FAYYAD WARNS NO TAX MONEY - NO MORE PA
By Elad Benari - First Publish: 11/25/2011, 12:14 AM - Palestinian
Authority Prime Minister Salam Fayyad: If Israel doesn't transfer
our tax money, we will fail financially and cease to exist.
PA Prime Minister Fayyad - The Palestinian Authority may soon
fail financially and cease to exist, its prime minister warned
on Thursday. Salam Fayyad warned that if Israel does not resume
the transfer of tax revenues it collects for the PA, the entity
will collapse economically and thus cease to exist. Already now,
Fayyad claimed, the PA cannot pay salaries to its employees.
Channel 10 News reported that Fayyad made the comments following
a meeting with Norway’s Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre.
According to the report, Fayyad said that the collapse of PA
institutions “is advancing rapidly toward the point at which
they will stop operating.” “We have no money,”
Fayyad was quoted as having said. “It’s not about donations
or international assistance we receive,” he added, blaming
the Israeli decision to freeze the taxes it collects for the
PA as being the reason for the impending collapse. A recent World
Bank report, while admitting that the PA is undergoing a financial
crisis, said the crisis was primarily due to the lack of donor
countries fulfilling their pledges to fork over billions of dollars
to Ramallah. Continued: http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/150082

IRAN BEGS ISRAEL TO ATTACK AND BE BURIED
By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu - First Publish: 11/21/2011, 6:50 PM -
A bluff or a threat? A top Iranian commander begs Israel to attack
so Iran can throw the “enemy’ into the “trash
can of history.” A top Iranian Guards commander has begged
Israel to stage an attack so Iran will be justified in throwing
the “enemy’ into the “trash can of history.”
Revolutionary Guards Aerospace Force Commander Brigadier General
Ali Hajizadeh told the Iranian Fars News Agency, "One of
our big wishes is that they take this action because it is now
a long time that we have piled up huge potential energy and we
are eager to spend it and throw the enemies of Islam and Muslims
into the trash can of the history." His comments are part
of a continuing and escalating psychological war of words between
Iran and Israel and several American officials. Continued: http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/149969

WHAT HAPPENS 'THE DAY AFTER' AN IRANIAN NUCLEAR ATTACK?
By David Lev - First Publish: 11/21/2011, 12:07 PM - Uri Milstein
- An Iranian attack on Israel will not necessarily be "the
end," says historian Dr. Uri Milstein. Israel, he says,
can face "the day after." Will Israel really attack
Iran and attempt to destroy its nuclear facilities? The conventional
wisdom is that although Jerusalem would like to, it most likely
won't – because of fear of what would happen next, and especially
“the day after.” In the wake of such an attack, many
Israeli officials believe, Iran could strike back with a barrage
of weapons – nuclear or conventional.
Of just as great concern is the possibility – even likelihood
– of tens of thousands of conventional missiles being fired
at Israel by Hizbullah and Hamas terrorists, operating out of
Lebanon and Hamas. Both terror groups, after all, are proxies
for Iran, and both have substantial supplies of sophisticated
missiles, some probably tipped with biological or chemical weapons.
An all-out attack on Israel, the conventional wisdom goes, would
basically shut down the government and pretty much disable all
defense efforts. At that point, all that would be left would
be for Arab armies to march into Israel and “throw the Jews
into the sea.” Considering the constant threats lobbed at
Israel by Iran, in fact, such a scenario is possible - perhaps
even eventually likely - even without Israel's attempting to
destroy anything in Iran. And once Iran does get the bomb, many
believe, it's just a matter of time before Israel has to face
"the day after."

