PALESTINIAN OFFICIAL ASSURES ARABS THAT ABBAS CONDEMNATION OF THE MASSACRE OF JEWS WAS A SCAM and that everyone supports killing rabbis

By forcing Abbas to lie and issue a fake condemnation of the slaughter of Jewish rabbis in Jerusalem, the United States government continues to be an active participant in a major land swindle aimed at depriving Jews of their ancient biblical heartland for the creation of a Muslim terror state.
 
That is not all.  The US government is fully aware that returning Israel to the 1967 indefensible borders (only 9 miles wide and with the country split in two to give Arabs a land corridor between Ramallah and Gaza) would result in the destruction of Israel.
 
That is the US and EU governments endgame: 
the destruction of Israel through partition. 

And to them all means
- including forcing Abbas to lie - 
 justify this end.

November 23 -
 
Fatah MP:  Abbas condemnation of terror is just diplomacy. He's forced to do it. 
 
Fatah MP during interview:  The MP explained to Quds Net News Agency that Abbas' movement Fatah "justified the statements of the Palestinian President, Mahmoud Abbas, who condemned the Jerusalem operation.
 
Fatah member of PA Parliament Najat Abu-Bakr said that those statements were made within a diplomatic context.... [he] is forced to speak this way to the world."
 
Fatah is Mahmoud Abbas' political party.

EOZ reports:  In response to the widespread Palestinian Arab anger at Mahmoud Abbas' reported "condemnation" of the terror attack in Jerusalem this week (that he was pressured to issue by the US,) a Fatah official has assured her people that he doesn't really mean it.

Fatah: President Abbas's Statements on the Jerusalem Operation for Diplomatic Purposes

The Palestine National Liberation Organization, Fatah, has justified Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas's statements in which he condemned the operation in Jerusalem yesterday. The organization considered these statements to be political diplomacy, according to a statement by Najat Abu-Bakr, deputy for Fatah in the Palestinian Legislative Council [PLC].

IN AN ISRAEL MICROMANAGED BY THE US STATE DEPARTMENT, THE SECURITY MINISTER ALLOWS ARABS TO RIOT AND KILL - while police complain they have their hands tied - The White House demands Israel react with "calm" to latest murder of a Jewish baby.

The invisible but firm pressure by the US State Department, which demands that the PM and all others below him use "restraint" in dealing with the ongoing INTIFADA - the Arab violence and murder directed against Jews.
 
Police complain 'Our hands are tied, we're standing like dolls'  -  Border Patrol officer reveals the helplessness in confronting 'silent intifada' terror, points the finger at Security Minister Aharonovich.

A Border Patrol officer serving in eastern Jerusalem has for the first time revealed the police helplessness in dealing with the "silent intifada".  
 
Arab violence has been gripping the capital in recent months, as Arab rock, firebomb and even gunfire attacks rise sharply.
 
Speaking on Channel 2's "Shesh Im" TV program Thursday, a day after a Hamas terrorist wounded nine with his car including a three-month-old baby who was killed in the attack, the officer admitted the Border Patrol warriors are forced to "stand like dolls" against the Arab terror.
 
"We feel like our hands are tied," the combat officer revealed, placing the blame squarely on the shoulders of Interior Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovich for the collapse in security.  According to the officer, senior captains as well as Aharonovich are trying to calm things down and hush up the "silent intifada" rather than fight Arab terror to the end.

TERRORIST MURDERED A BABY IN ISRAEL TODAY - In typical Palestinian reaction, Hamas endorsed the killing - But Canada Liberal Party leader in response to terror in Ottawa says violence is an aberration of true Islam.

Even 'moderate' Palestinian Fatah party, honored the terrorist who murdered the baby and attacked eight other innocent Israelis.  Proclaimed him as "hero".  That's Islam.

It was a traumatic day for Canada today, with the murder of a soldier guarding the National War Memorial in Ottawa by a Canadian Muslim.  The shooting was followed by another shootout inside Parliament Hill.  The terrorist was apparently searching for more victims - or for particular ones.  He was gunned down by a guard.
 
Federal liberal lead Justin Trudeau speaks to an audience of mostly women at an event called 'Justin. Unplugged.' in Toronto, Ontario, November 7, 2013.
Liberal leader Justin Trudeau
In the aftermath, Justin Trudeau - the leader of the Canadian Liberal Party - son of former PM Pierre Trudeau, had this to say on his official statement:

To our friends and fellow citizens in the Muslim community, Canadians know acts such as these committed in the name of Islam are an aberration of your faith. Continued mutual cooperation and respect will help prevent the influence of distorted ideological propaganda posing as religion. We will walk forward together, not apart.
 
