Muslim Zionist, Christian Arab Explain Islamic Hatred of Israel

A Zionist Muslim and a Christian Arab Reverend explain ‘anti-Zionism,’ call on moderate Muslim world to wake up.

By Maayana Miskin-First Publish: 6/5/2013, 12:56 PM-Israelnationalnews

Two Zionist, one a Pakistani Muslim and the other an Egyptian Christian Reverend, explained to Arutz Sheva why “anti-Zionist” has become the new code word for anti-Semitism in the Muslim world.History shows that Muslim anti-Semitism predated the state of Israel, Zionist Muslim Kasim Hafeez said. However, he explained, it is now called anti-Zionism because the term has become acceptable in the Western world.
Israel "has become an excuse" for the problems in the Muslim world, he noted.Both Hafeez and Reverend Majed El Shafie, human rights advocate and founder of One Free World International and a convert to Christianity, warned that moderate Muslims must stand up to extremist Islam.“Radical Islam is a religious supremacist ideology,” Hafeez said.If criticism of Muslim extremism is stifled, “then we’re going down a very dangerous path,” he warned.Hafeez and Shafie also discussed the impact of Islam on Europe, persecution of Arab Christians, and Muslim reactions to their criticism.

Palestinians to pursue Israel at UN if talks fail

By MOHAMMED DARAGHMEH | Associated Press – 3 hrs ago JUNE 4,13

RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) — With no signs of progress in U.S attempts to restart peace talks with Israel, the chief Palestinian negotiator said Tuesday that the West Bank government is ready to resume its campaign to join U.N. and other international bodies in order to prosecute Israel.The remarks by Saeb Erekat came ahead of U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry's trip to the region next week for consultations. The trip will be the fifth to the area since Kerry took office early this year and promised to launch a fresh effort to restart negotiations.Talks collapsed nearly five years ago over the issue of construction in Jewish settlements built in captured areas Palestinians claim for a future state. Palestinians say they will not talk until construction in settlements is stopped.Israel says settlements, along with other core issues, should be resolved in peace talks and that negotiations should begin immediately.The Palestinians claim the West Bank, east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip for their state. Israel captured the three areas in the 1967 Mideast war. Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005. The Palestinians say the pre-1967 lines should be the baseline for talks on a final border.While Israel's current government rejects a return to the 1967 lines, the international community has overwhelmingly endorsed the Palestinian position. Last fall, the Palestinians won recognition in the U.N. General Assembly as a nonmember state in the territories captured by Israel in 1967.This upgraded status, though largely symbolic, gave the Palestinians an upgraded diplomatic status that allows them access to key U.N. bodies. The move was condemned by the U.S and Israel, who viewed it as an attempt to bypass negotiations for an agreement.A main Israeli concern is that the Palestinians will seek membership in the International Criminal Court, where they will press war crimes charges against Israel.
Kerry has urged both sides to avoid provocative measures, telling Israel to curtail settlement construction and the Palestinians to put their campaign for international recognition on hold.Speaking to international diplomats Tuesday, Erekat blamed the Israelis for the lack of progress, citing Israel's refusal to accept the 1967 lines as the basis for talks. The Palestinians say the final border can be slightly modified through negotiated land swaps in order for Israel to keep some of its settlements. Two such proposals by previous Israeli governments failed to result in a peace accord."We want to negotiate. We have given Mr. Kerry our maps and answered him every question he asked," Erekat said.He warned that the Palestinians' patience is wearing thin."We have the full right of our instrument of access to all U.N. agencies. And those who worry about international courts should stop committing crimes," he said. "It took us six months to prepare, but I can say now that all our instruments of accession are ready."Israeli officials refused to comment on Erekat's threat.
Kerry has not set a formal deadline for reaching a framework for peace talks, but he has signaled that he will float a formal proposal in the coming weeks.In a speech to American Jewish leaders in Washington on Monday, Kerry warned that time was running thin."Resolving this conflict for both sides can have far-reaching benefits that will be in everybody's interest. And the reverse is also true: Not resolving this will result in serious consequences for both," he said.Echoing Kerry's warnings, the outgoing head of the Bank of Israel, Stanley Fischer, urged the government to do its utmost to pursue peace, saying the current state of conflict and heavy defense expenditures were hurting the economy. "We must also try to find other solutions, and try to achieve a peace agreement with our neighbors, including with the Palestinians," Fischer told a parliamentary committee.The comments Monday were unusual because Fischer rarely wades into politics. Fischer, an internationally respected U.S.-educated economist, steps down this month after eight years as head of Israel's central bank.Fischer criticized Israelis who say that there is no Palestinian partner for peace. "We must look for the partners for peace. Until we reach agreements, it will cost us more since we will need to reinforce our readiness," he said.Fischer said Israel would benefit from a peace accord. "We must, therefore, find a way to act more proactively in order to stop the conflict that has continued here for far too long," he said.

