Another day another attempt by Arab Muslim to murder Jews in Israel

Side-note: I was away, I'm still busy and expect to be blogging very little until probably October.

One might say that all these 'Palestinians' are doing in life is plot murder of Jews. Frankly, I wouldn't give this particular dirty terrorist a death penalty, I'd just run over him with a taxi and stab him a couple of times. See if he survives that. But no worry, his family will be well paid with US, EU and UN funds by the murderous Palestinian authority. That's a dose of reality for you.

Terrorist was trying to get to the kids

Guards recall how they subdued terrorist who attacked Tel Aviv night club, frequented by teens: 'He had murder in his eyes; it could have been a bloodbath'

This is the type of terror against Jews by Arabs that the victims in Norway justified days before the horrible slaughter.

Gaddafi shot dead? Update: Nope! Confirmed captured? Fog of chaos...

Via twitter

UNCONFIRMED RT @MalikAlAbdeh: Receiving unconfirmed report from #Tripoli that #Gaddafi himself has been shot dead. Repeat: shot dead

You know who else aught to be shot dead right now? Anyone holding a weapon and aiming it at Israel from Gaza. Unimaginable continued terror and barely any coverage.

Israel is forced to sit it out to appease insanely hateful Muslim crowds at Cairo. Is Obama and US forcing a million Israelis into shelters so that the Arab spring can continue unabated, or is leader-less Egypt so eager to open a war with Israel if it takes back Gaza?

(Posted while away, not expecting to post much else this week - although there's plenty to post about)

Update: Dead or not, Libya is no longer in Gadaffi's hands, and Tripoly is won, Video (via IsraelMatzav)


How long have western media been embedded to such an extent with the mysterious rebels?

Update II:

Again, twitter:

ICC PROSECUTOR'S SPOKESWOMAN SAYS HAS CONFIRMATION GADDAFI HAS BEEN DETAINED

Update III: Latest reports say old Gaddafi not captured, not shot dead... these people, with official position - aren't ashamed to make up lies on twitter. Is it part of the disinformation tactic, to let the enemy think something so that they won't fight? But for that, you'd have to have Libyan Gadaffi loyal forces scan twitter for shit. Seriously, I doubt THAT's what they were doing...

Hitting the Pause button

I'll be away for a bit more than a week, and will probably not add any posts until back.

While I wish everyone safety and calm, with recent escalation I doubt it will be so.

All the best and keep safe.


PS. And I hope you get to taste a good Israeli shawarma soon... Bete-avon

Israel takes out terror head who ordered today's massacre, terror event continues with 2 more wounded, Gaza fires rockets at Israeli civilians

And Iron Dome to be redeployed, expecting dozen more attempts to fire rockets at Israeli civilians. Ground action to follow unprecedented escalation?

* IDF strikes Gaza in wake of deadly terror attacks; senior Palestinian militant killed

* Terror continues: Two gravely hurt by fresh gunfire hours after deadly attacks

* Iron Dome intercepts at least 1 rocket fired at Ashkelon

* Iron Dome missile defense system to return to Beersheba

* Palestinians: IAF planes drop leaflets in Rafah, Philadelphi route

* IDF chief: More events taking place in field

* Report: Israeli air strike kills chief of Gaza's PRC group

* Netanyahu: The people who gave the order to murder our civilians and hid in Gaza are no longer alive (Hebrew)


Wounded evacuated after RPG launched at civilian bus.

IDF choppers and ground troops still hunting terrorists, some killed on Egyptian side of border

Via YNet's Hebrew news-flash-updates:

Large IDF forces, aided by air force, continue scanning for rest of terrorists who took part in today's terror attack near Eilat. Until now, in encounters, IDF soldiers killed seven terrorists, some on the Egyptian side of the border.

Estimates are there are still three to eight terrorists on the loose.

Netanyahu: The terrorist attack in the south is a breach of our sovereignty - we will retaliate accordingly

Via twitter

Retaliate against who, when, how strongly, and to what extent? What if this attack is more Al-Queda/Sinai based than Gaza - what kind of retaliation then?

