Israel and US to hold joint missile drill | Aerospace & Defence News

aerospace.firetrench.com1/9/12

Israel and the United States are to hold a joint missile defence exercise, the Israeli military said late on Thursday. ASDNews … Last week it test-fired three missiles during war games east of the strait at the entrance to the Gulf. …

An upcoming American-Israeli missile defense exercise is receiving special media attention because it comes on the heels of a ten-day Iranian naval exercise, plus Iranian threats of closing the Strait of Hormuz.

Israeli Defense Forces played down the timing of the announcement, calling such periodic exercises “routine:”

“These exercises, which are part of a long-standing strategic partnership, are planned in advance and part of a routine training cycle designed to improve the interoperability of our defense systems. Like other bi-lateral exercises, Austere Challenge 12 represents another milestone in the strategic relationship between the US and Israel, as well as a step forward in promoting regional stability".

“The exercise scenario involves notional, simulated events as well as some field training, and is not in response to any real-world event".

“The exercise has been planned for at least two years and therefore has no relevance to any world events".

The AP quoted a senior military official who said on condition of anonymity:

"Thousands of American and Israeli soldiers from different units will take part, and the drill will test multiple Israeli and U.S. air defense systems against incoming missiles and rockets".

In a speech last month, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta previewed the exercise, citing it as an example of what he called,

"The administration’s unprecedented levels of defense cooperation with Israel to back up our unshakable commitment to Israel’s security".

And on Sunday’s Face the Nation, Panetta stated two red lines for the U.S.:

"Our red line to Iran is do not develop a nuclear weapon. That’s a red line for us. I think they need to know that, that if they take that step, that they’re going to get stopped. We made very clear that the United States will not tolerate the blocking of the Straits of Hormuz. That’s another red line for us and that we will respond to them.".

And Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey on the same show said he believes,

" Iran has the capability, for a period of time to block the Strait of Hormuz, but we would take action and reopen the Straits".

Efraim Inbar, who is director of the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies at Bar Ilan University, says that even if it’s not intended as a response to Iranian moves:

“Any military exercise has political implications. The military organ is always connected to political even if that’s not the intention on the part of the Americans or Israelis. It’s a clear political signal to the bad guys. After we saw the military exercise by the Iranians last week, everybody with political sensitivity tends to believe this is a counter-flexing of muscle".

Inbar also addressed expressions of isolationism in the U.S., something which has been gaining more media attention due to the presidential campaign of GOP candidate Ron Paul:

“This type of exercise expresses the importance of Israel to the U.S. particularly when the U.S. is seen as being weak in the region. It is leaving Iraq, it is on its way out of Afghanistan. Israel is probably the only place a U.S. military airplane will eventually be able to land in the Middle East".

“U.S.-Israel strategic cooperation is beneficial to both sides. The U.S. is a super power and we are a small state but in our area contrary to what isolationists say in the U.S., we all still need allies, or what used to be called ‘calling stations’. Israeli ports are open to the U.S. In fact, the only port where the U.S. can probably bring ships safely in the Eastern Mediterranean is to Israel. Looking at the other countries: Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Libya, the Mediterranean is becoming an Islamist lake".

And an Israeli Air Force officer emphasized that not only Israel gains from the relationship:

“The Americans are eager to conduct this exercise, we are their laboratory in the field of missile defense. A laboratory because Israel has extensive firsthand experience of absorbing incoming rockets and missiles from Hamas and Hezbollah and regularly activates its Iron Dome system to combat the threat".

The Telegraph reported from London that the UK will deploy its largest warship, the HMS Daring, to the Persian Gulf to,

“send a significant message to the Iranians”.

The UK destroyer is due to arrive in late January.

And Oil Supplies?

Western powers have agreed a contingency plan to tap a record volume from emergency stockpiles which could replace nearly all the Gulf oil that would be lost if Iran blocks the Strait of Hormuz.

When a student asked Santorum asked about health care, the student cited a 2009 Harvard study and noted that he did not “think God appreciates the fact that we have 50 to 100000 uninsured Americans dying due to a lack of healthcare every year.” He should know better to cite an academic study to Santorum ….

American Power: Santorum Sharpens Aim at Romney

americanpowerblog.blogspot.com1/6/12

"A lot of blue collar workers have been left behind in America," Mr. Santorum said Thursday in Manchester. Later, at a campaign event in Tilton, he said his family and his friends' families had worked in factories. To a man who …

What disturbs me most about this video is that the students from New England College are unable to follow the simple logic behind Santorum’s questions.