An aberration of their faith?  
 
The Koran and Hadith are full of calls to murder the infidel.  That's Sharia Law, and any good Muslim is obligated to follow it.   
 
The greatest genocide ever is the one perpetrated by Islam:  at least 250 million non-Muslim fell victim to Islam conquest and oppression.  Add to that the murder of Muslims by other Muslims - as in the Shia-Sunni conflict, and the numbers really go up. 
 
Wherever you look to in the Muslim world there is violence and murder. 
 
Mr Trudeau is very young and still needs to learn more about international politics.
 
On a Ladies' Night fundraising late last year he said that the country he admired the most was China.

 There is a level of admiration I actually have for China because their basic dictatorship is allowing them to actually turn their economy around on a dime and say we need to go green, we need to start, you know, investing in solar. There is a flexibility that I know Stephen Harper must dream about: having a dictatorship where you can do whatever you wanted, that I find quite interesting.

Terror in Jerusalem

Today there were several terror attacks in Israel, one of them resulted in the murder of three-month old baby girl Chaya Zisel Baron, and the injury of eight people who were waiting at a Light Rail stop in Jerusalem.  A private car driven by a Muslim veered off the road and deliberately plowed into them.  The terrorist attempted to escape but was shot by police.

UPDATE October 23

(Left below) Last picture of Chaya, taken on the same day she was murdered.

'Moderate' Fatah party honors terrorist as a hero, pledges loyalty to him.

In the meantime Fatah, the party of "moderate" Mahmoud Abbas, Israel's partner for peace, honors the terrorist who killed baby Chaya Zisel Baron and injured eight others.  

Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas's senior aid Sultan Abu Al-Einen already hailed the Hamas murderer of a baby in Jerusalem on Wednesday as a "hero" - now Abbas's Fatah party is keeping the terror glorification going.
President Obama with Abbas

Abbas's Fatah faction posted an obituary for the terrorist on its official Facebook page Thursday, as revealed Palestinian Media Watch (PMW), in which it called his death "his wedding" in a reference to the Islamic belief that "martyrs" are wedded to 72 virgins in paradise.

"The Palestinian National Liberation Movement (Fatah) - Silwan branch accompanies to his wedding the heroic Martyr Abd Al-Rahman Al-Shaludi, who carried out the Jerusalem operation, in which settlers in the occupied city of Jerusalem were run over," wrote Fatah.

The page of Abbas's "moderate" Fatah then addressed the dead terrorist with the words "rest in peace! We are loyal to you."

A day after this terrorist attack, Arabs target children in kindergarten - a usual occurrence.
Rock attack
Masked Arabs threw rocks at a Jerusalem children's kindergarten Thursday morning. No injuries or damage were reported. Police and border patrol are attempting to determine the location of the suspects, who fled. 

It is unclear if the kindergarten which was attacked is the same one targeted by Arab thugs late last month. That shocking attack was caught on camera.

In addition to the attack at the kindergarten, stones were thrown at the light rail station in Shuafat in Jerusalem Thursday morning. The train was damaged, but no injuries were reported.

The terrorist, later identified as 21 year-old Abdur Rahman Slodi, a Hamas member who has been jailed for terrorist activity (they routinely free terrorists in Israel), was shot at by police as he attempted to flee the attack scene.

Helperin and his wife had arrived in Israel specifically to meet their grandchild on Wednesday and were  forced to go immediately to the hospital, instead.

(PLO) PALESTINIAN AMBASSADOR TO IRAN thanks that country for weapons and training provided - "We're hoping to shoot one-ton warheads"


Screenshot of Palestinian ambassador to Iran, Salah Zawawi, giving an interview to Iran's Press TV.
PLO Amb Al-Zawawi during another interview
Following are excerpts from an interview with Palestinian Ambassador to Iran Salah Al-Zawawi, which aired on Kawthar TV on September 16, 2014:

 Salah Al-Zawawi: [Khamenei] is a big-hearted and broad-minded man of innovative wisdom. He is the successor of the great man, Imam Khomeini, who wished to visit Jerusalem and pray at the Al-Aqsa Mosque. I hoped that his wish could have been fulfilled, and that he could have prayed at the liberated Al-Aqsa Mosque.

