WASHINGTON (AP) -- Everyone who pays income tax — and some who don't —will feel it.
So will doctors who accept Medicare, people who get unemployment aid, defense contractors, air traffic controllers, national park rangers and companies that do research and development.The package of tax increases and spending cuts known as the "fiscal cliff" takes effect in January unless Congress passes a budget deal by then. The economy would be hit so hard that it would likely sink into recession in the first half of 2013, economists say.And no matter who you are, it will be all but impossible to avoid the pain.
Middle income families would have to pay an average of about $2,000 more next year, the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center has calculated.Up to 3.4 million jobs would be lost, the Congressional Budget Office estimates. The unemployment rate would reach 9.1 percent from the current 7.9 percent. Stocks could plunge. The nonpartisan CBO estimates the total cost of the cliff in 2013 at $671 billion.Collectively, the tax increases would be the steepest to hit Americans in 60 years when measured as a percentage of the economy."There would be a huge shock effect to the U.S. economy," says Mark Vitner, an economist at Wells Fargo.Most of the damage — roughly two-thirds — would come from the tax increases. But the spending cuts would cause pain, too.The bleak scenario could push the White House and Congress to reach a deal before year's end. On Tuesday, Congress returns for a post-election session that could last through Dec. 31. At a minimum, analysts say some temporary compromise might be reached, allowing a final deal to be cut early next year.Still, uncertainty about a final deal could cause many companies to further delay hiring and spend less. Already, many U.S. companies say anxiety about the fiscal cliff has led them to put off plans to expand or hire.A breakdown in negotiations could also ignite turmoil in financial markets, Vitner said. It could resemble the 700-point fall in the Dow Jones industrial average in 2008 after the House initially rejected the $700 billion bailout of major banks.Since President Barack Obama's re-election, nervous investors have sold stocks. The Standard & Poor's 500 index sank 2.3 percent last week, its worst weekly drop since June. The sell-off resulted in part from anxiety over higher tax rates on investment gains once the fiscal cliff kicks in.Last week, Obama said he was open to compromise with Republican leaders. But the White House said he would veto any bill that would extend tax cuts on income above $250,000.
Republican House Speaker John Boehner countered that higher tax rates on upper-income Americans would slow job growth. Boehner argued that any deal must reduce tax rates, eliminate special-interest loopholes and rein in government benefits.More than 50 percent of the tax increases would come from the expiration of tax cuts approved in 2001 and 2003 and from additional tax cuts in a 2009 economic stimulus law.The first set of tax cuts reduced rates on income, investment gains, dividends and estates. They also boosted tax credits for families with children. Deductions for married couples also rose. The 2009 measure increased tax credits for low-income earners and college students.About 20 percent of the tax increase would come from the expiration of a Social Security tax cut enacted in 2010. This change would cost someone making $50,000 about $1,000 a year, or nearly $20 a week, and a household with two high-paid workers up to $4,500, or nearly $87 a week.The end of the Social Security tax cut isn't technically among the changes triggered by the fiscal cliff. But because it expires at the same time, it's included in most calculations of the fiscal cliff's effects.And it could catch many people by surprise."Every worker in America is going to see a reduction in their paycheck in the first pay period of 2013," Vitner noted.An additional 20 percent of the tax increase would come from the end of about 80 tax breaks, mostly for businesses. One is a tax credit for research and development. Another lets companies deduct from their income half the cost of large equipment or machinery.Mark Bakko, a Minneapolis accountant, says many mid-size companies he advises are holding off on equipment purchases or hiring until the fate of those tax breaks becomes clear. Bakko noted that the research and development credit typically lets a company that hired an engineer at a $100,000 salary cut its tax bill by $10,000. The credit has been routinely extended since the 1980s.The rest of the tax increase would come mainly from the alternative minimum tax, or AMT. It would hit 30 million Americans, up from 4 million now.The costly AMT was designed to prevent rich people from exploiting loopholes and deductions to avoid any income tax. But the AMT wasn't indexed for inflation, so it's increasingly threatened middle-income taxpayers. Congress has acted each year to prevent the AMT from hitting many more people.
Under the fiscal cliff, households in the lowest 20 percent of earners would pay an average of $412 more, the Tax Policy Center calculates. The top 20 percent would pay an average $14,000 more, the top 1 percent $121,000 more.All this would lead many consumers to spend less. Anticipating reduced sales and profits, businesses would likely cut jobs. Others would delay hiring.Another part of the cliff is a package of across-the-board spending cuts to defense and domestic programs — cuts the CBO says would total about $85 billion. Congress and the Obama administration agreed last year that these cuts would kick in if a congressional panel couldn't agree on a deficit-reduction plan. The magnitude of the cuts was intended to force agreement. It didn't.Defense spending would shrink 10 percent. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has said those cuts would cause temporary job losses among civilian Pentagon employees and major defense contractors. Spending on weapons programs would be cut.For domestic programs, like highway funding, aid to state and local governments and health research, spending would drop about 8 percent. Education grants to states and localities; the FBI and other law enforcement; environmental protection; and air traffic controllers, among others, would also be affected, the White House says.Hospitals and doctors' offices could also cut jobs if an $11 billion cut in Medicare payments isn't reversed.Extended unemployment benefits for about 2 million people would end. The extra benefits provide up to 73 weeks of aid."It would be nice if we could ... address these issues before the very last moment," said Donald Marron, the Tax Policy Center's director.
THE PHILISTINES OF THE BIBLE ARE THE PALESTINIANS TODAY.SO THIS DESECRATION OF JEWISH LIFE BY THE PALESTINIANS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 3,500 PLUS YEARS.
Tel Aviv University archaeology researchers have discovered
unprecedented desecration of Israelite holy sites 3,100 years ago,
possibly by Philistines, who the Palestinian Authority say are the
original Palestinians.
The researchers uncovered a unique 11th-century BCE sacred compound at the site of Tel Beth-Shemesh, west of Jerusalem.The newly discovered sacred complex at the site of an ancient village that resisted the aggressive expansion of neighboring Philistines is comprised of an elevated, massive circular stone structure and an intricately constructed building.Co-directors of the dig, Tel Aviv Univ. Prof. Shlomo Bunimovitz and Dr. Tzvi Lederman, said that this temple complex is unparalleled, possibly connected to an early Israelite cult — and provides remarkable new evidence of the deliberate desecration of a sacred site.It is not associated with the First Temple, which was built approximately a century later in Jerusalem. The Palestinian Authority has systematically removed tons of debris that includes artifacts from the First and Second Temples, and Muslims have been viewed desecrating the Temple Mount.The desecration at the Tel Beht Shemesh was discovered through an analysis of weeds that showed that some animal pens had been placed at the temple site.The village of Beth-Shemesh frequently changed hands between the ambitious Philistines and the Canaanite and Israelite populations that resisted them. The temple and its history reflect the power struggles that defined the region in the 12th-11th century BCE, say Prof. Bunimovitz and Dr. Lederman. Their findings will be presented this month at the annual meeting of the American Schools of Oriental Research in Chicago.
