Israel’s Updated Gaza Strip Policy
by jeremy (Hija del Zion para
Israel - Daughter of Zion for
Israel)
Submitted at 6/21/2010 3:06:47 PM
Over the past few months, Israel
began easing restrictions on the flow
of goods into Gaza. This was met
with approval by UN Secretary Ban
Ki-Moon during his visit to the
region. Israel’s policy towards the
Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip is not
stagnant and is always changing in
response to regional security. Over
this past weekend, the Israeli Cabinet
voted to approve a number of
measures which will create a much
simpler policy towards the closure of
Gaza.
The goal of the closure has always
been to eliminate the flow of
combatants and deny Hamas
weaponry which it has, and will
continue to use against Israelis and
Palestinians. However, the updated
policy will make the distinction
between what is and what is not
allowed into Gaza clearer. All goods,
food products, medicine etc. will
continue to enter Gaza with no
restrictions. But rather than publish a
list of what is allowed, the Israeli
government has decided it will be
simpler to have only a list of what is
not allowed. This way, there is no
confusion and the world can see that
Israel has no intentions to deny
Gazans needed goods. Again,
How’s that ‘engagement’ going Mr. President?

How’s that ‘engagement’ going Mr.
President? Back in February, Iranian
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
and Hezbullah leader Hassan
Nasrallah came to Damascus for what
al-Quds al-Arabi editor Bari Atwan
called a ‘ war council.’ On Monday,
Kuwait’s Al-Anba newspaper
reported that another war council will
take place, and this time it will also
include members of Hamas (Hat Tip:
Memeorandum).
The meeting, according to the
anonymous source quoted in the
paper, will take place in late June,
under official Syrian patronage, in an
6/21/2010 at 3:00:00 PM - 6/22/2010 at 5:46:22 AM
everything that is not on the
published list of banned materials
(grenades and rifles etc.) will pass
through any and all Israeli-operated
crossings.
The policy of liberalizing the entry
of civilian goods into Gaza is meant
to enable the civilian population to
engage in routine economic and
civilian activity, while simultaneously
preventing the entry of weapons and
materiel that could help the Hamas
terror regime to strike at Israeli
citizens. Any civilian product that is
not on the list of prohibited items will
be allowed in.
As for “dual use” items, or goods
that can be used either for civilian
projects or terrorism, Israel will allow
them entry to Gaza. With the help of
international bodies, Israel is creating
a system in which “dual use” goods
such as raw metals and chemicals will
be delivered with assurances from
third parties that its destination is not
Hamas but the people of Gaza. To
ensure the safety and prosperity of the
Palestinian people living in Gaza,
efforts must be made to ensure that
Hamas does not hijack incoming aid,
which has been happening on a daily
basis.
Said Robert Serry, special envoy of
the United Nations Secretary-
General, “This targeting [by Hamas]
of NGOs, including UN partner
organizations, is unacceptable,
violating accepted norms of a free
effort to activate resistance in the
region in light of an expected Israeli
offensive against Iran or against
Hizbullah in Lebanon.
Initial arrangements for the meeting,
according to senior Palestinian
sources speaking to the Kuwaiti
paper, were made at a
commemoration event for leader of
the Iranian revolution in 1979
Ayatollah Syed Ruhollah Moosavi
Khomeini, who died on 4 June 1989.
As part of an apparent ramp up in
relations between Palestinian
opposition factions – namely Hamas
and Islamic Jihad – Lebanon and
Syria, the groups were reportedly
permitted to establish community
centers in the refugee camps of
southern Lebanon, which had
previously been prohibited in favor of
society and harming the Palestinian
people. The de facto authorities must
cease such repressive steps and allow
the re-opening of these civil society
institutions without delay.”
The policy of closure on the Gaza
Strip is anchored in international
rules of law and treaties (including
the Geneva Convention and the San
Remo Manual on International Law
Applicable to Armed Conflicts at
Sea). The policy was also authorized
by the Israel Supreme Court, an
independent body not tied to politics
of the ruling government.
Restrictions on the entry of goods
into the Gaza Strip is now at a bare
minimum, in which items banned are
comparable to what one is not
allowed to bring to the United States
from Canada. Make no mistake,
Israel’s sanctions against Hamas
authorities will continue to deny them
weapons to use against innocent
civilians, both Israeli and Palestinian.
The people of Gaza are not our
enemy, and we hope that this updated
policy will strength Palestinians while
weakening Hamas, which refuses to
recognize Israel’s right to exist. Like