I wished we would see the black banners of Khorasan on the move towards Jerusalem, as foretold by our Prophet Muhammad, and that we would live to celebrate the victory just as we suffered tragedies throughout our long history.   Then we would witness our great people's return to their homeland, the land of their forefathers, and we would see the demise and the shattering of this alien entity. Nothing bonds them together, no chemistry. Only physics are at work in occupied Palestine. 
[...]
I would like to reiterate my gratitude to the Islamic Republic of Iran for the training, financing, and weapons it has provided us, as well as for its political and diplomatic positions regarding Palestine. Iran has helped us to attain our great victory.
[…]
I am not saying that Palestine will be liberated tomorrow, but we have made real strides on the path to liberation. A missile with a 200 kilogram warhead will carry a warhead of 100 tons in the future, because weapons change as men change. We just need to cross the scientific threshold to get to our goal.  But I thought that the PLO accepted Israel's right to exist and that they no longer support military attacks against Israel!

CHILDREN TERRORISTS IN GAZA - EVIDENCE MOUNTS - Gaza children used as human shields or terrorists - Human rights organizations and media SILENT except when blaming Israel for their demise. - Little Arab children as young as nine engaged in rioting and terror in Israel

Palestinians in Israel have also been using young children as an informal army of rock throwers, Molotov cocktail throwers, lynch mobs, and occasionally suicide bombers as well.  (See report below - Rioters as young as nine years old.)     

The media is partly to blame because of the prominence they give to reports of child casualties.  During the Gaza war journalists turned their media into an uninterrupted dead-children porn exhibit.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  

Here is part of the transcript of a Harvard Medical School podcast with plastic surgeon Sumner Slavin who, after spending time in the Middle East, started a fellowship program to teach plastic surgeons from the region advanced techniques and procedures.
Despite the conflict, some amazing things happened.

To give you an example: About a year or two ago, a Palestinian boy in the Gaza Strip threw a grenade at Israeli soldiers. A not unusual event. In doing so, because he was ten years old, he blew his arm off. His arm was on the ground. The soldiers picked him up, and his arm, lifted him by helicopter from the Gaza Strip to Beersheba.

A team of microsurgeons went to work immediately to restore the arm and reconnect it. Both of those were plastic surgeons trained in microsurgery here.
 
They were successful; the boy's arm was reattached, he was returned to the Gaza Strip.

child soldier hamasThis is not an isolated incident, as Dr. Slavin indicates. There is evidence that recruiting children for fighting is widespread in Gaza -  including pre-teens.

In a pro-terror message forum, the obituary for nine-year old Obaid Fadel Abu Hwaisehl says that he was killed helping his uncle performing jihadi tasks. The boy was buried with full Hamas honors and wrapped in its flag, just like mujahidin.
 
Using the most recent list of Gaza dead that included ages and genders, 88 out of 124 kids from ages 9-17 were boys - 70%. The ratio goes up the older the teens are, from 62% of those 9-11 to 79% of those between 15-17.

PALESTINIAN TERROR - THEY NEARLY BLOW UP JERUSALEM GAS STATION AND JEWISH NEIGHBORHOOD - They have repeatedly damaged the Jerusalem light rail system Israel built for their use

French Hill gas station

Palestinians trying to blow up Jewish Jerusalem neighborhood
 
During the course of intense Arab rioting in Jerusalem on Sunday, Jerusalem Councilman Aryeh King reports that a massive explosion was miraculously averted in the north-eastern neighborhood of French Hill.
 
King arrived at a gas station in the Jewish-majority neighborhood on Sunday night, and reports that dozens of Arab rioters attempted to ignite the fuel reserves in what potentially could have caused a huge blast.
 
"Muslim terror is raising its head in French Hill," King told Arutz Sheva on Monday. "A huge disaster was averted yesterday towards midnight, when no fewer than 40 Arab terrorists broke in to the French Hill gas station and tried to set off the fuel stores." 

Read more about this and other incidents, and the constant acts of Muslim terror against civilians in Israel.  The 'moderate' Fatah faction, Israel's 'partner for peace', brags on its official Facebook page of having killed 11,000 Jews.

WHEN SOMEONE WANTS TO KILL YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND TAKE OVER YOUR HOME - CAN THAT BE CALLED A "CONFLICT"? - How do you compromise? How do you meet him half way?

