Preservation of Holy Sites 
Jodie Anderson 
For a small percentage of Christians they're  very aware of how this meeting in Annapolis carries serious consequences. For the  majority of Christianity and the church as a whole, has no clue.
Many have the mind set this war has raged for thousands of years and it will not impact us. Wrong, there are numerous ways it will impact us. So many that if we put them all on the table no one would agree, and once again we will have a theological battle.
However, there is one part of this situation that we all can agree upon if we all knew. So let us focus on this one area we can all agree on and get to the bare facts and what the results will be.
Basically, the bottom line is to return to the pre 1967 borders. So, what does this mean? All areas that was acquired after the war of 1967 must go back. This includes Judea, Samaria, and East Jerusalem.
Now let us look at what all is involved and what is at stake.
All of our holy sites in East Jerusalem will go under Palestinian Authority .They are saying ...   more »

Ehud Olmert recently tried to explain to me that in his position as Prime Minister, there are pressures and demands put upon him that the public could not possibly understand.
In an attempt to justify his actions leading up to the Annapolis conference, he said that pressure from America forced him to make concessions. Despite this excuse, America cannot be blamed for Israel’s mistakes in pursuing a failed policy for peace.
Rabin, Beilin and Peres facilitated the Oslo nightmare. Similarly, America cannot be blamed for the disengagement. When Ariel Sharon proposed unilateral withdrawal from Gaza, President Bush was disappointed. He had made it clear that there would be no concessions on Israel’s part until there was a complete cessation of terrorism. Had the idea of disengagement come from the mouth of Mahmoud Abbas, President Bush and the world would never have considered it, but it came from the mouth of the Prime Minister of Israel. The Annapolis conference is merely Oslo and Camp David recycled. It is the same dangerous mistakes repackaged.
I explained to Olmert that this conference will cost Israel dearly but he did not heed my warnings. Israeli Military Intelligence later confirmed ...   more »

An alternative Israeli peace initiative that would see the Jewish state extend its sovereignty over all Judea and Samaria (the so-called "West Bank"), instead of allowing the creation of a Palestinian Arab state there, is gaining support, even among left-wing Israeli lawmakers.
Formulated by Knesset Member Rabbi Benny Elon (National Religious Party), the "Israeli Initiative" calls for Israel to immediately annex all of Judea and Samaria, while working together with Jordan to grant Jordanian citizenship to all of the Arabs living there. Large Arab population centers would conduct civil affairs with a degree of autonomy, while exercising their national expression through Jordan, which is already a Palestinian-majority country.
The Palestinian Authority would be dismantled, as would the so-called Palestinian "refugee camps."
Elon told Israel National News that his plan has been gaining support from within some unexpected quarters, including the left-wing Labor Party and Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's ruling Kadima Party, both of which are officially dedicated to a policy of dividing the biblical land of Israel in a vain attempt to secure peace.
Opposition leader Binyamin Netanyahu (Likud) has also expressed his support for the Israeli Initiative, as have a number of US congressmen.
Jordan is officially opposed to ...   more »

As the government talks about dividing the capital, Jerusalem Mayor Uri Lupolianski on Wednesday proposed a NIS 200 million "Marshall Plan" for east Jerusalem in an eleventh-hour attempt to improve infrastructure and living conditions in east Jerusalem in order to keep the city united.
The grandiose building and development proposal is reminiscent of the four-year, $13-billion Marshall Plan, which helped rebuild Europe after World War II, the city said. The plan, which is still pending municipal and state approval, comes as the government is openly discussing the possibility of ceding Arab neighborhoods of Jerusalem as part of a future peace treaty with the Palestinians, and less than one year before mayoral elections.
"While many are busy talking about Jerusalem, we act," Lupolianski said at a City Hall press conference announcing the plan.
"Our goal is to set facts," he said in rare, albeit brief, remarks in English geared toward the international press.
Despite massive city development projects initiated in east Jerusalem during the tenure of former mayor Ehud Olmert, the long-neglected predominantly Arab half of the city still lags far behind the rest of Jerusalem in terms of infrastructure, roads, garbage collection, housing and green areas, following four ...   more »

Here and there we read about what to expect from President Bush’s Middle East “vision”: increased terror with Katyusha rockets raining on Tel Aviv, a restricted military field of operation, becoming a political protectorate of the Quartet and a military protectorate of NATO, “Anschluss” of Jordan to ‘Greater Palestine’, cutting off the Negev from the rest of Israel by a Gaza-West Bank corridor, Israeli-Arab irredentism, losing the mountain aquifer, orchestrated pressure of ‘refugees’ on the Green Line, and a reduction of Israel’s international stature to ‘loser’ status whose future is already past.
No one, however, has investigated the internal implications of the two-state “vision” -- how will it affect us as a people and a society.  Below are some chapter headings for further research.
Let the economists calculate: if the expulsion of 10,000 people cost 10 million shekels, where will the 100 million shekels come from to expel another 100,000 victims?  Add to this sum reparations to the Arabs of East Jerusalem, and another 200 million shekels to liquidate the settlement blocks so as to keep us within the Green Line.  They must also ask how the traumatic collapse of the lives ...   more »

Former minister and world-renowned Soviet dissident Natan Sharansky on Tuesday launched a new public campaign against the division of Jerusalem, citing an acute "identity crisis" among Israeli political leaders.
The multi-million dollar campaign, which is being launched by the privately funded 'One Jerusalem' organization that was set up in 2000 in order to maintain Jerusalem as a united city under Israeli sovereignty, comes just one week before the planned peace conference in Annapolis, Maryland, and as the government is openly discussing the possibility of ceding Arab neighborhoods of the city to the Palestinians as part of a final peace agreement.
"Above all, Jerusalem is the base of our identity," Sharansky said at a Jerusalem press conference announcing the launching of the campaign. "The problem is that there are many people who want to get rid of their identity," added Sharansky, who has lately quit politics and has retired to a conservative Jerusalem research institute.
Sharansky, who resigned from the government of former Prime Minister Ehud Barak following Barak's willingness to divide Jerusalem at the failed Camp David talks in the summer of 2000, said that any future division of Jerusalem would weaken the Jewish people around the ...   more »

JERUSALEM – Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's office informed the Palestinians that Israel would uproot Jews from a building in the oldest Jewish city as part of agreements to be announced at next week's U.S.-sponsored Mideast summit in Annapolis, senior Palestinian negotiators told WND.
The building in question, purchased by Jews with the approval of the Israel Defense Forces, is situated at a strategic, elevated area that afford Jews in Hebron a lookout post to protect their vulnerable community from Palestinian attacks.
Hebron is home to the Tomb of the Patriarchs, the second holiest site in Judaism. The tomb is believed to be the resting place of the biblical patriarchs and matriarchs Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Sarah, Rebecca and Leah.
In March, Hebron's Jewish community purchased a 37,600-square-foot building it later titled Beit HaShalom, or House of Peace, from local Arabs for $700,000 in cash, according to documentation. Eight families moved in to the structure, which the Jews heavily renovated.
The building's purchase papers were immediately transferred to the Israeli police and IDF. The police confirmed during an initial investigation the purchase was legitimate. Israel heavily restricts the expansion of Hebron's Jewish community, located in the West Bank, for ...   more »

The presidents of Venezuela and Iran boasted Monday that they will defeat U.S. imperialism together, saying the fall of the dollar is a prelude to the end of Washington's global dominance.
Hugo Chavez's visit to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in Tehran followed a failed weekend attempt by the firebrand duo to push the Organization of Petroleum Exporting States away from trading in the slumping greenback.
Their proposal at an OPEC summit was overruled by other cartel members led by Saudi Arabia, a strong U.S. ally. But the cartel agreed to have OPEC finance ministers discuss the idea, and the two allies' move showed their potential for stirring up problems for the U.S.
The alliance between Chavez and Ahmadinejad has blossomed with several exchanged visits — Monday's was Chavez's fourth time in Tehran in two years — a string of technical agreements and a torrent of rhetoric presenting their two countries as an example of how smaller nations can stand up to the superpower.
"Here are two brother countries, united like a single fist," Chavez said upon his arrival in Tehran, according to Venezuela's state-run Bolivarian News Agency.
"God willing, with the fall of the dollar, the ...   more »

