White House officials reach out to Jewish community to answer Hagel concernsBy Kevin Bohn, CNN Washington (CNN) – Senior members of the White House staff called key American Jewish interest groups on Sunday to tell them about the impending nomination of Chuck Hagel to be Defense Secretary and to try to answer their concerns about his record, several sources familiar with the calls told CNN. One of the call recipients, who generally supports the nomination, who requested anonymity to freely discuss his call, told CNN the outreach shows "not only there is some concern, but the White House takes the concern seriously and wants to have the very conversation at the highest levels of the White House." Officials are hoping the outreach will help lesson the intensity of any opposition. Among the officials who made the calls was White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew, several sources familiar with the outreach told CNN, signifying the importance of the Jewish community to the White House as it proceeds with the Hagel pick. Lew is one of the more prominent Jews in the Obama administration. FULL STORY |

Einstein's Gravity Theory Passes Toughest Test Yet..............................E = mc2..........(U–Pb).................two math formulas.
Apr. 25, 2013 — A strange stellar pair nearly 7,000 light-years from Earth has provided physicists with a unique cosmic laboratory for studying the nature of gravity. The extremely strong gravity of a massive neutron star in orbit with a companion white dwarf star puts competing theories of gravity to a test more stringent than any available before

Ancient Earth Crust Stored in Deep Mantle
Apr. 24, 2013 — Scientists have long believed that lava erupted from certain oceanic volcanoes contains materials from the early Earth's crust. But decisive evidence for this phenomenon has proven elusive. New research from a team including Carnegie's Erik Hauri demonstrates that oceanic volcanic rocks contain samples of recycled crust dating back to the Archean era 2.5 billion years ago. Their work is published in Nature.

Einstein letter, set for auction, shows scientist challenging idea of God, being 'chosen'
By Jessica Ravitz, CNN
Decades before atheist scientist and author Richard Dawkins called God a "delusion," one world-renowned physicist – Albert Einstein – was weighing in on faith matters with his own strong words.
“The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still primitive legends,” Einstein wrote in German in a 1954 letter that will be auctioned on eBay later this month. "No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this.”

My last pay check was $9500 working 12 hours a week online. My sisters friend has been averaging 15k for months now and she works about 20 hours a week. I can't believe how easy it was once I tried it out. The potential with this is endless. This is what I do, Big44.ℂOM

Obama you just open a can of worms
America is not responsible for, or to, Israel. There is no need for American politicians to kiss the bum of either Arab or Jew. We should have no interests over there, and they should have none here. They should live there, and we live here. That makes life a lot easier.
I thought this was an article about bagels!
What the headline to the article really means;
White House assures American Jews that the US will continue to blindly fund the apartheid nation called Isreal.
Who cares waht the oven dodgers think?
Maybe Hagel can win them over by showering pennies on their communities.
Hopefully Hagel will release the truth about the bloated numbers from the holohoax.
I'll have to admit I've never heard the "oven dodgers" term before. So ovens are being thrown around and others dodge them?
Semantics is a word. Look it up.
Your day is coming, Redemption is nigh. We will soon watch G-d's vengeance upon you & those like you. Keep the comments coming. How you will howl with excuses about how you "didn't really mean it" when the Angel of Death stares you in the face, but how it will be far too late. There is no escaping prophecy –the moment is coming. G-d will requite your arrogance much sooner than you think. "He will crush heads over a vast distance. He will drink from a stream along the way. Israel will hold it's head high" "Do not fear the destruction of the wicked when it comes". Pass the popcorn.

