In 2,000 Year First, Christians Publicly Rally in Jerusalem in Support of Jewish Sovereignty Over Temple Mount-By Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz October 8, 2015 , 1:30 pm-breakingisraelnews
“For out of Zion shall go the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.” (Isaiah 2:3–4)--A crucial war is being waged over the Temple Mount and standing on the front line, allied with Israel and the nation of Israel, is Cry For Zion, a movement of Christian Zionists from all over the world who recently united in support of Jewish sovereignty over the Temple Mount.On October 1, during the Jewish holiday of Sukkot (Tabernacles), the organization held a demonstration at UN headquarters in Jerusalem overlooking Mount Zion. According to Cry for Zion, this was the first time in 2,000 years since Christians have publicly demonstrated in support of Jewish rights to the holy site.Amidst international pressure to maintain the status quo on the Temple Mount, Cry for Zion is literally crying out to change it. The status quo, maintained since Israel re-conquered the Temple Mount and unified Jerusalem in 1967, grants authority over the holiest site in Judaism to the Muslim Waqf. Jews and Christians are permitted to visit the site but they are entirely forbidden from praying or displaying any religious symbols. Jews may not eat or drink on the Temple Mount since this would require them to say a blessing, which the Waqf guard forbids.These religious restrictions are strictly enforced by the Israeli Police in an unsuccessful attempt to reduce Arab violence on the site, despite an Israeli Magistrate Court ruling and the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which calls for freedom of religion.Christians from countries all over the world came to show their support for Israel and the Jewish people. Lars Enarson, a Christian leader from Sweden and Cry For Zion co-founder, told those gathered, “Neither the UN in New York, nor the International Law centers of the Hague have any right to claim the role that belongs to Jerusalem and the Temple Mount. ‘For out of Zion shall go the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem’ (Isaiah 2:3–4).”Such an unequivocal display of support for the Jew’s right to the site of their two Temples could not go uncontested. Muslim hecklers nearby and workers at the UN began chanting “Allahu Akbar”, with rally participants responding by resoundingly crying out the words of 1 Kings 18:39, “The Lord, He is God! the Lord, He is God!” and “Shema Israel!”The Cry for Zion rally continued to show their support for the Jewish nation by marching in the annual Jerusalem March, but it is a sadly poignant sign of the times that the Jerusalem Municipality did not allow them to display their banner which read, “For Jewish Freedom on the Temple Mount”. It is, however, reassuring to note that until they furled their banner, it received cheers and accolades from the mostly-Christian participants at the parade.The rally ended at the Menachem Begin Heritage Center, where Rabbi Yehudah Glick, founder of the Temple Mount Heritage Foundation, addressed the assembled. Glick is a leading advocate for religious freedom on the Temple Mount and recipient of the 2015 Moskowitz Prize for Zionism.“It is a wonderful Godly breakthrough that more and more non-Jews are understanding the urgent need to get involved and to stand up on behalf of the Temple Mount,” Glick told Breaking Israel News following the event.John Enarson, Lars’ son and co-founder of the movement, told Breaking Israel News that the deteriorating situation surrounding the Temple Mount is really a “battle for truth.”This is really a battle for truth. Especially in Jerusalem, the truth is getting turned on its head. There are so many lies taking over the world that we need to guard the truth,” Enarson explained to Breaking Israel News. “To say one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter just isn’t true. The nations are looking to Israel for righteousness, truth and objectivity. We need Israel to be the light and we can see the light coming forth from Zion, from the people and even from the government.”
Rabbi Kanievsky: Yell it From Loudspeakers, the Messiah is at the Door-By Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz October 15, 2015 , 11:30 am
“’Behold, I am going to send My messenger, and he will clear the way before Me. And the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple; and the messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight, behold, He is coming,’ says the LORD of hosts. But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears?” (Malachi 3:1)--The Messiah is “standing at the doorway” and it is up to each one of us to usher in his arrival, a leading spiritual leader of the Jewish nation was quoted as saying.Rabbi Chizkiyahu Mishkovsky, the spiritual adviser for several distinguished yeshivot (religious learning centers) in Israel, told a gathering at a Lev L’Achim event in Bnei Brak earlier this week that, speaking in the name of Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky, the arrival of the Messiah is close.“My dear brothers, I would like to tell you something very interesting. One of those who is very close and dear to Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky came to me recently and said that Rabbi Kanievsky told him to go out and tell the people, ‘We are in one of the most critical hours for the nation of Israel. We are on the threshold of the Messiah, and the Messiah is standing just outside the door, and the only way to be saved is through learning Torah, and through works of loving kindness.’”Rabbi Mishkovsky’s statement, recorded and posted on YouTube, attracted a great deal of attention since Rabbi Kanievsky is one of the leading figures in Haredi Jewish society today. The announcement was well received by those at the gathering.Rabbi Mishkovsky also revealed that Rabbi Kanievsky also gave him a startling mission. He was told in no uncertain terms to begin to announce to all of Israel the imminent arrival of the Messiah.“When his dear grandson, Yanki Kanievsky, was by his side, he wrote him a note saying, ‘Let it be known to all the children of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, even to those who are secular, let it be known that the only way to be saved is through Torah and works of loving kindness, and there is no other way.’”The rabbi even gave instructions as to how to carry out his mission. “I asked the Rabbi, ‘How will I let it be known? Yell it into a loudspeaker?’ And the Rabbi said, ‘Yes, take a loudspeaker and go around the whole country to tell this to the people. Yell it out loud.”The latest revelation is consistent with various statements made by the spiritual leader lately. Recently, Rabbi Kanievsky related a teaching in the Talmud, a central rabbinical text in Judaism, that explicitly states that the Messiah will come the year following a shmittah year. The rabbi hinted that this year was ripe for the arrival of the Messiah upon the conclusion of the shmittah year one month ago.Read more at http://ift.tt/1VVYa2C

Our World: The Nuclear Deal’s True Purpose-By Caroline Glick October 15, 2015 , 12:00 pm-breakingisraelnews
It works out that US President Barack Obama’s signature diplomatic achievement, his nuclear deal with Iran, has nothing to do with preventing Iran from becoming a nuclear power or even with placing restrictions on Iran’s nuclear activities.Just weeks after Obama led the international community in concluding the nuclear pact with Iran, the Iranian regime filed a complaint with the UN Security Council accusing the US of committing a material breach of the agreement.The US action that precipitated the complaint was a statement by White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest claiming that if Iran violates the deal, “the military option would remain on the table.”In making the statement, Earnest was responding to a hypothetical question regarding what the US would do if the Iranians breached the deal.Earnest explained that not only would the US then consider attacking Iran’s nuclear installations militarily, but that its “military option would be enhanced because we’d been spending the intervening number of years gathering significantly more detail about Iran’s nuclear program.”“So when it comes to the targeting decisions,” he continued, “our capabilities [would be] improved, based on the knowledge that has been gained in the intervening years through this inspections regime.”The Iranians argued that Earnest’s statement was a material breach of the nuclear agreement because under Iran’s interpretation of the deal, UN inspectors are barred from sharing sensitive information they collect during the course of their site visits.As Tower Magazine pointed out at the time, Earnest’s remarks gave the Iranians a justification for refusing to allow UN nuclear inspectors from entering their nuclear sites. Indeed, Earnest’s remarks gave Iran a rationale for vacating its signature on the agreement.Like the US and the other parties to the agreement, the Iranians can vacate their signature if they feel their claims against other parties’ perceived breaches of their commitments are not properly addressed by the relevant UN agencies. According to Obama, if Iran walks away from the deal, it will take the mullocracy up to a year to develop nuclear weapons.Whereas Iran can use the deal to advance its nuclear program and then walk away, the US cannot use the deal to prevent Iran either from advancing its nuclear program or from walking away from the deal.Sunday Iran test-fired a new ballistic missile. According to Iranian Defense Minister Hossein Dehghan, unlike the Shihab intermediate-range surface-to-surface missiles that Iran already fields, the new Emad missile is precision guided. The Wall Street Journal reported that experts assess its range at 1,300 km.The missile test is not a violation of the agreement. Last month US Secretary of State John Kerry acknowledged in a letter to Senator Marco Rubio that the deal does not restrict Iran’s ballistic missile program. Rather, Kerry claimed, Iran’s ballistic missile program is restricted by the Security Council resolution passed July 20 which calls on Iran “not to undertake any activity related to ballistic missiles designed to be capable of delivering nuclear weapons, including launches using such ballistic missile technology,” for eight years.In response to Iran’s missile test Sunday, State Department spokesman John Kirby said the US would take “appropriate actions” at the UN if the tests violated the resolution. Unfortunately, Iran probably didn’t violate the resolution. Because whether the missile test was a violation or not is open to interpretation. Iran’s position is that the test is permitted because, it claims, it has nothing to do with its nuclear program. And because of the way Obama negotiated the nuclear deal and the Security Council resolution, Iran’s word is just as good as America’s on this score.Moreover, even under the unlikely scenario that the administration determines that Iran’s missile test violated the Security Council resolution, such a conclusion will make no difference.As Amir Taheri explained in The New York Post, America’s negotiating partners from the P5+1 view the nuclear deal as little more than a trade deal with Iran. Since they signed on in July, the Germans have expanded their trade with Iran 33 percent, making Germany Iran’s third largest trading partner.Britain has lifted its restrictions on Iranian banks.France has sent a 100-man delegation of salivating businessmen to Tehran.China has penned an agreement to build Iran five nuclear reactors.Russia has not only agreed to sell Iran the advanced S-300 air defense system and begun negotiating the sale of Sukhoi fighter jets, Russia has gone to war in coalition with Iran in Syria.Other states, including India, Turkey, Austria and the UAE are all clamoring for deals in Iran. The question of whether or not Iran actually abides by the deal’s nuclear limitations is the furthest thing from anyone’s mind.Given the circumstances, the idea that Obama’s much touted “snapback” sanctions will actually be implemented if and when Iran is caught cheating on the nuclear deal or the restrictions on its ballistic missile program is a joke.Kerry admitted to Congress that the US has given assurances to the Russians and Chinese that in the event sanctions are