The meeting of the Knesset on aliya and absorption was devoted to ways of explaining Israel’s position with the help of the Internet, particularly in light of the YouTube website publicized photos from a place of inhuman murders in Itamar. YouTube clearly discriminates against Israel. In fact, to remove from the site of film “Jihad” and “Al Qaeda” they take a few months, and two video that promotes the murder of Israelis, and praising the suicide bombers are open for visitors to peruse YouTube, said at a meeting of the IDF spokesman and journalist, chief editor of “Latma” Caroline Glick. The owner of YouTube, the company GOOGLE: “We do not accept one or another political position; YouTube is not the author of publications available on the site, but only a platform representing them accessible to the public.” Chairman of the Board member Danny Danon (Likud): “We are dealing with monsters that have lost every human person. The methods of illumination and clarification of the Israeli position to take a more aggressive character. Must understand that we in the Middle East, not in Switzerland, and talk and must conduct themselves according to local rules. ” During the meeting, Lt. Col. Avital Leibovich of the IDF’s press service stated that “during” Operation Cast Lead “on YouTube have been posted about 120 videos, almost all of which were dropped from the height of the aircraft, so that it is impossible to claim that they represented a any damage to visitors. In just 12 hours 4 of them were filmed edited site under Arab pressure, and only after a long discussion and phone calls we managed to persuade them to publish the survey. During the trip the flotilla to Gaza from the air two surveys were also removed from the site within hours – a record for that time. ” Glick pointed out that “the idea must be clear and must accept the fact that she can not please everyone. The idea is based on the fact that the Jewish people and the State of Israel – are right. Attempts to use the Israeli government’s arguments that the truth is on the side of the Palestinians, but and we too cute guys, or that we suffer from terrorism is doomed to failure and are ineffective. ” One of the leaders of the website “My Israel” Naftali Bennett said that a film about the brutality of Itamar was removed from YouTube in record time – two hours. Director of the Division of GOOGLE in Israel Doron Avni said this, “today, on the eve of launching a personal YouTube channel for each Member of Knesset, claims that we discriminate Israel, heard particularly outrageous. Visitors to our attention on these or other publications, presumably bear the negative. We do not adhere to any political party. Each of us my heart bleeds from the murder of Itamar, but Internet use and children and adolescents who are frames can cause considerable damage. We did not prepare the publication, and the only place them for general viewing. It is necessary to look at all the aspect ratio. We are cooperating with the Ministry of the Prime Minister, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Information. including the channel has been created, “Yad Vashem” in Hebrew and in Persian. ” Deputy Chairman of the Commission Danone said it would not tolerate unequal treatment, and appealed to the Centre of Intelligence and Research Knesset to prepare statistics about the number of remote pro-Israel movies from YouTube, compared to advocate violence by Palestinian Video.

Despite the fact that the tsunami in Japan occupies the front pages of news, we decided to send pictures, and leave the dilemma of foreign editors, especially those who have a good coherent relationship to the Middle East conflict.

Short message about “the death of five settlers” flashed on Arab television channels on Saturday morning. Information about who was killed and the killing, appeared on the same channels, as well as in newspapers and Web sites much later (if there was any). It’s no secret that ever since the Al-Aqsa Intifada, Palestinian and Arab media coverage of the tragic events of its kind in Israel, very different than the “at home”. Emotions are usually kept to a minimum, information and buying is not always exhaustive, because the same news sounds very different, if we omit some details, such as age of the victims and the circumstances under which they were killed. Those publications that during the intifada dare to “humanize” the death of Israeli children, adolescents, women and men bring upon themselves a flurry of violent emotions. Only after Arafat’s death in some Palestinian and Arab press (“Al-Quds”, “Al-Hayat Al-Jadida,” the Saudi “Al-Sharq al-Awsat”) and began a serious dialogue about what created the destructive power of those who praised the heroism of “martyrs”, exploding buses and supermarkets, and as “shahidizm” was a double-edged sword that struck not only Israelis but also Palestinians themselves. This was written by Dr. Iyad Sarradzh, Sari Nusseibeh, Professor, Sufian Abu-Zaid and many others. But even today, stereotypes, prejudice and demonization of the enemy image play an important role in the formation of an adequate response to this crime. The official position of Palestinian Authority Chairman Abu Mazen and Prime Minister Salam Fayyad, has officially condemned the terrorist attack in Itamar, calling it “unacceptable violence against civilians.” Abbas telephoned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to express his condolences. Fayad, for his part said that “any violence entails only violence.” Shocked many in Israel, dryish tone PA