Ilan Ben Zion—Report: Palestinians Make Stiff Demands for Peace Deal:
The Palestinian Authority demands that any land swap with Israel as part of a peace deal not exceed 1.9 percent of the West Bank, less than half of the land necessary to incorporate the lion’s share of settlers, according to details leaked to Channel 2 by a disgruntled Palestinian official on Sunday.
According to the report, the Palestinians are also insisting that they gain control over water, and control at their sides of the Dead Sea and border crossings; that a Palestinian state be able to sign agreements with other states without Israeli intervention; that Israel release all Palestinian prisoners it holds; and that all Palestinian refugees and their descendants be granted the right to choose to live in Israel or the Palestinian territories as part of a final agreement.
The report made no mention of Israel’s position on these issues, but the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been wary of a Palestinian state exercising full sovereign powers that might threaten Israeli security, and all Israeli governments have rejected the possibility of anything other than a token influx of Palestinian refugees, for fear of remaking the demographic balance of the Jewish state.

Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu: Iran Has No Right to Enrich Uranium—Prime Minister Netanyahu told the Israeli Cabinet on Sunday: “Regarding Iran, we are not impressed by the discussion surrounding the issue of 20% enrichment….Its importance is superfluous as a result of the improvements the Iranians have made in the past year which allow them to jump over the barrier of 20% enrichment and proceed directly from 3.5% enrichment to 90% within weeks.”
Gerald Honigman: Israel–The Cause Of World War III (Or…The Return Of Torquemada)—Now, I’m not complaining, mind you…. There’s an expression, “If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.” I get it. But it doesn’t make what I’m about to share with you any less aggravating. Just within the last few weeks, while engaged in several different programs on the Middle East, I had three men come up to me with their explanation of all of the region’s woes. All were intelligent individuals. I assessed this after long conversations with them. Their conclusion…. It’s all Israel’s fault.
Elliott Abrams: Obama’s ‘new’ Mideast policy: Modesty or pullback?— Saturday’s New York Times carries a remarkable story about the “new” Obama Middle East policy, based on interviews with National Security Advisor Susan Rice. The Times describes the policy as “modest,” but that is not the right word. The policy defines an American abandonment of leadership in the region.
Jonathan S. Tobin: Obama’s “Modest Strategy” Good For Putin— For those seeking an explanation for the puzzling turn that American foreign policy has taken during Barack Obama’s second term, the New York Times has one today. In a front-page feature in their Sunday edition, the Times’ Mark Landler provides National Security Advisor Susan Rice with the kind of puff piece the paper’s readers have come to expect when such analyses of administration policy are provided. Rice’s “blueprint” for a change from the president’s more ambitious goals of his first term was, we are told, formed at a series of Saturday morning bull sessions where those involved decided that they wanted to “avoid having events in the Middle East swallow [Obama’s] foreign policy agenda, as it had those of presidents before him.” So they chucked the “freedom agenda” of George W. Bush that Obama had tentatively embraced at the time of the outbreak of the Arab Spring protests as well as any interest in Egypt. As the Times reported: At the United Nations last month, Mr. Obama laid out the priorities he has adopted as a result of the review. The United States, he declared, would focus on negotiating a nuclear deal with Iran, brokering peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians and mitigating the strife in Syria. Everything else would take a back seat.
Jonathan S. Tobin: Palestinian Terms Leave Little to Talk About—While Israelis and Palestinians managed to keep their mouths shut about what’s been discussed since they agreed to start meeting again in July, the scoop by Israel’s Channel 2 gives us a lot more insight as to where the parties stand. The Palestinians are not prepared to compromise on their ability to militarize their state or join in offensive alliances against Israel. They are also insisting that the millions of descendants of the Arab refugees of the 1948 War of Independence be allowed to “return” to Israel and effectively end the existence of the Jewish state.
Anne Bayefsky: Discrimination Against Israel at UN Human Rights Council—The UN is gearing up for yet another attack upon Israel – the so-called “Universal Periodic Review” (UPR) in Geneva on October 29, 2013, under the auspices of the UN Human Rights Council. The Council’s regular agenda for every session contains one item for censuring Israel alone, and one general item for all other 192 UN countries combined. 35% of all the resolutions the Council has passed that are critical of specific states have been directed at Israel – compared to nothing about Russia, China, or Saudi Arabia.
Benedetta Berti: The Road to Geneva 2 and the Challenges to a Negotiated Political Solution in Syria— The Syrian conflict has long since descended into a protracted and bloody civil war, with the regime and the diverse groups that comprise the opposition locked in a painful stalemate, unable to tip the military balance of power in anyone’s favor. The Geneva 2 negotiations, reportedly scheduled to take place in late November 2013, should be seen in light of this reality, underscoring the importance of ending the conflict through a political deal. Indeed, the notion of renewing the efforts launched in Geneva in June 2012 has gained additional traction in the weeks following the US-Russia entente on Syria’s chemical weapons, with the UN Security Council endorsing the implementation of the June 2012 plan in Resolution 2128 on Syria’s chemical arsenal. But even with these renewed international efforts, the challenges ahead are monumental.
Gary C. Gambill: Partitioning Syria— After two-and-a-half years of steadily metastasizing violence in Syria, the harsh reality is that the country isn’t going to become a stable, unified state again in the foreseeable future, let alone a remotely democratic one. It may be time to start thinking about alternatives. Syria has already fragmented into increasingly well-defined enclaves. A multiplicity of Sunni Arab rebels control large swaths of the north and east, while the regime is dominant in the capital and major cities, the largely non-Sunni coastal provinces, and a corridor connecting them. Kurds control small border areas in the far northeast. The Druze, heavily concentrated in southwest Syria, have formed militias to fend off rebel incursions, while tending otherwise toward neutrality. Although the rebels are likely to eventually bring down the minoritarian regime of President Bashar Assad, as Michael O’Hanlon helpfully analogizes, the fall of Damascus will “no more end the war in Syria than the overthrow of Saddam in 2003 brought stability to Iraq.” Pro-regime forces will fall back toward the coast, Kurds and Druze will fortify their enclaves, and the Sunni rebels will fight each other to reclaim what’s left of the Syrian capital.
Wesley Pruden: It’s not arrogance, just stupidity—The Germans are in a frenzy over the disclosure that the National Security Agency (NSA) tapped Angela Merkel’s private telephone, along with the telephones of three dozen other world leaders. It’s an embarrassment of the second magnitude, but all Barack Obama knows about it is what he reads in the newspapers.
Morton A. Klein and Daniel Mandel: Peace Talks Will Fail Because Palestinians Don’t Want Peace— Israel and Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah-controlled Palestinian Authority (PA) are engaging in negotiations refused for years by the PA. Yet, only weeks ago, the PA Minister of Religious Affairs, Mahmoud Al-Habbash, delivered a paean to Sheikh Ahmad Yassin, founder and leader of Hamas, the terrorist organization that has murdered hundreds of Israelis in scores of suicide bombings, calling him a Palestinian “icon.” How can peace talks and glorifying a terrorist chieftain coexist in the PA? Al-Habbash gave us the answer this summer, when he justified this return to diplomacy by reference to something well-known to his mosque audience––the 628 Treaty of Hudabiyyah.

Amos 8: 7-9
Yahweh has sworn by the pride of Jacob, “Indeed, I will never forget any of their deeds. Because of this will not the land quake and everyone who dwells in it mourn? Indeed, all of it will rise up like the Nile, and it will be tossed about and subside like the Nile of Egypt. It will come about in that day,” declares the Lord Yahweh, “That I will make the sun go down at noon and make the earth dark in broad daylight.”

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.
