“How long did it take the Government to hold a discussion of the release of 200 terrorists, including two who caused the murder of Israelis? No more than three minutes All this without having an depth discussion and without hearing the positions of the security arms.
The discussion took place at the start of the Government meeting, and those who arrived late. did not participate in the vote. Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, who intended to explain at the meeting why she agreed to the move, was not given the floor on the matter and her statement on the matter was delivered by her spokesperson to the press. Moreover, the Shabbak and IDF confirm that they were not even approached on the matter and instead were advised of the matter as a finalized fact.” (Israel Hayom)
A Hamas official on Sunday said a group of Fatah men returned by Israel to the Gaza Strip were immediately detained by the Palestinian militant group’s security forces.
Further it is reported that Abbas gave the order to send them back:
Israel sent the group back on Sunday after Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Salam Fayyad withdrew an earlier request for Defense Minister Ehud Barak to allow the Gazans entry to Israel and then to transfer them to the West Bank.
Can anyone out there explain to me why the PA refused to allow these guys into the West Bank? They must realize that Hamas is going to eliminate them.
Palestinian children on annual vacation can choose between Hamas or Islamic Jihad summer camps, both of which boast militia-style training, Koran classes, lessons on political prisoners (YnetNews).
This is no way to build a civil society. Hamas is producing an evil generation of hate and war.
Keep in mind that summer camps run by Fatah back in 2000 were also about military training and hate education; important to remind leaders that bad as Hamas and Islamic Jihad are, Fatah is not a good alternative. The fruits of Oslo; bringing terrorist groups which controlled and incited the Palestinian population.
Following a child on a mission to kill Jews:
I this last Video it is interesting to see the viewer comments on YouTube.
But maybe something is happening in the World, at least the Norway wants to freeze the aid to the PA after they learned that the budget was used to glorify terrorism and terrorists, and to promote hatred and violence (Arutz 7).
And last not least the following Video from the PA TV that was board casted on a daily basis…
The following is the text of the hate video:
“My enemy. Oh, my enemy.
Stop your crimes.
Treaty breaker! Treacherous!…
If you pull out my eyes,
My heart will see. (x2)
If you cut off my hands,
My chest is knives and swords.
My enemy! Oh imperialism!
This homeland is ours. (x2)
This land will be tilled
only by our hoes. (x2)
Whenever the tension rises,
Whenever this land weeps, (x2)
the flower will return
to grow in our house.
My enemy. Oh, my enemy.
Stop your crimes.
Treaty breaker! Treacherous!…
My enemy! Oh snake!
Around the land, you are coiled. (x2)
We, noble, courageous,
on the day of ruin [battle], shall stand.
You have no choice, Oh enemy,
but to leave my country.
And my children will return.
Hamas militias in the Gaza Strip has banned three major Palestinian dailies.
The Palestinian Journalists Union in the West Bank said Hamas militias in Gaza prevented the three newspapers, al-Quds, al-Ayyam and al-Hayat
al-Jadida, from being distributed after they arrived in the besieged Strip.
Hamas gangs stormed on Saturday the offices of WAFA news Agency in Gaza, stole computers and files and destroyed all of its equipment and furniture. (WAFA)
According to the PA papers, the Israeli-Jerusalem rat is:
1. Immune to rat poison
2. Aggressive and larger than usual
3. Unafraid of cats and able to scare them away
4. Highly fertile, with females giving birth to 140 young rats a year, four times the normal average
5. Highly selective, as Jewish residents of Jerusalem apparently are not affected by these rats.
“[Israeli] settlers have been bringing chests filled with rats and releasing them in the Old City’s [Arab] neighborhoods; they breed and have become a major curse… the [Arab] residents’ efforts to counter this infestation have failed, especially since cats run away from these rats because of their size and ferocity… All of the conventional efforts to kill them have not succeeded, because they seem to be immune to poison and they breed in the sewers. It is known that this female rat gives birth seven times a year, each time giving birth to 20 babies, which compels Jerusalem’s [Arabs] today to face the dangers of settlement and the infestation of rats…” (Arutz 7)
Palestinian Authority’s security services on Monday morning arrested more than 54 Hamas’ affiliates in Nablus in the northern West Bank, in what is believed to be the biggest apprehension campaign since Hamas took over the Gaza Strip. (Maan News)
Haaretz is reporting that the Palestinian Authority is considering cutting off its diplomatic contacts with Israel and unilaterally declaring statehood.
