For long seen as a "payer not a
player" in the region, the European Union has started making clear that
its role as Israel's biggest trade partner and the Palestinians' largest
donor should not be taken for granted.
"We have made it clear to the parties that there will be a price to pay if these negotiations falter," ambassador Lars Faaborg-Andersen told reporters.U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is trying to draw up a broad framework deal that would open the way for a final round of detailed discussions to end the generations-old conflict covering all the core elements dividing the two sides.However, despite more than five months of talks, there has been no sign of any imminent breakthrough.The EU has grown especially frustrated by Israel's repeated announcement since the talks started of new Jewish settlement building on land the Palestinians want for their future state."If Israel were to go down the road of continued settlement expansion and were there not to be any result in the current talks, I am afraid that what will transpire is a situation where Israel finds itself increasingly isolated," he said.A major private Dutch pension fund announced earlier this month that it was divesting from five large Israeli banks because of their operations in the settlements, and Norwegian and Swedish funds are considering similar moves.
DONOR FATIGUE
While EU states are not advising firms to cut investments in Israel, officials say companies might act unilaterally to avoid any backlash from clients increasingly disenchanted with continued Israeli occupation of land seized in the 1967 war.Israel's pro-settler economy minister, Naftali Bennett, on Monday made light of the possibility of a boycott on Israel and has suggested that the government should look to bolster ties with emerging markets to offset problems with Europe.Despite Israel's intimate ties with the United States, the European Union is its biggest economic partner, accounting for almost a third of the country's exports and imports. Faaborg-Andersen questioned how quickly Israel could change focus."To think you can shift all your cooperation, trade, everything overnight to India, China and Russia, well I have my doubts," he said.
The 28-nation EU has potentially even more leverage over the Palestinians, providing some 1 billion euros of assistance each year to the cash strapped Palestinian Authority, making it by far the largest donor to the West Bank economy."It has been made very clear to the Palestinians that just sitting around and waiting is not an option," said Faaborg-Andersen, warning that donor fatigue was already setting in.However, the ambassador said Israel also risked losing out if an increasingly frustrated EU decided to cut PA funding."I think it is realized in Israel that this money is key to the stability of the West Bank and in Gaza. If we don't provide the money … I think there is a great likelihood that Israel would have to provide far more."(Editing by Sonya Hepinstall)

Jerusalem (AFP) - Israel on Wednesday moved forward with
plans for 261 new homes in two settlements located deep in the occupied
West Bank, a watchdog said, drawing strong European condemnation.It was the fifth such move in just over two weeks
and raised to 2,791 the number of new settler homes announced since the
start of the year, threatening to derail faltering US-brokered peace
talks with the Palestinians.
Israel's rapid settlement expansion has angered Palestinian negotiators and drawn condemnation from the international community, threatening peace talks that US Secretary of State John Kerry kick-started in July.
EU envoy to Israel Lars Faaborg-Andersen said continued settlement building would isolate the Jewish state, which he warned would be held accountable for a failure of peace talks."If Israel were to go down the road of continued settlement expansion and were there not to be any result from the current talks, I'm afraid that what will transpire is a situation in which Israel will find itself increasingly isolated," Faaborg-Andersen told journalists in Jerusalem."If the talks are wrecked as a result of Israeli settlement announcements, then the blame will be put squarely on Israel's doorstep," he said.
"You are eating away at the cake that you are discussing how to slice up."Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last week accused the EU of a "hypocritical" attitude toward the Middle East peace process, saying it should be more concerned by Palestinian militancy than Israeli housing construction.The new plans include 256 housing units in the Nofei Prat settlement, between Jerusalem and Jericho, and another five in the sprawling Ariel settlement in the north, the group said."The addition of 256 housing units to the small, isolated settlement of Nofei Prat dramatically changes the settlement, expanding its size and population significantly. In fact, these planned units will nearly triple the size of Nofei Prat," Peace Now said in a statement.Construction would be allowed to start "without further political approval or public awareness," it added."Every day that Kerry isn't in the region, the government announces construction of new settlements," Peace Now spokesman Lior Amihai told AFP.Kerry has visited the region 10 times since March to coax the two sides towards a final peace agreement, but the talks continue to falter ahead of an agreed April deadline.Israel moved ahead on Tuesday with plans for 381 homes for West Bank settlers, prompting Palestinian charges it was more interested in building settlements than reaching a peace agreement.It also pushed ahead with plans for a second visitors' centre at an archaeological site in Silwan, a densely-populated Arab neighbourhood of annexed east Jerusalem, Peace Now said.And on January 6, Israel approved plans for 272 new homes in various West Bank settlements. Four days later, it unveiled plans for more than 1,877 new units, some in east Jerusalem.Israel and the Palestinians embarked on nine months of direct negotiations in late July at the urging of Kerry.But over the past six months, Israel has not slowed its construction on land the Palestinians want for a future state.
It said Zaanin was behind rocket fire on January 15 which
struck open ground shortly after the funeral of former premier Ariel
Sharon, which took place several kilometres (miles) from the Gaza
border.A separate Palestinian militant group, Islamic Jihad,
claimed Ahmad al-Zaanin as a member, confirming his death and that of
"one of his relatives Mahmud al-Zaanin" in the strike "near his home".The PFLP did not immediately claim Zaanin as a member.Israel
has continued to target Islamic Jihad, Hamas weapons stockpiles and
training camps since a ceasefire with Gaza's ruling movement took effect
after a bloody eight-day conflict in November 2012.Netanyahu
vowed to teach Hamas a lesson "very soon" if attacks continue, saying
that Israel's policy of retaliating "forcefully" against rocket fire
from Gaza had produced "a quiet year in 2013".
"If Hamas and the terror organisations have forgotten this lesson, they will learn it again powerfully very soon," he said on Tuesday.Defence Minister Moshe Yaalon echoed Netanyahu's remarks, saying Israel would use "any means" against Gaza."We will not hesitate to use force to combat those who threaten our security, and we will do this using any means we possess," he said in a statement, calling Wednesday's strike "another stage in our fight against rocket fire".Yaalon's deputy Danny Danon said: "Those who engage in terrorism will pay a high price for their actions."Israel has insisted that Hamas will be held entirely responsible for any rockets fired from the enclave.On Tuesday, Hamas said it had deployed forces to "preserve the truce."But experts said the Islamist movement might have trouble restraining rocket fire from Gaza, given the pressure it is under not to kowtow to its sworn enemy."Israel's decision to go back to a policy of targeted assassinations, targeting Palestinians who are suspected of launching rockets... will gradually lead to a dangerous escalation between the Gaza Strip and Israel," said Mkhaimer Abu Saada, a political science professor at Gaza's Al-Azhar University."There will be retaliation from other groups, but Hamas will even find it difficult to control its own (armed wing the) Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades."Over the past month, tensions have soared in and around Gaza after more than a year of relative calm.Since December 20, six Palestinians and an Israeli have been killed in violence in and around the territory, with militant rocket fire sparking retaliatory air strikes.

