Settlers call on Likud ministers to end peace talks-Municipal leaders from West Bank communities say terrorism thrives on Israeli ‘diplomatic weakness’-By Stuart Winer April 17, 2014, 5:51 pm 0-The Times of Israel
The leaders of five settler municipal councils, who are all members of the Likud, appealed to their party’s cabinet ministers on Thursday to end negotiations with the Palestinians and instead invest in developing the Jewish presence in the West Bank.In a letter, the council chiefs pleaded with the ministers to rethink Israel’s diplomatic strategy.“For the past few years, we have seen how every dialogue with the PA demands a heavy price from the citizens of Israel and detracts from their security,” the letter said, and recalled a shooting attack Monday that claimed the life of one Israeli, Baruch Mizrahi, and injured his wife and son.“The connection is direct and obvious,” the municipal leaders continued. “Terrorism rears its head every time the state of Israel and the Israeli government show diplomatic weakness.“We, municipal leaders and Likud members, call on you to announce that murderers and terrorists will no longer be set free, and that there will be no dialogue with the PA, which has proved that it is an authority that supports, organizes, and educates to terror,” they wrote.The US-brokered peace talks deteriorated rapidly at the end of March after Israel nixed a planned release of Palestinian prisoners and PA President Mahmoud Abbas applied for Palestinian membership in 15 international treaties, despite a commitment to abstain from taking such a step.The settler leaders called on the government to engage in widespread construction throughout the West Bank.“The power of such a step is to plant in the hearts of our enemies the recognition that our presence in this land is eternal and that we will remain here, and we will settle it, at any price,” they wrote. “At this time, the people of Israel and the whole world need a clear, strong national Zionist statement — the Land of Israel for the people of Israel.”As for the possible backlash from the international community, the petitioners suggested stubborn defiance.“We will not flinch from the nations of the world and threats for the future, security, and resilience of the state of Israel,” they wrote.Israeli and Palestinian negotiators, together with US envoy Martin Indyk, were scheduled to meet on Thursday evening in an effort to revive peace talks.
Israelis, Palestinians to hold separate talks with US envoy-Indyk meets with Erekat in Jericho; Netanyahu reportedly refuses to free, deport Israeli Arab prisoners-By AFP and Times of Israel staff April 18, 2014, 2:19 pm 0
Israeli and Palestinian negotiators were to meet separately Friday with US peace envoy Martin Indyk, a Palestinian source said, a day after five hours of three-way talks failed to bring agreement.Indyk was due to hold talks with chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat in the West Bank city of Jericho from 08:00 GMT, the source said, but he had no details of the US-Israeli meeting and Israeli officials did not respond to requests for information.Thursday’s talks, in a Jerusalem hotel, were “very difficult,” the source said. “The gap… is still wide.”Officials in Jerusalem said Friday that no progress had been made in peace talks that took place between Israeli and Palestinian negotiators the night before, and that the two sides would meet again next week after the Passover holiday.State Department spokeswoman Jennifer Psaki said this week that Israeli and Palestinian negotiators are striving to reach an agreement to extend their peace talks beyond the April 29 deadline.But commentator Nahum Barnea, writing in the Yedioth Ahronoth daily on Friday, likened the almost nine months of talks, into which Secretary of State John Kerry coaxed the sides, to prolonged “mutual torture.“Kerry keeps them going like a gambler in a casino, who insists on putting his money on the roulette wheel, in the hope that the wheel will stop on his number at some point,” Barnea wrote.“He believed that he would reach a peace agreement; then he limited himself to a framework agreement; he later limited himself even further to an American proposal for a framework; and then just to ideas.“In the end, the entire prestige of the United States is invested in a marginal, questionable deal, which will only prolong the mutual torture.”Washington is pushing for an extension, but the negotiations hit an impasse two weeks ago when Israel refused to release a group of Palestinian prisoners as agreed at last year’s launch of the talks.Under the agreement, Israel had committed to freeing 104 prisoners held since before the 1993 Oslo autonomy accords in four batches, but it cancelled the release of the last group of 26.Among them are 14 Israeli Arabs who the Jewish state is refusing to set free.According to Israel Radio, the Palestinians are adamant in their demand that all 26 prisoners be released, but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has refused to concede on the issue of releasing the Israeli Arab terrorists. The head of the Shin Bet security service advised Netanyahu to release the 14 Israeli Arab prisoners in question and deport them to the Gaza Strip or abroad, the report said, but Netanyahu said he would not act in a way that may endanger Israeli citizens.The Palestinians retaliated by seeking accession to several international treaties.Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas told Israeli opposition MPs visiting him in the West Bank city of Ramallah on Wednesday that if talks were extended, he would want the first three months “devoted to a serious discussion of borders,” Haaretz newspaper reported.The Palestinians want a state based on the lines that existed before Israel occupied the West Bank and Gaza in the 1967 Six-Day War.
