IDF Scores Big!

Today was a great day for IDF. They managed to send a strong message to all the actors in the region that you cannot and will not jeopardize Israel’s security just because you are involved in another regional conflict. Israel is sending the message to
Hezbollah that you are still our number one enemy and we will neutralize all of your backers and fighters wherever we can find them. Here is the story:
“Accordign to the Al-Akhbar report, the two targets, as well as other Hezbollah members and Iranian soldiers, were travelling in two vehicles on the northern section of the Quneitra district, some seven kilometers from the border with Israel. Al-Akhbar reported that after the two SUVs, a Jeep Cherokee and a Kia Sorento, had moved 400 meters away from a UNDOF base-but before they arrived at a headquarters for the Syrian regime’s paramilitary m ilitia-an Israeli chopper fired two missiles, hitting its target. On Monday afternoon, Jihad Mughniyeh-whose father was eliminated by a car bomb in Damascus in 2008-was laid to rest; the rest of the victims will be buried on Tuesday. The pro-Hezbollah paper noted that Israel had already attacked the area using similar means-they claimed an Israeli helicopter fired at the vehicles on June 17.”
Those are couple of issues involved here. They killed “Jihad” Mughnieh. He is the son of the Imad Mughnieh. First and foremost, that Imad guy was such a terrorist that he named his son “Jihad”. It is pretty funny to see that Terrorism takes such a control of one’s to an extend that they would even dedicate their children to the cause. Israel, however, is not holding back any punches. It is basically trying to show that we will hunt you down regardless of your family orientation.
Among the dead was also a high ranking Iranian General. Israel wants to show Iran that they will not allow their paramilitary generals and terrorist masterminds to run free in the region. Iran has no business to be in Syria and/or Lebanon. Iran is the source of all terrorism and evilness around the globe and Israel is the only country in the region who is doing something about it. Unfortunately, I do not believe Obama will be too happy about this update because it simply does not fit his agenda when it comes to combating true terrorism in the region. Obama is trying desperate to portray a peaceful picture of Iran and today’s update is not helping him at all. I would not be too surprised if they condemn this attack. Overall, it was a great day for Israel and IDF and their war against terrorism.

From Flotilla to ISIS

Who remembers this guy?
Well those of you who keep up with the news especially with what happened with the terrorist flotilla called Marmara, should remember the fool in the pictures. Marmara was a ship that was raided by Israeli commandos because they were trying to break the blockade of Gaza Strip. It resulted in the international community outcry for these terrorists because they claimed that it was nothing but a peaceful flotilla trying to stand in solidarity with people of Gaza. Well, it was not so peaceful after all. As it turns out, this guy whose picture I have on the right, ended up joining ISIS. He was actually killed by U.S. airstrike on one of ISIS targets.
So, as the world is going to ignore this development, events like this tend to solidify Israel standing that there is no difference between ISIS and pro-Palestinian camp and terrorist groups. They are the same exact movement. ISIS tends to be more violent, but ideology and practices is pretty much the same. I wonder if Turkey and Erdogan are going to say or do anything about this guy. I am glad to see another terrorist bite the dust, but it is sad that this news is being ignored by major media outlets.

I believe this cartoon that I have shared before on this site, explains the entire picture of this charade like peace activists for Gaza.

Documentary About the Islamic State (IS-Former ISIS)

This is the true genocide. IS (Former ISIS) is the true meaning of mass-murderers with deadly goals. IS and their supporters and sympathizers are completely honest about their evil intentions which are world domination and mass killing of people. It is amazing, these guys are committing the exact crimes that Anti-Israel camp is accusing Israel of doing; yet, the Anti-Israel camp does not have nor presented a single shred of accurate evidence to support their claim against Israel. Now, this same camp is absolutely silent about the crimes committed by IS (Former ISIS).

