Senator Robert Menendez—Iran’s Record of Deception:

We all aspire for a diplomatic resolution resulting in a peaceful and verifiable termination of Iran’s nuclear weapons program.

The stated will of the global community, expressed in multiple United Nations Security Council resolutions, includes requirements for Iran to cease its enrichment activities, limit its capabilities to those consistent with a peaceful nuclear program, and fully open up all sites to international inspections.

This is the international position, a view the United States Congress shares. But we cannot substitute wild-eyed hope for clear-eyed pragmatism given Iran’s record of deception.

A so-called Iranian charm offensive is simultaneously matched by an actual offensive to cross the nuclear weapons threshold.

It is incompatible for Iran to pursue true diplomacy while installing any new centrifuges, including advanced centrifuge technology, and developing a heavy water reactor in Arak in defiance of the international community, most vocally this weekend by France.

[…]

The P5+1 powers (U.S., Russia, China, United Kingdom, France and Germany) are appropriately pursuing a diplomatic course, which Congress supports. But Congress is also appropriately pursuing sanctions that the P5+1 powers have long supported, letting the Iranians know what awaits if it continues its to-date unabated pursuit of a nuclear weapons capability.

13--Perspectives 2

Frederick Forsyth: So Exactly How Did Yasser Arafat Get So Rich?—I have seen acres of breast-beating journalism about Palestinian misery but never an examination into where all the donated money has gone over the years. For this is certain: Arab donors and a generous non-Arab world have donated many billions to the Palestinian cause. For example, since the founding of Israel in 1948 literally billions of pounds have been donated to help Gaza’s people have a decent life.

Herb Keinon: Poll: Israeli Public Backs Netanyahu in Dispute with U.S. over Iran—According to an Israel Radio poll reported on Thursday, 40% of the Israeli public believes Prime Minister Netanyahu’s criticism of U.S. policy on Iran was both justified and in the right measure. Another 22% feel the criticism was legitimate but exaggerated, while only 9% said the criticism was not justified. 55% said Israel could not count on the U.S. to worry about its security concerns in the negotiations with the Iranians, while 31% said Israel could rely on the U.S.

Josef Federman: A Year after the Gaza Operation—A year after a bruising Israeli offensive in Gaza, southern Israel has sprung back to life, and the frequent rocket fire that once plagued the region has nearly stopped after Hamas agreed to stop rocket fire against Israel. “We are still living on a hostile border,” said Chaim Yelin, head of the Eshkol regional council, which straddles the border with Gaza. Just a few kilometers away, thousands of Hamas security men staged a massive military parade in Gaza in a powerful show of strength. Israel launched its offensive on Nov. 14, 2012, responding to an upsurge in rocket fire from Hamas-controlled Gaza. The operation began with an airstrike that killed Hamas’ military leader, Ahmad Jabari. Eight days of intense fighting ensued in which Israel carried out some 1,500 airstrikes and Hamas and other armed groups fired a similar number of rockets into Israel. Some 161 Palestinians and 5 Israelis were killed before an Egyptian-brokered cease-fire took hold.

Ron Ben-Yishai: A New Wave of Palestinian Violence—The murder of IDF soldier Eden Atias in Afula on Wednesday is part of a wave of Palestinian violence that has been increasing since the summer. This is not mass violence but rather a new phenomenon whose characteristics and motives must be understood in order to form a response. The most common and widespread part of this phenomenon is what the Palestinians refer to as “popular resistance” – especially hurling rocks and firebombs, mainly at Israeli residents of the West Bank. The second part of this phenomenon – the one which saw the murder of Eden Atias – involves acts of murder carried out by individuals driven by nationalistic and emotional motives.

Patrick Clawson and Mehdi Khalaji: Will Geneva Accord Facilitate Iranian Regional Hegemony?—Israel has good reason to worry that the economic sanctions will be eased, reducing the pressure on Iran such that whatever the West presents as the first temporary step is never followed by another step, meaning that Tehran never accepts more limits on its nuclear program. Saudi Arabia has equally solid grounds to worry that, in return for a nuclear deal, Iran would get a free hand to pursue its hegemonic agenda in the region and consolidate its influence in Syria and Iraq. And Iranian democrats are right to fear that any accord with the West would herald renewed vigor for the Islamic Republic.

