Nine other worshippers have been injured, including five who are critically wounded. The attack took place at the Kehilat Yaakov synagogue located in a religious study hall in the Har Nof neighbourhood in west Jerusalem.

Cousins, Uday and Ghassan Abu Jamal, members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine terror group, unleashed an attack on worshippers, armed with guns and knives, shouting 'Allahu Akbar', The Times of Israel  reported, citing witnesses. Two police officers then shot down the militants in an exchange of fire.

"We are viewing this as a terrorist attack," police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld was quoted saying by The Jerusalem Post. The incident has added to rising tensions as several attacks have been reported in Israel in the last few weeks.  (Mugdha Variyar in International Business Times Nov 18, 2004)

Palestinian media report that the two cousins who carried out the attack, Uday and Ghassan Abu Jamal, were members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine terror group.

Head of the 'Torat Moshe' Kollel (academy for advanced Torah study), Rabbi Moshe Twersky has been named as one of the four who was killed in this morning's terror attack at the Kehillat Bnai Torah Yeshiva Synagogue in Jerusalem's Har Nof neighborhood. The rabbi's funeral will take place at 2:00 p.m., starting from the Beit HaTalmud Yeshiva to the Har Hamenuhot cemetery.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu responded to this morning's terror attack in Jerusalem's Har Nof neighborhood saying, "This morning's murderous attack is a direct incitement at the hands of Hamas and (Mahmoud) Abbas, an incitement which has been continuously and irresponsibly ignored by the international community."

Netanyahu, who is due to enter a consultation on the security situation this afternoon, added, "We will respond harshly to the brutal murder of Jews who came to pray and were killed by vile murderers". (Arutz Sheva) 

Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman (Yisrael Beytenu) responded to this morning's Jerusalem terror attack, blaming incitement by Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas for the deadliest attack in the capital in years.

Why Hamas Wants To Join the PLO

Why Hamas Wants To Join the PLO by Khaled Abu Toameh in Hudson-NY

Hamas' Ismail Haniya shakes with
PA Pres. Mahmoud Abbas

Hamas's decision to join the PLO is seen by some Western analysts and governments as a sign that the Islamist movement is headed toward "moderation" and "pragmatism."

But in 2012, if the agreement with Abbas is implemented, Hamas will take control over the PLO.

Hamas is joining the PLO not because it has changed, but out of a desire to make the Fatah-dominated organization stick to its true mission: the liberation of Palestine from Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea -- in other words, all the land that is currently Israel -- and to achieve the "right of return" for Palestinian refugees to their original villages and homes inside Israel.

How long can Israel delay the jihadist, Palestinian nationalism juggernaut?

P.A. head, Mahmoud Abbas submitted an application for a sovereign and independent homeland, which he said contains a request for full member nation status in the UN based on the June 4, 1967 borders. He addressed the General Assembly.



Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu gave his own speech in his response, in which he called on Abbas to drop unilateral moves and return to the negotiating table.

“President Abbas, why don’t you join me?” said Netanyahu. “We have to stop negotiating about the negotiations. Let’s just get on with it. Let’s negotiate peace! Now we’re in the same city. We’re in the same building. So let’s meet here today, in the United Nations!”

Hamas’ Gaza Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh said that the PA should not beg for a state, adding that “liberation of Palestinian land” should come first.

He said that “what is happening at the United Nations harms the dignity of our Palestinian people,” particularly when there is no guarantee of the ‘right of return’ (the Arabs’ wish to have millions of so-called ‘Palestinian refugees’ - the descendants of Arabs who fled Israel before the 1948 Arab-Israeli war – to return to Israeli cities).  Israel National News

Land for 'peace' won't work without exchanging all Muslims from Israel to the proposed "State of Palestine" in exchange for their intended expelling of Jews from Judea and Samaria.

Prof. Abe Sion explains why it would be unsafe to trust irredentist Muslims to keep Israel safe from an Islamist Palestine ruled by Hamas. He cites Israel having ceded the Sinai Peninsula to Egypt in 1981- now at a defensive disadvantage from Islamist territorial aggression.

