1. Red Cross: Hamas' Behavior Totally Unacceptable
by Gavriel Queenann

 

The International Commitee of the Red Cross, whose demand Hamas provide proof of life for abducted Israeli soldier Gilad Schalit was shot down Thursday, told reporters Hamas' conduct in the matter is "totally unacceptable."

Schalit was kidnapped from the Israeli side of the Gaza security fence in June 2006 by Hamas terrorists after they tunneled into an IDF post. Two Israeli soldiers were killed during the abduction. Schalit has since been held incommunicado by Hamas in Gaza.

The last proof of life for Schalit came in October 2009 when Hamas released a tape of Schalit in exchange for terror-prisoners being held in Israeli jails. Israel's government has since refused to release more prisoners.

"The total absence of information concerning Mr. Schalit is completely unacceptable," said the ICRC Director-General Yves Daccord.

"The Shalit family have the right under international humanitarian law to be in contact with their son," he added.

The ICRC says its repeated requests for Hamas to "permit Schalit to exchange family news with his loved ones,” and its numerous requests for access to him, have been denied by Hamas.

"Hamas has an obligation under international humanitarian law to protect Mr. Shalit's life, to treat him humanely and to let him have contact with his family," Daccord insisted.

ICRC requests for access to prisoners are usually made in private due to the sensitive, precarious position prisoners like Schalit are often in. Thursday's public request was an uncharacteristic departure from the organizations normal practices.

ICRC Tel Aviv spokesman Ran Goldstein said the Red Cross decided to mount a public campaign due to growing concern over Schalit's health and well-being.

On Thursday Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said he would remove privileges for terror-prisoners exceeding strict legal obligations in response to Hamas' decision.

"The party is over," Netanyahu said.

2. Israeli Republican Leader Does Not Support Pollard's Release
by Elad Benari

In the wake of the recent growing calls to release Jonathan Pollard, Attorney Marc Zell, co-chairman of Republicans Abroad in Israel, claimed surprisingly on Thursday that there are American Jews, including influential ones, who do not support Pollard’s release. (INN apologizes for its translator, who originally erroneously wrote that Mr. Zell is chairman of the Republican Jewish Coalition in Israel),  

He did not claim his views are the policy of the Republican party.

“As an Israeli Jew I’m obviously sorry he’s still in prison, but as an American Republican and an American citizen I do not support Pollard’s release,” Zell told Arutz Sheva’s Hebrew-language news service. “Knowing the issues inside out and knowing the background, what he did was very serious. I’m sorry he did what he did and hurt the interests of the United States, but I understand the White House.”

Rabbi Pesach Lerner, Executive Vice President of the National Council of Young Israel and a long-time activist on behalf of Pollard, disagreed strongly with Zell’s statements, saying that “Marc Zell’s comments might have been true 15 years ago.”

Rabbi Lerner explained that while it was in fact argued for years that Pollard had caused terrible damage that cannot be disclosed, these claims have become baseless after those who were most opposed to Pollard’s release have called for his immediate release.

Lerner  was referring to well known individuals such as former Vice President Dan Quayle, U.S. Middle East negotiator Dennis Ross, former CIA director James Woolsey, former Secretary of State George Shultz, and even Senator John McCain (once vehemently opposed to the idea), all of whom have publicly supported Pollard’s release. 

 Zell, however, said that while he understands the struggle of Israeli politicians for Pollard’s release, he would rather tell what he feels is the truth about the case.

“It may not be popular to say so here and if I were an Israeli politician I would join the fight to release Pollard,” he said, “but what is not understood here in Israel is that Pollard did a terrible thing, particularly since he was part of military intelligence.

“I understand the White House and it’s not just Obama,” he added. “Every administration since Pollard’s arrest in 1985 has treated this case similarly. There’s a clear message there.”

He claimed that it is possible that Pollard would never be released.

“It’s quite possible,” he said. “My heart is with all those who wish for humane reasons that he be released, but there are things I know that go beyond the humane side. I spoke to officials in Washington, some of them are Jews who are supporters of Israel, and they say that what Pollard did is very serious. I cannot describe the anger that still exists about what he did.”

Zell also claimed that other American Jews oppose Pollard’s release.

“I cannot begin to describe the anger. There are many reasons. First of all he hurt American interests, but Jews are opposed to his release because they are angry that he hurt the status of American Jews in the eyes of the American public and administration.”

Other officials involved in the campaign for Pollard’s release also rejected Zell’s claims, and noted that particularly in light of this week’s events, when the U.S. Administration refused to allow Pollard to attend his father’s funeral, there has been an increase in the support for him among American Jews.

“Several months ago hundreds of Orthodox, Conservative and Reform leaders signed a letter calling on President Obama to free Pollard, but now there is an even bigger rage against his imprisonment,” the officials said.

