Tali Fahima, the Kommie and the Kadesha!

by Steven Plaut

Remember Tali Fahima? The Jewish communist Israeli woman who sat in jail for assisting her Palestinian terrorist "boyfriend" plan terror atrocities?  Long the poster girl of the Israeli Left (below).
 

Well, now it seems she is really angry with her terrorist boyfriend.  Not for murdering Jews, mind you, but because she thinks he is collaborating with the Israeli intelligence services and giving them information.   How dare Zubeida betray her to engage in romance with the Zionists!  Talk about a two-timer!  She calls him a, er, uh, let us say "Kadesha."  (Just trying to keep our PG rating here so that we remain a family incitement service.)

Here is the Haaretz report.  Some quotes from the report: 

'Tali Fahima, a Jewish Israeli woman who was tried and convicted for her contacts with Zakariya Zubeidi, former Jenin chief of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, criticized Zubeidi on Thursday, saying that he had turned into the "whore of the Shin Bet security service."  Speaking to Channel 10 news, Fahima complained that Zubeidi, who was once on Israel's most wanted list for his role in the Palestinian resistance, was now on friendly terms with the Shin Bet when it served his purposes.  Fahima referred to Zubeidi's recent request that the Shin Bet allow him leave the West Bank city of Jenin and undergo eye surgery in Ramallah.
 
'The Shin Bet had removed Zubeidi from its most wanted list in a gesture to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas last year, along with other militants who turned in their weapons, on the condition that they refrain from leaving the city in which they live, under close Palestinian police supervision. Fahima's rage was sparked when Zubeidi negotiated with the Shin Bet, which he professed to view as his enemy, over permission to leave Jenin to go to Ramallah.

'Fahima, who served two years in prison for charges which include supporting a terror organization and aiding an enemy during wartime, told Channel 10 "I refuse to see him and I won't even speak to him." She explained that it was Zubeidi's duty to inform the Palestinian people that he had negotiated with the Shin Bet to further his own personal needs.

'Fahima added that Zubeidi "talks about his private pleasures, like being able to travel around without an [IDF] drone following him, like the occupation is over, like everything is fine - It was nice to believe in the fairy tale, but there are no fairy tales in the resistance. Zubeidi is a disgrace to the resistance. We are still living under an occupation."

'However, Fahima added in a personal jab that Zubeidi "is not a big terrorist. A man who fires bullets into the air is not a big terrorist."'
 
The full rant by Fahima is here in Hebrew:

You may recall that dozens of communists and tenured traitors in Israel signed petitions after Fahima's arrest for her role as terrorism accomplice and nominated her for a Nobel Prize!   Really!

See this.  Rachel Giora from Tel Aviv University was one of the initiators.

Not to be confused with a kadesha (see illustration below for those unfamiliar with this important Biblical concept):

Quotes and Notes Corner: The Nazi Nasrallah

by Nissan Ratzlav-Katz

Just so we're clear on this: the Lebanese Iranian proxy Hizbullah is headed by a man intent on a new genocide of the Jews. And if it has to be carried out two Jews at a time, so be it.

As usual in this corner, I am going to let the man speak for himself.

In October 2002, addressing a graduation ceremony in a Beirut neighborhood, Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah claimed that US foreign policy was being manipulated for Zionist ends, such as the return of the Jews to the Land of Israel. However, unbelievable as it seems, Nasrallah then went on to offer an observation in praise of Zionism.

"If they [the Jews] all gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them worldwide," he said.

I know it's just a translation, but I don't think "going after them" in this context means "follow them around." I think the translation is more along the lines of "stabbing, shooting and exploding them." That is to say: jihad.

As in: "...fight and slay the pagans wherever you find them and seize them beleaguer them and lie in wait in every stratagem...." (according to the Koran, the ninth chapter, Al-Tawba, verse 5)

And as in: "Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the last day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Apostle, nor acknowledge the Religion of Truth, even if they are of the People of the Book, until they pay the jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued." (according to the Koran, Al-Tawba, verse 29)

And as in: "It is reported on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah said: I have been commanded to fight against people so long as they do not declare that there is no god but Allah, and he who professed it was guaranteed the protection of his property and life on my behalf except for the right affairs rest with Allah." (according to the Hadith collection Sahih MuslimKitab Al-Iman, Hadith no. 30, and nearly identical Hadith nos. 31-35. Hadith constitute reports of what Muhammad did, said or approved of - all of which constitute binding instruction for the devout Muslim.)
