Guy Millière—After Geneva, “The Islamic Bomb”:

On the day when the “interim agreements” were ratified in Geneva, November 24 2013, the Iranian Foreign Affairs Minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, was photographed smiling. He had good reason to be pleased; not since the Munich Agreement in 1938 have Western leaders given so much for so little. As Bret Stephens wrote in the Wall Street Journal, Western leaders in Geneva behaved even more disgracefully than those who had come to Munich.

In Munich, only two Western politicians were present, Chamberlain and Daladier; the United States was not involved. In the photographs then, all the participants looked concerned.

After Munich, Winston Churchill delivered the famous phrase: “You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor and you will have war”. After Geneva, Israel’s Prime Minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, was the only leader expressing disagreement. He spoke of a “historic mistake”. Diplomatically, he could not speak of dishonor, although dishonor was plainly evident. And he could use the word “betrayal.”

In Munich, the big, unspoken item in the room was the persecution of the Jews in Europe. Although Chamberlain and Daladier knew everything about the proliferation of anti-Semitic acts and decisions since Adolf Hitler came to power, they may have thought they were in a weak position, and did not really care about the Jews. They practiced willful blindness. Hitler noticed — and Kristallnacht soon followed less than six weeks later in Germany: a night in which over 91 Jews were murdered and 30,000 were arrested and sent to concentration camps, Jewish homes, businesses, hospitals, and schools were ransacked, and over 1,000 synagogues were burned.

In Geneva, the big, unspoken item in the room was Israel. Laurent Fabius , Guido Westerwelle, Catherine Ashton and John Kerry knew everything about the calls for destroying Israel uttered for decades ​​by Iranian leaders. They were in a position of strength, but evidently did not care about Israel. They practiced willful blindness. Mohammad Javad Zarif noticed. Ali Khamenei in Tehran also noticed. No Kristallnacht has been perpetrated against Israel — yet.

Raymond Ibrahim: Slaughter of Christian Women and Children in Muslim Lands— Two of the most tragic Islamic attacks on Christians, killing several women and children, took place in the month of October, one in Syria another in Egypt. On October 21 in Syria, the U.S.-supported Islamic rebels invaded and occupied the ancient Christian settlement of Sadad for over a week, till ousted by the military.  During that week, “the largest massacre of Christians in Syria,” in the words of Orthodox Archbishop Alnemeh, took place.  Among other things, 45 Christians—including women and children—were killed, several tortured to death; mass graves were discovered; all of Sadad’s 14 churches, some ancient, were ransacked and destroyed; the bodies of six people from one family, ranging from ages 16 to 90, were found buried at the bottom of a well (an increasingly common fate for “subhuman” Christians).

Divest This: How the ASA Became the RASA (Racist American Studies Association)— In contrast to communities like the Presbyterians or Food Coop world, which I never knew much about before helping them fight off the BDS infection, I actually have friends and family members who have a connection to the field of American Studies, some of whom are or were American Studies Association (ASA) members.  Most of them left years ago when the organization started practicing the kind of politicized scholarship that ultimately led to the victory of politics over scholarship, which culminated in this week’s boycott abomination.‎ As with any BDS debate, many questions regarding why a boycott was being directed at one country and one country only were met with well-rehearsed answers that never got to the real reason why the ASA was ready to abandon the principle of academic freedom in order to punish Israel and Israel alone.

Robert Singer: Cooperation is the Path to Peace, Not BDS— Two recent news stories point out the sheer irrationality of some European governments’ and companies’ moves to restrict business with Israeli companies or projects that operate in the West Bank.‎ On December 9, Israel, Jordan, and the Palestinian Authority signed a tripartite agreement to swap and share water from the Red Sea and the Sea of Galilee, including the building of a desalination plant near Aqaba, Jordan, to turn salty Red Sea water to fresh water.‎

David Greenberg: The ASA’s Boycott of Israel Is Not as Troubling as It Seems—It has been a while since the American Studies Association commanded wide respect as a heavyweight professional organization, and its politics are no bellwether of prevailing ideas in higher education. Like the high-school delinquents who from time to time spray swastikas on a Long Island synagogue wall, occasioning transient alarm and winding up on the local news, the ASA boycott ringleaders are by and large a fringe of malcontents – thugs with credentials, vandals in tweed.

Michael Young: Hizbullah Is Caught in an Al-Qaeda Vise—In the car bomb in the Bekaa Valley, near the village of Sbouba, a large quantity of explosives was used and the blast occurred near a Hizbullah base, which must have been under observation for some time. This indicated a level of professionalism similar to the one evident in the bombings at the Iranian Embassy in October. Such operations are taking place in a wider context of al-Qaeda’s reaffirming itself regionally, especially in a swathe of territory stretching from Iraq to Syria and now extending increasingly to Lebanon. Hizbullah now finds itself transformed into cannon fodder in a battle against al-Qaeda, when its initial goal was merely to defend Assad rule.

