UPI reported:
A senior Jewish rabbi on a peace mission to an occupied West Bank village was pelted by rocks Monday, witnesses said.
Chief Ashkenazi Rabbi Yona Metzger was in the village of Yasuf to hold talks with Palestinian leaders in the wake of an incident last week in which right-wing Jewish settlers, angry over a 10-month settlement freeze imposed by the Israeli government, burned an Arab mosque, Ynetnews.com reported.
The newspaper said the rabbi had entered the village under the protection of the Israeli Army and Palestinian police, but that on their way out, the contingent was pelted by rocks, and troops responded by firing two shots in the air and a tear gas grenade.
Note: The Palestinians will not let the Israelis investigate the crime scene. It is not clear if the fire was started by Israelis or Palestinians.

No “Palestinian” religious figure ever made a gesture for peace in the wake of the real desecration and burning by Muslims of the historical religious site of Joseph’s Tomb or the siege of the site by “Palestinian” terrorists trapping and killing one Israeli Druze soldier inside. http://israelmatzav.blogspot.com/2009/12/what-if-it-had-been-synagogue.html

Iran tests missile with range that can hit Israel
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) – Iran test-fired a missile capable of striking Israel, U.S. Mideast bases and Europe on Wednesday—a show of strength touted by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as he battles for re-election next month against more moderate opponents.
The U.S. responded by saying Iran must choose between destabilizing the Middle East or accepting the dialogue offered by President Barack Obama. The U.S. leader threatened earlier this week that Iran could face further international sanctions if it does not respond positively by year-end to U.S. attempts to open negotiations on itsnuclear program.
