Christian Suspended From University For Challenging Muslim Hate Speech
MARCH 28, 2017
Apparently, one University in Florida doesn’t tolerate any opposing views to Islam. According to a report coming out of the state, One Christian found this out the hard way! The report indicates that not even a year after Radical Islamic terrorist Omar Mateen killed 49 people at Orlando’s Pulse nightclub, Rollins College officials are now reportedly punishing a Christian Conservative student who allegedly challenged a liberal Muslim professor and radicalized Muslim student during a conversation on the application of Sharia Law.
Excerpt From Central Florida Post:
Marshall Polston confirmed to the Central Florida Post that Professor Areeje Zufari, who teaches a “Muslim Humanities” course at Rollins, has made outlandish claims against him and even filed a false police report. Early on in the class, Polston said he realized the professor was harboring Anti-Christian beliefs, demonstrated by the professor’s assertion that the crucifixion of Jesus was a hoax and that his disciples did not believe he was God.

Are We Ready To Connect Brains With Computers?
MARCH 28, 2017
Technology is advancing at break-neck speed and one billionaire entrepreneur is now desiring to merge computers with human brains to help people keep up with machines. Elon Musk is pursuing this very thing! According to the report, The founder and chief executive of Tesla Inc. and Space Exploration Technologies Corp. has launched another company called Neuralink Corp. Sources reveal that Neuralink is pursuing what Mr. Musk calls “neural lace” technology, implanting tiny brain electrodes that may one day upload and download thoughts.
Excerpt From the Wallstreet Journal:
Mr. Musk has taken an active role setting up the California-based company and may play a significant leadership role, according to people briefed on Neuralink’s plans, a bold step for a father of five who already runs two technologically complex businesses. Mr. Musk didn’t respond to a request for comment. Max Hodak, who said he is a “member of the founding team,” confirmed the company’s existence and Mr. Musk’s involvement. He described the company as “embryonic” and said plans are still in flux but declined to provide additional details.

Islamic Militant Saved By Jesus now leads Prayer meetings in Turkey!
MARCH 27, 2017
How does a Muslim go from the front lines of a Syrian civil war and fighting for an Islamic militant group to leading a Christian prayer meeting in an apartment in Turkey? It’s the saving power of the Gospel! According to a report from CBN News, Bashir Mohammed is that very man! According to Bashir’s wife and neighbors, In just 4 years time he went from being filled with anger and ready to kill for his faith to a man of peace who seeks to help other Muslim converts to Christianity grow in their faith.

“Frankly, I would have slaughtered anyone who suggested it,” he told a reporter for the Times of India. It was a long journey that included growing dissatisfaction with the “holy war” in Syria. As a fighter for al Nusra, a splinter group of al-Qaeda, he saw death on the battlefield and the mass executions and torture of prisoners. One day, peering through binoculars at Syrian government soldiers executing their prisoners, he realized there was no difference between him and the enemy.

PROPHECY WATCH: Did Putin Just threaten Israel with a ‘”Red-line”?
Putin’s red line in Syria is not an invitation for Israel to play Russian roulette with Assad
MARCH 27, 2017
There is an interesting article coming out of Russia this morning that really leaped out at me that I believe is definitely worth sharing. Are Putin and Russia warning Israel of future consequences regarding heir stance with Syria? Is this yet another small warning of the future “Prophetic Wars” that are yet to come that will directly involve Israel, Syria and Russia. The following is an excerpt from RT News:
What is Israel’s real role in the war in Syria? Can we really believe that it doesn’t want to get involved in the conflict? And how much longer can Israel be Washington’s strong arm in the region while sustaining good relations with Russia? A minor incident took place last week in Syria which few in Washington and London even noticed, but which drew the attention of geopolitical nerds who observe the daily developments in Damascus. Israel conducted an air attack on what it claims was a movement of Hezbollah missiles. In itself, it was hardly remarkable and has happened in the past. In fact, Israel’s attacks have generally been on Hezbollah commanders or the transportation of ordinance. What made this attack remarkable was the response of Syrian President Bashar Assad.
Not only did he launch a ballistic missile into Israel, but quickly stated to the media that no more such attacks would be tolerated. The last time, in fact, that Assad issued such stern warnings to Israel was over the Golan Heights in 2013, when he threatened the Israelis with the use of Russian weapons. But now the threat is wider and throws into question both how far Russia will go in supporting Assad, but also to what extent Israel is prepared to risk ruining its own relations with Moscow.

US Dollar Sees lowest Drop Since November as Trump trade deflates
MARCH 27, 2017
Looks like “Happy Days” are over for now as the US dollar has just reportedly slid to a four-month low against a slew of currencies on Monday as investors are weighing the prospects of a U.S. fiscal spending boost under President Donald Trump after his failure to push through a key healthcare reform bill. According to the report, Trump’s inability to deliver on a major election campaign pledge has marked a big setback for a Republican president whose own party controls Congress and is raising many doubts over whether he will be able to see through tax reforms and a big spike in spending.
Excerpt From Reuters:
The dollar was down 0.5 percent on the day against the basket of other major currencies used to measure its broader strength .DXY. At 99.038 in early London trade, the index had been at its lowest since three days after Trump was elected in November, before recovering to 99.132 by 1145 GMT. “I think the market is trying to establish whether or not there is too much optimism about reflation priced into the U.S. dollar,” said Rabobank currency strategist Jane Foley, in London.

Dow plummets 150 points as global markets fall on Trump’s health-care failure
MARCH 27, 2017
Looks the recent Trump Health-Care flop has produced big ripples in Wallstreet as reports are indicating that Wall Street futures have underlined a global market sell-off on Monday as investors being concerned over the potential knock-on effects of U.S. President Donald Trump‘s surprise failure to deliver on health-care reform.
So how bad is it? Sources indicate that Dow futures were set for triple-digit losses, down around 150 points at 8:45 a.m. ET, after Republicans dramatically pulled their health-care bill on Friday. “The market’s patience is wearing thin,” Vasileios Gkionakis, head of global FX strategy at Unicredit, told CNBC on Monday. “It definitely doubts the U.S. administration’s ability to push forward (with) this so much talked and discussed agenda including the fiscal stimulus, tax deregulation, tax cuts,” Gkionakis added.

Stock-Market Fears Returns as Dow stares at longest losing streak in 6 years
MARCH 27, 2017
Looks like the stock-market jitters have returned to Wallstreet as a new report is revealing that measures of risk are rising once again. This comes as the CBOE Volatility Index VIX, +12.50% closing at its highest level of the year in Thursday trade and jumping above its 200-day moving average, now at 13.54, Friday for the first time since December of last year. Right now, the VIX, also known as what is called the “Wall Street’s fear gauge” is creeping toward the long-term average, which suggests that it could attempt a firmer breakout, in the parlance of chart watchers.

Hamas Continues Search for Killers of Senior Military Leader

Hamas continues search for killers of senior military leaderHamas fighters in the Gaza Strip (AP/Adel Hana)
As Hamas tries to find those responsible for killing one of its senior military leaders, the terror organization partially reopened its side of the Erez Crossing on the Israel-Gaza border.
Sources belonging to the Hamas terrorist organization said that efforts continue in attempting to close in on those responsible for the killing in Gaza City on Friday night of senior Hamas military leader Mazen Fukaha.
Fukaha led the armed wing of Hamas, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades. Although the investigation into his murder is ongoing, Hamas is still placing the blame on Israel. As such, Hamas sources said, according to Israel Radio, that the terror organization is preparing to respond not by rocket fire, but rather by “other modes of operation, including in the West Bank and elsewhere.”
Moreover, Hamas is also making security arrangements to add extra protection to other senior leaders of the terrorist organization.
Sources in Gaza said that Hamas has stepped up its patrols along the border with Israel as well as along the shore in order to prevent anyone involved in the killing from escaping.

Report: Israel tried recruiting double agents in France(Shutterstock)
Did the Mossad try to recruit French spies?
The Mossad, Israel’s national intelligence agency, tried to infiltrate the French espionage agency and recruit double agents. France’s Le Monde reported.
In a three-part series, the paper published details of an internal report by France’s DGSE domestic spy agency alleging that agents from both countries, working on a joint operation to collect intelligence on Syria’s weapons of mass destruction, developed unauthorized and inappropriate relationships.
According to the report, throughout the operation the Israeli agents took advantage of the close rapport with their French counterparts to try recruiting them, using money and expensive gifts.
When the unauthorized exchanges were discovered by the French domestic intelligence agency, senior officials filed a complaint with the Mossad. Several senior Israeli agents and officials were forced to leave France.
The operation itself was reportedly successful and led to action against the Assad regime.

Arab-Israeli Indicted for Ties to ISIS

Arab-Israeli indicted for ties to ISISArab-Israeli Fadel Tzaber Knaneh was arrested for ties to ISIS. (Shin Bet)
An Arab-Israeli charged with transmitting money to ISIS had lost a brother who was killed fighting alongside the Islamic terror group.
The State Attorney’s office in Israel’s Northern District filed an indictment on Monday against Arab-Israeli Fadel Tzaber Knaneh, a 25-year-old resident of Nazareth, for providing financial support to ISIS (Islamic State).
Knaneh was arrested in a joint operation between Israel’s Security Agency (Shin Bet) and Israeli Police on March 2 after information had surfaced showing ties between him and several members of ISIS.
“The ISA (Israel Security Agency/Shin Bet) views with utmost gravity contacts between Israeli citizens and terrorist elements and believes that they severely threaten the security of the State of Israel and the peace of its citizens,” the Shin Bet said in a statement.
“Transferring funds to terrorists abroad abets the perpetration of attacks,” the statement continued. ‘Therefore, the ISA will continue to use all means at its disposal to counter this threat and deal with those involved to the fullest extent of the law.”

Abbas: Palestinians Are Descendants of the Canaanites
Another Abbas Lie: Palestinians are the Descendants of the Canaanites
The Palestinian Myth
Abbas is again promoting the great lie that the so-called Palestinians are the indigenous people of the Land of Israel, this time claiming they are the descendants of the ancient Canaanites.
Palestinian Authority (PA) head Mahmoud Abbas continued to propagate the Palestinian lie negating Jewish history by claiming that the Palestinians are the indigenous people of Israel and the descendants of the Canaanites.
Abbas was on a three-day trip to Germany to add diplomatic pressure on Israel. Addressing the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, he spoke about his alleged pursuit of peace.
Abbas also declared that “the nation of Palestine, throughout its long history, has been a beacon of generosity, and our people are an extension of the 3,500-year-old Canaanite civilization, with urban communities thousands of years old.”
Abbas was further circulating the lie that the Palestinians constitute a nation that existed for thousands of years.
The irony is that the so-called Palestinians have yet to decide just how old they are. Abbas put their age at 3,500 years. However, other Palestinian leaders provide broadly differing opinions on this crucial issue; some go back as far as 15,000 years.
More important, besides trying to create their own national identity and history, the Palestinians are attempting to negate the age-old Jewish ties to Israel and particularly Jerusalem, a practice previously adopted by anti-Israel elements that has ultimately failed.
What is the Reality?
To this end, they disregard history, archaeology and, indeed, reality. A quick read of any credible history book, a short visit to any serious museum or a swift stopover at any archaeological site in Israel would quickly dispel the great national Palestinian lie.
Archaeologists have yet to uncover any findings dating from the “Palestinian” era, although there is an abundance of archaeological findings corroborating Jewish history, unearthed almost on a weekly basis.
The Palestinians have also attempted to distort Christian history by claiming that Jesus was a Palestinian, when in fact he was a Jewish rabbi.
The Palestinians are a group of families or tribes with no common historic or ethnic background, but they have perpetuated a myth that has taken on a life of its own and provided them with world recognition and legitimacy in their war against Israel.
But not everyone is buying their story.
“It is completely clear the Temple that the Romans destroyed in Jerusalem was a Jewish temple,” UN Secretary-General António Guterres said in a radio interview, referring to a recent Palestinian claim that the Jewish people have no historic ties to Jerusalem.

Israeli Students Unearth 2000-year-old Jewish Town
March 27, 2017

Israeli high school students helped uncover a 2000-year-old town dating back to the Second Temple period.
Israeli 11th-graders from a Jerusalem high school recently helped uncover a 2000-year-old town with an impressive array of ritual baths and underground systems used by rebels during the Bar Kokhba Revolt.
The 240 students were working in an original and rewarding way to reduce travel costs for a heritage trip to Poland. They spent an entire week on archaeological excavations in Ramat Beit Shemesh, far from their computers and air-conditioned classrooms.
In recent months, they discovered the remains of a Jewish town dating to the Second Temple period.
As in many other instances in Israel, the findings were chanced upon while conducting excavations prior to the building of a new residential neighborhood.
The town, whose ancient name is unknown, has so far yielded eight ritual baths, cisterns and hiding refuges, along with rock-hewn industrial installations. The houses themselves have not survived and their stones were taken to construct buildings in later periods.
“The town’s extraordinary significance lies in its imposing array of private ritual baths, which were incorporated in the residential buildings,” Sarah Hirshberg, Shua Kisilevitz and Sarah Levevi-Eilat, excavation directors on behalf of the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA), explained in a statement. “Each household had its own ritual bath and a cistern. Some of the baths uncovered are simple and others are more complex and include an Otzar, or collecting basin, into which the rainwater would drain. It is interesting to note that the local inhabitants adhered strictly to the rules regarding [ritual] purity and impurity.”
Underneath the dwellings and rock-hewn installations, another surprising discovery was unearthed, dating back to the Bar Kokhba Revolt against the Romans (130-135 CE)—a winding labyrinth of hiding refuges connected to sophisticated and elaborate complexes.
In some of the underground complexes, the rebels breached a cistern to provide those in hiding with access to water. One of the caves also yielded complete ceramic jars and cooking pots that were probably used by the rebels. The finds show that the town continued to exist even after the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in 70 CE.
Connecting the Past, Present and Future
“This unique project, which connects the country’s past and Israel’s heritage with Holocaust studies and the journey to Poland, provides students with an educational experience in which they are exploring and investigating,” said Dafna Menashe Baruch, principal of Boyer High School, which these students attend.
She said that by stepping outside the classroom and working in the field on an archaeological dig, students are exposed to many different worlds of knowledge, a “valuable educational program that connects the past with the present”.
“It’s fantastic that we, Israeli students in the 21st century, are getting the opportunity to find out about the country and are unearthing a Jewish settlement from 2000 years ago with our own hands,” said student Shelly Kozlovich. “With the money we’re making, we’ll pay for our trip to Poland and learn there about the Holocaust – an event that had a huge influence on Israel’s establishment. It’s a great way of closing a circle.”
The IAA intends to preserve the site and develop an archaeological park in the heart of the new neighborhood.

Dow plummets 150 points as global markets fall on Trump’s health-care failure
MARCH 27, 2017
Looks the recent Trump Health-Care flop has produced big ripples in Wallstreet as reports are indicating that Wall Street futures have underlined a global market sell-off on Monday as investors being concerned over the potential knock-on effects of U.S. President Donald Trump‘s surprise failure to deliver on health-care reform.
So how bad is it? Sources indicate that Dow futures were set for triple-digit losses, down around 150 points at 8:45 a.m. ET, after Republicans dramatically pulled their health-care bill on Friday. “The market’s patience is wearing thin,” Vasileios Gkionakis, head of global FX strategy at Unicredit, told CNBC on Monday. “It definitely doubts the U.S. administration’s ability to push forward (with) this so much talked and discussed agenda including the fiscal stimulus, tax deregulation, tax cuts,” Gkionakis added.

Stock-Market Fears Returns as Dow stares at longest losing streak in 6 years
MARCH 27, 2017
Looks like the stock-market jitters have returned to Wallstreet as a new report is revealing that measures of risk are rising once again. This comes as the CBOE Volatility Index VIX, +12.50% closing at its highest level of the year in Thursday trade and jumping above its 200-day moving average, now at 13.54, Friday for the first time since December of last year. Right now, the VIX, also known as what is called the “Wall Street’s fear gauge” is creeping toward the long-term average, which suggests that it could attempt a firmer breakout, in the parlance of chart watchers.

Netanyahu thanked Trump for his “strong support of Israel” during his address to AIPAC on Monday.
Addressing the 2017 American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) annual conference in Washington on Monday via satellite, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed his firm conviction that in the Trump era, the United States and Israel will team up to rein in Iranian aggression.
“I am confident that the US and Israel will stand together shoulder to shoulder to ensure that light triumphs over darkness and hope triumphs over despair,” said Netanyahu. “That means preventing Iran from ever developing nuclear weapons.”
“Our partnership means also confronting Iran’s aggression in the region and its terrorism around the world,” Netanyahu added.
Netanyahu has expressed outrage over Iran’s recent acts of aggression, including ballistic missile tests. US President Donald Trump, meanwhile, placed “Iran on notice.”
“As you know, I had an exceptionally warm meeting with President Trump last month,” remarked Netanyahu. “I want to thank the president for his strong support of Israel.”