SAUDI FM: IRAN IS 'A THREAT TO THE ENTIRE MIDDLE EAST'
By David Lev - First Publish: 11/24/2011, 4:07 PM - Saudi Arabia's
Foreign Minister called Iran a threat to the entire Middle East,
accusing Tehran of instigating Shi'ite violence. While most analysts
here and abroad fret about the possibility of a war between Iran
and Israel, it could be that Iran has its eyes on another prize
– Saudi Arabia. A series of violent incidents in eastern
Saudi Arabia over the past week that have left at least four
dead has raised concern in Riyadh that Iran is seeking to start
an “Arab Spring” type revolution in the heavily Shi'ite
areas of the eastern part of the country. And in a rare statement,
a senior Saudi official directly pointed to Iran as a threat
to his own country, and the entire region.
Emir Sa'ud al-Feisal, Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister, was quoted
in the London-based A-sharq Al-Awsat newspaper Thursday as saying
that “Iran's involvement in the internal affairs of the
nations of the region, as well as its nuclear crisis and attempts
to develop its nuclear program – that will allow it to have
nuclear weapons – are a clear threat to the entire region,”
especially after Iran conquered several strategic Persian Gulf
islands – Little Tumb, Big Tumb, and Abu Musa – from
the United Arab Emirates.
Two people were killed Wednesday night, and six were wounded,
when a gunfight broke out between Saudi soldiers and an armed
gang in the Qatif province, where the majority of residents are
Shi'ite Muslims, as opposed to the majority of Saudis, who are
Sunni and Wahabi Muslims. Sunnis and Sh'ites have for centuries
sought to dominate Islamic life, and wars have occasionally broken
out between the sects. The area is considered especially sensitive,
because it holds a large oil reserve. Continued: http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/150067

- UN SECURITY COUNCIL PUSHING A PALESTINIAN STATE:
- 11/11/11 - Jewish Voice reports that the U.N. Security Council
has decided to take up the resolution to create a Palestinian
state with Jerusalem as its capital when it meets in two weeks.
The likely date of the vote is November 11th. Nine votes from
the fifteen members are required for passage, and eight nations
have already declared their intentions to vote for the measure.
Heavy diplomatic pressure is being put on the remaining “undecided”
members for their votes. The Obama Administration has said that
it will veto the measure if it reaches the nine vote threshold,
blocking it from taking effect. However, many security analysts
fear that such a move would trigger a massive wave of violence
from Palestinian terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah against
Israel.
- Iran has provided hundreds of millions of dollars-worth of
missiles, rockets, guns and military training to their terrorist
friends to use against Israel. The leadership of the Palestinian
political structure is deeply divided. President Abbas’
term in office ended in 2009 and he holds the office only because
he refuses to hold new elections. Yet the Western world continues
to insist that Israel negotiate with this man—who will not
speak to them or recognize Israel as a Jewish state. Your News

- ANTISEMITISM AND THE OCCUPY MOVEMENT:
- The dark scourge of anti-Semitism has reared up at many "Occupy"
protests across the country, and the subject could well become
a campaign 2012 issue as Republicans have been quick to point
out to voters that many Democrats, including the president, are
aligning themselves with the protests. The protesters generally
are expressing a viewpoint that rich people need to pay much
more in taxes and they, the protesters, need more from government;
big banks need the heavy hand of Washington to help spread their
wealth and make things "fair" and they have a "message"
or want to "make a point" for the wealthy. But there's
also a current of targeting Jews. Protesters have proclaimed
that "Zionist Jews" still "need to be run out
of the country," and they condemn "Nazi Bankers Wall
Street." And Barack Obama's perspective? "I think that
it [the movement] expresses the frustrations that the American
people feel," he said. People are still under the influence
of thinking Jews run the world- I say ,“Not Yet!”

