Boulder, Colorado Anti Semitic Fire Attack

                                                                       

From left, Carrie Spyva-McIlvaine, Gabriel Velasco and Lisa Turnquist arrive to place bouquets of flowers at a memorial after Sunday's attack in Boulder, Colorado.  (The man's shirt says "Am Yisrael Khai" which means the people of Israel live).  Now, the organization is figuring out how to continue its mission in the aftermath of the violence.

Federal agents said Mohamed Sabry Soliman told police after his arrest in a Boulder firebombing that he planned his attack for a year, would do it again if he could and "wished they all were dead."

 Police arrested a 45-year-old man, Soliman,  for attacking participants at an event held on behalf of Israeli hostages in Boulder, Colorado, on Sunday. Here’s everything we know about the incident. (He was an Egyptian with 5 children ;filled with incorrect information enough to make him want to burn Jews alive.) 

Who are the victims of the Boulder attack? 

Police say there are eight victims aged 52 to 88 who were hospitalized with burns, and another four who suffered minor injuries. The victims were part of Run for Their Lives, a weekly vigil and march for Israeli captives who remain held by Hamas. So far, little information has emerged about the identity of those injured or their condition, although The New York Times reported that at least two were flown to a burn unit in nearby Denver.

Leo Terrell, the chair of the Trump administration’s antisemitism task force, said one individual hospitalized after the attack was a female Holocaust survivor. She has not been named.  (She may be the Holocaust survivor because of her age).  

The violent attack in Boulder over the weekend targeted a group that aims to bring public attention to the hostages Hamas continues to hold in Gaza.

It's called "Run for Their Lives."

Now, the organization is figuring out how to continue its mission in the aftermath of the violence.

Federal agents said Mohamed Sabry Soliman told police after his arrest in a Boulder firebombing that he planned his attack for a year, would do it again if he could and "wished they all were dead."

According to a federal criminal complaint filed Monday morning, Soliman, 45, threw two lit Molotov cocktails at the gathering near the Boulder courthouse, yelling "Free Palestine!"

The founder of Run for Their Lives, Shany Klein, a licensed attorney in California and Israel, thanked law enforcement and fire department officials for “their quick response” and said her “thoughts and prayers were with the victims,” who she hoped would have a “speedy recovery.”

She stressed that Run for Their Lives would continue to be “committed to our mission until all the hostages are returned back home.”

According to the group's LinkedIn page, Run for the Lives was set up in response to the October 7 attack and calls for "the immediate release of the hostages held by Hamas."

Israel Now Hit By Iran's Ballistic Missiles !

 Nadene Goldfoot                                         

9:30am:  Monday, Directly from Iran, ballistic missiles are being broken up in the air above densely populated Tel Aviv by the Iron Dome of Israel, making a 4th of July scene in the sky!  October 1, 2024 will go down in the history books along with October 7th and October 8th, 2023.  Some missiles, rockets and drones seems to also be coming from Iraq, coming in several directions !                                          

Israel is fighting a major war from 4 Fronts.  Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas and Houthis.  

The USA was known to have reported this coming event 3 hours ago!  Congress had already taken off for a high holiday, so they said. The Jewish high holidays start on Wednesday at sundown.  It's only Monday at 8pm in Israel while its morning on our West Coast in USA.  

Israel was hit by such missiles in April, hitting Tel Aviv skies.  Then, Iran stopped after Israel's friends came to the aid of Israel.  

Iran is trying to hit Mossad and Air Force bases. They are shooting cruise missiles and drones as well.  All this comes after Israel gave Iran the great lesson of wiping out the present day leaders of Hezbollah meeting in Lebanon where they have been attacking Israel.  

While reporting all this on Israel 24, the reporters had to leave the rooftop and take cover.

Dozens were seen falling in Southern and Central Israel, so they had reported.  