4 I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.
5 Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred,(AGAINST ISRAEL) and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an end:
6 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee.
11 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee.
12 And thou shalt know that I am the LORD, and that I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume.

The dispute over Assad cast a pall over an
international conference that aims to map out a transitional government
and ultimately a democratic election for the country mired in fighting
that has killed more than 130,000 people and displaced millions.While
diplomats sparred against a pristine Alpine backdrop, Syrian forces and
opposition fighters clashed across a wide area from Aleppo and Idlib in
the north to Daraa in the south, activists and state media said.Just
hours into the talks in the Swiss city of Montreux, the two sides
seemed impossibly far apart. Complicating matters, both Assad's
delegates and the Western-backed opposition Syrian National Coalition
claimed to speak for the Syrian people.The U.S. and the Syrian
opposition opened the conference by saying that Assad lost his
legitimacy when he crushed the once-peaceful protest movement against
his regime."We really need to deal with reality," said U.S.
Secretary of State John Kerry. "There is no way — no way possible in the
imagination — that the man who has led the brutal response to his own
people could regain the legitimacy to govern. One man and those who have
supported him can no longer hold an entire nation and a region
hostage."The Syrian response was firm and blunt."There
will be no transfer of power and President Bashar Assad is staying,"
Syrian Information Minister Omran al-Zoubi told reporters after the
day's speeches were done.Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem said terrorists and
foreign meddling had ripped his country apart. He refused to give up the
podium despite numerous requests from the U.N. chief."You live
in New York. I live in Syria," he angrily told U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon.
"I have the right to give the Syrian version here in this forum. After
three years of suffering, this is my right."Ahmad al-Jarba of the
Syrian National Coalition had wavered up to the last minute on whether
to attend the peace talks that have been largely opposed by rebel
brigades in Syria. He said any discussion of Assad's continued hold on
power would effectively end the talks.A transitional government "is the only topic for us," he said.But
al-Moallem insisted that no one except Syrians could remove Assad. He
also accused the West and neighboring countries — notably Saudi Arabia,
which he did not name — of funneling money, weapons and foreign fighters
to the rebellion."The West claims to fight terrorism publically
while they feed it secretly," he said. "Syrians here in this hall
participated in all that has happened, they implemented, facilitated the
bloodshed and all at the expense of the Syrian people they claim to
represent."
He also criticized the opposition coalition, which is based in Turkey and is largely made up of exiles with little sway on events inside Syria.State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki later criticized the Syrian government's rhetoric as "inflammatory."At least 130,000 people have been killing in the fighting that began with a peaceful uprising against Assad's rule in March 2011, according to activists, who are the only ones still keeping count after the U.N. abandoned its efforts. The fighting in Syria has become a proxy war between regional powers Iran and Saudi Arabia, and taken on post-Cold War overtones with Russia and the United States backing opposite sides.The question of Assad's future goes to the heart of the peace conference with the stated goal of a transitional government for Syria. Notably absent was Iran, which along with Russia has been Assad's most forceful supporter.Ban invited, then disinvited Iran at the last minute, after the Syrian opposition threatened to back out of the peace talks less than 48 hours before their start.Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal, whose government has funneled millions to the rebels, said "it goes without saying that Assad has no role in Syria's future." He also called on foreign forces to withdraw from Syria, including the Iranian Revolutionary Guards and Hezbollah militias.Syrian state television aired al-Moallem's speech in full, but then cut away to archive footage of car bombs and sectarian attacks during speeches by opposition leader al-Jarba and the Turkish foreign minister — keeping their discourse in the background.Diplomats have played down expectations for the Swiss peace talks, although they have said repeatedly they are the only hope for ending Syria's civil war. But Assad's forces have gained ground in recent months, and the man whose family has led Syria since 1970 has tried to portray the rebellion as one driven by foreign terrorists who are trying to create an al-Qaida-inspired haven.The president of Iran, which has given Assad billions in aid, including weapons and Shiite fighters, said the talks were likely to fail."Considering all signs, I don't have much hope that this meeting can succeed in fighting terrorism, because some countries sponsoring terrorism are taking part," said Iranian President Hassan Rouhani. "Also I don't think it will succeed in establishing peace and stability because the countries that created the instability are taking part."After the bitter speeches, the diplomats settled in for an afternoon of bilateral meetings. Those included the second in less than 24 hours between Kerry and his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov, who together had hammered out the landmark agreement last fall that saw Assad give up Syria's chemical weapons program."The talks between Syrian parties aren't going to be simple and quick," Lavrov said in his address. "The conference is not 100 percent certain, but still a real chance to achieve peace."Later this week in Geneva, Syria's warring sides will sit down for their first face-to-face meeting since the conflict erupted."I pray that the Lord touches everyone's hearts so that they do everything in their power to urgently end the violence," said Pope Francis, who also sent a delegation to the talks.___Associated Press writers Desmond Butler and Lori Hinnant contributed.
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Francis urged
participants at peace talks in Switzerland on Wednesday to urgently
agree to end the civil war in Syria that has killed over 100,000 people.Syria's government and its enemies must "not spare any efforts to
urgently reach a stop to the violence and end to the conflict, which has
already caused so much suffering," Francis told pilgrims at his weekly
audience in St. Peter's Square.
"I wish for the dear Syrian nation a decisive path towards reconciliation, harmony and reconstruction with the participation of all citizens, where everyone can find in his fellow not an enemy, not an adversary, but a brother to accept and embrace."A delegation of senior prelates from the Vatican is attending the talks mediated by the United Nations. The Holy See has repeatedly called for an end to a conflict that has stretched on for three years, unsettling the Middle East.(Reporting by Naomi O'Leary; Editing by Tom Heneghan)

