Many self-appointed “experts” voice wrong information concerning the Israeli seizure of the “hate armada” a.k.a. the Gaza-bound flotilla who claimed to bring humanitarian aid to the poor Gazans.

These experts are ignorant about international law. Israel did not violate it. JFK did the same when blockading Cuba during the missile crisis. I attach a piece of international law for all. Please educate yourself before speaking out.
1.      "Maritime blockades are a legitimate and recognized measure under international law that may be implemented as part of an armed conflict at sea. (emphasis added)… A blockade may be imposed at sea, including in international waters, so long as it does not bar access to the ports and coasts of neutral states. (emphasis added)”

2.      Israel must protect itself from the Terrorists who run Gaza with the support of Iran and al Qaeda. Israel inspects all cargo that is delivered to Gaza via its land-crossing so as to ensure that weapons designed to terrorize its civilian population do not get through. This is the reason for the blockade, just like JFK"s reason for blockading Cuba.

3.      Israel moves daily humanitarian aid to Gaza through several land-bound border crossings. Contrary to Arab propaganda, there is no shortage of food and medical equipment or supplies in Gaza. Israel offered the same deal to the flotilla’s leaders who refused it. Also, it should be noted—every day many sick Palestinians from Gaza cross into Israel in quest of medical care in Israeli hospitals. I bet you did not know about this little fact.

4.       According to Israel National News, an IDF source reports that, "the poor condition of most of the "humanitarian" aid (taken from the ship and inspected by the IDF)  was unusable...Many of the medicines are expired."  Clearly, delivering aid is not what this was all about.

5.      The IDF spokesman has put out information regarding the weapons that were found on the ship: "Once the activists left the ship, security forces began a thorough search and found a supply of weapons, including knives, Molotov cocktails, detonators, wood and metal clubs, slingshots and rocks, large hammers and sharp metal objects. In addition, gas masks were found, pointing to the prior intention of the ship’s passengers to use violence against IDF soldiers who would then be forced to use riot dispersal methods."

6.      Israeli soldiers were caught by surprise—an ambush they did not anticipate. They did not intend to use violence. They did so in self-defense after being attacked by a lynching mob.

Two Muslim organizations are moving forward with plans to build a giant mosque near Ground Zero. A 13-story building damaged by debris on 9/11 will be refurbished to become The "Cordoba House" mosque. The plans are prompting outrage in the blogosphere, but the emotional reaction appears to be ignored by the New York City administration.

Most Americans with any sense of history should feel outraged at the Chutzpah and the hubris demonstrated by Muslims who claim that “The time for a center like this has come because Islam is an American religion," and that "We need to take the 9/11 tragedy and turn it into something very positive.” (I need to complete the sentence. Here is the next part)—Like building a memorial on Ground Zero to the “brave” martyrs who sacrificed themselves for Allah by flying those airplanes into the WTC).

This new mosque is nothing more than a flag, an icon planted by the victorious army at the heart of their defeated enemy’s headquarters. It’s a symbol—you (enemies of Islam) have been subjugated…

When are we going to wake up?

Throughout history and starting with Muhammad, Muslims converted other defeated  religions’ places of worship into mosques. They transformed that particular practice into a tradition by letting their defeated enemies digest the fact that Islam has supplanted their former religion and their former culture. This practice began with the pagan pantheon of the Ka'aba, in Mecca, then continued with thousands of churches and synagogues. One of the earliest and most famous examples was in Damascus, where in the year 705, Umayyad caliph Abd al-Malik took the church of St. John from the Christians and had it rebuilt as a mosque, which is now known as Umayyad Mosque. In 1453, they converted the famous Hagia Sophia cathedral in Constantinople into a mosque, immediately after capturing the city and changing its name to Istanbul. To make the buildings fit for a mosque, the Turks destroyed the icons, plundering their precious plating in the process, and defaced the frescoes.

Perhaps one of the most outrageous acts of hubris took place in Jerusalem where Caliph Umar laid the foundation for two mosques—Al-Aqsa and  Dome of the Rock—on the Temple Mount, the most sacred site in Judaism. This particular location is the place of the ancient Jewish temple, a place falsely claimed by the Muslims as their pre-historic capital (although it has never been mentioned in the Koran).

