More good stuff from the Islams — its hard for me to understand how any western woman could possibly support any Islamic state or group of any kind. Islam is just not compatible with our way of life they know that and that is why they want to destroy us.

Why Does Anyone Defend Hamas And The Palestinian Culture Of Death?
How anyone can support any of these Muslim groups is baffling especially since the Muslims claim to be a religion of peace. Maybe their definition of peace is different that ours; that might explain it! So if we apply occam’s razor to the quandary we can state that Islam is a religion of war

“Why in God’s name does anyone show sympathy, and support for a terrorist organization?” – Former Congressman Allen West
And that is the question that should be asked. It boggles the mind and offends the senses that there is EVEN ONE MEMBER OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION who is upset that Israel is pummeling the Palestinian wing of the Muslim Brotherhood. Under Ariel Sharon, Israel forcibly removed its citizens from Gaza and turned the land over to the Arabs. Israel has been rewarded for that gesture of conciliation with the abduction and killing of its citizens and the launching of hundreds of rockets into its territory.
Such provocations have finally goaded the state of Israel into launching a ground invasion of Gaza to take on the infamous Hamas, a terrorist group famous for hiding behind women and children even as they target the same. Death and destruction…

Israeli Chariot-4’s Windbreaker armor, defets Hamas rockets!
A “humanitarian” ceasefire would give Hamas time to find answers for Israeli Chariot-4’s Windbreaker armor which has rendered Hamas toothless!
Re-post from DEBKAfile Exclusive Analysis July 24, 2014, 1:16 PM (IDT)
The Armored Shield Protection-Active Trophy aka Windbreaker
Thursday, July 24, the 17th day of the IDF’s Gaza operation, Israeli ministers were discussing a possible “humanitarian ceasefire” in IDF-Hamas hostilities, which could last up to five days. According to debkafile‘s military sources, it is Hamas which, behind its tough stance, is keen on a pause – and not just out of sudden concern for Gaza’s civilians. Its tacticians are desperate to find a chink in the Chariot-4 tank’s Armored Shield Protection-Active Trophy missile defense system, known as the Windbreaker. The 401st armored brigade is the only IDF unit with this armor.
Hamas has tried to stop these tanks with two kinds of advanced guided anti-tank missiles, the Russian Kornet-E, and the Concord. But Windbreaker repels them and blows them all up.
Wednesday July 23 the IDF deliberately placed brigade commander Col. Sa’ar Tzur, one of the outstanding commanders in Operation Protective Edge, before TV cameras, while standing in front of a Chariot-4 tank.
He spoke at length about the brigade’s unstoppable performance under anti-tank missile fire. Those missiles are blown up without penetrating the tanks’ armor, he said, and are powerless to slow their advance.
Hamas has found no answer for the Active Trophy defense system, any more than it has for the Iron Dome anti-missile defense batteries, which keep Israeli civilian populations safe from its rockets. Both systems are home-made, developed by Rafael advanced armed systems industries.
Hamas is not giving up, which is why it is holding out against a long ceasefire, but aiming for just enough time to come up with new stratagems, debkafile‘s military sources say.
This was the message conveyed in the statement Hamas leader Khaled Meshal made Wednesday July 23 in Qatar: He rejected a long-term ceasefire, but left the door open for a “humanitarian” pause.
While its forces have taken serious punishment, most of Hamas’ underground command and military infrastructure is still far from knocked out. But if the Israeli military decides to go for a decisive coup against those core facilities – defined by the Israeli security cabinet’s euphemism of “expanding the operation” – Hamas chiefs expect it to be spearheaded by a fleet of Chariot-4 tanks hurtling towards them behind the protection of their impenetrable “Windbreakers.”
To maintain any kind of draw with the IDF, Hamas stands in urgent need of two resources: 1) Technology for neutralizing the Windbreaker; and 2) Missiles able to pierce it.
While Khaled Meshal haggles with ceasefire brokers in Qatar, his agents are known to have appealed urgently to Tehran to find the weapons they need and deliver them at top speed to the Gaza Strip – possibly from Libya by the Iranian-terrorists’ arms smuggling route through Egypt.
A reference to this appeal was made in a comment by a senior military intelligence official Wednesday, when he disclosed that Iran had promised to rebuild Hamas’ military machine, including its rocket production and launch systems. Hamas and Tehran also broached the problem of the Chariot-4 armor. Both fully understood that unless it can be solved, Hamas may have no way of defending its high command and arsenal in their elaborately furnished underground bunkers.
