Palestinians Make Outrageous Demands in Bid for Continued Peace Talks

April 9, 2014 Last Wednesday, as Israel and the Palestinians were on the verge of a deal for the final prisoner release, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas formally applied to gain some of the benefits of statehood outside the peace process, which officially ends April 29. The move was made despite Palestinian promises to stay at the table and not unilaterally seek recognition as a nation at the United Nations during the talks. It is also a violation of the Oslo Accords. Although the PA has indicated its willingness to continue negotiations, it has set new, outrageous conditions for agreeing to extend the peace talks. They include the release of 1,200 more Palestinian prisoners and Israeli recognition of the pre-1967 lines as the future borders of a Palestinian state with east Jerusalem as its capital.

Parasha Metzora: Four Lepers Who Went From Outcasts to Heroes

April 4, 2014 This week, Parasha Metzorah continues with the theme of Tazria. In it, God gives Moses the law for the recovered metzora (commonly mistranslated as leper) and the ritual purification of the metzora by the kohen (priest). In Matthew 8:3, Yeshua upholds this law when He heals the leper and tells him, "Show yourself to the priest and present the offering that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them." In accordance with God's command in Leviticus, when the kohen determined that the metzora had healed, he or she underwent a process of ritual cleansing that began with the offering of two birds, one which was sacrificed and the other which was set free.

The Ezzeddeen Al-Qassam Brigades Information Office, said that the find was not a major loss since "this tunnel is old and it was partially collapsed.… We emphasize… pride for the resistance men stationed underground and one the ground who prepared to defend their people and their cause until Palestinians get the victory.”

Israeli Advances in Technology: Mini Robots That Clean Solar Panels

April 2, 2014 As the world energy demands continue to grow, solar power represents a promising alternative. However, the efficiency of solar panels is reduced by dirt and grime. Enter the world’s first self-cleaning solar park in Israel’s Arava Valley, where every night 100 Israeli-built robots clean off dusty PV panels, increasing production by as much as 35% at Kibbutz Ketura. These robots represent a real solution for solar energy farms, most of which are located in the wide open spaces of deserts where the sun is strong, the dust is ubiquitous, and water is scarce.
