  2. Israel prepping for war with Iran? 
 Increasing speculation it may be preparing for a military assault on Iran or a regional war involving Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza, Israel has placed its largest order of military fuel with the United States on record. The Jewish state, earlier this month, ordered 284 million gallons of JP-8 aviation jet fuel, 100 million gallons of diesel fuel and 60 million gallons of unleaded gasoline - all suitable for military uses...

  3. Netanyahu: I never promised to extend construction freeze 
 Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Likud ministers on Sunday that he had not made any promises to U.S. President Barack Obama or any other American government official regarding an extension of the settlement construction freeze in the West Bank. "We made no proposals to the Americans on extending the freeze," Netanyahu said. "We said that the future of the communities will be discussed as one of the ... [Read More]
 
 
  4. Syrian president urges Lebanon to support Hizbullah 
 Lebanese Prime Minister Sa'ad Hariri met with Syrian President Bashar Assad in Damascus early on Monday, to discuss Syrian-Lebanese ties and to consolidate "coordination between the two countries in all fields," Syria's state-run news agency SANA reported Monday. Hariri has visited Damascus repeatedly this year in a sign of Syria's renewed influence over Lebanon in the years since Damascus withdrew its military... [Read More]
 
 
  5. Abbas lies and threatens. No one notices. 
 "I turn to you, our Palestinian neighbors, led by the Palestinian Authority, and I say: Let's begin negotiations immediately without preconditions." - Benjamin Netanyahu, June 14, 2009 "I want to enter direct talks with the Palestinian leadership now. I call on President Mahmoud Abbas to meet me in the coming days to begin peace talks so that we can have and fashion a final peace between Israel and its Palestinian neighbors... [Read More]
 
 
  6. Gilad Schalit turns 24 in captivity 
 Thousands of people gathered near the Prime Minister's Residence on Saturday night to mark St.-Sgt. Gilad Schalit's 24th birthday - and fifth birthday in captivity - and to pressure Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu not to forget the captive tank gunner when he goes to Washington next week. "Again this year I did not buy a present, I did not bake a cake, and you will not blow out your candles," Aviva Schalit said of... [Read More]
 
 
  7. Analysis: What if he was opposition leader? 
 Imagine what Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu would have said following Tuesday's fatal terrorist attack near Hebron had he been opposition leader and not prime minister. He undoubtedly would have called upon the prime minister to leave Washington immediately and return home to restore Israeli security. He would be saying that the attack proved that Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas had no control... [Read More]
 
 
  8. Central Israel in range of Hamas rockets 
 Hamas has completed a series of experiments on its advanced Fajar rocket, which has a range of almost 80 kilometers (roughly 50 miles) and can as far Kfar Saba, northeast of Tel Aviv, experts say. In a few months, Hamas will be able to begin manufacturing the rockets, Yedioth Ahronoth reported Tuesday. The progress made by the Gaza group on the rocket front is huge, considering that Hamas' original Qassam... [Read More]
 
 
  9. PM offers bi-weekly meeting with Abbas 
 Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened his advisors on Thursday evening for a preparation discussion ahead of the restart of direct peace talks with the Palestinians next week in Washington. Netanyahu suggested to the Americans that he would meet with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas every fortnight for the purpose of "quiet understandings." The burning issue of the freeze is still being discussed with the... [Read More]
 
 
  10. Pearl: Islamic leaders justify violence 
 In a Jerusalem Post op-ed article, Judea Pearl, father of the Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel murdered by Islamic terrorists in Pakistan eight years ago, says that permitting the Ground Zero mosque project would prolong "the illusion" that the American Muslim leadership can achieve public acceptance without confronting its role in allowing "victimhood, anger and entitlement" to spawn acts of terrorism. In the... [Read More]

  1. Israeli official declares: 'We're preparing for war'  
 While Israel is hoping for a peaceful resolution to Iran's nuclear ambitions, the Jewish state is also preparing for "a time of war," declared a Knesset member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's ruling Likud party. "We are prepared for all risks," said Likud Knesset Member Danny Danon. "And I think our enemies should know that even though we are speaking of peace, we are getting ready for a time of war...