Abbas wants next stage of talks to focus on borders of ‘Palestine’-Israeli-Palestinian teams to meet Thursday with US envoy Indyk in latest bid to agree terms for extending negotiations-By Lazar Berman and Times of Israel staff April 17, 2014, 1:49 pm
Israeli and Palestinian negotiating teams were scheduled to meet Thursday, after the talks were pushed off from Wednesday. US special envoy Martin Indyk was on his way to Israel in order to meet with the parties.Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas told a visiting group of Knesset members in Ramallah on Wednesday that if a deal was struck to extend the talks, he would want the next three months of negotiations to focus on defining the borders of a Palestinian state, with detailed discussion over the specifics on maps, and that Israel should freeze all settlement building during that period.If, however, the negotiating deadlock continued, Abbas told the MKs, he would ask Israel to take over responsibility for the territories from the PA — simply to “take the keys,” they quoted him as saying.The MKs, led by Labor’s Hilik Bar, said Abbas was adamant that Israel had to free a fourth and final group of long-term Palestinian prisoners as a condition for the extension of peace talks, and that Israeli-Arabs be included in the group — as, he said, had been agreed at the start of the process. He noted that Israeli Arabs were released by Israel in previous prisoner exchanges, and thus rejected the notion that such releases were unprecedented. He also rejected a reported Shin Bet security agency demand that 10 of the men to go free be exiled from the West Bank to Gaza or overseas.Israel last month cancelled the fourth phase of prisoner releases because of its reluctance to free Israeli Arabs and because Abbas was not committing to extending the talks. Negotiations on a wider prisoner release deal, possibly to include the US freeing American-Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard, were then derailed when Abbas filed applications to join 15 international treaties and conventions — a move Israel called a “major breach” of Israeli-Palestinian understandings.State Department spokesman Marie Harf said that both sides wanted to reach an agreement to extend the talks beyond the April 29 deadline.A Palestinian official told AFP the Israeli-Palestinian negotiators’ meeting was pushed off from Wednesday in order to allow US envoy Indyk to arrive in the region and take part in the talks, but an Israeli official said the postponement was due to the West Bank shooting attack on Monday that killed a senior Israeli police officer and injured his wife and son.“The meeting that was planned for tonight between Israeli and Palestinian negotiating teams will not be taking place. It’s being postponed,” an Israeli official told AFP on condition of anonymity.Baruch Mizrahi, a father of five, was shot dead by Palestinian terrorists near the West Bank city of Hebron as he drove to celebrate the traditional Passover banquet with his family.The victim was killed when the family’s car was struck by several bullets. Mizrahi’s pregnant wife Hadas was injured in the attack. Mizrahi was laid to rest on Wednesday.An Israeli official said Monday’s terror attack “was the direct result of ongoing incitement and glorification of terrorism that we see in the official Palestinian media and education system.”Despite the attack, Abbas met as scheduled with the group of dovish Knesset members led by Bar, and told them he was willing to maintain security cooperation with Israel even if peace talks are not being held, Israeli media reported. He also condemned the killings of all civilians and reportedly said he was dismayed that Israel was not working with PA security forces to track down the Hebron gunman. However, he reportedly told the MKs he would only publicly condemn the killings once an investigation into the attack had been completed.The US has been taking steps to revive talks that began to deteriorate rapidly at the end of March after Israel nixed the planned release of Palestinian prisoners and Abbas applied for Palestinian membership to the 15 U and other international treaties and conventions, despite a commitment to not take such a step.New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman warned on Wednesday that if US Secretary of State John Kerry stepped back from the peace effort, both sides would be sorry. “The truth is Kerry’s mission is less an act of strategy and more an act of deep friendship. It is America trying to save Israel from trends that will inevitably undermine it as a Jewish and democratic state. But Kerry is the last of an old guard. Those in the Obama administration who think he is on a suicide mission reflect the new US attitude toward the region. And those in Israel who denounce him as a nuisance reflect the new Israel,” Friedman wrote. “Kerry, in my view, is doing the Lord’s work. But the weight of time and all the changes it has wrought on the ground may just be too heavy for such an act of friendship. If he folds his tent, though, Israelis and Palestinians will deeply regret it, and soon.”Last week, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu suspended contact between Israeli and Palestinian officials as part of punitive measures against the PA for the applications to international bodies. However, the ban did not include contact between Defense Ministry officials and their Palestinian counterparts, enabling joint security work in the West Bank to continue. Palestinian Authority Religious Affairs Minister Mahmoud al-Habash told a group of Israeli journalists in Ramallah on Wednesday that one of the conditions the Palestinians have laid down for continuation of the negotiations is that Israel present a map that shows the borders between a future Palestinian state and Israel. The issue of the map and the delineation of state lines are matters that keep coming up again and again between the two sides, Habash said.He added that the PA will not agree to be a ruling body without power and that the current situation will not continue beyond the end of the year. Habash warned that the price of failed peace talks is likely to be painfully heavy and hinted that the PA is likely to fall apart if talks fail.Times of Israel staff and AFP contributed to this report.

