Let me say from the beginning that I don’t hate anyone as a general rule. I look for and desire to see the good in every human being as I believe everyone else should do as well. If someone has been influenced by an evil mindset in ideology, then my first reaction is not to commence hating that person but rather to make an attempt to shake that person out of that destructive mindset by using logic and reason, along with a persuasive passion for what is spiritually right and true.However, because this is not always possible regardless of the amount of truth that is placed before certain individuals, and because there are those who will always love the evil inwardly more than righteousness, I believe that there can is righteous-based hatred regarding some humans. I don’t believe in living a life for the sole purpose of hating for any cause as do certain political, religious, and non-religious hate groups. But there are things in this life (including evil devoted people) of whom it's righteous to hate.
God judges hatred along with all motivations of the human heart by His law and not by man’s westernized liberal conceptions. There is a big difference between hating your personal enemy on a personal level for personal reasons, and hating an enemy of God on a spiritual level for spiritual reasons. Examine what the scripture states:
"Do not I hate them, O YHVH, that hate thee? And am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? I hate them with perfect hatred: They are become mine enemies. Search me, O God, and know my heart: Try me, and know my thoughts; And see if there be any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting." - Psalms 139:21-24. (also see II Chronicles 19:2)
In this segment from the book of Psalms, the psalmist was searching his heart before God in which he was making sure that his godly resistance towards his enemies - in the form of righteous hatred - was in check. In this passage Israel’s enemies are the ones who hates God. For the psalmist, his thought was that if he did not have a "perfect" hatred towards God’s enemies, then his thoughts of not hating God's enemy would be of a wicked way within his heart. From my point of view, the politically-correct secular world could learn volumes from the simple declaration that this psalmist proclaimed and of which the first and second Jewish Temple singers sang the psalm:1
“Do not I hate them, O YHVH that hate thee?” and "I hate them (God's enemies) with a perfect hatred"
.
I have heard people say that they may hate the things evil people do but not the person themselves. I agree with that concept in general but not as an overall concept. An individual can sink so much into evil that they become “as one” with their wickedness. There is a place in the realms of evil where a person has sold out "soul" lock, stock and barrel in effect crossing the point of no return where their whole lives can only be devoted as an enemy against God. Such was the case with Pharaoh during the time of the Exodus whose heart become more hardened after each manifestation of the ten plagues of Egypt.
To bring this reality into modern times, I do not and cannot love any part of Adolph Hitler including his very soul. I not only hate the things that he did on earth but I also hate him spiritually as God's enemy as well. How about you? Are you a hater of Hitler's very soul?
Fact: There is no separation between Hitler's soul and his Holocaust deeds that he did on earth both now and forever.
Hitler made a choice to become the image of evil rather than expressing the image of God he was made in. I don’t believe God loves him but rather hates him insomuch that Hitler’s soul (and not just the things he did) is in a place of the eternally damned where he will be forever separated from the God of mercy, justice, and righteousness. So in trying to be like minded with God’s thinking towards Hitler, I hate the expressed devil that Hitler was and forever shall be known. I not only believe that it's a righteous act to hate Hitler, but in fact it would be evil of me or anyone else not to do so as the above Psalm of David plainly points out. Furthermore, the so-called do-gooders who actually love Hitler are the ones most likely to support him and his deeds.
.
Hitler is not the only ambassador of evil to walk around in human form. I feel the same way with the likes of other such devils as Yassier Arafat, Louis Farrakhan, David Duke, and now Jimmy Carter who has devoted the rest of his evil life to the cause of Israel's murderous enemy. These men are not simply misguided fools that are followers of evil (a place where true repentance and the turning away from evil are still available to such a person) but they are in fact actual leaders and forgoers of evil for the sole purpose of leading others in their evil!
Since false prophets don’t repent, (no false prophet in the Bible ever did) I have no desire to pray for these men and others like them for a change of their evil ways. Rather, I choose to pray according to God’s promise to them which is for their destruction as God sees fit according to their relentless evil and unrepentant deeds upon this earth.
"And He repays those who hate Him to their face, to destroy them. He will not be slow to repay him who hates Him. He will repay him to his face." - Deuteronomy 7:10 (See also Isaiah 59:18).
Therefore, my Bible-guided prayer is, "May YHVH according to His holy and righteous Torah promise, repay the Arab-Palestinians to their face, along with and all who support them in their terrorist-expressed hatred acts against YHVH's chosen people."
The Palestinians:
There isn't a greater enemy towards the nation of Israel in all the world today than the Palestinians! The Palestinians have taken the title from the German Nazis as "the greatest threat" to the Jewish nation. Mein Kamph gave way to Jihadi - both meaning "my struggles" in both German and Arabic. When Hitler's struggles expired the Islamic struggles picked up the banner. What now is at stake in the conflict between the Jews and the Palestinians that wasn't at stake during Hitler's Final Solution is the possibility of the most evil people in all the earth, worshiping the most evil god (their god Allah), in the most holiest place (Jerusalem and the Temple Mount) in all the world!
The rebirth of Israel as a nation has given rise to Allah (an Arabian deity) wanting to be worshiped by his subjects at the very place designed for the God of Israel to be worshiped (see Psalms 132:13,14). Just the possibility of this scenario alone should show the secularists that there is a God of Israel that holds an everlasting covenant with the Jewish people (see Psalms 105:8-10). For it is impossible to ask for better stage to be set from what we see in the Middle East today to begin an all out "end of the age" showdown between good and evil.
.
There has never been of people in modern times besides the Palestinians whose paradigm is terrorism and whose ultimate goal as a people in the world is towards the annihilation of another people based upon their religion and spirituality. What makes this fact all the more significant is that the Palestinians are given the world's support (7.4 billion dollars worth of support recently > http://www.jewishworldreview.com/1207/west.php3) in their terrorist endeavors and annihilation aspirations, and this was after the Palestinians as a people overwhelmingly voted in the party of Hamas to run their government in January 2006!

World actions of this nature adds a greater significance to the end-time war between good and evil (Ezekiel 38:16-23). Besides the 7.4 billion pledged the to Palestinians, billions of dollars more are added in the form of state of the art weaponry being sold to the enemies of Israel >http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/meast/07/28/saudi.arms/.
Along with the billions of dollars that the UN is pledging to the Palestinians, the world's plan for tiny Israel becomes very clear! If the nations hadn't taken upon themselves to support Israel's greatest enemies there would not have been a need for Zechariah 12:9 to have been written: "And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem."
.
To try and understand the depth of the very evil that lies within the Palestinian society, one must look at what they as a society are capable of. The following is a very small and incomplete list as to the kind of things that comes forth from out of the Palestinian people. While viewing this list ask yourself, "Why are the world nations (especially the United States lead by a conservative president) are so desperately seeking to grant these Palestinians (of all people) any kind of a political state?"
Remember, O YHVH , the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof. O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.
The psalmist is not promoting that idea of killing innocent children for the sake of killing children. That would be what the enemies of the Bible and Israel would have you believe! This is the same mindset that the "Human Rights Watch" tried to sell the world (which the world willfully bought) when they accused Israel of killing 54 children in Qana, Lebanon during the 2006 Lebanon-Israeli War. Because of their spiritual state they didn't have the ability nor the will to considered the 4,000 rockets that was shot from civilian locations into Israel to start the war by which was indeed meant to kill as many Israeli citizens including children as possible!
When given over to dark forces the human mind can no longer judge between good and evil. This scripture in the book of Psalms is about God's judgment (of what He will allow to occur) in the form of reaping and sowing. Babylon had "dashed" Jewish babies against stones in their invasion against the Jewish people much like the Palestinians shoot rockets targeting Jewish school children. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6977346.stm The scripture of Psalms 137:7-9 is stating that what the Babylonians did against the Jews would divinely return back to them in the form of the coming Persian Empire. In fact, one could argue that Babylon is still reaping from their deeds of old in today's Iraq!
Likewise, the prophet Ezekiel has declared that Israel's enemies would reap what they have sown at the End of Days (Ezekiel. 35: 5-11). Keep in mind that Psalm 137 is one of the most Zionistic portions of scripture in the entire Bible. In it we find the great love for God's chosen people - the Jews, and for Zion - God's chosen place of worship. But also we find in it a bitter hatred for all those who hate and try to kill God's chosen and possess Zion for their own - kind of like what the Palestinians do.
So why do I hate the Palestinians? Simply put; because God does! Not that every single Palestinian is hated by God, for I know that God loves Palestinians such as Walid Shoebat - a Palestinian who has a deep devoted love for Israel and Israel's covenant with YHVH. But according to the Hebrew scriptures God hates all those who hate His covenant with Israel, which puts the Arab-Palestinians as a people first in line to be hated by God!

- Among the two great political parties that rule the Palestinians (Al-Fatah in the West Bank, and Hamas in the Gaza Strip) both covenants from both parties call for for an arms struggle and the destruction of the Jewish State of Israel. http://www.iris.org.il/plochart.htm http://www.palestinecenter.org/cpap/documents/charter.html
- The greatest forms of child abuse in all the world occur among the Palestinians. Children who are barely old enough to speak are taught to Jew-hate with words they don't even understand. http://www.youtube.com/watchv=ZL0C2QvqIlo This gives heed to the saying, "they drink the hatred with their mother's milk"! Just the picture alone (at the top of the article) speaks volumes of the Palestinian society.
- Children TV shows are shown in the name of Shahid (martyrdom). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gi-c6lbFGC4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4zgURMOZ6k
- Shahid (martyrdom) for children is glorified of official PA and Hamas television. http://www.pmw.org.il/ASK%20FOR%20DEATH.htm
- An exhibition of glorifying and celebrating suicide / mass murder is displayed with Palestinian gleeful acceptance at Al Najah University in the West Bank town of Nablus in September, 2001. http://www.gamla.org.il/english/feature/sbarro.htm This exhibition included many displays of body parts one of which was a bloody set of blue-jean wearing legs with no torso connected, still sitting on a chair. The bombing of Sbarro pizza restaurant in Jerusalem in which the exhibition re-enacts hits a little close to home. My wife and I personally eat there three years before this massacre occurred.

- Women who sends their sons to Jew-murder are given high status in Palestinian society, even to run for a government office. http://www.amitiesquebec-israel.org/texts/mother.htm
- Suicide murderers are glorified all through Palestinian controlled areas, in the form of billboards, street names, names of soccer fields, trading cards, names of hospitals, new babies named after suicide bombers, and children's events, songs, chants, and poems during parades, ect. http://programs.ssrc.org/gsc/gsc_quarterly/newsletter5/content/allen/ http://www.zoa.org/2003/07/palestinian_aut_13.htm Even "Saddam Hussein" whose Scud missiles hitting Tel-Aviv civilian areas brought Palestinian cheers, is honored in the Palestinian city of Jenin> http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=53882
- Suicide for the murder of Jews is an accepted norm and is a high form of religious devotion. Outside of martyrdom, there is no guarantee of reaching paradise for oneself and family members. This is one of the reasons candy is passed out in celebration at suicide / murderer's funeral. http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/013234.php
- One Hundred Thousand citizens of the would-be future State of Palestine attended the funeral of Yahya Ayyash (a.k.a. "the Engineer") not to mention the many funerals of other Palestinian terrorist and terrorist spiritual teachers like Sheikh Ahmed Yassin! I wonder how many of these one hundred thousand funeral attendees of Yahya Ayyash would consider themselves Palestinian moderates? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahya_Ayyash Moreover, this Palestinian hero has traffic squares named after him in both Jenin and Jericho with no Palestinian complaints. Imagine that! This issue of glorifying and mass murderer among the Palestinians even became part of "peace" negotiation with such a people. See "article 6" section "h" > http://www.israelmfa.gov.il/MFA/Peace+Process/Guide+to+the+Peace+Process/Israeli+View+on+Palestinian+Security+Commitments.htm?DisplayMode=print
- Palestinians seek to destroy the God of Israel through a revised history of Holocaust and Temple denial, and stand as a barricade between God and His fulfillment of the covenant He has with His chosen people, the Jews. http://www.spme.net/cgi-bin/facultyforum.cgi?ID=1735
Muslim religious fervor has many different facets of Jew-murdering expressions that are fully exposed in the Palestinian society. From passing out candy at shahid funerals to eating flesh and drinking blood of Jewish victims as they did on October 12, 2000 in Ramallah> http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/014886.php Yet, the Muslim world has the audacity to vilify Israel as the blood-libel people and state. It is these Palestinians who are on the front lines (even occupying a huge portion of the ancient land of Israel) in the Islamic war against the God of Israel!
The 64,000 dollar question: Does the God of Israel "hate" the Palestinians?
The politically-correct answer would be, "God loves everybody". However, the Bible is never politically correct. The Bible states very clearly that God hated Esau, who like the Palestinians wished to destroy Jacob / Israel.
"I have loved you, saith YHVH. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? saith YHVH: yet I loved Jacob, And I hated (Hebrew: sanay-ti) Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness. Malachi 1:2,3
The New Testament correctly applies this scripture of God's hatred of an individual as also to the nation that proceeded from that individual (see Romans 9:12,13). The land that should be considered for a Palestinian state is all contained in the ancient writings of which the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is all about -the Bible. Aside from Mecca, the Palestinian spiritual base is that of Esau's - Mt. Seir in Jordan, which is why the prophecies of Ezekiel against Israel's most vicious enemy is not against the West Bank, for that is Israel's land and not the Palestinians! http://www.danielpipes.org/article/298
Take another look at the list above as to what the Palestinians are capable of and then see if you notice any similarities in the following scripture: "Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an end...Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; [sound familiar? > http://inbrief.threatswatch.org/2006/02/palestine-from-the-river-to-th/ ] whereas YHVH was there: Therefore, as I live saith YHVH God, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make Myself known among them, when I have judged thee. - Ezekiel 35:5, 10-111
One of the hardest scriptures for most people to understand and one that I personally had an atheist use in trying to discredit the Bible, is Psalms 137:7-9 which reads:Remember, O YHVH , the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof. O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.
The psalmist is not promoting that idea of killing innocent children for the sake of killing children. That would be what the enemies of the Bible and Israel would have you believe!

As God commanded Israel to hate Amalek that his name be blotted out from under heaven for his deeds in using cowardly acts against Israel in possessing her land of inheritance (Deuteronomy 25:17-19) the modern Amaleks of today should be hated for their cowardly terrorist attacks on Jewish civilians who claim their land of inheritance as well. May Arafat's name and the names of those who support his goal be blotted out from under heaven! Amen? Amen!

"A number of pro-Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) groups joined forces for a “JLo Don’t Go” campaign. The effort included a petition asking Lopez to “open [her] heart to Palestinian children and cancel” her show in Tel Aviv.
“Code Pink,” a self-described “social justice movement” launched a petition that pointed to JLo’s past humanitarian initiatives with Amnesty International and her eponymous Lopez Foundation, which seeks to provide women and children with improved access to medical care.
“If you follow through with your August 2019 performance in Tel Aviv, you will be giving Israel a green light to continue human rights violations against Palestinians, including imprisoning and killing children, denying families sufficient clean water and medical treatment,” the group wrote.
While JLo herself did not respond, her fianceé and former baseball All-Star Alex Rodriguez voiced his excitement over his visit to Israel.
“I’m going to Israel, so I am so excited, it’s my first time,” the former New York Yankee said in an interview last month with the New York Post.
JLo’s Israeli fans seems to be just as excited.
“I waited so long and so long for this moment that she would come to the Land of Israel!” one fan posted on Facebook. “Soon!” and “I can’t wait!” were common posts about the upcoming event. “My dream!! Jennifer goddess of my youth,” wrote one excited fan.
Excitement has surrounded Lopez ever since she starred in the 1997 film Selena, a biopic about the iconic Latina singer Selena Quintanilla-Pérez who died in 1995. JLo received a Golden Globe nomination for her portrayal and became the first Latina actress to earn $1 million for a film. She went on to become the highest-paid Latina actress in Hollywood before launching her music career in 1999 with her debut album, On the 6. With her second album, J.Lo, and a star turn in The Wedding Planner, she became a household name around the world.
Lopez was the first Latin woman to win a Grammy Lifetime Achievement. In 2018 she appeared on Time magazine’s list of the world’s 100 most influential people. It’s been a long journey for Jenny from the block, and now it’s headed for Tel Aviv." We all wish
Jennifer Lopez & Alex Rodriguez a Happy Safe & Fun Trip to Israel

The United Nations is investing in Israeli innovative products and services more than ever before, a press release on behalf of the Israeli mission to the UN said on Friday.
Billions of dollars are spent to maintain the various agencies, organizations and services the UN needs to run. In 2018, Israeli companies were chosen by the UN for contracts worth $66 million, more than the $51m. in 2017 and $48m. in 2016. The steady increase is due not only to the efforts of the Israeli mission to the UN, but also to the high quality of Israeli innovation.

"Muslim stands up for Israel at UN Human Rights Council"
“This council has repeatedly demonized Israel while ignoring Palestinian terror attacks and the real victims of human rights abuses across the globe,” Hafeez said.

Kasim Hafeez, a British Muslim and former Islamist who is now a proud Zionist who stands with Israel, spoke out at the United Nations Human Rights Council against their condemnation of Israel’s actions in Gaza.
“As this body recently displayed by brazenly lying about Israel’s actions in Gaza, hatred towards the Jewish state persists,” Hafeez said. “This council has repeatedly demonized Israel while ignoring Palestinian terror attacks and the real victims of human rights abuses across the globe.”

Referring to his own background, Hafeez mentioned that hatred was so ingrained in his identity “that in my early 20s I decided that terrorism, murdering civilians who did not see the world as I did in order to advance my agenda, was my calling.”
A trip to Israel gave Hafeez a new perspective and showed him “that the media reports and international condemnations of the Jewish state were lies. Israel is a free and democratic state.”
Last week, Hafeez took part in the #DigiTell, a gathering of 100 pro-Israel bloggers and social network managers from all over the world.
Hafeez grew up being exposed to radical anti-Western, antisemitic and anti-Israel ideas on what he describes as a daily basis. During his teenage years, Hafeez embraced a radical Islamist ideology and became very active in the anti-Israel movement.
But in the early 2000s, he came across Alan Dershowitz’s book, The Case for Israel.
Most Recent Videos from the Jerusalem Post
“I was so convinced that I was right, I bought the book and read it to essentially read the ‘Zionist lies' for myself,’” he told The Jerusalem Post. “I was presented with ideas and arguments I had never come across in all my years of being anti-Israel. While I did dismiss them all as lies, I did however want to reassure myself that I was right.”
So, he read a few more books.
“I began to see a lack of factual argument on the anti-Israel side, a lot of rhetoric and emotion but little fact,” he said.
Hafeez began a period of “research” that lasted almost two years and culminated in his being torn: on the one hand he couldn’t accept that his hatred of Jews and Israel was wrong, but on the other hand, nothing was validating it. In 2007, he traveled to Israel for the first time, “hoping to have the nightmare scenario and see apartheid and racism to reaffirm my hatred.”
“Seeing the reality, meeting the people, talking to Arabs and Jews, I realized that I was wrong and, ultimately, fell in love with Israel,” he said. “When I got back to the UK, I felt obligated to just tell the truth. How many minds had I poisoned with lies I believed while never having set foot in Israel?”
As Hafeez began to speak out, he no longer felt safe in the UK"
the article continues
"To live constantly looking over your shoulder is no way to live,” he said. “But ultimately... you can’t allow bullying and intimidation to scare you into submission. I’ve dealt with threats and hostile campuses, and it won’t stop me from speaking the truth. In fact, that climate makes it even more essential to speak the truth.”
Today, Hafeez works for Christians United for Israel (CUFI) and said that the organization has a digital reach of millions, which it uses to mobilize individuals to action for Israel.
The ministry’s Daniel said the two-day seminar, which ran from March 12 and 13, was meant to engage people like Hafeez with others in the same space and provide them with new tools and best practices for telling their stories on social media. Around 100 participants came from 17 countries, with a heavy focus on participants from Europe, he said.
Each of the participants is independent and receives no ministry funding. Rather, it is more like a support group.
“They receive a lot of hate for what they do [for Israel],” said Daniel, noting that the #DigiTell concept was founded one year ago this March for that reason. “We would like to empower them in the way that we can.”
Jackie Goodall, the founder of the Ireland Israel Alliance, seconded Daniel’s sentiments. She said people in the pro-Israel social media space have been labeled "hasbara trolls," a nasty term that those who are anti-Israel use to try to shame and intimidate.
“They are trying to say that we are some kind of undercover operation, that it is not legitimate to so support the State of Israel,” she continued. “These people make us out to be Nazis, when all we are doing is standing up for the State of Israel and trying to combat BDS (the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement).”
Goodall came to Israel for the first time in 2003, and said she, like Hafeez, was “very surprised to find a modern, vibrant, democratic country that is very diverse in terms of its ethnic population: Jews, Arabs, working together.”
Then, she learned about the BDS movement and became aware of the hatred being spewed against Israel by various individuals and organizations on the web.
“I thought, ‘This is not true, this is not the Israel I know and love,’” said Goodall. “So, I decided to do something about it.”
She recently launched her organization, which reaches around 200,000 people per month in Ireland. The organization is looking to expand its YouTube, Facebook and Instagram presence to reach even more individuals.
Goodall said Ireland is perceived as one of the most hostile countries in Europe toward Israel. The Irish parliament is working to pass a law criminalizing commercial activity by Irish citizens within areas of Israel over the pre-1967 lines.
“We believe this legislation is immoral, discriminatory and illegal,” Goodall said, explaining that Ireland cannot act alone on this matter because it is part of the EU’s single market, and as a result it must abide by its policies.
The European Union has labeled but not banned Israeli products produced over the pre-1967 lines. Passage of the bill would put Ireland in breach of EU law and would open it up to legal action from the EU, including monetary fines that could cost Ireland millions of Euros.
In protest of the legislation, the Ireland Israel Alliance gathered 100 pro-Israel activists in Dublin for a rally in February. The group erected a stand to sell chocolate, wine and other products made in the West Bank. They took pictures of those who purchased items holdings signs that read, “We are Irish citizens, and we also buy products from Judea and Samaria.”
and lastly says
"“We stood there for two hours and no one had a negative comment,” Goodall said. “Many people did not even know about the anti-Israel legislation.”
She told the Post that she believes Ireland’s BDS community is small, but loud, active and organized, which gives the impression that most people in Ireland hate Israel and are against it. She said she hopes her group will help combat that perception.
Hafeez said he believes the struggle for Israel is “one of the most important struggles of our time.”
He said that with the rise of antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiment, it’s easy to become fixated on the negative. That the #DigiTell network exists is a testament to the diverse group of individuals working toward a shared objective.
“Israel is not just a Jewish cause; it is a cause for anyone who values truth, freedom and human rights,” Hafeez said. “If those values mean anything to you, then you cannot be silent.”

From the Wikipedia entry
"3D test of antisemitism"
the entry states
"The "three Ds" test or the 3D test of antisemitism is a set of criteria put forth by Israeli politician Natan Sharansky[1] to distinguish legitimate criticism of Israel from antisemitism. The three Ds stand for delegitimization of Israel, demonization of Israel, and subjecting Israel to double standards, each of which, according to the test, indicates antisemitism.[2][3] It was published in the Jewish Political Studies Review in 2004.[4] The test is intended to draw the line between legitimate criticism towards the State of Israel, its actions and policies, and non-legitimate criticism that becomes antisemitic.[5]
The 3D test of antisemitism intends to rebut arguments which say that "any criticism toward the State of Israel is considered antisemitic, and therefore legitimate criticism is silenced and ignored".[6] This test was adopted by the U.S. Department of State in 2010,[2] and replaced by the Working Definition of Antisemitism in 2017.[7]
The theory can be applied to many different situations, especially non-classical antisemitism, i.e., antisemitism that is more subtle and harder to recognize. This non-classical antisemitism takes the form of attacking Israel, the Jewish state. As Sharansky explains, "hiding behind the veneer of 'legitimate criticism of Israel', this new antisemitism is much more difficult to expose".
Professor Irwin Cotler has said that "we've got to set up certain boundaries of where [criticism of Israel] does cross the line, because I’m one of those who believes strongly, not only in free speech, but also in rigorous debate, and discussion, and dialectic, and the like. If you say too easily that everything is anti-Semitic, then nothing is anti-Semitic, and we no longer can make distinctions."[8]
A person can analyze a news story, op-ed, interview or even a protest and see if the criticism being made in it crosses the border of at least one of the following "D"s:"
The entry continues
"Delegitimization
Further information: Zionist entity, Zionist Occupation Government, and Right to exist
The term "delegitimization of Israel" refers to the denial of the Jewish people's right to self-determination, for example, by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.[9] This claim discriminates against Jews by singling them out as ineligible for the basic right for self-determination as it was determined by the international law. Since any discrimination against a specific ethnic, religious, racial or national group is considered a type of racism, delegitimization of the Jewish people right for self-determination is labeled as racism against Jews, i.e., antisemitism.
Former Deputy Prime Minister of Sweden, Per Ahlmark, an advocate in the combating of antisemitism, wrote: "compared to most previous anti-Jewish outbreaks, this new anti-Semitism is often less directed against individual Jews. It attacks primarily the collective Jews, the state of Israel and then such attacks start a chain reaction of assaults on individual Jews and Jewish institutions. [...] in the past the most dangerous anti-Semites were those who wanted to make the world judenrein, free of Jews. Today, the most dangerous anti-Semites might be those who want to make the world Judenstaatrein, free of a Jewish state."[10] Prof. Irwin Cotler has defined Delegitimization as one of the nine sets of what he calls "new antisemitism". Cotler uses the term political anti-Semitism to describe the denial of the Jewish people's right to self-determination and the de-legitimization of Israel as a state.[11]
Demonization
Further information: Little Satan and Jewish deicide
The second "D" refers to the portrayal of certain groups as evil, demonic, or satanic. The Working Definition of Antisemitism says that antisemitism "frequently charges Jews with conspiring to harm humanity, and it is often used to blame Jews for 'why things go wrong'. It is expressed in speech, writing, visual forms and actions, and employs sinister stereotypes and negative character traits".[9] If the criticism uses metaphors, images or rhetoric that implies that the Israelis or Jews are evil, it is once again a projection of antisemitic blood libels and rhetoric. One example of it might be making mendacious, dehumanization, demonization, or stereotypical allegations about Jews as such or the power of Jews as collective—such as, especially but not exclusively, the myth about the world Jewish conspiracy or of Jews controlling the media, economy, government or other societal institutions.[9][10]"
The entry continues
"Double standards
Further information: Criticism of Israel and Anti-Israeli sentiment
The last "D" refers to the application of different sets of principles on similar situations. If a person criticizes Israel and only Israel on certain issues, but chooses to ignore similar situations conducted by other countries they are performing a double standard policy against Israel.[9] One example is the tendency among media and policy-makers to treat the migration of civilian settlers from Israel into occupied Palestinian territories differently from settlers from Morocco in occupied Western Sahara, or settlers from Turkey in Northern Cyprus.[12] The settler population in these latter two is now believed to outnumber the native population, while the settler population in the West Bank make up around one-fifth of the resident population. The Fourth Geneva Convention states that an occupying power may not transplant its own civilians onto land that it occupies.
The implementation of a different moral standard for Jews and Israel compared to the rest of the world, just like the Delegitimization claim, discriminates against a specific group and is labeled as antisemitism. Similar arguments were made by Thomas Friedman, claiming that Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movements that ignore the situation in Syria, Saudi Arabia, and Iran are hypocritical and antisemitic.[13] On the same matter, Friedman has also written that the "criticizing Israel is not anti-Semitic, and saying so is vile. But singling out Israel for opprobrium and international sanction—out of all proportion to any other party in the Middle East—is anti-Semitic, and not saying so is dishonest".[11] Prof. Irwin Cotler has also included double standards as one of the nine sets of what he calls "new anti-Semitism". Cotler offers the denial to Israel of equality before the law in the international arena (i.e., "the singling out of Israel for differential and discriminatory treatment in the international arena") as a new antisemitic act.[11]
Example of application
Abraham Foxman gives the following example. During the Second Intifada, a cartoon of an Israeli soldier pointing a rifle at a Palestinian baby was published. This kind of scene is a disturbing political exaggeration, but not anti-Semitism. However, the baby was a typical depiction of the baby Jesus, who was telling to the soldier (in the caption), "Oh, you’re doing it to me all over again." Therefore, this is an example of the second "D", demonization via the antisemitic canard of Jewish deicide.[14]" Many Many Nations Worldwide besides Israel are terrified of the Global Threat of Arab & Islamic Terrorism, Many Many Nations have Security Walls, Fences, Checkpoints, for Security Reasons, why are those Nations Not Condemned for their Security Measures ?
An online Quote by a Person in 2018 stated
"Many Arab nations are not even making a serious effort to advance the Palestinian Arab agenda anymore. They are fed up with the Palestinians stupidity and corruption and missed opportunities. I don’t know any intelligent person who thinks the Palestinians are capable of managing a state even if one was handed to them."
Another Person typed Online in 2014
"The “Palestinian” people are actually a terrorist creation. They have no desire or intention of peace. Not with Israel nor with anyone else.
Because of the rapid volume of illegals pouring into transjordan/palestine the British divide Israel into two and called thesecond part Jordan – which was given to these invaders from Egypt and Saudi Arabia in hope that it would avert further conflicts. So they had plenty of land. Even twice more land than Israel itself. But they never wanted land. They had their own homeland to return to (and still hold passports from them). They wanted JIHAD. They are there for terrorism and nothing else."
A woman typed online in 2015 about the Mideast Conflict that
"Palestinian people are as fake as the royhinga muslims, who are from Bangladesh doing their evil islamic migration jihad on the buddhists in burma etc. Palestinians are from egypt, iraq, saudi arabia, syria, turkey, pakistan, iran, etc etc etc. They are not indigenous to this area. They are simply muslims who believe that this world belongs to them only. They are the true colonial, imperialist, fascist and racist people. The rest of us kaffirs and apostates, are simply responding in kind their their crimes against us for over a millennia."

"Topher Grace digs into the pure evil of David Duke in Spike Lee’s ‘BlackKklansman’" about the 2018 Spike Lee Film "BlackKklansman"
By Ed Symkus Posted Aug 1, 2018 at 10:28 AM
the article says
"Though he’s played his share of good guys — Eric on “That ’70s Show” — and bad guys — Venom in “Spider-Man 3″ — and even had a crack at doing self-deprecating parodies of himself (“Ocean’s Eleven” and “Twelve”) — Topher Grace found he was dealing with a whole new animal when he took on the role of David Duke, the former Grand Wizard of the Louisiana chapter of the Ku Klux Klan in Spike Lee’s new film “BlackKklansman.” When Grace first heard that Lee was making a film based on the true story of Ron Stallworth, a black police officer who, in the 1970s, infiltrated and exposed the Klan by “passing for white” during a series of phone conversations, he got his hands on the script, and immediately knew that he wanted to play Duke, a man he considers not just villainous but also evil.
The genial Grace, 40, who admits that he relishes challenges, first had to get past the vitriolic, no holds barred hate speeches he’d have to deliver in the film, which he made it through under the comforting guidance of Lee. Then he could explore and get to the dark heart of Duke. Grace spoke about the film by phone from New York.
Q: Did you know much about Duke before this?
A: I was aware of who he was in a general way. Then there was that moment where Spike Lee calls you personally to say you’ve got the film, and I was so thrilled. It was the happiest day of my life, followed by the worst month of my life when I did my research. I read “My Awakening,” which is Duke’s autobiography and kind of a thinly veiled “Mein Kampf.” I read books about him, I watched interviews with him. I watched the Phil Donohue shows that he was on in the early 80s, which taught me a lot about his mannerisms. I listened to his radio show. You can’t help but get so depressed listening to something so overwhelmingly negative."
The article continues
"Q: You’ve certainly played villains before. Besides Venom, there was the doctor in “Predators,” and you started out in film as a drug dealer in “Traffic.” But Duke is on a different level because he’s real and he puts up a front that hides the snake inside. What was the challenge to doing this role?
A: The first half of the movie deals more with the idea of what racists were in the early-70s, which is kind of beer-bellied rednecks or whatever the general idea of a racist was. But what happens in the second half of the film is kind of what happened to America in the sense that David Duke has a new approach: He only wears three-piece suits and he’s well educated. The thing I hated about all the research is it became so obvious how intelligent he was, which makes him more evil than the average bad guy. They said that when you’re playing the role of a villain, you have to find the way that he’s a good guy to himself, but I couldn’t do it. I just played pure evil.
Q: Spike is known as a guy who really knows what he even wants before the camera rolls. Was there much room for Topher Grace to make suggestions on how to play David Duke?
A: Oh, Spike is so open! John David Washington (who plays Ron Stallworth) and I did most of our rehearsals together. That was great, but they’re all phone calls, and we can’t see each other on the phone. When we were filming, Spike set up the two offices right next to each other on the soundstage, so we were actually on the phone with each other while the cameras were on us. Those conversations are essentially live."
The article lastly says
"Q: Did you ever hear from Duke or his people?
A: I was interviewed for an article in which I condemned him and said how much I personally hate him. I made the point that when I was watching David on those episodes of “Donahue” from 1983, he used the terms “make America great again” and “America first.” That stuck out to me when I was watching it in 2017. When we were doing the rehearsals, we were talking about that, and Spike said, “Let’s find a place to put some of that in the film.” That was all mentioned in the article. I woke up one day and my wife said, “David Duke is tweeting about you.” The tweet said, “Thank you so much, Topher. You’re right, those ARE my expressions. Maybe I should sue Donald Trump.” But I resisted the temptation to tweet back.
Q: “BlackKklansman” won the Grand Jury Prize at Cannes and got a six-minute standing ovation. What was going on in your head at that screening?
A: To watch it with an audience and have that kind of reception was one of the great experiences of my career. It was such an amazing confirmation that I was in something that just for a second might be part of the national conversation." I don't hate Duke, I guess him and others of his ilk can't help being nutcase nutjob obsessive anti-semites who should just get a life and get help, his "mind" is poisoned, it's a sickness & disease that consumes him, he can't help it, Just Like Louis Farrakhan aka "Screwy Louie" can't help it, their sick Brains & Minds are Malfunctioning, people have said Duke is a complete Loser, and that Farrakhan is truly Crazy and off his Meds, a very sick disturbed man, both of them are Sick, they can't help being a combination of Mentally Sick & Evil, People Joke that those two losers should donate their Brains to Science, but Science wouldn't what them , Joe you mentioned in this blog that both Duke & Farrakhan are evil men , along with others

Libertarian socialism[1]
Radical democracy[2]
Political position Left-wing to far-left
"The Zapatista Army of National Liberation (Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional, EZLN), often referred to as the Zapatistas [sapaˈtistas], is a far-left libertarian-socialist political and militant group that controls a substantial amount of territory in Chiapas, the southernmost state of Mexico.
Since 1994 the group has been nominally at war with the Mexican state (although it may be described at this point as a frozen conflict).[3] In recent years, the EZLN has focused on a strategy of civil resistance. The Zapatistas' main body is made up of mostly rural indigenous people, but it includes some supporters in urban areas and internationally. The EZLN's main spokesperson is Subcomandante Insurgente Galeano, previously known as Subcomandante Marcos (a.k.a. Compañero Galeano and Delegate Zero in relation to "the Other Campaign"). Unlike other Zapatista spokespeople, Marcos is not an indigenous Maya.[4]
The group takes its name from Emiliano Zapata, the agrarian reformer and commander of the Liberation Army of the South during the Mexican Revolution, and sees itself as his ideological heir. Nearly all EZLN villages contain murals with images of Zapata, Ernesto "Che" Guevara, and Subcomandante Marcos.[5]
While EZLN ideology reflects libertarian socialism, the Zapatistas have rejected[6] and defied[7] political classification. The EZLN aligns itself with the wider alter-globalization, anti-neoliberal social movement, seeking indigenous control over local resources, especially land. Since their 1994 uprising was countered by the Mexican army, the EZLN has abstained from military offensives and adopted a new strategy that attempts to garner Mexican and international support."

