Flotilla: The Hounds Of Hell Hang Ten

 

June 30, 2011

 

It's about to happen again...like the yearly flu bug, hordes of hateful pests (1,000 pro-Palestinian activists hailing from 22 countries, to be exact) are set to hop on barges to break a legal blockade of Gaza. 

 

An innocent, freedom-loving lot they're not. They hail from leftist, communist-fawning enclaves...seeking to aid their fellow enemies of the Jewish State, while most of the world sits by idly yawning and swatting at this evil ilk as though they were gadflies.

 

Some cold, hard facts about the "Freedom Flotilla II – Stay Human" (partial list):

The blockade on Gaza after the Hamas takeover in June 2007, was a result of the continual barrage of rockets targeting Israeli civilians and the kidnapping of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit...AND is completely legal. A major fact conveniently left out by the major media. 

 

This is a provocation of grand scale...and any sane individual...or nation...would do whatever Israel subsequently does, in order to protect its citizens.

 

Something we should vociferously defend...if we stand on the side of truth and liberty...

 

Shalom through strength...

 

 

*The ISM is a high profile, anti-Israel group. ISM takes a 3-pronged approach against Israel. 1) It organizes “non-violent” resistance in the Territories to obstruct Israel's counter-terrorism measures. 2) It publicizes Israel’s misdeeds in the world media. 3) It arranges speaking tours, lectures and events on campuses and in communities across America. It's a propaganda tool for the Palestinians in order to dramatize the "brutality" and "illegality" of Israel’s origin, "occupation" and counter-terrorism policies.

Shin Bet Proves: Their Neighbor IS The Terrorist Next Door

 

June 28, 2011

 

The 5th Anniversary of Gilad Shalit's kidnapping by the Hamas terror group in June 2006, has just passed. And Hamas (the majority of the 'Palestinian' government voted so by their people), and their ilk, has no intention of changing their strategy...more kidnappings and NO release of Shalit. 

 

How 'neighborly' of those vying to be Israel's best-buds next-door.

 

Israel is not a sitting duck...Shin Bet (in English, Israel Security Agency [ISA]) is, as always, on the job. They have arrested 2 dozen Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) operatives operating terrorist cells near Jerusalem. 

 

They (PFLP) were planning on kidnapping IDF soldiers, shootings and bombings. I'm sorry, did I miss a Welcome Wagon memo?

 

A little background on the terror group...

 

The PFLP was established on December 11, 1967, 6 months after the Six Day War. PFLP’s founder was George Habash, a socialist who was previously a member of the group “Oppose to Political Settlement with Israel.” Habash viewed the destruction of Israel (which he referred to as the “liberation of Palestine") as an vital part of the world Communist revolution. PFLP joined the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), in 1968, and quickly became its second-largest faction (following Yasser Arafat's Fatah faction); but unlike Fatah, which sought support from Arab nations, PFLP looked to Russia and China for assistance.

 

Now we understand China and Russia throwing their support for a 'Palestinian' State...

 

This bust by Shin Bet again demonstrates that those who claim a desire to be a friendly next-door neighbor to the Jewish State, are in fact, a hostile foe chomping at the bit for Israel's demise. And they will join any similar entity, in order to accomplish their goal: Making Israel a Jew-Free Muslim enclave...from which Islam's intolerance and hatred can emanate throughout the world.

 

Just more of the stuff that a 'Palestinian' State is made of.

 

Shalom through strength...

Mr. Oz On Israel: Wizard Of Fiction, Not Possessor Of Facts

 

June 23, 2011

 

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague."  --Marcus Tullius Cicero

 

Peace...a most often elusive concept. Merriam-Webster defines 'peace' as a state of tranquility or quiet; freedom from civil disturbance; a state of security or order within a community. This is a concept and state of being that Israel and the Jewish people have desired for centuries. 

 

But to this day...it remains elusive. And this is thanks in part to a self-serving, and in some cases a hateful lot found globally. But the most loathsome of these are the enemies within the Jewish State.

 

One of these organized groups is known as Israel's Peace Now. A group of clueless misinformed (and disinformed) individuals who either out of ignorance of how the world works...or out of a deep-seated disdain for their own countrymen...use their resources and influence to pressure Israel to literally surrender to its enemies. 

 

I consider such individuals, traitors...

 

One of these 'peace' activists is Amos Oz, one of Israel’s leading writers, novelists, social critics, and an active member in the Israeli peace movement, concluded, in a NY Times op-ed that "the only way for Israel to edge out Hamas would be to quickly reach an agreement with the Palestinians on the establishment of an independent state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip as defined by the 1967 borders, with its capital in East Jerusalem"...and that Israel "has to sign a peace agreement with President Mahmoud Abbas and his Fatah government in the West Bank...and by doing so, reduce the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to a conflict between Israel and the Gaza Strip."

