Israel: Protests show fight over state's existence
By JOSEF FEDERMAN, Associated Press – Mon Jun 6, 3:02 pm ET

JERUSALEM – A second round of deadly clashes with Palestinian protesters trying to breach the border from Syria has made Israel's leadership even more skeptical about reaching peace with its Arab neighbors.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday angrily accused Syria's embattled president of orchestrating the protests to deflect attention from internal unrest. More broadly, Netanyahu said the Syrian-backed assault on Israel's borders was fueling a Palestinian challenge to the very existence of the Jewish state.The argument is over the fact of the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948, he told reporters after a meeting of his Likud Party.

For the second time in a month, hundreds of unarmed protesters from Syria, many of them the descendants of Palestinian refugees from 1948, surged toward the frontier with the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights on Sunday and tried to burst through the border. Israeli forces kept the crowd from making it through, but 23 protesters were killed, according to Syrian officials. Those numbers were impossible to independently verify.In Washington, U.S. State Department spokesman Mark Toner told reporters Monday that the American administration was deeply troubled by the Syrian protests, which he said appeared to be an effort by the Syrian government to incite events and draw attention away from its own internal issue.Israel, like any sovereign nation, has a right to defend itself, he said.Three weeks earlier, hundreds of protesters successfully breached the border for several hours before they were rounded up and sent back to Syria. Four were reported killed.The protesters were not calling for a Palestinian state alongside Israel — the stated goal of peace talks. Instead, they demanded a return to the homes of ancestors who lost properties during Israel's war of independence six decades ago.

These repeated attempts to challenge Israel's borders have played into widespread Israeli fears that the Palestinians do not seek a state only in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem — lands captured in the 1967 Mideast war — but ultimately want to take over all of present-day Israel as well.The demand that has been raised over the last few days that descendants of Palestinian refugees return to the Jewish state is a demand that will kill the peace process, said Netanyahu's spokesman, Mark Regev.Those who want to flood Israel with the descendants of Palestinian refugees want to destroy the Jewish state.The plight of Palestinian refugees is one of the most difficult and emotional issues in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians either fled or were driven from their homes during the 1948-49 Mideast war. Today, those refugees and their descendants number several million. The Palestinians claim these people have an inalienable right to return to lost properties.Israel rejects any large-scale return of refugees, saying it would destroy the country's Jewish character. It says refugees should be resettled in a future Palestinian state.

Israel has been shaken by the political turmoil sweeping the Middle East. Netanyahu has warned of Islamic militants gaining strength from the unrest, and Israelis are nervous about the prospect of a new Egyptian regime that might be more hostile to Israel, though the two nations have a peace treaty.The latest round of peace talks with the Palestinians broke down in September, just three weeks after their launch, over Israeli settlement construction in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, the Palestinian's hoped-for capital.Azzam Ahmed, an aide to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, said the Palestinians remain committed to reaching peace with Israel.

We have been negotiating with Israel to establish an independent state on the 1967 borders and resolve the refugees issue in an agreed-upon solution, but Israel always declined and created huge obstacles by building settlements in the Palestinian territories, he said.He said the protests in Syria are not about undermining Israel. It's about individual rights for each one driven out of his home to return to his home.The protests have added to Netanyahu's skepticism toward the Palestinians. He has said it would be impossible to resume peace talks with Abbas if the Palestinian leader goes through with plans to form a unity government with the rival Hamas group. The Iranian-backed Hamas opposes peace with Israel.Israel has also criticized Palestinian plans to seek U.N. recognition of their independence in September, with or without a peace deal.Israeli defense officials believe the Syrian unrest could be a dry run for much wider protests in the West Bank and east Jerusalem after a unilateral Palestinian declaration of independence in September. Israeli military officials acknowledge they are intensely preparing for September, though they have said little about how they will respond.On Monday, Syrian police blocked dozens of protesters from approaching the Israeli frontier, apparently fearing a repeat of the deadly clashes a day earlier.Syria gave no reason for the move, but could be wary of provoking Israel too much. While the two countries have not fought a war in nearly 40 years, Israel has occasionally struck targets inside Syria in response to perceived threats.Israeli leaders made it clear they held Syria responsible for the latest violence. It allowed these people to carry out provocations that challenged Israel's sovereignty,Netanyahu said.This is an attempt to divert international attention from events in Syria.Human rights groups say more than 1,200 people have died in Syria's crackdown on anti-government protesters since March.Israel's defense minister, Ehud Barak, predicted that Syrian President Bashar Assad's days in office were numbered, and said there was no point in pursuing peace with the teetering Syrian government.Israel has conducted several rounds of talks with Syria, most recently in 2008, but never reached an agreement.I think he will fall. He has lost his legitimacy,Barak told Israel Radio.Federman can be reached at http://www.twitter.com/joseffederman

Holiday of the Torah Begins Tuesday Night
by Hillel Fendel JUN 6,11

The Jewish holiday of Shavuot is set to begin Tuesday night – lasting for its one Biblical day (from sunset to the next sunset) in Israel, and two days in the rest of the world.Shavuot (Pentecost, Feast of Weeks), as well as Pesach (Passover) and Sukkot (Tabernacles), are the three pilgrimage festivals on which Jews are bidden to visit Jerusalem. Tens of thousands of people are in fact expected to arrive at the Western Wall throughout Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, though the Biblical commandment to visit Jerusalem on these days applies fully only when the Holy Temple is built.The current custom of gathering at the Wall for the holiday began spontaneously on the Shavuot holiday of 1967 (5727), which followed the Six Day War and the liberation of Jerusalem by only a few days. Realizing that masses of people would descend upon the Wall and its narrow walkway, the authorities razed the old buildings within 100 meters from the Wall in order to make room. It was the first holiday in 1,900 years in which throngs of Jews congregated at the Western Wall.The holiday of Shavuot marks the Jewish People's receiving of the Torah at Mt. Sinai 3,323 years ago. It also marks the day after the 49-day Sefirat HaOmer counting period, which begins on the Passover holiday. The counting denotes the fact that the ultimate purpose of the Exodus from Egypt was for the Jewish People to receive the Torah and begin its national/spiritual existence as the People of the Book.

Features of the joyous Shavuot holiday include:
* remaining awake all night to study Torah; known as Tikkun Leil Shavuot.
* the bringing of the Bikurim (First Fruits) to the Holy Temple (temporarily suspended, until the Temple is rebuilt);
* the time of the wheat harvest;
* the public reading of the Book of Ruth for several reasons, among them: Ruth accepted Judaism as the Jews did on the holiday, the story takes place during the Shavuot season, and King David, her descendant, died on Shavuot.
* a wide-spread custom of eating dairy foods on Shavuot, as the Torah is compared to milk and honey under the tongue. (for more reasons, see our Shavuot dairy recipe)

In Israel, Shavuot is a legal holiday. There is no public transportation; schools, offices and most stores are closed; newspapers are not published. (Israel National News.com)

Shalit Supporters to Call: Block Money to Gaza
by Elad Benari JUN 7,11

A demonstration is expected to be held on Friday near Israel’s border with Gaza, during which protesters will call on the Israeli government to stop transferring funds to the Hamas leadership in Gaza.The demonstration is being organized by Orna Shimoni, a founder of the Four Mothers movement that helped bring about the IDF's withdrawal from southern Lebanon in 2000. She explained during an interview on Monday with Arutz Sheva’s Hebrew website what led her to organize the protest.

Shimoni explained that the main purpose of her struggle is to stop the transfer of funds into Gaza, since these funds enable the Hamas leadership to purchase weapons that can then be used against Israelis. She noted that in the past, these weapons were purchased and smuggled into the Strip through the underground tunnels, but that today it is much easier for Hamas to bring the weapons into Gaza openly (through the recently reopened Rafiah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt).She reminded that every month, Israel allows for the entry of $13.5 million into the Gaza Strip, and that the money comes out of accounts belonging to the Bank of Israel.Eighty percent of the dollars transferred to Gaza are used to smuggle weapons which then return to us in the form of missiles fired at buses and towns, and twenty percent of the funds are used to pay the wages for Hamas leaders, including the captors of Gilad Shalit, said Shimoni, adding that no one disputes these figures. At least until the day Gilad Shalit is released, we should not transfer money to Gaza through the State of Israel.She said she does not accept the official claim that the money, which sometimes comes from countries belonging to the European Union and sometimes comes from the Palestinian Authority itself, belongs to the PA Arab residents of Gaza. She added that she sees this as a matter of principle, just as Israel would not enable the transfer of money to a Nazi organization or to the Hizbullah terror group. She emphasized that the funds are not intended to benefit local residents and that the residents do not see any of the money. The money goes to the Hamas leadership in Gaza and is streamlined towards salaries and weapons, and we must stop this money from going through, even if we are only used as a pipeline.Shimoni said that the original idea was to hold the demonstration in front of the home of Bank of Israel Governor Stanley Fischer, as he is the one responsible for transfers of funds from the Bank of Israel. She added, however, that the plan was dropped at the request of Gilad’s father, Noam Shalit, who believes that the focus of the pressure to release his son should be the decision-makers, i.e. the Prime Minister, government ministers, and other members of Knesset. As such, the location of the protest was changed, though she said she herself believes Fischer, as the one who pressured Israel to transfer the funds to Gaza, should also stand up to public pressure to cancel the move.

Shimoni noted that she believes the motive behind Fishcher’s move may have been his longtime friendship with PA Prime Minister Salam Fayyad. The two had met when both had worked for the World Bank. She also brought up the possibility that Fischer wanted to please the European Union and the World Bank and for this reason decided to push for money to be transferred to Hamas. She said, however, that despite her deep appreciation for Fischer, his move cannot be accepted when it leads to attacks on Israel’s security.According to Shimoni, if Hamas knows that Israel is serious and would actually stop the transfer of funds, it will be frightened and will drop the price it is requesting for Shalit’s release.Without the money, there is no Hamas, she said, adding that during Friday’s demonstration she plans to bring up the issue in public and thus interrupt the silence over the transfer of funds to Gaza.Meanwhile, Shalit’s parents were in France Monday to file a lawsuit in a Paris court regarding their son being held hostage. They say he may have suffered acts of torture or of barbarism.Shalit is a French citizen and the legal action is intended to put more pressure on the French government to work for his release.Last week, French first lady Carla Bruni responded to a personal letter from Sara Netanyahu on the subject of Shalit, with a note of her own in which she said that France was sparing no effort in its attempts to mediate Shalit’s release.Like you, I wish with all my heart that this episode will be over soon, Bruni wrote.

