This Is A Plan?

As I wrote a couple days ago, the PA's tack on the peace process farce changes every time a Falacstinian official cuts the cheese. It's a bi-national state one minute and a unilateral declaration of independence the next. It's not helping that, thanks to the ineptitude of Commander Waffles and his Cast of Idiots, no one in the region has a clue as to what anyone wants, requires, demands, thinks, etc. In fact, the only consistent policy from the White House is racism against Jews.

So what's the PA's game? Are they just completely stupid? Are they backed into a corner due to their tireless desire to enact a final solution to Israel and her Jews? Or, do they find themselves facing a situation of a growing Jewish population in Yehuda and Shomron, along with a rising tide of Jewish nationalism that, in the face of nearly 100 years of unrelenting Arab violence against them (long before there were "settlements" or a "green line"), is coming to no longer accept that coexistence is viable, or even desired?

I think we're dealing with a combination of all of these things. If the latest plan is unilateral independence, what's the reason? As I've written before, Abbas has threatened intifada. Arab/Muslim incitement over the Temple Mount is being used to fuel the violence. I believe this call for unilateral independence is part of the same strategy. It was tried in the late 90's and was flatly rejected. There doesn't seem to be much backing for it now. A unilateral move by the PA would be met by full annexation by Israel, and it would only be a matter of time before full scale violence broke out (I am not unconvinced that this is what the White House wants, as it would be a pretext to fulfill Samantha Power's blood lust vision of invading Israel and imposing a PA state at the green line). So, apart from the promise of maintaining the conflict, and the international flow of money into the PA's pockets that it generates, what is the point?

I think Zalman Shoval might be onto something in a letter he wrote to JPost. He posits that this move for unilateral independence is an attempt to undo UN Resolution 242 which was voted on in the wake of the Six Day War. As Shoval points out, 242 is the only basis for any and all negotiations with the Falacstinians and the surrounding Arab countries. More importantly, it stipulates that Israel need not surrender all the territory it gained in the conflict, and that final borders would be determined, based on Israel's security needs. Resolution 242 makes it plain that Israel need not accept the green line as its final borders, and can be used by Israel to flatly reject any negotiations where that border is a pre-condition. In fact, Israeli diplomats are more than happy to have 242 be the starting point for any future negotiations, as futile and ludicrous as those negotiations are, and have been in the past.

Shoval goes on to note that Fatah and PLO official Yassir abd Rabbo has confirmed that their intended strategy is to get the UN to pass a resolution making the green line the border on which negotiations would be based, nullifying 242 completely, putting all Jewish Yesha communities in jeopardy, as well as potentially leaving the entire nation of Israel in range of Arab rockets from every border, as well as having the effect of completely shutting down Israel's airspace. It is a recipe for a war of devastating consequence, particularly for the Arabs. It is an insanity that could only be accomplished with the support of the White House.

I have been saying since 2008 that it was Marack's desire to force Israel to accept the 1967 borders, leaving her vulnerable to Arab attack. If the PA moves forward with its plans to nullify 242, it will be interesting to see whether Little Lord Fraudleroy will back them. Of course, all of this would leave Oslo null and void, and force the government to decide whether it will finally realize the fallacy of coexistence.

Shabbat Shalom l'kulam.

The IDF Unity Law

With IDF soldiers of Shimshon and Nachshon brigades protesting their use as evacuators of Jewish communities in Yesha, the talk among many officials is what to do about insubordination in the ranks. A divided army does not serve the best interests of Israel. The response so far has been to jail protestors, restrict them from holding command duties, and a few other related penalties. This is no solution at all. If anything, it's going to potentially undermine the unity of the army even further, and alienate the soldiery from the chain of command.

Rather than act like a bunch of knee jerk reactionaries, a group of Knesset MKs has decided to put forward a bill that would eliminate the problem entirely. If the problem is soldiers protesting being made into political pawns, executing political agendas in the evacuating of Jews from their lands, the simple solution is to legislate that the army cannot be used for this purpose. And so, here comes a bill, "for the unity of the army."

