OBSTACLES
U.S. President Barack Obama came to Jerusalem in March and his secretary of state has visited the region three times in little over six weeks. Kerry was due to see Israeli Justice Minister Tzipi Livni later on Thursday in Washington.Livni has been designated by Netanyahu to be his chief peace negotiator. She was traveling with one of the prime minister's top officials and confidants, Yitzhak Molcho.Direct peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians broke down in 2010 over the issue of continued Jewish settlement building on 1967 land. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas says he will not return to the table until there is a construction freeze. Israel says there should be no pre-conditions.Unexpectedly highlighting the issue of referendum has fueled hopes that the impasse might soon be overcome. However, there was little sign that the core questions dividing the two sides, including the status of Jerusalem, were any nearer resolution.
"No one thinks we are near a historic agreement. But any historic agreement will need national legitimacy," the Israeli official said.The Palestinians have also said that they would hold a referendum on an eventual accord, with no guarantees that their diverse electorate, including the far-flung refugee population, would accept the likely compromises needed to seal a deal.Israel passed a law in 2010 for a referendum to approve any handover of East Jerusalem or the Golan Heights, territory captured in the 1967 war and which it has annexed.Moves are under way in parliament to expand that law to include the West Bank, which has not been annexed and is under Israeli military occupation.(Editing by Crispian Balmer)

WELL THE BIBLE TELLS US THE VATICAN POPE AND THE FUTURE WORLD DICTATOR WILL BE WORKING CLOSELY TOGETHER.SO I KNEW THIS POPE WOULD HAVE TO BE IN GOOD STANDING WITH ISRAEL.BECAUSE THE EUROPEAN UNION WORLD LEADER WILL BE LIVING IN JERUSALEM AND OVIOUSLY THE POPE WILL BE IN JERUSALEM ALOT OF THE TIME TO DURING THE 7 YEAR TRIBULATION PERIOD.WORKING SIDE BY SIDE WITH THE WORLD DICTATOR AND BESIDES FOR THERE TO BE A ONE RELIGIOUS SYSTEM YOU HAVE TO HAVE ISRAEL INVOLVED BECAUSE ALL 3 MAJOR RELIGIONS ARE IN ISRAEL ALL THE TIME.SO THE END TIMES AGE OF GRACE DAYS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD THE WORLD NEVER ENDS ARE ON BIGTIME NOW.WE CAN SEE THE VATICAN GETTING IN POLITICS BIGTIME LIKE THE BIBLE SAYS.AND ITS GONNA BE IN ISRAEL WHICH WILL BRING ABOUT THE ONE WORLD RELIGION.YES THIS POPE I KNEW HAD TO BE A MMUSLIM SUPPORTER SO ALL THE RELIGIONS COULD COME TOGETHER AS ONE IN THIS FALSE ONE WORLD RELIGION.
Noting Pope Francis’ “past well-known engagement and friendship with the Jewish Community in Buenos Aires in particular” the Commission stated it “looks forward to the continuation and deepening of Christian-Jewish relations during his papacy, following on from the historic strides of his predecessors.”The same message of reciprocal friendship and solidarity was expressed a day later during the encounter between Pope Francis and President Peres --- who sent a message of greeting to the Jerusalem Conference, noted with satisfaction by the Commission.Pope Francis raised the issue of anti-Semitism in the world and made clear that anti-Semitism goes against the beliefs of Christians and “must be opposed in every country and corner of the globe. As Pope, I will not tolerate any expression of anti-Semitism.”With reference to the role of religions in ushering in peace, President Peres noted that “Sadly, there are many religious leaders in the Middle East and across the world who advocate terror and bloodshed and do so in the name of the Lord. We all have an obligation to stand up and say in a loud and clear voice, that the Lord did not give anyone the authority to murder and carry out bloodshed. Your voice” he said to Pope Francis, “has a great impact in the matter. “Francis suggested creating a global meeting of hope with the leaders of all the world’s faiths to produce a united message against violence and terror.The Nobel Peace Prize winner extended a warm invitation to Pope Francis to visit Israel, affirming his certainty that the Pope would be “warmly received by all Israelis” because “they see in you a leader of peace and good will. The sooner you visit, the better, as in these days a new opportunity is being created for peace and your arrival could contribute significantly to increasing the trust and belief in peace.”Francis thanked him and said he greatly wishes to visit Israel and would “try to find time to do so in the near future.” President Peres explained he believed “there is a chance to open negotiations between Israel and Palestine, and that Abu Mazen is a genuine partner for peace. The Ministers of the Arab League once again