IDNS: Assad Has Plans to Give Hezbollah Chemical Weapons
September 19, 2012 16:50 by Pesach BensonIsrael and the Palestinians
• A NY Times op-ed argues that the US was complicit in Sabra/Shatila massacre because it bought into Israeli “deceptions.” The Independent‘s Robert Fisk also notes the anniversary. This snippet proves that the more things change, the more they stay the same:
It is an irony – but an important one, nonetheless – that the only nation to hold a serious official enquiry into the massacre, albeit flawed, was Israel. The Israeli army sent the killers into the camps and then watched – and did nothing – while the atrocity took place.
• Ben Cohen doesn’t buy Hussein Ibish‘s nonsense about Jewish refugees. See also Israel HaYom‘s Dror Eydar.
• Heh: The Guardian’s forced to admit (again) that it was wrong about Israel. This time, it’s for misleading readers about the Mavi Marmara.
• The Independent: A Hamas court convicted four men for the murder of Italian “activist” Vittorio Arrigoni. Now that Big Media has an excuse to revisit the Arrigoni file, here’s hoping Harriet Sherwood and the Jewish Chronicle keep the peace.
• If you love to hate the UNRWA, here’s more fodder:
• Yet another report of a deteriorating Palestinian economy. This time, it’s Reuters picking up on a glum World Bank assessment.
• Good grief: Israeli cruise review sinks in an ocean of garbage.
Arab Spring Winter and Muslim Rage
• Signs of the times:
- Peace deal with Egypt is empty, says ambassador who fled Cairo after mob attack
- El Al to halt Cairo flights
- Sinai jihadis attack UN peacekeeping base.
- Sinai jihadis attack Egyptian security base.
• A Syrian from Aleppo got op-ed space in the NY Times. This snippet gives a sense of how the opposition views Israel:
As the international community dithers, many Syrians are prepared to accept aid from whoever offers it — even from Israel. Iran and Hezbollah support the regime; that makes these enemies of Israel also enemies of the rebels. Many Syrians believe Israel is not hamstrung by the same military inhibitions that prevent Washington from intervening.
• The commander-in-chief of the Revolutionary Guards Corp acknowledged Iran’s involvement in the Syrian uprising. More at the Wall. Street Journal (via Google News).
• Libyan officials: embassy attack was timed for anniversary of 9/11; film was just a pretext. More at the Times of Israel.
• Must read: With an assist from Memri, Tom Friedman nails the Arab rage.
• Husain Haqqani (Wall Street Journal via Google News) says Muslim rage was manipulated, and the US is playing into it too.
• Egypt threatens to execute American citizens allegedly involved in the Mohammed movie. Michael Totten reacts to the international arrest warrants Cairo sent out.
• After coming up with a cheesy cover, Newsweek invited the twitterverse to comment using the #MuslimRage hashtag. The mag’s now taking it on the chin; Muslims are tweeting humorous and real things that make them angry. Backstory at The Lede, which rounds up the best reax. I also liked Megan Garber’s take at The Atlantic.
• The French magazine Charlie Hebdo is pushing things with a new round of provocative Mohammed cartoons. AFP coverage.
• CNN revisits the problem of human trafficking in the Sinai. Some Bedouin chiefs fighting back against the bad guys.
Rest O’ the Roundup
• Lockup, the NBC series about life in prison, visited Israel and found a surprisingly positive story about life behind bars. The full show’s not online, but the Times of Israel explains what drew the show’s attention:
The hour-long Lockup episode features visits to three Israeli prisons: Rimonim, Israel’s largest maximum-security prison; Neve Tirza, the only facility for women, and Hermon, known as “the largest therapeutic community in Israel.” Lockup field producers interview inmates and staff at each prison with an eye toward explaining why Israel’s recidivism — repeat-offender — rates are among the lowest in the world.
Not only does Israel maintain fewer prisoners per capita than most Western countries, but released inmates achieve high levels of reintegration into society.
Here’s a clip from the show.

• YNet: Shots fired at the Tayibe offices of a popular Israeli-Arab newspaper.
• If you visit the pre-historic Soreq Cave, don’t be spooked by the lighting system, which the LA Times is “as spectacular as it is eerie.” Correspondent Ed Sanders explains:
By using only a limited part of the color spectrum of light and focusing on certain shades of orange, blue and green, scientists are betting the new system will eradicate one of the cave’s biggest threats: algae.

“Hamas is laying the groundwork to declare Gaza’s independence. Mahmoud Zahar told Maan News in no uncertain terms that Israel does not occupy Gaza. (Hey, that’s my line!) He also dissed the one and two-state solutions:”
Does that mean that when the bastards in gaaaaaazaaaaaa lob rockets at Sderot, then the IDF can officially go in and kick their asses?

