Headline: Putin reaffirms Israel-Russia ties
Amid Russia’s stepped up military activity in Syria and increased tension between Moscow and Washington, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday, while Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev is expected to come for a visit on November 10. As has been the case in the past, the Kremlin issued a brief statement about the Netanyahu-Putin call, while the Prime Minister’s Office did not issue any kind of read-out. According to the Kremlin, Putin “cordially” congratulated Netanyahu on his birthday, and sent greetings on the occasion of Succot: “The two leaders exchanged greetings on the occasion of the 25th anniversary [October 18] of the restoration of diplomatic relations between Russia and Israel, and emphasized their interest in further developing multifaceted bilateral cooperation. They also discussed urgent international and regional issues.” This was the sixth phone call between the two leaders this year. They have also met four times in the past 16 months.

Headline: Bill would forbid Israelis from speaking at UN
Headline: NGOs want Russia out of UN rights council for Syria role
Coalition chairman MK David Bitan (Likud) is planning to promote a new bill that would forbid Israelis from appearing before international bodies with operational powers, such as the UN Security Council, Channel 2 News reported on Saturday. The proposal comes following the appearance by B’Tselem executive director Hagai El-Ad at a UN Security Council meeting on Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria, in which he spoke against Israeli “occupation” in Judea and Samaria. On Friday, Bitan told Channel 2 that he was looking into the legal possibility of revoking El-ad’s citizenship due to his defaming of Israel before the UN Security Council. According to Saturday’s report, Bitan discovered that legally it would not be possible to revoke El-ad’s citizenship, and he therefore decided on a new course of action in the form of promoting legislation against anti-Israel speeches like the one given by El-ad.

Headline: Analysis: Israel likely to lose big in Wednesday’s UNESCO vote
The Palestinian Authority sent a letter Monday night to 21 member nations of the United Nation’s World Heritage Committee and who are set to vote Wednesday on another UNESCO decision regarding Jerusalem, the Temple Mount, and the Western Wall. In their letter, the PA abstained from describing Israel as an “occupying power,” presumably to soften their anti-Israel stance. While the Palestinian Authority is not a voting member of UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee, Jordan has lent its backing to the PA. In the new resolution, the name “Western Wall” which was in quotes, is now written without quotes. However, the Temple Mount is still referred to as “Al-Aqsa Haram e-Sharif” and is still recognized as an exclusively Muslim site, with no mention of the Temple Mount or its significance for Jews anywhere in the document. However, after several countries announced they would not vote for the “Palestinian cause” this time, the Palestinian Authority and Jordan have begun to threaten the voting countries.

Headline: First time in 1,000 years: Yom Kippur service on Temple Mount
Only once in the last thousand years (since the second Muslim conquest of the Holy Land – the first was in the 7th century after the rise of Islam) has a Yom Kippur service been carried out on the Temple Mount. Kept secret for nearly 50 years, the prayer leader at the time recently told the story to correspondent Haggai Huberman. The service was complete with prostrations as in Temple times, though without sacrificial and incense offerings. The main participant was none other than Rabbi Menachem HaCohen (the name Cohen means priest and almost always denotes someone descended from Moses’ brother Aaron, the first Priest), who served in the past as Labor Party Knesset Member, Rabbi of the national Histadrut Labor Organization, and top aide to IDF Chief Rabbi Maj.-Gen. Shlomo Goren. In the famous photo of Rabbi Goren blowing the shofar atop the Mount upon its 1967 liberation by Israeli forces, Rabbi HaCohen can be seen at his side. After the Six Day War, a sharp dispute arose between Defense Minister Moshe Dayan, who “returned the Temple Mount keys” to the Waqf, and Rabbi Goren, who felt that Jews must be allowed to pray at their most sacred site and wanted to build a synagogue there. After Rabbi Goren held a Tisha B’Av prayer service atop the Mount just six weeks after the Six Day War, Dayan forbade him by military order to pray there again.

Headline: With President Aoun, Iran replaces Syria in Lebanon
The leader of Lebanon’s Hezbollah movement, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, said on Sunday the door to electing a president was “wide open” and his members of parliament would vote for ally Michel Aoun at a parliamentary session at the end of October. Lebanon has been without a president for more than two years, part of a political crisis that has resulted in a breakdown in many basic services and concerns about the country’s stability. Lebanon’s former prime minister Saad al-Hariri said on Thursday he would back Christian leader Aoun to be president. Hariri stressed that his endorsement was a “political settlement” for the benefit of the whole country. “The past few days saw an important development: a declaration by the Future Movement leader (Hariri) of his support for the nomination of General Michel Aoun for the presidency. The door is now realistically wide open for a successful presidential election,” Nasrallah said. Parliament will convene on Oct. 31 for a session to elect the president, the 46th such sitting since the term of the last president, Michel Suleiman, expired in 2014. Each of the previous sittings failed to gain the two-thirds quorum needed for a vote. The position of president must be filled by a Maronite Christian.

Saudi Arabia
Headline: In apparent rift with Ramallah, Saudi Arabia halts PA funding
Without providing prior warning or an explanation to Ramallah, Saudi Arabia has been holding back financial aid earmarked for the Palestinian Authority for over six months, senior PA officials say. Saudi Arabia had been paying $20 million a month to the PA as aid to the cash-strapped Palestinian government in the West Bank when it suddenly shut the tap. While there has been no official announcement from either Riyadh or Ramallah, The Times of Israel has learned that the payments stopped over half a year ago with no clear reason given for the cessation. Palestinian sources said that several emissaries from the Palestinian Authority have attempted to find out the reasons for the funding freeze but were not given full answers by the Saudi government. The Palestinian Authority is working on the assumption that the freeze is due to an across-the-board cut in Saudi Arabia’s funding of foreign countries based on its own budgetary strains, but some sources assess that Riyadh may be unhappy with PA President Mahmoud Abbas.