The issue of the price that Israel should pay for Shalit’s release has been one of controversy in the country. Hamas has demanded that Israel release thousands of Arab prisoners being held in Israeli prisons, some of whom were involved in deadly suicide terror attacks and are behind the deaths of hundreds of innocent Israeli civilians.Some groups, mostly from the left, are saying Israel should pay any price for Shalit, including releasing potentially dangerous terrorists. Those who oppose such deals are saying that Israel cannot release prisoners who are likely to go back to terror, and thus endanger the lives of hundreds of more Israelis.Click here to view one such debate, which took place this week between Meir Indor of the Almagor Terror Victims Association and Shimshon Liebman, Chairman of the Gilad Shalit Action Committee.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

Clinton meets Israeli, Palestinian peace envoys
By Andrew Quinn – Mon Jun 6, 7:19 pm ET

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Secretary of State Hillary Clinton held separate meetings with Israeli and Palestinian negotiators on Monday as the United States seeks to find a way to revive moribund peace talks.Clinton also met visiting French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe -- who launched a separate bid to start talks -- but said it was too early to consider a proposed Paris conference because neither side appeared willing to talk despite a looming September showdown over Palestinian statehood at the United Nations.We strongly support a return to negotiations, but we do not think that it would be productive for there to be a conference about returning to negotiations, Clinton told reporters.There has to be a return to negotiations, which will take a lot of persuasion and preliminary work in order to set up a productive meeting between the parties, she said, adding that Washington was in a wait-and-see attitude.Clinton's meetings with Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat and his Israeli counterpart Yitzhak Molcho came amid mounting concern over the Israeli-Palestinian dispute, which remains deadlocked despite the wave of political change sweeping the Arab world.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has said he intends to seek U.N. recognition of Palestinian statehood at the U.N. General Assembly meeting in September -- a move which both Israel and the United States say will only inflame tensions.Juppe said his offer last week to host talks between the two sides in Paris was based on concerns that that situation could spin out of control if September arrives and no peace talks are under way.We have the feeling if nothing happens before September, the situation will be very difficult for everybody,he told reporters.

FALTERING EFFORT

President Barack Obama presided over the resumption of direct peace talks between the two sides in September, but the effort collapsed almost immediately over Jewish settlement construction in the West Bank.Obama has said he believed it was possible to get a framework deal for peace within a year, and last month sought to accelerate the momentum by proposing that the two sides discuss terms based on the borders that existed in before the 1967 war in which Israel captured the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem, along with agreed territorial swaps.But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who leads a coalition dominated by pro-settler parties, swiftly rejected the plan as unworkable.The faltering effort has been further strained by a recent Palestinian political unity deal between President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah movement and the rival Islamist Hamas, which controls Gaza and remains sworn to Israel's destruction.While the Palestinians say the planned unity government will be technocratic with no direct role for Hamas, both Israeli and U.S. leaders have said peace talks are not possible unless Hamas explicitly recognizes Israel's right to exist and renounces violence.

Clinton said on Tuesday those concerns remained.

It is not enough for us that it would be called technocratic, she said.If Hamas is involved we think that undermines the whole purpose of negotiations because we would have a party that rejects Israel's right to exist.Erekat, speaking after his meeting with Clinton, said he had sought to address U.S. concerns over Hamas -- but repeated that Palestinians must achieve political reconciliation if they are to meet their goal of forming an independent state.This is not a power-sharing government, Erekat said.This will be a government for elections, and reconstruction of Gaza, and a government that runs Abbas' program,he said.He said the Palestinians remained firm in their intention to seek U.N. recognition, and warned that failure to move toward statehood could throw a question mark over the future viability of Abbas' Palestinian Authority.(Editing by Eric Walsh)

Russia and EU clash on trade ahead of summit
ANDREW RETTMAN 06.06.2011 @ 08:15 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has made fun of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and the EU ambassador in Moscow in the run-up to an EU-Russia summit.Using his trademark colourful language, Putin told press in Sochi on Friday (3 June) that he will not lift Russia's E-Coli-related import ban on EU vegetables.The EU says Russia's decision contradicts the spirit of the WTO, but we can't poison people because of some spirit, he said, according to newswires.I openly admit I don't know what spirit is being contradicted ... But when people are dying from eating cucumbers, then something stinks.Putin's remarks came after the EU ambassador in Moscow, Fernando Valenzuela, protested that the blanket ban goes against the code of the Geneva-based free trade club.As the intention of Russia, which we support fully, is to join the WTO, possibly this year ... Russia should voluntarily be already implementing these rules in full, the EU envoy told reporters in Moscow on Thursday.The disagreement comes a few days before EU and Russian officials sit down in Nizhny Novgorod on 9 June to discuss prospects of Russia's WTO entry.An EU official told this website that EU-Russia talks are in the endgame phase, but that concerns remain over protectionism in some sectors.

The vegetable ban is set to help domestic Russian farmers - Russia imports 11 percent of its tomatoes from the EU and five percent of cucumbers.Lebanon is the only other country to react with a total blockade. The EU envoy in Beirut, Angelina Eickhorst, said on Saturday the vegetable ban is scientifically unjustified and violates a 2006 EU-Lebanon agreement.German scientists over the weekend continued to hunt for the source of the E Coli outbreak, with the likeliest suspect being bean sprouts in Lower Saxony.The World Health Organisation (WHO) says over 20 people have died and 2,000 have been infected since early May.Cases - relating to people who travelled to Germany - have also occurred in Austria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, France, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK and the US. The epidemic has mostly affected women.The Escherichia coli (E Coli) bacterium lives in the gut of warm-blooded animals. It can cause bloody diarrhoea, cramps, fever and vomiting. Some patients develop haemolytic uraemic syndrome, a potentially fatal kidney condition.EU health ministers will discuss the situation at a meeting in Luxembourg on Monday.

EU to monitor anti-corruption measures in member states VALENTINA POP 06.06.2011 @ 17:42 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - A special report on what EU member states are doing to fight corruption and how cases are actually solved is to be drafted by the European Commission every two years, home affairs commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom has announced.No country in the EU is totally free from corruption. Four out of five EU citizens regard corruption as a major problem in their country. This is a serious challenge, socially, politically and economically,she said during a press conference on Monday (6 June).The new mechanism, which will provide non-binding evaluations and recommendations of the countries' actual anti-corruption practices, not only adopted laws and norms - is seen as a pressure tool on politicians to live up to their transparency and clean government pledges.With an estimated €120 billion lost to corruption every year - the equivalent of the entire EU budget - Malmstrom pointed out that showing resolve on enforcing anti-corruption measures has also a positive impact on the economy and helps regain confidence on the financial markets.

Corrupt practices, dodgy book-keeping and outright lying about the country's finances already have forced Greece, Latvia and Hungary to seen external financial aid. But bringing high level politicians to court and having them put behind bars for corruption is still a rare phenomenon throughout the bloc, and not just in EU's newest members, Bulgaria and Romania, who both are under a special EU monitoring in this regard.While most countries have all the international and EU laws in place on fighting corruption, one of the main challenges is the lack of commitment in enforcing zero tolerance for corruption, Malmstrom noted.To what extent a non-binding, bi-annual report will help governments clean up their act, remains to be seen, but the Swedish-born commissioner kept confident that the perspective of naming and shaming will spur governments to clean up their act.The first report is set to be published in 2013 and is likely to be structured on a theme - for instance public procurement in all 27 member states.The purpose is not to rank member states, but the information will be there, who is doing what, what are the best practices and the gaps,the commissioner explained.EUobserver understands that this was a compromise to get the mechanism approved, with commissioners from big member states reluctant to endorse a ranking or a comprehensive report on the state of corruption in each member state.What Malmstrom did succeed, however, is to base the report not solely on information stemming from national governments, but also from NGOs and independent advisers.

In addition, a so-called network of anti-corruption correspondents is to be set up throughout the EU and feed the commission with real-time information on high-level corruption cases, on judicial follow-up, on bribes and dodgy contracts involving EU and national funds alike, mostly drawn from what the media reports in a given country.It's very good news that for the first time, the commission will be looking at anti-corruption measures in all member states, Romanian centre-right MEP Monica Macovei, herself an anti-graft campaigner, told this website.Existing mechanisms, such as the Council of Europe's group of states against corruption (Greco) only looks at legislation and bases its reports on what governments answer to their questionnaires.Greece, Romania, they are all great at adopting laws. But the problem is to implement them, Macovei says.Her British colleague from the Liberal group, Sarah Ludford, also welcomed this mechanism because it will at least open the discussion about EU corruption, which has long been the elephant in the room.Serious action to root out both corruption and its twin major threat to the EU, organised crime, is long overdue. For far too long, even the UK failed to visibly tackle bribery,the British MEP said in a press release.To Austrian independent MEP Martin Ehrenhauser, his home country is no A student either.Having a report on anti-corruption measures is a first step in the right direction. But it is questionable if big member states will allow critical reports,he said.

As with any piece of draft legislation or monitoring report, the EU corruption report will have to be adopted by unanimity in the college of commissioners. In theory, commissioners are not there to represent national interests, but in practice, capitals still have an important leverage on the final texts through their respective commissioners.As long as it's non-binding for us, we're fine with it. Corruption is bad, everyone wants to fight it,one EU diplomat told this website.The main NGO dealing with corruption perception in the public and private sectors, Transparency International, also stressed that this mechanism alone will not solve the problem. With the various indicators and assessment criteria still to be defined, TI urges the commission to make them fast and flexible enough so as to reflect the country-specific areas particularly prone to corruption and to publicly encourage compliance by outlining corruption risks, trends and possible weaknesses.

