State suspects security breach by ousted missile defense chief-Yair Ramati, fired Sunday for holding classified documents at home, reportedly held intel on his phone, showed it to others-By Times of Israel staff December 28, 2015, 9:43 pm

The Defense Ministry is investigating a possible security breach of its missile defense program, after the respected head of the program was booted from his post amid allegations that he improperly maintained state secrets.According to a report by Channel 2, Yair Ramati — who was responsible for developing Israel’s Iron Dome, David’s Sling and Arrow missile defense systems — may have inadvertently “leaked” the classified information he held on his home computer. Ramati also held the secret information on his cell phone, and is said to have shown the documents to people who were not authorized to see it, the TV channel reported.Sources in the Defense Ministry told the TV station that Ramati’s actions “damaged Israel’s security.”Channel 2 said he had also kept classified material on his mobile phone and showed it to others.Underlining the severity of Ramati’s actions, the ministry said that Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon had approved his termination. “It went straight to the defense minister before such a dramatic and significant decision was made,” sources said.Channel 10 news reported that Ramati “was warned twice” before he was fired, while Haaretz reported that the Defense Ministry was tracking his actions for more than a month without his knowledge before he was shown the door.It said there was no suggestion that Ramati had deliberately done anything to harm Israeli interests.Officials gave no specific information as to what Ramati did to prompt his dismissal. However, media reports suggested he was found to have classified documents on his personal computer.There was no comment from Ramati.The surprise move came after a month that saw two new successes in the missile programs under Ramati’s purview.On December 10, the Arrow 3 interballistic missile defense system passed its first full test, downing a target in space. The system is slated to replace the Arrow 2 defense array.A week later, Ramati announced that the David’s Sling system, meant to protect against medium-range threats, had finished the testing phase and would begin to be deployed by the Israeli Air Force.Ramati has worked on Israel’s missile program since 1981, after he left the military. He headed the Homa missile defense directorate within the Defense Ministry since 2012.In 2003, he won the Israel Defense Prize for work in developing the Arrow 2 program.

To skirt terror, Birthright trades exotic markets for malls-Heavy travel restrictions in Jerusalem disappoint participants, but the possibility of violence demands adaptation-By Judah Ari Gross December 28, 2015, 10:30 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

Throughout the coming weeks, the streets of Israel will fill with Jewish American college students and young adults, visiting the Holy Land on Taglit-Birthright Israel trips.But as terror attacks continue, those streets have become increasingly dangerous. Bus stops, public markets and commercial areas have all been the sites of stabbings, car-rammings and shootings since the current iteration of violence began earlier this fall.As a result, Taglit-Birthright severely limited its participants during their stop in Jerusalem, canceling visits to the capital’s Ben Yehuda Street pedestrian mall and Mahane Yehuda market, both of which have been common sites for terror attacks over the years.Though most of the participants have never been to Israel before and therefore have no way to compare their experience, there is still a sense of dissatisfaction among the groups in light of these changes, according to a staff member for one of the groups who asked not to be named.“Our students weren’t allowed to go to the shuk, which they were incredibly disappointed about,” the staff member said, using the Hebrew word for the market. “They knew that they were missing out on something that was supposed to be a part of the birthright experience.”The trips’ regular night out in the downtown area was also changed to a night in either Jerusalem’s Cinema City movie theater or one of its shopping malls.“Taking them to Cinema City was a crazy, crazy letdown. They had to wait in ridiculously long lines for food because there were so many Birthright trips there,” the staff member said.But the changes to the groups’ itineraries were not baseless, the Taglit-Birthright staffer said. The ongoing violence in Jerusalem and the rest of Israel is a legitimate source of concern for participants and their families back in the United States.In loco parentis, the university students and young adults who travel to Israel are under the watchful eyes of their program leaders, who must be mindful of the threat of attack but still provide an educational and enjoyable experience for participants.“All of us have been affected by the security situation in Jerusalem. Obviously, in my perspective it’s for the best because I want my participants to be safe,” the staff member said.Earlier this month, the US State Department even issued a travel warning for Israel, due to the frequency of Palestinian terror attacks, which are occurring at a rate unseen in over a decade.“The security situation can change day to day, depending on the political situation, recent events, and geographic area,” the warning said. “A rise in political tensions and violence in Jerusalem and the West Bank has resulted in injuries to and deaths of US citizens.”One American student, Ezra Schwartz, spending a year a yeshiva in Israel between high school and university, was killed in the ongoing violence that has rocked Israel since October 1, when Naama and Eitam Henkin at the hands of a terror cell that gunned them down in their car in the West Bank while the couple’s four children were in the backseat.Schwartz was shot and killed by a Palestinian terrorist in late November while riding in an un-armored bus after a visit to a settlement outpost in the West Bank. His death has already raised concerns over the security protocols of some international programs in Israel, principally why the bus he was traveling in was not bulletproof in light of the high chance of a terror attack in the West Bank. Fortunately, the trip providers are accustomed to running their programs through terror waves and rocket fire and plan accordingly.For multiple reasons, both security-related and political, Taglit-Birthright trips do not travel beyond the Green Line, Israel’s pre-1967 border, into the West Bank or into East Jerusalem, save for a visit to the Western Wall.As the trips are just 10 days long, the participants are rarely set loose on their own, and even during free nights when participants are allowed to explore, they are accompanied by a staff member and a guard, a Birthright Israel spokeswoman said.However, if participants opt to remain in Israel after the trip, they take responsibility for their own safety, the spokeswoman added.As a matter of course, the groups’ itineraries are approved each day by the Education Ministry’s security department. If needed, those schedules can be changed, as happened with this winter’s round of Taglit-Birthright trips.The last time that happened, during the 2014 Gaza conflict, when large swaths of Israel were under rocket fire, Taglit-Birthright shifted its itineraries to avoid the south of the country and focus more on northern and central Israel.“None of our trips even heard a rocket siren,” the spokeswoman boasted.But the ongoing terror wave has not yet forced Birthright to change any of the proposed trip itineraries, as their plans already take a certain threat of violence for granted. “We’re ready for everything,” the spokeswoman said.“We’ve never had any security issues, and we’ve had over 500,000 participants,” she added.

