American Support

New Poll Shows American Support For Israel At Near-Record High

2/24/2010 1:47 PM ET

(RTTNews) - A new Gallup poll released Wednesday showed that 63% of Americans say their sympathies in the Middle East situation lie more with the Israelis than with the Palestinians, a near record high for U.S. support for Israel.

The poll, which surveyed 1,025 adults February 1 - 3, also showed that only 15% said their sympathies lie with the Palestinians. Another 23% either support both sides equally or don't support either side at all.

The percent favoring Israel is the highest since 1991, when 64% said they supported Israel shortly after it was hit by Iraqi Scud missiles during the Gulf War. Support for the Palestinians remained around the levels it has been at since 1988.

Support for Israel among Republicans has been steadily rising since 2001, when 60% said they favored Israel compared to the 85% who said they favor Israel in the latest poll.
Among Democrats, support is down slightly from 2001 levels; 51% favored Israel in 2001 compared to 48% in the latest poll. Among Independents, support for Israel jumped from 42% in 2001 to 60% in the latest poll.

In addition, the poll found that 67% of those surveyed favor Israeli authority in the region compared to just 20% who favor Palestinian authority.

Only 30% of respondents felt that there would come a time when the Israelis and Palestinians can live in peace, the second-lowest percentage in the last 13 years.

Hezbollah in north, Hamas in south

IDF practices 2-front war

Senior officers complete drill involving war against Hezbollah in north, Hamas in south

02.25.10, 19:19 / Israel News

Israel prepares for possibility of two-front war: The IDF completed Thursday a broad command-level drill that examined the readiness of various army branches for the possibility of a two-front war.

The exercise, which involved both regular and reserve forces, focused on various combat scenarios in the north and simulated developments that included a Hezbollah missile attack combined with massive rocket fire from Gaza targeting strategic and national facilities.

The exercise focused on decision-making processes among senior officers, rather than tactical training sessions on the ground. Among other things, the drill examined combat methods and cooperation procedures among land, air, and naval forces.

The exercise also looked into the IDF's ability to engage in combat on several fronts in terms of logistics, intelligence, and PR, along with the need to address the home front and maintain ongoing dialogue with the political echelon.

IDF officials said the exercise was meant to implement the lessons of previous campaigns, and mostly the Second Lebanon War and Operation Cast Lead.

'No interest in escalation'

IDF Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi managed ongoing assessment sessions during the drill and also visited various sites involved in it. Meanwhile, Defense Minister Ehud Barak and members of the Knesset Defense and Foreign Affairs Committee observed the exercise, received briefings, and took part in assessment sessions.

"Israel has no interest in seeing escalation in the region, yet we closely monitor developments and make sure to maintain a prepared, deterring, and primed army," Army Chief Ashkenazi said. "The drills enable us to prepare for possible scenarios, improve our readiness, and implement lessons."

Meanwhile, Minister Barak noted that Israel's defense establishment has engaged in much training and preparation work in recent years, but expressed his hope that there would be no need to use the IDF's capabilities.

Presbyterian Church USA Set To Declare Israel Has No Historical Basis As A Jewish State

Amazing

The Presbyterian Church in the United States (PCUSA) is about to release a report which denounces Israel as a “racist” nation which has absolutely no historical, covenantal, or theological right to the Holy Land. The report calls for the United States to withhold financial and military aid to Israel and for boycotts and sanctions against Israel

That’s not all

The report also endorses a Palestinian “right of return” and “apologizes to Palestinians for even conceding that Israel has a right to exist.” According to the press release, it also states that Israel’s history begins only with the Holocaust and that Israel is “a nation mistakenly created by Western powers at the expense of the Palestinian people to solve the ‘Jewish problem’.”

In addition, PCUSA has also resolved to divest in companies that supply military equipment to the American Army, e.g. Boeing, Lockheed-Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, etc.

In 2004, this Church became the first mainline Protestant denomination in America to “approve a policy of divestment from Israel.” This was rescinded, but in 2008 the Church “created a committee dominated by seven activists holding strong anti-Israel beliefs. The lone member sympathetic to Israel, quit in protest when he saw their radical agenda.”

The Simon Wiesenthal Center notes that 46 members of the US Congress and Senate are Presbyterians and fears potentially “significant repercussions in the political domain” as well as a negative “impact on interfaith relations.” They urge us all to protest directly to the top leadership of the PCUSA “to stop this dangerous campaign which denies the legitimacy and security of Israel,” and to “reach out to your Presbyterian friends.”

