| Is Hamas shooting rockets to test out their anti-aircraft missiles when Israel responds?noreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 19 Apr 04:45 AM On Monday, Ga | | On Monday, Gaza terror groups shot a missile towards Israel that was intercepted by Iron Dome. While Hamas doesn't seem to have been directly responsible for the rocket attack, it seems likely that they gave the green light to another group to shoot it.
Why?
Because Hamas knows that Israel cannot just ignore the rockets, and will inevitably respond with a minor airstrike towards an empty weapons cache or similar target.
And knowing that, Hamas can test out its shoulder-mounted Strela anti-aircraft missiles. Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem announced, "Congratulations to the men of the resistance who confronted the fighter jets with our anti-aircraft defense." Qassem claimed it had been the first time that Hamas had used the surface-to-air missile.
In January, Gaza groups also fired anti-aircraft missiles at IDF helicopters that responded to "accidental" firing of rockets.
Hamas needs targets to practice using its weapons. What better target than Israeli planes and helicopters? Especially since they can be conjured up at will with a couple of cheap rockets. * * * * * * Buy the EoZ book, PROTOCOLS: Exposing Modern Antisemitism...Read More |
From Ian: Meir Y. Soloveichik: Second Passover Though the day is not named in the Bible, it was Jewish tradition that lovingly bestowed the phrase "Second Passover" upon it, capturing how it symbolized a second chance to celebrate freedom, the potential for a second opportunity for celebration when the first was lost. And this, in turn, reflects the nature of Jewish history itself. When Menachem Begin was told by Jimmy Carter that he faced Israel's last chance to make peace, Begin told the press, "This, of course, is one of the important events of our time." He added: "If people say this is a fateful meeting, we disagree. The fate of our people should not depend on any meeting—this meeting or any other. Our people lived thousands of years before Camp David and shall continue to exist thousands of years after." For the Jews, Begin continued, "there are no last opportunities or chances." Centuries after the Temple was destroyed, Jews would mark "Second Passover" by eating a bit of the matzah left over from the month before, pondering when the next chance of celebrating freedom would occur in Jewish history. It is therefore no coincidence that Schacter, looking back at that moment in Buchenwald, called it a "Second Passover." It was not yet a month after the festival, as Schacter acknowledged, but "it was Pesach Sheni in the most meaningful sense for these Jews, who were...Read More |
In the light of the stupidity of this past weekend, where masses of Israel haters all chose to believe the same absurd lie that Jews planned to take over the Temple Mount, I found this article quoting Herbert Samuel refuting the exact same lie - in 1922. Then, as now, the rumors are spread by antisemites - in that case, by the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem whose Jew-hatred was explicit and cannot be denied. Today, it is by the Palestinian Authority, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Jordanian lawmakers and others whose equally obvious antisemitism is routinely denied by the oh-so-woke people of today. * * * * * * Buy the EoZ book, PROTOCOLS: Exposing Modern Antisemitism today at Amazon!

Jews in the Old City of Jerusalem, walking to prayers, being attacked by Arabs on Sunday. With a soundtrack made by another Arab who is thrilled to see attacks like this. Which gets about as much coverage as when we see similar attacks in Brooklyn. And with the exact same motivation: pure hatred of Jews. Here is another video from Sunday. It was taken at the dawn prayer inside Al Aqsa mosque - when there are no police on the Temple Mount. And Muslims are praying right next to them, not seeing any contradiction between a place of prayer and a weapons cache. Both these videos are taken by proud Palestinian Arabs. The same ones who say that Ramadan is holy and it is terrible for anyone to attack Muslims during that month are bragging about planning to attack, and actually attacking, Jews on Passover.
I don't think Mehdi Hassan or Ayman Mohyeldin will mention this in their incendiary, lying depictions of recent events as Jews...Read More |
From Ian: Melanie Phillips: Complicit in depravity I have written many times — as here, here, and here — about the astonishing desperation of the Biden administration to make a deal with Iran over its nuclear programme. If the Obama administration had some of us scratching our heads in horror over its 2015 deal which guaranteed an Iranian path to nuclear weapons with at best only a few years' delay, the successor deal on the verge of being agreed by the Biden team was shaping up to be very much worse. This would reportedly not only guarantee an Iranian nuclear bomb within a much shorter timescale, not only funnel tens of billions of dollars in sanctions relief into the coffers of a US-designated terrorist state already responsible for killing scores of Americans and other westerners, but even worse was poised to lift the designation of "Foreign Terrorist Organisation" from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Iran's de facto army that's responsible for countless global atrocities. At the last hurdle, however, progress towards a deal recently ground to a halt. With even some Democrats in the US Congress as well as otherwise lily-livered western countries expressing consternation and disbelief that America might be about to give an effective green light to the IRGC, this suddenly seemed to become a sticking point for the Biden team, too. Suddenly, the US Secretary of State Antony Blinken...Read More |
Haaretz reports that a recent poll shows that 73% of Palestinians believe the Quran includes a prophecy regarding the demise of the state of Israel between March and June 2022. I could not find the source of the poll, so I don't know if it was from a respected pollster or an online Internet survey. The so-called prophecy was created by Sheikh Dr. Bassam Jarrar, a Hamas preacher, who wrote a book in 1996 making this prediction.
He says he was inspired to look for the prophecy after hearing a third hand story about an old Jewish woman in Iraq who told a Muslim friend in May, 1948 that Israel would not last longer than 76 years.
A Muslim Brotherhood leader in Iraq heard this story from his mother, and Jarrar heard it from him. So the provenance is rock-solid, because old anonymous Jewish women are clearly prophets.
Basing his calculations on the Islamic calendar, Jarrar finds some truly ridiculous reasons that all point to 2022, by counting verses in various sections of the Koran. The number 19 is prominent, as 76 is 19 x 4. He also claims...Read More |
Joods Actueel reports that VRT, the public Flemish-language broadcaster of Belgium, featured in its satirical program The Ideal World ("De Ideale Wereld") a spoof using footage from Schindler's List making fun of the anticipated shortage of Cent Wafers, manufactured in Ukraine. In the parody broadcast on April 7, called "Schindler's Shopping List," Oskar Schindler, who during World War II saved more than a thousand Jews in his factory in Poland, is presented as the founder of a biscuit factory where Cent Wafers are produced by his Jewish employees. Instead of despairing over saving lives, Schindler in the spoof despairs over saving cookies. He curses the doomed Jewish child as having taken the last pack of the wafers. In the final scene, instead of placing stones on Schindler's grave, the Jews in Israel place Cent Wafers. Christian and Jewish groups in Belgium denounced the video. VRT has attacked Jews before. This is an outrageous trivialization of the Holocaust, done with Belgian tax money. * * * * * * Buy the EoZ book, PROTOCOLS: Exposing Modern Antisemitism today at...Read More |
