Most Bitter Western Enemy of Israel
by Benny Toker,
Ari Yashar
The harsh
criticism flung by US President Barack Obama's administration against Israel this week for a building
project in Jerusalem is only a sign of
things to come, according to Attorney Yoram Sheftel.
The controversy
came over a building project of 2,610 housing units in Givat
Hamatos, a Jewish neighborhood
in Jerusalem, which was in the works since 2012, and which Netanyahu accused
far-left group Peace Now of reporting precisely now so as to scuttle his
meeting with Obama...
Following suit
after the White House, France and the European Union (EU) also issued
condemnation and threats against Israel for the
construction project in Israel's capital.
In addition to the
building project, America also condemned Israel for the legal
purchase of apartment by dozens of Jewish families, who moved into eleven
apartments in the Shiloach neighborhood
(known as Silwan by local Arabs) in Jerusalem on Monday night.
White House Press
Secretary Josh Earnest sparked rage on Wednesday by condemning that legal move
as an "occupation."
In Russia Do What the Russians
Do!
On August 04, 2013,
Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, addressed the Duma, (Russian
Parliament), and gave a speech about the tensions with minorities in Russia: In Russia, live
like Russians. Any minority, from anywhere, if it wants to live in Russia, to
work and eat in Russia, it
should speak Russian, and should respect the Russian laws. If they prefer
Sharia Law, and live the life of Muslims then we advise them to go to those
places where that's the state law. Russia does
not need Muslim minorities. Minorities need Russia, and
we will not grant them special privileges, or try to change our laws to fit
their desires, no matter how loud they yell 'discrimination'. We will not
tolerate disrespect of our Russian culture.
We
better learn from the suicides of America, England, Holland and France, if
we are to survive as a nation. The Muslims are taking over those countries and
they will not take over Russia. The
Russian customs and traditions are not compatible with the lack of culture or
the primitive ways of Sharia Law and Muslims. When this honourable legislative body
thinks of creating new laws, it should have in mind the Russian national
interest first, observing that the Muslims Minorities Are Not Russians.
Food for Thought by Steven
Shamrak
The United
States cancelled
flights to Israel
because of one rocket from Gaza hit
near Ben Gurion airport in Tel Aviv, but
is still providing flight connections to the Ebola-stricken West
Africa. The United States had asked Israel to send help to
hot-zones in Africa, which Israel refused to. At the same time the US
refuses even recognise the role Israel
plays, by providing valuable intelligence on ISISL in Syria and
airspace for allies’ planes, in the fight against the Islamic State
organisation. Enough with the hypocrisy and anti-Semitic bigotry!
Why US Defend UNRWA's Artificial ‘Refugee’
The
US State Department has chosen to act as UNRWA’s patron and the protector of
its mission. UNRWA, the United Nations agency that manages the Palestinian
refugee issue, follows rules that contradict United States law and policy, and its practices result in
perpetuating and multiplying the refugee problem rather than resolving it. (“With a friend like this who needs an
enemy!”)
Hamas
Getting ready for the Next War
Just
a little over a month after the November 26 ceasefire with Israel that ended Hamas's terror war and the 50-day
Operation Protective Edge, terrorists in Gaza fired a rocket into the sea. The "test"
indicates that industry is kicking back into life even as Hamas approaches
renewed Cairo truce talks with Israel in the last week of October. Hamas has also received
large quantities of rockets from Iran, among other suppliers.
Reprimand is
not Enough for Bigots!
Sweden's ambassador to Israel has been summoned for a reprimand meeting on Monday
at the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem,
after Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven announced
his intention to recognize Palestine.
Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman "If the
Swedish prime minister's inauguration speech is concerned with the situation in
the Middle East, he would be better off focusing on the urgent problems in the
area, like the daily mass killings in Syria, Iraq, and other places in the
region."
Bigot's Clarification
Sweden
has effectively retracted an earlier statement by new prime minister Stefan Lofven, who announced that his country would recognize the
“state of Palestine,” arousing ire in Israel and disapproval in the United
States. (As a part of their anti-Israel campaign, bigots
make ‘loud’ anti-Israel declarations first and quietly retract them later!)
‘Peace-Loving’ Hamas
Hamas
Political Bureau member Mahmoud Al-Zahar stated that
Hamas wants to build an Islamic state in all of Palestine, meaning it would replace Israel. Al-Zahar further said
that if Hamas had a military foothold in the West Bank (Judea and Samaria) as it does in the Gaza Strip it would be able to
destroy Israel.
When the
Government Incoherent!
After
Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon rejected (snubbed) a
special request by the US and UN to send IDF field hospitals to Ebola hit
Liberia and Sierra Leone, the Foreign Ministry announced its intention to send
three mobile emergency clinics to areas in West Africa. (Arab countries, with all their oil wealth, are not in any rush to
participate in any international relief program. They are only performing well
in the terror-support area!)