Is it time for unilateral Palestinian statehood? Explore Jewish and Muslim history, rights and intentions for Palestine, with Prof. Abraham Sion

Mahmoud Abbas & Benjamin Netanyahu last year (AP)

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that he was interested in meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in New York: "I call on the chairman of the Palestinian Authority to launch direct negotiations in New York and continue them in Jerusalem and Ramallah." Netanyahu added: "I am offering President Abbas the chance to launch peace negotiations instead of wasting time on futile unilateral steps." YNet.com

Abbas responded,"I will meet any Israeli official any time," said Abbas, though he added that “there is no use if there is nothing tangible." The Palestinian Authority's attempt to end-run the Palestinians' signed obligations to conduct direct negotiations with Israel (in accord with the 1993 Oslo Accords) and obtain "national" recognition by the Arab-dominated United Nations- warrants an re-examination of the history and legal status of Israel and the "Palestinian" nationalist movement- the West Bank and Gaza and their irredentist quest to reconquer Israel for the Muslim world.



Prof. Abraham Sion, who head the Center for Law and Mass-Media at the Ariel University Center of Samaria, delivered this address earlier this year at the request of the Zionist Organization of America, in Los Angeles, California. (Highlights are in the first 3 segments; the entire undivided speech is in the fourth segment).

Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, pays tribute to America on Independence Day; reminds Americans that Israel is "steadfast ally and friend" and that it is "American power (which) ultimately keeps the enemies of freedom at bay"

PM Netanyahu spoke on July 1st at the American Ambassador James Cunningham's residence in Israel in honor of U.S. Independence Day.

"Our (the Jewish people's) tragedy is that the U.S. did not dominate the first half of the 20th century. And what a difference the rise of America has made in rolling back totalitarian forces and standing up for liberty. And now, at the first half of the 21st century, the U.S. is still entrusted with the difficult task of defending freedom and defending peace. American power still ultimately keeps the enemies of freedom at bay. Netanyahu quotes Pres. Abraham Lincoln who remarked: "The United States is the last, best hope on earth."

He continued, "The intervening century and a half has confirmed that analysis. The Jewish State in particular owes a great debt of appreciation and gratitude to the United States. For decades, the U.S. has helped Israel meet the enormous challenges we face. It has helped us bear the heavy burdens of our defense. It has helped us feel secure enough to take risks for peace. It has helped us negotiate that peace and then make practical arrangements to cement it on the ground.

Israel, in turn, has proved to be America's steadfast ally. A friend and an ally. We fight common enemies. We uphold common values - deeply shared by our people and our societies."



Netanyhu calls upon Palestinian Pres. Abbas to meet him face to face to begin direct peace negotiations. "I am ready to meet him any time and any place."

On behalf of the citizens of Israel I wish you Mr Ambassador- Jim (Cunningham), Pres. Obama and the American people a wonderful Independence Day!"



This video shows last year's reception at the U.S. Embassy in Israel. It includes remarks from Ambassador Cunningham. "While our histories are different, America and Israel have much in common. Our shared values and commitment to democracy (and) the rule of law bind us together."

P.M. Netanyahu concluded, "A friendship anchored not in transitory interests, but in eternal values and timeless ideals. These common ideals of liberty and democracy are the foundation of the deep and enduring bond between the U.S. and Israel. Happy Independence Day, America, and may G-d continue to bless America and our profound friendship."

US House to Palestinians - 'Change Fatah Charter from 'liberating Israel' via terror. ZOA to Abbas: Fulfill Oslo promises to prove state-worthiness

76 members of the US House of Representatives co-sponsored a resolution (H.Res.758) “urging Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, who is also Chairman of his Fatah party, to officially abrogate the 10 articles in the Fatah Constitution that call for Israel 's destruction and terrorism against Israel , oppose any political solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and label Zionism as racism.”

