Just as we saw in January, Hamas is artificially producing a situation in Gaza that hurts its own civilians in order to put pressure on Israel.  The following is an official report from the Coordination and Liaison Administration, which is in charge of the crossings from Gaza into Israel:

The Hamas organization is staging a situation of crisis and distress, and harming the civilian population in the Gaza Strip in an attempt to divert pressure onto Israel.
Colonel Nir Press, Head of the Coordination and Liaison Administration: “The State of Israel has permitted the steady and continuous flow of fuel into the Gaza Strip in recent weeks.”

2,200,000 liters of diesel fuel are transferred through the Nahal Oz fuel terminal to the Gaza Strip power plant weekly. This power plant is capable of supplying 30% of the total electricity requirements of the Gaza Strip. The remaining power needs are supplied by Israel and Egypt. In addition, unlimited quantities of cooking gas, 800,000 liters of diesel fuel for transportation and 75,000 liters of gasoline are transferred weekly.

On Feb. 28, Israeli and American celebrities rallied at a benefit concert in Los Angeles for the rocket-weary citizens of Sderot. We heard from A-listers including Sylvester Stallone, Jon Voight and Valerie Harper, as well as comedian Larry Miller and Israeli singer Ninet Tayeb, plus special video messages from our Presidential candidates, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John McCain. Teenagers from Sderot were flown over for the concert in a bid to highlight the daily suffering that Gaza militants cause through Qassam attacks on the Negev town.

From today’s Journal:

The Israeli Lesson
February 5, 2008; Page A16
The news about yesterday’s suicide bombing in the Israeli town of Dimona is that it’s news. In 2002, at the height of the second intifada, 451 Israelis were killed in terrorist attacks, including 14 suicide bombings. By contrast, yesterday’s attack, which killed one and injured 11, was the first of its kind in more than a year.

This didn’t happen by accident, or because Palestinian radicals have somehow become less hostile to Israel. Responsibility for yesterday’s attack was claimed by the Al Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade, which is affiliated with President Mahmoud Abbas’s ostensibly moderate Fatah party. Islamist Hamas remains even more ardently dedicated to Israel’s destruction, a point it emphasizes with its rocket barrages at southern Israeli cities close to the Gaza Strip.

Instead, the difference has come because of Israel’s increasingly successful antiterrorist efforts. Key to that success has been the construction of its ostensibly “illegal” security fence, its equally “illegal” targeted assassinations of key terrorist leaders, its “disproportional” attacks on terrorist enclaves in Jenin and elsewhere, and other actions that saved innocent lives but which much of the international community deplored.

One of the most common arguments against Israel’s actions is that it would feed a “cycle of violence.” It’s fair to say that what happened is closer to the opposite. As Israel put pressure on terrorist leaders, they were forced to spend their time running for their lives rather than planning the next attack. As Israel set up physical obstacles to terrorism, the need for large-scale military incursions declined, allowing a semblance of normal life to return for Israelis as well as Palestinians. Contrary to the conventional wisdom, Israel proved that terrorists can be defeated — a lesson that applies equally in Iraq.

Someone should tell these guys that all you have to do is open the curtains if they need light. What’s most upsetting is the major wire serivces sold this picture as authentic.

Unfortunately, on the 24th of September vandals painted swastikas on synagogues in Brooklyn. The Israeli Foreign Minister, Tzipi Livni, had a chance to express her appreciation to the NYPD for all their efforts investigating the case. NYPD Commissioner Raymond Kelly joined the FM in Brooklyn to make a joint statement against these hateful instances, as well as receive blessings for the holiday of Succoth.

As part of the week long political jubilee known as the UN GA, usually the most interesting and important meetings take place behind the scenes, and this week has been no exception.

Here’s some exclusive footage of today’s protest outside the UN against Iran’s Holocaust denying President Ahmadinejad where our Foreign Minister spoke out. As you can see, thousands of Americans descended on the UN to voice their distaste for this hatemonger. In case you didn’t know, not only does he deny the Holocaust ever happened, and wishfully expresses the destruction of the entire Jewish State, but has overseen one of the most severe crack downs on civil liberties in Iran’s modern history.
