Palestinians Under Fire in Syria, but Arab League Condemns Israel
CNS News
The Arab League on Monday slammed Israel for various activities in Jerusalem purportedly harmful to Palestinian aspirations, and it also announced an “emergency meeting” would take place in Qatar next week to discuss Palestinian plans to seek U.N. recognition in September.
But the top representative body of the world’s 22 Arab states had nothing to say about – and called no meeting to discuss – the Syrian military’s latest assault against anti-government protestors, an attack that reportedly included the shelling of a Palestinian refugee camp in the Mediterranean port city of Latakia.
Chris Gunness, a spokesman for the U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), said up to 10,000 Palestinian residents of the Ramel camp in Latakia had fled the violence, which included “heavy fire from gunboats.”
“We call on the Syrian authorities to order their security forces to exercise utmost restraint in accordance with international law and ensure that all civilians including Palestinian refugees are unharmed,” he said in a statement.

Israeli navy seizes Gaza-bound yacht
Reuters
The Israeli navy on Tuesday seized a French yacht carrying pro-Palestinian activists intending to sail to the blockaded Gaza Strip and forced it to go to Israel's Ashdod port, a military spokeswoman said.
There were no reports of violence as the marines boarded the "Dignite-AlKarama" yacht in the eastern Mediterranean, she said.
"I can confirm that the yacht has been boarded and that everything went smoothly, there were no casualties," the spokeswoman said.
Chief military spokesman Brigadier-General Yoav Mordechai said the passengers were transferred from the small yacht to one of the warships and were sailing to Ashdod.
The 17-passenger yacht had declared an Egyptian port as its destination when it left Greek waters on Sunday but then said it was changing course toward the Palestinian enclave and hoped to arrive by Tuesday afternoon.

British Muslims Urged to Reject Democracy, Embrace Shari’a-Ruled ‘Emirates’
CNS News
A British Islamic group known for its provocative publicity stunts says a borough in northeast London will be the first target of a campaign to establish “emirates” in the country – Muslim enclaves where shari’a law is enforced.
Waltham Forest, an area identified in the most recent census figures available as having the fifth-biggest proportion of Muslims – 15 percent – of any local authority in England or Wales, has been singled out by radicals behind the group calling itself Muslims Against Crusades (MAC).
“As part of our Islamic Emirate Project, Waltham Forest is to be the first borough to be targeted for an intense shari’a led campaign, introducing the prospect of Islamic law for the Muslim community to abide by,” MAC said in a statement this week.
The project aims to “gradually transform Muslim communities into Islamic Emirates operating under shari’a law,” the group said.

Administration Urges a Reluctant Congress to Continue Funding the Palestinian Government
CNS News
Facing strong bipartisan support in Congress for defunding a Palestinian government that includes the terrorist group Hamas, the Obama administration on Tuesday stressed the importance of continuing the funding, arguing that the Fatah-Hamas power-sharing deal has changed nothing on the ground.
Testifying before the House Foreign Affairs subcommittee on the Middle East and South Asia, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Jacob Walles said Palestinian Authority and Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas and P.A. Prime Minister Salam Fayyad remained committed to a peaceful settlement with Israel and “deserve our continued support.”

Analyst: Obama's actions against Israel intentional
OneNewsNow
A political analyst and former U.S. congressman says Barack Obama continues to be confused about who America's real enemies are.
Recently Politico reported that the United States has decided to formally resume contact with Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, a group that does not formally recognize Israel. The report says that decision could further alienate some Jewish voters already skeptical about the president.
Bob Beauprez is a former Colorado congressman who publishes an online column called "A Line of Sight."
"They seem to have a real state of confusion over who's our friends and who's our enemies," says Beauprez. "Muslim Brotherhood isn't just a radical terrorist organization, they're the original radical Islamic terrorist organization -- and like most all of the rest, [it] denies the right for Israel to exist."
Bob BeauprezBeauprez says Obama has launched what he calls a "one-two punch" on the Jewish state.
"Just a few weeks ago Barack Obama punched them in the gut when he endorsed the idea of returning to the 1967 borders, which Netanyahu correctly said are indefensible. Now weeks later, he smacks them right between the eyes with this news that the Obama administration is going to open dialogue with the Muslim Brotherhood," explains the analyst.
Beauprez says he believes it has to be intentional that Obama wants to perpetually make friends with the enemies of freedom, but continually turns his back on Israel.

Flotilla a 'stunt' and nothing else
OneNewsNow
A pro-Israel advocacy organization says the flotilla about to set sail from Athens with 34 Americans onboard is a "hypocritical and dangerous publicity stunt."
The ship Audacity of Hope is part of an international fleet of ships carrying anti-Israeli activists and will sail to the Gaza Strip to offer humanitarian aid. Commentators say the flotilla is a guise to challenge Israel's naval blockade of an area controlled by Hamas.
StandWithUs is a Los Angeles-based education and advocacy group. Roz Rothstein is the group's co-founder and CEO. "[To] the person who says this is a pro-Palestinian boat, I would say no, it's an anti-Israel boat -- that's all it is," she states. "They are trying to make Israel look bad...that's their goal."

