TO OUR DEAR PRES HUSSEIN OBAMA

Obama Part II   By: Donny Fuchs  /  April 30th, 2015 

Last summer, I penned an article about a man I truly hate to read about, write about, or to even look at his visage; President Barack Obama, who will go down in history as one of the Jewish people’s greatest enemies. Not only has Obama’s radical agenda and incompetence distinguished himself as arguably the worst U.S. President in history (not an easy task), but his relentless efforts to strangle Israel earns him a spot on the Mount Rushmore of “Most Anti-Semitic Presidents”. In light of recent events involving Iran which defy sane explanation, it’s time to revisit this malignant personality.

Obama’s persistent efforts to broker a “treaty” with Iran virtually ensures that they will obtain nuclear weapons. That is, unless Israel works up the resolve to preemptively strike them, and Obama’s regime doesn’t compromise their ability to do so. Clearly he was tempering his words, yet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu erred when he reflected that “a better deal is needed” in order to stop the Iranians. He knows that there isn’t a deal under the sun that would ever stop these mad jihadists. Neither the threat of sanctions, nor their implementation impresses Iran. The only tool for taming them is the military option. Fire and smoke, and the charred remains of Iran’s entire nuclear infrastructure. Iran needs to bleed. Because as long as they breathe, they will live to murder Jews and destroy Israel.

Most liberals are unable to see obvious truths. Neville Chamberlain suffered from a similar malady, an inability or unwillingness to see the world for what it is, and not clouded by the fantasy of their utopian ideals. For such individuals, one needs to state things outright: Obama’s mad desire to see nuclear proliferation among the Islamic/Arab world, not onlyjeopardizes the lives of millions of Jews in Israel, but also presents anuclear nightmare for America. The only logical conclusion is that it is deliberate.

Nuclear Weapons Don’t Launch Themselves

Liberals generally oppose nuclear weapons on purported moral grounds with the refrain that “no one should have them”. Whether or not one likes the existence of such weapons, the fact remains that they do exist, and one would think that the desire to keep such weapons out of Iran’s hands would be obvious. Yet too many liberals see a moral equivalency between the U.S. and Israel, and a repressive Iran seeking such weapons, despite their repeated calls for Israel’s destruction. Over the years, liberals have used the examples of the former Soviet Union and other nuclear armed communist countries, as proof that the nuclear danger is minimized when two sides are similarly armed. As they see it, Iran would never attack Israel because of the likely counter response which would kill many Iranians.

To be sure, the sociopaths of communist societies were (and are) no girl scouts, yet liberals fail to comprehend a fundamental difference between communist countries and Islamic terrorists. (This in no way minimizes the danger of nuclear communist regimes):

• The U.S. had a stalemate with the Soviets during the tensest periods of the Cold War. Unpleasant and frightening, but a legitimate stalemate. Communists don’t believe in the human soul. As such, they are never really eager to blow themselves up, no matter how staunchly committed they are to Marx’s ramblings. The Iranian Shiites and their demented mullahs are an entirely different animal. They are more than capable of detonating themselves or ensuring a nuclear counter response, if it means that millions of Jews will turn into nuclear ash, Heaven forbid.

• Islamic countries have no regard for the lives of their own citizens, and they will readily take a counter hit that consumes a million of their own populace. While communists have proven that human life means little to them as well, they would be reticent to take a massive nuclear hit on their own soil. Again, this relates to the pervasive Islamic death ethos of jihad, which differs from communist ideology.

Barack Obama: He Is Who He Was

Many identify Obama as a Muslim. As I’ve stated before, I reject the notion that Obama recognizes any creator, not even the pagan blood drinking “creator” of Islam. While Obama grew up with Islam and later in life turned to Christianity, I believe that his true religion remains communism. His mastery and affinity for Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” is well known. Obama’s ego and desire for power, represents the ultimate atheist expression of self-deification. To understand Obama is to understand that even as his beliefs morphed over the years, his continued associations and friendships with blatant racists, communists, domestic terrorists, and violent Islamists provide a window into his personality which has never changed.

So who is the real Barack Obama? 

