RETALIATION: Retaliation of 15 Year old Palestinian; Retaliation of Rockets From Gaza Starting Now? IS Leader Calling for Jihad

Nadene Goldfoot                                     

Retaliation of all the rockets being shot from Gaza into Israel is starting.  A warning was given of 48 hours from Israel.  That was up another 48 hours later or more, but   after Saturday's long distance rocket just barely missing Be'er Sheva, the IDF air force went in and hit targets where rockets are shot from at 3:16 am this morning.  No one was injured or hit but they did do damage.  Jerusalem is damaged, too, from all the rioting going on from the murder of the 15 year old. 

Israel took out 10 terror targets in Gaza. One target was a Fajr missile storage facility.  They destroyed a weapons making factory as well and a Hamas building and a tunnel.                                

Rioting and destruction has been going on in Jerusalem ever since a Muslim boy's burned body was found  right at the time of the burial of the 3 Jewish boys who were kidnapped, bound and shot.  The Muslim population were going crazy in anger, though we knew at the time that Hamas was responsible for the murders of the Israeli boys and the reaction of that came from the frantic police and IDF who were searching for them.  It took 2 weeks to find their half buried bodies outside of Hebron.  This caused a lot of Palestinians to be rounded up and taken in to be questioned, but the Israelis didn't become violent about it.  It was a pretty reasonable outcome considering that Hamas and even Fatah have been goading their people into taking such action.
                                                                             

But for the Israelis? They're not calling the murderers heroes or passing out candy like the Muslims had reacted to the death of the 3 Jewish teens.  The murderers will be prosecuted.   There is nothing in our teaching or programming that would cause anyone to be vindictive and take the law into their own hands to get even.  Yet, that is Israel's police conclusion.  They are holding 3 Jews, of which a few are minors.  They haven't been charged with the murder yet, as the investigation is still ongoing.  

I'm an addict of the USA's Law and Order.  I see crazy reasons on that program for killings and what the police have to go through to actually bring a person to court and get a conviction.  Each country has their own laws and ways of dealing with it.  In the USA one is innocent until proven guilty.  In England, one is guilty until proven innocent.  Israel follows the American way.  

                                                                                 

What I know is that if true, the guilty Jews were more than stupid.  We live by the Golden Rule; Don't do to others what you don't want others to do unto you.  Murder is one of the 10 Laws that we are not to commit.  Revenge is not allowed in our culture.  I don't like to see our people sink to the level of our opponents.  That's why we have rules of ethics and morals.

                                                                           

In the heat of the sadness of realizing that children, two 16 year olds and one 19 year old had been kidnapped right after their attendance of a school of which a 16 yr old was also an American, a Yeshiva, that would have turned them into rabbis, it's easy to see some young hotheads could have felt the need to retaliate. 

 All the country were in mourning.  The emotions and vibrations were electric at that time.  Anger was being held back, but not with whoever killed this Palestinian boy.  I still find it hard to believe that it was Jews who acted in revenge, but it's possible.  Law and Order shows people that nothing is impossible; even parents killing their own children.  We have a case of that right now being documented on TV of a father who cooked his baby in a hot enclosed car while he went to work.

That brings up the possibility still, that the parents are relatives of this Muslim boy are guilty of the crime because there have been several honor killings happening among the Muslim community of Israel, as it happens also in the USA.  The family is suspect, and the boy was possibly a homosexual boy.

I heard on CNN that Obama was complaining about the Muslim's death and that he was also an American! .  He wanted the killer or killers to be found ASAP.  Did he make that much noise when our 16 yr old American Jewish boy and his 2 Jewish classmates, also a 16 yr old and a 19 yr old, were kidnapped and killed?  The mothers of the 3 even went to plead at the United Nations and they received a cold shoulder and disbelief.  They weren't even taken seriously.  But oh my!  The Muslim death is really important!  All children killed out of any reason should be taken seriously.  It certainly is on Law and Order.  It is in Israel, that I know.  Is this how the Palestinians plan on making their state Judenrein, which they have warned?  "Our state will be Judenrein, Not one Jew shall live here!" Yada yada yada yada!!!" And that's essentially what Obama, Kerry and the EU agreed to when they nodded their heads.

It is said that there are no coincidences in life, yet here we have an American-Israeli 16 year old and an American-Palestinian 15 year old both killed and for why?  Both seem to have been killed in an act of revenge.  With the Jewish boy, that killing's revenge seems to be just the fact that Jews are living in their ancient homeland of Judea and Samaria.  What else?  The Palestinians were just recognized by Obama and the EU.  Out in Gaza the rockets were shooting right into southern Israel.  If anyone has a beef, it's the Israelis.

