Clouds part, solar eclipse darkens north Australia

By KRISTEN GELINEAU | Associated Press – 2 hrs 16 mins ago NOV 14,12
SYDNEY (AP) — From boats bobbing on the Great Barrier Reef, to hot air balloons hovering over the rainforest, and the hilltops and beaches in between, tens of thousands of scientists, tourists and amateur astronomers watched as the sun, moon and Earth aligned and plunged northern Australia into darkness during a total solar eclipse Wednesday.Stubborn clouds that many feared would ruin the view parted — somewhat — in north Queensland, defying forecasts of a total eclipse-viewing bust and relieving spectators who had fanned out to glimpse the celestial phenomenon."Immediately before, I was thinking, 'Are we gonna see this?' And we just had a fantastic display — it was just beautiful," said Terry Cuttle of the Astronomical Association of Queensland, who has seen a dozen total solar eclipses over the years. "And right after it finished, the clouds came back again. It really adds to the drama of it."Spectators whooped and clapped with delight as the moon passed between the sun and Earth, leaving a slice of the continent's northeast in sudden darkness.Starting just after dawn, the eclipse cast its 150-kilometer (95-mile) shadow in Australia's Northern Territory, crossed the northeast tip of the country and was swooping east across the South Pacific, where no islands are in its direct path. A partial eclipse was visible from east Indonesia, the eastern half of Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and southern parts of Chile and Argentina. Totality — the darkness that happens at the peak of the eclipse — lasted just over two minutes in the parts of Australia where it was visible.Gloomy weather had left many eclipse-chasers who had traveled to Australia from around the globe anxious that they wouldn't be able to see a thing. But the clouds moved in time for many to watch as the moon blotted out the sun's rays and cast a shadow over the tropical landscape.Hank Harper, 61, and his two children flew from Los Angeles just to see the eclipse, and feared the clouds would ruin their adventure. The three of them hopped on board a hot air balloon with other eager tourists and staff from Hot Air Balloon Cairns, crossed their fingers — and were rewarded with a perfect view."We gambled everything — drove through the rain and didn't even know if the balloon was going to go up," he said by phone from the hot air balloon as he and Harrison, 10, and Reilly, 12, watched the sun's rays re-emerge from behind the moon while kangaroos hopped on the ground below. "It was everything I could have hoped for."On a dive-boat drifting along the blue waters of the Great Barrier Reef, a cheer of relief erupted as the clouds moved away at the moment of total eclipse, followed by a hush as darkness fell across the water. One scuba diver floated on his back in the sea, watching the phenomenon unfold as he bobbed in the waves. Birds on a nearby island, startled by the sudden lack of light, began to stir."It was absolutely amazing. We were coming out this morning and there was a wee bit of cloud around and we were apprehensive," Adam O'Malley of the Passions of Paradise dive company said by phone from his boat. "We got a full view — absolutely breathtaking."Some Queensland hotels have been booked up for more than three years and more than 50,000 people flooded into the region to watch the solar spectacle, said Jeff Gillies, regional director of Queensland Tourism.Skygazers crowded along palm-fringed beaches, fields and clifftops to watch the event through protective viewing glasses and homemade pinhole cameras that projected the sun's image onto makeshift screens. Fitness fanatics gathered for the Solar Eclipse Marathon, where the first rays of the sun re-emerging from behind the moon was the starting gun. Some began partying days ago at a weeklong eclipse festival.Scientists were studying how animals respond to the eclipse, with underwater cameras capturing the effects of sudden darkness on the creatures of the Great Barrier Reef.The next total solar eclipse won't happen until March 2015.

EU budget in disarray after MEPs veto talks

Today @ 08:00 NOV 14,12 By Benjamin Fox
BRUSSELS - EU spending plans for 2012 and 2013 are in disarray after talks between ministers and MEPs collapsed on Tuesday (13 November).With eight EU countries unwilling to agree to the European Commission's demand for an extra €9 billion to cover outstanding bills for this year, MEPs boycotted talks which had been intended to agree a budget for 2013 worth around €130 billion.After negotiations broke up last Friday, talks were expected to resume at 7pm Brussels time on Tuesday with a view to concluding a deal by a midnight deadline.However, with no agreement in sight on how to fill the €9 billion gap, European Parliament chief Martin Schultz told ministers that MEPs would not attend and were "prepared to refuse a compromise" if their demands were not met.Since no budget deal can be agreed without the consent of parliament, the move will force the commission to present a new budget proposal for 2013.If no agreement is reached ultimately, EU spending in 2013 will have to be approved on a month-by-month basis, on the grounds of a two percent inflationary rise, putting pressure on the EU countries demanding a budget freeze to agree a compromise.MEPs have supported the commission's wish to pass a budget worth €138 billion, a 6.8 percent increase compared to 2012. Most member states, however, are insisting on €5 billion less.Alain Lamassoure, the French centre-right deputy who chairs the parliament's budget committee, said in a statement that "given the current impossibility in which member states find themselves to solve the problem of the outstanding balance, the European Parliament cannot continue negotiations on next year's budget."
Ministers hit back, with Cypriot EU affairs minister, Andreas Mavroyiannis, accusing parliament of taking the budget “as a hostage." He added that the log-jam "augurs ill for the negotiations" on other parts of the budget.In October, the commission tabled an emergency proposal claiming that it needed an additional €9 billion to cover unpaid bills from projects completed earlier in the budgetary cycle.EU budgets invariably include a sizeable discrepancy between "committed funds" and actual spending. MEPs joined with the EU executive in criticising member states for agreeing to programmes and then refusing to pay for them.
Flagship EU policies including the Erasmus scheme, which places students at other European universities, and the European Social Fund are understood to be within weeks of a cash-flow crisis.Despite the collapse of negotiations, politicians confirmed that €670 million would be paid to the Italian regions affected by a series of earthquakes earlier in the year.Lamassoure said that the budget committee would vote on the aid package Thursday (15 November), with the deal being ratified in Strasbourg next week.But the impasse is causing rising concern among diplomats that next week's EU summit to discuss the seven year budgetary framework, worth €1 trillion, will also end in failure.A clear divide is opening up between a group of countries led by the UK, who want to freeze EU spending, and others who want an increase.At a set piece event in the European Parliament on Tuesday (13 November), Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk led a group of 15 member states demanding an increase in cohesion funds aimed at Europe's poorest regions.
'We are all here because we understand that cohesion policy equals growth and creation of jobs," said Tusk.

Ministers at odds on banking supervision

Today @ 09:28 NOV 14,12 By Valentina Pop
BERLIN - Finance ministers on Tuesday (13 November) remained at odds over how to include non-euro countries in a planned banking supervision scheme for the eurozone, making a 1 January deadline increasingly unlikely.Sweden led the charge against the plan tabled by the EU commission, which is aimed at setting up a new supervisory body within the European Central Bank and gradually extending its oversight on the 6,000 banks in the eurozone.At the core of the problem is how to include the euro "outs" in the supervisory scheme if they want to opt in, given that the governing council of the ECB is legally a eurozone-only body."Either the treaty is changed so that each member state is treated equally, or the supervisory body will have to be placed outside the ECB," Swedish finance minister Anders Borg told journalists after the meeting.Treaty change is a taboo among EU decision makers, as it takes years to negotiate and can be rejected in national referendums.The EU commission sought to reconcile the position of the 'outs' with the legal limitations of the ECB board by suggesting that most of the decisions would be rubber stamped anyway and that on the actual banking supervision panel - a new body to be set up within the ECB - all member states would be represented equally."But there are still concerns and we will work on them, hopefully still being able to meet the 1 January deadline," internal market commissioner Michel Barnier said in a press conference after the meeting. In any case, the new body would be set up gradually in 2013-2014, so that "quality" prevails over "speed", he said reflecting a long-standing German demand.
He also poured cold water on hopes that once the new body is set up, troubled banks in the eurozone would be able to tap the bailout fund. "That is a necessary, but not a sufficient condition," he said.The idea of a centralised banking supervisor for the eurozone was a precondition for Germany to agree in June to the prospect of opening the bailout fund to troubled banks, as a measure to help Italy and Spain lower their borrowing costs.But since the ECB then unleashed a more forceful plan of "unlimited" bond buying for any troubled euro country once it signs up to a reforms plan, Spanish and Italian borrowing costs decreased and the pressure to quickly agree a banking supervision scheme eased.In addition, Germany now feels that the Barnier plan is "too French", according to one source, as it "delegates" powers to national supervisors. This means that if something is again covered up at national level - as was the case with Spanish regional banks - the ECB would not know in time.Instead, Berlin would like to see real auditing powers, even if it means that the ECB would have to start with fewer, bigger banks.Critics say that is just a way to deflect supervision from Germany's own small regional banks which also needed to be bailed out after the 2008 financial crisis.

EU and IMF clash over Greek debt plan

13.11.12 @ 09:28 By Benjamin Fox
BRUSSELS - Eurozone finance ministers and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) clashed publicly on Monday (12 November) evening over how long Greece should get to bring its debt under control.
Jean Claude-Juncker, who chairs the meetings of euro finance ministers, said euro countries want to give Greece two more years – until 2022 – to cut its debt mountain to 120 percent of GDP.When Juncker insisted on the new timeline, IMF chief Christine Lagarde, sitting alongside him in a press conference, appeared to roll her eyes."In our view, the appropriate timetable is 120 per cent by 2020 ... We clearly have different views," she said.There will be another meeting on 20 November to see if the two sides can resolve their differences.But the highly unusual public airing of the disagreement does not bode well for the international lenders finding an agreement on a new debt plan for Greece next Tuesday.Both sides have to agree in order for the next bailout tranche (€31.5bn) to be released to Athens.The spat between the EU and the IMF has been simmering for some time.Lagarde believes the 2020 deadline should be stuck to and that eurozone countries should accept losses on their loans. The EU side believes Greece can return to growth and service its debt if it is given a bit longer to do so.Member states taking a loss on their loans is seen as big political no-no, particular in Germany.Juncker said that his "personal feeling" is that public sector writedowns – where member states take a loss – will not be the route that is taken.The further delay comes despite the fact the Greek parliament last week backed a tough austerity budget that increases the retirement age to 67 and imposes further pension and salary cuts, as well as a 35 percent reduction on redundancy pay.
Greece also faces a bill for €5 billion of treasury notes on Friday (16 November) and will now ask for the bills to be rolled-over."I won't tell you how [we will solve this problem], but there won't be any problem on November 16," Juncker said.Meanwhile, economic affairs commissioner Olli Rehn praised the resolve of the Greek government for forcing through unpopular economic reforms, commenting that "words have been backed by deeds."He added that it is "to debunk the perception that no progress has been made, this is damaging, unfair and simply wrong."

