Defense
Minister Moshe Ya'alon, said in private that "The American security
plan presented to us is not worth the paper it's written on. It contains
no peace and no security. Only our continued presence in Judea and Samaria and the River Jordan will endure that Ben-Gurion Airport and Netanya don't become targets for rockets from every direction." "The moment we leave Judea and Samaria
he (PA President Mahmoud Abbas) is finished. In reality, there have
been no negotiations between us and the Palestinians for all these
months - but rather between us and the Americans. The only thing that
can 'save us' is for John Kerry to win a Nobel Prize and leave us in
peace." (Ya'alon should not apologize for speaking the truth! Have you ever heard of a US apology to Israel
for unfair political pressure, betrayal or blunt disrespect?
Ironically and quite predictably apology, not the substance and merit of
his statement, has become the major international news. There is no reason to worry that Ya'alon caused harm to US-Israel ties - the relationship can't get worse.)
Former defense secretary Robert Gates had such contempt for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he even tried to have him banned from the White House. "I was offended by his glibness
and his criticism of US policy - not to mention his arrogance and
outlandish ambition - and I told national security adviser Brent
Scowcroft that Bibi (Netanyahu) ought not be allowed back on White House
grounds," Gates reportedly claims in his autobiography. (Netanyahu should demand an apology from Gates and the Obama administration. Friendship is two-way street!)
Defense
Minister Moshe Ya'alon was forced to apologize for his private remarks
about Secretary of State John Kerry. During the same week, Iran 's deputy foreign minister Abbas Araghchi said the US President was not telling the truth in stating that Iran would
dismantle a key part of its nuclear program. The White House response
(brush-off) - Never mind what the Iranians say; it's what they do that
matters - a freedom evidently denied Israel. (Araghchi most likely was telling the truth that Obama administration is lying about the negotiation and treaty with Iran. But, Ya'alon most definitely has exposed the reality of US conduct as an 'honest' peace broker and Kerry's 'inspirations'!)
US
Vice President Joe Biden when he met Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu
Monday night, Jan. 13, refused to disclose details of agreements which
the Americans claimed were reached by the six powers and Iran in their talks earlier this week on the implementation of their first-stage Geneva accord. In the light of the conflicting versions coming out the White House and Tehran Israel is left wondering if US-led international nuclear diplomacy has achieved anything or just allowed Iran come closer to development of a nuclear bomb. (Real friends are supposed to share vital information. But, the US imprisoned Pollard for doing this and is still playing 'high diplomacy' with the life of Jews in Israel!)
The Nov. 24 deal between Iran and the six powers - the US, Britain, France , Russia, China and Germany - aims to freeze (not to stop or destroy like Syrian chemical weapon program) Iran's nuclear progress for six months. When officials from Iran
and the world powers announced that they had completed the
implementing agreement, they didn't release the text of the deal, nor
did they acknowledge the existence of an informal addendum. A US officials said that Iran
would be allowed to continue existing research and development projects
and with pencil-and-paper design work, but not to advance research with
new projects.
Food for Thought by Steven Shamrak
The UN's resources are stretched thin as it is struggling to feed and
keep safe millions of refugees and displaced people in conflict zones
such as Iraq, Syria, Southern Sudan, C.A.R or Mali (all Islam-inflamed
conflicts). For over 66 years the 'Ugly Nothing' have been deliberately
wasting billions of dollars each year on perpetuating the existence of
fake Palestinian refugees, 3rd and 4th generation already - 'professional refugees', in order to undermine the legitimacy of the Jewish state's existence.
'Useless Nothing' has done it Again - Syria Talks in Disarray
UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon said on Sunday that he had invited
Iran, President Bashar al-Assad's main backer, to attend the first day
of talks. This prompted Syria's main political opposition group in
exile, the Istanbul-based National Coalition, to threaten to boycott the
talks, dubbed Geneva II, less than 48 hours after they've signaled
approval to participate.
Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that a "Jew-free" Palestinian
state, now being contemplated in peace talks, would be tantamount to
ethnic cleansing. There are Arabs who live here (Israel
), but they can't contemplate Jews living there (PA controlled areas).
He said that rather than the issue of settlements, the crux of the
disagreement is the PA's refusal to recognize a Jewish state. "It's not
about settlements, it's not about territory, and it's not even about a
Palestinian state, which we agreed right from the start to recognize.
It's about a Jewish state. It's about survival of the state of Israel..." (The
transfer of Jews from proposed PA's state has already been accepted by
the international anti-Semites - several years ago 8,500 Jews were
deported from Gaza .
Therefore, an "Arab-free" Jewish state should also be an acceptable
viable option as Jews have all rights to create Eretz-Israel on all Jewish land rather than fake Palestinians or Arabs!)
A
Canadian judge ruled that grabbing a Jewish girl, flicking a lighter
next to her hair and saying "let's burn the Jew" is apparently not a
racially motivated act in Winnipeg
. A high school student grabbed a Jewish female classmate, held a
lighter to her hair and said out loud, "let's burn the Jew," but a
Canadian judge concluded that the incident was "not racially motivated."