IDF chief pledges ‘harsh’ response to Hezbollah threats-Senior Israeli official said to confirm airstrike on shipment of advanced Russian-made missiles bound for Lebanese militia-By Judah Ari Gross December 28, 2015, 9:24 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

In response to a threat of an imminent attack on Israel by Hezbollah, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Gadi Eisenkot fired back at the terror group Monday, promising swift retaliation and “harsh results.”Eisenkot warned the Iran-backed Lebanese militia that “we stand ready for every challenge.” His remarks followed a speech Sunday night by Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, who vowed revenge for the alleged Israel Defense Forces airstrike that killed terrorist Samir Kuntar last week.“The retaliation for Samir’s assassination will inevitably come,” regardless of the “repercussions,” Nasrallah said, in a lengthy televised address marking a week since the death of Kuntar, according to a translation by Lebanese news site Naharnet.In his speech Monday, Eisenkot admitted that Israel was now in a “complex defense reality,” but said the IDF was prepared to counter any threat.“Even across our borders, in the face of the threats heard in the north, we stand ready for every challenge. And as we’ve proven in the past, we know how to find those who wish us ill. Our enemies know that if they try to disturb the security of Israel — they will be faced with harsh results,” the army chief said, during a ceremony celebrating the army’s top units for 2015 held in Gelilot, outside of Tel Aviv.Kuntar shocked the Israeli public in 1979 when he killed 31-year-old Danny Haran in front of his four-year-old daughter Einat, before killing her by bashing her head with the butt of his rifle, in a terror raid on the northern Israeli town of Nahariya. During the attack, Danny’s wife, Smadar, hid with their second daughter. But as she attempted to keep the little girl quiet by covering her mouth, she accidentally suffocated the two-year-old.Kuntar was released in 2008 as part of an exchange for the bodies of two Israeli soldiers, being held by Hezbollah.Eisenkot did not refer to the terrorist group by name, instead only alluded to it as a threat from the north. The IDF has not taken credit for the airstrike that killed Kuntar, though Israeli officials have approved of the result, claiming that the terrorist was planning fresh attacks against the Jewish state.The strike against Kuntar, which also killed some eight other operatives, was the latest in a string of alleged Israeli actions in Lebanon and Syria in recent years.Although officials rarely acknowledge the scope of its actions in Syria, or admit to specific strikes, one official on Monday reportedly confirmed that the Israeli Air Force had struck a Syrian shipment of advanced Russian-made missiles bound for Hezbollah“We won’t allow such things,” Foreign Ministry Director Dore Gold was quoted as saying in an interview with the Saudi newspaper Elaph. “Israel won’t allow damage to its sovereignty and won’t allow advanced Russian anti-aircraft weapons, SA-22 missiles, which can threaten our aerial supremacy, to be transferred to Lebanon.”Shortly after the Elaph report came out, the Foreign Ministry denied that Gold had admitted to the strike. “In the interview with the Saudi newspaper, Dori Gold clarified that Israel won’t allow the transfer of game-changing weapons to Hezbollah and won’t let it be fired upon from Syria,” the ministry said in a statement.

Haredi MKs stay away as first openly gay Likud MK sworn in-In maiden speech, Amir Ohana voices identification with downtrodden in Israel; Netanyahu ‘proud’ to have him on board-By Marissa Newman December 28, 2015, 10:03 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

MK Amir Ohana, the Likud party’s first openly gay lawmaker, was sworn in to the Knesset on Monday afternoon.Ultra-Orthodox lawmakers skipped the ceremony, with a source in the United Torah Judaism party quoted by Channel 2 as saying that they plan to “ignore him, today and altogether.”In his opening remarks to the Knesset plenum, Ohana, who replaces former interior minister Silvan Shalom, identified himself as a “Jew, Israeli, Mizrahi, homosexual, a Likud member, a security buff, a liberal and a man of the free market,” in no particular order.When people cry “Death to the Jews,” Ohana said, using the Arabic phrase, “I am a Jew first.“When they shoot, boycott, label, and expel — I am a settler. When they try to blur cultures, to minimize and ignore — I am Mizrahi. When they defame IDF soldiers and security forces — I am a soldier,” said Ohana. In the latter example, the fresh MK was referring to the recent controversy over the Breaking the Silence NGO, which documents alleged abuses by IDF soldiers.Ohana also sided with the residents of south Tel Aviv, who have long complained about the influx of African migrants from Sudan and Eritrea.“When entire neighborhoods are not as they were, and the elderly are forced to live out the remainder of their lives in fear — I am a south Tel Aviv resident. And when the outside appearance of a man is considered a good reason to hate him, to distance him from neighborhoods and employment — I am an ultra-Orthodox Jew who is not afraid,” he added.“When a baby is burned with his relatives, dammit, I’m with you, brothers,” Ohana said, finishing his sentence in Arabic. Ohana was referring to the fatal Duma firebombing in July, in which three members of the Palestinian Dawabsha family were killed.“And when a young girl is stabbed to death at a parade of love and tolerance — I am gay,” he concluded, referring to the murder of Shira Banki in the Jerusalem Gay Pride Parade last summer.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed Ohana to the Knesset, and said he thinks “he will be an excellent MK and a bridge between the various elements of the public.” Alluding to Ohana’s sexual orientation, he added that he was “proud” to have him in parliament.Ohana replaced Shalom, the erstwhile interior minister, in the Knesset after the longtime lawmaker resigned last week in the wake of over a dozen sexual harassment complaints.Ohana is a lawyer by training, who is also a major in the reserves and a veteran of the Shin Bet domestic security service.

Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem greeted in Bethlehem by hail of stones-PA reportedly arrests 16 ‘Salafi radicals’ who were planning to carry out terror attack against tourists celebrating Christmas-By Times of Israel staff December 25, 2015, 7:18 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

