HEZB’ALLAH HAS 40,000 MISSILES!

Emanuel A. Winston, a Middle East Analyst & Commentator

I know we Jews don’t seem to learn from History but, just in case here is an awakening:

We are informed by DEBKAfile that Hezb’Allah has quadrupled its stock of Katyusha missiles to 40,000 since the 34 day Lebanon War of July-August of 2006. Hezb’Allah’s rocket arsenal is 3½ times its pre-2006 Lebanon War stockpile. Some of the 40,000 rockets of Syrian and Iranian manufacture can hit Israeli targets as far south as Beersheva, 350 km. Away from the Shi’ite terror group’s launching pads north of Lebanon’s Litani River. Between Hezb’Allah in the North and Hamas South in Gaza, these 2 surrogates of Iran can cover most of Israel except for Eilat. Syria has shipped to Hezb’Allah quantities of anti-air weapons, including shoulder-borne rockets and scores of Russian-made anti-aircraft ZSU-100 automatic 14.4 mm caliber cannon, effective against low-flying aircraft, helicopters and drones. (1) Syria is massing 3 army divisions on the Lebanese border backed by pro-Syrian Palestinian factions in the Beqa’a Valley of Lebanon. Hassan Nasrallah declared Hezb’Allah will wage "open war" with Israel at the end of their 40-day mourning period for Imad Mughnieyeh who was killed in Damascus February 12. Monday, March 24th, Nasrallah will address a big memorial in South Beirut. The Israeli Army is on high alert for a possible Hezb’Allah attack from Lebanon. Magen David Adom ambulance service is on emergency across the country. (2)

(Israel’s Prime Minister Ehud Olmert does nothing!)

We are informed that the President of the "Palestinian Authority" Mahmoud Abbas (aka Abu Mazen) has approved a plan to get 3 million Muslim Arab "Palestinians" coming from Lebanon into the "west bank" areas given over to Yassir Arafat by Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres through Oslo. (Olmert continues to babble "peace" jargon with Abbas.)

These 3 million hostile Muslim Arabs will be pushed from Jordan, Syria and Gaza in time for Israel’s 60th anniversary on May 10th. The plan, if successful, is for the Muslim Arabs to converge on Israel and cross her borders, presumably as potential "martyrs". This plan also calls for Americans, Europeans and Canadians of Palestinian descent to fly into Israel, attempting to force entry. Abbas plans to besiege Israel’s borders from Lebanon, Gaza, Syria and Jordan by that date in an attempt to force Israel to accept millions of foreign-born Arab Muslims into the country. It is obvious that Abbas and his associates in Fatah are intensifying their efforts to reinstate a Fatah-Hamas unified government throughout Judea, Samaria and Gaza ahead of the Arab League summit in Syria now scheduled for March 29th. In the midst of all this, the Democratically controlled U.S. Congress approved a Bush administration request to transfer $150 million more American taxpayers’ dollars to the PA’s treasury. (3)

(Olmert does nothing - unless he is actually part of the planning to flood Judea and Samaria with more Arab Muslim (so-called Palestinians) to make Israel a One-State of Jews mixed with Muslims.

Egypt continues to be a conduit for arms going from the Sinai into Gaza for Hamas. (Olmert did nothing and continues to do nothing.)

Iran continues to fulfill its goal to build nuclear bombs with Ahmadinejad’s often pronounced threat to "wipe Israel off the map". (Olmert still does nothing.)

President George W. Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice observe the continual build-up of Fatah under Abu Mazen - including American training and weapons provided by the CIA. (Olmert does nothing.)

Hamas Terrorists (called "militants" in the top American newspapers) continue to rocket Israel with 8000 Kassam Rockets since Arafat’s Second Intifada, the Rosh Hashanah War of September 29, 2000. Israel offers a minimal response, on orders by Condoleezza Rice. (Olmert does next to nothing to stop the attacks.)

8 teenage Yeshiva students are murdered by an Israeli-Arab. (Olmert refuses to stop the empty peace talks with Mahmoud Abbas.)

The Jews of Gush Katif/Gaza are expelled by Arik Sharon and Olmert in August 2005. They continue to live in cardboard so-called "caravillas" and are denied the compensation pledged by the full authority of the Israeli government. The majority still have no jobs. (Olmert does nothing and continues to block their full compensation - which was minimal to begin with.)

As in other centuries of the past and present, evil men have stalked the earth, courting power, valuables and the obedience of all others.

