WHO'S VULNERABLE?
Steyn on the World > Saturday, 13 December 2008

Shortly after the London Tube bombings in 2005, a reader of Tim Blair, the> Sydney Daily Telegraph's columnar wag, sent him a note-perfect parody of a> typical newspaper headline: "British Muslims Fear Repercussions Over> Tomorrow's Train Bombing."> > Indeed. And so it goes. This time round - Bombay - it was the Associated> Press that filed a story about how Muslims "found themselves on the> defensive once again about bloodshed linked to their religion."> > Oh, I don't know about that. In fact, you'd be hard pressed from most news> reports to figure out the bloodshed was "linked" to any religion, least of> all one beginning with "I-" and ending in "-slam." In the three years since> those British bombings, the media have more or less entirely abandoned the> offending formulations - "Islamic terrorists," "Muslim extremists" - and by> the time of the assault on Bombay found it easier just to call the alleged> perpetrators "militants" or "gunmen" or "teenage gunmen," as in the opening> line of this report in the Australian: "An Adelaide woman in India for her> wedding is lucky to be alive after teenage gunmen ran amok." > > Kids today, eh? Always running amok in an aimless fashion.> > The veteran British TV anchor Jon Snow, on the other hand, opted for the> more cryptic locution "practitioners." "Practitioners" of what, exactly?> > Hard to say. And getting harder. Tom Gross produced a jaw-dropping round-up> of Bombay media coverage: The discovery that, for the first time in an> Indian terrorist atrocity, Jews had been attacked, tortured, and killed> produced from the New York Times a serene befuddlement: "It is not known if> the Jewish center was strategically chosen, or if it was an accidental> hostage scene."> > Hmm. Greater Bombay forms one of the world's five biggest cities. It has a> population of nearly 20 million. But only one Jewish center, located in a> building that gives no external clue as to the bounty waiting therein. An> "accidental hostage scene" that one of the "practitioners" just happened to> stumble upon? "I must be the luckiest jihadist in town. What are the odds?"> > Meanwhile, the New Age guru Deepak Chopra laid all the blame on American> foreign policy for "going after the wrong people" and inflaming moderates,> and "that inflammation then gets organized and appears as this disaster in> Bombay."> > Really? The inflammation just "appears"? Like a bad pimple? The "fairer" we> get to the, ah, inflamed militant practitioners, the unfairer we get to> everyone else. At the Chabad House, the murdered Jews were described in> almost all the Western media as "ultra-Orthodox," "ultra-" in this instance> being less a term of theological precision than a generalized code for> "strange, weird people, nothing against them personally, but they probably> shouldn't have been over there in the first place." Are they stranger or> weirder than their killers? Two "inflamed moderates" entered the Chabad> House, shouted "Allahu Akbar!," tortured the Jews and murdered them,> including the young Rabbi's pregnant wife. Their two-year-old child escaped> because of a quick-witted (non-Jewish) nanny who hid in a closet and then,> risking being mown down by machine-gun fire, ran with him to safety.> > The Times was being silly in suggesting this was just an "accidental"> hostage opportunity - and not just because, when Muslim terrorists capture> Jews, it's not a hostage situation, it's a mass murder-in-waiting. The sole> surviving "militant" revealed that the Jewish center had been targeted a> year in advance. The 28-year-old rabbi was Gavriel Holtzberg. His pregnant> wife was Rivka Holtzberg. Their orphaned son is Moshe Holtzberg, and his> brave nanny is Sandra Samuels. Remember their names, not because they're any> more important than the Indians, Britons, and Americans targeted in the> attack on Bombay, but because they are an especially revealing glimpse into> the pathologies of the perpetrators.> > In a well-planned attack on iconic Bombay landmarks symbolizing great power> and wealth, the "militants" nevertheless found time to divert 20 percent of> their manpower to torturing and killing a handful of obscure Jews helping> the city's poor in a nondescript building.

