Operation Limp Wrist
1. Yosef Avrahami was a 38 year old father of three, two twin boys aged 5
and a girl aged. He lived in Petah Tikva outside Tel Aviv. He worked in a
toy store. When he and the other reservists in the car he was riding in
made a wrong turn into Ramallah, he was brutally murdered and his body
mutilated yesterday by the PLO Gestapo. The nazi who murdered him then
took
his cellular phone from the car and called Avrahami's wife to brag to her
in
laughter that he had just murdered her husband.
2. Maariv reports that before launching Operation Limp Wrist last night,
where Israel shot a few pathetic missiles at empty buildings, the Israeli
government of Ehud Barak called Arafat's offices and informed them of the
planned raids so that the PLO could get all the PLO officials and other
nazis out of the buildings.
3. Among the things that were NOT targeted by Operation Limp Wrist last
night was the Jericho Casino, the cash cow for the PLO. Wonder why it was
not hit? Think it could have something to do with the fact that Barak's
advisor Yossi Ginossar has a financial interest in the place?
And do you think it was a mere oversight that in all of this, Israel
has not made the smallest move against Orient House, the PLO's illegal
fortress in the heart of Jerusalem? Would it not now be the perfect time
to bulldoze it? To show that Arafat will NEVER get anything at all in
Jerusalem?
But no. It is still standing there. Meaning Barak still would like to
grant the PLO control over half of Jerusalem, even in the midst of this
war.
4. Haaretz reports that the PLO prevented firemen from putting out the
fire
that was set in the Jericho synagogue last night. Haaretz also reports
that
the "Second Engineer" of the Hamas, Muhammed Dief, has been set free by
Arafat.
And if these released Hamas bombers set off a bomb in coming days, will
Barak whine about the radical enemies of the peace process or will he level
Ramallah with Arafat inside?
5. Barak's boys are meowing about how those who personally murdered the
three reservists will be personally punished. The fact that Barak's boys
are not serious is proved by the fact that the person most personally
responsible for the murders is Yassir Arafat, with whom they still want to
"negotiate".
6. Uri Avneri, head of the Gush Shalom group of Lobotomized leftists and
father of Israeli anti-Zionism, has an ad in the papers today entitled
There
is No Peace Partner". Then the small print says, "Barak at Camp David
offered the Palestinian people a peace based on their surrender. There is
no partner for such a peace."
7. One interesting twist to things. The events of past two week PROVE how
wise and valuable was the decision to build Jewish settlements in the West
Bank and Gaza. Had it not been for these settlements this week, the shots
being fired into them would have been fired into the heart of Jerusalem.
The settlements de facto restricted the area that the Israeli lemmings were
able to turn over to Arafat's Reichlet. The only error in retrospect was
that Israel did not build far MORE settlements.
8. Haaretz' newly awake columnist Yoel Marcus described Barak today as
a
"small disappointing leader". Ron Miberg, one of the shallower leftists at
Maariv, goes beyond most of the newly sane journalists. He takes the
slogan
of Labor Party Mccarthyism, "We shall not forget, we shall not fogive",
long
used to berate the anti-Oslo dissidents blamed by the Leftist McCarthyists
for being the cause of the Rabin murder, and he turns it around to apply to
the PLO. I find this the most radical of the rebirths of the Leftists yet
to be seen in Israel.
There was a time when Zeev Shiff of Haaretz was a respected military
commentator. Until the 1990s he was THE voice of authority on military
matters in the press. Highly respected. Then in the 1990s he sold his
soul
to the Oslo Left and the Radical anti-Zionists running Haaretz. Since 1992
he has been an apologist for the Oslo dream. Granting the Osloids
legitimacy. And today he is suddenly having second thoughts. He writes
that everyone should listen to what the PLO leaders are this week saying to
THEIR people in Arabic, not what they are saying on CNN.
Good morning Zeev Shiff. Have a nice sleep?
9. Saddam Hussein wants to send what is left of his rusty army to help the
PLO Reichlet. I presume Jordan will not let them through. But on the off
chance that Jordan does let them through, this might be a good opportunity
to liberate some of those Israeli unoccupied territories to the east of the
Jordan River.