They added, “Indeed, there was once great anger towards Pollard by Jews who had to suddenly deal with a case where there is a conflict between loyalty to Israel and loyalty to the United States, but today, when government ministers, heads of the judicial system and top security officials in the United States have already agreed that Pollard’s sentence is disproportionate and unjust , it is clear to everyone that this tragedy has to end.”

3. Netanyahu: "The Party is Over" for Terrorist Prisoners
by Gavriel Queenann

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said benefits and privileges enjoyed by terrorists in Israeli prisons would be revoked following Hamas' refusal Thursday to allow the International Red Cross to visit kidnapped Israeli soldier Gilad Schalit.

“I have decided to change Israel’s policy toward terrorists siting in Israeli jails," Netanyahu said at the closing event of the Israeli President's conference.

Netanyahu said he was committed to upholding Israeli and international law and conventions, but not exceeding their strict requirements. A bill was previously proposed to worsen prison conditions for terror prisoners, but was rejected by the Netanyahu government.

"We are not committed to anything beyond that. As such the magnanimous conditions in the Israeli jails will end,” Netanyahu explained.

Netanyahu did not provide a comprehensive overview of the changes he intends to implement vis-a-vis terrorist prisoners. However, he did say he planned to stop the “absurd practice" of allowing “murderers in jail” to sign up for advanced academic degrees.

“There will be no more Masters' for murder, or doctors of terror,” Netanyahu said, generating loud applause and cheers from the conference attendees. “That party is over.”

“I believe that if we all place public, political pressure on Hamas, we will advance Gilad’s release,” Netanyahu said.

Netanyahu also praised leaders in the US, France, Britain and Italy who in recent days demanded that Hamas let the Red Cross visit Schalit.

Hamas last week rejected an unprecedented deal from Egypt, Israel, France, and Germany for Schalit's release.

 

Earlier on Thursday Hamas dismissed an appeal by the ICRC to provide proof of life for Gilad Schalit.

"The Red Cross should not get involved in Israeli security games aimed at reaching Schalit. It should take a stand that results in ending the suffering of Palestinian prisoners," Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri told Reuters.

In an uncharacteristic public appeal, the ICRC said said Schalit's family had the right under international law to be in contact with their 24-year-old son, held incommunicado since his capture on June 25, 2006.

"Because there has been no sign of life from Mr. Schalit for almost two years, the ICRC is now demanding that Hamas prove that he is alive," the Geneva-based ICRC said.

The ICRC also reiterated its long-standing request to visit Schalit in custody.

"The total absence of information concerning Mr. Schalit is completely unacceptable," ICRC Director-General Yves Daccord said in a statement.

"We don't know anything about his conditions of detention. But from information available to us we have serious concerns about his fate," Jean-Pierre Schaerer, head of the ICRC delegation in Israel, told Reuters.

"He is completely isolated."

4. Muslim Brotherhood Creates Super-Coalition
by Gavriel Queenann

 

Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood has created a coalition of 17 parties, including liberal and secular groups, to form a common platform ahead of legislative elections, Egyprian state media said Wednesday.

The new political alliance, including the Brotherood's Freedom and Justice Party, the liberal Wafd party, the left-leaning Tagammu, and the newly formed Salafi (Muslim Fundamentalist) Noor party, say they joined forces to "channel their efforts... into building a state of law based on citizenship, equality and sovereignty of the people."

In a statement, the parties outlined their common principles including "freedom of belief and worship", freedom of expression and a free media, the independence of the judiciary, and "an economic system based on social justice."

The members also reportedly discussed the idea of a unified list in the coming legislative polls.

The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, Egypt's interim junta which took power following president Hosni Mubarak's ouster on February 11, has scheduled parliamentary elections for September.

A September election is expected to boost Islamic factions, particularly the highly organized Muslim Brotherhood which was banned by Mubarak, but gained broad support through decades of charity work and community projects.

Some groups have called to delay elections so a constitution be drafted beforehand, while others are pushing for early polls to see the army out of power as soon as possible. Prime Minister Essam Sharaf has hinted at a possible election delay, saying it would give new parties more time to organize.

Early elections are also thought to favor the agenda of the Muslim Brotherhood whose senior leaders have said they will impose Sharia Law in Egypt if they come to power - a task that could become complicated depending on what Egypt's proposed constitution were to say.  

Egypt's interim-junta, however, says parliamentary poll will be held on schedule in September, followed by a new constitution and then a presidential vote.

Israel regards the Muslim Brotherhood coming to power in Egypt as undesirable.

Shortly after Mubarak's ouster A Muslim Brotherhood leader told an Arab language newspaper that Egyptians “should prepare for war against Israel."

5. Israeli Government Allows 7,000 Bnei Menashe to Make Aliyah
by Elad Benari

More than 7,000 members of the Bnei Menashe will soon arrive in Israel, CBN reported on Thursday.

