Tossing Millions - $150M More to Palestine

Hillary Clinton announced another $150 million to Palestine, bringing our total aid to $600 million this year. The story is that the $150 million will be used by the Palestine Authority to pay-down debt. Wonderful news, huh? The U.S. builds debt by helping others diminish theirs. Will any of this $150 million be diverted to purchase weapons? How naive are we, and speaking of the naivete of Americans, when will we demand that taxpayer funds stay in the U.S., at least until our fiscal disaster is corrected. Now is the time to shut down redistributing our wealth to the world. Source: Voice of America

Missiles in a Shipping Box: Game Changing Weaponry: Club-K Container Missile Program:

New technology to hit surface and land targets is being developed by a Russian company, and will allow rogue nations like Iran to purchase cruise missiles built into standard 40' shipping containers. The containers can travel by 18-wheelers, rail and sea. See an excellent video below, showing clearly what these missiles can do.

Missiles in Shipping Containers

This weapon is clearly intended for anti-American countries or individuals. In the video below you'll see how Iran, Syria and Palestine might even the playing field with the Club-K Container Missile Program. How about Yemen? How about al-Qaeda?

Priced at an estimated £10 million, each container is fitted with four cruise anti-ship or land attack missiles. The system represents an affordable "strategic level weapon"...

"This is ballistic missile proliferation on a scale we have not seen before because now you cannot readily identify what's being used as a launcher because it's very carefully disguised.

"Someone could sail off your shore looking innocuous then the next minute big explosions are going off at your military installations." 

FrontPage Magazine: A Game Changing Weapon:

The Russian company Concern Morinformsystem-Agat is marketing a deadly new weapon, one that can allow a rogue state to overcome the technological superiority of Western militaries. The system can even be used to carry out devastating attacks on the U.S. homeland with little means of defense...

In addition, these vehicles can cross borders, making it more difficult to identify the perpetrator of an attack and impossible to predict where an attack might come from. The missiles might from a shipping vessel off the coast or a truck that crossed via the Mexican border. With a range of 220 kilometers, or about 136 miles, they can either be fired from a safe distance from the border or the distance can be minimized by getting close to the target by being hidden.

Hamas Mass Wedding 450 Girls Ages Six to Nine Video

Nothing like a mosque in Manhattan full of thousands of Arab men who think marrying girls of six to nine years of age is just fine. This video shows a Hamas mass wedding, a long line of grown men holding a little girl's hand - she all dressed in white - no clue of her abhorrent future. The creepy imam explains that Muslims use Muhammad's marriage to Aisha as the example to follow. Muhammad married Aisha when she was six and had sex with her when she was nine years old. Thousands of Arab men will gather in the Grand Zero mosque and "community center." If you think these despicable behaviors do not follow the mosque-dwellers to the U.S., you are naive. If you think these men aren't ecstatic at the thought of sleeping with a nine year old, because the Prophet did it, you are dishonest. It's what civil people call pedophilia.

Elias Abuelazam Palestinian Arab Killer of Blacks: Antwoine Marshall I.D.s Elias Abuelazam

Elias Abuelazam, also known as Elias Abullazam, has been arrested and is believed to be a Palestinian Arab, perhaps previously residing in Israel...after first being reported to be White...and then Jewish. It is possible he is a Palestinian Christian..., and then again, maybe not. While he has not been charged, he is believed to be a serial killer of Blacks, suspected of some 20 stabbings. Antwoine Marshall, the first victim, identified an FBI photo in the early morning hours today. Five of the 20 did not survive. Police believe the attacks are racially motivated, and it is important to note that law enforcement authorities have not formally charged Elias Abuelazam/Abullazam.

Elias Abuelazam

Haaretz reports that Abuelazam is an Israeli citizen, formerly living in Ramle, Israel. The report says that he was living legally in the U.S. with a green card, and recently visited Israel for the wedding of a sister. Note that Haaretz says nothing about Abuelazam being Christian.

One Ramle resident said Abuelazam left Israel at age 19 or 20 after finishing high school.

Another resident said Abuelazam was orphaned by his father at a young age.

The resident added that Abuelazam was allegedly involved with criminals and had a violent streak, which led his mother to send him abroad.

However, other neighbors who studied with Abuelazam in high school said he avoided violence, despite his physical build. They added, however, that Abuelazam seemed to have undergone significant changes during his recent visit to Israel.