"Farrakhan claims to be Jesus in 'Saviours' Day' address: 'I am the Messiah'"
By Caleb Parke | Fox News
Why won't Twitter remove Louis Farrakhan's hate speech?
Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, who has reportedly led a chant of "death to America" and recently called for a separate state for black Americans, has made more controversial comments, claiming to be Jesus and clarifying his "anti-termite" statement.
Farrakhan made many shocking claims during NOI's Saviours' Day keynote address in February at the United Center arena in Chicago. He told Rep. Ilhan Omar "you have nothing to apologize for," and he praised her fellow colleague freshman, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
LOUIS FARRAKHAN, NATION OF ISLAM LEADER, LEADS 'DEATH TO AMERICA' CHANT IN IRAN
The preacher of Islam then appeared to mock one of the most famous passages from the Bible, John 3:16:
MINISTER FARRAKHAN
@LouisFarrakhan
God does not love this world. God never sent Jesus to die for this world. Jesus died because he was 2,000 years too soon to bring about the end of the civilization of the Jews. He never was on no cross. There was no Calvary for that Jesus.
"God does not love this world. God never sent Jesus to die for this world. Jesus died because he was 2,000 years too soon to bring about the end of the civilization of the Jews. He never was on a cross, there was no Calvary for that Jesus," Farrakhan said.
Instead, he said, Jesus's name would live until the one that came that he was prefigured for.
LOUIS FARRAKHAN CALLS FOR SEPARATE STATE FOR BLACK AMERICANS, SAYS THAT'S 'WHAT GOD WANTS'
"The real story is what I tried to tell you from the beginning. It didn’t happen back there. It’s happening right while you’re alive looking at it," Farrakhan told the audience. "I represent the Messiah. I represent the Jesus and I am that Jesus. If I am not, take my life."
The article on www.foxnews.com about Farrakhan continues
"Farrakhan said he makes the deaf hear and dumb speak, and he added: "when I made the call in 1995 to Black people, with the Million Man March, that was like Jesus calling Lazarus and Lazarus came forth."
He said the cross is for him.
"Some of you do today reject because the white man told you I’m an evil man, I’m a hater, I’m an anti-Semite. I hate Jewish people, I hate gay people. Here I am in front of you. I represent the Jesus that saves. I don’t represent somebody that came to judge you and me for our errors and mistakes…Everywhere I went I found myself rejected. My black people, they accepted me. But now white people are frightening the hell out of black people. College presidents are punished for allowing me or anyone that represents me to come on the college campus because they fear what’s in my mouth from my teacher the Honorable Elijah Muhammad."
TWITTER GIVES LOUIS FARRAKHAN A SLAP ON THE WRIST AFTER POSTING ANTI-SEMITIC 'SATANIC JEW' VIDEO
Farrakhan said the "anti-termite" reference was not to all Jews but "the richest 10 percent of Americans" who own "84 percent of all stocks."
Farrakhan has a long history of anti-Semitic comments. Last year, he lost his verified status on Twitter after posting a video in which he asked: "I wonder, will you see the Satanic Jew and the Synagogue of Satan, which has many races in it because Satan has deceived the whole world?" Farrakhan has also said that he is not an anti-Semite, but rather "anti-termite," and led a "Death to Israel" chant during a visit to Iran in November.
In January, Farrakhan posted a clip from a 2015 interview to Instagram in which he called for a separate nation-state for black Americans, saying: "Most of our people don't want it here ... God has something else for us." Many other Online Articles confirm that

"Jenna Jameson flogs David Duke over claim Jews rule porn"
Former adult film star says anti-Semitic abuse from ‘loathsome monster’ is her ‘first welcome to being Jewish and hated for it’
By STUART WINER and RAOUL WOOTLIFF
5 December 2016, 11:26 am 6
the article says
"Former porn mega-star Jenna Jameson, a recent convert to Judaism, blasted the white supremacist David Duke as an “evil” and “loathsome monster” early Sunday, after he made anti-Semitic comments about her and the porn industry.
Jameson said she always knew she would face hatred, but accepted it as an inevitable part of being Jewish.
Duke had tweeted that “Jews dominate porn” and then asked why that is acceptable to “Christians.” His tweet included a link to a Times of Israel story on Jameson’s revelation earlier, in a series of tweets about Israel, that she has “a massive crush” on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“I guess it is my first welcome to being Jewish and hated for it,” Jameson said in a direct message to a Times of Israel reporter.

“Being targeted was something I knew would come but it still shocked me to be attacked by such an outspoken loathsome monster like David Duke,” she added. But she said racist attacks would not deter her from backing of the Jewish state.
“My support of Israel is undying… if it means being targeted by evil anti-Semites, so be it,” Jameson said.
Jameson’s tweetstorm began with a post of remarks Netanyahu made on Sunday to the annual Brookings Institution’s Saban Forum for Middle East Policy, and a comment about his budding relationship with US President-elect Donald Trump, whom she supported for the presidency.
“It’s so apparent Trump and BeBe [sic] are going to be great friends…. I have to admit I have a massive crush on @netanyahu,” she wrote, invoking Netanyahu’s nickname, Bibi.

Duke’s comments sparked a series of responses from other Twitter users about Jewish pornographers and film stars, with some pointing out that Jameson, who was raised Catholic, converted to Judaism years after she left the porn industry in 2008 following a career that spanned 15 years.
Duke, a former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard, claimed that Jameson’s conversion was “revealing her true identity all along.”

Sprinkled among revealing photos, her Twitter feed contains many Jewish-related posts along with political commentary and what seems to be a dedicated effort to answer those who tweet at her, even in Hebrew.
She and her fiance were said to be filming a reality series showing her conversion to Judaism and preparations for the wedding, reportedly set to take place in Israel, though it is unclear when."

Duke then tweeted out a picture of Evans with a number of actresses, including ex-girlfriend actress Jenny Slate, who is Jewish, and Naomie Harris.
“Why does Chris Evans, who plays the Jewish inspired super hero, Captain America, hate the women of his people so much? #WhiteGenocide,” Duke wrote.

To which Chris Evans responded with a simple message filled with all the lovely goodness.
“I don’t hate them. That’s YOUR method. I love. Try it. It’s stronger than hate. It unites us. I promise it’s in you under the anger and fear,” he tweeted.

Early years
He was born in Aleppo, Syria to Bashir Capucci (father) and Chafika Rabbath (mother) and was educated at St. Anne's Seminary in Jerusalem.[1] During his time in office, he was an opponent of the Israeli occupation of Palestine, and aligned himself with the Palestinian cause.
On 20 July 1947, he was ordained a priest of the Basilian Alepian Order. On 30 July 1965, he was appointed archbishop and consecrated.[2]
Arrest and imprisonment
On 18 August 1974 he was arrested by security forces of Israel for smuggling weapons into the West Bank in a Mercedes sedan.[3] He was subsequently convicted by Israeli Martial court of using his diplomatic status to smuggle arms to the Palestine Liberation Army and sentenced to 12 years in prison.[4][5]
Capucci was among the prisoners whose release was demanded by Palestinian hijackers of the Kfar Yuval hostage crisis in 1975,[7] and of German and Palestinian hijackers of Air France Flight 139 (the Entebbe hostage crisis), in 1976.[8]
He was released two years later, in 1978, due to intervention by the Vatican, after having served four years of the 12-years sentence.[3]" Look up the entry on Wikipedia,
Some have called Capucci a symbol of the so-called "Resistance" aka Murder of Innocent Israeli Civilians , by the so-called "Palestinian" people ,
From the years 1948 to 1967, for 19 whole years, when Gaza was occupied by Egypt &
The entire West Bank was occupied by Jordan, in those years the so-called "Palestinians" never desired a State or Nation of their Own, they didn't seem to mind being occupied by Egypt & Jordan , it was only AFTER the 1967 War that the Arab Nations Started, and Israel liberated those lands, in legal self-defense from Arab Aggression, it was only then that the so-called "Palestinians" began crying that they want a State , I want Peace in the Mideast & Worldwide, all Decent People should Want Peace in the Mideast & Worldwide , and YES Egypt Truly Was going to Invade Israel in June of 1967, some people argue that Israel striking first against Egypt in 1967 was not Preemptive, and that Egypt was not really going to Invade Israel, they argue Egypt was never going to Invade Israel in 1967, Well those are Lies, the evidence shows Egypt was planning an imminent attack & invasion of Israel, Israel striking first against Egypt was Indeed Preemptive , but make no Mistake,
Egypt Started the 1967 Six Day War, it's their Fault, Egypt and the other Nations Started that War(and all the Wars in the Mideast) Israel had no choice but to launch a Preemptive Strike against Egypt, but make no Mistake, Egypt and the Other Arab Nations started that War, they were the aggressors, Israel was fighting for it's very survival against a Second Holocaust, Egypt and the Arab Nations were plotting the total destruction of Israel & a Second Holocaust, any other Nation in Israel's situation would have also launched a Preemptive Strike

"It’s not a trick question.
It’s not a joke waiting for a punch line.
The answer is not even a close call.
Who is the most famous Jew in the history of the world?
Jesus the Messiah.
He’s worshiped as the Savior, Son of God and King of Kings by more people worldwide than anyone else.
Yet He was and remains thoroughly Jewish.
Find out all about the WND Israel tour with Joseph and Elizabeth Farah and special guests this November right now.
How do I know He remains thoroughly Jewish? Because I study the Bible, and I read the prophecies He is yet to fulfill. I notice that when He comes to set up His Kingdom on earth, He will set it up in Jerusalem, where He will sit on the throne of David and the Torah will be the law of the land – in fact, the law of the entire world.
Christians should all know this stuff, but they don’t. I suspect if they did, they might be asking themselves why they are not observing the Sabbath and the biblical holy days and observing the biblical dietary laws – because they most certainly will be doing those things in the Kingdom they claim to be longing for and looking forward to.
How do I know? Because it’s in the Bible – as clear as a bell.
You can find all these shocking facts backed up by specific Scripture citations in my new book, “The Restitution of All Things: Israel, Christians and the End of the Age.”
But this is not a book promotion.
This is a Jesus promotion.
Can’t make it to Israel with Joseph Farah next November? How about a beautiful Alaska cruise this September exploring “The Restitution of All Things” and the Hebrew roots of the Christian faith?"
the article continues
"In my Sabbath study this week, I was reading about what some of the other most famous Jews in history had to say about Jesus. I found some quotes I had never seen before. I thought I would share them with you.
Martin Buber, 1878-1965, a leading Jewish writer, philosopher and theologian: “From my youth onwards I have found in Jesus my great brother. That Christianity has regarded him as God and Savior has always appeared to me a fact of the highest importance which, for his sale and my own, I must endeavor to understand. … I am more than ever certain that a great place belongs to him in Israel’s history of faith and that this place cannot be described by any of the usual categories.”
Norman Cousins, 1912-1990, the editor in chief of the Saturday Review for more than 35 years: “The earliest Christians knew neither awkwardness nor reticence over the fact that Jesus was a Jew. Most, if not all, were Jews themselves. Christianity to them was not a faith apart from Judaism but an assertion of it. … There is every reason for Judaism to lose its reluctance toward Jesus. His own towering spiritual presence is a projection of Judaism, not a repudiation of it. Jesus is not to be taxed for the un-Christian ideas and acts of those who have spoken in his name. Jesus never repudiated Judaism. He was proud to be a Jew, yet he did not confine himself to Judaism. He did not believe in spiritual exclusivity for either Jew or Gentile. He asserted the Jewish heritage and sought to preserve and exalt its values, but he did it within a universal context. No other figure – spiritual, philosophical, political or intellectual – has had a greater impact on human history. To belong to a people that produced Jesus is to share in a distinction of vast dimension and meaning.”
Albert Einstein: “As a child I received instruction both in the Bible and in the Talmud. I am a Jew, but I am enthralled by the luminous figure of the Nazarene. … No one can read the Gospels without feeling the actual presence of Jesus. His personality pulsates in every word. No myth is filled with such life. Jesus is too colossal for the pen of phrase-mongers, however artful. No man can dispose of Christianity with a bon mot.”
Benjamin Disraeli, British prime minister: “In all church discussions we are apt to forget the second Testament is avowedly only a supplement. Jesus came to complete the law and the prophets. Christianity is completed Judaism, or it is nothing. Christianity is incomprehensible without Judaism, as Judaism is incomplete without Christianity.”
This is what some of the most famous Jews in history had to say about the most famous Jew in history.
I am in awe, particularly of what Disraeli said because of its simplicity and profoundness.
It’s something both Christians and Jews need to understand"

Joe Whitehead, you mentioned the late Rabbi Meir Kahane, on this blog, an online article by
Donny Fuchs is titled
"Rabbi Meir Kahane: My Rebbe(That I Never Met)"
the article says
"Twenty-four years ago, El Sayyid Nosair (yemach shmo v'zichro) shot Rabbi Meir David Kahane (HY'D) in a Manhattan hotel, following the Rabbi's lecture to an American audience about the need for emergency aliyah. I remember that terrible evening with the clarity that only real nightmares attain. I was in eighth grade, and I was watching WWOR's 10 o'clock news segment on Channel 9. The news anchor, Rolland Smith, opened the broadcast with the mind-numbing news that Rabbi Kahane was shot by an Arab, and that he was clinging to life. A short time later, we received the grim news; Rabbi Kahane was dead.
Disbelief. Utter shock. I knew that someone special was stolen from the Jewish people. As early as second-grade, I started reading Rabbi Kahane's articles in The Jewish Press every Friday night. It was a Shabbos routine. While I'm sure I missed many of the finer points of the articles, young as I was; I could discern that there was something unique about the man. His writing was sharp, witty, and it cut like a scalpel. Certainly, I had seen the Rabbi's many “confrontations” on television, and there was a definite face to this remarkable man who behaved in a manner so unlike most contemporary Jews. He was fearless, and you instantly recognized that here was a Jew who truly didn't give a damn “what the goyim thought.” No apologies. Dignity and self-respect.
These memories remained with me, and in my late teens I studied Rabbi Kahane's other written works. The first book that I read was “Never Again.” It changed me forever. In time, I became connected with those who were fortunate to know Rabbi Kahane personally, and had assisted him in his life's work to save Am Yisroel.“To save them from themselves,” as he so often noted."
the article by Donny Fuchs continues
"What Can One Say?
Every year on the anniversary of Rabbi Kahane's assassination, I am inundated with feelings of profound loss, a desire to want to articulate these feelings, and an inability to do so. Much of my frustration stems from the disappointment that I was never fortunate to meet the man in person, though his teachings resonate throughout my core. Another impediment is the general inability (of this author at least) to truly capture Rabbi Kahane's essence in an article. What can one say about the kind of man who will surely not arise again in our lifetime, until the Messiah arrives?
And yet, what can one do? Except perhaps to try to express a little something, pathetic and insufficient as it is, regarding this historically great Jew. This is not a full treatment of this great man, nor a comprehensive analysis of his many accomplishments, contributions, and sacrifices. These are simply a few reflections that I wish to share.
I see Rabbi Kahane as a throwback to the times of the Judges and Prophets. He epitomized the very essence of mesirat nefesh in Judaism, self-sacrifice at the cost of one's life, the acceptance of the Yoke of Heaven, and the willingness to speak the painful truth, no matter the cost. Throughout his adult life, he willingly endured this cost, regardless of consequence. Imprisonment, harassment, confrontation, and eventually his own murder. Rabbi Kahane was a gadol in Torah, but he was also a warrior. A fiery kohen, who was fit to lead Am Yisroel in war. He was a master of the written word, a writer of immense talent, and an orator whose words could generate an internal fire within you, and raise goosebumps on your arms.
Ahavat Yisroel
“The lesson of clear. In the end, for the Jews, there is no ally except for the Jews.” (R. Meir Kahane, “Never Again”, page 200)
Rabbi Kahane loved Jews with an authentic love. A tough love which compelled him to speak of unpleasant truths which many Jews were unwilling to hear. He understood that at the end of the day, the only one other than Hakadosh Baruch Hu that Jews could count on were other Jews. He had an allergic reaction to the desecration of G-d’s name, and to Jewish pain and suffering. Whenever and wherever Jews were in danger, Rabbi Kahane was there to fight for them. It didn't matter who the enemy was or what his perceived strength was. Nothing would deter him. Not the Godless Soviets who tried to eclipse the soul of Soviet Jewry, not the Neo-nazis and Black Panthers in America, or the Arabs in Israel. Rabbi Kahane faced them all, with his patented chutzpah, wit, and lack of self-concern. And in Eretz Yisroel, the Arabs were truly terrified of him. Like an enraged Shimshon Hagibor, the Arabs feared him, because much like Samson, his strength was an anomaly that they could not understand. It derived from the very personality of this magnificent tzadik. He had their number."
the article also said
"
When Rabbi Kahane first formed the JDL in the late 1960's to physically defend Jewish neighborhoods from anti-semitism, the Jewish Establishment condemned his use of violence, even as they chose to ignore the shocking rise of Jew-hatred, particularly within the black community. This was of course during the era of changing neighborhoods, and those Jews who were left behind in hostile regions, were always the poor and the elderly. Rabbi Kahane became their protector." Please Note, Not all Black People are Bad, Most are Decent People just like everyone else,
the article also says
"
The small minded Jewish leaders and lay people (religious and otherwise) who condemned and smeared him were dishonest when it came to addressing the logical Halachic issues he raised, and worst of all, something that the great man always resented, they were afraid to debate him on these very same issues. They naturally feared him, because intellect and intellectual honesty always trumps ad hominem attacks, and in a debate on Jewish issues, they would have come up short. That is an understatement. He would have dissected them intellectually, as he always did during debates, radio interviews, or question and answer sessions with hostile individuals. The pathetic excuse of not wanting “to dignify his remarks” or “place him in the bounds of intellectual discourse” was aggravating enough when it came from hypocritical secular Jews. But when it came from religious Rabbis who knew that Rabbi Kahane's message was predicated solely on Torah, the refusal to engage in debate was beyond grotesque."
And in the Article by Donny Fuchs a picture of Meir Kahane appears it says about Kahane
"Scholar-Warrior" & "Who is For The L-rd, Let Him Come To Me"
Joe Whitehead, Please Respond, I can't help but be curious, you said in this "Zionism Now" blog that you are a Gentile yourself, yet in another place on this blog, you said your Religion is Judaism, were you born a Gentile, and then converted to Judaism, ? or is one of your Parents Jewish, while the Other is Christian, Just wondering what your spiritual journey is, I knew a very nice African American man born into a Baptist family, and later in life he converted to Judaism, I'm a Christian myself, but I strongly support Israel,

"The miracle of Israel lives on 70 years later"
By Michael Goodwin November 28, 2017 | 10:20pm
E
Israel thrives today, despite the same hatred of Jews and vows of destruction it has faced since its inception in 1947. AP
the article says
"On Nov. 29, 1947, the United Nations voted to partition Palestine into two states, one Jewish, one Arab. Most Zionists accepted the deal, while Arabs almost universally rejected it and declared war.
One Muslim delegate, referring to Jews living in Arab nations, warned that “The blood will flow like rivers in the Middle East.” Iraq’s prime minister threatened that the Jewish state would not survive, saying “We will smash the country with our guns and obliterate every place the Jews seek shelter in” while Syria’s leader claimed “We shall eradicate Zionism.”
Seventy years later, a lust for Jewish blood is a staple of Islamic State, Hezbollah and Hamas, whose charter calls for the elimination of Israel. Iran’s leaders call Israel “Little Satan” and vow to wipe it off the map.
In important ways, then, not much has changed. Jew hatred remains mainstream enough to flourish in the sunshine as well as the shadows, including at major American university campuses and European parliaments. Year in, year out, Jews are the victims of most of the religious hate crimes in the United States.
Some UN bodies exist to demonize Israel while ignoring wholesale slaughter and oppression in other lands. Indeed, if that partition proposal were submitted to a much-larger General Assembly today, it probably would not get majority support, let alone the two-thirds approval it got in 1947."
the article continues
"Yet in other ways, everything has changed. Israel, which declared independence in 1948, is a mighty regional power militarily and its economy and technical innovations are world-renowned. This is exceptionalism, Israeli-style.
Politically, it’s made progress, too. Peace treaties with Jordan and Egypt have proved remarkably durable and other Arab states have established quiet working relationships with the nation they tried repeatedly to destroy.
Paradoxically, the rise of Islamic terrorism has created common ground with some former enemies. Even Barack Obama’s flawed nuclear deal with Iran, vehemently opposed by both Israel and Saudi Arabia, is bringing the two nations closer because they share a vision of Iran as an existential threat.
A recent article in the Jerusalem Post described growing relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia as “perhaps the most significant shift in the region” and called a secret visit by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to Israel in September evidence that official diplomatic relations are possible.
On that second point, pessimism remains the safe bet. Although Trump reversed Obama’s tilt toward the Palestinians, neither president has had success in changing the essential dynamics: The violent refusal of Palestinian elements to accept Israel’s right to exist.
While much of the public debate is couched in terms of borders and settlements and sovereignty over Jerusalem, the larger truth is that Palestinians have pursued Israel’s destruction with more zeal than they applied to building their own state"
The nypost.com article by Michael Goodwin lastly says
"While you would never know it from most coverage in the American media, a two-state solution was offered to both Yasser Arafat and Mahmoud Abbas, but neither would say yes. To do so would have meant signing their own death warrants at the hands of fellow Arabs committed to Israel’s destruction.
The result is that many Palestinians remain scattered in “refugee camps” around the region established nearly 70 years ago, unwanted by their hosts while serving as political pawns. In their own self-governed territories, they are bitterly divided and impoverished, with much of the population living on international handouts and a fantasy that a Palestine without Jews is inevitable.
At times, there have been brief interludes of hope that internal change was coming. Abbas, head of the Palestinian Authority, which governs the West Bank, told an Israeli journalist that he believed the Arabs’ 1947 rejection of the partition was a mistake that he hoped to correct.
That was six years ago. Since then, Abbas, finishing the 13th year of a four-year term, has done little to turn that idea into reality.
As I prepare for an upcoming trip to Israel and the West Bank, my third visit to the region, I expect to find an even more dynamic Jewish state, where even the constant threat of catastrophe does not interfere with a zest for life.
Then again, that’s Israel. A miracle among nations."
An article from the website, haaretz.com is titled
"Israel’s 500 Million Birds: The World’s Eighth Wonder"
German journalist and photographer Thomas Krumenacker was amazed by the bird migrations he witnessed in Israel. He couldn’t help but write the book on the subject.
By Zafrir Rinat Jan 13, 2017
SendSend me email alerts
Migratory birds love Israel, now Israel is out to lure bird-watchers
Israel has best bird conservation record in the region
Flights of fancy: Bird migration in Israel's Hula Valley
the article says
"A working visit to Israel by German journalist and photographer Thomas Krumenacker 11 years ago changed his life. After witnessing the seasonal migration of birds here, he made his hobby something much more serious. The result: his book “Birds in the Holy Land,” which has just come out in German and English.
The work was published with the help of the Hoopoe Bird Foundation, founded by Rachel and Moshe Yanai and administered by the Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel. Krumenacker lives in Berlin but visits Israel often. He follows the birds from the heights of Mount Hermon to the Gulf of Eilat.
The book’s photos and accompanying text show why birds’ migration along the length of the country has been termed “the eighth wonder of the world.” In a short period, more than 500 bird species pass overhead, and almost every year a new species not seen before in Israel is observed."
The article continues
"Most of these birds leave Europe in the autumn on their way to Africa, making the long journey back in the spring. Some species arrive during the winter. Experts estimate that during the migration season some 500 million birds pass through Israel.
For some species, almost the entire global population moves through the region. For example, nearly all the world’s Levant sparrowhawks fly over the Holy Land during their migration.
Especially prominent overhead are white storks; half a million stop in Israel for food or rest, nearly all the ones from Europe and Asia. Another important visitor is the lesser spotted eagle, described by Krumenacker as one of the most enigmatic birds to nest in Europe. This is due to its penchant for remote forests.
A lesser spotted eagle Thomas Krumenacker
Israel holds other records as well. For example, one birdwatcher counted no fewer than 8,700 black storks within an hour and a half in the Beit She’an Valley. This is the largest flock of this species ever seen.
Nature has undergone some destructive changes in Israel due to construction and the drying of natural water sources, but still, new and rich sources of food have appeared with the development of fishponds, agricultural fields and waste-disposal sites. These serve as welcome refueling stops for migrating birds. The Hula Valley in the north and the fishponds are a prime example of such resources, but the salt-water pools in Atlit near Haifa and Eilat in the south also offer food and shelter.
The migration has offered opportunities for collaboration between birdwatchers in Israel, Jordan and the Palestinian Authority. It also brings thousands of birdwatchers here from around the world every year."
and continues
"The huge flocks of course are impressive, not that they have an easy time along the way. Bird migration is in some sense a metaphor for freedom and an absence of borders, writes Krumenacker. But it also demonstrates the individual’s dangerous struggle against nature and the environmental changes constantly shaped by man. The struggle often ends in the death of a bird during its risky migration.
Krumenacker, for example, took a photo of a dark-feathered spotted eagle fighting an eastern imperial eagle over a treetop observation perch. These are among the largest birds of prey, and in this battle the older and more experienced spotted eagle won. This is one of the rarest birds of prey in the world, arriving in Israel during the winter.
The eastern imperial eagle, meanwhile, is among the most impressive eagles seen in Israel. It can catch mammals, but during the winter it mainly feeds on carcasses, including those of cranes. Some 60 to 90 of these birds are thought to pass through during the migration season. Sadly, these beauties sometimes meet their deaths by hitting hit high-voltage-lines.
Black storks Thomas Krumenacker
Black stork
This is a less-known species of storks. They love the fishponds in the Beit She’an Valley and stay there along with other species of water fowl that arrive in the area. Since political borders are of no interest to them, they can often be seen resting on hills on the Jordanian side of the border.
A blackstart Thomas Krumenacker
Blackstart
Krumenacker describes this bird as one with self-confidence. It prowls gardens but also remote desert areas. It belongs to the thrush family and spends much of its time on the ground eating insects. It builds its nests in crevices in rocks. It resides in Israel throughout the year.
A desert tawny owl Thomas Krumenacker
Hume’s tawny owl (Strix butleri)
This owl species is one of the more mysterious species in the region; until recently there were hardly any photos of this bird. Over the last two years ornithologist Amir Ben Dov has managed to document it during mating and the raising of chicks in the Judean Desert. This species was defined as new only two years ago. Its Latin name honors Hadoram Shirihai, an Israeli ornithologist whose work led to its definition as a new species.
A black kite Thomas Krumenacker
Black kite (Milvus migrans)
This bird of prey nests in forests near lakes, rivers or marshes. Krumenacker says this bird feeds on dead fish floating on water, but in Israel’s fishponds it catches live fish as well. In recent years these birds realized they could easily find food at waste-disposal sites. Thus thousands of kites haunt such sites, such as the Dudaim in the Negev.
Pelicans
Lake Hula, the Beit She’an Valley and other areas with fishponds are a vital resting and feeding stop for these birds when migrating. This creates conflicts with fish farmers. In recent years the Israel Nature and Parks Authority has operated reservoirs overfilled with fish in order to attract pelicans away from fishponds."
and lastly says
"Green bee-eater
This is one of the most magnificent species, and it’s not surprising that Krumenacker put a photo of this baby beside the table of contents. Three species can be seen in Israel, all of which build their nests inside deep tunnels. These birds can catch flying insects, including bees, hence their name.
A long-legged buzzard Thomas Krumenacker
Long-legged buzzard
This bird of prey nests in the Judean Hills and the Golan Heights. During the winter it flies to Turkey and even to Eastern Europe. In recent years it has been racked by poisoning and fires. Ornithologist Gilad Friedman from Tel Aviv University has been studying this bird and its fascinating competition with another bird of prey, the snake eagle.
Cranes Thomas Krumenacker
Cranes in the Hula Valley
More than 40,000 cranes from Europe and Russia stop in the Lake Hula area during the winter. They are fed by farmers and remain there for a long period. Cranes are one of the few large birds that fly at night as well.
A sociable plover Thomas Krumenacker
Sociable lapwing
This is one of the rarest birds in Israel. It can be seen in only a few locations, mostly in the western Negev, which it reaches during the winter. Experts say fewer than 15,000 remain in the world the reasons are the destruction of their nests by sheep and by hunting along their migration route between Asia and North Africa.
Lesser spotted eagle

"CAITLYN JENNER’S PROUD DEFENSE OF ISRAEL AGAINST BDS ENEMIES"
Israel lives by the Torah, the guiding star of the Jewish people, the highest principle of which is, whether or not you agree with someone, their life is of infinite value.

Having announced that Caitlyn Jenner is one of the main honorees at our March 8 Gala at the Plaza Hotel in New York City celebrating Israel’s 70th birthday, I was inundated with criticism for giving a “Champion of Israel and Human Rights Award” to the world’s most famous transgender woman. As fortune would have it, at the very same time, Caitlyn was herself in Ireland, a country increasingly hostile to Israel, speaking publicly and proudly of the Jewish state.
“I really judge a people and a country by the way they treat the LGBT community, I just have to say Ireland has done such a good job when it comes to these issues... There’s other countries around the world, in fact I’ll be in Israel, who have done a wonderful job in the face of civil rights.” Caitlyn went on to say that if you’re LGBT in countries that are not like Israel, “they’ll hang you; it’s an amazing thing.”

Right wing or unity? 4 scenarios for the next gov’t
For her courage and incredible friendship to the Jewish people and Israel, and her preparedness to speak out from Hollywood, where even the Jews are almost completely silent on Israel, we will proudly proceed with a speech by Caitlyn on March 8 highlighting the State of Israel as one of the world’s great bastions of human rights and a country that protects LGBT citizens from the certain murder and brutality they would experience if they set one foot outside of Israel in the north, east, or south.
Damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead.
I understand that some members of faith communities have objections to the LGBT lifestyle. I recognize that some of my religious colleagues are uncomfortable with the gay rights movement. More than a few of my fellow Orthodox Jews have written to me about their disappointment. Seriously? You object to our simple message that every human being – regardless of religion, race, or creed – deserves to be protected and deserves to be treated like a child of God? What Bible were you reading?
Is there someone out there with a kippa, tzitzit and a beard who, if they saw a transgender man or woman brutally murdered in Tehran and hanging from a crane in a city square, wouldn’t see that as abomination and an affront to the living God?
While we can have religious debates on homosexuality and transgender, there should absolutely no human rights debate whatsoever on LGBT individuals being protected by law from any and all kind of danger. God created human beings in his image. And Israel protects all of God’s children, which is why I am so proud of the Jewish state."
the article continues
" As an Orthodox Jew and a rabbi, I respect and live by Jewish law. I also believe that the highest Jewish value is the infinite worth of every human life, regardless of ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation. One does not have to endorse a lifestyle, or have it accord with one’s religious principles, to believe that every human life is sacred and must be protected. The Jewish people, more than any other nation on earth, have always championed the infinite value of life. Israel’s enemies, by contrast, endorse a cult of death in which teenagers who blow up buses are lionized as martyrs and heroes.
Don’t preach to me that we should be like them.
The focus of our organization is to defend human rights, disseminate universal Jewish values and highlight Israel’s role as a light unto the nations. Choosing to honor Caitlyn is consistent with our mission. She is an icon in the LGBT community and beyond for her public support of human rights and a strong supporter of the Jewish people and State of Israel. We look forward to what is sure to be an outstanding speech by one of the world’s most recognizable faces about Israel as a light unto the nations.
There is more.
A new Pew survey indicated the percentage of liberal Jews supporting Israel over the Palestinians has declined dramatically, from 33% in 2016 to 19% in 2017. On campuses around the country we have seen this trend reflected by students who define themselves as “progressives” identifying increasingly with the Palestinians and critics of Israel. Minority groups, such as Black Lives Matter and LGBT advocates, have likewise turned on Israel. In this atmosphere it is more important than ever to stand by and honor people from those communities who are willing to speak the truth and support Israel.
Caitlyn and other members of the LGBT community – whatever people’s religious objections – are also a persecuted minority. They are targeted by many of the same extremists that target Jews, though mostly from those on the Right. When I was recently in Europe visiting former concentration camps, I also saw exhibits about the mistreatment of homosexuals. While Jews were forced to wear badges with yellow Stars of David, gays were assigned pink triangles. Echoing his sentiments on Jews, SS head Heinrich Himmler said of gays, “It is vital we rid ourselves of them; like weeds we must pull them up, throw them on the fire and burn them. This is not out of a spirit of vengeance, but of necessity; these creatures must be exterminated.”
The Nazis ultimately did not seek to exterminate homosexuals as they did the Jews. Nevertheless, they killed as many as 15,000, while others were brutally treated by camp guards and other inmates.
According to the Human Rights Campaign, at least 25 transgender Americans were murdered in 2017. And that’s in the United States. According to the FBI, 18% of hate crimes in 2016 were motivated by sexual orientation. That’s an increase of 2% over 2015. Crimes against transgender Americans increased nearly 43%."
The article continues
"In all these areas, Israel stands out as a country, situated in the cesspit of Middle East human rights abuses, that treats all LGBT citizens as people and as children of God, protecting them from persecution and harm. This is a fact that must be made known on all of America’s campuses, even as the Israel haters despise the Jewish state so much that they accuse us of “pinkwashing.” They prefer to overlook how Hamas slaughters gays on false charges of collaboration, just to attack the Jewish state. That’s how blind their hatred is.
Caitlyn has bravely spoken out against the bigotry directed toward the gay community. She has also stood up to antisemites in the LGBT community who object to her or anyone else expressing admiration for Israel and its promotion of human rights. Since the announcement of our award they have already accused Caitlyn of “pinkwashing” Israel, which they assert is an effort to divert attention from Israel’s policies toward the Palestinians. But she has refused to stand down. These people hate Israel so much they cannot bear to hear that LGBT individuals and organizations are protected by law in the Jewish state, and they care so little about Palestinians that they are willing to ignore their persecution of gays.
Caitlyn is standing with Israel because she knows that she can safely walk the streets of Israel. She can visit Tel Aviv, voted in an international survey as one of the safest cities in the world for LGBT citizens, and know that she is protected by Israel’s laws barring discrimination based on gender orientation.
She may not know that some of the soldiers protecting her as well, as other visitors and citizens, could also be transgender. In 1993, Israel became one of the first countries to protect the rights of transgender soldiers, providing them with the constitutional right to serve. And I absolutely endorse any Jewish soldier who wants to fight to ensure that there will never be a second Holocaust. Today, Israel is one of only 19 nations whose armies allow transgender individuals to serve.
Caitlyn does know how dangerous it would be for her to cross into the Palestinian Authority-controlled West Bank or Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip. As in other Islamic societies, Palestinians do not approve of the gay lifestyle and LGBT individuals from Palestinian-controlled areas are persecuted and many have fled to Israel for safety.
The situation is worse in neighboring states. Iran, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Qatar, the UAE and Iraq are among the 13 countries that can impose the death penalty for “same-sex sexual acts.” Other Muslim countries provide for penalties of up to 10 years for homosexuality or “debauchery.” Among the horrors we have witnessed and documented are Islamic State extremists throwing a gay man off the roof of a building and a man being lashed and imprisoned for using Twitter to arrange dates with other men. Islamic countries went so far as to bar gay and transgender organizations from attending an international meeting on combating AIDS."

"Internet Surfers From Arab Countries Swarm to Israel’s Sex Ed Website"
By Aussie Dave - July 8, 2018
the article says
"Ynet reports on an interesting, ehh, upside to Israel’s Ministry of Health Sex Ed website being translated into Arabic (auto-translated):
How I imagine some of the website visitors might look
The Ministry of Health’s website for sexual education was translated last year into several languages for all Israeli citizens. The unexpected result: Many surfers from Arab countries enter the page in Arabic
You can find information on sexually transmitted diseases, contraception, sexual abuse, etc. on the safe-sex.com website. The website, operated by the Health Ministry’s Lewinsky Clinic, appeals to men and women, homosexuals and heterosexuals alike.
Last year, the Levinsky Clinic decided to translate part of the site into various languages - Arabic, Tigrinya, English and Russian – to serve various minorities in the country. “A few days ago I decided to check how many surfers from foreign countries entered the site, and I saw a crazy increase in surfers from Arab countries,” said Yael Gur, director of the Levinsky Clinic. “We were amazed to find that there are quite a few surfers from countries that do not have diplomatic relations with Israel, like Iraq, Syria and Libya.”
According to the data, the most viewed pages among surfers from Arab countries are those dealing with the menstrual cycle, the papillomavirus, adolescence, masturbation, “10 facts about the penis” and pregnancy and childbirth.
“We estimate that the high rate of surfers in the Arab countries – specifically to a site operated by the Israeli Ministry of Health – stems from the fact that this is one of the only sites in the Arabic language that provides extensive information on sexuality for men and women, young and old, LGBT and straight, We do not talk about these issues, so they turn to the Internet. On our site they find materials in their own language. It makes me happy that the site helps to present a more positive picture of the State of Israel.”
No doubt, there will be those in the Arab and Muslim world who will see in this some grand plot by the Joooooooooos to corrupt the minds of the innocent (think Zionist Sex Gum of DoomTM)
But for those with even a modicum of common sense, we are happy to be of service! (and glad many of you want to actually put condoms to proper use)"
Anyone can also look up articles on Google or Bing or other search engines that show that Israel is the Only Country in the World that the terror group ISIS is terrified of,
ISIS is literally terrified of Israel !!!!! We can Never Forget that Anti-Zionism IS Anti-Semitism, they are the same thing !!! Same Thing Basically

"A rare defense of Israel"
By NJJN STAFF
October 14, 2009, 12:00 am the article says
"The million-to-one shot came in. Hell froze over. A month of Sundays hit the calendar. Vanessa Redgrave defended Israel.
In a surprising denouement to the Toronto International Film Festival story, the actress remembered for her attack on “Zionist hoodlums” defended the festival’s special series showcasing Israeli films about Tel Aviv. A group of actors and artists had condemned the series, saying it served Israel’s “propaganda” purposes. But in a letter in The New York Review of Books, Redgrave, along with artist Julian Schnabel and playwright Martin Sherman, describes the protest as “improperly thought out” and as having “distressing implications.”
True, Redgrave’s statement is hardly a love letter. She writes of the “injustice and cruelty inflicted upon the Palestinians over decades” without acknowledging Israeli suffering or Palestinian terrorism. She comes close to both downplaying the Holocaust and equating the Jews’ treatment under the Nazis with the Palestinians’ treatment under Israeli control.
But her letter does call on her fellow artists to distinguish between Israelis and their government and to recognize Israel’s robust internal debate. The artists engaged in this debate “should be applauded and encouraged,” she writes. “Their presence and their continued activity is reason alone to celebrate their city.”
Redgrave also objects to the original protesters’ assertion that “Tel Aviv is built on destroyed Palestinian villages.” She doesn’t think the statement is false, mind you, but feels it is no more relevant than saying America is built on “obliterated Indian property.” Her point is that her fellow artists should not make Israel feel insecure by suggesting it should not exist. “If attitudes are hardened on both sides, if those who are fighting within their own communities for peace are insulted, where then is the hope?” she writes. “The point finally is not to grandstand but to inch toward a two-state solution and a world in which both nations can exist, perhaps not lovingly, but at least in peace.”
It’s a sign of the times that a Jewish newspaper should feel partly grateful for a statement from a famed pro-Palestinian activist that accuses Israel of “apartheid” and possibly worse. But let’s count it as progress, amid increasing calls for anti-Israel boycotts, that a fixture on the Left recognizes Israel’s right to exist, and acknowledges the humanity of its citizens." People have said Vanessa Redgrave is still a horrible actress , no real talent , she used her family's acting name to advance her career, that she has no real talent, and is incredibly ugly both inside & outside , that she is a horrible person, and still a hate-filled ugly woman

Only this time, she is on Israel's side.
In a letter to the New York Review of Books co-signed by artist Julian Schnabel and playwright Martin Sherman, Redgrave defends the festival's choice to spotlight Tel Aviv and denounces those who have called for a boycott.
"We oppose the current Israeli government, but it is a government," Redgrave and her co-signatories wrote in their letter, "Freely elected. Not a regime. Words matter."

