ZECHARIAH 12:1-5 King James Bible
1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.
JOEL 3:2 (WW3 OCCURS WHEN JERUSALEM IS DIVIDED)

ZECHARIAH 14:12-13
12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.(1/2-3 BILLION DIE IN WW3)
ZECHARIAH 14:1-4 King James Bible
1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

7 Of the increase of his (JESUS) government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David,( IN JERUSALEM) and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas Sunday promised someday the PA flag would
fly over “Jerusalem, eternal capital of the state of Palestine.”Thousands of people greeted Abbas rapturously upon his return from the United Nations, where the General Assembly granted the PLO, representing the PA, upgraded status as a nonmember observer state."Raise your heads high, because you are Palestinians!” Abbas told the joyous crowd, waving PA flags in the PA capital of Ramallah, located in Samaria."You have proof that you are stronger than the occupation, because you are Palestinians... stronger than the settlements, because you are Palestinians."We were threatened with punishment and sanctions from various
sides,” Abbas continued, in a reference to attempts by the United States
and Israel to dissuade him from proceeding with the application.
"And if we had listened to those threats we wouldn't have gone to the U.N."One day, a young Palestinian will raise the Palestinian flag over Jerusalem,” he vowed, “the eternal capital of the state of Palestine!”
(Reuters) - The Vatican hailed the United Nations' implicit
recognition of a Palestinian state on Thursday and called for an
internationally guaranteed special status for Jerusalem, something bound
to irritate Israel.
The 193-nation U.N. General Assembly overwhelmingly approved a resolution to upgrade the Palestinian Authority's observer status at the United Nations from "entity" to "non-member state," the same status as the Vatican."The Holy See welcomes with favor the decision of the General Assembly by which Palestine has become a Non-member Observer State of the United Nations," a statement said.But it also said it was a "propitious occasion" to recall a "common position" on Jerusalem expressed by the Vatican and the Palestine Liberation Organisation when the two sides signed a basic agreement on their bilateral relations in 2000.
Thursday's statement called for "an internationally guaranteed special statute" for Jerusalem, aimed at "safeguarding the freedom of religion and of conscience, the identity and sacred character of Jerusalem as a Holy City, (and) respect for, and freedom of, access to its holy places."The Vatican's re-stating of its position on Jerusalem, which has remained mostly dormant for years, was bound to irk Israel, which says there is no need for an international status for Jerusalem because those guarantees already exist.Israel declared Jerusalem its "united and eternal" capital in 1980 after annexing East Jerusalem in the Six Day War in 1967. World powers have not recognized the annexation.Palestinians want East Jerusalem to be the capital of an eventual state.Israel has always resisted the concept of any form of international mandate over Jerusalem.
It has been some time since the Vatican re-stated its position on the city so forcefully, and Thursday's statement was bound to be received negatively by Israel, a diplomat with direct knowledge of their relations said.Israel has always maintained that it already guarantees the city's special nature as sacred to the three great monotheistic religions - Christianity, Judaism and Islam.Thursday's statement called on both sides to seek an "effective commitment to building peace and stability, in justice and in the respect for legitimate aspirations, both of the Israelis and of the Palestinians."The Vatican and Israel established full diplomatic relations in 1994. Both Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict visited the Jewish state and Palestinian territories.(Reporting By Philip Pullella, Editing by Stacey Joyce)
ISRAEL-JERUSALEM TOGETHER FOREVER NEVER ENDING AFTER THE WORLD TRYS TO STEAL IT FROM ISRAEL.

Jerusalem - The historic Covenant of Jerusalem was presented to the Israeli government on Wednesday, May 19, 1993.It marked the conclusion of a year of celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Holy City's reunification, which reaffirmed the indelible bond between the Jewish people and its eternal spiritual and cultural capital.On May 31, 1992 a proclamation, under the signatures of Deputy Minister Avraham Verdiger, Mayor Teddy Kollek and Jewish Agency Chairman Simcha Dinitz, was sent to Jewish communities around the world, inviting them to share in this moment of history with Jerusalem.Ministry Director-General Yeshayahu Barzel said the year-long celebration had three goals. First, to strengthen the feeling that the entire Jewish people stand united with Israel on the indivisibility of Jerusalem; second, to impart to all Jews - especially those in the former Soviet Union who have been cut off from world Jewry for four generations - a feeling of unity; and third, to remind the non-Jewish world that the entire Jewish people are unified on the emotional and religious significance Jerusalem has for Jews everywhere.Although there has been considerable opposition from those who want Jerusalem to be an "international city," the covenant of Jerusalem was inspired by the covenant renewal ceremony convened by Ezra and Nehemiah for the Israelites who returned to their homeland from Babylon.According to David A. Gross's article in Israel Magazine, the Covenant has seven paragraphs, as Jerusalem has seven gates from Ezra's day. Even today, there are seven open gates to the Old City: Jaffa Gate, New Gate, Damascus Gate, Herod's Gate, Lion's Gate, Dung Gate and Zion Gate.There's a legend which says Jerusalem will have seven gates in the days to come and shine "from one end of the world to the other."Prepared by Justice Menahem Elon, Deputy President of the Supreme Court Vice, and with input from a wide range of writers, historians and archaeologists, the Covenant, in the form of a scroll written on parchment, was signed by President Chaim Herzog on May 31, 1992.Besides Herzog, the original scroll was also signed by a lengthy list of dignitaries and national leaders.Two parchment scrolls of the Covenant were sent to authorities in Israel from Metulla in the north to Eilat in the south and there were signing ceremonies throughout the world, similar to the main signing ceremony in Jerusalem."Christain Action for Israel" has obtained multi-coloured copies of THE JERUSALEM COVENANT as signed by the Prime Minister, President & Chief Rabbis of Israel.
REBUILT 3RD TEMPLE (THE EU DICTATORS TEMPLE)
ISAIAH 30:10-15
10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
12 Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:
13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.
14 And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters’ vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit.
15 For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.
16 But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
REVELATION 11:1-2
1 And there was given me a(MEASURING) reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
2 But the court which is without the temple leave out,(TO THE WORLD NATIONS) and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.(JERUSALEM DIVIDED BUT THE 3RD TEMPLE ALLOWED TO BE REBUILT)
DANIEL 9:27

