Jonathan Pollard: It’s Time to Let Him Go

by Jerrold L. Sobel

Having been convicted of multiple murders in 1998, one of which the body still has not been found, Loren Herzog was released from Prison in Stockton California this past July, having served less than 10 years for his crimes.

Dec. 7, 1968 Pontiac, Michigan. Having been a suspect in the murders of several women in the Wolverine state, Nolan Ray George was convicted of second degree murder of a woman, Frances Ann Brown. After several mistrials, in 1973 he began serving 17 1/2-25 years in prison. Credited with 8 years, he was released 7 years later…. No, this isn’t a transition into a “Law and Order” or a “CSI” police story. It’s just a circuitous way of making a point.

Jonathan Pollard, on March 4, 1987 began serving a life sentence at the Federal Prison in Butler, North Carolina for the crime of espionage. To this date, 25 years later, he still languishes at that facility. Please be certain of one thing, this isn’t going to be some tear...

We are not for sale

By CAROLINE B. GLICK

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is playing with fire. And Israel is getting burned.

Over the past week, it has been widely reported that the Obama administration and the Netanyahu government are conducting secret negotiations regarding future Israeli land surrenders to the Palestinians in the Jordan Valley and Jerusalem. According to the reports, the Obama administration has presented Netanyahu with a plan whereby Israel will cede its rights to eastern Jerusalem and the Jordan Valley to the Palestinians and then lease the areas from the Palestinians for a limited period.

The reports on the length of the lease vary. Some claim that the White House is offering a seven year rental. Others claim the Americans are offering Israel to lease Jerusalem and the Jordan Valley for several decades before relinquishing them completely.

Netanyahu has reportedly accepted Obama’s proposal in principle. The only remaining dispute is the length of the lease....

Israel Supreme Court….Muslims may continue the destruction of Jewish artifacts.

With such a court who needs enemies. Were it up to me I would disband this court and try each Judge for treason against the Jewish People and the State. Yamit

Waqf Bulldozers on Temple Mount May Be Destroying Jewish History

Suit Rejected; Destruction of Temple-Era Finds to Continue

by Maayana Miskin

he High Court ruled against the Israel Law Center this week in a petition aimed at stopping the destruction of Jewish artifacts dating back to the Temple era. The court ruled that the destruction cannot be stopped using private prosecution. In addition to rejecting the private case against the Islamic Wakf Authority on the Temple Mount, the High Court rejected the Israel Law Center’s demand that the attorney general be ordered to take action against the Temple Mount destruction.

The Israel Law Center (Shurat HaDin) had filed suit against the Wakf on behalf of 150 Israeli citizens. Charges were filed over the Wakf’s use of bulldozers to carry out unauthorized construction in...

The New Republican House and Israel

By C. Hart, AMERICAN THINKER

While Congress has long been bipartisan when it comes to support for Israel, the Republican sweep of the House of Representatives on November 2 is expected to help strengthen that support. Several pro-Israel Republicans in Congress will now have control over important committees in the House of Representatives, where legislation concerning Israel’s national security interests will become a stronger focus. Rather than waiting to see whether U.S. President Barack Obama approves new legislation vis-à-vis his foreign policy initiatives, these House Republicans will take strong action, when necessary, and challenge the Obama administration regarding its wavering support of Israel.

At the same time, the Democrats will remain in control of the Senate. Most American Jewish organizations expect bipartisan support to continue in the Senate, with little change in regard to the U.S.-Israel relationship. Some Jewish leaders, however, think that certain...

Obama’s Asian trip to cost over $1 Billion

Rep. Bachmann Blasts Obama’s Pricey Asia Trip
NEWSMAX

Minnesota Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann has blasted the White House for what she calls “over-the-top” spending on President Obama’s upcoming trip to Asia.

Obama leaves Friday on a trip that begins in India and will also take him to Indonesia, South Korea and Japan. Reports are circulating that the president and his entourage of about 3,000 officials, business people, journalists, and security personnel will spend some $200 million a day during his 4-day visit to India, which would put the tab for the entire trip well over $1 billion.

“We have never seen this sort of an entourage going with the president before,” Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann told CNN’s Anderson Cooper in an interview that aired on Wednesday.

“And I think this is an example of the massive overspending that we’ve seen, not only just in the last two years, really in the last four.”

“Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous”-
by Stacy Webber

Obama’s Billion Dollar Trip Raises the Bar of Government Excess. I remember watching the show “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” as a kid during the mid-eighties. The host, Robin Leach, led the viewer on tours of the incredible “stuff” of the uber-rich. There were unimaginable displays of excess like gold plated toilets and personal jets with full time crews. I had never seen anything like it before. It was remarkable to see the people spend money so lavishly. My Dad was in college at the time and we had to pinch pennies until they cried out in pain. It was so disconnected from my reality that it was like watching...

Credo quia absurdum. “I believe because it is absurd.”

Cicero understood: Legally and morally, killing is sometimes a sacred duty. The Talmud enjoins us to rise up and kill our would be killers first, before they kill us. It’s time to rethink our nuclear deterrent doctrine now! Yamit

Law, Morality And Jewish Survival In The State Of Israel

By Louis René Beres

The central truth of being human is the constant love of being alive. We Jews, of course, both in our prayers, and in our sacred rituals, have always underscored the central difference between life and death, between the “blessing and the curse.” In consequence, all Jewish survival, individually and collectively, is now closely bound up with the survival of the Jewish state. For both its too few friends, and its too many enemies, Israel is now plainly the individual Jew in macrocosm.

How shall the State of Israel survive? From their very beginnings, and even long before the United Nations conferral of legal statehood in 1948, Jews in Israel have faced war,...

Muslim Massacres of Christians

Laura: World governments including our own and the UN have NOTHING to say about this horrific evil massacre of Christians in Iraq, which included the beheading of an infant and countless others horrors perpetrated by islam. But someone threatens to burn a koran or Jews build homes in their own capital and you have the White House, the State Department, the UN and EU make hysterical public condemnations. It’s a sick world.

STOP MUSLIM PERSECUTION AND WHOLESALE SLAUGHTER OF CHRISTIANS IN IRAQ

Pam Geller, Atlas Shrugs

On October 21, Muslims seized a church in Iraq, and kidnapped and slaughtered scores of righteous souls. We are witnessing the same annihilation of Coptic Christians in Egypt by Muslims as well.

Amir wrote me,

Pamela, Take a look at what the Muslims doing to the Christian in Iraq everyday. Over 80 people were beheaded in a single day during a Sunday mass. The youngest one were a 4 months old baby that was beheaded front of her parents and throw the head at her mom....