The anti-Israel actress (except that I guess we can't call her that anymore) condemned a move at the Toronto Film Festival last month to label Israel an "apartheid regime." Arguing in defense of Tel Aviv, the showcased city at the festival, Redgrave wrote:
We oppose the current Israeli government, but it is a government. Freely elected. Not a regime. Words matter. ... These citizens of Tel Aviv and their organizations and their cultural outlets should be applauded and encouraged. Their presence and their continued activity is reason alone to celebrate their city....

"Vanessa Redgrave: Still hating after all these years" by Ben Cohen ,
the article says
"Then, as now, the far-left in the West demonized Zionism as a form of racism, lionized Palestinian terrorists as revolutionary martyrs and adopted an anti-Semitic interpretation of international politics as a battle against “Zionism and imperialism.”
(August 31, 2018 / JNS) The spectacle of thespians making political interventions is rarely a dignified one. But that hasn’t stopped Hollywood’s elite from radical posturing; from the old days, Marlon Brando is one example, Jane Fonda another, while in our own time we can give a mention to Sean Penn, for his embrace of the late Venezuelan dictator (and the author of that country’s present misery) Hugo Chávez.
A particularly notorious example of fawning before autocrats and dictators is British actor Vanessa Redgrave. Unarguably one of the most brilliant screen performers of the post-war era, Redgrave identified as a “revolutionary Marxist” in the 1970s. In keeping with the trajectory of the New Left, whose ideas about Jews were pretty similar to the Old Left, she was a vocal advocate of the Palestinian cause.

In 1978, Redgrave won a best supporting actress Oscar for her role in “Julia,” a searing drama about resistance to the Nazis during the Second World War. Given that she had just narrated a pro-PLO documentary, many outraged Jews pointed to the irony of Redgrave being honored for her portrait of a Jewish woman on screen. The Jewish Defense League (JDL) picked up the cudgels for an anti-Redgrave campaign that included the burning of a Redgrave effigy. During her acceptance speech, Redgrave saluted the audience for having “refused to be intimidated by the threat of a small bunch of Zionist hoodlums, whose behavior is an insult to the stature of Jews all over the world, and to their great and heroic record of struggle against fascism and oppression.”
the article continues
"The great majority of mainstream Jews, who certainly kept groups like the JDL at arm’s length, scoffed at Redgrave’s hypocrisy, and particularly her appropriation of Jewish victimhood to score political points against “Zionists.” In subsequent years, Redgrave was to claim that her statement had cost her several starring roles—an intimation that “Zionist hoodlums” were also running movie studios. She never expressed regret.
This week, Redgrave, who is now 81, reflected on her 1978 speech in a wide-ranging interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “I didn’t realize pledging to fight anti-Semitism and fascism was controversial. I’m learning that it is,” she said, repeating the closing words of her Oscars’ speech. And then there was this gem: “ ‘I had to do my bit. … Everybody had to do their bit, to try and change things for the better. To advocate for what’s right and not be dismayed if immediately you don’t see results.’ ”
These are the sorts of soothing, motivational words one expects from advocates of breast-cancer awareness or increased children’s literacy or other worthy causes—not from an apologist for terrorism and anti-Semitic violence. While it is perhaps unfair to expect a show-biz publication like THR to delve into the political context of Redgrave’s 1978 speech, the net effect of publishing this last quote unchallenged is to perpetuate the same basic lie that she told 40 years ago.
During the 1970s, Palestinian terrorism acquired a new and alarming dimension. Non-Palestinians, non-Arabs, non-Jews, drawn from university campuses from Berlin to Tokyo, were enlisted into what was revered as “the armed struggle of the Palestinian people.” Translated, that meant deadly terrorism directed against civilians by individuals with no personal stake in the conflict, who were driven by a fanatical devotion to revolutionary nationalist ideology.
In May 1972, three members of the Japanese Red Army in the pay of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) gunned down passengers in the arrivals hall of Ben-Gurion Airport—then plain Lod Airport—near Tel Aviv. That massacre claimed the lives of 26 people, the majority of whom were Christian pilgrims from Puerto Rico."
the article continues
"The Japanese leftists were not alone. In July 1976, two terrorists belonging to the German Revolutionary Cells (RZ) group joined a PFLP unit in hijacking an Air France plane after it had departed from Tel Aviv, eventually landing the passengers at Entebbe airport in Uganda, and into the hands of that country’s bloody despot, Idi Amin Dada. Once inside the sweltering terminal, the two Germans—Wilfried Bose and Brigitte Kuhlmann—coldly and efficiently separated the Israeli from the non-Israeli passengers, in much the same way as their parents and grandparents would have separated Jews from non-Jews in the Nazi concentration camps.
The Entebbe hostages were, of course, liberated during a remarkable Israeli commando operation, but elsewhere, the Jewish and Israeli casualties piled up. Many of the victims in the 1970s, Jewish and non-Jewish, died in operations directed by that era’s most feared terrorist—not a Palestinian, but the Venezuelan-born Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, better known as “Carlos.”
While dozens of leftists from around the world were willing to give their lives for the Palestinians, thousands more, including Vanessa Redgrave, cheered on the slogans of this anti-Semitic war, loudly urging Israel’s violent destruction in the name of a “secular, democratic Palestine.” Then, as now, the far-left in the West demonized Zionism as a form of racism, lionized Palestinian terrorists as revolutionary martyrs and adopted an anti-Semitic interpretation of international politics as a battle against “Zionism and imperialism.” Thus did a handful of young Europeans again find themselves murdering unarmed Jews, this time in kosher restaurants, synagogues and even private homes.
Vanessa Redgrave’s present-day conscience is not troubled by any of this. Nor, apparently, is she troubled by the fact that the British group she dutifully served in 1978—an outfit called the Workers’ Revolutionary Party (WRP)—was subsequently exposed as an anti-Semitic political cult, whose leader, Gerry Healey, raped and sexually abused dozens of young female members while receiving funds from dictators like Saddam Hussein in Iraq and Moammar Gaddafi in Libya. No, according to Vanessa Redgrave, she and her comrades were just ”doing their bit“ to make the world a better place."
the article lastly says
"That same haughty, disingenuous attitude infests the far-left in Europe today, as demonstrated by political leaders like Labour Party head Jeremy Corbyn in Britain and Jean-Luc Melénchon in France. For them, as for Redgrave, there are “good Jews” (who oppose Zionism) and “bad Jews” (who are Zionists, which by their definition includes the great mass of us who support a secure and thriving State of Israel). Do not expect them to show remorse either." sadly Vanessa Redgrave is still an ugly old smelly unrepentant bigot & loser , her pathetic acting "career" was over years ago, she is all washed up, no one wants her for any roles anymore, and it's not just because she is old and ugly, but because of her evil primitive nature , there are ugly old women who still get roles in Movies, but not her, but I disagree with Ben Cohen who wrote this article for jns.org, Myself & other people don't think Vanessa Redgrave ever had a "conscience" of any kind, we doubt she ever will, she is Heartless, and not too bright , not very intelligent, crappy excuse for an actress , and others have described her as evil disturbed, a "bitch" and "cunt" etc, overall a horrible person
People have pointed out how in the Past the PLO was Communist
The PLO was Satanic so it probably was Communist
Vanessa Redgrave probably still smells like dirty old feet and stale moldy cheese,

"How Israel saved itself, twice"

How Israel saved itself, twice
This combination of pictures created on March 20, 2018 of handout images provided by the Israeli army reportedly shows an aerial view of a suspected Syrian nuclear reactor during bombardment in 2007. (-/AFP/Getty Images)
Every April or May, depending on the way the Jewish calendar falls, there is a week within which the entire story of Israel can be captured.
First comes Holocaust Remembrance Day, commemorating the 6 million Jews murdered by Nazi Germany during World War II. Five days later is Israel’s Remembrance Day, commemorating the more than 26,000 men and women killed in service of the Jewish state. And then a day later is Israel’s Independence Day — to be held this year on May 9 — marking 71 years since the Jewish state was established.
It is a week that holds within it the memory of where Israel came from, how it got to where it is today and its impressive accomplishments.
It reminds us of what makes Israel unique, how it has faced innumerable challenges since inception, and how despite its economic success and relative security along its borders, it is far from reaching the stage that it can lay down its weapons.
It was this history that Prime Minister Ehud Olmert had in mind when, shortly after midnight on Sept. 6, 2007, he sent Israeli Air Force jets into Syria to bomb a nondescript building located along the ancient Euphrates River.
Hours earlier, the pilots were told what their target would be — a nuclear reactor being built for Syria by none other than North Korea. The airmen were as shocked as the agents of Israel’s vaunted intelligence agency Mossad when they first uncovered construction of the reactor just five months earlier.
The decision to bomb the reactor was not taken easily. At the time, it was just a year after the Second Lebanon War, a conflict that ended with Hezbollah still in control of Lebanon and Israel reeling in the aftermath of unprecedented rocket attacks against its cities.
When contemplating the possibility of a strike against the Syrian nuclear reactor, the chief of staff of the Israel Defense Forces warned the cabinet that there was a 50% chance of another war breaking out. But this time, he explained, it would be against a massive conventional army and not a small-time guerilla organization.
While a decade has passed since that bombing, this one story — seemingly just about the destruction of a nuclear reactor in Syria — provides the world with a lasting example of the dangers that lurk around the globe; of how radical regimes, without ideological linkage, work together to proliferate the most devastating weapon known to mankind. And, it shows the lengths that Israel is willing to go to stop them.
What most people don’t know is that Israel is the only country in the world to have attacked and destroyed two nuclear reactors in two different enemy countries. The first time was in 1981, when Israeli jets flew to Iraq and bombed the Osirak reactor Saddam Hussein was building outside of Baghdad.
Both attacks were executed in line with a policy that has become known in Israel as the “Begin Doctrine,” named for Menachem Begin, the Israeli prime minister who ordered the 1981 strike in Iraq. According to the unwritten rule, the Jewish state will always use military force to prevent its enemies from obtaining nuclear weapons."
The article continues
"For a state built on the ashes of the Holocaust and the attempted extermination of European Jewry, it is a policy that continues to resonate as other countries in the Middle East, and particularly Iran, pursue nuclear weapons.
A tiny country about the size of New Jersey, Israel lacks strategic depth. A nuclear explosion in the center of the country would threaten the continued viability of the Jewish state as we know it.
What happened in 2007 is a playbook for how one country neutralized an existential threat. How it diligently and secretly gathered intelligence, cooperated with its close allies, readied its military and launched an attack without any guarantees how it all would end. It is the story of Israel."

"'Palestinian Authority 100% to blame for the failure of Oslo'"
'No one is more hypocritical than the Israeli Left,' says ex-Shabak internal security head Avi Dicther, defending Israel's Nation-State law.
Arutz Sheva Staff, 29/07/19 12:29
"The Palestinian Authority is 100% to blame for the failure of the Oslo Accords," said former Shabak (Shin Bet internal security agency) Director and Likud MK Avi Dichter to a packed Tel-Aviv audience Sunday night.
Dichter made his remarks at special conference organized by the Zionist NGO Im Tirtzu in collaboration with Canadians for Israel's Legal Rights on the topic of Israel's legal rights.
The former Shabak chief discussed the history of Israel's legal rights and the passage of the Nation-State Law, which after first being sponsored by Dichter in 2011 was finally passed by the Knesset in July 2018.
"There are no greater hypocrites than the Israeli Left," said Dichter about the Left's opposition to the law. "The Nation-State Law cements in law the Jewish People's national rights, but does not infringe on anyone else's civil rights."
The conference, which was dedicated in memory of Rabbi Ahiad Ettinger who was murdered this past March in a terror attack, began with a talk from popular Israeli journalist Amit Segal.
Also present at the conference was Sheffi Paz, a social activist in South Tel-Aviv. Paz noted that while Israel has the legal rights to the land, the government has abandoned South Tel-Aviv and is unwilling to tackle the problems caused by the influx of thousands of illegal migrant workers.
Goldi Steiner, founder and co-chair of Canadians for Israel's Legal Rights, said that learning about Israel's rights is the key to combating false claims against Israel.
"There is only one way to counter the ever-growing accusations of apartheid, occupation, and all the lies propagated by anti-Israel organizations like IfNotNow and B'Tselem, and that is through education."
Matan Peleg, CEO of Im Tirtzu, noted that one cannot accurately evaluate the Arab-Israeli conflict without first understanding Israel's legal rights.
"When discussing the conflict, it is critical to first understand that the Jewish People have legal rights to the Land of Israel," said Peleg.
"This is precisely why we have teamed with Canadians for Israel's Legal Rights to educate students and the broader public about Israel's legal rights," added Peleg" Big Surprise Here, the Palestinian so-called "Authority" is 100 Percent to Blame, Everything is their Fault, it's always their fault

"Arab terrorists live it up in Israeli prisons with workouts, entertainment, diplomatic visits"
July 30, 2019 the article says
Entertainment centers and exercise equipment, visits by diplomats and no oversight on books they read are some of the “perks” Arab terrorists enjoy.
By Batya Jerenberg, World Israel News
the article says
"Security prisoners in Israeli prisons are not exactly languishing as they serve time for terrorist acts, according to a just-released Israel Prison Service (IPS) report.
For example, over a hundred different exercise machines and several entertainment centers were recently distributed among the security wings, it said.
Each prisoner is also allowed to subscribe to one newspaper and one magazine “published in Israel.” This presumably includes pro-Palestinian Arab papers published in Jerusalem."
the article continues
"The report also noted that the names of diplomatic and consular officials who visit these prisoners will now be registered – something that has not been done until now. The security implications of this oversight is completely unknown.
The names of Israeli Knesset members who have paid terrorists a call in jail have been passed along to the Knesset’s legal adviser since 2010, but not the identities of whom they visited.
MK Basel Ghattas of the Arab Joint List was sentenced to two years in prison in 2017 for smuggling cellphones to Palestinian security prisoners.
In addition, the IPS report said the prison service didn’t know what books terrorist prisoners were reading after funding was cut for the computer program that registered books.
Visitation rights are more restricted. While some security prisoners get to see their families twice a month, Hamas and Islamic Jihad prisoners are only allowed monthly visits. Since 2017, those from the Gaza Strip get none at all, following an order from Internal Security Minister Gilad Erdan that was upheld in January by Israel’s High Court of Justice.
This was done to put pressure on Hamas to release the bodies of two soldiers, Hadar Goldin and Oron Shaul and two mentally ill men who went over the Gaza border in 2014 and 2015 respectively.
Erdan also vowed to limit the terrorists’ water privileges, among other restrictions, as he said they used “five times the amount of the average Israeli citizen” to purposely cause harm to the state, which is constantly short of water.
The IPS was forced to release these details in response to a Freedom of Information petition filed by the pro-Zionist organization Im Tirtzu
Im Tirtzu head Matan Peleg told the Mako news site that prison conditions resembled a “hotel.”
“It’s shameful to see the great conditions that terrorists get in Israeli prisons, paid for by the Israeli public,” he said, adding that it’s time for the government “to approve the recommendations of Minster Erdan’s committee to stop the terrorists’ partying in prisons.”
The IPS report said it was supplying the prisoners what was required by law."

"Arab kids radicalized in anti-Israel summer camp in heart of Jerusalem"

Arab kids radicalized in anti-Israel summer camp in heart of JerusalemPalestinian children waving flags. (Flash90/Aaed Tayeh)
Children learn Palestinian nationalism and inculcate anti-Israel beliefs in the heart of the country’s capital.
By Batya Jerenberg, World Israel News
The Palestinian Authority is funding an anti-Israel children’s summer camp in the eastern Jerusalem neighborhood of Issawiya, Ynet reported Tuesday.
About 100 local children ages 7-to-12 are being inculcated with Palestinian nationalistic messages, starting with the camp slogan “Our Home, Our Jerusalem,” the news site reports.
Each camp day starts with the singing of the Palestinian national anthem complete with a Palestinian flag raising. Counselors who hold Israeli identity cards, meaning Israeli citizenship, teach the campers that Israel’s founding is the “Nakba” (“Catastrophe” in Arabic).
They also lead the children in songs that include verses like, “This nation will not die – freedom, freedom, freedom. This nation wants freedom for our prisoners.” We will continue to stand with pride on all our land, without them shaming us on your land O Palestine.”
According to the report, the campers also go to Jericho to train with Palestinian police officers in a popular form of Israeli hand-to-hand combat called Krav Maga. Jericho is in Area A under complete Palestinian control, and by law Israeli citizens are not allowed to enter.
The camp is run by Silwan Women’s Center, which told Ynet that the goal of the camp is “to grow a leadership generation capable of leading to social change, and to give youth tools and skills in various areas of life.”
Maor Zemach, head of the Lach (“To You”) Jerusalem organization which wants to reinforce Israel’s sovereignty in the capital, called for the authorities to close the center immediately.
“The Palestinian Authority’s incitement in Jerusalem must be cut off quickly and with determination,” he said. “The education towards incitement and radicalization in eastern Jerusalem must be stopped.”
Issawiya is located at the foot of French Hill, next to Mount Scopus. Its citizens are considered permanent residents of the city and receive all Israeli benefits, such as social security and national health insurance.
Just a month ago, Israeli forces were attacked by a large mob of Arabs in the neighborhood who threw large rocks and live fireworks at them from a close range, endangering their lives. The police and Border Guard have arrested dozens of suspected terrorists there in recent months" Israeli Jews are NEVER told or taught to Hate or Kill Others, NEVER,
Israeli Jewish children are NEVER told or taught to hate others , but ugly Arab kids are
People have been saying that Israel is such a Great Nation, such a Cool Nation,
That Israel should Host the Olympic Games in the Near Future, !!! Israel should Host the Olympics !!! Both the Summer & Winter Olympics, Perhaps in Tel Aviv or Jerusalem, Of course there would have to be TONS & TONS of Security Everywhere, to Protect Everyone from Bloodthirsty Cold Blooded Arab & "Palestinian" Terrorists, TONS of Security & Preparation, Remember what the "Palestinian" Terrorists did in the 1972 Munich Olympics
I looked it up, since the Modern Olympic games began in 1896, there has Never been a Summer or Winter or any Olympic Games in Israel, It's about Time !!
"From the Wikipedia Entry for the Olympics it says under
"Olympic Games"
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The modern Olympic Games or Olympics (French: Jeux olympiques[1][2]) are leading international sporting events featuring summer and winter sports competitions in which thousands of athletes from around the world participate in a variety of competitions. The Olympic Games are considered the world's foremost sports competition with more than 200 nations participating.[3] The Olympic Games are held every four years, with the Summer and Winter Games alternating by occurring every four years but two years apart.
Their creation was inspired by the ancient Olympic Games, which were held in Olympia, Greece, from the 8th century BC to the 4th century AD. Baron Pierre de Coubertin founded the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 1894, leading to the first modern Games in Athens in 1896. The IOC is the governing body of the Olympic Movement, with the Olympic Charter defining its structure and authority.
The evolution of the Olympic Movement during the 20th and 21st centuries has resulted in several changes to the Olympic Games. Some of these adjustments include the creation of the Winter Olympic Games for snow and ice sports, the Paralympic Games for athletes with a disability, the Youth Olympic Games for athletes aged 14 to 18, the five Continental games (Pan American, African, Asian, European, and Pacific), and the World Games for sports that are not contested in the Olympic Games. The Deaflympics and Special Olympics are also endorsed by the IOC. The IOC has had to adapt to a variety of economic, political, and technological advancements. The abuse of amateur rules by the Eastern Bloc nations prompted the IOC to shift away from pure amateurism, as envisioned by Coubertin, to allowing participation of professional athletes. The growing importance of mass media created the issue of corporate sponsorship and commercialisation of the Games. World wars led to the cancellation of the 1916, 1940, and 1944 Games. Large boycotts during the Cold War limited participation in the 1980 and 1984 Games.[4]"

"Israel Deserves a Seat on the Security Council"
By DANNY DANON April 05, 2017
Danny Danon is Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations.
the article says
"December 23, 2016 marked a new nadir for the United Nations Security Council as it adopted a shameful resolution questioning the very legitimacy of Israel’s presence at the holy Western Wall in Jerusalem. Lost in the rancor of this resolution, however, was a statement Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had made 10 days earlier declaring Israel’s intent to compete for a nonpermanent seat on this very same Security Council.
Now, more than ever, it is time for Israel to take its place as a leader in the world’s premiere international organization. Our country is qualified, well equipped and well prepared for this important role.
We know this will not be easy. Resolutions and motions that are routinely passed by consensus at the U.N. when proposed by other countries are often subject to intense debate and wrangling when they are brought forward by the Jewish state. The enmity also extends to matters of leadership. The U.N. comprises five regional groups: Africa, Asia-Pacific, Eastern Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, and WEOG (Western Europe and Others). If a country is not a member of a regional group, it cannot be considered for leadership roles at the U.N. Though Israel has been a full member of the U.N. since 1949, for many years we were banned from joining our regional group of Asia-Pacific. It was not until 2000 that we were allowed to join WEOG on a temporary basis and then as full members in 2004.
Despite this official recognition, progress has been slow. It was only last year that I was elected to chair the Sixth (Legal) Committee, becoming the first Israeli to chair a U.N. permanent committee. What is usually a position confirmed by consensus became a protracted and complicated campaign in which we had to cajole and persuade 109 countries to cast their ballot for an Israeli.
With this victory as a model, Israel has set the ambitious goal of obtaining one of the three nonpermanent WEOG seats on the Security Council in 2019. To do so we must convince two-thirds of the General Assembly members of the worthiness of this cause."
the article continues
"Make no mistake about it, we are as deserving as any nation of this leadership role: Israel funds a higher percentage of the U.N. budget than the other 65 countries yet to serve on the Security Council combined. Moreover, few countries have Israel’s firsthand experience in the failures of the U.N.—and acute awareness of the possibilities were this organization to be set on the right path.
On our northern borders the peacekeeping forces of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon play a vital role in keeping volatile situations relatively stable. Still, this force has not lived up to its potential and must do much more to fulfill its mandates. Despite UNIFIL’s presence on the ground for decades, Hezbollah has been allowed to grow largely unchecked. The Iran-backed terrorist group’s aggressive posture led to war in 2006. And more recently, it has increased its arsenal from 7,000 rockets in 2006 at the end of the Second Lebanon War to almost 150,000 rockets today, aimed at our cities and towns.
This is why Israel fights tirelessly for the enforcement of Security Council resolution 1701, which stated that no foreign forces or arms are to enter Lebanon. UNIFIL troops must work with the Lebanese army to deploy throughout the south of the country up to the border with Israel. It is high time for Lebanon’s government to distance itself from the terrorists of Hezbollah and reclaim full sovereignty in its country. We know that this promises not only peace for us, but safety and stability for the people of Lebanon.
Our firsthand knowledge of the importance of the U.N. does not end with matters of war and peace. Israel’s willingness, and unique expertise, in humanitarian missions around the world is unparalleled.
Our sought-after technology has been used for everything from securing the pope’s visit to Africa, to helping to relieve terrible droughts. Whether it’s extracting survivors from a devastating earthquake in Turkey or treating the wounded from the typhoon in the Philippines, Israel is always first on site to help our fellow nations."
the article lastly says
"We believe that by playing a key leadership in the U.N.’s most important body, Israel can make real change in the international community—not just supplementing the efforts of other nations, but integrating our knowledge and know-how into the system itself.
The past few months have raised serious questions about the credibility of the U.N. as a whole and the Security Council in particular as it continues its unending obsession with Israel while paying way too little attention to the other ills of the world. By electing Israel to serve on the Security Council, the members of the U.N. will make a strong statement finally accepting the Jewish state as a full and equal member.
More important, the international community will gain a leader committed to tirelessly furthering the noble goals upon which the parliament of nations was founded almost 72 years ago."

"The Secret of Israel's Power" by Uzi Eilam
the Amazon.com description of the book says
"The successful track record of Israeli innovation policies, told from within.
This is the inside story on how Israel became a military technology powerhouse within less than two generations, told by Brigadier Uzi Eilam. The story blends the broad view of a person who led the creation of incredibly far-sighted R&D programs, with intimate portraits of the main players in a complex strategy that spans continents, corporations and armies.
Eilam’s story focuses on Israel’s decision to add technology to the military factor when creating attack and defense mechanisms, against its threats. Eilam also tells how Israel, with its persistence, courage and “chutzpa”, made a very successful journey and was able to create an internationally competitive space program.
More than any other account, this book explains how a very small country was able to make a concentrated use of its limited assets with astute leverage of international relationships while at the same time, create the backbone of Israeli civilian technology industries." Israel even has it's own Space Program !!!
From the Wikipedia Entry "Israel and the United Nations"
under "Allegations of bias"
Number of country-specific UN General Assembly resolutions concerned with the Middle East (Palestine, Israel, Lebanon, Syria) vs. total country-specific resolutions. The graph is additive.
Percentage of country-specific UN General Assembly resolutions concerned with the Middle East (Palestine, Israel, Lebanon, Syria)
See also: Human rights in Israel § United Nations, Criticism of the United Nations § Attention given to the Arab-Israeli conflict, and Criticism of the United Nations § Allegations of anti-Zionism and antisemitism
In recent years, the Middle East was the subject of 76% of country-specific General Assembly resolutions, 100% of the Human Rights Council resolutions, 100% of the Commission on the Status of Women resolutions, 50% of reports from the World Food Programme, 6% of United Nations Security Council resolutions and 6 of the 10 Emergency sessions.[68]
These decisions often criticize Israel for its "occupation of Palestinian land and its oppression of Palestinians." A number of observers have described this criticism as excessive. For example, according to the UN Association of the UK, General Assembly resolutions in the period 1990–2003 show bias against Israel, condemnation of violence against Palestinians, but only occasional discussion of violence against Israelis.[69] In addition, the UNHRC was criticized in 2007 for failing to condemn other alleged human rights abusers besides Israel.
The United States has been criticized as well by the OIC and other Arab organisations, for vetoing most Security Council decisions critical of Israel, the so-called Negroponte doctrine.[70][71] Since 1961, Israel has been barred from the Asian regional group. In 2000, it was offered limited membership in the Western European and Others Group. On 29 November 2012, the UN General Assembly adopted United Nations General Assembly resolution 67/19 changing Palestine's "entity" status to "non-member state" by a vote of 138 to 9, with 41 abstentions. Some sources claim that these measures implicitly recognised its sovereignty.[72][73]
In an interview on December 16, 2016, UN Secretary General, Ban Ki Moon, said that the UN has issued a "disproportionate volume of resolutions, reports and conferences criticizing Israel."[74]
In 2002, the PLO issued a report[75] comparing the international response to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict to similar situations in Bosnia, Kosovo, Kuwait, Rwanda, East Timor, and Iraq. It contended that the international community, and the Security Council in particular, displayed pro-Israel bias because, in these other cases, "the international community has both condemned violations of international law and has taken action to ensure that the violations cease. In the case of the Palestinian–Israeli conflict, however, while the same condemnations have been issued against Israel, absolutely no enforcement action has been taken."[76]"
and continues
"A 2005 report by the United States Institute of Peace on UN reform said that, contrary to the UN Charter's principle of equality of rights for all nations, Israel is denied rights enjoyed by all other member-states, and that a level of systematic hostility against it is routinely expressed, organized, and funded within the United Nations system.[77]
In a lecture at the 2003 UN conference on antisemitism, Anne Bayefsky said:
There has never been a single resolution about the decades-long repression of the civil and political rights of 1.3 billion people in China, or the more than a million female migrant workers in Saudi Arabia being kept as virtual slaves, or the virulent racism which has brought 600,000 people to the brink of starvation in Zimbabwe. Every year, UN bodies are required to produce at least 25 reports on alleged human rights violations by Israel, but not one on an Iranian criminal justice system which mandates punishments like crucifixion, stoning, and cross-amputation. This is not legitimate critique of states with equal or worse human rights records. It is demonization of the Jewish state.[78]
Legal scholar Robert A. Caplen wrote that institutional bias against Israel within the UN has deprived the country of its ability to exercise lawfully those rights accorded to member states under the UN Charter.[79]
In October 2010, Canada lost to Portugal in a vote for a seat at the Security Council. Several observers attributed this loss to the pro-Israel policy of Canada at the UN,[80][81][82] including Canadian PM Stephen Harper.[83]
On August 16, 2013, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon stated in a meeting with Israeli students that there was a biased attitude towards the Israeli people and Israeli government at the UN. He described this as "an unfortunate situation."[84] A few days later, Ban Ki-Moon retracted those comments, stating: "I don't think there is discrimination against Israel at the United Nations".[85]"

"Newt Gingrich right on Palestinians as invented people, says Hoover’s Daniel Pipes"
By Allen McDuffee December 12, 2011
the article says
"Newt Gingrich made waves last week when he referred to the Palestinians as an “invented” people, and while not everyone is jumping to his rescue, at least one think tanker is.
Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich has come under fire for saying that Palestinians are an “invented” people. (Charlie Neibergall/Associated Press)
“Remember, there was no Palestine as a state. It was part of the Ottoman Empire. We have invented the Palestinian people, who are in fact Arabs and are historically part of the Arab people, and they had the chance to go many places,” said Newt Gingrich in an interview with the Jewish Channel.
The remarks drew broad criticism from the left and the right. However, the Hoover Institution’s Daniel Pipes insists Gingrich was right in what he said.
Everyone from the PLO to a Mitt Romney spokesman jumped on Gingrich for this assertion, but he happens to be absolutely correct: No Arabic-speaking Muslims identified themselves as “Palestinian” until 1920, when, in rapid order, this appellation and identity was adopted by the Muslim Arabs living in the British mandate of Palestine.
Pipes cites two of his own articles to bolster his argument.
Gingrich reiterated his position during Saturday’s GOP presidential debate.
“Is what I said factually correct? Yes. Is it historically true? Yes,” Gingrich said. “We are in a situation where every day, rockets are fired into Israel while the United States – the current administration – tries to pressure the Israelis into a peace process.” Countless People wish the "Palestinians" were Never Invented, the "Palestinians" were actually invented right after the 1967 Six Day War Started by the Arab Nations

"The Palestinian People are Made Up? Yeah. Here’s the proof from their leader’s mouths…"
by Tov Rose
the article says
"Does the Palestinian People Exist in History?
Israel took no one’s land. The “Occupied West Bank” is propaganda. The land has been known for nearly 3000 years as Judea and Samaria. Judea is the origin of the word, Jews. It is the native homeland of all Jewish people.
I challenge you to think through this carefully and consider where your research leads you: Share with us the History, culture, currencies, music, art and traditions of this “Palestinian people”? If you can.
Share with us archaeological findings showing their history? Share with us the long history of their documented Kings, Dictators, or other leaders? Share the major milestones of their documented history?
I doubt you will be able to do any of this, but please do enlighten us if I am wrong?
To the best of my knowledge, the PLO leader, Yasir Arafat, for the first time in history, declared that this “Palestinian People” existed in a speech on June 4, 1967.
“Why is it that on June 4th 1967 I was a Jordanian and overnight I became a Palestinian?”
“We did not particularly mind Jordanian rule. The teaching of the destruction of Israel was a definite part of the curriculum, but we considered ourselves Jordanian until the Jews returned to Jerusalem. Then all of the sudden we were Palestinians – they removed the star from the Jordanian flag and all at once we had a Palestinian flag.” “When I finally realized the lies and myths I was taught, it is my duty as a righteous person to speak out”. – Walid Shoebat, a former PLO terrorist
“There has never been a land known as Palestine governed by Palestinians. Palestinians are Arabs, indistinguishable from Jordanians (another recent invention), Syrians, Iraqis, etc. Keep in mind that the Arabs control 99.9 percent of the Middle East lands. Israel represents one-tenth of one percent of the landmass. But that’s too much for the Arabs. They want it all. And that is ultimately what the fighting in Israel is about today… No matter how many land concessions the Israelis make, it will never be enough”.
– Joseph Farah, “Myths of the Middle East” –
the article continues
"“You do not represent Palestine as much as we do. Never forget this one point: There is no such thing as a Palestinian people, there is no Palestinian entity, there is only Syria. You are an integral part of the Syrian people, Palestine is an integral part of Syria. Therefore it is we, the Syrian authorities, who are the true representatives of the Palestinian people”.
– Syrian dictator Hafez Assad to the PLO leader Yassir Arafat –
“As I lived in Palestine, everyone I knew could trace their heritage back to the original country their great grandparents came from. Everyone knew their origin was not from the Canaanites, but ironically, this is the kind of stuff our education in the Middle East included. The fact is that today’s Palestinians are immigrants from the surrounding nations! I grew up well knowing the history and origins of today’s Palestinians as being from Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Christians from Greece, muslim Sherkas from Russia, muslims from Bosnia, and the Jordanians next door. My grandfather, who was a dignitary in Bethlehem, almost lost his life by Abdul Qader Al-Husseni (the leader of the Palestinian revolution) after being accused of selling land to Jews. He used to tell us that his village Beit Sahur (The Shepherds Fields) in Bethlehem County was empty before his father settled in the area with six other families. The town has now grown to 30,000 inhabitants”.
– Walid Shoebat, an “ex-Palestinian” Arab –
Here are some more thoughts that I hope you don’t ignore:
“What’s more, many of the “Palestinians”, or their immediate ancestors, came to the area attracted by the prosperity created by the Jews, in what previously had been pretty much of a wasteland.”
– New York Times, June 12, 2000
“There is no such country [as Palestine]! ‘Palestine’ is a term the Zionists invented! There is no Palestine in the Bible. Our country was for centuries part of Syria.” – Auni Bey Abdul-Hadi, a local Arab leader, to the Peel Commission, 1937
“It is common knowledge that Palestine is nothing but southern Syria.” – Ahmed Shuqeiri, later the chairman of the PLO, to the UN Security Council "

