Political Exit Stunts of Abbas
Each time Mahmoud
Abbas threatens to step off the stage, and in recent years it has been
happening once every few months, Israel panics.
As always, Israel
is trying to understand whether this threat is more serious than before, and
who Abbas' potential successors in Ramallah might be. As time passes and Abbas
grows old (he celebrated his 80th birthday this year), Israel treats his
threats more and more seriously.
Over the past few
months, Europeans have publicly given Abbas their commitment to restart peace
negotiations right after the Iran deal is approved. The Americans made him a
similar promise as well, but only half-heartedly and in private. The Obama
administration is intentionally presenting a vague position on the renewal of
peace talks so as to not harm its Congressional prospects (on the Iranian
nuclear deal).
Abbas' hints about
retiring from the Palestinian Authority's leadership are accompanied by his
recent announcement that he will not be renewing his candidacy for another high
position he currently occupies: Chairman of the Palestine Liberation
Organization (PLO). He and nine other members of the PLO Executive Committee
have announced their resignations.
No one will be
surprised if the council calls for him and his friends to go back on their
resignation, and no one will be surprised if Abbas reluctantly accepts the
movement's decision and stay at the PLO's helm. At the same time, he's planning
on distancing his enemies.
These kinds of
stunts prove not only that Abbas isn't about to quit tomorrow morning, but that
he wants to remain influential.
United Only by Killing Jews and Destroying Israel!
Representatives from a number of
Palestinian terrorist organizations met in Beirut in order to work out a joint
strategy to continue fighting Israel. The groups included Hamas, the Popular
Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), Fatah, the Palestinian Liberation
Front (PLF) and the Revolutionary Palestinian Communist Party. The meeting
focused on fighting Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria, the
"Judaization" of Jerusalem, and plans that would permit Jewish prayer
on the Temple Mount.
Dear readers,
I publish this editorial letter to promote Zionist ideals, and
support the rights of Israel to exist and Jews to live on all Jewish ancestral
land! The purpose is to educate people by presenting facts and, hopefully,
change their attitude about Arab-Israeli conflict. It has never been my
intention to offend anyone - even idiotic
Nazis, common anti-Semites or a religion indoctrinated ones, Israel-hating
lefties and so-called humanists, hypocritical members of the international
press, unscrupulous politicians and business people, or some Jewish lost soils!
If, for any reason, you have been offended by some information published or
statements made in this editorial, please re-examine carefully all relevant facts,
and honestly re-evaluate your pre-conceived ideas and belief system.

WE MUST NOT FORGET! I watched the 9/11
attack live on several US television networks. It was a late night in
Two Holocaust survivors brutally beaten
in Amsterdam. Attackers called Shmuel and Diana Blog ‘dirty Jews'; beating left
them wheelchair-bound and cost Shmuel his sight. Welcome to the new Europe,
same as the old one, with imported Islamo-Nazis to do their bidding this time.
The Europeans hide behind their Islamic thugs. And, leftist Jews actively
support these attacks with their money and votes!
Israel Reduces VAT
Israel's
sales tax to drop by 1% for consumers and 1.5% for companies. "With high
taxes, the economy does not grow," Netanyahu stated. "In recent
months, the state treasury accumulated a surplus of billions," said
Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon. "This money came from citizens and we
intend to return it to citizens." (Have any ‘normal’ states done it?)
No Media Hype about Saudi Concern over
King Salman of
Israel Must Prove Khamenei Wrong
Iran’s supreme
religious leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in a series of threatening tweets
Wednesday, said Israel would not survive the next 25 years and Iran would
reject any negotiations with the US, or the “Great Satan,” beyond the nuclear
deal. (Only by adopting the national Zionist plan and its decisive implementation
Israel will be able to end enemy aggression, defeat them and reunite Jewish
land!)
India and Israel's
military relationship grew further last week, after Delhi quietly purchased ten
armed Heron TP drones from the Jewish state in a $400 million deal. Herons are
used for precision strikes and can carry over 1,000 kg (2,200 lbs). The ones
being supplied to India will be equipped with air-to-ground missiles for
destroying terror targets.

along with that of the Holy See, at UN headquarters - a symbolic step in the

Blackmail by the Oslo Accords
Cancelation
by Jack Moore
Mahmoud Abbas is considering opening a
"new chapter in Palestinian history" in his UN General Assembly
speech later this month, with the PA leadership "in favor" of voiding
the Oslo peace accords with Israel, according to a PLO official.
The Oslo Accords, the first signed in
1993 and the second in 1995, outlined a peace process between Israel and the
Palestinians with the aim of fulfilling the "right of the Palestinian people
to self-determination."
The accords created the Palestinian
Authority (PA), which today controls the West Bank and (sometimes) coordinates
with Israel on security matters. It also created Areas A, B and C of the West
Bank, with A under the PA's control, C under Israeli control and B under shared
control.
The official confirmed that discussions
over the move are continuing and that it has support from the majority of the
Palestinian leadership.
"What Majdalani said, it's
something that is being studied and is very popular. Most of the leadership are
in favour of that," the official said.
"I think that the president, when
it comes to an issue like this, does not comment until the decision has been
made," the official added. "But what I can tell you is what Majdalani
said is indeed being discussed and I think that people would be surprised if I
told you the names pushing for it."
Abbas has routinely made symbolic
statements in his annual UN General Assembly speech. Last year, he said that
Israel had committed "genocide" during the seven-week Gaza War. In
2011, he announced in his speech that the Palestinians would seek membership
for a state of Palestine at the UN Security Council. (This is a good
new development, If they decide to void the Oslo Accords, which has expired 10
years ago, it will open the way for Israel to implement the
Sinai Option.)