Santorum knows that his anti-g**-marriage stance will cost him votes, but he was at least patient and trying to make our next generation think a little.

But sadly, they were unable to.

Why Is That Important?

Because if our students aren’t either encouraged, or convinced to give up on their simplistic thinking, then America will soon lag behind a great many countries.

Consider perhaps the attitude that most US students have toward Israel.

They believe that Israel is the villain and that Palestinian land has been appropriated when in fact a Palestinian people never existed

People were displaced, both Jews and Arabs, but Israel absorbed the displaced Jews whereas Arab countries never absorbed displaced Arabs.

Both displaced peoples were around the same size; about a million people.

Why do they have that attitude?

Because they were seduced by simplistic propaganda when they could have checked out the facts easily and quickly, but they didn’t and don’t.

Why?

Because their professors are rabid left-wingers, and the students are lazy and want to be spoon-fed!

Every year, campus hate groups such as the Muslim Students Association and Students for Justice in Palestine join a festival of lies called the “Israel Apartheid Week” whose theme is that Israel is an apartheid state, in spite of the fact that Israel has Arab members of the Knesset; that Arab Israelis can and do vote without any restrictions; that Arabs use the same toilets, buses and restaurants etc. as Jewish Israelis.

Happily, and alternative is now being presented and it’s an honest one and not simply a propaganda one.

centurean2.wordpress.com12/28/11

Preparing to Attack Iran with Nuclear Weapons: “No Option can be taken off the Table.” by Michel Chossudovsky. Global Research, December 26, 2011. “When a US sponsored nuclear war becomes an “instrument of peace”, …

Seems like Obama understands that Panetta is an anti-Semite!

According to a just released report, the "Israelis went ballistic", after US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said earlier this month that,

"An attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities could consume the Middle East in a confrontation and a conflict that we would regret".

Israeli Ambassador to Washington Michael Oren lodged a formal diplomatic protest, which prompted the White House to reassure Jerusalem that the administration had its own "red lines" that would trigger a strike on Iran and that there would be no need for Israel to operate unilaterally.

And a short time later Panetta told CBS’s ’60 Minutes’ that,

"Should Iran proceed with developing a nuclear weapon then we will take whatever steps necessary to stop it".

Will Israel Attack First?

Three senior US military officials have confirmed that analysts in the Pentagon were trying to predict which developments in Iran could lead to a preemptive Israeli strike on the Islamic Republic’s nuclear facilities.

The report said that despite repeated requests going back to 2009, Netanyahu’s government has not agreed to ask the US for permission or give significant advanced warning of any pending strike.

What Are The Red Lines?

Matthew Kroenig, who served as special adviser on Iran to the Office of the Secretary of Defense between July 2010 and July 2011, offered some of the possible, "red lines" for a military strike on Iran.

"If Iran expels international nuclear weapons inspectors, begins enriching its stockpiles of uranium to weapons-grade levels of 90%, or installs advanced centrifuges at its main uranium-enrichment facility in Qom".

Kroenig also mentioned that the Islamic Republic announced in 2009 that it was set to construct ten new uranium enrichment sites.

"I doubt they are building 10 new sites, but I would be surprised if Iran was not racing to build some secret enrichment facilities".

"Progress on new facilities would be a major factor in our assessment of Iran’s nuclear program and shape all aspects of our policy towards this including the decision to use force".

And in a recent Foreign Affairs article he argued that the US should strike Iran’s facilities!

America: Strengthened by Its Support of Israel

www.raptureforums.com11/1/11

America: Strengthened by Its Support of Israel By David Meir-Levi In the first in the series of articles analyzing US foreign aid to Israel, the present writer posed five questions: 1.) Why is there an Israel-USA "special relationship," an alliance …

New Report: Israel Adds Strong Strategic Contribution to US

Robert D. Blackwill and Walter B. Slocombe, who both served under Democratic and Republican administrations recently presented the Washington Institute for Near East Policy with a thesis asserting that:

"Israel and the United States enjoy a special alliance which has a strong strategic contribution to US security".

"The United States has taken advantage of access to unique Israeli capabilities in key ‘niche’ areas of military technology. Israeli technology promotes American interests. Increasingly, US homeland security and military agencies are turning to Israeli technology to solve some of their most vexing technical problems.

