Gaza is Playground of Rich Arabs

A confidential State Department cable
from February 2006 describes former Qatari Emir Hamad bin Khalifa
Al-Thani, who founded Al-Jazeera by a royal decree in
1996, as a "a big friend of Hamas." He notably pledged $400 million

An unconditional 72-hour ceasefire was announced by Secretary of
State Kerry and UNSC Ban Ki-Moon. Around 90 minutes into the ceasefire Hamas
launched a suicide attack. Three soldiers were killed by Hamas
terrorists. Hamas also breached the truce with a
score of rockets and mortar shells. And now
Hamas Bombed the Camp in Shati
Italian reporter
Gabriele Barbati, who has now left Gaza and is no longer under direct threat of
retaliation by Hamas, is telling the truth about what’s going on there. Hamas
bombed the Palestinian camp in Shati - not Israel.

True release. It was Hamas rocket.” (But nobody care
about the truth, as long as Jews can be blamed!)
Food for Thought by Steven Shamrak
The Western
democratic world needs to face the truth and develop a plan of effective
combating Islamic expansionism. It is obvious that strong traditional
anti-Semitic hate still exists, anti-Israelism, but
they must face reality for the sake of their own preservation. Procrastination
will bring the demise of democracy!

Mahmoud
Abbas' Fatah movement is using Abbas' speech last week as a trigger for more
violence. Fatah threatens "to turn Tel Aviv into a ball of fire." A
new video promoting violence opens with Mahmoud Abbas' speech from last week in
which he, as Palestinian Media Watch reported, presented the current conflict
as a religious "war for Allah" by citing a verse from the Quran:
"Permission (to fight) has been given to those who are being fought,
because they were wronged. And indeed, Allah is competent to give them
victory." (Surah 22:39)

Russian Kornet-E and the 9M113 Konkurs
guided missiles which Hamas has fired against them don’t leave a scratch,
thanks to the Chariot-4 tank’s Armored Shield Protection-Active Trophy missile
defense system, the Windbreaker. Hamas fears that the IDF’s 401st armored
brigade’s tanks, the only ones fitted with this armor, will spearhead

Jewish Congress President Jack Rosen sent a letter to Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, demanding
that Erdogan returned an award given to him by the AJC because he does not
deserve it any longer. Erdogan received the prestigious Profile of Courage
award in 2004 for his "stances on fighting terrorism”, but a decade later
he has become "arguably the most virulent anti-Israel leader in the world
- spewing dangerous rhetoric for political gain and inciting the Turkish
population to violence against the Jewish people," Rosen said.

All of this leaves us puzzled and
concerned. President Obama is not only now exhibiting a troubling pattern of
engaging, shoring up, and aiding radical Islamic regimes like Hamas, but has a
longer record pointing in the same direction of favoring radical Islamic
regimes and movements and disfavoring their opponents. Specifically, and as the
ZOA has already previously pointed out:
…in February 2011, President Obama called
for Mubarak to step down "now"...
When the Muslim Brotherhood senior leader
and the Brotherhood's candidate or president, Mohamed Morsi
was, unsurprisingly, elected president, President Obama did not discontinue
arming the regime...

Last month, President Obama freed five
senior Taliban terrorist commanders in exchange for an American serviceman who
may have been a deserter. President Obama's record vis-a-vis
radical Islamic regimes and movements speaks for itself.
