Palestinian terror in the last 48 hours
There is no end to Palestinian terrorism; Sunday saw another 25 terror attacks occurring at Abu Dis, Anun, El Be’er, Husan, Hizma, Givat Assaf, Gush Etzion, Kiryat Arba, Psagot, Beit El, Beit Ummar, and Hevron.
Two IDF soldiers were wounded by “rocks” at Qalandiya–and one of them remains in Hadassah Hospital at this hour.
The power of delusion
In what can only be described as doubly delusional, Knesset member Hilik Bar of the nearly defunct Herzog/Livni Party is continuing his “diplomatic” tour of the world touting his two-state solution plan.
Having already presented it at the European Union Parliament, the UK House of Commons, the UN in Geneva, and various state legislatures and universities in the U.S., Bar will be speaking on Wednesday to the Japanese Parliament in Tokyo.
The whole situation is laughable.
Not only is Bar’s plan farcical including such provisions as “privileged Palestinian access to holy sites, tourism, and universities”, but also no Israelis support it.
None. Well maybe some on the extreme “left” such as Herzog and Livni.
But Bar has no governmental support whatsoever.
What we have are delusional internationalists listening to a delusional Israeli talk about his delusional plans for peace.
NATO “allows” Israel to participate in an exercise
For the first time since 2010, Israel participated in a NATO exercise last week. Held in Montenegro, the military maneuvers involved Israel in a decidedly unmilitary way–as part of “search and rescue” drills.
And why was Israel suddenly “allowed” to participate?
Because Turkey (read “Erdogan”) permitted it.
Turkey. How nauseating.

The PLO Mouse Squeaks: Is Trump Trembling in Fear?
Whatever else you want to say, it appears that President-Elect Trump doesn’t respond well to criticism nor is he easily threatened or cowed. In fact, in either situation, the last year has shown that Trump’s reaction is to immediately and aggressively take the offensive. He is quite plainly a subscriber to the philosophy that “the best defense is a good offense.”
It is in this context that the PLO’s threats on Friday seem ill-serving at the least and reckless at best.
Why? Apparently because when levitra vardenafil generic punched, the particles lock together. The popularity of the root complexes can be seen in the case of this drug. cialis best buy Erik Dalton, Ph.D., Certified Advanced Rolfer, started the Freedom From Pain Institute and created Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques to share his passion for massage, Rolfing, viagra sales in india and manipulative osteopathy.

PLO Ambassador to the United Nations Riyad Mansour blasted Trump’s avowed intention to move the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
But more than merely castigating that intention, Mansour proceeded to threaten the U.S.:
“We will make life miserable for the U.S. in the United Nations.”
Really?
But Mansour wasn’t finished:
“If people attack us by moving the embassy to Jerusalem, which is a violation of Security Council resolutions, it is a violation of resolution 181 of the UN general assembly that was drafted by the U.S. … it means they are showing belligerency towards us … If they do that nobody should blame us for unleashing all of the weapons that we have in the UN to defend ourselves and we have a lot of weapons in the UN.”
Really?
What nonsense.
Where does it specify in UN Resolution 181 that the U.S. Embassy should not be in Jerusalem?
Nowhere.
By the way, Resolution 181 was immediately rejected by the Arab states and never approved by the Security Council–and without that approval, it remains today nothing more than a recommendation. The plan described in Resolution 181 was never implemented.
But that will never stop the PLO from grandstanding, threatening, and “unleashing” all of its “weapons.”
Actions by the PLO which will almost certainly have the result of Trump moving the Embassy even sooner than planned.
Is Trump sitting in Trump Tower in New York today trembling in fear over the PLO threats? I leave it to you, dear reader, to make the call.
