An open letter to the world
By Rabbi Meir Kahane, Z"l

Dear World,

It Appears That You Are Hard To Please.

I understand that you are upset over us, here in Israel. Indeed, it appears that you are quite upset, even angry and outraged? Indeed, every few years you seem to become upset over us. Today, it is the brutal repression of the Palestinians; yesterday, it was Lebanon; before that it was the bombing of the nuclear reactor in Baghdad and the Yom Kippur War campaign. It appears that Jews who triumph and who, therefore, live, upset you most extraordinarily. Of course, dear world, long before there was an Israel, we, the Jewish people - upset you. We upset a German people who elected a Hitler and we upset an Austrian people who cheered his entry into Vienna and we upset a whole slew of Slavic nations - Poles, Slovaks, Lithuanians, Ukrainians, Russians, Hungarians, Romanians. And we go back a long, long way in the history of world upset.

We upset the Cossacks of Chmielnicki who massacred tens of thousands of us in 1648-49; we upset the Crusaders who, on their way to liberate the Holy Land, were so upset at Jews that they slaughtered untold numbers of us. We upset, for centuries, a Roman Catholic Church that did its best to define our relationship through Inquisitions. And we upset the arch-enemy of the Church, Martin Luther, who, in his call to burn the synagogues and the Jews within them, showed an admirable Christian ecumenical spirit.

It is because we became so upset over upsetting you, dear world, that we decided to leave you - in a manner of speaking - and establish a Jewish State. The reasoning was that living in close contact with you, as resident-strangers in the various countries that comprise you, we upset you, irritate you, disturb you. What better notion, then, than to leave you and thus love you - and have you love us? And so we decided to come home - to the same homeland from which we were driven out 1,900 years earlier by a Roman world that, apparently, we also upset. Alas, dear world, it appears that you are hard to please. Having left you and your Pogroms and Inquisitions and Crusades and Holocausts, having taken our leave of the general world to live alone in our own little state - we continue to upset you.You are upset that we repress the poor Palestinians. You are deeply angered over the fact that we do not give up the lands of 1967, which are clearly the obstacle to peace in the Middle East. Moscow is upset and Washington is upset.

The Arabs are upset and the gentle Egyptian moderates are upset. Well, dear world, consider the reaction of a normal Jew from Israel. In 1920, 1921 and 1929, there were no territories of 1967 to impede peace between Jews and Arabs. Indeed, there was no Jewish State to upset anybody. Nevertheless, the same oppressed and repressed Palestinians slaughtered hundreds of Jews in Jerusalem, Jaffa, Safed and Hebron. Indeed, 67 Jews were slaughtered one day in Hebron - in 1929. Dear world, why did the Arabs - the Palestinians - massacre 67 Jews in one day in 1929? Could it have been their anger over Israeli aggression in 1967? And why were 510 Jewish men, women and children slaughtered in Arab riots in 1936-39? Was it because of Arab upset over 1967? And when you, World, proposed a U.N. Partition Plan in 1947 that would have created a Palestinian State alongside a tiny Israel and the Arabs cried and went to war and killed 6,000 Jews - was that upset stomach caused by the aggression of 1967? And, by the way, dear world, why did we not hear your cry of upset, then?

The poor Palestinians who today kill Jews with explosives and firebombs and stones are part of the same people who - when they had all the territories they now demand be given them for their state - attempted to drive the Jewish State into the sea. The same twisted faces, the same hate, the same cry of idbah-al-yahud Slaughter the Jews! that we hear and see today, were seen and heard then. The same people, the same dream - destroy Israel. What they failed to do yesterday, they dream of today - but we should not repress them.Dear world, you stood by the Holocaust and you stood by in 1948 as seven states launched a war that the Arab League proudly compared to the Mongol massacres. You stood by in 1967 as Nasser, wildly cheered by wild mobs in every Arab capital in the world, vowed to drive the Jews into the sea. And you would stand by tomorrow if Israel were facing extinction.

