PSALMS 97:3
3 A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about.

EZEKIEL 5:15-17
15  So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment unto the (ARAB/MUSLIM) nations that are round about thee,(ISRAEL) when I shall execute judgments in thee in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I the LORD have spoken it.
16  When I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, which shall be for their destruction, and which I will send to destroy you: and I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread:
17  So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts,(WHEN RUSSIA/MUSLIMS GET DEFEATED THIER BODIES GET EATEN BY BIRDS,ANIMALS IN ISRAEL MIGRATION SEASON) and they shall bereave thee; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee;(NUKES) and I will bring the sword upon thee. I the LORD have spoken it.

REVELATION 14:18-20
18 And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
20 And the winepress was trodden without the city,(JERUSALEM) and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.(200 MILES) (THE SIZE OF ISRAEL)

ISAIAH 66:15-18
15 For, behold, the LORD will come with fire,(NUKES) and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
16 For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many.
17 They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD.
18 For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.

ISAIAH 26:21
21 For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity:(GOD/ISRAEL HATE AND BRAKING OF HIS COMMANDMENTS) the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.(WW3,1/2 earths population die - 3 BILLION).

Iran develops new generation of uranium centrifuges

MPs push for bill to legislate enrichment of fissile material to 60% purity — 12 times the limit agreed to last month

By Ilan Ben Zion December 27, 2013, 1:54 am 11-The Times of Israel

The head of Iran’s atomic energy organization on Thursday said that the Islamic Republic has designed a new generation of uranium centrifuges, and that they are ready to be manufactured after testing.Ali Akbar Salehi, the Iranian Atomic Energy Organization’s chief, gave no indication to Iranian media when production of the new centrifuges would take place, nor were specific details about their capacity mentioned.According to Salehi, Iran currently possesses 19,000 centrifuges, 1,000 more than his predecessor said the country had in August.Iran’s Islamic Republic News Agency quoted Salehi saying that Iran is proud to be among the few countries “that are capable of conducting the full fuel cycle of the nuclear fuel production from discovery to mining and from there to turning uranium to nuclear fuel.”Earlier in December, an AEO spokesperson said Iran provided the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) information about the new line of centrifuges, which PressTV quoted him saying “has a higher capacity” than previous generations of equipment used in the country’s nuclear program.Thursday’s announcement came following a push by a significant number of Iranian lawmakers to legislate the enrichment of uranium to 60 percent purity — 12 times the cap Iran agreed by Iran as part of a deal reached with the US and world powers in November.At 60% pure uranium 235, Iran could quite quickly convert its stockpiles of enriched fissile material to weapons-grade uranium, a major concern of Israel and the United States. Iran contends, however, that its nuclear weapons program is exclusively for peaceful purposes.According to the semi-official Fars News Agency, 100 of the 290 members of Iran’s parliament signed a draft law calling on President Hasan Rouhani to approve enrichment of uranium to 60%, saying it was necessary for fueling nuclear submarines and “other facilities in case the western anti-Iran sanctions are intensified.”The report noted the several such bills have been proffered by Iranian lawmakers without success in recent years.

Member states want EU embassy in Iran, MEP says

Today @ 12:04DEC 27,13-EUOBSERVER

By Andrew Rettman

BRUSSELS - EU countries have informally told the European Parliament they want the Union's foreign service to open an embassy in Iran.Tarja Cronberg, a Finnish Green MEP who chairs the parliament's Iran delegation, said member states' ambassadors in Tehran backed the idea when she met them in the Iranian capital on an official trip earlier this month."We held a meeting with all the [EU] ambassadors and they really stressed the importance of more open exchange … They said the best tool for this would be an EU embassy or maybe the creation of an EU special representative [for Iran] as a first step," she told EUobserver.
She noted that: "The Iranians are also open to the idea … We mentioned it to the foreign minister and the Iranian President's chief of staff and they were generally positive."She added that Iranian officials told her "the EU plays a positive role in the world, but it is not visible enough in the Middle East."Twenty four EU states have embassies or consulates in the Islamic republic.The new climate in relations comes after UN Security Council veto powers and Iran agreed an interim deal on its nuclear programme in Geneva in November.Italy's foreign minister Emma Bonino also went to Iran this month. She said in a statement that: "Italy intends to open a new season of dialogue with Iran, and to bring other European countries along."
A Polish official told this website on Thursday (27 December) that Polish foreign minister Radek Sikorski is likely to go to Tehran in January or February.The EU already has embassies in other pariah states, such as Belarus.But Iran and the EU remain wary of each other despite the Geneva breakthrough.Iran has also invited Swedish foreign minister Carl Bildt to visit. But a Swedish spokesman said on Thursday "there is no decision" if he will go.Polish and Swedish officials added that there is no official EU position on the embassy idea, no matter what their envoys told Cronberg in Tehran.The EU foreign service could not be contacted for a comment.But Cronberg noted that her contacts in the service are "not very positive" about a new embassy, in part due to the financial cost of opening another mission.Meanwhile, Iran also told Cronberg it is happy to host the EU's special representative on human rights, Stavros Lambrinidis, with a view to launching a new EU-Iran "human rights dialogue."Iran hangs hundreds of people a year, mostly for drug-related offences.
Cronberg told this website that Iranian MPs and officials "are seriously thinking about diminishing the number of executions for drug crimes."But they are less open to change in other areas.Iran has also jailed dozens of journalists and human rights defenders. It has the death penalty for "sodomy" and it flogs people who drink wine.The Finnish MEP said the Iranian parliament contains plenty of hardliners who mistrust the West. She added that the regime disagrees with the EU on what the Union calls "universal" values, because some EU values contradict its Islamic code.Cronberg has in the past attracted criticism for her Iran-friendly politics.
The AJC, a Jewish lobby group in Brussels, has said the EU parliament visit to Iran is a PR gift for the regime.But Cronberg noted that Iranian dissidents, such as human rights lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh, who was recently freed from prison, also want more EU-Iran contacts."She [Sotoudeh] told me she is very happy that we are here, that she feels energised by our visit … but she urged us to ask tough questions," the MEP told this website.She added that ordinary Iranian people have "high expectations" that the Geneva process will end their country's international isolation."People were very happy that our delegation came. They greeted us in the street and welcomed us," she said, recalling her walkabout in Tehran.