Hamas Continues Search for Killers of Senior Military Leader

As Hamas tries to find those responsible for killing one of its senior military leaders, the terror organization partially reopened its side of the Erez Crossing on the Israel-Gaza border.
Sources belonging to the Hamas terrorist organization said that efforts continue in attempting to close in on those responsible for the killing in Gaza City on Friday night of senior Hamas military leader Mazen Fukaha.
Fukaha led the armed wing of Hamas, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades. Although the investigation into his murder is ongoing, Hamas is still placing the blame on Israel. As such, Hamas sources said, according to Israel Radio, that the terror organization is preparing to respond not by rocket fire, but rather by “other modes of operation, including in the West Bank and elsewhere.”
Moreover, Hamas is also making security arrangements to add extra protection to other senior leaders of the terrorist organization.
Sources in Gaza said that Hamas has stepped up its patrols along the border with Israel as well as along the shore in order to prevent anyone involved in the killing from escaping.

Report: Israel tried recruiting double agents in France(Shutterstock)
Did the Mossad try to recruit French spies?
The Mossad, Israel’s national intelligence agency, tried to infiltrate the French espionage agency and recruit double agents. France’s Le Monde reported.
In a three-part series, the paper published details of an internal report by France’s DGSE domestic spy agency alleging that agents from both countries, working on a joint operation to collect intelligence on Syria’s weapons of mass destruction, developed unauthorized and inappropriate relationships.
According to the report, throughout the operation the Israeli agents took advantage of the close rapport with their French counterparts to try recruiting them, using money and expensive gifts.
When the unauthorized exchanges were discovered by the French domestic intelligence agency, senior officials filed a complaint with the Mossad. Several senior Israeli agents and officials were forced to leave France.
The operation itself was reportedly successful and led to action against the Assad regime.

An Arab-Israeli charged with transmitting money to ISIS had lost a brother who was killed fighting alongside the Islamic terror group.
The State Attorney’s office in Israel’s Northern District filed an indictment on Monday against Arab-Israeli Fadel Tzaber Knaneh, a 25-year-old resident of Nazareth, for providing financial support to ISIS (Islamic State).
Knaneh was arrested in a joint operation between Israel’s Security Agency (Shin Bet) and Israeli Police on March 2 after information had surfaced showing ties between him and several members of ISIS.
“The ISA (Israel Security Agency/Shin Bet) views with utmost gravity contacts between Israeli citizens and terrorist elements and believes that they severely threaten the security of the State of Israel and the peace of its citizens,” the Shin Bet said in a statement.
“Transferring funds to terrorists abroad abets the perpetration of attacks,” the statement continued. ‘Therefore, the ISA will continue to use all means at its disposal to counter this threat and deal with those involved to the fullest extent of the law.”

Abbas: Palestinians Are Descendants of the Canaanites
Another Abbas Lie: Palestinians are the Descendants of the Canaanites
The Palestinian Myth
Abbas is again promoting the great lie that the so-called Palestinians are the indigenous people of the Land of Israel, this time claiming they are the descendants of the ancient Canaanites.
Palestinian Authority (PA) head Mahmoud Abbas continued to propagate the Palestinian lie negating Jewish history by claiming that the Palestinians are the indigenous people of Israel and the descendants of the Canaanites.
Abbas was on a three-day trip to Germany to add diplomatic pressure on Israel. Addressing the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, he spoke about his alleged pursuit of peace.
Abbas also declared that “the nation of Palestine, throughout its long history, has been a beacon of generosity, and our people are an extension of the 3,500-year-old Canaanite civilization, with urban communities thousands of years old.”
Abbas was further circulating the lie that the Palestinians constitute a nation that existed for thousands of years.
The irony is that the so-called Palestinians have yet to decide just how old they are. Abbas put their age at 3,500 years. However, other Palestinian leaders provide broadly differing opinions on this crucial issue; some go back as far as 15,000 years.
More important, besides trying to create their own national identity and history, the Palestinians are attempting to negate the age-old Jewish ties to Israel and particularly Jerusalem, a practice previously adopted by anti-Israel elements that has ultimately failed.
What is the Reality?
To this end, they disregard history, archaeology and, indeed, reality. A quick read of any credible history book, a short visit to any serious museum or a swift stopover at any archaeological site in Israel would quickly dispel the great national Palestinian lie.
Archaeologists have yet to uncover any findings dating from the “Palestinian” era, although there is an abundance of archaeological findings corroborating Jewish history, unearthed almost on a weekly basis.
The Palestinians have also attempted to distort Christian history by claiming that Jesus was a Palestinian, when in fact he was a Jewish rabbi.
The Palestinians are a group of families or tribes with no common historic or ethnic background, but they have perpetuated a myth that has taken on a life of its own and provided them with world recognition and legitimacy in their war against Israel.
But not everyone is buying their story.
“It is completely clear the Temple that the Romans destroyed in Jerusalem was a Jewish temple,” UN Secretary-General António Guterres said in a radio interview, referring to a recent Palestinian claim that the Jewish people have no historic ties to Jerusalem.

Israeli Students Unearth 2000-year-old Jewish Town
March 27, 2017

Israeli high school students helped uncover a 2000-year-old town dating back to the Second Temple period.
Israeli 11th-graders from a Jerusalem high school recently helped uncover a 2000-year-old town with an impressive array of ritual baths and underground systems used by rebels during the Bar Kokhba Revolt.
The 240 students were working in an original and rewarding way to reduce travel costs for a heritage trip to Poland. They spent an entire week on archaeological excavations in Ramat Beit Shemesh, far from their computers and air-conditioned classrooms.
In recent months, they discovered the remains of a Jewish town dating to the Second Temple period.
As in many other instances in Israel, the findings were chanced upon while conducting excavations prior to the building of a new residential neighborhood.
The town, whose ancient name is unknown, has so far yielded eight ritual baths, cisterns and hiding refuges, along with rock-hewn industrial installations. The houses themselves have not survived and their stones were taken to construct buildings in later periods.
“The town’s extraordinary significance lies in its imposing array of private ritual baths, which were incorporated in the residential buildings,” Sarah Hirshberg, Shua Kisilevitz and Sarah Levevi-Eilat, excavation directors on behalf of the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA), explained in a statement. “Each household had its own ritual bath and a cistern. Some of the baths uncovered are simple and others are more complex and include an Otzar, or collecting basin, into which the rainwater would drain. It is interesting to note that the local inhabitants adhered strictly to the rules regarding [ritual] purity and impurity.”
Underneath the dwellings and rock-hewn installations, another surprising discovery was unearthed, dating back to the Bar Kokhba Revolt against the Romans (130-135 CE)—a winding labyrinth of hiding refuges connected to sophisticated and elaborate complexes.
In some of the underground complexes, the rebels breached a cistern to provide those in hiding with access to water. One of the caves also yielded complete ceramic jars and cooking pots that were probably used by the rebels. The finds show that the town continued to exist even after the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in 70 CE.
Connecting the Past, Present and Future
“This unique project, which connects the country’s past and Israel’s heritage with Holocaust studies and the journey to Poland, provides students with an educational experience in which they are exploring and investigating,” said Dafna Menashe Baruch, principal of Boyer High School, which these students attend.
She said that by stepping outside the classroom and working in the field on an archaeological dig, students are exposed to many different worlds of knowledge, a “valuable educational program that connects the past with the present”.
“It’s fantastic that we, Israeli students in the 21st century, are getting the opportunity to find out about the country and are unearthing a Jewish settlement from 2000 years ago with our own hands,” said student Shelly Kozlovich. “With the money we’re making, we’ll pay for our trip to Poland and learn there about the Holocaust – an event that had a huge influence on Israel’s establishment. It’s a great way of closing a circle.”
The IAA intends to preserve the site and develop an archaeological park in the heart of the new neighborhood.

Israeli Ambassador: No Daylight Between US & Israel

Israel’s US ambassador: No daylight between US & IsraelRon Dermer addressing 2017 AIPAC conference. (YouTube Screenshot)
Israel’s Ambassador to the US told AIPAC there is a “meeting of the minds” between the governments of Netanyahu and Trump.
Israel’s ambassador to the United States Ron Dermer celebrated “the first time in many years, perhaps even many decades, that there is no daylight” between the US and Israel, while addressing the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) annual conference on Sunday in Washington.
Dermer referred to commonly perceived threats to demonstrate the absence of daylight.
“During the visit of Prime Minister Netanyahu to Washington last month, it was clear there was a meeting of the minds between our two governments on the great strategic challenges facing us and that has made me even more confident our alliance will get considerably stronger in the years ahead,” Dermer said.
“Both our governments recognize that foremost among those challenges remains Iran,” he noted. “We both recognize the nuclear deal does not block Iran’s path to a bomb and that Iran’s appetite for aggression and terror has only grown since that deal was signed and since sanctions were removed.”

Israel Defies UN Call to Stop Building in Judea and Samaria
The UN denounced Israel for its plans to build in Judea and Samaria, but did not mention Palestinian terrorism.
The United Nations (UN) slammed Israel because it took no steps to comply with a Security Council (UNSC) call to stop all construction in Judea and Samaria and Jerusalem, and instead authorized “a high rate” of construction, allegedly in violation of international law.
UN envoy Nickolay Mladenov told the council on Friday the several announcements on Israeli construction and legislation action by Israel indicate “a clear intent to continue expanding the settlement enterprise in the occupied Palestinian territory.”
He was delivering the first report to the council on implementation of the resolution it adopted in December condemning Israeli settlements as a “flagrant violation” of international law.
The resolution was a striking rupture with past US practice by President Barack Obama, who had the US abstain rather than veto the measure.
Leaders and officials worldwide have since condemned the resolution and Obama for his collusion with the Palestinians.
The resolution didn’t impose sanctions on Israel, so the council isn’t called on to take action.
Mladenov, the UN special coordinator for the Middle East peace process, reiterated the United Nations “considers all settlement activities to be illegal under international law and one of the main obstacles to peace.”

Hamas has vowed to retaliate against the Jewish state for the alleged assassination.

Syria’s government reportedly transmitted a message to Israel through Russian mediators that it would strike Israel with Scud missiles if the Jewish state “strikes Syria one more time.”
Syria transmitted a message indirectly to Israel threatening to fire Scud missiles against the Jewish state if the IDF continues to strike targets within Syrian territory, according to a report on Saturday in the Lebanese outlet Al-Diyar.
“Syria could retaliate against Israel by firing Scud missiles should the latter strike Syria one more time,” the message said.
The Scud missiles would supposedly carry about half a ton of explosives and would be fired without warning. The report claims Syria has at least 800 Scud missiles.
The message adds if Israel conducts another operation within Syria, the Syrian army will immediately target Haifa’s port and petrochemical plant.

Bipartisan US Bill Seeks to Combat BDS Supporters
Congress introduced further legislation to combat BDS and show US support for the Jewish State.
Senators Rob Portman (R-OH), Ben Cardin (D-MD) and Representatives Peter Roskam (R-IL) and Juan Vargas (D-CA) announced Thursday the introduction of the Israel Anti-Boycott Act legislation to further combat the anti-Israel boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement. Over the past several years, a growing number of countries have sought to isolate and delegitimize Israel through BDS actions.
Last year, the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) targeted Israel with a commercial boycott, calling for the creation of a database—akin to a blacklist—of companies that operate in or have business relationships beyond Israel’s 1949 Armistice Lines, including Jerusalem.
The US State Department expressed opposition following the UNHRC resolution’s adoption in March 2016.

IDF forces surrounding the Gaza Strip are on high alert amid expectations of a possible Hamas retaliation for the assassination of one of its top military leaders in Gaza on Friday night.
Mazen Fuqaha, 38, a member of Hamas’ Al Qassam Brigades, oversaw the terrorist group’s efforts to instigate attacks on Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria.
In what appears to be a professional hit job, Fuqaha was shot four times in the head near his home, situated near the beach in Gaza City, reportedly with a handgun equipped with a silencer.
Israel has not claimed responsibility for the killing, which may also have been done by Palestinian rivals.
“This assassination has the clear marks of Mossad,” stated Hamas attorney general Ismail Jaber.

UK Puts Human Rights Council ‘On Notice’ Over Its Anti-Israel Bias
The UK is threatening the UNHRC over its actions against Israel, joining the US in standing with the Jewish State.
British officials put the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) “on notice” Friday after it passed a series of resolutions singling out Israel for its policies towards the Palestinians, while ignoring other countries’ true human rights violations.
“Today we are putting the Human Rights Council on notice,” UK Ambassador Julian Braithwaite stated during the closing moments of its latest session.
The group approved four resolutions condemning Israeli policies vis-à-vis the Palestinians and called on the Jewish state to return the Golan Heights to Syria.
“If things do not change, in the future we will adopt a policy of voting against all resolutions concerning Israel’s conduct,” Braithwaite said.
The UK’s statement comes three days after the terror attack in London that killed four people and injured dozens. The attacks resembled the Palestinian car-ramming and stabbing attacks that have plagued Israel in recent years.
“According to the [Middle East] Quartet’s report last year, there were 250 terrorist attacks, leading to the deaths of at least 30 Israelis,” Braithwaite said. “Yet neither ‘terrorism’ nor ‘incitement’ were a focus of this week’s council discussions and resolutions. This is not acceptable.”

The United States Senate confirmed on Thursday President Donald Trump’s nominee for US ambassador to Israel, David Friedman, in a vote of 52-46 that was almost entirely along party lines.
Only two of the 48 Senators in the Senate Democratic caucus, Bob Menendez of New Jersey and Joe Manchin of West Virginia, joined 50 Republicans in voting for Friedman. Menendez was the only Senate Democrat in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to have voted to recommend Friedman to be the US ambassador to Israel.
Shortly after the vote, Israel’s Ambassador to the US Ron Dermer congratulated his new US counterpart.
“Congratulations to David Friedman!” Dermer wrote on Twitter. “Looking forward to working closely with you to make the US-Israel alliance stronger than ever.”

Israel’s Home Front Command is preparing an evacuation of an estimated one-quarter of Israel’s northern residents in the event of a third Lebanon war, according to a report in the Jerusalem Post.
“In the past we didn’t think of needing to evacuate whole communities, but now we understand that we will have to evacuate hundreds of thousands of people,” a senior IDF officer said.
“It is impossible to evacuate all one million residents, but we are working with the communities as well as emergency services to prepare those living in communities directly on the border for the possibility of a mass evacuation,” the officer added.

Revelations of “incidental” surveillance of Trump’s transition team were made as a Congressional probe is conducted into Obama’s alleged wiretapping of Trump.
The US intelligence community apparently had their eyes on members of President Trump’s transition team, according to the US House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes.
“I recently confirmed that on numerous occasions, the intelligence community collected information on US individuals involved in the Trump transition,” Nunes told reporters on Wednesday.
“Details about US persons involved in the incoming administration with little or no apparent foreign intelligence value were widely disseminated in intelligence community reports,” he added.
The new findings come after the launch of a Congressional probe into President Donald Trump’s claim that his predecessor Obama wiretapped him during the 2016 presidential campaign.

ISIS claimed responsibility for the deadly attack in London, while the UK exhibited an unyielding stance in the face of Islamic terrorism.
The Islamic State (ISIS) terror group claimed responsibility for Wednesday’s terror attack in London, in which an Islamic terrorist ran his car into pedestrians and then stabbed a policeman, killing three and wounding 40.
The ISIS-linked Amaq news agency stated that the terrorist “was a soldier of the Islamic State who carried out the operation in response to calls for targeting citizens of the coalition” of countries fighting ISIS in Syria and Iraq.
ISIS has threatened to target the UK in the past.
“It is Islamist terrorism,” stated British premier Theresa May. “It is a perversion of a great faith.”
ISIS has claimed responsibility for attacks in several European cities, including tBerlin, Brussels, Paris and Nice.
Seeking the Best Response to Terrorism
May set an unyielding tone Thursday in a sweeping statement before the House of Commons. While she honored the police, she also saluted the actions of millions of people who went about their daily routines, defying terrorism.
“As I speak millions will be boarding trains and airplanes to travel to London, and to see for themselves the greatest city on Earth,” she stated. “It is in these actions – millions of acts of normality – that we find the best response to terrorism —a response that denies our enemies their victory, that refuses to let them win, that shows we will never give in.”
Parliament began a moment of silence at 9:33 a.m., honoring murdered officer Keith Palmer, who was stabbed in the attack.
“Those who carry out such wicked and depraved acts as we saw yesterday can never triumph in our country and we must ensure it is not violence, hatred or division but decency and tolerance that prevails in our country,” Trade Secretary Liam Fox said.
“Hear, hear!” lawmakers from all parties responded in unison.
Also on Thursday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu strongly condemned the terror attack and sent his condolences to the victims.
“The citizens of Israel were among the first to face the challenge of vehicular ramming and stabbing attacks. We must stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the citizens of Britain and the entire civilized world against radical Islamic terrorism,” he stated.

