The Battle for Israel: November 2011

The IDF Spokesperson’s office is reporting that a delegation of some 60 IDF commanders arrived in Poland on Monday, April 16, as part of the Witnesses in Uniform program. Guided by educators from the Yad VaShem Holocaust Memorial Museum, the officers started a four day study of pre-war Poland, the Holocaust, and contemporary Jewish Polish life. “It is very, very difficult to talk about the six million Jews who were killed in the Holocaust. It’s impossible to comprehend such a number. So the way to make it as comprehensible as possible is through the personal narrative,” said Cpt. Liat Carmi, who oversees the program. This is the 169th Witnesses in Uniform group sent to Poland by the IDF, which plans to send a total of 16 groups just this year. The trip does not focus only the horrors of the Holocaust. “We are talking about a thousand years of Jewish history in Poland,” said Cpt. Carmi. The participants stayed in Warsaw and Krakow, and visited the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp and other memorial sites. At some of the sites, the soldiers held military memorial services. The participants concluded each day of the journey with a reflective discussion. Commanders explored issues such as how to incorporate the ethical lessons gleaned from the journey into their leadership as commanders, how to convey the history of the Holocaust to the soldiers under their command, and how the Holocaust influences their identities as IDF soldiers.

Rachel Hirshfeld The Hollywood screenwriter Joe Eszterhas has accused Mel Gibson of sabotaging the production of a film based on the story of the Jewish Maccabees, after Warner Bros. decided to cancel the project. Eszterhas wrote an extensive letter accusing Gibson, who was expected to direct the film, of prolonged and unabashed anti-Semitism. "I've come to the conclusion that the reason you won't make The Maccabees is the ugliest possible one. You hate Jews," he wrote. Eszterhas alleged that Gibson had told him the Holocaust was "mostly a lot of horseshit" and that his intention in making The Maccabees was "to convert the Jews to Christianity." "You said the Torah made reference to the sacrifice of Christian babies and infants,” Esterhas asserted. “When I told you that you were confusing the Torah with The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, ... you insisted 'it's in the Torah - it's in there!' (It isn't)."

Azeri Language

Foreign Policy magazine reported in an exclusive piece this week that Israel has purchased an Azeri airfield on Iran's northern border, prompting the United States to watch very closely. Journalist Mark Perry wrote the Obama administration is monitoring Israel's relations with Azerbaijan, particularly its military ties. Israel has tightened up its relations with Baku over the past several years, helping Azerbaijan modernize its military with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and becoming its second-largest customer for oil. In particular, the $1.6 billion Israeli deal to jointly manufacture 60 drones of various types with Azerbaijan infuriated Turkey, according to a retired U.S. diplomat quoted in the report. The IDF canceled a $150 million contract to develop and manufacture drones with the Turkish military after Ankara demanded an apology following the Mavi Marmara flotilla attempt to breach Israel's maritime blockade of Gaza. “The Israelis have bought an airfield,” an official told the journalist, “and the airfield is called Azerbaijan.” The Americans believe Israel may use the site as a springboard for an attack on Iran's nuclear plants, or as a landing and refueling spot following one. The site could also be used for aircraft needed for search, rescue and recovery in the wake of an attack.

Lars Vilks, Jesus-pedophile

It is Alciati’s Emblematum Liber (1531) in which the handsome youth Ganymede, who in classical mythology was carried off by Zeus in homosexual mood, has turned into a symbol of the pure soul which finds joy in God, and a later commentator even applied Christ’s command to ‘suffer little children to come to me’ to the story. Consider the case of tailor Jan Tyranowski, aged forty years at the time that Wojtyła met him in the second year of the war. A curious gloss on his bachelordom notes that he had rebuffed the overtures made by various women in his youth. There was an occasional hint of gay ostentation. A picture of him taken around the time he first met Wojtyła reveals him dressed in a white nightgown, sitting bolt-upright in bed between starched lace sheets, like the risen Christ, gazing wide-eyed into the camera.

Angel Gabriel and Virgin Mary

Augustine attacks a problem “whether angels, inusmuch as they are spirits, could have bodily intercourse with women? He reasons on on the ethereal nature of angels, and reaches the conclusion, fortified by many ancient instances, that they can and do. There are, he points out, “many proven instances, that Sylvans and Fauns, who are commonly called 'Incubus' had often made wicked assaults upon women, and satisfied their lusts upon them; and that certain devils, called Duses by the Gauls, are constantly attempting and effecting this impurity” (XV, 23). Thus the great Doctor vindicates the potentiality of the Holy Ghost, in the guise of the angel Gabriel, to maintain carnal copulation with the proliferous yet Ever Virgin .

Hegemonikon or the Ruler of von Lauchen's Heliocentrism

In a short passage in von Lauchen's Narratio (p. 465,12; 462,22,35) he refers to the sun not only as God’s steward of nature and king of all distinguished with divine Majesty, but also explains that the sun, like the heart in a body, guides the stars: like a ruler who does not need to go to various towns in order to execute his official duty, so the heart does not have to go to head, to feet, or to other part of the body in order to sustain life. This was a perennial mantra of all heliocentric astrologers throughout the ages. Aztec priests were accused by the Spaniards of performing 50,000 heart sacrifices a year to renew the vital strength of the sun believed to be the heart of the heaven. The Swastika means so many things: life force, rebirth, divine energy, the soul or spirit, "the inner fire" The Hindus have used Swastikas in the Chakras since ancient times. Buddhists are known for using the Swastika and they have called it the 'Buddha's heart'. In the New Testament the heart is called nous, a term denoting also the sun.

A Graphic Rendition of Copernicus's Book

In 1897 one of the best Polish artists and poet Stanislaw Wyspianski published in the magazine Zycie (Life) which he edited, a drawing by a Czech artist Frantisek Bilek unmasking the Renaissance, pagan religion promoted by Copernicus's Latin book De revolutionibus orbium coelestium. This drawing reminds us the most revealing fact that Copernicus used the macho-logic of pederastic male supremacy so characteristic of the church to this day, to prove his heliocentrism in terms of pagan religion: “we conceive immobility to be nobler and more divine that mutability and instability, which latter is therefore more appropriate to the earth than to the universe. I add to this that it would seem quite absurd to attribute motion to that which contains and locates, rather than to that which is contained and located – namely, the earth.” For scholastic philosophers woman was animal occasionatus...Mulieres non esse homines. Giordano Bruno stressed that “Nature's imperfect is doubtful to no man. The reason is clear; she is only a woman.” and as an old Italian saying affirms La donna e mobile est. Michelangelo's Zeus plagiarized on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel betrays the same gay misogyny, which we also find in his poem: The love of which I speak has high aspirations Woman is too different; and it all becomes The wise and manly heart to burn for her. One love pulls you heavenwards, the other earthwards; One is located in the soul, the other in the senses, And draws its bow towards things which are low and vile.

Aisha Qaddafi seeks asylum in Israel

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/151197#.Tvy9QnoVi-U Report: Qaddafi's Daughter Seeking Asylum in Israel The daughter of former Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi, Aisha, is seeking political asylum in Israel, a report says. Elad Benari The daughter of former Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi, Aisha, is seeking political asylum in Israel, according to a report on the Intelligence Online website. The report, which was quoted by Yeshiva World News on Wednesday, said that Aisha Qaddafi has hired the services of Nick Kaufman, a former prosecutor assigned to the Jerusalem District Prosecutor’s Office to advance her cause. This past August, when Libyan rebels took over the Qaddafi family compound in the capital Tripoli, Aisha fled Libya together with her mother and a number of brothers. They found refuge in Algeria, where Aisha has since given birth to a son. Last month, she called on Libyans to topple the new government and urged them not to forget her father. According to the report, she now fears that local government officials will eventually give into demands from the new Libyan regime and she will face extradition. Friends of Aisha in Europe, according to the report, said she believes the only country where she will feel safe is Israel, and she is advancing efforts towards obtaining political asylum with the realization that her chances of receiving asylum are not particularly good.

The Committee of 300 or British CHEKA

This committee of 300 is modeled after the British East India Company's Council of 300, founded by the British aristocracy in 1727. Most of its immense wealth arose out of the opium trade with China. This group is responsible for the phony drug wars here in the U.S. These phony drug wars were to get us to give away our constitutional rights. Asset forfeiture is a prime example, where huge assets can be seized without trail and no proof of guilt needed. (See the video The Truth About the Fraud and Bank of America foreclosure) Also the Committee of 300 long ago decreed that there shall be a smaller-much smaller-and better world, that is, their idea of what constitutes a better world. The myriads of useless eaters consuming scarce natural resources were to be culled. Industrial progress supports population growth. Therefore the command to multiply and subdue the earth found in Genesis had to be subverted. This called for an attack upon Christianity; the slow but sure disintegration of industrial nation states; the destruction of hundreds of millions of people, referred to by the Committee of 300 as "surplus population, " and the removal of any leader who dared to stand in the way of the Committee's global planning to reach the foregoing objectives. Not that the U.S. government didn't know, but as it was part of the conspiracy, it helped to keep the lid on information rather than let the truth be known. Queen, Elizabeth II, is the head of the Committee of 300. The Committee of 300 looks to social convulsions on a global scale, followed by depressions, as a softening-up technique for bigger things to come, as its principal method of creating masses of people all over the world who will become its "welfare" recipients of the future. The committee appears to base much of its important decisions affecting mankind on the philosophy of Polish aristocrat, Felix Dzerzinski, who regarded mankind as being slightly above the level of cattle. As a close friend of British intelligence agent Sydney Reilly (Reilly was actually Dzerzinski's controller during the Bolshevik Revolution's formative years), he often confided in Reilly during his drinking bouts. Dzerzinski was, of course, the beast who ran the Red Terror apparatus. He once told Reilly, while the two were on a drinking binge, that "Man is of no importance. Look at what happens when you starve him. He begins to eat his dead companions to stay alive. Man is only interested in his own survival. That is all that counts. All the Spinoza stuff is a lot of rubbish." (Dr. John Coleman)

Karl Marx monument viewed from back looks like a phallus

Aldous Huxley called Darwin's bloody-fanged bulldog in his book Ends and Means, 1946, p. 70 explains enthusiastic reception of evolutionism as follows: “I had motives for not wanting the world to have meaning...The liberation we desired was.;..from a certain system of morality. We objected to the morality because it interfered with our sexual freedom.” Maurice Samuel suggested that Jew-hatred sublimates the yearning of Christians for the freedoms of the pagan world. They resent Christian morality as the straight jacket that inhibits the release of their pagan instincts that emerge occasionally in their consciousness. Scientist Zaborovsky wrote in one of his works devoted to baboons: “Baboons stand out among other apes for their sexual lustfulness. The phallus of a male baboon is almost always erected, like the phalluses of the martyrs enjoying their 72 virgins.If a male boon is locked alone in a cage, he will die from his unsatisfied desire to copulate; The smell of a female can drive a male baboon to insanity.” A baboon with an erected penis was a divinity in ancient Egypt.” The god Min depicted with an erect phallus was his human counterpart.