Arafat died of natural causes, Russian experts say

State forensics agency tested samples from Palestinian leader’s body, finds polonium didn’t kill him

By Stuart Winer and Times of Israel staff December 26, 2013, 12:32 pm 20

Former Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat died of natural causes and was not poisoned by polonium, a Russian forensic institute said on Wednesday.The conclusion was in line with findings by French experts who earlier this month ruled out the possibility that Arafat died of poisoning, as some had suspected, but in conflict with Swiss scientists’ claims.“Yasser Arafat died not from the effects of radiation but of natural causes,” Vladimir Uiba, head of the Federal Medico-Biological Agency (FMBA), said according to the Russian Interfax news service.Arafat died November 11, 2004, at a French military hospital, a month after falling ill at his West Bank headquarters. At the time, French doctors said he died of a stroke and had a blood-clotting problem, but records were inconclusive about what caused that condition.Palestinian Ambassador to Russia, Fayed Mustafa, was quoted by state RIA Novosti news agency as saying Thursday that the Palestinian authorities respect the Russian experts’ conclusions but consider it necessary to continue research into Arafat’s death.

Uiba said, however, that his agency hasn’t received any Palestinian request for additional studies.One of the most famous and recent cases of polonium-210 poisoning was that of ex-KGB officer Alexander Litvinenko who died in 2006 after drinking tea laced with the radioactive isotope.Britain has accused two Russians of the 2006 killing, but Moscow has refused to extradite them.In 2012, news station Al-Jazeera reported a forensic analysis of Arafat’s underwear, headscarves and other belongings by Switzerland’s Institute for Radiation Physics found trace amounts of the radioactive element polonium, leading to accusations that Israel poisoned the Palestinian leader.Earlier this year, Arafat’s grave in his Ramallah compound was reopened. Swiss, Russian and French scientists were given samples of the remains and burial soil, but test results showed no indication of poisoning.Swiss scientists said last month they found at least 18 times the normal level of radioactive polonium in Arafat’s bones, findings which they said “moderately” supported the theory that he was poisoned.But French scientists who had been looking into Arafat’s death concluded he died of a “generalized infection.”The Palestinians launched an investigation at the time of Arafat’s death, reportedly encompassing hundreds of statements from Palestinians and non-Palestinians in the West Bank and around the world. No suspects emerged and no arrests were made.An Israeli expert on radiation quoted by Ynet said the Swiss report of finding polonium was “completely fabricated.” Dr. Ehud Ne’eman said there would be no traces of Polonium 210 if the poison was injected before 2004.Polonium can be a byproduct of the chemical processing of uranium, but usually it’s made artificially in a nuclear reactor or a particle accelerator. Dozens of countries including Russia, Israel and the US have the nuclear capability to produce polonium.

In November 2012, a leading French doctor who teaches at the Paris hospital where Arafat died told The Times of Israel, based on Arafat’s medical report, that there was “absolutely no way” the Palestinian leader was poisoned.Arafat’s medical records concluded he died in November 2004 from a stroke “that resulted from a bleeding disorder caused by an unidentified infection,” The New York Times reported in 2005. The paper wrote at the time that the first independent review “suggests that poisoning was highly unlikely.”

Toronto ice storm: Thousands begin Day 6 without power

32,000 Toronto Hydro customers still without electricity

CBC News Posted: Dec 27, 2013 7:19 AM ET Last Updated: Dec 27, 2013 9:02 AM ET

With thousands of Toronto residents now in their sixth day without heat and electricity in freezing temperatures, some say they're reaching the breaking point. Despite this, many will likely not have power restored for at least a few more days.CBC's Travis Dhanraj spoke to people Thursday who've been without heat and power since Sunday's devastating ice storm hit.The storm knocked out power to more than 250,000 customers. As of Friday morning, Toronto Hydro reported that 32,400 customers are still without power while crews work around the clock to repair damaged lines.

Among the thousands still without power is George Sabourin and his wife Carole Anne Marie. They have no heat or power in their Victoria Park apartment. Worse, the water was shut off to prevent pipes from freezing.
"All my food is spoiled. I have to throw everything out in the fridge," Carole Anne Marie said. The city has set up warming centres across the city, but the Sabourins say they won't go because they're worried about their pets. (The city has confirmed with CBC News that pets are welcome at city warming centres: Dogs must be leashed and cats must be in a crate).And while residents become increasingly frustrated, Toronto Hydro says they're working around the clock to restore power.

Full restoration likely days away

Spokesperson Tanya Bruckmueller said that while large blocks of power have been restored, crews are now into the slower work of reconnecting individual buildings. She said it may still be a few days before all customers have power.Scarborough remains the hardest hit area of the city, with pockets of outages remaining in North York, Don Mills and the West end. In some cases, Toronto Hydro workers have been slowed by fallen trees and branches that litter many streets.Bruckmueller also asked residents not "engage" work crews with questions."We want to make sure our crews can concentrate on the work that they're doing," she said Friday in an interview on CBC News Network. "They don't have any more information than what's out there. The faster they get the work done, the faster everybody gets power back."Bruckmueller also said some residents may see their power restored, then shut off again. In many cases this is a good sign, and a possible indication that crews are working in their area.Toronto Mayor Rob Ford is expected to provide an update on the storm situation at 11 a.m. Friday.

