Thuggery
Respects Nothing.
1. Hamas members
stole a Nobel Peace prize from the Gaza City house of former PA Chairman Yasser
Arafat. The prize was awarded to Arafat for his role in the Oslo Accords
(Better known now as an ‘Oslo War’).
2. Hamas thugs
broke into a Greek Orthodox church in Gaza, stole its contents, and set on fire
an adjacent monastery. They also attacked a school for nuns.
3. Islamists in
Gaza destroyed a cement statue for the Unknown Soldier, a memorial to
Palestinian and Egyptian soldiers killed in the fight against Israel in 1948,
because they see the depiction as a violation of strict religious laws.
4. Seven Arab
youths were arrested for lighting several fires in the Ein Yael forest in the
southern part of Jerusalem.
Remembering One
of the Greatest Jews. Jews around the
world are commemorating the 13th anniversary of the death of the Lubavitcher
Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson. He is generally known simply as the
Rebbe. The seventh leader of the Chabad-Lubavitch dynasty, he is described as
"the one individual more than any other singularly responsible for
stirring the conscience and spiritual awakening of world Jewry."

Humanity
Prevails. In spite of Hamas
intention, Israel allowed the transfer of more than 840 tons of flour, meat and
other foodstuffs, as well as 24,000 gallons of milk and 6,600 gallons of
cooking oil this week. It also has kept up sales of fuel and maintained the
supply of electricity and water. (In
return Israel has been receiving rockets!)
Food for Thought.
by Steven
Shamrak
Over 70% of Gaza residents
support Hamas which, as does the Fatah movement, aims to destroy Israel. Isn’t
it the time to end Arab occupation of the Jewish lands, starting with Gaza?
Just suppressing Hamas in Gaza will not stop terror, but prolong it. Swift
ejection of a hostile population, from the all of Gaza to Sinai, is the only
viable option! Everything else has already been tried and failed.
The
Glimpse of the Future! - Christians can
only continue living safely in Gaza if they accept Islamic law, including a ban
on alcohol and on women roaming publicly without proper head coverings. Christians
in Gaza who engage in "missionary activity" will be "dealt with
harshly," "I expect our Christian neighbours to understand the new
Hamas rule means real changes. They must be ready for Islamic rule if they want
to live in peace in Gaza," said Sheik Abu Saqer, leader of Jihadia
Salafiya. The threats come two days after a church and Christian school in Gaza
were attacked following the seizure of power by the Hamas terror group.
Never
Ending Stupidity. Ehud Olmert, the Israeli prime minister, said that
Israel (him) would be
prepared to take more risks for peace with the (Arab) Palestinians
now that Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president, had formed a (illegal) government
without Hamas. Promising to bolster Abbas, whose Fatah forces (the
same blood-thirsty terrorists) were routed by the Islamist Hamas group
in the Gaza Strip, Olmert said: "We will cooperate with this government (which
is seeking annihilation Israel), we will defreeze monies that we kept
under our control because we did not want these monies to be taken by Hamas to
be used as part of a terrorist action" (Is
freeing other funds for terror better option?)
Game
of Inhumane Cruelty. Pro Al Quaida group kidnapped a British
correspondent Alan Johnston three months ago and threatened on Sunday to kill
him (again) in a video broadcast by the Al-Jazeera satellite TV channel, after
Islam Shahwan, a spokesman for Hamas' militia, made empty promises that
Johnston would be freed "very soon." (About
a month ago, the group announced that it had killed Johnston. Now Hamas, in
order to show its ‘humane face’, is gloating and playing a cruel psychological
game!)
Transfer PA Cash
to Negev Residents, not Fatah. MK Aryeh Eldad (National Union-NRP) called
upon the government to take the tax money it intends to transfer to Fatah and
instead give it to residents of the western Negev in order to protect their
homes and rehabilitate their businesses. “We are talking about justified war
reparations instead of transferring more money to terrorism,” Eldad said.
Why
Tel-Aviv is not Enough? Thousands of religious Jews demonstrated
in Jerusalem last week against planned gay parade in Jerusalem. Around 10,000
people attended, - and it was relatively calm for such a heated issue. A
smaller demonstration was also held in Bnei Brak. (Why
is the self-hate so strong that it requires the desecration of the Jewish
holiest city?)
