Ya'alon: Terrorist Release Decision Taken 'With a Heavy Heart'

Despite his "heavy hearted" decision, Minister of Defense skeptical as to whether current negotiations will lead to peace.-By Ari Soffer-First Publish: 8/13/2013, 2:24 PM-israelnationalnews

During a tour of Israel's northern border, Israeli Defense Minister Moshe "Bogie" Ya'alon related to the imminent decision to release 26 terrorists, many of whom are responsible for the murder of Israeli civilians, saying that it was done with a "heavy heart.""The decision to release these terrorists is a difficult one for all members of the government, and to me personally," he stated, as "I myself captured some of them during my time as commander of (the IDF's) Judea and Samaria Division."Expressing sympathy for the victims' families he continued, "My heart is with the families, and I do not envy their position. However there are many other considerations standing before the Israeli government as well. We took the decision to free them with a heavy heart."Yet in a comment that is bound to compound the frustration of those very families with whom Ya'alon expressed his sympathy, the Defense Minister said that he was not optimistic that their release would lead to a meaningful peace agreement."Do I believe that the release of terrorists will honestly lead to a breakthrough in peace talks? We'll wait and see.""We have committed ourselves to 9 months [of talks - ed.] to reach an agreement with the Palestinians," he said, but continued by expressing his skepticism, pointing out that such talks have not been fruitful before."We have been trying already for 20 years since Oslo, and 120 years since the start of the conflict itself," he pointed out, adding that it is easy to see why people are skeptical."But we chose to give it a chance," he added.Ya'alon also related to last night's rocket fire on the southern tourist resort city of Eilat by Sinai-based terrorists. He said that it was clear that terrorist groups in the Sinai Peninsula were able and willing to launch such attacks in the future, but maintained that the army was doing everything possible to protect Israel's southern border.Ya'alon urged residents and tourists in Eilat not to change their daily routine, noting the presence of the "Iron Rome" missile defense system, which succeeded in intercepting the rockets fired last night.
"Victory for terrorism"
Meanwhile, victims of terrorism and their families have reacted with anger and despair to the High Court decision to reject its motion against the release of the first "batch" of 26 terrorist murderers, to be released as a “gesture” to the Palestinian Authority (PA).Following the court decision, protesters have blocked access roads leading to and from Ofer Prison, in a last-ditch attempt to prevent the release of terrorist murderers.
Meir Indor, chairman of Almagor, an organization that represents victims of Arab terrorism, accused the courts and government of simply ignoring the appeals against the release and not even bothering to relate to them properly."We regret very much that the court, like the prime minister, did not even listen to the serious arguments regarding the government's crossing of red lines, including the fact that some of the terrorists being released committed their crimes after the Oslo accords were signed," he said "The Supreme Court locked its gates today before the bereaved families and the Jewish terror victims – something it does not do when it comes to any Palestinians,” Indor added – noting, among other past decisions by the High Court, its willingness to force the state to change the route of the security fence, at the cost of hundreds of millions of dollars, because of complaints by Arabs."The High Court has, in effect, erased the status of the victims and has given its protection to the men of terror, who will be able to demand the release of murderers from now on,” he went on. “This is a very sad day for the bereaved families and Israeli society, and a day of victory for the terror organizations and their supporters.”

Netanyahu: EU Boycott Undermines Peace

The EU boycott of Israeli entities beyond the 1949 Armistice Line will negatively affect peace, PM tells Germany's Foreign Minister.-By Elad Benari-First Publish: 8/13/2013, 4:12 AM-INNews

