Jews around the world to save the last candle and save the planet, so we won't need another miracle," said Liad Ortar, the campaign's cofounder, who runs the Arkada environmental consulting firm and the Ynet Web site's environmental forum.
As if we Jews didn't have enough to worry about:
Thanks for the tip, DoubleU!

A Day for Mourning
On this day in 1945, by a vote of 65 to 7, the United States Senate approves United States participation in the United Nations (the UN was established on October 24, 1945)
It has been said that an alien observing the United Nations' debates, reading its resolutions, and walking its halls would conclude that its principal purpose is to censure, condemn and destroy first the country of Israel and second, the United States of America, and that its way to accomplish its purpose is through the protection and nurturing of terrorism throughout the world. That is most certainly true.

Your Tax Dollars at Work
Twenty-nine-year old Ido Zoldan of Shavei Shomron was murdered on November 19, 2007 in a terror attack, leaving behind his wife Tehila and his children, three-year-old Aharon and one-year-old Rachel.
Ido Zoldan and his family were putting their lives together after being expelled from their home in the community of Homesh during the 2005 disengagement from Gaza.
Who killed him?
Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah terrorist branch, the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades said it carried out the attack to demonstrate its opposition to the Annapolis conference.
But, earlier today in Israel, the news was released that one day after the terror attack, the IDF arrested three "Palestinian policemen" for the murder of Ido Zoldan, two of them confessed, and they picked up the third.
So. They waited a week before telling us who was behind this murder, obviously to avoid any negative press before Annapolis, so Condi Rice could sit down and schmooze with Mahmoud Abbas, leader of the most active and evil terrorist group in the world.
And... in case you are wondering, yes, these would be the same "Palestinian policemen" that the United States of America has armed and trained to kill, using our tax dollars to support terrorism.
