After Bennett criticizes PM, Liberman tells him to ‘calm down’-New defense minister joins calls for Zionist Union to enter coalition, says political situation warrants it-By Sue Surkes June 6, 2016, 5:33 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman on Monday called on coalition partner Naftali Bennett, who heads the Jewish Home, to “calm down” after the latter accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of talking out of both sides of his mouth by opposing a Palestinian state in Hebrew while supporting it in English.Referring to a joke he had made about his own short temper during his first Knesset speech as defense minister a week ago, Liberman told a faction meeting of his Yisrael Beytenu party that Bennett should see “the same doctor for the same operation to lengthen a short fuse.”All members of the newly expanded coalition were duty-bound to help stabilize the government, Liberman said.“I am taking the opportunity to call on all of my friends, and first and foremost my good friend, Minister Naftali Bennett, to calm down,” Ynet reported. “At this time, we need fewer declarations. We need to work together in a coordinated, quiet fashion.”In comments Sunday seen as an attack on Netanyahu, Bennett said: “The time has come to say in a clear voice: the Land of Israel belongs to the people of Israel. It’s impossible to be in favor of the Land of Israel in Hebrew and of establishing a Palestinian state in English.”Echoing a call last week by Kulanu leader Moshe Kahlon on the opposition Zionist Union to join the coalition, Liberman said everyone remembered the national unity governments that had served in situations of national emergency from 1967 on “and I think that the circumstances today merit a wall-to-wall coalition.”On his reputed move from the political right toward the center, Liberman said, “Yisrael Beytenu has always adopted a pragmatic foreign policy. The first man in the State of Israel on the entire political spectrum who spoke about a regional settlement without slogans but as a detailed and developed model was Avigdor Liberman on June 2, 2014 — before students at the Herzliya conference,” he said.At that time, he raised the subject of his controversial plan to redraw Israel’s borders in order to annex Israeli settlements and leave major Arab population centers on the Palestinian side of the border.Netanyahu has invested great efforts over recent weeks to expand what, until Yisrael Beytenu’s entrance into the government, was a razor-thin majority of two seats. After talks between Netanyahu and Zionist Union’s Isaac Herzog floundered, Kahlon stepped up to call on the opposition party to enter the government to help restart Israeli-Palestinian peace talks.Relating to his new job at the Defense Ministry, Liberman said he was focusing on office work and studying the issues in depth. He also expressed optimism about the outcome of negotiations with the US over a huge military aid package for Israel. Last month, Washington sources told Israeli TV that propelling Liberman into the Defense Ministry “creates difficulty” for ongoing discussions on military assistance, a claim later denied by a senior American official.“I hope we will conclude this in the best way possible,” Liberman said.

IDF denies B’Tselem claim second Hebron stabber ‘executed’-Army says assailant was shot while attacking soldiers ‘to eliminate threat’-By Marissa Newman June 6, 2016, 1:39 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

17:12-IDF denies allegations it ‘executed’ second Palestinian stabber-The IDF denies allegations made by B’Tselem that it “executed” a second Palestinian assailant in Hebron in March, saying the shooting was necessary to “eliminate the threat” of the assailant mid-attack.“The claims by the B’Tselem organization are inconsistent with the findings of the operational investigation and conflict with the information the IDF has about this incident,” the army says in a statement.“The shots fired at the terrorist were carried out in order to eliminate the threat while he was attacking the soldiers with a knife,” the IDF says.— Judah Ari Gross--16:58-Egypt bans swimming off Red Sea beach after shark attack-Egypt imposes a 15-day ban on sport fishing and offshore swimming near a popular Red Sea destination where a shark attack took place last weekend.Environment Ministry officials Mohamed Salem and Beily Hatab say Monday the attack was likely caused by the combination of fishing and swimming in the same spot.The shark attack happened off Ain Sokhna, a popular holiday destination 75 miles (120 kilometers) east of the Egyptian capital, Cairo. The two officials, who are directly involved in investigating the attack, said the Egyptian man who was bitten by a shark was swimming after bait was thrown nearby.Hotels in the area were instructed to hire watchmen for their beaches.Shark attacks are rare in Egypt.— AP-16:53-Palestinian dies of wounds from West Bank clashes-The Palestinian Health Ministry says a man wounded in clashes with Israeli soldiers at a flashpoint prayer site in the West Bank has died of his wounds.It says Jamal Dweikat, 20, succumbed to his wounds on Monday.The 20-year-old was among a group of Palestinians who threw stones at Jewish worshippers at the Joseph’s Tomb, in the northern West Bank city of Nablus. He was shot in the ensuing clashes.Some Jews believe the biblical Joseph is buried in the tomb, while Muslims say a local sheikh is buried there.— AP-16:39-Trump calls scolding by Newt Gingrich ‘inappropriate’-Donald Trump says Monday it was “inappropriate” for Newt Gingrich to demand he drop the subject of an American judge’s ethnicity and start acting like “a potential leader of the United States.” But Trump did not comment on the other Republican leaders’ unanimous call for him to lay off the jurist, a sign that the GOP presidential candidate doesn’t want to blow up the fragile truce he has struck with them.Trump insists that he’s only defending himself against relentless questions about lawsuits against Trump University. US District Court Judge Gonzalo Curiel, Trump says, cannot be impartial in the lawsuits against Trump University because his parents were born in Mexico and Trump wants to build a wall along the border.“You have to respond,” Trump says on Fox News. “All I’m trying to do is figure out why I’m being treated so unfairly by a judge.”A day earlier, Gingrich said Trump’s focus on Curiel’s ethnic background was “inexcusable” and Trump’s “worst mistake.” He was one of several Republicans who publicly demanded that the presumptive GOP candidate move on and unite the party. Across the Sunday talk shows, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said that he “couldn’t disagree more” with Trump’s statements about Curiel’s impartiality, adding that “we’re all behind him now” — an implicit warning that such unity might not be the case for long.— AP-16:24-Turkish president to attend Muhammad Ali funeral-Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will attend the public memorial service for boxing legend Muhammad Ali on Friday in Louisville, a spokesman for Ali’s family says Monday.Spokesman Bob Gunnell makes the announcement as he unveils details of the ceremonies to take place in Ali’s hometown in the southern US state of Kentucky, where his coffin will be paraded through the streets before the public funeral.In Turkey, a presidential source tells AFP: “We confirm that the president will travel to Louisville, Kentucky, to attend boxing legend Muhammad Ali’s funeral. He leaves Wednesday evening.”— AFP-16:20-Army to test air raid sirens in Tel Aviv tomorrow-The IDF will activate an air raid siren in Tel Aviv tomorrow as part of an emergency preparedness exercise, the army says.At 10:10 a.m., the siren will be heard in southern Tel Aviv.At 10:20 a.m., it will be heard in northern Tel Aviv.At 10:30 a.m., it will be heard in eastern Tel Aviv.And at 10:40 a.m., it will be heard in central Tel Aviv.In the case of an actual emergency, the siren will be activated twice.The IDF will also send out a notification through its Home Front Command mobile phone application.There will also be announcements made on 102 FM and 103 FM.“The IDF spokesperson stresses that this test was planned ahead of time as part of its 2016 exercise plan and it is meant to test the alert systems,” the army says in a statement.— Judah Ari Gross-15:45-17 civilians killed in airstrikes on Syrian market-Seventeen civilians including eight children were killed on Monday, the first day of the holy Muslim month of Ramadan, in airstrikes on a market in eastern Syria, a monitor says.The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says the strikes on Al-Shaara, a town held by the Islamic State group in Deir Ezzor province, are suspected to have been carried out by either Russian or Syrian government planes.— AFP-15:24-High Court upholds rabbinate monopoly on kosher certificates-The High Court rules that a restaurant cannot present itself as kosher unless it has a certificate from the Chief Rabbinate.The court decision is a blow to alternative kashrut organizations that in recent years have offered kosher certificates in lieu of the rabbinate and effectively upholds the rabbinate’s monopoly on the matter.-15:23-Germany hits back at Erdogan in Armenian genocide row-Chancellor Angela Merkel’s office hits back Monday at Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in a blistering row over a German parliamentary vote declaring the Ottoman Empire committed genocide against Armenians.Erdogan has angrily condemned last week’s vote on the World War I massacres, charging that the 11 German MPs with Turkish roots who backed it supported “terrorism” by the banned Kurdish Workers’ Party (PKK), and demanding “blood tests” to see “what kind of Turks they are.”Merkel’s spokesman Steffen Seibert on Monday says that while Berlin also considers the PKK a terrorist group, “to associate individual members of parliament with terrorism is utterly incomprehensible to us.”“The resolution was a political initiative that emerged from the midst of the Bundestag, which is a democratically elected, independent organ under our constitution,” Seibert tells a regular press conference.“The Bundestag reached a sovereign decision. That must be respected,” Seibert says, adding that this was the message Merkel had given to the Turkish president.— AFP-14:50-B’Tselem says second Palestinian ‘executed’ in Hebron shooting-The left-wing B’Tselem human rights organization claims the second Palestinian assailant who attacked two soldiers in Hebron on March 24 was also “executed” by an IDF soldier, potentially adding yet another controversial aspect to an already divisive case.In March, Abed al-Fattah Yusri al-Sharif and Ramzi Aziz al-Qasrawi attacked two Israeli soldiers with knives in the Tel Rumeida neighborhood of the West Bank city, wounding one of them.The IDF has claimed al-Qasrawi died as a result of gunshots fired by a soldier during the attack, while al-Sharif was seriously injured.A short while later, Sgt. Elor Azaria arrived on the scene and nearly 15 minutes after the initial attack, the Kfir Brigade soldier was filmed shooting al-Sharif in the head, killing him.Azaria’s case has dominated headlines since March and divided the country.Local residents, however, now claim al-Qasrawi was only wounded in the attack and after he was already incapacitated, a soldier “shot him in the “head or neck twice from point-blank range.”According to B’Tselem, the delay in releasing this information was the result of the IDF’s 8-month closure on the Tel Rumeida neighborhood, which kept the organization’s investigators from interviewing the witnesses.As the army removed those restrictions, the B’Tselem employee could interview the two witnesses who are claiming al-Qasrawi was “executed.”The Tel Rumeida neighborhood is under surveillance by security cameras, meaning this accusation should be relatively easy to prove or disprove.An IDF spokesperson tells The Times of Israel they are looking into the new allegation.— Judah Ari Gross-14:48-Zionist Union MK says coalition option not over-Zionist Union MK Nahman Shai says the efforts to join the coalition have not concluded, and if the party receives a viable offer, it will consider it.“If we receive an offer to join the government, we will discuss it,” he tells the Knesset Channel. “The role of the party leader is to examine the feasibility of entering the government. It seems Herzog has not yet exhausted this examination.”

