MK OREN: “OBAMA BROUGHT RADICAL MUSLIM VALUES INTO THE WHITE HOUSE: Michael Oren, former Israeli Ambassador to the United States and current member of the Israeli Knesset spoke Saturday, 28 Nov. 2015, in Beer Sheva against Barack Obama. Oren claimed that it is the first time that “radical Muslim values have entered the White House.” Oren referred to the tensions between President Obama and PM Bibi Netanyahu, stating that “Obama’s worldview would have been problematic to any Israeli government, including a leftist government.” Oren also stated that “Obama never would use the term ‘radical Islam’ because it defines who belongs to this world.” In June 2015, Oren wrote a harsh Wall Street Journal article in which he accused Obama of deliberately causing the deterioration in the relationship between the United States and Israel. Oren clarified that he did not believe the USA President was anti-Israeli but that he was too strict with Israel whenever it came to the diplomatic issue. Oren asserted, among other things, that “Mr. Obama voided President Bush’s commitment to include the major settlement blocs and Jewish Jerusalem within Israel’s borders in any peace agreement. Instead, he insisted on a total freeze of Israeli construction in those areas. (Matzav)

HAMAS: FIRST JUDEA & SAMARIA, THEN THE REST OF ‘PALESTINE’: Hamas plans to “liberate” Judea and Samaria first, and then the rest of “Palestine,” the group’s deputy leader Ismail Haniyeh declared on Sunday, 15 Nov. 2015. Speaking to the Palestine news sources, Haniyeh outlined his desired strategy for the destruction of Israel through the “Al-Quds Intifada,” which is what Hamas is calling the current terror wave against Israel. First and foremost, he called for a conference in Gaza of the interim leadership of the Palestine Liberation Organization in order develop the intifada (uprising). The inifada is the best way to achieve statehood, claimed Haniyeh, and in order to achieve that, leadership that is coordinated on the field must be established, and an agreement on the goals of the intifada must be reached. Those goals, according to Haniyeh, are: The “liberation” of Gaza, Judea and Samaria, Jerusalem and the terrorist prisoners being held in Israel, and then a plan on how to liberate the rest of “Palestine.” Haniyeh reiterated that Hamas will not recognize Israel and will not agree to an alternative homeland.

FRANCE HITS ISIS ‘CAPITAL’ IN SYRIA:
French warplanes 15 November, 2015, pounded the city of Raqa, the ISIS group's self-proclaimed “capital” in Syria, destroying a command post and a training camp, the defense ministry said. In its first air strike against ISIS since the string of deadly Paris attacks claimed by the jihadist group, 12 warplanes, including 10 fighter bombers, dropped 20 bombs on the targets. The planes left from Jordan and the United Arab Emirates and was conducted in coordination with American forces. French President Francois Hollande blamed the ISIS group for the gun and suicide attacks that left at least 129 dead in Paris on Friday, 13 November 2015, calling them an "act of war." And later, French PM Manuel Valls said that his country needed to scale up military operations in Syria in order to “annihilate” ISIS. “The enemy is ISIS,” said Valls. (Arutz-7)

JONATHAN POLLARD IS FREE: Longtime prisoner Jonathan Pollard left the Federal Correction Complex in Butner, North Carolina, after 30 years of being held on espionage charges, his wife Esther announced at 11 a.m. Friday, 20 Nov. 2015. Esther and a number of Pollard's closest confidantes were waiting to greet Pollard as he first tasted freedom; from there they set off for New York to begin their lives anew. In New York, a probation officer will be assigned to Pollard by the USA Department of Justice, and will inspect to make sure the 61-year-old stays within all of the limitations placed on him. Any excursion beyond the immediate area of his residence will require the approval of the probation officer. He will likewise be forbidden from flying to Israel. Pollard, who was arrested on charges of spying for the Jewish state in 1985 was later sentenced to life in prison. He has been suffering from poor health and has become the subject of a high-profile campaign for his release. Once Pollard's release was granted, controversy remained over the conditions of his parole, after Obama refused to intervene to allow him to return home to Israel before a 5-year limit has expired. (Arutz-7) Pollard was imprisoned for 30 years for having passed information to Israel about terrorist activity. His prison term has been viewed by many as glaringly harsh. He was sentenced to life in prison on one charge of passing classified information to a friendly nation, a crime generally punished with a 2 to 4-year prison term. Please pray for Pollard’s health, which is deteriorating. Pray for his adjustment to a new life after decades of being in prison. Seven of those years were spent in excruciating solitary confinement. Intercede also, that Pollard and his wife may be able to make their home in Israel soon, in spite of the present 5-year limit, preventing him from leaving the USA.

