Melanie Phillips—World saved? Hardly. More a final countdown to nuclear blackmail and war:
One by one, the commentators have today fallen like dominoes. Presented with the transparent victory by Iran over the rest of the world at Geneva, they have eagerly swallowed the line they have been fed that this is a ‘historic’ step towards peace with Iran whose nuclear wings have now been clipped.
Journalists who would normally ask themselves ‘why is this lying bastard lying to me?’ if a western politician merely said ‘hello, nice day isn’t it’ (apart, of course, from The One) have suspended all independent powers of observation and thought over this risible farce of a deal.
Viewing it through the prism of ‘after-Iraq-don’t-give me-any-more-lies-about-Islamic-terror/anything-that-sounds-like-compromise-and-lets-us-put-our-heads-back-in-the-sand-must-be-good/war-with-Iran-is-sooo-much-more-terrifying-than-a-nuclear-Iran/new-Iranian-President-Rouhani-sounds-charming-and-moderate-so-phew!-we-can-believe-anything-that-he-says/anything-Benjamin-Netanyahu-is-against-I’m-for’, the chattering classes have apparently decided that yup, this really is peace in our time and any comparison with you-know-what in 1938 is well, just hysterical, and anyway we’ve had it up to here with Israel and they can just shut up.

Dan Margalit: Obama has accepted a nuclear Iran— The interim deal on Iran’s nuclear program has upgraded the level of discussions of its significance in the defense establishment, in academia and in joint seminars for both communities. First because the agreement is important, and second because Iran experts are unable to reach a consensus on the deal’s meaning for the future of dialogue with Tehran. The more facts that come to light from the negotiations in Geneva, the more the agreement appears to resemble Swiss cheese. There are many holes in the agreement as well as some serious vagueness. Barack Obama and John Kerry are not persuading the average American that this was any kind of achievement. They simply assume that most of the American public are willing to have their leaders deceive them. This is what the fight is about on Capitol Hill. In the present round, Israel is not holding back its criticism of the agreement, but neither is it taking steps against the While House.
Richard Baehr: Iran is happy. Next up: The Palestinians— In the inverted worldview of President Barack Obama, the problem with Iran’s nuclear program was most of all that Israel threatened to attack it. Such an event would have been a catastrophe for Obama, who has been “outreaching” to Iran for the entirety of his term, and negotiating with the Iranian regime behind the backs of all of America’s presumed allies for more than a year. With a complete drawdown of U.S. forces from Iraq accomplished, and one in Afghanistan near complete, a new broader conflict in the region that an Israeli attack might precipitate, drawing Americans back into the fighting, had to be prevented.
Jonathan Spyer: U.S. Blindspot Shows on the Iran Nuclear Deal—The newly announced deal on the Iranian nuclear program appears to be the outcome of a long, unseen, bilateral negotiation between the U.S. and Iran. The present U.S. administration is simply unconvinced that Iran’s regional ambitions represent a dangerous destabilizing force. This blindspot is strange. The evidence is plain to see: Iran is an active participant in the Syrian civil war. It dominates Lebanon through Hizbullah. It is closely allied with the government in Iraq. It is engaged in subversion in Bahrain, north Yemen, Kuwait and eastern Saudi Arabia. It actively sponsors Palestinian terror groups engaged in violence against Israel – most importantly Islamic Jihad and Hamas, but also elements within Fatah. The nuclear program is intended to render Iran invulnerable to any serious action to resist or turn back its push for regional domination.
Yoram Ettinger: The Iran nuclear agreement and the common sense test— Contrary to conventional “wisdom,” Iran considers the U.S. and the Arab oil-producing Gulf States — not Israel — the primary target for its nuclear capabilities. Iran pursues nuclear mega-capabilities to advance its mega-goal (domination of the Gulf and Sunni Islam), by removing the mega-obstacle (U.S. power projection), irrespective of Israel’s existence and policies, the Arab-Israeli conflict or the Palestinian issue.
Avi Issacharoff: How U.S. Diplomacy Is Empowering Iran—Not only has the six-month interim agreement not yet come into effect, but also Iran is free to proceed with its military program at full speed until the deal’s final “technical” details have been worked out. Experts have also said the agreement leaves the Iranians the ability to manufacture crucial components for their nuclear program outside the Arak facility and install them if the site is reopened. According to Prof. Asher Susser of the Dayan Center for Middle Eastern and African Studies at Tel Aviv University: “An important historical shift is now reaching its climax. The Middle East’s center has shifted from the Arab countries to the Persian Gulf. And when the U.S. permits Iranian hegemony, it projects onto the situation in Syria, Iraq and other places.”
