I came across this article on Ynet about the IDF needed better PR.  Heck, Israel needs much better PR as they’ve had circles run around them by the Arabs for as long as anyone can remember.  I just wanted to quote one of the comments, as its humorous and 100% correct: Read more »

Operation Cast Lead

Looks like the rest of the world is finally waking up to the realities of what Israel had to do.  That, or they realized the implications that sending the Goldstone report to the UNSC for debate may later have against their own ability to fight terror.  China announced today that they will not allow the Goldstone report to serve as a basis of lawsuits against Israel in the International Criminal Court at the Hague, nor will it be discussed at the UNSC.

Raed Salah at the Temple Mount

Salah, the head of the Islamic Movement’s Northern Branch was arrested in Wadi Joz for incitement and sedition.  This guy has 7 impending police investigations against him and the best the courts can do is send him home and tell him not to go to Jerusalem for 30 days.

Why the Israeli court system thinks this is a smart idea I’ll never know.  But, sadly, this goes along with the current ‘kid gloves’ approach the Israeli government takes with any Arab of any note who has a beef with Israel.  You can read more crap like this from Ahmed Tibi, an MK who for some reason, Israel chooses to allow to stay in the Knesset when he should be turned out of the country or at least in jail.  The sad part is, he is representing the point of view of his constituency.  He must be, as he keeps getting re-elected.  Oh well, at least we know what the people who keep putting him in office are thinking.

Now you even have Fatah members saying, “Yup, if Israel doesn’t back off, there will be a third Intifada’.  Great….the whole chorus is singing.  Why no one internationally is trying to help Israel get the Arabs to back off is beyond me, but as mentioned previously, if they want to start another Intifada, Israel should defend itself and it’s citizens accordingly with all due force.

I’m sure by this point, everyone has heard just about everything there is to hear in regards to the attack on Yaffa Street yesterday. 3 people (I had said 4, sorry) were laid to rest yesterday and today and scores more are still injured, physically and emotionally. We’ve heard cries for knocking down the terrorist’s house from Olmert and others and hand-wringing from the family members. A few things stuck out in my mind:

In contrast to the awful deal approved the other day for the return of the bodies of Regev and Goldwasser, the Knesset finally did something intelligent they should have done a long time ago. They finally approved a law (52-24) that prevents any MK from traveling to an enemy country (as defined by Israel). Doing so prevents them from running for Knesset for the next 7 years (and from the Jpost article it seems to infer that it may be somewhat retroactive)

Whose up in arms about this? Read more »
