Jews from Arab lands: Turning back the wheels of history
"Until quite recently, the issue of Jews from Arab lands was all but absent from the public agenda and in the Israeli media. Few remember the terrible tragedies suffered by Jews in Arab countries — Algeria, Libya, Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Syria, Yemen and Iraq. Their disaster has been nearly forgotten. It is not taught properly in schools, not discussed enough in the media, not commemorated by any official state mechanism and, until recently, was not mentioned in any international contexts.
Arab propaganda was able to conceal the population exchanges between Israel and Arab countries during the 1948 War of Independence from international discourse. Arab propaganda argues the validity of the right of return for Palestinians who fought against Israel, some of whom fled for their lives for fear of what might happen had they stayed. It has managed to instil in the public's perception, on a global level, that the Palestinian Nakba was the only tragedy that took place at the time of the state's establishment."

"Democracy is Forbidden in Islam" by Khaled Abu Toameh
"It now remains to be seen whether the Salafi Jihadists will resort to violence to prevent or foil the parliamentary election. Jordanian security officials have expressed deep concern over the radical movement's involvement in the civil war in Syria. Dozens of Jordanian Salafis have crossed the border to join various Islamist terror groups waging Jihad [holy war] against Syrian dictator Bashar Assad's regime.
The Jordanians' biggest fear is that when the Salafis are done with Syria, they will intensify their efforts to turn the kingdom into an Islamic state."

Terrorists Restocking Arsenal to Pre-Operation "Pillar of Defense" Levels, Officials Say
"Organizations in Gaza are working hard to restock their weapons arsenal through generous assistance from Iran," a senior officer in the Southern Command told Channel 2 according to a translation.
"Through the tunnels of the Sinai border of Gaza come rockets, anti-tank missiles, mortars and everything you can think of. More than that they are trying to get new weapons in what they call the surprise of the next round. We're talking about anti-tank missiles, anti-aircraft missiles and long-range rockets."

Heavy Rains Destroy Dozens of Smuggling Tunnels Along Egypt-Gaza Border
"The source said that the tunnels had collapsed after they were flooded, injuring dozens inside and damaging goods in transit."
"According to the Egyptian Independent, the Gaza-based Al Mezan Center for Human Rights estimates that 197 people were killed from 2006 to 2011 in the tunnels, including 10 children."

IDF Blog IDF Captain Saves Palestinians Trapped in Floodwater
"What made you want to risk your life in the middle of a storm?
Our role in the region is not easy. Believe me when I say that I understand we are in a complicated situation with the Palestinians. But at the end of the day, we're all human beings. The commander of our regional brigade has repeatedly emphasized to those under his command that helping the Palestinian civilian population is a vital part of our role as IDF soldiers in the area.
I didn't even think twice about it. People's lives were in danger. I was ready to take the chance.
After this incident, my soldiers and I continued to rescue stranded Palestinians in the area throughout the night, but this story was undoubtedly the most memorable."

Hamas accuses Israel of flooding Gaza - during winter storm

Posted: 11 Jan 2013 10:45 AM PST

The Al Qassam Brigades of Hamas tweeted this on Thursday:

Alas, over a day later I cannot find the news story that documents this amazing event of Israel opening up a dam in the Negev to flood Gaza.

However, Gazans did accuse Israel of an identical crime - using the identical fictitious dam - exactly three years ago.

(I found one of the fake "dams" a short while later.)

Another moderate Fatah terror group forms

Posted: 11 Jan 2013 09:20 AM PST

From YNet:
A group of Fatah gunmen from the Balata refugee in Nablus camp have announced the establishment of "the army of free fighters" on Wednesday.

The group members celebrated the occasion by holding a march at the camp during which they fired in the air.

Palestinian security forces have been engaged in a large-scale mission to confiscate illegal weapons in the Jenin and Balata refugee camps in recent months.

The raids often involved fire exchanges with the gunmen, some of whom are former members of Fatah's military wing the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades.

The gunmen now appear to be reasserting their authority in the West Bank. At a press conference the group said, "We call on President Abu Mazen (Mahmoud Abbas) to form a commission of inquiry to investigate the security forces' operation that targeted hundreds of Fatah men in the West Bank."

They claimed that the arrests had humiliated them and left them with the choice of either living with dignity or dying with dignity.

The group stressed that they support Abbas as the Palestinian people's only president and will turn their weapons only against the enemies of the president and Fatah.
But in this video one of them says they are against Hamas and not against Israel.



Perhaps they just love to fire weapons.

Jordan tells Syrian Palestinians to drop dead. No one cares.

Posted: 11 Jan 2013 07:30 AM PST

From Times of Israel earlier this week:
Jordan has turned away dozens of Palestinian refugees on the Syrian border fleeing regime bombardment of the Yarmouk refugee camp south of Damascus.

Palestinian refugees living in the Yarmouk refugee camp south of Damascus have tried to enter Jordan through the Jaber border crossing after their camp was bombarded by Assad regime forces in previous weeks. They told Al-Jazeera earlier this week that while Palestinian refugees carrying Jordanian IDs were allowed to enter Jordan, children of Jordanian women who were not citizens are being refused.

