Iron Dome's record

The opening day statistic for Iron Dome is three for four when Iron Dome intercepted rocket fired from Gaza for first time. (give it a shot).  Until now, Israelis believed that Iron Dome would stop any rocket that was going to hit anything. On Tuesday night, it was reported that two Kassam rockets had been shot into Israel and that one of them hit a house. But Israel Radio reported on its 2:00 am newscast that two Kassams and a mortar shell were shot into Israel on Tuesday night, but "no one was injured and there was no damage reported." Gaza terrorists who spoke to Weinberger said they plan to continue with rocket attacks despite the deployment of the Iron Dome system, which shoots short-range rockets out of the air. “The Israelis are using a lot of money for this defense, but during the last rocket attacks, our rockets made it through,” explained Abu Hamza, a senior Islamic Jihad terrorist

Former Czech PM Faces Criminal Charges for Criticising Islam

“The enemy is the anti-civilisation spreading from North Africa to Indonesia.
Two billion people live in it and it is financed partly from oil sales and partly from drug sales.”
Milos Zeman, Former Czech Prime Minister

I was just amused about this guy the other day because it says he is a Leftist ...Former Czech Prime Milos Zeman may face criminal charges for calling Islam an ”anti-civilization” enemy whose type of thinking he compared with the Nazis.

Speaking at an international conference on Europe last month, Zeman stated, “The enemy is the anti-civilization spreading from North Africa to Indonesia. Two billion people live in it and it is financed partly from oil sales and partly from drug sales.” The former prime minister, who is known for strong statements and insulting speeches, last week compared the manner and strength of Muslim beliefs in the Koran with the followers of Nazism, who he noted believed in racial supremacy and anti-Semitism. He also asserted that Islam is more aggressive and intolerant than other religions. Zeman was prime minister of the Czech Republic from 1998 until 2002 and transformed a weak Czech Social Democratic Party into one of the country’s major parties along with the Civic Democratic Party. via undhimmi.com

Court gives state 60 days to explain Boycott Law

The Boycott Bill, which passed by a majority of 47 to 38, stipulates that anyone calling for an economic, cultural or academic boycott against the Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria will be unable to participate in government tenders. In addition, any person who considers himself a victim of a boycott could sue the boycotter for compensation. A ‘Panels’ Institute poll for the Knesset Channel concludes that 52% of Israeli population support the new bill, and 31% oppose it. 43% are of the opinion that the bill will diminish world opinion of Israel, and 39% believe that the bill will have no such effect.  Justice Salim Joubran of the High Court of Justice has ordered the state to answer within 60 days a petition by Gush Shalom against the Boycott Law, passed Monday by the Knesset. The new law stipulates that anyone boycotting any company or organization in Israel will be subject to fines and pay compensation to the plaintiff. American sources say this is an internal issue for Israel, but then mentioned that freedom of expression is an element of Democracy. So I guess then the Obama administration would have no problem with cross burnings on the White House lawn.

How Israeli lawyers stopped the second flotilla

Only one boat of all the flotilla vessels has managed to depart Greece: a Gilligan's Island-style motor yacht with nine activists aboard. says David Frum at the National Post

...Activists were brought to court on charges of leaving port without a permit and obstructing the coast guard in the course of its duties. (Two of the activists had descended from the Tahrir in kayaks to interpose themselves between the coast guard vessel and the freighter.)  (Paddling at dusk ... watching the sunset at the northern entrance to Santorini, Greece.
