Jewish Third Temple is going to be rebuilt
Headline: Holy Altar constructed for 3rd Jewish Temple
The Temple Institute in Jerusalem has announced that it has finished building an altar suitable for the Temple service. The altar, which took several years to build, can be operational at little more than a moment’s notice, reported Matzav Haruach magazine. The Temple Institute is committed to preparing all the necessary clothing and tools for the rebuilt Holy Temple in Jerusalem. In addition, the institute operates an educational center for visitors and a preparatory training program for members of the priestly family who wish to be ready to serve as soon as the Temple is rebuilt. The altar is a central component to the Biblical sacrificial service. In fact, there were separate altars for the incense and for other sacrifices. The larger altar sat in the outer courtyard of the Tabernacle, and later the Temple. It was approximately five meters (16 feet) tall and 16 meters (52.5 feet) wide, with four “horns”, or raised corners, and a ramp. The altar prepared by the Temple Institute, under the direction of architect Rabbi Shmuel Balsam, follows this requirement. It is constructed instead from bricks fired at roughly 1,000 degrees Celsius (1,832 degrees Fahrenheit), to withstand the immense heat of the Temple’s eternal flame and the weight of the sacrificial animals. Its measurements conform to the interpretation of Maimonides. What makes the altar so unique is that it can be disassembled and reassembled easily, allowing it to be transported quickly and efficiently from its current location, on display at the institute, to the Temple Mount when the time comes. It was inaugurated in December 2014 and is now ready for use.

Headline: IAF jets scrambled in North after Syrian warplanes spotted near Lebanon border
Israel Air Force fighter jets were scrambled in the skies over the North on Saturday morning after higher-than-usual movement of Syrian aircraft was detected near the Syrian-Lebanese border. The government of President Bashar Assad has used aircraft in its efforts to quell a rebellion launched by a coalition of secular and religious Sunnis seeking to install a new regime in Damascus. Israeli warplanes often fly sorties over southern Lebanon. Lebanese press has been known to report that Israeli air force jets are visible in the Beka’a valley.
The IAF flyovers come against the backdrop of increasing tensions between Israel and Hezbollah following last week’s attack in the Golan Heights against a convoy of Hezbollah and Iranian military personnel.

Headline: Netanyahu says no Palestinian state if re-elected
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, trailing in opinion polls, told Israeli voters on Monday that a Palestinian state will not be established if he is reelected and promised that he would build thousands of settler homes in Arab east Jerusalem. In an interview published Monday, Netanyahu told the daily Maariv newspaper that withdrawing from occupied areas to make way for a Palestinian state would only ensure that territory will be taken over by Islamic extremists. When asked if that means a Palestinian state will not be established if he is elected, Netanyahu said “indeed.” In a separate occasion, while speaking on a whistle-stop tour of Har Homa, a contentious settlement neighborhood of annexed east Jerusalem, Netanyahu vowed he would never allow the Palestinians to establish a capital in the city’s eastern sector. “I won’t let that happen. My friends and I in Likud will preserve the unity of Jerusalem,” he said of his ruling rightwing party, vowing to prevent any future division of the city by building thousands of new settler homes. “We will continue to build in Jerusalem, we will add thousands of housing units, and in the face of all the (international) pressure, we will persist and continue to develop our eternal capital,” he added.

On Friday, the embassy warned that Western oil workers could be the target of militant attacks. It said it had information that “individuals associated with a terrorist organisation” could be targeting people working in the oil-rich Eastern Province.

Headline: Saudis Say: Whatever Iran Gets, We Want the Same
A senior Saudi prince told the BBC Monday that if Iran is granted the right to enrich uranium – Saudi Arabia will demand the same right. “I’ve always said whatever comes out of these talks, we will want the same,” said Prince Turki al-Faisal, who has previously served as head of Saudi intelligence and Riyadh’s ambassador to Washington and London. While he is no longer a government official, al-Faisal’s words are widely understood as representing the views of the Al Saud ruling family. “So if Iran has the ability to enrich uranium to whatever level, it’s not just Saudi Arabia that’s going to ask for that,” stated. “The whole world will be an open door to go that route without any inhibition, and that’s my main objection to this P5+1 [the six world powers] process.” US Secretary of state John Kerry and his Iranian counterpart, Mohammad Javad Zarif, have resumed nuclear talks in the Swiss city of Lausanne to try to narrow the gaps before a March 31 deadline set for a framework agreement on Iran’s nuclear program, and a June 30 deadline for a final accord.

