HAPPY ROSH-HASHANA ISRAEL-SHALOM PEACE IN EVERYTHING-6PM ISRAEL TIME-11AM EASTERN STANDARD TIME ROSH-HASHANA 2014 OFFICIALLY STARTS.
Poll: 61% of Jewish Israelis Don't Trust the Government-Stats in Peace Index poll include how Arabs and Jews view ISIS's threat to Israel - and which party is least popular with its own voters.By Ari Soffer-First Publish: 9/23/2014, 10:18 PM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS
A recent poll has revealed serious mistrust in the current Israeli government's performance by the public, particularly vis-a-vis the summer's war with Gazan terrorists, which many Israelis feel was not completed satisfactorily - as well as some interesting statistics regarding the attitude of Arab voters.The results of a Peace Index survey released Tuesday showed that 61% of Jewish Israelis mistrust the government in general - and a segmentation of the respondents according to their political affiliations revealed that voters from across the spectrum were united in disappointment, though to varying degrees.Some two thirds of respondents who identified as politically "centrist" expressed such negative sentiments - as did a full 80% of self-described left-wingers. At the same time, just over half of right-wing voters felt the same way, despite the coalition being led by a right-wing party (Likud). 69.5% of Arab voters say they were dissatisfied with the government's performance - a high rate, but notably less so than among leftist Jewish voters.The authors of the report noted that such negative sentiments may explain why just 52% of respondents said they were satisfied with the performance of the party they voted for in the last election.
Yesh Atid voters particularly unhappy
Some voters, however, bucked the trend - most notably those on the far-left and among hareidi voters.
The most satisfied camp were those who supported the Ashkenazic-hareidi United Torah Judaism party (UTJ), with a full 93% saying they were pleased with their party's performance. That is perhaps not so surprising considering that most UTJ voters tend to come either from hassidic or Lithuanian hareidi institutions which simply vote in accordance with the directives of their rabbis.The second-most satisfied voters were those who backed the far-left Meretz party, 80% of whom were happy with the party's performance in the opposition.The least satisfied voters were those who cast their last ballot for Finance Minister Yair Lapid's secularist Yesh Atid party; 40% of Yesh Atid voters said they are unhappy with their party of choice's performance. The results will add to Lapid's woes, as successive polls have shown his party losing half of its current 19 Knesset seats in the next election. It also comes amid embarrassing reports that Yesh Atid was rejected by left-wing and Arab opposition parties when senior party officials sent out feelers to gauge support for Lapid as opposition leader should he make good on threats to leave the government if Prime Minister Netanyahu does not end his opposition to the finance minister's budget proposals.
Arab voters feeling unrepresented
Among Arab voters, only a quarter said they had even voted in the last elections - but a surprisingly high number of those who did, some 38%, said they were dissatisfied with their party's performance, compared to just 28% who said they were satisfied. Those figures jibe with reports prior to 2013's elections which indicated that many Israeli Arabs felt that Arab MKs tended to take extremist positions and focus on foreign policy instead of representing their constituency's needs and focusing on local issues.Regarding Operation Protective Edge, 52% of respondents were less than enamored with the government's performance, although 46% thought that Israel achieved more in the operation, as opposed to just 13% who felt that Hamas came out on top. Arab voters, however had a very different perspective: just 4.5% thought Israel had achieved more in the war, compared to 40% who thought Hamas did.Despite the negative responses to both the operation and the government's overall performance, over 61% of the Jewish Israeli public were either very satisfied or moderately satisfied with the government's performance in the security domain.On the topic of the Islamic State, or ISIS, terrorist group, the poll revealed that most Israeli Jews (55%) agree with the position of former military intelligence chief Amos Yadlin that the group did not present a significant threat to Israel's existence, compared to 39% who do. Among Israeli Arabs, 53% felt ISIS was not a threat to Israel, whereas 43% think it is.