The car taking Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem Fouad Twal, head of the Catholic Church in the Holy Land, was struck Friday, Christmas Day, in Bethlehem by rocks thrown by Palestinian rioters.None of the passengers in the patriarch’s vehicle was injured in the incident, but his car sustained damage, according to a Ynet news report.Clashes between Israeli security forces and Palestinian demonstrators erupted following his departure from the city, known as the birthplace of Jesus, the news site said.Meanwhile, Palestinian security forces said Friday that they arrested two suspected Islamic radicals for burning a Christmas tree in the northern West Bank.A Palestinian security officer said Friday the suspects set fire Wednesday to the tree in Zababdeh, a village near Jenin populated mainly by Christians. The officer spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to speak to reporters.He said both suspects were under investigation for possible ties to extremist Islamist groups.He also said Palestinian security forces arrested Wednesday about a dozen suspected radical Islamists in Bethlehem.A report in the Palestinian Ma’an news agency put the number of detainees at 16. According to the report, the group are Salafi radicals who were preparing to carry out a terror attack against Western tourists arriving in Bethlehem to celebrate Christmas there.The report did not identify the detainees as being affiliated with any known jihadist groups.A report in the Hebrew-language daily Ma’ariv said that senior PA officials met in Bethlehem earlier this week in order to formulate a strategy against the threat posed by extremists to the Christian celebrations in the city.At least four people are being held in detention without trial in Bethlehem and four others, supporters of Islamic State, were arrested elsewhere in the West Bank. It was not clear where eight other people were being held.On Thursday night, PA President Mahmoud Abbas and the authority’s prime minister, Rami Hamdallah, participated in a midnight mass at Bethlehem’s Church of the Nativity, Ma’an reported.In a statement released by his office before the visit, Abbas praised Palestinian Christians for their role in creating a “rich and diverse society.”“ This year, we witnessed more churches around the world supporting the call for recognition of the State of Palestine, and an increasing number of Christian groups campaigning to divest from companies that profit from the Israeli occupation of our land,” Abbas said.The Christian Palestinian population dwindled significantly over the past years. Christians today make only 2 percent of the Palestinian population in the West Bank.AP contributed to this report.

Russia reportedly to begin delivery of S-300 to Iran in coming weeks-First shipment to be delivered by February; Iranian technicians to undergo 4-month training course at Russian base-By Times of Israel staff December 25, 2015, 6:04 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

Russia will begin delivering the S-300 anti-aircraft missile defense system to Iran next month, a Russian news agency reported on Friday.“The process of delivery of the first regiment of the S-300PMU-2 air defense systems is planned to begin in January and to be completed in February,” an unnamed source was quoted by TASS as saying.“Iran is due to receive the second regiment of these systems in August or September 2016,” the source said, adding that “Russia will thus fulfill its obligations” to Iran.Some 80 Iranian specialists will travel to the Mozhaisky Military Space Academy to train on using the system for four months as part of the contract.The first regiment of S-300 system was sent to the Kapustin Yar range in southern Russia, near the border with Kazakhstan in September, to be tested. From there, they will arrive at the port of shipment in the Russian part of the Caspian Sea from where they will be delivered to Iran by maritime transport, Russian officials said.Iran signed an $800 million deal with Russia for the system but in 2010 Russia banned its delivery due to international sanctions against Iran, and returned Tehran’s first payment. But Iran sued Moscow for breaching the two countries’ contract, seeking $4 billion in compensation.Earlier this year, following the agreement reached by Iran and world powers over Tehran’s nuclear program, Russian President Vladimir Putin lifted the ban. The nuclear deal signed in July in Vienna paved the way to resume the sale and earlier this month Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin told reporters that as the first installment of the S-300 is delivered, Iran will revoke its lawsuit.The S-300 is a system capable of engaging multiple attacking aircraft at long range and is intended to protect sensitive ground installations. It is widely held to be one of the top systems of its kind in the world.Israel strongly opposed sale of the system to Iran, arguing that it is meant to defend Iranian nuclear facilities. Tehran has consistently insisted that its nuclear facilities are intended for peaceful purposes.In May this year, IAF pilots conducted joint drills with Greek pilots and the Greek army, and later media reports quoted military officers as saying that some of the training included the Israeli pilots learning how to “trick” the S-300’s radars. The system in use belongs to the Greek army and is deployed on the island of Crete.Greek officials later denied the report.Earlier this year, the commander of the IAF Maj. Gen. Amir Eshel said the challenge posed by the S-300 to Israeli fighter jets was “formidable but not insurmountable.”

Storms snarl U.S travel, threaten rare winter tornadoes-[Reuters]-By Mary Wisniewski-December 28, 2015-YAHOONEWS

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Snow, sleet and hail snarled transportation in large parts of the United States on Monday during one of the busiest travel times of the year, after dozens died in U.S. storms that were just some of the wild weather seen worldwide over the Christmas holiday period.More than 40 people were killed by tornadoes and floods during the holiday season in the United States, where rare winter tornado warnings were issued in Alabama on Monday.Alabama, Mississippi and the Florida panhandle were expected to bear the brunt of the of the day's strongest storms, said AccuWeather senior meteorologist Michael Leseney.As of about 3 p.m. EST (2000 GMT), more than 1,940 U.S. flights had been canceled on Monday, according to FlightAware.com, while another 2,790 delays were reported. Chicago-area airports were worst hit with hundreds of flights canceled as the city was swept by sleet and hail.More than a foot (30 cm) of snow was forecast for southwestern Wisconsin and southeastern Minnesota, and snow was also falling in Iowa, Nebraska and Missouri.A flash flood warning was in effect in eastern Missouri and Southern Illinois, the National Weather Service said. Thirteen people died in flash floods in those two states during the weekend.The U.S. storms came as other countries struggled with extreme weather and stressed holiday infrastructure.In Britain, hundreds of troops were deployed and a government agency said a "complete rethink" of flood defenses was needed after swathes of northern England were inundated by rivers that burst their banks.Severe weather also hit parts of Australia, where more than 100 homes were lost in Christmas Day brushfires.Then on Sunday a freight train carrying sulphuric acid derailed in the Outback, and a Queensland Rail spokeswoman told local media that floods had stopped crews reaching the scene. (video: http://reut.rs/1R3QYwT)-'RIPPED OUR WORLD APART'-The bad U.S. weather caused two candidates for the Republican presidential nomination, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and U.S. Senator Marco Rubio, to cancel campaign events in Iowa.Winter storms that brought ice and high winds to Oklahoma downed power lines and 54,000 customers were without power on Monday in Oklahoma City and surrounding areas, Oklahoma Gas & Electric said. Local news reports said there were 100,000 without power across the state.Operators of the Kerr and Pensacola dams, about 160 miles northeast of Oklahoma City, warned they would have to release large amounts of water due to the storm and area residents might be forced to evacuate their homes.Six tornadoes were reported on Sunday - three in Arkansas, one in Texas, and two in Mississippi.Texas was cleaning up from weekend tornadoes that killed at least 11 people in the Dallas area and damaged about 1,600 structures and homes. One twister in the city of Garland had winds of up to 200 miles per hour (322 km per hour) and killed eight people, including a 30-year-old woman and her year-old son."We are very blessed that we didn't have more injuries and more fatalities," Garland's Mayor Douglas Athas told CNN.In the Dallas suburbs of Garland and Rowlett, which were devastated by tornadoes on Saturday, many residents turned to social media to tell stories of survival and to ask for help finding lost pets.-"RIPPED OUR WORLD APART"-Briana Landrum posted a photo of her living room couch surrounded by wreckage where her house once stood in Rowlett. Her two cats are missing, she wrote, and the freezing rain has made searching for her "sweet babies" difficult."All I remember is the windows all shattering and insulation went everywhere," she wrote. "The roof fell on us one second and the next, it was gone ... The tornado ripped our world apart."Ten deaths and 58 injuries were reported in Mississippi from the Christmas holiday storms, Governor Phil Bryant said at a news conference. Hundreds of homes were damaged.In flooded southern Missouri, dozens of adults and children forced from their homes took refuge at Red Cross shelters.Red Cross spokeswoman Julie Stolting said there was no telling when they might be able to return home. "But we're feeding them, we're sheltering them, we're providing health services," she said.Some roads still were closed in New Mexico, where storms on Sunday dumped as much as 18 inches of snow on eastern parts of the state. Highways with difficult driving conditions included interstate highways 25 and 10.(Reporting by Mary Wisniewski in Chicago, Heide Brandes in Oklahoma City, Jon Herskovitz in Austin, Texas, Letitia Stein in Tampa, Florida, Lisa Maria Garza in Dallas, Laila Kearney in New York, Sara Catania in Los Angeles, and Emily Stephenson; Writing by Mary Wisniewski and Daniel Wallis; Editing by Bill Trott)

