FW: Today's News Summaries - US Embassy in Jerusalem - Let's MOVE!
Gabriel Stiles
Both political party are against Jerusalem, and they are against putting the embassy there. The republican Administration of every republican president the past 50 years, has refused to move the embassy to Jerusalem. Stone cold refused. The democratic administration of every democratic president the past 50 years, has refused to do as the American people in the country Americans are tricked into believing is a democracy, and move the US Embassy to Jerusalem.
Americans, you need to realize, America is not a democracy. If it were, the US government what do what its voters demand. The sad republicans keep getting played as what the heads of the republican party believe them to be. They believe the Republican Americans are just ‘easy to play and distract’ fools, who it is only necessary to lie to them and tell them, ‘Elect me! I’ll move the US Embassy to Jerusalem!”. All the republican voters do as they always do, ‘applaud outrageously and cheer with American flags in their hands. Then the guy comes in office, and he will never move the Embassy.
The American government will NEVER move the US Embassy to Jerusalem. They HATE that Jerusalem is part of Israel! They hate it passionately. They plan to just keep putting it off, until Israel is thrown violently, by force, from E. Jerusalem. Then they will move the American Embassy to Jerusalem. Arab occupied, E. Jerusalem. You don’t need to be some kind of a dang ‘psychic’ to know that. You just have to watch what comes out of both sides of an American politicians mouth, and you know it to be a FACT. Republicans love to LIE, it is now the official “Way of the Party”, and play American voters as the fools they consider them to be, and say, “Vote for ME, and I will do it!”. Good Americans are tricked, and he never does. That is the way of the false government of America. Your vote isn’t even counted at the federal level. The “NWO”, the UN, and the Arab League mostly, tells the Americans how they will live. In poverty is best for the Arab League. And drooling idiots in America’s leaders, are just too stupid, or evil like Hitler, to say now.

Obama's Afghanistan Gamble
Rick Moran
FrontPage Magazine, June 23, 2011
President Barack Obama announced on Wednesday evening that he was withdrawing 10,000 troops from Afghanistan by the end of the year and a total of 33,000 troops by the end of 2012. In short, the president has opted to leave the job in Afghanistan half finished because of political expediency and war weariness on the part of the American voter.
Saying, “[I]t is time to focus on nation building at home,” the president stated that the death of Osama bin Laden made the withdrawal possible and budget pressures in Congress made ending our commitment to Afghanistan’s security a necessity. There is also the matter of the president’s re-election that most analysts believe played a large role in the decision.
“We will not try to make Afghanistan a perfect place. We will not police its streets or patrol its mountains indefinitely,” said Obama. It is a sentiment echoed on Capitol Hill by members of both parties, and political activists on the left and right. Some Republicans disagreed with the president, but even many GOP presidential candidates tread softly in their responses....

Israel's Missed Opportunity
Victor Sharpe
Arutz-7, June 21, 2011
Why have the last 44 years since June 1967 been wasted and Judea and Samaria, the Jewish people’s biblical and ancestral heartland, not been annexed to the reborn Jewish state?
I received this simple but profound question from a reader.
“You wrote that for 19 long years from 1948 to 1967, Jordan had occupied Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) and the eastern half of Jerusalem. Then why didn’t Israel Annex the West Bank after 1967 and why doesn’t it annex it now?”
Indeed, why have the last 44 years since June 1967 been wasted and Judea and Samaria, the Jewish people’s biblical and ancestral heartland, not been annexed to the reborn Jewish state?
Unfortunately, many Israeli leaders at the time were socialists, leftists and some even atheists. They were not well grounded in the religious history of the Jewish people and its attachments to its holy places. Despite pleas from religious and conservative Jews, these leftists refused to fully appreciate the precious nature of those lands to the Jewish state: A tragic, missed opportunity....

The End of the Peace Process… Again?
Seth Mandel
FrontPage Magazine, June 17, 2011
...
“Thirty months in, a self-styled transformative president with big ideas and ambitions as a peacemaker finds himself with no negotiations, no peace process, no relationship with an Israeli prime minister, no traction with Palestinians, and no strategy to achieve a breakthrough,” Miller writes.
To be sure, the process of which Miller was a part caused so much damage to the lives of Israeli Arabs and Jews that we should be perfectly content to let him retire without protest. But Miller has still—unbelievably—refused to learn the primary lesson from all his years of failure: the peace process was over before Miller ever got involved.
That doesn’t mean that neither side wants peace. Most Israelis have always wanted peace, and if the polls are accurate many Palestinians want peace as well. It’s the process that has always stood as the principal hindrance to peace. The process allows the Palestinian leadership to soak up foreign money. It allows the United Nations—via its Relief and Works Agency—to keep generations of Palestinian families mired in poverty by assigning them a nonsensical “refugee” status that encourages the Arab leaders of their country of residence—Syria, Lebanon, Jordan—to preserve their identities as second-class citizens. And it forces Israel to make tangible concessions in return for promises....