Negotiating With Hamas Cartoon

By Batya Medad

Just like a doctor can't and shouldn't prescribe treatment without a proper, true, accurate diagnosis, we, the State of Israel will never achieve peace until we recognize what the problem is between us and the Arabs and then find a useful way of solving it.

The real reason there's constant war between the Arabs and Israel has nothing to do with anything that can be mediated or negotiated away.  It is not a "conflict." It is not a "spat." It is not what is called in 
Hebrew sichsuch  סִכְסוּךְ.
• a conflict between two gangs• recent violent conflict in the region• Everyone in my family always tries to avoid conflict.• There was inevitable conflict over what to name the group.• They're having serious conflicts over the budget.• I don't see any conflicts between the theories.• You'll need to resolve the conflict between your parents' plans for you and your own ambitions.
The very simple truth is that the Arab aim is the destruction of the State of Israel and the death (or banishment) of Jews. Remember that officially many Arab countries, including the so-called moderate sic Jordan is Judenrein, empty/cleansed of Jews.
Fatah leader calls to destroy Israel "from the river to the sea!" 
(Palestinian Media Watch)
Source: Facebook page of Tawfiq Tirawi, member of Fatah Central Committee, Aug. 5, 2014 (Fatah is regarded as the "moderate" Palestinian faction, the "partners for peace".)
 "O our free people of resolve and sacrifice in Gaza, you are more honored than us all... We remain committed to the promise: freedom, independence, and driving out the occupier from the entire pure land, from the [Jordan] River to the [Mediterranean] Sea.
Long live free Gaza!
Your brother, Tawfiq Tirawi."


The State of Israel's hasbara information campaign and its foreign and defense policies unfortunately are totally faulty, because it keeps on avoiding the true issue.

MUSLIM HAMAS ADMITS TRYING TO HIT ISRAELI DIMONA NUCLEAR REACTOR WITH THEIR ROCKETS - Intercepted by Iron Dome

IRON DOME
Hamas claimed responsibility for the rockets, stating that it had been attempting to hit the nuclear reactor.   Three rockets were launched at Dimona in southern Israel on Wednesday afternoon.
 
The Iron Dome intercepted one rocket before it could land, while two other rockets landed in open areas.  Dimona is the location of Israel's nuclear reactor. There was no indication that rockets damaged any part of the reactor.
 
Militants from Hamas's Qassam Brigades said they had launched long-range M-75 rockets towards Dimona.   Minutes later the Iron Dome intercepted rockets  in Ness Tziona , Yavne and Rehovot in central Israel as Gaza terrorists extended the range of their rockets on Operation Protective Edge's second day.

'MODERATE' PALESTINIANS CALL FOR REVOLUTION AND DEMAND BLOOD - Rioters stop cars, ask drivers for their religion, and attack Jews - Jerusalem light rail system destroyed - ISIS flags going up

Violence: Angry young Palestinians clash with Israeli police following the murder of Arab teenager Mohammed Abu Khdair, in what is being investigated as a revenge attack for the death of three Jewish schoolboys

Violence has escalated since the murder of an Arab teen, which Arabs blame on the Jews. 
 
Police are still investigating, since there are several inconsistencies in the parents' statements to police.  There is speculation the killing took place because the boy was gay, and this could be an honor killing.  The family has also had other child kidnapping attempts in the past.
 
TIMES OF ISRAEL - A road was blocked in both directions due to burning tires, and masked men began asking drivers their religion. Two of the drivers who answered back in Hebrew were dragged from their cars and beaten. One of the drivers managed to get back in his car and escape while the other escaped on foot. His car was set on fire.  A police officer in uniform was also attacked on the road. He escaped on foot and his vehicle sustained damage.

ISIS style flags aloft at Arab teen's funeral
Signs of bloodthirsty terror organization growing in Israel
 
The bloodthirsty terror group has gained prominence in recent months for capturing large swaths of western Iraq after three years of fighting in the ongoing Syrian civil war. ISIS has developed a reputation for particular brutality including beheadings, mass murder and crucifixions.
Last week, its flags were seen aloft at the Gaza funeral of an Islamist militant targeted by Israel in an airstrike for his involvement in launching rockets at the Jewish state.
 
At the time, analysts said this was the first such open sign of local support for the group. Israel’s Ma’ariv daily reported that Israeli and other western intelligence services have warned that the group’s influence is spreading and may have set down roots in the coastal enclave.
 