re-imposed they will not jeopardize those nations’ trade with Iran.So sanctions, which Obama himself insisted failed in the past to prevent Iran from advancing its nuclear program, cannot be reimposed, even if they are passed in the Security Council.And they won’t be passed in the Security Council because no one on the Security Council is paying attention to whether or not Iran keeps its side of the agreement. And even if they did pay attention, and decide that Iran has breached the accord, Iran will simply walk away from the deal with little to no international response.In his much cited article published last week about Obama’s ill-treatment of Israel during the course of his nuclear talks with Iran, ambassador Dennis Ross wrote that Obama’s commitment to preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons was never straightforward.The issue of whether the administration would take all measures to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons or would merely seek to contain a nuclear Iran was never settled.In a speech at a Washington synagogue last May, Obama insisted that he has a “personal stake” in ensuring the deal prevents Iran from developing nuclear weapons because “this deal will have my name on it.”But as the deal’s substance and the behavior of the US’s negotiating partners makes clear, the purpose of the nuclear accord isn’t to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. It is to get Obama off the hook and place the deal’s opponents in the dock.By giving Iran the right to walk away whenever it claims the US has breached the deal, Obama has ensured that Iran will walk away, and has given himself the means to blame the Republicans for the deal’s failure.Just as the Iranians used Earnest’s statement as a reason for leaving the deal, so they should be expected to use any limitation the US places on implementing the deal as a means to vacate their signature and walk away.Last week we learned that aspects of the US ’s commitments to Iran under the deal are illegal under US law. If the Republican Congress tries to force Obama to obey the law (that he himself signed), Obama will blame the Republicans when the Iranians respond by abandoning the deal. If the Republicans try to impose new sanctions on Iran because Iran breaches its commitments, then Iran can leave the deal.And Obama will blame the Republicans.What this means for Republicans is clear enough.They must recognize the deal for what it really is – a political tool to weaken them, not Iran. Once they understand what is going on, they must refuse to fall into the trap Obama set for them. Republican mustn’t worry about whether or not Iran vacates its signature. It is the deal, not any action they may take, that ensures Iran will walk away.Moreover, Republicans – and the deal’s Democratic opponents – must refuse to shoulder the blame when Iran acts as expected and walks away.Obama negotiated a deal that guarantees Iran will become a nuclear power and prevents the US from taking steps, in the framework of the deal, to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. Obama didn’t do this because he is a bad negotiator. He did this because his goal was never to prevent Iran from developing atomic bombs and delivery mechanisms. His goal was always to blame Republicans (and Israel) for what he had to power to prevent, but had no interest in preventing.Reprinted with author’s permission from The Jerusalem Post
Netanyahu ‘open’ to meeting with Abbas to end terror wave-But no peace talks until violence stops, PM insists; rips into PA leader for accusing Israel of ‘executing’ Palestinians-By Raphael Ahren October 15, 2015, 9:47 pm Updated: October 15, 2015, 10:43 pm 4-the times of israel
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday that he is “perfectly open” to meeting with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to halt the current wave of terror that has been sweeping the country in recent weeks.Netanyahu said he is willing to resume peace talks “right now,” but at the same time accused Abbas of lying and of inciting terrorism, and argued that it is impossible to conduct peace negotiations while the PA promotes violence against Israel.It is neither the absence of peace talks nor Israeli settlement activity that leads to terrorism, but rather the Palestinians’ unwillingness to accept the State of Israel, he said.At a press conference in Jerusalem, the prime minister confirmed reports that US Secretary of State has proposed a summit, possibly in Amman, with Abbas and the Jordanian king, in a bid to put an end to the unrest in Israel and the West Bank.“It’s potentially useful because it might stop the wave of incitement and the false allegations against Israel. So I’d be open to meetings with Arab leaders, and Palestinian leadership in order to stop this incitement,” he told reporters at the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem.Netanyahu stressed that he had called for the resumption of talks on numerous occasions, but that the Palestinian leader has consistently refusing to return to the negotiating table. “I’ve called on President Abbas to resume unconditional negotiations immediately. Right now as we speak we can meet. I have no problem with that,” he said. “I’m willing to meet him. He’s not willing to meet me.”Asked to explain how it makes sense to call for peace negotiations with Abbas, whom Netanyahu called a liar and a supporter of terrorism, the prime minister seemed to contradict his previous statement, indicating that peace talks are not currently possible.“First of all we need to lower the flames. First of all this wild incitement needs to stop. We can’t advance toward peace while also promoting terror. You can’t have both terror and peace. It’s either this or that,” Netanyahu said. The late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat tried to sign peace agreements with Israel while at the same time supporting terrorism, “and we saw where this led to,” Netanyahu said.The current spate of terrorist attacks has nothing to do with Israeli actions or with the absence or existence of peace talks, but is rooted in the Palestinians’ ideological rejection of a Jewish state, the prime minister asserted.“This wave of attacks is not the result of a lack of a political horizon. We’ve been suffering terror attacks for the last 95 years,” Netanyahu said, referring to Arab attacks on Jews in Mandatory Palestine.When terror against Israel reached record levels during the 1990s, in the wake of the Oslo Accords, people said it’s because peace is around the corner and there are some fanatics who don’t want peace, the Prime Minister said. Today, the same people are arguing that the stalemate in the peace process leads to terrorism.“Neither is true. They’re attacking us not because they want peace or don’t want peace. It’s because they don’t want us here,” Netanyahu declared.“People said it’s because of frustration. It’s not because of the existence of a diplomatic horizon or because of the absence of a diplomatic horizon. It’s because of desire to get rid of the State of Israel. The frustration is about us being here, about the State of Israel being here. And I want to tell you something: This frustration will continue, because we will continue being here.”The prime minister also dismissed the notion that the current unrest is due to Israeli settlement expansions. “This is not result of massive wave of settlements because there’s not been a massive wave of settlements,” he said, perhaps alluding to statements this week by US Secretary of State John Kerry, who appeared to link the violence with settlement activity.Netanyahu called on the international community to reject the “lies” about Israel’s actions and “not to draw false symmetry between Israeli citizens and those who would stab and knife them to death.” Abbas has been given “a pass,” for many years now, which has only encouraged him to promote violence, Netanyahu charged.He also defended the way in which the Israeli security forces have been handling terrorists, rejecting outright accusations of excessive force. The US State Department had expressed concern over “what many would consider excessive use of force” at the hands of Israeli policemen – a “baseless” claim, Netanyahu charged.Israel, he said, uses exactly the same amount of force that any other country would use in a similar situation, if not less. It was fallacious to argue that the number of casualties says anything about the righteousness of the security forces’ actions, he argued. According to such a logic, the US’s campaign in Afghanistan – where more people were killed than during 9/11 – would be at fault, but “such an argumentation is absurd, he said. “Israel does what is necessary to fight terror.”During the press conference, Netanyahu blamed Palestinian incitement for the current terror wave and rebutted Abbas’s claim, during a speech Wednesday, accusing Israel of “executing” 13-year-old Ahmed Manasra “in cold blood.”“The current terror campaign in Israel is a result of continuous Palestinian incitement. First, on the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the outrageous claims that we are changing the status quo there or intend to destroy it, and now we have a new big lie,” he said. “That new big lie is that Israel is executing Palestinians.”However, that boy is neither dead not innocent, Netanyahu recalled. “He tried to kill, murder, knife to death an innocent Israeli youngster, 13 years old, riding a bicycle… This Palestinian terrorist is now being treated in Hadassah Hospital in Israel.”During the press conference, a photo of Manasra lying in his hospital bed was presented. Manasra, who was run over by an Israeli vehicle after stabbing an Israeli boy, has become the center of heated, high-level name-calling between the Israeli and Palestinian leaders. The case has become a lightning rod for both sides, as they trade accusations in an increasingly charged atmosphere. Netanyahu has repeatedly alleged that Abbas is inciting Palestinians to violence against Israel, a claim denied by the Palestinian leader. Abbas says Israel has been using excessive force against Palestinians.In the past month, eight Israelis were killed in Palestinian attacks, most of them stabbings. During the same period, 31 Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire, including 14 identified by Israel as attackers, and the others in clashes between rioters and Israeli troops.On Monday, Ahmed and his 15-year-old cousin Hassan stabbed and seriously wounded two Israelis, including a 13-year-old boy, in Jerusalem. Hassan was shot dead by police while Ahmed was struck by a car after the attack.Amateur video widely circulated on Palestinian social media sites showed the wounded Ahmed lying on the ground after being struck, his legs splayed and a pool of blood near his head. Bystanders are heard cursing the boy in Hebrew and yelling at him, “Die!” The images, which made no mention of the stabbing, have enraged many Palestinians.Israel’s Hadassah Hospital, which is treating the boy, issued a statement Tuesday saying that “in stark contrast to circulating rumors,” he was stable and “fully conscious.”In a speech to the Knesset that day, Netanyahu cited the Palestinian images as evidence of Palestinian incitement. “He tried to kill and murder,” Netanyahu said of the boy. “But the complete opposite is presented in a twisted way.”Then on Wednesday, Israel released security camera footage that appears to show the two Manasra cousins wielding knives and chasing a terrified man through the streets of Pisgat Zeev, a Jewish area of East Jerusalem. The video moves to a shot of the boy who was stabbed standing in a candy store, getting on his bicycle and then crumbling over and falling off his bike after the attack. In a final scene, the older boy is seen being confronted by two armed policemen along a railway track. He lunges at the officers and is shot.The younger Manasra “was treated by a multidisciplinary team of physicians, especially neurosurgeons” and received the best care available, Professor Yoram Weiss, the director of Jerusalem’s Hadassah Medical Center, said at Thursday’s press conference. “Nothing was spared to take of his injury. At this point, he’s awake, he’s conscious, he’s eating, he’s watching TV and he’s stable.” But the 13-year-old will stay at Hadassah “for further evaluation” until he can be discharged, Weiss added.AP contributed to this report.
