The danger of tirany

What is happening today in North Korea is a warning light to the whole world.
North Korea is not just another country with a mad leader ruling his people using threats and fear,  North korea has nuclear capabilities which means that in the case of unstable government like the one we are witnessing now in north Korea – with its leader Kim Jong il dead, a lot of bad things can happen (and probably will happen).
I am not talking about the launching of a nuclear weapon from Korea to another country , but imagine what would happen if someone will try to make a quick profit  - like they did with the fall of the soviet union, and sell those weapons to the highest bidder.
Imagine what would happen if a Terrorist organization mad enough to use such a weapon – and there are many, 9/11 is a proof that such organizations exist and the have no fear – and even worse – no respect for human lives.
That is exactly the case with Iran today – the only difference is that Iran does not yet have a functional nuclear weapon.
We know that in the Iran-iraq war the two countries used unconventional weapons including chemical and some say even biological weapons, what would happen if they have nuclear weapons? Can the world afford having such people with such capabilities?
Ahmedinidjad is threatening the word today – when he really has no real military power, how would he act if he had nuclear weapons?

Turkey is in over it’s head

The past couple of weeks have been a stand up comedy show by the Turkish government.

Turkey’s prime minister Arduan was going in public trying to show some muscles, asking Israel to apologize for it’s actions in the ship convoy where 9 terrorists were killed by the IDF trying to invade Israel.

Arduan claims that the convoy was peaceful and that the IDF is acting like a bully in the Mediterranean sea and that the siege on the Gaza strip should stop.

Even though the Palmer report show’s that the siege is legitimate and I am quite sure Turkey would have act the same under the circumstances, Arduan and his Turkish government insist that Israel will be on it’s knees asking for forgiveness.

We’ll mister Arduan, I guess you are not familiar with Israel and you’re own people – enough so here are some question for – maybe you can find some logic and answer – mainly yourself:

  1. There is no war between Turkey and Israel, why are you trying to cause one?Turkey and Israel were the best allies in the middle east, including economic treaties, military treaties, tourism was flourishing and so were businesses, so why are you trying to start a war?how would Turkey behave if Israel would send ships to Turkish shores, which are suspected to carry weapons for rebels and terrorists inside Turkey?
    I am quite sure those ships would get sunk faster then you can say Arduan…
  2. I would really like to know what does Mr. Arduan expect to happen next? Does he really expect Israel to apologize? Does he want war? Does he want to show his people that he has “the power” to command the Israeli prime minister? Think logically – none of Arduan’s demands will happen in real life, the best he can achieve ( maybe that’s what he want) is a burning middle east.
  3. If aiding the Palestinians is really Arduans goal, why doesn’t he send them supplies through the Israeli authorities who are more then willing to convey those supplies to the Palestinian?
  4. Talking about other countries is easy, sounding humane when it comes to other people is even easier, what about the Armenian genocide that Turkey was responsible to? Did everybody forget that? Did Arduan forget that?

    Any one observing Arduan’s behavior can easily see similarity to a child wanting other children toys and when he wont be able to get them’ he’ll start crying – we hope it wont be too late to back down.

    Stories and tales about israeli injustice are heard from Arduan’s mouth everyday now, and it seems that he doesn’t have a lot to say since Israeli prime minister Mr. Binyamin Netanyahu is completely ignoring him and his demands (quite rightfully) it makes Arduan seem like the boy who screams to mommy….

    Perhaps, If Arduan was such a peace loving person, perhaps he should have not allowed those ships to go out on the convoy which was bound to end as it did, perhaps he should have tried diplomacy back then – before he sent those ships to create the provocation that they did.

    Israel never refused humanitarian support or aid to anyone, on the contrary, it was the first to send aid to any catastrophy on the planet – Including the last earthquake in Turkey which left so many dead and many more with no roof over their heads – The rescue and recovery crews were composed mainly out of Israeli people and requirement.

    Freedom and Democracy – a great weapon

    It is long known now that modern enemies do not come charging at the opponent, instead, they seek a ways to use the opponent’s weaknesses against him.

    In the western world, one such weakness is Democracy, the other is freedom – as ironic as it sounds.

    The very base foundations of western civilization are threatening to destroy it from within using it’s own set of rules and laws.

    One classic example is the Palestinian authority wanting to be declared as a state in the united nations, when the Palestinian Authority leaders realized that things are not going their ways and that they will encounter resistance in the UN, the decided at least to join the UN as a “non-state member” only to have access to the UN facilities and serivces.

