Russia Hits Obama?Hard: We are Reaching a Really Terrifying Conclusion for the Whole World:

RUSSIA HITS OBAMA…HARD: “We are reaching a really terrifying conclusion for the whole world: That the White House is defending Islamic State.

U.S.-led coalition air strikes killed dozens of Syrian soldiers on Saturday, endangering a U.S.-Russian ceasefire and prompting an emergency U.N. Security Council meeting as tensions between Moscow and Washington escalated.

Just a few days ago it was reported that Putin felt that if anything happened to damage the tentative ceasefire agreement that it would be Obama’s fault. Seems he was right.

Reuters reported:

The United States military said the coalition stopped the attacks against what it had believed to be Islamic State positions in northeast Syria after Russia informed it that Syrian military personnel and vehicles may have been hit.   

The United States relayed its “regret” through the Russian government for what it described as the unintentional loss of life of Syrian forces in the strike, a senior Obama administration official said in an emailed statement.   

Pentagon press secretary Peter Cook said in an emailed statement that Russian officials did not voice concerns earlier on Saturday when informed that coalition aircraft would be operating in the strike area.    The 15-member Security Council met on Saturday night after Russia demanded an emergency session to discuss the incident and accused the United States of jeopardizing the Syria deal.   

The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Samantha Power, chastised Russia for the move. “Russia really needs to stop the cheap point scoring and the grandstanding and the stunts and focus on what matters, which is implementation of something we negotiated in good faith with them,” Power told reporters. She said the United States was investigating the air strikes and “if we determine that we did indeed strike Syrian military personnel, that was not our intention and we of course regret the loss of life.”   

When asked if the incident spelled the end of the Syria deal between Moscow and Washington, Russia’s U.N. Ambassador Vitaly Churkin said: “This is a very big question mark.”   

“I would be very interested to see how Washington is going to react. If what Ambassador Power has done today is any indication of their possible reaction then we are in serious trouble,” Churkin told reporters. Moscow cited the strikes, which allowed Islamic State fighters to briefly overrun a Syrian army position near Deir al-Zor airport, as evidence that the United States was helping.

Netanyahu Addresses the World
Sep 24th, 2016
CommentaryIsrael Today
Categories: The Nation Of Israel

Following is a transcript of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's remarks 
today (Thursday, 22 September 2016), at the United Nations General Assembly 
in New York:

"Mr. President,

Ladies and Gentlemen,

What I'm about to say is going to shock you: Israel has a bright future at 
the UN.

Now I know that hearing that from me must surely come as a surprise, because 
year after year I've stood at this very podium and slammed the UN for its 
obsessive bias against Israel. And the UN deserved every scathing word – for 
the disgrace of the General Assembly that last year passed 20 resolutions 
against the democratic State of Israel and a grand total of three 
resolutions against all the other countries on the planet.

Israel – twenty; rest of the world – three.

And what about the joke called the UN Human Rights Council, which each year 
condemns Israel more than all the countries of the world combined. As women 
are being systematically raped, murdered, sold into slavery across the 
world, which is the only country that the UN's Commission on Women chose to 
condemn this year? Yep, you guessed it – Israel. Israel. Israel where women 
fly fighter jets, lead major corporations, head universities, preside – 
twice – over the Supreme Court, and have served as Speaker of the Knesset 
and Prime Minister.

And this circus continues at UNESCO. UNESCO, the UN body charged with 
preserving world heritage. Now, this is hard to believe but UNESCO just 
denied the 4,000 year connection between the Jewish people and its holiest 
site, the Temple Mount. That's just as absurd as denying the connection 
between the Great Wall of China and China.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

The UN, begun as a moral force, has become a moral farce. So when it comes 
to Israel at the UN, you'd probably think nothing will ever change, right? 
Well think again. You see, everything will change and a lot sooner than you 
think. The change will happen in this hall, because back home, your 
governments are rapidly changing their attitudes towards Israel. And sooner 
or later, that's going to change the way you vote on Israel at the UN.

More and more nations in Asia, in Africa, in Latin America, more and more 
nations see Israel as a potent partner – a partner in fighting the terrorism 
of today, a partner in developing the technology of tomorrow.