'My daughters, they killed them': Doctor shows Israelis horror of war

RANAAN/AP
Dr Izz el-Deen Aboul Aish bursts into tears on Friday after his daughters' deaths

© More pictures
Like the shellings of UN-run schools and a major hospital in Gaza City, the Israeli public might have regarded the deaths of his three daughters as just more collateral damage in an ugly but justified war, if they noticed it at all. But Dr Izz el-Deen Aboul Aish is a gynaecologist at Israel's Shiba Hospital near Tel Aviv, and is well known among Israeli medical colleagues and journalists.
During the 22 days of Israel's military onslaught on Gaza, the Palestinian doctor and peace advocate who speaks Hebrew fluently had helped the Israeli media cover the war by giving phone interviews from inside Gaza.

But on Friday night, Dr Aboul Aish's scheduled live interview with Israeli Channel 10 television was conducted minutes after three of his daughters were killed by an Israeli shell. His raw anguish forced Israelis to take their first real glimpse of the suffering and death caused to Palestinian civilians.

Note how the Israelis told him to get out

It is worth paying extra attention to the bit that states "The IDF Spokesperson Unit stresses that in the days leading up to the incident, Dr. Abu El-Eish was contacted personally several times by officers in the Coordination and Liaison Administration in order to urge the doctor to evacuate his home, as many others already have, because of Hamas operations and the intense fighting that was already taking place in that area for several days." This shows how much the IDF try to prevent civilian casualties before they happen.

Results from IDF Inquiry Regarding Incident at the Residence of Dr. Abu El-Eish

Investigations were held on many levels in the IDF, with regards to the incident at the residence of Dr. Az A-Din Abu El-Eish, that occurred on Friday, January 16, 2009, in which three of the doctor's daughters were killed. The conclusions found that two shells were fired from an IDF tank resulting in the deaths of.

The investigation found that a force from the Golani Infantry Brigade operated in the area of Sajaiya for several days, during which they were engaged in face to face combat within short range of Hamas terrorist cells. The forces also located tunnels used for ambushing and attacking IDF forces, and identified homes which were booby-trapped.

On that Friday, the force came under sniper and mortar fire in an area laden with explosives and IEDs (improvised explosive devices). The force identified and located the source of fire from a house adjacent to that of the doctor's, and in response, opened fire.

During the reactionary fire opened by the IDF forces, suspicious figures were identified in the upper level of Dr. Abu El-Eish's house and were thought to be spotters who directed the Hamas sniper and mortar fire. Upon assessing the situation in the field while under heavy fire, the commander of the force gave the order to open fire on the suspicious figures. It is from this fire, that the three daughters of Dr. Az A-Din Abu El-Eish were killed.

Following the opening of fire, screams were heard from the direction of the house, and immediately the IDF force ceased all fire. Only later was it understood that this was in fact the house of Dr. Abu El-Eish. When contact was made with the doctor, the IDF force operated in order to allow for ambulances to evacuate the injured via the Erez Crossing for immediate emergency medical treatment in Israel.

The IDF Spokesperson Unit stresses that in the days leading up to the incident, Dr. Abu El-Eish was contacted personally several times by officers in the Coordination and Liaison Administration in order to urge the doctor to evacuate his home, as many others already have, because of Hamas operations and the intense fighting that was already taking place in that area for several days.

The IDF Spokesperson Unit also emphasizes that in addition to the personal contact made directly with Dr. El-Eish, the IDF issued warnings to the residents of Sajaiya by dropping thousands of leaflets as well as issuing warnings via Palestinian media outlets.

The investigation of the incident was conducted by the commanders of the forces in the area, as well as the division commander, and was approved by GOC Southern Command and the Head of the IDF Operations Branch (both ranking Major Generals). The IDF is saddened by the harm caused to the Abu El-Eish family, but at the same time states that considering the constraints of the battle scene, the amount of threats that endangered the force, and the intensity of fighting in the area, the forces' action and the decision to fire towards the building were reasonable.

The investigation's results were presented yesterday to the Chief of the General Staff, Lt. Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi, and received his approval.

Re: Dr Din Abu El Eish

This is an email from a friend from a friend so I can't verify the facts.

