Those crazy Arabs are at it again. I wrote about it once here.

Is there something simply endemic among the world Arab population that they always get imaginary symptoms from imaginary causes, yet blame them on Israel and the Jews? It’s like how they blame the “Occupation” in Gaza for their little civil war (it’s not big enough yet). First we’re at fault for being in our own homeland, then we aren’t in our own homeland, so we’re at fault. I wish they could just decide. Of course, now the US is to blame for their trying to kill themselves and smuggle in weapons. You got love ‘em, they’re such a comedy show.

Speaking of which, reading the op-eds can be amusing too. Every day brings a new one with a Left-wing variation of giving up land will somehow bring peace. Somehow this tweak or that tweak will fix what they still can’t comprehend is a fundamentally flawed idea from bottom up.

Moving on, we find out the real reason (or not) as to why the girl Ramon kissed is upset. Apparently she no longer finds him attractive - as if she really didn't flirt with him.

Anyway, lots more stuff happening today, come back later and maybe I’ll write about them.

The amazing Nadia Matar of Women in Green (you're clicking on her ad and sending a well deserved donations I hope), drove out of her village of Efrat this morning and was surprised to see just 20 meters from the road the scene below.

Hamas Hizbollah and PLO flags flying next to the entrance to Efrat, right on the Route 60 highway.



Anyway, on Tuesday Feb 6, there will be a protest against the useless fence. In fact you can see from the photo below how useless it is. This is how the Arabs regularly enter Northern Jerusalem, supposedly made safe by the fence.

Stop the Madness - Fight Arab terror properly.

Not my post, but it should have been. Caroline really tells it like it is.


Our World: Welcome to Palestine
Caroline Glick, THE JERUSALEM POST
Jan. 29, 2007


In the world of international diplomacy few issues receive more wall-to-wall support than the notion that it is essential to establish a Palestinian state. Leaders worldwide are so busy speaking of how essential it is for a State of Palestine to be founded that none of them seems to have noticed that it already exists.

This state was officially founded in the summer of 2005, when Israel removed its military forces and civilian population from the Gaza Strip and so established the first wholly independent Palestinian state in history. Israel's destruction of four Israeli communities in Northern Samaria and curtailment of its military operations in the area set the conditions for statehood in that area as well.

And so it is that as statesmen and activists worldwide loudly proclaim their commitment to establishing the sovereign State of Palestine, they miss the fact that Palestine exists. And it is a nightmare.

In the State of Palestine 88 percent of the public feels insecure. Perhaps the other 12 percent are members of the multitude of regular and irregular militias. For in the State of Palestine the ratio of police/militiamen/men-under-arms to civilians is higher than in any other country on earth.

In the State of Palestine, two-year-olds are killed and no one cares. Children are woken up in the middle of the night and murdered in front of their parents. Worshipers in mosques are gunned down by terrorists who attend competing mosques. And no one cares. No international human rights groups publish reports calling for an end to the slaughter. No UN body condemns anyone or sends a fact-finding mission to investigate the murders.

In the State of Palestine, women are stripped naked and forced to march in the streets to humiliate their husbands. Ambulances are stopped on the way to hospitals and wounded are shot in cold blood. Terrorists enter operating rooms in hospitals and unplug patients from life-support machines.

In the State of Palestine, people are kidnapped from their homes in broad daylight and in front of the television cameras. This is the case because the kidnappers themselves are cameramen. Indeed, their commanders often run television stations. And because terror commanders run television stations in the State of Palestine, it should not be surprising that they bomb the competition's television stations.

SO IT WAS that last week, terrorists from this group or that group bombed Al Arabiya television station in Gaza. And so it is that Hamas attacks Fatah radio announcers and closes down their radio station claiming that they use their microphones to incite murder. Because indeed, they are inciting murder. What would one expect for terrorists to do when placed in charge of a radio station?

And so it is that in the State of Palestine, journalists - whether members of terror groups or not - are part of the 88 percent of their public who are afraid. Sunday they protested outside the offices of one terror faction or another that controls the Palestinian Authority.

Speaking to The Jerusalem Post, reporter Ala Masharawi explained, "No one goes outside, no one moves without thinking twice. Gaza's streets have become terrible streets, especially at night. Gaza is a ghost town."

As the Post's Khaled Abu Toameh reported last week, in the State of Palestine, Christians are persecuted, robbed and beaten in what can only be viewed as a systematic campaign to end the Christian presence in places like Bethlehem. As Samir Qumsiyeh, owner of the Beit Sahur-based private Al-Mahd (Nativity) TV station lamented, "I believe that 15 years from now there will be no Christians left in Bethlehem. Then you will need a torch to find a Christian here."

MANY GOVERNMENT ministers and commentators seek strategic meaning in the strife in the State of Palestine. Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, for instance, goes on and on about the need to strengthen the "moderates" - that is, the Fatah terror group - over the "extremists" - that is, the Hamas terror group.