UNSC rejects Palestine's bid for membership

The UN Security Council Committee for Admission of New Members was unable to endorse Palestine's bid to join the ranks of this international organization. The draft report circulated at the UN headquarters in New York said that the votes of the committee's 15 Member States were divided. On October 31, Palestine was granted full UNESCO membership. During the vote, it received the support of 107 countries, including Russia. Voting "against" were 14 states, in particular, the U.S. and Israel. (Reuters)

Qaddafi's Corpse

After his death, the corpse of the former tormenter was put on display in Misrata. People posed for pictures with Gadhafi's dead body. Stripped down to the waste, it was passed from house to house like a trophy until it finally arrived in the front room of a private residence in the so-called African Market on Friday An air-conditioning unit hangs on the wall. The body lies on a thin mattress on the floor. The head is tilted a bit to the left, and the arms lie close to the body, which is only covered by a pair of brown pants. At the entrance, people are fighting to get in. In a mix of voyeurism and the need for certainty, everybody wants to get one last look of the body and take a picture of it. http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/0,1518,793612,00.html

Death to Assad

http://de.rian.ru/opinion/20111021/261075526.html 17:51 21/10/2011 Inspired by Gaddafi’s death, Syrian oppositionists set mass riots in many places all over the country on Friday, shouting out: “Gaddafi is dead, now it’s Bashar al-Assad’s turn!” (Bashar al-Assad is Syria’s current president.) Syrian human rights defenders say that on Friday, 16 demonstrators were shot by the police, and, in total, over 3,000 civilians were killed in Syria since riots began in March. The government, in its turn, calls the oppositionists “bandit groups” and claim that these “bandits” are killing Syrian servicemen. (IF)

Farrakhan with Rev. Pfleger

When Farrakhan was asked at a press conference whether he truly thought Hitler was “great” he responded, “I don’t think you would be talking about A. Hitler forty years after the fact if he was some minuscule crackpot that jumped up on the European continent. He was…a great man, but also wicked…wickedly great.” Referring to Hitler’s as “great” twice in the space of a few weeks sealed Farrakhan’s fate as the New Demon, the Great Hater, the Next Fuehrer. Further condemning him was a June 1984 statement that Israel will “never have…peace, because there can be no peace structured on injustice, lying, and deceit and using the name of God to shield your dirty religion under his holy and righteous name.” Using boilerplate anti-Jewish imagery – “bloodsuckers,” “Jews control the media,” Israel is “an outlaw” nation, a people “cloaking themselves in the robes of god, but who are in fact members of the synagogue of Satan” – all of which Farrakhan presented as irrefutable “truths,” the NOI leader demonized an entire people, while simultaneously denying he was anti-Semitic. As a child, he received training as a violinist. At the age of six, he was given his first violin and by the age of 13, he had played with the Jesuit Boston College Orchestra and the Boston Civic Symphony. A year later, Walcott went on to win national competitions, as well as the Ted Mack Original Amateur Hour. He was one of the first blacks to appear on the popular show. In Boston, Farrakhan attended the prestigious Boston Latin School. The school symbol is Romulus, the mythical founder of Rome! and English High School, graduating from the latter1. He attended college for two years at Winston-Salem State University teachers college, but left to continue a career as an entertainer. In the 1950s, Farrakhan became an up-and-coming calypso singer. He recorded several calypso albums under the name "The Charmer." [1] In 1955, while headlining a show in Chicago entitled "Calypso Follies," he first came in contact with the teachings of the Nation of Islam. Check out this ARTICLE Called: “Louis Farrakhan claims he is both a Muslim and a Christian (Catholic)” Quote from article, “A packed house welcomed Minister Louis Farrakhan to St. Sabina Catholic Church on Friday night with a standing ovation and cheers for his health.

Gilad at last home

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/148884#.Tp27V3JiK-U President Shimon Peres met German mediator Gerhard Conrad Tuesday and thanked him for his role in enabling the Shalit deal. Conrad was accompanied by senior members of German intelligence and representatives of the German government. "The entire nation of Israel is holding its breath in excitement because Gilad Shalit is the son of all of us. I wish to thank you as the president of the state of Israel in the name of the nation in Israel, for your personal contribution to the long and protracted negotiations that ended with the release of Gilad Shalit. "You carried out the negotiations in circumstances that were not simple and in a complex reality with professional, smart and devoted work. We all know the depth of your commitment to the release of Shalit."' Peres also thanked German Chancellor Angela Merkel for supporting the negotiations and said that she "proves through her actions the depth of the friendship and strategic relations between the two countries." Conrad said the compliments "embarrassed" him. "Both sides had to make decisions that were not simple and I am glad both sides made decisions. After all it was a very difficult challenge, sometimes demanding and frustrating, but I am filled with excitement and satisfaction when I see Gilad Shalit returning home, together with you."

Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon to me wishing me a happy New Year

Yes, I agree with FM of Israel that it Was Almighty God who gave the Prmised Land to his People and that the ultimate decisions always belong to Him and not to the Quartet or Quintet, or the UN no matter how powerful these entities might be. http://news.xinhuanet.com/english2010/china/2011-10/17/c_131196403.htm BEIJING, Oct. 17 (Xinhua) -- China on Monday called for other countries to respect its agreement with Vietnam on maritime issues. "The fact that China and Vietnam have agreed to settle maritime disputes through negotiations has nothing to do with a third party. We expect the third party to respect the efforts by the countries concerned to resolve the disputes through negotiations," Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Weimin said at a daily press briefing. Liu's comments came after it was reported that the Philippines opposed the latest China-Vietnam joint statement and called for a multilateral approach, rather than a bilateral agreement, to resolve disputes concerning the South China Sea. "China-Philippines maritime disputes can only be resolved through direct negotiations between China and the Philippines, a stance the Philippines is quite clear about," Liu said.

Jesus with the Pagan Symbol of Trinity

We believe in one God father Almighty maker of all things, seen and unseen: And in one Lord Jesus Christ the Son of God, begotten as only-begotten of the Father, that is of the substance (ousia) of the father, God from god, Light of Light, true God of true God, begotten not made, consubstantial (homoousios0 with the Father, through whom all things came into existence, both things in heaven and things on earth: who for us men and for our salvation came down and was incarnate and became man, suffered and rose again on the third day, ascended into heavens, is coming to judge the living and the dead: And in the Holy Spirit. But those who say 'there was time when he did not exist' (Arius and his followers), and 'Before being begotetn he did not exist' , and that he came into being from non-existence, or who allege that the Son of god is of another hypostasis or ousia, or is alterable or changeable, these the Catholic and Apostolic Church condemn.

The Kurds in Syria demand an independen state of their own

Who will solve this Problem? There are also milions of Kurds in Iraq, Iran. And yet the powers disregard their "human rights" Im sure, that God won't forget them. http://news.xinhuanet.com/english2010/world/2011-10/19/c_131200697.htm ANKARA, Oct. 19 (Xinhua) -- Twenty-four members of the Turkish security forces were killed and 18 others injured in Turkey's southeastern province of Hakkari early on Wednesday in simultaneous attacks carried out by the outlawed Kurdish Workers' Party (PKK), the private Dogan news agency reported. PKK rebels attacked several military and police buildings and killed 24 soldiers and police officers in several locations in the predominately Kurdish province near the Iraqi border, a day after they killed five police officers and three civilians in Bitlis province in southeastern Turkey, the report said. A Kurdish news agency said the Turkish forces has crossed into Iraq in pursuit of the PKK members, who has recently intensified attacks on Turkish troops, police and civilians. Turkish officials vowed to reciprocate with absolute determination. Listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the United States and the European Union, the PKK took up arms in 1984 to create an ethnic homeland in southeastern Turkey. More than 40,000 people have been killed in conflicts involving the PKK during the past over two decades.

The Aryan, heliocentric Ruler of Canaan

The cross and the fire, the latter, the emblem of the sun were both symbols of the Hindu god of fire Agni. The Hindu term jamad agni denotes a sage who knows the identity of god and fire, like the authors of the new Roman Cathechism. Fire is heat – the central point, the perpendicular ray represents the male element or spirit, and the horizontal one the female element – or matter. Spirit (also called logos spermatikos) vivifies and fructifies the matter, and everything proceeds from the central point, the focus of Life, and Light, and Heat, represented by the terrestrial fire. Interestingly, Taunay’s Sermon of Saint John the Baptist, (s.d. 1818 Nice, Préfecture, No. 175) shows John the Baptist holding a cross in his right hand. Jesus in his baptism is hailed from Heaven as the beloved son and the only begotten of the Father, God; the Holy Spirit is represented by a dove. This dove, in later development, became the third member of the Holy Trinity i.e. third person one with the Father. Jesus in his baptism became what Cardinal K. Wojtyla called in his Lent Sermons for Pope Paul VI Sign of Contradiction according to Lk 2:34 “Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising against many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against.” Because this dove is derived from the myth of the sun god Apollo (see attached picture). Similarly, Horus in his baptism made his transformation into the beloved son and only begotten of the father; the Holy Spirit, represented by a bird. During nightly meeting with Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews Jesus lectures on how a “man can be born again” in order that he could “see the kingdom of God.” (John 3:3). According to v. 5 this rebirth (see below) comes from “water and spirit” symbolized by two bars of the cross as described above. Accordingly, in another Sign of Contradiction Jesus taught: “If you have ears, listen to what the Spirit says to the churches. I will let everyone who wins the victory eat from the life giving tree which is in the midst of the paradise of God”(Rev. 2:7), which nixed the warning of the God of the Hebrew Bible: “…but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God said: Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest you die’ (Gen. 3:3). God who inspired the Hebrew Bible knew that many minds, hungering after proofs of immortality, are fast falling into fanaticism and fanatics are governed rather by imagination than judgment. Contemporary Israelis blown apart in buses by a Palestinian suicide/homicide bombers are victims of this insane imagination.

Madison Grant's Nordic Theory

Grant is most famously the author of the popular book The Passing of the Great Race in 1916, an elaborate work of racial hygiene detailing the "racial history" of Europe. Coming out of Grant's concerns with the changing "stock" of American immigration of the early 20th century (characterized by increased numbers of immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe, as opposed to Western and Northern Europe), Passing of the Great Race was a "racial" interpretation of contemporary anthropology and history, stating race as the basic motor of civilization. Similar ideas were proposed by Gustav Kossinna in Germany. Grant promoted the idea of the "Nordic race"—a loosely defined biological-cultural grouping rooted in Scandinavia—as the key social group responsible for human development; thus the subtitle of the book was The racial basis of European history. As an avid eugenicist, Grant further advocated the separation, quarantine, and eventual collapse of "undesirable" traits and "worthless race types" from the human gene pool and the promotion, spread, and eventual restoration of desirable traits and "worthwhile race types" conducive to Nordic society: A rigid system of selection through the elimination of those who are weak or unfit—in other words social failures—would solve the whole question in one hundred years, as well as enable us to get rid of the undesirables who crowd our jails, hospitals, and insane asylums. The individual himself can be nourished, educated and protected by the community during his lifetime, but the state through sterilization must see to it that his line stops with him, or else future generations will be cursed with an ever increasing load of misguided sentimentalism. This is a practical, merciful, and inevitable solution of the whole problem, and can be applied to an ever widening circle of social discards, beginning always with the criminal, the diseased, and the insane, and extending gradually to types which may be called weaklings rather than defectives, and perhaps ultimately to worthless race types. ” In the book, Grant recommends segregating "unfavorable" races in ghettos by installing civil organizations through the public health system to establish quasi-dictatorships in their particular fields. He states the expansion of non-Nordic race types in the Nordic system of freedom would actually mean a slavery to desires, passions, and base behaviors.

Moscow - Beijing Express

URUMQI, Sept. 3 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Vice Minister of Commerce Zhong Shan said member states of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) should consider setting up a free trade agreement (FTA) which, once in place, would cover about three fifths of the Eurasia's landmass. Zhong told a forum at the on-going China-Eurasia Expo in the northwestern city of Urumqi that such a FTA will further facilitate trade and create a sound environment for pragmatic regional economic cooperation. "Eying the trend of economic globalization, Beijing considers that SCO members should discuss the possibility of setting up a FTA within the organization at a proper time," the vice minister said. The SCO, founded in Shanghai in June 2001, groups China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. The six member states cover an area of over 30 million square kilometers, or about three fifths of Eurasia, with a population of 1.455 billion, about a quarter of the world's total. Trade among SCO members grew seven times over the past decade to reach 8.4 billion U.S. dollars in 2010, Zhong said, adding that significant progress had also made in the cooperation on energy, transportation, and telecommunications. In November 2009, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev presented a draft proposal on a new European security agreement as an alternative to NATO. The document called the United States, the European Union and Russia the "three branches of European civilization," and assigned priority to the UN's role in international affairs.

A New Huge Free Trade Zone in the Making

14:35 03/09/2011 Leaders of a post-Soviet alliance called on Saturday for signing a delayed free trade agreement and peacefully resolving conflicts in their final statement rounding up the summit. Leaders of the CIS alliance, which includes Armenia, Azerbaijan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Russia, Moldova, and Uzbekistan, gathered in Dushanbe, the Tajik capital. Ukraine was also represented at the event though officially it is not a member. "Considering the sustainable growth in foreign trade, CIS member states are seeking to develop economic cooperation based on the CIS economic development strategy until 2020," the statement said. The key goal at the moment is to form a free trade zone, the document said. In May, the CIS Economic Council decided to work further on the draft agreement on free trade in the CIS. It was later discussed by the CIS premiers who failed to reach an agreement. The next meeting of CIS premiers will be held in October.

