INCITES MUSLIMS TO LIBERATE JERUSALEM-BLAIRS SIS IN LAW
Blair’s Sister-in-Law Incites Muslims to Liberate Jerusalem -Laura Booth, sister-in-law of Quartet envoy Tony Blair, calls on Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt liberate Al-Quds [Jerusalem].by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu Published: 28/08/11, 7:53 AM
Laura Booth, sister-in-law of Quartet envoy Tony Blair, has called on Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt liberate Al-Quds [Jerusalem].The former British prime minister’s family member has previously sailed illegally to Gaza on a flotilla boat. She joined an anti-Israel rally in London Trafalgar’s Square, where another protest today (Sunday) may be the last as the mayor London vows to crack down on the incitement as the date for the next Olympics approaches.The Mayor believes that intolerance of our fellow citizens and hate crimes against specific communities are totally unacceptable, particularly in a city like London and especially in 2012 when the eyes of the world will be on the capital, said a spokesman for Mayor Boris Johnson, the London Jewish Chronicle reported.The spokesman added, The Greater London Authority will not be authorizing political rallies in Trafalgar Square during the Olympic and Paraolympic Games.The Trafalgar Square rallies against Israel have featured Hizbullah flags.During last week’s demonstration, Booth went on another rant against Israel.We say here today to you, Israel, we see your crimes and we loathe your crimes. And to us your nation does not exist, because it is a criminal injustice against humanity. We want to see Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt go to the borders and stop this now. Liberate Al Quds! March to Al Quds! Another speaker claimed, somewhat myopically as far as historical accuracy goes, that the only time that land has seen peace between Muslim, Christian and Jew living side by side was when sincere Islamic rulers ruled with justice.
During Ottoman Islamic rule, Jews were second-class citizens, called Dhimmis. The myth of their peaceful lives has been debunked by historians, although they were not subject to pogroms as frequently as European Jews..In fact, Jordan, during its occupation of the Old City and other parts of Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria between 1949 and 1967, denied Christians and Jews all access to holy sites except for visiting dignitaries.Israel opened up the sites to all religions after it restored the areas under its sovereignty in the Six-Day War in 1967.
Jews, the Temple Mount, and Missing Police Protocol-Police protocol regarding Jews and the Temple Mount: reasonable, discriminatory, or non-existent? by Maayana Miskin Published: 26/08/11, 12:02 PM
For years, activists have claimed that police are discriminating against Jews on the Temple Mount, the holiest site on earth according to Jewish tradition. Now, one police commander is arguing that police protocols regarding the Temple Mount are not discriminatory, but rather, do not exist at all.The latest development began with a lawsuit filed by Rabbi Yehudah Glick, who heads the Temple Mount Heritage Foundation in Jerusalem. Glick appealed over a police order barring him from the Temple Mount, arguing that the order, which prevented him from continuing his work as a tour guide on the Mount, violated his right to freedom of occupation.Police argued that Glick had been banned for good reason, after violating the rules for proper conduct in the area. However, when the judge asked to see the rules in question, police failed to produce them.Superintendent Avi Biton of the Jerusalem Police then told the court that police would be unable to produce the rules because there are no official rules.
The court ordered police to produce the rules or see Glick get free access to the holy site. For now, Rabbi Glick is allowed to access the Temple Mount under a temporary court order.Glick believes that police are arguing that they have no protocols in order to avoid a bigger embarrassment: having the protocols revealed as illegal. Senior police commanders know that their rules for Temple Mount access would not stand up in court due to their discriminatory nature, he explained.It's an outrage. The police are acting like the neighborhood bully, not the body responsible for public order,he accused.
German Town to Name Square after Rabbi-The town of Horb in Germany will name a square after Rabbi Avraham Schweizer, who was the town rabbi and died in the Holocaust.by Elad Benari Published: 26/08/11, 1:06 AM
A town near town near Stuttgart, Germany, will soon hold a ceremony in which a square will be named after Rabbi Dr. Avraham Schweizer, the district rabbi who perished along with most of his family in the Holocaust.The naming of the square after the rabbi was initiated by two gentile Germans who promoted the idea out of their appreciation for the rabbi and for the local Jewish culture.Rabbi Avraham Schweizer served as the district rabbi for 22 years until 1936. He was highly regarded among both the Jews in the area as well as their gentile neighbors. Rabbi Schweizer also served as rabbi of the surrounding Jewish villages.Barbara Staudacher and Heinz Hogerle, two gentiles from one of the villages which Rabbi Schweizer served, have made it their goal in the years since the end of the war to preserve the lost local Jewish culture.The two, who moved from Stuttgart to the village of Rexingen in 1999, found a Jewish cemetery at the top of the hill near their home. This discovery led them to begin exploring the local Jewish culture. They published their research in books and other printed material, thus helping to preserve the historical record and helping former residents of Rexingen connect with their own families’ past.
Staudacher and Hogerle approached the mayor of the town of Horb, a town in the southwest of the German state of Baden-Wurttemberg, where Rabbi Schweizer had served. They presented him with a request to name the square in front of the local synagogue, which was destroyed on Kristallnacht, after the rabbi. The city’s board of directors discussed the idea and approved the request. The official naming ceremony is scheduled for September 4 and will be attended by local residents, family members of the rabbi, and residents of Moshav Shavei Tzion in northern Israel, most of whom immigrated to Israel from that region of Germany.Rabbi Schweizer’s great-nephew, Meir Schweizer, told Arutz Sheva on Thursday that not much is known about Rabbi Schweizer’s work since not much written material from the period before the war remains and no Jews live in the area today. He said, however, that through testimonies of local residents as well as of Jews who lived there and made aliyah to Israel, it was possible to learn of the great respect people had towards the rabbi.Meir Schweizer also noted that the rabbi had great connections with the German government before the war and that these connections greatly assisted the communities he served.Rabbi Schweizer received in 1917 the Charlottenkreuz (Charlotte Cross), a decoration awarded to all persons who had acquired particular merit either in the field or at home in the care of the wounded and ill, or in the general area of war-related care provision.As for Barbara Staudacher and Heinz Hogerle, noted Meir Schweizer, the two of them have received the Obermayer German-Jewish History Awards, which are given annually to individuals who have made outstanding voluntary contributions toward preserving and recording the Jewish history, heritage, culture and/or remnants of local German communities.
Barak Not Denying Israel Wanted to Kill Haniyeh-Defense Minister won't deny reports that Israel was about to kill Hamas leader in Gaza when Egypt intervened.
by Gil Ronen Published: 28/08/11, 6:11 PM
Defense Minister Ehud Barak would not deny Sunday reports that Israel intended to assassinate Hamas's Gaza leader Ismail Haniyeh. According to the reports, only Egypt's intervention with Israel prevented the attack.When asked by Voice of Israel Radio Yaron Dekel about the report, Barak said that not everything that is written in the newspaper is true. Dekel asked if this meant the report was false. I would not say that,Barak replied.When asked about the possibility that the IDF would retake Gaza, Barak would not offer a definite no but made it clear that the option was not a favored one.People eulogize Israel's security deterrent, I heard senior analysts saying that the key is in Hamas's hands.But I want to remind everyone that the key to the next terror attack is always in the hands of the terrorist and not in our hands,he said.We are defenders. We always act after the fact. There will always be someone to second guess us and say – if you had only done this and this, everything would have turned out differently,Barak added.
We were in Gaza for forty years and anyone who misses this period should come out and say so,Barak attacked his critics. On the other hand, he said: Don’t misunderstand me. If we are forced to do so – I have no longing for ruling over Gaza again but if we are forced to do so, we will stop at nothing, nothing.
Fire Rages in Carmiel, Residents Evacuated-Brush fire near Carmiel grows to major blaze; residents evacuated.by Maayana Miskin Published: 28/08/11, 5:37 PM
A brush fire that broke out Sunday afternoon near the city of Carmiel in northern Israel grew into a major blaze that has led firefighters to evacuate many local residents from their homes.All firefighting crews in the region have been called to the area to assist. Three IAF planes are assisting in putting out the flames as well.
A spokesman for fire and rescue crews who spoke with Arutz Sheva called on residents of Carmiel not to attempt to assist in firefighting efforts. Amateur attempts to fight the fire and protect homes are delaying evacuation, he said.No injuries have been reported thus far, he added.Several fires broke out in the Golan and Galilee regions over the weekend. Five planes were called up to help ground crews put out the fires.In one incident, worshipers were evacuated from the cave of Honi Hame'agel in Hatzor Haglilit.
Ceasefire? Two More Rockets Explode in Southern Israel-Well after the beginning of the latest ceasefire, terrorists fire rockets into southern Israel.by Elad Benari, Canada Published: 27/08/11, 12:14 AM
Despite the ceasefire that was announced by the Gaza-based terrorist groups on Thursday, terrorists fired two rockets at the southern Israel on Friday evening.The two rockets exploded in open areas in the Sha’ar Hanegev Regional Council. There were no physical injuries and no damage was done.Earlier on Friday, a Grad rocket fired from Gaza landed in open land south of Ashkelon. No physical injuries or property damage were reported in the attack.Hamas, the Islamic Jihad and the other terror groups in the Gaza Strip declared another ceasefire with Israel late Thursday night. The agreement was reportedly brokered by Egypt and the UN, and according to it, rocket fire from Gaza at Israel was to have stopped at 1:00 p.m. local time on Friday. Both the attacks on Ashkelon and on Sha’ar Hanegev happened long after that deadline passed.The ceasefire announcement came after at least 17 rockets and mortar shells were fired from Gaza on Thursday evening. The rockets and mortars exploded in open fields in Eshkol, the Sha’ar HaNegev Regional Council, and south of Ashkelon.
The terror groups in Gaza have often declared ceasefires only to break them mere hours later. The latest round of also violence came after Hamas declared a ceasefire on Sunday evening.(Arutz Sheva’s North American Desk is keeping you updated until the start of Shabbat in New York.

Irene Forces Cancellation of Flights to and From Israel-El Al, Delta and US Airways have cancelled flights to and from Israel as hurricane Irene churns towards the Big Apple.by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu Published: 28/08/11, 12:03 AM
El Al, Delta and US Airways have cancelled flights to and from Israel as hurricane Irene churns towards the Big Apple.El Al’s 001 and 027 flights from Israel were grounded Saturday night and early Sunday morning, and flights 026 and 028 did not take off from New York, where LaGuardia and JFK airports were shut down, along with the airport in Newark, New Jersey.US Airways canceled its flights to and from Philadelphia and Tel Aviv.Nearly 10,000 flights in the United States have been grounded by the storm, which so far has killed four people after having first striking the coast of North Carolina.American Airlines cancelled all flights in the area of New York City in order to allow its employees time to reach home before the storm strikes.New York City also has suspended all subway and bus service. Atlantic City, on what should have been a packed summer weekend in the gambling resort, is empty.The economic damage from Hurricane Irene is expected to run into the billions. It is the worst storm to hit the East Coast since Gloria thundered into the area in 1985, leaving 11 people dead.

ZECHARIAH 12:1-5 King James Bible
1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.
JOEL 3:2
2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.

2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. 5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.