Avi Jorisch: The Unique Tragedy of the Palestinian Refugees—The Palestinian refugees have an emotional hold in the Muslim world unlike any other refugee group. Yet by any measure, the scale of the Palestinian refugee problem is dwarfed by numerous other refugee events. Most were forgotten because after one generation, or two at most, the refugees were integrated into other countries. But the Palestinian problem is unique because it has lasted for generations. Imagine if the Palestinians had been allowed to integrate into neighboring Arab countries – often less than 20 miles away from their original homes? But the Arab League has instructed Arab states to deny citizenship to Palestinian refugees and their descendants. The result is that six decades later, Palestinians languish in camps throughout Lebanon, Jordan and Syria – instead of becoming productive citizens, as they have in other countries where they have emigrated.

Jeffrey White: The Syrian Regime’s Military Solution to the War—A regime victory is possible in Syria. The outlines of a regime strategy for winning the war are visible. This strategy hinges on the staying power of the regime and its allies, the generation of adequate forces, operational success, and continued divisions within rebel forces. The regime fights its war under broad strategic principles. The first entails using whatever level of violence it believes is necessary to defeat the armed opposition and break the will of its civilian supporters. After seizing an area formerly under rebel control, the regime engages in reprisal attacks on area civilians: executions, looting, the burning of homes and businesses.

Kevin Connolly: Arab Spring: Unpredicted Outcomes—The royal families in Jordan, Morocco and the Gulf have had a pretty good Arab Spring so far – rather better than some of them might have feared. America is still a superpower, but it doesn’t dictate events in the Middle East anymore. The speed with which protests against authoritarian government morphed into a vicious civil war with sectarian overtones between Sunni and Shia Muslims in Syria has shocked everyone. The people of Iraqi Kurdistan are starting to look like winners. They live in a region which has oil and is developing independent economic links with its powerful neighbor, Turkey. The property market in Dubai has spiked as wealthy individuals from destabilized countries like Egypt, Libya, Syria and Tunisia seek a safe haven for their cash – and sometimes their families.

Wesley Pruden: The Last Living Witnesses to Nazi Terror—An exhibit of photographs of the Nazi era, with the faces of human evil, is on view now in the shadow of the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin. The Topography of Terror, a museum of the Hitler time built at what was once the most feared address in Berlin, the headquarters of the Gestapo, is one of the most popular sites with visitors to Germany. So, too, the Jewish Museum, with its history of the Jews. But none work with more dedication and enthusiasm for keeping the dark memories alive than a dwindling group of survivors of Hitler’s death camps, some of them well into their 90s. A prisoner who was 20 when Auschwitz, Treblinka, Bergen-Belsen and other death camps were liberated in 1945 would be 88 now. Very few prisoners survived the relentlessly efficient Nazi killing machine. Of 67 who survived at Treblinka, where 850,000 prisoners, nearly all Jews, were slain, only two survivors are alive today. Of the 250,000 scheduled for execution at Sobibor, only 50 survived and only four remain. Seven of the doomed 165,000 at Chelmo survived, but are no longer alive. Two of the 500,000 scheduled for extermination at Belzec survived, but none remains alive today.

Daniel Greenfield: Egypt Buries the Brotherhood— It’s not unusual for the United States and a Muslim country to be on the opposite sides of the War on Terror. It is unusual for a Muslim country to take a stand against terrorism while the United States backs the right of a terrorist group to burn churches, torture opposition members and maintain control of a country with its own nuclear program. But that’s the strange situation in what Egypt’s public prosecutor has declared “the biggest case of conspiracy in the country’s history.”

4--Scripture of the Day Yahweh

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.

Nahum 2: 5-8

He remembers his nobles; they stumble in their march, they hurry to her wall, and the mantelet is set up. The gates of the rivers are opened and the palace is dissolved. It is fixed: she is stripped, she is carried away, and her handmaids are moaning like the sound of doves, beating on their breasts. Though Nineveh [was] like a pool of water throughout her days, now they are fleeing; “Stop, stop,” But no one turns back.

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.

  • Falsely Accused is a true story about a young woman who was accused of committing a double homicide.  It’s about a travesty of justice, and it reveals Yahweh intervening in the life of a believer to rescue her from danger in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.  Everyone will enjoy the book, but young people in particular need to read it because the mistakes made that led to the problem could have been avoided.  They were the kinds of mistakes that young people are prone to make.  As they say, forewarned is forearmed.  Click here to order the eBook.  Click here to order the paperback.