British Journo: ‘London Needs Muslim Mayor Now More Than Ever’
By Pamela Geller - on March 24, 2017
UK
Translation: Now more than ever, England needs to submit and surrender.
The problem with that quisling strategy is the more you surrender, the more empowered the Islamic supremacists are. The more submission, the more jihad.
London has a devout Muslim mayor and what good did it do them? The Muslim mayor has banned bikini advertisements, strongly activated for Muslim refugees from jihad nations, and sanctioned jihad terror, urging the infidel to get used to it.
BRITISH JOURNO: ‘LONDON NEEDS MUSLIM MAYOR NOW MORE THAN EVER’
Britain is under attack, but bring on the PC police.
Trey Sanchez, TR, March 23, 2017:
The day after an Islamic terror attack claimed the lives of three people and wounded scores of others, Holly Baxter, writing for the UK’s Independent, said, “London needs a Muslim mayor now more than ever.”
She was reacting to Donald Trump, Jr.’s Twitter criticism of London Mayor Sadiq Khan for writing off terrorism as a reality to deal with living in a big city. Baxter’s political correctness meter was triggered and she dashed to her keyboard:
Call me crazy, but as soon as that popped up in my feed, I got the distinct feeling he wouldn’t be sharing it if the Mayor of London was a man called John Jones.
Baxter went after anti-Islamic activist Tommy Robinson, as well, who wrote on Twitter: “Muslims make up only 4 per cent of the UK population, look at the continued chaos and destruction they cause, what do you think it will be like with 20 per cent?”
But it was Trump’s words that really flustered her sensibilities:
What the Trumps say matters, in other words. And despite their love of proclaiming “FAKE NEWS” at other news outlets every five minutes, there’s something insidious about dredging up an article from a year earlier and sharing a quote from it out of context, when that article is an interview with the London Mayor and London is currently in the midst of a terror attack. It’s not exactly fake, but it’s not being truthful either.
However, Baxter lathered on the praise for Mayor Khan: “He is a formidable politician, one who became mayor after being subjected to a shameful ‘dog whistle’ campaign that was even denounced by the sister of his opponent, Zac Goldsmith. The fact that his star has continued to rise despite many cynically attempting to ramp up Islamophobic sentiment against him is testament to his dignity in the face of malicious provocation and the progressive values of Londoners.”
According to Baxter, “London needs a Muslim mayor now more than ever” because having a Muslim in a high position of government “destroys” the narrative that Islam is at war with the West. But note this: It’s interesting how Baxter phrased this; she reversed the order: “the West is at war with Islam.” That shows you just how much she knows, or doesn’t, about world events. If the West is at war with Islam, it’s only because they fired the first shot.
But it’s Baxter’s conclusion that really goes off the rails:
The trouble with ranting and raving against Muslims isn’t just the fact that it’s deplorable racism which should concern anyone with a moral conscience, but that it definitely doesn’t protect the West from future acts of terrorism. It is certain to make everything worse.
Parade yourself in public while proclaiming that Islam is the root of all evil if you must, but at least have the common decency to admit it’s all a far-right careerist exercise rather than anything to do with “protecting the innocent”. And if you, like Donald Trump Jr, have to put in real work to make a prominent Muslim figure look like they’re fine with a bit of terrorism now and then, it should eventually dawn on you that what you’re saying doesn’t actually bear any resemblance to the truth.
The commenters on her story were not kind to her liberal, PC assessment and let her know:
“ISLAM is not a race and so campaigning against it cannot be racism. You appear not to understand anything about this. GO AND READ SOME HISTORY OF ISLAM.”
“One wants to vomit. PC comes before respect of those who were murdered. Khan’s relevance is peripheral. However, if anybody thought that having a Muslim mayor would somehow protect London that is clearly mistaken.”
“When Khan said “terrorist attacks are part and parcel of living in a big city” he conveniently left out “a big city that has a significant Muslim population”
“Because despite your hysteria over some phantom ‘far right’, it’s Muslims carrying out attacks DAILY across Europe.”

US Boycotts UN Anti-Israel Debate, Demands Reforms
The US stood with the Jewish state against the UN Human Rights Commission’s anti-Israel bias and demanded reforms.
The US expressed “strong and unequivocal” opposition to the United Nations Human Rights Council’s (UNHRC) anti-Israel Item Seven General Debate and boycotted a session on the issue on Monday.
Agenda Item Seven, “Human rights situation in Palestine and other occupied Arab territories,” is a permanent UNHRC agenda item that mandates discussion on any alleged Israeli human rights abuses against Palestinians. It is debated three times a year.
For the last four years, Israel has asked countries to boycott the debate on the agenda item. In the past, some Western states have participated in the debate, including a few European nations. The US has always boycotted the Agenda Item Seven debate.
“Today’s actions in the Council are yet another reminder of that body’s longstanding bias against Israel,” the State Department said in a statement. “No other nation has an entire agenda item dedicated to it at the Council. The continued existence of this agenda item is among the largest threats to the credibility of the Council.”
The US was expressing its “deeply-held conviction” that the bias against Israel “must be addressed in order for the Council to realize its legitimate purpose.”
“It does not serve the interests of the Council to single out one country in an unbalanced matter, the statement added.
As a further sanction, the US will vote against every resolution put forth under this agenda item “and is encouraging other countries to do the same.”
The US is dedicated to “the pursuit of respect for international human rights by all countries in the world” and calls on all UN member states and international partners “who are committed to human rights” to help pursue “much needed reforms in the UN Human Rights Council.”
The US is reportedly considering abandoning the UNHRC over its blatant anti-Israel agenda

Shin Bet: Terror attacks will intensify ahead of Passover holiday

The head of Israel’s Security Agency warned that Palestinian terror groups will escalate attacks ahead of the holiday season.
Attempts by Palestinian terrorists to carry out attacks against Israel will intensify in the coming month, ahead of the Passover holiday, the head of the Shin Bet (Israel’s Security Agency) warned.
Addressing the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Monday, Shin Bet director Nadav Argaman said “there is no doubt” that terrorism networks, and including those commanded by Hamas, will attempt to carry out attacks ahead of the spring holiday season.
Passover and Israel’s national holidays, including Independence Day, are among the upcoming holidays.
Referring to the relative quiet in recent months, Argaman said that Israel has learned to contend with the wave of terror attacks – perpetrated mostly by individuals – through technological, operative and intelligence developments.
However, the quiet is misleading, he added, as Israel’s combined security forces have been successful in foiling over 400 terror plots. Hamas and the Islamic Jihad attempt to carry out attacks almost on a daily basis.
Relating to the regional turmoil, Argaman said that the Middle East is constantly experiencing significant geostrategic shifts, which will have implications for the coming decades. The battle among world powers for dominance in the region and the results of the nuclear deal signed with Iran will also deeply affect developments in the region, he added.
Israeli security forces are expected to bolster their presence at potential flashpoints ahead of the holiday season.

Israeli Envoy Rejects Syrian Accusations on Israeli Strike
Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon rejected his Syrian counterpart’s assertions that Israel supports terrorist groups in Syria.
“It is the peak of hypocrisy for the ambassador of a regime that massacres its own people to level such accusations at us,” Danon stated on Monday.
Syria’s ambassador to the UN, Bashar Jaafari, speaking on Syrian state TV on Sunday, said that “our battle against ISIS achieved an important triumph in Palmyra and Aleppo, and (Israel) wants to assist terrorism,” according to a translation provided by Ynet.
Jaafari made his remarks a few days after Israel struck targets in Syria in an attempt to prevent advanced weaponry from reaching the Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah. Danon added that Israel would continue to conduct such operations whenever necessary.
“Israel will continue to defend its citizens and will act against any attempt to harm them,” Danon stated.

IDF forces thwarted an attempt by Palestinian terrorists to place a bomb on the Gaza border fence.
IDF forces identified three suspicious-looking Palestinians approaching the border fence separating Israel from Gaza on Tuesday night and fired at them, killing one and wounding the other two.
According to an IDF spokesman, security identified three questionable figures by the security fence east of Rafah, in southern Gaza, and a tank fired at them.
The three-man terror cell was suspected of being in the process of placing an explosive charge that would have later detonated against IDF forces patrolling the border.
According to Palestinian sources in Gaza, the fatality was Yousuf Abu Azara, 18.
One of the injured sustained severe wounds, the Palestinian health ministry reported.
The IDF has recently exposed and dismantled similar explosive devices.
Earlier this month, Israeli soldiers disarmed two improvised explosive devices near the security fence surrounding the northern Gaza Strip.

A deadly culmination of weather events in Peru has left at least 72 reportedly dead. According to reports, The intense rains, overflowing rivers, mudslides and flooding taking place in Peru are the worst seen in at least two decades, This event is affecting more than half the nation as the death toll since the beginning of the year has risen to 72. Sources indicate that
the government has reported 374 people killed in 1998 during a similar period of massive rains and flooding caused by rains blamed on the El Nino climate pattern. The rains have reportedly overwhelmed and taken much toll on the drainage system in the cities along Peru’s Pacific coast and the health ministry has started fumigating around the pools of water that have formed in the streets to kill mosquitoes that carry diseases like dengue.
Decoding the Apocalypse With End-Times Prophecy
http://endtimeheadlines.org/2017/03/decoding-apocalypse-end-times-prophecy/
MARCH 19, 2017
(By Dave Williams) The book of Revelation—the apocalypse—is the final book of the Bible, a culmination of biblical prophecies. Its cryptic style and mysterious symbols have left many shaking their heads, dismissing the book as impossible to understand. But if that’s the case, why would the Holy Spirit have ensured that St. John recorded it?
Several times in this book, we read, “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches” (see Rev. 2:7a). God meant for us to read and understand the writings of the book of Revelation and promised a blessing for those who do (Rev. 1:3).
We are told in the first verse of Revelation that Jesus Himself sent this revelation by “His angel,” who signified these things. Signified means “made known by signs.” Many clues to properly decoding the apocalypse are found in chapter 1 of Revelation: READ MORE http://www.charismanews.com/opinion/63657-decoding-the-apocalypse-with-end-times-prophecy

This next report may leave you angry or speechless but a new report is indicating that The IRS has reportedly given fast-track approval for “After School Satan Clubs” under former President Barack Obama. Sources indicate that the federal tax agency reportedly took only 10 days to grant tax-exempt status for the Satan clubs. This shocking claim comes after Judicial Watch obtained the official records.
“The IRS fast-tracked a deranged Satanic cult to operate as a nonprofit in taxpayer-funded elementary schools,” the group states on its website. Any why would Obama do this? At this time it still unclear why the Obama administration IRS appointees gave Satan clubs such special treatment in 2014, even after they had been drilling dozens of Tea Party, conservative, and Christian organizations for years.

Pakistan Urges Facebook and Twitter to Identify Blasphemous Posts
http://endtimeheadlines.org/2017/03/pakistan-urges-facebook-twitter-identify-blasphemous-posts/
MARCH 18, 2017
As we all know now Facebook as well as other Social Media platforms are cracking down on what is deemed as “Hate Speech” or “Offensive” and now one Muslim Nation is calling on the Social Media Giants to put their foot down on “Blasphemous Content“. According to reports, Pakistan is asking Facebook and Twitter to help it identify Pakistanis suspected of blasphemy so that it can prosecute them or pursue their extradition. Sources state that, Under Pakistan’s strict blasphemy laws, any person found to have insulted Islam or the Prophet Muhammad can be sentenced to death.
The report even went on to say that the Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan stated that an official in Pakistan’s Washington embassy had approached the two social media giants in an effort to identify Pakistanis, either within the country or abroad, who recently shared material that is deemed offensive to Islam. Apparently, Facebook didn’t shoot down the proposal because the report indicated that the interior ministry stated that Facebook had agreed to send a team to Pakistan to address reservations about content on the social media site, according to the BBC.
So will this be the next step with Social Media? Are we going to begin to see people flagged and prosecuted for posting content that is deemed “Blasphemous” to Islam? Even recently in Canada, we reported how a resolution called M-103 had been introduced with the intent of seeking to condemn what is deemed “Islamophobia,”. Will these same rules apply to other religions? Will we eventually see a total ban of ALL religious content on Social Media?

Will these same rules apply to other religions? Will we eventually see a total ban of ALL religious content on Social Media?

Trump will Maintain Aid to Israel Despite Budget Cuts to Ensure Military Edge

Money allocated for military aid to Israel will be kept in Trump’s budget to ensure Israel maintains its qualitative edge over its enemies.
US military aid to Israel will be spared from cuts to the US State Department in the budget presented by US President Donald Trump that would earmark $10 billion less to the US State Department in 2018 than the current fiscal year.
“(The President’s 2018 budget) provides $3.1 billion to meet the security assistance commitment to Israel, currently at an all-time high, ensuring that Israel has the ability to defend itself from threats and maintain its qualitative military edge,” the budget reads.
Trump’s budget proposes a 28% cut in the amount allocated to the US State Department in 2017, equaling a base amount of $25.6 billion in funding for 2018.
“The Budget seeks to reduce or end direct funding for international organizations whose missions do not substantially advance US foreign policy interests, duplicate, or are not well-managed,” the budget explains. It further reads, “These steps to reduce foreign assistance free up funding for critical priorities here at home and put America first.”
Although Trump’s budget would reduce US financial contributions to international organizations to a level “appropriate to the US share of international spending,” military spending would increase by about $54 billion.

Netanyahu: Israel Working on ‘Settlement Policy’ Agreement with US
March 16, 2017

Jerusalem and Washington are working to find a formula for ‘settlement policy’ that works for both sides, Netanyahu said.
Israel is in the midst of a process of dialogue with the White House with the intent of agreeing upon key issues, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated during the weekly cabinet meeting on Thursday.
“We are in the midst of a process of dialogue with the White House and our intention is to reach an agreed-upon policy regarding settlement [Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria] construction. Agreed-upon for us, of course, not just for the American side. Naturally, this will be good for the State of Israel since we have not been in these processes for many years,” Netanyahu stated.
While President Donald Trump expressed general support for Israel’s presence in Judea and Samaria and even for construction there, he asked Netanyahu during his recent visit to Washington to curb the pace of expansion.
Netanyahu met on Monday for over five hours with Jason Greenblatt, Trump’s Special Representative for International Negotiations.
The two discussed Israeli construction in Judea and Samaria in the hope of, “working out an approach that is consistent with the goal of advancing peace and security.”

UN Outrageously Accuses Israel of Establishing ‘Apartheid Regime’
Mar 16, 2017
Yet another UN agency issues a biased and false report, this time accusing Israel of establishing an apartheid regime.
Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon condemned a report by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) that accuses Israel of establishing an “apartheid regime.”
The report, titled “Israeli Practices towards the Palestinian People and the Question of Apartheid: Palestine and the Israeli Occupation,” was produced by Princeton Professor Emeritus Richard Falk, the UN’s former Special Rapporteur for Human Rights in Palestine, and American political scientist Virginia Tilley of Southern Illinois University.
Both have a long history of anti-Israel activism. “The world is slouching towards nothing less than a Palestinian Holocaust,” Falk said in 2013.
The report “concludes, on the basis of overwhelming evidence, that Israel is guilty of the crime of apartheid, and urges swift action to oppose and end it.”
UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric, when asked about the report, said it was published without any prior consultations with the UN Secretariat and its views do not reflect those of the secretary-general.

Saudi Arabia’s ties with the United States have been restored, according to a senior adviser to Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who met with President Donald Trump on Tuesday.
“This meeting is considered a historical turning point in relations between both countries and which had passed through a period of divergence of views on many issues,” stated a senior adviser to Prince Mohammed. “The meeting today restored issues to their right path and form a big change in relations between both countries in political, military, security and economic issues.”

Jordan Refuses to Extradite Terrorist from 2001 Sbarro Bombing to US
Jordanian legal officials said the extradition of a terrorist who played a role in a suicide bombing in a Jerusalem Sbarro restaurant that killed several Americans is “not permissible” in light of her previous incarceration in Israel.
Jordan is reportedly rejecting a US request to extradite a Hamas-affiliated terrorist Ahlam Tamimi, responsible for several American deaths in a suicide bombing in 2001, during the height of the Second Intifada, according to the Jordanian newspaper Al-Ghad.
The request was made on Tuesday by the US Department of Justice after the FBI placed the terrorist, Ahlam Tamimi, on its Most Wanted Terrorists List.
Tamimi was imprisoned for her role in helping to carry out a suicide bombing at the former Sbarro pizza restaurant in downtown Jerusalem, August 9, 2001, which injured 130 and killed 15 people, including several Americans.
Tamimi was released from prison 10 years later as part of an exchange with the Hamas terrorist organization that agreed to release captured IDF soldier Gilad Shalit.

Three more Jewish community centers in the US receive bomb threats.
Jewish Community Centers (JCC) in the US were hit with another round of bomb threats on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. JCCs in St. Louis, Atlanta, and Boulder, Colorado received threats. The threats in St. Louis and Boulder came via email. All three JCCs have already received bomb threats this year.
None of the threats were credible, as was the case in all previous bomb threats.
“We must not let this threat deter us from the responsibility we have to be the safe, welcoming, inclusive, and diverse communal town square for the 55,000 people who walk through our doors each year,” Atalanta JCC CEO Jared Powers said in a letter.
The last wave of bomb threats occurred on Sunday during the Purim holiday.

