Israeli Army Checkpoints are NOT Obstacles to Peace…They Are Obstacles to Dead Jews
Written by Marty Roberts on June 19, 2011 – 4:54 pm -Those pesky checkpoints that check for bombs, knives and what-not carried by palestinians crossing into Jewish population centers in Israel …
Israel keeps removing them, under U.S. and European pressure, of course…confidence-building measures to reassure the palestinian enemies of Israel that they have true partners in their quest for peace…
The removal of checkpoints seems to inevitably lead to a successful terror attacks and the spilling of innocent Jewish blood
…and the IDF checkpoints keep on preventing the murder of Israeli Jews on a daily basis…
Palestinian shot trying to stab Israel soldier
A Palestinian was shot and injured on Sunday after he apparently tried to stab a soldier at a checkpoint in the northern West Bank, the Israeli military said
Reprinted from vancouversun.com
“Today, a Palestinian rushed in the direction of an Israeli soldier shouting Allahu Akhbar (God is greatest) and trying to stab him. The soldier opened fire and wounded him in the leg,” a spokeswoman told AFP.“The Palestinian was evacuated to an Israeli hospital and an investigation has been opened,” she added.
The military said the incident occurred near the Ariel settlement in the northern West Bank, south of the Palestinian city of Nablus.
Palestinian security sources confirmed that their Israeli counterparts had notified them of an incident in the northern West Bank in which they said a man tried to stab a female soldier,
But the sources added that they had no details or independent confirmation.
In January, Israeli troops shot and killed a Palestinian man at the Hamra checkpoint northeast of Nablus.
Initial reports claimed the man had tried to stab soldiers but the military later said troops had opened fire when the man entered an unauthorised lane at the checkpoint, apparently wielding a bottle.

The Cruel Israeli “Army of Occupation” Continues to Save Arab Lives…Deliver Palestinian Babies
Written by Marty Roberts on February 9, 2011 – 6:58 pm -Further proof, if you still need it, that the IDF (Israeli Defense Force) is the most humane army in the world…
Things like this occur on an almost daily basis here in Israel…And I am darned proud of it…
IDF Paramedic Helps Palestinian Woman Give Birth
Early this morning, IDF soldiers helped a Palestinian woman give birth to a
baby inside a military ambulance.
Reprinted from IMRA.org.il
The woman, who lives in the Jordan Valley, called for medical assistance
around 2 this morning. An IDF medical crew, consisting of a paramedic, three
medics, and the Deputy Commander of the Valley Brigade, Lt. Col. Shalom
Eisner, were called to the area. Since the area was unreachable by
ambulance, the woman was brought to the vehicle on a stretcher, and during
the drive on Route 90 prematurely began to give birth.The paramedic, Sgt. Gilad Nesher, began delivering the baby; a difficult
procedure considering there was no birthing equipment in the ambulance. The
situation was further complicated by the baby initially not breathing.
However, after an hour of intensive CPR the baby began breathing
independently.The mother and child were taken in an IDF helicopter from the 669 Search and
Rescue Unit to the Hadassa Ein-Kerem Hospital and are currently resting
there.