Is this a new chapter in history being written?

Major terror attack in Israel, at least 5 dead, multiple scenes, Israel to retaliate stronger against Gaza?

When exactly will Ehud Barak order the ground assault to take out Hamas in Gaza?

* Barak: IDF will hunt down perpetrators of Eilat attack

* Children among dead

Image from Channel 2, on IDF spokesperson site. Civilian bus where most civilian casualties and injured by Arab Muslim Terrorists
* Six killed in series of terrorist attacks in southern Israel

Several killed, dozens wounded after armed gunmen fired on bus traveling near Eilat, close to Egypt border; IDF and trades fire with gunmen; mortars are fired from Egyptian border; IDF kills several terrorists.

* Eilat: Ovda Airport closed due to terror attacks - was part of the attack against US/Israeli air-forces in Ovda?

* Report: Hamas evacuates security forces HQs fearing Israel's reaction - STOP BOMBARDING EMPTY BUILDINGS! TAKE THEM OUT! Finish the job.

* Barak: Terror attacks originate in Gaza - I can only guess, the orders came out of Syria and Gaza, the perpetrators were Israeli and Egyptian Arabs.

* Terror attacks: PM holds security assessments - Current Al-Qaeda controlled Sinai, and lack of Egyptian strong government invokes chaos, Israel has to treat entire south area as an on-going war zone from here on. Is this a return to the attrition war? At least we know that for now, Egyptian military isn't mobilized against Israel. For now.

* Evidence on terrorists bodies prove attack came from Gaza

* IDF had intelligence of an upcoming attack pending by groups waiting in Sinai (Hebrew)

Israeli lefty op-ed on YNet promotes lies against Glenn Beck (Is Soros pulling some strings?)

Trying to convince Israelis to not support a pro-Israel event?

News-Flash: Beck was not fired. Beck isn't using Israel to "get on top". It's ludicrous, and idiotic to publish blatant lies. YNet has sunk as low as a toilet paper can sink.

Glenn Beck exploiting Israel

Op-ed: Fired Fox commentator intends to use Israel as prop in his effort to get back on top

...

Tolerance for anti-Semitism

Among the reasons mainstream Americans do not like Beck is his insensitive exploitation of the Holocaust
and Nazism to smear his opponents. Most recently, this ugly insensitivity extended to the Norwegian campers who were killed in the Oslo terrorist attack. Because the camp was sponsored by Norway’s Labor Party, Beck likened the murdered kids to the “Hitler Youth.” This slur was reminiscent of Beck’s attacks on the Jewish billionaire, George Soros, who survived the Holocaust as a teenager.

Beck, who hates Soros’ liberal economic views, said that the Jewish Soros was a Nazi collaborator rather than a Nazi victim. (Imagine, anyone saying that about a 14 year old child; of course some of the Oslo campers were 14, too!)

...

Why - it's Soros propaganda lies, spread by Israeli News Paper.

Here are some simple facts:

A. Soros hates Israel and operates against it and in favor of Hamas. Everything Beck said about him is true and documented.

B. Glenn Beck does support Israel and in no way promoted Anti-Semitism.

Israelis, you pick your friend. Self proclaimed haters or lovers of Israel.

With friends like these... Democrat Senator seeks cut off funding to IDF elite units, to appease Palestinian groups, UPDATED

UPDATE: Leahy spokes person denies targeting Israeli units, only states it might affect.

I do hope American Jews would start noticing who sits besides them in the Democratic party. Democrats have and had congress representatives who support HAMAS and CAIR, who oppose Israel on every issue, a president who humiliates Israel's PM, a VP who goes on a 'make enemies' trip to Israel, and then there's Patrick Leahy. A hypocrite to the 10th degree who supposedly is buying into Palestinian propaganda and seeks to eliminate US funds aiding IDF's elite units.

Facts? What facts? This guy simply decided to find new allies, those who support Hamas terrorists.