Greece officially bans flotilla ships from departing
Jerusalem Post
'Audacity of Hope' organizers say Greek authorities approach ship shortly after leaving port; unclear how moves will affect overall flotilla plans.
The Greek Ministry of Citizen Protection on Friday issued a statement saying that the Minister, C. Papoutsis, decided to prohibit the departure of ships flying either Greek or foreign flags "to the maritime area" of Gaza.
"By orders of the Hellenic Coast Guard Head Quarters to all local Hellenic Coast Guard Authorities, all appropriate measures are taken for the implementation of the said decision,"| the statement said
The statement said that the "broader maritime area of eastern Mediterranean will be continuously monitored by electronic means for tracking, where applicable, the movements of the ships allegedly participating" in the Gaza flotilla.

Anti-Semitic Apple app axed
OneNewsNow
Apple CEO Steve Jobs has agreed to the request of an Israeli official to pull an iPad app that encourages anti-Semitism.
Yuli-Yoel Edelstein, Israel's minister of public diplomacy and Diaspora affairs, wrote a letter to Jobs, asking him to take action against an app that called for a "third intifada." The app, which was also compatible with iPhones, encouraged Muslims to violently attack Israel.
"Any promotion of hate or violence should always be removed," contends Gary Ratner, senior development professional for StandWithUs. "iPad users should always assist to ensure that this is the case."
The organization that created the app also launched a Facebook group earlier this year that was removed when the social networking site discovered the group's purpose.

Obama warns of new US tactical spats with Israel
Breitbart
President Barack Obama warned that new "tactical" disagreements loomed between Israel and Washington, but vowed to leverage his administration's "creative powers" in the cause of peace.
Obama, who has had a testy relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, spoke at length on the stalled peace process at a fundraiser for his 2012 reelection campaign grouping Democratic friends of Israel.
He said that as a difficult, challenging time loomed in the Middle East over the next few years, one inviolable principle was that the bond between the United States and Israel "isn't breakable."
"What is also going to be true is that both the United States and Israel are going to have to look at this new landscape with fresh eyes," Obama said, arguing the Arab Spring had changed the context of regional diplomacy.

Syria warns of more marches on Israeli border
Associated Press
A Syrian government newspaper says marches to the border will continue and warns Israel the day will come when thousands of Syrians will return to their occupied villages.
Israeli forces opened fire on Palestinian and Syrian protesters Sunday, killing as many as 23 people who tried to cross into the Israeli-occupied Syrian Golan Heights.
The Tishreen newspaper said the march was only an "introduction" adding Syrians and Palestinians were now determined to recover their territory through resistance.

Palestinians test tactic of unarmed mass marches
Associated Press
Palestinian activists are calling it a preview of new tactics to pressure Israel and win world support for statehood: Masses of marchers, galvanized by the Arab Spring and brought together by Facebook, descending on borders and military posts — and daring Israeli soldiers to shoot.
It could prove more problematic for Israel than the suicide bombings and other deadly violence of the past — which the current Palestinian Authority leadership feels only tainted their cause.
After attempted border breaches from Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Gaza left 15 Palestinians dead Sunday, Israeli officials openly puzzled over how to handle an unfamiliar new phase.

Muslim Brotherhood urges review of Israel ties
Financial Times.com
The Muslim Brotherhood opposition group in Egypt has called for a review of the 1978 peace treaty between Egypt and Israel and says it should be resubmitted to a “freely elected” parliament for approval.
Regarded as the best-organised political group in Egypt, the Brotherhood is poised to play an influential role in politics in the country after the fall of the regime of Hosni Mubarak, the former president.
Egypt is due to hold parliamentary elections in September and the group is likely to emerge with the largest bloc in the assembly. It said this week that its candidates would compete for half the seats in parliament.
The Brotherhood, banned for most of its 80-year history, has begun to set up a political party to be named the Freedom and Justice party.

U.S. aiding Hamas-Fatah alliance
OneNewsNow
A conservative activist and former presidential candidate finds it disturbing that Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas has agreed to reconcile with the terrorist group, Hamas.
In a ceremony at the Egyptian intelligence headquarters in Cairo, rival Palestinian factions Fatah and Hamas recently proclaimed a landmark Egyptian-mediated reconciliation pact to end their four-year rift and provide for the creation of a joint caretaker Palestinian government before next year's national elections.
Gary Bauer 2 (American Values)"It's yet another in a string of very disturbing developments, not only for the security of Israel but for the position of the United States in the Middle East," warns Gary Bauer, president of American Values and chairman of the Campaign for Working Families.
But Bauer is encouraged that members of both parties are calling for the U.S. to cut its aid to the Palestinians.
"Under U.S. law, no organization can receive money that has failed to officially renounce terror, and Hamas certainly fits into that category," the American Values president notes. "So when Fatah and Hamas joined in this way, I think you have a situation where continuing to give aid would be a clear violation of U.S. law."

