If you can't do a job properly..................

Yet again the US President Obama shows the world how unable he is to act like a statesman or cope with world problems.

Obama was unwise to lay down a red line over chemical weapons use, but once done, he should have acted decisively. Instead we see the americans psyching themselves up, explaining why they are certain that despite Assad's denials, it was Syria which used the nerve gas Sarin to clear areas of Damascus of the rebels who were gearing up for an offensive (Damascus is the Assad regime's own red line. Assad can not afford to lose much more of that city or indeed of the areas beyond it needed to protect the alawite homelands). Yet now Obama says he won't attack until he gets the authorization from Congress. Obama is just like the blustering man threatening to fight, yet secretly happy when he's held back. Such behavior doesn't impress on the world stage.

After lightweight David Cameron's posturing, the British people put him in his place. Britain has little more stomach for exerting its imperial will anymore, especially as British bodybags are still regularly returning from Afghanistan. Britain is now detached from any attack on the Assad regime, which is just as well. Enough damage was done in Libya to the region's security.

Obama has dearly wished to avoid attacking Assad and will when he finally gets the okay from Congress to mount an attack, will do the minimum necessary to show that he means what he says. But the fact is that nobody believes a word Obama says, not in the middle east, not in China, Russia, or in the Philippines, Japan or Taiwan.

USA policy in the middle east is seen as supporting islamist Turkey, the Muslim Brotherhood, and extremist jihadists in Syria rather than the secular moderates. The egyptian military which decided to take back their country after the popular uprising has thumbed its nose at British and USA cries of 'democracy'. Egyptians had enough of being dragged into the middle ages by Morsy. Egyptians understood what the West, even after the Hamas coup don't understand, that islamists like the nazis, take power through the ballot box to impose tyranny, oppression of minorities and the police state. That is not what people in the west understand by the word 'democracy', but its good enough for western journalists and politicians.

Thanks to support of islamists, the secular opposition cause in Syria is all but lost now because of this with two sides of islam, shia and sunni slugging it out against each other. As someone who cares about Israel above all, I find it hard to cry for a secular opposition in Syria who repeatedly in the past have shouted their hatred of the Jewish People and Israel. If people want to be my enemies, to destroy Israel for no reason, then i'm not going to cry that they are suffering. If people are so full of hatred, pull up the drawbridge and let them get on with it. Yet Israel does not do that, it has set up a field hospital on the syrian border, and treats their wounded when they come by. I can't fathom the goodness of Israel's leaders.  Why spend tiny Israel's limited means on helping its enemies? Surely the funds spent should go on reinforcing still undefended schools and nurseries in Sderot and surrounding communities from Hamas missiles?

The utter depravity of this islamic conflict was brought home with a video on youtube of 3 truck driversstopped at a jihadist checkpoint. After ascertaining that these men were shia/alawite, they were executed. 

It is horrific to watch, almost impossible for a western mind to comprehend, but Obama has favored a side in Syria that kills people purely on account of their religion. 

What could be more harmless, more normal than truck drivers, working to keep their families fed? But they were marked out for extermination by the jihadists, so proud of their guns, their black flag and their demonic music.

On the other side is Assad, every bit as cruel, as his opponents, and he has used chemical weapons on a frequent basis, with the latest massacre of around 1500 people. He should be punished, but that punishment should have been swift and uncompromising. Instead Assad has been allowed to move his strategic assets out of harms way, and the american attack will in any case be most likely no more than a pin prick.

That pin prick will not deter Assad, but it could very well see Israel attacked and dragged into the war by the Assad regime, Hezbollah and Iran which time and again have reiterated their intention to attack Israel. Hopefully Israel's warnings will be enough to prevent them from doing this, but anything can happen with crazed fanatics.

The USA should not attack at all, if it does not intend to inflict major damage on Assad.

Just making a show of an attack will further destabilize the middle east, bringing Israel into the conflict and possibly tearing Lebanon apart in the process, not that I have much sympathy for the duplicitous Lebanese who are allies one day and your enemies the next.

The wises course is that Israel has taken until now, to sit and watch the lunatics killing each other, and be thankful they are too engaged to think about you. Thanks to Obama, the lunatics are going to be given the pretext to drag neutral Israel into the fighting.