Op-Ed: Two Bestial Murderers: Justice on Earth - and in Heaven-There will still be a trial but not on earth; in fact, the trial is taking place at this moment in the Courts of Heaven.Published: Tuesday, September 23, 2014 3:36 PM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS-Paula R. Stern
On June 30th, Israel learned the news it had been dreading. For 18 days we had been consumed...please God, bring them home...all of them, at least two...at least one. Please God, don't let us lose all three. We can't bear to see the families suffer more; those precious mothers and fathers who continue to offer us hope and courage and faith; who demand that we hold on and be optimistic.
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8A5Mj4AIbQVOAH6cqt56MuysC2mWIF5E4p0LHcxdashs9TcfBWSULihazZSl-utKn4pHjDSB_TLxiRZr2PkaVnkhRe1wROy7WJBY4KQSlSM5qKz75I-BHEYG4IyusJ10LT3Vm0w/s1600/boys-kidnapped.jpg
And then, on that day, word began to leak out...it's bad. Very bad...as bad and as horrible as it gets. The next day, there were the funerals...and shortly after that, the war began.We are waiting now - waiting to see what happens on Rosh Hashana. The boys' deaths helped uncover a plan to launch a massive attack on Rosh Hashana - hundreds likely would have died, been injured...we can only imagine the damage that could have taken place as Jews gathered in synagogues across the country. Instead, the tunnels have been destroyed - it not all, than most. Hundreds of Hamas operatives (terrorists and killers) are dead and we enter this new year with hope and faith. And as we do, the news comes that our soldiers have tracked down the killers of the three boys. Justice has been done.There will still be a trial but not on earth; in fact, the trial is taking place at this moment in the Courts of Heaven. On June 30th, in anger and anguish, I wrote of the deepest pain:I thought of so many messages as I drove back from Nof Ayalon tonight. The first was to the killers - congratulations, I wanted to tell them. You successfully murdered three children. What brave men you are, what heroes you are. Your mothers are proud of you...and perhaps for that I pity you most. With mothers like that, no wonder you grew into the twisted animals you are. They think you are heroes; they think you are brave. It doesn't really take much bravery to murder three children, but never mind...you'll have to be very brave now because the most successful and brave men, the real heroes in this world, our sons, will be hunting you now.
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMI79BBkfQ6DTN3KJ2JvVH2VJNVDoS0Tt1EbsKiXd_ZNHLi1521pyDpeTE6ZekXbh4PCC8f1PsZLt3qR7byWmgG4CeHwBBp7KKaMGD40tgRAPOBctHsvsEjC9XBtFaUlVlTrYc0w/s1600/killers.jpg
You won't last long. It may take a week, a few weeks, it might even take months. You'll live these last days, weeks, or months hiding like the sniveling cowards you are.There will be true justice. Perhaps it will take 18 days before you are caught, one day for each of the days you made these families and these nations suffer. But whether man's justice takes days or weeks or months or years, God's justice is eternal. When you meet God; then you will understand. Then and only then, will you pay the price for what you have done. Gilad, Naftali and Eyal are with God now, in a better place, loved and cherished...your future, God knows.I hope, I pray, I beg our soldiers to kill you in the firefight that will come.And so the next message is to Israel's soldiers. Please, please find a way. I don't care what the world says now - let them die. We have no death penalty in Israel; the only one we have ever put to death in 66 years is Adolf Eichmann for crimes against the Jewish people. Their aim was true. They ended it. For Naftali. For Eyal. For Gilad. For their mothers. For all of Israel.So please, find a way, this time, let them die. Don't bring them to "justice", to Israel's courts. They'll be convicted and sentenced to life in prison - where their wives will come visit and they'll breed more children in hate. They'll study in prison and get a university degree and they'll watch the World Cup. And then some stupid Israeli leader will release them for another kidnapped victim - or worse, the bodies of the kidnapped victims. In those seconds when the battle rages, may your aim be true. The world will condemn us no matter what we do - better they condemn us for the deaths of these murderers, than they condemn us for throwing them in jail and then when the murderers declare a hunger strike, demand that we release them. In those seconds, when you have them in range, end it. For Naftali. For Eyal. For Gilad. For their mothers. For Israel. End it.And this is what they did - with the help of the terrorists themselves who opened fire when they were surrounded; who gave our soldiers no choice which was, ultimately, the best choice of all. Their aim was true. They ended it. For Naftali. For Eyal. For Gilad. For their mothers. For all of Israel.And the final message is to the Israeli government. We are watching you. We need to believe in you now. You know the anger and the pain of Jewish blood being taken this way. Act now. Do something - stop this from happening again.This remains my final message, my final challenge. There is no more we can do for the three boys, other than to hold on to the love and the unity that in their deaths was born. But in their memory, our government can pledge that no one will ever thing Jewish blood is cheap again. We promised we would hunt them down...and we did. For this ending, there is a new beginning - a new year.May the memory of Gilad, Eyal and Naftali always be blessed; may their families know no more sorrow, and more, may they know our gratitude. In their grace, with their faith, they led us through what was, without question, the worst moments of their lives. May they go from strength to strength with our love.
