Nothing is Accidental…
by Steven Shamrak
…in portrayal of the Jews in
Bible and attitude of the Church toward Jews during Christian discourses. From
the acceptance of Christianity by the Roman empire Jews have been used to
having to hide the fact that the Roman occupiers of Judea and Samaria were
responsible for the death of the Christian saviour. Later, Rome could not allow
itself to be blamed for his death after adopting the religious ideas of a
Jewish sect. Therefore, Judaism had been chosen as a convenient patsy.
One would think that this
attitude is ancient history, but even during the recent celebration of World
Youth Day in Sydney, which was portrayed as a positive and joyful occasion with
some attempts of religious reconciliation, this anti-Jewish bias attitude of
the officialdom of the Catholic Church was still in play. For example, during
the re-enactment of the Last Supper, which was apparently a Pesach (Passover)
Seder meal, an actor who was playing the character of the Jewish man, Jesus,
shared with other 12 Jews, Apostles, not the traditional Jewish Pesach bread
Matzos, but a Lebanese pitas. Even after lip service by the current Pope about
reconciliation with Jews, the Lebanese pita is more acceptable to the taste of
the official Catholic anti-Semites than Jewish Matzos.
It is the deed not empty,
deceitful and convoluted words and apologies that is important and make sense!
Anything else is just a smoke screen to cover up and hide the ugly past and
present behavior of the Catholic Church toward Jews!
A 5 year old girl and four
militants (terrorists), members
of the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades - the armed wing of Hamas, were killed on Friday in an explosion in a car outside Gaza City. – Why was a child taken for a ride in the car with terrorists? According to international law, using civilians as a
human shield is illegal, but anti-Israel international hypocrisy does not care!
Hurting
Helping Hand. Arab relatives of the sick man at the western Galilee
village of Kabul threw rocks at a Magen David Adom ambulance which had been
called to help him.
Food for Thought. by Steven Shamrak
The
PA and Hamas, with the support of many international ‘Jew-lovers’, cry poor and
demand that Israel open her borders and allow so-called Palestinians to work in
Israel. In return, they have been consistently showing their appreciation by
killing Jews including their Jewish employers. Hypocrisy must end. Let them
depart and live happily in Sinai, far away from Jews, where they will not be
able to blame us for their own made ugly ‘misfortune’!
Rail Inspector Savagely Beaten by Arabs. An Israel Railways employee
was beaten last Thursday by a group of Arab youths. A group of young Arabs
confronted him at his guard post at a railway crossing near Atlit, demanded his
weapon, and savagely beat him when they discovered he was unarmed.
When Bad Politic
Overrides Common Sense. Shin Bet chief tells Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense
Committee that Hamas has been taking advantage of the truce in order to plant
mines in wide areas in the Gaza Strip: "Hamas today has missiles which can
reach Kiryat Gat and maybe even Ashdod… This is one of the reasons I objected
to the ceasefire," he said. "I'm not saying how we should do thing,
but in order to fight terror we have no choice but to be present in the
area." (…and
remove the source of terror!)
Hamas
Praises Attack as “Natural Reaction”. Eleven people are being treated for physical
injuries and shock after an Arab tractor driver smashed a bus and at least two
cars and tried to run over pedestrians. The terrorist, from Eastern Jerusalem,
drove his tractor from a work site in the Yemin Moshe neighbourhood and turned
on to King David street before he was killed. Hamas praised Tuesday's bulldozer
attack, saying that it was a "natural reaction". (Isn’t it time for Israel to make
a decisive ‘Reaction’ against enemy terror and them ‘react somewhere else? I
wonder how would Americans or Europeans feel if an Arab tractor driver attack
them in the centre of Washington, London or Paris?)
Deterrent will
not Work. Since January 1, the IDF, Israel Police and Shin Bet (Israel Security
Agency) have arrested close to 80 Arabs from East Jerusalem on suspicion of
involvement in terrorism. Jerusalem has seen random terror stabbings and
attacks over many years. Security officials said a daily presence of security
forces is needed inside East Jerusalem and Arab towns. It would add to Israel's
deterrence and cause a potential terrorist to rethink his plans. (Only the transfer of these enemies from
the Jewish land will end this terror. Anything else is just a short-term ‘patch
job’!)
