By Micah Halpern
Saturday March 1, 2008 I've Been Thinking: Indecision is the mistake that weak leaders make when they are scared by the ramifications of making decisions. At this point Hamas is pushing for a long, drawn out, low level conflict with Israel. In this case a long, drawn out, low level conflict with Hamas will only hurt Israel. Israel must take a long, hard, clear look at the situation and then make the decision to act - to really act. Time is not on Israel's side. Read my new book THUGS. It's easy. Just click. Hamas is Escalating
By Micah Halpern
Friday February 29, 2008 I've Been Thinking: Hamas is escalating activity into Israel. Hamas has added a new weapon to its arsenal against Israel, the GRAD Rocket. Hamas is begging for Israel to retaliate. This situation is not going away - at this point neither side can or will back down. Read my new book THUGS. It's easy. Just click. Leaks in Iran's Dam
By Micah Halpern
Thursday February 28, 2008 I've Been Thinking: It is unusual to have public disagreement in Iran - especially at the highest levels. Hassan Rowhani is a significant Iranian religious leader and a former nuclear negotiator and advisor. "This is not a foreign policy. We need to find an accommodating way to decrease the threats and assure the interests of the country." "If the international community thinks that a country wants to play troublemaker and eliminate others, it will not let the country do this and will confront it." "We must act in such a way that the world understands that we are ready for more flexibility and more dialogue." Even the best dams sometimes spring leaks. Read my new book THUGS. It's easy.

By Micah Halpern
Wednesday February 27, 2008 Column: There are war games. There are diplomatic games. There are mind games. And there are just plain - games. Monopoly, the most popular game in the world, produced by Hasbro, one of the most successful game sellers in the world, used to be just a game, a fun, simple, wildly popular game. And then Hasbro decided to take the game one step further. Hasbro already had the Banking Edition, the SquarePants Edition, the Junior Disney Princess Edition, but they did not yet have the World Edition. So Hasbro came up with a plan to invite fan participation and create Monopoly Here and Now: The World Edition. The invitation went out from headquarters in Pawtucket, Rhode Island to the entire online world - vote for you favorite city anywhere in the world and the cities with the most votes will win spots around the coveted Monopoly board. That's when the fun stopped. That's when true competition stepped in. That's when Hasbro - unwittingly - stepped out of the realm of gamesmanship and into the real world of politics and diplomacy. Problem was, votes came in for the city of Jerusalem, Israel. Problem is, the Arab world does not believe that Jerusalem belongs to Israel, the Palestinians want Jerusalem for their own capital city one day. The problem was solved by an independent-thinking Hasbro employee in the London office. Just take out the comma and the word Israel. London remained London comma England, Paris remained Paris comma France, Istanbul a frontrunner for first place remained Istanbul comma Turkey and Jerusalem was left to stand alone. And that did not sit well with Israel's friends. Hasbro does not like to make enemies. Hasbro will do almost anything to avoid alienating clients. Politics is one property that Hasbro does not want to land on. So Hasbro made another decision and this time the decision came from way high up the management chain. All the commas and all the countries were dropped. After all, Hasbro was really only interested in city names for their game. The plan is working, Hasbro dodged the bullet. Truthfully, Hasbro did the right thing. Hasbro should not be in the game of politics and diplomacy. It's not