There are thousands of more examples that are worth mentioning, but we’ll save that for another day. Nevertheless, we cannot ignore or overlook the impending tragedy of the “Cordoba House" mosque. We still have a voice. We still have a chance. This outrageous monument of Islamic hubris must not take place next to Ground Zero. America has not been defeated. We should not become Islam’s Dhimmis. We should object, object, and object, until the mayor of the greatest city on Earth puts on his hearing aid, takes notice, then puts a stop to this irrational plan.

Islam is Under Attack!...?
This is the official motivation for Shazhad’s attempted bombing of the Time Square area.

Unfortunately, this is not true… I wish it were!

Islam is not under attack. Nevertheless, we are under attack by Islam. Regrettably, our present government (including previous governments) keeps denying it. Our politicians may not realize it, but you can’t win if you don’t know who your enemy is…

It does not matter what we do, how nice we are, what we say to appease these sick-minded Islamic nuts. Their brain has been washed with the Hate detergent. It is impossible to set their minds on the truth, to have them reason logically. The only way to clean up the grease that clouds their thinking is to do exactly what they claim we already do—we must fight Islam. Let them be right. Let them be right.

A politically incorrect character (an FBI agent) in my book—72 Virgins, (www.aviperry.org) could not help it when responding to a law-abiding naïve character. He said, “Unfortunately 99% of all Muslims give a bad name to the rest…” Although his statement could be regarded as an exaggeration, he did make the point. (or shall I say, I made the point through him :o)).

Our politicians will have to seek the proper consequences from these late developments. We can’t do or say anything to make these Islamic Fanatics love us. They hate our freedom, our way of life, our liberated women, our democracy, our bacon and eggs in the morning, our music. But they love our money, and more than anything, they love to hate us. This fuel propels them to their power. They thrive on their loathing. Without it, they have nothing. Nothing! They are the true face of Islam.
They claim they kill FOR Allah. If that is so, then the only conclusion I can come up with—Allah is NOT God. Allah is The Angel of Death.

It happened again. A car bomb parked at the heart of the busy city on the busiest day of the week went off but failed to produce the intended blast. It was pure luck. Many lives were spared, potential property damage and long-term psychological harm were averted.  It went down as a warning shot, a learning experience, a prelude to what’s coming next when Mother Luck is out to lunch.

Have we learned the lesson? Have we implemented the logical steps required to ward off a looming terrorists-triggered disaster?

My answer is—only partially. There are still plenty of cracks requiring solid wrappings before we can feel safe and secure. Americans, at times, seem like a bunch of kids whose inference is bounded by the exact replica of what they’ve experienced. We must start thinking outside the box. We must employ more imagination. If a terrorist used his shoes to hide a bomb, then it does not mean that shoes are the only hiding place for a body bomb. Why didn’t we think of underwear until it cropped up? Are we always one step behind the terrorists?  

The next terrorist attempt may not be in the form of a Nisan SUV car bomb. It could be a different car, a suicide bomber inside a bus, a theater, a shopping mall or a school. It may take place on a subway car, in a tunnel, on a bridge, inside a stadium, inairport lobbies ahead of the security checks, or any place where crowds are gathering. The fact that it has not happened yet, is not proof that it won’t. It could be executed in a much more professional fashion. It may even involve poison gas (like the one in my book—72 Virgins). The terrorists do not lack imagination; they learn from their mistakes; they improve. Their second attack on the World Trade Center on 9/11 is the best indication of their learning ability and developed imagination.

In my book, 72 Virgins—Countdown to a Terror Attack, I described the terrorists’ mindset. I demonstrated how they work, how they think, how they talk, how they pick their targets and why. Although it’s fiction, it borrows from the real world we live in. I do hope that those responsible for our security as well as the public at large, read the story, learn and implement preventive measures.

America should learn from the Israeli experience. That particular theater operates on several dimensions.
 ***The first one is education. The Israeli public is naturally alert and suspicious. Any package left unattended in a public place is immediately reported to the authorities who treat it like a potential bomb. Schoolchildren learn to practice this form of conduct starting at pre-school.
 ***The second one is profiling. When you watch an Arab looking person wearing a coat on a hot summer day, walking nervously, looking for some undefined spot, chances are he or she hide an explosives-filled suicide belt under their coat.
 ***The third one is security checkpoints. Those are not limited to government buildings. They are spread around wherever there is a potential opportunity for a terrorist to blow up on his way to heaven. These checkpoints are part of the scene on the way to the airport, at the entrance to high profile restaurants, hotels, movie theaters, and other gathering places. They operate on the assumption that Mother Luck is out on her Lunch Break.

