The Obama Administration, along with most of the Western world, continues to fool itself into thinking that the Arabs want peace with Israel, and two states living side-by-side.  This is despite the fact that the Arabs themselves have never explicitly said so.

Here is Hamas’ most recent example.

______________________________


http://infidelsparadise.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/hamas_rally.jpgHamas head Khaled Mashaal gave a speech Thursday evening in response to a policy speech given by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu several days earlier.  Mashaal proclaimed that Hamas is ready to cooperate with the international community in order to reach a deal with Israel, but only under conditions it deems favorable.

Specifically, Mashaal rejected every proposal supported by Israel, including Netanyahu’s insistence that the Palestinian Authority recognize Israel as a Jewish state.  Hamas will never recognize Israel as a Jewish state, because it hopes to see millions of descendants of Arab residents of pre-state Israel “return” to the area, potentially turning Israel into a majority-Arab state, Mashaal explained.

He rejected Netanyahu’s proposal that the PA form a demilitarized state within Judea, Samaria and Gaza. “A demilitarized state is a miserable state, not a serious entity,” he stated.

Mashaal also insisted that an Arab state in Judea and Samaria be granted Jerusalem as its capital.

While stating his readiness to cooperate, Mashaal compared Israel to Nazi Germany and expressed support for terrorism. “[Israel] failed in its Nazi war on Gaza, just as it failed in Lebanon,” he said. “This was due to the resistance, not to dialogue, which serves only to hide the true face of occupation.”

Mashaal praised United States President Barack Obama for “using new language” with Israel, but called on the U.S. leader to do more. “We’re hoping for real pressure on the Israelis,” he said.

What the Arabs want is not two states living side-by-side in peace, but instead a Phakestinian State created so it can be used to destroy Israel – all according to the PLO Phased Plan.

The Arabs have never wanted “two states”, and have honestly never stated such.  “Two states” is simply what the West wants to hear, and thus we pretend that it has been said.  Every act by the Arabs regarding Israel (as acknowledged again by Hamas) is in furtherance of their goal to destroy Israel.  They want Judea, Samaria and Gaza to chip away at the body of Israel, and they insist on Jerusalem as their capitol because they know it will destroy Israel’s heart and soul.  The “demand of so-called Return” is to create a cancer within the Jewish state.

Every Arab act of “peace” is to destroy Israel.  It is about time the West (especially the U.S.) woke up to this fact.

Israel’s New Spy Robot Snake & Other Defense Items

Being the enemy of Israel just got a bit less appealing….

The Authority for Research and Development of Weapons in the Defense Ministry has developed a robot snake fitted with video and audio equipment that advances on the ground into enemy positions for intelligence collection. It can be used for special forces stealth operations, for crawling through Hamas tunnels or into Hizbullah bunkers. In addition, it could be used for locating survivors inside collapsed buildings after natural disasters or terror attacks.

The six-foot long snake can also be fitted with explosives and detonated inside enemy positions — a capability dubbed as ‘suicide.’ The snake is currently in the prototype stage of development and has no price tag yet, but the Defense Ministry plans to begin production on a large scale soon.

According to a report on Channel 2, the snake can crawl into enemy positions through sewage pipes, under buildings and through forests. It is operated by one person with a laptop computer.

Other new weapons are already being supplied to the IDF, and are expected to be popular in upcoming weapons exhibits. Tanks in one of the IDF’s armored regiments will soon receive new shells, called Kalanit, for a week of experimental use.

Fitted for 120 mm. guns, the Kalanit APAM is primarily intended for use against anti-tank squads that hide behind obstacles and are thus hard to hit using regular munitions. Unlike regular shells, which have a flat trajectory, the Kalanit is not fired directly at the enemy target but rather at a point in the air directly above it. According to the IDF website, it then stops in mid-air and releases six disc-shaped charges, or submunitions, at different intervals. The shrapnel from these charges covers a very wide and long kill zone and is effective against scattered targets as well as concentrated ones.

Unlike the Rakefet, however, the Kalanit receives its target data when it is already inside the gun’s chamber. The tank crew needs only to mark the target with a press of a button and fire the shell, which will do all the rest automatically.  These unique features of the Kalanit make it possible for the tank crew to carry it inside the gun chamber and fire it immediately upon spotting a target.

The shell has four settings, for different types of targets. Besides being effective against infantry and anti-tank units, it can also be used against buildings, bunkers, armored personnel carriers and even helicopters. For a concentrated high explosive blast, all six submunitions.