 

My question to this 'learned' man: Was it dark living under that rock all those years?

 

Now, if Mr. Oz is indeed as intelligent as one might assume...upon what is he drawing his conclusions and formulating his solution for peace? It appears there is a vacuum of knowledge in the area of the 'Palestinians' actions towards innocent Israeli civilians. And the charters and vows made and remaining untouched, that call for the elimination of the Jewish State. 

 

So what info or, pray tell, what Intel is Mr. Oz privy to that causes him to insist upon the Israelis giving up more of their land? 

 

How can such a gifted man BE so gosh darn dense? The facts are there for a feeble-minded man to see...how is it that such a clever man is unable to discern truth from fiction?

 

The empirical evidence sides with PM Bibi Netanyahu and those who desire peace and freedom. That is the unadulterated truth.

 

Mr. Oz insists upon a contract between Israel and half the PA. But in order to have an agreement between two parties, each party must agree the other has a right to exist. Israel agrees...the 'Palestinians' do not. Without that, an agreement of any kind is futile.

 

Oh, by the way...the stated 'intelligent' attribute I gave Mr. Oz is dubious...Oz has been known to show support for terrorist mastermind Marwan Barghouti, to whom he gave a copy of his book "A Tale of Love and Darkness" accompanied by a friendly message, according to Channel 2 (Israel). Oz wrote a personal note conveying hope that Barghouti, who is serving multiple life sentences in jail for several murders, will be released soon. Barghouti is serving 5 life sentences for murdering Israeli women and children. 

 

I would ordinarily say, "What a putrid putz" here, but I'm being cordial...

 

With all due respect to Mr. Oz...he should stick to fiction. It's his obvious forte and where his mind is most assuredly at peace.

 

Shalom through strength...

Unilateral 'Palestinian' State: A Slippery Slope For Friends

 

June 17, 2011

 

The summer has unofficially begun...but there are those longing for September already. It's not retailers looking for pre-holiday sales. But rather a ginormous anti-Israel organization looking to make a move that will endanger every sovereign nation on earth...

 

This September the PA (Palestinian Authority), backed by the Arab League and more than a hundred other countries, will try to have 'Palestine' declared as a state based on the '1967 borders'.

 

The Jerusalem Center For Public Affairs (JCPA) published an open letter to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon (and signed by a plethora of international jurists and lawyers), which states several reasons a unilateral declaration would be illegal. Here are a few of those points:

 

1. The legal basis for the establishment of the State of Israel was the resolution unanimously adopted by the League of Nations in 1922, affirming the establishment of a national home for the Jewish People in the historical area of the Land of Israel. This included the areas of Judea and Samaria and Jerusalem, and close Jewish settlement throughout. This was subsequently affirmed by both houses of the U.S. Congress.


2. Article 80 of the UN Charter determines the continued validity of the rights granted to all states or peoples, or already existing international instruments (including those adopted by the League of Nations). Accordingly, the above-noted League resolution remains valid, and the 650,000 Jews presently resident in the areas of Judea, Samaria and eastern Jerusalem reside there legitimately.


3. "The 1967 borders" do not exist, and have never existed. The 1949 Armistice Agreements entered into by Israel and its Arab neighbors, establishing the Armistice Demarcation Lines, clearly stated that these lines “are without prejudice to future territorial settlements or boundary lines or to claims of either Party relating thereto.” Accordingly, they cannot be accepted or declared to be the international boundaries of a Palestinian state.


4. UN Security Council Resolutions 242 (1967) and 338 (1973) called upon the parties to achieve a just and lasting peace in the Middle East and specifically stressed the need to negotiate in order to achieve “secure and recognized boundaries.”

 

These are critical facts. NOT merely for the Jewish State, but for all members states of the UN.

 

If a sovereign nation is robbed of its land, by other member states, who can say what nation will be next? If the UN can choose to selectively violate its own charter and resolutions, then what nation is safe?

 

It's time for the 'Battle of the Bullies' against Israel to end (funny that those who are for a ban on bullies, have no problem bullying the tiny Jewish nation). 

 

Israel is a sovereign nation who has compromised beyond reason and surrendered more than its so-called peace partners. It's time for the PA to put up or shut up. It's time for Israel's 'allies', like the US...to cease the arm-twisting to please Muslim nations. Who, by the way, not only loathe the Jewish State...but would love to see us go POOF!

 

The American people overwhelmingly support Israel...this administration does not. Here's a madcap concept: How about the elected actually represent the electorate?