Chinese state media is once again bragging about Beijing’s military prowess, touting the fact that China’s new H-6K strategic bomber can attack U.S. military bases in South Korea as well as the Japanese mainland using long range nuclear cruise missiles.

The report features on the prominent pro-Communist Party news website Want China Times.

“With a range of between 1,500 and 2,000 kilometers, the CJ-10 meets the requirements of the PLA Air Force to possess the capability to launch strategic missile attacks against US military facilities and those of its allies in the Western Pacific,” states the report.The article also lauds the fact that the H-6K can target the Japanese mainland without even leaving Chinese airspace, in addition to Russian cities in the far east, all major cities in India, as well as Vietnam, Malaysia and the Philippines, “in a potential war against Southeast Asian neighbors over territories in the South China Sea.”“An H-6K taking off from the air base of the PLA’s 10th air division in Anqing, Anhui province, would be able to strike at all US military bases in South Korea,” states the report, noting that “the long-range cruise missile has become a crucial part of China’s nuclear arsenal.”This is just the latest example of aggressive and bellicose rhetoric emerging out of China.Earlier this month, a PLA military website bragged that China’s first aircraft carrier combat task force was close to rivaling the U.S. Navy.In November, Chinese state-run media released a map showing the locations of major U.S. cities and how they would be impacted by a nuclear attack launched from the PLA’s strategic submarine force.China’s moon landing program was also used as a reminder of Beijing’s growing offensive capabilities, with one state media report even discussing plans to turn the moon into a Star Wars-style “death star” from which the PLA could launch missiles against any target on Earth.A display to promote China’s Jade Rabbit Moon rover also included a background photograph of a mushroom cloud over Europe, a startling detail which some have interpreted as an indication that Beijing’s space program is a cover for the militarization of space.China is currently embroiled in a territorial dispute with Japan over the Senkaku Islands, tensions that were heightened earlier today when Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe visited a shrine seen by critics as a symbol of Tokyo’s wartime aggression.Facebook @ https://www.facebook.com/paul.j.watson.71-FOLLOW Paul Joseph Watson @ https://twitter.com/PrisonPlanet

Palestinians fume at Netanyahu plan to announce new settlement units

PA official says Israel ‘killing peace process’; PM to issue list of new plans close to release of Palestinian prisoners next week

By Times of Israel staff December 26, 2013, 6:14 am 23

Palestinian Authority officials expressed outrage at a report Wednesday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was set to announce new settlement construction next week, coinciding with Israel’s release of Palestinian prisoners in the third of four phased releases agreed upon as a precondition to peace talks.

The Palestinian Authority minister for Prisoners’ Affairs, Issa Karake, said that the linkage between Palestinian prisoner releases and new settlement units was “unacceptable.”“Unlike the release of prisoners, which advances peace talks and creates hope that a [peace] agreement can be reached, the building of settlements scuttles the possibility of moving forward [with negotiations],” said Karake, according to a report in Maariv Thursday.He added that from the Palestinian point of view, the upcoming announcement is considered an “inappropriate Israeli stunt that is not conducive to future talks.”Wasil Abu Yousif, a Palestinian official, said Wednesday that the expected announcement is evidence that Israel is “not serious” about pursuing peace. “It’s clear to everyone now that the Israeli government is killing the peace process.” While stopping short of threatening to withdraw from the current round of peace negotiations, he said Israel’s policy would force the Palestinians to seek “more substantial alternatives.”Israeli TV reports said that the plan to be announced by Netanyahu called for 1,000 to 2,000 new settlement homes. Channel 10 said the prime minister was going ahead with the announcement of new settlement building despite the fact that the last such announcement, which coincided with the second phase of prisoner releases, almost caused the collapse of peace talks. It said the US and EU had both urged him not to go ahead with the plan, but he was unmoved.Despite a recent uptick in violence in the past week, with attacks on Israeli targets in Gaza and the West Bank, and the attempted bombing of an Israeli bus in Bat Yam, the cabinet decided Wednesday it would proceed as planned with the release of the 26 Palestinian prisoners from Israeli prisons next Sunday.

Netanyahu in November halted much larger plans for new settlement construction advocated by his Housing Minister Uri Ariel, saying the move to push forward tens of thousands of new units over the Green Line was a “meaningless step” that would create pointless tension with the international community.According to the Central Bureau of Statistics, since the beginning of 2013, 32,290 construction sites for housing units were erected across Israel, an increase of 5.5% compared to the corresponding time frame in 2012.The release of Palestinian prisoners was one of the preconditions to negotiations with the Palestinian Authority. Israel in July agreed to release 104 prisoners, most of whom were convicted before the 1993 Oslo Accords, in four phases over the course of the nine-month negotiation process.According to a Channel 2 report, the Netanyahu cabinet decided Wednesday that it would stick by its pledge on the prisoner releases to the US, which is brokering the talks with the Palestinians, and that the spike in terrorism did not justify breaching that commitment. Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon said Wednesday that security officials would review which prisoners to release and which would remain incarcerated.Ya’alon remarked that Israel was not overjoyed to let them free, but reiterated that the release of these prisoners “stems from broader considerations.”Channel 2 said the pro-settlement Jewish Home party was not pushing for the announcement of new settlement building, since it felt the linkage of prisoner releases to West Bank settlement construction was damaging to the settlement enterprise. Thus, the report said, the announcement would be at the personal choice of Netanyahu.AP contributed to this report.

None hurt after Kassam fired at Ashkelon area

Rocket lands in open area; Iron Dome batteries deployed in Beersheba, Sderot, and Ashdod as Gaza tensions escalate

By Ilan Ben Zion and Times of Israel staff December 26, 2013, 1:59 am

A Kassam rocket was fired from Gaza and slammed into an open area near Ashkelon late Wednesday night.

