STILL WAITING FOR PALESTINIANS TO BECOME CIVILIZED - FEBRUARY 24, 2016

Hatred is what they do and it is all they do.

I write this as we learn that another Israeli has been killed as the result of the latest Palestinian terror attack, this time in Gush Etzion.


Nothing seems to stop this. Nothing seems to work. Israel has tried everything to turn these people into good neighbors, and it only gets worse.


Along with the rocks and the knives on the local scene, the Palestinian Arabs have moved their terrorism onto global warfare.

The mosques continue to blare incitement nonstop. The Palestinian-BDS movement continues to spread hatred from campus to campus, for hatred is what they do and it is all they do.


These people make nothing, invent nothing, contribute nothing. A bogus claim is all they’ve got. They are good at spreading it thick and thin.


Montreal’s McGill University is the latest to swallow from their cup of deceit.

London Tube trains carry BDS posters to further the Palestinian Arab cause, which is to murder as many Jews as possible in Israel and around the world.


On top of all that, behold, it’s Universal Apartheid Week, yet another gift to the world from the people who can’t seem to get the hang of acting civilized.


This is a global jihad, ladies and gentlemen. The last to figure this out are the Israelis, who should be the first.


It’s Global Jihad, stupid.
Because it was in Israel where this worldwide plague got started and can’t seem to get finished despite extended favors.


We are talking about concessions up the hilt…building freezes, handshakes with Arafat and Abbas over a suicidal two-state solution, lopsided prisoner exchanges, the Gaza Expulsion of Israelis, and worst of all perhaps, the Oslo Accords, where Israel’s leadership helped create this monster.


The wheeling and dealing was all done with one purpose in mind – the hope that one day the Palestinians would be appeased enough to become civilized.


One fine day, it was hoped, these Palestinian Arab Muslims would stop behaving like savages.


The dream persists, evidence to the contrary. Last week yet another high-ranking member of Israel’s military offered defeatism as his advice –


More concessions. He wasn’t kidding.


Some people simply do not learn and it is tempting to blame the Left, only it is Benjamin Netanyahu who continues to freeze Jewish territory. It was Ariel Sharon who committed the Gaza atrocity. So Israel submits itself and belittles itself from within, and from Left to Right.


Does anyone in Israel know what’s really going on outside in the big world? It’s Global Jihad, stupid.


They are everywhere, these jihadists. They are targeting everyone. They can’t be tamed and no amount of knee-bending will make a damn bit of difference.


Israel gets picked on because it is there, because it is Jewish, and because it fights with one hand and never goes for the knockout. Never.


After today’s Gush Etzion attack, which took the life of Eliyav Gelman, a Reserve Captain, 30, father of two, we are sure to weep, to grieve, to hear calls for vengeance, and to rest assured that everything is being done to catch the terrorists and bring them to justice.


Sorry – too late. Everything should have been done BEFORE, not AFTER.


Like what? Like what I have been writing for years – zero tolerance.


That is something I shouldn’t have to figure out for the politicians and for the military high brass. They should know what to do.


A nation that was outgunned 1,000 to one back in 1948 but still prevailed ought to know how to prevail against the knives of 2016.


But the beginning of wisdom for this type of warfare is to understand that this enemy cannot be softened through concession trophies in Israel or anywhere else around the world. No, it’s time to realize that this truly is a clash of civilizations, made worse by the fact that the other side is totally uncivilized.


Deal with it now and take no prisoners.

DIRTY TRICKS WON IOWA FOR HILLARY, GAZA FOR SHARON - FEBRUARY 3, 2016

Watch her crowing about how she won and how she plans to continue onto New Hampshire standing on her record.

In horse racing, the Stewards would have posted the photo sign for two horses that reached the wire together.


They would not have tossed a coin.

Thoroughbred racing is serious business.

Money is on the line.


Politics is different, especially the way Democrats play the game. Only our lives are on the line and only Hillary must win.


Cheating in racing can get you suspended. Cheating in Democrat Politics can get you elected.