Warsaw (AFP) - Poland's powerful Catholic Church has declared
war on "gender theory", saying it undermines the traditional family --
but critics say that is a tactic to shift attention away from a
paedophile priest scandal.The theory
explores sexual orientation and the roles assigned by society to
individuals based on their gender, but the Polish Church has borrowed
the English word "gender" to refer to a range of issues including
contraception, abortion and homosexuality.While many say gender
theory promotes tolerance and understanding towards gender equality and
homosexuality, the Polish Church has branded it a mortal danger to
families, child sexual orientation and humanity.Polish bishops wrote a letter on the topic that was read out in every parish across the country over the Christmas holidays."This is a preventative offensive," sociologist Edmund Wnuk-Lipinski told AFP."The
Church fears social change and it especially opposes gay marriage,
something that's happening in other countries like France or certain
states in the US."Inspired by then pope Benedict XVI's remarks in
late 2012 about the "falseness" of gender theory, the Polish campaign
has taken on epic proportions and sparked a fierce, high-profile
national debate.Critics argue it is designed to shift focus from
a recent string of paedophile priest scandals that rocked Poland, one
of Europe's most Roman Catholic countries but whose loyalty to the
Church is waning."Someone advised the Church to find a topic that
would make people forget about the paedophile scandals that Polish
media was fixated on these last few months," leading Polish religious
affairs commentator Adam Szostkiewicz told AFP."Now not a day goes by that a bishop doesn't warn against gender," he said.Allegations surfaced last year that two high-profile Polish priests had engaged in sex with boys.Prosecutors
began probes in September against 65-year-old archbishop Jozef
Wesolowski, who served as a papal envoy in the Dominican Republic's
capital Santo Domingo, and 36-year-old Wojciech Gil, who also served on
the Caribbean island.Poland's top cleric meanwhile provoked outrage when he suggested that parents shared the blame for paedophilia.Archbishop
Jozef Michalik later apologised for saying that paedophilia "manifests
itself when a child is looking for love" and could be avoided "given a
healthy relationship between parents".According to feminist
activist Kazimiera Szczuka, the war against gender is just the latest
attempt by the Church to shift blame."By claiming that gender
theory skews child sexual orientation, the Church wants people to think
that it is indeed this theory that's responsible for sexual abuse, and
not priests," she told AFP.The Church letter to parishioners
alleges that gender theory has "for the last several months been
introduced without Poles' consent within various social institutions:
education, health care, non-governmental organisations and cultural
institutions".The bishops cite Marxism, feminist movements and the sexual
revolution as having inspired the theory, which they say is "contrary to
the traditional view of man".They warn that gender theory
allows an individual to "freely define himself as a man or woman and
choose his sexual orientation".In certain parishes, an extreme
version of the letter claimed that school sex education -- not yet a
part of the Polish curriculum -- leads to "severe youth depravity".The
Church views the traditional definition of family headed by a man and a
woman as the basis of society, according to Marcin Przeciszewski, head
of Poland's KAI Catholic news agency.He regrets the "unfortunate choice of words" of some Church members that "clouds the main message"."The
Church cannot agree to the idea of the interchangeability of the sexes.
Sexual identity is accorded by nature, by God," he told AFP.But
some say the Church is misguided in demonising gender theory, since it
is mainly a scientific concept and not tied to any particular ideology,
according to expert Agnieszka Rajewicz-Kozlowska."In most
official documents, the term 'gender' is linked to the idea of equality
between men and women," said Rajewicz-Kozlowska, the government's deputy
minister in charge of gender equality.Yet, according to
Szostkiewicz, the Church has turned "gender" into a grab bag and tossed
everything into it: civil unions, gay marriage, abortion, in-vitro
fertilisation, gender equality and sexual education.He says the
strategy has helped convince a portion of the population, thanks in
large part to those who "only a couple months ago knew nothing about the
term 'gender' and had no idea that it has been studied in Polish
universities for 20 years".Among the more extreme examples of the