Analysis-Israel’s anti-terror strategy is ineffectual. It’s also crucial-The ‘breathing closure’ of East Jerusalem hasn’t stopped attackers, and IDF reinforcements are negligible — but for panic-stricken Israelis, every little bit helps-By Judah Ari Gross October 15, 2015, 7:15 pm 10-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL
The IDF will provide an additional 300 soldiers to assist police in Jerusalem next week, the army said on Thursday. Six companies of cadets, amounting to several hundred soldiers in officer’s training, have already been sent to reinforce police in cities around the country.Some of the soldiers already in place, and additional ones joining them next week, come from non-infantry units, predominantly the Military Police and the Homefront Command, an outfit that provides search and rescue services and emergency response in times of war, the police and IDF said.It is the latest in a number of measures trotted out by the security cabinet in response to the stabbing attacks that have rocked Israel in recent weeks and sent the population into a panic. Another notable and even more dramatic move by the cabinet earlier this week was to put in place a so-called “breathing closure” around East Jerusalem neighborhoods, setting up checkpoints at the entrances and exits but allowing the resident population a level of mobility.The purpose of these closures and IDF reinforcements has been twofold: On the one hand, there are the tactical and operational benefits of these checkpoints and reinforcements. And on the other hand, there is the matter of public perception, and the need for the Israeli political leadership to project to its citizens that things are under control.The majority of the attackers since the beginning of October have indeed come from East Jerusalem neighborhoods, and the largest number hailed from Jabel Mukaber, which was also the hometown of the terrorists who attacked a Har Nof synagogue last year, killing five. For the past year, young men from the city have also thrown rocks and Molotov cocktails at residents of the adjacent Jewish Armon Hanatziv neighborhood on a nightly basis.The problem, however, is that truly separating Arab neighborhoods from Jewish ones in East Jerusalem is nigh impossible. That, ironically enough, is due to the Israeli government’s efforts for the past 40 years to unify the city, Marik Shtern, a researcher at the Jerusalem Institute for Israel Studies, told The Times of Israel.-A decidedly unified Jerusalem-Since capturing East Jerusalem in the 1967 Six Day War, the government set out to “unify Jerusalem and to combine the two sides’ economies,” Shtern said.And in that effort, the government was successful. In the early 1970s, Armon Hanatziv was built side by side with Jabel Mukaber. The two neighborhoods share playgrounds and clinics and supermarkets. Pisgat Zeev and Shuafat are equally close and intermeshed.‘What? People can’t walk? They can’t ride bikes?’And as a result, in barely 24 hours, the “breathing closure” on East Jerusalem failed more than once. The attack outside of Jerusalem’s central bus station on Wednesday evening was carried out by a resident of Ras al-Amud; hours later, four residents of East Jerusalem firebombed a Border Police base in Atarot.While Israel could perhaps close off the neighborhoods to cars, that would not necessarily stop individuals from leaving. “Okay, you closed off a road,” Shtern said, “But people can’t walk? They can’t ride bikes?”In the short term, the only way Israel could entirely ban East Jerusalem residents from West Jerusalem or other Israeli cities would be a massive deployment of police or soldiers into the neighborhoods’ main streets, Shtern said.However, he admitted, “I work more to bring people together than keep them apart.”A full lockdown of East Jerusalem has never been implemented in the 48 years it has been under Israeli control, not even during the first and second intifadas. Though there have been lockdowns and curfews in West Bank cities, even these have been rare and never lasted more than 24 to 48 hours.And today, not only would a true closure be immensely difficult to implement, it could also have dramatic unintended consequences, Shtern said. Not only would it be severely damaging to East Jerusalem residents, it would be detrimental to West Jerusalem as well. Approximately 50 percent of workers from East Jerusalem are employed in West Jerusalem and some West Bank settlements,which is somewhere between 30,000 and 35,000 people. If those people suddenly could not go to work, the results would be dire for all of Jerusalem’s economy, Shtern said.The purpose of the “breathing closure” can therefore be seen as largely symbolic.“[The government] wants to show the Jewish population that it is doing something,” Shtern said.Even Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan, who, along with Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat, has been one of the most vocal supporters of the closure, has admitted that it will not be a silver bullet.“Can I say that this 100% guarantees that nobody will enter Jerusalem or possibly acquire some weapon they can use to stab people? No,” Erdan told Israel Radio when the closures were announced on Wednesday.-A helpful drop in the bucket-In addition to the IDF soldiers who are already assisting law enforcement, the Israel Prison Service also decided on Thursday to put some 400 prison guards at the Israel Police’s disposal.Tel Aviv’s police department alone received approximately 100 soldiers, most of them officer cadets, who will assist in patrolling public spaces such as the Dizengoff Center mall and the outdoor Carmel Market, Channel 2 reported.Additional law enforcement in cities around the country will potentially act as a deterrent to would-be attackers and will allow for a quicker response to attacks.However, these actions too can be seen for their symbolic as much as for their operational value. They provide a sense of security in a time when attacks have come in large and small cities and suburbs around the country in both residential and commercial areas.As of 2014, the Israel Police had close to 30,000 full-time officers and nearly 70,000 volunteers. Though an additional 700-1,000 soldiers will certainly assist police officers, they amount to a very small percentage of the total law enforcement in Israel.That the additional soldiers and “breathing closure” of East Jerusalem are operationally ineffectual does not diminish their role in this escalating rash of violence.In light of the recent attacks, Israelis have been on edge. An IDF officer fired his weapon inside of a moving train on Thursday morning after passengers saw a “suspicious” person and shouted, “Terrorist!” No terrorist was found on the train, but several people were lightly injured when the train’s emergency brakes kicked in.Hours later, the Israel Police conducted a massive manhunt, employing a helicopter and shutting down major highways in Tel Aviv, after reports came in of another “suspicious” vehicle, driven by two East Jerusalem residents. The Shin Bet interrogated the pair and found no evidence that they had planned to carry out a terrorist attack — they were only electricians out on a job.
Abbas urges Israel to arrest ‘inciting’ officials-PA president says government should apprehend anyone who ‘adds fuel to the fire of violence’-By Adiv Sterman October 15, 2015, 7:57 pm 8-the times of israel
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas called Thursday on Israel to arrest officials who promote “violence and incitement,” a day after he falsely claimed a 13-year-old Palestinian terrorist who was hit by a car while fleeing from police earlier this week was “executed” by Israel.“The Palestinian Authority demands an end to inciting statements by Israeli officials,” the PA president’s office said in a statement, according to Ynet. “We urge the Israeli government to act to arrest anyone who adds fuel to the fire of violence and incitement.”The Israeli Government Press Office published on Thursday clips and images 13-year-old Ahmed Manasra, who is accused of participating in a stabbing spree in Jerusalem Monday with his cousin Hassan Manasra, 15. He was awake and sitting in a bed at Jerusalem’s Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital.On Wednesday night, Abbas accused Israelis of “executing our boys in cold blood, as they did with the boy Ahmed Manasra and other children in Jerusalem and other places.”Other Palestinian officials and relatives have also claimed that Manasra and his cousin were not involved in an attack.The Prime Minister’s Office quickly issued a statement after the PA president’s speech, saying he was spreading “lies and incitement.”“ The boy he is referring to is alive and hospitalized in Hadassah after stabbing an Israeli child who was riding his bicycle,” the statement said.On Thursday, the independent news website 0404 published a short clip clearly showing Ahmad Manasra alive and relatively well.In another clip, the deputy head of Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital, where Manasra is hospitalized, could be seen saying the boy is “in moderate to light condition, hospitalized in one of our department and receiving good treatment. From a medical point of view, we will probably be able to discharge him in a few days.”One victim of Monday’s stabbing is in moderate condition. Another, a 13-year-old boy, is still unconscious. His condition was upgraded from critical on Monday, when he was stabbed, to serious but not life threatening on Tuesday.The attack was one in a series of nearly two dozen terror attacks over the last two weeks, many of which have involved East Jerusalem teens involved in stabbing attacks in the capital.Like us on Facebook
Terrorist Abbas said was ‘executed’ by Israel shown alive in hospital-Photos, videos of Ahmad Manasra, 13, show him conscious, sitting in bed; doctors says he will be well enough to be discharged in coming days-By Times of Israel staff October 15, 2015, 3:05 pm 68
Clips and images were published Thursday of a 13-year-old Palestinian terrorist who was hit by a car while fleeing from police earlier this week, disproving claims by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas who said Wednesday he was “executed” by Israel.The pictures, distributed by the Government Press Office, show Ahmad Manasra awake and sitting in a bed at Jerusalem’s Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital.In one picture he is seen making a hand gesture some have interpreted as an Islamist symbol.Manasra is accused of carrying out a stabbing spree on Monday with his cousin Hassan Manasra, 15, seriously injuring a 13-year- old boy and 25-year-old man. Hassan Manasra was shot and killed after charging at police with a knife, while Ahmed Manasra was injured after being hit by a car while fleeing.On Wednesday night, Abbas accused Israelis of “executing our boys in cold blood, as they did with the boy Ahmed Manasra and other children in Jerusalem and other places.”Other Palestinian officials and relatives have also claimed that Manasra and his cousin were not involved in an attack.The Prime Minister’s Office quickly issued a statement after the PA president’s speech saying he was spreading “lies and incitement.”“The boy he is referring to is alive and hospitalized in Hadassah after stabbing an Israeli child who was riding his bicycle,” the statement said.On Thursday, the independent news website Room 0404 published on its site and Facebook page a short clip clearly showing Ahmad Manasra alive and relatively well.In another clip, the deputy head of Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital, where Manasra is hospitalized, says he is “in moderate to light condition, hospitalized in one of our department and receiving good treatment. From a medical point of view, we will probably be able to discharge him in a few days.”The 25-year-old victim of Monday’s stabbing is in moderate condition. The 13-year-old is still unconscious. His condition was upgraded from critical on Monday, when he was stabbed, to serious but not life threatening on Tuesday.The attack was one in a series of nearly two dozen terror attacks over the last two weeks, many of which have involved East Jerusalem teens involved in stabbing attacks in the capital.
