Monday morning Israel scorecard

Hamas wins: The Islamists are gloating. Even Barry Rubin says that Hamas won this round. And Israel’s enemies are encouraged and emboldened by this victory. Watch for worse to come.

Lebanon is back in the game: The Lebanese “aid” flotilla is on its way. In order to bypass UNSCR 1701, they’re going to stop in Cyprus first. Why? Well, I’m not really sure. I believe this is what they call “the cover story.” UNIFIL has been contacted about the ship, but seriously—UNIFIL? Stop the Lebanese from doing anything? Shyeah—because it’s not like Hezballah hasn’t rearmed right under UNIFIL’s nose or anything.

The AP whitewashes: I told you yesterday that the AP would whitewash the man behind the Lebanese “aid” flotilla. Well, they did. Here’s what they call him: “Yasser Kashlak, a Syrian of Palestinian origin who heads the group organizing the trip- the Free Palestine Movement.”

Here’s what Kashlak said this weekend:

‘Get on the ships we are sending you and go back to your lands. Don’t let the moderate Arab leaders delude you, [you] cannot make peace with us. Our children will return to Palestine, you have no reason for coexistence. Even if our leaders will sign a peace agreement, we will not sign.’”

The AP doesn’t seem to have asked Kashlak about that in its interview with him. Color me unsurprised.

Iran beats the inspectors, again: Iran refuses to let IAEA inspectors in the country again. Why would a nation that is pursuing peaceful nuclear power keep on trying to confound nuclear inspections? Hm. Let’s think. So it can speed up work on the nuclear bomb it wants to drop on Israel?

Yeah, this week is a definite loser for Israel.

    Thw onlky things that makes any –even the smallest amount of sense to me is this: Netenyahu is praying with every once of energy in his boyd–thyat Republicans win very big in novermber. And, on a long distance prayer in 2012. Also who ever is president is a conservative pro-Israe, not a GWB type.

    Dubya was about as good as it is going to get for Israel any time in the near future. Bibi had better pray for a W-clone as far as foreign policy goes.