A., a former neighbor and classmate, said Abuelazam was pleasant during the time they studied together, but that lately he would picks fights with "anyone who looked him in the eye."

He added when Abuelazam got angry, it took three people to restrain him.

"In recent years he experienced something that changed him entirely. He started using drugs, so his family sent him abroad."

Other rumors in Ramle alleged that Abuelazam engaged in relationships with older women in the U.S. who then supported him financially.

Elias Abuelazam married American Jessica Hirth in mid-2004. They were married for three years and divorced in 2007. His former mother-in-law, Kimberly Hirth said Abuelazam "was just the sweetest guy." At the time of the marriage, he worked at the Piedmont Behavioral Health Center (now Northridge Behaviorial Healthcare). Jessica Hirth has remarried and is now Jessica Nimitz. Abuelazam has a sister living in Leesburg, Virginia.

The attacker has consistently been described as a tall, muscular white man who often wears a baseball cap. He often gets close to victims by asking for directions or for help with his car; other times he says nothing at all while he approaches his targets from behind. All of the victims were alone when they were attacked.

Abuelazam, 33,  was arrested at the Atlanta airport as he tried to board a Delta Flight 152 to Tel Aviv, Israel. He left a wake of victims in Michigan, Virginia, and Ohio. The first stabbing victim survived the attack and was visited by the FBI this morning, shown a photo of Elias Abuelazam and was able to identify him as his attacker. In this report, posted at 2:23 PM CDT, he is still identified as an Israeli.

The attacks began surfacing in late spring, and picked up the pace as the stabber traversed the country.

Police have said they usually follow a pattern: The suspect approaches black men late at night on lonely urban roads and asks for directions or help with a broken-down car. Then, without warning, he pulls out a knife and strikes. Then, he speeds away in his vehicle, leaving them for dead.

The brazen nature and the frequency of the attacks -- the assailant has struck an average of about once every four days since the first stabbing in May -- has terrified some of those in cities he's already targeted.

The youngest victim was 17; the oldest was 60. They ranged in size from 5-foot-4 inches and 120 pounds to 6-foot-1 and 190 pounds.

Sixteen stabbings of the 20 attacks happened in Flint, Michigan, where Abuelazam worked in a convenience store. He was stopped for a traffic violation in Arlington, Virginia last week. He was "wanted on a simple assault warrant in Leesburg," Virginia but was released on his own recognizance. He has a string of mishaps with the law, including an arrest in December 2007 for felony gun possession. Those charges were dropped in 2008.

Once a Green Chevy Blazer became the focus of the hunt, Abuelazam's time as a free man and a killer shortened considerably.

Abuelazam asked his first known victim, Antwoine Marshall, to help him with his green SUV. He was stabbed twice as he opened the hood of the car. The stabbing cut three of his organs. He has a long scar from his chest to his pelvic area.

On August 3rd a Leesburg, Virginia teenager was stabbed in the back while jogging. A few days later a 67-year-old man in the same area was stabbed while sitting on the steps of his apartment. On August 6th Abuelazam again asked a man to help fix his green SUV. He hit the helper in the head with a hammer. That attack was recorded by a nearby security camera.

A Flint, Michigan neighbor said she noticed the green Chevy Blazer in the driveway of a house, but did not call the police because he was "a dark Middle Eastern man," and descriptions always said the man wanted was White.

Other than the articles linked herein, there is not a lot of confirmation about who Elias Abuelazam is, if he indeed lived in Israel as an Arab citizen, and certainly little confirming that he is Christian. Updates coming as available.

Turkey Demands Israel Apology: Israel Says Get Over it

Remember the terror flotilla filled with anti-Israel activists that Turkey tried to send to Gaza? As Turkey grows closer and closer to Iran and Syria, they were aware of Israel's legal blockade, but sent the hostile flotilla anyway. People aboard the Mavi Mamara died after video clearly shows the flotilla activists attacking Israeli forces. Now Turkey wants an apology. Israel says there will be none.

Tayyip Erdogan

Turkish prime minister, Erdogan, said his country will cut all ties to Israel if the apology isn't issued. Turkey is relying on another UN report sanctioning Israel, the most UN-sanctioned country in the history of the dictatorial, Muslim-dominated body. Sanctioning Israel is routine in the United Nations - certainly nothing new, and Israel has dug-in.