US calls anti-Semitic Ukraine leaflets ‘grotesque’-It remains unclear who produced fliers calling on Jews to register with authorities or face consequences-By Lazar Berman and AP April 18, 2014, 2:39 am 24-The Times of Israel
The United States on Thursday condemned as “grotesque” the distribution of leaflets demanding that Jews in eastern Ukraine register with a self-proclaimed local authority or face consequences. US officials also denounced other instances of religious intolerance that are inflaming tensions in the crisis in Ukraine and said no such behavior could be tolerated.Speaking in Geneva after top diplomats from the US, European Union, Russia and Ukraine reached agreement on steps to de-escalate the situation, Secretary of State John Kerry denounced the leaflets.“In the year 2014, after all of the miles traveled and all of the journey of history, this is not just intolerable; it’s grotesque,” Kerry told reporters. “It is beyond unacceptable. And any of the people who engage in these kinds of activities, from whatever party or whatever ideology or whatever place they crawl out of, there is no place for that.”Kerry also denounced apparent threats to members of the Russian Orthodox Church from members of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. He noted that the agreement signed on Thursday “strongly condemned and rejected all expressions of extremism, racism and religious intolerance, including anti-Semitism.”Also Thursday, the Simon Wiesenthal Center released a statement saying that Geoffrey Pyatt, the US ambassador in Kiev, told Mark Weitzman, SWC’s director of government affairs, that the fliers were “clearly part of a general effort to sow fear among Ukrainian Jews.”Pyatt added that he doesn’t know who was behind the literature.In Washington, US officials said the anti-Semitic leaflets, which recall the days of czarist pogroms and Nazi-era persecution of Jews, have appeared recently in the eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk. The State Department said it was looking into who is responsible but said it took the threat seriously, no matter who was behind the leaflets.The leaflets seen by US officials purport to come from the Donetsk People’s Republic, a self-styled, unrecognized breakaway authority that seeks to join Russia. The Donetsk Republic press office denied any involvement in the matter and says the leaflets are fake.
Filipino devotees re-enact crucifixion of Christ
By AARON FAVILA -APR 18,14-YahooNews
SAN PEDRO CUTUD, Philippines (AP) — Devotees in northern Philippine villages had themselves nailed to wooded crosses to re-enact the crucifixion of Jesus Christ as thousands of local and foreign spectators watched the bloody annual rites to mark Good Friday in Asia's largest Roman Catholic nation.Church leaders and health officials have spoken against the practice, which mixes Roman Catholic devotion with folk belief, but the annual rites continue to draw participants and huge crowds, particularly in northern Pampanga province.Sign painter Ruben Enaje, 53, had himself nailed to a cross at a dusty mound in Pampanga's San Pedro Cutud village for the 28th year. He began his yearly rite after surviving a fall from a building. Men dressed as Roman soldiers hammered stainless steel nails into his palms and feet, as a crowd of onlookers stood with cameras ready to capture his and other penitents' agony.Lasse Spang Olsen, a 48-year-old filmmaker from Denmark, also had himself nailed to a cross, joining Enaje and eight other Filipino devotees. He grimaced in pain as nails pierced his hands and feet.Olsen said he made a film two years ago about Enaje's yearly crucifixion and decided to have himself crucified after falling sick twice. He had a small camera attached to his cross while a colleague filmed his experience."It's a personal matter between me and (God)," he said, with his finger pointing up. After being helped down from the cross, he said of his experience: "Fantastic, you should try it."Archbishop Socrates Villegas, head of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines, discouraged the crucifixions."If what you do makes you love others more, then it is pleasing to God," he said. "But if you do it for photographs, just to be famous, that is spiritual vanity."The health department also discouraged the practice because of health risks. Health Undersecretary Eric Tayag urged devotees to get anti-tetanus shots.Devotees undergo the crucifixions in the belief that such extreme sacrifices are a way to atone for their sins, attain miracle cures for illnesses or give thanks to God.