Christian/Jewish Coalition Reacts to UCC's Anti-Israel Resolutions

By Jim Brown
July 12, 2005

(AgapePress) - Evangelical and Jewish leaders are condemning a move by the United Church of Christ (UCC) to divest from companies that do business with Israel, and are vowing to ramp up their anti-divestment activities as a result of that decision.

At its General Synod last month in Atlanta, the UCC passed a resolution approving divestment [PDF] as a means of "economic leverage" to promote peace between Israel and the Palestinians. The UCC also overwhelmingly approved a resolution calling for Israel to tear down its security barrier [PDF] protecting against Palestinian terrorists. The denomination describes that barrier as "visually, physically, psychologically and spiritually offensive" to the Palestinian people. Of those resolutions, Rabbi Abraham Cooper of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles says theUCC is holding Israel to a different standard than the rest of the world -- and that the divestment measure will only promote violence and embolden terrorists.

George Mamo is executive vice president of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. He says racist decisions by mainline Protestant denominations like the UCC have prompted many Evangelicals to increase their support for the Jewish state.

"It really does seem that Evangelicals are stepping up to the plate even more as the mainline [denominations] are retreating," Mamo observes. "But you know what we're really looking for? We're looking for that denomination that's going to step up and say: 'You know what? The Presbyterians are divesting, the United Church of Christ is divesting, the Methodists are considering divesting, Anglicans are considering divesting -- but our denomination is going to invest.'"

In concert with that search, the IFCJ is calling on mainline Protestant denominations to reject anti-Semitic divestment campaigns, and instead increase the direct investments they make in Israel.

"We haven't heard of anybody that's considering [increasing their investments], but we're ready on our side," says Mamo. "We've already drafted resolutions if they want help there; we can help them identify the companies that should be invested in -- and we're monitoring ... when different denominations are meeting. We're just hoping and praying that somebody's going to step up and take that bold step."

Mamo's group will be recognizing two individuals this fall who have taken bold pro-Israel stances. At a special event on September 28 in Washington, DC, the IFCJ plans to honor former New York Mayor Rudy Guiliani and Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman for their long-time support of Israel.

At its meeting last month, the UCC General Synod also passed a resolution approving same-sex "marriage." The denomination offered its support for so-called "marriage equality" by advocating ecclesiastical changes and legislative efforts to extend full rights and responsibilities to homosexual couples now enjoyed by heterosexual couples.

TREACHERY ! It is in your DNA !

Report: Hamas founder's son worked for Israel

By Kevin Flower, CNN

Mosab Hassan Yousef in an undated photo, is the father of reported Shin Bet informant .

Jerusalem (CNN) -- The son of a Hamas official worked for Israeli intelligence and was the Jewish state's "most valuable source in the militant organization's leadership," a news report said Wednesday.

The Israeli newspaper Haaretz said Mosab Hassan Yousef, 32, son of the Palestinian Islamic movement Hamas founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef, was an informant for Israel's domestic security service known as the Shin Bet, beginning in 1997. He had been recruited while serving time in prison.

The information Yousef passed on was considered so important and saved so many lives that his Shin Bet handlers gave him the nickname "The Green Prince," a reference to his relation to the Hamas founder and the color of the movement's flag.

Yousef was instrumental in the arrest of a number of top Palestinian officials, including Fatah leader Marwan Barghouti and Hamas military wing members Abdullah Barghouti and Ibrahim Hamid, the report said.

The report is based on Haaretz's interview with Yousef and on excerpts from his soon-to-be-released memoir called "Son of Hamas."

In 2007, Yousef left the region for the United States and spoke publicly about his conversion to Christianity and his renunciation of Hamas.

In the Haaretz article, a former Israeli handler described Yousef as being so valuable that he deserved to win the Israel security prize.

"His grasp of intelligence matters was just as good as ours -- the ideas, the insights," said the handler identified as Capt. Loai in Yousef's book, Haaretz reported. "One insight of his was worth 1,000 hours of thought by top experts," he is quoted as saying.

Gideon Ezra, a former Shin Bet chief who stepped down before Yousef was reportedly recruited, said it was unusual for one informant to pass on information "on so many acts of terror" and characterized the case as an exception.

"I don't know anyone who was in the Hamas and who became a Christian. But only because he went to the United States and became a Christian did he write such a book. Because I don't think an agent here would do the same," Ezra said.