    Recently one of the officials in the Palestinian authority declared that the international court in Haag will have a lot of work in it’s hands, of course we all know that by “work” he meant lawsuits against Israel.

    It is funny though, a body which produces the most murderers, suicide bombers, baby killers etc… wishes to have access to a war crime international court, and they will have it do not be mistaken!

    Maybe, before the Court in Haag discusses even one case handed by the Palestinian authority, maybe they will charge them for killing a whole family in Itamar recently? A father a mother 2 kids and a 4 months old baby?

    Maybe they will charge them for killing 26 teenagers in the Dolphinarium in Tel Aviv?

    The list is long and this is not the aim of this article, the thing is:

    We provide our enemies – Terorists the means to sue us in our court houses.

    We help our enemies destroy us.

    The next thing you know, the USA will be sued in the Haag court for letting jewish people live in the united states, or for not letting them build a masque in Manhattan.

    The ability to sue anyone anywhere for wrong doing is part of our basic right and freedom, but answer yourself:

    would they be able to sue the Iranian government for killing thousands of innocent people in Tehran?

    Just recently protester against the Iranian regime were arrested (and probably killed), stories from Iranian prisons keep shaking us daily and we still allow them to use our basic freedom?

    Maybe the next stage will be “if a women doesn’t cover her face in the streets of Manhattan, Chicago, Miami, Los Angles etc…” you will be arrested and brought in front of a judge!

    The fog of war is in the horizon

    warWhile the rest of the world is celebrating Bin Laden’s death thinking it will mark a turning point in the war on terror, in Jerusalem, thousands of Muslims are praying for his soul in the Al-Aqtza mosque.

    As Recent events show in the middle east Arab leaders cannot keep a stable leadership nor can they control their citizens.

    With these two facts in mind, how can anyone even begin to imagine, Israel accepting the 67 borders in the UN decision 242 from 1948(!) ?
    63 years have passed since the jewish state was founded and the borders were set, in those 63 years, The Palestinians NEVER accepted the UN decision nor do they accept it now, Abu-Mazen still says the Palestinians will never recognize the Israeli state (which is part of the 242 decision) and that Israel will be Palestine again one day.
    Only an Idiot would think voting for such a decision in the UN will provide nothing else then an all out WAR between Israel and whom ever will choose to intervene in the conflict should the voting decide on a Palestinian state in the 1967 borders.

    Israel will NEVER allow such a decision to take place in the field, there is too much that has happened since we wanted to live in peace in 1947 and right now, millions of Israelis will be at risk should the border pass in the 1967 layout.

    One should really come here and see how close the 1967 border line passes from Israeli cities and due to recent events in the southern part of Israel where missiles and rockets are lunched every day on Israeli cities, Israel will NOT allow that to happen in: Tel Aviv, Netanya, Hadera, Haifa, Jerusalem, Ramat Gan etc…

    Sadly, the feeling in Israel is a pre-war feeling, erevyone is ready, and although no defcon has been declared, we, the Israeli citizens know better, we can smell the fog of war coming towards the region.

    This is not just another article about who is better then whom, what is happening now in Syria, Lybia, Egypt etc…may be dwarfed by the upcoming war in which the blood spilled will be on the hands of those who vote “yes” for a Palestinian state.

    Games theory

    I think the IHH has been reading to much science fiction lately.
    As I read on the news now, they are planning on sending more “aid ships” to Israeli waters in hopes that maybe if they show they are determined, Israel will allow them to go through without a security check and without verifying there are no weapons aboard those ships.

    It’s kind of amusing, if the IHH claims the ships carry humanitarian aid supplies, why don’t they allow the Israeli government check those ships and then deliver the goods to Gaza? If those ships do not carry missiles and rockets, why do those aboard those ships fight to defend the ships with their lives?

    There are many whys in these so called “aid cruises” but the bottom line is, Israel will never allow a vessel to approach it’s shores, especially the Gaza strip shores, unchecked.

    Think what would you do? If you knew you enemies are delivering weapons to hurt your civilians, women, children, elderly – missiles make no discrimination.
    Israel has no choice but to stop those ships and check for weapons in any mean necessary, even at the cost of lives, otherwise’ the outcome will be loss of lives among Israeli children.