Astrologer on Egypt TV predicts world’s end, chaos ensues-Show with sheikh and shamen descends into mayhem, with host trying to prevent footwear-related assault over apocalyptic prediction-By Times of Israel staff June 3, 2016, 10:12 pm

An Egyptian astrologer predicted the end of the world during a TV show, and was promptly attacked by a Muslim cleric who threw a pen at him and tried to beat him with his shoe.On Egypt’s Alhadas Elyoum chat show last week, Ahmad Shaheen said the world would end in 2037. Fellow guest Sheikh Mohammad Al-Mallah declared Shaheen a charlatan, accused him of claiming that he was a god, threw his pen at him, and tried to attack him with his shoe. The show was broadcast on May 27; the clip was posted and translated Friday by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).“If you are really clairvoyant, arrange for a car to run over me!” Mallah challenged Shaheen at one point.“There are certain parties who do not want what I predict to come true,” Shaheen said at the start of the clip. “Many things have been said about me – charlatan, quack, and so on, but I don’t care.”Mallah lashed out at Shaheen, screaming: “Everybody knows that you have declared yourself a god. You have said: ‘I am thy Lord.’ This is what you said.”Not true, retorted Shaheen.“You posted pictures on the internet and wrote that the Quran came down upon you.”Shaheen remained seated, saying that many people believe him — albeit not Mallah.“You are insolent! You are insolent!” the sheikh said, before hurling a pen at his adversary.When his host rebuked him, the cleric replied: “And I’ll beat him with my shoe too.”Mallah then rose, removed his shoe and tried to hit Shaheen with it, as the host acted as a buffer between the two men.“I swear by Allah I’m going to beat you with my shoe,” he said, while his host begged him to stop. “I swear by Allah, here is my shoe.”“This is your idea of an Islamic preacher?” Shaheen asked, remaining seated and calm amid the onslaught. “Call me whatever you like, but he is no Islamic preacher. He is the best example of the distortion of the image of Islam.”After several more minutes in which a screaming Mallah tried in vain to reach Shaheen, the show came to an end — with an apology from the host.

Bennett backs Palestinian autonomy ‘on steroids’-Jewish Home leader says he won’t allow Palestinian state on his watch, touts security cabinet achievements in recent coalition spat with Netanyahu-By Times of Israel staff June 4, 2016, 9:45 pm

Jewish Home leader Naftali Bennett said Saturday that while he vehemently opposes the establishment of a Palestinian state, he does back the formation of “a Palestinian autonomy on steroids.”The education minister told Channel 2’s “Meet the Press” that such an agreement would include imposing full Israeli rule over Area C, which constitutes over 60 percent of the West Bank.Bennett has previously spoken of a “Stability Plan” in which Palestinians living in areas A (under full Palestinian control) and B (under joint Israel-Palestinian control) would govern themselves, without Israeli interference, but without true independence. Area C, which houses all Israeli settlements, would be annexed to Israel. The tens of thousands of Palestinians living in that region would be offered full Israeli citizenship, under the plan.In the interview, segments of which were aired on Thursday, Bennett said he was not opposed to holding talks and pursuing diplomacy with the Palestinians but warned that he would topple the Likud-led government if necessary in order to prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state.Responding to recent promises made by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman to pursue a peace agreement with the Palestinians, Bennet vowed that “as long as we are here [in the coalition], a Palestinian state will not be established… and Jerusalem will not be divided.”He added that his party would “stand as a fortified wall against historic mistakes,” making a reference to the Hebrew name of Operation Protective Edge, Israel’s 2014 conflict with Hamas in Gaza.He noted that Palestinian statehood was not part of the government’s policy guidelines as set down in last year’s coalition talks when Netanyahu sought to form his government after the elections.“We’re in a government that I insisted not have [the establishment of] a Palestinian state in its guidelines,” he said. “If we are talking about a return to the 1967 lines and the division of Jerusalem, I won’t just resign from the government, I’ll topple it.“We shouldn’t give up an inch of land, we shouldn’t give any land to the Palestinians,” he said emphatically.Bennett’s withdrawal of his eight-seat party from the coalition, which has a scant majority of 66-54, would effectively topple it.Likud efforts to bring in the largest opposition party, Zionist Union, into the coalition failed last month, with both sides blaming each other for the break down. Netanyahu has repeatedly called on the party’s leader, Isaac Herzog, to reconsider and join the government.Bennett said he was not opposed to the Zionist Union joining the coalition “as long as the government’s guidelines remain unchanged.”The minister also touted his “historical” achievements in a recent political struggle with Netanyahu, after his demand for an overhaul of the security cabinet briefly threatened to throw the coalition into crisis.His demand to appoint a military attaché to the cabinet was partially met by Netanyahu last week, when the two agreed to appoint the acting head of the National Security Council to the position. A committee will be formed to find a more permanent solution.“I improved the security of Israeli citizens and IDF soldiers,” he said Saturday. “In the last two wars the cabinet was blind. I won’t agree to that anymore and that is why I insisted [on the change].Bennet had demanded that an attaché provide ministers with real-time security updates, coordinate additional fact-finding visits to IDF bases and other military zones, and facilitate easier access to classified information.“I want an effective cabinet that investigates and asks questions,” he explained. “We all vote and send soldiers into battle and we need to be a professional body that knows what it’s doing.”

Israel to ease West Bank, Gaza movement during Ramadan-Measures include permits for Gazans to pray at Al-Aqsa Mosque, travel between Palestinian territories for family visits-By AFP June 3, 2016, 10:38 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

Israel announced Friday it was relaxing restrictions on the movement of Palestinians to and from the West Bank and Gaza Strip during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.The measures, similar to those of previous years, were announced by COGAT, the unit which manages civilian affairs in the West Bank under the auspices of newly appointed hardline Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman.Up to 500 people from the Gaza Strip will be allowed to attend Friday prayers at the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem over the holy month, set to begin on Monday.In addition, 200 Gaza residents will be allowed to visit relatives in the West Bank during Ramadan, and 500 Palestinians from the West Bank will be authorized to visit family in Gaza, COGAT said.Israel will also allow 300 Palestinians living abroad to visit relatives in Gaza, and 500 West Bank Palestinians would be permitted to travel out of Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv.There will be additional allowances for the Muslim holidays which follow the end of Ramadan.The COGAT statement said the measures were “in line with the Israeli civil policy striving to improve the quality of life” for Palestinians and “maintaining freedom of religion.”Israel has been facing a wave of Palestinian attacks since October that cost hundreds of Palestinian and Israeli lives, triggered in part by tensions over Al-Aqsa Mosque, Islam’s third holiest site, which sits atop the flashpoint Temple Mount, the site of the two Jewish temples in biblical times. Non-Muslims are allowed to visit the site, but not pray there.The attacks have largely abated, but a ban remains in place on Israeli lawmakers — both Muslim and Jewish — from visiting the site, to prevent tensions from flaring.But MKs from the Joint (Arab) List have informed the Knesset they intend to pray at the site during Ramadan, regardless of the ban.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

PA police push back protesters at Joseph’s Tomb-Crowd reportedly tried to set the Jewish shrine on fire after rumors spread of Palestinian teen’s death-By Times of Israel staff June 5, 2016, 4:45 am

Palestinian security forces managed to push back protesters who were advancing on the Joseph’s Tomb shrine late Saturday.According to Israeli media reports, the protesters tried to set the site on fire.The demonstration began Saturday night after the Palestinian Health Ministry reported that a wounded Palestinian teen, said to have been hurt by IDF fire on Thursday after allegedly trying to throw a firebomb at Jews praying at the site, had taken a turn for the worse in hospital.After rumors spread through the city that Jamal Dawiqat, 20, of the nearby Balata Refugee Camp, had died, protesters took to the streets, setting tires on fire and clashing with PA police.Palestinian forces surrounded the shrine and fired tear gas at the crowd, which soon dispersed.There were no immediate reports of injuries from the clashes.The Palestinian Health Ministry has reportedly denied the rumors of Dawiqat’s death.Earlier Saturday, shots were fired at an Israeli vehicle near Migdalim Junction in the northern West Bank.The shots reportedly came from cement trucks parked on the side of the road.No one was hurt in the attack.

US now hitting IS targets from Mediterranean Sea-Navy’s top admiral reveals aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman has joined campaign against jihadist group-By Robert Burns June 5, 2016, 3:42 am-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

SINGAPORE (AP) — The US Navy’s top admiral says the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman has begun launching airstrikes against the Islamic State group from the Mediterranean Sea.That opens a new direction of attack against the militants in Iraq and Syria.Adm. John Richardson said in an Associated Press interview Saturday that this unusual arrangement is a demonstration of the flexibility of naval power.The Navy for years positioned its carriers in the Persian Gulf to conduct airstrikes against targets in the Middle East.The Truman had been in the Gulf but in recent days moved into the eastern Mediterranean and resumed air operations.The Truman eventually will return to its home port at Norfolk, Virginia, and be replaced in the Gulf by the aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower.