"Through joint training and exercises as well as exchanges on military doctrine, the United States has benefited in the areas of counter terrorism cooperation, tactical intelligence, and experience in urban warfare".

"Counter terrorism and intelligence cooperation is deep and extensive, with the United States and Israel working to advance their common interest in defeating the terrorism of Hamas, Hezbollah and al-Qaeda; sharing information, supporting preventive actions, deterring challenges, and coordinating overall strategy".

"In the vital realm of missile defense cooperation, the United States has a broad and multifaceted relationship with Israel, which is its most sophisticated and experienced partner in this field".

"Israel’s national missile defenses will be an integral part of a larger missile defense architecture spanning Europe, the Eastern Mediterranean, and the Persian Gulf that will help protect US forces and allies throughout this vast area".

Walter B. Slocombe

Born September 23 1941, Slocombe is a lawyer and career federal official.

He joined the staff of the National Security Council in 1969 and prior to that he worked as a law clerk for Supreme Court Justice Abe Fortas.

He was Under Secretary of Defense for Policy in the Clinton administration (1994–2001) and was the Senior Advisor for Security and Defence to the Coalition Provisional Authority in Baghdad (2003).

He is a four-time recipient of an award for Distinguished Public Service and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and currently practices law with the Washington firm of Caplin & Drysdale.

Robert D. Blackwill

Born August 8 1939, Robert Dean Blackwill is an American lobbyist and retired diplomat.

He was the United States Ambassador to India (2001–2003), and United States National Security Council Deputy for Iraq (2003–2004), where he was a liaison between Paul Bremer and Condoleezza Rice.

More From The Report

"Israel’s integrated, multi-layered command-and-control network contributes to the US military’s ability to defend against the Iranian missile threat".

"Israel and the US enjoy broad intelligence cooperation, and this intimate relationship reinforces overall US intelligence efforts by providing Washington with access to Israel’s unique set of capabilities for collection and assessments on key countries and issues in the region, since Israel is able to focus resources and attention on certain targets of central importance to the United States.

"As Israel’s strategic intelligence collection capabilities mature, this cooperation and exchange of intelligence information will increasingly serve US national interests".

The Pros Easily Outweigh The Cons

"We do not deny that there are costs to the United States, in the Arab world and elsewhere, for its support of Israel. We are, however, convinced that in a net assessment those real costs are markedly outweighed by the many ways in which Israel bolsters US national interests and the benefits that Israel provides to those interests".

"In particular, we believe that the United States can have strong and productive relations with Arab and other Muslim nations while sustaining its intimate collaboration with Israel, and that US support for Israel is not the primary, and probably not even a dominant reason Islamist terrorists target the United States".

"The long-standing US commitment to Israel has not prevented development of close ties with Arab nations and nor has it made the Arab oil-exporting states any less conscious of their own economic and strategic interest in a reasonably stable flow of oil to world markets, or their eagerness to buy first-class military equipment from the United States".

The Bottom Line

Blackwill and Slocombe wrote that the:

"The conclusion of our analysis is that the US-Israel relationship is a significant asset to US national interests and the potential for even greater US benefits from deeper cooperation is substantial".

An article entitled Does Israel Depend On American Aid? was written back in 2009, but it provides in depth info about the cost of US aid to Israel and the findings might surprise you.

Islamism actually is Islam | The Ground Zero Declaration

www.groundzerodeclaration.org10/23/11

The following is from a best selling book entitled:

Dr. Hammond, who has a doctorate in Theology was born in Capetown in 1960, grew up in Rhodesia and converted to Christianity in 1977.

Islam Is Not A Religion Or A Cult

In its fullest form, it is a complete, total, 100% system of life!

Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, social, and military components, but the religious component is simply a beard for all of the other components.

How Is Islamization Achieved?

Islamization begins when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their religious privileges.

When politically correct, tolerant, and culturally diverse societies agree to Muslim demands for their religious privileges, some of the other components creep in as well..

Here’s How It Works

* The following figures were correct in 2008 so most countries will have experienced and increase in Islamization since then.

Whilst the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, it will for the most part be regarded as a peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens.

This is still the case in:

United States — Muslim 0.6%
Australia — Muslim 1.5%
Canada — Muslim 1.9%
China — Muslim 1.8%
Italy — Muslim 1.5%
Norway — Muslim 1.8%

But From 2% To 5%

Muslims begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from jails and street gangs.