When I watched this video, I swear I thought I was back in Iran and watching the State Television. This documentary will show in detail the nature of IS and methods utilized by them to enforce their laws. It resembles a lot like the propaganda I used to see in the Iranian TV. They say the same exact thing about Jihad, about Islam, about training of the kids, about Kuffar (Non-believer's'), and many other similarities. I saw the same tactic to create propaganda and to brain-wash their masses. They openly lie and you could this pattern of deception when it comes to their propensity in the global aspect. There is no difference between these Islamic Groups. There is a difference when it comes to practicing of the religion, but at the end, their ideology, goals, and tactics are exactly the same.

So, the world needs to wake up and recognize this issue and confront IS with the outmost ruthlessness. There is no negotiating with these guys. These guys are not from poor societies that you could buy yourself out of by throwing money at it. These guys are very well-educated and they are motivated by religion and ideology. The only language that these guys will simply understand is death and removing them from our civilized global society. Previous arguments regarding social status, income, or dignity being the main reason behind suicide bombings has been debunked because it is apparent that these guys are motivated by religion. You could see a lot of these fighters came from European countries. They are not coming from villages in Muslim countries. They are simply motivated by religion and violence.




I have also included another video from early 80s where this kid in Iran is talking about how he loves fighting for the Islamic Government of Iran. I wish I could find the same clip with English translation, but the kid in this video sounds exactly the same as the kid in the IS video.

Cease Fire

There seems to be a pattern here. Hamas does not want to sign any ceasefire and they are using every excuse in the book. The reason is quite simple: Hamas is benefiting from the war and they are gathering global support. The disgusting fact is that they want heavier casualties on Palestinian side in order to buy themselves more legitimacy and support. They are in a tight position if ceasefire is signed; Egypt is no longer their ally and they recognize the ugly nature of this murderous group. Egyptian public is supporting the government and it means that they will no longer receive weapons. So, they need a “port” to transfer their weaponry and secure their dictatorship. So, Hamas is not interested in ending the hostilities, rather they want to continue this war, so there will be heavier civilian death and they are going to do everything they can to get as many Palestinian killed as possible. They are already using every fraudulent and deceptive acts possible to show higher number of casualties. At the end, it is up to the Palestinians to stand up to this group. I do not see that happening anytime soon.

Three Moral Questions Raised


As the Operation Protective Edge is concluding, it is becoming more apparent that the Media did a horrendous job in terms of reporting the real issues and instead acted as Hamas Propaganda Mouth-piece. Of course, again, as I will explain later, pure global Anti-Semitism had a lot to do with it plus Muslim and Arab population that these Media were catering to in order to grab more viewers. A lot of reporters are speaking out against their treatment by Hamas in Gaza Strip in the aftermath of the Operation.
Media was absolutely controlled by Hamas in those regions in order to provide fake images that Hamas wanted to provide to the world. Of course in today’s fast paste of communications, the news comes and grabs the shock value and sympathy regardless of its accuracy or the proper explanation. By the time these news items have been clarified, there are two or three news cycle over it and it gets lost in the explanation. What would be the result? Pure propaganda utilized to serve the global Anti-Semitic thirst. However, these three issues and the picture provide a glimpse of Media’s horrific coverage of Operation Protective Edge.
1) "Why don’t the media show the relatively open areas of the Gaza Strip?” He then poses a couple of answers. Firstly, it would reveal that Hamas could be firing rockets and building tunnels in these areas but has chosen not to. Or that Hamas won’t let the media access those areas. In either case, it would be something worth reporting.

2) “Why doesn’t Hamas use sparsely populated areas from which to launch its rockets and build its tunnels?” The answer here is crystal clear: Palestinian civilian casualties would decrease dramatically but the death of terrorist would do the opposite. Hamas uses civilians as shields – which their own battle manual mandates, completely the opposite of Israel. Simply put, this is a war crime and Hamas is therefore responsible for its own civilian deaths.