Egypt’s interior minister warned in comments published on Monday that the country faced “unprecedented challenges” that required a “decisive” response by security forces, accusing the now-banned Muslim Brotherhood of scheming to incite chaos. The minister’s comments, which came in an interior ministry statement published in state-owned newspapers, was the latest sign of alarm by President Abdel Fattah Al Sisi’s government over possible unrest as result of worsening economic conditions. In Monday’s statement, Interior Minister Magdy Abdel-Ghaffar, who is in charge of the police, said the Brotherhood was seeking through “conspiratorial schemes to incite chaos and confusion with the aim of creating skepticism over the ability of the state and its institutions to satisfy popular expectations”. “The security forces will not, under any circumstances, tolerate any attempt to repeat the scenes of chaos and sabotage at a time when the country is moving forward with firm steps toward a promising future, God willing,” said the minister.

The organizations urged UN member states to “question seriously whether Russia’s role in Syria — which includes supporting and undertaking military actions which have routinely targeted civilians and civilian objects — renders it fit to serve on the UN’s premier inter-governmental human rights institution.”

Headline: Battle for Mosul: ISIS mines bridges over Tigris
The United Nations said Friday it is “gravely worried” that ISIS has taken 550 families from villages around Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city, and is using them as “human shields” as Iraqi and Kurdish forces battle the terror group for control of the city. Two hundred families from Samalia village and 350 families from Najafia were forced out Monday and taken to Mosul in what appears to be “an apparent policy by ISIS to prevent civilians escaping,” Ravina Shamdasani, deputy spokeswoman for the UN Human Rights Office, told CNN. Meanwhile, ISIS militants attacked security buildings in Kirkuk, 175 kilometers (109 miles) southeast of Mosul. Iraqi security forces have defeated the Islamic State militant group (ISIS) in the northern city of Kirkuk, ending a three-day assault and killing at least 74 jihadis, the provincial governor said Monday. “The attack is over and life has returned to normal,” Najm al-Din Karim, the governor of Kirkuk province, told AFP news agency. “The security forces have killed more than 74 Daesh terrorists and detained several others, including their leader,” he added, using the Arabic acronym for the group, as Iraqi and Kurdish forces continued their assault on ISIS forces with the aim of recapturing Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city. The attack in Kirkuk, an oil-rich city located 100 miles southeast of Mosul, was initiated Friday by sleeper cells who joined forces with infiltrating ISIS fighters.

Headline: Ar-Rutbah cleared of ISIS despite almost capturing it
Official US optimism was absent from the latest Pentagon spokesman’s evaluation of the state of the offensive to wrest Mosul from ISIS as it entered its second week. Late Monday, Oct. 24, Capt. Jeff Davis said that, while Iraqi and Kurdish forces were making “solid progress,” they are now meeting “heavy resistance,” outside Mosul and predicted that “its going to get heavier” as allied forces push into the city. Capt. Davis also admitted that the 80 or so villages and small towns retaken by Kurdish and Iraqi forces in the first week of the campaign were largely uninhabited. US soldiers were Monday ordered to use gas masks after ISIS poured oil on a sulfur mine 70km south of Mosul that continues to burn near the US and Iraqi military center at Qayyarah. One obstacle after another – often unforeseen – is slowing the coalition’s advance on Mosul – as debkafile was the first publication to reveal last week. It is becoming obvious that ISIS is following a plan to circle around Mosul in a wide radius and pouncing on important spots for diversionary attacks: Last week, they overran Kirkuk; this week, Sinjar and Rutba. The capture of Sinjar in northern Iraq near the Syrian border was the Islamists’ second victory against the Kurdish Peshmerga. Its fall saved ISIS’ main supply route from Iraq to its Syrian stronghold in Raqqa from being cut off. For the Kurdish Peshmerga, it was disastrous.

A Syrian Kurd leader in France on Tuesday accused Turkey of “massively attacking” Kurdish forces trying to recapture Raqqa, the ISIS stronghold in Syria. “With its artillery and aircraft, the Turkish army is taking advantage of the media and international community’s focus on Mosul to massively attack Syrian Kurds to stop them taking Raqqa,” Khalen Issa told a news conference in Paris. Iraq announced the launch of the operation to retake Mosul from ISIS on October 17, and has since been advancing towards the city from the south, east and north. Issa, the representative of Syrian Kurds in France, said that in their preparations to retake Raqqa, the US-backed Kurdish-Arab Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) “have liberated several villages occupied by Daesh (an alternative name for ISIS) to the northeast of Aleppo.” “If Turkish artillery and aircraft are heavily bombing SDF positions in this zone and in the Afrine district it is partly to stop them (SDF) cutting Daesh supply lines to Raqqa and partly to allow Turkey to keep control of 70 kilometers (43 miles) of its border with Syria,” he said.

The United States is troubled by reports that an Iranian-American man may have been sentenced by Iran to 18 years in prison, a State Department spokesman said on Tuesday, a week after an Iranian-American businessman and his father were also jailed by an Iranian court. “We are troubled by reports that Robin Reza Shahini, a person reported to be a U.S. citizen, may have been convicted and sentenced to 18 years in prison,” spokesman John Kirby told a daily briefing. He called on Tehran to halt “arbitrary and politically motivated detentions.” California-based Shahini was detained while visiting his mother in Gorgan in July, according to Shahini’s friends. Last week, businessman Siamak Namazi and his 80-year-old father Baquer Namazi, a former Iranian provincial governor and former UNICEF official, were sentenced to 10 years in prison on charges of cooperating with the United States. Iran does not recognize dual nationality, which prevents Western embassies from visiting such detainees. Washington secured the release of five U.S. citizens from Iran in January in a prisoner exchange and has said it raises the detention of other Americans held by Tehran during meetings with Iranian officials.

A wave of anti-government protests and the imposition of a state of emergency has triggered a collapse in tourism bookings in Ethiopia, underlining the effect the unrest is having on one of Africa’s best-performing economies. As the demonstrations spread across the country, governments, including the US, UK, Australia, Canada and Ireland, have advised their citizens against all non-essential travel to the country or Amhara and Oromia regions at the centre of the instability. Hailemariam Desalegn, Ethiopia’s prime minister, has said the death toll from the demonstrations, which began last November and have been exacerbated by the authoritarian regime’s brutal crackdown on protesters, could be as high as 500. Thousands of people have been arrested and the government imposed a state of emergency as it grapples with the biggest threat to the Horn of Africa nation’s stability in years. The protests originally began over land disputes, but the state’s harsh response caused them to spiral into broader protests against the government.