IAEA turns up heat on Syria, Iran
by Simon Morgan – Mon Jun 6, 12:51 pm ET

VIENNA (AFP) – UN atomic watchdog chief Yukiya Amano turned up the heat on Syria and Iran -- both accused of illicit nuclear activity -- as the body's policy-making board of governors began meeting here Monday.Tehran and Damascus are both accused of actively blocking the International Atomic Energy Agency's long-running investigations into illegal nuclear activity.At the end of May, Amano released two new reports in which he said Iran was continuing to stockpile low-enriched uranium, in defiance of multiple UN sanctions, and refusing to answer allegations of possible military dimensions to its contested nuclear programme.Syria, for its part, is accused of building an undeclared atomic reactor at a remote desert site and has not allowed UN inspectors access to locations, data or individuals who could help clear up the allegations.Addressing the IAEA's governors on the first day of their traditional week-long June meeting, Amano defended his decision to go public with his assessment that a suspect site in Syria was very likely to have been an undeclared nuclear reactor, as alleged by the United States.

The Syrian government was given ample time by the agency to cooperate fully concerning the Dair Alzour site, but did not do so,Amano said, according to a copy of his speech circulated to journalists.Nevertheless, we had obtained enough information to draw a conclusion. I judged it appropriate to inform member states of our conclusion at this stage as it was in no one's interest to let this situation drag on indefinitely, Amano said.Damascus has always insisted that Dair Alzour was a non-nuclear military installation, but has provided no evidence to back that up. Furthermore, it has repeatedly denied the IAEA access to the site to clear up the allegations for itself.I am confident about our conclusion and I look forward to engaging further with Syria to resolve related outstanding issues, Amano said.He told a news conference later that, a couple of days after his report, Syria wrote to the IAEA promising full cooperation and that officials from both sides had since met for talks.But expressing an intention is not good enough. We would like to see concrete results, Amano said.Syria had still not provided any concrete indication as to what form its full cooperation would take. Nevertheless, the two sides had agreed to meet again following the end of the June session of the board of governors, Amano continued.The US and its Western allies are expected to propose a resolution at the board meeting to find Damascus in non-compliance with its international obligations and report it to the UN Security Council in New York.Western diplomats believe there is sufficient support on the 35-member board for the resolution to be passed, although it would be naive to expect it to be carried unanimously, a number of them said.

Asked if a resolution would jeopardise Damascus's willingness to cooperate, Amano replied: Whether to report it to Security Council or not is the matter of member states, I'm not involved in that.But even if Damascus were to be reported to New York,I don't think it changes my work. What is needed... is that Syria is prepared to cooperate with us and I'm looking forward to work with them whatever happens.The last time a member state was reported to the UN Security Council was Iran in February 2006 and the IAEA is still no closer than it was then to establishing whether the Islamic republic's nuclear programme is exclusively peaceful, as Tehran maintains.Turning to the IAEA's long-running Iran investigation, Amano said the watchdog has received further information related to possible past or current undisclosed nuclear-related activities that seem to point to the existence of possible military dimensions to Iran's nuclear programme.The IAEA has long been pressing Tehran to answer the allegations. But Iran has merely dismissed the evidence backing up the allegations as fabricated and baseless, and refused to discuss the matter further.

New data suggests Iran military link: U.N. atom chief
By Fredrik Dahl and Sylvia Westall – Mon Jun 6, 10:47 am ET

VIENNA (Reuters) – Iran seems to have carried out nuclear-related work with possible military links until recently, the U.N. atomic watchdog chief said on Monday, citing new information adding to concerns about Tehran's activities.Yukiya Amano, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, made clear in a speech to the IAEA's 35-nation governing board his growing frustration at the Islamic state's failure to answer agency queries about its nuclear program.His remarks are likely to be welcomed by Western powers as a sign that he is gradually ratcheting up the pressure on Iran.The United States and its allies accuse Iran of seeking to develop an atomic weapons capability. Iran rejects the accusation, saying its nuclear program is aimed at generating electricity so that it can export more of its oil and gas.For several years, the IAEA has been investigating Western intelligence reports indicating Iran has coordinated efforts to process uranium, test explosives at high altitude and revamp a ballistic missile cone so it can take a nuclear warhead.

Western diplomats believe Amano is in effect warning Tehran to cooperate or face a possible assessment by the IAEA on the likelihood it has conducted nuclear activity with possible military aspects.Such an assessment could lend weight to any renewed Western push to tighten sanctions on the major oil producer.Amano said the U.N. agency had received further information related to possible past or current undisclosed nuclear-related activities that seem to point to the existence of possible military dimensions to Iran's nuclear program.He later told a news conference, without disclosing the source of the information: The activities in Iran related to the possible military dimension seem to have been continued until quite recently.

LETTER DIPLOMACY

Iran's refusal to halt uranium enrichment, activity which can have both civilian and military uses, has drawn four rounds of U.N. sanctions since 2006.The Japanese IAEA chief has taken a blunter approach than his predecessor Mohamed ElBaradei toward the Islamic state.Amano said he had written last month to the head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, Fereydoun Abbasi-Davani,reiterating the agency's concerns about the existence of possible military dimensions.He had also asked for Iran to provide prompt access to locations, equipment, documentation and officials to help resolve the agency's queries.Amano made clear that Iran's response had not been satisfactory, saying he had sent a new letter to Abbasi-Davani on June 3 in which I reiterated the agency's requests to Iran.In his May 26 letter to Amano, a copy of which was obtained by Reuters on Friday, Abbasi-Davani reiterated Iran's position that the allegations were fabricated, and said U.N. sanctions resolutions against the country were illegal and unacceptable.The IAEA, tasked with ensuring that nuclear technology is not diverted for military aims, says Iran has not engaged with the agency in substance on the issue of possible military aspects to Iran's nuclear program since mid-2008.Iran was not providing the necessary cooperation to enable the agency to provide credible assurance about the absence of undeclared nuclear material and activities in Iran, Amano said.I urge Iran to take steps toward the full implementation of all relevant obligations in order to establish international confidence in the exclusively peaceful nature of its nuclear program,he said.

Latest developments in Arab world's unrest
By The Associated Press – Mon Jun 6, 3:55 pm ET

SYRIA-Armed men attack Syrian security forces in a tense northern city, state television says, and 120 policemen and security forces are killed in a region where the army has carried out days of deadly assaults on protesters calling for the end of President Bashar Assad's rule. Communications are cut to the area around Jisr al-Shughour, and the details of the attack were impossible to verify, but there have been unconfirmed reports in the past by residents and activists of Syrians fighting back against security forces. The government promises a decisive response, setting the stage for an even stronger government crackdown against a popular uprising that began in mid-March.

YEMEN-With the wounded president out of Yemen, the United States and Saudi Arabia scramble to arrange a power transfer ensuring an end to his decades-long rule. But a top official says President Ali Abdullah Saleh, recovering in Saudi Arabia, would return home within days, a step almost certain to spark new, intensified fighting between his forces and opposition tribesmen determined to topple him. Both sides' fighters are deployed in the streets of the capital, and a cease-fire brokered by Saudi Arabia only a day earlier is already starting to fray, with clashes killing at least six.

LIBYA-Libya's rebels have arbitrarily detained dozens of civilians suspected of supporting ruler Moammar Gadhafi and at least one has died after apparently being tortured while in custody, Human Rights Watch says. Since the uprising started in mid-February, rebels have seized control of much of the country's east and scrambled to set up an administration in their de facto capital of Benghazi. Rebels also hold the western city of Misrata and smaller towns in the western mountains. Both sides have taken prisoners in the fighting. NATO intensifies its airstrikes in and around the capital of Tripoli, targeting military installations and a government building.

EGYPT-Crowds of Egyptians dressed in black hold demonstrations to honor a young man from Alexandria beaten to death a year ago in a savage attack blamed on police that helped inspire the uprising that brought down Egypt's president. Photographs of Khaled Said's badly disfigured and bloodied face were posted on the Internet and became an instant rallying point for campaigners trying to bring attention to rampant police brutality under the regime of Hosni Mubarak. A Facebook page in his honor called We are all Khaled Said was used months later to call for the protests that toppled Mubarak on Feb. 11. On Monday's anniversary of his death, crowds held protests in Cairo and Alexandria to remember him and draw attention to continued abuses by Egyptian police.

BAHRAIN-Dozens of doctors and nurses who treated injured anti-government protesters during the months of unrest in Bahrain go on trial in a security court on allegations they participated in efforts to overthrow the Gulf country's monarchy. The prosecution of 47 health professionals is a sign that Bahrain's Sunni rulers will not end their relentless pursuit of the Shiite-led opposition despite officially lifting emergency rule last week. The medical workers are charged with participating in efforts to topple Bahrain's Sunni monarchy and taking part in illegal rallies.

Iranian Lawmakers Tour Lebanon-Israel Border
by Gil Ronen JUN 6,11

Lebanon prevented rioters from coming near Israel’s border on Naksa Day Sunday, but allowed an Iranian parliamentary delegation to tour the Lebanese-Israeli border.
The delegation was led by Ghulam Ali Hadad Adel, a member of the Iranian Majlis (parliament), who is also an adviser to Iran’s top leader Ayatollah Ali Khameini, and is married to Khameini’s daughter.Accompanied by Iran’s Beirut ambassador Ghazanfar Roknabadi, the delegation visited the town of Maroun a-Ras, where heavy fighting took place between Hizbullah and the IDF in the 2006 Lebanon War. Iran's president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad also made a point of visiting the town on his Lebanese tour last year.Adel waved the PLO flag and gave a speech expressing his appreciation and admiration for the martyrs and the Palestinian nation for their determination to return to their homes and land.Iran, he said, would continue to support the resistance in Lebanon and Palestine – a reference to Hizbullah and Hamas. Ambassador Roknabadi said that the Palestinian nation is determined to achieve its rights in any way and by any means, after it turned out that the United Nations Security Council cannot implement its resolutions on refugees.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

Syria to send in army after 120 troops killed
By Mariam Karouny – Mon Jun 6, 7:00 pm ET

BEIRUT (Reuters) – Syrian forces fought gunmen in battles that left more than 120 members of the security forces dead, state television said in the first report of large-scale armed clashes in the revolt against President Bashar al-Assad.The television said on Monday armed groups set government buildings ablaze in the northwestern town of Jisr al-Shughour, stole five tonnes of dynamite and were firing at civilians and security forces with machineguns and rocket-propelled grenades.The security forces have managed to end a blockade of one of the neighborhoods that was seized by the gunmen for awhile and are now battling them to end the blockade of the other neighborhoods, the television said.The gunmen mutilated some of the bodies and threw some into the river. The people in Jisr al-Shughour are urging the army to intervene speedily,it said.Opposition activists earlier said a security operation had been under way in the town since Saturday in which they said at least 37 residents and 10 police had been killed.But it was impossible to verify the conflicting accounts of the violence from activists and officials as authorities have prevented most international media from operating in Syria.Interior Minister Mohammad Ibrahim al-Shaar said authorities would respond firmly to armed attacks and Information Minister Adnan Mahmoud said the army, which has so far stayed out of the town, will carry out their national duty to restore security.Rights groups say 1,000 civilians have been killed in the protests which have swept from the southern city of Deraa to the Mediterranean coast and eastern Kurdish regions.