Synagogue
Hit by Qassam rocket. Two people were wounded and a synagogue
damaged in a fresh barrage of Qassam rocket-fire on Sderot last Wednesday
night. Islamic Jihad said the rockets were new and improved versions of Hamas’s
Qassam, and called "al-Kuds," the Islamic name for Jerusalem. (As
usual, no condemnation by UN Human Rights Council.)
The Same Old
Game. Members of the UN's new human rights watchdog on
Tuesday formally agreed to continue their scrutiny of Israel while halting
investigations into Cuba and Belarus. The second move calls for Israel's
activities in the Palestinian territories to be permanently reviewed until it
withdraws from the West Bank. (Genocide by Sudan in Darfur,
human rights abuse by Hamas in Gaza; neither concerns the international
anti-Semitic puppets!)
Quote of the Week:
"The
Palestinians are like crocodiles, the more you give them meat, they want more.” - Ehud Barak, Prime Minister of
Israel at the time - August 28, 2000, Reported in the Jerusalem Post.
Syria
Getting Ready for War. Russia has begun delivering five MiG-31E
jets under a US$1 billion deal. The contract with Syria will be the first
export deal for the MiG-31E, an interceptor fighter capable of flying at nearly
three times the speed of sound and simultaneously shooting several targets at
ranges of over 110 miles away. Syrian parliament member Muhammad Habash
confirmed that Syria is indeed engaged in active preparations for a war with
Israel, saying that the Syrian government has removed the Government and State
Archives from the Damascus area. (Arabs do not joke about
war!)
EU is still Paying Hamas
Salaries. An EU aid program plans to
continue making payments to tens of thousands of Palestinian government workers
and pensioners in Gaza, EU officials said on Sunday. The EU's Temporary
International Mechanism provides allowances to more than 77,000 government
workers and pensioners, 60% in the West Bank and 40% in Gaza.
Katyushas
are Fired from Lebanon. Three Katyusha rockets were fired against
Kiryat Shemona from Wadi Taiba Sunday, June 17th, by an Arab Palestinian
terrorist group called Ansar Allah based in near Sidon, Lebanon. This was
ordered by Syrian military intelligence as the first in a series. Hizballah
intelligence officers supplied the rockets and pinpointed the launching site to
make sure they struck the Israeli town. (Israel
must free Jewish land from Arab occupation. There is not one who can be
negotiated with. If not Fatah, Hamas, etc, there will always be many other Arab
terror groups to fight Israel!) Two rockets were fired from
Hamas controlled Gaza on Sunday morning, wounding three and damaging two
houses. (While Olmert is making ‘gestures’ to
the PA again!)
PLO
Kidnapping Cell is Busted. Israel has arrested 12 members of a cell
that planned to kidnap American citizens in Judea and Samaria. The cell from
the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a PLO faction. The cell also
planned to attack a synagogue in Modiin, a town of 60,000 between Jerusalem and
Tel Aviv.
One or Four States Solution – Part3.
by Steven Shamrak
For some
sinister reason, the international press, guided by hypocritical international,
political and business interests is portraying Fatah as a moderate alternative
to Hamas. People have forgotten the killing of the Israelis athletes during the
Munich Olympic games and string of plane and ship hijackings perpetrated by
Fatah in the past. The existing endless suicide bombings and the barrages of
Qassam rocket and shells sent toward Israel by the military wing of Fatah are
ignored or played down.
In reality there
is no difference between Hamas, Fatah or any other so-called Palestinian
organization. For quite a while the Palestinian National Charter - the official
PLO doctrine - has not been checked.
Make a decision yourself if this is a "moderate" organization
which accepts a two state solution, recognizes Israel and rejects violence and
terrorism.
Article 2:
Palestine, with the boundaries it had during the British Mandate, is an
indivisible territorial unit. - This is in line with the League of Nations
resolution for Palestinian mandate as the land was allocated for the Jewish
state and it did include Jordan!
Article 9: Armed
struggle is the only way to liberate Palestine. Thus it is the overall
strategy, not merely a tactical phase…
Article 10:
Commando action constitutes the nucleus of the Palestinian popular liberation
war… During the last 56 years, all peace options, except for a Jewish one, have
been tried many times! They produce only an escalation of violence and terror,
not just for Jews but for Arabs as well. One
solution – the Jewish state, as it was designated by League of Nations, on the
Jewish ancestral land is the only option that can bring peace and end to the
conflict. Why is it systematically ignored? Why is the creation of Eretz-Israel
considered as extreme, but the facilitation of Israel’s destruction, through
giving up Jewish land to enemies, not?
