RE: Israel, The World Refuses The Truth

Whenever we say the full Hallel, which includes Psalms Chapter 115 תְּהִלִּים I think of those who refuse to admit that the Jewish People and the State of Israel are innocent victims of terror and discrimination.  King David said it so well:

א  לֹא לָנוּ יְהוָה, לֹא-לָנוּ:    כִּי-לְשִׁמְךָ, תֵּן כָּבוֹד--עַל-חַסְדְּךָ, עַל-אֲמִתֶּךָ.	1 Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto Thy name give glory, for Thy mercy, and for Thy truth's sake.
ב  לָמָּה, יֹאמְרוּ הַגּוֹיִם:    אַיֵּה-נָא, אֱלֹהֵיהֶם.	2 Wherefore should the nations say: 'Where is now their God?'
ג  וֵאלֹהֵינוּ בַשָּׁמָיִם--    כֹּל אֲשֶׁר-חָפֵץ עָשָׂה.	3 But our God is in the heavens; whatsoever pleased Him He hath done.
ד  עֲצַבֵּיהֶם, כֶּסֶף וְזָהָב;    מַעֲשֵׂה, יְדֵי אָדָם.	4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
ה  פֶּה-לָהֶם, וְלֹא יְדַבֵּרוּ;    עֵינַיִם לָהֶם, וְלֹא יִרְאוּ.	5 They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;
ו  אָזְנַיִם לָהֶם, וְלֹא יִשְׁמָעוּ;    אַף לָהֶם, וְלֹא יְרִיחוּן.	6 They have ears, but they hear not; noses have they, but they smell not;
ז  יְדֵיהֶם, וְלֹא יְמִישׁוּן--רַגְלֵיהֶם, וְלֹא יְהַלֵּכוּ;    לֹא-יֶהְגּוּ, בִּגְרוֹנָם.	7 They have hands, but they handle not; feet have they, but they walk not; neither speak they with their throat.
ח  כְּמוֹהֶם, יִהְיוּ עֹשֵׂיהֶם--    כֹּל אֲשֶׁר-בֹּטֵחַ בָּהֶם.	8 They that make them shall be like unto them; yea, every one that trusteth in them.
ט  יִשְׂרָאֵל, בְּטַח בַּיהוָה;    עֶזְרָם וּמָגִנָּם הוּא.	9 O Israel, trust thou in the LORD! He is their help and their shield!

After all these milenium when our enemies have attempted to destroy us and blame us for their sins and blame us for surviving and blame us for Gd's protection the miracles which have missiles land in empty fields and our smaller armies defeat larger, more numerous Arab armies etc.

Why can't people, Jews and non-Jews see the truth that we are the Chosen People? We are Gd's People. Gd does not want us destroyed. There are times when Gd wants us to be punished for our sins, and that is when we are exiled and suffer greatly.

So when all these countries and faux "do-gooder" NGOs condemn us for defending ourselves and effectively "ducking" enemy attacks, it's just plain antisemitism and hypocrisy, because when they feel under attack they certainly kill, maim and destroy more than we ever do.

We will only enjoy true peace when we take off the "mufflers" from the weapons -both military and hasbara/propaganda/information- we use for defense and unabashedly fight our enemies.

Dangerous Denials- Who's Responsible for Weapon Filled Ship?

In the early announcements from the Israeli Government, the crew's denials of complicity, guilt and knowledge of the cargo content on the weapon-filled ship were accepted.  I think that's an awful mistake by the Israeli Government.

No doubt that the crew was prepped to deny all and play innocent.  That way they have nothing to lose in shipping dangerous weapons to the Arab terrorists in Gaza, Syria, Sinai etc. And now everyone is claiming innocence and ignorance.

Both Iran and the terrorist groups which operate in Gaza denied on Wednesday that they had any connection to the Klos C, the ship that the IDF intercepted and which was carrying weapons for Gaza.
"We completely deny this report which is totally without foundation," AFP quoted an unnamed Iranian military official as having told state-run Iranian television's Arabic-language Al-Alam channel.
Hamas, the terror group which runs Gaza, also denied it had any connection to the ship.
“This was all made up in order to argue that we are terrorists and give justification for the continuation of the blockade,” Hamas spokesman Mushir Al-Masri told Channel 10 News.
“The whole world knows what the relationship between Iran and Hamas is today," he added.
Another Hamas spokesman, Taher Nunu, also denied that the group had any involvement with the ship, dismissing Israel’s claims as a “Zionist fabrication.”
"The Zionists’ story is a fabrication meant to justify the blockade on Gaza - as if there is a seaport and ships that enter it,” Nunu said. “Gaza is besieged and the ship was found in the Red Sea, thousands of miles away from Gaza. This is a lie of the Zionist occupation.”

How can that be?  It's obvious that they are all lying.  And legally the captain and ship's owner are responsible for what's on board. Let's put the pressure there in addition to prosecuting in international courts and the United Nations Iran, Gaza etc.

"The Israel Navy intercepted a ship early on Wednesday that Iran was using to smuggle dozens of long-range rockets to Gaza."

Nobody from its owner to top office holders to the lowliest crewmen should be immune from prosecution. Every single person associated with that ship must face their guilt and be tried and punished. If we don't do that we are just encouraging more such terrorist weapons filled cargo ships.

While Obama Fiddles Around "Negotiating," Bibi's Navy Captures A Terror Weapons Ship to Gaza

Yes, I know that it has been announced that the United States and Israel did work together on this. Or the USA helped with the tracking of the boat.

But we all know perfectly well that negotiations wouldn't have gotten those weapons away from the Arab terrorists. Terrorists just aren't the negotiating kind.  Negotiations are just too wimpy.

Here's from the report from the IDF:

IDF Intercepts Iranian Shipment of Missiles to Terrorist Organizations in GazaThe IDF intercepted an attempt to smuggle an Iranian shipment of advanced weaponry intended for  terrorist organizations operating in the Gaza Strip. The operation took place in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

Prime Minister Netanyahu said: "I would like to commend the IDF, the intelligence services of the State of Israel and – of course – the navy commanders and personnel who carried out a perfect operation to intercept a secret Iranian weapons ship. At a time when it is talking to the major powers, Iran smiles and says all sorts of nice things, the same Iran is sending deadly weapons to terrorist organizations and is doing so via a ramified network of secret operations in order to send rockets, missiles and other deadly weapons that will be used to harm innocent citizens. This is the true Iran and this state cannot possess nuclear weapons. We will continue to whatever is necessary in order to defend Israel's citizens."