 

In the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson: "The only reward of virtue is virtue; the only way to have a friend is to be one."

 

Let's be one, again, to Israel...

 

Shalom through strength...

Coming Back To Bite Barry In His Audacious Tukis

 

June 14, 2011

 

The thing that bothers me the most about narcissists is, it's always about them. They are the center of importance, the center of all situations, the center of all discussions. The center of the universe, if possible. It's a god-complex. 

 

THAT can be a problem when attempting to mediate a conflict. A narcissist wants the first word. The last word. And EVERY word in-between. 

 

I believe the recent ultimatum that President Obama gave to the Israeli PM Binyamin 'Bibi' Netanyahu concerning the 1967 armistice lines, is stunningly reminiscent of a scene from Malice (1993), in which the Dr., played by Alec Baldwin, revealed his god-complex to the courtroom:

 

"I have an M.D. from Harvard, I am board certified in cardio-thoracic medicine and trauma surgery, I have been awarded citations from seven different medical boards in New England, and I am never, ever sick at sea.

"So I ask you; when someone goes into that chapel and they fall on their knees and they pray to God that their wife doesn’t miscarry or that their daughter doesn’t bleed to death or that their mother doesn’t suffer acute neural trauma from postoperative shock, who do you think they’re praying to?

 

"Now, go ahead and read your Bible.. and go to your church, and, with any luck, you might win the annual raffle — but if you’re looking for God, he was in operating room number two on November 17, and he doesn’t like to be second guessed.

 

"You ask me if I have a God complex. Let me tell you something: I am God."

 

Now, Omnipotent Obama's disdain for Bibi and the Jewish State has been apparent numerous times since his arrival in the Oval Office. His recent 'tolerance' of the Israeli PM was a painful task for Obama (as could be seen on his visage), during Bibi's recent visit to Washington. But Obama's desire to be re-elected overrode his hatred long enough to choke up a few disingenuous pro-Israel expressions at AIPAC...and keep his lips pursed, as Bibi instructed him in front of world cameras.

 

But alas...Barry's silence has met a timely demise...

 

I do believe Barry's favorite word is coming back to bite him in his audacious tukis. When he insisted that peace talks must include Israel's agreement to return to 1967 lines, Bibi said: "Thanks for the advice, but no thanks."

 

Barry became perturbed...

 

Imagine the audacity of a Jewish leader refusing to acquiesce to Barry's demands upon an autonomous nation? The audacity of an Israeli insisting Barry's plan is unacceptable and ineffectual? 

 

According to Ha'aretz, Washington is pressuring Israel to comply with its proposal to resume Israeli-Palestinian peace talks on the basis of Obama's May 19 speech...or 1967 lines. But Bibi is frustrating Obama because he refuses to do so. David Hale, temporarily replacing George Mitchell (the U.S. special envoy) has said, "Instead of helping us, he's (Bibi) making it harder for us."

 

Oh, I see...Bibi refusing to put his nation in utter peril, by returning to indefensible borders, is frustrating for Barry...but not the interminable rocket attacks upon innocent Israeli citizens, or the daily attempts by 'Palestinian' suicide bombers...no problem with any of that...

 

Washington's exasperation began with Netanyahu's trip to Washington last month, when he publicly differed with Obama (which took righteous chutzpah) and then declined to support the president's outline for talks, in an address to Congress. 

 

Well, Mr. President...buck up and no hissy fits...because there's a boatload of frustration coming your way. That's what happens when you do exactly what you stated was not our place to do: Interfere in other countries affairs.

 

So giving Israel an ultimatum isn't covered under that? Okee Dokee...

 

Well, 1967 lines are undoable, Barry. You can bully the spineless, the politically correct and even those plagued with white guilt. But you will continue to be unsuccessful to intimidate the nation who has been our stalwart ally and faithful friend in the Middle East since 1948...and those who are the true owners of the Holy Land...

 

...and they DON'T don keffiyehs.

 

Shalom through strength...

Jerusalem: Time To Declare Its Eternality

 

June 9, 2011

 

"For three thousand years, Jerusalem has been the center of Jewish hope and longing. No other city has played such a dominant role in the history, culture, religion and consciousness of a people as has Jerusalem in the life of Jewry and Judaism. Throughout centuries of exile, Jerusalem remained alive in the hearts of Jews everywhere as the focal point of Jewish history, the symbol of ancient glory, spiritual fulfillment and modern renewal. This heart and soul of the Jewish people engenders the thought that if you want one simple word to symbolize all of Jewish history, that word would be 'Jerusalem.'"  — Teddy Kollek, Jerusalem, (DC: Washington Institute For Near East Policy, 1990), pp. 19-20.