The lawyer for the defendant claimed, essentially, it was the girl's
fault her hair caught on fire. (Would this
judge have come to the same conclusion if the same was done by a Jew to a
Christian or Muslim? What would be the reaction of the world?)
Two decades after deadly terror attacks in Argentina
's capital, former Israeli ambassador Itzhak Aviran said: "The large
majority of those responsible are no longer of this world, and we did it
ourselves." Two decades after the blasts, those who instigated them
have not been brought to justice. Neither Carlos Menem, who was Argentina
's president from 1989 to 1999, nor his successor Fernando de la Rua
and those who followed "did anything to get to the bottom of this
tragedy," Aviran said. (This is another proof that Israel is alone in the fight against global Islamic terror - Others just pretend, and they are not concerned when Jews are killed!)
Turkey Grows Closer to Iran
Turkey and Iran
seem to be boosting relations as the two countries continue to
exchange high-level visits. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan
is planning to visit Iran at the end of this month. In addition, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani is planning a visit to Turkey
in February. The countries are planning to increase trade, aiming for
$30 billion in the next few years, with a further possibility for $50b. ( Turkey is a corrupt Islamic state, which is helping enemies. It snubbed and betrayed allies at the beginning of the last war against Iraq . It must be expelled from NATO and have no chance for EU membership!)
Made in Israel : Instant Electricity from Aluminum and Water.
The
Israel Technion demonstrates its eco-friendly fuel cell that works
immediately when water is added into a container of activated Aluminum
powder. See it powering model boats and cars. It is 10-15 times more powerful than the equivalent Lithium-ion battery.
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency should be disbanded, MP and
former Canadian justice minister Irwin Cotler demanded. He also said
that Arab League should incorporate the question of Jewish refugees in
its framework for peace. "There is no reason why there should be one
separate body dealing with Palestinian refugees where all other refugees
in the world are under the jurisdiction of the United Nations
commissioner for refugees." Cotler insisted. (Good point - it is long over due! Did he make this demand when he held the position of Canadian justice minister?)
The
annual French wine competition awarded gold stars to all 8 of the
entries from Psagot Boutique Winery in the Binyamin hills. The Pesagot
winery was established in 2003 on the site of vineyards owned by Jews
since the Second Temple period.
Islamic Thugs Obama Supported
Mass
executions of civilians and of fighters who were no longer
participating in hostilities were reported in the northern cities of Aleppo, Idlib and Raqqa. They were carried out by armed opposition groups in Syria, in particular by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, said Ms. Pillay, the United Nations human rights chief.
Turkish
police arrested at least 23 people as part of raids against al-Qaida
targets, including the offices of the Humanitarian Relief Foundation
(IHH). IHH was behind the Mavi Marmara flotilla that sought to break Israel 's blockade of the Gaza Strip in May 2010. IHH is largely viewed as a state-sponsored NGO.
Israel Intercepted Rockets Fired from Gaza
Israel's Iron Dome missile defence system has intercepted five rockets fired at the city of Ashkelon from the Gaza Strip and the military responded with a series of air strikes on the Hamas-controlled territory. (Only reclaiming Gaza as Jewish land and clearing it from enemy population will stop terror attacks permanently)
Quotes of the Week:
"I think that the US has put Israel in a very tough situation, having to do with Iran. The United Stated has sworn to protect Israel - and what we're doing is certainly not protecting Israel and her people from massive destruction." "I think it's going to ultimately up to Israel to make a determination for what they need to do to protect themselves." "I don't think the Palestinians really want peace. I don't think they've really ever wanted peace; I think they want Israel." - Michael Reagan, son of former US President Ronald Reagan.
by David Lev
Pollard was imprisoned in 1987.
He has served longer than any other spy captured in the US .
In
recent years, several American officials - including former CIA
officials - have recommended releasing Pollard. Earlier this year, for
example, Lawrence Korb, United States Assistant Secretary of Defense
during the Jonathan Pollard affair, appealed to US officials to let
Pollard go. Commenting on the issue before a trip to Israel
earlier this year, Korb said that Pollard had paid a price for breaking
the law, but there is an element of disproportion in the punishment
that "goes against the principles I believe in as an American citizen."
Besides
Korb, Former Head of the CIA James Woolsey has called for Pollard to be
released. Speaking at a conference in November, Woolsey said that only
spies whose actions resulted in deaths were given the kind of sentence
Pollard got.
For
"regular" spies, he said, the sentence "is usually is only 6-7 years.
And if the fact that that Pollard is Jewish is what bothers the
President, then let him pretend that Pollard is a South Korean, a
Filipino-American or an ally from somewhere else. But he has been in
prison a long time now, and only people like (Aldrich) Ames or (Robert) Hanssen, who got people killed, get a sentence like that... and Pollard didn't do that."