The Ultimate Mission to Israel'-Shurat HaDin - Israel Law Center provides exclusive access to key Israeli intelligence, security experts.By Promotional Content-First Publish: 9/23/2014, 5:29 PM-ISRAEL NATIONALNEWS
World Jewry and the State of Israel are facing trying times. According to a number of reports, anti-Israel sentiment and global anti-Semitism are on the rise. Despite these challenges, Israel remains an alluring travel destination calling to travelers from all corners of the world, and is internationally acknowledged as a leader in self-sustainability and innovative thinking.One organization that exemplifies these qualities is Shurat HaDin – Israel Law Center. An Israeli-based civil rights organization and world leader in creatively combating terrorist regimes and the BDS movement, Shurat HaDin – Israel Law Center is in a unique position to offer, in November 2014, 8 days of unparalleled access into the judicial, military, political, and humanitarian reality in the State of Israel: the “Ultimate Mission to Israel.”At a fantastic value, participants will enjoy five star accommodations, luxury transportation, a personal cell phone, and delicious cuisine while experiencing scenic and cultural opportunities to explore the political hotbed that is Israel. A team of hand-selected travel experts have designed the Mission itinerary and will lead the group every step of the way, providing a first-class experience into the fabric of who and what composes life in Israel.Participants will go beyond sensational media headlines to hear directly from Mossad officers, Shin Bet commanders, IDF intelligence and operations officers about what’s really happening on Israel’s military and intelligence fronts. Tours of the Lebanese and Syrian front-line military positions and Gaza border check-points, first-hand observations of Hamas terrorist trials, and intimate conversations with legendary Israeli war heroes and Arab intelligence agents will provide intense exploration and deep understanding of Israel’s survival and security in the geopolitical reality of the Middle East today.Beyond politics and security expertise, Israel contains abundant opportunities for adventure and activity. To enhance participants’ growing sense of the terrain, the Ultimate Mission offers scenic and cultural opportunities such as ATV’ing in the Golan Heights, a breathtaking boat ride on the moonlit Sea of Galilee, and a traditional Shabbat experience in the Old City of Jerusalem, which is holy to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.Situated at the crossroads of three continents, Israel is an intriguing travel destination where culture, religion and politics coalesce. Those on the Ultimate Mission will discover that the issues in Israel are not black and white but complex narratives woven throughout both the physical landscape as well as the culture and historical collective memories binding the Israeli people.Don’t miss this opportunity to explore Israel off the beaten track, feel the conflict first hand, understand the security issues and politic realities, and have an unforgettable trip! "The Mission far exceed my expectations," said Lawrence, a trip participant. "I honestly did not believe that I would experience and witness all the incredible sounding itinerary items outlined."Even my Israeli friends (all whom had served in the Israeli army) told me I was dreaming and that there was no way Shurat HaDin – Israel Law Center or anyone else for that matter could arrange access to such high calibre speakers, access to military bases and other high security installations. However the Shurat HaDin Ultimate Mission did just that and provided the Mission participants an uncompromising real life insight to the threats facing Israel on a daily basis."As a result of attending this Mission, I have filled substantial gaps in my knowledge on Israel, its citizens and its place amongst its neighbouring countries. The trip has also connected me with like- minded people from around the world that have now become dear friends."I recommend this trip without a shadow of a doubt to anyone that wants to obtain the truth on the challenges facing Israel and the high morals this country holds with its Jewish and non-Jewish population and its approach with its adversaries."The May 2014 Mission will definitely not be my last."