Kerry blasts ‘reprehensible attacks’ on civilians-Amid firestorm over State Department comments on Israel, US secretary doubles down on condemnation of terrorism-By Rebecca Shimoni Stoil October 15, 2015, 9:23 pm 5-the times of israel
WASHINGTON — In the midst of a firestorm over comments from State Department spokesman John Kirby, who seemed to accuse Israel of excessive force against Palestinians, Secretary of State John Kerry denounced terrorism and emphasized that the US supports “Israel’s right to defend its existence.”Speaking at Indiana University Thursday, Kerry addressed the ongoing violence in Israel, saying that the US had seen its “tragic” effects “on civilians who were just trying to go about their business in Israel, the West Bank, Gaza and Jerusalem.”“We strongly condemn the terrorist attacks against innocent civilians,” he declared. “There is simply no justification for these reprehensible attacks and we will continue to support Israel’s right to defend its existence.”At the same time, Kerry continued, “it is critically important that calm be restored as soon as possible.”Kerry said that the US “will continue to stress the importance… of working to prevent inflammatory rhetoric, accusations, and actions that could contribute to violence.”The firestorm over Kirby’s comments came as Washington was trying to reduce tensions in the wake of a speech Tuesday by Kerry himself, who appeared to link or equate a spate of Palestinian terror attacks against Israelis with Israeli policies in the West Bank.Israeli ministers, including Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan and Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon, lashed out Thursday morning in response to Kirby’s statement a day earlier. During his daily press briefing, Kirby seemed to accuse Israel of using excessive force against Palestinians in response to the recent spate of attacks against Israeli civilians.“I don’t know whether to call them naive, in the US State Department and in the American government,” complained Erdan. “Instead of putting out idiotic declarations that pretend to address two equally guilty sides, they [should] focus pressure on the murderous, inciting Palestinian Authority; because of its incitement, young people go out and commit murderous acts.”Kirby had said the US had “seen some reports of security activity that could indicate the potential excessive use of force.” He did not elaborate on the incidents in question, and it was unclear if he was referring to Israel’s handling of Palestinian rioting or the shooting of knife-wielding Palestinian assailants, which many Palestinians and Israeli Arabs have claimed is excessive.Describing the State Department as “traditionally hostile toward Israel,” Erdan said that for American officials “to allow themselves to be taken in by lies that are presented to the American State Department is very strange, amateurish or worse, especially when there is footage from all of these events.”Amid reports that Kerry is trying to arrange meetings in Amman with Jordan’s King Abdullah and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Kerry acknowledged in his speech that he “expects to be traveling to the region in the coming days, and we will remain closely engaged to support efforts to stabilize the situation.”Kerry will be overseas starting Friday, when he is scheduled to have meetings with French leaders in Paris. His travel plans to the region remain significantly more vague, and the State Department will not divulge which countries – or leaders – he expects to include on his itinerary. Kerry devoted most of his talk to other topics, touching upon the controversial Trans-Pacific Partnership trade bill; the dangers of global warming and climate change; and the situation in Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq.“The challenges posed by the attacks in Israel and the West Bank and Afghanistan of course are symptoms of turbulence in the global scene,” Kerry said.

EU diplomats feel helpless on Israel violence By Andrew Rettman-oct 15,15-yahoonews
BRUSSELS, Today, 09:27-EU diplomats say their normal channels of communication are ill-equipped to calm the violence, while Israeli and Palestinian officials trade blame on "incitement".The new surge in Arab knife attacks, Jewish counter-attacks, police shootings, and other crackdowns has left EU diplomacy feeling helpless."We sympathise with civilian victims on both sides and our envoys on the ground [in Israel and Palestine] are speaking with officials. But that's the problem - we're talking to officials while the situation is unfolding outside the official context", a senior EU source told this website."The violence is taking place at the level of individuals. It's breaking down human relationships between the two sides", he added."The breakdown is so severe, we even had a case of a Jewish man who stabbed another Jewish man because he thought he was an Arab".For his part, David Walzer, Israel's envoy to the EU, laid the blame on Palestinian leaders.He told press in Brussels on Wednesday (14 October) the situation intensified when they called for protests against Israel's decision to block access, on security grounds, to the Al-Aqsa mosque in Israeli-occupied Jerusalem."Israel has no intention whatsoever to change the status quo on the Temple Mount", he said."The Palestinian leadership chose Al-Aqsa as a means to draw attention to their cause ... [now] they cannot control the aftermath of the fire they set"."Palestinian leaders are fostering the current wave of violence by depicting it as a legitimate form of popular resistance", he added.Citing one example, the International Association of Jewish Lawyers and Jurists on Tuesday wrote to the EU ambassador in Tel Aviv urging him to halt financial aid for The Palestinian Bar Association.The bar gave a posthumous degree to Muhannad Al-Halabi, a student who killed two Jewish Israelis before police shot him.It also called him a "martyr".But for Xavier Abu Eid, a senior aide to Palestinian leaders, the Israeli authorities caused the breakdown."I'm a Christian. But I also feel offended by the closure of Al-Aqsa", he told EUobserver from Ramallah, the de facto Palestinian capital, on Wednesday."People speak of an intifada [the Arab word for uprising] only when Israelis are affected. But Palestinians are affected every day by violence"."Settlers attack them with impunity. Where are the killers of Ali Dawabsheh? They're happily living in their settlement", he added, referring to an arson attack, in July, which killed a Palestinian infant."If a settler wants to kill a Palestinian, they just claim he had a knife, then they shoot him".There is also Israeli incitement.Yinon Magal, an MP, recently said Arabs should be driven out of Israel, as they were in 1948.Buzzilla, an internet consultancy, told Haaretz, an Israeli daily, it found 30,000 conversations calling for violence against Arabs on sites like Facebook and Twitter in the first week of October, compared to 10,000 the week before.Peace talks-Walzer, the Israeli ambassador, noted that Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has told EU officials he wants to resume peace talks."He has explicitly said that he is ready to return to the table without any preconditions".But Abu Eid said Palestinians have lost faith in high-level diplomacy.He said envoys from the Quartet, a UN body handling the conflict, were wrong to cancel their visit to Israel this week."There was some hope they could bring something to calm the situation. Then Netanyahu phoned them and they said they're not coming".He urged EU capitals to listen to their own people on the ground."The report by the EU heads of mission [in Ramallah], which was leaked to press in March, said very clearly there'll be violence if the situation stays the same", he said."They proposed some steps. But what happened? Nothing. As usual". The EU report noted that 2014 was already "one of the most troubled years in Jerusalem since the end of the Second Intifada [in 2005]".Deaths foretold-It spoke of a "vicious cycle of violence" and "mutual mistrust", amid a "background" of settlement expansion, Israeli "provocations" on Al Aqsa, and "lack of economic and political prospects" for Palestinians."If the root causes of … violence are not addressed, the likely outcome is further escalation", it warned.Its proposals included sanctions, such as EU visa bans on known violent settlers. But they weren't taken up.The EU is planning to publish a non-binding code on how European retailers should label settler goods in an attempt to put pressure on settlement building.But the senior EU source said publication is unlikely until the current violence subsides.
10/15/2015 -vatican insider-Koch: “Some issues could be solved on a continental level”-Kurt Koch-Bishops on a regional and continental level should be encouraged to work in communion when it comes to questions that relate to the whole Church. The Synod is working on this but it is still a work in progress. The general atmosphere is good and the dispute over procedure has been overcome-FRANCESCO PELOSO
vatican city-The President of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, Cardinal Kurt Koch, speaks of a Synod in which different personalities and issues are emerging in what is proving to be a positive exchange; there can be no contradiction between theology and pastoral care as they go hand in hand. “The salvation Christ brought into the world is intended for the people, as such, the pastoral dimension of theology must be very clear.”How are the discussions going? What is the general atmosphere like? “The atmosphere in the plenary meetings is very good, I see that everyone is speaking and listening. There is no major quarrelling over procedure, the discussions in the language-based discussion groups (circuli minores) continue and I get the impression that things are going well in these discussion groups too. There are a variety of personalities in the German-speaking group I am in, including big personalities, there is a good atmosphere and a good discussion going on.”Has the dispute over Synod procedure been overcome? “I think so, yes. I think the fact that there is a lot of time for discussion in the circuli minores, is a very positive thing because it means we have time to talk things through and not just listen to speeches during the course of the day.”Have you seen different sensitivities and approaches emerging? “I think that is only natural because the issues dealt with are in some cases very difficult and complex; one person sees one aspect, while another Synod Father highlights another one so at first it may seem as though there is a clash but when we dig deeper into problems, we notice that what we have is not necessarily a clash but two different aspects and we need to find a solution to the issues at hand.”About the duality of doctrine and pastoral care: are there two currents of thought within the Synod that favour one or the other? “There can be no contradiction between these two aspects. Theology necessarily has a pastoral dimension and pastoral care necessarily has a theological basis. We cannot develop theological thought inside a closed room and then ponder how we can adapt this to people because the salvation Christ brought into the world is intended for the people, as such, the pastoral dimension of theology must be very clear. For this reason, we cannot create a contradiction between these two aspects.”Some Synod Fathers have proposed a solution that would give bishops greater independence in certain areas, on a diocesan level. What do you think of this proposal? “It depends on the area. I am thinking, for example, of jurisdiction for marriages and annulment procedures, which the Pope has put diocesan bishops in charge of; but when it comes to issues that affect the Church as a whole, I do not think that is possible. We can encourage a third perspective: not just the universal Church or the bishop representing the local diocese, we could think also of a continental regional commission; these kind of levels are not yet well developed and I think that this aspect is far more important than handing all responsibility over to the diocesan bishop. Also because there is a communion between bishops who need to find a common solution within the same region.”Work in progress? “Yes, of course.”How will the Synod conclude?“I hope we will manage to deliver a good concluding document to the Pope and it will then be up to him to decide what to do. But I am certain that the Holy Father’s action will be very positive.”