• Obama is an anti-American communist. His crippling economic policies damaged the American economy with endless taxation and unprecedented federal interference. Obamacare destroyed American healthcare and ensures proper health care for no one but the elites.
• Obama’s anarchist tendencies sees nobility in the savage ethic of the third world. He turned a porous Mexican border into a sieve which allows gangsters, drug dealers, and even Islamic terrorists into America, with the promise of a soon to be obtained amnesty. Domestically, Obama identifies with those who sow racial conflict and inflame criminals to riot. Yet he demonizes those who are tasked with protecting the people.
• Obama is a moral relativist who trampled upon the moral fabric of society, by waging a war against traditional marriage.
• Obama’s appeasement has weakened America’s ability to defend itself from Islamic terror and created a nightmare for American citizens. He has armed, aided, and abetted Islamic jihadists, to the point that Americans were murdered because of his policies. His appeasement of Iran endangers Israel.
• Obama tramples upon the Constitution and undermines the other branches of government. The fathers of the Constitution foresaw that the separation of powers were necessary to prevent a tyrant like Obama from seizing illegal powers. Unfortunately, the other branches of government today are run by timid people who will not combat Obama because of their diluted values, fear of taking provocative action, and the general malaise of the defeated personality. Those who speak of impeachment fail to comprehend the extent of Obama’s damaging domestic and foreign policy, which can easily be described as treason. The shoe not only fits, but it fits very well.
• Obama is a totalitarian who hates liberty, free will, the Constitution, and capitalism. Obama resents the American police and the U.S. military. He opposes the right of moral man to wield a gun to defend his family, yet apologizes for mobs who riot in the streets, and those who wield the sword of Islam, decapitating, castrating, burning, and crucifying thousands of innocents.
• Barack Obama is an anti-Semite. On one level, Obama sees Israel and “Zionism” as an arm of American imperialism. Yet his main problem with Israel is his hatred of Jews. A modern State of Jews is intolerable to him. Liberal Jews scoff at this notion, yet they cannot explain Obama’s willingness to befriend and speak with the mad mullahs of Iran, Fatah’s Mahmoud Abbas, a cadre of communist dictators, the same collection of domestic race baiting charlatans, while repeatedly shunning, undermining, insulting, threatening, the Prime Minister of Israel, and by extension, harming the people of Israel. In an unprecedented effort of interference that the American media chose to ignore, Obama tried unsuccessfully to effect Israeli elections by unseating Netanyahu. And when Netanyahu decided to articulate Iran’s “Final Solution” to the entire world in front of Congress, an enraged vindictive Obama declared total war against Israel. Obama is too polished and clever to articulate his anti-Jewish positions outright. Yet his actions expose him.

Obama’s friendship with his self-described mentor, the racist, demagogue Reverend Wright was the red flag liberal Jews chose to ignore. They were giddy with the prospect of a liberal black president. They chose skin color rather than character. Today Israel faces the real threat of a nuclear Iran, thanks in part to American Jewry.

Obama’s policies towards Israel are surely bringing a smile to his former reverend’s face. (I don’t buy the claim that Obama has nothing to do with Wright anymore. After those infamous YouTube videos went viral, political expediency demanded that Obama publicly dissociate himself from him.) Obama wants Israel to lay down its arms and allow a militarized “Palestine” run by Fatah butchers to terrorize our heartland. He demands that Israel immediately expel hundreds of thousands of Jews from the liberated zones, and returns to Abba Eban’s “Auschwitz Borders” of pre-1967. Obama wants to weaken Israel’s military supremacy in a sea of hostile enemies, and he views nuclear proliferation among our Arab enemies as the key to breaking Israel’s spine.

As I see it, despite his Godlessness, there are several reasons Barack Obama reveres Islam:

• Fondness and feeling of nostalgia for his Islamic upbringing
• His shared hatred of America and Israel.
• His shared hatred for Jews and Judaism.

When one views Obama’s sordid past (to the extent that we can), it is frightening to think that such an individual twice attained American’s highest office. Tragically, his ability to do so reflects the state of affairs in the United States, where liberal media and academia helped create a society of fools and moral relativists. And while liberalism runs rampant damaging every vestige of American values, the weakling republicans in power (devoid of any true conservative ideals), are hamstrung by the parameters of political correctness.