04/17/2014 - THE VATICAN INSIDER-Pope washes the feet of twelve disabled women and men on Holy Thursday-Francis washes the feet of 12 disabled people-Francis washed the feet of 8 men and 4 women at a center for disabled people in Rome on Holy Thursday, as he led the celebration commemorating Jesus’ Last Supper-gerard o'connell
Rome-Pope Francis washed the feet of twelve variously disabled men and women, from different nationalities, ethnic groups and religions on Holy Thursday, at the Don Gnocchi center in Rome for people with permanent or temporary disabilities. He did so in commemoration of Jesus’ action in washing the feet of his twelve apostles at the Last Supper in Jerusalem before he was crucified.He arrived early in his blue Ford Focus, and greeted hundreds of people, young and old who had come to see him, before entering the chapel to celebrate the mass commemorating the Last Supper.Some two hundred people including the disabled patients and their relatives, as well as medical and support staff participated at the very prayerful mass, enlivened by music and hymns, at the “Santa Maria alla Providenza” center in the Casal del Marmo district of Rome, not far from the Juvenile Detention Centre where he went last year.After the reading of the Gospel account of the Last Supper, Pope Francis explained the significance of the washing of the feet, in a homily that lasted less than two minutes. He recalled that at the time of Jesus the feet of the guests, that were dirty from walking on the dirt roads, were washed by the slaves or servants of the house. Jesus however did this work of the slave or servant, he said; he washed the feet of his apostles to show them that they were to do likewise, and serve each other. That was “the testimony” that Jesus left us, he said. His followers are called to serve others, he said. “We should ask ourselves how we can better serve others”, he concluded.The Pope then knelt and washed the feet of each of the twelve disabled persons: 8 men and 4 women, aged between 16 and 86. One could see it was a big effort for the 77 year old Argentinean Pope, but he did so happily and when he had washed and dried each person’s foot, he looked up at the person with a loving smile, and on one occasion shook the person’s hand. The twelve were chosen from among the thousands of patients at the 30 Don Gnocchi Foundation healthcare and research centers scattered across Italy. The Foundation, founded by an Italian priest, Don Gnocchi, 60 years ago, embodies what Pope Francis has termed “moving out to the peripheries” in search and support of those people society has forgotten or discarded.Nine were Italian; the others came from Libya, Ethiopia, and Cape Verde. All suffer from physical, neurological and oncological illnesses.Fr Federico Lombardi, the Director of the Holy See Press Office, gave the following brief biographies of those whose feet Pope Francis had washed:Osvaldinho, 16, from Cape Verde, had a diving accident last summer and is now completely paralyzed.Orietta, 51, a woman from Rome who suffers from an illness that has affected her brain.Samuel, 66, has had polio from his youth.Marco, 19, high school student and leader of parish Youth Group was diagnosed with a cerebral palsy last year.Angelica, 86, from Maenza, former president of Catholic Action in Italy, had hip replacement surgery twice.Daria, 39, has suffered with cerebral palsy from her childhood. Pietro, 86, struggles with mobility and muscular deficiency.Gianluca, 36, he has had numerous operations from the age of 14 as a result of meningitis.Stefano, 49,suffers from serious cerebral and motor disorder. Hamed, 75, Muslim man originally from Libya, suffered a traffic accident which caused serious neurological impairment.Giordana, 27, from Ethiopia, she suffers from cerebral palsy and epilepsy.Walter, 59, suffers from Down's Syndrome.Each of these persons has received help and support from the Don Gnocchi Foundation to overcome the difficulties, marginalization and isolation they often face on account of their age or a disability.Before the Pope’s visit, Dr. Furio Grammatica, Chairperson of the Centre for Innovation and Technology Transfer (CITT) at the Don Gnocchi Foundation, told Vatican Radio that “one might think that most of them (the twelve) cannot fully catch the meaning of this visit, but this is definitively not true, even for the most critical cases”. He said that after joined the Foundation 10 years ago he had learned that “our guests have all developed a clear “sixth sense” on how much they are loved, and – in a definitively more straight way than us – they fully rely on people closer to them, who represent the fondness they feel. Pope Francis is not only a Pope, but an icon of the tenderness and strength at the same time, so they are really excited about meeting him.”In the past, Popes had led the Holy Thursday celebration and carried out the washing of the feet in St Peter’s Basilica, but Francis, following his practice as archbishop in Buenos Aires, prefers to do so in a situation on the periphery of human existence, as he did last year and again this year.
