Today’s Top Stories
1. President Obama arrived in Israel. More on the visit below.
2. An ex-Hezbollah member formed new political movement in opposition to the terror group. YNet picks up on reports that The Movement For the Lebanese Citizen is attracting people from Hezbollah’s Beirut strongholds:
In the Lebanon NOW story, Kamiche blamed Hezbollah for taking advantage of the ethnicity issue to cover up its failures, an attempt that he regretfully admitted to be successful.
Contrary to Hezbollah, the MLC’s approach, according to Kamiche, wishes to represent different voices in the Shiite community, stressing social and economic issues, not military, in order to improve the lives of all Lebanese.
3. The Washington Post notes another step in Syria’s road to hell: Islamic law is now being applied in rebel-controlled areas.
“Their ideology comes from outside Syria, and, unfortunately, it is the same ideology they tried to apply in Afghanistan and Iraq. They failed there, and now they are trying here,” he said.

Obama’s Israel Tour ’13
• Israeli leaders greeted President Barack Obama at Ben-Gurion Airport. After all the welcoming speeches, the president checked out an Iron Dome battery, then headed off to a busy schedule in Jerusalem. See live-blogging at Haaretz and the Times of Israel.
• Dr. Mustafa Barghouti, the PA’s official bulldog for the Obama visit, got op-ed space in the NY Times. Israel needs to be pushed on peace, and only Obama can do the pushing.
• The PA prohibited reporting from Hebron ahead of the presidential visit. The Times of Israel writes:
The Palestinian Authority has issued a ban on releasing photos and videos from the West Bank city of Hebron ahead of US President Barack Obama’s visit, which begins Wednesday, Channel 10 reported Tuesday night. The Palestinian media is expected to comply with the PA’s directives, according to reports.
Hebron residents are reportedly opposed to the US president’s visit and the Palestinian Authority is attempting to avoid embarrassment over hateful displays in the city.
Ben Rhodes
• The LA Times introduces us to Ben Rhodes, the White House speech writer crafting the president’s Jerusalem keynote address. A sneak preview of what’s in store for Thursday evening:
As Obama’s trip to Israel has approached, Rhodes has been making the point that Israel can no longer rely on authoritarian leaders in Egypt and elsewhere in the Arab world to help guarantee its security. Israelis must acknowledge the impact that democratic change has had on at least some of the countries around them, he said in a recent conference call with reporters.
“Israel, as it makes peace, is going to have to recognize the broader role of public opinion in peacemaking,” he said.
As speechwriter, Rhodes must make the best of a trip that is more about symbolism than substance. The speech will stress that people can make a difference, even if their leaders are stuck, and its location will underscore that message.

is that movie about “Harodim”, by name Lazarus Fell, true? The movie claims, that jihad and co. is funded classifiedly by highest levels of Bush-gov and of US (CIA) institutions. respectively republican big power elements.
Shalom Chaverim. This you MUST see:
sockshare DOT ws/file/V1VSfd5hxtUwHPWs#
–> The movie excellently goes into the issues “911 – inside job?” and also into the abuse, torture and murder done by some of the US soldiers to Iraqis, Civilians and — Children.
The movie is superficially somewhat weak in showing what the real fanatics jihadists say, want and do. The movie also goes into that, but the poor bald youngo is weak and agressive.too low for me,bad character choice

also, big parts of the world economy actually fund alkaida jihad and co.
therefore also hamas and hizbolla, who are mainly funded by iran gov.

sadly, I have to agree to all this movie “Harodim” is saying. It’s plain true. This is terrible and very shocking. I would suggest all People to watch that movie “Harodim” (2012).
If the KKK and “even” the US CFR (council for foreign relations) and the bank of settlements and even the WTO plan a massmurder to 80 percent of mankind, this will be exposed as by this very movie. Those who plan and already do that will be hunted down, high position or not, as the criminal nazis they are. those who are rich AND corrupt think they can escape. haha soon i’ll be like this Lazarus
betcha and I need no muscles for that hehe
people should read more i think and – read carefully.

