Bush to Olmert: Why are you giving Syria the Golan for nothing?

It belies logic and reason that this crooked quisling should attempt to bring down the Jewish state as expeditiously as possible before he gets thrown out on his corrupt, bony ass.
How vile and abhorrent this clownish creep is. How dare he? Give Golan to Syria? Is he mad?

Bush to Olmert: Why are you giving Syria the Golan for nothing?

WASHINGTON - U.S. President George Bush believes that Israel is offering Syria the Golan Heights without getting anything in exchange, according to sources briefed on his White House meeting with Prime Minister Ehud Olmert last week.

After Olmert updated Bush on Israel's indirect talks with Syrian President Bashar Assad, the U.S. president demanded, "Why do you want to give Assad the Golan for nothing?" the sources said.

"It's not for nothing," Olmert insisted. "It's in exchange for a change in the region's strategic alignment."

Bush persisted: "Why should you believe him?" And to that, Olmert did not reply.

The Bush administration has long had reservations about Israel's talks with Syria and refuses to play any active role in them. Infuriated by Syria's involvement in anti-American terror in Iraq, as well as its undermining of Lebanon's fragile democracy, Bush preferred to invest his diplomatic capital in Israeli-Palestinian talks, while eschewing contacts with the Syrians.

Olmert tried to explain the strategic importance that Israel attaches to the talks with Syria, describing the Middle East as being defined by two axes: an extremist "horizontal axis" running from Iran via Syria to Hezbollah and Hamas, and a pragmatic "vertical axis" running from Turkey via Syria to Israel, Jordan and Egypt. Syria, Olmert argued, sits at the intersection of these two axes. Thus should it switch its allegiance to the "vertical axis," this would greatly weaken the extremists and strengthen the pragmatists.

Olmert also believes that Bashar Assad has moved much closer to Iran than his father Hafez ever did. Today, he said, Damascus is locked in an Iranian "bear hug" that threatens the very existence of its secular regime. That, combined with Syria's dismal economy, creates an opportunity to flip Assad into the moderate camp, the premier argued.

U.S. President-elect Barack Obama favors American dialogue with Syria, and would presumably agree to take an active role in Israeli-Syrian talks. Aaron Miller, a veteran of former president Bill Clinton's peace team, published an article in The Washington Post Saturday in which he urged Obama to adopt a "Syria first" strategy.

SHIMON PERES: "WE HAVE TO CLOSE OUR EYES"

Shimon Peres says we have to close our eyes for 'peace.'

This means totally ignoring the reality on the ground.  He outright stated that delusion is necessary for 'peace.' Amazing.  At least the old fool was honest. hat tip Raquel

AMERICA, DO NOT DESPAIR - PIGS FLYING IN THE MIDDLE EAST! AHMADINEJAD DYING, BIBI LEADS ISRAEL ELECTION, US LAUNCHES ATTACK IN SYRIA :)

In other news (sorRY guys I have been distracted by the lethal Marxist coup on the White House):

First Ahmadi Nejad may be dying, or at least he is very sick, how wonderful! Perhaps it was all that exposure to yellow cake. I pray for his speedy death.

Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said he is suffering from exhaustion, in a rare public disclosure apparently designed to combat rumors he is more seriously ill.

Secondly, Olmert's hack and  Condhimmi puppet, Tvipi Livni could not hobble together a coalition government so Israel will indeed have general elections. Likud  and Bibi Netanyahu are leading. Baruch HaShem!

Israel's political parties have already begun to prepare for a probable nationwide election, this after Kadima  Chairwoman Tzipi Livni informed  President Shimon Peres on Sunday that she had been unsuccessful in forming a new coalition government

And lastly but hardly least, the US went into Syria and kicked some ass. OORAH!

U.S. military helicopters launched an extremely rare attack Sunday on Syrian territory close to the border with Iraq, killing eight people in a strike the government in Damascus condemned as "serious aggression."

Now, if all of that happened in that couple of days, beating the Marxist Messiah a week from Tuesday should be a piece of (yellow) cake.

JEWS GIVE ANOTHER PIECE OF JERUSALEM AWAY to Russia

Every claim is legitimate, (sacred!)  to every religion or sovereignty that was born of or after the birth of Judaism but the Jewish people have no right to her rightful homeland. Ass frickin backwards.

