The kidnapping of 3 Jewish school boys by Hamas Terrorists
The biggest disappointment happened last week in Athens when a proclamatiion was adopted by EU foreign ministers and their Arab colleagues. It was one-sided and said that "it hails the Fatah-Hamas union and praised the Palestinians committed to DEMOCRACY and HUMAN RIGHTS. Yet Hamas continued to shell Israel more than usual. The declaration included harsh criticism of Israel. Seems they can practice terrorism such as shooting and terrorist acts of kidnapping, and that's okay.

ISIS now 35 miles from Baghdad, Iraq
Israel is against such an unparallelled meeting. Yuval Steinitz, the Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister, said Iran should not be helped to extend it's sway in Iraq. Tehran would then have more control in Syria, where the Iranians back President Assad. They'd get their foot in the door in Lebanan, where they have their Hizbullah allies. This would wind up softening the American positions on the issue of the Iranian nuclear issue more than they already are, just what Iran would love. It would be that the USA and Iran would be on the same side of supporting the government of Iraqi Prime Minister al-Maliki.
It may be that both are rooting for Maliki, but each has their own different reasons. ISIS, the branch of al-Qaeda, is the enemy in this case, and is the worst Shi'a group in history. For a group that started with little finances, they fixed that by robbing a big bank in Iraq, so that now they are loaded. Right now ISIS is about 35 miles away from Damascus, supposedly a well-fortified city.
KIDNAPPING OF 3 ISRAELI TEENAGERS
Two (2) months ago, PA's Abbas asked that Palestine be included in 15 international conventions. One was the 1989 UN convention on the Rights of the Child...and Rights of the Child on the involvement of children in Armed Conflict. At the same time they are responsible for the kidnapping of 3 Jewish teenagers by Hamas.
Israel holds the PA responsible for this act. Hamas terrorists took the boys, of who one holds dual citizenship- USA and Israel. The terrorists were staying in Judah which is under PA control. Israel is holding many people in the act of searching for them. Israel said that the 3 boys' lives are in danger and they will have to move in anyway possible to get information as to where they are to rescue them. The clock is ticking. Netanyahu promised that those who try to attack Israeli citizens like this will be hit for doing so.
He asks that the international community condemn this abduction and support Israel's legitimate acts of self-defense. All the while Israel has been attacked by rockets from Gaza during this period from Hamas. When a state is under attack by a terrorist group, it is a far more serious situation than if some gang of thieves kidnaps someone for financial gain.
RANDOM ACTS OF HOSTILITY
Three (3) Palestinians tried to break through the security perimeter of Kochav Yaakov in Judea-Samaria late Monday night and IDF soldiers shot at them, injuring one. The others got away.
Two (2) firebombs were thrown at the Beit Orot Yeshiva on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem which set off a fire , but it was small.

Judea-Samaria and Gaza in red, Israel in yellow. One can see the katusha rocket range from "Palestine." This week it's still hitting southern Israel from Gaza.
ISIS, IRAQ and IRAN
The USA had meetings with Iran about Iraq, the state they had a war with in 1980 that lasted for 8 years. Iraq and Iran had fought so long and hard that the war was down to children fighting. They met on Monday in Geneva, Switzerland about the ongoing nuclear negotiations and discussed the crisis in Iraq. They discussed how ISIS threatens many countries in the region, including Iran. (TIME). Israel is against such an unparallelled meeting. Yuval Steinitz, the Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister, said Iran should not be helped to extend it's sway in Iraq.