04/17/2014 - VATICAN INSIDER-Coptic priest joins Francis’ personal secretariat-Lahzi with Benedict XVI (Photo by: www.europe-israel.org)-After Mgr. Xuereb’s promotion to Secretary for the Economy, Francis has now chosen Secretary of State official Yoannis Lahzi Gaid to replace him-Andrea Tornielli
vatican city-Pope Francis has chosen a second personal secretary who will work alongside Argentinean priest Fr. Fabián Pedacchio, after Alfred Xuereb was promoted as the Vatican “finance ministry’s” number two man. The man chosen for the job is Coptic Catholic Yoannis Lahzi Gaid who is currently working in the first section of the Vatican Secretariat of State. Lahzi Gaid is also one of the “translators” who reads out the Gospel and summarises the Pope’s General Audience catecheses in Arabic.Francis’ new secretary has been living in the St. Martha’s House residence for a while now and knows Italy well: He was assistant parish priest of Latina (central Italy); in 2007 he edited a volume of texts from the Code of Canon Law for the Eastern Churches; he was the Vatican’s diplomatic representative in Congo and Gabon and was then made charge d’affaires of the Apostolic Nunciature of Jordan and Iraq before returning to the Vatican. He was previously also editor of the website of the Church in Alexandria, Egypt. In 2011, following the bloody attacks against the Coptic ortodox churches, he wrote, of his own initiative, an open letter to the Imam of Al Azhar University.For the moment, Lahzi Gaid will continue his daily duties in the Secretariat of State, alongside his new role, as Mgr. Pedacchio – who also works for the Congregation for Bishops – does. As is known, for Francis, the ideal personal secretary acts as an invisible figure. He never follows the Pope and almost never accompanies him in public but most importantly, he does not manage the Pope’s agenda for him, deciding who he does and doesn’t meet.The fact that the Bishop of Rome has chosen someone who belongs to a different religious rite – in this case the ancient Coptic rite - as one of his closest collaborators for the first time in modern history, is a fact of great significance and as sign of his support for the Eastern communities.

Israeli and Palestinian negotiators were to meet separately Friday with US peace envoy Martin Indyk, a Palestinian source said, a day after five hours of three-way talks failed to bring agreement.Indyk was due to hold talks with chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat in the West Bank city of Jericho from 08:00 GMT, the source said, but he had no details of the US-Israeli meeting and Israeli officials did not respond to requests for information.Thursday’s talks, in a Jerusalem hotel, were “very difficult,” the source said. “The gap… is still wide.”Officials in Jerusalem said Friday that no progress had been made in peace talks that took place between Israeli and Palestinian negotiators the night before, and that the two sides would meet again next week after the Passover holiday.State Department spokeswoman Jennifer Psaki said this week that Israeli and Palestinian negotiators are striving to reach an agreement to extend their peace talks beyond the April 29 deadline.But commentator Nahum Barnea, writing in the Yedioth Ahronoth daily on Friday, likened the almost nine months of talks, into which Secretary of State John Kerry coaxed the sides, to prolonged “mutual torture.“Kerry keeps them going like a gambler in a casino, who insists on putting his money on the roulette wheel, in the hope that the wheel will stop on his number at some point,” Barnea wrote.“He believed that he would reach a peace agreement; then he limited himself to a framework agreement; he later limited himself even further to an American proposal for a framework; and then just to ideas.“In the end, the entire prestige of the United States is invested in a marginal, questionable deal, which will only prolong the mutual torture.”Washington is pushing for an extension, but the negotiations hit an impasse two weeks ago when Israel refused to release a group of Palestinian prisoners as agreed at last year’s launch of the talks.Under the agreement, Israel had committed to freeing 104 prisoners held since before the 1993 Oslo autonomy accords in four batches, but it cancelled the release of the last group of 26.Among them are 14 Israeli Arabs who the Jewish state is refusing to set free.According to Israel Radio, the Palestinians are adamant in their demand that all 26 prisoners be released, but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has refused to concede on the issue of releasing the Israeli Arab terrorists. The head of the Shin Bet security service advised Netanyahu to release the 14 Israeli Arab prisoners in question and deport them to the Gaza Strip or abroad, the report said, but Netanyahu said he would not act in a way that may endanger Israeli citizens.The Palestinians retaliated by seeking accession to several international treaties.Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas told Israeli opposition MPs visiting him in the West Bank city of Ramallah on Wednesday that if talks were extended, he would want the first three months “devoted to a serious discussion of borders,” Haaretz newspaper reported.The Palestinians want a state based on the lines that existed before Israel occupied the West Bank and Gaza in the 1967 Six-Day War.
