Posted by Molly Livingstone on Monday, January 9, 2017The celebrations continue for the second night after the terrorist attack. Fireworks and 4 molotov cocktails aimed at soldiers, that stand by and do not retaliate. There is also fire in the street. What you don’t see? The homes to the right, that must hear the fireworks, like bombs, night after night, children can’t sleep and wake up to the reality of hate. Did you see this on the news? How can you form an opinion when they hide the truth? Please share and let the world know that celebration, violence and harm continue. #israeliliviesmatter #truth #ArmonHanatziv
In case you were wondering that is not an Arab wedding celebration, but rather a celebration for the “successful attack against the Zionist occupier.”
In a few days time the nations of the world are set to attempt to force Israel to make peace with the Arabs living in Judea, Samaria, and Jerusalem, but if the “Palestinians” celebrate the murder of young Jews no peace should ever be expected.
Local resident Molly Livingstone posted on her Facebook feed:
“Fireworks and 4 molotov cocktails aimed at soldiers, that stand by and do not retaliate. There is also fire in the street.”
With the country still seething over the Military Tribunal’s conviction of Sgt. Elor Azaria for shooting a terrorist who was perceived to be subdued, Deputy Defense Minister Eli Ben-Dahan has proposed a new bill protecting soldiers from criminal convictions is found in similar situations.
According to the bill, security forces shall not “bear criminal responsibility, nor be interrogated with a warning and will be immune from any legal proceedings due to actions they carried out or refrained from carrying out, and all before, after, and during an operational activity or terrorist attack that was not part of the day-to-day operational activities of the unit in which he/she works or serves.”
The soldier can still lose his or her immunity under the bill by abusing the bill’s mandate. “Any soldier accused of looting, destruction of property, accepting bribes, bullying or sexual offenses would not be immune to criminal prosecution.”
In a statement given to The Jerusalem Post, Ben-Dahan said that “the law sends a clear message to IDF soldiers that just as they protect us, we are protecting them.”
“The law allows IDF soldiers [to] perform their duties in defending the State of Israel fearlessly and with no concern of potential criminal prosecution while providing a stipulation which allows for the removal of the immunity if violations of the rules occur,” Ben-Dahan added. “In recent years we have seen too many soldiers and commanders suffer from a delay of justice, with long trials, and then finally be acquitted just because there are no clear legal or ethical statements that we are protecting them while they carry out their duties. As someone who served as a major in the army I’m sure it will help our soldiers. I have no doubt that MKs will support the law. “
The importance of Ben-Dahan’s proposed bill cannot be understated. With Azaria being thrown in jail for an action that could easily happen to any combat soldier, the government needs to find a way that young combat soldiers do not lose morale and the ability to defend themselves in dangerous situations out of fear of being prosecuted.
Israel has decided to retaliate against the UN over UNSC 2334 by freezing $6 million of its annual $40 million dues.
“It is unreasonable for Israel to fund bodies that operate against us at the UN. The UN must end the absurd reality in which it supports bodies whose sole intent is to spread incitement and anti-Israel propaganda,” Danny Danon, Israel’s ambassador to the UN said.
Given that the UN is gearing up for more anti-Israel resolutions, Israel’s move to cut money is just the first of many measures prepared in the coming weeks to fight back against the international community’s assault on the Jewish state.
Kerry: Moving US Embassy could cause ‘explosion’ in Middle East
Along with the the UN, the outgoing US secretary of state John Kerry has attacked Donald Trump’s planned move of the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
“If all of a sudden, Jerusalem is declared to be the location of our embassy, that has issues of sovereignty, issues of law that would deem to be affected by that move and by the United States acquiescing in that move and that would have profound impact on the readiness of Jordan and Egypt to be able to be supportive and engaged with Israel as they are today,” Kerry said.
With January 20th just around the corner, both the US administration and the UN are working together to prepare the groundwork for one last diplomatic push that could permantently harm Israel. This political pressure is exactly what the Republicans in the congress rebuked and censured in their Thursday vote against the UNSC.
A Jordanian govenment spokesman, speaking to the Associated Press warned President-Elect Donald Trump that his planned move of the US Embassy to Jerusalem is “crossing a redline” and will be “catostrophic.”
Momani, the Jordanian minister, said that moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem “will have catastrophic implications on several levels, including the regional situation.” He said countries in the region would likely “think about different things and steps they should take in order to stop this from happening.”
“It will definitely affect the bilateral relationship between countries in the region, including Jordan, and the parties that will be related to such a decision,” he said.
As January 20th draws closer, the Middle East awaits hisDonald Trump’s policy, which by all indications will be decidely pro-Israel. In fact Last month, Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway was quoted as saying that moving the embassy to Jerusalem is a “very big priority” for the president-elect.
Jordan is a Make Believe Country
One of the reasons why Jordan is afraid of Trump’s move is that the Kingdom is actually carved out of the original Palestinian Mandate as a gift to the Hussein family for their support of the British in World War One. The King and his family are originally from what is today the Arabian penninsula. His control over Islamic holy sites in Jerusalem is the only thing that gives him gravitas in the Muslim world.
Any solidification of Israel’s control over the Jewish capital of Jerusalem would reveal that the King of Jordan is a paper tiger with no real power. He is propped up by American tax payer dollars and Israeli security forces. Without them, he would have fallen to the majority Palestinian populace he brutally controls a long time ago.