Israeli official: Palestinians unwilling for talks

By IAN DEITCH | Associated Press – 4 hrs ago JUNE 5,13

JERUSALEM (AP) — A senior Israeli official criticized the Palestinians on Wednesday, saying they are unwilling to talk peace despite a renewed push by the United States and Israel to restart long stalled negotiations.Instead, Palestinians are opting to pursue a strategy of international recognition alone, said Deputy Foreign Minister Zeev Elkin. He made the remarks ahead of another attempt by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry to revive peace talks when he returns to the region next week."Israel is ready and willing to resume direct peace talks at any moment, it can be done today, tomorrow, in Jerusalem, in Ramallah, in Rome, anywhere in the world," Elkin told Israel Radio."The world is waiting now for Abu Mazen," he added, referring to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas by his nickname.Talks collapsed in 2008 over Jewish settlement building in areas Palestinians demand for their future state. Palestinians are refusing to resume talks unless construction ends.Israel says settlements, along with all the other core issues such as borders and security, should be resolved in negotiations without preconditions."Abu Mazen hopes to continue the unilateral track as long as he thinks the international community supports it ... he has no reason to resume negotiations," Elkin also said. "Today the world understands more and more that this is where the problem is and is adopting our formula of peace talks without preconditions."The Palestinians claim the West Bank, east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip for their future state. Israel captured the three areas in the 1967 Mideast war from Jordan. Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005.Last year, the Palestinians won recognition in the U.N. General Assembly as a nonmember state in those territories.Although it is mostly symbolic, the upgraded status at the U.N. granted the Palestinians an upgraded diplomatic status that allows them access to key bodies of the world organization.The U.S and Israel viewed the move as an attempt to bypass negotiations with Israel for a peace agreement.One of Israel's main concerns is that the Palestinians will seek membership in the International Criminal Court where they could press war crimes charges against Israel.The Palestinians chief negotiator Saeb Erekat on Tuesday told international diplomats that he blames the Israelis for the lack of progress, citing Israel's refusal to accept the 1967 lines as the basis for talks.Erekat said that if talks fail then the Palestinians are ready to resume their campaign to join U.N. and other international bodies in order to prosecute Israel.Kerry is to return to the Mideast next week for consultations with the two sides. It will be his fifth trip to the area since he took office early this year and promised to launch a fresh effort to restart negotiations.Kerry has not set a formal deadline for reaching a framework for peace talks, but he has signaled that he will float a formal proposal in the coming weeks.

Blair: There is a Problem Within Islam

Former British PM warns that he sees a built-in problem "within Islam" that leads to extremism.

Quartet Envoy Tony Blair-Flash 90

There is a problem within Islam that goes beyond the existence of religious extremists, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair has posited in what seems like a change in perception, writing in the Daily Mail.
“There is a problem within Islam – from the adherents of an ideology that is a strain within Islam. We have to put it on the table and be honest about it,” wrote Blair, who currently serves as Special Envoy to the Middle East.“Of course there are Christian extremists and Jewish, Buddhist and Hindu ones. But I am afraid this strain is not the province of a few [Islamic] extremists. It has at its heart a view about religion and about the interaction between religion and politics that is not compatible with pluralistic, liberal, open-minded societies,” he continued.“At the extreme end of the spectrum are terrorists, but the world view goes deeper and wider than it is comfortable for us to admit. So by and large we don’t admit it,” he added.His comments were made in wake of the murder of British soldier Lee Rigby, who was beheaded by Muslim extremists in an unprovoked attack on a London street in broad daylight.