The Bnei Menashe claim descent from one of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel, which were exiled by the Assyrian Empire more than 27 centuries ago. They reside primarily in the two Indian states of Mizoram and Manipur, along the border with Burma and Bangladesh.

Throughout their exile, and even after their one copy of the written Torah was lost, the Bnei Menashe have continued to observe Jewish traditions, including the Sabbath, keeping kosher, celebrating the festivals, following family purity laws, and remembering the Exodus from Egypt.

Shavei Israel, a Jerusalem-based group which assists “lost Jews” seeking to return to the Jewish people, has helped bring many of the Bnei Menashe to Israel, and is helping facilitate this wave of aliyah as well.

Thanks to Shavei Israel’s efforts, Israel’s Chief Rabbinate officially recognized the Bnei Menashe in 2005 as being “descendants of Israel.” The organization has also helped publish a translation of the Book of Shemot (Exodus) into Mizo, one of the main languages spoken by the Bnei Menashe, in order to enable them to reconnect with their heritage and with the basic texts of the Jewish people.

Shavei Israel’s chairman, Michael Freund, on Monday briefed the members of the Knesset committee on immigration and absorption on the successful integration of some 1,700 Bnei Menashe, who immigrated to Israel earlier, into Israeli society.

He told them that an astounding 96 percent of the Bnei Menashe are employed, the majority of their sons chose combat units during their compulsory IDF service, many are enrolled in colleges and universities, and some have been ordained as rabbis.

Freund then told the committee members that “It is time for Israel to let the remaining Bnei Menashe come home.”

He told CBN that what had happened next was a “miracle”: The committee agreed to draft a resolution that would be presented to the cabinet for approval by the end of July.

The resolution, Freund told CBN, “means we are just one month away from an historic turning point, one that will restore 7,732 precious souls to the Jewish people.”

He predicted, “Soon enough I am sure the Bnei Menashe will cross the sea, reuniting with the Land and the people of Israel after a remarkable journey.”

6. Golani Soldiers Jailed Over T-Shirts
by Gavriel Queenann

 

Four IDF soldiers from the Golani Brigade's Battalion 13 were sentenced to military prison Friday for wearing t-shirts protesting the use of soldiers to expel Jews from their homes in Judea and Samaria during their graduation ceremony Thursday, the IDF spokesman's office says.

 

Following the ceremony, in which the soldiers received their brigade's beret, signifying the end of their training, a number of soldiers removed their uniform shirts to reveal t-shirts they had printed. The soldiers, and their parents who attended the ceremony, represented both religious and secular communities in Israel. 

 

"Golani fights enemies and don't expel Jews," she shirts read.

 

Photographs of the soldiers wearing the custom shirts were distributed to the media without their knowledge, Army Radio reported.

 

The Yesha Council, representing Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria, applauded the protest,

 

"The Defense Minister and senior political officials need to take stock of how they deploy soldiers. Using soldiers to expel Jews from the settlements instead of fighting the real enemy leads people from all corners of the population to declare not to give them these kinds of tasks," it said in a statement.





The Golani Bridage has an established history of staunchly objecting to such orders. During the 2005 expulsion of Jews residing in the Gaza strip senior IDF officers became so concerned the elite brigade would refuse orders en mass that plans to use it in the destruction of Jewish communities were scrapped.

“The sentiment of the commanders in the brigade is that they are being forced to choose where their loyalties lie – with their father or with their mother. It's an impossible choice between settlement in the Land of Israel and the IDF,” the Deputy Battalion Commanders had said at the time.

The brigade was instead deployed to conduct counter-terror operations in the region.

7. Jewish Bodies Found in Medieval Well in England
by Elad Benari

17 Jews whose bodies were found at the bottom of a medieval well in England were almost definitely victims of persecution, the BBC reported.

According to the report, the Jews were probably murdered or had been forced to commit suicide.

The skeletons date back to the 12th or 13th Centuries, at a time when Jewish people faced murder, banishment and other forms of persecution throughout Europe.  Although the most famous expulsion and persecution was in Spain, England was not far behind. In 1190, the 150 Jews of York, then a center of Torah learning,  were burned to death by a church incensed mob, leading to rabbis proclaiming a cherem (prohibition to live in) the city. In 1290, after years of murder and pillage, Edward II banished the Jews from England. Many drowned trying to leave.

Scientists were able to date the bodies using a combination of DNA analysis, carbon dating and bone chemical studies. Seven of the skeletons were successfully tested and five of them had a DNA sequence suggesting they were likely to be members of a single Jewish family.

According to the BBC, the bodies were discovered in 2004 during an excavation of a site in the centre of Norwich. The remains were put into storage and have only recently been the subject of investigation.

