Egypt 'will not allow' new war on Gaza

EL-ARISH, Egypt (Ma'an) -- Egyptian security officials have expressed concerns after recent violence in Gaza despite Cairo's efforts to secure a truce between Israel and Palestinian factions.
Security officials said Wednesday that Egypt "will not allow" a renewed Israeli operation against Gaza, in light of changes since the ouster of Hosni Mubarak, seen as supportive of Israel.
The Egyptian people refuse to accept Israel's "wide scale aggression" and the military council and Egyptian security forces would not be able to prevent regular citizens from going toward the border, they said.
Separately, security officials have also said that two Palestinian rockets landed south of Rafah during the latest flare up in violence in which 12 members of Islamic Jihad's armed wing and an Israeli civilian died.

Israel, U.S. to embark on largest joint exercise in allies' history

Israel and the U.S. will embark on the 'largest' and 'most significant' joint exercise in the allies' history, said Andrew Shapiro, U.S. assistant secretary for political-military affairs, on Saturday.
Speaking to the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, Shapiro said the exercise will involve more than 5,000 U.S. and Israeli forces, and will simulate Israel's ballistic missile defense.
'Joint exercises allow us to learn from Israel's experience in urban warfare and counterterrorism,' said Shapiro.
'Israeli technology is proving critical to improving our Homeland Security and protecting our troops,' he added, explaining that Israeli armor plating technology and the specially designed 'Israeli bandage', being used on American troops in Afghanistan and Iraq, are proven successes.
In addition, he said, Israel will soon gain access to an expedited Congressional Notification process, which will allow for faster trade of smaller, routine sales and purchases of arms between the allies. Countries already subject to expedited Congressional Notification processes are NATO members, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand.
Shapiro emphasized the Obama Administration's support for Israel, despite comments by a senior U.S. official on Friday, who expressed concern that Israel would not warn the U.S. before taking military action against Iran's nuclear facilities.
'Our security relationship with Israel is broader, deeper and more intense than ever before,' said Shapiro, adding that Israel's military edge was a 'top priority' for himself, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and U.S. President Barack Obama.
The U.S. has a $3 billion per year commitment to Israel, which Shapiro said the Obama Administration would continue to honor over the next ten years, 'even in challenging budgetary times'.
Speaking of the economic impact of the U.S.-Israeli relationship, Shapiro said it was important to note that U.S. security assistance to Israel helps support American jobs, since the 'vast majority of security assistance' is spent on American-made goods and services. 'We don't provide assistance out of charity. We provide assistance because it benefits our security,' he said.
'We support Israel because it is in our national interests to do so,' said Shapiro, echoing the recent report by the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, entitled, 'Israel: A Strategic Asset for the United States', which argues that Israel is a strategic asset to the U.S. 'If Israel were weaker, its enemies would be bolder. This would make broader conflict more likely, which would be catastrophic to American interests in the region. It is the very strength of Israel's military which deters potential aggressors and helps foster peace and stability.'

Hareidi Fury over Trajtenberg 'Blood Libel'

Hareidi-religious MKs outraged: Trajtenberg targets hareidi community without offering solutions.

Statements by Trajtenberg Committee head Manuel Trajtenberg are nothing short of a blood libel against the hareidi-religious community, says MK Rabbi Yisrael Eichler, head of the United Torah Judaism (UTJ) party.
'Prime Minister Netanyahu's emissary portrayed us as a community that does not share the burden, does not work and does not pay taxes,' he said.
Trajtenberg ignored the problems facing hareidim who want to work, he continued. Referencing the Bible, he said, 'We haven't been given straw, and they tell us to make bricks.'
One major issue facing the community is the government's refusal to recognize hareidi-religious education as equivalent to secular education, he explained. Hareidi workers are blocked from higher positions due to demands for 'irrelevant academic degrees,' he argued, while the 'rigorous' training provided at hareidi institutes of higher learning such as women's seminaries is ignored.
...The government relies on hareidi support, but does not leave community members with job options, 'not in the banks, not in clinics, not in high tech,' he said.
Eichler argued that the number of hareidi men who learn Torah full-time once they have reached the age when most Israeli men are working is 'relatively tiny.' Those who are the real burden on public resources are 'the army of bureaucrats and academics who give nothing to the economy,' he said. 'These extraneous bureaucrats cost the taxpayer billions of shekels in salaries each year,' he added.
Torah learners, on the other hand, are supported largely through donations, not taxpayer money, he noted. Much of the money they are given goes to the government in the form of sales tax, he added.
Eichler said the reason for Trajtenberg's accusations appears to be a desire to defend the government against criticism. 'It's a known Czarist trick, 'hit the hareidim and save your government from the rage of the masses,'' he said.
5. 5% of US Whites Are Probably Jewish!

There are a lot more Jews in the United States than you realize

the-united-states-that-you-realize.html
Extracts:
The number commonly tossed around for the percent of Jews in the United State is 2%. Indeed, when I used the RELIG variable in the GSS for the survey years 2000-2008, 1.9% of respondents said they were Jewish. However, the RELIG16 variable, which asks in what religion the respondent was raised, 2.1% were raised Jewish.
Yes, when we count the number of Jewish people, we are counting the number of people who say that Judaism is their religion.
However, the way that White Nationalists look at Jews, as a race and not a religion, there are actually a lot more Jews in the United States. Approximately 40% of Jews marry non-Jews, and in those cases, the children are raised Jewish only one-third of the time (see this NY Times article). Furthermore, a much larger percentage of people with Jewish ancestry report not having any religion at all. Thus, the number of people in the United States with some Jewish ancestry is a lot greater than 2%, probably more like 4%, which would be more like 5% of the country's white population.
