The United Nations Human Rights Council(UNHRC) is preparing an investigation as to whether or not Israel has committed war crimes during the recent operation in Gaza, questioning whether or not enough has been done to protect civilians. Once again corruption stands in the way of what could otherwise be a righteous mission. They do not destroy their credibility by investigating Israel, they destroy it by only investigating Israel. By conveniently leaving Hamas out of the investigation, the UNHRC is transparent in its anti-Israel stance. An investigation that would be acceptable if it was in conjunction with an investigation of whether or not Hamas is doing enough to protect Israeli civilians, has now become another example of the UN’s hypocrisy. The inconsistency is so glaring it is bizarre that it is not ridiculed and attacked outside the Jewish world. Israel targets Hamas military locations, Hamas targets Israel’s population centers, yet only one side gets investigated. And it’s not the side you would expect if you would read the previous sentence without bias. The hypocrisy is glaring and disgusting.
Any human rights organization has the responsibility of being objective and thorough. If 2 acts of violence occur on a local level, the police are required, and justifiably so, to investigate both actions, even if one was clearly a crime and the other an act of self-defense. A conclusion must be drawn that if you have done the right thing, an investigation will identify that. If you were in the wrong, an investigation will show that as well.
In only investigating Israel the United Nations is once again showing why it is the most corrupt organization in world history. If the goal was for justice and world peace, they would search for the truth rather than for a way to justify their bias. It is not the first time Israel has been targeted by the UN and it most certainly won’t be the last. It is time that people woke up to the hypocrisy of an organization that is taking civilization down a tragic path. Unfortunately there is no sign that people will want to wake up to that reality that any time soon.

In light of the events of earlier today in which the FAA shut down flights from the United States to and from Israel, I ask the following question. If, God forbid, a plane travelling into Tel-Aviv were to be shot down, who would be held accountable for yet another unspeakable tragedy in the skies? Last week when Malaysian flight 17 was shot down killing all 298 passengers, Russian supported rebels were identified as responsible for firing the surface to air missile that brought down the plane. The world has understandably been in an uproar over this horrific act. Governments, including the United States government have been demanding action from Vladimir Putin, as the leader of Russia, the nation most people are blaming for this tragedy. So if such an awful event would take place near Tel-Aviv, naturally any logical thinking and fair-minded individual would blame Hamas who is firing the missiles, or even take it one step further, Iran, the nation that sponsors the terrorist organization ruling Gaza. Naturally, but unlikely.
As much as that should make sense to anyone reading this, we all know Israel would be blamed and pressured into stopping the operation whose sole purpose is to stop these attacks. There would be no headline reading, ‘Plane shot down by Iranian missile”. I pray to God this theory isn’t tested, but I know that any such test would prove my theory accurate. There is, more often than not an unfair standard when it comes to world opinion and the State of Israel. I am quite confident this would be no different.

After watching Mustafa Barghouti, General Secretary of the Palestinian Initiative being interviewed by Brett Baier of FOX News, I found myself somewhat sickened by the distortion of the facts by this man who calls himself a Palestinian activist. If this man is truly working for his people, how come he is so comfortable spewing out lies that drive his people to war. I believe the answer lies in his own personal ambition for fortune and power.
The cynical way he lied to the camera, speaking of Hamas as though they were a legitimate partner in peace indeed tells a more tragic story. Neither Hamas nor the Palestinian Authority are legitimate partners in peace. He looked straight at the camera, fully aware that Israel has done everything its power to minimize civilian casualties, and declared that Israel is targeting women and children. The hypocrisy of his preaching a non-violent resistance while lying so blatantly and supporting Hamas in Gaza should be obvious to most. There’s just one problem. There is a saying, “if he had brains he’d be dangerous.” What we see here is a man who has brains and is indeed very dangerous. As he looks into the camera and tells lies about Israel’s intentions and who is to blame for this conflict, he does so in a convincing and eloquent manner, allowing those who wish to believe the lies the opportunity they are looking for.
As we know, lies are being told about Israel every day while Hamas hides in schools and hospitals, but the problem becomes when someone like Barghouti tells these lies, and does so over and over, they become believable to far too many people. And that is one battle in the war we will have serious problems overcoming. Especially since it is one we will not fight the same way.

In comparison to previous crises involving Israel, the United Nations has behaved in a somewhat less one-sided way over the past few weeks. The same can be said for the American President Barack Obama. The support of the administration has been there as has the support of Congress and the American people. However, at the end of the day the government of the State of Israel is committed to a specific result. That result is the establishment of a peaceful life for all residents of Israel free of Hamas missiles and terror attacks. Heroic soldiers of the Israeli Defense Forces have made the ultimate sacrifice in the early stages of Operation Protective Edge and I am certain that the leaders of Israel’s government have no intention of allowing their lives to be lost for nothing. In making demands that the fighting stops, the United Nations and President Obama are making demands that have no substance. If we were to assume that the motivation was purely to put a stop to the deaths of innocent people, the demands contradict the motive. The only way innocent people in Gaza and Israel will live in peace is by destroying, or at the very least incapacitating Hamas.
Furthermore, by what authority does anyone makes demands from Israel when it comes to protecting their people? If your best friend demanded you not protect your family so as to not harm others, would you listen? No. You would protect your family. You would also realize that any true friend, or at least a friend with good judgment would never ask that of you in the first place. The reaction you must have in such an instance is a simple one. You continue to do what is best for your family.
This for all intents and purposes is what I suspect will be Israel’s response to what I see as nothing more than hollow demands.

One of the loudest ovations at the Pro-Israel rally in Times Square yesterday July 20, 2014, was for none other than a Palestinian man. When the man took the microphone and shouted the words, “I am a Palestinian. I love Israel and I hate Hamas”, the crowd erupted. To all those who call Israel an Apartheid state I present this challenge. Find me one none-white individual who ever said they love South Africa during the reign of Apartheid. And then find me an instance of a crowd gathering in support of South Africa’s government of that era that welcomed a person of color with love and support as this man was yesterday. You won’t find it. It’s very simple. Those who want to live in peace are welcome and will be treated like everyone else. Sure there are people in any group that have an indestructible hate in their heart, but as a general rule this is the morality we live by. A morality of which we can and should all be proud.

After the civil disturbances of last weekend, the French government banned all public forms of protest this weekend in support of the Palestinians in Gaza. The bans resulted in Muslim residents and politicians crying foul, claiming this was a smear on France’s Democracy and against everything the democratic process stands for. What is their demand? One riddled with irony. They claim to want the Palestinians in Gaza to live in peace and freedom under their current government. Just one problem they conveniently forget. Their government is run by Hamas, a terror organization that is anything but democratic.
The irony is glaring. In democracies all over the world protestors are shouting angrily against the “Zionist entity’s aggression” against the people of Gaza. An aggression that is a response to the constant barrage of missiles from Hamas. Missiles bought with the money donated to Gaza to help the people. Money donated to the most non-democratic tyrannical government one could find. A government that will hurt anyone that opposes them from within and that does not allow any other party to rise within its territory. THIS is the government that protestors are using the luxuries of democracies platforms all over the world from which to shout “Free Palestine”. They just have no clue what exactly they are freeing them from and more importantly, what they are freeing them to. There is only one democracy in the entire Arab world, and that country considered the Arab world’s one democracy is Turkey. A democracy with a government doing everything possible to put a stranglehold on the system to eliminate any other party. The only real democracy in the entire region is the so-called oppressor, Israel.
So next time you hear a Palestinian supporter shout “Free Palestine” ask them the following question. Free them to do what? To be ruled by terrorist and tyrants? Most if not all will have no other answer other than, “free them from the Zionist pigs”. They have clarity when it comes to their hate, but little sense as to how to truly better the lives of the people they claim to care about, while using the comfort of democracy to shout merely for the sake of shouting. The most ironic part of this whole thing is that at least for now the people they are hurting the most are the people they claim to want to help.

Yes, I am referring to the Iron Dome. Or am I? Those of us who believe in God would argue that there has been an invisible shield over the Jewish State since its creation. Only now it is in a more visible physical form.
I was pleased when earlier today a major news channel assessed the situation in a more honest and accurate manner. FOX News, in a report about the Iron Dome, said the following. I paraphrase:
‘When 4 Palestinian children were killed in Israeli attacks it captured world attention, however when one looks at the map of where Hamas is firing it shows that a large percentage are aimed towards highly populated civilian areas.’
The importance of this statement, one I discussed in a previous piece about what many in the world call a “disproportionate response”, (CLICK TO READ), is that it reveals how Hamas is not attempting to miss Jewish civilians, they are indeed targeting them. Were it not for the amazing technology, invented by Israel and funded by the United States, these missiles would have caused serious damage and even worse, a large loss of life. The science of the Iron Dome technology can certainly be used to argue against Divine intervention, but those such as myself who do believe in God will maintain that it is not only another example of God’s hand but one made more visible to people at a time when faith is more critical than ever.
Either way, thank God it works.

Let’s be honest. World War III is already under way. Since we are in the beginning stages there is no comparison as of yet to the first 2 wars that took millions of lives, but inasmuch as it is spreading and infecting the entire planet, this is a battle of global magnitude.
Everyone who knows me even somewhat knows that I am not a racist or bigot. It goes against everything I believe in to target one group of people. As the son of Holocaust survivors I find the persecution or targeting of any group to be as abhorrent as any other crime. I get no pleasure in the suffering of innocent people even if they are part of a society committing acts of evil. Indiscriminate murders, acts of terror and the killing of innocents is the behavior of all types of people from all societies and from various walks of life. Nevertheless, whether they want to admit it or not and despite their efforts to justify it, the Muslim world can not deny that the source of most civil unrest, acts of aggression, and terrorist activity are from within Muslim societies and nations. Let me repeat my personal sentiment. Attacking one group of people is contrary to my basic belief system. With that said, I believe the masses within these societies are victims as well. They are pawns and weapons in the war against civilization. An uprising within their midst may be the only thing that ultimately stands in the way of the death of millions, of which they will be included.
I don’t truly believe Islam is to blame. When you see Hamas leadership laughing it up on a private jet while Gaza gets bombed you realize that these leaders are no different from any other self-serving tyrants and murderers throughout the ages. They are in it for power and fortune and use their religion as a sickening way to rally the masses towards their way of thinking. The evil they commit against their own people is almost, if not as bad as the evil they commit against their so-called enemies.
If we don’t call it what it is, it will never get better. As difficult as that is, I truly believe we have no other choice.

I have not been one to complain about CNN over the years, but to make a headline, “Cease-fire effort collapses as rockets, airstrikes continue”, is a transparent attempt at avoiding the truth. Hamas did not accept the cease-fire, Israel did.
http://www.cnn.com/2014/07/15/world/meast/mideast-crisis/index.html?hpt=hp_inthenews
To keep this critical fact out of its headline and only dance around what is the most important news surrounding the cease-fire effort indicates that in reporting today’s events, CNN put a distorted concept of objectivity ahead of credibility. To report that one party wants the violence more than the other is not biased journalism if it is based on actual statements by both parties. CNN executives know this and should demand that their reports have a journalistic integrity that is clearly lacking here.