 

In 1783, the US Congress decided to create a new capital apart from any state, and in 1787 the framers of the Constitution provided for a capital district. Washington D.C. became the new capital on July 16, 1790. By our nation's choice...

 

Under the reign of Edward the Confessor (1042-1066), London became the capital of England. By that nation's choice...

 

On Sept. 20, 1870, the Italian army marched into the city, and on July 2, 1871, Victor Emmanuel himself entered Rome, from that time the capital of the kingdom of Italy. By that nation's choice...

 

There are 195 Independent Countries on earth that have chosen their own capital city/cities. No other country has dictated or imposed a capital city, against their will. They have done so autonomously. All except one nation...

 

The Jewish State of Israel.

 

Though Israel had its rebirth in 1948, it was not until 1980 that the Knesset passed a Basic Law, reinforcing the fact that Jerusalem was Israel's capital. A reasonable sounding decree. But not to the world community...it was followed up by a UN Security Council Resolution (478), which declared the law a violation of international law, and stated that the Council will not recognize this law. 

 

The resolution passed unanimously, 14 to none, with 1 abstention: The US. A craven position for our nation to take...but no surprise when you realize it was done under Jimmy Dhimmi Carter...

 

Then in 1995, the 104th Congress passed the Jerusalem Embassy Act...which a majority of Americans supported. The Act's purpose was to initiate the funding for the relocation of the US Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, no later than May 31, 1999. Sadly, presidents, Clinton, Bush (W) and Obama lack/lacked the spine to follow through. 

 

A shandeh un a charpeh (A shame and a disgrace) upon our nation. 

 

Now a well-meaning Congress has again attempted to bring forth a new Act (Jerusalem Embassy and Recognition Act of 2011) H.R.1006. It states that it is U.S. policy: (1) to recognize Jerusalem as the undivided capital of the State of Israel; and (2) that the U.S. Embassy in Israel should be established in Jerusalem not later than January 1, 2013.

 

Sadly, this is facing intractable opposition from Obama.

 

Here are the critical questions: What will it take for a US president to garner the testicular fortitude to allow the Jewish State, a sovereign nation, to declare their own capital? What leader will stand up (on our behalf) and be the loyal friend we insist we are, by moving our embassy to the eternal city?

 

Because to continue to do nothing to aid our friends in their proclamation of sovereignty...will be a stain upon our collective character, as leaders of the free world, interminably.

 

Shalom through strength...

Killing Kafir Kiddies: Islam Says No Prob

 

June 2, 2011

 

"Children are the living messages we send to a time 

we will not see." -- John W. Whitehead

 

 

Children are a precious commodity. They are indeed our future...and in a Judeo Christian society...we understand that enough to make an effort to protect them from harm.

 

But do those in Muslim society...according to the Quran...hold children to the same standard of value? 

 

Well, based upon the empirical evidence: No!

 

According to the founder of Islam, Muhammed, children are property to be used for pleasure (he married a 6 yr old girl and consummated the marriage when she was age 9), or as a weapon (suicide-bombers) against the kafir (unbelievers). 

 

But, as the late PM of Israel, Golda Meir (Israeli Founder and Prime Minister 1898-1978), once said: "We will have peace with the Arabs when they love their children more than they hate us."

 

They not only hate their children, but they hate kiddies of the kafir. The following is from The Book of Jihad and Expedition:

 

     Book 019, Number 4321:

It is reported on the authority of Sa'b b. Jaththama that the Prophet of Allah (may peace be upon him), when asked about the women and children of the polytheists being killed during the night raid, said: They are from them.

     Book 019, Number 4322:

It is narrated by Sa'b b. Jaththama that he said (to the Holy Prophet): Messenger of Allah, we kill the children of the polytheists during the night raids. He said: They are from them.

     Book 019, Number 4323:

Sa'b b. Jaththama has narrated that the Prophet (may peace be upon him) asked: What about the children of polytheists killed by the cavalry during the night raid? He said: They are from them.

Three times: "They are from them"...children of the kafir are worthless. How charming...

 

In every attack today, always targeting civilians...with children in the midst...followers of Muhammed seek, NOT peace but violence. And their intent is NOT to have discourse, but to destroy all those who do not worship Allah and his prophet (hellfire be upon him).

 

The passages above refer to events hundreds of years ago. But Muhammed would be thrilled to know that his disciples are following carefully in his gory footsteps. From the rape and murder of the children of Beslan, Russia to the slaughter of the Fogel children of Itamar, Israel...the sycophants of the monster Muhammed continue to murder the most defenseless in the world.

 

Especially the kiddies of the kafir...

 

Shalom through strength...
