15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.

Despite rifts, Kerry remains upbeat on peace talks

Netanyahu says PA not living up to commitments; Palestinians say secret negotiating session Tuesday broke down over settlements

By Matthew Lee November 6, 2013, 11:21 am-The Times of Israel

AP — US Secretary of State John Kerry waded again into the nitty-gritty of faltering Israeli-Palestinian peace talks on Wednesday, saying he was optimistic that tensions and difficulties could be overcome, even as Israel’s leader bashed the Palestinians for the poor state of negotiations.“I am very confident of our ability to work through them,” Kerry told reporters as he opened a meeting in a Jerusalem hotel with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “That is why I am here.”“This can be achieved with good faith and a serious effort on both sides,” he said, urging both Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, who he set to see later in the day, to make “real compromises and hard decisions.”After being launched in July with great fanfare, the negotiations quickly ran into trouble with no visible signs of progress and both sides reverting to a familiar pattern of finger pointing. The goal of reaching a peace deal within nine months appears in jeopardy. And, underscoring the challenge ahead, a secret negotiating session held on Tuesday broke down in an acrimonious dispute over Israeli settlement construction, according to a Palestinian official.
Standing alongside Kerry, Netanyahu complained about the Palestinians, saying the peace talks were in trouble because of their behavior.“I am concerned about their progress because I see the Palestinians continuing with incitement, continuing to create artificial crises, continuing to avoid (and) run away (from) strong decisions that are needed to make a genuine peace,” he told Kerry. “I hope your visit will help steer them back to a place where we can achieve the historical peace that we seek.”The talks are set to end in April and the current deadlock has raised speculation that the US may need to step up its involvement and present its own blueprint for peace early next year, or perhaps lower expectations and pursue a limited, interim agreement. Kerry and his aides have refused to discuss such an option, insisting instead that the goal of the talks remains a comprehensive peace pact.Kerry said he would continue to plug away despite the problems.“We need the space to negotiate privately, secretly, quietly and we will continue to do that,” he said. “We have six months ahead of us on the timetable we have set for ourselves and I am confident we have the ability to make progress.”After seeing Netanyahu, Kerry will travel to the West Bank town of Bethlehem for talks with Abbas. He will then return to Jerusalem for a meeting with President Shimon Peres and meet with Netanyahu again over dinner. On Thursday, Kerry plans to travel to Jordan, where he expects to see Abbas for a second time on his current mission.After months of cajoling, Kerry persuaded Israel and the Palestinians to reopen peace talks in late July after a nearly five-year break.The parties have largely honored Kerry’s request to keep the content of the negotiations secret. But officials on both sides have acknowledged that no progress has been made, though they say that the talks have addressed all key issues at the core of the dispute. These include defining the borders of a future Palestine, and addressing Israeli security demands.The Palestinians want to establish an independent state in the West Bank, east Jerusalem and Gaza Strip, territories captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war. They say they’re willing to adjust those borders to allow Israel to keep some West Bank settlements as part of a “land swap.”Netanyahu opposes a withdrawal to Israel’s pre-1967 lines, saying such borders would be indefensible.He has also demanded that the Palestinians recognize Israel as the Jewish homeland, a condition they reject on the grounds that it would harm the rights of Israel’s Arab minority and Palestinian refugees who claim lost properties inside what is now Israel. Netanyahu also rejects shared control of east Jerusalem, home to key religious sites and the Palestinians’ hoped-for capital.For years, the Palestinians refused to sit down with Netanyahu while he continued to expand Jewish settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem. The Palestinians say continued expansion of the settlements, now home to more than 500,000 Israelis, is a sign of bad faith.Under heavy US pressure, the Palestinians reluctantly agreed to drop their demand for a settlement freeze in return for Israeli pledges to release about 100 long-serving Palestinian prisoners, and vague assurances that any settlement construction would be restrained.The US-brokered formula has been put to the test in recent days. Israel released a second batch of prisoners, all of whom had been convicted of murdering Israelis, setting off a painful debate over the merits of such a move. Joyful Palestinian celebrations welcoming the prisoners home as heroes added to the Israeli public’s anger.Netanyahu responded to the prisoner release by announcing plans to build thousands of homes in settlements, angering the Palestinians.
Immediately after arriving in Israel on Tuesday night, Kerry visited the Tel Aviv memorial for slain prime minister Yitzhak Rabin, who reached a landmark peace agreement with the Palestinians before he was assassinated by a Jewish ultra-nationalist in 1995.A very small but vocal group of protesters against the prisoner release heckled Kerry as he laid a wreath at the memorial chanting, “Don’t free terrorists.”
Around the same time, the secret negotiating session was breaking down, according to the Palestinian official who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the pledge not to discuss the negotiations in public.
The official said the outrage over the settlement plans boiled over at a secret negotiating session with the Israelis in Jerusalem. The official said the meeting, held at Kerry’s request, “exploded” over the settlement issue, and that the talks were abruptly halted. Abbas is expected to raise the matter with Kerry at their meeting in Bethlehem.Israeli officials had no immediate comment.

