13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways:
17 And the way of peace have they not known:
18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.

Belgium in talks on joint EU recognition of Palestine-05.12.14 @ 08:51-By Andrew Rettman-EUOBSERVER
BRUSSELS - Belgium is on course to join a new group of EU countries calling for Palestine recognition.Its federal parliament is expected to vote next week on a draft motion asking the Belgian government to do it at a future point when it sees fit. It is legally non-binding and doesn't mention a deadline.The initiative comes after four of the biggest parties - the N-VA, MR, CD&V, and VLD - agreed to back the project.But for its part, the Belgian foreign ministry wants to wait for two developments.It wants to see if a new French-Jordanian UN Security Council project to get an Israel-Palestine peace deal by 2016 bears fruit.It also wants to see if a new EU Special Representative for the Middle East Peace Process, to be appointed shortly, can make an impact.“We’ve had 20 years of the peace process with no outcome and there is a lot of frustration in Europe with the lack of good will in Israel. But the time hasn’t come to abandon it [the process] yet”, a Belgian diplomat told EUobserver.He noted that Belgium is in talks with like-minded EU states who plan to jointly recognise Palestine if need be.He said the likely recognisers include Britain, France, Ireland, and Spain - where parliaments also passed pro-recognition motions in the past six weeks.He added that other potential recognisers include Austria, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, and Portugal, which voted Yes on Palestine’s UN “observer state” status in 2012.“You can only recognise a country once. So we want to do it when it has the maximum impact … We don’t want to go it alone. We want to do it as part of a co-ordinated decision by the European Union or, at least, with as many [EU] partners as possible”.Asked on Thursday (4 December) if the US would back EU recognition, Marie Harf, a State Department spokeswoman took the Israeli line, saying: “We believe the path forward here is direct negotiations between the two sides”.But the EU and US do see eye to eye in other areas.The EU last year blocked grants and loans to Israeli settler entities with Washington's tacit approval.Israeli daily Haaretz on Thursday said the White House is working on similar measures to deter settlement expansion, with Harf declining to confirm or deny the report.The Belgian diplomat added that EU recognition will only make a difference if the US, Israel’s security sponsor, tries to re-launch Arab-Israeli talks at the same time.“What can you do? At the end of the day, any real peace will have to be made by the two sides, not by us".
Syria Demands UN Impose Sanctions on Israel-Syria’s Foreign Ministry demands UN impose sanctions in response to "Israeli aggression on Syrian soil", following alleged airstrikes.By Ben Ariel-First Publish: 12/8/2014, 2:15 AM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS
Syria’s Foreign Ministry on Sunday demanded that the United Nations impose sanctions on Israel in response to what it termed “the Israeli aggression on the Syrian soil”, hours after Syria accused Israel of carrying out airstrikes against two government-held areas in Damascus province.In a letter addressed to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the UN Security Council, the Syrian Foreign Ministry said, according to the SANA news agency, that Israel “has committed a heinous crime against the sovereignty of Syria as Israeli warplanes attacked two safe areas in al-Dimas and near Damascus International Airport in Damascus Countryside, causing material damage in a number of institutions there.”The letter claimed, as Syria has done in the past, that “the attack is in the framework of extending help and support to the armed terrorist groups in Syria, especially after the series of achievements made by the Syrian army in Deir Ezzor, Aleppo, Daraa and other areas.”“The attack also aims at covering up the internal disputes in Israel through diverting the attention away from the collapse of the Israeli coalition government and the extremism of this government, embodied in its continued occupation of the Arab territories and violation of the international legitimacy and law in addition to UN Security Council’s resolutions,” the letter said.The letter further said that the Syrian government is calling to impose “deterring sanctions on Israel, which did not hide its policy in supporting terrorism,” according to SANA.
