Francis: “It's a contradiction for a Christian to be anti-Semitic”

Bergoglio with the Chief Rabbi of Rome Riccardo Di Segni

A Jewish delegation visits Francis on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the deportation of Rome’s Jews. Chief Rabbi Di Segni praises the Lampedusa recovery efforts

ANDREA TORNIELLI vatican city “It’s a contradiction that a Christian is anti-Semitic: His roots are Jewish,” said the Pope. “A Christian cannot be anti-Semitic! Let Anti-Semitism be banished from the heart and life of every man and every woman!” Pope Francis said this to members of Rome’s Jewish community, whom he met today, to mark the 70th anniversary of the deportation of the city’s Jewish population during the Nazi occupation.The Pope recalled that “for many centuries … the Jewish community and the Church of Rome have lived in our city, with a history - as we well know - which was often transversed by misunderstandings and even true grievances,” Pope Francis said. “However, it is a story, that with the help of God, has for many decades experienced the development of friendly and fraternal relations.”
“Naturally the Second Vatican Council reflections on the Catholic side have contributed” to this change in mentality “but the life and actions of wise and generous individuals on both sides have also had an important part to play with their “courageous efforts in creating new paths for understanding and dialogue”. “Paradoxically, the shared tragedy of the war taught us to walk alongside each other. In a few days we will commemorate the 70^th anniversary of the deportation of Rome’s Jewish population,” Francis added. It will be a chance to remember and pray for the victims and their families. “It will also be an opportunity to keep vigilant so that, under any pretext, any forms of intolerance and anti-Semitism in Rome and the rest of the world not come back to life. I've said it other times and I would like to repeat it now: It’s a contradiction that a Christian is anti-Semitic: His roots are Jewish,” said the Pope. “A Christian cannot be anti-Semitic! Let Anti-Semitism be banished from the heart and life of every man and every woman!”Francis also reminded his audience of the efforts made by Christians and the clergy, with Pius XII’s blessing, to help the Jewish population. The Pope also said that “the anniversary offers a chance to remember how the Christian community responded during this “hour of darkness” to the needs of his brother in difficulty. We know how many religious institutions, monasteries and Papal Basilicas, interpreting the will of the Pope, opened their doors in a brotherly welcome , and how many ordinary Christians offered what help they could give, however big or small.”“The vast majority” of these Christians, Francis said, “were not aware of the need to update the Christian understanding of Judaism, and perhaps knew very little about the life of the Jewish community, But they had the courage to do what at that time was the right thing: to protect their brother, who was in danger. I would like to emphasize this aspect, because if it is true that it is important, on both sides, to study, in depth, theological reflections through dialogue, it is also true that there is a dialogue of life, that of everyday experience, which is no less important. Indeed, without this, without a real and concrete culture of encounter, which leads to authentic relationships, which exist without prejudice and suspicion, the engagement in the intellectual field would serve little purpose.”Finally, Francis pointed to some among the “many things” that the two communities have in common: the Decalogue as a solid foundation and source of life for our society which has become disoriented as a result of an extreme pluralism of choices and orientations.The Pope also sent the community a written message to commemorate the 70^th anniversary of the deportation of Rome’s Jews. The message contained an appeal to the new generations not to let their existence become flat, not to let themselves be influenced by ideologies, never to justify the evils they come across, not let their guard down and continue fighting against anti-Semitism and racism, whatever their background.In his opening greeting to the Pope, the Chief Rabbi of Rome, Riccardo Di Segni, alluded to the Biblical story of Noah’s Arc and the global flood, saying: “there is still something about that story that torments us: out of the whole of humanity only one family survives inside a boat, while everything else is destroyed by the flood.” “But in the past few days we have seen the exact opposite happening: we’ve seen people in a boat dying while the rest of humanity survives, helpless and indifferent.” “Our history and our faith rebel against this and with your strong presence which shares in this rebellion, you have proven that we have common values to pass on to humanity,” the Chief Rabbi continued.“It was a positive meeting,” Chief Rabbi Di Segni told Vatican Insider. The Pope showed a “great willingness to listen and a propositional attitude. In both our private and public meetings we spoke about biblical exegesis, history and solidarity.”

2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication,(VATICAN IN POLITICS) and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
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.
4 And the woman (FALSE CHURCH) was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour,(VATICAN COLOURS)(ANOTHER REASON WE KNOW THE FALSE POPE COMES FROM THE VATICAN) and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.(THE VATICAN IS BUILT ON 7 HILLS OR MOUNTAINS)

Bergoglio gives Schultz a push: “Europe must live up to its responsibilities”

Francis with Martin Schulz

Today the Pope met with the President of the European Parliament who invited Francis to Strasbourg. The two agreed that “the Lampedusa scenario must never be repeated again”

GIACOMO GALEAZZI vatican city As the son of immigrants whose father had a lucky escape from a sinking ship, Bergoglio sent out a firm message to Europe in his meeting with the President of the European Parliament, Martin Schultz, today. The Pope called on Europe to live up to its responsibilities in order to prevent boat people tragedies like last Thursday’s one at Lampedusa, which claimed the lives of 319 illegal immigrants. The European Parliament is anxious to welcome a Pope of such “extraordinary open-mindedness”. But Bergoglio is no fan of blown up media campaigns unless he can see concrete results, so a papal visit to Strasbourg would mean a crammed schedule with lots of topics to discuss.A hot topic up for discussion is the need for greater European involvement in welcoming immigrants and in mediation for peace in Syria and the Middle East. In a press statement, Martin Schultz said that during his audience with Francis, “I spoke about the urgent problems faced by the EU and I think it’s no surprise that our conversation turned to Lampedusa and the immigration,” the President of the EU Parliament said after the meeting. He underlined that “more solidarity and a greater cooperation against despair and civil war” were crucial. “The Pope’s messages in these first few months of his pontificate encouraged me to bring him this message.” “Once again I extended the European Parliament’s invitation to the Pope to come to Strasbourg” and “I think my message was warmly received, so I am glad I had the opportunity to extend our invitation to him,” Schultz told journalists. The invitation coincides with an important anniversary: “Twenty-five years ago, on this day, John Paul II addressed the plenary of the European Parliament in Strasbourg. On behalf of the European Parliament, I have extended an invitation to Pope Francis to address the plenary."Widening the scope of legal immigration and creating more human corridors for refugees coming to Europe as well as temporary permits for refugees are measures Europe could adopt to deal with the immigration emergency after the Lampedusa boat tragedy, Schultz underlined. The subject of immigration took up much of this morning’s half-hour meeting with the Pope, who asked for greater attention to be paid to the issues linked to this phenomenon. It is an issue that Europe as a whole needs to deal with urgently but responsibility also lies with the single States. This morning Francis and the President of the European Parliament leafed through a photo album of John Paul II’s visit to the Parliament in Strasbourg 25 years ago. Schultz asked the Pope to follow in the footsteps of his predecessor and visit the European Parliament.The president gave the Pope a book of Sunday prayers and a book on Aachen Cathedral. Francis reciprocated with a Vatican Museum pen featuring one of the columns from Bernini’s “baldacchino” (canopy) which surmounts the Confession altar. Schultz was accompanied by the mayor of Aachen, the local newspaper’s editor-in-chief and the local parish priest. The Vatican’s spokesman, Fr. Federico Lombardi, said some of the issues covered during the meeting included “poverty, the emigration phenomenon and youth unemployment,”The Pope showed his appreciation for the invitation to Strasbourg. “The President’s invitation was heartfelt and will receive the Pope’s careful consideration,” Fr. Lombardi underlined. So the Pope has not yet taken Schultz up on his invitation and there was no mention of any potential dates. If a visit does take place, it will only be to the European institutions and not to the Diocese of Strasbourg, which John Paul II did visit back in 1998, the Curia pointed out.

