Daniel Lewin: 9/11’s first casualty

Posted on September 11, 2014 | Comments Off on Daniel Lewin: 9/11’s first casualty

He was one of the one percent, an Internet billionaire and former IDF army captain who was murdered fighting back on American Airlines Flight 11 before the terrorists flew it into the World Trade Center’s North Tower.

In previous years I’ve highlighted the “falling man,” the terror of leaping away from fire and falling so far to the pavement below. But Daniel Lewin’s story also is worth the telling and, even more important, the hearing.

It’s an Israeli as well as an American story. Daniel was a light unto the world.

UPDATE: “And let us not forget the joy that gripped the PalNazis as word of the 9-11 attacks spread through East Jerusalem.” Scroll down at the link for the video of the street celebrations.

Qatar, now Turkey, backing terrorism

Posted on September 9, 2014 | 3 comments

It should have been obvious when Lurch quixotically tried to halt Israel’s retaliation against the premeditated Hamas murders of three Israeli teenagers and subsequent rocket barrages by trying to enlist Qatar and Turkey in the effort.

But just in case anyone missed the point (Barry, we’re talking about your $11 billions arms deal with Qatar) Israel Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon has underscored it for them.

“Ya’alon, speaking at the International Institute for Counter-Terrorism in Herzliya, expressed outrage that the international community would allow nations to back terrorism while remaining full members of respected international organizations such as the UN and, in Turkey’s case, NATO….‘The command center of Hamas’s overseas operations sits in Istanbul,’ Ya’alon said.”

I’d only quibble that the UN, aka the Dictator’s Club, is hardly respectable to any but the uninformed.

Wormtongue’s favorite terrorists

Posted on September 4, 2014 | 1 comment

No, it’s not ISIS, despite his dithering on a “strategy” to take the head choppers on. When unloading a few tons of napalm on their formations would suffice. Except we might hit one of his (and their) allies, the Free Syrian Army.

Nope, it’s one of those sheikdoms, the kind the Worm likes to bow to. In the case of the Emirate of Qatar, however, he also has passed along to these enablers of Hamas, etc., an $11 billion arms deal.

Who knows where those arms will end up? Like the ones we already give the FSA and, through them, the ISIS head choppers, nowhere good, that’s for sure.

Refused arms behind Gaza pullout?

Posted on August 29, 2014 | 3 comments

It seems Obamalot, the most secretive administration in a long time, is still refusing to resupply munitions to Israel—which could be a major reason for the controversial ceasefire with Hamas. Seems, we say, because Wormtongue & Co. admit nothing, leaving speculation and tea-leaf reading as the only options.

“It has been two weeks since The Wall Street Journal first reported that the White House had been caught off-guard by transfers of military equipment from the Pentagon to the IDF in the course of Operation Protective Edge.

“According to that report, the administration responded to the surprise by tying up further arms transfers in an additional multi-agency review process. Some transfers requested by the IDF have since been released, but a request for additional Hellfire missiles remains unfulfilled.”

Wormtongue’s unsavory animus for Israel is telling. He may not be a Muslim as his more hysterical critics allege but he obviously prefers them to Jews.

OTOH, I have trouble imagining how those missiles could be more accurate than artillery, especially on Gaza where the coordinates of every building could be (and undoubtedly are) known down to a scale of inches. Or is the IDF short of artillery rounds as well?

Gazastanians slain by falling bullets

Posted on August 29, 2014 | 3 comments

And they weren’t even Israeli bullets! Nope.

They were from the usual physics-challenged, masked IslamoNazis firing their AK-47s into the air. Disregarding Newton, as always, they forgot that what goes up must come down.

This time the brilliant Gazastanians were celebrating their great victory over the Zionist entity. Result: 2 killed, 25 wounded.

I’m sure if the New York Times editors work on it, however, they can figure out a way to blame it all on Israel, and all their adoring acolytes from coast to coast will page 1 the story.

Why it’s wrong to say “the” Palestinians

Posted on August 28, 2014 | 2 comments

“#13 – ‘The Palestinians:’ The United Nations’ 1947 partition resolution called Palestine’s Arabs and Jews ‘the two Palestinian peoples.’ Nothing is more self-delegitimizing and counter-productive to achieving peace based on Arab recognition of Jews’ right to be there, than that Jews should go around calling Palestinian Arabs “The Palestinians.” They have no distinguishing language, religion, or culture from neighboring Arabs, and have never been sovereign in Palestine, whereas the Jews, with a presence stretching back three millennia, have had three states there, all Jerusalem-based. Most Palestinian Arabs cannot trace their own lineage to the land back more than 4 generations.”

Ready to be mind-boggled? Thanks to the persistent laziness of the Democrat media and its sheep-herd mentality, various anti-Israel and, increasingly, anti-Semitic groups, the other twelve points probably will surprise you as well.

Illuminate yourself.
