Concerned 'Friends' of
Israel
1)
Upon arriving on an official visit to Israel, German chancellor Merkel said
visiting Israel with most of her new cabinet in order to show Germany's
friendship with the Jewish state. Next she said that "part and parcel of
the security of Israel is the two state solution... a Jewish state of Israel
and alongside it a Palestinian state" (the Sinai Option
is a better solution for all - see below). At the same time Germany's foreign
minister heaped tough criticism on Israeli settlement policy in the West Bank
ahead of the visit, calling the construction "disruptive" to peace
efforts (but not Arab terrorism, inflexibility and intention to destroy Israel.
They never ‘advise’ PA to make “Tough Decisions”). And, German leaders
don't see eye to eye with Israel over how to deal with Iran's nuclear program.
Merkel said continued enrichment was not ideal but allowed for negotiations
meant to roll back Iran's nuclear program.
2) Richard
Falk, UN (‘Ugly Noting’) special rapporteur
on human rights in the Palestinian territories, said that Palestinian rights
are being violated by Israel's prolonged occupation of Palestinian territory
and "ethnic cleansing" of East Jerusalem
(disregarding the fact that the land was designated for the Jewish state by the
League of Nations, and legally it only can be called as “disputed” because of
the bogus claim made by the fake nation. If Israel has commited “ethnic
cleansing”, why are Arabs still occupying Jewish land?) In his final report to the UN Human Rights Council wrote
that UN member states should consider imposing a ban on imports of produce from
Jewish settlements in the West Bank. He
analyzed Israeli policies, including "continuing excessive use of force by
Israeli security forces" and unlawful killings that he said are "part
of acts carried out in order to maintain dominance over Palestinians". (No condemnation
of Islamic terror against Israel and recognition of Israel’s rights for
self-defense. What else can one expect from this self-hating Jew!)
Kerry Admits that He is a ‘Pit Bull Terrier’
US
Secretary of State John Kerry says he remains "committed" and
"determined" to reach a peace accord between Israelis and
Palestinians. Kerry says he is not distracted by the naysayers and has not
given up hope: "That's not the way I operate. People who know me know that
when I sink my teeth into something...
I try to get it done."
Kerry
has visited the region more than a dozen times since talks were launched in
July. With an April target date for an agreement approaching, Kerry will soon
return with bridging proposals for a framework deal. Recently, both sides (as
usual) appear to have hardened their positions while questioning the
effectiveness of Kerry's efforts. (But only Israel is criticized.)

Self-haters do not Care about Jewish
Heritage
Arab graffiti, which praised the terrorist group Popular Front for the
Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) in fighting the "Zionist enemy" to
"free Palestine", was found scrawled all over the ancient grave of
Elazar Hacohen, the son of Moses's brother Aaron from the Torah, in the
Samarian village of Awarta near Itamar. Yossi Dagan, Deputy Head of the Samaria
(Shomron) Regional Council, sharply criticized the Israeli media and President
Shimon Peres: "This is not the first time that Arabs have desecrated this
holy place. It is amazing to see the President's silence, after he denounced every
kind of graffiti against Arabs to the press. What's even more amazing is the
almost total silence of the hypocritical media."
Bogus
Negotiations are Failing Again - as Predicted
A PA official in Ramallah said that the meetings between Kerry and Abbas
in Paris were “negative,” (because Kerry
was exerting minor pressure on Abbas). “The gap
between the Israelis and Palestinians is wide and unbridgeable. The Palestinian
and American positions are incompatible,” said PA Deputy Prime Minister Ziad
Abu Amr. Abbas hailed the French and European position regarding the boycott of
settlement products. He also praised France for voting in favor of granting the
Palestinians the status of non-member observer in the UN in 2011. (PA has no interest, never had, for any peace compromise, it’s just
waiting for more self-defeating concessions from Israel.)
“Productive”
Procrastination Helps Iran!
An Iranian deputy foreign minister says the trilateral talks among
Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, EU foreign policy chief Catherine
Ashton and US Secretary of State John Kerry over Tehran’s nuclear energy
program were “productive”. (as in letting
Iran produce more enriched uranium and soon bombs?) Sen. Lindsey
Graham (R., S.C.) sharply criticized the Obama administration’s interim nuclear
deal with
PA
security forces have been conducting frequent raids of ‘refugee camps’ and
clashing with gunmen and rioting youths, as the PA tries to establish security
among its increasingly restless and volatile populace. Riot police wielded
truncheons and fired into the air late last month to disperse dozens of
rampaging youths who had blocked Ramallah streets and forced store owners to
shut their doors.
Israeli Singer Surprise Hit in Yemen
An Israeli singer has become an unlikely star in Yemen, an Arab country
where his hit songs blare from cafes and taxis. Zion Golan's parents were born
in Yemen, but like other Israelis, he is banned from travelling to the
conservative Muslim nation. (It just proves
that ordinary Arabs/Muslims do not care about so-called Palestinians or the artificially
created Arab-Israel conflict!)
Arabs
Running from a PA ‘State’
Israeli military has acknowledged the failure to stop or significantly
reduce the infiltration of Palestinians from the West Bank. They said the
multi-billion-dollar security barrier along the West Bank has not hampered
Palestinians from illegal residence in the Jewish state. “Every day, more and
more young Palestinians cross into Israel without any trouble and find
apartments and jobs without any difficulty,” an official said. “The terrorist
groups have used this to plant their own people for sleeper and operational
cells.”
Support for Israel among United States citizens is at a 23-year high of
72. Israel was the Middle Eastern country with the highest “favorable” rating
by far, with Egypt in a distant second place with 45% support.

Quotes of the Week:
“Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities,
but the influence of the religion paralyzes the social development (and education) of those who
follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being
moribund (dead-like Buddhism, Confucianism), Mohammedanism (Islam) is a militant
and proselytizing (terror) faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising
fearless warriors at every step.” - Sir Winston Churchill
- He was not a friend of Jews, in fact, he had done
everything possible to undermine the creation of Israel! And yet, knowing the
true nature of Arabs, he was helping them to take over Jewish land and destroy
the Jewish dream to return to Eretz-Israel.
US Leadership - Blind Idiots or Traitors?
In spite of all historic and current ugly behavior of
Muslim world the US leaders have been expressing such a warm, almost devotional
(if not delusional) friendship toward rich Oil (I beg your pardon) Islamic
neighbors!
Barack Obama:
“Islam has
always been a part of America’s story… and since our founding, American Muslims
have enriched the United States”. “Islam has demonstrated through words and
deeds the possibilities of religious tolerance and racial equality.” (He is
definitely delusional if not traitorous)
George W. Bush:
“Here in the
United States our Muslim citizens are making many contributions in business,
science and law, medicine and education… (they are) upholding our nation’s
ideals of liberty and justice in a world at peace.” “(Islam) inspires countless
individuals to lead lives of honesty, integrity, and morality.”
Bill Clinton:
“(Americans
know) the traditional values of Islam, devotion to faith and good works, to
family and society, are in harmony with the best of American ideals.“
George H.W. Bush:
“And I’m not
a student of religion, but I don’t find anything in what the principal
teachings of Islam that put us in contradiction at all. In fact, the principles
are the same as what - we have a diverse religious culture. But its kindness,
it’s being good to your neighbor, its love, and it’s take care of children.
It’s all these things that - so there’s no anti-Islam.”
Jimmy Carter:
“From the
beginning, the United States has enjoyed close and valued ties with the Muslim
world.” “We have the deepest respect and reverence for Islam and all who share
the faith of Islam.” “On the basis of both values and interests, the natural
relationship between Islam and the United States is one of friendship.”
