EU OPINIONS MULTIPLY ON PA UN UPGRADE

58 Percent of Jewish Israelis are Religious or Traditionalist-Census stats: 33 percent of Jews are religious, another 25 percent see themselves as traditionalist but not so religious.By Gil Ronen First Publish: 9/26/2011, 3:26 PM

A clear majority of Israeli Jews see themselves as religious or traditional,
according to newly released data from the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS).Eight percent of Jews define themselves as hareidi, 12 percent as religious, 13 percent as religious traditionalists, 25 percent as traditionalists who are not so religious and the remaining 42 percent as non-religious or secular. The statistics released for the approaching Rosh Hashanah relate to the end of 2010. At that time, the Israeli population numbered 7,797,400 people, of whom 5,874,300 are Jews, comprising 75.4 percent, and 1,600,100 are Arabs, comprosing 20.5 percent of the total. Another 318,000 are neither Jews nor Arabs (Druze, Circassian etc.). About 217,000 foreign laborers were not included in the population total.The general population is rising at about 1.9 percent annually, as it has been for the past eight years. The Jewish population is growing by 1.7 percent annually, while the Muslim population is increasing by 2.5 percent each year.Jews are marrying later every year: About 64.4 percent of male Jews aged 25-29 are still unmarried, as are 45.5 percent of the women in that age range. In the year 2000, these numbers were 54 percent and 38.1 percent, respectively. Among Muslims, 43.5 percent of men and 19 percent of women in this age group are unmarried.

Euro zone damps talk of rapid debt crisis steps
ReutersBy Luke Baker | Reuters – SEPT 26,11


BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Euro zone officials played down reports on Monday of emerging plans to halve Greece's debts and recapitalize European banks to cope with the fallout, stressing that no such scheme is yet on the table.Europe came under fierce pressure from the United States and other major economies at weekend talks in Washington to take swift, decisive action to stop the Greek debt crisis engulfing bigger euro zone states and derailing world economic recovery.But officials said media reports that planning was already in place for a 50 percent writedown in Greek debt and a vast increase in the euro zone rescue fund, the EFSF, were highly premature.There is no change to the framework we are working on, said a euro zone official who is involved in decision-making on financial assistance to Greece, Ireland and Portugal.All this talk of a specific haircut for Greece or an enlargement of the EFSF, it is all just speculation. We are not working along those lines, said the official.German Chancellor Angela Merkel, struggling to convince her fractious center-right coalition to back a strengthening of the EFSF in a crucial vote on Thursday, said on Sunday that letting Greece default would destroy investor confidence in the euro zone.Diplomats said any talk of a fallback plan for Greece that would raise the cost to German taxpayers could only make her task more difficult in parliament this week.

Private economists and Brussels think-tanks are forecasting a Greek debt default within months or sooner, coupled with a capital injection for European banks and a leveraging up of the EFSF so that it can handle fallout in Italy and Spain.Euro zone officials acknowledge that such policy ideas are circulating and some could constitute a longer-term response to the 20-month debt crisis. But they insist no specific plans are yet in the works.Instead, planning continues on the basis that Greece's debt burden, which is close to 160 percent of GDP, can be sustained as long as the government fully implements austerity measures demanded by the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the IMF, the so-called troika.U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner highlighted global concerns about deficient European crisis management, saying on Saturday:The threat of cascading default, bank runs and catastrophic risk must be taken off the table.IMF Chief Christine Lagarde, the former French finance minister who until four months ago was tackling the crisis from the European side, also made it the euro zone needs to act more decisively, notably to recapitalize banks on a large scale.Quietly, euro zone policymakers accept that a combination of a much deeper Greek debt restructuring allied to coordinated bank recapitalizations and a bolstered rescue fund would make sense and might help the euro zone get on top of the crisis.But such a plan would require support from all 17 euro zone countries, and it takes time in the EU's decision-making structures to bring so many moving parts together at once.The ideas are all there, but it's not as straightforward as just sitting down and deciding it, said another euro zone financial official involved in handling the crisis.Many of us can agree privately that anything less than a 50 percent haircut for Greece would just be cosmetic, but getting that decided by all and implementing it is not so easy.

PROPOSAL SOUP

Instead, the next step is expected to be a decision by the EU, ECB and IMF to sign off on the next tranche of support for Greece -- the sixth payment from the original 110 billion euro emergency package agreed in May last year.The timing will depend on when the troika completes a review of Athens' progress on implementing deeper budget cuts and tax-raising measures. Without that 8 billion euros, Greece will run out of money to pay October wages and pensions.Olli Rehn, the EU's economic and monetary affairs commissioner, has said he hopes a decision can be taken by mid-October. It's unlikely to come any sooner.Germany's deputy finance minister, Joerg Asmussen, said there was no chance euro zone finance ministers would be able to sign off on Greece's next aid tranche when they meet next week.Given the delay of the troika mission, I do not see that the upcoming Eurogroup on October 3 will decide on the sixth tranche, he said in a speech in Washington on Sunday.Financial markets and the private sector seem to be moving more rapidly than policymakers to prepare themselves for the likelihood of a Greek default.Safe-haven German government bonds fell on Monday and shares rallied partly due to a belief that European policymakers were working on more decisive action to tackle the debt crisis. Such hopes could be quickly dashed.J.P. Morgan Securities said it expected euro zone governments to ease the funding crisis among European banks via a capital injection of up to 150 billion euros, an initiative that would be similar to the U.S. TARP program.Euro-TARP is in our view the best risk-reward medicine for opening the Eurobank funding market, J.P. Morgan analyst Kian Abouhossein write in a note to clients.In a separate report, UBS analysts said they expected some form of intervention from the European Central Bank and a euro zone guarantee scheme for bank term debt, or a Euro-TARP initiative, to provide sticking plasters for the system.