New York City is a great place and therefore a great target for a terrorist attack. It’s not the only one. A small town in the Midwest may not possess the aura of Manhattan, nevertheless it’s an easy target, and therefore, a potential for a terrorists’ attack.

We will not be safe until we understand that we are not safe. We will not be safe until we expand our field of vision to include potential scenarios that have not yet materialized. We will not be safe until we educate the greater public, including our schoolchildren, to be on the watch for potential attacks. And if we implement caution and stronger preventive measure, chances are that luck will not be the only reason why we have not yet experienced the devastating catastrophe that is so normal all throughout the Muslim world of today.

EXPRESS COMMENT

WHY CAN'T THIS COUNTRY FOLLOW ISRAEL 'S LEAD?

Friday February 19,2010

By Chris Roycroft-Davis

EXCUSE me for not sending flowers to the funeral of the terrorist the Israelis bumped off in Dubai . Unlike the bleeding hearts in the liberal media I’m not shedding any tears.

As military chief of terrorist group Hamas, Mahmoud al Mabhouh had the blood of many Israeli soldiers and civilians on his hands. He was in charge of smuggling rockets and grenades into the Gaza Strip so his murderous gangs could lob them into Israel .

He could hardly complain when a hit squad from Mossad, the Israeli security service, brought his life to a swift end. To say he had it coming is an understatement.

So why such a fuss about his execution? Why has the Foreign office twisted the arm of the Israeli ambassador? And possibly the most crucial question of all: whose side are we on, the terrorists or those with the courage to stand up to them?

The Israelis don’t mess about, they don’t sit back and take it. You kill one of them and they will kill you. And afterwards they won’t explain, they won’t apologise, they won’t even deny it.

WORLD opinion means nothing – what ever London , Washington or Damascus may say the Israelis are convinced that they are right. An eye for an eye is the most basic concept of natural justice, dating back 4,000 years to Babylonian times and is promoted three times in the old Testament. Even in the New Testament Jesus says: Those who take up the sword shall die by the sword.

Did Mahmoud al-Mabhouh reflect on that as he checked in to room 230 at his posh hotel in Dubai ? He was the man behind the kidnapping and killing of two Israel soldiers 21 years ago; he had been smuggling arms into the Gaza Strip; he was believed to be in Dubai to buy more weapons from an Iranian dealer. If Mossad agents came to call they were hardly there to inquire after his health.

Unlike Britain , Israel doesn’t tolerate an enemy within. It doesn’t give those who hate them free housing and welfare handouts. It doesn’t let the right of free speech enable them to preach murder on its streets.

Retribution is a vital part of Israel ’s psyche. After the Second World War the Israelis spent half a century tracking down evil Nazis. When Israeli athletes were murdered at the 1972 Olympics their Palestinian killers were hunted around the world and eliminated: one by a bomb in his bed, another by a booby-trapped phone.

Who can forget the electrifying raid on Entebbe in 1976 when Israeli special forces stormed a hijacked airliner, killed the terrorists and freed all but three of the hostages? It was a salutary lesson to the world.

You’d think that Britain of all countries would understand the need to pull no punches with those who have sworn to be your enemies. That’s what the SAS did in Northern Ireland for more than 30 years, taking out IRA members before they could perpetrate further outrages. It is what our special forces did in Iraq and are doubtless doing in Afghanistan .

It is what the SAS should be doing today in Somalia , where British yacht couple Paul and Rachel Chandler are being held by pirates. Can you imagine the Israelis allowing two of their people to suffer so long in some fly-blown African hellhole?

Israel has no reason to be ashamed of its actions. As Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman points out: “our security activity is conducted according to the very clear, very cautious and responsible rules of the game.” rule No 1 of course in any security activity is kill or be killed.

Where Britain has a right to be upset, however, is the way the Israelis have carried out ID theft on the passports of six of our citizens. It’s not the first time they’ve done it and last time they promised they wouldn’t do it again.

One Foreign office source says Britain could cut ties with Mossad if the Israelis have been “found to be acting against British interests”. You might think executing the terrorist might be precisely in our interests but the career diplomats take a loftier view.

Gordon Brown says Israel has questions to answer about nicking our passports but the implication is that Britain wouldn’t be in the least bit put out if the Israeli hit squad had used fake documents from Libya , Japan , Peru – in fact anywhere other than Britain .

BROWN even has the cheek to spout that “a British passport is an important part of being British”. This from a Prime Minister whose policy was to welcome millions of immigrants so he could socially engineer the country to be less British and more likely to vote Labour.

