Just Do It!

New Israeli PM Netanyahu wastes little time: Warns USA must end Iran's nuke drive, or Israel may attack...

Dear Prime Minister Netanyahu, please stop waiting on the U.S. to do anything. It ain't gonna happen. Just go and do what needs to be done. While you're at it, see if you can do something about the missile in North Korea too. It's just sitting there begging to be destroyed...

First They Came For The Jews...

Via Mark Steyn in a column about the real target of the anti-Israel protests that are happening now:

...you'll briefly see the demonstrators taunt the police, daring them to enforce their authority. For a clearer picture, look at this "pro-Palestinian" protest in London and the Metropolitan Police retreating in the face of a crowd jeering, "Run, run, you cowards!" and "Fatwa!" The west's deluded multiculti progressives should understand: In the end, this isn't about Gaza, this isn't about Jews. It's about you.

Hezbollah Targets Israeli Civilians... On Purpose...

Israel Hit by Rockets From Lebanon, Conflict Widens

Lebanese militants [I think we all know that means Hezbollah: QC] fired at least three rockets into Israel early Thursday, threatening to open a new front for the Jewish state as it pushed forward with a bloody offensive in the Gaza Strip that has killed nearly 700 people.

Two people were lightly injured, and the rockets that exploded in Israel's north raised the specter of renewed hostilities with Hezbollah, just 2 1/2 years after Israel battled the guerrilla group to a 34-day stalemate. Hezbollah started the 2006 war as Israel was battling Palestinian militants in Gaza.

No group claimed responsibility and Lebanon's government, wary of conflict, quickly condemned the rocket fire. Israel fired mortar shells into southern Lebanon in response.

For a second straight day, Israel said it suspended is Gaza military operation for three hours to allow in humanitarian supplies.

I assume the international condemnation of the "Lebanese militants" disproportionate response will be forthcoming? Now? Now? Now? Soon? Soon? Hello? Helloooo.....?

Tick Tock

Via Debbie Schlussel:

Although the video is in Hebrew, you need only see the pic to see what is being said--marked for death. But here's my Cliff's Notes quickie translation: This Morning, TZaHaL [the Israeli Defense Forces] took over HAMAS' "Al-Aqsa" television station and put on this video of HAMAs leaders' faces, with a headline in Arabic writing saying their time is running out.

Let Israel Do What It Needs To Do

Obama Stirs Fears In Israel (by Ralph Peters)

Israel can deal with self-aggrandizing busybodies, such as French President Nicolas Sarkozy, whose irresponsible attempts to force a cease-fire upon Israel benefit only Hamas. (Carla, can't you give that guy something to do?) But Israel would be hard pressed to fight on without American support. [...]

Obama's an unknown quantity, though. While hysterical claims that he'll be pro-Islamist from start to finish are absurd, even minor shifts away from supporting Israel's struggle against terrorists could have catastrophic consequences. And Israel's vaunted intelligence services can't tell their superiors what Obama will do, since few (if any) of the president-elect's supporters know what he intends to do.

In fact, the president-elect may not know himself. He's a babe in the woods, and the woods are full of wolves. Fighting political rivals doesn't prepare you for fighting terrorist fanatics.

For now, Israel must worry that a major ground offensive against Hamas would be halted halfway by the withdrawal of US support, both diplomatic and practical. The IDF even counts on us to replenish reserve stocks of the guided weapons that minimize civilian casual ties or penetrate tunnels and bunkers. Israel could find that it had paid a grim price in the blood of its sons and daughters, only to be robbed of the chance to hand Hamas a meaningful defeat.

As for our president-elect, his all-too-coy insistence that "we have only one president at a time" has been selective from the start. Glad to pontificate on stimulus packages and union benefits, Obama has used the one-president mantra to avoid taking stands on difficult issues that bedevil or bewilder him.

Our president-elect needed to make a clear, prompt statement in support of Israel. He didn't. If I were an Israeli leader, I'd be worried, too.

I'm definitely worried. As Mr. Peters points out: "You can't impress fanatics into surrendering. You have to kill them. Nothing else works." I pray for Israel to have strength and for President Obama to have understanding.

May God Guide Them When They Act

Israel Preparing Options For Iran Strike

The IDF is drawing up options for a strike on Iranian nuclear facilities that do not include coordination with the United States, The Jerusalem Post has learned.

While its preference is to coordinate with the US, defense officials have said Israel is preparing a wide range of options for such an operation.

"It is always better to coordinate," one top Defense Ministry official explained last week. "But we are also preparing options that do not include coordination."

Israeli officials have said it would be difficult, but not impossible, to launch a strike against Iran without receiving codes from the US Air Force, which controls Iraqi airspace. Israel also asked for the codes in 1991 during the First Gulf War, but the US refused.

God bless Israel with the strength and courage to do what must be done. With or without the United States.

