Obama’s Strange Prize

Friday, October 9th, 2009

Today’s top headline: US President Barack Obama has been awarded this year’s Nobel Peace Prize. Please forgive my cynicism, but aside from pandering to the Muslim world, bowing to the Saudi king, scheming to prevent Israeli families from having babies in Samaria, Judea, and Jerusalem, and appeasing the world’s most notorious dictators, it’s hard to know what Obama’s foreign policy accomplishments are.

I am so impressed with the choice of the Nobel committee that I would like to already send in my suggestions for next year!

I would like to hereby nominate several highly worthy candidates for next year’s Nobel Peace Prize:

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran, Caesar Chavez of Venezuela, Fidel Castro of Cuba, and last but not least, Hassan Nasrallah of Hizbullah - As is well known, these are all men of peace, proponents of non-violence and moderation, and according to Obama,  leaders  who can be reasoned with, if we would only show more understanding for their needs and concerns.

May the best man win!

Terror Returns To Shiloh

Monday, October 5th, 2009

Two attacks in one week. Last week, resident Yair Hirsch, a manager at the local olive oil factory and a father of several young children, was wounded in a terror shooting ambush while driving on one of the internal roads on the eastern side of Shiloh. Just one week later, a teenage girl was wounded when young Muslim terrorists threw rocks at her parents’ car as they were driving to the supermarket. These events received hardly a mention in the ”mainstream” media with its unspoken agenda to minimize the appearance of suffering amongst the Jewish residents of Samaria and Judea. The false image of “quiet” on the roads of the so-called West Bank, in actuality the Biblical heartland of Israel, is just that, an illusion.

Despite the distressing news, let us be very clear about where we are going! As we speak, two housing projects are underway in Shiloh and a new school complex to house a new school building is under construction to meet the needs of our growing young population. The Shiloh Israel Children’s Fund will be there to meet the needs of all the children, whose lives the Muslim terrorists would like to destroy. As much as they try to create hell for the children of Israel,  we will do everything we can (with the necessary help from our supporters), both to restore the lost innocence of childhood for these children and to rebuild the Biblical heartland of Israel.

“…they rebuilt the cities and they settled in them.” (The Book of Judges 21:23)