Abbas wants next stage of talks to focus on borders of ‘Palestine’-Israeli-Palestinian teams to meet Thursday with US envoy Indyk in latest bid to agree terms for extending negotiations-By Lazar Berman and Times of Israel staff April 17, 2014, 1:49 pm
Israeli and Palestinian negotiating teams were scheduled to meet Thursday, after the talks were pushed off from Wednesday. US special envoy Martin Indyk was on his way to Israel in order to meet with the parties.Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas told a visiting group of Knesset members in Ramallah on Wednesday that if a deal was struck to extend the talks, he would want the next three months of negotiations to focus on defining the borders of a Palestinian state, with detailed discussion over the specifics on maps, and that Israel should freeze all settlement building during that period.If, however, the negotiating deadlock continued, Abbas told the MKs, he would ask Israel to take over responsibility for the territories from the PA — simply to “take the keys,” they quoted him as saying.The MKs, led by Labor’s Hilik Bar, said Abbas was adamant that Israel had to free a fourth and final group of long-term Palestinian prisoners as a condition for the extension of peace talks, and that Israeli-Arabs be included in the group — as, he said, had been agreed at the start of the process. He noted that Israeli Arabs were released by Israel in previous prisoner exchanges, and thus rejected the notion that such releases were unprecedented. He also rejected a reported Shin Bet security agency demand that 10 of the men to go free be exiled from the West Bank to Gaza or overseas.Israel last month cancelled the fourth phase of prisoner releases because of its reluctance to free Israeli Arabs and because Abbas was not committing to extending the talks. Negotiations on a wider prisoner release deal, possibly to include the US freeing American-Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard, were then derailed when Abbas filed applications to join 15 international treaties and conventions — a move Israel called a “major breach” of Israeli-Palestinian understandings.State Department spokesman Marie Harf said that both sides wanted to reach an agreement to extend the talks beyond the April 29 deadline.A Palestinian official told AFP the Israeli-Palestinian negotiators’ meeting was pushed off from Wednesday in order to allow US envoy Indyk to arrive in the region and take part in the talks, but an Israeli official said the postponement was due to the West Bank shooting attack on Monday that killed a senior Israeli police officer and injured his wife and son.“The meeting that was planned for tonight between Israeli and Palestinian negotiating teams will not be taking place. It’s being postponed,” an Israeli official told AFP on condition of anonymity.Baruch Mizrahi, a father of five, was shot dead by Palestinian terrorists near the West Bank city of Hebron as he drove to celebrate the traditional Passover banquet with his family.The victim was killed when the family’s car was struck by several bullets. Mizrahi’s pregnant wife Hadas was injured in the attack. Mizrahi was laid to rest on Wednesday.An Israeli official said Monday’s terror attack “was the direct result of ongoing incitement and glorification of terrorism that we see in the official Palestinian media and education system.”Despite the attack, Abbas met as scheduled with the group of dovish Knesset members led by Bar, and told them he was willing to maintain security cooperation with Israel even if peace talks are not being held, Israeli media reported. He also condemned the killings of all civilians and reportedly said he was dismayed that Israel was not working with PA security forces to track down the Hebron gunman. However, he reportedly told the MKs he would only publicly condemn the killings once an investigation into the attack had been completed.The US has been taking steps to revive talks that began to deteriorate rapidly at the end of March after Israel nixed the planned release of Palestinian prisoners and Abbas applied for Palestinian membership to the 15 U and other international treaties and conventions, despite a commitment to not take such a step.New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman warned on Wednesday that if US Secretary of State John Kerry stepped back from the peace effort, both sides would be sorry. “The truth is Kerry’s mission is less an act of strategy and more an act of deep friendship. It is America trying to save Israel from trends that will inevitably undermine it as a Jewish and democratic state. But Kerry is the last of an old guard. Those in the Obama administration who think he is on a suicide mission reflect the new US attitude toward the region. And those in Israel who denounce him as a nuisance reflect the new Israel,” Friedman wrote. “Kerry, in my view, is doing the Lord’s work. But the weight of time and all the changes it has wrought on the ground may just be too heavy for such an act of friendship. If he folds his tent, though, Israelis and Palestinians will deeply regret it, and soon.”Last week, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu suspended contact between Israeli and Palestinian officials as part of punitive measures against the PA for the applications to international bodies. However, the ban did not include contact between Defense Ministry officials and their Palestinian counterparts, enabling joint security work in the West Bank to continue. Palestinian Authority Religious Affairs Minister Mahmoud al-Habash told a group of Israeli journalists in Ramallah on Wednesday that one of the conditions the Palestinians have laid down for continuation of the negotiations is that Israel present a map that shows the borders between a future Palestinian state and Israel. The issue of the map and the delineation of state lines are matters that keep coming up again and again between the two sides, Habash said.He added that the PA will not agree to be a ruling body without power and that the current situation will not continue beyond the end of the year. Habash warned that the price of failed peace talks is likely to be painfully heavy and hinted that the PA is likely to fall apart if talks fail.Times of Israel staff and AFP contributed to this report.

