Children: Victims of the Hate Industry

Young children and adolescents in the Gaza Strip are taught to kiss the corpses of terrorist-operative martyrs (in Arabic, shaheed or shahid), who died for the sake of Allah. This is part of the indoctrination to hate Israel and to promote the popularity of the shaheed cult in the Palestinian-controlled territories, although this practice is not founded in the Muslim tradition. A report issued by the Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center on December 6, 2007 says:

Israeli Cowboys in America

{image_1}A group of six Israeli cowboys will soon depart on a unique journey across the United States aimed at marking Israel’s 60th anniversary and raising awareness to the historic date in the American media. The six travellers will be riding on Israeli born-and-raised horses and carry Israeli flags with them. They plan to cross the country from north to south, possibly taking the Continental Divide National Trail, leading from the Canadian border to the Mexican one through the Rocky Mountains. On the way, they will stop over in Jewish and Christian Zionist communities.

Israeli Technology “Revolutionary”

{image_1}Back in 2002, a leading global advisory firm wrote this astounding statement: “Without Israeli technology, the West will not develop. Many organizations throughout the world, including the American national infrastructure, will not survive for long without constant support from the revolutionary technology coming from Israel.” OnTarget Technology’s Web site affirms this same sentiment: “Israel is the source of highly innovative telecom technologies that consistently attract investments and acquisitions by US companies.” They also list the following outstanding achievements for this small, young country:

Water for a Thirsty World

{image_1}Israel isn’t the only country hurting for water. In Antarctica, the driest continent on earth, the scientists working on global warming need water. When the waves of the 2004 tsunami destroyed wells, the people of Maldives needed drinkable water, as well as the refugee camps of Moldova and Albania and 1.3 billion in China. A small Israeli company, based in the Galilee, has been offering its technology to all these countries and more—with portable desalination units.

Iran’s Space Program – Peaceful or Dangerous

Wires and Cables Disappear

{image_1}Now that the electronic data revolution has hit home, cable “spaghetti” is starting to take over, but there is a way out of this tangled mess. Powermat, led by CEO Ran Poliakine, has developed a system whereby the electrical devices in your home or office will get their power not from a plug, but right off the table you’re working on. Electromagnetic waves are used similar to the ones used with popular Radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags, such as are used to keep track of endangered species in the wild with a chip. However, that technology has been limited to collecting or sending data—until now.

The Bridge of Strings—Jerusalem’s New Gateway

{image_1}Construction on the Bridge of Strings at the entrance to Jerusalem is expected to take another seven months. The NIS 135 million [US $36.5 million] bridge, designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, will be built on concrete supports covered in Jerusalem stone, above which will hang a steel and glass structure.

Unique Glass Panel Restored

{image_1}The Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) recently unveiled a large 103 x 103 centimeter (40.5 x 40.5 inch) glass panel first discovered in 2005. The panel was found in Caesarea in the ruins of a large Byzantine Period (AD 324–638) structure, possibly a palace. It was found face down underneath the collapsed second floor of the structure. Specialists have spent the last several years restoring and studying the panel.

Connecting the People with the Land for 60 years

“Archaeology in Israel has provided a valuable link between the country’s past and present, with thousands of years of history unearthed at some 3,500 sites. Many finds attest to the long connection of the Jewish people with the Land of Israel,” states Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. While Muslims are busy destroying thousands of years of Jewish history below the Temple Mount, archaeological finds in the past 60 years throughout Israel have only reaffirmed Israel’s claim to the Land. We have room to highlight only three.

Nuclear Fuel—From Russia to Iran

March 31, 2008

The Bushehr nuclear power plant in southwestern Iran took a step closer to operability on January 28, as Iranians received the last batch of nuclear fuel from Russia. Some 82 tons [49 metric tons] of nuclear fuel arrived in Iran to allow the facility to start producing electricity. The plant should have been up and running at the end of 2007, but contractual problems led to a considerable delay. Russia said Iran had failed to make payments on time. Besides the fuel for the initial commissioning, auxiliary equipment for the plant also arrived.
