Gerakan Hizbullah Unggul Telak Dari Intel Israel

YERUSALEM (Berita SuaraMedia) - Hizbullah memiliki intelijen informan yang lebih baik daripada Israel dan kendali yang lebih baik atas pasukannya selama Perang Lebanon Kedua, menurut sebuah laporan resmi IDF (Israel Defense Forces/Tentara Pertahanan Israel) yang baru-baru ini disusun oleh seorang perwira atas angkatan laut.

Artikel yang mendapat penghargaan dari Kepala Staf Umum Letnan Jenderal Gabi Ashkenazi tersebut ditulis oleh Lt-Kol. Robi Sandman, dan diterbitkan dalam edisi terbaru Ma'arahot, sebuah jurnal bulanan mengenai isu-isu militer.

Selama penelitian artikel yang diberi judul "Bagaimana orang-orang Arab sedang mempersiapkan diri untuk perang berikutnya," Sandman memerintahkan perwira senior IDF 24 untuk menilai tentara dan Hizbullah dalam 10 kategori, pada skala 1 sampai 10.

Sementara IDF saat ini menikmati fasilitas teknologi tinggi, namun laporan itu justru mengungkapkan bahwa pasukan tentaranya menunjukkan buruknya pengumpulan intelijen untuk Hizbullah, tidak efektif dalam memerintah pasukannya selama perang sebulan, dan kurang memiliki motivasi untuk menang.

Dalam hal agen intelijen, Hizbullah menerima nilai 7 dan IDF  6, dalam hal doktrin dan strategi militer Hizbullah menerima 9 dan IDF yang 5, Dalam hal teknologi, IDF menerima 9 dan Hizbullah yang 5, dalam hal pelatihan dan organisasi, Hizbullah menerima 8 dan IDF 7, dan dalam hal komando taktis Hizbullah menerima 8 dan IDF 6.

24 pejabat senior IDF yang dimintai penilaian juga memutuskan bahwa Hizbullah memiliki motivasi untuk menang lebih besar daripada IDF. Hizbullah mendapat nilai 8 dalam kategori motivasi, sedangkan IDF mencetak gol hanya 4.

Dalam artikel itu, Sandman mengklaim bahwa IDF saat ini dipimpin dengan cara yang tidak akan mampu mencegah ribuan pejuang Hizbullah atau Syiria untuk menyusup jauh ke dalam Israel.

Perang berikutnya, tulisnya, kemungkinan akan mencakup pengiriman ratusan Hizbullah dengan masing-masing tim terdiri dari 4-5 orang pejuang, dipersenjatai dengan peluru kendali anti-tank dan senapan sniper, ke Galilea.

"Kita perlu mengakui bahwa IDF dengan strukturnya saat ini tidak akan dapat memberikan respon terhadap pasukan yang diperlengkapi dengan luar biasa baik yang sedang bangkit untuk menghancurkan Negara Israel," tulisnya.

Ratusan skuad ini akan dapat mengandalkan infrastruktur lokal Israel-Arab di Galilea, tulis Sandman. Dia merekomendasikan agar IDF segera mendirikan pasukan elit pengintai yang mampu melawan ancaman ini.

Sandman juga memperingatkan kemungkinan bahwa dalam konflik di masa depan, Amerika Serikat mungkin tidak akan membantu Israel seperti yang terjadi di masa lalu.

Selama perang 2006 dan Perang Yom Kippur pada tahun 1973, AS menerbangkan persenjataan maju ditambah dengan amunisi ke Israel untuk mengisi stok yang terus berkurang.

Sandman memperingatkan dua katalis utama yang menjadikan kemungkinan berkurangnya dukungan. Yang pertama adalah apa yang ia sebut menurunnya pengaruh komunitas Yahudi atas pemerintah AS.

"Tren ini akan terus menjadi lebih buruk, mengacu pada asimilasi dan cepatnya kebangkitan minoritas lain seperti Hispanik, yang saat ini mencapai 30 juta orang di AS," tulisnya.

Yang kedua adalah kemungkinan perubahan dalam pemerintahan dan kebijakan berikutnya yang akan "dapat membuat Israel kehilangan sekutu."

Kesimpulannya, Sandman merekomendasikan IDF untuk meminta AS membangun gudang tambahan untuk persediaan persenjataan darurat di Israel, sekalipun "jika Israel harus membayar untuk perawatannya."

Walaupun saat ini diketahui bahwa AS telah memiliki beberapa gudang persenjataan di Israel.