So when six counties in Iowa finished so close, a whisker apart between Hillary and her rival, the Communist from Vermont, Bernie Sanders, the people in charge of the caucus, the Stewards in other words, decided to toss a coin to determine the winner…and this happened!


All six tosses came up in Hillary’s favor.


I asked gambling expert “Tommy the Tout” how often this can happen and he said, “Rarely to never.”

So Hillary “wins” and watch her crowing about how she won and how she plans to continue onto New Hampshire standing on her record.


Her record shows her to be a ready destroyer of America and a willing enabler to diminish the Jewish State.


Her emails reveal her to be an Obama clone to the extreme and a partner for every scheme intended to harm Israel.


The part that caught my attention was an exchange that discussed how Israel must be “shamed” into making further concessions to Abbas.


Abbas? Glad you brought that up because I’d be just as happy not to know how the Expulsion from Gaza REALLY happened. I read about it right here in my home paper. This was awful news, groundbreaking information that only Arutz Sheva had the guts to print. Read it. You have to, to know what treachery really means.


First let me ask – how many Hamas bombs have fallen on Israel since then, 2005? In three Gaza Wars, how many IDF heroes risked and gave their lives? Of million-plus Israelis along the border, how many have spent their lives running in and out of bomb shelters – children traumatized forever?



Abbas said jump. Sharon said how high?
Of the 9,000 Israelis who led happy creative lives as from Gush Katif they grew cutting edge (worm-free) produce, fruits and vegetables that were a marvel to the world – what happened to them after they were evicted practically overnight, with barely enough time gather up their shoes?


I don’t know. Ariel Sharon, the prime minister back then, the man in charge, he knew. Did he care?


Yes, but not for the Israelis. He cared for the Arabs. That is precisely what we learn from these most harrowing facts disclosed today from the article written by Shimon Cohen for Arutz Sheva. It’s about a man named Dov Weislgass who (first telling it to Israel’s Army Radio) served as Sharon’s emissary to the PA and its leader, the thug Mahmoud Abbas.


It’s about Leftist concessions made beyond belief, unless you believe that the ghetto-Jew mentality still rules Israel, or at least ruled Israel at the time.


Frankly, though, the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising dispels much of that myth – and those brave ones would never have capitulated, as did Ariel Sharon.


Sharon was ready to give up the entire shop to make Abbas happy. Abbas said jump. Sharon said how high?


Abbas wanted all of Gaza cleansed of every Jew. Done. Everything was done to conform to Abbas’s deadly wishes. Sharon complied.


Sharon was different when it came to his own people. The media was ordered to fall in line with the Disengagment Plan, or else there’d be consequences.


No problem there, in most cases, because it was the Fanatical Left that turned him in the first place.

Girls as young as 11 and 12 who carried signs in protest were driven off to jail.


Cabinet ministers were fired if they objected to the expulsion. They were replaced by Sharon’s cronies.

Sharon had created a Police State. Anything to satisfy Mahmoud Abbas. Sharon gave Abbas the keys to the State.


That’s as dirty as it gets and Israel is still paying the price with another Gaza war looming.

For sheer deceit, corruption and betrayal, it’s tough to go beyond Sharon. Hillary comes close. Perhaps a toss of the coin can break the tie.

THE SHORT, HAPPY LIFE OF DAFNA MEIR - JANUARY 18, 2016

She was the ideal Israeli, a daughter of Judea from the line of Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah.

Blast them all.


That was my first thought upon hearing the news that, dear G-d, another Israeli has been stabbed to death by another Muslim terrorist.


How much more of this can we take before we answer back and remove them, remove them all, all of them, from the Land of Israel?


A terrible, unforgiving instinct takes over after one of these events and, if you’re like me, you weep, and then cry vengeance.

Lord, remove this pestilence from the entire face of the earth.


Later we cool off. We return to our senses. We recognize that they are not all like that and we even feel a sense of guilt for our impulses.



He came from Oslo. He came from Europe. He came from the European Union. He came from BDS.
But after an event like this, so random, so brutal, anyone who does not express unforgiving outrage, rage without pity, if only for a moment, is himself sub-human, a man without a heart just like the Palestinian Arab savages who choose for themselves the most vulnerable, the most defenseless to do their ungodly handiwork.