Video Release from The Israeli Army Spokesman Shows Activists on Free Gaza Ships Firing at Soldiers With Live Gunfire
Written by Marty Roberts on June 2, 2010 – 1:09 pm -
“Humanitarians” Beating Israeli Soldiers
Here is video evidence of the Israeli soldiers being shot at with LIVE GUNFIRE!!!
It was the Turkish government that said that all of the ships were checked for weapons before leaving for Gaza…Shouldn’t they be held accountable?
And why, in Heaven’s Name, is it taking Sooooooo LONG for the IDF to release these important videos?
And why do all the fools in the world refuse to believe what they are seeing, right before their very eyes?
Can the hatred for Israel and the Jews be SO great? Apparently…YES!!!
Video Release: “They are firing on us with live fire!”
Video Release: “They are firing on us with live fire!”
IDF Spokesperson 01 June 2010 , 21:08
Video shows soldiers on their way to intercepting the Mavi Marmara ship
being shot at with live fire.During the operation to redirect the Gaza flotilla on Monday (May 31), IDF
commandos boarded the Mavi Marmara ship. On the other five ships which were
part of the flotilla, the interception took place with no violence. When the
soldiers attempted to board the Mavi Marmara, activists on board attacked
the soldiers and stole two pistols in a prepared attack.In this footage you can hear the radio exchange between soldiers on their
way to the bridge and the IDF ship. The soldiers report encountering live
fire and serious violence.On Tuesday (June 1) Captain R., a Naval Special Forces commander of one of
the squadrons who participated in the interception of the Mavi Marmara ship,
said in an interview with IDF Radio: “There were terrorists who wanted to
kill us. I cannot explain it any other way. We used every means possible in
order that those who shouldn’t get hurt – would not get hurt.”Captain R. was stabbed in the stomach and was wounded in his arm. “After I
descended from the helicopter, I was in front of several terrorists and I
cocked my weapon when I saw one of them come towards me with a knife. I
fired one shot, and at that point, another twenty people started coming at
me from every direction. They jumped at me and hurled me to the lower deck.
At the same time, I felt intense pain in my stomach. I saw a knife stabbed
into my stomach and I pulled it out. I somehow managed to get to the lower
level, where there was another mob of people. I, along with other team
members, jumped into the water. The third commando that was with us was hit
in the head and lost consciousness,” he said.“We came to speak, they came to fight.”
Another naval soldier, who participated in the interception of the Mavi
Marmara ship and sustained a broken arm while under attack by the ship’s
passengers, described how the soldiers were shot at from the entrance to the
ship’s corridor.“I saw two from my group lying flat on the ground. From the opening of the
corridor they were shooting at them the entire time with live fire, bullets.
We identified a gun barrel, and one of us shot at the guy holding it.
Afterwards we entered and he wasn’t there. About 30 men, they simply came
for war. We came to straighten things out, to speak to those who went
downstairs, but each of us who descended was simply attacked.”“There were some from my group that were thrown to the lower floor, and the
passengers took their equipment. They jumped to the water as a last resort.
We were told that if they didn’t listen, we should shoot at their legs with
our paintball guns. The pistol was to be used only if we really felt our
lives in danger, which wasn’t expected to happen. It would be extremely
abnormal. But in the end, that is what happened.”“We came with the intention of stopping the ship and taking it to Ashdod,
and we did not come with the weapons we usually have, we came for something
entirely different.”

Video of the Weapons Cache Found on the Free Gaza Flotilla’s Marmara Ship of Death
Written by Marty Roberts on June 2, 2010 – 12:22 pm -Maybe the “humanitarians” on these ships thought that they needed a weapons cache to defend themselves from food and medicine thieves…More likely, they wanted violent clashes with the Israeli authorities…which they provoked and got…
Weapons, including knives, Molotov cocktails, detonators, wood and metal
clubs, slingshots and rocks, large hammers and sharp metal objects. In
addition, gas masks were found, pointing to the prior intention of the ship’s
passengers to use violence against IDF soldiers who would then be forced to
use riot dispersal methods.
Supply of weapons discovered on board the Mavi Marmara
IDF Spokesperson 01 June 2010 , 01:15 Arnon Ben-Dror
Reprinted from IDF Website
After IDF soldiers succeeded in stopping the attack against them by
passengers on board the Mavi Marmara ship, the ship was brought to the
Ashdod port and arrived in the late hours of Monday evening (May 31).
Flotilla participants were brought off the ship and taken for questioning.Once the activists left the ship, security forces began a thorough search
and found a supply of weapons, including knives, Molotov cocktails,
detonators, wood and metal clubs, slingshots and rocks, large hammers and
sharp metal objects. In addition, gas masks were found, pointing to the
prior intention of the ship’s passengers to use violence against IDF
soldiers who would then be forced to use riot dispersal methods.The Mavi Marmara was the last among the flotilla ships to arrive on Monday
to Ashdod. Beforehand, the other five ships participating in the flotilla
arrived. Unlike the Mavi Marmara, passengers on board the other ships
cooperated with the security forces. The removal of passengers from the
ships was secured by Israeli Police special forces, headed by the Yamam
Special Police Unit, in addition to Military Policemen and naval officers
who assisted in escorting the passengers to the security examination site
set up in the Ashdod port.In this security check, personnel from the Oz Unit of the Ministry of the
Interior waited for the passengers of the flotilla, and verified the
identification of the passengers using their passports. Some of the
passengers were arrested and some deported. Due to the extremely violent
attack by passengers on board the Mavi Marmara against IDF soldiers, these
passengers were detained for questioning at the port.Among the IDF representatives who arrived to the Ashdod port throughout the
day were Deputy Chief of the General Staff Maj. Gen. Benny Gantz, Head of
the Operations Directorate Maj. Gen. Tal Roso, GOC of the Southern Command
Maj. Gen. Yoav Galent and GOC of the Home Front Command, Maj. Gen. Yair
Golan.