Also on Friday, Jerusalem Post Arab affairs correspondent Khaled Abu Toameh reported in the Gatestone Institute that “despite denials by Hamas, there is growing evidence that the terrorist group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria [ISIS] — also known as ‘The Islamic State’ — has begun operating in the Gaza Strip.”

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
Arab violence in Israel is an ongoing affair - It never stops - It only gets worse from time to time
 
The idea of "land for peace" has lost all credibility - particularly in a Middle East context where Muslims are slaughtering other Muslims.  The idea that any self-respecting Muslim will make peace with the hated Jews just because Israel agrees to partition its land is risible.
 
Arab riots are always going on in Israel, particularly around Temple Mount, Jews' most sacred religious site, which Arabs demand be banned to Jews.
 
Attacks on Jewish motorists also occur daily, with stone throwers sometimes injuring and even killing Jews. 
 
So Arabs don't really need an excuse to attack Jews.  It's the Jewish presence in the Middle East that enrages them. 
 
Once Islam conquers a place, it's considered to belong to Muslims forever.  In the 7th century Israel was invaded and conquered by Muslims from the Arabian peninsula.  They are the true occupiers.
 
Until early in the 20th century Israel was part of the Muslim Ottoman Empire, the same caliphate one the group ISIS, now conquering Syria and Iraq, wants to expand all the way to Spain and other parts of Europe they once dominated.
 
This war with Islam will never end.  Those who think that by partitioning Israel for the creation of a Palestinian state will bring peace to the region are deluding themselves and pursuing the weakness of the only country in the Middle East where Christians are not persecuted.

GIVE THEM A STATE? - ARABS DESTROY BRAND NEW JERUSALEM LIGHT RAIL SYSTEM THAT WAS BUILT FOR THEIR USE

View image on TwitterArabs are destroying whatever is left of the system that served them.  Images capture the scope of damage caused by rioting, which will take months to repair; 'price tag' calls 'death to the Jews.'
 
As large-scale Arab riots continue to rage in Jerusalem for the third day running on Friday, newly released video and photographic evidence shows just how destructive the violence has been.
 
Arab mobs threw rocks, Molotov cocktails and firebombs at police starting Wednesday, after an Arab youth was found murdered; claims of Jewish "revenge" for the murder of three Israel teens sparked violence, despite the total lack of evidence for such claims.
 
Video taken from inside an IDF vehicle traveling along the Light Rail lines in north-eastern Jerusalem shows just how extensive the damage has been, highlighting the three stations that were destroyed by the riots on Wednesday.
 
The wanton destruction is likely to have a long-term negative economic impact on the affected communities where the rioters themselves live.
 
Officials have assessed that the three destroyed Light Rail stations will likely take months to repair, in the meantime cutting off transportation to the Arab neighborhoods of Shuafat and Beit Hanina, where much of the rioting has been centered, among others.
 
The Jewish neighborhood of Pisgat Ze'ev to the north is likewise affected by the blow to transportation, although alternate means such as bus routes remain functional there.
 
Pictures from one of the destroyed stations with its torched ticket machines reveal Arab "price tag" vandalism, with the words "price tag" and "death to Israel, death to the Jews" scrawled in Hebrew on it in red paint. (There are those who claim past "price tag" vandalism was mostly staged by Arabs to incite against right-wing Jews.)
 
Severe damage was also inflicted on the tracks themselves, with the rubber components being set on fire by Arab rioters, along with the destruction of traffic lights and various electricity and communications facilities.  Other images show yet more of the bombed-out stations, the tracks as they burn and the damage to them, as well as sewer holes wrenched open.

ISRAEL - THE RUSH TO JUDGMENT - A 16-year-old Arab boy is found murdered - Arabs riot and the world assume the Jews are to blame

When three Jewish teens were kidnapped recently, foreign government officials and international organizations refrained from blaming the Arabs.  They wanted more evidence.  But when the victim is an Arab there is instant  unanimity:  The Jews did it.  And we're still waiting for the US government to call on the Arabs for "restraint".

  
In the aftermath of the grim finding of the remains of three Jewish kidnapped teenage boys and the release of a recording one of them made to police, there was no doubt about what happened and that Arabs were the perpetrators.  The government has even pinpointed suspicions on one particular Arab who is on the run. 
 
Then the body of an Arab adolescent was found.  Arabs were quick to announce he had been kidnapped by Jews and murdered as an act of revenge. 


But even before this latest killing Arabs were setting the outskirts of  Jerusalem on fire.