UN, France slam Syria for refusing aid to besieged areas-Humanitarian chief Stephen O’Brien looks to air drops to help some 350,000 people in areas blockaded by regime-By Edith M. Lederer June 5, 2016, 3:38 am-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Access to millions of Syrians in need of help is worsening as violence increases across the war-torn country, the UN humanitarian chief warned Friday, and the Security Council announced it will formally ask Damascus to allow air drops to besieged areas.Stephen O’Brien said he told a closed emergency council meeting that recent attacks “are creating new humanitarian emergencies and compounding the challenges” as access continues to be denied to some besieged locations where needs are most acute.The 5-year-old civil war in Syria has killed some 250,000 people, displaced millions and left vast swaths of the country in ruins, enabling the Islamic State extremist group to take control of large areas of the country. A Russia- and US-brokered truce began on Feb. 27, but fighting has continued to rage in many areas.While the United Nations continues to provide aid to millions of Syrians every month, O’Brien said it needs access and “the consent of the Syrian government and all necessary security guarantees, in order to conduct air drops.”The International Syria Support Group, a coalition of world powers known as the ISSG, had called for the UN World Food Program to unilaterally deliver food to besieged Syrians starting June 1 if access wasn’t granted by the government.France’s UN Ambassador Francois Delattre, the current Security Council president, said the UN “will ask Damascus to authorize humanitarian air drops to reach localities for which land access was denied by the Syrian regime.”He said Syria’s authorization of some aid convoys to besieged towns is “at best a drop in the ocean.”“We have not been fooled by the Syrian regime’s ploy to authorize certain convoys which turn out to be empty of food or medicine or both,” Delattre said. “There is a strong momentum here in the Security Council, a strong pressure on the Syrian regime, to say ‘enough is enough.'”Syria’s UN Ambassador Bashar Jaafari insisted that “humanitarian aid has never been denied by the Syrian government to any part of the country.” He dismissed “baseless allegations” by some council members that the government is hindering deliveries to certain areas and insisted the council meeting was an attempt “to demonize the government” and exert “political pressure” ahead of the next round of talks aimed at ending the war.Jaafari, Syria’s chief negotiator at the peace talks, refused to say whether Syria would authorize air drops.The Syrian government announced late Thursday that it approved the delivery of aid to 36 “restive areas” and partial deliveries to eight other areas in June.The United Nations had requested access to 34 locations to help 1.1 million people and Syria approved 23 requests in full and six partially, and rejected five, UN humanitarian spokeswoman Amanda Pitt said.O’Brien, the undersecretary-general for humanitarian affairs, said the UN needs “full approval” of its June request.That request included all 19 locations officially designated as besieged areas except Yarmouk, which is covered by the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, and Deir el-Zour, which is under siege by Islamic State extremists and is already receiving airdrops, Pitt said.Of the 17 besieged locations that the UN sought to aid, Pitt said Syria approved 12 requests in full and three partially — Moadamiyeh, Daraya and Douna, where it approved medical assistance, school supplies and milk for children.Syria rejected UN requests to send aid to Zabadani, a mountain resort which has been besieged by government forces and Lebanon’s Hezbollah fighters since last year, and Waer, the last rebel-held neighborhood in the central city of Homs, Pitt said.O’Brien said the UN has been able to reach 40 percent of the 592,700 people in besieged areas. But he said only two besieged locations were reached by land in May, a sign of the potential importance of air drops, which are more difficult and costly.WFP said it is “activating” its air delivery plan following a request from the ISSG, which is led by the US and Russia. But it stressed the need for authorizations and funding first.The UN food agency said late Thursday that 15 besieged areas would require helicopter operations for air drops if land access is not granted. High-altitude air drops are taking place in Deir el-Zour and would be possible in two other villages, it said.Russia’s UN Ambassador Vitaly Churkin, Syria’s close ally, said Moscow is looking at “all possibilities” including air drops if they are effective. But he strongly criticized unnamed council members for trying to make humanitarian access a precondition for peace negotiations, calling this “an immoral position.”

Fire up the oven’: Neo-Nazis target Jewish candidate in California-Trump-supporting white supremacists use racist website to coordinate online attacks against Erin Schrode, 25, a candidate in California’s Democratic primary this week-By Times of Israel staff June 5, 2016, 6:46 am

Erin Schrode, 25, is hoping to become the Democratic candidate for Congress from California’s second district after the state’s Democratic primary this week.Schrode is also Jewish.This week, she says, she has seen a torrent of anti-Semitic abuse hurled at her online in a coordinated campaign on a neo-Nazi blog that has backed Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.The attacks reflect “more and more anti-Semitism this election cycle,” Schrode told BuzzFeed.Late Saturday, she posted on Facebook some of the vitriol she has received.“Everyone knows it’s TIME for America’s first evil retarded teen cunt Congress kike!”“Fire up the oven!”“All would laugh with glee as they gang raped her and then bashed her bagel eating brains in.”Another comment, quoted by BuzzFeed, reads, “Get out of my country, kike. Get to Israel where you belong. That or the oven. Take your pick.”Her personal email, social media handles and cellphone number were posted to the Daily Stormer website, one of the most influential Neo-Nazi websites in the US, run by Trump backer Andrew Anglin.The result: “I woke up yesterday and today to hundreds of such vile messages,” Schrode said.“This unspeakable vitriol goes far beyond anti-Semitism. It is not merely an attack on me or on one people,” she wrote on Facebook, “but rather an attack on any individual or group who is targeted because of faith, race, nationality, gender, ability, orientation or other arbitrary classification.”She has reported the harassment to law enforcement agencies. “The FBI was contacted by multiple people on our behalf…. The local police will do extra patrols in the area. And they are well aware, should anything occur here,” she said.Schrode is not the only prominent American Jew to face a torrent of online abuse by racists claiming to support Donald Trump.The Anti-Defamation League established a task force last month to study the issue after large numbers of Jewish journalists faced abuse after criticizing Trump.The group is seeing “white supremacists coming out of the cracks in ways that are really quite frightening,” its director Jonathan Greenblatt told The Times of Israel in March.“I don’t know what’s in his head or in his heart,” said Greenblatt of Trump. “But I do know that he’s certainly pushing buttons that have been pushed before — whether he’s doing it with deliberate intention, or kind of slouching toward those things. Either way, the outcome is the same.”Trump has won the support of central figures in American white supremacist circles, including former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard David Duke.

EZEKIEL 29:1-12-put russia-arab-muslims in place of egypt-their judgements here.
1 In the tenth year, in the tenth month, in the twelfth day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2  Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt:
3  Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers, which hath said, My river is mine own, and I have made it for myself.
4  But I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick unto thy scales, and I will bring thee up out of the midst of thy rivers, and all the fish of thy rivers shall stick unto thy scales.
5  And I will leave thee thrown into the wilderness, thee and all the fish of thy rivers: thou shalt fall upon the open fields; thou shalt not be brought together, nor gathered: I have given thee for meat to the beasts of the field and to the fowls of the heaven.
6  And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the LORD, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.
7  When they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou didst break, and rend all their shoulder: and when they leaned upon thee, thou brakest, and madest all their loins to be at a stand.
8  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and cut off man and beast out of thee.
9  And the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste; and they shall know that I am the LORD: because he hath said, The river is mine, and I have made it.
10  Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the tower of Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia.
11  No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years.
12  And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be desolate forty years: and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.

ISAIAH 9:11-14
11  Therefore the LORD shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and join his enemies together;
12  The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
13  For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, neither do they seek the LORD of hosts.
14  Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day.

ISAIAH 30:28-30
28  And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err.
29  Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel.
30  And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.

EZEKIEL 36:4-5
5  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Surely in the fire (NUCLEAR BOMBS) of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against all Idumea,(ARAB-MUSLIMS) which have appointed my land into their possession with the joy of all their heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey.
6  Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury,(OF MY ANGER) because ye have borne the shame of the heathen:
7  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I have lifted up mine hand, Surely the heathen that are (Round) about you,(ARAB-MUSLIMS) they shall bear their shame.(AND BE NUKED)

EZEKIEL 35:9-11
9 I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy (ARABS) cities shall not return: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
10 Because thou (ARABS) hast said, These two nations (ISRAEL & JUDAH) and these two countries (ISRAEL & JUDAH) shall be mine, and we (ARABS) will possess it; whereas the LORD was there:
11 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy (GELIOUSY) which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them;(ISRAELIS) and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee.(ARABS)

ISAIAH 41:11
11  Behold, all they that were incensed against thee (ISRAEL) shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing;(DESTROYED) and they that strive with thee shall perish.(ISRAEL HATERS WILL BE TOTALLY DESTROYED)

REVELATION 9:16-18 RUSSIA-CHINA-BOTH FLAGS HAVE 2 OF THESE COLORS IN THEIR FLAGS
16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand:(200 MILLION ARMY FROM CHINA TO KILL 2 BILLION PEOPLE) and I heard the number of them.
17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire,(FIRERY RED) and of jacinth,(DEEP BLUE) and brimstone:(PALE YELLOW) and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.