Absolute indignation, we owe ourselves this much, if only this much to remedy our grief and despair.


At times like these our anger is the only comfort we have left. Fury is our only answer to our broken hearts.


Dafna Meir was 38 when they came for her. She was the ideal Israeli, a daughter of Judea from the line of Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah. She was a loving wife to her husband Natan, a loving and doting Jewish mother to her six children. She was a woman of valor, choosing to live in Otniel, the Biblical heartland of the Jewish State; the Bible Belt scorned by the world.


Screw them all!


She was a nurturer. Two of her children were adopted. She was a healer. At the Soroka Hospital in Be’er Sheva, she served as a nurse.


She had so much more to give.


From every account and from her photo alone we see her as the embodiment of the Israeli woman, joyful, spunky, courageous, creative, tough, soft, freedom-loving, neighborly, faithful to the Land and her People. Is this why they chose her? Yes it is. This is their “armed struggle.”


For their “armed struggle” they choose women. They choose children. They choose men, women and children in their prime.


Dafna Meir was in her prime. Grandchildren are sure to come. She will never see them. A Palestinian Muslim Arab terrorist took care of that.


Damn them all!


Where did he come from, this terrorist? The search is on. But we know. He came from Arafat. He came from Mahmoud Abbas.


Damn them all!


He came from Oslo. He came from Europe. He came from the European Union. He came from BDS.


Blast them all!


He came from the BBC. He came from CNN. He came from The New York Times. He came from Haaretz.


Damn them all!


He came from every land swap. He came from every prisoner exchange. He came from every sign that Israel can be TAKEN.


He came from every Church that supports the boycott movement and he came from every Synagogue that welcomes them as migrants and that accepts the myth of moral equivalence. They all had a hand in the dagger to the chest that took the life of Dafna Meir in her prime.


Damn them all.


Later it will be time to repent for our hard feelings. Ordinarily we are not like this. We do not think like this.


We are good people. Among us are Torah-observant Jews, whether we practice it religiously or not, joined by upright Christians devoted with us to the Biblical imperative to love our neighbors as ourselves. This is not like us to condemn the good along with the wicked.


Yes, later it will be time to relent and repent. But not just yet.

THERE IS NO HAMAS - NOVEMBER 1, 2015

We’ve got to stop saying “Hamas” because when we put it like that people think it’s between Israel and a small group of insurgents, which makes it Israel’s problem…and Israel comes out the heavy in a “local dispute.”

In fact Hamas is ISIS, always was, hence Israel is fighting the world’s problem.



This, people can understand.


Ask people on the street here on Broadway about the latest stabbing attack and tell them it came from Hamas and they’ll shrug.



Hamas is ISIS, always was, hence Israel is fighting the world’s problem.
They don’t know Hamas and they don’t care. It’s so far away.


Tell them the truth, that it came from ISIS, or more to the point, that it came from Radical Islam, or Islamic Terrorists and now they care.


Now it’s close to home.

Our duty as literary warriors for Israel is to make the world understand that from day one it’s been Radical Islam versus the Jewish State versus mankind.


So there is no Hezbollah, no PA (Palestinian Authority), no Fatah, no Boko Haram, no al Qaeda, no Taliban, no Hamas; they are all the same.


Through Arafat came all the rest of those killers, beginning with the PLO.

Personally, I may slip now and then, but I pledge to quit honoring those thugs by giving them titles. It’s Radical Islam, period.


Bibi needs to take the hint.


That’s number 1.

Likewise here are four more usage mistakes that must be stopped:


2. Stop calling him “president” Abbas. Nobody called Al Capone “president” Capone. A thug is a thug.

The minute you call him “president” you give him legitimacy, him and the rest of his goons.


3. Stop being more merciful than G-d, which means stop treating these terrorist bums, their wives, their daughters in Israeli hospitals.


Yes, I know, we’re Jewish and that’s what we do – we do compassion. We’re supposed to be “better than them.”


It’s not working. For once let’s be worse than them and see how that works.


