F.M. Loewenberg—Did Jews Abandon the Temple Mount?:
The claim that no Jewish temple ever existed in Jerusalem and that Jews have no rights whatsoever on the Temple Mount is part of the “temple denial” doctrine that has been increasingly internalized in Palestinian academic, religious, and political circles since the 1967 Six-Day War. Others, both Jews and non-Jews, believe that a temple did exist but indicate that the Jews abandoned the area soon after the destruction of the Second Temple nearly two thousand years ago. From that time onward, Jews lost all direct contact with the Temple Mount and relocated their central worship site to other locations, such as the Mount of Olives and later the Western Wall.
The facts do not support either of these claims. The destruction of the Second Temple in the year 70 C.E. did not spell the end of Jewish activities on the Temple Mount. For many centuries, Jews continued their attachment to the site by maintaining a physical presence on the mountain. And when they were prevented from doing so, they prayed three times a day for the speedy renewal of the sacrificial service in a restored temple.

Yoram Hazony: The Christian Alternative Resurrected: Why Can’t Jews Do That?— If you’re going to read one article about Christianity this year, it should be Nathan Schneider’s “The New Theist” in this week’s Chronicle of Higher Education. This is a great piece of reportage, examining one of the most important developments on the battlefield of ideas in our time: The rapid rise of Christianity–and I mean serious Christianity–as a legitimate and academically reputable worldview in classrooms at America’s leading mainstream universities.
Amitai Etzioni: Road to Damascus Runs Through Tehran—The best way to deal with Iran’s various attempts to dominate the Middle East is not to face it indirectly in one arena after another, but to go after the mainland. If Iran were defanged, Hizbullah’s military arm would soon run out of funds and top-of-the-line weapons, and it would lose its capacity to checkmate other Lebanese parties and forces.
David M. Weinberg: Gotta love that European Union— Old habits, it seems, die hard. European countries have a knack for restricting Jews to specific pales of settlement.
Dore Gold: The US and the Muslim Brotherhood— It is too early to know whether Morsi’s downfall will put to rest the dangerously naive view that the Muslim Brotherhood has become moderate.
Irwin Cotler: Why Hizbullah Is a Terrorist Organization—In an eerie coincidence, the terrorist bombing of a tourist bus in Bulgaria, attributed by Bulgarian authorities to Hizbullah, took place on the 18th anniversary of the bombing of the Jewish Cultural Center (AMIA) in Buenos Aires in 1994. Argentinean Special Prosecutor Alberto Nisman’s exhaustive 800-page report on the AMIA bombing exposed how the terrorist bombing was conceived, planned and ordered by the highest echelons in the Iranian government, with Hizbullah carrying out the central role in the AMIA attack as the “terrorist proxy of the Iranian regime.”
Dan Margalit: First the settlements, then Netanya?— The precedent set by the EU’s decision to boycott settlements is dangerous, and harbors the possibility that Europe may decide that even this is insufficient and sanctions should be expanded to include cities in central Israel.
David Albright and Christina Walrond: Iran’s Critical Capability in 2014: Verifiably Stopping Iran from Increasing the Number and Quality of its Centrifuges—Iran is expected to achieve a critical capability in mid-2014, which is defined as the technical capability to produce sufficient weapon-grade uranium from its safeguarded stocks of low-enriched uranium for a nuclear explosive, without being detected. Iran would achieve this capability principally by implementing its existing, firm plans to install thousands more IR-1 centrifuges, and perhaps a few thousand IR-2m centrifuges, at its declared Natanz and Fordow centrifuge sites. Iran’s criticality date could be achieved a few months earlier, if Iran successfully deploys and operates several thousand advanced centrifuges and continues installing thousands of IR-1 centrifuges.
David Ignatius: Recapturing the Arab Muslim World’s Golden Age—Hisham Melhem, a prominent Lebanese journalist, visited the Great Mosque of Cordoba in southern Spain last May, where he found himself wondering how the Arab Muslim genius of a thousand years ago had veered in modern times toward such chaos and repression. He focused on the openness and tolerance of the Moorish kings of Andalusia, where not only Muslims but Jews and Christians prospered as well. He wrote in an-Nahar: “Today’s Middle Eastern Muslims, with their narrow sectarian awareness, appear extremely far from the humane sources that under Islam made them the second civilization after the great Romans.”
Mollie Adatto: To Ramallah and Back: A Student’s Take on Israeli Security—This past month, I went on a trip to Ramallah with J Street. After we passed through a checkpoint, some students said they believed these checkpoints were unnecessary and caused emotional harm to the Palestinians. I said that I am extremely grateful for these checkpoints which ensure my safety and the safety of every Israeli. In Ramallah, I noticed how modern and beautiful the city was, as we drove past sushi restaurants and five-star hotels.
JP O’Malley: Mario Levi is a wondering Turkish Jew—LONDON — In the prologue to “Istanbul Was a Fairy Tale” Mario Levi describes his longing for a sense of identity as a Jewish writer: “After all I was a wandering Jew whose aim it was to give birth to a land of his own, to discover it and live in it. Just like any other Jew, I was a stateless person.” Beginning my conversation with the Turkish writer, I ask him if he always felt a sense of estrangement as a Jew who was raised in Turkey. “Yes, that is definitely my feeling.”

“For they have gone up to Assyria, like a wild donkey all alone; Ephraim has hired lovers. Even though they hire allies among the nations, now I will gather them up; and they will begin to diminish because of the burden of the king of princes.”

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.
