The US has recently warned Israel that an Israeli strike on Iran will likely cause Egypt and Jordan to annul their peace agreements with Israel and sever ties, according to a senior Israeli official quoted by the Hebrew daily Yedioth Ahronoth on Thursday.

The Israeli official reportedly linked between the anticipated Arab reaction to an Israeli strike and the current rage-fueled wave of anti-Western protests in the wake of the publication of a trailer for a new film, “Innocence of Muslims,” that denigrates Islam’s Prophet Muhammad.

A perverse ‘Process’: Hillary’s free-speech follies By NINA SHEA. This article was written last December. Shea explained that for over a decade the OIC has been pushing for the criminalizing of criticism of Islam and that the US has resisted in the name of free speech until Hillary entered the scene.

Only when the government of Israel is determined to restore the rule of law to the Negev will the Beduin understand they have something to lose, and only thus will it be possible to speak of a historic compromise and successful settlement.
When Israel realized that it could no longer ignore the massive spread of illegal Beduin settlement in the Negev, it developed generous programs to regularize the situation. In 2007, it established the Goldberg Commission, headed by retired Supreme Court Justice Eliezer Goldberg. Following the publication of its recommendations, the chairman of the Policy Planning Division of the Prime Minister’s Office, Ehud Prawer, was appointed to lead a committee to convert those recommendations into a viable government program. In 2011 the committee’s report was published, and approved by the government.
