Selective Listening of Europeans
“Boycott is a very tough word. To boycott means to
completely block cooperation and trade between countries. We are not speaking
about such a boycott,” said Martin Schulz, president of the European
parliament, after receiving an honorary doctorate (bribe) at Hebrew University in
Jerusalem. Although, he acknowledged that there is a debate in Europe about
issuing consumer ‘guidelines’ to inform consumers about products that are
produced by Jewish companies in Judea and Samaria!
Economy Minister Naftali Bennett said Schulz must apologize for lying during his speech in the
Knesset. "Did he forget that we expelled 8,000 Jews from
Gaza? …Did he forget that (Gazans) shoot thousands of missiles at us?”
Europeans jump to criticize Israel without checking
facts, said Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu after European Parliament
President Martin Schulz cited inaccurate reports about Palestinian water usage
in his address to the Knesset.
The Prime Minister said that Schulz “suffers from
the same selective listening as many Europeans” in repeating a Palestinian claims... “Schulz admitted
that he didn’t check if what he said was true, but he still blamed us. People
accept any attack on Israel without checking it. They plug their ears,”
Netanyahu said. (Did Schulz publicly
apologize for his “selective listening” and using the Knesset platform, the
highest honor given him by the Jewish state, to lie and abuse Israel? Or, as
all anti-Semites, he thinks that it is beneath him to apologize to Jews!)
Iran’s leaders
celebrated the 35th anniversary of their Islamic revolution Tuesday, Feb.11,
with a torrent of hate rhetoric and threats surpassing even the crudely
belligerent language used by former President Ahmadinejad. While a mob burned
US and Israeli flags and stamped on placards depicting Obama, Khamenei called
for Israel’s extermination as a “cancerous growth” in the Middle East fit only
to be “eradicated.” Yet Barack Obama
opted not to react and demanded that Prime Minister Netanyahu follow suit. (Obama is
conducting humiliating policies in the Middle East and denies Israel the right
of self-defense!)
Policy of Defeat: Another US “Flip Flop”
The second round of the Geneva II conference on the Syrian conflict
opened on Monday, Feb. 10 - this time with a seat at the table for the Iranian
delegation provided by Washington. Last time the US banned Iranian
participation. This is another major Obama administration concession to Tehran.
For the first time, Iranian delegates took their seats around an international
conference table alongside the major powers.

That How Peace with Arabs Looks Like
Rachel's Tomb, the Jewish matriarch from the Torah, was hit by 200
terror attacks around 200 times in 2013. Massive Arab mobs frequently hurl
explosives at visitors, police and soldiers at the site - 119 explosives being
thrown in the course of 78 of the incidents. The 1993 Oslo Accords guaranteed
Jews prayer access to the site.
Attacks on
Kerry Are Unacceptable?
The State Department once again took Israel to task for criticizing
Secretary of State John Kerry’s efforts to achieve (fake) peace. “Any rhetoric that is
inaccurate and critical as this is unhelpful. These kinds of attacks are
unacceptable. They not only distort his record but they distract from the key
issues at hand,” said State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki. (But attacks by so-called friends on Israel foreign Minister, Lieberman,
and other Jewish national figures, as well as the unjustifiable pressure Israel
has been subjected since the proclamation of independence are OK?)
“I told minister Livni in Munich recently that we won’t change our
history, culture and religion,” Erekat, head of the PA negotiating team, said.
“We are not going to recognize Israel as a Jewish state.” The announcement came
in response to statements attributed to Justice Minister Tzipi Livni to the
effect that the PA is ready to recognize Israel as a Jewish state. But Erekat
told the Voice of Palestine radio station that the Palestinians would not
recognize Israel as a Jewish state. (Livni,
following her idiotic political agenda of national betrayal, is deliberately
lying to Jews of Israel about the intention of the enemy!)
The
Israeli-Made Sochi Security System
An Israeli company, NICE Systems, deployed a network of security
platforms at the Sochi Olympic Games, a real-time “integration system
platform” that takes points of data - video
images, radio communications, phone calls, access control alarms - and blends
it all into a single operating system that interacts with all of that.