Rekomendasi kedua adalah bahwa Israel dan AS mengadakan latihan bersama untuk mempersiapkan kemungkinan bahwa IDF suatu hari akan berada di bawah ancaman dan memerlukan dukungan pasukan Amerika.

"Dukungan semacam ini akan menjadi penting suatu hari dalam keadaan darurat, namun sekaligus juga berfungsi sebagai penghalang untuk musuh ketika merencanakan sebuah serangan," tulisnya. (ad/jp/wp) Dikutip oleh www.suaramedia.com

'Backstreet IDF Boys' Bikin Militer Israel Murka

http://www.eramuslim.com/berita/palestina/backstreet-idf-boys-bikin-militer-israel-murka.htm

Sekelompok pasukan Israel yang sedang bosan dalam menjalankan patroli mereka di kota Hebron Tepi Barat telah menuai kemarahan pihak militer Israel, setelah sebuah video clip mereka diposting ke situs berbagi video Youtube.

Dalam video yang hanya berdurasi kurang dari dua menit tersebut, nampak sekelompok pasukan Israel yang berjumlah enam orang dengan bersenjata senapan serbu sedang berkeliaran di jalanan kosong kota Hebron sewaktu suara adzan panggilan shalat terdengar di kota tersebut.

Tiba-tiba, terdengar suara musik dari penyanyi AS Kesha dengan lagunya "Tick Tock" menghentikan langkah para tentara yang sedang berpatroli itu. Dan selang beberapa saat ke enam tentara yang sedang kurang kerjaan tersebut mulai bergoyang, bergerak, menari - meskipun masih agak kikuk - dengan gaya tarian Spanyol Macarena mengikuti irama musik "Tick Tock".

"Tonight I'm gonna fight, Till we see the sunlight, Tick tock on the clock but the party don't stop, no," sepotong bait lagu dari penyanyi pop AS Kesha yang mengiringi tarian para Backstreet IDF Boys jadi-jadian tersebut.

Tidak beberapa lama setelah mereka menari, tiba-tiba para prajurit itu segera kembali ke posisi mereka dan kembali melakukan serta melanjutkan patroli di jalanan kota Hebron, kota di mana sekitar 600 pemukim Israel garis keras tinggal di tengah-tengah 160.000 warga Palestina.

Video ini sempat mendapat view yang tinggi namun Senin kemarin video yang bertajuk "Battalion 50 Rock the Hebron Casbah" sempat menghilang dari Youtube, sepertinya diturunkan oleh orang yang menguploadnya. Namun hari ini sudah ada puluhan video sejenis yang terposting di Youtube.

Pihak Militer Murka

Pihak militer Israel sendiri marah dengan video yang beredar di Youtube tersebut, mereka mengatakan: "Ini adalah lelucon yang dibuat oleh para tentara Israel dan kejadian ini sedang diselidiki oleh komandan batalion," kata pernyataan singkat militer Israel.

Dan militer Israel menegaskan mereka akan menghukum para Backstreet IDF Boys jadi-jadian ini, karena dianggap melakukan sesuatu yang tidak pantas selama menjalankan operasi militer.

Video sejenis yang kembali banyak beredar di Youtube bahkan ada yang memberi judul "It's easy to laugh at the occupation when you're the oppressor" (Sangat mudah untuk tertawa di tanah pendudukan ketika anda menjadi seorang penindas.(fq/aby)

When Israelis Burned Bibles, Most Christians Were Silent

By Rev. Ted Pike
9-14-10

 