REBUILT 4TH TEMPLE (THE TRUE MESSIAHS TEMPLE)
ZECHARIAH 6:12-13
12 And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD:
13 Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
ISAIAH 60:9-10
9 Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee.
10 And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee.
ISAIAH 2:1-5
1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
5 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.
MARK 11:9-10,15-17
9 And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:
10 Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
15 And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;
16 And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.
17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.
ISAIAH 51:3-4
3 For the LORD shall comfort Zion:(JERUSALEM) he will comfort all her waste places;(FROM NUCLEAR WAR) and he will make her wilderness like Eden,(I BELIEVE THE EZEKIEL 40-48,(4TH) TEMPLE WILL BE BUILT 25 MILES FROM THE CURRENT TEMPLE MOUNT AFTER JESUS RULE FOR THE 1,000 YRS FROM JERUSALEM) and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.(PRAISE TO JESUS IN THE DESERT-COULD BE THE NEW JERUSALEM-4TH TEMPLE BUILT 25 MILES INTO THE DESERT FROM THE CURRENT TEMPLE MOUNT.SINCE EZEKIELS TEMPLE IS WAY TO BIG FOR THE CURRENT TEMPLE MOUNT)
4 Hearken unto me, my people;(ISRAEL) and give ear unto me, O my nation:(ISRAEL) for a law shall proceed from me,(JESUS IN JERUSALEM) and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.(ISRAEL AND THE WORLD)
Al Aqsa officials warn that the “new Likud” is planning to build a “false” Third Holy Temple and divide the Muslim compound.Muslim paranoia of Jews on the Temple Mount had reached panic stages
even before this week’s Likud primaries that placed Jewish Leadership
faction leader Moshe Feiglin in a ranking that assures his election to
the Knesset in January.Arab world media constantly
report of Jewish “invasions” of the Temple Mount every time Jews try to
ascend the holy site. Israeli authorities enforce the Muslim Waqf policy
that forbids Jews to pray there or carry prayer books or other holy
articles with them.The Palestinian Authority and the Islamic Movement’s branch in the
Galilee frequently claim that Israel is digging underneath the Temple
Mount to cause its collapse.Now, the Al Aqsa Foundation has pointed to the popular support for
Feiglin and other strong nationalists of the Likud as proof that Al Aqsa
Mosque on the Temple Mount will be “contaminated” by Jews.Worst of all, the Foundation claims that the election results show that Prime Minister Netanyahu soon will announce plans for building
the Third Temple, which it describes as “false," in line with
increasingly popular Muslim ideology that the First and Second Temples
never existed.All of the “evidence” is “undeniable proof that the Al Aqsa mosque is
in danger and that the Muslim world must shoulder the responsibility to
save it,” according to Al Aqsa.Feiglin is known for his desire to pray on the Temple Mount, and after the Pillar of Defense counter terrorist operation, he wrote,
“We must expel the Muslim Waqf from the Temple Mount and restore
exclusive Israeli sovereignty over the Mount – Judaism's most holy site.
We must encourage Jews to ascend the Temple Mount after the proper
halakhic preparations and to actualize their sovereignty over the
beating heart of the Jewish Nation.”

The following YouTube video, prepared by the Independent Media
Review and Analysis (IMRA), presents some incidents of incitement in
the Palestinian Authority. These incident were shown as a Power Point
presentation to Israeli government ministers during a briefing on Sunday.The briefing was presented by Strategic Affairs Ministry
Director-General Yossi Kuperwasser, the coordinator of the professional
team that is monitoring the issue and which is constantly updating the "Culture of Peace and Incitement Index in the Palestinian Authority."In the period under review there was a negative record in expressions
of hatred and incitement against Israel as seen in remarks by senior
Palestinian Authority officials, on official websites, in the media and
in the Palestinian Authority education system. Examples were shown of
the use of Hitler's ideas, the adoration of suicide terrorists,
anti-Semitic caricatures, the complete ignoring of Israel on official maps, calls for a return to Jaffa and Haifa, etc.The messages, Kuperwasser told cabinet members, “are being
distributed by senior Palestinian officials, on the PA's official web
sites, in the media and in the educational system.” The anti-Israel incitement has increased significantly in the past three years, he said.“The incitement is one of the main issues holding back the
possibility of peace,” Kuperwasser said. “PA chief Mahmoud Abbas has no
intention of holding back these messages, and instead has chosen to
enter into a process designed to destroy the Jewish state,” he added.Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said at the briefing, "This is
additional proof that this is not a dispute over land but a denial of
the existence of the State of Israel. Their unwillingness to accept a
Jewish state in any borders whatsoever is the root of the conflict. When
there is a map that shows Palestine over the entire area of Israel,
there is a conflict here over the very existence of the State of Israel
in all its territory. The Palestinian Authority is unwilling to move
towards accepting the existence of the State of Israel. It is poisoning
the Palestinian public.“The Palestinians want to use the diplomatic process in order to
bring about the end of the State of Israel,” he said. “Going to the UN
is part of this. The Palestinian Authority is waging a struggle over the
very existence of the State of Israel. While we are prepared to
recognize them, they deny our existence. We would have long since
reached a solution if they had wanted it.”Prime Minister Netanyahu directed that the matter be brought to the
attention of the countries that voted in favor of the PA’s unilateral
move at the UN, which contravenes all the agreements.
Strategic Affairs Minister Moshe Yaalon said, "As long as the Palestinian Authority educates its people toward hatred, and non-recognition, of Israel, there will not be peace. They are sending deep messages and this education is being absorbed by all sections of the populace, especially the younger generation."

The Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA) recently held its General Assembly in Baltimore.
One of the initiatives of the JFNA is the Israel Action Network (IAN), a strategic initiative in partnership with the Jewish Council for Public Affairs to counter the assault on Israel’s legitimacy.Israel today faces an intensive and increasingly sophisticated assault on its right to exist as a sovereign democratic Jewish state. The IAN was created to educate, organize and mobilize the organized North American Jewish community to develop strategic approaches to countering these assaults and develop innovative efforts to change the conversation about Israel and achieving peace and security for two states for two peoples. IAN’s work is grounded in building strong relationships with people of faith, human rights advocates, political and civic leaders, and friends and neighbors in our communities.

IAN provides national leadership to all the Jewish federations around the country, explained Geri Palast, managing director of IAN.These federations reach out to what she described as “persuadable communities” – communities that may have issues and concerns about Israel. The Jewish federations attempt to change the discourse with these persuadable communities.The issues range from dealing with the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement to explaining that Iran’s nuclear program is a threat not just to Israel but to the entire world.“We have a Washington advocacy office that works closely with whatever administration is in power and we’ll continue to work closely going forward over issues of concern to Israel, especially tighter Iran sanctions, but also always working to safeguard and protect the historic and unbreakable bonds between the United States and Israel,” said Joe Berkovsky, managing director of communications for JFNA.
“We believe that those bonds are deep, timeless and unshakable and are bigger than anyone, politician or administration, and we will work to safeguard and strengthen those bonds across many areas,” he added.

2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.

Vatican Hails UN Palestinian State Vote, Calls For Special Status For Jerusalem
By By Philip Pullella
Posted: 11/29/2012 9:42 pm EST Updated: 11/29/2012 9:51 pm EST
The 193-nation U.N. General Assembly overwhelmingly approved a resolution to upgrade the Palestinian Authority's observer status at the United Nations from "entity" to "non-member state," the same status as the Vatican."The Holy See welcomes with favor the decision of the General Assembly by which Palestine has become a Non-member Observer State of the United Nations," a statement said.But it also said it was a "propitious occasion" to recall a "common position" on Jerusalem expressed by the Vatican and the Palestine Liberation Organisation when the two sides signed a basic agreement on their bilateral relations in 2000.
Thursday's statement called for "an internationally guaranteed special statute" for Jerusalem, aimed at "safeguarding the freedom of religion and of conscience, the identity and sacred character of Jerusalem as a Holy City, (and) respect for, and freedom of, access to its holy places."The Vatican's re-stating of its position on Jerusalem, which has remained mostly dormant for years, was bound to irk Israel, which says there is no need for an international status for Jerusalem because those guarantees already exist.Israel declared Jerusalem its "united and eternal" capital in 1980 after annexing East Jerusalem in the Six Day War in 1967. World powers have not recognized the annexation.Palestinians want East Jerusalem to be the capital of an eventual state.Israel has always resisted the concept of any form of international mandate over Jerusalem.
It has been some time since the Vatican re-stated its position on the city so forcefully, and Thursday's statement was bound to be received negatively by Israel, a diplomat with direct knowledge of their relations said.Israel has always maintained that it already guarantees the city's special nature as sacred to the three great monotheistic religions - Christianity, Judaism and Islam.Thursday's statement called on both sides to seek an "effective commitment to building peace and stability, in justice and in the respect for legitimate aspirations, both of the Israelis and of the Palestinians."The Vatican and Israel established full diplomatic relations in 1994. Both Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict visited the Jewish state and Palestinian territories.(Reporting By Philip Pullella, Editing by Stacey Joyce)

