Times of Israel Staff—Israeli TV shows ‘Iranian missile’ that ‘can reach far beyond Europe’:

Iran has built a 27-meter-long missile, capable of delivering a warhead “far beyond Europe,” and placed it on a launch pad at a site close to Tehran, an Israeli television report said Wednesday, showing what it said were the first satellite images of the missile ever seen in the West.

It stressed that the missile could be used to launch spacecraft or satellites, but also to carry warheads.

The Channel 2 news report showed satellite imagery documenting what it said was Iran’s “very rapid progress” on long-range missile manufacture.

It showed one photograph of a site near Tehran, which it said the West had known about for two years, where Iran was working on engines for its long-range missiles.

It then showed a satellite photograph of a second site, nearby, which featured a launch pad, with the 27-meter missile on it — an Iranian missile “never seen before” by the West.

The missile is capable of taking a manned spacecraft or satellite into space, the TV report said.

SnyderTalk Comment: This should be a game changer.  Will it be?  I have serious doubts.

The West is still sleeping.  Western leaders think it’s just a nightmare, but it’s real.

Avi Issacharoff: For new Saudi king, overt Iranian hostility, covert Israeli contacts—Meet Salman bin Abdulaziz, the new king of Saudi Arabia. As heir to the throne, the 79-year-old was already the nation’s de-facto ruler in recent weeks, as his brother Abdullah’s condition worsened and prevented him from carrying out his royal duties. Most recently Salman served as defense minister, but he is best known in the kingdom as the governor of Riyadh province, a position he held for 40 years. He is one of the 45 sons of the kingdom’s founder, Abdulaziz Ibn Saud, and the sixth son to inherit the throne following the deaths of his predecessors. His brother Crown Prince Moqren, next in the line, is ten years younger. Salman also served as a secretary-general of sorts to the royal family – the man who was responsible for handling its affairs quietly and discretely, away from the media and the public.

AP and Times of Israel Staff: Kerry: Don’t blame Muslims for violent extremism—Violent extremists who are killing children and others in Iraq, Syria, Nigeria and other parts of the world may cite Islam as a justification, but the West should be careful about calling them Islamic radicals, US Secretary of State John Kerry warned Friday at the World Economic Forum in Davos. Speaking at the same forum a day earlier, Egypt’s President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi told the audience of opinion leaders that his religion needed a reboot to remove extremism from its midst. In a speech calling for a global effort against violent extremism, Kerry said it would be a mistake to link Islam to criminal conduct rooted in alienation, poverty, thrill-seeking and other factors. “We have to keep our heads,” Kerry said. “The biggest error we could make would be to blame Muslims for crimes…that their faith utterly rejects,” he added.

SnyderTalk Comment: Developments in the Middle East and Europe are strange beyond imagining.  Something really big is taking shape.  It’s out of our control, but the U.S. under Obama is singing the same old tune.

As for John Kerry, I don’t know what’s worse: saying it or believing it.  I know that Kerry is an idiot, but some of the people who believe him may not be.

Jethro Mullen: New Saudi King’s big challenges: Yemen, Iran and ISIS—King Salman of Saudi Arabia has inherited the throne from his older brother and with it a host of pressing challenges in a turbulent region. To the south, Yemen is in chaos. To the north, the militant group ISIS is wreaking havoc in Iraq and Syria. More broadly, Saudi Arabia remains locked in a regional cold war with Iran. Within the kingdom’s borders, Salman has to decide how to pace sensitive reforms while keeping a lid on extremism. And with reported health concerns of his own, he faces a headache over how to manage the monarchy’s long-term succession plan. The stakes are high in one of the leading regional powers in the Middle East and a key U.S. ally.