The offending articles are:

(1) `Article (4): The Palestinian struggle is part and parcel of the world-wide struggle against Zionism, colonialism and international imperialism.';

(2) `Article (7): The Zionist Movement is racial, colonial and aggressive in ideology, goals, organization and method.';

(3) `Article (8): The Israeli existence in Palestine is a Zionist invasion with a colonial expansive base, and it is a natural ally to colonialism and international imperialism.';

(4) `Article (12): Complete liberation of Palestine , and eradication of Zionist economic, political, military and cultural existence.';

(5) `Article (17): Armed public revolution is the inevitable method to liberating Palestine. ';

(6) `Article (19): Armed struggle is a strategy and not a tactic, and the Palestinian Arab People's armed revolution is a decisive factor in the liberation fight and in uprooting the Zionist existence, and this struggle will not cease unless the Zionist state is demolished and Palestine is completely liberated.';

(7) `Article (22): Opposing any political solution offered as an alternative to demolishing the Zionist occupation in Palestine, as well as any project intended to liquidate the Palestinian case or impose any international mandate on its people.';

(8) `Article (23): Maintaining relations with Arab countries . . . with the provision that the armed struggle is not negatively affected.';

(9) `Article (24): Maintaining relations with all liberal forces supporting our just struggle in order to resist together Zionism and imperialism.'; and

(10) `Article (25): Convincing concerned countries in the world to prevent Jewish immigration to Palestine as a method of solving the problem.'

The resolution also “condemns the continuing existence of these articles as part of the Fatah Constitution.” The measure now has a total of 76 co-sponsors from both parties: 21 Democrats and 55 Republicans.

Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) National President Morton A. Klein said: “This Fatah Constitution is one that the President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, would proudly support. Why should Israel make concessions to the ruling Fatah when Fatah’s own Constitution calls for its destruction? If Abbas fails to condemn the Fatah Constitution or abrogate its clauses, then it will be crystal clear that he and Fatah are not the peace-desiring moderates they claim to be.

Concomitantly, Abbas must fulfill the Palestinians’ commitments under the signed Oslo and Roadmap agreements -- including arresting terrorists, confiscating terrorist weapons, and ending the incitement of hatred and murder in the PA-controlled media, mosques, schools, and youth camps.

It is clear that any Israeli concessions must come after, and in response to, these fundamental changes in Fatah, not the other way around.

Fatah is openly and doctrinally committed to terrorism and the destruction of Israel. The effort by so much of the media and diplomatic corps to present Fatah as 'moderate' shows a very troubling eagerness to ignore terrorist acts, public statements and even Fatah's own governing document in an attempt to continue a so-called 'peace process' with Palestinian entities that have no interest in peace.”

We urge the Bush administration and the incoming Obama administration to discontinue granting $700 million a year to the Palestinians in US taxpayer funds while this constitution exists and while their other peace agreement obligations remain unfulfilled. Abbas has consistently failed to implement long-standing Palestinian obligations under the Oslo agreements and the Roadmap peace plan to arrest and jail terrorists, close the bomb factories and end the incitement to hatred and murder in the PA-controlled media, mosques, schools and youth camps that feeds terrorism.

“As ZOA made clear in our full page NY Times ad on this issue: ‘President Bush said that we need to end terrorist states. We dare not create a new one in the Middle East'."

Insider leaks plans for Palestinian state

Secretive U.S.-backed discussion focuses on West Bank, Jerusalem as Checkpoints removed and Jewish settlements' defenses confiscated

Aaron Klein of WorldNetDaily reports: U.S.-backed negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians are expected to generate an agreement by the end of the year that would set up a Palestinian state in the West Bank and eastern sections of Jerusalem, according to a source who has participated in the talks.

According to the source who has been playing a role in the meetings, the two sides are drafting an agreement, to be signed by the end of the year, requiring Israel to evacuate most of the West Bank and certain eastern sections of Jerusalem.

The source said Israeli community blocks in the zones of Gush Etzion, Maale Adumin and Ariel would remain Israeli while most of the West Bank and parts of Jerusalem will be slated for a Palestinian state.

In contradiction to statements by Olmert, the status of sections of Jerusalem is being negotiated but the specifics of any agreed-upon Israeli withdrawal is as yet unclear, said the source.

"It is understood [Jerusalem] Arab neighborhoods would become part of a Palestinian state," the source said.

