Headline:        Living Prophecy – Israel Marks First National Aliyah Day

A massive yet low-profile exodus of a specific group of people has been taking place over the centuries and continues to the present day. The exodus has been from countries all over the world; their common destination the land of Israel. It’s commonly referred to as Aliyah – the return of Jews scattered across the world, and is considered a major fulfillment of end-time Bible prophecy. Israel celebrated its first Aliyah Day with a ceremony in Jerusalem last week. Earlier this year, the Aliyah Day law was passed to recognize the importance of immigration to Israel and its development as a multicultural society. The law designated Aliyah Day as the seventh day of the Hebrew month of Heshvan, coinciding with the reading of the Torah portion, which describes the divine commandment directing Abraham to go to the land of Israel. Immigrant Absorption Minister Sofa Landver, who immigrated to Israel 37 years ago, said she is “proud and excited that for the first time, Israel is marking a day commemorating immigration to Israel.” “All those immigrants, from the first wave of immigration to Israel to the fifth, from Operation Moses and Solomon to the new immigrants — they are all composed of the ingathering of exiles called the state of Israel,” she said. Israel is a country of eight million citizens, 40 percent of whom were born outside of the country. Over three million people immigrated to the Jewish state since its inception in 1948, coming from every corner of the globe–from the US to Mozambique.

“We’ll stand here like a bulwark!” Amona spokesman Avihai Boaron promised. Residents of the Amona outpost promised to resist any evacuation attempts, after the High Court of Justice rejected last-minute appeals for a delay and insisted that their hilltop community must be demolished by December 25. “We’ll stand here like a bulwark!” Amona spokesman Avihai Boaron promised at an emergency meeting the community’s 40 families held on Monday night, just hours after receiving the final word from the court. In the days to come, he said, a tent city would be put up for those who want to help the community resist the court decree. He appealed to Netanyahu to support a legislative solution, explaining that there 40 families in the outpost, including 200 children and teens.
“It’s up to you [Netanyahu] to save us or to sacrifice us,” he said. “Pass the bill and remove the sword of evacuation and transfer from over our heads,” Boaron said. He referenced the forced demotion that took place there in February 2006, when security forces carried out an HCJ ruling to demolish nine permanent homes in the outpost. “We won’t let Amona fall again,” he said.

Headline:        Palestinian U.N. Ambassador: We’ll Use ‘Weapons That We Have in U.N.’ If Trump Moves U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem

Palestinian Ambassador to the United Nations Riyad Mansour said Friday that if President-elect Donald Trump follows through on his campaign promise to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, then “nobody should blame us for unleashing all of the weapons that we have in the U.N. to defend ourselves, and we have a lot of weapons in the U.N.” Trump promised in March during a speech before the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) that, “We will move the U.S. embassy to the eternal capital of the Jewish people, Jerusalem.” Following a private meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu in September, his campaign wrote that Trump “acknowledged that Jerusalem has been the eternal capital of the Jewish People for over 3,000 years, and that the United States, under a Trump administration, will finally accept the long-standing Congressional mandate to recognize Jerusalem as the undivided capital of the State of Israel.”

Headline:    Jordan: Any Israeli decision on call to prayer “false, insignificant”

Any decision by the Israeli occupation authority on Jerusalem’s holy shrines, including a proposed ban on the call to prayer, is false and insignificant, said Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs undersecretary Abdullah Abbadi. “An occupier cannot make any historical change to the city it occupies, and things (must) remain the same without any change”, a fact that underlines that any Israeli decision on Jerusalem is false and insignificant for the city is under occupation”, he told Petra in a statement. Abbadi, who is also director of the department on Al Aqsa Mosque affairs, stressed that the azan, the five-times-a-day summons to prayer, from the loudspeakers of the Al Aqsa (mosque compound) in Jerusalem will remain forever. Representatives of Israel’s Knesset (parliament) have given their approval to the so-called “muezzin bill”, banning the use of loudspeakers for call to Muslim prayer. The right-wing government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has backed the notion, which is subject to a parliamentary vote.