There were no injuries and no damage, officials said.Red alert sirens wailed through the region before the missile hit, for the second time this week.The rocket came amid heightened tensions between Israel and the Palestinians following a string of attacks against Israeli civilians, police officers and soldiers, and Israeli retaliatory strikes against Gaza on Tuesday.Earlier Wednesday, the IDF deployed an Iron Dome missile interception battery to the area near the southern cities of Beersheba and Sderot, and on Thursday put a third battery near Ashdod.An IDF spokesperson said that the army usually moves its six anti-missile units around the country to address operational and training needs.Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon said Israel was taking measures designed to ensure it was ready for any escalation of hostilities, although IDF sources said they did not expect an escalation.On Tuesday, a Defense Ministry civilian worker was killed by sniper fire from the Gaza Strip, prompting retaliatory attacks by the Israeli Air Force. On Monday, a rocket fired from Gaza landed next to a children’s bus stop in the Ashkelon area.Relatives of the slain Defense Ministry worker, 22-year-old Saleh Abu Latif of Rahat, said Wednesday the IDF abandoned him and that the Defense Ministry didn’t provide him with body armor or a helmet while he was performing maintenance work on a damaged stretch of the border fence.A Defense Ministry spokesperson said in response that the IDF, not the ministry, was responsible for protecting civilian contractors and providing them with the necessary hardware. The IDF said it was investigating, and would “draw conclusions” at the end of the investigation.Following Tuesday’s killing, the IAF launched airstrikes against Hamas targets and IDF ground forces gathered along the border and fired into the Strip. Palestinian sources in Gaza claimed two people — 3-year-old Hala Sabiha and her father — were killed during the Israeli strikes, and nine were injured. The IDF did not comment on the claims.In the wake of the violence, the IDF closed the Kerem Shalom border crossing with the Gaza Strip to all commercial traffic.In spite of the heightened readiness on the border with Gaza and the deployment of Iron Dome, sources in the IDF said they expected a deescalation by Hamas.

In Jerusalem, the cabinet met on Wednesday, with ministers saying that Israel would retaliate with force against any attacks from the Gaza Strip, but that silence would be met with silence.“As far as we’re concerned Hamas is the sovereign power in the Gaza Strip and it is responsible for what happens there,” Ya’alon said. “We expect it to impose its authority on its people and on the members of other groups, and if it doesn’t do so we will continue to retaliate like we responded [on Tuesday] in a forceful and pointed manner.” “For greater security, we are planning for the possibility of an escalation [of hostilities] — with deployment of an Iron Dome battery and with other preparations — in case someone on the other side thinks otherwise,” the defense minister added.Despite the uptick in violence in the past week, with attacks on Israeli targets in Gaza and the West Bank, and the attempted bombing of an Israeli bus in Bat Yam, the cabinet decided Wednesday that it would proceed as planned with the release the another group of Palestinian prisoners next Sunday. This is the third of four phased releases of long-term terror convicts, agreed as part of the preconditions to negotiations with the Palestinian Authority. Israel in July agreed to release 104 prisoners convicted before the 1993 Oslo Accords in four waves over the course of the nine-month negotiation process.According a Channel 2 report, Israel said that it would stick by its commitment to the US, which is brokering the talks with the Palestinians, and that the spike in terrorism did not justify breaching that commitment. Ya’alon said, however, that security officials would review which prisoners to release and which would remain incarcerated.Ya’alon remarked that Israel was not overjoyed to let them free, but reiterated that the release of these prisoners “stems from broader considerations.”

Channel 2 said the prisoner releases would be accompanied by an Israeli announcement of new building plans in the settlements, which it said had been coordinated with US Secretary of State John Kerry. The pro-settlement Jewish Home was not pushing for the announcement of new settlement building, since it felt the linkage of prisoner releases to West Bank settlement construction was damaging to the settlement enterprise. Thus, the report said, the announcement would be at the personal choice of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Israel blames terror surge on Palestinian incitement

Netanyahu’s office calls on Mahmoud Abbas to condemn series of recent attacks, one of which killed a civilian

By Stuart Winer December 25, 2013, 12:40 pm 20-The times of Israel

Israel pointed to ongoing incitement in the Palestinian Authority as the driving force behind a spate of recent terror attacks on Israelis, one of which was fatal, and criticized Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas for not speaking out against the incidents.“The terrorist attacks against Israelis over the last few days are a direct result of the incitement and hatred propagated in Palestinian schools and media,” said Mark Regev, spokesman for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in a statement on Wednesday. “We are disappointed that so far President Abbas has not condemned these acts of terrorism as one would expect from a partner in peace talks.”Regev leveled the accusation the day after an Israeli man working on the border fence with Gaza, 22-year-old Saleh Abu Latif, was shot dead by a sniper from within the Hamas-controlled coastal strip. The IAF responded with a series of airstrikes on Hamas targets that were accompanied by fire from IDF ground forces gathered along the border.According to Palestinian sources in the Strip, two people — a 3-year-old child named Hala Sabiha and her father — were killed during the Israeli strikes, and nine were injured.

The Gaza clashes came alongside a series of terror incidents this week that saw a bomb explode on a bus in Bat Yam on Sunday minutes after the occupants were safely evacuated, and a policeman stabbed in the back in near Jerusalem on Monday. There was also an attempted drive-by shooting at an IDF jeep on Tuesday night that caused no damage or injuries, as well as other attacks on Israeli civilians and police in the West Bank.Economy and Trade Minister Naftali Bennett also blamed the Palestinian Authority for the increase in violence because, he said, it goads the Palestinian population to carry out terror.“Israel is continuing with the peace process as though there is no terror while the Palestinians are continuing the terror as though there is no peace process,” he wrote in a Monday post on his Facebook page. “The claim that the Palestinian Authority is not connected to the terror attacks is blowing up in our faces every day.”“When you educate children in terror from the age of kindergarten, when your television broadcasts depict Jews as monsters, when even Tel Aviv is not on your maps — then you are a terrorist,” he concluded.

