Tensions Escalate Along Israeli-Syrian Border

(Wall Street Journal) TEL AVIV—Tensions escalated along Israel’s northern border Tuesday after two rockets fired from Syria hit the Israeli-controlled section of the Golan Heights and the military launched a retaliatory strike.

The Israeli army spokesman’s office said no was one injured by the rocket attack from Syria. But an Israeli ski area at Mount Hermon was evacuated and residents in nearby villages were warned to remain near shelters for several hours after explosions were heard.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack. The Israeli military blamed it on the Lebanese Shiite military and political group Hezbollah and the source of the fire came from Syrian army positions, a military official said. The Israeli military retaliated with 20 artillery shells, and identified hits.

The exchange of fire came a little more than a week after a suspected Israeli airstrike near Quneitra in the Syrian Golan Heights killed an Iranian general. Hezbollah said the attack also killed six of its fighters. Israel neither confirmed nor denied the military strike.

In the aftermath of the Jan. 18 attack, Iran threatened Israel with a harsh response but so far, there has been none. Hassan Nasrallah, the Hezbollah leader, said he would discuss the attack in a speech Friday.

The recent violence has led to a heightened state of alert on Israel’s borders with both Lebanon and Syria. Israel has sent reinforcements to the area, and Israeli media reported that residents along the Lebanese border were twice put on alert. In the wake of the Jan. 18 attack near Quneitra, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Iran of preparing an “active front” against Israel in the Golan, and Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon said Hezbollah was establishing a presence there.

Despite the border tensions, the prevailing assessment among Israeli experts is that neither Hezbollah nor Iran seeks an all-out war with Israel. At the moment, they say, Hezbollah is preoccupied with bolstering the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

Until an uprising erupted against the Syrian government in March 2011, the Golan Heights had encompassed one of Israel’s most stable borders. But fighting in the region has created a power vacuum and allowed the al Qaeda-linked rebel group Nusra Front and Hezbollah to gain a toehold in the area.

In past years, Israeli areas of the Golan have been hit as a result of the fighting in Syria, which Israel has blamed on errant fire, and has responde din very limited fashion.

Insurgents also took hostage a group of U.N. peacekeepers in late August in that area, releasing them two weeks later.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: when the rest of the Arab world decides to recognize Israel's right-to-exist and leave 'em alone, I'll start listening to opposing arguments...until then, Israel's critics can all go pound copious amounts of sand.

Fox News: Neil Cavuto Interview Rabbi Weiss on "THE MOST IMPORTANT INTERVIEW ON EARTH"

Yisroel Dovid Weiss (born 1956), a United States Haredi Rabbi, is an activist and the spokesman for Neturei Karta International, an anti-Zionist grouping of Haredi Jews. Based in Monsey, New York, he believes that observant Jews should peacefully oppose the existence of the Israeli state: "It would be forbidden for us to have a State, even if it would be in a land that is desolate and uninhabited." In late 2006 Weiss was condemned by other anti-Zionists, such the Edah HaChareidis and Satmar, for attending a Holocaust conference in Tehran.

Weiss often speaks at rallies and conferences in the United States and internationally, criticising Israel and Zionism. In 2001 he attended the UN-organized World Conference against Racism in Durban, South Africa as part of the Islamic Human Rights Commission delegation.[9] During the conference, US and Israeli delegates walked out over an unsuccessful attempt to condemn Israel for racism.

In December 2006 Weiss spoke at the International Conference to Review the Global Vision of the Holocaust, held by the Iranian government in Tehran which was described by media sources such as NPR as a gathering of Holocaust deniers. In his five minute speech, Rabbi Weiss addressed the issue of holocaust denial as well:

Now maybe I can say that at the discussion of the holocaust, I may be the representative, the voice of the people who died in the holocaust because my grandparents died there. They were killed in Auschwitz. My parents were from Hungary. My father escaped and his parents remained. He wasn't able to get them out of Hungary and they died in Auschwitz as were other relatives and all the communities that they knew. So to say that they didn't die, to me you can not say that. I am the living remnant of the people who died in the holocaust and I am here, I believe sent by God, to humbly say, simply to speak to the people here and say, 'You should know that the Jewish people died, and do not try to say that it did not happen. They did die!' There are people throughout the Jewish communities, still alive in their seventies and eighties and every one of them will tell you their stories. It is something which you can not refute, but that being said, it doesn't mean that the holocaust is a tool to use to oppress other people.[2]

Weiss states that though Israelis have used the Holocaust to gain sympathy and advantage, he does not believe the Holocaust toll is exaggerated. Weiss said that "The Zionists use the Holocaust issue to their benefit. We, Jews who perished in the Holocaust, do not use it to advance our interests. We stress that there are hundreds of thousands Jews around the world who identify with our opposition to the Zionist ideology and who feel that Zionism is not Jewish, but a political agenda...What we want is not a withdrawal to the '67 borders, but to everything included in it, so the country can go back to the Palestinians and we could live with them..."



American Jewish organisations including Agudath Israel of America and the Orthodox Union, have also issued statements distancing themselves from Weiss. The executive vice president of the Orthodox Union, Rabbi Tzvi Hersh Weinreb, has called the group 'embarrassing', and Rabbi Avi Shafran, spokesman for Agudath Israel of America, called Neturei Karta's public display of affection for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad 'graphic and disgusting.'

