Maybe the greatest threat is Israel when considering it is at the base of numerous problems according to some reports. This problem is the lack of peace between Israel and the Palestinians and Israel being at odds with so many of their neighbors in the Middle East and into Northern Africa. Further, there exists animosity between Israel and much of Europe and numerous NGO's and the source of protests around the world. Judging from the noise from the echo chambers due to complaints accusing Israel, perhaps we have a real problem which requires intervention to force peace on Israel and her neighbors as well as the Palestinians. So, let us look at the situation with Israel and analyze exactly how the world can solve all the aspects of these problems. Shall we proceed to examine the lack of peace and what can be done?
One nation which Israel still has a state of war existing is Syria. Currently there is no real central power in Syria which can be negotiated with or has uncontested recognition as the central power and governing authority. The former recognized government of Bashir al Assad is currently forced to take shelter along the western coastal area where his Alawite tribes reside and where the Russians have use of naval facilities which provide Russia with warm water ports on the Mediterranean Sea. There are Kurdish Militias who are in control over the north and north eastern areas of Syria and are coordinating with the Kurdish Militias controlling northern areas in Iraq. Sunni terrorist groups such as al-Nusra and former al-Qaeda linked groups in control of large areas in central Syria. There are Druze tribes in the eastern and southern mountain areas. Israel controls the Golan Heights won during the Six Day War and held despite attacks from Syria during the Yom Kippur War and annexed these lands, as previous to Israel taking these heights there had been regular shelling of farmers as well as often having snipers practicing their skills shooting farmers and other Israelis without any warning almost as sport. Finally, the Islamic State, which has proven to be proud of their horrific and gruesome methods, has executed and captured individuals including civilians and numerous captives taken from the civilian populations in the areas their control often charging them with insult of Islam, Allah or other laws according to the Islamic State definitions of Sharia and observance of Islam. There is no means of reaching any peace with Syria until there is peace in Syria.
In Israel's favor is that two adversaries, Egypt and Jordan respectively, have reached a peace and have kept that peace, albeit a cold peace, and even managed some coordination when mutual advantage was the result. Israel is currently assisting Jordan supplying them water and additional electricity alleviating some of the demands made by the refugees from Syria who have fled to Jordan. Coordination between Israel and Egypt have been more concrete in that both have difficulties with Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Gaza and concerns over terrorist and fighting which has flared in the Sinai Peninsula. Israel has provided assistance with intelligence on activities in the Sinai and Egypt has kept a mutually beneficial blockade on Gaza both on land and sea in order to block weapons or transfers of personnel between Gaza and Egypt, especially weapons into Gaza and terror personnel from Gaza into the Sinai. Well, appears to be no real problems and even potentials for improvement over time between Israel and her neighbors Jordan and Egypt.
Well, how about the big Arab nation, Saudi Arabia. Well, currently the Saudi authorities have had to field and downplay if not completely deny rumors that they have been coordinating with Israel almost acting as if they were normal nations with full agreements in place. Well, this sure is interesting as technically Saudi Arabia never reached any peace agreement with Israel since the war between the two nations as part of the six nations which attacked Israel the very first morning of Israeli existence as a nation on May 15, 1948. Actually, Israel and Saudi Arabia were revealed to possibly have been working in conjunction, with Saudi Arabia potentially offering to permit Israeli pilots to refuel in Saudi air space and for stricken pilots who required emergency assistance returning from an attack on Iranian nuclear sites permission to use certain military airfields in Saudi Arabia according to leaked information by sources within the United States. The American sources were reputed to be the same which also would out plans for Israel to rent the use of military airfields in Azerbaijan in an attack on the Iranian nuclear sites. These are all rumored events and the claims that the leaks originated from within the administration of President Obama while others claim it was from within the United States Department of State. Such sourcing is less important than whether these leaks were real or imagined and whether the rumors of Israeli coordination with Saudi Arabia or Azerbaijan. Even the hint of cooperation from any Arab or Islamic nation with the Jewish State, Israel, is sufficient to bring about great commotions and denials from the rumored guilty state. Still, such rumors do tell much about the relations and some of the challenges faced by Israel when it comes to relations with her neighboring nations.
North of Israel is the nation of Lebanon who has had three wars with Israel over the last three quarters of a century. That is since before Israel was founded and Lebanon was amongst the six nations attacking Israel on her first day in existence. Making any progress between Lebanon and Israel will require a basic alteration in the leadership of Lebanon as currently Hezballah controls the Lebanese governance. A recognized terrorist organization being in control of the parliament of one's nation and their hand chosen representative serving as Prime Minister does mean there can be no normalized relations with Israel. Lebanon was a predominantly Christian nation and over time has slowly but inexorably been Islmisized. This has been done initially in a terror war when Yasser Arafat and the PLO were evicted from Jordan after attempting to overthrow the King and government in the Black September attempted coup. This led to the First Lebanon War when Israel responded to pleas for help by Lebanese Christians. Since that war, which included an invasion by Syria at the presumed request of the Muslims, the society has faced numerous terrorist uprisings and steady pressure forcing the Christian population to emigrate mostly to Europe and the United States. This has slowly changed the character of the country and Lebanon will likely never return to Christian majority population and the governance will also be altered by this erosion. There will not be peace with Lebanon as Hezballah has started claiming that Israel is occupying the Galilee which has been part of Israel and recognized as Israeli land as it is entirely south of the Blue Line, the United Nations surveyed and recognized border between Israel and Lebanon.
So, finally we will investigate the Palestinian situation. The realization that the Arab nations would be unable to easily destroy Israel through military actions alone and the world viewing the Arab Israeli problem as being the Goliath Arab world fighting the David Israelis who were at a monstrous numerical disadvantage. The solution to this was to create a false flag to fight Israel supported by the Arab world, and the Palestinians were invented and chose to mirror the Jewish or Israelite history. They also adopted the idea of the big lie stated consistently and over a long period of time will become the accepted truth. The fact that the Israelis still have not set forth any opposing viewpoint leaves the public believing that the world would know the truth and that should be sufficient. It has not been anywhere near enough. The Palestinians have had one overriding aim, the complete destruction of Israel and the annihilation of the Israeli population, particularly the Jewish population and any other non-Muslims. The misconception sold by the Palestinian Authority and their followers has been that there was a nation of Palestine which Israel replaced. They point to the 1948 war which was started by six Arab nations and additional forces against Israel and had nothing to do with any mythical nation of Palestine. The name Palestinian before 1948 was used almost exclusively to denote the Jews as the Arabs were simply known as the Arabs remarkably enough. The Palestine Brigade which fought alongside the British was made up almost entirely of Jews from the territories of Palestine. The territories of Palestine were eventually made into two nations, an Arab nation of Jordan and the Jewish nation of Israel. The Arab world refused to accept this and attempted to destroy Israel by force attacking as noted above on Israel's first day of existence, May 15, 1948.
The next question is exactly what have the Palestinian Arab representatives claimed they demand to end their violence. The reality is different from what politicians in the Western developed world claim it is and more strictly follow the line of the demonstrators and agitators who take their leads from Ramallah. The Western developed world politically correct and reality stunted politicians claim all Mahmoud Abbas and his merry gang of thugs desire is to have their own nation cut from Judea and Samaria which legally belong to Israel. Meanwhile, the BDS protesters who take their marching orders from the sponsors and originators of their movement in Ramallah, the ones who sought further assistance in the Israel boycott movement helping the Arab boycott, divestment and sanction program against Israel run by Ramallah, demanded exactly what Mahmoud and his fellow thugs have been demanding, from the river to the sea. As the Arab Palestinian Authority is modeled after the Jewish drive through the centuries which finally reached fruition during the treaty talks after World War I when other nationalistic claims were made and recognized and the San Remo Conference spelled out the map of Israel which just so happened to stretch from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea. Thus we have the BDS groups parroting the demand from Ramallah of, "From the River to the Sea, Palestine must be free." This begs whatever do they mean by free? This demand is firstly free of Jews. Next is free of non-Muslims. Finally free of even Muslims who disagree with the leadership in Ramallah which would include Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and a majority of Arab Palestinians who desire the removal of Mahmoud Abbas. It is this desire to replace Mahmoud Abbas that has stymied any hope the Arab Palestinians might have for holding elections and has nothing whatsoever to do with Israel. Mahmoud Abbas has allowed to stand the order that all of the lands from the British Mandate are to be an Islamic WAQF or holy ordained Muslim enclave, every last grain of sand. East of the Jordan there is the original Arab state of Jordan but the Arab design is for another Arab state on all the remainder of the lands west of the Jordan River. This is the origins of the protesters' chant of, "From the River to the Sea, Palestine must be free."
Further backing this claim on all the land has been Arafat's demand which became Abbas's demand that the Arab cause would continue on their liberation activities even should they receive their own recognized state as that state would be but merely the launching pad for the violent takeover of the remainder of Israel. Abbas even has taken claim to all of what is today Israel when he accepted a full sized map of Israel during one of the celebrations where the people are made to chant the River to the Sea protest song (see below). Often Abbas's statement that all he requires is to receive twenty-four percent of the land is interpreted as a demand for the lands of Gaza and the West Bank which are around twenty-two percent of what would otherwise be Israel as defined in international treaties. This was a selfless man who demanded a mere twenty two percent of the land. The reality is that the lands west of the River represent almost exactly twenty-two percent of the original Mandate Lands. That is why the ceremony pictured below is of such great importance to the Palestine replacing Israel movement. The pictured event below could have taken a photograph anywhere in Ramallah with anybody representing Israel as pictured below. This picture was given to Abbas as a sign of solidarity during one of the numerous Arab summit meetings which are always scheduled just as often for kicking off the next intifada or reaching a new understanding ending the concluding wave of violence. These presentations are given massive coverage in the media in Europe but are seen less often by Americans as the American media is not government controlled, just the American media is chosen for depicting the government accomplishments and offering forth the latest and greatest peace proposal. This peace proposal was the surrender of all of Israel, an event they see as inevitable as many in the West, especially the United States, are ready to sacrifice all of Israel on the funeral pyre of Western society in Europe.
So, in a twisted manner it really is Israel which is the greatest threat as Israel is the stopper standing between the Islamic Middle East and the formerly Christian Europe. It is of great importance that the death of Christianity in Europe will become the main recognized fact behind the complete loss of will to protect what has been built. It is exactly the willingness of Israel to resist and fight for her identity as the sole Jewish State standing between an awakening of Islamic supremacy and the death of faith in Europe. It was in part because of the Israeli willingness to take in all of the Jews displaced after World War I which facilitated the formation of Israel. This was of great importance to the Zionists seeking a return to their native lands and rebuilding the modern society with Jerusalem as its character. The lands where Israel was separated for the new nation were refuted by Islamic sensibilities which demanded that the land remain ruled over by Muslims. This demand led directly to the backing of Hamas, as the Muslim Brotherhood aligned group against Fatah which was the secular entity, which left the Jewish State as the least likely to become self-governing as the land was seemingly destined to remain under Islamic rule. The Zionists proved to be the dominant group within the area and this directly forced the decisions to permit Israel to be the Jewish State to come to fruition. Even the British White Papers which attempted to limit Jewish integration into the society under seventy-five-thousand per year proved insufficient to prevent the Jews from reaching the Holy Lands through whatever means was available. This was followed by the Arab and Muslim nations expelling their Jews over the first fifteen years after Israel was recognized. Most of these Jews had all their wealth taken by the Arabs as they left facing annihilation if they had remained. With limited funds, unless they had relatives in Europe or the United States, these Jews found their way to Israel which gladly accepted these Jews. This was the first result which proved Israel would accept any Jewish refugees from anywhere in the world, a pledge tested numerous times and Israel rose to meet every challenge facing world Jewry throughout her existence.
The threat Israel poses to Islam is preventing their marching straight through Europe, and from there conquering the Americas, Africa and eventually Asia and the rest of the world. Israel is and always has been the beating heart of the Jewish people and their dream of their heavenly Holy Lands which seemingly only bloom when the Jews hold these lands. This has been borne out by history and is obvious even today as one can compare the Israeli economy and accomplishments compared to Gaza, West Bank, Lebanon and anywhere throughout these areas which does not have oil wealth. The stark difference is astounding and can be recognized from high altitudes as Israel is a green jewel amidst sand colored dead earth. Israel is a necessary and crucial part of any defense of the Western way of life and as a central base for operations and any sabotage of any Arab push into Europe as well as serving as an advanced intelligence gathering unit. Finally, Israel is a leader in drone technology, security software, encryption and fully capable of designing software for virtually every scenario. Israel will prove to be the protector of the world for as long as she holds the strategic lands. Israel may serve as the launch site for any actual defense. Israel is the lynchpin linking Asian Culture, the Indian Culture, African Culture and European Culture. Throughout history wars were fought over these lands as their centrality to the many different trade routes and its religious significance made Jerusalem one of if not the most desirable city on the planet. The way the world is starting to shape up bodes of a coming storm which will center upon Israel once more except this time Israel will survive intact and those attempting to conquer her will simply smash their armies and war machines to pieces as Israel stands preventing the further spread of Islam in her area which traditionally was the jumping off point into Roman Empire and it was the walls of Acre which withstood being conquered in modern times (at least until this final war to end warring as the means to settle disputes finding a more advantageous route). There is a great possibility that a long anticipated fight will finally take place where the future, if any, will be decided between Islam, Judaism, Christianity and religious freedom once and for all on the plains of Megiddo.
What Happens When Islamist Extremist Terror Faces Vlad the Invader?