Lucas Powers: Saudi watchers pin their reform hopes on Mohammad bin Nayef—On Friday, the newly minted ruler of Saudi Arabia, Salman bin Abdul-Aziz Al Saud, announced the death of the late King Abdullah and named his heir during an address broadcast on state television. What has proven to be the most significant part of the speech, however, was something unexpected: King Salman named his nephew, the 55-year-old Mohammad bin Nayef — the country’s current counterterrorism chief and interior minister — as deputy crown prince, or second in line to the throne. Should he succeed, Nayef would be the first Saudi king that is not a son of the country’s founder and first monarch, Abdul-Aziz bin Saud, commonly known as Ibn Saud, who died in 1953.

Robert Fisk: King Abdullah’s friends in the West stayed loyal, but revolution is on the horizon in Saudi Arabia—Poor old Kingdom. And old is the only word you can use about Saudi Arabia, where monarchical brothers take precedence over sons. King Abdullah died at 90. He had outlived two other crown princes. His successor Salman is already 79 and cannot expect to survive much more than a decade. And at 69, the new Crown Prince Muqrin is no spring chicken. Can these old folk go on ruling one of the richest nations on earth without a revolution? And how long can our Western leaders go on stroking and purring and fawning over – and arming – these Croesus-like autocrats before they make themselves look as pitiful to their own electorates as they do to the Arabs who have to tolerate Saudi Arabia’s Wahhabi ethics – the most purist, anti-apostate extremism and a ruling family of thousands whose cult-like worship was founded by a violent 18th-century Muslim preacher. Remember the Taliban? Remember, for that matter, Osama bin Laden?

MidnightWatcher’s Blogspot: Saudi King Dies, Iran Sees Death As “Prophetic” Sign Preceding “Islamic Messiah” And Israel’s Destruction—According to many Shia Islamic scholars, “Abdullah’s death will mark the beginning of a chain of great events that will shock the world.” In 2011, an Iranian-produced documentary outlining Islamic end-times theology revealed how the Ayatollahs in Iran believed that the death of Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah would be a major sign preceding the imminent arrival of an Islamic “messiah” figure, known as the Mahdi, and the destruction of the State of Israel. Now that King Abdullah has died, expect to hear even more eschatological pronouncements out of Iran at any moment … along with efforts to press toward the fulfillment of their false Islamic “prophecies.” Stay tuned …

Fox News: ‘There will be a price’: Obama team reportedly fuming over Netanyahu visit—The Obama administration reportedly is fuming over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s plans to address Congress in March regarding the Iranian threat, with one unnamed official telling an Israeli newspaper he will pay “a price” for the snub. House Speaker John Boehner invited Netanyahu — and the Israeli leader accepted – without any involvement from the White House. In public, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest politely describes this as a “departure” from protocol. He also says the president will not meet with Netanyahu when he visits in early March, but has attributed that decision only to a desire not to influence Israel’s upcoming elections. But in private, Obama’s team is livid with the Israeli leader, according to Haaretz.

Samuel Westrop: The Muslim Brotherhood Inquiry: What’s Happening?— The British government will publish only the “principal findings” of an inquiry commissioned by the British government into the activities of the Muslim Brotherhood in Britain, according to a report in the Financial Times. Although the former head of the MI6, Sir Richard Dearlove, has described the Brotherhood as being, “at heart, a terrorist organization,” Brotherhood organizations in the UK have, nevertheless, long enjoyed the support of government ministers and taxpayers’ money. Previous media statements have indicated that the report written for the inquiry, first commissioned in April 2014, has since sparked a great deal of argument between government ministers and officials and has led to a lengthy delay.

Greg Botelho: What’s happening in the Middle East and why it matters—The Middle East has never been a simple place. Yet nowadays, this region is especially turbulent — with waves rocking several countries, so big that their effects are being felt worldwide, including the West. It’s not like this uneasiness is concentrated only in one country, or all for a common reason. There’s Islamic extremism, political turnover, faltering oil prices and, let’s not forget, age-old sectarian tensions that are contributing in different ways in different places to the tumult. Many countries in the region have issues, such as Egypt’s delicate political and human rights situation and Turkey’s dealing with the impact of the war raging right over its border in Syria. Still, a few stand out because of the unique — some might say intractable — challenges they face.