Francis: “The devil exists, let’s not confuse it with a mental illness”

Pope Francis

In this morning’s homily for the daily mass in St. Martha’s House, Francis said “Let us not do business with the devil”

ANDREA TORNIELLI vatican city Pope Francis spoke again of the devil at today’s mass in St. Martha’s House, inviting faithful to take the Scriptures that mention the devil, seriously. The text Francis commented on today was a passage from Luke’s Gospel, which says that Jesus casts out demons but is not understood by the people.“There are some priests who, when they read this Gospel passage, this and others say: ‘But, Jesus healed a person with a mental illness’. They do not read this, no? It is true that at that time, they could confuse epilepsy with demonic possession; but it is also true that there was the devil! And we do not have the right to simplify the matter, as if to say: ‘All of these (people) were not possessed; they were mentally ill’. No! The presence of the devil is on the first page of the Bible, and the Bible ends as well with the presence of the devil, with the victory of God over the devil,” Francis said.Francis’ call to faithful not to downplay or confuse the devil’s action with mental illnesses was particularly striking. Francis asked Christians not to be naïve when faced with the temptation of finding explanations “to diminish the power of the Lord.” “There is always the temptation to want to diminish the figure of Jesus, as if he were “a healer at most” and so as not to take him “so seriously”. This temptation still exists today.The Pope then outlined three ways of fighting evil: “Do not confuse the truth. Jesus fights the devil: first criterion. Second criterion: he who is not with Jesus is against Jesus. There are no attitudes in the middle. Third criterion: vigilance over our hearts because the devil is astute. He is never cast out forever. It will only be so on the last day.”“Vigilance,” Francis said, “because his strategy is this: ‘You became Christian. Advance in your faith. I will leave you. I will leave you tranquil. But then when you are used to not being so watchful and you feel secure, I will come back’. The Gospel today begins with the devil being cast out and ends with the devil coming back! St. Peter would say: ‘It is like a fierce lion that circles us’. It is like that.”“‘But, Father, you a little ancient. You are frightening us with these things…’ No, not me! It is the Gospel! And these are not lies: it is the Word of the Lord! Let us ask the Lord for the grace to take these things seriously. He came to fight for our salvation. He won against the devil! Please, let us not do business with the devil! He seeks to return home, to take possession of us… Do not relativize; be vigilant! And always with Jesus!.

Athens (AFP) - Greece and Turkey, which share a history marred by bitter territorial disputes and Christian-Muslim feuds, are at loggerheads once again over religion.The latest row erupted after Greece flatly rejected the idea of reviving two Muslim mosques in Athens in return for the reopening of an Orthodox clergy school in Turkey.Mosques have been a thorny issue for a long time in Greece, where the population is predominantly Greek Orthodox. Athens is one of the few European capitals without an official mosque.
The Halki seminary has also been a subject of controversy. The Orthodox clergy used to train in the school located on an island off Istanbul but it was closed in 1971, after Turkey fell out with Greece over Cyprus.
Turkey, a country where Muslims make up 99 percent of the population, recently decided to give back to the seminary lands that had been seized in 1943, but there was no talk of reopening."While we return something, we have the right to expect the return of other things," said Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who said he wanted two mosques revived in exchange for the seminary."Greece's position on the subject (the re-opening of the seminary) is clear, (it is) in accordance with international law and has been expressed on numerous occasions," Greek Foreign Minister Evangelos Venizelos said earlier this week.Any further public discussion on the matter would be "counter productive," Venizelos said when asked to comment on Erdogan's suggestion.Erdogan also wants Greece's Muslims to be able to elect their own Mufti (religious leader), something that the Greek government is currently in charge of.Greece is home to around 500,000 Muslims -- many of them undocumented migrants -- including a community of over 100,000 Greek citizens of Turkish origin in the country's northeast.A staunchly Orthodox state with bitter memories of nearly four centuries of Ottoman Turkish rule, Greece currently offers sanctioned Muslim religious sites only near its northeastern border with Turkey.The issue of mosques in Greece started popping up shortly after 2000, as the 2004 Athens Olympics were looming up.With an increasing number of migrants from Pakistan and other Muslim countries having recently found their way to the Greek capital, the matter has become more pressing and in 2011 the government approved the construction of a mosque in Athens.But there were no immediate signs of interest in the project, in view of the Greek Church's reluctance, objections by local residents and protests by far-right activists including neo-Nazi party Golden Dawn.In September, the ministry of infrastructure launched a fourth call for offers for this project which will cost some one million euros ($1.4 million).

DANIEL 11:21-23
21 And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.

24 He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.

17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.

Danon: 'Need to Weigh Up Future of Negotiations'

In light of earlier incidents, Jordan Valley attack creates a "disturbing picture," says Deputy Defense Minister Danny Danon.-By Kochava Rozenbaum-First Publish: 10/11/2013, 12:27 PM-Israelnationalnews

Deputy Defense Minister Danny Danon-Flash 90

Although Friday's fatal attack in the Jordan Valley community of Brosh is unrelated to previous recent acts of terrorism, together they form a disturbing picture, according to Deputy Defense Minister Danny Danon.
Danon told interviewers on Israeli radio network Reshet Bet that there was room to weigh up whether or not to continue negotiations with the Palestinian Authority following the attacks, and the incitement he said lay behind them.According to the Deputy Defense Minister, "forces trying to undermine" Mahmoud Abbas' leadership could also have been behind the attack."Israel expects the Palestinian Authority to react and take actions, but at the moment we are not seeing this," Danon lamented.Many political figures have rejected claims that the recent spate of terror attacks is not the responsibility of the Palestinian Authority (PA) and its Chaiman, Mahmoud Abbas.Following the attack in Psagot last week, which saw a nine-year old Israeli girl shot in the neck at close range, Israeli Housing Minister Uri Ariel said: “the same 'Abu' is not denouncing and the same 'Mazen' is not taking action to arrest terrorists but only making gestures.” Abu Mazen is another name for the PA Chairman. Minister Uri Ariel also said that the current violence is a problem that requires that the government “stop, think anew, reach conclusions and see how we continue.”Also following Thursday night's attack, Judea and Samaria (Yesha) Council Chairman and Head of the Binyamin Regional Council Avi Ro'eh said that the continued negotiations with the Palestinian Authority had only led to an increase in terror attacks, adding that they gave the impression of weakness and sent out the wrong message.

11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
12 Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:
13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.
14 And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters’ vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit.
15 For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.
16 But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.

Houses of prayer in the Holy City

Some have been desecrated, some have been destroyed, and some have been lovingly restored, but the stories of Jerusalem’s synagogues live on

Israel’s War of Independence ended with Jerusalem divided in two — and the Old City in Jordanian hands. Unfortunately, during the course of the war, two of the Old City’s magnificent and historic synagogues were razed to the ground by the Jordanian Legion. When the Six Day War of 1967 reunited the Holy City, the Jewish Quarter returned to Israel. Restorations began on a number of important sites, including several sanctuaries that had been demolished, desecrated or taken away by the Muslim authorities over the centuries. Here are a few of their stories:

Four Sephardic Synagogues

Rabbi Yochanan Ben-Zakkai was a first century sage and a member of the Sanhedrin (the highest Jewish court and council in ancient times) who kept Jewish learning alive after the fall of the Second Temple. In the 16^th century, a sanctuary in Jerusalem was named after the famous rabbi, which was joined, over the next 200 years, by three adjoining houses of worship. Called the Four Sephardic Synagogues, that complex is located on the edge of the Jewish Quarter in Jerusalem’s Old City and serves as a major spiritual, educational, and financial center for Sephardic Jews. Indeed, it is here that the Chief Rabbi of the Sephardic community has been anointed since 1893 (except during the years of Jerusalem’s division). The largest of the four chambers is the Ben-Zakkai Synagogue on which site, according to tradition, the revered rabbi taught Bible. A smaller sanctuary next door, named for Elijah the prophet, has been the subject of numerous stories. My favorite is the tale about the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) when only nine Jews showed up for prayers (services can’t start without ten). Suddenly a stranger appeared and the worshipers happily began to pray. Immediately after the service, the stranger vanished. It was obvious to the others that the tenth addition had been Elijah — who saves the day on all kinds of different occasions.Kahal Zion, also known as the Middle Synagogue, is the smallest of the four sanctuaries. On the wall are framed computer-produced memorials. These replace stone memorials which were destroyed by the Jordanians during and after the War of Independence. Built by immigrant Jews from Istanbul, and today used by Jews from Kurdistan as well, the fourth chamber is called the Istanbuli Synagogue. This 18th-century sanctuary boasts an extraordinary pulpit with exquisite ornamentation; its gold-plated wooden ark has been lovingly restored.In 1948, this place of worship was a last refuge for the Jews of the Old City, who were forced to surrender when the soldiers of the Arab Legion closed in on them. Nineteen years later, when Jewish soldiers re-entered the synagogue complex, they found that the Jordanians had turned the historic house of worship into a stable. Since that time the synagogue has been completely restored.