Flotilla of Humanitarian Aid to Gaza…Or Just “Ships of Fools”?
Written by Marty Roberts on May 28, 2010 – 1:17 pm -Podcast: Play in new window | Download
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”…

The Next War in Gaza Seems Inevitable…The Only Question is “When?”
Written by Marty Roberts on March 28, 2010 – 6:00 pm - Not that we are at all happy about it. This is MY neighborhood that we are talking about. My sons are in the Israeli Army. The handwriting has been on the wall for a long time, now. I have seen the coming war as inevitable since the end of the LAST war in Gaza. That’s because the Israeli government did not let the IDF finish the job.
What needed to be done before the Israeli army left Gaza, and STILL needs to be done:
1. Destroy, completely Hamas’s military ability, including weapons, supplies, command and control, military leadership.
2. Destroy ALL the smuggling routes used to replenish weapons supplies…and take control of the entire border area with Egypt where these weapons flow…that is, RE-take control of the Philadelphia corridor.
3. Remove Hamas from power in Gaza. They must be replaced by either more moderate Palestinian Authority leadership, or Israel has no choice but to re-take control until there is a reasonable alternative to fill the void.
I learned in dental school, long, long ago, that “There is never enough time to do the job right, but there is ALWAYS is enough time to do the job OVER”…
I can only hope that, if and when we DO do the job right, the price in Israeli blood will not be high…
Residents of south Israel fear another war brewing
Communities surrounding Gaza say death of two soldiers in Gaza Friday, along with continuous rocket fire, may be sign full-blown military conflict nearing. ‘We don’t deserve to live like this,’ Kfar Aza resident says
Reprinted from Ynetnews.com Tova Dadon
Residents of Israel’s southern region view the incident in which two soldiers were killed in Gaza Friday, along with the continuous rocket and mortar fire emanating from the Hamas-ruled territory, as a possible prelude to a full-blown war.“There is a sense that we are on the brink of another war,” a member of Kibbutz Kfar Aza told Ynet on Saturday.
“Mortars have been falling here for a week now, just like in Operation Cast Lead,” said Orit Arjento, “I am in constant stress; running to the Internet to see if there is any news and debating whether I should close the window or leave it open, because of the mortars.
“Fortunately we have a secure room in our apartment, but still, jumping out of bed and making sure that all of the children made it to the secure room is not easy at age 52,” she said.
Prior to the launching of Operation Cast Lead, a mortar landed on the Arjento family home, directly hitting the room of teenage daughter Shir.
“We don’t deserve to live like this,” said Orit, who invited 30 guests from all over the country to attend the Pesach Seder.
“I can’t tell them (guests) that it is completely safe here. The ‘Color Red’ alert sounds on occasion,” she said.
Yoav Peled, security officer for the Shaar Hanegev Regional Council said, “This is the reality, and we’ve almost learned to live with it – after eight years (of rocket fire) and after the war.
“There is a sweeping decision not leave the region. I can’t say that everyone thinks as I do, but I can say with certainty that since Operation Cast Lead more and more people have relocated to the council’s communities; our kibbutzim are full,” he said.

Israel Lost 2 More Fine Young Men Last Night to Palestinians in Gaza…We Must Wipe Out This Evil
Written by Marty Roberts on March 27, 2010 – 11:12 pm - The Hamas terrorist palestinians are feeling their oats in light of recent developments out of Washington. They are jumping on the opportunity presented by Obama-Clinton and Co.’s outrageous attacks on Israel…and Israel is paying the price of their increasingly brazen attacks in blood…
Last night’s deaths raise the toll to three young Israeli soldiers killed in the past week. The coming re-clash in Gaza seems to be inevitable, in spite of Goldstone and the rest of the world’s attempts to usurp Israel’s right to self defense. But we must not be stopped. The evil growing and prospering on all sides of Israel must be wiped out once and for all. The safety of the innocent citizens of Israel must be guaranteed…not by US promises, but by the IDF, Israel’s proud army.
The UN secretary general Ban Ki-moon has good reason to be concerned, and he’d best not try to interfere with Israel’s right to peaceful borders.
And how tragic is it that, instead of Israel’s defense minister Barak worrying more about wiping out the evil threatening Israel, he’s busy worrying about satisfying the American president by using Israel’s army to destroy Jewish homes…the so-called “illegal outposts”, which are neither illegal nor outposts…Shame on you, Ehud Barak…destroy Israel’s enemies, NOT her citizens’ homes…

