Courageous Roddick retires


Courageous Andy  Roddick retires

Jews will fondly remember Grand Slam winner and all - round great guy Andy Roddick as the only player to withdraw fom the Dubai  Barclays/ United Arab Emirates tennis tournament in February 2009, as a protest against Israeli Player Shaha Peer being denied a visa to play! 

His advertisements were great: remember 'Pong'? And those trophies? We all wish him well in his recently announced retirement.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Shahar Pe'er controversy

In February 2009, Israeli player Shahar Pe'er was prevented from playing at the Barclays Dubai Tennis Championships, as she was denied a visa by the United Arab Emirates, a country that does not have diplomatic relations with Israel. Tournament director Salah Tahlak said that Pe'er was refused on the grounds that her appearance could incite anger in the Arab country, after she had already faced protests at the ASB Classic over the 2008–2009 Israel–Gaza conflict.[1]
A number of top-seeded players, among them Venus Williams,[2] condemned the action to not grant Pe'er a visa. WTA chief executive Larry Scott said the women's tour was "deeply disappointed" by the decision. "Ms Pe'er has earned the right to play in the tournament and it's regrettable that the UAE is denying her this right", he said. "Ms Peer and her family are obviously extremely upset and disappointed by the decision of the UAE and its impact on her personally and professionally." Scott said the WTA would "review appropriate future actions with regard to the future of the Dubai tournament".[3] In reaction to the move, the Tennis Channel decided not to televise the event,[4][5] and The Wall Street Journal dropped its sponsorship.[6] Scott said that he had considered cancelling the tournament, but chose not to after consulting Pe'er.
The rejection of the tennis player's visa application violates WTA rules, which state that no host country should deny a player the right to compete at a tournament for which she has qualified by ranking.[7] The WTA held the tournament accountable in part because of its sponsorship by Dubai Duty Free, a government enterprise, and also because the event was "Under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum, vice president and prime minister of the UAE and ruler of Dubai."[8] In response to the refusal of the UAE to issue the visa, the Dubai Tennis Championship was fined a record US$300,000. The fine was appealed by DTC, but the WTA Tour Board rejected the appeal.[9] The tour also demanded that Dubai organizers confirm that qualifying Israeli players will get visas at least eight weeks in advance for the 2010 event.[9] Pe'er was awarded US$44,250, an amount equal to the average prize money she earned per tournament in 2008.[10] A number of highly-ranked tennis players, including 2008 winner Andy Roddick, pulled out of the men's ATP tournament in Dubai in protest. Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal also pulled out of the tournament, although they both cited injury as their reason for withdrawal, not the incident involving Pe'er. As a result, the UAE issued Andy Ram a visa for the men's tournament.[8]

ERIC BUTLER: USEFUL IDIOT / PATRIOT DEFENCE??



From: g87

Subject: ERIC BUTLER USEFUL IDIOT DEFENCE??

Inverted cliches
In claiming ignorance of Eric Butler being eschewed by mainstream Australia of all political, religious shades as being persona -non grata at best, Adrian Kelleher Letters 28/8 uses the Manuel classical argument of ignorance: 'I know nothing.'

Devoid of the comic genious / innocence of Fawlty Towers, of course.

I can think of a number of scenarios whereby Butler would serve.

Too many.

  1. He decided to cloak himself with the Patriotic defence; perhaps to blind useful supporters and like - minded extremists.
  2. He was indeed 'big' on queen - and - country: and indeed used the patriotic defence all his life. [Refer to Samuel Johnson famous quote about rogues and patriots.] He decided that the above risk was worth the 1% risk of an early demise.
  3. Pressure to serve for those eligible? How would it look for a man with his views to have exposed himself to the criticism of trying to avoid National Service?
Waving the gun around strikes me as a reasonable synopsis.

  • I DON'T know what Eric Butler's political opinions were, nor do I know what he believed in. But I do know one thing for certain: any man who has risked his life in defence of the freedoms that I enjoy as an Australian citizen is worthy of my respect.
    For Phillip Adams to denigrate Eric Butler's military service as merely "waving a gun around" is disgraceful.