3) “Why does the United Nations try to shelter Palestinian civilians right in the middle of the areas from which Hamas is firing?” Why not use the sparsely populated areas for refuge? The result of this would be to deny Hamas the ability to use civilians as shields and lead to a dramatic reduction in the deaths of civilians. By not doing so, the UN supports precisely what Hamas intends: to force Israel to attack areas where UN-protected civilians are.

Hamas's Treatment of Media!

As the world is basically trying to condemn Israel for defending herself against a terrorist group, it is becoming more apparent of the level of hatred and fraudulent measures taken by Hamas to persuade global attitude toward Israel. Of course, global Anti-Semitism that is becoming more prevalent is not helping the situation either. Here is a small glimpse of a brave Spanish reporter describing Hamas's actions when it came to reporting the truth in Gaza.

A Spanish journalist told Israeli filmmaker Michael Grynszpan that the reason television news does not broadcast images of Hamas fighters in action is because of fear of immediate execution.

Grynszpan, who directed the film ‘Forgotten Refugees‘, about the 800,000 to 1 million Jews expelled from their homes in the Arab world in the 1950s, posted his interview with the unnamed Spanish journalist on Facebook on Wednesday.

“I met today with a Spanish journalist who just came back from Gaza. We talked about the situation there. He was very friendly. I asked him how come we never see on television channels reporting from Gaza any Hamas people, no gunmen, no rocket launcher, no policemen. We only see civilians on these reports, mostly women and children.”

“He answered me frankly: ‘It’s very simple, we did see Hamas people there launching rockets, they were close to our hotel, but if ever we dared pointing our camera on them they would simply shoot at us and kill us.’”

“Wooh, impressive. Then I asked him ‘Would you mind saying that on camera? I can film you explaining this…’”

“For some reason I cannot really understand, he refused and almost ran away. I guess my camera is as dangerous as Hamas threats…”

“So just for you to know, the truth will never appear on the images you see on television.”

Grynszpan‘s interview was flagged on Thursday by blogger Elder of Zion who compared the many reports of the dangerous intimidation endured by journalists from Hamas in Gaza to what was reported in 2006, at the hands of Hezbollah, in Lebanon.

“CNN’s Nic Robertson dutifully accompanied Hezbollah on a planned tour of a bombed out building, repeating Hezbollah’s talking points about not seeing any military targets there and not telling viewers that it was staged entirely by Hezbollah. Only when he was safely back in the U.S., and challenged on TV about his report, did he admit the truth,” the blogger said.

Robertson, as reported by Newsbusters, said on air: “Hezbollah has ‘very, very sophisticated and slick media operations,’ that the terrorist group ‘had control of the situation. They designated the places that we went to, and we certainly didn’t have time to go into the houses or lift up the rubble to see what was underneath,’ and he even contradicted Hezbollah’s self-serving spin: ‘There’s no doubt that the [Israeli] bombs there are hitting Hezbollah facilities.’”

But Elder of Ziyon also quoted the reporting of CNN’s Anderson Cooper, who he credited as being “the only one of scores of journalists who exposed the facade of impartiality while he was in Lebanon.”

“As the video showed a group reporters and photographers interviewing a single woman on a blanket, Cooper explained, ‘Civilian casualties are clearly what Hezbollah wants foreign reporters to focus on. It keeps the attention off them — and questions about why Hezbollah should still be allowed to have weapons when all the other militias in Lebanon have already disarmed.’”

“After letting us take pictures of a few damaged buildings, they take us to another location, where there are ambulances waiting.”

“This is a heavily orchestrated Hezbollah media event. When we got here, all the ambulances were lined up. We were allowed a few minutes to talk to the ambulance drivers. Then one by one, they’ve been told to turn on their sirens and zoom off so that all the photographers here can get shots of ambulances rushing off to treat civilians. That’s the story that Hezbollah wants people to know about.”

“These ambulances aren’t responding to any new bombings. The sirens are strictly for effect.”

Israel Kills Palestinian Civilian in Broad Daylight!