Two and a half years ago, in an incident evocative of the recent threat by Florida pastor Rev. Terry Jones to burn copies of the Qur'an, Jewish religious students in Israel burned Christian New Testaments ­ by the hundreds.   AP: "Orthodox Jews set fire to hundreds of copies of the New Testament in the latest act of violence against Christian missionaries in the Holy Land. Or Yehuda Deputy Mayor Uzi Aharon said missionaries recently entered a neighborhood in the predominantly religious town of 34,000 in central Israel, distributing hundreds of New Testaments and missionary materials." Aharon said he "got into a loudspeaker car last Thursday and drove through the neighborhood, urging people to turn over the material to Jewish religious students the books were dumped into a pile and set fire in a lot near a synagogue." Aharon claimed it is "a commandment [in Talmudic Judaism] to burn materials that urge Jews to convert.'" (Haaretz, "Orthodox Jewish youths burn New Testaments in Or Yehuda,")   At that time, there were some reports in western, even Christian media, of this outrage ­ yet nothing compared to the worldwide indignation against the Florida pastor. No major leader or denomination publically criticized the burning or the government of Israel, which neither forcefully criticized nor did anything to punish the offenders. Here we see the too familiar dichotomy: Last week an extremist Christian pastor was held up to international contempt for his threatened desecration and lack of "respect for diversity." The floodgates of international media poured forth unlimited copy, alerting the world of what a Christian might do.   But do you remember significant protest by Christian media and leaders in 2008 of the actual burning of a great religion's most sacred text, as well as continuing persecution of the Messianic Jews in Israel who distributed the offending New Testaments? Did Messianic Jew Jay Sekulow's American Center for Law and Justice rail against that violation of the human rights of his spiritual brethren? Did WorldNetDaily's Joseph Farah write a fiery editorial accusing the government of Israel of habitually doing nothing to oppose the persecution of some ten thousand Messianic Christians by ultra-Orthodox Jews? Of course not.   We know well the reason for this double standard: If a public figure or organization criticizes Israel, Jewish attack groups will smear them as "anti-Semitic," effectively ruining their careers or ministries. The Jewish media and "Holocaust industry" has taught us for generations that Jews are the historic victims of Christianity and that criticism of Jews could lead to more gas chambers.   It's all right then, even fitting, that Christians be mocked, persecuted, stripped of their religious symbols and holidays, because, according to popular ADL-nurtured culture, Christianity needs to be taken down a notch. The Jews, however, have demanded from respectable society, and generally received, perpetual exemption from criticism. As we have been seeing more frequently of late, if a public figure criticizes matters Jewish, the Anti-Defamation League will force him to grovel in apology, a rite of contrition an ADL-conditioned society considers appropriate.   As a result, all it takes is the intolerance of one Christian pastor to ignite international furor. But arousing righteous indignation against the Jews in Israel who have demonstrated at least equal bigotry is like trying to make rain-soaked kindling catch fire ­ almost impossible.   ADL's Pro-Islam Strategy   Lurking in the wings of Rev. Jones' high drama is the Anti-Defamation League, ever alert to ways that will stereotype evangelical Christians as bigoted, possibly violent, haters. Here's how ADL is working to protect Islam in America so that anti-Islamic Christian/conservatives will appear narrow and mean spirited, potential "hate criminals."   As I point out in my video "Hate Law Jihad" (available at Truthtellers.org), while very little appreciation of Islam exists in Israel, Israel's PR representative, ADL, has chosen a vastly different strategy in the West. In order to make right-wing critics of Islam into hate criminals, ADL is now promoting Islamic rights, creating hate laws that harshly criminalize those who publicly demean Islam. With Christians force-fed the Zionist lie that militant Islam is the greatest threat to civilization, ADL knows that members of the religious right, outspoken against it, are abundant candidates to become offenders under ADL-inspired hate laws. Thus, in ADL's hard line hate crimes nations, such as Canada, England, Holland, France and Australia, the indigenous Islamic councils work closely with ADL to mete out the harshest penalties against Christian "haters."   But ADL also wants to make criticism of Islam a federal offense in America. To that end, ADL is orchestrating a coalition of Muslim, Jewish, and Christian groups to advocate for mosque-building rights in America and take measures against those who are "intolerant" in opposition. "Working under the sponsorship of the Anti-Defamation League, which initiated the concept, ICOM [The Interfaith Coalition on Mosques] will carefully monitor incidents of mosque discrimination around the country, gather facts and analyze the information, and speak out when appropriate to help Muslim communities who are encountering prejudice." (adl.org, "Interfaith Coalition to Assist American Muslim Communities Facing Opposition to Building Mosques,")   ADL: Not Really Afraid of Islam   You may ask: "But doesn't ADL/Zionism fear that by encouraging Islam it is creating a potent rival to its own dream of world domination?" Actually, until the advent of Zionism a little more than a century ago, Jews and Muslims got along very well. Both religions, largely founded on the Old Testament, are strictly monotheistic, abhorring the Christian Trinitarian claim that the Godhead is three in one. Since Islam does not teach Jesus was crucified, it has never laid the charge of "Christ killers" upon the Jews. This has made Jews much more secure, especially in medieval times in Muslim lands. But now ADL is relatively comfortable with encouragement of Islam in the West because Zionism has demonstrated over the past century that, even though their former friends have become enemies, the Jews will probably always be able to outwit, frustrate, and contain the Muslim/Arab world.   The Jews have shown themselves as organized as the Muslims are disorganized. Even before the Balfour Declaration and subsequent Sykes-Picot Treaty supplanted Arab rights to Palestine, Jewish brains and capital, deeply entrenched in the nations and governments of the west, rendered Arab resistance virtually impotent. Yes, Islam wants to conquer the world through its high birth rate, proliferation of mosques, and imposition of Sharia and ADL-inspired hate crimes laws everywhere. Yet looming much more powerfully than possible Islamic expansion is the established, formidable reality of Jewish control of international finance, governments, big media, Congress, and even the popular evangelical movement. In short, the Jews will always be able to handle the Muslims, and for this reason ADL sees alliance with Islam in America as a powerful tool.   Despite a century of infatuation with Israel among evangelical Christians, the truth is that authentic, New Testament Christianity (if it is ever widely re-discovered) still poses the greatest threat to Jewish supremacism. The New Testament is filled not only with adverse commentary upon Rabbinic (pharisaic) Judaism, exhorting believers to be suspicious of it and deny its spiritual validity, but is an ever-indicting testimony that the Jews had Christ killed.   Just as rankling to Judaism are the commands of Jesus to convert Jews to their true Messiah. Add to this the fact that in "Christian" America at least half of young Jewish men are marrying Gentile brides. Jewish leaders see Christian-encouraged proselytization, as well as assimilation, as tantamount to potential spiritual and genetic genocide of the Jewish people.   ADL's Strategy Becomes Clear   With this in mind, we can understand why ADL is now aligning itself with Islam in America and western nations and why Jewish big media has been publicizing, and vilifying, the bigotry of an obscure Christian pastor.   How do Christians/conservatives counter such manipulation against them? By recognizing that Jewish supremacism poses a vastly greater threat to civilization than does Islam. They should speak out against it without fear of being called "anti-Semitic" or being cursed by God for criticizing His chosen people. Christians can also bring themselves and others into reality by simply doing what Christ taught ­ not showing special respect to some (the Jews) but instead responding with simple compassion to the sufferings of their Messianic brethren in Israel. Reports continue to come out of Israel that the ultra-Orthodox "Haredim" only increase in their militant discrimination and harassment against Messianic Christians, assisted by an Israeli government that looks the other way.   No longer should Christians also look the other way when they hear of Israel's state-permitted persecution of Christians. No longer should they allow millions of dollars to be sent by Pastor John Hagee to fund the ultra-Orthodox persecutors of their Messianic brethren. (See, Hagee: Tea-Partyin' American Heretic) Now, as never before, Christians must be responsive to the question put to them by the apostle John: "But whoever beholds his brother in need and closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him?"