    Dr Editor Lawrence,
    RE MY LETTER PUBLISHED TODAY IN THE AUSTRALIAN
    The matter below re THE LEAGUE OF RIGHTS is of such interest to readers of the Jewish News that even the enemies – whose letters you regularly publish would agree with my sentiments.
    I vouchsafe that you may be able to republish to advantage. SEE BELOW LINKS
    As discussed with your secretary ‘Sharon’ – I request that this email and links below to my published items in The Australian – be on forwarded to your owner / publisher Robert Magid.
    I understand that this will be done.
    I look forward to Mr Magid’s comments: pathetically you allowed him to be eviscerated by our leftist enemies – on your leftist altar of freedom of press citadel of media [alleged] virtue!
    Have no doubt majority of Jews support my sentiments – and buy your rag because there is no other – and want to keep in touch even the act of keeping in touch with / via your organ leaves them contemplating cancelling their subscription! More and more will contemplate thus diminishing your journal – it is a major step – and too few are for now prepared to make the denouement.
    I ask you, Mr Lawrence: would you publish anything? Our enemies’ internicine hatred with no consideration to the implications?
    Even a theme that hitler did not kill enough of my family!???^%$^%#$%$@!!
    So – if freedom of press does not encompass this hopefully merely rhetorical flourish from my person – by what right do you publish SIMPLISTIC TRITE RUBBISH – knowing that it is impossible to debunk it in brief words?
    Furthermore - exactly how many articles attacking Islam have you ever seen in their press???????
    One more thing Mr Lawrence – do you even care that your publication is used by our enemies to HUGELY disparage Israel?
    You may be able to inform this writer and Mr Magid why you never publish me!
    I have given up – and no longer even buy the AJN since it became a vehicle for the disparate ramblings of Israel’s enemies! And worse – since my letters – representing 99% I claim of your mainstream readership – are NEVER published! What say ye – re the below letter that WAS published?

    Conspiracies Destroyed

    Adrian Jackson Letters 27/8 defends a variation of the League Of Rights attack on Jews: insisting that the late, unlamented Eric Butler apparently merely loathed ''Jewish financial interests'' and was ''principally concerned with Christian interests from a Christian orientation.''

    I doubt whether any Christian deity would defend him. And Jackson's weak cliche of ''sour grapes'' does not hide the fact that my friends Rupert Murdowski and the esteemed late Kerry Pacanowski will / would not take kindly to his oblique attempted insults.

    This is the way the League of Rights are: if they are not into conspiracies about Jewish domination - financial and otherwise, then it is their successors the CEC who accuse the Queen being a drug runner, invert meaning of words into conspiracies [synarchist: see wiki definition confirmation] and generally ensure that intelligent people eschew conspiracies.

    They have a lot to answer for - the JFK conspiracy may not get off the ground today.
    The 'best' ones are laughed out of existence.

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Synarchism is a term which generally refers to "joint rule" or "harmonious rule".
    Beyond this general definition, however, both "synarchism" and "synarchy" have been used to describe several different political processes in various contexts. Increasingly, the terms have been used by conspiracy theorists to mean rule by a secret elite.[1]

  • It is not correct that part of my complaint to the council "challenged the claim that Butler was generally anti-Semitic".
    The adjudication is more accurate in stating that I complained that Butler's views "were inaccurately portrayed as primarily anti-Semitic when in reality they were principally concerned with public service from a Christian orientation".
    My unpublished letter had specifically focused on the injustice of Adams's claim that Butler's "favourite theme" was "the evils of the Jewish race".
    An anomaly of the adjudication is its report that The Australian admitted that such might indeed not have been Butler's favourite theme. It is hard to see why the council did not accept that as vindication of that part of my complaint.
    Your onslaught on Butler and the council smacks of sour grapes. It also looks like a shield for those Jewish financial interests that were Butler's real target, not the Jews generally.