Apparently there were no newspapers, radio news or television news and nobody was much interested in the Chechen war of terrorism against Russia which caused troubles for the Russian government as nobody apparently knew how to fight this threat and remain unfazed, untouched, unshamed and completely oblivious to any and all the negative condemnations and accusations of human rights abuses, war crimes and negative fallout from the necessary acts which would prove effective once applied. But where to find a human who had nerves of steel, that glazed look in their eyes, and a stone cold heart who would be capable of rivaling Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia, also known as Vlad Drăculea and lovingly by the peoples of Romania, Vlad the Impaler. The year was 1999 and the Russians found their man, a lieutenant colonel from the KGB back in the day stationed in Dresden, East Germany from 1985 to 1990. He was assigned a cover as a translator and interpreter while assigned to the KGB's Directorate S with the other operatives who were actually agents using undercover identities. Putin worked in coordination with the infamous and often cruel Stasi Secret Police, who were often too obvious, where he assisted in selecting potential and approaching with attempts to recruit foreigners for assignments to carry out espionage for the Soviet Union. The fall of the Berlin wall and collapse of the Soviet Union would have left a lesser man in a desperate state but Vladimir Putin simply burned the KGB's files, attempted to contact his similarly desperate seniors in Moscow who surprisingly were not in the office any longer as they too were scrambling to establish a new identity and position in the rapidly morphing government and governance. Putin landed himself in Leningrad and assumed position with the International Affairs section of Leningrad State University. Then he was chosen probably in part because he was expendable, but he proved to be far more dangerous than a man with nothing to lose, he became the man of the hour and took the Chechen problem and smashed it head-on. Putin applied the full force of the Russian military leveling entire neighborhoods and eventually leveled most of the Chechen Capital City of Grozny and caused severe damage throughout Chechnya and severely disabled the framework, networks, coordination and effectiveness and when the Second Chechen War concluded they wrote their new Constitution which declared their being a republic within the Russian Federation and the terror problems with Chechen rebels have virtually stopped and Putin gained the love and admiration of the Russian people. His go to any lengths and make the losses of the and effects of the conflict so horrific for the enemies that they completely concede disputed territory and avoided any further conflict that the horror afflicted and the appreciation of his population for the end of threats by the enemy that it reminds us of another Vlad, Vlad Drăculea. Way back in the ancient days of March 16, 2014, we saw this parallel between Vlad Drăculea from history and similar current actions and popularity with the people for his making their lives safer by Vladimir Putin, and the facts that they were both named Vlad. So we went the extra step and took the inspiration of Vlad Drăculea being named by his adversaries as Vlad the Impaler, and we gave Vladimir Putin the title Vlad the Invader when he entered the Crimea, Ukraine. {For anyone so inclined to peruse our collection of articles thus far concerning Vladimir Putin under our reference of Vlad the Invader can go here care-of, dare I reveal it, Google.}
The rambling above has its reasons as we are likely to have one of those moments when the current resembles the past but as an echo put through an amplifier and a few special effects added. As established, Vladimir Putin, Vlad the Invader, is a get the job done, damn the consequences, because as long as the people are behind me and will continue to elect me to whatever position is required for me to remain above the consequences, then damn those consequences and its pedal to the metal and increasing pressure until the others squeal and beg for mercy, though we know no mercy. Still, there has been a pressure vessel being pumped as fast and as far and wide as the Saudi Arabia Wahabbists and the Egyptian Al-Azhar University trained Imams are able to, with the aid of the social networks, online videos and their charismatic appeal combined with descriptions of grandeur awaiting those who take action in the holy jihad against the Western World, which oddly enough to these Imams the Russian Federation which was salvaged from the collapsed Soviet Union had now been relegated to the Western World. Many of the youth are looking at a future with little if any promise and frustration building up such that they eagerly seek something or someone to blame for what is described to them as a conspiracy of the Western Powers who spread corruption and misery wherever they rule as they take what they want and ignore those living in these places. All the poverty and lack of opportunity is inflated into a global conspiracy blaming whomever their chosen target of the moment is which is about to be the Russian Federation, currently Europe's largest Muslim country. One might say that they know not with whom they are about to open terrorist hostilities. These Imams have all the trademarks of terror instigators with the training and certificates to match. They have been operating mostly in Central Russia centering efforts with the Tatars, Russia's largest Muslim ethnic group numbering about 5 million, along with estimated 2.5 to 5 million Uzbeks, 1 million Tajiks and 1 million Kyrgyz all who currently reside in Russia. These Muslims are being radicalized with mixed but slowly building the result of both Salafism and Wahhabism, ultra-conservative movements within Sunni Islam.
All of this will eventually reach the desired conflict but unlikely the desired end being aimed for by these outside forces who are instigating and also enlisting mostly illegal immigrants from Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkistan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan and Afghanistan. These are numbering also in the millions as there is little enforcement and what there is can easily be worked around. The plan is not difficult to ascertain as it is the same as what has worked so perfectly with Islamic conquest since the early 700's when they first spread out of their thin slivers of habitual areas on the rims of the Arabian Peninsula, some things never really change much. Step 1: infiltrate with immigration both legal if given the opportunity as was just extended by Angela Merkel and jumped on the bandwagon were François Hollande and Barack Obama, all of which are in denial of Islamist terror potential with the unchecked waves of 'refugees' which have an imbalance of men aged mid to late teens through mid-thirties all able bodied, single and many wearing designer cloths talking on the latest model iPhones. Step 2: demand changes to accommodate Islam and begin terror strikes to set area on the edge needing just the right bold strike of organized wide front of terror to send them beyond the cusp and likely unable to recover before the end plays out. Step 3: start to take position in the government and get trusted Muslims in position which are elected and push the non-Islamic native population from the area allowing them to remain either as Dhimmi paying the Jiyza or having converted to Islam which will get them observed to catch them still practicing their former religion in secret. Then the final Step 4: make the push to take the entire nation through force and install a theocratic dictatorship.
There will be a one-step solves all problems as Vlad the Invader shares the shock value though Vlad the Invader needs to be somewhat more tactful and within societal norms as even stretched by a long and grinding war one may not use Vlad the Impaler methods of impaling the bodies of those enemies taken prisoner and the dead left on the field of nettle by the invaders all on pike poles impaled with the other end of the impaling weapon firmly thrust deeply into the ground making for a gruesome and horrific sight which had the desired shock and flight rather than fight reflex from his enemies. The Ottoman Turks who were constantly trying to take the Romanian lands are reputed at one point to assign their most feared and similarly barbarous with his tactics to the point of appearing unbalanced or completely insane. His response to the request that he take care of the Vlad Drăculea problem and he ungraciously refused claiming that fighting a foe who showed to be even beyond the cusp by the Ottoman Turks most egregious commander who used shock value tactics himself but was quite terrified of Vlad the Impaler and thus the effect of peace and freedom from Ottoman rule. Vladimir Putin will still use the tactics he learned while studying methods within the KGB, the original trainers of Yasser Arafat and Mahmoud Abbas as well as other expert murderers such as Che Guevara, Joseph Stalin, Mao Tso Deng, Pol Pot and too many others to list.
If one were to question Vlad the Invader's metal, one need go not very far to get results, just ask the residents and rulers of Georgia, Crimea, Eastern Ukraine, Chechnya and especially Chechen Capital City of Grozny as they will all weave a similar story of brutality and no apparent tactics beyond that of intimidation though overwhelming damage, loss of life, and senseless bombardment with the only explanation being that if a target was known then why not take out the whole block and every block around it and most of the ones on the outside of those just to make sure if the target was attempting to escape. This is not beyond other KGB rumored methods as in Lebanon one of the people taken hostage in a Hezballah raid was a Soviet Union official along with a few British, French, an Italian and a few Americans. The Italian was released with the threat for each nation to release all the Islamic terror suspects and those who already faced trial and were serving their sentences. The next day, after receiving intelligence that indeed a Russian national was taken there was an immediate Soviet response. An embassy vehicle drove by the headquarters building in southern Beirut where they rolled out the heads of three Hezballah terrorists captured the evening after the abducted Russian was confirmed on the ensuing morning. The heads included a note informing them where the rest of the bodies were buried and informed then if they had not released their Russian hostage, they could expect more deliveries. The Russian was standing at the gates of the Soviet Union's Embassy later that very night carrying a letter of abject apologies and no Soviet Union citizen was again proving that when barbarity is met with superior barbarity the message is fully understood. The fact that the American hostages were amongst the last to be released was even more proof that one cannot answer barbarous hostilities with words and negotiations which include empty threats which the terrorists fully understand will never be carried out because the nations they are fighting obey the rules of war. This leads to the situation where one will act predictably which means their every move can be anticipated and thus their terror adversaries were always at least one step ahead.
Surprise and brash acts are the only tactic shown to work other than almost carpet-bombing entire cities or regions, acting impulsively or deliberately contrary to logic and all predictability and even with undue force and sinking not only to their level but a number of levels deeper just to assure that your message that you will destroy whatever it takes to shock the terrorists and their leaders to such an extent that they beg you for an end to the attacks or whatever utilized which got their full attention of the terror forces and it would be unwise to reignite such a game which required one to chance another person's life. Such games and such stakes must be eradicated before another life is needlessly wasted. Never again must be the stated policy of any democratic nation and it must be strictly followed no matter the consequence. To cave to such demands only endangers everyone else as there becomes the idea that if one kidnaps the correct person or sufficient numbers of victims are kidnapped that a free nation will then cave to the demands placing one person above that of the entirety of the remaining population. Putin knows how that game is played and is willing to play such a game in the most brutal way. Where such is apparently such a violent and callous manner to treat life but it is the only way to prevent future lives being placed in danger making every foreign tourist a potential target and eventually that target becomes anybody anywhere. Odd as it may seem, the Russian policy could very well be the only manner in which to take such situations to their final manner and logistically defused in a manner which ends the kidnap threat as it gains the terrorist foe no gains. We need to unfortunately learn this answer ourselves or we will be subjecting the entirety of the Middle East in the actions not taken over the next few years. Careful planning before any situation becomes the news crisis of the decade until next week once the government caves to the demands. That is the reason terrorists must never be negotiated with, only destroyed wherever they stand.
Why Israel Must Ignore the White House as Should the World