He teacheth my hands to war, so that the bow of steel is broken by mine arms.

The Palestinians Made It Four Whole Days Without Violence!

Rockets Hit Israel, Says Truce Broken

Palestinian militants on Tuesday fired three homemade rockets into southern Israel, the first such attack since a cease-fire between Israel and Gaza militants took effect last week.

Israel condemned the attack as a "gross violation" of the truce, but did not say whether it would retaliate.

The barrage wounded two people and capped a day of violence that presented the truce with its first serious test.

Test? This is a test for the truce? Excuse me, but once you start attacking the person with whom you've made the truce... it's over.

Four days without attacking someone. Someone call Guinness, that has to be a record for Muslims. Frankly, it's exactly four days longer than I thought they'd make it.

Osirak/al-Kibar Redux

Israeli Minister Says 'We Will Attack Iran' If Nuke Program Continues

Israel will attack Iran if it doesn't abandon its nuclear program, a Cabinet minister hoping to replace embattled Prime Minister Ehud Olmert was quoted Friday as saying.

Transportation Minister Shaul Mofaz also said Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad "will disappear before Israel does," the Yediot Ahronot daily reported. Ahmadinejad has called repeatedly for Israel's destruction.

Mofaz's spokeswoman did not immediately return a call seeking comment on the remarks, which were much more explicit than anything Olmert himself has said. Olmert has gone no further than hinting that Israel was prepared to use force against Iranian nuclear facilities, saying only Tuesday that "the Iranian threat must be stopped by all means."

Maybe Israel will do what Obama/McCain will never do and Iran won't even be an issue come November. Thank God for Israel.

What Carter Hath Wrought

More chaos:

Heading the Hamas delegation in Cairo were Gaza leaders Mahmoud Zahar and Said Siyam. "This meeting is a message to those who don't recognize Hamas' legitimacy as a movement," Zahar said as he left for Egypt, according to Hamas' Web site.

In Cairo, Hamas spokesman Taher Nuhu told The Associated Press that the purported Thursday meeting would be "a recognition of the legitimacy" of Hamas' victory in the Palestinians' parliamentary election in 2006.

Some say Jimmah is doing all this to build a legacy. I say he already has one, and it will be affecting this nation for at least the next century.

Senatorial Responses To The Call To Censure Jimmy The Dhimmi

Usually the nonsense liberals spout is kind of cute, but in wartime their instinctive idiocy is life-threatening. ~ Ann Coulter

My Republican senators are wussing out on this issue. Lindsey "The Lapdog" Graham hasn't responded at all (he's probably waiting for a pat on the head and instructions from John F. U. McCain), and Jim DeMint's office sent a "blah, blah, blah...he's a private citizen doing private things...blah, blah, blah" response. I'm very disappointed in Senator DeMint. His normally brass balls must be out for polishing this week.

But take heart, there are members of Congress who aren't just sitting back with their thumbs up their asses:

"America must speak with one voice against our terrorist enemies," Rep. Joe Knollenberg, R-Mich., said in a statement from his office. "It sends a fundamentally troubling message when an American dignitary is engaged in dialogue with terrorists. My legislation will make sure that taxpayer dollars are not being used to support discussions or negotiations with terrorist groups."

Knollenberg said the Carter Center has received about $19 million in taxpayer funds since 2001. He named his bill the Coordinated American Response to Extreme Radicals Act — or CARTER Act, for short. The Carter Center is housed at Emory University in Atlanta.

The non-binding legislation was forwarded by Rep. Bill Shuster, R-Pa. If adopted, the bill would express the "sense of Congress" that it "disapproves of former President Jimmy Carter's freelance diplomatic efforts in the Middle East, which contradict the stated foreign policy position of the current Administration."

The new legislation is the latest embodiment of scorn directed at Carter over meetings he plans this week with leaders of Hamas, which both the United States and Israel recognize as a terror organization and with which they refuse to negotiate.

Contact your representatives and senators and ask them to support the CARTER Act. And don't forget to sign the petition for the censure of Mr. Carter. I'm not taking "no" for an answer; neither should you.

Jimmah And Hamas, Sitting In A Tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!

You couldn't make this shit up if you tried...

A group of more than 50 congressmen from both sides of the aisle have sent a letter beseeching former president Jimmy Carter not to meet with Khaled Meshal, the head of the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas.

The letter, sponsored by Reps. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., and Shelley Berkeley, D-Nev., and signed by congressional leaders including House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, and veteran representative Barney Frank, D-Mass., lists the 26 Americans who have been killed in terrorist attacks launched by Hamas.

"President Carter, do not meet with the man who ordered their deaths," wrote the congressmen.

Carter reportedly hugged — and kissed — a Hamas leader Tuesday in the West Bank town of Ramallah on a Mideast visit that is to culminate in a meeting Friday with the group's exiled leader in Damascus, Syria.