UN chief ‘concerned’ about Gaza violence
Ban Ki-moon laments incident in which two IDF soldiers were killed, calls for ‘maximum restraint’
Reprinted from ReutersUN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said on Saturday he was concerned about a clash in the Gaza Strip in which two Israeli soldiers were killed.
“I am very concerned at the escalation of violence and loss of life yesterday in the vicinity of the Gaza border,” Ban told a news conference on the sidelines of an Arab League summit in the Libyan town of Sirte.
“I reiterate my appeals made during my recent visit for maximum restraint and an end to all violence, in particular at this critical time when we are engaged in efforts to revive peace talks.”
Ban was referring to Friday’s incident, in which 32-year-old Major Eliraz Peretz and 21-year-old Staff Sergeant Ilan Sviatkovsky were killed in an exchange of fire with terrorists on the Gaza border. Two Palestinians were killed while trying to plant an explosive device near the border fence.
Two hours later, two more Palestinians were killed in another incident in the area. They were spotted by an IDF force trying to plant an explosive device near the border fence and shot.
The commander of this force was the officer involved in an incident of friendly fire that occurred in Gaza earlier this week, in which a soldier was killed. He led his soldiers into a gun battle in which they were mistaken for terrorists and opened fire upon by Golani soldiers.
On Saturday morning the violence continued when a Qassam was fired towards Shaar HaNegev Regional Council. Meanwhile IDF bulldozers are accompanying IDF tanks in scanning the area on the Palestinian side of the border fence in order to locate other explosive devices. Bushes have been removed in order to improve intelligence.
Mother of fallen soldier: God loves Golani
Miriam Peretz, mother of major killed in gunfight in Gaza, says her son died so Israelis can ‘walk proud’, meanwhile Ynet learns demolition orders have been issued on his home, located in West Bank outpost
Reprinted from Ynetnews.com
The mother of 32-year-old Major Eliraz Peretz, who was killed in a gunfight with Palestinian terrorists in Gaza Friday, gave an interview Saturday in which she called her son “the salt of the earth”.Twelve years ago Miriam lost another son, Uriel, in Lebanon. Her four sons served in the Golani Brigade.
“I know God loves the Peretz family’s Golani, loves these warriors, loves Eliraz who I will say simply was a hero,” she told her family and guests at the Peretz household.
“My sons are always at the front because officers go in front. He provided a personal example and he was alerted to give aid, so of course he was the first to do so. He didn’t go to die, but went so that I and the people of Israel could live well. My sons died for us all, so that we can walk proud.”
Miriam Peretz added, “In Morocco I went around with my head bowed and I had no freedom. Here in Israel I see my boys in uniform and I’m proud to be Jewish. Eliraz had a gentle soul and a pure soul. He was righteous and pure and a mother could be proud to have such a son.”
The mother read a letter from her son thanking her and his father for signing a form allowing him to serve in combat.
“There are no mothers, on our side or the other side, who want their children dead. I don’t want my children to die. I don’t imagine scenarios of death but rather of life. I teach my children to live in this country heroically.”
Demolition orders issued on Peretz home
Meanwhile Ynet learned Saturday evening that demolition orders have been issued for Peretz’s home in the West Bank outpost of Givat Hayovel, near the settlement of Eli, where his wife and four children reside. The home is an illegal structure.
One of Peretz’s neighbors was Major Roi Klein, who was killed during the Second Lebanon War by jumping on a hand grenade to save his fellow soldiers.
Some of the residents of Eli and Givat Hayovel told Ynet that Peretz took Klein’s family in after his death, inviting them to dinner and teaching the children the Torah.