White House spokesman Josh Earnest read his part and I can only hope he was wincing with each word, and if not then he is unfeeling and dead between the ears or plain evil as his boss. The statement read, "The United States remains deeply concerned by the recent violence and escalating tensions surrounding Haram al-Sharif, or the Temple Mount, as it's also known. The United States, as we routinely do, strongly condemn all acts of violence, particularly in that location that's so sacred to many, many people. It is absolutely critical that all sides exercise restraint, refrain from provocative actions and rhetoric, and preserve unchanged the historic status quo on the Haram al-Sharif Temple Mount, both in word and in practice." Let's take the crazy train and try to understand this statement for what it is worth.
First and foremost, the referencing to the Temple Mount as the secondary name tells us that despite it being a slight interpretation from what is in the hardbound book "The Audacity of Hope" I will first give the direct quote which states "Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific assurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction." Well, the political winds are ugly and are being made that way by the rock throwers and not their targets who are the ones actually losing their homelands and President Obama is standing with them. The primary use of the name Haram al-Sharif tells all as that is not the name used by the world in which President Obama is presumably their main spokesperson.
Of course we all realize that President Obama is not the representative of the American people who stand with Israel by a sizeable margin and the supporters of Israel are predominantly Christians who far outnumber the Jewish supporters of Israel. I am glad to be able to claim that the majority of the most devout and honest supporters of Israel are Christians. A friend here coordinates and facilitates visits by Christian groups including many clergy and when they arrive they do not care so much about seeing anything but Jerusalem. Sure they also desire to visit Nazareth and Bethlehem but mostly come to support Israel and be able to tell others that they have visited Israel and it is alive, vibrant and a miracle every day it continues to defy the odds and exist surrounded as she is by a sea of pure hatred beyond descriptions. Many have done their homework and ask to visit the graves of venerable Rabbis from Israeli history, and we are talking Torah luminaries from over two-thousand years ago and then some. I am embarrassed to say that many of these Christians have a deeper knowledge of my Bible and the historic sages whose graves they demand to visit in place of any scheduled tour; they just want to pray with the Israelis and show their support. What can be said other than thank you my friends.
Back to the White House statement echoing the Europeans all who cast equal blame on both sides for the violence if we are fortunate and heap the majority of the blame on Israel for the violence. They know that the supposed violence by Israel are the police attempting to keep order and that the violence is instigated at the directives and desires of Mahmoud Abbas and the others who wish to destroy Israel, murder her people and then dance on their graves. The example of shared responsibility for the violence can be demonstrated with the horrific death of Alexander Levlovitz, the Israeli man who was stoned to death while driving home from Rosh Hashanah dinner with friends and family. His violence was driving while in an elevated state of joy when rocks flew through his windshield causing him to lose control of the car and he died in the ensuing crash. Others in the car came away with varying degree of injuries and none in the car got out of this murderous act unscathed. What was the crime for which Alexander Levlovitz was murdered? He was murdered because he was a Jew and an Israeli Jews on top of that. He was murdered by hatred so deep that it brings out an animal lust for the kill in those so inflicted. What is sad are the number of Western leaders who feel it necessary to equate keeping the law and imposing order and going about life with the murderous rage demonstrated daily by the Muslims who are throwing the rocks, bricks, Molotov Cocktails, cinderblocks and other objects at any vehicle sporting an Israeli license plate. For your information, the Arab Palestinian Authority (PA) issues its own license plates which are different in color to the Israeli plates. The PA also issues drivers' licenses and have autonomy over their sectors of lands which are within Areas A and B and thanks to Europeans buying land for Arabs and building their houses for them and making sure to move them into Area C which is legally Israeli. Increasingly they are also imposing their control in all areas and have even had PA security escort rioters onto the Temple Mount.
One might be tempted to inquire as to why the Western leadership would be so enamored with the Palestinian cause and always blame both sides equally unless they are handed a reason to blame only Israel. It might be something so simple as that they know that talking or demanding civility from the Arab Palestinians is a total waste of time and effort so in order to appear as if they are actually doing anything to help they demand Israel prove their civility in the face of barbarisms. They demand of Israel as it is the only side there is any hope of getting a humane result and thus appear to be doing something. Their affliction is to be able to appear to have made some difference even if that difference only serves to worsen the situation and make its eventual resolution that much less likely to be ended politely. Add onto that the fact that some may be acting out of their deep distrust or even hatred of the Jews and their actual preference to support the Arabs as they are the victims in the leftist mindset and thus must be aided while Israel is viewed as the imperial Western nation simply because it is a modern state. Below is a video of the fighting from within the al-Aqsa Mosque as they deploy from the safety of the Mosque the police are overwhelmed by the assault.
Many of Israel's greatest detractors will pose the problem as the helpless Arab Palestinians need their assistance against the modern military and well trained police of Israel as the Arab Palestinians are the weaker side in numbers and equipment. This is the liberal mind-trap where every problem is broken into two neat parts, the advanced nation against the primitive culture and they will protect the more primal and primitive side completely unaware that eventually such support will bring these primitives to their doorstep and then what? I will tell you what be showing the greatest visual answer possible. When the very same primitives approached the oh so liberal borders of Europe the walls went up, the doors slammed shut, the police in riot gear along with some military were deployed and their borders were sealed tighter than new Tupperware lids. That is how the oh so liberal I support the tribal barbarians over the Israelis as the Arabs are so needing of our sympathy but not in my country, oh no. The Arabs teeming into Europe ran straight into their tolerance for living what they preach to Israel, just giving these poor unfortunates a place to live as you are on their lands. Well, they have now claimed Europe and they claim it as theirs and will fabricate how their ancestors lived in Europe more than five thousand years ago and were the more civilized until the blond haired blue eyed heathens came and pushed them into the desert in which they now live. What will the Europeans do when this claim is leveled against them?
That is an easy question to answer, Europe will do what Europeans are best at, they will rise up and slaughter whomever they perceive as responsible for the sad state of affairs which are coming and will continue to come now that the European leaders initially put out a welcome mat. What needs to be understood is that the Europeans did not expect the throngs to swarm over their borders and were expecting a few hundreds, not hundreds of thousands as their welcome mats produced. There is another little something which the Europeans will grab onto next as the majority of these refugees are now claiming they are not just Arabs, they are Palestinians Arabs. Apparently this did not get the response they expected as all they have seen is that the Europeans support the poor Arab Palestinians with great veneration of their cause and sympathy for their plight. Of course such goodwill is only dispensed from a comfortable distance, up close, well, not so much. The other reason for their Arab Palestinian claims is their plan B should Europe not be the wonderful lands they expect as then they will walk all the way back to the borders with Israel demanding their piece of the lands when Israel falls. Of course, perhaps the Europeans should get used to the throngs at their doorstep demanding their piece of European heaven where there is money for nothing and your chips (French fries) for free. Once Israel is felled then Europe is next and, as we have witnessed this past few weeks, then we will watch as the teeming hordes descend upon the gates and walls of Europe and then the United States.
Israel understands the reasons that they are refusing to be hospitable to these refugees as you fear what their effect will be on your civilization down the road when their youth are radicalized and told they are not being give the good jobs because of racist Western Europeans and how they need to take control of the government and only by supplanting the indigenous religious freedoms and forcing Islam on all the inhabitants will they receive justice. Yes, Europe, they will demand justice which will mean only one thing, that they are deserving and you are only permitted to give and give until you drop. And if you do not give in to their demands they will behead you, very simple, their way or the grave, that is the choice. Does any amongst you think Israel does not know what her plight would be like if they were not strong enough to survive on their own terms. Below is a shopping cart filled with bricks to be used in the rioting with police and security personnel.
Basket of Bricks used as ammunition for throwing at security police during riots
Europeans had best get this little concept into their minds and prepare for the inevitable. These clashes can only end in one way, one side vanquishes the other. If the Israelis survive then the rest of the Western culture will continue. If Israel falls then Europe will start being chipped at and slowly subsumed by an Arab Muslim assault and eventual take-over by Islamic radicals. They will use your democratic system to gain control of a city or two through threat or simply voting their way into positions through which they can force Sharia into the records as the true law of the lands. Then starts the convert or die part of their equation. Eventually your eighty percent will dwindle to the point of extinction as more and more people flee to what they term as safer grounds. That begs the question as to how far will the politically correct people actually go in forming this noose to be placed around their necks? There is always the other choice, namely that if Israel fails then they will be knocking down your fences and swarming into Europe in numbers which make this stampede look like a small-town parade. Eventually will come the rock throwing followed by firebombs and then gun shots and then starts the real demonstrations with hundreds and then thousands demanding the actions of the non-believers be acceptable in the eyes of Islam. Women will be forced to wear conservative clothing or face being gang raped as any woman dressed showing that much skin is simply asking for whatever she gets even to include gang rapes. It does not have to be this way and it will only be exactly this scenario should Europeans continue to turn a blind eye to the obvious.
It is possible for Islam to be as mild, unassuming and private as any other religion in Western civilization. To achieve such a goal political Islam, which is practiced throughout the Middle East, must be defeated and their nations must be brought kicking and screaming into the twenty-first-century. The Muslims of Azerbaijan have a form of modern Islam which is compatible with Western democracies and freedom of religion permitted and even endorsed. There will always be those exceptions, those throwbacks who practice the Islam of conquest, the Caliphate, the original Islam which set out to conquer the world and which has many adherents still holding on to that dream. Western powers need to support leaders like Egyptian President al-Sisi with their call for modernizing Islam so it can fit within the modern societal belief in multi-cultural freedoms. Basically, the time has come to have the adherents of Islam return to their Mecca written Qurans and depart their Medina written Qurans. For an explanation of the difference please read our article Which Quran, Mecca or Medina? Islam is heading towards a crisis or the rest of the world is about to surrender to Allah's swords, those are the choices and there is no third path.
As far as Israel is concerned, the choice is simple and comes down to there being only space for one nation between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. That nation can be a beacon of freedom and liberty or it can be a nation of oppressions and retrograde culture having absolutely no ability to modernize or to leave the path of conflict with the aim of bringing the world to their brand of Islam. What is actually nice about this is the choice will be decided as to how difficult and at what price the eventual winner will emerge. What is not so nice is there is a definitive possibility that the barbarian tribal nation bent on world conquest could end up the victor. With European aid or without the more modern multicultural though predominantly Jewish nation will prevail in the end even without Western assistance or perhaps despite such help which has forced Israel to settle for partial victories knowing full well that only a complete and demoralizing defeat will prevent the next war launched by the Arabs when they feel they have the advantage. That is why Israel fought so bitterly and hard to defeat the Iran treaty as the Israelis see it as accommodating the Iranians and selling Israeli safety down the river. Time will tell but the one promise which we can make is how goes Israel, so goes Europe and the remainder of the Western world. Yes, my friends, it is really that simple and the hordes sweeping over Europe despite the attempts to prevent it stands as all the proof any reasoning man could predict and see coming from a mile away. This invasion was the initial attempt to plant sufficient copies of Arab Palestinian malcontents across Europe making it ready for things to come. That would be a revolution which would seek to erase all the borders in Europe and make it an Islamic fortress where all remaining within these walls will soon pass and the doors will once again fly open but likely only briefly as the former Muslims after securing the good life will not want their apple-cart overturned by the same style invasion which predicated their becoming an Islamic stronghold. That is your choice our friends in Europe and we hope so deeply you choose well. Possibly both our survivals may be tied to finding the answer to this conundrum, so please choose wisely and after some deep taking stock in what Europe is and who the people were who made it into the place it is today, decide what you want for Europe to be in its future. Then consider how large a threat is sitting on your shores and borders and choose wisely or suffer the consequences for a very long time.