A nation's army exists to defend its land, not execute the political will of politicians at home. This bill seeks to legislate that such orders would be executed by the police, not the army. The IDF could then go back to doing its job. If the soldiers knew for a certainty that they were not going to be ordered to evict Jews from their homes there would be no need for protests, and the army would remain unified.

Likud MK Tzipi Hotobeli, one of the few MKs who is worth a damn, explains the bill






It will be better for all concerned when this matter is cleared up. The fact is that this dissension will only increase. Soldiers are no different that citizens who understand that evacuating Gaza only brought death. Land for peace is a lie. The soldiery knows it and doesn't have the stomach for kicking their own people off of land they know belongs to them, land they know enhances and maintains Israel's security.

Here's hoping the idiots in charge get the message.

Building Continues in Gilo. Camp Pampers Takes A Dump

The Netanyahu government has approved the construction of 900 units in the southeastern Jerusalem neighborhood of Gilo. Though Bibi has curtailed construction in Yehuda and Shomron, he has made it quite clear that Jewish construction in Israel's capital will continue unabated. In fact, he has made this point clear several times. So what did Pampers do when he found out? The same thing he does every time a Jew decides to build; he crapped himself.

It is being reported by a variety of sources that Pampers spoke to Fox News saying:
"I think that additional settlement building does not contribute to Israel's security. I think it makes it harder for them to make peace with their neighbors."
I haven't had a good rant at Marack Pampers' expense in a while so this is gonna be a doozy.

Where to start? How about with the fact that Jerusalem is not a settlement you narcissistic, racist douchebag. It's the capital of Israel, and the capital of the Jewish nation entire; and has been for more than 3000 years you stupid idiot. Secondly jackass, new construction does in fact make Israel safer. Each new home means another Jewish family, which means we bring Israel that much closer to the tipping point when more of the world's Jews live in our homeland, which includes Gilo, all of Jerusalem, and all of Yehuda and Shomron (you call it the West Bank because you're a Jew hating racist).

I know how much you hate the thought of a beautiful Jewish woman pregnant with yet another Jewish baby, but let's face it, observant Jews have the highest birthrate in the land of Israel. Sorry The Barry, we're going to keep on building homes for them. And once there is authentic Jewish leadership in the Knesset, the building will resume in Yesha at a faster pace than ever before, until the Arabs accept the reality that adopting a policy of Jewish genocide for nearly 100 years leaves them with no place between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean. Sorry The Barry, that's the price they pay for their never ending quest to wipe us off the face of the earth. You, J Street, Ban Ki-Moon, and the rest of the racists can spin it any you want, but you can't blame their hate and racism on us. They've been trying to kill us long before there was a "green line," so kindly take your patronizing, anti-construction bullshit and park it where the sun don't shine. We exist, and have been living in our land unbroken for 4000 years. You don't get to tell us where we can live, or where we can build.

Oy...my valve is wide open!

And now it's time to slap UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon. This braying jackass is so fucking clueless that he referred to Gilo as a "settlement" built on land "conquered from the Palestinians in 1967." Hey, dumbshit, there was no Palestine. Yehuda and Shomron was not claimed by the Arabs in 1947 when the organization you "lead" partitioned the land. It was illegally occupied by Jordan after it invaded our land in 1948. We took Jerusalem, and Yesha back from Jordan. Here's a thought for you douchebag: if you're going to attempt to "fix" a problem, you ought to know what the fuck you're talking about before you open your mouth.

Now, let's have a pity party for the Falacstinian Authority. First they say they're going to push for a bi-national state. Then they went back to their stupid notion of declaring an independent state. Then they deny that this would be unilateral...because the UN would sanction it...