The Japanese government said Tuesday that it will send a new batch of Self-Defense Forces (SDF) to South Sudan in late November after extending the SDF participation in a UN peacekeeping mission by five months through March. The government said that it will decide before the troop’s departure whether to assign additional duties to them in accordance with the controversial new security laws that came into effect in March and allowed SDF personnel with more flexible use of weapons. The new tasks will probably include aiding UN personnel and others under attack by armed groups and jointly defending UN peacekeepers’ camps with troops from other nations, said local media. The security laws, steamrolled through the parliament by the ruling Liberal Democratic Party-led coalition, expanded the role of the SDF overseas despite their inherent contradictions to Japan’s own pacifist Constitution. Defense Minister Tomomi Inada said that the decision will be made after “comprehensively” assessing the training results of the SDF personnel and the security situation in South Sudan.

Headline: Morocco seeks to rejoin the African Union
King Mohammed VI of Morocco is currently touring East Africa. Officially he is looking to improve relations with the region but he has another goal: Find support for Morocco joining the African Union. With a military parade, traditional dancers and a private tour through the Ngorongoro National Park, it is clear that the Tanzanian government wanted to make Moroccan King Mohammed VI feel welcome. The king is on a three-day visit having just arrived from Rwanda. The official reason for the visit is to build political and economic relations between Morocco and East Africa. In Rwanda, the king and President Paul Kagame signed 19 bilateral agreements. Morocco has traditionally not been a very close partner to the region. But the king also has a second important item on his agenda: After more than 30 years, the country wants to rejoin the African Union (AU). This goal was revealed in a letter to the AU during the organization’s summit in July and the king has been pushing for the move ever since. But Morocco rejoining the AU is a politically sensitive issue. Mohammed’s father, Hassan II, pulled the country out of the then-called Organization of African Unity (OAU) in 1984 by because of the acceptance of Western Sahara into the organization. Morocco still considers Western Sahara as it southern province.

Authorities in Rome recently closed down five makeshift mosques in the city in what Muslims see as a crackdown on their religion. Thousands attended Friday prayers this week outside the iconic Colosseum in Rome to demonstrate against the closures. The small mosques had been shut down by the authorities on fears that youngsters were becoming radicalized. During the protest prayer, worshippers knelt on mats metres away from the ancient amphitheatre. An imam led the group in chants of “Allah Akbar” while they kneeled to the ground facing the Colosseum. Many Muslims in the country believe local authorities are reacting to fear caused by recent terror attacks in Europe. Italy does not recognise Islam as an official religion. On top of this, many Muslims from North Africa and South Asia feel discriminated against on the grounds of both race and religion.

Pakistani troops were conducting an anti-terror operation after gunmen stormed a police training center in the tumultuous southwestern province of Baluchistan Monday, leaving at least 11 people wounded. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack. Baluchistan is the scene of on an ongoing low-intensity insurgency by Baloch separatist groups, who have claimed hit-and-run attacks on security forces and government officials in the recent past. Islamic militants also have presence in the province bordering Afghanistan. In Monday night’s attack, between four and six gunmen tried to enter the hostel of a police training center in a suburban area of the provincial capital Quetta. Authorities said six trainees were wounded by gunshot and another five were injured when jumping off a roof and climbing a wall. Baluchistan police chief Ahsan Mahboob told reporters that four gunmen attacked the training center, attempting to enter a hostel housing the trainees. A gun battle erupted when the hostel guards resisted, he said, leaving six trainees wounded by gunfire. Mahboob said police and paramilitary forces surrounded the venue. A military statement put the number of attackers at up to six, and said Army and Frontier Corps troops were conducting a counter-terrorism operation at the site. The attack came hours after gunmen shot and killed two customs officers and wounded a third near the town of Surab, about 90 miles south of Quetta. No groups claimed responsibility for that attack either.

And a couple weeks ago we picked the parts, loading the LPC with more than 128GB RAM, 42TB of storage, world-class cooling and a pair of the fastest GPUs ever created. But the LPC needs to be more than a collection of the best gaming hardware in the world. This year we’re going all-out on making the LPC a powerful, over-the-top expression of what PC gaming can be. After considering dozens of different concepts for the LPC, we fell in love with the idea of reproducing this holy box of power. Raiders describes the Ark as “a radio for talking to god,” among other things. We’ve teamed up with two veteran case modders Lee Harrington and Ron Christianson to help us realize this possibly blasphemous vision for a computer.

Joseph, 40, his wife Summer, 43, Gianni, 4, and Joseph Jr., 3, had been bludgeoned to death and buried in shallow graves in the desert. Investigators long suspected Charles Merritt in the family’s disappearance, interviewing him days after they went missing. Merritt was McStay’s business partner and the last person known to see him alive. Merritt had also borrowed $30,000 from McStay to cover a gambling debt, a mutual business partner told police. None of it was enough to make an arrest. Even after the gravesite was discovered and McStay’s DNA was found inside Merritt’s vehicle, police were far from pinning the quadruple homicide on him. Until they turned to Project Hemisphere.
Hemisphere is a secretive program run by AT&T that searches trillions of call records and analyzes cellular data to determine where a target is located, with whom he speaks, and potentially why. “Merritt was in a position to access the cellular telephone tower northeast of the McStay family gravesite on February 6th, 2010, two days after the family disappeared,” an affidavit for his girlfriend’s call records reports Hemisphere finding (PDF). Merritt was arrested almost a year to the date after the McStay family’s remains were discovered, and is awaiting trial for the murders.