Obama’s Collapsing Base
by Daniel Greenfield @ the
Sultan Knish blog (Hija del Zion
para Israel - Daughter of Zion
for Israel)
Submitted at 6/21/2010 8:14:00 PM
In a single year Obama lost the
support of independent voters and
liberal Republicans by passing the
left’s agenda. And this year, he is
well on the way to losing the support
of the left for not passing enough of
their agenda. Being too left wing for
mainstream America, and too
mainstream for the left is not a new
problem for the Democratic party. It’s
a problem they’ve faced since what
had been the counterculture became
the party establishment. But it’s a
special problem for the man who rose
to power as the poster child of the
left. Barack Hussein Obama.
2008 was the left’s big moment. Its
chance to seize control of the
Democratic party and through it all of
America. The progressive
radicalization of liberalism had
allowed the left to mainstream its
ideas within the party.The 8 years of
the Bush Administration had also
allowed the left to be in the vanguard
of the opposition, which through their
grass roots organizations, funded by
the likes of Soros, they made sure to
translate into also being in the
vanguard of the party as a whole.
Taking down Hillary, who had been
positioning herself as a conservative
Democrat, was Job 1. Picking the
horse to ride to the White House was
Job 2.
The main two contenders were John
Edwards and Barack Obama. Initially
Edwards looked like the better
candidate to sell America on the left’s
agenda by wrapping it up in the
sugary rhetoric of compassion with
some obligatory JFK New Frontier
homages. But to many Edwards
seemed like yet another version of
Bill Clinton, a Southern Democrat
who spoke the progressive language,
but had enough realpolitik to draw the
line at his own political welfare. And
as it turned out, Edwards shared yet
another of Clinton’s proclivities
which made him politically
unsuitable. Obama was a bigger risk,
but he came with “deep backing”
from luminaries like Ayers. The only
obstacle for the party was to make
him seem mainstream enough to be
electable. Which they did by
wrapping him in the flag at every
opportunity and keeping his rhetoric
focused away from specifics and
toward high minded generalities.
The left thought it had its candidate.
So did the party. Both spent a great
deal of money to put him in the White
House, but neither of them really
spent very much time thinking about
who Barack Hussein Obama really
was. Obama’s native instincts as the
eternal outsider allowed him to wear
numerous disguises. And so he had
no really trouble finessing a new set
of dual identities, as both a radical
and a moderate at the same time. But
the problem with maintaining
contradictory identities is that sooner
or later you have to commit. The
agenda of the left and that of the party
were not completely incompatible.
Both for example wanted socialized
medicine and cap and trade. But the
main priority for the Democratic
party leadership was getting to power
and staying there. For the left
however, the agenda always comes
first. And both naturally assumed that
Obama shared their priorities.
Careerism for the party. And ideology
for the left.
What neither of them considered was
that Obama was even more of a fraud
than Edwards or Clinton. Because
Obama was not just hiding mere run
of the mill political hypocrisy or
personal infidelity, he was living a lie
in a much more profound way.
Politicians commonly pretend to care
about things to appeal to voters. But
Obama had been pretending to care
about things all his life. He had spent
the better part of his life playing the
chameleon, and this made him a
natural politician, but underneath all
that was a coldness and detachment
that exceeded that of any normal
politician. Obama had learned
quickly that identity is more defined
by the things you care about, than the
country you come from or the color
of your skin. There was only one
problem, he didn’t care about any of
those things. He cared only about
himself.
The administration that Obama put
together was a compromise. Clinton
people out front and the radicals just
behind them. The Clinton people
were there to reassure the party, but
often they had titles, but not real
power or access. The radicals were
there to reassure the left that
everything was going according to
plan. Obama came into office with a
halo and golden wings, surrounded by
propaganda more worthy of North