Covenant of Jerusalem - Key to 25th Anniversary
by Kaye Corbett
Jerusalem - The historic Covenant of Jerusalem was presented to the Israeli government on Wednesday, May 19, 1993.It marked the conclusion of a year of celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Holy City's reunification, which reaffirmed the indelible bond between the Jewish people and its eternal spiritual and cultural capital.On May 31, 1992 a proclamation, under the signatures of Deputy Minister Avraham Verdiger, Mayor Teddy Kollek and Jewish Agency Chairman Simcha Dinitz, was sent to Jewish communities around the world, inviting them to share in this moment of history with Jerusalem.Ministry Director-General Yeshayahu Barzel said the year-long celebration had three goals. First, to strengthen the feeling that the entire Jewish people stand united with Israel on the indivisibility of Jerusalem; second, to impart to all Jews - especially those in the former Soviet Union who have been cut off from world Jewry for four generations - a feeling of unity; and third, to remind the non-Jewish world that the entire Jewish people are unified on the emotional and religious significance Jerusalem has for Jews everywhere.Although there has been considerable opposition from those who want Jerusalem to be an "international city," the covenant of Jerusalem was inspired by the covenant renewal ceremony convened by Ezra and Nehemiah for the Israelites who returned to their homeland from Babylon.According to David A. Gross's article in Israel Magazine, the Covenant has seven paragraphs, as Jerusalem has seven gates from Ezra's day. Even today, there are seven open gates to the Old City: Jaffa Gate, New Gate, Damascus Gate, Herod's Gate, Lion's Gate, Dung Gate and Zion Gate.There's a legend which says Jerusalem will have seven gates in the days to come and shine "from one end of the world to the other."Prepared by Justice Menahem Elon, Deputy President of the Supreme Court Vice, and with input from a wide range of writers, historians and archaeologists, the Covenant, in the form of a scroll written on parchment, was signed by President Chaim Herzog on May 31, 1992.Besides Herzog, the original scroll was also signed by a lengthy list of dignitaries and national leaders.Two parchment scrolls of the Covenant were sent to authorities in Israel from Metulla in the north to Eilat in the south and there were signing ceremonies throughout the world, similar to the main signing ceremony in Jerusalem."Christain Action for Israel" has obtained multi-coloured copies of THE JERUSALEM COVENANT as signed by the Prime Minister, President & Chief Rabbis of Israel.
The Jerusalem Covenant
As of this day, Jerusalem Day, the twenty-eight day of the month of Iyar in the year five thousand seven hundred fifty-two; one thousand nine hundred and twenty-two years after the destruction of the Second Temple; forty-four years since the founding of the State of Israel; twenty-five years since the Six Day War during which the Israel Defense Forces, in defense of our very existence, broke through the walls of the city and restored the Temple Mount and the unity of Jerusalem; twelve years since the Knesset of Israel reestablished the 'Jerusalem, unified and whole, is the Capital of Israel'; the State of Israel is the State of the 'Jewish People' and the Capital of Israel is the Capital of the People of Israel. We have gathered together in Zion, national leaders and heads, of our communities everywhere, to enter into a covenant with Jersualem, as was done by the leaders of our nation and all the people of Israel upon Israel's return to its Land from the "Babylonian exile; and the people and their leaders will dwell in Jerusalem, the Holy City. Once again, 'our feet stand within your gates, O Jerusalem - Jerusalem built as a city joined together' which 'unites the people of Israel to one another', and 'links heavenly Jerusalem with earthly Jerusalem.'
We have returned to the place that the Lord vowed to bestow upon the descendants of Abraham, Father of our Nation; to the City of David, King of Israel; where Solomon, son of David, built a Holy Temple; a Capital City which became the Mother of all Israel; a metropolis for justice and righteousness and for the wisdom and insights of the ancient world; where a Second Temple was erected in the days of Ezra and Nehemiah. In this city the prophets of the Lord prophesied; in the City the Sages taught Torah; in this City the Sanhedrin convened in session in its stone chamber. 'For there were the seats of Justice, the Throne of the House of David', 'for out of Zion shall go forth Torah, and the Word of the Lord from Jerusalem.'
Today, as of old, we hold fast to the truth of the words of the Prophets of Israel, that all the inhabitants of the world shall enter within the gates of Jerusalem: 'And it shall come to pass at the end of days, the mountain of the House of the Lord will be well established at the peak of the mountains and will tower above the hills, and all the nation shall stream towards it.' Each and every nation will live in it by its own faith: 'For all the nation will go forward, each with its own Divine Name; we shall go in the name of the Lord our God forever and ever.' And in this spirit the Knesset of the State of Israel has enacted a law: The places holy to the peoples of all religions shall be protected from any desecration and from any restriction of free access to them.
Jerusalem - peace and tranquility shall reign in the city: 'Pray for the peace of Jerusalem; may those who love you be tranquil. May there by peace within your walls, and tranquility within your palaces.' Out of Jerusalem, a message of peace went forth and shall yet go forth again to all the inhabitants of the earth: 'And they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks; nation will not lift up sword against nation, nor shall they learn war any more.' Our sages, peace be upon them, said. In the future, The Holy One, the Blessed, will comfort Jerusalem only with peace.
From this place, we once again take this vow: "If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, may my right hand lose its strength; may my tongue cleave to my palate if I do not remember you, if I do not raise up Jerusalem at the very height of my rejoicing.' And with all these understandings, we enter into this Covenant and write: We shall bind you to us forever; we shall bind you to us with faithfulness, with righteousness and justice, with steadfast love and compassion. We love you, O Jerusalem, with eternal love, with unbounded love, under siege and when liberated from the yoke of oppressors. We have been martyred for you; we have yearned for you, we have clung to you. Our faithfulness to you we shall bequeath to our children after us. Forevermore our home shall be within you.
Vatican To Force Thousands To Take ID Cards With RFID Microchip Tracking
Dec 3rd
Vatican clergy and employees will be issued with an identity card
complete with a microchip-tracking device in sweeping new security
measures designed to prevent a repeat of the Vatileaks scandal.
Much tighter controls have already been introduced for anyone seeking
access or photocopies of the Holy See’s archives, dossiers and
documents.The Papal Apartments, which include the living quarters of Pope
Benedict XVI and the offices of his personal staff inside the Apostolic
Palace, are totally off limits to anyone without strict authorisation.Slovenian priest, Mitja Leskovar, an anti-espionage expert nicknamed
‘Monsignor 007′, is in charge of implementing the new security
procedures with the identity cards expected to be introduced from
January 1.Leskovar, who grew up in the former Yugoslavia under Communism, is
responsible for the transmission of confidential documents between the
Vatican and its papal nuncios or diplomats inside the Secretariat of
State and also supervises all requests for document photocopying within
the secretariat.Thousands of clerical and lay staff working inside the
walls of the Vatican from the Apostolic Palace to the Secretariat of
State will be affected by the tighter scrutiny that will also enable
their superiors to monitor when they clock in and out.The security shake-up was revealed after Claudio Sciarpelletti, the
computer expert convicted of aiding and abetting the pope’s former
butler Paolo Gabriele in the Vatileaks scandal, dropped his appeal on
Saturday.The move came as the three judges who assessed the case raised doubts
about Sciarpelletti’s credibility and the friendship between the two
men.Sciarpelletti was convicted in November of aiding and abetting
Gabriele, who himself was convicted of stealing the pontiff’s private
documents and leaking them to an Italian journalist in an embarrassing
security breach that rocked the Vatican earlier this year.According to a report in the Italian daily La Stampa, Gabriele’s
replacement – Sandro Mariotti known as ‘Sandrone’– is prohibited from
carrying out any secretarial tasks or even sharing an office with the
pope’s personal secretaries, Monsignor Georg Gaenswein and Monsignor
Alfred Xuereb, as Gabriele did in the past.Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi told The Daily Telegraph
these kind of security measures had been talked about within the Vatican
for years but declined to comment on any details and said he did not
know the precise timing of the measures. source – Telegraph UK

