EU issues second document blasting Israel

Document critiques Israel for anti-democratic bills, anti-Arab discrimination, not prosecuting settler violence.

The EU use every possibility to attack Benjamin Netanyahu for his defense of Biblical Zionism.

For the second day in a row, the European Union issued a document that had some harsh words for Israel, saying a spate of “potentially discriminatory or even anti-democratic bills” were tabled in the Knesset, and blasting Jerusalem for not prosecuting those responsible for settler violence.

The criticism came in an annual document summarizing the political and economic situation in Israel as part of the EU’s review of its partnership with other countries, known as the European Neighborhood Policy.

While saying that the IDF recently stepped up interventions against settlement violence, the report said the overwhelming majority of cases filed with the Israel Police against such attacks were closed without indictment.

In addition, the report found “media freedom, freedom of expression and freedom of assembly remained problematic in the occupied Palestinian territory in 2011.”

It also said Palestinian economic and social rights remained “hampered by Israeli restrictions on the freedom of movement,” and that “the risk of forced displacement of Bedouin communities increased.”

It also said women’s rights in the country “have become the subject of increasing debate as a result of a more aggressive attitude on the part of the ultra-Orthodox groups.”

My comment:

Who said Israel is perfect?

But is the EU perfect?

The European Union should clean up its own mess before pointing fingers towards others.

There have been violence in the EU too over the last years. But Israel do not try to police the Europeans, and tries to support those who want to demonize Europe or true to delegitimize the whole continent.

The UN kept and prolongs a «Palestinian refugee problem»

Without UN funding, the issue of Palestinian refugees would have gone away a long time ago.

Prof. Nitza Nachmias claims the Arabs created their own refugee problem.

This is a statement by Prof. Nitza Nachmias of the Jewish-Arab Center in Haifa University. She says that it wasn’t for UNRWA and its half-billion dollar annual budget, the Palestinian refugee problem would have been solved long ago.

There is no such thing as Palestinian refugees. If people would stop calling the places in which they live ‘refugee camps,’ then they would see that these places are just like villages and towns anywhere else, and the inhabitants are totally rehabilitated, Nachmias told Arutz Sheva’s Shimon Cohen on Sunday.

She continued:
«Refugee camps are like the maabarot [in which Israel housed its hundreds of thousands of new immigrants from North Africa and elsewhere] in the 1950’s or the camps now in Haiti – not the villages with streets and stone houses in what is known as Palestinian refugee camps of today».

«They are rehabilitated better than refugees who are not supported by UNRWA», Nachmias said. «Practically, factually and legally, there is no such thing as ‘Palestinian refugees.’ … Refugee camps are a fiction, and most of those who claim to be refugees have already been integrated into other countries».

Prof. Nachmias, a senior researcher at the Jewish-Arab Center who also teaches in Asheklon College and the University of Maryland, feels that Israel has taken the wrong approach in dealing with this issue:

«We can’t simply push it off to the ‘final status talks’ and say, -We don’t accept the demand for the right-of-return because it will destroy the Jewish character of our state-

What do they care about our Jewish character?

If they deserve to be here, then it’s tough luck on us! Rather, Israel should take a pro-active approach, basing itself on international law and precedents, and declare that the Palestinian refugee issue no longer exists. They are no longer refugees». ”

Rules for Palestinians are Different?

«According to international law,” Nachmias explains, “a refugee is an individual or family that was forced to run away – but this definition does not extend to children [of the original refugees], a community or a group. The only exception to this rule is the Palestinians, for whom the international laws are apparently different»

If it wasn’t for UNRWA, Nachmias indicates, the issue of Palestinian refugees would have gone away a long time ago:

A lucky Islamic soldier. Fed by United Nations, and kept in camps as a tool used by Islam to target Israel.

«UNRWA is [no longer] a welfare agency, but rather an international employment agency for the Palestinians. UNRWA has 30,000 Palestinian employees, with 100 international experts at the helm. It is the biggest employer of Palestinians, and has an annual budget of a half-billion dollars. I discovered documents of pension funds of over a billion dollars a year, managed by brokers in Switzerland. All this for what is defined as a ‘welfare agency’ whose mandate is renewed every three years».

My comment:

Why is there no Jewish refugees today?

What happened to 800.000 Jews who were forced to leave Arab countries and Persia?

The answer is simple. The state of Israel absorbed them, and gave them citizenship, along with two million Muslims that refused to flee the war zone because of Arabic pressure.

What happened to the Muslims that declined David Ben Gurion`s offer to stay behind in Israel?