4. Stop voting for Democrats. American Jews, you can’t read the writing on the wall? Obama is no Roosevelt and even Roosevelt was no Roosevelt.


Hillary is no Truman and even Truman was not always Truman (to the Jews).


5. Stop putting your trust in people who proclaim themselves Zionists but blame it all on “the settlements.” Or on Israel’s “policies.” Beware of them who seek “peace” but only through “a two-state solution” but that to Israel falls the task of concession after concession. In other words, they want a 23rd Arab state to replace the one and only Jewish State.


These are not our friends, obviously. Do not be tricked. Know them by their words.

Don’t let them set the terms.


To win the war we have to win back the language.

MAHMOUD ABBAS - YOU ARE NOT THAT IMPORTANT - OCTOBER 1, 2015

Get over yourself, Mahmoud.

The Holocaust-denier who runs the confederacy of terrorists known as the PA (Palestinian Authority) tried a new trick. He is scrapping his end of the Oslo Accords -- as if anybody around here really gives a damn. But he needs the attention, poor guy.



Whatever works to get him a headline – he’s in.


He came to America just when football season is getting heated and Americans are in the mood for not much else – maybe the baseball playoffs.


So nobody really cared why he came here and the only headline he got was at The New York Times, naturally.


Nobody cares, Mahmoud.
Nobody else gave him the coverage he craves.

Nobody cares, Mahmoud.


He got no ticker-tape parade down Broadway and even Mayor de Blasio was too busy – too busy feting Clock Boy.


At the UN he got the usual applause that tyrants always get and then came the speech, remarks straight from the Third Reich songbook that runs “Palestine uber alles.” Far as I know, television didn’t care. “Dancing with the Stars” didn’t preempt itself for his blood-libel blather and nonsense. We have heard this before.


You are not that important, Mahmoud.


It is true that all the other world leaders mentioned the conflict, but that is an automatic insert, the blaming of Israel for everything.


Trouble is, they didn’t really mean it, not with the world tumbling out of control.

The constant kvetching from Abbas has become so tiresome; has become a sideshow of a sideshow.


Get over yourself, Mahmoud.


Bad timing, that’s for sure.


Overnight Putin elbowed Obama out of Syria, or at least we have American and Russian planes zooming across the same sky.


What can possibly go wrong?


Plenty, of course…so while we wait for the inevitable collision, and WAR, who cares about Mahmoud Abbas and his list of fake grievances?


What we’ve got here is fake grievances about a fake conflict. Israel never asked for this.

Meanwhile, here’s REAL CONFLICT – Syria again. Hundreds of thousands of dead and dying, and millions of them devouring Europe.


Here we’ve got Arabs against Arabs. The Jews don’t even figure as an afterthought. This is not their fight.


Those are the headlines and those are the worries. Nobody is worried about a tin-horn dictator and his phony beef.


Abbas is not even a legitimate leader. His term as “president” ran out years ago, which renders him a fake president of a fake people.


There never was a Palestinian state and the only Palestinian people, before 1948, were the Jews.


No big loss, Mahmoud.


Guess what?


The Oslo Accords were never a bargain for Israel or the world. What a relief to get that albatross off our necks. The deal legitimized the PLO, created the PA, enriched both Yasser Arafat and Mahoud Abbas, triggered Arab bloodshed against Israelis, and made kosher the very people, the very cannibals that are terrifying and terrorizing the entire world.


The entire world is arming itself against Radical Islam, and it was to support Radical Islam that Mahmoud Abbas came to the United Nations.



The Oslo Accords were never a bargain for Israel or the world. What a relief to get that albatross off our necks.
The PLO is the grandfather, the originator of Radical Islam.

No wonder you could hear a pin drop.


We understand the Benjamin Netanyahu will soon be addressing the same General Assembly. He is to refute Abbas point for point.


We don’t need this, either, Bibi. Nobody cares. Nobody in America cares and in Israel… in Israel people care too much.


Why give yourself a headline, which only lengthens the argument and puts the spotlight back on this fraud who never was a partner.


Stop treating these bums as your equal. That was Oslo’s big flaw from the start.


