Netanyahu on Israel: 'We've Defied the Laws of History'

As the eve of Rosh Hashanah approaches, Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu wishes Jewish communities throughout the world security, prosperity and most of all peace.Netanyahu reflects upon the all of the achievements of the past year: the launching of the Amos 4 communication satellite, sustainable economic growth, receiving gold medals at the computer and science Olympics, and top tier students in the field of science."I am proud to serve as Prime Minister of Israel," Netanyahu said with a smile."We remain an oasis of democracy, of stability, of tolerance, and liberty," he said, comparing Israel to the turbulent countries in the Middle East.One major point that Netanyahu emphasized was that "Iran's nuclear program must be stopped" since it poses as a major threat to the region of Israel and the peace of the world. However, Netanyahu calmed the fears of any potential threat to Israel when he spoke to his cabinet on Sunday saying, "our enemies have very good reasons not to try our strength, not to test our power," he said. "They know why."
Netanyahu concluded to say how the State of Israel has "defied the laws of history against some tremendous odds" and that now, Israel is such a thriving, bustling, modern, advanced country.

Senate Committee May Vote Wednesday on Syria Strike

Senators reportedly reach an agreement on a resolution for military force in Syria. Vote expected Wednesday.-By Elad Benari-First Publish: 9/4/2013, 3:45 AM-Israelnationalnews

Democratic Senator Robert Menendez, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said on Tuesday evening he hoped a resolution on the use of U.S. military force in Syria would be ready by the end the day.

Speaking after a three-and-a-half hour hearing on Syria, Menendez said it was likely the panel could vote on the resolution on Wednesday.Menendez said the text would be crafted in a way that would ensure the intervention is not an open-ended engagement and that “specifically not with boots on the ground, American troops on the ground."Congressional aides told the Associated Press that Menendez and Sen. Bob Corker, the panel's top Republican, have reached an agreement on the resolution.The resolution would limit the duration of any U.S. military action in response to the Syrian government's suspected use of chemical weapons on its people. It also would specifically bar U.S. ground troops from Syria, the aides told the news agency.Among other provisions, the draft, according to the Reuters news agency, sets a 60-day limit on military action in Syria, with a possibility for a single 30-day extension subject to conditions.During Tuesday’s hearing, top officials in the Obama administration - Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, Secretary of State John Kerry and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Martin Dempsey - tried to secure support for the president’s proposal to strike in Syria.Dempsey told the committee members that he had not been asked to change the momentum in the Syrian conflict, but instead develop options to degrade Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad's military capabilities."I have never been told to change the momentum. I have been told to degrade capability," he stressed.The top U.S. military officer also said that Russia may hike its military assistance to Syria should the United States strike, but said that was not a reason in his view to hesitate to act."There is some indication that they (the Russians) have assured the regime that if we destroy something, they can replace it," said Dempsey.Hagel warned at the hearing that failure to take action over Syria's use of chemical weapons would damage the credibility of America's pledge to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon."A refusal to act would undermine the credibility of America's other security commitments - including the president's commitment to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon," he said, adding, "The word of the United States must mean something.”"There are always risks in taking action, but there are also risks with inaction. The Assad regime, under increasing pressure by the Syrian opposition, could feel empowered to carry out even more devastating chemical weapons attacks. Chemical weapons make no distinction between combatants and innocent civilians, and inflict the worst kind of indiscriminate suffering, as we have recently seen,” said Hagel.Kerry clarified that President Barack Obama was neither proposing nor leaving the door open to putting troops on the ground in Syria.He added that failing to strike Syria in response to a chemical weapons attack would open a "Pandora's box" of "dangerous consequences," leaving U.S. allies questioning the worth of America's word and U.S. enemies itching to test America's resolve.

On Sunday, Kerry said that the administration had new evidence that sarin gas was used in the chemical attack."We know that the regime ordered this attack," he said. "We know they prepared for it. We know where the rockets came from. We know where they landed. We know the damage that was done afterwards."Intelligence reports by other countries, such as France and Germany, have also determined that the Assad regime was behind the chemical attack on August 21. Germany has ruled out taking part in a strike in Syria, but French President Francois Hollande has expressed support.Earlier Tuesday, the Obama administration won support for a strike on Syria from top congressional leaders, including House Speaker John Boehner.Boehner, emerging from a White House meeting, said the chemical weapons attack last month "has to be responded to.”Minutes later, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi told reporters that she, too, feels Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad has "crossed a line."House Republican Leader Eric Cantor said definitively that he plans to vote in favor of giving Obama authorization to use military force.

Senate resolution sets deadline, bars ground forces in Syria

Kerry tells congressional committee that Netanyahu can deal with an attack on Israel; Dempsey says Russia may boost aid to Assad if US strikes

