PA'S SEPTEMBER A PROBLEM FOR UN

JERUSALEM DIVIDED

ZECHARIAH 12:1-5 King James Bible
1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.

JOEL 3:2
2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.

ZECHARIAH 14:1-9 King James Bible
1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. 5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.

16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.

September a Problem – for UN-The UN, not Israel, should be worried about the consequences of the PA’s upcoming statehood bid, says Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin.By Maayana Miskin First Publish: 9/18/2011, 2:35 PM

This September is likely to be a black September – but only for the United Nations General Assembly and the relationship between Israel and the Palestinians, says a speech prepared by Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin.The PA seems to believe that the UN will serve as an Israel bypass route allowing it to achieve statehood without making concessions, Rivlin says. This approach is fundamentally delusional, he adds.Rivlin is to speak Monday at the grand opening of a new cultural center in Kiryat Arba.
Similar statements were made Sunday by Yaakov Amidror, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s advisor on national security. The PA’s bid for recognition will put it in an untenable position, he declared.Only negotiations will bring positive results for either side, said Amidror, adding that Israel has been calling to resume negotiations for some time.

PA Threatens US Over Security Council Veto-Officials in Ramallah warned the US its promised Security Council veto of the PA statehood bid will destroy the two-state solution.By Gavriel Queenann First Publish: 9/17/2011, 7:51 PM

Palestinian Authority officials on Saturday threatened the United States saying vetoing its statehood bid in the United Nations Security Council next week would destroy the so-called two-state solution.The warning came hours after PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas announced in a speech in Ramallah that he would ask the UN Security Council to accept membership of a PA state despite a firm US warning the move would fail.Chief PLO negotiator Saeb Erekat warned a US veto would not only destroy the two-state solution, but could lead to the dismantling of the PA.Anyone who supports the two-state solution should back the Palestinian effort [at the UN],he said.

Erekat hinted that if the PLO dismantles the PA, it would subsequently insisting on the right of return for millions of Palestinian refugees to Israel.Abbas said that his extensive and sincere efforts to reach an agreement that would end occupation and lead to an independent Palestinian state through negotiations have hit a dead end, blaming Israeli intransigence.We seek to gain membership in the UN on the basis of the 1967 borders so that we could afterward return to the negotiations on a clear and internationally recognized reference.Abbas said that the statehood bid was only part of the Palestinian strategy that is designed to put the Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital back on the geography map.He also cautioned Arabs in PA enclaves against resorting to violence, stressing that support for the statehood bid should be peaceful. Otherwise, he said, this could harm us and sabotage our efforts.
Abbas made it clear that the statehood bid would not affect the status of the PLO as the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinians. saying that the PLO would continue to exist and function not only until a solution is reached, but until it's implemented.But according to reports in the Arabic-language press, PA rhetoric has not only left US officials unmoved, but damaged PA-US ties so deeply it could lead to the cessation of US funding for Ramallah.According to the London based Arabic daily Al Hayat the statement was made not only from officials close to Israel, such as White House adviser Dennis Ross, but also others such as [Special Assistant to US President Barack Obama] Samantha Powers.The United States, along with Israel and the Palestinian Authority, are signatories to the 1993 Oslo Accords, which proscribes unilateral moves by either party.US officials firmly opposed the PA statehood bid, noting it is contrary to the Oslo framework, and called on officials in Ramallah to return to the negotiating table.What we are focused on is ... getting them back to the table so that they can address the many final status issues and reach a comprehensive peace agreement that results in two states living side by side,State Department spokesman Mark Toner said.US lawmakers in Congress, over State Department objections, have overwhelmingly called on the Obama administration to cut funding to the PA should it present its bid to the world body.

U.S. in Anti-Statehood Diplomatic Campaign-The United States is working to get a UN Security Council majority against a PA statehood bid, in order to avoid using its veto.By Maayana Miskin First Publish: 9/18/2011, 9:18 AM

The United States has begun a diplomatic campaign to get a majority in the United Nations Security Council against the Palestinian Authority’s bid for unilateral statehood. The U.S. is hoping that, with support from others on the council, it can avoid using its veto.American officials have declared that they will veto the PA move if necessary, leaving PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas without official UN approval for his plan for an Arab state on the entire territory of Judea, Samaria and Gaza.
Other countries on the Security Council are China, Germany, France, Russia, Britain, Brazil, Lebanon, India, Colombia, Gabon, Nigeria, Portugal, South Africa, and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Some, such as Russia and Lebanon, have already pledged their support to the PA.Meanwhile, Israeli leaders are continuing their own diplomatic efforts to counter the unilateral move, which they believe will undermine chances for peace by ending negotiations. A unilateral decision at the United Nations will prevent, in the future, the necessary concessions on their side necessary for peace, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu recently warned.Netanyahu is to speak at the UN prior to the vote. He has tried to keep expectations realistic, saying last week, I will speak the truth to whoever is interested in hearing it.Both Defense Minister Ehud Barak and Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman will take part in a series of diplomatic meetings prior to the vote. Barak is to leave Sunday for a round of meetings in the United States, while Lieberman will begin in Canada, later joining Netanyahu in New York for the UN vote.