chairman, who, no doubt, would give this statement more emotional. Meanwhile, the next day in a Palestinian semi-official “Al-Hayat Al-Jadida” there were two articles whose authors have strongly condemned the crime in Itamar. Adli Sadeq journalist wrote that “this crime deserves the harshest condemnation, and not only because, as written by many, this harms the interests of these same Palestinians, but because it’s disgusting murder, contrary to human nature.” Chief editor Hafez Barghouti said that the incident “is not an act of rebellion or resistance, and, of course, heroic.” Next Barghouti draws an analogy between the murderers family and Vogel “Zionist occupiers” and calls on the Palestinians “do not stoop to their level.” Disagreements in Hamas Initially, news of the tragedy caused Itamar inspired by the reaction of the leadership of Hamas in Gaza. “It’s a natural response to Zionist crimes” – recited in the chamber, Sami Abu-Zuhri, Hamas spokesman in Gaza, but in the meantime other activists of the organization began handing out sweets in one of the areas Rafah. Information appearing on the website of Hamas (as well as “Islamic Jihad”) reported the “murder of five settlers from Itamar,” without giving any details about the killers cut the throat of three young children and their parents. The next day the Islamists tone has changed somewhat. Hamad Bitaui – one of the leaders of Hamas in Nablus – told the press that “the killing of children is unacceptable, it does not comply with Islamic norms,” and called on Palestinians to wage war with the army, not civilians. Public opinion throughout Saturday and Sunday largest Arab channels and Web sites provide only partial information about the attack. Many dry news stories in the international or pan-Arab websites accompanied by congratulations, endorsement or indifferent by stating that “in any conflict, children are killed, unfortunately.” The website of TV channel “Al Arabiya” Abu Jihad user wrote that it “is the good news of all that he could hear.” A note posted on “Al-Arabiya,” dryly reported, “the murder of a family of settlers.” However, as appeared truthful information, and then the photos from the attack, the mood has changed somewhat, particularly in the Palestinian news sites and forums. The number of people, angered by violence against children has increased dramatically after the Web sites began to appear these shots. The forum “The Palestinian dialogue,” many commentators have written that the killing of children can not be justified by anything, it’s inhuman and cruel act. User Alaa al-Din says: “Allah will punish those who committed this crime.” User Marwa says: “Lord, then child for what? That’s terrible!”. However, many Palestinians, Jordanians and Egyptians, who grew up on conspiracy theories, are convinced that the attack – the handiwork of “Mossad”. “It’s inhumane. No Palestinian could not do so. This is sure to work” inside “- wrote a user named Imad and his second in the additional comments:” The killing of children and women is forbidden in the Koran. The purpose of the crime – slander the Palestinians. “Some bloggers have decided to quote the words of Riad al-Malki, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Palestinian Authority, who said that” the Palestinians never killed children, “apparently forgetting that the history of attacks against children begins long before the Six Day War and the establishment of settlements in the West Bank and continues to this day. Other recognize the unprecedented brutality of the act, but accused the state of Israel is that it creates a situation of conflict, indulging the settlers, who create homes in the disputed territory. Others cite the names of dozens of Palestinian Children killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza and West Bank cities, pointing out that Israel and sheds blood of Palestinian children. (ZMAN.com)

Chairman of the Council of Settlements in Judea and Samaria, Dani Dayan met with ministers, members of the “Likud” and told them bluntly: “Likud” is losing credibility in the region and residents can lose the leading position in the national camp. At least a third of voters in the settlements of Judea and Samaria (the total number of which approximately 250 000) voted in the last election for the “Likud”, not to mention a couple of dozen of thousands of Judea and Samaria, a member of the party “Likud” paying contributions and actively participating in election campaigns. At a time when the “Likud” is fighting for every vote, to remain a leading party, lead the ruling coalition, the loss of voters and activists in Judea and Samaria (as well as hundreds of thousands of their relatives and friends across the country) can be a severe blow. Dani Dayan, on behalf of the settlements, in the presence of several local and regional councils, criticized the policy of the government and Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. “In fact, judging from the results, the real head of government is not Netanyahu and Ehud Barak. If this does not stop -” Likud “will lose our credibility, and after that will lose power,” – stated categorically Dani Dayan. At the meeting, to which were invited all the ministers, members of the “Likud” came not all: only Yuli Edelstein, Limor Livnat, Yuval Steinitz, as well as deputy ministers – Ayoub Kara, and Gila Gamliel. “It’s time to stop this shameful practice of” building on the Blood “: Are children must die that the government” deign “to allow the construction of several hundred apartments?” – Said Dani Dayan.

