Who lost the world? The unraveling of the globe under Obama’s watch By Frank Gaffney, Jr., Center for Security Policy Conventional wisdom has it that the 2012 election will be all about the dismal economy, unemployment and the soaring deficit. That appears a safe bet since such matters touch the electorate, are much in the news at the moment and have indisputably gotten worse on Barack Obama’s watch. AJC, ADL Co-Sponsor National Pledge Calling for Unity on Israel shows that the Anti-Defamation League and also the American Jewish Committee have put their Jewish identities on the streets to protect Barack Obama from the electoral consequences of his statements and actions toward Israel. We have stated previously that the only legitimate reason for American Jews to support Israel is Israel’s status as a fellow Euro-American free nation, which is the same reason most Americans (for example) supported the United Kingdom against Argentinian aggression during the 1980s. Having said this, it is eminently clear that AJC’s and ADL’s President cannot distinguish between aggressors and victims, terrorists and the victims of terrorists, or free nations and dictatorships. The pledge, which we reject and denounce with all possible contempt, also... One of the most remarkable — perhaps game-changing — developments in the Middle East has been the discovery of massive natural gas deposits in the eastern Mediterranean. Will this transform Israel into a wealthy energy-exporting state? Will it produce more conflicts in the area given conflicting claims by Cyprus, Israel, Lebanon, and Turkey? Few people are better qualified to analyze these issues than Amiram Barkat — an Israeli journalist working at Globes, the business supplement of the Maariv daily newspaper. by Khaled Abu Toameh. HUDSON NY Facing growing protests at home, Jordan’s King Abdullah has embarked on a policy aimed at appeasing radical Muslims. King Abdullah’s decision to woo Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood is seen as a no-confidence vote in the US President Barack Obama’s policy toward the Arab world, as leaders there are beginning to realize that they can no longer rely on Obama, especially after his hasty decision to abandon Egyptian President Hosni Mubabrak. Most recently, reports indicate that the... These bloggers. especially the first three mentioned, have a huge following. By Ted Belman The corpus is owned by the trust, and the corpus is... Israel to UN Security Council: Support for Palestinian statehood will only lead to Mideast violence By Shlomo Shamir, HAARETZ Support for the Palestinian bid for statehood in the United Nations spells instability and violence for the Middle East, Israel’s UN envoy said in anaddress before the UN Security Council, adding that the only path to peace between Israel and the Palestinians is through direct negotiations.

It seems increasingly likely, however, that the American people are going to have a whole lot more to worry about by next fall. Indeed, the way things are going, by November 2012, we may see the Mideast – and perhaps other parts of the planet – plunged into a cataclysmic war.

Amiram, please discuss Israel’s natural gas exploration in the eastern Mediterranean. What has been found so far? What is expected to be found?
Israel had traditionally been perceived as a country bereft of natural resources: “Our only resource is in our brains,” the country’s leaders used to say. Throughout the years many attempts were made to find oil. From Israeli government companies to devout Christians following clues in...
King Abdullah also sees how the Islamists are gaining power in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and the Palestinian Territories, and has apparently decided to appease them as a pre-emptive measure.
In the past few months Jordan has been hit by a wave of weekly anti-government demonstrations. For the first time, former senior security and civilian officials have joined the protests – a move seen by many as a direct and unprecedented challenge to King Abdullah.
Today I read the beginning of the article which was not included in the extract. I want to now extract his discussion of G-d’s gift of the promised land to the Jews which he called a trust.

Settlor, trust instrument and beneficiary
When God gave the Land of Israel to the Jews, as recited in the Bible, He did so in trust. In law, a settlor is an owner of specified property, such as a parcel of land, who gives the specified property to another person, but subject to a trust.
To do this, the owner of the property (the settlor) transfers ownership of the specific property (the corpus) to an entity (the trust) for the benefit of a named person (the beneficiary). The means of transfer is a document (the trust instrument).
“Members of the international community should be clear about their responsibilities: You vote for it, you own it. All those who vote for unilateral recognition will be responsible for its consequences,” Prosor added.
The Israeli envoy also rejected the notion that Israel’s settlement activities were the main...