ARMED REBELLION

But the ferocity of the crackdown could increase further if the government comes up against an armed insurrection.Syrian forces crushed an armed Islamist uprising in the city of Hama in 1982 on the orders of Bashar's father, President Hafez al-Assad, killing up to 30,000 people.An activist told Reuters that police and members of the security forces in Jisr al-Shughour were killed by gunmen.Some people in some areas have taken up arms, he said.The situation is grave, what is happening is an armed rebellion. I oppose violence from whatever side it comes from.Residents said violence erupted in Jisr al-Shughour on Saturday when snipers on the roof of the main post office fired at a funeral for six protesters killed the day before.Angry mourners set fire to the post office, a history teacher in the town called Ahmad said. State television said eight members of the security forces were killed when armed gunmen attacked the post office building.It said at least 20 security force members were killed in an ambush by armed gangs, and 82 were killed in an attack on a security post. It said the overall death toll for security forces was more than 120.A rebellion in Jisr al-Shughour was crushed by Bashar's father in 1980 with scores of deaths.Assad has sent in tanks to crush demonstrations in certain flashpoints.He also has made some reformist gestures, such as issuing a general amnesty to political prisoners and launching national dialogue, but protesters and opposition figures have dismissed such measures.(Additional reporting by Dominic Evans; Editing by Jon Hemming)

Ongoing rains worsen record-breaking floods along Missouri River The Christian Science Monitor By Mark Guarino – JUNE 6,11

Chicago – Heavy flooding along the Missouri River will last throughout the summer, predict federal officials. The surging waters, created by unprecedented weather conditions, have already caused levee failures, and more are expected to come.The Missouri River and its tributaries in Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota are swelling with water. A confluence of factors are driving the rising waters, notably the record heavy snowfall earlier this year in the Rocky Mountain region. Snow accumulation was 140 percent above normal, says Lynn Maximuk, director of the National Weather Service in the central region.We do have quite an unusual set of circumstances, meteorologically,Mr. Maximuk told reporters Monday afternoon.

The unusually heavy snows – combined with ongoing heavy rains, expected to continue all summer – will create a total runoff of some 55 million acre-feet of water, according to projections from the US Army Corps of Engineers. (An acre-foot of water is the equivalent of one foot of water covering one acre of land.)That’s the highest runoff level since they began keeping records in 1898.The immediate danger this week comes from heavy storms, expected to move south along the river valley. Meteorologists predict that 2 inches of rain in Montana and North Dakota and up to 3 inches of rain in Omaha, Neb., will fall over the next few days, Maximuk says.May was the second-wettest month for northern Wyoming, Montana, and North Dakota since 1889.To relieve pressure on the river, the Corps plans to release 150,000 cubic feet per second of water at the Oahe Dam above Pierre, S.D., on Tuesday. The other dams will be opened in succession, remaining open through mid-August.Kevin Grode, a Missouri Basin reservoir regulation team leader with the Corps, says the amount of water released may increase, depending on the changing climate.We are going to be testing the system, he stresses,because we’ll be releasing more water than has ever been released before.Local officials in some states are criticizing the Corps for not opening the dams earlier, which Mr. Grode challenges. Conditions in the basin were not as extreme as they are now,he says.We did not see a great need.Water is already surging at all six of the dams along the river, breaking records at each one. According to Grode, runoff waters are highest at Gavins Point, located near Yankton, S.D. The flow there reached 10.5 million acre-feet, breaking a previous record of 7.2 acre-feet, set in 1995.

While Grode says the dams are all very safe, the levee system is more vulnerable – and will likely be stressed throughout the year, he warns. Tributary systems that feed into the Missouri River are also expected to flood.A levee breach near Hamburg, Iowa, on Sunday resulted in a mandatory evacuation of residents. Corps officials have not yet determined what caused the breach. The National Guard dropped 22 thousand-pound sandbags on the levee, as an emergency measure to keep the water from flowing through the breach. Flooding will stretch two miles inland, officials predict.Rising river levels have resulted in sandbagging efforts and road closures in virtually every state bordering the river. In Fort Calhoun, Neb., about 20 miles north of Omaha, a nuclear power plant declared an emergency and shut down. The Omaha Public Power District, which operates the plant, said it does not expect any release of radioactive material.Surging waters can also delay emergency efforts underway to repair the Birds Point-New Madrid Floodway in Mississippi County, Mo., which was opened in May to mitigate surging Mississippi waters traveling downstream toward Memphis.Officials are uncertain how much the flooding along the Missouri River will deepen the waters of the Mississippi River.Obviously, with more water coming from the Missouri River,Maximuk notes,there will be more water in the Mississippi River.
Their combined flows could lead to more flooding in southeast Missouri and southern Illinois, where local waters levels are still elevated from similar flooding in May.

US May tornado damage up to $7 bn: estimate
– Mon Jun 6, 11:48 am ET

WASHINGTON (AFP) – Losses from the deadly burst of tornados that swept the US south and midwest late last month could hit as much as $7 billion, a company which estimates catastrophe damages said Monday.Insured losses from the massive twister that killed a record 138 people in Joplin, Missouri, on May 22, and 150 other tornados that struck during May 20-27, are likely to run $4-7 billion, AIR Worldwide estimated.The losses include residential, commercial, and industrial properties and their contents, and automobiles, Boston-based AIR said.The late May storms were only a part of the most deadly and damaging tornado season in the country in 75 years, leaving a swathe of destruction across several states and 523 dead.It is also becoming quickly apparent that 2011 will surpass 2008 in terms of insured losses from severe thunderstorm activity. Indeed, the two major outbreaks of this year -- the first in late April, the second in late May -- are the costliest on record, AIR's principal scientist Tim Doggett said in a statement.An outbreak of dozens of tornados killed 314 people in five states on April 27.Twenty states suffered damage in the late May storms, AIR said.Thousands of buildings were damaged, hundreds more were completely destroyed, and more than a thousand people were injured,it said.

Wall Street hits 2-1/2 month low on economic worry
By Chuck Mikolajczak – Mon Jun 6, 4:32 pm ET

NEW YORK (Reuters) – The S&P 500 extended its slide to a fourth day on Monday, hitting its lowest level since March 18, as a spate of recent weak U.S. data lent support to a bearish outlook for the economy.Sectors most closely associated with economic fortunes took the biggest beating, with shares of Bank of America Corp (BAC.N) off 4 percent to $10.83, the stock's lowest close since May 2009.As stocks have continued to fall, buying support has dried up, sending the S&P 500 through a series of technical support levels.The concern there deals with the weakening job market, capital requirements, quality of assets -- particularly with the double-dip in housing and flattening yield curve. All those things are working against financials and set a weaker tone for the market as a whole,said Bucky Hellwig, senior vice president at BB&T Wealth Management in Birmingham, Alabama.Energy shares were also among the hardest-hit sectors, with the PHLX oil service sector index (.OSX) off 3.2 percent. Chevron Corp (CVX.N) dropped 1.3 percent to $9.68 as the biggest drag on the Dow.Oil fell in choppy trading on increased expectations OPEC will boost production targets this week as concerns about high prices curbing oil demand lingered.There has been concern that the driving season has peaked already as a result of the slowing economy, and that puts pressure on the refined products and concurrently on the crude products, said Hellwig.U.S. stocks have been battered over the past five weeks on a number of disappointing reports, culminating in Friday's U.S. employment report, which showed employers added a meager 54,000 jobs last month and the unemployment rate rose to 9.1 percent.

With the second-quarter earnings season more than a month away, the market focused on the uncertain economic outlook.The Dow Jones industrial average (.DJI) dropped 61.15 points, or 0.50 percent, to 12,090.11. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index (.SPX) fell 13.99 points, or 1.08 percent, to 1,286.17. The Nasdaq Composite Index (.IXIC) lost 30.22 points, or 1.11 percent, to 2,702.56.In a sign a slowing economy could hurt earnings, JP Morgan cut its rating on home improvement chain Lowes Cos Inc (LOW.N), citing softening home prices and stagnant job growth. The shares fell 2.3 percent to $22.87.Apple Inc (AAPL.O) dipped 1.6 percent to $338.04 after Chief Executive Steve Jobs appeared at the unveiling of a music-streaming service the company hopes will power its next stage of growth.An exchange-traded fund that tracks Peruvian stocks tumbled about twice its daily average volume after left-wing former army commander Ollanta Humala won the presidential election.The iShares MSCI All Peru Capped Index Fund (EPU.P) fell about 13.8 percent to $37.53, while U.S.-traded shares of miner Compania de Minas Buenaventura (BUEv.LM) (BVN.N) dropped 15 percent to $35.75.Volume was light with about 6.8 billion shares traded on the New York Stock Exchange, NYSE Amex and Nasdaq, below the daily average of 7.61 billion.Declining stocks outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by 2,394 to 618, while on the Nasdaq, decliners beat advancers 2,024 to 588.(Reporting by Chuck Mikolajczak; Editing by Kenneth Barry)

U.S. to hold meetings in heartland over Canada oil pipe By Timothy Gardner – JUN 6,11

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – As a proposed $7 billion pipeline to bring Canadian oil sands petroleum to refiners in Texas faces local opposition, the State Department will hold public meetings in five states the line would travel through before it decides whether the project can go forward.The State Department, which hopes to decide whether to grant TransCanada Corp's Keystone XL line a so-called presidential permit before the end of the year, said on Monday it would hold public meetings in Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas as well as a meeting in Washington, D.C.