Meir Javedanfar: For France, Arak Is a Deal Killer—As important as trying to reach a negotiated settlement with Iran is, it is as important if not more important that such a deal creates confidence on both sides. Building the Arak heavy-water reactor, which could produce plutonium to make a bomb, while the talks continue, fails to create confidence; it does the opposite. It creates the impression that Iran is interested in maintaining the option of making a bomb. The Iranian regime has not allowed the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to visit the site since 2011. The demand for a halt of construction of Arak is fair and logical. Iran believes that imposing new sanctions during talks undermines them and hurts confidence. So does building of a reactor that could produce bomb-making plutonium.

Globe and Mail-Canada Editorial: No Natural Right to Enrich Uranium—Mohammed Javad Zarif, the Iranian Foreign Minister, rejected the proposed agreement in Geneva because it did not grant to Iran a “right” to enrich uranium. There can be no inherent or natural right to enrich uranium. Iran is a party to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and is in violation of it. Although the treaty does say that the parties have an inalienable right to develop nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, that passage is unmistakably set inside the framework of the treaty as a whole. And that treaty is about restricting the spread of nuclear weapons. The NPT requires the parties to enter into agreements with the International Atomic Energy Agency to establish safeguards and provide verification that they are in compliance. Iran’s unwillingness to provide anything approaching adequate verification makes it eminently suspect. Consequently, the country is not allowed to keep enriching uranium or plutonium.

Chuck Freilich: Iran: Deal in the Making, or Persian Carpet Ride?—The best estimates today put Iran as little as two months from having enough highly enriched uranium for a bomb, but it is clear to all that Iran is almost there and disagreement is about months, not years. A diplomatic deal is clearly preferable for all sides, none more than Israel, which will be left with only two options should the negotiations fail: living with a nuclear Iran through a policy of deterrence, or a military strike, neither of which is a particularly attractive alternative. It is far from clear that Israel would be willing to accept the first option, even as part of a broader American strategy of deterrence and containment, and a military strike will likely achieve no more than a two to three year postponement of the Iranian program; Iran already has the technology and the various installations could be rebuilt within this period of time.

Yaakov Lappin: Israel vs. the Iran-Hizbullah Axis—In southern Lebanon and the Beka’a Valley in eastern Lebanon, Hizbullah is pointing over 80,000 rockets and missiles at Israel, representing a new level of threat to the Israeli home front. The scale of Hizbullah’s offensive arsenal has been made possible by Iranian funding, arms shipments, and use of Syria as a transit route. In Israel, a military response to this challenge is being prepared, designed to quickly deliver a devastating knock-out blow to Hizbullah. The IDF plans to implement a combination of unprecedented air power capabilities and a swift ground maneuver to eliminate Hizbullah as a fighting force for years to come. This approach is predicated on new intelligence resources, and an air force strike power – which has not yet been used to full capacity – that enables fighter jets to destroy hundreds of targets a day with precision-guided bombs.

Nelson Wyatt: Canada’s Greatest World War 2 Air Ace Also Hailed as Hero in Israel—Flight Lt. George (Buzz) Beurling, Canada’s deadliest air ace in the Second World War, earned the nickname “the Falcon of Malta” after his eagle eyes and quick trigger finger sent a record number of attacking German and Italian pilots spinning to the ground in flames. Hailed in Canada for racking up 31 aerial dogfight kills, he’s also a hero in Israel after signing up to fight in that country’s 1948 War of Independence. In 1948 he was sought out by the Arabs, who offered him large amounts of money to train their pilots, but he turned them down because his sympathies lay with Israel, though he was not Jewish. The Israelis were reluctant to take him on, however, because he had been approached by the Arabs.

The scripture below is from the New American Standard Bible, and the hyperlinks associated with each word are from Strong’s Concordance for the New American Standard Bible.

Jonah 2: 7-10

“While I was fainting away, I remembered Yahweh, and my prayer came to You, into Your holy temple. Those who regard vain idols forsake their faithfulness, but I will sacrifice to You with the voice of thanksgiving. That which I have vowed I will pay. Salvation is from Yahweh.” Then Yahweh commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah up onto the dry land.

14--Blessings from Revelation 2

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.  Click here to order the paperback.