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said on Monday that the European Union’s new guidelines which boycott Israeli entities that operate from beyond the 1949 Armistice Line will do nothing to help achieve peace but, in fact, will negatively affect the chances for peace.Netanyahu made the comments during a meeting with German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle. The meeting was held at the Prime Minister’s residence in Jerusalem, as Netanyahu is still recovering from his emergency hernia operation."Welcome to Jerusalem. You’re a friend; Chancellor Merkel is a friend; and Germany is a friend of Israel,” Netanyahu told Westerwelle. “We both want the same thing – to achieve peace. We’re committed to peace and we’re working for peace.”He added, “I have to say, on a sad note, that I think Europe, the European guidelines by the EU have actually undermined peace. They’ve hardened Palestinian positions, they seek an unrealistic end that everybody knows is not going to happen, and I think they stand in the way of reaching a solution which will only be reached by negotiations by the parties, and not by an external dictate. I think this is something that you know very well, and I look forward to discussing with you how, bilaterally and other ways, we can advance peace together."On Sunday, Westerwelle met with Justice Minister Tzipi Livni, who told him that the EU is not the body to determine issues relating to Israel’s borders.Livni warned against making the "linkage between Israel, the EU and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict", referring to the new EU guidelines."The future borders of Israel and the future borders of the Palestinian state will be discussed in the negotiations room between Israel and the Palestinians and not as an EU decision, as we saw in the guidelines," she stressed.
"The EU should wait to see what's going to happen with the outcome of the negotiations," said Livni.
President Shimon Peres also told Westerwelle that the EU should put its proposed boycott of Israeli businesses in Judea and Samaria on hold in order to help the diplomatic process.Netanyahu clarified last week that Israel will not sign any contracts with Europe so long as its boycott of Judea, Samaria, eastern Jerusalem and even the Golan Heights - as per the new guidelines - continues.

Antisemitism in Canada: Swastikas in Winnipeg

Holocaust survivors and Jews of the town are alarmed, but not surprised: "Hatred and intolerance have once more reared their ugly heads."-By Kochava Rozenbaum-First Publish: 8/13/2013, 6:55 PM-INN

Swastikas (illustration)-Flash90
A number of spray painted swastikas were found on buildings in the Saint Boniface neighborhood of Winnipeg, Saskatchewan, Canada. The area is heavily populated by Jews including some Holocaust survivors. The local B’nai Brith Organization was alarmed and expressed their concern to the police, urging them to have the swastikas removed as soon as possible. "Hatred and intolerance have once more reared their ugly heads," said a B’nai Brith member.The swastikas were discovered in the past week mostly on city property, specifically at the Bertrand Arena and on electrical boxes and poles, according to Winnipeg police.
Police have been investigating the matter, yet there is still no word on who the charges will be made against.
B'nai Brith showed police officials an audit of anti-Semitic events in the neighborhood, which show an increase in numbers of incidents in recent years.

THE FIRST JUDGEMENT OF THE EARTH STARTED WITH WATER-IT ONLY MAKES SENSE THE LAST GENERATION WILL BE HAVING FLOODING
GENESIS 7:6-12
6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
GOD PROMISED BY A RAINBOW-THE EARTH WOULD NEVER BE DESTROYED TOTALLY WITH A FLOOD AGAIN.BUT FLOODIING IS A SIGN OF JUDGEMENT.

Typhoon Utor slams southern China, forces tens of thousands to evacuate

BEIJING Tens of thousands of people were evacuated as a powerful typhoon thundered into southern China on Wednesday after shutting down the bustling Asian financial center of Hong Kong.Packing high winds and torrential rain, Typhoon Utor forced the closure of schools, offices, shopping centers and construction sites in cities along its path northwest across Guangdong province.More than 60,000 people were evacuated in the city of Maoming alone, while another 98,000 were moved to safety to the south on the island province of Hainan, where 26,000 fishing boats were also ordered to shelter in harbors. Flights and ferry services were suspended on the island, stranding thousands of travelers.There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries on the mainland due to the storm, which was packing sustained gale force winds of 90 miles per hour.
In Hong Kong, offices, schools and courts were shut and the stock market halted trading, bringing an eerie calm to the normally busy southern Chinese commercial hub. More than 350 flights were canceled or delayed and bus and commuter ferry services were curtailed.Six people in Hong Kong were reported injured. Strong winds blew down 21 trees, but otherwise the city emerged largely unscathed.Utor was the world's strongest typhoon of the year before it crossed the Philippines earlier this week, leaving at least seven people dead and four missing. One woman in northeastern Isabela province was seen on camera being swept away by a raging river. Her body was found later.Dozens of fishermen were missing after the storm but most have since returned home, officials said.Rescuers were still struggling to reach at least three isolated towns in the hardest-hit Aurora province, where the typhoon slammed ashore."As of now, we don't have communication (with the three towns) and the roads are not passable, even to motorcycles, due to landslides, rockslides and uprooted trees," said Rey Balido, spokesman for the national disaster agency. He said authorities were taking alternate routes and that the Philippine air force will deliver relief goods.

13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14 The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.