Palestinian official: No talks while settlement construction continues

Meeting between negotiators Tuesday reportedly devolves into shouting match and ends without results

12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.(1/2-3 BILLION DIE IN WW3)

The Israeli Air Force will conduct a joint drill with a bevy of some 1,000 pilots from three other nations in the Negev Desert later this month.The two-week exercise will take place at the Uvda air base, near the southern resort city of Eilat, and will include air crews from the United States, Italy and Greece, the IAF announced Tuesday.The drill, which has been dubbed “Blue Flag,” will be modeled after the US Air Force’s annual Red Flag desert exercise. More than 100 aircraft will be on hand to participate in simulated dogfights and surface-to-air exercises.It will be the largest international drill ever held in Israel, requiring the IAF to conduct extensive preparations.“A moment before the start signal, Israeli squadrons are embarking on a preparatory workshop during which they’ll take off, maneuver and drill for four full days so as to ready themselves, as much as possible, for the impending international exercise,” the IAF said in a statement on its website.
Israeli pilots have also been practicing their in-flight English.“Blue Flag is a highly advanced drill and we have to conduct it in English – something that we aren’t accustomed to,” said Second Lieutenant Omri, who is in charge of one squadron’s preparatory workshop.The IAF has been drilling extensively in recent years for the possibility that it will be called upon to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities.Last month, as talks over Iran’s nuclear program kicked off in Geneva, the IAF conducted several large exercises over the northern border and the Mediterranean Sea, with fighter aircraft practicing a simulated strike on a distant target.Those flights included midair refueling, coordinated strikes to an exceptionally long distance, and dogfights. They were carried out over the territorial waters of Greece, which will be among the countries participating in Blue Flag this month.

Two futures

This year’s General Assembly in Jerusalem tackles the fateful issues of Israel-Diaspora relations and North American Jewry

By Jerry Silverman and Michael Siegal November 5, 2013, 12:01 pm 0-The Times of Israel

