Palestinian Kills 2 Israelis Near Hebronby webdesk@voanews.com (Associated Press)
A Palestinian man shot and killed two Israelis and wounded a teenager as they were driving in the West Bank on Friday, Israeli officials said, the latest in a nearly two-month rash of violence and almost daily Palestinian attacks on Israeli civilians and soldiers. Eli Bin from Israel's emergency services said the Friday afternoon attack killed a man in his 40s and a youth of about 18 years of age. Israeli media reported that the attack happened near the city of Hebron and that the two were father and son. At least one other person, a teenager, was wounded in the attack, Bin said. Israeli media reported that at least two Israelis were wounded and taken to hospital. The military said the "terrorist fled the scene" after the attack and that troops were searching the area. Israel's Channel 10 TV said a Palestinian man opened fire from the side of the road at a passing car, killing a man and a woman and wounding a 15-year-old boy. Hebron, the largest West Bank city, has been a particular flashpoint in the current round of violence. Several hundred Jewish settlers live in fortified enclaves in the city, amid tens of thousands of Palestinians. The military says that over the past month, Palestinians have carried out dozens of attacks in Hebron alone, including more than 20 stabbings, multiple assaults with cars and other vehicles and several shooting attacks. In all, since mid-September, 14 Israelis have been killed in Palestinian attacks, mostly stabbings. Seventy-nine Palestinians have been killed, including 50 who Israel says were involved in attacks. Friday's attack was reminiscent of a similar incident in October when Palestinians shot and killed an Israeli couple in front of their four children, including a 4-months-old infant, as the family was driving in the West Bank. Israel's Shin Bet intelligence agency later arrested five Palestinians it said were part of a Hamas cell that carried out the attack. In other developments Friday, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair announced his return to the difficult world of Mideast diplomacy, saying he was launching a new initiative to promote Israeli-Palestinian peace as a private citizen. Blair's announcement came six months after he stepped down as the Mideast envoy for the Quartet - a group that represents the United States, the European Union, Russia and the United Nations. Blair said the experience and contacts made during his eight years in that post would help him in his new effort. "What I have found actually since leaving the Quartet role is that it's been easier to have conversations in complete frankness with people. And since I have the relationships, people are maybe prepared in some way to be more forthcoming," he said. With the Quartet, Blair's role was focused primarily on developing the Palestinian economy. He said his new initiative would focus on broader political issues as well. "So, I feel a little more liberated to do what I think is necessary," he said. The initiative will include promoting a 2002 Arab initiative that offered a comprehensive peace with Israel in exchange for a full pullout from lands captured in the 1967 Mideast war, working to improve the Palestinian economy and trying to end a split that has left the Palestinians torn between rival governments in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Blair's return comes at a difficult time. The Syrian civil war and rise of the Islamic State militant group have largely pushed the Palestinian issue off the international agenda. And a year and half after peace efforts broke down, Israel and the Palestinians have been in the midst of the latest wave of violence. Israel says the fighting has been fueled by Palestinian incitement while Palestinians say it's the result of despair over the repeated failure of peace talks and a lack of hope of gaining independence. Also Friday, an 18-year-old Palestinian man died of Israeli gunshot wounds sustained the previous day in the West Bank village of Sair, Palestinian medical officials said. The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to talk to the media, said the man was shot at a demonstration that followed the funeral of a villager killed in an undercover Israeli raid overnight on a West Bank hospital. Israel said it shot the man after he attacked troops who were arresting a suspect wanted in the stabbing of an Israeli. There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military. Meanwhile, Israel's justice ministry said an indictment was filed Friday against an Israeli teenager who attacked a human rights activist last month. Footage of the attack showed a masked youth attack Rabbi Arik Ascherman and threaten him with a knife as he and other Israeli peace activists helped Palestinians harvest their olive trees in the West Bank.

French Police Report Shooting, Explosion in Parisby webdesk@voanews.com (VOA News)
French police officials say there has been an explosion in a bar near a Paris stadium and a shootout in a Paris restaurant. Early reports say several people may have been killed in the Friday shooting. It is not clear if the two incidents are linked. Few other details are immediately available.
The Iraqi military says its forces have advanced on three fronts at the beginning of an offensive to take the western city of Ramadi from Islamic State (IS) forces.
Shootings and at least one explosion left several people dead and wounded Friday in Paris. A blast at a sports stadium forced the evacuation of the French president.