Today we have such would-be tyrants as Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Mahmoud Abbas, Muhammad Dahlan, Hassan Nasrallah, Bashar Assad, plus other Muslim dictator/terrorist leaders - and Ehud Olmert - whose weakness as a leader creates in him a tyrant, under orders from others whom he obeys. Putin of Russia grows more dictatorial by the day as he supplies Iran with nuclear technology and fuel.

We just heard Vice President Dick Cheney say that the U.S. won’t ask Israel to risk her safety while, in the same breath he recommends the Bush-Rice "Two-State Solution". The "Second State" is to be carved out of Israel’s mid-section.

Bush, Rice, James Baker III and Cheney already know that the Muslim "Jihadists" will never give Israel a day of peace and will fire their Rockets and Missiles from that Second State IF we ever allow it to be torn out of Israel’s ancient homeland.

Olmert stood there like the dummy he is and will always be, at Cheney’s side and nods in agreement. The idea that the Bush administration will not risk Israel’s safety and sovereignty when it already has and continues to do so - is simply another Big Lie!

I am reminded of another incident during a biennial Operation "Bright Star", a joint military exercise in Egypt with the participation of the Americans, when an Egyptian General said: "We must prepare for war with Israel." Then Secretary of Defense William Cohen (not Jewish) then under President Bill Clinton, was observing and remained silent at that revealing comment - as did President Clinton.(4)

Since the 1979 Camp David Accords were implemented, the U.S. has sold or rather gifted to Egypt $2.5 Billion a year in American taxpayers’ dollars in aid that was routinely used to purchase high tech American armaments. Egypt, now very well equipped with American arms, has become a military colossus in the Middles East and remains a significant threat to Israel, which the successive Presidential Administrations have understood very well.

So much for American Administrations "risking" the safety of the Jewish State of Israel.

Most military analysts assume that President Bush is waiting and hoping that Iran will make its first move against Israel so then Bush can unleash American air and sea power to "defend" Israel.

But, by that time, Israel will be a smoking ruin, G-d forbid. Then there will be time only for more memorial museums to commemorate the brave Israeli people.

PART 2: "TWO PEOPLES CRAMMED INTO ONE-STATE SOLUTION"

There is every indication that, not only are Israel’s Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and his collaborators, the Leftist Elites going to the divide the Jewish nation but, they will accept One State for all of her inhabitants. That means that Israel’s Jewish character will be eliminated with and Israel will become a mixed State of Arab Muslims and Jews under one government with control held by the Muslims.

Given that the Muslims surround Israel in massive numbers, once the borders become porous under one government, the Jewish element will probably be overrun by sheer numbers of Muslims and will soon inevitably disappear.

That is happening now wherever Christian Arabs live in Israel, they are being driven out by Arab Muslims. Naturally the moneyed elite of Israel have already purchased apartments and houses abroad, ready to make their getaways.

The elites have squeezed every shekel out of the Israeli citizenry and the Land. When they finished cutting their deals with the crooks and Terrorists of the "Palestinians" and Muslims generally, they can escape with their pockets loaded. Those who choose to stay behind will assume the deals they have cut with the Arab Muslims will make them privileged and honored inhabitants of the new all-inclusive nation of "Palestine".

Naturally, as in all Arab and Muslim countries, they will eventually be forced out or killed, leaving their assets behind. Of course, this is what happened from the birth of Israel in 1948 onward, when the Muslim nations of Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya..... drove out their Jews, while confiscating all their assets, personal and community.

So, what is the answer? Quite simple! Pre-emptively drive the Jewish Leftists out of the Jewish State and confiscate their assets before the Arab Muslims do.

In addition, as Olmert prepares to lose the next war, when will the country take responsibility to remove Olmert from his throne and will it be done before or after he loses the war?

The IDF’s Minorities in Numbers and Pictures

In honor of IDF Diversity Week, we present diversity through numbers and pictures. Each year, more and more Muslims, Christians, Druze, Bedouin and immigrants from around the world take on the responsibility of defending Israel.

MUSLIMS:

Muslim Arab Israelis are not required to draft in the IDF, but there are many who volunteer. In 2013, there were over 200 Muslims serving in the IDF and over 300 in the reserves.

Bedouins:

Bedouins are nomadic Muslims who were in Israel when modern borders were set in place and are now considered Israeli citizens. They are not required to draft but a growing number choose to enlist. In 2012, there were over 1,400 Bedouin Muslim soldiers doing regular IDF service and almost 1,500 in the reserves.