Israel and Turkey forged a "friendship" of sorts in past years, and shared military operations and intelligence. Turkey knows and must understand the life-saving blockade, so why test Israel with the terror flotilla? Maybe this is the reason:

Turkey has improved relations with neighbours such as Iran and Syria in recent years and Erdogan became a popular figure among Muslim countries for championing the Palestinian cause. 

Israel believes Turkey may vote against harsher sanctioning of Iran in the UN.

An interesting side-story is two well-known Muslim journalists, Magdi Khalil and Abdallah al-Hadlaq, taking Israel's side in the flotilla search, saying they had every right to do so, and the flotilla was intended to be hostile and was armed.  Read that story here.

Mosab Yousef's Political Asylum: Mosab Writes of His Day in Court

Many of us rejoiced as the news that Mosab Hassan Yousef had his day in court and was granted political asylum. Two questions: Is DHS paying Mosab's legal bills, and why did not a single Democrat sign Congressman Doug Lamborn's letter of support? Today, Mosab tells the story.

Gonen ben Itzhak and Mosab Yousef

By Mosab Hassan Yousef
Dated July 1, 2010
Political Asylum Granted!

Honestly, I am still in shock. I was sitting beside my attorney, focused on how I would answer the questions that were coming. Gonen ben Itzhak, my dear friend and former Shin Bet handler, had flown in from Israel to testify on my behalf and waited with a security guard in the empty courtroom next door.

Judge Rico Bartolomei was entering into the record all the documents and motions that had been introduced since my last hearing, getting everybody on the same page before we started.

That done, he called for Gonen.

That’s when DHS senior attorney Kerri Calcador dropped the bombshell. The Department of Homeland Security, she said, no longer opposes the asylum petition of Mosab Hassan Yousef.

No one in the courtroom could get hold of what had just happened. Not me, not the judge, not my attorney. We were prepared for several hours of testimony and defense. But 15 minutes after we walked into the courtroom, it was over.

There was nothing left to do. Judge Bartolomei granted me political asylum, pending a routine background check, rose and left the courtroom. Then the security guards efficiently led all of us out of the courtroom, down the halls, through the razor-wired fences and out into the parking lot, where a crowd of well-wishers applauded and cheered and network cameras rolled.

As we drove home through San Diego, we thanked God for his grace and for all those he used to make this happen.

For countless people around the world who prayed for me.

For FOX News, which is a lot more than just a conservative voice. Over the past year and a half, I have come to know and respect the professionals at FOX who have become much more to me than reporters, producers and camera crews. They are good people who had the courage to cover a story that others rejected and/or did not understand. Special thanks to chief correspondent Jonathan Hunt.

For U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-CO), who circulated a letter through the House of Representatives that was co-sponsored by 21 other congressmen, asking DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano to give “full consideration . . . to Mr. Yousef’s views and conduct in recent years, particularly his cooperation with Shin Bet at significant risk to his own safety and life.” Signatories include Representatives Frank Wolf (VA), Trent Franks (AZ), Cynthia Lummis (WY), Bill Posey (FL), Kenny Marchant (TX), John Kline (MN), John Shadegg (AZ), Joe Wilson (SC), Daniel Lungren (CA), John Boozman (AK), Michele Bachmann (MN), Marsha Blackburn (TN), Bill Shuster (PA), Joseph Pitts (PA), Lynn Jenkins (KS), Rob Bishop (UT), Jeff Fortenberry (NE), Dan Rohrabacher (CA), Robert Aderholt (AL), Mike Pence (IN) and Aaron Schock (IL).

For Tzachi Hanegbi, Chairman of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee of The Knesset (Israeli Parliament), MK Einat Wilf and other committee members for their very kind letter thanking me for my “actions to strengthen the security of Israeli citizens and Palestinian residents from 1998 to 2007.”

For the wisdom and integrity of DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano.

I am especially grateful to Sarah Stern, president of the Endowment for Middle Eastern Truth. Today’s blessings would not have happened without her and this amazing organization.

Senate Passes Gilad Shalit Resolution

After four years, the U.S. Senate has called on Hamas to "immediately and unconditionally release Israeli soldier, Gilad Shalit. The action comes in the form of a non-binding resolution, and does as much good as did Hillary and Barack's non-binding resolution that John McCain was a natural born U.S. citizen. They knew McCain had natural-born status. I suggest the U.S. actually do something about Hamas that is productive, such as cutting all aid, noticing when they kill by suicide bomber and doing something about the rockets that rain into Israel.