In the archaeological record, there are no parallels to this Canaanite or Israelite sacred compound of the period, note the researchers.Excavators determined that the temple was not only destroyed, but also desecrated. More intensive scientific analysis of the site has shown that the temple ruins were used as animal pens, maybe by the invading Philistines.After ruling out the use of the site as a domestic structure, the researchers knew that they had found something unique. Excavations revealed almost only shards of painted chalices and goblets found spread on the floor but no traces of domestic use.One of the three flat stones was surrounded by animal bone remnants, and the two other stones were seemingly designed to direct liquids. These clues convinced Prof. Bunimovitz and Dr. Lederman that they had uncovered a likely place of sacred worship.But the temple didn't remain sacred. Samples of earth taken from layers above the destroyed temple and analyzed at the Weizmann Institute of Science revealed astonishing results. Directly above the temple was a packed-in layer containing remains of weeds that are commonly eaten by livestock and microscopic remnants of manure produced by grass-eating animals, indicating the presence of animal pens directly on top of the sacred site, explains Prof. Bunimovitz.Intermittent burning in order to clean the pens likely resulted in the concentrated state of the layer.This desecration was no accident or coincidence, the researchers believe. Instead, it represents the see-saw of political might between the Philistines and the local population. Presumably the Philistines gained temporary control of Beth-Shemesh, and brought in livestock to live on what they knew had been a sacred site to their enemies.This discovery also serves to illuminate the recent discovery of a number of round clay ovens, called "tabuns," in the layer excavated above the temple, according to Prof. Bunimovitz and Dr. Lederman.Typically, such ovens were located in a domestic building for food preparation, explains Prof. Bunimovitz. But these particular ovens were not part of a neighborhood or living quarter. When the temple was discovered directly underneath, a plausible explanation for the mysterious ovens emerged."We believe that descendants of those who had built the original complex came back to rebuild the site," says Dr. Lederman, who suspects that the ovens were used to cook celebration feasts held in veneration of the old temple. Despite the desecration of the temple by the Philistines, the memory of the sacred site survived. Once the Philistines withdrew from the area, the descendents of the original worshippers returned to commemorate this sacred place.

IAF aircraft conducted several airstrikes in Gaza on Monday night, hitting at least three targets.
Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood-led government is suggesting that the country’s new constitution be based on the principles of Islam.The Muslim Brotherhood’s website published on Monday the draft
of the new constitution, which was put together by a special committee
numbering 100 members, the majority of which are members of the Muslim
Brotherhood and the Salafist parties.According to the draft, translated by Arab affairs expert Dalit Halevi, the main clauses in the new constitution are:“[Sunni] Islam is the religion of the state, Arabic is the official
language and the principles of Islamic law are the main source for
legislation.”
"The principles of the religion of the Christians and the Jews are the main source of legislation for the personal and religious affairs and for the purpose of choosing their spiritual leaders.""The Al-Azhar (considered the highest authority in Sunni Islam) is an independent Islamic institution ... whose purpose is to spread the message of Islam and religion. All residents are equal before the law ... there shall not be discrimination because of sex, origin, language, religion, belief, opinion, social status or disability. The state ensures the freedom of religious worship of monotheistic religions in accordance with the law.”The draft also notes that "freedom of opinion is guaranteed, and should not hurt the Prophet of Prophets."On Friday, more than 10,000 ultraconservative Muslims demonstrated in Cairo’s Tahrir Square, demanding that Egypt's new constitution be based on the rulings of Islamic Sharia law.The rally was organized by a number of minority Salafi groups, but neither the Muslim Brotherhood nor the main Salafist Al-Nour party backed the protest.
Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas announced on Monday
that the PA will present its bid for non-state UN membership, despite
U.S. and Israeli opposition, AFP reported.Following talks with Arab League chief Nabil al-Arabi in Cairo, "it
has been agreed that the request will be presented on November 29,"
Abbas told reporters, calling for support from Arab states.The November 29 date was chosen on purpose, as it is the anniversary
of the day in 1947 in which the United Nations voted in favor of the
partition plan. The resolution recommended the creation of two states,
one Arab, one Jewish and granted a small portion of the area, under the
British Mandate, to the new Jewish state.The announcement was made a day after Abbas responded to U.S. President Barack Obama with a direct “no” when told the U.S. administration is opposed to the PA’s unilateral move at the United Nations.In a phone conversation with Abbas on Sunday, Obama "reiterated the United States' opposition to unilateral efforts at the United Nations", according to a White House statement released after the conversation."We don't want any confrontations with the United States or Israel.
If we could start a dialogue or negotiations the day after the vote, we
will," Abbas said, according to AFP."We know we are a country under occupation, but we want our land
which was occupied in 1967, including Jerusalem. Israel says Palestinian
lands are disputed and open to negotiation, and is hurrying to build
settlements, covering Jerusalem with settlements," he accused.
Abbas met earlier on Monday in Riyadh with Saudi King Abdullah, before travelling to Cairo for an Arab League meeting.Palestinian negotiator Mohammed Shtayeh told a news conference in Ramallah that the bid had been delayed at Washington's request until after last week's U.S. presidential election."Now there is no excuse for anybody to ask us not to go to the United Nations," Shtayeh said, according to AFP.
"President Abbas will attend the Assembly General session for the vote," his spokesman, Nabil Abu Rudeina, told AFP.Shtayeh played down threats by Israel to take punitive measures against the PA should it press ahead with its UN bid, saying he believed any response would be relatively limited."I think that most of these measures that have been declared will be empty threats," AFP quoted him as having said."Israel has a vested interest in maintaining the status of the Palestinian Authority as it stands today and I don't think that the Israelis are in a position to push this Palestinian Authority to a total collapse," said Shtayeh.He added the Arab League had promised the PA a financial safety net in the event of punitive Israeli sanctions.PLO negotiator Saeb Erekat told Voice of Palestine radio on Monday that PA officials were working to have the League pledge implemented."We are trying to activate the decision related to the Arab safety network, valued at $100 million monthly, in case Israel blocks our money and the U.S. closes the PLO office and halts aid," he said.Erekat said "Obama did not utter any threats but there are threats from the Congress, which has a draft bill, according to which it would demand closing the PLO office in Washington and cutting off aid" if the UN bid goes ahead.Channel 10 News reported last week that Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman has threatened that if the PA goes ahead with its unilateral statehood bid he “will work to ensure the PA will collapse.”Lieberman reportedly stressed that a unilateral statehood bid by the PA will "put an end to the chances to resume peace negotiations."Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz also threatened the PA on Saturday, saying that Israel would once again halt the transfer of the taxes it collects for the Palestinian Authority if it pursues its statehood bid.

