The Day In Israel: Thurs July 2nd, 2009

Click refresh to see new updates during the day

A close political ally of US President Barack Obama has said that Obama was asking Israel for a moratorium on “settlements”, and a relaxing of conditions in the “West Bank” consistent with Israel’s security requirements, in exchange for the palestinians’ adhering to their security conditions and responsibilities, and the Arab world being given a set of responsibilities that has not been given in the past.

“And if the Arab world fails to deliver,” Wexler said, “you can rightly say that all bets are off.”

The palestinians have failed to deliver since Oslo began. And not only are all bets not off, but there’s now more in the kitty.

Updates (Israel time; most recent at top)

10:40PM: Palestinians have accused the IDF of killing a palestinian girl and injuring others during an exchange of fire with palestinian terrorists. But the story has as many holes as swiss cheese.

Ma’an news reported that the dead girl was 17-year old Hiam Abu A’yesh, killed after shrapnel struck her family home , but Hamas later reported the victim was 3-years-old. Meanwhile, Ma’an reported that 11 were injured in the incident, while other palestinian sources had the number as at least 5.

Meanwhile, an initial IDF probe found that the girl was killed by palestinian mortar shells.

8:18PM: Here’s an interview from 2007 in which George Galloway makes very clear his support for terrorism and generally behaves in his usual reprehensible manner.

8:12PM: German Chancellor Angela “Steve” Merkel needs to be reminded that we don’t just follow orders.

5:55PM: Meanwhile, Free Gaza’s Houida Araf – referred to as an “Israeli citizen” despite her commitment to Israel’s destruction – has told of the “horrors” she and a fellow numbskull endured at the hands of the evil Israelis, including having to sleep on “on a cockroach-infested cement floor.”

So I guess all 21 of the Free Gaza tools were sleeping in the same room then.

5:50PM: From the Free Gaza twits’ Twitter page over 4 hours ago:

Our website down for a day, probably hacked. We are working on getting it back up. For now, we will post here. Stay tuned.

From the Free Gaza mailing list, 5 minutes ago:

website was down due to a traffic spike,
I was traveling and couldn’t work on it,
now it is back online,
andrea

Yet another example of Free Gaza’s willingness to blame everything on Israel (yes, you know that is who they were going to blame the website hacking on), rather than doing some fact-checking up front.

5:55AM: Chief Hamashole Khaled Mash’al explains what is behind Obama’s positions on the Middle East conflict: the success of “resistance” (aka terrorism).

Change!
