Shimon Peres

It isn’t very often that you will find yours truly supporting the work of Israeli President Shimon Peres, but when he is right on, he is “right on”…

No public figure in Israel represents the desire for peace with the palestinians more than Shimon Peres. He is the architect of the awefull “peace” agreements, like Oslo, and has supported the incessant retreat of Israel before her foes, as well as abandonment of flourishing Jewish communities…all in the interest of his pursuit for peace with the palestinians, his “New Middle East”, which has turned out to be just lots more of the same “Old”, hateful Middle East…

Even Peres supports Israel’s legal naval blockade of Gaza and offers the simple formula for its removal…

“Would Gaza leaders denounce terror, stop building tunnels, shooting missiles, release Gilad Shalit, there would be no need for any sort of closure or blockade”

Well said, President Peres…

‘No need for flotillas if Gaza turns to peace’

President Shimon Peres on Sunday urged Hamas to abandon the path of terror and said that if it were to do so, there would be no need for a blockade on the Gaza Strip.

“If Gaza would turn to peace, she would have peace and there would be no need for flotillas,” the president said at the start of the annual Jewish Agency assembly in Jerusalem.

“We withdrew from Gaza entirely and no Israeli was left in the Gaza Strip,” he said.

“We did not understand then, nor do we understand now, why after evacuating Gaza, the rulers of Gaza started to fire thousands of missiles against civilian life in Israel. For what reason? For what purpose?” the president wondered.

“The question remains unanswered today,” he continued, “Would Gaza agree to peace, to negotiations instead? Would Gaza leaders denounce terror, stop the building of tunnels and shooting missiles, stop attempting to kidnap Israeli soldiers and release Gilad Shalit who was abducted on Israeli territory, there would be no need for any sort of closure or blockade.”

Peres said attempts have been made recently to de-legitimize Israel. ” De-legitimizing Israel means to legitimize, directly or indirectly, the lawless organization like al-Qaeda, Hamas and Hezbollah and their overt and covert supporters, dictatorial regimes who kill and arrest their own people without count, without human respect.”

Peres added, “Maybe some of us feel lonely, more than ever… But the truth is that we are not alone. I believe that President Obama says and means that Israel’s security is America’s top priority.

“I believe that Europe with its own experience and in its wisdom will turn to the people of Gaza and the West Bank and tell them that peace depends on them negotiating and is better than shooting.”

‘Use more leverage against Hamas’

Welfare and Social Services Minister Isaac Herzog, ahead of the weekly cabinet meeting, also commented on the flotillas planning to sail to the Strip. “The flotillas approaching Gaza should be directed to Ashdod and explain to the world that Israel has changed its policy on the entrance of civilian goods to the Strip and there is therefore no need for these flotillas,” he said.

“The decision by European Union foreign minister gave Israel grounds for its stance and recognized the security interest of preventing smugglings,” he added.

Herzog further claimed that the time has come “to apply additional leverage against Hamas,” and called for harsher treatment of Hamas prisoners. He said the matter of Gilad Shalit warrants harsher terms for the organization’s criminals.

“Israel is an enlightened country with the law as its guiding principle. There are enough things that can be done and I am saying this as someone who comes from the peace camp.”

Tourism Minister Stas Misezhnikov addressed the flotilla issue with a firmer tone, “It doesn’t matter if they are women, men or pets. These are enemy states and they should be treated as a real threat.”

He said, “We must not allow these flotillas to reach Gaza, both in light of the siege and in light of the timing. We stopped the previous flotillas, and we must not allow this one to come. Furthermore, there is a flotilla coming from Iran, and, contrary to Turkey, where they were ‘peace activists’, this is an enemy state. Even the ship from Lebanon, certainly belongs to Hezbollah. We will use all force necessary with the smallest number of casualties.”

Please, Don’t confuse me with the facts…

New Show/Podcast!!!

