Yossi Melman—Turkey’s unprecedented act of betrayal against Israel:
In April 2012, Iran announced that it had uncovered a spy ring numbering 15 operatives working at the behest of Israel. Iranian authorities fingered the operatives as being responsible for the killings of nuclear scientists in recent years. Tehran had long suspected the Mossad as the mastermind of these operations. In announcing the arrests, Iran touted the apprehension of “Zionist spies” and the revelations regarding “Zionist” intelligence activity in a neighboring country.
The announcement, which didn’t garner much attention at the time, takes on added importance Thursday just hours after The Washington Post reported that Turkish intelligence revealed the identities of 10 Iranian spies working for Israel. According to the report, Iranian agents would meet with their Mossad handlers on Turkish soil.
This information was revealed by the newspaper’s senior foreign affairs analyst, David Ignatius, a journalist who is known to maintain extensive contacts with both the American and Israeli intelligence communities. If the report is accurate – and it is difficult to doubt the credibility of Ignatius’ sources – then we are talking about a very egregious – even unprecedented – act. In fact, this is the basest act of betrayal imaginable.

Reza Kahlili: Top Iranian Cleric: Nothing Ruled Out Against America— The recognition of Israel as illegitimate is one of the principles of Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution, and even today the Islamic Republic believes Israel must be destroyed, a senior Iranian cleric close to the supreme leader said Saturday night. Ayatollah Sayyid Ahmad Khatami, a member of the Assembly of Experts — the body that chooses the supreme leader — also condemned any effort for improved relations with America and warned that nothing is ruled out against the United States, according to Tasnim News Agency, a regime media outlet.
Elihu D. Richter: Rouhani’s Charm Offensive and Hitler’s Peace Speeches— The charm offensive of President Rouhani of Iran recalls the story of Hitler’s many conciliatory statements about peace in the eight years starting from when he became Chancellor in January 1933 up to the withdrawal of the British Forces from Dunkirk, in June 1941. During these years, there were those who interpreted these statements as evidence of benign intent, or at the minimum, the demands of a rational leader with rational aims for his country. Since the Ayatollahs came to power in 1979, the public statements from the Ayatollahs on Israel—the Lesser Satan, bear certain similarities to the peace speeches of Hitler. And there has been a marked similarity between the rhetoric of dehumanization, demonization and delegitimization of Jews by the Nazis and the same rhetoric directed at Israel by the Iranian leadership.
Dan Diker: Why Jordan relies on Israel to secure the Jordan Valley—A report last week in Ma’ariv that fundamental disagreement between Palestinian and Israeli negotiators over the future of the Jordan Valley may soon collapse peace talks comes as no surprise to Middle East observers. Palestinian rejection of Israel’s security requirement of an IDF presence along the Jordan River is not new. The Palestinian leadership rejected former prime minister Ehud Barak’s compromise offer at Camp David in 2000 to place Israeli security forces in the Jordan Valley on the soil of a prospective demilitarized Palestinian state. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s current defense claims and Barak’s previous security demands in the Jordan Valley can be considered minimal compared to former prime minister Yitzchak Rabin’s insistence on Israeli sovereignty in the Jordan Valley in order to defend Israel’s main airport and coastal cities.
Jonathan S. Tobin: Euros Don’t Care PA Steals Their Money—Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas was in Berlin this week and received the usual reception that he gets in European capitals. German Chancellor Angela Merkel criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, condemned Israeli settlement building and then vowed to continue funneling cash to the PA. The latter point is especially crucial because the PA dependent on European aid. But nowhere in Merkel’s remarks did the question of what exactly the PA does with all the funds poured into its coffers by Germany and the rest of the EU community.
Yaakov Lappin: Hamas Tunneling Its Way to Future Clash With Israel— On the face of it, Israel’s southern border with Gaza looks calm. But under the surface, signs are growing that Hamas is thinking ahead to when the current ceasefire will end, and is investing heavily in preparations for serious cross-border terror attacks on Israeli civilians and the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). The clearest indication that Hamas’s feverish terrorism industry is ticking along at full pace, despite the truce in place since November 2012, came this week, when the IDF announced that an attack tunnel stretching from Khan Younis, in southern Gaza, to Israel’s Eshkol region had been uncovered.
Shaul Bartal: The Palestinian Refugee Problem Resolved— During the 1948 war, some 600,000 Palestinian Arabs fled their homes to the neighboring Arab states or to parts of mandatory Palestine occupied by Arab states (the West Bank and Gaza). Likewise, within a few years after the establishment of the State of Israel, nearly all of the 850,000-strong Jewish population living in Arab states was either expelled or escaped with just their lives. Most made their way to Israel where they were resettled. While these latter facts may not be that well known, neither are they completely unfamiliar to students of the Middle East. What is less acknowledged, however, is the de facto agreement of Arab states to resettle Palestinian refugees in their respective territories, expressed in closed-door discussions at cease-fire committee meetings and other gatherings with Israeli representatives. Whether the Arab states properly represented the refugees or treated them and their descendants fairly is a matter for the Palestinians and their Arab brothers to adjudicate on their own.
Dr. Reuven Berko: The sound of despair— Whoever wants to understand just how dire the situation for Hamas is in the Gaza Strip needs to listen to the speech that was given by the organization’s Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh, a student of Sheikh Ahmed Yassin’s, on Saturday. It was a speech of defeat aimed at the flocks in Gaza, trying to lift their spirits. The speech was akin to the story of the besieged city which sent a laundry maiden to pour water over the wall, as if the city had plenty of water to spare…
Dan Margalit: The trial balloon method— The American administration clamored to deny an alarming report this weekend suggesting that the U.S. intends to unfreeze Iranian funds as a gesture toward the delegation from Tehran, as world powers try to convince Iran to abandon its nuclear program. The denial is a good thing: If the U.S. were to begin scaling back the economic siege on Iran before the first agreement was reached on the nuclear issue, the entire sanctions effort would collapse without even a single centrifuge pausing.
Michael Singh: Tehran’s choices—With the first round of nuclear talks with Iran’s new, and newly pragmatic, negotiating team in the books, the Washington policy debate about Iran has shifted from whether a deal is possible to what sort of deal is acceptable. While such discussions can often seem a miasma of centrifuge counts and enrichment levels, there are, in fact, two distinct paths to a nuclear deal with Iran. The first path is one in which Tehran would receive relief from sanctions in exchange for putting strict limits on its nuclear activities, such as restricting uranium enrichment to low levels. The success of such an agreement would depend on ensuring that Iran could not use declared nuclear activities as a cover for covert activities aimed at developing a nuclear weapon. It would also depend on ensuring that the deal was not easily reversible, so Tehran could not renege once pressure had been alleviated.
Doug Mainwaring: As It Turns Out, It Does Make a Difference— One key element in the national discussion about same sex-marriage has been its effect on children. Gay marriage proponents have insisted that scientific studies lead to the irrefutable conclusion that children raised by same-sex couples do just as well as those raised in homes with a mom and a dad. That assertion is now being challenged by a vast new scientific study, conducted by Douglas W. Allen of Simon Fraser University, British Columbia, Canada.

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.