- GERMANY: ANTI-ISRAEL DEMONSTRATION DURING OLMERT LECTURE
By Elad Benari - First Publish: 11/25/2011, 5:15 AM - About 100
people demonstrate during a lecture by former Prime Minister
Ehud Olmert at a synagogue in Germany. About 100 people held
an anti-Israel demonstration on Thursday during a lecture by
former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert at a synagogue in the city
of Bochum in Germany, Israel’s Channel 2 News reported.
According to the report, Olmert spoke to about 2,000 members
of the local Jewish community on Israel and the current political
situation. An Iranian activist living in Germany learned of the
lecture and decided to organize a demonstration through Facebook.
His plan was to burst into the synagogue and not allow Olmert
to speak.
- The German police, Channel 2 reported, saw the event on Facebook
and sent reinforcements to the area, thus foiling the demonstrators’
plan to physically enter the synagogue and disrupt the lecture.
“They sent large forces with barriers and managed to keep
the demonstrators at a distance of two-three kilometers from
the synagogue,” Olmert’s media adviser, Amir Dan, told
Channel 2. The report also noted that during the demonstration,
protesters called Israelis “terrorists” and “murderers
of children in Gaza.” Inside, Olmert’s lecture continued
as planned. German police are investigating who is behind the
demonstration. Continued: http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/150088

- ISLAMIST WINDS IN EGYPT? "NO JEWS ALLOWED' AT HOLY SITE
- By Maayana Miskin - First Publish: 10/9/2011, 7:26 PM - Arab
Winter: Egypt has completely barred Jews from visiting the tomb
of Rabbi Abuhatzeira, grandfather of the “Baba Sali.”
The Arab Spring is turning into an Arab Winter for Israeli and
Diaspora Jews. For the first time in recent history, Egypt has
decided to completely bar Jews from visiting the tomb of Rabbi
Yaakov Abuhatzeira, head of the dynasty that included Rabbi Yisrael
Abuhatzeira, the famed “Baba Sali.” The decision, issued
by regional ruler Mukhtar el-Hamlawi, was reported by the Palestinian
Authority news agency Wafa. El-Hamlawi reported that a Cairo
court had ruled that celebrations are forbidden at the tomb,
and Jewish visitors would be barred for that reason.
- In addition, he said, “We prohibit Jews from visiting
the tomb because we identify with the Palestinian people, and
because we do not want to offend the Egyptian public’s sensitivities.”
Egyptian opposition parties, led by the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood,
attempted to prevent Israeli Jews from visiting the rabbi’s
tomb in 2009. While then-President Hosni Mubarak agreed to allow
the visits, the pilgrimage was cancelled for the first time as
opposition parties vowed to prevent Jews from visiting. Mubarak
continued to allow Israelis to visit, and even announced in 2010
that he would grant an unlimited number of permits. Since Mubarak’s
ouster in early 2011, Salafi Islam has been on the rise, while
the Jew-hating Muslim Brotherhood has been gaining political
power. The changes have led to security anarchy in Sinai, an
extremely high terror alert for Israeli visitors, and persecution
of religious minorities in Egypt, primarily Coptic Christians.

