| JERUSALEM - The Obama administration has asked the Palestinian Authority to halt talks on a unity government with Hamas, according to a senior PA official. The official said the White House fears a unity government with the Islamist group would make it difficult for the U.S. and European Union to support the unilateral declaration of a Palestinian state in the United Nations. The information is the latest indicator Obama will not veto the controversial U.N. resolution, which would recognize... [More] |

| This is the saddest Easter in the long epic of Arab Christianity: The cross is near extinction in the lands of it origin. The much-vaunted diversity of the Middle East is going to be reduced to the flat monotony of a single religion, Islam, and to a handful of languages. In 1919, the Egyptian revolution adopted a green flag with the crescent and the cross. Both Muslims and Christians participated in the nationalist revolution against British colonialism. Now, according to the Egyptian Federation for...[More] |
| Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, addressing crowds gathered on Monday in honor of Iran's Army Day, stated that "the era of Zionism and capitalism has passed away." Discussing the unrest sweeping Middle East and North Africa, Ahmadinejad pointed the finger of blame at the United States, accusing US President Barack Obama and his government of conspiring to create a rift between Iran and other Arab nations. Last week, Ahmadinejad said that the world would see a new Middle...[More] |
| New IDF project uses trees to obscure Gaza targets. Terrorists fire during Passover holiday. Gaza terrorists have fired 328 times this year. The Israeli army has come up with a natural answer to protect civilians from terrorists in Gaza trying to target them with guided missiles: they are planting trees to block the line of sight required for attacks. Operation "Forest Security" is intended to help prevent attacks like the April 7 guided anti-tank missile that hit a school bus in southern Israel as it was dropping...[More] |
| Radical Islamic terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip distanced themselves from thekidnapping and murder of Italian activist Vittorio Arrigoni, who was found dead early Friday morning in the Strip. Among the groups who disclaimed the attack was Tawhid wal-Jihad, the al-Qaida-linked group that had initially said it was holding the Italian national and said they would only release him if their own leader, recently arrested by Hamas, was released, Gaza-based newspaper Palestine Today reported...[More] |
| Commander of Iran's ground forces Brig.-Gen. Ahmad Reza Pourdastan on Tuesday equated military action against his country with suicide, according to the Fars News Agency. "Today no enemy has the requirements and the desire to carry out a military attack against the powerful Iran," Pourdastan said, "and military aggression against Iran is highly unlikely and even impossible and is synonymous with the suicide of the aggressor." Pourdastan was speaking at a meeting of foreign military...[More] |
| Israel's Vacciguard introduces a unique biotech system to develop immunizations against some of the world's deadliest maladies, from cancer to CMV, and West Nile virus. The notion of a vaccine for cancer - or for many other deadly diseases nearly impossible to control, let alone cure - may seem to be no more than wishful thinking. But that is exactly what Israeli biomed startup Vacciguard is introducing: A technology tool for developing vaccines against a wide range of diseases from cancer to...[More] |