Israel Shuts Down PA Agency that Tracked Land Sales to Jews
“Activity by the Palestinian cartography office is part of the Palestinian Authority’s plan to harm our sovereignty in Jerusalem,” Israel’s Public Security minister stated.
Israeli police on Tuesday raided the offices of a Palestinian cartographer who kept track of an Israeli presence in Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem. They detained him for several hours, accusing him of secretly and illegally working for the Palestinian Authority (PA) from the capital.
It is believed to be the first arrest of its kind since Israel banned the PA from carrying out official business in Jerusalem in 2001. The accused, Khalil Tufagji, said police confiscated computers and files before arresting him. He denied working for the PA, although his office is believed to be a PA agency working under the guise of a “geographic consulting firm.”

US Warns UN Human Rights Council: Either Reform, Or We Leave
The US is threatening to quit the UNHRC if it does not change its focus to defending human rights instead of bashing Israel.
The Trump administration is threatening to withdraw from the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) if it does not undertake “considerable reform,” US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson told a group of nine non-profit organizations in a letter this week.
The correspondence, obtained and reported by Foreign Policy Magazine (FP), says that while the US “continues to evaluate the effectiveness” of the UNHRC, it remains skeptical about its membership in a human rights organization that includes states with abysmal human rights records such as China, Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
“While it may be the only such organization devoted to human rights, the Human Rights Council requires considerable reform in order for us to continue to participate,” Tillerson wrote.

Leaked pages from Trump’s tax payments in 2005 show that he paid more than $36 million in taxes to the US government with an income of $153 million.
In what many expected to be a bombshell report on President Donald Trump’s tax returns, the Daily Beast and MSNBC reported on Tuesday about leaked information on his tax payments in 2005.
The details were provided by investigative journalist David Cay Johnston, who said that the first two pages from Trump’s 1040 tax form were sent to him from an unknown source. On his website, Johnston said the pages revealed that Trump paid $36.6 million in taxes to the US federal government in 2005, with an income that year of $153 million.
Of the total amount in federal taxes, some $5.3 million was paid in income tax while the remaining $31 million was paid under the alternative minimum tax (AMT), a minimum threshold tax on top earners.

Israeli Defense Minister: No Land-for-Peace Talks
Stressing the futility of land-for-peace negotiations with the PA, Liberman suggested a population swap, adding that anti-Israel Knesset members should not remain citizens of Israel.
“At the dawn of a new attempt at peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians, we must take lessons from the past, and the first lesson is that any attempt to solve the Palestinian issue based on land for peace is destined for failure. The only way to reach a sustainable agreement is through a land and population exchange as part of a larger regional deal,” Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman stated on his Facebook page Monday.
“It cannot be that a homogenous Palestinian state will be established with zero Jews and a population that is 100 percent Palestinian, while Israel would be binational, with 22% Palestinians,” he continued, in apparent reference to statements by senior Palestinian officials, including PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, that Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria could not live in “Palestine.”

Israeli Annexation Bill Delayed Until After Visit of Trump’s Adviser
Minister Bennett postponed a vote to annex Ma’ale Adumim at least until after the visit of Trump’s senior adviser, Jason Greenblatt, to Israel.
Israeli Education Minister and Chairman of the Jewish Home party Naftali Bennett reportedly agreed on Tuesday to a slight delay in presenting a bill to incorporate the Israeli city of Ma’ale Adumim, located directly east of Jerusalem, into the rest of Israel.
“We will do everything in coordination with the coalition, everything in its [proper] time,” Bennett said, according to Israel’s Channel 10.
Bennett made his remarks shortly after the bill’s sponsors, Members of Knesset Bezalel Smotrich (Jewish Home) and Yoav Kisch (Likud) reportedly rejected a request by coalition head David Bitan to postpone its presentation to the Ministerial Committee for Legislation for at least three months.
Bitan appealed to the MKs ahead of a scheduled meeting of the committee on Tuesday and after a 5-hour meeting between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Jason Greenblatt, President Donald Trump’s adviser on Israel.
Bennett appears to have delayed the vote temporarily to avoid any diplomatic controversy as a result of voting on such a measure coinciding with Greenblatt’s visit to Israel.

The United Nation’s High Commissioner for Human Rights, Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein, stressed the need to put an end to the “torture chamber” that Syria has become after six years of civil war.
“The entire country has become a torture chamber, a place of savage horror and absolute injustice,” al-Hussein stated in an address to the UN Human Rights Council on Tuesday during a session focusing on Syria. “Countless people have suffered arbitrary detention, torture, kidnap and enforced disappearance in Syria.”
The High Commissioner also demanded that immediate access be granted in all detention centers throughout the country.
“Humanitarian actors and international monitors must be given access to all detention centers,” he asserted. “As you know, my Office and the Commission of Inquiry have been refused access to the country, and no international human rights observers are admitted to the places where very probably tens of thousands of people are currently held.”

Lawmaker calls for rearrest of Jordanian who murdered 7 Israeli girls

Lawmaker Oren Hazan demands that Jordanian authorities rearrest Ahmed Daqamseh, who massacred seven Israeli schoolgirls and was released from Israel five years early. A new interview emerged in which he called for the elimination of Israelis.
Ahmed Daqamseh was sentenced to 25 years in prison for murdering seven Israeli schoolgirls in a terror attack. He shot at them from his Jordanian army position near the site of their class trip to the “peace island” of Naharayim, along the Israeli border with Jordan, on March 13, 1997.
Daqamseh was freed Saturday night, to a hero’s welcome, five years before the end of his sentence, despite having said in a recent jailhouse interview, “If I could return to that moment, I would behave exactly the same way … Every day that passes, I grow stronger in the belief that what I did was my duty.”
His early release, which came just as the joyous holiday of Purim was beginning, infuriated Israelis, especially the families of his young victims.
Eti Malka, who lost her 13-year-old sister Adi in the attack, told Walla News, “I cannot explain what I feel. We are all broken, all broken. I saw how [the terrorist] looks today, and I imagine how my sister would look after 20 years.”
“I mostly feel anger. I thought there would be a miracle [that Daqamseh would not be released early], and then I see him celebrated as a hero,” she said.
Member of Knesset Oren Hazan of the ruling Likud party is demanding that the terrorist be rearrested, pointing to the violent, unremorseful statements made in his first post-release interview. “The Israelis are the human waste which the nations of the world vomited up before us… We must eliminate this waste by incineration or by burial,” Daqamseh asserted.
Hazan reacted strongly, Arutz Sheva reported. “Daqamseh is a proven terrorist whose calls to incitement should be considered additions to his previous crimes. If he is calling for the murder of more Israelis, this constitutes a threat to the public, which should be dealt with by Jordan itself,” the lawmaker declared.
“The fact that this abominable murderer was released from prison and honored like a king shows how fragile a peace agreement we have with his government, and proves the peace agreement is only due to foreign interests,” he added.
“I remember when King Hussein visited Israel. It was just after the murder, and he got down on his knees and asked forgiveness from the victims’ families. What’s happening in Jordan now is causing me to think King Abdullah should act the same way as his father. If his country would have killed Daqamseh immediately, we would not be in this situation,” Hazan stated.

A Jordanian soldier who completed a prison sentence for killing 7 Israeli schoolchildren, was freed in the middle of the night, reportedly to avoid large celebrations.
A Jordanian soldier, convicted of killing seven Israeli schoolgirls 20 years ago, was released from prison after serving his sentence.
The soldier, Ahmad Daqamseh, is reportedly now with his family in the village of Ibdir, close to the city Irbid in northern Jordan.
Daqamseh was found guilty by a Jordanian military tribunal in July 1997 for firing on approximately 80 seventh and eighth grade schoolgirls from the AMIT Fuerst School in Beit Shemesh, who were on a school field trip to the “Island of Peace” tourist resort. The incident, which resulted in the killing of seven of the schoolgirls, took place on March 13 of that year.
Because the tribunal found Daqamseh mentally unstable, he was given a life sentence instead of the death penalty. Daqamseh was released after completing a life sentence under Jordanian law, which is equivalent to just 20 years of incarceration.

Trump Invites Abbas to White House, Says He’s Committed to Peace
March 11, 2017
AbbasPalestinian president Mahmoud Abbas (Yonatan Sindel/Flash90)
While discussing the importance of a peace deal, Trump invites PA leader Abbas to the White House but avoids discussing Israeli construction in Judea and Samaria or moving the US embassy to Jerusalem.
Following up on his phone call with Donald Trump on Friday, Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas informed Jordan’s King Abdullah on Saturday of the US president’s “commitment to an authentic peace process,” according to the Palestinian news outlet Wafa.
Wafa also quoted Abbas’ spokesman, Nabil Abu Rudeineh, who spoke of Trump’s “commitment to a peace process that would lead to a real peace between Palestinians and Israelis.”
For its part, the White House stated that Trump “emphasized his personal belief that peace is possible and that the time has come to make a deal.”
“The president noted that such a deal would not only give Israelis and Palestinians the peace and security they deserve, but that it would reverberate positively throughout the region and the world,” the statement added. “The United States will work closely with Palestinian and Israeli leadership to make progress toward that goal.”
In that vein, both the White House and Palestinian sources confirmed that Trump had invited Abbas to Washington for an upcoming visit.
Notably absent in the reports on the phone call between the US president and Abbas was any discussion of Trump’s consideration to move the US embassy to Jerusalem as well as Israel’s recent plans to add thousands of new Jewish homes in Judea and Samaria.

Iran’s Parliament Speaker: ‘Wicked Zionist’ Netanyahu distorts Persian history, has not studied Torah
March 12, 2017

The Iranian Parliamentary Speaker said the “wicked Zionist” Netanyahu distorted pre-Islamic Persian history during his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Iran’s Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of not only distorting history during his meeting on Thursday with Russian President Vladimir Putin, but also of demonstrating a lack of Torah study.
“(Netanyahu) has distorted the Iranians’ pre-Islam historical era and attempted to misrepresent events,” Larijani said, during an open session in Parliament on Sunday, according to the semi-official Iranian Fars News Agency.
“Apparently, (Netanyahu) neither is familiar with the history nor has studied the Torah,” continued Larijani. “Of course, nothing more than presenting such lies is expected from a wicked Zionist.”
Larijani was responding to Netanyahu’s remarks during a meeting with President Vladimir Putin on Thursday, in which he appealed to the Russian leader to work on preventing the creation of an Iranian front against Israel in Syria, by referencing the Book of Esther’s story about the miraculous reversal of a decree to annihilate the Jewish people. A senior Persian Empire official, Haman, had originally received approval from the Persian King Achashverosh.
“Some 2,500 years ago in ancient Persia, there was an attempt to wipe out the Jews, which did not succeed, and which we commemorate with this holiday,” said Netanyahu.
“Today, Iran, the heir of the Persians, has similar designs to wipe out the State of the Jews,” Netanyahu continued. “They say this clearly, and it is etched on their ballistic missiles.”

Palestinians Receive Obama's $221 Million Secret Gift
The US finally transferred Obama’s massive parting gift to the Palestinians.
The US transferred $221 million to the Palestinian Authority (PA), funds former US President Barack Obama quietly released in his waning hours.
The Trump administration initially announced a freeze on the move.
During Wednesday’s press briefing, State Department spokesman Mark Toner said it was his “understanding” the funds had been released, after initially saying there was an ongoing review.
The funds are meant for Palestinian programs, including “water, infrastructure, education, renewable energy, civil society, municipal governance, and the rule of law, as well as Gaza recovery,” he said.
A small amount was transferred directly to Israeli PA creditors, as well as to Jerusalem Palestinian hospitals.
“None of the funding was to go directly to the Palestinian Authority,” Toner stressed.
He concluded the issue by saying he would “double-check.”
The funds in question were approved by Obama hours before leaving office, and former Secretary of State John Kerry informed some lawmakers of the move shortly before he left the State Department for the last time. The written notification dated January 20 was sent to Congress just hours before Donald Trump took the oath of office.

Two human skeletons with uniforms and helmets were discovered at a construction site in Jerusalem on Thursday, and subsequently recovered by ZAKA, an ultra-Orthodox search and rescue organization.
“This is not a situation we encounter on our daily routine as ZAKA volunteers,” stated ZAKA volunteer Haim Blech. “It was a complex operation. We had to dig for hours in rocky ground until we knew we had recovered all the bones for the two skeletons.”
It remains to be seen if the skeletons are those of Jews. They were sent to the Abu Kabir Forensic Institute in Tel Aviv for further investigation.

Jewish community centers and schools across the US, and now in Canada, continue to receive bomb threats in unprecedented numbers.
Bomb threats were made to more than a dozen Jewish institutions in North America on Tuesday, followed by four more on Wednesday. It was the sixth wave of menacing warnings since January.
Jewish community centers (JCC) and schools in New York, Massachusetts, Illinois, Wisconsin, Maryland, Oregon, Florida and Alabama were threatened either over the phone or by email on Tuesday. Two Canadian JCCs – in Toronto and London, Ontario – were also threatened.
On Wednesday, three JCCs in the US were targeted – in Delaware, Colorado and Connecticut – and one in Vancouver, Canada.
Since January, over 140 bomb threats have targeted Jewish institutions in 36 US states, including JCCs, schools, synagogues and Anti-Defamation League (ADL) offices in New York, San Francisco, Atlanta, Boston and Washington, DC.
To date, one man has been arrested in connection with eight of these threats.
Similarly, two Jewish cemeteries in Philadelphia , New York and St. Louis were vandalized and desecrated.
According to the latest FBI statistics, the number of anti-Semitic criminal offenses rose from 635 in 2014 to 695 in 2015.
“But the numbers alone don’t tell the whole story. Each threat sends a message of hate to innocent adults and children, who will surely carry it with them for years to come,” the ADL stated.
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer condemned the latest wave of threats.
“I share the president’s thoughts that he vehemently hopes that we don’t continue to have to share these reports with you. But as long as they do continue, we’ll continue to condemn them and look at ways in which we can stop them,” Spicer told reporters on Tuesday.
Also on Tuesday, all 100 Senators wrote a letter asking President Donald Trump to help “enhance security measures and improve preparedness” for the Jewish community in light of incessant bomb threats.
“We are concerned the number of incidents is accelerating and failure to address and deter these threats will place innocent people at risk and threaten the financial viability of JCCs, many of which are institutions in their communities,” the letter, which was addressed to Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly, Attorney General Jeff Sessions and FBI Director James Comey, read.
“These cowardly acts aim to create an atmosphere of fear and disrupt the important programs and services offered by JCCs to everyone in the communities they serve, including in our states,” the senators wrote in the letter.

Israeli Technology Revolutionizes Detecting Heart Attacks with One Drop Israeli technology has changed the face of heart attack detection with a kit so small it fits in the palm of your hand. The results are available within minutes.
Just one drop of blood can tell within minutes if a patient has had a heart attack thanks to a revolutionary kit developed in Israel that is already saving hospitals time and money. More important, it can save lives.
A health professional needs only one drop of blood to let a patient know if a heart attack has occurred. If two stripes appear on the kit, the result is positive and the patient must immediately receive additional care.
The test is easy, noninvasive and takes less than 15 minutes to perform.
One in three Israelis appears in emergency rooms across the country convinced that he or she has had a heart attack. Many people believe they can identify classic heart attack symptoms, which include chest pain, dizziness, nausea, pain traveling particularly to the left arm, wheezing and extreme anxiety similar to a panic attack.

Hotovely also accused Liberman of undermining Israel’s freedom to decide on its own policies.
“The US administration is open to new political thinking and all options are still on the table,” she stated. “This unnecessary intimidation is causing damage to Israel’s freedom of action.”

Israeli-Arab Town Retracts Naming Street After Arch-Terrorist Arafat
The Arab town of Jatt removed a street sign named after the founder of the Palestine Liberation Organization following an uproar.
The Israeli-Arab town of Jatt on Sunday removed a street sign named after arch-terrorist Yasser Arafat that had caused an uproar in the country.
The town removed other controversial street signs as well that had been named after various Palestinian leaders considered terrorists by Israelis.
The move follows an order by Interior Minister Aryeh Deri, who deemed the street-naming illegal.
“No street in the State of Israel will be named after murderers of Israelis and Jews,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated during Sunday’s cabinet meeting. “We cannot allow streets in the State of Israel to be named after Yasser Arafat and Haj Amin al-Husseini [who led the Arabs against Israel in the 1940s] and others. We will make the arrangements, including new legislation if need be, so that this does not happen here.”

Netanyahu Fights Naming Street in Israeli-Arab Town After Yasser Arafat

Netanyahu has vowed to fight an illegal glorification of arch-terrorist Arafat after an Arab town in Israel named a street after him without authorization.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared on Saturday that he will not allow any street in Israel to be named after arch-terrorist Yasser Arafat.
He was referring to the naming of a street in the northern Israeli-Arab village of Jatt after Arafat.
In a post on his Facebook page, Netanyahu said he had learned about it through disabled IDF war veterans. “No street in the State of Israel will be named after Yasser Arafat, and we will work to remove the sign,” he stated.
Netanyahu spoke Friday with Interior Minister Aryeh Deri, who said that his ministry had never authorized the naming of any street after Arafat.
“We cannot allow streets in the State of Israel to be named after Yasser Arafat and Haj Amin al-Husseini and others. We will make the arrangements, including new legislation if need be, so that this does not happen here,” the prime minister stated at his weekly cabinet meeting Sunday morning.