The Aryan Christ of the Jesuits

In January 1933, the Belgian mathematician and Catholic priest Georges Lemaitre traveled with Albert Einstein to California for a series of seminars. After the Belgian detailed his Big Bang theory, Einstein stood up applauded, and said, This is the most beautiful and satisfactory explanation of creation to which I have ever listened. Lemaitres theory, the idea that there was a burst of fireworks which marked the beginning of time and space on a day without yesterday, was a radical departure from prevailing scientific understandings, though it has since come to be the most probable explanation for the origin of the universe. (In other words, a Jesuit was behind the embarrassing doctrine of the "Big Bang" theory. -TR )

The Cosmic dance of Big Bang

"I learned much from the Order of the Jesuits", said Hitler... "Until now, there has never been anything more grandiose, on the earth, than the hierarchical organization of the Catholic Church. I transferred much of this organization into my own party... I am going to let you in on a secret... I am founding an Order... In my "Burgs" of the Order, we will raise up a youth which will make the world tremble... Hitler then stopped, saying that he couldn't say any more.." Hermann Rauschning, former national-socialist chief of the government of Dantzig: "Hitler m'a dit", (Ed. Co-operation, Paris 1939, pp.266, 267, 273 ss).

the Marriage of Philology and Mercury

This single encyclopedic work, De nuptiis Philologiae et Mercurii ("On the Marriage of Philology and Mercury"), sometimes called De septem disciplinis ("On the seven disciplines") or the Satyricon,[2] is an elaborate didactic allegory written in a mixture of prose and elaborately allusive verse, a prosimetrum in the manner of the Menippean satires of Varro. The style is wordy and involved, loaded with metaphor and bizarre expressions. The book was of great importance in defining the standard formula of academic learning from the Christianized Roman Empire of the fifth century until the Renaissance of the 12th century. The eighth book of M. Capella's De Nuptiis Philologiae et Mercurii describes a modified geocentric astronomical model, in which the Earth is at rest in the center of the universe and circled by the moon, the sun, three planets and the stars, while Mercury and Venus circle the Sun.[4] This view was singled out for praise by Copernicus in Book I of his De revolutionibus orbium coelestium. Dedicating the work to a powerful patron was also usual practice and Paul III, the pope to whom De revolutionibus was addressed, had previously been the recipient of the dedication in another astronomical work. In 1538, Girolamo Fracastoro had produced his own, rather less radical, reform of Ptolemy and seen fit to offer it to the same Pope The celestial marriage described by M. Capella inspired two best-known scientists of the Renaissance era: Girolamo Fracastoro (1478-1553) physician and poet, and N. Copernicus (1473-1543) also physician, poet and astrologer. In his long poem, Fracastoro argues that the infecting semina of syphilis may arise from poisonous emanations sparked by planetary conjunctions. He even invokes a linguistic parallel between transmission of syphilis by sexual contact (coitus) and the production of bad seeds by planetary overlap in the sky, for he describes the astronomical phenomenon with the same word, as “coitum et conventum syderum” (the coitus and conjunction of stars), particularly “nostra trium superiorum, Saturni, Iovis et Martis” (our three most distant bodies: Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars). In other words, Fracastoro was led in his speculations by the perennial astrological principle: “As Above, so Below”. And so was Copernicus. The expression “family of stars” suggests what Fracastoro described as “coitum et conventum syderum” and what follows logically polytheism! In one of the Thanksgiving Psalms from Qumran caves, God is addressed as “the Prince of the gods and the King of the venerable ones, and the Lord of every spirit, and the Master of every work.” This god whose rays the Essenes avoided to offend while defecating is the same sun god whom Copernicus describes as “sitting on the royal throne and reigning the surrounding family of stars.” E. Halley found the same astrological belief in Newton’s work. In his preface to the first edition of “Principia” he wrote some complimentary verses in Latin, ending in the line, “Nec fas est proprius mortali attingere divos” (t is not allowed to any mortal to come closer to the gods).

St. Paul's Golden "Calf"

These Aryan people worshipped nature; the sun, moon, sky, and earth as a comparison of ancient religions and mythology in the land peopled by Aryans, demonstrates. Their chief object of adoration was the Sun. To this race, in the infancy of its civilization, the Sun was not a mere luminary, but a Creator, Ruler, Preserves, and Savior of their world as they knew it. Around the Sun these people would develop a religious doctrine which finds its origin in the Sun and its influence upon mankind. Such is called "Astro-Theology". Their reasoning led them to believe that the Sun was the product of the Sky god; the Heavenly Father. This "offspring of the Sky-god" was none other than "the Son of the Sky", or that the Sun was the "Son of the Heavenly Father", and that the immaculate virgin, the Earth (sometimes it was the dawn or the night), was the Mother of the Sun. Hence we have the Virgin, or Virgo, as one of the signs of the Zodiac. The zodiacal sign of Aires was anciently known as the Lamb; consequently, when the Sun made the transit of the equinox under this sign, the Sun was called the "Lamb of God." Later when the Sun was personified as "the Son" then the "Son was the Lamb of God."

From Emperor Hadrian to Pope Pius XII

Hadrian attempted to root out Judaism, which he saw as the cause of continuous rebellions, prohibited the Torah law, the Hebrew Calendar and executed Judaic scholars (Ten Martyrs). The sacred scroll was ceremonially burned on the Temple Mount. In an attempt to erase the memory of Judaea, he renamed the province Syria Palestina (after the Philistines), and Jews were forbidden from entering its rededicated capital. When Jewish sources mention Hadrian it is always with the epitaph "may his bones be crushed" (שחיק עצמות or שחיק טמיא,Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took iot out of the way, nailing it t his cross. There is an ominous historical parallel; the Vatican was the first state to extend recognition to the neo-pagan Bolshevik regime (1922). Soon thereafter Pope Pius XI disbanded Partito Popolare, forerunner of the present Democrazia Cristiana (Pius XII nailed the Bible to the Cross) and forced its leader to exile. Similarly, and for the same reason the present Democrazia Cristiana disappeared from the political scene of Italy during the pontificate of John Paul II. Why? Because Christian teaching stays in the way of a new Palestinian State.29. And first of all, by the death of our Redeemer, the New Testament took the place of the Old Law which had been abolished; then the Law of Christ together with its mysteries, enactments, institutions, and sacred rites was ratified for the whole world in the blood of Jesus Christ. For, while our Divine Savior was preaching in a restricted area - He was not sent but to the sheep that were lost of the House of Israel [30] - the Law and the Gospel were together in force; [31] but on the gibbet of His death Jesus made void the Law with its decrees [32] fastened the handwriting of the Old Testament to the Cross, [33] establishing the New Testament in His blood shed for the whole human race.[34] (MYSTICI CORPORIS CHRISTI , ENCYCLICAL OF POPE PIUS XII . 1943) ”L’Osservatore Romano” proclaimed: “True anti-Semitism is and can be in substance nothing other than Christianity, completed and perfected in Catholicism.” J. Streicher, the publisher of anti-Semitic and pornographic Der Stürmer considered the Bible pornographic literature and had no use even for Christ because he was a Jew. An article published in Der Stürmer on March 19, 1942 complained that Christian teaching had stood in the way of a “racial solution of the Jewish question in Europe” and quoted as a rallying call the Führer proclamation: “the Jew will be exterminated.” To kill the “Christian teaching that had stood in the way of extermination of the Jews” the Nazis commemorated the four hundredth anniversary of publication of Copernicus’s The Revolution in 1943 by issuing a post stamp in the occupied part of Poland called Generalgouvernement bearing Copernicus’s likeness (the young seminarian K. Wojtyla used to put this stamp on his letters). At the same time book entitled Kopernikus Forschungen was published in which an author argued that Copernicus once and for all removed from human hearts belief in the Bible. Let me remind here that already in 1945, so to say on the heels of the retreating Nazis, a University named in honor of Copernicus was organized in Torun. I still remember from my grammar school “scientific” propaganda matching that being proclaimed in the Palestinian schools. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/146933#.Tk6mfF1iLmV PA Vows to Erase 'Filth,' Build Arab Homes at Western Wall

Why did he fail to marry?

At the time the position of the Pharisees was that “it was a man's unconditional duty to marry.” The contemporary Rabbi Eliezer is credited with stating: “Whoever does not engage in procreation is like someone who spills the blood.” So if Jesus was unmarried, as the Church would have us believe, why didn't his Pharisees opponents – of which there were many noted in the New Testament – use his unmarried state as a further criticism of him and his teachings?> Why didn't the disciples who were married ask Jesus to explain his failure to marry?

Bonaparte's proclamation to the Jews of Africa and Asia During the siege of Acre in 1799, the main French newspaper during the French Revolution, Le Moniteur Universel, published on 3 Prairial, Year VII (French Republican Calendar, equivalent to 22 May 1799) a short statement that: "Buonaparte a fait publier une proclamation, dans laquelle il invite les juifs de l'Asie et de l'Afrique à venir se ranger sous ses drapeaux, pour rétablir l'ancienne Jérusalem; il en a déjà armé un grand nombre, et leurs bataillons menacent Alep."[1] This has been translated in English as: "Bonaparte has published a proclamation in which he invites all the Jews of Asia and Africa to gather under his flag in order to re-establish the ancient Jerusalem. He has already given arms to a great number, and their battalions threaten Aleppo."

the Pope did not beg God to show Mercy. No American Charity organization ever sent millions or billions of dollars to IRC, to help those starving children etd.. Nobody dared to ask for a homeland for the Jews. Not even profesional neighbors' lovers... Jesus Christ sat on his Father's right hand and refused to talk to his deputy in the Vatican... One Million Jewish children died in Auschwitz and the powerful B52 bombers did not drop one bomb to prevent more Jewish children to be sent to the ovens. That's the world we are living in. The smell of Arab oil suffocated every humananitarian venture.

Obama Scraps the Global War on Terror

The Obama administration has ordered an end to use of the phrase "Global War on Terror," a label adopted by the Bush administration shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks, the Washington Post reported on Tuesday. In a memo sent this week from the Defense Department's office of security to Pentagon staffers, members were told, "this administration prefers to avoid using the term 'Long War' or 'Global War on Terror' [GWOT.] Please use 'Overseas Contingency Operation.'" http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/03/25/obama-scraps-global-war-terror-overseas-contingency-operation/

H. Clinton has a Crush on Al Jazeerah

Hillary Clinton is so over American news outlets. Speaking to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Thursday, the Secretary of State spoke the virtues of Arab news service Al Jazeera. "You've got a global — a set of global networks — that Al Jazeera has been the leader in, that are literally changing people's minds and attitudes ... Viewership of Al Jazeera is going up in the United States because it's real news." And she's totally breaking up with Stateside media outlets. "You may not agree with it, but you feel like you're getting real news around the clock instead of a million commercials and, you know, arguments between talking heads, and the kind of stuff that we do on our news," Clinton said. "Which, you know, is not particularly informative to us, let alone foreigners." Ooh, burn! http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2011/03/hillary_clinton_has_a_crush_on.html

Perfect Together

Amin Al-Husseini becomes prominent member of Muslim Brotherhood. He sees the Wahhabi concept of Islamic Jihad as a key tool to rally pan-Islamic support to further his agenda of Pan-Islamic take-over. The Muslim Brotherhood now under Husseini’s influence, becomes the main vector of hatred against the West and the Jews: the Arab World, which includes Palestine, must be free of any non-Islamic faith. Therefore, Jews and Christians have no claim to any part of the Middle East or of the Arab World. Amin Al-Husseini is one of the primary founders and the inspiration of Arab League. Goal is to reinforce Wahhabi vision of Pan-Islamic unity. Founding countries are: Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Syria and Yemen. After World War II, Amin Al-Husseini was visited multiple times in Beirut by Hitler’s Swiss banker, Francois Genoud. Genoud finances the ODESSA network. He sponsors Arab Nationalism with Nazi money. In Cairo and Tangiers, Genoud sets up import-export company called Arabo-Afrika, which is a cover to disseminate anti-Jewish and anti-Israeli propaganda.Genoud sets up Swiss bank accounts for North African liberation armies of Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria. In partnership with Syria, he sets up Arab Commercial Bank in Geneva. In 1962, he becomes Director of Arab People’s Bank in Algeria. Husseini, still in Germany, is appointed to President in Absentia of Fourth Higher Committee of Arab League. http://www.fireandreamitchell.com/2011/02/16/peanut-head-jimmy-carter-claims-the-muslim-brotherhood-is-nothing-to-be-afraid-of/ Muslim Brotherhood unites with Hitler’s Third Reich 1933-2002 http://www.tellthechildrenthetruth.com/mbhood_en.html#part2

The Quartet's Dream

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/144942 Senators Challenge Obama on Foreign Policy on Israel Sivan 13, 5771, 15 June 11 03:13, by Elad Benari (Israelnationalnews.com) Several U.S. senators have decided to challenge President Barack Obama’s policy towards Israel by introducing a resolution that opposes any Israeli withdrawal to the indefensible 1949 armistice lines. The resolution was introduced last Thursday by Republican Senator Orrin Hatch from Utah and independent Senator Joe Lieberman from Connecticut. “It is contrary to United States policy and our national security to have the borders of Israel return to the armistice lines that existed on June 4, 1967,” the resolution states. It calls Israel “a liberal democratic ally of the United States” and notes that it has been “repeatedly attacked by authoritarian regimes and terrorist organizations that denied its right to exist.” It then acknowledges that the United States Government “remains steadfastly committed to the security of Israel, especially its ability to maintain secure, recognized, and defensible borders; Whereas the United States Government is resolutely bound to its policy of preserving and strengthening the capability of Israel to deter enemies and defend itself against any threat.”

