GIDON BEN-ZVI: BILL PRESENTED TO ISRAELI PARLIAMENT TO ANNEX THE JORDAN VALLEY

http://www.algemeiner.com/2013/12/27/knesset-member-proposes-bill-that-would-annex-the-jordan-valley-forever/#

In response to the continuation of negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, despite the recent escalation of terrorist activities in Judea and Samaria, Knesset Member Moti Yogev (Jewish Home) has presented a bill for Israel to annex the Jordan Valley, Israeli daily Ma’ariv reported on Friday.

Yogev’s bill has the support of MKs from right-wing parties, partners in Israel’s governing coalition, and even members of the left-leaning opposition.

An excerpt from the bill reads as follows: “Over the course of years, a consensus has built around the Jordan Valley with respect to its importance to Israel,” Ma’ariv reports. In an apparent appeal to Israel’s political opposition, the bill asserts that the first, “…valley communities were established by the labor movement… any future political settlement must include the Jordan Valley remaining under Israeli sovereignty.”

According to MK Yogev, “Israel should decide to exercise dominion over this vast region, whose Palestinian [Arab] population is sparse, and openly state that the Jordan Valley will remain under Israeli sovereignty forever.”

A MESSAGE FROM JOHN REDWOOD M.P.: EUROPE WILL BE OUTPACED BY AMERICA AND ASIA

Forecasts reveal growing irrelevance of Europe to the progress of the world economy. China’s population will grow to be more than twice that of Europe’s and India’s will be more than 2.4 times. Europe will make its position worse by continuing with high energy prices, relatively high taxes, and an excess of poor regulation http://www.thecommentator.com/article/4514/why_europe_will_be_outpaced_by_asia_and_america […]

ALAN CARUBA: AMERICA A CHRISTIAN NATION

  http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/america-a-christian-nation It is a great regret that arrogant atheists attack Christmas at this time of year and that too many institutions from schools to stores feel intimidated enough to remove mention of it. It is one thing to deny the existence of God, but the attacks are intended to undermine the faith of millions […]

America’s Bright Fuel Future Faces a Hostile White House by WILLIAM C. TRIPLETT II

http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/americas-bright-fuel-future-faces-a-hostile-white-house?f=puball The International Energy Agency (IEA) made a mistake. Formed in 1974 at the behest of Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and headquartered in Paris, the IEA was designed to be the organization for energy-consuming countries, countering OPEC, the organization representing the producers. It never really had much of a political role, and these days, […]

A New “Animal Farm” Targets Capitalism By Mark Tapson

http://www.frontpagemag.com/2013/mark-tapson/a-new-animal-farm-targets-capitalism/print/ Actor Andy Serkis is set to direct an upcoming movie adaptation of George Orwell’s classic novel Animal Farm. But there will be a slight deviation from the story’s original focus: rather than serve as a cautionary tale about Communist totalitarianism, this updated version will address Hollywood’s predictable, go-to embodiment of evil, the Darth Vader […]

DANIEL GREENFIELD: LYNCHING FREE SPEECH

http://www.frontpagemag.com/2013/dgreenfield/lynching-free-speech/ The end of free speech will not necessarily come when there are soldiers in the streets, secret police in the alleyways and a mustachioed man screaming at you on a television set that can’t be turned off no matter how hard you turn the knob or click the buttons. Some of these things existed […]