The meetings would be held within 30 days after the department makes issues a final environmental impact statement on the line.These meetings will give the public an opportunity to voice their views on economic, energy security, environmental and safety issues, in addition to any other issues the public thinks should be taken into account in determining whether granting or denying the Presidential Permit would be in the national interest, the State Department said in a release.The Department was forced to issue a supplemental review of the 700,000 barrels per day pipeline in April after the Environmental Protection Agency complained an initial report did not adequately assess risks to water tables, output of greenhouse gases from production of oil sands petroleum, and alternative routes.Leaders in Nebraska and other states in the U.S. heartland have complained the proposed line would be built over the Ogallala Aquifer, a vast, but shallow water table farmers depend on to irrigate a large swath of U.S. crops.The opposition to the Keystone XL has intensified after two spills last month on the original line, known simply as the Keystone pipeline.The comment period on the State Department's supplemental review ended on Monday and a spokeswoman there said some 8,000 comments on the line were received.The oil consultant group IHS CERA submitted comments in the form of a report that said the pipeline would provide more flexibility to U.S. crude supplies and enable more domestic crude output in the Bakken region of North Dakota. Production of Bakken oil has spiked recently as drilling technologies have advanced.

One of the report's authors said the Keystone XL line could reduce fuel prices for Americans. If all things are equal, and you bring more crude to the Gulf Coast, more supply would mean a lower gasoline price, said Jackie Forrest, IHS CERA director of global oil.The report also said greenhouse gas emissions of imports from the Canadian oil sands, which is energy-intensive to produce, are about 6 percent higher than from the average crude oil consumed in the United States, a figure lower than estimates from the EPA.Supporters of the line, including many Republicans in Congress, have said it would lower fuel prices and provide jobs and that China would use the oil if the United States did not.U.S. agencies, including the Department of Energy and the EPA, will get a chance to comment for 90 days once the State Department finalizes its environmental review. If the agencies oppose the final review, they could force the final decision to be made by the White House

2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.

1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. 5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.

28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
31 In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.

39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

GENESIS 6:11-13

41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

MK Danon: President Obama, Take Your Hands Off Jerusalem by Fern Sidman, INN NY Correspondent JUNE 6,11

Serving as keynote speaker at the 34th annual Ateret Cohanim/Jerusalem Chai dinner on June 1st, Deputy Speaker of the Knesset Danny Danon assumed an obdurate posture on the recent dramatic shift in US foreign policy as it pertains to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In a direct reference to President Obama’s controversial address to the State Department on May 19th, in which he called on Israel to retreat to the 1967 boundaries [the 1949 armistice lines –ed.] in a gesture towards the creation of an independent Palestinian state, Mr. Danon declared, President Obama: Take your hands off Jerusalem, take your hands off of Israel.Speaking from the dias at the Terrace On the Park hall in Flushing, New York, Mr. Danon’s remarks were enthusiastically received by his audience of over 500. Addressing the most egregious forms of terrorism, MK Danon said that President Obama is ignoring reality when he attempts to make a distinction between the objectives of Hamas and al-Qaeda. They are one and the same and we in Israel know very well that you cannot appease terrorists, but rather, you must fight terrorists.Exhorting the US president to focus his foreign policy agenda towards a concrete plan of action that will confront Iran’s nuclear capability instead of pressuring Israel into making suicidal territorial concessions, Mr. Danon praised the US for undertaking the Navy SEAL mission that resulted in the killing of al-Qaeda mastermind, Osama bin Laden. Israel should be doing as the US has done in terms of fighting terror and we can learn an excellent lesson from this dramatic and courageous mission.

Proffering a bold alternative to the Palestinian Authority proposed world vote at the United Nations in September that would ostensibly result in the establishment of a Fatah-Hamas run state, Mr. Danon said, I am not afraid of what will happen in September. By using the UN to push for a state, the Palestinians are in violation of the Oslo accords. When the UN will decide unilaterally to vote for the creation of a Palestinian state, we will immediately declare independence throughout Judea and Samaria.As the prospect of the division of Jerusalem looms large in a US-initiated negotiated settlement, Mr. Danon spoke of the historic tradition that represented a common denominator amongst previous Israeli Prime Ministers as it pertained to maintaining the holy city as the eternal capital of the Jewish people.David Ben Gurion moved the Knesset from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Levi Eshkol did not differentiate between East and West Jerusalem or who lived there before 1967 and who lived there after that,he said, adding that, 80% of Israelis polled are against compromise of any form on the status of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.Quoting former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzchak Shamir, Mr. Danon offered a sanguine perspective on Israel’s future. Mr. Shamir has often said that we need three things to win this war. The first is ideology and that is represented through our belief in and adherence to the precepts of the Torah. The second thing is organization and we have that here in Ateret Cohanim. The third thing is a steadfast commitment to overcome all adversity and to prevail against those who seek out destruction and, thank G-d, we possess this magnificent trait.Founded by Matityahu HaCohen Dan, a young, idealistic veteran of the Israel Defense Forces, Ateret Cohanim’s mission is predicated upon the fulfillment of a generations-old dream of rebuilding and securing Jerusalem as the eternal capital of Israel.

Bringing this inspiring vision to fruition through a unique program of strengthening Jewish roots, Ateret Cohanim/Jerusalem Chai has succeeded in re-establishing vibrant Jewish communities that are centered around yeshivot and other educational institution in the Kotel Quarter, also known as the Muslim and Christian quarters of the holy city.Representing the Jewish residents of the Old City of Jerusalem at this year’s dinner was Chaya Shira (Frimer) Tanami who lives in the Yemenite Village. A shining paradigm of exceptional courage, Mrs. Tanami and others like her exemplify a pioneering spirit that serves as a beacon of light and hope for the future of Jerusalem. The recipients of the auspicious Bonei Yerushalayim award included Shlomo and Naomi Min-Ha Har Gottfried of Maalot Dafna, Jerusalem, Henoch and Tova Messner of Monsey, New York and Nessem and Lynne Tammam of Great Neck, New York.Always reluctant to accept public honors, Nessim and Lynne were kind enough to present their views on the vital work of Ateret Cohanim and the future of Jerusalem. Jerusalem holds a special significance for me because I was born in Libya and grew up in a neighborhood that was very similar to the Old City of Jerusalem but needless to say, things were very different. The Arabs controlled every facet of our lives and we accepted subjugation in order to avoid suffering their wrath,intoned Mr. Tammam.Explaining the etymological basis of the word Jerusalem, Mr. Tammam said, The first part of the word in Hebrew is yerusha, meaning inheritance, and the last part of the word is shalom. We have come to the city of our inheritance in peace and by claiming our inheritance, given to us by G-d, we will earn the respect of the world and the Arabs and in the end, peace will follow.Addressing the ever present need for security in the Old City, Mr. Tammam ruefully observed, The 70 or more Jewish families in the Old City must live with 24 hour heavy security. What kind of life is that? They risk their lives every single day in order to make it possible for our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren to live there, one day, please G-d, in peace.With a sense of optimism and hope, Mr. Tammam added,Ateret Cohanim has stepped in and sponsored the installation and maintenance of state-of-the-art security systems and has initiated educational programs so that people can live in safety, both physically and emotionally, and for that we should all be deeply indebted.Having purchased a property in the Old City called Beit Schechter, Henoch and Tova Messner, also recipients of the Bonei Yerushalayim award, recalled its glorious past. This property was named after its original owners who lived there from the 1880s until the 1930s when they were driven out by Arab rioters during the infamous pogroms.said Mr. Messner.Prior to making the purchase they sought the counsel of HaRav Yosef Shalom Elyashiv, shlita.When we asked Rav Elyashiv if he thought this cause was important enough for us to become involved with, he was surprised that a Jew could even ask this question. He felt that it was such an imperative thing to do that he gave us his full endorsement and encouraged us to get others involved,said Mr. Messner, adding that,there is nothing more natural than a Jew buying a house in Jerusalem. The students of the Vilna Gaon did the same 200 years ago and Ateret Cohanim is at the forefront of continuing this special work today.

Mr. Messner said that, The designation of East and West Jerusalem was created for the purpose of removing Jews from half of the city which they once owned and inhabited before they were forcefully removed. In fact, when the Schechter family lived in their home which we redeemed, the Jews were the predominant majority in that part of the city.Describing the Torah obligation of every Jew to reclaim Jerusalem, he said, The halacha is that one is allowed to acquire a non-Jewish owned house in Jerusalem on Shabbos if it becomes available and should not wait until after Shabbos because the deal may no longer be available then. This demonstrates the importance of this mitzvah.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

Pope Meets Abbas, Keeps Quiet on Cleansing of Christians by Gil Ronen JUNE 5,11

Pope Benedict XVI met the leader of the so Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, at the Vatican Friday and said there was an urgent need for a lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that included a PA state. A statement issued by the Vatican after the talks did not mention the extremely violent way in which the PA has caused most of its Christian Arab population to flee.Reports have offered extensive documentation that the PA encouraged a sharp demographic shift in Bethlehem, where the Christian population went from a 60 percent majority in 1990 to a 40 percent minority in 2000, to about 15 percent of the city's total population in 2008.In its statement after the meeting, the Vatican said that the pope and Abbas had discussed the irreplaceable contribution provided by Christian minorities living in the PA territories and the Middle East.The pope has spoken out on numerous occasions about the persecution of Christians in Muslim lands. Last year, he convened a meeting of bishops at the Vatican to discuss the ongoing crisis. Recently, he voiced his concern at the killing of Christian Copts in Egypt.

In the latest meeting with Abbas, Particular stress was laid on the urgent need to find a just and lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict,the Vatican stated. Such a solution would have to respect the rights of all parties including the attainment of the Palestinian people's legitimate aspirations for an independent state,it added.This is the fourth time the two have met since Benedict became pope.

Hamas, Islamic Jihad Break Unity with Abbas over French Offer by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu JUNE 5,11

Hamas and Islamic Jihad have broken ranks with their new Unity partner Mahmoud Abbas after he accepted a French offer for talks with Israel.Abbas, head of the rival Fatah faction and chairman of the Palestinian Authority, said he welcomed the offer of French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe for talks about President Obama's vision ...in which he spoke about a (Palestinian) state with the 67 borders with borders with Israel, Egypt and Jordan.Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu told the Cabinet Sunday morning there can be no negotiations with Abbas so long as Hamas remains a partner in his government. Hamas-Fatah unity is a lynchpin for any diplomatic initiative by Abbas, who cannot claim to represent Gaza without the presence of Hamas, the de facto ruler in the region.The two rival factions signed a unity deal in Egypt last month after four years of openly bitter relations following the Hamas military coup that ousted Fatah as the ruling force in Gaza.The new unity pact is seen as more superficial than substantial, as evidence by reactions to Abbas’ acceptance of Juppe’s offer.