As you could see, Palestinians are very peaceful people who are the victim of Israeli aggression. The poor Palestinian civilian was shot dead in broad daylight as he was trying to be a civilian and protect his home. The aggressive Israelis used disproportionate force in order to handle the situation and ended up killing a civilian as he was trying to finish his work. This Palestinian was not acting like an animal and he was just being a Palestinian.

Hamas's Response to Palestianian Dissent: EXECUTION!

Developing news in Gaza is more troubling than ever. So, 20 people decided to stand up to this genocidal terrorist group of Hamas. How did this terrorist organization deal with the dissent? Well, they just EXECUTED them. This barbaric terrorist organization does not even have mercy on Palestinian blood, the same blood that they have sworn to avenge and protect.
They are intentionally and directly spilling this blood just because they are not in agreement with them. Ladies and Gentlemen of the Left who call this group “freedom fighters” or humanitarian group: how do you guys even support this group? Could you imagine if Israel hadn’t fought these guys at this stage and what they would have done couple of years down the road? How could you call this group a democratic group with amazing values when they quickly remove any dissent? Hamas is a terrorist organization whose hands are soaked with Palestinian blood. They are directly responsible for the death of innocent Palestinians by using them as human shields, but now you could add another category of people which is people they simply do not agree with at any point. Well, the world is going to ignore this, just like they are focused on the hospital that was bombed by Hamas and blamed Israel, they would like to link Israel to it too. I would like to see where are all the so-called peace-loving Human Right groups? Where is U.N.? I thought it was the Palestinians and their lives, what gives? Why are they absolutely silent on these? This proves that these groups are motivated only by hatred and nothing more; because these people were Palestinian who were killed by Hamas in broad day-light and executed, is not really the type of blood that these groups feel is worth mentioning in their “human-loving” condemnation. Plus, who says that they were really innocent?

Why Gaza Needed Construction Materials

Who remembers the Flotilla and all B.S that it had with it? Remember, how they were crying over Israeli Blockade and how it is making Palestinians suffer? Remember how Israel was blocking the import of construction materials especially cement? Who remembers that? Remember how terrorist apologist were running around screaming about how Israel does not allow the import of cement? Who could tell me why they were so adamant about construction materials and cement? What happened? These terrorist apologists, NGOs, so-called "peace activists", and other nuts were directly collaborating with Hamas in order to build a terrorist infrastructure inside Gaza. They are all equally guilty of the current situation with Hamas. The recent conflict proves more than ever the importance of Israeli Blockade in Gaza. It proves that Israel's security is directly related to this blockade. So, those terrorist apologists are actually responsible for the civilian deaths in Gaza because all those construction materials, all that money, and the energy was spent on finding creative ways to kill Jewish civilians as oppose to actually helping Gazans. Next time you see someone crying over situation in Gaza, tell them about this situation.

Gaza's Suffering

The reports that coming out of Gaza is truly amazing. So, all this time, we kept hearing about how Gaza is nothing but a concentration camp. We kept hearing about how Palestinians are suffering, starving, and are dying in the streets from lack of nutrition and/or clean water. Well, most of these reports were nothing but pure lies and propaganda. It was to incite hatred toward Jews and Jewish nation. However, no body was ever asking about the money that they kept receiving from the international community. I believe this picture explains the entire story. They spent it on terrorist activity while they made sure that their population suffer in order to buy international support.

Let's See the Reactions!

If in the past year you didn’t CRY OUT when thousands of protesters were killed and injured by Turkey, Egypt and Libya, when more victims than ever were hanged by Iran, women and children in Afghanistan were bombed, whole communities were massacred in South Sudan, 1800 Palestinians were starved and murdered by Assad in Syria, hundreds in Pakistan were killed by jihadist terror attacks, 10,000 Iraqis were killed by terrorists, villagers were slaughtered in Nigeria, but you ONLY cry out for GAZA, then you are not pro HUMAN RIGHTS, you are only ANTI-ISRAEL.

And You Will Try To Justify This Too


And you will spin your wheels and turn it back, turn it black somehow, some way. You will try to justify this too.