'Peaceful' Islamic Blackmail
Hamas "political wing" official Muhammad Nazal announced his terrorist organization is preparing for
the start of a channel of negotiations with Israel, meant to release hundreds
of terrorists in exchange for the bodies of fallen IDF soldiers Hadar Goldin and Oron Shaul hy"d.
Biden Apologised for Telling the
Truth
The
United
Arab Emirates says US Vice President Joe Biden has apologised to
the Abu Dhabi crown prince for "any implications" in
remarks he made that the UAE had supported ISIL fighters in Syria. Phone call by US vice president to Abu Dhabi crown prince comes a day after he offered an apology
to Turkey's president. Biden, who is known for his occasional
verbal gaffes, angered US allies when he suggested in a speech at Harvard
University that Turkey, Qatar and the UAE had extended "billions of
dollars and tens of thousands of tons of weapons" to Sunni fighters. (There have been many ‘gaffes’ made against Israel by the US officials, but we never heard an
apology!)
Hypocritical Israeli ‘Peaceniks’
As
co-founder of the radical leftist movement, Tzali Reshef presents himself to the Israeli public as someone
passionately opposed to building new Jewish neighborhoods or communities - or
any construction in those that exist, including expansion - in areas claimed by
the Palestinian Authority, but his company invests in building up the same
areas in Jerusalem.
Turkey
Killing Kurds, Helps ISIL
At
least 21 people have been killed in riots across Turkey, the deadliest street unrest in years, after the
Kurdish minority rose up in fury at the government's refusal to protect a
besieged Syrian town from Islamic State (IS) militants. Earlier, Turkey's president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, had warned that Kobane
was about to fall into the hands of ISIL. Clashes also erupted in the capital Ankara and in the country's biggest city, Istanbul, where almost 100 people were detained and 30 people
were injured. (If Israel killed so many Arab-Israelis, there
would be an ‘extraordinary’ meeting of the UN Security Council by now! Turkey prevents Kurdish fighters from joining
defense of Kobane, buys oil from ISIL and does not
allow allies use its ground military bases for attack on ISIL. When will NATO
expel this Islamic enemy?)
No an 'Idol' Hate for Israel
The
most popular show in the Arab world ignited an uproar
throughout the region when it displayed a map depicting the home country of two
of its contestants as Israel. The singers on the “Arab Idol” show were Arab
citizens of Israel who live in Galilee, but the Saudi MBC-TV network was forced
to apologize to hundreds millions of viewers for acknowledging the existence of
the Jewish state and not identifying the contestants’ homeland as “Palestine.”
Quote of the Week:
“We have issues with Syria,
an issue based on a principle. But let me say it clearly: The Turkish
government has never cooperated with Israel
against any Muslim country, and it never will.” - Ahmet Davutoglu, Turkish
Foreign Minister - Turkey did not cooperate with a coalition
during operation “Desert Storm” in Iraq and now in the war against ISIL! When
will NATO get rid of this of Islamic evil?
Abbas will Never Accept the Existence of Israel
by Hezki
Ezra, Tova Dvorin
(There
is no difference in the attitude of Fatah and the Hamas leadership - it is destruction of Israel!
Nothing has changed since the departure of ‘infamous Yasser’.
The Arab states have the same aim; they just have been working behind the
scenes and, at the moment they are threatened by and pre-occupied with the
Islamic State, but not for long!)
Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon
hit back at Mahmoud Abbas, after Abbas gave an incitement-laced speech at the
UN General Assembly blaming Israel for
"war crimes" and "genocide" during Operation Protective
Edge in Gaza.
"Through his speech at the UN, Mahmoud Abbas proves for the umpteenth
time: this is not a leader who wants peace and the advancement of his people's
lives, but a person who distributes lies, incitement, and hate speech against Israel,"
Ya'alon stated Saturday. "Mahmoud Abbas is not a
man of peace, and is not really interested in an agreement with Israel,
which means recognition of the Jewish national homeland."
"Time
after time, Mahmoud Abbas goes on to deceive the international community, to
throw at Israel false and racist accusations out of the hope that threats,
pressure, and lies will scare us and make us acquiesce (to his demands)," Ya'alon continued.
Ya'alon implied that Abbas's speech was
particularly grave, and may have jettisoned future plans to renew peace
talks.
"He
has no partner for a political agreement - which is essential to end the
conflict - and we will therefore not compromise the security of Israeli
citizens," Ya'alon said, referencing plans to
make a Palestinian state in Judea and Samaria.
"In every situation, we are responsible for our own destiny and our own
security, and we will be in the future."
