Israel vs Palestine www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/148591Woman in Labor Survives PA Lynch Attempt PA terrorists attempted to lynch a Jewish couple as they rushed to the hospital on Yom Kippur with the wife in labor. By Maayana Miskin First Publish: 10/8/2011, 11:56 PM Rock attack in Shiloach (archive) Palestinian Authority terrorists continued their attacks on innocent Jewish motorists over Yom Kippur, this time attacking a woman in labor and her husband as they rushed to the hospital. The husband, Ariel Goldman of Pnei Kedem, told Arutz Sheva that the two were lucky to escape with their lives. Their ordeal began near Har Homa at 2:30 a.m., as they drove to Hadassah Ein Karem hospital in Jerusalem. Suddenly, they encountered a point in the road that had been blocked by large stones. As Goldman slowed the car, looking for a way around the trap, several Palestinian Authority terrorists jumped out and began to hurl rocks at the car. The attack turned into a game of cat and mouse, as Goldman looked for ways around the rocks and tried to keep moving, while the terrorists followed the car and continued to pelt it with heavy stones, using a tactic that recently resulted in two deaths near Hevron. The terrorists “had murder in their eyes,” Goldman said. He finally managed to pass the stone barrier and speed away from the group of attackers, only to encounter a second group that attempted to stone the car near the Jerusalem neighborhood of Talpiot. Goldman managed to speed away a second time. A policewoman he later encountered appeared uninterested by his story, but promised to notify her superiors, he said. Ariel Goldman and his wife managed to reach the hospital, where she gave birth to a baby boy. Both the baby and mother are in good condition.

www.nytimes.com/2019/09/17/world/middleeast/israel-election-netanyahu.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage"JERUSALEM — Israel’s election was too close to call early Wednesday, with neither Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu nor his chief rival, the former army chief Benny Gantz, a centrist, immediately commanding enough support to form a majority coalition, according to exit polls. But Mr. Gantz’s Blue and White party appeared to have come out ahead of Mr. Netanyahu’s conservative Likud, giving a small third party the power to decide the outcome. And his avowed desire to force a unity coalition including both their parties made it likely that, if the projections held, Mr. Gantz would be given the first chance of forming a government. The murky outcome itself was a humiliating blow to Mr. Netanyahu, 69, the nation’s longest-serving prime minister, who forced the do-over election when he failed to assemble a coalition in May, rather than let Mr. Gantz have a try. For the second time in a row, his onetime deputy, Avigdor Liberman, denied Mr. Netanyahu a majority, this time urging the formation of a unity government." Mr. Netanyahu may be out. For now. But what is amusing to me is hearing Sean Hannity describing Bibi as "Ch u rchillian".

www.nytimes.com/live/2021/05/12/world/israel-jerusalem-gaza"A new round of Israeli-Palestinian fighting, set off by tensions over the holy city of Jerusalem, escalated on Wednesday as Israel assassinated several Hamas commanders and hinted at a possible ground invasion of their Gaza enclave. The militants responded with a new barrage of more than 1,000 rockets aimed at cities across southern Israel. The exchange followed dozens of Israeli airstrikes overnight on the Gaza Strip, which is controlled by the Islamist militant group Hamas, and several nighttime waves of rockets fired from Gaza at Tel Aviv, Ashkelon and Israel’s main international airport. An Israeli military official said three infantry brigades were “preparing for a worst-case scenario,” confirming that a ground invasion could follow the bombardment from the air." I wonder how this makes the Arab countries that have been kissing Israel's ass lately feel? I suppose they don't care as they seem they hate each other more than they are anti-Israel.

Israel has traditionally been defended by it's supporters by claiming it "is the only democracy in the Middle East." If so, it is not much advertisement for democracy.

according to the polls I have heard, Americans support Israel in it's "war on terror" by a large margin. To me, it looks like just another ethnic war in the Middle East we are taking sides on.

One of the scariest things about Israel is it doesn’t seem to have a left. I get the same feeling about Australia. America didn’t until Trump single-handedly revived it. Biden may kill it again, which is one reason I almost wished Trump would win a second term, except for the damage he would do to the environment, including his idiot wall.

Tomorrow is the 49th anniversary of the Yom Kippur war. It was Tricky Dick’s big escalation of America’s involvement in the Middle East, and put the world on notice that we were going to ensure the existence of Israel, a policy which survives today no matter which clown party is in power.

While Israel was the aggressor in 1948, 1956, and 1967, it was 1973 when the Arabs attempted to end Israel. It would be their first and last. They haven’t tried again since, and some have even made alliances with Israel. Palestinian Nationalism is pretty much dead.

Israel is another country where the Left has been almost completely extinguished. And of course Islam has always been an enemy of the Left, even though the Left has often embraced Palestinian Nationalism.

What can you say about religious wars? I can only dream AI will put an end to religion sometime in the future. Israel needs to be secular.

So I’m contemplating how Israel can do pretty much anything it feels like doing, no matter how bloody. Why not? It’s had America’s un conditional support since Nixon intervened in 1973. Little likelihood of that changing in the near future. But give it TIME and the worm may turn.