Hundreds of New Testaments torched in Israel

May 28, 2008|By Mark Bixler CNN

Police in Israel are investigating the burning of hundreds of New Testaments in a city near Tel Aviv, an incident that has alarmed advocates of religious freedom.

Investigators plan to review photographs and footage showing "a fairly large" number of New Testaments being torched this month in the city of Or-Yehuda, a police spokesman, Micky Rosenfeld, said Wednesday.

News accounts in Israel have quoted Uzi Aharon, the deputy mayor of Or-Yehuda, as saying he organized students who burned several hundred copies of the New Testament. The deputy mayor gave interviews to Israeli radio and television stations after word of the incident surfaced about two weeks ago.

Soon he was talking with Russian, Italian and French television stations, "explaining to their highly offended audiences back home how he had not meant for the Bibles to be burned, and trying to undo the damage caused by the news (and photographs) of Jews burning New Testaments," The Jerusalem Post reported.

Aharon told CNN on Wednesday that he collected New Testaments and other "Messianic propaganda" that had been handed out in the city but that he did not plan or organize a burning. Instead, he said, three teenagers set fire to a pile of New Testaments while he was not present. Once he learned what was going on, he said, he stopped the burning.

The episode has worried defenders of Israel's minority population of Messianic Jews, who consider themselves Jewish but believe in the divinity of Jesus, as do Christians. It also has concerned evangelical Christians in North America, Europe and Asia, who visit Israel by the hundreds of thousands.

Calev Myers, an attorney for Messianic Jews in Israel, told CNN he plans to file a formal complaint Thursday with the national police at the request of the United Christian Council in Israel, an umbrella organization for a few dozen Christian organizations outside Israel.

"I hope the people who are responsible for breaking the law will be indicted and prosecuted," he said.

About 200 New Testaments were burned, Aharon said, but he saved another 200.

His goal was to stop attempts to distribute Christian literature in the city, he said.

Myers, however, said he doubts that Messianic Jewish missionaries distributed the New Testaments. He said it's not clear how the volumes found their way into homes in Or-Yehuda.