Christmas time storms, tornadoes kill at least 43 in U.S.[Reuters]-By Lisa Maria Garza-December 28, 2015-YAHOONEWS

DALLAS (Reuters) - Storms hit the U.S. South, Southwest and Midwest over the Christmas holiday weekend, unleashing floods and tornadoes that killed at least 43 people, flattened buildings and snarled transportation for millions during a busy travel time.The bad weather, or the threat of it, prompted the governors of Missouri and New Mexico to declare a state of emergency for their states.Flash floods killed at least 13 people in Missouri and Illinois.In Missouri, emergency workers have evacuated residents from their homes and conducted dozens of water rescues, Governor Jay Nixon said on Sunday. He said at least eight people had been killed and numerous roadways had been closed.Nixon declared a state of emergency, saying continued rains would make already widespread flooding conditions worse.Three adults and two children were near the village of Patoka, Illinois, 85 miles (137 km) east of St. Louis, Missouri, when their car was washed away by floodwaters on Saturday night, according to Marion County Coroner Troy Cannon.In Texas, at least 11 people were killed in the Dallas area over the weekend by tornadoes, including one packing winds of up to 200 miles per hour (322 km per hour). The twister hit the city of Garland, killing eight people and blowing vehicles off highways."It is total devastation," Garland Police spokesman Lieutenant Pedro Barineau said. "It is a very difficult time to be struck by such a horrible storm the day after Christmas." Three other deaths were reported in the Dallas metropolitan area, the United States' fourth most populous with about 7 million residents. Scores of people were injured in the region and officials estimated some 800 homes may have been damaged.Powerful tornadoes are a staple of spring and summer in central states but occur less frequently in winter, according to U.S. weather data-Three tornadoes were reported in Arkansas on Sunday, the weather service said, but there were no initial reports of significant injuries or damage.The service has issued tornado watches and warnings for areas in that state, as well as in parts of Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Mississippi.A tornado watch means a storm is likely, while a warning means a storm or storms have been sighted.The storms came on the heels of tornadoes that hit two days before Christmas, killing at least 18 people, including 10 in Mississippi.In Texas, Governor Greg Abbott said his office had declared Dallas County and three nearby counties disaster areas. He also warned people to be wary of snow in western parts of the state and rivers spilling their banks in other places.The National Weather Service issued severe weather advisories for large parts of the central United States, including a blizzard warning for parts of New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma and a flash flood watch stretching from Texas to Indiana.New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez declared a state of emergency for the entire state due to a winter storm that had dumped up to two feet of snow by Sunday night.The New Mexico city of Roswell bested its one-day snowfall record, receiving 12.3 inches by Sunday evening, the Weather Service said.The bad weather forced the cancellation of nearly 1,500 flights in the nation on Sunday, according to tracking service FlightAware.com. About half of the canceled flights were in Dallas, a major U.S. flight hub.

Official visit, state dinner at White House for Trudeau set for mid-March-[The Canadian Press]- The Canadian Press-December 28, 2015-YAHOONEWS

OTTAWA - U.S. President Barack Obama and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have set a date for their first meeting in Washington.Trudeau and his wife are to be welcomed by the Obamas for an official visit and state dinner at the White House on March 10.Obama and Trudeau met on the sidelines of the APEC summit in the Philippines in November and Obama had mentioned then he had hoped to have the Trudeaus to the White House in the new year.U.S. Ambassador Bruce Heyman announced the date in a statement Monday, saying the visit is an opportunity for the two countries to deepen their bilateral relationship.Heyman said it is also intended to advance co-operation on issues such as energy and climate change, security and the economic relationship.The meeting will come just ahead of the end of the parliamentary mandate for Canada’s participation in the U.S.-led bombing campaign against Islamic militants in Iraq and Syria.Trudeau has said Canada will remain a participant in the fight against the militants but how and in what capacity remains unclear.Another key issue will be the future of the Trans Pacific Partnership deal; Canada agreed to the landmark trade package during the election but it still needs to be ratified and Trudeau has not set a timeline for when that will happen.It will be the first White House state dinner in 19 years for a Canadian leader.The last one was in 1997 when then-president Bill Clinton hosted then-prime minister Jean Chretien.

