A doctor would generic professional viagra prescribe you an anti-impotency medicine and there could be no denying to this fact.

Peanuts were viagra in italy once often banned as a food for males by the Church during the middle ages.

***Palestinian terror today . . .

It has been a relatively quiet Monday so far with only 32 terror attacks reported since 7 am this morning.

The focus of terrorists today has been “rocks” and Molotov firebombs in such places as Gush Etzion, Psagot, south Hebron, Ofer, Hizma, Mt. Hebron, Beit El, Talmonim, Rachel’s Tomb, Al Fawwar, Bethany, Road 443, and Givat Ze’ev, and, and, and . . .

MADA reports that Israelis have been wounded in such locations as the Bar Ilan intersection in Jerusalem, in the Casbah in Hebron, and at the checkpoint at West Benjamin.

***The Transparency Law continued (see yesterday’s blog).

In response to Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked proposing the new NGO Transparency Law, we now have progressive, human rights champion, Hebrew University political science professor, Dr. Ofer Cassif posting the following words regarding her on Facebook yesterday:

“This neo-Nazi scum is not only partially responsible for the fascisization of Israel, but is also an indirect partner to genocide in Africa and crimes against humanity. The dictionary has lost all words which could be used to describe this filth.”

And all this venom because Shaked wants NGOs operating in Israel to reveal the foreign sources of their income.

Why isn’t Shin Bet investigating Cassif for incitement?

***Or how about Tzipi Livni  . . .

All Livni did today was give ammunition to Brazil in its outrageous decision to not recognize Israel’s new Ambassador to Brazil, Danny Dayan:

“The delay in the appointment of Danny Dayan ambassador to Brazil is not personal harassment–but opposition to Israel’s policy on settlements.”

And what policy is that one may ask? Israel has virtually frozen all construction in Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria for the last six years.

As for Brazil’s motivations, it recognized a Palestinian state on 1949 Armistice Lines years ago and has been one of Israel’s harshest critics in every conceivable venue. We in southern Israel will never forget how Brazil ruthlessly attacked Israel during last year’s war with Hamas.

Brazil can go jump.

TODAY’S BLOG:

After 29 days of “interrogations”, Israel’s vaunted Shin Bet has finally decided to indict one of the Duma teenaged Jewish detainees– who have been imprisoned because of “suspicion” that they participated in the firebombing of a house in Duma that resulted in the deaths of three members of a Palestinian family.

But guess what? The teenager is not being indicted for the Duma case–he is being indicted for his involvement in an altercation between himself and a group of Bedouins two years ago–an altercation in which he claims he acted in self-defense.

Can you believe this? 29 days of  harsh interrogations, 29 days of no legal representation, 29 days of no family access, 29 days of denial of all basic civil rights, and all Shin Bet can come up with to charge someone with is a highly problematical case from two years ago.

This is not to say that other indictments will not be forthcoming for Duma. Undoubtedly they will–perhaps even this week–but will any rational person take them seriously when they are finally filed? Of course not.

We all now know that whatever information Shin Bet has gotten is nothing but coerced confessions–which almost certainly will not stand up in anything other than a kangaroo court.

But what is worse, one begins to wonder if the involvement of Shin Bet in the Duma case is far darker than its attempt to extract confessions from a group of teenagers. 

Take the now infamous wedding video for example.

Each day that passes confirms what your humble servant speculated a week ago. Just today, it has been revealed that a Shin Bet operative communicated with the father of the groom before the wedding about the wedding–and suggested that Shin Bet undercover operatives would be at the wedding.

The latter obviously informs us where the video came from, but also begs the questions of:

“Did Shin Bet operatives encourage the violent demonstration at the wedding?”

“Did Shin Bet operatives not intervene to break up the events because they were participating in the events?”

Before you accuse your humble servant of jumping off the deep end, he asks you to remember the strange facts surrounding the Rabin assassination. Of how a Shin Bet operative set up a fake right-wing group “Eyal” which encouraged its members to kill the Israeli Prime Minister–and that Yigal Amir (may he forever rot in prison) was encouraged to do so.

Think about that for a while. Your humble servant is about as far away from being a conspiracy theorist as possible, but are there dots to be connected between Shin Bet methodology regarding Duma, the wedding, and Rabin?