But there are no signs that any such plans are formally in preparation at this stage, again underlining that policymakers may be behind the curve in tackling the crisis.Euro zone officials acknowledge that the EFSF, which will soon have an effective capacity of 440 billion euros, is not big enough to handle a potential bailout of Italy or Spain, the region's third and fourth largest economies. But there is no clarity on how the fund could be raised without more guarantees.One idea is for the fund to act as an insurer, guaranteeing the first portion of losses on Italian or Spanish debt. That could leverage its capacity four or five times, but the legality of such a scheme remains to be established and nothing has been put to euro zone finance ministers.Another proposal would be to turn the EFSF into a bank, which would allow it to access ECB funds, meaning that it would effectively have unlimited capacity. But the ECB has raised concerns about such a step, which would politicize ECB operations and put it on the line for massive liabilities.(Additional reporting by John O'Donnell in Brussels, editing by Paul Taylor)

France seen moving towards bank bailout
ReutersBy Christian Plumb and Julien Ponthus | Reuters – SEPT 26,11


PARIS (Reuters) - Investors and analysts who think a government bailout for the troubled French banking sector is increasingly likely are focusing on what form any aid could take, even as banks continue to deny they need state help.The possibility of a bailout jumped from speculation to something much more concrete at the weekend after Bank of France Chairman Christian Noyer said in an interview that a support mechanism set up in 2008 could be used to shore up banks' capital in case of an extraordinary event.On Monday, at least five different analyst research notes discussed the increasing likelihood of a government move to inject capital into BNP Paribas, Societe Generale and Credit Agricole.We believe the longer the crisis continues, the greater the likelihood that the French government will opt for some form of market shock therapy to reintroduce confidence in the French banks' viability, said HSBC analysts in one.All three banks surged on Monday, tracking a broader rally in European banks, whose shares have been hammered in recent months. Societe Generale, for example, had lost 57 percent in the three months through Friday, while Credit Agricole was down 55 percent over the same period.The sentiment that the (French) state is there to support the banks if needed explains the rebound even if the banks say they have no need for it, said Frederic Rozier, a fund manager at Meeschaert Asset Management.All three banks have continued to deny that any bailout is needed or being planned, but as Nomura analyst Jon Peace said in a research note on Monday, there were also strenuous denials in 2008 until just days before the French government moved in with a recapitalization plan.

MORE FLEXIBILITY

At the time, with financial markets rattled by the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the French state made available 360 billion euros ($487 billion) for the banks, 40 billion of which was for strengthening their capital base, while another 320 billion helped them refinance via a public entity called the SFEF.Several banking sources have said they had heard private rumblings that a state injection of preference shares -- interest-bearing instruments half-way between debt and equity -- was being discussed, though how concretely was unclear.Preference shares give more flexibility to design it in the way they want, said one Paris-based banker late last week, adding that the government would need to pull the trigger at the right time.You can only do that when you are really at the bottom, he said, noting that otherwise further share declines could undermine the confidence boost provided by the intervention.Assya economist Marc Touati pointed to a potential political hurdle too: will France do this unilaterally without Europe? In the government's last rescue after the 2008 financial crisis, the banks raised capital by selling preferred shares that were not convertible into ordinary shares.BNP Paribas sold 5.1 billion euros' worth and Societe Generale raised 3.4 billion from the government.To be effective in 2011 to reduce concerns about euro zone default, we believe much higher amounts would be needed, Nomura's Peace wrote.Some form of injection that does not involve common shares is likely because the French government does not want to get involved in day-to-day management decisions at the banks, RBS analysts wrote in a note.That said, there may well be political pressure in some French quarters to consider common equity injections,they added.

Touati said France did not have the means to take direct stakes in its banks.It would be a risk to its AAA (rating) and would also only serve to bulge the government's debt pile.Assuming common equity is not involved, and preference shares or some kind of subordinated debt are used, the French government would likely reap a healthy return; the preferred shares issued after the 2008 crisis paid an 8 percent coupon.BNP Paribas and Societe Generale would clearly like to avoid state intervention and to that end have both announced plans to unload tens of billions of assets to free up capital.

LIQUIDITY SUPPORT EYED

Another form of intervention that would fall short of a capital injection would be some form of liquidity support in which the government would provide guarantees for senior debt, similar to those provided by the 2008 SFEF facility.Still, any kind of French move to revive its banks could fall short given euro zone strains hitting funding conditions.European officials are focusing on ways to beef up their existing 440 billion-euro rescue fund following a weekend of meetings in Washington, D.C. But deep differences remain over whether the European Central Bank should commit more resources to shoring up banks and help struggling euro zone states.Investors fear if Greece's problems spread to Spain, Italy and elsewhere it will require Europe's bailout fund to be bloated to around 2 trillion euros and it would need well over 100 billion euros of extra capital to be pumped into banks.Euro zone banks would require a minimum of 112 billion euros of capital if they took losses on sovereign bonds and assuming no macroeconomic deterioration, said Kian Abouhossein, analyst at JPMorgan. To create a cushion, 150 billion euros is a more likely scenario,he said.

Fed's Raskin says additional easing warranted
ReutersBy Mark Felsenthal | Reuters – SEPT 26,11


WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Expanded Federal Reserve efforts to boost tepid growth and cut high unemployment are justified as broken housing markets and depleted household wealth act as a brake on the recovery, a top Fed official said on Monday.Even though the effect of aggressive Fed policies to ease financial conditions has been muted by declines in house values and consumer reticence, it would be wrong to conclude central bank actions are useless, Federal Reserve Governor Sarah Bloom Raskin said.
The opposite conclusion might well be the case -- namely that additional policy accommodation is warranted under present circumstances, she said in remarks prepared for delivery to an event sponsored by the University of Maryland Smith School of Business.The Fed's aggressive actions have been completely appropriate in promoting job growth, Raskin said. Both fiscal and monetary policymakers should be considering a wide array of approaches for fostering job creation, she said.(Reporting by Mark Felsenthal; Editing by James Dalgleish)

Greece faces austerity strike as default looms
APBy ELENA BECATOROS - Associated Press | AP – SEPT 26,11


ATHENS, Greece (AP) — As the prospect of a disastrous debt default hung over Greece, the government faced strikes and protests Monday against new austerity measures needed to appease the country's rescue creditors.Athens metro, tram and suburban rail workers held a 24-hour strike, while buses and trolleys were to stop operating for several hours. Airline passengers also faced delays as traffic controllers implemented work-to-rule action, refusing to work overtime. A 48-hour strike by all transport workers is expected later this week.Greek police held their own protest, with the Special Guards unit hanging a giant black banner from the top of Lycabettus Hill in the capital reading Pay day, day of mourning.Faced with mounting anger from the country's international creditors, the government recently announced a raft of new austerity measures to secure the next euro8 billion ($10.7 billion) installment of bailout loans from the euro110 billion rescue package it has been dependent on since last year. Without the funds, Greece only has enough funds to see it through mid-October, when it faces the prospect of a messy default.