By Times of Israel staff and AP September 4, 2013, 4:05 am 0-The Times of Israel

WASHINGTON — The Senate resolution authorizing President Barack Obama to use military force against Syria would bar American ground troops for combat operations and set a deadline for any action.The Associated Press obtained a copy of the draft resolution that the Foreign Relations Committee will vote on Wednesday.The measure would set a time limit of 60 days and says the president can extend that for 30 days more unless Congress has a vote of disapproval.Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez, chairman of the committee, and Sen. Bob Corker, the top Republican, agreed on the measure late Tuesday.At a committee hearing earlier in the day, Secretary of State John Kerry, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey provided extensive testimony on the Obama administrations plans and intentions regarding a strike against the Bashar Assad regime.Kerry had signaled earlier that the troop restriction was acceptable to the administration. “There’s no problem in our having the language that has zero capacity for American troops on the ground,” he said.“President Obama is not asking America to go to war,” Kerry said in a strongly worded opening statement. He added, “This is not the time for armchair isolationism. This is not the time to be spectators to slaughter.”Obama said on Tuesday that he was open to revisions in the relatively broad request the White House made over the weekend. He expressed confidence Congress would respond to his call for support and said Assad’s action “poses a serious national security threat to the United States and to the region.”The administration says 1,429 died from the attack on Aug. 21 in a Damascus suburb. Casualty estimates by other groups are far lower, and Assad’s government blames the episode on rebels who have been seeking to overthrow his government in a civil war that began over two years ago. A United Nations inspection team is awaiting lab results on tissue and soil samples it collected while in the country before completing a closely watched report.Kerry said at the hearing that he spoke Tuesday with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who assured the top US diplomat that he was certain Israel could deal with any misguided attack from the Assad regime.Dempsey told senators at the hearing that Russia may boost its military assistance to Syria if the US were to attack.“There is some indication that they [the Russians] have assured the regime that if we destroy something, they can replace it,” Dempsey said.

Meanwhile, a few hundred miles away, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon urged caution. He said any punitive action against Syria could unleash more turmoil and bloodshed, and he advised that such strikes would be legal only in self-defense under the UN Charter or if approved by the organization’s Security Council. Russia and China have repeatedly used their veto power in the council to block action against Assad.In the Middle East, Israel and the US conducted a joint missile test over the Mediterranean in a display of military might in the region.Obama set the fast-paced events in motion on Saturday, when he unexpectedly stepped back from ordering a military strike under his own authority and announced he would seek congressional approval.Recent presidents have all claimed the authority to undertake limited military action without congressional backing. Some have followed up with such action.Obama said he, too, believes he has that authority, and House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi said during the day that even Congress’ refusal to authorize the president wouldn’t negate the power of the commander in chief.Still, the president also has stated that the United States will be stronger if lawmakers grant their support. But neither Obama nor his aides has been willing to state what options would be left to him should Congress reject his call. 

Jewish organizations in US support Syria strike

‘Barbarism on a mass scale must not be given a free pass,’ says AIPAC; ADL cites ‘moral and national security grounds’ for attack

By JTA and Times of Israel staff September 4, 2013, 12:45 am 4-The Times of Israel

An array of Jewish organizations is set to endorse US President Barack Obama’s call for military strikes against Syria, although the degree of support is not yet clear.Several organizations — including the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, the Zionist Organization of America, Americans for Peace Now and the Anti-Defamation League — will participate in a conference call on Syria with administration officials on Tuesday afternoon. The call is being organized by the Presidents Conference.“AIPAC urges Congress to grant the President the authority he has requested to protect America’s national security interests and dissuade the Syrian regime’s further use of unconventional weapons,” the pro-Israel lobby said in a statement before the call. “The civilized world cannot tolerate the use of these barbaric weapons, particularly against an innocent civilian population including hundreds of children.”“Simply put, barbarism on a mass scale must not be given a free pass,” it said, referring to a suspected chemical weapons attack last month by Syrian President Bashar Assad’s government. The attack near Damascus killed an estimated 1,400 people, including 400 children.

According to the statement, “This is a critical moment when America must also send a forceful message of resolve to Iran and Hezbollah — both of whom have provided direct and extensive military support to Assad. The Syrian regime and its Iranian ally have repeatedly demonstrated that they will not respect civilized norms. That is why America must act, and why we must prevent further proliferation of unconventional weapons in this region.”Following the call, the Presidents Conference will convene its own conference call to shape a statement, Malcolm Hoenlein, the foreign policy umbrella body’s executive vice president, said. Hoenlein also confirmed that the statement would support Obama’s call to action, but he could not say to what extent.Others predicted wholehearted endorsement.“I would predict that the overwhelming majority of the American Jewish community will support the president’s decision on moral grounds and national security grounds,” Abraham Foxman, the ADL’s national director, told JTA.“It’s hard to imagine there’s a rabbi alive who has a High Holiday service who is not going to talk about Syria,” said one Jewish official who often brokers relations between the White House and the Jewish community.Until Obama declared over the weekend that he was ready to strike, however, Jewish groups had been reluctant to weigh in on American intervention, in part because of the hangover from unwarranted attacks in the last decade blaming Jewish lobbying for the Iraq War. Foxman said such hesitations were obviated by Obama’s explicit call for a strike.

“The president has made his decision and we’re not ahead of it,” Foxman said. “He’s not doing this for Israel. This may have serious ramifications for Israel which are negative.”Obama on Tuesday met with top congressional officials and called on them to support limited strikes on Syria to degrade its chemical weapons capability.“This is a limited, proportional step that will send a clear message not only to the Assad regime, but also to other countries that may be interested in testing some of these international norms, that there are consequences,” Obama said before the meeting.As he has done repeatedly since first indicating his intention to strike Syria, Obama cited the potential threat to Israel, among other American allies, as one of his concerns.“This norm against using chemical weapons that 98 percent of the world agrees to is there for a reason,” he said. “Because we recognize that there are certain weapons that when used cannot only end up resulting in grotesque deaths, but also can end up being transmitted to non-state actors; can pose a risk to allies and friends of ours like Israel, like Jordan, like Turkey; and unless we hold them into account, also sends a message that international norms around issues like nuclear proliferation don’t mean much.”