David adds, "The Russians can grab any piece of Georgia they fancy at will, but Israel can't hold onto a courtyard in the heart of Jerusalem which is already under their control and will just become another Trojan horse. and I know the place".

Ministers okay Moscow's property claim J Post

The cabinet on Sunday voted to transfer ownership of Sergei's Courtyard in downtown Jerusalem's Russian Compound to the Russian government.

The move is the culmination of four years of negotiations, after then-Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is currently his country's prime minister, laid claim to the site on behalf of the Russian Orthodox Church.

Sergei's Courtyard currently houses offices of the Agriculture Ministry and the Nature and National Parks Protection Authority, and the Jerusalem branch of the Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel.

On Monday, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert will begin a two-day trip to Moscow. Israeli officials expect the Russians to raise the question of the transfer of Russian church property in Jerusalem.

Olmert had planned to visit Russia last month but the trip was put on hold due to the political uncertainty here.

Israeli officials rejected assertions that an outgoing prime minister should not be making such a trip, saying it was approved by both Defense Minister Ehud Barak, and Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni.

Iran's nuclear program and Israeli concerns over the sale of advanced Russian weapons to Syria are expected to top the talks' agenda.

The Legal Forum for the Land of Israel had said it would petition the High Court of Justice if the current caretaker government approves the transfer of Sergei's Courtyard. The group cited the decision by Supreme Court President Dorit Beinisch two weeks ago preventing the appointment of Supreme Court justices until a new government is formed.

In a letter sent on Friday to the prime minister, Cabinet Secretary Ovad Yehezkel and Attorney-General Menahem Mazuz, the forum wrote: "A caretaker government is not entitled to take important and irreversible decisions that the incoming government will have to deal with."

The transfer of "important property in the center of Jerusalem to a powerful foreign state with interests in this region and imperial designs" was no less important than the appointment of Supreme Court justices, the forum wrote.

Some Israeli officials had expressed concern that such a transfer could set a precedent for other property in the capital owned by the Russian, Greek and Roman Catholic churches. The Knesset and the Prime Minister's Office stand on land originally owned by the Greek Orthodox Church.

PROOF THERE IS A G-D! OLMERT RESIGNS!

Baruch Hashem!   Olmert hands in his official resignation.  Livni is Olmert II. CALL FOR GENERAL ELECTIONS!

UPDATE: She knows she'll lose:

Livni on the edge
Under these circumstances, and with everything Israelis have been through, what Israel really needs is an election. But Livni is having none of it.
She states, "I am not afraid of elections, and we in Kadima have no reason to worry about elections; they are just unnecessary." 
Polls suggest, however, that Livni would hardly be a shoe-in if elections were to be held (hat tip Van)

OLMERDE II: Lily Livered Livni Slithers into Power, no thanks to the Jewish vote

This post is hard to write.

At a time when global anstisemitism is spreading like AIDS of the soul and  the confluence of world events is clearly leading up to a perfect storm against the Jewish people ...... Israel has elected Condhimmi's wait staff.

Israel hands reins (and all hope for Israel) over to Olmert II - Tvipi Livni. How frickin depressing. I thought the Jews had a shot when Olmurderer was caught for the umpteenth time in his latest act of corruption and skulduggery. I have written little on recent developments in Israel because I am overwhelmed by the perfidy of Israel leadership and the apathy of the people of Israel. Israel is being served up cold to Islamic jihad.

It seemed a divine hand had given the Jewish people the opportunity to oust the treasonous traitor that was selling out the Jewish people to her enemies but that gift was recklessly wasted. *sigh*

Why can't Israel perform the simple task of electing a proud Jew, a a Jew that believes in national sovereignty and the rights of the Jewish people to live on their land. When I interviewed Bat Yeor on this jewicidal phenomena, she lamented, "Israel is unworthy of her ancestors". Emmis.

Livni is more of the same Jewicidal leadership the Jews suffered under Olmert. I saw her speak at AIPAC and prayed this day would never come.