ISRAEL - THE PALESTINIAN KIDNAPPER'S MURDEROUS TRIBE - The long record of crime and terror of the Qawasameh tribe

The murderous Qawasameh tribe

The Palestinian Qawasameh family, which includes suspected kidnapper Marwan Qawasameh, has a long tradition of terror:

The Hamas in Hebron is led by a family from the Qawasameh tribe. Two of its prominent leaders, Abbedalla Qawasameh and Bassal Qawasameh were suspected of/involved in many terrorist attacks, including the Jerusalem bus 14A massacre and Jerusalem bus 2 massacre, which claimed the lives of 40 Israelis.  They were later killed by Yamam and IDF forces.

Shlomi Eldar writes a well-researched article in Al Monitor where he argues that the Qawasameh clan has a long tradition of ignoring Hamas leadership attempts at ceasefires with Israel, calling them a "rogue Hamas branch":
Though the clan is known for identifying with Hamas, it also has a well-earned reputation as troublemakers. Not only does it tend to ignore the movement’s leaders. It even acts counter to the policies being advocated by the movement.

THREE BOYS KIDNAPPED BY ARABS FOUND MURDERED IN ISRAEL - Why government outrage at Hamas crimes is higher than at those perpetrated by "moderate" Fatah

(SEE UPDATES at the bottom of this article, including the recording of one of the boys phone call to police begging for help.  It went unheeded.   
What part of that call didn't Emergency think was a real kidnapping?  Something very odd in police behavior.)

After an intensive search, the bodies of religious students  Naftali Fraenkel, 16, Gil-ad Shaar, 16, and Eyal Yifrach, 19 were found outside the town of Hebron, in Israel.   They were kidnapped on June 12.




While the Israeli government has been targeting its campaign against the more radical Hamas, it's necessary to point out that Hamas is not the sole perpetrator of terror in Israel.  

The 'moderate' Fatah deception

The Israeli leadership has been endeavoring to perpetuate the myth that there is a fundamental difference between the two main factions in the Palestinian nationalist movement, Fatah and Hamas. 

Fatah rules the Palestinian Authority (West Bank), and Hamas rules Gaza.

According to the Israeli government narrative, Fatah is moderate, while Hamas is extremist. 

That's true only on the surface.  These two factions are exactly the same regarding their ultimate aim, which is the obliteration of Israel and Israelis.

Hamas is quite straightforward about it.  It wants to use insurrection and terror to take over Israel. 

Unable to carry on a major military action, Hamas has to content itself with launching low-tech rockets into southern Israel.  These rockets, despite their lack of sophistication, have injured and killed people, damaged buildings, and terrorized a large number of Israelis. 

Fatah, on the other hand, has engaged in a convoluted but quite effective international campaign to empower itself in phases.  It has embraced the diplomatic route to achieve the partition of Israel and the installation of an Arab state in what today is Jewish land, the Biblical land of Judea and Samaria. 

Not that Fatah has abandoned terror.  Its followers still threaten, harass, and murder Israelis. 
You just don't hear much about Fatah terror.

And why is that? 

It's because of the Israeli leadership's commitment to partition Israel.  They need a partner they can call - with a straight face - a peace partner.  This in spite of the numerous acts of violence and terror by "moderate" Fatah. 

The LAND FOR PEACE plan is nothing but an act of deception perpetrated on the Israeli people by the political Left and fake-right wing politicians who talk tough but submit to the Two-States-for-Two-Peoples script as designed by the United States and European governments. 

As we witness the Middle East scene erupt in flames with Arabs killing other Arabs, and the complete inability by Arab states to live according to the most basic tenets of human rights, it is utterly cynical to demand the partition of Israel - an island of stability and human rights - to create "peace" in the area. 

The partition of Israel is not aimed at bringing peace to the region but at weakening the country and easing its destruction by its enemies. 

The Land for Peace plan as promoted by the US government and Europe aims at an Israel only 9 miles wide at one point.

The murder of Ben Yosef Livnat, an unarmed religious Jew who went to worship to a sacred site and was murdered by forty-four bullets shot by a 'moderate' Fatah Palestinian Authority (PA) policeman.   The PA "arrested"  the murderer and accomplices so that they would escape Israeli justice but later let them "escape".

For reasons that remain unclear, Israel's police, media and many of its top politicians appear adamant to pretend that (most) terror attacks (in Israel) do not exist, and to keep the public unaware of them.

