7. "Israel Allies Foundation" to hold "Jerusalem Day Prayer Breakfast" on the Hill
With friends in high places, law-evading ploys and piles of
money in the bank, veteran settler leader Ze'ev Hever and his organization Amana are seemingly immune to Israeli
legal action.

Israel TV Channel 2 recently ran a lengthy report of pre-dawn arrests of Palestinian children -- rock-throwing
suspects -- at a West Bank Palestinian refugee camp. The TV crew was embedded with an Israeli unit that raided the
camp.

At the crux of the ongoing controversy over Google's decision to
recognize "Palestine" on its google.ps landing page is an emphatic refusal by some
in Israel (and abroad) to accept empirical reality. That reality is pretty uncomplicated. Most of the world today
recognizes the Palestinians as a people. Most countries have voted at the U.N. to recognize Palestine as a
theoretical state that must one day come into being in areas currently controlled by Israel. No nation on earth
endorses Israel's continued occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem; Israeli actions to further entrench the
occupation continue to provoke global condemnation.

People keep asking me: "Have you seen the news? Has Bibi actually frozen settlements? What does this mean?"
According to an Israeli radio report earlier today, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
recently ordered Minister of Housing Uri Ariel not to issue new tenders for construction in settlements.
On the heels of this report, Israel's Peace Now movement today confirmed that, since President Obama's visit to Israel in March, the government of Israel has not announced or approved any new West Bank settlement construction plans, and has not approved any new tenders for settlement construction.