Overlooking the Temple Mount-Flash 90
Palestinian president returns triumphantly from UN
By | Associated Press – 9 mins ago DEC 3,12
RAMALLAH, West Bank
(AP) — The Palestinian president returned triumphantly to the West Bank
on Sunday, receiving a boisterous welcome from thousands of cheering
supporters at a rally celebrating his people's new acceptance to the
United Nations.An Israeli decision to cut off a cash transfer to the financially troubled Palestinian Authority,
following an earlier decision to build thousands of new homes in Jewish
settlements, failed to put a damper on the celebrations.But Palestinian officials
acknowledged they were undecided on what to do with their newfound
status, and were waiting for upcoming Israeli elections and new ideas
from President Barack Obama before deciding how to proceed.Outside the headquarters of President Mahmoud Abbas
in the West Bank city of Ramallah, some 5,000 people thronged a square,
hoisted Palestinian flags and cheered their leader's return from New
York. Large posters of the Palestinian leader, whose popularity had
plummeted in recent months, adorned nearby buildings."We now have a state," Abbas said to wild applause. "The world has said loudly, 'Yes to the state of Palestine.'"The United Nations General Assembly last week overwhelmingly endorsed an independent Palestinian state in the West Bank, east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip, territories Israel captured in the 1967 war.The move to upgrade the Palestinians to a nonmember observer state does not change much on the ground, but it carries deep potential significance.The
vote amounted to an international endorsement of the Palestinian
position on future border arrangements with Israel and an overwhelming
condemnation of Israeli settlements in the areas claimed by the
Palestinians.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
rejects a return to Israel's 1967 lines. Israel remains in control in
parts of the West Bank and considers east Jerusalem, the Palestinians'
hoped-for capital, an integral part of its capital.Israel also
continues to restrict access to Gaza. Israel withdrew seven years ago
from the coastal strip, and it is now ruled by Hamas Islamic militants
who regularly fire rockets at Israel.Israel, backed by the U.S.,
campaigned strongly against the statehood measure, accusing the
Palestinians of trying to bypass direct peace negotiations, which it
said were the only viable path to a Palestinian state.The Israeli
lobbying efforts failed miserably. Just eight other countries voted
with Israel, and even its closest allies in Europe, including Germany,
Italy, France and Britain, either abstained or voted with the
Palestinians.Israel responded strongly and swiftly. The following
day, it said it would start drawing up plans to build thousands of
settlement homes, including the first-ever development on a crucial
corridor east of Jerusalem.Although the project is likely years away, if it happens at all, the announcement struck a defiant tone.Building
in the area, known as E1, would sever the link between the West Bank
and east Jerusalem, the sector of the holy city the Palestinians claim
for a future capital, and cut off the northern part of the West Bank
form its southern flank. The Palestinians claim such a scenario would
essentially kill any hope for the creation of a viable state.U.N.
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon expressed "grave concern" at the Israeli
announcements, saying the new building and reported planning in the E1
area "would represent any almost fatal blow to remaining chances for
securing a two-state solution," U.N. spokesman Martin Nesirky said.
"In the interests of peace, any plans for E1 must be rescinded," he said."The secretary-general repeats his call on all concerned to resume negotiations and intensify efforts towards a comprehensive, just and lasting peace and urges the parties to refrain from provocative actions," Nesirky said.The U.S., Britain, France and other European states all denounced the plan.On Sunday, the European Union's foreign policy chief, Catherine Ashton, expressed concern that such settlement expansion "may represent a strategic step undermining the prospects of a contiguous and viable Palestine with Jerusalem as the share capital of both it and Israel. She urged Israel to show its commitment to the early renewal of peace talks but not going ahead with the settlement plan."The European Union has repeatedly stated that all settlement construction is illegal under international law and constitutes an obstacle to peace," Ashton said in a statement.On Sunday, the Israeli government delivered another blow, saying it would withhold more than $100 million in funds it transfers to the Palestinians each month.Instead, it said the money — taxes and customs duties that Israel collects on behalf of the Palestinians — would be used to pay off its debts to Israeli companies, including $200 million owed to the state-run Israel Electric Corp., government officials said.The monthly transfers are crucial for the cash-strapped Palestinian Authority to pay salaries to its tens of thousands of civil servants and security forces. Israel has taken similar measures in the past before eventually releasing the money.At the weekly meeting of his Cabinet, Netanyahu said the Palestinian statehood campaign was a "gross violation" of past agreements calling for disputes to be resolved through negotiations."Accordingly, the government of Israel rejects the U.N General Assembly decision," he told his Cabinet on Sunday. He also pledged to continue building settlements."Today we are building, and we will continue to build in Jerusalem and in all areas that appear on Israel's map of strategic interests."Half a million settlers live in the West Bank and east Jerusalem. The ongoing growth of the settlements is at the heart of the current impasse in peace efforts.
The Palestinians view continued settlement expansion as a show of bad faith and refuse to return to negotiations unless construction is frozen.Netanyahu has claimed a brief settlement slowdown in 2010 failed to jump-start negotiations, and he has refused calls for a new construction freeze.The Palestinians have signaled that they may use their upgraded status to join the International Criminal Court and pursue war crimes charges against Israel. But officials say any decision to seek membership in the ICC is likely months away.Palestinian officials said little was expected to change until Israel holds parliamentary elections on Jan. 22. Public opinion polls suggest Netanyahu is likely to win re-election at the head of a hardline coalition.
Palestinian officials said they were hopeful that Obama would present a comprehensive peace plan after the Israeli vote."If there is a meaningful peace process, we will join. If not, then we are taking the Palestinian cause to the international community," said Husam Zomlot, a spokesman for Abbas.The new Israeli settlement construction plans remain far from certain and may have been announced by Netanyahu to impress voters ahead of the election.New figures from Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics show that Netanyahu has actually slowed settlement construction over the past year. The latest figures found that Israel began construction on 653 new settlement homes in the first nine months of 2012, down 26 percent from 886 housing starts during the same period a year earlier.Israel insists that the Palestinians are responsible for the deadlock, accusing them of refusing to recognize Israel as the Jewish homeland and the Palestinian media of glorifying violence and promoting anti-Semitic caricatures.Netanyahu said Abbas' speech at the U.N., in which he accused Israel of "ethnic cleansing" and omitted any reference of the Jewish connection to the holy land, was filled with incitement and hate."This is additional proof that this is not a dispute over land but a denial of the existence of the State of Israel," he said. "As long as the Palestinian Authority educates the younger generation to hate, how is it at all possible to talk about peace?"___Heller reported from Jerusalem. Mohammed Daraghmeh contributed to this report from Gaza City, Gaza Strip.

Israel Action Network Counters Assault on Israel's Legitimacy
The Israel Action Network, an initiative of the JFNA, develops strategies to counter the assaults on Israel.