But their blood cries out from the ground and contradicts you and speaks of three lives spilled on the ground after 16 or 19 years of hopes and parenting and dreams and futures swallowed up by the evil that is the evil we live with day in and day out, threatening to cover us over in black every day.

Every day.

And you will try to justify this too.

Because you are evil. You are black-hearted. You are jealous.

You were bred to hate and you breed to hate. Some of you abet and some of you just go out there and seize some boys and break their heads and tender bones, spilling their blood endlessly, effortlessly, and calling it “holy” because you distort.

You uglify God.

You twist and everything turns ugly at your touch. And you infect.

Morally. Physically with your sickness.

You are sick at the core, in the beginning and the end of you, you are black and evil and damned for all eternity, but you pretend to believe the others when they tell you you are holy. Because this permits you free reign on your most evil, most black inclinations.

You are like a hydra. Cut off one head, another grows. There is no end to you.

God. The God of the Jews. He regrets your creation.

You are the one thing He regrets.

We will live in spite of you.

The Real Palestine

So, there is this new movie going around on YouTube where the Pro-Palestinians are trying to portray a much loving picture of “Palestine”. They are right, there is no country called Palestine and it is nothing but a state of mind. They are trying to stay “Palestine is love”. I agree with that statement; however I believe the sentence is not a complete sentence because it lacks merits. The merits that it is lacking are love of what? I’ll complete that sentence. “Palestine is love” is the love of terrorism, hatred, and killing of Jews. Palestinians have not dedicated anything to civilized society except different methods to conduct and justify killing of innocent civilians. Every country they have stepped into, they have delivered nothing but chaos and destruction. This is a historic fact that many Israel’s neighbors have gone through, but they are too ashamed to share it. “Palestine” in its true core is nothing but a hoax, a hoax that utilizes all sorts of deception and lies to justify their existence. They resort to false propaganda and photo-shops in order create fake outrage and justify their barbaric acts against civilians. “Palestine’ is an entity that has rejected every peace offering on the table because it did not cater to their ethnic-cleansing identity. It is the group of people who willingly use their children for Propaganda with absolute disregard for their safety and security. It is the cause that utilizes their own civilians for protection of their terrorists. The reason is because if you dissect Palestinian Cause, literature, its leaders, and its core value, you find nothing but hatred of Jews and destruction of Israel and its identity as a Jewish nation. Here is an amazing video in response to the Propaganda that is not supported by any factual evidence what-so-ever.

BDS Fail

As we all know, UCLA conducted a hearing regarding BDS. It was nothing short of a joke and here is the proof of the typical mentality of a Pro-Palestinian supporter. They seriously have no clue what they are doing and what is going on in that region. BDS is a blatant Anti-Semitic movement. During the Nazis, they also boycotted Jewish Businesses. In our modern day, they are boycotting the Jewish State. Well, I really enjoy watching her misery and hopefully she will have more to come in her life soon.
I never talk, I’m always like, like I’m always like, like it fucking
sucks (incoherent gibberish) but I’ve never been so fucking disappointed
that the (incoherent gibberish) terrorize them (incoherent gibberish)
so pissed off and I always bite my tongue during these meetings but I’ve
never been so fucking disappointed on anything. People are getting hurt
and we could have stopped it and (incoherent gibberish) we fucking blew
it and I’m sorry (incoherent gibberish) 12 hours and we all did and we
all listened to this and I’m like I went, sorry for blowing up right now
and I’m so disappointed about this (incoherent gibberish) but like I
just wanted to know that like I like know that about it all the time
(incoherent gibberish)…. And it was so terrible, and my sister was like,
“I’m so sorry you have to go through that”, and she saw me and she
asked me, “what’s wrong, why are you crying?” and I was like the whole
world should be crying right now (incoherent gibberish)