What Russia and NATO Might Do on Rosh Hashana, the Birthday of the World

 Nadene Goldfoot                                          

While we Jews are busy preparing for Shabbat tonight and the start of Rosh Hashana on Sunday evening,  the Erev Rosh Hashana dinner, The world is facing a possible war with Russia by Monday, when sham voting will end to decide whether they want Donbas held by Russia or Ukraine.  After listening to CNN and General Clapper and watching the riots happening in St. Petersburg, Russia where men are being hauled away by some type of police to be forced into the army, we presume.   I can only wonder what will happen by Monday, our 1st day of the Birthday of the world.

Everyone is worried that Putin's way of pulling out all stops is to use his nuclear weapons. That's one way to put an end to our world.

"BRUSSELS, Sept 23 (Reuters) - NATO will ramp up its help for Kyiv in response to Russia's "sham" referendums in occupied territories of Ukraine, the alliance's Secretary-General, Jens Stoltenberg, said on Friday."  Evidently this man has no power in NATO, like the military has, commented another website, Redact.  They felt that NATO should stop their assertions as that is pushing NATO and Russia into a nuclear war.

He spoke as Moscow launched the votes on the four regions joining Russia, in what Kyiv and its allies say is a ruse to annex the territories and escalate the seven-month-old war.

"Our answer, NATO's answer, is to step up support," Stoltenberg told CNN in an interview.

Blowing the Shofar is also something that is done on Rosh Hashana.  We'll want to hear the blasts from this ram's horn,  the oldest and most soulful of wind instruments, which has many meanings, and one is that it reminds us of the shofar heard on Mt. Sinai, when we accepted g-d's commandments for all time.  It represents the simple, primal outcry from the depth of the soul.  

Our Rosh Hashana is the day on which Jews believe that G-d completed the creation of this world.  Each Rosh Hashana, we proclaim the Kingship of G-d, and reaffirm our commitment to serve Him well.  

Just as on the original Rosh Hashana, G-d created the world for the 1st time, so each Rosh Hashana He reconsiders and re-evaluates the quality of our relationship with Him, and creates our world anew.

I held my breath when I heard that our PM of Israel, Yair Lapid, mentioned being for a 2-state solution just a few days ago, something I and others do not believe can take place at this time.  Palestinians are not ready to make peace, and who wants a neighbor that wants to destroy you?  Why make it easy for him?  But, I shouldn't have worried.  Abbas answered in his usual way with all the spit and hatred he usually throws about us, and made it impossible to even give a reply to his snarly statement.  

That said, the world is now in jeopardy with NATO and Russia.  Our first day of Rosh Hashana will truly be memorable.  I think it needs our prayers for peace. Putin needs to stop his escalation of troops into Ukraine again with a far bigger surge than they had at first and realize that Ukraine doesn't want to be a part of the Communist empire.  His idea of re-creating USSR is unrealistic.  

The world has had time to view the autopsy of Communism  and Ukraine doesn't want any part of it.  Russia cannot create their own United States using communism to hold them together.  After studying communism, one can see that it has only created mindless people who have lost their creativity and zeal for life and have become parasites on the government, expecting to be taken care of without doing much in return. The more they take, the more they want more, and they never reach the point of being satisfied.  Satisfaction comes from within, from our own achievements, and they aren't left with much to achieve in Communism.

Only Putin is trying to make himself happy by a form of achievement, but look what goal he's trying to achieve !  It's hopeless, and he can cause destruction of the whole world in his position, and by throwing his hands up in the air and realizing his faults,, taking us all with himself.  

Better yet that he realize his mistake  and resign on Monday.  Here's hoping that a miracle can happen and Russia can wake up and join the human race.  

Jens Stoltenberg (born 16 March 1959) is a Norwegian politician who has been serving as the 13th secretary general of NATO since 2014. A member of the Norwegian Labour Party, he previously served as the 34th prime minister of Norway from 2000 to 2001, and again from 2005 until 2013. University of Oslo (Cand.oecon.)

