"In his acceptance speech, Carter demonstrates how richly he deserves his cringing dhimmi statuette when he says that "apartheid in Palestine is not based on racism but the desire of a minority of Israelis for Palestinian land and the resulting suppression of protests that involve violence."

Well, hell. Don't we all want to suppress protests that involve violence? (throws peanuts)

The American Dhimmi of the Year 2006...JIMMY CARTER!!

Well, I guess this ignoramus Jimmy Carter lives in America, but he has proven that he'd be better suited, & happier living with the poor Syrians.....Or, is it Palestinians?

Off topic, sort of.....Hamas and Fatah have just battled it out in a street fight over in Gaza...Hopefully they'll wipe each other out.

Sorry for the bad link: Here's the story.....

By IBRAHIM BARZAK - Associated Press Writer

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip(AP) Gunmen allied with Hamas and Fatah clashed at a West Bank mosque and in Gaza Strip streets on Friday, as violence spread to areas of the Palestinian territories normally untouched by factional strife.

Hamas accused a Fatah leader of orchestrating the previous day's attack on Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh _ and a Hamas politician appeared to call for the Fatah strongman's assassination. Leaders of both groups have warned that the violence threatens to degenerate into civil war.

The clashes in Gaza City and the West Bank town of Ramallah marred celebrations Friday marking the 19th anniversary of Hamas' founding. However, the Islamic militant group pushed ahead with its rallies, and about 70,000 loyalists gathered at a stadium in Gaza City, cheering wildly, sobbing and firing in the air when Haniyeh arrived flanked by more than 50 armed bodyguards.

"We joined this movement to become martyrs, not ministers," Haniyeh declared in a fiery speech, referring to Hamas loyalists' willingness to die for the Islamic cause.

He then left for an emergency session of the Hamas-led Cabinet, called to discuss the escalating unrest.

The fighting Friday in the normally peaceful city of Ramallah began when Hamas supporters tried to march toward the town center, where Fatah-allied police had deployed to prevent a planned Hamas celebration.

Police formed a cordon around a Hamas mosque to prevent those inside from marching, then beat them with clubs and fired their rifles in the air when the activists tried to leave. The marchers fought back, throwing stones and bottles at the police, some of whom fired into the crowd.

Thirty-two people were wounded by stones and gunfire, hospital officials said.

In Gaza City, masked Hamas gunmen waged battle with Fatah-allied police near a security post.

The showdown, a block from the home of Mohammed Dahlan, broke out shortly after Hamas accused the Fatah strongman of orchestrating the attack on Haniyeh on Thursday at the Gaza-Egypt border terminal.

The latest round of fighting erupted Monday with a drive-by shooting that killed the three young sons of a Fatah security official and continued Wednesday with the gangland-style execution of a Hamas judge.

On Thursday, Haniyeh rushed home from a trip abroad to try to quell the violence.

But Israel ordered the Rafah crossing closed to keep Haniyeh from bringing in an estimated $35 million he had collected abroad to help alleviate the Palestinian financial crisis. Israeli officials said Haniyeh could return to Gaza without the money, which it said was to be used for terror attacks. Maria Telleria, spokeswoman for European monitors at the crossing, said Haniyeh left the funds in Egypt.

Israeli Deputy Defense Minister Ephraim Sneh told Israel's Army Radio that government officials made the right decision not to let Haniyeh bring the money into Gaza, adding that if Haniyeh had been killed, "I wouldn't put up a mourning tent."

While Haniyeh was delayed at the crossing, angry Hamas militants stormed the border terminal and fought with security forces stationed there who are loyal to President Mahmoud Abbas, Fatah's leader.

When Haniyeh finally crossed, unidentified men began firing toward him. One of his bodyguards was killed and his son and 26 others were wounded.

At the bodyguard's funeral, Khalil al-Hayeh, head of the Hamas bloc in parliament, told mourners that Dahlan was trying to instigate a coup against the government and appeared to call for his assassination.

Al-Hayeh exhorted the crowd to "get us the plotters of the coup."

"We will, we will," the crowd replied.

Congratulations to the winners of the Anti-dhimmi awards!
Some of my personal choices may not have made the Dhimmi of the Year awards this year, but I would like to nominate as runners-up the whole ISG (Iraq Surrender Group); Jon Snow anchor of Britain's Channel 4 TV News; the Editor of the London Guardian newspaper and his arch-dhimmi mouthpiece Madelaine Bunting the columnist, as worthy candidates.

