Israel and The Sin of Expulsion

.
Commentary;

The reports and commentaries below prove conclusively this blog’s assertion of a hodge-podge, hit-or-miss set of aims and goals regarding the elimination of rocket and mortar attacks from Gaza. They prove conclusively that the regime’s true aims and goals fall far beneath TOTAL Victory and vanquishment of an enemy sworn to vanquish, decimate and eradicate us. MB

These pictures, taken Wednesday at the joint news conference after meetings between Foreign Minister Tzipy Livni and Secretary of State Rice, tell the story of Livni’s being lost, way over her head; a paradigm picture, better than thousands of words, of subservience, supplicance, subordination and incompetency before Condoleeza Rice as if a deity.

Censor Bans Reporting Exact Sites of Rocket Attacks

Excerpt;
“IDF censors have banned the immediate reporting of exact locations of rocket attacks because the latest missiles are more accurate and contain more destructive warheads than Kassams.”

Commentary;

The repeated saber-rattling of the Olmert-Livni-Barak regime has long-since passed way beyond embarrassing. Each episode of saber-rattling, of talking the talk, is inevitably followed shortly thereafter by these incompetent, self-serving political hacks backing down out of fear, intimidation by, and subserviance to the superpower. Without a belief-based rooting, these irreligious so-called “leaders” are thus disabused of “walking the walk.”

And so what results is, as with the Lebanon conflict, a hodge-podge, hit-or-miss set of aims and goals far beneath TOTAL Victory and vanquishment of the enemy sworn to vanquish and decimate us. As this blog has repeatedly noted, the goal of the regime is to bring international forces to Gaza, as with Lebanon. And, as any thinking person knows; international “peacekeeping” forces lack total credibility based on past record. read more

Excerpt;

Officers blocked workers from continuing unauthorized “surfacing work,” said Jerusalem police chief Cmdr. Aharon Franco. “It is our duty to ensure that the status quo is maintained on the Temple Mount.” He said Wakf officials had planned to carry out the work as a result of the tensions in east Jerusalem over the recent violence in the Gaza Strip and that the unusual police intervention sparked opposition on the holy site. read more

Commentary;

If one has selective amnesia concerning the broken UN Emergency force mandate which was put in place as a result of Sinai campaign, one surely ought to be able to intellectualize the realization of the flawed Lebanon peacekeeping mission under whose noses Hezbollah has amassed 30,000 rockets and scream bloody murder at a regime which defines victory in a way which is not victory and who sets goals of “winning,” be it in Lebanon or in Gaza, as the one-sided placement of multi-national forces.