Debt inspectors from the International Monetary Fund, European Commission and European Central Bank, known collectively as the troika, are expected to return to Athens this week to resume a review suspended earlier this month amid talk of delayed implementation of reforms.But no specific date has been set for their return, and the European Commission made clear Monday that no decision on releasing the funds would be reached during a meeting of eurozone finance minister in Luxembourg next Monday.Yes, I can exclude that, said Commission spokesman Amadeu Altafaj Tardio. He said the troika had to return to Athens first and conclude its mission, and distribute those conclusions to the other eurozone countries before a decision could be made.I cannot give you any specific date, but certainly, it is very difficult to imagine that happening by the 3rd of October, he said. He would not say what issues were holding up the troika's return to Athens.The review's delay leaves Greece only weeks away from a potential debt default.If Greece doesn't get more rescue loans before mid-October, it will be unable to service its debts or pay salaries and pensions.Prime Minister George Papandreou heads to Berlin on Tuesday, where he will meet with German Chancellor Angela Merkel ahead of a parliamentary vote there on approving plans to beef up the eurozone rescue fund.German officials have downplayed prospects of any quick and dramatic change of course in the eurozone debt crisis, such as further increasing the size of euro440 billion ($595 billion) rescue fund, called the European Financial Stability Facility.European stock markets rose on Monday on hopes that leaders would consider a new approach.

But Merkel also dismissed talk of allowing a controlled default of Greece, insisting instead on the step-by-step implementation of decisions already taken — but which investors are losing faith with.In July, when it became clear that Athens needed more help, eurozone leaders agreed on a second, euro109 billion bailout, although several aspects of that deal still need to be finalized.The government's new measures include a new property tax to be paid through electricity bills to make it easier for the state to collect, as well as pension cuts and more tax hikes. Lawmakers are to vote on Tuesday night on the property tax bill, which electricity company workers have threatened not to collect as they say the power utility should not be used as a tax collection system.Greeks have been outraged by the new steps, as they come on top of previous austerity measures which failed to sufficiently reduce the country's budget deficit.Hundreds of protesters gathered in the capital's central Syntagma Square on Sunday night, scuffling briefly with police who pushed them back with truncheons and small amounts of tear gas.Don Melvin in Brussels and Geir Moulson in Berlin contributed to this report.

EU looking at trillions in shock-and-awe plan to end crisis Today SEPT 26,11 @ 09:30 By Leigh Phillips

A plan involving a multi-trillion euro leveraging of the eurozone's rescue fund via the European Central Bank is under consideration as the EU comes under global pressure to act quickly to prevent the bloc's crisis kicking off a global recession.
Close-up of euro banknote with added workmen, taken from an old advert for Italian car maker Fiat (Photo: Brett Jordan)A source close to the discussions confirmed that the plan is real but the full scale of the sums involved remain undecided.At a crunch meeting of the International Monetary Fund meeting in Washington where little else was on the table for discussion, according to reports out of the US capital, officials suggested that European Financial Stability Fund (EFSF) could be leveraged via the ECB to achieve the estimated €2 trillion needed were Italy and Spain to require financing.EU economy chief Olli Rehn said on Saturday: We need to build a bridge and I think this bridge will be developed on the basis of the current reform of the EFSF and as one part of that next stage we are contemplating the possibility of leveraging the EFSF resources to have more firepower and thus have a stronger financial firewall to support our member states doing the right thing.The shock-and-awe plan would also involve massive bank recapitalisation requiring some tens of billions both from financial institutions raising the monies themselves and, if necessary, their own states or the EFSF.The Daily Telegraph reported that in return for agreeing to such a programme, currently being devised by French and German officials, Berlin is demanding that Greece undergo a managed default within the eurozone, involving a haircut for investors of 50 percent on the face value of government bonds.French EU spokesman Gael Veyssiere said such a default plan is certainly not in the works, however. We have said publicly that there is no need for a recapitalisation of French banks and Greece is not going to default,he added.

He could not confirm or deny the wider reports of a multi-trillion rescue plan.EU economy spokes Amadeu Altafaj-Tardio told this website: This is a big salad, mixing different rumours we have seen in Washington and Athens. We have no information on such a thing. The figures sound massive to me.We have heard discussions from our international partners on how to leverage further the EFSF, but I would not call these negotiations on this issue. For the time being there are no formal discussions on such a possibility, he added.If France and Germany are preparing something, we are not aware of that. The French and German ministers in Washington did not raise it.However, a contact familiar with the talks confirmed to EUobserver: The numbers are undecided, but the parameters [in the media reports] are roughly correct.The plan could involve a threat to the credit rating of those countries that contribute to the EFSF, notably triple-A-rated France.In a G20 statement issued on Friday, the world's leading economies set a deadline of its upcoming meeting in Cannes on 4 November to commit to a comprehensive solution to the global crisis.Separately at the weekend, Greek finance minister Evangelos Venizelos insisted default is not on the cards.Greece is and will always be in the euro, he said.Greece is never going to default because that would have been catastrophic for the euro area and for many other countries beyond the euro area.