Today Israel has diplomatic relations with over 160 countries. That's nearly 
double the number that we had when I served here as Israel's ambassador some 
30 years ago. And those ties are getting broader and deeper every day. World 
leaders increasingly appreciate that Israel is a powerful country with one 
of the best intelligence services on earth. Because of our unmatched 
experience and proven capabilities in fighting terrorism, many of your 
governments seek our help in keeping your countries safe.

Many also seek to benefit from Israel's ingenuity in agriculture, in health, 
in water, in cyber and in the fusion of big data, connectivity and 
artificial intelligence – that fusion that is changing our world in every 
way.

You might consider this: Israel leads the world in recycling wastewater. We 
recycle about 90% of our wastewater. Now, how remarkable is that? Well, 
given that the next country on the list only recycles about 20% of its 
wastewater, Israel is a global water power. So if you have a thirsty world, 
and we do, there's no better ally than Israel.

How about cybersecurity? That's an issue that affects everyone. Israel 
accounts for one-tenth of one percent of the world's population, yet last 
year we attracted some 20% of the global private investment in 
cybersecurity. I want you to digest that number. In cyber, Israel is 
punching a whopping 200 times above its weight. So Israel is also a global 
cyber power. If hackers are targeting your banks, your planes, your power 
grids and just about everything else, Israel can offer indispensable help.

Governments are changing their attitudes towards Israel because they know 
that Israel can help them protect their peoples, can help them feed them, 
can help them better their lives.

This summer I had an unbelievable opportunity to see this change so vividly 
during an unforgettable visit to four African countries. This is the first 
visit to Africa by an Israeli prime minister in decades. Later today, I'll 
be meeting with leaders from 17 African countries. We'll discuss how Israeli 
technology can help them in their efforts to transform their countries.

In Africa, things are changing. In China, India, Russia, Japan, attitudes 
towards Israel have changed as well. These powerful nations know that, 
despite Israel's small size, it can make a big difference in many, many 
areas that are important to them.

But now I'm going to surprise you even more. You see, the biggest change in 
attitudes towards Israel is taking place elsewhere. It's taking place in the 
Arab world. Our peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan continue to be anchors 
of stability in the volatile Middle East. But I have to tell you this: For 
the first time in my lifetime, many other states in the region recognize 
that Israel is not their enemy. They recognize that Israel is their ally. 
Our common enemies are Iran and ISIS. Our common goals are security, 
prosperity and peace. I believe that in the years ahead we will work 
together to achieve these goals, work together openly.

So Israel's diplomatic relations are undergoing nothing less than a 
revolution. But in this revolution, we never forget that our most cherished 
alliance, our deepest friendship is with the United States of America, the 
most powerful and the most generous nation on earth. Our unbreakable bond 
with the United States of America transcends parties and politics. It 
reflects, above all else, the overwhelming support for Israel among the 
American people, support which is at record highs and for which we are 
deeply grateful.

The United Nations denounces Israel; the United States supports Israel. And 
a central pillar of that defense has been America's consistent support for 
Israel at the UN. I appreciate President Obama's commitment to that 
longstanding US policy. In fact, the only time that the United States cast a 
UN Security Council veto during the Obama presidency was against an 
anti-Israel resolution in 2011. As President Obama rightly declared at this 
podium, peace will not come from statements and resolutions at the United 
Nations.

I believe the day is not far off when Israel will be able to rely on many, 
many countries to stand with us at the UN. Slowly but surely, the days when 
UN ambassadors reflexively condemn Israel, those days are coming to an end.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Today's automatic majority against Israel at the UN reminds me of the story, 
the incredible story of Hiroo Onada. Hiroo was a Japanese soldier who was 
sent to the Philippines in 1944. He lived in the jungle. He scavenged for 
food. He evaded capture. Eventually he surrendered, but that didn't happen 
until 1974, some 30 years after World War II ended. For decades, Hiroo 
refused to believe the war was over. As Hiroo was hiding in the jungle, 
Japanese tourists were swimming in pools in American luxury hotels in nearby 
Manila. Finally, mercifully, Hiroo's former commanding officer was sent to 
persuade him to come out of hiding. Only then did Hiroo lay down his arms.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Distinguished delegates from so many lands,

I have one message for you today: Lay down your arms. The war against Israel 
at the UN is over. Perhaps some of you don't know it yet, but I am confident 
that one day in the not too distant future you will also get the message 
from your president or from your prime minister informing you that the war 
against Israel at the United Nations has ended. Yes, I know, there might be 
a storm before the calm. I know there is talk about ganging up on Israel at 
the UN later this year. Given its history of hostility towards Israel, does 
anyone really believe that Israel will let the UN determine our security and 
our vital national interests?