  2. Iran begins fueling nuclear reactor  
 BUSHEHR, Iran - Iranian and Russian engineers began loading fuel into Iran's first nuclear power plant on Saturday, a major milestone as Teheran forges ahead with its atomic program despite UN sanctions. The weeklong operation to load uranium fuel into the reactor at the Bushehr power plant in southern Iran is the first step in starting up a facility the US once hoped to prevent because of fears over Teheran's... [Read More] 
 
 
  3. Lieberman: Settlement building should restart in September 
 Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said Wednesday that there was no reason why building should not restart in the major West bank settlement after a 10-month freeze expires next month. The determination to continue building is likely to alarm Palestinians, who are pushing for an Israeli promise to continue the freeze ahead of peace talks in Washington, due to start on September 2. Palestinian negotiators have... [Read More]
 
 
  4. PM demands talks focus on security issues before borders  
 Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu intends to lead the direct negotiations with the Palestinians due to be inaugurated in Washington on September 2. Netanyahu says he plans to focus on security arrangements before addressing final borders. Speaking behind closed doors, Netanyahu said the success of the talks will hinge on understandings between the leaders. "I will want to reach agreed principles with the Palestinian...

  5. AP Takes "Hard Line" Against Israeli Negotiating Position 
 "I turn to you, our Palestinian neighbors, led by the Palestinian Authority, and I say: Let's begin negotiations immediately without preconditions." - Benjamin Netanyahu, June 14, 2009 "I want to enter direct talks with the Palestinian leadership now. I call on President Mahmoud Abbas to meet me in the coming days to begin peace talks so that we can have and fashion a final peace between Israel and its Palestinian neighbors... [Read More]
 
 
  6. On whose side is Obama?  
 President Obama's defense of the right of Muslims to build a mosque and Islamic center in New York City turned the issue into one of religious freedom. That was wrong. Obama's first priority - like that of every national leader - is to speak for his country and on its behalf. Obama's refusal to do so, his insinuation that questions raised about a proposed Islamic mega-center near the site of the 9/11 attacks... [Read More]
 
 
  7. Iran says test-fired new missile  
 Iran has test fired its home-built surface-to-surface Fateh 110 missile, state television reported on Wednesday, less than a week after a similar test was carried out on another missile. State television showed a sand-colored missile being launched from a vehicle and blasting into the sky from a desert terrain, leaving behind a thick plume of smoke. It did not say when the missile was fired. Iran's English-language Press ... [Read More]
 
 
  8. The Only Permissible Hatred?  
 The chairman of Finland's branch of Amnesty International, Frank Johansson, wrote in his blog at a Finnish newspaper that Israel is a "scum state." It makes me recall a British ambassador who used a nastier word at a dinner party a couple of years back. And I've heard from several diplomats equivalent things over the years. Isn't it something that in this day of Political Correctness and multiculturalism and ... [Read More]
 
 
  9.Hamas: PA waging war on Islam, Allah  
 Hamas accused the Palestinian Authority on Tuesday of "waging war on Islam and Allah" by detaining and firing hundreds of imams and banning the recitation of the Koran over loudspeakers on mosques. The allegation followed a series of measures taken by the PA against Hamas supporters and institutions in the West Bank. It also came in response to the PA government's decision to ban mosques from broadcasting... [Read More]
 
 
  10. Obama deflecting heat by focusing on Israel  
 JERUSALEM - With President Obama's policy on Iran now internationally recognized as a failure and with the White House taking heat for Obama's declared support of an Islamic group's right to build a mosque near Ground Zero, the president is in a desperate bid to change the topic quickly. The "solution": Israeli and Palestinian direct talks in Washington, D.C. Yesterday, Iranian and Russian engineers began the... [Read More]

  1. Aug. 21 activation of Iran's first reactor  
 The sudden announcement in Moscow and Tehran on Aug. 11 that Russia is set to activate Iran's first nuclear power reactor by loading the fuel on Aug. 21 has caused a major flap in Israel in view of the military aspects of the plant. DEBKAfile's military sources report that only last week, high Israeli officials asked Washington for clarifications on the latest intelligence information that Moscow had decided to finally activate...

  2. Israel: We'll reject any preconditions for direct talks  
 Israel will reject any preconditions set forth by the Quartet of Middle East peace negotiators in regard to scheduled resumption of direct talks between Israel and the Palestinians, a forum of seven senior cabinet ministers, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, decided Sunday evening.