It's that time when we're saying goodbye to the current year and looking forward to the next. And at Prestige, when we start thinking about the year to come, we can't help but think about what's coming next for kitchen design. If we can judge by how our kitchens will look, 2018 is going to be a fun year!
Blue is everywhere for kitchens in 2018, from cabinets to appliances. And for 2018 it's all about rich tones, even the lighter shades don't go all the way to pastel. Sherwin Williams predicts bright color palettes will be one of the biggest trends in all the different spaces in your home next year.
Make a splash in any kitchen with bright blue appliances. With it's retro-industrial design this hood and stove combo covers multiple trends and instantly adds a pop of freshness to the space.
While blue is the trendiest right now, color is everywhere, on everything, right now. And we love it. Fun, bright shades make any space feel happier.
These sinks are available in a rainbow of shades.
Glass front cabinet doors aren't a new idea, but they're all over for 2018. This style turns cabinetry into a display space for collectibles or pretty dishes. They also help create the illusion that your kitchen is larger by providing a sense of depth and openness. You do have to keep the contents clean and organized, clutter can't be hidden away with these.
Floors are taking center stage for 2018. And while classic hardwoods will never go out of style, this trend is all about creating an amazing look with standout tile. Big or small, brightly colored or a more subdued palette, the options are limitless.
"Rugging," a floor tiling trend where patterned tiles are surrounded by plain ones in a block style that resembles a rug, will be huge in 2018. Personally, we think this is a super cool way to add interest in an unexpected way.

