Mona Charen: Hagel Proves Obama Won’t Stop Iran—Does it matter that a nominee for secretary of defense doesn’t particularly care for American power? Speaking to the Center for Strategic and International Studies in 2007, Sen. Chuck Hagel revealed the kind of prejudices regarding American military strength most frequently found in the pages of the Nation magazine or among protesters at Occupy rallies. Distancing himself from Republicans he regarded as too bellicose, Hagel said, “Rather than acting like a nation riddled with the insecurities of a schoolyard bully, we ought to carry ourselves with the confidence that should come from the dignity of our heritage, the experience of our history, and from the strength of our humanity, not from the power of our military.”
Jeffrey Goldberg: Six Degrees of Sally Oren—Scholars of Middle East politics and students of the San Francisco–centered psychedelic-rock movement of the 1960s have for years asked the same vexing question: Just how many degrees of separation exist between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Grateful Dead’s Jerry Garcia? The answer, it turns out, is one. The person who connects Benjamin Netanyahu directly to Jerry Garcia—and Shimon Peres to Jim Morrison, and, for that matter, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to Janis Joplin—is Sally Oren, the wife of Michael Oren, Israel’s ambassador to the United States.
Alan W. Dowd: Peace in His Mind—Obama slashes the military in the face of a hostile and violent world.
Dovid Efune: Chuck Hagel and the Jewish Leadership Crisis— Whichever way you look at it, Chuck Hagel is bad news. The fact that President Obama has resolved to force him onto the American public as his pet project, is worse news. That so many otherwise responsible and well intentioned representative groups now sit in silent complicity to this disaster-in-waiting is yet worse still.
Jonathan S. Tobin: Hagel’s Critics Are Still the Winners—With the defection of one more Republican from the ranks of those opposing the nomination of Chuck Hagel to be secretary of defense, it appears the saga of the battle to stop the Nebraskan from taking office is coming to a close. Alabama Senator Richard Shelby announced today that he would vote for Hagel when the nomination comes to the floor. Shelby’s support is yet another blow against the hopes that the 10-day delay caused by last week’s failed cloture vote would result in a game changing event that would sink the chances of Hagel’s confirmation. Of course, the fate of this struggle was probably already sealed last Sunday when Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham said they wouldn’t try to extend the filibuster when Congress reconvened next week. And if that left any doubt about the final outcome, it was removed when New York Democrat Chuck Schumer reconfirmed his support for Hagel with a speech that was as dishonest as it was morally dubious.
Adam Levick: George Galloway Boycotts 6 Million Jews— To those who don’t believe that BDS and other forms anti-Zionist agitation don’t often lead to racism, here’s a video posted today at the site of the Oxford University Student Union.
P. David Hornik: Jews Under Muslim Attack in Europe—And what it should tell Washington about Israel and the Middle East.
Shimon Shapira: Hizbullah and the Assassination of the Iranian General in Syria—Gen. Hassan Shateri, 58, of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps Quds Force (IRGC-QF), who was killed in Syria, was a senior Iranian representative in Lebanon, though he was not the IRGC commander in the country. That position is held by Hassan Mehadavi, also known by his Persian name, Mohammad Riza Zahadi. Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah noted that Shateri was not the first Iranian to be killed on a mission with Hizbullah, thereby confirming that Iranian military forces are involved in Hizbullah’s activity.
Patrick Clawson: Iran Is Just Too Dysfunctional to Cut a Nuclear Deal—By their actions, Iranian leaders are giving the strong impression that they are so preoccupied by their internal differences that they cannot agree on a damn thing. Disunity helps the enemy, Khamenei frequently says. But the world powers negotiating with Iran would be glad to see more unity in Tehran, because a more unified Iranian government would be better able to reach a deal and then implement it. That seems less and less likely. The time is rapidly approaching when the big powers, or at least the U.S., need to set out a stark choice for Iran’s leaders: Either accept a generous offer to resolve the nuclear impasse or be prepared for the consequences.
Robert Kagan and Michele Dunne: U.S. Needs to Show Egypt Some Tough Love—Egyptian President Morsi has yet to learn what it means to lead in a democratic society. His Muslim Brotherhood is Egypt’s strongest political force, but it does not command a majority of public support. It cannot simply force its will on the nation. Morsi can hardly take on urgent tasks, such as the cutting of wasteful fuel subsidies and the reformation of a corrupt interior ministry and police force, when much of the country is against him and ready to take to the streets at the least provocation.
Reuel Marc Gerecht and Mark Dubowitz: Is Iran Creating a Health Crisis to Evade Sanctions?—The Iranian government has claimed that U.S.-led pressure is causing shortages of medicines, powdered milk and other vital supplies. However, we do not believe that sanctions are threatening civilian lives. There are no sanctions against food or medicine imports to Iran. Iran’s growing medical problems have much more to do with the regime’s spending preferences and corruption than with sanctions.
Evelyn Gordon: PA: If We Won’t Talk with Israel, Nobody Else Should, Either—You couldn’t make this up: The Palestinian Authority is furious that Israel and Hamas are reportedly holding indirect talks in Cairo to firm up their cease-fire, because “only the PLO was authorized to conduct such negotiations in its capacity as the ‘sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people.’” Never mind that the PLO, aka the PA (both are headed by the same man, Mahmoud Abbas, and dominated by the same party, Fatah) has refused to hold talks with Israel for four years now; if Hamas had to wait for the PLO to discuss its pressing concerns with Israel, it might still be waiting when the Messiah comes. In the PA’s world, ordinary Palestinians’ real problems–of which residents of Hamas-run Gaza have plenty–always come a distant second to its own prestige. If it doesn’t feel like talking with Israel, then Gazans should just wait patiently until it does.