Helping her to propound this nonsense is PA Chairman and Fatah chief Mahmoud Abbas. Abbas and his men tell Westerners how pro-Western they are at the same time as they name streets and schools financed by US aid after Saddam Hussein and build sports facilities on the American taxpayers' tab in memory of terrorists who killed American soldiers in Iraq.

For the umpteenth time, on Sunday Fatah spokesmen in PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas's office blamed Iran and Syria for the escalating violence in Gaza and Judea and Samaria that has killed 29 people, including two children, in four days. "Iran and Syria are encouraging Hamas to continue fighting against Fatah," they alleged.

And yet, just last Thursday the Shin Bet arrested Omar Damra, a Fatah terrorist in Nablus. Damra is accused of manufacturing suicide bomb belts and attempting to smuggle them into Israel. He also stands accused of plotting to place explosive devices along roads in Judea and Samaria with the intention of blowing up IDF patrols.

Damra and his partner and fellow Fatah terrorist Mahmad Ramaha, who was arrested a month ago, were working under the instruction of Hizbullah - that is, under the direction of Iran. According to the Shin Bet, Hizbullah - that is, Iran - has taken over Fatah operations in Nablus. Since Israel's withdrawal from northern Samaria in August 2005, the Shin Bet has noted that, like Gaza, the Nablus area has become a mini-Afghanistan.

So not only are Hamas terrorists operating under Iranian and Syrian direction today, Fatah terrorists are as well. Yet this doesn't stop the US and Israel from pouring guns and money into the hands of Fatah terror chiefs. They fail to recognize that what you see is what you get.

These guns are not used to encourage moderation. These guns are used against Israelis and Palestinians alike in a turf battle between terror groups over money, guns and power that will never end. And it will never end because fighting and killing for money, guns and power is what terrorists do.

FOR THE past 13 years, since the Palestinian Authority was established in 1994, the contours of the State of Palestine have taken form in front of our eyes. Starting with Yasser Arafat's abrogation of the rule of law and murderous campaign against land dealers and journalists, with each passing year and with each move to further empower the PA, the situation has only grown worse. And yet, international pressure on Israel from Arabs, Europeans and the US to surrender more territory, curtail its authority, abrogate its claims to the areas set for Palestine, and finance the Fatah terror group have only grown in intensity.

And with each passing year, as the reality of Palestine has become clearer, the Israeli leadership's will to resist this pressure is increasingly eroded.

So it is that last week Defense Minister Amir Peretz announced that he supports negotiating with Hamas. Peretz laid out his "vision" for the reinstatement of the so-called peace process with the Palestinians, and stated that, to "empower" the Palestinians, he supports extending the ban on IDF operations from Gaza to Judea and Samaria. It should go without saying that such IDF operations are aimed at preventing massacres of Israeli civilians like the one that happened in Eilat Monday morning.

LIVNI, FOR her part, has become the international champion of Fatah. Gushing to an audience of international peace processors in Davos, Switzerland, last week, Livni said, "In order to achieve peace and in order to promote a process, we must stick to this vision of a two-state solution and examine what the best steps to take are."

Of course, neither Livni nor Peretz, who insist that Israel's most urgent priority is to establish Palestine, is willing to recognize that Palestine exists already. They refuse to acknowledge what we already know: Palestine is a terror state and an economic basket case fully funded by the international community. Indeed, over the past year since Hamas won the Palestinian elections, international assistance to the Palestinians has increased dramatically.

As Ibrahim Gambari, the UN under-secretary-general for political affairs, noted last Thursday, official Western aid to the Palestinians, not including Arab and Iranian support for Hamas and Fatah, increased by 10 percent in 2006 over 2005, and stood at $1.2 billion.

The Palestinians, who receive more aid per capita than any people on earth, are needy not because they lack funds. They are poor because they prefer poverty, violence and war to prosperity, peace and moderation. So it is that 57 percent of Palestinians support terror attacks against Israel.

The multitude of protesters worldwide who demand an end to the so-called "occupation" and the establishment of Palestine should be made aware of the fact that Palestine already exists. The hordes of political leaders mindlessly squawking about "visions" and "two-state solutions" should know: This is Palestine. Enter at your own risk.

While Eilat is on people's minds today, and Jameel is reporting that the government is planning to (temporarily?) evacuate the Jewish towns around Gaza as things get worse (gee, there's the solution), I realized that people probably don't quite comprehend the extent of what is going on down south.

After all, a Kassam fell the other day, big deal, just another one.

I must admit, sometimes even I don't quite comprehend how bad things are.

I came across the photo below (that was apparently originally from Maariv) on a French blog (don't ask).

The picture is from just over 2 years ago.

Looking at it you only begin to realize what the Arabs are doing to Israel and how much a failure Olmert, Sharon, Livni and the rest of the Left are, and how much damage they did and are doing to Israel.

It really puts things in perspective.

I listened to the President this evening. The first time he’s really spoken out about what is going on with him.