"The Dirty Little Secret: Palestinians Don’t Exist!"
Posted by Don Boys on October 8, 2012
the article says
"There is no such group as the Palestinian people. They have never existed, do not exist now, and will not exist in the future. They are the only people in all history that came into existence in a single day! This was admitted by Walid Shoebat, a former PLO terrorist: “Why is it that on June 4th 1967 I was a Jordanian and overnight I became a Palestinian?” He added that he did not mind Jordanian rule.
He and his compatriots were Jordanians “until the Jews returned to Jerusalem. Then all of the sudden we were Palestinians.” Shoebat was saying that when the Jews re-took their historic and biblical homeland, the myth of an Arab Palestinian nation was created out of thin air and promoted worldwide. The gullible media, too lazy to do the research, still spouts the PLO line about the “Palestinian people.”
It is political humbug. Those people who are identified as “Palestinians” are simply refugees from Jordan, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia. However, there are millions of these people who were born in refugee camps and have been taught they are “Palestinians.” But they are not. In 1948 and the1950s, displaced Arabs lived in abject squalor in refugee camps (supposed to be temporary) under the custodial care of the United Nations. Muslim leaders did not care about them until it became politically expedient to do so. There are no Palestinian people, or history, or culture, or coinage, or language, or uncovered artifacts. Palestinians don’t exist and never have. Muslims and media that promote “Palestinians” are repeating a falsehood and resisting the facts.
It must be emphasized that God loves Arabs as much as He does Jews; however, Jews have a special place in His plan. His plan was to redeem man through the sacrificial death and resurrection of His Son. Those “Palestinian” leaders who spout hatred for every non-Muslim are loved by God even if men have trouble loving them."
the article continues
"Israel was originally called the “land of Canaan” (Gen. 12:5), the “land of Israel” (1 Sam. 13:19), and the “land of Judah” (Isa. 19:17). The first century Jews had a thing about being under the thumb of the Romans (or anyone) so they seethed in constant hatred and rebellion against their oppressors. The Roman Emperor Hadrian was understandably (from his totalitarian view) displeased with the rebellious Jews and wanted to erase the name of Israel and Judah from history and the face of the Earth. He decided to ridicule them by renaming the land of Israel, “Syria Palaestina” identifying them with their hated enemy, the Philistines. Whatever Rome called the land, the Jews were still Jews.
It is from the term “Philistines” that the name “Palestinians” has been taken. Emperor Hadrian knew that Philistines were ancient enemies of the Jews and therefore the emperor showed his hatred and spite by giving Israel a new obnoxious name. Philistines were not Arabs (and were in fact, invaders from Crete) and there is no mention of Palestine until the first century. Palestinians are not mentioned in the Bible or Koran because they did not exist until after 1967.
In 135 Hadrian put down a Jewish rebellion by killing 580,000 Jews, leveled 985 villages and 50 fortified towns. That is why Jewish writers always refer to him by saying, “may his bones be crushed.” Psalm 83:3-4 probably prophesied Hadrian’s oppressive actions: “They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.”
It didn’t work and never will work. Zachariah 2:8 warns: “For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.” Jews, even while in rebellion, are special to God. Jews are forever!
God promised (and warned) in Genesis 12:3: “And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee.” Hitler and all Jew-haters discovered that verse to be literally true.” Earlier Americans learned that truth while Muslim nations have not. The results are obvious.
The “Palestinians” are bogus, a political show, and it’s time to pull the curtain on the charade"
Some Online Actual Quotes
"Jordan is Palestine. Palestine is Jordan.
This is the royal decree and sentiments of two of the kings of Jordan.
"Palestine and Jordan are one..." said King Abdullah in 1948.
"The truth is that Jordan is Palestine and Palestine is Jordan," said King Hussein of Jordan, in 1981.
Let's closely examine the facts of history from the Arab perspective, rather than the Jewish one, regarding Jordan and Palestine.
"Palestine is Jordan and Jordan is Palestine; there is only one land, with one history and one and the same fate," Prince Hassan of the Jordanian National Assembly was quoted as saying on February 2, 1970.
Accordingly, Abdul Hamid Sharif, Prime Minister of Jordan declared, in 1980, "The Palestinians and Jordanians do not belong to different nationalities. They hold the same Jordanian passports, are Arabs and have the same Jordanian culture."
In other words, Jordan is Palestine. Arab Palestine. There is absolutely no difference between Jordan and Palestine, nor between Jordanians and Palestinians (all actually Arabs).
This fact is also confirmed by other Arabs, Jordanians and 'Palestinans' who were either rulers or scholars.
"There should be a kind of linkage because Jordanians and Palestinians are considered by the PLO as one people," according to Farouk Kaddoumi, then head of the PLO Political Department, who gave the statement to Newsweek on March 14, 1977.
Distinguished Arab-American Princeton University historian Philip Hitti testified before the Anglo-American Committee, "There is no such thing as 'Palestine' in history."
According to Arab-American columnist Joseph Farah, "Palestine has never existed - before or since - as an autonomous entity. It was ruled alternately by Rome, by Islamic and Christian crusaders, by the Ottoman Empire, and briefly by the British after World War I. The British agreed to restore at least part of the land to the Jewish people as their homeland. There was no language known as Palestinian. There was no distinct Palestinian culture. There has never been a Palestine governed by the Palestinians. Palestinians are Arabs, indistinguishable from Jordanians (another recent invention), Syrians, Lebanese, Iraqis, etc."
These authoritative, honest statements are by Arabs, Jordanians and Palestinians, and absolutely must be taken at their face value and word."
More FACTS from the article on IsraelNationalNews.com
"All right, so you're not quite into quotes. How about these tasteful tidbits of historical facts?
* Jews, not Arabs, have lived continuously in the ancient Biblical Promised Land of Israel, especially Judea and Samaria, for 3,700 years. This land was given as a gift by G-d to the Children of Israel (Hebrews, Israelites, Jews) and is so stated in all of the three monotheistic religions' holy books - Old Testament, New Testament and Quran. Faithful followers of Judaism, Christianity and Islam all believe in the same one G-d and therefore must believe the word of their G-d. G-d does not make and break his promises. There is a very valuable lesson to be learned by all his children and faithful followers.
* The current queen of Jordan is an Arab 'Palestinian'.
* Approximately half of Jordan's prime ministers since 1950 have been Arab 'Palestinians'.
* More than 2/3 of the Jordanian people are Arab 'Palestinians'.
* The majority of citizens residing in the capital of Amman are Arab 'Palestinians'.
* Arab 'Palestinians' constitute not less than one half of the members of the armed forces, according to the late King Hussein, as broadcast on Amman Radio February 3, 1973.
* The majority of other security forces are Arab 'Palestinians'.
* Jordan occupies 77% of the original Palestine Mandate (originally promised to the Jewish people). The population density of Jordan is less than 61 people per square mile leaving lots of room to absorb many more of their brethren and cousins.
Want to delve even deeper? Let's explore further. We all need to refresh our memory, as 'short-term syndrome' has taken over. Now for a little history lesson, for those who do not recall the reality of the past.
The British tried to placate the Arabs by giving them part of the land designated under the Palestine Mandate (originally allocated under the Balfour Declaration for the establishment of a Jewish homeland). Britain created an entirely new province by severing 77% of historic Palestine (and an additional 3% was also allocated to Syria), on the eastern bank of the Jordan River (some 35,000 square miles), and establishing the state of Transjordan."
the article on www.israelnationalnews.com lastly says
"Faisal, who had been King of Syria, was deposed by the French, so the British offered him the throne of Iraq, which he accepted. Faisal's brother Abdullah was installed as the new nation of Transjordan's ruler on April 1, 1921 (April Fool's Day), thereby completing the appeasement of Arab rulers.
During the Arab-Israeli war of 1948, in which nine Arab nations attacked Israel, they took control of the ancient biblical territories of Judea and Samaria (Jewish territory, which was "occupied" for nineteen years until 1967, when it was liberated and reconquered in yet another defensive war).
On April 24, 1950, Abdullah formally merged all of Arab-held Palestine with Transjordan and granted citizenship to all Arab residents and settlers (the vast majority of whom arrived the 1920s for economic reasons).
The Hashemite Kingdom was no longer only across the river so the prefix "Trans" (meaning "across") was dropped, and henceforth, the land became known as Jordan; i.e., Arab Palestine.

"WATCH: KUWAITI WRITER SAYS ISRAEL IS A LEGITIMATE STATE, NOT AN OCCUPIER"

Abdullah Al-Hadlaq on Alrai TV. (MEMRI)
"A Kuwaiti writer challenged the Arab states' longstanding solidarity against Israel Sunday in interview with Kuwait's Alrai TV channel, calling the Jewish state "independent and sovereign."
"Like it or not, Israel is an independent and sovereign state," Abdullah Al-Hadlaq said. "It exists, and it has a seat at the United Nations, and most peace-loving and democratic countries recognize it."
The countries that don't recognize Israel, Al-Hadlaq said, are "the countries of tyranny and oppression," citing North Korea as an example.
The interview, translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute, was posted on Facebook by both MEMRI and Alrai TV. Al-Hadlaq was assailed in Alrai TV's comments section, but praised on MEMRI's page, as viewers expressed shock and thanked the writer.
"Finally, an Arab thinker and writer who lives in the real world, recognizes the real world and believes in common sense," wrote one commenter.
Al-Hadlaq expressed admiration for the Jewish state, its values and its institutions. Specifically, he cited the 2011 Gilad Schalit prisoner swap, in which Israel traded 1,027 Palestinian prisoners for one Israeli soldier, who had been held in captivity for five years in Gaza, as an example of the value Israel places on the lives of its people.
He pushed back at the narrative that Jews plundered Israel from the Palestinians, citing Quranic verses to back his case.
“When the State of Israel was established in 1948, there was no state called ‘Palestine,'” he said.
“There is no occupation," he added. "There is a people returning to its promised land.”
The land of Israel was promised to the Jews by "Allah," Al-Hadlaq said, even going as far as to implicate the Palestinians of doing the plundering themselves.
Al-Hadlaq also supports "annihilating" Hezbollah, he said" Good Article with a good video

"Israel not ‘occupier’ of Judea and Samaria, say experts"
December 28, 2017
Israel has never referred to Judea and Samaria, territories conquered in the Six Day War, as “occupied.”
By Steve Leibowitz, World Israel News
"The US State Department is continuing to deny it has any difference of opinion with US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman over the usage of the word “occupied” to describe the territories of Judea and Samaria.
Officials in Washington say that the Trump administration remains committed to facilitating a comprehensive peace agreement and calls reports that Friedman has asked that they drop the word “occupied” as “misleading.”
The controversy began when Israel Radio reported on Tuesday that Friedman had asked the US State Department to stop calling Israel’s control over Judea and Samaria an “occupation” in official documents and statements. Friedman has used the term “alleged occupation” when speaking about the territories in the Israeli media.
“Occupied” is a loaded political phrase that indicates, just by its usage, that Israel is the “occupier” and not the legal sovereign in territories in the Land of Israel that were captured by the Israeli army during the Six Day War in 1967. The “territories” remain in dispute and have been the subject of a series of peace negotiations and a few partial agreements including the Oslo accords signed in 1995 between Israel and the Palestinians. Israel uses the biblically and geographically correct term “Judea and Samaria” when referring to the territories in question.
Judea and Samaria Not ‘Occupied’
International legal expert and former Israeli ambassador to Canada Alan Baker told World Israel News (WIN), “Friedman is completely correct. The word ‘occupation’ refers to an army taking military control over some other countries sovereign territory. Israel has a unique historic connection to Judea and Samaria.” According to Baker, “The correct term should be ‘disputed territory.’”
Dan Diker from the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs (JCPA) told WIN, “We at the JCPA use the term ‘disputed territories’ to refer to Judea and Samaria or the so-called ‘West Bank.’ Friedman is advancing Trump administration policy to correct past mistakes and misconceptions of American diplomats. Since the Oslo Accords in 1995, the most densely Palestinian populated areas in the territories are designated as ‘Area A’ and ‘Area B,’ which are under Palestinian autonomy, and are certainly not legally occupied, ” Diker says."
the article continues
"It makes perfect sense that the phraseology be changed. ‘Occupied’ is correct for example when the allied forces occupied Nazi Germany during World War Two, or when Germany occupied nations in Europe. Quite simply, it’s when the army of one country occupies another sovereign country.”
Veteran Israeli diplomat Yoram Ettinger says that it is correct to use the term “occupation” when referring to Judea and Samaria, but only when referring to Jordanian occupation between 1948-1967.
“In the War of Independence Jordan invaded and occupied Judea, Samaria and eastern Jerusalem,” said Ettinger adding, “These were areas designated by the League of Nations to be part of the Jewish homeland. After the war, Jordan went even further by formally annexing the disputed land in 1950. Israel captured the territory from the illegal Jordanian occupiers who tried to invade Israel in 1967.
State Department Arabists vs. US Ambassador to Israel
Mark Zell, who heads Republicans in Israel, told WIN, “Ambassador Friedman is fighting back against bureaucratic inertia and State Department Arabists. I am glad that he took this initiative even though he is only taking the half-way approach by using the term ‘West Bank territories’ instead of ‘occupied territories.’”
According to Zell, Friedman is not the first US official to challenge the State Department terminology. “When Donald Rumsfeld was Secretary of Defense he used the phrase ‘so-called occupied territories.’ It’s worthwhile and gets people thinking about the State Department prejudices and Friedman is to be credited,” Zell said.
Judea and Samaria activist Yisrael Medad says that Israel can help change the terminology by taking action. “Israel must officially declare sovereignty in Judea and Samaria. Until they do its unreasonable to expect the State Department to stop calling it ‘occupied territory.’ Even after Trump announced his recognition of Jerusalem as the Israeli capital, the State Department still does not recognize Israeli sovereignty even in the western side of Jerusalem. They say borders must be determined in negotiations so even Jerusalem remains ‘occupied.’”

"The IDF is the most ethical army in world, say military experts"
the article says
"Israel fought an "exemplary campaign" during the Gaza conflict last year, an independent group of former military leaders has concluded.
A report by the High Level Military Group (HLMG), made up of 11 former military personnel from five continents and a former UN war crimes prosecutor, was compiled this summer after six fact-finding trips.
It was produced following discussions with members of the Israeli government including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, briefings from Israeli commanders who led ground operations, and investigations into Hamas's methods of warfare and propaganda.
The former officials, who held top positions in the American, British, German, Italian, Spanish, French, Indian, Australian and Colombian defence forces, said they had a level of access that was "undoubtedly in excess of what our own countries would afford in similar circumstances".
As well as stating that Israel operated "within the parameters of the Law of Armed Conflict" and had "in some respects exceeded the highest standards we set for our own nations' militaries", the group unanimously agreed that the military response was reasonable.
"No country would accept the threat against its civilian population that these rockets present to Israeli population centres," the report said.
"Israel's efforts were entirely justified, appropriately conceived and lawfully carried out, and necessary in the defence of that country's national security."
The HLMG, which included the previous chairman of Nato's Military Committee, Klaus Naumann, condemned Hamas for "flagrantly disregarding" international laws and committing "war crimes … such as the summary execution of those it accused of collaborating with Israel".
Graph showing rocket launches from Gaza into Israel between 2001-2014
They found that "the entire military machinery of Hamas was embedded in civilian locations, private homes and a plethora of sensitive sites such as medical facilities, mosques and schools", and that this amounted to a strategy aimed at damaging Israel's international reputation.
To this end, "Hamas actively sought the death of its own citizens [and] conducted a highly effective information campaign which included coercion of Gaza-based journalists".
the article continues
"The group placed blame for the thousands of casualties on Hamas, stating that the "terrorist-army hybrid" formed by the Gazan governing party "broke every single ceasefire during the conflict, whether official or humanitarian.
"The vast majority of casualties could have been avoided had Hamas heeded Israel's repeated appeals through third party intermediaries prior and during the conflict to de-escalate."
HLMG rapporteur Davis Lewin said many in the group even feared that Israel had created an unrealistically high standard for protecting civilians.
"Some of the precautions were so extensive they worried that they could become norms in international law in terms of having to fight their own battles elsewhere."
He said that the report, the first of three examining wars between democratic armies and groups which "don't respect life or armed conflict laws", was collated with the aim of going beyond the UN and the media's reactions to the conflict.
The UN Independent Commission of Inquiry report, he said, was "frankly illiterate about warfare and international law. It was an utterly unacceptable, weaponised effort of ideologically motivated people in the UN to damage Israel and therefore damage the West.
"There are stipulations in there which not even an amateur would accept as being necessary, particularly their claim that Israel should reveal all their intelligence for the UN to assess whether each individual strike was a crime or not. No military and no democratic nation would take that seriously."
He called the media's coverage "entirely predictable and deeply problematic", adding that "it displayed a high degree of bias, doing a deep disservice not only to peace but also to the interests of democratic nations by misrepresenting an unprecedented effort to uphold the legality and morality of war against these enemies."
He added that the West could learn lessons from the report to use in its war against Daesh, as "the Israelis are probably the leading experts in urban warfare in terms of protecting civilians and trying to root out the terrorists embedded among them."
However, Mr Lewin warned that "the West could not hope to emulate the precautions Israel brought to bear.
"The West doesn't have the capabilities to not kill civilians - they don't have the phone numbers of people in Raqqa to call or text them warnings like Israel did with people in Gaza."
He also said it was crucial for democratic nations to take control of "the narratives around the conflict, ensuring an accurate narrative on the part of any democratic army fighting an enemy of this kind."

"HERE IS WHY THE IDF IS THE MOST MORAL ARMY IN THE WORLD"
For those of you who are feeding off international news agencies, there is no doubt that you have been fed a very biased and negative view of the IDF. The truth is, as a 23-year veteran and current active IDF reserves soldier in an elite IDF Paratroopers Unit, I can tell you firsthand about the dangers we put ourselves into in order to keep the civilian population of our enemies safe.
War pictures are never pretty and you will never come out of a war smiling, even if you win.
Even when we are forced to take a terrorist’s life, it is not a pretty sight and the fact that we are put into a situation where we must take a human life is, in and of itself, horrible and unforgiving.
golda-meir
This is not Golda Meir’s opinion, this is the opinion of every mother and father who send their sons and daughters off to defend and protect Israel from enemies that seek our destruction.
Israel never wanted war, Israel never instigated war and Israel would be happy never to have to fight another war again.
Unfortunately, Israel’s enemies have yet to give up on the hope of destroying our little Jewish country and we are proud to stand strong and defend ourselves. The days when we were reliant on the mercy of outsiders are simply over. Our soldiers proudly wear the uniform of the Israel DEFENSE Forces and they stand tall as they protect the people of Israel while keeping the highest moral standards.
SO WHAT HAPPENED IN GAZA?
WAR HAPPENED!
Israel responded to over 10,000 rockets that were shot at civilian cities in Israel since Israel’s complete withdrawal in 2005. Hamas rockets were not aiming at IDF bases or military personnel, they were aiming at Israel’s civilian population. There is not a single government in the world that would sit back and allow this to happen for the amount of time Israel did.
The IDF sent in ground troops even though the risks to our own soldiers was great. We did not and do not carpet-bomb; we send in our troops because our morality does not allow us to NOT take into account the lives of innocent people.
IDF sent warnings leaflets and phone calls to Gazan civilians letting them know that due to terrorist activity and missile fire idf-leafletscoming from their buildings, they are being asked to evacuate before we attack. What country in the world allows their own element of surprise to disappear because of their concern for the enemy’s civilian population?
Yes, innocent people unfortunately die in war, but Israel did everything in its power as to not harm the un-involved civilian population. IDF called off numerous airstrikes that could have taken out terrorists and missile launchers as well as treated scores of civilians injured in Gaza in Israeli hospitals.
Our concern for human life is exactly why our enemies use their own civilian population as human shields and their houses as missile launching bases – they know how much we care.
Who Am I Trying To Convince?
Those who serve in the IDF as well as parents and friends who know IDF soldiers do not need to be convinced about what our soldiers do to try and not harm innocent civilians. For those who are anti-Israel, the only outcome they would be satisfied with is what happened to the kidnapped IDF soldiers. So who am I trying to convince? No one!
It’s not only IDF soldiers who know the IDF is the most moral army in the world; listen to what Col. Richard Kemp, former commander of British forces in Afghanistan, had to say about how the IDF forces behaved in last yea’rs Gaza war.
We at Standing Together understand the personal sacrifice IDF soldiers make when protecting Israel. That is why we made it our goal to support the men and women of the IDF with whatever they need, wherever they might be. If you, like us, want to show appreciation to Israel’s heroes, join us in any one of our current IDF campaigns."

"GAZA: DISTORTION OF THE TRUTH"
18TH MAY 2018 the article says
"Speech made by Colonel Richard Kemp at the emergency session of the United Nations Human Rights Council on the deteriorating situation in Gaza on 18 May 2018
I commanded British troops in Afghanistan, Iraq, the Balkans and Northern Ireland and served with NATO and the UN. I’ve come straight from the Gaza front line to share my assessment.
Based on what I observed, I can say that everything we just heard here is a complete distortion of the truth. The truth is that Hamas, a terrorist organization that seeks the destruction of Israel and murder of Jews everywhere, deliberately caused over 60 of its own people to get killed.
They sent thousands of civilians to the front line — as human shields for terrorists trying to break through the border. Hamas’s goal, in their own words, was, quote, ‘blood… in the path of Jihad’. I ask every country in this Council: you have all been telling us that Israel should have reacted differently. But how would you respond if a Jihadist terror group sent thousands to flood your borders, and gunmen to massacre your communities?
Your failure to admit that Hamas is responsible for every drop of blood spilt on the Gaza border encourages their violence and use of human shields. It makes you complicit in further bloodshed. If Israel had allowed these mobs to break through the fence, the IDF would then have been forced to defend their own civilians from slaughter and many more Palestinians would have been killed.
Israel’s actions therefore saved lives of Gazans; and if this Council really cared about human rights, it should commend the Israel Defence Force for that, not condemn them on the basis of lies."

Israel is the third most educated country, according to 2017 data compiled by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
OECD calculated the percentage of each country’s population between the ages of 25 and 64 who have completed a two- or four-year degree beyond high school – including both academic and vocational programs.
The data shows that 50.9 percent of Israelis in the target age bracket have a higher-education degree. The report noted that Jewish Israelis enter college at a later age than most Western counterparts because most serve in the military for at least two years after high school.
The United States came in at No. 5, with only 46.4 percent of its population in the target age group having completed a higher-education program – even though half of the world’s top-ranking universities are American.
South Korea came in at No. 4, with 47.7% having completed a higher-education program, but it tops the list of most educated people aged 25-34 (66.6%).
Japan is No. 2 (51.4%) and the most educated country in the world is Canada (56.7.%) – although Canada faces an overeducation, underemployment problem."

"(Tea Party PAC) – It is disgusting how the left treats minorities and people of color just for supporting Trump.
The people who claim to oppose fascism couldn’t be more facistic themselves, calling into question whether or not the only thing they really oppose is true liberty and morals.
Jewish model Elizabeth Pipko is the leader of the pro-Trump movement “Jexodus” for former Democratic Jews who are sick and tired of the party’s antisemitism and lies.
However, the model and activist says that there has been a violent backlash to her public support of Trump.
“I get a lot of death threats, rape threats and other things I never thought I’d receive,” Pipko told The Times of Israel. “
I’m doing this for my people — not to sound cliché — for my parents and grandparents, who escaped to come to America so they wouldn’t have to worry about their children being faced with anti-Semitism”, she opened up.”
Pipko, like Candace Owens with the Blexit movement, seeks to guide the 80% of Jews who traditionally vote Democrat away from the party"
The article also quotes Elizabeth Pipko as saying
"It’s pretty ironic how the left constantly calls Trump an antisemite, when he, as Never Trumper Ben Shaprio even admits, is the most philosemitic president in our nation’s history.
Sure, the man who moved the US Embassy to Jerusalem and has a settlement in the Golan Heights is named after him is a “vile antisemite,” whatever you say."
The article also said about Elizabeth Pipko that
"Elizabeth Pipko, a 23-year-old whom Jexodus’s website describes as an “international model, Trump 2016 campaign staffer, poet, patriot, and fiercely proud millennial Jew.” People have been saying, it's time American Jews Leave the Democrat party, if the Democrat party hates Jews and the State of Israel, & tolerates Jew-Hate & Anti-Semitism, why should Jews have anything to do with the Democrat party, ?

"The speaker of the Lebanese parliament told an anti-Semitic joke during an interview and said Israelis love their land less than the Lebanese because they stay away from the border.
Nabih Berri, a leader of the pro-Hezbollah Amal movement, made the racist reference to Jews during an interview with the Al Joumhouria newspaper published Wednesday.
Asked why Israel agreed this week to a demarcation process of its naval border with Lebanon – a process with implications for Israel’s offshore reserves of natural gas – Berri replied: “Once someone asked, how do you recognize the Jew? This is the answer he got: If you see a pregnant woman, simply approach her and place a piece of gold on the ground. If the fetus jumps out of the mother’s womb and picks it up, you know immediately that it’s a Jew.”
In the interview, Berri also said that he told a delegation of American officials during a tour of the border area to note how close to the border with Israel villagers live and farm. That’s because, he told the newspaper, the Israelis “barely approach these borders and if they approach them, they come to infiltrate, because the land is not theirs.”
But, “On the Lebanese side, you will see with your own eyes how much our land is dear to us. You will see where we are, we build our homes, build them directly on the border, and we are not afraid because it is our land."

"Op-Ed: Israel isn’t, and will never be, an apartheid state"
Apartheid
(Anthony Russo / For The Times)
By MICHAEL OREN
MAY 17, 2014 5 AM
"Reporting from Tel Aviv — The war against Israel has passed through three phases.
The first was the attempt to annihilate Israel by conventional means. It began with Israel’s birth in 1948, when Arab armies nearly captured Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, and ended in the 1973 Yom Kippur War, when Israeli forces came within artillery range of Cairo and Damascus.
The next stage, starting in the early 1970s, sought to cripple Israel through terror. Suicide bombers nearly paralyzed the country, but by 2005 they too were defeated.
That is when Israel’s enemies launched the third, and potentially most devastating, campaign: to isolate, delegitimize and sanction Israel into extinction. And a key weapon in this stage is the hugely destructive word “apartheid.”
Translated from Afrikaans, apartheid means “apart-hood.” It stemmed from the deeply held racist beliefs of South African whites who, in the half-century after World War II, imposed strict legal barriers between themselves and all black people. The segregation was total: separate restaurants, separate toilets and drinking fountains, separate houses, hospitals and schools. Blacks were denied the right to vote. The system resembled the American South under Jim Crow and outlived it by several decades. Thereafter, “apartheid” remained synonymous with undiluted racism, second only in hatefulness to Nazism.
Today, the word “apartheid” is wielded by Israel’s enemies to delegitimize the Jewish state. Adversaries point to the separation between Israeli settlers and Palestinian residents of the West Bank, separate Israeli and Palestinian roads, and separate schools, hospitals and legal systems. Although Israelis can elect their leaders, opponents of Israel say, Palestinians cannot. They claim that Israel has erected an “apartheid wall” between Jewish and Arab areas.
Yet none of this even remotely resembles apartheid. The vast majority of settlers and Palestinians choose to live apart because of cultural and historical differences, not segregation, though thousands of them do work side by side. The separate roads were created in response to terrorist attacks — not to segregate Palestinians but to save Jewish lives. And Israeli roads are used by Israeli Jews and Arabs alike. The separation of schools is, again, a cultural choice similar to that made by secular and Orthodox Jews and Muslim and Christian Palestinians. Many Palestinians, however, study in Israeli institutions such as Ariel University, located in a settlement. Thousands of Palestinians, many of them from Hamas-controlled Gaza, are treated at Israeli hospitals."
the article continues
"Israelis can indeed vote for their leaders, and so too can the Palestinians, but the Palestinian Authority has refused to hold elections for years. Palestinians are indeed tried under Israeli (originally British) military codes for security infractions, but other cases are referred to Palestinian courts. And even on security-related issues, Palestinians can appeal to Israel’s Supreme Court.
Israel has erected a security barrier — only a small section is actually walled — between it and most of the West Bank. But the barrier, a vital counter-terrorism tool, is not permanent and has been moved several times to accommodate Palestinian interests. It is no more an apartheid wall than the fence between the United States and Mexico.
The West Bank represents a complex historical, humanitarian and security situation that six Israeli prime ministers from both the left and right have tried to resolve. Unfortunately, Palestinian leaders turned down Israeli offers of statehood in 2000 and 2008, and have now abandoned peace talks in favor of reunification with Hamas. They aspire to create a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza from which all Jews have been expelled. That is truly apartheid.
Outside of the West Bank, in Jerusalem and elsewhere in Israel, Jews and Arabs mix freely and increasingly live in the same neighborhoods. Arabs serve in Israel’s parliament, in its army and on its Supreme Court. And though discrimination in Israel , as in America, remains a scourge, there is no imposed segregation. Go to any Israeli mall, any restaurant or hospital, and you will see Arabs and Jews interacting.
This reality has not prevented Israel’s enemies from branding it with the apartheid label. They do so not to achieve a better peace arrangement with Israel but to isolate it internationally and to eliminate it through sanctions. We Jews remember how each attempt to obliterate us, whether in the Inquisition or during the Holocaust, was preceded by a campaign to delegitimize us. People who practice apartheid are easily considered illegitimate.
Israel is not an apartheid state and will not become one, even if the Palestinians continue to reject peace. However unwittingly, those who associate apartheid with Israel are aiding the third and perhaps ultimate stage in the effort to destroy the nation. They are also committing a grave injustice to the millions of American and South African blacks who were the victims of true apartheid."

"10 Reasons Israel is NOT an 'Apartheid' State"
Another Website has an article titled
"Response To Common Inaccuracy: Israel is an Apartheid State
Inaccuracy: Israel is an apartheid state and should be fought in the same manner that apartheid in South Africa was fought – through divestment, boycott and other punitive economic measures.
Response
The treatment of Arabs by the State of Israel cannot be compared in any way to the treatment of the black majority in South Africa under apartheid. There is no Israeli ideology, policy or plan to segregate, persecute or mistreat the Arab population.
Apartheid was a uniquely repressive system, through which South Africa’s white minority enforced its domination over the black and other non-white racial groups who made up more than 90 percent of the population. Apartheid – which means “separate development” in the Afrikaans language – was put into effect through a systematic framework of racist legislation imposing strict segregation, including laws which banned blacks from “white areas,” prevented blacks and whites from marrying or even having sexual relations with each other, and which regulated the education of black children in accordance with their “subservient” social position. The regime imposed “Bantustans,” impoverished autonomous homelands whose borders were designed to exclude economically viable land, upon 12 million black South Africans.
No such laws exist in Israel, which in its Declaration of Independence pledges to safeguard the equal rights of all citizens. Arab citizens of Israel enjoy the full range of civil and political rights, including the right to organize politically, the right to vote and the right to speak and publish freely. Israeli Arabs and other non-Jewish Israelis serve as members of Israel’s security forces, are elected to parliament and appointed to the country’s highest courts. They are afforded equal educational opportunities, and there are ongoing initiatives to further improve the economic standing of all of Israel’s minorities. These facts serve as a counter to the apartheid argument, and demonstrate that Israel is committed to democratic principles and equal rights for all its citizens.
Moreover, Israel’s acceptance of a two-state solution as the outcome of bilateral Israeli-Palestinian negotiations belies accusations that Israel’s goal is the persecution of Palestinians."
the article continues
"
To be sure, Palestinians in the West Bank and in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip do encounter hardships as a result of Israeli policies, including checkpoints, access into Israel, the security barrier and other issues. However, these procedures and structures have been developed to promote security and thwart potential terrorist action, not to persecute or segregate.
Finally, divestment and boycott campaigns singularly demonize Israel and designate Israel for pariah status, while ignoring other states, including many in the Middle East, which systematically abuse human rights. If anti-Israel divestment and boycott activists were truly interested in aiding Palestinians and promoting Israeli-Palestinian reconciliation, they would advocate constructive initiatives between Israelis, Palestinians and others. Unfortunately, most of these activists ignore such initiatives, and focus solely on bashing Israel and promoting punitive actions against the state. Indeed, former South African Constitutional Court Justice Richard Goldstone wrote in a New York Times op-ed that accusing Israel of apartheid “is an unfair and inaccurate slander against Israel, calculated to retard rather than advance peace negotiations.”
Again, we at this blog state, Israel is NOT "Apartheid" or "Racist" those are Lies

"Why Israel Is Nothing Like Apartheid South Africa"
By Benjamin Pogrund
March 31, 2017
the article says
"JERUSALEM — Among critics of Israel, it has become ever more common to accuse the Jewish state of imitating apartheid South Africa. This month, an obscure United Nations agency, the Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia, whose membership comprises 18 Arab states, caused an uproar when it issued a report accusing Israel of applying the same racism in its conflict with Palestinians that made South Africa an international pariah. The United Nations secretary general swiftly repudiated the report, and it was removed from the agency’s website.
The idea that Israel is an apartheid state is a staple of the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement, which has made the South African comparison practically the lingua franca of anti-Israel activism. It’s a grave charge: If the accusation is valid, Israel deserves the censure, boycotts and isolation that the B.D.S. movement demands. But announcing it loudly and ceaselessly, as the movement does, doesn’t make it true.
Here’s why the apartheid comparison does not stack up.
Apartheid in South Africa maintained privilege for the white minority and doomed people of color to subservience; it determined every aspect of life — the school you attended, the work you did, where you lived, which hospital and ambulance you used, whom you could marry, right down to which park bench you could sit on without facing arrest.
I know this because I lived it.
Born in Cape Town in the 1930s, I went to work for The Rand Daily Mail in 1958, a Johannesburg-based newspaper that pioneered comprehensive coverage of black life in the mainstream press: the arrest every year of more than 350,000 black people who transgressed the “pass laws” that controlled where they were allowed to live and work; starvation in the rural areas, with babies dying from severe malnutrition; awful housing, transportation and health care; torture by the security police and detention without trial."