EZEKIEL 38:1-23
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog,(RULER) the land of Magog,(RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech (MOSCOW) and Tubal,(TOBOLSK) and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog,(LEADER OF RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW) and Tubal:TOBOLSK)
4 And I (GOD) will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws,(GOD FORCES THE RUSSIA-MUSLIMS TO MARCH) and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5 Persia,(IRAN,IRAQ) Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6 Gomer,(GERMANY) and all his bands; the house of Togarmah (TURKEY) of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.(AFRICAN MUSLIMS,SUDAN,TUNESIA ETC)
7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.(RUSSIA-EGYPT AND MUSLIMS)
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say,(RUSSIA-ARAB-MUSLIMS) I will go up to the land of unwalled villages;(ISRAEL) I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil,(OIL IS IN SPOIL) and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
13  Sheba, and Dedan,(SAUDI-ARABIA) and the merchants of Tarshish,(SPAIN) with all the young lions thereof,(ENGLAND,AND ALL ITS ASSOCIATES-CANADA,AUSTRALIA-NEW ZEALAND, USA, AND WESTERN ENGLISH SPEAKING NATIONS) shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?(OIL IS IN SPOIL-I BELIEVE THATS WHY RUSSIA,ARAB/MUSLIMS MARCH TO ISRAEL)
14  Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?
15  And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:
16  And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
17  Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them?
18  And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face.
19  For in my jealousy and in the fire (atomic bomb) of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
20  So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
21  And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man’s sword shall be against his brother.
22  And I will plead against him with pestilence (biological,chemical,nuclear) and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.(NUKED,THEN MIGRATING BIRDS EAT RUSSIA/ARAB/MUSLIMS FLESH)
23  Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.

EZEKIEL 39:1-29
1 Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog,(LEADER OF RUSSIA) and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech (MOSCOW) and Tubal: (TUBOLSK)
2 And I will turn thee back,(RUSSIA-ARAB MUSLIM ISRAEL HATERS) and leave but the sixth part of thee,(5/6TH OR 300 MILLION DEAD RUSSIAN/ARAB/MUSLIMS I BELIEVE) and will cause thee to come up from the north parts,(RUSSIA) and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands,( ARABS) and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
6 And I will send a fire on Magog,(NUCLEAR ATOMIC BOMB) and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
7 So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
8 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken.
9  And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years:
10  So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord GOD.
11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog (RUSSIA/ARAB/MUSLIMS) a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers (EAST OF THE DEAD SEA IN JORDAN VALLEY) on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog (RUSSIAN) and all his multitude:(ARAB/MUSLIM HORDE) and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.(BURIEL SITE OF THE 300 MILLION,RUSSIAN/ARAB/MUSLIMS)
12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.(OF ISRAEL)
13 Yea, all the people of the land (OF ISRAEL) shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I (GOD-JESUS) shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD.
14 And they shall sever out men of continual employment,(NUCLEAR ATOMIC BOMB EXPERTS) passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.
15 And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man’s bone, then shall he set up a sign by it,(WON'T TOUCH IT) till the buriers have buried it (PROPERLY) in the valley of Hamongog.(RUSSIA/ARAB/MUSLIMS NEW BURIEL SITE)(EAST OF THE DEAD SEA IN THE JORDAN VALLEY)
16 And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.(OF THE ISRAEL-GOD HATERS)
17 And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl,(500 MILLION MIGRATING BIRDS THREW ISRAEL EVERY SPRING,FALL) and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.(OF THE RUSSIAN/ARAB/MUSLIM ARMIES)
18 Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
19 And ye (MIGRATING BIRDS IN ISRAEL) shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.(RUSSIAN/ARAB/MUSLIM ISRAEL HATERS)
20 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD.
21 And I (GOD-JESUS) will set my glory among the heathen,(WORLD NATIONS) and all the heathen (WORLD NATIONS) shall see my judgment that I have executed,(AGAINST ISRAELS ENEMIES) and my (GODS) hand that I have laid upon them.(ISRAELS HATER ENEMIES)
22  So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward.
23  And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.
24  According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.
25  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name;
26  After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid.
27  When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;
28  Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.
29  Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.

UPDATE-JUNE 01,2016-11:03AM
THE IRAN DEAL WASN'T ABOUT NUKES AT ALL. OBAMA WANTED A FOREIGN POLICY VICTORY AND TO GET OUTTA THE MIDEAST AS A LEADER. AND TO LET RUSSIA-IRAN TAKE THE LEAD CONTROL IN THE MIDEAST. SO AMERICA WOULD NOT HAVE TO BE THE WORLD POLICEMEN. AND BESIDES THAT-OBAMA BEING A SUNNI-ARAB MUSLIM. COULD EXPAND ISLAMS WORLD ROLE. BY BACKING OUT OF THE MIDEAST. AND WITH RUSSIA AND IRAN THE MILITARY LEADERS IN THE MIDEAST. WHAT A BETTER WAY FOR OBAMA-THE ISRAEL HATER-TO STOP HELPING ISRAEL IN EVERY WAY. AS RUSSIA WILL BE THE MAIN LEADER IN THE MIDEAST. BUT RUSSIA WILL DISQUISE ITS MUSLIM LEADERSHIP BY LETTING IRAN DO ALL THE THREATS AGAINST ISRAEL.WHILE RUSSIA GATHERS ALL THE ARAB-MUSLIM COUNTRIES IN THE MIDEAST TO GET READY TO MAKE WAR WITH ISRAEL. TO GET RID OF THEM ONCE AND FOR ALL IN THE MIDEAST. THEN ISLAM WOULD COUNTROL THE WHOLE MIDEAST. THEN RUSSIA-IRAN COULD PULL THE SAME TRICK ON THE WESTERN COUNTRIES ALSO AFTER THAT. AND AMERICA AND THEIR ARAB-MUSLIM LEADER OBAMA-LIKE HE WANTS-TO GET RID OF ISRAEL. AND LET ISLAM CONTROL THE WHOLE EARTH. WELL HIS WISH WILL NOT COME TRUE. GOD WILL PROTECT ISRAEL. AND THEY WILL NEVER EVER BE FULLY DESTROYED EVER AGAIN AS A NATION. ISRAEL AND JERUSALEM WILL TOGETHER FOREVER BE ON EARTH. NO MATTER WHO SCHEMES TO ELIMINATE ISRAEL. ITS NEVER GONNA HAPPEN. BUT OBAMA LEAD BY SATAN-SURE IS TRYING TO SET UP ISRAELS ELIMINATION FROM EARTH. NOW WE KNOW WHY THE FLOODS AND DISASTERS ARE GETTING WORSE AND WORSE IN AMERICA. IF A COUNTRIES LEADER WANTS TO GET RID OF ISRAEL. GOD WILL MAKE SURE THAT COUNTRY GETS DESTROYED. SO AMERICA UNLESS THIS IRAN DEAL IS SCRAPPED. RUSSIA-IRAN AND THE MUSLIM COUNTRIES WILL BE AFTER ISRAELS FINALITY ONCE AND FOR ALL. AMERICANS DEMAND THIS IRAN DEAL IS STOPPED IMMEDIATELY. OR AMERICA WILL FIND THE DISASTERS WILL GET WORSE AND WORSE.TILL AMERICAS SO BROKE FROM ALL THE DISASTERS-IT WILL BRING ON THE STCK MARKET CRASH THAT WILL FINISH AMERICA OFF AS THE WORLD LEADER. THEN THE EUROPEAN UNION WILL STEP IN AND TAKE AMERICAS ROLE AS WORLD POLICE OVER. AND BIBLE PROPHECY WILL BE ON FAST TRACK TO FULFILLMENT. SO WE SEE THAT IF GOD USES NATURAL DISASTERS-HE CAN DESTROY AMERICA FROM WITHIN. THAT WILL FORCE THE WORLD MARKET CRASH. THAT WILL THEN FORCE THE CASHLESS MICROCHIP IMPLANT SYSTEM IMPLIMENTED BY THE EUROPEAN UNION ON ALL ON EARTH. AFTER THE CHRISTIANS ARE RAPTURED TO HEAVEN OF COURSE. SO GET READY AMERICA. JUDGEMENT FOR OBAMA TRYING TO GET RID OF ISRAEL WILL BE DEADLY. THESE END OF THE WORLD-ASTEROID-BUNKER-FOOD AND GUN HOARDERS. GET IN YOUR BUNKERS. CAUSE GODS JUDGEMENT WILL BE COMING ON AMERICA BIGTIME. NOW WE KNOW WHY THE FLOODING IS SO BAD IN TEXAS RIGHT NOW. AND I PREDICT EVERY DISASTER ON AMERICA WILL GET WORSE. THEN THE FINAL KA-BOOM. EITHER A GIGANTIC EARTHQUAKE TO DESTROY AMERICAN CITIES. OR NUCLEAR WEAPONS TO KILL MILLIONS IN AMERICAN CITIES. SO BETWEEN THE DISASTERS AND ATOMIC BOMBS. I'D SAY AMERICA WILL BE DIVIDED QUICKLY. AND SPEAKING OF OBAMA WANTING ISRAEL DIVIDED WITH THE ARABS. NOW WE KNOW WHY AMERICA AND THE RACE DIVISION IS SO BAD IN AMERICA. YOU WANNA DIVIDE ISRAEL. GOD WILL NOT ONLY DIVIDE YOUR LAND WITH EARTHQUAKE. BUT GOD WILL DIVIDE THE PEOPLE TO HATE EACH OTHER IN THAT LAND ALSO. SO EVERYTHING IS COMING CLEAR TO ME NOW-WHY AMERICA IS SUCH A RACE BAITING-DIVIDED COUNTRY NOW. THE DIVISION OF AMERICANS IS BECAUSE SUNNI-ARAB MUSLIM OBAMA IS TRYING TO DIVIDE. AND NOW GET RID OF ISRAEL FOR GOOD.THREW THIS IRAN DEAL BY LETTING RUSSIA-IRAN CONTROL THE MIDEAST.