Are you aware that in 2013, Middle class taxes go up-significantly?

In January of next year, the federal income tax rate for middle-class taxpayers is scheduled to rise from 25 percent to 28 percent, and the payroll tax is scheduled to rise from 13.3 percent to 15.3 percent… This drives the marginal tax rate based on the aforementioned three taxes to 48.12 percent. Add in state and local property, corporate, excise, and other state and local taxes, and the percentage of each additional dollar that is taxed hovers around 50 percent… When half of each additional dollar earned is taxed away, taxpayers experience a disincentive to start businesses or expand existing ones. This leads to fewer jobs being created.

Why is HAMAS Inside Tampa Schools?

Clare Lopez

Kelly Miliziano, who teaches history classes at Steinbrenner High School in the Tampa, Florida area apparently thinks it’s perfectly OK to invite a senior official of a HAMAS-affiliated organization into her classroom to discuss Islam with her students. According to local media reports, not only has this been going on for years, but in spite of the civil and criminal proceedings that could result from such reckless negligence, the Hillsborough County school superintendent, Mary Ellen Elia, and the chairman of the school board, Candy Olson, also expressed approval for students under their responsibility to be exposed repeatedly to guest speaker, Hassan Shibly, who is the Executive Director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in the Tampa area.

Did You Know... Ignoring the Call to Islam will Bring Jihad

‘Conquest through Da’wa [proselytizing] that is what we hope for. We will conquer Europe, we will conquer America! Not through sword but through Da’wa.’
-- Yousef al-Qaradawi , Muslim Brotherhood spiritual leader The Arabic word ‘Da’wa’ means the “call to Islam.” But do not think that Da’wa is the same thing as an invitation to an optional holiday event. The classical Islamic doctrine of jihad mandates that enemies must be given the opportunity to convert to Islam or pay the jizya tax before it is permissible to attack them.

On March 31, 1977, the Dutch newspaper Trouw published an interview

with PLO executive committee member Zahir Muhsein. Here's what he said:

"The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct "Palestinian people" to oppose Zionism.

For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan."

The Arab Apartheid

Ben-Dror Yemini
In 1948, the Arab countries refused to accept the UN partition proposal and they launched a war of annihilation against the State of Israel which had barely been established. All precedents in this matter showed that the party that starts the war - and with a declaration of annihilation, yet - pays a price for it. Between 550,000 and 710,000 Arabs fled because of the war and a larger number of 850,000 Jews were expelled or fled from Arab countries (the "Jewish nakba").
Population exchanges and expulsions were the norm at that time, occurring in dozens of other conflict points and affecting about 52 million people. In all the population exchange precedents that occurred during or at the end of an armed conflict, there was no return of refugees to the previous region, which had turned into a new national state.
Only the Arab states acted completely differently from the rest of the world. Instead of assimilating the refugees, they crushed them despite the fact that they were their coreligionists and members of the Arab nation - instituting a regime of apartheid. So the "nakba" was not caused by the actual dispossession, which had also been experienced by tens of millions of others. The "nakba" is the story of the apartheid, oppression, abuse and denial of rights suffered by the Arab refugees at the hands of the Arab countries. (Maariv)

International Law and Military Operations in Practice - Col. Richard Kemp

"Islamist fighting groups study the international laws of armed conflict carefully and they understand it well. They know that a British or Israeli commander and his men are bound by international law and the rules of engagement that flow from it. They then do their utmost to exploit what they view as one of their enemy's main weaknesses. Their very modus operandi is built on the correct assumption that Western armies will normally abide by the rules, while these insurgents employ a deliberate policy of operating consistently outside international law. "

Lost Historical Moments

What Rabin’s last Knesset speech really said:repudiation of a Palestinian state

Rabin ruled out a fully sovereign Palestinian state :

“We view the permanent solution in the framework of State of Israel which will include most of the area of the Land of Israel as it was under the rule of the British Mandate, and alongside it a Palestinian entity which will be a home to most of the Palestinian residents living in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. We would like this to be an entity which is less than a state, and which will independently run the lives of the Palestinians under its authority.”

Rabin ruled out a total withdrawal from Judea and Samaria and thus a return to the pre-June 1967 borders :

“The borders of the State of Israel, during the permanent solution, will be beyond the lines which existed before the Six Day War. We will not return to the 4 June 1967 lines.”