The world can be a stressful place. Your home should not be. It should be your sanctuary, where you go to relax, and escape the chaos of it all. Whether you're trying to become happier in general, or just looking for different ways to elevate your already good mood, the space you spend such important time in can easily reflect that. After all, your house plays an integral part in how you feel on a daily basis.
This is an easy one. Remembering positive times and experiences makes us happy. It's that simple. Put up cherished pictures, show off travel souvenirs, it's all about what represents a happy time for you and your family.
There are entire studies devoted to the principle that colors can positively or negatively affect our mood. Some colors are scientifically proven to make us happy. Bold isn't always better though, this is another aspect of design where your options are limited only by your preferences. If you want to go big you can do an entire room in a happy color. You can easily incorporate pops of color into a space to create impact as well.
Any interior designer will tell you that lighting is key when it comes to setting the mood in any space. And for creating good vibes in your home, nothing works better than natural light. Let in the sunshine! It's a proven fact that time spent in the sun automatically triggers good feelings. And for spaces where light is scarce, or for winter months, go for bulbs that mimic natural light as closely as possible. And try to avoid fluorescent lighting; it's been shown to raise anxiety levels.
Turns out mom was right about this one. Making your bed is a three minute task that has been proven to positively impact one's mood for the rest of the day. But it's not just making your bed. Studies have shown that taking a couple of minutes in each room to bring them to "readiness" lowers stress levels. And lower stress levels equals a happier existence.
Prestige Marble & Granite is all about making you happy in your home. We are here to help you with a vast selection of unique, exotic and rare natural stones from around the world.