What happened to the Arabs who were told by Arabs that they would return to a new Arab nation, as soon as the Jewish Zionist state was defeated?

These Arab Muslims left Israel, lost the war, and ended up in so-called «Palestinian refugee camps». Fooled by their own Arab brethren, They were all quickly denied citizenship in 21 Arabic nations. The truth is that Arabs made their own Muslim brethren «eternal refugees», to be used as a political tool in the never ending bid to destroy the winner, the Jewish state.

Cartoon of the day # 327

A good Cartoon often tells the story in a better way than 1000 words

Egypt to remain a military dictatorship

We will not allow ‘another Khomeini’ to take control of Egypt, army says.

The Egyptian army does not trust the Muslim Brotherhood. The military wants to keep their control over the Egyptian nation.

Members of ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces tell Egyptian daily that they would not permit Egypt to be ruled by religious extremists.

Egypt’s military rulers have said they will not allow religious “extremist factions” to control the country, the Al Masry Al Youm newspaper reported Tuesday.
“Egypt will not be ruled by another Khomeini,” members of Supreme Council of the Armed Forces were quoted in the report as saying at a meeting with newspaper editors.

Source: Israeli daily Haaretz.

My comment:

In 1979, it was the Muslim Brotherhood who assassinated President Anwar Saddat. The Egyptian army has not forgotten.

The Egyptians are not free to elect whom ever they wants to be their leader.

That the military wants to be the final tribunal over who will run the Egyptian statehood, is a classical mark of a military dictatorship.

It is not a secret that for the last 40 years, the generals in Egypt have not felt that Democracy is the best way to run the country. Neither has Washington felt that this is the best way to govern Egypt.

All dictators have the same slogan. “It is me or chaos”. For Washington there are only two kinds of dictators. Those who are on on the payroll of the Pentagon, and those who are not.

Violence in Bahrain puts US 5th fleet at risk

The Bahrain Grand Prix is set to go ahead today despite the outbreak of violence that left an anti-government protester dead on a rooftop.

Violence in Bahrain is a concern for Washington. Not because human rights are violated, but because this is the base for the US 5th fleet.

Salah Habib Abbas, 37, is believed to have been killed by shotgun pellets fired by police as more rioting erupted on the eve of the Formula One race.

Crowds of masked protesters hurled petrol bombs at police, who fired tear gas back in the capital, Manama, yesterday, turning the streets into a battle zone just 24 hours before an event that demonstrators say glorifies repressive government.

The protesters were outraged by Abbas’s death, with around 7,000 marchers holding banners calling for democratic reforms. Some banners depicted Formula One race car drivers as riot police beating up protesters.

The violence broke out despite the security forces deploying armoured vehicles in Manama and on the main road leading to the racetrack.

My comments:

Who cares for the planned snobbish multi million motor race in Bahrain?

The Shia uprising in Bahrain is rather a threat to the US 5th fleet.

If Saudi Arabia had exported carrots and fish, Washington would not have placed the base of a full Navy armada inside the Persian Gulf.

Iran is not happy with the US-Saudi nexus. Because it limits the spread of the Iranian revolution.

Only when the 5th fleet is gone, the Iranian domain of the Middle East will be completed. For Iran it is a mystery why NATO supported Islamic Jihad in Libya. The US tries to play on all sides of the table, in a bid to not go bankrupt.

If the petrol prizes doubles, and stay high for 6 months, there will not only be widespread riots in Bahrain. But also in cities like Los Angeles and Tulsa Oklahoma.

Jesus the Messiah warns us. At the end of the age of grace, there will be wickedness, corruption and violence everywhere.  If the last days had not been shortened for the sake of His elect, Non of us would be able to survive.

 Matthew 24:22
If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.

Joe Biden blame Middle East for higher oil price

The US Vice President Joe Biden blames everyone in the Middle East for higher prices at the petrol pumps.

Joe Biden is only one heart beat from the Presidency of the USA.

Vice-President Biden blamed higher oil prices on “talk about war with Iran”.

He fear that Iran might “take out the Saudi oil fields and Bahraini oil fields”.

Biden is concerned about the Arab Spring movement; the “war in Libya”; the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood; and a potential for unforeseen political unrest, such as “chaos in Russia.”

Oil prices are going up because the world economy is consuming more oil and supply has not increased to meet the demand.

One might argue that the market should price strategic risk into the oil price, but the fact is that markets are not especially good at assigning prices to possible events whose probability can’t be measured.

The price of oil tracks economic growth expectations. It is statistically absurd to seek another reason. The problem is not risk, but supply. The only way to reduce gas prices is to drill for more oil.