I am an American Jew. I am an honorably discharged inactive U.S.Marine. you’re picking pepper out of fly shit! Maureen’s comments were IN NO WAY antisemitic. There was no allusion to Senor’s ethnicity but to his ‘neocon bent’ and his proven disastrous previous actions as well as the disastrous conduct of his fellow neocons during geo. bushie’s administration! Do you really think we ‘buy’ your horrendous bulls—. Why haven’t you commented on romney or any other Republicans’ religious affiliations? Because you’d be more asinine than you already are!
Hot debate. What do you think?

That’s BS.
George W. was Israel’s best friend in the White House, and Barack O. is their worst, even more so than Jimmy C..
If BO’s insistence that Israel return to its ’67 borders shows how supportive he is, then what would he have to do to show his support?
How about appeasing Iran?
It reminds me of Chamberlain in ’38, offering up Czechoslovakia’s Sudetenland to Hitler for “Peace in our time.” We know what that led to.
Neil is probably too young to know about that, and he was never taught that in school by his ultra liberal history teachers. He was only taught to hate Republicans.

what i see is a sovereign nation, iran, that was let loose by a rogue american president (dubya) when he chose to take out iraq for g-d knows what reason, and then hadn’t the diplomatic skills nor the military breadth to stop them from acquiring the nuclear cycle by 2007 (according to dennis ross). meanwhile, obama’s whitehouse has extended more military aid to israel than any previous administration. plus, they have done wonders slowing down the iranians’ ability to drive towards nuclear capability.
as for “ultra liberal history teachers?” is that what you’re best at, labeling those who disagree with your? g-d love you, sport.

ah, but i’m not too young, sport. dubya couldn’t have done the world – and israel – a bigger disservice when he chose to overthrow saddam hussein on a whim. in so doing, he removed the only effective governor keeping the iranian mullahs in some sort of stalemate. even when hussein was crippled by clinton’s no fly zones, iran was too in awe of the possible threat of the madman in baghdad to so openly attempt to acquire nuclear capability.
dubya israel’s best friend? g-d help us from the like.
as for chamberlain and germany: sounds great, sport. nice near-analogy. except, i don’t see the equivalent of sudetenland.

Meet the Press. Don’t you understand this is not a political issue? The ideology of Islam is to Islamisize the world. If you are aggressive, they are aggressive back. If you apologize, they see that as weakness and will attack. No matter what you do, they will fight. Why? Because their ideology is to Islamisize the world.

Israel became a nation reborn on May 14, 1948 (Ezekiel 36:24) Major War 1948.
Four red moons followed. (1) April 13, 1949 {Passover blood red moon (2) October 7, 1949 Sukkot Blood red moon (3) April 2, 1950 Passover blood red moon (4) September 26, 1950 Sukkot blood red moon.
June 6 Day War in 1967. (1) April 24, 1967 Passover blood red moon (2) October 18, 1967 Sukkot blood red moon (3) April 13, 1968 Passover blood red moon (4) October 6, 1968 Sukkot blood red moon. (One red moon before the 6 Day War followed by three more red moons) Major War 1967
What will happen in 2013 since Four blood red moons will follow? OR will April 15, 2014 pass with one red moon like what happened in the Six Day War followed by three red moons meaning the Sunni Arabs will go to war against Israel sometime after April 15, 2014 and before October 8, 2014?
(1) April 15, 2014 Passover blood red moon (2) October 8, 2014 Sukkot blood red moon (3) April 4, 2015 Passover blood red moon (4) September 28, 2015 Sukkot blood red moon.
Will 2013 A.D. be the year when Israel crushes the Sunni Arab terrorists living along all her borders in fulfillment of the Psalms 83 prophecy? Or will this prophecy fulfillment take place after April 2014 & before October 8, 2014? Major War either 2013 or 2014.
Syrian president Assad has told his generals should he die he wants his generals to launch their rockets upon Isreal’s cities. Should the Syrian commanders follow Assad’s advice Damascus will be destroyed (Isaiah 17:1)
God used the sun to help Joshua destroy Israel’s ancient enemies. (Joshua 10:12-14) Today, God uses the four red moons to warn the Israelites their enemies plans of attack.
Let us not forget Christians defeated the last Moslem army in Spain in 1492 A.D. Guess what followed?
(1) April 2, 1493 Passover blood red moon (2)September 25,1493 Sukkot blood red moon (3) March 22, 1494 Passover blood red moon (4)September 15, 1494 Sukkot blood red moon
What do you think the Four Blood Moons tell us?