EU parliament reminds governments of new budget powers Today SEPT 26,11 @ 09:24 By Honor Mahony

As member-state wrangling over the next multi-annual budget gets underway, parliament is keen to remind governments that the time-honoured tradition of sleepy-eyed leaders announcing a deal within spitting distance of the deadline will no longer be possible.Under the Lisbon Treaty rules, in place since late 2009, the parliament has for the first time the right to approve the seven-year budget, with the next phase running from 2014 to 2020.This time it will look a little different to previous negotiations. We all remember - at least the older ones of us do - that we always had a night of the long knives at the end,said German socialist MEP Jutta Haug at budget a discussion last week with Janusz Lewandowski, the EU commissioner in charge of the purse-strings.At some stage, the EU heads of state and government, completely exhausted at around two or four or whenever in the morning, came crawling before the cameras and said Eureka, we've done it!. That is not going to work like that any more because now parliament has a say too.The night of the long knives won't happen this time. If the heads of state and government reach an agreement, that is all well and good. But they need the agreement of the European Parliament, said the deputy.Haug is a member of the Sure committee, a special group set up by the parliament to look into how the next budget should be spent.These MEPs issued a report before the summer, subsequently passed by the entire parliament, calling for a five percent increase in the EU budget from 2014, which they said would amount to about 1.11 percent of the EU's gross national income.At the end of June, the European Commission put forward a formal budget proposal suggesting it be raised by 5 percent to €1,025 billion. This corresponds to 1.05 percent of gross national income.

A further €58.3 billion of EU spending - for such things as the bloc's development fund and ITER, its fusion reactor project - is not formally a part of the budget.The formal budget and the informal budget would amount to 1.1 percent of GNI, the same as the parliament's position.Lewandowski said the commission had done this deliberately: We have to reckon with the parliament and not just with national governments. We think this is cleverly done - so that we are exactly in the middle between net payers and the parliament. That was intentional.But member states, eight of whom have already formally objected in a letter, see the move less as clever politics and more as a sleight of hand by the commission.So why don't we just put it in the budget then, asked Michael Claus, head of European affairs in the German foreign office, also present at the debate hosted by German region North Rhine Westphalia. Why does it have to be outside the budget? Pointing out that France and Italy and others simply no longer have the money to transfer to Brussels, he said he thought the budget would ultimately lie at around 1.0 percent of GNI - but conceded that the commission's proposal this year round was more realistic than past efforts.

New elements

The 2014-2020 budget, which also includes proposals for an EU-level Value Added Tax and a financial transaction tax - is not likely to be agreed before 2013.The negotiations are always fractious but this round has two new elements - the dire state of public finances in the member states as well as parliament's increased powers.The treaty says member states draw up the details of the budget which have to be approved by MEPs. There is no provision allowing them to make amendments.However, the same article also specifies that MEPs, governments, and the commission shall take any measure necessary to facilitate the adoption of the budget - words likely to be used to the fullest by the parliament.

Jordan was carved out of some 80% of the total area after 1922.Among other fictions Abbas included in his speech was his purposeful neglect to mention any historical Jewish figures connected to the land. While mentioning Muhammad and Jesus, he deliberately left out the people Jesus was part of.

This was no accident; indeed, it is part of a pattern Arabs have displayed for quite some time now. You see, airplanes are not the only thing that Abbas and his earlier Arafatian predecessors have sought to hijack. Follow me closely below to see what I mean... Now Jesus having been born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of King Herod... is how the story of Jesus's birth begins in the second chapter of the Gospel of Matthew. Of course, if today's politically correct Church leaders were writing this account, it would undoubtedly read a bit differently.But notice, please, the location is Bethlehem of Judea...not the West Bank...not Palestine...but Judea--land of the Jews.Turning the clock back a bit, as the year 2003 began, the Greek Orthodox Metropolitan, Irineos, sought appointment as the Patriarch of Jerusalem. Letters with his signature on them to the late Egyptian ghoul--the West's current darling, Mahmoud Abbas's, good buddy and fellow Fatah terrorist colleague Yasir Arafat--contained, among other things, the following...You are aware of the...disgust...all the Holy Sepulchre fathers feel for the descendants of the crucifiers of our Lord Jesus...crucifiers of your people...Jewish conquerors of the Holy Land of Palestine.Irineos claimed that his 6/17/01 letter, revealed in the Israeli newspaper, Maariv, was a forgery. Unfortunately, there were many other documents of the same flavor making the rounds as well.Irineos' attitude, unfortunately, is not uncommon among many Christians--in the Middle East and elsewhere.Indeed, the quote above is virtually the same as words often spoken by the Greek Catholic Archbishop of Jerusalem, Hilarion Capucci, a few decades earlier. So it's safe to assume that many people share these beliefs.Some simply inherited and modified them from traditional Christian teaching. Others, feeling exposed and vulnerable themselves living among real or potentially hostile dominant Muslim populations, sought/seek common ground with their own off again/on again persecutors by turning the focus on everyone's favorite common demon, the Jew.

Christians played an important role in the nascent Arab nationalist movement in the late 19th and 20th centuries, and the above explanation was certainly one of the main motivating factors. This was not unlike some Jews seeking to be absorbed under the potentially protective, inclusive umbrella of various socialist movements in Christian Europe around the same time.During an earlier visit by the Pope to Israel, the media reported one of many of Mahmoud Abbas's late boss's and colleague's (Arafat) own frequent comments on this subject. Speaking of the Apostle Peter, Arafat explained the allegedly Palestinian--i.e. non-Jewish--identity of Peter & Co. Later day Arafatians like to repeat this as well. Indeed, that was Abbas's message in his remarks about Jesus to the United Nations on September 23rd.Now for a reality check:There was no Arab country nor nation known as Palestine during the time of Jesus (nor at any other time either). The land was known as Iudaea (Judea) and its inhabitants were Judaeans...Jews.As I often feel obliged to repeat, Tacitus, Josephus, and Dio Cassius were famous Roman and Roman-sponsored historians who wrote extensively about Judea's attempt to remain free from the Soviet Union of its day, the conquering Roman Empire. They lived and wrote not long after the two major revolts of the Jews in 66-73 C.E. and 133-135 C.E.Note that they make no mention of this land being called Palestine nor its people Palestinians.And they knew the differences between Jews and Arabs as well.My aim is for this quote to become a virtual mantra for my readers. That's how important the implications of its contents are in the discussion of this topic when the likes of Mahmoud Abbas try to claim aboriginal rights for their version of Palestinians.

