The publicity effort is the initiative of the left-wing Geneva Institute, chaired by former Meretz party chairman Member Yossi Beilin. The campaign promotes the PA as a “peace partner’ on billboards throughout Israel and asks, “What about you?” implying that Israel is not engaged in the diplomatic process. More
This past week, the cat was out of the bag and the American president’s infinite arrogance came bursting forth. Unlike his European colleagues, whose statements made sure to minimize their involvement to “ending the occupation of 1967,” President Obama (via a State Department spokesman) revealed his intention to bring an “end to the conflict.”
Does Obama really know how to “end the conflict?” We got the answer two days later, when a document published in the media revealed the US Administration’s intention to secure a final-status agreement within a year, while implementing it within 10 years. In other words, Obama wishes to win all the glory while mortgaging the future (our future, not his.) More
"Z Street was informed explicitly by an IRS Agent on July 19, 2010, that approval of Z Street's application for tax-exempt status has been at least delayed, and may be denied because of a special IRS policy in place regarding organizations in any way connected with Israel," the suit, filed in U.S. district court in Philadelphia, said. "And further that the applications of many such Israel-related organizations have been assigned to 'a special unit in the D.C. office to determine whether the organization's activities contradict the administration's public policies.'

Fiorina, a former chief executive officer of Hewlett Packard, already has scored points on the issues of the Ground Zero mosque and the building freeze against new Jewish home construction in Judea and Samaria. She has come out against building the planned multi-story mosque near the site where Al-Qaeda suicide terrorists destroyed the Twin Towers on 9/11. "Now would be a time for the proponents of that mosque to withdraw and say they will find someplace else, where their objectives can be met, instead of continuing to inflame the passions of the people who lost and suffered so much," Fiorina has said.

Nearly 73 percent of respondents said it is either essential, desirable or acceptable to use violence against Israeli Jews in order to obtain an independent Palestinian state. That view is a direct violation of the Israeli-Palestinian peace accords.
Furthermore, an overwhelming 78.2 percent of respondents said that eventually establishing "Palestine" from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea (which includes all of Israel) is "essential." Another 12.5 percent said that goal is "desirable." Only 17.7 percent said a two-state solution is "essential." More
Israel activists have called on Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu not to give in to Abbas's pressure. More
During preparatory talks ahead of the summit due in Washington next week, the Palestinians made it clear they refuse to accept any softer formula on the building freeze. They expect that even after the September 26 deadline, when the 10-month moratorium ends, the United States will support their demand to continue the ban on all construction outside the Green Line, including in the settlement blocs.

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