Anti-austerity strikes sweep southern Europe

By Borja Gonzalez and Andrei Khalip | Reuters – 2 hrs 45 mins ago NOV 14,12
MADRID/LISBON (Reuters) - Police and protesters clashed in Spain and Italy on Wednesday as millions of workers went on strike across Europe to protest against spending cuts they say have made the economic crisis worse.Hundreds of flights were cancelled, car factories and ports were at a standstill and trains barely ran in Spain and Portugal where unions held their first coordinated general strike.In Spain, 81 people were arrested after scuffles at picket lines and damage to storefronts. Riot police in Madrid fired rubber bullets at protesters.In central Rome, students stoned police in a protest over money-saving plans for the school system. A few dozen protesters, hurling bottles and large firecrackers, clashed with riot police, who fired tear gas and dragged away at least one bleeding protester into a police van, a Reuters witness said.International rail services were disrupted by strikes in Belgium and workers in Greece, Italy and France demonstrated as part of a "European Day of Action and Solidarity".It was the biggest Europe-wide challenge by organized labor to austerity policies that have aggravated recessions and mass unemployment in nearly three years since the start of the euro zone's debt crisis. But it seemed unlikely to force hard-pressed governments to change their cost-cutting strategies.In Portugal and Greece - both rescued with European funds and under strict austerity programs - the economic downturn sharpened in the third quarter, data showed in Wednesday.
Portuguese unemployment jumped to a record 15.8 percent while next door, in Spain, one in four of the workforce is jobless. [ID:nL5E8ME3G3] Greece's economic output shrank by 7.2 percent on an annual basis in the third quarter as the debt-laden country staggers towards its sixth year of depression. [ID:nL5E8ME4WM]Close to 26 million people are unemployed in the European Union while governments take aim at spending on treasured universal health care and public schools."Everybody has to do something to call attention to what's happening," said Esteban Quesada, 58, a hardware store owner in Barcelona who closed his shop to join the protests in Spain's second city."Things have to change... Money has ended up with all the power and people none. How could this happen?"Spain, Portugal and Greece have all slashed spending on pensions, public sector wages, hospitals and schools. But frustration has mounted as the cuts aggravate the economic downturn. In Spain, most of the savings have been gobbled up to meet higher interest payments on the national debt, swollen by the cost of rescuing banks after a real estate bubble burst.
The tax rises and spending cuts are aimed at putting public finances back on a healthy track after years of overspending. In Spain, a decade-long building boom collapsed, leaving airports, highways and high-rise buildings disused around the country.Germany's central bank, the Bundesbank, said in a report on Wednesday that the euro zone debt crisis is still the number one risk to German banks and insurers, and the situation had not improved from last year.Pledges from the European Central Bank to support sovereign bond prices for countries that seek aid have brought some relief to Spain and Italy in the capital markets.
On Wednesday Italy sold 3-year bonds at the lowest borrowing cost in two years.
SPAIN TO STAY THE COURSE
While several southern European countries have seen bursts of violence, a coordinated and effective regional protest to the austerity has yet to gain enough traction to significantly shift policy.Spanish Economy Minister Luis de Guindos told reporters on Wednesday the government would stay the course with spending cuts to meet ambitious deficit cutting targets, despite the strike. ID:nL5E8MCATZ]"We're on strike to stop these suicidal policies," said Candido Mendez, head of Spain's second-biggest labor federation, the General Workers' Union, or UGT.Mendez said turnout for the strike - the second one this year - was massive, with turnout in the public sector well above 50 percent. The government minimized the impact, saying many services were functioning normally.Passions were inflamed when a Spanish woman jumped to her death last week as bailiffs tried to evict her from her home. Spaniards are furious at banks being rescued with public cash while ordinary people suffer.In Portugal, which took an EU bailout last year, the streets have been quieter than in Greece or Spain but public and political opposition to austerity is mounting, threatening to derail measures sought by Prime Minister Pedro Passos Coelho.His centre-right government was forced by protests to abandon a planned increase in employee payroll charges, but replaced it by higher taxes.Passos Coelho's policies were held up this week as a model by German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who is despised in much of southern Europe for insisting on austerity as a condition of her support for EU aid."I'm on strike because those who work are basically being blackmailed into sacrificing more and more in the name of debt reduction, which is a big lie," said Daniel Santos de Jesus, 43, who teaches architecture at the Lisbon Technical University.Some 5 million people, or 22 percent of the workforce, are union members in Spain. In Portugal about a quarter of the 5.5 million strong workforce is unionized.Major demonstrations were planned for the evening in Madrid, Lisbon, Barcelona and other cities.
ARRESTS, FLIGHTS CANCELLED
Protesters jammed cash machines with glue and coins and plastered anti-government stickers on shop windows around Spain. Power consumption dropped 16 percent with factories idled.More than 600 flights were cancelled in Spain alone, mainly by Iberia and budget carrier Vueling. Portugal's flag carrier TAP cancelled roughly 45 percent of flights. Trains, subways and busses in both countries were severely curtailed, but many retail shops were open as normal.Italy's biggest union, CGIL, called for a work stoppage of several hours across the country. The transport ministry expected trains and ferries to stop for four hours. Students and teachers were set to march.In Greece, which saw a big two-day strike last week as parliament voted to approve new cuts, hundreds of strikers rallied peacefully in central Athens, holding aloft giant Italian, Portuguese and Spanish flags and banners proclaiming "Enough is enough."In France, five trade unions organized marches in more than 100 cities but did not call for a strike.Left-wing critics of Socialist President Francois Hollande said he has failed to address the concerns of French workers who have the same fears as their counterparts in southern Europe."It's an unconditional surrender," hard left leader Jean-Luc Melenchon said on France 2 television.Every week brings news of fresh job cuts. Spain's flagship airline Iberia, owned by UK-based International Airlines Group, said last week it will cut 4,500 jobs. The prestigious El Pais newspaper just laid off almost a quarter of its staff."We have to leave something better for our children," said Rocio Blanco, 47, a railway worker on the picket line at Madrid's main rail station, Atocha.(Additional reporting by Miguel Pereira in Lisbon, Ben Deighton in Brussels, Braden Phillips in Barcelona, Steve Scherer and Naomi O'Leary in Rome and Renee Maltezou in Athens; Writing by Fiona Ortiz; Editing by Paul Taylor)

Hamas military leader Ahmed Jabari assassinated in IAF airstrike

Army bombs multiple terror targets in the Gaza Strip, killing up to six, as Operation Pillar of Defense commences against Hamas and Islamic Jihad targets; Hamas’s armed wing says assassination has ‘opened the gates of hell’


By and November 14, 2012, 4:20 pm 22 -THE TIMES OF ISRAEL
The Israeli Air Force on Wednesday bombed a car in Gaza City, killing Ahmed Jabari, the head of Hamas’s armed wing — the equivalent of an army’s chief of staff — and reportedly his son as well. Two other people who were in the car were reportedly injured in the strike.The army confirmed the airstrike on Jabari and said that it had launched a “widespread campaign on terror sites and operatives in the Gaza Strip, chief among them Hamas and Islamic Jihad targets.” A source in the IDF Spokesperson’s Office told The Times of Israel that the campaign was being referred to as “Operation Pillar of Defense.”“By nature of his position, Jabari has been responsible over the past decade for all anti-Israel terror activity emanating from the [Gaza] Strip,” the Shin Bet security agency said in a statement. Israeli military officials, speaking on condition of anonymity under army regulations, said Jabari was identified by “precise intelligence” gathered over several months.
Hamas’s armed wing warned that in assassinating Jabari, Israel “had opened the gates of hell on itself.”

Witnesses said Jabari was traveling in a vehicle in Gaza City when the car exploded. Crowds of people and security personnel rushed to the scene of the strike, trying to put out the fire that had engulfed the car and left it a charred shell.Hamas police said other airstrikes hit targets in Gaza City, Khan Younis and Rafah. Raed Atar, the head of Hamas’s Rafah Battalion, was reportedly killed in one of those strikes. According to Channel 2 military correspondent Ronnie Daniel, some of the strikes were preemptive, targeting silos of Fajr missiles with a 70-kilometer range that could hit Tel Aviv.IDF Spokesman Brig.-Gen. Yoav Mordechai confirmed that the strike was “part of our goal, to land serious blows on Hamas and other organizations. Jabari is the first target… We’ve only just started, and this isn’t the end of it. All of the options are open, and we will persist in our determination to continue to hit all of the [terror] organizations further down the line.”
Mordechai said that the IDF was prepping its ground forces for a possible incursion into the Gaza Strip, but noted that such an operation was not necessarily going to happen, and that the IDF didn’t want to turn Operation Pillar of Defense into a second Cast Lead.IDF Lt.-Col. Avital Leibovich said that up to 20 terror sites in the Gaza Strip had been targeted. Hamas security officials said Hamas training facilities were among the targets in the Wednesday afternoon bombings. In all, Palestinian officials said six people had been killed in the Israeli attacks.Minutes after the strike on Jabari’s car, users uploaded footage of the smoldering vehicle to YouTube.A short time after the airstrikes, Palestinians launched two rockets at the coastal city of Ashkelon and two more at the Eshkol region. There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage. Residents within range of rocket fire from Gaza were requested to remain within 15 seconds of a shelter. Thursday school was called off for Thursday.Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat condemned the Israeli strikes, calling the assassination of Ahmad Jabari “a major escalation against our people in Gaza… We hold the Israeli government responsible,” he told Al Jazeera.Jabari was credited with being one of the leaders of Hamas’s violent putsch to take control of the Gaza Strip in 2007, and masterminded the professionalization of the Hamas military.Israel attempted to kill Jabari in an airstrike in 2004, but ended up killing his eldest son, his brother, and several cousins instead.Jabari was the most senior Hamas official to be killed since an Israeli invasion of Gaza four years ago. Jabari has long topped Israel’s most-wanted list and was notorious in Israel, which blamed him for in a string of attacks, including the kidnapping of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit in 2006.