Cartoon from Gaza

NEW YORK – Passengers on a US-flagged boat, The Audacity of Hope, spoke at a press conference Monday to discuss their plans and reasons for joining the “International Freedom Flotilla II – Stay Human,” a flotilla intended to break the Israeli naval blockade of Gaza. It is estimated that people from more than 20 countries will participate in the eight to ten boat flotilla, which will sail the last week of June, in part from Greece. One quarter of the participants on the US boat, which will have 36 passengers, are American Jews. REPORT: Israel readies for Gaza flotilla despite IHH withdrawal Despite IHH pullout, Israel on high alert for flotilla According to a letter the Audacity of Hope group sent to US President Barack Obama, in addition to 36 passengers, 4 crew members, and 10 members of the press, the US-flagged boat “will carry thousands of letters of support and friendship from people throughout the US to the women, children and men of Gaza. There will be no weapons of any sort on board." "We will carry no goods of any kind for delivery in Gaza," the group's letter read. "Our mission is from American civil society to the civil society of Gaza. We do not serve the agenda of any political leadership, government or group. We are engaged solely in non-violent action in support of the Palestinian people and their human rights.”

Zuckerberg's Intifada

http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/06/21/us-palestinians-israel-apple-idUSTRE75K5NH20110621 Israel asks Apple to remove intifada phone app 2:32pm EDT JERUSALEM (Reuters) - An Israeli minister has asked Apple Inc to remove an Arabic-language application from its iTunes store that calls for a Palestinian uprising. In a letter to Apple CEO Steve Jobs, Public Diplomacy Minister Yuli-Yoel Edelstein said the application "ThirdIntifada" -- a reference to a future Palestinian uprising -- passed on information about protests, some violent, planned against Israel. "I am convinced that you are aware of this type of application's ability to unite many toward an objective that could be disastrous," Edelstein wrote in the letter seen by Reuters. The application offers users a stream of news stories and editorials in Arabic, announces upcoming protests, and includes links to nationalistic Palestinian videos and songs. Edelstein said the developers of the application had opened a similar page on Facebook three months ago that called for an uprising against Israel through the use of lethal force. Edelstein said he complained to the social network which removed the page. Israel has faced two large protests in recent months that turned deadly when Palestinians in Syria and Lebanon, spurred on by calls over the internet, tried to breach its borders. Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon said the creation of the Apple application and the Facebook page marked a new pattern in attempts to provoke violent attacks against the state. "Companies like this that have a global reach also have a responsibility, and they are aware of this responsibility, and I am sure that Apple will act in the same way (as Facebook)," Ayalon told Israel's Army Radio.

Israel's enemies have been so successful at spreading their lies that fewer people all the time recognize the truth. Many college campuses are hotbeds of anti-Israel agitation. Young people are being taught that Israel is waging a genocidal campaign against Palestinians. President Obama has made it clear that his heart is with the Arab world, not with Israel. More liberal "intellectuals" than ever believe that Israel's very existence is illegitimate, and that it is a "fascist state" designing a "new Holocaust" for the Palestinians. American Jews, long caught between their leftism and their loyalty to Israel, are increasingly moving over to the dark side, helped along by organizations like the George Soros-funded J Street that pretend to be pro-Israel while pushing policies that would destroy Israel in short order. It gets worse: "Anti-Israel" has come be a code word for anti-Jew, not just in the Middle East, not just in Europe, but in the United States of America.

The United States in Burka

An extremist Muslim cleric is planning a March rally at the White House in hopes of sparking a revolution that would turn the United States into an Islamic state. According to the Daily Mail newspaper, Anjem Choudary told a reporter that "The event is a rally, a call for the Sharia, a call for the Muslims to rise up and establish the Islamic state in America." Sharia is Islamic law, and Choudary says he expects the March 3 rally to draw thousands of supporters. The event will be sponsored by the New York-based extremist group Islamic Thinkers. Choudary is a British cleric who said insisted that one day "the flag of Islam will fly over the White House" and that Americans "are the biggest criminals in the world today."

In a speech yesterday in Dearborn, Michigan, the former White House correspondent not only defended the earlier anti-Jewish remarks that led to her sudden resignation, but went on to claim that she was made to pay a price for her remarks because of the power of the Jewish lobby in the United States. Helen Thomas has nothing to say about the 1 million plus Mizrahi*/Sephardic Jews who were from Arab lands until they were shoved out. No, she hasn’t anything to say about these Jews, she buys into the myth that all Israelis are European Ashkenazi Jews. What an anti-Semite, and to think that turd was/is given front row seats to all the WH press conferences.

Give them an ultimatum Sept.16,2010

Syria has demanded that Israel agree in principle to relinquish the Golan before talks begin, a demand that Israel has rejected. Israeli leaders say Syria must ends its ties with Iran and with PA-based terrorist groups such as Hamas and Islamic Jihad. And the PA demands that Israel agree in principle to relinquish Judea and Samaria before talks begin. So what to talk about? Well, they want the whole Israel between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. And that's their idea of the “peace”

Goal of Science – Nobel Laureate in Physics, Steven Weinberg, stated: “Nothing has been more important in the history of science than the work of Darwin and Wallace”. He pointed out that “not only the planets but even life could be understood in this naturalistic way.” He added: “I personally feel that the teaching of modern science is corrosive of religious belief, and I'm all for that! One of the things that in fact has driven me in my life, is the feeling that this is one of the great social functions of science – to free people from superstition”. … “The Ten Commandments portray a deity who is self-centered, selfish, jealous, obsessed with his own importance; this is not a nice kind of person. The traditional teachings of religion are, from the point of view of the morality most people share today, pretty immoral”

Here are some further quotations from Peter Singer from his books Rethinking Life and Death and Writings on an Ethical Life.On how mothers should be permitted to kill their offspring until the age of 28 days: "My colleague Helga Kuhse and I suggest that a period of twenty-eight days after birth might be allowed before an infant is accepted as having the same right to life as others." Brahmins also treat their own children as untouchable. Brahmin mothers dont touch their own children and brahmin mothers also dont love their children. What a horrible people these brahmins are.

When have American academics and theatre people last refused to travel to, buy products from, or lecture, appear in performance in Jordan (clothing, manufactured goods), Egypt (oil, textiles, cotton), Saudi Arabia (oil), Turkey (oil, metals, textiles, manufactured goods) or Pakistan (textiles, manufactured goods)? Surely the human rights records of these countries cry out for free people of goodwill to do just that in response to the large number of honor-related crimes, including honor killings, the forced veiling of women, persecution of Christians and other infidels, the torture and imprisonment of artists and dissidents, the non-stop Islamist terrorist attacks against Muslims, and the “manufacture” and distribution of the most vicious propaganda against Israel and America.

Martyrs Brigaes in action

NEW DELHI — Kashmir erupted on Monday in the worst violence since separatist protests began sweeping through the disputed Himalayan region three months ago, with authorities partly blaming the inflamed tensions on televised reports of Koran desecration in the United States. The bloodshed, which came as Indian leaders were searching for a way out of the Kashmir crisis, left at least 14 civilians and two security officers dead and at least 60 people injured in clashes across the region, authorities said. In one town, Tangmarg, authorities said officers opened fire after protesters had set a school and other government buildings ablaze.

Elul 23, 5770, 02 September 10 08:12, by Maayana Miskin (Israelnationalnews.com) President Shimon Peres plans to meet Thursday with Pope Benedict XVI in Italy. The two are to discuss the peace talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. In addition, the two will talk about captive Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, Iran's nuclear program, and ties between Israel and the Vatican. Peres met Wednesday with Gilad Shalit's parents, Noam and Aviva, in advance of his meeting with the Pope. “We must never lose hope, we must continue to fight for Gilad's return,” he said. Shalit's parents have led a campaign to bring their son home even at the expense of releasing many hundreds of convicted terrorists, including those responsible for multiple murders. Peres praised the two for their struggle, saying, “I am proud of the noble way in which you are struggling to bring back your son Gilad, and I am proud of the Israeli public for standing at your side.” Shalit's parents asked the president to use his influence to push for Gilad's release. After meeting with the Pope, Peres plans to remain in Italy over the weekend to attend an economic and diplomatic conference and to defend Israel in the media. www.IsraelNationalNews.com

He replaced his nondescript hair style and handlebar mustache with the hanging forelock and brush mustache that he copied from a painting of Wotan. The painting “The Wild Chase,” is of the genre depicting Wotan as a figure of terror in a frenzy of action. Wotan’s assistants are a pack of killer wolves. During WWII, Hitler called one of his command posts the Wolf’s Lair, another the Wolf’s Gorge, and still another the Werewolf. He called young members of the Hitler Youth “wolf cubs” (recall that the figures of Romulus and Remus were added to the Roman she-wolf in the Renaissance period, when the Church organized the Jesuit Order) and the SS “my pack of wolves.” The Latin lupa means also a whore, and lupanar is brothel.

Sarkozy Stands with Israel

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/150090

Sarkozy Tells French Jews: I Stand with Israel
French President Nicolas Sarkozy meets French Jews, tells them he is committed to the State of Israel.
Elad Benari
French President Nicolas Sarkozy told French Jews this week that his country “is at the forefront of the struggle against the Iranian nuclear weapon” and reiterated his “commitment and his friendship” towards Israel, the European Jewish Press is reporting.
Sarkozy reportedly made the remarks during a lunch at the Elysee Palace on Wednesday with a delegation of CRIF, the umbrella representative group of French Jewish organizations.
CRIF President Richard Prasquier told EJP that the discussion, which was also attended by French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe, was “very friendly and very open.”
Prasquier noted that Sarkozy addressed the Iraninan issue, and said that France will always stand with Israel if its security is threatened, but voiced his opposition to a military operation “whose consequences would be harmful.”
Sarkozy made similar remarks a few weeks ago, saying that “if Israel’s existence will be threatened, France will not stand by and ignore it.”
The French President added that he sent a letter to leaders of several countries in which he stressed the need to implement tougher sanctions against Iran, especially targeting Iran’s central bank financial flows and calling for an embargo on Iranian oil products.
Sarkozy also addressed the recent embarrassing incident in which he was caught calling Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu a ‘liar’ in a conversation with President Barack Obama.
According to Prasquier, the President said that his very old friendship for Israel “cannot be questioned,” stressing that “no French president has had such sympathy for Israel.” Sarkozy also spoke of “his relation of friendship and respect” with Netanyahu, even if there are “significant differences” between them.
“He considers that Netanyahu had not taken enough initiatives,” Prasquier told EJP.
He noted that the French leader also recalled his recent address to the UN General Assembly, in which he said he favors granting the Palestinian Authority a UN “non member” status but “not under any conditions.”
According to Sarkozy, the PA should recognize that Israel is the state of the Jewish people, start bilateral negotiations, accept the security constraints of Israel and formally commit to not take legal action against it.

