Pro-America Rally to Be Held Outside U.S. Embassy in Israel
A pro-America rally is scheduled to be held tomorrow outside the U.S.
embassy in Tel Aviv, Israel. The expression of support for America is
being organized by Im Tirzu Movement in order to "remind the United
States that Israel is America's best friend in the Middle East"
"In light of the attacks on the U.S. embassy in the Middle East, the anger directed at the American people and those facing the silence of Western forces against Western values, we decided to hold demonstration in support of the American people, called: 'ISRAEL SUPPORTS THE AMERICAN PEOPLE,'" the Israel group writes on its Facebook page.
"Particularly at this time when the radical Muslims burn U.S. embassies throughout the Middle East, it is important to remind the United States that there is only one country in the Middle East has shared values with the U.S.," the group writes, explaining the rationale for holding the rally. "There is only one country, supporting always and unconditionally in the U.S. - it is Israel."
Here are the details for the rally:

Despite Ridicule from the Left, Bibi’s Message on Iran Is Being Heard

Three reported events at week's end suggest that Netanyahu's message is being heard, and that Israel's Western allies are working in earnest to stop the Iran nuclear program without having to go to war over it.
Incidentally, that happened to be Netanyahu's message as well: he insisted that by drawing his now notorious red line at the point where Iran will be able to manufacture a viable nuclear device, this will prevent the need to go to war.
The logic behind the PM's argument is cogent, although, in the past, Hitler invaded both Czechoslovakia and Poland despite heaps of warnings and red lines issued by Western democracies. Inevitably, red lines must be backed by the readiness to spill red blood on their enforcement.

Why Be Jewish?
In the last days of his life Moses renews the covenant between God and
Israel. The entire book of Devarim has been an account of the covenant –
how it came about, what its terms and conditions are, why it is the
core of Israel’s identity as an am kadosh, a holy people, and so on. Now
comes the moment of renewal itself, a kind of national referendum as it
were.
Moses, however, is careful not to limit his words to those who are actually present. About to die, he wants to ensure that no future generation can say, “Moses made a covenant with our ancestors but not with us. We didn’t give our consent. We are not bound.” To preclude this he says these words:
As the commentators point out, the phrase “whoever is not here” cannot refer to Israelites alive at the time who happened to be somewhere else. That cannot be since the entire nation was assembled there. It can only mean “generations not yet born.” The covenant bound all Jews from that day to this. As the Talmud says: we are all mushba ve-omed me-har Sinai, foresworn from Sinai (Yoma 73b, Nedarim 8a). By agreeing to be God’s people, subject to God’s laws, our ancestors obligated us.

It is not with you alone that I am making this sworn covenant, but with whoever is standing here with us today before the Lord our God, and with whoever is not here with us today. (Deut. 29: 13-14)

Early American Awareness of Islamic Terrorism

The American founding fathers and early scholars – since the 18th century - were aware of deeply-rooted Islamic violence, terrorism, intolerance and hatred toward other Muslims, as well as non-Muslims.
Early American leaders and thinkers
were endowed with deep appreciation and unique knowledge of global
history, international relations, ancient cultures, ideologies and
religions. They spoke and wrote candidly about global threats, including the Islamic threat.
In 1830, New York University Prof. George Bush, the great-granduncle of G.H.W. Bush, considered one of the most profound American scholars of the mid-19th century, published The Life of Mohammed. He was not concerned about political correctness, was low on delusion and top heavy on realism. His 1830 reference to the Islamic threat was consistent with the 2012 state of intra-Muslim atrocities,
hate-education, tyranny, anti-US stormy Arab winter, intolerance of
criticism, global Islamic terrorism in general and suicide bombing in
particular.
According to Prof. Bush, ”[Mohammed] promised robes of silks, marble palaces, groves and fountains and beautiful virgins to those who fought for the faith…offering his enemies the alternative; the Koran or the sword…. It was inflamed by zeal for a religion which assured the soldier of victory now and paradise hereafter. The permanence of this religion is now apparently secured by education...in regions where freedom of thought is unknown (p. 155-6)…. Read More:

1. The US covenant with the Jewish State dates back to Columbus Day, which is celebrated around Sukkot (October 8). According to "Columbus Then and Now"
(Miles Davidson, 1997, p. 268), Columbus arrived in America on Friday
afternoon, October 12, 1492, the 21st day of the Jewish month of
Tishrey, the Jewish year 5235, the 7th day of Sukkot, Hoshaa'na' Rabbah, which is a day of universal deliverance and miracles. Hosha' (ΧΧΧ©Χ’) is the Hebrew word for “deliverance” and Na’ (Χ Χ) is the Hebrew word for "please." The numerical value of Na’ is 51, which corresponds to the celebration of Hoshaa'na' Rabbah on the 51st day following Moses' ascension to Mt. Sinai.
2. Sukkot is the 3rd Jewish holiday
– following Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur - in the month of Tishrey, the
most significant Jewish month. According to Judaism, the number 3
represents divine wisdom, stability, permanence, integration and peace.
3 is the total sum of the basic odd (1) and even (2) numbers. The 3rd day of the Creation was blessed twice; God appeared on Mt. Sinai on the 3rd day; there are 3 parts to the Bible, 3 Patriarchs, 3 pilgrimages to Jerusalem, etc. Read More:

Fear of Obama's Second Term Overblown
Former
Israeli Minister for Congressional Affairs in Washington, and a top
expert on relations with the U.S., Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger,
thinks Israeli fears of a hostile second term Obama presidency are
overblown.
In an interview with Arutz 7, Ettinger explained that contrary to popular perception, "The bottom line is that a second term president is always weaker than a first term president. This is true for all second term American presidents other than one – James Monroe.
A second term president becomes less and less relevant for both
chambers of Congress from the day of his reelection. This this was true
for Clinton's second term, Reagan's second term, as well as Nixon's,
Lyndon B. Johnson's, Eisenhower's etc."
"When
it comes to the possibility of President Obama winning reelection –
whatever he may try to do, he will need the support of Congress. If
Israel further cultivates its ties with the Legislature and leverages
the immense goodwill toward it on Capitol Hill, then Obama will be
severely constrained a far as any possible negative initiatives
Vis–a-Vis Israel."Read More:
