Iranian security
experts report a virus far more dangerous than the Stuxnet worm has struck the
country's computer systems.
Dubbed the “Flame,”
the virus is one that has struck not only Iran, however, but a number of other
enemies of Israel as well.
The Kaspersky
Internet security firm is calling the “Flame” data-stealing virus the “most
sophisticated cyber-weapon yet unleashed” and hinted it may have been created
by the makers of the Stuxnet worm.
Kaspersky called the
virus a “cyber-espionage worm” designed to collect and delete sensitive
information, primarily in Middle Eastern countries.
The “Flame” has
struck at least 600 specific computer systems in Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt,
Sudan, Saudi Arabia and the Palestinian Authority, Kaspersky malware expert
Vitaly Kamluk told the BBC. He added that the virus has probably been operating
discreetly for at least two years.
"This virus is
stronger than its predecessor,” he said. “It is one that could only have been
created by a state or other large entity.”
Problems in Iran's
computer systems are also continuing to surface in connection with the 2010
“Stuxnet” virus. The malware successfully disabled the computers that operated
Iran's uranium enrichment facility. More than 16,000 of the Natanz facility's
centrifuges were destroyed as a result of the cyber-attack.

Fences Won't Ensure Israel's Existence
Hizbullah
leader Hassan Nasrallah threatened Israel, saying the Jewish State is hiding
behind walls and fences and that these cannot ensure its future existence.
“They found refuge by enclosing themselves within fences. But the fences will
never be able to protect them, and will never ensure their existence,”
Nasrallah threatened. Just two weeks ago, Nasrallah threatened to
strike multiple targets in Israel, including Tel Aviv. Recently uploaded satellite
images to Google Earth reveal what appears to be a
Hizbullah terror training ground constructed after the 2006 Lebanon
War. (I agree - the fences will not keep Israel
safe. Only decisive victory over the enemies, ending of Arab occupation and
reunification of all Jewish land will!)
Turkey is Becoming a Sharia State
Turkish pianist, Fazil Say, an avowed atheist, faces imprisonment for tweets insulting Islam. He is being accused of inciting hatred and "public enmity" and
insulting “religious values.” In one tweet Say wrote, “wherever there is a
stupid person or a thief, they are believers in God. Is this a paradox?”
Why
is France so Eager to Destroy Syria but not Nuclear Iran?
US President Obama recently vetoed a detailed Franco-Saudi plan for
ending President Bashar Assad’s rule by means of a massive air strike against
his palace that would, with one fell swoop, wipe him, his family and top
leadership circle out. Their plan was for French warplanes to take off from the
Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier off Syria’s Mediterranean coast and Saudi
and United Arab Emirates bombers to fly through Jordan. (Because it will install another unpredictable Islamic regime on
Israel’s border!)
Barak is
still Delusional - Arabs Want all Jewish Land
The Palestinian
Authority rejected Defence Minister Ehud Barak’s suggestion that Israel
consider a unilateral disengagement from Judea and Samaria (Yehuda and
Shomron), similar to that carried out by the Israeli government in the Gush
Katif region of Gaza in August of 2005. Barak suggested that Israel consider
such a unilateral move, saying, “If it is impossible to reach an agreement with
the Palestinian Authority Arabs, we should consider an interim arrangement, or
even a unilateral disengagement.” (Will he consider
transfer of all so-called Palestinians from Israel at the same time? Why not -
because under the 4th Geneva Convention, “population transfer” is
illegal! However, it is somehow still OK to transfer Jews from their land.
Nobody have asked for perpetrators of disengagement from Gaza be brought to the
International Criminal Court!)

"A lasting peace can only be made with a strong nation. Without a

united and freed from enemy occupation!
In the Land of “Milk and Honey”
How many peppers can
Peter Piper pick? Well, if the protagonist in the old tongue twister were
picking them in Israel’s Arava Desert, the surprising answer is about 150,000
tons.
Once a deserted
112-mile strip of land stretching from the Dead Sea to the Red Sea, the Arava
now has some 600 farms supplying more than 60 percent of total Israeli exports
of fresh vegetables and about 10% of ornamentals.
In addition to dozens
of varieties of peppers, Arava farmers produce tomatoes, cherry tomatoes,
eggplants, melons, watermelons, table grapes, herbs and dates - many raised
organically and all with minimal pesticides. Other Arava agriculturists
specialize in flowers or aquarium fish such as the “Nemo” clownfish.
The United Nations chose
the Arava region as a global model for agricultural
education on saving water.
