OK, For those of you who will never watch it, (and have “only a little dust in your eyes”) it’s about a female super-spy who comes out of retirement part time to work for a mission impossible like agency named TSS (Totsuke Special Services) which helps women (damsels) in distress. Click on the “recommended” stripe to see the other episodes on youtube. I like the last two best but it works better if you watch the whole thing as it’s one story with episodes. Has Russian spies as well. Has the mission impossible theme song, too or something pretty close. Fun.

@ bernard ross:
But, if you do it that way, remember to tell people to double click so the right side isn’t cut off. There are always new viewers on Israpundit and they don’t all comment or even register. I tend to prefer doing it the other way — in fact, it was I who suggested it — precisely for that reason. I mean, people know how to click on a link, right? Do you think people will be more inclined to click on a video? Takes up more space, you know, as well. “Space, the final frontier.” Sorry, I couldn’t resist. Can’t take me anywhere!

Yup. it worked. If it cuts off the right side because of the line, then when you play it, double click on the video and it will make it full screen in youtube.
The only problem with that is that if people don’t know to double click on the video when it is playing, the right side will be cut off.

yaalon is a criminals who belongs in jail…. where is mandebilt?
Yaalon used his office as DM top in chain of command to instruct, through public declaration, to his military subordinates that the soldier is guilty…. those military subordinates were the military investigators, the military prosecutors and the military judges….. he and eisenkot have made clear to them that the soldier is guilty. this is an abuse of his office, an abuse of authority, an abuse of power….. obstruction of justice and interference with the justice process..
He has already admitted that he did it not for any fake principles but as a sacrifice to appease foreigners and arabs.
jail is where yaalon and eisenkot belong
It is odd that Mandebilt, who opens a new investigation every five minutes, has not opened one on this serial criminal behavior…. which began at Duma.
The citizens of Israel should demand that Mandebilt open a criminal investigation of Yaalon and eisenkot for colluding to obstruct and interfere with justice and abuse of office
Jimmy Carter to Obama: Grant Recognition to ‘State of Palestine’ at UN
Former US Pres. Jimmy Carter is again working to destabilize the security of Israel in a ninth-hour appeal to outgoing Pres. Obama.

Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter is urging incumbent President Barack Obama to support an anti-Israel resolution at the United Nations Security Council that would allow the Palestinian Authority to evade its obligation to negotiate a final status agreement and skip directly to independent statehood.
The obligation to negotiate via direct talks with Israel was enshrined in the internationally-recognized Oslo Accords signed between Israel and the Palestinian Authority in the early 1990s. But the Ramallah government has spent the intervening years working to avoid its contractual obligations — the first of which mandate the abolition of incitement to violence and terror against Jews and Israelis and demand direct talks to negotiate a final status agreement.
Instead, representatives for the Palestinian Authority made monumental and successful efforts to evade those responsibilities via proxies in the United Nations General Assembly who helped the entity to methodically upgrade its status unilaterally at the world body without having to negotiate at all.
Now Jimmy Carter, known for years as an advocate on behalf of Gaza’s terrorist leadership and that of the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah, is once again intervening to use his influence in the region.
This time, Carter wrote an op-ed in The New York Times to urge an outgoing president to use his final days to sell out America’s most loyal Middle Eastern ally at the UN.
“It has been President Obama’s aim to support a negotiated end to the conflict based on two states, living side by side in peace,” Carter wrote. “That prospect is now in grave doubt. I am convinced that the United States can still shape the future of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict before a change in presidents, but time is very short.
“The simple but vital step this administration must take before its term expires on Jan. 20 is to grant American diplomatic recognition to the state of Palestine, as 137 countries have already done, and help it achieve full United Nations membership.”
Carter also wrote that security guarantees “for both Israel and Palestine are imperative,” as if that were actually possible. Further measures, he wrote, “should include the demilitarization of the Palestinian state” but did not suggest how that might take place.

