Cyclone Gonu blamed for 15 deaths By JIM KRANE, Associated Press Writer
Thu Jun 7, 6:38 AM ET

MUSCAT, Oman - Semi-trucks were trapped in flooded highways here Thursday after Cyclone Gonu battered Oman's coast on its path toward the world's most important crude oil tanker route. At least 15 storm-related deaths were reported. But as the cyclone a rarity in the Middle East headed from Oman to the southeastern Iranian coast, it continued to lose steam, dropping off to tropical storm strength early Thursday, according to the U.S. military's Joint Typhoon Warning Center.The center predicted Gonu would make landfall on the southeastern Iranian coast late Thursday. But it was likely to spare Iran's offshore oil installations that lie more than 120 miles to the west, the center and oil officials said.

At least 12 people were killed from the storm in Oman, including members of police rescue squads, and others were reported missing, said Oman Royal Police spokesman Abdullah al-Harthi. He did not provide further details.Across the Gulf of Oman, Iranian state television reported that a resident of the port city of Bandar Abbas was killed in a car accident Wednesday due to low visibility from the storm.Two provincial government workers bringing emergency supplies to a flooded area also were killed when a river overflowed and flipped their truck in Jask, a town 155 miles southeast of Bandar Abbas, state TV's Web site said.The storm caused little damage to Oman's relatively small oil fields. But raging seas had prevented tankers from sailing from Omani ports, effectively shutting down the country's oil exports, said Nasser bin Khamis al-Jashimi of the Ministry of Oil and Gas.

Authorities also closed all operations at the port of Sohar and evacuated 11,000 workers, port spokesman Dirk Jan De Vink said.To the north, the port of Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates reopened Thursday after it suspended all refueling and ship-to-ship supply operations at the world's third-largest shipping fuel center.A few ships sailed through the nearby Strait of Hormuz despite 4- to 6-foot swells and strong winds, Suresh Nair of the Gulf Agency Co. shipping firm said Wednesday.

About one-fifth of the world's oil passes through the narrow waterway at the entrance to the Persian Gulf.About 17-21 million barrels a day of oil are coming out of the Persian Gulf. Even if only some of the tankers are delayed, that could reduce the supply of oil and increase prices, said Manouchehr Takin, an analyst at the Center for Global Energy Studies in London.But Tim Evans, an analyst at Citigroup Global Markets, said the storm shouldn't have a major impact on prices because while it may delay oil shipments, they eventually will get to their destinations.On Thursday, the storm sustained winds of 41 mph, less than half its strength of 95 mph just 24 hours earlier, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center said. It was centered about 98 miles north of Muscat and was projected to weaken over the next several hours to as it moves through the Gulf of Oman toward Iran.Even with the weaker wind speeds, Gonu which means a bag made of palm leaves in the language of the Maldives is believed to be the strongest cyclone here since record-keeping started in 1945.In the capital, Muscat, highways and yards were flooded, and downed trees and power lines were scattered in the high waters. Residents washed cars in the flooded streets, while others snapped pictures.

The capital Muscat became a lake, the police spokesman al-Harthi told Oman TV.In coastal city of Sohar west of Muscat, violent waves continued to crash the shore as several residents returned to their homes Thursday after being evacuated.We all went to the school last night, and I came back to look at the house. Twice the water came into my house, and maybe the tide will come in again, said fisherman Salem Hassan al-Mukblai, 40, as he and his two sons tried to tie a downed fruit tree to a fence surrounding their house. Shareefa bint Khalfan, Omani minister of social development, said more than 20,000 people were evacuated Wednesday and housed in government-provided dwellings stocked with medicine and supplies. Oman's eastern provinces have been cut off, with heavy rains making the roads unusable and communication lines severed. In Iran, authorities evacuated hundreds of people living in the port city of Chabahr on the coast of the Gulf of Oman, believed to be next in the cyclone's path. But the heavy storm, which caused trees to fall and windows to smash, eased Thursday morning, subsiding into light rain and wind. Thanks to God, people are back in the bazaars and streets of the city, said Abbas Jafari, a 47-year-old taxi driver. Yesterday was terrible. I had never seen such a storm in my life.Iran's state broadcasting company said on its Web site that some small villages in Sistan and Baluchistan province, on the Gulf of Oman, were still encircled by floods and authorities used helicopters to drop emergency supplies to them.

The storm affected power and telephone lines elsewhere in the province, but caused no major damage, provincial governor Habibollah Dehmardeh told the official IRNA news agency.

As a precaution, the Bandar Abbas oil refinery, which supplies the local petroleum market, closed jetties that receive oil from tankers, the Web site of Iran's Oil Ministry reported. The refinery was working as usual Thursday, the report said. Associated Press writers Nasser Karimi in Tehran, Iran, Hassan Sarbakhshian in Bandar Abbas, Iran and Kareem Shaheen in Dubai, United Arab Emirates contributed to this report.

Drought prompts LA mayor to urge cut in water use Wed Jun 6, 10:20 PM ET

LOS ANGELES (AFP) - Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa asked Los Angeles residents on Wednesday to cut water use by 10 percent amid a drought of historic proportions. Less than three inches (eight centimeters) of rain have been recorded in downtown Los Angeles between January and May, the lowest level of rainfall since 1877.The average annual rainfall is 15 inches (38 centimeters) for the Los Angeles area, home to about 16 million people.The shortage could become even more acute as the city braces for an expected hot summer and if the drought persists through next winter, authorities will be forced to introduce water rationing.Los Angeles needs to change course and conserve water to steer clear of this perfect storm, Villaraigosa said.Officials in the second-largest US city urged Angelenos to take shorter showers, fix leaky faucets, water lawns less, stop throwing trash in toilets, replace old washing machines and use brooms instead of water hoses to clean sidewalks and driveways.Water in reserve will meet customer demands this year because last year's snow pack surpassed the average by about 145 percent, according to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and the Metropolitan Water District.

North Korea fires missiles off coast By BO-MI LIM, Associated Press Writer JUN 7,07

SEOUL, South Korea - North Korea fired short-range missiles off its western coast in an apparent test Thursday, South Korea's Defense Ministry said, amid a deadlock in international negotiations over Pyongyang's nuclear weapons program. The United States immediately denounced the launch, saying the activity was not constructive.A South Korean Defense Ministry official said it had intelligence that North Korea launched the short-range missiles into the sea off its western coast.We are trying to confirm how many were fired and what type of missiles they are, the official said, speaking on customary condition of anonymity.South Korea's Yonhap news agency also cited two unidentified intelligence officials as saying the North fired at least one missile. One of the officials said Pyongyang fired two one in the morning and one in the afternoon which is believed to be part of the communist regime's routine drills, according to Yonhap.The missiles were either land-to-ship or ship-to-ship models with a range of less than 62 miles, and fell into North Korea's territorial waters, the report said.

The news came two weeks after North Korea test-fired at least one short-range missile into eastern coastal waters, which South Korean and U.S. officials played down as part of the communist country's regular military exercises.But Thursday's launch drew criticism from U.S. National Security Council spokesman Gordon Johndroe.The United States and our allies believe that North Korea should refrain from testing missiles, said Johndroe, accompanying President Bush to the Group of
Eight summit in Heiligendamm, Germany.North Korea should focus on the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula and fulfill its obligations under the Feb. 13 agreement in which North Korea pledged to shut down its main nuclear reactor in return for financial and diplomatic incentives.This kind of activity is not constructive, Johndroe said.In recent weeks, North Korea has refused to move on its
pledge to shut down its main nuclear reactor over a delay in withdrawing $25 million of its money at a Macau bank that was blacklisted by the U.S. for allegedly helping the North launder and counterfeit money.

The North has made the release of the funds a key condition to disarmament, having boycotted international negotiations for more than a year over the issue, during which it conducted its first nuclear test in October.

In July 2006, North Korea also test-fired a barrage of missiles, including a long-range one believed to be capable of reaching even parts of the U.S.North Korea is believed to have produced enough plutonium to make as many as a dozen or more nuclear bombs, but experts say it likely does not have a bomb design advanced enough to be placed on a missile.

Merkel: G-8 agreement on climate change By JENNIFER QUINN, Associated Press Writer JUNE 7,07

HEILIGENDAMM, Germany - Chancellor Angela Merkel said Thursday that the Group of Eight has agreed on a plan calling for substantial cuts in the greenhouse gas emissions blamed for global warming. The goal is to agree to cut greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2050, Merkel said, hailing the decision as a huge success. She said it came after many rounds of talks and negotiations on climate change.Merkel, who has made the issue the centerpiece of her leadership of this year's G-8, had steadily lobbied fellow leaders on the matter since they began arriving in this Baltic Sea resort for their yearly summit.No one can escape this political declaration.