One of the initiatives of the JFNA is the Israel Action Network (IAN), a strategic initiative in partnership with the Jewish Council for Public Affairs to counter the assault on Israel’s legitimacy.Israel today faces an intensive and increasingly sophisticated assault on its right to exist as a sovereign democratic Jewish state. The IAN was created to educate, organize and mobilize the organized North American Jewish community to develop strategic approaches to countering these assaults and develop innovative efforts to change the conversation about Israel and achieving peace and security for two states for two peoples. IAN’s work is grounded in building strong relationships with people of faith, human rights advocates, political and civic leaders, and friends and neighbors in our communities. The Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA) recently held its General Assembly in Baltimore.One of the initiatives of the JFNA is the Israel Action Network (IAN), a strategic initiative in partnership with the Jewish Council for Public Affairs to counter the assault on Israel’s legitimacy.Israel today faces an intensive and increasingly sophisticated assault on its right to exist as a sovereign democratic Jewish state.

IAN’s work is grounded in building strong relationships with people of faith, human rights advocates, political and civic leaders, and friends and neighbors in our communities.
IAN provides national leadership to all the Jewish federations around the country, explained Geri Palast, managing director of IAN.These federations reach out to what she described as “persuadable communities” – communities that may have issues and concerns about Israel. The Jewish federations attempt to change the discourse with these persuadable communities.The issues range from dealing with the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement to explaining that Iran’s nuclear program is a threat not just to Israel but to the entire world.“We have a Washington advocacy office that works closely with whatever administration is in power and we’ll continue to work closely going forward over issues of concern to Israel, especially tighter Iran sanctions, but also always working to safeguard and protect the historic and unbreakable bonds between the United States and Israel,” said Joe Berkovsky, managing director of communications for JFNA.
“We believe that those bonds are deep, timeless and unshakable and are bigger than anyone, politician or administration, and we will work to safeguard and strengthen those bonds across many areas,” he added.

Eurozone bailout funds downgraded over France
01.12.12 @ 15:59 By Valentina Pop
BERLIN - Moody's ratings agency on
Friday (30 November) downgraded the eurozone's two bailout funds
following a recent similar move on France, the second-largest
contributor to the rescue funds.The European Stability Mechanism, a permanent €500 billion-strong
fund established on 9 October, was downgraded to Aa1 - the second-best
available rating. Its predecessor - the European Financial Stability
Facility due to be phased out next year - was downgraded to a
"provisional" Aa1. Further downgrades may follow, Moody's said.Both funds have France as their second-largest contributor and
Moody's on 18 November decided to strip the French state of its top
rating due to its sluggish economy and worsening competitiveness
compared to Germany."The credit risks and ratings of the ESM and the EFSF are closely
aligned to those of its strongest supporters," Moody's said. France's
downgrade reflects a "marginal diminution in the certainty" Paris will
repay its debt and honour its commitment to pay its share to the ESM,
Moody's explained.The ratings agency kept Germany's top rating unchanged. Germany is
the largest contributor to the two bailout funds, which are being used
for raising money on the markets to fund the bailout programmes for
Greece, Ireland, Portugal and Spain."Moody's rating decision is difficult to understand," Klaus Regling who chairs both funds said in a statement."We disagree with the rating agency's approach which does not
sufficiently acknowledge ESM's exceptionally strong institutional
framework, political commitment and capital structure," he added.However, given that Aa1 is the second-best available rating, the
downgrade will not "inhibit ESM or EFSF in any way" to issue bonds and
borrow money, Regling said.European Central Bank chief Mario Draghi said during a conference in
Paris on Friday that the downgrade will have little effect but that it
was a "signal to be taken seriously."
But the support of the Marshall Islands,
Micronesia, Nauru and Palau did not come out of nowhere, said Michael
Ronen, Israel’s non-resident ambassador to 13 Pacific Islands, including
the Marshall Islands and Micronesia, adding that he spent a lot of time
lobbying before Thursday’s vote.“We weren’t surprised that these four
countries voted against a Palestinian state,” Ronen told Yedioth
Ahronoth. “We’ve been working there in an orderly and continuous fashion
for 30 years. We don’t tell them that we’re sending them an Israeli
doctor in exchange for their vote. Other countries discover the Pacific
only when they need it. A nation suddenly needs votes at the UN and
instantly embraces these countries, offering them assistance, only to
forget about them afterwards. We don’t work like that.”Israel doesn’t buy votes, but it does send aid
to the Pacific. Medical and agricultural experts have traveled to the
South Pacific from Israel, and in the 1990s an Israeli coach trained a
Micronesian national team. In addition, the leaders of these tiny island
nations receive royal welcomes whenever they come to Israel, which adds
to the warm feelings they feel toward the Jewish state.“Whenever somebody likes us, it feels strange
to us, almost like it’s against the laws of nature. But I don’t agree
with that,” Ronen opined. “Their knowledge of us is based on the Bible
and on Christianity… They really value the Jewish people and the State
of Israel, what we’ve achieved and what we represent.”

25 For I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD.
EZEKIEL 5:17
17 So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee. I the LORD have spoken it.
EZEKIEL 38:1-12
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog,(RULER) the land of Magog,(RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW)and Tubal,(TOBOLSK) and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog,(LEADER OF RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW) and Tubal:TOBOLSK)
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws,(GOD FORCES THE RUSSIA-MUSLIMS TO MARCH) and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5 Persia,(IRAN,IRAQ) Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6 Gomer,(GERMANY) and all his bands; the house of Togarmah (TURKEY)of the north quarters, and all his bands:(SUDAN,AFRICA) and many people with thee.
7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.(RUSSIA-EGYPT AND MUSLIMS)
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
EZEKIEL 39:1-8,11-18
1 Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog,(LEADER OF RUSSIA) and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech (MOSCOW) and Tubal: (TUBOLSK)
2 And I will turn thee back,(RUSSIA-ARAB MUSLIM ISRAEL HATERS) and leave but the sixth part of thee,(5/6TH OR 300 MILLION DEAD I BELIEVE) and will cause thee to come up from the north parts,(RUSSIA) and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands,( ARABS) and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
6 And I will send a fire on Magog,(NUCLEAR BOMB) and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
7 So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
8 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken.
11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog (RUSSIA/ARAB/MUSLIMS) a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers (EAST OF THE DEAD SEA IN JORDAN VALLEY) on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog (RUSSIAN) and all his multitude:(ARAB/MUSLIM HORDE) and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.(BURIEL SITE OF THE 300 MILLION,RUSSIAN/ARAB/MUSLIMS)
12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.(OF ISRAEL)
13 Yea, all the people of the land (OF ISRAEL) shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I (GOD-JESUS) shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD.
14 And they shall sever out men of continual employment,(NUCLEAR BOMB EXPERTS) passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.
15 And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man’s bone, then shall he set up a sign by it,(WON'T TOUCH IT) till the buriers have buried it (PROPERLY) in the valley of Hamongog.(RUSSIA/ARAB/MUSLIMS NEW BURIEL SITE)
16 And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.(OF THE ISRAEL-GOD HATERS)

18 Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
19 And ye (MIGRATING BIRDS IN ISRAEL) shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.(RUSSIAN/ARAB/MUSLIM ISRAEL HATERS)
20 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD.
21 And I (GOD-JESUS) will set my glory among the heathen,(WORLD NATIONS) and all the heathen (WORLD NATIONS) shall see my judgment that I have executed,(AGAINST ISRAELS ENEMIES) and my (GODS) hand that I have laid upon them.(ISRAELS HATER ENEMIES)

