‘This Isn’t A Show’: Netanyahu Says He May Go It Alone On Striking Iran, Doesn’t Need America’s Approval To Make Decision

11/07/2012 1 comment

By JODI RUDOREN, The New York Times -“JERUSALEM — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday reiterated his willingness to attack the Iranian nuclear programwithout support from Washington or the world, returning to an aggressive posture that he had largely abandoned since his United Nations speech in September.

‘When David Ben-Gurion declared the foundation of the state of Israel, was it done with American approval?’ Mr. Netanyahu asked in an interview broadcast on Israel’s Channel 2 on Monday night. ‘When Levi Eshkol was forced to act in order to loosen the siege before 1967, was it done with the Americans’ support?

‘If someone sits here as the prime minister of Israel and he can’t take action on matters that are cardinal to the existence of this country, its future and its security, and he is totally dependent on receiving approval from others, then he is not worthy of leading,’ Mr. Netanyahu added. ‘I can make these decisions.’

Though American officials, including President Obama, have always acknowledged that Israel ultimately has the right to decide how to defend itself, Mr. Netanyahu’s tough tone and timing — on the eve of the American presidential election — are sure to reignite rifts with Washington over how best to prevent Tehran from developing a nuclear bomb.

As has been the case over the past two years, however, it is impossible to know whether his hawkish words are harbingers of deeds or part of a strategic campaign to scare nations into increasing economic and diplomatic pressure on Iran.

‘I am not eager to go to war,’ Mr. Netanyahu said in the seven-minute interview. ‘I have been creating very heavy pressure, and part of this pressure comes from the knowledge some of the most powerful nations in the world have that we are serious. This isn’t a show, this is not false.’

Besides the creation of diplomatic tensions if Israel were to act alone against Washington’s wishes, there is a more practical concern: the Israeli military lacks the capacity to penetrate all of Iran’s underground nuclear facilities, and thus could most likely only delay the potential development of a nuclear weapon by a few years. The United States has bunker-busting bombs that could do far more damage.” Read more.

Muslim Brotherhood: Obama Needs To ‘Accept The Will Of The Arab People’

11/07/2012 Leave a comment

Odd, isn’t it, that the Muslim Brotherhood viewed Barack Obama as being “biased” toward Israeli interests, despite the fact that Obama has been the most hostile American President toward Israel in recent memory. I’d hate to imaging what it would take for Obama to receive the full approval of Egypt’s new Islamist government …

“WASHINGTON (CBSDC/AP) — Islamists in the Middle East are speaking out following President Barack Obama’s re-election Tuesday night.

The Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood feels that the only foreign policy change Obama can bring is by ‘accepting the will of the Arab people.’

‘We must rely on ourselves and on our resources and build our country,’ Issam Al-Aryan, a top Muslim Brotherhood official, said, according to The Times of Israel. ‘In the absence of direct American influence, Egypt can affect and lead the process of building a democratic and constitutional regime that will become a dream for African and the southern hemisphere.’

Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood wants to make Shariah Law the main source of the country’s new constitution.

Terror group Hamas is calling for Obama not to be ‘biased’ toward Israeli interests during his second term.

‘We heard moderate speech from Obama following his first term victory, but his policy was inconsistent with the speeches he gave in Egypt and Turkey,’ Taher Nunu, a Hamas government spokesman, said, according to The Times of Israel. ‘He now has an opportunity to implement those promises to the nations of the region, far from pressures by the Israel lobby and politicized money.’

Iran wants Obama to force Israel to get rid of its nuclear weapons.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned Iran of a possible military strike if the Tehran regime continues its efforts in building a nuclear weapon.” Source – CBS.

That Didn’t Take Long: Palestinians Congratulate Obama, Already Demand Promised Support For Statehood Bid

11/07/2012 Leave a comment

By STUART WINER, Times of Israel – “Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Wednesday issued a statement congratulating US President Barack Obama on his election victory and encouraging him to continue his efforts to achieve peace in the Middle East.

Chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said he hoped Obama’s second term in office would see the establishment of a Palestinian state. Erekat added that, with the Palestinians determined to bid for nonmember state status at the UN this month, he expected the president to show support for the move.