Abu In A Suit advisor Nabil Abu Rhadineh says the Gilo construction, "destroys the last chances for the peace process." Best news I've heard all year. I'm not sure where Rhadineh has been, but this farce has been dead since the evacuation of Gush Katif brought intensified rocket fire from Azza. Those rockets began waking Israelis from the Oslo induced stupor that led them to believe that the PLO could be negotiated with, leading to peace. The Falacstinians never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity, accept when it comes to killing Jews, which is why, if the majority of Israelis have their way, there were never be an Arab state carved out of our land, ever.

Is the world that fucking stupid, or just that hateful of Jews? Let's make Marack answer that question on Fox News.

J Street And The Iranian Lobby Together At Last

How could anyone possibly doubt that J Street is pro-Israel when they are so busy working overtime, getting cozy with the pro-Iranian NIAC lobby. They both oppose sanctions against the Iranian government to thwart its nuclear development, and have something else in common: they are both funded by George Soros.

Isn't that special?

There are all kinds of juicy details, like how NIAC seeks to undermine Dennis Ross and create a "Send Hillary" campaign. So sweet, so thoughtful. I wonder how many Clinton supporters will ask, "How high," when NIAC says, "JUMP!"

Read the whole sordid tale over at Politico.

Remembering the Holtzbergs

It has been a year since the terror attack in Mumbai claimed the lives of Chabad Rabbi Gabi Holtzman, his wife Rivka, and their unborn child (may G-d avenge their blood). By all accounts these were people of good will, fulfilling the Chabad mission of strengthening Jewish life in communities around the world.

Our own local Chabad Rabbi shared a memorial video with us this evening as we lit a candle in their memory. The spirit of their work endures. The lives they touched endure. Their son Moshe endures.

I think the video speaks for itself.

The Polls Tell The Tale

There is a poll running over at Israel National News asking readers what the best solution is to the Arab/Israeli conflict. The choices are:
  1. Two states for two peoples
  2. Transfer the Arabs to Arab countries
  3. Maintain the status quo
  4. Give the Arabs of Yesha Jordanian citizenship
At this writing, 1369 people have voted. Only 2% believe in maintaining the status quo. The two states for two peoples idea has 5%. Twenty percent of voters believe they should be given Jordanian citizenship. SEVENTY-TWO PERCENT believe the Arabs should be transferred to other Arab countries. Rabbi Kahane, may G-d avenge his blood, would be proud.

This sentiment is further reflected in Haaretz polling which indicates that Yaakov Katz' National Union party stands to double its current electoral showing, an indication to Katz that the Israeli public is now realizing that Netanyahu is not going to turn Israel from the deadly path of Oslo and the Wye Accords, that instead of rejecting the false two-state solution, he embraces it, as reflected in his government failing to issue any new tenders for construction in Yehuda and Shomron, which even the Olmert government didn't do. The polling indicates the public is moving even further to the right than as reflected in the elections in February.

That's right world. When faced with an intractable enemy, whose unrelenting mission is your genocide, you do not keep them in your midst. There are 22 Arab countries in the world. There is one Jewish country. Go to your people and live long and prosper. It is time for the Arab occupation of Jewish land to end. Go in peace.

Undoing the "Oslo Mindset"

Yoel Meltzer has published the most refreshing op-ed I have read in a long time. His premise is that Israel is caught up in an "Oslo mindset" that is the cause for the political and social calamities being faced by Israel domestically, and internationally. In it he lists an 18 point program for helping Israel shake itself loose from the self-destructive zombie state of the Oslo false peace scenario which has directly resulted in the deaths of more than 1500 Israelis, and embrace a "Jewish mindset."

What follows are Meltzer's 18 points, most of which reflect what I have been saying here, and what movements like Manhigut Yehudit, under the leadership of Moshe Feiglin and Shmuel Sackett, have been advocating. The more this gets written about, perhaps the more Israelis will begin to understand that assimilation is not Israel's destiny or purpose. It is long past time for Israel, and the Jewish people, to come to grips with who we are, and what it is we are supposed to be doing.

