Escalation in terror against Israelis

Hello readers,

It seems that after thursday terrorist assault against Israelis (4 worishppers, 1 policeman dead, many more injured) something has changed. But is there a change? Those who follow my blog, or my activities in Hebrew knows that except for results, there is nothing new under the sun. As I reported before, there are constant terror attacks, assaults and offensivness against Israelis (Jewish and non-Jewish) by palestinians. It still goes on right now. Throwing Molotovs, stones and rocks, riots. But the slaugher of the worshippers is not the first attack resulted in dead people in the last few weeks. 

October 22nd - Run-over with car attack in the light rail station. Chaya Zissel-Brown a 3 months old baby, and Karen Yemima Muskara a 22 old girl were murdered. Others were injured.

November 5th - Run-over with car attack in Jerusalem. Jaddan Assad 39 police officer, and Shalom Aharon Baadani a 17 year old yeshiva student were murdered. Others were injured. 

November 10th - Tel-Aviv's "Haganah" train station a terrorist stabbed Almog Shiloni 20 year old air-force soldier while he was on the phone talking to his girlfriend. 

4 hours later a Run-over and stabbing attack in Gush Ezyon. Dalia Lamkus a 26 year old girl was murdered. Dalia survived injuries of stabbing attacks 8 year before, the second time she didn't survive. Others were injured. 

November 18th - The Slaughter in the synagouge. Moshe Twersky 59 years old. Aryeh Kupinski 43 years old, Abraham Goldberg 68 years old, Rabbi Kalman Levin 50 years old and the policeman Zidan Saif 30 years old.

I also think its important to point out this: atleast 3 of the victims are not Jewish. Karen Yemima Muskara was in a conversion process, Jaddan Assad and Zidan Saif who were policeman (Assad was an officer) are Druze.

Why do I point this out? 

1. Israel is diverse place, Its not home for only Jews or for Jewish faith. There are Druze, Muslims and Christians. There are Arabs, Samaritans, Circassians, Aramaic. There are more people and more faiths.

2. They live everywhere they like and travel wherever they like. They can be in Jerusalem or in Tel-Aviv or Gush Etzyon.

3. They serve (by their own choice, non-mandatory) in the IDF and the Police.

4. Palestinians ofcourse are also aware of that. They don't care that when they attack indiscriminatley by rockets, molotovs, run-overs or other method that they might kill people who are non-Jews, even non-Israelis. By the way, did I mention that atleast 6 of the victims mentioned above are dual-citizens?

Another thing I should mention, the palestinian terrorists and their apologetics always find new excuses for new attacks. In the last month I heard atleast 3 "reasons" which I will explain in a post tommorrow or in 2 days are very unreasonable to say the least.

For example an arab bus driver commited suicide and pathology reports ruled it as a suicide. But the palestinians keep claiming he was murdered. The thing is, one of the people who ruled it as a suicide is a palestinian pathologist, from the Palestinian Authorithy. 

So, readers, by now we know there is nothing new under the sun, palestinian terrorist attack indiscriminatley, their reasoning is weak and whats more?

Well ofcourse the celebrations after the murderes! So except from declaring them martyrs and saints, creating new memes, praising them in the media, recording new catchy songs glorifying murder there is ofcourse fireworks and candy hand outs! Isnt that awesome?

Thats it for today, I will explore more about this issues in my next posts. stay tuned!

After the ceasefire - Time line

Dear readers,

I havn't posted anything because I was both busy and needed a break.

But now, evening before Rosh Hashana (Jewish New Year) I want to get you up to date with things you probably missed in the media(its just tip of the iceberg).

26.8.14 Hamas leadership in Gaza disobeyes their leader Khaled Mesha'al and agrees to ceasefire without terms. Negotiation for a new long term agreement to begin in September.

Ceasefire should've started in 19:00. In 19:00 Hamas declared that the ceasefire is indeed in action.

But in reality they kept firing rockets for over 20 minutes later.

27.8.14 - molotov cocktail thrown near Beitar-Ilit. IDF officer injured by a rifle shooting from Syria. Mortars from Syria hit Golan Heights a civilian injured. A bus was stoned in the entrance to Ariel.

Moltov cocktails thrown at Israeli cars near Atara junction. 2 Bombs. molotov cocktails and stones where thrown at policemen in Jerusalem. 2 molotov cocktails thrown at homes in Jerusalem. Dozens of Arabs rioted in the border of Gaza-Israel assaulting and stoning IDF soldiers. Atleast 30 stoning attacks, 4 of them in one hour in Hebron. 

30.8.14 - 2 Mortars from Syria hit Golan Heights.

31.8.14 - 3 explosives in 2 scenes. IDF equipment and personal equipment of soldiers was stolen.

A bus driving in samaria was stoned by stones and rocks.  A private car driving in Mavo-Dotan was stoned. A female soldier was injured and rushed to hospital in a car stoning incident in Atarot. Atleast 34 attacks by stoning against Israelis in one day. 