I have not dug too deep into Leahy's history, but this pattern of sympathy to Palestinians-Terrorists (see link above) surely can't be anything new. Ehud Barak's long-time friend?

U.S. Senator seeks to cut aid to elite IDF units operating in West Bank and Gaza

Senator Patrick Leahy claims Shayetet 13 unit, undercover Duvdevan unit, and the Israel Air Force Shaldag unit are involved in human rights violations in occupied territories.

U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy is promoting a bill to suspend U.S. assistance to three elite Israel Defense Forces units, alleging they are involved in human rights violations in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

Leahy, a Democrat and senior member of the U.S. Senate, wants assistance withheld from the Israel Navy's Shayetet 13 unit, the undercover Duvdevan unit and the Israel Air Force's Shaldag unit.

Defense Minister Ehud Barak, a long-time friend of Leahy's, met with him in Washington two weeks ago to try to persuade him to withdraw the initiative.

According to a senior Israeli official in Jerusalem, Leahy began promoting the legislation in recent months after he was approached by voters in his home state of Vermont.

A few months ago, a group of pro-Palestinian protesters staged a rally across from Leahy's office, demanding that he denounce the killing by Shayetet 13 commandos of nine Turkish activists who were part of the flotilla to Gaza last May.

Leahy, who heads the Senate Appropriations Committee's sub-committee on foreign operations, was the principle sponsor of a 1997 bill prohibiting the United States from providing military assistance or funding to foreign military units suspected of human rights abuses or war crimes. The law also stipulates that the U.S. Defense Department screen foreign officers and soldiers who come to the United States for training for this purpose.

Leahy wants the new clause to become a part of the U.S. foreign assistance legislation for 2012, placing restrictions on military assistance to Israel, particularly to those three units.

Leahy says these units are responsible for harming innocent Palestinian civilians and that no system of investigation is in place to ensure that their members are not committing human rights violations. According to Leahy's proposal, U.S. military assistance to Israel would be subject to the same restrictions that apply to countries such as Egypt, Pakistan and Jordan.

Hmmm... lefties don't care to notice that Israeli soldiers are constantly under legal review, and supposed 'innocent victims' have recourse and have taken advantage of it. Facts/Schmacts.

You know what a Democratic party under increasing suspicion of duplicity in its support for Israel's security needs? More anti-Israel agenda.

Israelis are grateful for the bi-partisan support they receive from the American public. Definitely, from American politicians as well. It has become apparent that things are changing here, and like I said, I do hope American Jewish Democrats would pay attention as well.

Beck irks Israelis calling popular protests 'communists'

I'd say the protest is initiated by, lead by, claimed by - far leftists, most probably with ties to Soros (see prior post). But I keep reading posts on facebook by former class-mates who attend the protests, not out of communist agenda, but by will to protest hardship for middle class to get by in a very high cost-of-living environment.

Ramadan is an explosive month in Iraq: More than 70 dead just today

I personally blame Bush, and think that Islam has nothing to do with it. (SARC!!!)

More than 70 killed in attacks across Iraq

More than 70 people were killed and dozens more were wounded Monday in a string of violent attacks around Iraq, one of the deadliest days in the country so far this year, police and government officials said.

In the worst incident, two bombs exploded in a busy market in the city center of Kut, killing at least 37 and injuring more than 50.

Car bombs also detonated in the northern city of Kirkuk and the pricey Mansour district of Baghdad. Elsewhere, AK-47 wielding assailants targeted anti-terror leaders in Diyala Province northeast of Baghdad.

The attacks came after a period of relative quiet in the country, which had descended as the Muslim holy month of Ramadan began in early August.

Lt. Col. Hachem Neama Abbas, an Iraqi army commander in Baghdad, said the military had been bracing for a new round of violence. The attacks, he said, are proof that insurgents still pose a threat to the country’s stability. They also raise questions about the Iraqi government’s ability to maintain security as American troops prepare to leave the country by December.