It is an enormous step forward, she told reporters.Details of the agreement were not immediately available, and it was unclear how much binding weight the declaration would carry since it is up to G-8 leaders to keep the promises they make.A final summit communique was not expected until FridayMerkel has long been calling for setting specific targets for reducing the carbon emissions believed to cause global warming, including a two-degree target under which global temperatures would be allowed to increase by no more than 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) before being brought back down.Experts have said that would require a global reduction in emissions of 50 percent below 1990 levels by 2050.Merkel wanted binding reductions; President Bush opposed them. He instead proposed having the top 15 polluters meet and set a long-term goal, but decide for themselves how much to do toward meeting it.Merkel, the summit host, said Thursday that the toughest point was the halving of emissions ... that was the hardest step. But she said: We agreed that we need reduction goals — and obligatory reduction goals.All parties agreed the process should take place within the U.N. framework and will begin with a meeting of environment ministers at a U.N. climate change conference in Bali, Indonesia, in December.

Earlier Thursday, British Prime Minister Tony Blair held out hope that world leaders would reach such an agreement despite differences between the U.S. and Europe over whether such cuts should be binding.I think that it is possible that we'll leave the summit with a commitment on the part of everyone to a substantial reduction of greenhouse gases by 2050 as a global target that is of the order of the type of figures the Europeans are talking about, said Blair, who leaves office June 27.Blair was saying his goodbyes to Bush and other Group of Eight leaders in this seaside city in northern Germany.Blair and Bush later joined six counterparts for the first working session of the G-8. Besides global warming, the leaders are tackling edgy relations with Russia and Moscow's opposition to Western efforts to secure independence for Serbia's Kosovo province, the crisis in Darfur, poverty aid to Africa, the Middle East and trade talks.North Korea is likely to be another topic of discussion.

The reclusive communist regime on Thursday fired short-range missiles off its western coast in an apparent test, according to South Korea's Defense Ministry.The United States immediately denounced the launch, saying such activity was not constructive in the midst of a deadlock in international negotiations over North Korea's nuclear weapons program.

Merkel chaired the first working session, with Blair to her left and Bush next to him. Also at the table were Russia's Vladimir Putin, Italy's Romano Prodi, Canada's Stephen Harper, France's Nicolas Sarkozy, Japan's Shinzo Abe and Jose Manuel Barroso of the European Commission. Afterward, Bush and Putin met privately after days of Cold War-style sparring over U.S. plans to base a missile defense shield in Poland and the Czech Republic, essentially in Russia's back yard. Putin, bitterly opposed to placing such a system in Europe, told Bush that Russia would drop its objections and not seek to retrain its missiles on Europe if the shield were installed in Azerbaijan, a former Soviet satellite in central Asia. Bush's national security adviser, Steve Hadley, called it an interesting proposal.

Anti-poverty groups, meanwhile, hope the leaders will recommit to promises made during their summit two years ago in Gleneagles, Scotland, to increase international aid to Africa and other poorer countries.

In 2005, the G-8 agreed to increase the amount of aid by $50 billion a year through 2010, with half going to Africa. But since then, the pledge has missed the target by $30 billion, anti-poverty groups say.

This year's gathering is being held under tight security, with Heiligendamm sealed off by a seven-mile, razor wire-topped fence. Thousands of police have been deployed across the northern German region. Protests continued Thursday for a second day, as demonstrators continued to block roads to Heiligendamm and police again resorted to firing water cannons to scatter them. Offshore, Greenpeace environmental activists led police on a boat chase, with one boatload briefly spilling its contents into the Baltic. Associated Press writers Jennifer Loven and Claudia Kemmer in Heiligendamm, David Rising in Hinter Bollhagen and Vanessa Gera in Bad Doberan contributed to this report.

Palestinians want to import weapons By AMY TEIBEL, Associated Press Writer JUNE 7,07

JERUSALEM - Security forces loyal to moderate Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas have asked Israel's permission to import anti-tank missiles, grenades and millions of bullets to fight the Islamic militant group Hamas, officials said Thursday.

The request comes as a truce halting the latest deadly round of Palestinian infighting teetered on the brink of collapse, with clashes breaking out between Fatah and Hamas fighters in the Gaza Strip. One Fatah gunman was killed the first fatality since the truce took hold in mid-May.Under interim peace accords, Israeli permission is necessary for military equipment to enter Palestinian territories, and Palestinian security officials said such a request by forces loyal to Abbas has been on the table for months.Israeli security officials said Israel was discussing the issue with the U.S. security coordinator in the region, Lt. Gen. Keith Dayton.

Officials on both sides spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss confidential military deliberations with the media.A spokesman for Dayton said he had no comment.

A senior Western diplomat said the U.S. was playing no central role in this matter. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss U.S. involvement with the media.

Hamas, which shares power with Fatah in the Palestinians' coalition government, was not immediately available for comment.Israel has given permission for the import of weapons in the past, most recently in March after Palestinian officials made guarantees the weapons would not fall into Hamas' hands and be used against Israeli targets.

There is widespread opposition to this new request for the same reason.The likeliest thing to be approved, if anything, would be the armored personnel carriers that also appeared on the list, the Israeli officials added.Hamas and Fatah have been locked in a violent struggle since the Islamic group unseated Fatah in Palestinian parliamentary elections last year.

More than 50 Palestinians died in two weeks of internal strife last month that eased after Hamas stepped up its rocket attacks on Israel, drawing dozens of Israeli airstrikes and unifying the Palestinian groups against their common enemy.But the factions' brittle truce threatened to crumble Thursday, when a Fatah gunman was killed in a shootout with Hamas fighters in the southern Gaza town of Rafah. The battle led to a daylong fight between the groups, with gunmen firing rocket-propelled grenades and lobbing explosives at rival targets.Fatah and Hamas blamed each other for the fatal shootout outside a house belonging to Fatah supporters. Medical officials said at least 17 people were injured, two seriously. Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert had been scheduled to meet in the West Bank on Thursday to discuss the latest round of violence, but the Palestinians called it off, accusing Israel of rejecting all their proposals in preparatory talks.In lieu of that meeting, the so-called Quartet of Mideast mediators the U.S., European Union, Russia and the U.N. invited the two leaders for talks in Egypt on June 25, Palestinian Foreign Minister Ziad Abu Amr said. Representatives of the 22-member Arab League, which is pushing a sweeping peace plan, will also attend, Abu Amr said.

One Third of Americans Say Bible is Literal Word of God JUNE 7,07
by Kim Trobee

According to a new Gallup Poll, Protestants are the most likely to credit the Bible as the inerrent word of God. The rest of the population feels the Bible might be inspired by God, but not literally so. Do you believe the Bible is the literal word of God? Since 1991, the Gallup Organization has asked Americans that question, yet their answers remain remarkably unchanged. About 31% of people believe the Good Book is infallible. Frank Newport with Gallup says we still live in a country where God’s word is taken seriously. Religious people around the world who believe that a religious document is inerrant will engage in behaviors and support types of policies which are significantly different than others might and those have real implications for society.Year after year, the other constant is that belief in the infallible word correlates with church attendance and a Protestant Christian theology. Dr. Richard Land with the Southern Baptist Convention is not surprised.

People who take the Bible seriously are going to go to church. And if they go to church they’re going to hear sermons and they’re going to have Sunday school lessons that are going to teach them that the Bible is the inerrant and infallible word of God.If you add together the people who think the whole Bible is the direct word of God and those who see it as divinely inspired, but not all parts are to be taken literally, you arrive at about 80% of the public believing it to be a major source of truth in their lives. This is a very religious country and it’s getting more so, not less so.Nineteen percent of Americans surveyed say the Bible is a book of ancient fables, legends or history written by man.

Strength in numbers JUNE 7,07

Europe is still an economic giant but politically it is a dwarf. For member states to defend their interests the union must be strong. Joschka Fischer

Europe today presents a contradictory picture. It is a land of peace, democracy, and the rule of law. It is also a land of prosperity: its economy is competitive, its currency strong, inflation is low, and its standards of living are among the highest in the world. Europeans benefit from very high levels of social protection, inexpensive, high-quality education, strict environmental standards, and excellent
infrastructure. In addition, Europe has unmatched cultural diversity and great natural beauty. It all sounds like a utopian dream.With its 500 million people and the world's largest single market, Europe, even if not seen by the world as a real union, is still an economic giant. But politically it is a dwarf - and shrinking. Ours is a century of large states, and the further rise of China, India, the United States, and Japan will soon make the largest European powers look puny. Even today the three largest EU members barely manage to offset Europe's loss of political weight, much less to stem the tide.

Without a strong EU, this development will only intensify.The world outside Europe is changing rapidly, and it won't wait for Europeans mired in an agonising process of self-discovery. The alternatives are clear: keep up or be left behind.