Jordan has absorbed some 126,000 Syrian refugees, but Palestinians fleeing Syria are placed in a separate refugee camp at the Cyber City compound, under stricter conditions, and are banned from entering Jordanian cities. The Jordanian government fears that an influx of Palestinian refugees may tilt the demographic balance in Jordan even more towards the Palestinians, who are already believed to comprise a large majority of the population.

"Jordan is not obligated to pay a political price for the Syrian crisis," Jordanian government spokesman Samih Maaytah told Al-Jazeera when asked why the Palestinians were not being let in.
More from today:
Jordan will not allow Palestinian refugees fleeing Syria to enter the kingdom, for fear that doing so would encourage Israel to deport Palestinians to Jordan, Prime Minister Abdullah Ensour said on Thursday.

"There are those who want to absolve Israel once again of its responsibility for banishing Palestinians from their homes," Ensour said in an extensive interview with the London-based Arab daily al-Hayat. "Jordan is not the place to solve Israel's problems. Jordan has taken a sovereign and explicit decision not to allow Palestinians carrying Syrian [travel] documents to enter Jordan."

"Receiving these brethren is a red line for us, because it will be a prelude for another wave of deportation, which is what the Israeli government wants," Ensour added. "Our Palestinian brothers in Syria have rights in their country of origin, and they should remain there until the crisis is over."
The Arab world is in an uproar over this blatant apartheid against Palestinian Arabs, as well as Mahmoud Abbas' disgraceful refusal to save the lives of Syrian Palestinians as well. Human rights groups are appealing every day to the UN to save the lives of these hapless victims of Syrian violence. Electronic Intifada and 972Mag are all over these displays of hypocrisy and callous disregard for the lives of Palestinian Arabs.

Just kidding!

No one gives a damn if Palestinian Arabs live or die if they cannot be used as weapons against Israel. The silence from the "pro-Palestinian" community is deafening - and very, very telling.

UAE to build housing for Gaza terrorists

Posted: 11 Jan 2013 06:00 AM PST

From Ma'an:
Gaza's housing minister said Thursday that the United Arab Emirates has donated $50 million to build a housing project for Palestinians released from Israeli jails.

The "prisoners city," which will be located in central Gaza, will be named after the UAE leader Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, minister of public works and housing Yousef Subhi Al-Ghariz said.
Why exactly should former prisoners - most of whom were convicted on terrorism charges - need special housing?

The fact that the "moderate" UAE is prioritizing this project in Gaza shows that the larger Arab world still supports and rewards terrorism.

UPDATE: Elder of Lobby half-jokes: "Having lived in Israeli prisons they got used to higher living standards than those available in Gaza."

Today's paranoid ramblings from a PressTV columnist

Posted: 11 Jan 2013 02:00 AM PST

I enjoyed this one:
Prior to the establishment of what we know today as Israel, there were several attempts made to establish a homeland for Jewish people in other places throughout the world.

What appears to be the most successful attempt to establish the Jews in a homeland of their own is found approximately 5,000 miles east of Moscow close to the Chinese/Russian border in a town called Birobidzahn. Birobidzahn is the capital of the Jewish Autonomous Region (JAR). This region was established by Joseph Stalin in 1928 as the first official Jewish homeland.

...According to the JAR official website, the Jewish settlers were given land, farm equipment and money donated by the various Jewish organizations and some sympathetic countries. This being the case, we are left to ask ourselves why an additional Jewish homeland was required and why in Palestine? Why weren't the Jews who were evacuated from Germany and other parts of Europe after the Holocaust in Germany, not taken to their Jewish homeland in Russia, a homeland that by then was well established and at peace, the new settlers living peacefully among the people who were native to the region?

The answer is obvious. The Jewish homeland in Russia was not Zionist, it was Jewish.

What they apparently wanted was the land of Palestine, at least to start.

[Herzl] was looking for a base of operation from which a colony of militant extremist Zionist terrorists would be equipped with weapons by their Western sponsors.

In gratitude, these extremists would serve the British Crown and other Western powers as a military outpost. This outpost would serve as a launch pad for a series of wars and revolutions in the region that would culminate in the Zionist domination of the Muslim world. ...It was to conquer and to hold Jerusalem (al-Quds) and from Jerusalem (al-Quds) to dominate the entire Muslim world. It is quite possible that the grand Faustian deal struck between Herzl and the British Crown, resulting in the very unpopular Balfour Declaration was perhaps an agreement to allow Zionists to settle Palestine for that purpose.

Could it be that Herzl imagined that once Zionists had conquered Palestine, they would expand throughout the Muslim world through a series of revolutions? Is it possible that Herzl felt that anti-Semitism, would suffice to get Zionists into Palestine, but revolutions would be required for Zionism to spread and to dominate the Muslim world and to create Eretz Israel? Does this explain what we see today in Syria and the UK's and France's insistence that Israel be aided by NATO and the Western powers in its attempts at regime change and expansion into Syria? Does Herzl's plan explain what happened in Libya and why Qaddafi was first driven from power and then seemingly killed?

There is little doubt that such ideas will be dismissed as mere conspiracy theory. Even so, we can say for certain, that no other theory suits so perfectly, the events in Palestine since 1948, including the 1967 war leading up to today's headlines.
Why else could Jews have been interested in living in Jerusalem and the rest of Israel except to run roughshod over a billion Muslims? It all makes so much sense!