We will not accept any attempt by the UN to dictate terms to Israel. The 
road to peace runs through Jerusalem and Ramallah, not through New York.

But regardless of what happens in the months ahead, I have total confidence 
that in the years ahead the revolution in Israel's standing among the 
nations will finally penetrate this hall of nations. I have so much 
confidence, in fact, that I predict that a decade from now an Israeli prime 
minister will stand right here where I am standing and actually applaud the 
UN. But I want to ask you: Why do we have to wait a decade? Why keep 
vilifying Israel? Perhaps because some of you don't appreciate that the 
obsessive bias against Israel is not just a problem for my country, it's a 
problem for your countries too. Because if the UN spends so much time 
condemning the only liberal democracy in the Middle East, it has far less 
time to address war, disease, poverty, climate change and all the other 
serious problems that plague the planet.

Are the half million slaughtered Syrians helped by your condemnation of 
Israel? The same Israel that has treated thousands of injured Syrians in our 
hospitals, including a field hospital that I built right along the Golan 
Heights border with Syria. Are the gays hanging from cranes in Iran helped 
by your denigration of Israel? That same Israel where gays march proudly in 
our streets and serve in our parliament, including I'm proud to say in my 
own Likud party. Are the starving children in North Korea's brutal tyranny, 
are they helped by your demonization of Israel? Israel, whose agricultural 
knowhow is feeding the hungry throughout the developing world?

The sooner the UN's obsession with Israel ends, the better. The better for 
Israel, the better for your countries, the better for the UN itself.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

If UN habits die hard, Palestinian habits die even harder. President Abbas 
just attacked from this podium the Balfour Declaration. He's preparing a 
lawsuit against Britain for that declaration from 1917. That's almost 100 
years ago – talk about being stuck in the past. The Palestinians may just as 
well sue Iran for the Cyrus Declaration, which enabled the Jews to rebuild 
our Temple in Jerusalem 2,500 years ago. Come to think of it, why not a 
Palestinian class action suit against Abraham for buying that plot of land 
in Hebron where the fathers and mothers of the Jewish people were buried 
4,000 years ago? You're not laughing. It's as absurd as that. To sue the 
British government for the Balfour Declaration? Is he kidding? And this is 
taken seriously here?

President Abbas attacked the Balfour Declaration because it recognized the 
right of the Jewish people to a national home in the land of Israel. When 
the United Nations supported the establishment of a Jewish state in 1947, it 
recognized our historical and our moral rights in our homeland and to our 
homeland. Yet today, nearly 70 years later, the Palestinians still refuse to 
recognize those rights – not our right to a homeland, not our right to a 
state, not our right to anything. And this remains the true core of the 
conflict, the persistent Palestinian refusal to recognize the Jewish state 
in any boundary. You see, this conflict is not about the settlements. It 
never was.

The conflict raged for decades before there was a single settlement, when 
Judea Samaria and Gaza were all in Arab hands. The West Bank and Gaza were 
in Arab hands and they attacked us again and again and again. And when we 
uprooted all 21 settlements in Gaza and withdrew from every last inch of 
Gaza, we didn't get peace from Gaza – we got thousands of rockets fired at 
us from Gaza.

This conflict rages because for the Palestinians, the real settlements 
they're after are Haifa, Jaffa and Tel Aviv.

Now mind you, the issue of settlements is a real one and it can and must be 
resolved in final status negotiations. But this conflict has never been 
about the settlements or about establishing a Palestinian state. It's always 
been about the existence of a Jewish state, a Jewish state in any boundary.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Israel is ready, I am ready to negotiate all final status issues but one 
thing I will never negotiate: Our right to the one and only Jewish state.

Wow, sustained applause for the Prime Minister of Israel in the General 
Assembly? The change may be coming sooner than I thought.