The Iran Deal Wasn’t About Nukes At All-The Obama administration decided early on that the only way to get the United States out of the Middle East was to replace it with Russia and Iran.-Tom Nichols-May 23, 2016-the federalist

Remember the Iran deal? Of course you do. The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) was one of the greatest diplomatic agreements of our time, a last-ditch effort to stop Iran from acquiring a nuclear bomb and thus avert inevitable military action by the United States and its allies. Hard negotiations provided a verifiable inspections plan that would keep Iran walking the straight and narrow for at least a decade, if not longer. The media, of course, served only as the impartial platform for analysis and debate.Anyone who doubted this narrative or raised almost any objections to the deal was just a hater, maybe even a racist with a personal grudge against Barack Obama. (Also against the deal, of course: Jews with divided loyalties.) After all, the experts—non-partisan, of course—assured us that everything was in order.This was all nonsense. What really happened was that the White House put out a set of talking points, not all of them true or accurate, to a trusted circle of journalists and advocacy groups. Those groups worked with experts in other groups, who then supported those talking points in media already friendly to the White House narrative. Asked for comment, the White House agreed with the experts it had primed, then fed more talking points back into the loop.We no longer have to speculate about this. As anyone paying attention now knows, Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes—it’s so hard to type those words—couldn’t help but take a victory lap in front of The New York Times. Rhodes named names and organizations, crowing that the White House had created “an echo chamber” mainly composed of journalists who are “27 years old and…literally know nothing.”-Follow the Money, Indeed-Critics of the Rhodes story have pushed back, in some cases with justification. Rhodes’s shot at Jeffery Goldberg of The Atlantic, for example, was inexplicable and gratuitous; Goldberg is neither 27 nor a greenhorn. On the other hand, Rhodes also named Al-Monitor’s Laura Rozen, to absolutely no one’s surprise. As Mark Hemingway has noted, “Rozen’s slavish devotion to Obama’s Iran policy has been something to behold,” and Rhodes naming her seems almost beside the point now.-What should raise more eyebrows was that Ploughshares didn’t limit its largess to like-minded groups about nuclear weapons.Iran deal defenders claim this is all a nothingburger. Rhodes never had that much influence, they say, and no one really adopted his talking points. The experts he claims to have pulled along on the deal were impartial analysts who liked the JCPOA anyway. After all, it’s not like anyone was spreading money around; indeed, the accusation of being on the take was mostly aimed at the deal’s opponents, who ostensibly stood to benefit from another war in the Middle East.Except there was plenty of money out there. The Ploughshares Fund has been completely upfront about the cash it dumped on other groups before and during the Iran deal debate. Let’s leave aside some of the arms-control experts, since I think it’s fair to say there is no circumstance in which those organizations would oppose a nuclear deal between Obama’s White House and the Iranians. (Whether they sugar-coated aspects of the deal is another matter, but we’ll get back to that.)-What should raise more eyebrows was that Ploughshares didn’t limit its largess to like-minded groups about nuclear weapons (the issue to which Ploughshares, in theory, is dedicated). Ploughshares and its chairman, Joe Cirincione, also dropped some serious coin on National Public Radio, to the tune of some $700,000 since 2005, with grants since 2010—spoiler alert—specifically mentioning Iran. NPR then had Cirincione on to explain the awesomeness of the nuclear deal, at least once forgetting to mention he’d given them several hundred thousand dollars.Later, Cirinicione hammered home his totally non-partisan and completely independent expert view in a Huffington Post article, in moment replete with both chutzpah and irony.Neoconservatives are furious that their efforts to trick the country into another unnecessary war in the Middle East failed. They spent tens of millions of dollars in an orchestrated campaign to kill diplomacy with Iran. They lost. The nuclear agreement with Iran is in place and working. It has prevented an Iranian bomb and prevented a new war.“They can’t stand it,” Cirinicione mugged, as though Iran deal opponents had lost a vote for class president. (Rhodes put it differently: “We drove them crazy.”) Cirincione went on like that, but you get the idea.-We’re Spending Money for No Reason At All-The idea that the Obama administration was ever going to go to war over the Iranian nuclear program is ridiculous, but it was a central talking point during the fight over the JCPOA. To believe Obama would have used force against Iran would have represented either incredible credulity, or revealed a conscious effort to participate in a campaign meant to create an echo chamber, in which…Oh.As if that wasn’t enough of a margin of safety, Ploughshares shot some money over to that well-known group of physicists and nuclear strategists, J Street. Of course, J Street isn’t an arms-control group. It’s a political organization, in theory dedicated to greater Israeli security but in reality a progressive advocate for any number of policies which are inimical to Israeli interests.Why was Ploughshares giving money—over a half million dollars—to a political advocacy group? This isn’t the place to rehash J Street’s left-wing record, which speaks for itself. But why was Ploughshares giving money—over a half million dollars—to a political advocacy group? Good question. J Street’s response was a vow that it took the money “to advance the nuclear agreement with Iran out of the belief that this is an important agreement which contributes mightily to Israel’s security.”Ploughshares and everyone else involved in this hackery quickly responded by promising that their motives were only of the purest public interest. In a laugh-out-loud moment, Ploughshares spokeswoman Jennifer Abrahamson actually said that dropping a pile of money on NPR “does not influence the editorial content of their coverage in any way, nor would we want it to.” That’s because, remember, Ploughshares is non-partisan: just because Cirincione has said that “President Obama’s political opponents try to block everything he does,” that doesn’t make him a partisan.He said that on NPR, by the way.What’s the Real Game Here? The smug admissions by Rhodes and others that the “echo chamber” was real and did its job are grating. But to focus on Rhodes and Cirincione spiking the football is to miss a more important question: Why did everyone go to such lengths over a deal that was supposed to be so good? Selling the deal required subterfuge and misdirection because the Iran deal was never about nuclear weapons.Rhodes, of course, says it’s because everyone but the White House and its friends were too stupid to understand how smart the deal was. The real answer, however, is as unsettling as it is simple: selling the deal required subterfuge and misdirection because the Iran deal was never about nuclear weapons.The White House and its supporters were set on two goals, one of them trivial, the other terrifying. The trivial objective was to give a failed presidency at least one foreign policy legacy item. That was to be expected, since the Obama administration, in permanent campaign mode since the day the president took office, has presided over the worst American foreign policy in the modern era.The more stomach-churning objective is that the administration, as it turned out, really believed in its pledges to get America out of the Middle East, and decided early on that the only way to do this was to replace the United States in the region with a duumvirate of Russia and Iran. Here, the JCPOA was part of a huge gamble to transform the region, with nuclear weapons the secondary rather than primary issue. That’s why J Street and others were involved: they were far less concerned with notional Iranian nuclear weapons than they were with advancing President Obama’s Middle East legacy—without having to admit what it was.Many of us who opposed the Iran deal suspected this was going on, but we could only reconstruct evidence for that suspicion indirectly. (One analyst who got it right early: Mike Doran, previously of the Bush 43 National Security Countil and the Brookings Institution, and now at the Hudson Institute.) But then Rhodes shot his mouth off to The New York Times, thus saving the rest of us any further detective work.-This Wasn’t About Nukes At All-Knowing that Rhodes stage-managed the message, then gave it to allies with checks to write—including to the media—renders any other debate on the details of the JCPOA pointless. This is where these revelations undermined “expert” views: the experts were baited into arguing over details that were, in the main, irrelevant.It makes no difference if this or that provision of the deal is ironclad, because the White House never had an intention of enforcing any of it.It makes no difference if this or that provision of the deal is ironclad, because the White House never had an intention of enforcing any of it. The JCPOA wasn’t a deal to stop a nuclear weapon, it was part of a plan to further a foreign policy agenda with which very few Americans would agree if it were stated to them clearly and unequivocally.For those of us who thought the Iran deal didn’t pass the sniff test from the start, it is bitter consolation that all this is coming out now. Sometimes being right isn’t much of a comfort, and this is one of those times. But there’s a far more damaging problem in all this: not only has the United States burned a lot of its credibility in this farce, but so have a fair number of journalists and experts.I don’t expect arms-control groups not to take money from other groups. If the Arms Control Association is getting a grant from Ploughshares, good on them; that’s what they’re supposed to do. But when the White House’s point man on the deal brags about creating an echo chamber, then names a group that turns out to be funding not only the sources of expert advice but a major journalistic outlet, that damages everyone in the debate.-We’re Better than You So We Can Break the Rules-As Rhodes himself admitted, another administration might be able to make the same play:When…asked whether the prospect of this same kind of far-reaching spin campaign being run by a different administration is something that scares him, he admitted that it does. ‘I mean, I’d prefer a sober, reasoned public debate, after which members of Congress reflect and take a vote,’ he said, shrugging. ‘But that’s impossible.’Donald Trump, take note. (Hillary Clinton already knows how to do this, and didn’t need any additional encouragement.)-In this, Rhodes and his minions are the living embodiment of the true motto of the Obama administration: Quod licet Iovi, non licet bovi, or “What is permissible for the gods is not allowed for cattle.” You little people in the next administration shouldn’t try what Obama and Rhodes and their enablers did; that’s only for special and virtuous people like…well, like Obama and Rhodes and their enablers.I opposed the Iran deal because I could see, as others did ahead of me, that this was an exercise in flawed negotiation that violated almost every basic rule of Diplomacy 101. But I am especially pained by the role of experts here, because—as incredible as this will seem—I largely agree with the goals of organizations like Ploughshares.I think we have too many nuclear weapons. (I don’t see anyone getting to zero, but we can get to “very low.”) I think the United States is too reliant on outdated notions of nuclear deterrence. As I have argued at in print and at length, I believe our nuclear strategy is unrealistic and I believe using nuclear weapons is fundamentally immoral.I have been on the same side of these experts in many debates. But after the Iran deal, this is one time I wish some of the people on my side weren’t on my side.Tom Nichols is a professor of national security affairs at the U.S. Naval War College and an adjunct professor in the Harvard Extension School.