My friend, an Israeli Golani soldier during the operation in gaza near the doctor's home, was in the combat unit that fired the shots at terrorist hamas gangs near outside of this doctor's home. his family was inside. after the israeli golani soldiers cleaned the area from hamas threat and gunmen, they entered the house and found the dead bodies.what they also found is lots of ammunition stored in a kitchen closet: grenades, guns and some crude missiles. there were lots of black powder in sacks in the kitchen cabinet that the hamas uses to put into the rockets they send to israel. the soldiers also found guns stored in the bedroom closet above the doctor's bed...like an attic.

the israeli soldiers confiscated all this and blew them up outside the home. the doctor kept also empty pvc tubes under the bed in the bedroom. these are usually cut off from underground sewage systems and filled with the black powder in sacks and then made into crude missiles.

this was not reported by the idf because the investigation is still going on, but the idf intelligence knows what really happened.

amazing that this doctor, a hamas supporter and comlicit in their terror agenda by letting them store ammunition in his house, works at soroka medical center near beer sheba and claims innocence and wonders why the idf has operated near his house.

my friend tells me that they eliminated the gun fire from behind the doctor's house which came from hamas gunmen. they didn't target the house. the civilians in the house were part of the doctor's family...children. hamas knew they were inside and hamas needed the ammunition in the house. they forced the children to stay there and started shooting at the golani idf troops from behind the house. the hamas knew that the israeli soldiers will shoot back and hit the house. they knew it and they did it on purpose so the children would die in the battle. the house had secondary explosions from all the grenades stored in the closet and this is how the children died.mahed zabouri, druzigalil (02.04.09)

The intimidation of the House of Lords

by Melanie Phillips--scary reading!!
Tuesday, 3rd February 2009

I have been travelling during the past few days and so have built up a bit of a backlog of events upon which I have not yet commented. One of these is the apparently gross abuse of Parliament by Lord Ahmed of Rotherham, which remarkably has not been covered at all in the mainstream British media. Another member of the House of Lords invited the Dutch politician Geert Wilders, who is currently facing prosecution in the Netherlands for his outspoken analysis of the Islamist war on civilisation, to screen his controversial film ‘Fitna’ in the Lords on January 29 and discuss his views.

But various representatives of the British Muslim community protested; and Lord Ahmed issued a threat that he would personally mobilise 10,000 Muslims to prevent Wilders from entering the Upper House and would take the peer organising the event to court. In the face of such threats, the meeting was cancelled.

Lord Ahmed then boasted of his victory in the Pakistani media. The Associated Press of Pakistan reported him exulting ina victory for the Muslim community.

It was of course a major defeat for Parliament’s sovereign right and duty to protect free speech, the right to issue an invitation to a democratically elected member of a European parliament, and the right of British citizens to live without intimidation. It was an appalling development.

Now, however, it is fighting back. Wilders has been re-invited to speak and screen his film in the Lords later this month. Parliament now has a second chance to show that jihadi thuggery will not be allowed to prevail within the cradle of democracy.

But if it is really to demonstrate this, it should also surely take action against Lord Ahmed, who abused his position as a peer of the realm to threaten mass intimidation of the House in which he sits. If it fails to do so, it will be another notch on the ratchet of Britain’s slide into submission.

How Gaza was spun by Andrew Bolt

January 26, 2009 at 07:05am

Report after report during the fighting in Gaza stressed how Israel was carelessly killing civilians - and so many of them.

But reports by largely Left-leaning journalists from an area controlled by a terrorist group that could make life very nasty for them and their contacts cannot lightly be trusted. Both of the key claims against Israel turn out to be suspect.

First, Fairfax’s Jason Koutsoukis finds that Hamas, at least, knows well that Israeli troops restrain themselves in a fight - and tried to exploit that restraint in ways that put the lives of innocent Palestinians at risk:

Mohammed Shriteh, 30, is an ambulance driver registered with and trained by the Palestinian Red Crescent Society.... Mr Shriteh said the more immediate threat was from Hamas, who would lure the ambulances into the heart of a battle to transport fighters to safety.