REVELATION 16:18-20
18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
19 And the great city (JERUSALEM) was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

MYSTERY GUARDIAN ANGEL WAS A REAL PERSON THIS TIME

KING JESUS IS COMING FOR US ANY TIME NOW. THE RAPTURE. BE PREPARED TO GO.

EXODUS 3:1-5
1  Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.
2  And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
3  And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
4  And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.
5  And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.

Guardian Angel' at Missouri Car Accident Identified


The mystery priest who seemingly came from nowhere to pray with an accident victim at the scene of a head-on car crash in Missouri has come forward to say that he was only doing the basic job of a priest and most of the credit goes to God, who "took such good care of" the injured woman."I have no doubt the Most High answered their prayers and I was part of his answer, but only part," the Rev. Patrick Dowling told ABC News Monday.First responders had said they were convinced the mystery priest was sent from above.
Dowling, a priest in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Jefferson City, was the clergyman who showed up when an allegedly drunken driver hit Katie Lentz, of Quincy, Mo., head Aug. 4 while traveling on Route 19 near Center, Mo. The accident pinned the 19-year-old in the front seat of her vehicle."I was coming from 8:30 a.m. mass and shortly after that I saw this line of cars," Dowling recounted.Lentz was barely clinging to life and her vital signs were failing fast when she asked rescue crews to pray with her. That's when first responders say a man who looked like a Catholic priest seemed to appear out of nowhere, despite a 2-mile perimeter blocking the scene."One of the rescuers said to me, 'We need all the help we can get right now,'" Dowling said.Dowling had anointing oil with him. He prayed, gave Lentz the anointing of the sick, as well as absolution."There was a calmness that, to me, seemed to come over the entire scene," New London Fire Chief Raymond Reed said.But that's not the only seemingly divine detail. Firefighters say their equipment kept failing until the mystery man appeared.After Dowling performed his duties, he left the scene. But his sudden disappearance only added to the air of mystery. Dowling wasn't in any of the nearly 70 photos or videos taken near the scene, which left many wondering whether he was an angel from above.It wasn't long before the entire town and soon the country were searching for this seemingly heavenly hero who was dubbed the "angel priest."Lentz was eventually airlifted to a local hospital with broken legs and ribs. Dowling had a chance to meet with Lentz Saturday in the intensive care unit."I told her I'm the priest who stopped by the site and she started to cry. I don't know why," Dowling said. "I think it was the most disappointing moment of all that I wasn't an angel or something."While Lentz's savior might have salt and pepper hair instead of a halo, those closest to the teen say they still believe Dowling is an angel among men."Let's remember it was the all mighty who loved that little girl so much and took such good care of her," he said.
A native of Ireland, Dowling was ordained a priest for the Jefferson City Diocese in 1982. He serves in the prison ministry, and also ministers to the Spanish-speaking population of the Diocese of Jefferson City, according to the National Catholic Register.

THERES ONLY ONE MESSIAH AND HIS NAME IS JEWISH KING JESUS THE GOD OF THE WHOLE EARTH.AND ONLY WAY TO SALVATION-NO OTHER.BUT THE FUTURE WORLD LEADER WILL BELIEVE HE IS THE MESSIAH UNTIL JESUS DESTROYS HIM WITH THE BRIGHTNESS OF HIS COMING AT THE END OF THE 7 YEAR TRIBULATION PERIOD.

