via Israel News – Soldiers Who Called to Eliminate Terrorists Sent to Prison – JerusalemOnline.
Four Israeli soldiers were sent to prison this morning after posting facebook protest photos calling to eliminate the terrorists. The four fighters from the Haredi Nahal unit of the Yehuda Battalion of the Kafir Brigade were sent to prison for ten days because they allegedly “violated discipline.” The pictures of the soldiers declare, “Bibi, let us eliminate the terrorists.”
“The military tried to take care of an online protest in the wrong way and decided to hold the wrong soldiers accountable,” Adi Kedar, an attorney from the organization Honenu, stated. “The things that the fighters raised cause no offense. These are the best fighters and exemplary soldiers. We urge the authorities to end the military disciplinary proceedings against them and to return them as soon as possible to operational activities.”
The head of Honenu Shmuel Medad stated in response that “Israel sends her soldiers to the front, but she does not understand or wants to understand the situation so instead they judge them, punish them, and doesn’t back them up.” Medad explained that the reason for this conduct is “in order to appear nice to foreign officials, some of whom are real anti-semites, all at the expense of its soldiers.”

I guess that’s why my call for IDF input into this site went unanswered.

They are frozen in fear, indecision and weakness.

Not good for Israeli citizens!

Welcome to Obama’s ‘Hope and Change”.
July 3, 2014 at 8:29 PM
LS, Obama is not the head of Israel, Netanyahu is. America has armed Israel to the teeth. Israelis keep pointing to the great 6 day war victory and it was! Those days of glory are long gone. Today Israel is run by timid mice , not men at all.

How about some examples…
She had a deep, throaty, genuine laugh, like that sound a dog makes just before it throws up.
It was an American tradition, like fathers chasing kids around with power tools.
The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn’t.
I could go on but now is not the time. It would be in bad taste much like a hired clown at a company layoff.

If Israel is afraid to handle a little piece of real-estate like this there is no hope. http://www.pagef30.com/2010/04/how-big-is-gaza-strip-compared-to-other.html

Yet Netanyahu promised not to let Iran get nukes. What a joke!!
July 4, 2014 at 4:41 AM
You can bet ISIS, is licking its chops at a chance to take on the gang from Tel-Aviv that’s frozen in weakness and indecision.
July 4, 2014 at 4:03 PM
The Tel-Aviv follies continue as the so called Israeli leadership let their people be attacked and murdered. Netanyahu is an unmitigated failure and needs to go. He never seems to tire of bending over and taking it where the sun don’t shine. Time to strap on a set and do what should have been done a longtime ago. But I fear it might already be too late.
Those with little children may want to think about getting out of Dodge while they still can.

Avigdor LibermanFlash 90
Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman (Yisrael Beytenu) released harsh criticism against the government’s response to Hamas on Friday, amid a constant barrage of rocket fire and rumors of peace being brokered through Egypt.
“These quiet messages we send to Hamas offering a ceasefire are a huge mistake,” Liberman said Friday while visiting the city of Sderot. “Answering this [terror] with silence is a serious mistake and we in Yisrael Beytenu reject this approach.”
“How can it be that, after we have three boys kidnapped and murdered, and two consecutive weeks of rocket fire, Israel’s approach is: silence will be met with silence?” he asked. “Even while we visit here, Hamas continues to grow stronger, and produce an eight inch diameter rocket that can reach Tel Aviv and Gush Dan.”
“We must accept the reality that this is a mistake,” he added. “Instead of dealing with the problem, we are rejecting the problem.”
Liberman than laid out a plan, saying “we must first destroy the terrorist infrastructure and stop rocket production today,” noting that rockets now “are capable of reaching Netanya.”
He also proposed a ground assault.
“It is impossible to destroy terrorist infrastructures only from the air,” he dismissed. “Most of these plants for missile production are under schools, clinics, and mosques.”
“We need to get our hands on all those who committed and supported the kidnapping and murder of children,” he continued, calling for the targeting of Hamas leaders.
“That also includes the Ismail Haniyeh and Khaled Mashaal, the heads of Hamas; and all those who came out, encouraged and supported [the abduction] – and it does not matter if they sit in Qatar or Gaza,” he stated. “The money comes from Qatar – and Hamas, Khaled Mashaal and Azmi Bishara are sitting in Qatar. Bishara sits there and puts money in operations in Israel.”
Liberman added that he has high hopes for US involvement in the situation.
“I spoke with the chairman of the Subcommittee of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the U.S. Congress, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen about it,” he said. “Hamas is a terrorist organization even by American law. One of the [abducted] boys was a US citizen [Naftali Frenkel hy”d; ed.] and I hope that Congress will act against the Qataris.”
“I look forward to seeing that Jewish communities and organizations in the US have their say in this matter,” he added.
Liberman has been particularly vocal about launching another ground assault into Gaza, and even more so since the horrific abduction and murder of yeshiva students Eyal Yifrah (19), Gilad Sha’ar (16), and Naftali Frenkel (16) last month.
Earlier this week, Liberman proposed – and not for the first time – that Israel should “consider” retaking Gaza, noting that a “limited” operation in Judea and Samaria against Hamas could prove ineffective.
“We have to decide whether we are going to explore the alternative of full occupation of the Gaza Strip,” Liberman said. “We saw that a limited operation only strengthens Hamas in the end; the alternative is clear.”
Friday’s remarks surface in the wake of rumors of a ceasefire being negotiated with Hamas through Cairo, although Israel has yet to confirm those rumors.
In the meantime, several top-ranking officials have noted that Hamas’s time during the 48-hour ultimatum to stop the rocket fire is dwindling, and the IDF is preparing for a strike.