Suspect Arrested for Bomb Threats Against Jewish Centers
The suspect arrested by the FBI for a number of bomb threats against Jewish community centers across the US is accusing his ex-girlfriend of framing him.
A disgraced former reporter for The Intercept, Juan Thompson, was arrested in St. Louis, Missouri, on Friday by the Federal Bureau of Investigation for an apparent connection to a number of recent bomb threats against Jewish institutions across the US.
Federal authorities say that Thompson’s first suspected threat occurred on January 28, when sending an e-mail to the Jewish History Museum in New York City from a decoy account that was meant to be tied to his ex-girl friend. The e-mail said that “Juan Thompson put 2 bombs in the History Museum set to go off Sunday.”
Similar threats were then conveyed to several other Jewish institutions, including a nearby Jewish community center.
Shortly thereafter, the FBI started to investigate Thompson, at least according to his own tweets.
“FBI is coming to interview me for some tweets,” tweeted Thompson on February 10.
“Can’t get over it: A white woman I used to date and love told the FBI that I hated white ppl and wanted to bomb them. Wow.”
The woman referenced by Thompson is Francesca Rossi, who he accuses of framing him.
“I’m been tormenting by an anti-semite named Francesca Rossi,” he wrote in another tweet. “She sent an antijewish bomb threat in my name.”
Thompson also expressed adamant opposition to President Donald Trump, who recently condemned threats against Jewish institutions in his first address to the US Congress this past week.
“Trump is not insane. That’s a slur against ppl who actually suffer w/mental health issues. He is simply a racist/sexist/capitalist monster.”

US Congressman: Trump is a ‘Man of His Word’ and will Move Embassy to Jerusalem
Speaking from Jerusalem, US Congressman Ron Desantis believes Trump will move the US embassy in Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, expressing excitement after surveying several possible new locations.
President Donald Trump will fulfill his previously stated plan to move the US embassy in Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, according to US Congressman from Florida Ron DeSantis, who arrived in Israel over the weekend with a Congressional delegation to survey several prospective new sites for the US embassy.
“Knowing the President as a man of his word, I don’t think he’s going to sign the waiver on the same month where people here in Jerusalem are celebrating the 50th anniversary of Jerusalem Day,” DeSantis said at a press conference from Jerusalem’s King David Hotel.
The waiver referenced by the Congressman refers to the authority granted to the US president, in the Jerusalem Embassy Relocation Act of 1995, to sign a six-month waiver that would postpone moving the US embassy to Jerusalem indefinitely

A 30-year old resident of the war-torn Syrian city of Aleppo seeks rescue from Israel, and claims Jewish ancestry.

Netanyahu has vowed to fight an illegal glorification of arch-terrorist Arafat after an Arab town in Israel named a street after him without authorization.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared on Saturday that he will not allow any street in Israel to be named after arch-terrorist Yasser Arafat.
He was referring to the naming of a street in the northern Israeli-Arab village of Jatt after Arafat.
In a post on his Facebook page, Netanyahu said he had learned about it through disabled IDF war veterans. “No street in the State of Israel will be named after Yasser Arafat, and we will work to remove the sign,” he stated.
Netanyahu spoke Friday with Interior Minister Aryeh Deri, who said that his ministry had never authorized the naming of any street after Arafat.
“We cannot allow streets in the State of Israel to be named after Yasser Arafat and Haj Amin al-Husseini and others. We will make the arrangements, including new legislation if need be, so that this does not happen here,” the prime minister stated at his weekly cabinet meeting Sunday morning.

Suspect Arrested for Bomb Threats Against Jewish Centers
The suspect arrested by the FBI for a number of bomb threats against Jewish community centers across the US is accusing his ex-girlfriend of framing him.
A disgraced former reporter for The Intercept, Juan Thompson, was arrested in St. Louis, Missouri, on Friday by the Federal Bureau of Investigation for an apparent connection to a number of recent bomb threats against Jewish institutions across the US.
Federal authorities say that Thompson’s first suspected threat occurred on January 28, when sending an e-mail to the Jewish History Museum in New York City from a decoy account that was meant to be tied to his ex-girl friend. The e-mail said that “Juan Thompson put 2 bombs in the History Museum set to go off Sunday.”
Similar threats were then conveyed to several other Jewish institutions, including a nearby Jewish community center.
Shortly thereafter, the FBI started to investigate Thompson, at least according to his own tweets.
“FBI is coming to interview me for some tweets,” tweeted Thompson on February 10.
“Can’t get over it: A white woman I used to date and love told the FBI that I hated white ppl and wanted to bomb them. Wow.”
The woman referenced by Thompson is Francesca Rossi, who he accuses of framing him.
“I’m been tormenting by an anti-semite named Francesca Rossi,” he wrote in another tweet. “She sent an antijewish bomb threat in my name.”
Thompson also expressed adamant opposition to President Donald Trump, who recently condemned threats against Jewish institutions in his first address to the US Congress this past week.
“Trump is not insane. That’s a slur against ppl who actually suffer w/mental health issues. He is simply a racist/sexist/capitalist monster.”

US Congressman: Trump is a ‘Man of His Word’ and will Move Embassy to Jerusalem
Speaking from Jerusalem, US Congressman Ron Desantis believes Trump will move the US embassy in Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, expressing excitement after surveying several possible new locations.
President Donald Trump will fulfill his previously stated plan to move the US embassy in Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, according to US Congressman from Florida Ron DeSantis, who arrived in Israel over the weekend with a Congressional delegation to survey several prospective new sites for the US embassy.
“Knowing the President as a man of his word, I don’t think he’s going to sign the waiver on the same month where people here in Jerusalem are celebrating the 50th anniversary of Jerusalem Day,” DeSantis said at a press conference from Jerusalem’s King David Hotel.
The waiver referenced by the Congressman refers to the authority granted to the US president, in the Jerusalem Embassy Relocation Act of 1995, to sign a six-month waiver that would postpone moving the US embassy to Jerusalem indefinitely

Lonely Holocaust Survivor Gets Final Wish to be Buried in Israel
Thanks to the efforts of United with Israel, Holocaust survivor Hilde Nathan got her last wish: to be buried next to her mother in the Holy Land.
Thanks to the efforts of United with Israel (UWI), Holocaust survivor Hilde Nathan, who died alone in the Canary Islands, where she had lived for the last several decades, got her final wish – to be buried in the Holy Land. She was accompanied by more than 200 people who packed Tel Aviv’s Kiryat Shaul Cemetery on Monday.
Israeli media, informed by UWI about the funeral a day earlier, had called on the public to attend.
NaThan’s sole friend in Israel, also a Holocaust survivor, said that throughout her life, “Nathan always lived alone, but today it seems that the entire People of Israel has come to say goodbye. She lived alone but did not leave alone.”
Nathan was born on October 11, 1926, in Germany. She was one of the few released from the Theresienstadt concentration camp by the Soviet army on the 8th of May, 1945, the day of Germany’s defeat.
Even before the outbreak of WWII, the Nathans had tried immigrating to the Land of Israel, but visas were hard to obtain. In 1933, only few could have imagined what would happen within a decade.

For the second time in a week, a Jewish cemetery in the US was vandalized and desecrated.
Some 100 headstones were vandalized and toppled at the Jewish Mount Carmel Cemetery in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, overnight Saturday.
“It’s criminal. This is beyond vandalism,” said Northeast Detectives Capt. Shawn Thrush, as he walked the cemetery grounds, according to Philadelphia’s Inquirer. “It’s beyond belief.”
The vandalism was discovered by a man who had come to visit his father’s grave.
Tombstones at the cemetery date back at least to the mid-1800s.
The Jewish Mount Carmel Cemetery is one of four graveyards located on each corner of an intersection. The three other cemeteries, which all appear to be Christian, were not desecrated. However, police maintain that the attack was an act of vandalism, not an anti-Semitic hate crime.

Israeli forces shot a Palestinian woman who appeared hostile and failed to obey orders to halt.
A Palestinian female was shot and lightly wounded on Monday at the Qalandiya checkpoint, just north of Jerusalem, after she approached security forces in a threatening manner.
The suspect approached the guards at a passway meant for vehicles while holding an unidentified object.
The forces called on her to stop, and when she disobeyed the order, they shot her in the leg.
She was lightly injured and taken to a Jerusalem hospital for treatment.
Police identified the suspect as a 20-year-old from the Palestinian village of Akeb.
No Israelis were harmed in the incident.
The Qalandiya crossing has been the site of numerous Palestinian terror attacks over the past year. The role of female Palestinian terrorists has grown markedly in the most recent wave of terror attacks.
This incident was the latest in a long series of Palestinian terror attacks which have plagued Israelis over the course of more than a year, claiming the lives of 45 victims and wounding over 650.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman reiterated Israel’s desire to act against even the most minimal of rocket fire from Gaza towards Israel.
“We respond to all fire at our territory, as we did today and as such we will do in the future,” Netanyahu said on Monday, referring to the IDF’s military response against Hamas targets after a rocket was launched from Gaza that morning.
The Hamas terrorist organization has controlled the Gaza Strip since 2007.
During a weekly meeting with his Yisrael Beitenu party, Liberman echoed remarks made by Netanyahu two weeks ago regarding Israel’s intention to respond to even a “drip-drip” of rocket attacks from the Gaza Strip.
“We have no intention to continue to absorb drizzles,” said Liberman. “We have no intention to initiate a military campaign in Gaza, but we also have no intention of being on the receiving end of sporadic fire. I recommend that Hamas take responsibility, establish order and calm down.”

Texas School Teacher Fired Over ‘Kill Some Jews’ Post
A Muslim preschool teacher from Texas with Palestinian roots was fired after posting violently anti-Semitic comments on her social media feed.
By Lea Spyer, The Algemeiner and United with Israel Staff
A Texas pre-school teacher, fired on Wednesday for encouraging followers to “kill some Jews” on social media prior to her employment, expressed remorse for her offensive comments the next day.
Nancy Salem told the local Arlington news station CBS11 that she made her “racist and anti-Semitic” comments when she was a teenager, and that they “are not a reflection of the beliefs I hold today.”
“These statements were made at a time when I was not strong in my faith; nor do they reflect the family values of inclusivity and respect for all faiths that my parents have worked very hard to instill in us,” she said.
The young “often get involved with individuals that influence their behaviors and not always for the better, and I deeply regret having been influenced in such a way,” Salem said, adding that it “does not excuse my actions and I am truly sorry for the pain and hurt my words caused, especially to members of the Jewish faith.”
Citing her Muslim-American and Palestinian heritage, Salem said, “I am all too accustomed to being bullied and the target of hate speech, so the fact that I made such statements is even more offensive, because I should have known and acted with more compassion.”
Addressing her termination at The Children’s Courtyard pre-school, Salem said, “I take full responsibility for my past statements and respect the actions my employer took to address the concerns as a result.”

A “new era has dawned at the UN in which one-sided initiatives against Israel will not succeed,” says Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon.
Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas called for an Israeli withdrawal to the pre-Six Day War boundaries during his address to the United Nations Human Rights Council on Monday.
“Peace in the world can be secured by realization of the two-state solution, Palestine and Israel, living side by side on the pre-1967 borders in peace and security,” Abbas said, urging “concerned parties not to take steps that contribute to strengthening the Israeli occupation of the State of Palestine.”
“This includes the support to the Israeli settlement enterprise, attacks against holy places or moving embassies to Jerusalem,” he added, implicitly referencing US President Donald Trump’s stated plan to move the US embassy in Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon responded by criticizing the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) for allowing the PA chairman a platform to slam Israel.

Comptroller’s Report Criticizes Netanyahu Over Threats from Hamas Terror Tunnels
February 28, 2017
Terror tunnelInside a Hamas underground tunnel (AP/Jack Guez)
Israel’s state comptroller determined that Netanyahu failed to sufficiently inform his cabinet of the severity of Hamas’ underground tunnel network before launching Operation Protective Edge in 2014.
Israeli State Comptroller Joseph Shapira published the long-awaited report on the government’s handling of Operation Protective Edge, which was launched in the summer of 2014 against the Hamas terrorist organization controlling the Gaza Strip.
At particular issue in the report is the apparent failure on the part of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and then-Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon, along with the IDF’s previous chief of staff, Benny Gantz, to make the necessary preparations for responding to the threat of Hamas’ underground tunnels running into Israel from the Gaza Strip.
The report said that Netanyahu and Yaalon had presented the threat only “in general and limited statements which were insufficient to clarify the severity of the threat and to establish the necessary level of awareness for the rest of the cabinet.”
The report also said that Netanyahu, Ya’alon and Gantz consequentially failed to consult with the cabinet on preemptively eliminating the tunnel threat.
It thus suggests that many of Netanyahu’s ministers were left in the dark about the tunnel threat and discovered the extent of the problem more than several days after the IDF launched Operation Protective Edge, when it was already too late to contain the problem effectively

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected assertions in a report, published Tuesday by State Comptroller Joseph Shapira, that he and other senior officials neglected to take necessary preemptive and preparatory steps ahead of Operation Protective Edge, which was launched in the summer of 2014 against the Hamas terrorist organization controlling the Gaza Strip.
The prime minister said that he “supports the officers and fighters of the IDF following their great success during Operation Protective Edge,” Times of Israel reported. “The IDF] hit Hamas harder than it had ever been hit before, killing more than 1,000 terrorists and destroying thousands of rockets,” Netanyahu added, pointing to the “unprecedented quiet” at the border with Gaza since the operation ended.

Police removed nine Israeli families from their homes, which were allegedly built on privately owned Palestinian land.
Police forces on Tuesday evicted nine Jewish families from their homes in the Israeli community of Ofra, in Samaria, north of Jerusalem.
The forces were acting in accordance with a February 2015 High Court of Justice ruling that the buildings were built on land privately owned by Palestinians, although the alleged landowners have not proven their claim.
On Monday, the High Court has turned down the request of the residents to seal the homes rather then destroy them. Under a High Court order, the homes are to be demolished by Sunday.
Hundreds of protesters, mostly youth, gathered at the site and demonstrated against the eviction and demolition.
No major disturbances were reported, and only a few individuals were detained by police.

“It’s criminal. This is beyond vandalism,” said Northeast Detectives Capt. Shawn Thrush, as he walked the cemetery grounds, according to Philadelphia’s Inquirer. “It’s beyond belief.”
The vandalism was discovered by a man who had come to visit his father’s grave.
Tombstones at the cemetery date back at least to the mid-1800s.
The Jewish Mount Carmel Cemetery is one of four graveyards located on each corner of an intersection. The three other cemeteries, which all appear to be Christian, were not desecrated. However, police maintain that the attack was an act of vandalism, not an anti-Semitic hate crime.

The White House reiterated its condemnation of anti-Semitic activity a day after it was discovered that a Jewish cemetery in Philadelphia was vandalized.
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer conveyed President Donald Trump’s condemnation of the recent incidents of vandalism in at least two Jewish cemeteries.
“The president continues to condemn these and any other forms of anti-Semitic and hateful acts in the strongest terms,” Spicer said on Monday.”The cowardly destruction in Philadelphia this weekend comes on top of similar accounts from Missouri and threats made to Jewish community centers around the country.
Spicer’s remarks were made a day after approximately 100 tombstones in a Jewish cemetery in Philadelphia were found toppled, following a similar incident that occurred a week earlier in a Jewish cemetery in St. Louis, Missouri.
“From our country’s founding we’ve been dedicated to protecting the freedom of our citizens’ rights to worship.” Spicer continued. “No one in America should feel afraid to follow the religion of their choosing freely and openly.”

Israeli forces shot a Palestinian woman who appeared hostile and failed to obey orders to halt.
A Palestinian female was shot and lightly wounded on Monday at the Qalandiya checkpoint, just north of Jerusalem, after she approached security forces in a threatening manner.
The suspect approached the guards at a passway meant for vehicles while holding an unidentified object.
The forces called on her to stop, and when she disobeyed the order, they shot her in the leg.
She was lightly injured and taken to a Jerusalem hospital for treatment.
Police identified the suspect as a 20-year-old from the Palestinian village of Akeb.
No Israelis were harmed in the incident.
The Qalandiya crossing has been the site of numerous Palestinian terror attacks over the past year. The role of female Palestinian terrorists has grown markedly in the most recent wave of terror attacks.
This incident was the latest in a long series of Palestinian terror attacks which have plagued Israelis over the course of more than a year, claiming the lives of 45 victims and wounding over 650.

