A Few Fast Draws

A Few Fast Draws

This post is also available in: heעברית (Hebrew)

Several draws this time, due to several issues.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu flew 11 hours to New-York and will give a speech tomorrow at the UN general assembly. A waste of time and money. Other than the Israeli delegation members who will watch as though listening, every other participant in the great hall will yawn even if Bibi the “wiz” is to pull out some new gimmick. Everyone is tired of listening to Israel complaining.

The deal with Iran is history. The situation in Syria is completely under Moscow’s control and no one cares about the Palestinian situation anymore. Everyone has grown tired with Israel after too much talk and too little action.

Rockets are being launched yet again from Gaza. The air force has yet again bombed some abandoned Hamas buildings. Great. Is this deterrence? Is this how to regain the trust of the residents of the south of Israel?

When will somebody realize that hundreds of thousands of citizens cannot live under this stupidly-called “drizzle” of rockets?

But the Prime Minister is in New-York and things are getting worse here by the day.

The pictures of Jews making their way to the Western Wall and being attacked in the old city without anyone stepping in are truly symbolic.

After all this talk of actions to be taken in Jerusalem, nothing is being done. Actually, let me correct myself: The police brought to Temple Mount a “sophisticated system” – a portable barrier against thrown stones.

Somebody has truly lost their mind. Somebody doesn’t realize we are in the midst of an Intifada. Everybody is sleeping on the job. Jews are no longer safe anywhere – not in the south of the country and not in Jerusalem. This all makes the Prime Minister’s declarations on “aggressive measures” look like another bad joke in a long series of such jokes.

Europe, who kept criticizing Israel for surrounding itself with fences, is now acquiring fences by the ton. And it is being done too late. Europe is becoming Muslim and nothing will change that.

The problem isn’t with real refugees, whose problems are to be solved with huge budgets, but with the radicals who entered several countries in the continent and are no longer afraid to call for a “Muslim Europe”. And this is just the beginning.

After thwarting Gal Hirsch’s appointment as Chief of Police, anonymous objections by “police officials” were heard yesterday against what they call “ties between the new candidate and rabbis”, which, according to them, could prove difficult in interrogating religious suspects.

How much evil can there be in this country? How low can those who don’t understand why someone from inside the police hasn’t been appointed go? I guess all the way down.

There are many reasons why minister Gilad Erdan has courageously decided appointing someone from outside the force. These wicked claims against the new candidate prove once again that he was  right in not giving in to the campaign against him.
