California hopes for slowing winds By GILLIAN FLACCUS, Associated Press Writer OCT 24,07

SAN DIEGO - On the fourth day of a vicious firestorm, exhausted firefighters and weary residents looked forward Wednesday to a break — an expected slackening of the fierce wind that has fanned the state's explosive wildland blazes. Forecasters said the Santa Ana wind whipping across Southern California will begin to weaken late Wednesday afternoon, followed by cooling sea breezes. The 16 wind-fed wildfires have destroyed nearly 1,300 homes and forced a half-million people to flee.The shift could allow for a greater aerial assault and help firefighters beat back the most destructive blazes, said Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff during a tour of an evacuation center at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego.If the weather cooperates, maybe we can turn the tide, he said.Crews were anticipating an injection of additional firefighters and equipment from other states, mostly throughout the West. Frustration over the firefighting effort began to emerge Tuesday when a fire official said not enough had been done to protect homes.

Orange County Fire Chief Chip Prather told reporters that firefighters' lives were threatened because too few crews were on the ground. He said a quick deployment of aircraft could have corralled a massive blaze near Irvine.It is an absolute fact: Had we had more air resources, we would have been able to control this fire, he said.The fires have burned 410,000 acres, or about 640 square miles, causing at least $100 million in damage. Twenty-one firefighters and at least 24 others have been injured. One person was killed by the flames, and the San Diego medical examiner's officer listed four other deaths as connected to the blazes.The state's top firefighter said Prather misstated the availability of firefighters and equipment. Eight of the state's nine water-dumping helicopters were in Southern California by Sunday, when the first fires began, along with 13 air tankers, said Ruben Grijalva, director of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.Grijalva said the fires, spread by winds that at times topped 100 mph, would have overwhelmed most efforts to fight them.Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger dismissed the criticism when questioned by an ABC News reporter, and praised the rapid deployment of fire crews and equipment across a region from north of Los Angeles to the Mexican border.

Anyone that is complaining about the planes just wants to complain because there's a bunch of nonsense, he said. The fact is that we could have all the planes in the world here — we have 90 aircraft here and six that we got especially from the federal government — and they can't fly because of the wind situation.Thousands of people packed evacuation centers, where many had an agonizing wait to find out whether their homes had survived. At the Del Mar Fairgrounds in northern San Diego County, which was converted into a shelter, many stared at television sets blaring reports from the fire lines and damaged neighborhoods.We're going crazy trying to get back into our apartment just to see what kind of damage we've got, said Tim Harrington, who arrived at the racetrack with his wife, son and their two pet rats. Then we'll pick up the pieces from there.I've got two reports: One person told me it's gone, and one person said it's still there, said J.C. Playford, who left his home in San Diego County. So I have no idea.Some knew their homes were destroyed. Mike and Tere Miller of Rancho Bernardo were able to return Tuesday. They had left frantically when they realized flames were approaching, stopping only to drag their dog out the door and awaken a handicapped neighbor. When they came back, they kept looking for their home — and never saw it.It was just a smoldering pile of nothing, Mike Miller told NBC's Today.His wife said she had packed papers they knew they would need, but that was it. If you even think that something's going to happen, you should prepare, and consider all the things that are most meaningful to you. Because once they're gone, you can never get them back, she said tearfully. Evacuation orders continued Wednesday. Residents of the San Diego County communities of Fallbrook and Julian, an area devastated by a 2003 wildfire, were ordered out of their homes. Officials also were evacuating De Luz, an unincorporated community north of Camp Pendleton that was being threatened by a wildfire burning on the Marine base. The fire also closed Interstate 5 and the Metrolink commuter rail, snagging the morning commute. So far, the fires have inflicted the worst damage in San Diego County, where five blazes continued to burn. The largest fire had consumed 196,420 acres — about 300 square miles — from Witch Creek to Rancho Santa Fe, destroying 650 homes, businesses and other buildings. Other hard-hit areas included San Bernardino County, where hundreds of homes burned in the mountain resort communities near Lake Arrowhead. Associated Press writers Chelsea J. Carter, Jeremiah Marquez, Daisy Nguyen, Robert Jablon and Thomas Watkins in Los Angeles, Martha Mendoza in Lake Arrowhead, Jacob Adelman in Santa Clarita, Elliot Spagat and Scott Lindlaw in San Diego, Pauline Arrillaga in Del Mar and Ryan Pearson in Lake Forest contributed to this report.

Sarkozy Mediterranean summit bid OCT 24,07

Mr Sarkozy is on his first state visit to Morocco France's president has invited the leaders of Mediterranean countries to attend a summit to discuss economic, political and cultural union.
Speaking on a visit to Morocco, Nicolas Sarkozy invited heads of state and government to meet in France in 2008. He said the proposed grouping would be different from the European Union, but that the European Commission could ensure they complement one another. Past efforts to bring together Mediterranean countries have failed. What is at play is absolutely decisive, Mr Sarkozy said of the often tense region where different cultures, religions and ways of life meet. Here, we win all or lose all.

