Yoram Schweitzer and Benedetta Berti: Hizbollah: Once Again in the Eye of the Storm?— The past few weeks have not been easy for Hizbollah. On February 27, 2013 Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah appeared on the organization’s cable television station to refute claims regarding his presumed serious illness and subsequent hospitalization for urgent treatment in Iran. Around the same time, reports from the Syrian opposition claimed that Nasrallah’s deputy, Sheikh Naim Qassem, had been seriously wounded (or according to other reports, killed) in Syria. These apparently fabricated reports come at a dire time for the organization, and together with a number of domestic, regional, and international “complications,” help undermine the organization’s reputation.

Daniel 2: 25-30
Then Arioch hurriedly brought Daniel into the king’s presence and spoke to him as follows: “I have found a man among the exiles from Judah who can make the interpretation known to the king!” The king said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, “Are you able to make known to me the dream which I have seen and its interpretation?” Daniel answered before the king and said, “As for the mystery about which the king has inquired, neither wise men, conjurers, magicians nor diviners are able to declare it to the king. However, there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, and He has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will take place in the latter days. This was your dream and the visions in your mind while on your bed. As for you, O king, while on your bed your thoughts turned to what would take place in the future; and He who reveals mysteries has made known to you what will take place. But as for me, this mystery has not been revealed to me for any wisdom residing in me more than in any other living man, but for the purpose of making the interpretation known to the king, and that you may understand the thoughts of your mind.”