Alan M. Dershowitz: The Case Against the International Criminal Court Investigating Israel— In 2012, my friend and colleague, Luis Moreno Ocampo who was then the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court ruled correctly that “Palestine could not be recognized as a ‘State'”.  He now appears to agree with his successor’s conclusion that “Palestine could now join the Rome statute,” presumably as a state.  I respectfully disagree. How can an entity become a state, for purposes of joining the ICC, without boundaries?  The assumption seems to be that the pre-June 1967 armistice lines now constitute the de jure, if not the de facto, boundaries of the Palestinian state, despite the reality that even the Palestinian authority seems to understand that there will never be a return to those artificial boundaries.  If the Palestinian “state,” as accepted by the Rome statute, were to be defined by the pre-1967 truce lines, it would follow that the Western Wall and its plaza, Judaism’s most sacred area, is “occupied territory” and any Israeli who moved into that area would be a war criminal, as would Israeli leaders who allowed Israeli Jews to pray at this holy place.  The same would be true of Hebrew University, on Mt. Scopus, because its access road was captured by Jordan during Israel’s war of Independence and was thus not a de facto part of Israel before June of 1967.  Likewise with the Jewish quarter of Jerusalem, in which Jews have lived for thousands of years, but which was captured and viciously destroyed by Jordan during the 1948 war.

Al Arabiya News: Golan Attack “Colossal Failure” for Hizbullah, Analysts Say—The attack in Syria which killed senior Hizbullah figures and an Iranian general represented a major breach to Hizbullah’s security and a tactical misjudgment on its part, analysts said. Wehbe Katicha, a former Lebanese army general, said, “This was a colossal failure… because they [Hizbullah] put this number of senior figures in one spot and at the same observation point and at the same time.” He added, “I think Hizbullah has no interest in launching a response from Lebanese soil because it knows this will lead to a catastrophe in Lebanon.” Dr. Haytham Mouzahem, director of the Beirut Center for Middle East Studies, said that Israel likely believes Hizbullah is training members for an attack on the Golan Heights and this latest operation was a preemptive attempt at thwarting future attacks.

Khaled Abu Toameh: Islamic State Deepens Grip in Future Palestine— According to Israeli security forces, dozens of Hamas and Islamic Jihad members in the West Bank have defected to the Islamic State in recent months. Their main goal, according to sources, is to topple the Palestinian Authority and launch terror attacks on Israel. Some 200 supporters of the Islamic State, who held up Islamic State flags, took to the streets of Gaza City to protest the latest cartoons published by the French satirical magazine, Charlie Hebdo. They also chanted slogans that called for slaughtering French nationals, and burned French flags. Attempts by Hamas to impose a news blackout on the protest failed, as photos and videos found their way to social media. The glorification of terrorists and jihadists by the Palestinian Authority, and the ongoing anti-Israel incitement by both Hamas and the Palestinian Authority, is driving many Palestinians into the open arms of the Islamic State.

Natasha Zaretsky: Something Is Rotten in Argentina— On Sunday night, Alberto Nisman, the federal prosecutor leading the investigation of the 1994 bombing of the AMIA (the Argentine Jewish Mutual Aid Society) in Buenos Aires was discovered dead from a gunshot wound to his head, alone in his bathroom, hours before he was to present controversial findings before a Congressional Committee. The July 18, 1994, attack killed 85 people and wounded hundreds, also destroying the principal Jewish community center in Argentina, home to the largest Jewish population in Latin America. Though this was the most significant terrorist attack in Argentine history, it remains unsolved after 20 years of problematic investigations and judicial efforts. In the years after the bombing, Iran and Hezbollah were suspected of having responsibility for the attack, though they denied any involvement. An official investigation took place, resulting in a trial that concluded in 2004 without any convictions. Because of the advocacy work of the group Memoria Activa (Active Memory), the Interamerican Commission for Human Rights declared in 2005 that Argentina failed to provide justice in the AMIA case.

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.