The problem with listening to him (aside from a few points) was that he simply made sense. Nothing he said about the police, the media, or how either of them works was extraordinary. We all know of stories of similar tactics, methods, and goals by each organization and its members.

Every word he said was quite believable, simply because we’ve heard it before and found it out to be true.

So where does it leave things?

I don’t know. He raised some serious questions about witnesses, histories, and facts in the case that weren’t mentioned before in the news.

Is he telling the truth, or is he lying?

Who knows, but those questions, points, and issues he’s raised certainly now need to be discussed and dealt with publicly and openly.

And I’m not just talking about what he did or didn’t do, but also how the police and media are running this investigation/witch hunt (whichever it turns out to be). We, the public, have certainly lost faith in those organizations for oh so many reasons.

If he is innocent, and as he implied, certain political figures are behind this, then something is more seriously wrong in Denmark than we previously imagined.

And if he’s guilty? Well, then he is one smooth psychopath for sure.

I honestly don't know which way would be worse for the State of Israel.




His speech can be read here.

The JPost has an article today about an internal dispute in a radical leftist organization. You see the North American Branch of Radical Leftwing rabbis decided to honor two members of another radical leftist organization who have been pursuing some IDF generals with class action suits for defending Israel.

For some reason unknown to me, the radical leftwing rabbis in Israel feel it is inappropriate to honor those two radical leftists.

One radical Leftist rabbi (from Israel I believe) said that Israel has a “mixed record on prosecuting human rights violations” (referring to Israel’s lack of prosecution of its soldiers for supposed war crimes?) so I guess he thinks it might be OK.

Another radical Leftist rabbi in Israel sounded very Sharon like when he said, “The very fact that we live here has an impact on how we see things”, a rather radical statement for a radical leftist.

I find the whole thing especially funny as the JP ran an editorial the other day by someone who went on an outing with these radical Leftwing rabbis.

What was funny was not how he reported as fact all the bubba-meisers the Arabs told him about the damage we Settlers do to the Arabs despite the videos he could have seen on JoeSettler showing the Arabs doing the damage themselves.

But hey, we expect that kind of gullibility from radical Leftists as they want to fool themselves.

What was amusing was despite the actual lack of seeing any settler incitement, he reports he saw Palestinian incitement and hate which left a bitter taste in his mouth. Yet despite that bitter taste, he’d still do it again.

That’s ideology for you. They call for his death to his face, but hey, he’ll help them anyway. Idiot. They're laughing at him too.

But if you really want to read a Left-on-Left article – this is it. And Jameel's analysis of the article here.

Lots of stuff happening in Israel, but I don't feel like writing about it.

It looks like Katzav is going to be forced to step down (at a minimum) - Yawn.

The Yesha Council discusses the outright lies in the Peace Now report - Yawn, we all know that already.

More Kassams fell near the Ashkelon Electric Facility - Yawn, nothing new there either.

Gabi Gazit cut off (on the radio) Yahalom's address at the Herziliya conference because he found it boring. Gabi Gazit is boring, so who cares.

This actually is interesting (to me at least).

Lots of controversy surrounding Intel's possible decision to cut and run with our tax dollars after closing their Jerusalem Fab. Nope, not interested in writing about that.

Arabs stone Jewish owned cars again. Nothing new there.

Nope nothing at all to write about today.

I’m trying to decide if Jameel is more like Ed McMahon or just one of those spam letters you get in your inbox informing you that you just won $10,000,000 (– now please supply us your credit card so we can start the payment process).

I got an excited phone call tonight from Jameel that I just won first place in some blog contest.

That’s nice.

Until his phone call I wasn’t actually aware I was a contestant in a blog contest, much less that I won. Go know.

Anyway, I’ll have to wait till tomorrow so he can tell me what it is he is talking about (and then I can tell you all).

I just hope I don’t need to hand over my credit card number so they can confirm my prize.

Based on the tail-end of a video of a fight between two neighbors in Hebron (one of them, the Jew mind you, has had her house shot at with bullets numerous times by her Arab neighbors), Tommy Lapid tries his best to malign the Hebron community by overtly implying that they are Nazis and Pogromists.

Unfortunately, poor Tommy must have gotten hit in the head back in Hungary, as he really doesn’t know how to properly compare events to the Holocaust.

For instance, is a fight between two neighbors, where both are spitting and cursing each other similar to the Holocaust, or is it more similar to the Holocaust when the Arabs burned down a shul this week along with the holy books inside and damaging the Sifrei Torah?

Or perhaps that a fire bomb was thrown by Arabs into the Jewish Community Square in Hebron? Does that bring back any memories for you Tommy?

Maybe the various stoning (by Arabs of course) of Jewish cars this week. Anything? Anything at all?

Unfortunately, Tommy wants to be a perfect European Gentleman. To him that means acting like a perfect European anti-Semite. And he has that act down pat.

See Cosmic-X for his take too.
