				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="color: #232323;"><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/IMG_6091-1024x682.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-246762" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/IMG_6091-1024x682-450x337.jpg" alt="IMG_6091-1024x682" width="362" height="271" /></a>A few days ago <a href="http://www.frontpagemag.com/2014/ronn-torossian/the-extremist-radical-new-israel-fund-and-its-funders/">I wrote about the radical, extremist New Israel Fund and</a> their support for groups that hurt the State of Israel.</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">Israel’s Supreme Court issued a stay and agreed to rule on the planned demolition of several terrorists&#8217; Jerusalem homes, including the terrorist who tried to kill American-born Rabbi Yehuda Glick, the terrorist who slammed his tractor into a bus, two who drove their cars into people near train stops, and those who murdered five Israelis a few weeks ago in a brutal massacre during morning prayers in Jerusalem.   The day after that synagogue attack in Jerusalem, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered law enforcement to destroy the homes in question.  The following day, one murderers’ home was destroyed – until the radical extremist organization Hamoked petitioned the Supreme Court on behalf of the terrorists and their families.</p>
<p style="color: #232323;"><span style="color: #1255cc;"><a href="http://www.ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-4598738,00.html">As this article in Yediot Achronot notes,</a></span> Hamoked is representing the families of terrorists. Hamoked is a grantee of the <a href="http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/torossian-extremist-radical-new-israel-fund">New Israel Fund</a>, which has provided $688,901 worth of grants from 2008-2013.</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">One can plainly see on Hamoked’s website their <span style="color: #1255cc;"><a href="http://www.hamoked.org/help-hamoked.aspx">New Israel Fund partnership</a></span>. Donors of New Israel Fund, which funds Hamoked, include Irwin and Joan Jacobs, the Fohs Foundation, the Bonnie and Marty Tenenbaum Foundation, the Edith and Henry Everett Foundation, The Irving Harris Foundation, Susie and Michael Gelman, and others.</p>
<p style="color: #1255cc;"><span style="color: #232323;">A few weeks ago, a major donor to the New Israel Fund, the Leichtag Foundation, responded to my criticism by saying that their donations &#8220;<a href="http://www.sdjewishworld.com/2014/11/18/leichtag-foundation-supporting-anti-israel-groups/">involves the prerogative</a> of a private foundation making determinations on best use of its resources. We are confident that our grant to the New Israel Fund was in line with our strategies and objectives and feel the money was well-spent.</span></p>
<p style="color: #232323;">They can spend their money how they want – yet Ms. Charlene Seidle, executive vice president of the Leichtag Foundation, is the incoming President and Chief Executive Officer of the Jewish Community Foundation of San Diego and this is an inappropriate job for someone with these extremist viewpoints. The incoming CEO of a major Jewish organization helps fund causes which benefit the families of Arab terrorists who kill Jews in Jerusalem.</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">As <em>The Algemeiner Journal</em> reported New Israel Fund is “a controversial foundation that supports dozens of Israel related causes, many of which are considered hostile to the Jewish State.” <a href="http://observer.com/2014/11/new-israel-fund-supports-groups-that-hurt-the-jewish-state/">The New Israel Fund supports groups that hurt the Jewish State.</a> People give charity for many different causes – but those that help protect the families of terrorists would be the people Lenin spoke of when he called people who work against their people’s own best interests in support of their enemies &#8220;useful idiots.&#8221;</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">As Benjamin Netanyahu once said, “The truth is that if Israel were to put down its arms there would be no more Israel. If the Arabs were to put down their arms there would be no more war.”</p>

		<description><![CDATA[How dare anyone deny terrorists and their families the benefits of welfare payments! ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/abbas.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-219530" alt="abbas" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/abbas-450x253.jpg" width="315" height="177" /></a>It has long been Israel&#8217;s answer to merging Orwell with Chelm, the mythical town of amusing stupidity in Jewish folklore.  For years, the Israeli government has provided social security and other social welfare payments to convicted Arab terrorists and murderers.  If an Arab otherwise entitled to unemployment insurance, welfare payments, pensions, or other &#8220;social&#8221; payments happens to engage in terrorism and happens to be imprisoned, he and his family continue to receive the welfare payments.  If the terrorist dies, his dependents collect survivor benefits, like orphans in the US whose parent has passed away but was covered by social security.  Terrorists disabled while planting bombs or attacking Jews could collect disability insurance stipends.</p>