‘We have decided to take the Palestinian issue to the UN and we hope that Obama will stand by this Palestinian right,’ Erekat said. ‘What Obama needs to do is stop the Israeli settlement policy and not act to stop the Palestinian activity at the UN.’

Palestinian rival Hamas called on Obama to alter his country’s foreign policy concerning Arab and Palestinian affairs. The group’s spokesman urged the president to stop favoring Israel and examine the ‘Palestinians’ legal rights.’

Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi said he trusted Obama would use his second term to act in the best interests of the US and Egypt.

In a telegram of congratulations released by the official news agency MENA, Morsi said he hoped for a ‘strengthening of the friendship between the two countries to serve their common interests, namely justice, freedom and peace.'” Read more.

And when the Egyptian President refers to the “common interests” of “justice, freedom and peace” make no mistake about it: Morsi is referring to the elimination of free-speech and the “liberation” of Jerusalem from the Zionist entity known as Israel …

PA to Push for UN Nonmember Status This Month, Abbas Confirms – “The Palestinians will push forward with their bid for nonmember status at the United Nations in November, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said on Tuesday. In a meeting with Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Amman, Abbas told Lavrov that the PA would submit its request for nonmember status to the 193-member UN General Assembly. The move would essentially provide non-binding international recognition of a Palestinian state. After the meeting, the PA’s chief negotiator Saeb Erekat said Lavrov had expressed support for the PA’s diplomatic bid, Ynet reported.” Read more.

Pakistan: Christian Pastor Telling Christians Not To Participate In Islamic Feast Is Jailed For Blasphemy, Threatened With Death

11/07/2012 2 comments

Acts 15:29, “You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols … You will do well to avoid these things.”

1 Corinthians 10:19-21, “… the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God, and I do not want you to be participants with demons. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord’s table and the table of demons.”

All meat consumed by Muslims is to be Halal, and in order for meat to be considered Halal the animal must be sacrificed in the name of Allah.  According to Biblical Scripture, Allah is a false god. False gods are idols. And as we can see from the verses above, God has a few things to say to His children when it comes to food that has been sacrificed to idols: don’t eat it …

Sacrificed For The Islamic Deity "Allah"

Sacrificed For The Islamic Deity “Allah”

By Stoyan Zaimov , Christian Post – “A pastor in Pakistan has been denied bail after he was accused of blasphemy and arrested by police, who protected him from a mob of angry Muslims.

Karma Patras was originally arrested on Oct. 13, after he held a prayer meeting at a Christian family’s house in Sanghla Hill in central Punjab province, where he was asked about the meaning and relevance of the Muslim feast of sacrifice, Eid-al-Adha. The festival, celebrated by Muslims throughout the world, honors the sacrifice to God Abraham was willing to make by offering his first-born son Ishmael, as found in the Book of Genesis. [ICA Comment: A typical Islamic distortion. The sacrifice was not of Ishmael in Genesis, but of Isaac, cf. Gen. 22:2].

As reported by persecution watchdog International Christian Voice, Pastor Patras said that the feast was strictly a Muslim one and was forbidden for Christians. Patras quoted Corinthians 10:28-29, which says: ‘But if anyone says to you, ‘This was offered to idols,’ do not eat it for the sake of the one who told you, and for conscience’ sake; for ‘the earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness. ‘Conscience,’ I say, not your own, but that of the other. For why is my liberty judged by another man’s conscience?’

Muslims were also listening in on his answers, however, and told others about Patras’ explanation. When the pastor returned home from the prayer gathering, he was threatened by angry Muslim clerics who wanted to punish him for speaking out against the celebration of Eid-al-Adha.

The imams apparently organized an angry mob, who called Patras an infidel who has blasphemed against Islam and should be killed, attacking the pastor’s house. Police apparently rushed to the scene to try and save Patras from the beating and his house from being destroyed, but at the same time arrested him under suspicion of blasphemy.” Read more.

Waiting For The Apocalypse? A Military Nuclear Iran Is Now Pretty Much A Done Deal

11/07/2012 1 comment

By Prof. Louis René Beres, Op-Ed INN – “After too many years of delay and self-delusion concerning Tehran’s atomic intentions and capabilities, a militarily nuclear Iran is now pretty much a fait accompli.

