Photo of the week

Yes, the gun was in the knapsack. And yes, the knapsack belongs to a 'Palestinian.' Just like your kids go to school, no?

Pamela Geller explains.
This photo of the week best illustrates the “Palestinian” culture. It is antithetical to the Jewish culture (which is why it was hidden there, I am sure).
“IDF Forces Discover Firearm Hidden inside of Child’s Backpack,” IDF, January 23, 2014
Last night, IDF forces found an improvised firearm during a search in the Jordan Valley. The Palestinian suspect had concealed the weapon in a child’s bookbag, which the forces discovered inside of his vehicle.
Late Tuesday evening, a battalion from the IDF’s Kfir Brigade discovered an improvised firearm and ammunition inside of a Palestinian vehicle during a routine inspection in the Jordan Valley. The weapon was found inside of a child’s bookbag at a checkpoint not far from the driver’s home. “The driver aroused suspicion after a preliminary search,” said Captain Sefi Mor, an IDF company commander involved in the inspection. “He seemed anxious, so we decided to perform a comprehensive search of the vehicle.”
Read the whole thing.

The next generation of 'Palestinians' is being well-trained for co-existence, isn't it?

And come to think of it, where have I heard of the Kfir Brigade before?

IDF to shut elite brigade over loyalty to rabbis

Remember the IDF's Kfir Brigade? The IDF is considering shutting down this elite combat unit because they are 'too loyal' to their rabbis.
The Kfir Brigade, where Havat Gilad soldier who was sentenced to 30 Days in Prison, Private Shimon Weizman, served might be dismantled.

Ynet learned that two more recruits, who where asked on Tuesday whether or not they are faithful to their commander or to their rabbi - responding that their loyalty lies with the rabbi first and foremost – might be dismissed from the brigade. Other recruits serving in the same brigade said they will not allow the brigade commander to behave this way, threatening to organize a mutiny if necessary.
What they should have said is that their first loyalty is to God and His Torah.

The IDF has a concept of an order that is 'prima facie illegal' (bilti chuki ba'alil) and soldiers are taught that when they are given such an order, they are not to obey it (it's a legacy of the Nuremberg trials where many Nazis claimed they were 'just following orders'). It seems to me that for a Jewish state, an order that is clearly against the Torah ought to fit the bill.

The picture at the top is of a kid from the same town from which I immigrated to Israel who was thrown out of his unit for refusing to participate in the Gaza expulsion in 2005.
