AP-Washington Post—Iran’s incoming president calls Israeli occupation of Palestine a ‘wound’:
Iran’s president-elect called Israel’s control of Jerusalem and Palestinian lands a “wound” for the Islamic world in relatively moderate remarks Friday that contrasted with the harsh rhetoric of his predecessor and other Iranian leaders.
Speaking to reporters during an annual pro-Palestinian rally, Hasan Rouhani said: “In our region and under occupation of Palestine and dear Jerusalem, there has been a wound on the body of the Islamic world.”
The comments, two days before Rouhani’s inauguration, were tame compared with those frequently made by outgoing President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad calling for Israel’s destruction. The country’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, once called the Jewish state a “cancer” that needed to be cut away.
A semiofficial Iranian news agency initially quoted Rouhani as calling Israel a “wound that should be removed.” That prompted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to retort that “the real face of Rouhani has been exposed earlier than expected.”
But the news agency, ISNA, later said it was a misquote, confirmed by state TV footage of Rouhani’s comment reviewed by The Associated Press. Netanyahu issued no statement on the corrected version.
Nevertheless, the mishap underscored the challenges facing the incoming president, who was elected in June with pledges to seek a calmer and more balanced outreach to the West.

Anne Bayefsky: Obama Using the UN to Bully Israel— The UN made me do it. That’s how Obama officials are explaining Secretary Kerry’s intense efforts to move Israel onto the front burner and shove over the bloody turmoil immediately affecting millions of Israel’s neighbors and the imminent catastrophe of an Iranian nuclear weapon.
Khaled Abu Toameh: Ramallah vs. the “Peace Process”—U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry’s strenuous efforts to resume peace talks between Israel and the PA led two Israeli Arab businessmen to take the initiative and open the first Fox clothing store in the West Bank, with PA permission. After investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in renovations and the training of employees, the two businessmen soon found themselves at the center of a protest organized by “anti-normalization” activists and journalists. Facing daily threats, including calls for fire-bombing the store, the two entrepreneurs called off the project, which would have provided jobs to nearly 150 Palestinians.
Aaron David Miller: Does John Kerry’s Peace Process Have a Chance?—Neither Abbas nor Netanyahu wants to say no to America’s top diplomat and take the blame for the collapse of negotiations. This proved sufficient to get them back to negotiations, but more will be required to keep them there, let alone to reach an accord. Right now, neither has enough incentives, disincentives, and an urgent desire or need to move forward boldly.
Prof. Abraham Ben-Zvi: Will these talks fail?— Past experience shows that every effort to broker between Israelis and Palestinians failed when it was too ambitious in scope. So what are the odds that John Kerry’s initiative will be any different?
Warren Manison: Impossibility of a Two State Solution— It should be obvious that a Two State solution is an impossibility. In one way or another, separate states with Jews and Arabs living side by side in peace, has been proposed and rejected by the Arab people. From this we should learn that when one fails to learn from history, one is doomed to repeat the same mistakes at increasing cost.
David M. Weinberg: Only if…—Only if Israel compromises and concedes a bit more can peace with the Palestinians become a possibility. Right?
Gil Troy: The Outrage Gap—Mahmoud Abbas recently told journalists: “In a final resolution, we would not see the presence of a single Israeli – civilian or soldier – on our lands.” Imagine the outrage if Benjamin Netanyahu had said such a thing about Arabs. Yet few mainstream media outlets decided this was news.
Michael Widlanski: Mahmoud Abbas: The Palestinian Authority’s Phony ‘Moderate’—Imagine what would happen if an Israeli—ANY Israeli—said that a final treaty between Israel and the Arabs would leave no Arabs living inside Israel. There would be riots in the Arab communities of Tel Aviv, Haifa, Lod, Ramla, and, of course, Jerusalem.
Sarah Honig: Another tack: Who’s the sucker?— Netanyahu is the poker player who was dealt a particularly atrocious hand, yet tries his darndest to stay in the game and pretend that he can actually avoid losing.
Eugene Kontorovich: Time for U.S. to Recognize Western Jerusalem as Israel—In its decision on the lawsuit challenging the U.S. State Department’s refusal to write “Israel” on passports of Americans born in Jerusalem, the federal Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia was right as a matter of constitutional law to affirm the president’s primacy in recognizing foreign governments. The court stressed that no U.S. government has ever recognized western Jerusalem as part of Israel – or any other country. Thus, the capital of the Jewish state has an absolutely unique status in U.S. law.

Hosea 10: 5-6
The inhabitants of Samaria will fear for the calf of Beth-aven. Indeed, its people will mourn for it, and its idolatrous priests will cry out over it, over its glory, since it has departed from it. The thing itself will be carried to Assyria as tribute to King Jareb; Ephraim will be seized with shame and Israel will be ashamed of its own counsel.

Blessings in the Book of Revelation is a book that you need to read, especially now. There are blessings throughout the Scriptures but Revelation is the only book in the Bible actually containing a specific blessing for reading it. It’s repeated twice, once at the beginning and again at the end. This is the reason that I believe Revelation should be the first step toward studying biblical prophecy. Though not easy to do, Revelation can be broken down and understood by anyone, not just the academic elite. So, Revelation’s blessings are for everyone. Click here to order the eBook.