In America, despite the current obsession with Iraq, a strategic view is taking hold that defines the 21st century mainly in terms of the triad of China, India, and the US. Japan's role as an American ally is viewed as a given. The relationship with Russia is placed somewhere between partnership and renewed rivalry, but Russia is not really seen as a strategic challenge. And, in strategic terms, the rest is silence - which applies also to Europe.The bottom line for America is that while Europe no longer creates problems, for the foreseeable future, Europe, due to its lack of unity, will not be willing or able to contribute to solving the world's problems. Europe's involvement in Nato's efforts to stabilise Afghanistan only emphasises this ambiguity.On the one hand, Europe's role in Afghanistan is appreciated by the US, but on the other, it also exposes the Europeans' weakness and the Alliance's limited capabilities. While the US political elite has not written off Nato, expectations about its crisis-solving competence are fast being scaled down. This view of Europe as a negligible political entity is fully shared in Beijing, Moscow, and New Delhi.

This is the starting point at which a new generation of leaders is taking over the reins in the EU's three largest member states. Gerhard Schröder, Jacques Chirac, and Tony Blair are history. In Germany, the government of Angela Merkel has been in power for one and a half years. Nicolas Sarkozy has just assumed the French presidency. Gordon Brown will soon take over as prime minister in the UK.Within just a few weeks, this trio will be called on to make a vital decision on the future of the EU.

That decision concerns the constitutional treaty and its prospects. What the new foundational document is called in the end is a minor point; what is essential for Europe's future is that constitutional reform is revived and gives Europe a strong foundation. The question, then, is whether the new leaders, as early as next month, succeed in a new effort to adopt the vital institutional reforms that the enlarged union requires.The best way to proceed is to focus on the essentials. Part III of the blocked constitutional treaty is merely a compendium of the existing EU treaties, which - because these treaties will remain in force regardless of whether they are part of the new document - can be decoupled from the rest.Part II of the stalled document, the Charter of Fundamental Rights, can be postponed. To be sure, this would be painful because, as the EU bureaucracies gain more authority, the EU's democratic deficit will widen without clearly defined fundamental rights. If Part II is postponed, the European court will have to define these fundamental rights for the time being. This is only a second-best solution, but it is better than nothing.

Part I of the treaty, however, is indispensable, as is the new voting procedure, with its double majority rule balancing the role of the states and the population. To reopen this part of the debate, and thus to allow a dilution of its substance, would be a historic failure and a major setback for Europe's future. If this is the price of going ahead with the treaty, it is better to do nothing at all and bide one's time.The stakes are thus very high for Europe in the coming weeks. If the substance of the constitutional treaty is saved, Europe will increasingly develop into a global player. Only then will the transatlantic alliance also have a future. To be sure, this process will take time, and there will be other setbacks. But the
fundamental direction will be correct, and there will be real cause for optimism. If, on the other hand, this attempt, too, should fail, or end in a lazy, useless compromise, Europe's decline will accelerate and transatlantic relations will become increasingly turbulent.It is now up to Merkel, Sarkozy, and Brown to prove - despite all the differences that may exist between them - that they understand the challenges that globalisation poses for Europe: the EU member states will be able to defend their interests in the world of the 21st century only to the extent that the EU itself is strong.

Knesset Moves to Ban Gay March in Jerusalem
by Hillel Fendel (INN) JUNE 7,07

With tensions rising again as homosexuals prepare to parade in Jerusalem, the Knesset passes a preliminary reading of an amendment that would ban future such marches. At the same time, opponents of the march have begun a series of protest actions.The Knesset voted by a 40-23 margin on Wednesday afternoon to approve an early reading of an amendment to the current Jerusalem Bill.

The amendment will be discussed in the Knesset Law Committee; if it is passed there, it will be returned to the Knesset for two additional votes and final passage.The amendment reads as follows: The Jerusalem City Council is authorized to ban marches and parades in the city for reasons of disturbance of the peace, offense to public sensitivities, or for religious reasons.

MK Gabbai Explains

MK Eli Gabbai (National Religious Party), who submitted the bill twice - in the previous Knesset and in the current one - offered two explanations for proposing the bill. One explanation is that Jerusalem is a unique city in the world, holy to the three religions. The holding of a gay-pride parade specifically in Jerusalem is offensive to the believers of all the religions all over the world... This law authorizes the City Council to bar an event that is liable to offend millions of believers around the world, as well as the residents of the city itself.In his second explanation, Gabbai adds, ...Jerusalem's special national and international status stems, inter alia, from the fact that it is holy to the three religions. This legislation comes to strengthen Jerusalem's status via its City Council representatives, enabling them to set its policies while taking into account the special sensitivities in light of the unique religious and social composition of the population.MK Gabbai told Arutz-7 he hopes to have the bill passed completely in time for the scheduled gay march two weeks from now.

Some observers in the Knesset feel this is unrealistic, but it should be ready in time for gay events that are planned for the future, however, said Gabbai's spokesman Yair Givati.Meretz faction leader MK Zahava Gal'on condemned the proposed amendment, saying that every group must have the right of expression. She and party colleague MK Chaim Oron warned that the sword that is aimed at one group today could be aimed at another tomorrow. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert consented to allow the coalition MKs - specifically those of Shas - to vote their conscience on the bill. Olmert said that he himself personally opposes the bill, though he agrees that Jerusalem is not the natural place for a parade by homosexuals because of the special sensitivity in the holy city.MK Moshe Sharoni (Pensioners) said he feels the homosexuals can march in any other city: Why Jerusalem? What, do they want to get the Christians and the Moslems angry at us? Do they want the whole world to hate us even more? They're a small minority, and this is the law.

Once certain rabbis give the word, their followers will understand that an abomination march cannot be allowed to happen in the holy city, and will do practically anything to stop it Posters and Prayer Rallies. The hareidi-religious and religious sectors in Jerusalem are beginning a series of actions designed to prevent the parade from taking place. A body calling itself The Committee to Stop the Abomination Parade, backed by the Yesha Rabbis Council, the Sanhedrin, Jerusalem City Councilwoman Mina Fenton and others, has taken the following steps: Posters and billboards against the parade, road-blockings against a gay parade taking place in Haifa today (Wednesday), a possible protest rally against a planned march in Tel Aviv this Friday, and a protest tent at the entrance to Jerusalem beginning this week.In addition, the group has filed for a police permit to hold a mass prayer-and-protest rally at the entrance to Jerusalem on the day of the planned march. A donor has already agreed to pay for 1,000 buses to bring participants from all over the country. The event will be gender-separate; women will congregate at the beginning of Herzl Blvd., while men will occupy the road leading to Ramot.

Organizers say they will not sanction violence at these events. However, one organizer told Arutz-7 that once certain rabbis give the word to approve protests, their followers will understand that an abomination march is something that cannot be allowed to happen in the holy city, and they will do practically anything to stop it.Police have authorized the parade in principle, but have hinged the actual permit on their check of the actual route and other considerations of public security.

Syria ready for war
Officials: Troops at Israeli border, could launch surprise attack
June 7, 2007 - By Aaron Klein - 2007 WorldNetDaily.com

Syrian President Bashar Assad

TEL AVIV – Syria, aided by Iran, has deployed a strengthened army along Israel's northern border and is prepared to launch a surprise war against the Jewish state, according to senior Israeli security officials. The development comes as Prime Minister Ehud Olmert yesterday told the Knesset he is ready for direct negotiations with Syria aimed at an Israeli retreat from the Golan Heights, strategic mountainous territory that looks down on Israeli population centers twice used by Damascus to attack the Jewish state. With Israelis this week commemorating the 40th anniversary of the Six-Day War – when neighbors Egypt, Jordan and Syria attacked the Jewish state – Israeli security officials told WND Syria has prepared for a confrontation and is capable of launching an immediate war.

The officials say the Syrian army is deployed along the Syrian side of the Golan Heights with strengthened forces after carrying out the past few weeks stepped-up training of troops. The officials noted the open movement of Syrian Scud missiles near the border with Israel and said Syria recently increased production of rockets and acquired missiles capable of hitting central Israeli population centers.

The Syrian army has improved its fortifications, according to the Israeli security officials, and has received modern, Russian-made anti-tank missiles similar to the ones that devastated Israeli tanks during the last Lebanon war, causing the highest number of Israeli troop casualties during the 34 days of military confrontations. Syria also received from Russia advanced anti-aircraft missiles. The officials noted Syria stepped up the pace of weapons, including rockets, being shipped from the
Syrian border to the Lebanese Hezbollah militia. Just yesterday, a truckload of weaponry meant for Hezbollah was confiscated by the Lebanese army. Yossi Baidatz, chief of military intelligence for the Israel Defense Forces, said the Syrian-backed Hezbollah is rebuilding its forces in southern Lebanon near the Israeli border in areas where international forces are deployed with the specific charge of preventing the Lebanese militia's rearming.