expressed their support for a two state solution, which is also accepted by us, and a broad structure of support is being created for making progress.”Regarding more “political” issues, Israel’s President was received by the Vatican’s Secretary of State, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, its “Foreign Minister” Dominique Mamberti, by the President of Italy Giorgio Napolitano, Foreign Minister Emma Bonino, and Italy’s new Premier Enrico Letta. Discussions centered on Middle East trouble spots such as Syria and Iran. President Peres expressed Israel’s appreciation for the ongoing excellent relations with Italy and extended invitations to visit Israel.After meeting Italian Jewish community leaders, Shimon Peres wound up his stay with a visit to Assisi where he was proclaimed “honorary citizen”. There Israel’s President and Nobel Peace Prize winner grasped the opportunity to thank the town for what its Bishop and Friars did to save over 300 Jews from the Nazi-Fascist persecutions of World War II, providing refuge for all. “Four priests and friars were named among the Righteous of Yad Vashem for having risked their lives to save our brethren” he said. “On behalf of Israel, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4 And the woman (FALSE CHURCH) was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour,(VATICAN COLOURS)(ANOTHER REASON WE KNOW THE FALSE POPE COMES FROM THE VATICAN) and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:

Vatican City, May 2, 2013 / 07:22 am (CNA/EWTN News).-
The Vatican’s top official for interreligious dialogue, Cardinal
Jean-Louis Tauran, sent a message to all Buddhists urging a joint
commitment to “unmask the threats to human life.”In his annual letter
for the feast of Vesakh, Cardinal Tauran
highlighted the two faiths’ “noble teachings on the sanctity of human
life” but lamented that “evil in different forms contributes to the
dehumanization of the person” in society, “by mitigating the sense of
humanity in individuals and communities.”“This tragic situation calls
upon us, Buddhists and Christians, to
join hands to unmask the threats to human life and to awaken the ethical
consciousness of our respective followers to generate a spiritual and
moral rebirth of individuals and societies,” he wrote in his May 2
letter.Vesakh is a major Buddhist holy day that commemorates the birth,
enlightenment, and death of Gautama Buddha.According to tradition, the
historical Buddha was born, achieved
enlightenment and passed away during the full moon of the month of May.
This means that Vesakh is a movable feast, which this year falls on May
24 or 25, depending on the country it is celebrated in.On those days,
Buddhists visit local temples to offer the monks food
and to hear the teachings of the Buddha, taking special care to
meditate and to observe the eight precepts of Buddhism.This year's
message is entitled: “Christians and Buddhists: Loving,
Defending, and Promoting Human Life.” The letter is signed by Cardinal
Tauran, prefect of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue,
and Father Miguel Angel Ayuso Guixot, the council’s secretary.Cardinal
Tauran also recalled that Pope Francis believes in the importance of
interreligious dialogue.“Pope Francis, at the very beginning of his ministry, has reaffirmed
the necessity of a dialogue of friendship among followers of different
religions. He noted that: ‘The Church is … conscious of the
responsibility which all of us have for our world, for the whole of
creation, which we must love and protect. There is much that we can do
to benefit the poor, the needy, and those who suffer, and to favor
justice, promote reconciliation, and build peace.’”
In the letter addressed to Buddhists, bishops quoted Pope Francis’ words on the “need for dialogue and friendship between the followers of different religious faiths.” It concludes: “let us continue to collaborate in a spirit of renewed compassion and fraternity, to alleviate the suffering of the human family, protecting the sacredness of human life.”

The leader of the United Kingdom’s Independence Party (UKIP)
suspended a party election candidate who was photographed making the
Nazi salute.UKIP leader Nigel Farage suspended party member Alex Wood, after he
was exposed by the Daily Mirror for performing the fascist gesture.Wood claimed innocence however, insisting that he was merely “reaching for a friend’s phone.”“Alex was very outspoken and radical – his opinions were very right-wing,” said a former friend of the candidate who spoke on condition of anonymity."I remember him using the Nazi salute,” he said.An activist in the party, confirmed his beliefs saying, Wood’s views were “widely known.”Farge admitted that the photographs of Wood “did not look pretty” and had embarrassed” the party.