EU elections could usher in radical nationalist and anti-EU parties

Today @ 14:43 JUNE 5,13

By Lisbeth Kirk

The elections could result in a drastic change in the landscape of European democracy, the pollster said when “EU Election 2014 countdown: One year to go” in Brussels on Wednesday (5 June).The survey covers six, mainly northern, European member states: Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland and the UK. None of the bail-out countries or crisis-hit southern European countries, such as Spain and Italy, was included.But even in the relatively better-off northern European member states, the EU is perceived by the public "more and more as an external threat and not as the common European institution defending their interests," Gallup found."Instead of seeing EU as part of the solution, more and more people around in the European Union see it as part of the problem," Managing Director of Gallup Europe Robert Manchin said at the presentation of the survey.

French doubts

The survey shows that the unease is widespread, including among those countries traditionally considered at the heart of the EU project, such as France.A majority of French (62%) think that things are going in the wrong direction in the EU, and less than 1 in five (17%) think they are going in the right direction.The French were the most critical of their own leadership in the EU (51%). Despite regular protests in Europe, the situation is better for Germany. In all countries surveyed, a majority approved Germany’s leadership. The highest rate of approval was in Germany itself (54%) and the lowest in the UK (36%).But even inside Germany, support for the European Union is volatile. If a referendum was held next week on whether Germany should leave the EU, just half of Germans say they would vote to stay (49%) while one in three (31%) say they would vote to leave.Right-leaning voters in Germany are in general more hostile to the EU than left-leaning voters, indicating how Chancellor Angela Merkel could get challenged by the new eurosceptic Alternative for Germany.The changes are not expected to be so drastic that the current leadership of the European Parliament (the centre-right and centre-left are currently the two biggest factions) is at stake."They will still rule. The question is who will be their candidates and what will be their line. Being a non-partisan citizen, I just hope that they would listen", Robert Manchin said.

Low turnout

Despite plans for political parties to nominate a candidate for European Commission President in the next European elections, there may once again be a low turnout.The turnout has been declining since constituencies elected directly the European Parliament for the first time in 1979, and hit its lowest point (43%) in 2009.The best showing in next year's election can be expected in Denmark, where 78 percent say they would go and vote if the election were next week. In Poland, by contrast, 63 percent said they would not bother to go to the urns.A year before the actual elections, this says less about the turnout to be expected next year, and more about the electorate’s current level of concern. If sustained, however, it could mobilize voters, Gallup concludes.Meanwhile nationality seems to matter, when it comes to election a president of the European Commission.Gallup’s findings show that a Romanian candidate would be an issue for a relative majority of voters in Denmark (13%), France (10%) and Germany (12%). An equal share of German voters would oppose a candidate from Greece.In the Netherlands, a relative majority would abstain from voting for a party if the candidate was Bulgarian (15%). Meanwhile, a majority of Britons said that if the suggested candidate was British, they would not vote for the political party concerned (13%). The same was true in Poland (13%) and the Netherlands regarding a candidate from their own country (15%).In none of the countries surveyed would a Luxembourgish, Finnish, Belgian or Swedish candidate face such opposition.

EU exit - UK only

When asked how they would vote if a referendum were held next week on whether their country should leave the European Union, it was only in the UK that a majority said they would vote to leave the EU (55%).
The Netherlands is split: 39 percent would vote to leave the EU and 39 percent would vote to stay. In the other states covered in the survey, a majority of respondents say they would vote to remain in the EU.
The survey was conducted in May 2013 among 1,500 individuals in each of the six countries.

Hagel, NATO ministers talk Syria chemical weapons

By LOLITA C. BALDOR | Associated Press – 20 mins ago JUNE 5,13

BRUSSELS (AP) — New reports that the French confirmed the use of sarin gas in Syria triggered discussions here on the sidelines of the meeting of NATO defense ministers, but the alliance is still refusing to make any contingency plans for operations in the embattled country.Unwilling to get drawn collectively in to a protracted civil war, NATO nations instead are making individual decisions on how best to aid the rebels trying to overthrow President Bashar Assad's regime.But while France's announcement about the proof of chemical weapons use has not been a major focus of the discussions, it has been raised in during meetings between the ministers, according to a U.S. official.Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel met with the French and British and Canadian ministers Tuesday evening and the issue came up during that session, according to a U.S. official. The official, who was not authorized to speak publicly about the meeting so requested anonymity, said that the ministers agreed to continue to monitor the situation, but did not decide on any specific actions.Hagel said during a news conference Wednesday that he has not seen the evidence other than a reference the French minister made about it during their meeting. He said the French did not request any specific actions by the U.S. in regard to Syria.Hagel also said that NATO's role continues to be to help protect alliance members such as Turkey, "but beyond that we didn't get into any additional war plans regarding Syria."NATO officials have said that while they are concerned about the deteriorating situation in Syria, there is virtually no chance the alliance will become involved."We have been told not to plan at this point," U.S. Air Force Gen. Philip Breedlove, the top NATO commander, told reporters at the start of the two-day meeting. He added that NATO has already acted to defend Turkey by placing three Patriot missile batteries."In making sure we are well positioned to execute the defense of an ally we have done that, but beyond that we will not plan," Breedlove said, until he gets a formal directive from NATO's governing both, the North Atlantic Council.At a NATO meeting of foreign ministers in April, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry urged NATO to put contingency plans in place to guard against the use of chemical weapons in Syria.