Hopefully this won't happen, that Obama will have his little fireworks party over Syria, and the islam inspired blood crazed fanatics will be content to continue their warfare without expanding their war Israel. Unlike Obama's total lack of interest in what will happen to ally Israel if he puts on a show to salvage what little respect is left for the USA nowadays (and losing even that in the process), Netanyahu has made it clear how intense will be Israel's response if it is attacked.

Netanyahu will reestablish Israel's deterrent credentials if attacked, and then let the barbarians next door carry on as usual, tearing themselves apart.

Those who have been so intent on murdering jews for so many years, the Assad regime, the palestinian arabs and Hezbollah who have spilled so much blood in Israel, are now punishing themselves. Good luck to them.

The G-d of Israel works in strange ways to protect his people.

Why Obama is pushing 'peace' talks with arabs who repeatedly declare their intentions to destroy Israel

Obama's charade of peace talks between Israel and palestinian arabs has not only had nothing to do with peace (that has been obvious all along to the unblinkered), but to service two goals, that of 1) divesting Israel of all of its ancestral lands, and 2) of keeping Israel's leadership so busy that it can not meet to discuss the awful decisions necessary to strike Iran.

It is not otherwise logical that the President of the United States should invest his time, and his Secretary of State's time  so profusely whilst the rest of the middle east is literally burning.

Israel is a tiny state surrounded by enemies, and Obama wants at this dangerous time for Israel to give up its strategic high ground? Israel can not be defended without its high ground, just a few miles, literally, from its only international airport and the majority of its population centers in the low lying coastal areas.

It is sad to see that Israel's leader at this time is a silvery tongued diplomat rather than an iron willed Ben-Gurion. Israel has rolled over time and again to receive Obama's tickles on its tummy, his oft repeated guarantees that America will always have Israel's back. And during all this Kerry the Iran lover, Samantha Power ('attack Israel') and the rest of Obama's Israel hating team are sharpening the knife to help arabs slaughter, our nation. We've been there before in 1948 when Britain did the same thing. It is so sad to see this being prepared by the great nation which was the very first to recognize the rebirth of the Jewish State after 2,000 years.

Israel whilst loving the american people must come out from the umbrella of a USA which whilst compelling Israel to join talks in  preparation for its own funeral, forces Israel's prime minister Netanyahu to pay for this  release over a hundred of the most heinous arab killers. Yet again Israel is forced to make gestures to genocidally inclined arabs, who honor the murderers and give nothing but assurances as to Israel's coming destruction.

Israel must say no to any more releases of these killers of old men and women, of holocaust survivors and children.

This release is the latest in a series that have over the years made a mockery of Israel's justice system, as only jews ever serve their full sentences. Israel's population where every family has lost at least one member in the wars arabs forced upon it are sick and tired of being made to pay a blood price every time, solely because they are a moral nation.

It is time that Israel forgets the false morals that the world demands of Israel, morals which prevent Israel ever winning its wars, morals which only apply to Israel and to a lesser extent to western democracies. As someone who has in the past been against the brutal death penalty I find myself in Israel's case becoming increasingly for it.

If there is no opportunity to make mass murderers sit in a cell for the rest of their lives after having taken innocent blood, then they need to be executed after due process.

Israel has a right to protect its society, even if Obama, Kerry and the rest of his evil pack don't believe so.

If Israel does not do reinstitute the death penalty, then its soldiers will probably take matters into their own hands which is not the best solution. It is a better solution however than seeing time after time these prisoner releases which have led to hundreds more deaths of Israelis in the recent past.

Morality demands that arab murderers be punished, just as the USA never releases prisoners, and only this week the USA condemned Mexico for releasing a drug gang leader who killed an american.

This is the world's morality. Jews must time and again be compelled to turn the other cheek and forgive those who destroy our people.

Israel is badly served by its leaders in the face of the most anti-Israel american administration ever.

Shabbat shalom

Yet again the USA undermines the security of Israel

The american people are solidly pro-Israel, for the very good reason that they understand that the same enemies who attack Israel, also constantly plot and plan to attack americans. Americans know that the outpost of western civilization in the middle east is a solid and dependable ally for americans, updating US weapons, giving american forces Israeli knowhow bought with israeli soldiers' lives.

Yet the US president Obama has from the moment he came to power shown his enmity for Israel. Apart from his friendship with Israel's enemies in the past, his over 20 years relationship with the antisemitic pastor Wright, he has surrounded himself with advisers who have shown not just their hatred of Israel (Samantha Power), but even of friendship with Iran (Kerry).