Most in US won't be able to escape 'fiscal cliff'
Most of America would be hit by tax increases and spending cuts from 'fiscal cliff'
By | Associated Press – 1 hour 39 minutes ago NOV 13,12WASHINGTON (AP) -- Everyone who pays income tax — and some who don't —will feel it.

Under the fiscal cliff, households in the lowest 20 percent of earners would pay an average of $412 more, the Tax Policy Center calculates. The top 20 percent would pay an average $14,000 more, the top 1 percent $121,000 more.All this would lead many consumers to spend less. Anticipating reduced sales and profits, businesses would likely cut jobs. Others would delay hiring.Another part of the cliff is a package of across-the-board spending cuts to defense and domestic programs — cuts the CBO says would total about $85 billion. Congress and the Obama administration agreed last year that these cuts would kick in if a congressional panel couldn't agree on a deficit-reduction plan. The magnitude of the cuts was intended to force agreement. It didn't.Defense spending would shrink 10 percent. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has said those cuts would cause temporary job losses among civilian Pentagon employees and major defense contractors. Spending on weapons programs would be cut.For domestic programs, like highway funding, aid to state and local governments and health research, spending would drop about 8 percent. Education grants to states and localities; the FBI and other law enforcement; environmental protection; and air traffic controllers, among others, would also be affected, the White House says.Hospitals and doctors' offices could also cut jobs if an $11 billion cut in Medicare payments isn't reversed.Extended unemployment benefits for about 2 million people would end. The extra benefits provide up to 73 weeks of aid."It would be nice if we could ... address these issues before the very last moment," said Donald Marron, the Tax Policy Center's director.
THE PHILISTINES OF THE BIBLE ARE THE PALESTINIANS TODAY.SO THIS DESECRATION OF JEWISH LIFE BY THE PALESTINIANS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 3,500 PLUS YEARS.
Holy Site Desecration Traced to Philistine Era
PA Arabs are not the first to desecrate holy sites. Archaeologists discover Philistines may have done the same 3,100 years ago.By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu First Publish: 11/13/2012, 11:56 AM-INN

The researchers uncovered a unique 11th-century BCE sacred compound at the site of Tel Beth-Shemesh, west of Jerusalem.The newly discovered sacred complex at the site of an ancient village that resisted the aggressive expansion of neighboring Philistines is comprised of an elevated, massive circular stone structure and an intricately constructed building.Co-directors of the dig, Tel Aviv Univ. Prof. Shlomo Bunimovitz and Dr. Tzvi Lederman, said that this temple complex is unparalleled, possibly connected to an early Israelite cult — and provides remarkable new evidence of the deliberate desecration of a sacred site.It is not associated with the First Temple, which was built approximately a century later in Jerusalem. The Palestinian Authority has systematically removed tons of debris that includes artifacts from the First and Second Temples, and Muslims have been viewed desecrating the Temple Mount.The desecration at the Tel Beht Shemesh was discovered through an analysis of weeds that showed that some animal pens had been placed at the temple site.The village of Beth-Shemesh frequently changed hands between the ambitious Philistines and the Canaanite and Israelite populations that resisted them. The temple and its history reflect the power struggles that defined the region in the 12th-11th century BCE, say Prof. Bunimovitz and Dr. Lederman. Their findings will be presented this month at the annual meeting of the American Schools of Oriental Research in Chicago.
In the archaeological record, there are no parallels to this Canaanite or Israelite sacred compound of the period, note the researchers.Excavators determined that the temple was not only destroyed, but also desecrated. More intensive scientific analysis of the site has shown that the temple ruins were used as animal pens, maybe by the invading Philistines.After ruling out the use of the site as a domestic structure, the researchers knew that they had found something unique. Excavations revealed almost only shards of painted chalices and goblets found spread on the floor but no traces of domestic use.One of the three flat stones was surrounded by animal bone remnants, and the two other stones were seemingly designed to direct liquids. These clues convinced Prof. Bunimovitz and Dr. Lederman that they had uncovered a likely place of sacred worship.But the temple didn't remain sacred. Samples of earth taken from layers above the destroyed temple and analyzed at the Weizmann Institute of Science revealed astonishing results. Directly above the temple was a packed-in layer containing remains of weeds that are commonly eaten by livestock and microscopic remnants of manure produced by grass-eating animals, indicating the presence of animal pens directly on top of the sacred site, explains Prof. Bunimovitz.Intermittent burning in order to clean the pens likely resulted in the concentrated state of the layer.This desecration was no accident or coincidence, the researchers believe. Instead, it represents the see-saw of political might between the Philistines and the local population. Presumably the Philistines gained temporary control of Beth-Shemesh, and brought in livestock to live on what they knew had been a sacred site to their enemies.This discovery also serves to illuminate the recent discovery of a number of round clay ovens, called "tabuns," in the layer excavated above the temple, according to Prof. Bunimovitz and Dr. Lederman.Typically, such ovens were located in a domestic building for food preparation, explains Prof. Bunimovitz. But these particular ovens were not part of a neighborhood or living quarter. When the temple was discovered directly underneath, a plausible explanation for the mysterious ovens emerged."We believe that descendants of those who had built the original complex came back to rebuild the site," says Dr. Lederman, who suspects that the ovens were used to cook celebration feasts held in veneration of the old temple. Despite the desecration of the temple by the Philistines, the memory of the sacred site survived. Once the Philistines withdrew from the area, the descendents of the original worshippers returned to commemorate this sacred place.

IDF says it will draft 14,000 ultra-Orthodox teens next year
State responds to petition to High Court of Justice demanding equality of service with promise to gradually increase enlistment
November 13, 2012, 5:07 am
1-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL
Thousands of 18- and 19-year-old
ultra-Orthodox men will be drafted into the IDF as of this coming
summer, according to plans authorized by the army. The state announced
the plans on Monday, in response to a petition to the High Court of
Justice demanding that the government replace the expired Tal Law, which
provided a near-blanket exemption of yeshiva students from military or
national service, with legislation instituting universal conscription.The petition was submitted this past summer by
The Movement for Quality Government in Israel following the expiration
of the Tal Law. For more than a decade, the law allowed ultra-Orthodox
yeshiva students to defer service in the IDF until the age of 28, when
they were considered by the military too old to serve.According to the recruitment program announced
Monday, approved by Defense Minister Ehud Barak, about 14,000 young men
born in 1994 and 1995 would be enlisted next summer for three full
years of service. However, about 40,000 ultra-Orthodox men, ages 20 to
30 (and thus falling in the recruitment bracket), would not be called
up retrospectively — barring any new legislation to the contrary.
