Vandals spit on Jewish sovereignty
News item:
One of the Six-Day War’s most famous landmarks, Ammunition Hill, was vandalized early Monday morning. This is the fourth related incident in less than a week, just days before Israel marks its Memorial Day for Fallen Soldiers and Victims of Terrorism.
According to Army Radio, the vandals spray-painted anti-Israel slogans, including “Günter Grass was right,” [referring to the German Nobel laureate’s recently published poem in which the former SS officer said Israel was a danger to world peace] and “Zionism — the root of all evil” as well as “lame Zionists.”
Here is an excerpt from a description of the battle of Ammunition Hill by Yaakov Lozowick:
Between 1949 and 1967, while Jerusalem was divided between Israel and Jordan, there was an Israeli enclave about a mile to the east of the border, in the Jordanian part of town. This was Mount Scopus, with the campus of the Hebrew university and Haddassh hospital. There was an agreement whereby every two weeks 200 Israelis would cross Jordanian territory to the enclave, and sit there until the next group replaced them two weeks later.
Throughout the whole period everyone knew that sooner or later the war would resume, and that when that happened Israel would try to reconnect the mountain with the city. To prevent this the Jordanians built a series of fortifications in that mile, and its centerpiece was Ammunition Hill, an apt name borrowed from the days after the British conquered the city in 1917 and General Allenby stored his army’s ammunition there…
On the night between June 5th and 6th 1967 the paratroopers, backed by a few tanks, made their attack, directly on the Jordanian fortifications. The section of the battle on Ammunition Hill raged from about 2am to 5:30, early next morning. It was face to face combat, between the best forces each side had. 71 Jordanians were killed, and 35 Israelis: most of the defenders died, as did a quarter of the attackers.
A story I heard not long afterward told that in the early morning the IDF troops gathered the fallen Jordanians into a pit and covered it, with a makeshift sign that read “Here lie 71 brave Jordanian soldiers”.
A few hours later the paratroopers were at the Kotel.
The perpetrators of the vandalism could have been anti-Zionist Haredim, Arabs or left-wing extremists. Judging by the content of the literate Hebrew graffiti, my guess is that in this case they are the former.
For example, the message in the photo above reads: “Wretched Zionists, whom do you dominate? The miserable Arabs? Zionism — mother of sin!”
It is simply impossible for me to imagine what would motivate Israeli Jews to desecrate a monument to men who died defending the Jewish state that protects and, in many cases, feeds them.
I would like to see the vandals, who spit on Jewish sovereignty, banished to a place where it doesn’t exist. They have made their statement, let them live by it.

Anti-Israel, More Than “pro-Palestinian”
Considering that so many ordinary people around the world look for any excuse to condemn Israel, I don’t see these anti-Israel activists to be primarily “pro-Palestinian.” They’d jump at any excuse to condemn Israel; that’s their real agenda.
Israel Police completed preparations over the weekend in anticipation of the pro-Palestinian demonstration expected Sunday at Ben-Gurion International Airport, in which activists – mainly from Europe and the U.S. – were set to arrive in Israel and try to reach Judea and Samaria to show solidarity with the Palestinians. Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said hundreds of protesters were expected to land at the airport in the course of the day, as part of a campaign called “Welcome to Palestine.” (complete article from Israel Hayom)
They’re certainly not humanitarians or their demonstrations would be pro-Israel and anti a wide variety of countries like Syria, Iran, North Korea, Egypt and more. No matter what we do here in Israel, it’s perceived by the world as evil. Maybe there’s something wrong in their “glasses.”
As in the case of the famous “flotilla” to Gaza, the “flightilla” to the West Bank purports to have no other purpose than to provide “humanitarian aid” to “poor Palestinians under a big bad Israeli blockade.” (That there is no blockade on the West Bank does not matter to these well-wishers any more than the fact that Israel never stopped the flow of necessary goods and services into Gaza. But then, the real aim of such campaigns is to make Israel look evil.) by Ruthie Blum in Israel Hayom
Israel is the only country that is consistently pro-peace. Israel unfortunately bends over backwards in dangerous contortions trying to achieve peace with its Arab enemies.
There’s a big problem here, since the Arabs don’t want peace. They just want us destroyed, dead and gone. That’s their dream, their aim and goal. It’s dangerous for us to ignore it.
Palestinian parents should teach their children that it is their role or destiny to destroy Israel, according to a cartoon in the official PA daily.Text in book: “Palestine”Mother’s words: “This is your bride…When you grow up you will know the dowry.” In the cartoon, a mother is showing her son a book with a map that includes all of Israel and the PA areas. The text in the book defines the map as “Palestine.” The mother tells her son: “This is your bride… when you grow up you will know the dowry.”
[Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, March 31, 2012]
The message of the PA daily is that parents either are educating their children or should be educating their children to see their obligation to replace all of Israel with a state of “Palestine.” The dowry - the cost of liberating Palestine - is yet to be learned. (from PMW, Palestine Media Watch)
Israeli politicians, diplomats, media and academics must stop their dangerous habit of announcing “peace plans,” which are based on no more than wishful thinking. Newly elected Kadima leader, Shaul Mofaz’s “peace” plan is no more realistic than all of the Peres and other Leftist Appease aka Peace sic Now proposals/demands on Israel. You can’t make peace with enemies who want to destroy you by thinking that maybe they’ll agree if… It’s no more than diplomatic masturbation. Yes, I’ve said it. Just like you need two people, one of each sex to create a child, you can’t make peace by “playing with yourself.” All of these international “pro-Palestinian” groups should just get out of the closet and admit the truth that they just don’t want a State of Israel to exist. And we in Israel must fight them on all fronts, because they are very dangerous enemies!