Christmas Bomb Attacks Kill at Least 34 in Baghdad's Christian Areas

People stand among debris at the site of a bomb attack at a marketplace in Baghdad's Doura District on Dec. 25.

Wednesday, 25 Dec 2013 01:05 PM

-REUTERS-NEWSMAXWORLD

BAGHDAD — At least 34 people were killed in three bombings in Christian areas of Baghdad on Wednesday, including a car bomb that exploded as worshippers were leaving a Christmas service, Iraqi police and medics said.Elsewhere in Iraq, at least 10 people were killed in three attacks that targeted police and Shiite pilgrims, police said.Iraq is enduring its deadliest violence in years, reviving memories of the sectarian bloodshed between Sunni and Shiite Muslims that killed tens of thousands in 2006-07.The day's deadliest incident occurred in the Doura district of southern Baghdad when the car bomb went off as Christians were emerging from a Christmas mass, killing at least 24 people.Shortly before, two bombs in a crowded market in a separate, mostly Christian area of Doura killed another 10 people.

Ahmed Edan, a policeman on duty in the area of the attacks, said the sound of the first of the two explosions caused worshippers to leave the church."A car parked near the church exploded when the families were hugging each other goodbye before leaving. The blast was powerful," he said. "Bodies of women, girls and men were lying on the ground covered in blood. Others were screaming and crying while they were trying to save some of their wounded relatives."No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attacks in Baghdad, which also wounded 52 people.Iraq's fast-dwindling Christian minority has been a target of al-Qaida Sunni militants in the past, including a 2010 attack on a church that killed dozens of people.The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad condemned the bombings, saying in a statement that Christians in Iraq had suffered "deliberate and senseless targeting by terrorists for many years, as have many other innocent Iraqis."Al-Qaida-linked militants have stepped up attacks on Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's Shiite-led government and anyone seen as supporting it in recent months. More than 8,000 people have been killed this year, according to the United Nations.Car bombs, shootings, and suicide attacks killed scores of Shiite pilgrims in the week before the Shiite holy day of Arbain, which coincided with Christmas Eve this year.On Wednesday, a bomb struck a minibus in southern Baghdad carrying pilgrims back from the Shiite holy city of Kerbala, killing three and wounding eight, police and medics said.To the west of Tikrit, 150 kilometers (95 miles) north of Baghdad, gunmen killed three policemen on patrol, police sources said.A bomb exploded near a football pitch in the town of Ishaqi, 100 kilometers north of the capital, killing four people, including two policemen, and wounding eight, police said.

Jerusalem patriarch urges 'just' Israel-Palestinian solution

21 hours ago-DEC 25,13-yahoonews

Bethlehem (Palestinian Territories) (AFP) - The Latin patriarch of Jerusalem called on Tuesday for a "just and equitable solution" to the decades-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict and for reconciliation in the Middle East.Monsignor Fuad Twal issued his plea in a homily he is to deliver at Christmas Eve midnight mass in Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus, a copy of which was obtained by AFP.The service will be attended by Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas and other dignitaries.Addressing Abbas, he said "we pray for you and for your mission in finding a just and equitable solution to the present conflict, for Palestinian unity, for the peace and prosperity of your country. We ask God to grant you wisdom and courage.""In the Holy Land, we are living a conflict that does not seem to have a solution in the short term and which weighs heavily" on its inhabitants," said Twal, who its senior Roman Catholic prelate."This painful reality raises numerous questions concerning our future in this country and causes us much worry," added the 73-year-old patriarch.
But "the answer lies neither in emigration nor in closing in on ourselves. It consists in staying here and in living and dying here," he added, echoing Pope Francis's concerns of a massive exodus of Christians from the Middle East."From this Holy Place, we remember all the adversities in our world: from civil wars in Africa to the typhoon in the Philippines, the difficult situation in Egypt and in Iraq, the tragedy playing out in Syria/
He also spoke of "our own problems here: the prisoners and their families who hope for their release, the poor who have lost their land and their homes demolished, families waiting to be reunited, those out of work and all who suffer from the economic crisis."In prayer, he said: "O Holy Child, God of goodness and mercy, look with kindness on the Holy Land and on our people who live in Palestine, in Israel, in Jordan and all in the Middle East. Grant them the gift of reconciliation so that they may all be brothers – sons of one God."

And here are the bounderies of the land that Israel will inherit either through war or peace or God in the future. God says its Israels land and only Israels land. They will have every inch God promised them of this land in the future.

Israel will 'Contain' Latest Gaza Violence

Jewish Home head says if terror continues, there will be no quiet on the Palestinian side, either.

