"When people criticize Zionists, they mean Jews. You are talking anti-Semitism". Dr. Martin Luther King. Emerging US-Iran Interim Nuclear Deal Endangers Israel Yukiya Amano, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, is entrusted with a decisive mission in Tehran Sunday, May 20: collecting Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s broad endorsement of the interim eight-point deal he and US President Barack Obama have drafted through secret dialogue. DEBKAfile has obtained exclusive access to the eight points - with the caveat that they may not be final. The details are still to be hammered out and proved practicable. But the way the deal stands now, it will be unacceptable to Israel because if affords Iran enough leeway to carry on developing a nuclear bomb program with no real hindrance. Debka.

All the 800 machines operating at present are devoted to the 20-percent refinement of uranium, a grade just short of bomb material. This was disclosed by Western diplomatic sources Thursday, May 17, at the same time as Washington sources reported that the Obama administration had consented to Iran producing low-grade 5-percent enriched uranium in their secret direct dialogue.

Washington: Netanyahu Is Here To Stay, So is Israel's Military Option on Iran. The unity government backed by a majority of 94 (out of 120) which Binyamin Netanyahu formed Tuesday May 8, is not just the broadest coalition ever to govern Israel, but also the first with three former chiefs of staff at the helm. Two are also present (Ehud Barak) and former (Shaul Mofaz) defense ministers. It was this feature which drew the most attention in Washington as the first reports of Netanyahu’s stunning U-turn away from an early election filtered through. “He has pulled off another term in office without standing for election,” said one senior administration source, “and he’s done it seven months before Barack Obama faces the American voter.” A re-elected Obama will find the same Netanyahu sitting in the prime minister’s chair in Jerusalem as before - after reinventing himself as a long-life premier.

However, the group has chosen a curious partner to represent the American Muslim community: the Muslim Brotherhood-founded and terror-supporting Hamas front group, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).

'Hate Crimes Against Jews Becoming More Brutal' Stephen Roth Institute's 2011 anti-Semitism report notes overall increase in hate crimes across Europe, Australia and Canada; says overall verbal threats, vandalism cases down 27% According to the report, in 2011 42% of hate crimes against Jews were committed against individuals, while 20% saw synagogues targeted, and 6% targeted schools and community centers. In addition, in 14% of the cases Jewish cemeteries were vandalized and in 18% of the cases private property was vandalized. This is why it's so extremely dangerous." The data further segmented the nature of the assault, saying that firearms were used in 5% of cases.

They are also taught that Jews do not qualify as “a people” and so therefore do not qualify to have their own state.

Omar Suleiman’s decision, finalized Thursday, April 5, to drop out of the presidential race in the June election shocked Washington and Jerusalem and dashed their hopes of a figure capable of halting or at least offsetting the Muslim Brotherhood’s monopoly of power in post-Mubarak Egypt.

Cantor Bill Would Ensure Israel’s ‘Qualitative Military Edge’ as Iran Congress has been examining legislation that would enhance the U.S. commitment to Israel’s military superiority in the Middle East. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor has introduced a bill that would require the president to report on whether Israel retained its “qualitative military edge” over its Arab neighbors. The bill, called the “United States-Israel Enhanced Security Cooperation Act 2012,” stipulated a presidential report within 180 days. Congressional sources acknowledged that the administrations of President George W. Bush and President Barack Obama denied or delayed Israeli requests for air refueling systems and advanced bunker-busters. They said the administrations feared that Israel would use the U.S. weapons in attacks on Iran. World News Tribune.

Jerusalem in Court The State Department has been refusing to enforce a law, passed in 2002 by an overwhelming vote in the Congress, giving all Americans born in Jerusalem the right to have their birthplace listed on official documents as “Israel.” The department was challenged by an infant named Menachem Binyamin Zivotofsky, who’d been born at Jerusalem and whose parents wanted him to have a passport listing his birthplace as Israel. The state department claimed the matter was a political question and therefore beyond the reach of the courts.

