What's in a Name?

Islamism is the violent political movement that seeks world domination and which justifies its goals on the religion of Islam, the idea of Jihad, and the imposition of Sharia law.

Word Power

Right now I'm away from my studio.
I did today's cartoon before leaving for a U.S. lecture tour.

I'm in America on my "Dry Bones Campaign to turn Z Street into the Grass Roots Zionist Movement that America Needs", and to explain my YIISA (Yale Initiative for the Interdisciplinary Study of Antisemitism) "Secret Codes" findings.

I plan to return home to Israel in time for for Shavuot (June 7).

According to the University of California, San Francisco

UCSF scientists speak out against airport full-body scans
"Four UCSF scientists sent a letter last April to the President’s Office of Science and Technology Policy, expressing concern about the health risks of full body scanners being implemented at U.S. airports. The co-signers were David Agard, PhD, John Sedat, PhD, (emeritus), and Robert Stroud, PhD, all professors of biochemistry and biophysics, and Marc Shuman, MD, professor of medicine (hematology/oncology)." -more

And then there's this report out of Vancouver Canada:

Full-body scanners are waste of money, Israeli expert says

"A leading Israeli airport security expert says the Canadian government has wasted millions of dollars to install "useless" imaging machines at airports across the country.

"I don't know why everybody is running to buy these expensive and useless machines. I can overcome the body scanners with enough explosives to bring down a Boeing 747," Rafi Sela told parliamentarians probing the state of aviation safety in Canada.

"That's why we haven't put them in our airport," Sela said, referring to Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion International Airport, which has some of the toughest security in the world."

Sela, former chief security officer of the Israel Airport Authority and a 30-year veteran in airport security and defence technology, helped design the security at Ben Gurion." -more
