Israel's Iron Dome Defense of Saudis Aims to Avert Collapse of Trump, Netanyahu's Entire Strategy
Haaretz ^ | November 22, 2018 / Kislev 14, 5779 | Chemi Shalev

But Democrats view it as yet another expression of the prime minister’s overzealous backing for a despised U.S. president

The Mossad’s Kidon unit, which foreign media describe as Israel’s official assassination squad, must be worried sick over the fallout from the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. Alongside its many successful hits, some of which are surely still unknown, Kidon’s men (and presumably women) have also known notorious failures, including the mistaken 1970 killing of Moroccan waiter Ahmed Bouchiki in Lillehammer, Norway, the failed 1997 assassination of Hamas leader Khaled Mashal in Jordan and the successful, albeit meticulously filmed 2010 hit on Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai.

Israel paid a price for these and other operational flops, but it never came close to undermining its international standing or threatening the careers of its leaders.

From a professional point of view, Khashoggi’s murder was exceptionally brutal, but also spectacularly stupid. It was carried out inside a diplomatic installation, the likes of which are routinely under surveillance by host countries, a factor that undermined Riyadh’s ability to plausibly deny responsibility. But rather than stay silent, the Saudi PR geniuses added insult to injury with a series of rebuttals so ridiculous they were seen as admissions of guilt....

Haaretz has become the voice of treason in Israel. They always were left, even mini-Marxist, but the listed articles which you can’t see unless you subscribe, are deliberately aimed at undermining Israel’s self-defense operations against enemies who want to annihilate them.

Picking up a failed Mossad assassination attempt in 1970 is NOT CURRENT news (it is an historical item) and the other two listed ops (one a failure, the other successful), hardly qualify as a reason to destroy one of the most effective anti-terrorism organizations in the world.

however, the Israel Left, may of whom are old line Communists and the “New Left” Marxists, are traitors, pure and simple. The use the fake argument of “moral equivalency” and “a higher standard” but though they live in a country under terrorist siege, both within and without, they act as though everything was Marquis of Queensberry rules instead of back alley fighting which is the norm.

This kind of thinking is what got so many European Jews killed by the Nazis and their allies because some Jewish voices said to ignore what was happening to them. Otherwise they would make things worst. If there is anything worst than genocide, Holocaust style, then tell me, Haaretz, what it is.

To me Haaretz is, like George Soros, a KAPO for Israel’s enemies and should be treated as such. Backstabbing liberal and Marxist Jews are just as dangerous as Hamas and Hezbollah, only they wear yarmulkas instead of kaffiyahs.

Israel also has their progressive Marxists as we do in the United States. In the United States they are the hierarchy of the Democrat Party. In Israel as in the United States they are a cancer.

I take it people like the author of this article think they can live in peace with an enemy that has sworn to eliminate Israel. It’s amazing to see that people’s blind hatred for an individual or another idea, that they completely ignore everything else.

Liberalism, in all its forms, truly is a mental defect.

Yes, Haaretz speaks from Israel’s anti-defense left. As with Israel’s conservative leaders, conservative U.S. leaders have worked with the Saudis for a long time and have gained much for our national security by doing so. Things change for the better sometimes. As for human rights, some of the favorite foreign trading partners of our U.S. left are terrible abusers of human rights.

Exactly, they are the jews that lead the nazi soldiers in through the secret tunnels in the Polish ghettos for an extra piece of bread.

Lowest of low life, they are the gunk that festers under the pond scum.

If you like the New York Times or Washington Post for the United States, then you'll probably like Haaretz for Israel. All crazy left, all the time.

The word is Bolshevism.

All those millions of Soviet Bolsheviks emigrated to the USA and Israel. Their offspring now reign over nearly every publication in the USA. As well as the fields of Finance, Education and Entertainment. Wherever there is trouble, you will find a Bolshevik in the midst of it.

Leftist jews forget indeed that Stalin himself acquiesced Hitler’s massacre of German communists. Stalin completely abandoned them to Hitler because he prefered Hitler. They seem to think that leftism is a sort of shield from the gestapo thanks to their Soviet protectors.

They could not be more wrong

And it becomes even more ridiculous when they equate “former” Hitler allied arabs now under Soviet tutelage trustworthy.

I used to read Haaretz but they’re a bit to far left for me. Also, I don’t like the idea of having to subscribe to read their articles. I found Arutz Sheva, Israel National News to be more to my taste, and no subscription necessary.

And the Israeli prime minister “overzealously” backs Trump? Wait a minute...why would he back an anti-semite...? (/s)

The author of this piece is a leftist POS, and merely regurgitates a series of talking points.

Not that you don’t know this, but here is video of it:

I specifically remember HRC giving a speech in Turkey endorsing the ‘20 year plan’ which completes this.

Thanks for the Haaretz info. So, they’re total pukes. Are they even Jewish?