Ugly Face of Enemy. Hizbullah leader Hassan
Nasrallah has suggested another deal with Israel, this time offering details on
missing soldiers in return for Israel's freeing PA terrorists.
Milestone in a Battle for Jewish Rights. The Supreme Court has
ordered yet another eviction of Arab squatters and the return of a home to its
Jewish owners. The home in question is located in the renewed ancient Jewish
neighborhood built around the 2,000-year-old gravesite and tomb of the
Tannaitic Sage Shimon HaTzaddik, half a mile north of Damascus Gate. (When Jewish Rights are concerned the
Israeli ‘politicly correct’ justice system takes its time!)
Quote of
the Week:
“Timid men
prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of liberty” -
Thomas Jefferson – It is time for “Timid”
Jews, and not only Jews, to become
self-respectful and take our liberty back!
Another Delusional Politician. Republican presidential
candidate Senator John McCain said in interview that international sanctions
against Iran can stop it from developing the ability to produce nuclear
weapons. He added that a military option does not have to be considered at this
point. (While
Chinese are buying oil at any cost and Russia is supplying military technology
for cash, why would sanctions work? Strangely, Sen. McCain is considered to be
more knowledgeable than Sen. Obama on foreign affairs!)
Israeli Arabs in Al-Qaeda Plot. Six young Arabs from Israel
and Eastern Jerusalem were arrested by Shin Bet in June and July this year for
allegedly setting up an al-Qaida-affiliated terrorist network and plotting to
shoot down US President George W. Bush's helicopter earlier this year. Some of
the Arabs arrested were students at Hebrew University.
Hizballah: War not Over. Sheikh Naim Kassem, deputy
secretary-general of Hizballah, said on Saturday, July 19, that abductions of
more Israeli soldiers may not be ruled out. He declared that his pro-Iranian
Shiite terror group remained at war with Israel. (I wonder when Israeli politicians will
realise that!)
Stupid Idea from Israeli Left Again. Meretz MK Yossi Beilin
called on European countries to declare how many Palestinian refugees and their
descendants they would be willing to absorb as part of any future peace
agreement between Israel and the Palestinians. (Why must the EU, but not the 60 Muslim
countries, including 22 Arab ones, absorb a terror-infested population of a
fake Palestinian nation? Europe has its own problem with the millions of
Muslims it has allowed in!)
Tell Me Who is Your Friend… The Arab League has attacked
International Criminal Court prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo's request to arrest
Sudanese President Omar al-Beshir on charges of genocide in Darfur.
Rats are the Best Weapon Against ‘Rats’. The Palestinian Authority's
official news agency Wafa accused Israel of using rats to drive Arab families
out of their homes in the Old City of Jerusalem. In the past the news agency,
which is controlled and funded by PA President Mahmoud Abbas's office, has
accused Israel of using wild pigs to drive Palestinians out of their homes and
fields in the West Bank. (Must
Jews come to Arabs homes and clean their rubbish to stop rat infestation?)
Corrupt Political System Sustains Corrupt
Politicians. Fifty-nine percent of Kadima members do not want Prime Minister Ehud
Olmert to run again for the leadership of the Kadima party. Two-thirds of the
party's members want the Prime Minister to suspend himself from office. (In spite of six corruption investigations,
a failed war in Lebanon, PR disasters and the consequences of prisoner exchange
and lack of public support, Israel’s political system does not allow the
removal of the ‘ill’ Prime Minister from the office.)
Another “Symbolic“ Road to Nowhere. French Foreign Minister
Bernard Kouchner has called for the European Union (EU) to display a
"European Roadmap" as part of a larger role in trying "to help
bring peace to the Middle East." This "will be the moment to propose
a form of partnership that will take more account of the symbolic, and real,
weight of the European Union…”
Blair Doubts Peace. Israel, as usual, at Fault! A day after he was prevented
from visiting Gaza by an assassination threat, Tony Blair raised doubts for the
first time that a peace deal could be concluded between Israel and the
Palestinians by the end of the year. He said: "The political situation in
Israel makes it difficult to continue being optimistic about reaching a peace
treaty between the Israelis and Palestinians…” (Is not the unwillingness of Islamic
thugs to recognise Israel and stop terrorism the real reason? This is the
‘unbiased’ position of the international community’s envoy to the Middle East!)