“This is a really unusual situation for us,” DNA expert Dr. Ian Barnes, who carried out the tests, told the BBC. “This is a unique set of data that we have been able to get for these individuals. I am not aware that this has been done before - that we have been able to pin them down to this level of specificity of the ethnic group that they seem to come from.”

Forensic anthropologist Professor Sue Black of the University of Dundee’s Centre for Anthropology and Human Identification, who led the investigation team, said the discovery had changed the direction of the whole investigation.

“We are possibly talking about persecution,” she said. “We are possibly talking about ethnic cleansing and this all brings to mind the scenario that we dealt with during the Balkan War crimes.”

She noted that 11 of the 17 skeletons were those of children aged between two and 15. The remaining six were adult men and women. 

Pictures taken when the bodies were excavated suggest they were thrown down the well together, head first. A close examination of the adult bones showed fractures caused by the impact of hitting the bottom of the well. The same damage was not seen on the children’s bones, suggesting they were thrown in after the adults who cushioned their fall.

Norwich had been home to a thriving Jewish community since 1135, and many lived near the site of the well. There are records of persecution of Jews in medieval England, including in Norwich. One example of this was when Jews were executed in the 1230s after being blamed for kidnapping a Christian child.

Archaeologist Sophie Cabot, who has conducted research on the history of the Jewish community in Norwich, told the BBC that Jews had been invited to England by the King to serve as money lenders since, according to the Christian interpretation of the Bible, Christians were not allowed to lend money and charge interest.

She explained that the source for the later friction between Jews and Christians was the fact that some Jews became very wealthy from their jobs as money lenders.

“There is a resentment of the fact that Jews are making money,” she said, “and they are doing it in a way that doesn’t involve physical labor, things that are necessarily recognized as work.”

She noted that the findings of the investigation change “what we know about the community. We don’t know everything about the community but what we do know is changed by this.”

8. PA Pursuing Statehood Bid No Matter What
by Gavriel Queenann

 

The Palestinian Authority will seek United Nations recognition for statehood in September even if peace negotiations with Israel are under way, a senior PA diplomat said Thursday.

Riyad Mansour, the PA envoy to the United Nations, said the PA was simultaneously pursuing three independent tracks: restarting negotiations, building institutions for an independent state, and gaining recognition for statehood.

“If we succeed in opening the door for negotiations, we’re not going to stop from attaining what belongs to us as Palestinians in this General Assembly starting on September 20,” Mansour insisted.

American and European efforts to restart Israeli-PA negotiations have been specifically intended to avert the PA's United Nations statehood bid, which they say is counter-productive.

"Unlike the construction in the West Bank, which is an illegal unilateral act, declaring a state is a given right which is not considered unilateral," Mansour insisted.

Israel "did not ask permission to declare a state in 1948, the US did not ask the British for permission to declare a state in 1776. Our declaration of state in a natural right and not a unilateral act," he said.

"Our independence is not one of the core issues," Mansour said.

Mansour's comments were made shortly after PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas said he was willing to 'tolerate' limited Israeli construction in Judea, Samaria, and eastern Jerusalem in order to restart negotiations. Abbas has also demanded the release of terror-prisoners in Israeli jails before returning to the negotiating table.

Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman previously stated a unilateral declaration of PA statehood would render the Oslo Accords null and void.

The 1993 Oslo Accords, which serve as the basis of Israeli recognition of, and all cooperation with, the PA, contain the express understanding that an independent PA state would only be attained through bilateral negotiations and that any statehood moves outside that framework were proscribed.

Mansour added that the PA was trying to thwart Israel's efforts to convince European countries to oppose its September statehood bid, saying that the PA will ask those countries to recognize a PA state using the 1967 lines.

"The Netanyahu government is a radical government which does not reflect the position of the Israeli public. We are facing an historic moment, but the Israeli leaders are living in the past – they think they can prove everyone wrong," Mansour said.

Recent polls indicate the vast majority of Jewish Israelis do not believe negotiations with the PA are in Israel's interests at this time due to the PA's inclusion of Hamas in government and its unilateral statehood bid at the United Nations.