US Secretary of State John Kerry has all these facts to hand, fed by a steady stream of intelligence from US informants in and over the battlefield. His efforts for a ceasefire are based on his perception that Israel has so far not managed to inflict a clear defeat on Hamas and needs to expand its operation to tip the scales.
He calculates that if Israel launches its final thrust, which has not yet been approved, it will not accept a ceasefire before achieving its goal, and this may take at least a week to ten days.
But if Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon hold off on Israel’s decisive attack, then negotiations can start for a truce of some kind, while both sides size up their respective situations and decide whether or not it is to their advantage.
Lurch promises $47 million to Gaza, which means Hamas. Aiding and abetting the enemy of an ally may not be treasonous, but it is certainly immoral. John Kerry is no stranger to treason….
Lurch and Barry make a good comedy team and that is where they should have stayed, putting them in positions of power puts the entire world in jeopardy. Neither one of those two as a clue — we will never live this down.
Excerpted from redstate.com
Israel buried her war dead while continuing the grim task of destroying Hamas tunnel network. Meanwhile, the ever-flaccid John Kerry, after griping about Israel on a hot mic in a Fox News studio “We’ve got to get over there. I think we ought to go tonight,” announced $47 million in humanitarian aid for Gaza.
Kerry didn’t fly to Israel. You see, he wasn’t invited there. Instead, he flew to Cairo, to insert himself into ongoing ceasefire talks. So instead of “sitting around” in Washington with no role in the negotiations, he’s sitting around in Cairo, with no role in the negotiations.
Why on earth would anyone expect that this money would be spent differently by Hamas than every other grant, aid, or transfer to Hamas, ever? Instead of building homes, they build tunnels. Instead of building bomb shelters for people, they build rockets. Mr. Kerry…

IDF Commanders: Time for decisive war move after IDF victories in Shejaiya, E. Rafah and Khan Younes
Re-Post from DEBKAfile Exclusive Analysis July 23, 2014, 12:16 PM (IDT)
Israel tank wins a battle in Gaza
Senior IDF commanders said Wednesday July 23 that the time had come for a decisive war move. Breaking up the Hamas’ subterranean tunnels would take weeks, they said, but the critical encounter for completing their military mission and bringing the war to a close was still to be fought after three key IDF victories: The battle for Shejaiya grabbed the headlines, but the confrontations in eastern Rafah and eastern Khan Younes in the south were just as important.
The commanders are now urging a large-scale assault on the bunker complex housing Hamas’ top military command and infrastructure. They say it is up to national leaders, i.e., the security cabinet, to determine the military’s next move and the disposition of the forces present on the battlefields of the Gaza Strip.
The tank units could undertake the opening moves for the next, critical stage of the Israeli operation at no more than hours’ notice.
Political circles in Israel agree that after Hamas rejected all the ceasefire proposals floated, the next stage is the war’s expansion for its closing shots. There is no word yet on how they are to be conducted.
The Western diplomats and Palestinian Authority officials who met Hamas politburo chief Khaled Meshaal in Qatar Sunday were amazed to hear him assert that Hamas was winning the war against the IDF and confident of being able to keep going for a long time, debkafile‘s military and intelligence sources report.
On Monday, July 21, Meshaal told one Western official: “In Gaza we see that the IDF is slow and clumsy. Our forces are mobile and flexible, including our rockets which we can move quickly from one place to another.”
Asked about Hamas’ defeat in Shajaiya, where a Gaza City suburb, home to 100,000 Palestinians, was razed to the ground, he declined to comment.
After Israel learned of Meshaal’s comments, the IDF was instructed Monday night to demolish the empty home of Mohammed Deif, head of Hamas military wing. Israeli war planners believe Deif is the brain behind Hamas’ war, along with Izz-e- din al Qassam Brigades commander Marwan Issa.
While their forces were in retreat in the Gaza Strip, Hamas diplomacy won a strong point against Israel by a rocket that hit close enough to Ben-Gurion Airport to persuade US and certain European airlines to suspend their flights.
The rocket landed at Yehud, which is not far from the runways of Ben-Gurion airport and Airport City which houses a business and shopping center and Israel Aircraft Industries.
By Tuesday night, 85 international flights were cancelled by all American and a few European airlines. The Israeli El Al and Arkia moved fast to expand their service to and from Israel to fill the gap.
Early Wednesday morning, US Secretary of State John Kerry declined a request by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to intervene with the Federal Aviation Administration-FAA to rescind its ban on US carriers’ flights to Israel.