Monday, 15 August 2011 Palestinians set date for statehood showdown at UN Jpost coverage By GIL SHEFLER
September 20 marked for Palestinian UN statehood bid, AFP reports; PA foreign minister says Abbas will insist on this historic initiative and Ban Ki-moon will present the request to the Security Council.NEW YORK - The Palestinians set September 20th as the date for the much-anticipated vote over Palestinian statehood at the United Nations, according to AFP.Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Malki informed UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas will ask the international community to recognize Palestine as a sovereign state on the first day of the annual opening gathering at UN headquarters in New York.
PM lobbies world envoys against Palestinian statehood
Abbas will personally present the request to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon... at the opening of the sixty-sixth session, he was quoted as saying by the French news wire. [Abbas] will insist on this historic initiative and Ban Ki-moon will present the request to the Security Council.The announcement cast aside speculation that the Palestinians might quietly step back from their bid for statehood in response to mounting international pressure against it.Israel adamantly opposes the Palestinian move saying a unilateral declaration of independence would be detrimental to the peace process.In recent months it has been engaged in extensive diplomatic efforts to prevent a confrontation with Palestinians at the UN over statehood. The US has publicly said it would oppose such a vote in the Security Council and independent observers like theNew York Times have argued pressing for Palestinian independence given Israel's and the US's opposition would be profoundly damaging to all involved.
Last month, an open session at the Security Council on the Middle East turned into a dress rehearsal for the expected vote in September.With international political and financial support this plan has reached its objectives as acknowledged by the international community, a Palestinian envoy told the Security Council. We have completed our responsibilities and are ready to govern ourselves.We cannot keep waiting for Israel to negotiate with good faith.Israel retorted by saying Palestinians were deeply divided between Hamas and Fatah, which have fought each other in a civil war, and that recognition of Palestinian statehood would bring instability to the region.On behalf of whom will you present a resolution in September? Mr. Abbas or Hamas? asked Israel’s ambassador to the UN Ron Prosor. Will it be on behalf of both the Palestinian Authority and the Hamas terrorist organization, which advances a charter calling for the destruction of Israel and the murder of Jews?

4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.
JOEL 3:2
2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.
ZECHARIAH 14:1-9 King James Bible
1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. 5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.

Monday, 15 August 2011 Palestinians set date for statehood showdown at UN Jpost coverage By GIL SHEFLER
September 20 marked for Palestinian UN statehood bid, AFP reports; PA foreign minister says Abbas will insist on this historic initiative and Ban Ki-moon will present the request to the Security Council.NEW YORK - The Palestinians set September 20th as the date for the much-anticipated vote over Palestinian statehood at the United Nations, according to AFP.Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Malki informed UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas will ask the international community to recognize Palestine as a sovereign state on the first day of the annual opening gathering at UN headquarters in New York.
PM lobbies world envoys against Palestinian statehood
Abbas will personally present the request to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon... at the opening of the sixty-sixth session, he was quoted as saying by the French news wire. [Abbas] will insist on this historic initiative and Ban Ki-moon will present the request to the Security Council.The announcement cast aside speculation that the Palestinians might quietly step back from their bid for statehood in response to mounting international pressure against it.Israel adamantly opposes the Palestinian move saying a unilateral declaration of independence would be detrimental to the peace process.In recent months it has been engaged in extensive diplomatic efforts to prevent a confrontation with Palestinians at the UN over statehood. The US has publicly said it would oppose such a vote in the Security Council and independent observers like theNew York Times have argued pressing for Palestinian independence given Israel's and the US's opposition would be profoundly damaging to all involved.
Last month, an open session at the Security Council on the Middle East turned into a dress rehearsal for the expected vote in September.With international political and financial support this plan has reached its objectives as acknowledged by the international community, a Palestinian envoy told the Security Council. We have completed our responsibilities and are ready to govern ourselves.We cannot keep waiting for Israel to negotiate with good faith.Israel retorted by saying Palestinians were deeply divided between Hamas and Fatah, which have fought each other in a civil war, and that recognition of Palestinian statehood would bring instability to the region.On behalf of whom will you present a resolution in September? Mr. Abbas or Hamas? asked Israel’s ambassador to the UN Ron Prosor. Will it be on behalf of both the Palestinian Authority and the Hamas terrorist organization, which advances a charter calling for the destruction of Israel and the murder of Jews?