Headline: Baby Jesus statue’s head returned after orange replacement becomes viral joke
The missing white stone head of baby Jesus has been returned to a Canadian church after its bright orange replacement was widely mocked. On Friday, an anonymous woman returned the original head to Sainte Anne des Pins Catholic church in downtown Sudbury, according to the CBC. The head had been taken off the white stone statue of Mary holding the baby Jesus several times before, and left on the ground by vandals. The head was once again removed from the statue outside the church about a year ago, but this time was nowhere to be found. While the church’s priest, Gérard Lajeunesse, had asked local businesses about crafting a new head after several months, a local artist, Heather Wise, had offered to help craft a new one. She created a head of terracotta as a temporary replacement until she could sculpt a permanent head of stone, she told Sudbury.com. The temporary head quickly became a joke on social media, where it was compared to the spiky-haired cartoon character Maggie Simpson and the alien ET. The incident was even likened to the now infamous attempt by a Spanish woman to restore a crumbling fresco of Jesus. An Instagram account called “temporaryjesushead” was created to lampoon the sculpture, photoshopping the head on to images of ET, from the 1982 film; Donald Trump; Hillary Clinton; Darth Maul from Star Wars and others.

Headline: Shrine to Jesus in Israel ‘robbed and vandalised’
A church in Israel built where Christians believe the transfiguration of Jesus took place has been vandalized, with chalices stolen, icons damaged and a donation box robbed, an official said Tuesday. Church officials believe the motive for Monday’s incident was robbery and not Jewish extremism, which has been blamed for previous vandalism at Christian sites in Israel, said Wadie Abunassar, a spokesman for bishops in the Holy Land. Abunassar could not say how many chalices were stolen from the Basilica of the Transfiguration or how much money from the donation box had been taken. Communion bread had also been thrown on the ground. No graffiti was painted on the church as usually occurs with vandalism by extremists, Abunassar said. A report has been made with police. The church is located on Mount Tabor in the Galilee region of northern Israel, where Christians believe Jesus became radiant and spoke with Moses and Elijah.

Headline: UN: Opium production skyrockets in Afghanistan
Afghanistan has seen a dramatic surge in the production of opium this year, according to a new United Nations report. Poor security conditions have led to a 43% rise in production of the illicit crop from 2015, with 4,800 metric tons produced this year, according to the Afghanistan Opium Survey 2016 compiled by the UN. Yury Fedotov, executive director of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, said the new report shows a worrying reversal in efforts to combat the persistent problem of illicit drugs and their impact on development. The main reason for the increase, according to Mohammad Hanif Danishyar, spokesman for Afghanistan’s Ministry of Counter-Narcotics, was the deteriorating security situation in parts of the country, which meant that eradication plans could not be implemented, Eradication teams in Afghanistan who monitor and destroy the growth of poppy have come under direct attack from farmers and insurgents, who want to protect what to them is a lucrative cash crop. Authorities have only been able to destroy 355 hectares of opium poppies this year compared to 3,760 hectares in 2015, a 91% decrease.

I know many of you will think this is a joke but, when you watch the video that comes with this report you will see for yourself that it is actually what she says on stage. This is the type of person who is backing lying Hillary. Between last night where I heard first hand that Hillary supports killing babies that are at full term and now this statement from Madonna you should get the sense Jesus Christ got it right when He warned us our generation would be like Noah’s generation. Before you go vote on November the 8th just think about what Hillary supports. Picture if you will a full term baby in a Mothers womb. The baby is fully developed and ready to begin living on its own apart from the Mother who has been carrying it for 9 months. Now without this young child knowing a doctor is about to enter the womb and kill the baby on purpose. I have seen photos and videos of babies trying to move out of the way to avoid the doctors medical instruments that are as deadly as a hand gun placed at your head and pulling the trigger. Is there really any difference in what is used in murdering someone. The end result is the same, death. I can not for the life of me imagine how cold blooded these people are who call themselves doctors are as they forcefully destroy a 9 month baby. Not once during the Presidential debate last night did someone say let the baby live because there are loving people who would adopt unwanted babies. How in the world can America every have a chance from not be destroyed by Christ as millions upon millions of America babies are lead to the slaughter. Picture if you will the operation of killing a 9 month old baby. Picture the once living baby in the Mother now laid out on the table torn apart and lifeless. And this is okay with Hillary! If you can vote for someone with this type of cold heart and, friends like Madonna who have no trouble saying they will give blow jobs to anyone who votes for her that is your business but know this. Jesus is watching every move you make. He will be judging these deeds at the judgement seat of Christ. Hillary Clinton may not shed any tears over the tiny babies that are murdered but, my heart goes out to each child that is taken away from the life that Jesus intended for it. Who will take a stand for these babies who want to live? The person who wants these kids to be protected is Donald Trump. A vote for Hillary is just like a vote to end another life under a Hillary Presidency.
You want to know more about the judgement seat you will face for the things you have done on Earth, I made part 41 in my teaching of the book of Revelation. Today’s video is the beginning of Revelation chapter 19 where I will cover this judgement seat. Scroll below the Madonna report to watch part 41.
Headline: Madonna pledges oral sex for Clinton voters
Madonna is pledging to perform oral sex on voters who cast their ballots for Hillary Clinton. The pop queen, known for her shocking antics, made the remark Tuesday while opening for comedian Amy Schumer in New York. “If you vote for Hillary Clinton,” Madonna told the crowd at Madison Square Garden, “I will give you a blow job.” “And I’m good,” the 58-year-old “Like a Virgin” singer, an outspoken supporter of the Democratic presidential nominee, said to cheers from the audience. “I’m not a tool. I take my time,” Madonna boasted. Madonna has made a point of rooting on the former secretary of State’s White House bid, posting several pro-Clinton messages on Twitter. The entertainer’s comments at Schumer’s show come just days after the comic made headlines for telling supporters of GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump who booed her to leave a performance. Schumer, who has also endorsed Clinton, reportedly told the crowd, “Just so you know, from now on, if you yell out, you’re gonna get thrown out.” http://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/301780-madonna-pledges-oral-sex-for-clinton-voters
In closing let us who love Jesus Christ always remind the people who are not walking with Jesus that they can be forgiven for the things they are doing or have already done. There is no sin that Jesus will not forgive if a person asks of Jesus except the rejection of salvation through Christ Jesus. So, as bad as it appears both Hillary and Madonna are they like so many of us who already have come to Christ can have their name written in the Book of Life as well. I for one pray they will.