Obama's latest ruse is that Israel should release over a hundred terrorists who have the blood of over a thousand Israelis on their hands. Would the USA ever release murderers of americans for any reason? Yet Obama has forced Netanyahu to release these killers, not for peace, not even for the hope of peace, but just so that Kerry can put a notch in  his belt.

The killers will be released so that palestinian arab terrorist in chief Muhammad Abbas, the financier of the Munich Olympics Massacre of 1972 will agree to sit at the same table as Israelis.

Has the world gone mad?

I pity Netanyahu because nobody but he knows the pressure the president of the USA put on him. What does come to mind however is Yitchak Shamir's warning around 30 years ago that Netanyahu was not to be trusted. When it comes to Israel's security, Netanyahu can weave a fine speech, can put Obama in his place, but he will nevertheless cave in.

By forcing through the releasing of these blood soaked prisoners Netanyahu has yet again sold Israel out. Israelis will pay with their lives for the 104 terrorists with blood on their hands. The murderers will soon go back to work for a palestinian arab regime which lauds the murderers of  jews constantly, in its press, on tv, with special shows for children preaching hate of jews, with roads and squares named after heinous murderers of jews. In the PA dead terrorists are not dead criminals but 'shahids', 'martyrs'.

Only last week a senior Palestinian Authority official said that peace discussions with Israel were like the 'hadabiya' treaty where the muslim founder Mohammed tricked the jews of Quraish into a ten year treaty. The 'prophet' broke the treaty two years later.

This attack on Israel by Obama and his henchmen is just another front in his attempt to fundamentally undermine the Jewish State. We still have the demand that Israel withdraw from its secure positions on the ancient jewish homelands of Judea and Samaria.

Netanyahu's unwise recognition of the false arab palestinian 'people' was the first mistake. The arabs living in Judea and Samaria want nothing less than the destruction of Israel. It is not land they need, but a warning that their homeland is the territory that is 80% of British Mandatory Palestine, before being broken off by Britain. It is there that they should seek their homeland, and there they will need to go if they attack Israel again.

Netanyahu must not again be allowed to implement such a fundamentally divisive plan to let a large group of murderers out of prison. Israel's security is now heavily damaged, as the head of the Shin Bet Yoram Cohen advised.

"The chance that the prisoners will go back to terrorism is relatively large,” he said. Experience shows that as the years pass from the terrorists' release, they tend to go back to the activity that landed them in jail, he added.

Netanyahu's behavior in recognising the fake arab palestinians, the stopping of the building of housing for jewish communities in Yesha etc has been explained as a way to get the USA to back Israel if it attacks Iran.
This is a ludicrous argument. If Israel attacks Iran's nuclear installations, it will be doing what the USA should itself be doing. Israel does not need to 'buy' the attack by compromising the lives of its people, time after time after time.

Netanyahu has gone too far with this release of the most dastardly of murderers of jews, and has thereby prepared the ground for more and greater demands by Obama for 'concessions' by Israel, even as the middle east seethes with islamic violence.

I first warned about Obama here some years ago. This enemy of Israel keeps inveigling Israel with sweet words whilst undermining its security on many levels, even to setting up a jewish front group, 'J Street' to attack Israel in the name of jews.

Netanyahu knows full well what Obama is about, the man who destroyed the peace in Libya, Mali and Egypt. Yet Netanyahu can not protect Israel from the depredations of this man.  Israel must give no more, and that means Israel's latest appeaser Netanyahu must go.

It is time for the Likud to oust Netanyahu and find a prime minister with a spine.

Israel's enemies always want one more concession, now to admit it was "wrong" defending itself from the Mavi Marmara terrorists

Stabbed Israeli soldier , Reuters photoshopped out the knife/blood

Knife held by 'non-violent' IHH 'charity worker'

Obama instructed Israel's PM Netanyahu to apologize for having killed turkish terrorists who had violently attacked its initial boarding party who had been armed with paintball guns. Obama even stood by while Netanyahu made the call to Obama's best friend Erdogan..

The boarding party had been enforcing a legal blockade of Gaza to stop the importation by ship of even more massive amounts of military hardware than they already had. The boarding party had already taken over 5 boats peacefully, but the Mavi Marmara boat was different. The IHH 'charity' terrorists sponsored by Turkey's government were determined to have a fight, and beat to a pulp the soldiers who came on the ship.