Let it go. Stay home and take care of family business. Your people are hurting. Kristallnacht has come to Jerusalem.


Make this stop, for only that is your job.

JERUSALEM DOUBLE CROSS - JUNE 10, 2015

Jerusalem Double Cross

Says the clueless publisher to the writer in a famous New Yorker cartoon, “So what was it, the best of times or the worst of times, Mr. Dickens?”

Not so funny today. It’s been a rough week. Make that a rough month, even a rough year. Would you believe a rough century?

But lately, if you’re Jewish, it’s been especially hard. It’s been one damned thing after another, and now, as if it couldn’t get any worse, they tried to wipe Jerusalem off the Jewish map. The Supreme Court, to refresh, ruled that Jerusalem is not the capital of Israel, or any part of the Jewish State.

Jerusalem was always the prize. Read this, especially pages 280 to 281 to see how the double cross gets done.

The voting ran 6 to 3, and the three Jewish Justices sided with the majority. Proof once again that the phrase “Court Jew” is no compliment.

The nightmare (for me) began with a phone call from Israel: “Did you hear what the Supreme Court did?”

Can’t trust the three Jewish judges, but two Italians tried to come to Jerusalem’s rescue – but failed.
“Don’t tell me.”

But he told me and my first response went like this: “Figures. You guys have got to do something about your High Court. They’re a bunch of…”

“No! Your High Court. The Supreme Court of the United States, for crying out loud.”

This also figures. They usually cave for Obama, as they did for his national healthcare program.

For Jerusalem, the three who dissented were Chief Justice Roberts, Justices Alito and Scalia.

Can’t trust the three Jewish judges, but two Italians tried to come to Jerusalem’s rescue – but failed.

So they’re still dancing in Ramallah, whooping it up at The New York Times and wherever anti-Semites can be found.

It was a good day to be Mahmoud Abbas or Mahmoud anybody.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest told the press that Mr. Obama was happy with the Court’s decision.

Jerusalem, first established by King David as Israel’s capital 3,000 years ago, is ripe for the taking as long as you’re not Jewish, like David.

Hamas is welcome to it, as is Fatah, Islamic Jihad, and Islamic State – though nobody says it quite that way.

But some of us are not stupid. We do not need everything spelled out.

So the Supreme Court of the Unites States declared Jerusalem an orphan, no father, no mother, and, to their thinking, what else is beside the point?

That history begins with the Hebrew Bible, the Torah, and that both Christianity and Islam were birthed from Jewish Scriptures, which places Jerusalem as the undivided, eternal capital of Israel. They may try to delete history but it can’t be done. Their liturgy repeatedly bequeaths Jewish preeminence over Jerusalem.

Their books are taken from our Book and even our prophets they can’t deny. The paperwork’s been done.

Nor can they deny the prophecies that place Jerusalem in Jewish hands. To begrudge Israel’s full rights to Jerusalem is to forget that today’s shekel is the same currency Bathsheba used to buy 

Solomon a new pair of shoes when she went shopping for her young son in the City her husband built.

Which brings us to an uncomfortable moment. Yes, Obama was pleased with the Supreme Court’s decision. What about the Prime Minister of Israel? Surely Benjamin Netanyahu was not pleased. In speech after speech he avows Jerusalem as Israel’s eternal capital. Nice words.

Meanwhile, however, since 2013 the Netanyahu government has imposed a construction freeze upon eastern Jerusalem.

No Jewish homes may be built in the vicinity where Solomon built the Temple and where David wrote the Book of Psalms…in Hebrew.

So, we have no choice but to assume that Israel’s leadership itself doubts its jurisdiction over its own capital.

How then can anyone expect the United States Supreme Court to think and act differently?

Until Israel’s leaders proclaim decisively and universally that it’s Jerusalem or bust, the losing streak will continue.

To keep Jerusalem safe, it’s time for Israel to forget the kindness of strangers. Israel’s acting foreign minister Tzipi Hotovely has it right.

It’s time to speak up resolutely for Biblical Jerusalem and erase any weakness or doubt.