“This wave of explosions and attacks is evidence that al-Qaeda is still effective,” Abbas said.

Iraq is debating whether or not to ask a small contingent of U.S. forces to stay past the deadline, but no official request has been made yet, U.S. officials have said.

A spokesman for the U.S. military in Iraq, Major Angela L. Funaro, said that while it was too early to speculate on the groups behind the day's violence, it was “eerily similar” to a large-scale attack last year during Ramadan. Then, al-Qaeda insurgents targeted checkpoints and Iraqi forces in several cities, killing at least 53.

Israel hater fired by HuffPo and Channel Four due to support for London riots

It seems lefties draw the line for support of violence not when it comes to violence against Jews in Israel, but rather when it comes to Footlocker and Marks&Spencer.

Lefties should take a long look in the mirror, this IS what they support - anarchy, violence, pain. It's just oh-so-chummy when it is mainly directed at Jews.

This is a repeat of the hypocrisy of Norwegians, support for terrorist attack on
Jews? Yes, support for same such irrational murder spree against those who support terror on Jews, not so much.

Jody McIntyre Dumped by HuffPo and Channel Four

It just gets worse for Jody McIntyre, the anti-Israel activist fired from his blogger position at The Independent over tweets inciting UK rioters.
In an interview with the Huffington Post, McIntyre was asked whether the Footlocker shoe store was a valid target for rioters:

On a personal level I think Brixton police station would be a better target than Footlocker….I find it very difficult to condemn the looting myself. I feel sympathy when small cornershops and people’s homes are damaged but I don’t feel any sympathy for JD Sports or M&S [Marks & Spencer].

The Huffington Post has now pulled the interview and replaced it with:

Editor’s Note: The Huffington Post’s editorial policy prohibits the promotion of incitement to riot. It has been brought to our attention that some of the comments made by the interviewee in this article could be construed as inciting others to take part in unlawful activity.

As such, we have removed this post.

McIntyre was also due to have his own show on the UK’s Channel Four. That’s now been canceled as well.
Never mind Jody… I’m sure you’ll still have the respect of your Israel-hating comrades. And just to be clear in case you are looking for someone to blame for your current difficulties – the so-called “Israel Lobby” had absolutely nothing to do with it.

Flotilla Non-Jews pretend to be Jews while bashing Israel

Interesting op-ed, why exactly are Anti-Semites working on behalf of Hamas pretending to be Jews? IMHO - to achieve a few goals:

A. Silence the claims that they are in-fact anti-semites.
B. Try to grab appeal of feeble minded bleeding hearts who will buy any argument. (Haaretz readers)
C. Pretend it's about Israel and not about Jews

Why do non-Jews bashing Israel claim to be Jewish?(JPost)
By BENJAMIN WEINTHAL, JERUSALEM POST CORRESPONDENT

Analysis: American student Gabriel Matthew Schivone allegedly falsified identity to participate in latest flotilla to Gaza

Defending his participation in the latest flotilla operation in an attempt to break Israel’s naval blockade of Hamas-controlled Gaza, Gabriel Matthew Schivone, an American university student, stressed in a late June Ha’aretz opinion piece that he is one of a growing number of young American Jews seeking to disassociate himself from Israel.

There is, however, a rather large factual wrinkle with Schivone’s account – he appears to have falsified his Jewish identity.

Writing in an August letter to the editor in Ha’aretz,Valerie Saturen, a pro-Palestinian activist and acquaintance of Schivone, noted, “In his editorial about joining the flotilla to Gaza, Gabriel Schivone represented himself as a Jewish college student. I feel I must point out that this is not his true identity, but one he has created in order to generate insider credibility, shield himself from accusations of anti-Semitism, and resonate with a target audience.

