1. Idea of Flotilla for Hamas Begins to Sink
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu
Israel has threatened sanctions against journalists taking part in the pro-Hamas flotilla, which already has been whittled down following American pressure.
The Government Press Office said Sunday that any journalist on one of the ships scheduled to sail Tuesday for Israel will be barred from entering the country for 10 years.
GPO director Oren Helman wrote the foreign journalists that he flotilla is "a dangerous provocation that is being organized by western and Islamic extremist elements to aid Hamas."
He continued, "I would like to make it clear to you and to the media that you represent, that participation in the flotilla is an intentional violation of Israeli law and is liable to lead to participants being denied entry into the State of Israel for 10 years, to the impounding of their equipment and to additional sanctions.”
It was not clear if Israel would take away the credentials of Amira Hass, the Haaretz journalist who once lived in Gaza, now is based near Ramallah and whose articles routinely castigate Israel. Police arrested her two years ago after she sailed to Gaza on a pro-terrorist boat and last year she was arrested again "for violating the law which forbids residence in an enemy state."
She wrote Sunday, “There are about 50 of us, men and women, due to sail on the Tahrir, whose name is a reference to the Cairo square where protests earlier this year led to the downfall of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's regime. Several hundred other activists, from about 20 countries, and several dozen journalists are currently preparing to set sail for Gaza.”
Her hopes for a large flotilla, if any, seem to be dwindling. Greece has postponed permission for a ship to sail following a complaint last week challenging the safety of the ship that is to sail from its ports. Cyprus already has banned the planned sailings to Hamas-controlled Gaza, and Turkey effectively blocked the Mavi Marmara ship from sailing from it ports through bureaucratic delays.
The United States has strongly condemned the flotilla effort that is being staged to challenge Israel’s maritime blockade against Hamas. The United Nations has stated there is no humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and all goods and merchandise can be sent to Gaza overland through Egyptian and Israel crossings.
Israel has imposed the blockade to stop the smuggling of weapons, primarily from Iran and Syria, into Gaza. Hass downplayed the reason Sunday, writing, “The new flotilla has been organized by a coalition of organizations, all of which refuse to accept the Israeli argument that the Gaza Strip is no longer besieged and that if there is a siege, it is only because of the arms Hamas has been smuggling into the territory [emphasis added].”
The Netanyahu government launched a strong diplomatic offensive several weeks ago to try to prevent any chance of a repeat of last year’s clash with Turkish-based terror activists aboard the Mavi Marmara. The terror activists brutally assaulted Navy commandos as they reached the deck after rappeling down ropes from a hovering helicopter.
Nine of the terrorists were killed before the commandos were able to take control of the Mavi Marmara. It later was discovered that the boat was not carrying any humanitarian aid, and Israel confiscated videos that proved that the IHH-terror linked activists were planning for an armed confrontation.

2. Shalit in Hamas Hands for Five Years
by Gil Ronen
Five years have passed since the savage terrorist organization Hamas took Israeli soldier Sergeant Gilad Shalit captive in a raid on an IDF position near Gaza. Two of Shalit’s fellow soldiers were killed in that raid.
Since then, the terrorist group has held Shalit incommunicado at an unknown location, as a bargaining chip for the release of terrorists held in Israeli jails and as a means of getting attention and conducting endless psychological warfare against the Israeli people.
Israelis are notoriously sensitive to the welfare of their captive soldiers and citizens. In the state’s early decades, the government refused as a matter of principle to negotiate with terrorists and preferred to conduct military raids to release hostages. The most famous of these was the Entebbe raid, in which Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s brother Yoni was killed.
The Israeli position has softened since the mid-1980s, however, and over the years Israel has proven its willingness to pay for the release of hostages by releasing hundreds of terrorists. In terms of internal Israeli culture, the virile soldierly ethos of the past is derided as "machoism" by the carriers of Political Correctness, who peddle a more "sensitive" and "nurturing" mindset.
While Israel formally does not talk to Hamas, negotiations for Shalit’s release have been going on through intermediaries for years. Every few weeks, the media prominently reports “progress” in talks for his release, and these reports are then denied. The result is an emotional roller-coaster for the public.
In Jerusalem, Shalit's parents, his brother and his brother's girlfriend chained themselves to one another and to a railing on the side of a small street near the prime minister’s residence.
"We are marking five years' anniversary of Gilad's captivity in the Hamas hands and we, as you can see, are also a family in captivity for five years," said Shalit's father Noam in Jerusalem Sunday.
In Israel, some 400 activists gathered Sunday at Kerem Shalom, the border crossing where Shalit was captured on June 25, 2006.
Over the years, Shalit’s family members have been joined by a well-oiled public relations machine which usually calls for a surrender to Hamas’s demands. To a lesser degree, the Shalit campaign places pressure on Hamas or calls for a toughening of the closure on Gaza. The Israeli press cooperates fully with the PR moves.
On the fifth anniversary, Israel's largest news website, Ynet, is broadcasting a live stream from a mock jail cell in which media celebrities, former POWs and others spend an hour each, talking to the cameras and expressing their thoughts and emotions. The Shalit family has announced an SMS petition campaign for their son's release. Previous campaigns have included a march from the Shalits' home in Galilee to Jerusalem, protests by youths, an "army" of cardboard cutouts in Schalit's image outide the Prime Minister's Office and the disruption of the main Independence Day ceremony in Jerusalem.
The leaders, activists and experts opposed to the release of Shalit at the price demanded by Hamas say that such a deal would strengthen Hamas and lead to the deaths of many innocent Israelis as a result.