Despite being a stickler for personal security, Jabari personally escorted Shalit in the 2011 handover to Egyptian authorities, who then released him to Israel. Video footage from the handoff showed the Hamas leader standing behind Shalit.Several Israeli ministers have hinted in recent days that the government was mulling a resumption of its targeted killings policy following the firing of over 160 rockets at Israel from the Gaza Strip between Saturday and Tuesday.Israel has repeatedly stated that it held Hamas responsible for all attacks on its territory from the Gaza Strip, including those carried out by other terror factions.Ob Tuesday, even as a tentative quiet seemed to be descending on the south, Defense Minister Ehud Barak said that “the matter is definitely not over, and we’ll decide how and when to act when there is need to do so.”
His statement echoed remarks made by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday.

“The IDF is operating, and will operate, forcefully against the terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip, which are sustaining heavy blows from the IDF,” the prime minister said. “The world needs to understand that Israel will not sit idly by in the face of attempts to attack us. We are prepared to intensify the response.”
Although the prime minister didn’t mention any specific avenues of action, Minister of Strategic Affairs Moshe Ya’alon was more specific. “There’s no doubt that in the past two weeks we’ve been witnessing an escalation, which Hamas is responsible for,” Ya’alon told Israel Radio on Sunday. “We aren’t going to let this stand.”Ya’alon acknowledged that there were no easy solutions to the problem, but suggested that targeted killings of senior terror leaders had in the past brought about extended periods of calm along the Gaza border.AP contributed to this report.

Aiming to thwart Palestinian UN bid, ministers up the rhetoric against Abbas

Finance minister says status upgrade bid is strategic threat to Israel, foreign minister says Abbas is going to NY to save his skin

By and November 14, 2012, 1:48 pm 1-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz on Monday called Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas a “wolf in sheep’s clothing” and said his determination to seek nonmember status at the UN later this month posed a “strategic threat” to Israel.Steinitz’s statements followed news earlier Monday of a Foreign Ministry position paper that threatened to topple the Abbas’s government if the United Nations voted to upgrade the entity’s status.“I am not in favor of crushing the Palestinian Authority, but if we have no choice in the face of a strategic threat, we should not fear taking such measures,” said Steinitz in an interview to Israel Radio.
Steinitz pointed to the situation in the Gaza Strip since Israel’s unilateral pullout in 2005, arguing that it foreshadowed what would happen in the West Bank if the Palestinians gained independence without negotiating security arrangements.“Look at what happened in Gaza. The same thing would happen in Nablus, Kalkilya and Ramalla. We would see Kassam and Grad rockets fall on Kfar Saba and Petah Tikva. That — we cannot live with,” he said.Steinitz repeated his threat that Israel would not collect taxes on the Palestinians’ behalf, nor deliver the money to the PA, nor assist Ramallah in economic matters if the Palestinians insist on advancing their bid.Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman said Abbas had lost control of the Palestinian street and that his diplomatic efforts to gain UN nonmember status were “political terrorism” aimed at saving his own skin.“Abbas looks around him and sees his fellow Arab leaders falling to the sidelines, and wants to save himself,” said Liberman in an address at Ariel University. “The Palestinian Authority has ceased to exist. All we have now is Hamastan on one side and Fatahland on the other.”
A draft position paper authored by Liberman’s office, presumably meant to deter the Palestinian leadership from its bid to upgrade its status at the UN, said that despite the risk of such a move, “removing Abbas from power would be the only option in such a scenario.”Jerusalem considers the Palestinian statehood bid a violation of signed agreementsEnvironmental Protection Minister Gilad Erdan said the Israeli threat should be taken seriously. “Why is it alright for Abbas to initiate steps that counter agreements and not us?” he said in an interview to Israel Radio Wednesday. “Israel should also take the opportunity to announce that it is annexing the Jewish settlements in the West Bank,” Erdan added.Vice Prime Minister Moshe Ya’alon told Army Radio that Israel would “have to take steps to make it clear that there will be a heavy price” if the Palestinians go ahead with their plan. He said it would be a “flagrant” breach of the accords but stopped short of saying they would be rendered void.Despite serious pressure from Jerusalem and Washington, Abbas told US President Barack Obama in a phone conversation on Sunday that he would ask the UN General Assembly to accept Palestine as a nonmember state later this month. An overwhelming majority of the body’s 193 member states is expected to vote in favor of Abbas’s proposal, which Israeli officials fear would have far-reaching negative implications for Israel.While Palestine would not have a vote in the General Assembly, it would hope to come under the aegis of the International Court of Justice or the International Criminal Court, where it could mount legal challenges to Israel’s presence in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.On Monday, Abbas offered to restart peace talks immediately after the UN bid.The vote on Palestinian statehood will take place on November 29, the anniversary of the 1947 UN Partition Plan, which called for a Jewish and an Arab state in Palestine. November 29 is also the UN’s International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. 

Israel sees long days of Gaza combat, moots invasion

By Dan Williams | Reuters – 46 mins ago NOV 14,12
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel's aerial assault on the Gaza Strip on Wednesday could draw cross-border Palestinian rocket attacks and stretch into days of fighting, including a ground offensive if required, the Israeli military said."The days we face in the south will, in my estimation, prove protracted," Brigadier-General Yoav Mordechai told Channel 2 TV after Israeli air strikes killed the military chief of Gaza's Hamas government. "The homefront must brace itself resiliently."Mordechai said Israel was both responding to a surge in Palestinian rocket salvoes earlier this week and trying to prevent Hamas and other Palestinian factions from building up their arsenals further.Among the targets of Wednesday's air strikes were underground caches of longer-range Hamas rockets, he said.Asked if Israel might send ground forces into Gaza, Mordechai said: "There are preparations, and if we are required to, the option of a entry by ground is available."(Writing by Dan Williams; Editing by Crispian Balmer) 



Protests erupt in West Bank ahead of anniversary of Palestinian declaration of independence

Two Israelis injured after demonstrators throw rocks at vehicle; hundreds block roads, clash with soldiers; US consulate warns government employees from traveling on West Bank roads

By November 14, 2012, 2:05 pm 5-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL
Palestinians, supported by foreign activists, were demonstrating in dozens of places across the West Bank on Wednesday ahead of the 24th anniversary of their declaration of independence on November 15.Hundreds of protesters took part in the disruptions, during which Palestinians threw rocks at Israeli cars and tried to block roads, leading to clashes with Israeli security forces, who dispersed the protesters using tear gas. Several demonstrators were detained.According to Palestinian media sources, six demonstrators were wounded in clashes with soldiers and border police.Two Israelis were lightly injured north of the settlement of Efrat after protesters pelted their vehicle with rocks. Demonstrators also threw rocks at Israeli vehicles near the West Bank settlement of Tekoa and tried to block a road south of Hebron.Demonstrators briefly blocked Route 446. Several sections of Route 60, a main north-south artery that runs from Nazareth to Beersheba via the West Bank, were closed to traffic during the day.The US consulate cancelled all non-official travel by US government employees to and through the West Bank on Routes 1, 90, and 443, as well as travel to Jericho and Bethlehem, due to the ongoing demonstrations.In 1988, the leader of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, Yasser Arafat, declared Palestinian independence at the end of the 19th Palestinian National Council meeting and immediately assumed the title of president.The declaration, which has since been recognized by over 100 countries, does not describe the border of the State of Palestine but does identify its capital as Jerusalem.This week also marks the eighth anniversary of Arafat’s death on November 11, 2004, which many Palestinians blame on Israel. His body is set to be exhumed later this month to be tested for signs of polonium poisoning. A leading French doctor at the hospital where he died told The Times of Israel this week there was “absolutely no way” he had been poisoned. 

IDF Hits Gaza's Weapons Capabilities and Stockpiles

Extensive damage to the long-term launch capabilities and weapons warehouses of terror organizations in Gaza.By Annie Lubin First Publish: 11/14/2012, 6:24 PM-INN

In the wide scale effort to stop terrorists from continuing their barrage of rocket launches into Israel, the IDF Wednesday caused extensive damage to the long-term launch capabilities (over 40 km) of Hamas and Islamic Jihad. The army also caused significant damage to underground delivery systems and weapons warehouses in their efforts to weaken the terrorist organizations in Gaza.The army said that the purpose of the attack is to disrupt the launch capabilities of the terrorist organizations and to hit their stockpiles of weapons. Gaza is ruled by Hamas and serves as an Iranian proxy, which puts the citizens of Israel under constant rocket fire and unbearable threats. An IDF source told Arutz Sheva that the targets hit were identified by accurate intelligence and exact information gathered in recent months. Many of the weapons storage sites were located in residential buildings in Gaza. "This is further evidence of the way Hamas operates and their use of the population of Gaza as ‘human shields,’" the source said.

Netanyahu and Barak in Golan Uncertain of What the Future Holds

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak visited the Golan Heights Wednesday afternoon as they overlooked the area where the IDF returned fire recently and were briefed by Deputy Chief of Staff Major General Yair Naveh, and Head of Israeli Northern Command Major General Yair Golan.During the tour, the Prime Minister spoke about the spillover from Syria, saying, '' I came today with Defense Minister Ehud Barak, the Deputy Chief of Staff and the Head of the Northern Command in order to inspect the IDF's deployment and operations in the face of the new challenges facing Syria."Netanyahu added,"There are two immediate challenges. One is (Syria) shooting at our forces and at our territory, and the second is their attempt at infiltration. I'm Impressed that the IDF is working well to meet these challenges. And on the other side of this, there is the formation of a new government in Syria -- new forces of fission in the Syrian regime and the formation of forces even more hostile to Israel, the forces of global jihad. We will work to take care of this too.''Defense Minister Ehud Barak spoke of Syria's unstable and shaky future, noting that the IDF must be prepared to deal with a future Syria which is hard to predict at the moment. "The IDF in the North is doing a very good job and is following the painful disintegration of the Assad regime," said Barak. "Almost all of the villages at the foot of this ridge and even further up are already in the hands of the rebels. The Syrian army is revealing an efficiency that is diminishing. Of course, the command will ensure that they are not shooting at us in an open and free manner and that they do not condone the violence that is seeping into Israel. All this is part of a broader preparation for further infiltration. It is very difficult to estimate what the future of Syria will be and we need to be vigilant and alert here, just like in other regions."
For the past week mortar shells and stray bullets have been spilling over into Israel as a result of the escalating violence in Syria. The IDF has changed the rules of engagement along the Syrian border as a result, with new orders instructing soldiers to respond if fire from Syria is dangerous and persistent.