good for business. That game is best played by governments and law makers. And the government of the United States of America is playing the Jerusalem game right now. The United States government, like Hasbro, has dropped the comma and the country from the passports off all US citizens born in the city of Jerusalem. That's right. If you are a US citizen born in Jerusalem your official, listed, country of birth is ---, left blank. There's more. Jerusalem is the only city in the world with two United States consulates. One is in East Jerusalem, one is in West Jerusalem. The embassy is in Tel Aviv. Year ago, there was need for two consulates because Jerusalem was in two countries - Jordan and Israel. But that was 41 years ago, everything changed in 1967. When Berlin was divided they, too, had two consulates. The wall came down and one of the embassies went away. Not so in Jerusalem. The current presidential campaign is the first campaign in recent history during which no candidate has declared that moving the United States Embassy in Israel to the city of Jerusalem is a priority. In other campaigns Israel was discussed and promises were made. OK, the promises were broken, but the inequity was an issue that was opened up and discussed. Congress even passed an act to move the embassy. The reason it has never happened is because of a presidential waiver written into the law that requires the State Department to agree and traditionally, both professionals and career people in State, have a real problem designating Jerusalem as Israel's capital. It's about time that the world recognizes that Israel has made her own choice. And Israel has chosen Jerusalem. Jerusalem, comma, Israel. Read my new book THUGS. It's easy. Just click. Heroes of Sderot
By Micah Halpern
Tuesday February 26, 2008 I've Been Thinking: Another Qassam hit Sdreot yesterday. Red Alerts are a part of life for Yossi and the other residents of Sderot. A red alert sounded just as Yossi and his eight year old sister Maria came home from school. Maria said that Yossi did not cry, she said he was in a lot of pain. The Qassam ripped his shoulder. The Popular Resistance Committees of the Palestinians (The PRC) claimed responsibility for the attack. The PRC is not embarrassed that their great resistance fighters hurt a child. Ten year old Yossi is now a hero. Read my new book THUGS. It's easy. Just click. It's Hard Being A Dictator
By Micah Halpern
Monday February 25, 2008 I've Been Thinking: Castro has been quoted saying that he was relieved to have stepped down and that governing has exhausted him. Being a dictator is a 24/7 job. In modern oppressive regimes dictators rule with an iron fist - the people must be kept in line, but at the same time, the people cannot be pushed too very hard. Dictators are micro managers. Controlling the lives of an entire country is exhausting work. Read my new book THUGS. It's easy. Just click. Hezbollah's Sermon
By Micah Halpern
Sunday February 24, 2008 I've Been Thinking: Hezbollah leader Nasrallah recently broadcast a fiery sermon from a Beirut mosque. He said: "In Israel there is a unanimous agreement that it lost the war. Using the word's of Ben-Gurion [the first prime minister of Israel] that if Israel loses one war it will approach its end, one can understand that this is the situation." He said: "Now the Israelis are threatening us with war." "In the next war IDF will be destroyed" He said: "If a new war breaks out, they know their air force won't be enough to win the war. They have done all they can and have failed. We are ready for a conflict, are ready to defend and are ready to create a new victory, God willing, with all the faith and all the pride. No one can defend himself against our missiles." Do you hear shades of Ahmadinejad? Read my new book THUGS. It's easy. Just click. Why Iran Needs Nukes