Thanks to a handful of courageous pundits, action groups, and conservative think tanks, we know that the Muslim Brotherhoodhas penetrated the echelons of U.S. federal government, courtesy of Obama’s deliberate compromising of America’s security. Obama endangered America in a way that would have never been deemed unimaginable. Barack “Hussein” Obama is a traitor to America. Again I reference the Torah for the righteous non-Jews of America who value their country. “I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you.” If you love America, then the fate of America is intrinsically tied with how you respond to the dangers facing the Jewish people. Israel will ultimately survive, such is G-d’s promise to the Jewish people. Others have arisen before him, and we Jews will be around long after he turns to dust. But will America survive?

Hakarat Hatov (appreciation for good deeds) is a fundamental trait that should be a part of the Jew’s moral framework. As a religious Jew who immigrated to Israel out of a Torah based conviction that all Jews should do likewise, I nevertheless appreciate that America was a haven for Jews, after two thousand years of death while living in repressive Christian lands. The model of European hatred could have easily been replicated in America, had not the founding fathers been made of finer stock. Certainly America is not without its problems, but over time the process has been a positive one, where Jew and gentile alike, and all ethnicities, cultures, etc. have been allowed to prosper free of oppression. (There is no slavery or segregation today in America, despite the attempts of race-baiters to portray the U.S. today as the Reconstructionist South.) Nor is the expression of governance in America the Torah ideal. From a Torah perspective, the ideal moral framework for non-Jews remains the Noahide-Covenant. Nevertheless, the perfection of man and society is not one that occurs overnight. America remains a bastion of decency in a world of evil nations, and it deserves to prosper and evolve to a higher society.

And yet in the midst of the Obama pandemic, there is another threat. While one venomous snake slithers about, biting everything decent, another one waits in the grass. After eight long years of Obama’s destruction, America would never recover from “President Hillary Clinton”, G-d help us. Both of these individuals embody the worst elements of the hypocritical, pompous, morally bankrupt American left. In words and in deeds they are enemies of G-d, committed to destroying everything decent and moral. If good Americans don’t wake up, America will become a modern day Sodom, where depravity prevails, and violence, both the homegrown variety and Islamic version, run amuck.

A final word to those frustrating liberal Jews:

At what point will you open your eyes and see Obama’s true face?When will you recognize that your support for a black bigot is the same as supporting the white equivalent? It doesn’t make you noble or enlightened. It makes you morally inconsistent, and renders you culpable for Obama’s crimes, which include the spilling of innocent blood. ISIS’s strength is a direct reflection of Obama’s impotent foreign policy.

Fellow Jews, we have seen the likes of Barack Obama before. He is merely the latest incarnation of our ancient enemies who arise in each generation with a different face. And he too, will disappear in time. Yet at this critical juncture, Jew and gentile alike need to absorb the following point which exposes Obama’s true self: No normal man breaks bread with the murderous Iranian defectives. And one who chooses to do so, exposes that he would have alsobroken bread with Hitler.

Barack Hussein Obama: a man with the spine of Neville Chamberlain and the heart of an evil Pharaoh. May we see his swift downfall, and witness the total destruction of the Iranian regime and their genocidal machinations.

PRES HUSSEIN OBAMA DENIES THE CHRISTIAN GENOCIDE OF TODAY AND OF 100 YEARS AGO

HUSSEIN OBAMA DENIES THE CHRISTIAN GENOCIDE OF TODAY AND OF 100 YEARS AGO       

Apr. 24, 2015

Raymond Ibrahim

RaymondIbrahim is author of the new book Crucified Again: Exposing Islam's New War on Christians (Regnery Publishing 2013). A Middle East and Islam specialist, he is a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center and an associate fellow at the Middle East Forum. Ibrahim’s dual-background—born and raised in the U.S. by Coptic Egyptian parents born and raised in the Middle East—has provided him with unique advantages, from equal fluency in English and Arabic, to an equal understanding of the Western and Middle Eastern mindsets, positioning him to explain the latter to the former.  As the world continues to look on in dismay at the barbaric atrocities committed against Christian minorities by the Islamic State—the self-proclaimed new “caliphate”— April 24 marks the genocide of Armenian and other Christian minorities by Turkey’s Islamic Ottoman Empire, the last caliphate.

