2. More on the Hamas marching song that has been transformed into the most popular clip in Israel, advertising the goodlife in Israel. Here is the Israeli clip with Hamas "music": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUSNCgPLhlQ It is going viral in Israel and is sung at parties, weddings and bar mitzvahs.
Here is a translation of the song into English (from Seth Tiger):
Attack! Cause mass injuries!
Go around causing shocks!
Liquidate all the Jews!
Shake Israel's security!
Undermine the Jews with every encounter!
Incinerate market-places and soldiers!

3. (from 2002) The lost chapters of Joshua
The Book of Joshua's Missing Chapters by Steven Plaut
We have discovered that there were actually several chapters in the Biblical book of Joshua that were lost for millennia and only recently rediscovered. We bring them to you here for the first time:
And after conquering many of the lands of the Canaanites, Joshua came to speak with the Lord and said unto him: Oh Lord we seem to be having failure to communicate with the Children of Israel. And the Lord asked, tell me My son, what seems to be the problem? And Joshua said to the Lord, well things were going just fine at first. We were kicking Canaanite butt right and left and they were everywhere in flight. Victory was in sight. But then the Israelites sent a delegation to them with a proposal for a change in plans. We wish to reach a compromise with the Canaanites, they told me. Yep, I know it is hard to believe, but these Children of Israel demanded that we stop the campaign to conquer our promised land and instead seek a compromise by splitting the Land of Israel fifty-fifty with the savages. They are demanding that we offer the Canaanites half of the country, including the territories holding most of the holy sites and shrines from the period of the Patriarchs.
You are not just yanking my chain here Joshua, asks the Lord.
I am serious, oh Lord. But it gets worse. These people are suggesting we let the Canaanites organize their own militias and army, right here in Jericho, Shechem and Hebron. They claim these militias will be used to suppress Canaanite radicals and terrorists. They then want the Levites to collect a tithe of 10% of the income and property of the Israelites and hand it to the Canaanites. They claim they want to try to swap land for peace with the pagans. And they even want to let the Canaanites set up altars of their own in Jerusalem after we conquer it.
Now hold your heifers here Joshua. I thought we had an understanding. I thought Moses had made it clear to these people that their job is to impose their sovereignty over the entire area I promised them! They have no right to "compromise" with My Land. They have no permission to trade "land for peace". Their job is to exercise the military option and to achieve unchallenged victory. The only compromise they are authorized to offer the Canaanites is to demand their unconditional surrender and maybe allow them to hold commuting day jobs as cutters of wood and drawers of water.
Hey, I am on Your side, oh Lord, answers Joshua. But what can I do? The tribesmen claim they held an election and the "peace camp" won.
We will see about that, says the Lord. If these stiff-necked dingbats refuse to see reason, if they refuse to take the initiative and impose their sovereignty over the entire territories and lands that have been granted by Me to them, then We will have to take measures that leave them with no choice but to declare war. We will have to create the conditions under which they have no choice but to attack the Canaanites, to use military force, and to achieve victory.
You´re the Boss, says Joshua. You show the way. And the days pass and the Canaanites begin to snipe at the passing Israelites with blowguns and crossbows. Ah You clever One, says Joshua to the Lord. Surely, this will bring them to their senses. Surely now they will realize there can be no territorial compromise with the pagans and that the only way to deal with them is through military initiative and conquest.
But lo, the days go by and the tribal chiefs simply expand their dialogue and talks with the Canaanite terrorist leaders. It is not working oh Lord, says Joshua. We will see about that, responds the Almighty. In the coming days the Canaanites escalate their conflict. They start sending epistle bombs consisting of parchment wrapped around explosives to homes of the Israelites. They invade several villages of Israelites and burn down their homes. They fire catapults randomly into Israelite civilian homes.
Any progress yet Joshua?, asks the Lord. Alas, answers Joshua, they are responding to these new atrocities by demanding that we turn more territory over to the savages and give them more chariots and weapons, as well. Time to turn up the heat some more, says the Lord. This will surely put the fight into them and fire in their bellies. In the coming days the Canaanites send out gangs of assassins to roam the roads and fields of the Israelites and to murder them. But, Joshua explains, even this is not producing the needed change. The Israelites suggest that we give up own own flags and psalms and instead adopt those that are less offensive to Canaanite sensitivities. They want to teach Canaanite poetry and philosophy in their schools. Israelite universities teach about the tragedy that has befallen the Canaanites from the Israelite migration across the Jordan, and several teachers in Israelite universities erect Canaanite flags and banners with images of Baal and Moloch on them.
You don´t seriously mean to tell Me that the morons are still trying to make peace with the murdering barbarians?, the Lord asks Joshua. Maybe you should have given them some more common sense and IQ points back in the Sinai wanderings, suggests Joshua. No more Mister Nice Guy, answers the Almighty.