scorn heaped on gender theory, priest Dariusz Oko said: "Gender
ideology is in some ways worse than Nazism and communism.""It leads to the destruction of the nation" because it "destroys the family," he said.This
view has been echoed by Poland's political right, with a minor
opposition party recently launching a committee against gender theory in
parliament.Committee
members have assigned themselves the task of "protecting nursery school
children against a sexualisation (introduced) under the guise of classes
on gender equality" that were co-funded by the European Union and other
international organisations.Following
warnings from Polish bishops and right-wing politicians, parents in
many schools across the country have demanded that such classes be
banned.

New York (AFP) - Millions of Americans braved a miserable
commute across the East coast Wednesday after a fierce storm dumped more
than a foot of snow from the Mid-Atlantic to New England.The federal government stumbled back to work as
bitter wind chills kept temperatures 10 to 25 degrees below average with
hundreds of flights canceled and roads still icy.In New York,
the mercury would not rise beyond 14 Fahrenheit (-10 Celsius) but
bone-chilling gusts would make it feel as low as -13 Fahrenheit, the
National Weather Service said.Schools were open and most subway
lines ran smoothly but new mayor Bill de Blasio was roasted in the press
for bungling the second winter storm of his less than four-week
administration.
More than 1,700 plows were to be mobilized across America's biggest city Tuesday night to clear up to 10 inches of snow.But when the flakes hit earlier than expected Tuesday, residents across New York complained that road crews were too slow to mobilize, causing a string of accidents and traffic gridlock.

EU warns Israel, Palestinians of the cost of peace failure
By Crispian Balmer JAN 22,14-yahoonews
"We have made it clear to the parties that there will be a price to pay if these negotiations falter," ambassador Lars Faaborg-Andersen told reporters.U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is trying to draw up a broad framework deal that would open the way for a final round of detailed discussions to end the generations-old conflict covering all the core elements dividing the two sides.However, despite more than five months of talks, there has been no sign of any imminent breakthrough.The EU has grown especially frustrated by Israel's repeated announcement since the talks started of new Jewish settlement building on land the Palestinians want for their future state."If Israel were to go down the road of continued settlement expansion and were there not to be any result in the current talks, I am afraid that what will transpire is a situation where Israel finds itself increasingly isolated," he said.A major private Dutch pension fund announced earlier this month that it was divesting from five large Israeli banks because of their operations in the settlements, and Norwegian and Swedish funds are considering similar moves.
DONOR FATIGUE
While EU states are not advising firms to cut investments in Israel, officials say companies might act unilaterally to avoid any backlash from clients increasingly disenchanted with continued Israeli occupation of land seized in the 1967 war.Israel's pro-settler economy minister, Naftali Bennett, on Monday made light of the possibility of a boycott on Israel and has suggested that the government should look to bolster ties with emerging markets to offset problems with Europe.Despite Israel's intimate ties with the United States, the European Union is its biggest economic partner, accounting for almost a third of the country's exports and imports. Faaborg-Andersen questioned how quickly Israel could change focus."To think you can shift all your cooperation, trade, everything overnight to India, China and Russia, well I have my doubts," he said.
The 28-nation EU has potentially even more leverage over the Palestinians, providing some 1 billion euros of assistance each year to the cash strapped Palestinian Authority, making it by far the largest donor to the West Bank economy."It has been made very clear to the Palestinians that just sitting around and waiting is not an option," said Faaborg-Andersen, warning that donor fatigue was already setting in.However, the ambassador said Israel also risked losing out if an increasingly frustrated EU decided to cut PA funding."I think it is realized in Israel that this money is key to the stability of the West Bank and in Gaza. If we don't provide the money … I think there is a great likelihood that Israel would have to provide far more."(Editing by Sonya Hepinstall)