Russia expands treason law, critics fear crackdown

By VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV | Associated Press – 59 mins ago NOV 14,12
MOSCOW (AP) — A new law expanding Russia's definition of treason took effect Wednesday — and critics say it's so vague that the government can now brand anyone who dissents as a traitor.Under the new law, anyone possessing information deemed secret — whether a politician, a journalist, an environmentalist or a union leader — could potentially be jailed for up to 20 years for espionage.Human rights advocates say the law is part of a widening crackdown on the opposition after President Vladimir Putin began his third presidential term in May."It's very broad and it's very dangerous," Rachel Denber, deputy director of Human Rights Watch's Europe and Central Asia division, told The Associated Press.She said it's not clear yet how vigorously Russian authorities will enforce the bill, but says it recreates a "sense of paranoia and suspicion and uneasiness about foreigners."While the previous law described high treason as espionage or other assistance to a foreign state that damages Russia's external security, the new legislation expands the definition by dropping the word "external." Activities that fall under it include providing help or advice to a foreign state or giving information to an international or foreign organization.The law, which was drafted by the Federal Security Service, the main KGB successor agency known under its Russian acronym of FSB, also introduced a punishment of up to eight years for simply getting hold of state secrets illegally even if they aren't passed to foreign hands.The FSB explained in a statement run by the ITAR-Tass news agency that the new clause better protects confidential information.It said the previous law, which dated back to the 1960s, failed to provide an efficient deterrence against foreign spies."Tactics and methods of foreign special services have changed, becoming more subtle and disguised as legitimate actions," the spy agency said. "Claims about a possible twist of spy mania in connection with the law's passage are ungrounded and based exclusively on emotions."Tamara Morshchakova, a former Constitutional Court judge, told a presidential rights council meeting Monday that the new law is so broad the FSB no longer needs to provide proof that a suspect inflicted actual damage to the nation's security."Their goal was simple: We have few traitors, it's difficult to prove their guilt, so it's necessary to expand it," Morshchakova said. "Now they don't have to prove it any more. An opinion of law enforcement agencies would suffice."Putin, who chaired the meeting, promised to take another look at the treason bill to prevent it from being excessively broad, but it became law despite his pledge.Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Wednesday, in comments carried by Russian news agencies, that Putin's statement indicated his readiness to review the treason law if its implementation reveals "some problems or aspects restricting rights and freedoms."The revised treason bill first came up in 2008, under then-President Dmitry Medvedev, who quickly shelved the bill after an outburst of public criticism.
Putin, a KGB veteran, has clamped down on his critics following a series of huge street protests in Moscow against his re-election, which he said were staged by Washington in order to weaken Russia. The Kremlin-controlled parliament quickly stamped a series of repressive bills and opposition activists have faced numerous searches and arrests."There is an effort to recreate an old sense of fear," Denber said, adding that the new legislation was apparently aimed at discouraging Russians from joining protests. "One of the aims is surely to never have that happen again and to demonize any ... people or organization that might be associated with that."One of the laws passed this summer required non-governmental organizations in Russia that receive foreign funding and engage in political activity to register as "foreign agents," which aims to destroy their credibility among Russians. One such group is Golos, Russia's only independent vote monitor, which collected evidence of massive violations in recent elections.And in October, Moscow ended the U.S. Agency for International Development's two decades of work in Russia, saying the agency was using its money to influence Russian elections — a claim the U.S. denied.Denber said her group already felt a new chill on a recent visit to one of Russia's Siberian provinces while doing a research on health care. Local officials demanded to know who invited them, who paid for the trip and the names of the group's local contacts."It was very hard, it was an echo of a different time," she said.

Most in US won't be able to escape 'fiscal cliff'

Most of America would be hit by tax increases and spending cuts from 'fiscal cliff'

By Christopher s. Rugaber, AP Economics Writer | Associated Press – 1 hour 39 minutes ago NOV 13,12

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Everyone who pays income tax — and some who don't —will feel it.
So will doctors who accept Medicare, people who get unemployment aid, defense contractors, air traffic controllers, national park rangers and companies that do research and development.The package of tax increases and spending cuts known as the "fiscal cliff" takes effect in January unless Congress passes a budget deal by then. The economy would be hit so hard that it would likely sink into recession in the first half of 2013, economists say.And no matter who you are, it will be all but impossible to avoid the pain.
Middle income families would have to pay an average of about $2,000 more next year, the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center has calculated.Up to 3.4 million jobs would be lost, the Congressional Budget Office estimates. The unemployment rate would reach 9.1 percent from the current 7.9 percent. Stocks could plunge. The nonpartisan CBO estimates the total cost of the cliff in 2013 at $671 billion.Collectively, the tax increases would be the steepest to hit Americans in 60 years when measured as a percentage of the economy."There would be a huge shock effect to the U.S. economy," says Mark Vitner, an economist at Wells Fargo.Most of the damage — roughly two-thirds — would come from the tax increases. But the spending cuts would cause pain, too.The bleak scenario could push the White House and Congress to reach a deal before year's end. On Tuesday, Congress returns for a post-election session that could last through Dec. 31. At a minimum, analysts say some temporary compromise might be reached, allowing a final deal to be cut early next year.Still, uncertainty about a final deal could cause many companies to further delay hiring and spend less. Already, many U.S. companies say anxiety about the fiscal cliff has led them to put off plans to expand or hire.A breakdown in negotiations could also ignite turmoil in financial markets, Vitner said. It could resemble the 700-point fall in the Dow Jones industrial average in 2008 after the House initially rejected the $700 billion bailout of major banks.Since President Barack Obama's re-election, nervous investors have sold stocks. The Standard & Poor's 500 index sank 2.3 percent last week, its worst weekly drop since June. The sell-off resulted in part from anxiety over higher tax rates on investment gains once the fiscal cliff kicks in.Last week, Obama said he was open to compromise with Republican leaders. But the White House said he would veto any bill that would extend tax cuts on income above $250,000.
Republican House Speaker John Boehner countered that higher tax rates on upper-income Americans would slow job growth. Boehner argued that any deal must reduce tax rates, eliminate special-interest loopholes and rein in government benefits.More than 50 percent of the tax increases would come from the expiration of tax cuts approved in 2001 and 2003 and from additional tax cuts in a 2009 economic stimulus law.The first set of tax cuts reduced rates on income, investment gains, dividends and estates. They also boosted tax credits for families with children. Deductions for married couples also rose. The 2009 measure increased tax credits for low-income earners and college students.About 20 percent of the tax increase would come from the expiration of a Social Security tax cut enacted in 2010. This change would cost someone making $50,000 about $1,000 a year, or nearly $20 a week, and a household with two high-paid workers up to $4,500, or nearly $87 a week.The end of the Social Security tax cut isn't technically among the changes triggered by the fiscal cliff. But because it expires at the same time, it's included in most calculations of the fiscal cliff's effects.And it could catch many people by surprise."Every worker in America is going to see a reduction in their paycheck in the first pay period of 2013," Vitner noted.An additional 20 percent of the tax increase would come from the end of about 80 tax breaks, mostly for businesses. One is a tax credit for research and development. Another lets companies deduct from their income half the cost of large equipment or machinery.Mark Bakko, a Minneapolis accountant, says many mid-size companies he advises are holding off on equipment purchases or hiring until the fate of those tax breaks becomes clear. Bakko noted that the research and development credit typically lets a company that hired an engineer at a $100,000 salary cut its tax bill by $10,000. The credit has been routinely extended since the 1980s.The rest of the tax increase would come mainly from the alternative minimum tax, or AMT. It would hit 30 million Americans, up from 4 million now.The costly AMT was designed to prevent rich people from exploiting loopholes and deductions to avoid any income tax. But the AMT wasn't indexed for inflation, so it's increasingly threatened middle-income taxpayers. Congress has acted each year to prevent the AMT from hitting many more people.
Under the fiscal cliff, households in the lowest 20 percent of earners would pay an average of $412 more, the Tax Policy Center calculates. The top 20 percent would pay an average $14,000 more, the top 1 percent $121,000 more.All this would lead many consumers to spend less. Anticipating reduced sales and profits, businesses would likely cut jobs. Others would delay hiring.Another part of the cliff is a package of across-the-board spending cuts to defense and domestic programs — cuts the CBO says would total about $85 billion. Congress and the Obama administration agreed last year that these cuts would kick in if a congressional panel couldn't agree on a deficit-reduction plan. The magnitude of the cuts was intended to force agreement. It didn't.Defense spending would shrink 10 percent. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has said those cuts would cause temporary job losses among civilian Pentagon employees and major defense contractors. Spending on weapons programs would be cut.For domestic programs, like highway funding, aid to state and local governments and health research, spending would drop about 8 percent. Education grants to states and localities; the FBI and other law enforcement; environmental protection; and air traffic controllers, among others, would also be affected, the White House says.Hospitals and doctors' offices could also cut jobs if an $11 billion cut in Medicare payments isn't reversed.Extended unemployment benefits for about 2 million people would end. The extra benefits provide up to 73 weeks of aid."It would be nice if we could ... address these issues before the very last moment," said Donald Marron, the Tax Policy Center's director.

THE PHILISTINES OF THE BIBLE ARE THE PALESTINIANS TODAY.SO THIS DESECRATION OF JEWISH LIFE BY THE PALESTINIANS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 3,500 PLUS YEARS.

