Cleansing of Gaza Strip is Needed
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s closest political ally has called
for Israel to carry out a “thorough cleansing” of the Gaza Strip as a tenuous
ceasefire between its Hamas rulers and the Jewish state frayed.
Former foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman called for Israel to reconquer
the crowded coastal enclave to avoid “finding ourselves in two years with Hamas
having aircraft and hundreds of missiles that will reach beyond Tel Aviv”.
His comments came as the Israeli Air Force attacked targets in the Gaza
Strip after six rockets were fired from Gaza into southern Israel...
Mr. Lieberman suggested that neither the eight-day aerial campaign
Israel launched in November with the stated goal of halting rockets from Gaza,
nor the devastating Operation Cast Lead in 2008-09 in which more than 1,100
Palestinians and 13 Israelis died, had proven effective at quelling the
violence.
“Without willingness to take things to their conclusion we merely
increase the threats,” he said, adding that Hamas “has no intention of coming
to terms with the Jewish presence in the land of Israel and therefore what is
needed is to seriously consider conquering the Strip and carry out a thorough
cleansing.”

UNRWA-funded schools never acknowledge any Jewish rights in “Palestine”, nor
any Jewish past in the Land of Israel. "Israel is

A True Christian Cannot Be
Anti-Semite
Pope Francis has condemned anti-Semitism,
saying that it has no place in the church. "Because of our common roots, a
true Christian cannot be anti-Semitic," Francis said at a meeting with a
delegation of the International Jewish Committee on Interreligious
Consultations (IJCIC). The Church "firmly condemns hatred, persecution and
all manifestations of anti-Semitism," he said. (Nice
sentiment, but will he publicly confess atrocities the Church have committed
and facilitated against Jews? How about Torahs, Jewish books and artefacts,
hidden in Vatican underground vaults, that the Church has systematically stolen
from Jews since Roman times - will he return them?)

forces seized a large cache of illegal weapons, which were discovered in the
homes of Arab terror suspects. Overall, 19 terror suspects were arrested
overnight throughout the Jordan Valley and Judea and Samaria regions. Lt. Col.
Peter Lerner said: "More than a dozen shooting incidents were reported
since the beginning of 2013 in Judea and Samaria. Counterterrorism activities
in the region are crucial to the prevention of such incidents." “The IDF
will not tolerate any threat to the safety of the citizens of Israel and will
continue to act against those responsible.”

“This is a Jewish state that’s a

Ron Prosor,
described
the special situation of Palestinian refugees on the recent World Refugee Day.
Unlike other refugees, the Palestinians have their
own set of rules, their own funding and even their own international agency,
the United Nations Relief and Works Agency or UNRWA. To paraphrase George
Orwell, all refugees are equal, but some refugees are more equal than others.
In 2012, the United Nations spent six times more on
every Palestinian refugee as compared to all other refugees. Like a favored
child, the Palestinians have been on the UN’s permanent payroll for over 60
years and are entitled to every service from healthcare to housing and from
food rations to education. When it comes to refugees from
While UNHCR’s approach teaches independence, UNRWA’s
approach prepares the Palestinians to be lifelong dependents. Under UNRWA’s
framework, Palestinians can continue to be called refugees long after they
acquire citizenship and find permanent housing.
…By allowing refugee status to pass to Palestinian
children and grandchildren, the number of Palestinian refugees has ballooned
from a few hundred thousand in 1948 to over five million today. Left unchecked,
hundreds of thousands of Palestinians will continue to be added to the UN’s
permanent payroll every year.
…If the current trend continues, then, in ten years
there will be 6.8 million. The 10 million mark will be reached in 2035, when a
Palestinian child born today will be 22 years old. And in 100 years, there will
be 116 million Palestinian refugees!
This is clearly unsustainable, but the only
‘solution’ acceptable to the Arabs, to supporters of BDS, to a majority of UN
members, and even to our local “Peace Fresno” organization is that all of these
Arabs will ‘return to their homes’ in what is today Israel. In the meantime,
their ‘oppression’ qualifies them to engage in violent actions.
...By making the Palestinians the poster children for
international victimhood, the Arab states believe they hold a permanent trump
card to defame and pressure