Naomi Ragen writes:

There are 14,000 non-Jewish Kadima members among 74,000 total. Can you imagine?  A party with less than a hundred thousand members is running the country, giving away land, destroying Jewish settlements, negotiating over Jerusalem?

Shocking.

 

Caroline Glick calls "Mrs. Clean a fraud" (read it all):

Her basic dishonesty is expressed both in her political maneuverings and in her behavior as a policymaker. In both areas, she upholds herself as Mrs. Clean - the servant of all of us who are sickened, demoralized and revolted by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and his hordes of corrupt Kadima colleagues and staffers. But she is not our servant. Rather than serve us, like Olmert and her Kadima colleagues, she lies to us in a Olmert_livni continuous bid to expand her power.

Read it all. Worse still, it was the Muslim vote that delivered victory to the seat of power. Makes sense, it's who she serves.

From YNET.com:

  • Tzipi Livni has won the Kadima primary election with 43.1% (16,936 votes). Close behind was Shaul Mofaz with 42% (16,505 votes). Fourteen thousand of Kadima's 74,000 registered voters are not Jewish and, as of Wednesday evening, the non-Jewish sector had demonstrated the highest voting rate among party members. Among these, 6,900 are Druze, 4,600 are Muslim and the rest are Christian or Bedouin.

  • Deputy Foreign Minister Majalli Whbee, who coordinates party issues related to the non-Jewish sector, estimated that many Muslim members of Kadima would be going to vote late Wednesday night, following the Iftar feast (which marks the end of Ramadan).

  • "After the feast, voters will arrive (to polling stations) en masse," Whbee said confidently. He stated that, according to estimates, a quarter of the registered non-Jewish Kadima members had already voted. He believes that some 60% of Arab Kadima voters will vote by the end of the day.
[Explains why at the last minute Livni called for, and had, the voting hours extended. df]

  • Most of the polling stations are located in the north, in between the various Druze and Arab villages. The largest polling station is in the village of Shfaram, where it is believed that over a thousand voters will cast their ballot their by the end of the day.
From JPost:

  • In several polling stations, like Beit Jan in the North, Livni crushed Mofaz,..

Note that she just squeaked by and that the exit polls were all wrong, Sound familiar?

Questions to Adversaries of the Jewish state. by Dan Calic

Why is it that someone can say they support national movements, and yet oppose Zionism?

Why are there 22 Arab countries and the world doesn't have a problem with that, yet throw one Jewish country in the mix and you think the world was about to end.

The world hears public calls for the destruction of Israel again and again and does not Livnicondi82608 care. What would happen if Israel called for the destruction of her enemies just once?

Is the role of UN to accommodate destruction of Israel? - Hezbollah has rearmed itself with over 40,000 rockets and missiles in Lebanon, since the end of the '06 war, in flagrant violation of UN resolution 1701, while the UNIFIL has done absolutely nothing to stop them.

How can someone go to bed on June 4, 1967 as a Jordanian and wake up the next day as a Palestinian?

Why should it be Israel's responsibility to be responsible for self-imposed 'refugees', who have been supporting those who intended to destroy Israel?

How can Jews living on the land of their ancestors, given by G-d, be condemned but Islamic terrorism aimed at destruction of the state of Israel is widely tolerated and quietly supported by the international community?"

Olmert better be Careful .......... next they will come after him

Brauch Hashem! Perhaps the Jews will defend themselves even if the government won't.  ISRAEL is DYING FOR LEADERSHIP 

Yitzhar Residents Retaliate Against Terrorist

(IsraelNN.com) Residents of the Jewish community of Yitzhar retaliated against the nearby Palestinian Authority Arab village of Asira al-Kabaliya in Samaria after an Arab entered the Jewish town and stabbed a nine-year-old boy on the Sabbath.

Dozens of Jews poured into the Arab village, where it was believed the suspected terrorist resides. According to the villagers, the Jews damaged houses, overturned vehicles and shot rubber bullets as well as live ammunition at Arab residents. Villagers hurled rocks at the Jews until IDF soldiers arrived to break up the riot.

At least two Arabs sustained gunshot wounds.

Israel is not defending herself so as not to insult her executioneers.  Remember what Ben pointed out a couple of weeks ago?

