Israeli Innovation: Airport Lie Detectors
Excerpt:
“According to Nemesysco’s CEO, Amir Lieberman, the system would not err when dealing with people who are naturally under pressure as they board their flights and would not mistake them for terrorists or drug dealers. The system has also been installed at banks and insurance companies in Britain in order to detect fraud attempts.”
Commentary:
I don’t care how many rationalizations the manufacturer makes to sell his technology; How many innocent people are going to be harrassed, prevented from making their flights, treated like terrorists because they are nervous, figiting out of fear of flying, accompanying a dead body to Eretz Yisrael, person concerns, family concerns, etc.?

’Arabs Taking Over Jordan Valley’
Excerpt:
“‘Two and a half years ago, the IDF abandoned several camps, and there was an agreement with the defense and agriculture ministers that we could use the land for farming,’ Tal explained. ‘Nothing happened because the Lands Administration wanted lease money…but the Arabs have no problem in taking over the land’ without any government interference.”
This fits right in to the mold of the Government of Israel’s agendization regarding the Jordan Valley which was addressed in a previous post. MB

One Injured in Jerusalem Rock-Throwing Attacks
Eviction! Of the Arabs from the Jewish homeland!
by Yaakov Landsman
Excerpts;
Parsha VaYera. Genesis 21 reads, in Part:
“9. Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian [Yishmael] , whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking [Isaac].”
“10. Therefore she said to Abraham, ‘Cast out [garesh] this handmaid and her son! For the son of this handmaid will not inherit [yirash] with my son, with Isaac.'”
“The contest for inheritance begins early – who will succeed Abraham? Who will inherit his land, his riches, and his blessing? As a small child, Ishmael was already bringing violence, lewdness and idolatry into the household. Sarah notes Ishmael’s behavior, especially his jealousy of Isaac. She no doubt knew that her husband Abraham was very connected to Ishmael, and yet, she must have thought the problem was important enough to demand: ‘Cast out [garesh] this handmaid and her son! For the son of this handmaid will not inherit [ki lo yirash] with my son, with Isaac.'”
Strong Evidence There Were WMD Weapons in Iraq
Excerpts of Where the WMDs Went
“Tierney:
A London Sunday Times article in 2001 by Gwynne Roberts quoted an Iraqi defector as stating Iraq had nuclear weapons in a heavily guarded installation in the Hamrin mountains. Jabal Makhul is the most heavily guarded location in the Hamrin mountains. With its under-mountain bunker, isolation, and central location, it is the perfect place to store a high-value asset like a nuclear weapon.”
“On nukes, some analysts wait until there is unambiguous proof before stating a country has nuclear weapons. This may work in a courtroom, but intelligence is a different subject altogether. I believe it is more prudent to determine what is axiomatic given a nation’s capabilities and intentions. There was no question that Iraq had triggering mechanisms for a nuke, the question was whether they had enriched enough uranium. Given Iraq’s intensive efforts to build a nuke prior to the Gulf War, their efforts to hide uranium enrichment material from inspectors, the fact that Israel had a nuke but no Arab state could claim the same, my first-hand knowledge of the limits of UNSCOM and IAEA capabilities, and Iraqi efforts to buy yellowcake uranium abroad (Joe Wilson tea parties notwithstanding), I believe the TWELVE years between 1991 and 2003 was more than enough time to produce sufficient weapons grade uranium to produce a nuclear weapon. Maybe I have more respect for the Iraqis’ capabilities than some.”
