"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."

Muhammad Al Dura: Another Palestinian Lie

I still remember that day. It was October of 2000. I was working for this company when the footage was all over the TV. You couldn’t miss the footage of Muhammad Al Dura on TV. I mean how could you not miss it, it was a sad scene. It was a father and a son struggling to survive in the middle of gun battle. The whole Arab world exploded. The picture of Muhammad Al Dura became the face of Palestinian resistance. The whole world started their condemnation of Israel without a single set of investigation. In the Arab world, poems started being written in the honor of that kid and how ruthless Israelis killed him. Streets were named after him, clothes were designed in his honor, and many other propaganda tools were utilized using that footage. Israel, just like most of the world jumped to the conclusion and apologized for his death. The footage showed that an Israeli soldier firing his gun and the kid falls and dies. Here is the thing: the two scenes were not one continuous scene. Meaning, in one scene you see the soldier shooting his gun, and in another scene you see the kid falling. There is only one little problem: THE TYPE OF GUN THAT THE IDF SOLDIER WAS USING AND THE TYPE OF BULLET IN MUHAMMAD’S BODY DOES NOT MATCH. If that was not enough, the type of bullet that was used could not be matched to any type of IDF bullets or the guns that was being used by IDF at the time of the conflict. ALSO FROM THE ANGLE THAT THE SOLDIER HAD FIRED HIS GUN AND THE WAY THE BULLET HAD ENTERED THE BODY, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPOSSIBLE FOR IDF SOLDIERS TO SHOOT THAT KID. The camera man had tampered with the video and it was staged. Anybody who knows anything about guns or criminal procedure will tell you that essential element in incriminating someone is matching the bullet to the gun or the type of gun that was used. Well, guess what, report after report, scientist after scientists, expert after expert came out and said: it is not possible that IDF must have shot him. (Click here for the articlea)


Well ladies and gentleman, the face of Palestinian Resistance is simply nothing but a fraud. And honestly, I have no doubt that Palestinian must have killed the kid for the Media attention. I mean, in a culture who teaches hate and death and suicide bombing to kids as honorable acts, would it be any surprise that they would shoot their own kids? I mean they use their own kids as human shields and fire toward Israeli Soldiers from behind these kids and stone throwers, so IDF would return fire and kill one of the kids. Then they would use it to defraud the world and impeach Israel’s character in the eyes of international community. What is the difference anyways, you teach them to blow yourself up or you shoot him, the act is the same: the kid dies. The blood is on the hands of the people who take the life away. However, the amazing part is it proves my point: PALESTINIAN CAUSE IS NOTHING BUT A FRAUDULENT CAUSE WHO NEEDS TO LIE, DECEIVE, AND CHEAT TO SURIVIVE. THEIR WHOLE SYMBOL TURNS OUT TO BE A FRAUD, I MEAN HOW BAD AND PATHETIC COULD THIS CAUSE BE THAT ITS SYMBOLS ARE FAKE. If it was a just cause, there would be no need for lies as big as this one.

Truce!