The security officials said the greatest threat Syria poses to the Jewish state are the country's missiles and rockets. They noted Syria recently test-fired two Scud-D surface-to-surface missiles, which have a range of about 250 miles, covering most Israeli territory. The officials said the Syrian missile test was coordinated with Iran and is believed to have been successful. It is not known what type of warhead the missiles had. In addition to longer-range Scuds, Syria is in possession of shorter-range missiles such as 220 millimeter and 305 millimeter rockets, some of which have been passed on to Hezbollah. Israel also has information Syria recently acquired and deployed Chinese-made C-802 missiles, which were successfully used against the Israeli navy during Israel's war against the Lebanese Hezbollah militia last July and August. The missiles were passed to Syria by Iran, Israeli security officials told WND.

Israeli security officials said Syria is preparing for a summer war. But they said there was an argument within the Israeli intelligence community whether the military build-up is for an attack or is meant by Syria to pressure Israel into vacating the Golan Heights.

Some officials said Syria estimates the U.S. or Israel will attack Iran, and Syria will be drawn into a larger military confrontation by opening up a front against northern Israel. Also, the officials said, Syria may believe Israel will attack first and its preparations are defensive in nature. The Israeli army is not taking any chances. The Israel Defense Forces Tuesday carried out a mock attack on a Syrian village during a major exercise in the Negev.

The Israeli soldiers besieged and occupied the village, designed to be similar to towns on the Syrian side of the Golan. Similar war exercises were carried out in Israel the past few months, including a mock attack on Damascus.

Syrian President Bashar Assad has multiple times told his state-run media the past few months Damascus is preparing for war. He warned Israel to evacuate the Golan Heights. This past weekend, Assad called for better cooperation between Damascus and Tehran in the confrontation with the Zionist regime and the USA, according to a report published Sunday by Iran's official state news agency, IRNA. Yesterday, an official from Assad's Baath party warned in a WND interview if Israel doesn't vacate the Golan, residents in the strategic territory would launch resistance operations against Israeli communities. Meanwhile, Olmert yesterday told the Israeli Knesset he is willing to hold peace talks with Syria without any preconditions. At the same Knesset hearing, Israel's security cabinet decided to establish a ministerial committee to discuss the security threat posed by Syria. The committee, led by Olmert, is made up largely of the same war lawmakers who helped shape Israel's war against Hezbollah last summer. Those lawmakers were slammed in a recent government war probe for multiple failures during the war.

Olmert – faced with devastatingly low poll numbers and calls from the public and senior officials to resign – reportedly directed staffers at Israel's Foreign Ministry to prepare for the possibility of talks with Syria. Some analysts here have speculated in the Israeli media Olmert's ratings could rise if he reached out to his leftist base and conducted negotiations with the Palestinians or Syria. According to
the Israeli media, Olmert tapped third parties to approach Syria to feel out whether Damascus is seriously interested in negotiations. Syria, which signed a military alliance with Iran, openly hosts Hamas and Islamic Jihad leaders. The U.S. accuses Syria of fueling and aiding the insurgency in Iraq.

Israel says Syria has been allowing large quantities of weapons to be transported from its borders to Hezbollah. Syria has been widely blamed for the 2005 assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. Syria is accused by Israel and pro-Democratic Lebanese politicians of fueling instability in Lebanon the past few weeks by backing Fatah al-Islam, a group claiming connections to al-Qaida that has been battling the Lebanese Army since May 20, killing some 107 people, including 47 soldiers and 60 terrorists. The clashes erupted just before the U.N. was set to call for the establishment of an international tribunal to try the killers of Hariri. Syria has been widely blamed for the assassination and for a string of subsequent attacks that have rocked Lebanon.

EU's Solana says Gaza force a possibility
By David Brunnstrom Reuters - Wednesday, June 7 07:02 pm

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - An international peacekeeping force for the Gaza strip is a possibility, even though it would probably be difficult for Egypt to accept, the European Union's foreign policy chief said on Wednesday.Javier Solana told the European Parliament in Brussels that for the first time in many, many years, the idea of an international force was not out of the question.Solana said two groups in the Israeli parliament had said it may be the moment to call for such a force, at least to start with, in the south of the region where the Rafa border crossing to Egypt is located.We are working on that, he said. The Israelis are also considering that possibility, the Palestinians are considering that possibility, the Egyptians are considering that possibility.

Solana said it would probably be difficult for Egypt as deployment of such a force might give the impression it was not able to control that part of the border. However, he added:I think we can still get into discussions on these issues and maybe eventually get a solution.The EU's External Relations Commissioner Benita Ferrero-Waldner told the same hearing an international mechanism set up last year to provide aid to Palestinians while bypassing the government would be extended for a further three months until the end of September.She said humanitarian conditions remained dire and appealed to EU members states to provide additional funds.

The United Nations special envoy to the Middle East called last month on Israel, the Palestinians and the United Nations to consider an international force for Gaza.Israel has long resisted Palestinian calls for peacekeepers in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, saying their deployment would interfere with Israeli security measures.But it has signalled flexibility since last year's Lebanon war, which ended
with a boosted United Nations peacekeeper force in former Hezbollah guerrilla strongholds.Israel pulled its troops and settlers out of Gaza in 2005, but cross-border violence has continued and last month it launched an air campaign to try to stop militants from firing rockets at southern Israeli towns.

ISRAEL RECAPTURES JERUSALEM 40 YRS AGO TODAY

ISRAEL WILL BE IN CONTROL OF JERUSALEM, THE SIGN OF THE START OF THE LAST GENERATION.

LUKE 21:24
24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

ISRAEL CAPTURES JERUSALEM JUNE 5-10 1967. THE FINAL GENERATION COUNTDOWN TO THE END OF THE AGE. (40 YEARS AGO TODAY)

June 6, 2007 - Forty Years

We are now marking the 40th anniversary of the Six Day War. It is a war that is still studied in war colleges. Some -- myself included -- see it as a modern day miracle.In May 1967, Egyptian president Gamel Nasser ordered the UN peacekeeping forces that had been in place in the Sinai since 1956 to withdraw and began to amass Egyptian troops. He closed the Straits of Tiran, in defiance of international law, blocking Israeli exit from the port of Eilat. On May 28, he said, The existence of Israel is in itself an aggression...We will not accept any coexistence with Israel...The war with Israel is in effect since 1948.On June 1, PLO representative Ahmed Shukairy declared, with regard to what would happen to Israelis if there was a war, Those who survive will remain in Palestine. I estimate that none of them will survive.By June 5, Egypt, Syria and Jordan had over 300,000 soldiers poised to wipe out Israel, with promised back-up from other Arab nations.If you are old enough (as I am), you will remember this: the sense of terror for what seemed about to unfold.

~~~~~~~~~~

Then the IDF did a lightning pre-emptive attack, demolishing the Egyptian airforce on the ground in a matter of hours. Within six days Israel took eastern Jerusalem (The Temple Mount is in our hands), Judea and Samaria -- the cradle of Jewish heritage, the Gaza Strip, the Golan Heights, and the Sinai.

It should be noted that the IDF wanted to avoid fighting on several fronts at the same time and sent a message to King Hussein of Jordan that if he stayed out of the war, Israel would not attack Jordan. But Nasser misled Hussein into believing the Arabs were winning, and he rushed to join, attacking during the very first day of the war.

~~~~~~~~~~

Israel, vulnerable, beleaguered, and threatened, overnight became a victor of astounding proportions. Deterrence power had been established, the narrow boundaries within which she had existed so vulnerably had been extended, areas that were traditionally Jewish had been acquired. The celebrating was joyous, the relief and gratitude beyond measure.

~~~~~~~~~~

But the war wasn't actually over in six days. It has gone on for 40 years, and continues now. Still we face Arabs who blatantly declare that they wish to destroy us totally. We face, as well, a Palestinian Arab propaganda war that has turned us into aggressors, so that our astounding victory has in many eyes become a negative. Thus it is that Israel is labeled an occupier. A loaded term, and one used inappropriately here. But it sticks, and it makes the Israelis the bad guys -- we are the people who make all of those poor innocent Palestinians suffer. Our occupation is the cause of that terrorism, which is a fight for freedom. This, most certainly, is the perspective of the British, for example, who are prepared to boycott our institutions.The onus is put on us, rather than where it belongs. People forget that we went to war to prevent our destruction, not to acquire territory. People forget that the Palestinians have had multiple opportunities to have a state, but rejected them because destroying us was higher on their list of priorities. And I say, ENOUGH!

