"En död när Israel slog till mot Syrien efter racketanfall(!)"

DN skriver enligt rubriken.  De lyckas helt undvika att berätta att Iran ligger bakom, nu när EU desperat försöker odla handeln med Iran för att stödja deras terrorsupport mot Israel och andra stater i Mellanöstern. Du kan komplettera här:

Netanyahu: 'You Rush to Embrace Iran, They Fire Rockets at Us'

Israel to West: 'Your Partner Iran Attacked Us; Your Response?'

EU har hellre ett kärnvärldskrig än säger emot Obongon. Innan avtalet var underskrivet sa flera EU-stater att de aldrig skulle skriva under som det såg ut då, utan några möjligheter för IAEA att undersöka men plötsligt gick de på allting.

 Den välkända brittiske befälhavaren överste Kemp, känd för att ha gjort många kritiska uttalanden, som mot Goldstones saga om Gaza, som han själv drog tillbaka (men inte Säkerhetsrådet eller Bildt), säger om EU:s velighet:

"Europa Saknar viljan att konfrontera ondskan som Iran representerar (INTERVJU)

AUG 18, 2015 11:30

Europa är en "mycket svag kontinent som saknar viljan att stå upp och konfrontera det onda som Iran utgör", förklarade den tidigare befälhavare för de brittiska styrkorna i Afghanistan, överste Richard Kemp på måndagen.

Talande till The Algemeiner, Kemp kallade kärnavtalet som träffades av stormakter inklusive Storbritannien, Frankrike och Tyskland, och Iran, "eftergiftspolitik", att jämföra situationen med 1930-talet och och 1940 års Europa, där en rad fördrag mellan världsmakterna slutligen ledde till utbrottet av andra världskriget.

Han sade att det finns en "bedövande tystnad" i Europa och en brist på ledarskap att stå upp mot Iran - som han förutspådde skulle utan tvekan skaffa sig kärnvapen - och noterade en överväldigande "rädsla för framåtanda" i hela Europa, särskilt bland politiker och militära ledare, som Kemp sade omfattar individer "som borde veta och förstå verkligheten i Mellanöstern."

Men de europeiska militära tjänstemännen "har vilselett världen", fortsatte han. "Många av dem förstår inte Iran."

Att påstå att i Europa "hör vi nästan ingea oliktänkande" till affären, hävdade Kemp har det verkligen varit politiskt tryck på militära tjänstemän som är motståndare till 14 juli-avtalet vilket tillkännagavs i Wien, att förbli tysta: "Det sista [politikerna] vill är att inflytelserika militära ledare talar ut mot affären. "

Han sade att han hade talat "till vissa generaler och högre pensionerade tjänstemän, och de låtsas hellre att problemet [med av Iran] inte existerar"

Kemp varnade även att Ryssland och Kina, två andra världsmakter som var engagerade i de nukleära samtalen, liksom Iran, "har mycket större viljestyrka och ryggrad än något västland visar för närvarande."

"Jag är rädd att denna typ av eftergifter till Iran kommer att leda till instabilitet i Asien och världen", sade han.

Kemp har också uppmanat europeiska militärmakter "att erkänna det iranska hotet mot Israel ... Vi bör inse att Israel är vår främsta allierade i Mellanöstern."

Retired British Col. and former commander of British troops in Afghanistan, Richard Kemp .

Europe is a “very weak continent lacking the willpower to stand up and confront the evil that Iran represents,” declared the former commander of British forces in Afghanistan, Col. Richard Kemp on Monday.

Speaking to The Algemeiner, Kemp called the nuclear deal struck by world powers including the U.K., France and Germany, and Iran, “appeasement,” comparing the situation to 1930’s and and 1940’s Europe, where a series of treaties between world powers ultimately led to the outbreak of World War II.

He said there is a “deafening silence” in Europe and a lack of leadership to stand up to Iran — which he predicted would undoubtedly move to acquire nuclear weapons — and noted an overwhelming “fear of hawkishness” throughout Europe, especially among politicians and military leaders, which Kemp said includes individuals “who should know and understand the realities of the Middle East.”

But European military officials “are in a deluded world,” he continued. “Many of them don’t understand Iran.”

Stating that in Europe “we hear virtually no dissent” to the deal, Kemp claimed there has certainly been political pressure on military officials who are opposed to the July 14 agreement announced in Vienna to remain mum: “The last thing [politicians ] want is influential military leaders speaking out against the deal.”

He said he had spoken “to some generals and senior retired officials, and they’d rather just pretend the problem [posed by Iran] does not exist.”

