THE POTUS MAKES A BOO-BOO....OOOOOPPPSSS!

If Netanyahu reported accurately to the Knesset on Tuesday on what will be in the nuclear accord being negotiated in Lausanne a US presidential zig-zag.

“The biggest threat to our security and our future was and remains Iran's attempts to arm with nuclear weapons,” Netanyahu said at the ceremonial opening of the 20th Knesset just hours before the self-imposed deadline for reaching a framework deal between the world powers and Iran.

“The agreement being put together in Lausanne paves the way for that result. Apparently it will leave in Iran's hands underground facilities, the [hard-water] reactor at Arak, advanced centrifuges. All those things that only a few months ago we were told, rightfully so, that they were not vital to a peaceful nuclear program.”  It was US President Barack Obama who said that each of those elements was not needed for a peaceful program.

Obama, during a question-and answer session at the Saban Forum at the Brookings Institution in Washington in December 2012, said the following: “In terms of specifics, we know that they don’t need to have an underground, fortified facility like Fordow in order to have a peaceful nuclear program.  “They certainly don’t need a heavy-water reactor at Arak in order to have a peaceful nuclear program.  They don’t need some of the advanced centrifuges that they currently possess in order to have a limited, peaceful nuclear program,” Obama said at the time.

Netanyahu chose his words carefully, saying these elements will “apparently” be in the agreement, since the details of the deal are still being worked out, and have not been released.

Dismissed as "worthless" comments made by Chief US Negotiator to the talks with Iran Wendy Sherman, in which she questioned Iran's need to have some of its most controversial nuclear facilities.   

"Iran's nuclear technology is non-negotiable and comments about Iran's nuclear facilities are worthless and there is no need to negotiate or hold talks about them,"  AFP quoted Mohammad  Mohammad Javad Zarif as saying, citing Iranian media.  "Those who know our peaceful objectives are also aware that we will not negotiate about our [nuclear] facilities," Zarif added.   Sherman made the remark at a US Senate hearing on Tuesday. 

"We know that Iran does not need to have an underground, fortified enrichment facility like Fordow ... [or] a heavy-water reactor at Arak to have a peaceful nuclear program," she said.   

"Ms. Sherman should stick to the reality and stop speaking of impossible things even if it is only for domestic consumption ... since reaching a solution can be hindered by such words," Zarif said according to the report. 

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++THE FUTURE OF THINGS TO COME.....??????

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s statement earlier this week that “we see eye to eye with many of our Arab neighbors regarding the danger posed by Iran and we also view positively the benefit that this new partnership could have for the region.”               AMEN

A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY OF THE JEWISH STATE OF ISRAEL

The foundations of Zionism are:

The unity of the Jewish people, its bond to its historic homeland Eretz Yisrael, and the centrality of the State of Israel and Jerusalem, its capital, in the life of the nation.

WHILE THEY ARE TALKING IN LAUSANNE...Iran militia chief: Destroying Israel is ‘nonnegotiable’

Iran militia chief: Destroying Israel is ‘nonnegotiable’

Basij commander Mohammad Reza Naqdi also threatens Saudis, saying their

fate will be like that of Saddam Hussein

BY LAZAR BERMAN March 31, 2015, 4:03 pm

The commander of the Basij militia of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said that “erasing Israel off the map” is “nonnegotiable,” according to an Israel Radio report Tuesday.

Militia chief Mohammad Reza Naqdi also threatened Saudi Arabia, saying that the offensive it is leading in Yemen “will have a fate like the fate of Saddam Hussein.”

Naqdi’s comments were made public as Iran and six world powers prepared Tuesday to issue a general statement agreeing to continue nuclear negotiations in a new phase aimed at reaching a comprehensive accord by the end of June.

In 2014, Naqdi said Iran was stepping up efforts to arm West Bank Palestinians for battle against Israel, adding the move would lead to Israel’s annihilation, Iran’s Fars news agency reported.

“Arming the West Bank has started and weapons will be supplied to the people of this region,” Naqdi said.

“The Zionists should know that the next war won’t be confined to the present borders and the Mujahedeen will push them back,” he added. Naqdi claimed that much of Hamas’s arsenal, training and technical knowhow in the summer conflict with Israel was supplied by Iran.

The Basij is a religious volunteer force established in 1979 by the country’s revolutionary leaders, and has served as a moral police and to suppress dissent.