3. Prisons Service Set to Worsen Terrorists’ Conditions
by Gil Ronen
Lt. Gen. Aharon Franco, Head of the Israel Prisons Service, is quoted Sunday as saying that the IPS intends to deny terrorist – or “”security” – prisoners all of the privileges not mandated by international law.
Photo taken from an inmate's Facebook account and displayed on Maariv website.
“We are currently in a process of assessment vis-à-vis everything to do with the holding of security prisoners,” Franco told the Maariv daily newspaper. “All that is required by the treaties and laws governing prisoners, we will give, but whatever is not – we intend to remove. We are carrying out a legal and intra-organizational examination of the IPS. As the Prime Minister said, we have stopped the process of registering prisoners to academic studies.”
The interview was granted following Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's statement that "the party is over" for terror prisoners.
Franco said that the security prisoners, who number almost 6,000, have been receiving more and more privileges over the course of 20 years (Note: the “Oslo peace process” began in 1993 – Ed.).
“Every privilege granted until now is currently being reviewed both on the legal plane and on the internal IPS plane. What is not deserved will not be given… We are looking at the subject of the canteen, we are looking into the books, the newspapers, the television, the visits and even room conditions.”
In a 2008 interview in Maariv, an IPS official listed some of the privileges granted to terrorist inmates in Israel. Terrorists are granted three hours a day to wander the premises, he said, where they socialize and play games. The prison provides ping-pong tables, basketball courts, soccer fields and backgammon sets.
Terrorist prisoners receive meat and fish on holidays and are allowed to purchase 1,200 shekels' worth of food each month in the prison canteen, where they can buy more meat, besides soda, candy, cigarettes and similar items. Most prisoners apparently get money to buy luxury items from the terrorist groups they represent, the unnamed official said. They live in "one big summer camp," he summed up glumly.
Franco denied Sunday that prison conditions in Israel are better than in other countries. “Our conditions are not hotel conditions, despite what one might imagine when looking at the photos published in Maariv, as if the prisoners are living in luxurious conditions. If I arranged the plates of ten prisoners who share a single cell on the table, it would look as if they are readying for a feast, but that is not the situation.”
Franco noted that there are, on average, two square meters of cell space per prisoner.
Franco did not deny that the changes in conditions are connected with an attempt to pressure Hamas regarding Gilad Shalit, but noted that the process of re-examining conditions had begun under his predecessor, Benny Kanyak.
Laws have been introduced and committees established in the past, with the purpose of limiting terrorists' conditions. Yet, the party goes on. The main factor working against the worsening of conditions is the belief, within the IPS, that if prisoners riot and the wardens are forced to use violence against them in response, subsequent committees of investigation will not give the wardens any moral or legal support.