In fact, Hamas reportedly used one hospital as a hideout and headquarters:
Senior Hamas officials ... are believed to be in the basements of the Shifa Hospital complex in Gaza City, which was refurbished during Israel’s occupation of the Gaza Strip… During a cabinet meeting a week ago, Shin Bet chief Yuval Diskin said senior Hamas officials found refuge in the hospital basement because they know Israel would not target it, due to the patients in the upper floors.

This is the same hospital where Mads Gilbert, the Marxist Norwegian doctor who backs terrorist attacks against the US, worked for several days and gave countless interviews accusing Israel of war crimes against largely innocent Palestinians. Oh, and performed in one highly questionable medical intervention for the cameras.

And what of all those innocents that Israel slaughtered? True, hundreds did, tragically, die, as Hamas fought from behind their human shields, but once again it seems the truth was spun:
Italian journalist Lorenzo Cremonesi, who works with the Corriere della serra newspaper, reported Thursday that Hamas had vastly overstated the number of civilian deaths in Gaza. While Hamas claims that 1,330 residents of Gaza were killed in the operation and approximately 5,000 wounded, the real number of casualties was far lower, Cremonesi says.

Cremonesi’s report was based on his own findings after touring hospitals in Gaza and talking to families of those killed or wounded.... Cremonesi estimated that between 500 to 600 people were killed in the fighting. Most were young men between the ages of 17 and 23 who were members of Hamas, he said.

Many hospitals had several empty beds, he reported… The Italian report also confirmed Israeli allegations that Hamas had used civilians as human shields and used ambulances and United Nations buildings in the fighting.

And, typically, the only clear case we have so far of innocent Palestinians being deliberately gunned down during Israel’s invasion has received almost no coverage and zero outrage from the the UN and the rest of the “pro-Palestinian” bureaucracy:

The Palestinian Authority’s Minister of Social Welfare Affairs, Mahmoud Habbash, ...confirmed that Hamas had been torturing and executing Fatah members in the Gaza Strip during and after Operation Cast Lead. Nineteen Palestinians were murdered in cold blood by Hamas, Habbash said, while more than 60 others were shot in the legs.

Ihab Ghissin, spokesman for the Hamas-run Interior Ministry in Gaza, confirmed that his men had arrested scores of “collaborators” with Israel during and after the war.... Musa Abu Marzouk, a top Hamas official in Syria, confirmed that his movement had executed “collaborators” during the war.

This is a war crime!!

Hypocrisy! by David A Harris

David is Executive DirectorAmerican Jewish Committee This letter was in the J post. January 26, 2009

Dear Ms. Trine Lilleng,

You were an unknown Norwegian diplomat till this month.No longer.

As first secretary in the Norwegian Embassy in Saudi Arabia, you recently sent out an email on your office account in which you declared: "The grandchildren of Holocaust survivors from World War II are doing to the Palestinians exactly what was done to them by Nazi Germany."Accompanying your text were photos, with an emphasis on children, seeking to juxtapose the Holocaust with the recent Israeli military operation in Gaza.

Clearly, you are miscast in your role as a diplomat, all the more so of a nation that has sought to play a mediating role in the Arab-Israeli conflict. In fact, you're desperately in need of some education.Let's begin with your current posting.

You've been in Riyadh since 2007. If you're so anguished by human rights violations, perhaps you could have begun by devoting some of your attention - and email blasts - to what surrounds you. Or were your eyes diplomatically shut?Have you failed to notice the many legal executions, including beheadings, going on in your assigned country?Have you ignored the often abysmal treatment of foreign workers, many from Asia, who also happen to be disproportionately counted among the victims of Saudi capital punishment?Have you neglected the gender apartheid that surrounds you? Did you ever look out of your car to notice that Saudi women are proscribed from driving, and that's hardly the worst of it?

