In a way it is nice to see the veneer of politics coming off and something approximating what they really think being revealed. That muslims simply cannot tolerate any land being autonomously controlled by non-muslims. And that this is about antisemitism and islamic supremacism and not about the fiction of Israel’s right to exist in any rational debate.

Arabs Fly Nazi Flag near Hevron
One really should be grateful when the deception phase ends and the overt statement of intentions are shown. The Israelis should be grateful for this and Jewish people world wide had better take note. This is no prank or isolated incident. It is however, an indication of Islamic policy.

Confirmation that Israeli warplanes have carried out a series of air strikes in Syria against consignments of missiles being shipped to Hizbollah in southern Lebanon has highlighted Iran’s attempts to reinforce its regional allies in anticipation of military conflict with Israel.
As I revealed last month, recent intelligence reports indicate that Iran has revived its efforts to ship weapons to the radical Hamas movement in Gaza. Following negotiations between members of the Quds force from Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, Sudanese government officials and Hamas leaders earlier this year, Iran has chartered a number of Boeing 747 cargo planes to smuggle weapons to Hamas via Sudan.
Syria says Damascus targeted by fresh Israeli strike
Times of Israel:
State TV reports military site on outskirts of capital hit by Israeli rockets; IDF declines to comment; Hezbollah claims Israeli plane shot down; Jerusalem reportedly hit Iranian missile shipment in Damascus on Friday
Syrian state television reported Israel struck an area near Damascus early Sunday morning, the second such strike reported in as many days.
The report, cited by Reuters, claimed Israeli rockets hit a military research site on the outskirts of the capital, and smoke could be seen rising from the area. The Jamarya site was the same one reportedly hit by Israeli planes in January.

Israel bombed a weapons shipment headed for Hizbullah on Friday, an Israeli source confirmed Saturday. The source spoke after American media outlets reported the strike.
Israel has not officially commented on the alleged strike.
A diplomatic source in Lebanon told the AFP news agency that the operation destroyed surface-to-air missiles recently delivered by Russia that were being stored at Damascus airport.
The Israeli source confirmed that the strike targeted “game-changing” weaponry, but not chemical weapons.
Lebanon’s army said pairs of Israeli airplanes entered Lebanese airspace three times overnight. The first two entered over the southern city of Sidon at 7:10 PM (1610 GMT), followed three hours later by a second pair that entered over Jounieh north of Beirut, a statement said.

Israel is justified in protecting itself from advanced weapons shipments to Lebanon-based militant group Hizbullah, United States President Barack Obama said Saturday, the AFP news agency reports. Obama spoke following reports that Israel had bombed a weapons shipment bound for Hizbullah.
Obama joined Israeli officials in declining to comment on the reported strike, saying he would let Israel “confirm or deny whatever strikes they have taken.”
“What I have said in the past and I continue to believe is that the Israelis justifiably have to guard against the transfer of advanced weaponry to terrorist organizations like Hizbullah,” the president told Spanish-language Telemundo television during a trip to Mexico and Central America.
A thought, and possible partial solution for Israel.
If there are any major government officials reading this site please consider the following idea as a way of dealing with one of the thorns in your side now for many years.
It works like this:
1. Rename the security fence, ‘The Great Wall of Jerusalem’. Claim it was built thousands of years ago to keep the barbarian invaders out.
2. Pay for a few hundred leftists and a film crew to go to China and protest the newly dubbed, ‘Apartheid wall’ that China built for exactly the same reason as Israel built hers, but point out the actual and factual stunning lack of diversity inside the Chinese apartheid wall and profound and enriching diversity outside of it and hey presto! at least that is one less thing for Israel to have to constantly defend itself about.

Reuters does criminally dishonest headline on Israeli response to hostile fire
The story:
Jihadis in Syria fire into Israel and Israel responds by destroying machine gun emplacements.
How does Reuters spin the headline?
Israel fires into Syria after Golan attack on troops
JERUSALEM | Sun Mar 24, 2013 8:07am EDT
(Reuters) – Israel said it fired into Syria on Sunday and destroyed a machinegun position in the Golan Heights from where shots had been fired at Israeli soldiers in a further spillover of the Syrian civil war along a tense front.
It was not immediately clear whether Israel held Syrian troops or rebels responsible for what a spokesman for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said had been a deliberate attack on Israeli patrols in the occupied territory.
It is stunning how the mass media manages to make it look like Israel is the aggressor when it is defending itself from aggression and usually with phenomenal restraint given all they did was destroy the equipment used to attack them.
