The meeting with representatives from the Justice and State departments came amid objections from a lawyer for the plaintiffs, who said the United States was "considering putting a thumb on the scale" because the Palestinian government opposes the jury verdict. "The Palestinians got a fair trial. The judgment was foreseeable, and they can afford to pay it over time," attorney Kent Yalowitz said in an interview. At issue is $218.5 million in damages awarded by a New York jury in February for attacks that killed 33 people and wounded hundreds more — a penalty that lawyers say would be automatically tripled under the U.S. Anti-Terrorism Act, but that the State Department fears could weaken the stability of the Palestinian government." -more * * * Support the Dry Bones Academy: http://igg.me/at/drybones -Dry Bones- Israel's Political Comic Strip Since 1973        • Email to a friend • ..   More Recent Articles ISIS and Mr. Expert The Deal with Iran the Smiling Optimist On The Beach Knock Knock ..

Americans for a Safe Israel   Like us on Facebook today! Follow us on Twitter @AFSInews! Wednesday, August 5, 2015 Click On These Links For Today's Features It's Not Just Getting Hot - It's Boiling! A Night to Remember - Memorial Tribute to Ze'ev Jabotinsky Calendar of Events  It's Not Just Getting Hot - It's Boiling! Events regarding "the deal" with Iran are occurring at breakneck speed. Just yesterday and today:   - Prime Minister Netanyahu, via live webcast, made the case against the deal with Iran, with an American, primarily Jewish, audience.   - Several Members of Congress indicated their disapproval of the deal   - Several Members of Congress indicated their approval of the deal.   - The American Jewish Congress (AJC), under the leadership of David Harris, announced it opposes the deal.   - President Obama stated that if Congress kills the deal, rockets will fall on Tel Aviv.   - President Obama, in his continuing criticism of Netanyahu, went on national television to plead his case for the deal.   - The Israeli government responded, issuing a statement reading in part, "This agreement does not prevent war, but brings it closer, because it gives international legitimacy to Iran to build the infrastructure to create an arsenal of nuclear bombs, and is financing the terrorist machine and its aggression with hundreds of billions of dollars."   - Secretary of State Kerry expressed doubt that Iran wants to annihilate Israel, even in the face of repeated statements to that effect, plus the release of a new 400+ page book detailing step-by-step how Iran plans to destroy Israel.   - The Israeli-based rights group, Shurat HaDin filed an injunction in New York to block the release of $100 billion in frozen Iranian assets in the United States.   - Perhaps unsurprisingly, the U.S. intelligence community has informed Congress of evidence that Iran was sanitizing its suspected nuclear military site at Parchin, in broad daylight, days after agreeing to a nuclear deal with world powers.   - And finally, Chuck "the Shomer" Schumer has continued to maintain silence. He is probably still poring over the details of the deal to make an "informed decision". Or, holding his finger up determining which way the wind is blowing.   There is some great analysis out there, way too much to be included here. However, here are a few links to some choice pieces.   National Review Online: Israeli Preemptive Action, Western Reaction  Conservative News and Views: OBAMANIZATION    The Atlantic: John Kerry on the Risk of Congress 'Screwing' the Ayatollah   Asia Times: Why Iran is obsessed with Jews (hint: same as Hitler)   The Algemeiner: US Airstrikes on ISIS Kill 459 Civilians, Show Double Standard on Israel    The Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT) DOJ May Intervene in Terror Judgment Against Palestinian Authority      Back to Top  Last Night's Memorial Tribute to Ze'ev Jabotinsky AFSI and the Nordau Circle hosted last night's Memorial Tribute to Ze'ev Jabotinsky, on the occasion of his 75th Yarzheit.   A meaningful and enjoyable time was had by all. Judy Kadish, AFSI's Co-Executive Director, opened the evening with eloquent introductory remarks, followed by AFSI's Chairman, Mark Langfan who offered greetings to the assembly. Mark, without his usual complement of maps, gave a sobering view of what could befall Israel, the Middle East and the entire world if Iran were in possession of nuclear weapons.   Rabbi Avi Weiss, just back from Israel, made a welcome and surprise appearance to honor our guest speaker, Ronn Torossian. Rabbi Weiss spoke most vividly about his recollections of the significance and beauty of Gush Katif before the expulsion in 2005.   The guest speaker for the evening, Ronn Torossian presented an intensely interesting and thought-provoking comparison of the 1930s vs. today, and a brief history lesson of Jabotinsky, the world in which he lived, and the ideology that drove world events in his time and today.    Helen Freedman, AFSI's Executive Director discussed the situation the Jews from Gush Katif have endured for the past 10 years following their expulsion by the Sharon government. This was followed by a short, emotional film about the expulsion and its aftermath.   The crowd enjoyed and appreciated the evening, and we hope to see all of you at next year's commemoration.