1. There is a purpose to the unfolding events of history, and there is a purpose to life. It’s not all random.

2. Real authentic Judaism is much more than what it has been reduced to, to a black and white system of “do’s and don’ts”. The halachic side, although very important, is only part of the picture.

3. The Jewish people have been chosen for a special role in the world.

4. This role can only be fulfilled by the collective Jewish nation living in the Land of Israel.

5. Establishing complete sovereignty in the Land of Israel and creating a model society, from top to bottom, according to the ideals and morality of Judaism is essential for fulfilling this role. However, this nationalistic aspect of Judaism is not an end-goal in and of itself, but rather, a platform that will enable us to fulfill our lofty role of being a “light unto nations.”

6. Israel must interact with the world in order to have an influence, but at the same time must remain separate and independent in order not to be further confused and fragmented by the assimilation of non-Jewish ideas and values.

7. Israel can and must sever the dependency on US economic aid.

8. The real goal of the Jewish State must be alive in our hearts and mind in order to affect our daily lives.

9. Without internalizing these ideas and changing our mindset and eventually our lives, the endless killing in this region, as well as in the world, will continue.

10. The future of the world is dependent on the Jewish people getting their act together.

11. Properly understood, the real goal of the Jewish state is the most idealistic undertaking in the history of mankind.

12. Continuing along on the same path, functioning within our individual and collective “comfort zones”, will not lead us out of the mess. We must, as individuals and as a nation, constantly strive to expand and stretch our comfort zones.

13. Every Jew should feel proud, yet humbled, of the role he has been given, and totally motivated and inspired to do his part.

14. Complaining will not change a thing and it is a waste of precious energy.

15. A positive vision-oriented way of thinking is essential.

16. The Arab and Iranian threat are serious problems facing the Jewish State, and like any problem, they certainly must be dealt with. However, they are not the source of our problems, but rather, the outward manifestation of our own internal problems. Thus, dealing with them alone will not bring us the desired harmony and salvation. The real problem is internally within the Jewish people themselves and stems from a lack of clarity as to our true purpose in the world.

17. There are no shortcuts

18. The world is waiting.

The Blind Leading The Stupid (and news of the weird)

Super genius Ehud Barak, in response to Saeb Erekat's announcement that the PA could push for a bi-national state between the Jordan and Mediterranean, or demand an independent state in Judea, Samaria, and Gaza, demonstrated just how deeply some Israeli politicians suffer from Stockhausen Syndrome.

Having so absorbed Arab propaganda that Judea and Samaria is Arab land, and that the Falacstinians are a "people," Barak believes Israel faces dark alternatives if she does not negotiate a settlement with the parties that have sworn to destroy her: a bi-national state, or the unilateral declaration of an independent Falacstinian state in Yesha.

From JPost:
The defense minister said that the fact that Israel was controlling another people for 42 years was at the root of "weakening international support for Israel and phenomena like the Goldstone Report." Barak stated that "it is our responsibility to end this. We have vital interests and nothing needs to happen at any price or by running amok, but we must not be confused regarding our responsibility to reach an agreement with the Palestinians."

Yet another prominent Israeli politician publicly accepting the myth of "occupation," while dismissing the genocidal aims of the Arabs. Reaching an agreement with those who have sworn to kill you is not being responsible. It is being stupid. The Goldstone Report did not happen because Israel is "controlling another people." International support for Israel is not weakening because Israel is "controlling another people."

These things are happening because there has never been much in the way of support, or love of Israel by the international community. Barak is blind to his own nation's history. What was the problem in 1929? What was the problem in the 30's? What was the problem in 1948? What was the problem in the 50's and 60's? There were no "settlements." There was no "occupation," unless you define it the Arab way: the presence of a single Jew anywhere between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean.

