This issue looks at a significant Temple Mount Discovery, reasons for an Israeli pre-election strike against Iran, the White House refusal to acknowledge Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, another treaty defeat at the UN, calls to defend America, the BBC’s anti-Semitism, Obama’s lawsuit to limit military voting, and a hilarious tribute to Chick-Fil-A.

Have the Skeletons from the Temple Mount Massacre been Found?
The Israel Project reports: Thousands of skeletons have been uncovered in Jerusalem near the Temple Mount, raising speculation that the remains are those of the thousands of Jews massacred by the Romans during the destruction of the Second Temple. Read more.

Why a September/October Strike against Iran makes Sense
Joel Rosenberg reports: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta yesterday that time is running out for the international community to neutralize the Iranian nuclear threat… Netanyahu may decide to strike Iran in September and/or October, prior to the national elections here in the U.S. Why? Here’s the logic of an autumn strike:

If Mr. Netanyahu believes Israel has to hit Iran before Iran hides their nuclear program in impenetrable underground tunnels (possibly by the end of this year) then he may choose to launch the attack at a time when it’s most politically difficult for President Obama to oppose or undermine Israeli military action.

Support for Israeli security is becoming a key issue in the 2012 campaign between President Obama and Governor Romney, and Netanyahu may calculate that the President would feel compelled to do everything he could to help Israel this fall in order to win votes for November.

If Netanyahu does not strike this fall, and Mr. Obama wins re-election, Netanyahu has to consider the possibility that the White House would be even less inclined to support an Israeli strike next year. Indeed, Mr. Obama would not be facing another election and thus could, potentially, really turn the screws on Israel and take actions designed to block preemptive action. Read more.

Second UN Treaty Bites the Dust
Several weeks ago, you sank the Law of the Sea Treaty and now, thanks to your faxes and calls, the United Nations’ Arms Trade Treaty has taken a fatal blow right between the eyes. It was a cleverly disguised plan to circumvent America’s 2nd Amendment.

A Jihad Fatwa you have to See to Believe
Act for America reports: All we can say is “Watch the two minute video, a MEMRI translation that was recently posted on Jihad Watch.”

ALAC and the GOP Platform
Act for America reports: One of our chapter leaders submitted a request to the Republican Party platform committee that a plank be added to the platform supporting ALAC (American Laws for American Courts) legislation. You can help make this happen. Visit here and look for the idea that says “American Law for American Courts.” When you find it, click on the option to “second” the idea. You can “second” the proposal by following the prompts to do so either through Facebook or by logging in.

Buy American
As part of Diane Sawyer’s special report recently, they removed ALL items from a typical, middle class family’s home that were not made in the USA. There was hardly anything left besides the kitchen sink, literally. During the special they showed truckloads of items – USA made – being brought in to replace everything and talked about how to find these items and the difference in price etc. Diane said if every American spent just $64 more than normal on USA made items this year, it would create something like 200,000 new jobs! The Chinese, knowingly and intentionally, export inferior and even toxic products and dangerous toys and goods to be sold in American markets. THINK ABOUT THIS: If 200 million Americans each refuse to buy just $20 of Chinese goods, that’s a billion dollar trade imbalance resolved in our favor…fast!! Simply look on the bottom of every product you buy, and if it says ‘Made in China ‘ or ‘PRC’ (and that now includes Hong Kong), simply choose another product.

BBC Shows its Anti-Semitism
Jay Sekulow reports: We see the mainstream media bias every day in this country, and now we are seeing it at the London Olympics as well. The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is refusing to acknowledge that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel and claiming that East Jerusalem is the “intended seat of government” for Palestine, which is not even a recognized state. Stop this anti-Israel bias; sign our letter of support for Israel.

Obama Campaign Sues to Restrict Military Voting
On July 17th, the Obama for America Campaign, the Democratic National Committee and the Ohio Democratic Party filed suit in Ohio to strike down part of that state’s law governing voting by members of the military. Their suit said that part of the law is “arbitrary” with “no discernible rational basis.” Read more.
