Israel and the Palestinians
• Israel’s UN delegation dug up more dirt on false photo tweeter Khulood Badawi. Turns out Badawi was disciplined for participating in a 2008 demonstration against Israel:
“The OCHA employee’s rap sheet of incitement extends well beyond the incident this month,” he wrote. “From the time that she was hired, OCHA has whitewashed Ms. Badawi’s record of hate speech. How can Israel possibly regard OCHA as impartial, when it hires extremists like Ms. Badawi – and allows them free reign to engage in political activism?”
• Mamas, don’t let your daughters grow up to be West Bank activists. Haaretz says there’s a “wide phenomenon” of female activists from Israel and the West facing sexually harassment. How frequent?
In the past two years, at least six incidents were recorded in the West Bank and East Jerusalem: two in Sheikh Jarrah, four more in the Mount Hebron area, in Masra, in Kfar a-Dik, and an alleged case of attempted rape in Umm Salmona, near Bethlehem, that was revealed in Haaretz.
Recently, a special forum was started by a group of women from leftist groups for the purpose of dealing and monitoring such incidents.
• UN Human Rights Council launches “investigation” into Israeli settlement activity. Reuters says the US voted against the Palestinian initiative to no avail; the JPost says Israel won’t cooperate with it and Haaretz notes Jerusalem is mulling sanctions against the PA, such as freezing the transfer of tax revenues.
• Worth reading: To The Leftist Who Has No Problem With Rocket Fire on Israel.
• Over at the Chronicle of Higher Education, Alan Wolfe weighs which critique to support: the “liberal” one for a two-state solution, or the “leftist” one for a one-state solution. The word count’s 3,232, so spoiler alert:
Anyone concerned with making the world a better place should want to see Israel made a better society. That is the key truth upon which liberal critics insist, and which leftist ones deny.
• A Jeffrey Goldberg reader shares four thought-provoking reasons why Peter Beinart’s settlement boycott idea would fail.
Juliano Mer-Khamis
• One year after the senseless murder of Juliano Mer-Khamis, The Observer visits the Jenin theater he founded. The murder remains unsolved, and the accumulation of rumors is hurting the Freedom Theater:
The speculation has done more harm than good, Stanczak said: it has only fuelled paranoia around the theatre, causing students to drop out and scaring away potential new admissions.
• Benny Avni: Iran’s exploiting the Global March on Jerusalem. Some of the participants have already arrived in Tehran:
At the very least, the organizers can hope that the inevitable condemnations of Israel will distract attention away from Iran’s nuclear advances and/or Syria’s murderous suppression of dissent.
The march is on Friday; the IDF’s already gearing up.
• The Daily Telegraph‘s Nile Gardiner says Catherine Ashton should resign for equating Toulouse and Gaza.

Three Keys to Peace in Israel, which seem so Simple, yet seem to be Totally Rejected, all the while
looking for Another Way, which isn’t HY WAY!
1- Luke 21:24
New International Version (NIV)
24 They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
2-Romans 11:25
New International Version (NIV)
All Israel Will Be Saved (ISRAEL AS A NATION, AND REMNANT)
25 I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in,
3- After the Church does “ITS” JOB Acts 15:14-17
New International Version (NIV)
14 Simon[a] has described to us how God first intervened to choose a people for his name from the Gentiles. 15 The words of the prophets are in agreement with this, as it is written:
16 “‘After this I will return
and rebuild David’s fallen tent.
Its ruins I will rebuild,
and I will restore it,
17 that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord,
even all the Gentiles who bear my name,
says the Lord, who does these things’[b]—
