‘Useless Nothing’ is still Ugly!
by Itamar Eichner
Israel's
Ambassador to Geneva, Eviatar Manor, slammed the decision to adopt the (Operation
Protective Edge) report, saying, "Hans Christian Andersen wrote famously
that the King is naked. So let me assume the role of the little boy in the
story and tell you - this Council has lost its bearing."
Calling the
adopted resolution "an anti-Israeli manifesto," Manor asserted that
it "distorts the intention of the authors of the report by completely
ignoring alleged violations of International Human Rights Law and International
Humanitarian Law committed by Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups."
"Hamas
continues to fire rockets and terror acts against Israelis go on as I
speak," he added.
"So allow me
to tell the truth about what Israel did in Gaza," Manor continued.
"One - Israel defended its population against aggression by a terrorist
organization. A terrorist organization which serially rejected every cease-fire
proposed.
"Two - Israel
went to extraordinary length to minimize the impact of the violence on Gaza's
civilian population. It went to great length to warn the civilian population on
impending strikes.
"Three -
Israel is fully committed to investigating all alleged violations of the Laws
of Armed Conflict. Israel's investigative mechanism has already filtered close
to 200 cases. Over 100 of these cases have been handed over to the Military
Advocate General.”
Political Correctness or Surrender to Islamic Terror?
Governments around the world are
stepping up pressure on the media to use terms other than Islamic State to
describe the terror group. The extremist group went through several name
changes before settling on Islamic State when leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi
announced a caliphate spanning Iraq and Syria in June 2014. Last week Mr.
Cameron told a BBC radio program that he believed the BBC should not label the
group Islamic State because it was offensive to Muslims. (While there was
some use before the 'so-called' Islamic State, others say - "death
cult", the name Daesh has become popular lately - it sounds similar to an
Arabic word meaning "one who sows discord". Why not call it by its
truly name - Islamic Terror Group, one of many Islam inspired terrorist
organizations!)
'Extension’ with Death to Israel and US Chant
Millions of Iranians took part in the
annual "Death to Israel Day" in Iran on Friday, ironically coinciding
with the twice-extended deadline for a deal on the Islamic regime's nuclear
program that apparently will be extended yet again. Meanwhile tens of thousands
of Iranians took to the streets of Tehran chanting "down with
America" and "death to Israel.

Food for Thought by Steven Shamrak
Why does Obama, as many US presidents before him, not care about the US
credibility in relation to Israel? He does not criticize Saudi Arabia and other
Arab states for their gross human rights abuse and violations; conducting
useless negotiation with Iran - allowing it to gain time for development of a
nuclear weapon; does not care about support provided to ISIS by a NATO
member-state, the Islamic government of Turkey; and avoids criticism of terrorism
and corruption of the so-called Palestinians, whose the only reason for
existence is to achieve the destruction of the Jewish state! Israel and Jews
need to reevaluate this friendship!

UNHRC Isn't Interested in the Facts
Prime
Minister Binyamin Netanyahu denounced the UN Human Rights Council. "The UN
Human Rights Council is not interested in the facts and is not really
interested in human rights,” Netanyahu charged in a statement. “On the day on
which Israel was fired at from Sinai, and at a time when ISIS is committing
vicious terrorist attacks in Egypt, as Assad slaughters his people in Syria and
as the number of arbitrary executions per annum climbs in Iran – the UN Human
Rights Council decides to condemn the State of Israel for no fault of its own,
for acting to defend itself from a murderous terrorist organization.”

We Don't Hate the Jews; They Just Don't Exist
PLO Ambassador to Chile Nabil Jada'a
claimed that the Jewish people do not exist, and also relied on the Protocols
of the Elders of Zion, an anti-Semitic hoax from 1903. “As Palestinians, first,
we don’t have hatred. Second we don’t recognize the existence of the Jewish
people-there is no Jewish people.” (Look who is talking! Read about true origin of ‘Palestinians’
here - Ethnic Make Up of 'Palestinians'.)
Has
India Changed its Political Direction?
The PA was “shocked” at India’s abstention on an anti-Israel
resolution passed at the UN Human Right’s Council, the PA’s ambassador to India
said, recalling the days when Yasser Arafat used to call the country’s former
premier Indira Gandhi “his sister.” (Abstention is not a change, but for
BBC Admits Covering Up of PA Anti-Semitism
New BBC documentary, entitled "Children of Gaza,"
deliberately mistranslates 'Palestinian' children's comments about Jews. The
children regularly used the word "yahud,"
meaning "Jew”, when talking about their enemies. The BBC's translators
insisted on changing "Jews" to "Israelis" in order to make
the Palestinians appear more tolerant. (This again highlights the deep ingrained anti-Semitic tendency
of the organization. The BBC has long been criticized for bias in favour of ‘poor Palestinians’!)

have admitted it has trained only 60 Syrians to fight ISIL. The programme, launched in May, had been designed to train as
many as 5,400 opposition fighters a year to battle the group.

Israel Creates New Commando Brigade
While US president
Barack Obama coined his approach to the struggle against the Islamic State with
the words: “Ideologies are not defeated by guns. They’re defeated with better
ideas.” – Israel and its military leaders are taking no chances against a
declared enemy.
IDF Chief of Staff
Lt. Gen. Gady Eisenkott unveiled Israel’s answer to the coming challenge. It is
a unique, multi-purpose commando ground force, especially tailored to fight
ISIS and provide the “boots on the ground”.
The new Commando
Brigade is designed for quiet, bold, covert and effective action against
terrorist groups posing a threat from the Sinai Desert to Egyptian sovereignty
and Israel’s southern border.
The new outfit
brings together the different skills and the high, focused fire power rendered
by the four elite units' assorted weaponry. In this sense, these units, all
highly adept in different aspects of covert and stealth operations deep behind
enemy lines, complement one another. This amalgam that may be loosely likened
to a unique combination of US Delta, Seals, Rangers, and airborne commandoes
all rolled in one.
The elite units
merged into the new commando brigade are:
1. Meglan, which
specializes in destroying enemy systems with the accent on armored units. Its
members are equipped with intelligence technology for gathering data and its
transmission in real time.
2. Duvdevan's
tasks are to liquidate targeted terrorists and round up suspects. Its members
operate under cover by blending into a hostile population in disguise. They are
trained for single combat in the heart of enemy terrain.
3. Egoz commandos employ guerilla tactics
borrowed from the books of terrorist organizations.
4. Rimon commandos also blend into a hostile
population disguised as locals for the purpose of spotting and foiling
terrorist operations in difficult and complex areas.