Soldiers at the site fired back at the source of the fire. An IDF source told Ynet ... [Read More]
 
 
  4. 'Iran to give Hizbullah weapons'  
 Turkey and Iran are rumored to be helping Hizbullah obtain new weapons, Italian daily Corriere Della Sera reported on Wednesday evening. Turkish intelligence chief Hakan Fidan reportedly met with his Iranian counterpart Hossein Taeb to discuss relations between the two countries. Sources told Corriere Della Sera that Turkey will "send sophisticated weapons, rockets and guns to Syria, that will end up in Lebanon," where the... [Read More]
 
 
  5. The Persian prince 
 About three months ago, Major-General Sami Turgeman, commander of the Israel Defense Forces' ground forces, delivered a motivational speech to cadets at the Bahad 1 officer's training base in southern Israel. Turning to one of the cadets, Turgeman said, "Stand up, introduce yourself and tell us why you want to become an officer." The cadet's story left the general flabbergasted. A month later, when the course ended... [Read More]
 
 
  6. Look what Obama's pushing Israel to do now  
 JERUSALEM - The U.S. is pushing Israel into conceding strategic territory in the next few months despite admissions from the Palestinian Authority it is not fully ready to assume security control over the areas in question, WND has learned. As a confidence gesture to the PA, the Obama administration has asked Israel to withdraw its forces from Area C - neighborhoods in the West Bank and eastern sections of... [Read More]
 
 
  7. Israel's Crunch Time  
 The Obama administration gave Russia permission to deliver the fuel rods for Iran's Bushehr nuclear reactor in return for their support for U.N. sanctions. The Russians have announced they will begin the process on August 21 and Iran will begin operating the reactor in mid-September. In making this concession to Russia, the U.S. is forcing Israel to decide within one week if they will bomb the site before it is impossible ... [Read More]

  1. U.S.: Lebanese fire was totally unjustified  
 State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said Wednesday that the firing by Lebanese armed forces on Israeli troops near the Israel-Lebanon border on Tuesday, which killed one Israeli officer and seriously wounded another, was "totally unjustified and unwarranted" while calling on both sides to show restraint. The Lebanese shooting on Tuesday prompted an Israeli response which left two Lebanese soldiers dead, as well ... [Read More] 
 
 
  2. Iran ready to 'support' Lebanese army  
 Iran yesterday offered support to Lebanon's army a week after Beirut forces engaged in a deadly cross-border clash with Israel that prompted U.S. lawmakers to block funding to the Lebanese military. Last week, WND quoted Egyptian and other Middle Eastern security officials stating Western, Israeli and Arab intelligence services have identified a growing penetration of Iranian Revolutionary Guard Units into the...

  3. US: Direct talks 'getting closer' 
 Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and US envoy George Mitchell on Tuesday failed to reach agreement on the issue of direct talks between the PA and Israel. The two men met in Ramallah to discuss the latest developments surrounding the peace process and US efforts to launch direct talks between the two parties. Abbas reiterated during the three-hour meeting his readiness to move to direct talks ... [Read More]
 
 
  4. Iran arms itself with cutting edge, long-range missiles  
 Iran has received four S-300 Russian long range surface-to-air missile systems even though Moscow decided not to implement a contract it had with Tehran to deliver them because of the new United Nations sanctions against the volatile state, according to a report from Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin. The S-300 systems come from Belarus and one other unidentified country, according to Iran's Fars news agency which is... [Read More]
 
 
  5. Were UNIFIL Forces Complicit in Ambushing IDF?  
 Damaging Imagery Shows UNIFIL Forces Shielding Lebanese Soldiers Attacking the IDF The IDF informed UNIFIL UN 'peacekeepers' of the brush clearing operations which were taking place on the Israeli side of the border with Lebanon in advance. The images clearly show soldiers working with a crane to clear brush. This is how it looked. UNIFIL The UN forces were supposedly enhanced & put in place by resolution... [Read More]
 
 
  6. Hamas on killing spree in Gaza  
 News stories about bodies found at sea are occasionally published by Gaza newspapers. The number of such bodies isn't huge, yet not all those drowning victims chose to go swimming voluntarily. The Gazans who found their death at sea include mid-level officials at sensitive government ministries, the Interior Ministry for example, alongside police and security officers. Some of them were shot in the head before being... [Read More]
 