ISRAEL DEFENDS ITSELF FROM ARAB FIRE
Gaza militants agree to truce with Israel
From: AP August 26, 2011 7:02AM
A Palestinian faction says Gaza militants have agreed to truce with Israel to halt more than a week of deadly hostilities.The Islamic Jihad says Egypt mediated the truce.It is to go into effect at 1 p.m. local time Friday (1100 GMT).The factions called a cease-fire late Sunday, but it dissolved almost immediately in a volley of rocket fire from Gaza on Israel and retaliatory Israeli airstrikes. The violence began with a Palestinian attack that killed eight Israelis on the Egyptian border.
Taher Nunu, a government spokesman in Hamas-ruled Gaza, said early Friday, The government has called on the Palestinian factions not to give an opportunity to the (Israeli) occupation government to escalate its aggression further.Another Hamas official said all key factions agreed to the truce.On Thursday an Israeli airstrike killed two Palestinian militants in the northern Gaza Strip after a string of rocket attacks toward Israel.Palestinian officials said the two were members of the Islamic Jihad militant group.The Israeli military confirmed it carried out the attack, saying the two were targeted after they fired mortar shells toward an Israeli border crossing.The military said more than 15 rockets and mortar shells were fired toward Israel Thursday and that the Erez Crossing was severely damaged.Despite announcing a cease-fire earlier in the week, Palestinian militants have continued to fire rockets daily into Israel.Rockets wounded an Israeli baby Wednesday and Israel retaliated with airstrikes that killed four Gaza fighters. The Palestinians found four bodies Thursday from a tunnel in the southern Gaza Strip that was targeted the previous night.The violence began last week when gunmen, apparently from Gaza, crossed the border from Egypt and ambushed cars and buses in southern Israel, killing eight people. That was followed by massive Palestinian rocket attacks and retaliatory Israeli airstrikes.Israel's military said it will not tolerate any attempt to harm Israeli civilians.
Syrian protesters chant Bye Gaddafi, Bashar next
KHALED OWEIS Last updated 08:06 26/08/2011
Syrian protesters chanted Bye, bye Gaddafi, Bashar your turn is coming overnight, but President Bashar al-Assad showed few signs of cracking after months of demonstrations and his forces raided an eastern tribal region again on Thursday.The new chant, inspired by the apparent collapse of Muammar Gaddafi's rule in Libya, was filmed by residents in the Damascus suburb of Duma after prayers on Wednesday.But in eastern Syria, tanks and armoured vehicles entered Shuhail, a town southeast of the provincial capital of Deir al-Zor, where daily protests have taken place against Assad's rule since the start of the fasting month of Ramadan, they said.Initial reports by residents describe tens of tanks firing randomly as they stormed the town at dawn. Shuhail has been very active in protests and the regime is using overwhelming force to frighten the people, a local activist said.Since Ramadan began on August 1, tanks have entered the cities of Hama, scene of a 1982 massacre by the military, Deir al-Zor and Latakia on the Mediterranean coast, trying to crush dissent after months of street protests.The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), an activist group based in Britain, said 11 civilians had been killed across Syria on Wednesday, including seven in the province of Homs.State news agency SANA said armed terrorist groups killed eight soldiers when they ambushed two military vehicles near the towns of Rastan and Telbiseh.Syria has expelled most independent journalists, making it difficult to verify accounts on the ground from authorities and activists.Prominent cartoonist and Assad critic Ali Ferzat was beaten up in Damascus by a group of armed men and then dumped in the street, an opposition activist group said. SOHR said Ferzat was taken to hospital with bruises to his face and hands.Ferzat, whose cartoons often mock repression and injustice in the Arab world, has criticised Assad's repression of protests. He told Al Arabiya television three weeks ago: For the first time there is a genuine and free revolution in Syria.
EU OIL SANCTIONS POSSIBLE
The defeat of Gaddafi may encourage Western nations to step up moves against Assad. He has pursued parallel policies of strengthening ties with Iran and Shi'ite Lebanese guerrilla group Hezbollah while seeking peace talks with Israel and accepting European and U.S. overtures that were key in rehabilitating him on the international stage.European Union diplomats said on Wednesday the bloc's governments were likely to impose an embargo on imports of Syrian oil by the end of next week, although new sanctions may be less stringent than those imposed by Washington.Syria exports over a third of its 385,000 barrels of daily crude oil output to Europe, mainly the Netherlands, Italy, France and Spain.A disruption would cut off a major source of foreign currency that helps to finance the security apparatus, and restrict funds at Assad's disposal to reward loyalists and continue a crackdown in which the United Nations says 2,200 people have been killed.In a sign the prospect of sanctions was already having an effect, traders said French oil major Total had not lifted a cargo of naphtha from Syria's Banias refinery which it had bought in a tender.Arab League ministers will meet in Cairo on Saturday to discuss Syria. An official said they would discuss imposing a time frame for Assad to enact reforms.But they would also call on all parties to end the conflict, the official said, in an apparent acceptance of Syria's argument it faces armed opponents.In an interview with state television this week, Assad said the unrest has shifted towards armed acts. Authorities blame the violence on armed terrorist groups, who they say have killed an unspecified number of civilians and 500 soldiers and police.
NO THREAT
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said it was up to the Syrian authorities and people to find a way out of the unrest.The hope of the West is to attack Syria they way they intervened in Libya but the people and the government in Syria should sit down together and reach an understanding on reforms, he told al-Manar television channel.The people should have the right to elections, freedom and justice (so) they should set the timeline about it (together).Human Rights Watch said in a new report the vast majority of civilian deaths documented by Syrian human rights groups have occurred in circumstances in which there was no threat to Syrian forces.President al-Assad has said he is pursuing a battle against terrorist groups and armed gangs, and Syrian authorities have claimed that they have exercised maximum restraint while trying to control the situation. Neither claim is true,the report said.It said Syrian forces had killed at least 49 people since Assad told U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on August 17 military and police operations had stopped, adding that on August 22 in Homs, Syrian forces fired on a crowd of peaceful protesters shortly after a U.N. humanitarian assessment team left the area, killing four.The official state news agency quoted Assad as telling clerics during a Ramadan iftar meal on Wednesday the West was pressuring Syria to sell out, which will not happen because the Syrian people have chosen to have an independent will.- Reuters
Gaza and Israel Exchange Retaliatory Fire
By FARES AKRAM Published: August 25, 2011
GAZA — Nine Gazans have been killed in Israeli strikes since Wednesday night, with Israel’s southern communities withstanding 20 rockets from Gaza over the same 24-hour period.Warning sirens repeatedly sent Israelis across the south into bomb shelters, but most of the rockets landed in empty fields near the Israeli cities of Ofakim, Ashkelon and Beersheva. However, a nine-month-old baby was slightly hurt in Ashkelon when a car was hit with shrapnel.The recent round of violence started a week ago, after a terrorist attack on southern Israel in which eight Israelis were killed. Israeli forces pursuing suspects killed five Egyptian security officers in the Egyptian Sinai, creating a furor within Egypt.Israeli officials said the perpetrators and planners of the terrorist attack were originally from Gaza, and Israel has retaliated with strikes that have killed at least 23 Palestinians. Gazan officials say they know nothing about the source of the attack.Israel’s first retaliatory strike killed leaders from the Popular Resistance Committees, a pro-Hamas militant group that Israel said was behind the terrorist attack.On Wednesday, an Israeli airstrike killed an Islamic Jihad leader, Ismail al-Asmar, 34; the group said Thursday that it had fired several of the missiles at Israel in retaliation.
Early Thursday, Israelis struck a smuggling tunnel that crossed under Gaza’s southern border with Egypt, killing four.A third airstrike — on a sports club the Israeli military said held a weapons storage facility — killed two in northern Gaza: a member of Islamic Jihad, and a Palestinian man, 22, who died hours after he was wounded.Adham Abu Selmia, a Palestinian medical spokesman, said 29 Palestinians were wounded in those three assaults.Thursday evening, as Gazans were beginning to break their Ramadan fasts, an Israeli plane fired a missile at a motorbike in northern Gaza, killing two Palestinian militants, witnesses and medical sources said. The Israeli military said that the two had fired a mortar shell at the Erez crossing, damaging it. There were about 10 Palestinians inside the crossing terminal at the time, en route back to Gaza, the Israelis said, but none were hurt.Earlier in the week, Gaza’s Hamas rulers said a ceasefire agreement had been reached through Egyptian efforts, but Israel said it was retaliating for rocket fire and working to stop attacks in preparation.Ethan Bronner contributed reporting from Jerusalem.
Dick Cheney writes in his book that he urged Bush to bomb Syria By Stephanie Condon AUG 25,11
In his new memoir, former Vice President Dick Cheney details urging President George W. Bush to bomb a suspected Syrian nuclear reactor in 2007, the New York Times reports.The rest of Mr. Bush's advisers, however, opposed Cheney's suggestion, and ultimately Mr. Bush listened to them. It's just one instance in the book in which Cheney describes butting heads with others in the administration, according to the Times, which obtained an advanced copy of the memoir, In My Time.I again made the case for U.S. military action against the reactor, Mr. Cheney wrote, describing a meeting regarding the possible Syrian reactor. But I was a lone voice. After I finished, the president asked, Does anyone here agree with the vice president? Not a single hand went up around the room.Mr. Bush decided to instead pressure Syria to drop its suspected nuclear program through diplomacy, and Israel ended up bombing the site some months later, in September 2007.While Cheney reportedly calls Mr. Bush an outstanding leader in the book, he gives critical assessments of other cabinet members, including former CIA director George Tenet, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and former Secretary of State Colin Powell.
The memoir is slated to be published next week, and in an interview to air next week, Cheney told NBC, There are gonna be heads exploding all over Washington once his book is out.The former vice president revealed to NBC that his book explains why he kept a signed letter of resignation locked in a safe throughout most of his eight years in the White House.
Israel caves to new Middle East order
While it might attempt to spin the new reality of the new Middle East, events as a whole do not serve Israel, writes Khaled Amayreh in the occupied Palestinian territories.Fearing regional and international isolation, and especially worried about a negative aggravating crisis with Egypt, a visibly frustrated Israeli government agreed rather begrudgingly to a ceasefire that came too soon with the Gaza-based Hamas government, following last week's cross-border resistance attack near the southernmost Israeli town of Eilat.Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu reportedly resisted calls by more extremist members of his cabinet for carrying out massive attacks on the Gaza Strip, arguing that Israel won't be dragged into places it doesn't want to be.Citing prospects of a worsening crisis with Egypt, Netanyahu argued that launching more attacks on Gaza, which could leave more gruesome TV images of Palestinian casualties, would be inadvisable.Netanyahu's uncharacteristically restrained behaviour came after he received several messages from the Israeli ambassador in Cairo, stating that the general atmosphere in Egypt was decidedly anti- Israeli and that any escalation of violence with the Palestinians would near certainly further aggravate volatile relations with Egypt.
Moreover, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry made it clear to Israel through diplomatic channels that Israel was now dealing with a new Egypt and that what was possible under the Mubarak regime -- ie tolerating Israeli excesses -- was no longer possible.