Most American historians who have examined the question agree that what the Armenians experienced was a deliberate, calculated genocide:  More than one million Armenians perished as the result of execution, starvation, disease, the harsh environment, and physical abuse. A people who lived in eastern Turkey for nearly 3,000 years [that is, 2,500 years before the Islamic Turks invaded and occupied Anatolia, now known as “Turkey”] lost its homeland and was profoundly decimated in the first large-scale genocide of the twentieth century. At the beginning of 1915 there were some two million Armenians within Turkey; today there are fewer than 60,000.

Almost an entire ethnic group was eradicated. If early 20th century Turkey had the apparatuses and technology to execute in mass—such as 1940s Germany’s gas chambers—the entire Armenian population could well have been annihilated.  The atrocities suffered by Armenian and other Christian minorities are too long to list. As occurs under the current caliphate—the Islamic State—the Muslims of the Ottoman caliphate abducted, raped, and slaughtered or sold countless Christian women and children on the Muslim slave markets.  Armenian Christians were also sadistically tortured—as Christians are today under the Islamic State. On FrontPage Magazine, Lloyd Billingsley writes:

Torture squads would apply red-hot irons, tear off flesh with hot pincers, then pour boiled butter into the wounds. The soles of the feet would be beaten, slashed, and laced with salt. Dr. Mehmed Reshid tortured Armenians by nailing horseshoes to their feet and marching them through the streets. He also crucified them on makeshift crosses.  The Muslims hacked Armenians to pieces and dashed infants on the rocks before their mothers. They burned bodies not for sanitary reasons but in search of gold coins they believed the Armenians had swallowed. The Muslims also tore apart the victims’ feces in the search for gold. U.S. consul Leslie Davis, a former attorney and journalist, documented the Islamic zeal.

“We could all hear them piously calling upon Allah to bless them in their efforts to kill the hated Christians,” Davis wrote. “Night after night this same chant went up to heaven and day after day these Turks carried on their bloody work.” Around Lake Goeljik, Davis wrote, “thousands and thousands of Armenians, mostly innocent and helpless women and children, were butchered on its shores and barbarously mutilated.”

In her memoir, Ravished Armenia, Aurora Mardiganian described being raped and thrown into a harem—akin to the experiences of today’s non-Muslims under Islamic State authority. Unlike thousands of other Armenian girls who were killed after being defiled, she managed to escape. She recalls seeing 16 Christian girls crucified in Malatia: “Each girl had been nailed alive upon her cross, spikes through her feet and hands, only their hair blown by the wind, covered their bodies.”

Because there is no dearth of evidence concerning the historical reality of the Armenian Genocide, 44 U.S. States have recognized it. South Dakota, which recently joined the list, passed a resolution in February 2015 calling on  Congress and the president of the United States to formally and consistently recognize and reaffirm the historical truth that the atrocities committed against the Armenian, Greek, and other Christians living in their historical homelands in Anatolia constituted genocide and to work towards equitable, stable, and durable Armenian-Turkish relations.

Turkey, of course, continues to deny that its forbears ever committed any genocide. As a group of American academics wrote back in 1995:  Despite the vast amount of evidence that points to the historical reality of the Armenian Genocide—eyewitness accounts, official archives, photographic evidence, the reports of diplomats, and the testimony of survivors—denial of the Armenian Genocide by successive regimes in Turkey has gone on from 1915 to the present.  Nor is the Islamic government of Turkey alone in denying the genocide. President Obama still refuses to acknowledge it—even though when he was running for office in 2008 he professed his firmly held conviction that the Armenian Genocide is not an allegation, a personal opinion, or a point of view, but rather a widely documented fact supported by an overwhelming body of historical evidence. The facts are undeniable…. [A]s President I will recognize the Armenian Genocide…. America deserves a leader who speaks truthfully about the Armenian Genocide and responds forcefully to all genocides. I intend to be that president.  Since taking office, Obama has refused to stand by his word. On April 21, the White House announced that it would again, for the seventh year since Obama’s pledge, not use the word “genocide,” thereby disappointing many human rights activists.

