Palestinian stonethrowers wound Jewish baby

Palestinian Arab stone throwers attacked a Jewish vehicle south of the Judean town of Hebron on Tuesday, wounding an infant passenger.
Israeli army medics treated the baby at the scene, but decided the child needed to be evacuated to a Jerusalem hospital for further treatment.
While such an attack by Jews on an Arab family likely would have made headlines around the world, Tuesday’s attacks by Arabs on a Jewish family was all but ignored. <– Det är där Kimman kommer in i bilden.

Ni kan sluta gapa nu – det libanesiska dramat är över

Eftersom de svenska tidningarna inte lär uppmärksamma att israelerna inte gjorde något fel i det för ett tag sedan så uppmärksammade libanesiska dramat så gör jag det.

UN INVESTIGATION FINDS LEBANESE ARMY ATTACK ON IDF UNPROVOKED
An investigation carried out by representatives of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) has confirmed that IDF troops did not cross the Blue Line border separating Lebanon from Israel during the recent border incident in which an IDF officer, two Lebanese soldiers and a Lebanese journalist were killed.
The incident was the most serious to take place on the Israeli-Lebanese border since the Second Lebanon War in 2006. A senior Israeli officer was killed by an LAF sniper, several hundred meters from the border. Ascertaining the truth or falsehood of the LAF claim that Israeli forces began the incident by crossing the Blue Line border was thus vital to gaining an accurate picture of the incident. The UNIFIL investigation also supported the IDF contention that Israel had informed UNIFIL in advance of the work it intended to carry out on the fence on the Israeli side of the international border. The investigation raises as yet unanswered questions regarding the reasons for the decision by LAF personnel on the border to provoke the incident.

Morgonläsning

Mycket läsvärd artikel i Washington Post (tipstack till Ingrid). Ett par utdrag:

In the intifada that began in 2000, Palestinian terrorism killed more than 1,000 Israelis. (…) During the onslaught, which began 10 Septembers ago, Israeli parents sending two children to a school would put them on separate buses to decrease the chance that neither would return for dinner. Surely most Americans can imagine, even if their tone-deaf leaders cannot, how grating it is when those leaders lecture Israel on the need to take ”risks for peace.”
The creation of Israel did not involve the destruction of a Palestinian state, there having been no such state since the Romans arrived. And if the Jewish percentage of the world’s population were today what it was when the Romans ruled Palestine, there would be 200 million Jews. After a uniquely hazardous passage through two millennia without a homeland, there are 13 million Jews.

Dagens smörja

2008 avbröts de senaste direkta men sömniga förhandlingarna av Israels anfall mot Gaza.

Vilken smörja. Så det är fredligt att år ut och år in avfyra raketer med, som vanligt, avsikt att ha ihjäl så många judiska barn, kvinnor och män som möjligt?