I agree. He or Yaalon are my choices.

In the end, there will be a winner and a loser. Israel, and quickly, needs to decide which one she wants to be.

U.S. Seen as Biggest Oil Producer After Overtaking Saudi Arabia

Oil pumps stand at the Chevron Corp. Kern River oil field in Bakersfield, California.
The U.S. will remain the world’s biggest oil producer this year after overtaking Saudi Arabia and Russia as extraction of energy from shale rock spurs the nation’s economic recovery, Bank of America Corp. said.
U.S. production of crude oil, along with liquids separated from natural gas, surpassed all other countries this year with daily output exceeding 11 million barrels in the first quarter, the bank said in a report today. The country became the world’s largest natural gas producer in 2010. The International Energy Agency said in June that the U.S. was the biggest producer of oil and natural gas liquids.
“The U.S. increase in supply is a very meaningful chunk of oil,” Francisco Blanch, the bank’s head of commodities research, said by phone from New York. “The shale boom is playing a key role in the U.S. recovery. If the U.S. didn’t have this energy supply, prices at the pump would be completely unaffordable.”
Oil extraction is soaring at shale formations in Texas and North Dakota as companies split rocks using high-pressure liquid, a process known as hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. The surge in supply combined with restrictions on exporting crude is curbing the price of West Texas Intermediate, America’s oil benchmark. The U.S., the world’s largest oil consumer, still imported an average of 7.5 million barrels a day of crude in April, according to the Department of Energy’s statistical arm.
U.S. oil output will surge to 13.1 million barrels a day in 2019 and plateau thereafter, according to the IEA, a Paris-based adviser to 29 nations. The country will lose its top-producer ranking at the start of the 2030s, the agency said in its World Energy Outlook in November.
“It’s very likely the U.S. stays as No. 1 producer for the rest of the year” as output is set to increase in the second half, Blanch said. Production growth outside the U.S. has been lower than the bank anticipated, keeping global oil prices high, he said.
Partly as a result of the shale boom, WTI futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange remain at a discount of about $7 a barrel to their European counterpart, the Brent contract on ICE Futures Europe’s London-based exchange. WTI was at $103.74 a barrel as of 4:13 p.m. London time.
Islamist Insurgency
“The shale production story is bigger than Iraqi production, but it hasn’t made the impact on prices you would expect,” said Blanch. “Typically such a large energy supply growth should bring prices lower, but in fact we’re not seeing that because the whole geopolitical situation outside the U.S. is dreadful.”
Territorial gains in northern Iraq by a group calling itself the Islamic State has spurred concerns that oil flows could be disrupted in the second-largest producer in the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries after Saudi Arabia. Exports from Libya have been reduced by protests, while Nigeria’s production is crimped by oil theft and sabotage.
Libya will resume exports as soon as possible from two oil ports in the country’s east after taking back control from rebels who blocked crude shipments for the past year, Mohamed Elharari, spokesman for the state-run National Oil Corp., said by phone yesterday from Tripoli.
The U.S. will consolidate its position as the world’s biggest producer in the coming months if returning Libyan supply limits the need for Saudi barrels, said Julian Lee, an oil strategist who writes for Bloomberg News First Word. The observations he makes are his own.
Record Investment
“There’s a very strong linkage between oil production growth, economic growth and wage growth across a range of U.S. states,” Blanch said. Annual investment in oil and gas in the country is at a record $200 billion, reaching 20 percent of the country’s total private fixed-structure spending for the first time, he said.
A U.S. Commerce Department decision to allow the overseas shipment of processed ultra-light oil called condensate has fanned speculation the nation may ease its four-decade ban on most crude exports. Pioneer Natural Resources Co. and Enterprise Products Partners LP will be allowed to export condensate, provided it is first subject to preliminary distillation, the companies said June 25.
The decision was “a positive first step” to dispersing the build-up of crude supply in North America, Bank of America said in a report on June 27. The U.S. could potentially have daily exports of 1 million barrels of crude, including 300,000 of condensate, by the end of the year, according to a June 25 report from Citigroup Inc.
