5. Rice: This is not 1938; we are facing down Iran - Jerusalem Newswire
The slow and still ineffective international efforts to coerce Iran into halting its nuclear program are not the same as the world's policy of appeasement toward Nazi Germany in 1938, insisted US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Sunday. In an interview with Ha'aretz, Rice rejected Likud leader Binyamin Netanyahu's constant comparing of the two failed diplomatic campaigns. "I am fond of historical analogies, but not that fond," said Rice.
Rice and the US continue to hold out hope that Iran can be prevented from obtaining nuclear weapons via diplomatic negotiations. Netanyahu and other right- thinking Israelis have come to the realization that the international community's pandering has only emboldened Tehran.
6. Temple Mount Pedestrian Bridge Being Built - End - Time Handmaidens
Israel is attempting to rebuild a pedestrian bridge leading up to the Temple Mount. The original bridge was severely weakened by heavy rains and an earthquake. Underneath this bridge lies a small dirt mound. It is this area which has now become the focal point of worldwide Muslim protests. This mound lies some 300 yards away from the Temple Mount. It is also thought by Israeli archeologists to be rich in artifacts which may date to the Temple period. Islam though denies that any Jewish Temple was ever built at this site and basically is trying to use the desecration of the Al-Aksa Mosque as an excuse to extend its sovereignity over the Western Wall area.
• Pray that Israeli officials will have sufficient backbone to not give in to Islamic threats. Pray that this excavation work will continue. Pray that a new bridge will be built in this area, so Jews and Gentiles will once more have access to the Temple Mount.