Responsibilities of a Public Servant Sivan 22, 5771 · June 24, 2011 A senator’s duties go far beyond normal government obligations By Alene S. Ammond Print this Page Alene S. Ammond, a former New Jersey State Senator. During my time as a New Jersey senator, Sarah, a close friend and coworker, approached me and asked me to assist her with a serious personal problem. Sarah a talented writer who often provided me with a religious perspective of Jewish issues in the state. Originally from Paris, Sarah felt she would be more comfortable in a French atmosphere and decided to move to Montreal. There she met and married a French artist and began a new life in Montreal together with her four-year-old son. However, Sarah soon realized that the man she thought to be good and decent, was in fact not a good or kind or decent. He threatened to kidnap her son, claiming he would take the child to the far Northern sections of Canada where no one would ever find them. And so, at 11:00 PM one night Sarah knocked on the door of my Cherry Hill home, fearful and distraught. I immediately understood that her husband had made good on his threat and kidnapped the child. My heart went out to her. The next day we drove back to Montreal to hire an attorney and go before the judge so that Sarah could get her son back. I told the Judge the truth about her husband. He had led a very unsavory life. Within ten minutes, the Judge slammed his gavel down and gave Sarah back her son. That night we waited until the sun went down and drove back to Cherry Hill, NJ, with Sarah and her son. I had informed my husband that we needed to clean out the refrigerator and make our kitchen kosher. While we were away my husband Harold had located a Kosher food market in Philadelphia and stocked up on kosher meats and dairy products for Sarah and her son. In her unique way Sarah wanted to thank me for helping her. As a deeply religious woman she requested that I write to the late Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, about myself, my political career etc. At the same time, she wrote to the rabbi telling him how my husband and I had assisted her in her time of need, and asking him to give me his blessing.  Click Here to Read the Rebbe's Response Print this Page   |   Join the Conversation This Week's Features Roundtable Discussion The Evolution of Judaism Learning from the Rebbe: Episode 3 The sun and the moon as symbols for innovation and tradition.

Unanswered Questions in Obama's Afghanistan Policy

By Caroline Wadhams, Colin Cookman





President Obama has set the right strategic direction for U.S. policy in Afghanistan going forward, officially beginning a transfer to Afghan control of security and a realignment in U.S. strategy. While the pace of withdrawal could have been more significant than the declared 10,000 troops this year, with 23,000 to follow by September 2012, it clearly signaled the initial trajectory of a military drawdown.
Despite these rhetorical acknowledgements, much of the detail available in the president's speech was focused on troop numbers and military schedules, and many questions remain unanswered.

The U.S. Still Doesn't Know What It Wants to Get Done in Afghanistan

By Brian Katulis
Nearly ten years into the war, the missing ingredient from President Obama’s speech was a clear definition of success in Afghanistan a longstanding problem for U.S. policy in the country. A decade in, the United States lacks a clear answer to the question: "How do we know when the job is done?" We are still in "we'll know it when we see it" territory. Read more here.

Lebanon has a radical new government giving Assad his second front
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report

17 June. Lebanon has a new government headed by Najib Mikati, ally of Syrian President Bashar Assad and Hizballah. Formed suddenly on June 13, the 30-minister lineup has earmarked an unprecedented 18 portfolios – including defense and interior – for Hizballah loyalists and pro-Syrian politicians. While fighting the uprising against his rule, Bashar Assad has recaptured Beirut. The appointment of friendly Fayez Ghosn defense minister places the army at the service of Damascus and portends trouble on the Lebanese-Israeli border.  
Gone is the careful sectarian balancing act which maintained a measure of equilibrium and kept civil war in Lebanon at bay.
The breakthrough was directly spawned by the Syrian uprising: The Shiite Hizballah capitalized on neighboring unrest to grab its largest slice of government ever. Assad set up a second front against his foes in Beirut, added muscle to his military repression at home and signaled the US, Turkey and Europe that attempts to topple his regime risked sparking civil strife and chaos in neighboring Lebanon. The peril of inflaming the entire Levant was meant to deter foreign military intervention in Syria.

• Sources in Ankara report ultimatum to Damascus Saturday: Syria has only a few days to get reforms in place before Turkey steps in.
  On June 9, DEBKAfile revealed Prime Minister Erdogan's decision in principle to send troops in Syria.
• Assad's tank forces in the Syrian border village of Badama saw Turkish helicopters hovering overhead for the first time.
• London advises British citizens to leave Syria at once.
• Washington sources: US looks into international war crimes trial for Assad and Syrian regime heads.

Karzai slams US, links hands with Pakistan, Saudi Arabia
DEBKAfile Special Analysis

18 June. Afghan President Hamid Karzai turned furiously on the United States in a public outburst Saturday, June 18. He accused Washington of carrying on direct talks with the Taliban behind Kabul's back and contaminating the Afghan environment with the chemical pollutants used in NATO war operations. DEBKAfile: Karzai is the third head of a Muslim country, after Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan, to take strong exception to US foreign policy and distance himself from the Obama administration. His diatribe was prompted by the suspicion that the US is secretly dealing with the Taliban behind his back and by finding a sympathetic ear in Riyadh for his gripes against Washington along with Pakistan.
A week ago, Karzai visited Islamabad for two days (June 10-11) of long private talks with Pakistan's leaders. 
Some informed sources say the Afghan president also saw senior Saudi officials on the quiet. On his return to Kabul he welcomed the Iranian defense minister on his first official visit to Kabul.