My comment:

Vice President Joe Biden should make America her self take the blame for the present chaos in the Middle East.

Five per cent of the Worlds population live in the US. They consume 20 per cent of the global resources. 25 per cent of Americans consumption of oil has to be shipped out from the Persian Gulf.

To protect her self interests, the US has based her 5th fleet in Bahrain. That Saudi Arabia is a totalitarian Islamic dictatorship is not one of Joe Bidens concerns.  As long as the American dream lives in, to hell with human rights, freedom and democracy for the people of the Middle East. The Saudi oil fields must be protected at all costs.

Up to the day of the fall of Hosni Mubarak, He was presented as a “peace maker” in the Middle East. Likewise did Gaddafi receive a red carpet welcome in cities like Rome and Paris.

Joe Biden represents the ugly American face of unlimited double standards and hypocrisy.

Religious Leaders Push for a Palestinian State

After Obama’s Middle East speech calling for a divided Israel, Religious Leaders write President Obama, urging him to take immediate action before it’s too late.

Political and religous leaders surround Israel on every side, demanding a deathly compromise.

More than 25 different organizations of Jewish, Muslim and Christian faith echo Obama’s pleas for Israel to return to an indefensible 1967 borders. They are hoping that Obama can push the deal over the edge for the sake of  “peace.”

Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, archbishop emeritus of Washington, and Bishop Howard J. Hubbard of Albany, New York, chairman of the Committee on International Justice and Peace of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), were among the signers.

They urged Obama to visit Jerusalem soon and meet with Israeli and Palestinian leader to restart negotiations soon.

The letter  stated:

“the United States, in coordination with the Quartet, should continue to respond carefully to the new Palestinian unity agreement and not act precipitously to cut off aid to the Palestinians,” but said the Palestinian “unity government must commit itself to rejecting violence and negotiating a peace agreement with Israel.”

Leaders promised their “prayers and public support for active, fair and firm U.S. leadership for peace” and they urged “Congress to support this effort.”

“the United States, in coordination with the Quartet, should continue to respond carefully to the new Palestinian unity agreement and not act precipitously to cut off aid to the Palestinians,” but said the Palestinian “unity government must commit itself to rejecting violence and negotiating a peace agreement with Israel.”

The leaders also plan on placing an advertisement in Politco  media-outlet.

My Comment:

Israel is surrounded on every side. We know this is really a spiritual battle. We know this must happen, because it is written about in the Bible. However, the Lord is bigger and greater than all of Israel’s enemies and has not forgotten His people.

The inter-religious push for a divided Israel is the work of the antichrist and world leaders lust for a false peace that will bring world religion into view. They will do all they can to achieve it, including selling their own souls.

There will be no peace until King Jesus returns.

President Obama now says he was misunderstood.  But the American people know better. Obama’s speech has been received with quite a back-lash from Americans. They continue to stand with Israel no matter what the President says and know his request was ridiculous and absurd. The President now has to make damage-control a priority, saying it was all a misunderstanding.

But there is no misunderstanding;  it’s the game plan of the antichrist. And those who seek the scriptures know how it all ends. Pray for the peace of Israel and for all of it’s inhabitants to accept Jesus and Lord, King and Savior.

Ezekiel 13:10

“‘Because they lead my people astray, saying, “Peace,” when there is no peace, and because, when a flimsy wall is built, they cover it with whitewash,

Jeremiah 8:11

They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. “Peace, peace,” they say, when there is no peace.

UK-French drone documents stolen by spys

A briefcase filled with documents relating to a new Franco-British drone project has been stolen at the Gare du Nord station in Paris, reports say.

A drone is a robot. The pilot can sit in a house miles away from the target and deliver a bomb.

Police have been examining closed circuit film to discover who took the papers, reportedly on 2 February.

UK PM David Cameron discussed a plan for pilot-less drones with President Nicolas Sarkozy last week.

French developer Dassault Aviation says no sensitive documents were taken and the project’s security is not at risk.

The BBC’s Christian Fraser in Paris says the bilateral development plan is the biggest since the two countries recently agreed to share defense assets.

According to a report in Le Parisien newspaper, the briefcase was stolen when a senior Dassault Aviation official buying a Eurostar rail ticket went to the help of a colleague who was being bothered by a young man.

When the official returned to retrieve his case, it had disappeared. It is thought his attention was deliberately diverted while an accomplice made off with the case.

My comments:

If Iran gets drones, the Islamic regime does not need suicide bombers any more.