Don't Let Obama off the Hook

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/10899
Don't Let Obama Off the Hook

Occupy Wall Street wants to do just that. They are worried about losing the White House. Eventually, they will shift the blame to the Jews. Some have already done that.
From Ron Jager
The creation of the “Occupy Wall Street” movement is a clear sign that Obama cannot be counted upon by his liberal supporters to be re-elected. The expected loss of the White House by the Democratic Party will most likely enable the Republicans to govern America for the coming decade. This is unacceptable to the Liberal Left, who believe that they and only they are destined to govern America. They claim loudly that they are more intelligent and more able to know what's best for America than their conservative counterparts.
However Obama's continuing ineptness and ineffective decision making concerning the economy has exposed this liberal mantra for what it is, a condescending and hallow believe, as Obama loses major sectors of support among the American public. Month after month as the unemployment rate has continued to defy gravity and keep millions of Americans out of work, President Obama has become the one most associated with the unrelenting deteriorating domestic situation in America.
In marketing terms, Obama has become a declining brand name, he no longer elicits a positive reaction, and has become a Presidential symbol of failure.
Nothing promotes a popular political libel, that is, the propagation of myths, lies and misinformation better than the convergence of interests by the media, the unions, the Liberals, and yes, the Democratic Party. Obama's Liberal supporters, have devised a wholly created "occupy " movement as a diversion tactic that will shift the blame from Obama to Wall Street, to the banks, to the rich, and if it continues long enough, the blame will be eventually shifted to the Jews.
The overall goal is that Obama will no longer be blamed; his credibility will become reminiscent of his status three years ago. The "Occupy Wall Street" movement spreading throughout America to Oakland, New York City, Portland, Los Angelos, Philadelphia, Seattle, Boston, Denver, and Des Moines, just to name a few cities, will be with us for the coming year as the 2012 Presidential election nears. The "Occupy" movement has one goal and only one goal; take the heat off Obama, and shift the blame.

In marketing terms, Obama has become a declining brand name.
There is a consensus that many of the "Occupy" demonstrators marching in the protests are being actively supported by the Democratic Party. Two recent examples are by Reps. Raul Grijalva (D-Arid.) and Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) who said in a joint statement. …“We share the anger and frustration of so many Americans who have seen the enormous toll that an unchecked Wall Street has taken on the overwhelming majority of Americans while benefiting the super wealthy,” and House Democratic Caucus Chairman John Larson (Conn.) who released a statement saying, “The silent masses aren’t so silent anymore. They are fighting to give voice to the struggles that everyday Americans are going through.”
So here we have it, Obama is not to blame they claim, Wall Street is to blame, Obama is a victim of Wall Street, just like us in the "Occupy" movement.
The problem with the Rebranding of Obama will be part and parcel of this campaign as we see the blame being shifted away from Obama. Till now Obama was perceived as a big-government liberal who has expanded regulations, created uncertainty for business and failed to revive the economy, with millions more Americans out of work than when he took office, and an unsteady leader who is unequipped to turn around a country in economic crisis.
Get ready for the new and improved Obama, who will never ask you, are you better off today than you where only four years ago when I was elected ?
Here in Israel we went through a similar period as recently as this past summer with the social protests taking over public parks, in all of Israel's major cities, and holding mass demonstrations. The parks were not only "occupied" but tent cities were established with similar services to what was reported at Zuccotti Park at Wall Street; public kitchens, infirmaries, libraries, and round the clock music and entertainment.
What's in common between our social protects and America's "occupy" movement is not only that they are anti-Democratic in nature, ignoring the will of the voting public, ignoring the rule of law, but they are all funded by umbrella organizations that are connected in one way or another to the Jewish Hungarian billionaire and radical anti-American George Soros, the not so nice Jewish boy from Budapest.
Today more than ever, we must remain united in opposing this dangerous blame game created to letting President Obama off the hook. The buck stops at the White House and its about time that Obama takes responsibility during his watch. We can only hope and pray that the American public will withstand the expected effort to rebrand President Obama.

The "peace process" which created two terrorist states inside Israel may have begun in Oslo, but it ended in Cairo. Normalizing relations with the rest of the Middle East was one of the carrots that got the Jewish state hopping down the appeasement trial-- and that carrot is now officially off the table.
The days when Thomas Friedman and his Saudi buddies could talk about normalization have passed. The Arab Spring saw to that and with Egypt, Tunisia, Libya and an unknown number of others sliding into the Islamist camp, and out of reach of negotiations, there's a New Middle East that has even less in common with the old gentlemanly diplomacy model than the old one did.
Some of the dimmer Israeli leaders may still believe that peace is possible with the Islamists of Turkey's AKP, but not even they think that peace is possible with the Brotherhood.
If Western diplomats could offer regional acceptance twenty years ago, today that has all the credibility of a Rolex sold out of a briefcase just off Central Park. The end of the Camp David Accords has killed the grandaddy of the appeasement through territorial surrender template and with Assad looking shaky, the refusal to give up the Golan Heights to Syria seems downright prescient even to peaceniks.
The Brotherhood's attitude toward Israel is indistinguishable from that of Iran, and with the Islamist way in ascendance, that attitude will be the dominant one throughout the region, turning back the clock on decades of diplomatic efforts. The Islamists will negotiate temporary truces and ceasefires, but not the peace and brotherhood accords so beloved by the US and the EU.
And even the remaining regimes that haven't fallen look like poor prospects for paying out peace dividends after even the most stable country in the region, Egypt, melted down into mob violence and religious fanaticism. If Egypt can turn into battling mobs who don't agree on anything except their hatred for religious and ethnic minorities, including a country full of them living next door, then no Muslim nation in the region is safe.
Without normalization on the table, all that's left is outside pressure. But for the first time in a long time the Arab Spring has given Western diplomats something to do in the region besides denounce Jews living in Jerusalem. And the usual Arab League chorus that the region's problems would be solved if only there were a Palestinian state sounds silly even to veteran diplomats who usually funnel this sort of nonsense right back to the White House.
Obama's hostility toward Israel has paradoxically lessened the pressure by removing the leverage. Condoleezza Rice could get on the phone and warn that another house in XYZ would wreck the positive relationship with the White House. But there is as much of a prospect of a positive relationship with the White House, as there is with Iran, Hamas and the Brotherhood.
Israel still has a strategic relationship with the United States, but relations with the administration are cold, which also means there is less to be afraid of. Netanyahu's exchange with Obama was startling for a careful diplomat from a country that usually avoids offending its big brother. The only way it could have happened is if Netanyahu had felt that there was nothing to lose. And he was right.

the Arab Spring has given Western diplomats something to do in the region besides denounce Jews living in Jerusalem.
For the first time since Begin, an Israeli leader pushed back against White House pressure and it led to a slight improvement, not because Obama listened, but because the relationship was so toxic that using the confrontational tactics practiced by the Palestinian Authority actually worked. Only when the relationship hit rock bottom, was any attempt made by the White House to salvage it.
The situation is even uglier on the European side, which has not been friendly in a long time, but hasn't been this hateful either. But all that ugliness also translates into a loss of influence over Israel. You can only slap your allies so many times, denounce them and threaten them before they begin paying a lot less attention to you.
Irrational demands that can't be fulfilled have brought the situation to that point. It was one thing when the Clinton or Bush administrations were demanding that Israel go to the negotiating table and offer concessions. It was ugly and unfair, but at least it was specific. These days Abbas doesn't want to go to the negotiating table, and the same demands keep coming out of Washington D.C. and Brussels. Israel is being ordered to make peace when the other side won't even bother showing up to negotiate.
How can Israel make peace when the Palestinian Authority has been split into Hamas and Fatah run fiefdoms and neither side is even bothering to pretend to negotiate? It can't and even diplomats know that, which makes every volley of demands look like messages for the Muslim world.
When Helen Clark wanted to sell more New Zealand sheep to the Saudis, her marketing gimmick was a hate campaign against Israel. Clark has gone off to a sinecure at the UN, but most of the West is acting the same way now. Europe isn't trying to sell sheep, its leaders are acting like sheep in the face of the Islamic demographic destiny spilling across their lands. The Obama Administration lit the fuse of the Arab Spring and is getting nervous as the flames keep rising higher.
Western condemnations of Israel are increasingly no longer directed to Israel, but to the Muslim world, which makes it easier for Israel to ignore them. While the White House claimed that the Biden incident was about the timing of a construction approval announcement in Jerusalem, it was really about showing the Muslim world that this administration really had the knives out for Israel. If it hadn't been a house in Jerusalem, it would have been a border shooting, a strike in Gaza or a clash at a checkpoint. Something would have been found.
But the more America and Europe have pandered to the Muslim world, the more obvious it has become to Israel that it has no role to play in this exchange, except its time honored position as the scapegoat.
The new normalization is no longer the offer to normalize ties with the Muslim world, but warnings that Israel's ties to Europe will require the same kind of normalization if Israel's Prime Minister doesn't snap his fingers and make peace happen. It would be a more effective threat if the current crop of European leaders didn't' make de Gaulle seem pro-Israel.
Cameron, Sarkozy and Obama, three of the slimiest first world leaders, haven't made their dislike of Israel such a secret that it took a microphone error for it to be discovered. Merkel has dispensed with the usual show of Gemutlichkeit toward the Jewish state and the situation in Brussels is as ugly as it could be. It all blends into one long angry tantrum about peace dispensed by insecure politicians with a wholly different agenda.
All that leaves Israel with fewer reasons to participate. The strategic and economic ties still matter, but they're more mutual than anyone cares to admit. American and European leaders may kick Israel, but it's also the only reliable ally in the region. And the Arab Springer is a reminder that there is one country that won't implode and can be counted on as a point of stability.
Obama is capable of cutting off his nose to spite his face, but the Clinton era foreign policy hands still have enough control that it isn't likely to happen before the next election-- though all bets are off if he gets a second term. European leaders dislike Israel, but they also know that there are times when they need it. It's a high tech incubator that's a lot closer than Asia, it's an arm of the West in the East and if the relationship is sliding under the table, that's the kind of relationship Israel has with much of the world, from China to Saudi Arabia.
The isolation is a problem, but it's also liberating. The weight of expectations has nearly broken Israel and the Obama Administration may be one of the best things that happened to it by forcing it to recognize that it was alone. Israeli dependence on the United States is not financial as most people think, it is mainly psychological. Alone in a region full of Muslim tyrannies, the need to believe in a close relationship with an admirable global power was powerful.
Friendship with America wasn't like friendship with Russia or China. The United States is admired by people around the world for its accomplishments and its standing. For all the anti-war rallies, it is a nation that aspires to a higher standard. A virtuous Rome, an Athens without slaves, a standard bearer for the new age of mankind.
Only the United States could make a call for concessions to terrorists sound noble, when it would have sounded hopelessly venal from any European power. But in the age of Obama the nobility has run out and so has the peace. The illusions are dead and Israel is in survival mode, struggling to avoid any attention from Washington D.C. while keeping the country on track.
The Peace Process, that horrible masochistic program of terrorist empowerment, is a fading mirage that no one believes in anymore. The pretense that the handshake in the Rose Garden overseen by a beaming Clinton was something other than cynicism and bad policymaking mythologized into a transcendent expression of a new age of peace is over and done with. The cost has been high and all of it has been in vain.
As the West follows the Islam appeasement track domestically and internationally, its relationship with Israel will continue to degrade. The Peace Process was an expression of a dying belief in the orderly world of negotiated international peace envisioned by European policymakers for over a hundred years. Now that same world has brought Europe and Israel to the brink of ruin. It's no wonder that Israel has left the peace process by the side door.

HANOI, Nov. 23 (Xinhua) -- Vietnamese President Truong Tan Sang held talks here on Wednesday with his Israeli counterpart Shimon Peres during the latter's visit to Vietnam.
Sang welcomed Peres and his entourage, saying his visit is a vivid symbol of the developing relations and cooperation between the two countries.
The Vietnamese leader informed his guest of the country's achievements in the renewal process and confirmed its consistent policy to be a credited friend and partner of other countries across the world for peace, independence and development.
In its foreign policy of diversification and multilateralization, Vietnam attaches importance to developing relations and cooperation with the West Asian countries, including Israel, and supporting the process of negotiation and peaceful settlement of conflicts, including those between Israel and Palestine, based on international laws, for legitimate interest of the related parties, Sang added.