Other nations, however, are reluctant to wade into the conflict. In Turkey, anti-government protests have erupted in a town hit by car bombs near the Syrian border, and Turks have accused their leaders of putting the country's security at risk by backing the Syrian rebels.On Tuesday, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said tests carried out by a French laboratory confirmed that sarin gas has been used multiple times and at least once by Syrian government forces and their accomplices. Earlier Tuesday, a U.N. panel said there were "reasonable grounds" to believe limited quantities of toxic chemicals were used as weapons in at least four attacks in Syria's civil war, but that more evidence was needed to determine the precise chemical agents involved and who used them.Hagel told reporters traveling with him before the Brussels meeting that the U.S. will continue to work with allies, and that "we remain committed to even putting more resources in the non-lethal assistance for opposition forces."The Obama administration has tried, but so far failed, to convince Russia to end its support for the Assad government.A diplomatic delegation to Moscow last month presented intelligence suggesting that Assad's government used chemical weapons on its own people, officials said Tuesday. But the officials said the intelligence failed to convince Russian officials and prompted no change in the Kremlin's support for Assad — a disappointment for the U.S., considering the promises of closer cooperation after several recent meetings and conversations between Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.The U.S. officials were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter so they requested anonymity.

France, Britain confirm use of sarin gas in Syria

By GREG KELLER and KARIN LAUB | Associated Press – 33 mins ago JUNE 4,13

PARIS (AP) — France said Tuesday it has confirmed that the nerve gas sarin was used "multiple times and in a localized way" in Syria, including at least once by the regime. It was the most specific claim by any Western power about chemical weapons attacks in the 27-month-old conflict.Britain later said that tests it conducted on samples taken from Syria also were positive for sarin.The back-to-back announcements left many questions unanswered, highlighting the difficulties of confirming from a distance whether combatants in Syria have crossed the "red line" set by President Barack Obama. The regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad has refused to allow U.N. investigators into the country.The French and British findings, based on samples taken from Syria, came hours after a U.N. team said it had "reasonable grounds" to suspect small-scale use of toxic chemicals in at least four attacks in March and April.The U.N. probe was conducted from outside Syria's borders, based on interviews with doctors and witnesses of purported attacks and a review of amateur videos from Syria. The team said solid evidence will remain elusive until inspectors can collect samples from victims directly or from the sites of alleged attacks.Some experts cautioned that the type of evidence currently available to investigators — videos, witness reports and physiological samples of uncertain origin — leaves wide doubts.At the same time, forensic evidence of alleged chemical weapons use is fading away with time, and the longer U.N. inspectors are kept out of Syria, the harder it will be to collect conclusive proof, they said.Syria is suspected of having one of the world's largest chemical weapons arsenals, including mustard and nerve gas, such as sarin. In recent weeks, the regime and those trying to topple Assad have increasingly used accusations of chemical weapons as a propaganda tool, but have offered no solid proof.In the West, meanwhile, the lack of certainty about such allegations is linked to a high stakes political debate over whether the U.S. should get more involved in the Syria conflict, including by arming those fighting Assad.Obama has been reluctant to send weapons to the Syrian rebels, in part because of the presence of Islamic militants among them. Obama has warned that the use of chemical weapons or their transfer to a terrorist group would cross a "red line," hinting at forceful intervention in such an event.
Yet he has insisted on a high level of proof, including a "chain of custody," that can only come from on-site investigations currently being blocked by the regime.In Tuesday's announcement about sarin, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said his government had analyzed several samples, including some brought back from Syria by reporters from the Le Monde newspaper.He said that there was "no doubt" that at least in one case, the regime and its allies were responsible for the attack. "We have integrally traced the chain, from the attack, to the moment people were killed, to when the samples were taken and analyzed," Fabius told the TV station France 2.He said a line was crossed and that "all options are on the table," including intervening "militarily where the gas is produced or stored."In London, Britain's Foreign Office said samples from Syria were tested at a government laboratory and the presence of sarin was confirmed. It did not say when or where the samples were obtained.Britain has evidence suggesting a number of different chemical agents have been used, "sometimes including sarin, sometimes not," said Britain's ambassador to the United Nations, Mark Lyall Grant.White House spokesman Jay Carney, speaking before the British announcement, said the French report is "entirely consistent" with the Obama administration's own findings, but added more work needs to be done to establish who is responsible for the use of the toxic substances and when they were used."We need more information," he said.Russia, meanwhile, has rejected intelligence the U.S. provided last month suggesting the Assad regime used chemical weapons on its own people, American officials