Headline: Netanyahu tells Amona residents Obama is a threat to communities
Prime Minister Netanyahu told Amona residents in informal discussions that President Obama intends to harm Judean and Samarian communities before he leaves the White House, according to a Channel 2 report tonight. According to the report Netanyahu said there is a real threat of unilateral steps being taken by the president against the Judean and Samarian communities during the short period left before he leaves the White House. Netanyahu’s warnings come despite the fact that at present there is no indication yet of such a move on Obama’s part and he even briefed reporters recently saying that he had no political plan which he intends to promote before the end of his presidency. Another issue is at present in contention between Israel and the US. After Israel’s UN ambassador Danny Danon attacked the UN Wednesday for funding the B’Tselem organization and providing it with a platform to attack Israel, American representative David Pressman defended the organization. Pressman claimed that the extreme left-wing organizations who appeared at the Security Council’s unofficial meeting expressed their ‘professional viewpoint’ and added that “Their words must be taken as the truth, as we know from many other unaffiliated organizations which describe difficult situations occurring around the world. It’s important to create an atmosphere in which any complaint can reach the ears of the world.”

Headline: Assad: Israel Backs ISIS, Terrorism In Syria To Keep Golan Heights, Syrian President Claims
Israel’s government functions as a terrorist group akin to Al Qaeda or the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, Syrian President Bashar Assad claimed Friday in an interview with Russian tabloid Komsomolskaya Pravda. Israel is working to “undermine” Syria by supporting “terrorism,” such as the militant group also known as ISIS, he added, according to media reports Tuesday. “There’s no contradiction between Israel and any organization like al-Nusra or ISIS or any Al-Qaida-linked organization,” said Assad of Israel and rebel groups fighting his regime in Syria. “Anyone, any terrorist who holds a machine gun and started killing and destroying in Syria was supported by Israel, either indirectly through the logistical support on the frontier, or sometimes by direct intervention by Israel against Syria in different areas in Syria.” Assad explained his views on Israel’s motives: “Israel is our enemy, because they occupy our lands, and they look at Syria as [an] enemy of course, and for them they think if they undermine the position of Syria and make it weaker as a whole, as [a] society, as [an] army, as [a] state, that will prevent Israel from moving toward the peace, and the price for peace is to give back the Golan Heights to Syria. So, for them, Syria will be busy with another issue now.”

Headline: Islam originally recognized Jews as owners of Israel
In the wake of the latest UNESCO decision, Prof. Nissim Dana of the Middle Eastern Affairs Department at Ariel University discussed in an Arutz Sheva interview the early Islamic attitude towards the connection between Jerusalem and Israel and Judaism. Dana stated that he had investigated the early Islamic sources and had even published a book on the subject entitled To Whom Does This Land Belong?: New Insights into the Koran, revealing that Islam absolutely does not have a claim on the Land of Israel – even by its own standards – as it recognizes the Jews as the owners of this country and of Jerusalem. Nowadays, however, he explained, Muslims seem to be following the maxim ‘Don’t confuse us with the facts’ and it is impossible to change beliefs which they have assimilated over the last few generations even by presenting them with facts from their own sources. Dana said that “Islam was born in the seventh century C.E. and the Jewish Temple existed many years before that so that it is impossible to mistake those historical facts. Hundreds of years before Islam there was a connection between Jews and Jerusalem.” If Islam is aware of historical events preceding it, how can it change such things as the binding of Isaac to the ‘binding of Ishmael’ and create an entire festival around it?

Headline: Jordan King says Christian Arabs play key role in defending holy sites in Jerusalem
Jordan on Tuesday renewed its stand celebrating a ‘victory’ in UNESCO, which officially adopted an Arab-sponsored resolution condemning Israel’s actions at holy sites in East Jerusalem, deepening anger in Israel. The UNESCO resolution on “Occupied Palestine” was endorsed Tuesday by the agency’s executive board at its headquarters in Paris, after being approved at the committee stage last week, when Minister of State for Media Affairs Mohammad Momani described the resolution on Al Aqsa Mosque/Al Haram Al Sharif in East Jerusalem as a political and legal victory against the Israeli occupation. On Tuesday, he added that the final “historic” decision “underlines the international community’s awareness of the sensitivity of this serious issue,” adding that the Israeli violations to the sanctity of Al Aqsa Mosque/Al Haram Al Sharif have “created an environment that supports radicalism and aggression”. Momani told The Jordan Times earlier this week that Jordan is proud to be the Muslim and Arab country that spearheads efforts to protect the holy shrines in Jerusalem, urging the international community to support the enforcement of international law and to bring an end to Israeli occupation.

Less than a day after its launch, the big Mosul offensive prepared for more than a year by the US, the Iraqi army, Kurdish forces and others, ground to a halt Tuesday Oct. 17, debkafile’s military sources report – although none of the parties admitted as much. Iraqi Prime Minister Haidar Al-Abadi said his troops were busy opening up corridors for some million civilians to escape, while US sources suggested that the Islamic State would use primitive chemical weapons against the advancing Iraqi and Kurdish forces. Both had the ring of cover stories to account for the spearhead forces, the Iraq army’s 9th Armored Division and the Federal Police special anti-terror units, being thrown back Tuesday on their way to Mosul from the east and the south, while still 10-15km short of the city. They sustained heavy losses in lives and hardware. The 9th Division and its newly-supplied heavy US Abrahams tanks were stopped at al-Hamdaniyah outside Mosul and retreated, recalling a previous defeat at ISIS hands in June 2014, when troops of the same division fled under Islamist attack, leaving their tanks behind. The Iraqi anti-terror force withdrew from the village of al-Houd outside Mosul, a move which left the Kurdish Peshmerga no option but to stop its sweep of the villages around the city or expose their flanks to ISIS suicide and car bomb assaults. Tuesday night, both Iraqi and Kurdish commanders announced a pause in their advance and said they would meet Wednesday to decide how to proceed.