Korea, than the United States of
America. The left assumed that this
would give him unlimited power.
Saner Democrats knew better and
assumed that the White House did
too. What followed was the usual
“Pigs at the Trough” scene as the
victors dug in and began feeding off
the crisis. Stimulus and bailout,
takeover and take home checks.
For Obama it was an endless party,
an extension of his campaign but with
more stature and a bigger budget.
Plane trips anywhere he wanted.
Vacation homes. Glamorous parties
and dinners. The D.C. party circuit
that had been moribund during 8
years of Bush was back with a
vengeance. For his associates, it was
a chance to cash in. For the left, it
was about pushing their agenda, their
way. Everyone was acting as if they
had won the Superbowl, when what
they had really won was a chance to
be responsible for a major economic
crisis. And internally no one was
happy. Obama had protected himself
by playing divide and conquer,
setting up conflicts within his
administration, while he stood back
and let them fight it out. This
aggravated the existing fault lines
within the Democratic camp and
created the appearance of an absentee
landlord.
Democratic party insiders began to
see Obama as oddly distant and a
neophyte lacking in basic
management skills. The left
meanwhile was becoming
increasingly irritated because they
weren’t getting their way often
enough. The left wanted radical
change, while party politicians
wanted to stay in power. Obama had
to choose between two sides.
Mainstream party donors who wanted
stability and radical donors and their
grass roots networks who wanted
radical change. A talented politician
might have been able to keep both
sides working together. Obama was
not the man for the job. And while he
was trying to keep both sides happy,
he was thoroughly alienating
mainstream Americans.
Obamacare was when it all went
south, as a panicked Democratic
congress was herded into supporting
a wildly unpopular plan. A plan that
an embittered left thought didn’t go
far enough, but turned independent
voters into Tea Party supporters. It
was the ugliest and biggest pork pie
in a series of them, which nobody but
Joe Biden seemed happy about.
Alienating the left was a dangerous
thing to do, because they were the
ones who had provided Obama with a
radical halo. This was what drove the
press to treat him as the love child of
Gandhi and Martin Luther King, to
shamelessly drool all over him, and
denounce any and all opponents of
him as ruthlessly as a Pravda
editorial. Ideology is the messianism
of the left. And as the left grows
dissatisfied with Obama– his
ideological halo dims, and the media
begins to stir and ask uncomfortable
questions.
The Democrats have lost faith in
Obama’s political invulnerability.
Candidates are actively ducking his
endorsements even in primary races.
The left meanwhile is losing faith in
Obama’s revolutionary conscience,
his willingness to do whatever it takes
to push their agenda through.
Communist regimes usually purged
their own ranks after a revolution to
get rid of the fire breathers, who
become an inconvenience once the
practical issues of governance have to
be decided. Previous Democratic
administrations did not have gulags
or firing squads at their disposal,
they simply sidelined the left and let
them protest impotently. Obama has
not taken that road yet, mainly
because he comes from the left, and
because such a purge would
thoroughly alienate his non-minority
base. But he may not have a choice.
In 2008, Obama ran against the War
in Iraq, against economic malaise and
an out of touch administration. It’s
2010 and as far as his base is
concerned, nothing has really
changed. Which means they’re less
likely to bother voting and more
likely to invest their energies into
backing even more marginal
candidates on the left. Another year
of this and the only people who will
still be invested in an Obama
Administration are the people making
money off his bailouts, programs and
laws. And that can only repulse the
public even more.
Obama alienated the center by
pandering to his base and alienated
his base by not giving them
everything they wanted right away.
The Democratic party has stopped
celebrating him and come to the
realization that for the next few years
they’re stuck with him. The left is
teetering on the edge of throwing him
over for another socialist knight in
rotten armor. And as his base
collapses, he has few options left.