Headline: Egypt unveils plans to build new capital east of Cairo
The Egyptian government has announced plans to build a new capital to the east of the present one, Cairo. Housing Minister Mostafa Madbouly said the project would cost $45bn (£30bn) and take five to seven years to complete. He said the aim was to ease congestion and overpopulation in Cairo over the next 40 years. The announcement was made at an investment conference that aims to revive the Egyptian economy. The gathering, in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, has attracted pledges worth $12bn (£8bn) in aid and investment from Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Mr Madbouly said the population of greater Cairo, estimated at about 18 million, was expected to double within 40 years. The Egyptian parliament and its government departments and ministries, as well as foreign embassies, would move to the new metropolis, he said. “We are talking about a world capital,” he added.

Syria Headline: Regime forces hit Damascus countryside, 20 civilians reported dead
At least 20 people were killed and hundreds others wounded on Sunday after pro-Syrian regime warplanes bombarded the residential neighborhoods in the city of Duma in the eastern Ghouta of Damascus, locals reported. Medical sources from field hospitals in the city reported that victims included women and children, adding that the airstrikes caused a mass destruction of several residential buildings. “Attempts to drag the dead bodies from the rubble continued,” said a member of the medical staff in Duma field hospital. “There were more than 150 wounded in critical conditions, amid a severe shortage of medical supplies due to the blockade imposed by the Syrian regime forces on the entire Eastern Ghouta,” the source told ARA News under the condition of anonymity. Speaking to ARA News in Duma, Mahmoud Fadel, a fighter in the ranks of the Army of Islam (linked to the Free Syrian Army “FSA”), said that the Syrian regime used vacuum-bombs during the airstrikes. “The regime committs massacres against civilians while the international community remains watching!”

Iraq Headline: Former Iraqi Dictator’s Tomb Levelled in Fighting for Tikrit
Iraq Headline: Tikrit Offensive On Hold So Civilians Can Flee
The tomb of Iraq’s former dictator Saddam Hussein was virtually leveled in heavy clashes between the Islamic State (ISIS) group and Iraqi forces in a fight for control of the city of Tikrit, The Associated Press (AP) reported on Sunday. Fighting intensified to the north and south of Saddam Hussein’s hometown Sunday as Iraqi security forces vowed to reach the center of Tikrit within 48 hours, the news agency said. AP video from the village of Ouja, just south of Tikrit, shows all that remains of Hussein’s once-lavish tomb are the support columns that held up the roof. As well, poster-sized pictures of Saddam, which once covered the mausoleum, are now nowhere to be seen amid the mountains of concrete rubble. Instead, Shiite militia flags and photos of militia leaders mark the predominantly Sunni village, including that of Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani, the powerful Iranian general advising Iraqi Shiite militias on the battlefield. “This is one of the areas where ISIS militants massed the most because Saddam’s grave is here,” Captain Yasser Nu’ma, an official with the Shiite militias, was quoted as having said. “The ISIS militants’ set an ambush for us by planting bombs around” the tomb, he added.

Headline: ISIS Vows To ‘Blow Up The White House, Big Ben And The Eiffel Tower’
En route to conquering the European cities of Paris and Rome, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria says they plan to “blow up” the White House, Big Ben and the Eiffel Tower. ISIS spokesman Abu Muhammad al-Adnani detailed the terror group’s plans to conquer Portugal, Spain, Paris and Rome in an almost 30-minute audio message to the West, “So They Kill And Are Killed,” which references a Koran verse. “We won the day Europe and U.S. dreamt of reclaiming Tal Hamis, Mosul, Sinjar, Tikrit, Qaim, Derna, Tell Abyad, and more,” stated the ISIS mouthpiece, as transcribed by Ynet News. “We — with Allah’s help — want Paris, before Rome and Islamic Iberia and after we blow up the White House, Big Ben, and the Eiffel Tower before Paris, and Rome,” al-Adnani warned. “The Muslims will return to power, to be the vanguard and lead in every place.” The Islamic State’s al-Adnani gave Jews and Christians the ultimatum that they could either “convert to Islam or pay the ultimate price when you armies are expelled from Muhammad’s peninsula, from Jerusalem, and all Muslim lands,” Ynet news translated. He warned Christians and Jews they would soon be unable to stop the jihadi advance to the caliphate, saying, “The Jews and the Crusaders are scared and weak.”