HonestReporting: Israel Made Me Beat My Wife—The Guardian looked at the status of women in Gaza and reported the following interview: “My husband used to make good money working in Israel…. When he can’t find any work and we have nothing to eat, he blames me….If he had a job, he wouldn’t beat me.”
David Gerstman: The Last Refuge of Anti-Israel Activists— The president then denounced the idea of elevating any group of nations above others–which takes care, I suppose, of the Security Council, the G-20, and the Western alliance. And just to make the point unmistakable, he denounced “alignments of nations rooted in the cleavages of a long-gone Cold War” as making “no sense in an interconnected world.” What does that say about NATO?
Jonathan S. Tobin: Obama’s Bad Brotherhood Bet—For the last few months, conservative critics of the Obama administration’s foreign policy have obsessed about its failure in Libya. The fiasco in Benghazi that took the lives of four Americans including our ambassador deserved more media scrutiny and Republicans are right to continue to demand answers about it. But the unfolding disaster next door in Egypt is a far greater indication of the way the president has blundered abroad than even that tragic episode. Obama’s decision to force the Egyptian military to accept a Muslim Brotherhood government in Cairo and Washington’s subsequent embrace of Mohamed Morsi’s regime has materially aided the descent of the most populous Arab country into the grip of an Islamist party. The Brotherhood regime is determined to extinguish any hope of liberalization in Egypt and its drive to seize total power there is a direct threat to regional stability and Middle East peace.
Raymond Ibrahim: Death for Preaching Christ in ‘Liberated’ Libya—Driving Christians into extinction.
Fred Gedrich: A New Strategy Needed on North Korea—It will take more than words of condemnation to bring the nuclear rogue state to heel.
Thomas A. Oakes: Hillary Clinton’s Middle East Legacy—Hillary Clinton fans continue to promote the false notion that she was a first-rate Secretary of State despite her four-year string of failures involving Russia, East Asia, and particularly the Middle East.
Roger L. Simon: The Wonderful World of John Kerry—We can assume that our new Secretary of State is not a science whiz. Nevertheless, Mr. Kerry is apparently certain that anthropogenic global warming is a great danger to the human race and should be the object of a major international effort. It is a dangerous moment we are at in our society when politicians attempt to make policy based on technological and scientific issues for which they have no discernible preparation or understanding.
Ed Driscoll: Then? Future Shock. Now: Effort Shock—To put it another way, “It’s nice to elect the right people, but that’s not the way you solve things. The way you solve things is by making it politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right things.”
Bridget Johnson: Pentagon on Furlough Notice as ‘Unengaged’ Obama Demands Tax Hikes—As President Obama has been focusing on the domestic side of looming mandatory sequestration cuts, warning of cuts to Head Start programs and food-safety inspections, the nation’s military readiness is on the line as the Pentagon braces for losing more than half a trillion dollars from its budget.
Bob Owens: Joe Biden’s Felony Self-Defense Advice—Biden doesn’t define what constitutes a “problem” to him, but the laws of each state, while they vary from one to another, generally only allow the use of a firearm to defend human life. Further, the threat must satisfy a test where a reasonable person would find the threat to be both life-threatening and immediate: 1) person defending themselves must be a “reasonable person”, 2) the threat has to be life-threatening, 3) the threat has to be immediate.
Craig Bannister: BarackObama.com: Give Us Your Gun Violence Stories—An e-mail from BarackObama.com invites people to share their gun violence stories and reasons for supporting stronger gun control measures.
Stephen Gutowski: What About Self-Defense Stories Involving Guns, Mr. President?— While BarackObama.com is asking people to submit their “stories about gun violence” and their reasons for supporting stronger gun control measures, other citizen websites boast thousands of gun self-defense success stories.
Joe Schoffstall: Campus Rape Victim: ‘I Was In A Safe Zone And My Attacker Didn’t Care’—NRA News Radio Host Cam Edwards interviewed Amanda Collins, a woman who was raped at the University of Nevada at gun point in a gun free zone.
Mark Davis: Embrace the Sequester—Something odd happened a few months ago as I weighed the various aspects of the dreaded Sequester Monster, a creature vilified across party lines.
Jonah Goldberg: Blame Game Rages on Over Looming Sequester—We are just days away from a cataclysm of biblical proportions. The cuts foretold in the Budget Control Act of 2011 are young as far as prophecies go, but apparently they are every bit as terrifying as rivers of blood and plagues of locusts.
Arnold Ahlert: Atlanta Public Schools Cheat Their Own Students—The nation’s largest test-rigging scandal highlights an ethos of corruption.
Daniel Pipes: Philadelphia’s Burqa Crisis—The more full-body coverings around, the more likely they will facilitate criminal activity.

Blessings in the Book of Revelation is a book that you need to read, especially now. There are blessings throughout the Scriptures but Revelation is the only book in the Bible actually containing a specific blessing for reading it. It’s repeated twice, once at the beginning and again at the end. This is the reason that I believe Revelation should be the first step toward studying biblical prophecy. Though not easy to do, Revelation can be broken down and understood by anyone, not just the academic elite. So, Revelation’s blessings are for everyone. Click here to order the eBook.