said. A U.S. diplomatic delegation that was sent to Moscow failed to persuade Russian officials and prompted no change in the Kremlin's support for Assad, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to speak publicly on the matter.Experts disagreed on whether the latest chemical weapons allegations mean Obama's red line has been crossed."The verdict is still open," said Jean Pascal Zanders, an independent chemical weapons consultant, speaking before the French and British announcements.Zanders said that while claims of chemical weapons use cannot be ignored, the details of the alleged attacks often don't correspond to the purported symptoms shown in videos or reported by witnesses.Analyst Michael Eisenstadt said he believes Obama's red line "has indeed been crossed on a number of times, as there are persistent reports of limited, continued use of chemical weapons from various sources that seem fairly credible."The French findings give additional weight to previous suspicions, though "people will want to know about the chain of custody for the evidence," said Eisenstadt, of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy think tank.Since allegations of the use of chemical weapons first emerged late last year, the U.N. has investigated on two separate tracks, while France, Britain, Turkey and the U.S. have conducted additional probes.The team appointed by the Human Rights Council has issued periodic updates about suspected war crimes in Syria, and Tuesday's report dealt with chemical weapons, among a wide range of topics.Separately, U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon appointed a U.N. team headed by Swedish chemical weapons experts Ake Sellstrom after the Syrian government asked for an investigation of a purported rebel attack on March 19 on the village of Khan al-Assal, near the northern city of Aleppo.Syrian soldiers were reportedly killed, and the regime insisted that the U.N. probe be limited to that incident.Ban wants a broader investigation, including a December incident in the central city of Homs in which opposition activists claimed six rebels died after inhaling white smoke pouring from shells fired in the area. Britain and France have also pushed to widen Sellstrom's mandate, sending Ban information on additional alleged incidents.Such allegations are typically based on three types of information that can be obtained without having investigators go into Syria — amateur videos, witness accounts and physiological samples.Witnesses and doctors have been interviewed by Skype or after fleeing Syria, while Turkey, Britain and France have analyzed samples that were either smuggled out of the country or taken from suspected victims after they were hospitalized outside Syria.The Obama administration also referred to such samples when it said in an April letter to two U.S. senators that the U.S. intelligence community had determined, with "varying degrees of confidence," that the regime has used chemical weapons on a small scale, specifically the nerve gas sarin.However, the administration cautioned that intelligence assessments are not sufficient, citing the stakes involved.Claims of chemical weapons attacks also pose a dilemma for journalists.Some of the videos posted by activists have shown rows of people lying in what appear to be makeshift hospitals, breathing with the aid of oxygen masks, sometimes twitching as they struggle to breathe.Such videos are often consistent with AP reporting of attacks in that area, but claims that chemical weapons were involved are impossible to verify. The regime continues to bar most independent reporting from areas of fighting.For example, activists alleged that on May 24, troops fired two rockets with poisonous gas at the rebel-held town of Adra near the capital Damascus, killing three people and wounding more than 40.Amateur video from a makeshift clinic in the nearby town of Douma where victims were being treated showed young men lying on the floor, some of them twitching as medics poured water on their bodies.The AP did not report the incident at the time because of the difficulty of confirming the claims. A local reporter who visited the area several days later to interview a doctor and a rebel commander found the evidence was not clear-cut.A doctor at the Douma clinic who identified himself only by his first name, Seif, for fear of regime retribution, said 60 victims arrived that day and six of them died."It was the scariest thing I saw, people came in with strange symptoms like blurred vision, dilated pupils, teary eyes," he told The Associated Press. "Some had running saliva or were foaming at the mouth."Abu Khaled al-Ijweh, a commander of the Lions of Ghouta Brigade, a rebel unit, said he witnessed the attack. He said regime forces fired two suspicious projectiles and fighters started to throw up, with some struggling to walk and dropping to the ground. Al-Ijweh said he managed the symptoms by wearing a mask, drinking vinegar and a liter of water.In some cases, there is no way to reconcile the opposing narratives.On April 19, activists said the government bombed the northern town of Saraqeb with chemical agents that caused respiratory problems and other symptoms in people who were exposed to them. The state news agency claimed "terrorists" brought bags of an unknown white powder to Saraqeb and opened them. It said the terrorists — the regime's term for the rebels — then transported the injured to Turkish hospitals to "accuse the Syrian armed troops of using chemical weapons."Zanders, the chemical weapons expert, counseled extreme caution.He noted claims often don't match the symptoms. Other options, while also conjecture, should at least be considered, such as shells inadvertently hitting shops or homes where chemicals are stored, or the regime using tear gas to instill fear at a time of heightened awareness about the dangers of chemical weapons."It becomes a self-reinforcing echo chamber," he said.___Laub reported from Beirut.

