| Some of the victims of the murderers being released Posted: 27 Oct 2013 08:10 PM PDT From Times of Israel: The Israel Prison Service published the names late Sunday night of 26 Palestinian prisoners set to be released over the next 48 hours as part of a deal to keep the US-brokered Israeli-Palestinian peace talks on course. All are convicted murderers.JPost adds: Samarin Mustafa Kalib Asrar and Kra'an Azat Musa Musa, the two Fatah terrorists who abducted and murdered Israeli soldier Tzvi Klein in the West Bank in 1992 are also scheduled to be released this week.YNet has the full list of murderers being released. Here are some additional victims I could identify from various lists of attacks: Rafi Farhoud Karajeh, arrested in May 1985, had murdered Aharon Avidar, who was 28. Hazem Kassem Shbair was one of the killers of Isaac Rotenberg, who was 67 when he was murdered with an axe. He was a Holocaust survivor. Shbair's partner in murder was released during the earlier release. Najeh Mohamed Muqbel, together with his friend, murdered his employer. Ya'akov Shalom. Abdel Rahman Yusef al- Haj murdered 42-year old Genia Friedman in 1992 on the street in Kfar Sava. He stabbed three others as well. Genia left behind am 11 year old daughter. Osama Zakariya Abu Hanani and Mohamed Yusef Turkeman shot and killed Moshe Biton and injured his wife Mali near a convenience store. Ahmed Said Abdel Aziz, also being released, planned the attack.           |
| "Jews hide their anti-Egypt plans in Pepsi ads" Posted: 27 Oct 2013 04:14 PM PDT From the ADL: The latest conspiracy theory coming out of Egypt suggests that Pepsi is owned by Jews and that the company is somehow being used to infiltrate the country. According to the conspiracy theory, Pepsi is an acronym for "Pay Every Pound for the Security of Israel."Well, he's right about one thing. There are a lot of stupid people around. Here's the ad and its brilliant interpretation:  Don't you see the resemblance between the W of NOW and the four fingered logo of the Muslim Brotherhood demonstrators? I cannot believe that the people behind this theory didn't know about Pepsi's sponsorship of the Hamas soccer tournament every year. What more proof do you need that it supports the Muslim Brotherhood? Ah, but the reason is that this way, the Jews can discredit the bright Egyptians who figure out their schemes - by changing the date on them!      |
| Israeli road system hit by cyber-attack Posted: 27 Oct 2013 02:00 PM PDT As far as I know, this is unprecedented: HADERA, Israel (AP) — When Israel's military chief delivered a high-profile speech this month outlining the greatest threats his country might face in the future, he listed computer sabotage as a top concern, warning a sophisticated cyberattack could one day bring the nation to a standstill.The earlier cases had insiders messing with traffic signals, but in this case the attack came - seemingly - from the Internet. It is possible that the Trojan Horse was introduced via USB key or CD-ROM, which might mean that the tunnel wasn't a target, but that it was software simply looking for -say - a certain type of surveillance camera that is connected via Wi-Fi or Ethernet. If it was a cyberattack from the Internet, the bigger question is, why would any of Israel's cyber-infrastructure be accessible from the Internet? (h/t MtTB)      |
| PA TV shows cartoon Devil working with Jews to kill Mohammed Posted: 27 Oct 2013 12:00 PM PDT From Palestinian Media Watch: The Devil: "I've built my plan on the burning hate and loathing of Muhammad and his supporters that fills the hearts of the Jews... "      |

In recent decades the tactic has been to present it as arising from the essentially local plight of Palestinians due to seemingly arbitrary out-of-the-blue Israeli occupation. Yet on occasion this deliberate misrepresentation is exposed.No one intervened to help us, Sydney victim says Shlomo Ben Haim, an emissary for the Jewish National Fund who was among the victims of Friday night's attack, said Sunday that the attackers screamed "bloody Jews" and were able to continue their assault for several minutes, even though it took place in a well-lit area with foot traffic and open restaurants.Protesters Scream 'Long Live the Intifada' at JNF Event The Jewish National Fund (JNF) recently held its annual meeting in the city of Denver, Colorado, in the United States.