Tiferet Yisrael

When completed in 1872, Tiferet Yisrael was three stories high and its dome was one of the tallest spots in the Old City. It was built by followers of a religious movement founded in the 18^thcentury, when Judaism was sometimes considered the sole domain of scholars and community leaders. The new movement, called Hasidism, made Judaism accessible and attractive to all, teaching that even an ignorant person could find grace in the eyes of God if he had a pure heart and prayed with devotion.

Tiferet Yisrael (photo credit: Shmuel Bar-Am)

In 1948, Tiferet Yisrael became an important military position and lookout point for Jewish defenders, and the battle over the building led to its destruction. Already badly damaged by heavy shelling, Tiferet Yisrael was completely demolished by Jordanian sappers in the days following the capitulation of the Jewish Quarter. Dome and walls collapsed and covered the building’s foundations. While some of its splendid features can still be seen in the ruins, this is the one early synagogue that has not been restored.

The Ramban Synagogue

Established in 1267, this was the very first synagogue to be built in the Jewish Quarter. Its founder was a well-known Spanish biblical commentator, Rabbi Moshe Ben-Nahman (1194-1270). His name is abbreviated in Hebrew as the famous acronym: the Ramban and he is also known as Nahmanides.

Commander Abdullah A-Tal decided to completely destroy Jewish morale and thus to purge the city of Jews once and for all. He gave an order — and the synagogue was blown to bits

Rabbi Moshe Ben-Nahman immigrated to the land of Israel after participating in a debate on religion with the royalty of Spain. Having won the debate, he was then forced to leave the country. Spain’s loss was Israel’s gain. Rabbi Ben-Nahman wasted no time in building a synagogue, traditionally on this site, utilizing marble pillars and a lovely dome from an abandoned edifice in its construction. Since the synagogue was a religious center for all of the Jewish groups in the city, the Jewish Quarter developed around it. In 1586, the Turkish governor of Jerusalem kicked the Jews out of their synagogue and Muslims began using the building as a storeroom for a neighboring mosque. The beautiful interior of the synagogue, reconstructed after the reunification of Jerusalem and returned to use after almost four centuries of neglect, contains one of its former columns. The pillar bears the Hebrew inscription “Avraham, Yitzhak, Ya’akov” (Abraham, Isaac and Jacob).

The Hurva Synagogue

Several decades ago, a naked arch was erected above a pile of rubble in the Old City’s Jewish Quarter. It quickly became a Jerusalem landmark, seen on countless postcards and photographs. Considered by many to be a symbol of wanton destruction – and to others the promise of future redemption – the arch has completely disappeared. It was replaced by the complete restoration of the exquisite Hurva Synagogue, which stood on this site before its destruction by the Jordanian Legion in 1948.

The first synagogue to be erected on this spot was built in 1705 by Ashkenazi followers of Rabbi Yehuda HaHasid. Five years earlier, the rabbi and his disciples had come to Jerusalem from eastern Europe to hasten the coming of the Messiah. Although the rabbi passed away soon after his arrival, his followers were desperate for a synagogue. Since money was scarce, they were forced to borrow heavily from the local Muslim populace in order to complete its construction. A few decades later, when the Jews were unable to pay back the loans, Muslim rioters demolished the synagogue and expelled the Ashkenazi community from Jerusalem. In 1836, a small place of Ashkenazi worship called Menachem Zion was constructed at the site; a house of study, Sha’arei Zion, was added in 1856. But the very large center for Ashkenazi Jews that would stand here eventually was completed only in 1864, with the help of the philanthropic Rothschild family. Officially named Beit Ya’akov, after the Baron James (Ya’akov in Hebrew) de Rothschild, it continued to be known as the Hurva (“Ruin”) of Rabbi Yehuda HaHasid.

A splendid edifice, Beit Ya’akov was the tallest structure in the Jewish Quarter, with lovely interior wall decorations and a stunning Holy Ark from Russia. The synagogue became the center of Jewish life in Jerusalem, so important that, during the War of Independence, defenders of the Jewish Quarter kept the fighting away from the site. On May 27th, 1948, when the Jewish Quarter was under siege and its buildings devastated, Commander Abdullah A-Tal decided to completely destroy Jewish morale and thus to purge the city of Jews once and for all. He gave an order — and the synagogue was blown to bits. On the very next day, the brave defenders of the Jewish Quarter surrendered. But times have changed. And today, risen from the ashes, the Hurva Synagogue once again towers over the Jewish Quarter. —————————————————————————————————————– Aviva Bar-Am is the author of seven English-language guides to Israel.

ICHAPURAM/BHUBANESWAR, India (Reuters) - Rain and wind lashed India's east coast on Saturday, forcing about 450,000 people to flee to shelters as one of the country's largest cyclones closed in, threatening to cut a swathe of devastation through farmland and fishing hamlets.Filling most of the Bay of Bengal, Cyclone Phailin was about 90 km (124 miles) off the coast by late afternoon and was expected to strike the coast by nightfall with winds of between 210 kph (130 mph) and 220 kph (137 mph).The storm was expected to affect 12 million people, most of them in the densely populated states of Odisha and Andhra Pradesh, weather and disaster management officials said.Even before landfall, coconut trees in villages along the coast were bent and broken in the gusting wind. Electrical poles were brought down and roads were littered with debris.
In the first reported deaths, two people were killed by falling trees while a third when the walls of her mud house collapsed.Terrified children clung to their mothers as they sought shelter. Most towns along the coast were deserted but there were still some people trying to flee.Some people took refuge in temples, others crammed into three-wheel auto-rickshaws and headed inland."This is one of the largest evacuations undertaken in India," said Shashidhar Reddy, vice chairman of the National Disaster Management Authority, who estimated that more than 440,000 people had fled from their homes.The size of the storm made extensive damage to property more likely, he told reporters in New Delhi. "Our priority is to minimize loss of life."Phailin is expected to bring a 3.4-m (11-foot) surge in sea levels when it hits the coast between 1230 GMT and 1430 GMT.
EXTENSIVE DAMAGE
The weather department warned of extensive damage to mud houses, major disruption of power and communication lines, and the flooding of rail tracks and roads. Flying debris is another threat."In a storm of this magnitude there is the potential for widespread damage to crops and livestock in the low-lying coastal areas and houses completely wiped away," said Kunal Shah, the head of the aid group World Vision's emergency response team in India."While we are praying this storm loses intensity, we're also preparing."