OTTAWA - Tom Mulcair says he is committed to leading the NDP despite a devastating election outcome that punted his party back to third party status.Here are five things challenges he faces in the new year. 1. Prepare for leadership review-Mulcair will face an uncomfortable leadership review at the party's convention in Edmonton in April. Questions are likely to emerge about how much of the party's showing in October was a direcly result of Mulcair's leadership. The NDP's constitution indicates a leadership race must ensue within one year if 50 per cent plus one delegate supports it.-2. Consider his future-While Mulcair has maintained he is in for the long haul as commander-in-chief, he will be 65 the next time Canadians head to the polls. The NDP leader will need to mull what is best for him and his party and if he is the best fit to take on Justin Trudeau in 2019.-3. Work with his existing team-There are now only 44 NDP MPs, which means Mulcair is working with a reduced roster. The New Democrats are keen to hold the Liberals to account on issues including electoral reform and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Mulcair's likely to draw on experienced team players, such as environment critic Nathan Cullen, as he pushes forward with his party's agenda.-4. Perform well inside and outside the Commons-Mulcair was praised for his performance in the House in the throes of the Mike Duffy affair. The NDP leader used a prosecutorial approach to go after Stephen Harper in question period, successfully raising eyebrows about what was happening inside the Prime Minister's Office. Now Harper is gone, Mulcair has a new new prime minister's feet to hold to the fire while also ensuring he connects with voters outside the Commons.-5. Sell NDP policies-Observers say the NDP struggled to sell its brand during the last election campaign. The party is now calling itself the "progressive opposition" in a bid to distinguish itself and a challenge will be to find a way to show Canadians how the New Democrats differ from the governing Liberals.

Five challenges that lie ahead for the Conservative party in 2016-[The Canadian Press]-Stephanie Levitz, The Canadian Press-December 28, 2015-YAHOONEWS

OTTAWA - From figuring out a shadow cabinet to restocking the stationery supplies, the Conservatives took the first few weeks of the new Parliament to shake off the pain of their loss in the fall election and settle into life in Opposition.Here are five challenges they, and interim leader Rona Ambrose, face in 2016.-1) Set the course for leadership. When former leader Stephen Harper stepped down on election night, it triggered the creation of an internal party committee to figure out how to replace him. The rules for that process are expected to be unveiled in January. While some had been lobbying for the leadership vote to take place at the party's May convention, consensus seems to be that election won't take place until 2017. But the May get-together is also a chance for the party to update its policy positions, a key milestone for the eventual leadership race.-2) Renew the party. In the Atlantic provinces, urban centres and among new Canadians, the Tories saw their support erode dramatically in the October vote. So, outreach will be key — and that includes fundraising. Fewer star MPs in caucus, a small number of visible minority MPs and no elected representatives in the Atlantic provinces will all provide challenges that need to be overcome. At the same time, a strong showing in Quebec means those new voters can't be ignored either.-3) Balance party realities with Parliament. Within the Tories' 99-member caucus are several MPs with designs on leadership. Ambrose, who cannot run, will have to manage internal party jockeying in order to keep her caucus united and focused on their job as Opposition.-4) Keeping a civil tone. Ambrose has committed to bringing creating a more respectful atmosphere to debates in the House of Commons and in her party's approach to policy. While she's been called one of the most "civil" parliamentarians in Ottawa, some in her caucus have the opposite reputations and keeping their sharp tongues in check will be one of her jobs.-5) Do more with less. The joke going around the Opposition Leader's office is that anyone coming in with an idea is going to be handed a card that reads "we are in Opposition. We have no money. If your idea costs money — no." The Tories now have fewer parliamentary resources for everything from question period preparation to speech writing and they'll have to get used to operating in that new reality.

Phone fraud investigation leads to Cape Sable Island mailbox-[CBC]-December 28, 2015-YAHOO NEWS

David Myers was a beacon in Mary's life. She never met him in person, didn't know where he lived, but he would ring her home in a small southwest Nova Scotia fishing community four times a day just to see how she was doing.He struck just when Mary needed the support most. She was nearly 70, her husband had been sick for six years and she lived in a mobile home off a dirt lane on Cape Sable Island with nothing more than old age pension and supplement for income.He first called to tell her she'd won a prize she could secure by sending a cheque to cover fees. But he quickly turned his attention to a second scheme when she told him she had no money.Unbeknownst to her, Mary and her community mailbox became cogs in a scheme to defraud Canadians, exploited by a scammer who used her to cover his tracks.A scammer who would eventually resort to threats and intimidation — even dispatching messages to her by hiring people to go to her home after she tried to cut all ties."I think he was just preying on what I was going through at the time," says Mary, which is not her real name and who CBC News has agreed not to identify because of concerns for her safety."I needed to hear some of the things he … he sounded like somebody that cared. But obviously he didn't."-Moving money-At his behest she began cashing money orders that arrived by mail, transferring the amounts by MoneyGram to addresses in Alberta, Ontario and Jamaica. She said David Myers never really told her why, and she did not question him.Mail, phone and internet scams are now routine. Police often put out public warnings about the latest round of fraudulent calls: scammers purporting to be from the Canada Revenue Agency, offering prizes, or posing as grandchildren in trouble.Through interviews and court documents used to obtain a search warrant, CBC News has pieced together details of one such multi-provincial fraud, showing the lengths criminals will go to extract money from their victims and avoid arrest. The case centres on a mysterious man who calls himself David Myers. It's not clear if that's his real name or where he lives, and his victims only know him over the phone.When Michael Berger, a retired media technician in Kelowna, B.C., first heard the name, it was following a call in January from the woman who looks in weekly on his 90-year-old father in Winnipeg.The father, who has a touch of dementia, had told the caregiver he'd just won $5.5 million through Publishers Clearing House, and had sent off an $8,500 cheque so the money could be secured.-'So convincing'-Berger immediately called the bank and stopped the cheque. He also retrieved the address given to his father, a mailbox in rural in Nova Scotia."I had a really hard time convincing him that is was a fraud attempt," Berger said in an interview. "This David Myers fellow who was phoning him half a dozen times a day was so convincing."Due to Berger's quick action, the money never made it into the hands of David Myers. What followed was a cascade of nasty and aggressive phone calls from the fraudster to Berger's father."This guy was just incessant, like just calling him six, seven times a day and threatening. Just awful, it was absolutely awful," Berger said."He would just like literally lean on him like nobody's business. Just be really mean and threatening."Alerted by Berger, by this point RCMP in Nova Scotia had intercepted the cheque at Mary's community mailbox.An affidavit sworn by an RCMP officer to get a court order to seize the cheque says the name David Myers and phone numbers used by him are linked to scams and attempted scams in Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, Alberta and Montreal.-'Vulnerable psychologies'- The Nova Scotia officer investigating the case, Sgt. MJ DeLuco, said she won't detail publicly what police have found so far or the chances of catching whoever is behind the scheme. But she said scam artists often groom their victims."The perpetrators of the fraud are very sophisticated in the sense that they prey upon vulnerable psychologies," she said.Mary says she became roped in after Myers called out of the blue last year to tell her she'd won money and a car like the "expensive ones they have in Halifax."He required money to change the prize from American to Canadian dollars. She sent what little she had, but told him she "really didn't have a cent."That's when he began to capitalize on her in a different way. Mary says she never kept a penny from the money orders that landed in her mailbox — at least 10 over a six-month period, most in the range of a "couple hundred dollars."-'Wishful thinking'-She said she only learned the transfers were illegal after RCMP came looking for her. She quickly changed her phone number and cut off all ties with David Myers. Or at least she tried.Twice he sent taxis to her home from Yarmouth, 80 kilometres away, telling the drivers she was to pay them. With no money she could not.Soon after, neighbours told her a strange vehicle was spotted near her home. The subtle intimidation came to a head when a plumber knocked on her door. As he arrived, he got a call. She could hear an "angry" David Myers on the line and he wanted to speak with her.She was so unnerved she went to police.Since then she's heard nothing from David Myers, and recently reflected on how she became tangled up in his scheme."I guess when you're down and out, wishful thinking takes over and you hope that things are going to better for you," Mary said.