For more than a quarter-century, I reported and analyzed the evils of apartheid. Through my work, I became friends with black leaders, notably Nelson Mandela of the African National Congress and Robert Sobukwe of the Pan-Africanist Congress. With my editor, the renowned Laurence Gandar, I spent four years on trial for my reports about abusive prison conditions. I was denied a passport for five years.
In 1985, The Rand Daily Mail was closed by its commercial owners under pressure from the government. I was so identified with its liberalism that I couldn’t get a job. Britain gave me sanctuary and I became a Fleet Street journalist.
Then came an invitation to start a dialogue center in Jerusalem. My wife and I moved here in 1997. I spent the next 12 years working to bring people together: Jews of opposing political persuasions; Jews, Christians and Muslims; and increasingly, Israelis and Palestinians. Then and since, I have researched and written extensively about the country that has become my second home.
I remain committed to both Israel and South Africa, and I straddle both societies. I am acutely aware of Israel’s problems and faults, but it is nothing like South Africa before 1994. Those who accuse Israel of apartheid — some even say, “worse than apartheid” — have forgotten what actual apartheid was, or are ignorant, or malevolent
The differences begin with “Israel proper,” as defined by the borders after the 1948 and 1967 wars, where Arabs are 21 percent of the population.
Here, Arabs certainly suffer discrimination. Most Arabs are exempted from military service, thus losing veteran benefits; but Druze Arabs are conscripted like Jews, and Bedouin can volunteer. Arab towns are not easily allowed to expand, but growing populations need housing, so people build illegally — and then the government demolishes their homes. And there is racism, too — whether it is Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu making a nakedly anti-Arab appeal on Election Day in 2015 when urging his Jewish supporters to vote or rabbis calling on Jews not to rent or sell real estate to Arabs."
and continues
"Unlike nonwhite South Africans under apartheid, however, Israeli Arabs have the vote and enjoy full citizen rights. The Supreme Court has an Arab judge, the head of surgery in a leading hospital is Arab, and Arabs head university departments. In hospitals and clinics, Jewish and Arab doctors and nurses, secular and religious, work together, giving care equally to Jewish and Arab patients — unthinkable under apartheid. Even the current right-wing government has pledged billions of dollars to upgrade Arab living conditions and education (though it has yet to deliver much).
As for the West Bank and East Jerusalem, which Israel captured from Jordan in 1967, this is an occupation. The army essentially controls about 2.7 million Palestinians, whether in the 60 percent of the West Bank under direct Israeli control or in the other parts nominally under the Palestinian Authority.
The Oslo accords in 1993 between Israel and Palestinians were supposed to bring about peace and a Palestinian state in the West Bank, but both sides fouled up. Palestinians stepped up terrorist attacks, helping to drive many Israeli Jews to the right. In the absence of a peace agreement, Israel continued to build settlements: Some 600,000 Jews now live in the West Bank and in East Jerusalem.
No question, Israel lays itself open to attack for its actions in the West Bank. Its misdeeds and the undermining of the two-state solution through settlement-building provide abundant ammunition for critics. What the B.D.S. movement calls the “apartheid wall” — in fact, mainly a wire fence, except in populated areas — was erected between Israel and the West Bank for security reasons, primarily to keep out would-be suicide bombers. Regrettably, as it was constructed, the wall also became a means of enclosing and grabbing additional West Bank Palestinian land. That was ugly and grasping, but it has nothing to do with apartheid-style racial segregation."
the article continues
"The occupation is an oppression. No rule over an unwilling and resistant people can be pleasant, and enforcement is harsh. But from my perspective, there is none of the institutionalized racism, the intentionality, that underpinned apartheid in South Africa. So why does the B.D.S. movement insist otherwise?
Founded by Palestinians in 2005, the movement has spread internationally and is now embraced by a heterogeneous alliance of Muslims, Christians, anti-Zionist Jews, right-wingers and left-wingers. Anti-Semitism is evident among certain B.D.S. supporters. Even in Israel, some on the left go along with the apartheid accusation out of despair at being unable to end the occupation or halt the country’s move toward right-wing extremism.
The movement points to the boycotts it says brought down apartheid, and argues that this is the way to attack Israel. That belief is simplistic and mistaken. While boycotts were certainly important, they were not as decisive as B.D.S. supporters claim. A combination of factors pressured white South Africa into surrendering power. The most significant was the end of the Cold War, which meant that while black liberation movements lost Soviet support, whites lost the crucial backing of their anti-Communist Western patrons.
During the yearslong struggle for freedom in South Africa, the African National Congress, now in government, refrained from violence against white civilians, with very few exceptions. This was, in large part, a strategic decision to avoid scaring whites into a refusal to yield power. Suicide bombings and murders by ramming pedestrians with vehicles never happened in South Africa. Yet Israel has had them aplenty. Security concerns have dictated Israel’s precautions and responses, not an ideology of apartheid racism.
The most deceptive of the B.D.S. movement’s demands is for the return of Palestinians who fled Israel or were chased out at gunpoint, mostly in the 1948 war. This “right of return” seems reasonable and just, but relatively few people realize that — uniquely among the world’s 65 million refugees — the Palestinians’ descendants are defined as refugees. The original 750,000 Palestinian refugees now number six million to seven million. A mass return would destroy Israel as a Jewish state, which is the whole purpose of its existence.
South African apartheid rigidly enforced racial laws. Israel is not remotely comparable. Yet the members of the B.D.S. movement are not stupid. For them to propagate this analogy in the name of human rights is cynical and manipulative. It reveals their true attitude toward Jews and the Jewish state. Their aims would eliminate Israel. That is what’s at stake when we allow the apartheid comparison." of course this article is NOT 100 Percent Accurate, it has some Anti-Israel Lies in it, but Israel is NOT an "Apartheid" or "Racist" state or an "Occupier"

THE EATING OF THE JEWS
By Editor: Blessed Quietness Journal,
Steve Van Nattan
the article says
"July 2006-- This article is one of the most mocked and linked to pages on this journal. Some people seem to admit that the Holocaust of Hitler implies that this is possible, but most people hate this page. This is because godless folks, and namby pamby milque toast Christians just cannot believe how wicked the heart of man really is.
It is not a pleasant topic, and I notice that prophecy speakers don't bring it up, but the Jews during the Great Tribulation are destined to be eaten literally by the twisted followers of Satan. If you are not born again, and if you are a Gentile, you WILL one day think it is cool to eat Jews. You will go to eat out and relish hamburgers and steaks of Jew.
I think this is a good enough reason to consider coming to the Lord Jesus Christ in repentance and seeking His salvation. You can avoid this certain destiny. So, read the following and consider the future.
Christian reader-- This may well be the roughest thing you can read in this journal at this time. Please brace yourself. Bow your head now, and ask God to touch your spirit and break any resistance to His holy will.
THE BIBLE CLEARLY INDICATES
THAT JEWS WILL BE EATEN IN THE FUTURE
Psalm 16:4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
The heathen poured out blood as drink offerings. This could be, indeed, in Babylon was, the blood of men.
Psalm 44:22 Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
This is the picture of killing Jews for food or sacrifice.
Psalms 14:4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.
Here is the eating of Jews.
Context: The whole Psalm is one of the Great Tribulation time-- Not David's day! Nothing like this ever happened during David's time, so he is clearly prophesying about some future time.
The text is repeated in Psalm 53:4, and the Psalms around 53 are prophetic and clearly point to a future era.
Deut. 32:31 For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:
33 Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.
They lust for the Eucharist of Satan- Blood of the innocent.
Jer. 51:33 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; The daughter of Babylon is like a threshingfloor, it is time to thresh her: yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come.
34 Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon hath devoured me, he hath crushed me, he hath made me an empty vessel, he hath swallowed me up like a dragon, he hath filled his belly with my delicates, he hath cast me out.
The Bible is very blunt. The speaker is saying that the Babylonian king had finished the process of eating the writer and, "defecated me out."
The safest way to take the Word of God is literally. Thus, the Jew has much to gain in accepting the free gift of salvation through Jesus Christ today.
Prov. 30:14- There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men."
the article continues
"Do you think literal application is too strong?
ILLUSTRATION: They are now eating aborted fetuses in China. The doctors are actually cooking the fetuses and serving them to the mothers. Some Chinese doctors are serving them to other patients on the assumption that some primal treatment may be accomplished by eating a cooked fetus. UPDATE: Baby soup is not being served in China and Taiwan in restaurants.
ILLUSTRATION: Collagen, fetal cartilage, is now in many hand lotions. The fetus is dropped into a monster blender, and the collagen is then extracted. Check the label on your lotion bottle. If it says, "bovine collagen," then it is from cow fetuses. If it says simply, "collagen" it is from aborted human fetuses. You are rubbing murdered baby on your pretty face lady.
ILLUSTRATION: As we go to press, Mr. Kavorkian cannot be found guilty for assisting people to kill themselves. Killing the aged and hungry is now considered essential to getting world peace. AIDS has been given to Africa to reduce the population. Perpetual little wars are now with us around the clock, 365 days a year, to get "a just and durable peace."
ILLUSTRATION: Idi Amin used to order the bodies of his executed enemies brought into a private room in the presidential palace. He would go in, take a dagger, plunge it into the dead corpse, and lick off the blood. Idi Amin is enjoying prestige and honor in the Muslim world today.
ILLUSTRATION: Every Halloween, hundreds of young women and babies around the world are sacrificed to Satan and their blood drunk. If you don't believe me, ask your local policeman. Los Angeles, California averages 700 a year.
Dignified death and cannibalism are already with us. Why is it so hard to visualize this pattern simply progressing onward under the direct supervision of Antichrist? And; who is more hated by Satan than the Jews?
Micah 3:1 And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes of the house of Israel; Is it not for you to know judgment?
2 Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones;
3 Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.
4 Then shall they cry unto the LORD, but he will not hear them: he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings.
It is interesting to note that the first "holocaust" of Jews was not the work of Hitler. It was work of the leaders of Israel in Micah's day. We see that the heads of Israel are the ones with the gourmet appetite for fellow Jews. Is it not clear right now that this duality again exists? Are not the common blood-line Jews very likely to become the lunch of Zionist Germanic Jews who carry the Atheist blood of the Nazi mind? Zionists already have brutalized these common Jews socially. All that is needed for Zionists to lust for Jew under glass is for "Him that letteth" (The Holy Spirit of God) to be removed at the rapture of the Church."
the article continues
"Is this clearer? Only a "scholar" or a PhD could miss the point here. The Jews were, and again will be, lunch.
During the Great Tribulation, broiled Jews may be on the menu at Denny's and the Lion's House, or they may be eaten raw at witch's gatherings and at meetings of the New World Order and the United Nations.
Prov. 30:14 There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.
Here it is again. There are some reports of very primitive behavior in Jewish communities in Europe before about 1200 AD. This may be an example of this. If so, God will reward them with this punishment.
THE HISTORY OF THE SACRIFICE
Rev. 6:9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
This is the era in Psalm 14 and 53.
In Babylon, circa 1500 BC, the priests of Baal offered sacrifices of which part was eaten. This was not unusual in ancient times, but in the case of Babylon, the sacrifice was often human. The name of these priests in Babylon in the language of the day-- Cana Baal (priest of Baal), from which we get the English word cannibal. It is not so very hard to imagine this Babylonian custom of worship in the future world kingdom of Satan. After all, cannibalism is observed almost around the clock in the Roman Catholic Church which celebrates the eating of their god in the Mass. Indeed, given the hate for Israel historically by the Roman Church, we can see that the Vatican may well lead the way in serving up Jews at their altars as human sacrifices. "
and continues
"Leviticus 1:1 And the LORD called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man of you bring an offering unto the LORD, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, even of the herd, and of the flock.
3 If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD.
4 And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.
5 And he shall kill the bullock before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
6 And he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into his pieces.
7 And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in order upon the fire:
8 And the priests, Aaron's sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat, in order upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:
9 But his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall burn all on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
10 And if his offering be of the flocks, namely, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt sacrifice; he shall bring it a male without blemish.
11 And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall sprinkle his blood round about upon the altar.
12 And he shall cut it into his pieces, with his head and his fat: and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:
13 But he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water: and the priest shall bring it all, and burn it upon the altar: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
14 And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the LORD be of fowls, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves, or of young pigeons.
15 And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and wring off his head, and burn it on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be wrung out at the side of the altar:
16 And he shall pluck away his crop with his feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes:
17 And he shall cleave it with the wings thereof, but shall not divide it asunder: and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD."
and continues
"Note the killing beside the altar. I am convinced that, given the whole context of the Bible on this subject, that the Antichrist will restore the sacrifices at the altar in Jerusalem. Daniel states that he will place his tabernacle in the holy mountain. I believe that it is not a mere coincidence that the Pope of the Roman Church is obsessed to get Jerusalem under his control. This is simply clearing the way for the Antichrist. Once in power, he will do human sacrifice at the altar, but he will no doubt do his sacrifices on the east side facing Babylon. The Levites were to worship with their backs to Babylon, and Messiah will enter Jerusalem from the East so that His back is toward Babylon. Note the blasphemy in this context in Ezekiel 8:16-17.
Revelation 6:9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
The Levites ATE the remains of the sacrifice. Are you beginning to get the picture. The saints of the Tribulation die beside the altar, and they are under the altar crying out to God for vindication for their desecrated bodies.
Rev. 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
They were killed just as a sacrificial animal. Babylon and Satan called for eating them and drinking their blood.
Rev. 12:1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
Satan would have had no more delight than to eat Jesus. I warned you when you entered page one of this journal that we hit hard. We are literalists. If you take these teachings literally, they are very easy to understand, BUT they are not easy to believe. Why? Answer: The truth, because of the heart of Satan and fallen men, is often very harsh and troubling.
Thus, we consider the the Mass of the Roman Catholic Church. Eating a corpse called Jesus is the central truth of the Roman Catholic faith. It is the primal work of any Romanist Priest of Baal, and without it (the Mass), hell is the absolute destination. Do you see now where this has gone? AND, where it is going in the near future? Satan's Pope will soon move to Israel to set the table of the Mass to eat Jews on the Temple Mount of Zion."
and continues
"Rev. 16:6- For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
This judgment is be repay the world for its lust to drink, first, the blood of Jesus, and, second, the blood of the Jews. Even today, Mr. Sung Myung Moon, who claims to be the reincarnation of Jesus, has several drops of his blood added to the communion juice when his followers "take communion." They lust to drink the blood of God and devour His Son.
Rev. 17:5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
Who is the cannibalist numero uno of the ages? Answer: Mother Whore, Mother Church, wallah-- the Roman Catholic Church. And, her priests, under Satanic authority, will drink the literal blood of the Jews. This is as close as Satan can bring them to drinking the Blood of The Jew of all the ages-- Jesus Christ.
Revelation 18:24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
This is meant literally. Mother Whore, the united world church under the Pope, will gorge on the blood of Jews just as she has gorged on the blood of their devil called Jesus-- who is NOT our Jesus, by the way. Is it not a supreme irony that this charming prophecy expert, Jack Van Impe, is running to the Roman Whore? He will soon drink the blood of the Jews-- mark my word. Van Impe is NOT a saved man since he is exalting the above drunken Whore.
Isa. 49:26 And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.
This is the judgment. They will have to drink their own blood and eat their own body in the last "High Mass" which will be served to them by Messiah. There will come a time, after the eating of Jews during the Great Tribulation, when those who ate them will eat each other. Friend, if you are not born again, you will go all the way through this period. Why would you want to reject the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and end up eating Jews and finally being eaten by your neighbors?
Also, you saints who are too wimpy to witness to your family members. You don't want any trouble, right? Well get a look at Aunt Suzie eating Jews and drinking their blood. Next, look at Aunt Suzie being served up for dinner by the neighbors. Now, maybe you can get out the Gospel to Aunt Suzie, right? Also, how about your Catholic friend who mouths a lot of Bible vocabulary but still goes to Mass. Your Catholic friend is NOT saved. That friend is still a cannibal, and will be until they too are eaten. You wimp. GIVE THEM THE GOSPEL."

"WHY ALLOW JEWS TO BE THUS
CEREMONIALLY SACRIFICED AND EATEN?
Lev. 27:30- 30 And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD's: it is holy unto the LORD.....
32 And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD.
God will get His tithe back up to date.
Exodus 22:29 Thou shalt not delay to offer the first of thy ripe fruits, and of thy liquors: the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me.
God will get the tithe of the firstborn for Himself. I believe this is what is happening in Revelation 6 beside the altar. For centuries, Jews have not given to God their firstborn sons. God will take them the hard way during the Great Tribulation.
Gen. 28:22 And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.
Same thought.
Ezra 9:1 Now when these things were done, the princes came to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the people of the lands, doing according to their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.
2 For they have taken of their daughters for themselves, and for their sons: so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the people of those lands: yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath been chief in this trespass.
God will take away the mixed blood by letting those of mixed blood be eaten and their blood drunk. Who are the mixed blood Jews today? Answer: Zionists. They are nearly all mixed with the blood of Japheth from Germany, Russia, and the Slavic nations. A Zionist absolutely has an appointment to be lunch. Hitler will look like quite a good little boy next to the Antichrist.
Dear Christian friend-- Stop fawning over these Zionists. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, GIVE THEM THE GOSPEL. By exalting them as special, and by holding back the Gospel from them, you are damning them to the most horrible death and hell to follow. WAKE UP!
Isaiah 6:9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.
10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.
11 Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,
12 And the LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.
13 But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof."
the article lastly says
"Can you finally agree with Jehovah God? Jews will be lunch during the purging of Israel during the Great Tribulation.
Do you know what "holocaust" means? It means "whole burnt offering." There is coming a day soon when Jews will not only be "whole burnt offering"-- they will be eaten in a ritual counterfeit of the Levitical model. Knowing that the Whore Church will contain all of the Ecumenical compromisers of Christendom, all Muslims and pagan religions, as well as the old Roman Mother Whore, we must realize that Promise Keepers rallies, New Age witches' coven rituals, World Council of Churches plenary sessions, and all denominational conferences will have one common high point-- the ritual roasting and eating of Jews. When Promise Keepers gurus and Pope John Paul II talk about "Communion," this is what they are talking about-- they just don't know it yet.
We have shown elsewhere in Balaam's Ass Speaks that the Manifest Sons of God teaches that those who refuse to "enter beyond the veil" must be destroyed. It will be a very short theological journey to go on to justify the eating of the bodies of those who are killed for not joining the Dominion program (pogrom?), especially the Jews who are already hated intensely by Reconstructionists and the Pope.
2002
I recently was accused by a Reformed Jewish Rabbi of eating a Jew, in that, I eat the communion (Mass) and believe it is Jesus. This shows how utterly ignorant the average Rabbi is. He seemed to have no idea what a Fundamental Bible believer thinks of the Catholic Mass. These bigoted Rabbis refuse to learn enough about the Christian groups to know that there are true Bible believers, and there are Roman Whore Church believers, as well as many other heretics. This Rabbi thought he had me cornered. Well, this article will prove to any such silly ass that I love Jews. They may not like my hugs, but they get them anyway.
CONCLUSION:
Christian friend, do you witness to every Jew you meet? If you don't, their blood will be on your hands, and you may very well be quite conscious of their suffering after the Rapture of the Church. The Bible seems to teach that tears are not wiped away for us Church Age believers until AFTER the Great Tribulation. The promise of Revelation 21:4 is for the remainder of us. The promise of 17:7 is specifically for these Jews who believed during the Great Tribulation and were ceremonially beheaded and eaten. We may still do some heavy weeping between chapter 7 and chapter 21 of The Revelation.
Next time you meet a Jew, be he Zionist or old world blood-line Jew, ask yourself if you really care. Can you see that Jew roasted and served up at the local Burger King, or can you imagine going to the supermarket and in the meat case reading the label on the meat package, "Filet of Jew. Certified Prime by the USDA and the Vatican." How about, "Blood sausage-- 50% Jew and 50% Arab?" THINK. Why won't you give them the Gospel NOW?" Sorry if this article offends anyone, I have a few Jewish friends and don't want them to be eaten
And old article I found online
"WHY HAST THOU FORSAKEN ME?" 1986
Jews and Judaism,
Rabbi Meir Kahane
May 30, 1986
WHY HAST THOU FORSAKEN ME? by Rabbi Meir Kahane
"If we would know the heart of tragedy of Israel, of the Jewish-Arab struggle, of the reason why peace eludes a Jewish state that so desires it, of the cause of the ongoing suffering and tragedy, of the immutable rule that there will not be tranquility and peace for the Jew or his state, let me explain.
Some time ago an opinion poll was given to Arabs and Jews by sociology Professor Ephraim Ya’ar of Tel Aviv University. The professor gave his respondents a list of 14 factors that may or may not influence the course of peace between Israel and the Arab states, and asked each of them to rank the list in importance from one to14. The results?
The Arabs placed “the will of G-d” first; the Jews placed it last. Or another example: Yet another Tel Aviv University project was conducted by its Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies. Respondents were asked to comment on the Biblical verse, “The guardian angel of Israel slumbers not, nor sleeps.” They were asked who in their minds, represented the Guardian of Israel. Fifty-seven percent replied “the Israeli army” and 17% declared that it was G-d…
And that, dear Jew, is the reason and the source and the cause of a tragedy that is building up, and that, unless swift, radical change takes place in Jewish thought and action, it will bring down horrors upon the Jew and his state, Heaven help us.
The truth is that the Jew has long since become the most unbelieving of all people, the most atheistic of nations. Deluded by his intelligence into the most arrogant and proud of men. Like some modern-day Adam, he has eaten from the tree of Knowledge and dreams of Divinity.
Like some modern-day builder of Babel, he is convinced that he can climb to the heavens and conquer. His cleverness and brightness that so persuaded him that he is the wisest and most perceptive of men, insures that he will be the blindest and most obtuse.
No people and no faith are so convinced that its destiny is essentially its own, in its own hands. None has relegated G-d to the bin of antiquity, to the shadow of irrelevance, as the Jew. There are those who are convinced that He does not exist. There are those who invent Him as a being, who indeed, has a place, but it is conveniently limited and He has better know it. There are those who pay prodigious amounts of lip service and ritual to G-d and whose religion fills their lives as long as there is no need to place their “belief” on the line in time of danger. Few are the Jews who sincerely believe that victory in war is totally in the hands of G-d, who are prepared to take the difficult and dangerous steps their religion demands, lest they have to put their faith where their claims are."
and continues
"The people that were the most religious of all have become the most indifferent to G-d. The People of the Book place more faith in that of the check than the Bible. In time of crisis, the Jew does not believe in anything, except that which he can see, touch, feel. He can see Ronald Reagan; he believes in him far more than in the G-d of Abraham. He can feel the Russians; he fears them more than the intangible G-d he pays lip service to as long as there is no crisis. He can touch the tanks of the Israeli army and so he prays that there will be enough of them instead of believing that One is enough for Him. “For My people have committed two evils; they have forsaken Me, the fountain of living water, and hewed them out of cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.” (Jeremiah 2)
The truth is that we will swear our belief in the Omnipotence of the G-d of Israel as long as this remains in the abstract, in the realm of theory. We show our fervent belief in the miracles that happened yesterday, but we shrink from testing them today or tomorrow. That which we need not do ourselves is easily believed in and avidly taught or sermonized. Yesterday is always smoothly dealt with – who needs to place himself on the line? Who must be tested? The belief in the general Omnipotence of G-d easily fills our hearts. It is only when we must get down to specifics, to real and actual implementation of faith in our own lives that the hypocrisy becomes a stench which is overpowering.
The G-d of Israel is not a “Santa Claus.” The religion of Israel is not a plaything. If there is one thing above all that the Almighty desires of us demands of us, it is faith. “Therefore, the L-rd heard and was wroth; and a fire was kindled against Jacob and anger also came up against Israel; because they believed not in G-d and trusted not in His salvation.” (Psalms 78)
That is the Jewish iron Law: Belief and trust in G-d. rather than looking to and raising Jewish eyes unto the gentile. There can be no greater Hillul Hashem, desecration of the Name of G-d than when the Jew places his faith in the power of the gentile. For what he is saying is that there really is no G-d; and this is the end of Judaism, and this is the end of any reason for the existence of the Jews."
and lastly says
"Jews have long sighed, “It is hard to be a Jew.” As with most things, this too is a statement of hypocrisy. They do not really believe it. They really do believe that they can mold for themselves a good and happy life and at the same time gild it with a thin covering of comfortable Judaism. Of course, it is nonsense. Of course, it really is hard to be a Jew, the kind of Jew that the Almighty demands; the kind of Jew who is the son and daughter of Abraham, who faced the furnace for this belief and did not flinch; the kind of Jew who is the son and daughter of Mordechai who faced the gallows and did not bow; the son and daughter of the Jew whose entire Torah rests on the commandment: “And the righteous shall live by his faith.”
That is difficult. That is a Jew. King David turned, in his day to G-d and lamented: “My G-d, my G-d, why has thou forsaken me?” If one listens carefully, the voice of the G-d of Israel can be heard in the era of Jewish neo-atheism, calling softly: “MY people, My people, why have you forsaken Me?” by the late Rabbi Meir Kahane

Lopez, touring Israel with fiance Alex Rodriguez and her children, visits Jerusalem’s Western Wall
"Roger Waters wants to stop you from performing in Israel. Lana Del Rey and Lorde cancelled their planned tour stops after hearing out BDS activists. After their Tel Aviv performance, Jon Bon Jovi told his Jewish bandmate David Bryan that his father would have been proud.
And floating above it all are Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez, who are currently exploring the land of Israel with the careless swagger the Maccabees must have when they at last overthrew Antiochus.
50,000 Israelis, according to the singer, gathered in HaYarkon Park to watch the 50-year-old chart topper perform, in just one of dozens of stops on her international “It’s My Party” tour.
The outrageously famous couple, engaged as of March, touched down in Israel this week and immediately took to the country not, it seems, to spite BDS pressure, but, apparently, without any awareness that their visit could be construed as more controversial than a visit to Tokyo or Rome.
It is very possible that J-Lo and A-Rod live in a world where there is no Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Apparently carefree and unconcerned with having landed in the most politically contentious place on the face of the earth, they arrived in the country with their four children in tow (each have two children from previous marriages,) as well as a one hundred-person coterie of dancers, tech people, and other members of Lopez’s tour.
“There was nothing that was going to stop us from being in Israel,” Lopez’s manager Benny Medina told Channel 12 News in Israel. “It’s really simple: Tel Aviv and Israel deserve Jennifer Lopez, and Jennifer Lopez deserves Israel.”
J-Lo and A-Rod in Je-ru — it’s a pairing that has launched a thousand camera flashes. Let us follow this blissfully too-famous-to-worry-about-public-opinion couple as they sweat attractively through summer in the Holy Land:
Future spouses at Jerusalem’s Tayelet, overlooking the Old City:
Lopez, in a kind of reimagined Princess Leia slave outfit, pumps up the crowd in Tel Aviv:
Rodriguez tries out local transportation at the Tel Aviv beach boardwalk with the confidence of a motorcycle gang leader:
The couple tries a considerably older form of local transportation:
The Via Dolorosa! The camels! The Holy Sepulchre! The Kotel!
With the energy of a shopping mall Ahava salesman and the Kiruv-energy of a Chabad youth, Rodriguez sounds off on Israel as a vacation destination:
Look — Israel is about to have elections, and Prime Minister is a wide open field. If this is Lopez, Rodriguez, or any of their four children’s opening bid in their run, it’s a good one" Other sources confirm Jennifer Lopez & Alex Rodriguez really Love Israel, People have stated that Roger Waters is a very evil hate filled creep and loser who should just get a life and get help

"ROGER WATERS COMPARES ISRAELIS TO ALIENS IN BIZARRE RANT - WATCH"
Roger Waters has repeatedly spoken out against Israel, this time comparing Israelis to the aliens from the film Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
BY TAMAR BEERI MAY 10, 2019
1 minute read. the article says
"Roger Waters took to social media on Thursday afternoon to express his pride in a Swiss petition that demanded Eurovision "pull out of the finals in Tel Aviv," during which he compared Israelis to aliens, although "it's giving aliens a bad name."
Waters spoke of a conversation he had with BDS founder Omar Barghouti, who told him about the petition, which was signed by 136,000 Swiss people.
Waters spoke of three 'f's, the first being a film. "There's the film, and that film was the Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and Eurovision reminds me of the Invasion of the Body Snatchers, because it seems it may have been taken over by [aliens]," Waters said. "I know, it's giving aliens a bad name, but at the end of the movie, Donald Sutherland points at somebody like this." Waters proceeded to make a shocked face and point straight at the camera.
"The body-snatchers are doing that now, but normally what they're going is, 'antisemite!'" Waters continued, pointing again at the camera.
The second 'f' Waters discussed was fable, in which he referenced The Emperor's New Clothes. "'Mommy, mommy, why is the emperor of Israel parading his ethno-supremacist bullshit around naked?'" Waters said in a mock-childish voice. "Enough with Netanyahu."
The third and final 'f' was faith. It "is the subject of Omar's message to me, and that is that it's faith in my fellow human beings, faith in their capacity for love and empathy," Waters said. "136,000 of our Swiss brothers and sisters have signed and delivered a petition demanding that the Eurovision pull out of the finals in Tel Aviv. I cannot tell you how much that has lightened my morning."
"I'm going to go and make myself another cup of coffee with love in my heart for all those Swiss people," he concluded. "Thank you, thank you."
Roger Waters has been vocal about his anti-Israel stances, having told Madonna not to come to Israel when it was announced that she would be making an appearance at Eurovision. "If you believe in human rights... don't play in Tel Aviv," he published in a statement directed at Madonna." Roger Waters is Nucking Futs aka F--king Nuts

"Jennifer Lopez did more for Israel's image than any politician ever could"
Opinion: At a time when Israeli producers struggle to convince top international artists to perform in the country due to BDS pressure, JLo unapologetically made her presence in the Holy Land known to her 100 million social media followers
Raz Shechnik|Published: 08.04.19 , 15:03 the article says
"A thousand ambassadors would not have been able to improve Israel’s image in the eyes of the world the way Jennifer Lopez, who has over 100 million followers on social media, has done during her five day visit to the Holy Land as part of her concert tour.
It all started with her decision to agree to come to Israel at all, at a time when local producers are struggling to convince top international artists to perform in the country amid the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions threats. Case in point, this summer - with the exception of Bon Jovi - we haven’t seen a single top-tier performer do a show in Israel.
Although Lopez probably made millions of dollars by performing in Israel, she could’ve earned that money by doing a show anywhere else in the world. Then, Lopez opted to fly El Al, like the rest of us “commoners.” She made a point not to keep a low profile - as if it was nothing more but a work visit - but come with her twin children and fiancé Alex Rodrigez, a baseball legend, for a mini vacation." the article shows a Picture of Jennifer Lopez on a Beach in Tel Aviv and other Pics
the ynetnews.com article about Jennifer Lopez & Israel continues
"Lopez landed in Israel wearing leopard-print crop top and matching leggings and unlike other artists of JLo’s stature, she didn’t make it hard for photographers, or media in general, to get a hold of her.
She understands the rules of the game. Lopez stopped to take countless selfies and avoided spending her time in the country hiding away in her pimped-out hotel suite. The singer wanted to see Tel Aviv’s fancy entertainment venues from up close, and didn’t make any unreasonable demands, unlike some of her colleagues.
The Israeli audience is not stupid, and always warmly and lovingly welcomes those who reach out. Thus, Lopez didn’t encounter any harassment from the onlookers, and even seemed to enjoy the attention. Her partner, A-Rod, for his part shared the photos from the trip with his Instagram followers, calling the experience “unforgettable.”
As for the concert, it’s safe to say it’s been awhile since there was such a widespread consensus among Israeli concertgoers about a live show, which was absolutely perfect. This is due to the pop-star's impeccable professionalism that Israelis can learn something from.
JLo during her concert in Tel Aviv (Photo: Raz Gross)
Lopez arrived at the concert venue - at Tel Aviv's HaYarkon Park - a day before the show in the midst of the summer heat for a rehearsal. She repeatedly checked the stage, the sound and the equipment, and only after making sure everything was perfect the singer made her way to central Tel Aviv for some recreational activities.
The Instagram post she put up after the show, thanking the audience for a warm welcome, is great publicity for those trying to bring artists to perform in Israel.
A day after the concert, JLo and her family visited Jerusalem, the Western Wall and took selfies with a camel. Afterwards Lopez made a visit to a beach in Tel Aviv, the kind of thing the Ministry of Tourism would normally pay a fortune for but JLo provided that free of charge.
Bottom line is that Lopez’s trip has been one of the most successful visits by an international artist to Israel ever. A slap in the face to the BDS that put a lot of pressure on the singer and the ones close to her in an attempt to stop her from coming.
I heard some critics say that "Israeli provinciality" is what turned the singer’s visit into something bigger than it actually was.
There seems to be a bit of a misunderstanding. Jennifer Lopez is not just a singer, she is a bonafide pop icon. Her photos on a beach in Tel Aviv were received with just as much excitement around the world as they had been here, and some Israeli so-called celebrities can definitely learn a thing or two from her as well.

"Why Israel Will Never Be Defeated"
by Paula R. Stern, 19/08/15 12:08
the article says
"There's a reason why Israel will never be defeated. It has nothing to do with Obama, obviously. It has nothing to do with 320 American "rabbis" signing to support the Iran Deal using the blood of our children as the ink for their signature. It has nothing to do with our enemies...isn't that amazing?
It has nothing to do with our technological innovation, our ability to discover or invent amazing things like Waze, the latest cancer treatments, telecommunications wonders, and more. Nor does it have anything to do with our political leaders, current, past or future.
There is, honestly, a simple reason and it has existed as long as there has been a Jew alive.
When our enemies gather on the hills above us, when they wage their battles in the United Nations and world courts, it means nothing because what we have, is this...this was filmed a year ago, July 2014, during Operation Protective Edge.
There is a sect of Jews, a movement, if you will, called Breslovs. Breslov is a place in the Ukraine where Rebbe Nachman lived. He was the great-grandson of the Baal Shem Tov, a man credited with founding the Hasidic movement.The Hasidic movement, in its origin, was so different than it is today - then, it was to focus on the joy of living, of song and dance. In too many ways, the modern Hasidic movement has become more like the people against whom Rebbe Nachman of Breslov rebelled.
As rockets were falling, vans filled with Breslov Hasidim drove towards the Gaza border to support our soldiers. The video begins with a radio broadcast - another Grad missile in the area of Beersheva, and another and another.
And then they arrive...and the soldiers come to dance..."All the world is a narrow bridge. The main thing, is not to be afraid," they sing. They dance.
These were soldiers very close to the Gaza border. There is a sect of Jews, a movement, if you will, called Breslovs. Breslov is a place in the Ukraine where Rebbe Nachman lived. He was the great-grandson of the Baal Shem Tov, a man credited with founding the Hasidic movement.
The Hasidic movement, in its origin, was so different than it is today - then, it was to focus on the joy of living, of song and dance. In too many ways, the modern Hasidic movement has become more like the people against whom Rebbe Nachman of Breslov rebelled.
And so, around the world, and especially in Israel, there are those who want to get back to the simple joy of celebrating who we are. They'll stop in the middle of the street and start dancing...and amazingly enough, others will run up to join them. This will happen in the snow, at the Kotel, in the rain, on a highway and there, close to the Gaza border.
So long as there are Jews who will dance for the sheer pleasure of thanking God for our very existence, for all the blessings He has given to us, Israel will never be destroyed or defeated." Many have said Italy & Israel are the two greatest nations in the World

Good news for 'Gossip Girl' fans; Jennifer Lopez drops new trailer
Hollywood Nation: 'Gossip Girl' is ready for a reboot with a fresh crop of private school teens in a new 10 episode series on the upcoming streaming service, HBO Max; Jennifer Lopez dances and scams in the first trailer for the upcoming heist film, 'Hustlers.'
Jennifer Lopez and her fiance Alex Rodriguez made time to stop by one of the world's holiest sites, Jerusalem's Western Wall.
The singer, her baseball playing-beau and their respective children were snapped praying at the holy site after JLo performed the night before in Tel Aviv.
"Reconnecting with faith and family at the Via Dolorosa and the church of the holy sepulcher," Lopez posted on Instagram. "#family #love #itsmypartytour SWIPE to see some beautiful pictures of our family outing."

Rodriguez shared: "Jerusalem, you are unforgettable. What a perfect finale to our first trip to this beautiful land."
Later he added, "What an amazing time we are having on my first trip to Israel! The people have been wonderful and have such energy. I will definitely be back and recommend visiting this incredible country!"
While the famous couple was visiting Israel as a stop on Lopez's "It's My Party" tour, it didn't come without controversy. Like many artists who perform in the Middle Eastern country, Lopez faced pressure to cancel her concert from the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) Movement.
ROCKER NICK CAVE SLAMS FELLOW ARTISTS' BOYCOTT OF ISRAEL AS 'COWARDLY AND SHAMEFUL'
But Lopez's longtime manager Benny Medina told Israel's Channel 12 that "there was nothing that was going to stop us from being in Israel."
Bon Jovi faced similar pressure recently but made the decision to perform in Tel Aviv on July 25 despite BDS pressure. Bon Jovi keyboardist David Bryan told the Jerusalem Post, “We don’t get into politics. Rock ‘n’ roll goes everywhere and helps people forget about the world and have a good time. It doesn’t divide, and that’s what we’re talking about – unification, not dividing.”
In September, singer Lana Del Rey canceled her performance in Israel under pressure from an anti-Israeli group two weeks after she publicly defended the concert as a way to "bring us together" with a "thematic emphasis on peace."
Singers who have performed in Israel include Paul McCartney, Alicia Keys, Elton John, Madonna, Lady Gaga, Bob Dylan, Justin Bieber, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Leonard Cohen, Guns N’ Roses, Aerosmith, Cyndi Lauper, Rihanna, Justin Timberlake and others.

"5 more of the most unconquerable countries in the world"
The nations listed in this article are
1. Vietnam
2. Finland
3. Israel
4. Japan &
5. The Philippines for #3 Israel it says
"If part of what makes the United States an unconquerable country is every citizen being able to take up arms against an invader, just imagine how effective that makeshift militia force would be if every single citizen was also a trained soldier. That's Israel, with 1.5 million highly-trained reserve troops.
Also, they're all insanely attractive.
Israel has had mandatory military service for all its citizens – men and women – since 1949 and for a good reason. Israel is in a tough neighborhood and most of their neighbors don't want Israel to exist. This means the Jewish state is constantly fighting for survival in some way, shape, or form and they're incredibly good at it. In almost 70 years of history, Israel earned a perfect war record. Not bad for any country, let alone one that takes heat for literally anything it does.
Not only will Israel wipe the floor with its enemies, it doesn't pull punches. That's why wars against Israel don't last long, with most lasting less than a year and the shortest lasting just six days. As far as invading Israel goes, the last time an invading Army was in Israel proper, it was during the 1948-49 War of Independence. Since then, the farthest any invader got inside Israel was into areas seized by the Israelis during a previous war.
In fact, when an Arab coalition surprised Israel during Yom Kippur in 1973, the Israelis nearly took Cairo and Damascus in just a couple of weeks.
In all your years, you will never look as cool in uniform as Moshe Dayan and his eyepatch.
More than just securing their land borders, Israel keeps a watchful eye on Jewish people worldwide, and doesn't mind violating another country's sovereignty to do it. Just ask Uganda, Sudan, Argentina, Germany, Norway, France, Italy, UAE, Tunisia... get the point? If a group of Jewish people are taken hostage or under threat somewhere, the IDF or Mossad will come and get them out.
The Mossad is another story entirely. Chance are good that any country even thinking about invading Israel is probably full of, if not run by, Mossad agents. Israel will get the entire plan of attack in plenty of time to hand an invader their own ass. Just before the 1967 Six Day War, Mossad agent Eli Cohen became a close advisor to Syria Defense Minister. He actually got the Syrians to plant trees in the Golan Heights to help IDF artillery find the range on their targets"

"What’s the big deal about Israel’s 70th anniversary?"
By WND Staff
Published April 21, 2018 at 7:25pm
the article states
"WASHINGTON – A new documentary about Israel’s 70th anniversary, produced by an Arab-American Christian and an American messianic Jewish rabbi, makes the case this event is so significant that it touches everything we see, everyone we know, everything we can’t see and everyone we don’t know.
In other words, it impacts EVERYTHING.
That’s quite a claim.
Yet, here’s what Joseph Farah, founder of WND.com and the aforementioned Arab-American Christian producer, explains in “70 YEARS: Israel’s Prophetic Past, Present and Future.”
“Israel is not just another nation in the world,” he says, “It’s not just the only Jewish state. It’s not just a unique people group with a long history going back thousands of years of triumph and tragedy, peace and persecution, status and statelessness. This movie makes the point that the history of Israel and its rebirth as a nation 70 years ago is evidence it is part of a mysterious divine script written at the dawn of Creation that affects the destiny of every person who has ever lived on Planet Earth – not to mention the fate of the Earth itself.”
He and Jonathan Bernis of the television show “Jewish Voice,” Farah’s co-producer and presenter, invite you to see this movie for yourself to determine if these things be true.
On one hand, it’s the miraculous story of Israel’s 70th anniversary back in its original land after a dispersion of nearly two millennia. But it’s more than just the narrative of the Jewish people. It’s the history of the greatest story ever told – one that actually explains why we’re all here, the fate of the world, even the secret of eternal life, Farah says."
The article continues
"Directed and edited by George D. Escobar, vice president of WND Films and director of the Academy Award-nominated picture “Alone, Yet Not Alone,” “70 YEARS” explains why Israel is so often seemingly alone in the world, but yet never alone.
Forty-nine years before Israel was, as prophesied in the Bible, resurrected from the dead, the great American writer Mark Twain explained the paradox of its people in an article in 1899 called “Concerning the Jews.”
“The Jews constitute but one percent of the human race,” he wrote. “Properly the Jew ought hardly to be heard of, but he is heard of, has always been heard of. … The Egyptian, the Babylonian, and the Persian rose, filled the planet with sound and splendor, then faded to dream-stuff and passed away; the Greek and the Roman followed, and made a vast noise, and they are gone; other people have sprung up and held their torch high for a time, but it burned out … The Jew saw them all, beat them all, and is now what he always was, exhibiting no decadence, no infirmities of age, no weakening of his parts, no slowing of his energies … All things are mortal, but the Jew; all other forces pass, but he remains. What is the secret of his immortality?”
Immortality?
Twain, not noted for his faith in God, wasn’t just addressing the amazing survival of the Jewish people half a century before the miraculously reformed their state in one day, again, as prophesied in the Bible. But even from his secular point of view, Twain observed the Jewish people, the nation of Israel, were characterized by immortality, transcendence, timelessness, permanence.
And that’s the sweeping panoramic perspective this fast-paced documentary takes from beginning to end."
the article continues
"It presents the case that the secret of the Jew’s immortality is that almighty God chose, blessed, and set him apart for a special purpose – to be a light to the rest of the world, as the Bible says. It was through the Jewish people that the Jewish Messiah came into the world. And it is to Israel that He, Jesus, or Yeshua as He was known to His own people, will return to restore this world to the glory and perfection of the Garden of Eden:
No other nation was conceived like Israel – in a unique covenant between one man and the God of all Creation.
No other nation was born like Israel – in the spiritual labor pains of hundreds of years of captivity and slavery in a foreign land.
No other nation witnessed a miracle-filled 40-year odyssey through the desert, led by God, fed by God, hearing His thunderous voice, getting His instructions and receiving His commandments etched in stone tablets.
No other nation was directed by God to return to its land with borders surveyed and defined by the Creator.
No other nation was judged unworthy and punished with captivity in another foreign land for 70 years before being returned for a second chance.
No other nation received the Redeemer of the world but didn’t recognize Him – only to be scattered throughout the world, yet, at the same time spreading God’s revelations and making His revelation to the four corners of the earth.
See the “70 YEARS” trailer:
And, certainly, no other nation remained scattered for more than 1,800 years, only to return to the land again, as prophesied, reborn in a day to await another chance to welcome its Messiah.
Today, just as the prophets wrote, Israel’s deserts are blooming, but few recognize God’s hand is still at work while the regathered Jewish state remains the world’s center of controversy.
As Israel celebrates its 70th anniversary back in the land, this movie – unique among other films examining the subject — explores the Jewish state’s past, present and what the Bible tells us about its future glory."
and lastly says
"As far as I know, this is the only documentary movie made about this momentous anniversary,” said Farah.
“70 YEARS: Israel’s Prophetic Past, Present and Future” is available now on DVD exclusively from the WND Superstore, soon to be also at Amazon and soon available for view-on-demand, digital download at both."