Paris summit communiqué in full-Half-day international meet ends with statement calling for conference by year’s end, assertion that two-state solution ‘is the only way’-By Times of Israel staff June 3, 2016, 4:00 pm

A half-day international conference in Paris on kick-starting the Israeli-Palestinian peace process ended Friday with a reaffirmation of a “negotiated two-state solution,” the announcement of a planned summit between the two parties by year’s end, and a warning that “the status quo is not sustainable.”The communiqué in full:“The Participants met in Paris on June 3, 2016 to reaffirm their support for a just, lasting and comprehensive solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.“They reaffirmed that a negotiated two-state solution is the only way to achieve an enduring peace, with two states, Israel and Palestine, living side by side in peace and security. They are alarmed that actions on the ground, in particular continued acts of violence and ongoing settlement activity, are dangerously imperiling the prospects for a two-state solution.“The Participants underscored that the status quo is not sustainable, and stressed the importance of both sides demonstrating, with policies and actions, a genuine commitment to the two-state solution in order to rebuild trust and create the conditions for fully ending the Israeli occupation that began in 1967 and resolving all permanent status issues through direct negotiations based on resolutions 242 (1967), 338 (1973), and also recalling relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions and highlighting the importance of the implementation of the Arab Peace Initiative.“The Participants discussed possible ways in which the international community could help advance the prospects for peace, including by providing meaningful incentives to the parties to make peace. The Participants also highlighted the potential for regional peace and security as envisioned by the Arab Peace Initiative.“The Participants highlighted the key role of the Quartet and key regional stakeholders. They welcomed the interested countries’ offer to contribute to this effort. They also welcomed France’s offer to coordinate it, and the prospect of convening before the end of the year an international conference.”

EU foreign policy chief at Paris summit: Status quo threatens Oslo Accords-Mogherini says EU wants to facilitate talks not impose terms; Hamas condemns summit, says it infringes ‘national principles of Palestinians’-By Times of Israel staff and AFP June 3, 2016, 3:22 pm

EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini exhorted world powers Friday to revive moribund peace talks between the Israelis and Palestinians, saying the status quo endangers the 1993 Oslo Accords.Speaking in Paris at a peace summit organized by France, Mogherini said the European Union would help lay the groundwork for bringing the two sides back to the negotiating table, but had no intention of dictating an imposed solution.The aim of the summit was not to impose terms, she said. But the EU was aiming to create conditions in which substantive negotiations could resume. Without peace talks, she said, the existing arrangements between Israel and the Palestinian Authority could be undermined.“The policy of settlement expansion and demolitions, violence, and incitement tells us very clearly that the perspective that Oslo opened up is seriously at risk of fading away,” she told reporters.Meanwhile, Hamas and three other Palestinian groups on Friday condemned Paris talks aimed at kickstarting peace negotiations with Israel.Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and his Fatah movement have thrown their weight firmly behind the French initiative, which hosts representatives of some 25 countries, the United Nations, European Union and Arab League, on Friday.Israel has rejected the initiative, calling for direct talks with the Palestinian Authority, while the Hamas terror group, which rules the Gaza Strip, condemned all talk of a negotiated settlement.“We stress our rejection of this initiative and of every move which aims to return to futile negotiations,” Hamas and other Palestinian terror groups said in a statement Friday.“The ideas presented by France in the form of an initiative represent a serious infringement on the shared national principles of Palestinians, especially the right of return,” read a joint statement from Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine.Several million Palestinians live in the nations surrounding Israel, and Palestinians demand that they be allowed to return to their former land.For Israelis, such a move poses an existential question to a Jewish state. Nonetheless, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he seeks a two-state solution, with a demilitarized Palestine that recognize Israel as the Jewish state.Palestinians and Israelis are not represented in the Paris talks, which aim to lay the ground for a full-fledged peace conference to be held by the end of the year.Speaking at the opening of the conference, French President Francois Hollande urged Israel and the Palestinians to make a “courageous choice” for peace.After decades of failed negotiations, few believe the climate is right to bring together Israelis and Palestinians for another shot at solving one of the world’s longest-running conflicts.But senior Palestinian official Saeb Erakat said France’s bid offered “a flicker of hope” for a resolution to the conflict.

Israel: Paris summit was a ‘missed opportunity,’ distances peace-Foreign Ministry accuses international community of caving to Abbas’s demands, and thus hardening the Palestinians’ stance-By Times of Israel staff June 3, 2016, 5:41 pm

Israel on Friday blasted an international summit in Paris aimed at reviving the stalled Middle East peace process as a “missed opportunity.” It said international leaders’ willingness to yield to the demands of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas only served to make his position more obdurate and extreme.“The conference in Paris was a missed opportunity,” the Foreign Ministry said Friday, shortly after the half-day summit of officials from 28 countries ended with a call for an international peace conference by the end of the year and a reaffirmation of the two-state solution as the sole means to resolve the conflict.“Instead of urging Abu Mazen [Abbas] to respond to calls from the prime minister [Benjamin Netanyahu] to start direct negotiations immediately and without preconditions, the international community responded to Abu Mazen’s demands and allowed him to keep avoiding direct bilateral negotiations without preconditions. It will go down in history that the conference in Paris simply resulted in hardened Palestinian positions and distances peace,” the ministry said.Neither Israel nor the Palestinians were invited to the summit.The Palestinian leadership, by contrast, hailed the summit as a “significant step” on the path to peace. “The Paris meeting is a very significant step and its message is clear: If Israel is allowed to continue its colonization and apartheid policies in occupied Palestine, the future will be for more extremism and bloodshed rather than for coexistence and peace,” PLO secretary general Saeb Erekat said in a statement. “We negotiated bilaterally with Israel, the occupying power, for over two decades, but they continue to violate all the agreements that we had signed. In fact the number of illegal Israeli settlers in Occupied Palestine has grown from nearly 200,000 to over 600,000 during the past 20 years of bilateral talks.”Israel consistently opposed the Paris summit, and has called instead for direct talks between Netanyahu and Abbas.Israel’s Internal Security Minister Gilad Erdan said what was happening in Paris was “surreal,” since it was entirely unrealistic to believe that anything said or done there could change things for the better on the ground. The only way to solve the conflict was via direct talks, but Abbas “has been boycotting Israel for the past seven years,” said Erdan Friday, and has decided to spend “the remainder of his days trying to damage Israel internationally.”The director general of the Foreign Ministry, Dore Gold, said Thursday that France’s push to restart talks, which began with the Friday meeting in the French capital, was doomed to failure.“The only way to get a stable regional arrangement that will allow us to create real peace in the Middle East is if the parties of the region come to understandings between them,” Gold said.“We believe the Arab states would give backing to direct negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians,” he added. “Therefore we prefer a Middle Eastern process and not a process that somebody is trying to create in Paris.”Gold compared the French peace push to a 1916 British-French effort to carve up the Middle East following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. The effort by British diplomat Mark Sykes and Francois Georges-Picot of France “was at the apex of the era of colonialism in our area,” Gold said. “Their effort failed as we see today in the deserts of Iraq and Syria.”

Saudi FM in Paris: Arab Initiative is best way to end Mideast conflict-Adel al-Jubeir tells reporters Arab League-backed plan has ‘all the elements needed for a final resolution’-By Suha Halifa June 3, 2016, 4:31 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

The Arab Peace Initiative is “still on the table,” and is the best way to reach a solution to the decades-long Israeli-Arab conflict, Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir said Friday in Paris, where diplomats and officials from 28 countries gathered to discuss ways to kick-start the long moribund Middle East peace process.“The initiative has all the elements needed for a final resolution,” al-Jubeir said, adding that it could not be “diluted” and that he hoped “Israel will wise-up” to the opportunity it constitutes.Responding to a question in Arabic, al-Jubeir said that the API, first drafted by Riyadh in 2002 and subsequently backed by the Arab League, has not been and would not be amended. Israel has raised objections to elements of the initiative, which calls for an Israeli withdrawal from all territories captured in the 1967 Six Day War and an agreed resolution to the issue of Palestinian refugees, in return for normalized relations with the Arab world.“The Arab Peace Initiative does not need changing or adjusting, it is on the table as is,” al-Jubeir said, repeating that the essence of the plan is Israel’s return to the “1967 lines” and the establishment of East Jerusalem as the capital of a future Palestinian state.The Saudi foreign minister also said that the issue of natural resources such as water needed resolving, and called for Israel to halt settlement construction.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday partially endorsed the initiative, offering to negotiate with the Arab world the parameters of the plan.“I take this opportunity to make clear that I remain committed to making peace with the Palestinians and with all our neighbors. The Arab Peace Initiative contains positive elements that could help revive constructive negotiations with the Palestinians,” Netanyahu declared in the Knesset.“We are willing to negotiate with the Arab states revisions to that initiative so that it reflects the dramatic changes in our region since 2002, but maintains the agreed goal of two states for two peoples,” Netanyahu said, making his statement first in Hebrew and then repeating it in English.Raphael Ahren contributed to this report

Paris summit ends with vague call for international conference by year’s end-Participants warn time is running out on two-state solution, blame violence and settlement activity, but don’t set timeline for progress-By Times of Israel staff, Raphael Ahren and Agencies June 3, 2016, 4:03 pm

