What I love about Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is he’s the strongest leader in the Western World that speaks clearly aand identifies the enemy for what they are-terrorists goons. He speaks for and defends his country without apology the way a real leader should.
Don’t mess with Israel, unless you want your ass kicked, and that’s the way it should be.
The Israeli military attacked a Gaza-bound aid flotilla, leaving at least nine dead, after receiving reports that the fleet had links to al Qaeda, the Israeli ambassador to Denmark said Monday.
"Before the flotilla entered Israeli waters, rumor had it that the organizers [of the aid initiative] had links with the al Qaeda terrorist network," Arthur Avnon was quoted as saying on the website of public broadcaster DR.
"The people on board were not so innocent ... and I cannot imagine that another country would react any differently," the ambassador said before being summoned to the Danish foreign ministry to explain the attack.
Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said he spoke Monday to top diplomatic and security officials by telephone from Canada and voiced his “full backing” for the military. Before the ships set sail from waters off the east Mediterranean island of Cyprus on Sunday, Israel had urged the flotilla not to try to breach the blockade and offered to transfer the cargo to Gaza from an Israeli port, following a security inspection.
Commandos stormed the six ships carrying hundreds of pro-Palestinian activists on an aid mission to the blockaded Gaza Strip. At least nine people were killed and dozens wounded after Israeli soldiers encountered an unexpected resistance when they boarded the vessels.
According to Netanyahu, the Israeli soldiers were attacked and defending themselves in the raid.
SLIDESHOW: World Responds to Israeli Gaza Flotilla Attack Avnon echoed Netanyahu’s sentiments, lamenting the loss of life but saying, "the [Israeli] soldiers were welcomed with violence when they climbed on board. One of them was injured in the stomach and others were injured with baseball bats."
An Israeli military spokesman said two guns had been discovered on the ships and Israel's military chief, General Gaby Ashkenazi, blamed the violence on Turkish nongovernmental organization (NGO) IHH, which he characterized as "extremist." Israel's Channel 10 television and Al-Jazeera both reported 19 dead, but the Israeli channel later revised that number down to nine. The Gaza branch of IHH put the death toll at 15, saying most of them were Turkish nationals.
The Israeli military said seven soldiers were wounded, one of them seriously.
The operation in international waters off the Gaza coast was a nightmare scenario for Israel that looked certain to further damage its international standing, strain already tense relations with Turkey -- the unofficial sponsor of the mission -- and draw unwanted attention to Gaza's plight.
White House spokesman Bill Burton, speaking on the eve of a meeting that President Barack Obama had scheduled at the White House with Netanyahu, said the United States "deeply regrets the loss of life and injuries sustained" in the incident. Netanyahu announced Monday he would cancel his White House visit to deal with the crisis.
Burton also said that administration officials are "currently working to understand the circumstances surrounding this tragedy." The United States, among others, has been trying to restart direct peace talks between the Israelis and Palestinians, but progress toward this achievement has lagged severely in recent months.
The tough Israeli response also drew condemnations from Turkey, France and the U.N.'s Mideast envoy, while Greece suspended a military exercise with Israel and postponed a visit by Israel's air force chief. The U.N. Security Council announced they would meet Monday afternoon to discuss the attack.
Turkey's prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan described the raid as "state terrorism" Monday, as some10,000 Turks marched from Israel's Consulate in Istanbul toward the city's main square, shouting slogans denouncing Israel. The protesters earlier Monday tried to storm the Consulate building but were blocked by police.
In response, Israel advised its citizens Monday to avoid travel to Turkey and instructed those already there to keep a low profile and avoid crowded downtown areas. Full story
So it should be no surprise that unrepentant terrorists’ buddies of Barack Hussein Obama are heavily involved in trying to sneak arms to another terrorist organization in Gaza, namely Hamas, under the guise of humanitarian aide.
Of course the Left is reporting this the way they always do, the terrorists of Hamas are the poor victims even though it’s written in their charter to wipe Israel off the face of the earth.
Hamas wants this fight because they know the media is sympathetic to their cause.
Whatever Israel needs to do to protect itself has my full backing. TLT is committed to report the truth that main stream media distorts.
Earlier today, Israeli navy commandos raided the six-ship flotilla, encountering heavy resistance and live fire from the activists. Several activists were killed and dozens of others were reportedly injured, as were several of the Israeli commandos.
The flotilla was organized by the Free Gaza Movement, a coalition of leftist human rights activists and pro-Palestinian groups engaged in attempts to break a blockade imposed by Israel on the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip.
Ayers, Dohrn and Evans' Code Pink have led several recent Free Gaza Movement initiatives, including attempted marches into the Gaza Strip. Dorhn was in the Middle East just last month on behalf of the movement.
