1. BBC attempts to spin Gaza conflict into Israeli atrocity
2. Muslim mob kills a woman and her 2 Grandchildren
(This video is much more important than the initial impression that the average Western person is likely to have upon viewing, which is to say a bunch of brainwashed savages killing people for trivial reasons.
It is in fact a glimpse into the actual problem with sharia law, much more problematic in the implementation and process than in the punishments. We can debate the value of the death penalty with our fellow Western citizens and even the merits or repulsion of inflicting suffering on the guilty. But the real problem with sharia is both the nature of what they view as a crime, and the method they use to determine guilt, and then the application of the punishment, all of which we would dismiss as mob rule or savagery.
It is not either one. It is the codified application of sharia, in Pakistan, in London, in Ottawa and everywhere you see muslims targeting certain people with violence. In many cases, islam itself through the Reliance of the Traveler actually demand these actions as compulsory.)
3. Twin sons of prominent councillor convicted of armed street attack
The twin sons of a prominent Bradford councillor have been given suspended custodial sentences after admitting an armed street attack.
Nineteen-year-olds Mohsin and Hassan Hussain – whose father is Keighley Central Labour Cllr Abid Hussain – had pickaxe handles, while a third defendant, Aqeeb Khalifa, was armed with a baseball bat during the attack.
4. Palestinian fighters raid Israel on Gaza “truce” day
(Reuters) – Palestinian fighters slipped into an Israeli village from the Gaza Strip and fought a gun battle with troops on Monday as an unofficial truce called for the Muslim Eid al-Fitr festival disintegrated. The clash, in which Israeli television said five gunmen were killed and the Islamist Hamas movement said it had killed 10 Israeli soldiers, appeared to wreck international hopes of turning a brief lull in fighting into a longer-term ceasefire.
5. Commonwealth Games Scottie dogs ‘disrespectful to Muslims’
(This begs the question: Is there any aspect to any of our non-muslim customs, practices and culture that is not offensive to muslims. The answer of course is no)

Malaysian politicians and religious leaders have attacked the use of Scottie dogs during the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony, claiming it was disrespectful to Muslims.

6. Facebook Says ‘Death To Jews’ Group Falls Within Community Standards
(Earlier this week we reported on a friend of hours who received a 2 hour ban from Facebook-reporting, just for reporting the site for jihadis posting pictures of French Jews in order to attack them. Subsequently one French Jewish person at least in fact was attacked due to that page and FB reconsidered and banned it)
Social networking website Facebook has stated that a group created by anti-Semitic users entitled, “Death to zionst [sic] baby killer israeli jews” falls within its Community Standards guidelines, despite inciting hatred and violence against a particular race.
Philip Klein of the Washington Examiner originally reported the news, stating: “A Facebook page calling for the death of Israeli Jews does not violate the social network’s “community standards,” according to multiple messages sent by Facebook in response to user complaints.”
Breitbart London can also confirm that a number of other Facebook groups, including “Death to Muslims” and “Death to radical baby killer Iraqi Muslims” continue to exist, though it is unclear whether or not these have been complained about to Facebook.

Women in the Israeli reserves are being called up in unprecedented numbers.
http://www.timesofisrael.com/women-reservists-called-up-in-unprecedented-numbers/
I can think of several reasons for this but the all boil down to saying Israel is not going to stop soon, they are going to keep attacking for a long time.
Some of the littlest kids are coming here for a little while. I don’t have concrete info yet.
We’re delighted for kids to come, if possible.
About the only thing we here can do, take the burden off these families and show them how much we care.
During WWII the US and Canada took in a lot of British kids who parents were either fighting or dead.
Kids aged 8-13 are here! August session of overnight camp in New Hampshire! Pretty basic — no horses, no luxury — but kids from all over, great spirit. We scrounged to last penny so their kits are complete except for name tags.
It’s the least we can do.
Good they need to be some place relatively safe.
Younger kids are about to arrive. They’re going to Orthodox families with lots of kids.
The old policy of Women and Children first is survival of the clan/ethnic group it isn’t but if is what allows societies to survive, after all women and kids are the source of and the future of the society. Men are necessary but without the women and kids the society is at a dead end.
A child is Jewish if the mother is Jewish.
But these little kids are just dear little kids. We’re taking sick children now, those who need the most attention.

Caroline Glick:
“Here’s the YouTube of my briefing on Capitol Hill last Friday about the war in Gaza and its significance for regional events and Israeli strategic thinking.’

Caroline Glick is good.
Israel should stop giving land for peace. It stupid beyond words. On the contrary, if Arab Muslim s attack Israel, and as a consequence lose territory, then Israel should annexe the said territory as compensation.
That will stop the Jihad, as losing Muslim territory to Infidels, is the worst of all crimes in the eyes of allah. No virgins etc.
Nobody in Israel wants Syria, Iraq, or Jordan.
Wrote this in 2012.
The real tragedy is that Israel has lost the opportunity to acquire strategic defensive land.
If in the eighties, Israel had openly announced, that terrorism against Israel would lead not just to retaliation, but the permanent non-negotiable incorporation of parts of Judea and Samaria into Israel, it would have stopped the Jihad immediately. The Jihadis or Hamas would also have discouraged their Marxist allies to stop provoking Israel, for that would lead to loss of territory.
Such a policy would have earned Israel not just respect, but strategic as well as historic land, that should be in historic Israel. It would make clear to America and Europe, that Israel was not a pushover, its strategic interests traded to the Arabs by the West for their own interests, but had to be treated with respect.
Frankly, Israel’s present dire predicament lies not with Hamas or the Lefty Westerners, but with its past leaders, and those who elected them.
Its not too late to start.
Exactly right.
Thanks Yucki for linking to Caroline’s talk.
I’m glad you watched. Painful, isn’t it?
One thing that Israel has never understood, is that America’s influence with the Islamic world rests on the assumption, that it is the only country that has influence to extract concessions from Israel.
Two things follow from this
1. The more Israel gives away, the less it will have, and thus less influence it has with America.
2. The more America forces Israel to give, the less influence it has with the Arabs as well as Israel.
It is therefore not in the interest of America to force Israel to give anything.
If Israel shows its displeasure at the one sided concessions that America is demanding from Israel, and walks away, then America has no hand to play, and the Arabs know it as well.
Another thing. Obama is desperate to show the Arab/Muslim world that he is their true friend. The corollary is that he is no friend of Israel. There is no need for Israel to do any favours for a man who is not a friend of Israel. The more Kerry and Obama protest that they are true friends of Israel, the more reason there is to be suspicious of them.
It is therefore necessary for Israel to sidestep Obama, as diplomatically as possible.
Appeasement never works, a lesson of history that the delusional peace at any cost people never learn.
Israel is coming to grips with that. It’s hard to lose your best friend.
Some Israelis, anyway. The leftists there are at least as bad as those here. And they’re not immune from rockets. Their kids are in just as much danger.
What’s shocking is that both left and right came together to slam this illegitimate administration. As well as Abbas and King Abdullah of Jordan.
With luck they haven’t lost their best friend for long, the length of time we stab them in the back will depend on how long the left controls the White House. Just remember if a Democrat wins in 16 they will probably be as bad or worse.
Don’t put much faith in RINOs.
I have no faith in RINO’s I do have faith in the American people, and everyone I know supports Israel.
Yes! The polls show overwhelming support.
I linked an expanded version of Caroline Glick’s speech to the congressional committee. Q&A’s are very good.
The reaction of Congress to Obm’s slight-of-hand has been dynamite! Just read this morning how Cabinet members are making nice. Such a relief.