Gilad Shalit

After years of allowing U.S. aid to Palestine end up in the hands of Hamas, this is a disgraceful move on the part of the Senate. Also disgraceful is Nancy Pelosi's "pledge" to keep the issue alive. And another disgrace, if this report from Al Quds Al-Arabia via YNet News is true - that the U.S. is secretly working with Hamas through a contact in Damascus.

Jonathan Hunt Responsible for Mosab Yousef's Handler Coming to US? Yousef in Court Today

In this video interview with Shep Smith and reporter Jonathan Hunt took place yesterday, the 29th, and includes comments from Mosab Yousef and his handler, Gonen Ben-Itzak. Mosab is in court this morning. Also, very interesting that Shep says to Hunt:

Jonathan Hunt

 I'm told you persuaded his Israeli Secret Service agent to go public in support for Mosab."

If Hunt was involved with bringing Captain G to the U.S. that is incredible. The Fox reporters are mountain-tops above the rest of the media.

At Save Mosab Yousef, we have been told yesterday Shep Smith mentioned that the Immigration Court was moved to a "desert" location for security. We cannot confirm that, but have had two unrelated reports. Mosab is either in Court this minute, or perhaps it is now over (court would have convened one hour ago). Stay tuned for the "verdict," and if you hear the news first, let us know. Cross-posted from SaveMosabYousef.

Congress Signs Letter Supporting Mosab Yousef - No Democrat Signatures

Congressman Doug Lamborn (R-CO) released his letter to Department of Homeland Security in support of Mosab Yousef this evening with 22 final co-signers. Not a single Democrat signed the letter.

Doug Lamborn

In this Daily Caller post, they asked Lamborn if he thought the letter would be effective in the DHS Immigration court tomorrow. His answer is sobering and shows the trepidation those of us familiar with Mosab's case are feeling about his dangerous situation. He is at the the mercy of Homeland Security. The final signers - not a single Democrat among them. Maybe Congressman Lamborn didn't ask a single Democrat to sign???

Final 22 co-signers:

Rep. Trent Franks, Arizona Republican

Rep. Mike Pence, Indiana Republican

Rep. Frank Wolf, Virginia Republican

Rep. Joseph Pitts, Pennsylvania Republican

Rep. Rob Bishop, Utah Republican

Rep. Bill Posey, Florida Republican

Rep. John Shadegg, Arizona Republican

Rep. John Kline, Minnesota Republican

Rep. Cynthia Lummis, Wyoming Republican

Rep. Kenny Marchant, Texas Republican

Rep. Aaron Schock, Illinois Republican

Rep. Michele Bachmann, Minnesota Republican

Rep. Jeff Fortenberry, Nebraska Republican

Rep. Robert Aderholt, Alabama Republican

Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, California Republican

Rep. Joe Wilson, South Carolina Republican

Read the details of Mosab's journey as he has sought political asylum in the U.S. since January 2007 at Save Mosab Yousef. It is an incredible story of courage and faith.

The Gaza You Didn't Think Existed: Roots the Club Video

In this video, you'll see the Gaza you didn't think existed...because you know - everyone knows the whole area is oppressed, starving, living in cement houses (bombed-out, no less), no air conditioning - no schools, nothing to do but run the streets and throw rocks at Israeli soldiers. Sucker!

Gaza

Roots the Club: "A unique blend of contemporary design and urban chic, Roots Club is an icon in the heart of Gaza City. This multi-use complex - which includes an international cuisine fine dining restaurant, an elegant banquet hall and a terrace cafe - is just minutes from Gazas key attractions, shopping facilities, and business center. It is only 200 meters away from the white sand Gaza beach."

US Jobs Bill for Palestine: Debt-Ridden US Gives $400M to Palestine

We must assume this is $400 million in "civilian" aid, in addition to the "other" aid we already send to Palestine. Is the "other" aid, "military aid?" I listened as Obama said in his on-air comments, something to the affect that this is a Palestinian Jobs Bill. More as details are available.

Gaza Strip

Obama said the situation in Gaza is "unsustainable," but held no one in Palestine responsible for calling for death to Israel - the call that keeps Palestinians under the thumb of terrorism from their own people. Obama can call this "civilian aid," till the moon turns to cheese, but we know where all the money coming into Palestine ends up. Maybe he'll put Joe Biden on the job of tracking the funds - like he did with the Stimulus.

