God bless Phyllis Chesler. God bless the work she does, the books she writes, the support for women all over this globe. God bless her for supporting McCain - Palin. From Phyllis Chesler: "Hillary vs. Sarah, America vs. Iran, and the Film About Stonings in Iran That Ahmadinejad Needs To See"
Yes, that man is coming back on September 22nd to address the UN. Of course, Jewish groups are holding protest rallies and politicians are being hastily invited and are dis-inviting themselves as speakers. Hillary
has now declined to speak on the same platform as Palin, Palin is still
planning to speak, the Democrats are trying to persuade the various
Jewish groups to cancel Palin, and McCain, in his signature
“anti-partisanship” style, is trying to persuade the Democrats to join
the Republicans in speaking out against a nuclear and genocidal Iran.
According to spokeswoman Tracey Schmitt, “Governor Palin
believes that the danger of a nuclear Iran is greater than party or
politics. She hopes that all parties can rally together in opposition
to this grave threat.”
According to Israel Today, Christians demand that the UN indict Ahmadinejad over threats to Israel. (God bless them). A petition signed by 55,000 Christians from 128 nations demanding the arrest and indictment of the Iranian President will be delivered to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon this week, reported The Jerusalem Post.
I have an additional suggestion.
Let’s all watch a movie. There is a suitable one coming our way, based on Iranian journalist Freidoune Sahebjam’s jewel of a book, The Stoning of Soraya M. The great Iranian expatriate actress, Shohreh Aghdashloo, stars in it; reason enough to see it. (continue reading at the Chesler Chronicles)





















Thank you everyone and thank you Fern Sidman for you excellent comments. Much appreciated and needed.

Firstly, allow me to thank my good friend Debbie Hamilton at the Right Truth blog for her comments and for posting today’s article by Dr. Phyllis Chesler along with her picture on her most informative blog.
Now on to the partisan rancor that is insidiously infecting the campaign to spotlight Islamic extremism; i.e. the upcoming visit of Iranian President Ahmadinejad. The fact that Sen. Clinton has cancelled her appearance at the rally to be held Monday in New York, speaks volumes about the Senator’s ostensible committment to raising a voice against the kind of hatred that can lead to worldwide Jihadist domination. Not to mention, but she also fails her constituency in New York, many of whom are organizers and participants at this rally.
The truth is, it is the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations that needs to be taken to task for acquiescing to the pressure of the National Jewish Democratic Council, whose objectives are quite different from those sponsoring and attending this rally.
The writing is on the walls, if we only choose to read it. The NJDC’s objectives are not to educate the public about the urgency of Iran’s nuclear capabilities and how it effects the free world or it’s very real plan to annihilate Israel, or its continued subjugation of women, homosexuals and politcal dissidents, but rather, they are focused on defeating John McCain at the expense of their own interests.
Poor, stupid Jews. Don’t you folks realize that the only person laughing up his sleeve at all this is the “good” president of Iran himself. Aren’t you cognizant of the fact that your feckless attempts to create discord among those who are united in the fight against all that Ahmadinejad stands for will only come back to bite you in the face, or worse. Haven’t you considered the fact that if G-d forbid, Ahmadinejad conquers Israel and his far reaching tentacles also serve as driving force within the USA and the western world, that you liberal Jews will not escape his wrath.
It’s a horrible shame that the participants at this rally will not be able to hear Gov Sarah Palin’s remarks. It is a shame that this courageous woman who is committed to standing strong against Jihadist domination has been disinvited by those who will need her support. Well, I guess it’s not the first time that Jews have cut their nose despite their face.
Praise and accolades go out to Dr. Chesler for conveying the tragic and heartbreaking story of Soraya M. Perhaps this article should be e-mailed to the NJDC, to Sen. Clinton and the other Jewish functionaries at the Democratic party.
Dr. Chesler is indeed, a lonely voice in the wilderness. Her committment and tenacity in regards to speaking and writing about gender apartheid, honor killings, forced marriages, stonings, and beatings of women around the globe is most admirable considering such “feminists” like Sen. Clinton and others of her ilk can’t even manage to summon up a modicum of courage to do so. Rather, they choose to assume the position of “armchair activists”, sitting back and leveling vitrolic denouncements of Dr. Chesler’s work and her political positions. Thank G-d, Dr. Chesler is not dissuaded by the sheer hypocrisy of her critics and detractors.

It is a shame that the invitation Sarah has been rescinded. She would have made a wonderful speaker.

Tell you what...let Ahmadinejad watch the film somewhere OTHER than in the US. It's bad enough our soil is violated by the presence of the UN.

Maybe the Iran president should be forced to watch the film in front of the United Nations.
He can then explain to everyone what is the difference between his version of peace, and the rest of the world's.