OBAMA, The Emperor’s New Clothes; Obama, the President, and his New Nuclear Deal With Iran; Obama - Unconstitutional, Executive Power Grab -

bs"d

"The Emperor's New Clothes" (Danish: Kejserens nye Klæder) is a short tale by Hans Christian Andersen about two weavers who promise an Emperor a new suit of clothes that is invisible to those who are unfit for their positions, stupid, or incompetent. When the Emperor parades before his subjects in his new clothes, no one dares to say that he doesn't see any suit of clothes until a child cries out, "But he isn't wearing anything at all!" 

Here we have some honest politicians innocent like children,  who expose the Obama Deal with Iran for what it is

http://unitedwithisrael.org/watch-cotton-exposes-dangerous-absurdity-of-the-iran-deal/?

In just seven minutes, US Senator Tom Cotton, a war veteran and Harvard Law School graduate, grilled Secretary of State John Kerry, questioning the Iran deal and exposing its absurdity. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95BNlWr1do4

Cotton began his attack on Kerry by stressing that he had to uncover the "secret" and unprecedented side deals between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency. 

Kerry claimed that he had not seen the text of these deals. 

The Ayatollahs know exactly what the agreement entails, but not the Americans.

Is this not absurd? Please watch and share this video.

Iran Deal Secrets Slowly Leaking Out

http://www.algemeiner.com/2015/08/03/iran-deal-secrets-slowly-leaking-out/

Well, they signed a secret deal.

....A deal so secret that it is off-limits even to the United States and will not be provided by the Obama administration to Congress for their 60-day review.

But these deals are there – and they've crippled the IAEA.

During an interview for Iranian TV discovered by MEMRI, Ali Akbar Salehi, chief of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, told a reporter that the Iranian government would not have to worry at all about the upcoming IAEA report on the military dimensions of their past nuclear programs. Any problems with the IAEA, he volunteered, had been resolved on a "political level." The IAEA would not act freely, he went on, but would be forced to act "reasonably." "In short, they will be the losers."

The IAEA report has been predetermined by political pressure from higher ups. The Iranians have nothing to fear, which makes an absolute mockery of the entire deal.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Friend,

President Obama's crusade against carbon shows he's more committed to confronting American coal miners than Iranian clerics who chant 'death to America.' Obama's job-killing EPA rule is a handout to Chinese businesses, Arab oil sheiks, Russian energy despots, and Washington insiders completely detached from reality. How can this administration pretend to care about ordinary Americans and then unleash an unconstitutional, executive power grab (my emphasis RT) that will kill 1.4 million American jobs and cost the average American family $800 per year? America should feed, fuel and fight for itself, and this hundred-page Washington mandate is an attack on self-reliance, hard work, and American energy independence.

Sincerely,

Mike Huckabee

Sen. Cruz said if we give Iran $100 billion in this deal, "America will become the #1 provider to terrorism in the entire world!"  Thus we will be aiding and abetting Iran to gain weapons of mass destruction, helping them achieve their goals of universal conquest much sooner .

"Jewish" Arsonist a Frameup? The long list of Arab Attacks over Shabbat following Demolition of Jewish Homes by the Gov't of Israel

bs"d

Arabs Name 'Jewish Arsonist' - but He's in Jail

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/198965#.VcBZCflVikp

Arabs claim they found the arsonist from Duma - except he has been in jail since last December; family plans to sue over dangerous framing.

'Rivlin Didn't Speak Out for My Murdered Baby': While President Reuven Rivlin spoke loudly against the attack in Duma last week, he hasn't been as vocal in other cases, said Adva Biton. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/198927#.VcBshflVikp

A pattern of Arab Violence surge following demolition of Jewish Homes in Judea and Samaria. http://shemittahrediscovered.blogspot.com/2015/07/a-protest-letter-to-knesset-members.html, and see long list below.  HaKol Hayehudi has compiled a list of 50 Arab terror attacks and riots over the weekend. This list is not complete…also followed by "staged?" Jewish price tag condemnations perhaps to psychologically justify the demolitions and demonize the settlers? 

Often there are reports of violent Jewish Price Tag payback by Jewish Settlers which are nothing less then a blood libel against the Hilltop Youth. Jewish Politicians rush to condemn these price tag attacks allegedly committed by Jews, and the innuendo is that they are probably settlement youth without a shred of real evidence. The damage is done even when no one is actually convicted.

