Paradox
(Craziness) of Jewish State Politics
Five Ulpana buildings in Bethel will be evacuated and removed. No ministers voted
against the bill for overruling the High Court order to remove them by July 1
after Netanyahu threatened to fire cabinet members who voted against the
government. Many of the bill proponents were cowardly absent. Netanyahu had
called for members of the Knesset to reject the bill, voted down by 69 votes to
22 on Wednesday, in fear that it could have
prompted an international backlash. But
later Netanyahu said that he would not allow people to “use the legal system to
harm the settlement movement," and announced plans to add 300 new homes to
Beit El. (There
will be always anti-Israel ‘outcries’ as long as Israel continues to live in fear as a ‘ghetto Jew’ and
unwilling to pursue Jewish national goals!)
Housing Minister Ariel Atias
announced on Wednesday (same day) that his ministry will market land for the purpose
of building 551 new housing units in Judea and Samaria (Yehuda and Shomron).
According to Atias’ announcement, 117 units will be
marketed in Ariel, 92 housing units in Ma'aleh Adumim, 144 housing units in Adam, 114 units in Efrat, and 84 units in Kiryat Arba. The 551 housing units in Judea and Samaria will be
marketed in addition to the 300 units that have already been announced for Beit El. (One Israeli
demonstrator said that he will never understand the Israeli government's
bizarre actions)
Food for Thought. by
Steven Shamrak
Anti-Semitism is expressed
in many various hidden ways. One of them is: “All Jews are rich, they can
afford it!” For example, my local supermarket, in the current weak economy, is
helping customers by discounting ample numbers of items marked “Price down” or
“Special” in all sections, except in either of the two “Kosher” sections!
Turkey Betrays Syrian ‘Rebels’
Turkey has just turned away from its 14-month support for
the anti-Assad revolt alongside the West and made common cause with Russia, i.e. Bashar Assad. Erdogan’s
betrayal was confirmed when Davutoglu announced over
Turkish NTV: “We have never advised either the Syrian National Council or the
Syrian administration to conduct an armed fight, and we will never do so.” He
added: “The Syrian people will be the driving force that eventually topples the
Syrian regime. Assad will leave as a result of the people’s will.” (Sounds like the founder of the Soviet Union, V. I. Lenin, who said “Politics is the
biggest prostitute!”)
Obama is Another ‘Friendly’ to Israel President
The US President Barack Obama continued a
long-standing US policy of exercising the “security” waiver allowing him to ignore a Congressional law that
the US embassy be relocated to Jerusalem. The 1995 law requires the embassy to be located in the capital unless
the president decides that doing so would endanger national security. Every
American president has exercised the waiver but no detailed explanation has
been offered as to why moving the embassy would endanger US security. (The US
government claims to be a friend of Israel. Friends support friends by actions
unconditionally! Hypocrites pretend and ignore their own law just to please
enemies of Israel.)
Arab Hate - When will Jews Learn?
An
Arab who fathered a baby with a Jewish woman rejected keeping him six months
later. He brought the boy to the mother, who had fled, and said, “This boy is
Jewish. I don’t want him.” The bizarre story was revealed by the
anti-missionary Yad L'Achim organisation, which also works to rescue Jewish
women from Arab homes where they are often held captive. The case fell into
limbo until last March, when a woman in southern Israel told Yad L’Achim that
her daughter feared for her life and had managed to escape from an Arab village
but had to leave behind her six-month old boy. But the Arab suddenly changed his
mind and surprised the mother by appearing at her parents' house with the baby.
(There is no international media frenzy in relation
to this story!)
Procrastination Only Helps Iran
US President Barack Obama has again
persuaded Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to hold off attacking Iran’s nuclear program in the coming months by
promising a new set of tough sanctions against Iran. This time the Obama administration’s
promised to impose an air and sea blockade on Iran, failing progress at the Moscow nuclear talks.
Arab Spring has Produced Results
Egypt has ceased the
production of a film for allegedly promoting the normalisation of relations
with Israel. Mohamed Kenawy who wrote the film’s script, denied the accusation
and said the film, titled Regheef Aish (Loaf of Bread), promotes peace and
cooperation among all people regardless of sex, race and religion. (There is no place for peace and cooperation in the
Islamic ‘revolution’)
Obama Stuck in Arab Spring Mud
After the UN gridlock on the Syrian crisis, an American delegation
headed by Fred Hoff drew a blank in talks at the Russian Foreign Ministry in Moscow Friday, June 8, with
Syrian expert, Mikhail Bogdanov. Russia
flatly rejected President Barack Obama’s proposal to post 5,000 armed UN
monitors in Syria, most of them Russian troops. Moscow and Tehran calculate that the
higher the flames of civil war in Syria,
the more the US will be blamed for the bloodshed. They therefore refuse to join any
international effort to stop it.