MIDEAST NOTES: Syria, Turkey and the Kurds

The Kurds, deprived of a homeland in spite of being promised self-determination in the aftermath of World War One, are beginning to play the role of kingmakers in key countries.
From Aymenn Jawad Al-Tamimi
According to a report by the French daily Le Figaro, Bashar al-Assad is apparently aiming to destabilize Turkey, which has been supporting the predominantly Sunni Islamist leadership of opposition groups to the Syrian regime, by seeking to grant greater autonomy to the Kurdish population that primarily lives in the north and north-east of Syria.
Aspart of this initiative, Assad has reportedly encouraged the opening of Kurdish schools in the north, and has allowed for a Kurdish politician by the name of Muhammad Salih Muslim- a member of the Democratic Union Party (PYD) that is suspected of being affiliated with the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and is apparently organizing local elections in the Kurdish areas- to return to Syria from exile in Iraq.
What are the observations and conclusions to draw from this report if it is credible?
First, that Assad might wish to use the Kurds as proxies against Turkey in a way has precedent in Syrian policy.
Bashar’s father Hafez had once provided a safe haven for the PKK to launch attacks on Turkish soil, and it was during those years that Turkey, sensing that there was a common terrorist threat in the region, had particularly good ties with Israel. However, in 1998, once Turkey threatened to invade Syria to take out the PKK, Hafez changed course, and the tensions between the two countries slowly began to cool down.
On the other hand, while Hafez was sympathetic to the PKK in so far as he could use the group as a proxy against Turkey, granting any form of autonomy was always out of the question. As Adib Abdulmajid points out, one of the key texts that has traditionally defined the Baathist government’s discriminatory policies against Kurds in Syria is a book entitled ‘A Political, Ethnic, and Social Study of Al-Jazeera Province,’ written by a First Lieutenant in the Syrian Army, Muhammad Talab Hilal.
In his book, Hilal claimed that the Kurds ‘had used the pure religion of Islam for their national goals,’ and argued that they were orchestrating a sinister program of mass immigration into the Al-Jazeera region of the country’s northeast in order to facilitate the creation of a greater Kurdistan. Hence he lambasted the Kurds, calling them ‘rabid dogs’ whose ‘annoying barking’ had to be stopped.
The Syrian regime therefore launched a campaign, after the publication of this book, to carry out a policy of Arabization in Al-Jazeera, similar to Saddam Hussein’s policies in the north of Iraq. Among these Arabization measures included the loss of Syrian citizenship for 400,000 Kurds (a 1962 measure that predated the Assad dynasty by eight years), confiscation of lands for Arab settlers, and the imprisonment, torture and execution of Kurdish activists.
Coming back to the present day, it is plausible that Assad would make concessions to Kurdish demands in order to weaken the opposition, which certainly has some Kurds among its ranks. The Syrian Kurds in general, like those in Iraq, are undoubtedly more concerned with achieving autonomy at the minimum, rather than overthrowing the central government as an end in itself.
Even among Kurds hostile to Assad, there has been a degree of reluctance to work with the opposition coalition known as the Syrian National Council (SNC), which has set up a government-in-exile. This should not be surprising in light of the insistence among many members of the SNC that Syria retain its identity as an ‘Arab Republic’ (‘Syrian Arab Republic’ being the official name for Syria at present).
In addition, as Michael Weiss notes, the Kurds feel under-represented in the Secretariat of the SNC, having only four out of twenty-nine seats, and are concerned about Turkish involvement with the SNC. Thus, it should not come as shock if Assad is trying to exploit these tensions between the Kurds and the SNC.
Nonetheless, if Assad is trying to reach out to Kurds to maintain his hold on power, the initiative of granting greater autonomy could prove a double-edged sword for him. As disclosures from Wikileaks cables reveal, Christians in Al-Jazeera province have claimed that the Kurds have gradually altered the demographics of the area through immigration and high birthrates, such that an alleged 80-90% historic Christian majority is said to have now become a 35% minority.
Owing to these suspicions and fears of Kurdish aspirations in the area, Assad could well see significant numbers of the Christian minority in Syria- comprising around 10% of the population- turn against him should he be granting autonomy to the Kurds in Al-Jazeera province.
But perhaps Assad has decided on balance that the Christians will ultimately refrain from siding with the predominantly Sunni Arab protestors on account of fear of reprisals or discrimination at the hands of a Sunni Islamist regime that might come to power, should the Baathist regime fall.

Assad is trying to reach out to Kurds to maintain his hold on power, but the initiative of granting greater autonomy could prove a double-edged sword for him.
More generally, the above observations demonstrate that the Kurds are increasingly a force that can no longer just be regarded as sitting on the sidelines.
Iraq is another case in point, where the Kurdish parties now form a key part of the ruling coalition in Baghdad.
Consequently, the Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has often been forced to make concessions to the Kurds, such as allowing the Peshmerga (Kurdish militiamen) to move into the disputed territory of Khanaqin district in Diyala province to annex it on the pretext of security issues. When al-Maliki tried to bolster his nationalist credentials by ordering the Kurds in Khanaqin to lower Kurdish flags, demonstrations were staged in response and al-Maliki backed down.
It is noteworthy how the Kurds, deprived of a homeland in spite of being promised self-determination in the aftermath of World War One, are beginning to play the role of kingmakers in the two countries that have been ruled by Baathist governments (in Iraq this rule lasted from 1968 until the U.S.-led invasion in 2003).
Indeed, despite Baathism’s claims to uphold pan-Arab nationalism, the ideology has been little more than a façade for minority despotism: Alawite in the case of Syria, Sunni Arab in the case of Iraq.

Report: Arab Nations Pressing for Iran Strike

According to intelligence reports Saudi Arabia and its Gulf Arab allies have been pushing the US to strike Iran by year's end.
Gavriel Queenann
Newly acquired intelligence reports indicate several Arab countries in the Middle East are lobbying the US to strike Iran this year, Israel's Channel 10 reported.
According to the report, which is said to be making its rounds in Britain's political circles, Saudi Arabia wants the Obama administration to attack Iran's nuclear facilities before the final withdrawal of US troops from Iraq.
US president has vowed to close the door on American military involvement in Iraq by year’s end, but Riyadh is reportedly afraid Iran will use the American exit to take over the country.
Since 2008, officials in the Iraqi interim government have complained to Washington that both Iran and Saudi Arabia were, respectively, funding the Shiite and Sunni insurgencies that have plagued the country since the US-led invasion that toppled late dictator Sadam Hussein.
Security experts say Baghdad's security forces are unprepared to confront the rival insurgencies that hold Iraq in their grip - and that Obama's dogged drive to fulfill his campaign promise may have disastrous consequences both for the region and US interests.
Saudi Arabia and its Gulf Arab allies have been locked in a strategic battle with Iran for hegemony over the Persian Gulf - and have accused Tehran of seeking to destabilize the region through its ‘Shiite Diaspora.’
Gulf Arab leaders have sought to exert pressure on Iran and its regional allies - most notably Syrian president Bashar al-Assad - by allying themselves with Western powers opposed to Tehran's aggressive posture.
They have also joined western powers in targeting Iran's nuclear program, which they see as targeting them first and foremost - rather than Israel, who Iran has threatened repeatedly with destruction.
Suadia Arabia has also said, should Iran obtain nuclear weapons, Riyahd will seek them as well - raising the specter of a nuclear arms race in the Middle East. Analysts say this may be a lever to spur Obama to alter course from his current passive, sanctions-driven posture towards Iran.
Despite this, Arab powers have been reticent to publicly call for an Iran strike - which has been a high profile part of Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's diplomatic agenda.
Instead, observers say, they have sought to work behind the scenes to avoid being seen as working in concert with Israel.

Kenya Asks Israel: Help Us Fight Al Qaeda

Kenya’s prime minister, visiting Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Peres, asks Israel to help him get rid of Al Qaeda terrorists.
Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu
Kenya’s prime minister, visiting Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and President Shimon Peres, asks Israel to help his country get rid of Al Qaeda terrorists.
Kenya’s soldiers have crossed into Somalia to hunt down al-Shabab terrorists, linked with Al Qaeda, in Somalia.
Prime Minister Raila Odinga asked Preisdent Peres Monday for helping his security forces in light of Israel’s reputation for knowing how to combat terror. Foreign news agencies noted that Kenya’s request could provoke al-Shabab terrorists, who already have threatened to stage attacks in the capital of Kenya.
The African country, which has a high presence of Israeli businessmen and private security personnel, has accused al Shabab terrorists of being behind several kidnappings in Kenya.
Prime Minister Raila Odinga met with Prime Minister Netanyahu Monday morning “in continuation of the deepening of Israel's relations with African countries,” government spokesmen said.
Netanyahu met with the president of Uganda on Sunday and with the South Sudanese president in the United Nations two months ago.

FM to France: Send the Foreign Legion to Gaza
Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman chided French criticism of Israel's Gaza blockade - saying France needs to pull its weight.
Gavriel Queenann
Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said Monday that Israel would be happy to lift its blockade on Hamas-run Gaza if France would pull its weight - by sending in the Foreign Legion to keep order.
Lieberman, known for his candid and colorful mode of expression, was responding to recent criticism from the government of French President Nicolas Sarkozy.
The Foreign Minister said he had raised the idea during talks with his French counterpart Alain Juppe in June.
"I have no problem in lifting the blockade tomorrow as long as there is a force to inspect everything coming into the Gaza Strip and (prevent) terrorist activity," Lieberman told MPs on Monday.
"Instead of us doing it ourselves, you (can) send the French Foreign Legion!"
A French foreign ministry official confirmed Lieberman's previous remarks to Alain Juppe to AFP.
"Don't send girls with olive branches," Lieberman added Monday, referencing a boatload of French activists who tried to breach Israel's blockade on Gaza.
The United Nations Palmer Report on the 2010 Mavi Marmara incident concluded Israel's blockade of Gaza was both "legal and appropriate" as a means of curtailing arms to the Hamas terror organization.
Israeli officials note that the Kerem Shalom crossing to Gaza is never at full capacity despite all international aid requests being made.
French and Western criticism of Israel's arms embargo - predicated on the claim there is a 'humanitarian crisis' in Gaza - is unfounded, the officials say

The NGO Bill: Who is Being Undemocratic?

This bill doesn’t prevent the NGO’s from doing what they are doing. It simply aims to prevent them from being funded by outside bodies who are doing so not because they want to advance human rights but because they want to thwart Israeli policies.
From Ted Belman
The government is proposing legislation that applies to “political NGO’s”. The bill’s explanatory notes state explicitly that it is intended to deal with “organizations acting in the guise of human rights organizations that seek to influence the political discourse, character and policies of the State of Israel.”

The Bill would ban “political” non-governmental organizations from receiving donations of over NIS 20,000 from foreign governments or international organizations.

The leftist Israeli newspaper Haaretz argues,
Since they do not have any legal justification for shutting down these human rights organizations, Netanyahu and his colleagues are trying to achieve this goal via the parliamentary majority they command. As opposed to donations from unsupervised private sources, which also flow to right-wing organizations, human rights organizations receive aid from legitimate bodies like the United Nations and the European Union, which scrupulously abide by the rules of transparency.
It is not a question of whether these bodies are “legitimate” or not but rather whether their activities are. Implicit in this last sentence is the thought that “right wing organizations” are not even legitimate.
Even if there is nothing morally or legally wrong with the US administration working to unseat foreign governments including those in Israel, the question becomes is the victim country democratically bound to permit them to do so. In the past the US has contributed to the fall of a number of Israeli governments in the hope of it being replaced by a more friendly government.
Similarly, the European governments are working to thwart the will of the majority in Israel because it opposes their agenda which, for instance, is to stop settlement construction. They buttress their agenda by financially supporting Israeli NGO’s that are friendly to their agenda.
The government says their activities go far beyond protection of human rights and into the realm of affecting the political discourse. They most certainly do. It should be noted that these activities have more to do with providing the international community with evidence than they do to with changing the local discourse. Haaretz is saying that they have every right to interfere in our policy making and we do not have the democratic right to thwart their activities by denying access their money.
This Bill doesn’t prevent the NGO’s from doing what they are doing. It simply aims to prevent them from being funded by outside government and international bodies who are doing so not because they want to advance human rights but because they want to thwart Israeli policies or actions with which they disagree such as settlement construction or self defense.