Syrian rebels lose strategic town, bolstering Assad

By Erika Solomon | Reuters – 40 mins ago JUNE 5,13

By Erika Solomon

BEIRUT (Reuters) - Syrian forces and their Lebanese Hezbollah allies seized control of the border town of Qusair on Wednesday, dealing a strategic defeat to rebel fighters battling for two years to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad.Outgunned rebels said they had retreated from Qusair, which lies on a vital cross-border supply route with Lebanon, after two weeks of fierce battles that marked the Shi'ite Hezbollah group's deepest involvement yet in Syria's civil war.A Hezbollah fighter told Reuters the town had fallen in a rapid overnight offensive, allowing tanks and troops to roll into the rubble-strewn streets after dawn, with many buildings in the city center reduced to mounds of twisted concrete."We will not hesitate to crush with an iron fist those who attack us. ... Their fate is surrender or death," the Syrian armed forces command said in statement. "We will continue our string of victories until we regain every inch of Syrian land."Hezbollah's Al-Manar television showed a man climbing the bullet-pocked clock-tower in the town's wrecked and mangled central square to plant a Syrian flag.Bolstered by his Iranian and Russian backers, Assad's forces have launched a series of counter-offensives in recent weeks against mainly Sunni Muslim rebels battling to overthrow him and end his minority Alawite family's four-decade grip on power.A member of a pro-Assad Syrian militia said the military focus may now move to the northern province of Aleppo, which has been largely in rebel hands for the last year.Assad's upturn in fortunes could further diminish hopes of concessions at a peace conference the United States and Russia are seeking to convene, with Damascus increasingly confident of success against a ragtag opposition that is short of weapons.Qusair had been in rebel hands for more than a year, denying Assad an important corridor through the central province of Homs which links Damascus to the coastal heartland of Assad's minority Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shi'ite Islam."Whoever controls Qusair controls the center of the country, and whoever controls the center of the country controls all of Syria," said Syrian Brigadier-General Yahya Suleiman, speaking to Beirut-based Mayadeen television.

ESCAPE ROUTE
More than 80,000 people have been killed since the Syrian revolt erupted in March 2011, and 1.6 million refugees have fled a conflict which has fueled sectarian tensions across the Middle East, spilled over into Lebanon and divided world powers.U.S. and Russian officials were due to meet the U.N.-Arab League envoy for Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi, in Geneva later on Wednesday to discuss plans for the planned peace conference.Syrian artillery and aircraft had pounded Qusair in recent days and humanitarian agencies warned earlier this week that as many as 1,500 wounded were trapped in the town. Their fate was not immediately clear.The International Committee of the Red Cross said it hoped to gain access to Qusair to deliver food and medical aid to civilians. Syrian authorities had told the ICRC this week that its aid workers could enter once military operations were over.The rebels said in a statement they had pulled out "in face of this huge arsenal (of pro-Assad forces) and a lack of supplies and the blatant intervention of Hezbollah ... Dozens of fighters stayed behind and ensured the withdrawal of their comrades along with the civilians".Assad's forces had left an escape route into Debaa and the Lebanese border town of Arsal to encourage rebel fighters to quit Qusair, once home to some 30,000 people, said a security source with ties to Syrian forces.A rebel commander in contact with the brigades that retreated said the decision to withdraw was taken after a day of rocket fire from the Syrian army and Hezbollah that "leveled what had remained" of Qusair. "An exit remained open from the north and the fighters took a decision to leave from there."In the Hezbollah stronghold of southern Beirut, residents set off celebratory fireworks as news of Qusair's fall spread.
In the Lebanese town of Qasr close to Syria, crowds waved Hezbollah and Syrian flags in jubilation. Locals distributed sweets to mark the rebel defeat just across the border.A senior Lebanese political source close to Hezbollah said the victory was a strategic success that would boost the morale of Assad's allies. He suggested that Hezbollah would not necessarily intervene directly in other battles but might offer indirect help to the Syrian army."The battle will continue in all regions, but I believe Aleppo (will be) first," he said.
Underlining a possible further spillover of the conflict into Lebanon, the commander of the rebel Free Syria Army warned that it might target Hezbollah on its home turf."Hezbollah fighters are invading Syrian territory. And when they continue to do that and the Lebanese authorities don't take any action to stop them coming to Syria, I think we are allowed to fight Hezbollah fighters inside (Lebanese) territory," Salim Idriss told the BBC.(Additional reporting by Laila Bassam and Mariam Karouny in Beirut, and Khaled Yacoub Oweis in Amman; Writing by Dominic Evans and Erika Solomon; Editing by Crispian Balmer and Alistair Lyon)

Hamas Slams ‘Illegal’ New PA Government

Hamas angered by new PA leadership, accuses Fatah of prolonging dispute.

PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas-Flash 90

The Hamas government in Gaza has slammed Fatah for creating a new Palestinian Authority government.
PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas has tasked Rami Hamdallah with serving as Prime Minister and putting together a new cabinet. Hamdallah is expected to announce his cabinet on Thursday.Abbas’ move “proves that the Fatah leadership is willing to maintain and prolong the state of disagreement,” read a Hamas statement printed by Maan news.Hamas sources noted that they have no objections to Hamdallah in particular. Their objection is over the fact that a new government does not include Hamas and was created unilaterally, they said.Fatah and Hamas held joint control of the PA following Hamas’ victory in the PA elections of 2006. In 2007 Hamas ousted Fatah from Gaza in a short but bloody conflict and established its own government in the area. Fatah took control of the PA government based in Ramallah and continued to rule Judea and Samaria (Shomron).The two warring groups have held negotiations several times, but have yet to reach an agreement. Abbas has claimed that the ongoing dispute prevents him from holding new PA elections, and in lieu of elections, has kept his seat for the past several years despite the expiration of his term in early 2009.In its statement Wednesday Hamas also rejected United States Secretary of State John Kerry’s latest call on Israel and the PA to hold talks. Kerry has “dangerous plots,” the group warned.