And since we know that the Arabs-Palestinians daily dream of that extinction, we will do everything possible to remain alive in our own land. If that bothers you, dear world, well - think of how many times in the past you bothered us. In any event, dear world, if you are bothered by us, here is one Jew in Israel who could not care less.

F-Zero Tornado touches down on Long Island
Eyewitness News Team

(New York-WABC, August 26, 2006) - The National Weather Service confirms a weak F-zero tornado touchdown in East Massapequa on Friday. The weather service says an F-zero tornado has winds between 40 to 70 mph. Meanwhile, wild weather that rolled through the Tri-State caused flooding in parts of our area, even prompting a tornado warning at one point. In Massapequa, Long Island, trees were uprooted in an entire section all in a matter of seconds. The National Weather Service sent two investigators to find out whether it was in fact a tornado -- and in fact, it was.

In Morris Heights in the Bronx, streets were filled with water. And in East Meadow, Long Island, the water was knee deep. Drivers were trapped in the rising water. In the rest of our Accu-Weather forecast: Saturday, we'll have a mix of sun and clouds with shower likely in the afternoon. Temperatures will be in the mid 70s. Sunday we're looking at the chance of thunderstorms, and highs again just below the 80 degree mark. Really do watch out for thunderstorms, and be prepared to get indoors to safety if one hits suddenly where you are. Monday and Tuesday, more threats of thunderstorms and warmer with highs back in the mid-80s.

REVELATION 8:7
7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

1,000 police dispatched to fight forest fires in Jambi

Jambi (ANTARA News) - Jambi Police headquarters has dispatched about 1,000 of its personnel to help people in the province fight forest fires that have spread smoke in the region.The spokesman of the Jambi Police, Adj.Sr.Comr. Yatim Suyatmo, said here Saturday the Jambi Police chief detected hundreds of hot spots when he monitored the fires from the air two days before.The Jambi Police headquarters has dispatched some 1,000 policemen to extinguish the hot spots in cooperation with the Forestry Service of the province.The hot spots that have sparked forest fires are mostly located in Kumpeh sub-district, Muaro Jambi regency. The land surface of the forest in that sub-district is covered by peat soil, which catches fire during the dry season.

The Jambi Police will take strict measures against those responsible for the forest fires and will bring the culprits to court for trial as their negligence has harmed people and spoiled the environment in the province, Suyatmo said. Two suspects in fire cases in Tanjung Jabung Barat, Jambi, have been detained and the police expect the detention of more fire suspects, according to the spokesman.(*)

Comment: Putting Asia on the road to a common market
26 Aug 2006,Adam Kadir

MENTION WTO, Afta, Nafta, Efta and Safta and what comes next is logically the concept and practice of free trade. The "A" in the FTAs stands for either area, agreement or association, which makes the Asean Free Trade Area (Afta) stand on a similar footing as the North American Free Trade Association (Nafta).While the FTAs are regional in scope, the World Trade Organisation (WTO), on the other hand, as its name implies, is global in its reach, mirroring the United Nations without the unassailable benefits of the major winners of World War 2.

In articulating a free trade area, being the lowest form of economic integration, often more extensive ideas have been put forward about what and when certain objectives are to be achieved. These ideas are usually intrinsic in a common market and political union.Four years ago, in the second last year of his premiership, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad promoted the idea of an Asian Union in a speech in Japan. Two years later, Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong was quoted by Fortune magazine as urging Asean to form a common market to see its completion by 2020.When these two ideas are pieced together, what inevitably comes to mind are the European Economic Community (EEC), followed by the European Community (EC) and then the European Union (EU). The EEC was formed in 1957, the EC in 1973 and the EU in 1992 over a duration of 35 years of development along the experience of collectively embracing the free trade area, the customs union, the common market, the economic/monetary union and the political union.While the Asian Union is ambitious and awesome, given time it is probably achievable, although it may take more than 35 years.