Israel maintained that it had done no wrong, but in the interests in peace with the USA, and with Turkey agreed to apologize and pay compensation.

Netanyahu is no fool and knew that to make an agreement with an islamist government is to build castles on sand. And now we see it, yet again. Turkey is now saying that although the money Israel is offering in compensation to the families of the terrorists, Israel must again make an admission, that it was in the wrong. Turkey is determined to rub Israel's nose in the mud.

The Turkish government, in the best traditions of the islamist always hangs out the carrot of peace and reconciliation, if only the infidel will go one extra step, debase himself one more time.

 The Jewish state, he said, must acknowledge that the money it is paying to the victims is a result of its committing a wrongful act.

Such an admission will of course be the basis of the opening of legal proceedings against Israel in the International Criminal Court, another islamist front in the war against Israel and the West.

 But just in case Netanyahu is forced to do even that and make this statement, the fallback position is ready already so that Turkey will be able to withold the expected normalizing of relations with Israel.

“There are two problematic areas. The first one is that Israel should accept that it’s paying this money as a result of its wrongful act. Nothing less than this will be accepted. And second, we are waiting for them to realize our third condition of cooperating with Turkey in making life conditions easier for Palestinians.

Yes, the 'palestinians', the trusty get out clause. Israel can follow all the twists and turns of the turkish islamist mindset, make the apology again, set itself up for endless lawfare against it with its admissions, pay compensation, yet still find as with the mirage, that reconciliation with Turkey is still over the horizon, because of the palestinian arabs.

When will Israel learn? Hopefully Netanyahu will resist the temptation to try that little bit harder, make that one extra 'painful concession.'

With the islamist the concessions are always one sided, with an aim to weakening the infidel. Israel must resist this taqqiya tactic of holding out the hope of peace.

Israel must resist despite the relentless pressure of the evil Obama regime for Israel to give up essential positions and territory.


Turkey’s Deputy Prime Minister says his country will not be satisfied with Israel simply paying compensation to the Marmara victims.
 By Elad Benari

Despite Israel’s apology to Turkey over the Mavi Marmara incident and the talks on compensation to the victims, Turkey is continuing to make reconciliation between the two countries difficult.

On Wednesday, Turkey’s Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc said that his country will not be satisfied with Israel simply paying compensation to the Marmara victims. The Jewish state, he said, must acknowledge that the money it is paying to the victims is a result of its committing a wrongful act.

“In our first meeting [the Israelis] showed no opposition to this. But in the second meeting, they intended to give an ex gratia payment as a form of reparation because they fear compensation [as a result of their wrongful act] will set an example for other cases, which is not a concern to us,” Arinc was quoted by the Turkish daily Hurriyet as having told Ankara bureau chiefs.

“The amount of money is not the problem,” Arinc explained, according to the Hurriyet. “There are two problematic areas. The first one is that Israel should accept that it’s paying this money as a result of its wrongful act. Nothing less than this will be accepted. And second, we are waiting for them to realize our third condition of cooperating with Turkey in making life conditions easier for Palestinians. We are not talking about the amount of money as our first two conditions have not been met.”

He added, “We are not going to rush for the money. Israel has to accept its wrongful act. Otherwise we will not say ‘yes’ to them.”

Under pressure from U.S. President Barack Obama, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu apologized in March to Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan for the deaths of nine Turks in the 2010 flotilla.

Netanyahu, in addition to the apology, agreed to compensate the families of the nine Turks, while Erdogan promised to cancel the legal proceedings his country launched against IDF officials.

The nine Turks died when Israeli commandos staged a raid on a six-ship flotilla seeking to violate Israel's naval blockade of Gaza on May 31, 2010.

They died on the Mavi Marmara, which refused Israeli orders to dock at the Ashdod Port. When the ship refused, the commandos boarded it, encountering violence from the members of the IHH organization who were on board and who attacked them with clubs and knives. The soldiers had no choice but to open fire.

Reports have indicated that Israeli and Turkish officials have made progress in talks on compensation for the Marmara incident, but a deal is yet to be finalized.

If an agreement can be reached between Turkey and Israel, said Arinc, it will be brought to Parliament as an international agreement and will have an effect on ongoing cases opened against the Israeli state by the victims’ families.