IDF Cobra helicopter firing missile-Flash 90

Israel plans to “contain” the latest murder perpetrated by the Hamas-run Gaza terror entity, according to reports on Voice of Israel public radio.A civilian worker for the IDF, 22 year-old Salah Shukri Abu Latyef was shot fatally Tuesday by a sniper near Gaza, where he was working on fixing the security fence. However, a senior military source told the radio station that the IDF “intends to contain the terror attack and not escalate the situation.” The source said that the incident is a serious one, seeing as it involves the first killing of an Israeli by Gazans since the end of operation Pillar of Defense last year.The message delivered to Hamas is that the IDF “is weighing its next steps,” he said. Agriculturalists in the region have been told to stay at least one kilometer (3,000 feet) away from the Gaza security fence, and to use roads that avoid the area near the fence.Speaking on Voice of Israel, Bennett appeared to deliver a similar message. He said that while the South would remain quiet for now – if the terror wave continues, there will be no quiet on the Arab side, either. He also noted that the Ramallah-based Palestinian Authority is engaged in incitement to terror, naming its squares for suicide bombers and granting stipends to jailed terrorists.Bennett pointed out that the latest terror wave began when the negotiations with the PA were recently revived. “Last year there were no diplomatic negotiations,” he said, “and it was the quietest year in the last 35 years.”Likud-Beytenu MK Tzahi Hanegbi responded by accusing Bennett of “exaggeration.” He said that the security establishment estimates that Hamas does not want to escalate the situation and stressed that Israel maintains its readiness while continuing to make a great effort to prove its readiness to make peace.MK Binyamin Ben-Eliezer (Labor) said that the negotiations with the PA are a strategic Israeli interest and that efforts to advance them must not be eased, even as Israel deals strongly with terror organizations.MK Nisan Slomiansky (Jewish Home) said that releasing more terrorist murderers next week is “an unparalleled absurdity” and that the recent spate of terror proves this.“Day after day,” he added, “the residents of Israel face mortal danger, and the state continues to blindly submit to the demands made by the PA and the Americans.”"We must put an end to this farce," Slomiansky continued, calling for an end to prisoner releases during negotiations. "As long as the waves of terror against Israel continue, we must not release a single terrorist."

Temple Mount Activist: Only the People Can Stop Desecration

Veteran Temple Mount activist says politicians won't stop Muslim desecration of Judaism's holiest site; answer is popular re-engagement.-By Ari Soffer-First Publish: 12/25/2013, 12:02 PM-INNews

Ancient Wooden Beams lie exposed after being discarded by the Waqf-Temple Institute

A special Knesset committee which met yesterday to discuss the ongoing destruction of Jewish antiquities on the Temple Mount, saw MKs and Antiquities Authority officials debating how best to end the alarming phenomenon atop Judaism's holiest site.The destruction of Jewish artifacts by the Islamic Waqf trust is seen by many observers as part of a concerted effort to Islamize the Temple Mount, by erasing all traces of the Jewish Temples. Islamist and Palestinian Authority figures have long denied the Jewish connection to the Temple Mount and Jerusalem in general, despite the wealth of archaeology and historical documentation to the contrary. Those present at the committee called for greater political involvement by government ministers in tackling the phenomenon - including the Prime Minister itself.But speaking to Arutz Sheva, one veteran Temple Mount activist said he had little faith in the political establishment's willingness to tackle the problem, given the decades of inaction by successive Israeli governments. Instead, Rabbi Chaim Richman of the Temple Institute insisted that the Temple Mount can only be preserved through popular re-emgagement, and increased awareness on the part of ordinary Jews worldwide."The Waqf's destruction of Temple remnants is deliberate and calculated. It's not an 'accusation'," he asserted. "They've already been convicted. And as far as their organized, aggressive harassment of Jewish visitors – this, too, is a demonstrable fact, which can be observed daily."The Waqf engages in 'Temple Denial Syndrome.' They deny that there ever was a Holy Temple here – and thereby they delegitimize any Jewish claim to Jerusalem, by obliterating Jewish history in preparation for the far-reaching 'final status' of Jerusalem." Rabbi Richman also dismissed claims by police that the situation on the Temple Mount has "improved" in recent months as "utterly ridiculous", adding that the harassment of Jewish visitors was still "a daily occurrence".As part of a raft of restrictions, Jewish and other non-Muslim visitors are banned from praying at the site, and face arrest and summary bans from ascending if seen to break the rules. Religious Jews in particular are often harassed by Muslim extremists on the Mount.
"I visited the Temple Mount this morning and was mistreated and abused by members of the Waqf," he said. "Jewish visitors are discriminated against and degraded; their visits are barely tolerated... If it were reported that Jews were being treated this way in any other country, the State of Israel would protest strongly and condemn such acts of overt anti-Semitism."But simply blaming the Waqf for the discrimination of Jewish visitors and destruction of Jewish antiquities is disingenuous, says Rabbi Richman. The root cause, he insists, is a lack of education and awareness within the Jewish community, which translates into apathy and a lack of popular resistance to the current situation, and in turn facilitates the continued inaction by authorities.
The Temple Mount is Judaism's holiest site and the location of the two ancient Jewish Temples; yet centuries of anti-Semitic decrees by Christian and Muslim occupying powers banning Jews from it altogether - coupled with halakhic (Jewish legal) disputes over how to properly manage access to the site - has left the site vulnerable to abuse by political and religious extremists who oppose Jewish sovereignty in the land of Israel in any form."Generations of Jews have been raised and taught that we have no connection to the Temple Mount; that it is a Muslim site and that we Jews belong down below at the Kotel (Western Wall). This complicit Jewish 'Temple Denial Syndrome' aids and abets our own destruction," he lamented.
The only way to force action on the part of the government is through popular re-engagement, he said.
"If that which should be the holiest thing to us, is literally trashed before our eyes, and we do not react – if we can be so insensitive to the life's blood of our own heritage – then we are deserving of every ignominy which befalls us," he concluded.

Seoul (AFP) - North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un has urged the country's military to bolster its combat readiness, saying a war could break out "without any prior notice", state media reported Wednesday.