PALESTINIANS THROW FIREBOMBS AT BUS FULL OF CHILDREN IN ISRAEL - MEDIA SILENT

Arutz Sheva reports:  Four terrorists hurl firebombs at bus near Hevron, engulfing it in flames, but media ignores story, preferring to cover Jewish graffiti.
 
A well-planned firebomb attack on a bus full of Jewish schoolgirls Tuesday could easily have ended in tragedy, but no news source even reported that it took place, except for the one you are currently reading – Arutz Sheva.

The girls were sixth-graders from a religious school in central Israel. They were on a bat mitzva tour of the Cave of Machpela in Hevron, a site recognized by the government as an official  heritage site, when four terrorists ambushed it with firebombs.

The mother of one of the girls, who was accompanying the trip, told Arutz Sheva that the ambush had been well planned. She described moments of horror when the firebombs exploded, one after the other, on the bus's windows, east of the Halhoul bridge, as the bus made its way back from Hevron.

"This was a bat mitzva trip that had been approved by the Ministry of Education, which included a visit to Rachel's Tomb. The buses were bulletproofed and had an armed guard,” she said.

Chananel, the woman's son, whose sister had been on the bus, wrote on Facebook on Tuesday: “Three firebombs exploded on the bus. It was a direct hit. The bus was engulfed in flames and the girls and the mothers in the bus screamed, cried, leaned down toward the floor. There was a smell of burnt plastic.

PALESTINIANS MURDER JEWISH TEENAGE GIRL ON HER WAY TO JOB INTERVIEW

'They Butchered My Daughter'  -  Shelly Dadon's father tells Arutz Sheva that his daughter was apparently killed by terrorists; the murder was heard over a phone call.

The father of Shelly Dadon, the 19-year-old resident of Afula whose body was found Thursday in the woods near Migdal Haemek, has spoken for the first time regarding his daughter's murder, which apparently was committed by a terrorist who fled to a nearby Arab village.
 
"We started to worry. At 2 p.m. we realized something happened," the father told Arutz Sheva, recalling the events of how his daughter went missing after leaving for a job interview. "We contacted the police and I gave a description (of Shelly), and then they told us to come to the station, and I realized something had happened."
 
Regarding the motivation behind his daughter's murder, he said "I believe it was nationalistic, and still can't digest (her murder). She was a very responsible girl."
 
"They shouldn't rest until they find her phone, maybe there are fingerprints on it," added the bereaved father, noting that she had been in the middle of a phone call with her cousin apparently at the time of the murder.
 
While on the phone, Shelly said "there is someone scary here, I'm being strangled!" Shelly appeared to be referring to a woman [extrapolated from Hebrew grammar - ed.]. 
 
"There's no security in this country," said Shelly's father. "My message to parents is not to send your children alone, we don't digest the fact that in the state of Israel you go to your workplace and don't come back. They just butchered my girl."  The funeral of Shelly Dadon will take place on Saturday after Shabbat, at 10:30 p.m. in Afula's cemetery.
 
"Her first time leaving the house alone."  Members of Shelly's family are currently mourning the loss at the Dadon home in Afula.  "She was a blossoming young lady," one family member stated. "This was her first time leaving the house alone." 
 
The Shin Bet is still hunting for the killer, who as noted apparently fled to a nearby Arab village; police have stated their belief that the murder was nationalistically motivated - a terror attack, not a criminal act. 
 
Despite that, Shelly's cousin Alon noted there has been a remarkable lack of condemnation of the attack from Israel's government.
 
"I want every MK to know what is going on here," he said. "If this had been a 'price tag' graffiti incident (by Jewish kids), the whole State would have been up in arms. But when a young girl is murdered on her way to a job interview, they are all silent." "We demand that they bring [the killer] to justice," he added. 
 
By contrast, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and others were swift to condemn an alleged act of "price tag" vandalism earlier this week, especially in light of a damning report from the US State Department over the "Jewish terrorism."  Netanyahu called the latest attack "outrageous," vowing, "we are using ISA (Shin Bet) resources for this purpose.”

“In the video clip, Jewish fathers can be heard telling their children to not be afraid, and the young children, holding one another’s hands, proceeded calmly and orderly, despite the clearly life endangering situation that they found themselves in. The police, on the other hand, appear in the video to be on the edge of panic, barely in control at all, running this way and that, but achieving nothing other than bringing great shame to the name of the Israeli police and creating a horrific desecration of G-d’s name through their cowardly display of inaction in the place of G-d’s Sanctuary.”