The club was formed in September 1974 by a close-knit group of like-minded musical friends at its original home, The Rockingham Arms, Wentworth. Initially on Thursday evenings, it met every fortnight for a year until the "Rock' renovated its barn which became a perfect live music venue. This enabled the club to convert to a weekly Friday night club and this has been the format ever since. Over time one of our founders, Rob Shaw, became the mainstay and his foresight and industry enabled the club to become one of the premier live folk music venues in the UK and in 2004 won the prestigious Radio Two Folk Club Of The Year award.
After 32 years at the 'Rock' the club was forced to change its location and name with 'the Rock at Maltby' representing its new home at the Wesley Centre in the old mining village. All things pass and in late 2013 the club eventually found its permanent home at the Ukrainian Centre in Doncaster where it continues to present South Yorkshire with the best in local, national and international live folk/roots music. 45 years now and long may we continue!
Late 2019 news! We have joined forces with Doncaster Folk Festival and will be providing the Friday and Saturday evening concerts at our home in the Ukrainian Centre. See the What's On page for more details.


Five things to watch as MTSU hosts Charlotte on Saturday.
Middle Tennessee is looking to bounce back after the Blue Raiders' loss to Florida International last week.
MTSU (3-3, 2-1 Conference USA) hosts Charlotte (3-3, 2-1) for homecoming at 2 p.m. Saturday.
"I told our team (on Sunday), this is the best Charlotte team we've played since they came to the conference," MTSU coach Rick Stockstill said. "... I tip my hat to (Charlotte coach) Brad Lambert and what he's done with this program. You can see his influence and the direction he's got this program going."
Charlotte's football program joined Conference USA in 2015. MTSU has won all three previous meetings.
Stockstill said on Monday that his son and starting quarterback Brent Stockstill's status for the game is uncertain. Stockstill hurt his left ankle in the 24-21 loss to FIU after completing a pass in the second quarter. Backup Asher O'Hara, who threw for 114 yards and rushed for 85 against the Panthers, is scheduled to start if Stockstill cannot play.
Charlotte also is having injury issues at quarterback. Starter Chris Reynolds was hurt in the win over Western Kentucky and will miss the rest of the season after having ankle surgery, according to David Scott of The Charlotte Observer. Evan Shirreffs will start for Charlotte. Shirreffs was 5-of-7 passing for 118 yards and a touchdown last week.
Safety Jovante Moffatt will miss the first half against Charlotte after being ejected for targeting against FIU. Moffatt was penalized for a hit to the helmet in the third quarter. As a result, he will have to sit out the first half and can return during the second half. Wesley Bush and Kylan Stribling will rotate at safety in his place.
Charlotte junior running back Benny LeMay is having a breakout season. LeMay is second in the conference, behind Florida Atlantic's Devin Singletary, with 535 rushing yards, and he has scored five touchdowns.
"Benny LeMay is a hard-nosed and downhill runner," Stockstill said. "I think he has deceptive speed. He does a good job in the passing game, too, so he's a complete back and can do a lot of great things for them."
MTSU athletics director Chris Massaro said that a wine selection will be available at Saturday's game. Alcohol sales at Floyd Stadium began Sept. 8. Divino merlot and pinot grigio will be available.

