Israel: Jahapp, vissa platser ska vara judefria

Som alltid när TT rapporterar så lyckas de på något vis vända nyheten till att israelen är ond och palestiniern god. [SvD] [DN] [Syd]
Tack och lov har vi internet och kan ta del av israeliska nyheter.
Intressant:
One Israeli worshiper was killed and four were wounded in Nablus early Sunday morning after their vehicle was shot at by a Palestinian Authority policeman as the group was exiting the city from prayer services held at Joseph’s Tomb. [jPost]
Och:
Generally, the coordination between Israeli and Palestinian security forces in the area is effective. A full investigation into the incident has been launched. The GOC Central Command said that in many cases Palestinian security forces work to extract Israelis who enter Palestinian cities safely, and the IDF sector commanders are in daily contact with their Palestinian counterparts.
”This was an abnormal event which does not characterize the nature of the relationship,” a military source said. ”It is possible that the group’s failure to coordinate the visit caused a misunderstanding. The matter is under investigation.” [Ynet]
Och:
The IDF and mainstream media reported the shooting spree as an ”incident” and not an attack although the worshippers were known to the PA as frequent visitors to the holy site. The government has not officially commented, but many coalition Knesset Members are up in arms over the PA police attack. [Arutz Sheva]
Och:
Several hours after the incident, dozens of Palestinians rioted near Joseph’s Tomb and set tires on fire, Israel Radio reported. Settlers claimed that Palestinians vandalized the holy site in the wake of the attack. [Ynet]
Och:
The tomb, which some believe to be the final resting place of the Biblical patriarch Joseph, is located in an area of the West Bank under full Palestinian control.
It was attacked and ransacked by Palestinians at the start of the Palestinian uprising in 2000, and one of the Israeli policemen stationed there was killed.
After 2003, Jews were allowed intermittent access, which was expanded in 2009 to one coordinated monthly midnight visit. [Ha’aretz]

Israel: Framtidslandet

En efter en vaknar medborgarna upp, gnuggar sig i ögonen och ser på framtidslandet Israel med nyvakna, friska ögon.

Men trots att Israel alltid kommer att dra till sig djupt troende kristna, judar och muslimer har det blivit ett land där homosexuella par håller handen på gatan och hämtar på dagis som alla andra. Det säger något om kraften i landets liberala rörelse.

Israel: Hamas jublar

Jo, jag tänkte att ni kanske kunde vara intresserade av Hamas reaktion på att den 16-årige judiske gossen dog? Aha, vilken gosse, undrar ni så klart då de svenska tidningarna ignorerar det hela. Han som åkte med bussen som blev beskjuten med en laserstyrd antitank-missil! (Läs här och här.) Hamas jublar. Så klart. De har ju på agendan att utplåna både staten Israel och världens alla judar. Ändå skickar Svenne ”fredliga” PR-konvojer till gullungarna. Skandal.

Finland: I Israelisk press

Oj oj, som vanligt måste man läsa israeliska nättidningar för att få en ny och mer nyanserad bild av vad som sker i världen – i detta fall i Finland.

”The Finns have a long history of financial sobriety. Of all the European countries who took loans from the United States in the First World War, only Finland paid back in full, something that endeared Finland to the Americans. This may have deterred Stalin from swallowing up Finland along the lines of Eastern Europe following the Second World War. Following a major recession from 1991-1994, the Finns overcame it on their own. They now expect others to do the same.”

Eftersom detta är en så kallad pro-israelisk blogg så kan jag inte låta dessa rader, som kommer från fulfejset Timo Soini, bara passera:

“I don’t want to take Finland to war anywhere. This is an extremely grave reminder of the development that’s happened in different Arab countries, but when Mubarak left there wasn’t a democracy that materialized, there is a 75 year old general currently in power, that’s what has happened.
Where the Middle East is concerned, I am a friend of Israel I dare to say, which is surrounded by hostile Arab states. It has (Israel) the right to live and to exist.