Earlier this month,, "NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg welcomed U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken to NATO Headquarters on Friday (9 September 2022) for a meeting of the North Atlantic Council to address Russia’s brutal war on Ukraine. Mr. Stoltenberg highlighted the unprecedented military, financial and humanitarian aid from NATO Allies to help Ukraine uphold its right to self-defense."

  The Secretary General said: “The United States is leading the way. And I welcome the billions of dollars of additional support announced this week.  Yesterday I participated in the US-led Ukraine Defense Contact Group in Ramstein. We all agreed on the importance of stepping up and sustaining our military support, so that Ukraine prevails as an independent sovereign state.” 

It looks like NATO cannot back down and allow Russia to have their way of being able to invade a successfully-run country, even though they used to belong to the USSR.  They don't want to belong.  Many have given up their lives to live in freedom.  Putin just doesn't care.

Libya's Relationship With Israel

Nadene Goldfoot                                                

Libya, whose name in Hebrew is ironically "Love-Luv", did not have love for Israel in its beginning or now. The Greek name is based on the ethnonym Libu (Ancient Greek: Λίβυες Líbues, Latin: Libyes). Later, the name appeared in the Hebrew language, written in the Bible  as Lehabim and Lubim, indicating the ethnic population and the geographic territory as well. In Hebrew, the B and V are the same letter.  To the Egyptians,  "it was the lands of the spirits."    It is mentioned in the Bible in connection with the Egyptian levies who fought against Judah, the southern part of Israel that separated from Israel when King Solomon died in 920 BCE.  Ramesses had fought the Libyans 2 times.  Pharaoh Shishak made an attack on Judah.  The Latin name Libya (from Greek Λιβύη, Libyē) referred to the region west of the Nile generally corresponding to the modern Maghreb. Its people were ancestors of the modern Berbers.   In the Hellenistic period, the Berbers were known as Libyans, a Greek term for the inhabitants of the Maghreb. Their lands were called "Libya" and extended from modern Morocco to the western borders of ancient Egypt. Modern Egypt contains the Siwa Oasis, which was part of ancient Libya. Siwi, a Berber language, is still spoken in the area.

By plane, the distance from Benghazi, Libya on the coast  to Jerusalem is 886.387 miles.  By land it is 1,258.505 miles.

We find it mentioned again in the Talmud because of its agricultural product.

Jews lived in the area of Libya from pre-Roman times from about 300 BCE.  The name, Libya, included Cyrenaica and Tripolitania.   Tripolitania was Ottoman Tripolitania, the coastal region of what is today Libya having been ruled by the Ottoman Empire from 1551 to 1911, as the Eyalet of Tripolitania.  "The Phoenicians were the first to establish trading posts in Libya. By the 5th century BC, the greatest of the Phoenician colonies, Carthage, had extended its hegemony across much of North Africa, where a distinctive civilization, known as Punic, came into being. 

In 630 BC, the Ancient Greeks colonized Eastern Libya and founded the city of Cyrene.  Within 200 years, four more important Greek cities were established in the area that became known as Cyrenaica.    In 525 BC the Persian army of Cambyses II overran Cyrenaica, which for the next two centuries remained under Persian or Egyptian rule. Alexander the Great, beloved by Jews,  was greeted by the Greeks when he entered Cyrenaica in 331 BC, and Eastern Libya again fell under the control of the Greeks, this time as part of the Ptolemaic Kingdom."  Cyrenaica was overcome by the Muslims in 647 CE as Mohammad died in 632 and Islam spread throughout the world. 
                                                                           
 "After a successful invasion of Tripoli by Habsburg Spain in 1510,  and its handover to the Knights of St. John, the Ottoman admiral Sinan Pasha took control of Libya in 1551.  The Siege of Tripoli in 1551 allowed the Ottomans to capture the city from the Knights of St. John, so it went from Christian to Muslim hands.  After the Italo-Turkish War (1911–1912), Italy simultaneously turned the three regions into colonies. From 1912 to 1927, the territory of Libya was known as Italian North Africa. From 1927 to 1934, the territory was split into two colonies, Italian Cyrenaica andItalian Tripolitania, run by Italian governors. Some 150,000 Italians settled in Libya, constituting roughly 20% of the total population." 
                                                                                   

Muammar Gadddafi, born June 7, 1942, was the youngest child
 born into a peasant family and grew up in the desert region of Sirte.
 He died October 20, 2011
shot in head and stomach at age 69. 