Have you checked the skyline of Riyadh or Jeddah lately to count the number of church spires or other non-Muslim houses of worship?Have you bothered to inquire about the fate of homosexuals?Okay, you were AWOL on those issues. Maybe you just didn't want to offend your hosts by speaking the truth, or maybe you're suffering from that diplomatic disease known as "localitis" or "clientitis."But surely a woman like you, with such capacity for empathy for those in far-away places, and especially for children in danger, couldn't remain silent about other human rights transgressions, could she?

After all, could an individual so deeply moved by the plight of Palestinians in Gaza remain silent about what a New York Times columnist earlier this month described as "hell on earth" - Zimbabwe? Could a person so anguished by the fate of Palestinian children stay mum about a country where a girl's life expectancy at birth is 34, much less than half that of her Norwegian counterpart, and where the health care sector has vaporized, all thanks to the one-man rule of Robert Mugabe?

Could such a dedicated humanist possibly avert her eyes from the deadliest conflict since the Second World War, which has killed over five million people, many of them children, in the Congo in the past decade - not to mention the documented and widespread use of torture, rape, and arbitrary detention?

An observer of such acute sensitivity could hardly hold her tongue while Afghan girls attempting to go to school have been doused with acid by those who wish to deny young women access to education, reminiscent of the five years of Taliban rule, could she?

In neighboring Pakistan, where you served in the Norwegian embassy for three years, the beleaguered human rights community must have been fortunate to have such an impassioned voice for all that's wrong in this failing state. Or was that voice, perhaps, on mute?

The children of Sderot, the Israeli town near the Gaza border, have been in desperate need of just such a spokesperson as you for the past eight years. After all, their town has been in the crosshairs of literally thousands of missiles and mortars fired from Gaza. Those Israeli children live with all the signs of trauma, knowing that, with only 15 seconds warning, they could be hit at any time in their schools, their parks, or their beds. Yet, during my visit there last week, for some reason, those children and their parents had yet to hear you speak out for them. What a pity!

And the children of Iran could use your help as well. According to human rights groups, Iran has no compunction about executing children or those who were children when their crimes were allegedly committed. Oh, and by the way, your compassionate help would also undoubtedly be welcomed by others under the gun in Iran, including women's rights activists, union organizers, student protesters, independent journalists, reformist politicians, and religious minorities.

And let's not forget, once again, the children of Israel, who, according to the Iranian president, don't have a right to live.

But wait! A Google search about you reveals nothing, not a single word, regarding your views on Zimbabwe, Congo, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Sderot, or Iran. Or, for that matter, Burma, Darfur, Syria. Shall I go on?Only Israel, faced with those who wish to destroy it, manages to prompt your impassioned correspondence and righteous indignation.

Why?No less, your stunning lack of education extends beyond the contemporary world to 20th century history, specifically the Holocaust.Your invocation of the Holocaust to describe what's taken place in Gaza is, frankly, nothing short of obscene.Your claim that the grandchildren of the survivors are doing to the Palestinians exactly what was done to them goes beyond any norm of decency, much less honesty.Approve or disapprove of the Israeli military operation, but there is no basis whatsoever for such a comparison.

When Israel entered Gaza in a war of self-defense in 1967, the population was 360,000. After Israel withdrew totally from Gaza in 2005, it was estimated at 1.4 million.Would that the Jewish population under Nazi rule had quadrupled!

When Israel entered Gaza in 1967, life expectancy for women was 46. When it left Gaza, it was 73.Shall we even bother to discuss life expectancy for Jews under Nazi occupation?

The Second World War in Europe lasted from September 1, 1939 to May 8, 1945 - 68 months in all. That means an average monthly extermination rate of nearly 90,000 Jews.Compare that to the total number of victims in Gaza over three weeks - roughly guesstimated at more or less 1,000 - and recall that the majority were armed fighters committed to Israel's destruction, who used civilians, including children, as human shields, mosques as arms depots, and hospitals as sanctuaries.

