John Kerry – the man trying to save Hamas by bullying Israel (destroyed)

By Erik Zimerman On July 29, 2014 · 1 Comment · In Against the Wind, Joab's Men

Article Sections Obama could have hardly found a more willing partner than John Kerry, to find form to his virulently anti-Israel policies. From the “creative” backdoor sanctions, using the FAA to attempt to close Israel to air traffic (reported earlier in this article), to traditional massive political pressure and the UN security council, Kerry has thrown everything the administration can muster at Israel in order to stop the IDF from achieving its objectives and defeating the terrorist regime next door. Though Israel can handle Hamas, as Danny Dannon recently stated, it needs a “ceasefire from Obama’s attacks”. The American people are friends and allies of Israel. This friendship is only surpassed by the level of friendship the Israeli people feel for the Americans. America will not find Israel among its critics, even when it blows up weddings in Afghanistan with drones killing 70 people at a time. The American people, are not only Israel’s supporters and friends, but they are far from either to Hamas. And not because they are Arabs or Muslim, but because they are Islamist terrorists. The stated US policy is not only to confront terrorist organizations wherever they may be of course, and never to negotiate [...]

Murdered Children, Kassam rockets, Israel’s lack of deterrence and the Opportunity

By Erik Zimerman On July 9, 2014 · 3 Comments · In Avvisi, Joab's Men

As reservist call-ups are going out every hour, and a Gaza operation is in the air, in response to an endless barrage of missiles from Hamas, I set my pen down to some thoughts, before possibly finding a keyboard and an internet connection luxuries quite out of reach. And so, a few intermixed subjects must be explored within the piece, hopefully the reader will not mind. Within a day of the kidnappings of the three youths, being announced, I posted the following article. Of course along with all Israel, I prayed and hoped for the safe return of our young boys. At the dawn of their lives, innocent, full of life, students. It was not to be, since they were murdered in cold blood by Hamas thugs. Within the article was correct analysis about Hamas being behind the attack, the likelihood that the boys entered a stolen Israeli vehicle willingly having been tricked, and the importance of the victim’s cell phones in the investigation among other details all before any of this information had been released. This for no other reason than the fact that I know our people, and I know our enemies. Their nature one that the [...]

Election Ploys Over – Israel goes back to Evicting Jews from Judea

By Erik Zimerman On February 14, 2013 · Add Comment · In Avvisi, Joab's Men

This is the story of the beautiful Jewish village of Ma’ale Rehava’am. One had to read and re-read the headlines just a few weeks ago when the Netanyahu government ordered the removal of palestinian activists from the illegal tent city they had built (named Bab Al-Shams) in the E1 corridor connecting Jerusalem and Ma’aleh Adumim. Even though this was not really a real settlement of any kind, but rather a protest circus, it is hard to recall Israel ever removing any Arab from anywhere. It is true, Israel sometimes deals harshly (as it should) with people involved in terrorism (and has in the past bulldozed their residences), but despite common perception to the contrary, peaceful Arabs live in a sort of legal utopia in the West Bank. This is especially true in Area C (under Israeli jurisdiction), while those under Palestinian Authority rule are often victim of their own government’s abuses; Gaza being a case in point. Those under Israeli jurisdiction however, enjoy all the services and security provided by the Israeli government (they frequently call Israeli police in any dispute they have with other Arabs or Jews) including electricity, water, transportation and infrastructure while bearing none of the responsibilities [...]

Tel-Aviv has been hit – It’s on Now

By Erik Zimerman On November 15, 2012 · 2 Comments · In Avvisi, Joab's Men

You may bomb Sderot, Ashkelon and Beer Sheba in the South freely, you may bomb Haifa in the North all you want, and still Israel will usually respond with no more than the ironic “We will not tolerate (yet we are tolerating) ..” But if you bomb Tel-Aviv, home of Israel’s left and ruling elite who are all too willing to give away the rest of the tiny nation as long as they are left alone, then you invoke a massive response. Just Yesterday, I warned about the growing confidence of Hamas controlled Gaza with a supportive Egypt under the Muslim Brotherhood. Today, the seriousness of my warning was shown with an Egyptian ambassador recalled and Hamas launching Iranian missiles at Tel-Aviv. We must keep in mind, that while they have dared to go further than before, note that they also show their overall inability and weakness. With all the rage in the world, and one of its leaders dead, all Hamas can do alone is lob a few rockets aimlessly at Tel-Aviv. Israel is not wiped out as they warned. When danger actually hits the streets of Tel-Aviv, their response is much like Edward the Longshank’s portrayal in Braveheart If [...]