Abu Akr al Baghdadi was just seen on Fox News TV in Mosul giving a speech in a Mosque and calling for Jihad. (not confirmed as yet that it was indeed him-but if you ask me, he looked just like the photograph of him.) this is the month of Ramadan and everyone there listening must also have had a twinge of hunger.  They haven't been afraid of showing very graphic and bloody videos of their actions.  Yet I see it's hard for people in the Middle East to believe the Western reporting about him.

Tourist Bus in Egypt Exploded By Terrorists

Nadene Goldfoot
The Taba border crossing is between Egypt and Israel and is near Eilat.  A tourist bus carrying 30 tourists of many nationalities suddenly exploded while on the Egyptian side killing 5 people of which 4 were from Korea and injuring 14 others.  Egypt has had to deal with terrorists from Jihad and al Qaeda more frequently since Morsi is on trial and has stirred up the Muslim Brotherhood to attack.  This happened Sunday, Egypt time.  Egypt is about 12 hours ahead of Pacific Standard Time.  

"The bus was on its way to Israel at the time, after visiting St. Catherine’s monastery in the Sinai."  They believe a bomb exploded in front of the bus.

Muslim Brotherhood Goals
Nadene Goldfoot
Jihad is the Way by Mustafa Mashur, a former Muslim Brotherhood leader,  has been translated to tell us its ideology.  The Brotherhood says that Jihad should be waged against the "thieving gangs of Zion."  Mashur was the official leader of the Muslim Brotherhood from 1996 until he died in 2002.  I have a feeling that Sheik Yusuf al-Qaradawi, formerly of Egypt and now from Qatar might be today's leader.

Last week the Muslim Brotherhood party that won 40% of the votes last week stands for "Freedom and Justice" party.  The Salafists, another Islamist party, won 20%, so the Muslim fundamentalists have a sound majority of votes now.

The book goes on to say that "the problems of the Islamic world, such as Palestine, Afghanistan, Syria, Eritrea, and the Philippines, are problems of Islam and the Muslims, and they can be resolved neither by negotiation nor by recognizing the enemy's right to the Islamic land he stole.  Rather, the option is Jihad for Allah, and this is why Jihad is the way."

The Muslim world still does not want to accept the fact that Israel was created legally in the world in 1948 through the U.N., as well as the fact that people living there bought the land legally according to Ottoman Empire law as well from landowners.  Muslims came to this conclustion in 1967 after Israel won a war against all the Arab states who banned together to wipe her out, and lost.  Israel, as if by a miracle, had won against all odds against their massed force.  It was something the Muslims never expected to happen. 

President Obama was never nervous about the party taking over, even being they are so well organized.  His administration has made recent overtures to them, such as opening up a dialogue.  Previously, it was considered a shunned terrorist party by Bush. 

The author advised every Muslim, "Prepare yourself and train in the art of warfare.  You must learn the ways and manners and laws of war.  You must learn and embrace them and adhere to them, so that your Jihad will be the one accepted by Allah.  Not surprisingly, Mashur presched war against Israel.  "Honorable brothers have achieved Shahada (Martyrdom) on the soil of beloved Palestine during the years of 1947 and 1948 in their Jihad against the criminal, thieving gangs of Zion." 

Following in his steps is Sheik Yusuf al-Qaradawi with his fatwa against all Jews which is to kill us all.    He lashed out in a sermon on January 9, 2009 calling on G-d to "kill them, down to the very last one."

My question is how do our leaders deal with such people who have a one tract mind and refuse to face facts?  They live in denial.  They would rather die and inherit their 72 virgins than live in a peaceful world in which Jews are back to their original home.

Qassam Rocket Attacks From Gaza in 2010

Nadene Goldfoot

Rockets have been fired from Gaza constantly all during 2010 from the first of January to this date. Operation Cast Lead did not deter the enemy. This means that all of Southern Israel has been under attack for the past 11 months of this year. The areas of Sderot and Ashkelon are the places that most artillery fall. Though actual buildings may not be hit, the psychological effect is most unnerving. One never knows if the next one will hit you.

Just in this month of November, 7 rockets and mortar shells were fired on Israel. Yesterday, being the 18th in Israel, 3 mortar shells hit the areas in the Eshkol Regional Council. Luckily, no damages or injuries resulted, except the extra beating of hearts of citizens in the area living on the edge.


Israel retaliated and our air strike took out two militants in Gaza City. They belonged to the Army of Islam, this group being copycats of Al-Qaeda. The result is that Israel has received threats in broken Hebrew from the group in that jihad will continue. This is a first to receive threats in Hebrew, even though most Gazans can speak it.

Israel has endured attacks throughout the land since 1948, yet a Portlander called Israel the "bully" today in the Oregonian's Letters to the Editor. I don't think people read anything except something that comes up telling them that Israel is so bad. Facts will just confuse them. It's truly disgusting. We need a public relations office.