Palestinians seek $3.8B in aid for Gaza-Associated Press-By MOHAMMED DARAGHMEH-SEPT 23,14-YAHOONEWS
NEW YORK (AP) — Palestinian Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah said Tuesday he has asked for $3.8 billion in urgent aid to help rebuild Gaza following its devastating 50-day war with Israel this summer.
Hamdallah told The Associated Press that Saudi Arabia has pledged $500 million and other nations have indicated they would join in. He spoke at the end of a donor meeting lead by Norway on the sidelines of a gathering of world leaders at the United Nations.The aid request comes as Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas Abbas is preparing to submit a resolution to the U.N. Security Council seeking a three-year timetable for the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the West Bank.Palestinian officials said the resolution will be handed in immediately after Abbas speaks at the U.N. General Assembly on Friday.The recent Gaza war has weakened Abbas domestically, with Hamas enjoying a surge of popularity among Palestinians for fighting Israel. He is under pressure at home to come up with a new political strategy after his repeated but failed attempts to establish a Palestinian state through U.S.-mediated negotiations with Israel.Abbas was meeting with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry later Tuesday and express little optimism the resolution would survive a Security Council vote. The United States will almost certainly veto such a measure, having said the only resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is through direct negotiations between the two sides.A day earlier, Abbas said a U.N. rejection of the resolution would prompt him to seek membership in international institutions and agencies. Aides said that would include the International Criminal Court, opening the door to war crimes charges against Israel for its military actions in Gaza and Jewish settlement construction on West Bank land the Palestinians want for a future state..Abbas adviser Nabil Abu Rdeneh has said the Palestinian leader would present a new strategy his U.N. speech. In recent weeks, Abbas and his aides have hinted at the outlines.Under the plan, Abbas would ask the U.N. Security Council to issue a binding resolution, with a specific date for ending Israel's occupation of the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem. Captured by Israel in 1967, the territories were recognized by the U.N. General Assembly in 2012 as making up a state of Palestine.The U.S. has urged Abbas not to turn to the Security Council, but has not offered an alternative, said a Palestinian official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not allowed to discuss internal deliberations with the media. Abbas will use meetings on the sidelines of the General Assembly to gauge international support for his plan, said the official."This week I will propose to the United Nations a new timetable for peace talks. The key is to agree on a map to delineate the borders of each country," Abbas said.He said he is frustrated with the Israeli government, accusing it of expanding settlements on Palestinian land rather that making peace.

The United States will almost certainly veto such a measure, having said the only resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is through direct negotiations between the two sides.A day earlier, Abbas said a U.N. rejection of the resolution would prompt him to seek membership in international institutions and agencies. Aides said that would include the International Criminal Court, opening the door to war crimes charges against Israel for its military actions in Gaza and Jewish settlement construction on West Bank land the Palestinians want for a future state..Abbas adviser Nabil Abu Rdeneh has said the Palestinian leader would present a new strategy his U.N. speech. In recent weeks, Abbas and his aides have hinted at the outlines.Under the plan, Abbas would ask the U.N. Security Council to issue a binding resolution, with a specific date for ending Israel's occupation of the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem. Captured by Israel in 1967, the territories were recognized by the U.N. General Assembly in 2012 as making up a state of Palestine.The U.S. has urged Abbas not to turn to the Security Council, but has not offered an alternative, said a Palestinian official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not allowed to discuss internal deliberations with the media. Abbas will use meetings on the sidelines of the General Assembly to gauge international support for his plan, said the official."This week I will propose to the United Nations a new timetable for peace talks. The key is to agree on a map to delineate the borders of each country," Abbas said.He said he is frustrated with the Israeli government, accusing it of expanding settlements on Palestinian land rather that making peace.