“The arrangement formulated by the IDF focuses
on the present and future, not amending the past,” read the state’s
official statement, noting a definitive solution to the problem would
have to first pass legislative channels.The Kadima party entered the governing
coalition with the Likud in May in order to legislate a new universal
draft law that would ensure yeshiva students shared the burden of
military service. However, disagreements over the bill shattered the
coalition, with Kadima exiting in July, blaming Netanyahu for sabotaging
the reform.The High Court of Justice will hold a hearing on the issue on Thursday.
New Yorkers' easier commute is welcome post-storm progress
By Barbara Goldberg and Edith Honan | Reuters – 4 hrs ago NOV 13,12
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Millions of New York City commuters, whose routines were capsized by Superstorm Sandy,
kicked off the work week on Monday with a slightly smoother trip thanks
to light holiday traffic, restoration of some train lines and an
opening of the final tunnel shut by historic flooding.Two weeks after the storm, tens of thousands of homes and businesses in the hardest-hit sections of New York and New Jersey remained without electricity, but most residents affected elsewhere were powered up.On Long Island, where some 56,000 homes and businesses remained without service on Monday afternoon, the New York state-owned Long Island Power Authority said it expects to restore power to most of those able to receive it by the end of Tuesday.LIPA said up to 17,500 customers in Nassau and Suffolk
and 29,000 in the Rockaways in New York City were unable to receive
power safely because severe flooding may have damaged electrical panels,
wires, outlets and appliances.Even with the lights on, some homes remained without
phone, Internet and TV service due to damaged equipment and wires
brought down by the deadly storm.At least 121 people perished in the storm, which caused
an estimated $50 billion in property damage and economic losses and
ranks as one of the most destructive natural disasters to hit the U.S.
Northeast.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said he plans to ask the federal government for a supplemental appropriation of $30 billion in disaster aid - on top of reimbursements expected from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for out-of-pocket emergency expenditures.The money would pay for infrastructure costs, housing needs, costs to local governments, and small business losses, while helping with the long-term economic recovery in New York City, Long Island and other devastated parts of the state, he said."The damage here is much more severe than just the out-of-pocket expense," Cuomo told a news conference. "This was cataclysmic for New York, and I think it is a wise investment for the federal government to help us to build this economy back."President Barack Obama is to visit the city's disaster areas on Thursday.
Meanwhile, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg joined with City Council Speaker Christine Quinn and city Comptroller John Liu to announce an emergency capital appropriation of $500 million to repair public schools and hospitals.Bloomberg said in a news conference that while the city will seek federal reimbursements for its expenditures, it was moving ahead without any guarantees of repayment."Our city has never experienced a storm as destructive as Hurricane Sandy, and financing for these repairs is as necessary as it is urgent," Bloomberg said. "These school buildings and public hospitals are resources that hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers rely on every day - and we are not waiting for federal aid to begin the work of repairing and reopening them."The City Council will vote on the package on Tuesday.

CLOSER TO NORMAL
At the start of the work week, commuter stress was
eased by the opening of the Hugh Carey-Brooklyn Battery tunnel to buses
only, the return of all Metro North and Long Island Railroad Lines but
one and restoration of limited service on a New Jersey Transit train
line into New York's Penn Station."I was really
afraid of overcrowding today but the train was half full," said Anne
O'Malley, 46, a marketer who rides NJ Transit from Maplewood, New Jersey, to New York.Since Sandy struck two weeks ago, O'Malley has endured
four hours of daily commuting - double her usual travel time - but it
was closer to normal on Monday.The railroad is concentrating on repairing all damaged
trains, restoring damaged overhead wires and washed out tracks and
aligning rails, said NJ Transit spokeswoman Nancy Snyder.Two major train lines from New Jersey into New York
remain suspended. Commuters were urged to use alternatives provided by
NJ Transit, including free bus trips to free or low-cost ferries across
the Hudson River, some docking at 39th Street, others headed for lower
Manhattan."Things take time,"
Snyder said. "Much like New Jerseyans sustained personal loss, the
transit system suffered too."For the most part, a
federal holiday - Veterans Day - meant a less congested commute. It was
hit and miss for many, with some bus riders reporting being stuck for
more than two hours outside the Lincoln Tunnel where, Snyder said, two
buses collided, injuring about 20 people.New Jersey Governor
Chris Christie tweeted that gas rationing in his state would end at 6
a.m. on Tuesday, although rationing continued in New York City under a
system in which cars with odd- and even-numbered license plates can fill
up only on alternate days.Bloomberg said anecdotal evidence suggests "lines are
shorter" and more gas stations have reopened, but the city's
restrictions on fuel purchases will remain in effect.(Additional reporting by Scott DiSavino; Editing by Paul Thomasch and Christopher Wilson)
Statue of Liberty storm damage will take month to assess
By Chris Francescani | Reuters – 7 hrs ago NOV 13,12- Enlarge PhotoReuters/Reuters - The Statue of Liberty is seen in New York October 27, 2012. REUTERS/Carlo Allegri
NEW YORK (Reuters) - The National Park Service expects to know within a month the total cost and time it will take to repair storm damage to Liberty and Ellis Islands and to reopen the Statue of Liberty to tourists, a spokesman said on Monday.The statue was not damaged by superstorm Sandy, but Liberty Island sustained significant infrastructure damage that will delay the monument's re-opening indefinitely, said Mark Litterst, a Park Service spokesman."It was quite a shock to see the extent of the damage,'' Litterst said.
Officials said Ellis Island's invaluable cache of historical documents and records was not harmed by the storm.Power was restored to Liberty Island on Saturday night,
but its main administration building, which houses the park's
mechanical systems, sustained severe damage from four feet of flood
water, Litterst said.
Liberty Island's dock, where tourists arrive by ferry from Manhattan's Battery Park and New Jersey's Liberty State Park, also sustained significant damage and may need to be rebuilt."The walkway just
got lifted off the pilings and shifted off its support," Litterst said.
"We may be able to repair the dock if it's still structurally sound, but
if not it will have to be replaced, and that's a longer process."The 305-foot
(93-metre) monument, which the park service says can sway up to 3 inches
in winds of 50 mph, was closed to visitors for a year during an
extensive renovation. It had only been open for six hours last month
when Sandy roared into New York Harbor.More than 300 members of the National Park Service's
incident response team are assessing damage to 15 national parks sites
in Sandy's path."When asked to respond to a place like the Statue of
Liberty, we drop everything and go," said Litterst. "We're as anxious as
anybody to find out how long it will take to get it fixed up and open
its doors again to the American public."(Editing by Ellen Wulfhorst and Doina Chiacu)
Netanyahu has few options in the south, none of them good
With scant international support, an uncompromising foe, a region in flux, and thousands of residents under fire, the prime minister has little room for maneuver
November 12, 2012, 11:33 pm
5-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL
Israel’s situation today vis-à-vis Gaza, from the bottom up, is quite untenable.