The Israeli army did kill as many as 15 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip during more than 27 hours of sustained air strikes. Several civilians, including children, were among the victims who also included a number of resistance commanders. Many others, mostly civilians, were wounded, some seriously.However, the relatively small number of Palestinian victims didn't satisfy the more hawkish members of the Israeli cabinet such as Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, who urged the government to bomb Gaza to the ground. Lieberman criticised Netanyahu's reluctant policy towards the Palestinians.Even if we offer the Palestinians Tel Aviv and a retreat to the 1947 borders, they will find a reason not to sign a peace agreement with us. Earlier, the bellicose Israeli foreign minister personally attacked Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas, saying the PA was an illegitimate government that doesn't conduct elections, and we shouldn't reach agreement with them.Turkish leaders, too, received a share of Lieberman's badmouthing. He called Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu liars, saying Israel wouldn't apologise for murdering nine Turkish citizens during the Israeli assault on a Turkish ship carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza last May.Netanyahu hit back at Lieberman, telling him that only the prime minister decides Israeli policies.
A Netanyahu aide, quoted by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, argued that the situation facing Israel now was drastically different from that which prevailed in 2008-09 when Israel launched its all- out devastating campaign against the Gaza Strip, killing and maiming thousands of Palestinians and destroying much of the civilian infrastructure in the coastal enclave.There is a sensitive situation in the Middle East, which is one big boiling pot; there is the international arena, there is the Palestinian move in the United Nations in September, we have to pick our way very carefully, the aide said.There is little doubt that the new reality in Egypt in particular is having a clear restraining impact on Israeli behaviour towards the Palestinians. One Israeli newspaper quoted former Arab League Secretary-General Amr Moussa as saying that Israel must be aware that the days when it kills our children without getting a strong, appropriate response are gone forever.Moussa's remarks are likely to reflect public opinion throughout Egypt, as thousands of Egyptians have been demonstrating against Israel, demanding stringent action against the Zionist entity for murdering five Egyptian border guards near Eilat last week.More to the point, Israel is especially worried that this is only the beginning and that the upcoming Egyptian elections will bring to the fore in Cairo a decidedly anti-Israeli leadership that would hold Israel to account every time it behaves characteristically.Israel is not only worried about the new Middle East where it faces mounting isolation. Israel is also worried about its eroding deterrence vis-Ã -vis the Palestinians, especially in the Gaza Strip.The measured Israeli response to the Eilat incident was by no means the kind of response Israelis had been used to seeing. This reduced deterrence is likely to embolden the PA leadership in Ramallah to ignore Israeli and American warnings against seeking UN recognition of a prospective Palestinian state in September.
Interestingly, the PA didn't explicitly condemn the Eilat incident as it would have done in different circumstances. The Eilat incident and the uncomfortable position facing Israel, especially at the regional level, prompted some Israeli writers to draw comparisons dating back to the 1973 wars, when then-Israeli prime minister Golda Meir shut her ears to the late Egyptian president Anwar Al-Sadat.Writing in Haaretz under the title When Israeli arrogance meets Arab honour, Israeli commentator Akiva Eldar reminded everyone that the thousands of victims of the October war of 1973 did not succeed in weaning Israelis off the curse of arrogance. It sticks its nose up so high that it blocks the view around the corner -- until the next violent clash.Eldar pointed out that millions of Arabs throughout the Middle East, including Egypt, were no longer willing to stomach Israeli arrogance. This time, the Israeli arrogance is encountering the honour of an Arab street that is undermining the old order. When they see on television Israeli soldiers fighting Arab children on the day after the declaration of a Palestinian state in the UN, the dissidents in Egypt, Tunisia, Jordan, Syria and Libya will not be cracking sunflower seeds in front of the television. I hope I will be proven wrong.
Israeli warplanes strike Gaza By the CNN Wire Staff
August 24, 2011 11:21 p.m. EDT
Gaza City (CNN) -- Israeli warplanes struck several times Wednesday and early Thursday along the country's border with Gaza, killing three people and wounding several others, medical sources told CNN.Early Thursday, an Israeli warplane shot missiles at a social club in northern Gaza, killing two people and wounding 20, including women and children, medical sources said.On Wednesday, an air strike on a tunnel between Rafa and Egypt left three people seriously wounded, the sources said.
The Israel Defense Forces said that an Israeli warplane hit an Islamic Jihad militant from the city of Rafa who was involved in smuggling weapons and sought the execution of terrorist activity in Sinai.The victim had operated with Gaza elements who had recently tried to carry out an attack in Sinai, on Israel's border with Egypt, it added.Hamas security and medical sources reported a strike in Rafa in which one man was killed and three others were wounded, two of them critically, when their Jeep was struck.The four men were members of Islamic Jihad, sources with the Palestinian militant group said.In response, Islamic Jihad said Wednesday night that its members had fired about 10 rockets from Gaza into southern Israel. There was no immediate report of casualties.The IDF said in a news release that it fired Wednesday night at a terrorist squad that had fired rockets into southern Israel.A hit was confirmed, it said.On Wednesday morning, the IDF reported that two people who had fired rockets at Israel from separate locations in northern Gaza were hit moments afterward by an Israeli aircraft.The flare-up between Israel and Palestinians in Gaza came following an attack carried out by Palestinian militants last Thursday near the southern city of Eilat, which killed eight Israelis. Another Israeli was killed by a rocket attack near the city of Beer Sheva in southern Israel.
The IDF will not tolerate any attempt to harm Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers, and will respond with determination to any attempt to use terror against the State of Israel, the IDF news release said.The U.N. special coordinator for the Middle East peace process, Richard Serry, issued a statement Sunday saying he remains worried about the continuing tensions in particular the escalation of violence in Gaza and Southern Israel.He called for a return to calm and said the United Nations is actively engaged and supporting Egypt's important efforts in this regard, a reference to Egypt's attempt to better control the Sinai.CNN's Talal Abu Rahma contributed to this story.
Profile: Fatah Palestinian movement Founded by Yasser Arafat in the 1950s, Fatah was once the cornerstone of the Palestinian national cause, but its power has since faded.
Under Arafat's leadership, the group originally promoted an armed struggle against Israel to create a Palestinian state. But it later recognised Israel's right to exist, and its leaders have led Palestinian peace talks aimed at reaching a two-state solution.Arafat signed the first interim peace deal with Israel in 1993 in Oslo, but a full accord has proved elusive, despite decades of on-off negotiations - the latest round launched by President Barack Obama at the White House last September.Oslo Accords signing at White House in Sept 1993 Yasser Arafat shakes hands with Israeli PM Yitzhak Rabin in 1993, as US President Bill Clinton looks on
Since Arafat's death in 2004, Fatah has fallen from its position of dominance and, in 2006, lost parliamentary elections to rival Palestinian movement Hamas. In June 2007 it was effectively driven out of the Gaza Strip after violent clashes between the two factions.Now led by another of its founders, Mahmoud Abbas, Fatah has also seen its power steadily eroded by internal divisions.The party has been dogged by claims of nepotism and corruption in government and critics say it is in desperate need of reform.
Armed resistance
Fatah is the reverse acronym of Harakat al-Tahrir al-Filistiniya (Palestinian Liberation Movement). The name means conquest in Arabic.Founded by Arafat and a handful of close comrades in the late 1950s, its leaders wanted to rally Palestinians in the diaspora in neighbouring Arab states to launch commando raids on the young Israeli state.In 1969, Arafat took over as chairman of the PLO, the umbrella group created by Arab states to represent the Palestinians on the international stage.
Fatah: Key facts
Secular, nationalist movement with the aim of establishing a Palestinian state
Dogged by claims of nepotism and corruption; Lacking a cohesive vision and values
Major force within the PLO umbrella group and its interim governing body, the Palestinian Authority
Holds 45 of 132 seats in parliament (PLC), after 2006 Hamas election victory with 74 seats
But various Palestinian groups within the PLO gradually split off as Fatah proved to them either too ineffective, too corrupt, or too moderate.By the time of the first intifada - or uprising - in 1988, Fatah's power had been significantly diluted. The party became the chief proponent of a negotiated solution with Israel, and by 1993 accepted Israel's right to exist.The second intifada saw a number of armed groups associated with Fatah emerge, most notably the al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades. The Brigades are neither officially recognised nor openly backed by Fatah, though members often belong to the political faction.During the intifada, the Brigades carried out numerous operations against Israeli soldiers and settlers in the West Bank and Gaza, and suicide attacks on civilians inside Israel.Israel's responses to the intense campaign of attacks in 2002 further weakened Arafat and Fatah's authority, and left the Arafat-led Palestinian Authority in disarray.Much of the authority's infrastructure was destroyed, Arafat's compound in Ramallah was besieged for five weeks, and Israel captured Marwan Barghouti - the Fatah leader in the West Bank who Israel alleges is the head of al-Aqsa Brigades. He was later convicted of murder.
Peace track
With international pressure mounting, Fatah - though notably not the al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades - signed a declaration rejecting attacks on civilians in Israel and committing themselves to peace and co-existence.In late October 2004, Arafat was taken ill and flown to France for emergency treatment. He died of a mysterious blood disorder on 11 November.Mahmoud Abbas was confirmed as Arafat's successor as chairman of the PLO shortly afterwards and, as Fatah's candidate, won a landslide victory in the January 2005 presidential elections.But Mr Abbas inherited a party that was divided, in need of reform, and losing its popular support.The loss of Yasser Arafat allowed a rift to develop between the party's old guard of former exiles and its new guard, led by the jailed Marwan Barghouti.Fatah has also suffered from being associated with the perceived corruption and incompetence of the Palestinian Authority.
Hamas rift
Hamas' overwhelming victory in the 2006 parliamentary election dealt another huge blow to the group, and caused further disarray in the Palestinian Authority (PA) led by Mr Abbas.The PA authority now extends to Palestinian-controlled areas of the West Bank, but since June 2007, it has had little sway in Gaza.Marwan Barghouti appears in Tel Aviv District Court, 2002 Marwan Barghouti still influences Fatah from inside an Israeli prison
Mr Abbas has overrun his term as president of the PA - it should have ended in January 2008 - drawing the legitimacy of his leadership into question.Despite that, Mr Abbas went to Washington in September 2010, aiming to re-launch peace talks with the Israelis on behalf of all Palestinians. The talks collapsed within a matter of weeks over Israel's refusal to stop building settlements.Apparently disillusioned with the peace process, Mr Abbas turned his attention to achieving a reconciliation deal at home.In May, he and Hamas leader, Khaled Meshaal, signed a deal in Egypt's capital Cairo aimed at ending their four-year rift.Although Palestinians have welcomed the deal, they remain sceptical about whether the two sides can iron out their differences on a number of key issues and work together for the common cause - establishing an independent Palestinian state.