    I am quite sure that the next ship which will approach the Israeli shores will stop, and if it wont, it will be boarded, and if that doesn’t succeed, I am quite sure the IDF also has a plan of sinking those ships – anything but let missiles and rockets reach the Gaza strip.

    The reason for those cruises is quite known. The Egyptian border is getting tighter, and watched closely by both the Israeli and Egyptian sides so the missiles and rockets cannot come from there, so the other option is to send a ship with hidden weapons disguised as a “Humanitarian Aid ship” – we all know the world loves an underdog – and the Palestinians win either way.

    If the ship gets boarded the passengers will then go around the world telling everyone “how brutal and aggressive the IDF is”, if they won’t get boarded (which I doubt) they can deliver missiles to the Hamas and Islamic Jihad – it’s a win win situation for the Palestinians, Hopefully, the world will be smarter this time, and ask some questions such as:
    Why won’t the ships allow the IDF to check for weapons on board if they only carry humanitarian aid?

    With great power…

    The israeli Foreign minister Avigdor Liberman claims that a cease fire with theHamas Terrorist organization is a mistake, the cease fire will allow Hamas to re-equip itself with weapons and missiles and get stronger until the next attack.
    “What would you do?”:

    The question Mr. liberman is posing is quite a difficult one. If one wants peace, one needs to cease fire, but if the other side’s interests are different and they will get more weapons until the next attack – it is a bad idea to stop the fighting.

    Unfortunately, experience shows us that whenever Israel stopped the fire, the other side, be it Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hizbollah or whatever terrorist organization we were fighting, instead of striving for peace, they took advantage of the cease fire to buy more weapons and plan the next attack on Israeli civilians.

    It is however somewhat frustrating, I am sure that there are Palestinians who really do want the fighting to stop, and really do want peace, but Israel as a country which had it’s share of lies being told and the acting of it’s enemies as if “all they want is peace”, cannot afford to loosen the grip – especially not when the Hamas is now on it’s knees and the IDF is in control, the Israel missile defense system “Iron Dome” made Hamas and Islamic Jihad’s attempts to kill Israeli civilians futile, the missile blow up in the air long before they reach the ground, and those who fired those missiles are often caught or shot dead.

    To remember a movie quote from spiderman “…With great power comes great responsibility…” the quote is right but the question – what counts as power?
    A high tech defense system shooting down the rockets and missiles? Or those who fire those rockets upon civilians?

    Iron Dome – tipping the balance

    After years of launching rockets towards the southern part of Israel, the scales are now tipping towards the Israeli side.
    The Iron Dome defense system is now operational for a week, although partially and not covering the whole southern area, but the rockets which used to scare hundreds of thousands of Israeli civilians are now decreasing in threat as the Iron dome defense system deploys more and more.
    Iron Dome in Action:

    Over the weekend more then 100 rockets were fired by the Palestinians on Israeli women and children in the aim to kill the innocent, thanks to the Israeli Iron dome system all but 6 were shot down and did not cause loss of lives.

    The question remains, if now, Israel can defend itself against the threat of Palestinians missiles, does that deny the Israeli right to try and stop those missiles the way it did before? Will “cast Iron 2” be condemned by the international community when it happens?

    My answer, sadly, is yes, the world will condemn Israel for any attack it will make in the Palestinian territories, because the world still reacts to blood, and when no blood will be shown on the Israel side thanks to technology, the international community will react better to the wounded Palestinian shown on TV then to a decade of missile lunches and hundreds of Israeli wounded by those missiles.

    Men is a simple creature and as many others in nature we react impulsively and respond better to what we see, in most cases, disregarding prior events.

    The Massacre in Itamar where Palestinians murdered a whole family, mother, father and 4 children, the lynch in the Israel soldiers where Palestinians tore Israeli soldiers body parts with their hands, the suicide bombers which got on buses and blew hundreds of civilians with no discrimination.

    The world will forget all that upon the first image of a bloody Palestinian which will be shown on the screen.

    The press is also blood-happy, lets face it, blood=ratings, ratings=more money, so to simplify it:

    blood=more money

    This is also the reason the the Israeli-Palestinan conflict will never end, too many powerful people will loose if it does, so those people or organizations or whatever – keep the fire burning.

    Only Arabs can…

    Last night a whole Jewish family was MURDERED BY ARABS.

    The Family: Mother, Father, an 11 years old boy, a 3 years old buy and a 4 moths old baby were found by their other 12 years old daughter as their throats cut with a knife in the village of Itamar in Israel.