EU law for ratings agencies
Meanwhile, a deal by EU countries and the European Parliament sealed earlier this week seeks to limit the influence of big credit rating agencies.Moody's, Standard&Poor's and Fitch are the world's three largest agencies and their assessments about the likelihood of whether countries and companies will pay back their debt are central their borrowing rates. If the rating is in the so-called junk category, certain banks and pension funds cannot buy them or accept them as guarantees for other banks' loans."Credit rating agencies will have to be more transparent when rating sovereign states, respect timing rules on sovereign ratings and justify the timing of publication of unsolicited ratings of sovereign debt," financial services commissioner Michel Barnier said in a statement."They will have to follow stricter rules which will make them more accountable for mistakes in case of negligence or intent."But some MEPs remain sceptical about how much this EU bill will do in changing agencies' behaviour."This reform is no big breakthrough in changing the rating agency market," said German Green MEP Sven Giegold, who was involved in the negotiations.Clinton raps Palestinians, Israelis for letting peace slip away
Palestinians have missed multiple opportunities, but Israelis should show more empathy, says outgoing secretary of state
December 3, 2012, 2:15 am
5-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL
WASHINGTON (JTA) — The
Palestinians have missed multiple opportunities for peacemaking, but the
Israelis have shown a lack of empathy, US Secretary of State Hillary
Rodham Clinton said.“I think Israelis have good grounds to be
suspicious” of Palestinians as a result of the stalled peace process,
Clinton said last Friday at an event held in her honor in Washington by
the Saban Forum, an annual assembly of US and Israeli leaders.“The Palestinians could have had a state as
old as I am if they had made the right decision in 1947,” she said.
“They could have had a state if they had worked with my husband and
then-Prime Minister Barak at Camp David. They could have had a state if
they’d worked with Prime Minister Olmert and Foreign Minister Livni.”Clinton was referring to negotiations in 2000
between Ehud Barak and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat facilitated by
President Bill Clinton, and then the 2007-08 negotiations between Ehud
Olmert, Tzipi Livni and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas
under the auspices of President George W. Bush.Clinton blasted those who claim Israel was principally to blame for the collapse of the 2000 talks.“I don’t care how many people try to revise that history, the fact is [Arafat] said no at Camp David,” she said.And while Clinton said she was not fully
satisfied with the 2010 partial settlement freeze instituted by Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, she said it also was a missed
opportunity for Abbas.“It wasn’t perfect, it didn’t cover East
Jerusalem, but it covered much of the contested area in the West Bank,”
she said. “But the fact was it was a 10-month settlement freeze. And
[Netanyahu] was good to his word. And we couldn’t get the Palestinians
into the conversation until the 10th month.”Clinton suggested that the resultant Israeli
suspicion and “the lack of generosity, the lack of empathy” was
inhibiting peace moves.
“There is more that the Israelis need to do to
really demonstrate that they do understand the pain of an oppressed
people in their minds, and they want to figure out, within the bounds of
security and a Jewish democratic state, what can be accomplished,” she
said.Clinton, who plans to step down early next year, said an Obama administration priority continued to be reviving peace talks.She said ensuring Israel’s security by keeping
Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and assisting Israel in ending
missile fire over its borders was a necessary component, but urged
Israelis to cultivate, not sideline, moderates like Abbas.“At a time when violence commands attention,
America and Israel must do better at demonstrating not just the costs of
extremism but the benefits of cooperation and coexistence,” she said.The Saban Forum is convened by the Saban
Center for Middle East Policy, a subsidiary of the Brookings Institution
largely funded by Haim Saban, the entertainment mogul who aggressively
backed Clinton in her bid in 2008 for the Democratic presidential
nomination.Friday’s proceedings started with a video
feting Clinton that also appeared to urge her to run in 2016. It
included praise from an array of leaders, including former British Prime
Minister Tony Blair, Netanyahu, PA Prime Minister Salam Fayyad,
Jordanian Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.),
the 2008 Republican presidential nominee.Blair and Netanyahu said in the video that they believed Clinton would return to politics.Also appearing at the Saban Forum were Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman and Netanyahu’s predecessor, Ehud Olmert.Olmert would not say whether he would run in the January elections in Israel, but promised to announce his decision this week.He pledged to do his best to unseat Netanyahu,
whom he said blundered by opposing last week’s UN vote elevating the
Palestinian status to non-member observer state, and then by announcing
new settlement building in apparent retaliation — something that Olmert
called a “slap in the face” to President Obama coming after his support
for Israel during the mini-war with Hamas in Gaza last month.Liberman said Abbas was an untrustworthy partner and defended the settlement announcement. Eight men out: Why did the Czechs, Palau and half-a-dozen others stand with Israel in the vote on ‘Palestine’?
Along with the US, Canada, Panama and the Czech Republic, four tiny Pacific island nations — with a combined population that’s less than that of Petah Tikva — spared Israel still greater ignominy last Thursday. Could it be that they simply like us?
December 2, 2012, 9:14 pm
11-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL
The fact that the overwhelming
majority of nations voted on Thursday in favor of a resolution granting
the Palestinians nonmember observer state status at the United Nations
General Assembly was widely and accurately seen as proof of Israel’s
international isolation — on the issue, at least. Still, there were
eight countries that voted with Israel in the 138-9 diplomatic drubbing
(with 41 abstentions).Who are these nations that dared to oppose
China, France, Italy, Russia, Japan, Switzerland and 132 other nations?
And why did they back the lost cause?Washington and Ottawa are Israel’s staunchest
supporters in the international arena, so the no votes from the US and
Canada came as no surprise. But they were joined by Panama and the Czech
Republic, as well as four countries most people would have difficulty
finding on a map: the Marshall Islands and the Federated States of
Micronesia, Nauru and Palau.These four remote island nations, combined,
have a population of about 205,000; that’s a bit less than the
population of Petah Tikva. But in the UN General Assembly, every vote is
equal, whether it belongs to China or to a 459-square-kilometer group
of islands in the North Pacific Ocean, such as Palau.
The Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru and Palau have a long history of voting similarly to the US.
In 2010, for example, Micronesia echoed Washington’s vote at the US 47
times and only contradicted it three times. Palau followed the US lead
in 96.5% of all votes.Some observers suggest that “checkbook
diplomacy” is at work here, and that Israel or the US bought the tiny
island states’ votes for cash.The Marshall Islands and Micronesia are states
“in free association” with the US and are set to receive $3.5 billion
from Washington in the next 10 years, the International Business Times reported last week. “Palau is also in free association with the US, having received $18 million annually from the US until 2009.”
Checkbook diplomacy certainly exists — in 2008, Nauru received $10 million from Russia for voting in favor of the breakaway nation of Abkhazia — but Israeli officials denied it was at play during Thursday’s vote.“We don’t have money to pour on the other
states for their votes,” a diplomatic official told The Times of Israel
on Sunday. Neither Jerusalem nor Washington put “a single cent or even
half a cent on the table” in exchange for a pro-Israel vote, the
official said.It was actually the other side that bought
pro-Palestine votes, this official claimed, hinting that “some Gulf
states” paid for the support of “a few poor Pacific states and
governments in Africa.”Guatemala, meanwhile, gave Israel a “solemn
promise” to vote against the Palestinian resolution, but ended up
abstaining, the official said.Panama is consistently pro-Israeli and
pro-American, he added. The Central American nation of 3.5 million,
which is slightly smaller than South Carolina, said it believed that
Palestine had the right to be recognized as a state and regretted not
being able to vote for the resolution. “However,” the country’s foreign
ministry said in a statement,
Palestine “first needs to settle the differences with its neighbor, the
State of Israel, which, like Palestine, is entitled to a life in peace
and harmonious coexistence with Palestine and other states in the
region.”