He kind of looks like the dad from Frasier.
That's IT, sam!
That's who he reminds me of...I couldn't put my finger on it!
...Our problem is that some foreign policy is too much based on a christian perspective! This is wrong...as "JESUS CHRIST" never existed!!
What this article omitted is that the jewish lobby has tremendous financial backing, and neither party wants to offend them.
Or does it make me anti-semitic if I tell the truth?
Yes New it does,
Read my previous posts
Resist theocracy and you are a NAZI
What state is Toronto in? Since our politics is none of your f'n business your opinion is useless. There's your sign
Mike, how about he's anti-Israel and opposed labeling Hezbollah a "terrorist organization.
Capo..sounds like it is in a better state than you.
This is not about Israel or the Jewish "lobby", it's about recognizing evil. Support for Israel means that a person understands that Israel is an ally who has our best interest in mind, while Hamas is a terrorist group who should not be negotiated with just as Al-Qaeda shouldn't be negotiated with. Since Hagel doesn't recognize the inherent danger that extremist Islam presents to America and the world, I question his appointment as Secretary of Defense. How can a person "defend" America when they support the same people who want to see our nation destroyed? Israel is the only nation in the Middle East based on the same values that we as Americans uphold. By locking out Israel and opening negotiations with Islamic terrorists, what kind of a message does that send to our allies and our enemies? In order to protect America, you must first understand who we need protecting from. Israel is our closest ally, while the Palestinians continue to elect American murdering terrorists as their leaders. I question the left's patriotism as well as their common sense. Support Israel, fight Islamic terror.
Actually, Isreal is just the least of all evils over there. And that's about all.
Who among this world's nations has tarnished pasts? America and Israel and England has tarnished pasts and yet when the spotlights are pointed in their directions their past deeds are never the issues. Was it not in 1948 that the world body of unionized nations saw fit to give Palestinian lands to their Jewish cohorts and for what reasoning was such a contract made without Palestinian approval? The then unionized world order seems to have done an injustice and we all now do see the fruits of the united world's power play. Can one truly blame Arab dissonance reprisals against the blunt taking of lands for the sole purposes of paying homages to the Jewry causes based upon religious venues for reclaiming an old times Jewish homeland?
Israel as ally?
Don't make me laugh
With freinds like them, who needs enemies?
They are a theocracy, and an abomination to all free thinkers everywhere
God has declared,
In Jerusalem shall My name be forever. (2 Chronicles 33:4; also verse 7)
Your average Palestinian is a Semite. (due to almost ZERO emiigration in the past fifty years)
Your Average Israeli is not a Semite (Due to enormous emmigration from Europe for half a century)
Based on that, Chuch is Anti-Israeli and Pro Semite.
I support him heartily on both positions
well, if you trist the intended meaning of words and forget all concept of context, you can prety much make any point you want to from this article. However, it does not make for useful discussion.
So words are relative now? Progress redefined I suppose.
Words give context to communication. He who rules the words rule the world
This is at the core of the Fox News Agenda. Redefine to reeducate, and to obfuscate as needed.
For example, ask a right winger to explain the difference between freedom and liberty.
The answer is really meaningless without context, but the REACTION to the question is amazing, because they have been indoctrinated to reply a certain way.
Thus the whole Anti-Semitic versus Anti-Israel question!! One can be fully supportive of a Jews right to be religiously or culturally Jewish, yet reject the concept that this acceptance gives them the God Given right to have a State of their own.
We don’t need Jewish States, or Muslim States, or even Christian States. In fact, even the concept of a religious foundation for Statehood guarantees theocracy, and as such should revolt all truly free men, ESPECIALLY Americans.
So if I must be labeled an Anti-Semite for rejecting theocracy, so be it, but what I really am is an AMERICAN!
Israelis should stay out of American politics. We are a sovereign nation and any interference in our nation's business was once considered an act of war. I personally am insulted by the actions of the Jewish PAC and so should all Americans who believe in the spirit, if not the letter, of the Declaration of Independence!
I don't understand which way CNN is spinning, are they for or against his nomination?
They shouldn't spin either way!
Senator Hagel must apologizes the people of Israel, and all Jewish groups, how dare he made anti-semantic comments, no matter how trivial they were? Did he forget he was living in America?
NO.
Israel- Its formation was approved by the UN in 1948. It should honor the original UN agreement and live within the described borders. Considering the hate generated by passages in the koran and OT, erecting dividing walls between Muslims and Jews should continue. UN forces should control these walls.
And Jerusalem should be made into an international city under the control and protection of the UN.
I cannot believe that the Palestinian Authority will be cooperative in giving up their portion of Jerusalem up for International control. Keep dreaming.
Reality, As much as i usually agree with you-
Are you really suggesting that there is some way to get past the jews keeping thier holy city for themselves?
This is a religious thing, Rational thought and any input from non-jews is irrelevant. Thier god said it was theirs. That prety much ends the discussion.
New
I believe the Shintoist believed similar
Two low yield atomic weapons discredited their arguments quite handily.
Jeruslalems destiny is to rot as a radiactive hell hole for 25,000 years
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May they prosper who love you." (Psalm 122:6)
A quick, safe, and peaceful solution to all concerned:
Putting the kibosh/ on all religion in less than ten seconds: Priceless !!!
• As far as one knows or can tell, there was no Abraham i.e. the foundations of Judaism, Christianity and Islam are non-existent.
• As far as one knows or can tell, there was no Moses i.e the pillars of Judaism, Christianity and Islam have no strength of purpose.
• There was no Gabriel i.e. Islam fails as a religion. Christianity partially fails.
• There was no Easter i.e. Christianity completely fails as a religion.