A few years ago, I sadly discovered that it was next to impossible to find our nation's great historic documents together in one volume, so we decided to fix that problem. It took us a full year to research and compile over 50 of our country's greatest historical documents, but we did it!
Now you can have these great documents at your fingertips in one beautifully bound, easy to read format. This compilation includes the documents that gave birth to the greatest free nation on earth. Nowhere else that we know of can you find these documents, complete in one volume, under one title. We call this magnificent collection THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS.
Media personalities such as MSNBC's Joe Scarborough, and judges such as the former Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, Roy S. Moore, also own THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS. Even the state Supreme Court in Tennessee ordered several copies. Pastors, teachers, high school and college students, law and history students, and home schoolers have found THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS immensely valuable to the study of American history and civics.
Included in this remarkable volume are documents such as The Mayflower Compact, The First Thanksgiving Proclamation, the complete ...   more »

A bombing campaign has been in the works for months - a blistering air war that would last anywhere from one day to two weeks
PAUL KORING
WASHINGTON — Massive, devastating air strikes, a full dose of "shock and awe" with hundreds of bunker-busting bombs slicing through concrete at more than a dozen nuclear sites across Iran is no longer just the idle musing of military planners and uber-hawks.
Although air strikes don't seem imminent as the U.S.-Iranian drama unfolds, planning for a bombing campaign and preparing for the geopolitical blowback has preoccupied military and political councils for months.
No one is predicting a full-blown ground war with Iran. The likeliest scenario, a blistering air war that could last as little as one night or as long as two weeks, would be designed to avoid the quagmire of invasion and regime change that now characterizes Iraq. But skepticism remains about whether any amount of bombing can substantially delay Iran's entry into the nuclear-weapons club.
Attacking Iran has gone far beyond the twilight musings of a lame-duck president. Almost all of those jockeying to succeed U.S. President George W. Bush are similarly bellicose. Both front-runners, Democrat Senator Hillary Clinton and Republican ...   more »

MANAMA (Reuters) - The United States military machine is undiminished after four years of fighting in Iraq and is more prepared than ever to face any threat from Iran, one of the U.S. military's most senior officials said.
Admiral Timothy Keating, head of U.S. military operations in 41 countries, was speaking in Bahrain days after Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad labeled the U.S. army "shabby", and said his Western foes had "rusty and disabled weapons".
Iran and the West are at loggerheads over the Islamic Republic's nuclear enrichment program, which the West suspects is for the development of a nuclear bomb, but Tehran says is for power generation.
"I don't think our capability has diminished at all," said Keating, Commander of U.S. Pacific Command and former head of navy operations in the Gulf.
Bahrain, an island close to Iran, is home to the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet. Working with British and Australian ships, the fleet is tasked with maintaining stability in the region, and often conducts exercises on Iran's doorstep.
"Because of our continued presence and exercises we've had... the Fifth Fleet and Central Command's ability to provide for peace and stability is even better than before," he ...   more »

Iran-Nuclear-Seminar
Playing with Iran's security is like playing domino as security is an internally linked issue, Secretary of Iran Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), Saeed Jalili, said on Thursday.
He made the remarks responding to a CBS TV network reporter on the sidelines of the opening session of the "International Seminar on Iran's Nuclear Program and IAEA Director General Report" which started here earlier in the day.
"As the anchor of regional security, Iran is ready to protect national and regional security," Jalili stressed.
He referred to Iran's role and its significance at the international arena stressing that playing with the country's security would have a domino effect.
"World powers are now aware of Iran's effective role in international security," said the top nuclear negotiator.
He stressed those who created different crises in the region were now asking Iran to help them get rid of those crises as they were not capable of solving them.

Thanks to lax background checks, even after 9/11, the Hezbollah spy who managed to obtain sensitive jobs at the FBI and CIA is not the first terrorist supporter to infiltrate the U.S. government.
An alleged al-Qaida operative also infiltrated the Environmental Protection Agency, according to federal investigators and court documents obtained by WND.
The case, details of which are revealed here for the first time, involves Waheeda Tehseen, a Pakistani national who obtained a sensitive position with the EPA in Washington as a toxicologist even though she was not a U.S. citizen.
Like the Lebanese national suspected of passing secrets to Hezbollah, Tehseen lied about her citizenship on her government application, a falsehood that the government failed – in both cases – to catch in its security background investigation.
In hiring Tehseen in 1998, the EPA also missed another red flag in her file – her husband's ties to Pakistani intelligence, which has a long history of clandestine support for both the Taliban and al-Qaida. Her husband served as a major in the Pakistani military specializing in intelligence.
FBI investigators say that while Tehseen had access to classified information as a toxicologist, she and her husband ran a charitable front ...   more »
