The White House on Friday announced the appointment of Aviva Sufian as the first Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) Special Envoy for U.S. Holocaust Survivor Services.

The National Security Council has asked Congressmen at a White House briefing to delay passing new Iran sanctions, according to BuzzFeed. The meeting with top staffers from congressional committees dealing with Iran sanctions was called after the Obama administration launched renewed talks this month with Iran in the wake of pledges from its newly elected […]
Shimon Peres is wonderful man. The older he gets, the more he is optimistic – and the more he is detached from reality. He foresees an “Iranian Spring.” Doesn’t he know what happened in Libya and Egypt?
The IDF released a video Wednesday showing how it blew up a terror tunnel reaching Israel. The problem is there are hundreds of others waiting to be found and blown up before terrorists blow up Israelis.
Abbas is a master schnoorer. The US forked over another $!48 million to Ramallah, which is peanuts to the $2.7 billion the EU says it wasted. Abbas has no money to pay workers – again – and blames Israel.
Egypt may be in big trouble with the US, which already has suspended some military aid.Cairo held an American citizen in jail for six weeks without formal charges. Now he has committed suicide.
Strike one: Obama turns his back on Mubarak in favor of radical Muslims. Strike two: He turns his back on them and backing another non-democratic regime. Now he tries for strike three by cutting military aid.
The Obama administration’s $3.2 billion annual military aid has been suspended due to the U.S. government shutdown over the debt ceiling. The sum for 2104 was to be transferred to Israel on October 1, but this is not the first time budget crises in the United States have delayed aid to Israel. “We are not […]

Not much progress—which is really moving backwards—will be made on the Israeli-Palestinian front.
Israel, like Canada and many states in the US, has one big reason to legalize marijuana: Money. Canada launches legal medical marijuana. Colorado and Washington have legalized it. Is Israel next?
J Street, the pro-Palestinian Authority Jewish lobby that calls itself “Pro-Israel,” offered weak applause to Israel’s chief negotiator Tzipi Livni when she defended the IDF in a speech Saturday night at the opening of the annual J Street conference. While Livni received a rousing welcome and warm support from the crowd for her comments defending […]
The most dramatic change in Egypt is the war on Islamic terror. Its success can be measured by the army’s rescuing Christians from Islamists. Obama should be jealous; Christians in the PA should be so lucky.
Israel has no information to confirm Syrian rebel claims that the Assad regime has sent part of its stockpile of chemical weapons to Iraq, Knesset Member and former Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman told Voice of Israel radio Sunday. However, the regime still is planning to ship the illegal weapons to Iraq and to Hezbollah, Free […]
Israel has one life support. It starts with Yom Kippur.
Abbas in 2003: ‘We reject terrorism in all forms.' In 2013: there’s no difference between our policies and those of Hamas.’ Results of his ‘Peace Process’ are 5,700 attacks in first six months of 2013.
The closer the Palestinian Authority gets to become a country, the more it spits in the face of those who feed it. Abbas says Obama should stay out of Syria; PA media blame Obama for the civil war and 9/11.
Taliban terrorists reminded Americans what happens when the US acts in the Middle East. Suicide bombers attacked a US base in Afghanistan. No U.S. soldiers were killed, but Obama’s foreign policy in danger.
Remember this the next time Kerry claims Israel’s oppression of Arabs, by giving them equal opportunity, is the reason for hate and violence. Two Arab workers at a Jerusalem mall tried to blow it up.
Russia sends an anti-sub ship and missile cruiser to the Mediterranean, Britain sends jets, and Iran threatens Doom. If anyone needs to worry about a US attack on Assad, it is Israel, but Netanyahu stays calm.
By Barry Rubin
The Obama Administration believes that it can reconcile with Islamist states.
Kerry shuttled to Syria to “engage” Assad in 2006. Clinton called him a “reformer” after protests started. Obama gave Assad the gift of diplomatic ties while he was stockpiling chemical weapons. Assad fooled them all.
The Obama administration has rejected Syria’ belated offer for the United Nations to inspect the site of a chemical weapons attack last week, saying the evidence already has disappeared, The Wall Street Journal reported. The quick rejection of the Syrian offer, officially made only hours earlier, are a clear indication that President Barack Obama is […]
Abbas has caught Israel sleeping at the political chessboard and has checked, if not checkmated, the government by stating he will give up the demand for foreign Arabs to flood Haifa and Jaffa.
America forgets that it corrected the flaw in its founding by killing 30 percent of Southern men of military age during its own Civil War.
For Krugman the move from 1.3 trillion to 1.1 trillion is "down a lot."
Beware of false friends. Ban Ki-moon tries to soften up Israel by admitting that the U.N. sometimes is biased against Israel, but not to worry, because peace is on the way.
President Barack Obama announced Thursday that the Egyptian security forces’ brutal campaign against Muslim Brotherhood opponents has convinced him to cancel a major joint US-Egypt military drill that takes place every two years and is a source of prestige to the Egyptian army. “We want to sustain our relationship with Egypt [but] our traditional cooperation […]
First, the US backed ousting Mubarak because of his violence. Then it urged elections, Morsi won, and the US backed his ouster. Then the army killed a few hundred, but Kerry has a solution: Elections.

