Islamic indoctrination in Boston (marathon bombing lessons from an Israeli perspective )

For many years Israel has been trying to explain to the West, including US President Obama and the liberal media, that the root of the Israeli-Arab and Palestinian conflict is extreme Islamic indoctrination to Jihad, violence, and hatred against the West, the US and Jews. However, the West, including President Obama, seems to dismiss such an argument as an excuse and insists that the roots of the conflict and lack of peace are the so-called Israeli occupation, the settlements, poverty, and a sense of humiliation and hopelessness among the Arabs, especially the Palestinians.


Now, after the horrible bombings in Boston, which killed and maimed many Americans, Obama and the liberal media seem still to be in denial of the truth and seem to be looking for any motivation other than the fact that anti-US Islamic indoctrination to hatred was the root of the Boston attack.

It took the president one day after the bombings to bring himself to call the bombing ”an act of terror” and not simply a tragedy. I guess in his mind such acknowledgment would have implied that Islamic terrorism was at play. Then after the capture of the second Boston bombing suspect, the president gave another speech calling the bombers “terrorists” but never brought himself to say “Islamic terrorists.” Moreover, he scolded and warned the American people against “a rush to judgment - not about the motivations of these individuals; certainly not about entire groups of people.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

There is no chance for any true peace for the US and Israel for many years to come since several generations of young Arabs and Muslims have already been lost through daily brainwashing to the dark side of civilization, and nothing Israel or the US can do can bring them back. Islamic terrorism is the reflection of a radical ideology in which the central theme of their brainwashing is irrational and obsessive hatred to those who don't embrace Islam.

my only surprise is that we haven't seen anything on this end of things-yet I'm guessing it's waiting on the memory hole effect to gain some ground

but I wouldn't call this 'an Israeli perspective' so much as 'a right-wing Israeli-American perspective'.One could say that some of the more disagreeable aspects of the Middle East and the Mid-West are here rolled into one! But by no means all Israelis have such views (in fact many don't), and even those who do are usually not quite so obsessed with the evils of American Jewish Democrats.

Her other blog articles have lovely titles such as 'Shame on Jewish Democrats'; 'Betrayal of Israel by liberal Jews'; 'Defeating Obama is top priority' and 'No Chance for Peace'.

This is a quite ugly article, using the deaths of innocents to make a nasty political point. And it is very ahistorical. The Muslim Right, though it certainly does not help matters anywhere, was not, and is not even now, the sole reason for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Most Arab states and the Palestinians were and are opposed to Israel for mainly nationalist reasons. The PLO/ Fatah is mainly secular. Arafat was not especially religious; neither, earlier, were Nasser and other Pan-Arabists. George Habash, one of the most extreme of all, was a Christian and not a Muslim at all.

This is a typical 'Everyone whom I dislike is somehow linked to everyone else whom I dislike' right-wing article.

Fortunately, she only seems to teach MBA students, who will probably remember nothing of anything she says anyway.

Still, seems funny that people like this can hold an academic gig without any problems, but anyone even faintly critical of Israel has to run the gauntlet in order to get tenure.

Shoula believes that the strategic objective of Israel should be to ensure its long term survival by strengthening its military power, and rejecting delusional peace agreements, which include compromising its strategic territorial assets.[4] Shoula believes that peace is not possible between Israel and the Arab Palestinians until a new generation of Palestinians will rise who are not "brain washed" with hatred to Jews and the State of Israel and the glorification of death and "martyrdom".

Shoula has been teaching Business Law, Constitutional Law, Contracts Law, International Law, and Employment Law to MBA and undergraduate students at Baker University and Webster University.

oddly she isn't listed among notable faculty at either University on their respective wiki pages, must be anti-something bias without a doubt

Baker University

Notable faculty

Phog Allen - Collegiate basketball coach at Baker University, the University of Central Missouri and the University of Kansas.
Emil S. Liston - basketball coach (1930–1945) and administrator. Inductee to Basketball Hall of Fame and creator of the NAIA college basketball tournament.