Holy Site Desecration Traced to Philistine Era

PA Arabs are not the first to desecrate holy sites. Archaeologists discover Philistines may have done the same 3,100 years ago.By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu First Publish: 11/13/2012, 11:56 AM-INN

Tel Beth Shemesh archaeological site

Tel Aviv University archaeology researchers have discovered unprecedented desecration of Israelite holy sites 3,100 years ago, possibly by Philistines, who the Palestinian Authority say are the original Palestinians.
The researchers uncovered a unique 11th-century BCE sacred compound at the site of Tel Beth-Shemesh, west of Jerusalem.The newly discovered sacred complex at the site of an ancient village that resisted the aggressive expansion of neighboring Philistines is comprised of an elevated, massive circular stone structure and an intricately constructed building.Co-directors of the dig, Tel Aviv Univ. Prof. Shlomo Bunimovitz and Dr. Tzvi Lederman, said that this temple complex is unparalleled, possibly connected to an early Israelite cult — and provides remarkable new evidence of the deliberate desecration of a sacred site.It is not associated with the First Temple, which was built approximately a century later in Jerusalem. The Palestinian Authority has systematically removed tons of debris that includes artifacts from the First and Second Temples, and Muslims have been viewed desecrating the Temple Mount.The desecration at the Tel Beht Shemesh was discovered through an analysis of weeds that showed that some animal pens had been placed at the temple site.The village of Beth-Shemesh frequently changed hands between the ambitious Philistines and the Canaanite and Israelite populations that resisted them. The temple and its history reflect the power struggles that defined the region in the 12th-11th century BCE, say Prof. Bunimovitz and Dr. Lederman. Their findings will be presented this month at the annual meeting of the American Schools of Oriental Research in Chicago.
In the archaeological record, there are no parallels to this Canaanite or Israelite sacred compound of the period, note the researchers.Excavators determined that the temple was not only destroyed, but also desecrated. More intensive scientific analysis of the site has shown that the temple ruins were used as animal pens, maybe by the invading Philistines.After ruling out the use of the site as a domestic structure, the researchers knew that they had found something unique. Excavations revealed almost only shards of painted chalices and goblets found spread on the floor but no traces of domestic use.One of the three flat stones was surrounded by animal bone remnants, and the two other stones were seemingly designed to direct liquids. These clues convinced Prof. Bunimovitz and Dr. Lederman that they had uncovered a likely place of sacred worship.But the temple didn't remain sacred. Samples of earth taken from layers above the destroyed temple and analyzed at the Weizmann Institute of Science revealed astonishing results. Directly above the temple was a packed-in layer containing remains of weeds that are commonly eaten by livestock and microscopic remnants of manure produced by grass-eating animals, indicating the presence of animal pens directly on top of the sacred site, explains Prof. Bunimovitz.Intermittent burning in order to clean the pens likely resulted in the concentrated state of the layer.This desecration was no accident or coincidence, the researchers believe. Instead, it represents the see-saw of political might between the Philistines and the local population. Presumably the Philistines gained temporary control of Beth-Shemesh, and brought in livestock to live on what they knew had been a sacred site to their enemies.This discovery also serves to illuminate the recent discovery of a number of round clay ovens, called "tabuns," in the layer excavated above the temple, according to Prof. Bunimovitz and Dr. Lederman.Typically, such ovens were located in a domestic building for food preparation, explains Prof. Bunimovitz. But these particular ovens were not part of a neighborhood or living quarter. When the temple was discovered directly underneath, a plausible explanation for the mysterious ovens emerged."We believe that descendants of those who had built the original complex came back to rebuild the site," says Dr. Lederman, who suspects that the ovens were used to cook celebration feasts held in veneration of the old temple. Despite the desecration of the temple by the Philistines, the memory of the sacred site survived. Once the Philistines withdrew from the area, the descendents of the original worshippers returned to commemorate this sacred place.

IDF says it will draft 14,000 ultra-Orthodox teens next year

State responds to petition to High Court of Justice demanding equality of service with promise to gradually increase enlistment

By and November 13, 2012, 5:07 am 1-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

Thousands of 18- and 19-year-old ultra-Orthodox men will be drafted into the IDF as of this coming summer, according to plans authorized by the army. The state announced the plans on Monday, in response to a petition to the High Court of Justice demanding that the government replace the expired Tal Law, which provided a near-blanket exemption of yeshiva students from military or national service, with legislation instituting universal conscription.The petition was submitted this past summer by The Movement for Quality Government in Israel following the expiration of the Tal Law. For more than a decade, the law allowed ultra-Orthodox yeshiva students to defer service in the IDF until the age of 28, when they were considered by the military too old to serve.According to the recruitment program announced Monday, approved by Defense Minister Ehud Barak, about 14,000 young men born in 1994 and 1995 would be enlisted next summer for three full years of service. However, about 40,000 ultra-Orthodox men, ages 20 to 30 (and thus falling in the recruitment bracket), would not be called up retrospectively — barring any new legislation to the contrary.
“The arrangement formulated by the IDF focuses on the present and future, not amending the past,” read the state’s official statement, noting a definitive solution to the problem would have to first pass legislative channels.The Kadima party entered the governing coalition with the Likud in May in order to legislate a new universal draft law that would ensure yeshiva students shared the burden of military service. However, disagreements over the bill shattered the coalition, with Kadima exiting in July, blaming Netanyahu for sabotaging the reform.The High Court of Justice will hold a hearing on the issue on Thursday.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Millions of New York City commuters, whose routines were capsized by Superstorm Sandy, kicked off the work week on Monday with a slightly smoother trip thanks to light holiday traffic, restoration of some train lines and an opening of the final tunnel shut by historic flooding.Two weeks after the storm, tens of thousands of homes and businesses in the hardest-hit sections of New York and New Jersey remained without electricity, but most residents affected elsewhere were powered up.On Long Island, where some 56,000 homes and businesses remained without service on Monday afternoon, the New York state-owned Long Island Power Authority said it expects to restore power to most of those able to receive it by the end of Tuesday.LIPA said up to 17,500 customers in Nassau and Suffolk and 29,000 in the Rockaways in New York City were unable to receive power safely because severe flooding may have damaged electrical panels, wires, outlets and appliances.Even with the lights on, some homes remained without phone, Internet and TV service due to damaged equipment and wires brought down by the deadly storm.At least 121 people perished in the storm, which caused an estimated $50 billion in property damage and economic losses and ranks as one of the most destructive natural disasters to hit the U.S. Northeast.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said he plans to ask the federal government for a supplemental appropriation of $30 billion in disaster aid - on top of reimbursements expected from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for out-of-pocket emergency expenditures.The money would pay for infrastructure costs, housing needs, costs to local governments, and small business losses, while helping with the long-term economic recovery in New York City, Long Island and other devastated parts of the state, he said."The damage here is much more severe than just the out-of-pocket expense," Cuomo told a news conference. "This was cataclysmic for New York, and I think it is a wise investment for the federal government to help us to build this economy back."President Barack Obama is to visit the city's disaster areas on Thursday.
Meanwhile, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg joined with City Council Speaker Christine Quinn and city Comptroller John Liu to announce an emergency capital appropriation of $500 million to repair public schools and hospitals.Bloomberg said in a news conference that while the city will seek federal reimbursements for its expenditures, it was moving ahead without any guarantees of repayment."Our city has never experienced a storm as destructive as Hurricane Sandy, and financing for these repairs is as necessary as it is urgent," Bloomberg said. "These school buildings and public hospitals are resources that hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers rely on every day - and we are not waiting for federal aid to begin the work of repairing and reopening them."The City Council will vote on the package on Tuesday.
CLOSER TO NORMAL
At the start of the work week, commuter stress was eased by the opening of the Hugh Carey-Brooklyn Battery tunnel to buses only, the return of all Metro North and Long Island Railroad Lines but one and restoration of limited service on a New Jersey Transit train line into New York's Penn Station."I was really afraid of overcrowding today but the train was half full," said Anne O'Malley, 46, a marketer who rides NJ Transit from Maplewood, New Jersey, to New York.Since Sandy struck two weeks ago, O'Malley has endured four hours of daily commuting - double her usual travel time - but it was closer to normal on Monday.The railroad is concentrating on repairing all damaged trains, restoring damaged overhead wires and washed out tracks and aligning rails, said NJ Transit spokeswoman Nancy Snyder.Two major train lines from New Jersey into New York remain suspended. Commuters were urged to use alternatives provided by NJ Transit, including free bus trips to free or low-cost ferries across the Hudson River, some docking at 39th Street, others headed for lower Manhattan."Things take time," Snyder said. "Much like New Jerseyans sustained personal loss, the transit system suffered too."For the most part, a federal holiday - Veterans Day - meant a less congested commute. It was hit and miss for many, with some bus riders reporting being stuck for more than two hours outside the Lincoln Tunnel where, Snyder said, two buses collided, injuring about 20 people.New Jersey Governor Chris Christie tweeted that gas rationing in his state would end at 6 a.m. on Tuesday, although rationing continued in New York City under a system in which cars with odd- and even-numbered license plates can fill up only on alternate days.Bloomberg said anecdotal evidence suggests "lines are shorter" and more gas stations have reopened, but the city's restrictions on fuel purchases will remain in effect.(Additional reporting by Scott DiSavino; Editing by Paul Thomasch and Christopher Wilson)

Statue of Liberty storm damage will take month to assess

By Chris Francescani | Reuters – 7 hrs ago NOV 13,12
NEW YORK (Reuters) - The National Park Service expects to know within a month the total cost and time it will take to repair storm damage to Liberty and Ellis Islands and to reopen the Statue of Liberty to tourists, a spokesman said on Monday.The statue was not damaged by superstorm Sandy, but Liberty Island sustained significant infrastructure damage that will delay the monument's re-opening indefinitely, said Mark Litterst, a Park Service spokesman."It was quite a shock to see the extent of the damage,'' Litterst said.
Officials said Ellis Island's invaluable cache of historical documents and records was not harmed by the storm.Power was restored to Liberty Island on Saturday night, but its main administration building, which houses the park's mechanical systems, sustained severe damage from four feet of flood water, Litterst said.
Liberty Island's dock, where tourists arrive by ferry from Manhattan's Battery Park and New Jersey's Liberty State Park, also sustained significant damage and may need to be rebuilt."The walkway just got lifted off the pilings and shifted off its support," Litterst said. "We may be able to repair the dock if it's still structurally sound, but if not it will have to be replaced, and that's a longer process."The 305-foot (93-metre) monument, which the park service says can sway up to 3 inches in winds of 50 mph, was closed to visitors for a year during an extensive renovation. It had only been open for six hours last month when Sandy roared into New York Harbor.More than 300 members of the National Park Service's incident response team are assessing damage to 15 national parks sites in Sandy's path."When asked to respond to a place like the Statue of Liberty, we drop everything and go," said Litterst. "We're as anxious as anybody to find out how long it will take to get it fixed up and open its doors again to the American public."(Editing by Ellen Wulfhorst and Doina Chiacu)

Netanyahu has few options in the south, none of them good


With scant international support, an uncompromising foe, a region in flux, and thousands of residents under fire, the prime minister has little room for maneuver


