Israeli military: Armed Syrians approach border

By IAN DEITCH | Associated Press – 17 hrs ago OCT 4,12
JERUSALEM (AP) — Dozens of armed men gathered on the Syrian side of the cease-fire line in the Israel-controlled Golan Heights Wednesday, prompting authorities to close a tourist site as a precaution, the Israeli military said.An Israeli spokesman said it was unclear what the armed Syrians were doing. He said there was no violence or attempts to cross the border. He spoke on condition of anonymity under military rules.
Israeli forces there were on alert.The armed men were not wearing uniforms. It was not clear if they were soldiers from the Syrian army or rebel forces battling President Bashar Assad's regime.Israelis are concerned that fighting from Syria's civil war could spill across the border. Last month, several mortar shells exploded in Israeli-controlled territory. Nobody was hurt. Israel said the shells were misfired.Israeli officials have also expressed concern that the frontier region could turn into a lawless area like Egypt's Sinai desert, where Islamic militants have gained strength since the ouster last year of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.
Israel and Syria have been bitter enemies for decades, but there is concern in Israel that if the Assad regime is toppled, the country could fall into the hands of Islamic extremists or descend into sectarian warfare, destabilizing the region.An Israeli tour group visiting Mount Hermon, the Golan site closest to the border spot, left without incident, and the site was temporarily closed Wednesday as a precaution. "It happened far away from the site, but to be on the safe side, the tourists were told to go down from the mountain to the lower part of the resort," said Shaul Ohana, who manages the site.Last year in a demonstration, thousands of people stormed the border fence from Syria, and hundreds burst through. At least 15 infiltrators were killed that day in clashes on the Syrian and Lebanese borders.Israeli officials accused Damascus of promoting the clash to try to divert attention from the violence within Syria.Since then Israel has beefed up security in the area.Israel captured the Golan Heights from Syria in the 1967 Mideast war. It later annexed the strategic territory overlooking northern Israel in a move that is not recognized internationally.

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.(WW3 STARTS BECAUSE JERUSALEM IS DIVIDED AND ISRAELIS UPROOTED FROM THEIR GOD GIVIN LAND)

ZECHARIAH 14:12-13
12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.(1/2-3 BILLION DIE IN WW3)

PSALMS 137:5-6
5  If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.
6  If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.

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.

Bypassing Israel, French capital endorses unprecedented agreement with ‘East Jerusalem’

Israel’s Foreign Ministry says the agreement reflects a “make-believe world”

France’s most populous administrative zone, encompassing the capital Paris, has signed a cooperation agreement with the Palestinian district of Jerusalem, a move organizers say is designed to send a “political message” of solidarity with the Palestinians and their aspirations for a future capital in the city.The French region described the agreement as the “first of its kind.”The decision is a blow to Israel’s claim that the eastern sector is part of its united capital. A spokesman for Israel’s Foreign Ministry said east Jerusalem “does not exist” as a separate entity and that the French council was “living in a make-believe world.”
The Regional Council of Île-de-France voted September 28 in favor of a “decentralized cooperation agreement” with the Palestinian Authority (PA) district of Jerusalem, making it “the first French community to sign an agreement of cooperation with the Arab part of the holy city,” a statement on the council’s website read. The agreement is to be officially signed during the month of October.Israel extended its sovereignty to the entire city of Jerusalem following the Six-Day War of 1967, and does not recognize the PA’s Jerusalem district, which incorporates some 400,000 Palestinian residents in Jerusalem and its outskirts.Île-de-France has earmarked 300,000 euros for the cooperation agreement, which will support vocational training, entrepreneurship, culture, health and social action, as well as “institution building.”In Jerusalem, 78 percent of Palestinian inhabitants live below the poverty line, the statement continues, and the French projects will focus on “improving the living conditions of local populations.”The agreement was initiated in early 2011 by Green Party councilmen Jacques Picard and Michel Bock, who also serves as chairman of the international and European action committee in the  regional council of Île-de-France.
‘That Palestinian entity [the Jerusalem district]  does not exist,’ Hirschon told The Times of Israel. ‘[the French Region] seems intent on ignoring reality and living in a make believe world’
Picard told The Times of Israel that the idea of collaborating with a Palestinian district was first raised in 2004. It was only natural to twin Paris with the capital of the future Palestinian state, Jerusalem, he said.
“There is very high sensitivity to the Palestinian cause in France,” Picard said. “This symbolic move is certainly intended to send a political message. If such regional exchanges can contribute to peace, all the better.”Picard noted that the cooperation with Jerusalem was endorsed by French Minister for Cooperation Henri de Raincourt in a public speech delivered in Hebron in January 2012.Paul Hirschon, a spokesman for Israel’s Foreign Ministry, said the ministry was unaware of the agreement. But he added that such initiatives discouraged the Palestinians from returning to the negotiating table with Israel.
Île-de-France has designated 300,000 euros to the cooperation agreement, which will focus on vocational training, support of entrepreneurship, culture, health and social action, as well as institution building.
“That Palestinian entity [the Jerusalem district]  does not exist,” Hirschon told The Times of Israel. The French council, he said, “seems intent on ignoring reality and living in a make-believe world.” The Jerusalem municipality was also unaware of the agreement.Picard said that under French law his regional council was not obligated to coordinate with the Israeli government, or the French, on decentralized cooperation agreements. Thirteen such agreements already exist between Île-de-France and other regions — primarily state capitals — including Beirut (Lebanon), Yerevan (Armenia) and Hanoi (Vietnam).The Palestinian governor of the Jerusalem district, Adnan Husseini, was abroad at time of publication and was not available for comment.