Headline:         Hezbollah shows off tanks, missiles in Syria

Arab media has published pictures of the massive amounts of Hezbollah forces in Syria. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported on the show of force, as did various Hezbollah media outlets. The Shia terror group didn’t officially publish any of the pictures. Lebanese media outlets are struggling to understand the message Hezbollah is trying to send with these pictures, especially since the pictures weren’t published by the terror group itself. Meanwhile, commentators on various social media sites are claiming that some of the materiel – including tracked vehicles – seen in the pictures are US made and taken from the Lebanese military. The Syrian rebels were having a field day over the pictures, claiming that this was just further confirmation that Hezbollah are the ones who are really in charge in Syria, while the anti-Hezbollah March 14 coalition came out against the pictures, with one of the coalition leaders tweeting that the pictures “shatter all hope to restore the dignity and the image of the state.”

Egypt’s highest court of appeal has overturned death sentences against ousted President Mohammed Morsi and five other Muslim Brotherhood leaders. The Court of Cassation ordered that the six men face a retrial in connection with a mass prison break during the 2011 uprising against Hosni Mubarak. Twenty-one life sentences for other Brotherhood members were overturned. Morsi was elected president in 2012 but was removed by the military a year later after protests against his rule. Although he is no longer at risk of execution, Morsi is serving three lengthy prison sentences relating to other convictions.

Headline: While Assad bans aid deliveries, UN tells agencies to cut back Syria funding requests

The United Nations is quietly urging its agencies and non-governmental organizations operating in Syria to scale back their multibillion-dollar requests for aid for next year by more than 20 percent, according to an internal document examined by Fox News. The main reasons: acute donor fatigue, and an inability to actually deliver on the expanding wish list of projects to ease the plight of millions of suffering Syrians. The document also cites bans on delivering aid, either by ISIS militants or, more often, the Bashar Al-Assad dictatorship, that are, it states, now the “main impediment” to U.N. relief activities. The funding document suggests that, “considering these trends,” relief organizations aim for “a maximum of $2.5 billion,”  vs. this year’s $3.2 billion, for what is known as the Syria Humanitarian Relief Plan (HRP), a U.N.-coordinated appeal that would still likely be the world’s largest humanitarian relief operation next year. Reading between the lines, the document also is an adjustment to a chorus of internal and external complaints about U.N.-led relief efforts in Syria, which also may be reflected in the funding shortfalls that the document tries to address. It notes, for example, that a reduced funding appeal could lead  to “a more thorough and credible selection of projects” for Syria — where currently, some 390 relief projects with a collective price tag of about $1 billion are not funded at all. That is 74 percent of all the projects in the 2016 appeal, the document notes.

Headline:     Russia launches new offensive, airstrikes hit Syria’s Aleppo

Russia launched new strikes in Syria on Tuesday involving carrier-borne jets and long-range missiles as opposition activists on the ground reported that the first airstrikes in nearly a month struck the besieged, rebel-held parts of the northern Syrian city of Aleppo. According to activists, between four and 10 people were killed in the strikes on Aleppo, raising concerns of a return to daily deadly bombardment in Syria’s largest city. The Russian blitz began hours after Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President-elect Donald Trump discussed Syria over the phone and agreed on the need to combine efforts in the fight against what the Kremlin called their No. 1 enemy—”international terrorism and extremism.”

Headline:     Iraq’s Yazidi plot rise of rebuilt capital next to city devastated by ISIS

It’s been one year since ISIS was driven from the Iraqi city of Sinjar, but the Yazidis who called it their capital do not plan to rebuild, at least not in the same location. The black-clad jihadist army left mass graves and rubble in its wake, and now, from an abandoned home in Sinjar, also known as Shingal, Mayor Mahma Khalil is meeting with his top aides to plan a new city, next to the old one. “We will build an entirely new city, next to this town,” Khalil told FoxNews.com. “Economically, it is easier than to reconstruct. The infrastructure is destroyed. And there are too many bad memories here. Who wants to come back to these memories?” The city once stood proudly at the base of Mount Sinjar, bustling with activity and steeped in ancient tradition. Farmers’ markets, festivals and Yazidi temples for the persecuted religious minority that made up 83 percent of the township dotted the cityscape. After more than a year of ISIS occupation — and a fierce ground and aerial campaign to oust the terrorists — there is little worth saving in the city 43 miles west of Mosul, and once home to 152,000 people.

US armed forces and the CIA may have committed war crimes by torturing detainees in Afghanistan, the international criminal court’s chief prosecutor has said in a report, raising the possibility that American citizens could be indicted even though Washington has not joined the global court. “Members of US armed forces appear to have subjected at least 61 detained persons to torture, cruel treatment, outrages upon personal dignity on the territory of Afghanistan between 1 May 2003 and 31 December 2014,” according to the report issued by prosecutor Fatou Bensouda’s office on Monday. The report adds that CIA operatives may have subjected at least 27 detainees in Afghanistan, Poland, Romania and Lithuania to “torture, cruel treatment, outrages upon personal dignity and/or rape” between December 2002 and March 2008. Most of the alleged abuse happened in 2003-04, the report says.