Writes the New York Times:

The president’s continued resistance to the word stood in contrast to a stance by Pope Francis, who recently called the massacres “the first genocide of the 20th century” and equated them to mass killings by the Nazis and Soviets. The European Parliament, which first recognized the genocide in 1987, passed a resolution last week calling on Turkey to “come to terms with its past.”  The Armenian National Committee of America responded by saying “The president’s surrender represents a national disgrace. It is a betrayal of the truth, and it is a betrayal of trust.” The Armenian Assembly of America said “His failure to use the term genocide represents a major blow for human rights advocates.”  But the president’s actions are consistent in other ways. Put differently, it is no marvel that Obama denies the genocide of Armenian and other Christian minorities at the hands of Muslims from a century ago, when one considers that he denies the rampant Muslim persecution of Christians taking place under—and often because of—his leadership today.

For 7th year in a row, Obama breaks promise to acknowledge Armenian genocide

For 7th year in a row, Obama breaks promise to acknowledge Armenian genocide

By Jake Tapper, CNN / Updated 1:56 PM ET, Fri April 24, 2015

Washington (CNN)This week is the 100th anniversary of what many historians acknowledge as the Armenian genocide -- the Turkish massacre of an estimated 1.5 million Armenians  And it's also the seventh year in a row President Barack Obama has broken his promise to use the word "genocide" to describe the atrocity.  It's a moral position taken by Pope Francis, actor George Clooney and even by the Kardashians.

On the 2008 campaign trail, Obama promised to use the word "genocide" to describe the 1915 massacre by Turks of Armenians -- a pledge he made when seeking Armenian-American votes.  Back then, he held up his willingness to call it a "genocide" as an example of why he was the kind of truth-telling candidate the nation needed.

In 2006, after the U.S. Ambassador to Armenia was asked to resign for using the term Armenian genocide, then-Sen. Obama hammered the Bush administration for not taking a stand.  "The Armenian genocide is not an allegation, a personal opinion, or a point of view, but rather a widely documented fact supported by an overwhelming body of historical evidence," he said.  But that was then.

And now, as was the case with Bush, Obama regards Turkey -- the only Muslim majority country in NATO -- as a more crucial ally than Armenia. Turkey has the second-largest military in NATO, behind only the U.S., and is a crucial ally when it comes to Syria, ISIS, Iran and other Middle East issues.  And Turkey denies this history.  "We cannot define what happened in 1915 as a genocide," Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu told CNN on Tuesday.

Why Turkey won't say the G-word when it comes to the Armenians? In her Pulitzer Prize-winning book about genocide, Obama's current Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power hammered U.S. policy makers for not acknowledging or acting to stop such atrocities.  "No U.S. president has ever made genocide prevention a priority, and no U.S. president has ever suffered politically for his indifference to its occurrence. It is thus no coincidence that genocide rages on," she wrote.

THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT THE MASS KILLINGS OF ARMENIANS 100 YEARS AGO

THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT THE MASS KILLINGS OF ARMENIANS 100 YEARS AGO

By Don Melvin, CNN / Updated 11:15 AM ET, Thu April 23, 2015

(CNN) The mass killings of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire, which began 100 years ago Friday, is said by some scholars and others to have been the first genocide of the 20th century, even though the word "genocide" did not exist at the time.  The issue of whether to call the killings a genocide is emotional, both for Armenians, who are descended from those killed, and for Turks, the heirs to the Ottomans. For both groups, the question touches as much on national identity as on historical facts.  Some Armenians feel their nationhood cannot be fully recognized unless the truth of what happened to their forebears is acknowledged. Some Turks still view the Armenians as having been a threat to the Ottoman Empire in a time of war, and say many people of various ethnicities -- including Turks -- were killed in the chaos of war. 

In addition, some Turkish leaders fear that acknowledgment of a genocide could lead to demands for huge reparations.  What preceded the mass killings of Armenians that began 100 years ago?  The Ottoman Turks, having recently entered World War I on the side of Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, were worried that Armenians living in the Ottoman Empire would offer wartime assistance to Russia. Russia had long coveted control of Constantinople (now Istanbul), which controlled access to the Black Sea -- and therefore access to Russia's only year-round seaports.

How many Armenians lived in the Ottoman Empire at the start of the mass killings?  Many historians agree that the number was about 2 million. However, victims of the mass killings also included some of the 1.8 million Armenians living in the Caucasus under Russian rule, some of whom were massacred by Ottoman forces in 1918 as they marched through East Armenia and Azerbaijan.