These NGO’s are acting subversively to the democratically elected government.
A
The US outlaws the use of foreign funds by local candidates. Is this, too, undemocratic?
re they being democratic when they reject the will of the majority and openly align with foreign governments to thwart that will?
Furthermore we know that well financed PR campaigns can affect the will of the majority. How much more so if foreign governments added considerably to the funds available for PR including massive advertising budgets.

The US outlaws the use of foreign funds by local candidates. Is this too undemocratic? It also puts limits on what individuals or corporations can contribute to candidates.
In both cases the US is protecting democracy from foreign or undue influence and not undermining it.
Israel likewise.

Obama's Brave New World

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/10796#.TrXET3IVi-U
Obama's "Brave New World"

The "Arab Spring" Islamist fiasco, so lauded by Obama, is taking place in the shadow of Iran's nuclear threat. And to top it all, he thinks he can silence US Jews.
From Ron Jager
Years before the Obama presidency, Tunisia was considered the best example of a moderate, pragmatic Arab country. This past week, in the first democratic elections ever held in this nation, Tunisia became an Islamic state.
In Libya, after the world watched the public lynching of deposed leader Muammar Kaddafi, his body was put on display in a supermarket freezer. Libya's new leader, Mustafa Abdul Jalil, enthusiastically supported by President Obama, declared that Sharia (Islamic law) would be the “basic source” of all legislation – meaning we should forget about democracy there as well.
Under Sharia, Allah, vis-à-vis the Koran, makes the laws, not man, and what interesting laws they are...
It’s important to understand that Obama’s "small print" and "leading from behind" approach played a significant role in facilitating Libya’s transition to an Islamic state.
Egypt, the largest Arab nation and until recently America's closest Arab ally in the Middle East, will be holding elections in November. All forecasts predict that the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood will win the elections, transforming Egypt into an Islamic state. Remember, it was Obama who abandoned President Hosni Mubarak, humiliating him in public, calling on him to resign, and allowing the Muslim Brotherhood to take over Egypt.

Under Sharia, Allah, vis-à-vis the Koran, makes the laws, not man, and what interesting laws they are...
The "Arab Spring" so warmly supported by President Obama has thrown the Arab nations of North Africa into the arms of the most radical of Islamic jihadist movements, paving the way for a renewed Islamic caliphate from the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean Sea.
All this is taking place under the umbrella of a nuclear Iran, creating a strategic threat not only to Israel, but to America as well.
Lets assume for a moment that Obama did not support the so-called Arab Spring for ideological reasons, but erroneously created the situation simply by being a novice, that is he couldn't help himself. That would infer that the jihadist takeover of the Middle East is the direct result of the president’s lack of experience, lack of common sense and sheer incompetence. Either way, Obama comes up looking much less capable than he claims to be.
Perhaps many Americans share my disappointment; especially those who were so hopeful three years ago when then Senator Obama announced his candidacy. At the time, he spoke with seemingly earnest conviction about meeting the nation's challenges, the failure of leadership, and the chronic avoidance of tough decisions.Today, nearly three years into the Obama presidency and the “Brave New World” he helped create in this region of the world, we see Arab nations collapsing like dominoes in the Islamic takeover of the Middle East.
In the coming year, with Obama focusing on the 2012 election, I think we can expect to see little if any direct involvement by him in the Middle East. The president is reluctant to risk another confrontation with Israel and Prime Minister Netanyahu. Obama's political strategists want him to retain and even expand his base of Jewish support and not lose their votes in key states.
I believe he’ll seek to empower others, including European leaders, to do his bidding in hopes of not losing the Jewish vote in 2012. Some expect him to use European and Arab leaders to use pressure Netanyahu politically and economically, causing him to capitulate and carry out policies Obama supports. Why risk the support of American Jews in the upcoming election? Why pay a political price when European and Arab leaders don’t have a Jewish constituency to worry about. Let others carry the burden and take the heat.
This will be one of the major political challenges Israel will have to deal with this year.
Unfortunately, Obama is using a similar strategy of letting others to carry the burden of his misguided policies in American domestic politics as well. The recent Anti-Defamation League & American Jewish Committee unity pledge on Israel is only the latest example of how President Obama burdens others with politically difficult choices so as to focus attention away from himself and avoid being abandoned electorally by supporters of Israel. By convincing American Jewish organizations to avoid criticizing or challenging Obama's foreign policy approach towards Israel; he has achieved the opposite result and sparked a heated debate that will only strengthen the perception of Obama of being a genuine incompetent.
This attempt to silence those that question the Obama's administration's foreign policy towards Israel is not only unworthy of the best of America's tradition of free speech but reminds us all of the imposed silence on the Jewish community by the Democratic Party during the Holocaust.
Obama's pathetic attempt to silence Jews will not succeed. Today as opposed to the 1940's, Israel exists, empowering Jews to stand up everywhere and be heard. Gone are the days in which Jews must conform to White House dictates.
Obama's latest insult to the Jewish Community should remind us all what to expect should Obama win the re-election and be freed of electoral constraints. Obama's latest attempt to manipulate the Jewish community provides a glimpse into his "Brave New World."

Anti-Israel Group 'Invades' Boston Israel Consulate
Dozens of anti-Israel activists attempted to barge into the Israeli consulate in Boston over the weekend.
David Lev
Dozens of anti-Israel activists attempted to barge into the Israeli consulate in Boston over the weekend in protest over Israel's seizure of the Canadian-Irish flotilla ships that attempted to sail to Gaza. Bearing PA flags, the activists attempted to storm the building but were turned back. They swore to return, shouting slogans about how the “apartheid regime in Israel must fall.”
The activists were “spillovers” from the Occupy Boston protests, one of many Occupy Wall Street protests, some with anti- Semitic undertones, being held in the U.S. demanding social justice. At least three people have been arrested on drug charges in the protests over the past several days, and police report numerous knife fights between homeless individuals who are participating in the protests. Police also report a significant rise in vandalism in downtown Boston.

Meanwhile, six of the flotilla members who were arrested Friday were released on Saturday night. One of the detainees was an Israeli citizen, Mag'id Ca'il, an Arab from Haifa. He was interviewed by a correspondent of Iranian television who accompanied by the flotilla. In the interview, he claimed he was threatened by IDF soldiers.

Police have been arranging for the deportation of the flotilla members, but several of them told reporters Saturday night that they were refusing to leave Israel. The activists said that they preferred to remain in prison in Israel and go to court in order to make their opinions heard, than to leave voluntarily.

Israel to Boycott UNESCO

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/10792#.TrQlfHIVi-U
Mr. Netanyahu, Let's Boycott UNESCO
UNESCO has a long history of Jew-hatred. It will only get worse. They have long range plans and Israel must make them irrelevant.
From Giulio Meotti
After halting its annual fees to the UN's cultural agency, the State of Israel should suspend any cooperation with UNESCO.
The United Nations’ body just simply decided to give the Palestinians full membership and that's quite enough.
Jerusalem will not risk any isolation, since it’s already a pariah in the UN and the word “Jew” has become, once again, an accepted insult in the global square.
UNESCO’s next steps are under Israel’s nose: very soon the Temple Mount, the Dead Sea Scrolls, Joseph’s Tomb, Rachel’s Tomb, the Shalom al Israel synagogue and the Cave of the Patriarchs will be designated as “mosques” by the UN’s agency.
Israel's passive policy helped the Palestinians win the UNESCO race and allowed the “rewriting the history of Palestine”, as Hamdan Taha, director of the Palestinian Antiquities Department, explained last summer.
If Israel will continue to ignore this horrible blood libel, there are no chances to stop the Islamic revisionism supported by the West (France just voted for the Palestinians at UNESCO). All Islamic nations will soon band together again to work against the Jewish people at the UN.
After leaving UNESCO, the State of Israel should also set up a campaign of public diplomacy to explain how the United Nations became a corrupted and anti-Semitic forum and a tool of the Islamic bloc against the Jewish people.
The precedent of a similar boycott of Israel is the International Court of Justice in The Hague.
The very idea of Israeli hopes of UNESCO’s good faith was inane, especially given the organization’s long record of anti-Jewish hatred. UNESCO’s intifada goes back to November 20, 1974, when under Arab pressure, UNESCO voted to exclude Israel from any regional group.
During the 90’s, then-UNESCO director-general Frederico Mayor boycotted all the international conferences in Jerusalem and UNESCO’s officials always refused to meet with Israeli officials.
In 2005, when the United Nations celebrated its 50th anniversary, UNESCO refused to include the Holocaust in its World War II resolution, intentionally ignoring Israel’s request to include a reference to the destruction of European Jewry.
In July 2000, Yasser Arafat insisted to Bill Clinton at Camp David that “no Jewish temple ever existed”. This blood libel will become UNESCO’s next mantra. Just think about what PA cleric Sheikh Taissir Tamimi said about the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron: “It’s a pure mosque, which Jewish presence defiles”.
Slapping history squarely in the face, last year UNESCO adopted Tamimi’s propaganda and declared that Rachel’s Tomb and Hebron’s Cave are “Muslim mosques”.
In 2009 UNESCO designated Jerusalem as the “capital of Arab culture”, a false claim now finding fertile ground even outside the Islamic world. The Dutch government, through UNESCO, just donated 300,000 euros to the Palestinian Authority, meant to finance excavations near Joseph’s Tomb, fourth on thelist of Judaism’s holiest sites.
Last year, the UNESCO report on science forcibly converted to Islam the Jewish physician Maimonides, calling him “Moussa ben Maimoun”.
Through the UNESCO membership, the Palestinians are trying to put together a case to take Israel to the International Court of Justice to condemn the Israeli excavations in Jerusalem as “war crimes and crimes against humanity”. This is the most severe calumny that was directly connected to the deaths of dozens of Israelis and Palestinians during the so-called “Western Wall Tunnel riots” of 1995.
In recent years, UNESCO increased its collaboration with ISESCO, the cultural body of the Organization of the Islamic Conference. Ever since the Wakf accelerated its wholesale destruction of artifacts on the Temple Mount back in 1996, when it surreptitiously built a new mosque in Solomon’s Stables, UNESCO has remained remarkably silent, not once condemning the Palestinian Authority for its desecration of the site.
Indeed, UNESCO does not even recognize Israel’s sovereignty over Jerusalem. The organization has called for financial sanctions against Israel, passed hundreds of resolutions demonizing Israel’s activities in Judea and Samaria and denounced Israel’s efforts to restore holy sites in Jerusalem. By gratifying UNESCO, Israel will only boost the Palestinian cultural Intifada.

Last year, the UNESCO report on science forcibly converted to Islam the Jewish physician Maimonides, calling him “Moussa ben Maimoun”.
This is an historical battle that Israel can win with the support of Westerners who still care about the fate of their civilization.
But the Jews have to stop playing according their enemies’ guillotine.

Flotilla Activists 'Won't Resist IDF'

Organizers for a two-ship mini-flotilla headed towards Gaza say activists have vowed not to resist IDF commandos sent to intercept them.

Activists aboard two vessels seeking to violate Israel's blockade of Hamas in Gaza say they won't resist Israeli naval forces when boarded.
"The two ships are close to Israel's waters and their crew has been instructed not to resist naval forces who will attempt to stop them," Denis Kosseim told AFP. "Our representatives have signed a document where they pledged not to resist in case Israeli forces board the ship. We hope they will be able to return unharmed."
A failed flotilla of 17 planned vessels that ended with a single French vessel striking out towards Gaza in July ended without incident when Israeli naval commandoes boarded the vessel and redirected it to the port of Ashdod.
The latest flotilla consists of one Canadian ship called Tahrir and an Irish yacht. On board the vessels are 27 activists, crewmen and journalists, including one Iranian reporter.
Organizers say the ships carry $30,000 worth of medical equipment for the people of Gaza.
However, Israeli defense officials say if the purpose of the flotilla were aid rather than a media spectacle and provocation the supplies carried could easily be unloaded in Ashdod and shipped by ground to Gaza.
The Kerem Shalom crossing connecting Israel to Gaza has remained open despite rocket fire and is never at full capacity despite all aid requests from Gaza being met.
The amount of aid carried by the ships, they say, is negligible in light of the hundreds trucks per day that enter Gaza from Israel.
During Ramadan imams in Gaza sought to collect surplus aid from local residents to repackage and send to Somalia.
Earlier this year the UN Palmer commission concluded Israel’s blockade of Gaza was a “legal and appropriate” method of preventing the flow of arms to the Hamas terror organization.

