The day after Hamas agreed to a ceasefire with Israel, the terrorist group's TV station aired this "Death to Israel!" music video on its station:"Destroy the throne of Zion, the house of absolute evil," the song goes. "Raise the banner of victory. Be like the fire of a volcano. Repeat in the name of your Jihad: Death to Israel! With blood and fire, resist until freedom. Defeat the soldiers of aggression the enemies of humanity."
The tune is illustrated with video of rockets being launched from Gaza, presumably, into Israel, the Zionist state, as well as other war scenes.It was first noticed and translated by the group Palestinian Media Watch, which says the video aired "Nov. 22, one day after Hamas and Israel brokered a ceasefire."

Israel successfully tests missile defense system

Associated Press – 19 hrs ago NOV 26,12

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel successfully tested its newest missile defense system Sunday, the military said, a step toward making the third leg of what Israel calls its "multilayer missile defense" operational.

The "David's Sling" system is designed to stop mid-range missiles. It successfully passed its test, shooting down its first missile in a drill Sunday in southern Israel, the military said.The system is designed to intercept projectiles with ranges of up to 300 kilometers (180 miles).Israel has also deployed Arrow systems for longer-range threats from Iran. The Iron Dome protects against short-range rockets fired by militants in the Gaza Strip and Hezbollah guerrillas in Lebanon. Iron Dome shot down hundreds of rockets from Gaza in this month's round of fighting.Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said the success of Iron Dome highlighted the "immense importance" of such systems."David's Sling," also known "Magic Wand," is developed by Israel's Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and U.S.-based Raytheon Co. and is primarily designed to counter the large arsenal of Hezbollah rockets in Lebanon.The military said the program, which is on schedule for deployment in 2014, would "provide an additional layer of defense against ballistic missiles."The next generation of the Arrow, now in the development stage, is set to be deployed in 2016. Called the Arrow 3, it is designed to strike its target outside the atmosphere, intercepting missiles closer to their launch sites. Together, the two Arrow systems would provide two chances to strike down incoming missiles.Israel also uses U.S.-made Patriot missile defense batteries against mid-range missiles, though these failed to hit any of the 39 Scud missiles fired at Israel from Iraq In the first Gulf War 20 years ago. Manufacturers say the Patriot system has been improved since then.

For Syria’s new opposition head, Zionism is ‘a cancerous movement’

Mouaz al-Khatib, widely seen as a moderate religious figure, also praised Saddam Hussein for ‘terrifying the Jews’

By Elhanan Miller November 26, 2012, 6:13 am 16-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

The new leader of Syria’s opposition coalition, presented by international media as a moderate Islamic cleric, has called Zionism a “cancerous movement” and praised Saddam Hussein for “terrifying the Jews.”

Mouaz al-Khatib made the “cancerous” reference in an essay published last year titled “The role of international politics in inciting sectarian strife,” in which enumerated the possibility of coexistence between Syria’s Sunni majority and the country’s religious minorities. In it, Khatib includes a chapter titled “Jews in the eyes of the Islamic civilization society.”

Muslim cleric Mouaz al-Khatib poses for a photo after after he was elected president of the newly formed Syrian National Coalition for Opposition and Revolutionary Forces, in Doha, Qatar (photo credit: AP/Osama Faisal)

“The Islamic civilization clearly draws a clear distinction between Zionism as a cancerous movement and the Jews as the followers of a religion greatly respected in Islam,” Khatib wrote, but then, contradicting that statement, acknowledged ”the historic enmity between Muslims and Jews since the early days of the call to Islam.”Khatib has been described by international media as a moderate religious figure, capable of counterbalancing the growing influence of Islamic extremists within the ranks of the Syrian opposition.

“My brothers, we lived all our lives, Sunnis, Shiites, Alawites and Druse as a one-hearted community, and with us lived our dear brothers who follow Jesus, peace be upon him,” he told a crowd of supporters in a Damascus suburb in April 2011, only one month into the uprising.But it would seem that Khatib holds a different opinion concerning the Jews.In an essay published in January 2007 in which he criticizes the regime of Saddam Hussein, Khatib nevertheless mentions a few of Hussein’s achievements, including “building a massive army; terrifying the Jews; and [creating] an excellent educational system.”A former Imam at the Ummayad mosque in Damascus, Khatib has repeatedly called for unity among Syria’s religious groups. Arrested four times since the outbreak of the revolution in March 2011, Khatib finally fled Syrian in the summer of 2011.AP contributed to this report.

GEOLOGICAL UPHEAVAL: Louisiana Sinkhole Grows to 8 Acres – 80,000 Gallons of Oil Removed From the Surface!

truther November 21, 2012 2

---

In the following excerpts from The Advocate, the Assumption Parish Situation Summary and the informal meeting of Bayou Corne Resident Meeting with Louisiana State Representatives; evidence has now surfaced that the Louisiana sinkhole has grown to over eight acres with “ridiculous” amounts of oil outside the hole.

Officials said that the gas freed by the cavern collapse now poses an uncertain risk to Bayou Corne residents who have been evacuated from their residences for more than three months. Meanwhile, officials have called for in-home air monitoring and specialized detectors and ventilation systems for slab-foundation homes. The evacuation order, affecting about 150 homes in the Grand Bayou and Bayou Corne communities, was issued within hours of the discovery of the sinkhole, though the presence of the gas now provides another reason to keep the order in place, parish officials have said The sinkhole, which now has an 8-acre surface area, is located in swamps between the communities south of La. 70 on property leased by Texas Brine from Occidental Chemical Corp. Boudreaux provided estimates showing the three vent wells had released 558,000 cubic feet of gas through Friday morning. An investigatory well that the Office of Conservation ordered Texas Brine to drill months ago to peer inside its failed cavern has burned another 598,000 cubic feet of gas through early Friday. Combined with the three vent wells, the four wells have removed nearly 1.2 million cubic feet of gas, the figures show. – The Advocate.

As of the 13th of November, the mandatory evacuation is still in effect… Texas Brine has removed 123 roll off boxes hydrocarbon contaminated debris and approximately 1900 Barrels of hydrocarbons from the surface of the sinkhole… USGS estimates the sources of seismic activity to be between 200 and 600 meters deep… In response to Texas Brine’s assertion that region seismic activity caused their cavern to be compromised, USGS stated (on 25 Sept. 2012) that it is their belief that the seismicity is a consequence of the collapse of the cavern, and not the cause of the collapse of the cavern and the formation of the sinkhole… – Assumption Parish Situation Summary [PDF].
In the following video of the informal meeting of Bayou Corne Resident Meeting with Louisiana State Representatives, the following extract can be heard at 35 minutes into the broadcast:

Resident: I done a flyover and I took some video there. That hole is — the oil outside of the boom of that thing is ridiculous. Why isn’t the EPA involved in that?
Rep. Karen St. Germaine: They are.
Resident: … That swamp water is contaminated behind those peoples’ houses. No doubt in my mind the swamp is contaminated.

Pope tells new cardinals not to be lured by power

Associated Press – Sun, Nov 25, 2012

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Benedict XVI has told his six new cardinals to resist the allure of power and instead be like Jesus and focus their work on spreading the Christian faith.Benedict celebrated a Mass on Sunday in St. Peter's Basilica with the cardinals he formally elevated a day earlier. The six hail from Colombia, India, Lebanon, Nigeria, the Philippines and the U.S. — a broad geographic mix that helps even out the Europe-heavy College of Cardinals who will elect 85-year-old Benedict's successor.In his homily, Benedict told his new collaborators that Jesus had no political ambitions. He said: "To be like Jesus, then, means not letting ourselves be allured by the worldly logic of power, but bringing into the world the light of truth and God's love."

Euro-ministers and IMF in third attempt to agree on Greece

Today @ 09:28 NOV 26,12 By Valentina Pop

BERLIN - Eurozone finance ministers and International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde are having a third attempt on Monday (26 November) to agree on how to keep Greece afloat and unblock its long-awaited bailout tranche.At the core of the debate is how to decrease Greece's debt from 190 percent of GDP to 120 percent over the next eight to ten years and how to bridge a multi-billion-euro funding gap that has emerged due to worsening recession and political delays.The IMF insists eurozone governments should accept losses on their Greek loans - so-called Official Sector Involvement (OSI). Germany and a few other countries have argued against saying that as long as the current bailout programme is ongoing, it would be against national and EU law to give loans and at the same time accept losses.But since the programme ends in 2014, there would be no legal impediment for OSI the following year. According to the German newspaperWelt am Sonntag, ministers discussed this option last week during a secret meeting in Paris one day ahead of a second Eurogroup which ended in disagreement.Der Spiegel on Monday also reported that both the IMF and the European Central Bank - Greece's other creditor - are still insisting governments give up half of their Greek claims.Germany continues to oppose this option. Instead it wants to shift the attention to the "immediate" funding needs - the disbursement of the tranche and filling the funding gap through a bond buying scheme possibly funded by the eurozone bailout fund to the tune of €10 billion.Lowering the interest rates on the Greek loans is also on the table, but that would raise the question of why other bailed-out countries - Ireland and Portugal and Spain for its banking sector - have to pay more."I'm against this write-off and I want to find another solution," German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Friday after an EU summit dedicated to EU budget talks.Ministers and the IMF are under high pressure to agree, as the Greek government is losing credibility after forcing through highly unpopular spending cuts only to see its bailout tranche further delayed by quarrels among creditors.Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras on Friday said his EU peers during the summit had recognised it is no longer "Greece's fault."“We now have some strong supporters. The talks will go on right up to the last minute (on Monday)," he said.A total of €44.5 billion are to be disbursed by the end of the year, if the Eurogroup agrees on Monday. Preparatory talks took place on Saturday, with ministers sounding cautiously optimistic afterwards."I think that in effect we are very close to a solution," French finance minister Pierre Moscovici told BFM television on Sunday. "I don't know if there will be an agreement tomorrow, I know it is possible and I want on," he said.A third failure to agree would be "irresponsible, given the efforts everyone has made," he added.One EU source told this website that there will most likely be a deal for the disbursement of the tranche, but the language would be "incomprehensible" and any debt restructuring deal would not be publicly announced.

NOW THE EU WANTS TO SANCTION ISRAELI SETTLERS.WHAT IN THE WORLD IS ALL ABOUT THIS ISRAEL HATE.........REDICULAS.