Ban: Any Syria strike must get Security Council OK

Secretary general says attack on sovereign nation may only be initiated as act of self-defense

By Peter James Spielmann September 3, 2013, 10:59 pm 2-The Times Of Israel

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Tuesday warned that any “punitive” action taken against Syria for an alleged chemical weapons attack last month would be illegal without Security Council approval or a sound case for self-defense.The US and France have blamed Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime for the alleged Aug. 21 attack and are considering military action in response. Such a strike would almost certainly occur without the approval of the Security Council, where Russia and China have consistently used their veto power to block action against Assad’s regime. The Obama administration argues that a chemical weapons attack cannot go unpunished because of the council’s inaction.“As I have repeatedly said, the Security Council has primary responsibility for international peace and security,” Ban said at a news conference. “The use of force is lawful only when in exercise of self-defense in accordance with article 51 of the United Nations Charter and or when the Security Council approves such action.He also warned that a military strike against Syria could unleash more turmoil and bloodshed in a crisis that has already killed more than 100,000 people.“I take note of the argument for action to prevent a future use of chemical weapons. At the same time, we must consider the impact of any punitive measure on efforts to prevent further bloodshed and facilitate the political resolution of the conflict,” Ban said.President Barack Obama received key support from leaders in Congress on Tuesday for a potential strike.Ban did not blame any party for the alleged attack on a Damascus suburb, saying that “If confirmed, any use of chemical weapons by anyone under any circumstances will be a serious violation of international law and an outrageous war crime.”“Whatever the source, this latest allegation should be as wakeup call for the international community,” Ban said.He stressed that an ongoing investigation by UN chemical weapons experts “is uniquely placed to independently establish the facts in an objective and impartial manner.”The US government has said it has “high confidence” that there was a gas attack and it was launched by the Syrian government. US officials have also questioned the ability of the UN team to properly investigate, saying the inspectors faced too many delays getting on the ground and only have a mandate to determine whether chemical weapons were used in the attack — not who was responsible.

Ban said biological samples collected by the inspectors will arrive in European labs for testing by Wednesday.

Syria said to be hiding troops and moving weapons

Damascus braces for US strike, threatens widespread regional war

By RYAN LUCAS September 3, 2013, 10:22 pm 0-The Times of Israel

BEIRUT (AP) — As the Obama administration tries to prod Congress into backing armed action against Syria, the regime in Damascus is hiding military hardware and shifting troops out of bases into civilian areas.

Politically, President Bashar Assad has gone on the offensive, warning in a rare interview with Western media that any military action against Syria could spark a regional war.If the US undertakes missile strikes, Assad’s reaction could have a major effect on the trajectory of Syria’s civil war. Neighboring countries could get dragged into a wider conflict, or it could be back to business as usual for a crisis that has claimed the lives of more than 100,000 people over 2½ years.The main Western-backed opposition group says that during the buildup last week to what seemed like an imminent US attack, the army moved troops as well as rocket launchers, artillery and other heavy weapons into residential neighborhoods in cities nationwide. Three Damascus residents, speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals, confirmed such movements.

One man said two members of the elite Republican Guards broke into an empty house he owns and showed him an official document stating they were authorized to do so because Syria is at war. A woman in another area said soldiers moved into a school next to her house.A US official confirmed there are indications that the Syrian regime is taking steps to move some of its military equipment and bolster protection for defense facilities.The official, who was not authorized to discuss intelligence matters and spoke on condition of anonymity, said that at this point, the US has the information it needs to maintain a good handle on what the regime is doing to prepare.The trend inside Syria is likely to continue in the coming days now that the regime has won a reprieve with President Barack Obama’s decision to seek congressional approval for military action.“The Syrian regime knows there are 30-40 potential targets for US airstrikes, and they have had ample time to prepare,” said Hisham Jaber, a retired Lebanese army general and director of the Middle East Center for Studies and Political Research in Beirut. “Half of them, if not more, have been evacuated, moved or camouflaged. This is the natural thing to do.”Obama said last week that he believes the US should strike Syria for what the administration says was a deadly chemical weapons attack by Assad’s forces on rebel-held suburbs of Damascus. The administration has stressed, however, that any operation would be limited and not aimed at tipping the balance of power in Syria’s civil war.In an interview published Monday with the French newspaper Le Figaro, Assad refused to say how Syria would respond to Western strikes, but warned that “the risk of a regional war exists.”The regime has a range of options if the US does bomb. It could retaliate with rockets against US allies in the region. It could unleash allies like Hezbollah against Western targets abroad. Or it could do nothing — and score propaganda points by portraying itself as victim of US aggression.The regime’s choice, analysts say, will probably depend on the magnitude of the American military action: The bigger and more sustained the strikes, the more likely the government in Damascus will feel compelled to respond.If Washington follows through with calibrated strikes, analysts say, Assad may reach for a political card, not a military one.“His first option is propaganda value,” said Salman Shaikh, director of the Brookings Doha Center. Assad could try to foster the notion “that the West is again attacking a Middle Eastern state, an Arab state, without the right international legitimacy. And he can bolster that dynamic, that narrative, by showing that it’s had a cost on innocent civilians.”One way to achieve that would be to show the world images of civilians purportedly killed by American strikes.“If he’s able to score points from this, he will feel that he’s actually won without actually engaging in a military response,” Shaikh said.

