The Battle for Jerusalem begins -- Oct. 8, 2007
The Arabic Al Quds Al-Arabiya newspaper reported
Monday morning that Olmert has now come to an agreement with
Jordan that Arabs in eastern Jerusalem will be granted Jordanian
citizenship. The plan would leave Jerusalem's Muslim holy sites
under the control of the Hashemite kingdom, according to the
report
Vice Prime Minister Chaim Ramon, the Prime
Minister's close aide and friend, however, has been pushing for
the division of Jerusalem. Ramon has been promoting his own
plan to hand half of the city over to the
Palestinian Authority (PA), not to Jordan
National Union Knesset Member Tzvi Hendel contended
that placing control over the Temple Mount under Jordanian
sovereignty is nothing less than national suicide.
PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas has continued to up the ante in
demands before the November 26th summit, insisting that a final
agreement be spelled out to include all of Judea, Samaria and
Gaza as part of a new Arab state, with Jerusalem as its capital.

Will the Temple Mount giveAway be next ? -- Aug. 20, 2007
(IsraelNN.com) Arab representatives who are negotiating an
agreement with Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's office have made it
clear that they will not accept any final peace deal with Israel unless the Jewish State forfeits the Temple
Mount, Judaism's holiest site.
According to a report in the daily newspaper Yediot Acharonot,
Olmert is willing to discuss joint Israeli-Arab control over the
Temple Mount compound...
Besides the Temple Mount, other issues on the table
reportedly include the division of united
Jerusalem and permanent borders between Israel and the PA
Peres -- ( Ed:
wheeler and dealer)
Last week saw the publication of reports that newly-installed
President Shimon Peres has quietly drafted a plan for the Jewish
State to evacuate and transfer to the PA nearly the entire area
of Judea and Samaria, along with several Arab-Israeli cities
located within pre-1967 Israel.
Peres presented his initiative to Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and
to top Abbas aides soon after he took office as President last
month.
President Peres, Israel's most veteran politician, has a long
history of covert deal-making. His arch-rival in the Labor
party, former Prime Minister Yitzchak Rabin, famously
called Peres "an indefatigable
subversive" in his autobiography. Peres received the Nobel Prize for a deal he and others
worked out with arch-terrorist Yasser Arafat in 1993 – the
Oslo Accords – which led to the establishment of the
Palestinian Authority and an ongoing terror war in which
thousands of Israelis, including a high proportion of women and
children, have been killed or maimed.

The deal offers Israel $30 billion in armaments

Jimmy Carter to mediate between Hamas and Fatah -- July 25, 2007
The Palestinian News Agency Ma'an reported that
Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh met with Scott Custer, West Bank
director of the Carter Center, in Haniyeh's Gaza Strip office.
Custer told Haniyeh that Carter, a Democrat, was willing to
mediate between the factions. Haniyeh okayed Carter's offer, the
report said.
(The Carter Center announced in May that it is
"reinvigorating its presence in the Palestinian Territories
in support of peace for Israel, justice for the Palestinians, and
the emergence of a viable, democratic Palestinian state."
Carter headed the international observer mission that validated
last year's Palestinian elections, which brought Hamas to power.
He was also an observer in the first round of Palestinian
elections in 1996 and again in the 2005 elections.
The former president's 2006 book, "Palestine Peace Not
Apartheid," created an uproar in the American Jewish and

“Any direct or indirect participation of soldiers in trying

not lend a hand, in any manner, to the implementation of such

Jordanian-Palestinian confederation -- June 22, 2007 .. "the
swelling of Jordan " ?
The Palestinians and Jordanians are considering a
plan to link the West Bank to Jordan politically in a
confederation that would boost both parties and make them
economically far more stable, The Media Line has learned. Israel
is also party to the discussion with politicians from government
and opposition parties backing the idea.
The vast majority of Jordanians are Palestinians
and creating a confederation with a Palestine would mean the
Hashemites and the native Jordanian would become an even smaller
percentage of the overall population.
Indeed, at least one senior Israeli politician is
suggesting that Gaza should return to its pre-1967 status as a
part of Egypt. That is the idea of former Israeli foreign
minister Silvan Shalom, who these days is the number two in the
hawkish Likud party, which is currently expected to win the next
general election.