“There cannot be two separate legal attempts to seek compensation. If the governments agree, it will cover [the victims’] demand for compensation as well,” he explained.

One of the flotilla participants from the Mavi Marmara has already indicated he would give all the compensation money he receives to Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists.

A poll released earlier this month found that Israelis are unhappy with the apology to Turkey. 85% of respondents said the chances of their going on vacation to Turkey in the near future are very low.

Only 28% of Israelis believe that relations between Israel and Turkey under Erdogan will improve in the near future, while 42% think relations will stay the same and 30% believe they will deteriorate further.

Most Israelis (71%) believe Israel's apology to Turkey was not justified, while only 29% think it was, the poll found.

Lebanese come knocking on Assad's door whilst syrians get treated at the new 'good fence'

Western media has always been ready to massage the public image of arab dictators

In this report of the untimely demise of Assad's top thug in Lebanon, “Mohammad Jemo, a Syrian Baath Party official and staunch supporter of President Bashar Assad ”, we don't actually get to read about just what his job was, but it's not hard to guess.

His daughter seems quite upset, for herself of course.

"Where are you dad? Who else is going to pamper me now?" Fatmeh cried.

Just as the girl is obsessed with herself rather than daddy, her dad had his own narcissistic pastime, described by the news website as a “passion for photography:”

Jemo was known for his passion for photography. Pictures of him with Assad as well as with several Lebanese leaders, including Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri and Free Patriotic Movement head Michel Aoun, were hanging on the wall of the sitting room.

The Assad regime has terrorized Lebanon for 40 years, not to mention the terrible crimes it has committed against the Israeli people during that time through the various terrorist proxies it controlled. I can't have any sympathy for this parasitic family that lived off the misery of Lebanese people, blew up lebanese politicians and their prime minister Rafiq Hariri, and was most likely deeply involved in organising the terror committed against Israel by the syrian/iranian proxy Hezbollah.

The dead Baathist thug's wife said that, “her husband had visited Syria very frequently and:

 "Oh I wish he’d stayed there."

Maybe she's unaware that Syria itself is having a few problems at the moment?

Bashar Assad's wife, Asma el Assad, the 'Desert Rose'of Vogue magazine is obviously thinking similar thoughts about why she left London to become a mass murderer's wife (even before the Arab Spring the Assads were known for the brutality of their regime, their secret mukhabarrat prisons where political detainees were never seen again).

Our dear  'Desert Rose' (original article scrubbed from internet but still available here ) it may be remembered cried buckets of crocodile tears over the 'poor palestinians', of' 800 dead (most of them Hamas terrorists who never wear  uniform when attacking Israelis), and 22,000 displaced', just before the reality of the regime she married into became known'. Since then Asma has strangely lost her voice for the genuinely weak and dispossessed.

Asma has no words to comfort those beaten to death by her regime's troops (not that the opposition are any kinder to syrian soldiers they catch. Youtube is full of video of prisoners of both sides being beaten to death)

I can't help smiling when watching the (full) Asma el Assad video, seeing her tripping up on those lines she's been so carefully been primed to say.

Whether the Assads finally get the Ghadaffi treatment, Syria's war has as I predicted before, now come to Lebanon. 

The war in Syria, as if any further proof was needed, has come to Lebanon – not just on its borders or in remote rural areas, but throughout the country, from the capital to any given place, on any given day.

Those who spend their lives hating and attacking Israel are constantly reminded that their works will be frustrated. Many of these people are even now queuing up at the border on the Golan Heights for medical treatment from the 'Little Satan'.

The Boston bombing was preventable but for willful blindness as to islamic terror

In the wake of the Boston terrorist massacre Tsarnaev has been linked to three earlier murders. Had the police done their job then, the islamist killers woiuld not have later gone on to commit a further massacre.

Were the police just lazy, stupid, or were they mentally bound by the prohibition against profiling anyone, against the FBI teaching about islamic thought and the way some muslims go about their grizly business.

Okay these jewish people were not society's best, they were dealers in soft drugs at least, and that is one reason that police may have been less interested than usual in investigating their deaths. But a mass killing in such a strange manner might have elicited some interest from the police?

That the killer or killers did not shoot the victims, but slaughtered them all in the same manner by cutting their throats should have immediately aroused suspicion by a trained investigator that this was possibly committed by a muslim. This method of killing is ordered in the Qur'an, "strike at their necks", is the way muslims kill animals,  and is seen in every theatre of war that muslim terrorists are able to take prisoners.