The future of Europe lies in the south, he added. Europe's example
He pointed to Europe which, he said, had managed to overcome its hatreds. France calls all the people of the Mediterranean to do the same thing, Mr Sarkozy said. Mr Sarkozy's project could supersede the Barcelona Process, which aimed to boost co-operation among Mediterranean countries and create a free trade area by 2010, a goal that now looks unreachable. Spain tried to stage a Euro-Mediterranean summit in Barcelona in 2005 but most Arab leaders stayed away. North African countries have been beleaguered by slow economic development, a rise in poverty and religious extremism and illegal immigration, mainly to EU countries. A spate of suicide bombings earlier this year in Algeria and Morocco has alarmed France. France is home to millions of people of North African origin.

NATO-Israel ties will deepen with peace
By TOVAH LAZAROFF OCT 23,07

Israeli NATO cooperation would be better if there were progress in the Middle East peace process, the organization's Deputy Secretary General Ambassador Claudio Bisogniero said on Monday night. Still, he said, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict did not limit that relationship, which has grown stronger in the last year. NATO and Israel are doing a lot together. There are excellent opportunities for us to deepen that cooperation further, said Bisogniero. He spoke to an audience of diplomats at a dinner hosted by the IDC Herzliya as part of the Second Annual NATO-Israel Symposium. We in NATO have always made clear - and will continue to underline - that the unresolved Israeli-Palestinian conflict should not be used as an alibi to preclude closer relations, said Bisogniero, who became deputy secretary general only this month.

Out of all the Middle East countries that participate as Israel does in NATO's Mediterranean Dialogue, Israel occupies a special place and has been the most active participant, said Bisogniero.
In her speech to the IDC on Monday night, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni said she would like to see the ties upgraded and added that, Israel seeks a formal partnership relationship with NATO.In spite of a feeling among Israelis that NATO has not focused enough on the threat of a nuclear Iran, Bisogniero assured the audience that his organization was indeed worried. A nuclear-armed Iran would deal a major blow to the international non-proliferation regime and could also produce a domino effect throughout the Middle East, as other states may feel compelled to develop nuclear technology as well, said Bisogniero. He added, We must not underestimate the risk that terrorist groups may gain access to such weapons of mass destruction.He said that NATO had to be prepared to tackle these problems. We cannot afford to wait for these challenges to come to us. That may mean sending our forces far away from our traditional European borders. Still, sources in NATO have said there were no plans yet to send the organization's troops to the Middle East.

On a separate note, Livni in her speech at the IDC took the opportunity to address issues relating to the upcoming Annapolis conference in the US regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
To help that process, she said, The Arab and Muslim world must adopt any decision that the Palestinians accept, and not dictate the results.She added that they should participate unconditionally at the Annapolis conference. Livni also called on other Arab states to take steps to normalize relations with Israel rather than wait until the end of the conflict. Even as she spoke of the common bond between Israel and the moderate Fatah Palestinian leadership, she expressed skepticism about its enforcement abilities. There is no disputing the fact that there is a gap between the will of the pragmatic Palestinian leaders and their ability to execute, said Livni.

JERUSALEM DIVIDED

ZECHARIAH 12:1-5 King James Bible
1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.

JOEL 3:2
2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.

ZECHARIAH 14:1-9 King James Bible
1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. 5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.

4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro,(WORLD TRAVEL,IMMIGRATION) and knowledge shall be increased.(COMPUTERS,CHIP IMPLANTS ETC)

Save Jerusalem Emergency Coalition Forms
by Hillel Fendel OCT 24,07

(IsraelNN.com) An unprecedented coalition of American Jewish groups has formed on short notice to ensure that united Jerusalem remains Jewish.Among the member organizations are the National Council of Young Israel, the Orthodox Union, the Rabbinical Council of America, Emunah Women of America, AFSI, Hineni, AJOP (Outreach), NCSY, Poalei Agudath Israel of America, ZOA, and more. More organizations are set to join in the coming days.The formation of the coalition marks the first time since the establishment of the State of Israel that a significant group of American Jewish organizations has united in opposition to Israeli government policy; many of the member organizations are among Israel’s most loyal and active supporters.The new coalition's founder, Rabbi Pesach Lerner, the Executive Vice President of the National Council of Young Israel, is concluding a six-day whirlwind trip to Israel during which he coordinated the group's activities with pro-Jerusalem forces here.I met with several Knesset Members, Rabbi Lerner told Arutz-7, as well as Rabbi Ovadiah Yosef, Rabbi Yosef Efrati - a top confidante of Rav Elyashiv, Rabbi Simcha Kook, Natan Sharansky, and Mayor Uri Lupoliansky. I also met with Tzafrir Ronen, Elyakim HaEtzni, the Rabbi of the Western Wall- Rabbi Shmuel Rabinovitch, Mina Fenton, Nir Barkat, and more. There is much to get done, and aside from the little time in which to do it, we are also facing a wall of refusal to believe on the part of many American Jews. They either don't know about it [gov't plans to divide Jerusalem], or think it won't happen.