The Problems of Verifying Facts From Gaza

Gaza Doctor: Hamas Exaggerated Gaza Death Toll

Nadene Goldfoot
- 600 Killed, Mostly Fighters, Not 1,300 - Yossi Bar (Maariv-Hebrew)

The Italian newspaper Corriere della Serra Thursday quoted a doctor at Shifa Hospital in Gaza City saying that, despite Hamas and UN claims, most of those killed in Gaza were young men who were members of terror groups. “The number of deaths was between 500-600...most were young men between 17 and 23 who were recruited into the ranks of Hamas, which sent them to be slaughtered,” he said. Journalist Lorenzo Cremonesi confirmed that only 600 people were killed, and not 1,300 as was widely reported, based on hospital visits and discussions with families of the victims.

“It was strange that the non-governmental organizations, including Western ones, repeated the number without checking, but the truth will come to light in the end,” said the doctor. “It's like what happened in Jenin in 2002,” he said. “At the beginning they spoke of 500 dead; afterwards it was clear there were only 54 dead, at least 45 of them fighters.”

Hamas Doesn't Always Wear A Uniform: 750 Killed

Jan. 22, 2009YAAKOV KATZ and JPost.com staff , THE JERUSALEM POST
Despite a report by Lorenzo Cremonesi, a correspondent for Italy's Corriere della sera, that the number of Palestinians killed in Operation Cast Lead did not exceed five or six hundred, Israeli defense officials on Thursday said there were around 1,300 Palestinians killed during the fighting in Gaza and that a majority of them were Hamas operatives.

The IDF's Gaza Coordination and Liaison Administration has already compiled a list with 900 names of Palestinians killed during the operation, out of which 750 are believed to be Hamas operatives.
The IDF estimated that two-thirds of those killed were gunmen affiliated with Hamas, Islamic Jihad and other Palestinian terror factions. At least 500 are believed to have been members of Hamas's military wing.
Hamas, defense officials said, purposely covered up the number of dead and on Sunday claimed that only 48 members of its military wing had been killed. Many bodies belonging to Hamas operatives were being stored - officials said - in the morgue in Shifa Hospital in Gaza City.

The vast majority of the Hamas operatives killed were not wearing uniforms to disguise their affiliation, another reason for the exaggerated estimate of civilian casualties by the United Nations.
The IDF's Military Intelligence has set up a team to come up with a comprehensive list including the names and affiliation of all of the Palestinians killed during Operation Cast Lead. The list, officials said, would be completed in the coming two weeks.

In addition to reporting that no more than 500 or 600 Palestinians were killed in Gaza during the IDF operation, Cremonesi, who based his report on tours of hospitals in the Gaza Strip and on interviews with families of casualties, assessed the number of wounded to be far lower than 5,000, the number quoted by Hamas and repeated by the UN and the Red Cross in Gaza.

"It is sufficient to visit several hospitals [in the Gaza Strip] to understand that the numbers don't add up," he wrote.

In the European hospital in Rafah, one of the facilities which would presumably be filled with wounded from the "war of the tunnels," many beds were empty, according to Cremonesi. A similar situation was noted in the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, and in the privately-run Amal Hospital Cremonesi reported that only five out 150 beds were occupied.

Cremonesi interviewed Gazans who echoed Israel's insistence of how Hamas gunmen used civilians as human shields. One Gazan recalled civilians in Gaza shouting at Hamas and Islamic Jihad men, "Go away, go away from here! Do you want the Israelis to kill us all? Do you want our children to die under their bombs? Take your guns and missiles with you."

"Traitors, collaborators with Israel, spies of Fatah, cowards! The soldiers of the holy war will punish you. And in any case you will all die, like us. Fighting the Zionist Jews we are all destined for paradise. Do you not wish to die with us?" the religious fanatics of Hamas reportedly responded.

Other Palestinians told Cremonesi of Hamas operatives donning paramedic uniforms and commandeering ambulances. A woman identified as Um Abdullah, 48, spoke of Hamas using UN buildings as launch pads for rockets.

Cremonesi reported that he had difficultly gathering evidence as the local population was terrified of Hamas.

Hamas Charter to Obliterate Israel

Nadene Goldfoot

Many naysayers just don't believe what's in the Hamas Charter.

Here are the points.

The principles of the Hamas are stated in their Covenant or Charter, given in full below. Following are highlights.

"Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it."

"The Islamic Resistance Movement believes that the land of Palestine is an Islamic Waqf consecrated for future Moslem generations until Judgement Day. It, or any part of it, should not be squandered: it, or any part of it, should not be given up. "

"There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors."

"After Palestine, the Zionists aspire to expand from the Nile to the Euphrates. When they will have digested the region they overtook, they will aspire to further expansion, and so on. Their plan is embodied in the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion", and their present conduct is the best proof of what we are saying."