Assad charted a similar course after Israeli airstrikes in May that targeted advanced weapons destined for Lebanon’s Shiite militant group Hezbollah. His regime portrayed the attacks as proof of the rebels’ collusion with Israel, denounced the strikes as a violation of Syrian sovereignty and dispatched an obscure militant group to threaten retaliation.In terms of military responses, Assad could launch rockets at US allies Turkey, Jordan or Israel. But that could touch off a prolonged military engagement with an outside power at a time when the regime is already in a bloody fight for its survival.An attack against NATO-member Turkey could trigger a response from the entire military alliance, while Jordan hosts about a dozen US F-16 jets, a Patriot missile battery and around 1,000 American troops.As for Israel, the Assad regime could launch rockets at the Jewish state, or turn to Hezbollah to do so. The militant group, which fought Israel to a standstill in a 34-day war in 2006, is believed to have a well-stocked arsenal of missiles capable of hitting the country’s major cities.But analysts say Syria is unlikely to pursue such a course unless the US strikes pose an immediate threat to Assad’s grip on power.Hezbollah would have a lot to lose. The group is already facing flak at home for fighting alongside Syrian government troops against the rebels. A full-on confrontation with Israel on behalf of Syria would probably be a tough sell to its Shiite constituents at home, let alone the broader Lebanese public.“I can’t see a situation whereby they would accept an order from Assad to, say, attack Israel or attack some domestic enemies. I think that would be too damaging for their position,” said Chris Phillips, a Syria specialist at Queen Mary University in London.Israeli defense officials also say the odds of retaliation by Syria or Hezbollah are very low. Still, Israel has deployed Iron Dome anti-missile batteries in the Tel Aviv area and toward its northern frontier with Syria.Between these two extremes lies a middle path for Assad, which would involve an attack such as a car bombing carried out by a sympathetic militant group.“Something to indicate to the outside world that it’s dangerous to mess with the Assad regime, that they have levers that can cause damage elsewhere, while also plausibly denying that they’ve had direct impact,” Phillips said.As an example, Phillips pointed to a double car bombing earlier this year in Turkey that killed more than 50 people. Turkey blames Syria, while Syria denies any role.

Ariel Sharon undergoes surgical procedure

Former PM, in a coma since 2006, is returned to rehabilitation department at Sheba Medical Center

By Yoel Goldman September 4, 2013, 2:06 am 0-The Times of ISRAEL

Former prime minister Ariel Sharon, who has been in a vegetative state since 2006, underwent a scheduled surgical procedure Tuesday at the Sheba Medical Center in Ramat Gan.The operation reinstalled a feeding tube in Sharon’s digestive system. It proceeded without incident and the former prime minister was returned to the hospital’s Department of Respiratory Care and Rehabilitation, where he has been treated in recent years.Sharon, 85, was prime minister from 2001 until suffering a second stroke that left him comatose in 2006. In 2005, he initiated and carried out the disengagement from the Gaza Strip, ordering the removal of all Israelis from the area.

ST JACOBS MARKET BEFORE FIRE

LOOK: St Jacobs Farmer's Market vows to spring back after fire

Posted By: Newstalk 1010 · 9/2/2013 2:41:00 PM

The community of St. Jacobs has been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support it has received since losing the village's popular farmer's market.Fire crews were called early Monday morning to a major blaze at the two-storey, 24,000 sq ft building that houses around 60 vendors.Woolwich Township Deputy Fire Chief Dale Martin says the fire gutted the complex's main building. But the market's outdoor section could be open by Thursday.The building is a total loss, only charred bits of the frame remaining.The building's wooden construction, fabrics and other materials sold by vendors, fuelled the blaze, which took 40 firefighters three hours to put out.The market had a new fire alarm system but wasn't equipped with sprinklers.No one was hurt in the fire, and the winds kept it away from a nearby livestock area. It isn't clear what sparked the blaze, though local police and the Ontario Fire Marshal are investigating.Martin expects the damage will total around $2-million.Woolwich Township Mayor Todd Cowan says the municipality will do what it can to get the market open again."This is a devastating loss for St. Jacobs, the Township of Woolwich, the region and the agricultural community", Cowan said in a statement.The president of the company that owns the market says the community is in shock. "It's overwhelming," Marcus Shantz, tells Newstalk 1010. "It's really humbling and it puts it in perspective because it's not just our building but something the whole community has taken ownership of."The market posted this statement on its facebook page:
We lost the main food building at the Market to a fire early Labour Day morning. Thanks to all the firefighters who came out to help us. They did a great job in making sure the fire didn’t spread to other buildings on the property. We are very grateful that no one was hurt.Our hearts go out to all of the great vendors in that building. Many of them were there since the building opened back in the late 1980’s. There is a long road ahead, but we will build a new home for your businesses.
We have a huge outdoor market, and another indoor food and flea market building, and our hope is to keep it open this week. At this very early stage, we can’t give a definite answer on that, but please stay tuned for further updates.A big THANK YOU to everyone who has reached out to us this morning. We have always said that the market is not the buildings. It’s the people – the vendors, customers, the whole community. We’re very humbled by the sense of ownership and pride that so many people have for this market. We will bring it back!

Premier Kathleen took to Twitter to thank firefighters who battled the blaze and express her regrets at the loss of the market."The destruction of the St. Jacobs Farmers' Market is a terrible loss to the Waterloo region. St. Jacobs played such an important role in the community and contributed greatly to the local economy."(with files from the Canadian Press & Justine Lewkowicz)

You Can't be an Occupier in Your Own Home'

In candid TV interview, Bayit Yehudi head says the lesson from world inaction on Syria is that Israel can only trust G-d and its own might.-By Gil Ronen-First Publish: 9/3/2013, 11:02 AM-Israelnationalnews