Judge changing baby's name Messiah draws reaction

A judge in eastern Tennessee changed the boy's first name to Martin from "Messiah." Child Support Magistrate Lu Ann Ballew ordered the name change, saying Messiah is a title that has been earned by one person "and that one person is Jesus Christ."(AP Photo/WBIR-TV, Heidi Wigdahl)
Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A Tennessee judge's decision to change a baby's first name from Messiah to Martin is drawing strong reactions from people who believe the judge overstepped her powers and those who think parents' creativity should have some limits.Thousands of people have commented online about the judge's order since WBIR-TV published its story over the weekend. Many of them said Child Support Magistrate Lu Ann Ballew went too far, but not all."I agree 100 percent that we only have one messiah and that's Jesus Christ," said Edith Wood, a resident of Cocke County in eastern Tennessee, where the boy lives. The mostly rural county is located in the Appalachian foothills and encompasses part of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.Wood said a cousin called from Atlanta and asked her to find the judge and take her out to dinner. Telephone calls to Ballew from The Associated Press rang unanswered Monday, and her voicemail was full.The hubbub started when the boy's mother sought an order to establish paternity. It included a request for the judge to determine the child's last name.When Ballew heard Messiah's first name, she decided it should be changed, too, saying the child could face problems with the name Messiah.The name on his birth certificate was Messiah DeShawn Martin. The judge changed it to Martin DeShawn McCullough, giving the boy his father's last name while replacing Messiah with his mother's surname.
"The word messiah is a title, and it's a title has only been earned by one person, and that one person is Jesus Christ," she told WBIR-TV in an interview from her office, which had a ceramic figurine of Joseph and Mary with baby Jesus on her desk. A copy of the Ten Commandments hung on the wall.While Messiah may not be a traditional English name, it is becoming more popular. Messiah was No. 4 among the fastest-rising baby names in 2012, just ahead of King but behind Major at No. 1, according to the Social Security Administration's annual list of popular baby names.And other religious names are very common, such as Mohammed in Islamic culture and Jesus (pronounced Heh-SOOS') in Hispanic culture.Asked about the name Jesus, Ballew said it was not relevant to the current case.A number of countries have rules about what are acceptable baby names. In Iceland earlier this year, a girl won a court battle to legally use the name given to her by her mother. Blaer means "light breeze" in Icelandic, but it was deemed to be not a proper feminine name by authorities, who referred to her in government documents as "Girl."Hedy Weinberg, director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Tennessee, said the U.S. is different because of the First Amendment.
"Parents, not the government, have the right to name a child," she said. "The judge cannot impose her faith on those who come into her courtroom."The ACLU has offered to help the parents fight the decision.Laura Wattenberg, the founder of babynamewizard.com, said she has been using the name Messiah as an example of changing baby names."The percentage of kids getting names we think of as normal is shrinking," Wattenberg said. "Today, Paisley is more common than Mary."Messiah Ramkissoon, a spoken word poet based in New York City, said people sometimes assume his name is a stage name. But he said the name simply represents a messenger and doesn't refer exclusively to Jesus. He added that many people are named Emanuel, which means "God is with us" and is another term used for Jesus in the Bible.The baby's mother, Jaleesa Martin, told WBIR-TV she chose the name Messiah because she likes the way it sounds and thinks it goes well with the names of her other two sons, Micah and Mason. She said she's appealing the decision and in the meantime will still call her son Messiah."I never intended on that — naming my son Messiah because it means God," she said. "And I didn't think a judge could make me change my baby's name because of her religious beliefs."

We shall have World Government, whether or not we like it. The only question is whether World Government will be achieved by conquest or consent.James Paul Warburg appearing before the Senate on 7th February 1950

Like a famous WWII Belgian General,Paul Henry Spock said in 1957:We need no commission, we have already too many. What we need is a man who is great enough to be able to keep all the people in subjection to himself and to lift us out of the economic bog into which we threaten to sink. Send us such a man. Be he a god or a devil, we will accept him.And today, sadly, the world is indeed ready for such a man.

1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
16 And he causeth all,(WORLD SOCIALISM) both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

REVELATION 17:3,7,9-10,12,18
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

The Last Minute: Terror Victims Look to Supreme Court

Terror victims’ group holds on to hope, ‘Supreme Court may prevent terrorists’ release.’

The Supreme Court may yet intervene to prevent the release of 26 terrorists, which the Israeli goverment has described as a “gesture” to PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, Attorney Naftali Wertzberger of the Almagor group for victims of terrorism believes.
The court has not yet issued a verdict in Almagor’s appeal against the release, which is unusual, he told IDF Radio (Galei Tzahal). “The very fact that the court has not yet issued a decision leaves room for hope,” he explained.He noted that on Monday it was revealed that the list of terrorists to be freed includes six who were jailed for crimes committed after the Oslo Accords were signed, despite government statements saying only pre-Oslo killers would be freed.“If the court prevents the release of only those six – it will be small comfort,” he said. The release is scheduled to take place Tuesday.Almagor’s problem with the planned terrorist release lies elsewhere. “The problem as we see it is moral. There’s a precedent for releasing members of terrorist groups, but not murderers,” Wertzberger explained.“All these years they’ve said they won’t free people with ‘blood on their hands,’ and now we see them freeing terrorists who murdered people with an axe, who did terrible things, horrific things,” he added.“The question is a moral one and the explanations calling this a diplomatic matter aren’t relevant here. No country on earth would release people like this, under circumstances like this,” he argued.He linked the plan to free terrorists to the death Monday of 98-year-old Nazi war crimes suspect Laszlo Csatary. “The Nazi criminal who died did similar things to those who will be freed. There’s a dissonance between chasing down everyone who murdered people and prisoner release,” he said.Wertzberger’s argument echoed a reaction from Rabbi Eliezer Weiss, whose wife and three young sons were burnt to death in a terrorist attack 22 years ago. The Weiss family’s murderers are expected to go free as part of the prisoner release deal.