Proposed Knesset Bill Would Demand Freedom of Worship for Jews on Temple Mount-By Abra Forman December 27, 2015 , 4:45 pm-BREAKINGISRAELNEWS

“I rejoiced when they said unto me: ‘Let us go unto the house of the LORD.’” (Psalm 122:1)--A new bill has been submitted to the Israeli Knesset demanding that Jews be given the freedom to pray on the Temple Mount, effectively changing the current status quo.If passed, the bill, proposed by MK Bezalal Smotrich (Jewish Home), would hold that Israel’s guarantee of freedom of religion must include access and ability to worship at every holy site in the country. The law would apply not just to Jews but to people of all religions, and would, of course, include the most highly contested holy site in the country – the Temple Mount.As the law stands today, the right to freedom of religion in Israel is hampered by a “lacuna”, a situation in which a specific law or provision is lacking, which “does not protect, specifically, freedom of worship and freedom of access.”The bill proposes to add a clause to the existing law “protecting the holy places, [allowing] freedom of worship for all religions with free and fixed access, so that this fundamental right will be defined by law and will result in freedom of worship anywhere and to anyone.”An explanatory note accompanying the bill stated that “freedom of worship and freedom of access of all religions to the holy places is a basic right in a democracy” and pointed out that there have been multiple cases brought before the Supreme Court in which the right to freedom of worship has been upheld.Five other members of Knesset have signed the bill: MK Shuli Muallem-Refaeli (Jewish Home), MK Nissan Slomiansky (Jewish Home), MK Mickey Zohar (Likud), MK Avraham Nasoga (Likud), and MK Oren Hazan (Likud).Should Jews be allowed to pray on the Temple Mount? If passed, the bill would dramatically change the status quo, which has been a sore source of conflict in the region for the past several months. The current status quo holds that only Muslims are permitted to pray on the Mount, and any Jew, Christian or other non-Muslim who attempts to do so is removed, sometimes forcefully, from the site by Israeli Police.In recent months, the Arab population, perhaps responding to an increase in Temple Mount advocacy by several groups which lobby for freedom of worship on the Mount, as well as the growing number of Jewish visitors ascending to the site, has become suspicious that Israel is seeking to change the status quo.The current spate of terror and violence has been attributed by Arab leadership to frustration and fears over non-Muslim access to the Temple Mount, which is the most holy site in Judaism and the third-most holy site in Islam.Palestinian Chairman Mahmoud Abbas has used the Temple Mount to incite violence, announcing that he will not permit the “filthy feet” of Jews onto the Mount, which is currently controlled by a Jordanian Islamic Waqf.Well-known Temple Mount advocate Rabbi Yehudah Glick, the founder and chairman of the Temple Mount Heritage Foundation, has been among the most vocal supporters of freedom of religion on the Temple Mount.Glick, a member of the Likud party, now stands to become a member of Knesset himself. As of last week, when interior minister Silvan Shalom resigned from Knesset, Glick, who has been on the Likud roster for the past several elections, is next in line. If one more Likud member resigns, Glick will join the Israeli governing body, where he would likely double his efforts towards achieving freedom of worship and access on the Temple Mount.

2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.(WW3 STARTS BECAUSE JERUSALEM IS DIVIDED AND ISRAELIS UPROOTED FROM THEIR GOD GIVIN LAND)

ZECHARIAH 14:12-13
12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.(1/2-3 BILLION DIE IN WW3)

LUKE 21:28-29
28 And when these things begin to come to pass,(ALL THE PROPHECY SIGNS FROM THE BIBLE) then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption (RAPTURE) draweth nigh.
29 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree,(ISRAEL) and all the trees;(ALL INDEPENDENT COUNTRIES)
30 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.(ISRAEL LITERALLY BECAME AND INDEPENDENT COUNTRY JUST BEFORE SUMMER IN MAY 14,1948.)

Insolence Predicted to Increase as Messiah Arrives-By Rivkah Lambert Adler December 26, 2015 , 12:30 pm-BREAKINGISRAELNEWS