Rabin ruled out withdrawing form the Jordan Valley:

“The security border of the State of Israel will be located in the Jordan Valley, in the broadest meaning of that term.”

Rabin ruled out uprooting settlement blocs, like the Gush Katif bloc in Gaza (which was subsequently uprooted by former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon):

“The establishment of blocs of settlements in Judea and Samaria, like the one in Gush Katif.

AND

Rabin ruled out removing any settlement before coming to a full peace agreement with the Palestinians:

“I want to remind you: we committed ourselves, that is, we came to an agreement, and committed ourselves before the Knesset, not to uproot a single settlement in the framework of the interim agreement, and not to hinder building for natural growth.”

Rabin insisted on Israel retaining full security control of the borders with Egypt and Jordan, contrary to Israel’s relinquishment of the Philadelphia Corridor on the border with Egypt:

“The responsibility for external security along the borders with Egypt and Jordan, as well as control over the airspace above all of the territories and Gaza Strip maritime zone, remains in our hands.”

Correcting Oslo Myths-Part 2

3) Kuttab laments that the post-1993 Oslo process resulted in a Palestinian Authority "whose ministers and legislators are not guaranteed passage between Gaza and the West Bank ...."

Before free passage or other perquisites, PA leaders were obligated, among other things, to eliminate the terrorist infrastructure in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, end anti-Israeli, antisemitic incitement in schools, mosques, and communications media, and resolve all outstanding issues through peaceful negotiations. They met none of these commitments, sometimes bolstering terrorism and greatly increasing incitement.

4) Kuttab complains that under Oslo the PA got "lightly armed police ---- but no real sovereignty over the land or contiguity between our communities in Gaza and the West Bank."

Oslo agreements repeatedly were revised, regardless of Palestinian non-compliance, until the authorized number of police grew from 8,000 to 40,000. Though they were to be the only armed forces in the territories, Israeli estimates early in the second intifada put the number of gunmen - police, "security services," terrorists, and armed gangs - at 85,000. Their armament reportedly included not only heavy machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades, but also anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles.

Sovereignty was to be negotiated in the envisioned 1998 "final status" talks - after a five-year period of confidence-building. Palestinian leadership chronically undermined the process. Palestinian terrorism made the 1993 - 1998 Oslo period more deadly for Israelis than the 15 years preceding it.

The United States doesn't have contiguity between the lower 48 states and Alaska and Hawaii; territorial contiguity between the West Bank and Gaza Strip - that is, through the 20 miles of Israeli territory between them - was never promised and would destroy Israeli contiguity.

5) "Palestinians have been made to endure hundreds of checkpoints in the West Bank, an eight-foot wall deep in our territories, and tight Israeli control over borders."

The security barrier is not "deep in Palestinian territories," but rather encompasses less than 8 percent of Judea and Samaria, and is mostly a fence, rarely a wall; the land in question is not "our [Palestinian] territories" but disputed territory to which, according to the authors of U.N. Security Council Resolution 242, Jews as well as Arabs have claims; and there are no international borders, only the 1949 armistice lines with Jordan. Under 242, borders remain to be negotiated. As for checkpoints - like the security barrier and "tight Israeli control" - Palestinian Arabs precipitated these measures themselves. No terrorism and there would be no fence or tight Israeli control and few checkpoints - like before the first intifada.

Correcting Some Oslo Myths

1) In Oslo "Israeli, Palestinian and other world leaders promised that ... Palestinian sovereignty would be solidified."

No, they didn't. The 1993 Declaration of Principles and subsequent Oslo agreements outlined a process by which final status negotiations about the West Bank and Gaza Strip would be reached. The process required an end to anti-Israel terrorism and incitement and a commitment to peaceful negotiations. The PA, Fatah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, and other terrorist groups, sabotaged the process from the start.

2) "The reality is that, in defiance of U.N. Security Council Resolution 242, which states that it is inadmissible to occupy land by force, Palestinian territories are still under foreign military occupation."
Wrong again. Resolution 242 (1967) does note "the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war." It also affirms the right of every state in the area "to live in peace with secure and recognized boundaries free from threats or acts of force." There were no "Palestinian territories." Jordan occupied the West Bank, Egypt controlled Gaza. Israel did not have "secure and recognized boundaries," so retention of some of those territories was possible under 242. Israel is not a "foreign" military occupier in the West Bank but, pending final negotiations, the lawful military administrator as a result of a successful war of self-defense.
