Mr. Obama has lots of nice sounding bits in his
speech for AIPAC (American-Israel Public Affairs Committee), but, for those in
the know who examine his speech for trustworthiness and veracity, there is much
to pick apart. See Caroline Glick below for just such an astute dissection of
Obama’s speech.

The 100 missiles fired by the Palestinian Jihad Islami escalated Saturday and included Grad multiple rocket
launchers mounted on vehicles and SA-7 anti-air rockets, the Russian version of
the American Stinger, smuggled from Libya.
IDF officials say the 200 rockets fired at Israel's southern communities since
Friday marks a “dramatic development
in terms of the quantity and rate of the fire.” More than 50 of the rockets
fired in recent days were medium-range missiles.

Radical Islam Wins Big in Iran
President Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad appears to be the big loser against Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali
Khameini. Hardliners from the Islamist camp appear to have captured at least
three-quarters of the 290 seats in the Majlis, the country's parliament.
Truth is Out: Don’t Count on United
States
Plain-speaking Foreign
Minister Avigdor Lieberman warned that if the United States is too weak to be
able to intervene to stop Syrian President Bashar Assad’s ”systematic murder of
innocent civilians,” it can’t be counted on to come to Israel’s aid. "If
the international community is incapable of stopping the massacres in Syria,
what is the value of its promises to protect the security of Israel?"

Chief Sephardic Rabbi
(Rav) Rabbi Shlomo Amar has published a call to believers not to
ascend to the Temple Mount. The call appears under the heading
"avoid ascending to the Mount and touching its edge," which was
the ruling about Mount Sinai in the Book of Exodus before the Ten Commandments.
Rav Amar's declaration was co-signed by former Chief Sephardic Rabbi Rav
Eliyahu Bakshi Doron; Rav Shalom Cohen, Head of Porat Yosef Yeshiva in the Old
City of Jerusalem, Old City Rabbi Rav Avigdor Neventzal, and Kotel Rabbi, Rav
Shmuel Rabinovich.
Hamas has Chosen
Self-preservation
Hamas will not do Iran's bidding
in any war with Israel, according to senior figures within the militant Islamic
group. "If there is a war between two powers, Hamas will not be part of
such a war," Salah Bardawil, a member of the organisation's political
bureau in Gaza City, told the Guardian. He denied the group would launch
rockets into Israel at Tehran's request in response to a strike on its nuclear
sites.

Arabs Building on JNF (Jewish) Lands
For
generations Jews who dreamed of Zion collected their pennies so the Jewish
National Fund could purchase land in Israel. Today illegal Arab building on JNF
lands goes unchecked by Israel's leaders.
No
fewer than 700 illegal housing units have been built by Arabs in the past two
years on land purchased for Jews by the JNF in northern Jerusalem.
Aryeh
King, chairman of the Israel Land Fund, says his organisation is conducting a
careful survey of the illegal structures using aerial photographs, but adds the
problem is exacerbated by the fact that the illegal building occurs beyond
Israel's security fence. Lands bought by the JNF are on both sides of the
fence.
"We're
discussing lands in Qalandiya," King explained. "All entry and
activity has to be coordinated with the IDF and Ministry of Defence. No
enforcement can be undertaken in these areas without the cooperation of the
military and police. This is routinely denied on 'security grounds.'"
For
example, King says, "We have an aerial photo of an old building from
before 2005, but the security fence being built makes these areas out of
bounds, and we have no way of documenting and making claims for
enforcement."
"This
inaction is politically motivated, and people don't realise what is happening.
The JNF offers to purchase land at nominal prices in order to return them to
the Jewish people, but that's not what is happening."
"I
hope that those who donate to the JNF will think twice before giving their
money to a body that does nothing to secure the assets they hold in trust for
the Jewish people," King added. (Planting trees
is not enough! We need to reclaim and free all Jewish land from Arab
occupation.)