Even though I have a huge midterm tomorrow, I still had to write about it. Ok, the truce was violated by Palestinian. It took them five days before not carrying an act of violence toward Jews would get on their nerves and try something. They are addicted. However, it was not Hamas who carried out the operation. It was Islamic Jihad. For those who are not familiar with terrorist group of Islamic Jihad, they are directly funded and supported by Iran. Islamic Jihad is basically Iran’s bitch in Gaza and Iranian terrorist officials are directly involved in daily operation of this barbaric group. So, as it is apparent, the whole idea of being Pro-Palestinian and their support for Palestinian cause is nothing but a self-serving operation. Any truce between Palestinians and Israelis would be damaging for Iran especially at this point (it is tied to the whole nuclear program and buying sympathy and keeping Israel as enemy that I am not going to go into at this point.) Iranian officials love to see this conflict going and they basically benefit from Palestinians dying. They couldn’t wait five until they destroy this shaky truce. This is for those terrorist apologists who claim people who hate Iranian government are doing it simply because they support Palestinian cause and this government is standing up for Palestinian. These terrorist apologists do not dare to even dare to criticize Iranian regime simply because their hatred of Israel is bigger than their love for their own countries. They would not say anything because they do not want to discredit a supporter of Palestinian cause when this same government (Iran) has and still is slaughtering their own brothers and sisters in Universities. Isn’t it amazing now? Iranian government loves to see Palestinians dying in the streets of Gaza; they love to see Israeli tanks rolling into Gaza strip and while searching for terrorists, harm Palestinian civilians unintentionally. They train these terrorists to hide behind these Palestinians to maximize civilian death when Israelis fire back just to enrage simple minded Arab world and buy more support for their corrupt, barbaric, and decaying Islamic ideology that Khomeini introduced to the civilized world in 1979. I have said it many times before and I say it now: Palestinian cause is nothing but a fraudulent cause funded, supported, and backed by government who are only looking for ways to push forth their own interests and keeping themselves in power. The best example is Iran: they are trying to keep this conflict going because they need this conflict to continue to buy sympathy for this terrorist cause in their own public eye, and justify their hatred toward Israel and keep Israel as an enemy. If Israel is kept as an enemy in the region, it makes it easier for them to clamp down on their citizens; all they have to do is label any protestor as a Zionists and coerce a fake confession out of them and execute them. No one will ask anything!
Another part about this violation is: situations like today seems a lot similar to 90s. It is similar to when Israel was being bombed and Israel failed to do anything simply because it was someone else who violated the peace agreements. Israeli government would ask the Palestinian what happened and they would condemn the act and they would add that it was not us who did it. Yet Palestinians did not lift a finger to stop those groups. Remember the bus bombings and how Israel did not do much to punish the actors in 90s because we were going through that fake peace process? One of the victims was also a relative of mine. Israeli government will claim that if we do anything, terrorist would be the winner of that because they want this truce to be destroyed and guess what is going to happen: terrorists are going to get away with just firing anything into Israel. Israel should respond and they should respond quickly and very harshly to prove to Hamas that they are not joking when they say no act of violence from Gaza. If they want another truce, they should go after Islamic Jihad, make them quiet first and then come to the table to renegotiate another truce. We should not repeat what happened in the 90s when Israel proved to be powerless in the peace process. We cannot allow this truce to tie our hands and take away our ability to defend ourselves.

Hamas’s Great Deterrence

One of the roles of government is to protect its citizen. However, the elected government of Palestinians seems to have missed the memo on that one. Here is a statement by Zamar who is a Hamas leader. According to him, Israel will pay a heavy price if they do not accept the ceasefire that Hamas is in desperate need in order to regroup and rearm itself. The heavy price that Zamar is trying to deter Israel with is not a new weapon, air force, technology, or military tactic. Hamas is trying scare of Israel by threatening to kill its own citizen. Zamar said, “Israel may have 200 nuclear warheads, but Hamas has 200,000 people who want to blow themselves up inside Israel,” Click Here for the story.

Think about it: instead of protecting its citizens, Hamas is simply willing to sacrifice 200,000 of its own citizen to deliver a message to Israel. Keep in mind, this government is democratically elected by Palestinians and it is a perfect signature of pathetic Palestinian cause. How pathetic is this Palestinian Cause? This is why the Palestinian Cause that Western Academia is so found of is nothing but a terrorist cause. Another question is: they do not even value the lives of their own people, who would in their right mind think that they would have any mercy on the lives of Israelis if one day get any sort of power to cause any damage to Israel?

This is the great difference between Zionism and Palestinian terrorism. Israel values its citizens’ lives and will do anything to defend it. Palestinian cause is a terrorist cause that will do anything to achieve its evil intentions even if it requires slaughtering 200,000 of their own citizens.

By the way, this is not the problem with Palestinians. This is the problem with the “religion of peace”. Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini (The leader of the great Islamic revolution of Iran) said once that we have over one billion Muslims; there is nothing wrong with sacrificing half of it to destroy Israel. However, the pathetic and terrorist cause of Palestinian has fallen in to the same trap. Their only goal is not simply to liberate their land; their only goal is to bring back the Muslim rule to this peace of land. They are willing to use any means necessary to achieve that goal. The greatest achievement they have had is making a mockery of “human rights” and institutions that are supposed uphold such rights. They just simply cannot accept a Jewish nation, not because of its Zionists values, but simply because it is a Jewish government. This is why the terrorist cause of Palestinians reeks with anti-Semitic remarks and rhetoric. This hatred of Jews is so powerful that they will sacrifice 200,000 of their citizens and not even a soul in Palestinian territory is going to criticize this government.

Good Palestinians, Bad Palestinians!

This is a great article in a Farsi Blog from Iran. The author is a student in an Iranian student who is very critical of this phony Islamic government. He is an amazing writer. I have translated it for those who do not read Farsi.

.