By November 12, 2012, 11:33 pm 5-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL
Israel’s situation today vis-à-vis Gaza, from the bottom up, is quite untenable.
Hamas and other groups have fired some 11,000 rockets at Israel since 2001, according to Home Front Defense Minister Avi Dichter — 160 or so of them since Saturday evening. Israel’s sovereignty has been violated time and again. The residents of the south have found themselves on the front lines on innumerable occasions. Children have been raised with the undulating alarm and the Color Red alert poisoning their days and penetrating their sleep.People living in Sderot and Netivot are outraged: They know that if this rocket fire was being directed at Tel Aviv, Israel would be at war. They also know that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak only promised to fortify the houses situated between 4.5 and 7 kilometers from Gaza on October 24, in the midst of an elections campaign. (Homes closer to Gaza are already fortified.) Moreover, they know that for years the IDF and the government decided against investing in short-and-medium-range rocket protection, which is why batteries of the Iron Dome missile defense system, developed against the top brass’s wishes and increasingly vital in these rounds of rocket attacks, have thus far been acquired in insufficient numbers and why the towns and kibbutzim closest to the border, beneath Iron Dome’s range, remain vulnerable to rocket and mortar fire.The IDF is ready to fulfill whatever mission the government hands down, but the senior officers know it will be hard to claim tangible victories in a ground invasion. The best the IDF can do is probably inflict painful blows on Hamas, as the defense minister has said, perhaps pushing it to a negotiated ceasefire through a combination of targeted killings and the sort of limited operation that forces Hamas and the international community to respond. Toppling the Hamas regime is not a sensible option — the consequences range from chaos, to the rise of a still more extreme Islamist regime, to a draining, vehemently unwanted restoration of Israeli responsibility — and victories against guerilla groups are difficult to attain and nearly impossible to secure.The government owes its citizens some sort of solution. Speaking with Hamas, however, as advocated by former defense minister Amir Peretz, is not something Netanyahu is likely to do, and least of all while under fire. A limited operation, akin to winter 2008-9′s Operation Cast Lead, is a possibility., But even that means throwing Israel into a small war in Gaza – and, like all wars, one knows where it would start but not where it would end. This is especially meaningful today, with the Muslim Brotherhood presidency in Egypt, the Syrian border heating up and the entire region in a once-a-century sort of flux.Internationally, Netanyahu has little goodwill to call upon. Prime minister Ehud Olmert won tangible international solidarity during Cast Lead, despite the high Gaza death toll, because he was perceived as doing everything to advance peace efforts with Mahmoud Abbas’ West Bank Palestinian Authority. Netanyahu enjoys no such credit.It is difficult for the prime minister to commission a report that deems the settlements in the West Bank legal by international law – disregarding the opinion of every Western government – and at the same time to expect full-throated backing from the governments whose support Israel would need for a bloody resort to force. It is impossible to appoint a man such as Avigdor Liberman to the post of foreign minister – a virtual persona non grata in Washington DC and some of the capitals of Europe — and then think that you can count on the leaders of those countries for robust support in Israel’s hour of need. A prime minister cannot reasonably expect to keep both Moshe Feiglin and Angela Merkel happy.Netanyahu is also a student of history. He knows that the rules for a left wing government and a right wing government are not similar. Internally, time has proven that only a right wing government is capable of pushing through a peace process that requires territorial concessions. The left wing, however, has far more leeway in a time of conflict. Both prime minister Menachem Begin and defense minister Ariel Sharon were shocked when some 400,000 people turned up in Tel Aviv to protest the Lebanon War on September 25, 1982. Never during all the years of Labor rule had the Israeli people come out to protest while the guns were still warm.The best case scenario for Netanyahu may be to ready the country and the world for war – much as he has done on the Iranian issue – while clandestinely urging and fervently hoping that someone else will intervene in its stead.But if they do not, if Egypt cannot or will not broker a deal, and if the US is disinclined or unable to help at this time, then however discouraging the circumstances, the Israeli government will have to act.

UN secretary-general condemns Gazan rocket attacks

Ban Ki-moon also urges Israel to exercise caution with regard to stray fire coming from Syria

By November 13, 2012, 2:03 am 1-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Monday expressed concern over  the flare-up along Israel’s southern border, where over 160 rockets and mortars have been launched at Israel from Gaza since Saturday.Ban condemned Gazan terrorists for targeting Israeli civilians and called on Jerusalem to practice restraint in responding to the attacks.“The secretary-general reiterates his call for an immediate cessation of indiscriminate rocket attacks by Palestinian militants targeting Israel and strongly condemns these actions,” Ban’s spokesman said in a statement. “Both sides should do everything to avoid further escalation and must respect their obligations under international humanitarian law to ensure the protection of civilians at all times.”
Monday marked the third day in a row in which the south of Israel was pummeled by rockets fired by Gazans. Israeli leaders are reportedly considering a wide military action against the Strip in a bid to reinstate a deterrent effect on would-be rocket launchers.Israeli air strikes have until now targeted rocket launching crews, but as the south remains paralyzed, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has come under increasing pressure to authorize a stronger response.Ban’s statement came a day after the secretary-general called on Israel and Syria to work to decrease border tensions along their borders, after Israel fired a warning shot at Syria in response to Syrian mortars landing in Israeli territory.“The secretary-general is deeply concerned by the potential for escalation,” his spokesperson said in a statement. “He calls for the utmost restraint and urges Syria and Israel to uphold the Disengagement Agreement, respect their mutual obligations, and halt firing of any kind across the ceasefire line.”On Monday, at least two Syrian soldiers were reported to have been injured by an Israeli tank shell fired at a mobile Syrian Army artillery battery that had just fired a mortar shell, reportedly by accident, into Israeli territory in the Golan Heights.

IAF Targets Three Gaza Terror Sites

IAF aircraft conducted several airstrikes in Gaza on Monday night, hitting at least three targets.
According to a statement by the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit, the aircraft struck two rocket launching sites in northern Gaza and a weapons storage site in central Gaza. The attack, noted the statement, is a response to the continued rocket fire by Gaza-based terrorists into Israeli territory.Direct hits were identified and all Israeli aircraft returned safely to their bases."The IDF will not tolerate any attempt to harm Israeli citizens and IDF soldiers and will continue to operate against anyone who uses terror against the State of Israel,” said the IDF statement, laying the blame for any Gaza terrorist attacks on its Hamas rulers.Southern Israel’s residents continued to be targeted by rockets and missiles on Monday, as thousands of children had to spend the day in shelters and protected spaces.On Monday afternoon, a Grad missile fired by Gaza terrorists exploded next to a factory in the industrial zone of Netivot. Six people suffered from shock as a result of the attack. Witnesses said that there was a great deal of damage to the structure.This was the second attack on the city Monday; earlier, a rocket fired at the city exploded in a residential neighborhood. That rocket caused a great deal of damage, gutting a shop near where the rocket exploded. 26 people were treated by medical personnel after going into shock, with some needing extensive treatment at a trauma center.The Gaza-based terrorists agreed on Monday evening to accept an Egyptian initiative for a ceasefire. However, the terrorists, as they usually do, conditioned the ceasefire on Israel stopping what they termed its “continued aggression in Gaza”.Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said that Israel is to be blamed for the current round of escalation. Hamas has declared dozens of similar ceasefires over the years and they have never been upheld.The Home Front Command, hoping that the ceasefire will hold this time, announced late on Monday night that schools in the Gaza belt will operate as usual on Tuesday.This, however, is subject to change on Tuesday morning, should the rocket attacks by Gaza terrorists continue.Meanwhile, a special assessment was held at the Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem on Monday evening. It was attended by Defense Minister Ehud Barak, IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz and senior officers. During the meeting it was agreed that Israel would increase the intensity of its response to the ongoing rocket fire towards the south.Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu will meet with his nine senior ministers on Tuesday morning to discuss other alternatives to deal with the situation in the south, the report said.

Egypt's Constitution Draft Based on Islam

Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood-led government is suggesting that the country’s new constitution be based on the principles of Islam.By Elad Benari First Publish: 11/13/2012, 5:46 AM-INN

Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood-led government is suggesting that the country’s new constitution be based on the principles of Islam.The Muslim Brotherhood’s website published on Monday the draft of the new constitution, which was put together by a special committee numbering 100 members, the majority of which are members of the Muslim Brotherhood and the Salafist parties.According to the draft, translated by Arab affairs expert Dalit Halevi, the main clauses in the new constitution are:“[Sunni] Islam is the religion of the state, Arabic is the official language and the principles of Islamic law are the main source for legislation.”
"The principles of the religion of the Christians and the Jews are the main source of legislation for the personal and religious affairs and for the purpose of choosing their spiritual leaders.""The Al-Azhar (considered the highest authority in Sunni Islam) is an independent Islamic institution ... whose purpose is to spread the message of Islam and religion. All residents are equal before the law ... there shall not be discrimination because of sex, origin, language, religion, belief, opinion, social status or disability. The state ensures the freedom of religious worship of monotheistic religions in accordance with the law.”The draft also notes that "freedom of opinion is guaranteed, and should not hurt the Prophet of Prophets."On Friday, more than 10,000 ultraconservative Muslims demonstrated in Cairo’s Tahrir Square, demanding that Egypt's new constitution be based on the rulings of Islamic Sharia law.The rally was organized by a number of minority Salafi groups, but neither the Muslim Brotherhood nor the main Salafist Al-Nour party backed the protest.
Demonstrators demanded that the panel tasked with writing the new constitution override liberal and secular objections and include language that could allow religious scholars to influence legislation.During his election campaign, Egyptian president-elect Mohammed Morsi reiterated his commitment to jihad and to the Islamic Sharia law.“The Koran was and will continue to be our constitution,” the Muslim Brotherhood candidate said in a speech broadcast on Egyptian television. “The Koran is our constitution. The prophet Muhammad is our leader. Jihad is our path. And death for the sake of Allah is our most lofty aspiration.”Morsi also said, “This nation will enjoy blessing and revival only through the Islamic Sharia. I take an oath before Allah and before you all that regardless of the actual text (of the constitution), Allah willing, the text will truly reflect (the Sharia).”