31 in Fla. Infected by Bacteria in Salt Water

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. October 11, 2013 (AP)

By TAMARA LUSH Associated Press-yahoonews

Patty Konietzky thought the small purple lesion on her husband's ankle was a spider bite. But when the lesion quickly spread across his body like a constellation, she knew something wasn't right.After a trip to the hospital and a day and a half later, Konietzky's 59-year-old husband was dead.The diagnosis: vibrio vulnificus (vih-BREE'-oh VUHL'-nihf-ih-kus), an infection caused by a bacterium found in warm salt water. It's in the same family of bacterium that causes cholera. So far this year, 31 people across Florida have been infected by the severe strain of vibrio, and 10 have died."I thought the doctors would treat him with antibiotics and we'd go home," said Konietzky, who lives in Palm Coast, Fla. "Never in a million years it crossed my mind that this is where I'd be today."State health officials say there are two ways to contract the disease: by eating raw, tainted shellfish — usually oysters — or when an open wound comes in contact with bacteria in warm seawater.In Mobile, Ala., this week health department officials said two men with underlying health conditions were diagnosed with vibrio vulnificus in recent weeks. One of the men died in September and the other is hospitalized. Both men were tending to crab traps when they came into contact with seawater.While such occurrences could potentially concern officials in states with hundreds of miles of coastline and economies largely dependent on ocean-related tourism, experts say the bacteria is nothing most people should worry about. Vibrio bacteria exist normally in salt water and generally only affect people with compromised immune systems, they say. Symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain. If the bacteria get into the bloodstream, they provoke symptoms including fever and chills, decreased blood pressure and blistering skin wounds.But there's no need to stop swimming in the Gulf of Mexico, says Diane Holm, a spokeswoman for the state health department in Lee County, which has had a handful of cases that included one fatality this year."This is nothing abnormal," she said. "We don't believe there is any greater risk for someone to swim in the Gulf today than there was yesterday or 10 years ago."There have been reports this year in Gulf states of other waterborne illnesses, but they are rare. In fresh water, the Naegleria fowleri amoeba usually feeds on bacteria in the sediment of warm lakes and rivers. If it gets high up in the nose, it can get into the brain. Cases have been reported in Louisiana, Arkansas and in Florida, including the August death of a boy in the southwestern part of the state who contracted the amoeba while knee boarding in a water-filled ditch.Dr. James Oliver, a professor of biology at the University of North Carolina in Charlotte, has studied vibrio vulnificus for decades. He said that while Florida has the most cases of vibrio infection due to the warm ocean water that surrounds the state, the bacteria is found worldwide, generally in estuaries and near the coast."It's normal flora in the water," he said. "It belongs there."The vast majority of people who are exposed to the bacteria don't get sick, he said. A few people become ill but recover. Only a fraction of people are violently ill and fewer still die; Oliver said many of those people ingest tainted, raw shellfish.

Oliver and Florida Department of Health officials say people shouldn't be afraid of going into Florida's waters, but that those with suppressed immune systems, such as people who have cancer, diabetes or cirrhosis of the liver, should be aware of the potential hazards of vibrio vulnificus, especially if they have an open wound.Holm said nine people died from vibrio vulnificus in Florida in 2012, and 13 in 2011, so this year's statistics aren't alarming. What's different, she said, was that victims' families are speaking to the news media about the danger.Konietzky watched as her husband Henry "Butch" Konietzky died on Sept. 23. She said she feels it's her mission to let others know about the potential risks. Next week, she and her husband's adult daughter are scheduled to appear on "The Doctors" television program to discuss the disease."We knew nothing about this bacteria," she said. Never mind that both she and her husband grew up in Florida and have spent their lives fishing and participating in other water activities.The couple had gone crabbing on the Halifax River near Ormond Beach on Sept. 21, she said. Her husband first noticed the ankle lesion in the middle of that night. He didn't wake his wife, but in the morning, told her that it felt like his skin was burning near the lesion. Patty Konietzky took a photo of it and hours later, when her husband said he was in pain and the lesions had spread, they went to the emergency room.Konietzky said her husband didn't have any health problems or open wounds that she knew of, and when doctors told her that he had an infection in his bloodstream, she didn't think it was too serious. Within hours, her husband's skin turned purple and it "looked like he had been beaten with a baseball bat."Nearly 62 hours after he was in the water, Butch Konietzky died. His wife notes that she, too, was in the same water — yet wasn't infected."To walk around in the water and doing the things we did, you didn't give it any thought," she said.Konietzky said her husband wouldn't want her — or anyone else — to stop fishing or enjoying outdoor activities because of a fear of the bacteria. Nonetheless, she wants people to be aware of the risk and is pushing her local county commission to post signs warning folks about the bacteria."I'm not going to be afraid of it," she said. "I have to personally put some meaning on the loss of my husband. And speaking out is all I can do."————————

2 By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.
3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.

Florida wildlife officials have had little success reducing the burgeoning local populations of Burmese pythons, but they sure aren’t giving up any time soon.After myriad solutions have proved largely ineffective against the invasive species, the state is—once again—deploying a new weapon: Traps engineered specifically for pythons.Two separate triggers need to be tripped simultaneously for the five-foot long, galvanized steel device to close. Officials said this fail-safe feature should keep the trap from closing on native snakes like the shorter eastern diamondback rattlesnake or the water moccasin.In the next few months, officials at the Gainesville field station for the National Wildlife Research Center will test the device in an enclosure housing five pythons. To lure the snakes, officials will bait the traps with scents of the snakes’ prey—the state’s small mammals. If the devices prove effective, the plan is to then move them to the wild sometime next year. “There’s still more to be learned, there’s still more to be tested,” said John Humphrey, a biologist at the NWRC.The Everglades has become an immense breeding ground for the Burmese python, with an estimated 150,000 of the slithering giants thriving in the warm waters, lush swamplands, and saw grasses that dominate the peninsula’s southern reach.“There’s nothing stopping them, the native wildlife are in trouble,” said Kenneth Krysko, of the Florida Museum of Natural History, told the AP last year when a 17-foot, 7-inch specimen was caught and killed. That record-setter has since been eclipsed by a 19-foot, 128-pound specimen, killed in May.Native to South Asia, the snakes first came to Florida in the 1980s as part of the exotic pet trade. The infestation began, officials surmise, when pets were released into the wild, either intentionally or accident when they may have slithered out of Miami-area pet stores after Hurricane Andrew ransacked the city in 1992.In early 2012, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service banned the "importation and interstate transportation" of African rock pythons, Burmese pythons, and the yellow anaconda. But people in the United States and Canada can still own the snakes with special permits.
Voracious, unscrupulous eaters, the snakes are decimating the state’s small mammals. A January 2012 study, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, estimated that Florida’s raccoon population had fallen 99.3 percent, opossum by 98.9 percent, and bobcat by 87.5 percent between 2003 and 2011.State officials have since gotten quite creative in their attempt to exterminate the unwanted visitors.They’ve enlisted the help of python-sniffing dogs, held python-hunting contests, and even supported turning the critters into handbags.By and large, these silver bullets have missed the mark. Perhaps the new python trap will have better aim. Stay tuned.

American Scientists Warn Against Loose Missiles in Syria

Syria's anti-aircraft missiles could imperil civil aviation if they fall into the hands of terror groups, warns American scientists group.-By Elad Benari, Canada-First Publish: 10/12/2013, 12:19 AM-INNEWS

Syrian rebels on patrol-AFP photo

The Syrian government's shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles and launchers could imperil civil aviation if they fall into the hands of terror groups, an independent report examining the global proliferation of portable missiles says.The report released Friday by the Federation of American Scientists (FAS) and reported on by the Associated Press, warns that some opposition factions inside Syria are already wielding small numbers of anti-aircraft systems in combat against Syrian government forces.Citing video and photo evidence from opposition forces, media and official accounts, the FAS study says some portable launchers and missiles have been seized by opposition forces during battles with Syrian troops, while others have been smuggled in to rebel fighters from neighboring countries.FAS is a prominent Washington group that focuses on issues of science and security.The 88-page report warns about man-portable air-defense systems, also known as MANPADS, in the arsenal of Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad's government. U.S. officials have estimated the Syrian government has as many as 20,000 MANPADS, compact missile launchers with the range and explosive power to attack low-flying planes and helicopters.It is unclear how many similar weapons might have been smuggled into Syria by rebels and sympathizers to fight Assad.Syria's anti-aircraft missile inventory is comparable in size to that amassed by Libyan forces before the 2011 ouster of Muammar Qaddafi. The FAS study cites the widespread looting of anti-aircraft weapons that occurred after Qaddafi’s fall and the mass ransacking of Iraqi weapons depots after the U.S. invasion in 2003 as evidence that Syria's missiles are equally vulnerable.The report said it was unclear whether any have been smuggled out of Libya.

