The murdered Father´s club bow down to Syria

Saad Hariri and Walid Jumblatt, the leaders of the Cedar Revolution, whose fathers were all but certainly killed by Syria, are paying homage to Damascus.

Perhaps the leading factor in the March 14 leadership’s decision to return to Damascus appears to be Saudi Arabia’s equivocating.

To mitigate the threat posed by Tehran, Saudi Arabia is attempting to pry Syria away from its 30-year strategic ally, and the first Saudi down-payment in this ill-advised gambit has been its Lebanese allies.

At least in part, this dramatic change in policy is related to the perceived U.S. weakness on Iran. Absent Saudi confidence that Washington will prevent a nuclear Iran, Riyadh is hedging.

My comment:

Kamal Jumblatt was the father of the Lebanese Druze leader Walid Jumblatt. Senior was assassinated on March 16th 1977. Now Junior wants to side with Syria, who assassinated his father.

Rafik Hariri was assassinated by Syria 14th of February 2005.

His son Prime Minister Saad Hariri paid a visit to Damascus to express his fealty to Syrian President Bashar Assad. Days later, Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki visited Beirut and began giving the Lebanese government its new marching orders.

Former Islamic enemies are re-aligning them self. Again the common enemy is the Jewish state of Israel.

Pope Pius XII opposed a return of Jews to Zion in 1943

The Vatican could have got the control over Jerusalem in 1948. But Pope Pius XII chose to bet on Hitler and Mussolini winning World War II.

The discovery of the documents in U.S. archives cast new light on a pope whose failure to speak out publicly against the persecution of the Jews during the war is still causing controversy, especially now that the Vatican is considering him for sainthood.

In one document, a Vatican spokesman informed the administration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt that the Pope’s help in saving 4,000 Slovakian Jewish children and getting them to Palestine must not be construed as a sign that he was in favour of setting up a Jewish homeland there.

«It is true that at one time Palestine was inhabited by the Hebrew, but there is no axiom in history to substantiate the necessity of a people returning to a country they left 19 centuries before», said the letter the apostolic delegate to Washington, Archbishop A.G. Cicognani, wrote to FDR’s special envoy to the Vatican, Ambassador Myron Taylor.

Rabbi Marvin Hier, the dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Centre in Los Angeles, said his group discovered the letter in a collection of documents that Taylor had bound in leather and presented to the Library of Congress.

Cicognani added in the letter dated June 22, 1943:

«If a Hebrew home is desired, it would not be too difficult to find a more fitting territory than Palestine. With an increase in the Jewish population there, grave new international problems would arise. Catholics the world over would be aroused. The Holy See would be saddened, and justly so, by such a move».

My comment:

Because the Catholic Church do not believe in the final authority of the Bible, the Church live with many and serious errors. Like their Pope, Cardinals and Bishops not being able to understand the prophetic Word.

Here is one of many verses that explains the re-gathering of Jews in the ancient homeland:

Jeremiah 31:10
“Hear the word of the LORD, O nations; proclaim it in distant coastlands: ‘He who scattered Israel will gather them and will watch over his flock like a shepherd.’

2009 saw lowest terror levels in Israel this decade

The past 12 months have seen the lowest number of terror attacks this decade, and the least number of Israeli casualties of terror.

080312-beth-stones — The stones trown by Muslims on Jews was in 2009 trown in global media and the court of law.

This is according to a report from the Israeli Security Agency «Shin Bet» released Wednesday.

The Shin Bet credits the low number on the ability of Israeli security forces to thwart attacks, as well as efforts by Palestinian security organizations.

According to the report, 15 Israelis were killed in the past year, down from 36 fatalities in 2008. Out of the 15, nine were killed during Operation Cast Lead – Israel’s three week offensive in Gaza that began exactly a year ago.

Of the nine people killed during the conflict, five were killed as a result of rocket fire. The other four were Israel Defense Forces soldiers who died as a result of friendly fire.

After the conflict, a soldier was killed on the Gaza border from an explosion planted by terrorists linked to Al Qaida.

Five Israelis were killed in terror attacks originating from the West Bank, among them Rabbi Meir Hai, who was killed several days ago in a shooting attack near Nablus.

The decrease in the number of deaths from terror attacks is also a result of the decrease in the number of rockets fired into Israel.

The report also noted that Hamas was reigning in activities of the Islamic Jihad terrorist organization in Gaza.

My comment:

Its worth noticing that fewer Israelis were killed by terrorist in 2009.

There are several reasons for this.

First the extraordinary good job done by Israeli security official. I have been to Israel twice within a year, and have felt very safe. From the security drill at the departure for Israel, to the returned from Ben Gurion airport.

The second reason, is that the Islamic Movement has changed its tactics. Years of blunt violence against Jews had an impact on public opinion, and made the International community more negative to political Islam.

Today the Intifada is fought globally, a bid to demonize and de-legitimize that Jewish state of Israel. This war is fought by blue-colored lawyers, NGO`s and lobby organization that are wolves that appear is sheep clothing. The Islamic Movement has halted their armed struggle while they let their public Relation campaign against the Jewish people run to its logic conclusion.

If the Islamic movement had halted their violent attacks in a big to restore the peace process, they would not have stored up more rockets pointing into Israel. That Hizbullah now have more rockets ready to be fired to slaughter the civilian population inside the Jewish homeland, makes us aware of this dangerous deception.