 
  7. The power of Aliyah  
 In 2010, a surge in the Israeli Jewish fertility rate is a long-term, unique, global phenomenon, while fertility rates decline sharply in the Third World in general and in Muslim countries in particular. In 2010, there is a 66% Jewish majority in 98.5% of the area between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean (without Gaza) - and a 58% Jewish majority with Gaza. That Jewish majority benefits from a demographic tailwind... [Read More]
 
 
  8. IDF changes approach to Lebanon army  
 Exactly a week after the exchange of fire on Israel's northern border, the IDF decided to change its approach to the Lebanese army. After the incident, Yossi Heiman, head of the Division for Strategic Planning and Foreign Relations in the Planning Directorate, told the Lebanese chief of staff as well as senior UNIFIL figures that Israel would now respond harshly to all aggressive moves - four times more severely than it...

  9. Preparing for future wars  
 Israel Air Force deployments in various European states are always classified. The host country never knows what hides behind the training sessions held in its territory. Such sessions may take place in Hungary, Romania, Greece, Italy, Germany, Canada, and certainly in the US.

 A natural "bioremediation" technique developed by biologists at an Israeli university may hold the key to the final, difficult steps of the billion dollar oil spill cleanup in the wake of the BP disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. Professors Eugene Rosenberg and Eliora Ron from Tel Aviv University (TAU) use naturally occurring oil-munching bacteria, grown at the TAU lab, to clean hard-to-reach oil pockets that are produced when...

  1. Israeli officer killed in clash on Israel-Lebanon border  
 During the grave incident in the North, Lt. Col. (res.) Dov Harari was killed, and Cpt. (res.) Ezra Lakia was critically wounded. Maj. Gen. Gadi Eizenkot called it an "initiated and provocative action by the Lebanese army, without any provocation from our territory. Full responsibility lies on the Lebanese army." Lt. Col. (res.) Dov Harari (45) from Netanya was shot and killed by Lebanese military gunfire during a grave incident... [Read More] 
 
 
  2. Tehran admits access to nuclear, missile technology  
 The statement by parliament speaker Ali Larijani July 31 that Iran can obtain nuclear and missile technology is theclosest any Iranian official has come so far to admitting his country is within reach of acquiring a nuclear weapon, DEBKAfile's military sources report. Further turning up the heat on Washington, the foreign ministry in Tehran announced Sunday, Aug. 1, that the three American hikers detained a year ago... [Read More] 
 
 
  3. Arab League endorses direct talks  
 Arab League foreign ministers on Thursday authorized the Palestinian Authority to enter into direct negotiations with Israel, but left it up to PA President Mahmoud Abbas to decide on the timing. Jerusalem immediately welcomed the decision, taken at a special meeting in Cairo, with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu issuing a statement saying he was "prepared to begin direct and honest discussions with the Palestinian...

  4. 'We will resume suicide attacks'  
 The Islamic Jihad organization said on Sunday that it has decided to resume suicide attacks against Israel from the West Bank. The threat came in response to attacks launched by IAF planes on the Gaza Strip following the firing of rockets on Israel in the past few days. The group, however, admitted that it has become very difficult to launch suicide attacks out of the West Bank because of security... [Read More]
 
 
  5. Putin's War on Israel  
 Now that another Middle East war seems imminent, concerns are growing about the new powerful weapons that are available to Palestinian terrorists. It appears to be virtually unknown that these weapons are being steadily supplied by Putin&#8217;s Russia. In the present atmosphere of the everlasting "reset" of relations between the U.S. and Russia, it is not difficult for the Kremlin to camouflage its arming of terrorist... [Read More]
 
 
  6. "Terrorists want to thwart peace"  
 Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu spoke on the telephone with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and Jordanian King Abdullah on Monday about the rocket attacks which struck Jordan and Israel earlier in the day. "The attacks perpetrated on innocent citizens of Jordan and Israel were carried out by terrorists that want to thwart the peace process," said Netanyahu in a statement released Monday. "All of the countries&Acirc;  ... [Read More]
 
 
  7. Hamas summer camp: Weapons training for kids  
 For the first time since the introduction of Hamas-operated children's summer camps in the Gaza Strip, a new and special course has been opened for senior figures' kids involving elaborate weapons training. Last week, the Palestinian SPA news agency released the first images from the graduation ceremony of Gaza's privileged class. The event was organized by Hamas' interior ministry responsible for the group's... [Read More]
 
