Wake-Up Call for Israeli Peaceniks
by Ido Ben Porat and Elad
Benari
MK Shuli
Mualem (Jewish Home) said that the terrorist attack in Tel Aviv was a wake-up
call to people who still think peace with the Palestinian Authority (PA) is
possible. (At least 20 people were wounded, among them three seriously.)
She
criticized PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas and the unilateral steps he has taken
against Israel, saying, "Just as the Palestinians are running to The
Hague, the Israeli government should approve as soon as possible the Levy
Report" which conclusively proved that Israel's presence in Judea and
Samaria is legal under international law.
Prime
Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said the attack was “a direct result of the toxic
incitement spread by the Palestinian Authority against Jews and their
state."
Sure enough, barely
two hours after Matruk's bloody rampage, PA Arab media outlets were already
churning out cartoons glorifying the act. (How many
‘wake-up’ calls do Jews need to realize that only by standing for our own
rights Israel will be able to reunite all Jewish land and achieve peace?)
Obama is not Happy about Invitation
Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accepted an invitation from House of
Representatives Speaker John Boehner to address a joint session of Congress
next month and discuss the threats from Iran and radical Islam. The White House, president Obama,
was not informed. The invitation came a day after Obama said he would veto
legislation to impose new sanctions on Iran. The White House said that Obama will not meet
Netanyahu, nor will Kerry. (The invitation came from
the representatives of American people!)
Obama anti-Israel Fraudster!
A senior Israeli says “friends don't act like this”
after Mossad Head denies US claim that he opposed Iran sanctions in talk with
senators. "The fraudulent claims against the Mossad Head were raised by
the Americans yesterday, despite a message that had been transmitted to them by
Intelligence Minister (Yuval) Steintz.” "Leaking
the Mossad Head's statements, even if they had not been falsified, is a serious
breach of all the rules,” the senior source added. “Friends do not behave
like this. Information from a secret meeting must not leak out.”
Is it just Business or is Putin
is Another Enemy of Israel?
Cash-strapped
Russia is now ready to sell advanced surface to air
missiles - not just to Iran, but also to Egypt, Syria and the Lebanese Shiite Hizballah.
Moscow began sending S-300 components to Iran and Syria two years ago, in advance of the full systems which
were also promised to Hizballah.
Food for Thought by Steven Shamrak
Muslims all over the world
and their political leaders came out and vigorously protested - in Turkey,
Iran, Gaza and Ramallah, Pakistan...
Strangely, they were not outraged by terror attacks committed by their Muslim
brethrens in Paris,
but by Charlie Hebdo’s
response to the hideous Islamic attacks. The Muslim ‘silent majority’ is quite
vocal and capable to express its opinion when it wants. The problem is
that they do, and often not so ‘silently’, support radical Islam!
The Ridiculous ‘Solution’ which does not
Work!
Europe must do more
to better integrate its Muslim communities, and not “simply respond with a
hammer,” US President Barack Obama said in the wake of last week’s terror
attacks in France. “Our biggest
advantage, major, is that our Muslim populations - they feel themselves to be
Americans,” Obama told a joint press conference with British Prime Minister
David Cameron. (What a bull! Integration drives have been tried before and have failed!
Did you see the ‘outrage’ of the Muslim communities in the US, Europe or anywhere about
Islamic attacks in Paris? They do not
want integration or have even basic respect for the customs of host countries!)
Saudis Building a 600-mile Wall - No International
Condemnation!
Saudi Arabia is building a 600-mile-long “Great Wall”
- a combined fence and ditch - to separate the country from Iraq to the north. The proposal had been
discussed since 2006. The border zone now includes five layers of fencing with
watch towers, night-vision cameras, and radar cameras. Riyadh also sent an extra 30,000 troops to the
area. (When Israel was building the anti-terror wall, to
protect Jews from PA murderous attacks, the well-orchestrated anti-Israel
international condemnation campaign was unleashed!)
Gutless
Procrastination!
Underscoring the lengths to which the Obama administration seems
willing to go to deny concerns about Iran's nuclear program, even in the face
of stunning moves by Tehran to expand its nuclear capabilities, a State
Department official told reporters that Iran’s decision to begin construction
of two nuclear reactors is not a violation of the Joint Plan of Action (JPOA),
the agreement signed in November 2013 to prevent Iran from advancing its
nuclear program.