Economy Minister Naftali Bennett (Bayit Yehudi) reassured the public on Monday that in his opinion, the citizens of Israel will not come under any attack from Syria, and explained why he is firmly against the establishment of a "Palestinian State" in Judea and Samaria.Speaking on the Knesset Channel, he said that Israelis could go on living their lives' normally and even noted, when asked, that his family has not renewed its supply of gas masks yet.Asked if he was disappointed by US President Barack Obama's decision to hold off on attacking Syria until Congress debates the idea, he said that he does not want to give advice to the US President. He added, however, that "Israeli citizens have to be realistic and know that at the end of the day, 'If I am not for myself – who will be for me?' [a Talmudic adage in favor of self-reliance – ed.]. If we do not take care of our own security, no one else will. Look at how the entire world is reacting to the murder of 1,000 children with gas."“All things told,” he said, “the world is stuttering. And on the day of truth we can only depend on ourselves. Not international guarantees, no relying on agreements – in the end, our strength, which comes from our hold upon the Land and our belief in the Land, [and] the IDF where I still serve in the reserves and am proud of it – that is what will keep us alive here.”"We have to look at what is happening and internalize the lessons,” he explained. “In the moment of truth, the world will not be with us. The people who now want to hand over Judea and Samaria in exchange for guarantees from the world, should see what is happening. The world turns its back.”Similar comments have been made by a number of Israeli politicians in the past few days, as the perceived dithering of the Obama administration is watched carefully by friend and foe alike, splitting Arab opinion and provoking ridicule from the Syrian regime and its allies.Asked whom we can trust, Bennett said – “first of all, we have G-d, but also our own strength. We will not depend on the world anymore. We will not! Seventy years ago, when we hoped that the world would be there, they were not. No one was," he said, in a reference to the failure by the Allies to bomb Nazi extermination camps during the Holocaust.
"We are not occupiers"
In a wide-ranging 30-minute interview with Nehama Duek, Bennett firmly rebuffed her contention that Israel is an occupying power in Judea and Samaria.“We are not occupiers. You cannot be an occupier in your own home. Internalize this, Nehama. We are not controlling them, they have been ruling themselves for a long time.”“In Lebanon, in Syria, in Egypt, everything is in chaos. The only stable place is here, in our land. We have stability and quiet thanks to the IDF, from the fact that we are present in Judea and Samaria and that we live there. The same geniuses who told us that if we give Syria the Golan Heights we will have peace, are now telling us that we have to hand over Judea and Samaria. I don't accept this."When Bennett described his proposal for applying Israeli sovereignty on parts of Judea and Samaria – Duek protested that the Palestinians want a state.“Okay,” he said. “And I want to live. What takes precedence? My will to live? My wanting that my four children survive – or their will to have a state and an army that will annihilate me? What can I do? Even though they'd really love to annihilate me, they have no partner in this. I have this bug in my system – I love to live in my country."During the interview, Bennett spoke about national unity, saying that part of his political mission is to unite different streams in the nation, and “to lower tensions.”On August 22, Bennett had a similar message for the public regarding the Syria gas attack: “Seventy years ago, when they annihilated children and babies, the world was silent,” he wrote. “The internet and television stations are not moving the world out of its complacency. Images of mass graves and piles of children cannot pass in silence.”
"A child is a child is a child,” he stated. “And don't tell me '[it's just] Arabs killing Arabs.' I will not be silent.”

Israelis and Palestinians meet for fresh round of talks

No agreement yet on final status issues, and no official statements on what each side is offering

By Stuart Winer September 3, 2013, 11:57 am 0-The times of Israel

Israeli and Palestinian negotiators met Tuesday in the latest round of talks to hammer out a peace agreement.

An unnamed Palestinian official said Justice Minister Tzipi Livni and Chief Palestinian Negotiator Saeb Erekat attended the meeting, the Ma’an news agency reported. The official added that both sides presented their view on final status issues but noted that no agreement has yet been reached. It was the fifth meeting between the two sides since negotiations resumed in July.The Prime Minister’s Office declined to comment on the report or confirm if the meeting indeed took place.On Sunday Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas reportedly told Fatah officials that the Palestinians were maintaining their demand that East Jerusalem be the capital of a future Palestinian state, a condition he called a “red line.”In their negotiations over the past month or so, Israel has presented its overall position on the core issues and the Palestinians are preparing a response, an Israel Radio report quoted Abbas as saying. The talks have reached a “review of positions,” he said, without elaboration.Israeli and Palestinian negotiators have been tight-lipped about the talks, refusing even to disclose when and where they are held.On Sunday US State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki revealed that US Special Envoy to the peace talks Martin Indyk was present at one of the negotiation meetings.“The negotiations have been serious, and US Special Envoy Martin Indyk and his team have been fully briefed on the bilateral talks and also participated in a bilateral negotiating session,” Psaki added. “As we have said in the past, we are not planning to read out the details of these meetings.”

Russia says ‘ballistic objects’ fired near Syria

Moscow declines comment; news comes days after Russian Defense Ministry deploys spy ship to region amid rising tensions

Two “ballistic objects” were detected being fired at the eastern Mediterranean, Russia’s Defense Ministry said Tuesday.The Interfax news agency quoted the ministry say two “objects” had been fired from the central Mediterranean to the eastern coast of the sea at 10:16 a.m. Moscow time, which is an hour ahead of Israel.

The ministry said it had informed Russian President Vladimir Putin of the launch.The Russian Embassy in Syria said it saw no sign of a missile attack in Damascus, and the Israeli Defense Forces spokesman said the military had no knowledge of a launch, Reuters reported.No other information was available. The Defense Ministry declined comment to Reuters.The news comes as tensions have risen in the region over the possibility of a Western-led strike on Syria.Russia, which backs Syrian President Bashar Assad, on Sunday sent a spy ship to the region, amid a buildup of American naval power off the coast of Syria.