Opinion: Jerusalem: Israel’s eternal capital
Jerusalem’s status as Israel’s capital is not up for debate
By Rachel Bandler

“Jerusalem is and will remain the capital of Israel. The parties have agreed that Jerusalem is a matter for final status negotiations. It should remain an undivided city accessible to people of all faiths.” This statement, taken from the 2008 Democratic Party platform, was removed from the Democrats’ 2012 platform last week, only to be reinstated by President Barack Obama after an onslaught of opposition. Fortunately, Obama made the right decision in reaffirming Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.Jewish national identity was formed over 3,000 years ago in the land of Israel, with King David making Jerusalem the capital of the Israelite Kingdom in 1000 B.C.E. and his son, King Solomon, building the First Jewish Temple in Jerusalem 40 years later. Throughout history, Jews have regarded Jerusalem as the capital of their ancient ancestral homeland, facing Jerusalem during prayer in a similar fashion to Muslims who pray towards the Kaaba in Mecca. While the number of Jews in Israel has fluctuated across the centuries (the Jewish community significantly declined from massacres by Crusaders in the 12th century, for example), Jews have maintained a continuous presence in the land of Israel.Therefore, as the only sovereign Jewish state, Israel has a right to declare Jerusalem as her capital. America’s denial of that right only isolates a valuable ally in the Middle East, and increases political tension in already troubled times considering Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Furthermore, it is not the Democrats’ role to dictate the capital city of an ally — after all, Americans would never grant Britain or France the right to determine whether Washington, D.C. is the capital of the United States. Every autonomous, self-governing state has the right to decide their own capital city within their borders and control. Therefore, the political status of Jerusalem, although one of the most contentious issues in any future peace agreement between the Israelis and Palestinians, can only be determined by Israel; it cannot be imposed by foreign nations or international bodies.Furthermore, the clause that Obama reinstated into the 2012 Democratic platform not only called for Jerusalem to remain as the eternal capital of Israel, but also recognized the importance of Jerusalem continuing to remain open and accessible to all of the world’s faiths. This distinction is important because historically, access to holy cities for pilgrimages and worship has been limited. For example, from 313–637 C.E., Jews were prohibited from entering Jerusalem, and even today access to Mecca and Medina is strictly prohibited to non-Muslims. With Jerusalem under Israeli control, all religions will have access to their holy sites in the city.It is also important, however, that Jerusalem not become a partisan issue in the upcoming presidential election because this will detract attention from more serious foreign policy issues like Iran’s nuclear program. Instead, American politicians should be concerting their efforts to prevent Iran from developing nuclear capabilities, which would have dire consequences for the United States, Israel, and the entire Western world. Unfortunately, Jerusalem has already begun to turn into a partisan issue, with Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney asserting that Obama has “thrown Israel under the bus” for not standing by Israel and unequivocally declaring Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. By officially declaring that “Jerusalem is and will remain the capital of Israel” in the Democrats’ 2012 platform, Obama has hopefully side-stepped a potentially very dangerous and distracting partisan debate on the heels of the upcoming election.