Netanyahu to Meet with Obama-Prime Minister Netanyahu told the Cabinet Sunday he will meet with President Obama this week, and added that the PA will fail in the UN. By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu First Publish: 9/18/2011, 1:38 PM

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu told the Cabinet Sunday he will meet with President Barack Obama this week and added that the Palestinian Authority will fail to win full recognition from the United Nations.He said the meeting with the president will take place after he addresses the United Nations General Assembly.
Obama's promise to veto any United Nations Security Council motion to recommend full membership status of the Palestinian Authority has reearned him some lost Jewish support, according to recent polls.A high-profile meeting with the Prime Minister, in an atmosphere different from previous tense meetings, might help President Obama bounce back a bit from record-breaking lows in popularity, although the economic situation in the United States is voters' main worry.The UN is not a place where Israel wins praise, but I think that it is important that I go there in order to represent both the State of Israel and the truth – and the truth is that Israel wants peace and the truth is that the Palestinians are doing everything to torpedo direct peace negotiations, the Prime Minister said.He cast on Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas all of the blame for the failure to engage in direct talks with Israel for two years.They have ignored every proposal that I have made, both in my [2009] Bar-Ilan speech and in my speech to the US Congress last May, Prime Minister Netanyahu asserted.

They have avoided coming to direct negotiations after this government made an unprecedented decision to freeze new construction in the communities. For 10 months, they simply were unwilling to come and negotiate. They need to understand that, despite their current attempt to again overturn the negotiations by going to the UN, peace will be achieved only through direct negotiations.Their attempt to be accepted as a member of the UN will fail. The Palestinians' attempt to be accepted as a member of the UN is what they declared – one year ago – as their objective; this is what Abu Mazen [Abbas] recently declared as a goal. This attempt will fail. It will fail because it must go through the UN Security Council….Concerning a non-binding resolution, he pointed out, The UN also has the General Assembly in which almost any decision can be passed. It is possible to decide there that the sun rises in the west and sets in the east, and this would pass there. But it has neither the same weight nor the same importance. This is not the Palestinians' avowed goal. Even there it is possible that there will be various actions in their regard. We are coordinating our efforts with those of the US and with other important countries, in Europe and beyond.He said he will address the General Assembly and present our truth…– the fact that we are not foreigners in this country [and] that we have rights in this country that go [back] only 4,000 years….In my opinion, after the dust settles and after everything that is happening at the UN, in the end, the Palestinians will regain their composure, I hope, and will shelve these moves that are designed to bypass negotiations. They will return to the table in order to achieve peace and security both for us and our neighbors.

Video: Abbas Says Be Sensible – not a Jewish State Abbas unmasks what he really thinks about Israel in a speech in Ramallah: Present to us something sensible – not the Jewish State.By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu First Publish: 9/18/2011, 2:47 PM

Present to us something sensible. Don’t present to us the Jewish State,Palestinian Authority PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas said in a recent speech in Ramallah.Unmasking what he really thinks about Israel, he told an appreciative audience that the Quartet cannot force upon us the character of the State [of Israel].The Quartet is comprised of the United States, the United Nations, Russia and the European Union.
Abbas also said, When you say that there are settlement blocs as an existing fact or that the refugees problem will be solved within the Palestinian state – this is what they presented [and] we will never accept these sayings.Abbas’s statements imply that it is the Palestinian Authority that should define the character of Israel.
Recognizing Israel as Jewish would undermine the Saudi Arabia 2002 Initiative, which he has adopted. The initiative calls for Israel to accept as citizens approximately five million Arabs living in foreign countries who claim Israel as their home.

Jerusalem Prepares for Riots-Police in Israel’s capital prepare for possible riots. Changes may be made to school schedules, light rail train. By Maayana Miskin First Publish: 9/18/2011, 1:22 PM

Police in Jerusalem are preparing for the possibility of disturbances as the Palestinian Authority goes to the UN this week to ask for recognition as a state. A number of potential responses have been weighed, including changes to the school schedule and the light rail train route.IDF Radio reported Sunday that schools in the eastern part of the city may close temporarily, if terrorists threaten principals.In addition, the light rail train may alter its route to avoid the neighborhood of Shuafat. The majority-Arab neighborhood has been the site of several attacks targeting Jews, and there is concern that rioters may attempt to disrupt the train.The train is designed to be resistant to rock attacks and firebombings.The city is also prepared for the possibility that many of its thousands of Arab employees may not show up for work on the day of the statehood bid – or may even join riots.