EU countries consider sanctions on Israeli settlers

Today @ 10:05 NOV 26,12 By Andrew Rettman

BRUSSELS - EU diplomats have given the green light for member states to impose visa bans on violent Israeli settlers.The Political and Security Committe (PSC) - a group of EU ambassadors dealing with conflict zones - approved the step at its meeting in Brussels on 16 November.The PSC memo - seen by EUobserver and copied below - says: "Individual EU member states could explore possibilities of denying access of known violent settlers to the EU."It also says EU diplomats in Jerusalem, Ramallah and Tel Aviv should "step up monitoring" of the problem, including to "attend trials in the most serious cases" - an activity normally reserved for countries with egregious human rights problems, such as Belarus.It notes that settler violence "mainly targets Palestinian civilians, including children, and their property and includes vandalizing religious sites such as mosques and Christian institutions."It adds that "the attacks appear ... to be becoming more severe and, in some areas, more co-ordinated" in what amounts to "coercion aimed at forcing Palestinian communities in area C [a vast swathe of the Israeli-occupied West Bank] to leave with a view to expanding settlements or outposts."The memo recognizes that Israel has stepped up action against settler radicals.
But it says they still operate in a "culture of impunity ... There are worrying reports of incidents in which the Israeli military, despite being present, have failed to intervene to protect Palestinians."The settler sanctions idea has been bandied around by EU heads of mission in Ramallah for over a year.But it never became public EU policy because Israeli-friendly member states routinely blocked it.Meanwhile, EU ministers did not discuss the PSC memo at their meeting in Brussels last week because the Middle East agenda was hijacked by the eruption of fighting in Gaza.An EU diplomat told this website that PSC-level approval falls short of making sanctions into official EU policy.But it raises - for the first time - the prospect of concrete action: under the EU's so-called Schengen passport-free travel zone, if one Schegnen member red-flags a name in the border-control system, all the other Schengen members are legally obliged to keep that person out.
It also highlights EU frustration with Israeli settlement expansion ahead of a UN vote on 29 November on upgrading Palestine's status.For its part, Israel reacted angrily to the development."As for the inflammatory proposal to refuse to admit what they call 'known violent settlers' because Israel hasn't put them on trial, there's an internal contradiction there. How will a person be defined as a 'violent settler' if he hasn't been convicted?" its foreign ministry spokesman, Yigal Palmor, told the Haaretz newspaper on Monday.
Israel's line is that settlers are a side issue in the conflict, which can only be solved if Palestinians agree to recognise Israel in bilateral peace talks.

Ful text of PSC memo

MASHREK/M.GHREB [MaMa]
DATE : 17/10/2012
Follow-up to 14 May FAC conclusions on MEPP: Settler violence
Note from MaMa to PSC
1. Following the l2 June 2012 tasking of the PSC MaMa discussed the issue of settler violence in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt) and possible ways for the EU to help counter it. The discussions were, in particular, based on the EU head of mission report on settler violence from April 2011 and on the update to it from February 2012: "EU note on settler violence."
2. MaMa recalled that the EU Foreign Ministers had expressed deep concern regarding settler extremism and incitement by settlers in the West Bank, condemned continuous settler violence and deliberate provocations against Palestinian civilians and called on the government of Israel to bring the perpetrators to justice and to comply with its obligations under international law (14 May 2012 FAC conclusions on MEPP). In this context MaMa recalled that ending incitement is an obligation of both parties of the conflict under the Roadmap.
3. Violence by extremist Israeli settlers in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, mainly targets Palestinian civilians, including children, and their property and includes vandalizing religious sites such as mosques and Christian institutions. Israeli security personnel and other settlers have also been attacked. A particularly worrying aspect of the violence are so called "price tag" attacks aiming also at intimidating the Israeli authorities and public in an attempt to prevent action against settlements and outposts. Many of the cases of violence and intimidation also appear to be part of a pattern of coercion aimed at forcing Palestinian communities in area C to leave with a view to expanding settlements or outposts.
4. Settler violence has developed in a political context where the number of settlers has continued to expand, where the political strength of the settlement movement has grown and where the Israeli authorities have generally not taken firm action against outposts illegal also under Israeli law, contributing to a culture of impunity in which the violence continues.
5. In addition to the documented increase in the numbers of settler attacks in recent years, MaMa assessed that the attacks appear also to be becoming more severe and, in some areas, more co-ordinated. The UN considers settler violence as the biggest security threat to its personnel in the West Bank. According to UNOCHA, the number of settler attacks resulting in Palestinian casualties and property damage had increased by 32% in 2011 compared to 2010, and by 44% compared to 2009. The majority of these attacks take place in area C of the West Bank, and in recent years many attacks have been carried out by extremist settlers living in settlement outposts.
6. MaMa welcomed the recent strong condemnations by the lsraeli Government of violent acts by extremist settlers and the creation of a special police unit to investigate "price tag" attacks. It took note that certain Israeli authorities have defined some acts by violent settlers as "terrorism acts" and have pledged compensation for the victims. The Israeli military issued, in January 2012, restraining orders to a dozen extremist settlers suspected of targeting Palestinians and Israeli security forces and a number have been arrested in connection with recent attacks. However, more should be done in practice to counter the culture of impunity surrounding settler violence. Perpetrators have rarely faced punishment for crimes against Palestinians. Over 90% of monitored complaints regarding settler violence filed by Palestinians with the Israeli police in recent years have been closed without indictment according to UNOCHA. Many victims are reluctant or unable to file complaints with the police as police stations are often located in settlements where access is restricted for Palestinians. There are also worrying reports of incidents in which the Israeli military, despite being present, have failed to intervene to protect Palestinians or their property from violence by extremist settlers.
7. Settler violence is a joint preoccupation of the international community, including the EU, the PA and Israel. MaMa agreed that combating it is essential for creating an environment conducive to the two-state solution. If current trends continue, any dismantling of settlements, which in numerous instances is already a Road map obligation, would risk entailing an even greater increrse in settler violence. If settler violence is not dealt with preventively, it will increasingly obstruct efforts by both parties for solving the conflict.
8. In line with the May 2012 FAC conclusions on MEPP and taking into account the recommendations of EU HoM's in Jerusalem and Ramallah in countering settler violence and ensuring accountability, MaMa recommends the following line of action:
The EU missions in Jerusalem and Ramallah will increase monitoring and regular reporting on settler violence in the oPt. The EU missions in Tel-Aviv will monitor and report on settler violence that occur in Israel. The EU will do this with the assistance local and international organizations and provide support to NGOS undertaking such monitoring.
The EU missions in Tel Aviv as well as in Jerusalem and Ramallah will step up monitoring on the Israeli authorities action against violence by extremist settlers with a view to having systematic and trustworthy information. In so far as possible, the EU missions could attend trials in the most serious cases.
The EU will continue to urge Israeli authorities to respect their obligations under international humanitarian law, in the oPt, including the applicability of the fourth Geneva Convention relative to the protection of civilians. In line with its 2009 Guidelines on human Rights and International humanitarian Law, the EU will engage with Israeli authorities, including within the framework of the EU-Israel Association Agreement.
The EU will try to reinforce the dynamic of the Israeli Government's stronger stance against settler violence and more actively engage in dialogue with the Israeli authorities at different levels, including within the framework of the EU-Israel Association Agreement (e.g. sub-committee on political dialogue and co-operation) to curb all forms of settler violence and increase law enforcement in areas prone to settler violence. In this regard the EU messages should focus on the following: step up protection of Palestinians by Israeli security forces; actively prevent the recurrence of acts of violence; take more decisive action against known extremist settlers; strengthen investigation capacities (e.g. collection of evidence, testimonies on cases); provide appropriate access to law enforcement for Palestinians and take measures to ensure that cases of settler violence are followed up with appropriate legal proceedings. Prevention implies also a stronger attitude against any form of incitement emanating from both political as well as religious circles.
On the basis of 14 May Council conclusions, the EU and Member States will engage in a consistent manner on all relevant occasions at the appropriate political level with the Israeli counterparts conveying the key messages outlined above.
The EU will systematically condemn publicly serious attacks by extremist settlers and reinforce language used in such statements. Member States willing to issue individual statements should ensure consistency in the messaging.
The EU will encourage the government of Israel and the PA to provide appropriate support for Palestinians subject to settler violence. This includes informing individuals and communities about ways of filing complaints to Israeli police and liaising with the Israeli Civil administration. The EU will also continue to provide support to different NGOs which can also undertake such action and will explore greater coordination of such financial support.
The EU will continue to raise the issue with key international partners individually and in forums such as the Quartet and relevant UN bodies.
Individual EU Member States could explore possibilities of denying access of known violent settlers to the EU.

Egypt's Mursi to meet judges over power grab

By Yasmine Saleh and Edmund Blair | Reuters – 45 mins ago NOV 26,12

CAIRO (Reuters) - Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi meets senior judges on Monday to try to defuse a crisis over his seizure of new powers which has set off violent protests reminiscent of the revolution last year that led to the rise of his Islamist movement.The justice minister said he believed Mursi would agree with the country's highest judicial authority on its proposal to limit the scope of the new powers.But the protesters, some camped in Cairo's Tahrir Square, have said only retracting the decree will satisfy them, a sign of the deep rift between Islamists and their opponents that is destabilizing Egypt two years after Hosni Mubarak was ousted."There is no use amending the decree," said Tarek Ahmed, 26, a protester who stayed the night in Tahrir, where tents covered the central traffic circle. "It must be scrapped."One person has been killed and about 370 injured in clashes between police and protesters since Mursi issued the decree on Thursday shielding his decisions from judicial review, emboldened by international plaudits for brokering an end to eight days of violence between Israel and Hamas.The stock market is down more than 7 percent.Mursi's political opponents have accused him of behaving like a dictator and the West has voiced its concern, worried by more turbulence in a country that has a peace treaty with Israel and lies at the heart of the Arab Spring.
Mursi's administration has defended his decree as an effort to speed up reforms and complete a democratic transformation. Leftists, liberals, socialists and others say it has exposed the autocratic impulses of a man once jailed by Mubarak.Mursi's office said he would meet Egypt's highest judicial authority, the Supreme Judicial Council, on Monday, and the council hinted at compromise.Mursi's decree should apply only to "sovereign matters", it said, suggesting it did not reject the declaration outright, and called on judges and prosecutors, some of whom began a strike on Sunday, to return to work.Justice Minister Ahmed Mekky, speaking about the council statement, said: "I believe President Mohamed Mursi wants that."
LIBERALS ANGRY
The protesters are worried that Mursi's Muslim Brotherhood aims to dominate the post-Mubarak era after winning the first democratic parliamentary and presidential elections this year.A deal with a judiciary dominated by Mubarak-era judges, which Mursi has pledged to reform, may not placate them.A group of lawyers and activists have also challenged Mursi's decree in an administrative court, which said it would hold its first hearing on December 4. Other decisions by Mursi have faced similar legal challenges brought to court by opponents.Banners in Tahrir called for dissolving the assembly drawing up a constitution, an Islamist-dominated body Mursi made immune from legal challenge. Many liberals and others have walked out of the assembly saying their voices were not being heard.Only once a constitution is written can a new parliamentary election be held. Until then, legislative and executive power remains in Mursi's hands, and Thursday's decree puts his decisions above judicial oversight.One Muslim Brotherhood member was killed and 60 people were hurt on Sunday in an attack on the main office of the Brotherhood in the Egyptian Nile Delta town of Damanhour, the website of the Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party said.The party's offices have also been attacked in other cities.One politician said the scale of the crisis could push opponents towards a deal to avoid a further escalation. Mursi's opponents have called for a big demonstration on Tuesday."I am very cautiously optimistic because the consequences are quite, quite serious, the most serious they have been since the revolution," said Mona Makram Ebeid, former member of parliament and prominent figure in Egyptian politics.Mursi's office repeated assurances that the steps would be temporary, and said he wanted dialogue with political groups to find "common ground" over what should go into the constitution.Talks with Mursi have been rejected by members of a National Salvation Front, a new opposition coalition that brings together liberal, leftist and other politicians and parties, who until Mursi's decree had been a fractious bunch struggling to unite.
MILITARY STAYING OUT
"There is no room for dialogue when a dictator imposes the most oppressive, abhorrent measures and then says 'let us split the difference'," prominent opposition leader and Mohamed ElBaradei said on Saturday. He has said he expected to act as the Front's coordinator.The military has stayed out of the crisis after leading Egypt through a messy 16-month transition to a presidential election in June. Analysts say Mursi neutralized the army when he sacked top generals in August, appointing a new generation who now owe their advancement to the Islamist president.Though the military still wields influence through business interests and a security role, it is out of frontline politics.Egypt had hoped to stop the economic rot by signing an initial deal last week for a $4.8 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund. As well as tumbling share prices, yields at a Sunday treasury bill auction rose, putting even more pressure on the government that faces a crushing budget deficit."We are back to square one, politically, socially," said Mohamed Radwan of Pharos Securities, an Egyptian brokerage firm.(Additional reporting by Tom Perry, Patrick Werr and Marwa Awad in Cairo; Editing by Philippa Fletcher and Giles Elgood)