Here is one of many such passages from Vol. II, Book V, The Works of Tacitus:
Titus was appointed by his father to complete the subjugation of Judaea...he commanded three legions in Judaea itself...To these he added the twelfth from Syria and the third and twenty-second from Alexandria...amongst his allies were a band of Arabs, formidable in themselves and harboring towards the Jews the bitter animosity usually subsisting between neighboring nations.After the 1st Revolt, Rome issued thousands of Judaea Capta coins which can be seen today in museums all over the world. Notice, please...Judaea Capta...not Palaestina Capta. Open up the url to my own book and look at the jacket cover to see one of those exact coins http://q4j-middle-east.com .To celebrate this victory, the Arch of Titus was erected and stands tall in Rome to this very day.When, some sixty years later, Emperor Hadrian decided to further desecrate the site of the destroyed Temple of the Jews by erecting a pagan structure there (not unlike the the reason for the revolt of the Maccabees a few centuries earlier against a Greco-Syrian Seleucid emperor, Antiochus), it was the grandchildren's turn to take on their mighty conquerors.The result of the struggle of this tiny nation for its freedom and independence was, perhaps, as predictable as that which would have occurred had Lithuania taken on the Soviet Union during its heyday of power, but they put up a good fight. Here's Dio Cassius referring to the destruction of Rome's entire 22nd Legion:580,000 men were slain, nearly the whole of Judaea made desolate. Many Romans, moreover, perished in this war (the Bar Kochba Revolt).Therefore Hadrian, in writing to the senate, did not employ the opening phrase commonly affected by the emperors, I and the legions are in health.

The Emperor was so enraged at the Jews' struggle for freedom that, in the words of the esteemed modern historian, Bernard Lewis, Hadrian made a determined attempt to stamp out the embers not only of the revolt but also of Jewish nationhood and statehood...obliterating its Jewish identity.Wishing to end, once and for all, the Jews' hopes, Hadrian renamed the land itself from Judaea to Syria Palaestina--Palestine--after the Jews' historic enemies, the Philistines, a non-Semitic sea people from the area around Crete.So sorry, Mahmoud, and your fellow Arafatians: Hijacking the Philistines' identity--as you have also tried to do regarding Jesus and the Jews-- won't work either.All of this did not occur until after 135 C.E., with the defeat of Judaea's charismatic leader, Shimon Bar Kochba.Add the breathtaking discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls practically at the very moment of Israel's rebirth over six decades ago by an Arab shepherd boy, along with Bar Kochba's letters to his troops, his minted coins For The Freedom Of Israel, and other archaeological treasures that were also soon unearthed - a gift from G-d to usher in the miraculous resurrection of the Jewish nation.Palestine later became largely Arab the same way that most of the twenty-one states that call themselves Arab today did, by the conquest, occupation, and forced Arabization of other countless millions of native, non-Arab peoples and their lands. Muhammad's and his successors' imperial Caliphal armies burst out of the Arabian Peninsula in the 7th century C.E. and spread out and colonized in all directions.From the 13th century onwards, the Arabs lost control of much, if not most, of their imperial, caliphal acquistions to Mongols, Mamluks, and assorted Turks. And when the Arabs' own empires ruled, it was from Damascus or Baghdad. There was never ever an independent Arab entity of Palestine back then either.

Despite Arab pipedreams, the Ottoman Turks were the latest in a long series of imperial conquerors to rule the land since the Jews of the Kingdom of Judea fought for their freedom against Rome. They did so for some four centuries until the end of World War I.During the Mandatory period that followed WWI, the League of Nations Permanent Mandates commission recorded scores of thousands of Arabs pouring into a largely depopulated Palestine from surrounding lands to take advantage of the economic development going on because of the Jews.Many more Arabs entered under cover of darkness and were never listed. All of these allegedly native Palestinians were preceded in the 19th century by thousands of Egyptians who came with Muhammad Ali and son Ibrahim Pasha's invading armies and never left.- just more Arab settlers setting up Arab settlements in Palestine.Arafat himself was one of them (born in Cairo, Egypt). Ditto for Hamas' virtual patron saint, Sheikh Izzedin al-Qassam ( for whom the rockets and terror brigade are named) from Latakia, Syria.So much for Mahmoud Abbas's allegedly non-Judean, Palestinian Jesus.Arabs have a word to describe such stuff. It's called taqiyya--deliberate lying to further their cause.

EU opinions multiply on Palestinian UN upgrade
Today SEPT 26,11 @ 09:25 By Andrew Rettman


Five EU countries have joined France in saying the UN should upgrade Palestine's status. Three have joined the UK in saying No. Others fall in between the two camps or are staying out of the debate for now.Belgium, Greece, Luxembourg, Portugal and Spain in their UN General Assembly speeches over the weekend joined France in backing the upgrade.This session may be remembered as the one in which the general assembly granted Palestine the status of a non-member observer state. This decision could be supported by Spain, Spanish foreign minister Trinidad Jimenez said in New York on Saturday (24 September).Her speech was marked by a defence of Israel as a Jewish state, however - a red line for Palestinians who say that one fifth of Israeli citizens are Arabs and that Palestinian refugees in neighbouring countries should have the right of return.I wish to underline Spain's commitment to the state of Israel as the embodiment of the project to create a homeland for the Jewish people,she said.

