Shimshon 9

In the year 2040 on the Gregorian calendar, Gaza will be the battleground between Israel and Iran. France will have dissolved into a civil war due to ethnic tensions and Britain will have abandoned the European Union, which will have been supplanted by the European Federation of Nations, led by Germany. There are no longer any “bad guys.” There are only political interests. You are a marine – whichever marine you choose to be.

Barack Obama claims to be a supporter of Israel and a friend of the Jewish people. But many of the people who helped him in the course of his rise to political power, or whom he helped during his political ascent, are extremely anti-Israel, or even outright anti-Semitic. Let’s examine the views and careers of just a few of Obama’s anti-Israel and/or anti-Semitic benefactors and protégés:
Rashid Khalidi was the director of the PLO’s press agency WAFA from 1976 to 1982, at a time when the PLO was conducting a massacre of 37 Israeli civilians in a bus on Israel’s coastal road, the brutal murder of a four-year-old Israeli girl in Nahariya, and numerous other terrorist killings of Israeli civilians. The PLO was also waging a brutal war against the Lebanese Christian community during this period, and carried out numerous massacres of Lebanese Christians; the worst of these was the killing of about 500 people in the village of Damour. During this same period, Rashid’s wife Mona Khalidi was an English translator for WAFA. Rashid Khalidi is now an advocate of a “one state solution” for all of “Palestine” - meaning the destruction of Israel and its replacement by an Arab state. Asaf Romirowsky and Jonathan Calt Harris, in an article in the Washington Times on July 9, 2004, summarized Rashid Khalidi’s views about Israel this way: “[His] extremism comes out when he calls Israel an ‘apartheid system in creation’ and a ‘racist state’ that ‘brainwashed’ Americans do not understand. Jerusalem, with its Jewish majority since the 1880s, he deems ‘an Arab city’ whose control by Israeli ‘foreigners’ is ‘unacceptable.’ And so on.” Khalidi also accuses Israel of “ethnic cleansing.”

At least four students from a suburban St. Louis middle school face punishment for allegedly hitting Jewish classmates during what they called “Hit a Jew Day.”

The incident happened last week at Parkway West Middle School in Chesterfield.

District officials said Thursday they believe that fewer than 10 children of the district’s 35 Jewish students were struck.

It began with an unofficial “Spirit Week” among sixth-graders that started harmlessly enough with a “Hug a Friend Day.” Then there was “High Five Day.”

Soon, though, the days moved from friendly to silly. Next there was “Hit a Tall Person Day” and, finally, “Hit a Jew Day.” (AP)

The Jewish students should have come back with “punch the gentile Jew-hater in the face and knock their teeth out” day.

How about a Dry Run for a Floating Dirty Bomb?

Tehran is considering unconventional means of warfare to save its war machine from being struck down by Israel’s superior air defenses or air force and to maximize civilian casualties (DEBKA-Net).

Blaming Jews for economic woes is far from a new phenomenon, so it’s not surprising that the recent global financial crisis has unleashed a fresh round of Anti-Semitism, no less lethal than it’s been in the past.

Islamic terror groups - such as Hamas and Hezbollah - blamed Israel and the West for financial downturns worldwide.

“We see it as Allah’s punishment for the criminals US AND ITS WESTERN ALLIES,” Gaza-based Hamas terror chief Ismail Haniyeh said.

“Nothing is more unjust than occupying an Islamic state. Nothing is more unjust than keeping the Palestinian people under occupation for over 60 years,” he said.

Haniyeh, who may soon reunite with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah party, has never accepted Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state. He has never envisioned two states living side-by-side in peace.

Even a cursory glance at the history of the modern State of Israel reveals the Jews’ desire over the years to live in peace with their Arab neighbors.

But Islam wants no part of it.

While DEBKAfile reports that US intelligence’s amended estimate is, that Iran will be ready to build its first bomb just one month after the next US president is sworn in, the IAEA chief says that Tehran yet to obtain necessary raw unenriched uranium to build even single nuclear weapon. Meanwhile another round of talks amongst UN Security Council members on the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program fails to yield results.

Who should we believe? The IAEA Chief or the US Intelligence?

Anti-semitism on the web 2.0

It was the massacre killing seven youths and one adult that turned David into an internet fighter. In March a radical Palestinian shot eight students of a Yeshiva, a Jewish religious school. Just a little later Ahmad from Saudi-Arabia founded a group on the Internet platform Facebook that praised the murderer Alaa Abu Dhaim as a martyr – and soon had 300 members. For David who had been a member of Facebook for years already this was the “key moment” that motivated him to go public to a greater extent and attempt to give a similarly clear response in turn. Together with some colleagues he founded the internet site “Jewish Internet Defense Force (JIDF)”, as a reminder of the Israeli armed forces IDF, the “Israeli Defense Force”. The logo of the JIDF is as bold as the name: a fighter jet in front of a blue-white Israeli flag with a Magen David.

It’s the aim of the site to counteract online anti-Semitism and anti-Israeli tirades of hatred on Web 2.0– on popular social networks like Facebook, Wikipedia or YouTube. The price of his job : after several threats on his life David does not wish to expose more of himself than his first name. For years he and his colleagues have observed the “increasing anti-Semitism” and have started different political campaigns – now they are planning to gather them under the publicity effective umbrella of the JIDF.

The Islamic Jihad movement called on Friday for Palestinians to take to the streets in solidarity with the Arabs of Akko and Arabs in Israel, in general, “due to the racist aggression and brutality of the occupation and the bullying of the settlers.”