This is happening in:

Denmark — Muslim 2%
Germany — Muslim 3.7%
United Kingdom — Muslim 2.7%
Spain — Muslim 4%
Thailand — Muslim 4.6%

From Five To Nine Percent

From 5% – 9% Muslims begin to exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population.

How?

They begin by pushing for the introduction of halal food which in turn secures
food preparation jobs for Muslims.

They then increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves, along with threats for noncompliance.

This is happening in:

France — Muslim 8%
Philippines — 5%
Sweden — Muslim 5%
Switzerland — Muslim 4.3%
The Netherlands — Muslim 5.5%
Trinidad & Tobago — Muslim 5.8%

At this point, Muslims will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves under Sharia, the Islamic Law.

The ultimate and openly expressed goal of Islamist leaders is to establish Sharia law throughout the world, and I admire Muslim leaders for their honesty!

But sadly for non-Islamic countries, their leaders mostly say, “They’re just saying that”.

From Ten To Twenty Nineteen Percent

When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they increase lawlessness by protesting their conditions, and in Paris, cars are still being burned every night.

Any non-Muslim action offends Islam, and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam, with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam.

Such tensions are now seen daily, particularly in Muslim areas in:

Guyana — Muslim 10%
India — Muslim 13.4%
Israel — Muslim 16%
Kenya — Muslim 10%
Russia — Muslim 15%

From Twenty To Thirty Nine Percent

After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burning of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues, such as in:
Ethiopia — Muslim 32.8%

From Forty To Fifty Nine Percent

At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare.

Such as in:

Bosnia — Muslim 40%
Chad — Muslim 53.1%
Lebanon — Muslim 59.7%

From Sixty To Seventy Nine Percent

From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and Jizya which is a tax placed on infidels.

Such as in:

Albania — Muslim 70%
Malaysia — Muslim 60.4%
Qatar — Muslim 77.5%
Sudan — Muslim 70%

From Eighty To Ninety Nine Percent

After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide as these nations drive out the infidels and move toward a 100% Muslim population.

Such as has been experienced and in some ways is on-going in:

Bangladesh — Muslim 83%
Egypt — Muslim 90%
Gaza — Muslim 98.7%
Indonesia — Muslim 86.1%
Iran — Muslim 98%
Iraq — Muslim 97%
Jordan — Muslim 92%
Morocco — Muslim 98.7%
Pakistan — Muslim 97%
Palestine — Muslim 99%
Syria — Muslim 90%
Tajikistan — Muslim 90%
Turkey — Muslim 99.8%
United Arab Emirates — Muslim 96%

One Hundred Percent

100% should usher in the peace of ‘Dar-es-Salaam’, which is the Islamic House of Peace!

But There Is No Peace!

At this point there is supposed to be peace, because everybody is a Muslim, the Madrasses are the only schools, and the Koran is the only word.

Such as in:

Afghanistan — Muslim 100%
Saudi Arabia — Muslim 100%
Somalia — Muslim 100%
Yemen — Muslim 100%

Peace is never achieved however, because in these 100% states the most radical Muslims intimidate and spew hatred, and satisfy their blood lust by killing less radical Muslims, for a variety of reasons.

Ghettos In Non-Islamic Lands

It is important to understand that in some countries, which have well under 100% Muslim populations, such as France, the minority Muslim populations live in ghettos, within which they are 100% Muslim, and within which they live by Sharia Law, and the national police daren’t even enter these ghettos.

There are no national courts, nor schools, nor non-Muslim religious facilities.

In such situations, Muslims do not integrate into the community at large.

The children attend madrasses.

They learn only the Koran.

To even associate with an infidel is a crime punishable with death.

Therefore, in some areas of certain nations, Muslim Imams and extremists exercise far more power than the national average would indicate.

The Growth Of Islam

Today’s 1.5 billion Muslims make up 22% of the world’s population, but their birth rates dwarf the birth rates of Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, and all other believers.

Muslims are likely to exceed 50% of the world’s population by the end of this century.

Adapted from Dr. Peter Hammond’s book:

Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat.