<p>In 2012, an initiative was begun in the Knesset led by David Rotem (from the Yisrael Beitenu party), to cut the stipends and pensions paid to convicted murderers and terrorists by 50%.  That is correct – the Knesset was only one-half working against welfare support for terrorists, by preserving only half of the stupidest idea in human history.  Rotem wanted to eliminate the Paychecks for Terrorists Program altogether but there was too much opposition from the rest of the Knesset and the government&#8217;s pin-headed lawyers. Israel&#8217;s Ministry of Justice bureaucrats opposed any reduction in the welfare benefits for the mass murderers.  It would be unjust, you see.  Insensitive to the needs of the families of the terrorists.  The Israeli Left denounced the initiative as &#8220;anti-democratic.&#8221;</p>
<p>This past week a related initiative in the Knesset sought to deny pensions to convicted terrorists freed from prison, such as in any of those mind-numbingly stupid &#8220;prisoner exchanges&#8221; in which Israel sets the mass murderers free to wander the avenues and byways.  The bill does not really strip them of welfare payments  altogether, it just says they cannot start collecting benefits until the full prison term to which they had been sentenced is finished.  That way they cannot collect early if they are released before the end of the sentence.</p>
<p>What is amazing is that the Israeli Left voted <em>against</em> the bill. How dare anyone deny terrorists and their families the benefits of Israeli welfare payments!  The Menshevik Israeli Labor Party voted <em>against</em> the bill, showing that its  electoral strategy seems to be to challenge the ultra-leftist Meretz party over which party will attract the most votes from the treason constituency.  But even within the Netanyahu coalition, there were dissidents who voted against the bill and in favor of the terrorists.</p>
<p>In particular, Amram Mitzna <a href="http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/177678#.UwdZivmSz-q">voted for the terrorists</a>.  Mitzna is now a member of Tzipi Livni&#8217;s party, which is part of the Netanyahu coalition.  This is the same Mitzna who once was a contender for Prime Minister from Labor, and before that served as the Third-Worldish mayor of Haifa.</p>
<p>Meanwhile the Israeli Left continues to endorse boycotts and more boycotts against Israel.  In some cases it claims it &#8220;only&#8221; wants boycotts directed against settlements, and in other cases it supports world-wide boycotts against all of Israel.  Since all of Israel built and maintains the &#8220;settlements,&#8221; there really is not much of a difference. Ex-Meretz Kommissar Yossi &#8220;Call Me Ishmael&#8221; Sarid is the latest to endorse boycotts, <a href="http://www.haaretz.com/opinion/.premium-1.575481">writing in Haaretz</a> this week.</p>
<p>It needs to be emphasized that these endorsements of anti-Israel boycotts show how fundamentally anti-democratic the Israeli Left is.   The Israeli Left has failed miserably over decades to persuade the Israeli electorate and public of the correctness of its &#8220;ideas.&#8221;  Since the vast majority of Israelis REJECT the platform of the Left, the Leftists stoop to anti-democratic means &#8211; by attempting to get their anti-Israel friends all over the world to subvert Israeli sovereignty and impose the will of the tiny Israeli Leftist minority on the country through extortion and economic warfare.</p>
<p>There is no difference between boycotts of settlements and boycotts of all of Israel.   A democratic Left would attempt to peddle its opinions in the Israeli marketplace of ideas and try to persuade the Israeli public of the correctness of its positions.  If successful, the voters would elect governments who would force the &#8220;settlers&#8221; to leave the &#8220;occupied territories.&#8221;    The &#8220;settlers&#8221; are where they are because the Israeli government and the bulk of the electorate want them to be there, in &#8220;settlements.&#8221;   The economic warfare against &#8220;settlements&#8221; is in fact a program of aggression against the electorate who decided to have &#8220;settlements&#8221; constructed and maintained in the first place, and who continue to wish these &#8220;settlements&#8221; to thrive and grow.   The settlements are the will of the Israeli people and the voting public.</p>