US calls anti-Semitic Ukraine leaflets ‘grotesque’-It remains unclear who produced fliers calling on Jews to register with authorities or face consequences-By Lazar Berman and AP April 18, 2014, 2:39 am 24-The Times of Israel
The United States on Thursday condemned as “grotesque” the distribution of leaflets demanding that Jews in eastern Ukraine register with a self-proclaimed local authority or face consequences. US officials also denounced other instances of religious intolerance that are inflaming tensions in the crisis in Ukraine and said no such behavior could be tolerated.Speaking in Geneva after top diplomats from the US, European Union, Russia and Ukraine reached agreement on steps to de-escalate the situation, Secretary of State John Kerry denounced the leaflets.“In the year 2014, after all of the miles traveled and all of the journey of history, this is not just intolerable; it’s grotesque,” Kerry told reporters. “It is beyond unacceptable. And any of the people who engage in these kinds of activities, from whatever party or whatever ideology or whatever place they crawl out of, there is no place for that.”Kerry also denounced apparent threats to members of the Russian Orthodox Church from members of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. He noted that the agreement signed on Thursday “strongly condemned and rejected all expressions of extremism, racism and religious intolerance, including anti-Semitism.”Also Thursday, the Simon Wiesenthal Center released a statement saying that Geoffrey Pyatt, the US ambassador in Kiev, told Mark Weitzman, SWC’s director of government affairs, that the fliers were “clearly part of a general effort to sow fear among Ukrainian Jews.”Pyatt added that he doesn’t know who was behind the literature.In Washington, US officials said the anti-Semitic leaflets, which recall the days of czarist pogroms and Nazi-era persecution of Jews, have appeared recently in the eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk. The State Department said it was looking into who is responsible but said it took the threat seriously, no matter who was behind the leaflets.The leaflets seen by US officials purport to come from the Donetsk People’s Republic, a self-styled, unrecognized breakaway authority that seeks to join Russia. The Donetsk Republic press office denied any involvement in the matter and says the leaflets are fake.
Filipino devotees re-enact crucifixion of Christ
By AARON FAVILA -APR 18,14-YahooNews
SAN PEDRO CUTUD, Philippines (AP) — Devotees in northern Philippine villages had themselves nailed to wooded crosses to re-enact the crucifixion of Jesus Christ as thousands of local and foreign spectators watched the bloody annual rites to mark Good Friday in Asia's largest Roman Catholic nation.Church leaders and health officials have spoken against the practice, which mixes Roman Catholic devotion with folk belief, but the annual rites continue to draw participants and huge crowds, particularly in northern Pampanga province.Sign painter Ruben Enaje, 53, had himself nailed to a cross at a dusty mound in Pampanga's San Pedro Cutud village for the 28th year. He began his yearly rite after surviving a fall from a building. Men dressed as Roman soldiers hammered stainless steel nails into his palms and feet, as a crowd of onlookers stood with cameras ready to capture his and other penitents' agony.Lasse Spang Olsen, a 48-year-old filmmaker from Denmark, also had himself nailed to a cross, joining Enaje and eight other Filipino devotees. He grimaced in pain as nails pierced his hands and feet.Olsen said he made a film two years ago about Enaje's yearly crucifixion and decided to have himself crucified after falling sick twice. He had a small camera attached to his cross while a colleague filmed his experience."It's a personal matter between me and (God)," he said, with his finger pointing up. After being helped down from the cross, he said of his experience: "Fantastic, you should try it."Archbishop Socrates Villegas, head of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines, discouraged the crucifixions."If what you do makes you love others more, then it is pleasing to God," he said. "But if you do it for photographs, just to be famous, that is spiritual vanity."The health department also discouraged the practice because of health risks. Health Undersecretary Eric Tayag urged devotees to get anti-tetanus shots.Devotees undergo the crucifixions in the belief that such extreme sacrifices are a way to atone for their sins, attain miracle cures for illnesses or give thanks to God.
04/17/2014 - THE VATICAN INSIDER-Pope washes the feet of twelve disabled women and men on Holy Thursday-Francis washes the feet of 12 disabled people-Francis washed the feet of 8 men and 4 women at a center for disabled people in Rome on Holy Thursday, as he led the celebration commemorating Jesus’ Last Supper-gerard o'connell
Rome-Pope Francis washed the feet of twelve variously disabled men and women, from different nationalities, ethnic groups and religions on Holy Thursday, at the Don Gnocchi center in Rome for people with permanent or temporary disabilities. He did so in commemoration of Jesus’ action in washing the feet of his twelve apostles at the Last Supper in Jerusalem before he was crucified.He arrived early in his blue Ford Focus, and greeted hundreds of people, young and old who had come to see him, before entering the chapel to celebrate the mass commemorating the Last Supper.Some two hundred people including the disabled patients and their relatives, as well as medical and support staff participated at the very prayerful mass, enlivened by music and hymns, at the “Santa Maria alla Providenza” center in the Casal del Marmo district of Rome, not far from the Juvenile Detention Centre where he went last year.After the reading of the Gospel account of the Last Supper, Pope Francis explained the significance of the washing of the feet, in a