New Syria opposition seeks recognition; Israel fires from Golan

By Rania El Gamal and Yasmine Saleh | Reuters – 2 hrs 56 mins ago NOV 13,12
DOHA/CAIRO (Reuters) - Syria's newly named opposition leader, a soft-spoken cleric backed by Washington and the Gulf Arab states, launched his quest on Monday for international recognition of a government-in-waiting to topple President Bashar al-Assad.In a sign of the danger that the 20-month civil war could spread across Syria's borders, Israeli forces said they fired "direct hits" on Syrian artillery in response to a mortar strike into the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.Western and Arab enemies of Assad hope the creation of a new Syrian National Coalition for Opposition and Revolutionary Forces can finally unify a fractious and ineffective opposition.Mouaz Alkhatib, a former imam of a Damascus mosque, flew to Cairo to seek the Arab League's blessing for the new assembly, the day after he was unanimously elected to lead it. He made a concerted effort to address the sectarian and ethnic acrimony underlying 20 months of civil war that has killed 38,000 people."We demand freedom for every Sunni, Alawi, Ismaili, Christian, Druze, Assyrian ... and rights for all parts of the harmonious Syrian people," he said, calling on Syrian soldiers to desert and all sects to unite.His assembly was recognised by the six Sunni Muslim-ruled kingdoms of the Gulf Cooperation Council as the "legitimate representative of the Syrian people". Washington said it would back it "as it charts a course toward the end of Assad's bloody rule and the start of the peaceful, just, democratic future".Shooting across the line that divides Syria from the Israeli-occupied Golan was just the latest spillover of violence that has alarmed neighbors including Turkey and Lebanon.Israeli military sources said Israel hit Syrian army mobile artillery on Monday, the second straight day it fired back in retaliation for what it said were stray mortars hitting Golan."We will not allow our borders to be breached or our citizens to be fired at," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said. Israel seized the Golan Heights from Syria in 1967. Although the two countries have not fought over the territory since 1973, they are still officially at war.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon called on Israel and Syria to halt firing.In the north, where fighting has sent thousands of Syrian refugees fleeing into Turkey, a Reuters correspondent saw Syrian jets and helicopters bomb Ras al-Ain, a border town taken by rebels last week. Bombs landed just meters from the frontier, sending up plumes of black smoke.Opposition groups said 12-16 people died in the air strikes. Turkey said it did not appear that the planes had entered its air space. It is discussing with NATO allies deploying Patriot air defense missiles on the border.
WRANGLING
Rebels and opposition politicians formed Alkhatib's new opposition coalition after days of wrangling in Qatar under intense U.S. and Qatari pressure.Backers hope the new body will give rebels inside Syria more clout and reassure religious and ethnic minorities, after a Syrian National Council (SNC) made up mainly of exiled Islamists proved ineffective as the main opposition voice.Western and Arab opponents of Assad want the coalition to attract support from minority sects who had been alienated from the opposition by the prominence of well-organized Sunnis from the Muslim Brotherhood. They also hope to rein in Islamist fighters, some of whom they believe are linked to al Qaeda."Alkhatib is a dynamic, progressive Islamist, popular in Damascus and the rest of Syria," said Mazen Adi, a prominent Syrian human rights defender who worked with Alkhatib before the revolt. "He is not a trigger-happy Jihadist, and he can play a role in containing the extremist groups."Alkhatib met Arab League chief Nabil Elaraby before the gathering of Arab foreign ministers in Cairo. European foreign ministers are due to join them on Tuesday."The most important thing that could come out from (Monday's) meeting is a form of recognition for the new Syrian council alliance that was established in Doha," said one Arab diplomat, speaking before the talks on condition of anonymity.A League official said any recognition of the opposition would probably avoid describing it as the sole legitimate representative of the Syrian people, because some Arab states were still reluctant to jettison Assad."There are still Arab states like Iraq and Lebanon that are not fully supportive of the Syrian revolt," the official said, also on condition he not be identified.Alkhatib, in his early 50s, was jailed several times for criticizing Assad before fleeing into exile this year. He has long promoted a liberal Islam tolerant of Syria's Christian, Alawite and other minorities, activists say.Hassan Hassan, a Syrian commentator based in the United Arab Emirates, said Alkhatib, as an independent cleric, would be a counterweight to growing influence of the Muslim Brotherhood."He's been active for a long time, campaigning against the idea of retribution and extremism. He talks about liberty and freedom for the masses. So he is perceived as a credible figure," Hassan said.Russia, which with China has foiled U.N. action on Syria and views Assad's opponents as pawns of the West, urged the new body to negotiate and to reject outside meddling.Asked if China recognised the new coalition, Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei called on all parties to initiate "a political transition process guided by the Syrian people".It remains to be seen whether the Coalition can succeed where the exiled SNC failed in overcoming mutual suspicion and in-fighting that weakened the opposition."This is a significant step forward, because they finally seem to be forging a more broadly-based platform that includes the SNC but without the SNC taking the lion's share," said Salman Shaikh, director of the Doha Brookings Center think tank.(Additional reporting by Andrew Hammond in Doha, Khaled Yacoub Oweis in Amman, Jonathon Burch in Ceylanpinar, Crispian Balmer in Jerusalem, Arshad Mohammed in Washington, Michael Martina in Beijing, Steve Gutterman in Moscow, Regan Doherty in Doha and Ayman Samir in Cairo; Writing by Peter Graff; Editing by Giles Elgood and Philippa Fletcher)

Look at how Syria neighbors are drawn into its war

By The Associated Press | Associated Press – 9 hrs ago NOV 13,12
Syria's neighbors are increasingly being drawn into the country's civil war in a variety of ways, whether militarily or due to an exodus of Syrians fleeing the fighting at home. The spillover has raised concerns that the nearly 20-month-long conflict between Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime and rebels trying to topple him could endanger the entire Middle East.Here is a look at how neighboring states are being affected by Syria's bloodletting:
TURKEY
Turkey has struck the Syrian military repeatedly in response to shelling and mortar rounds from Syria since Oct. 3, when shells from Syria struck the Turkish village of Akcakale, killing two women and three children. The incident prompted NATO to convene an emergency meeting and Turkey sent tanks and anti-aircraft batteries to the area. Turkey's military has also scrambled fighter jets after Syrian helicopters flew close to the border.There are about 120,000 Syrian refugees sheltering in Turkish camps, with up to 70,000 more living in Turkey outside the camps. Thousands more wait at the border, held up as Turkey struggles to cope with the influx. Turkey also hosts much of the opposition and rebel leadership.Turkey has called for a buffer zone in Syria where the opposition and civilians would be protected, a step that would likely require international enforcement of a no-fly zone. Russia and China have blocked robust moves against the Syrian regime at the U.N. Security Council, and the United States has been reluctant to use its military in another Mideast conflict.
ISRAEL
Israel on Monday became the second country to strike the Syrian military, after Turkey. An Israeli tank hit a Syrian armored vehicle after shells from fighting in Syria exploded in Israel-controlled Golan Heights. A day earlier, Israel fired a warning shot near a group of Syrian fighters.Syrian shells have exploded inside the Golan several times in recent weeks damaging apple orchards, sparking fires and spreading panic but causing no injuries. In early November, three Syrian tanks entered the Golan demilitarized zone, and in a separate incident an Israeli patrol vehicle was peppered with bullets fired from Syria; no one was hurt in the incident and the Israeli military deemed it accidental.There is concern in Israel that Assad may try to spark a conflict with Israel, opening up the potential for attacks by Lebanon's militant Hezbollah and Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Israel has also warned that Syria's chemical weapons could be turned on the Jewish state. Still, while no friend of Assad, Israel is also worried that if he is toppled, Syria could fall into the hands of Islamic extremists or descend into sectarian warfare.
LEBANON
Mortars and shells from the Syrian side regularly crash in Lebanon, causing several casualties, though Lebanese forces have never fired back. More dangerously, Syria's conflict has heightened deep rivalries and sectarian tensions in its smaller neighbor. Lebanon is divided between pro-Assad and anti-Assad factions, a legacy of the nearly three decades when Damascus all but ruled Lebanon, until 2005. Assad's ally, the Hezbollah militia is Lebanon's strongest political and military movement.On Oct. 19, a car bomb assassinated Lebanon's top intelligence chief, Wissam al-Hassan. Many in Lebanon blamed Syria and Hezbollah for the assassination.The northern Lebanese city of Tripoli has seen repeated clashes between Sunni Muslims and Alawites — the Shiite offshoot sect to which Assad belongs. Battles in the city in May and August killed at least 23 people total and wounded dozens.The kidnapping of Lebanese Shiites in Syria by rebels has also had repercussions in Lebanon. In May, Shiites blocked roads and burned tires in protest over the abductions, and later in the summer a powerful Shiite clan took 20 Syrians and a Turk in Lebanon captive in retaliation, all of whom have since been released.Lebanon also shelters about 100,000 Syrian refugees.
JORDAN
Jordan has taken the brunt of the refugee exodus from Syria, with some 265,000 Syrians fleeing across the border. Around 42,000 of them are housed at Zaatari, a dust-filled refugee camp, where riots have broken out several times by Syrians angry over lack of services.A growing number of stray Syrian missiles have fallen on Jordanian villages in the north in recent weeks, wounding several civilians.Late last month, a Jordanian border patrol officer was killed in clashes with eight militants trying to cross into Syria. Hours earlier, Jordan announced the arrest of 11 suspected al-Qaida-linked militants allegedly planning to attack shopping malls and Western diplomatic missions in Jordan.
IRAQ
Sunni and Shiite fighters from Iraq have made their way to Syria to join the civil war — the former on the side of the opposition, the latter siding with Assad's regime, according to Iraqi officials and Shiite militants. Sunni al-Qaida fighters are believed to be moving between Iraq and Syria, and some al-Qaida fighters in Iraq's western Anbar province have regrouped under the name of the Free Iraqi Army, a nod to the rebels' Free Syrian Army, Iraqi officials say.The United States has pressured Baghdad to stop Iranian planes suspected of ferrying arms to Syria from using Iraqi airspace. Iraq has so far acknowledged only forcing two planes to land for inspection and said it didn't find any weapons either time.About 49,000 Syrian refugees have temporarily resettled in Iraq, according to the U.N. refugee agency.

