**In an interview with the the Hamas Al-Risala newspaper, Israel’s resident terrorist, Israeli legislator Hanin Zoabi, called on PLO yesterday to stop all security coordination with Israel and to allow a full-fledged “popular uprising against Israel.”
**It was revealed yesterday that “The Platform of French NGOs”, a virulently anti-Israel consortium of more than 40 NGOs, has funded the current flotilla to Israel to the tune of about half a million Euros. Where does “The Platform of French NGOs” get its money? From the same French government that is now busily encouraging its bogus peace initiative.
That flotilla is scheduled to arrive at the maritime border of Gaza between July 1-4. It will then be intercepted by Israeli naval forces which will escort or tow the flotilla to the port here in Ashdod.
**Speaking of intercepting terrorists, Israeli authorities intercepted 7 Turkish IHH terrorists at Ben Gurion airport in Tel Aviv yesterday. They were interrogated at length, found to be headed toward Gaza to support the coming flotilla, and deported back to Turkey.
So much for recent reports of improving Israel-Turkish relations . . . the Israel representative in Turkey was summoned to the Turkish Foreign Minister’s office and raked over the coals for the deportations.
TODAY’S BLOG:
CENTCOM is the U.S. military command that covers the central area of the globe and consists of 20 countries–Afghanistan, Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan, and Yemen.
Your humble servant had to shake his head this morning at the following flourishing image that now appears on the CENTCOM website (click here to see for yourself).
The directive for U.S. troops in CENTCOM. Note the Arabic from the Koran on the left.
And what does the “Respect Ramadan” directive include? According to the website:
“One part of Ramadan is that those observing the holiday fast from dawn until sunset. When outside U.S. controlled areas, eating and drinking in public during daylight hours is against the law. Failure to obey could result in fines up to $685 or a sentence of up to two months in jail.”
In short, non-Muslim American soldiers are expected to observe Ramadan when they are off the base.

This directive, of course, is not surprising, but your humble servant’s head is shaking because he cannot help but think about how desperately the West tries to “respect Ramadan” while the Muslim world celebrates it in a distinctly different way:
*IS Muslims celebrated Ramadan yesterday by sneaking its militants into Kobani (Syria) and butchering 156 civilians in a house by house massacre which focused mostly on elderly women and children.
*Sunni Muslims celebrated Ramadan yesterday by blowing more than 25 worshipers up a Shi’ite Mosque in Kuwait City.
*Somali Muslims celebrated Ramadan yesterday in Leego, Somalia by carrying out a suicide bombing and machine gun attack on an African Union base that resulted in more than 30 dead.
*IS Muslims celebrated Ramadan again yesterday in Syria by executing 23 civilian men, women, and children in Bakha Botan, Syria.
*Chinese Muslims celebrated Ramadan yesterday by attacking a police checkpoint in Tahtakoruk, China and knifing to death 3 policemen.
*IS in France celebrated Ramadan yesterday by sending a Muslim to try to blow up a gas plant and, in process, to behead a delivery man who happened to be on the premises.
*Tunisian Muslims celebrated Ramadan yesterday by shooting to death 37 tourists sunning themselves on the beach at two Tunisian hotels in Sousse.
And this litany barely scratches the surface. There were other “celebrations” of Ramadan in Nigeria, Iraq, Afghanistan.
At least Israel has gone one day without a Ramadan murderous “celebration”, but who knows what tomorrow will bring?
A student from Malawi, who had worked with an Israeli health volunteer in his country battling AIDS, came up to us as we walked down the street in the UC-Davis Picnic Day Parade and wanted to carry the Israeli flag.