Believe me, Ms. Lilleng, if the "grandchildren of the Holocaust survivors" had wanted to do exactly what the Nazis did to their grandparents, they would have unleashed their full air, land, and sea power. They would have thrown the Israel Defense Forces' ethical guidelines to the wind, kicked out the UN and Red Cross personnel on the ground, stopped humanitarian transports of food, fuel, and medicine, prevented media reporting, and left absolutely nothing - and no one - standing. Unless, of course, they needed slave labor, in which case they would have carted off the able-bodied to work in Auschwitz replicas until they dropped. Or material for ghoulish medical experimentation, in which case, in the spirit of Mengele, they would have kept Palestinian twins alive temporarily.

But Israel didn't do any of these things. It's a peace-seeking democracy dedicated to the rule of law - unlike so many of the countries whose horrific sins you blithely choose to overlook.

What are we to make of your selective moral outrage and rank hypocrisy? You ought to take a look in the mirror and ask yourself why Israel, and only Israel, makes your blood boil and leads you to speak out, even at the risk of grossly distorting both reality and history.

The answer, Ms. Lilleng, should be painfully obvious.

Petition the UN re:Hamas War Crimes!!

http://www.PetitionOnline.com/tap12009/petition.html

Statistical "Proof" that Hashem is watching over us!!

There is no end to the miracles that we have heard happening in this war: from the relatively few soldiers killed-the govt thought it was going to be in the 100s- in the end it was in low double figures, to this:

"Harold Gans is a mathematical consultant and international lecturer throughout North America, Israel, Australia and South Africa. He was a Senior Cryptologic Mathematician with the National Security Agency, United States Department of Defense until his retirement after 28 years of service. He recently reported the following:

On Jan. 5, 2009, Ehud Barak, Defense Minister of Israel, announced that 125 Grad-Katyusha missiles had fallen on populated areas of Beersheva, Ashkelon and Ashdod. This is 40% of the missiles fired; the remaining 60% fell in open areas. Of the 40% that hit populated areas of these cities, 2% hit buildings. I obtained satellite photos of Beersheva, Ashkelon and Ashdod. My analysis indicated that the average percentage of the ground covered by buildings in these three cities is 39.7%. This takes into account the different sizes of these cities.

Now, the expected rate of rockets hitting buildings should be the same as the percentage of the ground covered by buildings: 39.7%. Yet it is only 2%. The odds of this happening by chance are 100,000,000,000,000,000: 1.

Note that this has nothing to do with the bad aim of these missiles; we are only counting the 40% that actually did fall in populated areas of these cities."

If only the world would see the real Hamas!

http://www.maannews.net/en/index.php?opr=ShowDetails&Do=Print&ID=35455

Don't you think that seeing the world is fund raising for Hamas, that we should do an appeal for al-qaeda, the taliban and all the other terrorist organisations out there so that we have balanced, impartial help going to all their poor women and children who are under siege by the war on terror!?!

This must be one of the most brilliant, poignant articles to date.

Worrying times in France

Once again, the real news in France is conveniently not being reported as it should. To give you an idea of what's going on in France where there are nowbetween 5 and 6 million Muslims and about 600,000 Jews, here is an E-mail that came from a Jew living in France.Please read!

Will the world say nothing - again - as it did in Hitler's time?

Hewrites, "I AM A JEW -- therefore I am forwarding this to everyone on all my mail lists. I will not sit back and do nothing." Nowhere have the flames of anti-Semitism burned more furiously than in France : In Lyon, a car was rammed into a synagogue and set on fire.

In Montpellier, the Jewish religious center was firebombed; so were synagogues in Strasbourg andMarseilles; so was a Jewish school in Creteil - all recently.

A Jewishsports club in Toulouse was attacked with Molotov cocktails, and on thestatue of Alfred Dreyfus in Paris , the words "Dirty Jew" were painted.

In Bondy, 15 men beat up members of a Jewish football team with sticks andmetal bars. The bus that takes Jewish children to school in Aubervilliershas been attacked three times in the last 14 months.

According to the Police, metropolitan Paris has seen 10 to 12anti-Jewish incidents PER DAY in the past 30 days.

Walls in Jewishneighborhoods have been defaced with slogans proclaiming "Jews to the gaschambers" and "Death to the Jews."