4. PA's 4 Preconditions for Talks with Israel Include Support at UN
by Chana Ya'ar
The Palestinian Authority has presented the Quartet of peacekeeping nations (the United States, Russia, United Nations and European Union) with four pre-condition for resuming talks with Israel.
Palestine Liberation Organization chief negotiator Saeb Erekat told Saudi newspaper Al-Watan in an interview Friday the list of demands included the following:
1. A complete halt to all Israeli construction in areas claimed by the PA for the formation of its country. This includes something as simple as adding a balcony to an apartment in the 40-year-old Jerusalem Jewish neighborhoods of Ramat Eshkol or French Hill, for example.
2. Agreement that the 1949 Armistice lines with mutually-agreed land swaps are the basis for talks.
3. European Union support for PA reconciliation efforts between the Fatah faction and the Hamas terrorist organization. This point completely contravenes conditions by the Quartet that freezes all funding and recognition of any PA government that includes Hamas until the terrorist group is willing to formally acknowledge Israel's right to exist, renounce violence and uphold agreements made by prior PA governments.
4. EU support for a PA declaration of statehood in the U.N., and an acknowledgment that such a declaration does not present any contradiction to negotiations with Israel.
Erekat was adamant that only a total halt to Jewish construction in pre-1967 areas of Israel, including Jerusalem, would inspire the PA to resume negotiations.
"The Palestinian stance is very clear and precisely defined," he said. "Negotiations over a two-state solution based on 1967 borders and a complete halt to Israel's settlement activities, particularly in Jerusalem."
According to the report, Quartet envoys are scheduled to meet next Friday to discuss relaunching the talks between Israel and the PA.
Israel froze Jewish construction in Judea and Samaria at the behest of PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas for 10 months in the hopes of resuming negotiations, after intense pressure from U.S. President Barack Obama. However, Abbas did not come to the negotiating table until the moratorium was nearly over.
The White House hosted a summit at Annapolis at which Abbas, Jordan's King Abdullah II and Israel's Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu met together with President Barack Obama and Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, but little was accomplished. Post-Annapolis, Abbas and Netanyahu met again, but the PA chairman demanded that Israel extend the construction ban in order to continued the talks, and to include Jerusalem in the moratorium as well.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu refused.

5. Orphaned Survivor of Fogel Terror Attack Inspires French Jews
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu
Twelve-year-old Tamar Fogel, the oldest survivor of the terrorist attack on the Fogel family this year, recently joined her Bnei Akiva chapter on a visit to French and Belgium to help strengthen the local Jewish communities.
It was Bnei Akiva that saved Tamar from death at her home community of Itamar, in northern Samaria. She was attending a Bnei Akiva meeting on the tragic Friday night in March while two Palestinian Authority terrorists brutally slaughtered her parents and three of five brothers and sisters in a barbaric attack that shocked Israel and Jews around the world.
She discovered the gruesome scene of the family’s dead bodies when she returned from Bnei Akiva, and she undoubtedly would have been murdered by the terrorists had she been at home.
The terrorists, both in their late teens and from a neighboring Arab village, have been arrested. They said that had they known there were two more sleeping chlldren in the house, they would have murdered them as well.
The visit to Europe was the first time Tamar and her friends from the Itamar chapter of the national religious group had been outside of Israel. They were accompanied by Rabbi Yehuda Ben Yishai, Tamar’s maternal grandfather.
“Many members of the Jewish delegation in France thought they would strengthen the youth of Itamar during their visit, but the opposite was true,” said Yigal Klein, director of counselors for Bnei Akiva.
“The Itamar delegation demonstrated faith and spiritual strength that surprised many of the adults and youth whom they met” in France and Belgium,” he added. “It was amazing to see how the community welcomed Rav Ben Yishai with a warm embrace, sorrow and pain. But as soon as Rabbi Ben Yishai began to speak, you could see how he strengthened the community.”
Running on a tight schedule, the youth from Itamar were interviewed on French radio and visited the Jewish communities of Marseilles and Paris, including several Jewish schools.
The French and Israeli groups overcame the language barrier by using body and sign language as well as songs known to many Jews, such as Am Yisrael Chai.
The French youth, who saw news of the terrorist attack in Itamar on local television, were hesitant to speak at first, but the ice was quickly broken as the Itamar group showed “it did not visit as if it were distant from them but rather from a place of love and with a loving embrace” said Pinchas Michaeli, the counselor of the Bnei Akiva group in Itamar.
Each member of the Itamar group told a personal story, and a film, prepared in Israel, showed the French and Belgian Jews what life is like in the community, both before and after the terrorist attack.
Communities in Samaria are working on twinning with Bnei Akiva chapters abroad, according to Shomron (Samaria) Liaison director David Ha'Ivri