 
  8. Avowed Hater of Israel Becomes First Lutheran  
 The World Alliance of the Evangelical Lutheran Church has elected a new man at the top: 59-year-old Munib A. Younan (photo), a Jerusalem-born "Palestinian refugee," bishop of the "Evangelical Lutheran Church of Jordan and the Holy Land" (the Church uses the term Holy Land mostly for when it doesn't wish to express the politically incorrect word "Israel). Munib is seen as a "peace activist" who is seeking dialog with the... [Read More]
 
 
  9. What will Hamas do if direct peace talks take off?  
 The impression from the weekend's events was that neither Israel nor Hamas was interested in escalating the situation, and both are looking for ways to lower the flame and restore the unofficial cease-fire on the Gaza Strip border since the end of Operation Cast Lead about a year and a half ago. On Friday a Grad Katyusha rocket fired from Gaza landed in Ashkelon, causing no injuries. It is not clear who was behind ... [Read More]
 
 
  10. Wilders: My Message to Muslims  
 Muslims Debate asked Mr. Geert Wilders why he became anti-Islam and what is his message to the Muslims? Geert Wilders: I first visited an Islamic country in 1982. I was 18 years old and had traveled with a Dutch friend from Eilat in Israel to the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Sharm-el-Sheikh. We were two almost penniless backpacking students. We slept on the beaches and found hospitality with Egyptians, who spontaneously... [Read More]

  1. 'For peace, you have to meet directly'  
 A day before a critical meeting of Arab League Foreign Ministers in Cairo to discuss whether to support direct negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians, visiting Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Moratinos sent a clear European message Wednesday that it was time now to enter direct talks. "It is true that if you want peace, if you want a final settlement, you have to meet directly. I think it is the best way to go forward... [Read More] 
 
 
  2. Gaza militants firing a new type of rocket, police say  
 Police officials investigate the possibility that a rocket fired into Israel over the weekend is of a new, and more precise type. The rocket which was fired into Israel early Saturday morning was not a Qassam, but may be a more advanced type of projectile which had been smuggled into the Gaza Strip, police officials told Haaretz. The officials were referring to a rocket, which was initially reported to be a Qassam, that had failed... [Read More] 
 
 
  3. Barak: If Hezbollah attacks, we'll strike Lebanese gov't 
 Defense Minister Ehud Barak said in an interview to the Washington Post on Monday that if Hezbollah resumes firing rockets at Israel, the Israel Defense Forces will respond with a direct attack on Lebanese government institutions. In an interview to the American paper ahead of his landing in the United States for an official visit, the defense minister warned that Israel would strike directly at the Lebanese government...

  4. Israel warns of N. Korea missile proliferation in Mideast  
 Israel has told the UN Security Council's North Korea sanctions panel that ballistic missile proliferation by Pyongyang is destabilizing the Middle East and urged countries to step up efforts to stop it. "Israel would like to express its ongoing concern regarding the proliferation of ballistic missiles from (North Korea), and to encourage the international community to strengthen its efforts in response to these dangers...

  5. EU imposes new Iran sanctions  
 The European Union formally adopted new energy sanctions against Iran Monday which target the country's energy, banking, and foreign trade sectors. The move comes on the heels of the unilateral US sanctions passed last month by the Senate. The EU sanctions were agreed to in principle by European leaders in June, and are the latest in a series of measures taken by the international community in an effort... [Read More]
 
 
  6. Iran's Proxy Powder Keg  
 July 12, 2010 marked the fourth anniversary of Israel's Second Lebanon War. In the intervening years, Hezbollah has made significant political and military gains in Lebanon. The rise in the paramilitary terrorist organization is likely due to three key factors: to Israel's failure in 2006 to completely destroy Hezbollah's infrastructure, the perceived weakness of the Obama administration as a result of its appeasement of Iran and...