homily that lasted less than two minutes. He recalled that at the time of Jesus the feet of the guests, that were dirty from walking on the dirt roads, were washed by the slaves or servants of the house. Jesus however did this work of the slave or servant, he said; he washed the feet of his apostles to show them that they were to do likewise, and serve each other. That was “the testimony” that Jesus left us, he said. His followers are called to serve others, he said. “We should ask ourselves how we can better serve others”, he concluded.The Pope then knelt and washed the feet of each of the twelve disabled persons: 8 men and 4 women, aged between 16 and 86. One could see it was a big effort for the 77 year old Argentinean Pope, but he did so happily and when he had washed and dried each person’s foot, he looked up at the person with a loving smile, and on one occasion shook the person’s hand. The twelve were chosen from among the thousands of patients at the 30 Don Gnocchi Foundation healthcare and research centers scattered across Italy. The Foundation, founded by an Italian priest, Don Gnocchi, 60 years ago, embodies what Pope Francis has termed “moving out to the peripheries” in search and support of those people society has forgotten or discarded.Nine were Italian; the others came from Libya, Ethiopia, and Cape Verde. All suffer from physical, neurological and oncological illnesses.Fr Federico Lombardi, the Director of the Holy See Press Office, gave the following brief biographies of those whose feet Pope Francis had washed:Osvaldinho, 16, from Cape Verde, had a diving accident last summer and is now completely paralyzed.Orietta, 51, a woman from Rome who suffers from an illness that has affected her brain.Samuel, 66, has had polio from his youth.Marco, 19, high school student and leader of parish Youth Group was diagnosed with a cerebral palsy last year.Angelica, 86, from Maenza, former president of Catholic Action in Italy, had hip replacement surgery twice.Daria, 39, has suffered with cerebral palsy from her childhood. Pietro, 86, struggles with mobility and muscular deficiency.Gianluca, 36, he has had numerous operations from the age of 14 as a result of meningitis.Stefano, 49,suffers from serious cerebral and motor disorder. Hamed, 75, Muslim man originally from Libya, suffered a traffic accident which caused serious neurological impairment.Giordana, 27, from Ethiopia, she suffers from cerebral palsy and epilepsy.Walter, 59, suffers from Down's Syndrome.Each of these persons has received help and support from the Don Gnocchi Foundation to overcome the difficulties, marginalization and isolation they often face on account of their age or a disability.Before the Pope’s visit, Dr. Furio Grammatica, Chairperson of the Centre for Innovation and Technology Transfer (CITT) at the Don Gnocchi Foundation, told Vatican Radio that “one might think that most of them (the twelve) cannot fully catch the meaning of this visit, but this is definitively not true, even for the most critical cases”. He said that after joined the Foundation 10 years ago he had learned that “our guests have all developed a clear “sixth sense” on how much they are loved, and – in a definitively more straight way than us – they fully rely on people closer to them, who represent the fondness they feel. Pope Francis is not only a Pope, but an icon of the tenderness and strength at the same time, so they are really excited about meeting him.”In the past, Popes had led the Holy Thursday celebration and carried out the washing of the feet in St Peter’s Basilica, but Francis, following his practice as archbishop in Buenos Aires, prefers to do so in a situation on the periphery of human existence, as he did last year and again this year.
04/17/2014 - VATICAN INSIDER-Coptic priest joins Francis’ personal secretariat-Lahzi with Benedict XVI (Photo by: www.europe-israel.org)-After Mgr. Xuereb’s promotion to Secretary for the Economy, Francis has now chosen Secretary of State official Yoannis Lahzi Gaid to replace him-Andrea Tornielli
vatican city-Pope Francis has chosen a second personal secretary who will work alongside Argentinean priest Fr. Fabián Pedacchio, after Alfred Xuereb was promoted as the Vatican “finance ministry’s” number two man. The man chosen for the job is Coptic Catholic Yoannis Lahzi Gaid who is currently working in the first section of the Vatican Secretariat of State. Lahzi Gaid is also one of the “translators” who reads out the Gospel and summarises the Pope’s General Audience catecheses in Arabic.Francis’ new secretary has been living in the St. Martha’s House residence for a while now and knows Italy well: He was assistant parish priest of Latina (central Italy); in 2007 he edited a volume of texts from the Code of Canon Law for the Eastern Churches; he was the Vatican’s diplomatic representative in Congo and Gabon and was then made charge d’affaires of the Apostolic Nunciature of Jordan and Iraq before returning to the Vatican. He was previously also editor of the website of the Church in Alexandria, Egypt. In 2011, following the bloody attacks against the Coptic ortodox churches, he wrote, of his own initiative, an open letter to the Imam of Al Azhar University.For the moment, Lahzi Gaid will continue his daily duties in the Secretariat of State, alongside his new role, as Mgr. Pedacchio – who also works for the Congregation for Bishops – does. As is known, for Francis, the ideal personal secretary acts as an invisible figure. He never follows the Pope and almost never accompanies him in public but most importantly, he does not manage the Pope’s agenda for him, deciding who he does and doesn’t meet.The fact that the Bishop of Rome has chosen someone who belongs to a different religious rite – in this case the ancient Coptic rite - as one of his closest collaborators for the first time in modern history, is a fact of great significance and as sign of his support for the Eastern communities.