~~~~~~~~~~

There is no occupation. Occupation occurs when one sovereign power moves into the land of another sovereign power. This is not the case in Judea and Samaria. The world needs to be reminded. Jews need to be reminded. The Mandate for Palestine gave this land to us for the establishment of a Jewish homeland. The Mandate has never been superseded in international law.

Why was our homeland not established in the first place from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean, if that is what the Mandate gave us? Because the Arabs carried on. And the international community deferred to their protests and suggested dividing Palestine. The notion of dividing Palestine between the river and the sea was actually an outrage, because Palestine had already been divided once. The original Mandate for Palestine included what is today Jordan. Some 70% of the mandated land was lopped off and given by the British to the Hashemites. The Palestinian Arabs had their nation. But -- hey! -- what did the world care about Jewish rights?

And so -- even though the Arabs ultimately declined the offer of half of Palestine between the river and the sea, because they wanted the whole thing -- the Jews accepted the proposal of a nation to be established in less than what had been promised. But according to international law, the remainder of the land -- Mandate land -- was still ours.When Israel declared independence in 1948, the Arabs states attacked immediately. When the war was over in 1949, Israel had boundaries (truce lines) that extended beyond the boundaries that had been in place at the time of independence. But Israel did not have to annex these areas, she simply had to extend civil law to them. This, of itself, is proof of the fact that the land is ours and was accepted as so. The principle in force then continues to pertain today -- nothing has superseded it. When we took Judea and Samaria in 1967, we took our own land.

~~~~~~~~~~

There is no occupation of the Palestinian people, either. (I would like to say that there is no Palestinian people -- and historically it's easy to prove this case -- but they have invented themselves so that they believe it and the world believes it, so it's pointless to go in that direction.) At present, the Palestinians manage their own affairs -- schools, press, police, etc. If there are incursions by the IDF into Palestinian cities, it is for security reasons. If there are checkpoints set up by Israel that inhibit the free movement of Palestinians, it is, likewise, for security reasons. If they stopped trying to kill us, they'd be left to do their own thing.NOWHERE it is written that we must give this Palestinian people a state of their own on a portion of our land. Once they stop trying to kill us, we have an obligation to accord them a variety of civil rights, and it would be possible to do so drawing on one of a variety of different paradigms.

~~~~~~~~~~

It's time for us to hold our heads high and know who we are. To stop apologizing for our existence and our need to defend ourselves. It's time to remind the world that Israel also has rights! It's also time to remind the world that -- hysterical and manipulative Palestinian propaganda to the contrary -- we are the most humane of people. Look at the concern for civilian life exhibited as we take limited actions against the Kassam attacks. Look at the story of an Israeli hospital treating Palestinian children with heart problems, even as the Palestinians shoot at us. Where else does this sort of thing happen? see my website www.ArlenefromIsrael.info

Cyclone lashes Oman as Iran battens down by Laith Abou-Ragheb JUN 6,07

MUSCAT (AFP) - Cyclone Gonu lashed Oman on Wednesday as thousands of people were evacuated in the Gulf state and neighbouring Iran for the strongest tropical storm to hit the region in 30 years. As Gonu -- the Maldives word for a bag made of palm fronds -- hit the Omani capital strong winds snapped tree branches and blew over street signs. Roads were flooded and thick fog blanketed out the mountains encircling the city.Heavy rain and wind led to flights being suspended at Muscat airport, but the cyclone has so far not affected shipping in the Strait of Hormuz through which at least a quarter of world oil supplies passes, officials said.

Oil experts said any impact on world oil prices would be temporary provided facilities in the area stayed intact.If shipping is halted through Hormuz, I think there is going to be a panic in world oil markets and prices could shoot to as high as 80 dollars, but of course for a very short period, Kuwaiti oil expert Kamel al-Harami said.The streets of Muscat were almost deserted save for all-terrain vehicles after police asked people to stay indoors and thousands of residents were evacuated, but the storm weakened steadily after making landfall.Omani television showed rising seawater advancing some 500 metres (yards) inland, flooding coastal roads in the Sohar region 200 kilometres (125 miles) northwest of Muscat.

The ministry of transport said the ports of Sohar and Qabus in Muscat were closed.Cyclone Gonu initially packed winds of 260 kilometres (160 miles) an hour but they have now dropped dramatically to some 90 kilometres (50 miles), weather officials said.They said the cyclone was expected to be the strongest to hit the Arabian peninsula since 1977.However OPEC powerhouse Saudi Arabia while lies west of Oman, said it did not expect the storm to affect its oil-producing regions.Maritime activities in the Strait of Hormuz are as usual. We have no indication of any disruption, an Omani transport ministry official told AFP.Iran evacuated residents living on the coast or alongside river banks in its southern provinces as the storm approached, and downpours were already drenching coastal areas. The southern ports of Bandar-e Jask and Chahbahar were set to be the worst affected.

In neighbouring Pakistan, fishermen in the southwest were told to stay ashore for the next 24 hours. Rough seas have already damaged dozens of fishing boats in the southwestern Baluchistan province, officials said.The army, police and civil defence were all mobilised in Oman and police said about 18,000 people been evacuated. There were no reports of any deaths or injuries, although there was some damage.Schools and businesses were ordered to stay shut until Sunday to weather the storm.

A power cut in one Muscat hotel forced guests to huddle in corridors with torches as the storm raged outside. John Watt, a 50-year-old energy consultant from Scotland, said he tried but failed to visit an oil facility on Wednesday. Driving conditions were atrocious. There must have been two to three feet of water on the road, he said. Markus and Bettina Kollman from Germany were stranded with their two children, Alana, 13, and Janik, 10. The family had attempted to drive to Dubai in the neighbouring United Arab Emirates but they were turned back at the border. My daughter is disappointed as she'll miss an appointment to have some henna tattoos. But my son is excited because it means he'll probably miss some schooldays, Bettina Kollman said. High waves also washed the east coast of OPEC member the UAE, official media said. But the meteorology department said it expected the cyclone to have a minimal impact. Yemen, at the southern end of the Arabian peninsula, sent civil defence teams to coastal areas ahead of the storm.

Israel displays rare Old Testament text By BEN HUBBARD, Associated Press Writer June 6, 3:57 PM ET

JERUSALEM - A rare Old Testament manuscript some 1,300 years old is on display for the first time, after making its way from a secret room in a Cairo synagogue to the hands of an American collector. The manuscript, containing the Song of the Sea section of the Old Testament's Book of Exodus and dating to around the seventh century A.D., comes from what scholars call the silent era a span of 600 years between the third and eighth centuries from which almost no Hebrew manuscripts survive.It is now on public display for the first time at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem.

It comes from a period of almost darkness in terms of Hebrew manuscripts, said Stephen Pfann, a textual scholar at the University of the Holy Land in Jerusalem. Scholars have long noted the lack of original biblical manuscripts written between the time of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the latest of which come from the third century, and texts written in the ninth and 10th centuries, Pfann said.Scholars can only piece together scraps of information on the period using translations into Greek and other languages, he said, so to have a piece of the original text from this period is quite remarkable.The parchment is believed to have been left in the Cairo Genizah, a vast depository of medieval Jewish manuscripts discovered in the late 1800s in a previously unknown room at Cairo's ancient Ben Ezra Synagogue. It was in private hands until the late 1970s, when its Lebanese-born American owner turned it over to the Rare Books, Manuscripts, and Special Collections Library at Duke University.

The manuscript is now on extended loan to the Israel Museum and is on display in the museum's Shrine of the Book, which also houses the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Bigotry against Israel June 6,07

Dear Stan,

We want to alert you to a very important Israel-related issue that has arisen—and to tell you how you can play a critical role in addressing it.In 2005, the Association of University Teachers in Britain (AUT) called for a boycott of two leading Israeli universities. And in 2006, another British teachers union, the National Association of Teachers in Further and Higher Education (NATFHE), followed suit.These two unions merged last year—and, as you might expect, the new organization that was formed, the University and College Union (UCU), is a hotbed of anti-Israel activism. Last week, the UCU passed two motions calling for a boycott of all Israeli academics.

Learn how you can send a message to the UCU today.

What is the UCU's problem with Israel? Israel is, after all, a democratic country where access to education and academic freedom flourish. If the UCU were to single out any nation in the Middle East for criticism, one would think it would be one of Israel's neighbors—the Arab and Muslim countries where freedom and access to education are often greatly restricted and, in some cases, nonexistent, especially for women. But the UCU has not called for a boycott of any other nation in the world—not China, Saudi Arabia, Zimbabwe, Iran, Sudan, or any other country where gross violations of human rights occur routinely.While the UCU is silent about oppression in these countries, it has harsh words for democratic Israel. In these motions it maintains that Israel's 40-year occupation has seriously damaged the fabric of Palestinian society. No mention is made of the brutal fighting between rival Palestinian factions that has turned Gaza into a war zone. The UCU also maintains that Israel denies Palestinians educational rights through shootings and arrests of teachers, lecturers and students a scurrilous lie so far removed from reality that it can only be explained by a deep-seated anti-Israel prejudice.