Portuguese Prime Minister Pedro Passos Coelho backed the upgrade unconditionally. Belgian foreign minister Steven Vanackere said Palestine has now reached a level of statehood the world cannot ignore. Luxembourg foreign minister Jean Asselborn and his Greek counterpart Stavros Lambrinidis went even further, saying Palestine's appeal to get full UN membership must be heard and respected.In a second group, Finland, Malta and Sweden did not explicitly back an upgrade but underlined Palestine's rights and its institutional readiness for statehood while criticising Israeli settlement-building.Bulgaria, the Czech Republic and Italy joined the UK and the US in the anti-upgrade camp.Italian foreign minister Franco Frattini told the UN: We continue to strongly back the American efforts to restart peace talks with no change in Palestine's UN status. Czech President Vaclav Klaus said I agree with [US] President Obama.Bulgarian foreign minister Nickolay Mladenov was confusing. On one hand he criticised Palestine's unilateral UN bid and supported Israel as a Jewish state. But on the other, he noted that Bulgaria already recognised Palestinian independence in 1988.Most of the other member states who spoke over the weekend - Austria, Cyprus and former Communist EU countries - did not take a position. The group, many of which are more interested in EU-Russia relations than the Middle East, instead repeated generalities about a two-state solution or said nothing on the subject.Germany and the Netherlands (traditionally pro-Israeli), Ireland and Denmark (pro-Palestinian) as well as Romania have not yet spoken at the UN event.

The EU's Catherine Ashton is trying to avoid a UN vote on the upgrade by promoting Israeli-Palestinian peace talks based on a timetable agreed by the Quartet - the EU, Russia, the UN and the US. Almost every EU country paid lip service to her official role as the union's foreign policy chief by wishing the Quartet well.The Quartet plan has suffered two early knock-backs, however.Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said on Sunday after returning home to a hero's welcome he cannot accept it because it does not call for a freeze on Israeli settlements. And Egyptian foreign minister Mohamed Kamel Amr said it is a failure because it is skewed in Israel's favour.

EU pitches counter-offers to Palestinian statehood bid 24.09.11 @ 17:38 By Andrew Rettman

EU foreign affairs chief Catherine Ashton has unveiled an alternative proposal to a UN vote on recognising Palestine. But soft language on Israeli settlements and a competing French idea put the scheme in doubt.Ashton at a briefing in New York on Friday (23 September) endorsed a new model for Israeli-Palestinian peace talks put together by the Middle East Quartet - the EU, Russia, the UN and the US.This has been my primary objective - the belief that, through negotiations, we would be able to end this conflict and move to peace and security for the people of Palestine and the people of Israel, she said.The Quartet model is for negotiators to meet in one month's time and commit to ending the 70-year-old conflict by 2013. Follow-up meetings, one of them in Moscow, in three months' and six month's time, are to make substantial progress on territory and security.The Quartet in a joint communique [called] upon the parties to refrain from provocative actions. Unlike its three previous statements on the subject it said nothing on freezing Israeli settlements, however. It also made no explicit reference to Palestinian borders based on 1967 lines.Palestinian diplomats are studying the proposal and have said all options remain open, including ditching the UN membership bid for now. But their chief negotiator, Saeb Erekat, drew attention to settlements immediately after the Quartet offer came out. Israel needs to assume its own [responsibility] and end settlement activity,he told press in New York.Earlier the same day, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas put settlements at the core of his speech announcing the UN bid.The occupation is racing against time to redraw the borders on our land according to what it wants,he said. This policy is responsible for the continued failure of successive international attempts to salvage the peace process.For his part, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, told the UN General Assembly that settlement building in East Jerusalem will go on. He lambasted UN resolutions calling the city occupied land. I often hear them accuse Israel of Judaising Jerusalem. That's like accusing America of Americanising Washington, or the British of Anglicising London,he said.Meanwhile, the Palestinians are also studying a competing proposal unveiled by French President Nicolas Sarkozy two days before the Quartet.

The Sarkozy plan has the same timetable as the Quartet but calls for a big conference in Paris instead of Moscow. It also does not mention settlements. But it says Palestine should immediately get UN observer status, a move that would protect its 1967 lines and delegitimise Israeli outposts.Palestinian diplomats do not know which, if either, of the two models has the full backing of the 27 EU countries. And Sarkozy's gambit has done nothing for internal EU harmony.A number of EU diplomats told press in New York on an anonymous basis that Sarkozy has irked fellow EU countries by trying to hijack the process.One EU diplomat told this website France effectively stole the Quartet proposal by selling it as their own 48 hours before the Quartet reached its internal agreement. Like all EU member states, they were briefed on the Quartet discussions, so they knew exactly what was coming up,the contact said.

Settlers’ Begin Pro-Israel Campaign in Arab Areas-Jews in the Hevron area, described as settlers by most media, post pro-Israel signs on the highway frequently attacked by Arabs.By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu First Publish: 9/26/2011, 3:28 PM

Jews in the Hevron area, described as settlers’ by most media, post pro-Israel signs on the highway frequently attacked by Arab and where a rock-throwing terrorist caused the deaths of a father and baby son last Friday.Instead of carrying out violent price tag operations against Arabs, Hevron area residents hung posters and slogans on Highway 60, which connects Jerusalem with Gush Etzion and Hevron, according to the Bethlehem-based Ma'an news agency.Among the slogans were, This is the land of our fathers and grandfathers, and This is the Land of Israel. The posters also were displayed in Jerusalem neighborhoods predominantly populated by Arabs.Ma'an said some of the posters also threatened violence against Arabs, but unlike actions following recent terrorist attacks, Jewish residents’ response to last Friday’s deadly rock-throwing was bitter but generally quiet.A pro-Israel campaign in Arab areas is an innovation that spreads the message to Arabs of the historic and current Jewish presence in Judea and Samaria.

Meanwhile, Israel’s mainstream media have not pursued an investigation of why the IDF and police initially declared that Friday’s deaths were a result of a traffic accident allegedly caused by speeding. Similarly, Public Security Minister Yitzchak Aharonovitch has not questioned the initial reaction by police.Earlier this year, after a violent pre-dawn raid on an outpost in Samaria, he did not investigate police who initially said that no rubber bullets or violence were used but later were forced to change their explanation following video evidence to the contrary.