<p>The boycotters, including their amen chorus within the radical Left in Israel, are opposed to democratic rule.  They want to strip the Israeli electorate of its rights of sovereignty.  They want to coerce the country into accepting a program endorsed by perhaps two or three percent of Israelis and opposed by the rest.  The Left insists that removal of &#8220;settlements&#8221; is the path to peace.  But the rest of Israelis think that removal of settlements simply eliminates all obstacles to the erection of a new Islamofascist terrorist entity in the suburbs of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, one that will be used by the terrorists to launch endless massive rocket and missile attacks against the Jews.</p>
<p>Israelis who are <em>not</em> part of the tiny Leftist fringe see the settlements as mine canaries that measure the true intentions of &#8220;Palestinians.&#8221;   They also believe that Israelis have at least as much of a right to live in &#8220;settlements&#8221; in Judea and Samaria (the &#8220;West Bank&#8221;) as Arabs have to live inside Israel.   The Jews are the true indigenous population of the Land of Israel and they are no more &#8220;occupiers&#8221; when they live in the West Bank than Native Americans are when they live in North America.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[He settled with the convicted child abuser for $10,000 — cheaper than hiring a lawyer.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/ADA-discrimination.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-214536" alt="ADA-discrimination" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/ADA-discrimination.jpg" width="380" height="285" /></a></p>
<p>This is <a href="http://www.ihatethemedia.com/ever-wonder-what-those-serial-ada-plaintiffs-are-like">how even the most well-</a>intentioned laws go through three stages.</p>
<p>1. The ideal &#8211; This is what the law is supposed to do</p>
<p>2. The bureaucratic &#8211; The bureaucrats get hold of it and make into an incomprehensible morass of regulations that everyone is in violation of.</p>
<p>3. The lawyerly &#8211; The lawyers find every loophole in the law and begin cashing in</p>
<p>In California, most laws skip right to <a href="http://www.laweekly.com/2013-12-05/news/jon-carpenter-child-abuser-ada-lawsuits/full/">Stage 2 which is how</a> things like this happen.</p>
<blockquote><p>In 2012, Jon Carpenter filed 257 lawsuits in L.A. County — more lawsuits than there were court days — under the Americans With Disabilities Act, a civil rights law intended to give disabled people the same access to places that everyone has.</p>
<p>Carpenter has sued 94 pharmacies for everything from steep ramps and failure to remodel access areas to lack of Braille or hearing-assistance technology for the blind and deaf.</p>
<p>Carpenter&#8217;s hearing and vision, Peters says, were perfectly fine.</p>
<p>California is a rare state that lets people who allege an ADA violation personally win pots of cash in court — $4,000 minimum per violation, plus attorney&#8217;s fees, which can reach tens of thousands of dollars.</p>
<p>Small businesses can be sued if the paper towel dispenser in the bathroom is too high; the customer counter is too tall; aisles are too narrow; or the grade of their wheelchair ramp is steeper than 3 percent.</p>
<p>But in California, defense attorney James Link says, those regulations run about 435 pages. &#8220;I had one case where the coat hook in the men&#8217;s accessible stall at a P.F. Chang&#8217;s was too high.&#8221;</p>
<p>Carpenter and his current attorney, Potter, almost always target mini-malls or small businesses, which must create parking spots for special vans like the one he drives. They also must provide parking lot space for a wheelchair to be lowered, and special signage. Get a detail wrong — even the color of the sign — and Carpenter can sue for $4,000 and up.</p>
<p>&#8220;We didn&#8217;t know that we needed a parking spot for a van,&#8221; says Avi Hadid, owner of a mini-mall at Western Avenue and Washington Boulevard. He settled with the convicted child abuser for $10,000 — cheaper than hiring a lawyer.</p></blockquote>
<p>The convicted child abuser thing is how Carpenter became a paraplegic. Carpenter injured himself to escape prison after molesting a number of 8-year-old girls.</p>
<blockquote><p>In the 1980s, Carpenter was arrested on multiple counts of aggravated sexual abuse and charged with molesting two 8-year-old girls. He was set free after serving less than two days of a one- to- 15-year sentence.</p></blockquote>
<p>Rather than cover his health care costs, the prison dumped him assuming that he was no longer a threat to anyone. But then he got taxpayers to subsidize his lawsuit spree.</p>
<blockquote><p>Disabled plaintiffs routinely ask L.A. Superior Court judges to grant them &#8220;fee waivers&#8221; to get out of paying the $435 court filing fee. Taxpayers pick up the costs, even for convicted felon Jon Carpenter.</p></blockquote>