The General Assembly of the Jewish Federations of North America is the place where thousands come to discuss, to debate and to hear impactful words from world Jewish leaders in plenary sessions. But as we all know, sometimes your Jewish world can change from a discussion with a friend in the hallway or over a cup of coffee with a colleague.Every GA is important. But this year’s GA brings with it an extra measure of urgency.This GA is really about two futures: the future of Israel and its relationship with the Diaspora; and the challenges facing North American Jewry. The recently released Pew Research Center’s “Portrait of Jewish Americans” survey underscored those challenges. At this GA, this critical time for our people, we will explore both Israel’s future and how we will approach many of our own perceived and factual deficits revealed by the study.We are therefore choosing this time and space, this GA in Jerusalem, to challenge our community to come up big with major initiatives.We suggest that in the interest of a new Jewish Head Start that we make Jewish early childhood free and available to every Jewish child.We urge the expansion of the Jewish summer camp experience. For years we’ve studied camp, campers and the camp experience. We don’t need any more studies. We need more camps, so we can increase the percentage of Jewish children attending camp from 10 to 30 percent.
Let’s get to work on Birthright. Get the list, and ask the more than 350,000 alums what they want to do Jewishly now. Let’s use technology to re-connect with them where they are. We need to follow up.
Create Jewish development zones – Here we’d target five centers of Jewish populations with many Jews, but too few Jewish connections. It’s up to us to provide an adrenaline shot of Jewish investment, Jewish Head Start, one new Jewish camp, and Jewish programs for young single adults and Birthright alumni.As we’ve said, if nothing else, the Pew study clearly demonstrates that our people stand at an urgent crossroads. But meeting at that crossroads is also the road of tremendous opportunity. Yet it’s only an opportunity if our leadership seizes upon it with renewed vigor and focus.In a few more weeks, Americans will celebrate the holiday of Thanksgiving. Just as then, we Jews will celebrate during these three GA days by giving thanks for each other, for our common causes and even for our differences. For we are Jews, and we are family. Sometimes family members disagree. We might disagree over an issue pertaining to politics, social welfare or even Israel. But we all agree that those differences fall far short of the common love we have for Israel.
The importance of year’s GA is not only that that it’s in Israel; it’s that it’s about Israel. We learn from one another at this central gathering of our communal system. The GA is for us, but it also says something so important about us. Thought provoking programing will combine with inspiring experiences that we will take back to our communities, and that will fuel our neshamot, our souls, until we meet again.So why? Why is this year’s GA going to be different from all other years? And what about GA 2013 in Jerusalem, the faith capital of the world? We’ll be back this year in a spirit of thanks and partnership between North American Jewry and Israel. So it’s no wonder that the grand plenaries and interactive breakouts we’ll experience this year explore with purpose the core issues facing Israel and world Jewry. Our sessions have been carefully planned to address Israel’s place in the world today, the internal societal challenges Israel faces, the changing culture of Jewish philanthropy we now experience, and the present and future status of Israel’s relationship with the global community.A remarkable constellation of Israeli and North American Jewish leaders will tell us how they are changing the world and blazing new trails in politics, philanthropy, business, religion and culture.We’ll hear from leaders of the land, starting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who for his entire career has made the GA a priority in Israel’s relationship with the North American Diaspora. And we’re excited to say that one plenary will feature a question and answer session with President Shimon Peres with questions submitted by audience members and via Facebook. Also at the GA: Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon, Finance Minister Yair Lapid, Minister for Jerusalem and Diaspora Affairs Naftali Bennett, opposition leader Shelly Yacimovich, and the Knesset’s youngest member, Stav Shaffir.We’ll also hear from business leaders and innovators such as El Al CEO and former IAF Commander in Chief Eliezer Shkedi and Daniel Birnbaum, CEO of SodaStream International.This year’s GA will also feature Israeli voices we don’t usually hear as we celebrate Israeli innovation and thought leadership, like Emma Butin, an entrepreneur, blogger and product strategist; and Paz Cohen, who is helping use cutting-edge technology to amplify social issues. No Jewish communal group but the Jewish Federations of North America can bring together such a dynamic and wide-ranging group of names and figures.The provocative topics impacting Israel and its relationship with world Jewry include an open discussion of developments in the Haredi world and the challenge of speaking effectively for Israel today, a challenge entirely different from the one faced by Israel advocates in 1967.We’ll listen and we’ll talk about Israel at its heart. We’ll discuss Israel’s challenges with the Arab Spring and the influence of Iran, the world’s number one sponsor of terror. And we’ll also take a look at what is happening inside of Israel. Yes, Jewish pluralism and religious freedom among Jews is at a critical juncture in this still very young state.We’re breaking new ground this year with programs such as FEDTalks, which will bring Israel to life in entirely new ways. Our aim is to help Federation and other Jewish professionals have the tools they need to better communicate about their work in the broader Jewish community.In Jerusalem, we will walk through the capital of our people as we have done throughout history. We connect here in this holiest of cities with Jews who escaped the Holocaust’s tyranny, with Jews from the former Soviet Union who yearned for religious freedom, with Jews who wanted to take part in the day to day of what is truly God’s country. We are all brothers and sisters.This will be for all of us a very different GA, a groundbreaking one of sorts where a dynamic forum will focus sharply on Israel and the Israel-Diaspora dynamic.This is an opportunity for unprecedented dialogue between Israelis and North American Jews. No issue will go untouched, be it religious debate and discussion, the way Israel as a civil society moves forward, Issues of poverty and, yes, a wealth gap in Israel. These might be Israeli issues, but they are important to all Jews.This GA should be considered a Global Jewish Marketplace of ideas and participatory dialogue to further those ideas.Social networking? Israel is the nation that made it possible for the world to text, Facebook, blog, tweet and follow us online. So, of course, the GA, much of it live streamed, will be the center of “likes” for the entire Jewish world during these three days. At this wired GA, an unprecedented number of bloggers will keep the world uplinked to Jerusalem. We’ll learn together how technology and the social network will touch on new sectors like crowdsourcing philanthropy, Tweeting and Web streaming. There’s even a GA smartphone App.May you have the time of your life. We have a great deal to do. Let these three days of GA in Jerusalem be the platform for our future in Israel, in America and all over the world.And may the next Jewish communal study show that Jerusalem was where we came together as a unified people moving forward.Let’s begin here.—Gerrald (Jerry) Silverman and Michael Siegal are, respectively, president and CEO and chair of the Board of Trustees of the Jewish Federations of North America. The JFNA General Assembly takes place Nov. 10-12.
