War in the North

This might be it.
A all out war may be breaking out as these words are being written.
An Israeli jeep has been hit with a anti tank missle and apparently there are dead and wounded.
If Israeli soldiers were killed than we are in the beginning of another war in the North.
It does not look good.
Israel is attacking with the air force targets on the Lebanese side of the border.
If Chizballah desides to launch missiles into Israel then another round of the ongoing Lebanon war will ensue.
Israel cannot and will not let a attack such go without a extreme response.
That response will likely trigger war in the north.
There was a first Lebanon war called "peace for Galilee"
It did not bring peace.
Then there was another war without a real name that left many in Israel feeling that the IDF was not ready for war.
It was not.
Since then the IDF has trained intensively preparing for what seems to be happening right now.
It looks like war.
So what else is new?

Obama is weak

The prime minister of Israel is to speak to the Congress of the United States without even meeting the president.The President does not want this meeting.
The official reason is that a meeting might be interpreted as trying to influence the upcoming Israeli elections.
The truth is that not having a meeting also influences the upcoming elections.
Making it look like there is extra strife between Obama and Netanyahu.
Obamas weakness with regard to Iran and Isil is very clear.
Negotiations with Iran have been dragging out for years and been extended twice.
The new world terror threat Isil has had relative immunity from Obama and the rest of the world.
The US and its allies know where Isil is and the infamous murderer Jihad John.
They have chosen for now to do little to stop Isil,
It is possible that a very detailed extensive mission is being planned to surprise and destroy much of Isil in a attack.
It is reasonable to assume that this contingency plan is being worked on right now.
Will Obama approve such a move?
He has consistently refrained from directly engaging extremist groups and there seems to be little reason to assume he will start now.
The Prime minister of Israel will tell the world what it needs to hear.
That would be that radical world Islam that promotes Jihad is a real threat to the world.
It must be destroyed as soon as possible.
There must be a coordinated effort of the free world in this regard.
This is WW3 and must be fought as a global threat.
Obama should listen to the speech.
Maybe he will learn something.
He has been directly threatened by Isil.
Shouldn't that stir him up to do something?
One can hope of course.

Greece the Euro and the stock market

You have to love it when a person or country borrows money and then refuses to pay it back.
Incredibly enough an entire country has decided to shrug off a payment plan for its debts because it seems to severe and difficult.
In plain English they do not want to pay back their debts.
They will leave the Euro and damage that currency even more,
It will shake up markets in Europe and in the short term lower prices on Wall street.
Wall street will recover but Greece will suffer the most as it will find it very difficult to borrow money from anyone.
The price they pay for money will be very high as they are making happy the voters but destroying whats left of the economy of the country.
In the long term all this may bode well for Wall street for the reasons I will explain.
As it becomes clear that investment in some types of Hedge funds that have seemingly large revenues will become problematic.
These funds will be based on buying debt at a very large price which ultimately may not get paid back.
The more steady if sometime volatile American stock market will be much more attractive to outside investors.
This will push up Wall street even more than its historical highs of right now.
Spain was in similar trouble a few years ago and seems to have stabilized despite the hardship of austerity.
The Greeks are not known as the hardest working people in the world and the Chutzpa of voting not to repay debt to creditors is astounding.
They will suffer the most as they will need to revert to their old currency and the rampant inflation that will follow.
A Greek tragedy in more ways than one.

Everybody trying to bring Bibi down

It is incredible how many Israeli politicians and news reporters are doing anything they can do to derail the reelection of Benjamin Netanyahu.
It has become an obsession of sorts "Just not Bibi".
It seems the downfall of Bibi is more important than the even getting elected themselves.
Every day there are trumped up headlines that accuse Bibi or his wife of some kind of infraction on almost anything you can think of.
It's a constant barrage that seeks to slowly convince the public that something is wrong with Netanyahu.
It has become almost a joke all the screaming headlines that appear day after day after day.
It is safe to say that many find empathy with someone who is being constantly attacked and will vote for him because of that.
Chances are that he will be the next prime minister again despite the crazy campaign being waged.
His experience in handling crisis is extensive whereas his opponents do not have a clue what really needs to be done.
Israel is faced with formidable challenges in the weeks and months ahead.
With some of his shortcomings he is the best to lead the government in this regard.
Most people understand this.