Poison Ivy League There is no greater lockstep in political thinking than on the campuses of American universities, particularly elite schools in the north-east. A critical component of the worldview of the academic Left now is hatred of Israel and support for the Palestinian cause. The universities can try to make student life “comfortable” for Jewish students, who by and large pay the freight (full tuition). But in the classroom, at conferences, in student activity groups and at simulated Israeli checkpoints established in the campus plazas, the hostility to Israel is alive, aggressive and increasingly unrestrained.

on this button FEATURE ARTICLES AND VIDEOS How the US State Department Almost Blocked the Creation of Israel In 1948 the US State Department went so far as to threaten to incite a wave of anti-Semitism in the United States if Zionist leaders did not cancel the planned proclamation of the state of Israel. The State Department, however, persuaded Truman to impose a complete arms embargo on the Middle East. That move primarily affected the Jews, since the Arab states had little difficulty obtaining weapons from Great Britain and other countries. Daily Caller.

How Secure Are Jews In America? American Jews, by and large, smugly and erroneously have themselves convinced that somehow they are different. That unlike the deluded Jews of the past who lived in Spain, or Poland, or Hungary, or Austria, or France, or Great Britain, or Germany, in America they have found the authentic "New Jerusalem". Unfortunately history has shown that wherever Jews have enjoyed freedom and a high level of success, there are forces working to undermine that favorable environment. Americans for a Safe Israel.

No such question can be answered with finality, but it is more likely that graduated sanctions will accelerate Tehran’s efforts to acquire nuclear weapons. The Obama administration, according to news accounts, is aghast that Israel might take preemptive action rather than give sanctions time to work. Sanctions, though, are more likely to prompt Iran to stake everything on the nuclear card.

Respiratory Problems Linked To Soda Intake Between 2008 and 2010, around 16,000 people, over the age of 16 (average age 46.7), were examined in terms of their soda consumption, using the South Australian Monitoring and Surveillance System. The researchers state that 1 in every 10 people drink at least half a litre of carbonated beverages per day. The authors found a 12.5% higher chance for soda drinkers to develop asthma, and a 4.4% higher chance of soda drinkers developing COPD. However, the study could not confirm whether this had anything to do with a regular unhealthy diet altogether, not just in terms of soda. Medical News Today.

American Academy Of Neurology (AAN ) New research shows how people could potentially stop their brains from shrinking and keep them sharp by adjusting their diet. Those with diets high in omega 3 fatty acids and in vitamins C, D, E and the B vitamins also had higher scores on mental thinking tests than people with diets low in those nutrients. These omega 3 fatty acids and vitamin D are primarily found in fish. The B vitamins and antioxidants C and E are primarily found in fruits and vegetables. In another finding, the study showed that people with diets high in trans fats were more likely to have brain shrinkage and lower scores on the thinking and memory tests than people with diets low in trans fats. Trans fats are primarily found in packaged, fast, fried and frozen food, baked goods and margarine spreads. Jerusalem Post. January 4 2012; read more by clicking on link below

A Troubling Housing Misstep By Boomers-Taking Reverse Mortgages at to Young an Age. Forbes. March 20 2012 http://www.forbes.com/sites/ashleaebeling/2012/03/19/a-troubling-housing-misstep-by-boomers/More Seniors Using Reverse Mortgages to Raise Cash Finding themselves financially strapped, more seniors at an earlier age are trying to get reverse mortgages on their homes in order to survive. "The average age for taking out reverse mortgages has been around 71," explains Sandy Timmerman, director of the MetLife Market Institute who conducted the survey with the National Council on Aging. "But with job losses, higher debt and living costs, more and more of the 'younger' seniors are looking at reverse mortgages as a way to pay their bills and keep their homes," Timmerman adds. "It shows the devastation some seniors have gone through since the financial downturn." CNBC March 16 2012