Wael Ghonim's letter to Tantawi – Blog – The Arabist

A Powerful piece of writing Wael Ghonim !!! It should be printed and hung on every lamp post / bus stop/ bazaar/ coffee house wall. Thank you, arabist.net for posting it on your website. Sep 17, 2011 at 7:30 PM | Unregistered …

http://www.arabist.net/blog/2011/9/16/wael-ghonims-letter-to-tantawi.html

Following the attack on the Israeli Embassy in Egypt, Wael Ghonim, who is in charge of marketing for Google in the Middle East and Africa wrote on Twitter on Saturday Sept 10 2011,

"What we are witnessing now is contrary to what I dreamt of. We need to wake up quickly and mend our ways in order to achieve the revolution’s dream".

"What we are seeing are actions driven by emotions that are stripping the revolution of its context, leading us to celebrate imaginary victories. If we don’t use our brain, it will fail and result in frustration for an entire generation that dreamt of changing its nation".

It’s more than than six months since the start of the revolution that removed Hosni Mubarak from power in Egypt and there is no political reform in sight; Egypt’s economy is collapsing; and chaos reins with the streets more dangerous now than they were for decades.

Wael Ghonim is an internet activist whose Facebook page partially triggered the revolution in Egypt, and regardless of his self-perceived noble goals, one might reasonably ask whether Google should have fired him or not.

Ghonim rose to fame after an emotional interview following his incarceration by Egyptian police during which he was interrogated regarding his work as the administrator of the Facebook page.

He started the Facebook page and incited whilst being employed by them as, Regional Product & Marketing Manager of Google Middle East and North Africa, and given his job, I’d personally say that he should not have started or continued with the webpage, without first resigning from Google.

TIME magazine added him in its "Time 100" list of 100 most influential people of 2011 and added, "We are all Khaled Saeed".

A Ray Of Light In The Darkness

On a Facebook page that is affiliated with the Egyptian opposition movement, members had been asked to vote whether they supported or rejected the violence around the embassy and as of Saturday evening, nearly 63,000 of the 75,000 respondents said they opposed it.

ANDREW BOSTOM: THE “GOOD” REVOLT IN SYRIA OR JUST …

While Hafez al-Assad ruled Syria in the early 1970s, these were the conditions under which Syrian Jews lived: Jews were required to live in ghettos and not permitted to travel more than 3 or 4 kiolmeters from their homes. …

Syria's opposition gets organized – By Sophia Jones | FP Passport

Over the past six months, Syria has erupted into chaos. As protesters took to the streets to demand the removal of President Bashar al-Assad, the Syrian army and police responded with deadly force: The United Nations now …

Adnan al-Bakkour said his resignation was due to security forces having killed seventy two jailed protesters and activists at Hama’s central jail on the eve of the July 31, military assault on city.

He also said that at least another four hundred and twenty additional people were killed in the operation and were later buried in mass graves in public parks.

"I, Judge Adnan Mohammad al-Bakkour, Hama province Attorney-General, declare that I have resigned in order to protest the savage regime’s practices against peaceful demonstrators".

Bakkour said in the video released by activists.

An independent lawyer said the person in the video was definitely Bakkour, and he also denied reports by state media that he had been kidnapped by armed groups earlier this week.

If confirmed, Bakkour’s resignation would be the first high profile defection in the uprising against Assad.

The United Nations says more than 2,000 civilians have been killed since protests began in March.

Meanwhile, residents of Hama said security police and state militiamen, known as shabbiha, raided houses overnight in the al-Sabouniya and al-Marabet districts, after troops backed by tanks arrested dozens in two other neighborhoods of the city the night before.

Haidar, a local activist, told Reuters by phone.

"The inhabitants are responding by shouting, ‘God Is Great’ from windows and rooftops’".

"Tonight there will be more random raids as opposed to what the army did yesterday, which was to go into specific houses looking for suspected activists on a list".

Where is the world’s outrage?

Where are Obama, Europe, many other countries, and the so called activists?

Norway Embraces Islamist Tyranny :: Hudson New York

Anti-Semitism in Norway, where I have lived for twelve years, is over the top. I have never quite gotten used to it. Every now and then I hear or read something that reminds me that I am living in Europe, in a country that was …

DR.MANFRED GERSTENFELD

“This is what the Norwegian political, academic and for the most part, media elite, would prefer to sweep under the carpet. These are the facts people, anti-Semitism is rife in Norway though they would have you to believe that they’ve cornered the market on humanitarianism. They haven’t, but they are specialists in humanitarian racism, or the soft racism of lowered expectations!”.

Since the horrific Oslo and Utoya killings, there has been increased media attention on the long-term multi-faceted anti-Israeli incitement by the Norwegian government, and the country’s cultural elite.