Op-Ed: Mahmoud Abbas' Bag of Lies
Published: Monday, September 26, 2011 12:55 PM


A point by point rebuttal by our intrepid Italian MP.MP Fiamma Nirenstein
First published in Italian in Il Giornale, September 25, 2011, translation sent by the writer http://fiammanirenstein.com/articoli.asp?Categoria=5&Id=2704

After the round of applause to Mahmoud Abbas who asked the U.N. Security Council for the recognition of the Palestinian State, the Quartet tries to postpone the decision hoping for delay with the procedures and asking the parties to go back to the negotiating table.But the speech delivered by the Palestinian President reveals a narrative, an aggressive fantasy that completely denies any possibly of peace, that is the delegitimization of Israel itself.The first misunderstanding is the worst:
Abbas, while promising to respect Israel and to search for peace, insists on the 1948 nakba. For him, the Jewish State is an illegitimate colonial presence. He refers to the nakba, to an occupation since 1948, not since 1967: he says that refugees - like him, he underlined - still keep the keys of their home in Haifa or in Safed (where he was born and from which he fled in 1948 to Syria). They must go home to Israel, not to Palestine. He forgets that they left because of a war staged by five Arab countries against the partition plan.The new Palestinian state, as drawn on the UN website of the Palestinian delegation or in the textbooks of the Palestinian pupils, is the map of Israel.

Abbas said that, out of generosity, the Palestinians accept restricingt their territory to 22 per cent of the Historical Palestine. But he doesn’t say that this Palestine (a name derived from Filistin - a non native, but Mediterranean population - that the Romans gave to the area) is one of the countries designed in 1920 by the League of Nations (like Syria or Iraq) after the collapse of the Turkish Empire. And that it was allotted to the Jewish people in recognition of its ancestral rights. The British Mandate took later on the political decision to split it in order to give part of the land to Jordan.Abbas speaks about an ethnic cleansing that never happened. If ever, his plan affirms that his new Palestinian State will ban any presence of Jews.Then comes the other hateful invention that he builds in his speech step by step: Israel is a racist and apartheid State. This is simply inconceivable. It will suffice to look at the incredible mix of colors, cultures, ethnic groups from the Knesset on to hospitals and schools…Then the lie that it is Israel that hampers the negotiations: since the time of the Arab three nos in Khartoum in 1967, Israel has offered land for peace as envisaged in Resolution 242. Israel withdrew from all the Palestinian cities under the Oslo agreement and 98 per cent of Palestinian Arabs live in the Autonomous areas.The number of checkpoints, that Abbas describes as a sadistic game of the Jews, has actually been reduced by Netanyahu's government – contrary to what Abbas claims – and what is left is designed to control possible terrorists. Israel has all the reasons in the world to do it, as Friday's murders showed..

Another lie: that Israel is impairing the Palestinian economy. Indeed it has propelled it intensively and would certainly do more if the Palestinians had a less aggressive attitude.Then the annexation fence - as Abu Mazen calls it - has actually stopped terrorism. What annexation is he talking about? The territories: Egypt made peace and it obtained Sinai. Israel left Lebanon and Gaza unilaterally and certainly the results have not been very encouraging.The Judea and Samaria communities: they only account for 1.36 per cent of the West Bank. The last settlement approved dates back to 1999. It is true that the natural growth is high, but Netanyahu froze their construction for ten months and he did not receive any signal from the Palestinians about the renewal of negotiations. Today residents actually complain of a de facto freeze.Finally, Abu Mazen states that the Palestinians are only armed with their hopes. He knows all too well that they are armed with arms. Israel has been hit by thousands of missiles fired from Gaza and many of them are long-range Grad, a kind gift from Iran.It would be better to negotiate instead of spreading blame and hatred before the U.N., which always applauds sympathetically the Palestinians, too much of an easy game.

Netanyahu: Abbas Trying to Detour Negotiations-Netanyahu on Meet the Press: The Palestinians are trying to get a state without giving Israel peace. That should not succeed.By Elad Benari First Publish: 9/26/2011, 5:15 AM

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Sunday said that the Palestinian Authority’s unilateral statehood bid was simply a way to detour peace negotiations.Speaking on NBC’s Meet the Press just two days after PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas’ UN speech and Netanyahu’s own response speech, the Prime Minister said, The Palestinians want a state, but they have to give peace in return. What they’re trying to do in the United Nations is to get a state without giving Israel peace or giving Israel peace and security…That should not succeed. But what should succeed is for them to actually sit down and negotiate with us to get two states for two peoples, a demilitarized Palestinian state that recognizes a Jewish state.Netanyahu added that the PA’s leadership is trying to get away without negotiating. They’re trying to get a state to continue the conflict with Israel rather than to end it. They’re trying to basically detour around peace negotiations by going to the UN and have the automatic majority in the UN General Assembly give them, give them a state. That’s unfortunate.Netanyahu rejected the host’s suggestion that Israel is isolated following the Arab Spring.We’re not isolated in this country, which happens to be the strongest country on earth,he said.I walked yesterday in Central Park. You know, people met me. Jewish-Americans, but many non-Jewish-Americans and they said, Keep the faith. We’re strong. Be strong. We’re with you.

Many, many countries are coming to realize that our demand that we have direct negotiations and that the Palestinians finally recognize a Jewish state and give this tiny country Israel the security requirements it needs, people are getting around to that, added Netanyahu.Responding to a question about whether President Barack Obama is as good a friend of Israel as President George W. Bush was, Netanyahu said: Israel enjoys tremendous bipartisan support. This is what, I think, is one of the great blessings that Israel has in the, in the 21st century. And I think that bipartisan support is expressed by any person who happens to be the president of the United States, including President Obama. Every one of the U.S. presidents represents and acts on the tremendous innate friendship of the American people to Israel.Netanyahu expressed his disappointment at the fact that Abbas refused to recognize the Jewish right to the land of Israel and his claim that Israel has been occupying Palestinian territory for 63 years.Why can’t you recognize our history? he said.Why can’t you recognize the Jewish connection to the Jewish land? And why can’t we work out--recognize the past, seize the future? And I'm willing to do that.Finally, Netanyahu responded to former President Bill Clinton’s remarks last week, who was critical of Netanyahu and said that his government has moved away from the consensus for peace, making a final agreement more difficult.