"The European Union announced it has approved what it described as "the Interpretative Notice on indication of origin of goods from the territories occupied by Israel since June 1967." A commission spokesman said they would simply "ensure the uniform application of the rules concerning the indication of origin of Israeli settlement products. The aim is to ensure effective implementation of existing EU legislation." However, Israel's Foreign Ministry said "There is no doubt that the main purpose of the measure is to exert political pressure upon Israel...these measures are discriminatory in nature. It is intolerable that Israel is the only country that has been singled out by the EU for such a policy, despite the fact that there are over 200 disputed territories worldwide." They "constitute an attempt to prejudge the outcome of future negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians. Worse, they could serve as an additional incentive for the PA to eschew direct negotiations with Israel." ICEJ News

Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas continued his diplomatic offensive against Israel at the United Nations General Assembly, leveling a wide range of accusations against the Jewish state and calling for international protection. But amidst all the usual bluster, many observers missed a subtle, yet crucial, theme within Abbas's speech: That far from the "moderate" image he has cultivated, he views all of Israel as "occupied" and illegitimate, and aspires to the destruction of the country in its entirety. At one point, in comments broadcast live on PA TV and highlighted by Palestinian Media Watch (PMW), Abbas referred to Israel's "67-year occupation" - referring not to the "West Bank" (Judea and Samaria), but to the very founding of the State of Israel in 1948. "Mr. President, ladies and gentlemen, haven't you wondered: For how long will this protracted Israeli occupation of our land last? After 67 years (i.e., Israel's creation), how long? Do you think it can last, and that it benefits the Palestinian people?" Abbas asked. Arutz7News

It was recently revealed that Israeli special forces carried out a daring operation to rescue the last Jewish family in the Syrian city of Aleppo. The Jewish Chronicle reports that preparation for the mission began months in advance. First an Israeli-American businessman named Moti Kahana sent a message to the family, whose name has not been released, that he wanted to get them out of the war-torn country. "Despite the constant dangers in Syria, though, the family was too afraid to even take the chance on escaping.
Kahana, who has a number of connections with rebel forces, soon heard reports that ISIS was closing in on the family and decided to get them out, whether they liked it or not.
Without revealing precisely how or with whom he coordinated his plans, Kahana set the wheels in motion for the IDF to make another tally in its history of saving stranded Jews, a list that already made its mark in Yemen and Ethiopia. Once the time came, three soldiers knocked on the family's front door. The 88-year-old matriarch answered, fearing that Assad's soldiers had come to take them all away. Instead, the soldiers ordered the seven people present that they could each take one bag and that they must get into a waiting minibus. After the minibus began moving, the soldiers handed out Syrian passports and said that they would soon be free. The vehicle was stopped at an ISIS checkpoint, but the family was able to convince the guard that they were refugees trying to escape from Assad. The guard was so impressed by their claims that he even called other checkpoints, instructing them to let the minibus through. It took them 36 hours to cross the hundred kilometers to the Turkish border. Once out of Syria, they drove to a rented home in Istanbul, where Kahana was waiting." Arutz7 News
Please pray that any Jews remaining in Syria are also rescued and brought to Israel