High Court Rejects Motion to Block Terror Release

The High Court rejected a motion by the Almagor group for victims of terrorism, to block the release of Arab terrorists from prison that is scheduled to take place Tuesday night.
"Our hearts are with the family members, whose pain is great," wrote the judges, headed by Supreme Court President Asher Grunis. "We are certain that the authorized elements made their decision with a heavy heart and took into account the families' pain and their opinion."Before the decision, Attorney Naftali Wertzberger, who represents Almagor, said that he believes the release of the 26 terrorists, which the Israeli goverment has described as a “gesture” to PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, could still be prevented.The court has not yet issued a verdict in Almagor’s appeal against the release, which is unusual, he told IDF Radio (Galei Tzahal). “The very fact that the court has not yet issued a decision leaves room for hope,” he explained.
He noted that on Monday it was revealed that the list of terrorists to be freed includes six who were jailed for crimes committed after the Oslo Accords were signed, despite government statements saying only pre-Oslo killers would be freed.“If the court prevents the release of only those six – it will be small comfort,” he said.

Ministers Ignored Shin Bet, Added Terrorists to List

Ministers ignored recommendations from Israeli intelligence agents in order to ‘strengthen Abu Mazen.’

Ministers on the committee that voted to release 26 Arab terrorists, who will be freed Tuesday, ignored recommendations from the Shin Bet, Israel’s internal security service, Maariv reports.
The Shin Bet had provided a list of 40 terrorists from which the ministers were to choose the terrorists they wished to release. The list was compiled with the goal of avoiding freeing terrorists who would pose a particularly high threat to Israelis.However, the committee led by Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon reportedly decided to replace some names on the list it was given by the Shin Bet with other terrorists’ names, due to “Israel’s wish to strengthen the status of Abu Mazen.”The committee’s new names reflected prisoners’ popularity with the “Arab street,” whose release may improve popular opinion of the Palestinian Authority leadership.Abu Mazen is the kunya (an Arabic honorific form) of Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas. Abbas has faced challenges to his legitimacy from within the PA Arab community, primarily due to Hamas’ victory in the last parliamentary elections, the Hamas takeover of Gaza that effectively put over 40 percent of PA Arabs under new leadership, and his own refusal to hold new elections despite his term in office having expired several years ago.Israel is now holding renewed talks with Abbas toward the goal of the creation of a PA Arab state in Judea, Samaria and Gaza. Hamas has rejected the talks as illegitimate.
The impending terrorist release has been explained as a “good-will gesture” to Abbas in advance of talks. Abbas has vowed to free all Arab terrorists from Israeli prisons.The prisoner release "gesture" has caused significant distress to families of those the terrorists murdered.

Jerusalem's municipality has approved 942 new units in southern Jerusalem, a local official said Tuesday, on the eve of the scheduled resumption of "peace talks" with the Palestinian Authority.
"The Jerusalem municipality has approved a construction plan for 942 homes in Gilo," municipal councillor Yosef Pepe Alalu (Meretz) told AFP. Extreme leftists see the neighborhood as an “illegal settlement” because it was built on land liberated from Jordanian occupation in 1967.The units are in addition to the near 1,200 homes approved by Israel on Sunday, in a move that has angered the PA and drawn fire from the international community.If the report is accurate, the approval Alalu is talking about is probably another phase in the lengthy bureaucratic process that accompanies the construction of homes in Israel.The approval of the same 942 homes in Gilo was already announced over two years ago, when it was reported that Gilo “will expand to the east and south, gaining 942 new housing units, thanks to a committee decision Monday in Jerusalem.”“A zoning decision by the city's Building and Planning Committee may allow an additional 300 housing units in the future as well,” Arutz Sheva reported in April of 2011. “The land where the units are to be built is owned by the Jewish National Fund (JNF) and private individuals, according to media reports.”