Former Jerusalem police commander Mickey Levy downplayed fears of riots originating in the capital itself. There may be some disturbances in villages outside Jerusalem, but that is no cause for concern, he told IDF radio.The concern is the possibility of marches beginning in Judea and Samaria, or in villages near the capital, that head toward Jerusalem, he said. There is no doubt that there will be disturbances, but they will not begin in Jerusalem… The momentum will come from outside, he predicted.

Int’l Rallies: 800 Pro-Israel Christians vs.150 Pro-Arabs-Worldwide pro and anti-Israel rallies outside the Arab world feature 800 pro-Israel Christians in London and 150 pro-Arab in New York.By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu First Publish: 9/18/2011, 1:12 PM

Worldwide pro and anti-Israel rallies outside the Arab world the past few days revealed lopsided support for Israel, with 800 pro-Israel Christians rallying in London and 150 pro-Arabs, including 20 anti-Zionist Jews, in New York.Mainstream headlines spreading fear of huge protests, and even a Third Intifada in Israel, have failed to ignite the Arab street, where most demonstrations have been limited to numbers ranging from a few dozen to 200.Outside of Israel, enthusiasm for the Palestinian Authority also has been limited to college campuses and anti-Israel advertising on buses and subway trains.A pro-Arab rally in New York City’s Times Square attracted a grand total of 150 people on Thursday, including 20 Netura Karta anti-Zionists.On the other hand, 800 Christians from Scotland, Wales and England turned out last Tuesday for a pro-Israel demonstration across the street from the Parliament.One Member of Parliament came over to the group and said that King George the Fifth was a Zionist, according to rally spokesman Tim Gutmann. Visiting Israelis came to us and said they had come to see Big Ben and could not believe their eyes when they saw the rally, Gutmann added.One man said he was hesitant to wear his kippa in London, but now felt that he could wear it with pride, he continued.It was amazing to stand with and for Israel with 800 other Christians. I believe that a huge voice of love and support for Israel is now boldly rising from the United Kingdom church, and with all our hearts we want Israel and the Jewish people to know at this crucial time - You are not alone and we will not be silent.

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, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; 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, 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.

Op-Ed: Blaming Israel Won't Help
Published: Sunday, September 18, 2011 7:03 AM

Were Israel to be attacked she would be on her own—and she would blamed for daring to defend herself. But something is very wrong in the Muslim world that is bigger than Israel.Prof. Phyllis Chesler

On September 16, 2011, the New York Times actually used the word Islamist in a front page story—not as often or as prominently as the word militant but still, there it was—and in an article titled At White House, Weighing Limits of Terror Fight.For all those who are invested in the Lie that the infidels (i.e. Western civilization} are not under attack, allow me to point out that the anti-Israel and anti-American Paper of Record had, altogether, three articles on the front page about Afghanistan, Bahrain, and about Islamist militants in Yemen and Somalia as well as about Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, based in Yemen, and the Somalia-based Shabab;Al Qaeda operating in Afghanistan…and in the tribal regions of Pakistan.In this same issue, the Times also has articles which focus on or mention Jordan, Palestine, Turkey, Afghanistan, Libya, Bahrain, Lebanon, Yemen, Somalia, Pakistan, and the Arabian Peninsula.Even the Times knows that something is up, something has gone wrong, very wrong in terms of the Muslim world, that it is far bigger than Israel, and that it won’t get better merely by blaming Israel or America.

In my opinion, were Israel to be attacked she would be on her own—and she would blamed for daring to defend herself. This has already happened many times. While the war against the Jews is very hot, it is almost invisible in the western media.As we know, (but allow me to remind us), in August of 2011, Israel endured 178 Hamas/Palestinian terror attacks which included 145 rockets and 46 heavy mortar shells fired into the south of Israel.That same month, Israel also endured a heavy surge of hostile, apparently civilian Arabs crossing Israel’s borders from Syria and attempting to do so from Lebanon, which included the Lebanese Army opening fire on a group of Israeli soldiers.Also in August, terrorists (Hamas? Al Qaeda? PLO?) crossed into Israel from Egypt, wearing Egyptian military uniforms, and killed seven Israeli civilians, including young children; they wounded at least thirty Israelis. The attacks against Israel in August alone were three times greater than all the attacks against Israel this year.During this same time, the Turkish Prime Minister demanded that Israel apologize for defending herself from a Turkish-launched terrorist attack (the Marvi Marmara incident) and threatened to send Turkish warships into the Mediterranean to accompany a new flotilla to break the Israeli siege of Gaza.And right around 9/11, Egyptian police forces allowed angry and hate-filled demonstrators to overrun the Israeli Embassy in Cairo; Prime Minister Netanyahu made no progress for the safe release of the Israeli security guards trapped in the building; only a phone call, eight to ten hours later, from President Obama presumably persuaded the Egyptians to help the besieged Israelis escape.