National emblem of Belarus
☰ Contents
Armiger
June 7, 1995; 24 years ago (1995-06-07)
Blazon
Globe, rising sun and an outline of Belarus in green
The national emblem of Belarus, which replaced the historic Pahonia arms in a 1995 referendum, features a ribbon in the colors of the national flag, a map of Belarus, wheat ears and a red star. It is sometimes referred to as the coat of arms of Belarus. The emblem is an allusion to one that was used by the Byelorussian SSR, designed by Ivan Dubasov in 1950, with the biggest change being a replacement of the Communist hammer and sickle with an outline map of Belarus.
The Belarusian name is Dziaržaŭny herb Respubliki Biełaruś (Дзяржаўны герб Рэспублікі Беларусь), and the name in Russian is Gosudarstvennyĭ gerb Respubliki Belarusʹ (Государственный герб Республики Беларусь).
The emblem on a building in Minsk
In the center of the emblem sits a green outline of Belarus, superimposed over the rays of a golden sun. The sun is partially covered by a globe, with the landmass (part of Eurasia) in purple and waters in blue. Lining the left and right sides of the emblem are stalks of wheat, superimposed with flowers. Clovers adorn the left wheat stalks; flax flowers adorn the right. Wrapped around the wheat stalks is a red and green ribbon bearing the colours of the flag of Belarus; the ribbon meets at the base of the emblem, where the name Republic of Belarus (Рэспубліка Беларусь) is inscribed in gold in Belarusian. At the top of the emblem there is a five-pointed red star.[1]
The elements that comprise the state emblem are not tied to any "official" symbolism. The design of the emblem of the Byelorussian SSR was used as the basis for the current Belarusian emblem; the primary difference between the two is that the Byelorussian SSR emblem contains more references to Communism, such as the Communist symbol of hammer and sickle and pure red ribbon with Communist mottoes, which the modern emblem does not, replaced with the outline and the flag of Belarus, respectively, however it still retains the communist red star, the red ribbon (albeit without the mottoes), the globe and the wheat bundles, which are also typical of Soviet emblems and still is very Soviet in nature.
Belarusian passport bearing the state emblem on the left. 2009
The current law regulating the design and use of the Belarusian emblem was passed on July 5, 2004. Article 9 of Chapter 3 of Law No. 301-3 begins by describing the official drawing of the Belarusian arms and regulates on its proper design. Officially, the arms can be drawn in full colour, monochrome or using two colors. Article 10 states that the national emblem must be displayed at specified locations on a continual basis, such as the residences of the Belarusian leader, the chamber of the National Assembly and at governmental offices of national and regional levels. The emblem can also be used on documents issued by the government, including money, passports and official letterheads.[2]
The law also restricts the use of the emblem in other contexts—e.g. cities, towns or oblasts may not adopt a coat of arms or emblem using the national emblem either completely or in part. Furthermore, organizations not listed in the Law on State Symbols may only use the emblem by permission. The emblem can be used by both foreigners and citizens of Belarus, as long as the symbol is displayed with respect, although citizens may not use the state emblem on letterheads or business cards if they are not agents of the government.[2]

In addition to standard usages listed in the law, the emblem has been used in various other circumstances. The emblem is displayed, along with the national flag, at the beginning and the end of a video clip with the Belarusian anthem My Belarusy, regularly played on Belarusian television. Another use of the emblem is on ballot boxes and campaign mailings used during national and local elections. The emblem also appears on Belarus's border posts.[3]
Pahonia
Main article: Pahonia
The Pahonia was used as an official coat of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania since 1366 after being first used as the personal arms of Algirdas, the Grand Duke of Lithuania. The arms continued to be used until Grand Duchy of Lithuania were annexed by the Russian Empire in 1795, though the arms was incorporated into the Imperial coat of arms.[4] The idea of return to the historic national symbol was pursued by Belarusian poet Maksim Bahdanovič in his poem "Pahonia". The arms was again used in 1918 when the short-lived Belarusian People's Republic used the Pahonia as its emblem.
More recently, the Pahonia was the official coat of arms starting in 1991, when Belarus declared itself independent of the Soviet Union. It was replaced by the current emblem following a controversial referendum held in 1995.
Since it was dropped as the official emblem of Belarus, opposition groups such as the Belarusian People's Front have used the Pahonia as part of their own party symbols or used them as a form of protest against Belarusian leader Alyaksandr Lukashenka.[5]

Emblem of the Byelorussian SSR
Main article: Emblem of the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic
From 1920 until the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, the Byelorussian SSR used an emblem instead of a coat of arms. The first emblem used by Soviet Byelorussia was adopted in 1919 and is similar to the contemporary insignia of the Russian and Ukrainian republics. The central part of the emblem is a stylized red shield, showing a golden sun rising from the base. Above the sun is a crossed golden hammer and sickle, symbolizing unity between workers and peasants. Above the hammer and sickle, the letters Б.С.С.Р are shown in black, denoting the name of the republic. БССР (BSSR) is an abbreviation for the full name of the republic; "Беларуская Савецкая Сацыялістычная Рэспубліка", the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic. The shield is framed by ears of wheat meeting at its base and featuring a red ribbon inscribed in black with the state motto of the Soviet Union, "Workers of the World, Unite!" The text is written in the Belarusian language.[6]
In 1937, this emblem was replaced by a new one, removing the shield and including more text. The right side of the emblem features oak leaves and the left features wheat ears with clovers placed on top. In the center of the emblem, a sun is rising behind a profile of Earth. A hammer, sickle and red star appears over the sun. Around the ears of wheat and leaves of oak is a red ribbon, featuring the phrase "Workers of the World, Unite!" written (from left to right) in Belarusian, Yiddish, Polish and Russian. The initials Б.С.С.Р are shown at its base denoting the name of the republic. Ten years before in 1927, the arms was the same except for the wording on the bottom ribbon. Instead of the letters reading БССР, the letters read "С.С.Р.Б", which stood for the Soviet Socialist Republic of Byelorussia.[7]
This emblem was in turn replaced by a new one in 1950. The central feature of this symbol is a crossed hammer and sickle, a universal Communist symbol symbolizing the unity of workers and peasants. Below this symbol, a sun is shown rising behind a globe. The insignia is framed by ears of wheat, each ear ending in flowers; clover on the left and flax on the right. A red ribbon is wrapped around the ears of wheat, reminiscent of the red flag used by the Communist movement. The base of the emblem shows the letters БССР. The ribbon features the phrase Workers of the World, Unite! The left side inscribed in Belarusian, the right side in Russian. The red star of Communism is featured above the hammer and sickle. The 1950 version was designed by Ivan Dubasov, a People's Artist of the USSR.[7] Article 119 of the Constitution of the Byelorussian SSR defines the design of the emblem.[8]