Had the Palestinians said yes to a Jewish state in 1947, there would have 
been no war, no refugees and no conflict. And when the Palestinians finally 
say yes to a Jewish state, we will be able to end this conflict once and for 
all.

Now here's the tragedy, because, see, the Palestinians are not only trapped 
in the past, their leaders are poisoning the future.

I want you to imagine a day in the life of a 13-year-old Palestinian boy, 
I'll call him Ali. Ali wakes up before school, he goes to practice with a 
soccer team named after Dalal Mughrabi, a Palestinian terrorist responsible 
for the murder of a busload of 37 Israelis. At school, Ali attends an event 
sponsored by the Palestinian Ministry of Education honoring Baha Alyan, who 
last year murdered three Israeli civilians. On his walk home, Ali looks up 
at a towering statue erected just a few weeks ago by the Palestinian 
Authority to honor Abu Sukar, who detonated a bomb in the center of 
Jerusalem, killing 15 Israelis.

When Ali gets home, he turns on the TV and sees an interview with a senior 
Palestinian official, Jibril Rajoub, who says that if he had a nuclear bomb, 
he'd detonate it over Israel that very day. Ali then turns on the radio and 
he hears President Abbas's adviser, Sultan Abu al-Einein, urging 
Palestinians, here's a quote, "to slit the throats of Israelis wherever you 
find them." Ali checks his Facebook and he sees a recent post by President 
Abbas's Fatah Party calling the massacre of 11 Israeli athletes at the 
Munich Olympics a "heroic act". On YouTube, Ali watches a clip of President 
Abbas himself saying, "We welcome every drop of blood spilled in Jerusalem." 
Direct quote.

Over dinner, Ali asks his mother what would happen if he killed a Jew and 
went to an Israeli prison? Here's what she tells him. She tells him he'd be 
paid thousands of dollars each month by the Palestinian Authority. In fact, 
she tells him, the more Jews he would kill, the more money he'd get. Oh, and 
when he gets out of prison, Ali would be guaranteed a job with the 
Palestinian Authority.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

All this is real. It happens every day, all the time. Sadly, Ali represents 
hundreds of thousands of Palestinian children who are indoctrinated with 
hate every moment, every hour.

This is child abuse.

Imagine your child undergoing this brainwashing. Imagine what it takes for a 
young boy or girl to break free out of this culture of hate. Some do but far 
too many don't. How can any of us expect young Palestinians to support peace 
when their leaders poison their minds against peace?

We in Israel don't do this. We educate our children for peace. In fact, we 
recently launched a pilot program, my government did, to make the study of 
Arabic mandatory for Jewish children so that we can better understand each 
other, so that we can live together side-by-side in peace.

Of course, like all societies Israel has fringe elements. But it's our 
response to those fringe elements, it's our response to those fringe 
elements that makes all the difference.

Take the tragic case of Ahmed Dawabsha. I'll never forget visiting Ahmed in 
the hospital just hours after he was attacked. A little boy, really a baby, 
he was badly burned. Ahmed was the victim of a horrible terrorist act 
perpetrated by Jews. He lay bandaged and unconscious as Israeli doctors 
worked around the clock to save him.

No words can bring comfort to this boy or to his family. Still, as I stood 
by his bedside I told his uncle, "This is not our people. This is not our 
way." I then ordered extraordinary measures to bring Ahmed's assailants to 
justice and today the Jewish citizens of Israel accused of attacking the 
Dawabsha family are in jail awaiting trial.

Now, for some, this story shows that both sides have their extremists and 
both sides are equally responsible for this seemingly endless conflict.

But what Ahmed's story actually proves is the very opposite. It illustrates 
the profound difference between our two societies, because while Israeli 
leaders condemn terrorists, all terrorists, Arabs and Jews alike, 
Palestinian leaders celebrate terrorists. While Israel jails the handful of 
Jewish terrorists among us, the Palestinians pay thousands of terrorists 
among them.

So I call on President Abbas: you have a choice to make. You can continue to 
stoke hatred as you did today or you can finally confront hatred and work 
with me to establish peace between our two peoples.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I hear the buzz. I know that many of you have given up on peace. But I want 
you to know – I have not given up on peace. I remain committed to a vision 
of peace based on two states for two peoples. I believe as never before that 
changes taking place in the Arab world today offer a unique opportunity to 
advance that peace.