Reuters Crops Terrorist Knife in Flotilla Photo: Reuters Hides IDF Soldiers Blood

Fox News is reporting that Reuters has printed two different versions of a photo showing a flotilla terrorist (known as a "peace activist" in some circles): one photo with a knife in the hand of the "peace activist," and another with the knife cropped out. The photo with the knife was published in a Turkish newspaper. They are also accused of hiding the soldier's (or a soldier's) blood by cropping it out of a photo.

Reuters Photo with Knife (lower right corner)

Reuters Cropped Photo Sans Knife

According to Fox News' Trace Gallagher, Reuters is known for attempting to tarnish Israel and especially the Israeli Defense Force (IDF).

In 2006 Reuters admitted altering a photo of Beirut after an IAF attack to make it look as if more damage was caused than actually was. Reuters later admitted that 'photo editing software was improperly used on the image" and it suspended the photographer.

This time, Reuters said it was an accident. No word on any consequences for the "accident." Here's some conversation going on in the blogosphere:

The blood of a wounded Israel soldier also was omitted from the two photographs...

"That’s a very interesting way to crop the photo," the blogger wrote. "Most people would consider that knife an important part of the context. There was a huge controversy over whether the activists were armed. Cropping out a knife, in a picture showing a soldier who’s apparently been stabbed, seems like a very odd editorial decision."

Reuters said it is standard operating procedure to crop photos at the margins, and replaced the cropped images with the original ones after it was brought to the agency's attention.

Just one more bit of evidence that blogs may be the most accurate place for news if you are willing to read and sift the chaff. If you desperately want Israel to look monstrous, as does Reuters, then cropping the evidence that belies that, is certainly the thing to do.

American Emily Henochowicz Loses Eye in Terror Flotilla Protest: American Artist Loses Eye in Palestine

Emily Henochowicz is an American woman who joined a pro-Palestinian demonstration against Israel's blockade of the Mavi Mamara, or as many of us know it, The Terror Flotilla. Ms. Henochowicz, a burgeoning artist, lost an eye as Israeli military reportedly shot a tear gas canister at "Palestinian boys" throwing rocks.  The canister apparently hit her in the eye. She was taken to a hospital and underwent surgery.

Emily Henochowicz

Henochowicz is 21-years-old and a resident of Maryland. She attends The Cooper Union in New York and is "currently studying at Jerusalem's Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design. The Cooper Union's mission statement says it "prepares talented students to make enlightened contributions to society," through "Advancement of Science and Art."

Obviously the loss of an eye will be critical to her success in the Art world. Ms. Henochowicz's website reveals obvious talent through whimsical abstracts, her virtual sketchbook, and an avatar that tears at your heart.

When she was 18, in February 2007, The New York Times reports this about Emily and the Blasphemy Challenge:

Emily Henochowicz, an 18-year-old who denied God with a wry smile in her video, is among those who find the videos an interesting way to talk through the issues of religion and faith...

After much consideration, she decided to stop believing in "mysticism," including God.

Ms. Henochowicz, who was raised as a Jew, said she began questioning the concepts of God and faith after the death of her grandfather a few years ago. A high school senior, she formerly attended a Hebrew school and prayed to God but felt unclear about what happened to some after death.

Here's the thing, any Palestinian roadblock is dangerous. Any Palestinian roadblock with Israeli military standing on the other side is dangerous. This 21-year-old, maybe, thought she could make a "difference" for the people of Palestine.

No doubt the Israeli IDF standing guard had some soldiers younger than Emily. Their lives are threatened each and every day, and not only their lives, but the lives of their families. They are not attending a summer-session school. They are defending their country against those vowing to kill them and their loved ones. Does anyone care that Hamas, the PLO and Hezbollah have promised "Allah" to eliminate Israel? Has this young woman read these documents? If she doesn't believe in God, what does she think about Islam's Allah, which is the government and the religion, all wrapped-up in one not-so-tidy fatwa?

It doesn't matter where in Palestine an American stands.  She/he cannot make a difference for the people. Hundreds or thousands of Americans standing anywhere in Palestine cannot make a difference for the people. Only the people can make a difference by changing the terrorist regimes that pitch them into war everyday. Palestine's goal of eliminating Israel will bring warring to the people. Someone must step and change that goal.

Helen Thomas Retires Immediately: Thomas Officially a White House Press Corpse

White House press crone, Helen Thomas, got herself in too deep for anyone to save her, and we can bet many tried. She says she will retire immediately. Perhaps she was shown the door by her employer, The Hearst Corporation. Hearst made the announcement of her "immediate" retirement today. Helen once said, "I think I'll work all my life. When you're having fun, why stop having fun?"  Someone decided to end her fun." As a member of the White House Press Corps, Helen is officially a White House Press Corpse. See videos below.