In January, a draft law that would give greater powers to the Basij to enforce women’s compulsory wearing of the veil was ruled unconstitutional.

The force holds annual maneuvers, sometimes with regular Iran units.

The PA still plans to destroy Israel....but "Don't tell anyone."

Monday, March 30, 2015

Pssst: The PA still plans to destroy Israel. Don't tell anyone.

From Palestinian Media Watch:

The Mufti of the Palestinian Authority Sheikh Muhammad Hussein, appointed in 2006 by PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas to the position of most senior religious leader in the PA, told a conference of "Muslim scholars and delegations from over 46 countries" that Israel must be destroyed in the name of Islam:

"The land of Palestine is waqf (i.e., inalienable religious endowment in Islamic law). It must not be relinquished nor must any part of it be sold... It is the duty of the leaders of the [Islamic] nation and its peoples to liberate Palestine and Jerusalem."

[Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, March 23, 2015]

This statement - that according to Islamic law "Palestine is waqf... and must not be relinquished," but should be "liberated" - imposes prohibitions and obligations on all Muslims. First, according to the PA religious leader, all Muslims are prohibited from recognizing Israel's existence or signing a genuine and permanent peace treaty with Israel that "relinquishes any part" of "Palestine," meaning all of Israel. Second, he told the world's Muslim delegations that they and all Muslims have a religious obligation to "liberate Palestine" - meaning to destroy Israel.Palestinian Media Watch recently reported that a similar statement was made by Mahmoud Abbas' Advisor on Religious and Islamic AffairsMahmoud Al-Habbash, the second most important religious leader in the PA:

"The entire land of Palestine (i.e., includes all of Israel) is waqf (i.e., an inalienable religious endowment in Islamic law) and is blessed land... It is prohibited to sell, bestow ownership or facilitate the occupation of even a millimeter of it."

[Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, Oct. 22, 2014]

The PA is increasingly adopting Hamas' ideology prohibiting recognition of Israel and demanding its destruction, not only in the name of Palestinian nationalism, but in the name of Islam. The language used by both the Mufti and Abbas' advisor is almost identical to the language in Hamas' charter:

"The Islamic Resistance Movement [Hamas] believes that the land of Palestine is an Islamic waqf consecrated for future Moslem generations until Judgment Day. It, or any part of it, should not be squandered: it, or any part of it, should not be given up."

[Hamas Charter, Article Eleven]

The latest PCPSR poll of Palestinian Arabs buried these little nuggets in its findings, without giving a further breakdown:

. When asked about the long term aspiration of the PA and the PLO, 63% said that it is to recover all or parts of the land occupied in 1967 while 28% said it was to conquer the state of Israel or conquer the state of Israel and kill most of the Jews.

- A majority of 74% favors Hamas way of resisting occupation... Furthermore, 56% favor the transfer of Hamas’ armed approach to the West Bank.

So what's the difference between Hamas and Fatah again?

Comment from the WHITE HOUSE: "These comments Only Meant For 'Domestic Audience' "

Iran's power rises, with or without deal

By Stephen Collinson, CNN    11:38 AM ET, Tue March31, 2015

Washington (CNN)Deal or no deal in the Iranian nuclear talks, Tehran is already behaving like it's made a killing.  Sure, U.S. and international sanctions inflicted staggering damage on Iran's economy, convincing the longtime American foe to join talks aimed at limiting its nuclear program. Those talks face an important Tuesday night deadline.  But it's not just Iran's nuclear aspirations that have everyone's attention -- though just the fact that Iranian officials are at the table with the world's most powerful countries has elevated Iran's international status. Getting the bomb would greatly magnify its regional -- even global -- role, but Tehran is also making big moves in a tumultuous Great Game of Middle East geopolitics that is challenging U.S influence and prestige and chilling Washington's allies. 

As it engages on its nuclear program, Tehran has exploited the divisions of the Arab Spring and the power vacuum of America's downgraded involvement in the region. It has also taken advantage of the leeway the United States offered in prioritizing a nuclear deal over attempts to restrain Tehran's proxies that could risk breaking up the negotiations.  The result is that Iran -- often through militant groups it sponsors -- has become a key player in conflicts in neighboring states all the way to the edge of the Mediterranean.  Its drive for regional pre-eminence is becoming an increasing problem for the Obama administration as it contemplates selling a nuclear deal -- which is already drawing considerable skepticism -- to opponents in Congress and to anxious allies like Saudi Arabia and Israel, who are watching Iran's maneuvering up close.