"Roger Waters is insane, but you probably knew that already"
Published 5 months ago
on February 25, 2019
By Chastity Mansfield
the article says
"From extreme activism for the Boycott, Divest, and Sanction (BDS) Movement to attacking anything that even remotely jibes with a policy from the Trump administration, Pink Floyd rocker Roger Waters has turned himself into a spectacle of hyper-leftist stereotypes. What conservatives view as a parody of radical progressives is exactly what Waters tends to embody.
It’s gotten to the point that he’s calling Democratic Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders a pawn of the far right.
Bernie, are you f-ing kidding me! if you buy the Trump, Bolton, Abrams, Rubio line, “humanitarian intervention” and collude in the destruction of Venezuela, you cannot be credible candidate for President of the USA. Or, maybe you can, maybe you’re the perfect stooge for the 1 %.
— Roger Waters (@rogerwaters) February 23, 2019
Waters has been on the warpath when it comes to Venezuela. Somehow, he believes that the whole Venezuela situation is manufactured by the Trump administration, that things aren’t nearly as bad as the press makes it all out to be, and that any attempts to help the starving people of the land are examples of America’s imperialistic nature.
It’s as if Russian propagandists have taken over his mind and turned him into their best raving mouthpiece.
Last week, he went after Virgin Group founder Richard Branson:
Roger Waters tells Richard Branson to ‘back off’ over Venezuela in bizarre dispute over benefit concert
https://www.foxnews.com/world/roger-waters-tells-richard-branson-to-back-off-over-venezuela-in-bizarre-dispute-over-benefit-concertWaters’ pointed criticism at his countryman comes as Branson, founder of the Virgin Group, says he is hoping to raise $100 million on Friday for people suffering in the South American country, which is currently undergoing a leadership and economic crisis with the regime of disputed President Nicolas Maduro clinging on to power.
“Even if you listen to their shtick, it has nothing to do with humanitarian aid at all. It has to do with Richard Branson – and I’m not surprised by this – having bought the U.S. saying, ‘We have decided to take over Venezuela, for whatever our reasons may be,’” Waters says in a video posted to his social media accounts.
“But it has nothing to do with the needs of the Venezuelan people, it has nothing to do with democracy, it has nothing to do with freedom, and it has nothing to do with aid,” he added.
It’s one thing to disagree about the United States’ motives for possibly getting involved in the Venezuela crisis. After all, we seem to be inching closer to intervention in a sovereign nation that has not attacked us or our allies. But to question the need to aid Venezuelans or to pretend like it’s a Trojan Horse designed to fuel a revolt against Nicolás Maduro is simply echoing the narrative the dictator has created in order to retain his control.
At this point, it’s hard to imagine Waters getting any more radicalized in his beliefs. To go after Bernie Sanders as a right-wing pawn is ridiculous, especially when you read the points Sanders was actually making. Sorry, Pink Floyd fans. Your boy is lost."

"Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan recently tweeted a segment of his Saviour’s Day speech in February in which he explained his own version of Jesus Christ’s death and then proclaimed that he is actually the messiah.
“God so loved his people that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believed in Him would not perish but have everlasting life,” Farrakhan began, quoting John 3:16.
Then, he relayed to the crowd at the United Center arena in Chicago what he believes is the truth.
“God does not love this world. God never sent Jesus to die for this world. Jesus died because he was 2,000 years too soon to bring about the end of the civilization of the Jews. He never was on no cross. There was no Calvary for that Jesus.
“Early one Saturday morning our savior taught us, when he found out he was 2,000 years too soon to end the civilization of the Jews, He decided that he would give his life for the truth that he taught, that His name would live, until the one that he prefigured came into existence. And that’s why the Koran says Jesus and his mother Mary were a sign.
“Jesus didn’t die on Calvary; he died in front of an old Jew’s store that was boarded up, and the Roman soldiers came to get him.”

A transcript of the rest of the speech is printed on Final Call, including the section in which he declares that he "represents Jesus" (emphasis mine):
Jesus was out there after he had the largest crowd that he had in all of his 20-something years of teaching in Jerusalem and in Palestine.He had 35 people. The Roman soldiers came and when they saw him the soldiers, two of them, they ran toward him. He never moved; he came out on the street to die.That’s my Jesus the prophet. And when they put their hands on him they started arguing because there was a price on his head $1,500 if you bring him in alive $2,500 if you bring him in dead. … So as the soldier that had him was walking with him to bring him to the authorities, the solider was saying, “Look, Jesus, if I bring you to them, they’re going to torture you; but if you let me kill you, I will do it so quickly that you won’t hardly feel it.” And Jesus, according to what our Saviour taught us, he invited them to come and do it. He had his hands in this manner, arms open, in front of that Jew’s store. The Roman soldier took his knife and drove it into Jesus with such a force that his nerves just froze, and he was in this position, arms open, when he passed. He’s been embalmed to last for 10,000 years. You can believe it or let it alone.
The real story is what I tried to tell you from the beginning. It didn’t happen back there. It’s happening right while you’re alive looking at it. I represent the Messiah.I represent the Jesus and I am that Jesus. If I am not, take my life.
In March, the Republican Jewish Coalition called on seven Democrats to step down over alleged ties to Farrakhan, including Reps. Keith Ellison, D-Minn.; Barbara Lee, D-Calif.; Maxine Waters, D-Calif.; Danny Davis, D-Ill.; Andre Carson, D-Ind.; Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y.; and Al Green, D-Texas." People have said about this,

"Louis Farrakhan: Bigot, Fraud, Nut"
Eunice G. Pollack, Stephen H. Norwood

the article says
"WE are appalled that so many people chose to attend the Farrakhan Rally. It is disingenuous, if not patronizing, to justify their choice by pointing to the real problems that plague blacks today.
Few commentators have been heard explaining away attendance at the Nuremberg Rally at which Hitler was keynote speaker, or at more recent events dominated by George Wallace or David Duke, by pointing to the very real problems of their audiences. That only Farrakhan - just as in 1930s Germany, only Hitler - could have drawn so many to the Mall should be lamented and condemned. Many blacks insisted that they could not overlook Mark Fuhrman's racism to convict a double murderer; yet many apparently have no difficulty overlooking the racism of the man who organized and led this meeting.
Louis Farrakhan has reintroduced into American political discourse a virulent anti-Semitism that had not been heard for 50 years. He has leveled preposterous charges, even assigning Jews "monumental culpability" for slavery and the slave trade. This is a monumental lie. Leading authorities, published by the American Historical Association, have shown Jews had a marginal role in the slave system.
Farrakhan is driven to malign the Jews because Jews have long been in the vanguard of the movement for a racially integrated society, while he is above all committed to establishing a racially separated society.
Martin Luther King Jr., by contrast, stated, "it would be impossible to record the contribution that Jewish people have made toward the negro's struggle for freedom, it has been so great. " Farrakhan opposed the 1963 March on Washington, at which King gave the keynote address, because it was supported by a coalition of whites and blacks who were committed to a desegregated society.
Farrakhan is also a nut. He has informed us that a spaceship called the Mother Wheel, filled with bombs, is hovering 40 miles above the Earth; on a divinely appointed day they will rain down, killing all whites, while blacks who follow him will be raised to majesty. Note that whites can hardly be expected to be spared since, according to the Nation of Islam, the scientist who "grafted" whites into existence 7,000 years ago made them "inherently deceptive and murderous" (Chicago Tribune, March 12, 1995).
Farrakhan knows so much about the Mother Wheel because he had a vision in which he was transported there. He explained that he was taken there on a spacecraft which traveled through a beam of light; indeed, while there, the ghost of his mentor, Elijah Muhammad, another notorious racist and bigot, spoke to him.
Farrakhan is also a fraud. Extensive investigations into his finances and the business ventures of the Nation of Islam led the Chicago Tribune to conclude that he is just another huckster, turning a buck on religion, distinguished only by "his rabidly racist theology" (March 21). The investigations showed him consistently exploiting the very people he promises to lead out of poverty.
While the Nation of Islam repeatedly calls for more cash from the impoverished blacks who form its core, the businesses it sets up are "riddled with debt, failure," "allegations of fraud," "tax delinquencies, and unsatisfied court judgments" (March 12). They have, however, allowed Farrakhan, his relatives, and top aides to profit handsomely and "live lavishly. " Even his followers refer to his residences as "palaces;" a Lexus LS400 and a Mercedes he had flown directly to Chicago from Germany are titled to him.
Every American should be extremely concerned about this hatemonger that so many traveled so far to hear."

"The Israeli Army's Roim Rachok Program Is Bigger Than the Military"
Six years ago, three former Mossad agents launched an experimental Israeli Army program to recruit those on the autism spectrum, harnessing their unique aptitudes—their "superpowers," as one soldier puts it. The name of this big military success? Roim Rachok, Hebrew for "seeing into the future," and it may bring neurodiversity to the broader workforce.

"It’s early June in Israel, as sirens blare and golden explosions burst the black sky. Clashes have been raging since before President Trump moved the U. S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, recognizing it as the country’s capital to the outrage of Palestinians, but the relocation sparked the most deadly outbreak in years along the Gaza Strip. Legions of protesters hurl firebombs and rocks at Israeli soldiers over the security fence. Burning kites fly over from Gaza into the brittle, dry fields along Israel’s southern border, setting the ground ablaze.
Forty-five miles north, in the heart of Tel Aviv, Israel Defense Forces personnel bustle around the Kirya, the sprawling campus that has served as the IDF’s main base and headquarters since shortly after the founding of the country in 1948. On an upper floor of one heavily guarded building, at the end of a narrow hall, a half-dozen young intelligence soldiers in olive-green fatigues stare intently at their dual computer monitors. Aerial-surveillance photos of the country’s borders flicker on their screens. They’re doing visual analysis, eyeballing an ever-shifting cascade of thousands of satellite images, looking for the slightest sign of enemy activity—a small stockpile of explosives behind a hill, perhaps, or a tiny, upturned pile of sand indicating a nascent underground tunnel. Missing one detail could cost lives. Their high-stakes work is crucial for protecting Israeli citizens and soldiers. It’s also unforgiving. For nine hours a day, or more during a crisis, they exhibit almost bionic focus, an uncanny ability to stare at a screen and process highly complex data without tiring or daydreaming.
For that reason, as their scruffy, middle-aged commander Eitan (to protect some IDF identities, aliases are used) tells me, “These are the best soldiers in the unit.” They are also the most distinctive—not only in Israel but in the world. They’re part of an innovative military program called Roim Rachok, Hebrew for “seeing into the future.” The elite group consists entirely of members of a burgeoning but underserved and overlooked population with powers as special as their needs: autistic teens.
Founded in 2012 by three former agents of the Mossad, Israel’s national intelligence agency, it accomplishes two goals: providing the military with highly skilled analysts and providing autistic teens with the opportunity to serve. The program scours the country for capable volunteers, men and women, then trains them for three months in life and work skills to integrate them into the unit known as 9900 (which also includes soldiers who aren’t on the autism spectrum).
The experience doesn’t end with the service, which can last several years. The soldiers enter the workplace with this invaluable expertise, and companies such as Intel seek them out. The story of Roim Rachok has implications far beyond Israel. It demonstrates an inspiring new way of thinking about autism, one that empowers both those on the spectrum and those around them. “It’s a win-win for the country,” Eitan says. “It’s a win-win for the soldiers. And it’s a win-win for me. This is the right thing to do at the right time.”
the article continues
"Autism is on the rise. A study released in April 2018 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention based on the most recent data, from 2014, found that one in fifty-nine children in America has autism-spectrum disorder—a 15 percent increase from two years prior and a 150 percent increase from fourteen years before. Although autism predominantly affects boys, the rate for girls is also increasing. In 2012, boys were four and a half times as likely to be on the spectrum; in 2014, that figure fell to four times as likely. In total, about 3.5 million Americans have autism-spectrum disorder. The stats track around the world, where roughly 1 percent of the population shares the diagnosis.
There is no single cause of autism, which is thought to develop from a combination of environmental and genetic forces. The increase has also been correlated with a greater awareness of symptoms. People with ASD often struggle with social skills, communication, and repetitive behaviors, but the range of individual strengths and weaknesses is vast. About one third of people on the spectrum are nonverbal, and the same fraction have an intellectual disability. Autism can also coincide with a variety of physical and mental challenges, such as seizures, anxiety, and ADHD. According to a Drexel University study, among young adults with nonphysical disabilities, those with autism have the lowest rate of employment.
In fact, nearly 42 percent of people in their early twenties with autism have never worked for pay at all. The wide majority of those who do work are lucky to earn a living wage. For young Israelis with autism, the frustration is compounded by the country’s mandatory military service. Citizens over the age of eighteen are required to enlist in the IDF, two years and eight months of service for men, two years for women. For generations, it has been viewed as a rite of passage into adulthood, a way to both serve the country and spread one’s wings after high school. But it’s an experience that has been lost for teens on the spectrum, who, along with others with disabilities, are exempt from conscription. They fall under a category known as Profile 21."
and continues
"The pain of missing this experience is one that Leora Sali, one of Roim Rachok’s cofounders, and her family know firsthand. A physicist who managed the technology team for the Mossad, Sali has an autistic son herself. By the time he was three, she saw that he seemed to be having trouble communicating and reading social cues. Like many parents, she and her husband didn’t understand the scope of his subsequent diagnosis. They feared that, given his exemption from the military, he would never get to find himself and his purpose as they and generations of others before him had. “I wanted him to be part of society,” Sali tells me. “I wanted him to learn to have a profession, to be able to work and support himself in the future.”
But Sali wasn’t willing to give up her dream of having him serve his country.
“This is something I knew he could do,” she says. She believed that her son had powers of focus and concentration that could be of great use to the military. In 2011, she persuaded her colleagues in the IDF to allow her to put together a small team of researchers to explore what special capabilities autistics might have that would entice the military to take them on.
She wasn’t the only one pursuing this goal at the time. Tal Vardi was a veteran Mossad agent who had spent decades in service (including during the Yom Kippur war and the raid on Entebbe). Since retiring, he’d been teaching yoga and giving tours of the country. In January 2011, he gathered with former colleagues after one of their sons had been killed in Gaza. As they sat in a garden catching up with one another, one of the men, now a wealthy software executive, said that he had two autistic teenage sons who were struggling to contribute to society and lead happy lives. The anguish of his friend’s family moved Vardi, who offered to help.
With the support of his friend Tamir Pardo, then the head of the Mossad, Vardi organized a meeting of dozens of scientists and researchers, including technologists within the IDF, to see how autistics might play a role in military service. This is when he learned that Sali was looking into this matter herself. With a go-ahead from the IDF, in 2012 they began the Roim Rachok pilot program. It wasn’t just about transforming Israeli service. It was also about proving to the world that young people on the spectrum could not only perform but excel. “I felt that this is the purpose I’m here for,” Vardi, a tanned sixty-five-year-old with short gray hair, tells me, “to create a new life model for people with autism.”
and continues
"It's midafternoon inside a windowless classroom at Ono Academic College, a school of fourteen thousand students in a leafy suburb outside Tel Aviv. A dozen Roim Rachok recruits sit around a table, listening intently as two others stand up front by a whiteboard reporting on the Lebanon war. The speakers—a guy and a girl in their late teens—confidently click through their PowerPoint slides, taking pains at the end to make eye contact with the others, who pepper them with questions and comments. “You displayed a good memory for dates,” one classmate, Ari, tells them in Hebrew, “but it’s a bit too long, and you didn’t use body language enough.”
The students here are two months into their initial three-month training before moving on to the IDF headquarters. As Ari’s critique suggests, the focus is not just to build their military knowledge but to help them develop the social skills they’ll need in order to work with those they call “neurotypical” soldiers—or NTs, as they nickname them. “The issue wasn’t really the Lebanon war; it was the teamwork,” Vardi tells me after class. “It was them being able to stand in front of people and talk and present something and then later on going through the process of getting feedback in a respectful way.” In this sense, Roim Rachok presents a model for how autistics can be integrated into the Israeli military as well as one for integration into society at large. It fits with Israel’s reputation for innovation—as chronicled in books such as Start-up Nation. Vardi refers to the program, which they designed from the ground up, as “a social start-up” whose template can be adapted to operate just as effectively in the workplace.
Selected candidates must be on the high-functioning end of the spectrum, with self-sufficiency in daily routines and basic time-management skills. Of the roughly one hundred applicants each year, about 80 percent are accepted. For the new participants here in class, being part of the program fills them with a deep sense of pride and purpose. “I’m here to prove to the world that not all autistic kids are dumb or have trouble with relationships,” one young man, Hillel, tells me, “because it really is a rainbow, it’s a spectrum.”
and continues
"“Autism is a present,” says another, Yosef. “It is a gift to the world, and people on the spectrum can offer a lot to the world. And that’s why I’m here, to spread this word.”
For many of them, this kind of opportunity for self-growth eluded them before in school and at home. “I had problems with really making friends,” a student, Oded, says. “It was like being on an alien planet. . . . I believe I’m not a person with a disability; I’m disabled because society doesn’t put that much effort into integrating me.” Michal, the young woman who presented on the Lebanon war, tells a heartbreaking story of what it felt like to be cast aside when she was young. After being diagnosed with autism at age three, she was sent to a special school at a hospital where “they always treated me like I’m a worthless and stupid girl,” she says. “People told me that autism is not good.”
Part of the problem is the feeling of not being challenged, that skills and interests are going unacknowledged. Gil, another participant, laments how after his diagnosis in fourth grade, he was put into a special class that left him depressed. “I thought, I can’t be in this cage,” he recalls. “I want to be like everyone else.” But he wasn’t simply on par with the NTs in his school; he was in many ways far beyond them. Gil is among the 10 percent of autistics with savant abilities, such as a photographic memory of Japanese history and an aptitude for jujitsu. He shows me a video on his iPhone of him deftly playing the third movement of Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata.” It can take years to learn, but he mastered it in two months by watching his teacher play and memorizing the motion of his fingers. “I try to build some road with my hands, and on this road I can remember which notes to play,” he says.
A passion for specialized knowledge runs through many of the students.
“We have people interested in bitcoin, the fuels of the spaceships, the history of the Holocaust,” says Efrat Selanikyo, an occupational therapist specializing in autism who serves as Roim Rachok’s professional manager. During a class field trip to a historical site, one teen fresh out of high school shocked the archaeologist guide by speaking to him about the area in an ancient and arcane Hebraic language. “He’s on the level of my doctoral students,” the archaeologist told Selanikyo. Another student astonished his father during a vacation to China by speaking fluent Mandarin, which he had recently taught himself."
and Continues
"“I can say it as a parent: There’s a stigma. The word autistic is a hard word.”
Sali wants to ensure that those in Roim Rachok see themselves more positively. “I can say it as a parent: There’s a stigma. The word autistic is a hard word,” she says. “We believe that you should tell somebody, ‘You’re on the autistic spectrum. However, you have strengths, you have abilities, you have potential.’ ” Roim Rachok puts its members’ intelligence, focus, and determination—their “superpowers,” as Gil calls them—to use. Beyond cultivating social and communication skills, the program trains the participants in areas of military intelligence that utilize the unique talents of someone on the spectrum.
In addition to visual analysis, recruits get schooled in information analysis, which means gathering intelligence online. Information warfare—the kind practiced by Russia against the U. S. during the 2016 election—requires analysts who scour the web and make sense of all manner of information, from fake news on Facebook to propaganda videos on YouTube. It’s the perfect task for those in the program, who are able to spend several hours in front of a computer assimilating a flood of data while maintaining intense concentration. This knack also makes the candidates ideal for what’s known as quality assurance, or QA, searching for and fixing bugs in software and hardware.
Not everyone makes it through the initial training phase. One recruit took one look around the room and insisted he was better than the rest. “I’m not like you,” he told them bitterly. “I’m going to be a real soldier.” Even Sali’s own son couldn’t make it, because his anxiety was too high. But the 97 percent who do get through the first stage leave with a sense of self that they never knew was possible. “I love my autism now,” Michal says with a smile after class. “I’m proud of it.”
Corporal Lev and Sergeant Lev, two twenty-one-year-old autistic soldiers now serving in IDF intelligence, share more than a name. After befriending each other in Roim Rachok and working together as visual analysts in Unit 9900, they began sharing an apartment in Tel Aviv, where they play video games and guitar like a lot of young guys their age. But they also share something deeper: pride in being able to serve their country, and confidence that they can do it just as well as, if not better than, their NT peers. As Corporal Lev tells me frankly, “Probably I will be way more motivated than them.”
and continues
"In fact, it didn’t take long after the first class of eleven volunteers joined the IDF for the autistic soldiers to distinguish themselves. Operation Protective Edge, in 2014, entailed comparing tens of thousands of aerial photographs to determine potential terrorist activity. Eitan expected it would take them at least a year. “We’ll see how they do it, and we’ll see what their next mission will be,” he had said. The team members took to their dual-display computers, eyeing picture after picture after picture of terrain around the Israeli border, looking for signs of cars or bombs or terrorists.
It’s the kind of mind-numbing, detail-oriented work that would leave NTs with dry eyes and wandering minds, if they managed to persist at all. “Any regular soldier wouldn’t last in this duty more than a month, because it’s very Sisyphean and boring,” Eitan says. But day after day, the autistic soldiers rose to the task. “They enjoy repetitive work,” as Selanikyo puts it. “They like the routine.” What was supposed to take twelve months they finished in three—earning a special commendation from the IDF. “It’s not because they’re autistic,” Eitan says. “It’s because they did great work.” It’s now become expected that Roim Rachok soldiers will not only outlast NTs but also approach their commanders requesting extra work.
The benefits, however, don’t come without challenges, for either the autistics or the NTs who work with them. The Roim Rachok soldiers can easily overwork themselves. They must be told to take a break and clear their minds; otherwise they would keep going until they burned out. During training, Gil became obsessed with determining the location of a monument in a satellite photo. It haunted him day and night that he couldn’t figure it out. “I will not stop until I find it,” he tells me. “But in the middle I will get very tired. I will be very sad because I can’t find it. Not eat. Nothing. Not sleep. When I go to sleep, I will think how to find it. Never stop.”
They can also be brutally blunt and expect the same in return. “You have to make sure everything you’re saying is clear, without bullshitting, without being embarrassed about it,” says David Kreizelman, the military-history instructor in Roim Rachok. “They can misread social cues and hurt people,” Selanikyo says. “They’ll say, ‘Oh, you are very fat’ or ‘Why did you cut your hair that way?’ ” (When one of them learns this magazine’s name, he says, “It’s very funny that this is published by the publication that sounds like the most punchable aristocrat ever, Esquire.”)
and continues
""Sometimes we're not sure whether they can understand what is classified and what is not.”
Since the soldiers are working in sensitive military intelligence, though, the risks run far deeper than hurt feelings. A difficulty in reading social cues can manifest as an inability to distinguish right from wrong. “Sometimes we’re not sure whether they can keep a secret or not, whether they can understand what is classified and what is not,” Selanikyo says. “It’s a very serious situation.” They can be a weapon that falls into the wrong hands. “They’re sometimes very naive, and they believe what other people say,” Selanikyo continues. “So they may be exploited.”
One Roim Rachok soldier, who desperately wanted to be friends with other soldiers, was talked into stealing items from stores and holding weed for the NTs. He had to be let go as a result. Another’s trust was taken advantage of by NTs who would sell him cheap goods—like headphones—for twenty-five times the appropriate price. The concern is that an enemy could find out that these people are soldiers and extract top-secret information in a similar way.
Maintaining privacy is paramount in the IDF, which has restrictions on allowing soldiers to post pictures of themselves in uniform on social media—and thereby put their lives at risk. But one autistic soldier let himself be filmed playing video games and was soon on gaming sites compromising his identity. Enemies could then make contact over the Internet—one tried to approach a soldier claiming to be his cousin. “They could ask him for information,” Selanikyo says, “and we are not sure he can understand.”
Still, of the hundreds of volunteers who have been placed in the IDF, 86 percent have been able to stick it out. This high success rate is due to Roim Rachok’s extensive support efforts, which ensure not only that the soldiers adhere to the requirements of service but also that they receive the help they need. Each volunteer meets with a psychotherapist once a week for emotional counseling and an occupational therapist once a week for help navigating the workplace. This isn’t just for their benefit. “It’s needed for them, for the commanders, for their colleagues,” Vardi says. “And this is the kind of support people on the spectrum will need all their lives.”
and continues
"Now that it’s going into its sixth year, Roim Rachok is beginning to fulfill its ultimate mission: transitioning its soldiers from the IDF into the job market. “We’re using the stage of the military to give these young adults the experience of work so they can utilize it in life,” Vardi says. Intel and eBay are among the first companies in Israel to hire people from the program. The skills the autistics learn—from quality assurance to information analysis—is directly applicable in many high-tech fields. And the soldiers’ focus and dedication are equally valued.
In fact, what has long been considered a liability is starting to be seen as an asset. Neurodiversity—a term that applies to a variety of conditions, such as dyslexia, ADHD, and autism—is a burgeoning movement that seeks to “reject the idea that autism should be cured,” according to a statement from the National Symposium on Neurodiversity at Syracuse University, “advocating instead for celebrating autistic forms of communication and self-expression, and for promoting support systems that allow autistic people to live as autistic people.” The notion is catching on among corporations, which are cultivating and capitalizing on this population’s powers of concentration and understanding of complex systems. “It’s a talent pool that really hasn’t been tapped,” Jenny Lay-Flurrie, the chief accessibility officer at tech giant Microsoft, told CBS News last year. In addition to Microsoft, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Ford, IBM, Ernst & Young, and JPMorgan Chase are some of the companies exploring how to include autistic people in the workforce.
One afternoon, I visit Barak, the first graduate of Roim Rachok to enter the corporate world, and his family at their apartment outside Tel Aviv. Having volunteered in QA for three years at the IDF, he now works for Intel finding bugs in computer chips. A twenty-two-year-old with dark hair and a Nirvana T-shirt, Barak is rocking cross-legged in a reclining chair, clutching a small, purple plastic box. “This is my hobbies box,” he tells me. “There are many, many surprises there.” He takes out a deck of cards and begins shuffling them over and over. Barak’s parents, who have a fifteen-year-old daughter who is also autistic, both worked in army intelligence and never thought their son would be able to follow in their footsteps. “I couldn’t even imagine that he would join the army,” his mother, Dalia, says with tears in her eyes."
and lastly says
"Though Barak scored in the upper end on intelligence tests in grade school, he says he struggled to fit in. “High school was hell,” he tells me. “There was a group that I wanted to integrate with, but they didn’t seem to want this too, so they sneaked away from me.” But he’s happy to have found his place among the others in Roim Rachok, whom he considers lifelong friends. “They were always there for me,” he says, “and they will always be there for me.” Vardi and Sali are now expanding their program into further areas of Israeli society, training and placing autistics in the Land Authority and the transportation industry. Other nations are taking note. Singapore is among those looking to emulate the program for people on the spectrum in their own country. In the Netherlands, a police detective agency, after consulting with Roim Rachok, hired autistics to crack a cold case. The police force had the team examine hundreds of hours of city-surveillance footage looking for a suspected murderer—one whom they ultimately found and brought to justice.
In the meantime, Roim Rachok continues to school more and more teens in Israel. The program now runs three groups of recruits per year. The volunteers look forward to the day when they will put on their uniforms and serve their country at last. “I feel like it’s a miracle,” Gil tells me with a smile. “I feel like it will be a dream come true.”

"Friends of the Israel Defense Forces Gala Raises Record $60 Million for Soldiers"
By MARGEAUX SIPPELL
Haim Saban and Ashton KutcherFriends of the Israel Defense Forces western regional gala, Los Angeles, USA - 01 Nov 2018
the article says
"Raising an all-time high of $60 million, Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF) topped last year’s record-breaking fundraiser by $6.2 million at the annual FIDF Western Region Gala, held at the Beverly Hilton on Thursday evening.
In his speech, gala chair Haim Saban saluted the Israeli soldiers who were honored for outstanding service. “Tonight you have seen up close the unbreakable spirit and the unimaginable bravery of our IDF soldiers and their families,” said Saban, who chaired the gala along with his wife, Cheryl, for their 12th consecutive year. “Standing behind these heroes is one of my greatest honors in my life.”
The money raised goes to support IDF soldiers, and the families of fallen soldiers and wounded veterans through social, cultural, recreational, and educational programs. Several donations from Thursday night will go directly to the Impact Scholarship Program, dedicated to helping combat veterans return to school. In addition to helping Israeli veterans, the organization seeks to maintain and nourish the strong bond between communities in the United States and the state of Israel.
The star-studded event included appearances from Gerard Butler, Ashton Kutcher, Katharine McPhee and fiance David Foster, Andy Garcia, Fran Drescher, and Israeli actors Ronalee Shimon and Yaakov Daniel from Netflix’s political thriller series “Fauda.”

Providing entertainment was musical guest Pharrell Williams, who took a moment to share a few words about last week’s deadly shooting in a Pittsburgh synagogue.
“Look, what happened in that synagogue was incredibly cruel, it was wrong, and it’s not supposed to be what our nation is,” Williams said. “This group of people have been tested over and over and over again … but you guys show an incredible resilience.”
He closed the evening with a performance of “Happy.” “This song reminds us of something you can use when you’re down, when things are discouraging,” Williams said. “So, that being said, let’s celebrate right now. Let’s be happy.”

"Celebrities Help Raise Record $60 Million for IDF"
By David Lange - November 3, 2018
the article says
"Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF) raised a record $60 million at its annual Western Region Gala last Thursday evening. And there were plenty of celebrities there to show their support, including Ashton Kutcher, Pharrell Williams, Gerard Butler, Andy Garcia, Fran Drescher, Ziggy Marley, David Foster, Katharine McPhee, and my personal friend David Draiman.
In a town of anti-Israel knuckleheads, it is heartening to see there are plenty of celebrities who not only support Israel, but do it publicly and proudly."

"The Israel Test: Why the World's Most Besieged State is a Beacon of Freedom and Hope for the World Economy" Second Edition
by George Gilder (Author), Joe Lieberman (Foreword)" Published in 2012
The Description of the book "The Israel Test" from Amazon.com it says
"In this book, George Gilder asserts that widespread antagonism toward the current state of Israel springs from, like anti-Semitism everywhere, envy of superior accomplishment. Israel’s sudden rise as a world capitalist and technological power, he argues, stems in part from the Jewish "culture of mind" and in part from Judaism itself, which, “perhaps more than any other religion, favors capitalist activity and provides a rigorous moral framework for it.” Critics of Israel—in the U.S., in the surrounding countries of the Middle East and in Western European nations that are facing socialist decline—have failed the “Israel Test” because they seek to tear down this country’s success rather than emulate it. America’s ability and desire to defend Israel will define our future survival as a nation: “If Israel is destroyed,” he says, “capitalist Europe will likely die as well, and America, as the epitome of productive and creative capitalism spurred by Jews, will be in jeopardy."
Several Years ago a Jewish Friend of mine told me about how when he was visiting
Israel in 1969 , he saw this huge beautiful Rainbow, most beautiful rainbow, and how he knew in his heart that the beautiful Rainbow was not just an ordinary Rainbow but a Literal Sign from God , that God was smiling upon Israel and it's Jewish Population, Smiling at Israel, that God was blessing Israel and Protecting Israel and that Never Again would there be another Holocaust , that Israel and it's Jewish Population would NEVER be destroyed , that God would NEVER allow that to Happen, and it will Never Happen, Numerous Other Christians have Pointed that Israel will NEVER be Destroyed, God won't let it happen, it will never happen, and not to worry, God will Never allow anyone or anything to destroy Israel , NEVER, they said Iran will Never destroy Israel, Nothing will Destroy Israel, Amen to that, Israel will NEVER be Destroyed

"10 spectacular rainbows over Israel"
In honor of Israel’s rainbow season, ISRAEL21c brings you 10 gorgeous photos of colorful arches streaking the sky across the country.

Roy G. Biv is one of Israel’s most beloved rainy-season visitors, and oh what a colorful character he is!
Roy. G. Biv, of course, is the mnemonic that American schoolchildren learn to remember the spectrum of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. The arc of color is caused by reflection, refraction and dispersion of light as it passes into and out of water droplets under specific conditions.

Prime time for Israeli rainbows is October-November and March-April, explains Tel Aviv University geodynamics professor Pinhas Alpert.

“In order to get a nice rainbow you need two essential conditions, one relatively simple – rainfall, and the other more difficult — sun at the same time as the rain,” Alpert tells ISRAEL21c. “The beginning and the end of the rainy season frequently have these conditions of sporadic rainfall, and this is particularly true for the subtropical belt in which Israel is located.”

Rainbows also depend on two additional microscale conditions: strong solar rays and large raindrops — both found in Israel, he adds.

“Large raindrops do not exist normally in higher latitudes because of colder temperatures and cloud cover, so rainbows are much rarer in Europe. And in the tropics, you rarely have solar radiation even though you have large drops,” says Alpert, who published a study in the journal of the American Meteorological Society in 1990 on the uniqueness of Jerusalem’s climate, including its big raindrops.

Alpert says you’re most likely to see rainbows on the edge of Israel’s desert areas and between Tel Aviv and Beersheva.

In the case of a single rainbow, the arch shape is centered 42 degrees above the horizon. Alpert says sometimes double or even triple rainbows appear; with a double rainbow, the intensity is weaker, the angle is different and the colors appear in the opposite order.

In Genesis 9:14, the rainbow is described as a sign of God’s promise never to cause a flood to destroy the entire world again following the deluge in which Noah and his family and many animals are saved in a wooden ark. This year, the biblical account of Noah will be read in synagogues on November 5, a perfect time for rainbows to appear on the Israeli horizon.