In skipping to 1951, when Libya became independent and had a king, "Muammar Gaddafi gained power in a 1969 coup and was "leader of the revolution" until his overthrow in 2011.  He was a madman.  However, "A gathering of more than 200 African kings and traditional rulers, meeting on 27 August 2008 in the Libyan town of Benghazi, conferred on Colonel Gaddafi the title "King of Kings of Africa". France was the first to recognize these rebels.  "Gaddafi was known for backing a number of leaders viewed as anathema to Westernization and political liberalism, including Ugandan President Idi Amin, Central African Emperor Jean-Bédel Bokassa, Ethiopian strongman Haile Mariam Mengistu,  Liberian President Charles Taylor,  and Yugoslav President Slobodan Milošević."

"When Col. Qaddafi came to power in 1969, all Jewish property was confiscated and all debts to Jews cancelled. In 1999, the synagogue in Tripoli was was renovated, however, it was not reopened.

The last Jew living in Libya, Esmeralda Meghnagi, died in February 2002. This marked the end of one of the world's oldest Jewish communities, which traced its origins to the 3rd century B.C.E."

And all the time he was cruel to the Jews, he knew he had a Jewish mother! " Nouri Mismari, an official in Libya who served Ghaddafi at his side,  portrayed his former boss as a sadistic, ruthless and power-hungry leader.   Gaddafi  would have anyone killed if they revealed this secret.  Mismari said that all who knew the truth about the leader’s mother were liquidated." Salih Bu Farwa, a loyal officer in the army,  had received information from the Libyan ambassador to Italy, Ammar Dhu, documenting Gaddafi’s mother’s Jewishness.  Dhu himself was subsequently assassinated in Italy, along with the embassy’s press secretary."  Salih's death was masked as a hunting accident.  "Nuri al-Samara told the daily Al-Hayat that Gaddafi’s mother was Jewish,  and the Israeli daily Maariv reported on its NRG news website.  At 18 she married a Muslim man and converted, according to reports."

" In 1942, the Italian Fascist authorities set up forced labor camps south of Tripoli for the Jews, including Giado (about 3,000 Jews) and Gharyan, Jeren, and Tigrinna. In Giado some 500 Jews died of weakness, hunger, and disease. In 1942, Jews who were not in the concentration camps were heavily restricted in 

their economic activity and all men between 18 and 45 years were drafted for forced labor. In August 1942, Jews from Tripolitania were interned in a concentration camp at Sidi Azaz. "A savage pogrom in Tripoli on November 5, 1945, killed more than 140 Jews and wounded hundreds more. Almost every synagogue was looted. In June 1948, rioters murdered another 12 Jews and destroyed 280 Jewish homes.."    In the three years after November 1945, more than 140 Jews were murdered, and hundreds more wounded, in a series of pogroms.  By 1948, about 38,000 Jews remained in the country. Upon Libya's independence in 1951, most of the Jewish community emigrated and went to Israel."   What Gaddafi had said about Israel was, "“Israel is a colonialist-imperialist phenomenon. There is no such thing as an Israeli people. Before 1948, world geography knew of no state such as Israel. Israel is the result of an invasion, of aggression.”