The hot stuff can be delivered by robots.  Just like America does in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

For Israel, Islamic militants armed with drones is a horrific scenario.  Any Israeli leader can be targeted by small drones, that can fly into Israel below radar range.

The age of terror is soon reaching the zenith.

«Jews are enemies of Allah and humanity – Kill them»

PA TV calls the Jews the enemies of God and humanity, and compared Jews to Nazis.

 

Palestinian and Islam TV sprears venom in Arabic against the Jewish people.

A sermon calling for the genocide of Jews was broadcast Friday by which is under the control of PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas. The speech called the Jews the enemies of God and humanity, and compared Jews to Nazis.

The following is the transcript of excerpts of the hate speech in a mosque broadcast on PA TV:

«The loathsome occupation in Palestine – its land and its holy places – by these new Mongols and what they are perpetrating upon this holy, blessed and pure land – killing, assassination, destruction, confiscation, Judaization, harassment and splitting the homeland – are clear proof of [unintelligible word - Ed.] hostility, of incomparable racism, and of Nazism of the 20th century».

«The Jews, the enemies of Allah and of His Messenger, the enemies of Allah and of His Messenger! Enemies of humanity in general, and of Palestinians in particular – they wage war against us using all kinds of crimes, and as you see – even the mosques are not spared their racism».

«Oh Muslims! The Jews are the Jews. The Jews are the Jews. Even if donkeys would cease to bray, dogs cease to bark, wolves cease to howl and snakes to bite, the Jews would not cease to harbor hatred towards Muslims. The Prophet said that if two Jews would be alone with a Muslim, they would think only of killing him. Oh Muslims!

 

Palestinian-TV spread the message of hate, destruction and death.

 

This land will be liberated, these holy places and these mosques will be liberated, only by means of a return to the Quran and when all Muslims will be willing to be Jihad Fighters for the sake of Allah and for the sake of supporting Palestine, the Palestinian people, the Palestinian land, and the holy places in Palestine».

Mahmoud Abbas do simply not tell the truth.

The Prophet says: «You shall fight the Jews and kill them, until the tree and the stone will speak and say: ‘Oh Muslim, Oh servant of Allah’ – the tree and the stone will not say, ‘Oh Arab,’ they will say, ‘Oh Muslim’. And they will not say, ‘Where are the millions?’ and will not say, ‘Where is the Arab nation?’ Rather, they will say, ‘

Oh Muslim, Oh servant of Allah – there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.’ Except for the Gharqad tree [tree mentioned in the Quran - Ed.], which is the tree of the Jews. Thus, this land will be liberated only by means of Jihad..»

Abbas denies there are hate messages

In a recent interview with the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, Abbas proudly declared that there is no more incitement in the mosques:

«They [Israel] said there is a problem with incitement in speeches in mosques during Friday prayers. Today there is no more incitement at any mosque». he [Abbas] said.” [Haaretz, Dec. 16, 2009]

Hamas son: Islam is a religion that teaches people to kill

Islam is not a religion of peace. The biggest terrorist is the God of the Quran.

In the past he admired suicide bombers. Now he warns about the god of the Koran.

This is a statement of Mosab Hassan Yousef, who helped Israel’s security forces in their fight against the Islamic militant group Hamas.

 «I know this is very dangerous and this will offend many people. The more you follow the steps of the prophet of Islam and the God of Islam, the more you get close to being a terrorist».

Yousef got a story to tell in his new book «Son of Hamas».
«To be honest with you, being killed is not the worst thing that can happen», he said Wednesday in an interview with The Associated Press. «If they want to do kill me … let them do it, and they will be responsible for my blood.».

In his memoir, Yousef, the 32-year-old son of a Hamas founder, claims he was one of the Shin Bet security agency’s best assets and was dubbed The Green Prince, a reference to his Hamas pedigree and the Islamists’ signature green color.

During his 50-minute interview, for which he arrived with armed security, Yousef criticized Hamas leaders including political chief Khaled Meshaal. He lashed out at Hamas, saying the organization lives in the Middle Ages.

And he hurled his most inflammatory comments at Islam, which he called a religion that teaches people to kill.

Source: Jerusalem Post

My comment:

It is amazing to see that Christian leaders have started to defend Islam. While Muslim converts, who know the “god of Islam”, warns against the religion they once practiced.

Who are we going to listen to?

Rome has already made peace with Islam, and the Roman Catholic Church and Mecca is going to form an end time religious platform in the name of peace. A big compromise outside of the truth. And any Christian who believe this is the right path, should listen to this «son of Hamas».