Iran Power Struggle Makes Nuclear Issue All the More Important
Jonathan S. Tobin
Commentary Magazine, June 23, 2011
The news that the two leading figures in Iran’s leadership are engaged in a bitter feud may give comfort to some who think as long as President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and supreme religious leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei are battling each other, the rest of the world is safe. But the conflict in Tehran is yet another reason why the Islamist regime must not be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons no matter which of the two emerge victorious from the struggle.
The falling out between the ayatollah and the man who was long considered to be his political front man seems to stem as much from a reaction to Ahmadinejad’s flamboyant style and open messianism as the personal struggle for power. Ahmadinejad’s religious extremism is such that it may scare even the ruthless and tyrannical mullahs who have always been the real brokers in Iran since its Islamic revolution. While the supreme leader has a post that is thought to be permanent, presidents have come and gone. But, as the stolen 2009 election that led to riots in Tehran showed, Ahmadinejad has no intention of going anywhere.
Were the Holocaust-denying Ahmadinejad to be forced out, that might be seen as a victory for moderation. But the only real difference on the big issues between him and Khamenei appears to be a function of public relations. The ayatollah is no moderate on either nukes or terrorism....

History of ancient Israel and Judah
Wikipedia, June 23, 2011
[For those readers who like history and are interested in the history of Judea in particular]
By the Early Iron Age, around 1020 BCE, the Southern Levant came to be ruled by the Kingdom of Israel, and its successors, the Northern Kingdom and the Kingdom of Judah. The Northern Kingdom was conquered into the Neo-Assyrian Empire in 720 BCE. The Kingdom of Judah remained nominally independent, but paid tribute to the Assyrian Empire from 715 and throughout the first half of the 7th century, regaining its independence as the Assyrian Empire declined after 640, but after 609 again fell under the sway of imperial rule, this time paying tribute at first to the Egyptians and after 601 BCE to the Neo-Babylonian Empire, until 586 BCE, when it was finally conquered by Babylonia.
Judea is central to much of the narrative of the Torah, with the Patriarchs Abraham, Isaac and Jacob said to have been buried at Hebron in the Tomb of the Patriarchs.
Persian and Hellenistic periods
The Babylonian Empire fell to the conquests of Cyrus the Great in 539 BCE.[7] Judea remained under Persian rule until the conquest of Alexander the Great in 332 BCE, eventually falling under the rule of the Hellenistic Seleucid Empire until the revolt of Judas Maccabeus resulted in the Hasmonean dynasty of Kings who ruled in Judea for over a century.[8]
Roman conquest
Judea lost its independence to the Romans in the 1st century BCE, by becoming first a tributary kingdom, then a province, of the Roman Empire. The Romans had allied themselves to the Maccabees and interfered again in 63 BCE, at the end of the Third Mithridatic War, when the proconsul Pompeius Magnus ("Pompey the Great") stayed behind to make the area secure for Rome. Queen Alexandra Salome had recently died, and a civil war broke out between her sons, Hyrcanus II and Aristobulus II. Pompeius restored Hyrcanus but political rule passed to the Herodian family, first as procurators and later as client kings. In 6 CE, Judea came under direct Roman rule as the province of Iudaea. Eventually, the Jews rose against Roman rule in 66 CE in a revolt that was unsuccessful. Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 CE and much of the population was killed or enslaved.[9]...

Zionism of tomorrow
Sybil Ottenstein
The Jerusalem Post, June 22, 2011
When Theodor Herzl had a dream, he probably didn’t predict a generation of young Jews abandoning it a mere 150 years later. Today’s generation, much like generations before them, is educated, passionate, connected and aware. But, unlike generations before them, Jewish youth today desperately need a new vision of Zionism.
Today’s generation, ‘Generation Y,’ does not know what it’s like to truly fear for Israel’s survival as their parents and grandparents have known all too well. Yes, it can be argued that the Iranian threat represents an existential danger to Israel’s future. However, for ‘Generation Y,’ this threat is not tangible enough, or at the very least, it does not compare to the Holocaust or Israel’s numerous multi-front wars. The fact remains that young Jews today view Israel and Zionism in a completely different context than Jews of generations prior.
For those of today’s generation who do have an active relationship with Israel, many avoid labeling themselves as “Zionist.” While this is in part due to an overall generational aversion to labels and “isms,” there are obvious societal factors which play a role. This generation is constantly being bombarded with news about Israel that oftentimes goes from bad to worse. As such, they are frustrated, disillusioned and perhaps most definitively, increasingly losing interest (if not already utterly apathetic.)...
