His golden year was 1940, when his armies invaded Denmark, Norway, Luxembourg, Holland, and Belgium and defeated France ... By mid 1942, his country controlled the largest land area in Europe… He refused to surrender and continued to fight for two more years, but, his bitter end came in the spring of 1945 when he took his own life…. Who is he?

Israel to renew attacks against Gaza rocket launchers, puts truce at risk

Israel decided on Wednesday to renew pinpoint attacks against Palestinian rocket-launching cells in Gaza, threatening to send a shaky, month-old truce into total collapse.

Hamas government spokeswoman Ghazi Hamad denounced the Israeli decision to "continue their aggression against our people," but added: "We still believe that this agreement is alive, and both sides should respect this agreement because it is (in) the interest (of) our people."

Under current policy Israeli Defense Forces are not permitted to pre-emptively fire upon Palestinians who appear to be preparing to launch rockets into Israel.

The group Islamic Jihad has continued firing rockets since the Nov. 26 cease-fire from the Gaza Strip although the number of attacks have been fewer in number.

Palestinian militants violated the truce within an hour after it took effect on Nov. 26. Since then, more than 60 rockets have been fired at southern Israel.

Translation: 

Hamas tells Israel, "Had you read the fine print in the cease-fire it clearly says Israel ceases fire and we continue. Plain and Simple! 

Now, you want to shoot back?? Whoa, buddy!! Relax! 

We are just so happy to have a truce.  Our people sometimes go a bit overboard with our fireworks display.  Just celebrating the peace, no harm in that."

Israeli road blocks and check points along Road 60 in the West Bank makes what used to be a 20 minute ride a 2 1/2 hour ordeal. To raise awareness of the issue Palestinians have renamed the road the Long Island Expressway.

Reviews are coming in for the British stage production, now playing in New York, called “My Name is Rachel Corrie,” about the 23-year-old activist who was crushed when she wouldn’t get out of the way of an Israeli bulldozer as she protected a Palestinian explosive-smuggling tunnel.

I'm sure I would like this play, since I absolutely adore English comedy. I mean, let's be honest: we know how slowly bulldozers move. In my neighborhood, there's a lot of construction, and my dog and I had to get out of the way of a bulldozer that was heading toward us. We managed to do so--16 times--before it got close. In other words, in order to end up under a bulldozer, you'd have to really, really want to be under a bulldozer. It would have to be your life's ambition to be under a bulldozer. And if that's your life's goal, there's nothing anyone can do to keep you from it. So it's a good thing that, as director Alan Rickman said, the play's intention is to celebrate Corrie's life--since, unlike most of us, she achieved her dream and died doing what she loved: being under bulldozers.

This should be better than “The Madness of King George.” (It’s not for nothing that the third anniversary of Corrie’s death was commemorated with a salute to her family and friends by the Gaza Community Mental Health Program.)

Meanwhile, the weapons-smuggling tunnels Corrie was protecting beg a question: A major Palestinian grievance is that the IDF security mechanism often interferes with much needed medical care getting through to the territories. But bombs and weapons don't seem to have any trouble getting through to the territories. Couldn’t they just use their terror tunnels for the medical supplies? What’s the problem?

It should be noted that the Palestinians started out with 400,000 in the disputed territory. They screamed “Genocide!” and became four million. Boy, whoever’s in charge of that genocide program ought to be fired. You see what happens when you leave Holocausts up to Jews?
