If you watch any video on Israel, Gaza, and the truth about the blockade, make it this one. Short, clever, factual, and effective. The truth the media doesn’t want you to see in a concise nutshell.

You’ve probably seen the many online videos of Fritz Grobe and Stephen Voltz using Mentos and Coke to make geysers. Well, now, the two have come up with a vehicle of sorts that uses the same, um, “technology” to fuel it. Since the contraption only traveled 220 feet (and looked like it had the momentum of that rock thing they move in the “sport” of curling) and since it looks like it used a lot of Coke Zero and hundreds of Mentos for such a short ride, I don’t think it’ll put the Saudis, the other Gulf State sheiks, and Mr. Ahmadinejad (and friend, Chavez) outta biz anytime soon. But, hey, it’s a start . . . and seemingly more of a start than we’ve seen from most since 9/11. In case you wondered, the video is directed by Rob Cohen, director of “The Fast & the Furious” movie.

Thanks to the many readers (and The JIDF) who sent me this video below of high schooler in Los Angeles braving the barbarians inside our gate. Watch the whole thing and the HAMAS supporters answers at the end, which are so typical (yet so ignored by the ever myopic “make peace with Palestinians” crowd). Note that this brave teenage kid could not do this in Dearbornistan. He’d be asked to leave by the police, as they did in previous year’s demonstrations, when lone protestors brought Israeli flags. Or his life would be threatened and he’d be in danger, as happened to me, last year, when I attended a pro-HAMAS rally in Detroit to film it and ask questions.
The stupid reporters ask why he’s the only pro-Israel person there (and later, there are a few more). That’s because the Jews are working, not lying and using fraud to sit around and collect Medicaid, food stamps, Bridge cards, WIC, AFDC, etc., the way many of the Muslims–who own all cash businesses and defraud the government–do it. And because most of the Jewish establishment in America is busy kissing Muslim ass and ostracizing brave, proud Jews like that kid and calling them “extremists” for actually daring to stand up for Israel in a competent way. Kudos to this kid. Kol HaKavod [All the Honor] to him. And a little advice: get a gun permit.

It’s interesting that Turkey sponsored the HAMAS Gaza flotilla and that its officials and riotous barbarian “civilians” (involves the word civil, so needs to be in quotation marks) are all “upset” over Israel’s blockade to Gaza. In fact, Yisrael Medad–on his site, My Right Word–points out that, in fact, Turkey is very much in favor of blockades . . . when it involves Turkey “defending itself” and attacking various ethnicities it hates, but not when Jews try to defend themselves.
Turkey’s “Opposition” to Blockade of HAMAS is Sheer Hypocrisy, Phony
(And, as we all know, it’s not a blockade of food or supplies, which it continues to allow into Gaza. It’s a blockade of arms to further weaponize HAMAS terrorists against Israel and others.)
As Medad points out, Turkey joined or carried out blockades against Armenians, against Kurds, etc. And, as we all know, the Turks have repeatedly fomented violence against Kurds (their fellow Muslims) and Armenians (remember, the Armenian Holocaust?). For example, Medad notes Turkey’s
sixteen-year long blockade of Armenia (imposed at the time of the post-Soviet conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh).

Q: Doesn’t a child need to know who George Washington and FDR and JFK were?
Dayna Martin, Unschooling Mom: I don’t know. Do you think they do? Do you think that’s necessary?
You gotta watch these ridiculous womb donors–they certainly aren’t moms, despite their claims. Be thankful your parents made you get up and go to school. Or, if you’re home-schooled, be thankful your parents actually cared enough to teach you, and didn’t do this. If these are your parents, it’s long past time to run away. These kids are going to grow up to be morons, stoners, losers. They will be as competent as–maybe even less than (but it’s debatable)–welfare-class kids in the People’s Republic of Detroitistan Publick Skoolz. Good luck getting them to add, subtract, or use critical thinking skills (not to mention common sense). They will not be able to function well in the real world. Thank G-d my parents were conventional, normal, caring people, not hipsters and hippie-wannabes, like the “parents” in the video.
To me, this is passive child abuse. I doubt, back in the day, these PINOs (Parents In Name Only) could get away with this. Forty or fifty years ago, the state would send truancy officers to this home and get tough. And that’s one case of statism that I think I’d support. I also noticed that men are barely in the picture, including the obviously wimpy Martin dad, Joe. That’s a big part of the problem, no doubt. And you just know that these “parents” voted for Obama. Bet on it.

