Enhancing Israel-Asia relations
President Shimon Peres’s groundbreaking visit to Vietnam in November with a delegation of more than 60 prominent Israelis, including two government ministers and leading figures in finance, industry, agriculture and defense was a landmark event. The delegation was given a rousing welcome, including a dinner with all the members of the Vietnamese government in which Peres’s hosts surprised him with a group of Vietnamese singers who had prepared renditions of Israeli songs in excellent Hebrew.
Ron Paul Defends Iran
Laura: Ron Paul is shilling for the genocidal Iranian terror regime, defending its threat to close the Straight of Hormuz. So Paul’s opposition to the use of military force against Iran cannot be explained away by the concern over the risks that would pose to us, since the scoundrel is also against even economic sanctions. This means that Ron Paul actually wants Iran to be able to obtain nuclear weapons unimpeded.

PA to take issue of settlement building to UNSC
The PA totally distorts reality. The reason the peace process is not going anywhere is not because of the settlement activity on less than 2% of the land but because the PA doesn’t want to negotiate. If the UNSC supports their request, it will be violating its own Res 242 which is the basis of the peace process. They cannot alter it without destroying the peace process once and for all.

PLO Secretary-General Yasser Abed Rabbo said after the meeting that in the wake of the increased “settlement campaign,” the Palestinian leadership had decided to file a complaint with the Security Council against Israel.
Abed Rabbo said the goal of the Israeli settlement activities was to prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state and to impose a “canton” solution on the Palestinians.
He also complained that Israel’s measures were aimed at isolating east Jerusalem from the West Bank.

If I Forget Thee, O Jerusalem ……
By Ted Belman
Daniel Seidemann, the author of “The Myth of Undivided Jerusalem,” published by The Atlantic, is the founder of Terrestrial Jerusalem, an “Israeli” non-governmental organization that works to prevent developments, even if good for the city’s residents, from taking place if said developments leave the city indivisible. The top three donors of this NGO are The Norwegian Foreign Ministry, The Swiss Foreign Ministry, and The British Foreign Ministry — all of whom want Jerusalem divided — according to the organization’s own website.
The article is part of the effort of The S. Daniel Abraham Center for Middle East Peace to “help reach a just and comprehensive peace that will bring an end to the Arab-Israeli conflict.”
As laudable as the search for peace is, many would argue, as I do, that agreeing to the terms of the PA — or the EU, for that matter, not to mention Hamas — would not result in peace in our time any more than such...

I received an email today from Aaron Minsky, the author of “Beyond Faith”. He uses information from his book to explain how the goal of Zionism is world peace.
He advises that A guy came to one of my You Tube videos and wrote:
- “You sick minded Jew pig, you pigs are a cancer on? this world. Fuck you & your Satan worshipping psychopath zoinist ways.”
If interested, you can see the video and his post here:
He comments
- I was going to ignore him but decided to respond. We got into an exchange of emails over many days. Finally he sent me the letter that I have copied below! It just goes to show how important it is for us to reach out to each other, even to those who seem beyond reach. This guy was in gangs since his teens and was in jail for over a decade. He never got a college education, yet he understood what I had to say better than some of my highly educated friends. He learned from me and I learned from him.