Israel plans 261 settler homes deep in West Bank
1 hour ago-JAN 22,14-yahoonews
Israel's rapid settlement expansion has angered Palestinian negotiators and drawn condemnation from the international community, threatening peace talks that US Secretary of State John Kerry kick-started in July.
EU envoy to Israel Lars Faaborg-Andersen said continued settlement building would isolate the Jewish state, which he warned would be held accountable for a failure of peace talks."If Israel were to go down the road of continued settlement expansion and were there not to be any result from the current talks, I'm afraid that what will transpire is a situation in which Israel will find itself increasingly isolated," Faaborg-Andersen told journalists in Jerusalem."If the talks are wrecked as a result of Israeli settlement announcements, then the blame will be put squarely on Israel's doorstep," he said.
"You are eating away at the cake that you are discussing how to slice up."Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last week accused the EU of a "hypocritical" attitude toward the Middle East peace process, saying it should be more concerned by Palestinian militancy than Israeli housing construction.The new plans include 256 housing units in the Nofei Prat settlement, between Jerusalem and Jericho, and another five in the sprawling Ariel settlement in the north, the group said."The addition of 256 housing units to the small, isolated settlement of Nofei Prat dramatically changes the settlement, expanding its size and population significantly. In fact, these planned units will nearly triple the size of Nofei Prat," Peace Now said in a statement.Construction would be allowed to start "without further political approval or public awareness," it added."Every day that Kerry isn't in the region, the government announces construction of new settlements," Peace Now spokesman Lior Amihai told AFP.Kerry has visited the region 10 times since March to coax the two sides towards a final peace agreement, but the talks continue to falter ahead of an agreed April deadline.Israel moved ahead on Tuesday with plans for 381 homes for West Bank settlers, prompting Palestinian charges it was more interested in building settlements than reaching a peace agreement.It also pushed ahead with plans for a second visitors' centre at an archaeological site in Silwan, a densely-populated Arab neighbourhood of annexed east Jerusalem, Peace Now said.And on January 6, Israel approved plans for 272 new homes in various West Bank settlements. Four days later, it unveiled plans for more than 1,877 new units, some in east Jerusalem.Israel and the Palestinians embarked on nine months of direct negotiations in late July at the urging of Kerry.But over the past six months, Israel has not slowed its construction on land the Palestinians want for a future state.
Israel hits Gaza as fears rise of new conflict
By Sakher Abou El Oun JAN 22,14-yahoonews
"If Hamas and the terror organisations have forgotten this lesson, they will learn it again powerfully very soon," he said on Tuesday.Defence Minister Moshe Yaalon echoed Netanyahu's remarks, saying Israel would use "any means" against Gaza."We will not hesitate to use force to combat those who threaten our security, and we will do this using any means we possess," he said in a statement, calling Wednesday's strike "another stage in our fight against rocket fire".Yaalon's deputy Danny Danon said: "Those who engage in terrorism will pay a high price for their actions."Israel has insisted that Hamas will be held entirely responsible for any rockets fired from the enclave.On Tuesday, Hamas said it had deployed forces to "preserve the truce."But experts said the Islamist movement might have trouble restraining rocket fire from Gaza, given the pressure it is under not to kowtow to its sworn enemy."Israel's decision to go back to a policy of targeted assassinations, targeting Palestinians who are suspected of launching rockets... will gradually lead to a dangerous escalation between the Gaza Strip and Israel," said Mkhaimer Abu Saada, a political science professor at Gaza's Al-Azhar University."There will be retaliation from other groups, but Hamas will even find it difficult to control its own (armed wing the) Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades."Over the past month, tensions have soared in and around Gaza after more than a year of relative calm.Since December 20, six Palestinians and an Israeli have been killed in violence in and around the territory, with militant rocket fire sparking retaliatory air strikes.

4 I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.
5 Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred,(AGAINST ISRAEL) and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an end:
6 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee.
11 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee.
12 And thou shalt know that I am the LORD, and that I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume.

