    More than four times as many people believe Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is fit to be prime minister
    then former prime minister Ehud Barak, according to a Midgam poll broadcast on Channel 2 Saturday night.

    The poll of 508 respondents representing a statistical sample of the adult Israeli population was taken
    Thursday, after Channel 2 aired a portion of an interview with Barak in which he hinted at a comeback
    and claimed he was more ready and qualified to lead Israel than all other candidates around, including
    Netanyahu.

    A professor known for writing anti Israel posts launched a new children alphabet book titled P is for
    Palestine which makes no mention of Israel.

    The book goes through the entire alphabet, associating each letter with Palestinian culture. A, for
    example, is for Arabic, while I is for Intifada, Arabic for rising up for what is right, if you are a kid
    or grownup.

    SAUDI ARABIA
    SAUDI ARABIA GATHERS ALLIES AGAINST IRAN TERROR, BUT LEBANON,
    IRAQ AND
    SYRIA DO NOT SHOW

    Led by an increasingly militant Saudi Arabia, most of the Arab League condemned actions taken in the
    region by Iran and its Lebanese ally, Hezbollah, but the three countries most affected by the war against
    the Islamic State militant group (ISIS) did not sign on.

    During an emergency session of the 22 member Arab League in Cairo on Sunday, the attending regional
    foreign ministers declared the Shiite Muslim political party and militant group Hezbollah is a terrorist
    organization and censured Iran for its alleged backing of the Yemeni Zaidi Shiite Muslim Houthi
    movement, which fired a rocket at the Saudi capital of Riyadh earlier this month. Saudi Arabia has
    rallied its allies, including Bahrain, to isolate Iran diplomatically, but Tehrans role in fighting ISIS
    and its rapidly expanding sphere of influence has gained its allies, especially in Lebanon, Iraq, and Syria.

    A NEW USE for COFFEE in LONDON
    Wake Up and Smell the Traffic? London tries Coffee to Power Buses

    It was part of the imagery of much earlier times: a red double decker bus nudging through London
    streets shrouded in smog created in part by its own exhaust fumes.

    On Monday, though, the citys 9,500 buses, still mostly painted red, laid claim to a fresher narrative.

    While the worst smogs have long dispersed, London still chokes on high levels of pollution. Seeking
    to curb toxic diesel fumes, transportation officials and companies are hunting for new sources of
    energy for the buses.

    The latest idea? Coffee grounds.

    U.S. MILITARY NEXT PROJECT
    The U.S. Military Is Building a Fleet of Star Trek Inspired Shadow Bombers Invisible to Radar

    11 20 Stealth Bomber

    The Pentagon is developing a new fleet of shadow bombers that possibly disappear on the radar like
    those featured in Star Trek movies.

    The unit of B21 stealth bombers, a futuristic combat aircraft, are being created at a secret desert plant
    in Palmdale, California after the company Northrop Grumman won the contract for their development
    two years ago, The Times reported.
