Elhanan Miller—Fearful of becoming ‘Palestine,’ Jordan chimes in on peace talks:
Jordan will not recognize Israel as a Jewish state, the Kingdom’s foreign minister declared, expressing a latent Hashemite fear of Jordan becoming the de-facto Palestinian state.
“Whoever thinks Jordan will become someone’s alternative state is delusional,” Nasser Judeh told members of parliament Sunday evening during an update session on the peace process and the recent visit of US Secretary of State John Kerry to Jordan.
“With regards to the rumors surrounding the Jewish state, Jordan’s consistent position — aligned in this regard with the Palestinian position — is that this formula and this proposal is unacceptable,” Judeh was quoted by the official Petra News Agency as saying. He was apparently referring to reports that Kerry’s framework proposal will provide for recognition of Israel as the Jewish state.
Judeh’s detailed speech — outlining seven Jordanian principles regarding the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, ahead of the framework agreement — was the most comprehensive public articulation of the Jordanian position to date.

Joel B. Pollak: Israeli Leaders Slam Kerry—Again—U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is once again the target of criticism, direct and indirect, by Israeli leaders after he suggested that Israel could face “delegitimization” and “boycott” campaigns without a peace deal with the Palestinians.
Herb Keinon: Ya’alon: Let’s Not Delude Ourselves Regarding Abbas’ Intentions—The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not a dispute over territory, but over the Palestinian refusal to accept Israel as a Jewish state and to declare an end to the conflict, Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon told the Munich Security Conference in Germany on Sunday. “The core of the conflict is not territory which was liberated or occupied or taken in ’67,” he said. “The conflict started early on since the dawn of Zionism, and unfortunately I don’t see a leadership on the Palestinian side that is ready to say that if we reach a compromise on territory it would be the end of claims.”
Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs: Erekat Is Wrong: The Jewish Presence in the Land Dates Back for Millennia—Chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat claimed on Jan. 31 that the Palestinians cannot accept Israel as the Jewish state because they lived in the region long before the Jews. Erekat was promoting the well-known Palestinian narrative that they are the native population, while the Jews are latecomers who only arrived in the last hundred years. Since the Muslim Arab conquest of Palestine occurred only in 634CE, the credibility of this Palestinian claim is questionable, to say the least.
Israeli Prime Minister’s Office: Netanyahu: Israel Boycott Moves Immoral, Damage Peace—Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the Cabinet on Sunday: “Attempts to impose a boycott on the State of Israel are immoral and unjust. Moreover, they will not achieve their goal. First, they cause the Palestinians to adhere to their intransigent positions and thus push peace further away. Second, no pressure will cause me to concede the vital interests of the State of Israel, especially the security of Israel’s citizens. For both of these reasons, threats to boycott the State of Israel will not achieve their goal.”
Muath Freij: Jordanians, Palestinians Voice Rejection of Kerry’s Peace Plans—Jordanians and Palestinians on Saturday voiced their rejection of U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry’s proposed “framework” for a final peace deal between Palestine and Israel. Zaki Bani Rsheid, deputy leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, said Kerry has a dangerous political agenda that will harm the Palestinian cause. Ziad Masri noted that Palestinians are fully aware of the conspiracy against them, while Saeed Jameel said there should be no compromises on the right of return.
Washington Post Editorial: Syria Must Stop Stalling on its Delivery of Chemical Weapons—In practice, the landmark effort to destroy Syria’s entire stockpile of dangerous chemical weapons has stalled. Syria has failed to fulfill its part of the deal, moving only 4% of the chemicals to the port at Latakia. Assad is, in effect, slow-walking the chemicals in order to obtain more security equipment. U.S. Ambassador Robert P. Mikulak said that Syria has demanded “armored jackets for shipping containers, electronic countermeasures, and detectors for improvised explosive devices.” Mikulak added that the demands are “without merit.” Assad’s gambit is unacceptable. The chemical weapons removal was the direct outgrowth of the use of poison gas to kill more than 1,400 people last year, including women and children. It appears that Assad is playing games. This cannot be tolerated.
Walter Russell Mead: Chemical Weapons Fiasco in Syria—Assad lied to Colin Powell when he asked Syria to stop stealing oil from Iraq in 2003. He lied about stopping militants traveling through Syrian territory to kill Americans in Iraq. He lied about clamping down on Palestinian insurgents based in Syria. And he lied about the al-Kibar nuclear facility that Israel destroyed in 2007. Now he’s telling the truth about how much chemical weapons materiel he has? Right…
David Schenker: Syria Cheats—There is good reason to believe that Syria will cheat on its agreement with the UN to fully dispose of its chemical weapons arsenal. When it comes to keeping international obligations, Syria’s Bashar Assad regime seldom keeps its promises.
Zvi Magen: The Sochi-Kiev-Geneva Connection: Russian Challenges and Objectives in the International Arena— There is currently much international activity in three particular cities: Sochi, where the winter Olympic Games are soon to begin; Kiev, the Ukrainian capital, plagued by anti-government protests; and Geneva (Montreux), the site of the international conference underway on the crisis in Syria. Ostensibly the three cities have little in common – the timing of the events is completely coincidental – but in fact they share certain elements that are important to Russia’s interests. A closer look reveals how the three are linked at the level of both Russia’s current objectives and the challenges facing it in the international arena, particularly the Middle East. More specifically, the events in the cities show how Russia feels threatened, and in response, initiates defensive moves against the forces endangering its security and geopolitical interests.
Jeff Stein: CIA Helped Saudis in Secret Chinese Missile Deal— Saudi Arabia has long been a backroom player in the Middle East’s nuclear game of thrones, apparently content to bankroll the ambitions of Pakistan and Iraq (under Saddam Hussein) to counter the rise of its mortal enemy, Iran. But as the West and Iran have moved closer to a nuclear accommodation, signs are emerging that the monarchy is ready to give the world a peek at a new missile strike force of its own – which has been upgraded with Washington’s careful connivance.

Zechariah 1: 7-11
On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of Yahweh came to Zechariah the prophet, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, as follows: I saw at night, and behold, a man was riding on a red horse, and he was standing among the myrtle trees which were in the ravine, with red, sorrel and white horses behind him. Then I said, “My lord, what are these?” And the angel who was speaking with me said to me, “I will show you what these are.” And the man who was standing among the myrtle trees answered and said, “These are those whom Yahweh has sent to patrol the earth.” So they answered the angel of Yahweh who was standing among the myrtle trees and said, “We have patrolled the earth, and behold, all the earth is peaceful and quiet.”

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.