Critics are accusing President Barack Obama of turning a blind eye toward Iran's nefarious motives and proxy wars in the Middle East to safeguard a legacy-enhancing push for a deal that could lift his presidency's historic potential after decades of hostility between Washington and Tehran.  ( my two-cents worth...may be he wants to justify his nobel peace prize...lol)

They fear Iran is not only about to walk away with a deal that leaves its nuclear infrastructure intact, but that it is also playing the United States for a fool by using the talks to shield its hegemonic ambitions in the Middle East.  "They have completely schooled the American and European diplomats," said Michael Rubin, an Iran analyst and critic of the administration at the American Enterprise Institute.  "The Iranians used to brag that they play chess and we play checkers. It turns out that they play chess, while we play solitaire."

Iranian proxies

Iran has used its Revolutionary Guard Corps and a host of proxies to fill the power gap left by the U.S. departure from Iraq and the political tumult stirred by the collapse of authoritarian governments felled by now-defunct popular reform movements.  "Iran was destined to expand its influence one way or the other, and the U.S. was not going to prevent that, especially because of the cost involved in trying to pacify Iraq," said Reva Bhalla, vice president of global analysis at Stratfor, a global intelligence and advisory firm.  "Iran benefited from the Arab Spring as well."

Iran has also seen an opportunity in the U.S.'s shifting policies and interests in the region. The George W. Bush administration pushed out the regional strongman in Iraq, Saddam Hussein, who kept Iran in check through a hostile balance-of-power arrangement. The subsequent collapse of the Iraqi state left a festering sectarian stew that Tehran was quick to use to forge links in Shiite areas.

And Obama, in addition to withdrawing American forces from Iraq, has sought a lighter touch in hot spots like Syria, Yemen and Libya, where chaos has created an opening for outside fighters and radical domestic groups to swoop in.  The regional meltdown that has seen governance collapse and national borders redrawn on sectarian lines has provided a potent breeding ground for radical, stateless Islamic groups — like ISIS -- to grow and threaten both U.S. and Iranian national interests.  So the Obama administration also sees a common interest with Iran in fighting ISIS. But some critics say its desire to do so has blinded it to Iran's activities elsewhere.

White House assessments

distress but not disrespect

This has left the White House in the uncomfortable position of having to explain why the United States appears to be tacitly cooperating with Iran, with which it has waged a de facto ideological war for 30 years.  Senior U.S. officials deny they are going soft on Iran to keep Tehran sweet on nuclear talks. They say the negotiations are walled off from concerns about Iran's aggressive moves elsewhere. And they point out that Tehran would be much more dangerous to its neighbors if it were able to build a bomb.

"Even if a nuclear deal is reached, our concerns about Iran's behavior in the region and around the world will endure," White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough told the J Street policy conference last week, slamming Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism, a proliferator and a gross violator of human rights that seeks to destabilize its neighbors.  Several U.S. allies in the region, watching Iran's growing influence, worry that whatever berth the United States is giving Iran, it goes well beyond the nuclear talks and the fight against ISIS.  Instead, they fear the beginning of a wider détente with Iran that some are calling a "Persian pivot."

Saudi concerns

Saudi Ambassador to the United States Adel al-Jubeir told CNN that Riyadh was "concerned about the interference by Iran in the affairs of other countries in the region, whether it is in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen."  Obama's domestic foes are less diplomatic.  "I heard repeatedly from leaders in the region that they believe we are forming some kind of Faustian bargain with the Iranians which would then lead to great danger to those countries," Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona said last week.  "They believe that we are siding with Iran."  The former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, warned on Fox News on Sunday that Iran was "on the march" across the Middle East and that the administration response was one of "willful ignorance."  But a senior Obama administration official on Monday denied that Washington wanted the wider accommodation with Iran that its allies fear.

"The critics look at this as some part of a grand détente or reconciliation -- that by getting this deal we will turn another cheek or grant them carte blanche," said the official, who was not authorized to talk publicly about the nuclear talks.

"We have been and we remain just as concerned."