A prayer for Israel: "As you would agree with us in prayer for the enemy to be bound and gagged until the appointed time, please also pray that the Body in the Land and the nations would redeem the time God would grant us. Without this second part, holding things back will only catch us more off guard. May we come into line with reality…give up our vain hope of life going on as usual… present ourselves as living sacrifices and invest our all in what is of eternal value." Arnie Klein

Deuteronomy 9:3 "Therefore understand today that the LORD your God is He who goes over before you as a consuming fire. He will destroy them and bring them down before you;
"The politcal leaders of the world continue to pressure the Israeli government to bow down to the demonic dictates of the Muslims. For the sake of your nation your leaders need to be made aware that The Creator of the universe, YHVH, is a God of incomprehensible power. In Deuteronomy 8:3 and Hebrews 12:29 the Bible warns us that He is a "consuming fire". He also introduces Himself many times as the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and hundreds of other times as The God of Israel. And as the God of Israel surely He must protect and defend His land and the Jewish people. We also read that many times He warns the nations who come against Israel that they will feel the heat of His wrath, and that they will pay a high price for touching the APPLE of His eye." David Silver/ Out of Zion
Joel 3:1-4 "For behold, in those days and at that time, when I bring back the captives of Judah and Jerusalem, I will also gather all nations, and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; and I will enter into judgment with them there on account of My people, My heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations; they have also divided up My land. "Indeed, what have you to do with Me, O Tyre and Sidon, and all the coasts of Philistia? Will you retaliate against Me? But if you retaliate against Me, swiftly and speedily I will return your retaliation upon your own head (NKJ)

Saudi Arabian prince and media mogul al-Waleed bin Talal has said that his state must consider forging a “defense pact” with Tel Aviv in order to stop Iran from getting involved in the unfolding Middle East crisis, according to Kuwaiti Al Qabas Daily.
Prince al-Waleed was quoted as saying, “The whole Middle East dispute is tantamount to matter of life and death for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia from my vantage point, and I know that Iranians seek to unseat the Saudi regime by playing the Palestinian card. Hence, to foil their plots, Saudi Arabia and Israel must bolster their relations and form a united front to stymie Tehran’s ambitious agenda.”

A class-action lawsuit against Facebook is accusing the social media platform of ignoring widespread Palestinian posts calling for violence against Jews. In the suit filed Monday in New York State Supreme Court in Brooklyn, the 20,000 Israeli plaintiffs claim the Facebook posts have inspired many recent terror attacks and that Facebooks algorithms and platform connects inciters to terrorists who are further encouraged to perpetrate stabbings and other violence attacks against Israelis. According to a news release issued by the plaintiffs, many recent assailants were motivated to commit their heinous crimes by incitement to murder they read on Facebook demagogues and leaders exhorting their followers to slaughter the Jews, and offering instruction as to the best manner to do so, including even anatomical charts showing the best places to stab a human being.
The suit alleges that Facebook has a legal and moral obligation to block much of this content but that it chooses not to. The plaintiffs are seeking an injunction against Facebook requiring the social network to immediately remove all pages, groups and posts containing incitement to murder Jews; to actively monitor its website for such incitement that all incitement is immediately removed prior to being disseminated to masses of terrorists and would-be terrorists; and to cease serving as matchmaker between terrorists, terrorist organizations, and those who incite others to commit terrorism. The complaint does not seek monetary damages against Facebook.
The lead plaintiff, Richard Lakin, 76, died of his wounds Tuesday after he was shot and stabbed by Palestinian terrorists while riding on a crowded Jerusalem bus on October 13. Two other Israelis were killed and more than 20 were wounded in the attack. In a news release issued by her organization, Darshan-Leitner said, Facebook wields tremendous power and this publicly traded company needs to utilize it in a way that ensures that Palestinian extremists who are calling to stab Israelis and glorifying the terrorist that do, are not permitted to do it on its platform.
