Jonathan Tobin—The Jewish problem with Judaism’s most sacred site:
In time for the Jewish calendar’s fall holiday season (Jews around the world are celebrating Sukkos—the feast of tabernacles—this week), The New York Times took up the delicate issue of Jerusalem’s Temple Mount where, we are told, troublemaking Jews are breaking the rules and making coexistence, if not peace, that much more difficult.
Since some Jewish extremists do foolishly dream of replacing the mosques that are atop the Mount (which looks down on the Western Wall) with a rebuilt Third Temple, a scheme that would set off a religious war no sane person would want, Israel has always sought to keep the peace in the city by limiting Jewish visits and prohibiting Jewish prayer there. So with increasing numbers of Jews wanting to look around and perhaps even surreptitiously utter a prayer, the conceit of the Times piece appears to be that this is just one more instance in which Israelis are giving their Arab neighbors a hard time and pushing them out of a city that is sacred to the three monotheistic faiths.

The Mount of Olives is across the Kidron Valley from the Temple Mount. In the media, it’s referred to as East Jerusalem along with other hot spots where manic Palestinians ply their craft. The Jewish graveyard on the Mount of Olives is a favorite attraction of Palestinian hooligans who for sport enjoy desecrating Jewish graves.

Max Boot: Rouhani Fever at the UN—I am old enough to remember how some hardline conservatives criticized Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher for concluding that Mikhail Gorbachev was someone they could do business with. For their temerity, Reagan and Thatcher were denounced in some quarters as dupes and sell-outs–but they were absolutely right: Gorbachev really was a new kind of Russian leader. Arms-control deals that had been concluded with his hardline predecessors were worthless, but Gorbachev really was interested in reducing tensions and cutting the USSR’s defense budget. Even so, Reagan didn’t give away the house–remember that he refused to trade away SDI (“Star Wars”) at the 1988 Reykjavik summit even in return for major cuts in nuclear forces.
Washington Post Editorial: Testing Iran’s Soft-Sell Strategy—Iranian President Rouhani has excited Iran-watchers in the West over the past several weeks with a charm offensive. But there has been no substance – and there is ample reason for skepticism that a reversal of Iran’s drive to achieve nuclear weapons capability is in the works.
Jeffrey Goldberg: Reasons Not to Trust Iran on Nukes—Rouhani obviously looks moderate when compared to Ahmadinejad, a Holocaust-denying lunatic. However, Rouhani hasn’t indicated that Iran is open to reversing course on its nuclear program. He has actually said that the regime will not even talk about suspending uranium enrichment.
Irwin Cotler: Questions for Iranian President Rouhani—Rouhani’s charm offensive, including the release of political prisoners, is belied by ongoing human rights violations as documented by Dr. Ahmed Shaheed, the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Iran. Prior to Rouhani’s election, Iran had the highest per-capita execution rate in the world. Since Rouhani’s election, executions have actually escalated, with some 100 Iranians executed in the past month. Moreover, a large number of prisoners are killed by the regime in secret, so the number of executions is almost certainly higher.
Prof. Abraham Ben-Zvi: Obama waves the white flag— Obama’s U.N. speech was marked by disillusionment and resignation to America’s fall from its position of world leader.
Lt. Col. (res.) Dr. Dany Shoham: Syria’s Chemical Weapons: Is Disarmament Possible?—The prospects are doubtful for implementing chemical disarmament in Syria. Appreciable portions of the chemical weapons arsenal have been trans-located, in part untraceably.
DEBKAfile: Why has Mahmoud Abbas given the nod to lone wolf Palestinian terror?— No word of condemnation has come from any Palestinian leader for the murders of two Israeli soldiers two days apart by West Bank Palestinians: Saturday, Sept. 21, Sgt. Tomer Hazan, 20, from Bat Yam, was found murdered in a water hole near the West Bank town of Qalqilya. Sunday, another 20-year old, 1st Sgt. Gal Koby from Tirat Hacarmel, was killed by a single Palestinian sniper’s bullet while on guard at the Tomb of the Patriarchs in Hebron. The silence from Ramallah is well-orchestrated, a signal that Mahmoud Abbas, chairman of the Palestinian Authority, is in favor of picking off Israeli soldiers every few days, so as to boost his hand in the US-sponsored negotiations with Israel.
Boaz Bismuth: The Muslim Brotherhood root canal— With the outlawing of the Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt is headed for an old-new future.
The Associated Press: Analysis: Obama opens UN talks— President Barack Obama opens meetings at the United Nations with diplomatic opportunities on three vexing issues: Iran’s disputed nuclear program, Syria’s chemical weapons use, and the elusive peace between Israel and the Palestinians. All three pathways are fraught with potential pitfalls and hinge on cooperation from often unreliable nations. Obama also risks being branded as naive and misguided if the efforts fail, particularly in Syria, where he’s used the prospect of diplomacy to put off a military strike in retaliation for a chemical weapons attack.
Dan Margalit: The stage is set, let the propaganda begin— With each U.N. gathering, new drama unfolds. Because this time it is all about Rouhani, Netanyahu will have to adapt.

Amos 2: 7-8
“These who pant after the [very] dust of the earth on the head of the helpless also turn aside the way of the humble; and a man and his father resort to the same girl In order to profane My holy name. On garments taken as pledges they stretch out beside every altar, and in the house of their God they drink the wine of those who have been fined.”

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.