Breaking News – Obama Drops Key Clause in Jerusalem Embassy Memo

It appears as if the Apologist-in-Chief is continuing his efforts at alienating our closest friend and ally – and the only truly and completely representative democracy – in the Middle East.  In the official Presidential memo detailing our policy approach to Israel, there was a clause that was always inserted by Bush, to the effect that the USA continues to commit itself to moving our embassy to Jerusalem.  Well, in Obama’s first release of this document, the clause isn’t there.

Late on Friday The Washington Times’ Christian Bourge obtained a copy of Presidential Determination 2009-19, latest in a series of pro forma memos to the Secretary of State entitled “Suspension of Limitations Under the Jerusalem Embassy Act.” This determination is a legally required waiver under said act to continue to delay the May 31, 1999 deadline for moving the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.  

Nearly identical memos like this have been issued every six months for the last decade. Standard procedure, no big deal, right? Well in the Bush years the memo contained the sentence,

“My Administration remains committed to beginning the process of moving our embassy to Jerusalem.”

The Obama team has edited that passage out. This explains the Friday evening release. Congress should revisit the Jerusalem Embassy Act and remove the loophole that has allowed this charade to continue for ten years. Meanwhile the president should explain exactly what his policy is on this issue, and why he is not committed to beginning the process of moving the embassy.

In the world of Washington DC, releasing news late on the Friday afternoon is the political equivalent of trying to bury a body in the cornfield.  News is released at that time because the players know it will be found out eventually, and so they have some plausibility in saying that
“hey, we didn’t hide anything,” but all the same, it’s buried because, well, who pays attention to world events on Friday night? 

Looks like Obama is trying to appease his new friends, the Palestinians.

President Obama Meets With Abu Mazen

Today, President Barack Obama met with Phakestinian “President”, and leader of Fatah terrorist organization, Abu Mazen (now being called Mahmoud Abbas).  The numerous reports around the globe are stating that Abu Mazen/Mahmoud Abbas will be discussing with Obama how they can work together to “stop all Jewish ‘settlement’ growth” in Judea, and Samaria, and force Israel to accept a “Palestinian” state within their borders despite any legitimate security concerns that they might have.

Following are numerous news reports that do just that:  Al-Bawaba, Christian Science Monitor, ABC, Allheadlinenews, AP, Ynet, Politico.  There are many more.

The main issue that the U.S. now seems to be concentrating on is Jewish “settlements” as being the core stumbling block in our eternal quest for Jewish-Islamic Middle East peace.  This claim is ridiculous, as the building of homes is not nearly as much as an international concern (or it should be) as the murder of innocent civilians.

The concentration on “settlements” however is not new -it has been the Arab talking-point from before the modern state of Israel was founded.  It was originally a complaint about Jewish settlement in pre-1948 that the Arabs used as an excuse to murder Jews, then after 1948 it was Jewish settlement in general (the Creation of Israel).  This caused many conflicts, much violence, and ultimately the 1967 Six Day War.  Only thereafter did the Arab complaint regarding “Jewish settlement” come to refer to post-1967 Jewish communities in Judea, and Samaria. (as a starting point to getting back to fighting about the “settlement” pre 1948)

Accordingly, it seems that the U.S. has now bought into the Arab campaign to end Jewish “settlement”, and thus work for the destruction of Israel in general (whether the U.S. is aware of it or not).  The concern is not the health, or safety of innocent civilians (Israeli or Arab) through the ending of terrorism, but now a campaign against Jewish ‘settlement’ and specifically growth.  With zero emphasis on whether or not this tact is even going to end the conflict, or save lives.

In fact, as is evidenced by the articles above, the U.S. has actually taken a policy against Jewish “natural growth”.  But hey, why not concentrate on the building of homes by Jews among Islamists as the core reason there is no peace – we saw how much peace was achieved from ethnically cleansing Gaza of all Jews, and Jewish settlement.
“natural growth” of ‘settlements”

Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, and the rest of the Obama Administration are leading the charge against what they are calling “natural growth” of Jewish neighborhoods in post 1967 Israel.  But what does “natural growth” mean?  In short, natural grown is the normal expansion of communities due to natural events such as marriage, and child birth.  Therefore, the U.S. is taking a policy against marriage, and child birth for Jews living in Judea, and Samaria.

Could you imagine if this demand was made on Muslims in pre-1967 Israel? (or anywhere else in the World for that matter?)

You can read all about this issue on Israel Matsav, Israel National News, and many other sources.  Thus, I am going to concentrate on a group more vilified in the world by the MSM, EU, U.S., and UN than anyone else – Jewish Residents of Judea & Samaria.  Who really are these “settlers”, what do these “evil” “settlements” look like, what is this illegal “outpost” or “settlement”?

One of the most spoken/complained about “settlements” is Hebron.  Also for reference, here are a few pictures of those “evil” “settlers” – the ’cause of all the strife in the middle east’, and who now no longer have a right to procreate.