BLOGGER'S NOTE
 
Israeli authorities routinely play down Arab acts of terror and violence, even to the point of hiding evidence.  They are also inexplicably reluctant to curb Arab violence. 
 
Please read the following article. It will dispel many misconceptions you may have about Israeli authorities. 

The truth is that they treat Jews with discrimination and harshness, while they go easy on Arabs.   Israeli authorities allow Arabs to attack Jews with impunity in circumstances that are very predictable, such as while driving, or walking on their way to prayer at Temple Mount, the most sacred site in Judaism. 

Every single day gangs of Arab youngsters throw rocks at motorists.  These rocks have injured and killed Israelis.  They also riot outside Temple Mount to deny Jews the right to pray there.  Police have done NOTHING to protect Jews.
 
Motives for Israeli government policies of tolerance for Arab terror are unclear.  These policies are supported by left-wing Israelis and by the ever-meddling United States government representatives.

How Israel authorities cover up Arab acts of terror
 
 
Debka File reports:
 
Shelly Dadon was murdered by the veteran Israeli-Arab terrorist group “Galilee Liberators”
 
Shelly Dadon, 20, from Afulah, was murdered Thursday, May 1, in a deserted wood near the Migdal Haemek industrial zone in northern Israel, by a gang of Israeli Arabs belonging to an terrorist organization called “The Galilee Liberators.”
 
She died after multiple stab wounds were inflicted savagely on her upper torso.
 
The killers planted clues at the scene that broadcasted their affiliation. However the local police spoke of “various lines of inquiry’ – a regular cliché they use to play down Palestinian terrorist action.
 
At this time of year, the police prefer to avoid aggravating Arab-Jewish tensions before Israel’s national Day of Remembrance Day for the Fallen and 66th Day of Independence early next week.  
 
Shelly Dadon was on her way to a job interview in Migdal Ha’Emek. Her murderers may have shadowed her from her home in Afula to her destination, or possibly, grabbed her when she arrived. They would have been familiar with the location.
 
In November 2009, a gang of three Israeli Arabs belonging to the same “Galilee Liberators” organization murdered Yofim Weinstein, a taxi driver from Nazareth Ilit, leaving behind similar leads to their group’s complicity.
 
Their organization was formed by Arabs living in northern Israel in 2002, when the Palestinian suicide bombings on Israeli towns of the Second Intifada were at their peak. In the subsequent 12 years, the Galilee Liberators developed ties with Palestinian terrorist organizations such as the extremist Popular Front, the PFLP-General Command, Hamas and Al Aqsa Brigades. Parts are allied with the Lebanese Hizballah and others with al Qaeda. 
 
(Blogger's noteAl Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades are the military wing of Fatah -  the so-called "moderate" faction ruling the Palestinian Authority -  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Aqsa_Martyrs'_Brigades)
 
The organization has no known command hierarchy. It appears to operate through autonomous cells scattered among the northern Arab population from Acre to Safed and Nazareth. Their collaboration is limited to providing such services as hiding used weapons of assault or providing killers with hideouts.

Their preferred mode of operation is to waylay individual Israelis in quiet spots and kill them by brutal means.
 
This is what happened to the IDF soldier Oleg Shaychat from Nazareth Ilit. Mohammed Anbatawi and Mohammed Hatib from Kafr Kana, members of the Galilee Liberators organization, kidnapped him from the Beit Rimon intersection on July 21, 2003, killed him and abandoned his body in a nearby olive orchard, after a last death blow.

Another girl, Dana Bennett, was his next victim. She like Shelly Dadon was apparently singled out and tailed to a lonely spot before she was murdered on Aug. 1, 2003.

Police spent years searching for her body. At length, in January 2005, the “Galilee Liberators” contacted the French News Agency AFP with an offer to reveal its whereabouts for the price of 1,000 Palestinian terrorists to be released from Israeli jails. Dana was finally found and laid to rest without this deal.

 Then, five years ago, on Aug. 12, 2008, Ahmed Mahmoud Khatib from Kafr Manda, snatched the automatic sidearm of an Israeli security guard in the Old City of Jerusalem, opened fire and injured 10 passersby before he was caught.

debkafile’s counterterrorism sources report that this band of Galilee terrorists has over the years committed a number of attacks that were not brought to the notice of the public, such as ambushes of police vans, breaking into IDF bases to vandalize equipment and steal arms, tracking IDF movements in the North and passing information on to allied terrorist organizations on the West Bank and Lebanon