Nepal: School textbook banned for Overnight
"feminine" depiction of Muhammad music

Nepal: School textbook banned for
“feminine” depiction of Muhammad
Of course, depictions of Muhammad
are verboten to begin with, but given
women’s status in Islam, maybe
that’s why making Muhammad in any
way “feminine” is such an insult.
“Nepal bans school book after
Muslim outcry,” from Indo-Asian
News Service, June 21 (thanks to
Twostellas):
The Nepal government Monday
banned a school textbook after
growing outcry by Muslims over an
‘objectionable’ illustration depicting
Prophet Mohammed as a woman-like
figure and containing ‘erroneous
interpretations’ of Islam.
It would be interesting to see what
the problem was with the image that
got it tagged as “woman-like.”
This is the first time in Nepal, which
has enjoyed religious harmony
despite being a Hindu kingdom till
2006, that the government has banned
a book after protests by Muslims.
The education ministry issued a
statement asking schools not to teach
from the controversial textbook – ‘A
modern approach to social studies’ –
brought out by New Nepal
Publication.
It said that the book was not
authorised by the department that
supervises all school textbooks and

Times Square jihadist says he is
“guilty and 100 times more” And he
says he wanted to set off the bomb
because the U.S. is “terrorizing the
Muslim nations and the Muslim
people.” Now would be a perfect
opportunity for ostensible
“moderates” like Honest Ibe Hooper
and Brave Ahmed Rehab to explain
why they don’t believe that the U.S.
is terrorizing Muslim nations, and
don’t think Muslims should be
waging jihad against the U.S. Honest
Ibe? Brave Ahmed? Anyone?
Anyone?
“Times Square car bomb suspect
pleads guilty in NYC,” from AP, June
21:
NEW YORK – A Pakistan-born U.S.
citizen pleaded guilty to trying to
bomb Times Square and says he is
“part of the answer to the U.S.
terrorizing the Muslim nations and
added that it should not be taught in
schools.
All school books authorised by the
government respected religious and
cultural sentiments, it said.
The first objections were raised by
Muslim Association Nepal that called
a press conference in the capital last
week to object to the controversial
book as well as two others.
Mohammad Nizamuddin, senior vice
-president of the association, told
IANS that the books gave wrong
information about Prophet
Mohammed, erroneously describing
him as the ‘founder of Islam’.
‘We Muslims believe Allah created
the universe and that the Islam
religion existed since creation,’
Nizamuddin told IANS. ‘Because
many people did not know this and
other things about Islam, Prophet
Mohammed came as the messenger
of Allah to explain things to people.’
Not only is it radical historical
revisionism, but a demand for
textbooks to accept a matter of
Islamic faith as fact.
The now banned book, meant to be
taught in class 8, also carried an
illustration of Prophet Mohammed
looking like a woman.
Islam forbids idolatrous depictions
and there is no authentic historical
record to establish what Prophet
Muhammad looked like.
Two other books have also come
under fire for similar transgressions.
These are ‘Nepal Social Studies’
published by Athrai Publications and
the Muslim people.”
Faisal Shahzad (FY’-sul shah-
ZAHD’) defiantly made the statement
in federal court Monday as he
pleaded guilty to a 10-count
indictment charging him in the failed
bombing.
He also says he actually tried to set
off three separate bombs in an SUV
parked near a Broadway theater May
1 to injure and kill people but that all
three failed to ignite. The Bridgeport,
Conn., resident was arrested two days
later.
Shahzad (FY’-sul shah-ZAHD’) said
he was trained by the Pakistan
Taliban in Pakistan in late December
and early January before he returned
to the United States in February to
build his bomb.
Sentencing is Oct. 5.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS
UPDATE. Check back soon for
further information. AP’s earlier story
is below.
NEW YORK (AP) — A Pakistan-
born U.S. citizen pleaded guilty
Monday to carrying out the failed
‘Asia’s Social Studies’ by Asia
Publications.
Nizamuddin said that ‘Nepal Social
Studies’ has also been banned and
Muslim organisations would continue
with their vigil for corrective
measures against the third book as
well.
Nizamuddin said the government had
also announced it would form a
committee to supervise textbooks and
prevent such errors in future….

President Obama Finances Offshore
Drilling in Brazil – WSJ.com

Submitted at 6/21/2010 8:40:00 PM
You read that headline correctly.
Unfortunately, the Obama
Administration is financing oil
exploration off Brazil.
The U.S. is going to lend billions of
dollars to Brazil’s state-owned oil
company, Petrobras, to finance
exploration of the huge offshore
discovery in Brazil’s Tupi oil field in
the Santos Basin near Rio de Janeiro.
Brazil’s planning minister confirmed
that White House National Security
Adviser James Jones met this month
with Brazilian officials to talk about
the loan.
The U.S. Export-Import Bank tells us
it has issued a “preliminary
commitment” letter to Petrobras in
the amount of $2 billion and has
discussed with Brazil the possibility
of increasing that amount. Ex-Im
Bank says it has not decided whether
the money will come in the form of a
direct loan or loan guarantees. Either
way, this corporate foreign aid may
strike some readers as odd, given that
the U.S. Treasury seems desperate for
cash and Petrobras is one of the
largest corporations in the Americas.
But look on the bright side. If
President Obama has embraced
offshore drilling in Brazil, why not in

the old U.S.A.? The land of the sorta
free and the home of the heavily
indebted has enormous offshore oil
deposits, and last year ahead of the
November elections, with gasoline at
$4 a gallon, Congress let a ban on
offshore drilling expire.
The Bush Administration’s five-year
plan (2007-2012) to open the outer
continental shelf to oil exploration
included new lease sales in the Gulf
of Mexico. But in 2007
environmentalists went to court to
block drilling in Alaska and in April a
federal court ruled in their favor. In
May, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar
said his department was unsure
whether that ruling applied only to
Alaska or all offshore drilling. So it
asked an appeals court for
clarification. Late last month the
court said the earlier decision applied
only to Alaska, opening the way for
the sale of leases in the Gulf. Mr.
Salazar now says the sales will go
forward on August 19.
This is progress, however slow. But
it still doesn’t allow the U.S. to
explore in Alaska or along the East
and West Coasts, which could be our
equivalent of the Tupi oil fields,
which are set to make Brazil a
leading oil exporter. Americans are
right to wonder why Mr. Obama is