This is because for such a union to become reality, it requires initially, if the EU model and not that of the African Union were to be adopted, that all potential members record economic performance on a sustained basis, common to all, over a number of years at pre-determined levels.The next phase would emphasise the mandatory freedoms on the movement of goods, workers, establishments, payments and capital, being the vital components of a common market in line with what the Singapore Prime Minister might have meant.To move forward from AFTA to a common market and on to an Asian Union, the right attitude will be to appreciate what the European Court of Justice held of the EC/EU: It is a new legal order that becomes an integral part of a member country’s legal system. Benefiting from membership for an unlimited duration, a member country transfers certain powers and sovereign rights to the community or union.

Whether or not such transfer of powers and sovereign rights is possible in a common market or an Asian Union will surely be a serious matter of deep contemplation, given the robust difference of stands and opinions among countries in this part of the world.

A free trade area, however, is the starting point. Its idea and issues will be discussed henceforth.

Enlarged UN force takes shape after European troop pledge by Martine Nouaille Sat Aug 26, 11:16 AM ET

ROME (AFP) - Only a day after Europe pledged to provide nearly 7,000 soldiers, the United Nations enlarged peacekeeping force started taking form, as contributors prepared to send troops from early next week. Italy, which will provide the biggest contribution with between 2,000 and 3,000 troops, is counting on other nations to follow its lead when it starts dispatching its contingent on Tuesday.Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi and UN chief Kofi Annan stressed in a telephone conversation Saturday the importance of rapidly getting under way with the engagements that have been taken, a statement from the Italian government said Saturday.European nations pledged on Friday in Brussels to provide up to 7,000 troops to reinforce the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), which is mandated to expand from about 2,000 currently to 15,000 in order to police a fragile truce between Israel and Hezbollah militants.

In line with Annan's wish to see the the first phase of deployment in several days or a week, Prodi said late Friday that the Italian contingent could be able to leave as soon as Tuesday once his cabinet formally approves the mission on Monday.Italian
newspapers said that Rome could send five ships -- including an aircraft carrier -- to Lebanon with 700 to 1,000 troops on board as part of its promised contingent.The warship San Marco, the aircraft carrier Garibaldi, the troop carriers San Giusto and San Giorgio and a patrol boat will leave from their respective Italian ports.In total, 2,500 troops will be on board the Italian ships although less than one thousand would join UNIFIL.The troops called up for the mission will be from the San Marco naval regiment and the elite Serenissima regiment, both battle-hardened from service in Iraq.They are to be accompanied by an amphibious force and special-forces troops as well as a reconnaissance unit with Centauro tanks equipped with 105mm guns.In addition to being the biggest contributor, Italy is to take over command of the UN force next February after France finishes its existing mandate to lead the mission.French Defence Minister Michele Alliot-Marie told Saturday's edition of the The Wall Street Journal that the 2,000 troops France has pledged would arrive within 20 days.

A vanguard of 170 French reinforcements arrived in Lebanon on Friday, making France the only country so far to have actually sent troops for the enlarged force. A dozen French army units are on alert to head to Lebanon once the specific missions of each
countries' troops are decided.Despite early hesitations to make a big contribution to the enlarged force, French President Jacques Chirac agreed to send the extra two battalions after winning a robust mandate for UNIFIL as well as guarantees the force would be able to cope if hostilities flare up again.The announcement of the French reinforcements spurred some other EU countries into firming up previously vague promises to contribute.Madrid, which has yet to confirm its contribution, would provide 950 soldiers and 30 to 40 tanks, Spanish radio channel Cadena Ser said Saturday, although when they would leave was not given.Poland, which already has 214 troops in the existing UNIFIL force, is to lift that to 500 soldiers. The newcomers are likely to be responsible for logistics, like the Polish soldiers already in Lebanon, a Polish foreign ministry spokesman said.

Belgium has said that it will send 300 troops within two months and possibly another 100 later, and Finland is offering 250 although no dates were given for when they would leave.Greece is offering a frigate, helicopter and special forces while other countries, notably Portugal and Latvia, have indicated they could send soldiers. Annan said Bangladesh, Malaysia and Indonesia had offered to participate in UNIFIL though Israel has opposed contributions from those Muslim countries because of an absence of diplomatic relations.