Terror More Justified Against Israel?!

After the murder the Norwegian Ambassador to Israel, Svein Sevje, implied in an interview that, "Palestinian terror against Israelis is more justified than terror against Norwegians".

But a few days after a critique by Alan Dershowitz, who wrote:

"I can’t remember many other examples of so much nonsense in such short an interview".

Sevje told Haaretz:

"The history of Norway vis -a-vis Israel is one of great support.

Norway’s Support Of Terror Against Israel

In 2002, several members of the 1994 Norwegian Nobel Committee who granted the Nobel Peace Prize to Yitzhak Rabin, Shimon Peres, and Yasser Arafat i.e. Bishop Gunnar Stlsett, Sissel Rnbeck, and former Norwegian Prime Minister Odvar Nordli, expressed their disappointment in Peres, and a fourth member, Hanna Kvanmo, said she wished there was a way to take the prize back from Peres.

Kvanmo also said Peres was on the verge of being considered guilty of war crimes, but she didn’t mention Arafat.

*Kvanmo was a Nazi collaborator who was jailed after World War II, but the Socialist Left party selected her for the Nobel Prize Committee, which is made up of political appointees.

Then bishop of Oslo Stlsett did describe the involvement of Nobel Laureate Peres in human rights abuses as “absurd” but he also remained silent about Yasser Arafat, and the Jerusalem Post published an article noting that the members of the Nobel Committee still stood by their choice of Arafat.

N.B. By that time, Israel had publicized a list of the terrorist operatives that Arafat financed, and also revealed that his signature was on the page listing the amounts paid to the murderers.

AUF – The Workers Youth League

Last month, just one day before the murders in Oslo and Utoya, Norway’s Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere spoke at the anti-Israel incitement camp of the AUF, the youth organization of his Labor party.

He called for the dismantling of Israel’s security barrier even though he knew well that it was built to prevent further murderous Palestinian terror attacks.

* The AUF was formed in April 1927, following the merger of Left Communist Youth League and Socialist Youth League of Norway and its ideology is social democracy and democratic socialism. Its current leader is Eskil Pedersen and many former leading figures in the AUF have gone on to serve in positions in government, such as the incumbent Prime Minister of Norway, Jens Stoltenberg.

The Lutheran Church

Even though it acknowledges the threat of terror against Israel, Norway’s Lutheran Church still demands that Israel’s security barrier be dismantled.

The Norwegian Church Aid (NCA) receives major funding from the Norwegian Foreign Ministry and one can debate whether it is only soft on terror, or an indirect terror promoter, but following the violent Hamas takeover of Gaza in 2006, the NCA criticized the Norwegian government for, "withdrawing economic support" for the "Hamas government".

The Norwegian People’s Aid (NPA) did the same thing. It is one of the largest and most highly regarded of Norway’s humanitarian and development NGOs and is funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The NPA website promotes the, "Stop the Wall Campaign in Norway".

No Hamas In The Hospital?!

Two extreme left-wing doctors, Mads Gilbert and Erik Fosse, went to Gaza during the Cast Lead War in 2008-2009, claiming that they wanted to provide medical assistance to the Palestinians.

Gilbert and Fosse later failed to mention that the Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza where they worked had been used for military purposes by Hamas, but to their embarrassment it later became known that Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh and other Hamas executives took over an entire ward of that hospital during the war.

After the September 11 attacks, Gilbert stated that he supported the terrorist attacks on the United States.

He and Fosse were interviewed extensively by the Norwegian and world press, and made serious accusations against Israel and according to Norway’s largest paper Verdens Gang, their trip to Gaza was paid for by the Norwegian Foreign Ministry.

The Deputy Minister Of The Environment

Finally, there is Deputy Minister of the Environment, Ingrid Fiskaa, who delights in visions of terrorism against Israel.

A year before she entered the government, Fiskaa told a newspaper that she:

"sometimes dreams about the United Nations firing rockets into Israel".

Following the brutal murders of their own, one can only hope that the above anti-Semites will now reconsider their attitude towards Jews and terror.

It’s doubtful however that they will change it towards Jews, because that attitude hasn’t changed since WW2 and before!

The following video hopefully makes clear when and how the terms "West Bank", "Occupied territories" and "67 Borders" originated, and also shows their inaccuracies.

It’s aim is to make clear how the terms are very often incorrectly used, and applied.

Your feedback is very welcome!