Richard Baehr: Party on — Obama is coming— After many trips to the Middle East since he became president, all of which avoided a stop in Israel, Obama seems ready for his photo op.
Ruthie Blum: Barak salutes Hagel— Rendering the new defense secretary kosher is a slap in the faces of all those true friends of Israel who campaigned day and night to block his confirmation.
Douglas Murray: When an Arab Kills an Arab It Is Not News— All the wars involving Israel, throughout its history, have caused at least 30,000 fewer deaths than have been caused in Syria in the last couple of years alone.
Arnold Ahlert: Hagel’s Afghanistan Visit and Obama’s Disastrous “Good War”—Mission accomplished: Thousands of American lives wasted for failure.
Thomas Sowell: Intellectuals and Race—There are so many fallacies about race that it would be hard to say which is the most ridiculous. However, one fallacy behind many other fallacies is the notion that there is something unusual about different races being unequally represented in various institutions, careers or at different income or achievement levels.
Bruce Thompson: Deepwater Horizon — Another Holder Coverup?—Is there anything that Eric Holder won’t hide from public view to advance the political interests of the Obama Administration?
Seth Mandel: The Misplaced Faith in Abbas—Ben Birnbaum’s thoughtful, well-reported piece on the Israeli peace process is one of those articles that can easily be interpreted as in accordance with anyone’s preexisting worldview: it’s a Rorschach. If you think Mahmoud Abbas is primarily responsible for the lack of peace, that will be confirmed by the description of Ehud Olmert practically begging him to take an incredibly generous deal and Abbas walking away. If you think Olmert is to blame for offering a peace plan on which he could not follow through simply to save his reputation as he prepared to leave office under a cloud of scandal and an approval rating close to zero, you will shake your head at the desperation he showed.
William Kilpatrick: Wise As Serpents?—The cancellation of Robert Spencer’s talk and Catholic naivete about Islam.
Roger L. Simon: Al Gore’s Digital Utopia—Al Gore was apparently the hot ticket at SXSW (South by Southwest) over the weekend. The website’s report on the colloquy concludes with a portentous statement from the former veep, which is getting a fair amount of play: “We need to move everything to the Internet as quickly as we possibly can. If we do that, the future will belong to a well-informed citizenry.” Let’s leave aside for a moment all our preconceptions about Gore and examine this Internet millennialism.
MP James Morris: History Will Never Forgive Us If We Allow Iran to Get Nuclear Weapons— Former Foreign Secretary Jack Straw, in his misguided commentary last week,on the latest instalment of negotiations with Iran, claims he has “never been complacent about a nuclear armed Iran“. Not only did Mr Straw fail to arrest Iranian progress towards such a dangerous outcome during his tenure, as shown by yet another round of Groundhog Day talks, but his whole argument suggests just such a dangerous complacency; a complacency which has afflicted the British foreign policy establishment for too long.
Timothy Gordon: Eugenics and the Closing of the Popular Mind—Yahoo offers a glimpse into the abyss: a peek into the blood-soaked crucible of befuddled popular opinion in the fifth decade of Roe v. Wade.
Jonathan S. Tobin: The French Face of Palestinian Propaganda—Israelis are repeatedly being told that their policies of self-defense against Palestinian terrorists and West Bank settlements have soured the world on them. According to this train of thought, Israel is unpopular because of what it does, not because of its existence. But the hatred for the Jewish state, particularly in what many of still think of as the enlightened continent of Europe, has gotten to the point where even the U.S. State Department has pronounced it as part of the engine of a “rising tide of anti-Semitism.” A prime example of how this works comes from the Paris suburb of Bezons where the ability of Palestinian propaganda to demonize Israel has sunk to new depths.
Joseph Puder: Assad Defies the Odds—Has the regime won the stalemate?
Oded Eran: Immediate Impact on the Middle East of U.S. Budget Sequestration—Sequestration in the U.S. budget is a process of across-the-board, mandated spending cuts to control the deficit. Immediate steps announced by the Secretary of Defense that impact on the Middle East include cutting by half the number of days at sea of ships in the area, and cutting the number of hours of flight operations by a quarter. One aircraft carrier, USS Harry S Truman, will not be deployed as planned in the Gulf. The Amphibious Ready Group, which previously took part in various activities, including against terrorism threats in Africa, will not be deployed in 2014.
Sam Sokol: Israeli Envoys Promote Anti-Incitement Accord at UN—Several current and former Israeli envoys convened a meeting of diplomats and UN officials at UN headquarters in New York at the end of February to propose an international convention for the prevention of incitement to terror, written by Alan Baker, a former ambassador to Canada and chief legal adviser at the Foreign Ministry. Dore Gold, a former Israeli UN ambassador and president of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, which organized the event, said he believed there was a global interest in “creating an international consensus and convention which would address the problem of incitement to terrorism.”
Khaled Abu Toameh: Palestinians Plan “Warm” Welcome for Obama—When U.S. President Barack Obama comes to the Middle East later this month, Palestinian activists are planning anti-U.S. demonstrations in Palestinian cities, particularly outside the place in Ramallah where Obama is scheduled to meet with PA President Mahmoud Abbas.
Matthew Vadum: Obama to Nominate Sharia Supporter, Illegal Immigrant Advocate as Labor Secretary—President Obama reportedly intends to nominate in-your-face radical leftist lawyer Thomas Perez as his next Secretary of Labor.
12th Herzliya Conference, Tommy Steiner: Middle East Wild Cards and Global Energy Security—Saudi Arabia’s oil industry and its primary oil facility in Abqaiq are vulnerable – a sophisticated attack on Abqaiq could lead to a severe environmental crisis on the ground and to a long-term malfunctioning of the facility.
12th Herzliya Conference, Maj. Gen. (res.) Danny Rothschild and Tommy Steiner: Israel in the Eye of Storms—at home and abroad—Both from an Israeli perspective and in face of the unprecedented regional challenges, US-Israel strategic relations are important, perhaps more than ever before. The Middle East political turmoil should have demonstrated Israel’s strategic value to the US and the West, but this has not been the case. One cannot escape the impression that the US considers Israel a strategic risk rather than a strategic asset, and fears that Israel’s possible measures could potentially lead the US into a strategic entrapment. The Government of Israel’s image in Europe and in the US is appalling, although the criticism unleashed against it is often either unsubstantiated or unjust.
Jeannie DeAngelis: Pretend-gun Fingers and Plop-Tarts—Is this why the Department of Education has bought a hundred million mancure kits?
Joshua Sinai: Al Qaeda Threat to U.S. Not Diminished, Data Indicates— Conventional wisdom holds that the threat to America posed by al Qaeda and its affiliates is greatly diminished compared to 9/11. Today, it is claimed, al Qaeda is less well organized, with many of its top leaders eliminated, and is so broken into geographically disparate franchises that it is unable to recruit, train, and deploy a specialized cell to carry out a comparable catastrophic attack against America. The fact that no al Qaeda terrorist attacks have been carried out in America over the last two years, while some 20 individuals have plotted to carry out attacks but were arrested and convicted during the pre-incident phases, is seen as evidence that this terrorist threat is decreasing domestically.
Jonathan Spyer: War over the Ruins— The Syrian civil war bursts its banks This week, 48 Syrian soldiers who were reported as having ‘sought refuge’ in Iraq were ambushed and killed on Iraqi soil. At least 9, and possibly as many as 19 Iraqi soldiers who were reported as being in escort of the convoy of Syrian defectors also died in the ambush.
Efraim Karsh: The Middle East’s real apartheid— In light of Israel Apartheid Week, which hit cities and campuses throughout the world recently, supporters of the Jewish state find it difficult to agree on the best response to this hate fest. Some suggest emphasizing Israel’s peacemaking efforts, others propose rebranding the country by highlighting its numerous achievements and success stories. Still others advocate reminding the world of “what Zionism is – a movement of Jewish national liberation – and what it isn’t – racist.” Each of these approaches has its merits yet none will do the trick.
Humberto Fontova: Mr. Hugo Chavez, You Were No Fidel Castro—In the pantheon of heroes for America’s leftist elite, Hugo was a pathetic D-lister.
Stella Paul: The Obama Credo—I believe that government should keep its “Hands off my body,” with the one exception of ObamaCare’s 160 new government agencies that control my medical care.
Roger Kimball: Where Your Money Goes—It’s tax time. Let’s explore what those fed and local “public servants” pull down in salaries and pensions.

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.