امروز روز قدس بود. به نوعی نماد حمایت از مردم فلسطین برای دست یابی به حقوق انسانی خود گرچه شاید این روز هم دچار بازی های سیاسی شده باشد و مفهوم واقعی خود را از دست داده باشد.
از سوی دیگر این سوال مطرح است که چرا این روز در بین خود مردم اراضی اشغالی و یا حتی بخش های خودگردان اهمیت و اعتبار کافی را کسب نکرده.
اما موضوع این نوشته فلسطین و روز قدس نیست و یا اینکه به واقع چه راه انسانی و قابل اجرایی برای احقاق حق مردم فلسطین می توان یافت. موضوع نگاه گزینشی به بحت عدالت و آزادی است.
در حالی که این روزها تمام شبکه های صدا و سیما به پخش برنامه هایی در مظلومیت مردم فلسین می پردازد اتفاق دیگری در ان سوی قاره آسیا در حال وقوع است. راهبان برمه ای خسته از حکومت دیکتاتوری چند دهه ای نظامیان در حرکتی آرام به خیابان آمدند تا اعتراض خود را به نبود دموکراسی در آن کشور اعلام کنند.
حرکتی که چند روزی ادامه یافت و در نهایت با برخورد تند نظامیان با صدها هزار نفر راهب و مردمی که به حمایت از آنها برخواسته بودند به خشونت کشیده شد.
اما نحوه ی پخش اخبار این حوادث در صدا و سیمای ایران جالب توجه بود. گوینده یکی از بخش های خبری پس از اشاره به چند درگیری در فلسطین و چند انفجار در عراق، اینگونه اخبار نا آرامی های برمه را منعکس کرد:
«عده ای از وابستگان به کشورهای خارجی سعی کردند نا آرامی هایی را در کشور برمه ایجاد نمایند که با دخالت دولت مواجه شدند. شورشیان از سوی دولت های غربی و امریکا حمایت می شوند.»
در بخش های دیگر هم کمترین اشاره ای به حکومت نظامیان در برمه و سرکوب آزادی خواهان و هوادارن دموکراسی در آن کشور می شد. شاید علت این ماجرا نام و نحوه این حرکت بود: انقلاب زعفرانی که مورد حمایت غربی هاست.
ما از کره شمالی و سوریه حمایت می کنیم چون با آمریکا دشمنی می کنند. از چچن و مسمانان بالکان حمایت نمی کنیم چون آمریکا حامی آنهاست. این دوگانگی شامل حال فلسطینی ها هم می شود.
تا جایی که آشکارا در تلاش حکومت خودگردان و ابومازن برای دستیابی به صلح کار شکنی می شود و حماس را علیه آنها تحریک می کنیم. در این شرایط دم از عدالت و صلح جهانی زدن کمی مضحک خواهد بود.

Translation:
Today was Quds day. In some ways, today is a symbol of supporting Palestinians to achieve their human rights. Maybe this day has become the victim of political game and has lost its true meaning. On the other hand, there is this question that why this day does not have credit even among the residence of West Bank or Gaza. However, the subject of this article is not about Palestine or Day of Quds or what is a humane way to achieve Palestinian goals. The subject is a look at freedom and justice.

During the time that all media (Iranian Medias) are covering stories about how “oppressed” the Palestinians are, there is another event taking place on the other side of Asia. The monks of Burma, tired of decades of military dictatorship with a peaceful move started pouring to the streets to show their dissatisfaction with lack of democracy in their nation. This movement that continued for several days was ended by clashes between the military personnel and hundreds of the monks. However what is interesting is the way that Iranian News Agencies released this news. The news anchor, after talking about clashes in Palestine and several explosions in Iraq, he reported the clashes like this:

“Some of the people who are depended on foreign agents tried to disturb the peace in Burma and they were confronted with government interference. These thugs are supported by Americans and Westerners.”

In other national news segments, it is less likely that they would refer anything to Marshal Law in Burma and violent oppression of the protesters. Maybe the reason behind this event is the name or the style of this movement: Saffron Revolution that is supported by Westerners.

We support North Korea and Syria because they are enemies of the U.S. We do not support Muslims of Chechnya and Balkans because Americans support them. This split of choice works for Palestinians too.

This goes to extend that we openly do anything to jeopardize Abbas’s attempts to achieve peace by manipulating Hamas against them. In these situations, speaking about Justice and world peace is kind of ridiculous.

When Jews Suffer, Others Celebrate!