BP Plc was struggling to seal cracks

February, more than two months
before an explosion killed 11 and
spewed oil into the Gulf of Mexico.
It took 10 days to plug the first
cracks, according to reports BP filed
with the Minerals Management

A prelude to war on Iran?
by Carl in Jerusalem (Hija del
Zion para Israel - Daughter of

A prelude to war on Iran? Earlier, I
reported that at least twelve war ships
crossed the Suez Canal into the Red
Sea on Friday. Eleven of those ships
may have been American. And they
may be headed for war with Iran.
One day prior to the report on
Saturday, Voice of Israel government
radio reported that the Egyptian
government denied an Israeli request
not to allow the Iranian flotilla to use
the Suez Canal to reach Gaza, in
violation of the Israeli sea embargo
on the Hamas-controlled area.
International agreements require
Egypt to keep the Suez open even for
warships, but the armada, led by the
USS Truman with 5,000 sailors and
marines, was the largest in years.
Egypt closed the canal to fishing and
other boats as the armada moved
through the strategic passageway that
connects the Red and Mediterranean
Seas.
Despite Egypt’s reported refusal to
block the canal to Iranian boats, the
clearance for the American-Israeli
fleet may be a warning to Iran it may
face military opposition if the Iranian
Red Crescent ship continues on
course to Gaza.
The warships may exercise the right
to inspect the Iranian boat for the
illegal transport or weapons.
Newsweek reported that Egyptian
authorities could stop the ship for
weeks, using technicalities such as
requiring that any official documents
be translated from Farsi into Arabic.

Most on Capitol Hill back Gaza
‘blockade’ Vast majorities in both the
US House and Senate have signed
onto a letter being sent to President
Obama urging support for Israel’s
‘blockade’ of Gaza (Hat Tip:
Memeorandum).
Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell,
along with 83 other senators, have
signed the Senate version of the
letter, which is backed by AIPAC;
298 members of the House have
signed on.
Says the letter:
We fully support Israel’s right to self
-defense. In response to thousands of
rocket attacks on Israel from Hamas
terrorists in Gaza, Israel took steps to
prevent items which could be used to
support these attacks from reaching
Gaza. Israel’s naval blockade, which
is legal under international law,
allows Israel to keep dangerous goods
from entering Gaza by sea. The intent
The magazine’s website also
reported that the Iranian navy is the

Tehran has already backed down
from announced intentions to escort
the Iranian ships with “volunteer
marines” from the Iranian

The Iranian news site Hamsayeh.net
reported, “The move might be in
connection to U.S. self-inflicted
embargo against Iran aimed at
inspecting Iran bound ships for
suspected goods related to the
country’s nuclear program.”

Nothing surprising here — “Post-

opportunity to bash John McCain in

McCain reveals a startling ignorance
about the Iranian regime when he
argues, as in his speech, that it
“spends its people’s precious
resources not on roads, or schools, or

groups of foreign extremists who

Another crisis between the

in Jerusalem, this time because of
Jerusalem’s plan to wreck 22 illegally
built Arab homes to make way for an
archaeological park. The Jerusalem
municipality proposal also calls for
making legal 66 other Arab buildings
built without permits.
Another similarity between Ramat
Shlomo and the park project is that
both of them are a long time away
from final approval. “This is a

still gives time, more than enough
time, for dialogue to continue
between the municipal authorities and

Today is a special day. It’s the
Summer Solstice. And it’s the official

This Golden Oldie was done 22
years ago. in 1988. Back then buses,
cabs, restaurants, living-rooms and
stores were not all air-conditioned.
Back then we were grumpier. I
believe that the two facts are
connected. Sure we continue to
remark on the heat, but we do it in
uncomfortably cool surroundings.
The other day, when I suggested to
the LSW (Long Suffering Wife) that
we go out for dinner, she said “Wait,