Beware
Saudis - Israeli Gas is Coming
Israel discovers another major gas field. A new huge natural gas field has been
discovered about 150 km off Israel's coast. Seismic analysis suggests that
the Royee field contains an estimated 3.2 trillion
cubic feet of gas, making it Israel’s third largest after Leviathan and
Tamar. (The positive
outcome of oil/gas discoveries by Israel are already felt though the world, as
Arab states keep the cost of oil and gas low, in spite of fallen demand.)
Tolerance “My Foot”!
Pope Francis has called on Catholics and Western people in general
to refrain from insulting other religions - namely Islam: “It’s normal, it’s
normal (violence). One cannot provoke, one cannot insult other people’s faith, one cannot make fun of faith.” A day later, Muslim Muslims
broke a Virgin Mary statue to pieces and then urinated on it in the small
chapel of St. Barnabas in Perugia (Italy). One wonders if the Pope would call it
“normal” if members of his own flock were to murder those Muslims who urinated on
the statue?
In
Desperate Time - “If not Me then Who?”
The European Jewish Association (EJA), which represents Jewish
communities across Europe, is petitioning the European Union to
pass new legislation that would permit Jewish community members to carry guns
“for the essential protection of their communities.” The gun license laws must
be altered following a string of deadly attacks on Jews in France and other European countries, where
anti-Semitism has been growing at an alarming rate.
Did the Pope Justify the Charlie Hebdo
Massacre?
The
Vatican has snapped into overdrive trying to play down
controversial comments made by the Pope. "There are so many people who
speak badly about religions or other religions, who make fun of them, who make
a game out of the religions of others," he said. "They are
provocateurs. And what happens to them is what would happen to Dr. Gasbarri if he says a curse word against my mother. There
is a limit" (Thousands of Christians are killed
by Muslims around the world, but the Vatican is silent!)
Hamas is Planning Another
Conflict
Egyptian forces uncovered a 1,200-meter long tunnel running from
the Gaza Strip into the Sinai Peninsula with a large amount of explosives and mortar shells inside. Egypt says it has destroyed more than 1,600
tunnels since Morsi's ouster.
Austria was Working Against the
Jewish State
An
Austrian historian has documented the controversial role of the European
country in arming the military regime of former Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser, during the period between 1958 and
1969... (Austria has never apologized for its Nazi past
and is still highly anti-Semitic!)
Why has an Act of Decency Taken 70 Years?
A
Polish university is to reinstate academic qualifications on German Jews nearly
80 years after Nazis stripped them of their titles. Wroclaw University in south-west Poland will return the titles later this month in a
ceremony it hopes will bring belated justice to those who lost their
qualifications owing to Nazi Germany’s anti-Semitism. (Up
to 1945, when Europe’s borders were redrawn, Wroclaw was the German city of Breslau. Land annexation and “population
transfer”, in order to establish peace, was a norm then! It has only become
illegal after Israel won the war of Independence. “Population transfer”, under different
pretence, has still been routinely implemented - in Yugoslavia, Sudan, Iraq and Afghanistan - and the world never complains unless Israel attempts to remove terrorists from
Jewish land.)
Quote of the Week:
“Protests
against the recent terrorist attacks in France should have been held
in Muslim capitals, rather than Paris, because, in this
case, it is Muslims who are involved in this crisis and stand accused... The
story of extremism begins in Muslim societies, and it is with their support and
silence that extremism has grown into terrorism that is harming people... What
is required here is for Muslim communities to disown the Paris crime and Islamic
extremism in general.” - Abdul Rahman al-Rashed, one of the most
respected Arab journalists.
Too Many Terrorists to Watch
by Jamie Crawford, CNN
The colossal challenge confronting officials trying
to prevent and track an attack like the one in Paris boils down to this: There are too many
people to watch.
An estimated 5,000 French citizens are now under some
form of direct observation or surveillance by French security services because
of their involvement in various jihadist movements. But those 5,000 are just
the cases that French authorities know about…
And the issue grows exponentially across the European
continent when you take into account the estimated 3,000 fighters in Iraq and Syria that officials say come from various
European countries…
Some 200 French nationals have come back home after
fighting in Syria, some of them subsequently incarcerated for one reason or
another, but many others remain free because they have not yet crossed a legal
line…
Law enforcement officials in the United Kingdom
warned during this past holiday season that they felt they were short of the
necessary manpower needed to address the overall terror threat posed by people
they were watching in that country… (Too many
terrorists to watch - so the Western powers do almost nothing - No serious
imprisonments, No deportations of Islamic terrorists or Muslim criminal, No
barring return of terrorists from Syria or Iraq!)