By Micah Halpern
Friday February 22, 2008 I've Been Thinking: New details are emerging on the capture, in Morocco, of a large terror cell. MAP, the official media outlet of Morocco, announced that 32 terrorists in total have been arrested. Over the past few years this group has supported itself through international treacheries including an armored car robbery in Luxembourg and a jewelry heist in Belgium after which the loot was melted down and sold. This group wanted to assassinate Moroccan cabinet ministers. Great job Morocco. Read my new book THUGS. It's easy. Just click. THE SIEGE OF SDEROT
By Micah Halpern
Thursday February 21, 2008 Column: The numbers are numbing. Do the calculation. Fifty days. Four hundred Qassam rockets. If Qassam rockets continue to be fired off at this rate by the end of the year Israel will have been hit by almost two thousand eight hundred rockets. Last year, 2007, there were one thousand one hundred and fifty rockets hitting Israel from Gaza. This year, 2008, the projected number - if the situation remains unchecked - will be three times this year's total. That means two thousand eight hundred enemy rockets hurdling into Israel. Those mind boggling statistics refer just to rockets. What about the people? What about the people who will be forced to run for shelter 2,800 times this year. What about the kids? Just think about it, a child born into the city of Sderot within the past six years has never known what it is NOT to run for shelter on a regular basis. Has never known that meals are NOT supposed to be interrupted by blasts. Has never known that other people sleep peacefully at night. Cannot know that bedwetting is not the norm, that shaking and difficulty concentrating are not normal childhood behaviors. Has never known life without Qassams. And what is being done to secure the lives of these people on the brink - on the brink of society, on the brink of sanity, on the brink of the country they call their own - secure rooms are planned for their homes. 3,150 rooms will receive fortification in the near future inside homes that are within a one mile range of Israel's border with Gaza. Do not misunderstand, 3,150 homes will not be fortified. A designated room within each of 3,150 homes will be fortified. It's called a safe room, a secure room. It's where you go when everything around you is scary and unsafe, when your world is literally crumbling down upon you. In a briefing given to the government by Brigadier General Yair Golan, head of the Home Front Command, that same briefing that announced the 3,150 safe rooms, members of Israel's Knesset were informed that since the year 2001 $138 million has been spent in the defense of civilians living in the area around Gaza. Now do that calculation. In seven years one hundred and thirty eight million dollars was spent. In other words, about $19 million dollars per year has been spent to protect Israeli citizens - locked into their homes because they have no place else to go - from Qassam rockets. $19 million for the people in need is a paltry sum. It is an embarrassingly paltry sum. It is smaller than the annual budget for Knesset travel. Why are Israel's decision makers incapable of defending Israel's poorest citizens? "Why," as one general put is "are Israeli children on the front line and not soldiers?" It is not the role of children to sit, to play, to learn, to live in a bomb zone. It is the role of the government to protect those young citizens. The story of the Siege of the Qassams upon Israel is the story of 21st Century international diplomacy. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and members of his government have been traveling the world talking to world leaders trying to get the nod of approval for a sustained Israeli strike against Hamas forces in Gaza. Israel wants to set the groundwork for the propaganda battle that will inevitably ensue after an attack. Israel's intentions are admirable - but time is being wasted. It is a pre-determined, historically-validated given that most of the world will condemn Israel even as they tacitly acknowledge the moral right of a country to defend her citizens. Why scurry around the world begging for permission to do what you know must inevitably be done with or without permission? Why waste time, risk more lives, incur more injuries, ruin more lives? Just plan and implement multiple sets of attacks, strategies and counter attacks. Include media plans along with the military plans. Do it before more young boy lose their legs. Do it now. Do it before a horrific disaster. Quite frankly, that is my fear. I fear that Israel is waiting for a sign - an awful, disastrous, costly sign - to legitimize an Israeli attack against Hamas. I fear that Israel will wait until a Qassam hits a house and kills a family. I fear that Israel will wait until a terror attack from Gaza successfully infiltrates into Israel and people are murdered. The founders of the Jewish State were obsessed with the idea of taking charge. The idea of creating Israel was predicated on moral and historical ideals. One of those ideals was controlling the destiny of the Jewish people, another was providing a safe refuge for Jews from around the world. The Jews have arrived. Protect them. Read my new book THUGS.