Q&A: Palestinian statehood bid at the UN
Palestinians wave their national flag at a demonstration in Gaza Recent rally against Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory on the anniversary of the 1967 war.Palestinian officials plan to ask the United Nations to recognise an independent Palestinian state within 1967 borders if there is no progress in the peace process by September.The idea is strongly opposed by Israel and its close ally, the United States.Here is a guide to what is likely to happen and its significance.
Q. What are the Palestinians asking for?
The Palestinians, as represented by the Palestinian Authority, have long sought to establish an independent, sovereign state in the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem - occupied by Israel since the 1967 Six Day War. Although the Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas has said he would prefer to achieve this through negotiations, two decades of on-and-off peace talks have failed to produce a deal.Late last year, Palestinian officials began pursuing a new diplomatic strategy: asking individual countries to recognise a Palestinian state within 1967 borders. Now they want the UN to do the same. This would entitle them to full member state representation at the UN, where the Palestine Liberation Organisation currently has only observer status. It could also have political implications allowing Palestinians greater access to international courts where they could possibly launch legal action to challenge the occupation of territory by Israel.
Q. What is the process?
The 15-member UN Security Council needs to recommend statehood to the General Assembly. If it does, then a vote on membership by its 193 members could take place on 20 September. Approval requires a two-thirds majority - or 128 votes. Currently 122 countries are said to recognise Palestine but the Palestinians hope they would gain the support of up to 150.United Nations General Assembly Palestinians believe over two-thirds of the General Assembly would recognise their statehood.The US is the main obstacle to a General Assembly vote because it has veto power as a permanent Security Council member. In February, the US vetoed a resolution, which was co-sponsored by 130 countries, condemning Israeli settlements in the Palestinian territories as an obstacle to peace. This time around, the Palestinians are hoping to persuade the US to at least abstain.As a back-up, they are exploring other possible legal options. These include a loophole created by a 1950 resolution, which may allow the Security Council to be bypassed on issues of world peace. The Palestinians and their supporters are also looking at ways to press for UN General Assembly resolution 181 of 1947 to be enforced. The resolution calls for the partition of British Mandate Palestine into a Jewish state and an Arab one. At the very least, the Palestinians say they want the General Assembly to accept Palestine as an observer state.
Q. Is this symbolic or would it change facts on the ground?
Getting UN recognition of Palestinian statehood on 1967 borders would largely have symbolic value, building on previous UN decisions. Already Security Council resolution 242, which followed the Six Day War, demanded the withdrawal of Israeli armed forces from territories occupied in the recent conflict. Although Israel disputes the precise meaning of this, there is wide international acceptance that the pre-1967 frontiers should form the basis of a peace settlement.The problem for the Palestinians is that Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu does not agree with the premise. In May, when President Barack Obama called for border talks based broadly on 1967 lines, Mr Netanyahu described the idea as unrealistic and indefensible.It is unlikely that UN recognition of a Palestinian state would persuade Israel to concede possession of occupied land. New facts on the ground have been created since 1967, Israelis have insisted over the years. Almost half a million Israelis live in more than 200 settlements and outposts in the West Bank. Mutually agreed land swaps have been suggested as a way to overcome this and could only be agreed by negotiations.The Palestinians argue that recognition of a Palestinian state would strengthen their hands in peace talks with Israel. They say these would have to resume, in order to resolve other issues such as security, water, refugees and arrangements for sharing Jerusalem, which both sides claim as their capital. However Israeli officials object to recognition of a Palestinian state in advance of such agreements as putting the carriage before the horse.
Q. Why is this happening now?
The main reason is the impasse in peace talks. However, the Palestinians also argue that their UN plan fits with an agreed deadline. The Middle East Peace Quartet - the European Union, United States, Russia and UN - committed itself to the target of achieving a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict by September 2011. The Palestinian Authority Prime Minister, Salam Fayyad, says that Palestinians have succeeded in building up state institutions and are ready for statehood.Recent Arab uprisings also appear to have energised Palestinian public opinion. Civil society groups may hold street demonstrations to show their backing for the UN option.
Q. How is this different from previous declarations?
In 1988, the late Palestinian leader, Yasser Arafat, unilaterally declared the establishment of a state. This won recognition from about 100 countries, mainly Arab, Communist and non-aligned states - several of them in Latin America. Recognition of Palestine as a sovereign state by the UN would have greater impact as it is the overarching international body and a source of authority on international law.
Q. Who supports and opposes the UN option?
This course of action enjoys wide support among Palestinians. After the recent reconciliation deal between rival political factions, even leaders of the Islamic militant organisation, Hamas, acknowledged there was a broad consensus on the establishment of a Palestinian state within 1967 borders, though they formally still refuse to recognise Israel and their Charter is committed to its destruction. The appeal to the UN is also backed by the 22-member Arab League.President Obama greeting Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last September The latest US push to bring the Israelis and Palestinians back to negotiations quickly stalled.The main opposition comes from Israel. Peace can only be achieved around the negotiating table. The Palestinian attempt to impose a settlement will not bring peace, Mr Netanyahu told a joint session of the US Congress in May. Mr Obama has criticised the Palestinian push. In his major speech on the Middle East he dismissed it as symbolic actions to isolate Israel at the United Nations.Some major European Union states are looking increasingly favourably on the idea of recognising a Palestinian state. This is mainly because of their disappointment with Mr Netanyahu's government in Israel-Palestinian peace talks and what they see as its recalcitrance over settlements.In the coming weeks, both Palestinian and Israeli delegations will be on a diplomatic drive to win countries around to their point of view.
Israel blames Gaza-based Palestinian terrorist group for coordinated attacks By Laura Rozen | The Envoy – Fri, Aug 19, 2011
Israel is still reeling from Thursday's series of terrorist attacks that killed eight Israeli citizens and wounded 30 more near the Jewish state's southern border with Egypt. And beyond the immediate shock of the attacks, analysts are also concerned about the potential for violence to escalate.Israel blamed the attacks on a shadowy Palestinian terrorist group called the Popular Resistance Committees (PRC), based in the Gaza strip. The group reportedly has ties to both Hamas' military wing and the Iranian- and Syrian-backed Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.
The attacks began at noon on Thursday. Gunmen reportedly crossed from the Gaza strip into Egypt and then into southern Israel and opened fire on an Egged bus traveling from the southern city of Beersheva to the resort town of Eilat. That assault wounded seven people, according to a timeline of the attacks published by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz. Half an hour later, an Israeli Defense Forces unit responding to that attack was wounded by an explosive device. At 12:35 p.m., mortars were fired from Egypt into Israel, but no one was hurt; by 1:10, an Israeli anti-tank vehicle fielded shots near the Egyptian-Israeli border, wounding seven more people. At nearly the same moment, at 1:11 p.m., another anti-tank missile was fired at a private vehicle, killing six people. In all, eight people were killed, including six civilians, and two Israeli security forces.Israel began retaliating Thursday evening by bombing the Popular Resistance Committee's headquarters in Rafah, on the Gaza Strip's border with Egypt. The Israeli counterattack killed the head of the PRC, and several of his aides, as well as a Palestinian boy. The Israeli air force has continued to strike targets in Gaza, killing two more PRC members on Friday in a Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza, Al Jazeera's Safwat Al Kahlout reported. It has also retaliated against rocket attacks coming from Egypt.Israel will exact a heavy price, a very heavy price from those who attempt to escalate terrorist war against Israel [and] believe that they can attack our citizens and get away with it,Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed in a press conference Thursday, Al Jazeera reported. Netanyahu thanked Israeli security forces for wiping out the leaders of the PRC.Israeli officials asserted that the PRC had set out to kidnap Israelis, although they did not provide evidence for the claim. The group reportedly was one of three that took credit for kidnapping Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit in June 2006. That incident preceded a Hezbollah provocation on Israel's northern border and Israel's subsequent 2006 war in Lebanon.
Israeli officials were more cautious about assigning culpability to Egypt for the fact that the assailants reportedly crossed through Egyptian territory to perpetrate the attacks. Instead, they focused blame on Gaza, which is controlled by the Palestinian militant group Hamas.This is a serious terror attack that took place in several locations, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said Thursday, Haaretz reported. The incident shows the weakening Egyptian grip on Sinai and the widening operation of terrorists there. The source of these terror acts is in Gaza and we will act against them with full force.But analysts cautioned that many questions remain unresolved about the incident--from its ultimate aims to its specific source. A spokesman for the PRC denied Friday that the group carried out the attacks, though he went on to praise them, Agence France Press reported Friday.There are lots of questions regarding this incident,said Jeffrey White, a former Defense analyst with the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, in an email to The Envoy Thursday. Asserting close ties between the PRC and Hamas, a real question, White wrote,is Hamas knowledge/involvement.And with that specter on the horizon, he added, there is plenty of potential here for escalation.Furthermore, the incident is seriously aggravating Israeli-Egyptian relations, White continued, in an analysis prepared with Ehud Yaari for the Institute, citing Cairo's complaints that Israel killed and wounded several Egyptian soldiers in responding to rocket fire coming from Sinai.The scenarios range from it was this group [the PRC], with or without the knowledge of the military wing from Hamas, said Hussein Ibish, an Arab-American analyst with the American Task Force for Palestine, in a telephone interview with The Envoy Friday. Or that could be a convenient scapegoat. I have absolutely no way of knowing.But Ibish suggested it was worth considering the regional context, and the potentially useful distraction such an attack might pose for Syria's embattled leader Bashar al-Assad and his key regional ally Iran. The West and the Arab world alike have condemned Assad's brutal crackdown against domestic anti-government unrest; President Obama indeed announced this week that the United States supports Assad's ouster.
There's no evidence of a Syrian or Iranian role; but one could posit scenarios where people in the region might like to have flare ups, Ibish said. These things often do have a regional context. Even small groups [such as the PRC] can be a proxy for various regional actors, he noted.A Reuters analysis of the PRC also notes that the group uses an emblem that bears a strong resemblance to the Iranian and Syrian-backed Lebanese militant group Hezbollah. Reuters also reported that Israel believes the group gets backing from Hezbollah.The United States sharply condemned the attacks, in statements from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the White House.

