The Obama administration has added Israel to a list of 36 ‘specially designated’ countries that have ‘shown a tendency to promote, produce, or protect terrorist organizations or their members.’The ‘specially designated country’ list is used by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to screen detained foreigners with an extra step, called a “Third Agency Check.†Overall, the countries on the list are unsurprising, with two exceptions this year. Israel was not on the list in 2008, but now in 2011, it has been added. North Korea, on the other hand, was dropped from the list this year but was on it in 2008. >>>There are only five countries on the list that do not have majority Muslim populations, and those countries have had serious internal problems with radical Muslim terrorist groups or insurgencies.
The United Nations this week tabbed North Korea to head its Conference on Disarmament. That would be the North Korea that: * Was building a nuclear site in Syria before Israeli warplanes put an end to it. * Was caught by the US Navy smuggling missile parts to Burma's junta. * Is in constant violation of UN mandates regarding its own nuke program -- and was accused by the UN in May of trading missile know-how with Iran.So, Pyongyang is fueling a nuclear arms race from the Persian Gulf to the China Sea -- but is now tasked by the United Nations to run a body dedicated to the "cessation of the nuclear arms race and . . . prevention of nuclear war." It's insane. The panel is a tyrant's dream, just like every other UN body. To wit: * The farcical UN Human Rights Council counts Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and China as members. * The Saudis, who arrested five women this week for driving, also have a seat at the world body's megapanel on women's rights. * And Iran, which stones alleged adulteresses, sits on the UN Commission on the Status of Women.Yet the US pumps billions into UN bank accounts every year. Why? Indeed, why is America even a member of the United Nations at all? Maybe once it made sense -- but no more. Invest in real estate, Will Rogers said. "They aren't making any more of it." Well, we can think of a parcel on the East River that would fetch a pretty penny -- once it's been fumigated.
The U.S. has decided to formally resume contact with Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood group - which does not recognize Israel – in a move that could further alienate some Jewish voters already skeptical of President Barack Obama, it was reported. >>>The decision to resume contact with the Muslim Brotherhood group may worry members of the Jewish community and Israeli officials, Reuters reported.

“The U.S. does not and never has considered Israel to have links to terrorism, but rather they are a partner in our efforts to combat global terrorism. Countries may have been included on the list because of the backgrounds of arrestees, not because of the country’s government itself.â€