Saudi women start driving for the front seat
DEBKAfile Special Report

18 June. The numbers were small, around 40, but Women2Drive towards independence in their male-dominated society was certainly the most motorized protest of the Arab revolt. King Abdullah has begun opening the door of government to women's employment and women drivers were allowed Thursday, June 17, to get away with taking the wheel for a day. But at least one powerful prince, Interior Minister Prince Nayef, and most of the religious establishment hold out strongly against liberal or democratic reform.

NATO in final shot to topple Qaddafi
DEBKAfile Exclusive Analysis

19 June. Early Sunday, June 18, NATO bombers struck an apartment building in Tripoli killing 9 civilians. NATO later admitted civilian casualties caused after its earlier denial. Convinced that NATO's primary goal is the removal of Muammar Qaddafi, departing Arab League Secretary General Amr Moussa called for a political solution "based on a ceasefire with effective international supervision, cessation of all hostilities and setting a transitional period." He stressed that the "Arab attitude is based on protecting Libya's sovereignty, preventing its division and moving promptly to find a diplomatic solution."
Last week, the head of the African Union South African President Jacob Zuma accused NATO of seeking "regime change" by" political assassinations" through war.
Obama is now being warned that unless Libyan operations end this week or the White House gets congressional mandate, he will be in violation of the 1973 War Powers Resolution. Congressmen fear he may expand this role – again without seeking their consent – and be drawn into what Berlusconi has termed the last weeks of the war. The American navy's biggest and mightiest air carrier, USS George HW Bush, is standing ready in the Mediterranean at the head of large US armada.

No compromise in Assad speech - only vow to battle "terrorists"
DEBKAfile Special Report

20 June. In his first address to the nation in two months, Syrian President Bashar Assad accused a "minute" number of "terrorists" backed by "conspirators at home and abroad" of exploiting the legitimate demands for reform to serve longstanding plots to control Syria because of its geo-strategic importance.
While hinting at possible reforms, there was not the slightest suggestion that he might step down or dismiss his brother who has been leading the savage crackdown on the nearly four-month old protest.
He said he had counted 64,000 "common law offenders" in the demonstrations, equal to five army brigades. He also blamed "fundamentalists" – external and internal – for the unrest.
Indeed he spoke in the pained tone of a wronged and misunderstood leader.
The audience of regime dignitaries did not greet him with its usual enthusiasm. Assad's cure for all Syria's ills was "national dialogue" with all sections of society. Syria must deal with its own troubles.

June 21, 2001 Briefs:

• PA chairman Abbas says he is open to negotiations instead of UN move. DEBKAfile first reported this on June 15.
• President Obama and Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan talked Monday about the Syria situation.  The White House: They agreed Syrian government must end violence now and promptly enact meaningful reforms.
• UK air force chief Sir Simon Bryant warns MPs that intense air operations in Afghanistan and Mid East taking toll of equipment and men. Morale among airmen "fragile" - undermined by overwork and defense cuts.
• Libya accused NATO of second attack on civilian targets in two days:
  Three children were among 15 killed in heavy bombing strike Monday on compound of Qaddafi's friend Khoweidi al-Hamidi at Surman, west of Tripoli.
  NATO claimed it was a command and control center.
• Obama says Israel and US must assess the new Middle East with fresh eyes. Talking to Jewish donors to his reelection campaign, he called Israel America's closest ally.

Syrian drives refugees back to ghost towns. Palestinians join anti-Assad protest
DEBKAfile Exclusive report

21 June. The Syrian army went into action Tuesday, June 21, the day after the Assad speech, to drive back to their homes the nearly quarter of a million civilians who fled towns and villages to escape military persecution. This figure contradicts the numbers put out of only a few thousand refugees in flight. DEBKAfile's sources reported sounds of gunfire and explosions coming from the hill refuges of northern Syria, to which Turkeyhas been ferrying food, clean water and medical supplies to the starving and traumatized people.
Syrian President Bashar Assad remained unmoved by the risk of a showdown with the US and Turkey - even after the ominous phone conversation between US President Barack Obama and Turkish Prime Minister and Obama's demand that his regime end the "outrageous" violence now.
For the first time too, Palestinians from the refugee camps around Damascus have thrown their weight behind the anti-Assad opposition.

• Palestinians lobbed bottle bombs at border police in Silwan, Jerusalem Tuesday night.