Ayers and Dohrn were close associates for years with President Obama, while Evans was a fundraiser and financial bundler for Obama's presidential campaign.
In January, WND reported Ayers, Dohrn and Evans were involved in provoking chaos on the streets of Egypt in an attempt to enter Gaza with the Free Gaza Movement to join in solidarity with the territory's population and leadership.
The three helped to stir riots after the Egyptian government refused to allow a large number of protesters to enter neighboring Gaza. Eventually, the protesters accepted an Egyptian offer of allowing about 100 marchers into Gaza. Once in the territory, those marchers were reportedly met on the Gaza side by Hamas' former Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh.
At the time of the march, Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., wrote a letter in support of a "humanitarian delegation from Massachusetts" to Gaza. Members of Ayers', Dohrn and Evans' group documented on their blogs how Kerry's letter was used at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo while attempting to pressure Egypt to let their group into Gaza.
Images of the letter were also posted on the Electronic Intifada website run by Ali Abunimah, who was with Evans' group in Egypt and who, WND previously reported, spoke at pro-Palestinian events in the 1990s alongside Obama. In one such event, a 1999 fundraiser for Palestinian "refugees," Abunimah recalled introducing Obama on stage.
Dohrn later wrote on a blog that she was briefly detained at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo following the January protests there by her group: "Bill and I went to the American Embassy at 10 a.m. and asked to see the ambassador. We were ushered into a holding pen a block away from the embassy building where we joined 35 people already there, surrounded by Egyptian soldiers," she wrote.
Deadly clashes Israeli Naval Forces intercepted the flotilla today attempting to break the maritime closure of the Gaza Strip.
An Israel Defense Forces spokesperson told WND commandos boarded the ships after numerous warnings from Israel requesting the ships redirect toward the Israeli port of Ashdod, where they would be able to unload their aid supplies, which could then be transferred to the Gaza Strip after undergoing security inspections.
During the boarding of one of the ships, the Marmara, activists onboard attacked IDF naval personnel with live fire and light weaponry including knives and clubs, the IDF spokesperson said.
"The demonstrators had clearly prepared their weapons in advance for this specific purpose," said the spokesperson. "As a result of this life-threatening and violent activity, naval forces first employed riot dispersal means, followed by live fire.
"IDF naval personnel encountered severe violence, including use of weaponry prepared in advance in order to attack them," said the spokesperson. The IDF released a YouTube video clearly showing activists attacking Israeli commandos, including attacks with live fire.
Close Obama associates Evans formed Code Pink, a far-left activist organization, in 2002 to protest America's war in Iraq. The group previously met with Hamas and with leaders of the Taliban. Evans was a fundraiser and financial bundler for Obama's presidential campaign. Ayers, meanwhile, became a name in last year's presidential campaign when it was disclosed the radical worked closely with Obama for years. Ayers helped launch Obama's political career with a fundraiser in his home. Obama served on the board of a Chicago nonprofit alongside Ayers. The terrorist later hired Obama to serve as chairman of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, a job Obama later cited as experience that helped qualify him to run for public office.
While at the CAC, Obama and Ayers both granted funds to the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN. WND columnist Jack Cashill has produced a series of persuasive arguments that it was Ayers who ghostwrote Obama's award-winning autobiography, "Dreams from My Father."
Ayers and Dohrn were two of the main founders of the Weather Underground, which bombed the New York City Police headquarters in 1970, the Capitol in 1971 and the Pentagon in 1972. The group was responsible for some 30 bombings aimed at destroying the defense and security infrastructures of the U.S.
Characterizing the Weather Underground as "an American Red Army," Ayers summed up the organization's ideology: "Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home. Kill your parents."
"Everything was absolutely ideal on the day I bombed the Pentagon," Ayers recalled in his 2001 memoir, "Fugitive Days." "The sky was blue. The birds were singing. And the bastards were finally going to get what was coming to them."
Ayers brandished his unrepentant radicalism for years later, as evidenced by his now notorious 2001 interview with the New York Times, published one day after the 9/11 attacks, in which he stated, "I don't regret setting bombs. I feel we didn't do enough."
Ayers posed for a photograph accompanying the New York Times piece that showed him stepping on an American flag. He said of the U.S.: "What a country.

Kung cellphone o iba pang makabagong technology ang pagbabasehan, hindi nagpapahuli ang Pilipinas sa ibang bansa. Rich man o poor, may bitbit na cellphone. Samantalang ang iba pa ay may laptop, iPod, Playstation Portable at iba pa.

There’s no way possible the White House counsel can conducted an honest and proper investigation because of a conflicts of interest.
The American people need to know if a law was broken and only an independent counsel appointed by AG Eric Holder is the only course the Obama administration, who promised honest dealing and transparency in Washington, can make.

