War in the streets of Jerusalem

Another terrorist attack has occurred in Jerusalem.
A van has deliberately run over pedestrians killing one and seriously injuring others
The new weapon of the terrorists is the moving automobile and it seems there is little to be done to thwart this type of attack.
The head of internal security has said that terror acts of this kind are impossible to stop.
Well that is terrific!
If he feels this way then he should resign and let someone else can try to address the problem.
This new war is on the streets of Jerusalem and aimed at anyone Jewish who lives there.
While Israel is being accused of disproportional use of force in the last war the world is witnessing Jewish blood being spilled.
The leaders of the PLO and Hamas have been fanning the flames of this latest war with statements supporting the "heroism" of these murderers.
The outside world should understand that all the terrorist tactics always started here in Israel and then when successful were exported to the rest of the world.
May the g-d of Israel avenge the blood of those who were killed in the sanctification of his name and may we see very soon the in gathering of the Jewish people to Jerusalem.

Obama in trouble

American voters have had it.
The lower income section of voters have called Obamas bluff.
Incredibly enough those opposed to Obamas reelection have done well in the past 2 years.
The stock market has soared making the rich even richer.
This has come because of fundamental deep problems in the American economy. One in five Americans are on food stamps, an unprecedented figure.
The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.
The poor decided Obamas policies are not working and have elected Republicans to control the senate and congress.
There are others clearly who also think that Obamas understanding of foreign affairs is lacking.
This has placed the United States in difficult positions around the world.
Clearly Obama would lose a presidential bid now.
Romney could win in two years from now.
Can he muster the character needed to try again?
Many hope so.

Tragedy in Jerusalem

A tragedy of historical significance has occurred in Jerusalem last night with the assassination attempt of Rabbi Yehudah Glick by a would be assassin.
Rabbis Glicks only crime was and has been his unrelenting demand that Jews be allowed to pray at the holiest place to Jews in the world.
The Temple Mount.
This is where both temples stood and where all the prayers of Jews worldwide are directed.
The only place in the world that a Jew is not allowed to pray is the place that is most holy to the Jews.
There is only one place that is considered holy to the Jewish people and that is the place that the holy temples stood.
This situation cannot continue as is.
All people whether Jew or gentile must demand from their representatives or whoever has any influence that this outrage must cease. This crime and subsequent apparent elimination of the would be assassin may restart the Intifada or Arab rioting in Jerusalem and elsewhere.
The now hollow statement by then commander Motta Gur of the IDF that "the temple mount is in our hands" is especially difficult to deal with now.
The main reason Jews are not allowed to pray on the temple mount is the fear and threats of local Arabs and non local ones.
This is supposed to keep things calm in the short and long term.
The problem with blackmail and extortion is the price always goes up.
The price has gone up as Rabbi Glick is in very serious condition at a Jerusalem hospital.
Extreme Islam is threatening the entire world with violence.
It must be stopped and the temple mount is a good place to start.

Is doing nothing a strategy?

Nothing seems to be the best word to describe The peace process between Israel and Palestinians.
Its all about nothing.
Nothing is often hard to sustain especially when everyone has been fed the lie and joke of a two state solution.
It is hard to admit that it is all rubbish and never really had a chance to begin with.
So what the next best option?
Just continue to say two state solution though all realize already that it will never happen.
A true leader says the truth to the world.
But Bibbi is a tactician and knows that it is just lip service at this point.
There has been endless negotiations and endless meetings that have gone nowhere.
Even wars and intifadas that have come and gone.
Why does the Leader of Israel continue to say the mantra of a two state solution?
Because he has nothing better to say.
The next prime minister may say something else I suppose.
Its all very bizarre.

Now what?

The Israeli prime minister has told the world that the of the leader of the Palestinian national movement is anti-Semite who denies the Holocaust.
It's hard to see negotiations with someone like that.
There has just been a war in the Gaza strip that does not seem to be restarting so fast.
So what now?
It has become clear that the stark reality is nothing will happen.
Not on the negotiation front at least.
There is not anyone to negotiate with and nothing to negotiate on.
Its all make believe as there never was real negotiations and never will be.
You see the Arabs of greater Israel or Palestinians do not want a state next to Israel, they want a state instead of Israel.
The fact that they demand the uprooting of 600,000 people from their homes in Judea Samaria and Jerusalem which is of course impossible shows that this is all the theater of the absurd.
Their never was a Palestine and never will be one.
Their was never a Palestinian people and never will be.
It's just a big joke.
Very bad joke.

The Palestinian leaders speech at UN

Some were shocked at the severity of the outrageous diatribe of Machmoud Abbas at the United Nations last week.
Others like myself were not.
Those who held out some hope on conciliation with this so called pragmatic leader were shocked back into reality.
He is just another link in the chain of small and big anti-semites that have threatened the Jewish people over the years.
Clearly form his point of view a Jew may not defend himself from attack, he must die or be thrown into the sea.
He has never really changed tactics just sometimes the tone in trying to replace Israel with Palestine.
Incredibly enough the knowledge that this will not happen does not deter leaders like Abbas from continuing.
What he is doing and will continue to do is to perpetuate the conflict.
He knows full well that Israel cannot and will not return to the pre 1967 borders.
He knows full well that it is impossible to relocate over 600,000 people from their homes in Judea and Samaria.
He also knows that there will never be a Palestinian state.
He does not want one.
He is where exactly he wants to be.
Which is to perpetuate this conflict forever.
He receives a lavish salary and travels the world and nothing moves or will ever move.
It is like a soap opera that really never changes and whenever you return everything is the same.
Israel should annex parts of Judea and Samaria and offer partial citizenship to Arabs living in those areas.
There are many Arabs that have had good relations with the Jewish state and deserve consideration for partial and even full citizenship at some point.
There are those that cannot stop talking about a two state solution.
Its just talk a lot of talk.
To bad that so many people have to suffer.
The new/ old Middle East.

Israel- surrounded on all sides

Those who would say that Israel is surrounded on all sides by its enemies were paranoid.
Peace treaties were signed with Egypt and Jordan.
A new era was at hand, a new middle east.
Those that said that real danger lurked everywhere were ridiculed.
Lets look at the situation right now.
On Israels southern flank there is the Hamas which has been at war with Israel off and on since it took over the Gaza strip.
There had just been a major conflict that has may start again at any time.
In the north there is the Hizbullah that Israel has also been at war intermittingly and another seems likely very soon.
In fact the leader of that organization has said in the last few days that war was imminent and that his organization would even capture parts of the Galilee.
Now to the east is Jordan. That seems safe, right?
Very safe as long as it is not taken over.
The new Islamic Republic has its sites on Jordan.
and Then you know who.
To the west things do not change.
It is the sea where the paranoids fear getting thrown into.
Did I say we are surrounded on all sides?.
The new old Middle East.