And at the same time that it holds marathon talks with Iran, Washington is backing its ally Saudi Arabia and a Sunni coalition that is bombarding Iranian-backed Shiite Houthi militias in Yemen.  In Syria, the United States wants close Iranian ally President Bashar al-Assad gone after his murderous rampage against his own people.  But many Washington observers believe the United States has stepped back from the region and interpret the increasingly assertive military actions of Sunni states such as Saudi Arabia and Egypt as a sign that they feel Iran already has the upper hand. They see the Saudi coalition's assault on the Houthis as a signal, not just to Iran, but to Washington.

"Our traditional Arab allies are apoplectic. We are involved against ISIS in Syria but essentially did nothing in the past three years as the Houthis took over Yemen," said David Schenker, a former Bush administration official now with the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.  The Saudis are using Yemen to send messages "to Iran and to a lesser extent to us about their lack of confidence in the American security blanket being able to protect them from Iran's machinations in the region," said Stephen Seche, a former U.S. Ambassador to Yemen.

The White House said it has no illusions on Iran's motives, but argued that the painful lessons of the last decade show a huge U.S. military operation in the Middle East is unlikely to reshape its politics.  "It's definitely a regional power struggle," said the senior administration official, stressing that Iran's strategy dates from well before either the Arab Spring or the Iraq war, all the way back to the 1979 Islamic Revolution itself.  "It's a geostrategic play to use these groups as pressure points, in some cases playing on Shiite grievances but also just to increase pressure on the Saudi border," said the official.

the sun is setting in the west and rising in the east

The administration insists that a large-scale reintroduction of U.S. forces to the Middle East is not the correct policy response.  "It is going to be dictated by individual countries and the particular circumstances and what is the U.S. interest there," the official said.  And the administration is not alone in believing the United States has a limited ability to influence what happens in the region.  "We can do things at the margins to help this side, reinforce that side, train another, arm another. So the U.S. position is likely to be quite modest," said Richard Haass, chairman of the Council of Foreign Relations.  And Justin Logan, a specialist in geopolitics at the Cato Institute, warned that the United States must not get involved in the "pathological politics" of the region.  The idea that a proxy struggle between the Gulf Arabs and the Iranians can be effectively managed by the United States defies both logic and history," he said.

In Secret Meeting, Obama Meets with Muslim Leaders with Ties to Terror

By Raphael Poch February 18, 2015 , 7:30 am

“As the proverb of the ancients says: Wickedness proceeds from the wicked, but my hand shall not be upon you.” (1 Samuel 24:13)

US President Barack Obama secretly met two weeks ago with leaders who have disturbingly close ties with the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist organization, the Clarion Project reported.  The meeting took place between Islamic leaders and various members of the White House administration who gathered to draft responses to incidents that Muslims consider offensive.  White House officials initially refused to publicize the list of Islamic leaders who met with the president and other members of the administration including Obama’s senior adviser Valerie Jarrett, National Security Adviser Susan E. Rice and Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes.

Among the guests who visited with the president was Azhar Azeez, president of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). Azeez has deep connections to the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist organization, as does his society.  According to declassified FBI document, the ISNA was categorized as a front group for the Muslim Brotherhood as early as 1987. Past leaders of ISNA include, Abdurrahman Alamoudi, who was convicted on terrorism related charges in 2004  In 2007, ISNA was designated as an unindicted co-conspirator in the trial of the Holy Land Foundation, a charity shut down by the US government for financing Hamas. The US Departmentof Justice listed ISNA as one of the “individuals/entities who are and/or were members of the US Muslim Brotherhood.”

Another member present at the meeting was Hoda Elshishtawy of the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), which, similarly to the ISNA, was founded by members of the Muslim Brotherhood and has openly called for Israel to be added to a list of states that sponsor terror.  MPAC has also often publicly endorsed the rejection of the designation of Hezbollah and Hamas as terrorist organizations by the US.  It is noteworthy to add that many, if not most of, the participants at the meeting are considered to be “moderate Muslims” by the US administration, some of them even sitting on staff of the Department for Homeland Security. One such person is Imam Mohamed Magid of the ADAMS Mosque in Sterling, Virginia. In March 2002, federal agents raided the offices of many Northern Virginia-based Muslim organizations, including ADAMS, on suspicion that they were providing material support to terrorists.