1995 referendum
Main article: 1995 Belarusian referendum
On May 14, 1995, a referendum was conducted in all regions of Belarus. Out of four questions, one was the following: "Do you support the introduction of the new national symbols?" With a voter turnout of 64.7%, the new state symbols were approved by a ratio of 3:1 (75.1% to 24.9%). The way the referendum was carried out was heavily criticized by the opposition, including the exact wording of the question about the national insignia.[9] Supporters of the Pahonia also criticize that the Pahonia and the former white-red-white flag were compared to ones, used by collaboration forces, in propaganda that was published during the run-up to the vote.[10] The comparison was made due to the white, red, white flag and Pahonia being used on the patches and symbols of the Belarusian Central Rada, the Belarusian government under the control of Nazi Germany. Alexander Lukashenko claimed the selection of the Soviet-inspired symbols as a victory, especially to his Great Patriotic War veteran base, by saying "we have returned to you the flag of the country for which you fought. We have returned to you both memory and a sense of human pride."[11]

Q: Bootstrap Carousel items not reached by jquery I have a bootstrap carousel, and multiple items inside it. the items inside have scrolling text when its too long, the scrolling logic is handled by jquery and the issue is that only the item that is shown on page load has scrolling text and the others items that come later dont have the scroll effect, it seems that bootstrap carousel is preventing the jquery from running the animation.
question is why does't the animation not happen on items loaded afterwards?

Rocky Balboa est un film américain écrit et réalisé par Sylvester Stallone, sorti en 2006.

C'est le sixième film de la série débutée en 1976.

Synopsis

Rocky Balboa, qui  a depuis longtemps quitté le ring, mène une vie paisible à Philadelphie où il tient un restaurant italien baptisé Adrian's, en hommage à sa femme Adrian, moteur de son existence, décédée à la suite d'un cancer. Il se rend très souvent sur la tombe de sa femme et n'entretient plus que des relations distantes avec son fils Robert, qui ne supporte plus que les gens ne le voient que comme le fils de Rocky. Pour redonner un but à sa vie, Rocky décide de se remettre à boxer.

Le champion du monde de boxe, Mason « The Line »  Dixon, est impopulaire, la presse et le public l'accusant de ne choisir que des adversaires faciles et de ne jamais avoir eu à se battre au maximum de ses capacités. À la suite d'une vidéo en image de synthèse d'une chaîne de télévision le montrant face à Balboa (le but de cette vidéo étant de démontrer que Dixon serait mis au tapis), son  manager décide d'organiser un combat d'exhibition pour faire remonter sa cote de popularité.

Après des réticences, Rocky accepte le combat pour se sentir revivre sur le ring et prouver à tous qu'il n'est pas fini. Il reprend donc le chemin de la salle d'entraînement pour se préparer à l'ultime match de sa vie avec Paulie, Duke, son fils Robert de qui il s'est beaucoup rapproché et Steps, le fils de Marie, une fille que Rocky a raccompagnée chez elle  plus tôt et convaincue de ne plus fréquenter les voyous de son quartier, et avec laquelle il noue des liens forts.

Le jour du combat, au Mandalay Bay de Las Vegas, Rocky n'atteint pas au  Mason Dixon qui esquive les coups et se montre très rapide. Rocky se rattrape dans les rounds suivants, profitant d'une blessure à la main de son rival. Rocky se montre héroïque durant tout le combat, encaissant de nombreux coups et se relevant plusieurs fois après être allé au tapis. À la fin du match, les deux boxeurs se félicitent mutuellement, Martin, le coach de Dixon, lui fait comprendre qu'il doit encore progresser. Rocky, grâce à ce match, s'est débarrassé de ses angoisses et en sort apaisé.

Si les juges désignent Mason Dixon vainqueur (2 juges pour Dixon contre 1 pour Rocky), Rocky est acclamé par la foule qui scande son nom et n'a d'yeux que pour lui.

Production

Distribution des rôles
Stallone voulait Vin Diesel pour le rôle de Mason Dixon mais ce dernier avait un emploi du temps trop chargé. Il a aussi proposé le rôle au boxeur Roy Jones Jr..

Sylvester Stallone a choisi Milo Ventimiglia pour jouer son fils car ils ont tous deux une paralysie faciale au niveau des lèvres ce qui rappelle le visage de Stallone.

James Binns incarne ici un arbitre alors qu'il était avocat dans Rocky 5.

Le boxeur américain Mike Tyson fait une apparition dans le film. Il a improvisé lui-même ses dialogues.

Tournage
Le tournage a eu lieu à Philadelphie (« Rocky Steps » du Philadelphia Museum of Art, Kensington, Fairmount Park, Philadelphia Animal Care and Control Association, Philadelphia City Hall, Philadelphia Civic Center) et à Las Vegas.

Bande originale

La bande originale de Rocky Bolboa est en réalité une compilation des meilleurs titres de la saga. Elle contient cependant l'inédit It's a Fight de Three 6 Mafia, qui est la musique de Mason Dixon pour entrer sur le ring. Bill Conti a par ailleurs composé Marie's theme spécialement pour le film mais il n'apparaît pas sur l'album.

Autour du film

 De nombreuses critiques font du sixième opus le meilleur depuis le tout premier épisode.

 Dans ce sixième volet, aucune allusion n'est faite aux pathologies que Rocky a malheureusement contractées durant sa carrière de boxeur, que ce soit son handicap à l'œil droit jadis révélé dans Rocky 2 ou encore les lésions au cerveau diagnostiquées au début de Rocky 5, à la suite de son combat contre le Soviétique Drago.

 On retrouve dans ce sixième opus le personnage de Spider Rico, ancien boxeur amateur que Rocky a battu au début du premier film. Il est interprété par le même figurant, Pedro Lovell. On peut d'ailleurs remarquer que le nom de Rico est une anagramme de Rocky (pour la prononciation)  ce qui peut expliquer le fait que c'est son premier adversaire dans le premier film.

 Apollo Creed, Clubber Lang et Ivan Drago font une brève apparition au moment où la carrière de Rocky est résumée lors du match de Las Vegas.
 Durant le film on peut voir un tableau peint représentant l'image de Rocky contre Apollo dans le générique de fin du troisième opus.

 C'est le troisième film de la saga qui se termine avec une dernière petite scène après la fin du match, après Rocky 3 (qui se fermait sur une petite revanche entre Rocky Balboa et Apollo Creed) et 5 (qui se concluait sur les Balboa père et fils montant les grandes marches avant de se rendre au musée).

 Lors du générique de fin, plusieurs personnes gravissent les célèbres marches du musée, dont  la propre femme de Sylvester Stallone entourée de leurs trois filles.

Anecdote
Lors de la conférence de presse préparatoire au match, la plaque signalétique devant Paulie indique son nom « Panina » au lieu de « Pennino ».