Iron Dome Intercepts Rocket Fired Towards Eilat

At least one rocket was fired towards the Israeli resort city of Eilat and was intercepted by Iron Dome.

Eilat
Eilat-Flash 90
At least one rocket was fired towards the Israeli resort city of Eilat on Monday night.
Sirens were heard throughout the city shortly before 1:00 a.m. Local residents reported hearing explosions following the sirens.
The Iron Dome anti-missile system, which was just recently deployed near Eilat, reportedly intercepted the rocket before it could explode in a populated area.There were no reports of damages, but three people suffered shock. Two of them were treated by paramedics and the third was taken to the Yoseftal Hospital in the city.The IDF and the police are searching the area to determine whether any rockets exploded inside the city, but so far have not located any remains of rockets.Last week, Israeli authorities shut down Eilat's airport for several hours over unspecified security concerns. An Egyptian source later said that the airport has been shut because Egypt sent a warning about an attack originating in the Sinai.The Iron Dome battery was placed near Eilat in July, after several rockets had been fired at Israel's southernmost city from the restive Sinai.
A few weeks earlier, Israeli security forces located the remains of a Grad missile that was fired towards Eilat.
A Sinai-based jihadist group had “taken credit” for that attack, claiming it fired two Grad missiles towards the city and claimed that the missiles had "frightened Allah's Jewish enemies" and made them run for shelter.

Future soldiers and families join summer of ‘record’ immigration

Over 300 immigrants land in Israel Tuesday, including 125 new IDF recruits, as organization celebrates 50th charter flight from North America

The Israel Defense Forces gained 125 new recruits Tuesday as over 300 immigrants from North America landed in Israel, part of a charter flight organized by the Nefesh B’Nefesh organization.The 125 soldiers-to-be, ranging in ages from 18 to 22, were among 331 new immigrants aboard the flight, the 50th charter journey for Nefesh B’Nefesh since the group was founded 11 years ago.“If I could I would hug and kiss each and every one of you,” said Yehuda Sharf, the Jewish Agency’s director of Aliyah, or Jewish immigration, speaking to the future soldiers in Hebrew before the flight from New York City.The 125 future soldiers fell just shy of the 127 new recruits who came aboard one flight exactly one year ago.Nefesh B’nefesh touted this year’s crop of future soldiers as part of a ”record” number of recruits moving to Israel from North American this summer. The group considers anyone who arrives with the intention of joining the army as a recruit, according to a Nefesh B’Nefesh official.

(Full disclosure: This reporter, along with other members of the press, was flown to New York and back to Israel by Nefesh B’Nefesh, a major Times of Israel advertiser. In 2007, he received a grant of several thousand dollars and other help from the group upon immigrating to Israel. Nefesh B’Nefesh made no requests from the Times of Israel regarding coverage of the flight.)
The International Terminal at John F. Kennedy Airport on Monday was a testament to the fact that American Jews, most of them young, are still leaving the US for the Jewish State, with hordes of families surrounding olive-green-T-shirt-clad teens readying to make the journey.“It was a no-brainer,” said Stephanie Nelson, 19, standing with her mother, father, brother and boyfriend at a ceremony. “I felt this was an obligation for me.”Nelson, who lived in Closter, New Jersey, before making the trip, said she had been planning to immigrate to Israel since a trip there in the eighth grade, a fact that helped inure her family to the idea in the intervening years.

“We’re very proud of her,” said her mother, Amy Nelson, though she admitted to some trepidation at her daughter leaving the coop to fight abroad. “I’ll miss her. It feels like yesterday she wasn’t allowed to cross the street.”Nelson, along with most of the other future soldiers, immigrated as part of the Garin Tzabar program, which brings and inducts young immigrants into Israel’s armed forces. The program, an offshoot of the Israeli Scouts youth group, houses participants in groups on kibbutzim before they join the army, giving them specialized Hebrew instruction, pre-army training and additional support.Many participants in the Garin Tzabar program began meeting with cohorts from their region several months before the flight, part of a series of preparatory group-building seminars to ready the new recruits for military life in their new homes.
While other immigrants were spending the last moments with their stateside families, Noam Harari, 18, and Tevel Aroussi, 18, sat together on the terminal floor. The two, both from Southern California, met at one of the pre-immigration seminars and are now both hoping to get into a combat unit.