The weapon was caught on camera by Channel One during President Vladimir Putin's Nov. 10 meeting with senior military and defense industry officials.
Former ambassador to Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon Ryan Crocker said that President Obama’s degrade-and-defeat mission has failed and transformed into a “perilous” strategy of containment Friday on MSNBC.
In response to President Obama’s claim Friday that the U.S. strategy has “contained” ISIS, Crocker said that the president’s strategy was initially to “degrade and ultimately defeat” the Islamic State.
“We have to decide what is our policy here,” he told MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell. “When the president first rolled it out last year, he didn’t use the word contain. He said to degrade and ultimately defeat.”
The degrade and defeat mission, however, proved to be a failure, he said.
“They’re certainly not defeated, 15 months later, and I would argue they’re not degraded, either,” he said, “and very questionable if they’re even contained.”
Crocker said that the Beirut bombing and the Russian plane crash are examples of the strategy’s failure to stop the growth of the Islamic State, noting that Obama’s deployment of 50 special forces is not significant enough to defeat ISIS.
“[50 personnel] is not going to be a game-changer in this fight against ISIS,” he said. If ISIS is truly a threat in the region, Crocker said, “we really need to ramp up our game, not just make incremental changes.”
He said that the U.S. should re-assess its strategy against the Islamic State and recommended “a whole government approach to countering the Islamic State.”
“Presidential envoy in the field, empowered deputy national security advisor back home, would start to indicate that we are really serious about an anti-Islamic State campaign,” he said. “If the fight against Islamic State is a top U.S. strategic priority, we need to act like it in the way we organize.”
Crocker warned that the Islamic State “may now be aiming at targets outside the Middle East,” which makes containment “a perilous course.”
He urged a return to the original mission.
“I think we really need to move into what the president said we were going to do, which was degrade and defeat,” Crocker said.

Most New Jersey voters say Sen. Robert Menendez (D., N.J.) should resign over federal corruption charges filed against him, a new poll and interviews with voters in the Garden State show.
Fifty-three percent of voters polled said Menendez should resign versus 39 percent who indicated he should stay in office. Forty-three percent of Democratic voters in the state believe he should go, compared with 62 percent of Republicans who think he should resign.
“Senator Robert Menendez, facing federal corruption charges, should quit, voters say,” said Quinnipiac University Poll assistant director Maurice Carroll in a prepared statement. “They split over whether what he did was illegal or simply unethical. But they think the prosecutors’ charges were based on fact, not prompted by politics.”
Menendez was indicted on federal corruption charges in April. He was charged with bribery, conspiracy, fraud, and making false statements on government documents.
The charges stem from his friendship with Dr. Salomon Melgen, a wealthy Florida ophthalmologist and political donor, who lavished the senator with gifts and flights aboard his private jet. Menendez is accused of using his position to help Melgen.
Menendez has denied any wrongdoing and has pleaded not guilty.
Menendez did not respond to a request for comment by the Washington Free Beacon.
A majority of voters also say Menendez is not honest and trustworthy. Forty-eight percent of voters responded no when asked, “Would you say that Robert Menendez is honest and trustworthy or not?,” compared to 25 percent who said yes.