Helen Thomas 

(pearls receive cruel and unusual punishment from Helen)

A great irony in this story is that Thomas was invited by the White House to the Jewish Heritage Month reception at the White House on May 27th. She was born in Kentucky to immigrants from Tripoli, Lebanon. Her parents were Christian. She was raised in Detroit, Michigan. Should that matter? Apparently it does, and perhaps she still has family living in Lebanon who are Muslim.

The first question is, why would someone with apparent and out-spoken sympathies for "Palestine," be invited to the Jewish Heritage reception? A Jewish blogger attending the reception asked The Crone for a comment on Israel:

Helen Thomas 

When specifically asked about the Palestinian conflict, she told the reporter to "tell them (Israelis) to get the hell out of Palestine." Later in the interview she said the Israelis should go home to Poland or Germany, American, and everywhere else."

Over the last few years, Thomas has often revealed her anti-Semitic viewpoint. Without asking an honest question, she has tip-toed all around her support for Palestine, all-the-while perched on one of the coveted front row seats in the newly redone White House Press room, paid for by taxpayers, she has tried to keep a focus on Palestine.

In the first video below, taped after the Christmas Day Underpants Bomber attempted-attack, you'll hear her ask Homeland Security Secretary, Janet Napolitano, why the government never explains their [jihadists] "motivation" to "do us harm" She's right about that. She wouldn't like the answer, though, if an honest answer was given. Helen's face doesn't lend itself to looking coy, but she tried her best.

One such White House Press Conference had the late Press Secretary Tony Snow thanking her for giving the "Hezbollah" view.

In March 2010 she chastised the White House for our "commitment" to keep Israel safe. At the same press conference she said "...it's against International Law to annex occupied land." It was convenient for both White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs and Thomas not to mention that  Jordan sits on 77% of the landmass mandated for the Jewish homeland and today, Israel has the legal right to far more land than they have claimed. We never, ever hear this:

The Jewish homeland was to consist of all the land west of the Jordan River, stretching to the Mediterranean Sea - and including the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. The the Arabs would not have it. The League of Nations dissolved into the United Nations and the problem was handed over to the U.N., including the trusteeship of the British mandate to make a Jewish state a reality. The Mandate stood.

U.N. Resolution 181, known also as the U.N. 1947 Partition Resolution, was passed by the U.N. General Assembly, and implemented but never accepted by the Arabs.

The land given to Jordan to be ruled by a Saudi son, in no way changed the status of the Jews west of the Jordan River, nor did it inhibit their right to settle anywhere in western Palestine, the area between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.

These documents are the last legally binding documents regarding the status of what is commonly called "the West Bank and Gaza." Arabs adore the U.N. They accept everything the U.N. says as Koranic. But they decided they would not accept a Jewish homeland and they have never wavered. Thomas must know, though that the Partition is legal, and if Israel wanted more land, they could legally take it, because there is law behind the mandates and the Partition. Israel has given up much in the quest for peace - a peace that never comes. Helen Thomas knows this.

Once more for emphasis, since the press won't touch this:

The Mandate survived the demise of the League of Nations. Article 80 of the UN Charter implicitly recognizes the “Mandate for Palestine” of the League of Nations.

This Mandate granted Jews the irrevocable right to settle anywhere in Palestine, the area between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, a right unaltered in international law and valid to this day. Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria (i.e. the West Bank), Gaza and the whole of Jerusalem are legal.

The International Court of Justice reaffirmed the meaning and validity of Article 80 in three separate cases: (read them here.)

In other words, neither the ICJ nor the UN General Assembly can arbitrarily change the status of Jewish settlement as set forth in the “Mandate for Palestine,” an international accord that has never been amended.

Everyone, including all of Hollywood, thinking Israel "stole" land in Palestine should do some research. Ask any Librarian. She/he will show you how.

Little did we know when Thomas sent out her invitation for all Jews to leave Israel, she was doing us a favor. She swathed it in evil, and hurt many people, but today she is gone from the front row of the White House Press room. Now she will be fawned over by the Left as a meaningful Matriarch for keeping the White House honest. What I love most is that whether by her design or at Heart's bidding, she is leaving immediately. Someone is very, very unhappy. There wasn't even time for a big D.C. retirement bash.