How Many Children Have these Terrorists Murdered?

http://www.jewishpress.com/blogs/muqata/how-many-children-have-these-terrorists-murdered/2015/08/02/

Arab children killed by Jewish terrorists – 1 maybe 2

Muhammad Abu-Khdeir, age 16

Ali Saad Dawabsha, age 1 (Undetermined. Possibly by Jews. )

Israeli children (Jews and Arabs) killed by Arab terrorists – 177 Read post for complete list of names and ages of Jewish children killed by Arab terrorists. 

(No wonder President Rivlin or PM Netanyahu don't pay condolence visits. They simply don't have the time.)

History of settlers demonized:

Fwd: Call or Write Congresswoman Kathleen Rice and Say Thank You for Opposing the Iran Deal

Subject: Call or Write Congresswoman Kathleen Rice and Say Thank You for Opposing the Iran Deal
To:

 

 

American Friends of Ateret Cohanim / Jerusalem Chai Click to view this email in a browser Forward this message to a friend      Congresswoman Kathleen Rice  (D-NY) representing the 4th District of New York, has joined the bi-partsan movement to block the Obama/Kerry inspired Nuclear Arms Deal with Iran. She is one of the growing list of democrats to declare her opposition and break with her party's leader. She released the following statement on her website opposing the deal: "IRAN DEAL IS A RISK I CAN'T SUPPORT" - Today Kathleen announced her opposition to the final agreement with Iran. Click the link below to read her op-ed in the 5 Towns Jewish Times explaining the reasoning behind her decision. "This deal represents a pause, not an end, to Iran's quest for a nuclear weapon. While no deal or action – whether economic, diplomatic, or military – can ensure a disarmed Iran in perpetuity, this deal's search for peace seems too willing to gamble on social progress in Iran, especially when Iranian leaders show little interest in helping to foster it – and even less in becoming anything near a responsible ally in the region. Here, the President is displaying an admirable political vision and optimism, but I just don't trust the progress of that social experiment enough to pay the cost of this gamble's security risk. And the fact that sanctions can snap back into place if Iran cheats doesn't give me enough confidence to counter that risk. The sanctions we imposed on Iran that proved successful were only successful over time. No matter how quickly we can re-impose these measures in the event we catch Iran cheating, it will take years to recreate the economic pressure that we know influences their decision making. One of the biggest questions throughout this process has been whether outside inspectors will have the ability to tell if Iran is abiding by this deal. I'm skeptical that they will. The fact that Iran would not agree to "anywhere, anytime" access is troubling - and an apparent continuation of Iran's history of deception."   Please take 2 minutes to call Congresswoman Rice at 516-739-3008 and thank her for her leadership in standing strong, as she always has, in support of the safety and security of both the United States and Israel. You can also email her by clicking here.  This is a direct result of your efforts, and it should make you proud. But there is more work to be done. We hope this inspires you to work even harder to encourage our Senators and other Member of Congress to join her in opposing this Iran deal.   Sample text and phone message: "I am calling to thank Congresswoman Rice for opposing the Iran nuclear deal, and for her leadership in standing strong, as she always has, in support of the safety and security of both the United States and Israel."   Thank-you calls are every bit as important as calls urging a member to do the right thing.   The administration will be pulling out all the stops to get her to change.   Click here or the image above to sign the petition to contact other government representives see the links to AIPAC below   Senate and House Members can be reached through the Capitol switchboard Email your members of Congress Find your members of Congress Info/Questions grassroots@aipac.org     Background Information  After more than 20 months of negotiations, the United States and its negotiating partners announced a nuclear agreement with Iran. Throughout the negotiations, AIPAC outlined five critical criteria for a good deal. Unfortunately, the proposed agreement is fundamentally flawed in each of these vital areas. The Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015 established a procedure for congressional review of any nuclear agreement with Iran. Congress must now oppose this deal, which would leave Iran as a nuclear threshold state, thereby jeopardizing U.S. interests and posing an existential threat to Israel and other American allies. Please call or email your Members of Congress today and urge them to oppose this deal.  Contact Senator Chuck Schumer :  Email, click here   322 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510 Phone: (202) 224-6542 Fax:  (202) 228-3027 TDD:  (202) 224-0420.  He is critical in this process and needs to be convinced that siding with the President is a mistake. Phone Script for Other Members of Congress "I am calling to urge the senator/representative to oppose the Iran nuclear deal because it will not block Iran from getting a nuclear weapon." Talking Points  I have consistently supported diplomatic efforts to peacefully prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. I appreciate the hard work of the administration to reach a deal. Unfortunately, the proposed deal will let Iran become a threshold nuclear weapons state and will not guarantee international inspectors access to suspicious sites in Iran. Congress and the president have repeatedly said, "No deal is better than a bad deal." This is a bad deal. Congress must oppose this agreement, and urge the administration to negotiate a better deal that will truly prevent Iran from building a nuclear weapon.
