Despicable, if true: Settlers burn Palestinian fields as a consequence of having illegal outposts removed. I have no snark for this, only contempt.
Labor to Israel: Netanyahu and Obama have their wires crossed, which is detrimental to U.S.-Israel relations. Meryl to Labor: Gee, ya think?
Swiss to Israel: Neutral on Hamas? Hey, they’re a major player. Hey, if the Swiss could stay neutral on the Nazis, why not with the Nazi’s heirs? It’s not like you have to take a stand anymore. Who’s going to invade Switzerland? And besides, there’s still the matter of all that Nazi-era Jewish wealth the Swiss have refused to investigate or give back, so it’s not like they’re doing anything unexpected here.
If the Palestinians fire on the IDF from Gaza, and Israel doesn’t invade, did it really happen? Of course, if the IDF goes into Gaza to kill Palestinian terrorists who are trying to kill them, the “cycle of violence” has been restarted and it is, of course, the fault of the defenders rather than the offenders. Just trying to give you the narrative before it’s even written.
Obama’s advisers: They’re as dumb as he is. Really. Read this:
President Barack Obama’s advisers are urging critics of their health care overhaul to wait for Congress to finish writing legislation before issuing verdicts.
Really? They’re voting on legislation without even reading it, and they’re telling us to wait until they’ve finalized a multi-thousand page bill? Oh, that’s not hypocritical at all, is it?
Obama’s approval ratings drop below 50%: Looks like you can’t fool most of the people most of the time. By the way, if you read the article, check the polling data. The Obamedia tends to skew the figures to say what they want them to say.
Hillary: I broke my elbow, not my larynx. See, I toldja there was no rift between Hillary and Obama. She’s not positioning herself away. She’s just as eager to bash Israel as her boss.
UNIFIL covering for Hezbollah, again: This is no surprise. The UN knew about the arms cache that exploded—months ago. I know you’re just as shocked as I am.
The source said UNIFIL had precise information about the cache and a number of other installations where Hezbollah is storing rockets, but that UNIFIL had done nothing.
And what’s the UN going to do about it? Why, what the UN does best.
A discussion is scheduled in the UN Security Council for late August on renewing UNIFIL’s mandate in southern Lebanon.
And that’s it for today. Time to go to work.
I would have to wait until I see some accurate reports on this. I have previously seen a number of reports of Arabs building (or planting) illegaly on Jewish owned land and protesting when the owners try to reclaim their land. If it is indeed land owned by the Arabs, then it is wrong to burn the fields. After all it was not the Arabs who destroyed the Jewish “settlements”. The article does not make it clear what actually happened.
B”H
I think by now we need to know that hearing something about settlers or haredim from either AmHaretz, Ma’aravi, Idiot Aharanot, or even the Palestinian Post must bet treated with suspicion.
Remember the time the leftists and Arabs did this, and blamed it on us settlers.
Oh, whoops. That’s happened quite a bit.
BTW, {prepared for some halachic political incorrectness?} we’re in a milhemeth misswah.
I challenge you to state hallachic what the settlers did, or may have done, that was assur.
“They’re voting on legislation without even reading it, and they’re telling us to wait until they’ve finalized a multi-thousand page bill?”
The last time, not only had the congresscritters not read the bill, but the bill had not even been completed and fully written. Three hundred more pages fell out of the sky in the dark of night into the bill, after the vote.