The Palestinian leadership's goal of wiping out Israel has not changed. Only if it ever does will there be any chance of a two-state solution.

The Gitmo Five were released without a prisoner exchange.
The PA puts its money where its mouth is, at least, when it talks to Arabs and not John Kerry. A PA TV program offers Arabs $100 to identify a city in “Palestine” mentioned in the Book of Jonah. Ashdod? Right.
By Barry Rubin
Why would the PA keep any post-treaty commitments? We know that Hamas will not.
Netanyahu threw a sugar pill at the Cabinet by proposing a change in the Basic Law for a national referendum before giving Israeli land to the PA. The Cabinet is contemplating swallowing the bitter pill – freeing terrorists.
Israel is to free 104 terrorists so Kerry can take the credit for the resumption of “direct talks,” but what will be on the agenda? Peace? Recognizing Israel? No. The PA will talk about a timetable for talks.
Naftali Bennett, Economy Minister and Jewish Home party chairman, wrote on Facebook Saturday night, “Terrorists should be killed, not released. All my life I fought towards fulfilling the two parts of this sentence. Tomorrow I will vote against.” A former IDF combat officer, Bennett said he has ordered his party ministers to vote against the […]

The Egyptian army military announced on Tuesday it will establish an interim regime if Mohammed Morsi cannot come to an agreement with opposition forces by Wednesday night, a virtual impossibility. The army insisted it is not intending to rule the country, but in effect it plans to unilaterally dissolve the legislature and appoint Egypt’s chief […]
What’s more important to the US, another Arab state within Israel’s current borders or the Iranian nuclear threat? The answer is in expected US arms to Israel. Despite budget cuts, it will increase.
Obama wants to arm Syrian rebels. Saudi Arabia is giving them anti-aircraft missiles. And Al Qaeda has a how-to manual use them. Then it can do what Israel feared Assad would do – down an Israeli plane.
Obama jumps off the fence and will arm rebels. Military planners proposed a limited no-fly zone in Syria to help arm rebels. The US charges that Assad has killed more than 100 with chemical weapons.

Moderate Muslims have been neglected and isolated by this project which has helped the radicals, Islamists, and pro-terrorists.
Israel could not ask for a friendlier Foreign Relations panel chairman than NJ Sen. Menendez. He used the left-wing Haaretz to state the US needs to intervene in Syria. Faint hopes for ”peace process.”
Sen. John McCain Monday slipped into Syria from Turkey Monday and met with Syrian rebel leaders, who appealed for direct U.S. military aid, the Daily Beast reported. Sen. McCain has been outspoken in his harsh criticism of the Obama administration for not having helped the rebels long ago to topple the regime of Syrian President […]
The Israeli government has announced a new step in plans to build 300 new homes in Beit El, in northern Samaria, just as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is trying to convince Mahmoud Abbas to return to talks if Israel slaps a freeze on building for Jews in Judea and Samaria. Reports from Israeli […]
The US outlaws the Hamas and Hezbollah terrorist groups. That has not stopped two TV stations, one on each coast, to air their programs urging suicide bombings. The Muslim Mideast comes to the USA.
The US is darned lucky. It deserves worse terror than the Boston bombing. And the root cause is the US backing Israel. Is that Iran talking? No. Just Richard Falk, the UN’s great god of human rights.
Blood poured like water in Syria on Sunday. Rebels claimed nearly 100 fighters were massacred. Assad’s regime in effect confirmed the report and said it “inflicted heavy losses upon terrorists.”
Who cares whether Hagel loves or hates Israel? The US needs the Jews. He brought money and parroted the official line: ‘Israel has the right to defend itself.” Thank you. He even visited Yad VaShem.
Skeptics who did not believe that Obama would not come with a game plan to force Israel back into talks on PA terms may be right. The NY Times reports that Abbas will accept an “unannounced” settlement freeze.
Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz expressed concern Sunday that U.S. financial difficulties would affect Israel's economy. "We are very worried about the financial difficulties in the U.S., and I hope they won't hurt us," he said at the weekly Cabinet meeting. Steinitz's comments came after Obama on Friday night ordered $85 billion in automatic, across-the-board cuts, […]
The White House has appointed Philip Gordon as Special Coordinator for the Middle East, North Africa and the Gulf Region, as the Obama administration continues to try to succeed where others have failed. In the official announcement, Gordon was termed the “perfect person" for the job. Gordon, born in 1962, was a senior foreign policy adviser […]
The Muslim Brotherhood has won its reward for driving the Egyptian into the ground - $190 million in immediate aide from the US n return for promises of reforms it promised t carry out a year ago.
Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood regime is making Hosni Mubarak look like a peacenik. Police tortured to death two activists, others are “missing,” but the US is politely “disturbed” at its Muslim ally.