Syrian rebels take airbase in slow progress toward Damascus

By Khaled Yacoub Oweis | Reuters – 3 hrs ago NOV 26,12

AMMAN (Reuters) - Syrian rebels said on Sunday they had captured a helicopter base east of Damascus after an overnight assault, their latest gain in a costly battle to unseat President Bashar al-Assad that is drawing nearer to his seat of power.The Marj al-Sultan base, 15 km (10 miles) from the capital, is the second military facility on the outskirts of the city reported to have fallen to Assad's opponents this month.

Activists said rebels had destroyed two helicopters and taken 15 prisoners."We are coming for you Bashar," a rebel shouted in an internet video of what activists said was Marj al-Sultan. Restrictions on non-state media meant it could not be verified.The rebels have been tightening their hold on farmland and urban centers to the east and northeast of Damascus while a major battle has been underway for a week in the suburb of Daraya near the main highway south."We are seeing the starting signs of a rebel siege of Damascus," veteran opposition campaigner Fawaz Tello said from Berlin. "Marj al-Sultan is very near to the Damascus Airport road and to the airport itself. The rebels appear to be heading toward cutting this as well as the main northern artery to Aleppo."Assad's core forces, drawn mainly from his minority Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shi'ite Islam that has dominated power in Syria for nearly five decades, are entrenched in the capital.They also have devastating air superiority although they have failed to prevent rebels increasing their presence on the edge of the capital and in neighborhoods on the periphery.A Syrian government air strike on the rebel-held village of Deir al-Asafir, 12 km (8 miles) east of Damascus, killed 10 children on Sunday, opposition activists said.

Internet video footage also showed residents collecting young bodies hit by shrapnel. A sobbing woman picked up the lifeless body of a girl, while the bodies of two boys were shown in the back seat of a car.
"None of those killed were older than 15 years old. There are two women among 15 people wounded," said Abu Kassem, an activist in the village told Reuters.A Western diplomat following the fighting said Assad still had the upper hand. "The army will allow positions to fall here and there, but it can still easily muster the strength to drive back the rebels where it sees a danger," the diplomat said."The rebels are very short of international support and they do not have the supplies to keep up a sustained fight, especially in Damascus."
IRAN CONDEMNS PATRIOT PLAN

Iran said Turkey's request to NATO to deploy Patriot defensive missiles near its border with Syria would add to problems in the region, where Iran is pitted against mostly Sunni Turkey and Gulf Sunni powers.

Iran's Shi'ite rulers have stepped up support for Assad while Sunni Arab powers helped forge a new opposition coalition this month recognised by France and Britain as the sole representative of the Syrians.
Syria has called the missile request "provocative", seeing it as a first step toward a no-fly zone over Syrian airspace which the opposition is seeking to help them hold territory against an enemy with overwhelming firepower from the air.Most foreign powers are reluctant to go that far.NATO has said the possible deployment of the missiles was purely defensive. The U.S.-led Western alliance has had some talks on the request but has yet to take a decision.Turkey fears security on its border may crumble as the Syrian army fights harder against the rebels, some of whom have enjoyed sanctuary in Turkey in their 20-month-old revolt against Assad's rule.Ankara has scrambled fighter jets and returned fire after stray Syrian shells and mortar bombs from heavy fighting along the border landed in its territory.More than 120,000 Syrian refugees are sheltering in camps in southern Turkey and more are expected with winter setting in and millions of people estimated to be short of food inside Syria.Abu Mussab, a rebel operative in the area of Hajar al-Aswad in south Damascus, said the opposition fighters had given up expecting a no-fly zone. "The bet is now on better organization and tactics," he said.The video said by activists to have been filmed at the Marj al-Sultan base showed rebel fighters carrying AK-47 rifles.An anti-aircraft gun was positioned on top of an empty bunker and a rebel commander from the Ansar al-Islam, a major Muslim rebel unit, was shown next to a helicopter.
"With God's help, the Marj al-Sultan airbase in eastern Ghouta has been liberated," the commander said in the video. Eastern Ghouta, a mix of agricultural land and built-up urban areas, has been a rebel stronghold for months.Damaged mobile radar stations could be seen on hilltops, with rebels waiving as they walked around the compound.Footage from Saturday evening showed rebels firing rocket-propelled grenades at the base, and what appeared to be a helicopter engulfed in flames.Last week rebels briefly captured an air defence base near the southern Damascus district of Hajar al-Aswad, seizing weapons and equipment before pulling out to avoid retaliation from Assad's air force.(Additional reporting by Dominic Evans in Beirut Yeganeh Torbati in Dubai and Ece Toksabay in Istanbul; Editing by Philippa Fletcher)

Israel, Hamas teams in Cairo for more truce talks

Reuters – 48 mins ago NOV 26,12

CAIRO (Reuters) - Egyptian mediators began separate talks on Monday with Hamas and with Israel to flesh out details of a ceasefire agreed last week that ended eight days of fighting in the Gaza Strip.An Egyptian official told Reuters the talks would discuss Palestinian demands for the opening of more Israeli crossings into Gaza - a move that would help end six years of blockade of the coastal enclave ruled by the Islamist Hamas.

The Egyptian-brokered ceasefire came into force last Wednesday, ending hostilities between the two sides that cost the lives of 167 Palestinians and six Israelis.However, the text of the truce stipulated that issues such as access to the borders, free movement for Gazans and the transfer of goods would be dealt with "after 24 hours".Israel imposed restrictions on Gaza in 2006, following an election victory by Hamas, which refuses to recognize Israel's right to exist. The curbs were tightened, and backed by Egypt, after Hamas seized control of the enclave in a civil war.Some of the import and export limits have since been eased, but Israel still prevents a long list of goods into the territory - including many items needed for construction - arguing they could be used for the manufacture of weapons.Senior Hamas leader Mahmoud Al-Zahar told reporters on Saturday that the group wanted to see the opening of all four goods crossings with Israel that used to operate before 2006.Only one operates at present, with a second passenger terminal reserved for the handful of Palestinians and foreigners who are allowed in and out of the territory.The Egyptian official said Cairo would also urge both sides to cement their commitments to the ceasefire agreement.Israeli soldiers shot dead a Palestinian man on Friday after he approached the Gazan "no-go" border area, apparently in the belief that under the terms of the ceasefire deal he was able to go up to the heavily patrolled fence.Alarmed by the prospect of the truce failing, Egypt encouraged Hamas police to be deployed along the border line to keep Gazans away and prevent further violence.Israel launched its air offensive against the Gaza Strip on November 14 with the declared aim of deterring Islamist militants from firing rockets into its territory.

The Israeli military also says its soldiers have come under increasing attack from the border area this year, including earlier this month when a jeep was hit by an anti-tank missile.(Reporting by Nidal Almughrabi; Editing by Mark Heinrich)

Iran criticizes U.S. over delayed Middle East atomic talks

By Fredrik Dahl | Reuters – 1 hr 6 mins ago NOV 26,12

VIENNA (Reuters) - Iran criticized the United States on Monday for announcing that talks on banning atomic arms in the Middle East would not take place as planned this year, accusing it of causing a "serious setback" to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).The U.S. State Department said on Friday that the mid-December conference on creating a zone free of weapons of mass destruction would not occur and did not make clear when, or whether, it would take place.Iran, which is accused by the West of developing a nuclear weapons capability, said this month it would participate in the meeting that had been due to take place in Helsinki, Finland.Asked about the U.S. announcement, Iranian nuclear envoy Ali Asghar Soltanieh told state broadcaster Press TV from Vienna:"It is a serious setback to the NPT and this is a clear sign that the U.S. is not committed to the obligation of a world free of nuclear weapons."Even if the talks eventually occur, Western diplomats and experts expect little progress any time soon due to the deep-rooted animosities in the region, notably the Arab-Israeli conflict and Israeli concerns about Iran's nuclear program.
Washington feared the conference could be used as a forum to criticize its ally Israel - widely believed to be the volatile region's only nuclear-armed state - a concern only likely to have increased after eight days of fierce Israeli-Palestinian fighting that ended with a ceasefire last week.Israel, which says say Tehran is the Middle East's main proliferation threat, had not said whether it would attend.Iran and Arab states often say Israel's presumed nuclear arsenal poses a threat to Middle East peace and security.
SECURITY
The plan for a meeting to lay the groundwork for the possible creation of a Middle East free of weapons of mass destruction was agreed at a 2010 conference of 189 parties to the 1970 NPT, a treaty designed to prevent the spread of nuclear arms in the world.Israel, which neither confirms nor denies having nuclear arms, is not a signatory.U.S. and Israeli officials have said a nuclear arms-free zone in the Middle East could not be a reality until there was broad Arab-Israeli peace and Iran curbed its nuclear program, which Tehran says is for peaceful energy and research purposes.Soltanieh, Iran's ambassador to the U.N. nuclear agency, said: "The U.S. has taken hostage this Helsinki conference for the sake of Israel ... they want to support the Israelis' nuclear weapon capability."Some Western diplomats said they suspected that Tehran only agreed to attend the Helsinki talks once it had become clear they were likely to be postponed anyway.The two other co-sponsors of the meeting together with the United States - Russia and Britain - signaled in separate statements at the weekend their hope for a delay to be as short as possible and that the talks could be held next year instead.The U.S. State Department said it would keep working to try to bring about a meeting, adding such a gathering must take into account the security of all the states in the region and operate on the basis of consensus.(Additional reporting by Steve Gutterman in Moscow; Editing by Alison Williams)

Beijing's S. China Sea rivals protest passport map

By ANNIE HUANG | Associated Press – Fri, Nov 23, 2012

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — China has enraged several neighbors with a few dashes on a map, printed in its newly revised passports that show it staking its claim on the entire South China Sea and even Taiwan.

