Garnering 3/4 of a million views in its first 2-weeks, the "Daniel in the Lions' Den" viral video phenomenon has been shown on Israeli TV and shared by viewers all around the world.
What motivates this brave 16-year old boy to singlehandedly stand against a mob of anti-Zionist protestors? What does he think about the Flotilla incident as a metaphor for the Palestinian-Israeli conflict that others would be interested in knowing?
Democracy Broadcasting News takes an in-depth look into what makes this young hero tick. In an exclusive video interview, Daniel Pereg reveals what was going through his mind as the confrontation unfolded, his spiritual make-up, and his perception of the motivations and issues of what he sees as the mis-guided antagonists to Israel and America.

Prosecution of Hamas-whistleblower coincides with Islamic D.H.S appointee-ship, Obama initiative to reverse jihadist Hamas' status on terror-list
Yousef left Hamas and spent 10 years working with Israeli intelligence, helping prevent several terrorist attacks. He has also abandoned Islam for the Christian faith, prompting his Muslim relatives to disown him.
"If I have to be somewhere else, I will keep fighting the God of Islam," Yousef said, "because he has taken my family from me." (by Art Moore in World Net Daily)
Israel National News: When he was arrested by Israeli security services for purchasing guns, he was exposed to Hamas brutalities in prison. His experiences disillusioned him. He ultimately left Islam in favor of Christianity, and began working against Hamas with Israeli agents.
In mid-June, one of Yousef's Israeli handlers – Gonen Ben-Yitzchak – broke his cover in order to testify on behalf of Yousef at an immigration hearing. Ben-Yitzchak had left the service four years earlier.
Yousef provided information which led to the prevention of the assassinations of President Shimon Peres and Sephardic leader Rabbi Ovadia Yosef. He also identified the bombers of the Hebrew University cafeteria in 2002. (IsraelNationalNews.com)
"No asylum for a hero?" by Richard Miniter in the N.Y. Post
"Yousef should be a textbook case for political asylum, but the Obama Department of Homeland Security sees it differently. Its briefs for his deportation allege that he provided "material support" for Hamas -- with his book as the main evidence against him.
Yet the DHS' briefs are laughably incomplete -- for example, citing his leading of five Jordanian suicide bombers to a safe house while leaving out the key fact that he was setting a trap for them.
While DHS lawyers insist that Yousef was a Hamas member, Hamas issued a statement: "Mosab was not an active member of Hamas or in any of its military, political or religious branches, or any other body."
Israeli intelligence agrees. In a sworn statement filed with a federal immigration court, Yousef's Shin Bet handler said: He "was never a member of any terror group."
What's going on? Yousef's attorney, Steven A. Seick, says that Kerri Calcador, the senior DHS attorney targeting Yousef, told him she'd never agree to asylum, and would appeal if the judge grants it. She said that she had "marching orders from DC," Seick told me.

Yet Yousef's problems with DHS began just weeks after Arif Alikhan was sworn in as a top official at DHS. Alikhan recently spoke at a fund-raiser for the Muslim Public Affairs Council, which terror analysts have linked to the Muslim Brotherhood -- which also fathered Hamas.
Wednesday's immigration-court hearing may not decide Yousef's fate: Lawmakers of both parties are working to save this hero.
Let's hope they succeed. Deporting Yousef is not just wrong, but foolish: It will discourage others from risking their lives to save innocents. Has the Obama administration no shame?"

U.S. Rabbi: Washington's betrayal pressure on Israel is provoking God's wrath against America
Orthodox Rabbi Moshe Parry of Hollywood, California declares that just as America's backed dispossessions of Jews from Gaza drew Hurricane Katrina's dispossessions of Americans in 2005, Washington's betrayal of Israel (through the United Nations) to Obama Admin's beloved Islamic oil cronies is drawing G-d's backlash by destroying America in its coveted, but useless, oil.
Orthodox Rabbi Moshe Parry asserts that Obama Admin's policy shift to abandon ally Israel (who routinely votes to support the US in the U.N.) against vexatious U.N. resolutions from Islamic countries - in order to pressure Israel to cede its trusteeship of His Promised Land to Islamic conquistadors (via making the land vulnerable to a Muslim invasion via ceding land for a hostile "state of Palestine") - directly correlates with the BP oil catastrophe along the U.S. Gulf Coast. He claims that this catastrophe parallels the US-endorsed, Israeli eviction of Jewish communities from Gaza exactly 5-summers ago - which resulted in God's foisting Hurricane Katrina to dispossess Americans from their communities in America's Gulf Coast. Rabbi Parry cautions Americans to challenge the Administration over its favor of Islamic oil influence above God's covenant with the Jews for guardianship over Israel. The Rabbi is concerned that Obama's backroom policies against Israel have changed America's favor under God from blessing to curse.
He likens Obama to Pharoah, whose water G-d smote as blood, and whose Red Sea was ultimately turned back against Pharoah's soldiers to drown in it.
Boston counter-Jihad crusader, Charles Jacobs, who criticized Mass Gov's accepting radical Imam's money to mollify cops, publicly condemned by 70 "progressive" area rabbis
The situation of Muslim American Society's (M.A.S.) Imam Abdullah Farooq's radicalizing Boston's moderate Muslims is lucidly depicted in this video documentary by Americans for Peace & Tolerance, who has been a leader in exposing the crisis. "On May 22nd, Massachusetts Governor Patrick embraced the radical leadership of the Muslim American Society (MAS), including Imam Abdullah Faarooq who told followers they must "pick up the gun and the sword" in response to the arrests of local Islamic extremist Aafia Siddiqui and terror suspect Tarek Mehanna."
Stella Paul in Stella Pundit: "On June 10, these seventy distinguished rabbis in Greater Boston publicly condemned and virtually excommunicated one of the finest American Jewish leaders and human rights activist alive today.
Why? Because Dr. Charles Jacobs has the chutzpah to present documented facts about the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center, Boston's increasingly infamous, radical-linked, Saudi-funded mega-mosque.
In a broadside entitled "An Open Letter to the Jewish Community," published in the Jewish Advocate, seventy rabbis signed their name to a letter demanding that "Mr. Jacobs discontinue his destructive campaign against Boston's Muslim community, which is based on innuendo, half-truths and unproven conspiracy theories. We call upon members of our community to reject the dangerous politics of division that Mr. Jacobs fosters." . . .
While you rabbis were playing patty-cake with Jew-hating imams, Charles Jacobs was investigating the facts about their disgusting affiliations and helping moderate Muslims stand up to the radical takeover of their institutions.
Please spare me your teary speeches about the Holocaust and your bus trips to the Holocaust Museum. To you, Never Again apparently means Never Again Will We Bother to Flick An Eyelash In the Annoyingly Icky Direction of Genocidal Threats.
And finally, here's something you may never understand: One Charles Jacobs is worth more than seventy of you. Why? Because he fights for the truth."