Salah al-Bardaweel, a senior Hamas leader in the Gaza Strip, told the Chinese news agency Xinhua that Abbas' acceptance was a hasty step; it is a wrong step and meaningless. It would again bring us to an empty circle of absurd talks that will again hurt the internal Palestinian unity.What is needed is that Abbas should immediately stop making unilateral decisions. He should consult with the other political powers and factions if he is really committed to the signed reconciliation agreement.Dawood Shihab, spokesman of the Islamic Jihad movement, told Xinhua that resuming talks with Israel means returning again to the empty circle, to the waste of time and serving Israel's interests.Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine’s Emad Abu Rahma charged that the French initiative aims at blocking the Palestinians from applying to the United Nations…. Abbas made a mistake although he knows the final outcomes of resuming such talks with Israel. We call on Abbas to reject these initiatives and stop talking to Israel.A senior Palestinian Authority official told foreign media that Abbas accepted the French bid because it is becoming increasingly apparent that the Arab League will not succeed in bringing to the United Nations General Assembly a motion to declare the PA as a country based on the non-negotiated borders that it demands.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

Why a European at the IMF?

After initial excitement that the resignation of Dominique Strauss-Kahn might lead to an emerging market candidate to follow him as head of the IMF, Europe has placed its seal firmly upon a successor – Strauss-Kahn’s own distant replacement as French Minister of Finance, Christine Lagarde.At first glance, the insistence on a European candidate may seem odd. After all, even if the shareholders of a major company, such as Louis Vuitton, all come from a particular area – say, the western suburbs of Paris – they would be crazy to insist on having a CEO from the same neighbourhood. Their interest lies in finding the most competent person for the job. They are likely to search far and wide to find that person.A similar logic may apply to the IMF, where European countries already have the lion’s share of the votes. Whoever becomes managing director will be responsible to Europe’s directors on the Board, so why insist on having a European to serve them?

The real reason, of course, is political. Europe needs a European to run the IMF, because in the absence of easy credit from the International Monetary Fund, the euro area is politically incapable of arranging and taking responsibility for its own eurozone rescue package. Moreover, even if it were thus capable, many believe that it is not in the best interests of the eurozone to do so.Let us unpack this a little further. The need for a European to shepherd through easy credit is simple enough: most of the IMF’s lending is now in the European neighbourhood, including also non-eurozone countries such as Hungary, Ukraine or Iceland. The IMF package for Greece, at €30bn, was already the largest in its history, and the package for Portugal, approved last week, added another €26bn. A similar package for Spain could add over €100bn. Italy could be twice as large still. These are vast amounts, and will be hugely controversial if and when they arise. A non-EU director might not be inclined to jeopardise such sums.Yet why cannot the eurozone arrange its own bailout mechanism? After all, rather than rely on the IMF for financing, Europe could very well establish its own European monetary fund, funded by Germany, France, and the Netherlands. Indeed, this is in part what the EFSF and the future ESM are intended to accomplish. However, as I have discussed long ago, the reality of a European Monetary Fund would spell death for the project of European integration. It would mean core European nations taking direct responsibility for implementing austerity policies in the eurozone periphery, and taking the resultant political flak. EU nations simply do not have the political capital to dictate harsh spending cuts in neighbouring countries, unlike the IMF, which does so as a matter of routine. By shifting surveillance of austerity packages during their most difficult period to the Fund, the core Eurozone countries are able to continue dictating the agenda, but via the front of an international organisation with greater credibility, manouverability, and anonymity.

But what about simply allowing Greece and Ireland to default? After all, under the present Eurogroup and IMF packages, Greece and Ireland can neither pay off their debts, nor default on them, and are thus maintained in permanent debt servitude. Is this not a terrible policy failure? The answer is no, insofar as these packages were never designed to save Greece and Ireland in the first place. Rather, their purpose is to save the eurozone banking system from collapse. The key beneficiaries of this long, drawn-out process are Dexia, BNP Paribas, and Commerzbank, and behind them, the French and German governments who currently insure their losses. Everyone knows that eventually, Greece and Ireland will have to default, but if they do so in two years time rather than today, then this gives eurozone banks enough time to transfer their assets to the European Central Bank, while shoring up their capital base ahead of the impending haircut. Leaving aside the problem of ECB recapitalisation, this means the contagion effect will be minimised: at the very least, it will not least to the wholesale meltdown that would have occurred if a default were effected today, say, or last summer.Europe therefore needs a European to run the IMF: but not for reasons of competency, or familiarity. Rather, it is because the eurozone is incapable of fixing its own problems, and requires a candidate pliant and willing enough to take the controversial decisions needed for the currency bloc’s survival. Even, one might add, if such decisions may be perilous for the IMF itself.This entry was posted on May 29, 2011, 5:47 pm and is filed under EU.

THE FIRST JUDGEMENT OF THE EARTH STARTED WITH WATER-IT ONLY MAKES SENSE THE LAST GENERATION WILL BE HAVING FLOODING
GENESIS 7:6-12
6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
GOD PROMISED BY A RAINBOW-THE EARTH WOULD NEVER BE DESTROYED TOTALLY WITH A FLOOD AGAIN.BUT FLOODIING IS A SIGN OF JUDGEMENT.

Heavy rain lashes Guyana's border with Brazil
– Sun Jun 5, 7:02 pm ET

GEORGETOWN, Guyana – Officials in Guyana say heavy rains have inundated farm fields, a power station and other areas of low-lying river towns on this South America country's border with Brazil.Regional authorities said Sunday that southwestern border towns and parts of the neighboring Brazilian state of Roraima are waterlogged after the Takatu River burst its banks amid downpours. There have been no reports of deaths or injuries.Engineers have shut down a flooded power plant in the area, and dozens of residents have moved to higher ground.Rains have been lashing parts of tropical Guyana for three weeks. Flooding is a constant threat during the country's rainy season.

Evacuations in Haiti as lake overflows its banks
By RAMON ESPINOSA, Associated Press – Sun Jun 5, 6:43 pm ET

THOMAZEAU, Haiti – The Haitian government and international aid groups evacuated more than 50 families to dry land Sunday after the Caribbean country's largest lake overflowed from days of heavy rains.Brackish water spilled from Lake Azuei before dawn, flooding sections of low-lying land around several villages near Thomazeau, a town northeast of the capital.The United Nations' Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs dispatched a convoy of trucks and boats early Sunday to aid villagers whose homes were at risk of flooding, U.N. spokeswoman Elaine Nabaa said.
Nadia Lochard, an official with Haiti's Civil Protection Department, said 56 families agreed to leave their homes, while others chose to stay because they feared their possessions would be stolen or they needed to tend to livestock. The evacuated families were moved to a church in Thomazeau.Earlier Sunday, representatives of humanitarian groups said about 1,000 villagers would likely need to be evacuated. Nabaa said they received this number from Haiti's Civil Protection Department.

Lochard declined to answer questions about the discrepancy.But the number of people who need to be evacuated near Lake Azuei could easily climb in the coming days as rain continued along the Haitian-Dominican border.Lake Azuei has had problems with flooding for years. Canals that are supposed to stabilize the large lake's water level have long been clogged with trash and sediment, leading to flooding. Hillsides surrounding the lake are deforested, allowing water and sediment to run into the lake.Haiti has seen weeks of downpours as the rainy season shifts into the hurricane season, which officially began last week.President Michel Martelly visited the flooded areas on the border Sunday morning, his spokesman, Damian Merlo, wrote on Twitter. Merlo didn't respond to phone calls seeking comment.Associated Press writer Trenton Daniel in Port-au-Prince contributed to this report.

Death toll from Joplin tornado rises to 141 - officials– Sun Jun 5, 5:32 pm ET

CHICAGO (Reuters) – The death toll from the May 22 Joplin, Missouri tornado has risen to 141, city officials said on Sunday.Lynn Iliff Onstot, public information officer for Joplin, said the city had identified three new victims who died from injuries sustained as a result of the twister.The massive F-5 tornado cut a six-mile swath through the southwest Missouri city just as residents were sitting down to Sunday dinner. It was the deadliest single tornado in the United States since 1947.
Tornadoes have battered the country this spring, killing more than 500 people, mostly in the south. A twister even struck Massachusetts, where tornadoes are rare, last week, killing four people.(Reporting by James B. Kelleher; Editing by Jerry Norton)

Israeli troops battle protesters in Syria, 20 dead
By DANIELLA CHESLOW, Associated Press – JUNE 5,11

MAJDAL SHAMS, Golan Heights – Israeli troops on Sunday battled hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters who tried to burst across Syria's frontier with the Golan Heights, killing a reported 20 people and wounding scores more in the second outbreak of deadly violence in the border area in less than a month.The clashes, marking the anniversary of the Arab defeat in the 1967 Mideast war, drew Israeli accusations that Syria was orchestrating the violence to shift attention away from a bloody crackdown on opposition protests at home. The marchers, who had organized on Facebook, passed by Syrian and U.N. outposts on their way to the front lines.The Syrian government is trying to create a provocation, said Israel's chief military spokesman, Brig. Gen. Yoav Mordechai. This border has been quiet for decades, but only now with all the unrest in Syrian towns is there an attempt to draw attention to the border.Human rights groups say President Bashar Assad's forces killed at least 25 people in northern Syria over the weekend, and another 65 activists were killed in the central city of Hama on Friday, as anti-government protests spread through the country demanding his resignation.There was no Syrian comment on why the protesters were allowed to storm the border, apparently undisturbed by authorities. But Syria's state-run media portrayed the event as a spontaneous uprising of Palestinian youths from a nearby refugee camp.After nightfall Sunday, Syria's state TV said there would be an open-ended sit-in at the border, and thousands more protesters were on their way.