| The Egyptian siege on Gaza continues Posted: 27 Oct 2013 08:00 AM PDT Egypt has now closed the Rafah crossing for the second straight day. Students, medical patients and other travelers cannot leave or enter Gaza from Egypt. Egypt had closed Rafah during the Eid al Adha holiday, and then opened it only to allow Gaza pilgrims who went on Hajj to return to their homes. 1450 people crossed Rafah on Friday. No NGOs seem to be too excited about this.      |
| "Israel is not alone"? If only... (Zvi) Posted: 27 Oct 2013 05:54 AM PDT In yesterday's links, we excerpted an article by the UK ambassador to Israel, Matthew Gould in JPost: When President Obama was here earlier in the year, he said, "Atem lo levad" – "Israel is not alone." Today I want to underline this message, particularly in the context of the question that now dominates discussion of Israel's security – the question of Iran's nuclear program.Zvi responds: If only that were so. But it is increasingly clear that western governments have abandoned not only principles but basic common sense as well. Obama's ludicrously stupid foreign policy rewards enemies and punishes allies, destroying not only Israel's trust in the US (and western governments in general) but also American influence in the region. And that is just plain dangerous. Obama's foreign policy is an absolute disaster, the likes of which we have not seen in decades. Carter was such a disaster, but had the great good fortune to benefit from Sadat's unexpected and dramatic flight to Jerusalem. Obama has the Arab Spring, and has utterly failed to use it to advance sane interests. Instead, he empowers the strongest of the most viciously anti-human rights, anti-American and antisemitic forces in the region: the Muslim Brotherhood and the Islamic Republic of Iran. The vacillating American President and his weak, naive Secretaries of State are consistently 20 years behind and 1000 miles away from reality. More than that, they are consistently gullible and credulous when facing enemies and absurdly suspicious of the existential fears of long-time allies against whom these enemies are arrayed. Israel cannot trust the American administration. There. I said it. I did not want to say it. I never want to have to say something like that. But it is true. Israel cannot AFFORD to trust an American administration that throws its long-time friends under the bus, alienates virtually every long-time ally and empowers those who would do them harm. As for the UK - Ambassador Gould not withstanding, because I think that he is mostly a decent guy, for a British diplomat - is not with Israel. The UK has not been "with" Israel for a very long time. The UK's foreign policy is run by Arabists, who think that Israel is "that shitty little country." Its media is run by antisemites, who believe every lie that has ever been concocted about Israel. Its royals refuse even to visit Israel (but have visited the dictators of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Jordan, China, Tunisia, etc). Its "labour unions" boycott Israeli unions. Its academics largely refuse to stand up against the taunts and abuse of Jews and Israelis in British universities. Israel has been a true friend to the British government at times, but the other way around? Almost never. If his Excellency wants to convince Israel that Britain is with Israel and won't compromise its security, then he will need to stop talking nonsense and change British policy. "I am here with a simple message: It is in these challenging moments that Israel can take comfort that there are countries that will never compromise on Israel's security. Britain is one of those countries." Purest nonsense. The UK has sold out Israel's security again and again, from the Mandate period, when it locked Jews in concentration camps in Cyprus (but never did this to many of the illegal Arab immigrants who now claim to be "Palestinians"), to 1947, when British armed forces commanded or protected Arab military formations, until the present day. Israel has a hard-earned right to be deeply skeptical of British claims to have Israel's back; Israel has paid in blood for British decisions. "If the Iranians are genuine, there is an opportunity to prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons in one of world's most unpredictable regions." The Iranians are NOT genuine on this. They have never been genuine on this topic. To anyone with a very basic understanding of the Middle East, actions always speak far more loudly than sunny propaganda. Only a government of fools takes its eyes off the real world and lets PR firms hired by dictatorships shape its reality. Ahmadinejad was not the problem; Khamenei's regime is the problem.      |
| Hamas opening tunnels to Egypt as fast as Egypt destroys them Posted: 27 Oct 2013 03:48 AM PDT Ma'an today reports: The military wing of Hamas, al-Qassam Brigades, announced Sunday that one of its members died in a tunnel accident in Rafah south of the Gaza Strip.Egypt's much heralded campaign against the tunnels in the Sinai may be not quite as effective as they pretend. From The Daily Star (Lebanon): Destroying tunnels, though, requires constant vigilance. Earlier this month, the Egyptian military claimed to have destroyed almost 800 tunnels in 2013. In January 2013, however, Egyptian journalist and Sinai expert Mohannad Sabry estimated there were around 250 operating tunnels, which suggests that Egyptian forces are continuously closing the same tunnels.      |
