News a Citizen of Israel Does Not Like to Hear
Israel’s policy of not treating the conflict with the palestinians as a war to be won is paying dividends.
For the terrorists.
The Islamic Jihad terror group has recently began manufacturing rockets capable of reaching a 12.5-mile range, similar to the Grad rockets already in use by terror organizations in Gaza.
The new rockets are armed with a [...]
Israel to Elders of Moron: “Umm, No”
The Elders of Moron are off to a rocky start.
Israel turned down an offer by Jimmy Carter and Kofi Annan to mediate a cease-fire with Hamas.
The former U.S. president and former U.N. secretary-general belong to The Elders, an international conflict-resolution group established last year by British tycoon Richard Branson.
Several weeks ago, the Foreign Ministry in [...]
Hypocritic Oafs
This week, “human rights” group Physicians for Human Rights accused Israel of causing the deaths of sick palestinians by manipulating “security reasons” to reject their requests to cross the border for treatment in Israel or elsewhere.
Five Palestinians, including a one-year-old baby, have died in Gaza over the past two months after Israel rejected on security [...]
The Proof
Hezbollah is still pointing the finger at Israel for the death of their senior terrorist Imad Mughniyah, claiming they have “proof”.
Hezbollah’s deputy secretary general Naim Qassem has again accused Israel of responsibility for the assassination of the organization’s senior military figure Imad Mughniyah.
In a speech Friday to mark the birthday of the Prophet Mohammed, Qassem [...]
Gone to Shi’te
Ha’aretz reports on how the family of a senior terrorist killed by Israel have “turned Hizbullah”.
Instead of a Britney Spears ring tone, Shehadeh Shehadeh’s cell phone emits a recording of a speech by Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. “Our entire family has turned Shi’ite,” he boasts.
He’s not wrong.
But they’re not that bad. After all, they don’t [...]
Quote of the Day
“The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the sexiest conflict in the world, and everybody wants to be involved.”
- Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, last week at Harvard Kennedy School
Kinky.
But seriously, there is nothing sexy about this conflict, and I’m quite surprised the Foreign Minister would use such a flippant term.
Is there anything sexy about terrorists firing rockets [...]
What Are We Waiting For?
Now this is actually not a bad idea:
Israeli foreign minister Tzipi Livni has given directives to enable Israeli victims of Palestinian attacks to sue the Palestinian Authority in Israeli courts in order to claim financial reimbursement.
Israeli sources said that Livni will contact Israeli courts asking them to comply with her suggestion.
These new directives will pave [...]
Ya Think?
Palestinian terrorists have fired around 30 rockets since yesterday morning, and this is what senior IDF officials are saying:
Senior officials within the Israel Defense Forces told Haaretz Thursday night that the week-long lull in the fighting between Israel and Palestinian militants in Gaza seemed to have come to an end.
Striking Terrorists
Some breaking news from the palestinian Ma’an News Agency:
I don’t quite understand. How do “National and Islamic Forces” (i.e. terrorists) declare a strike? Since their day job is trying to kill Israelis, wouldn’t a strike mean desisting from this? In other words, a ceasefire (or lull)?
Unless what they mean by strike is a rocket strike [...]
Lull-a-Bye
Oh lull, how I never knew you..
The Palestinian Islamic Jihad said that it fired at least 15 rockets into the western Negev early Thursday, ending a week-long Egyptian-brokered moratorium in what it called an “initial” response to deadly Israeli raids in the West Bank.
No one was hurt by the salvo just after midnight against the [...]