The call comes at a time of heightened tension on the Korean Peninsula following the execution of Kim's uncle and former mentor in an unusually public purge.Kim visited the Command of Large Combined Unit 526 on Christmas Eve, the North's official Korean Central News Agency said."He instructed the unit to put utmost spurs on rounding off its combat readiness... always bearing in mind that a war breaks out without any prior notice," it said.The unit is based in the North's western port city of Nampo, according to the South's Yonhap news agency.There are growing concerns over the regime's stability after the execution of Jang Song-Thaek, a senior leader who was also the uncle and former political mentor of the younger leader.
Seoul and Washington have warned of possible provocative acts by the nuclear-armed North following the purge.South Korean President Park Geun-Hye called for "watertight security readiness" during her trip Tuesday to a frontline guard post, describing the situation over the border as "ominous"."We should react sternly and mercilessly to any provocations by North Korea," she said.In recent days the reclusive state's propaganda mill has gone into overdrive describing Jang as a traitor while extolling Kim's leadership.

Tens of thousands of troops pledged loyalty to him in a mass rally on the death anniversary of his father last Tuesday.The Kim dynasty has ruled the impoverished but nuclear-armed state since 1948 with an iron fist and pervasive personality cult.

26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear,(TORNADOES,HURRICANES,STORMS) and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth:(DESTRUCTION) for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.(FROM QUAKES,NUKES ETC)

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.

Ice storm means dark Christmas for thousands of Canadians

Toronto Hydro says 70,000 still without power in the city alone Wednesday morning

CBC News Posted: Dec 24, 2013 6:10 AM ET Last Updated: Dec 25, 2013 7:56 AM ET

Updated

• About 70,000 Toronto customers without power. Some could be in the dark until the weekend.
• About 39,000 without power in southern Ontario.
• Around 15,000 without power in Quebec's Eastern Townships.
• More than 45,000 without power in N.B; 3,300 in N.S.

Thousands of Canadians are awakening to a dark Christmas, days after a brutal storm that hit southern Ontario and Quebec and is pounding the Maritimes.In southern Ontario, close to 150,000 customers remained without power as late as Tuesday morning. Early Christmas morning, Toronto Hydro reported about 70,000 people were still without power, compared to 300,000 at the height of the outage."We've restored all critical customers (TTC, water services etc), and crews continue to repair priority feeders, which will restore the largest groups of customers at one time," Toronto Hydro said in a Christmas morning release. "Crews will then respond to more localized outages, which affect streets or individual homes." On Tuesday, Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne reacted to criticism that power wasn't being restored quickly enough by saying: "So far the progress we're seeing in affected communities is very encouraging," "We're three days into this and tens of thousands of people who didn't have power — hundreds of thousands of people who didn't have power  — have power now and the progress has been remarkable."Many customers, however, could be without electricity until the weekend, and Toronto Hydro CEO Anthony Haines said the situation could get worse."I can honestly say I've never paid so much attention to the weather forecast before in my life until I did this week," he said Tuesday morning."We're expecting 30 km/h winds today, and so it continues to be one of my big concerns that if we see another weather event with trees that continue to be laden with ice and snow, that we'll get additional damage."Hydro One said late Tuesday afternoon about 39,000 of its customers outside of Toronto remain in the dark. Earlier Tuesday morning the number was around 60,000.
"Right now we're really watching the weather," CEO Carmine Marcello said. "The wind is picking up and we've noticed that that number creeps up and comes back down, so as it stands now we're making great progress … but it is a long, icy road ahead of us."The utility put out a call on Twitter asking anyone who runs a restaurant that will be open on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day to contact them as the crews working to restore power need food.

'Tonight it will be cold'

The power outages combined with the sharp drop in temperatures have left some residents resorting to dangerous measures to stave off the cold.Two people were killed in Newcastle, Ont., after it's believed carbon monoxide seeped into their home from a gas generator running in the garage. Police say the generator was being used to help heat the house."Do not heat your home with devices that are designed for outdoor use, particularly barbecues or outdoor generators," Wynne said."I know that people are trying to stay warm but please be careful and do not put yourselves at risk."Wynne urged residents with wired smoke alarms and CO detectors to ensure they have battery backups in case of a power outage.Emergency crews in the Toronto area have responded to more than 100 calls because of carbon monoxide exposure."Temperatures should warm up starting tomorrow, which will make it a little easier," Toronto Mayor Rob Ford said at a media briefing Tuesday morning."But unfortunately tonight it will be cold. Please help seniors and people with disabilities."The City of Toronto is running a number of warming centres where residents can seek shelter, food or rest.In Quebec, about 20,000 customers remained without power on Tuesday, largely in the province's Eastern Townships, as technicians worked to fix power lines and other equipment damaged by the storm.

Light snow in the forecast

Special weather statements are in place in much of southern Ontario as temperatures drop.Temperatures are expected to remain well below freezing until Christmas Day and won't move closer to the freezing mark until the weekend."To those who are still without power due to continued challenges in getting the hydro lines up and running, it is advised to seek warm shelter and prepare for the colder than average temperatures that are expected," Environment Canada advised."Furthermore, given the well below freezing temperatures, much of the ice will not melt and will likely remain on many surfaces through Christmas and Boxing Day until the end of the week."The Greater Toronto Area bore the brunt of the storm on Sunday with between 10 and 30 millimetres of ice accumulation bringing down tree limbs and power lines.