Olmert Hints that United Jerusalem is Expendable

The official impetus for the coalition's founding were statements by Israeli government leaders, including Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, that Jerusalem could be negotiable in the upcoming Middle East summit in Annapolis. The message has still not been received by many Jews, Rabbi Lerner said, that the door has been opened to giving away parts of Jerusalem, including the Temple Mount, Judaism’s holiest and most revered site... Our coalition means that Jewish leaders around the world are coalescing around a simple bottom-line position: World Jewry opposes Israeli negotiations which would include any discussion of ceding sovereignty over part or all of Jerusalem.Some of Jerusalem's holy sites and/or surrounding neighborhoods are in danger of being transferred to Arab sovereignty.The Coalition will increase awareness of both the sanctity of Jerusalem and the political machinations currently at play regarding it, and promote political and public action to keep Jerusalem off the negotiating table. The official name of the group is The Coordinating Council for Jerusalem’s Future.

This is not the time to discuss the dangers of a terrorist Palestinian State as a neighbor to Israel, a Coalition letter to 2,000 American rabbis states. Today, we must raise our voices at the thought of losing our united capital of Jerusalem. We call upon each and every one of you to: 1. Continue to educate yourself and your congregations. Peruse often Arutz Sheva, Jerusalem Post on-line, etc.; talk to your colleagues in Israel for a first-hand report of what is happening. 2. Designate your next [Sabbath] sermon to the topic of the undivided city of Jerusalem... 3. Take it upon yourself to write a letter or send an e-mail and/or fax to the Israeli Ambassador in Washington and the Consul-General in New York. Ask each of your members to do the same...US public relations strategist Jeffrey Ballabon has taken on the job of recommending and executing a broad-based international strategy, including the very formation of the Coordinating Council.

Ronen's Alliance

Tzafrir Ronen of northern Israel, one of those with whom Rabbi Lerner met, is one of the founders of a similar group in Israel. A small group of us convened a few weeks ago, Ronen said, just when Olmert's friend Deputy Prime Minister Chaim Ramon started this whole insanity about giving up Jerusalem. We realized that we had to do something immediately. Our group consists of many organizations here in Israel - the Nahalal Forum, Nir Barkat's group, the Land of Israel Loyalists, all eight groups of Homesh First, and more. We have been working together with Rabbi Lerner, and we will continue to do so. There is a lot that we have to do.It must be made clear, Ronen says, that while Olmert is being investigated for all sorts of financial crimes - his real crime, and the one for which he must be toppled, is that of wanting to give away the Land of Israel and Jerusalem. Throughout our 2,000 years of exile, if any rabbi had ever hinted at giving up a part of the Land of Israel, he would have been out on the street in a minute.

Lerner's Meetings

Asked to summarize his many meetings with Israeli leaders and public figures over the past few days, Rabbi Lerner said, My goals were to collect information and find out what's going on; to hear what they really think about what the government's intentions are and how we can stop any plans to give up Jerusalem; to share with them what we're doing, and receive their direction and advice; and encourage them, via our actions, to increase their own efforts... We now have two-way communication, the process has begun, they know that US Jewry is waking up and beginning to move.We plan to encourage citizens all over the US to visit with or speak to their Congressmen and tell them that the division of Jerusalem is something that they just cannot accept. Leading rabbis will make trips to the White House and get this message across as well. We will present our position both as Jews and as Americans.Could it be imagined that Israel would tell Jordan, Give up Amman and then we'll give you peace? It is untenable for a supposed peace partner to threaten that if we don't give up our capital, they will renew their war upon us; we are already hearing that if the summit fails, terrorism and violence will be renewed against Israel with a vengeance. How can this be called peace talks?... We believe that if lots of people start showing up at their Congressman's office, things will begin to take off.

Shas and Jerusalem

In my meeting with the Rishon LeTzion Rabbi Ovadiah Yosef, the spiritual leader of the Shas party, he was very encouraging, and told us that we should pressure the White House in every we can, Rabbi Lerner said. Currently a member of the coalition, the Shas party itself is being pressured within Israel's nationalist camp - and perhaps soon, if the new coalition is successful, also among its supporters in New York - to quit the government immediately and prevent Jerusalem from even being placed on the negotiating table.