  7. Israeli appeasement of Turkey begets four flotilla probes  
 The Netanyahu government's decision to send back to Ankara the four flotilla boats used by the Turkish IHH terrorist sponsors of Hamas was Israel's fourth gesture of abject appeasement in a week to Ankara, which continues to whip up anti-Israel agitation in line with its undisguised hostility towards the Jewish state, DEBKAfile's military sources report. The Islam-orientated government of Recep Erdogan ... [Read More]
 
 
  8. Missile shield: Is Israel safe?  
 Defense officials are still euphoric over the successful test of the Iron Dome anti-rocket system. I do not wish to rain on their parade, yet nonetheless it is important for Israel's citizens to realize that the system's capabilities are still far from realizing the hopes they pin on it. Technologically, Iron Dome operates even more effectively than its planners predicted. However, it will be hard to assess the ... [Read More]
 
 
  9. Israel's southern border wide open and undefended  
 Turkey's foreign minister Ahmed Dagutoglu met secretly in Damascus with Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal Monday, July 19, as well as getting together with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and Lebanese Prime Minister Saad al Hariri to synchronize their operations against Israel, focusing for now on the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip. In Israel, meanwhile, the home-made Iron Dome defense system against short- and medium-range ... [Read More]
 
 
  10. Israel as the Ram in the Thicket  
 There is a continuum of anti-Israel rhetoric. One end of the continuum is marked by hate toward Israel and Jews rooted in deeply hostile beliefs about the nature of the Jewish people. The other end is marked by polite de-legitimization through an obsession with Israeli policies and silence about the behavior of its adversaries. The hateful end of the continuum is occupied by anti-Israel extremists in the Middle East... [Read More]

 The official Palestinian Authority daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, reports that PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas said that he supports negotiations with Israel today because it is the only option. However, as to the military option, Abbas said: "If you [Arab states] want war, and if all of you will fight Israel, we are in favor. But the Palestinians will not fight alone because they don't have the ability to do it." The PA daily reports that Abbas said this at a meeting with writers and journalists in the ...

"The era ... [Read More] 
 
 
  3. Knesset revokes MK Zoabi's privileges 
 The Knesset revoked privileges from MK Hanin Zoabi Tuesday, due to her participation in the Gaza aid flotilla in May. A majority of 34 MKs voted in favor of invalidating her diplomatic passport and revoking her right to receive funding for legal expenses. A violent brawl was nearly started between Arab and Jewish MKs after the hearing. Zoabi clapped when the Knesset's decision was announced, and MK Yoel Hasson drew close to her and said, "You will soon be a former MK." Hasson also joined ... [Read More]
 
 
  4. PM says asked Obama to help free Shalit  
 Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he has asked US President Barack Obama to work towards the release of kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit, who has been held by in Gaza for more than four years. Speaking at the weekly cabinet meeting on Sunday, Netanyahu told his ministers: "I asked the president to exert all of his power and the tools at his disposal to secure Shalit's release, after four years in Hamas captivity." The prime minister added that he had briefed the captive's parents, Aviva and ... [Read More]

Hezbollah commander in southern Lebanon, Sheikh Nabil Kaouk, made his comments Sunday in response to this week's release by Israel's military of maps and aerial photographs of what it described as a network of Hezbollah weapons depots and command centers in southern Lebanon. The Israeli material included detailed maps and 3-D simulations showing individual ... [Read More]
 
 
  6. 32 homes approved in Pisgat Ze'ev 
 The Jerusalem district planning and construction committee approved the construction of 32 housing units in the eastern neighborhood of Pisgat Ze'ev, on land captured by Israel in 1967. Members of the committee said Monday, just one week after a meeting between US President Barack Obama and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, that contractors could begin construction immediately.

  7. Hezbollah tunnels under northern border 
 Concerns are mounting in the defense establishment that Hizbullah may be digging tunnels from Lebanon to Israel to attack a border community or IDF outpost. While the IDF has been worried that Hizbullah will try to kidnap soldiers - as it has done twice in the past - the latest fears surround the possibility that terrorists will cross into Israel through tunnels, enter a border community like Shlomi and barricade themselves inside a home with civilians. n addition, there is concern that Hizbullah will use these ...

  8. Revisiting WWII Jewish Roundup In Paris 
 On July 16, 1942, at the height of World War II, thousands of French police officers raided apartments belonging to Jews in occupied Paris and ordered them to pack up their belongings. It was around 4 am when the stunned Jews were transported to the Velodrome d'Hiver - an indoor cycle track at the corner of the boulevard de Grenelle and the rue Nelaton in the 15th arrondissement of Paris. From there the Jews were taken to the internment camp at Drancy. The next stop was Auschwitz. According ... [Read More]
