Herb Zweibon is the founder of "Americans for a Safe Israel." Like many groups supporting Israel, Zweibon believes a two-state solution poses a grave danger to Israel.

Workers demolishing the wall of a building that once belonged to the former Nazi German Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp have found a message in a bottle written by prisoners 65 years ago, Auschwitz museum officials said.
"We know two of the Auschwitz prisoners who signed the message survived the camp, but their later fate isn't known," Auschwitz-Birkenau museum historian Jerzy Mensfelt told AFP in a telephone interview.
"If they are alive, they would be in their 80s now. Perhaps the publicity surrounding this discovery will lead to more information," he said. More

I covered this act of depraved Islamic Jew hatred here, scroll: Ilan Halimi: Islamic Jew Hatred in France. Halimi's homemade concentration camp and the inconceivable horrors that were suffered by this French Jew who was chosen by Islam's soldiers for unimaginable torture, was blacked out by the corrupt media aligned with jihad force.. They covered up the religious aspects of this depraved barbarity. Law enforcement did as wwell. It was another brutal Islamic slaughter of a defenseless Jew. The reliable witness who broke the true story back in February 2006 and took it to the world was Nidra Poller. It was how I met her. More
Israel is warning the European Union that unless it tones down its criticism of the Netanyahu government, it will be shut out of the 'peace process.'

Shimon Peres will meet Obama during his visit to the US to attend AIPAC conference. Three weeks ago, Netanyahu canceled his planned speech before AIPAC because Obama could not find time to meet him; Bibi sought to avoid humiliation as it was unthinkable for a US president to refuse meeting a visiting Israeli PM.

The building of new mosques has become an issue throughout European cities, from Munich to London. In some places, such as Italy, Switzerland and Greece, governments have struggled to prevent their erection. Yet while there is controversy over their very construction, there is usually very little questioning about why they are built where they are built.
A survey of historical placement of mosques in important cities and newly conquered Muslim lands, as well as a survey of the placement of mosques in diverse neighborhoods, shows that their placement is anything but random and that strikingly often they are built next to the houses of prayer or the neighborhoods of non-Muslims.

Today is a national holiday in Israel. It's called "Yom HaAtzma'ut" or Independence Day. Israelis celebrate it in many ways like Americans celebrate July 4th. Thousands of families head to the parks for cookouts and take the day off. Last night, fireworks punctuated the Jerusalem skyline.
They're celebrating the declaration by David Ben Gurion on May 14, 1948 of the formation of the state of Israel. His declaration read in part: More
(IsraelNN.com) According to a classified intelligence assessment handed to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, U.S. President Barack Obama and his senior advisors wish to “incrementally diminish U.S. strategic cooperation with Israel.”
A report in World Tribune quoted an Israeli source familiar with the intelligence assessment who said that "Obama wants to make friends with our worst enemies and [those who were] until now the worst enemies of the United States. Under this policy,” the source added, “we are more than irrelevant. We have become an obstacle.” More
(IsraelNN.com) As Israel celebrates 61 years of independence, the Jewish towns of Judea and Samaria commemorate 30 years of Regional Councils.
Jewish settlement in the Golan, Gaza and Jordan Valley – liberated in the 1967 Six Day War - began in the early 1970’s, with the establishment of 53 new Jewish communities there (compared with 34 in the rest of Israel during this period). Twenty were built in the Golan, 11 in the Jordan Valley, and 14 in Sinai and Gaza. However, no new communities were established in the Shomron or Binyamin mountains, or in southern Judea. More
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem Ps. 122:6 “The road map to peace
only moves in one direction and that direction is from the West Bank to
the Mediterranean Sea. The only thing in the way is Israel.” Anyone who doesn't recognize Jerusalem as the capital of the state of Israel does not recognize the State of Israel.