But for politically correct training the link would have been naturally made between the method of killing, the date it happened and newly religious Tsarnaev. He could have been taken out of circulation.

But the priority nowadays for police enforcement in the West is not to catch killers prior to their acts, but to avoid racially profiling, or any other sort of profiling. Just as all passengers including the very old must be harassed at airports, so too with regards to privacy.  With PRISM we see nobody has privacy any more, everyone is targeted, which means that the criminals slip through the net. It is impossible for such a system to work, and USA authorities are unable to give any examples of where it has actually worked. Even if they bring up a dozen such cases, will that justify the expense, the theft of all our private data?

Lives are being lost because the White House is in thrall to muslim fundamentalists who promote the idea that to profile killers who act according to an evil creed is somehow 'racist.' Islam is not however a race, but a religion with some very problematic verses in its founding document, verses that call for the killing of apostates, of homosexuals, of non-believers. 

Is someone kills in the name of islam, it is madness not to study how he thinks and how he operates in the name of his religion. Yet that is exactly what Obama has forced USA security forces to do.

To ignore terror in islam's name, to force the retirement of FBI agents who taught about the relevance of islam to some killings, who taught agents how to discover plots hatched in the name of islam will inevitably lead to more killings such as in Fort Hood and Boston. This is not as some would have it in the politically correct lobby, a call to discriminate against muslims. Muslims suffer more than anyone from terror perpetrated in the name of islam and like us all need protection, muslims, jews and christians.

Obama has opened us all up to attack from the islamist terror which is commited in the name of islam.

Would the Syrian Druze like a place they can call home? It is time for Israel to help them achieve it

Druze soldier of the Herev Battalion wrapped in the Israeli flag

The Kurds have made it big out of the mess that is Syria. Syria it should be remembered was the unlikeliest of states having so many different ethnicities contained within it. In the middle east identifiable ethnic groups like to assert themselves where they can, or go to the wall. That Syria was a secular baathist state was in no small measure due to a minority alawite military caste holding the reigns of power. They knew that they needed a large measure of consensus in order to rule the country.

The consensus however did not extend to having a democratic system. In the middle east, as we have so clearly seen recently, democracy does not mean opportunities for all, but oppression by whichever majority rules. The Muslim Brotherhood carried out its oppression against secular and christian society just a little too fast for the liking of the army, and once the people spoke, took back the state. In Turkey where the islamists were more clever, the army was slowly neutralized as a threat before Erdogan began to move in earnest, in a way that could be instantly felt, against the majority population. Even then, with the Gezi protests Erdogan has had some  pushback.

In Syria once the people spoke, Bashir Assad attempted to use the old methods to suppress popular discontent, killings and arrests and disappearences. That did not help and now we have a country that is not a country any more. The Kurds in the north east have carved out their own independence in league with Iraqi Kurds, and the shia and sunni alliances are slogging it out.

Druze communities on Golan and in Syria need to unite into one enclave to resist militant islam, ensuring their survival against militant islam, and Israel's security

The Druze are a minority sitting astride Israel's border with Syria on the Golan heights, who until now gave their allegiance to the Assad regime, as did most of the Golan Druze. But now there must be those in the Druze community who would be only too receptive to being part of a wider alliance with Israel. The Druze can not but see just how unstable the arab world is, how well their bretheren who are loyal to Israel fare, and who will be open to some sort of alliance with Israel.

There is no need for Israel to ever set foot over into Syria, but if the Druze organize themselves with the help of Israeli druze, declare their own independence, then it will be a win-win situation for the Druze and Israel.
Israeli Druze are amongst Israel's fiercest soldiers who defend the border with Lebanon, who make up most of the Herev battalion.

The Druze should be offered help by Israel to carve out their own enclave on the border of Israel. This will have the advantage for Israel of making it even harder for arabs to try salami slicing of Israel on the Golan Heights at a future date. There will be an independent druze enclave in the way of this. For the druze, they will not be subject to the whims of a future islamic state, whether shia or sunni. Neither sunnis or shia will tolerate the druze in their future state, a community who they see as apostates who left islam, with the only punishment for that being death.