Portal 7kanal.com published March 15 article Moshe Feiglin, leader of the faction “Jewish leadership” in the “Likud” under “New Middle East without a mask,” When I was a kid, then people who hide their faces, I’ve only seen in cartoons and westerns – there any pirates and robbers. Later, when I was a reservist officer in training camp, I have seen people wearing masks, threw stones at me. For the first time concealing the face I saw the police, when they showed the actions of Russian security forces in Chechnya. That’s really never thought that one day and decide to Israeli police to hide their faces. The policeman, who holds a dangerous intruder, is not afraid to openly show his face. What are afraid of commandos, so brutally disbanded a demonstration of people-Havat Gilad (February 28, police, army, special forces destroyed three buildings there, protesting against the destruction of people (mostly women and children) were shot with plastic bullets, some were arrested.)? They hide their faces is not accidental. Behind the mask hides the one who feels his actions were wrong. Policemen are hiding behind the mask first and foremost on their own conscience. Obliterated the difference between the Western and gangster of riot police, thrown to the eviction of residents of Havat-Gilad. Both the criminals because the former violates the criminal law, and the second moral. Petty criminal commits a crime against the law. Solid criminals find a way to circumvent the law. And the biggest offenders of crimes committed by the law. Petty criminals who shoot at people, Havat Gilad, serving really big criminals who hide behind the masks have not, but for the state bureaucracy and a folder with the business. They use the law, directing it specifically against the settlers, that is, they are deliberately fomenting civil war. What is happening in Havat Gilad, is inextricably linked to the overall situation in the country. Left managed to gradually erode Jewish identity. There are no differences, no Jewish and Arab people – they proclaim. Shulamit Aloni already can afford to openly declare that its goal is reached – instead of a Jewish state here is created an impersonal “state of all its citizens,” and no one will dare anything to oppose it. Even the German homosexual, whose boyfriend was killed in Tel Aviv, was recognized by the state as a “widow.” Against all laws and regulations, he obtained a residence permit from the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Shas party and no one dared utter a word in defense and law. True, there still remained a couple of Jewish law, but in practice almost always possible to circumvent them. On the agenda of our political correctness, and the press and the judiciary unreservedly support the abstraction of the “state of all its citizens,” dictating the laws, sometimes directly opposite the laws of the Jewish state. If we do not recognize the legitimacy of a Jewish state in Eretz Israel, it is unclear what we require from the world, which also does not want to admit it. We are doing everything to undermine the Jewish identity of the state. But the serious question of legitimacy should be discussed separately, but here I just wanted to explain how it is possible to incite the security forces to the greatest patriots of our country. Our brothers, whose actions led conscience and morality. They declared “enemies of the people”, where it is allowed to shoot. Such handling is not derived from a single incorrect command given by a malicious way or another commander. No, this is a consequence of an extensive process of depersonalization that goes past thirty years, the process of remaking a Jewish state in an anonymous “state of all its citizens.” Religious Right, and no one can stop this process because of lack of confidence in their own ideology. So, if it was only a matter of confrontation between the right and left, the left would win, would remove the settlers, demolished all the settlements would be created and currently faceless “state of Tel Aviv” – edakii Middle East, Singapore, in the words of Shimon Peres. And it would not happen, because I want a national majority, no, leftists have always been a minority, but a minority with strong leadership, ideology, and with a firm sense of his own rule. And they stood against the Jewish majority, rely mainly on the strength of feeling, rather than on ideology, most of which have not been able to manage. But the left does not prevent the right, and certainly not religious. That prevents leftists – it is life itself, the facts, reality. 30 years, we honestly tried to follow the path of depersonalization, which paved the way for us left. Agreement with Egypt was signed not left and right, Menachem Begin, but he certainly would not have done it if he had a clear alternative to the ideology and if it does not put pressure on the left. Later, when he realized how the people of Israel had brought, he broke down. Since the agreement at Camp David, and especially during the Oslo agreement Israel was trying to implement the concept of “normalization” to become “all peoples” to create a “state of all its citizens,” Singapore in the Middle East. Washed these contracts – an alliance with the dictators, which we hope will make us all the work. The logic of our actions is: “It is true that neighboring nations do not like us and do not want, and they certainly are not interested to live in peace with our country. But no matter what they think ordinary people, because they were ruled by dictators. Dictator You can buy off interest in the fact that it creates the illusion of a normal life with us. This dictator will help us get rid of reminders of our history in Judea, Samaria and Gaza (which we called simply “land”). Will he get rid of the settlers, and we provide him international recognition, and then, and for endless handouts and “humanitarian aid”, he takes the trouble to conceal from us the reality that surrounds us. ” So we gave legitimacy to a corrupt tyrant, and suddenly it became clear that everyone always knew: that they have in overseas accounts are stolen from the billions