Inside the passports, an outline of China printed in the upper left corner includes Taiwan and the sea, hemmed in by the dashes. The change highlights China's longstanding claim on the South China Sea in its entirety, though parts of the waters also are claimed by the Philippines, Vietnam, Taiwan, Brunei and Malaysia.China's official maps have long included Taiwan and the South China Sea as Chinese territory, but the act of including them in its passports could be seen as a provocation since it would require other nations to tacitly endorse those claims by affixing their official seals to the documents.Ruling party and opposition lawmakers alike condemned the map in Taiwan, a self-governed island that split from China after a civil war in 1949. They said it could harm the warming ties the historic rivals have enjoyed since Ma Ying-jeou became president 4 1/2 years ago."This is total ignorance of reality and only provokes disputes," said Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council, the Cabinet-level body responsible for ties with Beijing. The council said the government cannot accept the map.Philippine Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario told reporters in Manila that he sent a note to the Chinese Embassy that his country "strongly protests" the image. He said China's claims include an area that is "clearly part of the Philippines' territory and maritime domain."
The Vietnamese government said it had also sent a diplomatic note to the Chinese Embassy in Hanoi, demanding that Beijing remove the "erroneous content" printed in the passport.In Beijing, the Foreign Ministry said the new passport was issued based on international standards. China began issuing new versions of its passports to include electronic chips on May 15, though criticism cropped up only this week.
"The design of this type of passports is not directed against any particular country," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said at a daily media briefing Friday. "We hope the relevant countries can calmly treat it with rationality and restraint so that the normal visits by the Chinese and foreigners will not be unnecessarily interfered with."It's unclear whether China's South China Sea neighbors will respond in any way beyond protesting to Beijing. China, in a territorial dispute with India, once stapled visas into passports to avoid stamping them."Vietnam reserves the right to carry out necessary measures suitable to Vietnamese law, international law and practices toward such passports," Vietnamese foreign ministry spokesman Luong Thanh Nghi said.Taiwan does not recognize China's passports in any case; Chinese visitors to the island have special travel documents.China maintains it has ancient claims to all of the South China Sea, despite much of it being within the exclusive economic zones of Southeast Asian neighbors. The islands and waters are potentially rich in oil and gas.There are concerns that the disputes could escalate into violence. China and the Philippines had a tense maritime standoff at a shoal west of the main Philippine island of Luzon early this year.

The United States, which has said it takes no sides in the territorial spats but that it considers ensuring safe maritime traffic in the waters to be in its national interest, has backed a call for a "code of conduct" to prevent clashes in the disputed territories. But it remains unclear if and when China will sit down with rival claimants to draft such a legally binding nonaggression pact.The Philippines, Brunei, Malaysia and Vietnam are scheduled to meet Dec. 12 to discuss claims in the South China Sea and the role of China.___Associated Press writers Oliver Teves in Manila, Philippines, Chris Brummitt in Hanoi, Vietnam, and researcher Zhao Liang in Beijing contributed to this report.

With surprise resignation, Barak may have rocked political arena for last time

Defense minister drops political bombshell days after he oversaw assault on Hamas, and after four years partnering Netanyahu in strategies aimed to thwart Iran’s nuclear drive

By Joshua Davidovich and Stuart Winer November 26, 2012, 10:22 am Updated: November 26, 2012, 2:55 pm 12-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

Defense Minister Ehud Barak announced on Monday that he would leave political life after the next elections, dropping a bombshell after a career that saw him rise from one of the country’s most highly decorated soldiers to prime minister before falling out of favor and then making an improbable comeback.

His surprise announcement came less than a week after he oversaw Israel’s Operation Pillar of Defense assault on Hamas and other rocket-firing terror groups in Gaza, and after almost four years in which he had been Benjamin Netanyahu’s close security partner, working with the prime minister to formulate strategies aimed at thwarting Iran’s drive to a nuclear weapons capability.Barak, 70 and a nearly constant fixture at the top levels of the country’s political leadership for the last two decades, said he would leave his post as defense minister when a new government is formed, likely in February.He said he had deliberated for several weeks on the decision and he was proud of his career, which included a stint as prime minister, but it was time to move on.“I feel there is room now for other people to take up positions in Israel,” he said. “There are many ways to contribute, but the state is not just politics.”Barak smiled throughout the press conference he called to make the announcement, and said he now wants to spend more time with his family. He noted that the surge in violence in the south and the start of Operation Pillar of Defense delayed his final decision until Monday morning.“I am comfortable with my decision,” he said. He noted that Netanyahu was aware of his decision, and said his much-reported episodes of friction with the prime minister had not influenced his course of action.Netanyahu said he “respects” Barak’s decision to retire from political life. Netanyahu thanked Barak for “the cooperation in the government, and greatly esteems his contributions over many years to the security of the state,” according to a statement published by his office.Barak told the press he would be open to staying on as defense minister in the next government if appointed and said he would always be available to advise future governments on matters of defense and national security.While non-elected officials can fill nearly all ministerial posts in a “professional” capacity, it is unlikely Netanyahu, who is expected to handily win the next election, will keep Barak on, given likely pressure from the right flank for a more hard-line head of the Defense Ministry.However, Barak proved a popular defense minister, even if his political fortunes have waned with time. His Independence party, which he formed in a surprise 2010 move in the wake of an internal rift with Labor, was expected to gain three seats at most in upcoming elections, with some polls showing it unable to even cross the threshold to enter the Knesset.Barak said he supported the remaining members of the party in their campaigns for the coming elections but would not be drawn into predictions or evaluations about those still left in the race. He also remained tight-lipped when asked about the negotiations he has held with other parties and political personalities with whom he has been linked.Rumors had surfaced that he was in talks with former Kadima head Tzipi Livni to form a new party.

Other reports over the past several months had Barak joining the Likud party, which would have been a rightward turn for the once-dovish minister, but Likud party members reportedly opposed the deal that would allow him to join.Ynet had reported that Barak was asked by Netanyahu to resign his post if he planned on joining up with another party.Barak’s stepping down likely paves the way for former army chief Moshe Yaalon, currently strategic affairs minister for Likud, to become defense minister, as has long been rumored. Current opposition head Shaul Mofaz, a former defense minister, may also be gunning for the post.

At once hailed by the left and demonized by the right for being willing to compromise with the Palestinians, Barak proved a polarizing, albeit flexible, leader. His drift toward toward Netanyahu, who is seen as a security hawk, at the end of his career pushed him away from the Labor rank and file.Right-wing politicians reacted happily to the news of the planned resignation, while there was a more mixed response on the left.“Today is Likud’s Independence Day,” said Likud Minister Yuli Edelstein, adding that Barak will be remembered in Israel as the “most terrible” defense minister regarding Israeli settlement of the West Bank. “His conduct was one of continuous political and egotistical schemes, and all at the expense of the settlements.”Barak, considered a military expert with a flair for the unexpected, served as Israel Defense Forces chief of staff before entering politics in the 1990s.Born on a kibbutz in 1942, Barak was central to the early successes of the IDF’s most elite commando unit, Sayeret Matkal, and is the most decorated soldier in Israeli army history, having taken part in a number of daring raids that earned him a reputation as a defense stalwart.He entered politics with the left-wing Labor Party in the mid-1990s and succeeded Netanyahu as prime minister in 1999, serving concurrently as defense minister.As prime minister, presenting himself as a successor to the assassinated Labor prime minister Yitzhak Rabin, he sought to conclude a permanent peace accord with Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, initiating and participating in 2000′s abortive negotiations at Camp David hosted by US president Bill Clinton. Rebuffed by Arafat after offering an Israeli withdrawal from almost all of the West Bank, Barak later said he had “removed the mask” from Arafat, exposing the Palestinian leader as unwilling to agree to the compromises necessary for a viable two-state solution. Nonetheless, Barak remained committed to advancing talks with the Palestinians and was trounced in elections in 2001 by the hard-liner Ariel Sharon, forcing him out of politics.Following a failed bid for the leadership of Labor in 2005, he eventually won back the post of defense minister under Ehud Olmert in 2007 after rising from the ashes and winning the leadership of Labor for a second time.After Netanyahu was elected for a second term in 2009, Barak stayed on as defense minister, eventually spinning off his own Independence party once Labor began to drift away from the ruling right-wing coalition.He built a strong alliance with Netanyahu, even though they differed over the Palestinians, and even though Barak was wary of settlement expansion. They seemed to see eye-to-eye on the imperative for urgent action to thwart Iran’s nuclear drive, although recently they moved apart on the issue, with Barak indicating he believed there was still some more time to see whether sanctions would force the regime to abandon its program.As he did with Operation Cast Lead four years ago, Barak stewarded the recent Israeli Pillar of Defense assault on Hamas and other terror targets in Gaza following years of rocket fire, and in both cases sought to weaken Hamas’s terrorist and rocket-fire capacity, without ousting Hamas and retaking the Gaza Strip altogether.Raphael Ahren contributed to this report.

Forensic profiler: Obama confessing election fraud

Concludes 'in his secret fury he stole 2012 presidential' race

Published: 16 hours ago NOV 25,12

by Bob UnruhEmail | Archive

Bob Unruh joined WND in 2006 after nearly three decades with the Associated Press, as well as several Upper Midwest newspapers, where he covered everything from legislative battles and sports to tornadoes and homicidal survivalists. He is also a photographer whose scenic work has been used commercially.More

A forensic profiler whose previous cases have included the Natalie Holloway disappearance and the O.J. Simpson double murder says Barack Obama is confessing to stealing the 2012 president election.
“Obama appears to unconsciously confess on multiple occasions that in his secret fury he stole the 2012 presidential election – continuing his attacks on our nation,” Andrew G. Hodges, M.D., told WND in an assessment of Obama.

