6 more months, or was the last 9 months long enough?

'Israel offers to free 400 more prisoners if Abbas extends talks' | The Times of Israel:
Israel has offered to release a new group of 400 Palestinian security prisoners, in addition to the fourth and final group of longtime terrorism convicts who were set to go free this weekend, if the Palestinian Authority agrees to extend peace talks for another six months, The Times of Israel learned from Palestinian sources on Saturday night. The US, anxious to arrange for the continuation of the talks, backed the offer."

 John Kerry’s departure from reality - The Washington Post
"Four months have passed, and, sadly for Kerry and U.S. interests, the verdict is in: delusional. Egypt is under the thumb of an authoritarian general. The Syrian peace talks imploded soon after they began. Kerry is now frantically trying to prevent the collapse of the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, which are hanging by a thread — and all sides agree there will be no deal in April."

For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

United farce

Netanyahu: UNHRC continues its 'march of hypocrisy' against Israel | JPost
"Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Sunday slammed the United Nations Human Rights Council for “absurdly” condemning Israel in five resolutions last week while censuring Syria and Iran only once."

I wonder what these people are going to think when they realize that the only god is the God of Israel?

Hollywood's "Noah" isn't Noah

Ken Ham: The Unbiblical ‘Noah’ Is a Fable of a Film | TIME.com
"It is hard to fathom why some Christian leaders have recommended this movie. Some of them argue that it can be used for evangelistic purposes. However, because the film grossly distorts the Genesis account of the Creation and the Flood, and it totally denigrates the godly character of the Noah of the Bible. In good conscience, we can’t encourage this strategy of evangelism.

“Noah” is an insult to Bible-believing Christians, an insult to the character of Noah, and most of all, an insult to the God of the Bible. "

I guess you can't expect Hollywood to come out swinging against ungodliness in its depiction of "Noah" because it would be incriminating itself.

Ya'alon you're making the Obamanation administration very upset!

Dempsey to meet with Ya'alon in Jerusalem | The Times of Israel: "US Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey is due to visit Israel next week amid ongoing tensions caused by Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon’s disparaging comments towards the Obama administration.

As of Saturday, the US was still waiting for a formal apology from Ya’alon for comments he made last week, in which he accused the Obama administration of being weak on Iran."


So let me get this straight, the evil Ya'alon said:

• the Obamanation is weak on Iran - check
• Abbas is not a partner for peace - check
• that he likely won't see peace within his lifetime - check

So what's the problem? You can't fault one honest guy for speaking the truth and his validated opinion. Honesty is a refreshing change in contrast to the antics of Secretary Kerry, who's working desperately hard to earn his boss his Nobel Peace prize.

John Kerry has the most frustrating job on earth right now - continuously bashing his forehead against the impenetrable rock of Middle East peace. He's expected to do the impossible, which it literally is.

There has never been a civilization or a nation referred to as "Palestine" and the very notion of a "Palestinian Arab nation" having ancient attachments to the Holy Land going back to time immemorial is one of the biggest hoaxes ever perpetrated upon the world! There is not, nor has there ever been, a distinct Palestinian" culture or language. Further, there has never been a Palestinian state governed BY Arab Palestinians in history, nor was there ever a serious Arab-Palestinian national movement until 1964... three years BEFORE the Arabs of "Palestine" lost the West Bank [Judea and Samaria] and Gaza as a result of the 1967 Six-Day War (which the Arabs started). Even the former so-called leader of the "Palestinian" people, Yasser Arafat, was EGYPTIAN! In short, the so-called Arab "Palestinians" are a manufactured people...a people with no history and no authenticity... whose sole purpose for existence is to destroy the Jewish State!

From the Religion of Peace: hit the soft targets

"In a section entitled “Car Bombs inside America,” instructing readers how and where to carry out car bombings, a writer going by the name of “AQ Chef” writes that “America is our first target, followed by United Kingdom, France and other Crusader countries.”"