For a distinctly identifiable period of time, selective preemptions against certain Iranian nuclear assets and corollary infrastructures could have made strategic sense. Now, for Israel, the country most directly threatened by these portentous enemy developments, self-defense options will be limited to mostly reactive counter-measures. Above all, this means fashioning critically improved nuclear deterrence, and also conspicuously-expanding programs for ballistic-missile defense.

Although never discussed publicly, these remaining options will likely announce an end to Israel’s longstanding policy of ‘deliberate nuclear ambiguity,’ or the so-called ‘bomb in the basement.’ Included, too, will be substantial engineering improvements to the Arrow, Iron Dome, and (later) Magic Wand missile interceptors. There will also be parallel and reinforcing efforts aimed very specifically at enhanced national plans for intelligence, counterintelligence, and cyber-defense. In military parlance, because these plans will be intersecting and inter-penetrating, or ‘synergistic,’ they will represent powerful ‘force multipliers.’

A successful and timely preemption might once have prevented a nuclear Iran. Similarly, Israel’s defensive anti-missile programs could become useful as an important adjunct to nuclear deterrence. This would come about because the rationality of any contemplated Iranian attack upon Israel could be affected by Israel’s deployed hard-target protections. In essence, with capable Israeli ballistic missile defenses in place, Teheran could require a steadily increasing number of offensive missiles just to ensure its necessary penetration capacity.

It is true, of course, that Israel’s active defenses could also provide certain limited protections for civilian populations or ‘soft’ targets, but any such post-attack benefits would be far less important than those gains associated with improved nuclear deterrence.

Whether rational, irrational, or ‘mad’ – and there are genuinely vital differences between these three decisional possibilities – any nuclear-capable Iranian leadership that inclines toward military conflict with the ‘Zionist Entity’ could Read more…

Reality: Eight Reasons Why You Are Not Safer Today Than You Were Four Years Ago

11/06/2012 1 comment

Proverbs 12:15a, “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes …”

"The Holy Qur'an says ..."

“The Holy Qur’an says …”

By Robert Spencer – “Are you safer from the global jihad and Islamic supremacism than you were four years ago? Over the last four years, Barack Obama has:

  • Warmly supported the ‘Arab Spring’ revolutions in Egypt, Tunisia, and Libya (the latter with military aid) that heralded the installation of pro-Sharia Islamic supremacist regimes in each. These regimes are already oppressing women and non-Muslims and striving to outdo their predecessors in anti-Americanism. The Muslim Brotherhood government in Egypt, meanwhile, is giving out strong and repeated hints that the Camp David Accords, and Egypt’s uneasy but 30-year-old peace with Israel, are not long for this world.
  • Refused to say a single positive word about the uprising against the bloody Islamic regime in Iran, ostensibly on the grounds that American support would doom the uprising to failure – a possibility that never gave him pause in his rush to praise the Egyptian, Libyan, and Tunisian uprisings. He thus missed an opportunity to weaken and destabilize, at the very least, a rogue regime that is relentlessly pursuing development of nuclear weapons and has made no secret of its genocidal intentions toward Israel.
  • Displayed repeated contempt for Israel and its prime minister, thereby drastically weakening the U.S.’s relationship with its only ally in the Middle East and encouraging jihadists who have vowed to destroy the Jewish state – not least in the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Expert: With Nothing To Lose, A Barack Obama Second-Term Victory Will Mean ‘Bad News For Israel’

11/06/2012 Leave a comment

By Elad Benari, INN – “A second term for President Barack Obama could be bad news for Israel, according to Prof. Eytan Gilboa, Director of the Center for International Communication at Bar Ilan University and an expert on U.S.-Israel relations.

‘I am concerned that if Obama and Netanyahu are both re-elected, Israeli -U.S. relations are expected to go through a difficult period, for at least the first year of Obama’s second term,’ Gilboa told Arutz Sheva on Sunday.