Barney Frank Ashamed to be Jewish: What Frank Could Say From His Congressional Podium

Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass) joined the tirade against Israel for the deaths on the Terror Flotilla, and called for an impartial inquiry - as if such a thing is possible. Frank went beyond the Flotilla, criticizing Israel's treatment of Arabs and the settlements in the West Bank, both of which "as a Jew," make him "ashamed." No surprise here, really. Many Jews in America seem to be ashamed to be Jewish, and they certainly seem to be ashamed of Israel. It's one of the great mysteries of my lifetime. Outside of Israel, Jews savage those inside Israel. See a video below.

The Two-Step Program by Dry Bones

Barney Frank's comment doesn't warrant much attention. He's another Congressional Clown. He sits ensconced in prestige with access to plenty of podiums from which to speak, and when he gets to a mic, he rails against Israelis who protect the homeland - every single day.

As a congressman, I think of the ways Barney Frank might help support Israel:

From the podium always available to Barney Frank, think how he could educate Americans, and the world, on the truth about Israeli borders, about the land assigned by the League of Nations, about the Mandates for forming the Nation of Israel, and about the friendship between the British and the Mufti of Jerusalem - and how, because of that friendship, Israel was forced to accept a tiny slice of land, just minutiae compared to what should have been theirs.

From the podium always available to Barney Frank, he could explain to the world that "Palestinians" are not a "people." Palestinians were Philistines, Mediterraneans, which came to the area. They were not Arabs. Arabs are not Palestinians. No one proclaimed to be a Palestinian. No one is a Palestinian. Only when Israel began their statehood, did the Arab campaign begin to claim the unclaimed land and name it Palestine, or to call for it's 'being.'

From the podium always available to Barney Frank, he could explain the various Charters and Constitutions of Israel's next door neighbors:

Fatah Constitution Articles 12 and 19: Calls for the "complete eradication of Zionist economic, political, military and cultural existence. Armed struggle is a strategy and not a tactic. Armed Revolution is a decisive factor in...uprooting the Zionist existence, this struggle will not cease unless the Zionist state is demolished...

The PLO Charter Article 15 calls for the "liquidation of the Zionist presence" in Palestine.

The Hamas Charter calls for jihad, and jihad as the duty of every Moslem

From the podium always available to Barney Frank, he could explain the numerous times Israel has agreed to a two-state solution, IF Arabs agree to eliminate the clauses about Jewish extermination from their Constitutions and Charters. "Arabs" always refuse.

There are approximately 44 Jewish members of the 111th Congress. They are ALL Democrats except Republican Eric Cantor. All Democrats, folks, and we hear no real support for Israel coming out of Capitol Hill. Eric Cantor is continually denigrated by his Hill peers, and by the press, for working for the safety of Israel. No other Jews climbs to that podium to echo Cantor's call. However, many non-Jewish Republicans do.

I am embarrassed that Barney Frank is an American Congressman. I am embarrassed that Barack Obama is our president, and embarrassed that he has shunned Benjamin Netanyahu over and over. I suppose when the jihad comes, Frank thinks they will pat him on the back and ask him to share their evening prayer rug. One thing for certain, he doesn't care what Islam plans for Jews in Israel. In the video below,  Barney Frank explains his position. Thanks to RightPundits for the video. Check-out their excellent round-up of Barney posts. If anyone can explain why Jews outside of Israel, continually savage Jews inside Israel, please enlighten me.

Furkan Dogan American Dead on Gaza Flotilla: Furkan Dogan Turkish American Dead on Gaza Flotilla

Furkan Dogan was among the dead on board the Gaza Flotilla, on the Mavi Marmara. The ship was stopped by Israeli IDF to be searched for weapons destined for Gaza. Dogan was a U.S. citizen and a Turkish-American. He lived in Turkey. Eight other Turks died as the ship's passengers attacked the Israeli military.

Furkan Dogan

Mr. Dogan was a 19-year-old high school student from the town of Kayseri. He was born in Troy, New York and moved with his family to Turkey when he was 2-years-old.

The blockade of ships going into Gaza has been in place for a number of years. Israel conducts the search, removes weaponry and send the ships on their way. This time, the flotilla knew they would be stopped and searched, and decided to aggressively stop it. Some aboard the ship used metal rods, heavy chains - they threw plates and worse. People on both sides died.

