“Ban Ki-Moon Blames Israel for Gaza Suffering, Ignores Smuggling”
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu
SNIPPET: “(IsraelNN.com) United Nations Secetary-General Ban Ki-Moon visited Gaza Sunday and blamed Israel for its economic woes while ignoring terrorists’ smuggling of weapons for use against Israel and the documented abundance of food and opportunities for Arab exporters.
He also did not mention the resumption of Kassam attacks on southern Israel. The Israel Air Force two days ago bombed several tunnels that Hamas had built for smuggling weapons and for use by terrorists to kidnap IDF soldiers.
The day before, IDF Military Intelligence Director Maj. Gen. Amos Yadlin, briefed Ban on smuggling routes used by Iran via air, land and sea, and the Iranian aid for weapons to Hamas and Hizbullah.”

“Highlights of the week”
(Posted March 18, 2010)
SNIPPET: “US-Israel tensions attract interest from Iranian media
The US-Israel tensions have drawn considerable attention from Iranian media this week. Major dailies and news websites have reported on the disagreements between the American administration and the Israeli government over the continuation of building in Jerusalem, and even emphasized the statement of Israel’s ambassador to Washington, Michael Oren, who was quoted by Israeli media this week saying that the relations between the two countries were undergoing the worst crisis in 35 years (Asr-e Iran, March 15).
According to the assessment of some Iranian media, it is indeed a profound, significant crisis in the relations between the two countries.”

Lebanese army fires on Israeli warplanes: military
AFP via Yahoo News ^ | 3/21/2010 | AFP via Yahoo News
Posted on March 21, 2010 6:52:37 PM PDT by sonofstrangelove
Lebanese anti-aircraft guns opened fire on two Israeli warplanes that were violating its airspace at medium altitude on Sunday, the military said.
“The army’s anti-aircraft guns fired at two Israeli warplanes overflying Hasbaya” in southeastern Lebanon, an army statement said.
The incident came amid rising regional tension and heightened concern in Lebanon over recent Israeli threats against Shiite militant party Hezbollah and its backers Syria and Iran.
Israel and Hezbollah fought a 34-day war in the summer of 2006 which destroyed much of southern Lebanon and killed more than 1,200 Lebanese, mostly civilians, and close to 160 Israelis, mainly soldiers.
UN Security Council Resolution 1701, adopted unanimously in August 2006, ended the war and expanded a UN peacekeeping force deployed at the Lebanese border with Israel.
Israel’s regular overflights into southern Lebanon, a Hezbollah stronghold, are a breach of Resolution 1701, but the Jewish state argues they are necessary to monitor what it claims is massive arms smuggling by Hezbollah.
While Lebanon’s army reports almost-daily Israeli violations of Lebanese airspace, the military rarely opens fire unless the planes fly within range of its guns.

“Jerusalem Mayor: Build 50,000, not 1,600, New Jerusalem Homes”
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu
SNIPPET: “(IsraelNN.com) Jerusalem mayor Nir Barkat said that the recent announcement of progress towards building 1,600 new homes in Ramat Shlomo, which the United States opposes, is only a small part of a projected 50,000 new homes for Jews and Arabs.
Barkat told Britain’s Sky News that he will not accept any American-pressured move to halt construction in parts of the city that the United States does not recognize as being under Israeli sovereignty. “The concept of freezing building for Jews is one I don’t accept,” he stated. “I will never accept it.””