South Sudan’s ousted Vice President Riek Machar outlined his plan to return from exile and revive a shattered peace plan, warning that failure to include him in the country’s political setup risks an outbreak of genocide. Mr. Machar, a rebel leader, said he plans to meet with the leaders of countries neighboring South Sudan to discuss how to resuscitate the peace accord he reached with his rival President Salva Kiir last year. He said he also expects to return to South Sudan before the end of the year. Without immediate steps to restore peace to South Sudan, Mr. Machar warned, Mr. Kiir’s government could carry out genocide against his Nuer tribe, as well as other South Sudanese tribes such as the Equatorians. The government has targeted civilians by tribe since 2013, with attacks on the Nuer community, Mr. Machar said. “This time the people in Equatoria are bearing the brunt. I wouldn’t rule it [genocide] out,” he told The Wall Street Journal in an interview in Pretoria.

Tunisia
Headline: Britain sends new military training mission to Tunisia to counter IS
Britain has sent 40 military personnel to Tunisia to provide training aimed at helping the North African country prevent the spread of Islamic State fighters from neighboring Libya, the British defense minister said on Saturday. The training will focus on operational planning, intelligence, surveillance and mobile patrolling and is the third mission of its kind by British troops in Tunisia since 30 British holidaymakers were killed in a beach attack there. The massacre in June last year at a hotel in Sousse on the Mediterranean coast was the biggest loss of British lives in such an incident since the July 2005 bombings in London. “We are determined to support our Tunisian allies to defend against Daesh (Islamic State) terrorists who slaughtered innocent Britons on a beach there last year,” Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said in a statement. “Our training will help Tunisian forces strengthen their border security and stop the spread of Daesh along the coast.”

Algeria
Headline: Algeria Concerned over Mounting Shi’ite Influence on Its Territories
Algerians have increasing concerns over the spread of Shi’ite influence in their country, as an extensive wave of conversion into Shi’ism is raging across mosques in Algeria. In this context, the president of the High Islamic Council – the highest religious authority in the country – warned against attempts to destabilize the unity of the Algerian society. In an interview with Al-Khabar local Algerian newspaper on Tuesday, Bou Abdullah Ghulamallah said “thousands of imported books carry dangerous thoughts that are aimed at convincing the Algerian people that their Islamic religion is wrong”. “We don’t want the Algerians to be influenced by such thoughts,” he added. In earlier remarks, Algerian Minister of Religious Affairs Mohammed Issa said that his country has been recently targeted by sectarian indoctrination far from the cultural and religious values which were inherited from Algerian Salaf (ancestors). The minister made a reference to the wave of conversion into Shi’ism raging across the country. The minister further warned of radical extremism conveyed by those sects. The upsurge of conversion aims at diverting the people of Algeria from their main track and creating a sectarian-spurred division amid the community. On the other hand, the Islam adopted in Algeria is a moderate one and it coexists with other sects and religions, the minister said.

Headline: UN peacekeeping chief to visit disputed Western Sahara
The U.N. peacekeeping chief said Tuesday he is heading to the disputed Western Sahara later this week to visit U.N. troops for the first time since Morocco expelled more than 70 U.N. civilian staffers in March to protest comments by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. Herve Ladsous told a group of reporters after briefing the Security Council that he will visit Layoune, the largest city in Western Sahara, as well as camps for Sahrawi refugees in neighboring Tindouf, Algeria, and the Moroccan capital, Rabat. He will be the highest-ranking U.N. official to visit the region since early March when Ban used the word “occupation” in talking about Morocco’s involvement in Western Sahara during a visit to a refugee camp in Tindouf. That led to demonstrations against Ban in Morocco and the government’s decision to expel U.N. civilian workers. Morocco annexed Western Sahara, a former Spanish colony, in 1975 and fought a local independence movement called the Polisario Front. The U.N. brokered a ceasefire in 1991 and established a peacekeeping mission known as MINURSO to monitor it and help prepare a referendum on the territory’s future, which has never taken place. Morocco considers the mineral-rich region its “southern provinces” and has proposed wide-ranging autonomy, but the Polisario Front insists on self-determination through a referendum for the local population.

Armenia
Headline: Russian-Turkish Rapprochement ‘Not Risky For Armenia’
An ongoing thaw in Russia’s relations with Turkey is not fraught with any geopolitical dangers for Armenia, an aide to Russian President Vladimir Putin insisted on Friday. Russian-Turkish relations deteriorated sharply following the downing of a Russian fighter jet on the Syrian border by Turkish forces in November 2015. Moscow imposed trade and travel sanctions against Turkey and Russian in retaliation. The two nations began rapidly mending ties following a recent letter of regret from Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on the death of the Russian plane’s pilot. Putin highlighted the normalization process when he visited Istanbul and met with Erdogan earlier this week. The two leaders presided over the signing of an agreement to build a gas pipeline from Russia to Europe. The expensive project was suspended during the Russian-Turkish row. The renewed Russian-Turkish rapprochement has raised fears among some Armenian pundits and politicians that Russia might cut more deals with Turkey and even Azerbaijan at the expense of Armenia’s interests.

The Boko Haram Takfiri terrorist group claims it has killed 20 soldiers and wounded dozens of others during an attack on military positions in northeastern Nigeria. The casualties occurred during “fierce clashes” on Sunday when the group “stormed a joint position of the armies of Nigeria and Niger” in the town of Ghashghar in northeast Borno State, according to a statement released by the terrorist group. ISIS-affiliated Boko Haram killed 20 Nigerian soldiers and wounded dozens more in an attack in the northeastern Borno State. A community leader described the surprise attack on the Nigerian military as they were ‘taken off guard.’ “Boko Haram launched an attack with heavy guns and rocket-propelled grenades on the soldiers. The attackers came in eight vehicles,” said the leader, who was speaking on condition of anonymity. “The soldiers suffered huge casualties because they were taken off-guard. They never anticipated such an attack,” he added.

