“Israel Will Ultimately Disappear”
God’s Word Trumps Former NSA Chief ’s Pronouncement
And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, but let your hands be strong. ~ Zechariah 8:13
Yossi Aloni, Israel Today Staff — A former head of America’s National Security Agency (NSA) said Israel was behind the American invasion of Iraq and that the Jewish state has no right to exist and will ultimately disappear.That according to Professor Yossi Shain, head of the Political Science Department at Tel Aviv University, who made the remark during a Knesset discussion on the various boycotts targeting Israel.
Several government official continued to claim that there is no boycott of Israel, and that every time the media speaks of one, it only empowers the groups that are trying to instigate worldwide boycotts of the Jewish state. But representatives of academia who were present at the discussion, such as Prof. Shain, called on the nation to wake up and realize that this is a very real and serious problem.
In response to the government’s belief that there is no boycott problem, Prof. Shain argued that senior members of the American administration in Washington have already been infected with anti-Israel perceptions.
“When I taught in Washington I once met a very senior US official - I don’t remember his name, but he was the head of the NSA - who told me that the [US] invasion of Iraq was because of us [Israel],” said Prof. Shain. The US official added that “Israel has no right to exist and that is what will happen in the end.”
Prof. Shain said he responded to the American by “asking if he was feeling well.”
He want on to argue that the moment a major anti-Israel proposal passed through the UN or other international body without an American veto, a wave of anti-Israel action will be unleashed. And, as the above example demonstrates, the seeds of anti-Israel sentiment that will one day result in Washington no longer blocking anti-Israel motions have already been sown.

Hastily-Passed Gun Control Law Turns Tens of Thousands of Legal Gun Owners Under The U.S. Constitution Into Felons Overnight
Jason Howerton, TheBlaze — On Jan. 1, 2014, tens of thousands of defiant gun owners seemingly made the choice not to register their semi-automatic rifles with the state of Connecticut as required by a hastily-passed gun control law. By possessing unregistered so-called “assault rifles,” they all technically became guilty of committing Class D felonies overnight.Police had received 47,916 applications for “assault weapons certificates” and 21,000 incomplete applications as of Dec. 31, Lt. Paul Vance told The Courant.
At roughly 50,000 applications, officials estimate that as little as 15 percent of the covered semi-automatic rifles have actually been registered with the state. “No one has anything close to definitive figures, but the most conservative estimates place the number of unregistered assault weapons well above 50,000, and perhaps as high as 350,000,” the report states.
Needless to say, officials and some lawmakers are stunned.
You may recall the viral photo of Connecticut gun owners waiting in line to register their guns in December, which one person said reminded them of the “Weimar Germany.”
Linkster Question: How many of these gun owners are criminals who are registering their illegal weapons?
Republican state Sen. Tony Guglielmo told The Courant he recently spoke to a constituent at a meeting in Ashford, who informed him that some of his friends with semi-automatic rifles are intentionally taking a stand.
“He made the analogy to prohibition,” the lawmaker recalled. “I said, ‘You’re talking about civil disobedience, and he said ‘Yes.’”
Guglielmo said he really thought the “vast majority would register.”
Other officials think the low registration numbers are due to ignorance on behalf of gun owners who aren’t aware of the new law. It’s impossible to know the main reason why gun owners aren’t showing up to register their guns without hearing from them directly, though Guglielmo’s constituent indicates at least some are practicing “civil disobedience.”
“Sorting out the number of potential new felons is a guessing game. State police have not added up the total number of people who registered the 50,000 firearms, Vance said. So even if we knew the number of illegal guns in the state, we’d have a hard time knowing how many owners they had,” the report concludes. » Full Article

Biography
Roger Williams (December 21, 1603 - c. January–March 1683) was an English Protestant theologian who was an early proponent of religious freedom and the separation of church and state. In 1636, he began the colony of Providence Plantation, which provided a refuge for religious minorities. Williams started the first Baptist church in America, the First Baptist Church of Providence. He was a student of Native American languages and an advocate for fair dealings with Native Americans. Williams was arguably the first abolitionist in North America, having organized the first attempt to prohibit slavery in any of the original thirteen colonies.