The source told WND both sides agreed Israel would retain Jerusalem's Pisgat Zeev neighborhood, which is located near large Arab communities. Many of those Arab towns were constructed illegally on property owned by the Jewish National Fund, a Jewish nonprofit that purchases property using Jewish donors funds for the stated purpose of Jewish settlement.

At the same time, Israel Today reports: Israeli authorities in recent weeks began seizing weapons issued to Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria (the so-called "West Bank") to protect them in case of Palestinian terrorist infiltrations into their communities.

The move comes at the same time that Israel, under US pressure, is fulfilling its latest security gesture to the Palestinian Authority by removing from Judea and Samaria tens of military checkpoints and roadblocks meant to hinder the movement of terrorists.

In a letter this week to the Israeli army commander in charge of the region encompassing Judea and Samaria, Dani Daya, who chairs the council of Jewish communities in the area, expressed shock and deep concern that "these steps are being carried out...at the same time that unprecedented steps are being taken to ease the security restrictions on Palestinians."

Daya and others suggested that the parallel moves appear to have been coordinated to purposely undermine the security of Jews living in Judea and Samaria as the government tries to accelerate plans to surrender the area to the Arabs.

Palestinian Terror Juggernaut Turns Against Own Kin; Fatah Faults al-Jazeera for Minimizing Hamas' Terror

Watch the in depth analysis from Israeli TV News which only DemoCast TV delivers. Eyewitness descriptions of nihilistic brutality begin from 4:50 min mark.

(English translation credit: Boni123)Look how Hamas and Fatah activists are giving orders to their people to shoot at anyone from the rival movement, and it doesn't matter if they are armed or civilians. And to think that with these animals Israel wants to do "peace", "peace" in this matter means: giving lands of Israel to its enemies so they could do to us what they do to themselves.


The karmic irony of Arafat's legacy being consumed in Gaza by the hate they bred by manipulating media goes one-better. Fatah today criticized al-Jazeera TV news:

RAMALLAH, West Bank (AFP) - A senior Palestinian official on Sunday accused pan-Arab Al-Jazeera television of favouring Hamas in its coverage of the battles between the Islamists and rival Fatah.

“Al-Jazeera is an accomplice in the crimes committed by the (Hamas) militias... against our people,” Yasser Abed Rabbo, secretary general of the executive committee of the Palestine Liberation Organisation, told Palestinian radio. “It has become a mouthpiece for these militias and has remained silent about their crimes,” said the close ally of Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas, the leader of Fatah.

Abed Rabbo accused the Qatar-based satellite channel of “encouraging the putschists’ crimes by covering these extreme terrorists and not covering their crimes.” He said the popular international broadcaster has given wide coverage to “isolated acts” committed by Fatah loyalists against Hamas in the West Bank and “marginal” coverage “to the atrocious crimes committed in the Gaza Strip.”

Who trained the media to overlook Palestinian terrorism?

Palestinians Fail to Protect Sensitive U.S. Intel Secrets - Captured by Islamists

DebkaFile reports that Hamas (and its Syrian and Iranian sponsors) have captured priceless Palestinian Authority intelligence archives in Gaza putsch.

"The Fatah-led general intelligence and security services caved in too fast to shred, wipe or burn documents, computer disks and archives. The entire collection fell into Hamas’ hands when they seized Palestinian Preventive Intelligence HQ at Tel Awa (henceforth Tel al-Islam) and the Palestinian General Intelligence center near Gaza port.

DEBKAfile’s intelligence sources say: Never before has a bonanza of Western intelligence secrets on this scale ever reached an implacably hostile Islamist terrorist gang. The US, British and Israeli intelligence services may have suffered their greatest debacle in the war on Islamist terror. It will take them many years to recover.

Hamas has taken possession of hundreds of thousands of documents cataloguing the clandestine operations of Western intelligence services in the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia and the oil emirates.

It is now the owner of complete archives of Palestinian undercover links with foreign intelligence services going back decades, with names of spies, political collaborators and double agents.

The documentation covers the secret ties Palestinian intelligence maintained from the 1970s, when Yasser Arafat was based in Lebanon, with the Americans, the British, the French, the Israelis and many others.