Posted by: moris2 at December 15, 2006 5:53 PM

Carter said this???

"...suppression of protests that involve violence."

Who in their right mind would not want to suppress protests that involve violence?

Is he mad?

Kudos, to your choice. A madman!

Yaaaaaay!

OT: And in Canada, the new sitcom, "Little Mosque on the Prairie", is scheduled to debut on CBC TV on January 9th.

From the website:
"Little Mosque On The Prairie is an unabashedly comedic look at a small Muslim community interacting with the denizens of a little prairie town, as both groups try to find their way in an uncertain post 9/11 world. The sitcom reveals that although different, we are all surprisingly similar when it comes to family, love, the generation gaps and our attempts to balance our secular and religious lives while trying to understand those of others in the community."

I just saw a short promo for it. There weren't any clips and I had the sound off but it read something like, "And you thought all Muslim news originated in a cave somewhere..." Oh, ho, ha, I'm splittin' my sides, laughin'.

I think it's possible he meant that the suppression involved violence and not the protests. I got a kick out of this slip of the tongue - if indeed it is (at least W isn't the only one who trips over his words once in awhile)

It's like the JW poster who recently said: "they just want to go into their mosques and prey"

Some slips of the tongue and misspellings are priceless.

The nationality of the anti-dhimmis is interesting. The Netherlands (population 16 million) and Australia (population 20 million) are of a size that is small enough for the locals to notice that something is going badly wrong more quickly than in a country three or four times larger, like Germany, France or the UK. They are also of a size that an aggressive minority, conscious of being backed by the fervour of a billion enthusiasts who see themselves as being on the march, would regard as easy pickings. It is no coincidence that Denmark (population 5 million) is also a country that is notable for taking steps to curb its Muslim presence.
The larger countries of Europe face a kind of Balkanisation somewhere down the line, these countries face Lebanonisation in a slightly nearer future.

Thanks for recognizing John Howard. It seems he really does have his heart in the right place. However a federal election is due in Australia before end of 2007, and Howard's adversary has all the signs of a dhimmi par excellence.

Is that portrait of Hugh Fitzgerald an in-joke? He must be at least a hundred years old.

Posted by: Dane at December 15, 2006 8:08 PM

I kinda pictured Mr. Fitzgerald as elderly, with a neatly trimmed white beard, dressed in a seersucker suit and panama hat.

And where's his Mint Julep?
Enquiring minds want to know.

Congratulations to all the winners.

Hugh

I always had this nightmare that you had an Islamic style beard. How wonderful to see that it's not the case.

Thanks for ending the suspense, Robert. We always thought that this is how Hugh looked.

Posted by: Infidel Pride at December 15, 2006 8:25 PM

Rick Santorum should have been considered for the anti-dhimmi award especially after this farewell speach...

"....So I went out and gave two speeches about the importance of defining our enemy. If there has been a failing--obviously, for the last several weeks and months we have been talking about the failings of the administration with respect to the policies within Iraq--I would make the argument that the larger failing, not just of the administration but of the Members of Congress and leaders in this country, is that we have not had the courage to stand up and define the enemy as to who they are and study and understand them and explain to the American people who they are.

I defined the enemy back at the National Press Club speeches as Islamic fascism. I said that is the biggest issue of our time, this relentless and determined radical enemy that is not just a group of rag-tag people living in caves but, in fact, people with an ideology, a plan, and increasingly the resources to carry out that plan, as well as, increasingly, a bigger and larger presence throughout the Islamic world, these radical Islamic fascists...."

Somebody said last week that Jimmy's eligibility should be limited to the as-yet not instituted Career Dhimmi award.

But, me, I can't agree even with that. I am sickened by the idea of Jimmy winning anything less than a 15 minute horse whipping out in the pole barn.

* 33:21 ** 33:21 ** 33:21 ** 33:21 ** 33:21 ** 33:21 ** 33:21 ** 33:21 ** 33:21 ** 33:21 *

The award to Jacques, though, is most righteous. This is a man who deserves both Int'l Career Dhimmi award and an annual Int'l Dhimmi award for his decades-long work on the EAD, and his work done this year.

Jacques is that messed up, that craven, that harmful to the continued existence of Western Civilization.

Congrats to all...they well deserved it.