The Phalanx C-RAM defense system guarding the Green Zone in Baghdad has destroyed Do_not_feed_the_alligators its 100th incoming mortar round.

C-RAM stands for Counter Rocket, Artillery, and Mortar, and it is development of the Phalanx system originally designed for air defense for the US armed forces. It has been re-engineered to destroy incoming rockets, artillery shells, and mortar rounds.  That is not easy.  These kinds of weapons are typically launched from very short range, and there are only seconds to react.  But the Phalanx C-RAM, thanks to its computer system, can do it.  Not perfectly, but well, and that is all you can ask of a weapon.

Go here: Defense Update

The C-RAM has been doing this for years, now, and a growing number of people have been asking, couldn't such a weapon intercept Qassam rockets coming out of Gaza? Yes, of course it could.  But Israeli politics seems to be allied with Palestinian rocket launchers in this case, and only now have the Israelis decided to "evaluate" a C-RAM. 

Every time the warning sirens sound in Sderot, remember that a simple phone call and a signature, and a few million dollars, would have had a capable, battle proven defense system spewing 6000 rounds of deadly accurate radar aimed 20 millimeter proximity fused ammunition at those incoming rockets. But the Israeli government has been dragging its feet.  The sordid and pitiful tale, the "flip side" of the stories of fear and horror stories coming out of Sderot, has been covered in the last few months by the defense weaponry geeks: GO HERE

CONDI GO HOME, TAKE OLMERDE - 200 TERRORISTS RELEASED TO CELEBRATE CONDI'S ARRIVAL

Olmert continues to commit acts of perfidy in his illegal occupation of the office of Prime Minister in Israel. Today he released close to 200  Jew killers into the general population to commit murder and mayhem. This in the name of the piss process. Snapped Shot has the media's ass kissing coverage of the release of the killers "kissing their mothers" - cheerleading the terrorists. No mention of the bereaved families of the victims.

According to an informal estimate by Israeli security bodies, about 50 percent of the terrorists freed for any reason whatsoever returned to the path of terror, either as a perpetrator, a planner, or as an accomplice. In the terror acts committed by these freed terrorists, hundreds of Israelis were murdered, and thousands were wounded.(more here)

Clearly, the release of Jew killers was timed to coincide with the arrival of the Grand Dhimmi and hatchet man for Islamic jihad, Condi Rice. Ghastly. This is her ninth visit in seven months. Exhausting. Why, in heaven's name isn't she pursuing the removal of Iran's nukes  or the NORK's nukes or a Russian pushback with such vigor and enthusiasm. You draw your own conclusion.

Condi, in her relentless pursuit of a bloody fantasy, believes she can satiate the blood lust of Islamic jihad with the subjugation of the Jews.  Dismantling Israel,  stronging arm the Jews into submission will acheive the opposite goal - it wil empower and embolden the growing imperialism of Islamic supremacy. Terrible, all of it.

ISRAEL RELEASES 198 "PALESTINIAN" PRISONERS Telegraph hat tip van

Israel releases 198 Palestinian prisoners in effort to boost peace process Israel has freed almost 200 jailed Palestinians — including a militant mastermind from the 1970s who became the state's longest serving Palestinian prisoner — in a goodwill gesture just Palestinianprisonersrelease82508_2 hours before US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice visits the region.

The prisoners arrived in Ramallah after being released by prison guards at an Israeli military checkpoint near Jerusalem. The prisoners, some waving black-and-white checkered keffiyeh headdresses as they stepped off Israeli buses, kissed the ground before boarding Palestinian vehicles.

Israel said the release was designed to bolster President Mahmoud Abbas and his western-leaning administration and give a boost to the slow-moving peace talks with the moderate Palestinian leader.

Government spokesman Mark Regev said: "It's not easy for Israel to release prisoners. Some of the individuals being released today are guilty of direct involvement in the murder of innocent civilians.

"But we understand the importance of the prisoner issue for Palestinian society...We believe this action can support the negotiation process and create goodwill."

ISRAEL'S MORTAL, ENEMIES: AL QAEDA, HAMAS, FATAH, ISLAMIC JIHAD And OLMERT

In the last days of his illegal occupation of the office of Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert, the most dangerous man in the history of modern day Israel, is working furiously behind the scenes to establish an Islamic terror state in the heart and soul of the homeland of the Jewish people.