 Today Tripoli is the capital and has the largest population of 1,250,000.  The 2nd largest populated city is Benghazi with 700,000, the city in 2012 that the USA lost its ambassador and aides,  "US Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and Sean Smith; CIA contractors Tyrone S. Woods and Glen Doherty; and approx. 100 Libyan attackers.  4 Americans and 7 Libyans  were injured.     The population today is 6,202 million Arabs. "About 97% of the population in Libya are Muslims, most of whom belong to the Sunni branch.   Small numbers of Ibadi Muslims, Sufis and Ahmadis also live in the country."   Israel has 6 million Jews and 1.7 million Arabs.
                                                                             

End of 1967 War and accidentally gaining back Jerusalem, dancing the Hora in joy! 

The 6 Day War occurred in 1967 when all the neighboring countries attacked Israel.  Of course, Libyans had to demonstrate against the 6,000 Jews living in with them who had remained.  These Jews left shortly thereafter, as soon as possible with this reminder of hatred, so different from "Love.".

"Gaddafi also became a strong supporter of the Palestine Liberation Organization, which ultimately harmed Libya's relations with Egypt when in 1979 Egypt pursued a peace agreement with Israel. As Libya's relations with Egypt worsened, Gaddafi sought closer relations with the Soviet Union. Libya became the first country outside the Soviet bloc to receive the supersonic MiG-25 combat fighters, but Soviet-Libyan relations remained relatively distant. Gaddafi also sought to increase Libyan influence, especially in states with an Islamic population, by calling for the creation of a Saharan Islamic state and supporting anti-government forces in sub-Saharan Africa."  This was a very close plan similar to ISIS in creating a caliphate. " By the mid-1980s, he was widely regarded in the West as the principal financier of international terrorism. Reportedly, Gaddafi was a major financier of the “Black September Movement” which perpetrated the Munich massacre at the 1972 Summer Olympics." 
                                                                             

Lt. Col Yonatan Netanyahu
born: March 13, 1946, died:  July 4, 1976 at age 30 in Entebbe. 

          We can't forget Israel's Operation Entebbe when a jet plane left Tel Aviv's airport for Paris with a stop in Athens.  What happened was it was diverted to Benghazi, Libya by the highjackers, no doubt with Gaddafi's knowledge and blessing.  " The highjackers were two Palestinians from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – External Operations (PFLP-EO), and by two Germans, Wilfried Böse and Brigitte Kuhlmann, from the German Revolutionary Cells. The hijackers diverted the flight to Benghazi, Libya. There it was held on the ground for seven hours for refuelling.  During that time the hijackers released British-born Israeli citizen Patricia Martell who pretended to have a miscarriage.  The plane left Benghazi, and at 3:15 pm on the 28th, more than 24 hours after the flight's original departure, it arrived at Entebbe Airportin Uganda.  and then went on to the Entebbe, Uganda airport where the dictator, Idi Amin reigned, a man as nutty as Gaddafi.  " After moving all hostages from the aircraft to a disused airport building, the hijackers separated all Israelis and several non-Israeli Jews from the larger group and forced them into a separate room.   Over the following two days, 148 non-Israeli hostages were released and flown out to Paris.   94, mainly Israeli, passengers along with the 12-member Air France crew, remained as hostages and were threatened with death."  Mossad heard about it.  "The hijackers threatened to kill the hostages if their prisoner release demands were not met. This threat led to the planning of the rescue operation. These plans included preparation for armed resistance from Ugandan military troops.  The operation took place at night. Israeli transport planes carried 100 commandos over 2,500 miles (4,000 km) to Uganda for the rescue operation. The operation, which took a week of planning, lasted 90 minutes. 102 hostages were rescued. Five Israeli commandos were wounded and one, the unit commander, Lt. Col. Yonatan Netanyahu, was killed, brother of today's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.  

Now, the USA is striking sites from the air in Libya who are harboring and protecting ISIS.  The coastal city hit was Sirte.  Tripoli and Benghazi also lie on the coast as well.  "The U.S. airstrikes came at the request of the Libyan Government of National Accord, or GNA, to support forces trying to quash ISIS in its primary stronghold in Libya, Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook said. The GNA is Libya's U.N.-backed unity government."