Abbas says he’ll return to talks with Israel — right after UN recognition

PA president certain that November 29 vote will grant ‘Palestine’ non-member status

By November 13, 2012, 12:26 am 0-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Monday announced that he would be ready to resume talks with Israel immediately after the UN General Assembly votes to upgrade “Palestine” to nonmember status at the end of the month.Abbas predicted that the vote would pass, and made clear that he would not heed US and Israeli pressure to cancel the gambit. “We had agreed to go get the vote on November 29,” Abbas told reporters at the Cairo-based Arab League. “The majority needed for the vote will be on our side.”“If it is possible to start talks on the following day, then we are ready for that,” Abbas was quoted by Reuters as saying.The US, Israel and some European states have urged Abbas not to seek the non-binding upgrade, with Israeli ministers threatening unspecified unilateral actions if he goes ahead. Israel and the US regard the move as an abandonment of the Palestinian Authority’s commitment to negotiating a two-state solution bilaterally with Israel.Abbas last year attempted to win UN Security Council approval for the establishment of “Palestine,” but could not muster enough votes for what would have constituted biding approval, and the US was ready to use its Security Council veto if needed. In the General Assembly, by contrast, the Palestinians are assured a majority. The upgrade would give “Palestine” upgraded status in various legal and other UN institutions, and Palestinian officials have said they intend to utilize that status to contest the legality of Israel’s policies in the West Bank.Israeli-Palestinian talks broke down four years ago, and the Palestinians refuse to renew them until Israel agrees to halt all settlement construction, which Jerusalem has refused to do.Associated Press contributed to this report.

Abbas Confirms UN Bid for November 29

Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas announced on Monday that the PA will present its bid for non-state UN membership, despite U.S. and Israeli opposition, AFP reported.Following talks with Arab League chief Nabil al-Arabi in Cairo, "it has been agreed that the request will be presented on November 29," Abbas told reporters, calling for support from Arab states.The November 29 date was chosen on purpose, as it is the anniversary of the day in 1947 in which the United Nations voted in favor of the partition plan. The resolution recommended the creation of two states, one Arab, one Jewish and granted a small portion of the area, under the British Mandate, to the new Jewish state.The announcement was made a day after Abbas responded to U.S. President Barack Obama with a direct “no” when told the U.S. administration is opposed to the PA’s unilateral move at the United Nations.In a phone conversation with Abbas on Sunday, Obama "reiterated the United States' opposition to unilateral efforts at the United Nations", according to a White House statement released after the conversation."We don't want any confrontations with the United States or Israel. If we could start a dialogue or negotiations the day after the vote, we will," Abbas said, according to AFP."We know we are a country under occupation, but we want our land which was occupied in 1967, including Jerusalem. Israel says Palestinian lands are disputed and open to negotiation, and is hurrying to build settlements, covering Jerusalem with settlements," he accused.
Abbas met earlier on Monday in Riyadh with Saudi King Abdullah, before travelling to Cairo for an Arab League meeting.Palestinian negotiator Mohammed Shtayeh told a news conference in Ramallah that the bid had been delayed at Washington's request until after last week's U.S. presidential election."Now there is no excuse for anybody to ask us not to go to the United Nations," Shtayeh said, according to AFP.
"President Abbas will attend the Assembly General session for the vote," his spokesman, Nabil Abu Rudeina, told AFP.Shtayeh played down threats by Israel to take punitive measures against the PA should it press ahead with its UN bid, saying he believed any response would be relatively limited."I think that most of these measures that have been declared will be empty threats," AFP quoted him as having said."Israel has a vested interest in maintaining the status of the Palestinian Authority as it stands today and I don't think that the Israelis are in a position to push this Palestinian Authority to a total collapse," said Shtayeh.He added the Arab League had promised the PA a financial safety net in the event of punitive Israeli sanctions.PLO negotiator Saeb Erekat told Voice of Palestine radio on Monday that PA officials were working to have the League pledge implemented."We are trying to activate the decision related to the Arab safety network, valued at $100 million monthly, in case Israel blocks our money and the U.S. closes the PLO office and halts aid," he said.Erekat said "Obama did not utter any threats but there are threats from the Congress, which has a draft bill, according to which it would demand closing the PLO office in Washington and cutting off aid" if the UN bid goes ahead.Channel 10 News reported last week that Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman has threatened that if the PA goes ahead with its unilateral statehood bid he “will work to ensure the PA will collapse.”Lieberman reportedly stressed that a unilateral statehood bid by the PA will "put an end to the chances to resume peace negotiations."Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz also threatened the PA on Saturday, saying that Israel would once again halt the transfer of the taxes it collects for the Palestinian Authority if it pursues its statehood bid.

Merkel wants to 'bring hope' to Portugal

12.11.12 @ 22:05 By Valentina Pop
BERLIN - German Chancellor Angela Merkel has confronted the ire of exasperated Portuguese, but maintained that "painful reforms" are the only way out of the crisis and that the government in Lisbon is doing all the right things.On her second trip to a bailed out country over the span of a few weeks, Merkel wanted to show her empathy with the Portuguese people suffering under the austerity programme prescribed by international lenders."I know the effects of the adjustment are being felt very intensely here at the moment," Merkel said on Monday (12 November) during a joint press conference with Prime Minister Pedro Coelho.
"This is also a visit to find out more about the situation here and perhaps to give a little hope," she said, adding that she came along with investors and ministers wiling to help create more jobs.Unemployment in Portugal stands at 16 percent and the economy is in its third year of recession.Germany had shown "solidarity" as it was the largest contributor to the €78 billion bailout for Portugal and "will continue to do so," Merkel said. But she insisted that the public deficit (5% of GDP) and debt (108% of GDP) had to be cut back and structural reforms implemented to make the country more competitive and spare the next generations from an ever-bigger growing bill.Of the protesters that portrayed her as a Nazi and chanted "Merkel raus" - similar to what happened during her visit to Greece last month - the German Chancellor said that in a democracy people have their right to express their opinion."I lived for 34 years in the former Democratic Republic of Germany and back then protests were not allowed. Protests belong to democracy. Perhaps we should visit each other more often in these times of crisis," Merkel said, in a veiled admission that her olive branch-reaching visits to bailed out countries should have happened earlier.As for the wage cuts and other "competitiveness-boosting" measures adopted by the centre-right government in Lisbon, Merkel said they were "courageous" and they would eventually come to bear fruit."But it takes a while. Germany too went through a painful adjustment, we had 5 million unemployed and the rate went even higher after labour market reforms were introduced," she said.For his part, the Portuguese Prime Minister said all the things Merkel wanted to hear - competitiveness is the key, people should understand that the austerity pill is needed to correct "mistakes of the past" and the German Chancellor is not to blame for the current hardships.
Even Greece, a fellow bailed out country, should strive not to disappoint lenders, he added. "Our partners in the eurozone are trying hard to keep Greece in, but it is also up to them to stay," he said.The troika, consisting of experts from the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund, recently started its review of Portugal's efforts needed to disburse the next bailout tranche.
But popular support for the bailout is fading away. Last time around before a troika report, the government had to scrap a controversial cut in what employers had to pay for their workers' social rights after mass protests and strikes over the move.

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

70% of Venice slips underwater in the worst flooding in 140 years

Posted on November 12, 2012
November 12, 2012 – VENICE - Tourists attached plastic bags to their legs or stripped off to take a dip in St Mark’s Square in Venice on Sunday as rising sea waters surged through the lagoon city. High water measuring 1.49 metres (5ft) above the normal level of the Adriatic sea came with bad weather that swept Italy at the weekend, causing floods in historic cities including Vicenza as well in the region of Tuscany 250 miles further south. Venice’s high water, or “acqua alta,” said to be the sixth highest since 1872, flooded 70% of the city and was high enough to make raised wooden platforms for pedestrians float away. The record high water in Venice – 1.94 meters in 1966 – prompted many residents to abandon the city for new lives on the mainland. Venetians bombarded Facebook with moans about the city’s weather forecasters, who had predicted just 1.2 metres of water on Saturday, before correcting their forecast at dawn on Sunday. “How come the people from the council who put out the wooden platforms were predicting 150cm?” asked Matelda Bottoni, who manages a jewelry design shop off St Mark’s Square, which floods when water reaches 105cm. “Many residents and shopkeepers had gone to the mountains for the day and did not have time to rush back.” Bottoni is so used to floods she has installed waterproof furniture and an angled floor. “I cannot keep the water out, but at least I can make sure it goes straight back out when it recedes,” she said. Matteo Secchi, a hotelier and head of a protest group, who grew up in ground floor flat in Venice and recalls splashing into water on getting out of bed, said his hotel was only safe up to 140cm. “This morning the lagoon came right into the hotel entrance, and this is not clean water – you need to mop with disinfectant twice after it goes down,” he said. “The British tourists don’t complain but the Americans can’t understand how it’s possible.” Secchi complained that a running event around the city had not been cancelled on Sunday. “As Venetians were trying to fix their homes and shops, people were running down the flooded streets splashing everyone with water,” he said. Alessandro Maggioni, the city’s assessor for public works, defended the Venice weather centre, describing the high water as “exceptional and unpredictable.” The Moses flood barrier system being built to protect the lagoon, due for completion in 2015, would have kept the city dry, he said. “Meanwhile, there is no rise in the incidence of high waters,” he said. Bottoni disagreed. “My shop now has some form of flooding 100 days a year, up from 30-40 days when I moved in just 10 years ago.” But she does not plan to leave. “I was born and raised here and will stay here for the satisfaction of being in Venice.” –Guardian
Floods ravage Haiti: Flood waters inundated impoverished areas of Cap Haitien, Haiti’s second largest city, killing as many as 17 people, including three children, city officials said Friday. “The city has been struck by disaster. There are many dead and major damage. All the populous areas are flooded,” Cap Haitien Mayor Wilborde Beon told AFP by telephone. Beon said many people had to be rescued and given shelter from the high waters, which swept through the northern city Thursday night amid heavy rains in the region. “The entrance to the city is completely flooded, all the rivers and ravines are swollen,” he said, appealing for aid and support. Preliminary estimates put the number of dead at 17, most of them when their homes collapsed in the flooding and heavy rains, the city’s police chief, Kenel Pierre, told AFP. “Haitian police patrols found a number of bodies in the streets. We have seen the bodies of three children aged two or three,” Pierre said. Four members of a family of eight were found dead Friday morning by rescue workers. Three children were unaccounted for and their father was in the hospital, officials said. “There are effectively many victims that we have not been able to confirm because it is difficult to move around,” Beon said. The latest disaster to befall Haiti, which was devastated by a 2010 earthquake that killed some 200,000 people, comes just two weeks after it was hit by Hurricane Sandy, which claimed the lives of at least 54 people. “We ask the private sector to help us because it continues to rain,” said Beon. “All other sectors of the state have been mobilized.”–Space Daily
