Affluence is not panacea
2009-09-14 09:25:00 Several groups recently voiced an interest in developing Palestine economically. Jewish right-wingers imagine they can hold onto the territories by postponing the solution, and talk about the Palestinian economy rather than the state. Jewish centrists of Netanyahu?s ilk feel American pressure and know they must do something about the Palestinians, yet they are unable to ...

From Dresden to Gaza City
2009-08-06 09:14:00 Israel lost the war with the Palestinians when she switched from military to the police realm. In the military mode, you carpet-bomb your enemies, you burn them with incendiary bombs, you thrash their infrastructure. In short, you hate them en masse and act on that hate. In the police mode, you seek out hostile elements ...

British Subject in Samaria Refuses to Host the Queen
2009-04-26 14:28:00 A British Royal Subject Living in Samaria Tells the Queen that She Is Not Welcome while Her Government Tries to Choke the Jews Economically while Denying Jewish Human and National RightsThe British position is in fact Racist. It continues the British policy during the Mandate period in Israel and during the Holocaust to keep Jews out of Judea-Samaria and to allow/encourage the Arabs to drive out the Jews who were already there, especially as expressed in the 1939 White Paper policy. Of course, British policy encouraged Arabs to kill Jews in Baghdad [1941] and during the War of Independence [1947-1949], sending British troops to fight on the side of the Arabs. The official British information policy was to suppress news of the Holocaust as it was happening and could have been alleviated.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Your Majesty, You're Not WelcomeBy edict of a subject of Her Britannic Majesty, Queen Elizabeth IIItem: The British Embassy in Tel Aviv has decided to boycott Israelicomp...

Gush Katif revisited
2009-02-15 08:46:00 Looking at the recent war in Gaza, one wonders whether disengagement was a right thing to do. The answer is, you can win every battle but lose the war. The disengagement was tactically sensible. From 2001 to 2005, Hamas fired more than 5,000 rockets and shells at Gush Katif. Its former residents who nostalgically extol their ...

Proportionality is irrelevant
2009-01-22 08:24:00 Israel?s long-term inaction in face of terrorist attacks defies the criterion of proportionality and restoration of status quo ante bellum: the situation immediately before Israeli attack on Gaza is still unacceptable for Israel. During the days before the operation, Israel has been indeed struck with dozens of projectiles ? but there were no casualties. Inflicting ...

Our liberty against the Arabs?
2009-01-18 08:43:00 The main problem with disengagement from Gaza was taking away the Israeli secret services? liberty to operate there. The IDF, including Border Police, and Shabak keep tremendous hold on the Palestinian militants in the West Bank, and that was also the case in Gaza. Even the highest-ranking Palestinian officials sometimes squeak when admonished by special ...

Searching for exit from Gaza
2008-12-30 19:20:00 Israel loses momentum and the best truce deal. After the initial successful attack on Gaza, subsequent operations will be less spectacular and more costly in Jewish lives. In the Gaza operation, brilliant intelligence and tactics confronted strategic ineptitude. In order to reduce civilian losses, IDF warned Gazans to flee and bombed empty shacks, or destroyed ...

Exodus. Now from Gaza.
2008-10-05 10:28:00 The thing that worries me most about Palestinians is their similarity to early Zionists. Palestinian terrorists are patriotic, yet not a part of their traditional communities. Like left-wing Zionists, they consciously develop a ?new Palestinian? outlook and mentality: no longer a suffering peasant whose highest praise is endurance in the face of oppression, the terrorists ...

Stop watering Gaza
2008-08-26 21:31:00 The international law on tendering to the occupied populations? needs is questionable. Even in the recent history, the Allies didn?t supply water in the occupied German territories, but let Germans do the job. In the moral theory of war, an occupying power should not repress or murder civilians, but otherwise is not obligated to assist ...