- RICE MEMOIR REVEALS OLMERT OFFERED ABBAS 94%; ABBAS SAID
NO
By Elad Benari - First Publish: 10/26/2011, 5:39 AM - Former
U.S. Secretary of State's new memoir sheds light on the groundbreaking
offer made by former PM Olmert to PA Chairman Abbas. Former U.S.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice’s new memoir sheds some
light on the groundbreaking offer made by former Israeli Prime
Minister Ehud Olmert to Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud
Abbas in 2008. The memoir, entitled "No Higher Honor,"
will be published on November 1, and Newsweek magazine presented
some excerpts from it this week.
- Rice writes in the book that both she and President George
W. Bush were “impressed by Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s
desire to get a deal” and that then Foreign Minister Tzipi
Livni, whom Olmert placed in charge of the negotiations, “admitted
that she didn’t know the issues as well but she came up
to speed very quickly.”
- Rice recalls one trip to Jerusalem, in May of 2008, when
Olmert asked to have dinner with her. During that dinner, she
says, Olmert told her that “‘Israel needs to get an
agreement with the Palestinians before you leave office. I want
to do it directly with Abu Mazen,’ he said, referring to
Mahmoud Abbas by his nom de guerre. ‘You are going to see
him tomorrow. Tell him that I want to appoint one person. I have
someone in mind. He is a retired judge that I trust. I want Abu
Mazen to appoint a trusted agent too. We can write down the agreement
in a few pages and then give it to the negotiators to finalize,’
he said.”
- It was during that same conversation, Rice says, that Olmert
told her the details of his groundbreaking proposal.
- “‘I know what he needs. He needs something on refugees
and on Jerusalem. I’ll give him enough land, maybe something
like 94 percent with swaps. I have an idea about Jerusalem. There
will be two capitals, one for us in West Jerusalem and one for
the Palestinians in East Jerusalem. The mayor of the joint city
council will be selected by population percentage. That means
an Israeli mayor, so the deputy should be a Palestinian. We will
continue to provide security for the Holy sites because we can
assure access to them.’"
- "That’s probably a nonstarter, I thought,"
Rice writes. "But concentrate, concentrate. This is unbelievable.
He continued, ‘I’ll accept some Palestinians into Israel,
maybe five thousand. I don’t want it to be called family
reunification because they have too many cousins; we won’t
be able to control it. I’ve been thinking about how to administer
the Old City. There should be a committee of people—not
officials but wise people—from Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the
Palestinians, the United States, and Israel. They will oversee
the city but not in a political role.’”
- “Am I really hearing this? I wondered,” Rice writes.

- BR. NATHANAEL'S INTERVIEW WITH HISTORIAN MICHAEL HOFFMAN
II
- JUDAISM'S STRANGE GODS
- Michael A Hoffman II, historian and writer, is the founder
of Independent History & Research. He was educated at the
University of New York and is a former reporter for the New York
Bureau of the Associated Press.
- Hoffman is the author of several books, including the well
known, Judaism’s Strange Gods. His newsletter, The Hoffman
Wire, is sent out weekly to thousands of supporters.
- Br Nathanael: Is Judaism based on the Old Testament Scriptures?
- Michael Hoffman: No. By the time of Christ, Judaism was based
on the “Oral Law.” The New Testament speaks of this
as the “traditions of the elders.” Jesus Christ denounced
and condemned the “traditions of the elders” in the
Gospel of John Chapter 5 and in the Gospel of Mark Chapter 7.
- After the Jewish leadership crucified Jesus Christ, and their
subsequent killings and persecution of Christians throughout
the Roman world, the rabbis committed to writing the “traditions
of the elders” which formed the first part of the Talmud
called the Mishnah.
- This occurred in Babylon toward the end of the second century
A.D. All subsequent books of the Talmud were composed in Babylon
from the third century until the end of the sixth century A.D.
- Br Nathanael: Is then Judaism based on the Talmud and not
on the Bible?
- Michael Hoffman: The hermeneutic system of Judaism is not
based on the Bible but on the Talmud. This must be understood
when dealing with the rabbis and their submissive flock. Judaism,
though much in vogue with Evangelicals and Roman Catholics, is
totally alien to the only Biblical religion on earth today, Christianity.
- Br Nathanael: You said above that Jesus Christ denounced
the traditions of the elders? How so?
- Michael Hoffman: The rabbis teach that the revelation granted
to Moses had been delivered in two forms, a smaller revelation
in writing, and the larger one kept oral.
- The rabbis claim that the so-called “oral revelation”
had been transmitted by the leaders of each generation to their
successors—by Moses to Joshua; and then to the elders; to
the prophets; to the men of the Sanhedrin; to the leaders of
the Pharisees; and finally to the earliest rabbis who saw themselves
as heirs of the Pharisees.
- This supposed transmission of the Oral Law, the “tradition
of the elders,” was challenged by Jesus who termed it “commandments
of men which nullify the Word of God.”
- Thus Jesus made the tale of the transmission a fraud. It
is a lie concocted in hell to claim that Moses issued two sets
of law, one written and public - the other oral and secret. In
the entire Bible there is nothing to support this imposture.