Today, we need you to add your voice to the growing chorus of those speaking out against the outrageous, prejudiced actions of the UCU. Your response can make a difference—we saw this in 2005, when public outcry ultimately led the AUT to drop their call for a boycott. We've made it easy for you to send a message to UCU leadership telling them that Israel's friends will not stand by and see her treated unfairly. Send a message to the UCU today—and take a stand for Israel!

Man tries to jump into popemobile By DANIELA PETROFF, Associated Press Writer JUN 6,07

VATICAN CITY - A German man tried to jump into Pope Benedict XVI's uncovered popemobile as the pontiff began his general audience Wednesday and held onto it for a few seconds before being wrestled to the ground by security officers. The pope was not hurt and didn't even appear to notice that the man — who was between 20 or 30 years old — had jumped over the protective barrier in the square and had grabbed onto the white popemobile as it drove by. The pontiff kept waving to the crowd and didn't even look back.At least eight security officers who were trailing the vehicle as it moved slowly through the square grabbed the man and wrestled him to the ground.The man was a 27-year-old German who showed signs of mental imbalance, said the Rev. Federico Lombardi, the Vatican spokesman.

His aim was not an attempt on the pope's life but to attract attention to himself, Lombardi told reporters.The man, whom Lombardi declined to identify, was interrogated by Vatican police and then taken to a hospital for psyciatric treatment, he said.The man wore a pink T-shirt and dark shorts, a beige baseball cap and sunglasses. He vaulted up and over the barricade from the second or third row back. He got as far as the back of the jeep, holding onto it for a few seconds, before being wrestled to the ground.The jeep kept moving, and the German-born Benedict kept waving, then proceeded with the audience as if nothing had happened. Since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, the Vatican has tightened security in St. Peter's Square when the pope is present. All visitors must pass by police to get into the square, with some walking through metal detectors or being searched with metal- detecting wands.

Nevertheless, virtually anyone can attend the audience. While tickets are required, they can often be obtained at the last minute — particularly in good weather when the audience is held outside in the piazza.When the pope uses the popemobile in St. Peter's, it is usually uncovered; when he travels overseas or outside the Vatican, he usually uses one outfitted with bulletproof glass.The pope is protected by a combination of Swiss Guards, Vatican police and Italian police.On Wednesday, the head of the Swiss Guards, Col. Elmar Maeder, walked along one side of the popemobile while the pontiff's personal bodyguard, Domenico Giani, took the other side. Several plainclothes security officials trailed them.Benedict stood up behind the driver, holding onto a bar to steady himself, with his personal secretary, Monsignor Georg Ganswein, seated behind him.St. Peter's is cordoned off with wooden barriers to create "routes" that the popemobile can drive along to make the pontiff more visible to the crowd, which on Wednesday numbered about 35,000.

From his perch on the jeep, the pope waves and blesses the crowd, and occasionally will bless a baby handed up to him by a security guard. The jeep, though, never stops, with security officials walking or jogging alongside the whole way.Benedict's predecessor, Pope John Paul II, was shot in the abdomen and seriously wounded on May 13, 1981, as he was riding in St. Peter's Square at the start of his general audience. The gunman, Mehmet Ali Agca of Turkey, was caught and served his sentence in Italy before being transferred to his native land.

High-level group writes new-look EU treaty
04.06.2007 - 17:30 CET | By Honor Mahony

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - A small group of politicians from around the EU have published a repackaged treaty for the bloc, hoping to feed into the emerging consensus among member states that a simplified treaty has to be extracted from the ashes of the rejected EU constitution.Unofficially known as the Amato Group - it is headed by former Italian prime minister Giuliano Amato - the outfit's contribution comes at a crucial time in negotiations on creating a new-look treaty after the original EU constitution was rejected mid 2005.The 16-strong group, containing several former prime ministers as well as two current European Commissioners, has stripped the rejected constitution of its constitutional elements - including the article on the EU's symbols and the controversial God-less preamble - reduced the charter of fundamental rights to one legally binding article and say they do not mind if the proposed EU foreign minister ends up with another name.Essentially, however, the main elements of the original constitution have been kept in. We do not exclude that you reach the same final result, said Mr Amato at the unveiling of the document on Monday (4 June).

70 articles

The treaty has been reduced to 70 articles (12,800 words) plus two protocols, one containing institutional changes and one containing policy innovations - by contrast the original EU constitution contained 448 articles and around 63,000 words.The chopped down dimensions come from only taking the innovations contained in the third part of the treaty - which essentially ties together former EU treaties - and putting them into additional protocols.Structurally speaking, the two protocols would be attached to the existing Treaty on the European Union and the Treaty Establishing the European Community.The Amato treaty is the latest in a long line of proposals – MEPs and several academics have also been busy on this front – intending to provide the perfect solution for getting the EU out of the political impasse it has been in since French and Dutch voters said no to the EU constitution two years ago.Mr Amato and his co-authors argue the strength of their position lies with being thorough and following through changes in one part of the text, with the technical and legal implications in another part of the text.

A bird in the hand…

Their re-packaged but pared down EU constitution also fits in with the current trend of discussion in member states toward a simplified treaty Pushed by Nicolas Sarkozy, the new French president, and recently given backing by Spain and Italy, the phrase has been much bandied about but so far has only been elaborated on at press conferences.When asked how his treaty differed from Mr Sarkozy's ideas – as it takes up much of what Mr Sarkozy has said is crucial for any new treaty - the former Italian prime minister replied our treaty has been written.Still, it is unclear how it is supposed to fit into the ongoing treaty discussions being run by the German EU presidency. For its part, Berlin is conducting behind-the-scenes negotiations to try and prepare the path ahead of the 21-22 June summit.At the June meeting, they hope to be able to extract a concrete mandate for a new look treaty which will retain as much of the original constitution as possible but introduce enough changes to allow French and Dutch leaders to return to their parliaments with a text that looks different.

PA Satisfied With the Clash With Israel
by Nissan Ratzlav-Katz (INN JUNE 6,07)

The Palestinian Authority is pleased with the course of its current warfare against Israel, according to IDF intelligence. The PA is further convinced that Israel will not send serious ground forces deep into Gaza. Reporting to the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Monday, the head of the IDF Intelligence Corps' research division, Brigadier-General Yosef Beiditz, said, The recent escalation began as an internal clash between Hamas and Fatah, with Hamas prevailing.When the Hamas recognized that the clash with Fatah was fomenting dissatisfaction among the Gaza populace, Brig.-Gen. Beiditz explained, the Hamas decided to redirect the violence towards Israel.... They are thus far pleased with the results of the conflict with us. They understand that Israel will not undertake a ground operation deep into Gaza. And they are also pleased with the emptying of the towns in the south [of Israel].

The IDF officer concluded his report on developments in Judea, Samaria and Gaza with a warning that the Hamas is still intent on carrying out a high-quality terrorist attack, such as another kidnapping.

Also present at the committee meeting was Defense Minister Amir Peretz. He said that the IDF operations in Gaza will continue as planned. The Hamas, Peretz declared, would not determine when there will be a ceasefire. We will cease our forces' operations only if we come to the conclusion that the Hamas has ceased using Israel as a the solution to all of its problems.

The Hizbullah is Preparing a Possible Summer Offensive

Regarding the threat from Lebanon's Hizbullah, Brig.-Gen. Beiditz said that the terrorist organization was continuing to improve its physical position and abilities. Armed Hizbullah forces are located in open areas south of the Litani River, according to Beiditz, where they are operating out of sight of United Nations troops stationed in the region. The Hizbullah is preparing itself for a move that may take place in the summer, the Brig.-Gen. said, adding that there is also evidence that Syria is preparing for just such an eventuality. Included in the Syrian preparations, Beiditz suggested, was the possibility of a direct clash with Israel. Syria is increasing weapons purchases and training exercises. While there is no change in the deployment in the Golan Heights, which is a defensive array, [Syria] could improve its positions and deploy offensive capabilities.Defense Minister Peretz noted that the change from defensive to offensive deployment on the Golan can be accomplished within days, not months. ...We are prepared for any eventuality. At the same time, Peretz said that Israel should not shut the door on Syria's intimations that it is prepared to negotiate with the Jewish State.

MK Eitam Calls for an Emergency National Unity Government

At the conclusion of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee meeting, Knesset Member Effie Eitam (NRP-National Union) suggested that the serious security challenges Israel faces at this time justify an emergency two-year national unity government.Our region is facing a strategic threat in the form of an Iran determinedly proceeding towards a nuclear bomb.... Therefore, Eitam said, I propose a national emergency government for the next two years, due to these regional strategic developments. We are wasting the abilities of the IDF due to political weakness.