Russian leader Vladimir Putin, in a pre-filmed interview, has said he was ready to use nuclear weapons if the West had tried to stop him seizing Crimea. He made the comment in a documentary, “Crimea. The Path to the Motherland”, aired on Russian state TV on Sunday (15 March). When asked if he would have put his nuclear arsenal on alert, he responded: “We were ready to do that … That’s why I think no one wanted to start a world conflict”. He said he also deployed high-tech coastal defence missiles, which can be seen from space, to deter outside intervention. He added that he warned his Western counterparts he is prepared to go to war: “I spoke to colleagues and I told them that this is our historic territory, Russian people live there, they are in danger and we can’t abandon them. What do you want to fight for? You don’t know? We know. And we’re ready for that”. The film also revealed that he sent Russian special forces to the Ukrainian peninsula prior to its so-called referendum on independence, which took place on 16 March last year. His remarks are not the first instance of nuclear sabre-rattling in the crisis.

Headline: Iran confronts US at nuke talks over GOP letter
An overwhelming majority of 260 out of 290 Iranian parliament members passed a proposal designed to strengthen the regime’s policy regarding the nuclear talks with world powers, with three important clauses contained in the document. The first clause demands a removal of all sanctions against Iran that were imposed by the United Nations (UN) Security Council, as part of implementing a nuclear deal. In the second clause, the Iranian parliament called for a preservation of Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and rights to develop nuclear power according to article 4 of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). Finally – and most significantly – the proposal delineates that if any of the obligations of the nuclear deal are breached, the deal will be considered null and void, and Iran will restart its uranium enrichment to the “level required by Iran’s needs.” Iran has been demanding to have 190,000 centrifuges, an amount allowing it to produce a full nuclear arsenal within weeks.

Afghanistan’s Ministry of Defense says a military operation in the country’s south has killed a militant commander who pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group. A ministry statement says Hafiz Wahidi and nine of his men were killed in the operation in Sangin district on Monday. Sangin is in the southern Helmand province, a Taliban heartland. The statement said Wahidi was the nephew and a successor to Abdul Rauf Khadim, a former Taliban commander who switched allegiance and aligned his followers with the Islamic State group, which is fighting in Iraq and Syria. Khadim, who had set up an IS recruiting network across southern Afghanistan, was killed in drone strike last month. Officials have voiced concern about the IS presence in Afghanistan though the group’s real strength here is unknown.

Fighting has been raging in Libya between Islamic State (IS) fighters and a militia alliance from the west of the country, near the city of Sirte. A spokesman for militia brigades told the BBC that two of their men had been killed in the clashes. Jihadists affiliated to Islamic State seized government buildings and a state radio station in Sirte last month. Their main base is in eastern Libya where the elected government and army have battled extremists for months. In February, a video was released appearing to show the beheadings of 21 Egyptian Christians kidnapped by IS militants in Sirte. Militia forces and the self-proclaimed government ruling western Libya deny IS has a significant presence in Libya, saying the fighters are former Gaddafi loyalists.

Headline: Germany urges major powers and Iran to seize fresh opportunity for a nuclear deal
Germany on Monday urged its international partners and Iran “to seize this opportunity” to negotiate an end to the standoff over Tehran’s nuclear program before a deadline at the end of the month. EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini, who is negotiating with Iran on behalf of the world’s five nuclear powers and Germany, said that “we are entering a crucial time, a crucial two weeks.” Iran says its nuclear program is aimed at generating electricity and at medical research, but many in the West fear the Islamic republic is trying to covertly build atomic weapons. A deal that has taken shape over the past 15 months could see Iran freeze its nuclear program for at least a decade in exchange for the gradual lifting of international sanctions. German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said that after “more than 10 years of negotiations, we should seize this opportunity.” He will join the foreign ministers of France and Britain and Mogherini for talks in Brussels on Monday evening with their Iranian counterpart, Mohammad Javad Zarif. “There are areas where we’ve made progress, areas where we have yet to make any progress,” British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said. “But the fact that we’re all here talking shows the commitment on both sides to try to reach an agreement.”

Cavusoglu said all parties needed to work for a political “transformation” in Syria. Kerry over the weekend conceded “we have to negotiate in the end” with Assad, on the fourth anniversary of a conflict that has left more than 215,000 dead.

Headline: Two arrested as Ferguson protests move to St. Louis
Police arrested at least two people Saturday as nightly protests in the racially troubled US suburb of Ferguson over the police killing of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown shifted into the heart of St. Louis. Up to 50 youthful demonstrators gathered after sunset at the Midwestern city’s historic 19th century Old Courthouse to march through streets lined with bars filled with St. Patrick’s revelers. “Justice is dead! We have to wake it up,” one protester, David Ragland, shouted from the steps of the white colonnaded courthouse where in 1846 black slave Dred Scott filed his unsuccessful but historic lawsuit to win his freedom. When some of the protesters briefly held up traffic, police stepped in and took away two men — a young protester with a kerchief over his face and a freelance photojournalist, Philip Montgomery, on assignment for the Mashable website. Mashable’s executive editor Jim Roberts said via Twitter that Montgomery was “fine” after he was released a short time later.