Italy's call for immediate halt of Libya war: Qaddafi's gain, NATO's loss
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report

22 June. Three months after the first NATO bombardments in Libya, Italy has called for an immediate halt in hostilities "to allow humanitarian aid to reach civilians." DEBKAfile: Since 90 per cent of NATO's air strikes come from bases and command centers in Italy, Rome's pullout badly jolts the entire war effort. The only chance of success depends on US President Barack Obama overcoming stiff congressional resistance to restoring the United States to full participation in the coalition military assault and operations similar to its Tomahawk missile and air bombardment of the first two weeks. This is unlikely to happen.
 (DEBKAfile was one of the few publications which consistently reported from the third week of March, 2010, that NATO could not win the Libya war. (March 20: First coalition cracks as Qaddafi digs in for guerilla war.  March 24: No fly zone runs down)
After buying British and French commanders' assessment that the war against Qaddafi is unsustainable beyond summer's end, Berlusconi the Italian prime minister decided that mending his fences with Muammar Qaddafi and recovering Libyan oil supplies was the better option.

Three Russian designers of Iran's nuclear plant die in plane crash
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report

23 June. The three scientists who planned, designed, built and operated Iran's first nuclear reactor at Bushehr this year died Tuesday night, June 20, when a Rusaero flight from Moscow crashed at Petrozavodsk in northwest Russia. DEBKAfile reveals they were among the 44 passengers killed. Their loss is a blow to Russia's atomic reactor and energy industries because of their expertise in synchronizing different nuclear systems. Some intelligence sources say that Bushehr's amalgam of systems made it vulnerable to the Stuxnet virus two years ago.
The authorities have ordered an investigation to find out why all three senior nuclear scientists were aboard the same airliner in violation of Russian security regulations which prohibit more than one high-ranking politician, military figure or executive of a sensitive industry taking the same flight.

The GOP’s Plan for (Un)Shared Sacrifice

Jun 24, 2011 | By ThinkProgress War Room

What the GOP Really Means by ‘Shared Sacrifice’

Yesterday, we covered the GOP’s temper tantrum, as the New York Times called it, in which Republican leaders bailed on negotiations to avert a default on our obligations — a default that is only on the table as a result of the GOP’s willingness to keep paying the bills we started racking up as a result of Bush-era policies. While GOP infighting certainly played a role in yesterday’s shenanigans, the core issue is the GOP’s unwavering devotion to protecting (and even expanding) tax giveaways for the wealthy, Big Oil, and other special interests. These giveaways have been put on the national credit card, and now the GOP wants to forward the bill to the rest of us or simply not pay it at all. (Good luck getting a decent loan for a new house, a car, or a student loan if they go down that road.)

We thought we’d keep it real simple and break down who gets to sacrifice and who gets off easy if the GOP gets its way.

ON the GOP’s chopping block:

• Medicare
• Medicaid
• Social Security
• Tax cuts for people making less than $500,000
• Government programs and services that tens of millions of Americans depend on each day

NOT on the GOP’s chopping block:

• Tax giveaways to Big Oil
• Tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas
• Tax loopholes for hedge fund billionaires
• Wasteful tax loopholes used by huge corporations to avoid paying their fair share
• Tax breaks for yachts and vacation homes
• Tax breaks for people making more than $500,000

In one sentence: The GOP is willing to risk another economic calamity when we can least afford it if that’s what it takes to protect tax breaks for the wealthy, Big Oil, and huge corporations — tax breaks paid for by ending Medicare, slashing Medicaid and Social Security, and cutting the government programs and services we depend on each and every day.

Evening Brief: Important Stories That You May Have Missed

Just hours after ThinkProgress reported Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) would be signing his controversial budget into law at the business of a convicted tax felon, his office claimed they knew nothing about his background. A Walker spokesperson has since announced the bill will now be signed in a new location.

Conservative Tea Party activists have started their own production company to combat the raging liberalism of Hollywood. Colony Bay Productions will release its first film straight to DVD following an initial screening.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s son, Yair Netanyahu, made racist comments about Muslims and Arabs on his Facebook page, writing “The Arab sons-of-bitches desecrated our holiest day… it is our duty to do the minimum to save our honor and boycott ever Arab business or product.” +972′s Noam Sheizaf reminds his readers that two years ago, the prime minister’s aids were scrambling to explain racist comments made by his 99 year old father Ben-Zion Netanyahu.

The Obama administration’s Libya intervention could have avoided recent congressional backlash had the administration been more proactive about briefing Congress on Libya and if White House aides “not been too physically exhausted to pay a little more attention to Capitol Hill,” reports the Cable’s Josh Rogin.

President Obama’s Afghanistan withdrawal plan is “insufficient” and the “anti war movement in Congress is going to continue to grow and intensify,” Reps. Walter Jones (R-NC) Jim McGovern (D-MA) told ThinkProgress. McGovern criticized both neoconservatives and the editorial page of the Washington Post for pushing for continuing the war in Afghanistan.

Rep. Chris Murphy (D-CT) says Justice Clarence Thomas’ many ethics scandals are starting to rise to the level where there should start to be some real investigations as to whether Thomas can continue to serve as a justice on the Supreme Court.

Privatizing Medicare is a terrible idea that has already failed.

If President Obama decides to save the world economy by ignoring the debt ceiling, it’s likely that no one can stop him.