In 2,000 Year First, Christians Publicly Rally in Jerusalem in Support of Jewish Sovereignty Over Temple Mount-By Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz October 8, 2015 , 1:30 pm-breakingisraelnews
“For out of Zion shall go the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.” (Isaiah 2:3–4)--A crucial war is being waged over the Temple Mount and standing on the front line, allied with Israel and the nation of Israel, is Cry For Zion, a movement of Christian Zionists from all over the world who recently united in support of Jewish sovereignty over the Temple Mount.On October 1, during the Jewish holiday of Sukkot (Tabernacles), the organization held a demonstration at UN headquarters in Jerusalem overlooking Mount Zion. According to Cry for Zion, this was the first time in 2,000 years since Christians have publicly demonstrated in support of Jewish rights to the holy site.Amidst international pressure to maintain the status quo on the Temple Mount, Cry for Zion is literally crying out to change it. The status quo, maintained since Israel re-conquered the Temple Mount and unified Jerusalem in 1967, grants authority over the holiest site in Judaism to the Muslim Waqf. Jews and Christians are permitted to visit the site but they are entirely forbidden from praying or displaying any religious symbols. Jews may not eat or drink on the Temple Mount since this would require them to say a blessing, which the Waqf guard forbids.These religious restrictions are strictly enforced by the Israeli Police in an unsuccessful attempt to reduce Arab violence on the site, despite an Israeli Magistrate Court ruling and the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which calls for freedom of religion.Christians from countries all over the world came to show their support for Israel and the Jewish people. Lars Enarson, a Christian leader from Sweden and Cry For Zion co-founder, told those gathered, “Neither the UN in New York, nor the International Law centers of the Hague have any right to claim the role that belongs to Jerusalem and the Temple Mount. ‘For out of Zion shall go the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem’ (Isaiah 2:3–4).”Such an unequivocal display of support for the Jew’s right to the site of their two Temples could not go uncontested. Muslim hecklers nearby and workers at the UN began chanting “Allahu Akbar”, with rally participants responding by resoundingly crying out the words of 1 Kings 18:39, “The Lord, He is God! the Lord, He is God!” and “Shema Israel!”The Cry for Zion rally continued to show their support for the Jewish nation by marching in the annual Jerusalem March, but it is a sadly poignant sign of the times that the Jerusalem Municipality did not allow them to display their banner which read, “For Jewish Freedom on the Temple Mount”. It is, however, reassuring to note that until they furled their banner, it received cheers and accolades from the mostly-Christian participants at the parade.The rally ended at the Menachem Begin Heritage Center, where Rabbi Yehudah Glick, founder of the Temple Mount Heritage Foundation, addressed the assembled. Glick is a leading advocate for religious freedom on the Temple Mount and recipient of the 2015 Moskowitz Prize for Zionism.“It is a wonderful Godly breakthrough that more and more non-Jews are understanding the urgent need to get involved and to stand up on behalf of the Temple Mount,” Glick told Breaking Israel News following the event.John Enarson, Lars’ son and co-founder of the movement, told Breaking Israel News that the deteriorating situation surrounding the Temple Mount is really a “battle for truth.”This is really a battle for truth. Especially in Jerusalem, the truth is getting turned on its head. There are so many lies taking over the world that we need to guard the truth,” Enarson explained to Breaking Israel News. “To say one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter just isn’t true. The nations are looking to Israel for righteousness, truth and objectivity. We need Israel to be the light and we can see the light coming forth from Zion, from the people and even from the government.”
Rabbi Kanievsky: Yell it From Loudspeakers, the Messiah is at the Door-By Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz October 15, 2015 , 11:30 am
“’Behold, I am going to send My messenger, and he will clear the way before Me. And the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple; and the messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight, behold, He is coming,’ says the LORD of hosts. But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears?” (Malachi 3:1)--The Messiah is “standing at the doorway” and it is up to each one of us to usher in his arrival, a leading spiritual leader of the Jewish nation was quoted as saying.Rabbi Chizkiyahu Mishkovsky, the spiritual adviser for several distinguished yeshivot (religious learning centers) in Israel, told a gathering at a Lev L’Achim event in Bnei Brak earlier this week that, speaking in the name of Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky, the arrival of the Messiah is close.“My dear brothers, I would like to tell you something very interesting. One of those who is very close and dear to Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky came to me recently and said that Rabbi Kanievsky told him to go out and tell the people, ‘We are in one of the most critical hours for the nation of Israel. We are on the threshold of the Messiah, and the Messiah is standing just outside the door, and the only way to be saved is through learning Torah, and through works of loving kindness.’”Rabbi Mishkovsky’s statement, recorded and posted on YouTube, attracted a great deal of attention since Rabbi Kanievsky is one of the leading figures in Haredi Jewish society today. The announcement was well received by those at the gathering.Rabbi Mishkovsky also revealed that Rabbi Kanievsky also gave him a startling mission. He was told in no uncertain terms to begin to announce to all of Israel the imminent arrival of the Messiah.“When his dear grandson, Yanki Kanievsky, was by his side, he wrote him a note saying, ‘Let it be known to all the children of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, even to those who are secular, let it be known that the only way to be saved is through Torah and works of loving kindness, and there is no other way.’”The rabbi even gave instructions as to how to carry out his mission. “I asked the Rabbi, ‘How will I let it be known? Yell it into a loudspeaker?’ And the Rabbi said, ‘Yes, take a loudspeaker and go around the whole country to tell this to the people. Yell it out loud.”The latest revelation is consistent with various statements made by the spiritual leader lately. Recently, Rabbi Kanievsky related a teaching in the Talmud, a central rabbinical text in Judaism, that explicitly states that the Messiah will come the year following a shmittah year. The rabbi hinted that this year was ripe for the arrival of the Messiah upon the conclusion of the shmittah year one month ago.Read more at http://ift.tt/1VVYa2C

It works out that US President Barack Obama’s signature diplomatic achievement, his nuclear deal with Iran, has nothing to do with preventing Iran from becoming a nuclear power or even with placing restrictions on Iran’s nuclear activities.Just weeks after Obama led the international community in concluding the nuclear pact with Iran, the Iranian regime filed a complaint with the UN Security Council accusing the US of committing a material breach of the agreement.The US action that precipitated the complaint was a statement by White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest claiming that if Iran violates the deal, “the military option would remain on the table.”In making the statement, Earnest was responding to a hypothetical question regarding what the US would do if the Iranians breached the deal.Earnest explained that not only would the US then consider attacking Iran’s nuclear installations militarily, but that its “military option would be enhanced because we’d been spending the intervening number of years gathering significantly more detail about Iran’s nuclear program.”“So when it comes to the targeting decisions,” he continued, “our capabilities [would be] improved, based on the knowledge that has been gained in the intervening years through this inspections regime.”The Iranians argued that Earnest’s statement was a material breach of the nuclear agreement because under Iran’s interpretation of the deal, UN inspectors are barred from sharing sensitive information they collect during the course of their site visits.As Tower Magazine pointed out at the time, Earnest’s remarks gave the Iranians a justification for refusing to allow UN nuclear inspectors from entering their nuclear sites. Indeed, Earnest’s remarks gave Iran a rationale for vacating its signature on the agreement.Like the US and the other parties to the agreement, the Iranians can vacate their signature if they feel their claims against other parties’ perceived breaches of their commitments are not properly addressed by the relevant UN agencies. According to Obama, if Iran walks away from the deal, it will take the mullocracy up to a year to develop nuclear weapons.Whereas Iran can use the deal to advance its nuclear program and then walk away, the US cannot use the deal to prevent Iran either from advancing its nuclear program or from walking away from the deal.Sunday Iran test-fired a new ballistic missile. According to Iranian Defense Minister Hossein Dehghan, unlike the Shihab intermediate-range surface-to-surface missiles that Iran already fields, the new Emad missile is precision guided. The Wall Street Journal reported that experts assess its range at 1,300 km.The missile test is not a violation of the agreement. Last month US Secretary of State John Kerry acknowledged in a letter to Senator Marco Rubio that the deal does not restrict Iran’s ballistic missile program. Rather, Kerry claimed, Iran’s ballistic missile program is restricted by the Security Council resolution passed July 20 which calls on Iran “not to undertake any activity related to ballistic missiles designed to be capable of delivering nuclear weapons, including launches using such ballistic missile technology,” for eight years.In response to Iran’s missile test Sunday, State Department spokesman John Kirby said the US would take “appropriate actions” at the UN if the tests violated the resolution. Unfortunately, Iran probably didn’t violate the resolution. Because whether the missile test was a violation or not is open to interpretation. Iran’s position is that the test is permitted because, it claims, it has nothing to do with its nuclear program. And because of the way Obama negotiated the nuclear deal and the Security Council resolution, Iran’s word is just as good as America’s on this score.Moreover, even under the unlikely scenario that the administration determines that Iran’s missile test violated the Security Council resolution, such a conclusion will make no difference.As Amir Taheri explained in The New York Post, America’s negotiating partners from the P5+1 view the nuclear deal as little more than a trade deal with Iran. Since they signed on in July, the Germans have expanded their trade with Iran 33 percent, making Germany Iran’s third largest trading partner.Britain has lifted its restrictions on Iranian banks.France has sent a 100-man delegation of salivating businessmen to Tehran.China has penned an agreement to build Iran five nuclear reactors.Russia has not only agreed to sell Iran the advanced S-300 air defense system and begun negotiating the sale of Sukhoi fighter jets, Russia has gone to war in coalition with Iran in Syria.Other states, including India, Turkey, Austria and the UAE are all clamoring for deals in Iran. The question of whether or not Iran actually abides by the deal’s nuclear limitations is the furthest thing from anyone’s mind.Given the circumstances, the idea that Obama’s much touted “snapback” sanctions will actually be implemented if and when Iran is caught cheating on the nuclear deal or the restrictions on its ballistic missile program is a joke.Kerry admitted to Congress that the US has given assurances to the Russians and Chinese that in the event sanctions are re-imposed they will not jeopardize those nations’ trade