Who will take over in Syria?

By Ted Belman

The best outcome for conflict in Syria is for the Sunnis and the Kurds to be victorious in Syria. But they must do so aligned with Saudi Arabia and Israel. My recent article The Kurds and the Sunnis must be united to stop Iran from taking over in Iraq and al Qaeda in Syria spells it out and my argument was buttressed here.

Herb London reported a few days ago, U.S. Betrays Syria’s Opposition

    In an effort to understand and placate Syrian opposition groups, Secretary Clinton invited them to a meeting in Washington. Most of those invited, however, have links to the Muslim Brotherhood. Missing from the invitations are Kurdish leaders, Sunni liberals, Assyrians and Christian spokesmen. According to various reports the State Department made a deal with Turkey and Muslim Brotherhood representatives either to share power with Assad to stabilize the government, or replace him if this effort fails.One organization, the Syrian Democracy Council (SDC), an opposition group...

Obama is a redistributionist of money and power

He is redistributing power in the ME from the strong to the weak

Remember that the LAT refuses to release a tape it had of a dinner in support of “Palestine” that Obama attended. I wonder what could have been so toxic that the LAT, ostensibly a believer in the right to know and freedom of the press, would decline to release the tape. Readers are asked to speculate on what the tape might have contained. Actually, you don’t have to speculate. I am reliably informed that the Audio tape clearly picks up the toast “death to Israel”.

In the fall of ’08 Palin said

    “It must be nice for a candidate to have major news organizations looking after his best interests like that,” “In this case, we have a newspaper willing to throw aside even the public’s right to know in order to protect a candidate that its own editorial board has endorsed. And if there’s a Pulitzer Prize category for excelling in kow-towing, then the L.A. Times,...

Eye witnesses claim ‘unusual’ movement of Israeli missiles

Aaron Klein is a careful journalist. If these reports are true, one must ask, why would Israel place missiles near Jerusalem? Is it because of the elevation or because Jerusalem is the most eastern part of Israel proper? Ted Belman

By Aaron Klein

JERUSALEM — Multiple eyewitnesses reported seeing Israeli military trucks in recent days transport and station large missiles at the periphery of Jerusalem and in locations inside the West Bank.

The descriptions of the projectiles are consistent with the Jewish state’s mid-to-long range Jericho ballistic missiles.

The missile movement, if confirmed, would be considered unusual.

One of the eyewitnesses was a member of the Palestinian Authority security services. He claimed to me that a large missile was stationed five days ago near Neve Yaacov, a Jewish neighborhood in northeast Jerusalem. That neighborhood is adjacent to several Palestinian-inhabited towns.

Four other eyewitnesses, Israeli and Palestinian, reported seeing similar...

Netanyahu could lose control of Likud

The Sunday meeting has now taken place. Netanyahu wants to Dilute power of Likudniks in settlements

    Sources close to Netanyahu said the numbers of committee members from the West Bank rose artificially due to an outdated rule passed in 1992. The rule sets the number of committee members from Judea and Samaria based on how many people in the region voted Likud in the last election.

    In other regions, the committee member totals are based on the region’s voter registration drive.

    Apparently, The prime minister is apparently concerned Judea and Samaria residents will use the committee to put obstacles before his future diplomatic moves. In the first three months after the new committee is elected, its members will be permitted to change the party’s constitution with a simple majority, rather than the two-thirds majority required most of the time.

Exciting Winter Trip to the North

Chanukah letter

צפון 2010

"It's done by using your imagination" thus writes Jennifer a 14 year old girl from Queens, New York to one of the hundreds of young children here in the hospital. For four years the program has been operating between Israeli schools and the organization, and this year they took it to a whole new level, by including schools from the US in the program.

On Tuesday morning just as all the rain, wind, and snowstorms abated in the Mt. Hermon region, we set out for winter camp in the North! A bus full of children, sweets, and wheelchairs began its climb up north. At the Golani interchange, 15 Chevrolet jeeps waited for us and took us for a wild tour through the streams of the north. We traversed brooks of muddy water, we saw beautiful vistas, and we jumped like deer amongst the rocks