Yossi Klein Halevi: Israel Takes for Granted that the Iranians Will Cheat on Nukes—There are only two credible obstacles to an Iranian bomb: economic sanctions and the possibility of an Israeli military strike. The deal signed with the Iranian regime threatens both. Israelis note that the interim deal doesn’t cover inspections of Iran’s nuclear weaponization program, including fuses, timers and metallurgy, which will no doubt continue apace. And Israel takes for granted that the Iranians will persist in doing what they’ve done all along: lie and cheat, but this time under the cover of a deal. In every previous round of negotiations, after all, the Iranians continued building secret facilities.
Prof. Abraham Ben-Zvi: Uncle Sam doesn’t want you— On September 12, 1946, political history was made in the United States. In a dramatic speech at New York’s Madison Square Garden, then-Commerce Secretary Henry Wallace broke ranks with President Harry Truman and the political mainstream at the time. This was a political zeitgeist that had crystallized in the wake of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, which was a major blow that had befallen the complacent Americans on December 7, 1941. That was the day on which the superpower would become more involved both diplomatically and militarily in world affairs in order to ensure that the global balance of power would not be titled to its disadvantage. It was also to ensure that the U.S. would succeed in its mission to thwart any attempt to undermine the foundations of the world order that had taken shape at the conclusion of World War II.
David Horovitz: What Brought a Palestinian to Murder a Sleeping Israeli?—Eden Atias, conscripted into the Israeli army just two weeks earlier, was fast asleep in his seat on a bus inside Israel when he was knifed over and over by Hussein Rawarda, a Palestinian consumed with hate who happened to be sitting next to him. This assault demonstrates an atmosphere and a mindset evidently prevalent among at least some Palestinians in the West Bank that leaves no room for optimism in the short-term. Rawarda deliberately ended the short life of a young man about whom he knew nothing, who had never done him any harm. Killed Eden Atias because he was an Israeli. Killed him because the opportunity to kill him presented itself. Right now, day after day – in Gaza and the West Bank, and in countries all across the region – millions of young minds like that of Hussein Rawarda are being gradually poisoned. Children are being persuaded by those they trust that all Israelis, most certainly including uniformed young Israelis helpfully asleep on the bus, must be culled.
Youngho Kim: North Korea Offers Lessons for Iran Nuclear Talks— Recent negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program failed to reach a comprehensive agreement. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, however, remains determined to move forward despite congressional misgivings. These nuclear negotiations with Iran are reminiscent of North Korea and the Six-Party Talks. It has been 10 years since the U.S., North Korea, South Korea, China, Japan, and Russia first sat at the negotiation table over Pyongyang’s nuclear program. However, the Six-Party Talks never achieved their aim of denuclearizing North Korea, since Pyongyang never implemented its commitments. North Korea has proposed coming back to the negotiating table but as an acknowledged nuclear state. Under those circumstances, the U.S. has no chance of achieving great success.
Dan Margalit: Brussels sprouts an agreement – at a price— In the nick of time, after the door had already been shut but just before it would have been locked, the European Union agreed to let Israel be part of the Horizon 2020 Initiative, which is the lifeblood of the Israeli scientific community. At the 11th hour, academia’s heavyweights — Professor Ruth Arnon, Professor Manuel Trajtenberg and Professor Dan Shechtman — scrambled to sound the alarm, warning the government that taking no action would deal some 2,000 Israeli scientists a devastating blow for generations to come. The way things unfolded in this saga — which could have resulted in some 1.3 billion euros being withheld from Israeli labs — merits a meticulous analysis.

Micah 2: 12-13
“I will surely assemble all of you, Jacob, I will surely gather the remnant of Israel. I will put them together like sheep in the fold; like a flock in the midst of its pasture they will be noisy with men. The breaker goes up before them; they break out, pass through the gate and go out by it. So their king goes on before them, and Yahweh at their head.”

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.