Headline: Nearly a million protest Brazil’s president, economy, corruption
Close to a million demonstrators marched in cities and towns across Brazil on Sunday to protest a sluggish economy, rising prices and corruption – and to call for the impeachment of left-wing President Dilma Rousseff. The protests in the continent-sized country come as Brazil struggles to overcome economic and political malaise and pick up the pieces of a boom that crumbled about the time Rousseff took office in 2011. Rousseff, now early into her second four-year term, is unlikely to face the impeachment proceedings called for by many opponents. A fifth year of economic stagnation and a multibillion-dollar corruption scandal at state-run energy company Petroleo Brasileiro SA, or Petrobras, has fueled their anger. The unexpectedly large demonstrations also promise to embolden opposition parties and restive allies, including the leaders of both houses of Congress, who are nominally part of Rousseff’s ruling coalition, but nonetheless are hindering efforts to pass reforms intended to jump-start the economy.

The military announced that it had wrested back control last Saturday. Defence spokesman Chris Olukolade said that search operations in the area led to the discovery of the bomb-making factory manufacturing improvised explosive devices or IEDs. “A large quantity of IEDs, including those commonly used by suicide bombers were recovered from the site,” he added in an emailed statement. “The factory, which was located in a fertiliser company, has also converted some of the materials therein for production of all types of IEDs.”Troops are still evacuating the materials which include a large quantity of suicide bomber vests from the facility to their base.”

Headline: Hamas to mediate between Riyadh and Yemen’s Islah party
Yemen’s Houthi rebels on Monday released Prime Minister Khaled Bahah and all his cabinet ministers after nearly two months under house arrest, government spokesman Rajeh Badi said. Bahah said in a statement on his Facebook page that the move was a goodwill gesture to ease talks on Yemen’s political transition, but said he had no intention of resuming his post. He had resigned in January after the Houthis captured the presidential palace. President Abderabbo Mansour Hadi, who has resumed power from second city Aden in the south after escaping from house arrest in Sanaa last month, has proposed the crisis talks move to neighboring Saudi Arabia.
Meanwhile, the head of the political bureau of Hamas, Khaled Meshaal, is set to mediate between the Saudi capital Riyadh and the Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated Islah party in Yemen, political sources said on Sunday. The mediation, the sources said, was being made at the request of Saudi Arabia, which has been alarmed at the possibility of a power struggle in Yemen, something that might negatively affect the Gulf. The sources added that Meshaal enjoyed close ties with Yemen’s Muslim Brotherhood, and that his role as mediator was specifically requested by the Saudi monarch King Salman bin Abdulaziz, as well as other high-ranking Saudi officials. The Defence Minister Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the Crown Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz, and Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Nayef all contacted Meshaal to ask him to mediate between Riyadh and the Islah party because of his close relations with the latter.

Headline: America to lose one-third of its fresh produce when California runs out of water
As Michael Snyder points out in a timely article at The Economic Collapse Blog, California is rapidly reverting back to the desert it was once. Awareness of this is only now beginning to spread, but almost no one truly grasps the implications of what losing California’s Central Valley agricultural output means to grocery shoppers. Almost no one realizes, for example, that one-third of all the produce grown in the United States comes out of California’s Central Valley. As the NYT explains: Unlike the Midwest, which concentrates (devastatingly) on corn and soybeans, more than 230 crops are grown in the valley… melons, lettuce, asparagus, cabbage, broccoli, chard, collards, prickly pears, almonds, pistachios, grapes and more tomatoes than anyone could conceive of in one place. (The valley is the largest supplier of canned tomatoes in the world too.) Losing the ability to produce crops in the Central Valley means food prices will skyrocket across America: a pound of organic strawberries might cost $25, a single avocado might run you $10, and a head of organic romaine lettuce might set you back $12 or more.

Western powers are hoping for concessions from Tehran that could help clinch an agreement in nuclear talks this week after the United States and European powers voiced a willingness to compromise on suspending U.N. sanctions. Brent for April dropped $1.84 to $52.83, its lowest since early February, before recovering some ground to trade around $53.00, down $1.67, by 1430 GMT. U.S. crude fell to $43.18, its lowest since March 2009, before rebounding to around $43.35. Both benchmark crude futures contracts have fallen over the last two weeks on mounting evidence of a global glut that is filling oil inventories rapidly.