Carter's embrace of Nasser Shaer, a senior Hamas politician, at a closed-door reception organized by Carter's office was reported by several news outlets Tuesday. Carter has been widely criticized over the trip by both U.S. and Israeli officials, who have listed Hamas as a terror organization.

Carter also laid a wreath at the grave of Yasser Arafat, whom he praised as a man who fought for "just causes" in the world. The Bush administration and many Israelis blame Arafat for the breakdown of peace talks seven years ago and the violence that followed.

Yeah, that's what immediately leaps to mind when I think of Arafat..."just causes." Like driving Israel into the sea. Like living off the backs of the Palestinian people to become a billionaire Parisian. Like ordering the assassination of United States diplomats.

Carter. Is. An. Idiot. He is a disgrace to this nation.

I contacted both of my Senators today, Jim DeMint and Lindsey Graham (aka McCain's Lapdog) to request that they introduce a Resolution of Censure against former President Jimmy Carter. You can contact your Senators here. You can sign a petition to censure Jimmy the Dhimmi here.

Thousdands Of Palestinians Agree: Israel Is The Place They'd Rather Be

Thousands Of Palestinians Apply For Israeli Citizenship

The 240,000 non-naturalized Palestinians in the city currently hold the status of permanent residents. As Palestinian residents of East Jerusalem they were also eligible to participate in the elections held by the Palestinian Authority.

As accepting Israeli citizenship was viewed by many within the community as tantamount to treason, most Palestinians opted to remain permanent residents and enjoy the benefits of living under Israeli sovereignty – full welfare rights, municipal voting rights and unrestricted movement - without putting their loyalty to the Palestinian Authority into question. The average Palestinian family in East Jerusalem currently receives a $770 monthly stipend from Israel.

"They've weighed the pros and cons of life under the Palestinian Authority and those under Israel and they've chosen," said residents in East Jerusalem of their naturalization-seeking neighbors.

33-year-old Samar Qassam said his motivation to apply for Israeli citizenship was to seek a better future for his family. Along with his wife and son, Qassam once lived in the Old City but recently moved to Beit Safafa, an Arab village south of Jerusalem.

"...I just want a better future..." Mr. Qassam said; and he knows which country will give him one, and it's name doesn't start with "P" and end in "alestine".

Suspect Syrian Site Before & After

Photos Show Cleansing Of Suspect Syrian Site

New commercial satellite photos show that a Syrian site believed to have been attacked by Israel last month no longer bears any obvious traces of what some analysts said appeared to have been a partly built nuclear reactor.

Two photos, taken Wednesday from space by rival companies, show the site near the Euphrates River to have been wiped clean since August, when imagery showed a tall square building there measuring about 150 feet on a side.

The Syrians reported an attack by Israel in early September; the Israelis have not confirmed that. Senior Syrian officials continue to deny that a nuclear reactor was under construction, insisting that Israel hit a largely empty military warehouse.

But the images, federal and private analysts say, suggest that the Syrian authorities rushed to dismantle the facility after the strike, calling it a tacit admission of guilt.

Awesome! Seriously, how do we get them to do the same thing in Iran?

Nice Shooting Boys!

Israel Struck Syrian Nuclear Project, Analysts Say

Israel’s air attack on Syria last month was directed against a site that Israeli and American intelligence analysts judged was a partly constructed nuclear reactor, apparently modeled on one North Korea has used to create its stockpile of nuclear weapons fuel, according to American and foreign officials with access to the intelligence reports.

It's nice to know there's at least one nation who'll do what's needed to curb its (and our) enemies. Since the United States government doesn't seem to be up to the task, I wonder if the Israeli air force can reach Iran?

Footballer Furor

Iranian-Born German Soccer Star Boycotts Israel Game

The tensions in the Middle East seem to have influenced the decision of Iranian-born German international soccer player Ashkan Dejagah's decision not to travel with the national Under-21 squad for a match in Israel.

Dejagah, who plays for Bundesliga club VfB Wolfsburg, asked his national team managers to withdraw him from Germany's European Championship qualifier against Israel, to be played in Tel Aviv on Friday, citing "personal reasons."

"He came to us citing personal reasons that seemed very plausible," DFB spokesman Jens Grittner said in a statement.

Dejagah was quoted by mass-circulation tabloid daily Bild as saying his motive was cultural.

"I have more Iranian than German blood in my veins," he said in a report published Tuesday. "That should be respected, and besides I'm doing this out of respect. My parents are Iranian."

Dejagah was born in Tehran, but later moved with his parents to Germany. He holds a German passport.

And creeping dhimmitude takes another step in Eurabia... Imagine the uproar if an Israeli refused to play against Germany or Iran. If Dejagah is being paid to play he should be fired. If this is a national team, like for the Olympics, he should be banned from all games the German National team plays. Or better yet, he should move back to Iran, a place where he obviously would feel more comfortable.