Ezra said the Shin Bet -- also known as the Shabak -- has hundreds of agents providing information. "I don't think that he is the only one who helped the Shabak," he said.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office, which speaks publicly for the Shin Bet, refused to comment.

In a phone interview, Yousef told Haaretz that he was speaking out about his informant activities as a means of sending a message of peace to Israel.

"Hamas cannot make peace with the Israelis," Yousef is quoted as saying, "That is against what their God tells them. It is impossible to make peace with infidels. ... The Hamas leadership is responsible for the killing of Palestinians, not Israelis."

Yousef also expressed regret that much of his work with the Shin Bet could be undone by a deal to release Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, whom Hamas captured in 2006.

"I wish I were in Gaza now," the paper quotes him. "I would put on an army uniform and join Israel's special forces in order to liberate Gilad Shalit. If I were there, I could help. We wasted so many years with investigations and arrests to capture the very terrorists that they now want to release in return for Shalit. That must not be done."

A Hamas member of Parliament in Gaza, Mushir al-Masri, told CNN the report amounted to "psychological war being waged against the Palestinian people" and that it "did not deserve a response."

Ouwais Yousef, Mosab's brother, said the family had not spoken with Mosab for more than a year. Asked about the Haaretz report, the brother said, "It was full of lies -- it's all lies."

His father, Sheikh Yousef, is serving time in an Israeli prison. An attorney for the elder Yousef obtained a statement from the father saying Hamas knew of his son's contact with Israeli intelligence and adding that he "was not on any day an active member in the ranks of Hamas, in the wings of the movement. ..."

According to the statement, the elder Yousef said, "Since in 1996, when he was 17 years of age, he was subjected to a blackmail and pressure from Israeli intelligence. When it was revealed from that date, the members of the movement were informed about him, and [he] was under the control of his father and the movement, and what has been published of activities he has done against the movement and its mujahedeens and others from the Palestinian people is an outright lie and baseless lie, and there is not one single evidence against him because his relationship with his father was a family relationship only."

If you value freedom & liberty

Bad Jews, a Weak America and the Fight for Freedom

The assassination of Mahmoud Al Mabhouh a key leader in the Hamas an Islamic terror organization whose goal is to murder Jews, Americans and destroy both Israel and America as well as to dominate Europe and the whole world with Islam; we find the good guys are condemned by the other so called good guys and the bad guys get a pass from the same so called good guys.

The duplication and fraudulent use of passports is standard procedure by any spy agency looking to do subversive work in defense of their country. I can imagine how upsetting it must be for anti Israel Ireland who has always had the most aggressive negative diplomatic policy towards Israel both in the EU and the UN. As for Britain and France they might scream and shout but their days of power and leverage in the international community are well past. Ever since Margaret Thatcher left office Britain has never shown any real backbone in strong positions regarding liberty and freedom. France is a laughing stock to us in America when it comes to any backbone. Multicultural wishy-washy socialist elitism always blinds peoples reasoning, especially when it comes to that issue of liberty and freedom.

When Israel destroyed the Iraqi nuclear reactor the world condemned them but in hindsight they should have been thanked but never were. The Western governments appease and cower from the threat of Iran, because of the fear of hurting their wallets. To strong arm Iran might cause a major economic downturn if the oil supply was affected; so let us be frank, we value our wealth before we value our freedom.

Samuel Adams one of the leading statesmen and founding fathers specifically warned "If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."

The majority of the people of the United States voted for President Obama who wished to engage a nation that denies the holocaust, threatens the world with terrorism, and seeks nuclear bombs. This was President Obama's clear policy before he was elected. This is a reflection of a country that has lost its way. Pray we redeem are freedom loving thinking once more.

If we as a nation value popularity over freedom, appeasement over strength and folly over courage, we not only will have war we will have poverty too, both poverty of the soul and economic poverty, as not dealing effectively with Iran will get us war if not now later with a much more terrible result. The words of Churchill ring true once more "We had to choose between war and dishonor, we have chosen dishonor and we will get war."

Israel has always had to deal with Islamic terror, the wars of 1948 and 1967 to destroy Israel were wars to destroy the Jews, and just the same as it was to destroy the Jews by Hitler. The newsreels of the day put out by the Arab countries stated "Slaughter the Jews" the evidence is clear. The West's corrupt behavior regarding their policies on oil and appeasement of despotic regimes because of the black gold has fueled the flames of this conflict when it really is just very simple, defeat evil, develop your own alternative resources of fossil fuels (The US has more energy supplies and is self sufficient if it had the desire to exploit its resources) as well as developing non fossil fuel energies but corruption and evil have overcome virtue and liberty not just for America but for the whole world.

