JERUSALEM, ISRAEL - Arabs in Jerusalem attacking Jews on a regular basis reveal 'no peaceful solutions' exist, and jail time will not check their violence. Mohammed (20) told them after his recent four month stint behind bars for his role in the violence that he would not be stopped from returning to terrorism. "It's an intifada, there are no peaceful solutions”

TEMPLE MOUNT, JERUSALEM, ISRAEL – Limited Temple Mount access for Muslims, none for Jews on Friday as top Sunni group denounces 'barbaric' closure to stop terrorism. Israeli police folded to a chorus of international criticism on Thursday evening and decided to reopen the Temple Mount on Friday - for Muslims only, not for Jews. "It was decided to restore (the compound) to normal," police spokeswoman Luba Samri told AFP. Police had ordered the temporary closure of the Temple Mount on Thursday so as to calm the tension following the assassination attempt on Temple Mount activist Yehuda Glick. Despite access on Thursday being closed to both Jews and Muslims, Muslims reportedly were allowed on the Mount anyway before rioting and being dispersed.

JERUSALEM, ISRAEL – MK Ayelet Shaked (Jewish Home) on Thursday called on the government to announce new regulations regarding Jewish prayers on the Temple Mount, as a response to the shooting of leading Temple Mount activist Yehuda Glick. Speaking to Arutz Sheva, Shaked said that Glick is an example of a human rights activist who conducts himself in a democratic manner, and criticized many of the leading Israeli media outlets that chose to describe Glick as an “extremist right-wing activist”. "Yehuda would always ascend the Temple Mount without provocation. I hope the police will come around and let him hold tours on the Temple Mount, and that the Prime Minister will come to his senses and approve the regulations on visiting times to the Temple Mount, so that the Jews can continue to visit and pray there,” she said.

TEMPLE MOUNT, JERUSALEM, ISRAEL – The horrific shooting of Yehuda Glick, Executive Director of LIBAH, and one of Israel’s foremost activists on behalf of Jewish civil rights for access and prayer on the Temple Mount, is shocking but not surprising. The orientation of the Police, treating Jewish visitors as un-indicted criminals, while allowing for brazen, aggressive and threatening behavior by Arab men and women on the Mount, has created the background for inevitable violence and bloodshed.

USA - This week, the world was treated to yet another embarrassing display of the Obama administration’s incompetent foreign policy. This is an unprecedented attack on a critical ally of the United States at a moment of international crisis. It is a de facto admission to the mullahs in Tehran that the Obama administration thinks it is too late to prevent them from acquiring nuclear weapons. It is an inexcusable betrayal of the national security of the American people. Do the Democrats agree with what Obama administration officials are saying about Israel and its leaders? Do they also concede that a nuclear Iran is inevitable? These questions should be asked — and answered — before Americans head to the polls next Tuesday.

USA - Sometimes it feels like what's happening now, at any given moment, is bigger, more important, worse, and more dangerous than before. Luckily, that often turns out to be incorrect: Today's news is tomorrow's hazy memory, and what once seemed like an existential threat is now nothing more than an unpleasant recollection. It sure seems like there are frightening events happening everywhere today — from ISIS to Ebola, Russian imperialism to Chinese saber-rattling, climate change to congressional dysfunction. But is it really worse, or will this, too, pass?

USA - The Obama administration's anger is "red-hot" over Israel's settlement policies, and the Netanyahu government openly expresses contempt for Obama's understanding of the Middle East. Profound changes in the relationship may be coming.

USA - The majority of US citizens, according to a Google Consumer Survey, think the US gives too much aid to Israel: Today 6 in 10 Americans believe the US gives too much aid to Israel. The policy and political implications of this finding are stark. Elected officials passing ever larger aid packages and supplemental spending for Israel simply cannot claim they are representing the majority interests of their constituents. American presidents proclaiming the US‐Israel bond is “unbreakable” cannot claim such a bond is willingly underwritten by US taxpayers. The finding also shines yet more light on Israel lobby organizations as the major factor coming between most constituents and their representatives and quietly working to ensure that Israel’s majority share of the US foreign aid budget continues.

USA - Apple Inc CEO Tim Cook on Thursday became the most prominent American corporate leader to come out as gay, saying he was trading his closely guarded privacy for the chance to help move civil rights forward.

USA - First we were told that Ebola wouldn't come to America. Then we were promised the best way to keep Ebola out of America was to eliminate quarantines and travel restrictions. Now, to the astonishment of nearly everyone, the US government is planning to deliberately transport Ebola-infected foreigners to the United States for treatment in US hospitals. Taxpayers will foot the bill, estimated at half a million dollars per patient.

JERUSALEM, ISRAEL - Bayit Yehudi Minister Uri Ariel on Wednesday night indicated that the shooting of a prominent right-wing Israeli activist in Jerusalem was motivated by nationalism. "I am praying for the full recovery of Yehuda Glick. The bullets fired at him tonight were directed at all the Jews that want to exercise their Jewish and moral right to visit the most holy place to the Jewish people and to pray at the Temple Mount," he said."I call on the prime minister to immediately allow every Jew to freely go to the Temple Mount, and to act with an iron fist against the criminals responsible for this deed," the minister charged.

UK - A top Bank of England (BoE) official warns widespread financial crime in the City of London is eroding public trust. The BoE’s criticism surfaced as it launched a review to tackle market manipulation. In her first public address since adopting the position of BoE Deputy Governor, Nemet Minouche Shafik denounced the actions of UK traders in foreign exchange, currencies and bonds markets, warning financial misconduct in these sectors goes well beyond a few rogue financiers.

USA - A trend seen by prolife activists that frequently engage college students on campuses nationwide is the growing acceptance of post-birth abortion, or killing the infant after he or she is born, campus prolife outreach leaders tell The College Fix. Anecdotal evidence by leaders of prolife groups such as Created Equal and Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust said in interviews that not only do they see more college students willing to say they support post-birth abortion, but some students even suggest children up to 4 or 5-years-old can also be killed, because they are not yet “self aware.” “We encounter people who think it is morally acceptable to kill babies after birth on a regular basis at almost every campus we visit,” said Mark Harrington, director of Created Equal. “While this viewpoint is still seen as shocking by most people, it is becoming increasingly popular.”

USA - The US Federal Reserve has finally brought its “QE3” asset purchase programme to an end, weaning America off one of the most radical monetary policy experiments in history. The central bank said that America’s labour market had made “solid gains” in recent months, and that the world’s largest economy was now strong enough to do without quantitative easing, which has swelled the US's balance sheet by $1.66 trillion over the past two years to more than $4.48 trillion. “The committee judges that there has been a substantial improvement in the outlook for the labour market since the inception of its current asset purchase programme,” the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) said. “Moreover, the committee continues to see sufficient underlying strength in the broader economy to support ongoing progress toward maximum employment in a context of price stability.”

USA - The Federal Reserve has ended its asset purchasing programme. It is a quiet end to one of the most radical monetary policy experiments in modern times. Since the financial crisis, the world's biggest central bank has embarked on an unprecedented programme of asset purchases that has resulted in its balance sheet growing to more than $4.48 trillion.
