The Israeli government, according to
former IDF Brigadier-General Tzvika Fogel, will not take
real action against Gaza terrorists' rocket attacks until
Jewish blood is shed.
Experience over the past few years
shows that the government responds sharply to rocket attacks
only when a Jew is badly wounded or killed, he explained.
Attacks in which there are no serious injuries, or foreign
workers are hurt, are not met with similar
responses.
The standard response to attacks that
do not cause injury is an IAF strike on a weapons plant or
smuggling tunnel in Gaza.
The current approach must change if
Israel is to restore deterrence, he declared. "Every
rocket that is fired must be met with a response where
either a Hamas leader loses his head, or the street from
which the rocket was fired from is taken out," he said.
"There's no other way."
Israel can look to its success in
Lebanon for guidance, Fogel said. "Even if the war in
Lebanon was considered unsuccessful from a diplomatic
perspective, from a military perspective it was very
successful," he argued.
Unlike southern Israel, northern
Israel has not been a target of frequent rocket fire in
recent years, he said. In southern Israel, he noted, there
are 12 and 13-year-old children who have grown up with
rocket fire as part of their daily reality. "It's not
normal that children live this way in the state of
Israel," Fogel said.
Good Luck
America!
I hope you Make the Right
Choice.
The Presidential election results
are in. Well, at least the votes from Americans in Israel.
Gov. Mitt Romney received 85% - of the vote; President Obama
managed only 14.3%. This, according to exit polling just
released by iVoteIsrael, the non-partisan group promoting
and facilitating voting by US citizens currently in
Israel.
The US Mission in Benghazi convened
an "emergency meeting" less than a month before
the assault that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three
other Americans, because Al Qaeda had training camps in
Benghazi and the consulate could not defend against a
"coordinated attack." According to a review of the
cable addressed to the Office of the Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton, the Emergency Action Committee was also
briefed "on the location of approximately ten Islamist
militias and AQ training camps within
Benghazi.
Food for Thought

We must
put aside fake political correctness and look at the true
'legacy' of Rabin and what he and his party, Avoda/Labor,
represents. Most people have forgotten that in June 1948 Rabin was in charge of
sinking Irgun's weapon supply ship,
Altalena. He even gave the order to murder
a few survivors swimming in the water. The operation
was ordered by Ben-Gurion, the leader of a
party which is currently known as the Labor party. The left
hated true Zionists then, as much as they do
now!
On Sunday, 28 Oct, Hamas fired
Grad missiles as target finders against
Israel 's
nuclear reactor in Dimona. The nuclear plant is only 42.5
kilometers from Gaza . The
Palestinian Hamas has evidently launched a new and expanded
targeting-policy marking two developments of grave import:
One: Its rulers have submitted the Gaza Strip to Tehran for
use as its southern operational arm against Israel,
complementing Hezbollah's pivotal role to the north of
Israel; and two, having acquired improved surface missiles.
(When will the government of
Israel seriously take responsibility for
the state's security? It is time to remove the enemy
population from Gaza and
end the nuclear threat from
Iran. Fake agreements and
half-measured reprisal actions do not work!)
The UN
investigator tasked with Israel-PA affairs openly supports a
boycott of companies doing business in Israeli cities in
Judea, Samaria. UN special rapporteur on Human Rights in the
PA (controlled)
Territories, Richard Falk, has called for a boycott on all
companies tied to Jewish towns in Judea and Samaria. (He is still holding his position. No
calls for his removal, inspite of the blatten violation of
supposed UNs inpartitiality!)
Criminal
investigators from France are to exhume Yasser Arafat's
remains in a bid to find out how he died. A French official
said that the team will arrive sometime between November
24-26 in the West Bank city of Ramallah. In August, a French
court opened a murder inquiry into Arafat's death after Suha
Arafat, his
(gold-digging) widow, asked a court in the western
Paris suburb of Nanterre to launch a murder probe. (Why have the French doctors not yet
released Arafat's medical records, including his AIDS test
results? They have this
information!)
National Union MKs Uri Ariel and
Aryeh Eldad slammed Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu for
allowing illegal building to continue unabated in East
Jerusalem. "For 3,000 years, from the Mamluks to the
Byzantine to even the British, no one built in the King's
Garden," said Eldad. "Only under Israeli control,
illegal building has wildly deteriorated before our
eyes." He also called on the Prime Minister to enforce
building laws in East Jerusalem to allow demolition of
illegal structures to go forward.