PM Olmert pushing for deal with Palestinians to impose on Israel

Dr. Aaron Lerner                  Date: 22 August 2008

Maariv correspondent Ben Caspit reports in today's edition that Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is pushing hard to reach a deal with PA head Mahmoud Abbas before he leaves office.  American businessman Daniel Abram recently met with Abbas a number of times to encourage Abbas to reach an agreement with Olmert.

According to Caspit, Olmert tells his circle that if he reaches a deal with Abbas "the president of the United States will adopt the wording, the world with adopt it, the European Union, also the Arab world.  We can tell the Israeli People that this is what can be achieved after long years of negotiations and the Nation will decide."

Put another way:  Olmert intends to create a situation according to which the Israeli public will be put in the situation that rejection of the deal means rejection of a plan already embraced by the entire world - with all the consequences.

Al-Qaeda Affiliate - Jaish al-Islam - Receives Formal Sanctuary in Hamas-Ruled Gaza (Lt. Col. (res.) Jonathan Dahoah Halev)  

Except for Fatah, the other Palestinian terror organizations in Gaza enjoy full freedom of movement under Hamas rule. Offshoots of Al-Qaeda in Gaza include Jaish al-Islam (the Army of Islam), the Army of the Umma, and Fatah al-Islam. Following a series of violent clashes, Hamas and Jaish al-Islam established a joint committee to regulate relations between the groups and to solve disputes between them. In essence, Hamas recognized Jaish al-Islam as a legitimate armed movement inside the area under Hamas jurisdiction. In a previous agreement between the two groups, Hamas had given Jaish al-Islam $5 million and more than a million Kalashnikov bullets in compensation for its freeing of BBC journalist Alan Johnston. Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas warned about the emerging trend, telling Al-Hayat on February 26, 2008: "I believe that Al-Qaeda is present in the Palestinian territory of Gaza. It is the Hamas movement that brought Al-Qaeda in and it abets the entry and exit [of militants]....I believe that they are allies."   

French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner confirmed in July 2007 that Hamas was in contact with Al-Qaeda. However, he clarified that their connection was not the result of Western policy to isolate the Hamas regime. Hamas has established a terror hothouse in Gaza designed to continue the jihad against apostates, pursue the struggle against Israel, secure the overthrow of the Abbas regime in the West Bank, and assist the efforts of the parent movement, the Muslim Brotherhood, in overthrowing the moderate regimes in the Middle East headed by Jordan and Egypt.

Lt. Col. (res.) Jonathan D. Halevi is a senior researcher of the Middle East and radical Islam at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs. He is co-founder with Brian Falkenstein of the Orient Research Group Ltd. and is a former advisor to the Policy Planning Division of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Eldad, Netanyahu Would Not Supply Israel ray Guns to Israel's Executioners

This is the poisonous fruit of the piss process.

Israeli Ray Guns In Gaza Strategy Page hat tip carl

July 31, 2008: Israel is desperate to get some kind of anti-missile system in place to protect against rockets being fired out of Gaza by Hamas. Right now, a top candidate is the U.S. land mobile version of the Phalanx anti-ship-missile weapon. This system, called "Centurion" was originally developed four years ago, as "C-RAM". That's why the Israelis want it now, because similar systems developed in Israel will take several years to perfect, and angry voters will not give politicians that much time. Centurion is ready now.

Centurion is basically the Phalanx naval gun system with new software that enables it to take data from its own, and other, radar systems, and shoot down just about any kind of artillery shell or rocket within range (about 2,000 meters). It uses high explosive 20mm shells, that detonate near the target, spraying it with fragments. By the time these fragments reach the ground, they are generally too small and slow to injure anyone. At least that's been the experience in Iraq.

The original Phalanx used 20mm depleted uranium shells, to slice through incoming missiles. Phalanx fires shells at the rate of 75 per second. Another advantage of Centurion, is that it makes a distinctive noise when firing, warning people nearby that a mortar or rocket attack is underway, giving people an opportunity to duck inside if they are out and about.

And the answer is! Because you're Prime Minister!