“But really that is no different whatsoever than in 2008 becoming an illegal president who violated the Constitution. This knowledge comes from one undeniable fact: we have discovered a new unconscious mind that continually quick-reads situations and communicates about it – as Obama reveals.”Hodges, who wrote “The Obama Confession: Secret Fear, Secret Fury,” previously deciphered the JonBenet Ramsey ransom note from the Boulder, Colo., murder case.He uses a unique psycholinguistic technique he calls “ThoughtPrint Decoding” to “read between the lines” of people’s statements – called “the cutting-edge of forensic science” by expert investigators. He’s not exactly new to the field, already having identified killers by studying ransom notes, emails, letters and police interviews to spot secret confessions. He decoded O.J.’s “suicide note” to confirm Simpson had committed a double murder. He deciphered the JonBenet ransom note from Boulder, Colo., to identify the child’s killer. He decrypted letters from BTK to predict that he was about to kill again – the only profiler to do so. He studied statements by Joran van der Sloot and Deepak Kalpoe to tie them to the slaying of Holloway. He showed how Casey Anthony secretly confessed to killing her daughter in 200 letters written to a jail mate. He even decoded Bill Clinton’s Lewinsky comments.
See all the details in Hodges’ book “The Obama Confession.” In a new analysis for WND, Hodges explains that Obama not only confesses, but he suggests a solution for Americans.“Obama’s deeper moral compass continues to provide guidance to America on how to combat his assaults. In his U.N. speech he repeatedly referred to courageous protesters. ‘They should give us hope… remind us that so long as we work for it justice will be done; that history is on our side; and that a rising tide of liberty will never be reversed.’ Repeatedly, he tells us ‘protest,’ ‘march for justice’ and we can become a rising tide. Citizens still have the power,” Hodges said.That there are questions about the 2012 election has been reported numerous times by WND.In Hodges’ assessment: “Following Obama’s presidential reelection impressive findings have emerged pointing to a fraudulent election. A brief summary reveals precincts in Ohio and Pennsylvania reported greater than 100 percent of registered voters turned out to vote. In 100 precincts in Ohio Obama got 99 percent of the votes. Pennsylvania illegally removed GOP poll inspectors from voting locations. Computer irregularities in Pennsylvania (and elsewhere) reverted to a default Obama vote no matter who the voter selected.”He continued, “Florida prevented absentee ballots from being observed by neutral observers. Military ballots were systematically denied active-duty servicemen and women around the world.”
So he said all he had to do was sit back and wait for the confession.“One thing is for certain – if Obama stole this election he would confess unconsciously. We now review that possibility from his own mind, listening for his all-seeing unconscious super intelligence to once more tell us how he truly sees himself deep down. As I described in my book, ‘The Obama Confession: Secret Fear, Secret Fury,’ Obama has repeatedly confessed to his misdeeds of his illegal presidency and sweeping attack on America for four years.”He explains his observations:“On election night after initial voting reports declared him the winner, Obama once more unconsciously pointed to a confession. Before his anxious and relieved supporters, Obama spoke of his pride in his daughters but commented, ‘But I will say this for now, one dog’s probably enough’ – on the surface referring back to promising his daughters a puppy after his 2008 victory,” Hodges said.“But stay with his spontaneous right-brain image. Understand he could have chosen any matter on which to comment and any description but his brilliant unconscious mind which always speaks in a symbolic right-brain language – and carefully chooses its images – selected ‘one dog is enough.’“Read his confession that America has just elected a dog of a president – and once was enough,” Hodges said.“He suggests that he’s dogging it as president, faking it as an illegal president in a second way now with a stolen election. That he’s a real ‘dog’ for such deception. The image of a dog further suggests: a pet favored by the media and blind supporters who would not dare to explore his illegality by birth or unfair election; that he will dog or haunt America for another four years because a dog also bites especially a wounded one. (And Obama is deeply wounded beyond belief.) Once again Obama unconsciously points to his deceptive anger and indeed he has bitten/assaulted America in multiple ways, both covert and overt, and plans on more of the same.”
It was interesting, Hodges noted, that Time magazine also then referred to the “dog” image, using it extensively to declare, “It was a fitting end to a one-dog’s-enough sort of campaign.”“The magazine writer suggests that he had picked up deep down on Obama’s unconscious confession,” Hodges said.Further, during a Nov. 9 press conference, “Obama snapped at two senators who had criticized U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice for her erroneous declarations regarding the Benghazi attack. He challenged the senators to ‘come after me,’ not Rice,” Hodges said.“This matches his hidden instructions in the U.N. speech that American citizens be prepared to protest unfair elections. In both his 2008 Fathers’ Day speech as a candidate and in his inaugural address he unconsciously instructed citizens to confront him as an illegal foreign-born candidate/ president,” Hodges said.“Obama’s ideas continually reflect a preoccupation with unconscious guilt and a need to be caught and stopped. His behavior and decision-making around the Benghazi tragedy with obvious cover-up suggest more guilt – a need to be questioned, a secret confession of being a weak leader and a president who puts a U.S. ambassador’s life at risk,” said Hodges.He said the newest messages shine new light on Obama’s July 13, 2012, statement that, “If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.”“The symbolic unconscious message (with a deeper context of a potential vote scam) is not difficult to discern: ‘If I stay in business as president, it won’t be because of me. I’m not really the one who will bring about my reelection – others are going to make sure it happens,’” Hodges said. “His headline-grabbing comment has all the earmarks that he was warning America – attempting to shock everyone into grasping – that a secret plan was taking shape to guarantee his reelection.”Hodges also cited Obama’s Sept. 25 address to the U.N., saying Obama was “confessing to his illegal presidency and an unfair election in 2008. In retrospect – now that evidence points to the real possibility of a fraudulent election – Obama suggests his brilliant always truthful super-intel was also looking ahead and confessing that plans were underway to steal the election.”On Hodges’ website, Steven A. Egger, associate professor of criminology at the University of Houston, Clear Lake, has written that Hodges’ technique is “becoming the cutting edge of forensic science.”“Dr. Hodges’ investigation of forensic documents in the Natalee Holloway case indicates that his ‘thoughtprint decoding method’ and ‘reading between the lines’ is, in fact, becoming a major contribution to law enforcement tools used by criminal investigators,” wrote Egger.

Egypt stocks plunge as anti-Morsi protests grow

Stock market falls nearly 10% in response to Egyptian president's power grab; street violence injures over 500.

CAIRO - Egypt's stock market plunged on Sunday in its first day open since Islamist President Mohamed Morsi's seizure of new powers set off street violence and a political crisis, unraveling efforts to restore stability after last year's revolution.More than 500 people have been injured in protests since Friday, when Egyptians awoke to news that Morsi had issued a decree widening his powers and shielding them from judicial review.Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood supporters were expected to turn out again on the streets in a show of support after prayers on Sunday afternoon. His supporters and opponents are both planning massive demonstrations on Tuesday that many fear will lead to more violence.Sunday's stock market fall of nearly 10 percent - halted only by automatic curbs - was the worst since the uprising that toppled Hosni Mubarak in February 2011. Images of protesters clashing with riot police and tear gas wafting through Cairo's Tahrir Square were an unsettling reminder of that revolution."We are back to square one, politically, socially," said Mohamed Radwan of Pharos Securities, an Egyptian brokerage firm.Judges announced on Saturday they would go on strike. Liberal politician Mohammed ElBaradei called Morsi a dictator.
Forged out of the once-banned Muslim Brotherhood, the Morsi administration has defended his decree as an effort to speed up reforms that will complete Egypt's democratic transformation.Yet leftists, liberals, socialists and others say it has exposed the autocratic impulses of a man once jailed by Mubarak, while Islamist parties have rallied behind Morsi."There is no room for dialogue when a dictator imposes the most oppressive, abhorrent measures and then says 'let us split the difference'," prominent opposition leader ElBaradei said."I am waiting to see, I hope soon, a very strong statement of condemnation by the US, by Europe and by everybody who really cares about human dignity," he said in an interview with Reuters and the Associated Press.Activists opposed to the Morsi decree were camped out in central Cairo for a third consecutive day. State media reported that Morsi met for a second day with his advisers."I am really afraid that the two camps are paving the way for violence," said Hassan Nafaa, a professor of political science at Cairo University. "Morsi has misjudged this, very much so. But forcing him again to relinquish what he has done will appear a defeat."Morsi's decree drew warnings from Western countries to uphold democracy, a day after he had received glowing tributes from the United States and others for his work brokering a deal to end eight days of violence between Israel and Hamas. 

MORE DESTRUCTION FROM SANDY IN 8 HRS THAN IN ALL OF ISRAEL SINCE 1948

THERE WAS 1,500 ROCKETS SHOT INTO ISRAEL DURING THE PILLAR OF DEFENCE WAR.AND ONLY 5 ISRAELIS DEAD COMPARED TO 150 HAMAS MEMBERS KILLED.THIS IS HOW GOD PROTECTS ISRAELIS IN ISRAEL.

DURING THE HURRICANE SANDY THAT HIT NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY.THERE WAS MORE DAMAGE IN 8 HOURS IN NY AND NJ ISRAELI PROPERTIES FROM HURRICANE SANDY THEN IN ALL THE WARS IN ISRAEL SINCE 1948 WHEN ISRAEL BECAME A NATION.THIS TELLS YOU HOW GOD PROTECTS ISRAELIS IN ISRAEL.THEIR GOD GIVIN LAND.

Who Was Hit Harder? RABBI LAZOR BRODY

In the recent round of hostilities, my beloved hometown of Ashdod was hit with 190 GRAD missiles from Gaza. despite the fact the the Iron Dome anti-missile system missed quite a few, only three people were slightly injured. And now, only four days since the ceasefire took hold, most of the damage has already been repaired.In contrast, when I was in Brooklyn ten days after Hurricane Sandy, much of the damage had not been dealt with. Power lines were still down, cars remained crushed under trees (see below), and there were still long lines to get gas. Many of the homes in the New York City and New Jersey Coast suffered irreparable damage. 8 hours of Hurricane Sandy were much worse than 8 days of missile fire from Gaza, with much less loss of life and property. Even after the recent round of hostilities, Rav Shalom Arush still says that the Land of Israel is the safest place on earth for a Jew.