6. More Missiles Moving into Lebanon
by Chana Ya'ar
Hundreds of missiles have been moved into Lebanon from Syria in the past several weeks, according to a report published Saturday in the French newspaper Le Figaro.
A "Western expert" quoted in the report described trucks ferrying long-range Iranian missiles to Hizbullah bases in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley, just over the border.
Among the ordnance were Fajr 4, Fajr 3 and Zilzal missiles, allegedly removed by Hizbullah from Syria due to fears the regime of President Bashar al-Assad may fall.
According to the report, Hizbullah is unsure it would enjoy the same strong support under a new government that it has under the Assad regime, where it was able to maintain its own storage depots.
The terrorist organization is also fearful that Israel may bomb its convoys as they transport the missiles to Lebanon, the source told the French newspaper. Unnamed intelligence agencies have been monitoring the progress of the convoys, which are camouflaged.
Hundreds of Syrians, some with gunshot wounds,also crossed into neighboring Lebanon over the weekend. The human traffic, however, arrived in search of refuge from the growing government crackdown in their homeland, a Lebanese security official said Saturday. Other Syrians marched in a funeral for victims of the crackdown outside Damascus, demanding Assad's ouster from power.
Most refugees arriving at the Lebanese border came after Syrian security forces opened fire on protesters in anti-regime demonstrations across Syria on Friday. Syrian activists said 20 people were killed, including two children aged 12 and 13.

7. Arab Driver Runs Down, Kills Jewish Teenager in Samaria
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu
Police have arrested an Arab driver who ran over and killed a Jewish teenage in Samaria Saturday night. The death apparently was not intentional, but there are conflicting media versions whether the driver stopped his car to help the victim or whether he fled the scene and later was apprehended.
The victim was 14-yearold Maayan Ushpazi, who was killed as he and two friends ran across Highway 60 at the entrance to the community of Eli in northern Samaria.
The road is the main north-south thoroughfare connecting the Lower Galilee with Judea and Samaria and Be’er Sheva.
The twisty and hilly road is one of the most dangerous highways in the country, largely due to poor markings, poor lighting, Arab pedestrians who walk on the road at night while wearing dark clothing, and reckless driving.
Israeli police rarely patrol the highway, but authorities at checkpoints often catch Arab drivers with stolen vehicles, driving without vehicle registration and without licenses.

8. No Jews to be Allowed on Delta-Saudi Air Line Flights

According to a Religion News Service report, "Jews and Israelis, or passengers carrying any non-Islamic article of faith, will not be able to fly code-share flights from the U.S. to Saudi Arabia under Delta Air Line's new partnership with Saudi Arabian Airlines that is set to begin in 2012."
Back in January of this year, Delta announced that it had struck a deal with the Saudi Arabian airline to join its "SkyTeam" network in 2012 but the details of the deal's implications have only recently been revealed. The Saudi airline is SkyTeam's first member from the Middle East.
According to the dictates of Sharia law by which Saudi Arabia is governed, the kingdom has strict rules for entry. It prohibits anyone with an Israeli stamp in their passport from entering the country, even in transit. There are indications that passengers with Jewish sounding names have been denied visas.
Citizens of every country are mandated to obtain visas and sponsors required for entry, but Jews cannot obtain them. Women traveling alone or with other women must be dressed in traditional Islamic garb that comports with Saudi standards of modesty and are prohibited from entering the country without a male chaperone who must meet them at the airport. Moreover, Both Jewish and Christian bibles and non-Islamic religious items may be confiscated upon arrival at the airport.
On June 23rd, Delta issued a statement to Religion News Service saying, it "does not discriminate, nor do we condone discrimination against any protected class of passenger in regards to age, race, nationality, religion, or gender", but did not deny the new policy and insisted that it has no control over who may fly to Saudi Arabia.
"Delta must also comply with all applicable laws in every country it serves," adding that passengers are responsible for obtaining the necessary travel documents required for entry. "If a passenger travels without proper documents, the passenger may be denied entry into that country and our airline may be fined," the statement said.
Since Delta is a United States carrier, the new policy has created a firestorm of controversy. Religion News Service reported that Colby M. May, senior counsel of the American Center for Law and Justice, a conservative legal group founded by religious broadcaster Pat Robertson, said his office is trying to determine if the agreement contravenes U.S. law.
"The very idea that there is a common carrier airline service that would deny an American citizen in America access to their services because they are Jewish or have religious items such as a yarmulke, a cross or a priestly collar, is deeply disturbing," May said, adding that, "they have not responded in a way that answers the question. Hopefully they'll do so."
Expressing indignation at the Delta policy were representatives of American Jewish organizations. Kenneth Bandler, a spokesman for the American Jewish Committee said, "Saudi Arabia, a U.S. ally, should be strongly condemned for its despicable discrimination against Jews. For an American company, our nation's values should trump narrow business interests. Delta should be the first to reject Saudi airlines as a SkyTeam member."
Dan Diker, newly elected secretary general of the World Jewish Congress, said he hoped "Delta will not be complicit with what appears to be a demonstrably anti-Semitic and racist policy by Saudi Arabian Airlines."

