Shalit's first interview on Egyptian TV

Hamas & Fatah "We want a new Schalit", Video

Hundreds of Palestinians gathered in the West Bank on Tuesday morning to celebrate the impending release of prisoners in the first stage of the Gilad Schalit deal, Channel 2 news reported.

Chants of "The people want a new Schalit," could be heard as Hamas and Fatah supporters waved flags together as part of large scale celebrations.

Home Sweet Home! Shalit hopes his release will lead to Peace! Relatives of other missing soldiers furious and angry!

A chief Israeli military spokesman has reportedly confirmed the now 25-year-old is back on home soil, saying: "Gilad Shalit has returned home."
Meanwhile, the first buses carrying Palestinian prisoners being freed as part of the deal have been welcomed amid jubilant scenes in Gaza after crossing the border from Egypt.
And an interview with the freed Israeli soldier on Egyptian television appeared to show him looking thin and nervous, but well.
"You can't imagine how I felt when I heard I was going home," he said
"I received this news a week ago and I felt then that this would be my last chance to be free.
"They were long years. But I always thought the day would come when I finally get out of captivity."


An emotional Shalit speaks to his parents on the telephone
"Of course I miss my family very much. I also miss my friends.
"I hope this deal will lead to peace between Palestinians and Israelis and that it will support cooperation between both sides."
The exchange between Israel and its bitter enemy Hamas sees Israel freeing a total of 1,027 prisoners - hundreds of them from life sentences imposed for killing Israelis.
Gilad Shalit was a 19-year-old corporal when he was captured by three Gaza-based militant groups in a deadly cross-border raid on June 25, 2006.
Three days after he was snatched, Israel launched a huge military operation against Gaza to try to secure his release, which lasted five months and left more than 400 Palestinians dead.
But the operation was unsuccessful and in June 2007, Hamas seized power in Gaza, holding the young soldier at a secret location until now.

RUSH: Zbigniew Brzezinski was on his daughter's TV show today.  His daughter is Mika Brzezinski, and she cohosts Morning Joe with Joe Scarborough.  Now, Zbigniew Brzezinski is the former national security advisor to Jimmy Carter.  He's a frequent guest on his daughter's program on MSNBC and he said some really odd things today.  He wants to publish the names of people who make a lot of money, says that would be very helpful in redistributing wealth.  I expect Romney and Cantor to endorse this within five days.  I wouldn't be surprised if one of them defecates on a cop car just to show solidarity with the protestors.  But back to Brzezinski.  Zbigniew Brzezinski wants anybody making a lot of money to be pointed out, and after saying that, then he said he didn't want Wall Street demonized.  This is from the Blaze.com.  Then he went to demonizing people who legally earn a lot of money and spend it in ways that apparently he would not. 

He said, "We have to have disclosure of the rich and who they are.  We have to have transparency.  We have to have control."  Now who is he anyway to be talking about -- I mean Zbigniew Brzezinski was the national security advisor, he's an historian.  He knows why the Serbs don't like whoever they don't like, and he knows why the Turks don't like whoever they don't like, he knows that stuff.  Yeah.  (interruption) Well, he hasn't gone that far, but yeah, we'll tattoo the rich, give 'em armbands that they have to wear so everybody knows who they are, and if they refuse to play ball, if they refuse to start spending their money and hiring people and giving money away, then we'll identify 'em even further. 

"We need more fair distribution of social responsibility through taxation and elimination of loopholes and pressure even on the rich to avoid flaunting their wealth."  This from Doctor Zbigniew Brzezinski, who was the first guy every morning that Jimmy Carter met with, after he spoke to David Rockefeller.  Brzezinski spoke to Rockefeller, then walked in and had his conference every morning with Carter.  I'm just making that up.  I'm trying to stir it up out there amongst the conspiracy, tinfoil hat crowd.  "A list of the rich to pressure them to give back."  How about tattooing a dollar sign on their foreheads or some other place where it can't be hidden?  Where would you tattoo a dollar sign on the rich, Snerdley, that they couldn't cover it up?  On their hand?  You can wear a glove. Well, yeah, you can wear a hat, but the hat has to come off at some point, especially if you go to a church, you go to a building. 