I don't know this young man's thinking for being aboard this boat that Turkey wants to spin as "charity." Turkey admits it was a "test." I don't know how Dogan was caught up in the fighting, but there is one thing very clear, every Muslim country in the area, including Turkey, wants to do away with Israel and with Jews. Israel has the right to blockade according to international law. They have to do it. They don't have a choice.

Hamas Flotilla Aid: Hamas Flotilla Aid Refused

Israel trucked the cleared aid from the terrorist flotilla to the Gaza border, but Hamas refused to accept the delivery. Apparently, Gaza doesn't-need-no stinkin'-aid until  Israel has released all detainees, including all al-Qaeda and Muslim Brotherhood members.

Israel-Gaza-Egypt Borders

Twenty trucks of aid were refused. Will Israel truck it back to the border when Hamas gets in the mood?

If you believe Israel is "occupying," do some research, because you are wrong. "Occupation" aside, Hamas and Hizbollah charters call for the extermination of Israel. Until that changes, there will be no peace. It won't change, so get used to the fact that there will be no peace - which is exactly the way Hamas wants it.

Israel Protects Right to Search Ships Bound for Gaza: IDF Video

A few days ago, President Obama said the War on Terror is over, and we learned that Syria has 1,000 ballistic missiles pointed at Israel, courtesy of Iran. In the same time span, Hizballah received 1,000 rockets, courtesy of Iran. Israel is the only country that will receive these rockets - intended for launch into Israel. Also a few days ago, Israel was notified that a "six boat flotilla" of ships carrying "aid" to Gaza would pass through their blockade. Israel considered the "flotilla" "an act of provocation," and notified Turkey the "flotilla" would be searched at their port at Ashdod. In the past, numerous ships carrying supposed aid to Gaza have been stopped and found to be carrying weapons. Apparently the "flotilla" had no plans to be search. See a revealing video below - and remember, Israel had the right to board the ship, even though the ship was in international waters.

Flag of Israel

Israeli commandos boarded one of the ships and there were deaths on both sides. There is a blockade in place. This incident was not about humanitarian aid, but was about putting Israel in a terrible place in the eyes of the world. How many journalists were aboard that Turkish cruise ship?

The Israeli Navy contacted the ships and warned them they would not allowed to break the blockade, as provided by the Oslo Accords:

International law allows for countries to ask suspicious boats to identify themselves. The vessels' passengers did not cooperate and called the move "scare tactics" on their streamed broadcasts.

The request was refused. Here's what happened next:

The IDF searched the boats for arms immediately after the takeover. The soldiers were forced to use tear gas after they were attacked with knives, daggers and cudgels, putting their lives in danger. Unofficial reports that ten persons have been killed and another ten wounded were admitted to Rambam Hospital in Haifa were changed by the Arab television station Al Jazeera, to two killed and four wounded. An Al Jazeera reporter on one of the boats reported hearing gunshots. 

Israel was set-up for a peaceful search. There was no way for Israel to discern the truth without boarding the ship.

 The preparations included a compound at the Ashdod port consisting of air conditioned tents equipped with computerized stations, metal detectors, and seating for the activists manning the ships. The IDF is preparing for the arrival of some 800 peace activists. The IDF said that they were ready to carry out the government's decision to prevent the ships from reaching the Gaza shore.

The IDF said Thursday that much thought was put into the preparations for the convoy's arrival. The plans include trained navy forces boarding the ships, with the aid of dogs, to search for weapons and explosives as well as wanted terrorists. The IDF said that they did not know whether the ships carried these items or people, but that they were preparing for any possible scenario to prevent potential catastrophes.  

Nine activists agitators terrorists are reported dead. Seven IDF are injured, two gravely.  An Israeli IDF who boarded the ship said the activists tried to take hostages - Israeli hostages are the dream of Palestinians. In the video below, you will see an Israeli Navy Seal thrown overboard. This ship knew the search would be peaceful. The terrorists aboard laid-in-wait and attacked before the Israeli's feet hit the deck. Israel had the right to search!

He [Netanyahu] says hundreds of people on board that ship beat, clubbed and stabbed soldiers, and there was a report of gunfire. He says that forced soldiers to attack.

With the defection of the U.S., the world's governments have finally fallen into the footsteps of the Islamic-dominated U.N. The U.N. is meeting to discuss the horror of Israel's deeds. The world is now positioned against Israel. The War on Terror continues. The video below shows the violence against the IDF, and this IDF video is even better.