"Should Syria go the way of Libya and Iraq, the international community could be confronted with the loss of government control over thousands of additional MANPADS, some of which are significantly more sophisticated than most of the MANPADS looted from depots in Libya," wrote the study's author, Matthew Schroeder, director of the FAS' Arms Sales Monitoring Project.Both militant and moderate opposition forces have repeatedly urged Western and Mideast nations to supply them with portable anti-aircraft systems capable of downing Syrian aircraft used in bombing runs at rebel and civilian targets. The U.S. has so far balked at providing missiles, worried that some could end up with terrorist groups such as the Al-Nusra Front which has pledged allegiance to Al-Qaeda.Verifying the authenticity of videos and photos depicting the missiles in Syria has been difficult, but Schroeder said that a "broad array of sources," which include media eyewitness accounts of the use of missiles, point to the availability and occasional use of anti-aircraft weapons in Syria.Many of the portable launchers displayed by Syrian rebel groups on the Internet, Schroeder said, appear to be decades-old models such as Russian-made SA-7s — similar to ones found in Libya after Qaddafi’s ouster.Unlike Libya, Syria's military has a larger supply of newer and longer-range models supplied from Russia, Schroeder said, and as a result, Syrian rebels also appear to have seized some new-model Russian missile launchers.The report was released the same day that Human Rights Watch (HRW) reported that groups of Syrian rebel forces executed at least 190 civilians and seized over 200 as hostages during a military offensive on August 4.According to the report, a majority of the massacres took place in the city of Latakia, predominantly inhabited by members of Bashar Al-Assad's minority Alawite sect.Al-Nusra and other jihadist rebel groups vowed revenge strikes against villages from the Alawite community over a chemical weapons attack in Damascus on August 21.Members of Al-Nusra and other rebel groups have committed atrocities during the Syrian civil war, including publicly beheading a Catholic priest who was accused of collaborating with Bashar Al-Assad’s regime.(Arutz Sheva’s North American Desk is keeping you updated until the start of Shabbat in New York.

Seoul (AFP) - North Korea on Saturday issued a fresh warning of an "all-out war", urging the United States to stop military drills and what it described as "nuclear blackmail".In a thinly veiled threat to strike the United States, the North's National Defence Commission (NDC), chaired by leader Kim Jong-Un, said the US government must withdraw its policy of hostility against the North if it wants peace on both the Korean peninsula and the "US mainland"."(The United States) must bear it in mind that reckless provocative acts would meet our retaliatory strikes and lead to an all-out war of justice for a final showdown with the United States," a spokesman of the NDC was quoted as saying in a statement carried by Pyongyang's Korean Central News Agency."We emphasize again that the United States must withdraw various measures aimed to isolate and strangulate us. Dependent upon this are... peace and security, not only on the Korean peninsula but the US mainland as well."The comments come after a two-day joint naval drill between Japan, South Korea and the US, which included an American nuclear aircraft carrier, sparked a series of angry responses and threats from Pyongyang.On Friday the North slammed a naval drill by US, South Korean and Japanese warships as a "serious military provocation" and vowed to "bury in the sea" the American carrier taking part in the exercise.The latest bellicose statement from the NDC demanded that the US lift sanctions against the North, stop the "constant nuclear blackmails" and various war drills.It rejected as "intolerable contempt" a US demand that it should show tangible commitment towards abandoning its nuclear programmes if it wants substantive talks with the United States."The denuclearization of the Korean peninsula is an inalterable policy goal of the DPRK government," it said, but added that getting rid of such weapons should also include a total removal of US nuclear threats against the North.The US and South Korea have long demanded that Pyongyang show tangible commitment to ending its nuclear weapons programme before the six-party talks, which have been stalled for several years, can resume.The North has said for years it wants denuclearisation of the whole Korean peninsula and that it is developing a nuclear arsenal to protect itself from the US military, which occasionally sends nuclear-powered warships and aircraft capable of carrying atomic weapons.In February the North carried out its third underground nuclear test in defiance of UN Security Council resolutions, sending tensions soaring and raising fears of possible conflict. It also launched a rocket in December that Washington said was a disguised ballistic missile test.As well as the two Koreas, China and the US the six-party talks also involve Russia and Japan.

On top of its epic struggle to understand the First Amendment, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has now shown that it apparently doesn’t understand elementary trespassing law.On October 1, Samantha L. Bowden, CAIR’s communication and outreach director in Florida, drove about 80 miles from Tampa, Fla. to Orlando, Fla. to “stalk” University of Central Florida (UCF) professor Jonathan Matusitz by impermissibly sitting in one of his scheduled classes, according to the website Family Security Matters.
“As I started teaching my class, I noticed that a female stranger was sitting at the back of the classroom. That person never asked me if she could enter my class and sit in the back of the classroom,” Matusitz explained, apparently in a police report.“When I approached her, that person introduced herself as Samantha. Because Samantha is not one of my students, I asked her to leave. In the beginning, she was insisting to stay in my class. I had to ask her a few times before she finally left.”Matusitz said he realized that Bowden works for CAIR not long after she finally left.“She is based in Tampa,” the professor added. “She is not a UCF student and never was a UCF student.”A profile by SaintPetersBlog notes that Bowden is a registered Democrat who spent time volunteering with Rock the Vote and was a “prominent Occupy activist.” She majored in international affairs and geography at the University of South Florida. One day, she hopes to visit the Middle East.Florida law prohibits trespassing on the campuses of state universities. A specific UCF regulation prohibits trespassing and loitering. “Only students registered for a class may be in attendance in instructional areas unless permission of the instructor is given,” it reads.CAIR has quite a history of trying to intimidate Matusitz, a tenured communications professor. The Muslim civil liberties group doesn’t like Matusitz’s argument linking Muslim culture to radical Islamic terrorism.In August, CAIR asked government officials in Brevard County, Fla. to deny the use of a county-owned meeting room to a group hosting a speech by Matusitz. CAIR called the group, ACT! for America, “an anti-Muslim hate group.” (RELATED: CAIR tries to ban professor’s speech on ‘The Islamic Threat to America’) ACT! for America is a conservative organization that bills itself as standing athwart the threat posed by radical Islam.
CAIR representatives told the Orlando Sentinel that an exception to the First Amendment should be made for Matusitz’s speech.“This individual makes statements to incite violence against the Muslim community, so I think that the line has been crossed,” explained Hassan Shibly, a lawyer and executive director of CAIR of Tampa. “ACT! is an extremist group no different than the KKK. And if the KKK wanted to use that room, there would be a protest.”Doug “Ibrahim” Hooper, CAIR’s national communications director, piped up, too.

NETANYAHU-TO WEST-DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU

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

MATTHEW 24:15-21
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place,(ROBOT OF DICTATOR IN THE 3RD TEMPLE)(AT THE MIDPOINT) (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:(FRI nights at 6pm till SAT NIGHT AT 6PM))
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

WHEN THIS ROBOT IS SET UP IN THE 3RD TEMPLE OF THE FUTURE WORLD DICTATOR AT THE MIDPOINT OF THE 7 YEAR TRIBULATION PERIOD-AFTER THIS WORLD LEADER HAS HAD A FALSE RESSURECTION AND HAS ALSO STOPPED THE SACRIFICES BEING DONE IN THE 3RD TEMPLE.THEN THIS ROBOT OF THE WORLD DICTATOR WILL BE SETUP IN THE 3RD TEMPLE.