IDF Holds Exercise Simulating War With Syria
by Ezra HaLevi (INN) JUNE 6,07

The IDF held a large-scale exercise Tuesday simulating the invasion of Syria in the context of a war with the hostile Arab country to Israels north. Infantry units, tank divisions and the Air Force took part in the exercise. It took place at the Shizafon IDF installation, in the southern Negev. Asked about the exercise by Army Radio, Defense Minister Amir Peretz said that the IDF was indeed preparing for the possibility of war with Syria, but said this does not mean that Israel would initiate such a war. Our preparedness is not an indication of any decision by either us or Syrians to go to war - these are purely defensive measures, he said. IDF Intelligence Chief Maj.-Gen. Amos Yadlin said Syria will not attack Israel and that this upgrading of military and troop movements is merely precautionary. He said Syria saw what happened during the Second Lebanon War and our deterrence became more effective.A similar IDF drill conducted last year was meant to simulate a Gaza invasion which took place on a limited scale soon after when Cpl. Gilad Shalit was kidnapped by Gaza terrorists. This year, IDF Chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi made reference to both Gaza and the northern front in his briefing before the IDF Officers Training School. The IDF is preparing for an escalation on both the Palestinian and the northern fronts, he said. The IDF's goal is to improve its readiness while simultaneously continuing to fight terror.

Syria Confirms: Planning For War

Syrian MP Muhammad Habash told Al-Jazeera Arabic world news satellite television network Tuesday that Syria is indeed actively preparing for war with Israel, and that Syria expects the war will start this summer. He claimed it was Israels government, however, that wants the war, in order to survive politically.

Officials Weigh in on Whether to Negotiate With Syria

Peretz said that he hopes that the upgrading of military preparedness on both sides will not preclude Syria and Israel engaging in negotiations. IDF Chief of Staff Ashkenazi has also reportedly advocated secret negotiations with Syria. Mossad Chief Meir Dagan, however, strongly opposed talk of responding to Bashar Assads public overtures saying they are aimed purely at alleviating pressure on Syria to curb its support for various terrorist groups.

Gaza Warnings

In his briefing of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, Yadlin warned that Israel must prepare for the possibility that Katyusha rockets with a 40 km (25 mile) range will be obtained and used by terror groups in Gaza.

What is a cyclone? By The Associated Press JUNE 5,07

Cyclone is the name used for hurricanes in the Indian Ocean and Western Pacific. Gonu, like all storms in the northern hemisphere, spins counterclockwise. By contrast, because of the pull of the earth's rotation, storms in the southern hemisphere rotate clockwise. Since 2004, cyclones in the Indian Ocean have been named, the last part of the world to take up the practice. Names are chosen from a list of 64 submitted by eight countries in the region. Only nine of the names have been used in the last three years; generally, no more than five storms hit the northern Indian Ocean each year.Gonu, submitted by the Maldives, describes a thatched bag used to carry chickens, though the bags — and the word — are fairly rare these days.Sources: The Met Office, a weather tracking agency within the British Ministry of Defense.

Landslide damages famed valley in Russia By MANSUR MIROVALEV, Associated Press Writer Tue Jun 5, 7:16 AM ET

MOSCOW - A severe landslide has nearly obliterated one of Russia's most noted natural wonders, the Valley of Geysers, officials and environmental activists said Monday. The valley in the Kronotsky national reserve on the Far Eastern Kamchatka Peninsula contained about 90 geysers, as well as an array of thermal pools, and is the region's most popular tourist attraction.A snow-covered mound collapsed Sunday within seconds and caused a massive landslide, about a mile long and 600 feet wide, burying two-thirds of the valley, park ranger Valery Tsypkov said in televised remarks.The landslide dumped millions of cubic yards of mud and stones and destroyed most of the valley's geysers and dozens of thermal springs, stopping yards away from the valley's only hotel, he said.

Tourists and park personnel had to be evacuated, but no injuries were reported.The splendor of the valley has changed beyond recognition, Kronotsky national reserve director Natalya Radugova said in televised remarks.Some officials were more hopeful about the valley's future.The natural dam created by the landslide will turn the valley which was discovered only in 1941 into a thermal lake that could become a new tourist jewel of Russia, tourism official Denis Lazarev said, according to Russian news agencies.Experts feared many of the valley's geysers were obliterated.We witnessed a unique natural event, said Oleg Mitvol, the deputy head of Russia's environmental watchdog agency Rosprirodnadzor.

But the consequences of such a natural catastrophe are irreversible.A sparsely populated peninsula, Kamchatka is located some 4,200 miles from Moscow. It was completely closed to foreigners until 1990 and now attracts thousands of tourists annually with its volcanos, geysers and national parks.This is tragic for humankind, in that we have lost one of the great natural wonders of the world, Laura Williams of the World Wildlife Fund said in a statement posted on the group's Web site. But for nature, this is only a blip in the history of the planet's evolution.

Northern B.C. braces for more severe flooding
Last Updated: Tuesday, June 5, 2007 | 10:05 AM PT - CBC News

Several major rivers in northern B.C. are expected to rise to record-breaking levels in the next few days, says B.C.'s River Forecast Centre.

The warm temperatures and rain have seen the Skeena, Bulkley, Nass and Fraser rivers rise rapidly in the past few days.Many roads and back roads have already been washed out in the area, including parts of the Nisga'a Highway between Canyon City and Greenville.A city street in Terrace has also been flooded.An evacuation alert was issued Tuesday morning for Braun Island, New Remo and low-lying areas of Queensway and Dutch Valley all in the Terrace area.Residents are advised to prepare an emergency kit and be ready to leave on short notice.

More than 50 people had already left their homes near Terrace voluntarily as the Skeena River rises. Most families have now left the tiny community of Usk, as ferry service was suspended. The backup cable car service was also stopped because it was travelling less than three metres above the river, which is carrying huge trees and debris.Many residents of Old Remo and members of the Kitsales band had also left their homes because of road washouts.The Ministry of Transportation says it's keeping a close eye on sections of the main highway out of Terrace, where the Skeena has risen to the white line.The back road into Gitanyow [Kitwancool] was closed by flooding, and residents have been sandbagging the other road into the community.Some students in community were sent home from school early on Monday because of fears school buses would be stopped by flooded roads.

The Bulkley River has flooded farmers' fields and the golf course in Smithers. The low-lying Ebeneezer Flats-22nd Avenue Road along the river has been closed due to flooding.No evacuation order have been issued. But some families in the area along the river left their homes Monday voluntarily.

The Ksan First Nations museum near Hazelton had to sandbag its totem poles and truck out artifacts.Emergency officials in Prince George say the Fraser is still rising following heavy rain overnight, and the river is now at about 9.3 metres, which is just below flood level.Residents of three small riverside areas along the Fraser in Prince George are living in a locally declared state of emergency.Officials say the people living along River Road, Pulpmill Road, and Paddlewheel Park should be ready to move quickly if an evacuation order is issued.High water advisories have also been issued for Foreman Flats and the Shelley Townsite in the Prince George area.Officials say that by the weekend, the upper Fraser could reach its highest level since they began measuring back in the 1950s.

Meanwhile, Via Rail says the flooding in northwestern B.C. has made the Prince George-Prince Rupert rail line impassable.Crews are working on the problem.

OZONE DEPLETION

ISAIAH 30:26-27
26 Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.
27 Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:

MATTHEW 24:21-22,29
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.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened (Daylight hours shortened)
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

REVELATION 16:7-9
7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.

World warmer than average in year to May: UK Tue Jun 5, 8:11 AM ET

LONDON (Reuters) - The world was slightly warmer than average in the first four months of this year, but 2007 may not turn out to be the hottest on record, Britain's official weather forecaster said on Tuesday.

El Nino's lesser-known sister weather phenomenon, La Nina, could bring a cooling touch, the Meteorological Office said.The first four months of 2007 are on track with our global forecast for a warmer than average year, but the cool La Nina event developing in the equatorial Pacific could prevent 2007 from being the warmest-ever year, David Parker, a climate scientist at the Met Office said.La Nina, or the girl, which recurs every few years, is characterized by unusually cold ocean temperatures in the eastern Pacific Ocean around the Equator, which can affect weather around the globe.

The better known El Nino, or the boy, is characterized by unusually warm ocean temperatures in the Equatorial Pacific, according to the U.S.' National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.As the leaders of the rich industrialized countries meet in Germany this week to discuss climate change, among other global concerns, Met Office figures released on Tuesday show the mean global temperature for the period January to April was almost 0.5 degrees Celsius above the long term average.Data from Britain's leading climatologists also show the spring in Britain was the warmest since records began in 1914.