The report further states that the accused persons were receiving instructions from leaders of the Oromo Liberation Front based in Kenya and Norway.

Japan has approved assigning its troops in South Sudan on non-combative support under U.N. peacekeeping operations, an additional mission that opponents say would risk of getting them embroiled in international fighting that Tokyo has renounced since the end of World War II. The task, approved Tuesday by the Cabinet, begins with a 350-troop South Sudan mission to be dispatched in three waves beginning Sunday, under Japan’s new security law enacted last year. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s government has been expanding Japan’s international military role, but opponents say the mission not only puts Japanese soldiers at greater risk but also violates Japan’s pacifist constitution.

Tunisian forces captured three large arms caches near the border with Libya over the weekend, including Kalashnikov rifles, rockets and landmines, the interior ministry said. The caches in the border city of Ben Guerdane will stoke Tunisia’s concerns about the threat of Islamist militants crossing over Libya, where pro-government forces are close to ending Islamic State’s hold on Sirte city. Islamic State, fighting to set up a Caliphate following its brand of Islam across North Africa and the Middle East, sent dozens of Islamic State fighters into Ben Guerdane in March, attacking army and police posts and killing at least 53 people. Many of the militants in Libya are originally from Tunisia, and the country’s young democracy since its 2011 uprising has been seen as a target for the hardline Islamist group.

Police shut down Broad at 3rd for more than an hour after a protester parked a “No DAPL” van in the intersection and then chained himself underneath the vehicle. Other protesters watching from the sidewalk began chanting “bring our troopers home” and “water is life” while Columbus police and firefighters worked to get the protester from out under the vehicle. Police brought in bomb-sniffing dogs as a precaution and after clearing the vehicle, worked to free the man using a special saw. Officers say the protester, identified as Peter Gibbons-Ballew, had a pipe handcuffed to him and locked himself to the van that way. They had to cut the van to get him out, and he still had the pipe locked to him when they left the scene. When police finally pulled Gibbons-Ballew out from under the vehicle, he began shouting “water is Life.” He was placed in a police van and is facing three misdemeanor charges, including inducing panic and resisting arrest.

Headline: Is Planned Parenthood affiliate fueling anti-Trump protests?

Headline: Watch: Anti-Trump protesters call for Intifada in America

The Craigslist ads read: “STOP TRUMP – up to $1500/week. Hiring immediately! Call Today Start tomorrow! $15-$18 hourly rate + bonus + overtime up to 77 hours per week!” They were placed by a Planned Parenthood affiliate in major cities like Boston, Denver, Columbus, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh right before the election to defeat the candidacy of Donald Trump. However, most of them are still active on Craigslist, fueling questions about whether the group is now among those feeding the post-election anti-Trump protests across the country. Many of the ads have Planned Parenthood Action, a PAC, emblazoned across the top and all of them list phone numbers belonging to the Community Outreach Group, a for-profit organization formed by Planned Parenthood as “a vendor of large-scale advocacy.” Protesting is among the tasks listed on its website. MoveOn.org and others already have been linked to the demonstrations. Protesters have been out on the streets since Wednesday and have been mostly peaceful. However, in some instances – like in the city of Portland – police used flash bombs last week to quell an angry mob that lit fires and smashed cars and store windows with bats. One protester was shot by a civilian. Planned Parenthood and Community Outreach Group have not returned phone calls seeking comment. Planned Parenthood, which received $553.7 million in tax dollars last year, had pledged to spend $30 million to defeat Trump, according to Rolling Stone. The money allegedly came from its super PAC, which “jointly” worked on the ground war, the magazine said. Former U.S. Sen. Scott Brown, R-Mass., told FoxNews.com that he wasn’t surprised to hear a possible protest connection to the non-profit women’s health organization.

Police said nine people were killed in clashes between Shi’ite Muslims and police during a religious procession in northern Nigeria on Monday, but the minority sect said dozens of its members lost their lives. The clashes occurred on the outskirts of Kano, a city in a state of the same name, as members of the country’s largest Shi’ite group, the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN), conducted an annual procession to Zaria in neighboring Kaduna state. It was the latest in a series of incidents involving the sect. A judicial inquiry in August reported that 347 IMN members were killed and buried in mass graves after clashes with the army in December 2015, and two sect members were killed in processions in Kaduna state last month. Kano state Police Commissioner Rabiu Yusuf told reporters that nine people died in Monday’s violence — eight IMN members and a policeman. He said several people were injured, including four police officers.

Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said the UK had successfully won over enough other countries to force the plans to be watered down. The policy win came as the US President Elect, Donald Trump, said countries should not expect protection from NATO if they do not meet defence spending targets. Mr Fallon said: “Instead of planning expensive new headquarters or dreaming of a European army, what Europe needs to do now is spend more on its own defence. That is the best possible approach to the Trump presidency. Britain meets the two per cent commitment, other European countries need to increase their own defence spending.” The Defence Secretary had previously warned Britain would veto any proposals that would threaten NATO until it begins the Brexit process. Mr Fallon described the conversation about the European Union army as “moving our way”. He added: “We’re avoiding a new military headquarters, the level of ambition seems to have been tempered.

Headline: Report: Global Internet Continues to Become Less Free

For the sixth year in a row, the global internet became less free as governments around the world re-doubled efforts to limit free expression, ban encryption technologies, and punish users for posting or sharing material deemed unacceptable by national authorities. Those are just a few of the findings of the annual “Freedom on the Net” report published by Freedom House, a pro-democracy think tank in Washington D.C. Freedom House researchers now estimate that just over two-thirds of all internet users in the world live in nations that actively restrict online activity and where users face harsh penalties for their posts, including prison and whippings. The survey of 65 nations determined that China, Iran, Syria and Ethiopia were the greatest abusers of internet freedoms, followed by Uzbekistan, Cuba, Vietnam and Saudi Arabia. Some nations, including North Korea which has a long record of flagrant human rights abuses, were not included. Among the nations that saw the biggest declines were Uganda, Bangladesh and Cambodia. Only 14 nations saw marginal improvements. Just three nations – China, India, and the U.S. – account for roughly 40 percent of all the world’s online users.

Headline:      Study: Obamacare Premiums to Increase 27%

A new study obtained by the Washington Free Beacon shows premium increases under Obamacare will actually be higher than the federal government’s projections. Obamacare premiums will increase by 27 percent next year, according to the center-right policy institute the American Action Forum. The Department of Health and Human Services announced last month that premiums would increase an average of 22 percent in 2017, with the health care law’s Silver plans rising to $296 per month. Premiums will increase as much as 145 percent in some states. The American Action Forum found that the average increase is likely to be higher than predicted because the agency did not factor in that nearly half of Obamacare plans no longer exist, forcing enrollees to switch to costlier plans. “In this study the American Action Forum finds that the cost of 2016 benchmark Silver plans will increase by an average of 27 percent in 2017 for a 27-year-old non-smoker,” writes Jonathan Keisling in the new report. “The lowest cost Bronze plan will increase by 22 percent in 2017.” The group said the government’s increase of 22 percent “can be misleading” because most of the 2017 Obamacare plans will be new. “Actual premium growth is likely worse than that as the 2016 benchmarks that still exist in 2017 will see a 27 percent increase,” the American Action Forum said. “Many of the 2016 benchmark plans no longer exist.”

Headline: Immunity for Saudi investments in US despite JASTA

Headline: Saudi Arabia warns Trump on blocking oil imports

Saudi investments in the United States will “enjoy” sovereign immunity and will not be affected by the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA), the official Saudi news agency reported on Monday. The Governor of the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency (SAMA) – the Saudi central bank – stressed that there would be no issues over the law on Saudi investments in the US and that there is no intention to end pegging of the national currency, the Saudi Riyal, to the Dollar or to change the rate of exchange. During a press conference for the annual report of SAMA that discussed domestic and global economic developments, Dr. Ahmed bin Abdul Karim Al-Khulaifi indicated that the national economy continued to grow positively in 2015, as it increased according to data of real GDP, by 3.5 percent. However, he stated that the economic growth was influenced by the oil market, developments in the global economy and the atmosphere in the region. Last month, JASTA lead to a global outcry with many stated joining in to denounce the act. Late September the Saudi foreign ministry said that the enactment of the US legislation allowing 9/11 victims to sue the kingdom would weaken sovereign immunity and leave a negative impact on all nations. A ministerial source said JASTA would contribute to the “erosion” of the principle of sovereign immunity, which has governed international relations for hundreds of years, read a statement on the state-run news agency.