20:16 POLITICADuro attacco del sottosegretario Crosetto a Tremonti: «Il ministro predica bene e razzola male»
Togliamo agli spioni
le armi per infamare
politica e democrazia
Governo e opposizione, messi sotto scacco dalla tirannia delle intercettazioni, si uniscano per fermare la gogna
Il ministro dell'Interno: "Chi si oppone non credo che riuscirà a fermare il cantiere, non deve farlo, perchè vuol dire arrecare un danno gravissimo soprattutto alle future generazioni, vuol dire, come è stato calcolato, far perdere due punti di Pil al Piemonte"
Il leader libico ha accettato di non partecipare a eventuali negoziati sulla Libia. Il comitato di mediazione dell'Unione Africana sulla crisi libica, formata da cinque capi di stato ha "salutato con favore la decisione del colonnello Gheddafi di non far parte del processo negoziale"
Dopo averlo annunciato in campagna elettorale, il sindaco di Milano, Giuliano Pisapia ribadisce la sua intenzione di istituire nel capoluogo lombardo un registro delle unioni civili. "Nella nostra città non ci saranno né ghetti, né esclusi né invisibili"

June 26, 2011 Tomgram: Michael Klare, The Energy Landscape of 2041
Let’s see: today, it’s a story about rising
sea levels. Now, close your eyes, take a few seconds, and try to
imagine what word or words could possibly go with such a story.
Time’s up, and if “faster,” “far faster,” “ fastest,” or “ unprecedented” didn’t come to mind, then the odds are that you’re not actually living on planet Earth in the year 2011. Yes, a new study came out in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that measures sea-level rise over the last 2,000 years and -- don’t be shocked -- it’s never risen faster than now. Earlier in the week, there was that report on the state of the oceans produced by a panel of leading marine scientists. Now, close your eyes and try again. Really, this should be easy. Just look at the previous paragraph and choose “ unprecedented,” and this time pair it with “loss of species comparable to the great mass extinctions of prehistory,” or pick “far faster” (as in “the seas are degenerating far faster than anyone has predicted”), or for a change of pace, how about “more quickly” as in “ more quickly than had been predicted” as the “world’s oceans move into ‘extinction’ phase.” Or consider a third story: arctic melting. This time you’re 100% correct! It’s “ faster” again (as in “than the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change forecasts” of 2007). But don’t let me bore you. I won’t even mention the burning southwest, or Arizona’s Wallow fire, “ the largest in state history,” or Texas’s “ unprecedented wildfire season” (now “getting worse”), or the residents of Minot, North Dakota, abandoning their city to “ unprecedented” floods, part of a deluge in the northern U.S. that is “ unprecedented in modern times.” It’s just superlatives and records all the way, and all thanks to those globally rising “ record” temperatures and all those burning fossil fuels emitting “record” levels of greenhouse gases (“ worst ever” in 2010) that so many governments, ours at the very top of the list, are basically ducking. Now, multiply those fabulous adjectives and superlative events -- whether melting, dying, rising, or burning -- and you’re heading toward the world of 2041, the one that TomDispatch energy expert and author of Rising Powers, Shrinking Planet Michael Klare writes about today. It's a world where if we haven't kicked our fossil-fuel habit, we won’t have superlatives strong enough to describe it. Tom The New Thirty Years’ War |

A revolta na Síria está a inflamar as relações com os, até agora, aliados turcos, num momento em que dezenas de milhares de sírios procuraram refúgio do outro lado da fronteira. O acolhimento de Ancara foi celebrado hoje na Jordânia por dezenas de manifestantes frente à embaixa turca em Amã. “Estamos aqui para mostrar a nossa gratidão ao governo turco e ao primeiro-ministro Erdogan, pela forma como tem acolhido os refugiados”, afirma uma manifestante. Mas, na fronteira dos dois países, a tensão encontra-se ao rubro, depois de Damasco ter iniciado operações militares a poucos quilómetros do território turco, alegadamente para “combater grupos terroristas” na região. Segundo a oposição síria, as manobras visam esmagar a revolta na região fronteiriça, depois de uma rebelião da polícia local ter sido reprimida a balas reais pelo exército. O ministro dos Negócios Estrangeiros da Turquia afirmou estar a acompanhar de perto as manobras militares, que segundo uma fonte em Damasco, deverão prosseguir até ao final da semana. O último discurso do presidente sírio, Bashar Al-Assad aumentou as fricções entre os dois países, depois de Ancara ter exigido o fim da repressão contra os civis e o início de reformas, uma “ingerência inaceitável”, para Damasco. |