The protests began around 11 a.m. with what appeared to be several dozen youths, brought in on buses. It gained strength through the day.By evening, the crowd had swelled to more than 1,000 people, who milled about, prayed and chanted slogans in an uneasy standoff with Israeli troops in the distance. The army bolstered its positions, posting a dozen armored vehicles and jeeps along the border road.A small group of youths managed to cut through a recently fortified coil of barbed-wire and took up positions in a trench inside a buffer zone about 20 yards (meters) from a final border fence. Israeli troops periodically opened fire at young activists jumping into the ditch, sending puffs of soil flying into the air.As the standoff stretched into the evening, Israeli forces fired heavy barrages of tear gas to break up the crowds. Hundreds of people fled the area in panic, while some 20 people laying on the ground received treatment. It was not immediately clear whether the crowd would return to the front lines.At nightfall, crowds of people fell to the ground in Muslim prayer, and several small groups lit bonfires, indicating the standoff would continue.Israel had promised a tough response after being caught off guard in last month's demonstrations, when troops killed more than a dozen people in clashes along the Syrian and Lebanese borders. In Syria, hundreds of unarmed protesters managed to breach the border and entered the Israel-controlled Golan for several hours.

The May 15 unrest occurred on the anniversary of Israel's birth in 1948, a day the Palestinians refer to as the nakba, or catastrophe.Sunday's clashes marked the naksa, or setback, the term the Palestinians use for the defeat in the 1967 Mideast war. During that war, Israel conquered the Golan Heights from Syria, the West Bank and east Jerusalem from Jordan, and the Gaza Strip and Sinai peninsula from Egypt in just six days of fighting.Israel returned Sinai to Egypt under a 1979 peace accord, and withdrew from Gaza in 2005.The Palestinians seek the West Bank and east Jerusalem, along with Gaza, for a future state, while Syria demands a return of the Golan, a strategic plateau overlooking northern Israel which Israel has annexed, as the price for peace.Still, until last month, Syria has steadfastly kept its border with Israel quiet for nearly 40 years, fueling the Israeli accusations that Syria was trying to draw attention away from the months of protests that have left more than 1,200 Syrians dead.Ahead of Sunday's unrest, the army said it would deploy large numbers of forces, along with anti-riot weaponry like tear gas and water cannons, to prevent a repeat of the May clashes.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he ordered forces to show maximum restraint, but also said Israel would protect its sovereignty.Unfortunately, extremist forces around us are trying today to breach our borders and threaten our communities and our citizens. We will not let them do that,he told his Cabinet.The Israeli military said it used live fire only after firing warning shots into the air and issuing verbal warnings to protesters to stay away.Protesters waved Palestinian flags and threw rocks and trash over the fence, and the sporadic pops of Israeli gunfire were heard throughout the day. The wounded were taken away on stretchers by groups of young men.We were trying to cut the barbed wire when the Israeli soldiers began shooting directly at us, Ghayath Awad, a 29-year-old Palestinian who had been shot in the waist, told the AP at the hospital.

Residents of Majdal Shams, ethnic Druse who remain Syrian citizens while living on the Israeli side of the frontier, watched the protest from rooftops, booing each time the military tried to speak and cheering on the protesters. When troops fired tear gas, a crowd of residents — some holding Syrian or Palestinian flags — began to scream and hurl stones from rooftops at the nearby forces. Israeli anti-riot police fired tear gas and moved into the town. Village elders with thick mustaches argued with the forces, but there were no signs of violence.Throughout the day, ambulances raced to the hospital in the Syrian border town of Quneitra with the wounded and dead. State-run Syrian TV said 20 people were killed, including a woman and teenage boy, and 325 were wounded, 12 critically. Hospital officials confirmed the casualty count, providing names of all the dead.Capt. Barak Raz, an Israeli military spokesman, confirmed that protesters made it through a first layer of the border fence — the area protected by barbed wire — but got no closer than 160 yards (meters) away from the final fence. He said the army would continue to operate throughout the night to prevent border breaches.He refused to confirm reports that Israel had laid land mines along the area, saying only that the army took measures to ensure we wouldn't allow any crossing into Israel.The army claimed that protesters threw firebombs that ignited land mines on the Syrian side of the border. There was no confirmation from the Syrian side.The recent protests have drawn attention to the plight of Palestinian refugees who fled or were expelled from their homes during Israel's war of independence in 1948. The original refugees, and their descendants, now number several million, and they demand the right to return to the families' former properties.We want on this occasion to remind America and the whole world that we have a right to return to our country, said Mohammed Hasan, a 16-year-old student who was wounded in both feet.As a Palestinian living in Syria, he is likely the descendant of people who left or fled the area that became Israel during the 1948-49 Middle East war.Israel opposes the return of these people, saying it would spell the end of the country as a Jewish state. The plight of the refugees and their descendants is one of the most difficult issues in any future Israeli-Palestinian peace accord.Around half a million Palestinian refugees live across 13 camps in Syria, a country with a population of 23 million. Palestinians are allowed to work and study in government and private schools, but they do not have citizenship and cannot vote. In neighboring Lebanon, Palestinian refugees are largely discriminated against and banned from all but the most menial professions.
Things were relatively calm on Israel's other borders on Sunday.About 400 Gazans hoisting Palestinian flags and posters gathered near the main passenger crossing into Israel, but riot police from Hamas, which runs the Gaza Strip, prevented them from marching toward the crossing.At the West Bank's main crossing into Jerusalem, several hundred Palestinian young people tried to approach the checkpoint. They threw stones at Israeli forces, who responded with tear gas and rubber bullets. No major injuries were reported.Palestinian organizers in Lebanon called off a planned march to the Israeli border after Lebanese authorities had declared the area a closed military zone.With contributions from AP writers Albert Aji in Quneitra, Syria, Zeina Karam in Beirut, Mohammed Daraghmeh in Ramallah, West Bank, Ibrahim Barzak in Gaza City, Gaza Strip and Matti Friedman in Jerusalem.

China shops for Latin American oil, food, minerals
By IAN JAMES, Associated Press – Sun Jun 5, 2:43 pm ET

CARACAS, Venezuela – Latin America is blessed with a wealth of natural resources such as oil, copper and soy, and seeks investment and loans to capitalize on them. China needs the commodities to keep its economy growing and has about $3 trillion in reserves to burn.Those interests have come together in a burgeoning and unorthodox partnership, as China lends and invests tens of billions of dollars in countries around Latin America in return for a guaranteed flow of commodities, particularly oil.Recent deals have made China a key financier to the governments of Venezuela and Argentina. At the same time, Chinese companies have secured a decade's worth of oil from Venezuela and Brazil, and steady supplies of wheat, soybeans and natural gas from Argentina.China is breaking new ground by aggressively locking down commodities around Latin America through large loans, investments and other financial arrangements, said Orville Schell, director of the Center on U.S.-China Relations at the Asia Society in New York.I don't know of any other government which has done this sort of securing of rights for commodities and natural resources so systematically around the Third World as China, and they've used a whole host of new financial instruments to do this,Schell said.China's been very, very prolific in spreading its investments around Africa and Latin America, even though the terms aren't ideal.

Ernesto Fernandez Taboada, director of the Argentine-Chinese Chamber of Production, Industry and Commerce, said China is simply making sure it has the resources it needs to continue growing its economy, which, by some accounts, is projected to surpass the U.S.'s by 2020.For China, this is a strategic, long-term investment, Fernandez Taboada said.They're thinking in the future, not just in the moment. These oil investments, for example, are for 15 to 20 years.Some of the largest investments have gone to Brazil and Argentina, but China has extended even bigger loans to Venezuela, agreeing to provide more than $32 billion to President Hugo Chavez's government.Venezuela will pay its debt in oil, and in increasing amounts of it during the next decade. The infusion of cash has swiftly made China Venezuela's biggest foreign lender, enabling Chavez to boost spending ahead of next year's presidential election.Viva China! Chavez exclaimed during a televised meeting with business leaders from Beijing, thanking them for helping set up mobile phone factories and build railways and public housing in Venezuela. He gushed: I'm in love with China.The relationship is driven in part by Chavez's eagerness to form alliances that exclude the U.S. But it's also good business for Chinese companies: Venezuela says it has been exporting to China about 460,000 barrels a day, about 20 percent of its oil exports, according to official figures. It hopes to double that soon.Venezuela has what we need, said Chen Ping, political counselor at the Chinese Embassy in Caracas. And we also have what they need, for example technology ... Therefore we can help each other mutually.The loans are typically secured against revenues from oil sales to Chinese companies, purportedly at market prices, though there could be discounts in some cases, said Erica Downs, an expert at the Brookings Institution think tank in Washington. She wrote a March report on the China Development Bank's energy deals worldwide.In many cases, financing is being channeled through the state-controlled China Development Bank, which has worked with Chinese companies to lock in commodity supplies.

Downs said such loans give Chinese state oil companies an edge by allowing them special access to local projects. In some cases, she said, such as in Venezuela and Argentina, the loans appear tied to hiring Chinese companies that carry out public works projects for the borrowing government.China's financing has also been unique, she said, in that in recent years virtually no other financial institutions were willing to lend such large amounts of capital for such long terms.Countries such as Venezuela and Ecuador would otherwise have few options for obtaining such large lines of credit, in part due to their presidents' hostility toward traditional lenders such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, Downs said.The China Development Bank has become a convenient lender of last resort, Downs said, and Venezuela's government, in fact, has become the bank's biggest foreign borrower.

