The Judaism Site Pierre Rousselin Les négociations avec l'Iran sur le dossier nucléaire approchent de leur dénouement. A quelques jours de la date butoir du 24 novembre, les spéculations vont bon train. Parviendra-t-on à régler les questions en suspens ? En l'absence d'un accord final, les tractations seront-elles à nouveau prolongées ? Quelles que soient les critiques que l'on peut porter aux négociations en cours, notamment sur le fait qu'elles ne concernent que le nucléaire, et pas le comportement déstabilisateur de l'Iran dans la région, leur conclusion, dans un sens ou dans l'autre, sera un événement d'une portée historique. En cas d'accord, l'équilibre stratégique de la région sera bouleversé. Un an après le début des pourparlers, six mois après une première extension, et dans le contexte d'une déstabilisation croissante du Moyen Orient, les deux parties ont intérêt à trouver un accord. Tout accord implique des concessions de part et d'autre. En dernière analyse, la décision sera politique.

Our Jerusalem.com - By Herb Keinon, Margot Dudkevitch, and Janine Zacharia JERUSALEM (April 18) – The IDF late last night began pulling out of the positions in Gaza that it reoccupied Monday night, with an official in the Prime Minister’s Office saying that it was because “the mission was completed.” Various IDF officers said throughout yesterday that the goal of the operation had been to push Sderot out of mortar range. An IDF statement last night said that, after completing its mission, the IDF was pulling its forces out of the Gaza Strip and redeploying them to their previous positions. It added that the IDF views the Palestinian Authority as being directly responsible for what occurs in the area and expects it to prevent all terror activities, especially shooting at Israeli communities, civilians, and soldiers. The withdrawal came within hours of a statement issued by US Secretary of State Colin Powell calling on Israel to pull back its troops.

Liberals Try to Remove Anti-Obama Signs in New Orleans It's a story as old as time. Liberal comes across speech they don't like. Liberal does everything it can to silence said speech . (h/t Fox Nation ) Did you catch all that? A New Orleans resident posted a couple signs on his own private property criticizing President Obama. In fact, city councilwoman Susan Guidry questions this guy's expression of his opinion so much that she openly admits that she will try to use ANY technicality she can find to squash it. Now, I'm not positive what country, or planet for that matter, these liberals live on but I've always been under the impression that here in America freedom of speech was a protected right given to us by God and protected from infringement by the Constitution. If this attack on free speech goes unabated and succeeds it will be yet another dark day for our country.