<p>So what&#8217;s more profitable? Disability lawsuits or drugs?</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;California is the only jurisdiction on the planet that has minimum financial damages for claims of this nature,&#8221; Peters says, referring to the $4,000 floor. He estimates that 42 percent or more of the nation&#8217;s ADA lawsuits are filed in California. &#8220;There are lawyers who have moved from other states just to file these lawsuits here,&#8221; he says. &#8220;It&#8217;s more profitable than [selling] narcotics.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Leave it to the government to really stimulate that economy.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[“Your Honor . . . as you know, I’m not wild about having Jews on the jury in this case,” Cohn told Brooklyn federal Judge Eric Vitaliano in February.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://frontpagemag.com/2013/dgreenfield/jewish-lawyer-for-taliban-terrorist-asks-to-exclude-jews-from-jury/attachment/1350590649/" rel="attachment wp-att-180943"><img class="alignnone  wp-image-180943" title="1350590649" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/1350590649.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="281" /></a></p>
<p>Abdel Hameed Shehadeh traveled to Pakistan hoping to join the Taliban<a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/abdel-hameed-shehadeh-wannabe-jihadi-staten-island-feds-radar-years-article-1.193223"> believing that</a> &#8220;if he died as a martyr in Pakistan he would have received 72 virgins as a reward.&#8221;</p>
<p>He tried to enlist in the army so he could go to Iraq and defect and made Jihadist websites. Now he&#8217;s on trial and his lawyer is asking to keep the Jews off the jury.</p>
<p>His <a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/ban_jury_jews_4MDwYpHWIDfZenMuauPQzI">lawyer however is Jewish</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>“Your Honor . . . as you know, I’m not wild about having Jews on the jury in this case,” Cohn told Brooklyn federal Judge Eric Vitaliano in February.</p>
<p>Lawyer Frederick Cohn will ask a judge today to bar Jews from the jury hearing the case against Abdel Hameed Shehadeh, who’s accused of lying about trying to join jihadists in Pakistan.</p>
<p>“Given that there’s going to be inflammatory testimony about Jews and Zionism, I think it would be hard for Jews to cast aside any innate antipathy,” said Cohn, who is Jewish.</p>
<p>“The American Jewish community is heavily aligned with Israel and Zionism. Here is a guy who is a Muslim, who is opposed to those things.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Apparently Cohn can be trusted to defend a Muslim terrorist, but Jewish jurors can&#8217;t be trusted to deliver a verdict. Considering the number of liberal Jews in groups such as J Street and the ACLU, the odds of ending up with self-hating Jews on a jury aren&#8217;t too bad.</p>
<p>While there are a number of Frederick Cohns out there who are lawyers, we are probably talking about Frederick H. Cohn who was on the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/08/nyregion/08lawyers.html?_r=0">short list to defend Khalid Sheikh Mohammed</a> and has a history of defending really bad people including one of the Al Qaeda East Africa embassy bombers.</p>
<p>Cohn is unfortunately hardly the only Jewish terrorist lawyer out there. There are a whole bunch of them. But Cohn&#8217;s statement also shows the self-hating nature of the Jewish leftist.</p>
<p>But just to make matters worse&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>Federal prosecutors William Sarratt and James Loonam reacted with alarm.</p>
<p>“I don’t think Judge [Robert] Levy will be ready to violate the Constitution and exclude people from the jury on the basis of their religious beliefs,” Sarratt told the judge.</p>
<p>Magistrate Judge Levy will begin selecting the jury this week.</p></blockquote>
<p>Forget excluding Jews from the jury, Cohn is going to have to try and exclude a Jewish judge from picking the jurors.</p>

<p>The National Lawyers Guild&#8217;s earliest antecedent was an agency known as the MOPR (the Russian initials for &#8220;International Class War Prisoners Aid Society&#8221;), which was formed by the Communist International (Comintern) in 1922 as part of its effort to infiltrate American legal organizations. Soon thereafter, MOPR became known as International Red Aid (IRA). In 1925 an American section of IRA was established under the name International Labor Defense (ILD), which in 1936 helped to organize the NLG.</p>
<p>The NLG was officially launched in 1937.  As evidenced by its Comintern roots, there were certainly elements within the early Guild that were dedicated Communist revolutionaries&#8230;.</p>
<p>In 1946 the NLG became affiliated with the International Association of Democratic Lawyers (IADL), which is described in James Tyson&#8217;s 1981 book <em>Target America</em> as &#8220;the world-wide Communist front group for attorneys.&#8221; &#8230;</p>
