French Discount Murdering Jews to Receive Citizenship

Nadene Goldfoot                          Rechavam Zeevi, Minister of Tourism,, Assassinated  2001
                  
Majdi al-Rimawi of the village of Bani Zeid Al-Gharbiyya, received a life sentence plus 80 years for being in on the planning and murder of an Israeli Minister, Rechavam Zeevi in 2001.  He was part of a terrorist group called PFLP, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

Originally, "Hamdi Qar’an, Bassel al-Asmar, Majdi al-Rimawi and ‘Aahed Abu Ghalma, together with Fuad Shobaki, and Ahmad Sa’adat were transferred by US and British security officers to a prison in Jericho and guarded there by US and British wardens."  Hamdi Quran was their leader.  "Quran was imprisoned by the Palestinian National Authority  in a Jericho prison guarded by American and European guards on May 9, 2002 and given an 18 year sentence." Majdi al-Rimawi was convicted of planning the killing and sentenced to 8 years in prison "

 In 2006, Israeli Defense Forces besieged the prison and took Quran to Israeli custody. He was sentenced to life imprisonment.  Israel does not have the death penalty.  Rimawi must have been taken then, too.  The idea of being sentenced to only 8 years for assassinating an important personage of Israel was unacceptable. He was given what he deserved.

The little city of Bezons, France has just honored him by granting him citizenship.  They have a plaque with an inscription on it from the city's municipality which refers to Al-Rimawi as a "political prisoner."  I guess to them all political prisoners can murder and it's acceptable.  The plaque was dated on February 13, 2013.  It sounds like it was created by the Palestinians themselves as on it is written, "a state for the Palestinians on the 1967 borders.  A city for peace and solidarity." Present receiving it were Rimawi's wife, son and daughter.

Benzons is a NW suburb of Paris, only 7.8 miles away or 12 minutes by tramway.

Bezons invited Rimawi's wife to the ceremony.  In her speech she spoke highly of all the prisoners in Israel.  To her the award shows the city's support of the issue of Palestinian prisoners in general and in particular the issue of prisoners sentenced to long prison terms.

The Mayor of the city was defensive in saying that Majdi is a direct victim of this occupation....as are the 4,500 Palestinian "resistance fighters" who were imprisoned for having dared to defend "their" country against an occupier whose military means are oversized and whose methods constantly violate UN resolutions and international law.

The man he helped to assassinate was the Tourism Minister of Israel,  a 75 year old general, politician and historian born in 1926 and founder of Moledet Party.  Zeevi was one of but few politicians that have been assassinated. He had served in the 12th, 13th, 14th and 15th Knessets.   He was a Sabra, born in Jerusalem.  He had been a member of Palmach in 1942 defending against Arab attacks on defenseless Jews at a time when Britain wouldn't let in Jews escaping from Europe's Holocaust.  "Ze'evi, known for his concern for Israel's captured or missing soldiers, wore a military identity disc with their names on his neck"..

"According to Bezons monthly newsletter, the honouring of Rimawi was the result of a unanimous decision by the Bezons local council, which described his crime as "defending his town and its inhabitants, calling for the application of international law for the establishment of Palestine to the 1967 borders as recognised by the United Nations, and Jerusalem as its capital." The decision and the newsletter made no mention of Ze'evi's killing."

This is all false information but one can see that the people of this French city have been completely brainwashed into believing such nonsense.  Of course the French did have their problems in defending their country and had to call in the Americans to do it for them, so they don't seem to understand Israel's strength and  zeal in wanting to stay alive and keep their country.  These "fighters" are terrorists who only know death and destruction as means to win what isn't rightfully theirs.   As for international law, Israel has the right to be where they are as proven by a number of international lawyers, but the UN and Europe have been ignoring these facts on purpose.  It doesn't suit their point of view or anti-Semitic tendencies.  Europe has gone from madly defending "The Holy Land" in the Crusades to bland disinterest today.  I think their attitude is to just let the Muslims have it all and be done with it and Jews can just go.