Unilateral declaration of independence by the PA (or better yet by Hamas!) would have the following automatic effects:
1. Legally validates annexation to Israel of all territory IDF currently holds.
2. Nullifies all agreements Israel has with PA under Oslo, UN and Road map.
3. Frees Israel of any obligation, legal or moral, to allow transit across or over its territory of food and medicine to Gaza and any W. Bank “state”.
4. Shuts off all Israeli supplied water and electricity to Gaza and W. Bank.
5. Shuts off access to Israeli airports and harbors to the “PA state”, which has none of its own.
6. Ends travel documents of PA “citizens” in Jerusalem, turning them into enemy aliens subject to deportation. Ends “VIP” privileges of PA bigshots.
7. Permenently shuts off all diplomatic contact and financial aid from the US, per previous directives from Congress. EU/UN out of the picture.
Terrorist gangs value Obama so much they are deploying their forces to protect the visiting Obama from others in their Terrorist Land. I wonder what they see or know about Obama that they would call out all their forces to protect him.
This is a difficult task, given that there are so many cells within their own Terrorist organizations that they cannot trust each other. Every Islamist is his very own gang of one - and IF he or she chooses, he or she can act on his own.
To wit today’s (July 22) Bulldozer Terrorist copycat smashing buses and cars, next to Obama’s hotel, the King David (injuring at least 24 including one with a leg amputated) - the Bulldozer Terrorist of July 2nd, killing 2 women and a grandfather on the street below CNN’s studios (injuring 76) - the Massacre at the entrance to Jerusalem, murdering 8 teenage students at Mercaz Harav Yeshiva. All were “lone Terrorists on a rampage”. All were Muslim Arabs from Arab villages around Jerusalem.
96% of those detained had been beaten, and 94% of them were subjected to sleep deprivation, and 89% were subjected to the spectre of sleep deprivation and food and drink together, and 70% were subjected to extreme cold or heat. (Aljazeera.net)
This happens in Palestinian Prisons in the Gaza Strip and in the West Bank. Human rights organizations confirmed that Palestinian prisons are turned into centres of torture (hrw.org). I wonder if the UN and all those Human Right organizations are going to take action…
It is universally reported that Hamas and Fatah have been engaged in violence and have been massing arms in preparation for battle with each other. This is expected by most analysts to flare into a civil war.
Of course it is possible that this is true, but there is little truth reported about the Palestinians, so it is prudent to be skeptical. Abbas has been following his long-time mentor (Arafat) in a Fatah good cop / Hamas bad cop ruse, which has succeeded in frightening the US, Europe and even Israel to fund, arm and train Fatah’s terrorist forces, lest Hamas gain the upper hand. It has been reported about Arafat that he okayed the murder of Palestinians purely for propaganda benefits (for the source, see this absolute must-read on Arafat).
Some of the alleged Hamas-Fatah skirmishes have been reminiscent of the obviously fraud of Moussa Arafat’s bodyguards in pretending to protect him. Ten of his bodyguards fired guns for forty minutes against his assassins and did not hit a single person. Although Moussa Arafat was shot dead when his bodyguards ran out of ammunition, none of them were subsequently harmed. Of course all this had occurred a stone’s throw from Abbas’ office, but none of the ubiquitous Palestinian security forces seemed aware of the battle.
The attack on Haniyeh’s convoy similarly smells fishy. His convoy came under attack, one of his cars was torched, gunfire was exchanged, yet no one was injured.
It is completely possible that this is all a ruse. Certainly it has been very successful for Abbas, gaining him enormous quantities of money and arms from those he demonizes with the media he controls.
Of course the upshot of Abbas’ recent threats to fire the entire Hamas-led cabinet has been to form a unity government in the end. Abbas has promised to ban Hamas numerous times. Most ludicrously, he promised to ban Hamas’ participation in the elections in which Hamas won a landslide. Later when pressed by the US to implement his commitment, he promised to ban Hamas just after the election.
A PA court in Hevron sentenced a 25-year-old man to death Monday for giving Israel information that led to the elimination of four terrorists. (Arutz Sheva)
When will Israel wake up and admit that it has executed grave errors in judgement as it continues to negotiate with known and sworn enemies of Israel and the Jewish People?!