Israel is the scale on G-d's moral compass on how he judges the world. While Israel itself is not perfect and as all human societies has its failings, but it is the country and its people who G-d uses to identify who are with him and who are not, it is that simple.

If you value freedom, liberty and the natural laws of G-d you must fight for those virtues each and every day. Fight for the truth to be heard in public, in our schools and Universities and even today many of our churches and synagogues fail to speak the truth because they also put money, wealth and their fear before freedom. It is up to each one of us who believes in G-d, liberty and freedom to do our part to stand with G-d and Israel so we can take back our Freedom. The devil is hard at work, the righteous need to get up off their butts.

FDI at CPAC

FDI at CPAC: Quick Pics!

“Unofficial” CPAC Event Takes On Islam

February 19, 2010 - 12:33 PM | by: Kelley Beaucar Vlahos

The speakers participating in "Jihad: America's Third Rail," an "unofficial" panel at today's Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) wanted their standing-room only audience to know that there's more to fear than jihad -- it's Islam itself that is the threat.

Sentiments like that are what has made this panel -- which just ended here at the Marriott Wardman Hotel in D.C -- one of the more controversial at the three-day conservative confab.

"Everyone knows Islam is a religion of peace that has been hijacked by a tiny minority," said Robert Spencer, sarcastically and to a great amount of applause and guffaws. Spencer, executive director of Jihad Watch and associate director of the Freedom Defense Initiative, which he recently founded with Atlas Shrugged blogger Pamela Geller, told his audience everyone believes that "like they believe in Santa Claus though no one has ever seen it."

He declared that "conservative media leaders even parrot this line" that Islam is a peaceful religion at its core.

So defined the event, which repeated the group's message, that political correctness was preventing the American people -- elected officials and the government included -- from acknowledging -- in Geller's words -- that Islamists "have infiltrated at every level of society and all levels of government."

Spencer called recent complaints that full body scanners at airports violate the privacy and modesty of Muslim women according to Islamic law and attempts to accommodate them a "perversity," since Muslims "themselves made (scanners) necessary."

Wafa Sultan, author of A God Who Hates, argued that Islam is a tryannical religion and was roundly applauded when she was introduced as a "former Muslim."

Islam is "the very same teaching that drove 19 terrorists to fly planes into the World Trade Center," she said.

Steve Coughlin, who says he was fired from his job as a Pentagon analyst for his un-PC examination of the Koran as a justification for jihad, told the audience that there is no question in his mind that political correctness has undermined the government's strategy in the War on Terror, including its inability to have foreseen the threat from Maj. Nidal Hasan, the Army psychologist is accused of killing 13 people at Fort Hood in November.

Coughlin said the threat of jihad is closer than we think, "you think they (jihadists) are fighting a war there? I think they are fighting a war right here."

Others speakers included Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff, who is being investigated for hate speechAustria for her critical seminars on Islam; Simon Weng, a former slave in Sudan; Anders Gravers, a Dane who wrote Stop the Islamization of Europe; and Lt. Col Allen West (Ret.), a candidate for congress in Florida. in

The event was on CPAC's schedule, but CPAC organizers said it was "unofficial" and sponsored by outside groups. Attendees were asked for picture identification because they did not want "certain people coming in," said one guard. Geller had drawn controversy last year when she attempted to set up a similar forum, officially, featuring Dutch anti-Islamic activist Geert Wilders.

Alex,

The Freedom Defense Initiative, which launched at CPAC today, was a complete success. Absolutely jammed! Atlas Shrugs is carrying some details.

I did sit down with Pamela (Geller) and Robert (Spencer) during the lunch break. I also spoke with both of them -- and with Elisabeth and Wafa -- before the meeting started.

All of the speakers were excellent. Simon Deng brought me to tears, and Allen West had all of us in attendance jumping to our feet to applaud over and over again.

I did phone in briefly to the radio show, but my call got cut off because I was riding the subway home. I hated missing the show today. In fact, I'd have asked Pamela and/or Robert for an on-the-spot interview but for the fact that they were both exhausted after FDI.

One more point: both Pamela and Robert wished Mr. AOW all the best and empathized with our situation here in this household.

Pamela and Robert were, of course, unaware of what we've been going through here -- until today. Now, they understand why I've been "laying low" the past several months.

Not a chance, Muhammad Diyab !