The inevitable confrontation between the Israeli Navy and the so-called “Humanitarian Aid” flotilla of ships on the way to Gaza should take place tomorrow, on the Sabbath. It might be worth your while to understand just what Israel’s maritime blockade is all about before listening to all the media condemnations of Israel’s policy. It just might have something to do with the fact that Gaza is currently under the control of the terrorist organization, Hamas. Israel is currently engaged in an armed conflict with Hamas.

Oh, and by the way, there IS NO humanitarian crisis taking place in Gaza…thanks to Israel. Be brave enough to listen to the facts, presented right here…Plus…Protests against Disney’s crowning of a Jew as Hollywood’s next “Prince of Persia”…

This is what the world is calling “Israel’s blockade” of Gaza…Some blockade…Once again, what you see in the media has no connection whatsoever with reality…

IDF Spokesperson & CoGAT Update: Weekly Summary of Humanitarian Aid Transferred into the Gaza Strip

Weekly Summary of Humanitarian Aid Transferred into the Gaza Strip

Reprinted from IMRA

Over the last week, a total of 595 truckloads, consisting of 13, 976 tons of
humanitarian aid were transferred into the Gaza Strip from Israel via the
various crossings. Likewise, ten truckloads of carnations were exported from
Gaza to Europe.

Additionally, 255 medical patients and accompanying individuals from the
Gaza Strip crossed into Israel and the Judea and Samaria region for medical
treatment. 222 staff members of international organizations crossed into the
Gaza Strip.

Essential food and humanitarian aid products, including milk powder, baby
food, rice, cooking oil, flour, hygiene products and medicals supplies
including a CT scanner were among the goods that crossed into Gaza this past
week.

Lastly, 1,216,297 liters of diesel fuel and 992 tons of cooking gas also
crossed into Gaza.

Hmmmm…Maybe Israel ought to be pressuring the United States to open up HER southern border. After all, the Mexicans trying to get in to the U.S. aren’t really trying to blow too many things up, are they? I think that they mostly want to work menial jobs that most Americans don’t want, and take care of their families.

Unlike Israel’s not-so-friendly neighbors to the south (Gaza), who continue to assault Southern Israel with rockets, mortars, missiles and suicide bombers…

What’s good for the goose, eh?


U.S. President Obama

Congressmen press Obama on Gaza blockade

Fifty-four members of Congress send letter to US president urging him to pressure Israel into ending ‘collective punishment of Palestinian residents of the Gaza Strip’

Yitzhak Benhorin

WASHINGTON – Fifty-four congressmen sent a letter to US President Barack Obama last week urging him to pressure Israel into alleviating the blockade on the Gaza Strip. The letter’s signatories are from the left of the political spectrum.

The initiators are Congressman Keith Ellison of Minnesota, the only Muslim representative in Congress, and Jim McDermott of Washington, who are both democrats.

The letter reads: “We recognize that the Israeli government has imposed restrictions on Gaza out of a legitimate and keenly felt fear of continued terrorist action by Hamas and other militant groups. This concern must be addressed without resulting in the de facto collective punishment of the Palestinian residents of the Gaza Strip.”

They implored Obama to demand Israel relieve the residents of the Strip as part of his efforts to achieve peace in the Middle East.

“We ask you to press for immediate relief for the citizens of Gaza as an urgent component of your broader Middle East peace efforts,” the letter said.

The initiative is not slated to develop into legislation in Congress, nor is it expected to make waves beyond receiving a headline in the Minnesota Independent newspaper and support of the Peace Now and J-Street organizations in the US.

The US administration’s current public stance is that the US is committed to the welfare of the residents of the Gaza Strip and that Israel must enable the transfer of humanitarian goods into Gaza.

However, in recent months the US has been satisfied with Israeli mitigations in the area. The Obama administration would like to see more easements, but is understanding towards the Israeli position that until the matter of captive soldier Gilad Shalit Israel resolved, there will be no more easements.

The US opposes the Fatah-Hamas Palestinian unity government and is assisting Egypt in the construction of the underground barrier between Egypt and Gaza, which will block the entrance of vital goods into the Strip.
