Jerusalem Post Editorial—Egypt, US aid and Israel:
In mid-August, US President Barack Obama interrupted a golfing trip at Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts to condemn the military junta in Egypt for its violent attack on the Muslim Brotherhood government leaders. Obama canceled a series of joint American-Egyptian military exercises called “Bright Star.”
But he refrained from using the “coup” word for what had happened in Egypt in July (though that is it was), because doing so would have entailed calling in question America’s $1.5 billion annual aid package to the most populous Arab state.
Now, as America faces huge budgetary woes and increasingly looks to scale down its involvement in our region, the White House is considering cutting, if not halting, US economic and military aid to Egypt.
This would be a major turnaround in consecutive administrations’ policy. The Reagan administration did not cut off aid in 1981 after the assassination of Egyptian president Anwar Sadat. The Bush administration refrained from punishing Hosni Mubarak when, in defiance of a promise to Washington, he rigged elections and sent thugs to beat and kill protesters. Nor did Obama cut US aid after the ouster of Mubarak in 2011.

Avi Issacharoff: A new kind of terrorism—In the aftermath of the murder overnight Thursday of retired IDF colonel Seraiah Ofer in the Jordan Valley, early indications suggest that the incident was the latest in a series of sporadic terror attacks carried out by assailants using improvised weapons rather than by organized terror groups. Monique Mor, Ofer’s wife, who heard the assailants speaking outside their home in the Brosh Habika vacation village late Thursday, said they used axes and iron bars to carry out the killing — not “classic” murder weapons.
Victor Davis Hanson: Netanyahu and the End of Days—The idea of a preemptory war to disarm Iran seems to us apocalyptic. But then, we are a nation of 314 million, not 8 million; the winner of World War II, not nearly wiped out by it; surrounded by two wide oceans, not 300 million hostile neighbors; and out of Iranian missile range, not well within it. We can be wrong about Mr. Rouhani without lethal consequences. Mr. Netanyahu reviews history and concludes that he has no such margin of error.
Boaz Bismuth: Washington is still dreaming— What else needs to happen for the Americans to finally understand what region we live in, and how there are places in the world where the values and rules that they hold so dearly do not necessarily hold sway?
Angus McDowall: Saudis Brace for “Nightmare” of U.S.-Iran Rapprochement—Engaged in what they see as a life-and-death struggle for the future of the Middle East with arch-rival Iran, Saudi rulers are furious that the UN has taken no action over Syria, where they and Tehran back opposing sides. The U.S.-Saudi alliance is not about to break, but Riyadh is willing to defy Washington in defense of its regional interests.
Yaakov Lappin: Israel’s Final Warning on Iran—The coming weeks probably represent the last opportunity for Iran and the international community to reach an enforceable deal that will dismantle Tehran’s nuclear weapons program, before Israel concludes that time has run out, and that Iran has gotten too close to creating its first atomic bombs. Despite Iranian President Rouhani’s charm offensive, so far not a single uranium-enriching centrifuge has stopped spinning. Iran has already amassed enough low-enriched uranium for the production of seven to nine atomic bombs.
Vivian Bercovici: Iran’s “Charm Offensive” Not to Be Trusted—Since the Islamic Revolution of 1979, successive mullahs have adhered unwaveringly to the belief that the West is evil and bent on destroying the current regime. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic since 1989, is the master puppeteer; President Rouhani is merely the hapless marionette. And to Khamenei, the Western world – and America in particular – is decadent, in decline and beholden to a global Zionist conspiracy.
James Lunney: Time to reexamine the path to peace— First, the armistice lines of ‘67 were never intended to determine national boundaries; that was left to be worked out through negotiation. The Commission puts itself in the position of predetermining the outcome of such negotiations at Israel’s expense. Second, the EU has no such measures against other nations involved in territorial disputes (Western Sahara, Kashmir), even involving its own member states (Cyprus). Third, just one of the industrial zones, Barkan, near Ariel, employs about 7,000 people, roughly half Palestinians who pay taxes to the Palestinian Authority and earn the same wages and benefits as their Israeli counterparts as prescribed by Israeli law. That’s two to three times the wage prospects elsewhere in the disputed territories. If the EU initiatives were effective, it would hurt the very people they are proposing to help the most. Indeed, it is in working together that relationships of mutual respect, co-operation, friendship and trust are being forged. This dynamic is something that a genuine peace process and genuine peace partners should be striving to advance.
Yoram Ettinger: The two-way US-Israel street— In 2013, the combusting Arab street highlights Israel as the only stable, reliable, predictable, capable, democratic and unconditional Middle Eastern ally of the U.S.
Emily Amrousi: We are all one— Every Jew bothers someone. To the world, we are all settlers, no matter where in Israel we live.
Elder of Ziyon: The Red Cross Displays Blatant Anti-Israel Bias— A couple of years ago, the International Committee of the Red Cross put a bunch of international law scholars in a room ,and they all discussed “Occupation and Other Forms of Administration of Foreign Territory.” One very interesting part of the resulting publication is that the experts not only discussed what factors make a territory legally occupied, but also what factors are necessary to end occupation.

Amos 4: 11-13
“I overthrew you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were like a firebrand snatched from a blaze; yet you have not returned to Me,” declares Yahweh. “Therefore thus I will do to you, O Israel; because I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, O Israel. For behold, He who forms mountains and creates the wind and declares to man what are His thoughts, He who makes dawn into darkness and treads on the high places of the earth, Yahweh Elohim Sabaoth is His name.”

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.