“I have no clue what it’s going to be like, but all I’ve heard is that it’s going to be the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life,” said Harari, whose father and uncles served in the IDF before him.
The head of the Israeli Scouts, Eli Ben Yosef, said in a statement that 70 percent of graduates of the Garin Tzabar program stay in Israel when their service is done, but an informal survey of the new immigrants found many unsure if they would stay after ending their service.“I would rather raise my kids here,” Harari said, referring to the US.A ceremony upon landing at Ben-Gurion airport was attended by over 1,000 well-wishers, singing and dancing as they escorted the new arrivals into the old Terminal 1. Among dignitaries at the event were Absorption Minister Sofa Landver and Interior Minister Gideon Sa’ar.“Today you took the biggest and most important decision you could ever take, to immigrate to Israel and build your home in the home of Jewish people,” Sa’ar said, calling the immigrants the “core of Zionism.”“You are making the Jewish nation and the State of Israel stronger. You are making the IDF stronger,” he said.Future soldiers got the bulk of the attention, but the lion’s share of the flight was made up of families and others moving to Israel, including Todd Nye, 51, who along with his wife Sandra, donned a shirt sporting pictures of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Theodor Herzl, and the name of the city they will now be calling home, Modiin.

While the couple’s two teenage sons gave off an air of cool unaffectedness, the Nyes, originally from Bartlett, Illinois, had a hard time concealing their joy at moving to Israel after years of planning, even though they were fully aware of the country’s economic, social and other woes.“Hashem has been preparing us for this for years. We’ve always worked hard in our jobs and we are willing to adjust,” Todd Nye said, using a Jewish name for God. “We’re proud to be going to be with our people. We’re proud to be in our land.”

Poll shows Palestinians evenly split on support for talks

Youth survey reveals backing slightly higher in Gaza than in West Bank; one in three think armed conflict best means to ‘end occupation’

August 13, 2013, 8:44 am 0-The Times of Israel
The poll found that support for a return to negotiations was slightly higher among Gaza youth compared to those who live in the West Bank (48% and 45% respectively.)More than half of those asked (52%) said they oppose a two-state solution that includes East Jerusalem, with 45% saying they are in favor of such a deal.
When asked what approach they preferred to bring about the “end of the occupation,” 62% of respondents chose peaceful methods and 31 chose armed conflict. A further breakdown of the numbers revealed that of those who supported a peaceful end to the conflict, 25% chose direct negotiations, 20% chose a nonviolent popular uprising and 17% chose an international conference imposing a solution on both parties.In the internal Palestinian competition between Fatah and Hamas, Fatah’s approach to resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was more popular among youth (31%) than the Hamas approach of armed resistance (20%). However, most respondents (44%) said neither of the two was preferred. When asked who they would vote for if elections were held now, 45% selected Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and 23% selected Hamas’s Gaza Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh.US Secretary of State John Kerry tried to ease tensions following Israeli announcements of new construction works approved for the West Bank and East Jerusalem on Monday.Kerry said at a news conference Monday in Bogota that he has talked about the announcements with the top Israeli negotiator.Kerry said the US government views the settlements as illegitimate. He added that criticism on the Palestinian side shows the need to get negotiations going quickly.
“I think that what this underscores, actually, is the importance of getting to the table and getting to the table quickly and resolving the questions with respect to settlements, which are best resolved by solving the problems of security and borders,” Kerry said. “Once you have security and borders solved, you have resolved the question of settlements.”Kerry urged both parties not to react adversely or to provoke the other side, but to move forward quietly, carefully and deliberately to negotiate the major issues.“With the negotiation of major issues, these kind of hotpoint issues … are eliminated as the kind of flashpoints that they may be viewed today,” he said.Israel on Monday began processing the 26 Palestinian prisoners set to be released in the first phase of a confidence-building measure meant to help restart peace negotiations with the Palestinian Authority.The prisoners, convicted terrorists, have been transferred to Ayalon Prison in Ramle and have begun a process of identification, medical exams, exit interviews with prison staff and discussions with the Red Cross.Yoel Goldman and AP contributed to this report.