Evidently NATO took out Gaddafi as found in Hillary's email.  "One of the over 3,000 new Hillary Clinton emails released by the State Department on New Year’s Eve, contain damning evidence of Western nations using NATO as a tool to topple Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi.

Ethiopian soldiers served in great numbers in the Egyptian armies. Libya and Lydia are an unfortunate substitution for the original terms, Phut and Lud, which are preserved in Ezekiel 27:10, where see Note. They are there mentioned as furnishing mercenaries to the Tyrian army; and it is known historically that they supplied them to a still greater extent to the Egyptian army."

The Palestine Union After One Week Cry "Attack!"

Nadene Goldfoot                                            

                Hamas's Al-Qassam Brigades Terrorists called on to fulfill their duty

Sir Arthur and Sir Lancelot, who lived in Camelot, loved each other.  All was well till Lancelot fell for Arthur's wife and ruined their friendship.   All is not going well with the Palestinian plans, either, with Fatah (old PLO) and Hamas, the old and the young terrorist groups who have united for the 2nd time to form a Palestinian government to my shock and awe with Obama's and Kerry's approval.

In the Palestinian Camelot, a united group who Fatah swears they have peaceful intentions and that all Obama and Kerry have to do is to watch them from afar, all that is  heard now  is rumbling of war.  Hamas has called on its armed wing of terrorists, the Al-Qassam Brigades,  who are in Judea and Samaria  and attack Israeli soldiers and civilians.  The reason is to help their men who are prisoners in Israel's jails for terrorism acts.  They think they can ease the plight of its prisoners by doing this.  Such convoluted thinking!
                                                                                 

                                                 Hamas terrorists

Hamas is asking Fatah people to take part in this attack.  They think that Jews must pay the price of being in  in "Palestine" with their blood until they are persuaded to change.  Right now the prisoners are on a hunger strike.  Israel is voting in the Knessett about force feeding them.  They are not about to let them die from hunger. (1) They're on a hunger strike because they haven't had a trial for terrorism.

 Israel says they're in jail for terrorism and can't risk a trial.  Israel says Palestinians suspected of security offences are sometimes jailed without trial to avoid any court proceedings that could expose sensitive intelligence information - a practice that has drawn international criticism."  So 300 are jailed for breaking and being caught in the act of security offenses.  Israel holds 5,000 in jail for acts of  terrorism.  Terrorists have been receiving salaries from their leaders.  The money must be coming from outside friends involved in the Muslim Brotherhood, etc.  

This was announced  after only one week after swearing in their unity government which was endorsed quickly by the USA and the EU.    Hussam Badran, Hamas spokesman,   wrote about this on his facebook page.

 The EU had the chutzpa to tell Israel that they should support the new Palestinian government in Ramallah. 

Have they ever told the Fatah and Hamas terrorists that they should recognize Israel or else?  No.  Jose Manuel Barroso of the EU said they should in the interest of a future peace deal.  That is putting the cart before the horse.  You don't make deals after you allow the crime to be committed.  Do you allow your teen-ager to stay out until 3am for a month without saying anything and then say, now you have to be in by 10pm and you'll get 3 meals a day?  He thinks that by becoming a legitimate and representative government they will be peaceful.  Has Iraq and Iran  always been peaceful?  No.  Is Syria peaceful?  No.  Has Lebanon been peaceful?  No, and they're the model for Palestine whereby a terror group, Hezbollah, is running the government.  Fatah and Hamas as a united front  haven't signed a peace agreements with Israel. They walked away from a peace deal.   Only Egypt and Jordan has.  Both Lebanon and Syria have missiles pointed at Israel.  Israel isn't about to help to create another state that is at war with them.