How did the mass killings start?  By 1914, Ottoman authorities were already portraying Armenians as a threat to the empire's security. Then, on the night of April 23-24, 1915, the authorities in Constantinople, the empire's capital, rounded up about 250 Armenian intellectuals and community leaders. Many of them ended up deported or assassinated.  April 24, known as Red Sunday, is commemorated as Genocide Remembrance Day by Armenians around the world. Friday is the 100th anniversary of that day.

How many Armenians were killed?

This is a major point of contention. Estimates range from 300,000 to 2 million deaths between 1914 and 1923, with not all of the victims in the Ottoman Empire. But most estimates -- including one of 800,000 between 1915 and 1918, made by Ottoman authorities themselves -- fall between 600,000 and 1.5 million.

Whether due to killings or forced deportation, the number of Armenians living in Turkey fell from 2 million in 1914 to under 400,000 by 1922.

How did they die? Almost any way one can imagine.  While the death toll is in dispute, photographs from the era document some mass killings. Some show Ottoman soldiers posing with severed heads, others with them standing amid skulls in the dirt.  The victims are reported to have died in mass burnings and by drowning, torture, gas, poison, disease and starvation. Children were reported to have been loaded into boats, taken out to sea and thrown overboard. Rape, too, was frequently reported. In addition, according to the website armenian-genocide.org, "The great bulk of the Armenian population was forcibly removed from Armenia and Anatolia to Syria, where the vast majority was sent into the desert to die of thirst and hunger."

Was genocide a crime at the time of the killings?

No. Genocide was not even a word at the time, much less a legally defined crime.

The word "genocide" was invented in 1944 by a Polish lawyer named Raphael Lemkin to describe the Nazis' systematic attempt to eradicate Jews from Europe. He formed the word by combining the Greek word for race with the Latin word for killing.  Genocide became a crime in 1948, when the United Nations approved the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. The definition included acts meant "to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group."

Who calls the mass killings of Armenians a genocide?  Armenia, the Vatican, the European Parliament, France, Israel, Russia and Canada. Germany is expected to join that group on Friday, the 100th anniversary of the start of the killings.

Who does not call the mass killings a genocide?

Turkey, the United States (Pres Hussein Obama), the European Commission, the United Kingdom and the United Nations.  A U.N. subcommittee called the killings genocide in 1985, but current U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon declines to use the word.  Also, a year ago, on the eve of the 99th anniversary of Red Sunday, then-Turkish Prime Minister (now-President) Recep Tayyip Erdogan offered condolences for the mass killings, which he said had "inhumane consequences." While Turkey vehemently continues to reject the word "genocide," his remarks went further than those of any previous Turkish leader in acknowledging the suffering of Armenians.

IDF training to retake Gaza in possible future round with Hamas

TODAY MARKS THE 70th ANNIVERSARY OF THE LIBERATION OF DACHAU

IDF training to retake Gazain future round with Hamas

Eight months after conflict, Islamic group again digging terror tunnels, developing Iran-funded advanced missiles and drones

BY ELHANAN MILLER April 29, 2015, 6:05 am

Assessing that Hamas will continue to rule the Gaza Strip for the foreseeable future, the IDF is training for the possible reconquering of the entire coastal Palestinian territory in a future confrontation with the Islamic organization, the Times of Israel has learned.  Despite the harsh blow Hamas and Islamic Jihad sustained in Operation Protective Edge last July and August, Israel’s military command is convinced that another round of fighting between Israel and Gaza is only a matter of time.  The Israeli leadership sees no prospect of the Palestinian Authority gaining control of the Strip, as it continues to demand, and would prefer to face a weakened Hamas than the anarchy of unruly organizations, some of which harbor extremist Islamist ideologies.  Hamas and Islamic Jihad lost 1,000 combatants in the 50 days of fighting with Israel, including many low- and mid-ranking commanders. The remaining 1,100 Palestinian fatalities in the war are believed to be innocent civilians caught in the line of fire.

Hamas had wanted to take Israel by surprise at the outset of last summer’s operation by planning to launch a massive terror attack on an Israeli community near the Kerem Shalom crossing through a tunnel dug beneath the border. The organization’s political leadership decided to postpone the attack, however, allowing Israel to strike first. That decision has bred a lasting crisis of faith between Hamas’s military wing — which pushed for decisive action — and the more cautious political branch.

