A slew of organizations funded by billionaire George Soros have been utilizing the alleged News of the World phone hacking scandal in the U.K. to call for investigations of News Corporation’s U.S. interests, particularly Fox News Channel.
The Center for American Progress, heavily financed by Soros, said it gathered 12,000 signatures demanding to know whether News Corp. reporters violated U.S. law by obtaining phone records in the U.S.
The center is reportedly highly influential in helping to craft White House policy. It is led by John Podesta, who served as co-chairman of Obama’s presidential transition team.
Podesta this week told reporters his group wants the U.S. division of News Corp. probed for other possible offenses, including violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which prosecutes for bribery of foreign officials.

The Jews crouching in the basement
By Stella Paul, AMERICAN THINKER
The coming week marks five years since the murder of Pamela Waechter. Who? If the name doesn’t ring a bell, here’s a brief reminder: She was shot in the head by Naveed Afzal Haq, as she tried to crawl down a flight of stairs and escape, after Haq shot her in the chest.
Still not jogging your memory? How about this: Waechter was the 58-year-old director of the annual campaign of the Jewish Federation of Seattle. Sometime around 4 PM, on July 28, 2006, Naveed Afzal Haq grabbed a 14-year-old girl and thrust a gun in her back. He used her to gain entry to the Federation, and then rampaged through the building, shooting six women — Layla Bush, Christina Rexroad, Cheryl Stumbo, Dayna Klein (who was five months pregnant), Carol Goldman, and, fatally, Pamela Waechter. Tammy Kaiser jumped from a second-story window to escape, and was hospitalized with injuries.
What was Haq’s motive? Well, here’s an interesting...
IDF Civil Administration pushing for land takeover in West Bank
Inclusion of Jordan Valley, northern Dead Sea and area surrounding Ariel in ‘settlement blocs’ whose takeover the administration is advancing, would prevent establishment of Palestinian state with territorial contiguity.
By Akiva Eldar, Haaretz
The IDF Civil Administration is taking steps to increase state-ownership of West Bank lands, an internal military document reveals. The policy enables increased construction not only around settlement blocs like Ariel, Ma’aleh Adumim and Gush Etzion, but also in strategic areas like the Jordan Valley and Dead Sea.
Until now it was not known that the administration, which is a military agency, was charged with distinguishing between the blocs Israel is demanding to annex as part of a final-status agreement and the rest of the settlements.
The document was written by Lt.Col. Zvi Cohen, head of the civil administration’s infrastructures department, in January. On the same day, Cohen signed a procedure stipulating...

Please immediately call or SMS the ministers and Knesset Members of Likud, plus Jewish Home/Mafdal, plus Eli Yishai head of Shas. The situation in Migron is criticial. There will be a house-bashing, Gush-Katif-like event there Sunday or earlier, if PM Netanyahu does not finally take his head out of the sand. Each and every minister and MK owes us an explanation of what s/he is doing exactly, right this minute and in the hours to come, to get Netanyahu’s attention focussed, at long last, on the Migron problem. Even those ministers and MKs who have done something for Migron, obviously have not done enough, because the house-bashing orders have not been cancelled.
So, each and every MK/minister should be racking their brains at this very moment, for new, better and more ideas of what they can do instantly. Use the cellphone numbers below – till 11 pm, till Shabat candle-lighting time if you got this email on Friday, immediately after Shabat and on until midnight,...

Elyakim Haetzni replies to IMRA on annexation of Judea and Samaria
Dr. Aaron Lerner 17 July 2011
Elyakim Haetzni is an Israeli lawyer, activist and former politician who served as a member of the Knesset for Tehiya from 1990 until 1992
Dear Elyakim Haetzni,
I see that you are participating in the upcoming conference “Regaining the initiative – Applying Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria”
As you can see from the article below, PA PM Salam Fayyad accepts this initiative – as long as those residing in Judea and Samaria can become Israeli citizens with the right to vote.
I was hoping that you could explain in short note that I could share with IMRA readers if your support for annexation of Judea and Samaria is:
(1) Limited to annexation of areas where there are Jewish communities.
(2) If annexation covers...
