The Maniacal Quote of the Day
“We had a life-threatening situation there. It really surprised me. If they hit one of my soldiers with [concrete] blocks, they could kill our soldier. Our mission was a success. The terrorists left as safely as possible.”
Lt. Col. Matti Shevach, as quoted in an interview in The Voice of Israel.
Here we have an IDF battalion commander terming a dangerous, life-threatening, mission a success because the terrorists “left safely.”
Unbelievable.
How low the IDF command structure has fallen.
The News on the Israeli Street

Remember those six Palestinian terrorists who escaped from the Gilboa Prison? . . .
Today, it was announced that Israel Northern District Attorney will not charge the escapees with any “security offenses”. Instead they will merely be charged with “escaping from legal custody.”
Just plain unbelievable.

*Elsewhere, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards announced that one of its Cobra helicopters accidentally opened fire on Revolutionary Guards, killing three and wounding an unknown number.
Good news . . . sort of . . . on the Egyptian front . . .
Believe it or not, in all the years of the “peace” with Egypt, no commercial Egyptian airplane had ever landed at Ben Gurion Airport until today.
In fact, the workers at Ben Gurion hailed the opening of the Cairo-Tel Aviv line with festive waterjets for the incoming EgyptAir plane.
Only to find out that the Egyptians–embarrassed that they are doing business with Israel–had hastily created an EgyptAir subsidiary called Air Sinai–and painted that name on the airplane.
TODAY’S BLOG
“I want to be the new Rabin.”
So says our absurd “Defense” Minister Benny Gantz.
Gantz apparently made the remark in the midst of telling PLO Chairman Abu Mazen (aka Mahmoud Abbas) last month that he “believes in a two-state solution.”
Over the years, your humble servant has had little good to say about former PM Rabin mainly because of the Rabin-Peres Oslo Accords that became such a disaster for Israel and resulted ultimately in 169 Palestinian suicide bombers blowing more than 1100 Israeli men, women, and children to pieces.
This is what Gantz aspires to?
Has he learned nothing from history? from Oslo?
Obviously not.
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.