It is Hard to Feel Sympathy for Events in Russia

There have been three (3) terrorist attacks in four days in Russia. All three have been committed by Islamic Extremist belonging to different sect of this religion. To be honest, I am losing track of all these sects of Islamic where each one is calling the other ones infidels and terrorists. From Iran to Palestinian Territories, to Egypt, to Syria, to Lebanon, to Afghanistan, to Iraq, to ... (this could go on for a while). However, for Russia, I have zero sympathy. The loss of innocent civilians is always a sad tragedy in a political or military conflict. However, in this case, the responsibility rests with the Russian government. For the majority of last century and our contemporary history, Russia has been directly and indirectly one of the biggest supporter of the Islamic terrorism around the world. Every time the issue comes up, the Russian authorities always point finger at the U.S and they want to exercise their freedom to support other people. They always use the “ignorance” and “lack of tolerance” arguments in order to justify their support for all the terrorist supporting nations. Perfect example of it is their full support to the Arab nations to destroy Israel for majority of the previous century. Their most current support is for Assad Regime and the nuclear reactors in Iran. They claim that they are simply supporting their allies and nobody could stop them. Look at the all the weaponry that these terrorists use around the globe: majority of these weapons are Russian made. The Russian government has been making trillions of dollars from selling weapons to the terrorists. They have been openly supporting and arming terrorist organizations around the globe. Russian government is nothing but mob squads who are running the country and they are making themselves richer by the minutes by selling death to different parts of the world.
So given the Russian report card for the last hundred years, seeing sad days like these provides me with no sympathy for what is taking place in Russia. It is the direct result of the Russian mentality, culture, and government that is showing its face. Russia has always been beacon of hope for U.S enemies around the globe because that is exactly where they would buy their weapons. Selling Arms to African countries that are used to kill civilians is a different argument. My main point is what they have been doing with the Islamic and non-Islamic terrorism around the globe. It is about time that this country should realize the type of crime that they have committed against humanity. Maybe this awakens a sense of responsibility. However, the chances of that happening are slim close to none. Russia will continue support for the terrorist nations around the world and they would be doing it with their heads held high.

The Most Hilarious Apology!

This is not joke. When I saw this I was stunt. Al Qaeda, the most ruthless terrorist organization, has issued an apology. This could mean many things. This is a type of group who would never want to admit fault at anything. Issuing apology is simply not in their nature or handbooks. However, this gets even more interesting. In the apology, they are apologizing for the loss of innocent lives. Seriously?!? I cannot even begin to tell you how stupid this sounds in its core. Here is part of their apology.

"Now we acknowledge our mistake and guilt," he added. "We offer our apology and condolences to the victims' families. We accept full responsibility for what happened in the hospital and will pay blood money for the victims' families." Raymi said that despite the error, "we are continuing our jihad". He warned that AQAP would attack any other military posts that "co-operate with the American drones by spying, planting chips, providing information or offering intelligence advice".

So your entire ideology is based upon terror. You call it “resistance,” yet this entire “resistance” is based upon targeting and killing innocent civilians. Your members butchered innocent Iraqis on daily basis all throughout the previous decade; your entire operation is based on targeting civilian soft targets. When are planning and implementing a mission, one of its main objective is to kill as many civilians as possible. So now you are apologizing for accidental killing of civilians? What happened? Please don’t bother answer…

What makes it more interesting that this terrorist still go on to give the usualy terrorist rhetoric about continuation of "Jihad" and targeting others. This is truly hilarious. I am sure there are thousands of explanations that terrorist-apologists would throw to answer those questions, but again, it is a terrorist group apologizing for killing civilians. I guess they are sorry that they have simply killed Sunni Muslims as oppose to civilians from other faiths.

Rocket Attacks and World View

Israellycool is one of my favorite blog. I think this picture that he has created has explained the sad truth about world view and the global ignorance toward the daily terrorism that the people in Israel has to live with on hourly basis.