Pope appoints six cardinals who will elect his successor

By Philip Pullella | Reuters – 38 mins ago NOV 24,12

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Benedict made six non-European prelates Roman Catholic cardinals on Saturday, chipping away at the old continent's domination of the elite group that will one day elect his successor.The new cardinals, ranging in age from 53 to 72, are from the United States, India, Nigeria, the Philippines, Lebanon and Colombia, and the decision to choose no Italians or Europeans looked like an attempt to counter criticism that he has in the past neglected the needs of the developing world.Elevating the new "princes" in a solemn ceremony known as a consistory in St Peter's Basilica, Benedict said his appointments reflected "that the Church is the Church of all peoples"."She speaks in the various cultures of the different continents ... amid the polyphony of the various voices, she raises a single harmonious song to the living God," he said in his sermon.The new cardinals are American Archbishop James Michael Harvey, Baselios Cleemis Thottunkal, a major archbishop of the Syro-Malankara rite in India, Archbishop Ruben Salazar Gomez of Bogota, Archbishop Luis Antonio Tagle of Manila, Beatitude Bechara Boutros Rai, patriarch of the Maronite Catholic Church in Lebanon, and Archbishop John Olorunfemi Onaiyekan of Abuja.All six are "cardinal electors," those under 80 years old and therefore eligible to enter a conclave that will one day choose Benedict's successor.Benedict gave the new cardinals their ring and traditional red "biretta," or hat. He reminded them that they wear red vestments because they must be ready to defend the faith "even to the shedding of your blood".The pope is a conservative on matters of faith and sexual morals such as birth control, homosexuality and the ban on women priests. Each time he names cardinals he chooses men who share his views and can shape the Church's future.Cardinals are the pope's closest aides in the Vatican, where they run its key departments, and around the world, where they head dioceses to administer the 1.2 billion members of the Roman Catholic Church.

NO ITALIANS, EUROPEANS

Benedict was criticized in some Church circles last February when, in choosing his previous batch of cardinals, he elevated many from the Vatican's central bureaucracy. He was accused of neglecting the needs of the developing world.But significantly, this time, there were no Europeans or Italians, groups who loomed large in past consistories.With 62 cardinals electors, Europeans still have a slight majority in the 120-member group, but their numbers have shrunk to be about even with the rest of the world.There are now 58 non-European electors and of them, 14 are from North America, 21 are from Latin America, Africa and Asia have 11 each and Australia has one.Two of the new cardinals, Boutros Rai, 72, of Lebanon, and Onaiyekan, 68, of Nigeria, are from countries with significant Muslim populations.The pope's decision to raise the two to the highest rank in the Church short of the papacy indicates his concern for relations between Christianity and Islam.The pope visited predominantly Muslim Lebanon last September and called on members of both faiths to work together to build peace in the Middle East and beyond.In Nigeria, which is about 50 percent Muslim, the Islamist sect Boko Haram has killed hundreds of people in attacks since launching an uprising in 2009. Many of the attacks have been on Christians and churches.Thottunkal, 53, the Indian, is on the front line of inter-religious dialogue with Hinduism.The other two, Gomez, 70, of Bogota, Colombia, and Tagle, 55, of Manila, come from predominantly Catholic countries.Benedict has now named 67, or more than half, of the cardinals who will elect his successor from among their own ranks. The other 53 were named by Pope John Paul.The pope's health appears to be good but he has been looking frail recently and has started using a cane.Popes usually reign for life but in a book in 2010, Benedict said he would not hesitate to become the first pontiff to resign in more than 700 years if he felt no longer able "physically, psychologically and spiritually" to run the Catholic Church.Harvey, the 63-year-old American, was the prefect of the Pontifical Household. He arranged the pope's schedule, including private and public audiences, and looked after world leaders visiting the Vatican.He is now becoming the archpriest of the Basilica of St Paul's Outside the Walls in Rome.In his previous post, Harvey was in charge of the pope's former butler Paolo Gabriele, who was convicted last month of stealing papal documents and leaking them to the media.

When the names of the new cardinals were announced last month, a spokesman denied that the promotion of Harvey was a means of removing him because of the scandal.(Reporting By Philip Pullella; Editing by Andrew Osborn)

2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

US Senators warn Abbas about upcoming UN bid

Democrats and Republicans say move could jeopardize American aid, and that negotiations are the only way to a Palestinian state

November 24, 2012, 4:16 am 2-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

JTA — US Sens Ben Cardin (D-Md.) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) sent a letter to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas opposing any unilateral attempts to pursue non-member state status at the United Nations General Assembly.The letter, sent Wednesday, said that “Palestinian statehood can only be realized as a result of a broader peace agreement negotiated with the Israelis, not through unilateral measures at the United Nations.”Cardin and Collins, who co-authored a Senate resolution denouncing the statehood bid which passed unanimously in June and was co-sponsored by 90 senators, also warned Abbas that “any such efforts may cause consequences in regards to US policy and foreign aid.”A bid in the General Assembly is likely to be approved. Last year, the United States used its veto to prevent a similar statehood bid in the UN Security Council. No country has a veto in the General Assembly.US.Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in announcing a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza on Wednesday night in Cairo, said the next steps include moving toward a “comprehensive peace” between Israel and the Palestinians.

Meanwhile, Ambassador Susan E. Rice, US Permanent Representative to the United Nations, said Wednesday at the Security Council that the United States “view(s) unilateral steps, including the bid for upgraded status to statehood — observer state status at the General Assembly — to be counterproductive and not take us closer to that goal, and, therefore, we strongly oppose it.”

Environmental protection minister calls Abbas a Hamas operative in disguise

‘At least Arafat wore a uniform, not a suit,’ says Gilad Erdan

By Yoel Goldman November 24, 2012, 2:59 pm 0-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

Environmental Protection Minister Gilad Erdan (Likud) called Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas a Hamas operative in disguise on Saturday, displaying that campaign season was in full swing in Israel.

At a cultural even in the city of Bat Yam, just south of Tel Aviv, Erdan said Abbas was a “Hamasnik” disguised in a business suit, noting, “At least his predecessor Arafat wore a uniform.”The minister claimed that Abbas had congratulated Hamas on firing missiles at civilians and said that he who “encourages incitement in the Palestinian Authority and acts unilaterally in the international arena is a Hamas operative in disguise.”Erdan was referring to Abbas’s plan to submit a resolution to the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday, asking for an upgrade in status for the PA to a nonmember observer state.The resolution is expected to pass by a large margin, and once approved, the measure would allow the Palestinian to join several international bodies, including the International Criminal Court. PA officials have threatened to sue Israel at the ICC for crimes related to the occupation of Palestinian lands.The minister for regional development, Silvan Shalom (Likud), also criticized Abbas on Saturday for his upcoming UN bid.Shalom said Abbas’s push for the recognition of an independent Palestinian state was “a cancellation in practice and a callous violation of the Oslo Accords, which prohibit unilateral measures.”

'Son of Hamas' Says Israel Made a Mistake with Ceasefire

Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of one of the founders of Hamas and former Shin Bet agent: Israel made a mistake by agreeing to a ceasefire.By Elad Benari, Canada First Publish: 11/23/2012, 10:06 PM-INN

Mosab Hassan Yousef-Arutz Sheva / INN TV

Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of one of the founders of the Hamas terrorist organization and author of the book “Son of Hamas,” said on Friday that Israel made a mistake by agreeing to a ceasefire with Gaza’s terrorist rulers.Yousef has spent a number of years abroad following a decade in which he risked his life working undercover as an agent for the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet). His code name during that time was 'The Green Prince.'"What is important is that at the moment there is a ceasefire, and I think we need to look at things and digest all of what happened," Yousef told Israel’s Channel 2 News in a special interview.
"I believe the Shin Bet did its best,” he added. “Let's not forget that our enemy is a barbaric one which uses women and children as human shields, and in these situations we are very limited, because we care about the lives of innocent citizens.”Asked about the possibility of an Israeli ground operation in Gaza, Yousef responded that "it may be that it was not the best timing for action of this kind - but I'm sure it's a possibility that Israel will consider for the future.""Israel should not reoccupy Gaza, but I believe that it has the ability to guard the borders through which Hamas transfers weapons," said Yousef, adding that he believes there may be another round of violence between the two sides. "Today we know that they have greater capabilities than ever before. I'm sure it will allow us to prepare for the future,” he said.Speaking about the possibility that Israel would have to work towards toppling the Hamas regime in Gaza, the former Shin Bet agent said, "This is necessary, but we have to work very hard for it. This is necessary not only for Israel - but for the benefit of humanity. Hamas was born to destroy. It cannot build.”"I have trouble believing that Hamas will be able to one day build a modern state,” said Yousef. “I hope their lies will be exposed to the Palestinian public."

He praised the State of Israel, saying that "Israel helps the Palestinian people more than anyone else: every day it provides electricity and even the salaries paid to employees come from banks in Israel. There is also humanitarian aid that enters Gaza.”Finally, he turned to his father, Hassan Yousef, and other Hamas leaders and said, "I want to say to the members of the organization, including my father, who are listening to this interview - brave people do not hide behind children and fire missiles. If they had even a bit of courage - they would be able to leave Gaza instead of hiding like rats."(Arutz Sheva’s North American Desk is keeping you updated until the start of Shabbat in New York.

Taking down Hamas is a necessity, not just for Israel, but for humanity,’ says estranged son of terror group’s founder

‘We need to educate the Palestinian public that Israel is not the enemy,’ Mosab Hassan Yousef tells Israel’s Channel 2

By Ron Friedman November 23, 2012, 10:41 pm 16-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

Sounding more like the frustrated resident of a southern Israeli city after suffering days of sirens and rocket strikes than the son of one of Hamas’s founders, Mosab Hassan Yousef told Israel’s Channel 2 News on Friday that taking down his father’s terror organization “is a necessity, not just for Israel, but for humanity.”