Somali police say at least seven are dead after hours of clashes as Somali and African Union troops pushed back al-Shabab extremists from a town near Mogadishu. The attacks in Afgoye started when a suicide bomber detonated an explosives-laden vehicle near a Somali police station and African Union base. Gunmen then attacked military bases. Capt. Abdullahi Ali, a senior Somali military officer, says troops have now fully secured the town and the extremists have fled.

A police van has rammed protesters in the Philippines capital Manila as a demonstration outside the US embassy turned violent. Footage showed protesters surrounding the van and hitting it with batons taken from police. The vehicle then drives into the crowd several times, injuring a number of people. Hundreds had met to demand the US end its military presence in the country. President Rodrigo Duterte has queried long-standing ties with the US. Police arrested at least 23 people, who threw red paint at them and a member of the US forces at the embassy. Tear gas was used against the demonstrators, after they broke through a line of riot police. They also took control of the water hose of a fire truck being used to douse them and threw stones at police. It remains unclear how many people were injured by the police van and how serious their injuries are.

The Marine Corps have revealed plans to station a detachment of the hard-nosed troopers a stone’s throw from the Motherland. Soldiers and gear are primed to be shipped to military bases in Russia’s neighbour Norway as tensions between the two superpowers are feared to be verging on total conflict. Marines took part in war games in the Scandinavian nation earlier this year as they drilled winter warfare skills in exercises along the Russian border. Major General Niel E. Nelson, commander of US Marine Corps Forces Europe, said: “We enjoy a very close relationship with the Norwegian Armed Forces and a limited rotational presence in Norway would certainly enhance this relationship and our ability to operate together. “If approved by the Norwegian government, a Marine Corps presence in Norway will increase NATO’s ability to rapidly aggregate and employ forces in northern Europe.” Relations between Russia and the US have nosedived to levels “more dangerous” than the Cold War as there are fears the civil war in Syria could erupt into “global war”.

The United States and South Korea agreed on Wednesday to step up military and diplomatic efforts to counter North Korea’s nuclear and missile programs, saying they posed a “grave” security threat following repeated tests this year. After talks in Washington between their foreign and defense ministers, the countries said they had agreed to set up a high-level Extended Deterrence Strategy and Consultation Group to leverage “the full breadth of national power – including diplomacy, information, military coordination, and economic elements” in the face of the North Korean threat.

Headline: UN announces 3 day truce in Yemen
Yemeni activists are calling for protests in the Yemeni capital Sanaa to demonstrate against the Houthi militias for rejecting to pay the salaries of state employees, Al Arabiya News Channel reported on Wednesday. Activists had made similar calls in the past to protest against Houthi militias in Sanaa and against the deteriorating living conditions. The militias have refused to pay the employees’ salaries at a time when Sanaa citizens lives under harsh conditions under militant forces, who on almost a daily basis, carry out abduction operations against civilians. “Most Yemenis want to put an end to the Houthi-Saleh coup,” Yemen expert and analyst Ibraham al-Qatabi told Al Arabiya English, referring to the deposed president Ali Abdullah Saleh, allied with the Houthi militias. “The resentment against Saleh and Houthis continues to grow everyday even within their hardcore supporters.” “No Yemeni citizen wants to be ruled by a militia and warlords. Everyone knows Saleh and Houthis are not going to last and that’s what the current situation, indicators and history of Yemen tell us,” Qatabi said.

Headline: Study: 1 in 2 American Adults Already In Facial Recognition Network
Half of all American adults are already in some sort of facial recognition network accessible to law enforcement, according to a comprehensive new study. Conducted over a year and relying in part on Freedom of Information and public record requests to 106 law enforcement agencies, the study, conducted by Georgetown Law’s Center on Privacy and Technology, found American police use of facial recognition technology is a scattered, hodgepodge network of laws and regulations. “Looking at the sum total of what we found, there have been no laws that comprehensively regulate face recognition technology, and there’s really no case law either,” Clare Garvie, an associate at the CPT, told Vocativ. “So we find ourselves having to rely on the agencies that are using that technology to rein it in. But what we found is that not every system — by a long shot — has a use policy.” That so many American adults are in at least one facial recognition database is largely due to the fact that at least 26 states, and likely more, share their Department of Motor Vehicles databases with the FBI, state police, or other law enforcement agencies, the study found. Compounded with that, police often have access to mugshot databases. Garvie’s study found that most law enforcement agencies don’t purge such records, even if the arrested suspect is found not guilty, unless a court orders it. The sole known exception is the Michigan State Police, which does expunge photos after a set amount of time.

Headline: Saudis, China Dump Treasuries; Foreign Central Banks Liquidate A Record $346 Billion In US Paper
One month ago, when we last looked at the Fed’s update of Treasuries held in custody, we noted something troubling: the number dropped sharply, declining by over $27.5 billion in one week, the biggest weekly drop since January 2015, pushing the total amount of custodial paper to $2.83 trillion, the lowest since 2012. One month later, we refresh this chart and find that in the latest weekly update, foreign central banks continued their relentless liquidation of US paper held in the Fed’s custody account, which tumbled by another $22.3 billion in the past week, pushing the total amount of custodial paper to $2.805 trillion, another fresh post-2012 low. Then today, in addition to the Fed’s custody data, we also got the latest monthly Treasury International Capital data, which showed that the troubling trend presented last one month ago, has accelerated. Recall that a month ago, we reported that in the latest 12 months we have observed a not so stealthy, in fact quite massive $343 billion in Treasury selling by foreign central banks in the period July 2015- July 2016, something truly unprecedented in size and scope. Fast forward to today when in the latest monthly update, that of July, we find that what until a month ago was “merely” a record $343 billion in offshore central bank sales in the LTM period ending July 30, one month later this number has risen to a new all time high $346.4 billion, or well over a third of a trillion in Treasuries sold in the past 12 months.