The Czech Republic’s vote delighted and
surprised Israeli officials: It was the only European country to vote
against the Palestinian statehood bid. “They have been consistently one
of our best friends in the EU,” the official told The Times of Israel.Berlin actually tried to pressure Prague to at
least abstain in Thursday’s vote, to present a more-or-less unified
European position. “But they don’t care what anyone else says; they’re
ballsy,” the official said.“We do not agree with any unilateral steps
that may hamper or jeopardize the peace process leading to the two-state
solution,” the Czech Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
Prague voted against the resolution “because we are afraid that it
might result in a further delay in the resumption of the negotiating
process.”Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promptly
called his Czech counterpart, Petr Necas, and thanked him for his
country’s “courageous” stance. He promised to stop by in Prague on his
way to a state visit to Germany this week to personally thank him for
“standing up for the truth and for peace.”
“The history of Israel and the Czech Republic
has taught us that one must cling to the truth, even if the majority is
not with you,” Netanyahu told Necas. “Your vote must serve as an example
for all those who support peace, which can be achieved only via direct
negotiations without preconditions.”Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Avigdor
Liberman are also expected to call the leaders of the Marshall Islands,
Micronesia, Nauru and Palau in the coming days to thank them personally
for their support. Soon after Thursday’s vote, Netanyahu said that these
nations deserve praise and that “history will judge them favorably.”“The Pacific Island nations actually surprised
us last week,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor told The Times
of Israel on Sunday. “They usually side with us because of the very
strong emotional ties we have, but this time round we thought only
Micronesia was with us.”The “no” votes were the more surprising given
that even many of Israel’s allies voted for the proposal, arguing that
the Palestinians deserve a state and that this upgrade could reenergize
the peace process.“It is no mystery that many world leaders and
many nations feel very strongly about, and have very deep emotional
bonds with, Israel and the Jewish people. That is not something so
exceptional and sometimes it translates into actual votes at the UN,”
Palmor said by way of explanation. “Voting at the UN General Assembly is
always the result of complex and intricate sets of pressures and
interests. Whoever takes a country’s vote at face value and thinks that a
vote accurately reflects a country’s true opinion on the issue at
hand doesn’t know much about international diplomacy.”

17 So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee. I the LORD have spoken it.

Forces pound Damascus suburbs, flights to resume
By Erika Solomon | Reuters – 6 mins ago DEC 3,12
BEIRUT (Reuters) - Syrian forces pounded rebel-held suburbs around Damascus
with fighter jets and rockets on Sunday, opposition activists said,
killing and wounding dozens in an offensive to push rebels away from the
airport and stop them closing in on the capital.The army struck hard after a week of rebel advances,
including the capture of two military bases near the capital. Rebels had
been planning to push into central Damascus from their strongholds on
the outskirts and fighting in the past week has been fierce.Activists said heavy rocket fire struck towns close to the Damascus airport
road, where rebels and the army had been locked in three days of
clashes. Some described constant shelling, similar to carpet bombing, in
towns like Beit Saham."It was frightening
because it was the first time we heard continuous shelling. Really
powerful explosions, one after the other, were shaking the area. I could
see fire coming up from the town," said Samir al-Shami, from the
opposition's Syrian Youth Union, speaking by Skype."This was the worst day in those people's lives."In a sign the government had regained some control over
the airport, EgyptAir said it was resuming flights to Damascus and the
northern city of Aleppo on Monday after a three-day halt in which
Damascus airport was effectively closed due to unrest. The airline's
head said conditions were stable.
No comment was immediately available from Emirates Airline, which had also suspended its flights indefinitely.The army's assaults appear to have staved off a rebel advance into central Damascus so far. But neither side has gained ground in recent days, and fighting continued along the outskirts of the city despite heavy shelling by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's forces.But rebels said the area around Damascus airport was not secure, with clashes still erupting along the road. It is difficult to verify opposition reports because the government restricts media access into Syria.Other activists said the road was in army hands but the area was still unstable due to fighting in nearby towns like Beit Saham, about 1 kilometer away.
"No one controls that road. The army has tanks along the road, but the whole area is exposed to rebel attacks and they could fire on it any time," said one, asking not to be named.
DEADLY ROCKET ATTACKS
Rocket attacks on Sunday killed at least 10 in the town of Deir al-Asafir, 12 km east of Damascus, activists said. Video published by activists from the town showed at least five bodies, one of them a young boy and one an elderly man. The other bodies were wrapped in blood-spattered white sheets.Syrian security officials and diplomatic sources say the army's goal is to push rebels back and seal off central Damascus from the surrounding suburbs where the opposition is dominant.Rebels say they want to control the airport because the army has used it to bring in weapons. Western intelligence reports earlier this year said that Iran, Assad's main backer, had been using civilian aircraft to fly military equipment and personnel through Iraqi airspace into Syria.U.S. officials say the arms flow into Syria has continued due to Iraqi reluctance to check flights, according to a New York Times article. It said only two inspections had occurred since Iraq agreed to a U.S. request in September and that Iran may have been tipped off about the searches.Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki told reporters in Baghdad on Sunday there was no such request."There is no ability to inspect all planes destined to Syria and there was no U.S. request to inspect all aircrafts because they know that this is not possible," he said.Lebanese troops clashed with Syrian rebels on the border between the two countries on Sunday in what a security source called the first such incident between Lebanon's army and the rebels.
The clash occurred when a Lebanese border patrol spotted the rebel fighters along the border and the rebels opened fire to prevent the patrol from approaching, said a Lebanese military source. He said there were no casualties.
CAR BOMBINGS
In Syria's central city of Homs, a car bomb killed at least 15 people and wounded 24 on Sunday, Syria's state news agency SANA said. It said the blast in the city's Hamra district also damaged many nearby residential buildings. The government and the opposition traded blame for the blast.There has been a rise in the number of car bombs around the country. The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which has a network of activists across Syria, reported four car bombs on Saturday.The group gave a preliminary death toll for Sunday's fighting of 140.Violence has risen in Syria particularly since rebels began to contest Assad's control around the capital and Aleppo, Syria's largest city, but foreign powers remain deadlocked.Western countries support the opposition but Russia, Syria's main arms supplier, and China have blocked three U.N. Security Council resolutions condemning Assad and reject sanctions.Assad, whose family has ruled Syria autocratically for four decades, says he is fighting off radical Islamist militants funded by the West and Gulf Arab countries.State television on Sunday said the army was "eliminating al Qaeda terrorists" in the rebel stronghold of Daraya, a suburb on the southern outskirts of Damascus from which mortar shells have been fired into the capital.Rebel spokesman Abu Nidal said the army had entered one side of the suburb but that the rebels were still in control of the rest of the area.(This story has been refiled to add Assad's first name and title in the eighth paragraph)(Additional reporting by Suadad al-Salhy in Baghdad; Editing by Roger Atwood and Eric Walsh)