I commend President el-Sisi of Egypt for his efforts to advance peace and 
stability in our region. Israel welcomes the spirit of the Arab peace 
initiative and welcomes a dialogue with Arab states to advance a broader 
peace. I believe that for that broader peace to be fully achieved the 
Palestinians have to be part of it. I'm ready to begin negotiations to 
achieve this today – not tomorrow, not next week, today.

President Abbas spoke here an hour ago. Wouldn't it be better if instead of 
speaking past each other we were speaking to one another? President Abbas, 
instead of railing against Israel at the United Nations in New York, I 
invite you to speak to the Israeli people at the Knesset in Jerusalem. And I 
would gladly come to speak to the Palestinian parliament in Ramallah.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

While Israel seeks peace with all our neighbors, we also know that peace has 
no greater enemy than the forces of militant Islam. The bloody trail of this 
fanaticism runs through all the continents represented here. It runs through 
Paris and Nice, Brussels and Baghdad, Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, Minnesota and 
New York, from Sydney to San Bernardino. So many have suffered its savagery: 
Christian and Jews, women and gays, Yazidis and Kurds and many, many others.

Yet the heaviest price, the heaviest price of all has been paid by innocent 
Muslims. Hundreds of thousands unmercifully slaughtered. Millions turned 
into desperate refugees, tens of millions brutally subjugated. The defeat of 
militant Islam will thus be a victory for all humanity, but it would 
especially be a victory for those many Muslims who seek a life without fear, 
a life of peace, a life of hope.

But to defeat the forces of militant Islam, we must fight them relentlessly. 
We must fight them in the real world. We must fight them in the virtual 
world. We must dismantle their networks, disrupt their funding, discredit 
their ideology. We can defeat them and we will defeat them. Medievalism is 
no match for modernity. Hope is stronger than hate, freedom mightier than 
fear.

We can do this.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Israel fights this fateful battle against the forces of militant Islam every 
day. We keep our borders safe from ISIS, we prevent the smuggling of 
game-changing weapons to Hezbollah in Lebanon, we thwart Palestinian terror 
attacks in Judea and Samaria, the West Bank, and we deter missile attacks 
from Hamas-controlled Gaza.

That's the same Hamas terror organization that cruelly, unbelievably cruelly 
refuses to return three of our citizens and the bodies of our fallen 
soldiers, Oron Shaul and Hadar Goldin. Hadar Goldin's parents, Leah and 
Simcha Goldin, are here with us today. They have one request – to bury their 
beloved son in Israel. All they ask for is one simple thing – to be able to 
visit the grave of their fallen son Hadar in Israel. Hamas refuses. They 
couldn't care less.

I implore you to stand with them, with us, with all that's decent in our 
world against the inhumanity of Hamas – all that is indecent and barbaric. 
Hamas breaks every humanitarian rule in the book, throw the book at them.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

The greatest threat to my country, to our region, and ultimately to our 
world remains the militant Islamic regime of Iran. Iran openly seeks 
Israel's annihilation. It threatens countries across the Middle East, it 
sponsors terror worldwide.

This year, Iran has fired ballistic missiles in direct defiance of Security 
Council Resolutions. It has expended its aggression in Iraq, in Syria, in 
Yemen. Iran, the world's foremost sponsor of terrorism continued to build 
its global terror network. That terror network now spans five continents.

So my point to you is this: The threat Iran poses to all of us is not behind 
us, it's before us. In the coming years, there must be a sustained and 
united effort to push back against Iran's aggression and Iran's terror. With 
the nuclear constraints on Iran one year closer to being removed, let me be 
clear: Israel will not allow the terrorist regime in Iran to develop nuclear 
weapons – not now, not in a decade, not ever.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I stand before you today at a time when Israel's former president, Shimon 
Peres, is fighting for his life. Shimon is one of Israel's founding fathers, 
one of its boldest statesmen, one of its most respected leaders. I know you 
will all join me and join all the people of Israel in wishing him refuah 
shlemah Shimon, a speedy recovery.