Hamas and other groups have fired some 11,000
rockets at Israel since 2001, according to Home Front Defense Minister
Avi Dichter — 160 or so of them since Saturday evening. Israel’s
sovereignty has been violated time and again. The residents of the south
have found themselves on the front lines on innumerable occasions.
Children have been raised with the undulating alarm and the Color Red
alert poisoning their days and penetrating their sleep.People living in Sderot and Netivot are
outraged: They know that if this rocket fire was being directed at Tel
Aviv, Israel would be at war. They also know that Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak only promised to
fortify the houses situated between 4.5 and 7 kilometers from Gaza on
October 24, in the midst of an elections campaign. (Homes closer to Gaza
are already fortified.) Moreover, they know that for years the IDF and
the government decided against investing in short-and-medium-range
rocket protection, which is why batteries of the Iron Dome missile
defense system, developed against the top brass’s wishes and
increasingly vital in these rounds of rocket attacks, have thus far
been acquired in insufficient numbers and why the towns and kibbutzim
closest to the border, beneath Iron Dome’s range, remain vulnerable to rocket and mortar fire.The IDF is ready to fulfill whatever mission
the government hands down, but the senior officers know it will be hard
to claim tangible victories in a ground invasion. The best the IDF can
do is probably inflict painful blows on Hamas, as the defense minister
has said, perhaps pushing it to a negotiated ceasefire through a
combination of targeted killings and the sort of limited operation that
forces Hamas and the international community to respond. Toppling the
Hamas regime is not a sensible option — the consequences range from
chaos, to the rise of a still more extreme Islamist regime, to a
draining, vehemently unwanted restoration of Israeli responsibility —
and victories against guerilla groups are difficult to attain and nearly
impossible to secure.The government owes its citizens some sort of
solution. Speaking with Hamas, however, as advocated by former defense
minister Amir Peretz, is not something Netanyahu is likely to do, and
least of all while under fire. A limited operation, akin to winter
2008-9′s Operation Cast Lead, is a possibility., But even that means
throwing Israel into a small war in Gaza – and, like all wars, one knows
where it would start but not where it would end. This is especially
meaningful today, with the Muslim Brotherhood presidency in Egypt, the
Syrian border heating up and the entire region in a once-a-century sort
of flux.Internationally, Netanyahu has little goodwill
to call upon. Prime minister Ehud Olmert won tangible international
solidarity during Cast Lead, despite the high Gaza death toll, because
he was perceived as doing everything to advance peace efforts with
Mahmoud Abbas’ West Bank Palestinian Authority. Netanyahu enjoys no such
credit.It is difficult for the prime minister to commission a report
that deems the settlements in the West Bank legal by international law –
disregarding the opinion of every Western government – and at the same
time to expect full-throated backing from the governments whose support
Israel would need for a bloody resort to force. It is impossible to
appoint a man such as Avigdor Liberman to the post of foreign minister –
a virtual persona non grata in Washington DC and some of the capitals
of Europe — and then think that you can count on the leaders of those
countries for robust support in Israel’s hour of need. A prime minister
cannot reasonably expect to keep both Moshe Feiglin and Angela Merkel happy.Netanyahu is also a student of history. He
knows that the rules for a left wing government and a right wing
government are not similar. Internally, time has proven that only a
right wing government is capable of pushing through a peace process that
requires territorial concessions. The left wing, however, has far more
leeway in a time of conflict. Both prime minister Menachem Begin and
defense minister Ariel Sharon were shocked when some 400,000 people
turned up in Tel Aviv to protest the Lebanon War on September 25, 1982.
Never during all the years of Labor rule had the Israeli people come out
to protest while the guns were still warm.The best case scenario for Netanyahu may be to
ready the country and the world for war – much as he has done on the
Iranian issue – while clandestinely urging and fervently hoping that
someone else will intervene in its stead.But if they do not, if Egypt cannot or will
not broker a deal, and if the US is disinclined or unable to help at
this time, then however discouraging the circumstances, the Israeli
government will have to act.

UN secretary-general condemns Gazan rocket attacks
Ban Ki-moon also urges Israel to exercise caution with regard to stray fire coming from Syria
November 13, 2012, 2:03 am
1-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
on Monday expressed concern over the flare-up along Israel’s southern
border, where over 160 rockets and mortars have been launched at Israel
from Gaza since Saturday.Ban condemned Gazan terrorists for targeting
Israeli civilians and called on Jerusalem to practice restraint in
responding to the attacks.“The secretary-general reiterates his call for
an immediate cessation of indiscriminate rocket attacks by Palestinian
militants targeting Israel and strongly condemns these actions,” Ban’s
spokesman said in a statement. “Both sides should do everything to avoid
further escalation and must respect their obligations under
international humanitarian law to ensure the protection of civilians at
all times.”
Monday marked the third day in a row in which
the south of Israel was pummeled by rockets fired by Gazans. Israeli
leaders are reportedly considering a wide military action against the
Strip in a bid to reinstate a deterrent effect on would-be rocket
launchers.Israeli air strikes have until now targeted
rocket launching crews, but as the south remains paralyzed, Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has come under increasing pressure to
authorize a stronger response.Ban’s statement came a day after the
secretary-general called on Israel and Syria to work to decrease border
tensions along their borders, after Israel fired a warning shot at Syria
in response to Syrian mortars landing in Israeli territory.“The secretary-general is deeply concerned by
the potential for escalation,” his spokesperson said in a statement. “He
calls for the utmost restraint and urges Syria and Israel to uphold the
Disengagement Agreement, respect their mutual obligations, and halt
firing of any kind across the ceasefire line.”On Monday, at least two Syrian soldiers were
reported to have been injured by an Israeli tank shell fired at a mobile
Syrian Army artillery battery that had just fired a mortar shell,
reportedly by accident, into Israeli territory in the Golan Heights.
IAF Targets Three Gaza Terror Sites
IAF aircraft strike two rocket launching sites in northern Gaza and a weapons storage site in central Gaza.
Aftermath of IAF airstrike in Gaza-Flash 90
According to a statement by the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit, the aircraft
struck two rocket launching sites in northern Gaza and a weapons
storage site in central Gaza. The attack, noted the statement, is a
response to the continued rocket fire by Gaza-based terrorists into
Israeli territory.Direct hits were identified and all Israeli aircraft returned safely to their bases."The IDF will not tolerate any attempt to harm Israeli citizens and
IDF soldiers and will continue to operate against anyone who uses terror
against the State of Israel,” said the IDF statement, laying the blame
for any Gaza terrorist attacks on its Hamas rulers.Southern Israel’s residents continued to be targeted by rockets and
missiles on Monday, as thousands of children had to spend the day in
shelters and protected spaces.On Monday afternoon, a Grad missile fired by Gaza terrorists exploded next to a factory
in the industrial zone of Netivot. Six people suffered from shock as a
result of the attack. Witnesses said that there was a great deal of
damage to the structure.This was the second attack on the city Monday; earlier, a rocket fired at the city exploded in a residential neighborhood.
That rocket caused a great deal of damage, gutting a shop near where
the rocket exploded. 26 people were treated by medical personnel after
going into shock, with some needing extensive treatment at a trauma
center.The Gaza-based terrorists agreed on Monday evening to accept an Egyptian initiative
for a ceasefire. However, the terrorists, as they usually do,
conditioned the ceasefire on Israel stopping what they termed its
“continued aggression in Gaza”.Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said that Israel is to be blamed for
the current round of escalation. Hamas has declared dozens of similar
ceasefires over the years and they have never been upheld.The Home Front Command, hoping that the ceasefire will hold this time, announced late on Monday night that schools in the Gaza belt will operate as usual on Tuesday.This, however, is subject to change on Tuesday morning, should the rocket attacks by Gaza terrorists continue.Meanwhile, a special assessment was held at the Prime Minister’s
Office in Jerusalem on Monday evening. It was attended by Defense
Minister Ehud Barak, IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz and senior officers.
During the meeting it was agreed that Israel would increase the
intensity of its response to the ongoing rocket fire towards the south.Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu will meet with his nine senior
ministers on Tuesday morning to discuss other alternatives to deal with
the situation in the south, the report said.
Egypt's Constitution Draft Based on Islam
Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood-led government is suggesting that the country’s new constitution be based on the principles of Islam.By Elad Benari First Publish: 11/13/2012, 5:46 AM-INN
Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi-AFP/File
"The principles of the religion of the Christians and the Jews are the main source of legislation for the personal and religious affairs and for the purpose of choosing their spiritual leaders.""The Al-Azhar (considered the highest authority in Sunni Islam) is an independent Islamic institution ... whose purpose is to spread the message of Islam and religion. All residents are equal before the law ... there shall not be discrimination because of sex, origin, language, religion, belief, opinion, social status or disability. The state ensures the freedom of religious worship of monotheistic religions in accordance with the law.”The draft also notes that "freedom of opinion is guaranteed, and should not hurt the Prophet of Prophets."On Friday, more than 10,000 ultraconservative Muslims demonstrated in Cairo’s Tahrir Square, demanding that Egypt's new constitution be based on the rulings of Islamic Sharia law.The rally was organized by a number of minority Salafi groups, but neither the Muslim Brotherhood nor the main Salafist Al-Nour party backed the protest.
Demonstrators demanded that the panel tasked with writing the new
constitution override liberal and secular objections and include
language that could allow religious scholars to influence legislation.During his election campaign, Egyptian president-elect Mohammed Morsi reiterated his commitment to jihad and to the Islamic Sharia law.“The Koran was and will continue to be our constitution,” the Muslim
Brotherhood candidate said in a speech broadcast on Egyptian television.
“The Koran is our constitution. The prophet Muhammad is our leader.
Jihad is our path. And death for the sake of Allah is our most lofty
aspiration.”Morsi also said, “This nation will enjoy blessing and revival only
through the Islamic Sharia. I take an oath before Allah and before you
all that regardless of the actual text (of the constitution), Allah
willing, the text will truly reflect (the Sharia).”
New Syria opposition seeks recognition; Israel fires from Golan
By Rania El Gamal and Yasmine Saleh | Reuters – 2 hrs 56 mins ago NOV 13,12
DOHA/CAIRO (Reuters) - Syria's newly named opposition leader, a soft-spoken cleric backed by Washington and the Gulf Arab states, launched his quest on Monday for international recognition of a government-in-waiting to topple President Bashar al-Assad.In a sign of the
danger that the 20-month civil war could spread across Syria's borders,
Israeli forces said they fired "direct hits" on Syrian artillery in
response to a mortar strike into the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.Western and Arab enemies of Assad hope the creation of a new Syrian National Coalition for Opposition and Revolutionary Forces can finally unify a fractious and ineffective opposition.Mouaz Alkhatib, a former imam of a Damascus mosque, flew to Cairo to seek the Arab League's
blessing for the new assembly, the day after he was unanimously elected
to lead it. He made a concerted effort to address the sectarian and
ethnic acrimony underlying 20 months of civil war that has killed 38,000
people."We demand freedom for every Sunni, Alawi, Ismaili,
Christian, Druze, Assyrian ... and rights for all parts of the
harmonious Syrian people," he said, calling on Syrian soldiers to desert
and all sects to unite.His assembly was
recognised by the six Sunni Muslim-ruled kingdoms of the Gulf
Cooperation Council as the "legitimate representative of the Syrian
people". Washington
said it would back it "as it charts a course toward the end of Assad's
bloody rule and the start of the peaceful, just, democratic future".Shooting across the line that divides Syria from the
Israeli-occupied Golan was just the latest spillover of violence that
has alarmed neighbors including Turkey and Lebanon.Israeli military sources said Israel hit Syrian army
mobile artillery on Monday, the second straight day it fired back in
retaliation for what it said were stray mortars hitting Golan."We will not allow our borders to be breached or our
citizens to be fired at," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said. Israel
seized the Golan Heights from Syria in 1967. Although the two countries
have not fought over the territory since 1973, they are still
officially at war.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon called on Israel and Syria to halt firing.In the north, where fighting has sent thousands of Syrian refugees fleeing into Turkey, a Reuters correspondent saw Syrian jets and helicopters bomb Ras al-Ain, a border town taken by rebels last week. Bombs landed just meters from the frontier, sending up plumes of black smoke.Opposition groups said 12-16 people died in the air strikes. Turkey said it did not appear that the planes had entered its air space. It is discussing with NATO allies deploying Patriot air defense missiles on the border.
