Famous Case Ends: Shai Dromi Acquitted of Manslaughter
Hillel Fendel, 23 Tammuz 5769/July 15, 2009(IsraelNN.com) Shai Dromi, a Negev farmer who shot and killed a Bedouin thief in January 2007, has been acquitted of manslaughter charges.
The ruling was handed down Wednesday morning in the Be’er Sheva District Court by a majority vote. He was convicted, however, on charges of illegal possession of weapons...
...At his trial, Dromi, who had had a horse and tractor stolen and several dogs killed in the few months prior to the incident, testified as follows: “I awoke at 3 AM to the barking of the guard dog that I acquired after my dogs were poisoned. Even though I was incredibly tired, I got out of bed and walked around the house. After I went back to bed, I again heard the dog barking irregularly. I went out with my weapon and didn’t see anything. I kept walking around [the perimeter of my] sheep pen, and noticed large metal wire-cutters. I panicked. I realized there were men around me."
“I heard a crash from the direction of the sheep pen. I saw four men in front of me all of a sudden. I called out to them and tried to shoot in the air, but my gun did not fire. They yelled something at me, I didn’t understand what. I felt them closing in on me. I tried to see what was wrong with my weapon and then the bullet fired… One of the four was holding a large knife or pruning shears over his head. After the first shot, I fired five more shots at the lower parts of their bodies. My life was in danger and I shot in order to chase them away.”
Dromi was kept in prison for a month immediately following the incident, and was prevented from returning to his farm for a long while after wards.
"We have got to assure them that we will never allow a second Holocaust, despite, again, warnings from Iran and any other country that would seek to destroy Israel…. We will support Israel [and] a two-state solution, building our embassy, also, in Jerusalem--those things that we look forward to being able to accomplish, with this peace-seeking nation, and they have a track record of being able to forge these peace agreements."Um,...a two-state solution? Did you catch that buried within all of the "I love Israel" rhetoric?

Blogmaster’s two agoras worth: If you read below and are gullible, you might actually believe that Israel is planning to tunnel up into the Dome of the Rock and the Al Aqsa Mosques which now sit atop the site of the rapidly approaching Third Temple. Not that such tunneling would be a bad thing; in fact, if such tunnels were being built I would pray that they are as wide as a twelve lane highway and as deep as the Grand Canyon. Nevertheless, we know that Israel would never tunnel beneath those Islamo-Nazi structures for fear of damaging even a speck of paint (world opinion you know). How stupid the readers of the Jordan News Agencies muck must be. Oh well, we all know that al-Qur'an (syn: al-Qa'ida) encourages lies and liars. Moral of the story… Never, Never, Never trust a Muslim, or is it Moslem, or… oh I remember now… Nazi.

7/ Royal Committee of Jerusalem Affairs warns Israeli authorities of implementing new projects in the city
Amman, July 28 (Petra)—
The Royal Committee of Jerusalem Affairs has warned the Israeli authorities of implementing new projects in Jerusalem in the frame of its continued aggression against the city.
The committee stressed that these measures would not only hinder the peace process between the Palestinians and Israelis, but with the Arabs and all the Muslims.The Commission, in a press release published today by its Secretary General Abdullah Kan'an, called on the Israeli government to take immediate action to stop these projects if it wants peace.
It also called on the Quartet envoy Tony Blair to request from Israel to stop these projects that threaten the foundations of peace between Arabs and Israelis, urging him to declare that the continued occupation of Jerusalem and the open assault on the holy sites will not facilitate his mission which he seeks to achieve.
Some of Israeli newspapers revealed the determination of the municipality of occupied Jerusalem to implement new projects in a series of attacks on the holy city and to resume tunneling bottom of the Al-Aqsa Mosque in order to deliver these tunnels to each other and have access to the bottom of the Dome of the Rock mosque and of Al Aqsa Mosque. //Petra// Ashkar29/07/2007 01:40:01

After a while, back home (we live in the Elon Moreh community overlooking Shechem)- we checked the story out. Why do no pizzas get to the soldiers around Shechem? Apparently because there is a shortage of bullet-proof armored pizza delivery trucks- no one from Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, or Netanya was going to drive into the heart of the Shomron (Samaria) to make a delivery! Then we thought a little further: Now we live here, and certainly aren't afraid to make deliveries. And there are small, family run pizza stands in Elon Moreh, Har Bracha and Kedumim- Jewish communities surrounding Shechem. Why not take this great idea and put it into practice here, in the heart of Israel?
So that is how www.shechem.org/pizza was born! We will try to keep this as simple as possible:
