Christians Urge Facebook to Remove 'Virgin Mary Should've Aborted' Page

A group of concerned Christians are calling on Facebook to remove a page that promotes the notion that the Virgin Mary of the Bible should have received an abortion. (Facebook)
A group of concerned Christians is calling on Facebook to remove a page that promotes the notion that the Virgin Mary of the Bible should have received an abortion. Titled “Virgin Mary Should’ve Aborted,” the administrator of the page claims to “explain what really happened in the biblical times, since the bible is full of lies.”With just over 5,000 "likes," Celene Schartner of Australia says the page not only demeans what Christians believe but is slanderous and hateful. It diminishes the right to life of every unborn infant in its mother’s womb by its very title and statement.“Many Christians worldwide are so distressed at the attempts to diminish Christian values and the slanderous attacks on the Bible,” Schartner says. “If people don’t believe, that’s their choice, but they need to learn respect for the choices of others.”Schartner encourages others to join the protest by signing a petition that encourages the popular social media site to ban the page. As of the time of this release, more than 15,000 concerned Christians have signed the petition.
“I would never demean another Christian’s faith or presume I have the right to do so, regardless of what they believe,” Schartner says.As U.S. spokesman for "Catholics & Protestants Against FB Religious Discrimination," Cary Bogue denounces the Virgin Mary page as “beyond offensive.”“No Christian anywhere can consider this just ‘free speech.’ This has deliberately been set up to offend and attack,” Bogue says.Bogue maintains the page clearly is in violation of Facebook’s own policy, which states, “While we encourage you to challenge ideas, institutions, events and practices, we do not permit individuals or groups to attack others based on their religion.”Bogue believes Facebook has created an automated response to complaints about the page, claiming it does not consider it an attack on a religion.“That is just absurd. All we are asking is Facebook adhere to its own guidelines,” Bogue says.The protesting group has created its own Facebook page requesting “Virgin Mary Should’ve Aborted” be removed.

Saar: 10,000 Signups Can't Be Wrong About Biometric IDs

That 10,000 Israelis have signed up for biometric ID cards proves there's nothing to fear from them, says Interior Minister Gideon Saar-By David Lev-First Publish: 8/8/2013, 1:36 PM-israelnationalnews

Biometric database in action
Biometric database in action-Flash 90
Over ten thousand Israelis have signed up for a pilot project that provides them with a “smart” Israeli identity card that includes biometric information. The project is now operating in over a dozen cities, and is currently voluntary, although it is likely to become mandatory in the future.The project opened about a month ago, and so far the response to it has been very positive and welcome, said Population Authority officials. Residents of the thirteen towns where the program is currently operating can go to their local Population Registry offices, submit their fingerprints and have their photos taken by a special camera that will analyze their facial characteristics, and be issued a smart identity card. More cities are to be added in the coming weeks, and by the end of the year the program will be operating in 28 cities.The benefit for Israelis, according to the Interior Ministry, is that they will receive an identity card that will be next to impossible to duplicate, and will put a stop to instances of identity theft and fake ID cards.According to the Ministry, tens of thousands of illegal workers and illegal PA Arabs are using phony ID cards, either totally fabricated or using real information about Israelis. Over 130,000 ID cards are lost or stolen each year, the Ministry said, constituting a major security threat that can be solved by the biometric cards.The new program is voluntary, and is a pilot program designed to allow officials to determine if there are any problems with the biometric system. The program has been a controversial one; the law authorizing implementation of the biometric database was passed in 2009, but was challenged immediately by activists and privacy groups, as well as numerous MKs.
Among the reasons for opposition to the program, which will gather intimate details on Israelis, is the possibility that the data could be stolen, or even worse, used by the government to impose controls on individuals by limiting their access to services, and tracking them using biometric information.“The information is well protected and will prevent identity theft,” Interior Minister Gideon Sa'ar said. Regarding the fears that the information could be used in a negative manner, Sa'ar said that “there is no basis for the panic that has taken hold of some. The numbers of those requesting the cards is evidence of the faith the public has in the program, and its understanding the great need to defend individuals against identity theft and to ensure that we remain at the forefront of technology,”Disagreeing with Sa'ar was Labor Party head MK Shelly Yechimovich, who said that implementation of the program would cause “irreversible damage” to Israel. “You can cancel credit cards that have been stolen, you can change a password that has been compromised, but you cannot change your fingerprints and face,” she said, pointing out the risks in holding such information in a database that would be a major attraction for hackers. “We all know that it is just a matter of time before corporations or hostile forces get hold of this information. The information will no doubt be used in a negative manner and will endanger many Israelis, such as IDF soldiers who will also have to give over their details in the program.”

Feiglin: I Won't Let Up on Temple Mount

MK Moshe Feiglin: MKs must keep up the pressure on Netanyahu in order to restore Israeli sovereignty on the Temple Mount.-By Elad Benari & Eliran Aharon-First Publish: 8/8/2013, 1:16 AM-inn

MK Moshe Feiglin-Flash 90
Dozens were in attendance on Tuesday evening for American for a Safe Israel’s (AFSI) annual memorial tribute to Ze’ev Jabotinsky, which was held in New York.Speakers included AFSI Chairman and regular Arutz Sheva op-ed contributor Mark Langfan, Rabbi Pesach Lerner, Executive VP Emeritus of the National Council Young Israel. The final speaker was Likud MK Moshe Feiglin.Speaking to Arutz Sheva during the event, MK Feiglin brought up the issue of Jews not being allowed to worship on the Temple Mount and promised that he will not let Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu alone until this issue is taken care of.

“It’s not only me who's not allowed on the Temple Mount,” he pointed out. “The entire Interior Affairs Committee of the Knesset, led by Miri Regev, asked to go and was not allowed.”Feiglin said that it appears as though Netanyahu “has agreed to officially give away sovereignty of the Temple Mount to the Muslims as part of an agreement which is being prepared behind our backs.”He called on other MKs, in the Likud and in the Bayit Yehudi, to stand up and take action in order to restore Israel’s sovereignty on the Temple Mount, by voting against the coalition, as he had done with the budget.Langfan, who put together a series of maps explaining the dangers of Israel giving away parts of Judea and Samaria to the Arabs, told Arutz Sheva that a safe Israel means a safe America.“Israel is the tip of America’s sphere in the Middle East, and if Israel is somehow harmed, what will be harmed is not just Israel but the entire Western civilization,” he warned.
“I see Israel as the very element that is saving Western civilization from being washed by a terrible Islamic tidal wave,” said Langfan.“The Arab Spring did not begin in January of 2011,” he added. “The Arab Spring began in 1948, when there were Jews in the British Mandate. Those Jews brought light unto the Arabs and unto everyone that was around that area.”Also speaking to Arutz Sheva was radio host Charlie Bernhaut, who noted that Langfan’s maps are a great tool to explain how small Israel is and what kind of danger it would be under if it gave up 35% of its land to Arabs.

Israel: For now, no pacts with EU due to West Bank rules

Massive scientific cooperation plan at risk unless Jerusalem receives ‘clarifications’ regarding proposed settlement regulations

August 8, 2013, 4:16 pm 0-the times of israel

The move may threaten Israel’s participation in the EU’s massive Horizon 2020 program to promote scientific research and development.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called a special meeting with relevant ministers Thursday to discuss the matter. Attendees included Finance Minister Yair Lapid, Justice Minister Tzipi Livni, Education Minister Shai Piron, Economy and Trade Minister Naftali Bennett, Science Minister Yaakov Peri, Agriculture Minister Yair Shamir and Deputy Foreign Minister Ze’ev Elkin.The ministers “did not make a decision specific to Horizon 2020,” a government source told The Times of Israel on Thursday, “but they all agreed that the new EU guidelines are detrimental to the possible success of the peace talks with the Palestinians.”The ministers also agreed that “Israel will be unable to sign additional agreements [with the EU] that include the stipulations the EU is demanding. The government of Israel will seek clarifications from the EU regarding the territorial clause,” the official said.Despite heavy criticism from Israel, the European Union will not cancel, modify or delay the implementation of the recently published guidelines that block EU funding from Israeli institutions either located or maintaining any links beyond the Green Line, a top EU official said this week.“The guidelines will take effect as they are. This is how they were published [in the EU’s Official Journal], as a legal act, and that’s how it will be,” Ambassador Andreas Reinicke, the EU’s special representative to the Middle East peace process, told The Times of Israel last week. In certain areas where the guidelines are still unclear, “a closer look” at the details might be have to be taken, he allowed. But their main points will not be changed and will take effect by January 2014 as planned.
The EU’s directive, published last month, mandates a denial of European funding to, and cooperation with, Israeli institutions based or operating over the Green Line, and a requirement that all future agreements between Israel and the EU include a clause in which Israel accepts the position that all territory over the Green Line does not belong to Israel.The exact formulation of this so-called territorial clause has yet to be determined and will likely be the subject of heated discussions between Israeli and European officials.
Brussels is also determined to introduce a labeling plan for settlement products by the end of 2013.Academics warn that if Israel opted out of Horizon 2020, the negative impact on the country’s scientific standing would be “devastating.”

878 New Yesha Homes Approved

Building may take a while to begin, but decision acknowledges that Jews of Judea and Samaria have "rights and needs which can't be ignored."-By David Lev-First Publish: 8/8/2013, 12:26 PM-israelnationalnews

The Civil Administration on Wednesday authorized construction of 878 housing units in Judea and Samaria. The units were approved for towns in the Binyamin region, the Jordan Valley, and Gush Etzion, Ha'aretz reported Thursday.The approvals had been set to be issued several weeks ago, but were postponed due to the efforts to restart negotiations with the Palestinian Authority. Those talks hinged on the release of Arab terrorists from Israeli prisons, government minister Silvan Shalom said in an interview on Israel Radio Sunday.According to Shalom, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu was prepared to offer them a building freeze in Judea and Samaria – but the PA rejected that offer, demanding that the terrorists be released instead. The first group of terrorists is set to be released next week, as talks between Israeli and PA officials get underway in Washington.Construction was approved for 112 new homes in the Binyamin community of Shilo, 559 units in Talmon (north of Modiin), 38 in Kochav Yaakov (northeast of Jerusalem), and 31 in Alon Shvut (in Gush Etzion). Most of the homes were set to be built in communities outside what are termed the “settlement blocs” that are encompassed by the security fence, that the government has said that it does not plan to surrender to the PA under any circumstances.The Civil Administration's approval is the second in a long list of approval processes construction projects in Judea and Samaria must go through before any actual construction begins. Once approved by the Civil Administration's higher planning committee – the body that gave its approval Wednesday – projects must pass through an environmental committee and a legal committee, and are subject to legal challenges, usually in the form of High Court petitions, by PA residents and Israeli leftwing groups. Finally, the projects must be personally approved by Prime Minister Netanyahu.
Skeptics have accused Netanyahu of implementing a “silent” building freeze in Judea and Samaria, as there is little actual building going on. The fact that the PA rejected Israel's offer for a building freeze did not mean that there would not actually be a freeze, the skeptics said. “We know that the PA accepts any Israeli offer as a fait accompli, even if they themselves reject those offers,” said one source. “It's a fact that the PA has demanded the concessions made by Israel in previous negotiations as a starting point for new ones, even if they themselves rejected those concessions.There's no reason to believe that this situation is any different,” said the source. “That they put some of these towns on a 'national priority list' for housing is fine, but if no building is approved and there is in effect a 'silent freeze,' it's just adding insult to injury to say that these places now have 'priority' over others.”
But Dani Dayan, chief foreign envoy for the Yesha Council, which represents the Jewish communities of Judea and Samaria, was cautiously optimistic."The Yesha Council welcomes the long overdue decision to foster natural development in a number of communities in Judea and Samaria with the preliminary advancement of building permits.""This is not a dramatic change of policy," he added, "but it stresses the obvious fact that the 368,000 Israeli residents of Judea and Samaria are a living, breathing reality with rights and needs that can not and should not be ignored.”

IDF 'Blundered into Hizbullah Ambush' – Lebanese Paper

Newspaper with links to Hizbullah boasts "Only Hizbullah can make bombs that blow up Israelis."

Two blasts that wounded four Israeli soldiers on the border with Lebanon were in fact an "ambush" set by Hizbullah, the Lebanese daily Al-Akhbar reported on Thursday.
The explosions hit the patrol on Wednesday when the troops crossed the border into southern Lebanon, parts of which are controlled by the Shiite movement."The enemy blundered when they violated the border with Lebanon, and fell into a trap that only the resistance could set," said the newspaper, which has links to Hizbullah."Only Hizbullah can make bombs that blow up Israelis" when they pass by, it said.Hizbullah, which has close ties to Iran and the regime in Syria, is considered Israel's arch-foe, and the two fought a brief but bloody summer war in 2006.
"The Israeli unit fell into a well-set ambush and the enemy found itself faced with a difficult question: 'How did Hizbullah know we were there?'" the daily wrote."The ambush is a dangerous failure for the enemy because it shows that Hizbullah has an intelligence structure that allows it to know when a patrol arrives, its route and to set a trap for it," it added.“That means the resistance is prepared for every eventuality, in case of confrontation on a wider scale or in case of a general conflict."The Lebanese army said four Israeli soldiers were wounded by explosions 400 meters inside Lebanese territory.MK Meir Sheetrit (Hatnua) warned Hizbullah Thursday following the blasts. "Hizbullah has been talking a lot,” said Sheetrit, “but if it tries to do anything it will be seriously hurt, and they understand this. Therefore, despite all of [Hizbullah chief Hassan] Nasrallah's talk, they are not doing anything on the ground.”Israel's military confirmed the toll without specifying what side of the border the soldiers were on as they were "carrying out nighttime activities in the Lebanese border area when the explosion occurred".The soldiers were members of an elite unit, Israeli public radio reported.A UN officer in the area said the 10-strong Israeli unit withdrew taking their wounded with them, as troops on the Israeli side of the border fired flares to aid their exit.The barbed wire marking the border had been cut, an AFP correspondent reported, and the two blasts occurred in a pine forest several hundred meters into Lebanon.The heavily mined area has seen several rounds of fighting between Israel and Hizbullah.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu commented on the incident on Wednesday but gave no details."Our soldiers defend us and our borders, which is what they were doing last night. We will continue to react to defend Israel's borders," he was quoted by military radio as saying.

What were four Israeli soldiers doing in southern Lebanon?

The mysterious injury of four Israeli soldiers in an explosion in southern Lebanon Wednesday, after they reportedly went 400 meters into Lebanese territory, features high in Arab dailies, as the political crisis in the country deepens.Druze politician Walid Jumblatt tells A-Sharq Al-Awsat that he would prefer a government of technocrats over a “political” government, thereby preferring the position of the pro-Western March 14 Coalition over that of Hezbollah’s March 8 Coalition.Security sources in Lebanon tell Al-Hayat that the explosion in the south was caused by a landmine likely detonated from afar using advanced technology, after the soldiers entered the area “more than once.”Hezbollah website Al-Manar, for its part, delivers an account of the Israeli incursion with no claim of responsibility. The site features two photos of Lebanese soldiers scouring the area where the explosion took place, and one of a small bloodstain on the pavement.

Japan Unveils the Izumo, Its Largest Warship Since WWII, Amid Tensions With China


Time.com
 
On Aug. 6, Japan launched its largest warship since World War II in a fresh demonstration of Tokyo’s steadily expanding naval capabilities. The unveiling of the destroyer — with a conspicuously large flight deck — has drawn attention from its neighbors, especially longstanding regional rival China, which in the past decade has embarked on a massive program of military modernization.Japan’s pacifist constitution, which was largely drafted by the U.S. after the war, renounces the use of force for purposes other than self-defense. That means the country has no offensive arsenal of long-range missiles, aircraft carriers or similar weapons of aggression. The Izumo, which can be used to launch helicopters, still doesn’t cross the line, the Japanese government says. But the almost 20,000-ton vessel is capable of carrying up to fourteen helicopters, with a maximum of five taking off and landing at once according to Bloomberg. It’s set to be deployed by March of 2015. Tokyo says that the Izumo cannot carry planes, since it lacks the catapults necessary for seaborne take-off. Instead, officials maintain that the carrier will be used for disaster and rescue missions — in the aftermath of a tsunami, perhaps — as well as for responding to “various contingencies in waters near Japan,” reports broadcaster NHK.But Chinese officials, who remain cognizant of Japan’s savage invasion and occupation of China some seven decades ago, say they aren’t fooled. The helicopter carrier could be easily retrofitted for fighter jet capability, Zhang Junshe, a senior researcher at the People’s Liberation Army Naval Military Studies Research Institute, told the state-run China Daily. “It is an aircraft carrier, and Japan just called it a helicopter destroyer to downplay its aggressive nature,” he said. (China recently debuted its first aircraft carrier, the Liaoning,a refurbished Soviet-era vessel.)In recent years, territorial disputes between Japan and China have flared over uninhabited islands that Tokyo administers but Beijing claims. The return to power of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who campaigned on a nationalist platform, and the rise of Xi Jinping, China’s new patriotically minded President, have further heightened distrust between the world’s second and third largest economies.The Chinese remain aggrieved that Tokyo has, to this day, only offered fumbling apologies for the savage bloodshed inflicted during World War II (apologies that are then undermined by the unrepentant utterances of Japanese right-wingers). Japan meanwhile frets over China’s increasing regional assertiveness as the budding global power flexes new muscles in the neighborhood. Tokyo’s response has been to place a new emphasis on its military capacity. In January, the country boosted its defense spending for the first time in a decade, albeit by 0.8%. Japan is also considering whether to ease restrictions on the use of its military, which is currently barred by the constitution from almost all activities but national defense. China’s 2013 military spending, revealed in March, increased by 10.7% over the last year, although foreign analysts believe the hike may be even higher.The spats between the two countries have stoked public sentiment on either side. A survey published Aug. 5 by Genron NPO, a Japanese think tank, and China Daily found that more than 90% of Japanese and Chinese citizens had unfavorable views of the other country. Last year, 64.5% of Chinese citizens reported unfavorable feelings toward Japan, while 84.3% of Japanese felt the same way of their neighbors to the west.

DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — Syrian rebels said they fired rockets and mortar rounds on Thursday that hit an upscale district of Damascus where President Bashar Assad attended prayers to mark the start of a major Muslim holiday in a rare attack in the high security area.At least two Syrian rebel brigades claimed they hit Assad's motorcade in the Malki district of the capital, but Syrian state TV broadcast images of the Syrian leader attending prayers and the information minister denied reports that the president had been attacked.
However, it was not possible to determine if the footage of Assad praying was filmed before or after the attack.Assad has a residence and an office in the upscale district, which has largely been sheltered from the shelling and battles that usually rage in the city's impoverished suburbs. It was not clear if Assad has stayed in Malki in recent months.This was the Syrian leader's third public appearance in over a week as his regime tries to capitalize on recent gains on the battlefield against rebels fighting to oust him from power.Information Minister Omran al-Zoubi dismissed the attack claims as "rumors" and told state TV that Assad drove his own car to the Anas bin Malik Mosque, located in the heart of Malki.In the state TV broadcast, Assad, dressed in a suit, was seen praying alongside Syria's grand mufti at the start of Eid al-Fitr, the three-day holiday that ends the holy month of Ramadan. The Eid prayers are typically an hour or two after sunrise. In previous years, Assad has been seen attending them early in the morning.The Britain-based Observatory for Human Rights, which closely monitors the fighting in Syria, said only three mortar shells hit Malki early in the morning. The neighborhood has rarely been targeted by opposition forces during the conflict that only last year saw the rebels bring their battle to the heart of the capital.There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage in the shelling, which was confirmed by Malki residents, who spoke on condition of anonymity fearing for their own safety.Rami Abdul-Rahman, the Observatory's head, said he had no confirmation that Assad's motorcade had been hit and was skeptical of the reports.An Islamic rebel brigade, Liwaa Tahrir al-Sham, said it fired several 120 mm shells in the direction of Assad's motorcade after carrying out careful surveillance of its route.The claim was made on the group's Facebook and Twitter pages and could not be independently confirmed. The brigade's head, Firas al-Bitar, told Al-Arabiya TV that the motorcade had been hit but that it was not certain whether Assad himself had been harmed.Capt. Islam Alloush of the Liwa al-Islam, another rebel brigade, also claimed responsibility, saying there were casualties among Assad's entourage. He said they carried out the attack separately and without coordinating with Tahrir al-Sham brigade.Alloush told The Associated Press that Assad was not hit but claimed several people within his entourage were killed or wounded. He claimed the footage aired on Syrian TV showing Assad praying at the mosque may have been pre-recorded or fabricated."We had promised the Syrian people a big operation for Eid and we have delivered," he said.There was no way to verify the authenticity of the claims. Rebels have claimed attacks against Assad or members of his government in the past that turned out to be false.
Syria's state news agency said several mortar shells also hit the capital's suburb that is home to the golden-domed Shiite shrine of Sayeda Zeinab, killing five people and injuring 12 others. The shrine, located just a few kilometers (miles) southeast of Damascus is named after the Prophet Muhammad's granddaughter. The shrine is popular with Iranian worshippers and tourists.Meanwhile, the leader of Syria's exiled opposition coalition attended holiday prayers in the southern province of Daraa on Thursday, his second trip inside the country since he was elected head of the Western-backed Syrian National Coalition last month.The coalition's spokeswoman, Sarah Karkour confirmed the rare foray into Syria by the opposition leader Ahmad al-Jarba, but did not say in which mosque in Daraa he prayed. In a video, posted on the Internet by the coalition, al-Jarba, dressed in a suit, is seen talking to people, surrounded by unarmed rebels wearing fatigues.Syrian uprising started in Daraa in March 2011 as protests against Assad rule. The largely peaceful revolt turned into a civil war after opposition supporters took up arms to fight a brutal government crackdown. More than 100,000 people have been killed in the violence in the conflict.Assad's troops have recently been on the offensive in central Syria, making advances near the border with Lebanon and in the city of Homs, an opposition stronghold and Syria's third largest city. They've also been fighting pockets of resistance around the capital, Damascus, to fortify the seat of Assad's power there, and fought rebels in Daraa to the south, near the border with Jordan.On Wednesday, Syrian government troops ambushed a large group of rebels trudging through a desert road northeast of Damascus, killing more than 60 fighters.
In the north, where much of the territory has been under opposition control in the past year, rebels scored a rare victory earlier this week when they captured a major air base in the Aleppo province near the border with Turkey.Syria's crisis started as a largely peaceful uprising against Assad's rule in March 2011