OMG! That is so cool! (Hopefully one can be forgiven for using valley-girl-speak at least once a year). I love how they included Geert Wilders sort of down in the corner there next to Howard (a bit of an inside joke for JW'ers and it's enthusiastic Dutch readers). And the portrait of Hugh! (I have to assume that this means that someone has actually SEEN Hugh?). The message that Cox and Forkum appear to be trying to convey with that is all the hard work that Hugh puts in "behind the scenes" as it were. Naturally Spencer gets a prominent spot. But where does one stick Hugh in such a scenario when he's not actually eligible to win an award? Why, prominently there behind the scenes!

Kudos to Cox and Forkum! The whole thing is so very cool! Would it be reasonable to send a framed (albeit cheaply framed, as funds are limited) copy of this to all the winners, along with a brief explanation of the award they have won?

The American Dhimmi of the Year 2006...JIMMY CARTER!!
..................

My Mom-in-law lives in Atlanta, and is actually a docent at the Carter Center. She has sent us most of Jimmy's books over the years--"Keeping Faith: Memories of a President", the very humble "Turning Point: A Candidate, A State and a Nation Come of Age", and "A Government as Good as its People" (this last quite alarming when you think about it).

We even have "Always a Reckoning", which is a book of poetry. Luckily, she seems to have missed sending us "Little Baby Snoogle-Fleejer", which is a book for children, illustrated by his daughter Amy. I am not making this up.

God help us, we probably have "Palestine: Peace not Apartheid" sitting under our Christmas tree as I write this. My Mom-in-law is an otherwise excellent person, but I have always been very disturbed by her naivite on this subject (she thinks Carter is a great peace-maker).

I can't think of anyone more deserving of this tribute than Jimmy Carter--right from his responce to the Iranian Hostage Crisis in 1979 he has well earned this award.

Posted by: gravenimage at December 15, 2006 11:06 PM

Thanks Marisol.

My God, Carter won by quite a landslide. He sure as hell got my vote.

As an Englishman, I use to be fiercely proud of the BBC and the likes of the Guardian newspaper as representatives of the best in the rational independent free thought tradition of Europe. No more: I am deeply ashamed of what I believe they have both become; cringe-making dhimmi channels of the islamification of my country. The amazing thing though is that this crescentade (I can’t use ‘crusade’), although well supported by Muslims here is actually led by non-Muslims who in a perversion of free-speech for all are leading the charge against free thought.

Posted by: ColinUK at December 16, 2006 12:42 AM

I’ve always pictured Hugh as a steely eyed, intense, leader of men.

Colin,

Congratulations for having cast off the shackles of the Liberal-Left intellectual straight-jacket. I too once saw the world through those myopic colors.

Both your country and your Continent are in deep trouble. While Britain's political establishment is busy debating the true meaning of "assimilation," demography continues its irrevocable march. and the French, Germans, Italians, Dutch, etc., are just as paralyzed as you are.

Terrible thing having both a populace and a culture that are uninterested in self-perpetuation.

The BNP is tainted by both racism and their inability to distinguish between assimilable immigrants (Indian Hindus, for example) and those that are a threat to the existing culture (now who could I be referring to???).

That leaves the Conservatives. But ultimately, they are as soft on the issue of Muslim penetration as the Left.

My advice....emigrate, particularly if you have daughters or grand-daughters. Come to America. An accident of geography - the existence of a great resovoir of Christian Latin immigrants inundating our southern border, has given us the luxury of time.

My guess is that native Europeans will be emigrating in droves over the next few decades.

Posted by: Cornelius at December 16, 2006 9:25 AM

Butterly,

Yep, the portrait of Hugh above does make him look a bit like a bookish academic.

Then again, what can we expect. He was after all reading Shakespeare fresh out of his mother's womb.

To a T.

A brevetted Kentucky colonel, but not the kind who gets his hands dirty with flour and fried chicken grease, or the balance of his mind disturbed with calculating the present value of franchise cash flows. No, for this brevetted colonel, it's the pillared porch, and the rocking chair, and that mint julep.

Posted by: Hugh at December 16, 2006 4:52 PM

Umm, Sarge...

That's why they lost in the first place (the press won'treport this for their obvious anti-american reasons)...

...the conservative voters withheld their votes (the voting turnout tells the tale, 2006 vs 2004), following through on their promise to do so if W didn't do anything about border security and the resultant illegal invasion. Unless that was dealt with harshly, they decided "then what's the point about anything else?".
That's the only reason they lost...had it been as the lefties claim (their message) then California would have a Dem governor-elect,(not that THAT was much of a decision,since it was Conan vs. Phil from accounting, lol), but we don't.
Arnie clobbered 'em all...

So you're not alone in your take, Sarge.