A gunman opened fire on a kosherbutcher's shop (and, of course, the butcher) in Toulouse, France; a Jewish couple in their 20's were beaten up by five men in Villeurbanne, France. The woman was pregnant; a Jewish school was broken into and vandalized inSarcelles, France. This was just in the past week. "

So I call on you, whether you are a fellow Jew, a friend, or merelya person with the capacity and desire to distinguish decency from depravity,to do, at least, these three simple things:
First, care enough to stay informed. Don't ever let yourself become deluded into thinking that this is not your fight.

I remind you ofwhat Pastor Neimoller said in World War II: "First they came for the Communists, and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a Jew. Then theycame for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up, because I was a Protestant.Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me".

Second, protest to the media about what is going on. Write to the French embassy.

Third, send this along to your family, your friends, and your co-workers. Think of all of the people of good conscience that you know and let them know that you and the people that you care about need their help.

Aaaagh! The world is going down the tubes!

OK. I know G-d is up to something. We have all the factors for a major catastrophe building up:
1. Economic crisis
2. Israel under attack-whether from rockets form Hamas or from the war of words from the rest of the world
3. Jihad is on the up
4. And now the Pope is reinstating Holocaust denying priests.
No, don't get depressed. No, you are not paranoid-everyone does hate us BUT........
Remember Egypt? Pharaoh after one disproportionate plague still couldn't see the wood for the trees.
Remember the story of Queen Esther? Everyone hated the Jews then too. The only thing we learn from history is that no-one ever learns from history.
Anyway, the good news is after all our history, we are still here, so G-d does love us in His own special way so whatever the world throws at us be reassured that Someone is looking after us.

Cease and Fire!

Ha Ha! Silly me but when I was growing up a ceasefire meant just that: a cease fire. It turns out that Hamas only hear the fire part so they are continuing firing at Israel despite declaring a truce. When is the rest of the world going to wake up?? Do we hear on national news about these attacks?-barely, last article at back of newpaper or only if Israel responds. I wrote to Reuters today to tell them that they have it all back to front!

"Why whenever you do a report on Gaza, you get the chronology of events back to front? You will find that Gaza terrorists were firing at Israel so Israel had to respond to the threat to her civilians. Not Israel fired at Gaza and oh, yes, forgot to mention, in passing, that Hamas were firing at Israel and happened to injure 3 human beings. Your bias speaks volumes!!"

This is what I wrote to the BBC today pre-empting the Panaroma show next week.

I know that the BBC prides itself on its impartiality and I just wanted to write in to express my hopes that Jeremy Bowen will do justice in next week's Panorama to the terrible situation in Israel/Gaza. I hope that he will start by putting the situation in context i.e that for 6 long years Israeli citizens have had daily bombardment by Qassams, Grads and Ketusha rockets which by sheer miracle, have had few fatalities but many casualties-not to mention the psychological impact on the lives of Israeli civilians living in the South. I hope he will make clear that Hamas is a terrorist organisation that uses children as human shields. I hope that he will show the youtube images of Hamas firing from the UN School in Gaza. I hope he will show the Gazan Doctor who publically blamed Israel for the death of his 3 daughters and when there was an investigation, a piece of shrapnel from a Hamas bomb was found in one of the girls. I hope he will expose the mindset of a people intent on the destruction of Israel. I hope he will show images of the green houses left when the Israelis withdrew from Gaza in 2005 so the Palestinians could build a thriving enterprise for themselves BUT Hamas then destroyed them. I hope he exposes how BILLIONS of dollars have been poured into Gaza but instead of going to the humanitarian crisis, it has gone into the purchase of bombs, artillery and training camps for men and children. I hope he shows the youtube images where a Palestinian woman is interviewing a 3 yrs old(!) and asking her who are the sons and daughters of pigs and monkeys and who should we kill?

Thank you because after seeing Jeremy on Jon Snow's programme where Jon was baying for more blood and more bloody images, I was worried that our own Jeremy might not be so impartial after all.........