A one-day Israeli-Palestinian peace summit in Paris — to which the Israelis and Palestinians were not invited — concluded Friday with a warning that violence and settlement activity are imperiling a two-state solution, and a call for an international conference on the issue before the end of the year.“We must act, urgently, to preserve the two-state solution, revive it before it is too late,” French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said after the meeting.The closing communique did not set a firm timetable for further efforts, however. And while France portrayed Friday’s meeting as a first step by the international community to weigh different options, the Americans have been chilly towards the talks, although Secretary of State John Kerry attended, and Israel has flatly opposed to French efforts, calling instead on the Palestinians to enter direct peace talks without conditions.The closing communique was less harsh toward Israel than members of the Arab League had sought, and its general emphasis on the two-state solution represented a compromise in which the United States and the European Union tempered an effort by the Arab League to make a statement that was more critical of Israel’s policies, Western diplomats told Haaretz.“We have chosen to extend a hand to the Israelis and the Palestinians. We hope that they accept it,” Ayrault said. He warned that a solution which would see Israelis and Palestinians living side by side was “getting further away each day.”Israel quickly dismissed the gathering as a “missed opportunity,” claiming its participants had caved to Palestinian demands. The Palestinians, by contrast, welcomed what they called a “significant step” against Israel’s “apartheid policies in occupied Palestine.”In their closing communique, the more than two dozen participating nations reaffirmed that “a negotiated two-state solution is the only way to achieve an enduring peace, with two states, Israel and Palestine, living side by side in peace and security.” They expressed alarm that “actions on the ground, in particular continued acts of violence and ongoing settlement activity, are dangerously imperiling the prospects for a two-state solution.”Calling for an end to the “Israeli occupation that begin in 1967,” the participants said they had “discussed possible ways in which the international community could help advance the prospects for peace, including by providing meaningful incentives” and “highlighted the potential for regional peace and security as envisioned by the Arab Peace Initiative.”EU Foreign Policy chief Federica Mogherini stressed that the aim of the summit was not to impose terms, but rather to create conditions in which substantive negotiations could resume. “The policy of settlement expansion and demolitions, violence, and incitement tells us very clearly that the perspective that Oslo opened up is seriously at risk of fading away,” she told reporters.The closing communique also highlighted the key role of the Quartet and key regional stakeholders. “They welcomed the interested countries’ offer to contribute to this effort. They also welcomed France’s offer to coordinate it, and the prospect of convening before the end of the year an international conference.”The foreign ministers of the United States, European nations, and several Arab states were among those attending the meeting. No Israeli or Palestinian officials were invited.French President Francois Hollande kicked off the summit by calling on both sides to make the “courageous choice” to advance peace. “This initiative has only one goal, peace in Middle East. It was desirable and became necessary,” Hollande said at the opening session of the conference. “We can’t take the place of the parties,” he said, acknowledging the absence of both Israeli and Palestinian officials. “We can only make sure that peace will be solid, lasting and internationally safeguarded.”Ahead of the summit, an internal document sent by the French Foreign Ministry to participating nations had anticipated that “ministers will agree on the principle that a clear timetable will need to be established for the negotiations when they restart, and that some interim review might be necessary to gauge the seriousness of the process.”The head of Israel’s Foreign Ministry, Dore Gold, said Thursday that the French initiative was “doomed to failure.”Israel has been adamant in its utter rejection of the French initiative, arguing that only bilateral talks can lead to progress. Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he seeks a two-state solution, with a demilitarized Palestine that recognize Israel as the Jewish state.Netanyahu’s office on Friday doubled down on its criticism of the summit, asserting that it was bound to fail. “We need direct negotiations, and for that we don’t need to go as far as Paris,” an official from the Prime Minister’s Office told Army Radio just a few hours before the conference kicked off.Israel’s Internal Security Minister Gilad Erdan said what was happening in Paris was “surreal,” since it was entirely unrealistic to believe that anything said or done there could change things for the better on the ground. The only way to solve the conflict was via direct talks, but Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas “has been boycotting Israel for the past seven years,” said Erdan, and has decided to spend “the remainder of his days trying to damage Israel internationally.”“The way to peace does not go through international conferences that seek to impose agreements, make the Palestinians’ demands more extreme and thereby make peace more remote,” Netanyahu said Wednesday. “The way to peace is via direct negotiations without preconditions between the sides. This is how peace was achieved in the past with Egypt and Jordan and this is what needs to be with the Palestinians.”If the countries gathering in Paris really wanted to promote peace, they should urge Abbas to enter direct bilateral talks with Israel, Netanyahu added. “This is the way to peace — there is no other.”Kerry “looks forward to being a participant” in the conference, State Department spokesperson John Kirby had said Wednesday. America’s top diplomat is “not going to turn up his nose at any good ideas that could get us closer to seeing a two-state solution in place.Kerry remains keenly interested in the Middle East peace process and will “talk to anybody that might be able to come up with viable alternatives and solutions to get us there,” Kirby added. “Ultimately, though, it’s going to take leadership there on all sides to take the kinds of affirmative steps that are necessary to ease the tensions and to get us closer to a two-state solution. It has to start there.”

French FM warns of impending disaster if Israeli-Palestinian deadlock not broken-Day ahead of Paris peace summit, Jean-Marc Ayrault says there is genuine concern for Israel amid changing Mideast context-By AFP and Raphael Ahren June 3, 2016, 2:04 am-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault warned that if upcoming French efforts to jumpstart the Israeli-Palestinian peace process did not bear fruit, the region was “heading for disaster.”In an interview with the French paper Le Monde a day ahead of a Paris summit on restarting peace talks, Ayrault said that disagreements with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has repeatedly said that the only way forward was through direct negotiations, “can be overcome” and that at the moment no such negotiations exist anyway.“If we cannot break the current deadlock, we are heading for disaster. The context has changed: increased terrorism is having an impact, including in this part of the region. This is a danger for Israel. France is a friend of Israel’s and there is currently genuine concern over its security and its future,” Ayrault said.Asked what the French had to offer after a US-brokered attempt for talks failed in 2014, Ayrault said that “a new environment must be created on an international scale to tell the two parties: we are not going to negotiate on your behalf, as that is your responsibility as Israelis and Palestinians, but we do want to help you.”“The last international conference on this issue was in Annapolis nine years ago. Our ambition is thus to once again mobilize the international community,” he said.While the Palestinians have welcomed the Paris effort, Israel has rejected it.Earlier Thursday, the director-general of Israel’s Foreign Ministry said that France’s bid to revive Israel-Palestinian peace talks was doomed, and compared it to a 1916 colonial effort to carve up the Middle East.“This effort utterly failed then and will completely fail today,” Dore Gold told journalists in Jerusalem, referring to the Sykes-Picot agreement to draw up the region’s borders.“The only way to get a stable regional arrangement that will allow us to create real peace in the Middle East is if the parties of the region come to understandings between them,” Gold said.“We believe the Arab states would give backing to direct negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians,” he added. “Therefore we prefer a Middle Eastern process and not a process that somebody is trying to create in Paris.”British diplomat Mark Sykes and Francois Georges-Picot of France drew the borders of a new Middle East in May 1916 after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire.“It was at the apex of the era of colonialism in our area,” Gold said. “Their effort failed as we see today in the deserts of Iraq and Syria.”Neither Israel nor the Palestinians will be represented in Paris at Friday’s talks, which aim to lay the ground for a fully-fledged peace conference to be held by the end of the year.

France urges Israel, Palestinians to make ‘courageous’ step toward peace-At Paris summit, Hollande says world community ‘can’t take place of parties,’ but wants to help build ‘solid, lasting, safeguarded’ peace-By Times of Israel staff, AP and AFP June 3, 2016, 11:16 am

French President Francois Hollande kicked off Friday’s Israel-Palestinian peace summit in Paris by calling on both sides to make the “courageous choice” to advance peace.“This initiative has only one goal, peace in Middle East. It was desirable and became necessary,” Hollande said at the opening session of the conference, speaking shortly before foreign ministers from around the world were meeting behind closed doors.Hollande said a solution had to involve the “whole region,” but in the end it was up to the Israelis and Palestinians.“We can’t take the place of the parties,” he said, acknowledging the absence of both Israeli and Palestinian officials at the conference. “We can only make sure that peace will be solid, lasting and internationally safeguarded.”Neither Israel nor the Palestinians are represented at Friday’s talks, which aim to lay the ground for a fully fledged peace conference to be held by the end of the year.Hollande warned that the status quo threatened to fan the flames of terrorism. “Violence is growing and hope is fading — that’s why we want to try and revive the peace process. We must work to realize that in the regional context and diplomatic vacuum will be filled by extremism and terror,” Haaretz quoted him saying.“Considerable progress has been made, but there is still no peace,” Hollande said. “France doesn’t seek anything for itself. Its sole purpose is to foster peace.”The conference, which has been embraced by the Palestinian Authority but fiercely rejected by the Israeli government, aims to formulate a “framework” for the resumption of Israeli-Palestinian peace talks and to discuss ways in which the international community can provide incentives for the two sides to reach an agreement.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office on Friday doubled down on its criticism of the summit, asserting that it was bound to fail.“We need direct negotiations, and for that we don’t need to go as far as Paris,” an official from the Prime Minister’s Office told Army Radio just a few hours before the conference kicked off in the French capital.Direct negotiation “doesn’t work,” French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault countered ahead of the conference.Israel’s Internal Security Minister Gilad Erdan said what was happening in Paris was “surreal,” since it was entirely unrealistic to believe that anything said or done there could change things for the better on the ground. The only way to solve the conflict was via direct talks, but Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas “has been boycotting Israel for the past seven years,” said Erdan, and has decided to spend “the remainder of his days trying to damage Israel internationally.”France persuaded US Secretary of State John Kerry, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and foreign ministers and officials from close to 30 other countries and international organizations to join Friday’s meeting.The head of Israel’s Foreign Ministry, Dore Gold, said Thursday that the French initiative was “doomed to failure.” Palestinian Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah welcomed it.The half-day conference was expected to end with a universal vote of confidence in the two-state solution, and an urgent appeal to establish a “clear timetable” for the resumption of peace talks.Hollande said in a statement Thursday that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict faces a “dangerous deadlock.” The meeting will allow participants to “reaffirm their commitment to the two-state solution and their determination to create the conditions for resumption of direct talks,” he said.Netanyahu, on the other hand, prefers a regional summit with Arab states, who have more sway with the Palestinians than France, PMO sources told Army Radio.A day before the meeting, Ayrault warned that if upcoming French efforts to jump-start the Israeli-Palestinian peace process did not bear fruit, the region was “heading for disaster.”Ayrault envisioned two outcomes for Friday’s conference.First, the prospect of another peace conference that would include the Israelis and the Palestinians by the end of the year, he told Le Monde newspaper Thursday. Second, the creation of working groups to prepare for potential direct talks. One would focus on economic incentives, another on security guarantees that could help convince the two parties to come back to the negotiation table.The core issues of the conflict will not be discussed during Friday’s conference.France hopes to start a “pragmatic” process in hopes of make progress “step by step,” a French diplomat said, praising a “modest approach.”Another French diplomat added: “We know the path is difficult, the goal will be hard to reach. But we considered it’s worth trying.”The most recent round of talks broke down two years ago. The Palestinians, along with much of the international community, have accused Netanyahu of undermining peace talks by continued settlement construction in the West Bank and East Jerusalem — territories where they hope to establish an independent state. Netanyahu has said he will open talks with Abbas without preconditions at any time, and that he seeks a two-state solution under which a demilitarized Palestinian state recognizes Israel as a Jewish state.