"Lesparre, the mayor,  was sharply criticized by Moshe Kantor, president of the European Jewish Congress,  who stated that “It is inconceivable that an elected official can be so ignorant as to call a cold-blooded murderer a victim.” Israeli Foreign Ministry also criticized the decision, stating that it was "humanly outrageous to honor a convicted murderer, no political view can justify it."

In the meantime, France is a leading country with acts of anti-Semitism.  One can understand why.

Daily Shelling From Gaza on Israeli Civilians Leads to Israeli Reply

Nadene Goldfoot
Since 2001 Southern Israel's civilian population has been bombarded by missiles, rockets, and mortars from Hamas terrorists and their pals in Gaza such as PFLP, who took responsibility this time.  Lately it's been horrific.  Israel has IDF patrolling the border to try to keep their civilians safe.  A jeep patrol was just hit by an anti-tank missile which set it on fire and 4 soldiers were injured; one badly in the head.  A nearby IDF tank came and returned shelling back, killing 4 Palestinians and wounding 25 who were aged 16-18, perhaps fighters in training.  .

That brought on an onslaught of 16-25 rockets hitting Southern Israel with their Iron Dome stopping one of two grad missiles that were fired at Israelis.  For almost 12 years Israelis have been living a great deal of their time in bomb shelters, if they are lucky enough to have them.  More are still needed in the area, especially for the schools. "Hamas have used small man-portable single-tube launchers for rockets in attacks against Israel, designated 122 mm 9P132/BM-21-P. The 122 mm Grad rockets used in Gaza have a range of about 40 km (25 mi), and can reach the Israeli towns of Ashdod, Beer-Sheva, Ofakim, Gedera, Kiryat Gat, Ashqelon, Sderot, Rehovot, Kiryat Malachi and Gan Yavne. The Islamic Jihad also published a clip claiming device mounted used as a multi-barrel rocket launcher on vehicle used for first time in Gaza (Wikipedia) 

Being that Israel took a tougher stand after much warning and hit back with the guarding tank which killed 4 people, they are wild with fury at having "civilians" hit.  "Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum blamed Israel for the incident, saying, "The occupation's targeting of civilians was a grave escalation that must not pass in silence," and adding that "resistance must be reinforced in order to block the aggression."

First off, it's amazing that after shelling Israel for 12 years targeting their civilians, I am in shock that Hamas cries out that we hit their "Civilians" and are angry about it. It's their everyday attack on Israel!   I disavow the word Fawzi Barhoum used, which was- occupation.  Israel moved out of Gaza completely in the name of peace and left it for the Palestinians.  They are the ones who voted in Hamas to be their leaders and rulers.  What Israel got out of that was the agony of being shot at almost daily. Hamas has been shooting at Israeli civilians.  Israel is not occupying Gaza, but the deal left Israel the ability to guard certain places to their own security.  With a people who want to destroy Israel, who will not even accept the fact that they are there legally in their own state, this is the only thing they can do.  Their idea of resistance is "attacking".  Aggression is something Israel is not practicing.  Defense is what it's called.  

"‘We will not allow the escalation on the fence to go unanswered,’’ Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said.

The Israeli military said it holds Gaza’s Hamas rulers responsible for the attack and that it ‘‘will not tolerate’’ such incidents."  Hamas has killed hundreds of Israelis in suicide bombings and other attacks, including their raining rockets on Sderot, Ashkelon and other towns.  The populations are so close that Israelis have a 15 second warning and that's it.

Israel has complained  many times to the UN who has done nothing about it.  Watch; let the Palestinians now complain and Human Rights will be all over Israel.  It is not uncommon for Palestinian mothers to sacrifice their children in order to harm Israel.  This retaliating from Israel most likely was toward the direction of where  the grad missiles came from.  It wouldn't surprise me if the terrorists weren't trying to instigate such retaliation knowing it might be Israel who will be blamed.  Israel doesn't purposely aim at civilians like the Palestinians do.

Update:from  Uri Gobey Portland, Sunday noontime.

Rockets still being fired right now...non stop for 24 hours  ynet news reports that over 100 Qassam rockets, mortar shells and Grads have rained down on Southern Israel hitting several buildings including a house.
