Netanyahu leading Israel to sanctions: Official

A senior Israeli official has blasted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for guiding Tel Aviv towards sanctions through disinclination for progress in talks with the Palestinians.
“Netanyahu’s conduct is resulting in sanctions, boycotting,” said the un-named official, Israeli website Ynet News informed on Friday.The premier had adopted the attitude, while, ‘Today Israel is in a more poor and sensitive condition than it was in 1948,” the official said, referring to the year of the occupation of Palestine by Israel.
“Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is not really willing to move forward with the negotiations.”
Palestinian and Israeli negotiators began a fresh round of talks in July. Previous talks broke down in September 2010 after Tel Aviv refused to freeze its settlement activities in the occupied West Bank.
Palestinians are seeking to create an independent state on the territories of the West Bank, East al-Quds (Jerusalem), and the Gaza Strip and are demanding Israel withdraw from the occupied Palestinian territories.
Tel Aviv, however, has refused to return to the 1967 borders and is unwilling to discuss the issue of al-Quds. Even days before the start of the talks, Israel announced plans for more than 2,000 new settler units in East al-Quds and the West Bank, which angered Palestinians.
Netanyahu “only wants to preserve his status in his party and everyone knows what it looks like,” the Israeli official noted.

47 US senators side with Israel lobby against Iran

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) has released the record of 47 US senators who have decided to co-sponsor a bill to impose additional sanctions against Iran.The sanctions bill, presented by Sens. Mark Kirk and Robert Menendez on Dec. 19, initially had the support of 24 other senators similarly divided between Democrats and Republicans.
The White House was quick to condemn the measure at the time, saying President Barack Obama would veto the bill “if it were to pass” Congress.
Senator Cory Booker, newly elected Democrat from New Jersey, quickly added his name to the list and since then, 20 other senators — all Republicans — have added their names, according Lobelog.com.
Fifty three senators, including 36 Democrats and two independents who normally vote with the Democratic caucus, have not agreed to co-sponsor the sanctions bill, making them “the top targets for AIPAC’s legendary powers of persuasion when the Senate reconvenes early next week.”
“What is remarkable about this list, however, is that very few of the 47 co-sponsors have chosen to publicize their support for the bill to their constituents through local media or other means,” writes American journalist Jim Lobe in his report.
President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry have repeatedly stated that the passage of a new sanctions bill would not only violate the spirit, if not the letter, of the interim nuclear deal, it would also cast serious doubt on Washington’s “good faith” in negotiations.
The new anti-Iran initiative in the Senate is at odds with the most recent assessment by the US intelligence community which has concluded that “new sanctions would undermine the prospects for a successful comprehensive nuclear agreement with Iran.”
Tehran has warned that any new sanctions against Iran would kill “the entire deal” reached between Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany in Geneva on November 24.

Israel is on the same trajectory of apartheid South Africa. In the future, it will face an entire world wide delegitimazation process.

Indeed Jewish and Pagans are the worst enemies to the believers(Muslims).

Rabbi Yitzhak Kaduri’s Prophecies & Death of Ariel Sharon

Prime Minister Ariel Sharon is dead at 85! Now speculation turns to the Rabbi Kaduri prophecy.
This post is to put together the strange sequence of events surrounding Ariel Sharon Prime Minister of Israel. It is believed that Ultra-Orthodox Jews placed a Kabbalistic death curse on Ariel Sharon for expelling Jews from settlements in the West Bank.
Sharon was elected prime minister in 2001, after the outbreak of the war referred to as the Second Intifada. Less than four years later, Sharon pulled out all Jewish residents from Gaza in the “Disengagement,” leaving a vacuum that the Hamas organization filled shortly thereafter. The story is shocking – the story is true – the story is still unfolding …
What makes this story stranger is that renowned Rabbi Yitzhak Kaduri made a prophetic announcement that the Messiah would soon appear following the death of Ariel Sharon. The Kauri prophecy is detailed concerning his prophecy that the Messiah is Jesus Christ.
In the fall of 2005, a 108-year-old rabbi, the most venerated rabbinical Jewish leader in Israel, proclaimed that he knew the name of the real Messiah. He insisted that he knew where the Messiah was and when He was going to reveal Himself to the world. Rabbi Kaduri claimed that he had personally seen the Messiah in a vision.
But … there were just a couple catches: Kaduri declared that a particular and famed world leader had to die before the Messiah appeared publicly.
Sharon’s death is of interest to mystics in Israel as well as prophecy buffs around the world because of the prediction by Kaduri.

US To Sell Israel 6 Osprey VTOL Planes

The Pentagon plans to sell six tilt-rotor Osprey aircraft to Israel in a long-planned deal worth $1.13 billion, officials said Tuesday.
Israel will become the first foreign country to be allowed to purchase the V-22 Osprey, which can take off like a helicopter and fly like a turboprop airplane.

US officials had announced plans to sell the Osprey to Israel last year but the Pentagon unveiled details of the arms package Tuesday in a formal notification to Congress, which has 15 days to raise any objections to the sale.

Apart from the V-22s, the package includes radar, missile warning systems, radios, night vision goggles, navigation systems and other equipment for the Ospreys, according to the Defense Security Cooperation Agency.

“The proposed sale of V-22B aircraft will enhance and increase the Israel Defense Forces’ search and rescue and special operations capabilities,” the agency said in a statement.

“The V-22B provides the capability to move personnel and equipment to areas not accessible by fixed wing lift assets.”

The US Marine Corps has pioneered the use of the Osprey and commanders have touted the aircraft as able to move troops faster and over longer distances than a helicopter.

The Osprey was plagued by accidents and technical problems in its early years but has been heavily used by the Marines in Afghanistan. The Air Force also uses the Osprey for its special operations forces.

The United States has committed itself to maintaining Israel’s “qualitative military edge” and provides about $3 billion in grants every year, representing about 20 percent of Israel’s defense budget.

The planned arms sale coincides with strains in US-Israeli relations over Washington’s support for an interim agreement on Iran’s nuclear program and diplomatic efforts for Middle East peace.

US officials expressed anger after Israel’s defense minister Moshe Yaalon complained about US Secretary of State John Kerry’s shuttle diplomacy, suggesting his efforts were futile and naive.