The reason why we have Liberty in this country, the reason why so many in the world want to come to our shores for a better life, the reason why we are an exceptional nation which has done more for the cause of freedom around the world is because brave men and women in our armed forces have paid the ultimate price with their shed blood.
It was tactical, technical. It was a battle, but not in the toe-to-toe manner that many had hoped after the two men had been at each other for months. But the tactical ploys came mainly from Rashad. Indeed, Evans employed his game plan to such good effect, Jackson looked one-dimensional for long periods of the fight, struggling to find his range against the bobbing, weaving, ducking and diving agility of Evans.
Rampage wanted an old-fashioned tear-up. So did the sell-out crowd. But that is not what they got. If they were booing Rashad before the contest, they were hissing him afterwards. That said, no one can take away the fact that he nullified Jackson, took him to the ground, put him up against the wall of the Octagon, and, in the opening salvoes, hit his opponent with a crisp overhead right hand that sent him sprawling off balance.
Rashad won the first two rounds clearly. Rampage Jackson’s corner believed so, too, telling theitr man he needed a knockout as he prepared, on his stool, for the third period. Indeed, Rampage should have gone for broke in the third, after clipping Rashad across the top of the head and scrambling his senses. When they got back to their feet, the Floridian seemed to stand off Evans when in fact he should have jumped on him. With the victory, Evans became the light heavyweight championship title challenger against Mauricio “Shogun” Rua. On the cards, judges Sal D’Amato had it 29-28, with Glenn Trowbridge and Marcos Rosales a shut out 30-27 for Evans. I gave Rampage the third, Rashad the first two rounds.
Evans’ game plan, moving in and out quickly, circling, staying low, worked perfectly, and it was a fight in which the clock appeared to tick down quickly. They were up against the Octagon wall for long periods, with little happening. It was Evans’ game plan to nullify Jackson’s one-punch KO power; it worked – and tired the former UFC 205 lb champion. No question about that. It told in the third round.
Although the comportment was respectful between the two fighters within the combat zone afterwards, Jackson called for a re-match. Evans said he would do it again, too. “Rashad can still kiss my a**. He fought a good fight, but he can still kiss my a**. He said a whole lot of stuff and I ain’t going to forget it. We’re both warriors and I’m not a sore loser. I’m a fighter and I’ve been a fighter all my life. But with the stuff he said…”
“I feel tonight wasn’t the real me,” Jackson said. “I hesitated too much and I just don’t feel I was at my best. I’m not going to sit here and make excuses. Rashad is a good fighter. He proved that. That’s why I respect him. He proved that. He had a good strategy and he was real quick. I was surprised he took me down, but I still feel I’m on another level.”
UFC president Dana White said: “It was the right game plan from Rashad – to use his speed, agility and athleticis, and get the takedowns. Rampage was going to come forward and throw leather; I thought Rampage looked good, when he did catch Rashad in the third round, he got after him. Rashad looked strong, agile, explosive. You knew Rashad would be ready for a fight. The fight went the way I thought it would go.”
The event had gained epic proportions this week in Las Vegas. White believes it was not only the Evans-Jackson fight. “This became a huge event. It was the launch of the video game, we had this fight, the expo going on. It translated.”
On Rampage’s future, White added: “I think that there’s a lot of talk – the grass is never greener on the other side. This is where Rampage makes a lot of money. He made a great movie – I’m hearing he did a great job, it will be a big smash summer. Rashad was the winner in this fight, he’ll get the title shot, and Rampage will jump back in line.”
“People were booing at stupid stuff tonight,” White said. “Guys aren’t going to run out there and throw haymakers. There is strategy and these guys have game plans. They’re not going to run in like a train wreck at each other. The crowd was really fired up tonight.”
There will be a Rashad-Rampage II. I wouldn’t mind betting it will be for the 205lb UFC belt which both men have held previously. Maybe next time, they can really get down to business. Because this was not what we were all expecting
Lahat ng ito'y pangarap ang pinagmulan Bawat hakbang ay sabay nating pinagdaanan Narating na natin ang gustong paroonan Ito and tagumpay na ating inasam
Sikap ang ating pinuhunan Lakas natin ay pagmamahal ang pinagkunan Layunin nati'y magbigay kasiyahan Tagumpay tayo ay sinuklian
Ipagmalaki ang tagumpay Sanhi ng sayang walang kapantay Isigaw nating sabay-sabay Kaysarap maging Kapuso
Buhay ay lalong sumasaya Kapag tayo'y laging magkasama Mas masarap ang tagumpay Kapag sa 'ting minamahal inaalay
Walang hangganan ang lawak ng langit Sa ating pagpanhik walang makakapigil Parang pangarap ating ng nakamit Mas malayong bituin ang ating abutin