Headline: Bank closes down RT’s accounts in Britain
Iceland would welcome Britain, its biggest trading partner, back into the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), Icelandic Foreign Minister Lilja Alfredsdottir said on Wednesday in London. “The EFTA countries might make an agreement with the UK,” she said. “We are chairing the EFTA right now and I put it as a priority to analyse the possibilities that EFTA had on this front.” Alfredsdottir emphasised the importance of Iceland’s trade ties with Britain. “The UK is our largest trading partner – 11 percent of our exports and imports go to this market,” she said at a talk at the London School of Economics when asked about British-Icelandic relations after Britain’s vote to leave the European Union. She said an agreement with EFTA was one of three possibilities for Iceland-British relations after Brexit. The other two were a bilateral agreement with Britain, and an agreement with European Economic Area (EEA) countries. Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland make up the EFTA trade organisation and free trade area which is also part of the European single market and the EEA. Britain was a co-founder of EFTA in 1960 and left in 1972 to join what was then the European Economic Community.

Aid agencies are sounding the alarm about severe food insecurity throughout northern Cameroon as a result of the Boko Haram conflict. This month, 70 children suffering from malnutrition have needed medical attention at the Minawao refugee camp. However, says nurse Irene Mbarga, the hospital has limited resources to treat them. The families are not able to provide enough food, she says, and malnutrition is making other health conditions worse. Mbarga told VOA that about three quarters of the cases the hospital sees are related to malnutrition. When the hospital is running short on supplies, she says, the staff can only provide first aid.

Acute respiratory infections are circulating in flood-hit regions of North Korea. The World Health Organization said in a recently issued report on the North Korea floods that the number of patients suffering from the diseases continued to escalate in early October, Voice of America reported. The region most affected is North Hamgyong Province in the country’s northeast. Acute respiratory infections began spreading in early September after massive flooding occurred from Aug. 29 to Sept. 2, around the same time the number of children in North Korea suffering from diarrheal diseases quadrupled. Severe acute malnutrition is also on the rise for children under age 5, according to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.

Headline: Chicago Records Largest Mass Shooting Since 2014 As Violent Crime Spikes Again
Headline: War on Cops Surges in California
Violence in Chicago spiked over the weekend as, according to the Chicago Tribune, the city recorded its largest mass shooting since 2014. In total, 8 people were murdered in just this past weekend and another 40 were wounded. In total, 605 people have been murdered in Chicago so far in 2016, a staggering 45% increase versus last year, while 3,475 people have been shot versus only 2,441 a year ago. A single attack Friday night in East Garfield Park killed one man and left six others wounded, according to police. The people were standing together in the 3300 block of West Maypole Street when someone opened fire from a black vehicle, police said. An attack of that scale has not occurred in Chicago since 2014, when seven people — including several young teens — were shot in Lawndale. The Maypole shooting capped off an exceptionally deadly night on the West Side. Less than a half-hour before, two men were fatally shot in a South Austin drive-by, police said. About an hour before that, an 18-year-old man was killed in West Garfield Park. But shootings occurred in nearly every corner of Chicago over the weekend, from a fatal attack in West Rogers Park to a shooting in Morgan Park near the southern border. A man was shot Sunday afternoon near the 95th Street Red Line CTA station, where he ran after being hit in the shoulder. Overall, six people were killed and 14 were wounded from Friday afternoon to Saturday morning; from Saturday morning to Sunday morning, one person was killed and 17 were wounded; and from Sunday to just past midnight Monday, one person was killed and at least nine others were wounded. Many people have attributed the rise in Chicago violence to the co-called “Ferguson Effect” in which criminals lash out against what they view as a “de-legitamized” police force while the police retreat from actually enforcing the law out of fear of inciting the next major riot.

Headline: After-School Satan Club Spreads…
The national movement is attempting to establish a dozen After School Satan Clubs across the country. Local chapters have applied for space at public grade schools in cities including Atlanta, Detroit, Washington, Portland, Ore., Tacoma, Wash., Salt Lake City, Tucson, and Los Angeles. The clubs are all seeking school district approval, with the Atlanta-area club saying it hopes to hold its first meeting by Halloween. The Los Angeles Unified School District appears to be the only school district to outright reject the club. In response to a Los Angeles Times inquiry Monday, the district issued a statement stating the club proposed for Chase Elementary School in Panorama City “does not meet the minimum requirement of having the school’s approval and, therefore, will not be offered at the school.” That rejection could lead to a legal challenge. The Christians may have the force of Heaven behind them, but the Satanists have the U.S. Supreme Court.

An icy planet with a staggering 20,000-year orbit has been discovered passing through our solar system, leading to the re-emergence of theories touting the existence of the fabled and mystical Planet 9. No object has ever been seen doing this. L91, as the icy rock is called, is an enigma defying previously established gravitational patterns, and its discovery has added to mounting evidence that there are gravitational disruptions going on beyond what we can see, according to scientists working on the Outer Solar System Origins Survey. At present, scientists still can’t determine L91’s size, and have conflicting views on what is disrupting its orbit. Although L91 orbits our solar system’s sun, it never comes closer than 50 astronomical units, and at its farthest extreme it is a whopping 1,430AU (100 billion miles) away. Each AU equals the distance between the Sun and Earth.

Super Typhoon Haima hit the northeast Philippines on Wednesday, bringing gusts of nearly 200 mph — days after Typhoon Sarika killed three people in the Pacific island nation. The storm hit land near Peñablanca late Wednesday as the equivalent of a Category 4 hurricane, forecasters said, and was expected to pass over or near Ilocos Norte and Apayao. Haima has brought maximum sustained winds of about 140 mph with gusts of 195 mph to the islands. The most severe tropical cyclone warning has been issued for the provinces of Cagayan, Isabela, Kalinga and Apayao in the Luzon island. Philippine authorities have warned against sea travel, adding that Haima’s winds could cause “very heavy damage” to structures and could lead to the “complete roof failure on many residences and industrial buildings.” Haima is forecast to head toward China’s coast after passing through the Philippines.
