The Hashemites should relinquish any dreams of sovereignty over any part of Israel; in fact they should count themselves very lucky if they manage to maintain their rule over Jordan, where many of their subjects view them as occupiers. PHOTO: REUTERS On October 9, former crown prince of Jordan, Prince Hassan, told a group of Palestinians in Amman that “the West Bank is a part of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, which included both banks of the [Jordan] River.”

Hassan added that: “I hope that I do not live to see the day when Jordan, or the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, relinquishes the land occupied in 1967 by the IDF.”

As he runs for re-election, President Obama has tried to portray his foreign policy as a success. A closer look suggests a different picture.

Let us begin with a list of areas where US foreign policy has either stalled or suffered setbacks.

Encouraged by a perceived weakness on the part of the Obama administration, Russia has cast itself as an adversary, adopting an aggressive profile in regions of vital US interest. A clear signal in Moscow’s change of attitude has come with the installation of S400 missiles close to the Caspian Basin and of long-range missiles in Kaliningrad, the Russian enclave next to Poland.

Jewicidal Millionaire Activist Sides with Islamic Supremacist Smear Merchants Against Pro-Israel Ad

By Pamela Geller, ATLAS SHRUGS

The Washington Post continues to dig up these relics from the past, yesterday’s men, in their relentless sanction of jihad and sharia. Every week, they publish column after column by judenrat defending the jihad against the Jews, or worse, trolls for Khomeinists like Reza Aslan. But they refuse to run an oped from me or my colleague Robert Spencer.

Edgar M. Bronfman in this WaPo op-ed epitomizes what is wrong with the Jewish community in America today: reflexive, unthinking leftist political correctness, and a suicidal, Jewicidal willingness to throw fellow Jews under the bus in the naive and foolish hope of achieving an alliance with people who are committed supporters of the genocidal jihad against Israel.

Hizbullah’s support for Syria’s Assad has led to scathing Arab criticism of its leader, who, once Assad falls, will have to flee Lebanon to save his own life.

Dr. Mordechai Kedar, INN

An organization that calls itself “Arab Intellectuals United”, headed by a Palestinian Arab named Amar el Azam, has published a news release that calls for Hizbullah head Hassan Nasrallah to remove his forces from Syria immediately – and in particular, to get rid of the 1500 Hizbullah fighters that Azam claims are guarding President Bashar Assad.

New Arab party  will not be nationalistically Arab in its nature,

By Elad Benari, Canada

In a change of direction from the current situation, a new Arab party being formed for the upcoming elections will support the State of Israel and will not be nationalistically Arab in its nature, Channel 2 News reported on Friday.

According to the report, the members of the new party will be well-known public figures. It will likely be headed by Atef Qrenawi, a public figure from the city of Rahat in southern Israel, who is also a member of the Likud Central Committee and is responsible for reducing the gaps between the Arab and Jewish populations in the Ministry of Finance.

White House denies US, Iran agreed to one-on-one talks

National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor said: “It’s not true that the United States and Iran have agreed to one-on-one talks or any meeting after the American elections,”

That doesn’t mean that a tentative agreement hasn’t been arrived at requiring only that Obama sign off on it.

Stay tuned.

By QUIN HILLYER, AMERICAN SPECTATOR

Absolutely in line with what I predicted her just five days ago (this news is step one of what I expect to be a three-step process), Iran has agreed to direct “talks” with the Obama administration. I call BS on this. This is nothing other than an Iranian attempt to bolster Obama’s re-election chances. It is a cynical, dirty game being played by both Obama and Iran — the same Iran whose “Green Revolution” died when Obama refused to say even a single word in favor of the pro-Western reformers who gathered in the tens of thousands against Iranian repression and corruption.

“Two Jews, three opinions” goes the famous joke. And every day, more of those opinions turn pro-Romney, as American Jews increasingly reject the collapsing presidency of Barack Hussein Obama.

Romney’s surging poll numbers in the crucial state of Florida reflect his growing success with Bubbie Molly and her unemployed grandson Adam, who both thought their right hand would wither if it ever pulled the lever for a Republican.

Why kid ourselves? Undoubtedly, there is a certain connection between the upcoming elections and the government’s plans to adopt the Levy Report’s recommendations.

Before the polls open, Netanyahu is returning to the warm embrace of the Right. He kind of distanced himself from the Right over the past few years, but it is never too late to reconcile and go back home. In contrast to leftist rhetoric, Judea and Samaria is also home.

And yet, the Left should not get too angry. The Levy Report is not an annexation declaration. More than anything else, it rectifies a civil injustice, and, as we all know, civil rights is an issue that is very dear to our peace-seeking brothers. As long as we don’t enact a basic law stating that settlers are second-class citizens, they deserve to manage their assets like all other citizens. No more, no less.

Telling Israel like it is — in Arabic

A secular, liberal woman from the Galilee, Boshra Khalaila leaves passionate critics of Israel open-mouthed simply by describing the rights and freedoms she routinely enjoys

By PHILIPPE ASSOULINE, TOI

I first met Boshra Khalaila in the Spring of 2010, at the Ministry of Public Diplomacy’s offices in Jerusalem. She was 24 at the time. Like me, she’d been alarmed by the public relations debacle that followed the Gaza flotilla incident and had somehow found her way to the Ministry’s hastily set-up Potemkin village of a situation room, to volunteer her time and do damage control, in Arabic.

I next saw her last January at the first preparatory meeting for the Faces of Israel program, which I have previously written about. She had again volunteered to defend her country and taken time off work to drive from Jerusalem, where she lives, to Tel Aviv for the preparatory sessions, a ritual she would have to repeat often. I was sent to California as part of that program. Boshra’s destination was South Africa — during Israel Apartheid Week.