He noted the bad blood been between Obama and Netanyahu during Obama’s first term and added that he believes that, given the fact that a second-term president has nothing to lose since he cannot run again, Obama will remember all the setbacks between him and Netanyahu. Gilboa added that Obama will particularly remember the feeling that exists today in the United States, according to which Netanyahu publicly endorsed Republican candidate Mitt Romney.

Gilboa noted that it does not matter whether Netanyahu indeed supported Romney or not, since the main point is how things are interpreted in the U.S. The fact thatRomney used Netanyahu as part of his campaign and the fact that they both have the same donors and supporters, such as Sheldon Adelson, strengthen the feeling that Netanyahu was on Romney’s side and not Obama’s, he said.

‘I spoke with some members of Obama’s staff they feel that Netanyahu, in all kinds of moves he made, showed more enthusiasm for Romney than for Obama,’ he said. ‘They made the connections that Netanyahu was on Romney’s side, no matter the reality.’

… Obama’s essential tie with Romney is a real achievement for the president, who is entering election day with a low level of public confidence, with zero growth in the U.S. economy and unemployment at close to eight percent.

‘In such a reality, the fact that he is shoulder to shoulder with Romney is considered an achievement,’ said Gilboa, adding, ‘In any normal election Romney should win with ease. The fact that this is not happening shows Romney’s weakness.'” Read more.

Anti-Al Qaeda Libyans Reveal Obama Administration Helped Al-Qaeda In Benghazi, Ret. US General: ‘Obama Must Be Held Responsible’

See the flashback links at the end of the article. Should we be surprised by any of this? …

By CHRISTOPHER COLLINS, Examiner – “Walid Shoebat, a former Muslim Brotherhood member now peace activist broke news Saturday night that anti-Al Qaeda Libyans living in exile are in possession of highly classified documents that reveal Obama and his administration’s involvement with Al-Qaeda in Libya, more than what has been previously known.

The anti-Al Qaeda Libyans told Shoebat in reference to Obama’s statements that Al-Qaeda had been destroyed that Obama had gift-wrapped Libya, handed it over to Al-Qaeda, and that they can prove it.

The group plans to turn over the countless documents an intelligence to the National Center For Intelligence and Counter-Terrorism.

The group informed Shoebat that what they have will bring down the Obama administration and that they are not kidding. In fact, they provided Shoebat the first installments of the documents that Shoebat reported on October 31, 2012. They said that the rest will be provided when Mitt Romney is in office and they further said, ‘His election is our only hope for humanity’.

‘These documents includes evidence of highly sophisticated weaponry provided to jihadists which leads them to doubt that any solutions will take place under what they called ‘The Obama regime’,’ the group said.

‘We have come into the possession of an array of records obtained from top-level sources inside the Libyan government,’ the anti-Al Qaeda Libyans said. ‘They include passports of Al-Qaeda operatives and identifications of terrorists from many nations—Chad, Egypt and Pakistan to name a few—which are now all camped in Libya as they enter by crossing borders guarded and managed officially by what they called ‘government appointed Al-Qaeda leaders.’

Indonesia: Muslim Pressure Closes Another Christian Church In West Java

By Jeremy Reynalds, Christianity Today – “Authorities in Bandung, West Java sealed shut the worship building of an Indonesian Christian Church (Huria Kristen Indonesia, or HKI) congregation on Oct. 23 after prominent Muslims persuaded residents to withdraw their signatures of approval for it, a pastor said.

According to a story by Morning Star News, Rev. Hari Hutagulung said that the church had gathered the signatures of 77 area Muslims in order for the 20-year-old church to apply for the proper building/use permit.

Sixty non-Christian signatures are required under Indonesian law. However, prominent Muslims persuaded many of them to withdraw their signatures, and police sealed the building last week, he said…

‘The problem arose when HKI officials began contacting all the citizens regarding the church,’ Hutagulung said. ‘There were citizens who rejected the presence of a church.’

France: ‘Local Youths’ Arrested After Severely Beating Jewish Family In Marseille, Vow To Come Back And ‘Finish The Job’

11/05/2012 1 comment

By Chana Ya’ar, INN – “The father of a Jewish family was badly beaten and the family home was completely trashed on Sunday by local youths in Marseille, France.

Residents in their Jewish neighborhood are stunned following the incident.

Marseilles is home to some 80,000 Jews – 10 percent of the general population but a small fraction compared to the 250,000 Muslims with whom they also live. It has been relatively quiet France’s second-largest city this year, compared to other areas in the country where violent anti-Semitism has been on the rise.

Last month the SPCJ (Service de Protection de la Communaute Juive) security agency for French Jewry reported a 45 percent rise in anti-Semitic attacks since 2011, mostly by Muslims.

This incident began when two youths parked their car in a Jewish family’s private garage.

When the family saw the unfamiliar vehicle they called police, and the car was towed. Upon finding their vehicle gone and learning it had been towed, the youths became angry.

They returned with a gang of friends to exact their revenge upon the hapless family. The gang broke into the home, severely beat up the father of the family and destroyed the rest of the house.

According to local sources, one of the youths reportedly attempted to murder the father. Neighbors heard the family’s screams coming from the home and called police, who arrested the attackers. Upon leaving the scene, the attackers promised to ‘finish the job,’ according to local media reports.” Read more.

Islamic Cleric Linked To Al-Qaeda Endorses Barack Obama For President, US Military Leaders Back Romney

When the enemies of America back one Presidential candidate over another, this should be a good hint of who America ought not to vote for …

‘You know what ‘Baraka’ means in Arabic? Blessing,’ said veteran Islamist leader Hassan al-Turabi, who served as the secretary-general of the Islamic Charter Front, a political arm of the Muslim Brotherhood that advocated an Islamic constitution and opposed western secularism.

‘Obama of course,’ Turabi told AFP, when asked about his U.S. presidential preference during an interview.

‘Time Is Running Out’: US Congressman Asks Why Churches In The West Are Silent On Worldwide Christian Persecution

11/04/2012 21 comments

I can think of a few reasons why: It’s convenient to ignore an inconvenient topic. It makes many comfortable Christians uncomfortable. And if the truth were made known it could even cause some of them to begin questioning a few of the popular doctrines currently being taught by the church today which are, for many Christians in the West, unquestionable …

By Lillian Kwon, Christian Post Reporter – “Congressman Frank Wolf, who has been a champion of human rights, is hard pressed to understand why U.S. churches are silent when it comes to advocating for persecuted Christians.

The Republican Virginia rep. specifically called out big-name pastors such as Rick Warren and John Piper for their non-activity, especially at a time when Christians and other religious minorities in Syria and Egypt are at greater risk for persecution.

‘The church in the West is relatively silent,’ Wolf said on ‘The Janet Mefferd Show’ this week. ‘Where are the (Dietrich) Bonhoeffers (20th century German Lutheran pastor who stood against Nazi dictatorship)? Where’s Rick Warren? Where’s John Piper? Where are the people? Why aren’t they speaking out on this?

‘I just have a hard time wondering why more in the West are not speaking out.’

Since last year, Wolf has been pushing for a special envoy at the State Department that would focus exclusively on the plight of religious minorities in South Central Asia and the Middle East. While his legislation (H.R. 440) passed in the House last year, it has been on hold in the Senate.

According to Wolf, the State Department urged Sen. Jim Webb (D-Va.) to oppose the Senate version of the bill until a hearing is held.

Wolf said he welcomes the hearing but Sen. John Kerry, chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, has never held it.

‘I am concerned that time is running out – both in terms of the legislative calendar for this year and in terms of the plight of these communities,’ Wolf said in a statement last week.

Some 8 million Coptic Christians in Egypt are living in fear, he said, as the Muslim Brotherhood majority government drafts its new constitution, which is expected to have Islamic Sharia law as its foundation.

Tens of thousands of people have been killed in Syria where Sunni Muslim rebels are targeting Christians, forcing many to flee the region.

‘I’m not surprised that the Obama administration is opposed to this (legislation) but where’s the church in the West?’ Wolf lamented. ‘I would’ve thought the church would’ve just been up in arms.’

‘We have no one advocating for them (religious minorities),’ he added. ‘The Coptic Christian community can’t understand why the West doesn’t advocate.'” Source – Christian Post.