Since returning to the U.S. from the conference, Weiss and other individuals who attended have been ostracized by synagogues, denied service at kosher stores, and have been the subject disparagement in some communities with strong Orthodox Jewish populations such as Brooklyn and Monsey. A demonstration outside a Neturei Karta synagogue on the 7th of January was met by a counter demonstration attended by "a much smaller contingent" of supporters of Rabbi Weiss.

ISRAEL'S LEGITIMACY? IT DOESN'T EXIST...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZK-Ly3VVBcE

Israel's Legitimacy? It Doesn't Exist...

The establishment of Israel, was as wrong as slavery, as wrong as the colonists war against Native Americans, or the Nazi's holocaust against the Jews.

Israel's so called war of independence was no different then the above, it was a war of aggression an inhumane act, an atrocity. The reason Israel has National Security concerns is because of the illegitimate and violent way in which it was created.

An honest Israeli Jew tells the Real Truth about Israel
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etXAm-OylQQ
Miko Peled was born in Jersusalem into a famous and influential Israeli Zionist family. His father was a famous General in the Israeli Army, of which Miko also served his time. When Miko's niece was killed by Palestinian suicide bombers, you may have expected the family to put Palestinians at fault, but surprisingly they blamed the state of Israel, and their violent torturing and persecution for driving people to such sadness that they would take their own lives.

Through his father's deep knowledge of the Israeli war of terror, together with his own research, Miko Peled ruins the myths surrounding the Israel and Palestine situation, and delivers a truth so damning that many Jews and Israel supporters will not be able to bear it. He reveals facts such as the original expelled Jews are not the ones returning, and they are not their descendants either, covers the double standards regarding the right of return, which doesn't apply to Palestinians, and dispels the myth that there has been a conflict for ages by producing proof that it was peaceful up until 1947 when Israel launched their illegal attacks.

Miko is just one of the many modern day Jews against Zionism and the state of Israel, and with the information he delivers in this astounding talk, it is not difficult to see why more and more Jews are rejecting Zionism and calling for the dismantling of Israel. It is a true eye-opener for anyone who has for too long been blinded by the fake misinformation given by the mainstream media, and the truths come straight from the heartland where he has spent many years documenting the real story.



Palestine was never a land without a people, for a people without a land, this notion is a myth. Just as the notion that Native Americans were savages, or the myth that blacks are inferior to whites.




Or that the Jewish people are evil, and can not be trusted, or that all Muslims are terrorists. No these non-truths grow out of greed, ignorance, and tribalism, out of trying to justify inhumane acts and human cruelty.

Like the rapist who claims, he was forced to rape, because the woman was dressed provocatively. On some level we are all guilty, we are all complicit, and therefore share in the burden of trying to make things right, both in society and within ourselves.

What was done in the past cannot be made to disappear, but reparations could be made. What is presently happening to the Palestinian people, and the continual usurpation of their homeland could be stopped now.

The international community must acknowledge that Israel has no legitimacy, and therefore must be treated as the apartheid state that it is, one built upon the wrongheaded notions of Zionism.




The distinction must be made between Judaism and Zionism, just as one must be made between Christianity and Manifest Destiny. Beliefs in a God does not give one the right to make war or claim land.

There is a small percentage of very powerful and wealthy people that seek to control the world. They seek to keep you in the dark, firstly about themselves and secondly anyone shedding the light upon their exploits.

Keep this in mind as you watch the news, or read the papers, they control what you see and what you hear, in essence they frame your perceptions of reality. It is called perception management, and it is epitomized in the way in which Israel's attack on Gaza is presented.

For example the notion that the Israelis are forced to kill Palestinian children to save Israeli children. This is the same as telling you that black is white or that up is down.

The same as telling you that Israel has the right to exist, and that it is a viable democracy and a legitimate state. When in realty it is Israel's legitimacy that doesn't exist...
 
Yes Jews do not support Israel so much and thats why Europe's Jews are packing there bags by the tens of thousands every year to live there. And since Jew hatred is on the rise like it was 1938 millions more are considering it.

If America cut all aid to every country on this planet no one would have the money for any real warfare in that region. And it would make Israel much more desperate to keep it's people safe so the middle east better pray that does not happen. Because people backed in a corner do dangerous things when they have nukes.

Yes you bet it is favoritism towards a country that has a entire region that wants every last Jew on the planet dead and forgotten for all time.

They had a strong determined military before we were sending them money to create one.

because the jews stole their land and attacked them in multiple countries, unprovoked...

i'd be pissed too, just like how the nazi's were pissed at the jews when the jews betrayed and back-stabbed the germans... just like how the jews betrayed and back-stabbed the russians, and how the jews are betraying and backstabbing america...

you're forgetting history there @liberty... the palestinians gave the jews a safe haven in palestine, and they betrayed and back-stabbed them when they made a deal with the british and the u.n./u.s.!

if the chinese did that to florida, would you just be all happy about it or be pissed and fight back at the land sealers?

But they did no such thing.

But they did no such thing to the Germans or Russians. And they certainly are doing no such thing to us Americans.

No I am not forgetting history I am just portraying it accurately.

If they did that Florida at least it might be true then.
 
there's credible evidence and people's testimony and proof that all of that happened...

there's no proof or evidence that it didn't happen...