I BELIEVE THIS WILL HAPPEN ON A FRIDAY IN THE FUTURE.BECAUSE ISLAM ALMOST ALWAYS GETS RIALED UP ON FRIDAYS AFTER THEIR FRIDAY MOSQUE VISITS AND SERMONS.THEN THEY GO AFTER ISRAELIS OR WHOEVER TO GET THEM.AND SINCE I BELIEVE ISLAM AND THE WORLD DICTATOR WILL BE WORKING CLOSELY TOGETHER DURING THIS TIME.IT WILL MOST LIKELY BE A FRIDAY THAT THIS FUTURE PROPHECY HAPPENS ON.AND BY THE VERSE ITSELF.IT TELLS ISRAELIS TO PRAY IT WILL NOT BE ON A SABBATH (FRI EVENING 6pm-SAT EVENING 6pm) OR IN THE WINTER.I MYSELF BELIEVE IT WILL BE IN THE SPRING ON A FRIDAY WHEN PASSOVER IS ON THE JEWISH CALENDER.AND IT HAS TO BE ON OR AFTER PASSOVER.BECAUSE JESUS DIED ON PASSOVER AND THE WORLD DICTATOR HAS TO HAVE HIS FALSE RESURRECTION (DEATH)-COME BACK TO LIFE 3 DAYS AFTER LIKE JESUS LITERALLY DID AND THEN THE DICTATOR STOPS THE SACRIFICES BEING DONE IN THE 3RD TEMPLE BY THE ISRAELIS.HE THEN IS REVEALED TO ISRAEL THAT HE HAS NOT BEEN THEIR MESSIAH FOR THE FIRST 3 AND A HALF YEARS OF THE PEACE TREATY OR TRIBULATION PERIOD.BUT A FALSE MESSIAH.THE DICTATOR THEN SETS UP A ROBOT OF HIMSELF IN THE 3RD TEMPLE AND HE HIMSELF ALSO SITS IN THAT 3RD TEMPLE CLAIMING HE IS GOD.AND THIS IS WHEN THE ABOVE VERSES COME TO PASS.AND SINCE THIS DICTATOR HAD THE FALSE RESURRECTION FROM SATAN.THE WORLD WILL BELIEVE HE IS GOD.WHEN HE SITS IN THE 3RD TEMPLE CLAIMING TO BE GOD.AND HE IS GIVIN WORLD CONTROL AFTER THIS EVENT.SO THE ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT OR NEW WORLD ORDER WILL ONLY LAST FOR A TOTAL OF THE LAST 3 1/2 YEARS OF THE 7 YEAR PEACE TREATY SIGNING OR TRIBULATION PERIOD.THIS IS MY TAKE BY THE BIBLE WHAT HAPPENS.NO CONSPIRACY THEORIES HERE.I JUST TAKE THE PROPHECIES LITERAL-I DON'T SPIRITUALIZE THEM.AND IF YOU KNOW PROPHECY AT ALL.YOU KNOW THIS IS PROBABLY THE WAY IT WILL COME ABOUT.

OH AND OF COURSE THE FALSE RELIGIOUS LEADER AT THAT TIME FROM THE VATICAN WILL OVIOUSLY BE ENCOURAGING THE PEOPLE TO SET UP THIS ROBOT OF THE DICTATOR IN THE 3RD TEMPLE AFTER HE HAS THIS FALSE RESURRECTION. AND HE (FALSE RELIGIOUS LEADER) WILL ALSO BE ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO LET THIS LEADER HAVE WORLD CONTROL AS THE BIBLE SAYS THE WORLD DICTATOR AND FALSE PROPHET WILL BE WORKING CLOSELY TOGETHER.SO CLOSELY THAT IT WILL BE A HAND IN GLOVE RELATIONSHIP.AND WHO KNOWS-THEY MIGHT BOTH BE HOMOSEXUALS.BECAUSE THE BIBLE DOES MENTION.THE WORLD DICTATOR WILL BE A WARMONGER AND NOT DESIRE WOMEN.

DANIEL 11:37
37 Neither shall he (world dictator) regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.

In show of military might, Israel drills long-range air force attack

Week after warning from the PM about acting alone against Iran, IAF runs — and publicizes — midair refueling exercises and simulated strike on distant target

By Gavriel Fiske October 10, 2013, 9:43 pm 9-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

The exercises, which included midair refueling, exceptionally long-distance coordinated strikes, and dogfights, were carried out over Greek waters, according to a Channel 10 report. The station noted that the video of the exercises released Thursday by the IAF marked the first time the military had made such a clip publicly available.“The Israeli message was clear,” the channel said, noting the announcement’s proximity to next week’s round of talks between world powers and Iran in Geneva. “Here is an attempt to show the world that, a moment before the talks, Israel is not giving up its military option.”A commander who took part in the exercises “explained that challenges stemming from these long-range flights continue as the plane moves further from its point of origin. These challenges include difficult weather conditions, unfamiliar terrain and threats that could emerge during the flight,” according to the official IDF blog, which noted that “long-range flying demands several hours of concentration and exceptional physical preparation.”

The IAF, which “plays a central role in carrying out Israel’s military option if necessary… is exercising and strengthening its range of capabilities through long-range flights as well as other exercises,” the IDF said, though it also noted that the exercises were “no different from training exercises conducted in the past few years.”The drill over Greek waters was the latest in a series of joint military exercises between Jerusalem and Athens. The navies of Israel, Greece and the US in March held a two-week joint military exercise for the third year in a row. There was no immediate indication, however, that the exercises — announced Thursday — involved Greek military forces.Israel has threatened to strike Iran’s nuclear production facilities if the Islamic Republic develops the ability to create a nuclear weapon. An aerial attack over such a long range — close to 1,000 miles as the crow flies — would necessitate midair refueling. In 1981, the IAF carried out a long-range airstrike to destroy the Osirak nuclear reactor in Iraq.

Yaalon in F-35-Lockheed Martin

Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon visited Thursday at the assembly line where F-35 stealth jets are being built, at the Lockheed Martin factory in Texas.The minister was hosted by Lockheed Martin's president, Marillyn Hewson. In the course of the tour, he was briefed by senior officials in Lockheed Martin about the firm and about the progress of the F-35 project.At the assembly line, he received detailed explanations about the different components of the F-35."As someone who used to jump so many times from Lockheed Martin Hercules planes in paratroop exercises, and after two days of meetings in the US, I wanted to see the real thing,” Yaalon said. “The F-35 is a cornerstone in building the force of the IAF and IDF.”"This is a meaningful event for us,” he added. “Unfortunately, we are experienced at military operations because we have no choice but to defend ourselves, and that is why I think we are lucky to have an ally like the United States and to enjoy the capabilities of Lockheed Martin.

"We have enjoyed the F-16 over the years, and I think there is a great future for the Israeli Air Force with the unique capabilities that the F-35 brings with it,” he added. “We are impatiently expecting to receive this jet, which was designed with knowledge and spirit, and will give the IAF great operative abilities.”

Rights group accuses Syrian rebels of war crimes

Human Rights Watch says opposition fighters killed 190 civilians during August offensive in Latakia area

By AP October 11, 2013, 9:00 am 0-The Times of Israel

UN war crimes investigators have accused both sides in Syria’s civil war, now in its third year, of wrongdoing, though they said earlier this year that the scale and intensity of rebel abuses hasn’t reached that of the regime.The new allegations of rebel abuses come at a time when the regime is regaining some international legitimacy because of its apparent cooperation with an internationally mandated program to destroy Syria’s chemical weapons stockpile by mid-2014.Lama Fakih of Human Rights Watch said the rebel abuses in Latakia “certainly amount to war crimes,” and may even rise to the level of crimes against humanity.

The group said more than 20 rebel groups participated in the Latakia offensive.Five groups, including two linked to al-Qaeda and others with jihadi leanings, led the campaign, which appeared to have been funded in part by private donations raised in the Persian Gulf, the report said.Human Rights Watch appealed to the Gulf states to crack down on such money transfers. It also urged Turkey, a rear base for many rebel groups, to prosecute those linked to war crimes and restrict the flow of weapons and fighters. The Western-backed Syrian opposition must cut ties with the groups that led the Latakia offensive, the report said.Most of the alleged attacks on civilians occurred on August 4, said the group. The campaign began with rebel fighters seizing three regime posts and then the villages. After the regime positions fell, no pro-government troops were left in the Alawite villages. It took government forces two weeks to recapture all the villages.

Human Rights Watch said at least 67 of the 190 civilians slain by the rebels were killed at close range or while trying to flee. There are signs that most of the others were also killed intentionally or indiscriminately, but more investigation is needed, the group said.The rebels seized more than 200 civilians from the Alawite villages, most of them women and children, and demanded to trade the hostages for prisoners held by the regime.The HRW report said the rebel groups that led the offensive included Jabhat al-Nusra and the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, both linked to al-Qaida; Ahrar al-Sham; Jaish al-Muhajireen wal-Ansar; and Suqqor al-Izz.