Israel might not want to involve itself in Syria, but there is now an opportunity to ensure its security in the  north with just the lightest of involvement, of guaranteeing that Israel will not again involve itself in negotiations designed to snatch essential territory away from Israel, and of giving a secure base from which the druze can organize themselves.

Instead of waiting for one side or the other to win in Syria Israel should make clear this new vision for the druze areas, work to break down the distrust between it and druze communities who fear being cast loose by Israel one day in a 'peace agreement'. Israel must make known that peace agreements will never again involve sacrificing lands.

Allowing a druze enclave to arise will be democratic Israel's contribution to mitigating the horror that is Syria. It will prevent the coming destruction of the druze community there, whilst at the same time ensure Israel's own security, before the islamist terror against Israel's Golan community begins.

Because neither side in Syria makes any secret that after they win, Israel is next.

Aiming for the 'Great Satan'

The islamic terror state of Iran doesn't do anything by halves, so whilst it's developing the means to wipe Israel off the map, it is also developing its long arm, the one that can reach the USA.

Just as Britain's Neville Chamberlain refused to see what Hitler was doing, gave Hitler just that little bit more time to swallow some more territory, another country with "peace in our time", so the USA has for many years strong-armed Israel into postponing any attack to prevent Iran's nuclear program.

The USA has had great success in doing this, to the point where it is questionable that Israel can any longer act alone to destroy the iranian nuclear program or at least its weapons component,  if it uses conventional forces. Iran is just too big, has been allowed to advance too far, to amass too much nuclear material and know how to be stopped by a tiny country of 7 million people.

Israel now has to hope that Iran is not mad enough to attack it, something which is not a given with a country run by a shia who believes in the "hidden Mahdi", whose return will be amidst a world conflagration, who believes that shia islam will soon take over the world.

So it must be very comforting for americans to also find out that Iran is developing a program just for them. ICBM's which can reach the USA are in development.  Surely it's not beyond Iran's capabilities to tip twenty or thirty of them with nuclear warheads?

And if Just three of them get through, we can say goodbye to New York, Washington and........... well how about Chicago, or Detroit, or Philadelphia. Maybe all of them.

Whilst the USA has been 'nation building' in Afghanistan and Iraq, promoting extremist islam throughout the arab world, and helping to bring Al Qaidah to the fore in north africa with the crazy toppling of Ghadaffi, the Iranians have been busy developing an existential threat not just for Israel, but for the USA.

It's almost too late, but don't worry, Mr Kerry has now visited Israel 6 times in the last few weeks to bully Israel into giving genocidal arabs more territory with which to attack Israel from.

Obama's USA at least knows where its priorities lie.

Where's the quid pro quo?

Israel has been asked many times by Egypt to suspend the clause in the Peace Treaty disallowing heavy armour into the border areas. Each time a request came in, Israel has acceded to that request, and the troops, the weapons, the armour  has poured in over the last few years.

Egypt might be fighting with Al Qaida in the Sinai desert at the moment, but all that armour and battalions of men and aircraft which sometimes just happen to stray into Israeli territory will remain on the border of Israel, a long-term threat to Israel's security.

Is it too much for Israel's leaders to ask at the very least for Egypt to give permission to Israel to pursue terrorists such as those who target Eilat with missiles every now and again from the safety of the egyptian Sinai desert  to be be subject to a new amendment to the peace treaty, of a 'hot pursuit' clause, such as that applied in europe's Shengen area?

We already know the answer to that one.

Israel is always expected to make concessions, to sacrifice its security.

How dare Israel expect anything in return?

Egypt, loyal christians and muslims contrasted with Neturei Karta thugs, and 5 year olds

This week the egyptian people took back their country from Obama and the Muslim Brotherhood. It has been yet another foreign policy disaster for the USA which had sided with anti-western fanatics intent on enslaving the middle-east under the banner of a rabid political islam which constantly reiterates its genocidal intentions for jews and christians in the region.

So Obama got his slap in the face, after Syria gave him a previous one some months ago when it broke Obama's 'red line' with impunity. Obama's belated response was to announce that he would arm the rebels. Since this has been happening in any case via Saudi Arabia and Qatar, Assad had little to lose.

America's stock in the region is at rock bottom (and in the wider world, especially the far east where China is militarizing the seas between Taiwan, the Philippines and Japan (the 'South China Sea'), and rapidly destroying any dreams Tibetans may have had to independence one day ( through massive programs of land seizures, transfers of its own ethnic chinese population and forced relocations of the Tibetan population).