 How could we let this happen?" (Corrupt hack and Jewicidal Prime Minister Olmerde)

As Hamas goosesteps on the march to all out war with Israel -- Olmert scratches his head (as opposed to his tiny testes) and wonders where it all went wrong.

And But Defense Minister Ehud Barak said the "balance" was so far a positive one. "The calm was intended to give [us] a timeout which we would do well to take advantage off."  WRONG, you pathological assaht, the calm was a hudna for Hmas to  rearm, regroup and prepare for the next onslaught.

OLmert-Barak- Livni should be jailed for putting Israel in such dastardly jeopardy, and making every Israeli a ransom for Islamic jihad blackmail. It's terrible, all of it.

'Large amount of weapons and explosives flowing into Gaza' By  JPOST.COM STAFF AND AP hat tip Van

Hamas has smuggled four tons of explosives, 50 anti-aircraft missiles, dozens of Kalashnikov rifles and materials used to produce rockets into the Gaza Strip since the inception of the cease-fire, Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) chief Yuval Diskin said Sunday at the weekly cabinet meeting. [...]

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said on the truce that "I fear that a reality is being created in the south, which, in five years we'll be asking ourselves - How could we let this happen?"

According to Diskin, Hamas has also taken control of all smuggling tunnels along the border with Egypt, and cement being brought into Gaza was intended for construction of bunkers.

The Shin Bet head added that the recent prisoner exchange with Hizbullah had encouraged various Palestinian groups to attempt carrying out abductions.

G-d forbid they get jobs and actually do something, produce something, create something. DEATH, that's what they do.

But Defense Minister Ehud Barak said the "balance" was so far a positive one. "The calm was intended to give [us] a timeout which we would do well to take advantage off," he said.

It is obvious now to Isalmic jihad if they want their murderers released they must kidnap and kill Jews. It works.

This is a sad day, a tragic day for Israel and the Jewish diaspora.

The evil New York Times doesn't know

Child Killer or Brave Anti-Israel Fighter? Times Leaves It Open for Debate "Samir Kuntar will return to a hero's welcome when he crosses into Lebanon this week, 29 years after he left its shores in a rubber dinghy to kidnap Israelis....That raid went horribly wrong, leaving five people dead, a community terrorized and a nation traumatized." How would such a raid have gone "right," in the Times' eyes?

Blue Star wrote, I am boiling over, but put my anger aside and left a calm and collected voicemail for Israel's Ambassador to the U.S.

My comment: As a staunch supporter of Israel, today I am ashamed of its government. Trading live terrorists for dead soldiers works contrary to the safety of every Israeli soldier and citizen. It is also a deep wound to all those who love freedom. Moves like this will encourage more kidnappings and murders.

Samir Quntar who crushed the head of four-year-old Eynat Haran with his rifle, was a serving four life sentences for murder in an Israeli prison is released to a hero's welcome.
[..]
Besides bludgeoning Eynat Haran to death with rocks and his rifle, Quntar killed her father and was responsible for the death of her infant sister. He also killed two policemen in the 1979 attack in Naharia. The Israeli cabinet today approved a prisoner exchange that would free Quntar and several other prisoners in exchange for dead Israeli soldiers Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser, who were kidnapped by Hizbullah in 2006. (More here at PMW).

Blue Star bemoans,

.... terrorists for dead soldiers works contrary to the safety of every Israeli soldier and citizen. It is also a deep wound to all those who love freedom.

Hizbullah's al-Manar network reported that Kuntar and the four prisoners were received by masses of supporters, cries of joy, and lively music. Following a short ceremony, the freed prisoners were set to head to Beirut for a mass rally to celebrate their release.

In his first statement after being released, Kuntar told al-Manar: "I want to congratulate all those who sacrificed for the sake of this new victory. This is the true supplement to the July victory (Second Lebanon War.) I won't say much now, I will make do with sending well-wishes to the man responsible for the promise that was fulfilled, Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah, and to the heroic fighters of the Islamic resistance (Hizbullah)."

PG: Olmert is releasing these terrorists from prisons with no conditions, what do you think of that?

Karnit Goldwasser : The Prime Minister

PG: Yes, Olmerde. Doesn't that make you crazy? releasing these terorists from prison?

