2. With Friends like This ... Divide Jerusalem and expel the Jews from Judea and Samaria #1075
June 25, 2008 | By: Eli Hertz
French President Nicolas Sarkozy asked the Knesset on Monday, June 23, 2008 to recognize that "France will always be Israel's friend" and then called for the division of Jerusalem and the expulsion of the Jews from parts of their National Home in Judea and Samaria.
The current Israeli government seems to have difficulties educating its guest as to the history of the Jewish people and remind him that on July 24, 1922, France, as a member of the League of Nations recognized |

June 23, 2008 | By: K.Boyko
A suspicious package was found outside a synagogue in Montgomery County. Police were called to investigate. The package was a cardboard box labled Hatfield Bacon Strips.
The box was examined by investigators and was determined to be bacon strips just as the box indicated. It is unknown if this was accidental, a prank, or a precursor to something more significant. The investigation is continuing.
This has been sent to keep the greater Jewish community informed and to remind organizations to remain vigilant in the awareness of suspicious situations and packages. |

5. A Truce Agreement with Hamas following "A Failure worse than the Second Lebanon War" #1072

A Truce Agreement with Hamas following
"A Failure worse than the Second Lebanon War"
June 20, 2008 | Guest: Dr. Joel Fishman
On Tuesday evening, June 17th, the Egyptian government announced that a truce agreement between Israel and the Hamas in Gaza would commence at 6 A.M. on Thursday, June 19. This understanding means essentially that Israel indirectly recognizes and is negotiating with a terrorist organization dedicated to its destruction. Earlier in the week, there were acrimonious debates and exchanges of recriminations regarding the question whether or not Israel should enter Gaza with massive armed force in order to bring an end to acts of terror which include the launching rockets and mortars against the civilian population of the Western Negev and of Askelon. On June 16 the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement informing the public that "the very fact that Hamas carried out a violent coup against the more pragmatic Palestinian Authority, led by Abu Mazen, proves that they are not willing to participate in the process of achieving peace throu gh compromise between Israel and the Palestinian Authority that was sarted in 1993 with the Oslo Accords."
Dr. Joel Fishman is a Fellow of a research center in Jerusalem.

6. The Fifth Generation Warfare #1071

The Fifth Generation Warfare
By Dr. Rachel Ehrenfeld and Alyssa A. Lappen
FrontPageMagazine.com | 6/20/2008
[From Armed Groups: Studies in National Security, Counterterrorism, and Counterinsurgency; Edited by Jeffrey Norwitz; U.S. Naval War College, June 2008, chapter 28.]
The United States and the West cannot win the war against radical Islam merely with the most sophisticated military strategies. Winning requires understanding the role of shari'a and the Muslim Brotherhood in developing a global ideological and political movement supported by a parallel "Islamic" financial system to exploit and undermine Western economies and markets. This movement is the foundation and the major funding source for the political, economic, and military initiatives of the global Islamic movement.1
Shari'a finance is a new weapon in the arsenal of what might be termed fifth-generation warfare (5GW).2 The perpetrators include both states and organizations, advancing a global totalitarian ideology disguised as a religion. The end goal is to impose that ideology worldwide, making the Islamic "nation," or ummah, supreme.3
Rising oil prices and the West's dependency on Middle East oil, combined with willful blindness and political correctness, provide a surge of petrodollars, making financial and economic jihad so much easier to carry out. Moreover, according to shari'a, Muslims hold all property in trust for Allah.4 Therefore, under the shari'a, all current and historic Muslim acquisitions everywhere, including the United States, belong to the ummah, in trust for Allah.
Dr. Rachel Ehrenfeld is author of Funding Evil; How Terrorism is Financed and How to Stop It. She is director of the American Center for Democracy and member of the Committee on the Present Danger. Alyssa A. Lappen, Senior Fellow at the ACD, is a former editor for Forbes, Corporate Finance, Working Woman and Institutional Investor.