Verification in Iran: No Substitute for Prevention

"The claim by US negotiator Wendy Sherman that “verification” is the key element in ensuring that the Iranian nuclear program is and remains completely peaceful has resonated in a string of US statements in the same vein, aimed to reassure skeptics that the United States will be able to detect and deal in a timely manner with an Iranian breakout to nuclear weapons.

Israel closes embassies around the world as diplomats strike
"Israeli diplomats launched an unprecedented strike on Sunday, forcing the complete closure of embassies around the world as they escalated a dispute over pay, officials said...

By escalating the action to a full strike - the first by the diplomatic corps since the country's establishment in 1948 - the diplomats will close all of Israel's 102 missions abroad, paralyzing most diplomatic work with other countries and the United Nations."

Something's up. Is Israel about to attack? Israel would close embassies to avoid human casualties in a counterattack. Whether this is "it" or not, as I always say: keep your eyes on Israel. The stop-watch to the end. Always a good time to get on your knees and pray. (First blood red moon is in mid-April. Hmm, coincidence, hoax... or not?)

After Jenin raid, Netanyahu vows Israel 'will attack those who attack us' | JPost

"This is the third time in a little over a week that Netanyahu has talked about Israel’s policy of attacking those who attack it. He said the same thing following the escalation in rocket fire from Gaza some 10 days ago, and following last week’s attack on an IDF jeep patrolling on the Golan Heights."

Chorus of Israeli voices renews calls for Iran strike
"But if Israel is trying to raise the alarm again, the move comes at an inopportune time. The urgency of the Iran issue has taken a backseat to more pressing international crises, namely Russia’s annexation of the Crimea peninsula. With world powers charging forward with negotiations with Iran, threats from Israel are likely to be ignored at best. At worst, they could alienate Israel’s closest allies."

It's difficult for Netanyahu to keep Iran in the forefront of world attention. The Iran nuclear enrichment story has been displaced by Healthcare.gov, Crimea, and flight MH370, even though an Israel-Iran war is the hottest potential spark right now. Israel is alone in seeing Iran as an existential threat, but she has the Creator of everything behind her...what else matters?

Israel said to be budgeting billions for Iran strike | The Times of Israel: "The IDF officials responded that they had received instructions from the highest levels of government, apparently Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon, to continue with preparations for a strike"

If the P5+1 Iran negotiators want to simply play for headlines without substantive results, then I guess Israel is alone in challenging Iran. Might as well get prepared. The peace Nobel laureate Obamanation considers the golf course a higher priority than a pending nuclear world war around the world's oil supply.

The Prime minister implicitly rebuked EU Foreign Police Executive Catherine Ashton for failing to raise the Iranian weapons ship in her talks in Tehran Monday, when he said, “There is a shrill chorus of international condemnation when we build a balcony in Jerusalem, but scarcely a word when Iran tries to smuggle missiles into Gaza.”

Candidly Speaking: Obama-Netanyahu rift is unbridgeable | JPost

"In an unprecedented breach of diplomatic etiquette, President Obama once again sandbagged Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.

Obama accused Netanyahu of leading his country toward disaster, condemned the “more aggressive settlement construction” and rhetorically asked, “Do you resign yourself to what amounts to a permanent occupation of the West Bank?”

He effusively praised Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas – who had rejected prime minister Ehud Olmert’s offer for 97 percent of territories over the Green Line and refused to even conduct negotiations unless Israel released mass murderers whom he currently fetes as heroes. Obama made no reference to Palestinian intransigence and total unwillingness to compromise."