WRANGLING
Rebels and opposition politicians formed Alkhatib's new opposition coalition after days of wrangling in Qatar under intense U.S. and Qatari pressure.Backers hope the new body will give rebels inside Syria more clout and reassure religious and ethnic minorities, after a Syrian National Council (SNC) made up mainly of exiled Islamists proved ineffective as the main opposition voice.Western and Arab opponents of Assad want the coalition to attract support from minority sects who had been alienated from the opposition by the prominence of well-organized Sunnis from the Muslim Brotherhood. They also hope to rein in Islamist fighters, some of whom they believe are linked to al Qaeda."Alkhatib is a dynamic, progressive Islamist, popular in Damascus and the rest of Syria," said Mazen Adi, a prominent Syrian human rights defender who worked with Alkhatib before the revolt. "He is not a trigger-happy Jihadist, and he can play a role in containing the extremist groups."Alkhatib met Arab League chief Nabil Elaraby before the gathering of Arab foreign ministers in Cairo. European foreign ministers are due to join them on Tuesday."The most important thing that could come out from (Monday's) meeting is a form of recognition for the new Syrian council alliance that was established in Doha," said one Arab diplomat, speaking before the talks on condition of anonymity.A League official said any recognition of the opposition would probably avoid describing it as the sole legitimate representative of the Syrian people, because some Arab states were still reluctant to jettison Assad."There are still Arab states like Iraq and Lebanon that are not fully supportive of the Syrian revolt," the official said, also on condition he not be identified.Alkhatib, in his early 50s, was jailed several times for criticizing Assad before fleeing into exile this year. He has long promoted a liberal Islam tolerant of Syria's Christian, Alawite and other minorities, activists say.Hassan Hassan, a Syrian commentator based in the United Arab Emirates, said Alkhatib, as an independent cleric, would be a counterweight to growing influence of the Muslim Brotherhood."He's been active for a long time, campaigning against the idea of retribution and extremism. He talks about liberty and freedom for the masses. So he is perceived as a credible figure," Hassan said.Russia, which with China has foiled U.N. action on Syria and views Assad's opponents as pawns of the West, urged the new body to negotiate and to reject outside meddling.Asked if China recognised the new coalition, Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei called on all parties to initiate "a political transition process guided by the Syrian people".It remains to be seen whether the Coalition can succeed where the exiled SNC failed in overcoming mutual suspicion and in-fighting that weakened the opposition."This is a significant step forward, because they finally seem to be forging a more broadly-based platform that includes the SNC but without the SNC taking the lion's share," said Salman Shaikh, director of the Doha Brookings Center think tank.(Additional reporting by Andrew Hammond in Doha, Khaled Yacoub Oweis in Amman, Jonathon Burch in Ceylanpinar, Crispian Balmer in Jerusalem, Arshad Mohammed in Washington, Michael Martina in Beijing, Steve Gutterman in Moscow, Regan Doherty in Doha and Ayman Samir in Cairo; Writing by Peter Graff; Editing by Giles Elgood and Philippa Fletcher)

Look at how Syria neighbors are drawn into its war
By | Associated Press – 9 hrs ago NOV 13,12
Syria's
neighbors are increasingly being drawn into the country's civil war in a
variety of ways, whether militarily or due to an exodus of Syrians
fleeing the fighting at home. The spillover has raised concerns that the
nearly 20-month-long conflict between Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime and rebels trying to topple him could endanger the entire Middle East.Here is a look at how neighboring states are being affected by Syria's bloodletting:
TURKEY
Mortars and shells from the Syrian side regularly crash in Lebanon, causing several casualties, though Lebanese forces have never fired back. More dangerously, Syria's conflict has heightened deep rivalries and sectarian tensions in its smaller neighbor. Lebanon is divided between pro-Assad and anti-Assad factions, a legacy of the nearly three decades when Damascus all but ruled Lebanon, until 2005. Assad's ally, the Hezbollah militia is Lebanon's strongest political and military movement.On Oct. 19, a car bomb assassinated Lebanon's top intelligence chief, Wissam al-Hassan. Many in Lebanon blamed Syria and Hezbollah for the assassination.The northern Lebanese city of Tripoli has seen repeated clashes between Sunni Muslims and Alawites — the Shiite offshoot sect to which Assad belongs. Battles in the city in May and August killed at least 23 people total and wounded dozens.The kidnapping of Lebanese Shiites in Syria by rebels has also had repercussions in Lebanon. In May, Shiites blocked roads and burned tires in protest over the abductions, and later in the summer a powerful Shiite clan took 20 Syrians and a Turk in Lebanon captive in retaliation, all of whom have since been released.Lebanon also shelters about 100,000 Syrian refugees.
JORDAN
Jordan has taken the brunt of the refugee exodus from Syria, with some 265,000 Syrians fleeing across the border. Around 42,000 of them are housed at Zaatari, a dust-filled refugee camp, where riots have broken out several times by Syrians angry over lack of services.A growing number of stray Syrian missiles have fallen on Jordanian villages in the north in recent weeks, wounding several civilians.Late last month, a Jordanian border patrol officer was killed in clashes with eight militants trying to cross into Syria. Hours earlier, Jordan announced the arrest of 11 suspected al-Qaida-linked militants allegedly planning to attack shopping malls and Western diplomatic missions in Jordan.
IRAQ
Sunni and Shiite fighters from Iraq have made their way to Syria to join the civil war — the former on the side of the opposition, the latter siding with Assad's regime, according to Iraqi officials and Shiite militants. Sunni al-Qaida fighters are believed to be moving between Iraq and Syria, and some al-Qaida fighters in Iraq's western Anbar province have regrouped under the name of the Free Iraqi Army, a nod to the rebels' Free Syrian Army, Iraqi officials say.The United States has pressured Baghdad to stop Iranian planes suspected of ferrying arms to Syria from using Iraqi airspace. Iraq has so far acknowledged only forcing two planes to land for inspection and said it didn't find any weapons either time.About 49,000 Syrian refugees have temporarily resettled in Iraq, according to the U.N. refugee agency.
TURKEY
Turkey
has struck the Syrian military repeatedly in response to shelling and
mortar rounds from Syria since Oct. 3, when shells from Syria struck the
Turkish village of Akcakale, killing two women and three children. The
incident prompted NATO to convene an emergency meeting and Turkey
sent tanks and anti-aircraft batteries to the area. Turkey's military
has also scrambled fighter jets after Syrian helicopters flew close to
the border.There are about 120,000 Syrian refugees sheltering in
Turkish camps, with up to 70,000 more living in Turkey outside the
camps. Thousands more wait at the border, held up as Turkey struggles to
cope with the influx. Turkey also hosts much of the opposition and
rebel leadership.Turkey has
called for a buffer zone in Syria where the opposition and civilians
would be protected, a step that would likely require international
enforcement of a no-fly zone. Russia and China have blocked robust moves against the Syrian regime at the U.N. Security Council, and the United States has been reluctant to use its military in another Mideast conflict.
ISRAEL
Israel on Monday became the second country to strike the Syrian military,
after Turkey. An Israeli tank hit a Syrian armored vehicle after shells
from fighting in Syria exploded in Israel-controlled Golan Heights. A
day earlier, Israel fired a warning shot near a group of Syrian
fighters.Syrian shells have exploded inside the Golan several
times in recent weeks damaging apple orchards, sparking fires and
spreading panic but causing no injuries. In early November, three Syrian
tanks entered the Golan demilitarized zone, and in a separate incident
an Israeli patrol vehicle was peppered with bullets fired from Syria; no
one was hurt in the incident and the Israeli military deemed it
accidental.There is concern in Israel that Assad may try to spark a conflict with Israel, opening up the potential for attacks by Lebanon's
militant Hezbollah and Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Israel has also warned
that Syria's chemical weapons could be turned on the Jewish state.
Still, while no friend of Assad, Israel is also worried that if he is
toppled, Syria could fall into the hands of Islamic extremists or
descend into sectarian warfare.