it’s also the HERITAGE FOUNDATION in America which is planning this massmurder to 80% of mankind before 2032, which Alex Jones has also purported and was mostly for that half-ridiculed by the People — they mostly don’t know where they stand or should stand in this chaos, understandable.
But when it comes to the issues, it gets very clear. But I think it’s true that the Muslim world IS LEFT ON PURPOSE without education and good economy, and I always said Saddam DID have BIOGAS weapons with which he massmurdered two million CURDS in ROCKET ATTACKS — is that UNTRUE? But Saddam had no nuclear WMDs as suggested by Bush Jr. Saddam’s demise and his execution strengthen jihad and irangov.bad.

da ugly nazi KKK cigarettes MARLBORO who read “OROBL JEW” upside down and have three RED triangles on each pack, are enough for me to prove NEW WORLD ORDER NAZISM.
I don’t EVEN need that PYRAMID with the separated top on the US dollar. But all ppl know it and they’re against it.
Also, “Brussels, EU” was exposed as NAZI, founded by a nazi and STILL nazi, by an AD in the NY TIMES.
I hope I am paranoid and exagerating when I say the nazis are closing in on us evrywhere. I just want to warn people.
if that massmurder plan succeeds to kill 80 percent of people,my ghost will kill off all survivors of mankind. I rather kill nazis and also innocents. out with it. none of the murderers will live

Yea, no. that here:
honestreporting DOT com/hot-topics/iran-a-clear-and-present-danger/
“Iran is widely recognized as the world’s leading state sponsor of international terrorism. Both directly and indirectly, Iran funds, trains and arms groups that share the regime’s stated goal of destroying Israel and the West, as well as overthrowing regimes in Muslim countries such as Egypt and Saudi Arabia. These groups include Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Hamas. Iran also provides support to insurgent groups in Lebanon, Iraq and Afghanistan which have inflicted casualties on American, British, Australian and other multinational forces….”
It’s KKK & Heritg. Fd. that are NAZIS

and it’s simply no wonder, that the KKK made a pact with alkaida.
I do think that it’s a good lesson to and for USA. too many of them are too tolerant towards nazis, towards violent people. the KKK is until now not abolished as I demand online now since YEARS.
even, if REALLY only evil people survive, they WILL be also murdered cuz they got too many anyhow “evil” people, haha in any direction. that will put up highly the good again. it will kill off ALL people, all of mankind, and nature will choose another species to develop speech. quite easy.
ants are no antisemites. they can do da juhb better than us. i only hate nazis, not animals.
I only hate violent ones, not all Muslims.

One small thing I can recommend to the Israeli Government in personal respect is, to be lenient and nice toward CUBA, which is a country suffering a LOT from general anti-communist hatred by the Americans. That hatred against communism IS often justified, but often leads to “McCarthyism”, to evil, to prejudicial and unrightful discrimination of harmless socialists. Of which I am also one. By the way.
In Cuba, no one is allowed to open up even their own restaurants, so they do it secretly to make a buck. Also, there might be power abuse by government-people, but that, we have too in USA.
It’s rather the HERITAGE FOUNDATION which is evil, not all freemasons. but some of them are also nazis.

While waiting for help, the homeowner may call their insurance provider to inform
them of the problem and inquire if it’s part of the coverage. Regular bread-maker users might be disappointed that the control panel does not signal at what phase in the mixing the machine is, and that there are no programmable features for your own recipes. Earwigs are largely nocturnal creatures that can easily be drawn in at night by any lights you have in or around your home.

So you only have to remember one single master password or select the key file to unlock the whole
database. Once decided on the things to bring, start packing.
Waiting until the park is about to close is one
way to get some privacy, as is visiting the park during Disneyland’s less busy times.

The experience: I had to have someone come in to set up my computer,
. Also be aware that any indoor pet, such as a cat or dog, may want to drink from your pond
and then find himself a healthy treat in the process. Usually take into account the following prior
to cleaning your floors:.

While some maintenance can be done by a homeowner, a good plumber or HVAC technician should be consulted to make sure that your heating system
will run efficiently during the next winter season and for years to come.
The first step in the process of maintaining a mosquito-free
bedroom is to secure the structure of the house.

Stop taking Meridia immediately if allergic reactions or
seizures occur and notify a doctor immediately.
This gadget is one of the best buys around if you are looking for the cheapest Internet tablets.
The version of Windows on my tablet pc is Windows XP and
there is no difference between it and the PC that I don’t use anymore.