Most intelligence experts say Israel should have bombed the two buildings and destroyed their contents rather than letting them fall into the hands of an organization and country dedicated to its eclipse.

For Hamas, this booty is priceless – and not only as the repository of bombs for planting under Mahmoud Abbas and his cohorts. The Palestinian group’s Syrian and Iranian sponsors will pay a king’s ransom for this unique collection of explosive secrets hidden by many a Western intelligence agency and government.

Damascus and Tehran will be hugely empowered with the means to stay a jump ahead of American moves in the region and tools to sabotage US policies at any time. They will have a store of national secrets and compromising information to hold over the heads of Western leaders and officials, lists of undercover agents, and records of covert operations carried out by the Israeli Mossad, Shin Bet and Military Intelligence, CIA, British MI6 and other Western agencies.

Iran, Syria and Hamas will know the names of politicians, including Israelis, who worked secretly with Palestinians and their shady deals.

One intelligence expert said that the Gaza hoard left in enemy hands by Abbas and Mohammed Dahlan are the crown jewels compared with the Saddam Hussein’s intelligence archives.

In the Palestinian security service building, Hamas found computer hard disks covering years of undercover activity and a complete set of sophisticated wiretapping and surveillance equipment and sensors which the CIA and MI6 gave Mahmoud Abbas and his forces. It was all in perfect condition ready to switch on.

After the Nazi regime was defeated at the end of World War II and Eastern Germany fell in the 1990s, there were officials willing to make a desperate effort to destroy or hide their intelligence treasure. Palestinian intelligence officers did not burn a single page."

Muslim Infidel Apprehended at Arafat's Grave as Kahane-Killer & Worse

(The Binyamin Kahane family van that US-armed Khaled Shawish ambushed in late 2000). (photo courtesy kahane.org/gallery).

"Holy" warrior, Khaled Shawish, arrested by IDF engaging in ultimate act of infidelity at "holy" grave of Arafat.

An elite IDF unit arrested a senior commander of the Al Aksa Martyrs Brigade, Khaled Shawish, in Ramallah on Monday, the Jerusalem Post reported. Officials said that Shawish was behind dozens of attacks, including suicide bombings in Jerusalem as well as shooting attacks on roads in the Ramallah area. He was believed responsible for eight murders, and dozens of injuries.

Two of those killed Rabbi Binyamin Ze'ev Kahane, son of Rabbi Meir Kahane, and his wife Talia, both U.S. citizens in December 2000. Five of their children were seriously wounded.

Shawish, deputy to Ramallah-area commander of Arafat's Force 17, Mahmoud Damra, also organized the murder on October 30, 2000 of U.S. citizen Esh-Kodesh Gilmore. According to a report in Haaretz, Shawish was personally involved in the shooting of the Kahane family. For seven years Shawish, 36, evaded arrest by Israeli security forces, making him one of the most wanted figures in the West Bank. But on Monday afternoon a joint IDF, Police Counter-Terrorism and Shin Bet operation led a Special Forces team to arrest him in his car in Ramallah. He was armed but reportedly indisposed.

World Net Daily reports that "According to Israeli security officials and Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades sources in Ramallah, Shawish was arrested after the Israeli police stormed his jeep, which was parked in a lot outside the Muqata, about 200 feet from Arafat's grave.

The sources said at the time of his arrest, Shawish was having intercourse in the back seat of his jeep with a Palestinian woman," who was not his wife. The WND report added that "The Brigades, founded by Arafat, largely considers the late PLO leader's resting place to be a sacred site. " http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=55901

According to Israeli and Palestinian security sources, Shawish, as a member of Force 17, received US training in 1997 at an American managed military base in the West Bank city of Jericho. The base continues to train Force 17 members. Multiple other Brigades members who also double as Force 17 officers previously received US training.

The US in recent months reportedly transferred large quantities of weapons to Fatah, purportedly to back Abbas' military organizations in recent deadly clashes against Hamas.
The last confirmed US weapons transfer to the Palestinians took place last May and consisted of 3,000 assault rifles, but WND reported multiple other transfers later were delivered to Fatah, including a cache of 7,000 rifles last January and about 8,000 assault rifles in February.