Abbas says he’ll return to talks with Israel — right after UN recognition
PA president certain that November 29 vote will grant ‘Palestine’ non-member status
November 13, 2012, 12:26 am
0-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL
Palestinian Authority President
Mahmoud Abbas on Monday announced that he would be ready to resume talks
with Israel immediately after the UN General Assembly votes to upgrade
“Palestine” to nonmember status at the end of the month.Abbas predicted that the vote would pass, and
made clear that he would not heed US and Israeli pressure to cancel the
gambit. “We had agreed to go get the vote on November 29,” Abbas told
reporters at the Cairo-based Arab League. “The majority needed for the
vote will be on our side.”“If it is possible to start talks on the following day, then we are ready for that,” Abbas was quoted by Reuters as saying.The US, Israel and some European states have
urged Abbas not to seek the non-binding upgrade, with Israeli ministers
threatening unspecified unilateral actions if he goes ahead. Israel and
the US regard the move as an abandonment of the Palestinian Authority’s
commitment to negotiating a two-state solution bilaterally with Israel.Abbas last year attempted to win UN Security
Council approval for the establishment of “Palestine,” but could not
muster enough votes for what would have constituted biding approval, and
the US was ready to use its Security Council veto if needed. In the
General Assembly, by contrast, the Palestinians are assured a majority.
The upgrade would give “Palestine” upgraded status in various legal and
other UN institutions, and Palestinian officials have said they intend
to utilize that status to contest the legality of Israel’s policies in
the West Bank.Israeli-Palestinian talks broke down four
years ago, and the Palestinians refuse to renew them until Israel agrees
to halt all settlement construction, which Jerusalem has refused to do.Associated Press contributed to this report.
Abbas Confirms UN Bid for November 29
PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas announces that the PA will present its bid for non-state UN membership on November 29.By Elad Benari First Publish: 11/13/2012, 12:12 AM-INN
PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas-AFP/File
Abbas met earlier on Monday in Riyadh with Saudi King Abdullah, before travelling to Cairo for an Arab League meeting.Palestinian negotiator Mohammed Shtayeh told a news conference in Ramallah that the bid had been delayed at Washington's request until after last week's U.S. presidential election."Now there is no excuse for anybody to ask us not to go to the United Nations," Shtayeh said, according to AFP.
"President Abbas will attend the Assembly General session for the vote," his spokesman, Nabil Abu Rudeina, told AFP.Shtayeh played down threats by Israel to take punitive measures against the PA should it press ahead with its UN bid, saying he believed any response would be relatively limited."I think that most of these measures that have been declared will be empty threats," AFP quoted him as having said."Israel has a vested interest in maintaining the status of the Palestinian Authority as it stands today and I don't think that the Israelis are in a position to push this Palestinian Authority to a total collapse," said Shtayeh.He added the Arab League had promised the PA a financial safety net in the event of punitive Israeli sanctions.PLO negotiator Saeb Erekat told Voice of Palestine radio on Monday that PA officials were working to have the League pledge implemented."We are trying to activate the decision related to the Arab safety network, valued at $100 million monthly, in case Israel blocks our money and the U.S. closes the PLO office and halts aid," he said.Erekat said "Obama did not utter any threats but there are threats from the Congress, which has a draft bill, according to which it would demand closing the PLO office in Washington and cutting off aid" if the UN bid goes ahead.Channel 10 News reported last week that Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman has threatened that if the PA goes ahead with its unilateral statehood bid he “will work to ensure the PA will collapse.”Lieberman reportedly stressed that a unilateral statehood bid by the PA will "put an end to the chances to resume peace negotiations."Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz also threatened the PA on Saturday, saying that Israel would once again halt the transfer of the taxes it collects for the Palestinian Authority if it pursues its statehood bid.

Merkel wants to 'bring hope' to Portugal
12.11.12 @ 22:05 By Valentina Pop
BERLIN - German Chancellor Angela
Merkel has confronted the ire of exasperated Portuguese, but maintained
that "painful reforms" are the only way out of the crisis and that the
government in Lisbon is doing all the right things.On her second trip to a bailed out country over the span of a few
weeks, Merkel wanted to show her empathy with the Portuguese people
suffering under the austerity programme prescribed by international
lenders."I know the effects of the adjustment are being felt very intensely
here at the moment," Merkel said on Monday (12 November) during a joint
press conference with Prime Minister Pedro Coelho.
"This is also a visit to find out more about the situation here and perhaps to give a little hope," she said, adding that she came along with investors and ministers wiling to help create more jobs.Unemployment in Portugal stands at 16 percent and the economy is in its third year of recession.Germany had shown "solidarity" as it was the largest contributor to the €78 billion bailout for Portugal and "will continue to do so," Merkel said. But she insisted that the public deficit (5% of GDP) and debt (108% of GDP) had to be cut back and structural reforms implemented to make the country more competitive and spare the next generations from an ever-bigger growing bill.Of the protesters that portrayed her as a Nazi and chanted "Merkel raus" - similar to what happened during her visit to Greece last month - the German Chancellor said that in a democracy people have their right to express their opinion."I lived for 34 years in the former Democratic Republic of Germany and back then protests were not allowed. Protests belong to democracy. Perhaps we should visit each other more often in these times of crisis," Merkel said, in a veiled admission that her olive branch-reaching visits to bailed out countries should have happened earlier.As for the wage cuts and other "competitiveness-boosting" measures adopted by the centre-right government in Lisbon, Merkel said they were "courageous" and they would eventually come to bear fruit."But it takes a while. Germany too went through a painful adjustment, we had 5 million unemployed and the rate went even higher after labour market reforms were introduced," she said.For his part, the Portuguese Prime Minister said all the things Merkel wanted to hear - competitiveness is the key, people should understand that the austerity pill is needed to correct "mistakes of the past" and the German Chancellor is not to blame for the current hardships.
Even Greece, a fellow bailed out country, should strive not to disappoint lenders, he added. "Our partners in the eurozone are trying hard to keep Greece in, but it is also up to them to stay," he said.The troika, consisting of experts from the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund, recently started its review of Portugal's efforts needed to disburse the next bailout tranche.
But popular support for the bailout is fading away. Last time around before a troika report, the government had to scrap a controversial cut in what employers had to pay for their workers' social rights after mass protests and strikes over the move.
"This is also a visit to find out more about the situation here and perhaps to give a little hope," she said, adding that she came along with investors and ministers wiling to help create more jobs.Unemployment in Portugal stands at 16 percent and the economy is in its third year of recession.Germany had shown "solidarity" as it was the largest contributor to the €78 billion bailout for Portugal and "will continue to do so," Merkel said.

But popular support for the bailout is fading away. Last time around before a troika report, the government had to scrap a controversial cut in what employers had to pay for their workers' social rights after mass protests and strikes over the move.

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.(FROM QUAKES,NUKES ETC)
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.
