By Barry Shaw Tuesday, October 4, 2011
One of the main aims of Palestinian participation at the recent United Nations Assembly was to gain widespread international recognition that statehood would begin on 1967 borders with Jerusalem as its capital. Although it is clear that such a proposal would not succeed in achieving the official stamp of law it would, through sheer weight of numbers, resound with virtual legitimacy.
The peace process will be the death of IsraelBy Ted Belman Tuesday, October 4, 2011
US Secretary of defense, Leon Panetta, just came to town and warned that Israel is becoming “increasingly isolated” and must restart negotiations with the Palestinian Authority and work to restore relations with Egypt and Turkey. Why? According to Fox News, he said the ongoing upheaval in the Middle East makes it critical for the Israelis to find ways to communicate with other nations in the region in order to have stability.
The IAEA 2011 General ConferenceBy INSS Tuesday, October 4, 2011
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) General Conference convened on September 19, 2011 in Vienna for its annual meeting. Common to these conferences is the injection of politics into the discussions, i.e., proposals by the Arab nations, headed by Egypt, concerning Israel’s nuclear capabilities. Egypt views the annual conference as a proper forum for advancing its efforts to dismantle these alleged capabilities.

The Palestinian Bid for Statehood: Wherein Lies the State?
By INSS Sunday, October 2, 2011
Political commentators have written that although in his September 2011 UN speech Palestinian President Abbas delivered a vitriolic diatribe against Israel, the speech also contained an historic renunciation of Palestinian territorial claims beyond the June 4, 1967 borders.

Israel and the Jews – Persecutor of Palestine and Islam?By Dr. Laurie Roth Thursday, September 29, 2011
One of the largest and most deadly international conspiracies of our time is the presentation and promotion of the ‘big bad wolf’ Israel and the ‘poor little victims’ Palestine and Islam. The last few weeks we have seen the Arab league, representing radical Islam, Hamas and Fatah, both with radical and terrorist pasts, pushing for the creation of a Palestinian state. Hamas and Fatah along with the Arab league want to seize more land from Israel, including East Jerusalem.
The Axis of Evil Is Holding Lebanon a Hostage
By Elias Bejjani Monday, September 26, 2011
A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle. (Kahlil Gibran)
Both Logic and reality tell us that not even one sane person can dream that a meek sheep can fight a lion or even defend himself in a bid not to be devoured.

Although the upheavals gripping the Arab world are not directly related to Israel or its ongoing conflict with the Palestinians, they intensify existing crises between Israel and the Arab and Muslim worlds. In turn, the deterioration in relations between Israel and the Palestinians as a result of the deadlocked negotiations and the Palestinians’ statehood bid to the UN are liable to further aggravate Israel’s situation with regard to its Middle East environment. Israel’s response to this situation has for the most part been passive and defensive, and there has been no attempt to identify opportunities for proactive policies that could have a positive impact on Israel’s position.

Propaganda is war by other meansBy Ted Belman Sunday, September 25, 2011
There are those who embrace conspiracy theories of a government plan behind major attacks like 9-11 and Pearl Harbor, to lead us into war. As outlandish such theories appear to some, many embrace them because they believe that the government always manipulates public opinion to accept intended actions which the people would otherwise reject.