Netanyahu and his defense minister said that Israel will not tolerate even a “drizzle” of rocket fire from Gaza, which is under control of the Hamas terrorist organization.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman reiterated Israel’s desire to act against even the most minimal of rocket fire from Gaza towards Israel.
“We respond to all fire at our territory, as we did today and as such we will do in the future,” Netanyahu said on Monday, referring to the IDF’s military response against Hamas targets after a rocket was launched from Gaza that morning.
The Hamas terrorist organization has controlled the Gaza Strip since 2007.
During a weekly meeting with his Yisrael Beitenu party, Liberman echoed remarks made by Netanyahu two weeks ago regarding Israel’s intention to respond to even a “drip-drip” of rocket attacks from the Gaza Strip.
“We have no intention to continue to absorb drizzles,” said Liberman. “We have no intention to initiate a military campaign in Gaza, but we also have no intention of being on the receiving end of sporadic fire. I recommend that Hamas take responsibility, establish order and calm down.”

Texas School Teacher Fired Over ‘Kill Some Jews’ Post
A Muslim preschool teacher from Texas with Palestinian roots was fired after posting violently anti-Semitic comments on her social media feed.
By Lea Spyer, The Algemeiner and United with Israel Staff
A Texas pre-school teacher, fired on Wednesday for encouraging followers to “kill some Jews” on social media prior to her employment, expressed remorse for her offensive comments the next day.
Nancy Salem told the local Arlington news station CBS11 that she made her “racist and anti-Semitic” comments when she was a teenager, and that they “are not a reflection of the beliefs I hold today.”
“These statements were made at a time when I was not strong in my faith; nor do they reflect the family values of inclusivity and respect for all faiths that my parents have worked very hard to instill in us,” she said.
The young “often get involved with individuals that influence their behaviors and not always for the better, and I deeply regret having been influenced in such a way,” Salem said, adding that it “does not excuse my actions and I am truly sorry for the pain and hurt my words caused, especially to members of the Jewish faith.”
Citing her Muslim-American and Palestinian heritage, Salem said, “I am all too accustomed to being bullied and the target of hate speech, so the fact that I made such statements is even more offensive, because I should have known and acted with more compassion.”
Addressing her termination at The Children’s Courtyard pre-school, Salem said, “I take full responsibility for my past statements and respect the actions my employer took to address the concerns as a result.”

At UN, Abbas Calls for Israeli Withdrawal to Pre-1967 Borders

Mahmud AbbasPA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas (AP/Majdi Mohammed)
A “new era has dawned at the UN in which one-sided initiatives against Israel will not succeed,” says Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon.
Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas called for an Israeli withdrawal to the pre-Six Day War boundaries during his address to the United Nations Human Rights Council on Monday.
“Peace in the world can be secured by realization of the two-state solution, Palestine and Israel, living side by side on the pre-1967 borders in peace and security,” Abbas said, urging “concerned parties not to take steps that contribute to strengthening the Israeli occupation of the State of Palestine.”
“This includes the support to the Israeli settlement enterprise, attacks against holy places or moving embassies to Jerusalem,” he added, implicitly referencing US President Donald Trump’s stated plan to move the US embassy in Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon responded by criticizing the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) for allowing the PA chairman a platform to slam Israel.

Comptroller’s Report Criticizes Netanyahu Over Threats from Hamas Terror Tunnels
February 28, 2017
Terror tunnelInside a Hamas underground tunnel (AP/Jack Guez)
Israel’s state comptroller determined that Netanyahu failed to sufficiently inform his cabinet of the severity of Hamas’ underground tunnel network before launching Operation Protective Edge in 2014.
Israeli State Comptroller Joseph Shapira published the long-awaited report on the government’s handling of Operation Protective Edge, which was launched in the summer of 2014 against the Hamas terrorist organization controlling the Gaza Strip.
At particular issue in the report is the apparent failure on the part of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and then-Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon, along with the IDF’s previous chief of staff, Benny Gantz, to make the necessary preparations for responding to the threat of Hamas’ underground tunnels running into Israel from the Gaza Strip.
The report said that Netanyahu and Yaalon had presented the threat only “in general and limited statements which were insufficient to clarify the severity of the threat and to establish the necessary level of awareness for the rest of the cabinet.”
The report also said that Netanyahu, Ya’alon and Gantz consequentially failed to consult with the cabinet on preemptively eliminating the tunnel threat.
It thus suggests that many of Netanyahu’s ministers were left in the dark about the tunnel threat and discovered the extent of the problem more than several days after the IDF launched Operation Protective Edge, when it was already too late to contain the problem effectively

The long-awaited State Comptroller’s report on Operation Protective Edge criticizes Netanyahu and the defense establishment for a lack of preparedness in responding to the threat from Hamas, but the Israeli leader and the IDF disagree.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected assertions in a report, published Tuesday by State Comptroller Joseph Shapira, that he and other senior officials neglected to take necessary preemptive and preparatory steps ahead of Operation Protective Edge, which was launched in the summer of 2014 against the Hamas terrorist organization controlling the Gaza Strip.
The prime minister said that he “supports the officers and fighters of the IDF following their great success during Operation Protective Edge,” Times of Israel reported. “The IDF] hit Hamas harder than it had ever been hit before, killing more than 1,000 terrorists and destroying thousands of rockets,” Netanyahu added, pointing to the “unprecedented quiet” at the border with Gaza since the operation ended.

Facebook Finally Shuts Down Fatah’s Page for Incitement
Feb 28, 2017
The Fatah page, which routinely glorifies terrorists and terrorism, was finally shut by Facebook.
The official Facebook page of the Palestinian Authority’s (PA) ruling party Fatah was shut by Facebook on Monday, according to an official statement from the Fatah movement.
Munir al-Jaghoub, a Fatah official and the page administrator, said in the statement that Facebook closed Fatah’s official page after the group posted a photo of the late arch-terrorist and Fatah leader Yasser Arafat alongside the current deputy chairman of the movement Mahmoud al-Aloul, the Palestinian Ma’an news agency reported.
In the old photo, Arafat hands a rifle to al-Aloul.
The statement noted this was the second time Facebook has closed Fatah’s official Facebook page.
The page routinely posts material glorifying Palestinian terrorism, so-called martyrdom and armed struggle against Israel.
Celebrating its 52nd anniversary this January, Fatah named murderers and leaders of terror organizations as its role models and continues pushing its “phased plan” for the destruction of the entire State of Israel.

Police removed nine Israeli families from their homes, which were allegedly built on privately owned Palestinian land.
Police forces on Tuesday evicted nine Jewish families from their homes in the Israeli community of Ofra, in Samaria, north of Jerusalem.
The forces were acting in accordance with a February 2015 High Court of Justice ruling that the buildings were built on land privately owned by Palestinians, although the alleged landowners have not proven their claim.
On Monday, the High Court has turned down the request of the residents to seal the homes rather then destroy them. Under a High Court order, the homes are to be demolished by Sunday.
Hundreds of protesters, mostly youth, gathered at the site and demonstrated against the eviction and demolition.
No major disturbances were reported, and only a few individuals were detained by police.

It has been proven once again that the UNHRC “is completely divorced from reality,” Danon charged.
The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) again exposed its bias against Israel when it chose to condemn Israel’s judicial system, while failing to relate to countries with no judicial process.
On Friday, the UNHRC condemned an Israeli military court ruling which sentenced IDF Sgt. Elor Azaria to 18 months in prison on Wednesday, after finding him guilty of manslaughter in January.
Azaria was also demoted to the rank of Private and received another 12-months suspended sentence.
Last March, Azaria, a combat medic stationed in Hebron, shot a neutralized terrorist in the head as he lay wounded on the ground after committing a stabbing attack against the soldier’s colleagues.
The UNHRC said it was “deeply disturbed at the lenient sentence” given by the military court.

The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) may finally face consequences for its hounding of Israel.
Politico reported on Saturday that the Trump administration is considering pulling the UNHRC, according to two sources in regular contact with former and current US officials.
A former State Department official briefed on the discussions told Politico that while the Council’s targeting of Israel is likely part of the debate, there are also questions about its members, several of whom are human rights abusers, and doubts about its usefulness overall.
Countries known for human rights abuses, such as China and Saudi Arabia, are Council members.

According to a report published by the National Bureau for Vigilance Against Anti-Semitism (BNVCA), the brothers had been forced off a main road onto a side street by another vehicle from which the passengers shouted, “Dirty Jews! You’re going to die!”
The brothers were then surrounded by the passengers from the other car as well as by several patrons of a nearby bar, who beat, kicked and punched them repeatedly and sawed off one of the brother’s fingers.
The victims were hospitalized. An investigation has been opened.

Iran is the biggest threat to the Middle East, Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister said, adding that he looks forward to working with the Trump administration to overcome challenges in the region, including the Arab-Israeli conflict.
In apparent agreement with the Israelis, Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister accused Iran of being the primary supporter of global terrorism.
“Iran remains the single main sponsor of terrorism in the world,” Adel al-Jubeir declared in an address to the Munich Security Conference on Sunday. “It’s determined to upend the order in Middle East, and until and unless Iran changes its behavior it would be very difficult to deal with a country like this.”
“I believe that the world has to make it clear to the Iranians that there is certain behavior that will not be tolerated, and that there will be consequences, and those consequences have to be in tune with the financial side,” he affirmed.
Common Ground with Israel
“The biggest and most brutal and sophisticated terror organization in the world is the Iranian Revolutionary Guard,” Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman stated, noting the common ground between Israel and its Sunni Arab neighbors regarding Iran’s aggression.
“For the first time since 1948, to the moderate Arab world, the Sunni world, the biggest threat for them is not Israel, not Zionists and not Jews, but Iran and Iranian proxies,” Liberman declared.
Optimistic about Trump
Al-Jubeir added that he was “very optimistic about the Trump administration,” which had recently put “Iran on notice.”
“We look forward to working with the Trump administration on all issues,” al-Jubeir said. “I believe progress can be made in the Arab Israel conflict, if there is a will to do so,. We know what the settlement looks like, if there is just the political will to do so. And my country stands ready with other Arab countries to work to see how we can promote that.”
Saudi Arabia shares common goals with Trump, he said. “He believes in destroying Islamic State; so do we. He believes in containing Iran; so do we. He believes in working with traditional allies; so do we.”

Trump’s transition team reportedly worked vigorously to head off an anti-Israel UN resolution that was supported by the Obama administration.

Netanyahu: US-Israel alliance ‘has become even stronger’
February 19, 2017
Netanyahu said there will be enhanced bilateral cooperation in many areas, including Israeli construction in Judea and Samaria.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said during his weekly cabinet meeting on Sunday that the US-Israel relationship has been enhanced since his meeting last week with President Donald Trump.
“The alliance between Israel and the US has always been steadfast, but, I said, I told them there and also here in Jerusalem, this alliance has become even stronger,” said Netanyahu.
Netanyahu said that the relationship has been boosted in large part because of his already-established close friendship with Trump. It was close enough for Trump to endorse Netanyahu for prime minister in Israel’s 2013 parliamentary elections.
“There is a personal connection of many years between President Trump and myself, and it is important,” Netanyahu noted.

The American public’s support for Israel is not only stronger than ever, but steadily increasing, a recent poll shows.
According to a new Gallup poll published on Wednesday, the vast majority of Americans decisively supports Israel, with seven in 10 Americans sympathizing with the Jewish state.
Gallup’s annual World Affairs poll shows that a vast majority of Americans – 71 percent – views Israel favorably, and only 27 percent unfavorably.
This represents the fourth straight year that Israel’s favorable rating has been at 70 percent or higher.
This year’s survey found 29 percent viewing Israel very favorably, 42 percent mostly favorably, 21 percent mostly unfavorably and 6 percent very unfavorably. Just eight percent have no opinion on the Jewish state.
Israel enjoys a positive image among all major US demographic and political groups, but scores particularly well with Republicans, with 81 percent viewing it favorably as well as adults 65 and older (77 percent).
While 61 percent of Democrats view Israel favorably, it is the lowest majority of any major subgroup.
Growing US Opposition to Palestinian State
The poll, conducted via telephone interviews at the beginning of the month with a random sample of 1,035 adults, shows that Americans’ views about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are fluctuating.

In apparent agreement with the Israelis, Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister accused Iran of being the primary supporter of global terrorism. “Iran remains the single main sponsor of terrorism in the world,” Adel al-Jubeir declared in an address to the Munich Security Conference on Sunday. “It’s determined to upend the order in Middle East, and until and unless Iran changes its behavior it would be very difficult to deal with a country like this.” “I believe that the world has to make it clear to the Iranians that there is certain behavior that will not be tolerated, and that there will be consequences, and those consequences have to be in tune with the financial side,” he affirmed. Common Ground with Israel “The biggest and most brutal and sophisticated terror organization in the world is the Iranian Revolutionary Guard,” Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman stated, noting the common ground between Israel and its Sunni Arab neighbors regarding Iran’s aggression. “For the first time since 1948, to the moderate Arab world, the Sunni world, the biggest threat for them is not Israel, not Zionists and not Jews, but Iran and Iranian proxies,” Liberman declared. Optimistic about Trump Al-Jubeir added that he was “very optimistic about the Trump administration,” which had recently put “Iran on notice.” “We look forward to working with the Trump administration on all issues,” al-Jubeir said. “I believe progress can be made in the Arab Israel conflict, if there is a will to do so,. We know what the settlement looks like, if there is just the political will to do so.

ISIS group claims responsibility for missile attack on southern Israel
February 9, 2017
An ISIS-affiliated terror group not only claimed responsibility for firing four missiles towards Israel’s southernmost city of Eilat, but also threatened that the “future will be more calamitous.”
An Islamic terrorist group affiliated with the Islamic State (ISIS) and operating in the Sinai Desert claimed responsibility for several missiles that were fired at Israel’s southernmost city of Eilat on Wednesday night.
“A military squad fired a number of Grad rockets at communities of Jewish usurpers in the town of Eilat…in order to teach the Jews and the crusaders a proxy war will not avail them of anything,” the group, known as “Sinai Province,” said in a statement posted online.
“The future will be more calamitous with God’s permission,” the statement said.
Israel has also faced threats and attacks from ISIS units operating in Sinai. In November of 2016, the IDF killed four terrorists from an ISIS-affiliated group in Syria known as the “Yarmouk Martyrs Brigade,” which fired upon an IDF patrol unit stationed at the border with Syria in the Golan Heights. Israel responded later that night by attacking an installation unit located in the Syrian side of the Golan Heights that had been used by the ISIS-affiliated terror group.

Six people were injured in a terror attack in the Israeli city of Petah Tikvah on Thursday, 5 from gunshot wounds and 1 from a stab wound.
A Palestinian terrorist with a knife and a gun attacked several people on Thursday afternoon at a marketplace in the Tel Aviv suburb of Petah Tikvah, injuring six people.
The terrorist, a 19-year old man from the Palestinian Authority city of Shechem in Samaria, was subdued by civilians at the scene of the terror attack while still carrying his gun. The civilians then handed him over to the police.
Five of the victims received immediate medical attention for gunshot wounds, according to Magen David Adom. The sixth victim sustained a stab wound in his upper body.
United Hatzalah, an emergency response organization, said that it treated a male stabbing victim as well as one of the women who was shot in her lower body.
“As I was treating a woman for gunshot injuries to her legs, the dispatch center of United Hatzalah informed me and my fellow EMS first responders that there were other injured people the next street over,” related Gal Dover, a paramedic with United Hatzalah. “After I finished treating the woman, I ran over to the other scene where I treated a man for a stab wound and head injury.”

Alleged 9/11 Mastermind Wrote Letter to Obama Justifying Attacks
The alleged mastermind of the September 11 terror attacks faulted the US for the attacks in a letter to Barack Obama.
The details of a letter written by alleged mastermind of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, written to President Barack Obama, were recently revealed by the Miami Herald.
Justifying the “blessed” terror attacks to Obama, whom he referred to in the letter as “the head of the snake” and president of “the country of oppression and tyranny,” Mohammed claimed that “we did not start the war against you through the events of 9/11.”
Instead, he argued that the attacks “adhered to all universal laws” and were a “natural reaction to your destructive policies towards the Islamic world; your unlimited support to Israel, the Jewish Zionist State; and your continued support and protection for dictatorial rulers in the Islamic world aimed at protecting your own interests.”
The letter, dated January 8, 2015 and obtained by the Miami Herald from Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s attorneys, had been delivered to Obama shortly preceding the end of his presidency as the judge handling Mohammed’s case held that Obama should get the chance to read it before leaving office.
Khaled Sheikh Mohammed, who is still awaiting trial in Guantanamo Bay, also expressed in the letter a sense of preparedness in accepting whatever verdict awaits him.
“If your court sentences me to life in prison, I will be very happy to be alone in my cell to worship Allah the rest of my life and repent to Him all my sins and misdeeds,” he said.
“And if your court sentences me to death, I will be even happier to meet Allah and the prophets and see my best friends whom you killed unjustly all around the world and to see Sheikh Osama Bin Laden.”

