0. 4:05 PM Qassam rocket lands in Ashkelon's national park. The missile alert system "Tzeva Adom" wa not activated in Ashkelon...only in Sederot. No injuries reported.
1. 2:04 PM. Schools in Kiryat Shmona have been instructed by the IDF to open their bomb shelters. Kibbutz Avivim residents even were unofficially instructed to enter theirs based on intelligence reports of possible upcoming rocket attacks.
2. The Gay Parade is approaching in Jerusalem. Watch out for traffic jams, police violence, demonstrator violence, police motorcycles that smash everything in their way, police water canons that have destroyed homes (even homes that had nothing to do with the demonstrations)
3. The other evening was a mega cool "Occultation" (eclipse/alignment) of Venus by the moon, which was very visible here in Israel. I called my kids to make sure they looked up at the sky to see it, since it was definitely bracha-worthy. The best pics I found are these: (the bright, star-like object is Venus)
4. Fatah asks for more weapons. US and Israel think its a grand idea. Hamas anticipates "inheriting them soon".
Enough for now.

A senior Hamas terrorist told WorldNetDaily that Hamas is encouraged by the funding and arming of Fatah in Judea and Samaria – as the Islamist group is certain it will inherit those weapons and funds just as it did when it took over Gaza. "Like the American weapons in Gaza we told you would come to Hamas, also the weapons and aid the Americans are giving to Abu Mazen (Abbas) as part of their conspiracy against us in the West Bank will find its way to the Palestinian resistance and Hamas," Hamas’s Abu Abdullah said. He would not say whether Hamas was planning to take over Judea and Samaria from Fatah in the near future, but said he “hopes” that the US continues to provide large quantities of weaponry to Fatah so Hamas can inherit them. Hamas is currently “swimming” in American weapons seized last week from Fatah facilities, according to Abdullah. A7

Wherever I am, my blog turns towards Eretz Yisrael
Giving Fatah weapons is in line with our new president's well thought-out philosophy:

ReplyDeleteWait, I thought that they already had Israeli pride day? Wasn't it in October?
ReplyDeletePride Parade: Take #2.
ReplyDeleteFirst time wasnt a parade but a "get together" in the HU sports stadium...
Yep, that sounds about right. It's a little early in the summer for a way, but hey, it's still summer.