Syrian peace talks stuck over Assad's future
By MATTHEW LEE and ZEINA KARAM

He also criticized the opposition coalition, which is based in Turkey and is largely made up of exiles with little sway on events inside Syria.State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki later criticized the Syrian government's rhetoric as "inflammatory."At least 130,000 people have been killing in the fighting that began with a peaceful uprising against Assad's rule in March 2011, according to activists, who are the only ones still keeping count after the U.N. abandoned its efforts. The fighting in Syria has become a proxy war between regional powers Iran and Saudi Arabia, and taken on post-Cold War overtones with Russia and the United States backing opposite sides.The question of Assad's future goes to the heart of the peace conference with the stated goal of a transitional government for Syria. Notably absent was Iran, which along with Russia has been Assad's most forceful supporter.Ban invited, then disinvited Iran at the last minute, after the Syrian opposition threatened to back out of the peace talks less than 48 hours before their start.Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal, whose government has funneled millions to the rebels, said "it goes without saying that Assad has no role in Syria's future." He also called on foreign forces to withdraw from Syria, including the Iranian Revolutionary Guards and Hezbollah militias.Syrian state television aired al-Moallem's speech in full, but then cut away to archive footage of car bombs and sectarian attacks during speeches by opposition leader al-Jarba and the Turkish foreign minister — keeping their discourse in the background.Diplomats have played down expectations for the Swiss peace talks, although they have said repeatedly they are the only hope for ending Syria's civil war. But Assad's forces have gained ground in recent months, and the man whose family has led Syria since 1970 has tried to portray the rebellion as one driven by foreign terrorists who are trying to create an al-Qaida-inspired haven.The president of Iran, which has given Assad billions in aid, including weapons and Shiite fighters, said the talks were likely to fail."Considering all signs, I don't have much hope that this meeting can succeed in fighting terrorism, because some countries sponsoring terrorism are taking part," said Iranian President Hassan Rouhani. "Also I don't think it will succeed in establishing peace and stability because the countries that created the instability are taking part."After the bitter speeches, the diplomats settled in for an afternoon of bilateral meetings. Those included the second in less than 24 hours between Kerry and his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov, who together had hammered out the landmark agreement last fall that saw Assad give up Syria's chemical weapons program."The talks between Syrian parties aren't going to be simple and quick," Lavrov said in his address. "The conference is not 100 percent certain, but still a real chance to achieve peace."Later this week in Geneva, Syria's warring sides will sit down for their first face-to-face meeting since the conflict erupted."I pray that the Lord touches everyone's hearts so that they do everything in their power to urgently end the violence," said Pope Francis, who also sent a delegation to the talks.___Associated Press writers Desmond Butler and Lori Hinnant contributed.

Japan PM Abe urges military restraint in Asia in swipe at China
1 hour ago-JAN 22,14-yahoonews
Sino-Japanese ties, long colored by what Beijing
considers Tokyo's failure to atone for its brutal occupation of parts of
China before and during World War Two, have deteriorated in the past
two years over a territorial dispute, Abe's visit to a shrine that
critics say glorifies Japan's wartime past and a new Chinese air-defense
zone.Asia's two biggest powers each accuse the other of bellicosity."We must ... restrain military expansion in Asia, which could otherwise
go unchecked," Abe told the annual Davos policy forum. He is the first
Japanese prime minister to give the keynote speech at the gathering."The dividend of growth must not be wasted on military expansion," he
said. "We must use it to invest in innovation and human capital, which
will further boost growth in the region."He added: "Japan has sworn an oath never again to wage a war... We will continue to be wishing for the world to be at peace."Abe is pursuing a more assertive military and national-security policy,
such as moving towards approving the use of force to help allies under
attack and calling for debate on revising Japan's pacifist post-war
constitution.His government has ended years of declines in
defense spending and plans modest increases in coming years. At the same
time, Tokyo has criticized China's decades of hefty rises in military
spending and implicitly accused Beijing of a lack of transparency in its
defense budgets."Military budgets should be made completely
transparent and there should be public disclosure in a form that can be
verified," Abe said, following his government's custom of not naming
China in such references.He also called for resolving disputes
through "dialogue and the rule of law, and not through force and
coercion", a formula Japan has used to criticize China's actions
including its abrupt declaration in November of an "air defense
identification zone" overlapping the disputed East China Sea islets
controlled by Japan."We must lay down rules that promote actions
based on the international law of the sea," he said. "Only then, I
believe, can we achieve growth and prosperity in Asia, where all of us
can realize our great potential."China demands that all aircraft flying through the zone identify themselves to Chinese authorities.
Japan has urged China to rescind the decision, and its military and
civilian aircraft have defied the requirements, flying through the zone
without notifying China. Japan's treaty ally, the United States, refuses
to recognize the zone and has sent military aircraft through it.Abe also reiterated his plans to revive growth in the world's
third-biggest economy, increase the participation of women in society
and review the portfolio of Japan's $1.2 trillion Government Pension
Investment Fund.(Reporting by Elaine Lies; Editing by Nick Macfie) FALSE POPE FROM THE VATICAN

5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.(THE VATICAN IS BUILT ON 7 HILLS OR MOUNTAINS)
15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.(VATICAN-CATHOLICS ALL AROUND THE WORLD OVER 1 BILLION)
16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast,(WORLD DICTATOR) these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

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.