Yes, Israel has been irresponsible. Not because it is "controlling another people," but because it has failed to eliminate its enemies. The PLO/Hamas are not parties to be negotiated with. They are parties to be destroyed. No sovereign nation would tolerate a genocidal force in its midst as long as Israel has. And why does this happen? Because Israeli politicians are, for the most part, still guided by the false Zionist notion that if Jews will just act like everyone else, and do what the world tells them to, the world will suddenly stop trying to kill us. This was a false premise in the early 20th century, and it is just as false now.

There is only one guarantee of survival for a Jewish state: the removal of its enemies from her midst, in conjunction with the establishment of real Jewish leadership in Israel that believes enemies are eliminated, not negotiated with and given Jewish land, period.

So while blind, stupid idiots like Ehud Barak and Shaul Mofaz think inside the box of death that the world has been desperately trying to put Israel in for the past 61 years, at least there are some voices that are speaking something resembling sense.

Addressing the Saban Forum in Jerusalem, Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman addressed the elephant in the room, reportedly saying that establishing a Palestinian state will not end the conflict. He also reportedly stated that Israeli Arabs would demand the creation of autonomous zones in the Galilee and Negev, while strengthening ties with the PA. Now, this was supposed to be a closed door forum, but Lieberman's comments were immediately reported by Israeli news outlets. So, when do you think the retraction and backspin from Lieberman will happen? I'm guessing no later than Monday, if it hasn't happened already.

Uzi Landau said that any unilateral actions toward declaring independence should be met with an accompanying Israeli annexation of territories in Yehuda and Shomron. Allowing things to go that far with a hostile enemy is ludicrous. If Hamas/PLO were eliminated, if the Israeli body politic was led by those who have the conviction to remove the enemy from their midst, none of this would be an issue. What's the difference between taking that initiative now, or waiting for this dueling unilateral action that Landau describes, which would no doubt lead to bloodshed, perhaps on an even larger and more anarchic scale? Why is decisiveness so elusive for Israeli politicians?

There is only one way to achieve peace with a political/terrorist body that is dedicated to your genocide: Victory.

In a related story that can only be characterized as "news of the weird," DEBKAfile is reporting that Marack Pajama is sending Bill Clinton to lead emmisaries to the PA to put the kaibosh on the Arabs unilaterally declaring an independent state in Yesha. If this is true then it can only be about one thing: Marack, who lost control of the Middle East diplomatic front faster than a contestant in a greased pig catching contest, would only become more unpopular in the region than he is now, and would have no peace settlement for his 2012 resume. This is what happens when you elect a narcissist with daddy issues to the presidency. Way to go America!

Jordan Jumps On The Incitement Bandwagon

When searching for political relevance, the seemingly continuous pastime of the Hashemite regime in Jordan, the thing Jordan does best is join in with the rest of the bullies trying to show it can throw its punches too. This time it's over incitement involving the Temple Mount.

Seems like the new Arab ploy is to emphasize the importance of Jerusalem to the Falacistinians. If they just bitch and moan long enough and loudly enough the world will think that Jerusalem belongs to the Falacstinians and not the Jews. And that if Arab/Muslim leaders push enough buttons they can create an incident to spark the third intifada, which Mahmoud Abbas threatened in June would take place if the Jews were to do something as outrageous as take a nationalist stand on its sovereignty over its lands, including Jerusalem.

Jordan's contribution comes in the form of a statement from the Jordanian ambassador to the US, Zeid Ra'ad Zeid al-Hussein (I think the second Zeid is for emphasis), to the Washington Times that Jerusalem is a powder keg that could be set off by Jewish extremists' attacks on Muslim holy places. This is the dressing sprinkled over what I am calling the "Jerusalem Agenda," which involves maximizing the propaganda campaign that seeks to delegitimate the role of the Jerusalem in Jewish life and history, while simultaneously making it appear to be more holy to Muslims than Mecca.