WATCH: Anti-Netanyahu Protesters in London Show Total Ignorance
Anti-Israel activists who gathered to demonstrate against Netanyahu in London, outnumbered by Zionists, showed complete ignorance coupled with hate.
Supporters of the Jewish state and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu outnumbered a small group of anti-Israel activists who protested the Israeli leader’s visit to London on Monday, where he was warmly welcomed by his British counterpart, Theresa May.
The protesters screamed slogans showing their desire not for a two-state solution, but for the destruction of the Jewish state, such as, “From the [Jordan] river to the [Mediterranean] Sea, Palestine will be free.”
“Israel is the biggest terrorist state in the world,” screamed one demonstrator, comparing Netanyahu to the Ku Klux Klan.
The highlight was a man holding a sign against the “Greater Israel Project,” who, when asked what this project was all about, said he could not recall any facts at the moment, after mumbling some nonsense and saying people could look it up.
Click below and witness the baseless hate, while getting a laugh out of some of the answers given by the ignorant crowd.

Khaled Sheikh Mohammed, who is still awaiting trial in Guantanamo Bay, also expressed in the letter a sense of preparedness in accepting whatever verdict awaits him.
“If your court sentences me to life in prison, I will be very happy to be alone in my cell to worship Allah the rest of my life and repent to Him all my sins and misdeeds,” he said.
“And if your court sentences me to death, I will be even happier to meet Allah and the prophets and see my best friends whom you killed unjustly all around the world and to see Sheikh Osama Bin Laden.”

WATCH: Anti-Netanyahu Protesters in London Show Total Ignorance
Anti-Israel activists who gathered to demonstrate against Netanyahu in London, outnumbered by Zionists, showed complete ignorance coupled with hate.
Supporters of the Jewish state and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu outnumbered a small group of anti-Israel activists who protested the Israeli leader’s visit to London on Monday, where he was warmly welcomed by his British counterpart, Theresa May.
The protesters screamed slogans showing their desire not for a two-state solution, but for the destruction of the Jewish state, such as, “From the [Jordan] river to the [Mediterranean] Sea, Palestine will be free.”
“Israel is the biggest terrorist state in the world,” screamed one demonstrator, comparing Netanyahu to the Ku Klux Klan.
The highlight was a man holding a sign against the “Greater Israel Project,” who, when asked what this project was all about, said he could not recall any facts at the moment, after mumbling some nonsense and saying people could look it up.
Click below and witness the baseless hate, while getting a laugh out of some of the answers given by the ignorant crowd.

Israel's Iron Dome Intercepts 3 Missiles Fired from Egypt
srael intercepted three missiles fired from across the Egyptian border, towards the coastal city of Eilat, shortly after launching a response to mortar landing in the Golan Heights from across the Syrian border.
An IDF spokesperson confirmed that at least four missiles were fired in the direction of Israel’s southernmost city Eilat, from the direction of the Egyptian border. Three of the missiles were successfully intercepted by Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system, while the fourth landed in an open area.
The IDF responded earlier to a mortar shell that landed in the Golan Heights on Wednesday night, which was shot from across Israel’s border with Syria.

Iran Removes Powerful Missile from Launch Pad
Report: Iran Removes Powerful Missile from Launch Pad
Have the actions taken by the Trump administration against Iran yielded results?
Iran has removed a powerful missile from a launch pad within the past few days after apparently having planned to set it off.
Satellite images from February 3, obtained by Fox News from ImageSat International and verified by US officials, show Iran preparing a Safir missile for launch at the Semnan site, where it had recently conducted an illicit missile test.
The next day, the White House issued a strongly worded statement from National Security Adviser Mike Flynn, putting Iran “on notice.”
“Iran is playing with fire – they don’t appreciate how “kind” President Obama was to them. Not me!” US President Donald Trump tweeted.
On Friday, the same day the satellite photos showed the new Safir missile on the launch pad, the White House announced new sanctions against 13 Iranian individuals and 12 Iranian companies tied to the missile program.
Days later, Iran quickly cleaned up the launch site and prepared another missile on the same launch pad. It was subsequently removed, although it is not immediately clear why.
It could be that Washington’s statements have had an effect.
In an interview on Sunday, Trump said that the US was “just starting” to take action against Tehran’s hostility.
The missile prepared for launch and then removed is the type that Iran had previously used to launch a satellite into space

Hamas: We Turned Down An Israeli Prisoner Exchange Offer
February 8, 2017
Goldin ShaulHadar Goldin (L) and Oron Shaul. (Social media)
Israel made an offer to facilitate the return of the bodies of two soldiers killed during Israel’s 2014 war with Hamas and two civilians who crossed into Gaza, but Hamas has rejected the offer.
Hamas claimed Wednesday that it had again turned down an Israeli offer for a prisoner swap in exchange for two Israeli citizens and the remains of two IDF soldiers held by Hamas.
According to a report by Al-Jezeera, Hamas said they turned down the Israeli offer because it did not meet even their minimal demands.
Earlier this week, a Hamas source was quoted as saying that the terror group rejected an Israeli proposal to swap one of the Israelis held in Gaza for a Hamas prisoner, a brother of a senior Hamas official jailed in Israel.
Hamas is reportedly seeking a comprehensive deal and not a partial exchange. Such a comprehensive release of prisoners would play well for their propaganda purposes.

Israeli security prevented several mass-casualty terror attacks by Hamas operatives, this time in the north.
An Israeli court on Monday indicted three Hamas terrorists charged with planning multiple terrorist attacks in Israel, including shootings, bombings and abductions.
Mamdouh Younis, 24, an Arab with Israeli citizenship from the northern town of Arara, and Hassan Zidan, 23, and Muhammad Zidan, 25, two brothers from the village of Bani Naim near Hebron, were arrested several months ago, the Shin Bet (Israel’s Security Agency) announced.
According to the indictment filed with the Haifa District Court, the three terrorists planned attacks on several locations in northern Israel, including an IDF base near Kafr Qara, the train station in Binyamina, a major synagogue in Zichron Yaakov and the central bus station in Afula. It is believed that they had collected information about their targets while working illegally in Israel and that they were directed by Hamas through a Facebook group.

Iran Enlarges Uranium Stockpile By 60 Percent
ran is building its stockpile of uranium, which it can quickly enrich and turn into weapons-grade material.
Iran will have 60-percent more stockpiled uranium than it did prior to the controversial 2015 nuclear deal after a shipment of 149 tons of yellow cake arrives later this week.
Ali Akbar Salehi, head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), announced that the import will be completed on Tuesday.
“The first of the four cargos of yellow cake was imported to Iran on January 26 and God willing, the fourth cargo will arrive in the country on Tuesday, February 7, and totally, 149 tons of yellow cake will be added to the country’s reserves,” Salehi told Iran’s Fars News on Monday.
Salehi claimed that Iran’s importing of 210 tons of yellow cake in the past year is concurrent with the implementation of the nuclear deal. “This 149 tons added to the 210 tons which had been imported before will make 359 tons, a part of which was received for the 3.5 percent enriched uranium that we had exported,” he said.
Under the nuclear accord, Iran’s import of uranium is supervised by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
“Our yellow cake reserves have increased nearly 60%,” Salehi added.
Low-enriched uranium can be used for civilian applications, including power generation and medical research. Highly enriched uranium can be used for nuclear weapons. Iran has the technology to enrich uranium.
Iran nd the world powers reached a nuclear deal in July 2015, which lifted sanctions against Tehran and set certain limitations on Tehran’s nuclear technology.
Based on the deal, the Islamic Republic exported enriched UF6 and imported yellow cake from abroad.

Donald Trump: Pedophiles Will Get The Death Penalty

[neonnettle] Donald Trump: Pedophiles Will Get The Death Penalty:
Donald Trump has vowed to tackle the child abduction crisis in the United States by giving pedophiles and fast trial resulting in the death penalty.
The President-elect tweeted that there are “too many incidents” and something “must be done about these perverts”.
With Elite pedophilia rife in Washinton D.C., could this be what Trump was referring to when he talked about “draining the swamp”, and how far up the social ladder will he be prepared to go when it comes to swiftly executing these offenders?
NW reports: According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (citing U.S. Department of Justice reports), nearly 800,000 children are reported missing each year. That’s more than 2,000 children abducted every single day.
One every 40 seconds.
In 2010, the Justice Department released the first-ever National Strategy for Child Exploitation Prevention and Interdiction, which aimed to assess the dangers of child pornography, online enticement, and other crimes against children. It found that between 2005 and 2009, there was a 432 percent increase in child pornography movies and files submitted to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, which attempts to identify victims.
Child porn crisis
The Daily Beast reports:
“Although documenting the precise quantity of child pornography is difficult, it is evident that technological advances have contributed significantly to the overall increase in the child pornography threat,” the strategy report found. From 2005 through 2009, it said, U.S. Attorneys prosecuted 8,352 child pornography cases, “and in most instances, the offenders used digital technologies and the Internet to produce, view, store, advertise, or distribute child pornography.”
The label “pornography” arguably doesn’t capture the depravity of some of the crimes committed against children. In 2012, a Ganby, Connecticut, police captain was sentenced to 10 years in prison for possessing and trading videos that “horrifically depicted children being sexually abused by adults,” according to a U.S. prosecutor. Among the images the former cop sought from fellow traders were those of babies being bound and tortured, officials said.
Also in 2014, the former acting director of cyber security at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services was convicted for his participation in a child porn ring that included images so violent and disturbing that even veteran investigators said they were shocked by what they saw. A federal prosecutor said the employee used his technical expertise to navigate anonymous computer networks frequented by child porn peddlers.
UK government implicated in pedo ring
Cases of violent child abuse in the United States have mirrored recent revelations from an organized abuse ring in the United Kingdom featuring senior members of the British government. Shocking cases of crimes against children went unreported or covered up for decades. As The Daily Beast reported Friday, the potential key witness in the ring, who was himself allegedly a victim as a schoolboy, fled Britain and now lives in the United States.
The international dimensions of child pornography and violence haven’t escaped the FBI, which last week helped to take down an alleged porn kingpin in South Africa. The accused was reportedly arrested at his home in Grahamstown, near the country’s southern coast, and had 16 hard drives, a laptop, and video and still cameras. FBI agents are said to have discovered the network after seven people were arrested in the United States using Web sites designed to coax children into performing sexual acts while surreptitiously being videotaped.

Israeli Knesset Passes Historic Law Legalizing 4000 Homes in Judea, Samaria
The Knesset passed the historic Regulation Law, legalizing 4000 Jewish ‘settlement’ homes in Judea and Samaria and protecting them from ownership claims by alleged landowners.
In a late-night session on Monday, Israel’s parliament voted in favor of the Regulation Law, legalizing Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria which were established with state involvement and possibly built on private land or land not owned by the state. The final vote was 60 to 52
The law, passed in its third and final reading, stipulates that communities built on private land or non-state-owned land will not be demolished. Rather, the land will be expropriated and the owner will be compensated.

UN Says Israel’s Historic Law Crosses 'Very Thick Red Line'
Several European officials conveyed remarks similar to those of a UN official, who referred to Israel’s passing of the Regulation Law as crossing a “very, very thick red line.”
The United Nations’ Coordinator for the Middle East peace process, Nickolay Mladenov, said on Tuesday that Israel’s passing of legislation known as the “Regulation Law” crossed a “very. very thick red line.”
“It crosses a very, very thick red line,” Mladenov said. “It opens the potential for the full annexation of the West Bank and therefore undermines substantially the two-state solution.”
The law prevents the future demolition of any homes in Judea and Samaria that are found ex-post facto by Israel’s High Court to have been built on private Palestinian land. The small community of Amona, which was located a short drive north of Jerusalem in the Binyamin region, was evacuated last week in accordance with a High Court ruling in 2014 that found it to have belonged to private owners.

Trump Says ISIS Terrorism Ignored By Media
President Donald Trump stated during a speech on Monday that terrorist acts in Europe are going unreported by the mainstream media.
“All over Europe it’s happening [acts of terrorism]. It’s gotten to a point where it’s not even being reported. And in many cases, the very, very dishonest press doesn’t want to report it. They have their reasons, and you understand that,” he stated.
Trump made his claim before a broad audience on live television, while speaking at Central Command headquarters in Florida.
On Air Force One, Trump spokesman Sean Spicer seemingly walked backed Trump’s remarks and said he did not really mean that terrorist attacks received no coverage. Trump’s actual complaint, he said, was that such acts don’t get enough attention.
“He felt that members of media don’t always cover some of those events to the extent that other events might get covered,” Spicer said. “Like a protest gets blown out of the water, and yet an attack or a foiled attack doesn’t necessarily get the same coverage.”

Netanyahu Working to Change Nuclear Deal with Iran
Netanyahu is seeking to alter the nuclear deal through an international coalition that will demand the changes.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is apparently leading an international effort to alter the Iran nuclear deal.
Speaking to Israel’s NRG news on Monday while boarding a plane back to Israel from the United Kingdom, Netanyahu said that the agreement, in it current form, enables the Iranians to develop an arsenal of tens of nuclear cores within a decade. “We must ensure this does not happen,” he told reporters.
Netanyahu stressed that the latest illicit ballistic missile test conducted by Iran was in breach of a UN Security Council resolution.
Iran requires nuclear fuel for its weapons development program, and the “nuclear deal enables them [Iran] to develop a nuclear arsenal,” he underlined.
Netanyahu said he discussed the issue with British Prime Minister Theresa May earlier in the day, and he intends to do the same when he meets with US President Donald Trump in Washington next week.

France’s Le Pen Wants to Ban Jewish Skullcaps to Fight Radical Islam
French nationalist Le Pen said French Jews should be banned from wearing a kippah (skullcap) as part of “the struggle against radical Islam.”
French nationalist Marine Le Pen vowed to put “France First” as she launched her presidential bid Sunday.
She outlined several of her campaign’s themes, including the fight against globalization and Muslim immigration into France, which she said threatens the country’s unique culture and identity.
Le Pen has repeatedly called to ban the wearing of the Muslim veil and the kippah, the Jewish religious head covering, on France’s streets.
Speaking to Israel’s Channel 2 news in an interview which aired Friday, she said French Jews should be banned from wearing a kippah as part of “the struggle against radical Islam.”
“Honestly, the dangerous situation in which Jews in France live is such that those who walk with a kippah are in any case a minority, because they are afraid,” Le Pen said, according to the Jewish Chronicle.

Palestinians Call for International Community to Act Against Israel
As the Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman traveled to Paris to rally opposition against Israel’s passing of a bill that prevents the demolition of Jewish homes, PA ministers called for the international community to act against Israel.
Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas said on Tuesday that the PA will seek grievances from international courts in response to Israel’s passing of legislation, known as the “Regulation Law,” on Monday evening.
“This legislation in contrary to international law,” Abbas said shortly after arriving in Paris on Tuesday. “We will continue our work with the international courts to protect our existence and our survival on Palestinian land.”
The bill prevents the demolition of communities in Judea and Samaria that are found ex-post facto by Israel’s High Court to have been built on private land. Instead, the land will be expropriated and the owners will be compensated.

Netanyahu: Israel Preventing Greater Refugee Crisis in Europe
Netanyahu told the visiting Belgian prime minister that Israel stands at the forefront of preventing a flow of “many more millions” of refugees into Europe.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel is preventing an even worse refugee crisis than the one Europe is currently facing, during a press conference on Tuesday with visiting Belgian counterpart Charles Michel.
“I think in a larger sense, Prime Minister, it’s important to recognize that Israel is the strongest force in the Middle East that prevents the collapse of the Western part of the Middle East,” Netanyahu said. “If that were to happen, we would have untold misery to many, many more millions of residents of the Middle East and a great increase flow to Europe.”

Bennett: Next War with Hamas Only A Matter of Time
Another war with Hamas is inevitable, Bennett says, adding that Israel must aim to destroy the terror regime completely.
Education Minister Naftali Bennett said Tuesday that another round of fighting with Hamas “is a question of when, not ‘if,’” adding that Israel must aim in the coming conflict to remove the terror group from power once and for all.
Speaking at a memorial service for Ella Abukasis, a 17-year-old girl who died when she was hit by a Kassam rocket from Gaza in 2005 as she shielded her 10-year-old brother from the attack, Bennett said that Israelis must be free to walk the streets without fear of missile attacks.
“This time we must score a definitive victory and not be satisfied with a tie that leaves Hamas able to rearm and plan the next round at its leisure,” Bennett stated. “Only by completely defeating the enemy can we put an end to neverending merry-go-round of attacks and ceasefires.”
Earlier Tuesday, Housing Minister Yoav Gallant, a decorated former general, said there was a high probability of another round of fighting with Hamas in the spring or early summer.

The Knesset passed the historic Regulation Law, legalizing 4000 Jewish ‘settlement’ homes in Judea and Samaria and protecting them from ownership claims by alleged landowners.
In a late-night session on Monday, Israel’s parliament voted in favor of the Regulation Law, legalizing Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria which were established with state involvement and possibly built on private land or land not owned by the state. The final vote was 60 to 52
The law, passed in its third and final reading, stipulates that communities built on private land or non-state-owned land will not be demolished. Rather, the land will be expropriated and the owner will be compensated.