Storm hits Atlantic Canada

Meanwhile, an icy mix of rain and freezing rain that hit Atlantic Canada on Monday played havoc with the electricity grid and hampered travel plans.N.B. Power said more than 45,000 customers were without power in southern New Brunswick today.The CBC's Catherine Harrop said from Fredericton Tuesday morning that N.B. Power was facing a tough job."N.B. Power is saying they're really struggling because, of course, the crews have to work on ice and they're working with those who can take down tree limbs at the same time as the linemen are working on the power lines. So it's a pretty tricky situation."In Nova Scotia, NS Power said the number of people without power dropped to about 3,300 by this afternoon."[The Maritimes are] still dealing with the remnants of the storm which has given a few days' worth of snow, freezing rain and drizzle in some locals," Kennedy said."Tomorrow another system skirts by and Nova Scotia may pick up another two to four centimetres of snow with a light dusting possible in southern New Brunswick."The storm was expected to hit Newfoundland Tuesday, where residents in some areas were warned to expect as much as 25 centimetres of snow.Meanwhile, travel in the region was disrupted due to slick roads, while dozens of flights were delayed or cancelled at airports — mainly due to backlogs created by severe weather that also hit Quebec and Ontario.Passengers were stranded in airports from Toronto to St. John's. Several airlines, including Air Canada, advised passengers to check their flight status before heading to the airport. They also urged passengers to give themselves extra time in case of delays on the road.

Ice storm leaves 500K without power in US, Canada

By ALANNA DURKIN 14 hours ago-DEC 25,13-Yahoonews

AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — More than 500,000 homes and businesses were still without power Tuesday in parts of central and northeastern U.S. and into Canada after a weekend ice and snow storm rolled across the region. At least 14 people have been killed in the storm.The U.S. National Weather Service said more snow was expected to move into the Northern High Plains and Central Rockies on Tuesday before rolling into the Great Lakes and Midwest by Wednesday morning.In Canada, police said two people in Ontario are dead from carbon monoxide poisoning after using a gas generator to heat their blacked-out home northeast of Toronto.Toronto officials said 90,000 customers were still without power Tuesday. While that was down from 300,000 people at the height of the weekend outages, some were likely to be in the dark until after Christmas.The region was under a cold alert, with temperatures expected to be well below freezing Tuesday.
Some U.S. states kept emergency shelters open for people without power.The number of customers in Maine without power spiked to more than 100,000 on Tuesday, even as Central Maine Power Co. sent more than 1,000 workers to help restore power throughout the state.That was the case, too, in Michigan, where Jackson-based Consumers Energy — the state's largest utility — said it hadn't had this many outages during any Christmas week since its founding 126 years ago. Close to 17 percent of its 1.8 million electric customers lost power during the storm that hit late Saturday; roughly 157,000 remained without it Tuesday.

Christmas in mud as rain pelts Philippine disaster zone

By Cecil Morella 3 hours ago-DEC 25,13-yahoonews

Tacloban (Philippines) (AFP) - Survivors of the Philippines' deadliest typhoon spent a gloomy Christmas Day surrounded by mud Wednesday as heavy rain drove many inside their flimsy shelters, dampening efforts at holiday cheer in the deeply devout nation.Groups of children in plastic raincoats braved the incessant rain in the devastated central city of Tacloban, knocking on doors in trick-or-treat fashion and beseeching pedestrians for candies, coins and other Christmas presents.But housewife Susan Scala sat glumly under a white tarpaulin in one of Tacloban's many tent cities for those made homeless by Super Typhoon Haiyan. At a time when her family should be celebrating, all she could think of was her missing husband."Even if it's not Christmas I don't stop thinking about him," the mother of five said of her husband Oscar, a telephone utility worker believed lost at sea when giant waves whipped up by the November 8 storm swept away homes in the city's San Jose slum.Like many of the city's survivors, the miserable weather made Scala nervous. "This incessant rain is scary. It reminds me of what happened (during the typhoon)," the 53-year-old said.

Haiyan left more than 6,100 people dead and nearly 2,000 others missing, many of them from Tacloban and nearby towns, in the storm-prone country's deadliest typhoon disaster.About 4.4 million others were left homeless across the central islands and now live in tents provided by aid agencies or rough shacks fashioned by survivors from the wreckage of destroyed homes and fallen trees.At the city's ruined Sagkahan fish port, 67-year-old widow Emiliana Aranza pulled sweets and shortbread from jars at her makeshift store outside her shanty to give to the children who knocked on her counter."It's a sad Christmas Day. We have lost our home and the government will not allow us to rebuild here as it's too close to the shore," she told AFP.But she said sharing what was left of her possessions had an uplifting effect."There are still a lot of reasons that we should be thankful to God," Aranza said, including the fact that her two adult children and their 13 sons and daughters, who now have to live together in the cramped shanty, survived the disaster."Because of the typhoon, members of my family are now tightly knit. Gone are the petty quarrels," she added.Scala said her family ate a traditional midnight meal on Christmas Eve in keeping with tradition in the largely Catholic nation. But they had to make do with tinned sardines and steamed rice, part of the weekly aid rations from the government and humanitarian agencies.For breakfast on Christmas Day, she said her family ate the previous night's leftovers and would have to make do with instant noodles for lunch.She has no idea where she will get the money to build a new house or whether she will be able to send her two school-age children back to school.The Papal Nuncio to the Philippines, Archbishop Giuseppe Pinto, acting as a representative for Pope Francis, celebrated Christmas mass in Tacloban and urged the faithful not to lose hope."Do not despair, do not be overcome by adversity... I now reassure you once again: the church will never forget you. We will never forget you," he told worshippers.The Save the Children charity had planned to host an event with sports and art activities to cheer up about 300 children on Christmas in the storm-ravaged city of Ormoc, said programme manager Reggie Aquino.But local officials in the city 45 kilometres (28 miles) from Tacloban cancelled the event due to the rain.Instead, the charity held the event in a tent for children in the nearby town of Kananga where there was just heavy drizzle.In central Tacloban, Maria Meneses, 31, dived into a pile of garbage outside a department store, along with half a dozen or so other residents left impoverished by Haiyan."This is for my daughter," she said, showing a salvaged pack of two tiny candy-coloured cake candles that she had spirited into her pink handbag."I was waiting for the store to open to buy batteries for my daughter's walkie-talkie toy and told myself, 'Why not, some of those items thrown in among the trash are still in good condition'."