Politics of
Rejection of Peace and Blackmail
Palestinian Authority
Chairman Mahmoud Abbas warned on Friday that he may seek non-member status for a
Palestinian state at the United Nations if peace talks with Israel do not
resume (which he continuously rejects). The
PA currently has observer status at the UN and an upgrade by the General
Assembly to “non-member” would give Palestine recognition as a “state”. This
could open the way for PA Arabs to take legal action against Israelis through
the International Criminal Court. (This is not the
first time the PA has violated the spirit of the Oslo Accords.)
Obama Lying About Stuxnet
Israeli
officials who were placed at risk by the Obama administration's leaks about the
Stuxnet virus are disputing American claims that the cyber-weapon was jointly
developed by the U.S. and Israel. Rather, they say, Israeli intelligence first
started developing cyberspace warfare against Iran, only convincing the US -
with some difficulty - to join in. The Israelis allege that President Barack
Obama claimed credit for Stuxnet to boost his re-election campaign.
IAEA Ends Iran Talks with no Progress
New talks between Iran
and the UN's atomic watchdog agency have failed to result in a deal allowing
greater access to Iran's contested nuclear program. "There has been no
progress," IAEA chief inspector Herman Nackaerts told journalists.
"Iran raised issues that we have already discussed and added new ones.
This is disappointing."
Quote of the Week:
“The Stupid Left wants a
Palestinian state because it thinks that such a state will pursue peace
alongside Israel.
The Satanic Left wants a Palestinian state precisely because it knows such a
state will launch a war of destruction against Israel
and endless atrocities against the Jews. The Stupid Left thinks that Israel
mistreats Arabs. It does not (want to) know that Arab regimes mistreat Arabs… The
reason it (Satanic Left) wants Israel
destroyed is not because it thinks Israel
is unjust, but rather because it hates Jews.” - by
Prof. Steven Plaut - Calling the Left “Stupid” to face is
not helpful but could be used as a starting point to provoke reality check. The
problem of self-hate among Jews is chronic and symptomatic to assimilation - “I
am not like other Jews”. It must be addressed thoroughly by Jewish leadership. Promoting
Jewish national pride is a good starting point!
Israel is Treated
as a ‘Ghetto Jew’.
by Steven Shamrak.
Most of the time when a complex issue or subject is
discussed a variety of opinions and emotions are expressed. We debate them and
listen to the opposite opinions and ideas in an attempt to find some
understanding or solution. It is not always that the decision of the majority
is the right one. In international politics, when all parties involved in the
discussion of the complex issue have articulated and supported the same point
of view it is most probably the wrong one and, expressed under duress, common fear
or biased attitude toward the subject under discussion with disregard to the
facts and disrespect towards one or all parties involved.
Out of more than two hundred countries there isn’t a
single voice that would say: “Wait a minute, Israel has been under terrorist attacks for many months and
years.” Most of Israel’s neighbours have refused to recognise her right to exist for over 60 years. Israel desires to live in peace and is prepared to
sacrifice a lot just for the sake of the piece of paper that would guarantee
her a peaceful existence. Israel is condemned, but the Arab states that constantly
reject peace with Israel and created terrorist infrastructures and are instigators of terror attacks
against Israel and Western countries are not! Something is not quite
kosher here!
Why are different standards used? Don’t you think Israel deserves to be treated as equal among equals? Don’t
you think there are legitimate historical, legal and moral rights for Israel to determine her own future?” I am still waiting for
answers from Israel haters.
Just imagine the reaction of Indonesia if it was told to “Leave West Papua”. What about the
United
Kingdom
and its occupation of Northern Ireland? Spain and France still refuse to even consider a legitimate call for
independence of the Basque people. Land occupied by over 25 millions Kurds is
divided among five Muslim countries with no hope for independence. All of them
have legitimate claims for independence, unlike the fake Arab-Palestinian
nation.
The most amazing thing about this situation is that,
living in an environment of continuous war and terror created by her neighbours, Israel has managed to build a true democracy in the neighbourhood of dictatorships. In the deserts and swamps Israel's
strong, arguably,
world-leading economy is built. At the same time Israel's neighbours still ride
their economies “on the back of the camel” and those who have oil have not done
much for the good of humanity or even for the future of their own people.
The Arab-Israel conflict is a complex issue. Too many
people, countries and organisations are expressing
their opinion without full knowledge of historic and legal facts, or even having
a modicum interest or consideration for the facts. They form their opinions on
deeply imbedded hypocrisy, xenophobic anti-Semitism and politico-economic fear
of blackmail by oil producing Arab countries.