Crazy Islam

All they want to do is to make the entire world Islam under Shariah law.
Those who resist will be killed.
Its that simple.
There is the option of living as second class citizens under Shariah law of course while paying certain taxes that go together with that privilege.
If there are a billion and a half Moslems then that would mean some would acceppt Shariah law and some would not.
That would mean ostensibly billions of people dead as they would be infidels against Islam.
The Islamists themselves are not bothered by the notion that millions and millions will need to be killed.
They are getting very good at that now.
The world has entered a different phase as the ultimate war of religons seems to be unfolding before our eyes.
There is no real end to this war no matter what anybody does.
These people are no the Nazis that can be killed and then democracy takes hold.
These are not the Japanese that were reformed after WW2.
To this war there is no real end just containment and continual battle.
Not a very nice picture bu the reality none the less.
Europe would do well to be as aggressive as possible with extremists and close down almost all Islamic charities.
The world has advanced on many fronts but we are all heading into a very long period of violence with backward crazed people.
Heaven help us.

Israeli Elections, What a mess!

There is a real possibility that the upcoming elections in Israel will end in stalemate.
No faction or party will have what is needed it seems to form a coalition of a solid 61 knesset members.
This is not trivial as the prospect of a national unity government seem also near impossible.
It is likely at the end of all this mess that the Likud with little of its own knesset members will form a right wing government which will have difficulty functioning.
Great difficulty.
The numbers go like this
Likud 23 + Jewish home party 16 + Agudat yisroel 8 + party of Moshe Chaclon 8 + Shass 6 = 61
if Eli Yishai gets in he will join as well making it 65.
The left has much more little chance to form the next government
They have labor 24 + lapid 11 + merezt 6 =41 + arab parties 11 =52
Liberman will not sit with merezt and cannot agree to demands of the Chardie parties
No matter how you look at it its a big mess.

What happened to the Palestinian state?

As terrorists strike Europe everyone has seemingly forgotten the Palestinian issue.
No one truly cares in the real sense, the issue is the default issue when there is nothing to talk about.
The chance of a state the way they want it is the same chance of a Isis flag flying on top of the White House.
It is not happening any time soon as all really know.
Its a jihad pipe dream of sorts that keeps the groups going.
Only the crazies among really believe this can happen.
Its all just a cruel sick game.
There is no Palestinians state or people for that matter, its another cruel sick joke.
When things calm for a bit many will talk once again about the plight of the Palestinians.
Its conversation that has a twisted need to continue.
The free world will continue to suffer from wackos who want to establish Sharria law in the world,
The Arabs of Israel who call themselves Palestinians will continue to demand a state that they will never have and do not really want. Its all very crazy and very dangerous.
We bring up our children in a very dangerous world with very many crazy people.
For them Charlie Hebdo is just the beginning.
The worst is yet to come.

Everybody is just plain scared

The greatest defenders of free speech are apparently the biggest cowards in the world.
They all are plain scared to show a picture of Mohamed even after so many were killed because of his depiction.
So here it is!!!

Millions have marched in France , now what?

A great show of solidarity was shown in France for the victims of several terrorist attacks.
But now what?
The problem of a Europe overwhelmed with Moslems has not changed and will not change any time soon.
There is not enough man power to deal with the infiltration of terrorist cells on European soil.
The next attack is imminent and there is great difficulty in stopping.
The source of the problem needs to be attacked.
That is destroying ISIS and al queda wherever they are on the face of the earth.
Doe the French have the gumption for this?
Does anyone in Europe have the gumption for this?. <
The simple answer is no.
The worst is yet to come.

Jews dying in Europe

For those descendants of holocaust survivors the spectacle of Jews being targeted once again on European soil is to much to bear.
The Jews who were singled out in a kosher meat market in Paris for murder join a long line of Jews being killed for just being Jewish.
The French do not seem to have the ability to protect its own citizens and certainly the huge Jewish community in France.
The Jews of France are in a very difficult situation more acute than all others in western Europe.
Whatever they do or do not do they are targets by default.
They do not need to be doing anything active to inflame radicals.
Being Jewish is enough.
The Jihadists have scored a major victory in France. make no mistake. They have many people worried about the future of civilized Europe.
If they somehow manage to do anything today at a rally in Paris then real complete fear may set it in.
It is unclear how the French Police can hermetically seal off and make sure weapons or bombs are not used today against some participants.
The prime minister of Israel is to be there today and it remains unclear how he will participate.
It has also been reported that the head of the Palestinian authority will attend as well.
His attendance is a bit bizarre as he has tried to form a government with the Hamas movement who's members are probably very happy with the goings on in France.
His double talk that he seeks peace while trying to unite with Hamas will not be lost on anybody.
But he is there apparently.
Hey it gives him something to do as it must be very boring hanging out in Ramala talking about a Palestinian state that will never be.
He will hobnob with all in Paris and no one will actually get up and say that it is a absurdity at least and a desecration of those killed.
The satirists at charlie Hebdo do not need him there and the Jewish community does not want him there.
But he is there.
Corrupt leaders are taking advantage of a very difficult situation to portray themselves against terrorism.
Abu Mazen as he is called has the picture in his office one of the most famous terrorists of modern times.
Yassar Arafat.
Go Figure.
France has had a very lax immigration policy that has swelled the ranks of Moslems.
the brutal truth seems to be that this is just the beginning of what awaits all "infidels" on European soil.
The Jews at least have a place to go.
Where do the French go??
The terror and fear are just what the terrorists wish to achieve.
World Jihad is making strides to shut down western democracies.
The world better wake up and smell the coffee.
Its a Moslem brand.