The new tone coming out of
Egypt - punctuated by
President Mohammed Morsi mouthing "Amen" to an
Imam's call for the destruction of
Israel - is rattling
residents of the Jewish state, who claim the Obama
administration isn't taking the ratcheted-up rhetoric
seriously. Lip reading by the anti-Defamation League and the
Middle East Media Research Institute confirmed Morsi's
approval of a prayer delivered by influential Imam Futouh
Abd Al-Nabi Mansour, in which he stated, "Oh Allah
...grant us victory over the
infidels (yes, all of
them) . Oh Allah, destroy the Jews and their
supporters." (The
US
is also a target, as well as all 'Palestinian-loving'
Europeans!)
Tolerance Backfired: Crime by Illegal
Africans
Way Up
In September, only 168 illegal Africans entered the country,
compared to about 2,000 in January. Despite the drop in the
number of illegals, the crime rate of those in the country
has shot up. According to the police report, 882 illegal
Africans were questioned by Tel Aviv police so far in 2012,
compared to 610 in all of 2011 - an increase of 45%. Eight
hundred files were opened against illegal Africans in the
past ten months, compared to 645 in all of 2011 - an annual
increase of 55%. Of the files opened, 497 involved property
crimes, 199 involved physical attacks, and 70 involved moral
offences. (Most countries lock
up illegal migrants!)
Quote of the Week:
"Yitzhak Rabin as prime minister worked, advanced and
strove to create an Arab entity which works tirelessly to
destroy the State of Israel. The guns Yitzhak Rabin gave to
the Arabs were and are used for murderous campaigns among
Jewish residents of the State of Israel. There is no place
whatsoever, even out of a desire to feel part of the Jewish
people, to take part in a ceremony where they glorify the
name, work and legacy of someone who left only one legacy:
national defeatism and the sacrifice of the 'victims of
peace' on the altar of Oslo." - Pinchas
Michaeli, head of a Bnei Akiva branch
by Arsen
Ostrovsky, an international human rights
lawyer
I'm angry.
You see, as most Americans were
waking up this morning, and those in Europe and elsewhere
around the world were going about their daily routines, here
in Israel - over one million people were running for cover
from a hail of rockets being rained down by Palestinian
terrorists in Gaza. In the space of 24 hours, since Tuesday
evening, 80 rockets have been fired on southern Israel.
That's more than three rockets per hour. By the time I
finish this article, odds are that count will have risen to
85 rockets.
Just to put things in context: one
million Israelis is roughly 13 per cent of the population.
Thirteen per cent of the U.S. population equates to about 40
million...
But here is why I'm
angry.
I'm angry that in 2012, over 600
rockets have already been fired from Gaza with no end in
sight. I'm angry that the world only notices when Israel
undertakes its (sovereign) right to defend its citizens. Can
you imagine if even one rocket was fired on Washington,
London, Paris or Moscow? No nation on earth can, or should,
tolerate such attacks on its people.
I'm angry that while the United
Nations never hesitates to call a 'special emergency
session' on the 'Question of Palestine' or pass the
umpteenth resolution blindly condemning Israel, that I am
still waiting for a session on the 'Question of Israel' and
Palestinian terror. In fact, 24 hours after the rocket
attacks started, I am still waiting for even one syllable of
condemnation from the UN Security Council, the UN General
Assembly or Navi Pillay, the UN High Commissioner for Human
Rights.
I'm angry that Ban Ki-Moon, the UN
Secretary-General, could not find a moment to condemn the
Palestinian rockets, but did find time to laugh and dance
with South Korean rapper Psy from the popular dance craze
Gangnam Style...
I'm angry that ships and flotillas
continue to set sail for Gaza to show 'solidarity' with the
Palestinians, but where is their solidarity with the people
of southern Israel?
I'm angry that while human rights
organisations like Amnesty, Human Rights Watch, Oxfam and
others do not waste a single opportunity to condemn Israel
for human rights violations against the Palestinians, the
human rights of Israelis are seemingly not important enough
for them. Is Jewish blood really that
cheap?
I'm angry that mainstream newspapers
like the New York Times, lead their stories about the rocket
attacks with such headlines as "Four Palestinian
Militants Killed in Israeli Airstrikes," and not
"Palestinian Terrorists Rain Down over 80 Rockets
against one million Israelis."
...I'm angry when people continue to
say that 'settlements' are the main impediment to peace, and
not Hamas, a terrorist group which does not recognise
Israel's right to exist and seeks its destruction. I'm angry
when I see pictures like this, of a home in southern Israel
hit by a rocket from Gaza today, yet have the audacity to
say "ah, but they're just like toys; what damage can
they do?"
I'm angry that there is someone out
there who does not know me and has never met me, yet still
wants to kill me - for no other reason than being
Israeli.
I'm angry when I hear residents in
southern Israel say "we just lie on top of our children
and try to protect them with our bodies" or that
"we're living on borrowed time" - yet the world
seems oblivious to their desperate cries for
help.
No, I am not angry. I am outraged.
(Please, don't get angry - Get
even, free and reunite all Jewish
land!)