I've always admired Shimon's boundless optimism, and like him, I too am 
filled with hope. I am filled with hope because Israel is capable of 
defending itself by itself against any threat. I am filled with hope because 
the valor of our fighting men and women is second to none. I am filled with 
hope because I know the forces of civilization will ultimately triumph over 
the forces of terror. I am filled with hope because in the age of 
innovation, Israel – the innovation nation – is thriving as never before. I 
am filled with hope because Israel works tirelessly to advance equality and 
opportunity for all its citizens: Jews, Muslims, Christians, Druze, 
everyone. And I am filled with hope because despite all the naysayers, I 
believe that in the years ahead, Israel will forge a lasting peace with all 
our neighbors.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am hopeful about what Israel can accomplish because I've seen what Israel 
has accomplished. In 1948, the year of Israel's independence, our population 
was 800,000. Our main export was oranges. People said then we were too 
small, too weak, too isolated, too demographically outnumbered to survive, 
let alone thrive. The skeptics were wrong about Israel then; the skeptics 
are wrong about Israel now.

Israel's population has grown tenfold, our economy fortyfold. Today our 
biggest export is technology – Israeli technology, which powers the world's 
computers, cellphones, cars and so much more.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

The future belongs to those who innovate and this is why the future belongs 
to countries like Israel. Israel wants to be your partner in seizing that 
future, so I call on all of you: Cooperate with Israel, embrace Israel, 
dream with Israel. Dream of the future that we can build together, a future 
of breathtaking progress, a future of security, prosperity and peace, a 
future of hope for all humanity, a future where even at the UN, even in this 
hall, Israel will finally, inevitably, take its rightful place among the 
nations.

Thank you."

Most Dangerous Person on the Planet Today: Hillary Clinton
Sep 24th, 2016
CommentaryTyler Durden - Zero Hedge
Categories: Contemporary Issues

On Monday, Hillary Clinton accused Donald Trump of giving “aid and comfort” to Islamic terrorists, and that terrorists use his rhetoric to recruit fighters.

On fighting terrorism, she chastised Trump “I Know How to Do This“.

“I’m the only candidate in this race who’s been part of the hard decisions to take terrorists off the battlefield. I have sat at that table in the Situation Room,” said Clinton.

Here’s my counterclaim: Hillary Clinton not only sponsors terrorism, she is a terrorist.

Irony of the Year

The irony of the day, week, month and year is Hillary’s statement “I Know How to Do This“.

• Hillary supported Bush’s inane war in Iraq.
• Hillary supported Bush’s inane war in Afghanistan.
• Hillary was the mastermind of US failed strategy in Libya.
• Hillary is the single person most responsible for Benghazi.
• Hillary supports president Obama’s drone policy.
• There has never been a war Hillary did not support.

The most surefire way to make a terrorist out of a non-terrorist is to kill an innocent child or bomb an innocent person’s home. Doing so is sure to radicalize friends and family.

String of US Terrorism

There is nothing more un-American or unconstitutional than bombing other countries indiscriminately with no declaration of war, and with little or no regard to the lives of innocent victims.

Hillary Clinton supported those policies as Secretary of State. Hillary Clinton, like George Bush, like Dick Cheney, and like president Obama are all guilty of terrorism.

If you disagree, please put yourself in the shoes of a mother whose 4-year old daughter was “accidentally” killed by a US drone. Envision your neighbor’s house “accidentally” blown to smithereens by drones.

Is it not terrorism because it’s an accident? What practical difference does it make?

In the eyes of the families of innocent victims, no words better describe such actions than “US terrorism“. I guarantee that is precisely how you would feel if it was your son or daughter killed, or it was your house blown up.

On April 23, 2015 the New York Times reported Drone Strikes Reveal Uncomfortable Truth: U.S. Is Often Unsure About Who Will Die.

“Mr. Obama and his top aides have repeatedly promised greater openness about the drone program but have never really delivered on it,” said the Times, quoting Rachel Stohl, of the Stimson Center, a Washington research institute.

On October 20, 2015, the Huffington Post reported Nearly 90 Percent Of People Killed In Recent Drone Strikes Were Not The Target.

“U.S. drone strikes have killed scores of civilians in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia,” said the article, emphasis mine.

US Policy Radicalizes Terrorists

How many terrorists did the US radicalize in the process?

How many innocent civilians died? How much compensation did the US pay? Sorry, that’s classified information.