Palestinian Boy Bombs Iranian Embassy in Beirut

About a week ago, there was a bombing near Iranian Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon. I have zero sympathy for victims of this kind of bombings due to the fact that Israel has been suffering from the same tactics. At the same time, it is a well-known established fact that Iranian agents in these embassies are nothing but mercenary killers who try to target Jews and Israelis around the globe. These agents try to act as the terrorist mobilizer in these countries. Who could forget the Iranian bombing of the Jewish centers in Argentina’s during the 90s? However, what is amazing about this bombing is that the bomber is Palestinian. WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!? Are you kidding me? Wait a second, Iran has been investing billions of dollars for the “plight” of Palestinians. They established many terrorist organizations in the name of Palestinian Cause and they have done almost anything and everything for Palestinians. Yet, when it came down to the difference between Shiite and Sunnis, Palestinians started fighting against Iran? Oh boy the Irony!
Anyways, as it was said before in this blog, Palestinians and the Arabs will NEVER EVER respect Iran and Iranians as a nation. Even right now when there is a huge rift between Israel and Iran over its nuclear program, the gulf nations and majority of the Arab countries in the region are actually getting closer to Israel than Iran. How is that even possible? The answer is quite simple: Arabs do not like Iranians. As much as Iranian government tries to title itself as the defender of the Muslims and Islam, Arabs do not simply recognize Iran as an Islamic nation and they see themselves as superior to Iranians. The sad part is that the Iranian government has desperately been trying to buy the Arab support like an outcast making desperate attempts to fit into this crowd. I guess this bombing who claimed the lives of the many could act as a reminder that Arabs do not simply like Iran or its government. So, maybe it is about time for Iranian regime to realize that its support for Palestinians is nothing but a bad gamble.