with Iran.So sanctions, which Obama himself insisted failed in the past to prevent Iran from advancing its nuclear program, cannot be reimposed, even if they are passed in the Security Council.And they won’t be passed in the Security Council because no one on the Security Council is paying attention to whether or not Iran keeps its side of the agreement. And even if they did pay attention, and decide that Iran has breached the accord, Iran will simply walk away from the deal with little to no international response.In his much cited article published last week about Obama’s ill-treatment of Israel during the course of his nuclear talks with Iran, ambassador Dennis Ross wrote that Obama’s commitment to preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons was never straightforward.The issue of whether the administration would take all measures to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons or would merely seek to contain a nuclear Iran was never settled.In a speech at a Washington synagogue last May, Obama insisted that he has a “personal stake” in ensuring the deal prevents Iran from developing nuclear weapons because “this deal will have my name on it.”But as the deal’s substance and the behavior of the US’s negotiating partners makes clear, the purpose of the nuclear accord isn’t to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. It is to get Obama off the hook and place the deal’s opponents in the dock.By giving Iran the right to walk away whenever it claims the US has breached the deal, Obama has ensured that Iran will walk away, and has given himself the means to blame the Republicans for the deal’s failure.Just as the Iranians used Earnest’s statement as a reason for leaving the deal, so they should be expected to use any limitation the US places on implementing the deal as a means to vacate their signature and walk away.Last week we learned that aspects of the US ’s commitments to Iran under the deal are illegal under US law. If the Republican Congress tries to force Obama to obey the law (that he himself signed), Obama will blame the Republicans when the Iranians respond by abandoning the deal. If the Republicans try to impose new sanctions on Iran because Iran breaches its commitments, then Iran can leave the deal.And Obama will blame the Republicans.What this means for Republicans is clear enough.They must recognize the deal for what it really is – a political tool to weaken them, not Iran. Once they understand what is going on, they must refuse to fall into the trap Obama set for them. Republican mustn’t worry about whether or not Iran vacates its signature. It is the deal, not any action they may take, that ensures Iran will walk away.Moreover, Republicans – and the deal’s Democratic opponents – must refuse to shoulder the blame when Iran acts as expected and walks away.Obama negotiated a deal that guarantees Iran will become a nuclear power and prevents the US from taking steps, in the framework of the deal, to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. Obama didn’t do this because he is a bad negotiator. He did this because his goal was never to prevent Iran from developing atomic bombs and delivery mechanisms. His goal was always to blame Republicans (and Israel) for what he had to power to prevent, but had no interest in preventing.Reprinted with author’s permission from The Jerusalem Post
Netanyahu ‘open’ to meeting with Abbas to end terror wave-But no peace talks until violence stops, PM insists; rips into PA leader for accusing Israel of ‘executing’ Palestinians-By Raphael Ahren October 15, 2015, 9:47 pm Updated: October 15, 2015, 10:43 pm 4-the times of israel
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday that he is “perfectly open” to meeting with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to halt the current wave of terror that has been sweeping the country in recent weeks.Netanyahu said he is willing to resume peace talks “right now,” but at the same time accused Abbas of lying and of inciting terrorism, and argued that it is impossible to conduct peace negotiations while the PA promotes violence against Israel.It is neither the absence of peace talks nor Israeli settlement activity that leads to terrorism, but rather the Palestinians’ unwillingness to accept the State of Israel, he said.At a press conference in Jerusalem, the prime minister confirmed reports that US Secretary of State has proposed a summit, possibly in Amman, with Abbas and the Jordanian king, in a bid to put an end to the unrest in Israel and the West Bank.“It’s potentially useful because it might stop the wave of incitement and the false allegations against Israel. So I’d be open to meetings with Arab leaders, and Palestinian leadership in order to stop this incitement,” he told reporters at the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem.Netanyahu stressed that he had called for the resumption of talks on numerous occasions, but that the Palestinian leader has consistently refusing to return to the negotiating table. “I’ve called on President Abbas to resume unconditional negotiations immediately. Right now as we speak we can meet. I have no problem with that,” he said. “I’m willing to meet him. He’s not willing to meet me.”Asked to explain how it makes sense to call for peace negotiations with Abbas, whom Netanyahu called a liar and a supporter of terrorism, the prime minister seemed to contradict his previous statement, indicating that peace talks are not currently possible.“First of all we need to lower the flames. First of all this wild incitement needs to stop. We can’t advance toward peace while also promoting terror. You can’t have both terror and peace. It’s either this or that,” Netanyahu said. The late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat tried to sign peace agreements with Israel while at the same time supporting terrorism, “and we saw where this led to,” Netanyahu said.The current spate of terrorist attacks has nothing to do with Israeli actions or with the absence or existence of peace talks, but is rooted in the Palestinians’ ideological rejection of a Jewish state, the prime minister asserted.“This wave of attacks is not the result of a lack of a political horizon. We’ve been suffering terror attacks for the last 95 years,” Netanyahu said, referring to Arab attacks on Jews in Mandatory Palestine.When terror against Israel reached record levels during the 1990s, in the wake of the Oslo Accords, people said it’s because peace is around the corner and there are some fanatics who don’t want peace, the Prime Minister said. Today, the same people are arguing that the stalemate in the peace process leads to terrorism.“Neither is true. They’re attacking us not because they want peace or don’t want peace. It’s because they don’t want us here,” Netanyahu declared.“People said it’s because of frustration. It’s not because of the existence of a diplomatic horizon or because of the absence of a diplomatic horizon. It’s because of desire to get rid of the State of Israel. The frustration is about us being here, about the State of Israel being here. And I want to tell you something: This frustration will continue, because we will continue being here.”The prime minister also dismissed the notion that the current unrest is due to Israeli settlement expansions. “This is not result of massive wave of settlements because there’s not been a massive wave of settlements,” he said, perhaps alluding to statements this week by US Secretary of State John Kerry, who appeared to link the violence with settlement activity.Netanyahu called on the international community to reject the “lies” about Israel’s actions and “not to draw false symmetry between Israeli citizens and those who would stab and knife them to death.” Abbas has been given “a pass,” for many years now, which has only encouraged him to promote violence, Netanyahu charged.He also defended the way in which the Israeli security forces have been handling terrorists, rejecting outright accusations of excessive force. The US State Department had expressed concern over “what many would consider excessive use of force” at the hands of Israeli policemen – a “baseless” claim, Netanyahu charged.Israel, he said, uses exactly the same amount of force that any other country would use in a similar situation, if not less. It was fallacious to argue that the number of casualties says anything about the righteousness of the security forces’ actions, he argued. According to such a logic, the US’s campaign in Afghanistan – where more people were killed than during 9/11 – would be at fault, but “such an argumentation is absurd, he said. “Israel does what is necessary to fight terror.”During the press conference, Netanyahu blamed Palestinian incitement for the current terror wave and rebutted Abbas’s claim, during a speech Wednesday, accusing Israel of “executing” 13-year-old Ahmed Manasra “in cold blood.”“The current terror campaign in Israel is a result of continuous Palestinian incitement. First, on the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the outrageous claims that we are changing the status quo there or intend to destroy it, and now we have a new big lie,” he said. “That new big lie is that Israel is executing Palestinians.”However, that boy is neither dead not innocent, Netanyahu recalled. “He tried to kill, murder, knife to death an innocent Israeli youngster, 13 years old, riding a bicycle… This Palestinian terrorist is now being treated in Hadassah Hospital in Israel.”During the press conference, a photo of Manasra lying in his hospital bed was presented. Manasra, who was run over by an Israeli vehicle after stabbing an Israeli boy, has become the center of heated, high-level name-calling between the Israeli and Palestinian leaders. The case has become a lightning rod for both sides, as they trade accusations in an increasingly charged atmosphere. Netanyahu has repeatedly alleged that Abbas is inciting Palestinians to violence against Israel, a claim denied by the Palestinian leader. Abbas says Israel has been using excessive force against Palestinians.In the past month, eight Israelis were killed in Palestinian attacks, most of them stabbings. During the same period, 31 Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire, including 14 identified by Israel as attackers, and the others in clashes between rioters and Israeli troops.On Monday, Ahmed and his 15-year-old cousin Hassan stabbed and seriously wounded two Israelis, including a 13-year-old boy, in Jerusalem. Hassan was shot dead by police while Ahmed was struck by a car after the attack.Amateur video widely circulated on Palestinian social media sites showed the wounded Ahmed lying on the ground after being struck, his legs splayed and a pool of blood near his head. Bystanders are heard cursing the boy in Hebrew and yelling at him, “Die!” The images, which made no mention of the stabbing, have enraged many Palestinians.Israel’s Hadassah Hospital, which is treating the boy, issued a statement Tuesday saying that “in stark contrast to circulating rumors,” he was stable and “fully conscious.”In a speech to the Knesset that day, Netanyahu cited the Palestinian images as evidence of Palestinian incitement. “He tried to kill and murder,” Netanyahu said of the boy. “But the complete opposite is presented in a twisted way.”Then on Wednesday, Israel released security camera footage that appears to show the two Manasra cousins wielding knives and chasing a terrified man through the streets of Pisgat Zeev, a Jewish area of East Jerusalem. The video moves to a shot of the boy who was stabbed standing in a candy store, getting on his bicycle and then crumbling over and falling off his bike after the attack. In a final scene, the older boy is seen being confronted by two armed policemen along a railway track. He lunges at the officers and is shot.The younger Manasra “was treated by a multidisciplinary team of physicians, especially neurosurgeons” and received the best care available, Professor Yoram Weiss, the director of Jerusalem’s Hadassah Medical Center, said at Thursday’s press conference. “Nothing was spared to take of his injury. At this point, he’s awake, he’s conscious, he’s eating, he’s watching TV and he’s stable.” But the 13-year-old will stay at Hadassah “for further evaluation” until he can be discharged, Weiss added.AP contributed to this report.
