RUTHFULLY YOURS

When I see news of Syrian civilians being barrel-bombed by their government and others needlessly starving to death, it is clear that only Israel can pull this crazy world out of its spiraling descent into self-destruction.

In the last few weeks, floods of wounded Syrians have been seeking and receiving treatment in Israeli hospitals. A Christian group even rushed a Muslim Syrian Kurdish child from Iran-dominated Iraq to Israel, to repair the hole in her heart. At the IDF field hospital on the Syrian border, soldiers apply a core Jewish value: “Whoever saves one life, saves the entire world”. We then witnessed the surreal spectacle of Arabs on Al-Jazeera TV questioning as to why the Syrian army, Hezbollah and other Islamic military groups cannot be more humane like the Israeli army.

Every week the Jewish State gives hope to the sick and disadvantaged around the world. Just look at some of the latest medical discoveries and innovations from Israeli universities and bio-techs.
Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have just discovered a cure for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) – the 13th biggest killer in the Western world. They have patented low-level laser treatment to reduce inflammation and promote wound healing that will transform the lives of the 200,000 new patients diagnosed with AAA in the US each year. Still with the Hebrew U, researchers there have developed a peptide to counteract enzymes in high blood sugar that cause brain cell death – the reason why diabetics have a much higher risk of Alzheimer’s and dementia. And doctors throughout Africa are anxiously waiting for HUJ researchers to announce their solution to the malaria parasite. The deadly disease is responsible for more than one million deaths each year.

To which the response from most quarters is likely to be “Georges who?” Even in his native France, his centenary is passing largely unremarked. Yet in the days of Queen Victoria and Theodore Roosevelt, Picquart was a figure of global […]

http://atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/MID-01-050214.html More than coincidence accounts for the visit to Iran by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan on January 28, the same day that his economic policy collapsed in a most humiliating way. As the Turkish lira collapsed to levels that threatened to bankrupt many Turkish companies, the country’s central bank raised interest rates, ignoring […]

Kennan, the mysterious “Mr. X” who wrote the 1947 Foreign Affairs article that drew from the “Long Telegram,” which laid out a blueprint for American policy that prevailed until the end of Cold War. So does […]

The authorities still refuse to transfer him to a medical facility and are denying him the most basic medical care. We ask for intervention to save his life. Ayatollah […]

http://swtotd.blogspot.com/ In a vivid example of the pot calling the kettle black, California Democrat Henry Waxman said he would resign at the end of this year because of the “extremism of the Tea Party Republicans.” There are few in Congress whose actions have been more extreme than Mr. Waxman’s. He was a principal architect of […]

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2014/02/03/another-big-blow-to-the-iran-sanctions-bill//?print=1 The push for a new Iran sanctions bill may have stalled in the Senate, but it’s still alive and kicking in the House, where leaders are telling members such a measure could still be considered this year. Indeed, proponents of more sanctions appear to be clinging to the hope that if something passes the […]

In William Manchester’s superb biography of General Douglas MacArthur “American Caesar” there is a very apposite quote from General MacArthur in 1937 when he was confronted by a pacifist Congress:

“The history of failure in war can be summed up in two words….”Too Late:..Too late in comprehending the deadly purpose of a potential enemy: too late in realizing the mortal danger; too late in preparedness; too late in uniting all possible forces for resistance; too late in standing with one’s friends.”