Israel says it carried out joint missile test with US in Mediterranean

Published September 03, 2013

FoxNews.com

Israel has acknowledged conducting a joint missile test with the United States in the Mediterranean Sea on Tuesday, responding to reports that Russian radar had detected a missile launch in the direction of the eastern Mediterranean.The Israeli Defence Ministry confirmed to Reuters that the test was conducted at approximately 9:15 a.m. Israel Daylight Time (2:15 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time) Tuesday, about the same time that Russia's Interfax news agency reported that the launch was detected by a radar station at Armavir, near the Black Sea. Russia's state-owned news agency RIA originally reported Tuesday that radar detected two ballistic 'objects' that were fired from the central Mediterranean Sea. Originally, a spokeswoman for the Israeli military told Reuters that Israel was "not aware of such an event having occurred." However, approximately an hour later, Israel acknowledged testing a so-called "anchor" target missile used in a U.S.-funded anti-missile system. Initial speculation that Syria was the target of the missiles proved premature after the Russian embassy in Damascus reported no explosions or sign of a missile attack in the Syrian capital, according to the Itar-Tass news agency. An RIA source in Damascus reported that the objects fell into the sea.When contacted by the Associated Press, the Defense Ministry would not confirm the original report, but said it would issue a statement soon. In Washington, a Pentagon press officer could not confirm the report, but a U.S. official denied to CBS News that any American ships or planes had launched missiles in the Mediterranean. Reuters also reported that a Syrian security source told a Lebanese TV station that early-warning radar did not detect any missiles landing on Syrian territory.The report is likely to further increase tensions in the region as President Barack Obama is due to arrive in Russia Tuesday for the G20 summit. The U.S. and Russia have clashed over the proper course of action in the wake of a reported chemical attack by forces loyal to Syria President Bashar al-Assad last month. On Monday, Russia Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said the evidence of the attack presented by the U.S. and its allies was "utterly unconvincing."A defense ministry official has also criticized the United States for deploying warships so close to the Syria coast. At least three U.S. ships are already in the eastern Mediterranean, while the USS Nimitz carrier group, which includes four destroyers, has been moved from the Indian Ocean to the Red Sea. In response, Interfax reported on Monday that Russia would be sending a reconnaissance ship to the eastern Mediterranean.The Associated Press and Reuters contributed to this report.

WOULD THAT NOT BE GREAT IF WHEN AMERICA GOES AFTER SYRIA.ISRAEL AND AMERICA SHOULD BOMB IRANS NUCLEAR SITES ALSO.DEFEAT TWO DICTATORS AT ONE TIME.

Report: Iran Thinks Israel is Close to Striking It

Lebanese newspaper says senior Iranian visited Hezbollah leaders and briefed them on this assessment.

By Gil Ronen-First Publish: 9/3/2013, 7:45 AM-Israelnationalnews

Iran believes that Israel is close to stiking its nuclear facilities, according to a report in Lebanese newspaper Al Jumhuriya, cited by Maariv/NRG. According to the report, a senior Iranian official recently visited Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in his hideout in the Dahiya section section of Beirut to discuss this assessment.A senior military source confirmed to the Lebanese newspaper that the meeting had, indeed, taken place, but said that it had not been held inside the Dahiya – a neighborhood controlled by Hezbollah – but outside it.The senior source said that the Iranian official is a military officer and that the meeting was devoted to the military and logistical readiness of Hezbollah for a confrontation with Israel, which, he added, is just “a stone's throw away” from Lebanon.The source added that less than 48 hours after the meeting, 10,000 Hezbollah guerrillas and unspecified “special forces” began extensive military exercises in southern Lebanon and the Bekaa valley. He said that 10,000 men took part in the exercises, which were the largest of their kind ever conducted in that area. He posited that strengthening Hezbollah in the region is also intended to enable the continued flow of weapons from Damascus to the organization, and especially advanced weaponry.The report could be an effort at disinformation and is probably meant to intimidate Israel and hint that Hezbollah – an Iranian proxy force – would fire its missiles at the Jewish state if it attacks Iran. Hezbollah has reportedly promised Lebanon's president, Michel Ayoun, that it would refrain from attacking Israel from Lebanese territory if Israel attacks Syria. It subsequently warned, however, that it would attack Israel from Syrian territory, if Israel strikes Syria.Iran is widely believed to have an extensive program for developing nuclear weapons which is deemed to be close to the point at which a weapon can be manufactured - although the regime denies its nuclear program is anything but "peaceful." Israel's leadership sees a nuclear Iran as an existential threat and has vowed numerous times to stop the program by whatever means necessary. However, it has refrained from taking action thus far in the hope that the United States would be the one to force Iran to halt the program – with force, if need be.US President Barack Obama's hesitation to launch even a minor strike on Iran's ally, Syria, even after it crossed Obama's self-announced red line and used chemical weapons to massacre civilians, is causing many Israelis to reconsider any faith they had that Obama would take action against the much larger Iranian threat.

Egypt: The debate over Sharia law is far from over

Protests in Egypt

The interim President of Egypt, Adly Mansour, has nominated the 50 members of the committee that will debate the amendments to the Constitution. There are three Christians among the committee’s members

