While visiting Israel last week we witnessed the strange controversy over the Ga-a-va (Pride) Parade in Jerusalem. Two thousand gays and lesbians organized a parade in the world’s only Jewish Holy City. Orthodox Jews who live there decided to stop them. Has there ever been a Gay Pride Parade in a Muslim city? Mecca? How about Teheran? Baghdad? Cairo? Karachi? If you answered no, no, no, no, and no, consider yourself well informed.

We watched an interview with Dana Olmert (on the right in the photo), the Prime Minister’s daughter, a proud Lesbian and militant Jew-hating Lefty committed to an Arab victory in ‘Palestine’. From ynet circa June 2006: PM’s daughter protests Gaza killings

“Dana Olmert takes part in left-wing demonstration outside army chief’s house; protesters call Halutz murderer, declare intifada shall prevail. Meanwhile, human rights groups send letter to PM, Defense minister, calling on them to stop war crimes in territories”

In the interview Dana was the aggressive lesbian. For balance Channel 10 presented a ‘moderate’ lesbian who claimed that the parade can be held in Tel-Aviv, but she wasn’t sure.

We don’t usually endorse actions of Liberal organizations on the grounds that they probably have some hidden agenda or are up to no good tricks. However, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) ran a series of ads in the New York Times (of all things) that are worth sharing. Great job! The ads speak for themselves, so here they are.

This Blog was born out of anger with the incoherence of our political, academic and media elites. Technology has made communications the most important front in war at a time when the West has lost the skill of using precise language. The Founding Fathers, who labored over the exact meaning of each word and explored all possible interpretations of a phrase, must be turning in their graves.

2500 years ago the Chinese warrior Sun Tzu wrote that a military operation involves deception. More recently the German General Carl von Clausewitz expressed similar ideas. In the seventh century Muhammad taught that “war is deceit” and in the twentieth century Corporal Adolf Hitler recognized that deceit is more economical than combat.

Sun Tzu, von Clausewitz, Muhammad and Hitler understood that, regardless of how victory is achieved, the vanquished can be assimilated, enslaved or slain at will. Both also understood that, even as the troops are marching, it is best to talk about peace and tranquility, because there will always be amongst the enemy those gullible or fearful enough to believe the babble and agitate for appeasement.

Language confusion abates the enemy’s war of deception. Today’s lesson focuses on just one word – terrorism. We were reminded of our dislike of this word by a post yesterday in Little Green Footballs with the title CAIR’s Anti-terrorism Campaign: Empty Page.

Mahmod Mahmod was found guilty in the honor killing of his 20 year old daughter (Telegraph June 11, 2007).

A father of a 20-year-old woman who was killed and buried in a suitcase under a patio was today found guilty of her murder.

Banaz Mahmod was strangled in a so-called “honor” killing after her family disapproved of her relationship with her boyfriend.

Her father Mahmod Mahmod and his brother Ari Mahmod ordered the murder because they believed she had shamed the family.

A number of police officers are facing an internal disciplinary investigation over the handling of the case after it emerged that Miss Mahmod had told police four times that she feared for her life.

She even wrote a letter naming those she thought would do it – one of whom later admitted his part in the killing.

The Scotland Yard is facing severe criticism (Telegraph June 12, 2007).

When Israel adopted the “Oslo” strategy, instead of killing the enemy, it began a series of endless unilateral “goodwill gestures” and capitulations. Among the countless victims of the Oslo accord was Mohammed Sawirki.

Let me explain.

Mohammed Sawirki was a member of the “Palestinian presidential guard”, a small militia that guards the Palestinian Authority “president” Abu Mazen. Not guarding him from Israelis but from the Hamas and Jihad peace partners.

Israel’s Yediot Ahronot reports that Sawirki was kidnapped by Hamas and tossed out live from an 18th story window in Gaza. Unlike many members of Peace Now he could not fly. Two other Fatah militia men were murdered by Hamas, which carved Jewish stars into their corpses (Hamas claims that Fatah are Israeli collaborators). In retaliation, Fatah killed an Imam at a Gaza mosque, one associated with Hamas. All of this is a direct consequence of Israel turning the Gaza Strip over to the barbarians and evicting all the Jews there.