Karnit Goldwasser : That's not quite true. I hope that Fatah .... I hope that Hamas will understand that if that want to get their people to their home, people that they wish to have at home, I hope they will see that Olmert can release people and Olmert can bring people back home in returning of Gilad Shalit.

PG: You have faith in Fatah?

KG: Fatah?

PG: It's a question. I am just asking you because I don't. Everything that I have seen over the past few ....

KG: My problem is with the Hezballah. I am dealing with Hezballah, I'm not [intelligible] ...  from the country. I don't know I am hoping Nasrallah will understand and if he wants to release his prisoners he has to do much more but it seems he doesn't want to release the prisoners.

PG: He's an animal

KG: What can I do? ...... What can I do?

UPDATE: Hezb'Allah circling:

Hizballah has marked the conclusion of the prisoner exchange with Israel by launching new tactics consisting of anti-air missile ambushes against Israeli Air Force flights over Lebanon and anti-ship missiles against Israel naval craft cruising off its shores.

DEBKAfile¢s military sources report that Hizballah has taken charge of the missile campaign while handing the Lebanese national army the task of attacking Israeli outposts at the Shaaba Farms enclave and the Mt. Dov slopes of the Hermon range.

It was clear Wednesday, July 16, that Hizballah was now calling the shots in Beirut when the president and government were forced to honor the spectacular heroes¢ welcome the Shiite group organized for the five imprisoned terrorists released by Israel.

Hezbollah practice nazi salute for the return child murderer (hat tip Kasper)

"Palestinians in the Gaza Strip were handing out sweets to celebrate the handover of the two coffins. Dozens of Palestinians, holding Palestinian and Lebanese flags, rejoiced at the prospect that Samir Kuntar would be freed."

"Today is a great victory for the resistance movements and to Hezbollah, said Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri. "It shows that the only successful way to free the prisoners is by kidnapping soldiers."

A former cellmate of Samir Kuntar, Jaber Weshah, who is now deputy director of the Palestinian Center for Human Rights in Gaza, said: "Today is a true day of joy for all Palestinians and all freedom lovers across the world."

UPDATE: Evil on holiday:

Prisoner exchange*(click for video hat tip ejo)

This is the animal (Sami Kuntar) Olmert set free today to receive a "hero's welcome" in Lebanon. This is a dark day for Israel:

"After drowning Danny [the father] in the sea in front of Einat (as Ahmed Al-Brass, Mhanna Salim Al-Muayed, and Abdel Majeed Asslan served as look outs and backup cover for Kuntar), Kuntar turned his attention towards the 4 year-old. He took his rifle and then swung it across the toddler's head, knocking her to the ground. Kuntar then dragged the toddler a couple of feet to the closest rock he could find and laid her head down on a rock, with the intention of crushing it with the butt of his rifle. Einat, instinctively covered her head with her arms, Kuntar struggled with the toddler until he finally managed to clear her arms out of the way. Once her arms were out of the way, Kuntar repeatedly beat her on the head with the butt of his rifle and stomping on her body, until blood rushed out of her ears and mouth. Then, to ensure she was dead, Kuntar continued beating her over the head until her skull was crushed and she was dead."  (more here is you can stand it)

The Olmert government has known that Regav and Goldwasser have been dead for 2 years.

Wolf, "Olmert deflecting attention from his own corruption has he lets monsters with blood on their hands free!"

Leftard Jews pay Bloody Jiyza for Jewish Genocide

Murdered by Muslim in Jerusalem screaming, what else? Allah Akbar.

We mourn the loss of Elizabeth Goren-Friedman, 54, who had dedicated her life to teaching blind children; Jean Relevy, 68, who was about to become a first-time grandfather in a month; and Batsheva Unterman, 33, a kindergarten teacher in Jerusalem. (more here)

Murdered_victims

This is depraved. Why wouldn't a Muslim kill Jews and insure a solid financial future for his family. This is impossible to fathom and clearly represents how broken Israel is. They have laid down.