Do something about Gaza
2008-07-22 18:21:00 Israel employs a classic strategy against Gaza. Beaufre?s third option, it was practiced successfully by the USSR: military, economic, and diplomatic pressure combined with a threat of force. Why doesn?t it work here? Very simply, because Israel actually employs none of the above. The efforts at isolating Hamas diplomatically failed. The terrorist group enjoys formal relations ...

Destroy Gaza legally
2008-07-17 15:46:00 The legal theory of war allows Israel a free hand in Gaza. Civilians are safe from attack if they abide by the terms of surrender; otherwise, the attacker is only obliged to avoid the tactically unnecessary harm to civilians. If a territory has originally surrendered but later guerillas launched a full-scale offensive, the surrender no ...

Anti-Jewish Racists Deny the Jewish Right to Live in Judea-Samaria
2008-06-18 05:14:00 It seems that the Palestinian Authority is the tail that wags the Western dog, making its overly generous Western benefactors jump through the hoops of "politically correct" Judeophobia and anti-Jewish racism, particularly, but not only, on the "settlement" issue. Do Jews have the right to live in Judea-Samaria, the heart of the ancient Land of Israel? The palestinian authority denies this right. Its brothers in the Arab League delightedly pick up the relay baton to beat the Jews with, and major Western powers fall in line. Saudi Arabia shares the denial of Jewish rights with other Arab League members and has great influence over American policy as well. Saudi money also influences other Arab states. Indeed, one report claims that a proposed UN Security Council resolution against Israeli "settlements" actually originated with the Saudis, not the palestinian authority.Meanwhile, Condoleezza Rice has accepted the Arab claims and joined in the hate chorus against Israel. She does not w...

End Gaza
2008-04-06 18:15:00 Gaza's political difference from the West Bank is telling: Palestinian national expression developed in the West Bank, but not in Gaza. The main factor behind that difference is the neighboring countries' attitude: Jordan fueled the West Bank Palestinian nationalism in the hope of sublimating the energies of its own Palestinians away from fighting the monarchy, ...

Samaria
2008-04-03 05:11:00 Two teenage girls run a prostitution ‘business’ together. One makes the appointments and the other does the job. But when she gets into a fatal accident, the other one goes from making the appointments to doing the actual job. Then, one day, her father finds out and he’s out for revenge.
Samaria
2007-12-30 20:08:00 Kim Ki-Duk's Samaria (Samaritan Girl) is both visually and narratively stunning. Making his characters observe each other, like one of his latest efforts Bin-Jip, Samaria is a film of beautiful silence, with not much dialogue, but at the same time saying so much through other means. Combining silence with violence and showing two young girls sharing a deep friendship in which they would do anything for each other, Samaria is heartbreaking. It's a film every film buff will appreciate. Ki-Duk once again puts his characters central, observing the ways they deal with secrets and trying to make peace with the way faith seems to have come into their lives and the lives of loved once, not always having the outcome our destiny they hoped for. Ki-Duk's characters really evolve, showing how events come to effect them and how they end up dealing with these events and eventually what is left of them after trying to cope. Both girls are potrayed very well, with Ji-Min kwak having the biggest ...
Down with Gaza
2007-12-30 01:13:00 What can we do about Gaza? The peace process tales are all very fine, but realistically there could be no peace there. The most benevolent Jewish policies would make 99% of Gazans content with Israel; still, fifteen thousand discontent radicals can carry out suicide operations in Israel ad nauseum. Near absence of terrorist infiltrations from ...

Independence means obligations
2007-11-25 11:07:00 Why the Palestinian Arabs don?t proclaim a state? Nominally, they declared independence twenty years ago at the PLO meeting in Algeria, but have never followed it through with real state-building. Palestinians have all the pre-requisites for a de facto state: foreign exchange through transfers and aid, decent by the Arab standards economy, established political parties, ...

End the Arab occupation of the West Bank
2007-11-22 09:27:00 In 2004, Israel assassinated Hamas leader Ahmed Yasin. All members of the UN Security Council except America approved a resolution condemning Israeli raid. In 2005, police of Saudi Arabia, a major US ally and weapons buyer, arrested forty Christians in a private house in Riyadh for non-Islamic worship. The Saudi action caused no official condemnation. ...