Gay and lesbian groups have officially joined a St Patrick’s Day parade in the US city of Boston for the first time. Until now, they had been banned by the organisers, who won support for their stance from the US Supreme Court. But the organisers, the South Boston Allied War Veterans Council, had a change of heart and told Boston Pride and Outvets, representing gay military veterans, they were welcome. St Patrick’s Day parades celebrate Irish and Irish-American culture. “Finally in the city of Boston we’re seeing the inclusivity we never thought we would see,” said Outvets founder Bryan Bishop, “This is personally one of the greatest days of my life.” In 1995 the Supreme Court upheld a ban on gay and lesbian groups, citing free speech rights. The organisers had argued that it violated their Roman Catholic doctrine. But the Veterans Council changed its position and its commander, Brian Mahoney, is quoted as saying “who am I to judge?” when asked about the issue of sexual orientation.

Headline: Christians riot in Pakistan after attacks targeting churches kill 14
Two bomb blasts have killed at least 14 people near two churches in a Christian neighbourhood of the Pakistani city of Lahore, local officials say. More than 70 people were hurt in the explosions, which targeted worshippers attending Sunday mass at the churches in the Youhanabad area. Violent protests erupted after the blasts, with a mob killing two men accused of involvement in the attacks. Pakistan’s Christian community has often been targeted by militants. An offshoot of the Pakistan Taliban, calling itself Jamatul Ahrar, has said it carried out the attack. Witnesses say suicide bombers were responsible for the explosions but police have not confirmed this. The bombers are said to have detonated their explosives near the gates of St John’s Catholic Church and Christ Church.

Headline: Christians say under siege in Modi’s India after rape, attacks
Christians in India said on Monday that the Hindu nationalist government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi had not done enough to protect their religion, after a spate of attacks including the rape of a 75-year-old nun at the weekend. Christians prayed and held vigils across the country to protest against the rape during an armed assault on a convent school, the worst in a series of incidents that followers of the faith say are making them feel unwelcome in their own country. The convent attack also comes in the same month an interview emerged of a man being held on death row for a fatal gang rape in which he showed no remorse and blamed the victim. The government banned the documentary, “India’s Daughter”, a decision which angered some Indians who said it should be aired to highlight the prevalence of gender inequality and sex crimes. Father Savari Muthu, spokesman for the Delhi Catholic Archdiocese and a national Church organizer, said the government had not taken “concrete action to protect Christians. “We have to raise our voice against the atrocities. Christians will not tolerate this humiliation,” he said, joining critics who say Modi has not done enough to ensure religious harmony in a country with a history of inter-faith bloodshed. The motive for the assault and armed robbery in the eastern state of West Bengal on Saturday was not clear.

Headline: Heat wave sets new temperature records across California
A March heat wave set new temperature records across California on Saturday, with more sweltering conditions in the forecast for Sunday. Lifeguards reported big crowds at local beaches, even though the temperatures along the coast were in the high 80s and low 90s. Downtown L.A., Long Beach, San Diego and other spots set new temperature records for the date — for the second day in a row. Downtown L.A. was at 93 degrees by 1 p.m. Temperarures in inland valley areas were also high, including 94 in San Gabriel and 92 in Van Nuys. The heart extended to Northern California, where San Francisco, Sacramento, Stockton and Modesto set a new record for the day of 84 degrees. The heat is caused by a high-pressure system moving across the region, according to the National Weather Service. With temperatures 20 degrees above normal, the heat this weekend will break records that have stood for more than 60 years, said meteorologist Stuart Seto. On Saturday, highs will hit the 90s inland and the 80s on the coast. “These are record-breaking temperatures,” Seto said.

Headline: Vanuatu Faces Lack of Food, Disease Outbreak
Relief workers said Monday the conditions in Vanuatu in the wake of Cyclone Pam are among the worst they have ever seen and the environment is rife for spreading disease. “I don’t think there has ever been destruction on this scale in one place,” said Aurelia Balpe, head of the Pacific Office of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. “Friday night was the first emergency with the arrival of Cyclone Pam, disease will be the second emergency without clean water, sanitation and hygiene provision,” Oxfam Vanuatu Director Colin Collett van Rooyen said. “We need food for the coming weeks,” said Red Cross Vanuatu CEO Jacqueline de Gaillarde. Officials in Vanuatu had still not made contact with outlying islands by Monday night and were struggling to determine the scale of devastation from the cyclone, which tore through the nation early Saturday. Authorities have confirmed at least eight deaths and more than 20 injuries. Bridges were down outside the capital, Port Vila, making travel by vehicle impossible even around the main island of Efate.
