People have the wrong concept of Hashem, Rosh Hashana, and teshuva; they’re virtually petrified from the threat of punishment that many thoughtless sermonizers put in their hearts. What’s more, listening to the media and the newspapers also puts needless fear in people’s hearts.

Hashem is our benevolent and loving Father, Who is ready at any moment to accept the worst criminal with open arms; all anyone has to do is to make a sincere and loving effort to be a better individual.

As long as we trust nothing other than Hashem, we have nothing to be afraid of.

A UNIFIL-led tripartite meeting with LAF and IDF representatives concluded
with both countries expressing a desire to avoid any escalation

Elana Kieffer IDF 02 September 2010 , 18:50

On Thursday (Sep. 2), the commander of the United Nations Interim Force in
Lebanon (UNIFIL), Maj. Gen, Alberto Asarta Cuevas, hosted another tripartite
meeting with representatives from the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) and the
IDF at a UN position in Ras Al Naqoura.

The meeting was held to discuss the UNIFIL investigation into the shooting
incident which occurred on August 3 when LAF forces opened fire on IDF
soldiers who were within Israeli territory. As a result of the attack, Capt.
Ezra Lakia (30) sustained severe injuries and Lt. Col. Dov Harari (45) was
killed.

In an official statement, UNIFIL reported that it is reviewing the comments
and information shared by both parties at this most recent meeting. As a
reminder, on August 4, one day following the shooting incident, UNIFIL
representatives verified previously made statements by IDF representatives
that Israel had coordinated their work near the border previous to the
incident, and that indeed the IDF forces had been operating within Israeli
territory when they were attacked.

On August 25, UNIFIL announced that it had completed its investigation into
the incident and confirmed its previously stated position that the IDF
forces had been operating within Israeli territory when they were attacked
by LAF soldiers.

Thursday's tripartite meeting addressed other subjects as well, including
marking the Blue Line, which had been discussed at the August 18th
tripartite meeting.

Following Thursday's meeting, Maj. Gen. Asarta said, "The discussions today
reconfirmed that no party would like to see any escalation. They stress
their continued commitment to maintain the cessation of hostilities and
ensure that the exchange of fire that happened on August third remains an
isolated incident."

U.S. to Shun Military Drills in Turkey
AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE

ANKARA - The United States will not take part in upcoming air drills in
Turkey, a U.S. embassy official said Sept. 1, as media reports said
Washington had conditioned its presence on Israeli attendance.

The U.S. Air Force will not join the October exercises, the official told
AFP, saying they had already taken part in the previous edition of the
drills in June.

The official would not comment on Turkish media reports that Washington had
said it would shun the drills if Ankara failed to invite also Israel,
excluded from the exercises amid bilateral tensions with Turkey, once a
close ally.

The U.S. message was conveyed to Ankara after invitations were sent out to
several countries but not Israel for the "Anatolian Eagle" drills, held
since 2001 in central Turkey, unnamed sources told the Hurriyet newspaper.

The Turkish army's press office would not comment on the issue.

Last year, Turkey for the first time excluded Israel from the exercises amid
tensions over the Jewish state's devastating offensive on the Gaza Strip.

Turkey eventually cancelled the international section of the drills without
explanation after the United States reportedly pulled out.

Since then, Turkish-Israeli ties have hit a new low, raising concern in
Washington, after Israeli forces killed nine Turks on May 31 in an operation
to stop an aid flotilla that aimed to break Gaza's blockade.

Ankara recalled its ambassador from Tel Aviv and scrapped joint wargames.

The United States was also irked by Turkey's "no" vote to fresh sanctions
against Iran, adopted by the UN Security Council in June over the Islamic
republic's nuclear program.

Last week, senior Turkish diplomats travelled to Washington in a bid to
dispel fears that the Islamist-rooted government is taking NATO's sole
mainly Muslim member away from the West.

Tehran, Sept 2, IRNA(Iran news agency) -- Palestine's Ambassador to Tehran
Salah Zawawi said on Thursday that relentless struggle with the Zionist
occupiers will continue until liberation of Holy Qods.

Speaking to IRNA, he said Qods international day was initiated by the late
Imam Khomeini.

Late Imam Khomeini put the issue of Palestine on the agenda of Islamic Ummah
which this left an undeniable impact on the resistance of Palestinian nation
to occupation, he said.

'Late Imam Khomeini expelled the representatives of the Zionist regime from
Iran, cut export of oil to the (then) apartheid regime of South Africa and
established the first-ever Palestine Embassy on ruins of Israeli embassy in
Tehran.'

The ambassador said that the Zionist regime will be annihilated if it fails
to win support of big powers.

He said that the Zionist regime was established by western powers to harm
unity of the Arab nations and the world Muslims to help materialize their
sinister goals.

'As our struggles with the Zionists will get tougher in the future, we hope
more support from the Islamic Ummah,' he said.

On Iran's peaceful nuclear activities, he said the Western countries have
toughen sanctions against Iran but have ignored the Zionist regime which
possesses over 200 warheads and advanced military apparatus such as F-35.

"With reliance upon Grace of Almighty God and through solidarity of world
Muslims, we hope to witness complete eradication of the fabricated regime in
due course," Zawawi said.

Salem Abu Al-Futuh: "The nation of Islam will return - despite our current
crisis and despite the arrogance of the West. The West is bound to be
destroyed. Just like Allah destroyed the Byzantine and Persian empires, He
will destroy the West at the hands of the Muslims. This is an unequivocal
promise. These countries will convert to Islam. Islam will reach these
countries. [...]
"Let us examine the divine sequence: First, the Caliphate will return. Then,
the Muslims will live in tremendous prosperity. The economy of the Muslims
will be the strongest of all. You are probably thinking that I'm not well
today if I say such things. By God, there's nothing wrong with me. I am
speaking words of truth. [...]
"Great conquests will ensue. We will conquer Italy. [...]
"By Allah, we will conquer Italy. By Allah, we will conquer Italy and move
into [the rest] of Europe. Islam will enter that entire region. Even
America, you ask? Yes, even America. North or South America? Both North and
South America. We will enter all these countries, and people there will be
joining Islam in droves." [...]