1. For many years the Israeli Far Left and the Israeli media (pardon me for repeating myself - they are largely the same people) have had a bugaboo over the matter of "Vidu Hariga" or "Making sure they are dead." In confrontations with terrorist infiltrators, would-be suicide bombers, and similar peace partners, when it is not clear if the perps are really dead or just wounded, Israeli soldiers sometimes finish them off with a bullet or three. Official military orders are NOT to do so, but in many cases the commanders wisely turn aside when it is done. The leftist judges in the Israeli courts sometimes take time off from their judicial activism to scream about how awful "Making sure they are dead" is. Haaretz has long crusaded against the "barbaric" practice. Leftist "human rights" groups whine about it.
 
In the bulldozer attack in Jerusalem this week, the perp was shot by a policeman. The perp passed out and looked dead. The policeman did not "finish him off" with a Vidu Hariga shot to the nogen. Perhaps the cop was worried about being demonized in the media or prosecuted by the bleeding hearts.
 
His failure to do so resulted in more death. The terrorist suddenly came to, and hit the gas on the 'dozer, murdering Batsheva Unterman, the mother of baby Efrat. Do-good squeamishness and politically correct idiocy claimed yet another life in Israel. Failure to conduct Vidu Hariga against terrorists should be a crime in Israel, but, instead, every cop and soldier has to worry about being indicted if he finishes off a terrorist. Failure to kill terrorists costs Jewish lives.
 
Meanwhile, take a look at Naomi Ragen's wonderful piece here:
Note that the 'dozer murderer was a relative of the terrorist who committed mass murder in the yeshiva in Jerusalem last spring. At the time, the house of the terrorist's family was not demolished, the family was not deported, and - yes indeed - they WERE permitted to collect survivor benefits as relatives of the dead terrorist from Israel's social security (National Insurance Institute). For those who assumed I was kidding when I wrote that families of Arab terrorist murderers who have Israeli citizenship collect such survivor benefits, I was completely serious.
 
The family of the Yeshiva murderer set up a "mourning tent" to celebratetheir heroic "shaheed" family member after he murdered the yeshiva children. Israeli police protected the premises lest some angry Jew do something violent to them. They bragged about how proud they were of the hero with his 72 virgins (see this article).
 
Then, after all that, Olmert and his pals are shocked, I say shocked, this week when another member of that same family carries out another massmurder. While making some noises about how maybe this time the house of the perp's family should be demolished, it will not happen. The Jewish leftists will run to the courts to prevent it from ever happening. Andthen when the third member of the terrorist family commits a new mass murder, the Olmerts and the leftists in the media will be struck dumb from shock and surprise.
 
By the way, as fate would have it, one of those who shot the tractor terrorist was brother-in-law to the Jew who shot and killed the yeshivamurderer last spring. The Jewish hero had been arrested a few years back and beaten by the police for participating in protests against the Sharon Gaza capitulation and the ethnic cleansing of Jews from Gush Katif.

UPDATE:  Must read! Caroline Glick: ANATOMY OF A MASSACRE

Government and police spokesmen would have us believe that the carnage in Jerusalem on Wednesday was unavoidable. Husam Taysir Dwayat, the convicted rapist, burglar and drug dealer turned jihadist who mowed down innocent people with his bulldozer on Jaffa Road was not suspected of links to terrorist organizations. The sociopathic, violent criminal who had "returned" to Islam over the past month raised no red flags. There was nothing to be done. No one is to blame.

If the protestations of the government and the police that nothing could have prevented Dwayat from using his bulldozer to murder three people sound familiar, it is because they are. Immediately after Ala Abu Dhaim entered into Mercaz Harav yeshiva on March 6 and massacred eight students, government and police spokesmen said the same thing. There was no way to prevent the attack. No one is to blame.

These statements are no more than easy excuses for incompetence. While it may be true that neither Dwayat nor Dhaim were members of a terror group, it is certainly true that both of these Jerusalemite terrorists operated in an atmosphere that engenders both radicalism and lawlessness. Their decisions to murder innocent people were products not only of their own evil natures, but of an atmosphere of permissiveness that naturally intensifies any latent desire to cause death and mayhem. If they had been operating in a different environment, it is possible they would have behaved differently.

 

Insanity

Zioncon has this incomprehensible back story on the tractor terror attack.
Israel is a very sick nation.
