We're giving them 3 billion dollars a year to support this regime and Obama
has promised between 1 and 2 billion in additional military funding each
year so that Israel will stop fighting the Iran deal. There has been no
rebuilding in Gaza. Many Gazans are so angry at Hamas for agreeing for
things to remain at the status quo by signing a cease fire with Israel that
they are turning to ISIS members who have infiltrated into Gaza. And to
complicate the situation even more, Israel has joined with Saudi Arabia to
support ISIS in Syria because Israel wants to eliminate the current Syrian
government.

Gotta keep them Terrorists under control. Flipping the Bird should also be
a sign that the Flipper is a Terrorist. And watch their eyes.
That hostile look might well turn into an attack. Israel might also want to
be wary of smiling strangers, and babies who might be wired with explosives
in their diapers. Maybe Israel could develop a secret code word so they can
tell the Terrorists from the Good Guys. But then that wouldn't work,
because once it was spoken the secret would be out. Gads! Protecting the
People from Terrorists is hard work.

The Israeli Parliament has approved a tough law that could send people
to prison for up to 20 years for throwing rocks at moving vehicles.
Palestinian
activists and officials have condemned the law as "repressive" and
"racist."
Al-Jazeera explains:
"This law is not about stone-throwing. It is about repressing any form
of Palestinian resistance or protest to Israeli colonization and
Ali Abunimah, co-founder of the Electronic Intifada website that runspunishment,"
articles and resources on [the] Palestinian struggle, said in an
interview on Tuesday.
He said that while Israel continues to target Palestinians, shooting
deaths of Palestinian protesters were committed "with absolutely no
consequences whatsever".
Late on Monday, Israeli lawmakers voted 69 to 17 to increase the
punishments, approving legislation proposed after a wave of
Palestinian protests last year in East Jerusalem.
Qadura Fares, head of the Palestinian Prisoner Club, an organization
that advocates on behalf of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails,
said the new law was "racist".
"This law is hateful and contradicts the most basic rule that the
punishment fit the offense," he said.
Arab lawmaker Jamal Zahalka accused the parliament of hypocrisy,
saying stone throwing is an answer to abuses by Israeli security forces.
He said: "You are picking on the person responding to major injustices."
Under the law, stone throwers could face 10 years in prison, and up to
20 years if it is determined that they intended to seriously harm the
occupants in a vehicle.
"Tolerance toward terrorists ends today. A stone-thrower is a
terrorist and only a fitting punishment can serve as a deterrent and just