El Reno, Oklahoma Tornado Believed To Be Widest Twister On Record

By SEAN MURPHY 06/04/13 05:31 PM ET EDT

OKLAHOMA CITY — The deadly tornado that struck near Oklahoma City late last week had a record-breaking width of 2.6 miles and was the second top-of-the-scale EF5 twister to hit the area in less than two weeks, the National Weather Service reported Tuesday.The weather service initially rated the tornado that hit El Reno on Friday as an EF3. But the agency upgraded the ranking after surveying damage, and determined the storm packed winds reaching 295 mph. Eighteen people died in the storm, including three storm chasers, and its subsequent flooding.Deep in the heart of Tornado Alley, the Oklahoma City area also saw an EF5 tornado on May 20. That one raked Moore, a suburb that's 25 miles away from El Reno, and killed 24 people. In 1999, Moore was hit by another EF5 with the strongest winds ever measured on earth: 302 mph.Friday's massive tornado avoided highly populated metro areas, a fact forecasters said likely saved lives. Winds were at their most powerful in areas devoid of structures, said Rick Smith, chief warning coordination meteorologist for the weather service's office in Norman."Any house would have been completely swept clean on the foundation. That's just my speculation," Smith said. "We're looking at extremes ... in the rare EF5 category. This in the super rare category because we don't deal with things like this often."The stretch between El Reno and Union City that the twister spun through is mostly rural farm and grazing land. Most of the destruction came toward the end of the tornado's 16.2-mile path along Interstate 40, where several motorists were killed when their vehicles were tossed around.Like many Midwestern cities, the Oklahoma City metropolitan area continues to expand thanks to the suburbs, but the rapid growth hasn't quite reached as far west as where Friday's tornado tracked.William Hooke, a senior policy fellow of the American Meteorological Society, said the continued expansion of cities in the most tornado-prone areas makes it only a matter of time before one hits a heavily populated area."You dodged a bullet," Hooke said. "You lay that path over Oklahoma City, and you have devastation of biblical proportions."It's only a matter of time."El Reno Mayor Matt White said that while his city of 18,000 residents suffered significant damage – including its vocational-technical center and a cattle stockyard that was reduced to a pile of twisted metal – he said it could have been much worse had the violent twister tracked to the north."If it was two more miles this way, it would have wiped out all of downtown, almost every one of our subdivisions and almost all of our businesses," White said. "It would have taken out everything."The EF5 storm that hit Moore decimated neighborhoods."It's very scary ... I don't think a normal person can fathom just how scary," White said." I don't think they realize how lucky El Reno was."Smith said the storm's 2.6-mile-wide path – besting a record set in 2004 in Hallam, Neb. – would have made the storm hard to recognize up close."A two-and-a-half mile wide tornado would not look like a tornado to a lot of people," Smith said.Greg Carbin, a meteorologist for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Storm Prediction Center in Norman, said May in Oklahoma is a time of transition, offering the perfect fuel for violent thunderstorms that can produce tornadoes – a combination of warm, moist air combined with cooler jet stream energy that causes massive instability in the atmosphere."In these past two events, we've had a lot of unstable air sitting around, a lot of moisture and warm air," Carbin said. "That provides the fuel for thunderstorm development."___Associated Press writer Jill Bleed in Little Rock, Ark., contributed to this report.___Sean Murphy can be reached at www.twitter.com/apseanmurphy

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

Flooding forces evacuations in Germany, Czech Rep

By KAREL JANICEK | Associated Press – 2 hrs 35 mins ago JUNE 5,13

PRAGUE (AP) — A raging flood wave that inundated parts of Prague is now heading north toward Germany, forcing the evacuation of thousands of people and leading to concerns about the safety of chemical plants.More than 19,000 people have been evacuated from the flooding that has affected half of the Czech Republic, said firefighters spokeswoman Nicole Zaoralova.Some 3,000 people had to leave their homes in Usti nad Labem on the Elbe river near the German border where the waters were still on the rise Wednesday. High waters have already submerged parts of the city as well many other towns along the Elbe, the biggest river in the country.They are also threatening major chemical factories, including one that released toxic chemicals into the Elbe during the devastating floods of 2002. The plants have been shut down as a precaution and chemicals removed, authorities said.Czech public television said a barrier that protects one chemical plant in Lovosice was leaking Wednesday and it was not immediately clear if it might be completely flooded.Rising river levels threatened vast parts of eastern and southern Germany and hundreds of people were being evacuated in the city of Dresden.On Wednesday morning, the Elbe stood at 8.3 meters (27 feet) in Dresden, compared with its normal level of 2 meters (6 ½ feet). Authorities were expecting the crest of the flood to hit the city in the eastern state of Saxony in the evening.In the eastern city of Halle, the downtown area was already flooded. Elsewhere in the affected regions, soldiers and residents were reinforcing soaked levees with sand bags to keep them from breaking.The water was slowly receding in the hard-hit Bavarian city of Passau, leaving behind vast amounts of debris.In the Czech capital, the level of the Vltava river continued dropping as authorities surveyed the damage.Prague's Zoo was particularly badly hit for a second time in 11 years. This year's spike in water levels has been far less than in 2002 but the zoo estimated the damage at $8 million as major reconstruction will be needed once again.The lower side of the park was submerged and animals had to be evacuated. The zoo announced it would reopen the higher parts to the public on Wednesday. "The flood will not break us," it said in a statement.___Kirsten Grieshaber contributed to this story from Berlin.