Today was a sad day for Jews. Two Kassam Rockets hit and wounded 66 Israeli soldiers. (Click here for the full story). This happens while our beloved Prime Minister Olmert met with Palestinian leader Abbas. Someone needs to smack this idiot and say 66 of your sons are wounded and you are meeting with Palestinian leader to discuss “Peace”! What the hell is wrong with this idiot? Has he gone senile already? Olmert cannot make peace with these idiots unless he clears Gaza from terrorists just like Mofaz did to West Bank in Defensive Shield. Israel needs to hit Gaza and go house by house and take these terrorists out. Other than that, events like this will be routine in every day lives of residents of Serdot. One blow, one mission, and give the control back to Palestinians. However, it might backfire and make Hamas popular again. According to latest pole if elections were held today in Gaza, Fatah would win by a landslide. However a mission to take out Hamas and Islamic Jihad is needed in order to prevent an event like this to be repeated again.

Now, the terrorist apologists are celebrating the casualties that Israel has suffered. This shows their true animalistic and barbaric nature. This is what you would observe only in people and causes who identify suicide bombing a form of "justice" and "resistance". Just like 9/11 when Palestinian celebrated the death of Americans, these idiots are doing the same thing which is celebrating the suffering of Israelis. It is nothing new. It is kind of ironic to see them celebrate on the eve of aniversary of 9/11. Acts like this are in their nature and nature of the causes they support. Funny part is that these terrorist apologists try to advertise their cause as the "justice forgoten" or “humanitarian” causes. Well, I never knew being barbaric is considered to be "just". You could look at the bright side of this event and say that at least no one got killed. To me that is a miracle. Let the terrorist apologists celebrate, yet this picture is the best answer I could give them.

Update:
Hamas is calling this even a “divine victory”. Click here for the story. I guess this is just like the “divine victory” that Hezbollah had. What’s with these groups claiming “divine victories” for every event? Actually, it more resembles a miracle for Israel. The rocket came in the middle of the camp where they were all sleeping and not a single person was killed. If that is not a miracle I don’t know what is.

Palestinians’ Path to Self-Destruction-Courtesy of Islamic Republic of Iran!

This is it! Palestinians finally blew it! Israel pulls out of Gaza and their response to such a move is to elect a terrorist group. Ok, you have elected a terrorist organization as your representative and then you ask the international community to not view you as terrorists. International community finally bowed down to your demand and finally gave you the money as you claim that you rightfully deserve. Then with all that, you start killing your own! I am really appalled by the pictures and new coming out of Gaza Strip. I believe Iran’s work in this region is flawless. It has destroyed Palestinian unity and it has destroyed any chance of peace in this region. I wrote an article a while ago regarding Palestinian submit in Mecca. I think I was right!

Many people, including a lot of anti-Semitic conspiracy theorists will point finger toward Israel. I have said that Palestinian brother killing will never benefit Israel. Israel needs Palestinian to be united in order to pursue and achieve a final agreement and bring peace to this region. This violence will spill over to Israel and Israel will have to take action. Israel does not want to go back or even conduct an assault in Gaza Strip because it will be very messy with heavy Israeli casualties. I am predicting now and you could mark my word on it, this violence will spill over and Israel is going to enter Gaza and execute an operation bigger than Defensive Shield.

What we are observing today is not a peculiar phenomenon in Palestinian history as a group of people. Any place they have gone to, they were unable to get along with the locals as soon as they acquired some power. Remember Jordan and Lebanon!?! This situation is not any different either. Another important factor in this brother killing is the role of Iran. Iran is executing the same plan that they have utilized in Iraq which is “divide and conquer”. In Iraq, they arming both Shiites and Sunnis just to keep the civil war going. They are even arming Afghan fighters to create another Iraq in Afghanistan. Iranian footsteps are very apparent in this fighting too. They are pushing Hamas into an internal fighting. This will directly serve their interest which is more war, destruction, and dislocated and unsatisfied citizens. That will make the job of recruiting for terrorist group a lot easier and at the same time justifies the existence of such terrorist groups. We will see that a new terrorist group will emerge such as Islamic Jihad that will come in and bring stability to the region. It will allow Iran to have a direct control in the region because this new group will take orders only from Iran. They executed the same plan in Lebanon and Hezbollah turned out to be the group who delivered the Peace that Lebanese were desperate for. Now, we’ll see the same situation in Gaza strip and maybe West Bank.


The future for Palestinians has a very dark nature. However, no matter how much Iranians are trying to create trouble in the region to take the focus of international community off their nuclear program, they are dead wrong. The future for Iran is not any better than Palestinian future. They might try to keep creating chaos in this region to keep U.S busy to ignore Iran’s actions; however it will not discourage U.S and its allies to not allow such an evil country to reach its satanic nuclear ambitions. Palestinians need to wake up and choose a peaceful path for their future, or they will face a disaster with unforeseeable and destructive magnitude that they have never seen before.