Netanyahu is reviving, via the back door, the Oslo illusion that

Netanyahu also said that Egypt must
be more forceful in manning its border with Gaza , where tons of
arms and explosives have been smuggled in during the past two
years. Shortly after Israel quit Gaza in the summer of 2005, it
also left the Philadelphi Route on the southern Gaza border in

Yeshua -- true Prince of Peace , King of the Universe, Messiah --
not allowed in Israel -- May 7, 2007
" The two other members of the Rabbinate
committee are Rabbi Yitzchak Peretz, Chief Rabbi of Raanana, and
Be'er Sheva Chief Rabbi Yehuda Deri. The committee, together with
Chief Rabbis Yona Metzger and Shlomo Amar, ruled that the Woman
to Woman Conference is "in opposition to Torah thought and
law," and that the events organized by the
Knesset Christian Caucus, Bridges for Peace and the International
Christian Embassy of Jerusalem "strive to create
a partnership between famous Christian preachers and leaders of
organizations that have worldwide missionary programs to
missionize as many Jews as possible... Events of this
nature have been banned in the past by Torah giants throughout
the generations, and they are forbidden."
Rabbi Deri explained to Arutz-7, "We
note of late the terrible phenomenon of Messianic
Jews wreaking havoc and destruction in
Israel by trying to bring Jesus as Messiah
into Israel. With pleasantness and kindness, they bring Torah,
fear of G-d and even Torah commandments - but all with one
underlying theme: that Jesus is Messiah.
....
They want to help and support us, but they have the same goals as
the Messianics. They
make tremendous efforts and support us all over, and are even
more right-wing than we are in some ways, and they help us with
Bush, etc. - this is all true, but in the end, they have one
goal, and that is Jesus.
We are not on the level of early great Rabbis who were able to
take the good and spit out the bad..."

remain Jewish while still accepting Jesus." -- Mina Fenton

the aircraft effective until around 2020.

Carter speaks on Israel -- April 13, 2007
"History
has shown that progress is possible only if the United States of
America assumes its historic role as honest broker between Israel
and her enemy," Carter said,
lamenting what he described as a six-year lapse in
substantial peace efforts.
"To play that essential role, America must not be seen as in
the pocket of either side."
"The
American friends of Israel, who demand such subservience, are in
many cases sincere and well-intentioned people; I know
them," Carter said. "But on this crucial issue, they
are tragically mistaken.
Their demands subvert America’s ability to bring to Israel
what she most desperately needs, and wants
-- peace and
security ( Ed: safety ) within recognized borders."

Meeting on IRAQ-- April 14, 2007
" EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana said
in late March that the Quartet hopes to meet with Israel before
the summer for the first time. It also wants to engage in talks
with Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, he
said.
Ferrero-Waldner said the Quartet will "most probably"
meet in Egypt in early May,
which may provide that opportunity.

Will Jimmy Carter be an envoy for mideast peace ?
Sure enough, Baker is the
most-frequently-mentioned candidate to be a special mediator,
especially by those seeking a mediator ready to confront the
Israeli leadership. In 2004, candidate John Kerry "said he
would consider sending Mr. Carter or
Mr. Baker as his personal envoy to make
peace between Israel and the Palestinian
Arabs."
Shaheen started his political career working for Jimmy Carter,
another less-than-probable mediator,
and joined him as an election monitor in the Palestinian
elections. When he was asked about his plans for the job, his
answer also sounded like Carter: "I
think there are people who are not being treated very nicely.
They want their own freedom." And I don't think he was
referring to Israelis.