of people that they used the secret services against his political opponents, and much more. Even the Jordanian Minister of Justice no longer hide the fact that the killer believes the Israeli girls a national hero, and public demands for his release. These agreements were beneficial not only to foreign dictators. In Israel, as a result of these agreements, an entire layer of reinforced its economic, political and social power. Take, for example, the energy consumed by Israel. We buy fuel from Egypt, from the very oil wells in the Sinai Peninsula which Israel discovered and developed, when the peninsula was still in our hands before we handed it over to Egypt under the Camp David accords. Just a few weeks ago, this energy came to Israel in exchange for a lot of money on this deal well profited “peacekeepers” on both sides of the border. That’s why they constantly opposed the development of oil and gas wells in our country. A whole layer has built up a political, economic and social status on these “peace” treaties. Foreign dictators profited well by supporting us the illusion of the world, but here, inside the country the situation was similar. One day, when all these illusions have left behind, no one will understand how our president could act beneath criticism, to a tee as not to understand this about a month ago, Hosni Mubarak. The press, justice system, money, generously handed out his own, and most importantly – an illusion built here “normalization” of all this is nothing more than a colossus with feet of clay, rotten foundation laid by Peres, Beilin and the left elite. I will not bore you with details, but note only that no one bothered to ask, how did Perez appeared so much money. He’s got his whole life just paid public servant. Nobody wondered why his wife when she left him, returned to her maiden name. “She could not make it permanent employment,” – he flattered the media. Perez is not the problem, it’s just the tip of a huge iceberg, crushing on Israeli society and begins to melt at an accelerated pace. Look what is happening around our country. Arab society suddenly rose. Try to convince us that all this is a purely technical problem, and that soon the gas will flow back from Egypt to Israel. But even if the supply of Egyptian gas to resume – it will not renew an illusion. 30 years tell us about the Left “window of opportunity”, but now it is closed. Illusion and exploded in Tahrir Square reveals a reality. And what we saw there, it’s posters of the crowd hated Egyptian Mubarak on his forehead is painted on Magen David … Gradually, the people of Israel will understand what the situation really, although it may take two or three years, but eventually people will realize that we have no choice. The world and there was not, and our neighbors would not reconcile with us as long as we do not fulfill our mission, for which we came here. Well, in that they are right. And our elite shooting will not help the settlers in an attempt to hide, to prove the lack of Jewish identity. From despair leftists, like a wounded animal, will stop at nothing, but nothing out of their arsenal will not help. We can offer all kinds of Arabs interim settlement program, we can promise them the Jordan Valley, and I do not know what the next great idea will try to sell Bibi Washington next month to buy at least a small reprieve. All this would not help him. Earth away from under our feet, then disappeared field where you can try to run away from yourself and play the “normalization”. Once again, we were left alone with our unique Jewish identity. The ideology of Camp David and Oslo, which held a political game in Israel, came to an end. I believe that the radical left will flee from Israel, so very popular right now in the newspaper “Haaretz” is sections on obtaining a foreign nationality and acquire assets overseas. Do not leftist sentiments to the Land of Israel, and when they realize that the Zionist project of collective assimilation buried at the state level (not right, no, but reality itself), they just get up and leave. And we, the Jewish majority will stay here for yourself and nobody else will try to impose ideas of Oslo. We must create a new vision, new horizons, which will give the flavor and meaning to our lives here. It will no longer attempt to retreat, to escape from his own Jewishness. On the contrary, it is the idea of a free Jewish state. Giving real freedom to its citizens, established in the Land of Israel, the state will give them the opportunity to adequately express their Jewish self-determination. The next generation of Israelis, led by a leader who can propose a new idea and make it happen. And the characters themselves shy and hide their faces, leaving only in cartoons and westerns.

The high cost of housing change model Israeli family – from a cell pair is gradually drifting toward the ancient clan called the Arab neighbors “Hamul.” “Humula” truth involves a much wider range of relatives – cousins, uncles, aunts – but if housing prices and everything else will grow as it is now, and Jews have a dip in the time of the Patriarchs and to have a joint common household with the distant relatives. As shown by the report of the Ministry of Housing, 6% of Israeli couples living in “free” homes, ie, parents or in apartments, bought on an “dmey mafteah”, that is qualified property, or apartment, inherited by succession. In absolute terms we are talking about 138 thousand families. The second digit can select from a number of families living on a “Hamul.” Experts of the Ministry subtracted from the total number of households (2.26 million), the number of available housing units in Israel (2.22 million) and received 40 thousand – that is how much families moved today to the parents. However, the Arab neighbors of a generic family as a rule divides the two-storey (and sometimes more) of the house, and Jews have three or four generations usually huddle in the 3-4-room apartment – for generations in the room. And what if the apartment is now necessary to spend 129 monthly salary, and the number of homeowners fell behind 10 years from 74% to 68%!