Analysis-Israel’s anti-terror strategy is ineffectual. It’s also crucial-The ‘breathing closure’ of East Jerusalem hasn’t stopped attackers, and IDF reinforcements are negligible — but for panic-stricken Israelis, every little bit helps-By Judah Ari Gross October 15, 2015, 7:15 pm 10-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL
The IDF will provide an additional 300 soldiers to assist police in Jerusalem next week, the army said on Thursday. Six companies of cadets, amounting to several hundred soldiers in officer’s training, have already been sent to reinforce police in cities around the country.Some of the soldiers already in place, and additional ones joining them next week, come from non-infantry units, predominantly the Military Police and the Homefront Command, an outfit that provides search and rescue services and emergency response in times of war, the police and IDF said.It is the latest in a number of measures trotted out by the security cabinet in response to the stabbing attacks that have rocked Israel in recent weeks and sent the population into a panic. Another notable and even more dramatic move by the cabinet earlier this week was to put in place a so-called “breathing closure” around East Jerusalem neighborhoods, setting up checkpoints at the entrances and exits but allowing the resident population a level of mobility.The purpose of these closures and IDF reinforcements has been twofold: On the one hand, there are the tactical and operational benefits of these checkpoints and reinforcements. And on the other hand, there is the matter of public perception, and the need for the Israeli political leadership to project to its citizens that things are under control.The majority of the attackers since the beginning of October have indeed come from East Jerusalem neighborhoods, and the largest number hailed from Jabel Mukaber, which was also the hometown of the terrorists who attacked a Har Nof synagogue last year, killing five. For the past year, young men from the city have also thrown rocks and Molotov cocktails at residents of the adjacent Jewish Armon Hanatziv neighborhood on a nightly basis.The problem, however, is that truly separating Arab neighborhoods from Jewish ones in East Jerusalem is nigh impossible. That, ironically enough, is due to the Israeli government’s efforts for the past 40 years to unify the city, Marik Shtern, a researcher at the Jerusalem Institute for Israel Studies, told The Times of Israel.-A decidedly unified Jerusalem-Since capturing East Jerusalem in the 1967 Six Day War, the government set out to “unify Jerusalem and to combine the two sides’ economies,” Shtern said.And in that effort, the government was successful. In the early 1970s, Armon Hanatziv was built side by side with Jabel Mukaber. The two neighborhoods share playgrounds and clinics and supermarkets. Pisgat Zeev and Shuafat are equally close and intermeshed.‘What? People can’t walk? They can’t ride bikes?’And as a result, in barely 24 hours, the “breathing closure” on East Jerusalem failed more than once. The attack outside of Jerusalem’s central bus station on Wednesday evening was carried out by a resident of Ras al-Amud; hours later, four residents of East Jerusalem firebombed a Border Police base in Atarot.While Israel could perhaps close off the neighborhoods to cars, that would not necessarily stop individuals from leaving. “Okay, you closed off a road,” Shtern said, “But people can’t walk? They can’t ride bikes?”In the short term, the only way Israel could entirely ban East Jerusalem residents from West Jerusalem or other Israeli cities would be a massive deployment of police or soldiers into the neighborhoods’ main streets, Shtern said.However, he admitted, “I work more to bring people together than keep them apart.”A full lockdown of East Jerusalem has never been implemented in the 48 years it has been under Israeli control, not even during the first and second intifadas. Though there have been lockdowns and curfews in West Bank cities, even these have been rare and never lasted more than 24 to 48 hours.And today, not only would a true closure be immensely difficult to implement, it could also have dramatic unintended consequences, Shtern said. Not only would it be severely damaging to East Jerusalem residents, it would be detrimental to West Jerusalem as well. Approximately 50 percent of workers from East Jerusalem are employed in West Jerusalem and some West Bank settlements,which is somewhere between 30,000 and 35,000 people. If those people suddenly could not go to work, the results would be dire for all of Jerusalem’s economy, Shtern said.The purpose of the “breathing closure” can therefore be seen as largely symbolic.“[The government] wants to show the Jewish population that it is doing something,” Shtern said.Even Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan, who, along with Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat, has been one of the most vocal supporters of the closure, has admitted that it will not be a silver bullet.“Can I say that this 100% guarantees that nobody will enter Jerusalem or possibly acquire some weapon they can use to stab people? No,” Erdan told Israel Radio when the closures were announced on Wednesday.-A helpful drop in the bucket-In addition to the IDF soldiers who are already assisting law enforcement, the Israel Prison Service also decided on Thursday to put some 400 prison guards at the Israel Police’s disposal.Tel Aviv’s police department alone received approximately 100 soldiers, most of them officer cadets, who will assist in patrolling public spaces such as the Dizengoff Center mall and the outdoor Carmel Market, Channel 2 reported.Additional law enforcement in cities around the country will potentially act as a deterrent to would-be attackers and will allow for a quicker response to attacks.However, these actions too can be seen for their symbolic as much as for their operational value. They provide a sense of security in a time when attacks have come in large and small cities and suburbs around the country in both residential and commercial areas.As of 2014, the Israel Police had close to 30,000 full-time officers and nearly 70,000 volunteers. Though an additional 700-1,000 soldiers will certainly assist police officers, they amount to a very small percentage of the total law enforcement in Israel.That the additional soldiers and “breathing closure” of East Jerusalem are operationally ineffectual does not diminish their role in this escalating rash of violence.In light of the recent attacks, Israelis have been on edge. An IDF officer fired his weapon inside of a moving train on Thursday morning after passengers saw a “suspicious” person and shouted, “Terrorist!” No terrorist was found on the train, but several people were lightly injured when the train’s emergency brakes kicked in.Hours later, the Israel Police conducted a massive manhunt, employing a helicopter and shutting down major highways in Tel Aviv, after reports came in of another “suspicious” vehicle, driven by two East Jerusalem residents. The Shin Bet interrogated the pair and found no evidence that they had planned to carry out a terrorist attack — they were only electricians out on a job.
Abbas urges Israel to arrest ‘inciting’ officials-PA president says government should apprehend anyone who ‘adds fuel to the fire of violence’-By Adiv Sterman October 15, 2015, 7:57 pm 8-the times of israel
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas called Thursday on Israel to arrest officials who promote “violence and incitement,” a day after he falsely claimed a 13-year-old Palestinian terrorist who was hit by a car while fleeing from police earlier this week was “executed” by Israel.“The Palestinian Authority demands an end to inciting statements by Israeli officials,” the PA president’s office said in a statement, according to Ynet. “We urge the Israeli government to act to arrest anyone who adds fuel to the fire of violence and incitement.”The Israeli Government Press Office published on Thursday clips and images 13-year-old Ahmed Manasra, who is accused of participating in a stabbing spree in Jerusalem Monday with his cousin Hassan Manasra, 15. He was awake and sitting in a bed at Jerusalem’s Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital.On Wednesday night, Abbas accused Israelis of “executing our boys in cold blood, as they did with the boy Ahmed Manasra and other children in Jerusalem and other places.”Other Palestinian officials and relatives have also claimed that Manasra and his cousin were not involved in an attack.The Prime Minister’s Office quickly issued a statement after the PA president’s speech, saying he was spreading “lies and incitement.”“ The boy he is referring to is alive and hospitalized in Hadassah after stabbing an Israeli child who was riding his bicycle,” the statement said.On Thursday, the independent news website 0404 published a short clip clearly showing Ahmad Manasra alive and relatively well.In another clip, the deputy head of Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital, where Manasra is hospitalized, could be seen saying the boy is “in moderate to light condition, hospitalized in one of our department and receiving good treatment. From a medical point of view, we will probably be able to discharge him in a few days.”One victim of Monday’s stabbing is in moderate condition. Another, a 13-year-old boy, is still unconscious. His condition was upgraded from critical on Monday, when he was stabbed, to serious but not life threatening on Tuesday.The attack was one in a series of nearly two dozen terror attacks over the last two weeks, many of which have involved East Jerusalem teens involved in stabbing attacks in the capital.Like us on Facebook
Terrorist Abbas said was ‘executed’ by Israel shown alive in hospital-Photos, videos of Ahmad Manasra, 13, show him conscious, sitting in bed; doctors says he will be well enough to be discharged in coming days-By Times of Israel staff October 15, 2015, 3:05 pm 68
Clips and images were published Thursday of a 13-year-old Palestinian terrorist who was hit by a car while fleeing from police earlier this week, disproving claims by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas who said Wednesday he was “executed” by Israel.The pictures, distributed by the Government Press Office, show Ahmad Manasra awake and sitting in a bed at Jerusalem’s Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital.In one picture he is seen making a hand gesture some have interpreted as an Islamist symbol.Manasra is accused of carrying out a stabbing spree on Monday with his cousin Hassan Manasra, 15, seriously injuring a 13-year- old boy and 25-year-old man. Hassan Manasra was shot and killed after charging at police with a knife, while Ahmed Manasra was injured after being hit by a car while fleeing.On Wednesday night, Abbas accused Israelis of “executing our boys in cold blood, as they did with the boy Ahmed Manasra and other children in Jerusalem and other places.”Other Palestinian officials and relatives have also claimed that Manasra and his cousin were not involved in an attack.The Prime Minister’s Office quickly issued a statement after the PA president’s speech saying he was spreading “lies and incitement.”“The boy he is referring to is alive and hospitalized in Hadassah after stabbing an Israeli child who was riding his bicycle,” the statement said.On Thursday, the independent news website Room 0404 published on its site and Facebook page a short clip clearly showing Ahmad Manasra alive and relatively well.In another clip, the deputy head of Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital, where Manasra is hospitalized, says he is “in moderate to light condition, hospitalized in one of our department and receiving good treatment.