You Got Bin Laden, Now Get Out of the Region, Islamists Tell U.S.
CNS News
Now that it has achieved its goal of killing Osama bin Laden, the United States should withdraw its armed forces from Afghanistan and the broader region. That’s the message being sent by Islamists from Pakistan, Egypt, and the Iranian government.
“If according to U.S. President Obama, America has achieved its target and killed its enemy number one, the U.S. has no justification to stay here any more,” Munawar Hasan, leader of the Pakistani Islamist party Jamaat-e-Islami, told a press conference called in Lahore on Monday to respond to the news that the al-Qaeda terrorist leader was dead.
Hasan expressed doubt that the U.S. would withdraw from the region, however, accusing it of only being interested in its “rich natural resources.”

Egypt gas pipeline to Israel and Jordan explodes
BBC News
A pipeline carrying gas from Egypt to Israel and Jordan has exploded after an attack by an armed gang in the north Sinai area of Egypt.
A tower of flames shot into the air and forced the pipeline to be shut down, Egyptian security officials say.
It is the second such attack in a month on the pipeline, south of the town of el-Arish, just 30 miles (50km) from the border with Israel.
On that occasion, when gunmen planted explosives, they failed to detonate.
"An unknown armed gang attacked the gas pipeline," an unnamed security source told Reuters, adding that the flow of gas to Israel and Jordan had been hit.

Egyptians Cool Toward U.S.; Want to Scrap Peace Treaty With Israel
CNS News
A new survey of Egyptians’ attitudes two months after President Hosni Mubarak’s departure depicts a society in which the Muslim Brotherhood is broadly popular, the United States is not, and more than half the country would like to scrap Egypt’s peace treaty with Israel.
Muslim respondents in the poll, conducted by the Pew Research Center, were almost equally divided between those who say they agree with Islamic fundamentalists (31 percent) and those who say they do not (30 percent).
Sixty-two percent said Egypt’s laws should strictly follow the teachings of the Qur’an, while only five percent said laws should not be influenced by Qur’anic teachings. Another 27 percent favored another option – that laws should follow the values and principles of Islam but should not strictly follow the teachings of the Qur’an.

Shutting down sharia in U.S.
OneNewsNow
A California-based constitutional attorney has joined a group in urging state legislatures across the U.S. to pass a law to prevent sharia law from transcending the nation's criminal law.
Karen Lugo, an attorney based in southern California, serves as The Federalist Society's expert on sharia law and was recently appointed to the California Advisory Committee's Commission on Civil Rights. She reports that 25 of the 50 U.S. states have taken it upon themselves to stand up for constitutional freedoms through legislation and court cases, as many state legislators are concerned about a recent ruling from a judge in New Jersey.
"A judge ruled that a former husband was not guilty of rape or violating his former wife's rights when he had harassed her through the period of a separation because the man acted according to what he perceived as his sharia right," Lugo explains.

Iron Dome intercepts first rocket
Ynet News
Residents in Ashkelon reported Thursday seeing Israel's new Iron Dome defense system intercept a Grad rocket fired towards the southern city from the Gaza Strip. IDF officials called the interception a "historical moment", saying it was the first of its kind in the world.
Two intercepting missiles were fired at the rocket, but the first succeeded in hitting it, an army official said.
Eyewitnesses told Ynet they saw the rocket explode in midair and realized that the system had intercepted its first rocket.

Obama strongly defends US military action in Libya
Associated Press
Defending the first war launched on his watch, President Barack Obama declared Monday night the United States intervened in Libya to prevent a slaughter of civilians that would have stained the world's conscience and "been a betrayal of who we are." Yet he ruled out targeting Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, warning that trying to oust him militarily would be a costly mistake.
Obama announced that NATO would take command over the entire Libya operation on Wednesday, keeping his pledge to get the U.S. out of the lead but offering no estimate on when the conflict might end.
He never described the U.S.-led military campaign as a "war" and gave no details on its costs, but he offered an expansive case for why he believed it was in the national interest of the United States and allies to act.

Terrorist attack in Jerusalem
Associated Press
Israeli police are blaming Palestinian terrorists for a bomb attack at a crowded bus stop in central Jerusalem. The blast occurred near the main entrance to Jerusalem and was heard throughout the city. At least one person is dead.
Yitzhak Aharonovich, Israel's minister of public security, says terrorists planted the one-kilogram (2-pound) device in a bag on the sidewalk. The blast blew out the windows of two crowded buses. Rescuers were removing bloodied people from the area on stretchers.
Authorities say about 25 people were wounded, several critically, in Wednesday's attack. State-run Israel Radio says a woman has died from the blast.