It's Ok to Hits Back at and Ignore US
After US Secretary of State John Kerry expresses disapproval of French
business delegation to Iran, French FM Laurent Fabius denies that trip is
'business as usual'. The French delegation is the latest in a string of foreign
trade missions to beat a path to Tehran since the November deal. Late last
month, a large delegation visited from fellow NATO member Turkey, headed by
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. (Any
country is entitled to have its own foreign policy and has the right to rebuke
‘suggestions’ made even by the United states, as long as it is not Israel!)
Liberman
is a Political Prostitute
Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman, who lives in the Judean community of
Nokdim, said that he would be willing to be evicted from his home as part of a
peace deal that would establish a state of “Palestine” alongside Israel.
Israel Must Do What Enemies are Expecting
Official Iranian state-run media has released
several false reports in recent days using fabricated quotes purportedly from
an Israeli minister vowing to destroy the Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. Iran’s
Fars TV website quoted another state-run Iranian media outlet, Al-Alam, as
reporting that, “Ariel called on Friday for the construction of what he claimed
as ‘the Third Temple’ to replace the holy site (Al Aqsa Mosque).” The next day,
Iran’s Press TV reported, “Saudi Arabia is supporting the Israeli regime in its
plan to replace the holy al-Aqsa Mosque with a temple.”
Gutless
Governments are Shame of Israel!
The government decided that it would pay $20 million to the families of
nine Turks killed on the Mavi Maramara in 2010, who were members of Islamist
groups that supported Hamas. They were killed after they attacked IDF soldiers
who boarded the Marmara, in accordance with international maritime law. (When will Israeli politicians learn self-respect? Israel does not need
fake normalization of ties with the Islamic state of Turkey.)
War on Terror: Terrorists Do a Good Job Themselves
At least 22 Iraqi terrorists
died during a training exercise after a commander instructing would-be suicide
bombers accidentally detonated himself. (All suicide bombers should practice with real bombs first.)
Quotes of the Week:
"UNRWA is perpetuating the notion that the
descendants of refugees are themselves refugees, and it is based on this
principle that the Palestinians are demanding the right of return, something
that will not happen in any future agreement. The main point is that UNRWA is
entirely supported by Western countries whose official policy is to aim for a
two-state solution..." - Einat Wilf, former Israeli Labor
MK - Even some Avoda (Labor) apparatchiks have
realized the idiocy of the existence of UNRWA and fallacy of the two-state solution.
Iran’s leaders
celebrated the 35th anniversary of their Islamic revolution Tuesday, Feb.11,
with a torrent of hate rhetoric and threats surpassing even the crudely
belligerent language used by former President Ahmadinejad.
A
common theme of their speeches to the masses was threats to the United States
and Israel of defeat and annihilation at the hands of the invincible Iranian army,
following the first deployment of Iranian warships - the helicopter carrier
Khark and Sabalan guided missile destroyer - near America’s Atlantic shores.
As
his audience burned US and Israeli flags and stamped on placards depicting
President Obama, President Hassan Rouhani intoned: “I say to those delusional
people who say the military option is on the table that they should change
their eye glasses.” His meaning was clear to his mass audience: Iran no longer
faces any military threats, either from the United States or Israel.
The
Iranian officer pressed on to suggest “the Americans” were cowards, who “cannot
hide themselves in the sea since the entire Middle East region, Western Europe,
the Persian Gulf, the Sea of Oman and the Straits of Hormuz are monitored by
us!”
After
Iran’s military test-fired two long-range missiles Monday - one with
radar-evading capabilities; the other laser-guided for firing from the ground
or the air - Defense Minister Gen. Hossein Dehqan crowed that Iran now had
missiles with multiple warheads able to penetrate the anti-missile defenses of
the enemy (America and Israel).
Many
of the insiders in President Barack Obama’s circle preferred to dismiss these
menacing speeches as no more than whistling in the dark by men frightened of
their own shadows.
At
the same time, the White House and State Department hastened to appeal to Prime
Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to ignore the Iranian belligerent rhetoric and keep
his ministers quiet too. (All the recent US international initiatives
have failed grossly. Instead of admitting it and changing direction, Obama is continuously
pressuring Israel to compromise its national security!)
Iran: Nuclear Detonators are for
Civilian Applications?
Iran agreed
to clarify to the UN atomic agency its need for detonators used in nuclear
devices. The IAEA believes they form "an integral part of a programme to
develop an implosion type nuclear device.” Iran told the agency in 2008 that it
had developed EBWs for "civilian and conventional military
applications". (It is like saying that you need a telescope to look at a
photograph of your family!)