By Micah Halpern
Tuesday February 19, 2008 I've Been Thinking: We often fail to realize the value of behind-the-scenes work in battling terror. Yesterday Morocco announced that they arrested 23 people - an entire terror cell, leader included. The cell was set to attack Western and Arab targets. All this was made public by MAP the official Moroccan state news agency. Al Qaeda runs freely across the Arab world. Morocco has now made a choice. Read my new book THUGS. It's easy. Just click. Mugniyah Was An Inside Job
By Micah Halpern
Monday February 18, 2008 I've Been Thinking: Michael McConnell is the Director of National Intelligence. He said: "But let's just - let me just mention about Mugniyeh, the person we're talking about - responsible for more deaths of Americans and Israelis than any other terrorist, with the exception of Osama bin Laden." "There was a warrant for his arrest here in this country for a murder of a U.S. citizen. So this man over time had lots of enemies. Remember, he's a Shia, [sic Shiite] and oftentimes his targets could be Sunni as well as against Israel and so on." The list of those wanting Imad Mugniyah dead was long. Read my new book THUGS.

Sunday February 17, 2008 I've Been Thinking: Russia has decided to double the manpower in the Busher nuclear plant in Iran.

Saturday February 16, 2008 I've Beeb Thinking: Iran and Syria form the most powerful nexus in the Middle East right now. Iran's Foreign Minister was just in Syria for meetings. Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, and most of the small Gulf States know that an Iran/Syria alliance means a move to the extreme.

Friday February 15, 2008 I've Been Thinking: Once again, in the name of political/diplomatic correctness, the United States is making a big and potentially costly mistake.

And OK, so Columbia University gave him a platform from which to spew forth his rhetoric.

By Micah Halpern
Thursday February 14, 2008 I've Been Thinking: Know this: People who play with bombs sometimes blow themselves up, too. Yesterday an explosion in Damascus killed one of the worst terrorists in the world. Imad Mugniyah is his name. Mugniyah was the head of operations for Hezbollah for the past 20 plus years. Mugniyah was as important to Hezbollah from the operational side as Hassan Nasrallah is from the religious side. No Hezbollah sponsored terror attack occurred without the OK of Mugniyah. No Hezbollah attack was carried out without his hand in the design and in the execution. Mugniyah masterminded the kidnapping of Israeli soldiers Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev that provoked the war between Israel and Lebanon in the summer of 2006. Mugniyah masterminded the bombing of US Marine barracks and embassy bombings in Beirut. Mugniyah masterminded the bombing of the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires. Mugniyah was the face in the cockpit, behind the pilot, when a TWA jet was hijacked in Beirut in 1985. Read my new book THUGS. It's easy. Just click. Qatar Sues Kuwait Over Israel

Tuesday February 12, 2008 I'm Predicting: The planets are coming into alignment. The intensity of the Qassam attacks on the Israeli city Sderot is increasing. IDF leadership has begun to speak of plans to embark on a wider, prolonged Gaza campaign. Israeli military leadership is saying that Israel can and must defend the homeland and the people. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is in Germany trying to get support for such an operation. The United States has already given quasi approval. I'm predicting that an Israeli military operation into Gaza is in the wings, just waiting for the right excuse to be executed.

By Micah Halpern
Monday February 11, 2008 Column: Sometimes, the pen truly is mightier than the sword. Hamas, in Gaza, has shut down a newspaper called Al Ayyam. A Hamas court ordered that the newspaper cease operations and that the people employed by Al Ayyam in Gaza, there are about thirty-two of them, cease work. The newspaper was ordered closed on Sunday because of a cartoon that appeared on the back page of the paper last November. The cartoon depicted former Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh addressing the Palestinian Parliament. All the men he was addressing looked like clones of the prime minister and they all held photos of the prime minister. The caption on the caricature translates to mean "illegitimate" or "irrelevant." Haniyeh, to this day, is a strong, mighty and fierce Hamas leader. And Hamas leadership took offense at the portrayal. November, December, January, February. What took Hamas so long to react? That, I can't answer. Maybe they read slowly. Maybe this was a down period, maybe they were just looking for something else to be angry about, another way to prove to us all how un-democratic and non-Western they are in thought and in action. But this I can tell you. A Hamas court may have ordered the paper closed, but the paper will not close. Ay Ayyam is a privately owned, Fatah leaning, press. And Al Hayyam is homebased on the West Bank not in Gaza. The thirty-odd reporters who write from Gaza may be forbidden from doing their job, and their lives may be in jeopardy if they continue to post their pieces from elsewhere in cyberspace, but those presses will continue to roll. And given the fact that there are over one million three hundred thousand Palestinians living in Gaza and the fact that only 3,400 copies of the paper were distributed in Gaza, I don't think the publishers will even notice the loss. My high school paper printed more copies And I can tell you that the Hamas declaration ordering the closure of Al Ayyam is another clear and definitive indication of the way in which Hamas is now officially out of control. Hamas is threatened by the slightest criticism. Hamas, right now, reminds me of the Soviets during the Communist era. We in the West encourage critique and thoughtful dialogue. Freedom or expression, especially freedom of the press, is sacrosanct. Western journalists are willing to surrender themselves to prison in order to uphold that freedom, they are not, as in Hamasland, imprisoned for writing for the "wrong" paper. Hamas feels that freedom of the press should be restricted - and even eliminated. Hamas' greatest enemy right now is not Israel. As much as Israel applies pressure upon Hamas, the reality is that Fatah and Egypt are applying even more pressure. Hamas is fighting for survival, but ultimately, not survival against Israel. Israel, right now, is a side show. Israel, right now, is a way for Hamas to let our aggression and pent up hostility. The real battle is being waged within, the battle is against Fatah and against Egypt. A stable Hamas was dangerous. An unstable, out of control Hamas is all that much more dangerous.