“Gabriel is not Jewish, whether in terms of ethnic ancestry, religious belief or cultural identity. He has never identified as a Jew until it became useful in advancing his political agenda. When asked why he did this, he explained that he has a distant Jewish relative and that ‘you use what you have.’” Schivone’s reported hoax was first analyzed on the website of CAMERA, a US-based media watchdog organization that tracks anti-Israel bias in the press. In his CAMERA article, Yishai Goldflam wrote, “Schivone emphasizes his Jewish identity no less than eight times, and repeatedly emphasizes the influence of his identity on his anti-Israel activity.

“As Saturen suggests in her letter, international anti-Israel activists place a premium on the participation of Jews in their activities. In this case, the flotilla organizers seemingly scored big – a Jewish participant, and writing in an Israeli media outlet, to boot. Claims of anti-Israelism and anti-Semitism are thus defused.”

UPDATE I: Thanks to commenter Brad:
The Guardian revises story about UK Riots which singled out Hasidic Jews

while we’ll likely not see an official apology from the Guardian for singling out Jews in a series of reports which clearly took pains to not mention the race, religion, ethnicity, or national background of those participating in the riots, their revision still represents an acknowledgement that our initial complaint was meritorious.

In addition to calling out those, at the Guardian and their blog, Comment is Free, who engage in anti-Semitism and assault the legitimacy of Israel, this blog also takes quite seriously what seems to be their institutional obsession with Jews and Israel.

As such, we may have won this particular battle but the cognitive war still rages.

Like I opined before, lefty British seem to have normalized and internalized their obsession with Jews to the same degree as the worst anti-semites out there.

EU Diplomats "traumatized" at blunt speech by Israel's national security advisor

Go cry to your shrink, cry babies. EU's stance on Israel is hypocritical to say the least. (Hostile if you examine Scandinavia)

EU diplomats: Israel's national security adviser reprimanded us over our critical policy

European diplomats have called National Security Council head Yaakov Amidror aggressive and arrogant for "reprimanding" EU countries for their policies toward Israel, during what was supposed to be a routine briefing.

Amidror had been invited to give a political-security briefing to 27 European Union ambassadors to Israel. Three diplomats who were present at the meeting, on 14 July, told Haaretz that the national security adviser's style was blunt and that many ambassadors were insulted at what they perceived to have been a reprimand of the EU.

"He was aggressive, contemptuous and arrogant," one of the ambassadors told Haaretz. "Some of the ambassadors were genuinely traumatized."

Amidror told the ambassadors that the EU is always critical of Israel but never of the Palestinians. He said that the EU, as a group, is unable to adopt a balanced stance, and said that Israel cannot be blamed for everything.

Amidror warned that unless the EU altered its position and pressured the Palestinians, there would be no resumption of negotiations between the two sides.

Amidror added, "You only support the portion of the [Barack] Obama address that is good for the Palestinians, and not the portions that are good for Israel. You need to speak more like Hillary Clinton and less like [Russian Foreign Minister] Sergey Lavrov."

At the end of the briefing Amidror apologized for his style. "I apologize if I was blunt - I am not a diplomat," he was quoted as saying.

Soros hand in Israel anti Netanyahu protest revealed

NIF received large sums from George Soros. They have used these funds to help Israel's enemies and those who would seek to murder Jews for being Jews. Today they announced on their website that they are funding current socialist protest. Which is precisely what I predicted when noticed usage of rhetoric completely foreign to Israeli affairs: Social Justice - it is an alien implant in Israel.

New Israel Fund admits funding anti-government Tent Protests

NIF announced on their website today, that "Shatil" -- the "operative arm of NIF" is actively helping the tent protestors, while the "Fund" part of the "New Israel Fund" is providing financial backing to the protest as well.

The link to their web link is here (in Hebrew), or read it via google translate, here.

Of course, NIF will say they are apolitical, as their slogan is "New Israel Fund is the leading organization committed to equality and democracy for all Israelis."

Or in plain speak; taking the "Jewish" out of the "Jewish State."

N.B. Here's a good explanation of "Piggish Capitalism" -- where an Israeli blames the tent city protestors for their own problems. The truth is -- its not capitalism that's the problem, its the irresponsible, piggish people.

And where Soros is involved, so is Obama.
