Netahyahu "It Ain't Gonna Happen"

Moments ago, following a lengthy meeting with the president, Israel's Prime Minister Bejamin Netanyahu responded to President Obama's call for Israel and Palestine to return to pre-1967 borders, saying, "While Israel is willing to make generous compromises for peace, it cannot go back to the 1967 lines because these lines are indefensible because they don't take into account certain changes that have taken place." Netayahu also said, "Israel cannot negotiate with a Palestinian government that is backed by Hamas."

While Netanyahu admitted to differences with President Obama, he believes they share an overall direction and desire to work together toward a genuine peace. That is Netanyahu's priority, as he says, "History will not give the Jewish people another chance."

The Lubavitcher Rebbe on Pesach Sheni

14 Iyar, 5744 · May 16, 1984 - The "Pesach Sheni" Korbon was offered as a restitution for the the Korbon Pesach, for someone who was ritually impure or too far away from the Beis Hamikdosh at the time of Pesach. But Jewish law rules that a non-Jew who converts to Judaism right after Passover, or a child who comes of age right after Pesach, must also bring a "Pesach Sheni" sacrifice, even though they were not obligated to bring a sacrifice on the first Pesach. The commentaries explain that the Korbon Pesach Sheni has two facets to it: On the one hand, it is "restitution"; on the other, it is a celebration in its own right.

There are two lessons taught by Peach Sheni. First, there is the famous adage of the Previous Lubavitcher Rebbe, that Pesach Sheni teaches us that "no situation is ever completely lost." But this is relevant only to someone who appears to be "lost." What about the person who hasn't "lost" anything at all, for he was never "obligated"? Pesach Sheni comes and teaches a second, new, concept: every Jew must continuously progress in G-d's ways. A Jew may never be satisfied with his present spiritual state, even if everything appears to be perfect. When a new month comes along, it demands that you reach a new spiritual level, even compared to what you attained last month, on Pesach.

Nothing Like a Russian Drunkard

Russian police could hardly control their laughter when a drunk driver attempted to make phone calls with a pack of cigarettes. the video shot by traffic cops in Moscow pulled over for driving erratically - first tries to speak into his hand to make a call. But when he realises that isn't working he pulls out a cigarette packet and in front of the bemused cops apparently believes he's having detailed phone conversations - first with his father, and then a friend. "Just deal with the situation," he says before hanging up and passing out with his head slumped on a policeman's shoulder.

Perhaps the biggest glitch in this amazing production is the fact that the batter and pitcher don't even bother to glance over to where the potential-accident-turned-into-amazing-catch occurs.

Helicopter Landing in Violent Waters

Prism Defence specialise in Ship Helicopter Integration, and provides a wide range of services within this realm. In particular, Prism are responsible for the development of Ship Helicopter Operating Limits. This involves safely taking the helicopter to the edge of the envelope; that is, the point at which more extreme conditions would make the aircraft unsafe to fly.

The limits are based on a combination of environmental factors and ship motion. Operating helicopters onboard ships is extremely complex, due in part to the difficulty of landing a helicopter on a moving platform, but also due to numerous practical engineering issues.

This video shows a landing conducted by a Prism Defence Test Pilot and Flight Test Engineer during development of Ship Helicopter Operating Limits for the Lynx Mark 90B helicopter onboard the KNUD RASMUSSEN class Offshore Patrol Vessel. For more information please visit www.prismdefence.com

Verdict in Japan - Yakov Yosef ben Reizel Needs Your Tefillos

Monday, 2:30am (NY) Eastern Time, the virdict for Yakov Yosef ben Reizel, one of the the two boys still a Japan prison, is expected any minute. Please have him in mind in your prayers.

~~~~~~

Thursday 12th May At the Chiba district court, the closing arguments, being the final hearing for the third boy, Yoel Zev, began at 10am local time.

Yoel Zev was brought in at 9:55 accompanied by two guards and was seated on a bench in front of the defence teams table.

In order that Yoel Zev should understand the proceedings, an earpiece that is connected to the court appointed interpreter microphone, was placed on Yoel Zev.

The judges walked into the court room and bowed down, as is in Japanese custom.

The presiding judge first announced that the court rejects the recent evidence being the expert opinion by a graphologist - a handwriting expert, that determines that Miss Suzuki's recent evidence has been forged.

One change in the room was, having a new minor judge and a new prosecutor. The new minor judge who has never worked as judge before and is very young has now replaced the last minor judge of the three previous judges, led by presiding judge Furuta, a hardliner that has never acquitted someone before.

Yoel Zev quoted after the trial, that last year chol hamoed succos, he attended one of his pre-trials and was given the arba minim after the hearing and with the permission of the judge, he made a brocho loud and was shaking it in fron of the old panel of judges. He now says "Ich hob geshokeled in geshokeled and they have all disappeared." Click Here For More.

Raw Footage: NYPD Terror Arrest

The NYPD has released video of its arrest Wednesday of terrorism suspect Ahmed Ferhani. Police say he and a second suspect, Mohamed Mamdouh, plotted to kill Jews by bombing a synagogue, and possibly the Empire State Building.

Mamdouh is on tape saying he hated Jews, prosecutors said. Ferhani suggested disguising himself as a worshipping Jew so he could infiltrate a synagogue and leave a bomb inside, the complaint said. He also discussed using grenades “and described pulling the pins and throwing them into the synagogue,” it added. Click Here for more info.