By Micah Halpern
Wednesday February 6, 2008 Column: It was a 1 - 2- 3 punch. An increase in terror inside Israel proper was as predictable as it was inevitable. Step one, Gazans breached their border with Egypt. Step two, terrorists from Gaza set up new centers inside Egypt. Step three, the terrorists mobilized. Step four, BOOM. This time the attack took place in a sleepy little city, primarily populated by immigrants and even a group of Black Muslims originally from Chicago. The city is called Dimona, it is home to the most developed nuclear reactor in Israel. The reactor was not the target. A pedestrian mall located in the city's commercial center was the target. What makes this terror attack a classic example of terror attacks? The intention of this attack like all other attacks was to wreak havoc and devastation. The intention of this attack like all other attacks was to maim psychologically even more than to harm physically. What makes this attack dramatically different from so many other attacks? One innocent little old lady who is now dead, one medic who ran to the scene as soon as the boom was heard, one well-trained police officer who saved many other innocent victims from dying and an entire group of people celebrating the deadly attack with candy and song. After scanning the crowd to determine who was most in need of care the Jewish Israeli medic ran to the side of an Arab man lying on the ground. The medic evaluated the condition of the unknown stranger and ripped open his coat to begin administering care. And then he saw the explosive belt still strapped to his body. He had run to the aid of the second of two suicide bombers, a bomber whose worst nightmare had come true. His partner was dead, he was still alive. The medic, Salomon Amar, ran to help a patient as if he were any injured man, not a man dedicated to ending his own life as a mass murderer. Keeping watch was an Israeli policeman who, after rushing to the scene, had cleared out the area to protect those still uninjured from the blast. And when the hand of the suicide bomber reached towards the explosive belt still on his body, as the suicide bomber attempted to complete his mission, Kobi Mor, the policeman, shot him. Kobi Mor shot him four times in the head killing the Arab terrorist, the failed mass murderer. For 73 year old Lyubov Razdolsky, a retired physics professor, it was too late. She was already dead - killed on impact. The attack in Dimona claimed three dead. Two suicide bombers and one old lady so badly disfigured that her sons could only assume that it was she after discovering that their father had been seriously injured and their mother was nowhere else to be found. Over thirty people were injured. And then the celebrations began. These two terrorists were celebrated around the world. Their identities are known and were broadcast on TV and radio. I will not identity them by name, they are not deserving of recognition. They should not be googled, their photos should not be displayed. But the youth of Gaza would disagree with me. Across Gaza young people handed out flowers and candy. Young men and women stood at intersections and stopped cars giving sweet and fragrant gifts in honor of the two murderers. There was shared laughter. There was a feeling of national pride. Until we understand a culture that celebrates brutal killing, a culture that calls terrorists soldiers, a culture that transforms murderers and elevates them to the status of national heroes, we will never succeed in the fight against terror. By reading or listening to the responses of Hamas and of other extremist groups in the Muslim world immediately following this lone attack in the city of Dimona one would think that a death blow had been dealt to Israel. How can anyone truly be convinced that murdering one elderly woman was a death blow to Israel? Hamas and Hamas henchmen, in this case the al Aksa Brigades and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestinians, the groups claiming credit for this attack are not super powers, their operatives are not super heroes, they are simply a band of murderers. They live in order to kill. And their victims are 73 year old women. Read my new book THUGS. It's easy. Just click. George Habash Is Dead