We should take no lessons either from the BBC, which for too long refused to call Hamas suicide bombers “terrorists” and hid behind weasel words like “radicals” and “militants”. Its anti-Israel bias is clear today when BBC News pontificates that Israel “may have scored a costly own goal” by using British identities for what it calls “nefarious activities”.

Make no mistake, I think a British passport is the most valuable document in the world and I don’t like it being used to gain illegal entry to another country. But my top priority will always be security and the world is undoubtedly more secure now Hamas has lost another murderer from its ranks.

Dear Anti-Semite,
With the Haiti disaster and the brave Israeli efforts to help the victims by building the best (and only) real field hospital in Haiti equipped with real, professional surgical equipment, you have an opportunity for a new blood libel, claiming that Jews have come to Haiti in order to harvest human organs from sick and dying people.
With the recent vote on Ben Bernanke’s re-nomination for Fed Chairman, you, dear Anti-Semite, have an opportunity to blame him for the present economic recession, which he pulled away from the brink of another Great Depression. You can blame him, then generalize to all Jews, for causing the sub-prime crisis, and the following meltdown of all shadow banking institutions, including your 401K.
With Iran’s progress toward the making of a nuclear bomb, you can blame Albert Einstein for discovering the fact that mass (Uranium, in this particular case) can be converted to (nuclear) Energy. You can blame Oppenheimer for transforming that theory into a Manhattan project, then you can generalize to all Jews. It must be their fault that Iran is on the verge of a Nuclear bomb. Without these damn Jews—Einstein and Oppenheimer— and their science, there would have been no problem with Iran.
With the latest Bin Laden’s tape, blaming the US support of Israel as the reason for 9/11, you, my dear anti-Semite, can quote bin Laden. You can make him your new prophet from hell, then blame the Jews for Saddam’s invasion of Kuwait, Sudan’s genocidal war in Darfur, Hezbollah’s bombing of the American embassy in Beirut, Somali piracy, and the rotten cheese in your refrigerator.
If you want more ideas, check the Koran. It is filled with all kind of goodies that turns you on before you masturbate on a picture of your bonehead.
Best

National Survey of Jewish Voters
Date: April 14, 2010

________________________________________________________________________

Major Findings:
I. A plurality of Jewish voters would consider someone else for President.
According to the 2008 exit polls, Barack Obama won 78% to 21% among Jewish voters.
Now, in the second year of Obama’s presidency, only 42% of voters would re-elect him,
while the plurality (46%) would consider voting for someone else.
Would you vote to re-elect Barack Obama as President or would you consider voting for someone else?

Total
Re-Elect 42
Someone Else 46
Don’t Know/Refused 12

II. A significant portion of Jewish voters disapprove of the President’s handling
of relations with Israel.

Nearly four in ten Jewish voters (39%) disapprove of the job Barack Obama is doing
handling America’s relations with Israel. This rating is not good for a group of voters
who are 59% Democratic to only 16% Republican.

Do you approve or disapprove of the job Barack Obama is doing handling America’s relations with Israel?

Total
Approve 50
Disapprove 39
Don’t Know/Refused 11

III. Jewish voters do not support President Obama’s plan to recognize a
Palestinian state.

The majority of voters (52%) disapproves of the Obama Administration supporting a plan
to recognize a Palestinian state within two years. The majority of voters (64%) says that
Jerusalem should remain the undivided capital of Israel, while only 13% say that the
United States should force Israel to give up parts of Jerusalem to the Palestinians. Six in
ten voters (62%) say that the Palestinians would continue their campaign of terror to
destroy Israel if they were given a Palestinian state, while only 19% say they would live
peacefully with Israel. More than seven in ten voters (73%) say Israel is right to insist
__________________________________________________________________

2  upon the Palestinians accepting Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state before there are
any negotiations about a Palestinian state.

Do you approve or disapprove of the Obama Administration supporting a plan to recognize a
Palestinian state within 2-years regardless of whether or not Israel agrees?

Total

parts of Jerusalem, including Christian and Jewish holy sites, to the Palestinians?

Total
Undivided Capital 64
Parts to Palestinians 13
Don’t Know/Refused 23

Do you think that if the Palestinians were given their own state in the West Bank, part of Jerusalem, and
Gaza they would live peacefully with Israel or continue their campaign of terror to destroy Israel?