Israel is reacting sanely, but not the USA or the West. I know.  Everybody is crazy except me.  In this case, I'm right.  The USA and EU are taking the opposite viewpoint from Israel  saying that the new Palestinian ministers were not affiliated with Hamas. Yet that is a lie!   The PM of Palestine is Hamas's Ismael Haniyah, who is not about to recognize Israel,  and his group in Gaza is still shooting rockets at southern Israel.  They just shot their 108th rocket the other day. Palestine has already said their government will be on the Lebanon style.  Lebanon allows their main terror group, Hezbollah to run their government!   The USA and EU do sloppy research and then act on it.  Is this the way to run foreign affairs?

Mahmoud Abbas, President,  has said the new government recognizes Israel, accepts past agreements with Israel and renounces terrorism.   I believe he said that a few years back which is why they have been ruling in Judea-Samaria on their own.  However, Hamas has a charter that has not been torn up which states their goal is to destroy Israel.  It's just like the Muslim Brotherhood's charter.  They have not changed their tune. Israel cannot accept Fatah while Hamas is not in agreement.  If they can't get their act together, they really don't deserve their own state.  Israel's different parties had to come together to form Israel.

Now we come to the prisoners.  Israel does not kill their prisoners like their neighbors usually do.  They are jailed.  125 are held in detention and have been on a hunger strike they started 7 weeks ago for political notoriety. They have grown to 300 now.   Their prison conditions are great considering they aren't living in a hotel, but a jail.  I wish they were in a Turkish prison instead.  Then they'd have something to complain about.  I've heard about that place when one of my distant relatives, Gene LePere nee Hirshhorn,  was imprisoned while on her holiday for buying a little statue from a hawker.  She was thrown in the woman's prison for years; had to cook her own food in there, too.  Her story about that prison was turned into a TV special several years back from her book, Never Pass This Way Again,  about it.

The Palestinian Arabs had demonstrations planned and did so yesterday on the 9th in Ramallah.  On a positive note, the PA (those of Fatah) suppressed the demonstrations.  They even had to physically  attack Hamas members that are the MP, Hassan Youssef and Fathi Qarawi. What they did was to stop cars who were in a procession in Ramallah and they took away their posters and flags that they brought with them to incite the public.   The PA police stopped the journalist Musib Said and took away his press card and camera and demanded that he delete his photo.  Well, well, well.  Fatah just earned a few points from me for this.

Of course, this made Hamas as mad as a wet hen at Fatah, so a Mr. Rajoub said that now their reconciliation is at a risk.  They felt the actions of Fatah was a stab in the back of the prisoner movement.  They consider this as serious and unjustified violation.  They don't realize it's a violation of the peace promised by Fatah, so they're not about to back Fatah's motivation.

Another problem in their Camelot,  which is the ancient Judah, state  Jews formed apart from Israel when King Solomon died in 920 BCE, about 3,000 years ago, is that of money.  50,000 civil servants of Hamas living in Gaza have not been receiving their salaries this past 7 years from Fatah.  Khalil Al-Hayya, Hamas official, wants Fatah  to cover their salaries.  They had done this for PA civil servants who lived in Gaza, but these people have not actually worked for years in protest over Hamas's bloody takeover in 2007 when they kicked Fatah out of Gaza and took over!  My, they do rival us Jews in having so much chutzpah!

They owe lots of money to Israel as well for their electricity bill.  They have been receiving electricity but have stiffed Israel with the bill.  I think they'd better pay Israel first before they pay people who shoot rockets into Israel.
                                                                           
It's things like this that happen that enforce my belief in that there is a G-d.  Only something like this can happen to show the USA and EU that all is not hunky dory between Fatah and Hamas and that Palestine will be no peaceful Camelot.  Their own natures have to play a part in these events.  Israel has been saying this over and over and no one listens.  Hamas has to change before it can be trusted to be involved in the creation of a peaceful state.  Fatah will have their hands full to change the nature of their own people who they have been teaching to hate Jews.  Of course, they do handle things differently than Americans do.  They're pretty tough about stopping behaviors. like they did yesterday.   Still.....