“The boastful, willful man, scoffer is his name; the arrogant evildoer, he is a willful man.” (Proverbs 21:24)--Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hossein Jaber Ansari just condemned Israel for its assassination of Samir Kuntar as an act of terrorism. Iran has been classified by the US State Department as an “active state sponsor of terrorism” since at least 2012. This brazen act of an Iranian official calling Israel’s actions “state organized terrorism of the Zionist regime” is just the most recent example of the fulfillment of a Jewish prophecy about the End of Days.According to the Talmud, Judaism’s treasury of rabbinic wisdom, the last generation before the arrival of the Messiah will be a generation marked by brazenness and audacity. The Yiddish word for this quality is chutzpa (insolence) and it is one of a number of Yiddish words, such as with nosh and schmooze, that has made its way into popular culture.The full quote from the Talmud identifies a number of markers of the breakdown of respectful society. The quote ends with a call for increased faith in God as the world waits for the Messiah.“In the last generation before the Messiah, insolence will increase and honor will dwindle. The governments will turn to heresy. The meeting-place of scholars will be used for immorality. The wisdom of the learned will degenerate, those who fear sin will be despised, and the truth will be lacking. Youth will put old men to shame, the old will stand up against the young, a son will disgrace his father, a daughter will rebel against her mother. So upon who is there to rely? Upon our Father in Heaven.” (Sotah 49a)-A review of contemporary news stories clearly illustrates that we are in a generation of unprecedented brazenness and audacity.In the Middle East, jihadist terror group ISIS beheads with immunity. Although the video has been removed by YouTube for a violation of its Terms of Service, a 3-year-old child is shown beheading a teddy bear in the shadow of an ISIS flag. In a separate video, ISIS filmed a child beheading an actual hostage.The chutzpa of ISIS continues as they vow to extend their plan to establish a worldwide Islamic Caliphate to include Israel. the jihadist group recently produced a video in Hebrew to threaten that “not a single Jew would remain in Jerusalem.”In Israel, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas continues to vilify Israel and incite terror against her citizens, but his family members, like his brother-in-law and his wife, are treated in Israeli hospitals.In the US, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Muslim advocacy group, blames US foreign policy for the massacre in San Bernardino.-The end is near. Are you ready?-Global impertinence is not limited to ISIS and other Islamic groups. The UN and the EU also blatantly act against Israel’s interests-In its history, half the resolutions voted on by the United Nations Human Rights Council have condemned Israel, all out of proportion to the extreme human rights violations of any other country, including North Korea, Sudan, Saudi Arabia and Syria. In November 2015 alone, 20 anti-Israel resolutions were presented to the United Nations.Despite the fact that the EU has no policy regarding labeling goods from other countries that have disputed territories, such as China, Morocco, Russia, Pakistan or India, the EU has begun labeling products produced in Biblical Judea and Samaria.Russia’s president Vladimir Putin recently became involved in the Middle East. His rapid annexation of Crimea in March 2014 was accompanied by a claim that Crimea has always been an integral part of Russia. And today, he has his eyes on annexing Eastern Ukraine.Socially, changes in cultural norms regarding what constitutes a legal marriage have become mainstream, despite opposition by Bible-based voters who consider the redefinition of marriage impudent. Other social trends such as reality TV, that thrives on embarrassing participants and sexting, in which people send sexually suggestive videos and images to one another, are part of the brazen culture that signals the fulfillment of the prophecy of an increase in worldwide audacity at the End-of-Days.Prolific author and End-of-Days scholar Rabbi Pinchas Winston told Breaking Israel News that these audacious events, along with other, similar news stories, are, indeed, the fulfillment of prophecy from rabbinic sources that date back to the second through sixth centuries.“The Talmud long ago painted a picture of the End-of-Days and what to expect. One of the signs mentioned is incredible arrogance and brazenness, both of which exist throughout Western society on various different levels,” he explained to Breaking Israel News. “And now, terrorists such as ISIS and their supporters are showing just how far such aberrant behavior can get.”Seen in this context, worldwide brazenness is yet another sign that we are in the period the Bible calls the End of Days.

Evangelical Beliefs on Israel Match Prophetic Doomsday Scenarios-By Rivkah Lambert Adler December 27, 2015 , 11:30 am-BREAKINGISRAELNEWS

“Woe is to me for I have sojourned in Meshech; I dwelt among the tents of Kedar. For a long time, my soul dwelt with those who hate peace. I am peace, but when I speak, they are for war.” (Psalms 120:5-7)--A recent survey of Christian Evangelicals has them echoing Jewish prophecies, associating trouble in Israel and the rest of the Middle East with End Times.Brookings Institute, a Washington DC-based think tank, recently released the results of their survey entitled American Attitudes Toward the Middle East and Israel. Among the more noteworthy results of their survey are two findings related to Evangelical Christian beliefs about Israel and the End of Days.A staggering 73 percent of Evangelical respondents say that world events would turn against Israel the closer we get to End Times. In addition, 79 percent of Evangelicals believe that the unfolding violence across the Middle East is a sign that the End Times are near. These two findings are consistent with beliefs based in Biblical prophecy and rabbinic teachings.In the Biblical Books of the Prophets, there are two scenarios regarding the War of Gog and Magog and the End of Days, one from Ezekiel and one from Zechariah.In his book The Ishmaelite Exile, Rabbi Yechiel Weitzman confirms that Ezekiel’s prophecy is the more pleasant of the two. Weitzman explains that Ezekiel prophesied that the war of Gog and Magog will be fought outside of Israel. “According to the prophecy of Yechezkel (Ezekiel), the Jewish nation will not be involved at all in the war of Gog, for it will take place only in the mountains of the north,” he writes.-The end is near. Are you ready?-The darker prophecy comes from Zechariah and describes an End of Days war fought in Jerusalem:“And I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to wage war; and the city shall be captured, and the houses shall be plundered, and the women shall be ravished, and half the city shall go forth into exile-and the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city.” (Zechariah 14:2)-Islamic terror occurring in Israel and across the Middle East – the specific violence that Evangelical Christians believe are a marker of the End of Days as revealed in the survey- was also hinted at by King David in the Book of Psalms.“Woe is to me for I have sojourned in Meshech; I dwelt among the tents of Kedar. For a long time, my soul dwelt with those who hate peace. I am peace, but when I speak, they are for war.” (Psalms 120:5-7)-Sometimes, as in the above quote, the Bible refers to Ishmael using the name Kedar. Literally, Kedar was a son of Yishmael.“And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael by their names, according to their births: the firstborn of Ishmael was Nebaioth, and Kedar and Adbe’el and Mibsam.” (Genesis 25:13)-Much later, troubling times for Israel at the End of Days was predicted by Rabbi Israel Meir HaKohen Kagan, born in 1839 and popularly known as the Chofetz Chaim. The Chofetz Chaim passed away in 1933, before Word War II, the establishment of the State of Israel and the ascendancy of Islamic terrorism. Nevertheless, he described the time before the arrival of the Messiah as one in which the Jewish people will endure difficulties that will occur in incredibly quick succession.According to a translation by Weitzman, the Chofetz Chaim stated: “Before the coming of Moshiach (Messiah), Hashem (God) will act in a hurried manner so wondrous that even all who are wise of heart will be unable to fathom it. The troubles and persecutions [of the Jewish people] will follow each other so closely that there will be no space between them. Just as for an expectant woman who is about to give birth, the closer she comes to the moment of birth, the more intense her contractions and her pain, and this is the most reliable indication that the birth is nearing, so too, the wheels of the era will turn faster at the time of the birth pangs of Moshiach.”There are those, like the prophet Ezekiel, who believe that it is still possible for God to bring the redemption with pleasantness and mercy. At the same time, like the Evangelical Christians surveyed by the Brookings Institute, the prophecies of Zechariah, King David and the Chofetz Chaim warn of a darker scenario.Rabbi Pinchas Winston, international lecture, prolific author and End of Days expert, explained to Breaking Israel News that history certainly seems to be playing out a less merciful end game.“End-of-Days scenarios have been around since the beginning of days. To many, Doomsday Sayers have seemed out of touch with reality. However, with the direction history seems to be going, and quite involuntarily, it seems more like reality is getting in touch with the Doomsdayers,” he said.“Even mainstream media has begun mentioning the unmentionable: World War III, and all of a sudden the End-of-Days scenarios are becoming common culture for all peoples.”