In Ecuador, the Chinese oil company PetroChina agreed in 2009 to lend $1 billion to state company PetroEcuador in exchange for oil deliveries. The China Development Bank also agreed to lend $1 billion last year to Ecuador's government, to be repaid through oil shipments.The Chinese stake appears set to grow exponentially.Direct Chinese investments totaled more than $15 billion in Latin America and the Caribbean last year — 9 percent of the region's foreign direct investment, according to a May report by the U.N. Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean.The report said that while the U.S. is still Latin America's largest investment source, China has climbed to third place, behind the Netherlands.In Argentina, Chinese companies have even replaced U.S. and British corporations in controlling lucrative natural gas and oil resources.Last year, the state-owned Chinese oil company CNOOC entered into a 50-50 joint venture with Bridas Energy Holdings Ltd., a family owned Argentine company. The joint venture then bought out British company BP's shares in Argentina-based Pan American Energy, giving it 18 percent of Argentina's oil and natural gas production. This year, the venture also purchased U.S.-based Exxon Mobil Corp.'s interests in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay, including a refinery and more than 700 service stations.Clearly, the U.S. remains the significant actor in Latin America and will remain so for the foreseeable future, said Eric Farnsworth, vice president of the Council of the Americas, a U.S.-based business group. But China's a huge part of the scene now. It was commodities exports to China over the last five years that allowed Latin America to weather the economic turmoil.One Chinese company not only locked in a long-term supply of commodities, but also set a more stable price for years to come and circumvented market rates, which have soared in part because of Chinese demand.China and Chile created a $2 billion sales, finance and investment joint venture in 2005 that guaranteed China 836,250 metric tons of copper over 15 years, at rates partially fixed on what was then the market price of $2.07 a pound. Chile's state-owned Codelco mining company had to put up its entire 49 percent interest in the venture as collateral, and give China Minmetals Corp. an option to purchase 100 percent of one of the world's most promising copper mines.

Chileans criticized the deal as a threat to their patrimony as they became aware of its details and copper prices soared. Both sides backed off the Chinese purchase option in 2008 to fend off the criticism, but with copper now trading above $4 a pound, Chile's top client is still getting thousands of tons of copper at far below market prices.China also controls 50 percent of Argentina's largest oil field, Cerro Dragon, and all the oil and gas reserves in the far southern Argentine province of Santa Cruz over the next 40 years, deals that became anti-government campaign issues in provincial elections.During recent visits to Brazil, Schell said he has heard wariness from businesspeople about a system in which Brazil sends their natural resources and China sends their flip-flops and consumer goods.Rubens Barbosa, Brazilian ambassador to the U.S. from 1999 to 2004 and now a business consultant, said Brazilian officials have complained that cheap Chinese exports have destroyed domestic industries such as shoe and textile manufacturers. Brazil this year imposed antidumping tariffs on imports of some Chinese fibers within months of China becoming Brazil's biggest trading partner.With trade, we have a problem because the aggressiveness of Chinese companies is very strong, Barbosa said. But the government still has a lot of interest in these relations with China. China is now the principal partner of Brazil.China's commercial ties with Brazil continue to grow. About 14 percent of the South American country's oil production went to China in 2009, and that portion is expected to expand because Brazilian oil company Petrobras signed a 10-year deal with Chinese-owned Unipec Asia to export 150,000 barrels of oil a day in the first year. The deal calls for exports of 200,000 barrels a day for the next nine years. At the same time, Petrobras secured a $10 billion, 10-year loan from the China Development Bank.Petrobras says the deals were separate and that the oil is not being used to pay back the loan. Still, the agreements ensure Chinese access to Brazil's booming oil production, which promises to skyrocket after vast offshore reserves discovered in 2008 come online.China has also been active across Argentina. The China Development Bank has offered a $2.6 billion, 10-year loan to revive a freight train system connecting Buenos Aires to much of Argentina's central heartland. In the country's Rio Negro province, the Metallurgical Corporation of China has invested $80 million to reactivate an iron ore mine, and China's Beidahuang Group company has promised $1.4 billion in irrigation infrastructure in exchange for a 20-year contract to grow corn, wheat, soy and dairy on otherwise dry land for Chinese consumers.And in remote southern Tierra del Fuego, near the tip of South America, Chinese companies are investing $1 billion, not only to produce fertilizer, but to build an energy plant, for which Argentina has promised China natural gas for 25 years.Two weeks ago, the Chinese commerce minister visited us with 60 business executives, and they showed great interest in investing in other sectors,Fernandez Taboada said.There is a fundamental expansion of China in Latin America. In all the countries, from Mexico on south.According to Schell, China is just getting started.This is a real tipping point moment, of which the Chinese investments in commodities and extractive resources of Latin America is just the opening bell, he said.Who's got the money? And it's not the United States any longer. It's China. This is the next great pool of (foreign investment) that the world is going to reckon with in myriad ways.Associated Press writers Michael Warren in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Bradley Brooks in Sao Paulo, Jack Chang in Mexico City and Jorge Rueda in Caracas contributed to this report.James can be reached at: http://twitter.com/ianjamesap

Portugal's PM-elect vows to honour EU-IMF bailout deal – Sun Jun 5, 7:42 pm ET

LISBON (AFP) – Portugal's prime minister in waiting Pedro Passos Coelho vowed Sunday to honour Lisbon's 78 billion euro bailout deal with the EU and IMF after his Social Democrats won an early election.I want to guarantee to those who are watching us from abroad that Portugal does not intend to be a burden for the future to other countries that lent us the means that we needed today to face up to our responsibilities, he said in his victory address.We will do everything possible to honour the agreement established between the Portuguese state, the European Union and the International Monetary Fund, to regain the confidence of markets, he added.

The PSD won 105 seats in the 230-seat parliament while the Socialists captured 73, the interior ministry said after only the results of votes cast abroad which select four seats in the assembly were left to count.The result leaves the party short of a majority but Passos Coelho said he would immediately seek to form a coalition government with the smaller, conservative CDS-PP party which won 24 seats.That would give the two parties, which last governed in a coalition between 2002 and 2005, an absolute majority of 129 seats in the assembly.Investors have kept Portugal's borrowing costs close to record levels even after the bailout agreement was reached in May on fears that the new government that emerges after the election may lack a strong enough mandate to get parliament to pass the austerity and reforms called for in the deal.The years ahead are going to require much courage on the part of all of Portugal. This is going to be difficult but it is going to be worth it, added Passos Coelho.The bailout is conditional on measures that include tax hikes, a freeze on state pensions and salaries and a reduction in unemployment benefits as well as their duration.Passos Coelho campaigned on a promise to go beyond the demanding bailout conditions negotiated by his predecessor in term of privatisations and economic reforms aimed at reducing the role of the state.

E. coli outbreak blamed on German veggie sprouts By KIRSTEN GRIESHABER and TOMISLAV SKARO, Associated Press – SUN JUN 5,11

HAMBURG, Germany – The terrifying E. coli outbreak in Europe appears to have been caused by vegetable sprouts grown on an organic farm in Germany, an agriculture official said Sunday as the toll climbed to at least 22 dead and more than 2,200 sickened.Preliminary tests found that bean sprouts and other sprout varieties from the farm in the Uelzen area, between the northern cities of Hamburg and Hannover, could be traced to infections in five German states, Lower Saxony Agriculture Minister Gert Lindemann said.There were more and more indications in the last few hours that put the focus on this farm, Lindemann said.Many restaurants involved in what is now the deadliest known E. coli outbreak in modern history had received deliveries of the sprouts, which are often used in salads, Lindemann spokesman Gert Hahne told The Associated Press.Definitive test results should be available Monday, Lindemann said.In recent days, as health officials tried to pinpoint the source of the unusually lethal outbreak, suspicion fell on lettuce, cucumbers and tomatoes, perhaps from Spain. Spanish farmers complained that the accusations were having a devastating financial effect.

First it's the evil Spaniards, and then you hear, very surprised, that it is our neighbor, said Dietrich Benni, who lives near the German farm. It's a bit scary all of this, especially that it is coming from an organic place.He added: No more organic food for me for now.The farm was shut down Sunday and all its produce recalled, including fresh herbs, fruits, flowers and potatoes. Two of its employees were also infected with E. coli, Lindemann said. He said 18 different sprout mixtures from the farm were under suspicion, including sprouts of mung beans, broccoli, peas, chickpeas, garlic lentils and radishes.As for how the sprouts became contaminated, Lindemann noted that they are grown with steam in barrels at 38 degrees Celsius (100 degrees Fahrenheit) — an ideal environment for bacteria to multiply.He said it is possible that the water was contaminated with E. coli or that the sprout seeds — purchased in Germany and other countries — contained the germ. He said the farmers had not used any manure, which is commonly spread on organic farms and has been known to cause E. coli outbreaks.

Lindemann urged Germans not to eat sprouts until further notice. He said authorities could not yet rule out other possible sources and warned Germans to continue avoiding tomatoes, cucumbers and lettuce for now.AP journalists went to the farm on Sunday night, but nobody was available to talk. Telephone messages left at the farm's office were also not immediately returned.The outbreak has been blamed on a highly aggressive, super-toxic strain of E. coli, perhaps one that scientists have never seen before.E. coli can be found in the feces of humans and livestock and can spread to produce through sloppy bathroom habits among farmworkers and through animal waste in fields and in irrigation water. Organic farms tend to use more manure than other producers do.Sprouts have been implicated in previous E. coli outbreaks, particularly one in 1996 in Japan, where tainted radish sprouts killed 12 people and reportedly sickened more than 12,000 others.The head of Germany's national disease control center raised the death toll to 22 Sunday — 21 in Germany and one in Sweden — and said an additional 2,153 people in Germany have been sickened. That figure included 627 people who have developed a rare, serious complication of the disease that can cause kidney failure. Ten other European nations and the U.S. have reported a total of 90 other victims.Earlier Sunday, Germany's health minister fiercely defended his country's handling of the crisis as he toured a hospital in Hamburg, the epicenter of the emergency.The comments by Health Minister Daniel Bahr reflected a sharp shift in his public response to the crisis and came after AP journalists reported on emergency room chaos and unsanitary conditions at the same hospital, the University Medical Center in Hamburg-Eppendorf.

On Saturday, Bahr admitted that hospitals in northern Germany were overwhelmed and struggling to provide beds and medical care for victims of the outbreak, and he suggested that other German regions start taking in sick patients from the north.
But after one E. coli survivor told the AP that conditions at the Hamburg hospital were horrendous when she arrived with cramps and bloody diarrhea, Bahr announced a visit and told reporters that German medical workers and northern state governments were doing everything necessary to help victims.Nicoletta Pabst, 41, told the AP that sanitary conditions at the Hamburg-Eppendorf hospital were shocking and its emergency room was overflowing with ailing people when she arrived May 25.All of us had diarrhea and there was only one bathroom each for men and women — it was a complete mess, she said Saturday.If I hadn't been sick with E. coli by then, I probably would have picked it up over there.Doctors and nurses in northern Germany have been working overtime for weeks since the crisis began May 2.Grieshaber reported from Berlin.
