The Photo of the Day
What do you think you are looking at?
If you guessed “a drug capsule” you would be . . . incorrect.
This morning as a Palestinian prisoner was being released from Ramon Prison, guards found the above in his clothing.
Upon inspection, they discovered it was sperm.
From a prisoner still inside.
And you wonder how a terrorist’s wife continues to have children while he is in prison.
The News on the Israeli Street
The war in Judea and Samaria.
Shooting attack:
Palestinian terrorists opened fire on IDF troops at the Jalama Crossing near Jenin late last night. No Israelis were wounded; the terrorists escaped.
“Rock”, Molotov, and IED attacks:
Palestinian terrorists attacked at more than two dozen locations including just south of Nili Nazam Square, near a farm beside Jericho, in the vicinity of the Gush Etzion Junction, at several spots along Road 55, and at Singil.
Finally . . . well not exactly . . .
Israel informed the United Nations force in southern Lebanon (UNIFIL) that we plan to remove the Hezbollah outposts set up in Israel “in the coming days.”
In the coming days?
They should have been blasted off the face of the planet when they were first discovered.
A new record! . . .
181 days.
181 days and the “new” Israeli prime minister has not been invited to the White House to meet with he who thinks he is our vassal lord (aka President Biden).
This sets the all-time record for ignoring an Israeli prime minister.
By the way, Netanyahu’s office announced that he will soon be headed to China for an official visit. Apparently Xi Jinping doesn’t have the same qualms as Biden about issuing an invitation.
TODAY’S BLOG
“They really didn’t mean it.”
“Against the malicious and evil government, there is only one way – a large-scale civil rebellion.”
Former Knesset member Yair Golan, repeating yesterday what he has said repeatedly in the past.
“I am calling upon the citizens of Israel to prepare for the call to engage in civil riots, and when the call comes, to answer it.”
Former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak, also repeating (as reported) yesterday what he has said numerous times in the past.
Now that the Israeli police have decided to take the incitement of Golan and Barak seriously and open an investigation of the two, it fell to former Defense Minister (do you notice a lot of “formers”) Moshe Ya’alon to leap to their defense last night.
The always absurd and pompous Moshe Ya’alon speaking last night.
According to reportage, Ya’alon said “although the Golan and Barak called for “civil riots, they did not intend a violent action.”
Really?
Has anyone been watching the news lately? If you watched nothing but the anarchy in front of Justice Minister Levin’s home yesterday which featured attacks on police officers and burning tires in the street, you might think that Ya’alon is off his rocker.
Which he is.
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.