Kerry said he could not interfere in this and that anyway the FAA reviews its decisions every 24 hours. The European carriers are unlikely to resume their flights to Ben-Gurion so long as the Americans observe the ban.
debkafile‘s military sources note that Hamas’ success in disrupting civilian air traffic to and from Israel exposed a hidden side of its war on Israel. Most of the nearly 2,000 rockets fired over the last 16 days did not miss Israel’s urban centers by chance, although many were deflected by Iron Dome interceptors. Hamas was focusing on strategic targets, such Israeli Air Force bases and facilities in the south and center. When IDF communiqués report that rockets land in open areas, this does not necessarily rule out their explosion in or near military bases.
Does anyone except Iran support Hamas?
Friends of Hamas
Hamas has proved itself to be unusually isolated in its current war on Israel. The powers-that-be in Egypt, for example, have not lifted a finger to come to the assistance of Hamas. This all by itself proves the superiority of the Sissi regime to that of Morsi, but if one has a clue about the nature of the Muslim Brotherhood, from which both Morsi and Hamas emerged, this not exactly a shock. Yet Saudi Arabia has left Hamas to its own devices, as has the UAE. Stepping forward to lend a hand to Hamas are Qatar and Turkey.
The isolation of Hamas is a striking development, but most striking are the emergence of Hamas’s good friends: Barack Obama and John Kerry.
Going back to his Cairo speech in the early days of the Obama administration, Obama has stood out as an old fan of the Muslim Brotherhood. See here (Marc Ambinder), here (FOX News), and here (American Thinker).
The Muslim Brotherhood is of course a progenitor of Islamic radicalism (see, e.g., Lawrence Wright, The Looming Tower) Hamas is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood. In this sense (among others) it should come as no surprise that Obama is a sap for Hamas.
We have found Obama reliably to take the side of the enemies of the United States while stabbing our friends in the back. This is a phenomenon that took shape in the first days of the Obama administration.
Now Obama and Kerry are working to shut down Israel before its forces attain their goals in the current hostilities. Obama’s public consternation over civilian casualties is a pure reflection of Hamas tactics and propaganda. Putting to one side the difficulty of identifying true civilian casualties, Obama blames Israel for whatever civilian casualties result form Hamas’s placement of men, tunnels and materiel among civilians in homes, hospitals and mosques. Hamas also does its considerable best to keep the civilians in harm’s way.
Obama mentions none of this, and we now know (as a result of Kerry’s open mic incident on FOX News Sunday earlier this week) that John Kerry blames Israel for civilian deaths in Gaza as well. He attributes them to the Israelis’ lack of precision in their current operation.
The Israelis may get credit in heaven for their extraordinary efforts to avoid civilian casualties — the warning leaflets, the knocks on the roof, the cell phone calls and messages, and so one — but they get none from the Obama administration.
Kerry is now in the area seeking to engineer a ceasefire. His presence is obviously unwanted by Israel. On this point we can take the word of former Israel Ambassador to the United States Michael Oren. Kerry is undermining Israel and encouraging Hamas.
Yesterday the FAA prohibited commercial flights to Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport outside Tel Aviv, thus handing Hamas a great victory and upping the stakes for Israel. The AP notes, Kerry himself flew into Ben Gurion today after the FAA action. Some European airlines are following suit. El Al continues to fly into Ben Gurion. Last night, as Jeff Dunetz observes, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appealed to Kerry to rescind the ban.
Noah Pollak points to the peculiar timing of the FAA action:
Long-range rocket fire from Gaza has been dramatically curtailed in recent days by the IDF’s ground operation, and was heaviest at the beginning of the war – some two weeks ago. Despite Hamas and Islamic Jihad barrages of M75 and M302 rockets fired at Tel Aviv and Jerusalem on July 8th, 9th, and 10th, no travel warning was issued.
Jeff also notes that Michael Bloomberg is flying into Ben Gurion in a show of support for Israel. Bloomberg has posted this statement:
This evening I will be flying on El Al to Tel Aviv to show solidarity with the Israeli people and to demonstrate that it is safe to fly in and out of Israel. Ben Gurion is the best protected airport in the world and El Al flights have been regularly flying in and out of it safely. The flight restrictions are a mistake that hands Hamas an undeserved victory and should be lifted immediately. I strongly urge the FAA to reverse course and permit US airlines to fly to Israel.
Bloomberg understands that the United States has handed Hamas a great victory in the current war. The Daily Mail includes Bloomberg’s tweets to this effect in its story on developments yesterday.