Given US drone policy, it’s a wonder there has not been more terrorists incidents in the US. One surefire way to have more incidents in the US is to accept Obama’s plan to take in 65,000 Syrian refugees.

Hillary Promises More of the Same

Hillary’s refugee policies would ensure we would have more terrorist attacks in the US.

Globally, her statements prove she will continue the disastrous, counterproductive, and illegal policies of the Bush and Obama administration.

Logically speaking, Hillary Clinton is the biggest threat to world peace and the most dangerous person on the planet.

Israel Buses in Syrian Children for Medical Treatment

With the help of the Jewish-American organization "Amaliah" and in coordination with the Israeli army 42 children and their parents have been brought from Syria to Israel to receive medical treatment at hospitals in Safed (Tzfat) and Nahariya.

The children come from the area of ​​Quneitra in southern Syria, which has been hit hard by their country's ongoing civil war.

This is not the first time Israeli hospitals have aided Syrian civilians, including children. But until now, such aid has always been paid for by the Israeli taxpayer.

The current operation marks the first time that the funding for Israeli aid to Syrians has come from donors, mainly from the American Jewish community.

American-Israeli businessman Moti Kahana, the president of Amaliah, the organization that facilitated the donations, had this to say:

"These children have not seen a hospital for five years. The goal of our organization is to help the Syrians on the other side of the border to be able to help themselves. We can be proud of our country... [Israel] is doing something that no other country is doing" to help the Syrians.

After treatment in the hospitals, the children spent several days on a kibbutz in northern Israel. They also received aid packages with food, medicine and toys to take back to Syria.

Canadian Pastor Ordered to Allow Gay - Straight Alliances At His Christian Schools

EDMONTON — A Canadian pastor is standing firm after being ordered to allow gay-straight alliances to be formed at his Christian schools.

According to reports, on Sept. 2, Alberta Education Minister David Eggen sent a letter to Brian Coldwell, the chairman of the Independent Baptist Christian Education Society and pastor of New Testament Baptist Church, to demand that he allow the alliances at his two schools as per provincial law.

Coldwell runs Meadows Baptist Academy and Harvest Baptist Academy in Parkland County.

Earlier this year, Eggen sent a letter to school boards throughout the province, advising that officials must draft and submit policies by the end of March surrounding how they would accommodate homosexual and transgender students.

But Coldwell told CBC News that he would not comply.

“I have a duty as a pastor to protect the flock of God,” he said. “And there is no way under heaven I’m going to allow gay activists to come in here and basically undermine our ministries and our religious freedoms or confuse and corrupt our children.”

“To be able to come into religious institutions, Christian schools, churches and demand that they can set up their GSA clubs and have a platform to advance what I would call anti-Christian, hostile liberal, secular values that really undermine our Christian faith,” Coldwell said.

Therefore, Eggen sent Coldwell a letter this month, laying down a deadline of two weeks to send written assurance that gay-straight alliances would be allowed at his school. Coldwell again refused, and instead, Eggen received a letter from Coldwell’s attorney.

“They did not change their position,” Eggen told reporters on Monday. “They did not give us any indication that they would provide written assurance that they would allow students to form a gay-straight alliance.”

On Friday, Eggan posted an open letter to students within the province, advising, “You have the right to create a gay-straight alliance or a queer-straight alliance, and you have the right to name your clubs this way. You have the right to use the washroom that is consistent with your gender identity.”

Coldwell says that students are free to choose other schools if they don’t align with the Christian faith and its teachings on sexuality.

“If a student doesn’t agree with our statement of faith, and our Christian moral values and so forth, then they have the option of attending many other schools—secular schools, non-religious schools,” he told the CBC. “We’re not saying that the gay community doesn’t have any rights. But they just don’t have the right to come in here and push their agenda, or what you might call the rainbow ideology.”

Eggan has now launched a formal inquiry into the Independent Baptist Christian Education Society. He said that the society could possibly lose its charter or the $2.5 million in funding it receives from the government.

Kris Wells of the Institute for Sexual Minority Studies and Services at the University of Alberta told Global News that he would like for Eggan to be even stricter in his enforcement.

“If you don’t comply with the law, then there are consequences,” he said. “I’m not sure how many more opportunities school boards need to be given.”