Ban Against PA UN Membership

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/149385#.TrL3BHIVi-U
Ban Speaks Out: Tells PA Not to Seek UN Membership
In a surprising reversal, UN Secretary General Ban ki-Moon said that the PA should not seek to be recognized as a member state of the UN.
David Lev
In a surprising movel, U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said Thursday that the Palestinian Authority should not pursue its plan to be recognized as a member state of the United Nations. Now that the PA has been accepted into UNESCO, the Authority's leadership should be satisfied with that achievement. Anything beyond that, Ban said, will “not be beneficial for Palestine and not be beneficial for anybody.”

Ban, speaking before a meeting of the G20 industrialized nations in Paris, specified the reason for his outspoken remarks; the financial hit the U.N. took when UNESCO approved the PA's membership. The U.S. and Canada have cut off funds to the organization, instantly lowering its operating budget by nearly 30%.
No other countries have stepped up to fill in the financial gap – and Ban, the observers said, has gotten an unpleasant reminder of how important the United States is to the international organization. The U.S. had been set to forward $64 million to UNESCO next month, but that money will no longer be forthcoming, as a result of Washington's cutoff of funds.
On Thursday, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said that Israel would also halt its contributions to UNESCO. Israel had funded the international organization with about $2 million annually.

Ban said that any further efforts by the PA to ensconce itself in U.N. organizations as a vehicle to achieve international recognition of the state it seeks to establish in Judea, Samaria, and most of Jerusalem, “could impact the lives of millions of people, who will no longer receive funding for their needs and will suffer because of the actions of the Palestinians.”

Several days ago, a spokesperson for the PA, praising UNESCO for accepting the Authority's bid to join the organization, said that the PA intended to join an additional 16 organizations.
Among the groups where the PA plans to file for membership are the World Health Organization, the World Trade Organization, the International Telecommunications Union, and a host of others. If the PA does apply and is accepted – a very likely scenario, since the Authority is practically guaranteed all the votes of the third world and developing countries that make up the vast majority of these groups – the U.S. has said that it will halt funding for them as well.

Wither, the useless Quartet?

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/10770#.TrCD0nIVi-U

Whither the Useless Quartet?

It does not matter what the Quartet says about "peace" or a so-called two state solution. The Quartet has proven since its establishment in 2002 and its so-called Roadmap for Peace a year later that it is a completely useless and ineffectual body.
From Yonatan Silverman
The international Quartet is a political body comprised of the US, Russia, the European Union and the UN whose purpose is to encourage and coordinate peace negotiations between the Palestinians and Israel.
Since its founding in 2002 the Quartet has launched a number of initiatives and made numerous statements regarding its positions on Palestinian/Israeli negotiations for peace. The Quartet even predicted the establishment of a Palestinian state by September 2011.
What has this august group of nations achieved in nine years? What achievements can it point to? What exactly is the Quartet’s track record?
The group was established in Madrid in 2002 by then Spanish Prime Minister Aznar, as a result of the escalating conflict in the Middle East, Former British PM Tony Blair is the Quartet's current Special Envoy.
The events of the Second Intifada in Israel motivated the creation of the Quartet. Launching the Intifada was Yasser Arafat’s tactic for addressing the collapse of the Oslo peace negotiations at Camp David in the summer of 2000. Arafat has been roundly indicted for the tragic failure of these talks, but he reacted with a wave of brutal terrorism nonetheless. The year 2002 represents a peak in the terrorist violence in Israel and Israel’s determined counter-reaction.
The suicide attack on March 27, 2002. at the Passover seder in Netanya's Park Hotel, was the straw that broke the camel's back.
IDF Operation Defensive Shield was launched two days later on March 29, and continued intensively through April 21.

The Quartet’s Roadmap was a guide for Israeli funeral processions and not a productive diplomatic undertaking for peace by any means.
A reserve force of 30,000 was called up and they occupied the major cities of the West Bank, including Tulkarm, Jenin, Nablus, Ramallah, Qalqilya, and Bethlehem.
In response to this bitter war for survival Israel was forced to fight against Islamic terrorism, the Quartet proposed an even handed “Roadmap for Peace”.
“ On April 30, 2003, following the swift collapse of Saddam Hussein's regime in Baghdad, the Bush administration released the latest plan for Israeli-Palestinian peace, a document entitled "A Performance-Based Roadmap to a Permanent Two-State Solution to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. The declared destination of the "roadmap" was "a final and comprehensive settlement of the Israel-Palestinian conflict by 2005.”
“In the summer of 2000, the government of Israel and the Palestinian leadership seemed to be on the brink of consummating a final agreement for partition and peace. However, once again the Palestinian refusal to legitimize Israel led to an eleventh-hour rejection of partition and the launching of a new war, the so-called Al-Aqsa intifada.”
The year 2003 was another ugly scenario in Israel with suicide bombings from the Islamic terrorists against innocent civilians and other murderous attacks. Peace was nowhere in sight. Israel was under brutal attack from vicious Palestinian terrorists.
The 2003 Quartet road map comprised three goal-driven phases with the ultimate goal of ending the conflict as early as 2005.
With all due respect to the merit of proposing a peace program for Israel and the Palestinians something critical is missing from the Quartet’s proposal.
“The roadmap is yet one more effort to engineer a two-state solution, another attempt to achieve, by diplomacy, what has yet to be achieved by history: Palestinian acceptance of Israel.”
It should come as no surprise that the state of Israel rejected the Quartet Road Map.
On May 12, 2003 it was reported that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon had rejected Israel's main road map requirement, a settlement freeze, as "impossible" due to the need for settlers to build new houses and start families.
On May 25, 2003 the Israeli government announced fourteen prerequisites before acceptance of any peace platform.
The first step on the road map was the appointment of the first-ever Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas (also known as Abu Mazen,) by Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. The United States and Israel demanded that Arafat be neutralized or sidelined in the road map process, claiming that he had not done enough to stop Palestinian attacks against Israelis while in charge.
The United States refused to release the road map until a Palestinian prime minister was in place. Abbas was appointed on March 19, 2003, clearing the way for the release of the road map's details on April 30, 2003.
The Prime Minister's Cabinet then approved the road map with 14 reservations.
President Bush visited the Middle East from June 2–4, 2003 for two summits in an attempt to push the road map as part of a seven-day overseas trip through Europe and Russia.
After Bush left the region, the Palestinians launched a series of terror attacks against Israelis. This threatened to derail the road map plan. On June 15 Israeli forces entered Gaza killing a Palestinian. In the following few days, Israel continued its targeting of Hamas leaders with new helicopter attacks.
Clearly, the Quartet’s Roadmap was a guide for Israeli funeral processions and not a productive diplomatic undertaking for peace by any means.
In November 2003, the United Nations Security Council endorsed the road map in Resolution 1515 which called for an end to all violence including "terrorism, provocation, incitement and destruction". But the requirements of Phase I of the road map were not fulfilled, and the road map was discontinued. It is thus currently effectively in limbo.
In November 2004, Yasser Arafat died at age 75 in a French hospital. Arafat's powers were divided among his officials, with Mahmoud Abbas elected head of the Palestine Liberation Organization and Rawhi Fattuh sworn in as acting president of the Palestinian Authority.
In August 2005, the Israelis started their planned disengagement from the Gaza Strip, removing all of its settlements from this area and from a portion of the West Bank. This was widely endorsed around the world and the process, although unilateral on Israel's part, was coordinated with the Palestinian Authority.
In early January 2006, Sharon suffered a major stroke and did not awaken from a deep coma. With Sharon in serious condition in hospital, his powers were transferred to his deputy, Finance Minister Ehud Olmert.. On March 28, Knesset elections were held, and Olmert's party, Kadima, won the most seats. On April 14, 2006 Sharon was declared permanently disabled, and Olmert was named interim Prime Minister, becoming Prime Minister on May 4.
It was Prime Mininster Olmert who oversaw the disastrous Israeli disengagement from the Gaza perimeter communities. This was a tremendous political and social tragedy on every plane. And the country is still licking its wounds from this six years later
The Quartet for its part however reacted positively.
Kofi Annan, UN Secretary General, commented on August 18, 2005 on what he called Israeli Prime Minister Sharon’s "courageous decision" to carry through with the painful process of disengagement. And what rewards did Israel receive following the bold disengagement from the Gaza perimeter communities? Over the next two years the Hamas Islamic terror gang which controls Gaza fired thousands of lethal rockets at Israel’s southern communities, particularly Sderot.
Israel began planning for a military operation as early as six months before the invasion of Gaza by collecting critical intelligence on potential targets. Defense minister Ehud Barak stated that the offensive was the result of Israel’s "patience running out" over the rocket attacks According to Israeli officials, its subsequent December 27 offensive took Hamas by surprise, thereby increasing terrorist casualties. This was the launch of Operation Cast Lead, which lasted a few weeks and did its job. Hamas halted its massive launching of lethal rockets into Israeli territory. Although they continue to launch rockets and mortars at Israel and IDF forces from time to time.
The Quartet issued no statement on Operation Cast Lead.
The United Nations reaction to Operation Cast Lead was the Goldstone Report however.
The Quartet never issued a statement pro or con about the malicious deceitful Goldstone Report either.
What about Annapolis?
The Annapolis Conference was a Middle East peace conference held on November 27, 2007, at the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, USA. The conference marked the first time a two-state solution was articulated as the mutually agreed-upon outline for addressing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The conference ended with the issuing of a joint statement from all parties.
Needless to say, no positive results whatsoever came out of the vaunted Annapolis Conference.
There is no record of a Quartet statement on Israel’s 2006 Second Lebanon War, but this is perhaps because it was a Lebanese not a Palestinian issue.
But the nonexistence of a Quartet statement on the Second Lebanon War is immaterial. It does not matter one bit what the Quartet says about issues concerning Israeli Palestinian peace or a so-called two state solution. The Quartet has proven since its establishment in 2002 and the launch of the so-called Roadmap for Peace a year later that it is a completely useless and ineffectual body.
And its idea of establishing a Palestinian state in the UN is comparable to a woman who believes she can give birth in one month following conception. This is not likely to happen in this or any universe. The only state the Palestinians will achieve through the auspices of the UN is a state of mind.

B. Clinton unhappy with Russian Israelis

The former US President Bill Clinton feels that Russian immigrants and settlers in the Middle East are the main barrier in the way of reaching a settlement in the region. He told the Global Initiative conference in New York that Israel’s Russian-speaking population is the least interested in concluding an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement. The former US President complained that 16% of Israelis are Russian-speakers, which is a shocking problem, since they make Israel a different country.

The Prime Minister told the Cabinet Sunday morning, "I hear about two states, but I don't hear two peoples." In a press conference Friday, President Obama directly told reporters that Israel should meet Abbas' demand but ignored the Israeli demand, stated in a reporter's comment that “Abbas…said the Palestinians won’t recognize Israel as a Jewish state.” The reporter continued, “The question is, if these talks fail at an early stage, will this administration disengage? Or maybe you’re ready to step up and deepen your personal involvement.”

Title: "The debate on the 10 commandments heating up! "Head of the [oppositionist] CHP [party] Kemal Kilicdaroglu responded to the statement of the Turkish prime minister, who addressed Israel by quoting the sixth commandment, 'Thou shalt not kill.' Kilicdaroglu told Erdogan, The eighth commandment is 'Thou shalt not steal,' and the ninth commandment is 'Thou shalt not lie." Kilicdaroglu: "Recep Bey, the ninth commandment is 'Thou shalt not lie.'" Erdogan: "Are you the one to teach me the Bible?" Moses (in center): "Don't rely on me to break up the fight..."

The sun god Baal worshiped by Palestinians

And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying: 'O Baal, answer us.' But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they danced in halting wise about the altar which was made... And they cut themselves after their manner with swords and lances, till the blood gushed out upon them. 1 Ki 18:26 And they forsook all the commandments of the Lord, their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made an Asherah, and worshiped all the host of heaven, and served Baal; and they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through fire, and used divination and enchantments, and gave themselves over to do that which is evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him 2 Kg 17:16