Blizzard deteriorates road conditions in Nova Scotia
Flights, services classes cancelled ahead of winter blast, but some residents find ways to make most of it
Much of Nova Scotia is at a standstill as a blizzard whips
across the region, rapidly deteriorating road conditions and cancelling
services.Police say there have been several accidents.The first wave dusted the region with five to seven centimetres
of snow in the morning, but CBC meteorologist Kalin Mitchell said the
worst of the weather conditions will hit between noon and 8 p.m. AT."The second, heavier round of snow will bring in additional
accumulations of 15 to 25 centimetres through the afternoon and into the
evening," he said.Winds are also expected to pick up and the north and northeast gusts will approach 80 km/h.
Nova Scotia RCMP are asking people not to drive, unless absolutely necessary.A car and a plow collided in Musquodoboit harbour on Wednesday, sending one person to hospital.Another vehicle ended up in a lake off Waverley Road after the driver lost control. No one was hurt.Mitchell said the worst times to drive will be between noon and 8 p.m.So far all public schools and most private schools are cancelled in the province. Flights at Halifax's Stanfield International Airport are grounded and Marine Atlantic has cancelled its crossing between North Sydney and southern Newfoundland.A growing list of offices are also closing, including the main malls.Snowplow crews have been out since midnight in Halifax.Darrin Natolino, acting superintendent of winter works for the region, said the first push is getting regional plows out and then hiring contractors if need be.“We basically just keep adding on trucks and equipment until we get to the point that we're able to keep up to the storm. In a storm like this, where it'll be sustained throughout the course of a 24-hour period, we also have to be aware of what time we deploy our heavy equipment,” he said.Natolino said this is just the beginning of what could be a long couple of days for those out plowing the streets.“Obviously if there's more cars on the road traffic it is slower, the snow's getting packed down and of course since the traffic is slower, so are our snowplows,” he said.The provincial team in Antigonish is using borrowed equipment after three plows were destroyed by a fire on Monday. The cause of that fire is still under investigation.
Despite the frosty weather, Munroe prefers to deliver mail in shorts. He claims he hasn’t worn pants in decades.“Doesn’t happen. I never put pants on,” he said. “I don’t mind this.”It's not tax season yet, so Donna Skeffington is making some extra cash clearing the sidewalks.She’s a tax accountant by trade, but on Tuesday morning, she was found shovelling the sidewalks downtown.“I'm just waiting for the Revenue Canada doors to open up and meanwhile, I'm shovelling snow, getting exercise and getting paid for it,” she said.For cancellations click here.
Whiteout conditions
Mitchell said that will mean visibility across Nova Scotia will get progressively worse, down to whiteout conditions, through the afternoon.'I'm shovelling snow, getting exercise and getting paid for it.'- Donna Skeffington, Nova Scotia residentNova Scotia RCMP are asking people not to drive, unless absolutely necessary.A car and a plow collided in Musquodoboit harbour on Wednesday, sending one person to hospital.Another vehicle ended up in a lake off Waverley Road after the driver lost control.

Working through the snow
Dozens of offices and businesses are closed, but for some, like Laurie Munroe, it’s work as usual.Despite the frosty weather, Munroe prefers to deliver mail in shorts.