President Obama’s containment strategy against the Islamic State has failed to prevent the terrorist group from launching further attacks, destabilizing the Middle East and potentially posing a threat to the U.S. homeland, critics say.
In an interview with ABC on Thursday, Obama said that the Islamic State (also known as ISIS or ISIL) is not “gaining strength.”
“From the start our goal has been first to contain and we have contained them,” he said. “They have not gained ground in Iraq and in Syria they’ll come in, they’ll leave.”
“But you don’t see this systemic march by ISIL across the terrain,” he continued. “What we have not yet been able to do is to completely decapitate their command and control structures.”
However, analysts increasingly say that while the Islamic State has not dramatically expanded the amount of territory it controls in recent weeks, it continues to conduct devastating attacks and attract followers across the region. The group is the suspected culprit behind the takedown of a Russian plane last month and the suicide bombings in Lebanon on Thursday, both of which killed dozens of people, and now has affiliates in Afghanistan, Libya, and the Sinai.
Ryan Crocker, a former U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan, Iraq, and several other Middle Eastern countries during multiple presidential administrations, noted on Friday that Obama originally said he wanted to “degrade and defeat” the Islamic State.
“It looks to me that rather than a strategy of degrade and defeat, we are pursuing a strategy of containment,” Crocker told MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell. “I think that’s highly dangerous.”
“The Islamic State is aiming at the disintegration, the destruction of the whole state system in the Middle East,” he added. “They may now be aiming at targets outside the Middle East, so I think containment is a perilous course.”
The destruction of the Russian airliner in particular is “deeply disturbing,” Crocker said. All 224 passengers and crew died in the crash, which could mark a turning point for the Islamic State as it begins to target nations beyond the Middle East.
“If they are now moving into that phase, we are facing a real strategic threat that goes far beyond the region,” Crocker said. “We need to figure out how to counter it. I don’t think we have so far.”
Obama recently announced that he would send up to 50 U.S. special operations personnel into Syria to help train Kurdish and Arab fighters battling the Islamic State. The slight adjustment to U.S. counterterror operations is unlikely to be a “game changer,” Crocker said.
“We have to decide—[is the Islamic State] a threat to the region and to us?” he said. “If they are, we really need to ramp up our game, not just make incremental changes.”
“I’m not sure I would want to bet the Empire State building that they’re not that great of a threat to the homeland,” he added.
Despite thousands of U.S. airstrikes in Iraq and Syria that are reported to have killed about 10,000 Islamic State fighters, the group continues to replenish its forces. Intelligence analysts have estimated that almost 30,000 foreign militants from more than 100 countries have entered Iraq and Syria since 2011, with the Islamic State gaining about 1,000 fighters a month, the New York Timesreported. More than 250 Americans have entered those countries or attempted to do so.
In Iraq, the Islamic State has continued to launch attacks across the country, according to the Institute for the Study of War.
“ISIS contested control of the strategic sub-district of Siniya, west of Baiji, and launched explosive attacks against Peshmerga-controlled Dibis district in northwestern Kirkuk, Haditha district in western Anbar, and Sadr City in northeastern Baghdad using explosive attacks,” the think tank said in a recent research report. “The attacks demonstrate that clearing operations and the heavy presence of security forces have failed to fully dislodge ISIS in cleared areas or prevent it from launching attacks.”
Iraqi Kurdish forces, backed by U.S. airstrikes and military advisers, achieved a significant victory on Friday by retaking the northern town of Sinjar from the Islamic State. But the Islamic State has in the past been able to counterattack after defeats, said Michael Rubin, an expert on the Middle East at the American Enterprise Institute, in an email.
Obama has failed to respond to the Islamic State’s shifting movements on the ground, Rubin said.
“Obama is acting as if it’s still early 2014,” he said. “Under his watch, the Islamic State has expanded into Libya, the Sinai, and Afghanistan.”
“I’m writing this from Baghdad where a car bomb killed three dozen today,” he added. “Obama’s been in office almost seven years. If he doesn’t recognize that rhetoric is no substitute for reality, many more people will die.”

The Department of Justice took $4.5 billion in private property including cash, cars and homes from Americans in 2014, which includes both civil and criminal forfeitures, according to a report from the Institute for Justice.
A majority, or 87 percent, of the forfeitures by the government from 1997 to 2013 were civil forfeitures, while only 13 percent were criminal.
“Under civil forfeiture laws, the government can seize this property on the mere suspicion that it is connected to criminal activity,” the report, entitled “Policing for Profit,” said. “No charges or convictions are required.”
“Every year, police and prosecutors across the United States take hundreds of millions of dollars in cash, cars, homes and other property—regardless of the owners’ guilt or innocence,” the report found.
Proceeds from the sale of this personal property are used to generate revenue for the federal government.
In 1986, the Justice Department took $93.7 million in revenue from these forfeitures and in 2014, they took $4.5 billion, representing a 4,667 percent increase.
The report drew attention to a case of asset forfeiture involving Charles Clarke, a 24-year old carrying $11,000 in cash on a flight home to Florida. Federal agents claimed that Clarke’s bag smelled of marijuana and seized the funds. Although the law enforcement officials could not find any drugs on his person or his bag, current law allowed his property to be seized.
“The officers found no evidence that he was guilty of any crime before seizing his money,” the report said. “In the upside-down world of civil forfeiture, they did not have to.”
“Civil forfeiture threatens the constitutional rights of all Americans,” said Scott Bullock, a senior attorney at the Institute for Justice. “Using civil forfeiture, the government can take your home, business, cash, car or other property on the mere suspicion that it is somehow connected to criminal activity—and without ever convicting or even charging you with a crime.”
Angela Erickson, a senior research analyst at the Institute for Justice said civil forfeiture should be abolished.
“Civil forfeiture needs to be completely abolished,” Erickson said. “Short of that, the federal government should reform its laws by requiring a criminal conviction and eliminating the profit incentive that allows law enforcement to fill their coffers.”