Rosamaria Murtinho & Bossa Jazz Trio (1966) (single)
2007-08-06 02:03:00 Hello, Good Evening! Loronixers are giving a nice response to last weekend posts with singles and EPs, that's why I decided to release some others this Sunday, starting with this one, a single, featuring Rosamaria Murtinho and Bossa Jazz Trio. The friends from Brazil will be taken by surprise with this tiny record, since Rosamaria Murtinho is most associated as an actress, not as a Bossa Nova singer, great singer by the way. The single features two songs, 01 - Tristeza, arranged by Maestro Francisco de Moraes and 02 - Perdao arranged by Francisco de Moraes and Bossa Jazz Trio. As a little record, no Rapidshare this time, direct link to the music. Tracks include:01 - Tristeza02 - PerdaoThis is Rosamaria Murtinho & Bossa Jazz Trio (1966), for Fermata, kindly sent by Arara Azul (perhaps I'm wrong, please notify me!), at Loronix, here (no Rapidshare).Hope uEnjoy!

Melanie Phillips Understands that Judea-Samaria Are Not "occupied"
2007-05-24 18:17:00 Melanie Phillips has written three hard-hitting posts on her blog about the international legal status of Judea-Samaria and of the Land of Israel as a whole. This must be the first time in a long time that any mainstream journalist in the United Kingdom has been able to exercise historical memory going back to the true legal status of the Land of Israel established in 1920. It takes a great deal of honesty and integrity to overcome the legacy of BBC & the Guardian & the Independent's slander of Israel that has been going on for so many years, overcoming the legacy of Christopher Mayhew and Robert Fisk and Tom Paulin and so many other scribblers. Here are her three posts: here & here & here.The fact that the League of Nations recognized the Jewish National Home principle, embodied in the Mandate to the United Kingdom to rule the Land of Israel, has been conveniently forgotten by Israel's enemies, not only among the Arabs but in the West. The mainstream media go along with the i...

The Woman of Samaria
2007-05-02 10:31:00 William Dyce (1806 - 1864)The Woman of Samaria Oil on panel342mm by 484mmBirmingham Museum and Art Gallery Seated by a well in Samaria, Jesus talks with a local woman.In itself this represents a reconciliation between the Jews and the Samaritans, who were long-term enemies.The woman seeks water to drink, Jesus speaks of the flowing water as a sign on eternal life from God.William Dyce (September 19, 1806, Aberdeen, Scotland?February 14, 1864, London) was a distinguished nineteenth century British artist, one of the pre-Raphaelites.As a painter, he preferred to paint religious subjects.He was particularly impressed by Pinturicchio?s frescoes in the Piccolomini Library in Siena, as well as by the works of Perugino.Today, he is perhaps best known for his decoration of the Queen's Robing Room of the then newly completed Palace of Westminster (1847).But his accomplishemts were not restricted to art.Artrenewal provides a full biography of all his accomplishments
Hamas has missiles stored in Samaria
2006-12-01 22:44:06 If you thought that the Hamas only had rockets stored in Gaza, think again:As Hamas wins a ceasefire from Prime Minister Ehud Olmert despite the group?s continued firing of Kassam missiles, the Fatah group has announced it also has missiles, in Samaria.Fatah?s Al-Aksa Brigade displayed the new missiles, which the group calls Jundalla (meaning Allah?s soldiers), at a press conference held for the foreign wire services Tuesday.Rockets in Judea and Samaria would potentially put cities in the coastal plain, Israel?s International Airport, as well as Jerusalem, all within striking range (illustrative photo above).The Fatah terrorists, located in Palestinian Authority-assigned Shechem (Nablus), said that they were prepared to begin firing the rockets at Israeli towns.At the press conference, to which Arab correspondents working for Associated Press, Reuters and Agence France Presse were invited, twenty members of the terrorist group brandished at least four of the new rockets.The five-foo...