A Palestinian faction says Gaza militants have agreed to truce with Israel to halt more than a week of deadly hostilities.The Islamic Jihad says Egypt mediated the truce.It is to go into effect at 1 p.m. local time Friday (1100 GMT).The factions called a cease-fire late Sunday, but it dissolved almost immediately in a volley of rocket fire from Gaza on Israel and retaliatory Israeli airstrikes. The violence began with a Palestinian attack that killed eight Israelis on the Egyptian border.
Taher Nunu, a government spokesman in Hamas-ruled Gaza, said early Friday, The government has called on the Palestinian factions not to give an opportunity to the (Israeli) occupation government to escalate its aggression further.Another Hamas official said all key factions agreed to the truce.On Thursday an Israeli airstrike killed two Palestinian militants in the northern Gaza Strip after a string of rocket attacks toward Israel.Palestinian officials said the two were members of the Islamic Jihad militant group.The Israeli military confirmed it carried out the attack, saying the two were targeted after they fired mortar shells toward an Israeli border crossing.The military said more than 15 rockets and mortar shells were fired toward Israel Thursday and that the Erez Crossing was severely damaged.Despite announcing a cease-fire earlier in the week, Palestinian militants have continued to fire rockets daily into Israel.Rockets wounded an Israeli baby Wednesday and Israel retaliated with airstrikes that killed four Gaza fighters. The Palestinians found four bodies Thursday from a tunnel in the southern Gaza Strip that was targeted the previous night.The violence began last week when gunmen, apparently from Gaza, crossed the border from Egypt and ambushed cars and buses in southern Israel, killing eight people. That was followed by massive Palestinian rocket attacks and retaliatory Israeli airstrikes.Israel's military said it will not tolerate any attempt to harm Israeli civilians.
Syrian protesters chant Bye Gaddafi, Bashar next
KHALED OWEIS Last updated 08:06 26/08/2011
Syrian protesters chanted Bye, bye Gaddafi, Bashar your turn is coming overnight, but President Bashar al-Assad showed few signs of cracking after months of demonstrations and his forces raided an eastern tribal region again on Thursday.The new chant, inspired by the apparent collapse of Muammar Gaddafi's rule in Libya, was filmed by residents in the Damascus suburb of Duma after prayers on Wednesday.But in eastern Syria, tanks and armoured vehicles entered Shuhail, a town southeast of the provincial capital of Deir al-Zor, where daily protests have taken place against Assad's rule since the start of the fasting month of Ramadan, they said.Initial reports by residents describe tens of tanks firing randomly as they stormed the town at dawn. Shuhail has been very active in protests and the regime is using overwhelming force to frighten the people, a local activist said.Since Ramadan began on August 1, tanks have entered the cities of Hama, scene of a 1982 massacre by the military, Deir al-Zor and Latakia on the Mediterranean coast, trying to crush dissent after months of street protests.The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), an activist group based in Britain, said 11 civilians had been killed across Syria on Wednesday, including seven in the province of Homs.State news agency SANA said armed terrorist groups killed eight soldiers when they ambushed two military vehicles near the towns of Rastan and Telbiseh.Syria has expelled most independent journalists, making it difficult to verify accounts on the ground from authorities and activists.Prominent cartoonist and Assad critic Ali Ferzat was beaten up in Damascus by a group of armed men and then dumped in the street, an opposition activist group said. SOHR said Ferzat was taken to hospital with bruises to his face and hands.Ferzat, whose cartoons often mock repression and injustice in the Arab world, has criticised Assad's repression of protests. He told Al Arabiya television three weeks ago: For the first time there is a genuine and free revolution in Syria.
EU OIL SANCTIONS POSSIBLE
The defeat of Gaddafi may encourage Western nations to step up moves against Assad. He has pursued parallel policies of strengthening ties with Iran and Shi'ite Lebanese guerrilla group Hezbollah while seeking peace talks with Israel and accepting European and U.S. overtures that were key in rehabilitating him on the international stage.European Union diplomats said on Wednesday the bloc's governments were likely to impose an embargo on imports of Syrian oil by the end of next week, although new sanctions may be less stringent than those imposed by Washington.Syria exports over a third of its 385,000 barrels of daily crude oil output to Europe, mainly the Netherlands, Italy, France and Spain.A disruption would cut off a major source of foreign currency that helps to finance the security apparatus, and restrict funds at Assad's disposal to reward loyalists and continue a crackdown in which the United Nations says 2,200 people have been killed.In a sign the prospect of sanctions was already having an effect, traders said French oil major Total had not lifted a cargo of naphtha from Syria's Banias refinery which it had bought in a tender.Arab League ministers will meet in Cairo on Saturday to discuss Syria. An official said they would discuss imposing a time frame for Assad to enact reforms.But they would also call on all parties to end the conflict, the official said, in an apparent acceptance of Syria's argument it faces armed opponents.In an interview with state television this week, Assad said the unrest has shifted towards armed acts. Authorities blame the violence on armed terrorist groups, who they say have killed an unspecified number of civilians and 500 soldiers and police.
NO THREAT
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said it was up to the Syrian authorities and people to find a way out of the unrest.The hope of the West is to attack Syria they way they intervened in Libya but the people and the government in Syria should sit down together and reach an understanding on reforms, he told al-Manar television channel.The people should have the right to elections, freedom and justice (so) they should set the timeline about it (together).Human Rights Watch said in a new report the vast majority of civilian deaths documented by Syrian human rights groups have occurred in circumstances in which there was no threat to Syrian forces.President al-Assad has said he is pursuing a battle against terrorist groups and armed gangs, and Syrian authorities have claimed that they have exercised maximum restraint while trying to control the situation. Neither claim is true,the report said.It said Syrian forces had killed at least 49 people since Assad told U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on August 17 military and police operations had stopped, adding that on August 22 in Homs, Syrian forces fired on a crowd of peaceful protesters shortly after a U.N. humanitarian assessment team left the area, killing four.The official state news agency quoted Assad as telling clerics during a Ramadan iftar meal on Wednesday the West was pressuring Syria to sell out, which will not happen because the Syrian people have chosen to have an independent will.- Reuters
Gaza and Israel Exchange Retaliatory Fire
By FARES AKRAM Published: August 25, 2011
GAZA — Nine Gazans have been killed in Israeli strikes since Wednesday night, with Israel’s southern communities withstanding 20 rockets from Gaza over the same 24-hour period.Warning sirens repeatedly sent Israelis across the south into bomb shelters, but most of the rockets landed in empty fields near the Israeli cities of Ofakim, Ashkelon and Beersheva. However, a nine-month-old baby was slightly hurt in Ashkelon when a car was hit with shrapnel.The recent round of violence started a week ago, after a terrorist attack on southern Israel in which eight Israelis were killed. Israeli forces pursuing suspects killed five Egyptian security officers in the Egyptian Sinai, creating a furor within Egypt.Israeli officials said the perpetrators and planners of the terrorist attack were originally from Gaza, and Israel has retaliated with strikes that have killed at least 23 Palestinians. Gazan officials say they know nothing about the source of the attack.Israel’s first retaliatory strike killed leaders from the Popular Resistance Committees, a pro-Hamas militant group that Israel said was behind the terrorist attack.On Wednesday, an Israeli airstrike killed an Islamic Jihad leader, Ismail al-Asmar, 34; the group said Thursday that it had fired several of the missiles at Israel in retaliation.
Early Thursday, Israelis struck a smuggling tunnel that crossed under Gaza’s southern border with Egypt, killing four.A third airstrike — on a sports club the Israeli military said held a weapons storage facility — killed two in northern Gaza: a member of Islamic Jihad, and a Palestinian man, 22, who died hours after he was wounded.Adham Abu Selmia, a Palestinian medical spokesman, said 29 Palestinians were wounded in those three assaults.Thursday evening, as Gazans were beginning to break their Ramadan fasts, an Israeli plane fired a missile at a motorbike in northern Gaza, killing two Palestinian militants, witnesses and medical sources said. The Israeli military said that the two had fired a mortar shell at the Erez crossing, damaging it. There were about 10 Palestinians inside the crossing terminal at the time, en route back to Gaza, the Israelis said, but none were hurt.Earlier in the week, Gaza’s Hamas rulers said a ceasefire agreement had been reached through Egyptian efforts, but Israel said it was retaliating for rocket fire and working to stop attacks in preparation.Ethan Bronner contributed reporting from Jerusalem.
Dick Cheney writes in his book that he urged Bush to bomb Syria By Stephanie Condon AUG 25,11
In his new memoir, former Vice President Dick Cheney details urging President George W. Bush to bomb a suspected Syrian nuclear reactor in 2007, the New York Times reports.The rest of Mr. Bush's advisers, however, opposed Cheney's suggestion, and ultimately Mr. Bush listened to them. It's just one instance in the book in which Cheney describes butting heads with others in the administration, according to the Times, which obtained an advanced copy of the memoir, In My Time.I again made the case for U.S. military action against the reactor, Mr. Cheney wrote, describing a meeting regarding the possible Syrian reactor. But I was a lone voice. After I finished, the president asked, Does anyone here agree with the vice president? Not a single hand went up around the room.Mr. Bush decided to instead pressure Syria to drop its suspected nuclear program through diplomacy, and Israel ended up bombing the site some months later, in September 2007.While Cheney reportedly calls Mr. Bush an outstanding leader in the book, he gives critical assessments of other cabinet members, including former CIA director George Tenet, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and former Secretary of State Colin Powell.
The memoir is slated to be published next week, and in an interview to air next week, Cheney told NBC, There are gonna be heads exploding all over Washington once his book is out.The former vice president revealed to NBC that his book explains why he kept a signed letter of resignation locked in a safe throughout most of his eight years in the White House.
Israel caves to new Middle East order
While it might attempt to spin the new reality of the new Middle East, events as a whole do not serve Israel, writes Khaled Amayreh in the occupied Palestinian territories.Fearing regional and international isolation, and especially worried about a negative aggravating crisis with Egypt, a visibly frustrated Israeli government agreed rather begrudgingly to a ceasefire that came too soon with the Gaza-based Hamas government, following last week's cross-border resistance attack near the southernmost Israeli town of Eilat.Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu reportedly resisted calls by more extremist members of his cabinet for carrying out massive attacks on the Gaza Strip, arguing that Israel won't be dragged into places it doesn't want to be.Citing prospects of a worsening crisis with Egypt, Netanyahu argued that launching more attacks on Gaza, which could leave more gruesome TV images of Palestinian casualties, would be inadvisable.Netanyahu's uncharacteristically restrained behaviour came after he received several messages from the Israeli ambassador in Cairo, stating that the general atmosphere in Egypt was decidedly anti- Israeli and that any escalation of violence with the Palestinians would near certainly further aggravate volatile relations with Egypt.
Moreover, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry made it clear to Israel through diplomatic channels that Israel was now dealing with a new Egypt and that what was possible under the Mubarak regime -- ie tolerating Israeli excesses -- was no longer possible.
The Israeli army did kill as many as 15 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip during more than 27 hours of sustained air strikes. Several civilians, including children, were among the victims who also included a number of resistance commanders. Many others, mostly civilians, were wounded, some seriously.However, the relatively small number of Palestinian victims didn't satisfy the more hawkish members of the Israeli cabinet such as Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, who urged the government to bomb Gaza to the ground. Lieberman criticised Netanyahu's reluctant policy towards the Palestinians.Even if we offer the Palestinians Tel Aviv and a retreat to the 1947 borders, they will find a reason not to sign a peace agreement with us. Earlier, the bellicose Israeli foreign minister personally attacked Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas, saying the PA was an illegitimate government that doesn't conduct elections, and we shouldn't reach agreement with them.Turkish leaders, too, received a share of Lieberman's badmouthing. He called Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu liars, saying Israel wouldn't apologise for murdering nine Turkish citizens during the Israeli assault on a Turkish ship carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza last May.Netanyahu hit back at Lieberman, telling him that only the prime minister decides Israeli policies.
A Netanyahu aide, quoted by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, argued that the situation facing Israel now was drastically different from that which prevailed in 2008-09 when Israel launched its all- out devastating campaign against the Gaza Strip, killing and maiming thousands of Palestinians and destroying much of the civilian infrastructure in the coastal enclave.There is a sensitive situation in the Middle East, which is one big boiling pot; there is the international arena, there is the Palestinian move in the United Nations in September, we have to pick our way very carefully, the aide said.There is little doubt that the new reality in Egypt in particular is having a clear restraining impact on Israeli behaviour towards the Palestinians. One Israeli newspaper quoted former Arab League Secretary-General Amr Moussa as saying that Israel must be aware that the days when it kills our children without getting a strong, appropriate response are gone forever.Moussa's remarks are likely to reflect public opinion throughout Egypt, as thousands of Egyptians have been demonstrating against Israel, demanding stringent action against the Zionist entity for murdering five Egyptian border guards near Eilat last week.More to the point, Israel is especially worried that this is only the beginning and that the upcoming Egyptian elections will bring to the fore in Cairo a decidedly anti-Israeli leadership that would hold Israel to account every time it behaves characteristically.Israel is not only worried about the new Middle East where it faces mounting isolation. Israel is also worried about its eroding deterrence vis-Ã -vis the Palestinians, especially in the Gaza Strip.The measured Israeli response to the Eilat incident was by no means the kind of response Israelis had been used to seeing. This reduced deterrence is likely to embolden the PA leadership in Ramallah to ignore Israeli and American warnings against seeking UN recognition of a prospective Palestinian state in September.
Interestingly, the PA didn't explicitly condemn the Eilat incident as it would have done in different circumstances. The Eilat incident and the uncomfortable position facing Israel, especially at the regional level, prompted some Israeli writers to draw comparisons dating back to the 1973 wars, when then-Israeli prime minister Golda Meir shut her ears to the late Egyptian president Anwar Al-Sadat.Writing in Haaretz under the title When Israeli arrogance meets Arab honour, Israeli commentator Akiva Eldar reminded everyone that the thousands of victims of the October war of 1973 did not succeed in weaning Israelis off the curse of arrogance. It sticks its nose up so high that it blocks the view around the corner -- until the next violent clash.Eldar pointed out that millions of Arabs throughout the Middle East, including Egypt, were no longer willing to stomach Israeli arrogance. This time, the Israeli arrogance is encountering the honour of an Arab street that is undermining the old order. When they see on television Israeli soldiers fighting Arab children on the day after the declaration of a Palestinian state in the UN, the dissidents in Egypt, Tunisia, Jordan, Syria and Libya will not be cracking sunflower seeds in front of the television. I hope I will be proven wrong.
Israeli warplanes strike Gaza By the CNN Wire Staff
August 24, 2011 11:21 p.m. EDT
Gaza City (CNN) -- Israeli warplanes struck several times Wednesday and early Thursday along the country's border with Gaza, killing three people and wounding several others, medical sources told CNN.Early Thursday, an Israeli warplane shot missiles at a social club in northern Gaza, killing two people and wounding 20, including women and children, medical sources said.On Wednesday, an air strike on a tunnel between Rafa and Egypt left three people seriously wounded, the sources said.
The Israel Defense Forces said that an Israeli warplane hit an Islamic Jihad militant from the city of Rafa who was involved in smuggling weapons and sought the execution of terrorist activity in Sinai.The victim had operated with Gaza elements who had recently tried to carry out an attack in Sinai, on Israel's border with Egypt, it added.Hamas security and medical sources reported a strike in Rafa in which one man was killed and three others were wounded, two of them critically, when their Jeep was struck.The four men were members of Islamic Jihad, sources with the Palestinian militant group said.In response, Islamic Jihad said Wednesday night that its members had fired about 10 rockets from Gaza into southern Israel. There was no immediate report of casualties.The IDF said in a news release that it fired Wednesday night at a terrorist squad that had fired rockets into southern Israel.A hit was confirmed, it said.On Wednesday morning, the IDF reported that two people who had fired rockets at Israel from separate locations in northern Gaza were hit moments afterward by an Israeli aircraft.The flare-up between Israel and Palestinians in Gaza came following an attack carried out by Palestinian militants last Thursday near the southern city of Eilat, which killed eight Israelis. Another Israeli was killed by a rocket attack near the city of Beer Sheva in southern Israel.