I’m not gloating about Al Gore splitting from wife Tipper Gore (or maybe it’s the other way around). Forty years of marriage is a long time, so they did stay together a while (though if you’re together that long, why split up now?). And what they do is their business. Or, rather, could have stayed “their business.”
What Happens When You Don’t Get a Room
But they had to force it upon all of us . . . along with the green, “energy-efficient” lifestyle they didn’t practice but hypocritically preached that we should (as well as Tipper’s total 180 on rap lyrics once weird Al was running for Prez).Remember this photo, above, when Al Gore had to show the American people on the stage of the Democratic convention how much he loved his wife? I was thinking, “Uh, get a room.” Reality shows are not for Presidential contenders.

You don’t answer terrorism with diplomacy, you hit them with a sledge hammer to remind them what the cost is.
–A Muslim friend of mine from Dearbornistan, in defense of Israel regarding the HAMAS Gaza war flotilla.
A Brave Muslim Speaks Out in Support of Israel on HAMAS Gaza Flotilla
You know my opinion on “moderate Muslims.” Yes there are a scant, scant few. But there are so few truly moderate Muslims that statistically they don’t exist and the term is largely an oxymoron. In general, if they are truly religious Muslims, they are not moderates. But I also have a very small group of moderate Muslim friends, whom I know are truly moderate. But I can’t let anyone know who they are, or they’ll be killed. Yes, here in America, these very few brave, righteous people would be assassinated for daring to be right.
One of those is friend from Dearbornistan (and if everyone there were like him, I’d go back to calling it “Dearborn,” minus the “stan.” He is a Shi’ite Muslim whose family comes from South Lebanon–Hezbollah country. His parents are working-class people, and he is educated and put himself through school. He wanted me to know that he supports Israel’s actions of self-defense with regard to the HAMAS Gaza faux-peace flotilla terrorist theater. He’s brave for reaching out to me and like the others, I can never tell you his identity, or his life will be in danger. Today, in his city, most of his fellow Muslims are having one of their typical HAMAS anti-Israel protests. But my friend’s letter, from early yesterday, is right on:
Debbie:
I still follow your blog and respect your opinion.
I went to bad last night knowing there was a convo headed to Gaza and that Israel was prepared to stop it. I woke up and saw on the news that nine people lost their lives as well as numerous Israeli wounded. But in the end, the mission succeeded because the ships did not make it to Gaza.

The world’s double standard: It’s OK for Iran to stockpile nuclear weapons and threaten Israel, the Middle East and the World, but it’s not OK for Israel to protect itself from Iranian rockets smuggled into Gaza via Turkey under the cloak of “humanitarian aid.”

Amen, Jaime.

HAMAS “Naval Police” Exercised Protecting the NON-Neutral Terrorist Flotilla
June 1, 2010, - 12:02 pm
Much of the fallacious defense of the barbarism and violence perpetrated by the terrorist provocation theater crowd on the Gaza “peace” flotilla (with their “peaceful” iron pipes) is based on some false claim that Israel boarded the boats in international waters and is somehow forbidden to do so. Not the case.
HAMAS “Naval Police” Exercised Protecting the NON-Neutral Terrorist Flotilla
The San Remo Manual on International Law Applicable to Armed Conflicts at Sea–an international treaty in effect since June 12, 1994–expressly allows Israel’s actions . . . actions which our own Navy, Coast Guard, and Customs and Border Protection officials would probably take as well (board and inspect ships approaching our shores). The following is the applicable section of the treaty, although it’s beyond a doubt that the vessel in question was neither “neutral” nor “civil,” and, frankly, laxer standards than even these–with which Israel complied–apply.
SECTION V : NEUTRAL MERCHANT VESSELS AND CIVIL AIRCRAFT
Neutral merchant vessels
67. Merchant vessels flying the flag of neutral States may not be attacked unless they:
(a) are believed on reasonable grounds to be carrying contraband or breaching a blockade, and after prior warning they intentionally and clearly refuse to stop, or intentionally and clearly resist visit, search or capture;
(b) engage in belligerent acts on behalf of the enemy;
(c) act as auxiliaries to the enemy s armed forces;

**** UPDATED w/ NEW VIDEO ****
Watch this video of how the pro-HAMAS “peace activists” beat Israeli soldiers to a pulp with iron pipes. Those aren’t weapons? Uh, try arguing that in any criminal court. But, hey, the soldiers are just supposed to give up and die and allow their fellow soldiers to die at the hands of these torturous “peace activist” murderers, right? Would the United States do that? Would our Coast Guard and Customs and Border Protection agents just sit by and allow that as an Al-Qaeda “peace convoy” flotilla ship’s passengers did this? Hell, no.
Israel should have sunk this ship and killed all the barbarians aboard this ship and let their waterlogged bodies wash up at their intended final destination of Gaza. Israeli soldiers inspected five ships and were ready to let them go through. It was on this sixth ship that this barbaric attack was planned and deliberately carried out by these, as we call them in Yiddish, vildah chayahs [wild animals] or, as they are called in Arabic, bahayim. Animals aboard the Turkish ship, the Mavi Marmara . . .