      Imam Mohamed Magid  

While the mosque and Magid are suspected of having ties to terrorism, those suspicions have been cast aside in favor of a more close knit relationship between the Obama administration and Magid.  Magid has been hailed as a moderate and was appointed to serve on the Department of Homeland Security’s Countering Violent Extremism Working Group in 2011 by Obama. In this position, Magid was authorized to train and advise personnel affiliated with the FBI and other federal agencies and soon became a regular visitor to the White House. He is also a former president of the ISNA.

The report also revealed that “Magid signed a letter in September 2014 alongside other Islamist leaders which condemned the Islamic State while asserting the need for an Islamic Caliphate and supporting the hudud punishments of sharia law, which include amputation, flogging and the execution of apostates. The letter said that a person could only be regarded as an apostate if the person ‘openly declares disbelief.’”

White House staff said that Obama reiterated at the meeting “his administration’s commitment to safeguarding civil rights through hate crimes prosecutions and civil enforcement actions,” The Washington Times reported.  The president’s meeting with members of the Muslim community who have known ties to terror raised questions amongst political observers as to what the president is truly planning and why men who have such strong ties to terror are given access to the leader of the free world.

PRES. HUSSEIN OBAMA...have you ever heard of the Bab-el-Mandeb Straits?

PRES. HUSSEIN OBAMA...

have you ever heard of the Bab-el-Mandeb Straits? 

BIBI WARNS THE WORLD REGARDING THE TRUE INTENTIONS OF IRAN

The Bab-el-Mandeb is a strait located between Yemen on the Arabian Peninsula, and Djibouti and Eritrea in the Horn of Africa. It connects the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden. "Bab-el-Mandeb" means "Gateway of anguish", or "Gateway of tears"; the strait derives its name from the dangers attending its navigation.  The Bab-el-Mandeb acts as a strategic link between the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, via the Red Sea and the Suez Canal. In 2006, an estimated 3.3 million barrels (520,000 m³) of oil passed through the strait per day, out of a world total of about 43 million barrels per day (6,800,000 m³/d) moved by tankers.  The distance across is about 20 miles (30 km) from Ras Menheli in Yemen to Ras Siyyan in Djibouti.  On February 22, 2008, it was revealed that a company owned by Tarek bin Laden (half-brother of you know who) is planning to build a bridge named Bridge of the Horns across the strait, linking Yemen with Djibouti.  Middle East Development LLC has issued a notice to construct a bridge passing across the Red Sea that would be the longest suspended passing in the world.  The project has been assigned to engineering company COWI in collaboration with architect studio Dissing+Weitling, both from Denmark.

Yesterday, during a speech regarding the developing agreement between Iran and the world powers, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu also addressed the recent developments in Yemen: “In parallel to the convergence towards this dangerous agreement, Iran’s agents in Yemen are conquering vast parts of the country and attempting to take over the strategic Bab-el-Mandeb straits, which could alter control over sailing and the world oil supply,” he stated. “After the Beirut-Damascus-Bagdad axis, Iran is attempting a pincer movement in the south as well, in order to take control and conquer the entire Middle East. The Iran-Lausanne-Yemen axis is very dangerous for humanity and must be stopped.”

Israel’s Interior Minister, Gilad Erdan, expressed optimism that there could still be time to influence the terms of the final deal, which had a deadline set for the end of June.

“It’s true that a deal is close, and there is a chance that an agreement on basic principles will be reached in the coming days,” Erdan told Army Radio. “But until the final agreement, which is supposed to be signed with Iran by the end of June, there are still a wide range of diplomatic options.”

“If, God forbid, it happens, Israel will also be required to reassess the whole resulting security situation,” he added.

It was established as the primary base in the region for the support of Operation Enduring Freedom - Horn of Africa (OEF-HOA). After negotiations between March and May 2001, the Djiboutian government allowed for the base's use by the U.S. and it now serves as the location from which U.S. and Coalition forces are operating in the Horn of Africa. The access agreement made by officials from the U.S. Embassy in Djibouti with the Djiboutian government allows for use of the camp, as well as a nearby airport and port facilities. According to a press report in October 2012, "Camp Lemonnier is the centerpiece of an expanding constellation of half a dozen U.S. drone and surveillance bases in Africa, created to combat a new generation of terrorist groups across the continent, from Mali to Libya to the Central African Republic."
