President Barack Hussein Obama killed Yitzhak Ames, 47, and his wife Tali Ames, 45, Kochava Ben-Haim, 37, and Avishai Schindler, 24, all from Beit Hagai, by providing financing, moral support and hope to the terrorists who pulled the trigger. Let the peace talks begin.

Israelis are in for a rough September and disastrous 2011 as Obama becomes more desperate to produce a “peace.” Israel National News provides interesting stats.

The terror attack is typical of Arab “resistance” attacks that intentionally target civilian victims. A survey carried out by a PA organization in early August found that among the Arab public in the Palestinian Authority, over 55% view violence as either essential or desirable, nearly 31% see it as either acceptable or tolerable, and only 13.7% say it is unacceptable.

The attack was probably timed to coincide with and affect the direct talks between Israel and the PA in Washington, D.C., that are to begin Thursday. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said upon landing in Washington that the talks would proceed as planned, despite the murders, evoking memories of PM Yitshak Rabin’s term “sacrifices for peace” for the post Oslo accord terror attacks, which cost tens of Israelis their lives.

Oh, yes, the infamous “sacrifices for peace.” How come only Jews must make them? If Israelis shot and killed four Arabs near Hebron, you just know Abbas would walk out of the talks in an Arafat minute.

In Islam, the more things appear to change the more they remain the same. Back in the 620s AD, Muhammad taught his followers to lie for the sake of Allah. Deceit, murder, rape – anything necessary to spread Islam – were suctioned by Muhammad and his Allah in the Koran. Muhammad’s followers learned well. They deceive because they emulate Muhammad, the “perfect” man. Liberals just lie because they are stupid, malicious or Antisemitic.

In the upside down world we live in, it is sometimes difficult to keep the faith. Just when we have started questioning our ability to defeat the 1400 year old Jihad, along comes a true hero to renew our confidence.  Lest you think that the young man in the video is unique, you should know that pretty much all the “settlers” in Judea and Samaria have the same in-you-face attitude. One day these young people will run Israel and there will be hope and change.

Makes me proud to be a Jew and an Israeli.

Israel’s navy won a sea battle against a flotilla of crazed Jihadis, killing ten saboteurs and wounding many more. We celebrated with a glass of red wine and a a slice of strawberry cheesecake. Barack Hussein Obama, the Muslim born, Indonesian educated, Kenyan President of the United States, called it tragic and demanded an explanation. Read more >

Did you hear the one about the Gaza Jihad class? Teacher, strapped in a suicide belt, “Listen up, kids! I am only going to do this once.”

The long term problem Israel faces emanates from the demographic realities on the ground. With 65% of the Gaza population consisting of crazed teenagers, nursed on Jihad ideology from the crib, it is not possible for any leader in Arab occupied Israel to sue for peace. Read more >

Are you worried that a deeply disloyal soldier, who openly confessed allegiance to the Islamist enemy, managed to attain the rank of Major in the United States military? Chris Matthews isn’t.

Given the predisposition of the media against anything American, Christian or Israeli, it is not surprising that a Jihadi attack on an army base in Texas, by a devout Muslim, inspires (P)MSNBC to worry about rampant Islamophobia. It is impossible to miss Chris Matthews’ pandering to the Muslim overlords. The smirk on Nihad’s face, at the end, shows that he recognizes a subservient dhimmi when he sees one. Read more >

Prime Minister Netanyahu, speaking to a special session of Cabinet, recited a popular nursery rhyme.

The Jews of Gush Katif lived behind a wall,

The Jews of Gush Katif had a great fall.

All the Kadima traitors,

And all the Likud plans,

Couldn’t put the Jews in their homes again.

The forced removal of Jews from their homes in Gaza was a mistake, Netanyahu is really, really sorry, he promises to not do it again, but he can’t do anything about it now … life goes on, get over it. Read more >

Prime Minister Moussavi and the First Supreme Leader Khomeni

We haven’t written about events in Iran because we could not understand what the fuss was all about. The Butcher of Beirut vs. the Hitler of Our Time, and we are supposed to choose sides?

In all the excitement, highly respected Conservative bloggers lost their bearings. Stars like Michelle Malkin started posting in support of the “green revolution” led by Mir-Hossein Mousavi, who in the 80s arranged the attack on the US Marine barracks in Beirut and is widely known to be the founder of Hezbollah.

Bloggers pined for Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, the first Ayatollah to come out in favor of nuking the Jews, to tip the scales in favor of the Butcher and his minions in their struggle to wrestle control from Hitler and his thugs. How one group of militant Shia Islamists would be better than another group of militant Shia Islamists is beyond us.

Of course, when the enemy has to expend energy suppressing uprisings in the rear it is a good thing by definition. Hopefully, fighting  each other will keep the Ayatollahs busy. So here is to chaos in the Islamic Republic of Iran! May the Supreme Leader and the Supreme Leader wannabe both suffer the fate they so richly deserve, in hell. What color should we display for that? Red?

Debbie Schlussel got it right and has been posting furiously on the subject. Read more >

From 1648 to 1649, Officer Bogdan Chmielnicki, with an army of Russian Cossacks, local peasants and the support of the Tatar Khan of the Crimea, killed more than 300,000 Jews in the Ukraine. That wave of destruction is considered the first modern pogrom. From 1939 to 1945, Corporal Adolph Hitler, with an army of Nazis, sympathizers, and the deafening silence of the whole world, exterminated six million Jews in Europe. From 2005 to 2009, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, President of Iran, worked feverishly to build a couple of nukes with which to kill six million Jews in Israel. From 2008 to 2009, Comrade Carlo Strenger, Professor of Psychology at Tel Aviv University, with an army of local secularists, inspired pogroms in Ramat Aviv to scare away Orthodox Jews. (Added by Mordecai)

I would hereby like to nominate Professor Carlo Strenger, from the department of psychology at Tel Aviv University, for the Philistine of the Year Award.

Strenger is a far-leftist hater of Israel and Zionism who regularly explains to Haaretz readers why Israel is a horrible state unworthy of existence, but the Hamas is really misunderstood (A collection of Strengerism can be found here). But today Strenger goes beyond that to support hooligan violence against Orthodox Jews! Really!

The background to this is the continuing campaign of intimidation and violence by ultra-secularists in Ramat Aviv, where Strenger lives and where his Tel Aviv University is located, against Orthodox Jews. The ultra-secularists claim there is a cabal by the Orthodox to “take over” the neighborhood. You know, like the Elders of Zion. Read more >

The Pope’s recent visit to Bethlehem was one of the most blatant displays of capitulation to terrorism that has been seen in recent years. How well I remember the way Christians were treated by Arafat’s henchmen, including Mahmoud Abbas his right hand man, during the Intifada. The Christian community was decimated, and is now only twenty percent of the population, when it was once the majority. Christian girls were kidnapped, raped, and forced to convert to Islam. Christians were kicked out of their homes by gunmen, who used Christian neighborhoods to set up sniper nests from which they shot into Jewish homes in Jerusalem’s Gilo neighborhood, and passing cars on the road (Dr. Shmuel Gillis, on whom I patterned the hero of my book, The Covenant, was killed on his way home from treating cancer patients at Hadassah Hospital by such a sniper.)

And then there was the siege of the Church of the Nativity. The priests and children held hostage by Arafat’s gunmen. The church desecrated. Priests holding up signs at the windows to Israeli soldiers “Please help us!”

The Pope, standing side by side with Abbas, chose to forget these things.

His words:

“Mr. President, the Holy See supports the right of your people to a sovereign Palestinian homeland in the land of your forefathers, secure and at peace with its neighbors, within internationally recognized borders.” Read more >