I haven’t forgotten about your question of Jews in the War of independence, but I am behind on the wash.
@ bernard ross:
We’re on the same page. I was just about to post something about that. To add injury to injury:
“Family of Palestinian attacker vows to seek murder conviction in Hague
Uncle says trial of Elor Azaria was ‘fair’ but manslaughter charge did not go far enough; PA says it will seek ICC investigations into hundreds of Palestinians killed over last year”
http://www.timesofisrael.com/
If Israel had the right kind of policies in place, Azaria would get a medal and a promotion and the terrorist’s family would be executed or at a minimum deported to Gaza, any land or properties they may own seized and expropriated without compensation and sold at auction to Jews.
Thus killing three birds with one stone, saving Jewish lives in the future, furthering justice, and easing the housing shortage among Jews that leftists like to disingenuously whine about without really wanting to do anything about it.
The best way to prevent anti-semitic violence is to kill all of the violent anti-semites. Preferably before they strike. Common sense, no? This guy was a terrorist stopped in the act. Is his family sorry? Ashamed? No. That means they are terrorists too.
here is my opinion:
leftist military kangaroo court influenced by top command of eisenkot and yaalon decided to sacrifice a jew killer for their “principles”
My view is that it was a done deal, a political sacrifice of the “useful idiot” who was foolish enough to enter the IDF to be stabbed in the back, not by Obama, but by his own command and gov.
corruption, corruption, corruption
the brits did the same in the Boer War to “Breaker Morant”
as for me there is no possible way I would allow my son to join an army that asks its children to die for jew killing terrorists…. you kill jew killing terrorists. I have no interest in their principles because any principle that incarcerates a jew for liquidating a jew killing terrorist is a fraud,… just like the GOI and the IDF command
Commanders shooting their soldiers in the back… like obama.

After completely wiping out Mexico’s army against great odds, Texas would have sued for peace and surrendered.

“Negotiation | Definition of Negotiation by Merriam-Webster
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/negotiation
Definition of negotiation for Students. : the act or process of having a discussion in order to reach an agreement.
?Open To Negotiation · ?Under Negotiation · ?In Negotiation”
There was no discussion. No compromise. No give and take. That’s what’s meant by negotiation. Santa Anna signed what he was told to and got his freedom after his army was annhilated or captured. Japan and Germany got us to stop killing them when they signed what they were told to.
The moment Israel sits down at the negotiating table, it’s a given that she will make concessions, as she always has. As we did in Vietnam. Big mistake.
No, I don’t know about the Jewish Texan Hero of the War of Independence and I’d love to hear about him or her.
I restrained myself earlier but did you know that Tony Curtis was a Hungarian-Jewish-American New Yorker? Born Bernie Schwartz in the Bronx.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000348/bio
He most definitely had the Schwartz! [Also, a brilliant actor. Did you know that He and Marilyn Monroe were ex-lovers when they shot “Some Like it Hot?” They had lived together before either was married when they were both poor, unknown, struggling actors. Do you know how hard it is to convincingly fake a love scene with someone you are not currently in love with much less somebody with whom you have baggage?)

@ honeybee:
“…Santa Anna’s entire force was killed or captured by Sam Houston’s heavily outnumbered army. Only nine Texans died.
‘Santa Anna was captured the following day and held as a prisoner of war. Three weeks later, Santa Anna was released after signing a treaty in which, he agreed to discontinue war upon Texas, he was allowed to return to Mexico. These treaties did not specifically recognize Texas as a sovereign nation, but stipulated that Santa Anna was to lobby for such recognition in Mexico City. Afterwards the United States, France and England recognized the new republic as an independent nation, though Mexico never did…”
http://www.legendsofamerica.com/tx-revolution.html
In other words, Mexico surrendered unconditionally.
Germany and Japan surrendered unconditionally. There was a signing ceremony. No negotiation.

@ honeybee:
I guess that’s where Speedy got his name. “Andele, Andele, zooooom!” But, did they negotiate? Seems like they just fought and won. Negotiation in good faith (in other words, unless it’s a just a trick to get the enemy to lower his guard for a moment) leads to capitulation. Every time. Another great Kahane quote from the above quoted debate:
(Paraphrasing from memory. Watch it, it’s great.)
“There are no moderate Arabs. There are clever Arabs and stupid Arabs. The stupid Arabs say what they mean. Like Syria. They know they can not defeat Israel on the battlefield, so they set out to defeat Israel at the peace table. What nation loses a war five times and then demands land? What nation wins wars five times and then gives land up?”
Actually, I think Mao was paraphrasing Von Clausewitz