John Podhoretz weighs the consequences of Hamas’s success in his New York Post column this morning. Observing the Obama administration’s efforts to engineer a ceasefire while Israel has yet to attain its objectives in the conflict, Caroline Glick notes with considerable understatement:
[T]he fact that the US has chosen at this juncture in the operation – with Israel enjoying unprecedented support from the most important Sunni states in the region – to side with Hamas and its state sponsors in their demand for an immediate cease-fire speaks volumes about the transformation of US foreign policy under Obama’s leadership.
The efforts of Obama and Kerry on behalf of Hamas — their efforts to stop Israel short of its goals in the current conflict — come as no surprise, but they shouldn’t pass without comment either.
The IDF and Hamas duke it out in Gasa! Obama supports Hamas but that might not mean anything!
Israeli forces are fighting hard to win their first battle against Hamas, a savage and tenacious enemy
Re-Post from DEBKAfile Exclusive Analysis July 22, 2014, 12:34 PM (IDT)
An Israeli tank driving forward in Gaza
The battle for Shejaiya, the Hamas stronghold on Gaza City’s outskirts, was still unresolved Tuesday, July 22, indicating that the Islamists were not giving up. Indeed, fresh Hamas reinforcements appeared to have taken up new positions in the battle zone during the night. They may have arrived through Hamas’ many-branched tunnel system.
Every few hours, the IDF spokesman releases two sets of figures: Israeli casualty statistics and the number of IDF strikes against Hamas. He has little to say about Israel’s military movements. Neither Israeli nor foreign correspondents have been permitted to accompany IDF troops fighting in the Gaza Strip – a policy the IDF has pursued since the second Lebanon war of 2006. Military leaders are therefore free to manage the data, human and electronic, coming out of the war, including images from the various fronts, without independent coverage. The public sees the same IDF surveillance footage day after day.
This policy reduces the hazards faced by Israeli forces and keeps their scale and identities secret from the enemy – and that is good for Israel’s war effort.
On the other hand, it creates a widening gap between the “official version” and the real state of affairs on the battlefield. Since most people have access to relatives on the front – not to mention prolific rumor mills powered by the social media – the credibility of national war leaders suffers.
Official communiqués are studded with impressive figures. Tuesday morning, the IDF was reported to have struck 3,200 Hamas targets since the start of the operation. In the last four days, the soldiers located 23 secret tunnels and 36 shafts leading into Hamas’ subterranean complex, and killed 186 Hamas operatives in combat. Israel lost 27 officers and men in the same period.
Those figures are telling in that they illustrate the hardships confronting the IDF from a ferocious enemy which refuses to crack under air or ground assault.
Because the Golani Brigades’ losses in Shejaiya were so heavy, IDF chiefs had no choice but to disclose information about the combatants on this front. But no one, aside from the combatants and their officers, knows what is going on in the other arenas to which the five special IDF task forces have been assigned. There is no news for instance from the southern sector of Rafah and Khan Younes. or the northern towns of Shati and Zeitun. No one knows how many Hamas tunnels are left to be destroyed – and where – before the IDF claims to have completed this critical part of its counter-terror mission
By any military standard, the IDF has the edge over Hamas. But the battle still needs to be won.
This situation has stiffened Hamas’ resistance to any of the ceasefire proposals taking shape in various parts of the region in the last couple of days. Its leaders feel strong enough to carry on fighting and holding out for better terms than those on offer at present.
Hostilities are therefore likely to drag out for an indeterminate period.
For Israel, the diplomatic clock is ticking too fast. As the warfare stretches out without a decisive battle on at least one Gaza front, the rising casualty toll threatens to undermine Israel’s ability to stand up to the pressures of international truce diplomacy.
Leaflets threaten violence against Chicago Jews over Israel’s actions in Gaza….
This is bad anywhere , but worse here as we were never like this before Obama!
On Monday, the Times of Israel reported that leaflets found on parked cars in a Chicago neighborhood threaten violence againstJews if Israel does not pull out of Gaza and cease its operations there.
According to the Times, leaflets were found on six cars in the Pulaski Park neighborhood, specifically in the 6300 block of North Monticello Avenue, Chicago Police Department News Affairs Officer Jose Estrada said. The leaflets, Estrada added, were found on the windshields of the cars.
NBC Chicago said the incident took place one day before hundreds staged a protest in front of the Tribune Tower, demanding an end to Israel’s actions in Gaza. After the “die-in,” protesters marched to the Israeli consulate.
“Almost 400 homes have been destroyed, thousands displaced,” said Hatem Abudayyeh of the U.S. Palestine Community Network. “This is not a war against Palestine, it is a war…