The IDF will not tolerate any attempt to harm Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers, and will respond with determination to any attempt to use terror against the State of Israel, the IDF news release said.The U.N. special coordinator for the Middle East peace process, Richard Serry, issued a statement Sunday saying he remains worried about the continuing tensions in particular the escalation of violence in Gaza and Southern Israel.He called for a return to calm and said the United Nations is actively engaged and supporting Egypt's important efforts in this regard, a reference to Egypt's attempt to better control the Sinai.CNN's Talal Abu Rahma contributed to this story.
Profile: Fatah Palestinian movement Founded by Yasser Arafat in the 1950s, Fatah was once the cornerstone of the Palestinian national cause, but its power has since faded.
Under Arafat's leadership, the group originally promoted an armed struggle against Israel to create a Palestinian state. But it later recognised Israel's right to exist, and its leaders have led Palestinian peace talks aimed at reaching a two-state solution.Arafat signed the first interim peace deal with Israel in 1993 in Oslo, but a full accord has proved elusive, despite decades of on-off negotiations - the latest round launched by President Barack Obama at the White House last September.Oslo Accords signing at White House in Sept 1993 Yasser Arafat shakes hands with Israeli PM Yitzhak Rabin in 1993, as US President Bill Clinton looks on
Since Arafat's death in 2004, Fatah has fallen from its position of dominance and, in 2006, lost parliamentary elections to rival Palestinian movement Hamas. In June 2007 it was effectively driven out of the Gaza Strip after violent clashes between the two factions.Now led by another of its founders, Mahmoud Abbas, Fatah has also seen its power steadily eroded by internal divisions.The party has been dogged by claims of nepotism and corruption in government and critics say it is in desperate need of reform.
Armed resistance
Fatah is the reverse acronym of Harakat al-Tahrir al-Filistiniya (Palestinian Liberation Movement). The name means conquest in Arabic.Founded by Arafat and a handful of close comrades in the late 1950s, its leaders wanted to rally Palestinians in the diaspora in neighbouring Arab states to launch commando raids on the young Israeli state.In 1969, Arafat took over as chairman of the PLO, the umbrella group created by Arab states to represent the Palestinians on the international stage.
Fatah: Key facts
Secular, nationalist movement with the aim of establishing a Palestinian state
Dogged by claims of nepotism and corruption; Lacking a cohesive vision and values
Major force within the PLO umbrella group and its interim governing body, the Palestinian Authority
Holds 45 of 132 seats in parliament (PLC), after 2006 Hamas election victory with 74 seats
But various Palestinian groups within the PLO gradually split off as Fatah proved to them either too ineffective, too corrupt, or too moderate.By the time of the first intifada - or uprising - in 1988, Fatah's power had been significantly diluted. The party became the chief proponent of a negotiated solution with Israel, and by 1993 accepted Israel's right to exist.The second intifada saw a number of armed groups associated with Fatah emerge, most notably the al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades. The Brigades are neither officially recognised nor openly backed by Fatah, though members often belong to the political faction.During the intifada, the Brigades carried out numerous operations against Israeli soldiers and settlers in the West Bank and Gaza, and suicide attacks on civilians inside Israel.Israel's responses to the intense campaign of attacks in 2002 further weakened Arafat and Fatah's authority, and left the Arafat-led Palestinian Authority in disarray.Much of the authority's infrastructure was destroyed, Arafat's compound in Ramallah was besieged for five weeks, and Israel captured Marwan Barghouti - the Fatah leader in the West Bank who Israel alleges is the head of al-Aqsa Brigades. He was later convicted of murder.
Peace track
With international pressure mounting, Fatah - though notably not the al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades - signed a declaration rejecting attacks on civilians in Israel and committing themselves to peace and co-existence.In late October 2004, Arafat was taken ill and flown to France for emergency treatment. He died of a mysterious blood disorder on 11 November.Mahmoud Abbas was confirmed as Arafat's successor as chairman of the PLO shortly afterwards and, as Fatah's candidate, won a landslide victory in the January 2005 presidential elections.But Mr Abbas inherited a party that was divided, in need of reform, and losing its popular support.The loss of Yasser Arafat allowed a rift to develop between the party's old guard of former exiles and its new guard, led by the jailed Marwan Barghouti.Fatah has also suffered from being associated with the perceived corruption and incompetence of the Palestinian Authority.
Hamas rift
Hamas' overwhelming victory in the 2006 parliamentary election dealt another huge blow to the group, and caused further disarray in the Palestinian Authority (PA) led by Mr Abbas.The PA authority now extends to Palestinian-controlled areas of the West Bank, but since June 2007, it has had little sway in Gaza.Marwan Barghouti appears in Tel Aviv District Court, 2002 Marwan Barghouti still influences Fatah from inside an Israeli prison
Mr Abbas has overrun his term as president of the PA - it should have ended in January 2008 - drawing the legitimacy of his leadership into question.Despite that, Mr Abbas went to Washington in September 2010, aiming to re-launch peace talks with the Israelis on behalf of all Palestinians. The talks collapsed within a matter of weeks over Israel's refusal to stop building settlements.Apparently disillusioned with the peace process, Mr Abbas turned his attention to achieving a reconciliation deal at home.In May, he and Hamas leader, Khaled Meshaal, signed a deal in Egypt's capital Cairo aimed at ending their four-year rift.Although Palestinians have welcomed the deal, they remain sceptical about whether the two sides can iron out their differences on a number of key issues and work together for the common cause - establishing an independent Palestinian state.
Q&A: Palestinian statehood bid at the UN
Palestinians wave their national flag at a demonstration in Gaza Recent rally against Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory on the anniversary of the 1967 war.Palestinian officials plan to ask the United Nations to recognise an independent Palestinian state within 1967 borders if there is no progress in the peace process by September.The idea is strongly opposed by Israel and its close ally, the United States.Here is a guide to what is likely to happen and its significance.
Q. What are the Palestinians asking for?
The Palestinians, as represented by the Palestinian Authority, have long sought to establish an independent, sovereign state in the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem - occupied by Israel since the 1967 Six Day War. Although the Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas has said he would prefer to achieve this through negotiations, two decades of on-and-off peace talks have failed to produce a deal.Late last year, Palestinian officials began pursuing a new diplomatic strategy: asking individual countries to recognise a Palestinian state within 1967 borders. Now they want the UN to do the same. This would entitle them to full member state representation at the UN, where the Palestine Liberation Organisation currently has only observer status. It could also have political implications allowing Palestinians greater access to international courts where they could possibly launch legal action to challenge the occupation of territory by Israel.
Q. What is the process?
The 15-member UN Security Council needs to recommend statehood to the General Assembly. If it does, then a vote on membership by its 193 members could take place on 20 September. Approval requires a two-thirds majority - or 128 votes. Currently 122 countries are said to recognise Palestine but the Palestinians hope they would gain the support of up to 150.United Nations General Assembly Palestinians believe over two-thirds of the General Assembly would recognise their statehood.The US is the main obstacle to a General Assembly vote because it has veto power as a permanent Security Council member. In February, the US vetoed a resolution, which was co-sponsored by 130 countries, condemning Israeli settlements in the Palestinian territories as an obstacle to peace. This time around, the Palestinians are hoping to persuade the US to at least abstain.As a back-up, they are exploring other possible legal options. These include a loophole created by a 1950 resolution, which may allow the Security Council to be bypassed on issues of world peace. The Palestinians and their supporters are also looking at ways to press for UN General Assembly resolution 181 of 1947 to be enforced. The resolution calls for the partition of British Mandate Palestine into a Jewish state and an Arab one. At the very least, the Palestinians say they want the General Assembly to accept Palestine as an observer state.
Q. Is this symbolic or would it change facts on the ground?
Getting UN recognition of Palestinian statehood on 1967 borders would largely have symbolic value, building on previous UN decisions. Already Security Council resolution 242, which followed the Six Day War, demanded the withdrawal of Israeli armed forces from territories occupied in the recent conflict. Although Israel disputes the precise meaning of this, there is wide international acceptance that the pre-1967 frontiers should form the basis of a peace settlement.The problem for the Palestinians is that Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu does not agree with the premise. In May, when President Barack Obama called for border talks based broadly on 1967 lines, Mr Netanyahu described the idea as unrealistic and indefensible.It is unlikely that UN recognition of a Palestinian state would persuade Israel to concede possession of occupied land. New facts on the ground have been created since 1967, Israelis have insisted over the years. Almost half a million Israelis live in more than 200 settlements and outposts in the West Bank. Mutually agreed land swaps have been suggested as a way to overcome this and could only be agreed by negotiations.The Palestinians argue that recognition of a Palestinian state would strengthen their hands in peace talks with Israel. They say these would have to resume, in order to resolve other issues such as security, water, refugees and arrangements for sharing Jerusalem, which both sides claim as their capital. However Israeli officials object to recognition of a Palestinian state in advance of such agreements as putting the carriage before the horse.
Q. Why is this happening now?
The main reason is the impasse in peace talks. However, the Palestinians also argue that their UN plan fits with an agreed deadline. The Middle East Peace Quartet - the European Union, United States, Russia and UN - committed itself to the target of achieving a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict by September 2011. The Palestinian Authority Prime Minister, Salam Fayyad, says that Palestinians have succeeded in building up state institutions and are ready for statehood.Recent Arab uprisings also appear to have energised Palestinian public opinion. Civil society groups may hold street demonstrations to show their backing for the UN option.
Q. How is this different from previous declarations?
In 1988, the late Palestinian leader, Yasser Arafat, unilaterally declared the establishment of a state. This won recognition from about 100 countries, mainly Arab, Communist and non-aligned states - several of them in Latin America. Recognition of Palestine as a sovereign state by the UN would have greater impact as it is the overarching international body and a source of authority on international law.
Q. Who supports and opposes the UN option?
This course of action enjoys wide support among Palestinians. After the recent reconciliation deal between rival political factions, even leaders of the Islamic militant organisation, Hamas, acknowledged there was a broad consensus on the establishment of a Palestinian state within 1967 borders, though they formally still refuse to recognise Israel and their Charter is committed to its destruction. The appeal to the UN is also backed by the 22-member Arab League.President Obama greeting Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last September The latest US push to bring the Israelis and Palestinians back to negotiations quickly stalled.The main opposition comes from Israel. Peace can only be achieved around the negotiating table. The Palestinian attempt to impose a settlement will not bring peace, Mr Netanyahu told a joint session of the US Congress in May. Mr Obama has criticised the Palestinian push. In his major speech on the Middle East he dismissed it as symbolic actions to isolate Israel at the United Nations.Some major European Union states are looking increasingly favourably on the idea of recognising a Palestinian state. This is mainly because of their disappointment with Mr Netanyahu's government in Israel-Palestinian peace talks and what they see as its recalcitrance over settlements.In the coming weeks, both Palestinian and Israeli delegations will be on a diplomatic drive to win countries around to their point of view.
Israel blames Gaza-based Palestinian terrorist group for coordinated attacks By Laura Rozen | The Envoy – Fri, Aug 19, 2011
Israel is still reeling from Thursday's series of terrorist attacks that killed eight Israeli citizens and wounded 30 more near the Jewish state's southern border with Egypt. And beyond the immediate shock of the attacks, analysts are also concerned about the potential for violence to escalate.Israel blamed the attacks on a shadowy Palestinian terrorist group called the Popular Resistance Committees (PRC), based in the Gaza strip. The group reportedly has ties to both Hamas' military wing and the Iranian- and Syrian-backed Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.
The attacks began at noon on Thursday. Gunmen reportedly crossed from the Gaza strip into Egypt and then into southern Israel and opened fire on an Egged bus traveling from the southern city of Beersheva to the resort town of Eilat. That assault wounded seven people, according to a timeline of the attacks published by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz. Half an hour later, an Israeli Defense Forces unit responding to that attack was wounded by an explosive device. At 12:35 p.m., mortars were fired from Egypt into Israel, but no one was hurt; by 1:10, an Israeli anti-tank vehicle fielded shots near the Egyptian-Israeli border, wounding seven more people. At nearly the same moment, at 1:11 p.m., another anti-tank missile was fired at a private vehicle, killing six people. In all, eight people were killed, including six civilians, and two Israeli security forces.Israel began retaliating Thursday evening by bombing the Popular Resistance Committee's headquarters in Rafah, on the Gaza Strip's border with Egypt. The Israeli counterattack killed the head of the PRC, and several of his aides, as well as a Palestinian boy. The Israeli air force has continued to strike targets in Gaza, killing two more PRC members on Friday in a Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza, Al Jazeera's Safwat Al Kahlout reported. It has also retaliated against rocket attacks coming from Egypt.Israel will exact a heavy price, a very heavy price from those who attempt to escalate terrorist war against Israel [and] believe that they can attack our citizens and get away with it,Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed in a press conference Thursday, Al Jazeera reported. Netanyahu thanked Israeli security forces for wiping out the leaders of the PRC.Israeli officials asserted that the PRC had set out to kidnap Israelis, although they did not provide evidence for the claim. The group reportedly was one of three that took credit for kidnapping Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit in June 2006. That incident preceded a Hezbollah provocation on Israel's northern border and Israel's subsequent 2006 war in Lebanon.
Israeli officials were more cautious about assigning culpability to Egypt for the fact that the assailants reportedly crossed through Egyptian territory to perpetrate the attacks. Instead, they focused blame on Gaza, which is controlled by the Palestinian militant group Hamas.This is a serious terror attack that took place in several locations, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said Thursday, Haaretz reported. The incident shows the weakening Egyptian grip on Sinai and the widening operation of terrorists there. The source of these terror acts is in Gaza and we will act against them with full force.But analysts cautioned that many questions remain unresolved about the incident--from its ultimate aims to its specific source. A spokesman for the PRC denied Friday that the group carried out the attacks, though he went on to praise them, Agence France Press reported Friday.There are lots of questions regarding this incident,said Jeffrey White, a former Defense analyst with the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, in an email to The Envoy Thursday. Asserting close ties between the PRC and Hamas, a real question, White wrote,is Hamas knowledge/involvement.And with that specter on the horizon, he added, there is plenty of potential here for escalation.Furthermore, the incident is seriously aggravating Israeli-Egyptian relations, White continued, in an analysis prepared with Ehud Yaari for the Institute, citing Cairo's complaints that Israel killed and wounded several Egyptian soldiers in responding to rocket fire coming from Sinai.The scenarios range from it was this group [the PRC], with or without the knowledge of the military wing from Hamas, said Hussein Ibish, an Arab-American analyst with the American Task Force for Palestine, in a telephone interview with The Envoy Friday. Or that could be a convenient scapegoat. I have absolutely no way of knowing.But Ibish suggested it was worth considering the regional context, and the potentially useful distraction such an attack might pose for Syria's embattled leader Bashar al-Assad and his key regional ally Iran. The West and the Arab world alike have condemned Assad's brutal crackdown against domestic anti-government unrest; President Obama indeed announced this week that the United States supports Assad's ouster.
There's no evidence of a Syrian or Iranian role; but one could posit scenarios where people in the region might like to have flare ups, Ibish said. These things often do have a regional context. Even small groups [such as the PRC] can be a proxy for various regional actors, he noted.A Reuters analysis of the PRC also notes that the group uses an emblem that bears a strong resemblance to the Iranian and Syrian-backed Lebanese militant group Hezbollah. Reuters also reported that Israel believes the group gets backing from Hezbollah.The United States sharply condemned the attacks, in statements from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the White House.