Kerry blasts ‘reprehensible attacks’ on civilians-Amid firestorm over State Department comments on Israel, US secretary doubles down on condemnation of terrorism-By Rebecca Shimoni Stoil October 15, 2015, 9:23 pm 5-the times of israel
WASHINGTON — In the midst of a firestorm over comments from State Department spokesman John Kirby, who seemed to accuse Israel of excessive force against Palestinians, Secretary of State John Kerry denounced terrorism and emphasized that the US supports “Israel’s right to defend its existence.”Speaking at Indiana University Thursday, Kerry addressed the ongoing violence in Israel, saying that the US had seen its “tragic” effects “on civilians who were just trying to go about their business in Israel, the West Bank, Gaza and Jerusalem.”“We strongly condemn the terrorist attacks against innocent civilians,” he declared. “There is simply no justification for these reprehensible attacks and we will continue to support Israel’s right to defend its existence.”At the same time, Kerry continued, “it is critically important that calm be restored as soon as possible.”Kerry said that the US “will continue to stress the importance… of working to prevent inflammatory rhetoric, accusations, and actions that could contribute to violence.”The firestorm over Kirby’s comments came as Washington was trying to reduce tensions in the wake of a speech Tuesday by Kerry himself, who appeared to link or equate a spate of Palestinian terror attacks against Israelis with Israeli policies in the West Bank.Israeli ministers, including Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan and Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon, lashed out Thursday morning in response to Kirby’s statement a day earlier. During his daily press briefing, Kirby seemed to accuse Israel of using excessive force against Palestinians in response to the recent spate of attacks against Israeli civilians.“I don’t know whether to call them naive, in the US State Department and in the American government,” complained Erdan. “Instead of putting out idiotic declarations that pretend to address two equally guilty sides, they [should] focus pressure on the murderous, inciting Palestinian Authority; because of its incitement, young people go out and commit murderous acts.”Kirby had said the US had “seen some reports of security activity that could indicate the potential excessive use of force.” He did not elaborate on the incidents in question, and it was unclear if he was referring to Israel’s handling of Palestinian rioting or the shooting of knife-wielding Palestinian assailants, which many Palestinians and Israeli Arabs have claimed is excessive.Describing the State Department as “traditionally hostile toward Israel,” Erdan said that for American officials “to allow themselves to be taken in by lies that are presented to the American State Department is very strange, amateurish or worse, especially when there is footage from all of these events.”Amid reports that Kerry is trying to arrange meetings in Amman with Jordan’s King Abdullah and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Kerry acknowledged in his speech that he “expects to be traveling to the region in the coming days, and we will remain closely engaged to support efforts to stabilize the situation.”Kerry will be overseas starting Friday, when he is scheduled to have meetings with French leaders in Paris. His travel plans to the region remain significantly more vague, and the State Department will not divulge which countries – or leaders – he expects to include on his itinerary. Kerry devoted most of his talk to other topics, touching upon the controversial Trans-Pacific Partnership trade bill; the dangers of global warming and climate change; and the situation in Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq.“The challenges posed by the attacks in Israel and the West Bank and Afghanistan of course are symptoms of turbulence in the global scene,” Kerry said.

EU diplomats feel helpless on Israel violence By Andrew Rettman-oct 15,15-yahoonews
BRUSSELS, Today, 09:27-EU diplomats say their normal channels of communication are ill-equipped to calm the violence, while Israeli and Palestinian officials trade blame on "incitement".The new surge in Arab knife attacks, Jewish counter-attacks, police shootings, and other crackdowns has left EU diplomacy feeling helpless."We sympathise with civilian victims on both sides and our envoys on the ground [in Israel and Palestine] are speaking with officials. But that's the problem - we're talking to officials while the situation is unfolding outside the official context", a senior EU source told this website."The violence is taking place at the level of individuals. It's breaking down human relationships between the two sides", he added."The breakdown is so severe, we even had a case of a Jewish man who stabbed another Jewish man because he thought he was an Arab".For his part, David Walzer, Israel's envoy to the EU, laid the blame on Palestinian leaders.He told press in Brussels on Wednesday (14 October) the situation intensified when they called for protests against Israel's decision to block access, on security grounds, to the Al-Aqsa mosque in Israeli-occupied Jerusalem."Israel has no intention whatsoever to change the status quo on the Temple Mount", he said."The Palestinian leadership chose Al-Aqsa as a means to draw attention to their cause ... [now] they cannot control the aftermath of the fire they set"."Palestinian leaders are fostering the current wave of violence by depicting it as a legitimate form of popular resistance", he added.Citing one example, the International Association of Jewish Lawyers and Jurists on Tuesday wrote to the EU ambassador in Tel Aviv urging him to halt financial aid for The Palestinian Bar Association.The bar gave a posthumous degree to Muhannad Al-Halabi, a student who killed two Jewish Israelis before police shot him.It also called him a "martyr".But for Xavier Abu Eid, a senior aide to Palestinian leaders, the Israeli authorities caused the breakdown."I'm a Christian. But I also feel offended by the closure of Al-Aqsa", he told EUobserver from Ramallah, the de facto Palestinian capital, on Wednesday."People speak of an intifada [the Arab word for uprising] only when Israelis are affected. But Palestinians are affected every day by violence"."Settlers attack them with impunity. Where are the killers of Ali Dawabsheh? They're happily living in their settlement", he added, referring to an arson attack, in July, which killed a Palestinian infant."If a settler wants to kill a Palestinian, they just claim he had a knife, then they shoot him".There is also Israeli incitement.Yinon Magal, an MP, recently said Arabs should be driven out of Israel, as they were in 1948.Buzzilla, an internet consultancy, told Haaretz, an Israeli daily, it found 30,000 conversations calling for violence against Arabs on sites like Facebook and Twitter in the first week of October, compared to 10,000 the week before.Peace talks-Walzer, the Israeli ambassador, noted that Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has told EU officials he wants to resume peace talks."He has explicitly said that he is ready to return to the table without any preconditions".But Abu Eid said Palestinians have lost faith in high-level diplomacy.He said envoys from the Quartet, a UN body handling the conflict, were wrong to cancel their visit to Israel this week."There was some hope they could bring something to calm the situation. Then Netanyahu phoned them and they said they're not coming".He urged EU capitals to listen to their own people on the ground."The report by the EU heads of mission [in Ramallah], which was leaked to press in March, said very clearly there'll be violence if the situation stays the same", he said."They proposed some steps. But what happened? Nothing. As usual". The EU report noted that 2014 was already "one of the most troubled years in Jerusalem since the end of the Second Intifada [in 2005]".Deaths foretold-It spoke of a "vicious cycle of violence" and "mutual mistrust", amid a "background" of settlement expansion, Israeli "provocations" on Al Aqsa, and "lack of economic and political prospects" for Palestinians."If the root causes of … violence are not addressed, the likely outcome is further escalation", it warned.Its proposals included sanctions, such as EU visa bans on known violent settlers. But they weren't taken up.The EU is planning to publish a non-binding code on how European retailers should label settler goods in an attempt to put pressure on settlement building.But the senior EU source said publication is unlikely until the current violence subsides.
10/15/2015 -vatican insider-Koch: “Some issues could be solved on a continental level”-Kurt Koch-Bishops on a regional and continental level should be encouraged to work in communion when it comes to questions that relate to the whole Church. The Synod is working on this but it is still a work in progress. The general atmosphere is good and the dispute over procedure has been overcome-FRANCESCO PELOSO
vatican city-The President of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, Cardinal Kurt Koch, speaks of a Synod in which different personalities and issues are emerging in what is proving to be a positive exchange; there can be no contradiction between theology and pastoral care as they go hand in hand. “The salvation Christ brought into the world is intended for the people, as such, the pastoral dimension of theology must be very clear.”How are the discussions going? What is the general atmosphere like? “The atmosphere in the plenary meetings is very good, I see that everyone is speaking and listening. There is no major quarrelling over procedure, the discussions in the language-based discussion groups (circuli minores) continue and I get the impression that things are going well in these discussion groups too. There are a variety of personalities in the German-speaking group I am in, including big personalities, there is a good atmosphere and a good discussion going on.”Has the dispute over Synod procedure been overcome? “I think so, yes. I think the fact that there is a lot of time for discussion in the circuli minores, is a very positive thing because it means we have time to talk things through and not just listen to speeches during the course of the day.”Have you seen different sensitivities and approaches emerging? “I think that is only natural because the issues dealt with are in some cases very difficult and complex; one person sees one aspect, while another Synod Father highlights another one so at first it may seem as though there is a clash but when we dig deeper into problems, we notice that what we have is not necessarily a clash but two different aspects and we need to find a solution to the issues at hand.”About the duality of doctrine and pastoral care: are there two currents of thought within the Synod that favour one or the other? “There can be no contradiction between these two aspects. Theology necessarily has a pastoral dimension and pastoral care necessarily has a theological basis. We cannot develop theological thought inside a closed room and then ponder how we can adapt this to people because the salvation Christ brought into the world is intended for the people, as such, the pastoral dimension of theology must be very clear. For this reason, we cannot create a contradiction between these two aspects.”Some Synod Fathers have proposed a solution that would give bishops greater independence in certain areas, on a diocesan level. What do you think of this proposal? “It depends on the area. I am thinking, for example, of jurisdiction for marriages and annulment procedures, which the Pope has put diocesan bishops in charge of; but when it comes to issues that affect the Church as a whole, I do not think that is possible. We can encourage a third perspective: not just the universal Church or the bishop representing the local diocese, we could think also of a continental regional commission; these kind of levels are not yet well developed and I think that this aspect is far more important than handing all responsibility over to the diocesan bishop. Also because there is a communion between bishops who need to find a common solution within the same region.”Work in progress? “Yes, of course.”How will the Synod conclude?“I hope we will manage to deliver a good concluding document to the Pope and it will then be up to him to decide what to do. But I am certain that the Holy Father’s action will be very positive.”