    The 4 months old baby was murdered in it’s father’s arms and the killers, ARABS are hunted down by the police and military.

    Who else can perform such a hideous crime? Who can kill a 4 months old baby? A 3 years old boy? An 11 years old boy? For no reason but “Killing in the name of Islam?”.

    What other religion produces such atrocities?  People so twisted with a religion preaching for killing in it’s name?

    What people around the globe probably don’t understand is that right now, this is happening in Israel, because international public opinion restrains Israel from blasting the territories out of the map, but this may be over soon.

    Retaliation will come.  I like to think I am a peace loving person, but in this case, I really do hope Israelis will retaliate and do it properly this time.

    The settlers in the territories will respond and the IDF MUST have an answers to people who think and live by the sword.

    I don’t buy the bullshit about Islam being a peaceful religion, it may be but it is enough to have a few rotten apples to make the whole basket go bad, and in this case there are much more then a few rotten apples.

    To the rest of the world I say WAKE UP the next murder can be of our family, your sons and daughters, Islam makes no discrimination as we witnessed last night.

    Iran’s right for nuclear fuel

    the Saga continues, Iran keeps making jokes at the expense of the international community and the funny thing is that everyone keeps “buying” that.

    Phrases like “Iran has a right to have nuclear reactors for “civilian” purposes and in the same breath they keep threatening the world and Israel in particular that they will annihilate it completely.

    How can anyone take a peaceful statement or anything that resembles caring for Iranian citizens when militant threats are heard every other day by Iranian leaders and the Iranian president in particular.

    In addition, the fact that Iranian funded weapons keep “finding their way” into terrorist hands does not help Iran base it’s claim for “the right to bring nuclear generated electricity” to it’s people.

    It is well known that Iran’s only target is a nuclear weapon, but for some reason the international community keeps sanctioning the country showing the world something is done. The fact is, that there are some countries and Israel is one of them, that will never allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon. Whether we have the right to demand that from Iran or the international community is irrelevant, Israel will eliminate any nuclear future threat from Iran with any means necessary.

    So to the world leaders I say: if you do want to prevent bloodshed and if you do want to have peace in the middle east and the world in general, start working harder to disarm Iran from it’s to be – nuclear capabilities, otherwise a military conflict will be inevitable.

    The US also understands that Israel – it’s only true ally in the region will not allow Iran to achieve nuclear weapon capabilities, the US tries to achieve the same goal in peaceful means for a couple of years now, but since they have had no success in the matter, they will ultimately have no choice but to raise the bar.

    An ultimatum is imminent as Iran keeps ignoring the international calls to stop nuclear development, the upcoming decisions will decide the faith of this region and the world in general. No one can think of a world where Iran will be able to threat other countries with nuclear attacks, they do that today with conventional weapons – imagine the world with a nuclear Iran with leaders such as Ahmedinidjad making threats every other day but this time – they will be much more dangerous.

    The Wikileaks parse

    Everybody is talking these days about the wikileaks website. In my eyes it is merely a media item, I cannot believe that a country as powerful as the United states of America cannot stop a group of men trying to publish confidential materiel on the internet which the US , if needed, can shut down all together.

    The press releases about 400,000 confidential documents see to me obscure and imaginary and to tell you the truth, I don’t think anyone can check the authenticity of these documents. Be that as it may, the world media (and as far as I know only the media) is having a PR orgasm everybody is talking about it and stories about the wikileaks website keep rising from time to time.

    The CNN website is full of such stories and I have to ask myself, the CIA is a very powerful organization, maybe even the most powerful secret service in the world, if the documents were authentic, and if this really was a threat, couldn’t such an organization stop such leaks?

    Another question which rises is why would anyone right in their mind try and publish such documents? It is the same as signing your own death warrant, you will always be hunted and never free, your life will take place in dark places surrounded with investigators and government people, and the only time you will see daylight will be probably – at your own execution.

    I am really finding this item hard to believe and as I think further about it I keep finding holes and fact that strongly indicate that such leaks exist only in the media’s wet dreams, information as sensitive as the one at hand leaking out of government offices cannot take place at such scale. I would understand one two or maybe ten documents leaking to the public, and I am pretty sure every country has it’s own secrets to leak but 400,000 documents? Common, even for the consiprators amongst us – this is too much!