I regretfully and respectfully disagree with former President Clinton, Netanyahu said. He should know more than anyone else that in the peace conference that he presided in Camp David in 2000 with Arafat and former Prime Minister Barak, it was the Palestinian side who walked away from his own parameters. And in 2008, President Bush can tell you how the Palestinian side, led by President Abbas walked away, just would not close in on another prime minister’s suggestions. And in the two and a half years since then, anybody conversant with the facts knows that I made these offers again and again, called for two states for two peoples, froze the settlements. Nobody did that ever for nearly a year. They didn’t come, they don't want to come, and they go around to the UN.We could arrive in an arrangement that takes care of Israel’s security needs and gives the Palestinians a life of dignity for themselves, but they have to have leaders who are prepared to do it, he added. And you know what, I hope they do, not only for our sake, for their sake, too.

Erdogan: Israel Killed Thousands of Palestinians-Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan's latest attack on Israel comes during a CNN interview, claims Israel uses genocide on PA Arabs.By Elad Benari First Publish: 9/26/2011, 5:42 AM

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan attacked Israel once again on Sunday, suggesting his country’s ties with the Jewish state may never be normalized.Erdogan, who was speaking in an interview on CNN, said, For the time being, I can clearly and frankly state that the relations between Israel and Turkey have been broken on the basis of an issue that is being raised by Israel, which began when the flotilla bearing humanitarian aid was trying to get to Gaza.He added that the flotilla had passengers from 33 different countries and was attacked both from the sea and the air. At the end of these attacks, nine Turkish citizens died. One of them is an American citizen of Turkish descent and the American citizen’s rights have not been defended by the United States.Erdogan, who was referring to the incident on the Mavi Marmara in 2010, failed to mention that the IHH terrorists onboard the Marmara, who called themselves peace activists, attacked the IDF soldiers with clubs and knives and attempted to kidnap them.We’ve demanded they apologize, pay compensation, and eliminate the embargo on Gaza once and for all, he said.If these demands are not met, relations between Turkey and Israel will never become normal again. We have nothing against the people of Israel, but against the attitude adopted by the administration of Israel.Erdogan didn’t stop there and also blamed Israel for killing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians.

They (Israel) say that Palestine is bombing and disturbing the people of Israel, and many Israelis have been killed, he said. I would like to see accurate statistics of how many Israelis have been killed by the bombs thrown by Palestinians or with the rockets that were launched by them, 10, 20, 100, 200, how many? Please document it. Let us know.But on the other hand, added Erdogan,we know that hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were killed. Only as a result of the Gaza attack, thousands of people were killed. These are very clear remarks. The Israeli people are only resorting back to the issue of genocide in history.The Turkish Prime Minister said that if you want normalization, you have to take certain steps to restore peace and stop causing unrest. Israel possesses nuclear bombs. Israel possesses heavy weaponry. Israel possesses phosphorous bombs and weapons of mass destruction. What is it they don’t have? They have it all, but I might ask you the same question -- what does Palestine possess? How do you think Palestine is capable of killing as many Israeli people as claimed? Let’s stop deceiving each other because the human race will no longer be deceived. Everybody knows what Israel is about.Erdogan has taken every possible opportunity to slam Israel ever since his country cut off diplomatic ties with Israel. Turkey chose to do so after the UN’s Palmer Report on the flotilla concluded that Israel faces a real threat to its security from militant groups in Gaza and determined that Israel’s naval blockade on the region was imposed as a legitimate security measure.Last week, Erdogan gave a speech in the United Nations in which he accused Israel of failing to comply with 89 UN resolutions and claimed that the Israeli leadership buries peace.Israel’s security cabinet has made a firm decision not to respond to Erdogan’s verbal attacks, in an attempt to avoid further inflaming the delicate diplomatic situation with Turkey.

STORMS HURRICANES-TORNADOES

LUKE 21:25-26
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity;(MASS CONFUSION) the sea and the waves roaring;(FIERCE WINDS)
26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

THE FIRST JUDGEMENT OF THE EARTH STARTED WITH WATER-IT ONLY MAKES SENSE THE LAST GENERATION WILL BE HAVING FLOODING
GENESIS 7:6-12
6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
GOD PROMISED BY A RAINBOW-THE EARTH WOULD NEVER BE DESTROYED TOTALLY WITH A FLOOD AGAIN.BUT FLOODIING IS A SIGN OF JUDGEMENT.

LUCKNOW, India – Monsoon rains have collapsed mud huts and flooded wide swaths of north and east India, killing at least 48 people in recent days and leaving hundreds of thousands of people marooned by the raging waters, officials said Monday.Those stranded were taking shelter atop trees, hills and rooftops in eastern Orissa state and the northern states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. National rescue helicopters were dropping food parcels in hard-to-reach areas, while hundreds of boats were being used to ferry the stranded to safety.But the rains, expected to continue for another two days, were holding up rescue efforts, officials said.All 31 people killed over the weekend in eastern villages of Uttar Pradesh state died when the roof of their mud houses collapsed, Relief Commissioner K.K. Sinha said. The state offered compensation of about $2,200 to victims' families.Many of them died in their sleep, said P.K. Upadhaya, a district magistrate in Jaunpur, where 18 of the deaths occurred.Heavy rainfall hampered the rescue operation.Another 17 people were swept away over the weekend by surging floodwaters in eastern Orissa state, where more than 130,000 have been evacuated from low-lying areas near rivers that burst their banks, Revenue and Disaster Management Minister S.N. Patra said. Since the monsoon began in August more than 70 people have died in Orissa.

The state's chief minister this week widened the evacuation area, while the Indian Air Force was ordered to send more aircraft to help.Hundreds of thousands were scrambling into trees or on top of buildings to escape the rising waters.The northern Bihar state, where 12 southern districts were inundated after dams in Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh states burst, engineers were ordered to cancel holidays and guard the riverbanks from further erosion, Water Resources Minister Vijendra Choudhary.Associated Press writer Indrajit Singh in Patna and contributed to this report.