Total

Methodology:

McLaughlin & Associates conducted a national survey of 600 likely Jewish voters on
April 7th and 8th, 2010. All interviews were conducted via telephone by professional
interviewers. Respondents were randomly selected within predetermined geographic
units structured to correlate with actual voter turnout. The survey of 600 likely Jewish
voters has an accuracy of +/- 4.0% at a 95% confidence interval.

In my latest book—72 Virgins, some of the characters are members of a Jihad fraternity—a collection of Islamic fanatics, misguided by a faith-based hate, who seek martyrdom, whether it’s an individual or a collective goal. Iran is a leading force inside this mad fraternity—a point I was trying to make when writing the book. This is why Iran is so different from India, Pakistan, Israel, when it comes to the question of nuclear weapons.

It is a fact that among the official and unofficial nuclear club members none is controlled by an Islamic religious fanatic leader, whereas Iran is.

It is a fact that Islamic religious fanatics have no regard for innocent lives. They believe that Allah wants them to kill anyone who stands in the way to their version of world order. 9/11 proved that point.

It is a fact that Islamic religious fanatics take their orders directly from Allah’s earthly self appointed representatives and follow it blindly without a question.

It is a fact that Iran’s leader has already announced his intent to wipe Israel off the map. He clearly implied that he would use a nuclear bomb for the task had he had one.

There is a strong suspicion that Iran’s leaders view Israel as a requisite bus stop on the way to other Middle-Eastern countries, Europe, and beyond, in their Jihadi mission to cleanse the world from its infidels. Iran is not worried about nuclear retaliation. They are suicide bombers, remember? They are looking for a quick path to heaven, anticipating the great reward of 72 Virgins upon their heroic arrival.

There is a strong suspicion that Iran may actually bring its nuclear bomb into play, or let its Islamic comrades experiment with it on real human beings. There is no analogous anxiety when it comes to other members of the nuclear club.

But what about Israel? Why does the Western World beg off pressuring the Jewish state to open its nuclear facilities to international inspections? Why is Israel given a preferential treatment on the issue?

Apparently, the West, and the US specifically, understand that Israel would not use its nuclear arsenal in battle unless it is attacked or about to be attacked with WMD first. They understand that the Israeli capability is defensive, while the Iranian aspirations are offensive. They understand that Israel is the only country in the world whose citizens rather than their government are targeted for elimination by its religious fanatic enemies. Israel is the only country in the world whose citizens are subject to a massive genocide by those aspiring to nuke it.

The North Korean government does not want to kill all of its Southern neighbor citizens. It wants to control them. India and Pakistan do not want to kill all of their enemy civilians. Their dispute is confined to territorial control. All recent wars among nuclear members and other nations amounted to wars, cold or hot, between governments over territorial or political jurisdiction. These objectives are in contradiction to the utilization of WMD.

Iran’s “wipe them off the map” call is clearly a departure from the norm. If these neurotic desperados place their hands on this WMD button, the world may actually witness mushroom clouds for the first time since Nagasaki. And that is why Iran should never be allowed to exercise the nuclear potential.

In contrast to a common belief, one promoted by Islamic politicians and echoed by the western media, those who choose to end their lives as suicide bombers do not commit that atrocious act out of desperation. They carry out a mass killing of innocents with the aim of securing their place in heaven next to Allah’s throne. These people are brain-washed puppets, manipulated by cynical handlers and a promise of 72 virgins in Paradise as a reward for their act of martyrdom.

Many suicide bombers are well educated. Muhammad Atta, the 9/11 leader and mastermind, was a trained engineer. Most of his fellow killers had college education as well. They were not desperate people; they were merely brainwashed by extreme religious beliefs instilled in their brains via particular Koran verses.

The Koran is to religious Muslims what Hitler’s Mein Kampf was to Nazi Germans. Followers, fans and cult members view it as a holy book. They place their blind faith in every word and every concept put across these texts. Muhammd Atta was an educated man, but nevertheless, he was a cult member—member of al Qaeda. He was selfish. He did not sacrifice himself. He paved his way to his 72 virgins in Paradise through the blood and the suffering of thousands. And so are those Muslims who choose to kill their own Muslim brothers in Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and other Muslim countries. They don’t even bother to seek an enemy. Their murderous campaign is aimed at accidental strangers who have nothing to do with the suicide bomber’s “dispossessed” state. These murdered innocents are viewed by the murderer as instruments intended to pave his way to Paradise. That’s what he has been told; that’s what he believes.