An online article by a Jewish Believer in Jesus States
"Do you want proof that antisemitism (or, Jew-hatred) is alive and well today? Just confront it and expose it and watch what happens next. The Jew-haters will come out in force, repeating every standard antisemitic trope and telling you that antisemitism doesn’t exist — because the Jews are evil.
In recent weeks, I confronted the antisemitic comments of a Christian TV host and a conservative comedian.
In response, I have been accused of being a filthy Zionist shill, a false follower of Jesus, and much more. No surprise there, although, to be honest, some of the accusers are incredibly creative in their attacks. A case in point would be this comment, which takes the prize for absurdity: “Look at the sunken pits under the eyes….----- is infested with devils and profanes the mustache.” Ah, I profane the mustache indeed!
Or perhaps better still was the accusation that I’m “probably” Israeli intelligence or a Zionist activist. I confess! It’s all true!
But along with the personal accusations, commenters have accused the Jews of being the most vile, destructive, perverse, and ugly beings on the planet. To paraphrase and summarize, “These filthy Jews deserve whatever they get. And I’m not an antisemite!”
On a personal level, I’ve seen comments like these (along with many others that cannot be printed):
“Do you rape children too? Is that why you are protecting the Satanist Talmud worshiping Jews?
“You’ve exposed yourself as a Talmudic, Kabbalistic, Zionist son of Satan…poor idiot!”
“Rot in hell you false prophet. You hater of God. You Judaizer.”
“You are of your father of the devil, everything comes out of your mouth is a lie, you are a serpent, antiChrist son of a wh*re.”
Yes, this is what happens when you expose the lies of antisemitism. You are repaid with a flood of filth.
The Heart and Essence of Antisemitism
More disturbing, however, is the flood of filth that comes against the Jewish people as a whole. That is the heart and essence of antisemitism. (For the official US government definition of antisemitism, go here.)
To be clear, I believe you can criticize Jewish people or the nation of Israel without being an antisemite. And you can reject the inspiration or validity of the Talmud without being an antisemite. But when you demonize the Jewish people as a people. When you lie about them and slander their very nature. When you perpetuate false and exaggerated stereotypes, then you are an antisemite.
For example, responding to the idea that “the Jews own all the money,” I noted how often Jews have been expelled from other countries or have been deprived of good jobs or have been forced to live in ghettos. (The Jewish poverty depicted in Fiddler on the Roof has been common through Jewish history.)
How did the critics respond? Here’s one representative quote: “Why do you think they got kicked out of 109 countries in the first place? If you get kicked out of a 109 super markets, is it because they’re all racist and hate you? Only an idiot would even entertain that.”
the article continues
"Actually, a thinking person would dig a little deeper and realize that it was largely because the Jewish people refused to abandon their faith that they were kicked out of many countries. Often, they were ordered to convert or get out, and most refused to convert. (To cite one example, all non-baptized Jews were expelled from Spain in 1492.)
But the critics will have none of this. No, it is the Jews who are evil. That’s why they’ve been expelled.
This is like saying the reason a black teenager got kicked out of 109 all-white schools was because he was evil. Right.
Yet the critics (who claim I’m lying when I expose antisemitism), don’t want to stop at 109 nations. As one commenter stated this week, “Jews were expelled from Spain because they let in the Muslims… The very same tactic Jews are applying today to destroy Christian Western Nations…. Let’s make it 110… And NEVER AGAIN!!”
Yes, expel the Jews from America! The Jews must go!
You see, they do own all the money. They do control Hollywood and the media. They are the source of all the world’s problems. They just haven’t figured out how to stay out of their own way, since with all their might and power, they haven’t learned how to avoid getting slaughtered.
Antisemitism Doesn’t Even Make Sense
It would appear, then, that the Jews are really smart but also really dumb – that is, if you even try to make sense out of antisemitism.
Reading some of the comments posted in response to my videos, I’ve learned that today’s Jews are not really Jews; that all of them are the synagogue of Satan (talk about a misuse of Revelation 2:9 and 3:9); that all of them killed Christ; that they are parasites; that they support pedophilia; and that Zionism is terrorism. (And much, much more.)
In the words of one critic, “Jews in America deserve ridicule. They literally contribute the most to our degenerate behavior.”
Is it true that there are highly influential Jewish atheists and Jewish pornographers? Is it true that George Soros is Jewish and that radical-left groups like the ACLU and the SPLC have a high percentage of Jewish leadership? Is it true that Karl Marx was Jewish and that some of the key activists of the 1960s’ counterculture revolution were Jews? Absolutely.
But is it also true that there is a disproportionate percentage of Jewish philanthropists, of Jewish Nobel Prize winners, and of Jewish charitable organizations? Absolutely. (For an enlightening read, check out George Gilder’s book The Israel Test: Why the World’s Most Besieged State is a Beacon of Freedom and Hope for the World Economy.)
And is it also true that some of the most important conservative voices in America today are Jewish (from Dennis Prager to Ben Shapiro to David Horowitz)? That some of the most inspiring, morally-lifting books ever written have been written by Jews? Absolutely. (I’m thinking of books like Moshe Chaim Luzzatto’s Path of the Just, or of a number of books by Abraham Joshua Heschel.)"
The article lastly says
"What’s so interesting for me is that, as a Jewish believer in Jesus, I’m in constant conflict with my people. I believe they need Jesus as their Savior. I reject the authority of the Talmud. I don’t hesitate to criticize Israel when I believe the nation is at fault. I can give you a long list of our national and personal failings.
Yet, when I confront antisemitic lies and expose dangerous, exaggerated stereotypes, I’m a “fake Jew,” a “crypto-Jew,” and not a true follower of Jesus, the Jewish Messiah.
The King Will Come, a Glorified Jew
In the new edition of ,------- I highlight some of the most shocking examples of contemporary antisemitism (along with dangerous theological developments). But a careful reader will note that only the names and dates have really changed. The libels are the same.
The antisemitism of the last generation is the antisemitism of today. And it will likely be here until Jesus returns – but not beyond. As I’ve often said, it will be a bad day for the antisemites when the King who comes breaking through the clouds is a glorified Jew."

"Nintendo opened their second store today, 14 years after Nintendo NY"
It's about time!
By Adam Sherrill June 24, 2019
the article says
"Nintendo has finally launched its second-ever retail location today at the Dizengoff Center, a mall located in Tel Aviv, Israel. This new Nintendo Israel comes 14 years after the first Nintendo store, currently known as Nintendo New York / Nintendo NY, launched in 2005. The new location also opened just a few months after an official online store went live in Israel.
Nintendo further plans to open a sister location in Tokyo later this year. Hopefully, these new store openings are a sign of more to come. Nintendo fans all around the world would love to have a place to hang out other than in New York.
The store in New York was previously known as Nintendo World. Before 2005, the store was only used for Pokémon merchandise and it was appropriately named The Pokémon Center.
Since opening day, Nintendo NY has often been a place for Nintendo fans to gather and watch live broadcasts of official announcements. The store also features displays of Nintendo’s long history with video games, showcasing items like the Power Glove and the Virtual Boy.
Some items at Nintendo New York couldn’t possibly be displayed elsewhere, like the Game Boy that survived the Gulf War explosion. But it would be really awesome to see Nintendo spread their displays of gaming history around the world. It would also just be really cool to go to a store officially from Nintendo.
So to all of the Nintendo fans in Israel, we hope you enjoy the grand opening of Nintendo Israel! Here’s to hoping it’s just as cool as Nintendo NY!"

"History of Sega in Israel"
History of Sega in Israel
Sega distributor(s): Bug Multisystem (1990-1993) , Suny Electronics (1993-1998), Hed Arzi (200x-present) the article says
"The first distributor of Sega on the Israeli market was Bug Multisystem which in 1990 started distributing the Sega Master System console. In 1992, Sega Game Gear, Sega Master System II and Sega Mega Drive I were released. All consoles appeared in the European PAL system. The cooperation was completed in 1993 when Bug Multisystem decided to focus on Nintendo consoles.
At that time Sega became interested in businessman Ilan Ben-Dov who imported Sega consoles from around 1987. He founded in 1991 the company Suny Electronics which sold Sega products (mainly American versions) and Nintendo products (most of them were famiclones). In 1993, he founded Sunny Communication which became known as Sega Israel. From now on, the consoles started appearing in Israel at a very similar time to the European premiere. Every system released by Suny was the same seen in Europe. The company has released Sega Mega Drive II,Sega Mega-CD II, Sega 32X, Sega Saturn. The company has also begun fighting against clones of Mega Drive and US imported versions of the consoles through ads showing differences between official consoles. In 1996, Sega Enterprises Israel was created .The company was involved in importing arcades to Israel.[1] From 2007, the name was changed to Astela Asets & Investments Ltd[2].In 1998, Suny broke the deal and began distributing Samsung cell phones. Sega Dreamcast was also released in Israel but it went without much interest.
Nowadays, the representative of the company is Hed Arzi.[3]Red Vault from Red Entertainment Distribution is also available in this country.[4]
In 1996, TCI's technology group got the rights to distribute Sega Channel in Israel , but it is not known that the service was launched there.

Joe Whitehead, what do you think of this article on the website stream.org titled
"Is the ‘Reckless’ Donald Trump Like the ‘Reckless’ King Jehu?"
Published on July 2, 2019 • 10 Comments
the article says
"By now, we’re used to hearing comparisons between President Trump and King Cyrus. Cyrus was an idol-worshipping king, yet Isaiah prophesied that God would use him to restore the Judean exiles and rebuild Jerusalem. And he did (see Isaiah 44-45). In similar ways, evangelical leaders have suggested that Trump, who was hardly a Christian, would be used to help their cause.
But is there another biblical king to whom Trump can also be compared, namely King Jehu?
Modern King Jehu and Queen Jezebel
Joel Pollak, an Orthodox Jew and senior editor for Breitbart.com, made this very comparison. He wrote, “In many ways, Trump is reminiscent of the biblical King Jehu, an outsider who was anointed to rule Israel and rid it of corruption. … Jehu also dispatched Ahab’s widow, the wicked Queen Jezebel, who had urged her late husband to persecute the prophets.”
He added, “Jehu continued his aggressive campaign to rid the kingdom of corruption. He ordered the execution of seventy of Ahab’s sons, and used an ingenious ruse to slaughter all the remaining supporters of Baal, luring them to a temple by promising that he would also worship the idol and then ordering his guards to kill them. Though his methods were unconventional, Jehu earned the support of Jehonadab the son of Rechab, widely respected for his morals.”
Trump, then, would be reminiscent of a Jehu-like figure. He is the man who defeated Hillary Clinton, a Jezebel-type figure. She is a pioneer feminist who has stood against godly values.
Jonathan Cahn’s Similar Comparisons
Interestingly, Messianic Jewish author Jonathan Cahn made similar comparisons in his book The Paradigm: The Ancient Blueprint That Holds the Mystery of Our Times. But Cahn took them much further.
First, he said, as Israel was in Ahab’s day, America was at a crossroads in the 2016 elections. Had Hillary Clinton been elected, “It would have sealed the Supreme Court for a generation. It would have ended religious liberty.”
“Jehu was not a politician, and Donald Trump was not a politician. Jehu was a fighter. Donald Trump is a fighter. Actually, he fights with everybody!”
As Cahn explained, “Jehu was not a gentleman. Well? Jehu was kind of wild, kind of out of control, and you never knew what he was going to do next. Do I have to say anything? Jehu would come on the national stage suddenly and shake up the status quo, and so, too, with Donald Trump. … Jehu had not lived a godly life, and neither has Donald Trump. Now this warrior is used, despite himself, for God’s purposes in this moment.”
As for Jehu being “wild, kind of out of control,” Cahn pointed to 2 Kings 9:20. In that text, a watchman reporting on a rider coming to Samaria said that “the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he driveth furiously” (KJV). Other translations render the last words with: “he drives like a maniac” (NIV; TLV; NRSV); “he drives like a madman” (CSB); he “drives wildly” (NJPSV); or, “he drives recklessly” (NET). Does this sound familiar?
Third, “Jehu the warrior will come head to head against the former First Lady. Then there will come a showdown.” So, too, with Trump and Hillary, whom also likened to a Jezebel-type, pioneer feminist figure. Cahn sought to buttress his argument with further, detailed parallels, also likening Jehonadab to Pence.
What are we to make of such comparisons?
Bringing Radical Feminism to the Surface
To be sure, they are nothing more than comparisons. And Hillary Clinton is hardly the same as Jezebel, a woman who actually slaughtered the prophets of Israel."
the article continues
"What does seem clear is this: An alpha male leader like Donald Trump will come into direct conflict with the radical, feminist spirit — the spirit of Jezebel.
What does seem clear is this (and this holds true whether you love Trump or loathe him): An alpha male leader like Donald Trump will come into direct conflict with the radical, feminist spirit, the spirit of Jezebel. It cannot be avoided.
In short, the Trump candidacy, followed by the Trump presidency, has brought the worst of radical feminism to the surface.
In that sense, it has caused Jezebel to come out of the shadows and into the forefront.
In that sense, Trump is like Jehu, the man who drove “recklessly,” the leader who drove like a “madman,” like a “maniac.”
We’ve Seen This Before
Just consider some of these disparaging headlines describing President Trump (with my emphasis in bold):
“DONALD TRUMP IS RECKLESS, ERRATIC AND INCOMPETENT, ACCORDING TO BUSINESS LEADERS AROUND THE WORLD” (Newsweek, June 23, 2017)
“Majority of voters think Trump is reckless, poll says” (Detroit Free Press, October 25, 2017)
“Poll: Majorities think Trump is reckless, profane and sexist” (The Hill, January 28, 2018)
“Trump’s not a liar. He’s a madman.” (Washington Post, May 29, 2018)
“War of words: Trump, visionary or madman?” (The Telegraph, May 25, 2018)
“A Virginia Democrat called Trump a ‘narcissistic maniac.’ And he’s not the liberal in the race!” (CNN; June 5, 2017)
Shades of descriptions of Jehu!
Trump is a hated man, especially among liberal women. To them, he is the ultimate example of a powerful, sexist, abusive male. That’s why, at a massive women’s march immediately after Trump came into office, Madonna openly expressed her desire to blow up the White House. Later that same year, comedienne Kathy Griffin held up the bloodied likeness of the president’s decapitated head. And month by month, witches have gathered to curse and hex him.
Shades of the spirit of Jezebel!
Her Agenda is Being Threatened
Just note this Yahoo News headline from December 21, 2018: “Witchcraft moves to the mainstream in America as Christianity declines – and has Trump in its sights.” (Jezebel was also associated with witchcraft and sorcery in the Bible.)
To be sure, there is a lot of female anger towards Trump because of his ugly, sexist past, including both alleged actions and recorded comments. This is totally understandable, also causing many of these women to ask how any evangelical Christian could vote for him, support him, or work for him.
But the truth be told, some of the female anger towards Trump — really, it is outright rage — is due to the fact that he has become a pro-life champion, one of the more surprising developments in political memory. He is standing for God’s cause, just as Jehu did. His Supreme Court appointees could threaten Roe v. Wade, which is one of Jezebel’s most carefully guided prizes. And these women will fight and scratch and claw to keep their “right” to abort.
A man like Trump, for better or worse, brings an angry, even hysterical, radical feminist spirit to the surface.
And that is why Jezebel is so enraged. Her agenda is being threatened. She is confronting her Jehu again" from the website stream.org , Trump is doing an OK job in many ways,
The website www1.cbn.com has an article titled
"These Are The Four Biblical Prophecies Playing Out In Israel Right Now" the article on CBN.COM gives The Christian Perspective
08-11-2018
Rabbi Tuly Weisz
the article says
"When President Donald Trump moved the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem many people of faith quickly recognized the biblical significance of such a move. Trump, like King Cyrus before him, fulfilled biblical prophecy, by recognizing that Jerusalem is the eternal capital of the Jewish state and that the Jewish people deserve a righteous, free and sovereign Israel.
However, this was not the first time in the modern State of Israel’s short 70 years that it has played a role in the fulfillment of biblical prophecy. Many of the miracles we are witnessing in Israel today were promised in the Bible long ago.
The Ingathering of the Jewish Exiles from the Four Corners of the World
It says in Ezekiel 34:13, “And I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them.”
This month, for the first time Israel has overtaken America to become the world’s largest Jewish population center. The surge in the Jewish community is thought to have been fueled by returning members of the diaspora.
In addition, the total Jewish population has reached 6 million, which carries added significance as this was the number of Jews killed in the Holocaust.
Spiritual Partnership Between Jews and Christians
The State of Israel, however, was not born through Jewish toil alone. Rather, as prophesied in Ezra 6:14 – “And according to the decree of Koresh, and Daryavesh, and Artachshasta king of Paras” – the State of Israel was birthed out of a spiritual partnership between Jews and non-Jews."
the article continues
"
In biblical times, it was Cyrus’ edict that allowed the people of Israel to return to the land of Israel and rebuild the Temple. In 1917, it was the British government’s Balfour Declaration that turned the tide for the Jews in exile. Similarly, in 1948, when U.S. President Harry Truman recognized the State of Israel, he said, “I am Cyrus.” In the cases of Cyrus, Balfour, Truman and now Trump, it was non-Jews serving as God’s agents who facilitated the return of the Jewish people to their land.
We read in Isaiah 49:22, that the Lord will “beckon to the Nations, I will lift up my banner to the Peoples. They will bring your sons in their arms and carry your daughters on their hips.” This prophecy is being fulfilled by the unprecedented number of non-Jews who visit, support and pray for Israel.
The Revitalization of the Hebrew Language
The prophet Zephaniah describes how in the end of days all the nations of the world will have “purity of speech.” “For then I will make the peoples pure of speech, so that they all invoke Hashem by name and serve Him with one accord” (Zephaniah 3:9). We understand from Zephaniah that all the nations of the world will study Hebrew to call out the name of God together in His holy language.
Thanks in large parts to the efforts of Eliezer Ben Yehuda (1858-1922), who decided that “in order to have our own land and political life it is also necessary that we have our own language to hold us together,” Hebrew is the official language of the State of Israel.

In recent years, there has been growing interest by Christian Zionists to learn Hebrew, which is likely a step toward the redemption described by Zephaniah. Moreover, there has been an outpouring of interest by Christians to learn Torah from Jews.
Isaiah chapter 2 describes that in the end of days, the nations will stream up to Jerusalem for Torah “shall come forth from Zion, The word of Hashem from Yerushalayim” (Isaiah 2:3). Since the founding of the State of Israel — and even more so in the last decade — the Bible is being used as a source of unity between Jews and Christians, beginning to fulfill Isaiah’s vision and the Jews’ historic mandate to be a light unto the nations. That’s one of the reasons I created “The Israel Bible,” so both Jews and non-Jews could study the Bible, read study notes from leading Jewish Bible scholars, and see the vital connection between the people of Israel and the land of Israel"
the article lastly says
"Rebirth of the Physical Land of Israel
For nearly two millennia, while the land of Israel switched hands between various foreign powers, including the Romans, the Muslims and the Ottomans, the land lay utterly desolate. But just as the prophet Isaiah predicted, “He hath comforted all her waste places, and hath made her wilderness like Eden” (51:3).
The modern rebirth of the Jewish state in 1948 has brought with it an astounding development of the land, to the point where once again the Jewish people can claim a flourishing country all their own. The desert is literally blooming and growing. And in the realms of technology and culture, Israel ranks among the most advanced countries of the world.
Indeed, we are witnessing the Lord comfort “all her waste places.”

"JOSEPH FARAH SPEAKS...
Joseph Farah is a Christian Arab-American, who has been writing on the Middle East for many years. He can be found on WorldNetDaily
www.worldNetDaily.com
Here are snippets from some of his articles...
“Ever since I wrote a column last October called "Myths of the Middle East," readers from around the world have asked me what is meant by the term "Palestinian." The simple answer is that it means whatever Yasser Arafat wants it to mean. Arafat himself was born in Egypt. He later moved to Jerusalem. Indeed, most of the Arabs living within the borders of Israel today have come from some other Arab country at some time in their life. For instance, just since the beginning of the Oslo Accords, more than 400,000 Arabs have entered the West Bank or Gaza. They have come from Jordan, Egypt and, indirectly, from every other Arab country you can name.
The Arabs have built 261 settlements in the West Bank since 1967. We don't hear much about those settlements. We hear instead about the number of Jewish settlements that have been created. We hear how destabilizing they are -- how provocative they are. Yet, by comparison, only 144 Jewish settlements have been built since 1967 -- including those surrounding Jerusalem, in the West Bank and in Gaza.
...And that raises a question I never hear anyone ask: If Israel's policies make life so intolerable for Arabs, why do they continue to flock to the Jewish state? This is an important question as we see the Palestinian debate now shift to the issue of "the right of return." According to the most liberal claims by Arab sources, some 600,000 to 700,000 Arabs left Israel in and around 1948 when the Jewish state was created. Most were not forced out by Jews, but rather left at the urging of Arab leaders who had declared war on Israel. Yet, there are far more Arabs living in these territories now than ever before.
...What is a Palestinian? If any Arabs have legitimate claims on property in Israel, it must be those who were illegally deprived of their land and homes after 1948. Arafat has no such claim. And few if any of those shooting, bombing and terrorizing Israelis today do either.

The Description of the book "Your People Shall Be My People" by Don Finto from Amazon.com
says
"Now updated and expanded, this landmark text reveals God's purposes for his covenant people in these times--and how this revelation is impacting the church. Unlike Ruth in the Old Testament, many of us have turned our backs on the Jewish people, the relatives of the Messiah, and we share the collective guilt for centuries of their persecution. These pages remind us that now, more than ever, we must confess, embrace, and intercede for the chosen people of God, aligning our prayers with God's plan.
Once again, Israel and her people are center stage at a crucial moment in world history, and this book shows why the church must effect reconciliation and why our prayers are vital in this hour. If we will make the same covenant pledge to Israel that Ruth made to Naomi, the church will never be the same!"

"Nearly 60,000 attend Jennifer Lopez’s first concert in Israel"
“There was nothing that was going to stop us from being in Israel. Nothing,” said The superstar’s manager, Benny Medina.

(August 2, 2019 / JNS) Tel Aviv’s Hayarkon Park was packed on Thursday night with nearly 60,000 people gathered to watch pop icon Jennifer Lopez, aka “J.Lo,” give her first concert in Israel.
Lopez, who recently celebrated her 50th birthday, did six outfit changes during the 90-minute set, and sang both her new and classic hit songs, including “Love Don’t Cost a Thing,” “I’m Real,” “Dinero” and “Limitless.”
Concert organizers added additional space two days ahead of the show to accommodate the number of fans wanting to attend the sold-out concert, according The Jerusalem Post.
Lopez told the crowd that she loved them multiple times, both in Hebrew and English, and concluded the night by telling the audience, “Tel Aviv, what an amazing night this has been. I want to thank you for coming to celebrate with me. Shalom! I learned how to say this—Ani ohev otcha, which is Hebrew for “I love you.”
The superstar’s manager, Benny Medina, told Israel’s Channel 12 that despite efforts by supporters of the anti-Israel BDS movement to dissuade Lopez from performing in Tel Aviv, nothing would stop the singer from putting on a show for her Israeli fans."
“There was nothing that was going to stop us from being in Israel. Nothing,” said Medina. “It’s really simple. Tel Aviv and Israel deserve Jennifer Lopez, and Jennifer Lopez deserves Israel.”
The “All I Have” singer is making six international stops, with Israel being the first, on her “It’s My Party” tour" This website JNS.org offers good documentation of

From Wikipedia it says about the late Hamza bin Laden ,
"Death
"It was reported on 31 July 2019 that the U.S. had obtained intelligence that bin Laden was dead in an air strike.[36][37] The report said he was killed sometime during the first two years of the Trump administration, and that the United States government had a role in the operation.[38] According to one unnamed official, he may have been killed in a military operation targeting someone else.[39] The location was not revealed.[40] U.S. intelligence officials first learned about his death when Al Qaeda members were overheard discussing whether to keep it a secret; his death was not confirmed until 2019.[39] The death of Hamza bin Laden was seen as a blow to the future of al-Qaeda, given the difficulty the organization would face with fielding another charismatic leader capable of drawing younger recruits.[41]"
His last known public statement was in 2018.[42] He was reportedly already dead in February 2019 when the State Department offered a reward for his whereabouts.[43]" good that
Hamza was killed

"Recalling The Real King Hussein"
By Jason Maoz - February 9, 2018
the article says :
King Hussein of Jordan
* “Kill the Jews wherever you find them. Kill them with your arms, with your hands, with your nails and teeth.” (King Hussein, Radio Amman, June 6, 1967)
* Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser: Will his majesty make an announcement on the participation of the Americans and the British?… Will we say the U.S. and England or just the U.S.?
King Hussein: The U.S. and England.
Nasser: Good. King Hussein will make an announcement and I will make an announcement.
King Hussein: Thank You.
(Conversation picked up by Israeli intelligence, June 1967, as Nasser and Hussein plotted to lie about U.S. and British participation in Israel’s sweeping military triumph.)
* “After we perform our duty in liberating the West Bank and Jerusalem, our national duty is to liberate all the Arab territories.” (King Hussein, Radio Amman, Dec. 1, 1973)
* “The removal of the Israeli occupation from our occupied land, Palestine, is the first and basic condition for just peace…. The Islamic nation and just believers in any religion or creed will not accept the situation of the…cradle of prophets and divine messages being captive of Zionist occupation.” (King Hussein, Amman Domestic Service, July 11, 1988)"
the article continues
"There was something so false in the universal acclaim for Jordan’s King Hussein on the occasion of his death nineteen years ago on Feb. 7 – false because most media accounts failed to offer a full reckoning of the Jordanian monarch’s life, with journalists whitewashing or ignoring its many inconvenient chapters and plentiful examples of ugly rhetoric.
And the whitewash continues to this day, with Hussein widely viewed through the fog of history as something of a principled moderate who yearned to be a peacemaker.
In sharp contrast to the late Sid Zion, who in his New York Daily News column noted Hussein’s bloodthirsty instructions to his troops during the Six-Day War, the tone adopted by much of the media in covering Hussein’s demise was reflected in the sugary prose of another Daily News columnist, who wrote (diabetics are duly cautioned):
“Now this great son of the desert is gone, and all the children of Abraham weep. We will sorely miss this brave brother of ours.”
Rarely in recent memory had the passing of a public figure elicited the hyperbole that began spreading across the land once it became clear that Hussein was hours away from death. Typical of the distortions by a media intent on canonizing the king was the statement by the pompous New York Times foreign-affairs sage Thomas Friedman that Hussein “talked himself out of the 1973 war.”
The idea that Hussein sat on the sidelines in 1973 was parroted in many a news story in the days following the king’s death. While it’s true that he was considerably less enthusiastic about going to war in 1973 than he’d been in 1967, when he lost a large chunk of his kingdom after ignoring Israel’s pleas that he stay out of the fighting, he nevertheless was far from a passive bystander.
As Mitchell G. Bard points out in his indispensable Myths and Facts: A Guide to the Arab-Israeli Conflict, Hussein sent “two of his best units – the 40th and 60th armored brigades – to Syria. This force took positions in the southern sector, defending the main Amman-Damascus route and attacking Israeli positions along the Kuneitra-Sassa road on October 16. Three Jordanian artillery batteries also participated in the assault, carried out by nearly 100 tanks.”
the article continues
"Virtually forgotten in the rush to sanctify Hussein in death was the scorn that had come his way over the years for behavior such as his constant double-dealing in his relations with Israel, the U.S., and his fellow Arabs; his having allowed the desecration of Jewish holy places when Jordan possessed East Jerusalem (gravestones of Jews were used as latrines in army camps, and dozens of synagogues were demolished or turned into stables and chicken coops); his tight-fisted rule over the Palestinians of Judea and Samaria for nearly two decades after 1948; his brutal slaughter of thousands of Palestinians in the infamous “Black September” of 1970; and his support of Saddam Hussein during the 1991 Gulf War – support that included circumventing the U.S.-led blockade of Iraq and permitting Iraq to use Jordanian airspace for Scud missile attacks on Israel.
To be fair, the new, more statesmanlike persona he adopted in the final years of his life was, by all appearances, genuine. And an argument can be made that even before then he was the lesser of evils when compared with other, more tyrannical and bloodthirsty, Arab leaders.
His duplicity, though, was second to none. He cooed sweet nothings, whenever it suited him and for a handsome payoff, into the ears of American officials, and frequently made fetching glances at Israeli leaders, only to withdraw his proffered affections when thugs like Iraq’s Hussein, Egypt’s Nasser, and Syria’s Assad came courting.
So to trumpet someone like King Hussein as a prophet, a giant, or a visionary (three of the more popular terms used by journalists in the wake of his passing) was to drain those words of any real meaning. It was a genuine example of Fake News if ever there was one." Truly Disturbing How the late "King" Hussein said those hateful things, Very Disturbing how in the Past and up to past few years, the so-called "leaders" of Arab nations spoke about the total destruction of Israel and killing all Jews in Israel, Some Arabs even spoke about Killing Jews and "Drinking their blood" Truly Sick Evil & Satanic Demonic Hatred , Pure Evil, Raw Hate
It is Not Jews & Israel that are Evil, Rather it is those who hate Jews & Israel who are the Truly Evil Ones, the Truly Sick Evil Disturbed Ones,

"A Despicable Cartoon in The Times"
The paper of record needs to reflect deeply on how it came to publish anti-Semitic propaganda.
By Bret Stephens
Opinion Columnist
April 28, 2019
the article says
"As prejudices go, anti-Semitism can sometimes be hard to pin down, but on Thursday the opinion pages of The New York Times international edition provided a textbook illustration of it.
Except that The Times wasn’t explaining anti-Semitism. It was purveying it.
It did so in the form of a cartoon, provided to the newspaper by a wire service and published directly above an unrelated column by Tom Friedman, in which a guide dog with a prideful countenance and the face of Benjamin Netanyahu leads a blind, fat Donald Trump wearing dark glasses and a black yarmulke. Lest there be any doubt as to the identity of the dog-man, it wears a collar from which hangs a Star of David.
Here was an image that, in another age, might have been published in the pages of Der Stürmer. The Jew in the form of a dog. The small but wily Jew leading the dumb and trusting American. The hated Trump being Judaized with a skullcap. The nominal servant acting as the true master. The cartoon checked so many anti-Semitic boxes that the only thing missing was a dollar sign.
The image also had an obvious political message: Namely, that in the current administration, the United States follows wherever Israel wants to go. This is false — consider Israel’s horrified reaction to Trump’s announcement last year that he intended to withdraw U.S. forces from Syria — but it’s beside the point. There are legitimate ways to criticize Trump’s approach to Israel, in pictures as well as words. But there was nothing legitimate about this cartoon."
the article continues
"So what was it doing in The Times?
For some Times readers — or, as often, former readers — the answer is clear: The Times has a longstanding Jewish problem, dating back to World War II, when it mostly buried news about the Holocaust, and continuing into the present day in the form of intensely adversarial coverage of Israel. The criticism goes double when it comes to the editorial pages, whose overall approach toward the Jewish state tends to range, with some notable exceptions, from tut-tutting disappointment to thunderous condemnation.
For these readers, the cartoon would have come like the slip of the tongue that reveals the deeper institutional prejudice. What was long suspected is, at last, revealed.

The real story is a bit different, though not in ways that acquit The Times. The cartoon appeared in the print version of the international edition, which has a limited overseas circulation, a much smaller staff, and far less oversight than the regular edition. Incredibly, the cartoon itself was selected and seen by just one midlevel editor right before the paper went to press.
An initial editor’s note acknowledged that the cartoon “included anti-Semitic tropes,” “was offensive,” and that “it was an error of judgment to publish it.” On Sunday, The Times issued an additional statement saying it was “deeply sorry” for the cartoon and that “significant changes” would be made in terms of internal processes and training.
In other words, the paper’s position is that it is guilty of a serious screw-up but not a cardinal sin. Not quite.
The problem with the cartoon isn’t that its publication was a willful act of anti-Semitism. It wasn’t. The problem is that its publication was an astonishing act of ignorance of anti-Semitism — and that, at a publication that is otherwise hyper-alert to nearly every conceivable expression of prejudice, from mansplaining to racial microaggressions to transphobia.
Imagine, for instance, if the dog on a leash in the image hadn’t been the Israeli prime minister but instead a prominent woman such as Nancy Pelosi, a person of color such as John Lewis, or a Muslim such as Ilhan Omar. Would that have gone unnoticed by either the wire service that provides the Times with images or the editor who, even if he were working in haste, selected it?"
the article lastly says
"The question answers itself. And it raises a follow-on: How have even the most blatant expressions of anti-Semitism become almost undetectable to editors who think it’s part of their job to stand up to bigotry?
The reason is the almost torrential criticism of Israel and the mainstreaming of anti-Zionism, including by this paper, which has become so common that people have been desensitized to its inherent bigotry. So long as anti-Semitic arguments or images are framed, however speciously, as commentary about Israel, there will be a tendency to view them as a form of political opinion, not ethnic prejudice. But as I noted in a Sunday Review essay in February, anti-Zionism is all but indistinguishable from anti-Semitism in practice and often in intent, however much progressives try to deny this.
Add to the mix the media’s routine demonization of Netanyahu, and it is easy to see how the cartoon came to be drawn and published: Already depicted as a malevolent Jewish leader, it’s just a short step to depict him as a malevolent Jew.
I’m writing this column conscious of the fact that it is unusually critical of the newspaper in which it appears, and it is a credit to the paper that it is publishing it. I have now been with The Times for two years and I’m certain that the charge that the institution is in any way anti-Semitic is a calumny.
But the publication of the cartoon isn’t just an “error of judgment,” either. The paper owes the Israeli prime minister an apology. It owes itself some serious reflection as to how it came to publish that cartoon — and how its publication came, to many longtime readers, as a shock but not a surprise." good article by Bret Stephens

"Farrakhan the Fraud"
AUG, 2018 BY OUR READERS
To the Editor:
the article says
"James Kirchick correctly portrays Louis Farrakhan as perhaps the most popular and dangerous anti-Semite in America (“The Rise of Black Anti-Semitism,” June). While neo-Nazis and white supremacists drummed up a few hundred people at their “national” rally in Charlottesville, Farrakhan’s recent rant in Chicago excited an adoring crowd more than three times that size.
Unlike what happens at alt-right rallies, no toughs will ever shut down a Farrakhan event. And unlike other anti-Semites, Farrakhan has open sympathizers in positions of power—especially inside the black community and on the left. What Louis Farrakhan says about Jews will only reach more and more people.
It may seem difficult for Jews to press liberal and black activists to renounce the Nation of Islam leader given the widely held belief that, his offensive views aside, Farrakhan is a legitimate leader of an oppressed people who gives voice to black liberation and black pride.
That is why it is important to understand precisely how this is untrue: Farrakhan has covered up and sought to deny the enslavement of Africans by Arabs and Muslims. He has been and continues to be an obstacle to their liberation.
Two decades ago, he was caught lying about black slaves in Sudan and Mauritania. Today, as media and human-rights reports document the further enslavement of blacks by Arabs and Muslims in Libya, Nigeria, and Algeria, Farrakhan’s credibility as a champion of blacks could be even more at risk.
A short recounting of the original episode is instructive. On July 13, 1994, I co-wrote a New York Times op-ed (“Bought and Sold”) with Mohamed Athié, a Mauritanian African Muslim refugee, that brought national attention to the plight of black chattel slaves in North Africa. In Sudan, for decades, as part of a war waged by the Arab north against the black, mostly Christian south, militias armed by Khartoum stormed African villages, killed the men, and captured the women and children. These served their masters as goat-herds, domestics, and sex slaves. In Mauritania, Arab Berbers who had conquered the area centuries before had always kept African slaves—even though these were Muslims."
the article lastly says
"When Athié and I appeared on PBS’s national black news show, Tony Brown’s Journal, the Nation of Islam demanded equal time and sent out its spokesman, Akbar Muhammed, who claimed that reports of slavery were a “big lie” and part of a “Jewish conspiracy” against Farrakhan. He was particularly upset about our mention of black bondage in Libya. Akbar, it turned out, was Farrakhan’s emissary to Libya’s Muammar Gaddafi who, according to Clarence Page of the Chicago Tribune, had loaned Farrakhan $5 million in 1984. Page suggested that this was what kept Farrakhan mute on African slavery. President Clinton later blocked a billion-dollar gift from Gaddafi to Farrakhan to foment a Muslim revolt in America.
On the heels of the Tony Brown debates, there were fireworks in New York’s black press. Eventually, in March of 1996, Farrakhan was asked about the slaves of Sudan. The New York Times reported that an emotional Farrakhan shot back: “Where is the proof? If slavery exists, why don’t you go as a member of the press, and you look inside Sudan, and if you find it, then you come back and tell the American people what you found?”
The Baltimore Sun took up the challenge and dispatched reporters to Sudan, where they redeemed for cash two young African slave boys from an Arab middleman. Their report was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize.
We later learned that leaders of the south Sudanese Peoples’ Struggle for Liberation asked Farrakhan for his help. He promised he would help them but he betrayed them instead.
Today, there could still be as many as 35,000 Africans in bondage to Arab masters in Sudan. Mauritanian blacks continue to serve as slaves to Arab/Berber masters in Mauritania. In addition, the (black) Muslim soldiers of Boko Haram in Nigeria enslave black Christians; Libyans can be seen on CNN video-auctioning off black men; and in Algeria, Africans seeking a passageway to Europe are just now being caught and enslaved.
A much-needed movement to free African slaves is in the making. Minister Farrakhan will soon—again—get a request for his help. Stay tuned."

"Mike Pence to CUFI: I Support Israel Because I Am a Christian"
the article says
"Thousands of Christians descended on the nation’s capital Monday for Christians United for Israel’s 12th annual summit.
Mike Pence addressed the crowd, assuring that not only he, but President Donald Trump are proud supporters of the Jewish state.
“And under President Donald Trump, if the world knows nothing else, the world will know this: America stands with Israel. Now and always,” he said.
The Vice President also revealed where his love for Israel comes from: not from Capitol Hill, but from the very Word of God.
“To look at Israel is to see that the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob keeps his promises,” he said. “Like all of you, my passion for Israel springs from my Christian faith. The songs of the land and the people of Israel were the anthems of my youth. As for me and my house, we pray for the peace of Jerusalem and all who call her home. It’s really the greatest privilege of my life to serve as Vice President to a President who cares so deeply for our most cherished ally.”
It was also very clear the alliance between Israel and America’s leaders was not just founded on faith, but common values like freedom and democracy.
“President Trump has made it clear: America stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Israel, as together we confront those enemies who threaten our people, our freedom, and our very way of life,” he said."