The Canaanites escalate further. They place large bombs aboard the public transit chariots of the Israelites. They murder Israelite children. They blow up Israelite universities and nightclubs. They murder Israelites engaged in the Passover sacrifice. They scream that they will annihilate the Israelites. They demand that pagan armies from all over the world join in the campaign of annihilation. They dress up their own people, including their children, with explosives beneath their cloaks and place camel bombs in the Israelite marketplaces. The campaign of atrocities makes the Plagues against Egypt seem like children´s games. The carnage continues, all as part of the Divine program to force the Israelites to take up arms, to impose their will on the savages, to defeat them militarily and to exercise sovereignty.
The lands of Israel became the Valley of the Shadow of Death. The Divine reeducation of the Israelites proceeds with no stopping. They will be goaded into military victory over the Canaanites or My name is not oh you know what, comes a voice from the sky. Months go by and turn into years. The carnage toll rises. Not a single family of Israelites remains untouched. And when things could not possibly go on even a day longer, the Israelite tribe leaders at last come up with a plan of action and present it to Joshua.
Ok Son of Nun, they tell Joshua, we have decided on a unilateral humanitarian cease-fire combined with goodwill measures towards the Canaanites plus an offer to recognize an independent Canaanite state with Mount Moriah as its Capital plus talks at the White Pyramid overseas, and in the meantime allow the Canaanites to operate their diplomatic altars in Jerusalem, while we disarm ourselves further to show we seek peace and we will issue an apologize for any Canaanites that might have been killed by our troops while shooting back at attacking Amalekite hordes.

Gaza op exposing radical left's disgrace
Op-ed: The picture of 'good' and 'evil' in this war is so clear, that the left's radical margins are forced to create an artificial symmetry between Israeli soldiers and Hamas and Jihad fighters.
Oz Almog
Violence sometimes has cultural and ideological reasons, which are detached from a concrete conflict between two sides.
It should be noted, for example, that the Nazis hated the Jews and established an annihilation mechanism not because of some religious or national dispute, but because the Jews were part of a wider goal: Destroying the non-Aryan Western culture.
In other words, the Holocaust was the result of a distorted ideological code, rather than a conflict which could be settled through negotiations and compromises.
Because the radical left refuses to seeHamas' war as a cultural war, it tends to ignore the ideological and organizational common denominator between the Gazan fundamentalism and the global fundamentalism.
According to the radical left's perception, Hamas and the Islamic Jihad are local terror organizations with local goals – in other words, national – rather than an extension of a global network of evil. Their war is perceived as part of a legitimate struggle for national liberation.
And then came Operation Protective Edge, and for the very first time threw a glaring spotlight on the radical left's delusion. It suddenly became more difficult to cut corners, to bash Israel and to disregard the sensibility and morality of its leadership, its army and most of its citizens.
Unfortunately for the radical left, Hamas also launched the missile offensive, and in fact started the conflict even earlier with the kidnapping and murder of the Israeli teens; Hamas also revealed a huge weapon arsenal it has been piling up in order to murder masses of Israelis, while wasting billions of shekels which were supposed to be used to improve the standard of living in Gaza; Hamas also demonstrated its irrational considerations to the point of insanity and suicide – because, after all, it's clear that it's impossible to defeat Israel with missiles, and it's even clearer that the response will take a heavy toll on the aggressor; and Hamas also showed that its conditions for restoring the calm fail to include a single section about peace negotiations.
But the most painful thing for the radical left is seeing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, its bitter enemy, acting moderately and with national and moral responsibility, accepting every international call for a ceasefire and postponing the ground invasion to the very last minute, while firmly facing his internal critics.
The difficult dissonance the dogmatic left has found itself in produces the "but" arguments: Hamas is indeed misbehaving – but the occupying and jailing Israel is to blame for that; they really are a bit violent – but why refer to them as a "terror state"?; we are allowed to defend ourselves – but why kill so many innocent people?; You are only good with wars – but what about peace?; today you attack – but what will happen tomorrow?; you can kill enemies – but why gloat?; an airstrike is okay – but why add a ground operation?; Hamas really does hate Jews – but what about all the moderate Palestinians?
The fact that the picture of the "good" and "evil" in this war is so clear – why even the Egyptian president condemned Hamas – makes it particularly difficult for the left's radical margins.
They are so distressed in light of the reality striking them in the face, that they are forced to create an artificial symmetry between us and the Hamas and Jihad fighters. Israeli pilots are likened to the missile launchers and terror attacks from Gazan and are slammed with the defamatory slogans "the bad ones join the Air Force" and "the murderers join the Air Force."
The radical left's response in this war exposes the lack of intellectual integrity it is characterized by. The integrity to recognize the cultural reality in the Middle East and the nature of the forces operating in the arena.
The radical left is refusing to acknowledge its mistake, not just because it is generally difficult for people – mainly people filled with ideological enthusiasm and hatred – to admit their mistakes, but because it knows that this war exposes its moral disgrace.
