The Sad Photo of the Day
Supporters and members of the Goldin family were out at Erez Crossing to block workers from Gaza entering Israel (photo Zindel).
Why is this sad? It is sad because the government has done nothing over the last 7 years to retrieve the bodies (or body parts) of these soldiers from Hamas terrorists. And they most certainly will do nothing now.

Playing Lapid and Gantz For The Morons They Are
Do you remember back a few months ago how our craven government issued numerous concessions to the Palestinians in return for the PLO not proposing prosecution of Israelis in the International Criminal Court in The Hague?
Yesterday, “the representative of the European Union to the Palestinian Authority, Son von Burgsdorf, called on the International Court of Justice in The Hague to investigate the IDF on suspicion of committing war crimes.”
Do you think for a moment, dear reader, that von Burgsdorf’s call was not made with the explicit encouragement and knowledge of Mahmoud Abbas and the PLO?
This was the plan all along.
Play Lapid and Gantz for the morons they are.