Russia may soften religion law over Putin concerns
By Gabriela Baczynska | Reuters – 8 hrs ago DEC 3,12
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian lawmakers are reworking a draft law introducing prison terms for religious offences after signs that Vladimir Putin is concerned it could undermine the delicate balance between the country's many religions.The president's
party proposed the law after two members of the Pussy Riot punk band
were jailed for two years over a protest in a cathedral against Putin's
increasingly close ties with the Russian Orthodox Church.Putin has trod a
thin line between celebrating a secular state of many religions and
promoting the Russian Orthodox Church since rising to power in 2000, but
has leaned more on the Orthodox Church for support since starting his third term as president in May following protests against his rule.Opponents say the draft law is intended as part of
broader Kremlin moves to suppress dissent and bolster public support by
casting Putin, a former KGB spy, as the protector of religious
believers.
Critics have also said the definition of offending religious feelings is so broad and vaguely defined in the draft law that it risks being ineffective or applied selectively in practice, hurting relations between Russia's many religions."The impression is that in the Kremlin they understood that somehow they have overdone it," said Alexei Malashenko, a religion expert at the Carnegie Moscow Center think tank."The goal of this law is still to tighten regulations in general but they understand that a too radical tightening is dangerous so they will consult now and hold talks, especially as at the Kremlin itself there is no unanimity on that matter."Yaroslav Nilov told Reuters that the parliamentary committee overseeing the legislation, which he heads, was looking again at the wording after Putin told his advisory council on human rights that lawmakers should not rush with the bill.He did not comment on the jail term it now envisages -- up to three years for offending religious feelings and up to five years for inflicting damage on religious sites or holy books, in addition to fines and community work."What does offending religious feelings mean? Is the most important principle for Muslims, that there is no God but Allah, an offence to the religious feelings of Christians?," said Alexei Grishin, a member of Russia's Civic Chamber, an advisory body to the Russian authorities."Most likely it is if you approach it very stringently, as it suggests all other gods are not really gods. So the law really needs to be worded very precisely, otherwise it would lead to unpredictable consequences."
RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH RESURGENT
The Russian Orthodox Church has been resurgent since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, but atheistic traditions are also strong after decades of repression of religious faith during the Soviet Communist era.About three in four Russians say they are Orthodox Christians and a vast majority were outraged by the profanity-laced Pussy Riot protest in February, although far fewer supported the tough sentences, opinion polls showed.The two members of the all-female protest band were sentenced for hooliganism motivated by religious hatred.Nilov, head of parliament's committee on civic and religious groups, said he hoped the jail terms would stay."We are refining the wording. The law will only be passed next year," he said, adding that one change discussed was aimed at avoiding legal discrimination of atheists."For example, we will move away from talking of safeguarding the feelings of believers towards creating a punishment for offending people because of their views on religion. Such a phrase will also include non-believers."Rights activists have said the legislation, in its current form, could blur the line between religion and the state in Russia, which by constitution is a secular country."I think our legislation already has enough instruments to protect against attacks on citizens whose right to easily exercise their freedom of conscience, both in religious and other terms, is hindered," Russia's human rights ombudsman, Vladimir Lukin, said.(Editing by Timothy Heritage and Anna Willard)

Egypt's top court shuts down, blames Islamist protesters
By Tamim Elyan and Tom Perry | Reuters – 5 hrs ago DEC 3,12
CAIRO (Reuters) - Protests by Islamists allied to President Mohamed Mursi forced Egypt's
highest court to adjourn its work indefinitely on Sunday, intensifying a
conflict between some of the country's top judges and the head of
state.The Supreme Constitutional Court
said it would not convene until its judges could operate without
"psychological and material pressure", saying protesters had stopped the
judges from reaching the building.Several hundred Mursi
supporters had protested outside the court through the night ahead of a
session expected to examine the legality of parliament's upper house
and the assembly that drafted a new constitution, both of them Islamist-controlled.The cases have cast
a legal shadow over Mursi's efforts to chart a way out of a crisis
ignited by a November 22 decree that temporarily expanded his powers and
led to nationwide protests against him and his Muslim Brotherhood group.The court's decision to suspend its activities appeared
unlikely to have any immediate impact on Mursi's drive to get the new
constitution passed in a national referendum on December 15.Judges supervise voting in Egypt, and Mursi will need them to oversee the referendum.But in a blow to the president, an influential body
representing judges decided on Sunday not to oversee the vote, the state
news agency reported. The Judges' Club's decisions are not binding on
members, however.Vice President Mahmoud Mekky said on Sunday he was
confident the judges would perform that role, despite calls by Mursi's
critics in the judiciary for a boycott.Three people have been killed and hundreds wounded in protests and counter-demonstrations over Mursi's decree.At least 200,000 of
Mursi's supporters attended a rally at Cairo University on Saturday.
His opponents are staging an open-ended sit-in in Cairo's Tahrir Square,
the cradle of the uprising that toppled Hosni Mubarak in February 2011.The National Salvation Front, an alliance of liberal,
leftist and socialist opposition groups, called for protests in Tahrir
Square on Tuesday against Mursi holding the referendum on what it
branded an "illegitimate constitution".Mursi and the Muslim Brotherhood,
which propelled him to power in a June election, hope to end the crisis
by pushing through the new constitution hastily adopted by the drafting
assembly on Friday. The next day the assembly handed the text to Mursi,
who called the referendum and urged Egyptians to vote."The Muslim Brotherhood is determined to go ahead with
its own plans regardless of everybody else. There is no compromise on
the horizon," said Hassan Nafaa, a professor of political science at
Cairo University.
DEEP SUSPICION
Outside the Supreme Constitutional Court, Muslim Brotherhood supporters rallied behind the referendum date. "Yes to the constitution," said a banner held aloft by one protester. Chants demanded the "purging of the judiciary".The interior minister told the head of the court that the building was accessible and that the protests were peaceful, according a statement from the ministry.The protest reflected the deep suspicion harbored by Egypt's Islamists towards a court they see as a vestige of the Mubarak era. The same court ruled in June to dissolve the Muslim Brotherhood-led lower house of parliament.Since then, several legal cases have challenged the legitimacy of the upper house of parliament and the 100-member constituent assembly that wrote the constitution.Those against the upper house have focused on the legality of the law by which it was elected, while the constitutional assembly has faced a raft of court cases alleging that the way it was picked was illegal.Mursi believes securing approval for the new constitution in a popular referendum will bury all arguments on the legality of the constituent assembly, as well as controversy over the text it worked through the night to finish on Friday.It will also override the November 22 decree that drew concern from Western governments and a rebellion by sections of the judiciary. The decree shielded Mursi from judicial oversight.While the Islamists' critics, including representatives of the Christian minority, have accused the Brotherhood of trying to hijack the constitution, investors appear to have seen Mursi's moves as a harbinger of stability. They were also relieved that Saturday's mass Islamist protest went off calmly.The main stock market index, which lost a tenth of its value in response to Mursi's November 22 decree, rallied more than 2 percent when the market opened on Sunday."The events that took place through the weekend, from the approval of the final draft of the constitution and the president calling a referendum, gave some confidence to investors that political stability is on track," said Mohamed Radwan of Pharos Securities, an Egyptian brokerage.
OPPOSITION INFURIATED
But opposition parties have been infuriated by what they see as the Brotherhood's attempt to ram through a constitution that does not enjoy national consensus. Mursi's opponents warn of deeper polarization ahead.
Liberal figures, including former Arab League chief Amr Moussa, pulled out of the constituent assembly last month, as did Christian representatives.The draft constitution contains Islamist-flavored language which opponents say could be used to whittle away human rights and stifle criticism. It forbids blasphemy and "insults to any person", does not explicitly uphold women's rights and demands respect for "religion, traditions and family values".New York-based Human Rights Watch said the draft constitution protected some rights while undermining others.The text limits presidents to two four-year terms, requires parliamentary approval for their choice of prime minister, and introduces some civilian oversight of the military - although not enough for critics. Mubarak ruled for three decades.Mursi described it as a constitution that fulfilled the goals of the revolution that ended Mubarak's rule. "Let everyone -- those who agree and those who disagree -- go to the referendum to have their say," he said.The Islamists are gambling that they will be able to secure a "Yes" vote by mobilizing their core support base.(Writing by Tom Perry; Editing by Alistair Lyon and Roger Atwood)
