The legacy of Chanukah – faith, patriotism, defiance of extreme odds and tenacity in the battle of liberty against tyranny – has underlined the American spirit since the early Pilgrims, enhancing the unique foundation of the US-Israel covenant: shared values. I wonder who is behind this. I am told by Palestinians in Jordan that the MB is more established with the Bedouin who support Abdullah. The we we read that Abdullah is taking to Hamas. But according to my informers, the Palestinians want nothing to do with the MB. Ted Belman The Muslim Brotherhood (MB) in Jordan warned of entering the “Age of mafias and gangs” after the burning of the headquarters of the group and the Islamic Action Front in the city of Mafraq (65 kilometers east of Amman) by pro-government elements after attacking a rally organized by the MB there, amid continued government silence about what happened yesterday, Friday. In a statement released by the MB, the group stated that what happened was due to one of two possibilities. The first: the government, with its authorities and institutions fails to provide protection for its citizens, fails to enforce the law, fails to establish the institutional state, and fails to deal with...

Zoabi belongs in jail and not in the Knesset, MK Danon... JERUSALEM – J Street, the supposedly pro-Israel, pro-peace political action committee and lobbyist group, is actually backed by a controversial far-left clearinghouse financed by billionaire George Soros, WND has learned. J Street claims to be pro-Israel, yet it has faced mounting criticism for its policies and advocacy that many argue is harmful to the Jewish state. “Red... Before making aliya I participated in a panel on Islam and the UN that was hosted by Michael Coren. He was very uncomfortable with my remarks and an exchange of correspondence took place. A number of people vigorously defended me. He’s come a long way now. Meir Weinstein is the head of the vibrant JDL in Canada and Coren has taken a linking to him because he speaks truth. Weinstein introduced Coren to Robinson the head of the English Defence League in the UK. He opposes Islamization. The police refuse to protect him and infact harrass him. And now this. “I refuse to allow the future Palestinian state to become a missile base like Gaza and Lebanon,” says the prime minister • Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman estimates peace deal won’t be achieved “in the coming decade” • Lieberman slams Europe for failing to stop Iran and doing nothing more than “placate Israel.” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared on Sunday that he would refuse to negotiate with a Palestinian government that included representatives of the Islamist terrorist group Hamas. In the city of Beit Shemesh, tensions run high Acts of segregation and violence toward women in Beit Shemesh turn the city into a focus for controversy • Police, called in to remove signs segregating streets, attacked by ultra-Orthodox rioters • Religious MKs speak out against this type of extremism.

Cameras recently installed throughout the city as part of the Public Security Ministry’s “City Without Violence” program have documented incidents of gender segregation and violence toward women around the city, including spitting and shouting of insults, Israel Radio reported on Monday.

Dozens of IHH members on the Mavi Marmara boat brutally clubbed, shot, knifed and kidnapped Israeli navy commandos, who had warned the boat to change its course from Hamas-controlled Gaza. The commandos eventually were able to overtake their attackers, nine of whom were killed in the clash. Zoabi was on board but was not in the group of attackers. She was not injured.

It’s good that the Ministry of Public Safety has decided to introduce amendments to the existing Anti-Terrorism Act of Canada. These recommendations, if approved, will strengthen measures to address the ongoing threat of radicalization and terrorism in the country. The revised Anti-Terrorism Act would outlaw terrorist training, as well as the glorification of terror, martyrdom and violence.
One would have imagined that such provisions were already in existence under Canada’s terrorism laws, as they must be considered an imperative in today’s tense political climate. Outlawing incitement to violence and prohibiting the dissemination of its mechanisms seem logical and necessary. Even so, such measures may engender considerable controversy under Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