By Muhammad Diyab

A team made up of up to 17 members traveling from four different European countries came to Dubai in order assassinate one man, Palestinian Mahmoud al-Mabhouh. The team used high-tech communication tools and modern procedures in order to accomplish this, however despite all of this Dubai was able, and in just 24 hours, to uncover the tiniest details of their movements since their arrival in Dubai to their departure. This is a remarkable achievement which is in the interests of the security of Dubai, and a good indicator of how modern cities can significantly contribute to their own security with regards to detecting criminals, documenting crime, and providing evidence. This is what compelled me to write my previous article in which I said that no crime goes unpunished in Dubai. The video recording that the Dubai police released on Monday shows that the criminals, despite their professionalism, never imagined they were committing a crime in a city that had all of these capabilities, especially with regards to the surveillance cameras which are omnipresent. None of these criminals imagined that just days after committing this crime their pictures would appear on "Wanted" posters.

Nobody can blame Dubai for failing to prevent this crime. This man knew that he was wanted and was being pursued wherever he went, so how could he go – or indeed how could his organization allow him to go – to Dubai under an alias, and without giving prior notice to the Dubai government who could have ensured suitable protection for him?

( Really? Would you B&B the M/F in your house? )

Therefore the Dubai Police Chief General Dahi Khalfan Tamim has every right to say "Anybody who works behind our back must watch his back." Anybody who watched the video released by the Dubai police cannot help but have noticed how the victim was moving around without protection, and perhaps without caution and vigilance, and this is what caused him to fall into the trap laid by those who came to Dubai from four different countries to assassinate him.

The team consisted of up to ( Magnificent ! ) 17 " criminals " who could not have arrived in Dubai prior to al-Mabhouh (?) unless he was betrayed by one of his own people. Who told the assassins when al-Mabhouh would be arriving in Dubai so that they could wait for him from the moment of his arrival?

There has been an exchange of accusations between Hamas and Fatah with regards to the affiliation of the two Palestinians arrested on suspicion of being involved in this case. We are not concerned here with whether these two Palestinians belong to Fatah or Hamas, and if it is proved that they were involved in the killing this is something that does not change the nature of the tragedy, for there is nothing more painful than treachery.

( You know all about TREACHERY ! It is in you DNA ! You know that you will not die in bed at the age of 120 while sleeping !... Because your SON will 'turn you in' tomorrow !...).

Here the question is; would the international community, or to be more accurate, Interpol have handled the investigation into these criminals in a more professional manner than Dubai, who revealed the names, photographs, nationalities, and movements of those involved? Will we soon see them facing trial or do they have a safe haven protecting them from justice?

Not a chance, Muhammad Diyab !

Feathers will grow on my teeth a Milenium before such a wish will be even printed !!

Wanted by the INTERPOL

INTERPOL issues Red Notices to assist in identification of 12 Dubai murder suspects

LYON, France - INTERPOL has issued Red Notices for 12 internationally-wanted individuals who have been charged by UAE/Dubai authorities with co-ordinating and committing the murder of Palestinian national and Hamas commander Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai on 19 January 2010.

Since INTERPOL has reason to believe that the suspects linked to this murder have stolen the identities of real people, the Red Notices specify that the names used were aliases used to commit murder. INTERPOL has officially made public the photos and the names fraudulently used on the passports in order to limit the ability of accused murderers from traveling freely using the same false passports.

No screw-up in Dubai

Only thing that matters is that al-Mabhouh is dead and his assassins are safe

Eitan Haber

Published:

02.18.10, 19:04 / Israel Opinion

Let's assume for a moment that Mossad operatives indeed executed arch-terrorist Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai. Moreover, let's assume for a moment that the Mossad members who took part in the operation were exposed by the cameras and the photos were published worldwide. So what?

This is not a great screw-up, and those who are happy at this seeming failure have no reason to be so gleeful. I am much happier that we are rid of a bitter and cruel enemy, Mr. Mabhouh, who we sought out for many years before his demise.

So how does the prime minister approve such operation, assuming that the Mossad indeed carried it out? The PM asks himself: In the worst-case scenario, if the operatives are nabbed heaven forbid and end up being hanged in Dubai for example, would the operation still be worthy? Was the objective so vital and important that it merited the death of our agents? If the answer is ?yes,? despite a thousand doubts, the orders are given.

So now this is the question being asked: Was Mabhouh worth the effort and the anxious moments? There is an idiom we commonly use around here about ?being able to replace anyone.? Yet this is not true in Mabhouh?s case.