Diplomats hold Paris peace summit, but Israel dismissive-As Friday meeting starts, Prime Minister’s Office reiterates need for direct negotiations with Palestinians to end conflict-By AP, AFP and Times of Israel staff June 3, 2016, 8:25 am

US, European and Arab diplomats were meeting in Paris on Friday for a French-led effort to revive the Mideast peace process, despite Israel’s dismissal of the proceedings.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office on Friday doubled down on its criticism of the summit, asserting that it was bound to fail.“We need direct negotiations, and for that we don’t need to go as far as Paris,” an official from the Prime Minister’s Office told Army Radio just a few hours before the conference kicked off in the French capital.Direct negotiation “doesn’t work,” French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault insisted ahead of the conference.“Currently everything is blocked. We don’t want to act in the place of the Israelis and Palestinians, but we want to help them,” he told France Info radio.France persuaded US Secretary of State John Kerry, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and foreign ministers and officials from close to 30 other countries and international organizations to join Friday’s meeting to try to prevent an escalation of Mideast violence.Israel and the Palestinians are not taking part, but the French hope this meeting could lead to eventual direct talks.The conference, which has been embraced by the Palestinian Authority but fiercely rejected by the Israeli government, aims to formulate a “framework” for the resumption of Israeli-Palestinian peace talks and discuss ways in which the international community can provide incentives for the two sides to reach an agreement.The head of Israel’s Foreign Ministry, Dore Gold, said Thursday that the French initiative was “doomed to failure.” Palestinian Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah welcomed it.The half-day conference is expected to end with a universal vote of confidence in the two-state solution, and an urgent appeal to establish a “clear timetable” for the resumption of peace talks.France’s President Francois Hollande, who was opening the conference, said in a statement Thursday that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict faces a “dangerous deadlock.” The meeting will allow participants to “reaffirm their commitment to the two-state solution and their determination to create the conditions for resumption of direct talks,” he said.Netanyahu, on the other hand, prefers a regional summit with Arab states, who have more sway with the Palestinians than France, PMO sources told Army Radio.A day before the meeting, Ayrault warned that if upcoming French efforts to jump-start the Israeli-Palestinian peace process did not bear fruit, the region was “heading for disaster.”France’s Ayrault envisioned two outcomes for Friday’s conference.First, the prospect of another peace conference that would include the Israelis and the Palestinians by the end of the year, he told Le Monde newspaper Thursday.

Khamenei: US, Britain, Israel still Iran’s ‘main enemies’-Trusting the United States is ‘a big mistake,’ says supreme leader, discussing nuclear deal on anniversary of Khomenei’s death-By AFP June 3, 2016, 1:48 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei lashed out Friday at the United States, Britain and Israel as the Islamic republic’s “main enemies,” accusing Washington of procrastinating over Tehran’s landmark nuclear deal.“It’s the US, the evil Britain, and the damned and cancerous Zionist regime. These are the main enemies,” Khamenei said in a televised speech marking the 27th anniversary of the death of his revolutionary predecessor Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.The supreme leader mentioned the nuclear deal with world powers that came into force in January, and accused Washington of breaking its promises.“We sat down and negotiated with the P5+1 group and even separately with the Americans over the nuclear issue,” he said during a televised speech to thousands gathered at Khomeini’s extravagant mausoleum in southern Tehran. “The other side, the Americans, made some commitments. The Islamic republic completed its commitments but the other unfaithful side is procrastinating.”“Whoever trusts in the United States is committing a big mistake and will be hit with a slap” by them, he added.After the nuclear deal entered into force in mid-January, some international sanctions on Iran were lifted by the United Nations, the US and the European Union.But the US and EU have kept sanctions related to Iran’s missile program, its human rights situation and support for groups like the Lebanese Hezbollah, which Washington categorizes as a “terrorist” organization.Khamenei said it was “impossible” that Iran would enter into negotiations with the US over such issues.“First they enter with a smile and (soft) language but later in practice they will not do what they should do and will not keep their commitment,” he said.Iran particularly accuses President Barack Obama’s administration of not taking the required steps to reassure big international banks who are reluctant to do business with Iran for fear of punitive measures.More than a decade of nuclear-related sanctions hampered Tehran’s economy.President Hassan Rouhani told Tehran’s newly elected parliament last week that Iran needed $30-50 billion (27-45 billion euros) each year in foreign investment in order for it to hit its 8 percent growth target.Khamenei went on to emphasize the importance of a domestic “resistance economy,” rather than reliance on foreign investment.“To think that the economic boom of the country can be merely reached through foreign investment is a mistake,” he said.“More important than foreign investment is activating domestic potential. We have great deal of potential still not activated.”The supreme leader also said that Iran re-joining the global economy would represent a “loss and defeat” and accused Iran’s “enemies” of seeking to undermine Iran’s finances.

200,000 crowd Tel Aviv streets for annual pride parade-Hundreds of police on site, security tightened around openly gay Likud MK at festivities who received threats-By Melanie Lidman and Times of Israel staff June 3, 2016, 1:00 pm

Under arches of rainbow balloons and flags, more than 200,000 people thronged through the streets of Tel Aviv Friday for the annual Gay Pride Parade.Hundreds of police officers and volunteers were dispatched to help secure the march. Cars were banned from parking along the route of the parade, and traffic was redirected.Knesset security also beefed up protection for Likud MK Amir Ohana, an openly gay member of Israel’s parliament, following threats to harm him during the event.Sources close to Ohana blamed the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Queer (LGBTQ) community, telling Army Radio that it was unfortunate that such an open and accepting community would do to “the only gay MK in the coalition just because he’s right wing.”Fellow Likud politician Culture and Sport Minister Miri Regev told participants she “loves” the gay community and was happy to see so many participating in the event. She said the government “needs to do more for you because you deserve it like everyone else.”“Everyone should be able to live as they want to live,” said 80-year-old Miriam Yitzhaki, a veteran resident of Tel Aviv who sat watching the colorful parade march down Bograshav Street, including a man wearing nothing but a speedo gyrating on top of an electricity box. “It started out as just a thing for the gays, but now you can see so many groups, including political groups like Meretz and Peace Now, that’s nice to see people getting involved.”Meretz party chairwoman Zehava Galon called on the government to take greater action for the LGBTQ community, criticizing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for “pinkwashing” Israel’s policies.“This government needs to provide the gay community with what it deserves — equal rights under the law, funding and recognition,” Galon said.According to a Channel 2 report on Thursday, police warned right-wing extremists not to come near the Tel Aviv celebration.On Wednesday police requested restraining orders to keep a group of right-wing extremists away from the event, but judges rejected the move, saying there was not enough evidence to support it.Last year during the Jerusalem pride parade radical ultra-Orthodox Jew Yishai Schlissel stabbed several participants, killing 16-year-old Shira Banki and injuring several others. Friday’s parade included a minute’s silence in Banki’s memory.More than 180,000 people, including 30,000 tourists, were expected at the annual event, according to the Foreign Ministry, a number surpassed by midday estimates. Among the participants were male and female reservists from the Israeli army’s artillery regiment, marching in support of battalion colleagues from LGBT community, Ynet reported.The theme of this year’s parade is “Women for a Change.” Last year the theme honored transgender people.“It’s really nice that they decided to make it about women, because sometimes gay pride events can be really male dominated,” said Miriam Fine, a 25-year-old lawyer from London who came with a group of five friends especially for the week’s events.“It’s the most fun in the world to come to this, and to see this in the Middle East is really cool,” she said. This is the first time the group came to Israel during Gay Pride week.Eighteen-year-old Lien Ben Haim came with a group of friends from a high school in Bat Yam. “My friends are gay, so we said, why not? We’re here to support them,” she said.With the bass line thumping from Europop and “Ya Habibi Tel Aviv,” marchers danced down the streets as neighbors threw buckets of water from their balconies. The march started at the Gan Meir Park and ends with a party at Charles Clore Park in South Tel Aviv, after moseying down the Tayelet with dozens of sponsored floats.A number of organizations in the LGBTQ community joined the march, including Hoshen, which brings LGBT adults to Israeli high schools to talk about their life stories. Other marching organizations included gay sports teams, Beit Meir, the gay community center in Tel Aviv, and political parties Meretz, Labor and Likud.Rotem Nimkovsky, 40, has been marching as a member of the Likud Pride group since they founded in 2011. “When I went to political conventions and came out of the closet to tell people that I am gay, they right away sent me to Meretz,” said Nimkovsky. “I said, no, I don’t identify with Meretz. I’ve been right-wing my whole life.”“There is no connection between political opinions and sexual orientation,” Nimkovsky continued. “We are everywhere, and it doesn’t matter your political opinion, LGBT rights are for everyone.”