Israeli missile defense director dismissed over security breach-[Reuters]-December 27, 2015- YAHOONEWS

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel's missile defense director has been dismissed for a "grave breach of information security", his ministry said on Sunday, a setback for U.S.-backed projects the country deems crucial for any future war with Iran or its allies.In a statement, the Defence Ministry said the recently discovered security breach meant that Yair Ramati could not continue in the role. It did not elaborate on the offense, saying "relevant authorities" would be handling the case.Three people familiar with Ramati told Reuters on condition of anonymity that he had improperly handled classified documents but was not accused of criminal misconduct such as espionage.The Defence Ministry statement praised Ramati for his achievements during four years in office, crowned this month by a successful trial shoot-down in space by the Arrow 3 ballistic missile shield and final field test of David's Sling, a rocket interceptor slated for deployment in Israel next year.The ministry wished him "great success for the future".Under Ramati's watch, Israel also deployed its short-range interceptor Iron Dome, which according to Israeli and U.S. officials has had a 90 percent success rate in shooting down Palestinian guerrilla rockets from the Gaza Strip.Israel invested in missile defense after its 2006 war in Lebanon, during which Hezbollah guerrillas rained rockets on its homefront. It worries about a possible ballistic missile exchange with arch-foe Iran, though its concerns about another enemy, Syria, have abated given that country's civil war.Israel has received hundreds of millions of dollars in U.S. funding for the three missile defense systems, whose private contractors include Boeing Co., Raytheon, and Elbit Systems Ltd..(Writing by Dan Williams; editing by Ros Russell)

Hezbollah leader tells Israel to brace for retaliation over Qantar's death-[Reuters]-By Laila Bassam-December 27, 2015-YAHOONEWS

BEIRUT (Reuters) - The leader of Lebanon's Hezbollah group said on Sunday that Israel miscalculated by killing prominent militant Samir Qantar in Syria last week, saying that retaliation for his death was inevitable, whatever the consequences.Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, speaking in a ceremony to mark a week since Qantar's death in a strike in a residential quarter of Damascus, said Israelis should brace themselves for a response either inside or outside Israel."The Israelis should be justifiably worried... They should be worried along the border, inside (Israel) and outside," he said."The response is coming no matter what ... We cannot forgive the shedding of our mujahideen blood by the Zionists ... anywhere in the world," he said. Israel has welcomed Qantar's death, but has not confirmed it carried out the air strike that killed him.Israeli Defence Minister Moshe Yaalon said on Saturday Israel took seriously a possible retaliation for Qantar's killing and accused Iran, Hezbollah's backer, of trying to open "a terrorist front on the Golan Heights".Yaalon said Hezbollah should be mindful of the 2006 Lebanon war, when Israel responded to a spate of cross-border attacks by the militant group with a large-scale ground, air and sea offensive.Qantar was jailed in Israel for his part in a 1979 raid in Israel that killed four people when he was a member of a Palestinian militant group. Qantar was repatriated to Lebanon in 2008 in a prisoner swap with Hezbollah, which he then joined. Nasrallah who described Qantar as a "leader" in Hezbollah for the first time acknowledged that Qantar had played a key role in creating a "popular resistance" in Syria against what he said were Israeli designs on the Syrian Golan Heights.Hezbollah is fighting on the side of President Bashar al-Assad in Syria's civil war. Syrian state media said Qantar was involved in a major offensive earlier this year in Quneitra, near the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.Qantar's growing military role in the strategic area had unnerved Israel, Nasrallah said.Israel seized part of the Golan Heights from Syria in the 1967 Arab-Israeli war and annexed it later.(Additional reporting by Dan Williams in Jerusalem; Writing by Suleiman al-Khalidi; Editing by Ros Russell)

ISIS Leader Threatens “Palestine Will Be Graveyard for Jews”-By Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz December 27, 2015 , 1:40 am-BREAKINGISRAELNEWS

“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” (Isaiah 41:10)--In a new speech released on social media on Saturday, head of the Islamic State (ISIS) terror group, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, issued a threat to Israel for the first time publicly, warning that “Palestine will be a graveyard for Jews.”“If the Islamic coalition against ISIS were truly Islamic, it would declare that it was cutting ties with its Jewish and crusader masters and that its goal was to kill the Jews and liberate Palestine,” he said, according to a translation by Ynet.“The Jews thought we forgot Palestine and that they had distracted us from it. Not at all, Jews. We did not forget Palestine for a moment. With the help of Allah, we will not forget it…The pioneers of the jihadist fighters will surround you on a day that you think is distant and we know is close. We are getting closer every day. You will never find comfort in Palestine, Jews,” said Baghdadi.“Palestine will not be your land or your home, but it will be a graveyard for you. Allah assembled you in Palestine so that the Muslims kill you, so that you may hide behind stones and trees,” al-Baghdadi stated, referencing a teaching from the Muslim Hadith saying that says in the End of Days, stones and trees will help Muslims murder all Jews.-Sound the alarm on the persecution of Christian minorities-Last month, ISIS released a video in which masked jihadists issued threats against the Jewish people and a major war against Israel.“To all the Jews, grandchildren of monkeys and pigs,” the ISIS member warned, “We are coming for you from all over the world to slaughter you.”ISIS has also released Hebrew language videos voicing support for the wave of Palestinian violence that has plagued Israel for several months. One video was aimed at the Palestinians in Israel.“A victory is coming to the mujahedin of the Al-Aqsa from above, you are the ones who start but we will continue it,” the video stated.The jihadist terror group has previously released videos threatening the Vatican, New York City and the White House.
