Israel Matzav: Fatah high school graduation: Haifa and Jerusalem are 'Palestine'

Fatah high school graduation: Haifa and Jerusalem are 'Palestine'

Palestinian school books and educational television routinely teach children to envision a world without Israel. One of the results can be seen in this graduation ceremony sponsored by Fatah in which high school graduates in a speech identify the Israeli cities Haifa, Acre, Jaffa and Jerusalem as part of "Palestine."

This was shown on Al-Filistiniya TV (Fatah), July 28, 2009

Israel Matzav: Mary Robinson whines to the media

Mary Robinson whines to the media

Mary Robinson has gone whining to the media in her home country, Ireland, over the criticism that has been leveled at the Obama administration by 'certain elements of the Jewish community' for awarding her the Medal of Freedom, the United States' highest civilian honor.

Ms Robinson hit back yesterday at what she described as allegations "totally without foundation" of her condoning anti-Semitic behaviour at the Durban World Conference Against Racism in 2001.

"It's totally without foundation but when stuff is out on the internet, I'm not quite sure what you can do," Ms Robinson told RTE Radio One yesterday.

Israel Matzav: 'By the end of 2009, Iran will be capable of building a nuclear bomb'

'By the end of 2009, Iran will be capable of building a nuclear bomb'

The chief of the IDF's military intelligence research division Yossi Baidatz said on Tuesday that by the end of 2009, Iran will have the technological ability to build a nuclear bomb. The Times of London made a similar assessment on Monday.

Baidatz said that while Iran's behavior had been cautious, it was continuing to enhance its nuclear power, Israel Radio reported.

Israel Matzav: Fatah conference prepared the way for third 'intifadeh'

Fatah conference prepared the way for third 'intifadeh'

Former General Security Service chief Avi Dichter of the center-left Kadima party argued before Tuesday's Fatah conference that its expected decisions were laying the groundwork for a third 'Palestinian' 'intifadeh' (uprising) that would rain more death and destruction on Israel.

"Fatah's statements are clearing the way to what may eventually be the third intifada," he said. "Once you say that the fight will go on by all means necessary – anyone in their right mind understands that spells an armed conflict... Such a decision by the congress would send us years back."

"It is very clear, even now, that the Palestinians have no intention of missing an opportunity – to miss an opportunity," he said.

Israel Matzav: Abu Mazen opens his mouth and lies again

Abu Mazen opens his mouth and lies again

As some of you may recall, Tuesday is the day that the first Fatah conference in 20 years is being held in Bethlehem. I'm sure at least some you thought hoped dreamed that Fatah would decide to drop the violence and recognize enter into negotiations with Israel. Well, keep dreaming. The delegates to the Fatah conference are competing to make the most anti-Israel statements possible.

After they condemned Hamas and pledged to continue to investigate the cause of Arafat's death (rumor has it that OJ Simpson is going to be helping them to find the real killer), they came up with this little gem.

Israel Matzav: What America - and Israel - lost with the F-22

What America - and Israel - lost with the F-22

Two weeks ago, the Obama administration went out of its way to kill the F-22, a plane that was coveted by both Israel and Japan. In an evaluation of the Obama administration's defense budget cuts, Brig. Gen. Thomas C. Pinckney (Ret.), a fighter pilot for more than 30 years, explains what we all lost when the Obama administration cajoled Congress into canceling the F-22.

Israel Matzav: Pentagon preparing for war on North Korea and Iran?

Pentagon preparing for war on North Korea and Iran?

Reuters reports that the Pentagon is seeking to speed the deployment of the non-nuclear, 30,000 pound massive ordnance penetrator (MOP), an ultra-large bunker buster, which the Pentagon is seeking to deploy on B-2 bombers by July 2010. The MOP delivers ten times the explosive power of its predecessors, and could be used on Iranian and North Korean underground nuclear facilities.

"The Air Force and Department of Defense are looking at the possibility of accelerating the program," [an air force spokesman] said. "There have been discussions with the four congressional committees with oversight responsibilities. No final decision has been made."

...

Carrying more than 5,300 pounds of explosives. it would deliver more than 10 times the explosive power of its predecessor, the 2,000-pound BLU-109, according to the Pentagon's Defense Threat Reduction Agency, which has funded and managed the seed program.

Israel Matzav: The three-reichlet solution?

The three-reichlet solution?

In 2007 and 2008 I did three posts that considered the possibility that instead of there being a 'Palestinian' reichlet and the State of Israel, the powers that be would try to force two 'Palestinian' reichlets on us - Fatah in Judea and Samaria and Hamas in Gaza. With a Fatah party convention due to meet in Bethlehem on Tuesday for the first time in 20 years, the local leader of the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades warns that if the 'young' intifadeh leadership does not find its place among Fatah's leaders - something which to this point the older generation seems disinclined to allow - Fatah itself may split albeit not necessarily on neat geographical lines.

“There will be a clear split within Fatah,” Abdullah Abu Hadid, secretary of Fatah in Bethlehem and a leader of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, told The Media Line in an exclusive interview. “We have the leaders of the first and second intifadas and the real leaders of the Palestinian people, the leaders of the Palestinian street.”

Israel Matzav: The un-Bush

The un-Bush

Cousin Elliot has an article in Monday's Wall Street Journal in which he reviews the many similarities and the differences between the foreign policies of the Obama and Bush administrations. I thought he did an excellent job of summing up the differences.

Differences in the execution of policy, however, make all the difference. Take, for example, outreach to Iran.

Israel Matzav: Keeping refined oil products out of Iran would require patrolling off its coast

Keeping refined oil products out of Iran would require patrolling off its coast

In an New York Times article on potential sanctions to be imposed on Iran to prevent it from obtaining refined oil products, David Sanger outlines some of the enforcement difficulties.

The legislation would impose sanctions on any company that sold or delivered gasoline to Iran, cutting it off from selling to the United States government and seeking to freeze its financing or shipping insurance. But many experts fear that true enforcement would require patrols off the Iranian coast, and that could lead to confrontations with the Iranian Revolutionary Guards.

Given that North Korea has already openly tested nuclear weapons and the United Nations sanctions on it don't even allow other countries to board its ships and check for contraband, what do you think the odds are that Obama will get UN approval for patrols of the type described in the previous paragraph. Perhaps that's why the Israelis are impatient with Obama.