Giorgio Bernardelli Now that the street clashes and violence are over – for the time being at least – Sharia law tops the list of issues to be debated in post-Morsi Egypt. Yesterday, Egypt’s interim president, Judge Adli Mansour, – who was appointed by the military in July – announced the names of the 50 members that are to form part of the committee tasked with amending the Islamist-dominated Constitution. The committee will have 60 days to discuss the amendments. The Muslim Brotherhood managed to get the Constitution approved last November but the content is strongly criticised by the liberal opposition and representatives of Christians Churches who stopped the work they were doing for the committee in protest against the radical ideology of the Islamists. The generals held a referendum on the text after its revision.The committee – which is made up of representatives of political parties, religious communities and confessions - announced that three of its members are Christians: Bishop Paul, of the Coptic Orthodox Diocese of Tanta, the Coptic Catholic Bishop of Giza, Antonious Aziz Mina and the President of the Protestant Churches of Egypt, Safwat El-Bayyady. The committee also has three representatives from al-Azhar University (including Egypt’s Grand Mufti Shawky Allam) and two Islamist figures: Kamal El-Helbawy, a former leader of the Muslim Brotherhood who has disagreed with the movement for a while and Bassam El-Zarqa, Vice-President of the Salafist Nour party.Bassam El-Zarqa is sending out early signs of potential further clashes over Sharia law. Indeed, Nour has threatened to boycott the committee’s work, claiming the group is dominated “by leftist forces”. The party has already announced it intends to uphold article 219, the point most hotly contested by Christians because the text drafted by the Muslim Brotherhood has given more weight to Sharia law in the country.Article 2 of the previous Constitution - which dates back to the Sadat era – referred to Sharia law as the main source of legislation in Egypt. But this was considered too vague by Islamists, so article 219 was inserted into the text approved in 2012. This article stressed the link between State law and Islamic law. “The principles of Sharia law include commonly accepted interpretations of it, the foundations, jurisprudential rules and sources passed down by the Sunnah and al-Gama'a schools,” the current text reads. The law as described here is far more binding and explicitly targets Shiites as well, who do not follow the Islamic doctrines mentioned.One of the amendments proposed by the committee of ten experts which drafted the text which the 50-meber committee will now debate on, is the abrogation of article 219 and a return to a more generic form of Islamic law. This is why Salafists have protested. But the military and the transitional government believe it is essential to keep Nour in the Constitutional revision process (partly to prevent friction with Saudi Arabia which has openly sided against ousted President Mohammed Morsi). So the debate surrounding Sharia law appears far from over and it looks like it will be the real litmus test for judging Egypt’s new path.

EGYPT

ISAIAH 19:1-5
1 The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.
2 And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.
3 And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards.
4 And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts.
5 And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up.

DANIEL 11:40-43
40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south ( EGYPT) push at him:(EU DICTATOR IN ISRAEL) and the king of the north (RUSSIA AND MUSLIM HORDES OF EZEK 38+39) shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.
41 He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.(JORDAN)
42 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
43 But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.

JOEL 2:3,20,30-31
3 A fire(NUCLEAR ATOMIC BOMB) devoureth before them;(RUSSIA-ARABS-MUSLIMS) and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them,(BEFORE THE NUKE GOES OFF) and behind them a desolate wilderness;(AFTER THE ATOMIC BOMB GOES OFF) yea, and nothing shall escape them.(EVERYTHING NUKED)
20 But I will remove far off from you the northern army,(RUSSIA,ARAB,MUSLIMS) and will drive him into a land barren and desolate,(SIBERIAN DESERT) with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things.(FOR COMING AGAINST ISRAEL)
30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.(NUCLEAR BOMB)
31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.

JEREMIAH 8:7
7 Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times;(MIGRATION TIME) and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming;(IN MIGRATION SEASON) but my people know not the judgment of the LORD.(WW3 MIGRATING BIRDS EAT ISRAELS ENEMIES FLESH AND BLOOD)

Egypt army pummels Sinai militants, killing dozens

Official says helicopters fired 13 rockets at gatherings in peninsula

By AP September 3, 2013, 10:52 am 0-The times of Israel

EL-ARISH, Egypt — Egyptian helicopter gunships fired rockets early Tuesday at militants in the northern Sinai Peninsula, causing “dozens” of casualties, a security official said.He said the two aircraft surprised militant gatherings in three houses in two locations, al-Muqataa and Touma, south of the town of Sheikh Zuweyid near the border with the Gaza Strip.Attacks by Islamic militants surged in the lawless Sinai after the toppling of Egypt’s President Mohammed Morsi in a July 3 coup.The official said “dozens” of militants were killed and wounded but that fighting was still ongoing. He did not mention if there were yet any soldiers on the ground to assess the number of casualties.An eyewitness said the three houses were destroyed and part of a nearby mosque was damaged.The official spoke on condition of anonymity according to rules, while the witness spoke anonymously because he did not want to be involved.Egyptian security forces have stepped up counterinsurgency operations in the Sinai since the overthrow of Morsi, whom the military has alleged turned a blind eye to militants there.On Aug. 10, military helicopters fired three missiles targeting a meeting by suspected militants in Sheikh Zuweyid, killing 12.Also in Sinai, army commandos arrested late Monday two members of an al-Qaida-linked group that had in the past fired rockets at Israel, another security official said.The official said the commandos stormed two houses in the Jura village near Sheikh Zuweyid and detained two members of a group known as the Mujahideen Shura Council in the Environs of Jerusalem.

The official, who also spoke on condition of anonymity according to rules, said the two were experienced in setting up and firing the rockets used in the attacks.Security forces have a long list of wanted militants, who are concentrated along the border area with Gaza and Israel and in the central Sinai mountains.The Mujahideen Shura Council claimed several rocket attacks on Israel, the latest on August 13.Israel said then that its defense system, the “Iron Dome,” had shot down a rocket launched from Egypt targeting the Red Sea resort of Eilat. There were no injuries.