Israel's Netanyahu says would put peace deal to referendum
By Crispian Balmer | Reuters – 12 mins ago MAY 2,13
By Crispian Balmer
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday he would put any peace deal with the Palestinians to a referendum, raising expectations that direct negotiations might soon resume following a two-year stalemate.It was the second time in just three days that Netanyahu has publicly mentioned the possibility of holding a nationwide vote on an eventual accord and came as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry met Israeli politicians in Washington to discuss talks."If we get to a peace agreement
with the Palestinians, I'd like to bring it to a referendum, and I'd
like to talk to you about your experiences with that," Netanyahu said as
he met Swiss Foreign Minister Didier Burkhalter.Switzerland regularly holds referendum on a broad range of issues. Israel,
by contrast, has never held a referendum in its 65-year history, and
previous peace treaties with Arab neighbors Egypt and Jordan were
approved by parliament.Netanyahu leads a center-right coalition that includes
supporters of the settlement movement, many of whom are fiercely opposed
to the idea of allowing the Palestinians an independent state on land
seized by Israel in the 1967 war.By pledging to put any deal to a referendum, Netanyahu
could be hoping to avert any immediate far-right backlash to a decision
to talk land-for-peace with the Palestinians, promising that the Israeli
people would have the final word."There is a very serious effort under way to get talks
to resume," said a senior Israeli official who declined to be named.
"People are devoting a lot of time and effort to this. It is possible
and it is doable."OBSTACLES

Simultaneous Messages of Peace from Jerusalem, Rome and Assisi
Jerusalem
Vatican-Israel Bi-Lateral Commission honors John XXIII in Jerusalem while Israel’s President and Nobel Peace Prize winner Shimon Peres has audience with Pope Francis and is granted honorary citizenship in Assisi
Lisa Palmieri-Billig Rome Judging from events that took place this week in Italy and in Israel, relations between the Catholic Church and the Jewish People seem to promise an all time high.While Israel’s President and Nobel Peace Prize winner Shimon Peres met with Pope Francis in Rome, the 12th meeting of the Bi-Lateral Commission of the Holy See and the Chief Rabbinate of Israel was held in Jerusalem, dedicated to honoring and celebrating the memory of Pope John XXIII 50 years after his death. The international conference discussed “his historic role in transforming the attitude and teaching of the Catholic Church towards the Jewish people, based on mutual respect and affirmation of the eternal Covenant between God and Israel in keeping with the declaration Nostra Aetate of the Second Vatican Council.”The conference was sponsored by the American Jewish Committee, Tel Aviv University’s Kantor Center for the study of Contemporary European Jewry and the Konrad Adenauer Foundation. Speakers from the Vatican and the Catholic Church included among others, Cardinal Kurt Koch, Cardinal Peter Appiah Turkson, the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem H.B. Fouad Twal, Fr. Pierbattista Pizzaballa - Custos of the Holy Land, and Prof. Alberto Melloni. Jewish speakers included scholars from Israeli and European Universities, Yad Vashem, Chief Rabbi of Haifa Emeritus - She’ar Yashub Cohen, Dr.Amos Luzzatto - the former President of the Union of Italian Jewish Communities, and Rabbi David Rosen - AJC’s International Director of Interreligious Affairs.Different sessions were dedicated to Roncalli and the Shoah; the Establishment of the state of Israel; Vatican II and Nostra Aetate; the Legacy of John XXIII for Christian- Jewish Relations in Europe and the World.Commenting on the Conference, Rabbi Rosen said, “It exceeded all expectations and created tremendous excitement. A throng of people gathered outside the packed room, many sitting on the stairs. They could have filled a hall twice the size of ours. There was enormous interest on all levels, which is a tribute to the changing of attitudes regarding Catholic-Jewish relations.”Significantly, the final Joint Declaration stressed the “importance of educating the respective religious communities about the nature, substance and significance of these changes” and called on Israel’s Ministry of Education plus the Holy See’s Congregation for Catholic Education “to explore ways and means of how these developments can become an integral part of the required syllabus of educational institutions under their respective authorities.” It also pointed out that “The mutual respect and friendship between us over recent years brings responsibility to present each other the way each sees themselves and defend the wellbeing of each other’s communities” - with special responsibilities of the religious majority for the minorities in each country.After the Conference, the Bi – Lateral Commission presented the Declaration to the Speaker of the knesset, Yuri Edelstein, drawing his attention to the special appeal regarding education.Noting Pope Francis’ “past well-known engagement and friendship with the Jewish Community in Buenos Aires in particular” the Commission stated it “looks forward to the continuation and deepening of Christian-Jewish relations during his papacy, following on from the historic strides of his predecessors.”The same message of reciprocal friendship and solidarity was expressed a day later during the encounter between Pope Francis and President Peres --- who sent a message of greeting to the Jerusalem Conference, noted with satisfaction by the Commission.Pope Francis raised the issue of anti-Semitism in the world and made clear that anti-Semitism goes against the beliefs of Christians and “must be opposed in every country and corner of the globe. As Pope, I will not tolerate any expression of anti-Semitism.”With reference to the role of religions in ushering in peace, President Peres noted that “Sadly, there are many religious leaders in the Middle East and across the world who advocate terror and bloodshed and do so in the name of the Lord. We all have an obligation to stand up and say in a loud and clear voice, that the Lord did not give anyone the authority to murder and carry out bloodshed. Your voice” he said to Pope Francis, “has a great impact in the matter. “Francis suggested creating a global meeting of hope with the leaders of all the world’s faiths to produce a united message against violence and terror.The Nobel Peace Prize winner extended a warm invitation to Pope Francis to visit Israel, affirming his certainty that the Pope would be “warmly received by all Israelis” because “they see in you a leader of peace and good will. The sooner you visit, the better, as in these days a new opportunity is being created for peace and your arrival could contribute significantly to increasing the trust and belief in peace.”Francis thanked him and said he greatly wishes to visit Israel and would “try to find time to do so in the near future.” President Peres explained he believed “there is a chance to open negotiations between Israel and Palestine, and that Abu Mazen is a genuine partner for peace. The Ministers of the Arab League once again expressed their support for a two state solution, which is also accepted by us, and a broad structure of support is being created for making progress.”Regarding more “political” issues, Israel’s President was received by the Vatican’s Secretary of State, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, its “Foreign Minister” Dominique Mamberti, by the President of Italy Giorgio Napolitano, Foreign Minister Emma Bonino, and Italy’s new Premier Enrico Letta. Discussions centered on Middle East trouble spots such as Syria and Iran. President Peres expressed Israel’s appreciation for the ongoing excellent relations with Italy and extended invitations to visit Israel.After meeting Italian Jewish community leaders, Shimon Peres wound up his stay with a visit to Assisi where he was proclaimed “honorary citizen”. There Israel’s President and Nobel Peace Prize winner grasped the opportunity to thank the town for what its Bishop and Friars did to save over 300 Jews from the Nazi-Fascist persecutions of World War II, providing refuge for all. “Four priests and friars were named among the Righteous of Yad Vashem for having risked their lives to save our brethren” he said. “On behalf of Israel, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

Tauran on interreligious dialogue: “We’re not competitors but pilgrims searching for the truth”
Cardinal Tauran
The President of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue has sent out a number of messages on the occasion of the European bishops’ meeting in London
Luca Rolandi Rome “Believers know that “man does not just live off bread.” They are aware of the fact that they have to make their own personal contribution in their everyday lives and they must do so together, not as competitors but as pilgrims in search of the truth.” The President of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, Cardinal Jean Louis Tauran, said this in a speech he gave in London yesterday evening, at the meeting of bishops and representatives of Europe’s bishops’ conferences for relations with Muslims, organised by the CCEE, due to finish tomorrow.During the opening session, the cardinal highlighted the importance of Benedict XVI’s visit to Lebanon, where he met with Muslims religious leaders, to foster Christian-Muslim dialogue. He also drew attention to the importance of the creation of the inter faith centre in Vienna “which could be a new channel for denouncing religious freedom violations and for encouraging and sharing positive experiences.” The Archbishop of Bordeaux, Jean-Pierre Ricard, also took the floor during the opening session, saying: “The international landscape has changed considerably in the wake of the “Arab Springs” in Egypt and Tunisia, the Libyan war, the upheaval in Syria and the repercussions it has had across the entire Middle East.”The French cardinal said these changes “have had an effect on public opinion in our European countries.” There are various forms of interreligious dialogue in Europe: “everyday dialogue,” dialogue through “work” that fosters collaboration for the overall development of mankind, dialogue of theological exchange and finally, dialogue of religious experience “in which people with deep religious roots share their personal spiritual experiences.”Cardinal Tauran’s message is a very important one. It was addressed to the Buddhist world on the occasion of the annual Feast of Vesakh. The cardinal linked the following pillars of Christianity and Buddhism, to get across the real essence of this year’s message: The protection of human life: “In order for there to be a genuine, fraternal dialogue between us, Buddhists and Christians need to build on the things we have in common, first and foremost, our shared deep respect for life.”“Loving kindness towards all beings” is the “cornerstone” of Buddhist ethics, Tauran went on to say. Love for God and love for one’s neighbour are “central to the moral teaching of Jesus.” The cardinal then said that in his opinion, “a climate of peace urgently needs to be created, both for Buddhists and Christians, on the basis of the authentic legacy of our religious traditions, in order to love, defend and foster human life.”In the letter addressed to Buddhists, bishops quoted Pope Francis’ words on the “need for dialogue and friendship between the followers of different religious faiths.” It concludes: “let us continue to collaborate in a spirit of renewed compassion and fraternity, to alleviate the suffering of the human family, protecting the sacredness of human life.”

Off the charts': 133k Somalia famine child deaths
By | Associated Press – 1 hr 29 mins ago MAY 2,13
NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — A decision by extremists Islamist militants to ban food aid and international donors numb to a series of unfolding disasters made south-central Somalia the most dangerous place in the world to be a child in 2011.The first in-depth scientific study of famine
deaths in Somalia in 2011 was released Thursday. It estimates 133,000
children under age 5 died, with child death rates approaching 20 percent
in some communities.That's 133,000 under-5 deaths out
of an estimated 9.3 million people. That compares to 65,000 under-5
deaths in all other industrial countries in the world, a combined
population of 990 million, according to Chris Hillbruner, a senior food
security adviser at FEWS NET, a famine warning agency.The Associated Press earlier reported Monday on the overall findings of the report.

Italy and Germany share 'federalist vocation'
01.05.13 @ 09:27
Berlin - Italy's new Prime Minister
Enrico Letta went to Berlin for political talks with Chancellor Angela
Merkel on Tuesday (30 April) just hours after being confirmed by the
Italian Senate.Speaking ahead of the meeting, the two tried to downplay their divergences over European economic policy.Merkel repeated several times that "solid public finances" and growth are two sides of the same coin."We have to free ourselves from this misconception that growth and
budget consolidation are opposed. Solid public finances are a
precondition for growth. And growth is not only the state giving money,
but it's creating conditions for small and medium enterprises to feel at
home, to be able to invest and open up jobs. And for that we need
structural reforms, good schools and universities, investments in
research," said the Chancellor.She also tried to show sympathy for the millions of unemployed people in southern European countries."Budget deficit figures are of course important, but we must make
politics for the people, to stimulate investments, to create more jobs,"
she said.For his part, Letta, who was appointed as head of a grand coalition
including the centre-right led by former prime minister Silvio
Berlusconi, gave assurances that Italy was not going to steer away from
the EU deficit and debt rules.But the centre-left politician warned that the message given by Italian voters may be replicated in other countries."If Europe stands only for negative news, for austerity, then we'll
see more of these movements against Europe. We need to work on Europe as
a generator of good news, of growth," he noted.Letta said both he and his government are "profoundly pro-European.""In the past five years of crisis we did not find sufficient
solutions because there was not enough Europe. This is my objective -
and also that of Germany, because both our countries have a federalist
vocation. Europe always advanced when Italy and Germany worked
together," he said.In view of the upcoming Italian EU presidency in the second half of
2014, Letta says he wants to see Europe reach its four goals of a
banking union, a fiscal and economic union, as well as a political
union."If we reached these objectives, we could solve our domestic problems much easier," he said.Asked if he will deliver on Berlusconi's campaign promise that if in
government, his party will eradicate a property tax introduced last
year, Letta said these are "internal matters.""We will stick to our commitments but what taxes we impose is our domestic choice," he said.
The new Italian leader will also travel to Brussels and Paris this week. Industry minister Flavio Zanonato said Letta's aim is to "renegotiate" EU rules on debt and deficit, so that investment spending is exempted from the overall thresholds.Former prime minister Mario Monti tried for the last two years to get this introduced, but was ultimately unsuccessful.

While the family of the dead settler mourned their loss, the Zaghal family, living in poverty in the north of the Palestinian territory, defended Salam's action as justified."It was destiny, and we take pride in him as a family. What he did is a duty for all Palestinians living with the aggression of the army and settlers," his elderly father Assad said, sitting with glum relatives in a circle of plastic chairs.The slaying of 31-year-old Eviatar Borovsky was the first time an Israeli had been killed by a Palestinian in the West Bank since 2011, when seven Israelis died, including a family of two settlers and their three young children all knifed to death.Nine Palestinians have been shot and killed by Israeli soldiers this year, mostly during clashes with protesters.While Salam's deed may bring esteem to his family among some Palestinians, it may not erase an old taint in this run-down village - his brother Abdulfattah's conviction by Palestinian authorities of spying for Israel.Israeli security forces say they are investigating whether Salam's attack was meant to clear the family name, something the family denies. Palestinian society reviles suspected spies and families seldom live down the shame of being linked to one.The killing appears to encapsulate the contradictions of Palestinian politics in the West Bank - torn between working with a sworn enemy and lashing out violently against it.
OUTPOSTS AND OUTRAGE
Abdulfattah's 10-year sentence was commuted out of mercy for the impoverished family, a security source said, and he was freed on bail pending an appeal after serving a year in jail."I've served a year. They said I was informing, but they're totally wrong and they had no evidence," said a pensive Abdulfattah, holding prayer beads in his sinewy arm.Israel relies on a network of Palestinian informants to monitor and arrest suspected militants, and their work has contributed to the years of calm for Israel in the West Bank.The Western-backed Palestinian Authority itself passes intelligence to Israel and has renounced violence against it.Salam was released from an Israeli jail just two months ago after completing a 3-1/2-year term for planting explosives by Israel's separation barrier near his village and trying to wrest a gun from a soldier, his family said."They let him out of one prison and into what? This open-air prison?" asked his brother Ali."He had no job lately and he was talking more and more about the martyrdom of the prisoners in Israeli jail. He felt deeply about their suffering, but he seemed normal," he said.Two Palestinian prisoners died in Israeli custody this year. Palestinians say one was tortured to death and the other was denied proper cancer treatment. Israel denies these allegations.Israeli settlers care little about the attacker's motives in killing Borovsky, who was a father of five. They have demanded more settlement building on land Palestinians want for a future state, and won a sympathetic hearing from the government."The people of Israel must continue to redeem all parts of the land of Israel," Housing Minister Uri Ariel said at Borovsky's funeral.On Wednesday, settlers erected a new makeshift settlement on a hilltop above where Borovsky was killed.Settlers from his home in Yitzhar, known among Palestinians for their militancy, set fire to fields and threw stones on the day of the attack.(Additional reporting by Ali Sawafta; Editing by Alistair Lyon)

Palestinian family says son who stabbed Israeli 'did his duty'

SHWEIKEH, West Bank (Reuters) - Ali Zaghal read the mysterious text message early on Tuesday morning with dread: "Forgive me, brother."Minutes later, his 21-year-old brother Salam stabbed an Israeli settler waiting at a traffic circle in the occupied West Bank, killing him before being shot and arrested by soldiers.While the family of the dead settler mourned their loss, the Zaghal family, living in poverty in the north of the Palestinian territory, defended Salam's action as justified."It was destiny, and we take pride in him as a family.

They said I was informing, but they're totally wrong and they had no evidence," said a pensive Abdulfattah, holding prayer beads in his sinewy arm.Israel relies on a network of Palestinian informants to monitor and arrest suspected militants, and their work has contributed to the years of calm for Israel in the West Bank.The Western-backed Palestinian Authority itself passes intelligence to Israel and has renounced violence against it.Salam was released from an Israeli jail just two months ago after completing a 3-1/2-year term for planting explosives by Israel's separation barrier near his village and trying to wrest a gun from a soldier, his family said."They let him out of one prison and into what? This open-air prison?" asked his brother Ali."He had no job lately and he was talking more and more about the martyrdom of the prisoners in Israeli jail. He felt deeply about their suffering, but he seemed normal," he said.Two Palestinian prisoners died in Israeli custody this year. Palestinians say one was tortured to death and the other was denied proper cancer treatment. Israel denies these allegations.Israeli settlers care little about the attacker's motives in killing Borovsky, who was a father of five. They have demanded more settlement building on land Palestinians want for a future state, and won a sympathetic hearing from the government."The people of Israel must continue to redeem all parts of the land of Israel," Housing Minister Uri Ariel said at Borovsky's funeral.On Wednesday, settlers erected a new makeshift settlement on a hilltop above where Borovsky was killed.Settlers from his home in Yitzhar, known among Palestinians for their militancy, set fire to fields and threw stones on the day of the attack.(Additional reporting by Ali Sawafta; Editing by Alistair Lyon)
Syrian troops advance in central city of Homs
By | Associated Press – 34 mins ago MAY 2,13
BEIRUT (AP) — Backed by warplanes, Syrian government troops pushed Thursday into the central districts of the city of Homs in an effort to oust rebels from the country's third largest urban center, activists said.The regime pounded rebel-held districts with artillery and carried
out at least one airstrike on a residential neighborhood, killing seven
people, four of them children, said the Britain-based Syrian Observatory
for Human Rights.President Bashar Assad's troops regained control of the Wadi Sayeh
district in the center of Homs early Thursday morning, the Observatory
said. The neighborhood is strategically important for the government as
its forces try to dislodge opposition fighters from several central
districts that have been under rebel control for more than a year.In the northern city of Aleppo, rebels overran the headquarters of
Assad's anti-terrorism forces, according to the Aleppo Media Center
activists group. The building's capture was the latest in a string of
rebel victories in Syria's largest city, where opposition fighters are
trying to expand their hold.The building is located near the central prison where many of Assad's
opponents, activists and their family members are believed to be held.
Rebel fighters have for weeks battled government troops in the area in
an attempt to storm the facility and free the prisoners.Both Homs and Aleppo, along with the capital of Damascus, have been
key battlegrounds in the country's conflict, which is now in its third
year and has claimed more than 70,000 lives. In the past year, the
fighting has taken increasingly sectarian overtones. Members of Syria's
Sunni Muslim majority dominate the ranks of the rebels fighting to
topple Assad's regime, made up mostly of the minority Alawite sect — an
offshoot group of Shiite Islam that the president's family also belongs
to.The Observatory, which relies on a network of activists on the
ground, said regime jets also hit the northern city of Raqqa, killing
eight people there on Thursday. In early March, Raqqa became the first
urban center to fall entirely under rebel control.Also Thursday, fierce clashes broke out near the coastal town of
Banias, the Observatory said, adding that at least six government
soldiers were killed in the fighting and 20 other were wounded. Banias
is a predominantly Sunni town on the Mediterranean, although the broader
coastal area is an Alawite heartland.The Syrian conflict started with largely peaceful protests against
Assad's regime in the impoverished suburbs of the major cities, but
quickly spread around the country, descending into a full-scale civil
war.In recent weeks, government forces have been on a counter offensive
to reverse rebel gains in and around Aleppo, where the opposition
controls whole neighborhoods and large swaths of land around the city.The army has also conducted massive sweeps through opposition
strongholds around Damascus to oust rebels from their enclaves, from
where they are increasingly threatening the capital, the seat of Assad's
power.Regaining full control of Homs would be a psychological blow to the
opposition, which considers the city a symbol of Syria's uprising,
inspired by other Arab Spring revolts against authoritarian rulers
around the Middle East.Homs was the scene of massive street protests against Assad's regime
in the first months of the uprising that began in March 2011. Since
then, it has seen some of the worst urban warfare in the country's civil
war.Also Thursday, Assad's warplanes hit several targets in Damascus
province, including rebel positions in neighborhoods around the capital,
as well as targets in the southern city of Daraa, the Observatory said.Opposition activists also reported fierce clashes between Assad's
troops and rebels near Aleppo's international airport. Aleppo, Syria's
main commercial hub, has been carved up into opposition- and
government-held areas since the rebels launched an offensive there last
summer, capturing several districts and villages and towns around the
city, which is near the border with Turkey.On the frontier, a group of Syrians attacked Turkish border
officials, burned sentry boxes and fired automatic rifles randomly
toward Turkey after being refused entry into the country, Turkish
officials said. Seven people, including three Turkish police officials
and two soldiers were wounded, said Adulhakim Ayhan, mayor of the border
town of Akcakale, on private NTV television.Syria's state-run SANA news agency said three people were wounded in a
mortar attack on the northern Damascus district of Abbasid Thursday.
The district is located near the neighborhood of Jobar, from where
rebels have been trying to push into the capital in the past weeks. In
another part of Damascus, a bomb attached to a car detonated, wounding
one man and causing material damage, SANA said.Earlier this week, two massive blasts went off in central Damascus,
which has so far been spared the scale of destruction that Aleppo and
other cities have sustained in the war.On Tuesday, a powerful bomb rocked a busy commercial district,
killing 14 people, the Syrian state TV said. A day earlier, Syria's
prime minister narrowly escaped an assassination attempt after a car
bomb struck near his convoy in a nearby area in Damascus.The bombings appear to be part of an accelerated campaign by
opposition forces seeking to strike at Assad's heavily protected seat of
power.___Associated Press writer Bassem Mroue in Beirut contributed to this report.
Benedict comes home to new house, new pope
By | Associated Press – 4 hrs ago MAY 2,13- View PhotoAssociated Press/Osservatore Romano, HO - FILE- In this March 23, 2013 file photo provided by the Vatican paper L'Osservatore Romano, Pope Francis, right, and Pope emeritus Benedict XVI meet in Castel Gandolfo.
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Emeritus Pope Benedict
XVI comes home on Thursday to a new house and a new pope, as an
unprecedented era begins of a retired pontiff living side-by-side with a
reigning one inside the Vatican gardens.All eyes will be on Benedict's physical state as he is welcomed by Pope Francis
at his new retirement home, a converted monastery tucked behind St.
Peter's Basilica. The last time he was seen by the public — March 23 —
Benedict appeared remarkably more frail and thin than when he left the Vatican on his final day as pope three weeks earlier.The Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi,
has acknowledged Benedict's post-retirement decline but insists the
86-year-old German isn't suffering from any ailment and is just old."He is a man who is not young: He is old and his strength is slowly
ebbing," Lombardi said this week. "However, there is no special illness.
He is an old man who is healthy."Since his Feb. 28 resignation,
Benedict has been "hidden to the world" as he himself predicted, living
at the papal residence in Castel Gandolfo,
in the hills south of Rome. He chose to leave the Vatican immediately
after his resignation to physically remove himself from the process of
electing his successor and from Pope Francis' first weeks as pontiff.His absence also gave workers time to finish up renovations on the
monastery on the edge of the Vatican gardens that until last year housed
groups of cloistered nuns who were invited for a few years at a time to
live inside the Vatican to pray for the pontiff and church at large.In the small building, with a chapel attached, Benedict will live
with his personal secretary, Monsignor Georg Gaenswein, and the four
consecrated women who look after him, preparing his meals and tending to
the household. Inside the small building, Benedict has at his disposal a
small library and a study. A guest room is available for when his
brother, Monsignor Georg Ratzinger, comes to visit."It is certainly small but well-equipped," Lombardi said.
When Benedict announced his intention to resign — the first pontiff to do so in 600 years — questions immediately swirled about the implications of having two popes living alongside one another inside the Vatican.Benedict fueled those concerns when he chose to be called "emeritus pope" and "Your Holiness" rather than "emeritus bishop of Rome." He also raised eyebrows when he chose to continue wearing the white cassock of the papacy.Given the political intrigues that plague the Vatican, it wasn't much of a stretch of the imagination to wonder if some cardinals, bishops and monsignors — not to mention ordinary Catholics — might continue making Benedict their point of reference rather than the new pope.However, Benedict made clear on his final day as pope that he was renouncing the job and pledged his "unconditional reverence and obedience" to his then-unknown successor. It was a pledge he repeated in person on March 23 when Francis went to have lunch with him at Castel Gandolfo.It was during that visit that the world saw how frail Benedict had become in the three weeks since his emotional departure from the Apostolic Palace: Always a man with a purposeful walk, he shuffled tentatively that day, using his cane.Francis, for his part, seems utterly unfazed by the novel situation unfolding. He has frequently invoked Benedict's name and work and has called him on a half-dozen occasions, making clear he has no intention of ignoring the fact that there's another pope still very much alive and now living on the other side of the garden from the Vatican hotel where he lives.
Francis' gestures to Benedict during that March 23 visit were also remarkable: He refused to pray on the special papal kneeler in the small chapel of Castel Gandolfo, preferring to join Benedict on a kneeler in the pews, and referring to his predecessor as his "brother."Now that they're neighbors, they might bump into one another on walks in the Vatican gardens or at the shrine to the Madonna on the top of the hill, just a stone's throw from Benedict's new home.___Follow Nicole Winfield at www.twitter.com/nwinfield
Pope Francis will be at the monastery to greet his predecessor and welcome him to his new home, just as Ratzinger had welcomed the new Pope in Castel Gandolfo on 23 March, when the two met for the first time after Bergoglio’s election. As of this afternoon, Benedict XVI will be part of the Vatican once again and for the first time ever, a reigning pope and a pope emeritus will be living just a hundred metres away from one another, making it easy for them to meet. This is a new and unprecedented situation which did initially raise some doubts. But these were quickly swept away by the humility and simplicity of the two men in question.

Pope Francis welcomes Ratzinger back to the Vatican today
Francis and Benedict XVI
Today Benedict XVI returns to the Vatican and will be moving into the Mater ecclesiae monastery
Andrea Tornielli vatican cityA German Vatican Radio broadcast has confirmed the news: Pope Francis will be present when Benedict XVI arrives in the Vatican this afternoon. The Pope Emeritus will be leaving Castel Gandolfo – the papal summer residence where he has been living for the past 62 days - by helicopter – and landing at the Vatican heliport at around 17:00. Benedict XVI will be greeted by the cardinal Secretary of State, Tarcisio Bertone and the Dean of the College of Cardinals, Angelo Sodano. The former pope will then be driven to his new and definitive residence, the Mater Ecclesiae, a former cloistered monastery just a few hundred metres from the heliport. The building has undergone restructuring work to make it a suitable living space for Benedict XVI, the four Memores Domini who will be living with him, his secretary Georg Gänswein, the Flemish deacon who has been assisting him and any other guests who may come to stay, the Pope Emeritus’ brother for example.
Pope Francis will be at the monastery to greet his predecessor and welcome him to his new home, just as Ratzinger had welcomed the new Pope in Castel Gandolfo on 23 March, when the two met for the first time after Bergoglio’s election.