Goodbye Brotherhood, hello military dictatorship

El-Sissi may emerge as a not-so-benevolent dictator, a columnist warns as the Muslim Brotherhood is disbanded in Egypt

By Elhanan Miller October 9, 2013, 3:30 pm 1-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

Saudi-Egyptian relations top the headlines of Arab newspapers on Wednesday, following the first foreign visit of Egyptian interim President Adly Mansour to Saudi Arabia this week.“Saudi Crown Prince: Egypt is in safe hands, and its people have shown us they can overcome their crises,” reads the headline of Saudi-owned daily A-Sharq Al-Awsat, featuring a photo of Mansour standing next to Crown Prince Salman bin Abdulaziz.The daily then quotes words of praise by King Abdullah II of Jordan, Mansour’s second destination.Khalid bin Sultan, a Saudi prince responsible for water, tells London-based daily Al-Hayat that “water is much more important than oil.”Speaking at an international conference on water in Budapest, Hungary, bin Sultan said that Saudi Arabia has the scarcest water resources in the region and is therefore deeply interested in water issues.“We believe that the greatest danger threatening Saudi Arabia in the future will be lack of water,” the prince said.Meanwhile in Egypt, domestic unrest continues to foment with partisan media covering events in typically shrill tones following a government decision to withdraw the license from the Muslim Brotherhood as a civil society organization.“Egypt’s former Mufti supports the killing of protesters,” reads the headline of a TV reports in Al-Jazeera, a pro-brotherhood news channel based in Qatar.The report features video excerpts from a speech delivered by former top cleric Ali Gomaa in which he calls for shooting protesters, a speech delivered in the presence of top military commander and defense minister Abdel Fattah el-Sissi.“Strike at them, and do not sacrifice your soldiers for those heretics,” Gomaa told the audience of military and police officers.Al-Ahram, Egypt’s establishment daily, reports that the minister of social welfare has decided to “dissolve the Muslim Brotherhood association completely.”

Meanwhile, Egyptian columnist Mohammed Shuman expresses concern over the mass popularity enjoyed by General el-Sissi among the Egyptian public.“The place of the army in Egypt’s history, nostalgia for a benevolent dictator, the search for security and stability and the power of the state, all these elements are pushing most Egyptians to accept Field Marshal Abdel Fattah el-Sissi as president. As a result, any possibility for a civilian candidate or one with military credentials is almost nil; it is certain that [El-Sissi] is able to take the first round of the presidential race with a large margin,” he writes Wednesday in Al-Hayat.

“The public and the majority of political and intellectual elites support a general who has not announced his intention to run for office, and has not presented a political program nor outlined his economic or political vision for Egypt’s future. Most Egyptians do not know much about el-Sissi’s personality or his history, yet they support him for president. This means that the majority is still far from the minimum bar of democratic values … no doubt this will lead to the emergence of a dictator who will not necessarily be benevolent.”

A-Sharq Al-Awsat columnist Abdul Rahman Rashed remarks on the failure of the Muslim Brotherhood to win over the sympathy of Arab countries in their struggle for legitimacy.“The Brotherhood tried and failed to have Arab and international public opinion identify with them. They have nothing left but Qatar in the Arab world, losing most Western countries which supported them at first.”“It is clear that the current Egyptian regime has decided to retaliate against the Brotherhood forcefully, using political and security propaganda against them and besieging the movement financially. Clearly, the Brotherhood has not recovered from the shock of the June 30 demonstrations which led to its easy ouster with wide popular support. In the absence of the Brotherhood, the current government is quickly finalizing the constitution, holding elections, and taking the presidency for the coming four years.”

Netanyahu Tells West: Don't Say I didn't Warn You

European media line up to hear the Israeli PM warn the West not to be fooled by Iranian diplomacy as it continues to enrich uranium -By Adam Ross-First Publish: 10/10/2013, 8:16 PM-ISRAELNNEWS

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLkPpsiXb6o

Israel's Prime Minster, Binyamin Netanyahu, has made a sweep of influential European media, giving numerous interviews and warning the West not to allow Iran to continue to enrich uranium."Don't say I didn't warn you," he told one interviewer, if loosening sanctions on Iran leads to the collapse of the West's bargaining position vis-a-vis the Islamic Republic.Iran is set to engage the West with talks in Geneva next week.Netanyahu spoke to the Financial Times and Sky TV in Britain, Le Monde and the France 24 network in France, and Frankfurter Allgemeine and the ARD network in Germany.The P5+1 talks, set to be held in Geneva next week, will see Iran meeting with delegates from the US, Russia, Britain, France, China and Germany in a bid to see the crippling sanctions against it loosened, in return for compromises on the country's uranium enrichment, which Israel and the US say is intended to produce a nuclear weapon.
Netanyahu has said that the steps Iran is likely to propose are not enough, calling for a total halt to enrichment."When a murderous regime deals with soft diplomacy all the while continuing to gather strength, we need to stop it, immediately," he told the cameras, adding that stopping an evil regime while it was still possible to do so, was "the central lesson of the twentieth century."Directing his words to the upcoming Geneva talks, Netanyahu emphasized "if we weaken the sanctions, the sanctions will collapse." The West has the upper hand and had to show resilience, he insisted. "Don't say I didn't warn you," he told one interviewer, adding, that the Iranian threat was just as relevant to Europe as it was to Israel."Don't let them have enrichment, Be tough, be strong, be consistent," he exhorted viewers, accusing Iran of having "committed acts of terror in five continents and 25 cities in the last few years."Iran has violated every single security council resolution to stop enrichment," Netanyahu told media.This round of interviews follows a similar media blitz by Netanyahu in the US ten days ago, in which he spoke on a number of TV shows, warning them that Iranian president Hassan Rouhani was lulling the West into a false sense of security whilst continuing to enrich uranium amid a calm air of diplomacy.Netanyahu's list of recent media appearances also included a first time interview for the BBC's Farsi speaking channel in which he warned Iranians that a pursuit of nuclear weapons would not lead to prosperity but would rather spell disaster for all Iranians.

PM tells Europe: If Iran sanctions are eased, they will collapse

In a blitz of interviews to the European media ahead of new nuclear talks, Netanyahu warns Tehran has ‘vast ambitions and limitless aggression’

By Haviv Rettig Gur October 10, 2013, 7:20 pm 7-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

If the international community lifts sanctions on Iran without ensuring the guaranteed end to uranium enrichment, Europe and the rest of the world will face hundreds of nuclear weapons in the hands of a “murderous” regime, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a series of interviews with European media outlets Thursday.“When a murderous regime engages in soft diplomacy and uses calming words of peace, but nevertheless continues to acquire immense power — it must be stopped, immediately,” Netanyahu said in the interviews, according to quotes provided by the Prime Minister’s Office on Thursday.“This is the central lesson of the 20th century. It’s also the central lesson of North Korea. If [the Iranian regime] is not stopped immediately, there won’t be just two bombs pointed toward you [the Europeans], but 200. Stop it now while you’re in a strong position to do so,” he exhorted.The interviews, timed ahead of next week’s new round of talks in Geneva between the P5+1 powers and Iran over its rogue nuclear program, were conducted with Germany’s Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and ARD TV, France’s Le Monde and France 24, and the UK’s Financial Times and Sky TV.“I have in my office two pictures,” Netanyahu said. “The first is of [Theodor] Herzl, the founder of the Zionist movement, who warned of the rise of an anti-Semitism that would annihilate European Jewry. The second picture is of [Winston] Churchill, and it’s there because he said: ‘Don’t let the Nazis arm. Don’t give immense power to an inflexible, extremist regime.’ And he was right. We can learn a lesson from him.”Netanyahu urged the Europeans to “be strict, be strong, be consistent. The Iranian regime has vast ambitions and limitless aggression. It is an active player in the mass-murder in Syria. It enables [the Syrian civil war] to happen through its support of Assad. It conducts terror acts across five continents, in 25 cities over the last three years. It violates every decision of the [UN] Security Council related to ending enrichment.”Netanyahu characterized the Iranian regime’s recent overtures to the West as an effort to continue enrichment, while offering only “tactical, cosmetic concessions.”“If the sanctions are eased,” he warned, “they will collapse. [Tehran] will get everything they want and we, as a collective, will get nothing.”

He added: “Don’t tell me I didn’t warn you. It’s important to emphasize that this isn’t an Israeli issue. It’s also your concern.”The prime minister concluded with a hint at possible Israeli action to stop the Iranian nuclear program. “The Jewish people have traveled a 4,000-year journey,” he said. The Jews’ enemies “tried to destroy us again and again, but failed. We won’t allow men such as the ayatollahs to succeed.”

