Caroline Glick—Syria, Iran and the North Korean Model:
Did US President Barack Obama score a great victory for the United States by concluding a deal with Russia on Syria’s chemical weapons or has he caused irreparable harm to the US’s reputation and international position? By what standard can we judge his actions when the results will only be known next year? To summarize where things now stand, last Saturday US Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov concluded an agreement regarding Syria’s chemical weapons arsenal. The agreement requires Syria to provide full details on the size and locations of all of its chemical weapons by this Saturday. It requires international inspectors to go to Syria beginning in November, and to destroy or remove Syria’s chemical weapons from the country by June 2014.
Obama and Kerry have trumpeted the agreement as a great accomplishment. They say it could never have been concluded had the US not threatened to carry out “unbelievably small” punitive military strikes against the Syrian regime in response to its use of Sarin gas to massacre 1,400 civilians in the suburbs of Damascus on August 21.
And then there is the perception of an “Iran dividend” from the US-Russian deal. Just two days after last Saturday’s agreement, speculation mounted about a possible breakthrough in the six party negotiations with Iran regarding its illicit nuclear weapons program.
According to Der Spiegel, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani may consider closing down Iran’s illicit uranium enrichment facility at Fordo under IAEA supervision in exchange for the removal or weakening of economic sanctions against Iran’s oil exports and its central bank.

Zalman Shoval: Russia Is Back in the Region—Without minimizing the importance of the agreement to rid the Syrian regime of its chemical weapons arsenal or the American contribution to the deal, one gets the impression that the Kremlin was at the wheel. Perceptions, primarily in the Middle East, are sometimes more important than facts, and America in our region today looks like it is following; compared to Russia, which was able to dictate – and it does not matter that objectively the U.S. is much more powerful than Russia.
Clifford D. May: The Neo-Soviet man— Putin rides to the rescue! And if you believe that, there’s a bridge over the Neva River I’d like to sell you.
P. David Hornik: Rouhani Launches His ‘Charm Offensive’— It doesn’t take a genius to game the West. The West—and particularly its elite people who make or influence policy—wants to be gamed, to be convinced that there is never a need for military operations and one’s easy, luxurious life can continue undisturbed.
James Lewis: Dangerous Times: Does Putin want a Nuclear Suicide Cult Next Door?— When it comes to survival, nations act in their own interest. All talk about friendship and personal warmth between national leaders is pure fairy dust. That’s for the goo-goos, while political leaders need to deal with reality. That is why Russia, the United States, Israel, the Arab nations, and even Iran can become part of a new long-term truce, like the Egypt-Israel peace treaty between former enemies, for which Jimmy Carter took the credit.
Khaled Abu Toameh: Does Jordan Want Palestinians in Control of the Border?—PA President Mahmoud Abbas says that the Palestinians will not accept any Israeli presence along the border between a future Palestinian state and Jordan. But in a recent closed briefing, a high-ranking Jordanian security official responded: “May God forbid! We have repeatedly made it clear to the Israeli side that we will not agree to the presence of a third party at our border.” Their worst nightmare is that once the Palestinians are given control over the border, thousands of them from the future Palestinian state would pour into Jordan, strengthening the Palestinian majority already living there.
Khaled Abu Toameh: Jordan Says No to Hamas—Jordan’s King Abdullah has turned down a request from Hamas to re-open its offices in his country, according to informed sources in Amman. Qatar offered hundreds of millions of dollars in aid to Jordan in return for allowing Hamas to open offices in the kingdom. However, “King Abdullah turned down the Qatari offer,” the sources said.
David Pollock: Beyond Words: Causes, Consequences, and Cures for Palestinian Authority Hate Speech—Some top Israeli officials, and many ordinary Israelis, question the credibility of any agreement with Palestinian leaders who still pay tribute to terrorists on government-run television, deny Israel’s legitimacy, and claim all of Israel’s territory as their own. This time, Israeli-Palestinian peace talks must confront incitement and hate speech up front and head-on.
Anna Therese Day: Dining with Al-Qaeda—I sat down for dinner near Aleppo in northern Syria with four Western-educated, radical jihadists from Pakistan, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia, members of the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Shams (ISIS), an organization that has close ties to al-Qaeda. Each said he was eager for his turn to become a “martyr for the global jihad.” All were under 30 and Western-educated college graduates who spoke fluent English. They spoke fondly of their college days in Canada and the UK.
Israel Kasnett: Israel Wants Peace. Period—Israel wants peace. Period. The Jewish people have never held a desire to rule over others and this remains true today. The Oslo Accords were initially met with enthusiasm among the Israeli public. It quickly became clear, however, that PLO leader Yasser Arafat and the Palestinian people continued to seek the destruction of the Jewish state. Since 1967, when Israel became the ruling military authority over the West Bank, Gaza and Sinai, it has sought ways to arrive at a peaceful settlement with the Arab world. For this reason it has never entirely annexed any of these areas. In fact, in exchange for peace with Egypt, Israel gave up control of the entire Sinai.
Aviva and Shmuel Bar-Am: Gates to the city—Jerusalem’s Old City has been enclosed in strong, decorative walls since the 16th century — capped with crenellations, floored with machicolations, and fortified against marauders and crusaders.

Amos 1: 13-15
Thus says Yahweh, “For three transgressions of the sons of Ammon and for four I will not revoke its [punishment], because they ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead in order to enlarge their borders. So I will kindle a fire on the wall of Rabbah and it will consume her citadels amid war cries on the day of battle, and a storm on the day of tempest. Their king will go into exile, he and his princes together,” says Yahweh.

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.