Bitterly cold US digs out of northeast snow
48 minutes ago-JAN 22,14-Yahoonews
More than 1,700 plows were to be mobilized across America's biggest city Tuesday night to clear up to 10 inches of snow.But when the flakes hit earlier than expected Tuesday, residents across New York complained that road crews were too slow to mobilize, causing a string of accidents and traffic gridlock.
"I can't believe de
Blasio could do this. He is putting everyone in danger," Barbara
Tamerin, 70, was quoted as telling The New York Post on the well-heeled
Upper East Side."What is he thinking? I can barely get around -- and I'm on snowshoes!"In
Washington DC, it was back to work for the federal government, which
told civil servants -- who already had Monday off for the Martin Luther
King holiday -- to stay home Tuesday.On Wednesday, federal
agencies were to open two hours late. Employees could also take
unscheduled leave, and those that can were allowed to work from home.Most area schools, in the city and neighboring Maryland and Virginia, were to remain closed again Wednesday.The
commute was slow, the glare of the sunshine combined with sand and salt
on the roads mucking up windshields, making visibility poor and causing
drivers to pull over on the highway.Chicago residential areas
were still digging out Wednesday after being dumped with six to 12
inches of snow, canceling hundreds of flights and slowing trains, an AFP
reporter said.Philadelphia recorded up to 14 inches of snow on Tuesday, the National Weather Service said."On
the East Coast, the biggest snowfall event of the season thus far is
wrapping up for the Mid-Atlantic and will persist until early Wednesday
for southern New England," it said.FlightAware,
a website that monitors air traffic in real time, said more than 1,400
flights into, out of or within the United States had been canceled
Wednesday and nearly 3,000 Tuesday.National
rail company Amtrak said it would operate "a modified schedule" on its
Northeast Corridor line between Washington and Boston, as well as on two
other routes in the hard-hit region.In total governors of three states -- Delaware, New Jersey and New York -- declared states of emergency.New
Jersey's Chris Christie, who is battling allegations that his office
bullied political foes, also canceled a gala on Ellis Island in New York
Harbor to mark the start of his new term.
New Rob Ford video leaves council members frustrated, stunned
Toronto mayor should step down for the good of the city, Coun. Michael Thompson says
The latest video to appear on YouTube featuring Toronto Mayor Rob
Ford has spurred one city councillor to call for him to step down, while
another says voters will decide if he holds onto his job when they head
to the polls in October.Coun. Michael Thompson said the mayor's most recent drunken rant is
further proof that Ford is unfit for the office of mayor and should
resign for the good of the city."I was just dumbfounded," Thompson said Wednesday in an interview on CBC Radio's Metro Morning.
"We'd heard from the mayor that he was turning over a new leaf.
Everyone was hoping that he would change. We're learning now that he
hasn't changed, he's not able to change."Filmed Monday evening at a fast-food restaurant, the video shows an intoxicated Ford ranting and swearing while mimicking a Jamaican-style patois.When asked about the video Tuesday, Ford admitted to drinking the
night the video was shot, but said he was on his own time and in the
company of friends.Coun. Denzil Minnan-Wong said the mayor’s admission that he was
drinking again is a sign that he has not dealt with an issue that is
affecting him."I think the reality is that the mayor clearly has a problem with alcohol and that he needs help," Minnan-Wong said.Minnan-Wong said that the mayor’s issues and how they affect his
ability to do his job will be something that voters will consider ahead
of the October municipal election."Do they want someone who’s got an addiction problem, who’s going to
hang out with known criminals? You know, that is a very legitimate
question to ask the voters and they’ll have to evaluate that."
"He needs to get help for his own well-being," said Thompson. "This is something we see in front of us where he's imploding."In November, Ford told CBC chief correspondent Peter Mansbridge he was "done" with drinking, had experienced a "come-to-Jesus" moment and vowed to change his behaviour.Those comments came after a scandal-filled 2013 in which Ford admitted to smoking crack in a "drunken stupor," appeared drunk and ranting in another video, was the subject of a police investigation and made numerous inappropriate comments.Last fall, Ford said he planned to get help with his weight problem but he didn't need help to stop drinking.
Given Ford's behaviour, he isn't optimistic the mayor will take those steps. Ford plans to seek re-election in October.In the meantime, Thompson said, Ford's antics, which have become regular fodder for television comics, have hurt Toronto's reputation worldwide.
"The position of mayor and councillors should be held in high regard," said Thompson. "We should … provide good governance and behaviour associated with our respective positions, and it's not taking place with the mayor."When Ford arrived at city hall Wednesday morning, he refused to answer questions from a group of reporters waiting to speak with him. He attended an executive committee meeting that has been chaired by Kelly since council voted in the fall to strip Ford of his powers.A frustrated Ford pushed his way through a crowd of reporters when he left the meeting later Wednesday."Stop pushing me, man!" the mayor said at one point, as he barrelled through a hallway filled with reporters and photojournalists.Kelly issued a statement Wednesday saying council will continue to do its work despite the controversy surrounding Ford.
"We cannot be distracted by the personal actions of others," Kelly said.Premier Kathleen Wynne was also asked about the new Ford video on Wednesday.The premier expressed concern that the "discussion about one person's personal issues can detract and distract from the business of growing Toronto."With files from The Canadian Press
Rob Ford 'imploding' says Coun. Thompson
Thompson said he heard about the video while working with Deputy Mayor Norm Kelly and other councillors to hammer out details of the city budget. Thompson told Metro Morning host Matt Galloway the video is proof Ford should step aside before causing more embarrassment to the city he represents.

Difficult to quit without help, expert says
Dennis Long, executive director of Toronto's Breakaway Addiction Services, said it's unlikely anyone with a chemical dependence problem can quit without professional help."People often say, 'Well I'm just going to stop.' In the vast majority of cases, that doesn’t work," Long said on Metro Morning."You can't just walk out and say, 'I'm done with drinking.' It's not that simple. Getting yourself free of a chemical dependency is a long-term project. We're not talking days or weeks or months. We're talking years."Galloway asked Long what advice he would offer Ford. Long responded that he would advise the mayor to step away from the daily scrutiny of his job and get help."[I would say] 'This isn't working for you, you really need to step away for awhile, and sit down with somebody and figure out how you're going to change your behaviour.'"Given Ford's behaviour, he isn't optimistic the mayor will take those steps. Ford plans to seek re-election in October.In the meantime, Thompson said, Ford's antics, which have become regular fodder for television comics, have hurt Toronto's reputation worldwide.