Speaking from a safe house in a secret US location 48 hours after a fragile ceasefire ended eight days of Israeli-Hamas conflict, the former terror operative turned Israeli informant said, “Let’s not forget that our enemy is a barbarian enemy and they are using women and children as a shield.”“Hamas was born to destroy. Hamas does not know how to build,” he said. “I doubt they will be able to build a modern Palestinian state and hope their lies will be exposed to the Palestinian public.”The son of Hamas founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef, Mosab Yousef broke ranks with Hamas in 1997 and began working for the Israeli domestic intelligence service Shin Bet. Ten years later, after helping Israel thwart dozens of terror attacks and arrest many members of his former movement, Yousef left for the United States where he sought political asylum and later converted to Christianity.When asked in the TV interview who he thought had won the recent round of fighting, Yousef, 33, echoed the words of many an Israeli pundit, saying that only the days to come will tell. “What’s important is that there is a ceasefire right now and I think that we need to rethink and recalculate everything that happened.”‘Hamas was born to destroy. Hamas does not know how to build. I doubt they will be able to build a modern Palestinian state and hope their lies will be exposed to the Palestinian public’Asked to weigh in on the strategic value of an Israeli ground operation versus the long range bombing that the air force carried out during the eight days of Operation Pillar of Defense, Yousef said, “Maybe this was not the perfect time for Israel to execute a ground operation, but this is an option that I am sure Israel will take into consideration in the future. It does not have to re-occupy the Gaza Strip, does not have to go into very populated areas, but I believe Israel can control the borders, where Hamas smuggles its weapons, anytime.”Speaking as footage of air force jets pounding Hamas targets in Gaza, and of IDF soldiers preparing their tanks for a possible incursion, played in the background, Yousef said that “If Hamas continues to threaten the security of the state of Israel, I believe Israel has the ability and the capacity to control the borders and cut off the weapons supply.”Yousef said he was not surprised to see Hamas had proved capable of firing at cites in the center of Israel, as it did on several occasions over the week, aiming for Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. “I think the Israeli intelligence knew about Hamas’s capacity. That was a test to see what Hamas has in storage, and today we know their ability more than any time in the past. I am sure this will allow us to prepare for what is beyond the horizon,” Yousef said.“Among the poor, hungry and ignorant Palestinians, Hamas’s credit went up, but I am sure that at the end of the day Hamas cannot provide Palestinians with peace,” he added.The solution, according to Yousef, is to educate Gazans about their real friends and foes. ”We need to expose the lies and educate the Palestinian public that Israel is not the enemy. Israel actualy helps the people of Gaza more than anybody else,” he said. “We need the average Palestinian to see this clearly.”In a particularly poignant part of the interview, Yousef chose to use the camera to speak directly to his father, the man who publicly disowned him two years ago.“I am sure that Hamas people, people like my father are listening to this interview. It is not courageous of them to hide behind children and launch missiles. Israel was out [of Gaza, having removed all its civilians and its military in the disengagement of 2005]. The battlefield was out of the populated areas. If they [Hamas members] had courage they could have come out of the Gaza Strip instead of hiding like rats,” he charged.Yousef said he hasn’t communicated with his parents since they publicly disowned him after the publication of his book “Son of Hamas,” in which he recounts the tale of his cooperation with Israeli intelligence in 2010. “I consider today that I don’t have a family,” he said.Addressing video footage of Hamas operatives dragging a body of a suspected collaborator with Israel through the streets of Gaza earlier this week, Yousef said: “Hamas thinks they can kill the will of people by intimidation. Most of those who are killed in the Gaza Strip for the suspicion of collaborating with Israel, have nothing to do with Israel.”Asked if he ever desires to return to his West Bank hometown of Ramallah, Yousef chuckled, saying, “Everybody knows what the result would be. I am not interested in going to Ramallah as of now, but I hope at some point in the future there will be a new generation that prays for peace and co-existence. If this happens I would love to go back to Ramallah, at least to visit.”Yousef concluded the English-language interview with a smile and by wishing viewers Shabbat Shalom, a good Sabbath, in Hebrew.Elhanan Miller contributed to this report.

Hamas claims truce deal says nothing about stopping the flow of weapons into Gaza

Egypt has already intecepted one shipment of missiles; Israel insists on maintaining naval blockade

By Yoel Goldman and Ron Friedman November 24, 2012, 9:59 am-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

The ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas which ended Operation Pillar of Defense does not include Egyptian guarantees to prevent the smuggling of weapons to Gaza, said a senior Hamas official on Saturday.Izzat al-Rishq, a member of the terrorist organization’s political bureau, wrote on his Facebook page that Israel was attempting to protect its image following defeat.“It is not true what some people are saying that the ceasefire agreement included the approval of Egypt to prevent the smuggling of weapons to Gaza in conjunction with US special units … These leaks are an Israeli attempt to mitigate the impact of defeat,” he posted.This week, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad terror organization, which is closely allied with Iran, said that the group would continue to rearm in Gaza, reported Israel Radio.The published terms of the brief agreement do not appear to include a crackdown on weapons smuggling. However, a more comprehensive set of terms is expected to be hammered out in the coming days, with London-based Al-Quds Al-Arabi reporting that talks between representatives of Israel, Hamas and Islamic Jihad began Friday with the help of Egyptian intelligence officials.Israel’s Channel 2 said Egypt had already intercepted one shipment of missiles en route to Gaza., It also said that in the talks, Israel has indicated a willingness to let Gaza fishermen sail out further from the Gaza coast, though it is insisting on maintaining its naval blockade to prevent weapons reaching Hamas by sea.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the flow of weapons into the Strip on Wednesday night, following the announcement of the ceasefire. According to the prime minister, “Israel obviously cannot sit idly while our enemy reinforces itself with weapons of terror.” He added that in a phone conversation that night with the US president, “we decided, President Obama and myself, that the United States and Israel would work together to fight the smuggling of weapons to the terror organizations — weapons, virtually all of which come from Iran.”After the eight-day conflict, during which the IDF conducted some 1,500 strikes on terrorist cells and infrastructure in Gaza and Hamas pounded Israel with roughly the same number of rockets and missiles, both sides are claiming victory.IDF chief of staff Lt.-Gen. Benny Gantz said Friday that all the objectives laid out ahead of Operation Pillar of Defense were met successfully. “In its entirety, the operation was coordinated with the upper echelon. We knew what we wanted to achieve and how we wanted to act,” said Gantz. “All the operation’s objectives were successfully met.”“As the days pass and the dust settles, the other side will realize the price it paid for its actions,” the IDF chief said, adding that people should not get worked up over “the various demonstrations” being held by Hamas and its supporters hailing victory. “The results will speak for themselves,” said Gantz.

Protests in Egypt Over Morsi's New 'Pharaoh' Powers

President Mohammed Morsi insists Egypt is on the path to "freedom and democracy", as protesters hold rallies over his sweeping powers.By Elad Benari, Canada First Publish: 11/23/2012, 8:40 PM-INN

Supporters and opponents of Morsi clash in Alexandria-AFP photo

President Mohammed Morsi on Friday insisted Egypt was on the path to "freedom and democracy", as protesters held rival rallies over sweeping powers he assumed a day earlier."Political stability, social stability and economic stability are what I want and that is what I am working for," he told an Islamist rally outside the presidential palace, according to an AFP report."I have always been, and still am, and will always be, God willing, with the pulse of the people, what the people want, with clear legitimacy," he said from a podium before thousands of supporters.Secular opponents staged a rival rally in Cairo's Tahrir Square to denounce Morsi's power grab. Some clashed with police on the outskirts of the square, reported AFP.Just hours before Morsi spoke, protesters attacked Muslim Brotherhood offices in several cities, including in Alexandria."The situation in Alexandria is tense and security forces are eager to exercise self-restraint and maintain security and protect vital establishments," General Abdelmawgud Lutfi, head of Alexandria security, said in a statement.In Cairo, an array of liberal and secular groups, including activists at the forefront of the protest movement that forced former President Hosni Mubarak from power early last year, marched on Tahrir Square, Cairo's iconic protest hub, to demonstrate against the "new pharaoh".Morsi's backers, led by the Muslim Brotherhood, gathered outside the presidential palace in north Cairo in a show of support for his decision to temporarily place his decisions above judicial oversight."The people support the president's decisions," the crowd chanted.On Thursday, the president undercut a hostile judiciary that had been considering whether to scrap an Islamist-dominated panel drawing up a new constitution, stripping judges of the right to rule on the case or to challenge his decrees.The decision effectively places the president above judicial oversight until a new constitution is ratified.Morsi's opponents poured into Tahrir Square after the main weekly Muslim prayers, joined by leading secular politicians Mohamed ElBaradei, a former UN nuclear watchdog chief, and Amr Mussa, a former foreign minister and Arab League chief.Morsi's decisions "are clearly aimed at appropriating revolutionary legitimacy and using it to strengthen the position of the Muslim Brotherhood-controlled presidency," Hesham Sallam, a political analyst at Georgetown University, told AFP.
"The decrees effectively render the presidential decisions final and not subject to the review of judicial authorities, which marks a return to Mubarak-style presidency, without even the legal cosmetics that the previous regime used to employ to justify its authoritarian ways," Sallam said.A spokesman for the Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), headed by Morsi before his election, said the president's decree was necessary to cut short the turbulent transitional period."We need to move things in the right direction," Murad Ali said, according to AFP. "We need stability. That's not going to happen if we go back again to allowing the judges, who have personal reasons, to dissolve the constituent assembly in order to prolong the transitional phase.”
Morsi also sacked prosecutor general Abdel Meguid Mahmud, whom he failed to oust last month, amid strong misgivings among the president's supporters about the failure to secure convictions of more members of the old regime.The new prosecutor will open new investigations into the acquitted officials.Mubarak and his interior minister Habib al-Adly were both jailed for life for their role in ordering the killings, but six top security chiefs who stood trial with them were acquitted.(Arutz Sheva’s North American Desk is keeping you updated until the start of Shabbat in New York.

Syria says Turkey's bid for NATO missiles "provocative"

By Erika Solomon | Reuters – 18 hrs ago NOV 24,12

BEIRUT (Reuters) - Syria on Friday condemned Turkey's request for NATO to deploy Patriot defense missiles near their common border, calling it "provocative", after a spate of clashes there that has raised fear of the Syrian civil war embroiling the wider region.The 20-month-old uprising against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has turned increasingly bloody and heavy fighting has often erupted right along Syria's northern border with Turkey. Ankara has repeatedly scrambled fighter jets and responded in kind to stray shells and mortars flying into its territory.In the first Syrian response to Ankara's request earlier this week, a ministry source told Syrian state television that Damascus would hold Turkey's prime minister responsible for increasing tensions along the frontier.Turkey's missile request may have riled Damascus and its allies - notably Russia and Iran - because it could be seen as a first step toward implementing a no-fly zone.Syrian rebels have been requesting a no-fly zone to help them hold territory against a government with overwhelming firepower from the air, but most foreign governments are loath to impose one for fear of getting sucked into the conflict.The Patriot system is designed to intercept aircraft or missiles. Turkey asked for it after weeks of talks with its NATO allies about how to shore up its 900-km (560 mile) border, where it fears security may crumble as the Syrian army fights harder to contain the rebels - who have enjoyed sanctuary in Turkey.
"Syria stresses its condemnation of the Turkish government's latest provocative step," the ministry source told Syria TV.The source said that Syria would respect Turkish sovereignty but also said that it "holds (Tayyip) Erdogan responsible for the militarization of the situation on the Syrian-Turkish border and increased tensions".NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen said on Thursday that the possible deployment of Patriot missiles was "purely defensive" and would "serve as a deterrent to possible enemies even thinking of attacks".
The U.S.-led Western alliance has had some talks on the Turkish request but no decision is expected before next week.TURKEY REJECTS SYRIAN CRITICISM
Asked about Syria's remarks, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said Damascus was at fault for heightened tensions by having attacked its own people with tanks and warplanes "without any regard for any rules of war"."There exists such a situation now right next to Turkey, that (Turkey) has to take its own measures...aimed at defense."If this measure is not needed then it will not be used, but if there is any kind of risk to Turkey's security, all kinds of steps will be taken, both within Turkey's national capacity and within the framework of Turkey's membership of NATO. Nobody should have a need to question this," Davutoglu added.Russia, Syria's main arms supplier, opposes the deployment of surface-to-air missiles. It is not a NATO member and cannot block alliance decisions, but planned talks with NATO about a move it says "would not foster stability in the region".Analyst Michael Stephens of the RUSI think-tank in Doha said Turkey's request was a symbolic gesture, noting that Patriots could do little to stop incoming mortar fire.
"It could be a first step to a no-fly zone, but what does that take? NATO would need a mandate, which means a United Nations Security Council resolution, and Russia will obviously say no to that," he said.
DEATH TOLL RISES ABOVE 40,000
Western states, keen to avoid another costly Middle East conflict and wary of backing rebels who include Islamist militants, have stayed on the sidelines, although France and Britain formally recognized a newly formed opposition coalition as the sole representative of the Syrians this month.With no credible peace mediation on the horizon, the number of dead is rising rapidly by the day. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said more than 40,000 had died and the actual number may well be higher because both sides appeared to be under-reporting their casualties.Rebels appear to have been advancing in recent weeks, seizing several military bases in the eastern oil-producing province of Deir al-Zor, Aleppo in the north and even around the capital Damascus.Their tactics have improved as they focus on controlling roads and sealing off military bases.Recent rebel gains in Deir al-Zor, including the Mayadeen artillery base on Thursday, have meant notable amounts of arms and a wider swathe of territory passing into insurgent hands.
REBELS STILL LACK FIREPOWER
But rebels still lack advanced heavy weaponry they need to oust Assad's well-armed troops ensconced in the main cities, and remain vulnerable to increasingly frequent air strikes.Many surface-to-air missiles seized in recent rebel raids seem to be missing some of the equipment needed to fire them, arms experts say. This means the rebels probably have the means only to fire a few anti-aircraft missiles at a time."The rebels have made big advances in the countryside and even into the main (Deir al-Zor) city, but they cannot take it," Stephens said. "This is another brick the rebels have taken down, but it is not critical for toppling the regime."