Vote suppression guru Hans von Spakovsky claims to have the smoking gun proving voter fraud is a real problem that has to be stop. Turns out Spakovsky’s gun shoots blanks.

News You Can Use: The GOP is Now Refusing To Pay the Bills Their Policies Racked Up

Why do we have to raise the debt ceiling at all? In order to pay the bills we’ve already racked up as a result of failed Bush-era policies — namely massive tax cuts that overwhelmingly benefited the wealthy and two wars. This chart says it all:

As our friends at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities note, “Without the economic downturn and the fiscal policies of the [Bush] Administration, the budget would be roughly in balance over the next decade.”

2012 Watch — Bachmann’s Top 10 Craziest Quotes

Michele Bachmann will once again “officially” announce her presidential campaign this coming Monday in Waterloo, Iowa. Here’s her top 10 craziest quotes, via ThinkProgress:

(1) BACHMANN WARNED ‘THE LION KING’ WAS GAY PROPAGANDA: At the November 2004 EdWatch National Education Conference, Bachmann said the “normalization” of homosexuality would lead to “desensitization”: “Very effective way to do this with a bunch of second graders, is take a picture of ‘The Lion King’ for instance, and a teacher might say, ‘Do you know that the music for this movie was written by a gay man?’ The message is: I’m better at what I do, because I’m gay.”

(2) BACHMANN CLAIMED ABOLISHING THE MINIMUM WAGE WOULD CREATE JOBS: While testifying in front of the Minnesota Senate in 2005, Bachmann said, “Literally, if we took away the minimum wage — if conceivably it was gone — we could potentially virtually wipe out unemployment completely because we would be able to offer jobs at whatever level.” This isn’t remotely true. Even simply reducing the minimum wage would, as Paul Krugman noted, “at best do nothing for employment; more likely it would actually be contractionary.”

(3) BACHMANN CLAIMED THAT SCIENTISTS ARE SUPPORTERS OF INTELLIGENT DESIGN: During a 2006 debate, Bachmann said, “There are hundreds and hundreds of scientists, many of them holding Nobel Prizes, who believe in intelligent design.” This was, and is, not true.

(4) BACHMANN CLAIMED TERRI SCHIAVO WAS ‘HEALTHY’: Not long after Terri Schiavo died, Bachmann said she would have voted for the Palm Sunday Compromise because Schiavo “was healthy. She had brain damage — there was brain damage, there was no question. But from a health point of view, she was not terminally ill.” An autopsy found that Schiavo had suffered irreversible brain damage and her brain, said the medical examiner, was “profoundly atrophied.”

(5) BACHMANN LIKENED VISITING IRAQ TO VISITING MALL OF AMERICA: In 2007, Bachmann returned from a junket to Iraq and told her colleagues, “[T]here’s a commonality with the Mall of America, in that it’s on that proportion. There’s marble everywhere. The other thing I remarked about was there is water everywhere.” As ThinkProgress documented at the time, the comparison was preposterous.

(6) BACHMANN CLAIMED THAT CARBON DIOXIDE IS ‘HARMLESS’: In 2008, a Stanford scientist revealed “direct links” between increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and “increases in human mortality” — globally, he found that as many as “20,000 air-pollution-related deaths per year per degree Celsius may be due to this greenhouse gas.” The next year, Bachmann, who is not a scientist, said, “Carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn’t even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas.”

(7) BACHMANN CALLED FOR A CONGRESSIONAL WITCH HUNT: Pivoting off the news of Barack Obama’s alleged relationship to former Weather Underground member William Ayers, and his former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Bachmann accused the candidate of having “anti-American views.” She then suggested that congressional liberals — including Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid — ought to be subject to “an exposé” by the media because of their views. “I think people would love to see like that,” she told a stunned Chris Matthews.

(8) BACHMANN SUGGESTED GAY SINGER SHOULD REPENT AFTER GETTING CANCER: Bachmann saw Melissa Etheridge’s cancer as a teachable moment: “Unfortunately she is now suffering from breast cancer, so keep her in your prayers,” she said in November 2004. “This may be an opportunity for her now to be open to some spiritual things, now that she is suffering with that physical disease. She is a lesbian.”

(9) BACHMANN BOASTED ABOUT BREAKING THE LAW: In advance of the 2010 national Census, Bachmann told The Washington Times that she would breakthe law by not completing the forms. “I know for my family, the only question we will be answering is how many people are in our home,” she said. “Wewon’t be answering any information beyond that, because the Constitution doesn’t require any information beyond that.”

(10) BACHMANN CLAIMED THAT GLENN BECK COULD SOLVE THE DEBT CRISIS:During a February trip to South Carolina, Bachmann told a South Carolina audience, “I think if we give Glenn Beck the numbers, he can solve this [the national debt].”
