The Israeli deputy transportation minister and member of the Likud party is as hot as the first syllable of her surname. Her politics are pretty hot as well.
A fair reminder of the curious fact that conservative women generally are a lot better looking than Progressive ones.

That’s what thirty IDF reservists have done, using the Israeli military reservist reputation for independent (okay, insubordinate) action, to help get their fellows out of the death traps laughingly called M-113 “armored” personnel carriers.
Funny only if your life doesn’t depend on them, like the six seven Golani soldiers (one of them from Texas) killed in one a week ago. The first time I rode in a 113, way back in Army training in 1967, I thought: how efficient, cheap and convenient, all the soldiers inside can be quickly buried in the thing.
Then I heard that the slab-sided, box-on-treads—an easy target for even a pathetic marksmen—was even worse: it was made of bullet-permeable aluminum. I vowed to walk when the real time came and always did.
UPDATE: According to Haaretz: “Chief of Staff Benny Gantz is already leveraging the attack on the obsolete armored personnel carrier, in which seven Golani soldiers were killed, to ask for an upgrade of all the army’s APCs.”

That would be the community organizer-in-chief. Friend to terrorists and anti-Semites worldwide. Master of the idiot Lurch, slanderer of a generation of Vietnam veterans as “baby killers.”
They are now bent on saving Hamas, having recently awarded the terrorists of Gaza a check for at least $47 million—just what Hamas needed. And now they are demanding that Israel immediately and unconditionally cease fire—-backed up by the louts of the Dictator’s Club, aka the United Nations. We can assume they are threatening Bibi with a restriction, if not an outright cancellation, of the usual resupply of expended American arms.
Which, when it gets out, as it surely will, should cost the Democrats the Senate. In the meantime, since together Wormtongue and Lurch have infuriated the Egyptians, whose military hardware also is American, Israel might even even get its resupply from Cairo.
The duplicitous Obama/Wormtongue has a talent for turning things upside down. As commenter MenachemBenYakov says: “Never has a man of lower moral character sat in the Oval Office.”

UPDATE: So far, Bibi, no doubt bolstered by 87 percent approval of Israeli citizens, is fighting back.

The IDFs Sky Rider drones are small, about fifteen and a half pounds, and hand-launched. With quiet, electric motors. Operating in front of the ground forces, above them and in constant communications with them, they are indispensable in the Gaza fighting.
“Drones have transmitted back live footage of terrorists firing anti-tank missiles from windows of Gazan buildings, and have helped direct ground forces to an accurate counterstrike…We also provide them with alerts before threats materialize. A good proportion of tunnel shafts have been identified by the Sky Rider drone unit…”
The JP article (quoted above and available at the link below) doesn’t say, but one imagines Sky Rider also is a big help to Maglan, the IDF’s behind-the-lines special forces.

The Human Rights Council of the Dictator’s Club (aka the United Nations) is a bitter joke dominated by countries that support terrorism. It’s main target is Israel. So naturally they’re working overtime at the moment.
UN Watch is at best a thorn in the council’s diseased flesh. Nevertheless, the Watch’s executive director Hillel Neuer is a man who knows how to give a speech. Don’t fail to notice the eyerolling of the clown in the foreground.
Neuer deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for promoting the common sense required to ensure real peace in the world. Instead it will undoubtedly go to our own idiot Lurch working feverishly these days trying to save Hamas from the IDF.