1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
REVELATION 17:3,7,9-10,12,18
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
We shall have World Government, whether or not we like it. The only question is whether World Government will be achieved by conquest or consent.James Paul Warburg appearing before the Senate on 7th February 1950

What we need is a man who is great enough to be able to keep all the people in subjection to himself and to lift us out of the economic bog into which we threaten to sink. Send us such a man.

REVELATION 6:1-2,13:1-3,7-9,16
1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.(THIS IS THE EU DICTATOR)
1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.(7 HEADS ARE THE 7TH WORLD EMPIRE IN HISTORY (THE EU) AS WELL AS THE VATICAN WHICH IS BUILT ON 7 HILLS. 10 HORNS ARE 10 KINGS THAT ARISE FROM THE EU, THEN #11 COMES ON THE SCENE BECOMES THE HEAD OF 3 OUNTRIES AND THEN THE EU DICTATOR, COMES FROM 1 OF THE 3 COUNTRIES THAT RULE FOR THIS TERM.

FROM 1 OF THESE 3 COUNTRIES COME THE FUTURE EU DICTATOR PRESIDENT OF THE EUROPEAN UNION WHO GUARENTEES ISRAELS SECURITY FOR A LAND FOR PEACE 7 YEAR TREATY.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.(THE JEWISH EU DICTATOR GETS HIS POWER FROM SATAN,HE COMES FROM THE OCCULT).

37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers,(THIS EU DICTATOR IS A EUROPEAN JEW) nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities,(DEMONIC ANGELS IN HIGH PLACES) against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.(SPIRTIUAL DEMONIC PERSONS)
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

REVELATION 13:1-3,7,8,12,16-18
1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
16 And he causeth all,(WORLD SOCIALISM) both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
REVELATION 17:3,7,9-10,12,18
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

Like a famous WWII Belgian General,Paul Henry Spock said in 1957:We need no commission, we have already too many. What we need is a man who is great enough to be able to keep all the people in subjection to himself and to lift us out of the economic bog into which we threaten to sink. Send us such a man. Be he a god or a devil, we will accept him.And today, sadly, the world is indeed ready for such a man.

Abbas Wants US-led NATO Force for PA State-PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas told US lawmakers he wants a US-led NATO force to provide security for the future Palestinian state.by Gavriel Queenann Published: 12/08/11, 1:40 PM
Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas told visiting US Congressmen on Thursday he wants the security of a future PA state to be handed to NATO under US command, the Maan news agency reported Friday.The PA state must also be empty of settlements, Abbas said, according to official Palestinian Authority news agency WAFA.Members of the US Congress and Senate delegation, headed by Democrat Senator Steny Hoyer, met with Abbas in Ramallah on Thursday, and quizzed Abbas on Israel's designation as a Jewish state, the status of refugees, and reconciliation between Abbas' Fatah party and rival Hamas, Presidential adviser Nimir Hamad said. Abbas reiterated the Palestinian Authority's well-known positions on these matters, Hammad added, and specified that security responsibility for the Palestinian Authority would be handled by a third party, suggesting the US-Europe military alliance NATO.
In September 2010, Abbas outlined his government's acceptance of international forces from NATO or similar to the UNIFIL force operating in southern Lebanon playing a role in PA security, as long as forces did not include one single Israeli, whether from the civilian population or the military.Abbas is currently pursuing a unilateral recognition of PA statehood based on pre-1967 lines at the United Nations in September.

16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.

Landau: Time to Cancel the Oslo Accords-Minister Uzi Landau calls to cancel absurd Oslo agreements as PA seeks unilateral state. Israel must prepare for September violence.by Maayana Miskin Published: 12/08/11, 1:18 PM
The time has come for Israel to cancel the Oslo Accords, Minister of National Infrastructure Uzi Landau told Arutz Sheva. The absurd accords should be canceled both because of the Palestinian Authority's plan to seek unilateral statehood, and because they are harmful, he said.These agreements were absurd and grave, and did serious damage to Israel's security, he argued.No less importantly, they paved the way to give legitimacy to the existence of a Palestinian people and to the argument that they deserve a state in Judea and Samaria, the cradle of our society. These accords turned the leader of a terrorist gang, Yasser Arafat, into a supposed cultured leader worthy of joining the society of nations,he continued. When Israel gives legitimacy to the PA, the organization that was established with the position that we turned them into poor refugees,it then struggles to present any alternative view, he said.Israel must inform the PA that going to the United Nations to seek recognition of a unilaterally declared PA state will mean an end to any and all agreements reached between Israel and the PA until that point, Landau stated. In addition, They must be informed that [Israel] will declare sovereignty over large territories in the national consensus, like Area C and the settlement blocs, he said.
The reality [created] will be new and different.
PA State - Arab Suffering
If the PA does go to UN, it will win majority support, even if leading democracies are against its plans, Landau said. The PA must realize that if it does go to the UN, the price they will pay will be very high,he said.For example, he said, despite several dry years in a row, PA Arabs remain able to turn on their faucets and be confident that water will come out – a confidence not shared by their neighbors in Syria and elsewhere. If the PA cuts ties with Israel, the lifestyle enjoyed by those under its leadership will sink to meet the level of residents of other Arab states.
Israel Must Prepare for Violence
Despite the PA's public talk of non-violent protests, Israel must prepare for violence, Landau warned. We look at our neighbors and we see what non-violent protests' look like in the Middle East. We will need to defend ourselves, he declared.Anyone who does not appreciate the danger is naive. For them, the distance between going out to protest and pulling a trigger is very short, he added.

European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton on Friday parroted Palestinian Authority officials saying renewed Jersualem construction by Israel was a threat to the two-state solution.Ashton said she deeply regets information of the publicly stated intention of the Israeli government to continue settlement expansion in east Jerusalem,adding that the EU has repeatedly called on Israel to end all settlement activity.Continued construction in the Judea, Samaria, and Jerusalem, Ashton said, threatens the viability of an agreed two-state solution and undermines ongoing efforts to resume negotiations.Arutz Sheva notes: Ashton's comments were in reference to Interior Minister Eli Yishai's appoval Thursday of 1,600 new housing units in Jerusalem's Ramat Shlomo neighborhood, which in fact is northern Jerusalem, between Ramot with 60,000 Jewish residents and the Har Hotzvim Industrial Park. It was empty hills before the reunification of the city in 1967. Ms Ashton would do well to look at a map of the city.Arabs and anti-Zionist media call all areas reunited with Jerusalem in 1967 eastern Jerusalem, giving the impression that the eastern, Arab-populated section that was occupied by Jordan until then is going to have an influx of thousands of Jews that will crowd Arab out.
At the beginning of next week, the Interior Ministry is expecting to give the final approval to two additional projects in Jerusalem – 2,000 housing units in southern Jerusalem's Givat Hamatos, adjacent to Gilo and once used as an absorption center for Ethiopian Jews, and 625 units in Pisgat Ze’ev in northern Jerusalem past French Hill, Yishai’s spokesman Roei Lachmanovich said.Israel, whose government returned to its historic capital of thousands of years since the inception of the modern Jewish state, regards Jerusalem as anything but a settlement and has said it will remain Israel's eternal and undivided capital.

Abbas Wants US-led NATO Force for PA State-PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas told US lawmakers he wants a US-led NATO force to provide security for the future Palestinian state.by Gavriel Queenann Published: 12/08/11, 1:40 PM
Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas told visiting US Congressmen on Thursday he wants the security of a future PA state to be handed to NATO under US command, the Maan news agency reported Friday.The PA state must also be empty of settlements, Abbas said, according to official Palestinian Authority news agency WAFA.Members of the US Congress and Senate delegation, headed by Democrat Senator Steny Hoyer, met with Abbas in Ramallah on Thursday, and quizzed Abbas on Israel's designation as a Jewish state, the status of refugees, and reconciliation between Abbas' Fatah party and rival Hamas, Presidential adviser Nimir Hamad said. Abbas reiterated the Palestinian Authority's well-known positions on these matters, Hammad added, and specified that security responsibility for the Palestinian Authority would be handled by a third party, suggesting the US-Europe military alliance NATO.
In September 2010, Abbas outlined his government's acceptance of international forces from NATO or similar to the UNIFIL force operating in southern Lebanon playing a role in PA security, as long as forces did not include one single Israeli, whether from the civilian population or the military.Abbas is currently pursuing a unilateral recognition of PA statehood based on pre-1967 lines at the United Nations in September.

DANIEL 11:21-23
21 And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
23 And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people.
24 He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.

ISAIAH 28:14-19 (THIS IS THE 7 YR TREATY COVENANT OF DANIEL 9:27)
14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.
Landau: Time to Cancel the Oslo Accords-Minister Uzi Landau calls to cancel absurd Oslo agreements as PA seeks unilateral state. Israel must prepare for September violence.by Maayana Miskin Published: 12/08/11, 1:18 PM
The time has come for Israel to cancel the Oslo Accords, Minister of National Infrastructure Uzi Landau told Arutz Sheva. The absurd accords should be canceled both because of the Palestinian Authority's plan to seek unilateral statehood, and because they are harmful, he said.These agreements were absurd and grave, and did serious damage to Israel's security, he argued.No less importantly, they paved the way to give legitimacy to the existence of a Palestinian people and to the argument that they deserve a state in Judea and Samaria, the cradle of our society. These accords turned the leader of a terrorist gang, Yasser Arafat, into a supposed cultured leader worthy of joining the society of nations,he continued. When Israel gives legitimacy to the PA, the organization that was established with the position that we turned them into poor refugees,it then struggles to present any alternative view, he said.Israel must inform the PA that going to the United Nations to seek recognition of a unilaterally declared PA state will mean an end to any and all agreements reached between Israel and the PA until that point, Landau stated. In addition, They must be informed that [Israel] will declare sovereignty over large territories in the national consensus, like Area C and the settlement blocs, he said.
The reality [created] will be new and different.
PA State - Arab Suffering
If the PA does go to UN, it will win majority support, even if leading democracies are against its plans, Landau said. The PA must realize that if it does go to the UN, the price they will pay will be very high,he said.For example, he said, despite several dry years in a row, PA Arabs remain able to turn on their faucets and be confident that water will come out – a confidence not shared by their neighbors in Syria and elsewhere. If the PA cuts ties with Israel, the lifestyle enjoyed by those under its leadership will sink to meet the level of residents of other Arab states.
Israel Must Prepare for Violence
Despite the PA's public talk of non-violent protests, Israel must prepare for violence, Landau warned. We look at our neighbors and we see what non-violent protests' look like in the Middle East. We will need to defend ourselves, he declared.Anyone who does not appreciate the danger is naive. For them, the distance between going out to protest and pulling a trigger is very short, he added.
