Israel Thanks Canada for Defense at G8 Summit
by Chana Ya'ar - Arutz Sheva
Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman made sure to pick up the phone and call his counterpart in Ottawa this weekend to thank him for Canada's stance at the G8 summit last week.
Lieberman told John Baird, who recently came into the post, that Canada is a “true friend of Israel.”
Israel's foreign minister added that Prime Minister Stephen Harper had been correct in his reading of the situation to know that the 1967-1949 Armistice lines are incompatible with the demographic realities in the Jewish State – and are indefensible as borders.
Harper blocked the G8 from issuing statements with any mention of the recommendation, stated by U.S. President Barack Obama in his Middle Eastern policy speech a week prior.
Although G8 leaders called for peace talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority in the group's final communique issued Friday in Deauville, France, the “1967 lines” were not included.
A day later, the Arab League issued its own communique, stating it would support the Palestinian Authority's refusal to return to any negotiations.
Instead, the Arab League will back a bid by the PA to appeal directly to the United Nations for recognition of a new Arab country called “Palestine” in Gaza, Judea and Samaria with much of Jerusalem as its capital – including many areas where Jews currently live and work.
The “peace process follow up committee” at the Doha meeting in Qatar said it would request membership for the “State of Palestine” at the U.N. General Assembly meeting in New York in September. Qatar is set to chair that meeting, according to the current rotation.
As Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu pointed out in his speech to the U.S. Congress last week, there are more than half a million Israelis, most of whom are Jewish, living in the areas claimed by the PA.

Peace Partners?
As the world is subjected to a hail of propaganda from Arabs regarding the 1948 “disaster” inflicted upon them by the creation of the state of Israel, Arab press watchdog MEMRI has released a video that places the Arab claims in perspective.
In the video, a 92-year-old Arab woman, originally from Hevron, glowingly recalls on Hamas-Gaza TV how the Arabs of Hevron, including her father, without provocation, massacred the peaceful Jewish neighbors they had lived beside for years in 1929 – almost 20 years before the 1948 War of Independence. Needless to say, there was no State of Israel then, no IDF, no "occupation" etc.
In an orgy of sadistic violence on August 24, 1929, 67 of Hevron's Jews were murdered. The Arabs murdered children in front of their parents, severed limbs, raped and burned people alive.
The British High Commissioner in the Land of Israel, Sir John Chancellor, published a statement following the massacre, saying,
I have learned with horror of the atrocious acts committed by bodies of ruthless and bloodthirsty evil-doers, of savage murders perpetrated upon defenseless members of the Jewish population regardless of age or sex, accompanied as at Hebron, by acts of unspeakable savagery, of the burning of farms and houses in town and country and of the looting and destruction of property.
These crimes have brought upon their authors the execration of all civilized peoples throughout the world.

IDF Spokesman, Capt. Avichai Adraee Interviewed on Hamas Rocket Fire
This interview, conducted during the 2008 Operation Cast Lead with IDF Spokesman Capt. Avichai Adraee on Al Jazeera News, rings just as true today as in 2008.
This is the way Israel needs to handle such situations and accusations. With firm conviction and with truth. And in the words of Caroline Glick - "It's time to stand up for yourself!!"

Kassam Attacks, Air Force Retaliation Explode ‘Ceasefire’ Report
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu.
Three Kassam and Grad missile attacks, followed by Air Force retaliation, exploded another “ceasefire” report near noon Sunday, while Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu again threatened Hamas.
Following the Sunday morning rocket attacks, which did not cause injuries, the Israel Air Force struck terrorist targets in northern Gaza, according to Hamas. The Iron Dome system failed to intercept a Grad missile that was headed for Ashkelon, Army Radio reported. The missile apparently missed its mark and exploded in an open area.
In remarks before the weekly Cabinet meeting Sunday, the Prime Minister repeated warnings to Hamas that Israel will retaliate with “strong force” if the terrorist organization continues to attack Israeli civilians and soldiers.
Media in the Palestinian Authority reported that a ceasefire agreement was reached Saturday night through the mediation of a United Nations mediator, but none of the terrorist groups in Gaza officially announced a truce.
The Bethlehem-based Ma'an news agency reported that U.N. special coordinator for the Middle East Robert Serry “managed to reach a ceasefire agreement late Saturday between Israel and Palestinian factions in Gaza.” Besides Hamas’ objection to Israel being allowed to prevent “ticking bomb” terrorist cells from firing rockets, the Islamic Jihad terrorist organization did not agree to the Hamas proposal.
According to a Hamas spokesman, a ceasefire specifically means that Israel cannot target terrorist cells preparing to launch rocket attacks on Israelis.
The “calm in return for calm” formula depends on Hamas stopping all attacks, but the Grad and Kassam missile attacks on Sunday made it clear that any truce is likely to fail or be short-lived, just as all other similar announcements were proven to be false.

Egypt revolution turns more Islamic, more anti-Israel
Sunday, April 10, 2011 | Ryan Jones
For those who thought the Egyptian revolution is done and past, think again. Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak may be gone, but the country is currently being ruled by a temporary military regime, which means there are various forces still vying for future control of the Middle East’s largest military power.
And with the world’s attention now diverted elsewhere, the revolution in Cairo is starting to take on a more overtly Islamic and anti-Israel flavor.
Over the weekend, Cairo’s Tahrir Square again filled with angry demonstrators who are still waiting for their full list of demands to be met. Among them was the Muslim Brotherhood, which last week officially announced its intention to take part, as a group, in renewed anti-government protests.
As the demonstration turned increasingly hostile, Egyptian soldiers opened fire, reportedly killing two demonstrators and wounding another 15, according to Cairo hospital officials. The army denied firing live ammunition at the crowd.
Not content with protesting their own new government, the demonstrators also marched on the Israeli embassy in Cairo. Gathered at the gates of the Israeli mission, the angry mob demanded that Egypt cut all ties to the Jewish state and stop supplying Israel with natural gas. They also wanted the Israeli flag flying atop the embassy to be removed.