Kemp even warned that Russia and China, two other world powers who were engaged in the nuclear talks, as well as Iran, “have far greater will power and backbone than any Western country is showing at present.”

“I fear that this kind of appeasement of Iran is going to lead to instability in Asia and the world,” he said.

Kemp also called on European military powers “to recognize the Iranian threat to Israel … We should recognize that Israel is our main ally in the Middle East.”

British Commander: Anti-Israel UN Report is Dangerous

British Army Colonel (ret.) Richard Kemp, former Commander of the British Forces in Afghanistan, completely deconstructed and debunked the UN report which on Monday accused Israel of "war crimes" in its fight against Hamas terrorists in Gaza last summer.

Writing in an op-ed on Thursday in the New York Times, the colonel explained how the report, led by Judge Mary McGowan Davis of theinfamous Goldstone Report which likewise charged "war crimes," constitutes a threat and "can only provoke further violence and loss of life."

"The report starts by attributing responsibility for the conflict to Israel’s 'protracted occupation of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip,' as well as the blockade of Gaza," wrote Kemp. "Israel withdrew from Gaza 10 years ago. In 2007 it imposed a selective blockade only in response to attacks by Hamas and the import of munitions and military matériel from Iran. The conflict last summer, which began with a dramatic escalation in rocket attacks targeting Israeli civilians, was a continuation of Hamas’s war of aggression."

The military expert noted that while the report accuses Israel of breaching international law, "no evidence is put forward to substantiate these accusations. It is as though the drafters of the report believe that any civilian death in war must be illegal."

He added that the report "is characterized by a lack of understanding of warfare. That is hardly surprising. Judge Davis admitted, when I testified before her in February, that the commission, though investigating a war, had no military expertise. Perhaps that is why no attempt has been made to judge Israeli military operations against the practices of other armies. Without such international benchmarks, the report’s findings are meaningless."

Kemp pointed out that the report claims the IDF's "use of air, tank and artillery fire in populated areas may constitute a war crime...yet these same systems were used extensively by American and British forces in similar circumstances in Iraq and Afghanistan. They are often vital in saving the livesof our own soldiers, and their curtailment would jeopardize military effectiveness while handing an advantage to our enemies."

Further, while the report condemns Israel for causing civilian casualties, it offers no suggestions as to what more Israel could have done to avoid such casualties faced with Hamas's tactics of embedding its terrorist infrastructure among civilian centers, he said.

The report "even criticizes Israel for using harmless explosive devices - the 'knock on the roof' - as a final warning to evacuate targeted buildings, suggesting that it created confusion. No other country uses roof­knocks, a munition developed by Israel as part of a series of I.D.F. warning procedures, including text messages, phone calls and leaflet drops, that are known to have saved many Palestinian lives."

In fact, international legal experts have slammed the IDF precisely for over-warning residents of Gaza and thereby harming the ability of Western democracies to fight terrorism, something Kemp has warned against as well.

Where does Hamas come in?

Kemp noted that "in an unusual concession, the report suggests that Hamas may have been guilty of war crimes, but it still legitimizes Hamas’s rocket and tunnel attacks and even sympathizes with the geographical challenges in launching rockets at Israeli civilians: 'Gaza’s small size and its population density make it particularly difficult for armed groups always to comply' with the requirement not to launch attacks from civilian areas."

He stated that the large number of Gaza residents who died last summer was not caused by Israeli policy but rather Hamas's strategy, given that the terrorist group deliberately placed its "fighters and munitions in civilian areas, knowing that Israel would have no choice but to attack them and that civilian casualties would result."

"Unable to inflict existential harm on Israel by military means, Hamas sought to cause large numbers of casualties among its own people in order to bring international condemnation and unbearable diplomatic pressure against Israel."

While the report acknowledges the IDF took steps to save lives, it "without foundation accuses 'decision makers at the highest levels of the government of Israel' of a policy of deliberately killing civilians," said Kemp. "Incredibly, she (Judge Davis) 'regrets' that her commission was unable to verify the use of civilian buildings by 'Palestinian armed groups,' yet elsewhere acknowledges Hamas’s widespread use of protected locations, including United Nations schools."

In conclusion, the colonel remarked on the potential security threats posed by the report and the actions it calls for, which could allow Hamas free reign in smuggling weapons into Gaza.

"Most worrying, Judge Davis claims to be 'fully aware of the need for Israel to address its security concerns' while demanding that it 'lift, immediately and unconditionally, the blockade on Gaza,'" he noted. "Along with the report’s endorsement of Hamas’s anti-­Israel narrative, this dangerous recommendation would undoubtedly lead to further bloodshed in both Israel and Gaza."