2014: Arabs Built 550 Illegal Structures in Area C Alone-Knesset committee is told that Arab illegal construction is 16 times that of Jews, per person.By Gil Ronen-First Publish: 12/7/2014, 10:32 PM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS
The Subcommittee for Judea and Samaria of the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee hosted on Sunday the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), Major General Yoav Mordechai, for a discussion of illegal construction in Judea and Samaria.According to information presented to the committee, about 550 illegal structures were built by Arabs in Areas C in the course of 2014, as opposed to 150 illegal structures built by Jews. Bearing in mind that the Arab population in Areas C is smaller than the Jewish one – about 90,000 Arabs compared with about 400,000 Jews – the rate of illegal construction in the Arab sector is 16 times that in the Jewish sector.Subcommittee Chairman MK Moti Yogev (Jewish Home) demanded that the security authorities carry out demolition orders against illegal structures and present a timetable for the relocation of Bedouins from the Abu Dis and northern Jericho area. In addition, he demanded that international organizations encouraging illegal building be reined in."Based on my past experience,” he said, “with the cooperation of the Israel Police, we removed the foreign lawbreakers in the past, through the court, and expelled them from Israel. This is what is required today, too, of the elements in Central Command, the Civil Administration and the Foreign Ministry – to enforce the law.”MK Orit Struk (Jewish Home) said the information presented to the committee shows an “astronomical” rate of illegal construction by Arabs in Areas C. She said the phenomenon was “organized, funded and timed by the Palestinian Authority (PA) and the European Union,” and blamed the IDF's Civil Administration for failing to forestall it.The NGO Regavim presented the committee with aerial photographs that show that the PA is systematically encouraging illegal construction in the area next to Jerusalem. The construction is funded by EU states, in contravention of the law and previous agreements.Regavim's Ovad Arad accused the Israeli defense establishment of standing by idly as the PA works day and night to take over state land. He said that some of the delays in enforcement stem from legal obstacles, but it does not stand to reason that the legal advisor of the Civil Administration is the one who runs the Administration, de facto. In addition, he claimed, the Administration sits on its hands even when there are no legal obstacles to demolishing illegal structures.A source in COGAT denied, in a conversation with Arutz Sheva, that there is any discrimination against Jews in enforcement of demolition orders.
Canadian Jihadist Threatens Terrorism in Canada-Muslim convert who left Canada to join ISIS threatens Canadians they will be “indiscriminately targeted”.By Dalit Halevi-First Publish: 12/8/2014, 1:13 AM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS
A Muslim convert who left Canada last year to join the Islamic State (ISIS) resurfaced in a propaganda video on Sunday to threaten Canadians they will be “indiscriminately targeted” in retaliation for joining the international military coalition fighting the terror group.According to the National Post, in a six-minute video, the man said the October killings of two Canadian Forces members in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec, and Ottawa by men who had adopted Islamist extremist beliefs were a “direct response” to Canada’s role in Iraq.“The more bombs you drop on our people, the more Muslims will realize and understand that today, waging jihad against the West and its allies around the world is beyond a shadow of the doubt a religious obligation binding upon every Muslim,” he said.While he identified himself as Abu Anwar al-Canadi, three former friends said they recognized him as John Maguire, a former University of Ottawa student who converted to Islam and became radicalized before vanishing last year.His family told the National Post the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) had told his mother he was in Syria and had travelled there on a one-way ticket. Posting online under the name “Yahya” Maguire, he had called Canada “evil” and said that he wanted “the opportunity for martyrdom.”Originally from Kemptville, Ontario, the 24-year-old is one of the dozens of Canadians believed to be fighting with extremist groups in Iraq and Syria.Since the attacks in Quebec and Ottawa, the government has proposed new legislation to better track them abroad.“Terrorism remains a real and serious threat to Canadians, which is why we must remain vigilant,” said Steven Blaney, Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, in a statement on Sunday.“That is why we are taking part in the coalition that is currently conducting air strikes against [ISIS], and supporting the security forces in Iraq in their fight against this terrorist scourge,” added Blaney. “It is also the reason that we are working very determinedly to strengthen the tools available to the police and intelligence community to better protect us.”‘The video, posted onto Twitter and jihadi Web forums, and distributed by the SITE Intelligence Group, said Canada was “waging war” against Muslims. “So it should not surprise you when operations by the Muslims are executed where it hurts you the most – on your very own soil – in retaliation to your unprovoked acts of aggression towards our people,” Maguire said.“You have absolutely no right to live in a state of safety and security when your country is carrying out atrocities on our people,” he added. “Your people will be indiscriminately targeted as you indiscriminately target our people.”Like many jihadists, Maguire claimed he had been an ordinary Canadian until his religious awakening. “I was one of you. I was a typical Canadian. I grew up on the hockey rink and spent my teenage years on stage playing guitar,” he said.“I had no criminal record. I was a bright student and maintained a strong GPA in university. So how could one of your people end up in my place? And why is it that your own people are the ones turning against you at home? The answer is that we have accepted the true call of the prophets and messengers of God.”He told Canadians to convert to Islam.A report recently released by the Canadian Ministry of Public Safety detailed the troubling phenomenon of Canadians traveling to the Middle East to join in jihad - and later return to potentially conduct attacks."As of early 2014, the Government was aware of more than 130 individuals with Canadian connections who were abroad and who were suspected of terrorism-related activities," noted the report.That threat was recently illustrated as two brothers from Calgary were identified as members of ISIS in Syria. The two are recent converts to Islam.