In recent weeks, Iran has begun negotiating directly with the US over its nuclear program and severe sanctions imposed by Western powers. On Wednesday, The Wall Street Journal reported Iran’s offer to limit its production of nuclear fuel in exchange for an easing of international sanctions. It is expected to proffer its deal at a meeting next week with the P5+1 in Geneva. Late Wednesday, Israeli TV reported that the US and Iran were making significant progress toward a deal that would aim to keep Iran two to three years from a nuclear weapons capability.Netanyahu’s Iran policy enjoys widespread support among Jewish Israelis, who distrust the new diplomatic warming between Tehran and the West, according to the latest Israel Democracy Institute Peace Index. The poll found broad distrust of US President Barack Obama’s promise to keep Iran from a bomb “at all cost.”The study, conducted in late September and early October, found that 80% of Jewish Israelis did not believe Iranian President Hassan Rouhani’s recent speech before the UN General Assembly signaled a moderating of Tehran’s nuclear policy, but was merely a change in rhetoric. Only 14% believed it was sincere. Among Arab Israelis, 47% believed it marked a change in policy and 42% thought it was only rhetoric.

Iran cancels annual anti-Zionism conference

Latest gesture from regime intent on changing its public image garners criticism from hardliners, says report

By Yoel Goldman October 11, 2013, 1:22 am 5-tHE tIMES OF iSRAEL

Hardliners in Iran blasted the decision, which they see as another concession on the part of the new government. Iran’s recently elected president, Hassan Rouhani, has made a concerted effort to put a new face on the regime in Tehran. This after eight years of his Holocaust-denying predecessor, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.Websites sympathetic to organizers of the conference displayed strings of angry comments, according to the British report: “Have our leaders given in so much to the world that are even afraid of a conference that might hurt Mr Obama’s feelings?” read one post. ”The latest piece from our government’s show of capitulation,” read another.The event was supposed to feature a former US senator, as well as 63 “overseas contributors,” said the British daily.In the US last week and in Israel this week, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been speaking repeatedly to US, European and even Farsi-language media outlets, warning of Iran’s and Rouhani’s duplicity regarding the nuclear issue, and urging the international community not to lift sanctions unless or until Iran is stripped of its “military nuclear” capabilities.If sanctions on Iran are removed without ensuring a guaranteed end to uranium enrichment, Europe and the rest of the world will face hundreds of nuclear weapons in the hands of a “murderous” regime, Netanyahu said in a series of interviews with European media outlets Thursday.“When a murderous regime engages in soft diplomacy and uses calming words of peace, but nevertheless continues to acquire immense power — it must be stopped, immediately,” Netanyahu said, according to quotes provided by the Prime Minister’s Office.“This is the central lesson of the 20th century. It’s also the central lesson of North Korea. If [the Iranian regime] is not stopped immediately, there won’t be just two bombs pointed toward you [the Europeans], but 200.

MEPs approve EU border surveillance system

10.10.13 @ 14:45

By Nikolaj Nielsen

BRUSSELS - MEPs on Thursday (10 October) gave the green light to a new European Border Surveillance system, Eurosur, due to go live early in December.The system is meant to co-ordinate border surveillance among member states through so-called national co-ordination centres.Each contact point would feed near-live data streams directly to the EU border agency, Frontex.Frontex in turn would then issue alerts when necessary.The European Commission says the system is needed to better inform national border control authorities of attempts by people to cross the Mediterranean.Thousands are estimated to have died in recent years as they seek to come to Europe. Last year alone, over 1,500 are known to have perished or gone missing, according to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees.Last week, around 300 died a kilometre off the Italian island of Lampedusa when their boat caught fire and sunk.Critics say the real purpose behind EU border surveillance plans is to stop the flow of irregular migrants and asylum seekers from ever reaching the coastlines in the first place. And that saving lives is secondary.The current Eurosur text puts emphasis on preventing irregular migration but adds that it also should "contribute" to the protection and saving of lives at sea.The Greens, who campaigned for a stronger emphasis on saving lives, say this is not enough.“The clear purpose of Eurosur is fighting irregular migration,” German Green Ska Keller told this website on Wednesday (9 October).She pointed out that the regulation says member states can obtain additional "capacities" to fight irregular migration but not to save lives.“Co-operation only happens for fighting irregular migration, not for saving lives at sea,” she said.The policy provides no requirement for member states to take proactive steps to improve the rescue of shipwrecked refugees.She noted that the Mediterranean already ranks amongst the world’s most watched seas.Keller says the EU needs to allow people to enter legally with a humanitarian visa in order to stop the trafficking and deaths.“It’s astonishing that Europe still doesn’t have any legal ways for normal immigration, you only have the blue card for the highly qualified,” she noted.The parliament’s lead negotiation on Eurosur, Dutch liberal Jan Mulder, called the Green’s amendments "superfluous."“Nobody is against it [saving lives]. It is in several places in the text,” he told reporters in Strasbourg.A clause added in the text will also allow non-Schengen members UK and Ireland to participate.He noted that it would still be up to member states to carry out the rescue operations.
Other EU agencies like the European Maritime Safety Agency would also feed Frontex data on any suspicious activities, he said.Such agencies, Frontex told EUobserver, already provide them with data feeds as a sort of moral obligation. A border control plane that spots a boat dumping oil into the sea, for instance, is not mandated to alert it but will.Bulgaria, Estonia, Greece, Spain, France, Croatia, Italy, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Slovakia and Finland will start using Eurosur on 2 December 2013.Other member states will follow suit on 1 December 2014.

EU fears economic migrants from Egypt

Today @ 09:26-OCT 11,13

By Andrew Rettman

BRUSSELS - EU countries are concerned that a potential economic collapse in Egypt could prompt a new surge in migration from north Africa to Mediterranean EU states.Diplomats on the Union's Political and Security Committee (PSC) discussed the scenario at a meeting in Brussels earlier this week."It's a country of almost 90 million people on the EU's southern fringe. If things keep getting worse, where do you think that they will go? It won't be to other places in Africa, or to Scandinavia, it will be places like Italy or Greece," a diplomatic contact told EUobserver.The US on Wednesday (9 October) suspended parts of a $1.3 billion military aid programme to Egypt due to its violent crackdown on supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood.The EU is still undecided whether to keep paying aid.Its foreign affairs chief, Catherine Ashton, on 3 October visited Cairo to speak with its de facto military ruler, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, and with brotherhood chiefs.
She called for "inclusiveness, to ensure that the political future of Egypt belongs to the Egyptian people."
Earlier this week, she said she is "deeply concerned" by the latest round of violence, in which some 50 street protesters and 10 security officers lost their lives.The EU believes the Egyptian economy will not recover unless there is a political solution to the army-brotherhood confrontation.But speakers at the PSC meeting noted the EU does not have much influence over events: For their part, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have pledged $12 billion in aid with no strings attached.Meanwhile, EU ideas on how to help are thin on the ground.Greece - a frontline country in terms of north African migrants - told the PSC the EU could send a mission to train Egyptian police in riot control.But it went down badly, amid concern the EU could be seen as helping the crackdown.According to the World Bank, Egypt's GDP has nosedived since the 2011 revolution which brought down Hosni Mubarak.It says in its current analysis that: "Low growth rates pose a danger to mounting social frustrations, as they will not suffice to deliver the needed jobs and opportunities."At the same time, el-Sisi is having a potentially explosive impact on Gaza.The Palestinian enclave, sealed off by Israel, depends on smugglers in the Sinai desert to bring in basic goods via tunnels on the Egyptian border.Under the former Muslim Brotherhood government, EU diplomats and Egyptian intelligence officers talked with Bedouin groups in the Sinai to try reduce arms supplies to Gaza. They even considered paying the smugglers to reduce weapons traffic.But el-Sisi's forces have destroyed most of the tunnels and are waging war on Sinai militants instead."If things don't change, we will have mass unrest in Gaza before the end of the year," the EU diplomatic contact said.