I have long argued that there is no solution to the situation other than R&D and that everything else is a delusion. By R&D I mean Re-Occupation and De-Nazification. But now the Gaza savages have given the term a new meaning: Repression and Defenestration.

Sawirki paid the ultimate price for the inane foolishness of the Oslo “process”. He will not be the last.

The Sunday Telegraph reports that the Department of Home Land Security has invited Sci-fi writers to help save the world from terrorism.

Anti-terror chiefs in the United States have hired a team of America’s most original sci-fi authors to dream up techniques to help them combat al-Qaeda.

Ideas so far include mobile phones with chemical weapons detectors and brain scanners fitted to airport sniffer dogs, so that security staff can read their minds.

The writers have also put government scientists in touch with Hollywood special-effects experts, to work on better facial-recognition software to pick out terrorists at airports.

The Department of Homeland Security has set aside around $10 million – one tenth of its research budget – for “high impact” projects dreamed up by the best brains in futuristic fiction.

Let me confess up front that I am not a Sci-Fi writer. But I have read Ender’s Game and admire Orson Scott Card. I also have many boxes of the genre buried in the basement. It goes without saying that I could use the $10 million.

So here is my wild scenario. It does not involve sniffer dogs or special software technologies. Chemicals and nukes do not appear until the very end. Special-effects are involved only to the extent that deceit is such an effect.

Breaking news! From Syria National News (SNN).

Ehud “3%” Olmert’s plan to bring world peace by returning the Golan to Syria has been exposed as a sham by the discovery of giant attack golf balls on the Syrian border. Upon uncovering the Israeli plot, the Syrian Optometrist, Basher al-Assad, said that he never really believed Olmert. He had ordered his army to continue recruiting suicide bombers in anticipation of a trick. “You can never trust the Jews” he said.

Low in the valley lies Quneitra the headquarters of the Syrian army in the region. The village is protected in the foreground by some UN shacks.

Up on the tallest hill in the area the Jews have been building … what?

Syria is mobilizing for war. Ehud Olmert, the Prime Minister with 3% approval rating, can’t find good reasons to hold on to the Golan and is preparing to surrender it.
On the odd chance that Prince Ehud reads this Blog, here are a few good reasons.

In 1973, in the Valley of Tears hundreds of Syrian tanks launched a surprise nighttime attack on a ridge defended by a few tanks of the Oz brigade. The invaders came prepared. They had night vision; the Israelis did not. The defensive line collapsed and the Syrians penetrated deep into the Israeli formations. The Israeli commander reported that he was amazed at how bravely and skillfully the Syrians fought. He realized that he was facing annihilation and there was no immediate help coming. A strange calm came over him as he thought, “I am stronger than they are; I am braver than they are”. He communicated to the other tanks commanders, “I’m moving back to my original position; we must hold the original line; everybody who can, move up with me!” Read more >

Welcome Lizards. Little Green Footballs has linked to our site bumping our traffic up by orders of magnitude. Thank you, Charles! EU Referendum, our favorite UK Blog, also linked to Preparing for War Circa 1967, thank you! By popular demand, here is an encore pictorial essay on the Six Day War.

The Wailing Wall a couple of days after we liberated Jerusalem. Read more >

On June 8, 1967, exactly 40 years ago, I entered Old Jerusalem. Like the other soldiers around me, I had a sense of the monumental significance of the unfolding events. 2000 years of longing had just been satisfied. Raised on a secular social democratic diet, we nonetheless studied the bible and Jewish history in school, as was mandatory in Israel at the time. So we stood shoulder to shoulder at the Wailing Wall with tears in our eyes.

Prior to the start of the Six Day War Israel went through a month of preparations. Here are some scenes published, starting May 23, in what the Air Force called Readiness Bulletins.