Groups like Wells’ believe that the government should have created one uniform policy and required all schools to conform.

“What we’ve seen is what we thought would happen,” he said. “Schools are not going to comply no matter how many chances they get.”

Ancient Rare Text Reveals Purity of Biblical Tradition Through Miracle of Technology

Completed virtual unwrapping for the Ein-Gedi scroll (Brent Seales)

This week, incredible cutting-edge technology allowed archaeologists to finally read the contents of a burned 1,500-year-old scroll found near the Dead Sea in 1970. The remarkable discovery of verses from the Book of Leviticus, which matched, letter for letter, the Hebrew text still in use today, is the first instance of one of the Five Books of Moses ever found in a Holy Ark.

On Wednesday, researchers in Kentucky and Jerusalem announced in the Science Advances journal the success of new technology called ‘virtual unwrapping’. A complicated and difficult process based on the technology used in medical CT scans, researchers said it “represents a significant leap forward in the field of manuscript recovery, conservation, and analysis”.

The technique allowed scientists to read the Ein Gedi Scroll, a charred, ancient parchment discovered in an ancient destroyed synagogue on the shores of the Dead Sea more than forty years ago which has sat on a shelf, untouchable and indecipherable, ever since.

When the researchers saw the first results, it made for a startling revelation: the scroll contained the first eight verses of Leviticus, making it the earliest Torah writings ever found in the Holy Ark of an ancient synagogue and marking a significant discovery in Biblical archaeology.

Studies based on historical handwriting placed it at either the first or second century CE. When the researchers read the digitally enhanced text, they discovered that all of the words and paragraph breaks were absolutely identical to the Torah text still used today.

“This is quite amazing for us. In 2,000 years, this text has not changed,” Emmanuel Tov, a participant in the study from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, told the Times of Israel,

“There are clear signs of continuity of tradition,” Professor Tov said in an interview with National Geographic. “It can’t be coincidental that the synagogue in Ein Gedi that was burned in the sixth century housed an early scroll whose text was completely identical with medieval texts. The same central stream of Judaism that used this Levitical scroll in one of the early centuries of our era was to continue using it until the late Middle Ages when printing was invented.”

Torah-observant archaeologist Benyamin Storchan, who straddles the two worlds of science and religion, agreed. According to him, the discovery fits perfectly into Judaism’s spiritual history.

“This a textual building block in the big story. The consistency of the text shows that we have an unbroken chain, the end result being present day Judaism,” Storchan told Breaking Israel News.

The scroll was first discovered in 1970, when archaeologists were working near Ein Gedi, a natural spring oasis on the shore of the Dead Sea. They discovered the remains of a Jewish community dating back to eighth century BCE.

The small city had thrived until 600 CE, when it was destroyed and the buildings burned. In the remains of the ark of the synagogue, the archaeologists found a parchment rolled up but entirely burned, so damaged by fire that it was impossible to unroll it for inspection without the charred parchment crumbling into ashes.

The scroll was faithfully stored away by the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) with little hope of ever being able to study what was written on them.

Forty years later, in 2015, computer scientists at the University of Kentucky developed software for unraveling damaged and delicate texts. Originally designed for deciphering Roman scrolls, the technique is even more successful with ancient Jewish texts written with ink containing a metal element that shows up more clearly on the X-ray scans.

The researchers scanned 100 sections from the charred remains of the Ein Gedi scroll, which had been rolled five times. Incredibly, they were able to create a digital image of the scroll and “unroll” the image without even touching it. The scan revealed two columns of writing, composed of 35 lines, 18 of which were preserved while the other 17 had to be digitally reconstructed.

Until 1947, the oldest known Biblical texts dated only to the tenth century. The Dead Sea Scrolls, written in approximately the third century BCE, provided a rare and exciting glimpse into even earlier ancient Jewish texts. Now, the Ein Gedi scroll is filling out that picture and confirming the authenticity of present-day texts.

Jewish scribal tradition ensures that discrepancies in reproduction do not occur. Holy texts are hand-copied letter for letter from accepted originals. Strict guidelines are given for writing techniques, shapes of letters, and breaks in the text, striving to maintain an unbroken chain from Sinai. The latest discovery is the closest Jews have yet come to proof that the chain has remained intact.
