This issue looks at the upcoming UN vote on Palestinian statehood, Israel’s missle defense system, the State Department’s dissing of Beck’s pro-Israel rally, another absurd leftist claim, the growing push for Shariah in America, the upcoming American “Day of Rage,” Syria’s dirty bomb threat, and the Copenhagen Climate Council’s real agenda.

Israeli Diplomat Sees Easy Passage of Palestinian State Vote
Jerusalem Prayer Team reports: Ron Proser, Israel’s top UN diplomat, has issued a gloomy assessment of the upcoming vote on Palestinian statehood. He estimates that more than 130 of the 193 members of the UN will vote in favor, and that most nations that oppose the plan will not have the courage to vote against it but will instead abstain. Proser’s conclusions are drawn from meetings with more than sixty other diplomats and the extensive talks Israel has been conducting to attempt to lessen support for the plan.

Israeli officials said the country’s two batteries of Iron Dome missile interceptors shot down Russian-made Grad and Qassam rockets fired from Gaza positions by smaller terrorist groups such as the Popular Resistance Committees and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

Muslims against pending legislation that would ban Michigan courts from considering “foreign laws” – including Sharia, or Islamic law. Muslim and community leaders gathered Tuesday in Midtown to denounce legislation from state Rep. Dave Agema, R-Grandville, as divisive, unnecessary and mean-spirited. “This plan goes against our country’s core values of accepting people from all races and walks of life,” said state Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Detroit, who is Muslim. “We simply cannot move forward with this plan. “It’s racism at its core.” Read more.

Syrian Dirty Bomb Threat Grows
Jerusalem Prayer Team reports: A frightening report from Israel’s Ambassador to the US Michael Oren raised the specter that the tottering Assad regime in Syria might lose control of its extensive stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons to Hezbollah terrorists. The Assad government is believed to have killed at least 3,000 of its own people and tortured and injured tens of thousands more in its desperate attempt to cling to power.
The Syrian stockpiles are missile-ready-and Hezbollah already has highly accurate D-class Scud missiles capable of striking any city in Israel. They would simply need to put the two together-a matter of a couple hours of work, and they could launch an attack using deadly Sarin nerve gas, mustard gas, or one of the other illegal chemical weapons Assad is known to possess. As you read the news reports from the Middle East, keep in mind that in many cases, a brutal dictator is being overthrown but replaced by even more radical enemies of Israel.