Finally, on September 13, 2011, the Turkish Prime Minister blew more smoke, this time in Cairo when he got the crowd to roar its hatred for Israel. He is in a dead heat competition with Iran for leadership of the Caliphate.During this time, no one really came to Israel’s aid on the ground or in the world’s media. During this time, the various world-wide demonstrations against Israel, calls for a Palestinian state at the UN, and calls for the boycotting of Israel continued unabated. (I have no way of knowing what went on behind the scenes in terms of help offered or refused).True, Israel may turn out to have some unexpected allies (Cyprus, the Kurds, India, Greece—maybe even Saudi Arabia) and yet, Israel is surrounded by surging human forces of hate as well and she is really, truly on her own.Yesterday, I spoke with Mayor Ron Nachman of the mainly secular city of Ariel in the Shomron (Samaria). He agreed with my assessment—an assessment shared by others-- that Israel is essentially on her own. Let me quote him at length.Israel can’t trust anyone, including America. American policy has been mistaken for six decades. America refused to move its Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. That tells us what we need to know.Now, the Arab Palestinians saw they could not get Israel to agree to commit suicide and so they turned to the United Nations. The solution is really between Israel and Jordan. Jordan is the real Palestinian state. And by the way, when Jordan annexed the West Bank and Samaria from 1948-1967, no journalist called it an occupation. It is only occupied when it is in Jewish hands.What is this phrase: The West Bank? The West Bank of the moon? The sun? The West Bank of America? We need to use the right language. Is California the West Bank of America? And by the way, would Americans agree to allow Mexicans and Canadians to carve out a corridor from San Diego to Vancouver so that both non-American groups can come and go without American oversight? This is what Israel is being asked to do.

And what is the meaning of the 67 lines?’ Do people really understand that Israel is only nine miles wide, just as wide as the distance from the south to the north of the borough of Manhattan? Giving up any more land means that Israel is non-defensible.Words and how they are used and misused continues to create problems.
The Wall.What is that? Think of it as a gated community. There are walls all over the world that are never singled out. Only Israel’s security fence is.The Arabs simply refuse to accept a Jewish state. A two state solution will not lead to peace. It will lead to more attacks on Israel. They gave Yasser Arafat a Nobel Peace Prize but he brought bloodshed, not peace. Everyone shouted Land for Peace. It only led to Arab attacks on Israel again and again.Mayor Nachman, said I, Nu, what is your solution to this intractable dilemma? Solution? At this rate, we need a five state solution. Jordan is one, Israel is the second, Judea and Samaria are a third, Gaza is a fourth—and the Israeli Arabs want autonomy as well.My friend and colleague Israeli Arabist, Dr. Mordechai Kedar, believes in a confederation of cantons, with local governmental autonomy on many issues and a federal government for security and other issues, based on Dr. Kedar’s understanding of tribal loyalties and conflicts and the Arab inability to create both large and stable modern nation states.I ask Mayor Nachman if he believes that Israel can defeat Iran. He says, cryptically:It is not good to push someone whose back is already against the wall.

Hamas, Islamic Jihad Unite against Abbas-PA unity is further away then ever as the Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorist groups unite to denounce Abbas for his unilateral moves.By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu First Publish: 9/18/2011, 8:43 AM

Palestinian Authority unity is further away then ever as the Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorist groups unite to denounce PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas for his unilateral moves.Statements by the two terrorist groups highlight the split in the Palestinian Authority and find Hamas and Islamic Jihad in rare agreement with Israel and the United States, although for contradictory reasons.After Abbas delivered a speech Friday explaining his bid to the United Nations for recognition, Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum ridiculed Abbas for unilateral moves that he said are part of a move to resume talks with Israel. Israel, the United States, and many other Western leaders have said the unilateral move, which violates the Oslo Accords, is designed to preclude any chance of direct discussions with Israel over the establishment of the Palestinian Authority as an independent country.Barhoum explained that recognition by the United Nations would lead to acknowledging the existence of Israel and would abandon the legitimate Palestinian Right of Return and self-determination.Islamic Jihad Spokesperson Daoud Shihab said that Abbas should spend his efforts on achieving unity with Hamas, which controls Gaza and leaves the Palestinian Authority a split entity.
