My apologies if I have posted this already. But as I see in my day to day life absurd posters on every lamppost advertising a benefit against “The Apartheid regime of Israel” etc. ad-nauseum, I feel now and again its nice to have a reality check.

(Reuters) – Lebanese Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah acknowledged on Thursday sending a drone aircraft that was shot down last weekend after flying some 25 miles into Israel.
Nasrallah said in a televised speech that the drone’s parts were manufactured in Iran and it was assembled by members of the Shi’ite Muslim militant movement in Lebanon. He confirmed a statement by Israel’s prime minister earlier in the day saying that Hezbollah was behind the drone flight.

Egypt’s foremost Muslim Brotherhood official called on the Arab world Thursday to replace negotiations with Israel with “holy Jihad,” claiming that if Jews are allowed to pray on the Temple Mount they will destroy the Al-Aqsa Mosque and supplant it with the third temple.
Mohammed Badie, Supreme Guide of the Muslim Brotherhood, declared in a public message published by Egyptian daily Al-Ahram that “the Zionists only understand force,” and that Arabs cannot hope to achieve justice from the Jews “through the corridors of the United Nations or through negotiations.”
3 rockets explode in south
I wonder. Are there any actual Muslim countries that are not at war with non-Muslim neighbors?

Attack on the south continues: Three Qassam rockets exploded Tuesday, two near Sderot and one in the town of Netivot. In both cases, the rockets hit open areas and no injuries or damage were reported.
Against the backdrop of political unease, in light of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu‘s Tuesday announcement that the elections for the Knesset will be held earlier than expected, Sderot Mayor David Buskila commented: “Israel is heading toward election when there are still unresolved defense issues.”

“The continuous rocket fire towards Israel indicates that something has happened to our ability to deter,” Buskila continued. “We shouldn’t let those who threaten us determine the agenda. At the moment, they’re the ones who decide that we won’t get any sleep at night, when we will wake up, or when we will run to the shelters – and we have no say in the matter.
“I think that when it comes to this threat, it would be best if the current government would hold office for one more year, until the end of its term, so that it would be able to address those issues and find a solution.”

IDF SHOOTS DOWN UNMANNED AIRCRAFT IN NORTHERN NEGEV
In other words, a DRONE
Israeli PM, Benyamin Netanyahu:
We will continue to defend our borders at sea, on land and in the air for the safety of the citizens of Israel.
IAF shoots down unmanned aerial vehicle in northern Negev

UAV enters Israel’s airspace from Mediterranean, shot down by IAF F-16s in open area; origin of craft unknown; IDF believes UAV sent to gather intel; PM: “We will continue to defend our borders in the sea, land and air.”
The Israel Air Force on Saturday shot down an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that had crossed into Israel’s airspace and flew over settlements and military bases in the Negev on Saturday morning, according to the IDF Spokesman’s Office.
The unmanned aerial vehicle was shot down at around 10am in an open area in the northern Negev by the IAF. The IDF said the UAV was spotted entering Israeli airspace from the Mediterranean sea heading from West to East.
From the moment that it was identified, a squadron of F16I fighter jets were scrambled from the Ramon airbase in the Negev, and accompanied the UAV.
The air force was able to shoot down the UAV at any time, but chose to fly along with it for several minutes. IDF ground forces collected the fragments and were analyzing them.
For safety reasons, the air force took a decision to shoot down the UAV over the northern Negev. IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Benny Gantz received real-time updates throughout the incident, the IDF said.
The IDF did not believe that the UAV was on an attack mission, but rather sent to gather intelligence. There were no explosives attached to the air craft, and it did not originate in the Gaza Strip, contrary to Palestinian reports.
DC judge to rule on placing of Israel Vs. Savages posters in DC subways
Frankly, if you do not allow the term savage to be applied to the acts committed by jihadis, then we really need to do away with the word altogether.
This is what an honest and decent Palestinian looks and sounds like.
And it’s a rare sight

“Actually, most of the Palestinians are angry with and hate their Arab ‘brothers’ more than they are angry with or hate the Jews. I have never heard about a Palestinian woman dying of cancer and one of the neighboring Arab countries, Lebanon for example, helping her. But I’ve heard of plenty of cases where hospitals in Israel have offered help,” said Mudar Zahran, 39, a lecturer and publicist — and a Palestinian blogger — in an interview with Israel Hayom. Zahran participated in an international seminar on new media and public diplomacy given by the Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs Ministry this week.

Douglas Murray: Israeli attack on Iran a certainty
H/T George Igler
FWIW, my opinion:
Iran already have several nukes they probably bought from N Korea and/or Pakistan. They are currently in the process of attempting to create the right climate that will allow them to use them with some plausible excuse to prevent international retaliation post hoc.
Hence the rash of attempted assassinations and ‘false flag ops’ from Africa to Washington.
Pam Geller’s new poster vandalized by leftist, so sanctimonious she can’t even see why she was arrested
Well. That didn’t take long did it?
She illustrated Ms. Geller’s point rather well though I thought. I hope she was charged with assault with a chemical weapon on top of vandalism etc.

Cops busted a lone protester — angry with subway ads equating enemies of Israel as “savages” — as she spray-painted over one of the controversial signs today.
A Post camera crew captured the bizarre conflict between suspect Mona Eltahawy, 45, and a woman defending the ads.
Here is that same woman describing the Egyptian Muslims as “wild beasts”. So i guess wild beasts is fine but savages are not. OK then.