18.9.14 - A terrorist with an axe on his way to carry out an attack was arrested. 2 minors arrested after stoning cars. 2 Stoning attacks on the light-train of Jerusalem. atleast 21 stoning attacks that day.

21.9.14 - Children bus was stoned with blocks and color cans in Jerusalem.

22.9.14 - 7  terrorists were arrested, they admited of planning  to carry out attack in Rosh Hashana (24/25.9.14). In search in their home they had lots of ammunition and knives. A terrorist who threw stones on the light-train was arrested short-after, He had a knife with him.. 3 attacks on yizhar junction with molotov cocktails. 34 molotov cocktails attack that day.

A bus between BeerSheva and Arad was stoned. 

Terror attacks, Rockets, Bombs, Explosives, Firearms, Molotov cocktails, Knives, Stones, Riots, Vandalism.

Threats from the outside and also from the inside. Against not only soldiers and police but on innocent civilians and even small children and babies. This is just a small tip of the iceberg of the last few weeks. But guess what you probably didn't hear it in your local media. Where is the outrage? Is the life of an Israeli child is less sacred and less valued than other children? When Hamas fires rockets from Gaza its not the only issue Israel and its civilians have to deal with. Open your eyes.

STOP TERROR! STOP HAMAS!

Kid 4 year old killed by Hamas

Hello readers,

Unfortunatley today Hamas mortar killed a 4 year old.

This is not the first kid to die by Hamas actions.

Finally Hamas admitted kidnapping and murdering the teenagers Eyal, Gilad and Naftaly in early June.

Yesterday a 33 year old man was injured severly while shielding with his body young children.

Today few hours before shabbat services a synagouge in Ashdod was hit by a rocket.

In the meanwhile Hamas keep executing Palestinians who they suspect (with no evidence or trial) for collaboration with Israel. They do it publicly.

Hamas are murderous terrorists!

Hamas must be Stopped!!

Hamas is ISIS/ISIL

Hello readers,

Close to 200 hundred rockets were fired by Hamas at Israel.

Today I will give you brief understanding of why Hamas is ISIS.

1. Both Sunni-Muslim terror organizations with the end goal of forming a caliphate.

2. They fought together in Syria against Assad. Assad was their former patron.

This caused huge tensions with Syrian government obviously and their S's hiite partners in crime in lebanon, hezbollah. Also, apparently some Hamas prisoners told in the interogations that many of their elite units were deployed in Syria and fought Assad and Hezbollah forces. They joined ISIS battalions and were trained by them in variety of weapons and tactics. They got expirience under their belt. Again, Hamas forces joined ISIS battalions in Syria. Thats probably one of the main reasons why Assad and Hezbollah refused to help their war against Israel.

3. Hamas and ISIS patron is Qatar.

Yeah, many news outlets, intelligence sources and governments point to Qatar for funding those groups. Lately a german minister joined this finger pointing. 

Also worth noting that the arab world turn his back to Qatar while some start support Israel against Hamas more openly. Recognizing its the same threat as ISIS because they are the same.

Share it! Hamas Is ISIS! Stop Hamas! Stop TERROR!

Hamas breaks ceasefire 11th time

Hello Readers,

I took some time off to focus on other projects, and during that time we had 2 ceasfires, 2 of them broken by Hamas. The second one was broken today.

So they broke 11 ceasefires untill now. 

Today in the afternoon Hamas started firing again thus breaking the ceasefire. Since then they fired dozens of rockets to the south, to the center (Tel aviv area) to Jerusalem area and continue right now.

But about a week ago Hamas broke another ceasefire, few hours before it was suppose to end. than in a short while a new ceasefire began.

Living like this is hard to explain. We already know that Hamas cant be trusted to keep their words.

During this ceasefires espcially in their last days everything becomes so tense. You feel it in the atmosphere.

Actually ceasefire was suppose to end last night but they agreed to extend it to this night.

But few hours before that I went to meet up with volunteers in the volunteer center.

Went out, I barely saw 4 people along the way, very quiet, very tense, you could cut the suspense with a butterknife.

Also reported yesterday was that Hamas recruited cells with chemists and engineers in 46 towns in Judea and Samaria and east jerusalem to start a 3rd intifada with the goal of overthrowing the Fatah from the palestinian authority control, and taking over Judea and Samaria.

Some people were trained in malasyia for this operation.

The Cheif of the operation resides in Turkey. The Turkish government knew about this plan.

This adds to Hamas-Fatah tensions, after apparently Hamas put all Fatah members in Gaza in home detention during IDF operation. Those who tried to live were shot in the legs.

Hamas is terror, they dont care about palestinians, they dont care about people lives, they dont care about the results of their actions. They are just violent terrorists who wants death and destruction.

Stop Hamas now!!

Hamas killed children.

More than 160 children died digging tunnels for Hamas.

Hamas execute protestors. 

There were number of terror attacks against Israeli civilians. Also some attempts that were thwarted.