Every Israeli Arab who is caught, should be deprived of their Israeli citizenship, all of his pension, health care, etc. should be stopped and then they should be exiled from Israel into Gaza. Let them have a better live under Hamas rule!

I already reported of the use of toilet water against rioters then I said it’s probably just an other libel, but now Israel has unveiled its latest device to control protests on the West Bank and it is causing quite a stink, literally.

“You can drink it if you want to. It’s a very good protein drink.” (Yumy, Yumy)

Of course the PalArab media is complaining about the new Skunk Spray:

Israel has always used disproportionate force in the occupied Palestinian territories

But isn’t it typical that when the Israelis come upon a non lethal way to control riots this place complains about it? Perhaps the Israelis should go back to REAL bullets.

As Israel National News reports, the desperately impoverished Palestinians — who are dying of starvation but somehow can afford computers and high-speed Internet connections — have taken the jihad online

A riot has broken out in the Israeli city of Acre after an Arab man was assaulted for driving his car during Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement. (Sky News)

Cars and shops were damaged as Jews and Arabs clashed and police used force to disperse a crowd of several hundred people.

1. Update: The clashes resume this evening after the end of Yom Kippur.

2. Update: Hospitals prepare for large numbers of wounded in Acre violence (Haaretz)

An Israel Air Force airman captured in Lebanon in 1986 escaped two years later but probably died while trying to reach Israel on foot, the Hezbollah guerrilla group said in a report published by Maariv, an Israeli daily, on Wednesday.

The excuses get lamer and lamer as time goes by. We can only surmise that Arad was murdered. either in Lebanon or Iran. His body was probably hidden by his captors, who know they are in violation of Islamic law and international laws by killing their prisoner and simply don`t want to face justice.

However, what we see these days is a new form of Islamic law, where live prisoners have their heads cut off in front of movie cameras. We`re told that it`s western or American something or other that has forced them to do this, and it`s not really their fault for butchering people on camera. And, of course, they keep telling us that this is what they want to do to the entire world.

After Syria moved tank units up to the Lebanese Beqaa Valley border Tuesday, Oct. 7, Israel raised the alert level for Yom Kippur on its borders with Syria and Lebanon and placed its Air Force and emergency first aid teams on standby in the event of Syrian or coordinated Syrian-Hizballah attacks.

Israeli embassies and Jewish institutions worldwide were also placed on high terror alert. Hizballah’s leader Hassan Nasrallah said recently that his promised retaliation for the death of Imad Mughniyeh “is coming.” There is no backing off from this decision or from carrying out the “big surprise” against the enemy, he said.

Damascus and the Lebanese Hizballah are closely aligned.

DEBKAfile’s military sources report that the Syrian tank concentration on the Lebanese border Tuesday was Damascus’ second military movement against its neighbor; three weeks ago, Syrian commando units took up positions on the North Lebanese border. In the first deployment, their tanks and armored vehicles were kept some 3-10 km to the rear of frontline commando forces. In the second, much closer to the Israeli border, armor and tanks have been deployed at the front.

These military movements sent Israeli defense minister Ehud Barak on an unannounced trip north Tuesday to check the state of readiness of the IDF’s disposition on the Syrian and Lebanese borders. He cautioned the outpost commanders to exercise maximum vigilance in the coming days. The border seems quiet, he said, but commanders must take care never to permit a repeat of the Yom Kippur War exactly 35 years ago when Israel was caught napping by a Syrian invasion.

Our sources report that Washington, Jerusalem and Beirut are taking into account the possibility of Damascus seizing the moment of the total shutdown in Israel for 25 hours from Wednesday afternoon, Oct. 8, to Thursday night, Oct. 9, for Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) to launch its military forces against northern Lebanon or the Golan.

The West Bank was sealed off and Israel’s border terminals with Jordan and Egypt closed from early Wednesday, Oct. 8.

I hope that this time Israel is ready…

A new military group calling themselves the Hizbullah Brigades will begin operating in the Palestinian areas as a force against occupation, according to a Saturday statement.

The group will be made up of fighters from several other resistance factions that the statement accuses of “abandoning resistance.” Their stated aims are to “fight the enemies of Islam,” in the interests of the Palestinian national project.

“We are a new Islamic Sunni group which has nothing to do with the political process,” said the statement, “but we will not contradict with public Palestinian interests.”

With regards to the group’s ties with Hizbullah in Lebanon, the statement asserted that the group follows Hizbullah’s steps in resistance, but has no ties with the Lebanese Hizbullah. “All we have in common is Islam and our admiration of their resistance methods,” the statement explained.

The group stressed in their statement that they would not be involved in the ongoing inter-Palestinian rivalry. They also pledged to adopt the case of political prisoners, detained by factions in the West Bank and Gaza as one of their top priorities.

The statement concluded with a slogan used by Lebanese Hizbullah; “death to Israel, and death to the United States.” (Maan News)

Incredible that such a Terrorist group just starts operating without any oposition from the Palestinian Authority.

Ynet News reported that US and Egyptian soldiers paired up in recent weeks in a project to uncover Palestinian weapons’ smuggling tunnels; 42 tunnels discovered in less than a month.

But how many tunnel are there between Gaza and Egypt?

The Daily Telegraph reports that on some estimates there are now up to 500 passageways across to Egypt, mostly clustered around the town of Rafah, which straddles the border.

So lets do the maths:

42:500 = 8.4% - Oops!

That’s less than 10%. That doesn’t sound like American technology is stopping Hamas? No wonder the flow of weapons into Gaza doesn’t stop.