The UK mean spring temperature was 9.0 C, 0.2 degrees above the previous high set in 1945.The balmy UK spring follows one of the warmest recorded winters, and a run of record breaking years - the last five years are the warmest on record.The evidence supporting scientists warnings that high levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is warming up the planet is causing increasing public concern.According to a survey published on Tuesday by the Nielsen Company and Oxford University's Environmental Change Institute, public anxiety about climate change has risen dramatically over the last six months.

Sunday, May 20, 2007 - Prophecies of War

This past Sunday, about 10 ministers of the Israel government gathered in a Rav's home, all fan's of the Rav whom has predicted prophecies in the past that have come to fruitation. He predicated in the past that Sharon will have brain damage and will not finish his PM term. He also foresaw how the political struggle will end.This past Sunday, the Rav said an extremely frightening forecast, Within a month till 3 months, there will be a war, said the Rav, It will be a very difficult war. He turned to one of the ministers and told him to tell PM olmert, Tell Olmert to return the gas mask to all citizens, immediately.

The minister who spoke to his friends about this was agitated from the predictions. It left a deep impression on all of them that the Rav's words are true.This prophecy made a deep impression on the government and tomorrow, the govenment will send out Order 8. Order 8 is emergency call up for war for IDF military reserve soldiers. Before Shavuot last year, Sara Imenu, a'h, told me via a dream that Moshiach arrival is very connected to Gaza (AKA Gush Katif) and the war will start from there.

Bush bashes Putin on democracy on eve of G8 summit By Madeline Chambers and Louis Charbonneau JUNE 5,07

HEILIGENDAMM, Ger (Reu) U.S. President George W. Bush criticized Russia on
democracy on Tuesday but sought to calm President Vladimir Putin's anger over U.S. missile shield plans on the eve of a G8 summit in Germany.

Speaking in Prague before heading to the Baltic coast resort of Heiligendamm for the meeting of major powers, Bush said Putin had nothing to fear from the shield, calling it a purely defensive measure.Russia is not our enemy, Bush said after meeting Czech leaders on a visit aimed at highlighting the country's emergence from Soviet domination.He said he would urge Putin at the summit to cooperate with the U.S. plan to deploy a radar system in the Czech Republic and interceptor missiles in Poland, but later in a speech took a dig at Moscow's record on democracy.In Russia reforms that once promised to empower citizens have been derailed, with troubling implications for democratic development, Bush said.

His comments are part of an escalating war of words between the former Cold War rivals which the German hosts fear could overshadow the June 6-8 summit of the so-called Group of Eight -- Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia and the United States.Putin has said if Washington pushes ahead with its plans to deploy the missile system, Russia will revert to targeting its missiles on Europe as it did during the Cold War.The two powers are also at odds on the fate of breakaway Serbian province Kosovo, with Washington backing independence and Moscow supporting Belgrade's efforts to prevent autonomy at all costs.

MOVEMENT ON CLIMATE

On global warming, another contentious issue where the Europeans have clashed frequently with Washington, it appeared leaders would make progress on goals to negotiate a follow-up to the Kyoto Protocol which Washington shunned in 2001.New climate change proposals from Bush last week had sowed fears in Europe that Washington would go outside the well-established United Nations process to curb greenhouse gas emissions.But James Connaughton, a senior climate adviser to Bush, said in Berlin the he was confident major powers could agree how to create a new framework for combating global warming after 2012, when the first period of Kyoto expires.It was never anyone's intention to have a separate process. The U.S. is a party to the U.N.'s framework convention on climate change.

That is the forum where we would take action together on climate change, Connaughton said.A German official told reporters in Berlin after a meeting of sherpas the chief negotiators from G8 countries -- that it was possible to combine Bush's plan with the U.N. track.

But he said there had been no agreement on specific climate change goals, including Merkel's call for a goal of reducing global CO2 emissions by 50 percent by 2050.There's still time before the summit, he said. We're still talking.Informal meetings of the world's top industrial powers date back to 1975, when the G6 gathered in Rambouillet, France, to coordinate economic policy following a global oil crisis and the collapse of the Bretton Woods system of fixed exchange rates. Canada joined the club in 1976 and Russia in 1998.In Heiligendamm, the leaders will discuss foreign policy issues including Iran's nuclear program, Middle East peace, Sudan and Kosovo. The German hosts are also aiming to secure new G8 pledges on development aid and AIDS funding for Africa. Security was high in the areas surrounding the Kempinski Grand Hotel, where the leaders will meet, with green German police cars swarming along the small winding roads that surround the beachside resort. Some 16,000 security personnel are in area for the summit and leaders will be sheltered from thousands of demonstrators by a 12-kilometre (7.5 mile) fence topped with barbed wire. Almost 1,000 people were injured on Saturday when violence broke out at an anti-G8 protest in the nearby city of Rostock.

About 400 protesters with anti-G8 signs tried to block one of the road exits from Rostock airport on Tuesday evening shortly before Bush landed. (Additional reporting by Tabassum Zakaria and Jan Lopatka in Prague, Erik Kirschbaum in Rostock)

PREMEDITATED MERGER Military positioned to launch action – here. Columnist's exposé reveals planning for 'domestic emergencies' June 5, 2007 - 2007 WorldNetDaily.com

The United States military is being positioned to be put into action under presidential authority in any one of a dozen scenarios within the United States – including natural disasters, epidemics, terrorist attacks, insurrections, or domestic violence including conspiracies, according to a report from WND columnist Jerome R. Corsi. He has concluded that under the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, the military of the United States and Canada are turning NORTHCOMM into a domestic military command structure, with authority extending to Mexico, even though Mexico has not formally joined with the current United States-Canadian NORTHCOM command structure.

President Bush. President Bush appears to have positioned the U.S. military and the National Guard acting under presidential authority to intervene in a wide range of domestic incidents that could occur anywhere in North America, he wrote.

He cited a number of developments, including the 2002 order establishing NORTHCOM as response for homeland defense of the U.S., Canada, Mexico and parts of the Caribbean and some Atlantic and Pacific waters. That organization already controls the North American Aerospace Defense Command, a joint U.S.-Canadian effort, he said. Secondly, section 1076 of the John Warner Defense Appropriation Act for Fiscal Year 2007 grants the president the right to commandeer federal troops or state National Guard to use them domestically, he noted. And as WND has reported, the new National Security (NSPD-51) and Homeland Security (HSPD-20) Presidential Directives signed May 6 give the president unprecedented, almost dictatorial, powers should the president declare a national emergency. The columnist noted such a combination of provisions would allow President Bush to mobilize for a variety of events – such as a hurricane.

He said under USNORTHCOM, the U.S. command center, a number of exercises and operations already have been carried out, including ARDENT SENTRY – NORTHERN EDGE, VIGILANT GUARD, ALASKA SHIELD and others.

An exercise that finished just a few weeks ago included the Canada Command as a full partner and was the largest exercise to date in terms of the number of personnel, the length of the drill, the cost and the complexity of the exercise series. The exercise took place in New England, Alaska, as well as Ohio, Illinois, and Indiana, with cross-border deployments staged in the Indiana part of the exercise, he wrote. Gen. Victor E. Renuart, commander of NORAD and USNORTHCOM, recently told the media the exercise allowed us to validate the incredible amount of planning that has gone on since Hurricane Katrina, not only to respond to things like a hurricane, but also to ensure that the agencies responsible for homeland security and homeland defense really can work together under a series of demanding scenarios.WND also has reported that KBR, formerly a Halliburton subsidiary, has in place a $385 million Department of Homeland Security contract to build on a contingency basis detention facilities that could be utilized for domestic emergencies, including sudden mass immigration across our southern border.

Iran's president says it is too late to stop Iran's nuclear program
Tue Jun 5, 11:56 AM

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says it's too late to stop Iran's nuclear program. He is urging the West and the U.S. to abandon their arrogant policies of setting conditions. Ahmadinejad says despite pressure, Iran has only become stronger. The Iranian president also appeared to dismiss ambitions of using the controversial nuclear program for weapons making. What is atomic bomb good for? Thoughts can't be changed by nuclear bomb. Today is the day of thought and logic, he said. Washington and some of its allies fear Iran is trying to develop atomic weapons in violation of its commitments under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.

Iran denies the accusations and says the treaty gives it the right to pursue uranium enrichment for peaceful purposes. The UN Security Council first imposed sanctions on Iran in December and modestly increased them in March over Iran's refusal to suspend enrichment. The council is now preparing to debate on a third round of punitive measures. An International Atomic Energy Agency report last month provided the potential trigger for another round of sanctions by saying Tehran continued to defy the Security Council ban on enrichment and was instead expanding its activities.