Kerry still hopeful on Mideast peace talks

Top US diplomat say settlements are illegitimate, but newly announced plans to build won’t derail negotiations

August 13, 2013, 2:14 am 0-The times of Israel
Kerry said at a news conference Monday in Bogota that he has talked about the announcements with the top Israeli negotiator. He is also trying to reach Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is recovering from hernia surgery.A State Department spokeswoman in Washington, Marie Harf, said that the US had expressed its “serious concerns” about the announcement Sunday that Israel had approved building nearly 1,200 more settlement homes Sunday — the third in a week. It fueled Palestinian fears of a new Israeli construction spurt under the cover of US-sponsored negotiations.Top US negotiator Martin Indyk has arrived in the region for talks that begin on Wednesday. Palestinian officials already have complained about the settlement announcement, even as Israel released more than 100 Palestinian convicts as part of the deal to resume peace talks.Kerry said the US government views the settlements as illegitimate. He added that criticism on the Palestinian side shows the need to get negotiations going quickly.“I think that what this underscores, actually, is the importance of getting to the table and getting to the table quickly and resolving the questions with respect to settlements, which are best resolved by solving the problems of security and borders,” Kerry said. “Once you have security and borders solved, you have resolved the question of settlements.”Kerry urged both parties not to react adversely or to provoke either side, but to move forward quietly, carefully and deliberately to negotiate the major issues.“With the negotiation of major issues, these kind of hotpoint issues … are eliminated as the kind of flashpoints that they may be viewed today,” he said.
Kerry, on his first trip to Colombia as secretary of state, met Monday with Colombian officials negotiating with the nation’s largest guerrilla army to find peace in the South American country for the first time since 1964.Kerry is visiting Colombia and Brazil this week in an attempt to build warmer relations with two US allies in Latin America. But the visits may be hindered by resentment after reports about an American spy program that widely targeted data in emails and telephone calls across the region.Disclosures by National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden could chill talks on several fronts. Those include trade, energy, counternarcotics, and discussions about the Oct. 23 state dinner that President Barack Obama is hosting for Brazil’s president, Dilma Rousseff.Kerry on Monday defended the NSA surveillance program targeting Latin America and downplayed its impact on efforts to deepen relations with the region. Brazil and Colombia, two of the United States’ closest allies in the region, have been rankled by reports of the spying program.Kerry sought to play down the rift during a news conference in Bogota, the Colombian capital, saying the US and Colombia work cooperatively on a huge number of issues and that the NSA surveillance figured only briefly in his talks with Colombian officials.Kerry arrived late Sunday in Bogota at a time when the country is holding peace talks to end a half century-old conflict with the Western Hemisphere’s most potent rebel army, a rebel force diminished in strength thanks in considerable measure to US military and intelligence support.
Kerry met Monday with Colombia’s president, Juan Manuel Santos.Santos said last week that he wanted clarification from Washington on whether US intelligence-gathering in Colombia had overstepped the countries’ joint operations against drug traffickers and illegal armed groups. The United States has supplied Colombia with eavesdropping equipment, technicians and aerial surveillance.Santos said in an interview with The Associated Press that Vice President Joe Biden called him about the issue following revelations by Snowden that US digital snooping has targeted allies as well as foes. Santos said Biden offered a series of technical explanations. Asked if he was satisfied with them, Santos replied, “We are in that process.”
Biden also called Rousseff to express what Brazil’s communications minister, Helena Chagas, said was “his regret over the negative repercussions caused by the disclosures.” Biden invited Brazilian officials to Washington to get details about the spy program.Rousseff told Biden that the privacy of Brazilian citizens and the country’s sovereignty cannot be infringed upon in the name of security, and that Brazil wanted the United States to change its security policies and practices.Brazil’s O Globo newspaper reported last month that citizens of Colombia, Mexico, Brazil and other countries were among the targets of a massive NSA operation to secretly gather information about phone calls and Internet communications worldwide. The reports were based on information provided by Snowden.Last week, Brazil’s Foreign Minister Antonio Patriota was at the United Nations with counterparts from other South American nations to express their indignation about the spy program to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.The Obama administration has worked to forge stronger ties with Latin America. In May, Obama took a three-day trip to Mexico and Costa Rica. Biden has visited Colombia and Brazil, where he said stronger trade ties and closer cooperation in education, science and other fields should usher in a new era of US-Brazil relations this year.Brazil has received much attention in recent months because of Pope Francis’ visit and preparations for the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympics to be held in Rio de Janeiro.
