Jen Psaki Decries Islamic Jihad Rocket Attack Against Israel: No Mention of Iran

Yesterday, the Iranian-backed terrorist organization Islamic Jihad launched from Gaza a barrage of more than 60 rockets at civilian targets in southern Israel. In response, US State Department Spokesperson Jen Psaki declared:

"The United States condemns in the strongest terms today's rocket attacks into Israel by terrorists from the Gaza Strip. It is reprehensible that dozens of rockets have been fired today alone. There is no justification for such attacks. We call for these terrorist attacks to cease immediately. Israel, like any nation, has a right to defend itself."

Psaki failed to mention that the barrage follows the recent interception by the Israeli navy of a ship off Port Sudan containing a large number of long-range missiles (see: http://jgcaesarea.blogspot.co.il/2014/03/long-range-iranian-rockets-seized-en.html), which were being sent by Iran to Islamic Jihad for use against Israel.

For that matter, Psaki fails to mention any connection whatsoever between Iran and Islamic Jihad.

Heck, Psaki wouldn't possibly want to say anything that might interfere with Obama's "historic" negotiations with Supreme Leader Khamenei concerning Iran's nuclear weapons development program.

In that regard, she also wouldn't want to explore the "possibility" that Iran, and not Libya, was responsible for the Lockerbie bombing (see: http://www.timesofisrael.com/lockerbie-the-case-against-iran/).

After all, if Obama does not succeed in making peace with the mullahs, what will he have to show in the way of a foreign policy legacy, or any legacy whatsoever for that matter?

The Next War: Hamas and Hezbollah Don't Hesitate to Use Human Shields

After some 20 rockets were fired from Gaza at civilian targets in southern Israel over the past weekend, the Israeli airforce retaliated during the hours of the night between Saturday and Sunday. The video above shows a weapons depot in Gaza being targeted by the IDF during this action. In the video, observe the two red circles: the upper red circle encloses civilian dwellings, whereas the lower red circle demarks the warehouse containing the weaponry, which included rockets. Note the secondary explosions as the munitions go up in flames.

Despite the precision of Israeli airforce attacks, there will inevitably be wounded civilians owing to the proximity of Hamas and Islamic Jihad weapons depots in Gaza, and of Hezbollah weapons depots in southern Lebanon, to civilian dwellings. Make no mistake about it: Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah welcome civilian casualties, in order to convince a gullible West of Israeli brutality.

Needless to say, Palestinian medical sources, crying crocodile tears, bitterly complained that one civilian had been killed and 13 others had been wounded during the Israeli raid (see: http://www.jpost.com/Defense/Article.aspx?id=248808).