Pilot of missing Malaysian airline pilot tried to turn back 

DEBKAfile March 9, 2014, 8:47 AM (IST)

The 40 ships and 22 planes searching for missing Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 have widened their search in the South China Sea area after military radar indicated that the pilot tried to turn back. The wreckage has still not been found. The plane with 227 passengers and a dozen crew aboard disappeared Saturday two hours after takeoff from Kula Lumpur for Beijing. Security authorities have discovered two more passengers using suspect passports were on the flight, in addition to the two traveling on stolen Italian and Austrian passports. Security authorities in Malaysia and China, joined by the US FBI, are looking into a possible terrorist attack on the flight among other scenarios. They are combing through airport CCTV tapes of the passengers boarding the plane. A sudden explosion would explain why the plane vanished with broadcasting a distress signal.

For the love of Islam. Am I jumping the gun calling out Islam? Maybe, but Islam is now almost synonymous with terror.

Terrorism suspected in Malaysian airline disaster 

DEBKAfile March 8, 2014, 8:36 PM (IST)

The Malayasian Airlines Flight MH370, carrying 227 passengers and a dozen Malaysian crew members en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, lost contact with air controllers Saturday, two hours after takeoff. Security authorities started suspecting terrorism when it was discovered that an Italian national listed on the manifest was not on the plane but in Thailand, and an Austrian citizen reported his passport was stolen in Thailand two years ago. The Vietnam air force reported oil slicks in the sea off southern Vietnam, but no sign of wreckage. An explosion in the luggage hold or a suicide bomber in the passenger section could have caused the plane to vanish in a sudden catastrophe before an emergency was signaled.

USA Today: Search for missing Malaysian Air flight enters second day

"What caused the disappearance of the 777 Boeing jumbo jet remains a mystery. There's also no explanation yet for the identity of two passengers on the flight manifest."

IDF captures Iranian ship carrying advanced rockets for Gaza - Israel News, Ynetnews
"The Klos C Iranian vessel was sailing under a Panamanian flag, making its way to Sudan from Iran carrying a cargo of advanced rockets capable of reaching distances of up to 200 km."

With the West simply appeasing Iran and eager to resuming trade with it, it is inevitable that Iran and Israel will soon be in an overt war. Also, with Putin flexing his muscle, literally and often without his shirt on, it's starting to look a lot like Ezekiel 38-39, which for this Christian is awesome to see in my lifetime!

When Bibi met Obama | The Times of Israel:
"Unlike Washington, where the AIPAC Israel lobby’s annual conference has taken a far back seat to Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Crimean machinations, in Israeli papers, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s meeting with US President Barack Obama takes center stage nearly across the board."

Keeping up appearances but could they be more different?

This headline is laughable!

US prepares tough response for Russia over Ukraine | The Times of Israel (I'm being sarcastic with the headline)

"WASHINGTON (AP) — Western powers on Sunday prepared a tough response to Russia’s military advance into Ukraine and warned that Moscow could face economic penalties, diplomatic isolation and bolstered allied defenses in Europe unless it retreats."

The OBAMAnation's tough response will be that he will not come to Sochi for the G8 - ooooo, take that Putin!! Or worse yet - Obama may not play a full 18-holes with you Vladimir when you come to Washington next time!!!!! (maybe only 9 holes).

Potus is almost a worldwide, disrespected joke. Nobody takes Barack's pink lines seriously any more. Can Israel please just attack Iran in April already, and get what really matters started and over with?!

Iran advancing its nuclear program despite pact with West
"Iran is moving ahead with a nuclear program that U.S. officials said would be frozen, and it is now clear the USA and other world powers are willing to accept an Iranian enrichment program that Iran refuses to abandon, say analysts.

 Iran has continued research and development on new, far more efficient machines for producing uranium fuel that could power reactors or bombs, and its stockpile of low enriched uranium has actually grown, according to a report by Institute for Science and International Security."

Putin asks parliament to use military in Ukraine
"Russian President Vladimir Putin asked parliament Saturday for permission to use the country's military in Ukraine, moving to formalize what Ukrainian officials described as an ongoing deployment of Russian troops in the strategic region of Crimea."

Might as well go ahead, Vladimir, the world cares not. Obama's probably golfing.

Obama drawing pink lines on Russia now; Goodbye Ukraine.