Deir al-Zor province abuts the long Iraqi border but controlling it may not offer the same advantages seen by rebels near the northern border with Turkey, where the fighters can go in and out easily.Iraqis are slipping in to fight on both sides, reflecting the sectarian faultlines increasingly defining Syria's conflict.Iraq's majority Shi'ite Muslims largely support Assad, whose Alawite minority, derived from Shi'ite Islam, has dominated the country for 42 years. Sunni Muslims in Iraq generally support the revolt, which is spearheaded by Syria's Sunni majority.Assad met in Damascus on Friday with Iranian parliament speaker Ali Larijani and said he was pursuing national dialogue even as his forces were "fighting terrorism", which he said threatens to erode Syria's security and regional stability.The embattled Syrian president looked well in video footage of him with Larijani released by state television.In Beirut later, Larijani told a press conference that Iran supported democratic change in Syria but not intervention."Others want to impose democracy in Syria through the force of weapons and this will only lead to destruction," he said.(Additional reporting by Oliver Holmes in Beirut and Jonathon Burch in Ankara; Editing by Mark Heinrich)

Jeremiah Prophesized Iron Dome Defense



Jeremiah Prophesized Iron Dome Defense Friday night, Sabbath eve. I was sitting with my son-in-law at the Tapuach community synagogue, in the Shomron, north Samaria. We were just about to begin the beautiful Shabbat service, when suddenly, sirens started whining and blasting.The sound wasn’t really strange to me. I hear it, not first-hand in Beer Sheva, Ashkelon, Ashdod, or other places. Rather sitting, staring at my computer screen in Hebron. I have a program which notifies me whenever sirens start sounding. It too is a siren. The only difference is, that in Hebron, I don’t have to run for shelter.  Anywhere else you hear it, you have to scurry pretty fast to avoid the possibility of being hit by one of the Hamas rockets.But, I must admit, hearing a siren in a Samaria synagogue, well, it sort of makes your hair stand up. After all, we are quite a ways away from Gaza. They do have long-range missiles, but still…We all looked at each other, trying to figure out what to do, where to go. The shelters there weren’t really ready for a public stampede. After a few minutes someone came in and exclaimed that sirens were sounded throughout all of Israel. “I guess that means war,” I remarked, “all-out war.”But a few minutes later we were informed that a rocket had been shot towards Jerusalem,and, ‘just in case,’ sirens were sounded over much of Judea and Samaria. We later heard that the missile had fallen in an Arab village near Gush Etzion, halfway between Hebron and Jerusalem.So much for sirens.Actually as I’m writing this, listening to the radio in the background, I can’t even begin to count the virtual sirens warnings I’ve been alerted to over the past 10 minutes. Basically, that’s the way it is all day.Here in Hebron, many reservists have replaced the regular IDF brigades usually here.Older men, from around Israel, are standing guard and patrolling.  Yesterday I met a man from Netivot, near Beer Sheva in the south, one of the cities being bombarded day and night. “Ah,” I told him, “here you’re safer here than in Netivot. Here there aren’t any missiles or rockets, just rocks and firebombs.” Actually, that’s really what we are facing here, over the past few days. Hebron Arabs, supporting Hamas terrorists, are hurling massive amounts of rocks and firebombs, on the roads and within the city. A firebomb hit a pizza truck near Beit Hadassah Saturday night, and a little while ago another fire-bomber was shot in the leg by an IDF officer, caught in the act of trying to kill Jews with his Molotov cocktail.  Rocks are flying all over, but thank G-d, without too many injuries.For the time being we are all sitting, watching, and waiting: what will be next? Will Israel commence with a ground war? We all have friends and relatives who’ve been called-up in the emergency draft. One of my sons and a son-in-law were swooped out of civilian life to take part in the defense of Israel.  My son-in-law,a Rabbi, living in a mostly secular town not far from Beer Sheva was notified on Shabbat that he should report immediately to his unit. So he caught a ride with a resident from his neighborhood, even before Shabbat was over.(Orthodox Jews usually don’t drive on Shabbat.)So it goes when our country goes to war. And make no mistake: war it is! This is a very emotionally trying week. Current events are undoubtedly stressing.But I find myself dwelling on other thoughts too.Every week, a different member of the community writes a short Torah message,distributed to soldiers in Hebron on Friday, before Shabbat, with all sorts of goodies –cookies, cake, and the like. A few days ago, my friend Yoni Bleichbard, (himself also drafted and now serving – here in Hebron), who initiated the Sabbath soldier program, asked me to write an article for the coming Shabbat.Here is a brief version of part of the essay: “In this week’s Torah portion, we read that Ya’akov (Jacob) left Beer Sheva, fleeing from his brother Esau, who wanted to kill him. The primary commentator on the Torah, Rashi, writes: The departure of a righteous man from a place makes an impression, for while the righteous man  is in the city, he is its beauty, he is its splendor, he is its majesty. When he departs from there, its beauty has departed, its splendor has departed, its majesty has departed. It was exactly ten years ago, this coming Shabbat, that 12 righteous men departed from our city, and that definitely left an impression. A shining light extinguished that Shabbat eve. Twelve men, officers, soldiers and civilians, caught in a terror ambush outside the south gate of Kiryat Arba, were killed on what was called ‘worshiper’s way.’Colonel Dror Weinberg, commander of the Hebron brigade, and Kiryat Arba security chief Yitzhak Boanish, were among those gunned down.These men, serving their people, doing their job with their amazing heroism, worked to protect the lives of the residents of Kiryat Arba and Hebron when three cursed terrorists tried to end the lives of innocent civilians. They gave their lives, they sacrificed themselves, for their people and their country.”I read an article, published last week, dealing with this horrific event, and it made me shiver, even after a decade. These men knowingly took part in the bloodiest battle in Hebron since 1929, and went to their deaths as genuine heroes.This is the fabric of Am Yisrael, of the Jewish people. There were days, months and years when Hebron was under daily attack. Israel’s north came under rocket fire for years;Kiryat Shemona was showered with Katusha missiles shot from South Lebanon. So too the brave people who lived in Gush Katif, as well as those in Sderot, and today,Beer Sheva, Ashkelon and Ashdod.There isn’t anyone, anywhere in this small country, that hasn’t faced an enemy threat,be it in his home, on the roads, or on the battlefield.What keeps us going? Jeremiah 46:27 - Fear not, My servant Jacob, and be not dismayed, O Israel! for behold,I will redeem you from afar and your children from the land of their captivity, and Jacob shall return and be quiet and at ease, and there shall be none who disturb his rest.In this week’s Torah portion, G-d promises Jacob that he will come back to Eretz Yisrael,safe and sound. So, too, the L-rd has promised us, the children of Jacob, that He will protect us from afar (shades of the Iron Dome Missile system). In the end, none will disturb us, we will be fully redeemed. So it will be. For all the people, from Kiryat Shemona to Eilat, are heroes, and there are none who are afraid. And we will never be dismayed. And that’s what keeps us going.Photos: David and Raphael Wilde.

Leaders break off EU budget talks

23.11.12 @ 17:19 By Valentina Pop

EU leaders on Friday (23 November) decided to break off the 2014-2020 budget negotiations and postpone them for another summit, as a second compromise attempt failed to reconcile positions between those wanting cuts and those asking for more money.Admitting that there are "still existing divergences," EU council chief Herman Van Rompuy at a press conference said that leaders had given him the task to continue bilateral talks in the coming weeks, with a view to a final deal early next year.EU commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso will also be involved in what he described as "complex, difficult, but constructive talks."
The tone was set already in the morning when most leaders expressed scepticism that a deal would be reached. "Positions are too far apart, but as I said before it would not be dramatic if we need to come back next year," German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on her way into the discussions.EU diplomats conceded that there was not enough pressure for the leaders to agree already now for a budget framework that will start on 1 January 2014. The seven-year budget agreed in 1999 was agreed after poisonous debates only nine months before it should have started and in 2005, it was sealed 12 months before."We are well within the normal calendar. There will be no drama if there is no deal this weekend," a German official told journalists in Berlin on Thursday.The Prime Ministers of Austria, Luxembourg, Finland, Netherlands struck a similar tone, downplaying expectations about a deal on Friday.Meanwhile, British Prime Minister David Cameron dismissed the latest draft budget tabled the night before by EU council chair Herman Van Rompuy as "tinkering with figures" instead of making real spending cuts. "We need a real cut, that's what's happening at home, that's what needs to happen here," he said.But neither were eastern member states happy. According to one participant at the debates, Romanian President Traian Basescu lashed out at the proposal and demanded more for cohesion and agriculture aid.Romania however has used less than ten percent of the €20 billion allocated for 2007-2013 and the EU commission has frozen all the funds for this year due to irregularities in the public tenders. The non-used money flows back to member states.Commenting on the negotiations, Liberal leader and former Belgian Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt said the whole summit looked like a "Turkish bazaar" where everyone needs to show they fought for a good deal, even though the sum is tiny compared to what national budgets are.The one-trillion-euro budget for 2014-2020 is only one percent of EU's total gross domestic product, compared to 24 percent of the federal budget in the US, Verhofstadt stressed.