IBM and the Holocaust: The Strategic Alliance Between Nazi Germany and America's Most Powerful Corporation . Published February 2012 Newly-released documents expose more explicitly the details of IBM’s pivotal role in the Holocaust—all six phases: identification, expulsion from society, confiscation, ghettoization, deportation, and even extermination. Moreover, the documents portray with crystal clarity the personal involvement and micro-management of IBM president Thomas J. Watson in the company’s co-planning and co-organizing of Hitler’s campaign to destroy the Jews. IBM and the Holocaust is the award-winning, New York Times bestselling shocker--a million copies in print--detailing IBM's conscious co-planning and co-organizing of the Holocaust for the Nazis, all micromanaged by its president Thomas J Watson from New York and Paris. This Expanded Edition offers 37 pages of previous unpublished documents, pictures, internal company correspondence, and other archival materials to produce an even more explosive volume. Originally published to extraordinary praise in 2001, this provocative, award-winning international bestseller has stood the test of time as it chronicles the story of IBM's strategic alliance with Nazi Germany. IBM and the Holocaust provides nothing less than a chilling investigation into corporate complicity. Edwin Black's monumental research exposes how IBM and its subsidiaries helped create enabling technologies for the Nazis, step-by-step, from the identification and cataloging programs of the 1930s to the selections of the 1940s.
A Convenient Hatred: The History of Anti-Semitism Published December 2011. A Convenient Hatred, with foreword by Sir Harold Evans, chronicles the evolution of anti-Semitism from the time of Alexander through the Holocaust and modern Israel. This powerful treatise explores with exquisite detail the pernicious foundations of bigotry against Jews, from ancient times through the dark ages, the enlightenment and into contemporary examples. A Convenient Hatred could just as easily been called A Convenient History, as it illustrates the magnitude of anti-Jewish vitriol, loathing and detestation over the ages, leading to a unique and mendacious version of history that blames Jews for impossibly disparate and disconnected events and catastrophes.
Israel: An Introduction. Published February 2012, paperback. This comprehensive book provides a well-rounded introduction to Israel—a definitive account of the nation's past, its often controversial present, and much more. Written by a leading historian of the Middle East, Israel is organized around six major themes: land and people, history, society, politics, economics, and culture. The only available volume to offer such a complete account, this book is written for general readers and students who may have little background knowledge of this nation or its rich culture. Based on research by scholars with extensive firsthand knowledge of Israel, this book offers accessible, clearly explained material, enhanced with a generous selection of images, maps, charts, tables, graphs, and sidebars. This book provides readers with a solid foundation of knowledge about Israel and provides useful reference lists by topic for those inspired to read furthe r.http://www.amazon.com/Israel-An-Introduction-Barry-Rubin/dp/0300162308/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1331651588&sr=1-1
The People of the Book: Philosemitism in England, From Cromwell to Churchill, Gertrude Himmelfarb, published November 2011. The history of Judaism has for too long been dominated by the theme of anti semitism, reducing Judaism to the recurrent saga of persecution and the struggle for survival. The history of philosemitism provides a corrective to that abysmal view, a reminder of the venerable religion and people that have been an inspiration for non-Jews as well as Jews. There is a poetic justice – or historic justice – in the fact that England, the first country to expel the Jews in medieval times, has produced the richest literature of philosemitism in modern times. A recent history of antisemitism in England regretfully observes that English philosemitism is "a past glory." This book may recall England – and not only England – to that past glory and inspire other countries to emulate it. It may also reaffirm Jews in their own faith and aspirations. Gertrude Himmelfarb, professor emeritus at the Graduate School of the City University, has written extensively on intellectual and cultural history with a focus on Victorian England. Her most recent books are The Jewish Odyssey of George Eliot, The Moral Imagination: From Edmund Burke to Lionel Trilling, and The Roads to Modernity: The British, French, and American Enlightenments. She is a Fellow of the British Academy and of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. In 2004 she received the National Humanities Medal awarded by the President.

The New Anti-Semitism: The Current Crisis and What We Must Do About It. Phyllis Chesler. This passionate, highly personal jeremiad by noted feminist Chesler (Women and Madness) addresses what she sees as a re-emergence of virulent anti-Jewish hatred cloaked in "political correctness," closely linked to anti-American attitudes, sustained by many liberal feminists, intellectuals and Jewish leftists, acted upon by Islamic terrorists and jihadists, and fueled by a "demonization of Jews" in the media.
