Irish Times: The Israeli embassy in Ireland apologized for a Christmas Facebook gaffe. More related links at The Lede.

The IDF released security footage of last week’s fatal “fake gun” incident in Hebron.

In a Financial Times commentary (click via Google News), a Saudi academic says the stars are nicely aligned for Mideast peace.

Rest O’ the Roundup

A British judge denied parole to Jordanian terrorist Nezar Hindawi, whose plot to blow up an El Al plane was foiled at the last minute. The BBC explains:

Hindawi planted a bomb in his pregnant fiancee’s hand luggage on a flight from London Heathrow to Tel Aviv in 1986.

The device could have killed 375 people had security staff not found it.

    When you think about it, east Jerusalem, is in the minds of the Palestinians, has no limits geographically as their lies have no end. Tamar Shlomo is in the geographical north in terms of the geographic Jerusalem. Ramat Shlomo is a well established northern quarter of YERUSHALAYIM, the reunited capital metropolis of ERETZ YISRAEL, this include the center, the north, the east, the south and the west. The small square of the eastern old city where the future temple will be erected and on which the illegal mosque is temporarily located is the only place referred to as east Jerusalem + a few streets inhabited by Arab squatters who own illegally houses that have been rehabbed with mostly stolen construction materials from hebrew sites. Please people of the world stop believing these lies and beware of the Muslims who are hard at work conquering your own countries using to their advantage your democracy, human rights, political system and your social services!

    The Richard Falk letter was great, but overlooks the fact that all the anti-semitic traits of Falk are probably considered positive attributes by certain high officials at Human Rights Watch.

    I doubt if anyone is going to take heed of Hilel Neuer’s letter. There are too many deaf ears and too many who pay lip-service to the detractors and, as long as the name of that Falk is big enough and bright enough, his position on the HRW will continue to be assured. What has happened to people who actually care about justice, fair-dealing and respect? Do decent people become so frustrated with wrong-doers that they themselves start resorting to draconian means to remove people like Falk? Oh, please, God forbid!

    I will always ONLY pose under FALSE nicknames EVRYWHERE online. I HEREBY ON MY LIFE REFUSE and WILL UNDER NO TORTURE obey ANY command whatsoever. My hatred against the nazis is too big. I would kill myself now, would I know, that ALL racists would die with me.

    so facebook forces people — wants to force people- to use their real name on facebook.

    that is the EXACT same as tattooing a NUMBER on a per nazi-definiition “lower” race member, on the forearm of a JEW. as the nazis did to six million of us.

    facebook is hitler. kill hitler.

    Where were, all the persons calling themselves Palestinian refugees, living before the reestablishment of ERETZ YISRAEL? It is almost a miracle that so many of them lived in the land in so few existing buildings at the time! Looking back in recent history, they were fewer than half a million Arabs and now miraculously there are almost 4 million of then, in Judea & Samaria & Gaza!! If a count is made of all those Arabs calling themselves Palestinian refugees outside these areas, we may face a population of gigantic proportion. WHERE DID THEY COME FROM? Even at a birth rate of great proportion they could never be what they call themselves! The real reason that they identify themselves as Palestinian refugees is economic and not national. They have been milking UNWRA far too long and the UN has had enough apparently of this situation and therefore explains the deeply negative votes against Israel, in every topic that came up at the UN.
    Why should the UN and the EU be concerned by the construction business in Israel? Why should they be and are in favour of dividing our capital? The real reasons may never be known, so Israel go it alone, quit the UN, repeal all signatures on global pacts and agreements, piss on international tribunal that are biased anyway and return to trust Hashem, there is none other than HIM.

    I wonder how many of the genuine refugees now tragically forced to leave their homes in Syria will end up drifting to existing “refugee camps” in Lebanon and miraculously becoming re-registered as Palestinian refugees thus increasing dishonest propaganda against Israel and ensuring their own permanent status as second class non-citizens of Lebanon.