UN Says Israel’s Historic Law Crosses 'Very Thick Red Line'
Several European officials conveyed remarks similar to those of a UN official, who referred to Israel’s passing of the Regulation Law as crossing a “very, very thick red line.”
The United Nations’ Coordinator for the Middle East peace process, Nickolay Mladenov, said on Tuesday that Israel’s passing of legislation known as the “Regulation Law” crossed a “very. very thick red line.”
“It crosses a very, very thick red line,” Mladenov said. “It opens the potential for the full annexation of the West Bank and therefore undermines substantially the two-state solution.”
The law prevents the future demolition of any homes in Judea and Samaria that are found ex-post facto by Israel’s High Court to have been built on private Palestinian land. The small community of Amona, which was located a short drive north of Jerusalem in the Binyamin region, was evacuated last week in accordance with a High Court ruling in 2014 that found it to have belonged to private owners.

Trump Says ISIS Terrorism Ignored By Media
President Donald Trump stated during a speech on Monday that terrorist acts in Europe are going unreported by the mainstream media.
“All over Europe it’s happening [acts of terrorism]. It’s gotten to a point where it’s not even being reported. And in many cases, the very, very dishonest press doesn’t want to report it. They have their reasons, and you understand that,” he stated.
Trump made his claim before a broad audience on live television, while speaking at Central Command headquarters in Florida.
On Air Force One, Trump spokesman Sean Spicer seemingly walked backed Trump’s remarks and said he did not really mean that terrorist attacks received no coverage. Trump’s actual complaint, he said, was that such acts don’t get enough attention.
“He felt that members of media don’t always cover some of those events to the extent that other events might get covered,” Spicer said. “Like a protest gets blown out of the water, and yet an attack or a foiled attack doesn’t necessarily get the same coverage.”

Netanyahu Working to Change Nuclear Deal with Iran
Netanyahu is seeking to alter the nuclear deal through an international coalition that will demand the changes.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is apparently leading an international effort to alter the Iran nuclear deal.
Speaking to Israel’s NRG news on Monday while boarding a plane back to Israel from the United Kingdom, Netanyahu said that the agreement, in it current form, enables the Iranians to develop an arsenal of tens of nuclear cores within a decade. “We must ensure this does not happen,” he told reporters.
Netanyahu stressed that the latest illicit ballistic missile test conducted by Iran was in breach of a UN Security Council resolution.
Iran requires nuclear fuel for its weapons development program, and the “nuclear deal enables them [Iran] to develop a nuclear arsenal,” he underlined.
Netanyahu said he discussed the issue with British Prime Minister Theresa May earlier in the day, and he intends to do the same when he meets with US President Donald Trump in Washington next week.

France’s Le Pen Wants to Ban Jewish Skullcaps to Fight Radical Islam
French nationalist Le Pen said French Jews should be banned from wearing a kippah (skullcap) as part of “the struggle against radical Islam.”
French nationalist Marine Le Pen vowed to put “France First” as she launched her presidential bid Sunday.
She outlined several of her campaign’s themes, including the fight against globalization and Muslim immigration into France, which she said threatens the country’s unique culture and identity.
Le Pen has repeatedly called to ban the wearing of the Muslim veil and the kippah, the Jewish religious head covering, on France’s streets.
Speaking to Israel’s Channel 2 news in an interview which aired Friday, she said French Jews should be banned from wearing a kippah as part of “the struggle against radical Islam.”
“Honestly, the dangerous situation in which Jews in France live is such that those who walk with a kippah are in any case a minority, because they are afraid,” Le Pen said, according to the Jewish Chronicle.

Israeli Minister: ‘From the Ruins of Amona, We Will Build’
As the Jewish community of Amona was set to be evacuated on Wednesday, Bennett said that new legislation will prevent similar occurrences in future.
Education Minister Naftali Bennett, chairman of the Knesset’s Jewish Home party, insisted that Israel will build throughout Judea and Samaria from the ruins of Wednesday’s evacuation of Amona, a Jewish community located a short drive north of Jerusalem in the Binyamin region.
“From the ruins of Amona we will build a new settlement,” Bennett said, addressing the Knesset plenum on Wednesday. “From its wreckage we will erect kindergartens all over Judea and Samaria.”
The original version of proposed legislation, known as the “Regulation Law,” would have prevented the evacuation of Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria, such as Amona, which have been found by Israel’s High Court to have been built on private Palestinian land. In light of concerns from coalition members that the original version threatened the legitimacy of Israel’s High Court, Bennett acquiesced to a moderated version of the bill that allowed for Amona’s evacuation to proceed.
Nevertheless, Bennett contended that the bill’s newer version will prevent such a scenario from recurring in other communities in Judea and Samaria.

The organization said that since British law permits prosecution of war criminals irrespective of where the alleged crimes were committed or the nationality of the offender, British authorities have a legal right to arrest him and should not refrain from doing so.

Some 3,000 policemen and members of other security branches participated in the operation, code-named “Locked Garden,” to remove the families from their homes and subsequently demolish the structures.
A small group of youth set fire to tires in an attempt to halt the evacuation. Others barricaded themselves inside the structures.
The residents themselves have repeatedly called for non-violent, passive resistance to the evacuation. Nine families left voluntarily, while others were dragged out by the police

Israeli Lawmaker Threatened with Arrest in UK
Anti-Israel activists in the UK are harassing an Israeli lawmaker, threatening him with arrest.
Member of Knesset (MK) Elazar Stern, currently on an anti-BDS speaking tour in the United Kingdom, was warned that he could be arrested on war-crimes charges.
Stern is a former general in the IDF.
On Tuesday, the Arab Organization for Human Rights in Britain called on police to arrest Stern, claiming he has been implicated in war crimes committed by soldiers under his command.
The organization said that since British law permits prosecution of war criminals irrespective of where the alleged crimes were committed or the nationality of the offender, British authorities have a legal right to arrest him and should not refrain from doing so.

Knesset Speaker Travels to US, will Discuss Moving Embassy
The Knesset Speaker will discuss Trump’s plan to move the US embassy to Jerusalem, containing Iranian threats and enhancing bilateral cooperation in meetings with congressional leaders during a US visit.
Speaker of the Knesset (Israel’s parliamentary body) Yuli Edelstein, flew to the US on Tuesday night for a visit in which he will help push to move forward with President Donald Trump’s previously stated plan to move the US embassy in Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
“I will call on my counterparts to support and work toward moving the US Embassy to Israel’s capital, Jerusalem,” Edelstein said before he left.
In an interview that aired last weekend, Trump told Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) that there is “certainly a chance” he will officially elect to move the US embassy, but committed to studying the issue “very long and hard” before making a final decision

For 3rd Time in A Month, Jewish Centers in US Get Bomb Threats
At least 17 Jewish community centers (JCC) across the US received bomb threats on Tuesday, the third time this month that the centers were threatened on the same day.
Locations of the targeted JCCs included Boulder, Colorado.; Albany and Syracuse, New York; West Orange, New Jersey; Milwaukee; San Diego, and Salt Lake City.
The JCC in New Haven, Connecticut, which is currently housed in several locations due to a fire last month, evacuated people from all of its facilities after receiving a live call just before noon. The New Haven JCC was one of more than 30 similarly threatened on January 18.

Trump: ‘Two Sides’ to Moving Embassy to Jerusalem, ‘Not Easy’
January 30, 2017
Conceding that the decision to move the US embassy to Jerusalem is “not easy,” Trump stressed that “there’s certainly a chance” he will do so, but there are ‘two sides to it’.
US President Donald Trump said that it’s certainly possible that he will follow through on his plan to move the US embassy in Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, in an interview over the weekend with CBN (Christian Broadcasting Network).
“There’s certainly a chance of it, absolutely,” Trump said when asked about the move. “I’ve always liked the concept of doing it, I’ll tell you that.”
He also acknowledged that Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama did not answer the call in the Jerusalem Embassy Act, passed by Congress in 1995, to have the US embassy in Tel Aviv moved to Jerusalem. The bill allows the president to sign a waiver every six months for “national security interests,” which indefinitely postpones the move.

Saudi: ‘Palestinian Cause’ is No Longer Arabs’ Primary Co
Saudi Journalist: The ‘Palestinian Cause’ is No Longer the Arabs’ Primary Concern
A Saudi journalist criticized Palestinian factions that advocate armed and violent resistance against Israel, calling it political suicide.
For decades, the Palestinians have relied on the Arab world for support in their war against Israel, and at times it did seem that the war against Israel was the focal point of the Arab world.
However, the Middle East has undergone drastic changes in the past five years, and with these changes, the Arab world has apparently recalibrated its world view and priorities.
For instance, in his January 2, 2017, column in the official Saudi daily Al-Jazirah, titled “The Palestinians Have No [Choice] But Peace,” journalist Muhammad Aal Al-Sheikh criticized Palestinian factions that advocate armed and violent resistance. Rejecting the option of peace is political suicide, he said.
Al-Sheikh called on the Palestinians to realize that the two-state solution is the only feasible option and that it is backed by most of the world’s countries – especially given the existing circumstances. The US Congress is expressing pro-Israel positions, and the Arab world, preoccupied with more pressing crises, no longer seems intensely concerned with the Palestinian cause.
A stubborn insistence on armed resistance will only end up hurting the Palestinians themselves, he argued, adding that Israel is currently a diplomatic powerhouse and enjoys the staunch support of the strong world powers.
“In light of this, it can be said that relying on armed resistance to confront all of these global powers, while making the option of peace, especially the two-state solution, a more remote possibility – as implied by the statements of radical Palestinians nationalists and of those purporting to be devout – constitutes a kind of political suicide that only political ignoramuses [can] condone,” the journalist wrote, according to a translation by MEMRI (Middle East Media Research Institute).

Priebus: No Regrets that Trump Excluded Jews from Holocaust Statement
The White House chief of staff continued to defend Trump’s statement on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, which did not mention the Jewish victims.
White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus said he has no regrets regarding President Donald Trump’s statement for International Holocaust Remembrance Day, which did not mention the Jewish victims.
“The Final Solution was aimed solely at the Jews. The Holocaust was about the Jews. There is no ‘proud’ way to offer a remembrance of the Holocaust that does not reflect that simple, awful world historical fact. To universalize it to, quote, ‘All those who suffered,’ is to scrub the Holocaust of its meaning,” wrote Commentary magazine columnist John Podhoretz.
Several Jewish organizations also objected to the wording.
Speaking on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday, Priebus said that the Holocaust was “obviously a miserable time in history that we remember here at the White House and certainly will never forget the Jewish people that suffered in World War II. And obviously still incredible wounds that remain in a time in history that was of great, incredible, horrific magnitude. And everyone’s heart here is impacted by the memory of that terrible time.”
However, he stressed that he did not regret the statement.

A shooting attack on a mosque in Quebec City during evening prayers left six people dead and eight injured. One person remains under arrest for what Canada’s prime minister called an act of terrorism.
Two students at Quebec’s Université Laval were initially arrested for the slaughter. They were identified as Mohamed Khadir, of Moroccan origin, and Alexandre Bissonnette.
Later reports indicated that only Bissonnette remained a suspect and that Khadir was merely a witness.
Witnesses said the masked killers shouted Allahu Akbar [“God is greater” in Arabic] in what sounded like Quebecois accents as they went on the rampage.
Others say that Bissonnette is a white supremacist who disliked foreigners and specifically attacked Muslims.

Palestinians Demand UN Apologize for Saying King Solomon's Temple Was Jewish
“It’s clear as the sun is clear that the Temple, which was demolished by the Romans, is a Jewish temple,” said Guterres.
United Nations (UN) Secretary-General António Guterres took office only a few weeks ago, but he has already managed to anger the Palestinians, who are demanding that he apologize for remarks he made about the Jewish connection to Jerusalem.
Israel Radio reported on Sunday that Guterres stated that, “It’s clear as the sun is clear that the Temple, which was demolished by the Romans, is a Jewish temple.”
Adnan al-Huseini, the Palestinian Minister for Jerusalem affairs, told the Chinese Xinhua news agency that “he (Guterres) neglected the UNESCO resolutions, which clearly said that the al-Aqsa Mosque is purely an Islamic heritage.”
He was referring to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) resolution from October which ignores Judaism’s connection to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.
Al-Huseini added that Guterres’ remarks “are a violation to all human, diplomatic and legal rules and laws and a violation to his position as the secretary-general,” adding “he (Guterres) should apologize to the Palestinian people for his remarks.”
However, Guterres, who took office stated that “no one can deny the truth that Jerusalem is holy for the three major religions.”

Netanyahu Seeks to Legalize 'Settlements' in Judea and Samaria
With Prime Minister Netanyahu’s support, the Knesset is set to reconsider a bill that would legalize thousands of homes in Judea and Samaria in the face of a scheduled evacuation in early February.
The Knesset is scheduled to reconsider a bill on Monday that will officially legalize approximately 4,000 housing units in Judea and Samaria.
“Tomorrow we will submit to the Knesset what is being called ‘the regulation law,'” Netanyahu said at his weekly Cabinet meeting on Sunday. “The law is designed to normalize the status of Jewish settlement in Judea and Samaria once and for all and prevent recurrent attempts to harm the settlement enterprise.”
The Regulation Law, which had been unanimously approved by the ministerial committee in November, was introduced in order to prevent the evacuation of Jewish communities that are determined ex-post facto by Israel’s High Court to have been built on private Palestinian land.

Why Israel is Ranked As One of World’s 8 Great Powers for 2017
The prestigious American Interest, in its annual ranking of the World’s eight great powers, has added Israel to the list for the first time.
“This year there’s a new name on our list of the Eight Greats: Israel,” American Interest (AI), a non-partisan quarterly, stated in its latest issue.
AI describes Israel as “a small country in a chaotic part of the world, Israel is a rising power with a growing impact on world affairs.”
“Although 2016 saw the passage of yet another condemnation of Israel at the United Nations, this time in the Security Council thanks to an American decision to abstain rather than veto, overall the Jewish state continues to develop diplomatic, economic and military power and to insert itself into the heart of regional politics.”
AI cites three factors that are empowering Israel: economic developments, the regional crisis and diplomatic ingenuity.
“But for now at least, Israel can afford to ignore the dismal croaking of the previous American administration. One of a small handful of American allies to be assiduously courted by the Trump campaign, Israel begins 2017 as the keystone of a regional anti-Iran alliance, a most-favored-nation in the White House, and a country that enjoys good relations with all of the world’s major powers bar Iran. Theodore Herzl would be astonished to see what his dream has grown into; David Ben-Gurion would be astounded by the progress his poor and embattled nation has made,” AI concludes.
The US ranked first, followed by Japan and China, who tied for second place, followed by Russia, Germany, India and Iran ahead of Israel.

AI describes Israel as “a small country in a chaotic part of the world, Israel is a rising power with a growing impact on world affairs.”
“Although 2016 saw the passage of yet another condemnation of Israel at the United Nations, this time in the Security Council thanks to an American decision to abstain rather than veto, overall the Jewish state continues to develop diplomatic, economic and military power and to insert itself into the heart of regional politics.”
AI cites three factors that are empowering Israel: economic developments, the regional crisis and diplomatic ingenuity.
“But for now at least, Israel can afford to ignore the dismal croaking of the previous American administration. One of a small handful of American allies to be assiduously courted by the Trump campaign, Israel begins 2017 as the keystone of a regional anti-Iran alliance, a most-favored-nation in the White House, and a country that enjoys good relations with all of the world’s major powers bar Iran. Theodore Herzl would be astonished to see what his dream has grown into; David Ben-Gurion would be astounded by the progress his poor and embattled nation has made,” AI concludes.
The US ranked first, followed by Japan and China, who tied for second place, followed by Russia, Germany, India and Iran ahead of Israel.

Trump to Cut UN Funding over anti-Israel Activities, Support of Palestinians
Trump is preparing an order to hold funding from international bodies that act against US and Israeli interests.
The Trump administration is preparing executive orders that would clear the way to drastically reduce US funding to the United Nations and other international organizations, targeting specifically bodies that are anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian, the New York Times reported Wednesday.
American funding accounts for 22 percent of the UN budget.
The first of the two draft orders, titled “Auditing and Reducing U.S. Funding of International Organizations” and obtained by the New York Times, calls for terminating funding for any United Nations agency or other international body that meets any one of several criteria.
Those criteria include organizations that give full membership to the Palestinian Authority (PA) or Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) or support programs that fund any activity that circumvents sanctions against Iran or North Korea.
The PA has joined several international bodies, from where it wages campaigns against the Jewish State.

Abbas Warns: ‘Dangerous Consequences’ Over Jewish Housing Units
Abbas is seeking help from the international community to halt Israeli construction in Judea and Samaria.
Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas warned of “dangerous consequences” if Israel goes ahead with its announced plan to build another 2,500 housing units in Judea and Samaria, Israel Radio reported Thursday morning.
Abbas, who made his remarks at a meeting with his Fatah party in Ramallah, said the PA would launch a diplomatic campaign with international forums to address the issue.
Earlier this week, Saeb Erekat, secretary-general of the Palestine Liberation Organization, demanded that the “international community…hold Israel accountable immediately for what it is doing.”
Erekat and PLO executive committee member Hanan Ashrawi said Israel was emboldened by US President Donald Trump to follow through with such a move.
“It is evident that Israel is exploiting the inauguration of the new American administration,” Ashrawi charged.