He went on to say, "Unfortunately there is an even larger number of people who massively enriched themselves over the last decade, incredibly so, to the degree that we now have this highly disproportionate social division between the rich and the poor, and I think they should be made known publicly.  Public pressure, public condemnation, public shame can be very effective."  By the way, there's news out today that Wells Fargo posted a profit, Citibank posted a profit.  Now, in the old days that would have been good news.  That meant that these places were financially healthy and that you could trust your money being there and maybe even go get a job there.  Now they post a profit and they are suspects.  Now they post a profit, and all of a sudden we gotta be suspicious, that's bad news out there.  Something's wrong, they made a profit.  (interruption) Well, that's an interesting question.  That's the kind of question one of my used-to-be favorite comedians Irwin Corey would answer.  What was it like when there were no rich people? 

What was it like when everybody was the same?  And of course that day never was.  There never has been a day where there was total sameness.  There's always been income inequality, and sometimes it's not from income.  Some people steal theirs.  But there's always been disparity in how much money people have.  There's never been the day where everybody had the same amount of money.  But I mean if you're a business and you're gonna announce a profit, you may as well do it Friday night at eight o'clock when nobody's gonna hear about it.  You could make the rich wear yellow stars.  You could tattoo the dollar sign on both of their faces.  Anyway, that's Zbigniew Brzezinski.  Now, the conventional pronunciation is Brzezinski, but I happen to know that the correct Polish pronunciation is Brzezinski, and I like to be correct.

DIN: Maybe it was a gift but either way  we have a big Shailah whether she has to make a brocho. Lulav is a mitzvah sh'hazman grama, so really she would not have to make a brocho, this is actually a machlokas hapoiskim. I don't think she made a brocho, but on her hat she definitely has to make a brocho .. "sh'hecechayanu", but again, maybe she had her hat in mind when she lit candles.

Poll: Cain 43% Obama 41%

Herman Cain

Whether Herman Cain’s surge in the polls is temporary or has staying power, he’s enjoying a big enough bounce to take a very slight lead over President Obama in a hypothetical 2012 matchup. At the moment, the Georgia businessman is the only Republican with a lead of any kind over Obama, although former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney has held a similar advantage several times and is currently trailing the president by just two points.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely U.S. Voters shows Cain attracting 43% support, while Obama earns 41%. Given such a matchup, eight percent (8%) prefer some other candidate, and another eight percent (8%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Cain is tied with Romney for the lead in the race for the GOP presidential nomination.  Nobody else is even close at the moment.

Coffee to Disappear in our Lifetime

ADL Silent on "Occupy Wall Street" Antisemitism

The Anti-Defamation League is one of the most powerful and authoritative voices against bigotry of all kinds–not just in the United States, but throughout the world.

Yet the ADL’s message has been compromised by left-wing political bias, most recently in its failure to denounce the evident antisemitism of the “Occupy Wall Street” movement.

By contrast, the ADL was quick to accuse the Tea Party movement of antisemitism when it began.

In May 2009, shortly after the first Tea Party rallies in April, the ADL warned: “White Supremacists and Anti-Semites Plan to Recruit at July 4 Tea Parties.”

In November, the ADL issued a “special report” on the Tea Party and “anti-government conspiracies.” The ADL noted that “extremists were a tiny minority of Tea Party protesters,” but claimed Tea Party members were filled with “rage” and held ideas that “fall outside the mainstream.”

As of this writing, the ADL has said nothing about the “rage” and bigotry on display at several “Occupy” rallies. Instead, it is minimizing the antisemitism on display, effectively helping “Occupy” do damage control.

One ADL analyst told the Daily Caller:

“We have seen instances of individuals promoting these [antisemitic] views. We do not think that it is or has been institutionalized in the ‘Occupy Wall Street’ movements,” she said. “But I think the bigger issue is sort of that when there is a heightened focus economic strife and the financial industry it is not surprising to see these messages. Yet, we will continue to be diligent, looking for them and combating the promotion of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories should they arise.”

Todd Gutnick, ADL’s media relations director, confirmed this morning: “Aside from the story in the Daily Caller in which we were quoted, ADL has made no statements on the Occupy movement.”

That is alarming, given the explicit anti-Jewish hatred on display at Occupy rallies across the country.

For example, on October 12, Reason.tv posted an interview with Patricia McAllister, a self-described employee of the Los Angeles Unified School District, and a demonstrator at Occupy LA. She stated: “I think that, uh, the Zionist Jews who are running these big banks, and our Federal Reserve, which is not run by the federal government–they need to be run out of this country.”