The rift between the two branches manifests itself in their preference of regional allies. While the military wing, headed by Muhammad Deif, opts for closer ties with Iran (which continues to fund it to the tune of millions of dollars in cash smuggled from Egypt), the political wing, led by Khaled Mashaal in Qatar, is vying for rapprochement with Saudi Arabia and Egypt.  Deif, who has survived numerous Israeli assassination attempts, continues to command Hamas’s Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades on both the strategic and tactical levels. Marwan Issa, a top commander of the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, is emerging as one of the most powerful men in Hamas’s leadership, serving as intermediary between the political and military branches.  Meanwhile, eight months after the ceasefire, Hamas has resumed tunnel digging in full force, employing over 1,000 diggers working in three shifts six days a week. The materials used for the tunnels include concrete bought on the black market, as well as wood and hard plastic.

In addition, it is training elite marine and ground forces, known in Arabic as Nukhba, and developing new drones and long-range missiles funded by Tehran.  On the Egyptian front, Hamas is helping to train offensive forces in the Sinai Peninsula to carry out coordinated attacks against Israel. While supplying arms and medical assistance to Islamic State operatives in the Sinai, Hamas strictly adheres to the ceasefire with Israel in Gaza, preventing rocket launches with forces deployed along the border. Quoting a senior Egyptian security source, Palestinian Ma’an news agency reported on Tuesday that Egypt has begun to take more robust measures to prevent the digging of new tunnels from Gaza into Sinai, pumping water underground using 50 machines to flood the tunnels and cause them to collapse. Egypt is also expanding the current no-go buffer zone along its 13-kilometer (8-mile) border with Gaza from one kilometer to five. Within months, Egypt plans to dig a water canal from the Mediterranean to the southern tip of the Gaza Strip, hoping to eradicate underground tunnels once and for all.

ISRAELIS WATCHING THE BOMBING OF GAZA
BETTER THAN CNN!!!

According to Ma’an, Israel has also allowed Egypt to introduce heavy artillery and F-16 fighter jets into Sinai in its war on local terror cells, for the first time since the signing of the Camp David Peace Accords in 1979.    Israel understands that the key to lasting calm in Gaza lies with the combination of effective military deterrence and relative economic prosperity. With the Egyptian border closed indefinitely to Gaza, the impoverished, devastated Strip grows increasingly dependent on Israel for its sustenance.  The new Israeli government will soon be requested to allow in hundreds of day laborers from Gaza, for the first time in years, augmenting the recent license given for the export of agricultural produce.

In August 2005, the Israeli army carried out the Cabinet's decision and forcibly removed the 8,600 residents of Gush Katif from their homes. Their communities were demolished as part of Israel's unilateral disengagement from the Gaza Strip.

IT IS A SHAME FOR ISRAEL THAT YIZTAK RABIN GAVE IT BACK IN ACCORDANCE TO THE SHAMEFUL OSLO ACCORDS OF 1993 (RABIN) AND THE DISENGAGEMENT OF 2005 (SHARON) ...BUT WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM AN ATHEIST WHO DID NOT HAVE ANY RELIGIOUS BELIEFS AND GAVE AWAY WHAT IT CAN NEVER BE GIVEN AWAY... BECAUSE IT IS THE L-RD'S GIFT TO THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL...AND THE WRATHFUL HAND OF THE L-RD OF ISRAEL STRUCK THEM BOTH: ONE BY ASSASSINATION BY HIS OWN BRETHREN AND THE OTHER BY ILLNESS AND INCAPACITATION.  THE IRONY IS THAT BOTH OF THIS PERSONS WERE MAGNIFICENT SOLDIERS AND ARCHITECT OF I.D.F. MILITARY VICTORIES THROUGHOUT THE YEARS...HOW COULD THEY-WHO KNEW BETTER THAN MANY-THE PRICE OF JEWISH BLOOD IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE SOIL OF ISRAEL?  

RABIN, TRAITOR TO HIS G-D AND HIS TORAH

RABIN, TRAITOR TO THE JEWISH STATE OF ISRAEL

RABIN, TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE

RABIN, TRAITOR TO THE MEMORY OF THE DEAD

             SOLDIERS OF ISRAEL
SHARON,  TRAITOR TO SETTLERS OF GUSH KATIF

KACH FOREVER!!!