    Nigel Jackson, Belgrave, Vic
    ..................................................................................
    YOUR journalists deserve commendations for showing what the League of Rights and the Press Council stand for. The council's idea that an opinion piece in effect has to take the form of a debate in the first instance, is asinine.
    Moreover, the idea all opinions need equal merit and space in a rebuttal by aggrieved parties, is absurd. Both are inimical to common sense.

    Israeli soldiers break silence on abuse
  • From:The Australian 
  • August 25, 2012 12:00AM

  • Palestinian youth
    Troops arrest a Palestinian youth for throwing stones. Source: AFP
    TESTIMONIES by 30 former Israeli soldiers and commanders portrayed a culture of violence and abuse in the Israeli Defence Forces towards Palestinian children, according to a report released yesterday to international media and detailed in a major article in this weekend's Yedioth Ahronoth, Israel's biggest-selling newspaper.
    Debate about the treatment of Palestinian children has grown since 60 of Israel's leading child experts, academics and psychologists wrote to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu protesting against "offensive arrests and investigations that ignore the law."
    The new report is by Breaking the Silence, an organisation of former Israeli soldiers who came together in 2004 and have now collected more than 850 testimonies from former and current Israeli soldiers and commanders about abuses they committed or witnessed.
    In response to the report, the IDF told The Weekend Australian: "Breaking the Silence has been asked numerous times to reveal the testimonies and claims they collect regarding IDF activity prior to publication in order to check and verify their claims.

    "As a matter of policy, the organisation chooses not to provide the IDF and other relevant bodies with the critical material necessary for investigation. By compiling testimonies over long periods of time and refusing to provide additional detail, (Breaking the Silence) proves its true intentions - rather than facilitating proper investigation, the organisation seeks to generate negative publicity regarding the IDF and its soldiers."
    In response, Yehuda Shaul from Breaking the Silence said: "Over 70 of our testifiers have come out publicly with their names and identities revealed, and I'm one of them. If the IDF was interested in investigating our claims, we probably would have already been summoned to 

    nterrogations."
    The report coincided with an escalation of violence against Palestinians. Israeli police described as "a lynching" an incident in Jerusalem this week in which dozens of people watched a mob of Jewish teenagers bash a 17-year-old Palestinian unconscious.
    The Israeli media said the group had been roaming the city chanting "Death to Arabs" until they came across the teenager.
    "They were looking to hurt an Arab," the police said. Separately, six Palestinians, including a five-year-old boy, were burned but not killed when a group, believed to be Jewish settlers, threw explosives at their bus.
    The US State Department now defines attacks by Jewish settlers as terrorism.
    Also this week, Israeli soldiers were caught on video bashing Palestinian journalists clearly marked as "press". The Foreign Press Association wrote to the IDF: "The soldiers shown attacking our colleagues are acting like a bunch of thugs."
    The IDF is investigating.
    The new report is by soldiers who served in and around the West Bank and Gaza Strip from 2005 to last year.
    Despite a High Court ruling against using children as "human shields", former soldiers said this practice continues.
    The report said the testimonies "serve as witness to the ongoing slide of the military system toward increasing immorality."
    One former soldier said his commander beat a Palestinian boy "to a pulp" - so hard he broke his stick. "That kid was such a mess, broken apart," he said.
    He said the commander, in front of the boy's parents, then put a gun-barrel in the boy's mouth saying: "Anyone gets close, I kill him. Don't annoy me."
    Another said when soldiers were bored they would provoke a riot. "We'd go up to the windows of a mosque, smash the panes, throw in a stun grenade make a big boom, the we'd get a riot," he said.
    "At best, in the middle of prayers - that annoys them the most."
    One former soldier from the Kfir Brigade said a soldier would put children against a wall and hit them between the legs. He made them sing the Israeli national anthem "and if they didn't sing on beat, they'd get a blow with that rod to their knee".
    A former member of the navy said every morning shots would be fired at children in Gaza "to the point that fire was directed at their legs, at kids who stood on the beach or rode a surfboat into the water." One commander was said to have thrown a stun grenade towards a seven-year-old to make him run away.
