The U.N. sides with terrorists

Suppose a UN investigation team claimed the US committed war crimes in its response to the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. While al Qaeda may have been culpable for the attacks, America was equally to blame for the civilian deaths caused during Operation Enduring Freedom. This is the framework suggested by the Goldstone report.

Mark Regev Answer Readers' Questions

A few weeks ago, I was able to secure an interview with Mark Regev based on readers' questions. Many of you have responded by posting your questions, and selected topics were presented to Mr. Regev.

On a personal note, I wanted to apologize for the delay in posting these answers. I gave birth to a baby boy a few weeks ago, thus was less available than I hoped and was unable to upload these answers in a timely fashion.

Here are some of the answers I've received, dealing with the following issues:

• Terror attacks and the tools used against them - Israel has seen a dramatic reduction in terror attacks in the last few years and its not because terrorists have stopped trying.

• Israel's relations with the media - many of you raised the issue of Hasbara, or how Israel is explaining itself to international media. Mr. Regev explained Israel's efforts in this field as well as its approach to new media trends such as social media sites.

• The issue of torture - torture is illegal in Israel and the security services operate within the limits of the law.
• The Jewish identity of Israel and its impact on non Jewish citizens.

I'd be happy to hear your thoughts on these matters.

If you think its only Israel Hamas hates think again

Shocking testimonials by Palestinians reveal the treatment those opposed to the Islamic Hamas movement  receive. Knowning Hamas this is not new, yet these people fled to Israel so they can now speak out and tell their stories.

 

 

Hamas to Join Efforts to Curb Global Warming

The Hamas administration plans to move forward with efforts to combat global warming, despite the failure to forcefully close the Karni fuel depot that would have curbed Gaza's greenhouse gas emissions, officials said yesterday. "We didn't get the fuel depot closed yet, but we did send a strong message by killing two Israeli officials who were responsible to most of the pollution" said Dr. Samir 'Abdullah, Minister of Planning. "All in all, we're in pretty good shape."

At the depot, which is run by Dor Alon, fuel trucks send their polluting cargo to Palestinian territory through an underground pipe. It is estimated that 25% of greenhouse gas emissions are caused by fuel sent to Gaza by Israel. The two Israelis officials killed in the attack had been veteran employees at the fuel depot, where they coordinated the pollutions efforts of Israel by transferring fuel to the Palestinians, said Jacob Cohen, an official of the Karni fuel depot. "They've been here for years, causing lots of harm to the environment," said Cohen. He added that the Hamas efforts to curb global warming might undermine the short-term interests of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. "Getting fuel is clearly in the Palestinian interest despite the pollution," said Cohen. "After all, they say that they want to operate their hospital. Now I believe that in the coming days the supply of pollution, but also of fuel, will stop". Hamas officials rejected Cohen's claims and added "Millions of Palestinians could face poverty, disease and hunger as a result of rising temperatures and increased rainfall expected to hit Gaza. Having no fuel to operate our hospitals is a small price to pay for curbing global warming". Hamas is expected to announce additional efforts in the near future, including switching to bio-degradable Qassams missiles and using green explosives that do less harm to the environment when exploding.

Iranian's President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, congratulated the Hamas leadership on "their decisive actions for curbing global warming", and promised that Iran is hard at work on developing the Nassam, a Qassam with a nuclear warhead. "The new Nassam will considerably reduce the amounts of Kassams used and the strain put on the environment", Iranian officials said, "One Nassam will replace millions of Qassams and help us bring a clean, nice world sooner than expected".

Israeli children, one dressed as a rocket, participate in Purim celebrations at their school in the town of Sderot, southern Israel.

It's amazing how reliant these children are, being able to joke about their daily threat of rockets. (Hat tip: Elder of Zion)