The egyptian generals knew they had little to fear from an ignorant USA that has for years been backing the so-called 'democrats' of the MB. The MB are of course fanatics vehemently opposed to democracy in any shape or form unless like with Hamas the Brotherhood offshoot, it is to be elected on a one off basis, to govern forever.

American threats are so much hot air, and Obama can not even bring himself to have the courage of his own warped convictions and declare the coup for what it is. Albeit a popular coup it was still a military coup after 10 million people took to the streets calling for Morsy's ousting.

The irony of the situation is that although the MB have been knocked off their perch after all their actions to undermine the secular character of Egypt, Morsy's replacement himself wants a constitution based on shariah law. Hopefully he won't be imprisoning as many people as Morsy was doing, for the crime of 'insulting the president.'

The MB and the salafists are threatening a civil war but as long as the army does not join them they have little chance of bringing it off. The hunger of the last few months, the collapse of the economy, the queues for petrol, and the inability to afford even the most basic of necessities means that the MB have lost credence where it matters, in the ability to provide food for the people.

Saudi Arabia has this week stepped in to provide massive loans which will prop up the egyptian economy but whether even Saudi Arabia can provide the billions needed to prop up the egyptian economy indefinitely remains to be seen.

Should civil war break out, and should women continue to be harassed and raped whenever they set foot out of doors then the tourists won't return, and Egypt will continue to wither.

As far as Israel goes this week has seen the double phenomen of traitorous Haredi jews who paint palestinian flags on the walls of their community and attack soldiers in Meah Shearim, contrasted with more rumblings in the arab minority community, not against the State, but against the fifth column amongst them.

The Raed Salehs and the arab parliamentarians such as Zoabi. Zoabi had the cheek to call for the dismissal of a Greek orthodox monk Gabriel Naddaf who has supported voluntary enlistment of Israel's christians into the army. 

This latest of provocations by Zoabi added to a long list such as being present on the Mavi Marmara to morally support the IHH attack on Israeli soldiers elicited not only a response from other israeli parliamentarians, but from a young christian teenager.

 Raghda Gracie was scathing in the attack on Zoabi and other traitors who try to paint Israeli arabs as 'palestinians', saying that if people like Zoabi feel they are palestinian they should go live with them.  Raghda Gracie is not palestinian, or arab, but Israeli!

Haneen Zoabi has no right to speak in our name; we are Christians and not Palestinians. We were born in the State of Israel, which existed before we were born and I call on Zoabi stop speaking in our name as Arabs, Palestinians.

Another teenager Naradin Tuma has a similar message for anti-Israel MPs who sit in Israel's parliament taking fat salaries and allowances.

 

Israel is finally understanding that its minorities who want to show their loyalty to Israel must be supported. The more support they are given, the more that christians and muslims who now more than ever look around the middle-east and see what is happening in other countries, will breathe their sigh of relief and happily give their loyalty to Israel.

The arab maelstrom is having another spin off benefit to Israel. It is finally bringing home to Israelis who are not jews, just what a blessing Israeli democracy is for all its citizens.

Israel must learn the lesson of Obama, to not give in to his threats, his cajolings or his bribes. Yehudah and Shomron must be settled until our foes realize jews are back in their homelands the arabs threw them out of in the 1930's to stay. Arabs will slowly understand that, with time, as long as no more Olmerts and Ehud Baracks come along.

There was also the attempt by Btselem to show just how anti-Israel that organization is, a tool of propaganda for Israel's enemies. A 5 year old boy was caught throwing rocks at Israelis. Soldiers, without laying a hand on him made him wait until his father appeared and then handed them both over to palestinian police, who promptly released them.

Btselem is outraged that the soldiers frightened the child! Poor Adele Biton who is 3 years old will never have the opportunities that this palestinian arab child will have, because a rock hit her a few months ago and she is brain damaged. It is her that Btselem should have sympathy for, but as always with victims of arab terror there is none forthcoming.

Soldiers should have social workers attached to them to take rioting children who are out of control into care. Either that or detain the parents and fine or imprison them, or expel them to Gaza. Our arab enemies know the rules, and will always do what they can get away with. They must learn that there is a cost to their aggression or they will continue with their attacks, over 5,000 of them in the last six months.

Shabbat shalom, have a nice weekend.
