 Mothers of Terror Victims Demand End to Prisoner Release
Mothers of terror victims have taken a leading role in demanding an end to the continued prisoner release, which includes barbaric criminals with blood on their hands.
A group called “Mothers Forever” demonstrated on Wednesday evening in the cold Jerusalem weather, outside Prime Minister Benjamin’s Netanyahu’s residence, holding pictures of their murdered children, Israel National News (INN) reported.
Many among the dead children’s killers are included in the next batch of terrorists slated to be released on Sunday in the third stage of an arrangement brokered by the US in July. The purpose of the deal was to revive peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.
INN “spoke to Shira Avraham, whose seven-month-old daughter Shaked was murdered in a terrorist attack on the family’s home in Negohot, near Hevron, 10 years ago,” the news site said.

 Abbas Ridiculed for Calling Jesus a
'Palestinian'
Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas has been ridiculed for calling
Jesus of Nazareth a "Palestinian," Israel National News reported. In
a pre-Christmas message delivered from Ramallah on Monday evening, quoted by
diverse media, Abbas stated:
"In Bethlehem, 2,000 years ago, Jesus was born - a Palestinian who brought
the gospel and became a guide for millions worldwide, just as we, the
Palestinians, are fighting for our freedom, 2,000 years later. We try to walk
in his footsteps to the extent possible." "Abbas ought to read the
New Testament carefully before spouting such nonsense," said Yigal Palmor,
Israeli Foreign Affairs spokesman.

 Now is the Time to Support Israel - Make a
Difference!
When you build bomb shelters, strengthen Israeli soldiers, plant fruit trees, support a united Jerusalem and donate to United with Israel, you help to protect and build the State of Israel!
THERE IS STILL TIME TO MAKE AN END-YEAR 2013 TAX DEDUCTIBLE DONATION
Building bomb shelters is another way to give to Israel. The shelters you help build with donations via the United with Israel website, allow parents to feel that their children are protected from danger. Without these bomb shelters, many parents would not be able to send their children to school, fearing the lack of security from impending rocket attacks. In this way, bomb shelters facilitate children’s education and feelings of safety and security throughout affected communities.

Arab Members of Knesset Demand Pollard's Release
Arab-Israeli Members of Knesset have joined the demand for the release of
American-Israeli Jonathan Pollard, who was convicted of spying for Israel and
jailed 28 years ago. The Arab MKs were among the overwhelming majority of
Israeli lawmakers - 106 out of 120, across the political spectrum - who signed
an official request to US President Barack Obama for Pollard's release this
week.
"The Israeli Knesset is turning to US President Barack Obama to
request, on humanitarian and humanistic grounds, in light of his grave medical
condition, to limit the sentence of Jonathan Pollard and order his immediate
release," read the decision from Wednesday's debate, Times of Israel
reported.

Following News of US Spying on Israeli Leaders,
Many Cite Hypocrisy and Demand Pollard's Release
Several Israeli politicians are demanding Jonathan Pollard's release from
prison following recent revelations by former National Security Agency employee
Edward Snowden that in 2009, the NSA was spying on former Prime Minister Ehud
Olmert and former Defense Minister Ehud Barak.
"This is a severe case and I hope this is the iceberg rather than the tip
of the iceberg," Knesset Speaker Edelstein declared. "Otherwise, this
case is liable to do damage to our relations with the US," he warned.