It's not a wholly irrational plan considering that the world seems to accept every story the Arabs tell as truth, whether it is the made up fairy tale of Palestinian nationalism, or that IDF soldiers are harvesting Arab organs.

So, while the Arabs are filling wheelbarrows with rocks to throw at Jewish worshippers we're supposed to believe that it is Jewish extremists that are the threat, just as the world is supposed to believe that there is no Jewish connection to Jerusalem, despite the overwhelming physical evidence, and the fact that it is mentioned in the Tanach, the Hebrew Bible, more than 800 times, but only mentioned in the Koran zero times.

Watch the video. He seems so concerned doesn't he? Oh yes, there will be a toxic religious atmosphere because of the Jews...I think if you watch carefully you can actually see crap coming out of his mouth...and of course the solution is to get the Jews out of Jerusalem.

So while Zeid says that the Netanyahu government's determination to continue building in Jerusalem will end negotiations, this fabled attack by Jewish extremists will be the "show stopper." So when the third intifada is launched, expect to hear from the Arab media that it was Jewish extremists attacking Muslim holy sites that caused it. We certainly wouldn't want the Arabs inciting violence against Jews to be seen as the problem. That would be dealing with reality, and very few in the international community seem interested in dealing with that.

Smoking Crack With Hassan Nasrallah

Chief looney tune, and ever expanding fat cheeked Jizbullah leader, Hassan Nasrallah, is smoking crack. What other possible explanation can there be for his latest festering gob of dung? This is so hilarious that for a while I thought I had punctured my diaphragm with a rib.
The Associated Press is reporting that the genocidal blob of kibbeh has accused Marack Pajama of having, "an absolute bias in favor of Israel and disregard for the dignity of Arabs and Muslims."

He also seems to think that Marack has gone even farther in his military support of Israel.

I didn't make that up. Feel free to continue reading once the hysterical laughter subsides. I'll wait...

Never mind that Marack is the most openly hostile American "president" Israel has probably ever experienced, making Jimmy Carter look nearly like a friend in comparison, and that military requisitions from Israel for a variety of weapons and spare parts are currently tied up in by-design bureaucratic nonsense, the F-22 sale got crapped on, and the F-35 sale has also been facing more dickering.

The AP reports:

Obama's initial settlement demand was "an American ploy to pass the time and gain Arab sympathy," Nasrallah said, adding any "illusions" anyone had about Obama being more evenhanded have now collapsed.

"What we see is absolute American commitment to Israeli interests, Israeli conditions, and Israeli security ... while disregarding the dignity or feelings of the Arab and Muslims people and their nations and governments."

Nasrallah has it all wrong. Marack wants Israel to freeze construction. He wants Israel's security compromised by moving the borders back to the 1967 lines. The problem is that he, and the circus of morons around him, like Rahm Emmanuel and David Axelrod, haven't the slightest clue as to what the hell they're doing.

Marack kissed Arab/Muslim ass in Cairo, has bowed down and kowtowed to Muslims all over the place, and has turned a blind (or tacitly approving) eye to the problem of radical Islam, even when a radical Muslim guns down our soldiers on our own soil; not surprising though, considering his reckless inaction in Afghanistan is costing American lives on a regular basis.
He made the demand for a Jewish construction freeze, including in Jerusalem, promising that the Arabs would make concessions, which they did not, meaning Israel had absolutely no reason to even consider Marack's demands. Meanwhile, the Falacstinian Authority got the impression that Marack would deliver Israel on a plate, which also didn't happen. What does all of this mean? That Marack is experiencing a narcissist's worst nightmare: everyone in the Middle East hates his fucking guts.

And I dispute that there is such a thing as a dignified Arab government. I see nothing dignified in brutal fascist regimes that condone honor killings, secret police brutality, torture, and the advocating of Jewish genocide.

To whomever is supplying Hassan with his crack...please, stop.