Rabbi Receives Death Threats Over His "Helen Thomas" Video
(Fox News Channel) The New York rabbi who videotaped veteran White House correspondent Helen Thomas telling Jews to "get the hell out of Palestine" says he has received numerous death threats and thousands of pieces of hate mail in the days since Thomas' abrupt retirement.

Rabbi David Nesenoff said he is facing an "overload" of threatening e-mails calling for a renewed Holocaust and targeting his family — a barrage of hate he said he planned to report to the police on Wednesday.
"This ticker tape keeps coming in," Nesenoff told FoxNews.com. "We got one specific one saying, 'We're going to kill the Jews; watch your back.'"
Nesenoff said he was shocked not only by Thomas' original remarks — which he called anti-Semitic — but by the wave of insults and threats he has received since his videotape brought about her public shaming and the end of her 50-year career at the White House.
"This is something that I thought was a couple of people here or there, [but] it's mainstream and it's frightening," the Long Island rabbi said. "[Thomas] is just a little cherry on top of this huge, huge sundae of hate in America."

A Daniel walks boldly through lions' den - pro-Palestine demonstrators to reveal fangs & actual intent: Jihad war to conquer Israel from Jewish rule
Palestinian peace-proponents seeking to embarrass Israel for having to shoot its way out of an Islamist lynch-mob ship on Sunday were showed-up by a single, brave Jew on Monday in Los Angeles. One courageous, Israeli-born, American high-school student stood-up for his right to publicly support Israel - and a rally of hundreds of Muslim and far-leftist, pro-Palestine demonstrators nearly turned-into the lynch-mob that they sought to downplay.
Outside of the Israeli Consulate to L.A. on Memorial Day, Daniel a Jewish high-school student defiantly waved the Israeli flag through a crowd of Israel-haters - to defend what he perceives as the Israeli Marines' justified handling of the Flotilla blockade when they came under attack.
The L.A.P.D. had to establish a human wall to intervene to protect Daniel (and afterwards, a couple of other Israel supporters) who stood-up in opposition to the mob mentality of the Gaza protestors, with their version of the facts of the case and rights of expression.
When a Muslim protestor cries, "Allahu akhbar" to incite the crowd against the Jewish boy - the opposition to Israel's politics become subordinated to the perception of "Holy War" as a driving force of the Muslim side of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
An American-born, young woman of Palestinian heritage rallying to "Free Palestine," reveals that it means more than just drawing-down Israel's presence in the West Bank. When she saw the Israeli-American demonstrator, she shrieked, "I'll kill him! You killed my family! Take that flag down! You killed my people!" In DemoCast's original video, she confesses that the objective of their movement is not for Palestinian autonomy to co-exist with Israel, but to destroy Israel and conquer it for Palestinians to rule.
Our story has been re-cast by Israel National News as "Lone Jewish High School Student Faces Down Arab Mob in LA" (omitting video credit and back-link to DemoCast or Joo-Tube):
A loud and angry mob of pro-Arab demonstrators outside the Israeli consulate in Los Angeles on Tuesday became even more enraged when one, lone Jewish high school student with a yarmulke and a large Israeli flag marched fearlessly alongside them.
The young man seemed to be unmoved by the angry curses hurled at him by the American-Arab crowd. Though protected by a line of policemen, it appeared he could be attacked at any moment.
Reporters asked him afterwards about his unusual presence, and he explained, “I came out because I want to defend Israel… They [the soldiers attempting to divert the flotilla ships - ed.] were attacked, and they had the right to defend [themselves]. These people [on the boats] were not humanitarians; their ship was armed with knives, batons, and all kinds of things to attack the Israelis with. There is a naval blockade on Gaza, and they [the soldiers] were just doing their job of enforcing it… Hamas is a terrorist organization trying to kill Israelis.”
Asked if he is affiliated with any group, he said, “Just Judaism and Israel, that’s it.”
Asked how he knows that the ship was filled with arms, he said, “I know from the news; I’m an informed person.”
This contrasted with the Arab-Americans who appear at the end of the video. One girl said that a Palestinian state alongside Israel would not satisfy her, as “there should not be an Israeli state! The Israeli state does not even exist!”
Another Arab-speaking American explained, “The only reason Israel is doing this is because they got kicked out from, uh, the German whatever, whatever happened to them. So they’re trying to take out their anger on someone else.” Asked about the Bible and the Jewish presence in the Land of Israel since the times of King Solomon, he lowered his voice and said, “I don’t know about that.”