"Not Without My Children" Palestinian Style with a Dosage of Anti-Semitism

I decided to publish this story because it provides proof for four major points that I have always said about situation in Gaza:
• There are wealthy Gazans
• There is incitement against Jews
• Palestinian terrorists fire from civilian areas, using civilians cynically as human shields
• Many palestinian civilians gladly go along with it
As the Left and Terrorist Apologists try to portray the situation to be the same as Nazis in Gaza, testimonies such as this one provides proof that they are just simple liars. They distort truth in order to sell their hatred to the globe and discredit the Jews and the Jewish nation. Here is the story:
LONDON — Gunfire cracked all around Sara Rogers as she climbed to the roof of her high-rise home in Gaza. The year was 2005, and Israeli soldiers were fighting Palestinian gunmen to stop rocket attacks and destroy smuggling tunnels.
Rogers closed her eyes. "Just let one hit me in the head," she begged. "And make it quick."
It was not the months of violence of the Second Intifada that made the Italian-American college graduate ache for death. It was her virtual enslavement by one of the most feared families in the Middle East.
Days later, Rogers was in a taxi with her five children, praying her husband wouldn't catch her and their five children before she reached the Israeli border.
"It was the most relieved I have ever felt," she recalled of her escape to Israel. "Four years of hell was finally over."
Rogers is not the first Western woman to marry an Arab man and find out how few rights she had once removed to a Middle East country that abides by sharia, or Islamic law. But some are working to make her among the last.
Micah Thorner, director of post-convention support programs at the Hague, said such cases will be the subject of a gathering in Tunisia this month "to engage states that are based on sharia legal systems in dialogue with states that are party to the convention."
Thorner said the aim is to get sharia nations to agree on some principles for the resolution of parental disputes involving children. But many nations in the Middle East have not signed on to the 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, an international agreement protecting against detainment of children.
"As the convention gains wider acceptance throughout the world, these types of situations are probably less likely to occur," Thorner said.
The ordeal of an American woman who was held captive with her child by her husband in Iran was chronicled in the 1991 book and film "Not Without My Daughter." And a French woman who escaped her Saudi prince husband has yet to be rejoined with her daughter despite a 2012 French court ruling ordering the husband to turn over the child.
The U.S. State Department does not keep records on its citizens who are kidnapped on foreign soil. Though it does try to put pressure on governments for an American's release, State has gone on record in the past that it has "very limited capability" in Gaza.
When such kidnappings do occur, it often appears as a surprise to women as it was to Rogers, a bright multicultural studies student from upstate New York.
Rogers was living with her mother in Las Cruces, a city on the Rio Grande in New Mexico, when she became enchanted by a soft-spoken Arab man working at the Middle Eastern cafe where she'd often study.
"I was the feminist, the rebel, everything you could imagine," she said. Hatem Abu Taha proposed to her three days after they met. They were married soon after.
"The morning after we wed, my husband got up to meet his friends," she recalled. "I was like, 'What? We're newlyweds.'"
"He just told me he was doing guy things and I could do woman things," she said in an interview at her home outside Boston.
Rogers worked as a nurse assistant but hoped for better. She completed a master's degree and was preparing to write a book. Her husband rarely worked. He spoke often of his native land.
The couple had three children and were expecting a fourth when Taha said it was time they traveled to the Middle East to visit his Palestinian relatives. It was 2001.
Taha's family lived in Rafah, a city on the border with Egypt from which Palestinian militants launched Qassam rockets into Israel.
Rogers was surprised to see that Taha's family appeared to be well off. They owned, he told her, Gaza's only cigarette patent. She was also not ready for what happened to her husband.
Taha was ultra-patriotic, she said, and passive to the will of his family who were hostile to the American in their home. After two weeks, Rogers said her kids were "breaking down." Her eldest son was suffering anxiety attacks. Her 2-year-old daughter had contracted dysentery.
When they arrived two weeks before, carpenters were building a third-floor addition to the family home. Taha told Rogers it was for his brother and his wife. But when the work was done, Taha told her the unit was where she would live.
Rogers was distressed and said she wanted the family to return home to the United States.
"He just laughed: 'You have no embassy here. You have no family. No one.' I was in shock," she said.
Her mother-in-law was the cruelest, she said, patrolling the downstairs so Rogers didn't escape. The children were called "Yehudi"(Jews) and bullied constantly at school. Her husband told her the children were his and that she was nothing but "a vessel."
"I did not exist as a person," she said.
There was worse to come. Rogers said Taha struck her and broke her jaw for not cleaning the refrigerator properly. And she was suspicious that her in-laws weren't just involved in cigarette trading.
They would have lengthy conversations with members of Hamas, the Palestinian terror group whose urban warfare tactics Rogers witnessed firsthand.
"The Palestinians would get inside a local school and start shooting from the windows," she said. "And the Israelis would just fire back. Then you'd see people holding up dead Palestinian kids."
When Rogers pleaded to move away from the perilous border with Israel, her father-in-law refused, claiming it would be an honor for them to be "martyred." It was soon clear the family was active in terror networks. Israeli aerial attacks were common.
"We could hear the helicopter coming a mile away: tick, tick, tick, tick," Rogers said. "Then it would drop the bomb."
Rogers' eldest son was injured by an Israeli tank shell. Her newborn son chewed holes in his feet because of the stress. One night, Taha and his nephew Yahya didn't return from a trip.
"On the BBC was a report that two Palestinians from Islamic Jihad had claimed an attack and a young man and his wife were dead," said Rogers. "My sister-in-law came up the stairs crying happily, saying that Yahya was now a martyr and in heaven. I had to get out."
On a trip to Gaza City to meet a family friend, Rogers slipped away while the men were at afternoon prayers. In her burka, she had heard that illegal taxis brought people from Gaza to Israel and pleaded with a local store owner to call her one.
"I asked the cab driver how long it took to Erez and he said half an hour. I said, 'If you can make it in 15 minutes, you can have every bit of gold I have.' He got me to the border."
Rogers said that speaking about her life in Palestine helps ease the pain. But it will be a long time until she recovers. "I try to take the positives from everything," she said. "I meet good people and everything makes me grateful."
"My kids are smart, funny, you'd never have guessed what they went through," she added. "I tell them that it was a bad thing but that it was given to them for a reason. They can make their lives count."