The fact that the average Israeli did not hear his name until last week doesn?t mean we didn?t know about him. We certainly did, and for many years we were pursuing him ? not only because his connection to the murder of IDF soldiers Avi Sasportas and Ilan Saadon but also because he was the driving force, a great bigwig in the terror world; a man involved in everything.

Headlines disappear quickly

Now, let?s assume for a moment that indeed our Mossad terminated his life, after making great efforts, and that Mossad agents were photographed, and that their photos were seen all around the world. Firstly, we should note that Mossad cells were exposed in the past (in Norway, in Jordan, in New Zealand, in Switzerland, and in Cyprus) and nothing happened. The agents were transferred to office jobs and new ones replaced them.

Secondly, the men and woman in the photographs likely do not look like that in their everyday lives, and even if we can guess what they would look like without a moustache or a beard, or with long or short hair, it would still be difficult to identify them. The identification job would be easier should biometric means be used, yet we can count on the ?Jewish mind? to find a solution for that too.

There are two questions we need to ask in this case: Was the objective ? assassinating Mabhouh ? achieved? The answer is yes. Were the assassins nabbed by the enemy? The answer is no.

As to the usage of passports belonging to Israeli nationals: We should note, in case some people forgot, that such cases happened in the past and also involved foreign citizens in other countries. These stories usually made headlines for only a few days before disappearing. I wonder why.

As to the unpleasant moments vis-?-vis other governments ? Britain, Ireland, and France in this case ? no need to worry. They said what they said yesterday, and will likely not say more. And they have a good reason for that.

Meanwhile, Mr. Mabhouh is no longer with us, and we shall be grateful to the mysterious people responsible for it.

Mashaal threatens to avenge Mabhouh's killing

Hamas politburo chief says 'talks about revenge are over, execution time is here.' He calls on world to add Israel to list of terror organizations

Hamas politburo chief Khaled Mashaal threatened Wednesday to avenge the assassination of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai. "The talks about revenge are over and execution time is here," he said.

He added that "today is the day of action and we believe in the ability of the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades."

In a televised speech from Damascus, broadcast to a conference in the Gaza Strip, Mashaal called on the world to add Israel to the list of terror organizations. He said that "the manhunt for al-Mabhouh's murderers is in Dubai's interest, just like it is in Hamas' interest."

Abu Ubaida, a spokesman for Hamas' military wing, said during the northern Gaza conference that "the decision to seek revenge has already been made, and all that's left for the Zionist criminals is to wait.

"Our mission is to punish you and your mission is to continue living under the fear of our response. We will be the one to determine the appropriate way and time and location. We won't say when and where, but prepare to absorb the fire of our rage in our special way and in our special execution in the chosen time and place."

Abu Ubaida said that the organization was capable of retaliating, "and if you carried out your crime through the Mossad, we have the way which will hurt you. We are no here to eulogize the shahid (martyr). We are here to say that revenge is coming, coming, coming. Today you hear it in words and tomorrow you'll see it in fire and actions."

Poison plot

Five arrested over army poison plot

FIVE men have been arrested amid a probe into food poisoning at Fort Jackson US military base.

Sources told Fox News the five men were detained in December over allegations that they attempted to poison the food supply at the South Carolina base.

They were all part of the base's Arabic translation training program, referred to in the army as "Lima 09".

"Each of them uses Arabic as his first language," one source said.

In an earlier report, before the arrests emerged, a military source told Fox News the suspects were Muslims.

CBN News reported that the five arrested men were Islamic and cited a source who said they may have been in contact with five Washington, DC Muslims, who were arrested in December after authorities uncovered their plans to travel to Pakistan to wage jihad against the US.

However, it was unclear whether the men were still in custody.

An ongoing probe into the alleged Fort Jackson plot began two months ago, the Army’s Criminal Investigation Division spokesman Chris Grey told Fox News.

The army was taking the allegations “extremely seriously,” Mr Grey said, adding there was "no credible information to support the allegations".

The Federal Bureau of Investigation told Fox News they were aware of the Fort Jackson investigation, however they said the inquiry would be carried out by the army's CID.

The investigation has surfaced in the wake of a mass shooting at Fort Hood, Texas last November, which killed 12 people and wounded 31 others.

It was allegedly undertaken by US Army major Nidal Malik Hasan, an American-born Muslim of Palestinian descent, who was serving as a psychiatrist.

He has been charged and a prosecution is ongoing.
