Once again: UN collaborating with terrorists
May 24, 2004
Israel channel 10 aired Inon Maga'l item showing armed Palestinians use UNRWA ambulances to flee undercover.

Mofaz: UN Ambulances were used to steal Body Parts from Attack Site

Israel has documented UN involvement in past attacks perpetrated by Hamas as well as by Hizbullah. Most significantly, a UN vehicle was used in October 2000 to abduct IDF soldiers from Israel's northern border, leading to the deaths of three soldiers. Other attacks have involved UN vehicles assigned to Arabs living in PLO-controlled areas.

This is what we know. Imagine what we don't know.

Israel needs that fence
Editorial, The Montreal Gazette, July 10, 2004

Quote: "Israelis want peace, not a barrier. Yet they prefer to live without the incessant threat of terrorism. The barrier, a legitimate means of ensuring their security, does not foreclose peace negotiations regarding the final status of the disputed territories. Inconvenience that may be caused by the barrier is exactly that, an inconvenience, and it, too, is temporary. Death, however, is permanent."

Interview: Alan Dershowitz March 28, 2004

Alan Dershowitz is an American civil rights libertarian, Harvard University law professor and a leading defence attorney, as well as a supporter — sometimes a critical supporter — of Israel. In his latest book The Case for Israel, Professor Dershowitz defends Israel's right to exist, and its right to protect its citizens from terrorism and its borders from hostile enemies. Professor Dershowitz, who will be visiting Australia this week, talks to Jana Wendt from Boston about whether he believes Israel was right to target and kill Sheikh Ahmed Yassin.

Unfortunately, this is what happens when Israel's enemies know that Israel is willing to exchange live prisoners for dead ones. It's far easier to manage dead soldiers - they don't put up a struggle, try to escape, eat etc. Why should they expend any efforts at keeping their captives alive when they know that Israel will pay a price to retrieve even her dead soldiers? - MT Editor

Grubby Saddam captured hiding in hole

U.S. troops have captured Saddam Hussein hiding in a hole near his home town of Tikrit in a major coup for Washington's beleaguered occupying force in Iraq.
Grubby, bearded and "very disorientated", the 66-year-old fallen dictator was dug out by troops from a cramped hiding pit during a raid on a farm in Ad-Dawr village late on Saturday, U.S. Major-General Ray Odierno told a news conference in Tikrit. <Full Story> <Leave Comments>

THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING
Now, we have to prepare ourselves for the possibility that we will return again to the vortex of bloodshed and days of tension and fighting that can continue for weeks, and are liable to worsen to the point of all out war in the fashion of "Defensive Shield"
The army is already deployed for various possibilities - with plans and with orders. Now also the public - after a relatively calm summer vacation - needs to adjust itself to this idea. The assassination yesterday in Gaza will by necessity raise the bar for terrorist attacks and suicides.

Cradling the day-old Mohammed, Amal echoed his words. “Every Palestinian mother would send her child to jihad, defend the land, for freedom, the nation, this is our land, they took it away from us by force,” she said, her head wrapped in a black headscarf.

Elie Wiesel on Radio J

On the morning of August 2nd, on the airwaves of Radio J, Elie Wiesel reaffirmed his “confidence in the Israeli authorities.” With reference to the Gaza strikes against the Hamas terrorist Salah Shehade, he declared: “I cannot believe that there is a single Jew, Israeli who wants to kill children.”

Reminiscing about his friendship with Yitzak Rabin and his belief in Oslo, he spoke of his present-day uncertainty. Noting that while he does “not love violence,” he nevertheless “approves of the policies” of George W. Bush, “of doing everything necessary to ensure that terrorism would not be used as a means to serve political ends,” emphasizing that “suicide terror is a menace to Israel and the entire world. It is a threat to the world, not only to a single country.”

Weisel regrets that European solidarity with the United States following the attacks of September 11th 2001 is “more tenuous today.”

A Religion of Peace

The Israeli blogger Tal G. notices a disturbing Web site, ClearGuidance.com, which bills itself "a resource guide for Muslim teenagers." Bloggers Charles Johnson and James Lileks also have items about this site--which, after this unwelcome attention, closed down to all but registered users. Lileks quotes from one thread (this is obviously verbatim):

hey am gonna sleep rite now kay....il give u guys the threads name in brothers area ... i want to see that FILLED WITH BLOOD AND OTHER YUMMMY STUFF for tomorrow inshallah

tha name of that thread is "> : : : » JUICY JEW « : : : <" gud name eh ... lol

key gud nite...ma3assalaam

When we viewed the site last night, we saw (and saved to our hard drive) a thread called "Islam's Most Wanted," which seems to incite the assassination of various U.S. and foreign officials. A reader also passed to us a link from another site, which he said he found on ClearGuidance.com. It is an MPEG-format movie of a man (by some accounts a Russian) being beheaded. This link--decency prevents us from providing it--still works as we write.

It sounds as though law-enforcement authorities ought to look into this site. Here's some information to start with: According to the Network Solutions Whois database, the domain name is registered to one Halal Flowers of Staten Island, N.Y. Flowers also holds the registration for Taliban-news.com whose motto is "In Pursuit of Shariah." A reader of Charles Johnson's Web log reports the domain name used to belong to someone with a Muslim name and a Worthington, Ohio, address.