Benedict XVI, Francis’ asset

The embrace of the two Popes

Jorge Bergoglio sees the Pope Emeritus as an asset. “It’s like having your grandfather in the house, a wise grandfather,” Francis had said on the flight back from Rio de Janeiro last 29 July

ANDREA TORNIELLI vatican city “I will remain hidden from the world,” Benedict XVI told Roman priests last 14 February, two weeks before stepping down as leader of the Catholic Church. But partly because of the affection shown and the invitations sent to him Francis, Ratzinger has not disappeared from the public scene completely. Yesterday, for the first time since he resigned, the Pope Emeritus dressed in white and celebrated mass for his former students who meet once a year for a day or so at the end of the summer. The Pope Emeritus gave a homily, speaking off-the-cuff in German and the most important passages from this were translated and published by Vatican Radio. 
Benedict XVI’s homily focused on parts of the Gospel where Jesus speaks about humility and choosing the lowest places, in tune with Bergoglio’s message. The fact that the homily went public confirms that Ratzinger has not withdrawn completely from public life and neither is he living a cloistered life, despite the fact the elderly Pope Emeritus lives in a former convent. Benedict XVI lives a withdrawn but not a monastic life, assisted by four Memores Domini belonging to the Communion and Liberation movement and by his most loyal assistant Fr. Georg Gänswein. Gänswein is both personal secretary to the former Pope and Prefect of the Francis’ Papal Household. He doesn’t write books or speeches but does receive visits from friends, acquaintances and ecclesiastical and lay figures. Some of these visitors have given public interviews about their meetings with the former Pope, or have commented on them anonymously, denying certain statements falsely attributed to Ratzinger, such as the recent comment he allegedly made about the reason for his resignation being that God wanted him to.The Pope Emeritus has not disappeared from the public spot light altogether, partly because his successor allowed photos of the two of them together to be published. From their first meeting in Castel Gandolfo, to their first embrace, their moments of prayer together, their conversation about the Vatileaks documents and Ratzinger’s return to the Vatican. Then last 5 July, the day the encyclical co-written by the Pope and the Pope Emeritus was published, Francis wanted his predecessor by his side at the inauguration of the statue of St. Michael the Archangel. Francis sees the Pope Emeritus as an asset. “It’s like having your grandfather in the house, a wise grandfather. Pope Benedict is a man of great prudence.  He doesn’t interfere!  I have often told him so: “Holiness, receive guests, lead your own life, come along with us,” Bergoglio said on his return from the World Youth Day celebrations in Rio de Janeiro. The attention Francis shows to Ratzinger has also been demonstrated by his decision to keep Georg Gänswein as Prefect of the Papal Household. Gänswein is a bridge between the reigning Pope and his predecessor who is becoming less and less hidden.

McCain: Congress' Rejecting Use of Force in Syria Would be Catastrophic

Monday, 02 Sep 2013 03:32 PM

Sen. John McCain said Monday that he and Sen. Lindsey Graham had "a candid exchange" with President Barack Obama on Syria, and warned that "the consequences would be catastrophic" if Congress voted against a military strike against President Bashar al-Assad for his use of chemical weapons."The consequences would be catastrophic because it would undermine the credibility of the United States of America and the credibility of the President of the United States. None of us want that.""We had a candid exchange," the Arizona senator said, noting that he was encouraged by the Obama meeting. "We found some areas where we can work together, but we have a long way to go.” Graham, who represents South Carolina, also expressed optimism about the session but added: "The president has to fix this. We urged the president to up his game. If we don’t get Syria right, we don't want endless war. We want sustainable stability.
"A degrading strike limited in scope could have a beneficial effect to the battlefield momentum," Graham added. "There will never be a political settlement in Syria as long as Assad is winning." McCain and Graham met privately with Obama as part of the White House's extensive effort to lobby Congress for a military strike against Assad. The senators, who have long pressed for a stronger U.S. response in the country, said over the weekend that they might vote against a resolution authorizing military action in Syria because they considered Obama's plan as too limited. And as many more lawmakers said they were wary of a strike on Syria, no matter how limited, the White House stepped up its lobbying effort. Earlier Monday, the administration held a 70-minute telephone briefing with the House Democratic Caucus that included Secretary of State John Kerry; Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel; Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; Susan E. Rice, national security adviser; and James R. Clapper Jr., director of national intelligence. The call included 127 House Democrats, nearly two-thirds of their total number. Outside the White House, McCain said the administration's plan now could be more difficult because Assad "is moving his forces around." Both senators questioned the wisdom of President Obama publicly signaling in advance its intention to strike. Obama had said earlier this year that any documented use of chemical weapons by Assad against his own population would amount to a "red line" that the international community would not let him cross. The president now has called for a military response to Assad's purported use of chemical weapons in the civil war that has lasted more than two years — and the administration said on Sunday that it had evidence he recently used sarin gas in a Damascus suburb. McCain said on Monday that he believed lawmakers awaiting a critical vote on Syria "must be assured that this is different from the past two years of neglect" on the part of the administration. He also said he differed with the administration's view that there was sufficient time to seek an authorization from Congress. "I am not satisfied that the timeline is of no consequence — and I am astounded when the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff says it doesn't matter," McCain said, referring to Army Gen. Martin Dempsey. Both senators said that Obama now has to work harder in persuading the Congress and the American people that a strike is necessary against Assad.
"They have to work very hard," McCain said. "Americans are very skeptical. They have a selling job to do."
"There is a credibility gap with many of us," he added. "Many of my colleagues on Congress are going to have to be convinced either way." "It is not surprising to me that many of us in Congress are reluctant to engage in Syria because you don't know what's going to happen," Graham said. "'OK, we've struck Syria. Now what?'" "What can I sell to people in South Carolina?" the senator asked. "I can't sell another Iraq or Afghanistan, because I don't want to. What I can sell to the people of South Carolina is that if we don't get Syria right, Iran's surely going to take the signals that we don't care about their nuclear program." The senators also emphasized that any prolonged U.S. effort in Syria would not include American troops. "There should be no American boots on the ground," McCain said. "They are tired of it and weary of it." He Arizona senator added that a U.S. strike would be most effective if it targeted Assad's air operations. "We have to bring Bashar al-Assad down," he said. "If we take out his air operations, he would be at a great disadvantage."The Associated Press and Reuters contributed to this report.