Getting out of hand

France is worried and is looking for answers.
Another policeman has been killed while the suspects in yesterdays murders are being cornered.
Many experts are worried that what many have feared. Terror will start paraylyzing western societies and cowering freedom of expression.
The writing has been on the wall for a very long time and many have chosen to look away to pretend the problem does not exist.
A sensible government would curb some human rights in order to re establish safety and security for its citizens, emergency measures.
Alas France is not capable of lockdowns in Moslem areas.
It has been preaching to others about collective punishment and is loathe to do similar things even as it is suffering form the worst terrorist attacks in 52 years.
This has been a great day for some very bad people who seek to rule the world with terror and violence.
It will clearly become worse as the terrorists smell blood and weakness in dealing with the new Fascism.
The French fell to Fascism 75 years ago and are on the verge of doing so again.
They just do not really realize this.
The free world is in trouble, big trouble.

Its snowing! well sort of

The snow is supposed to fall here in Gush Eztion or so they say.
The snow and cold weather in a almost tropical middle eastern country has its ironic side to it of course.
Western Israel has been covered with snow and we expect a rather large snow fall here in the Judean hills very soon.
It is not lost on many the beauty of the holy land when it is completely white.
It adds a mystical side to already mystical side of Israel.
All this as a backdrop to the Israeli elections that are a scant few months away.
It has become increasingly clear that the big parties of both left and right will have about the same amount of seats while no one will seem to have a strong coalition.
The right wing seems in a better position to form a government going forward but will have headaches along the way as well.
The likely outcome of all this mess is a right wing government that will likely be pulled even more to the right by the party of Naftali Bennet.br>. We will see

Terror on French Soil

The French and Europe are in big trouble.
There are millions of Moslems many seem to support extreme Jihad violence and certainly look in disdain on western democracy.
They are increasing in numbers and influence and their is nothing that can stop them.
They have just killed 12 people rather easily and will continue to kill and menace European society.
Europe is slowly sinking into the abyss of Moslem fundamentalism.
The brazen midday attack and escape should be an embarassment to French authorities but that is the least of their troubles.
No matter what anyone says newspapers and others will be nervous about depicting anything deemed offensive in Islam.
Women not dressed properly will be accosted and other religious groups will be targeted. We are in for a very difficult period where the leader of France in a few years will be someone who wishes to cancel democracy and institute Sharia law.
France is in trouble and they have nobody to blame but themselves.
These terrorists may be hunkered down somewhere as the attack and escape route seemed to have been planned very well.
The worst thing that can happen is if they surface in Syria somewhere.
The worst is yet to come.
Maybe France should stop pressuring Israel into concessions that will lead to these type of terrorist attacks?

It's getting boring already

Israel has stopped the transfer of about $125 million dollars of tax money to the Palestinian authority.
This is because of a few rather bizarre unilateral actions done by the Palestinian authority in the last few weeks.
They put a vote in at the security council of the UN that did not even get the nine member approval that would have needed a veto from the US for it not to pass.
They are now going to try to bring up Israel at the international court on the Hague for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Experts have said that the allegations that will be put in front of the court are not the type the court will prosecute readily.
The process would be very drawn out and if it it went forward would take years.
In the meantime the financial backing of the authority will disappear and with it the authority.
The corrupt members of the authority will not be able to fly first class everywhere in the world and hobnob with world leaders while staying at $1,000 a night hotels around the world.
It's all just a cruel sick joke and will help the right wing parties in the upcoming elections.
Most Israelis rally get it.
There is no one to talk to and peace talks are fruitless at best.
The US is also about to cut aid to the authority which will likely make it disintegrate very soon.
Some Arab countries have pledged to help but that seems to be an unlikely occurrence seeing the oil prices in the world plunge.
It is likely that some cooperation will continue with Israel but it is rather unclear what might happen next.
It won't be pretty.