"THE NEXT ARAB-ISRAELI WAR AS PLANNED BY THE ARABS: THIS IS THE WORLD WAR III PLANNED TO PRODUCE ANTICHRIST!" PART 1 OF 2
the article says
"The Planned World War III, between the Jewish state and her immediate Arab neighbors, as envisioned by Albert Pike's demonic vision of 1870, is detailed in this shocking report to the Congress. This most shocking intelligence report reveals the likely scenario of this war. Remember, the Plan is for Antichrist to come walking through the smoke, dust, and destruction of this war!!
The New World Order is coming! Are you ready? Once you understand what this New World Order really is, and how it is being gradually implemented, you will be able to see it progressing in your daily news!!
NEWS BRIEF: "The Next Arab-Israeli War", by Emanuel A. Winston, A Middle East Analyst and Commentator, The Jewish Press, Week of January 31, 1997, Vol. XLVII, No. 5, p. 43 and 53.
"In mid-January, a terrifying, although not surprising, report was revealed to the public. Dated December 10, 1996, compiled and researched by The U.S. House of Representatives' Task Force On Terrorism And Unconventional Warfare, it is entitled, 'Approaching the New Cycle of Arab-Israeli Fighting' ... In brief, this report tells us that such nations as Syria, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, and Egypt are planning and building for a final, devastating war of annihilation against Israel. This includes acquiring nuclear, biological and chemical weapons (NBC) in a mix with conventional weapons, e.g., tanks, aircraft, and soldiers, all in massive, overwhelming numbers." [P. 43]
Let us pause here to digest what we have just learned. Our own Congressional intelligence reports now know that Israel is being threatened with a massive and coordinated attack by this consortium of Arab nations. This means that Bill Clinton, the President of the United States, must know these plans. Yet, he has been very seriously engaged in applying severe pressure against Israel, to force her into concessions to the Palestinian leader, Yassir Arafat, concessions which any military man will tell you will place Israel's national survival in tremendous jeopardy.
This situation means that the President has, in effect, joined forces with those Arabs who are planning to annihilate Israel. Finally, after fighting 6 major wars against Israel with the express purpose of annihilating her, the Arabs have just received their greatest ally, the United States of America! After you read this article, you will understand this previous sentence. Our Government may now have joined with Arab forces in a campaign to annihilate Israel. "
the article continues
"We have written much about this coming war between Israel and her Arab neighbors. In NEWS1015, "Albert Pike's Occult Vision As To How to Achieve New World Order", we showed you how Pike's demonic 'Guiding Spirit' had revealed to him the only way in which the planned New World Order could be implemented. We urge you to stop and read this article as it gives you much needed insight to be able to understand the drama that is unfolding before us. Remember, this occultic vision occurred in 1870, and has been followed closely as THE PLAN ever since.
These articles, taken together, give you a pretty good basis for understanding what is happening in Israel now, and what is inevitably coming. But, now let us turn to Pike's Occult Vision as to how the world could be moved into the planned New World Order. Albert Pike was the leader of the North American Freemasonry movement, and de facto the global leader of the drive to achieve the New World Order. Full biographical details are in NEWS1015. We now want to give you enough of an understanding of Pike's vision that you will be able to better fathom the article, at which we began to look, above.
Albert Pike received a demonic vision, described below. On January 22, 1870, Pike and one of his international co-conspirators, Guiseppe Mazzini, published the Plan which would establish the New World Order. This Plan was kept very secret, only within Freemasonry circles since the time of its inception, known only to fellow occult Illuminist conspirators. (This information is taken from a book from a former Luciferian Illuminist, Doc Marquis. His book is "Secrets of the Illuminati" and reveals much formerly hidden detail known only to Illuminists).
The secret Pike plan to control the world foresaw the need for three world wars. Stop here for a moment to remember the date of this prediction: January 22, 1870. This date is 44 years before the beginning of World War I. Once you understand the facts we are about to share with you and realize the length of time between this prediction and the beginning of its fulfillment, you can understand how supernatural forces were truly in command. Further, January 22, 1870, is occulticly significant also. The number 22 is one of the three important occultic primary numbers (11, 22, and 33).
The Pike Plan to overthrow the Judeo-Christian Old World Order, and establish the Satanic New World Order foresaw the need for war. However, this war was not the type of warfare the world had seen historically. This war was to be on a much larger scale than history had ever recorded. This war was to be global, or world-wide.
The details of this Pike Plan for three (3) World Wars to establish the New World Order is as follows: (As you are reading this demonic prophecy, remember the occult concept of Thesis battling Antithesis to produce the new system, Synthesis, as covered in NEWS1007, https://www.cuttingedge.org/news/n1007.html . World Wars I & II were fought to establish Antithesis, to set up the Cold War, that "controlled conflict or threat of conflict" that would produce the new system, Synthesis, the New World Order)"
"and continues
"I. The First World War was designed to enable the Czarist Government in Russia to be finally and completely overthrown. The new Russian government was foreseen to be atheistic and militaristic. Further, Pike specified that this new Russian Government was to be Communistic. Karl Marx had published his Communist Manifesto in 1848, exactly 22 years before this occultic prophecy through Albert Pike. Isn't it interesting that the occultic number 22 keeps popping up?
History records that this First World War did, indeed, occur just as listed, above. The Western powers in Europe, in conjunction with the United States, financed Lenin's expedition into Russia, they financed his government consistently, and we have financed Russian Communism at least once per decade since then, just to keep it afloat.
II. The Second World War was foreseen to originate between Great Britain and Germany. However, one of the planned results of this war was to strengthen the new Communist Russian government, so that it could weaken and destroy other governments and religions.
History again records that the Second World War did, indeed, accomplish this objective. The war started when Germany invaded Poland, causing Great Britain to declare war on Germany. Very soon, the troika (3's) of powers were set up to wage this war. The Black Magick occultists allied themselves when Germany linked with Italy and Japan; the White Magic occultists allied themselves together as Great Britain linked with the United States and Russia. Do not be deceived. This war was fought between two (2) New World Order forces, the "evil" alliance of the Axis Powers and the "good" alliance of the Allied Powers; the war was between the Black Magick forces against the White Magic forces.
Certainly, the Pike vision of the Second World War building Russian Communism into a super power was fulfilled to a startling degree. Historians have always been mystified as to how Churchill and Roosevelt could have given away all of Eastern Europe to the Soviets, when the preponderance of power was clearly against the Soviets. Clearly, when Roosevelt and Churchill ceded all of Eastern Europe to Russia, the Communist Government of Russia, now known as the U.S.S.R. {Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) completed its transition to a super power, exactly as Pike's vision had foretold. And, let us not forget that the Second World War had given Russia capabilities it had not possessed before the War. Not only did we build up the Russian military to a frightful degree, but we had also built entire factories East of Moscow that gave Russia an instant manufacturing base. Even though Russia had paid dearly in human lives during the War, they came out of the conflict a superpower. Thanks to Roosevelt, Russia now had a kingdom to go along with its new military and industrial base.
Now, you know that Freemason President Roosevelt gave this territory to Russia simply and only because he was being true to Pike's vision of 1870!! You will never read this true history in any of your books!!"
and continues
"III. The Third World War was foreseen to be between Judaism and Islam. This prophecy is incredible in many ways, beginning with the understanding that this prophecy of a third world war occurred in 1870, a time when Israel did not exist as a nation, and when no one except Fundamentalist, Bible-believing Christians believed it would ever exist again.
Watch the events in Israel very carefully, because the final chapter is being written there. The demonic 'guiding spirits' of Freemasonry, of the leaders of the New World Order Plan, are planning a final, definitive Third World War, which will begin between Israel and her Arab neighbors and spread to the entire world. Literally, out of the smoke and destruction of this Third World War, Antichrist will come striding!
Now, we can return to our current article, with the basis of understanding needed to comprehend the situation for what it truly is, i.e., the final stage being prepared for the planned World War III.
"Pakistan will have fulfilled its role as incubator for the Islamic Nuclear Bomb. It is expected that Syria will be the planned spark that ignites the war by bringing its troops close to Israel's borders on the Golan and Lebanon, provoking Israel into a no-choice preemptive strike. This will provide the justification for the other war pact members to join Syria while giving the West an excuse to not protest the Arab armies' assault."
"and continues
"While this scenario might be exactly what happens, we believe the real spark for the beginning of this war might be when the heavily armed 40,000-man Palestinian police forces begin a concentrated attack on Israel from deep within Israel. When the Israeli Army is pulled away from the border to within Israel to put down the murderous Palestinian attacks, Syria and Egypt will attack the borders.
In NEWS1026, "Pray For Israel! War Is Near", we show you the Biblical judgment God levied on Damascus, capital of Syria. In Isaiah 17:1, God pronounces judgment upon the capitol of Syria, Damascus, "The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap." This prophecy has never been fulfilled. In fact, Damascus is known among historians as being the longest continuously occupied city in world history. There has never been a time when Damascus has not existed. Yet, here we have this Godly judgment against this city, a physical destruction so great that it stops being a city, becoming a heap of ruins.
This planned war seems to set the stage whereby this prophecy could be fulfilled. Israel is sick and tired of being attacked by overwhelming military forces, of miraculously beating these forces, and then to realize that their 'peace' simply gives the Arabs time and space to attack again. Believe me, they plan to annihilate their implacable Arab foes. And, God's judgments against the Arabs in the Last Days, as we have gone to great lengths in the above many articles to share with you, parallel this Israeli attitude. If any of you feel like condemning Israel for this attitude, let me ask you what attitude you would have if someone continually attacked your house, trying to kill you and your family. Each time you successfully repelled his attacks, but he keeps coming back again and again, each time wielding more sophisticated weaponry. At some time, you would simply decide to kill him so he could never threaten you again. This is Israel's current attitude. Let the historical record show that Israel never started any of the wars since 1948, when they founded their nation. The Arabs have been the aggressor each time, and Israel the victim. The Arabs then have turned to the bargaining table to try to regain by diplomacy what they failed to lost on the battlefield."
and continues
"Now, let us return to this most informative article:
"At this time, each of the aggressor nations is aggressively building additional military stocks which are both conventional and non-conventional. Depth in military reserves allows a coalition of Arab forces to cause Israel to wear down and use up its reserves of men and material. Recall how, in 1973, when Israel was desperately short of munitions. President Nixon and Secretary Kissinger withheld re-supply until the very last moment in order to force Israel's compliance with Arab demands."
Arab leadership is painfully aware of the vast gulf which exists between Arab manpower and Israeli manpower. We have the spectacle here of over 270 million Arabs trying to annihilate only 4.5 million Jews! Why can't the Arabs pick on someone their own size, I can hear the fifth grader shout from the playground! Yet, these vastly outnumbered Jews keep kicking the Arab armies all over the battlefield, inflicting terrible casualties and winning all these wars. The Arabs have to be hanging their heads in shame over this!! Psssst, let me whisper a little 'secret' here. God is protecting His Israel in the same manner in which He protected her in the Old Testament. The Arabs are fighting God!! Read again these previous articles listed, above, where we list all the applicable Biblical prophecies to Israel, both then and in the End Times. God absolutely guarantees military victory for Israel over all her enemies in the End Times, after He has returned Israel to her land!!
I personally find it repugnant to discover that my former President, Nixon, was really a closet Arab supporter even though he was publicly professing his steady support for Israel. How many Israeli soldiers died while Nixon and Kissinger were playing hardball with Israel? And, now, if this article is correct, our current President is planning to also aid the Arabs by not actively coming to Israel's aid! We are very close to the time of the End where God said that, finally, events were going to look so bad for Israel that Michael, Israel's Guardian Angel, was going to have to actively come to her aid (Daniel 12:1); let us quickly review this text, as this is God's ironclad promise to Israel. "And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book." Read this verse carefully, for you will see, in a few moments, as we detail the rest of this article, how this unparalleled trouble might be just around the proverbial for Israel.
Now, back to the article:
"The House of Representatives' Task Force report describes in detail how 'the supreme leaders, civilians, and military, of most Arab states, as well as Iraq and Pakistan, are convinced that the present vulnerability of Israel is so great that there is a unique opportunity to begin the process leading to the destruction of Israel. They believe that the Muslim world should not miss this historic window of opportunity. Therefore, these Muslim leaders have finalized numerous strategies and tactical alliances heretofore non-existent in the region."
"and continues
"Refer to our NEWS1026 , where we detailed the Israeli belief about this coming war. Obviously, if our House of Representatives know about these war plans, you know the Israeli intelligence services know even more about it.
At this point, we need to turn to the actual House of Representative's intelligence report upon which this article in the Jewish Press is based,because it gives great detail missing from the Jewish Press article.
"Starting in mid August [1996], the Syrain Armed Forces have conducted a series of redeployments and maneuvers that have direct implications for their ability to lauch an attack on Israel ... The initial Syrian force movements in Lebanon, and near the Golan, especially near Mt. Hermon, already changed the strategic posture in the region ... IN the first phase, in late August [1996], mechanized units deployed from Bhamdun and Dahr al-Baydar in central Lebanon to forward positions very close to the Israeli-held security zone ... In the second phase, completed in mid September [1996], units of the 10th Mechanized Division deployed ... along the Beirut-Damascus Highway all the way to the Biqaa ... The third regiment of the 14th Special Forces/Commando Division deployed from Beirut to forward positions in south-eastern Lebanon, overlooking the Israeli Mt. Hermon from the west. The deployment of the 14th Special Forces/Commando Division enables it to strike Israel's key early warning station on a moment notice, thus harming, if not paralyzing Israel's ability to detect a major surprise attack."
"In late October [1996], Syrian officials briefed their Lebanese counterparts that the Syrian Armed Forces were properly deployed and ready for a preemptive strike against Israel ... As of mid October [1996], Iraqi military units, including armor artillery, and missile units, began moving from central Iraq toward the Syrian border. Iraq began a call up of reservists and the activation of units in western Iraq that had been dormant since the Gulf War."
"By late to mid October [1996] ... the latest Syrian 'exercises' with SSMs and major armored forces ... amount to 'crawling' toward the forward positions, enabling Syria to launch a surprise surge into the Golan as well as escalation in southern Lebanon aimed to achieve initial grabs."
"Meanwhile, throughout the fall of 1996, Iran delivered, via Syria, a whole range of vastly improved weapons to the HizbAllah and other terrorist forces based on the border with Israel. Among these weapon systems are: 1) The truck mounted Fajr-3 240mm rockets, which, with a range of 26-27 miles, can hit major Israeli objectives from beyond the security zone. 2) The highly lethal FAGOT ATGMs -- Soviet design 3) 35mm Oerlikon automatic guns -- a Swiss weapon good against both helicopters and surface objectives."
"The Iranians also delivered large quantities of weapons already in the HizbAllah arsenals, including GRAD-M 122mm rockets, Isphahan rockets, Stingers SFSAMs, SAGGER ATGMs, night vision equipment, explosives and ammunition .. The Iranian airlift of weapons and equipment for the HizbAllah and terrorist organizations intensified markedly in the first week of December [1996]."
This information, from our own House of Representatives' intelligence resources, give an air of immediacy that is simply not equalled from any other source. These Arabs are seriously under the illusion they can defeat Israel. Tiny Israel will be so hard pressed to defend herself, God will have to come to her aid, in ways we discuss in a few moments. These deployments, carried out in 1996-7, are still in place, awaiting only the right set of circumstances.
Now, let us return to the article in the Jewish Press:"
and continues
""The plan of attack includes, again, embargoing oil to the West to persuade the U.S. not to attempt re-supply in time, nor to assist in any way." So, our Government, who knows this is about to happen, is not moving American military forces in place to dissuade the Arabs from carrying out this embargo threat!! It sounds very much like they are on the side of the Arabs. Furthermore, it looks like you and I, average Americans all, are going to have to put up with skyrocketing oil and gas prices again, maybe like 1972-1973, simply because our government is silently, passively cooperating with the Arab plan. But, that isn't really right, is it? We have shown that America always has been THE leader in this New World Order Plan to stage Antichrist; therefore, this part of the Plan calls for America to stand passively by. "
and continues
"Remember this: the New World Order Plan calls for the annihilation of both Jew and Arab, because they believe in the existence of One God too strongly to ever accept the claims of 'The Christ'. Wouldn't it be 'smart' to create a plan whereby they would kill each other off? However, this New World Order Plan envisions the victory of Israel , which is why Antichrist will appear outside Jerusalem, will go to great lengths to persuade Israel that he is their Messiah, and will rebuild their temple. Remember Peter Lemesurier's book, 'The Armageddon Script', which specifies that the war leading up to the appearance of 'The Christ' will result in the destruction of the Arab Dome of the Rock!
Now, back to our article:
"The Europeans, who have been equipping Iraq, Iran, and Syria with unconventional technology and weapons, will not be difficult to persuade. They already know the war is coming and wish to protect their future Arab markets for arms, etc. They can be counted upon to close their airfields and ports to American re-supply for Israel. However, they can be relied upon to continue shipping munitions to Arab nations." Obviously, these European leaders have never heard God's End Time promise to Israel regarding the weaponry that will be arrayed against her. "No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper;" [Isaiah 54:17] NO Weapon formed against Israel will be able to defeat her. All Arab, American, and European leaders planning otherwise are going to be mightily surprised!!
Now, this article gets terribly interesting:
"Within Israel and on its borders, Arafat's 'Palestinians' will cause planned havoc. Recall how Arafat's 'Palestinians' living in Kuwait, acting on orders as a fifth column, collaborated with Saddam Hussein's army to capture Kuwait. Recall how the Palestinian Arabs joined in the pillage and rape, side by side with Iraqis soldiers ... In this coming war, Arafat's Palestinian Arab Police, in coordination with Hamas, will begin blowing up key targets, road junctions, preventing mobilization of Israel's civilian reserve soldiers from reaching their units at the front. In Judea and Samaria, roads will be mined and Israeli access blocked by shoulder-fired anti-tank missiles now smuggled in under the benign neglect of the government of Israel."
and continues
"Now, why would the Jewish government of Israel simply close its eyes to the smuggling of these devastating weapons? Peres is considered to be a Liberal and Netanyhu a Conservative, so you have governments of both ends of the political spectrum allowing these weapons to be smuggled in to the Palestinian Arabs! Why?! It almost sounds like they WANT the Palestinian Arabs to go to war, does it not? I have always wondered how former Prime Minister [and Army General] Rabin could have possibly supported this insane policy of giving the Arabs a state within her borders. After all, Rabin was a distinguished general, and understood the untenable military situation into which he was placing Israel. He understood that the Arabs were attempting to seize military advantage from the diplomatic table. He understood that the Arabs viewed the 'peace talks' as simply a type of warfare. Since all this is true, why was that the old decorated general, Rabin, so willing to agree to the establishment of an Arab state within tiny Israel, a situation akin to someone holding a knife one inch from a person's heart?
There are only several options: 1) PM Rabin has turned traitor, which I do not believe; or 2) Rabin has lost his mind, which I also do not believe. Besides, if he was pursuing these policies because he had lost his mind, then we have to consider that all the legislators who have supported him have also lost their minds. And the same can be said for the 'traitor' option. I do not believe, for one second, that these legislators and military men who have supported Rabin do not love Israel. Then, what is going on? Why would these highly intelligent, military minded men support such a ludicrous plan? The only solution I can see is: 3) Israel has a hidden plan, a plan to bait the Arabs into an attack, so that Israel would be justified in annihilating her implacable enemies. As I have stated earlier, Israel is tired of winning every war thrown against her, and then never be able to realize peace and security as a result. All their victories have achieved is to set the stage for the next war. I do not know how this war will play out, but based upon God's promises to Israel in these Last Days, and upon Israel's past record, I am certain that this will be the final war between Israel and her Arab neighbors, because Israel will completely destroy the entire countries. We will just have to wait, watch, and pray for Israel's safety."
"and continues
"Now, let us return to this article:
"This low level conflict is intended to tactically hinder Israel's heavy battle armor and artillery from reaching the Jordan Valley, where a coalition of Arab armies will advance under their mobile missile umbrella. The Palestinian Arabs already have shoulder fired ground-to-air missiles, some of which are U.S. Stingers smuggled from Afghanistan through Iran to Arafat's mix of armed police and terrorist groups. These deadly missiles will cause heavy losses to Israeli aircraft trying to slow the advance of Arab troops across the Jordan Valley. The entire West Bank under Arab control will act as a barrier to delay mobilization of Israeli forces, allowing Arab forces to spread out and move west toward Jerusalem."
"Toward Jerusalem" has been the cry of both Arab and Jew for the past Millennia. But, why should we be surprised, because God very clearly foretold that Jerusalem would be the center of attention of the entire world in the Last Days.
With this as our background, let us continue with this most remarkable article:
"During these internal assaults, Syria, Iraq, and Iran will launch a mix of missiles at Israel's cities and military targets. Egypt has been accumulating Scud missiles from North Korea, and is likely to join the salvo. [Note: To get a full Biblical accounting of the prophecies concerning the destruction of these nations, go to NEWS1026]. Israeli civilians make up most of the standby reserve military, and, therefore, hitting the cities can be equally effective as hitting a prepared, hardened military target. Airfields will be targeted by missiles with sub-munitions (small bomblets) which destroy runways, to keep Israeli aircraft from taking off or landing. Missiles may be loaded with gas and chemicals so the runways could not be quickly repaired, and killing troops and civilians."
To the American writers of the Jewish Press, this situation will look dreadfully bleak, maybe hopeless. Their precious Israel, the deep hope of Jews for almost two Millennia, just may be destroyed by this battle plan. And, the thought that this scenario would not have been possible were it not for the support of Jewish 'patriots' Peres, Rabin, and now Netanyhu, is almost more than they can stand. These writers also cannot stand the idea that the United States is equally culpable in this battle plan, conspiring with the Arabs to annihilate Israel. Can't you just see the act of President Clinton, the morning after the Jews have been annihilated? Tears would stream down his face, as he moaned and groaned over the loss of the Jewish nation, and all its inhabitants. Clinton would agonize with the victims, assuring American Jews that "he felt their pain". But, nothing could bring Israel back, of course, and the New World Order Planners would have just eliminated one of their foes, the organized nation of Israel."
and continues
"But, of course, that will not happen, will it? It will not happen for two basic reasons: 1) God's prophecy states that Israel will never again be destroyed after she has been returned back to her land 2) The New World Order Plan is entirely built around their goal of the Antichrist convincing the Jews that he is their Messiah! Their Plan calls for the destruction of the Arab Dome of the Rock, and the destruction of many, many Arabs, starting with the Palestinians. And, all of this, of course, fulfills Biblical prophecy.
Therefore, all this arming of the Arabs by Russia and by Europe, is simply a gigantic trap for the Arabs. I sincerely believe that Israel's governments, starting with General Rabin, have set a most clever trap, to make the Arabs think that they have a small "window of opportunity" to attack a weakened and outmaneuvered Israel. And, I believe that the first stages of their attack will look very bad for Israel. The Arabs will achieve early victory.
This situation, therefore, will look so bleak that, when Israel is delivered, everyone will understand that God's Divine Protection was at work. Doubtless, those who are familiar with God's promises to Israel originally, will think of the promise, "And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword." [Leviticus 26:8]
But, the New World Orders planners will also be very happy that Israel won this war, and annihilated so many Arabs -- those dastardly, fierce people, that have the audacity to strongly believe in One God! With the Arabs out of the way, global Freemasons can get started building their coveted Solomon's Temple on the Temple Mount!
To reiterate, God has given Israel some concrete, unbreakable promises to Israel in the Latter Days. Let us finish with a review of some of these promises, written almost 2,500 years ago, with their fulfillment in the End of the Age."
"and continues
"* "Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom [Today, a Palestinian Arab province of Jordan] shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land. But Judah shall dwell for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation. For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: for the LORD dwelleth in Zion." [Joel 3:19-21] Notice that Egypt and Edom will be judged in this Last Days of time because of "... the violence against the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land." As I read of this verse, I am reminded of the many terrorist bombings which the Arabs, including the Palestinians, have carried out against Israel. On this day, God shall bring these cumulative sins to account. And, Egypt, who has waged several modern wars against Israel, will be judged and destroyed on this day.
* "And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel ... And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God." [Amos 9:14-15] God promised Last Days Israel that, after He had accomplished the miracle of returning the Jews back to their land, He would ensure that they were never again "be pulled up out of their land"!!
* In Zechariah 12:3-9, God thunders down from His throne in Heaven this promise: [Selected emphasis is mine]
"And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it. In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness." Did you understand this statement? The reason that no Arab army, or a collection of Arab armies, can ever defeat Israel is that, at the moment of battle, God will intervene to cause many of the Arab soldiers, and most probably the officer corps, to go mad, to not think clearly, to be confused. We have already had many reports of this mental confusion in the past wars since 1948, and this war will be no exception!
* "In that day will I make the governors of Judah like a hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem. The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first .... In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them."
and continues
"Wow!! God cannot be more clear!
"And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem."
What all the Arabs simply do not understand is that they are fighting God Almighty, the One God of the universe, the Holy One of Israel. Their armies will be struck down with blindness and mental madness, whereas God will so greatly embolden the Jewish soldiers that can make it to the battlefield that they will fight more fiercely than anyone can imagine. The "feeble" Jewish soldier will fight like he was King David of old, and Jewish members of the House of David will fight like they are Divine, like they were Omnipotent God Himself!!
The slaughter of the Arabs will be both unanticipated and unprecedented. How bad will this slaughter be? We quote Obadiah 18, as we did in NEWS1026, "And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the LORD hath spoken it." Another translation states the extent of the destruction this way, "... there shall be no survivor of the House of Esau, for the Lord has spoken it".
The House of Esau is the Palestinian Arabs, some of which are trying to make a nation state within Israel -- being led by Arafat. But, even more Palestinian Arabs live just across the Jordan River, in modern Jordan, in Moab and Edom. Their destruction is also evidently called for here, too."
the article lastly says
"God has not only made these promises of protection to Israel and promises of physical destruction to the Arabs, He has made the precise carrying out of these prophecies a matter of honor to His Mighty Name. This honor is so serious in God's eyes, that, IF the Arabs succeed in destroying Israel, you can destroy your Bibles and look for another religion in which to believe!! God will have been proven to be a liar, and worse, impotent!
In this time, we must pray for Israel and for her protection. She has been the victim of a racial hatred as strong as any in world history. The Arabs, who have hated her for so long, are going to try this one last time to destroy her, but this time God is going to eradicate the Arabs.
In NEWS1057, we shall continue to examine this most interesting article in the Jewish Press, plus we shall examine the full report from which this article was taken, the U.S. House of Representative's report entitled "Task Force On Terrorism & Unconventional Warfare: Approaching The New Cycle Of Arab-Israeli Fighting". In this article, we examined this planned, imminent war from Israel's perspective; in NEWS1057, we shall examine this war from three perspectives: 1) The perspective of the Arabs;
2) The Nuclear Factor in this war, drawing entirely from our House of Representatives' report; 3) The Industrialized world. Tune in, and you will be greatly shocked!
The time is truly growing short. Are you spiritually ready? Is your family? Are you adequately protecting your loved ones? This is the reason for this ministry, to enable you to first understand the peril facing you, and then help you develop strategies to warn and protect your loved ones. Once you have been thoroughly trained, you can also use your knowledge as a means to open the door of discussion with an unsaved person. I have been able to use it many times, and have seen people come to Jesus Christ as a result. These perilous times are also a time when we can reach many souls for Jesus Christ, making an eternal difference.
If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, but have been very lukewarm in your spiritual walk with Him, you need to immediately ask Him for forgiveness and for renewal. He will instantly forgive you, and fill your heart with the joy of the Holy Spirit. Then, you need to begin a daily walk of prayer and personal Bible Study.
If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as Savior, but have come to realize His reality and the approaching End of the Age, and want to accept His FREE Gift of Eternal Life, you can also do so now, in the privacy of your home. Once you accept Him as Savior, you are spiritually Born Again, and are as assured of Heaven as if you were already there. Then, you can rest assured that the Kingdom of Antichrist will not touch you spiritually. If you would like to become Born Again, turn to our Salvation Page now.
We hope you have been blessed by this ministry, which seeks to educate and warn people, so that they can see the coming New World Order -- Kingdom of Antichrist -- in their daily news." That was the End of Part 1 of the Article, now on to Part 2
Of course I personally do NOT want there to be any more Wars in the Mideast or Anywhere in the World, but Part 2 of the article from the website
www.cuttingedge.org is titled
"THE NEXT ARAB-ISRAELI WAR - PART 2 OF 2 THE LIKELY NUCLEAR SCENARIO IN THIS PLANNED WAR"
the article saysa
"Once the combined Arab armies have finished annihilating Israel, their plan calls for the annihilation of all Palestinian Arabs!! There is no honor among thieves, or Arabs. Also, part of the plan to destroy Israel is to create another Oil Crisis like 1972-1973, and to possibly attack our cities with unprecedented terrorism.
The New World Order is coming! Are you ready? Once you understand what this New World Order really is, and how it is being gradually implemented, you will be able to see it progressing in your daily news!!
NEWS BRIEF: "1997: The Next Arab-Israeli War", by Emanuel A. Winston, A Middle East Analyst and Commentator, The Jewish Press, Week of January 31, 1997, Vol. XLVII, No. 5, p. 43 and 53.
In NEWS1056 , we covered the basic plan to initiate another war with Israel, war number 6 according to our calculations, to completely annihilate the Jewish state. Arab leaders from Syria, Iraq, Iran, and Egypt have concluded that Israel is uniquely open to attack right now, and will remain so vulnerable for a short time. We encourage you to read this article, for it is shocking to see how vulnerable Israel appears to be, and to realize that the major reason they are so vulnerable is because of the newly created Palestinian State, led by Yassir Arafat. "
""the article continues
"Our source for this information was the article, above, in the Jewish Press, but their information was gleaned from American intelligence!! Dated December 10, 1996, compiled and researched by The U.S. House of Representatives' Task Force On Terrorism And Unconventional Warfare, this intelligence report is entitled, 'Approaching the New Cycle of Arab-Israeli Fighting'.
The plan calls for the war to begin with an uprising from Arafat's Palestinians, led by their heavily armed paramilitary police. These police will be fighting with heavy machine guns, with shoulder fired anti-tank missiles and shoulder fired ground to air anti-aircraft missiles. They will implant bombs at key roads and intersections, and they will attempt to prevent Israeli reserve civilian-soldiers from reaching their bases or their battle stations."
and continues
"The Palestinians are also going to try to create such a fierce battle that Israeli armor and other heavy equipment will be drawn into the center of the country, and away from the border. At this point, Syria and Egypt will launch their Scud 3 missiles into Israel, possibly carrying a variety of conventional and unconventional weapons. Unconventional weapons are either nuclear, biological, or chemical. Therefore, Israel will face the most serious, and deadly, attack in her brief modern history. Since the Arabs have been equipped this time with Western (European) weapons, and Western tactics, and since they will again possess overwhelming manpower, they truly believe they can destroy -- annihilate -- Israel.
We now turn to the actual House of Representative document on which this article in the Jewish Press is based. We do this because the actual text provides greater detail not brought out by the Jewish Press article, information which is crucial to our understanding how very serious and well planned this war truly is. We will be zeroing in first on the question of the participation of the Palestinian Arabs in this war. Listen to our own intelligence briefing: "In late September [1996], the Palestinian factor was added to the joint preparations when the Palestinian Authorities (PA) entered into a major military agreement with Syria. Significantly, this agreement is between the PA -- not the PLO -- and Syria, thus explicitly committing the Palestinian forces in the territories. The essence of the agreement is for the Palestinian 'police' forces and other armed elements (terrorist organizations) to 'flare-up' the Israeli interior ... Syrian and PLO intelligence established a liaison section made up of senior Syrian and Palestinian intelligence officers with HQ's in Beirut, Damascus, and Gaza. In return, Syria will provide weapons and advanced training to PLO units in the refugees camps in southern Lebanon -- units disarmed as part of the Israeli-Lebanese agreements." {NOTE: Do you see how flagrantly the Arabs disregard any "agreement" they make with Israel? Here, they agreed to disarm PLO forces in Lebanon, only now to accept re-armament by Syria.]
"Meanwhile, the PLO's preparations for an imminent war are evident. In Gaza, Arafat ordered the marked acceleration of the building of a personal command bunker, four stories deep. Moreover, the PLO is rapidly building all over Gaza a chain of command centers, ammunition, and weapons-storage areas -- all of them underground and well fortified to even withstand Israeli bombing and shelling. The PA's security services are also accumulating large stockpiles of anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons, including missiles, even though they are forbidden by the Oslo Accords."
Let us stop here for just a moment to ask why we ever put any stock into anything the Arabs "promise" during negotiations for an "agreement". These Arabs view an agreement the same way Communists have always viewed an agreement. The other side is expected to follow the agreement to the letter, while the Arabs never intend to follow their agreements. Rather, they simply use the time and space, without conflict, to prepare to strike the next blow. They lie, cheat, and flagrantly thumb their noses at their partners in the agreement, hoping soon to strike the fatal blow."
and continues
"If the battle plan goes as envisioned, the victorious Arab armies will owe a great debt of gratitude to the Palestinian Arabs. The Palestinians will have fulfilled their mission well, in drawing Israeli resources away from the border, in preventing reserve soldiers from reaching their battle stations, and in causing enormous initial casualties among Israeli soldiers and civilians.
Since this will be true, if the Arab battle plan successfully destroys Israel, then we might be a little surprised to discover that the Arabs do not plan on honoring the Palestinian Arabs, nor even thanking them; rather, we discover that they plan on turning on their Palestinian brethren, to annihilate them!! Let us return now to the article from the Jewish Press.
"The Arab war plan does, indeed, call for the annihilation of the Jewish State, but there is another target. The Palestinian Arabs have been a hated thorn to most of the Arab world. While the Arab dictators used the Palestinian Arabs as a terrorist front to recover Arab pride for past battlefield defeats, they never allowed them to settle as citizens in their nations. They know that once these clever, hostile people have an operating state, they can and will cause havoc in the Arab world. They will constantly demand money, using the 'or else' blackmail, as in the past. Therefore, during this coming war, the two targets are both the Jews and the Palestinian Arabs."
How do you like that?! This part of their plan is very revealing to us, because it shows us precisely what kind of people these Arabs truly are. They are not driven by any kind of noble principle. They hate the Jews because of racial hatred that goes back 4,000 years, and they hate each other only slightly less than they hate the Jews. Well did God describe them originally, about 4,000 years ago, at the beginning of their nation.
In Genesis 16:9-12, we see that the Arab peoples originated from a sexual union between Abraham and his maid, Hagar. This sinful conception produced a male which Hagar was told to name Ishmael, by an 'Angel of the Lord' appearing to her. Ishmael means "God hears." Many Arabs claim him as their forefather and thus Palestine as their land (cf. 17:20 and 25:12-18). [Ryrenias Study Bible, Genesis 16:11]
This angel then described the personal characteristics of Ishmael and the Arab nation that would follow him. God described the Arabs perfectly all through the ages, when He described Ishmael, " And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren."
Doesn't this describe the Arabs perfectly, both today and throughout history? Arabs truly are wild men, and their actions seem totally unreasonable to Westerners. When they are not hating Jews or the West, they turn their venom on each other!
Now, let us return to this article to see how the Palestinian Arabs might be slaughtered by their Arab brethren,once the hated Jewish state has been annihilated. Remember, the Palestinian paramilitary forces will have been expected to have suffered heavy losses fighting against the Israeli forces, losses that will probably total near annihilation. Therefore, the only 'target' left to kill off are the Palestinian people, i.e., old men, women, children, babies.
We are quoting again from the Jewish Press, page 53. "As Saddam gassed the Kurds and the Iranians, so too the Palestinian Arabs will killed off by their brethren, both east and west of the Jordan River. Arafat may already know something of this. In Gaza, he is building bunkers encased in concrete that are four stories deep in rock."
and continues
"Thus, we have the possibility that the true annihilation of the Palestinian Arabs, as foretold in several places in Scripture [see NEWS1026] might actually come from the other Arab states of Syria, Iraq, and Iran, instead of from Israel!! But, no matter how it may occur, the complete annihilation of the Palestinian Arabs -- the Biblical 'House of Esau' -- will occur, because the Lord God of the Bible has pronounced judgment. [See NEWS1056 for a more complete study of these applicable verses].
However, this passage in Obadiah seems to indicate that the destruction of the 'House of Esau , the Palestinians, will come at the hand of Israel, not other Arabs. " And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the LORD hath spoken it." When you put the House of Jacob together with the House of Joseph, you have the complete, modern nation of Israel; therefore, God seems to be saying here that a flame shall build up in the nation of Israel, and shall suddenly explode outward, completely annihilating the 'House of Esau , the Palestinians."

"Now, the House of Representatives' intelligence report addresses the "Nuclear Factor" in this war. As I read this report, I am fully convinced that God WILL have to actively interject His power on behalf of Israel, because the situation does, indeed, look very, very grim. Tiny Israel has her neck on the edge of the guillotine. Until I had read this intelligence report, I thought that only Israel had nuclear weapons. Now, I understand that the Arabs have it, also.Let us review the details of the American intelligence report.
"The nuclear factor has become a crucial element in the Middle East. Iran has nuclear weapons, and so does Pakistan. The supreme leaders in Tehran are convinced that the numerous warheads purchased from the former Soviet Central Asia are operational ... Moreover, there are indications of a Pakistani agreement, with Chinese consent, to 'contribute' to the Muslim nuclear deterrence. And there is no doubt that Pakistan has operational nuclear weapons."
"The Arabs have a well defined nuclear doctrine. Already in the late 1970's, the Syrians introduced the doctrinal tenet that, since Israel cannot withstand even a few nuclear strikes, while the Muslim World can prevail [over even] a massive nuclear attack of the magnitude attributed to Israel's capabilities, the nuclear factor is essentially irrelevant for as long as the Arab leaders can hold their position in a strategic nuclear brinkmanship. While Teheran and Damascus are willing to gamble on such a brinkmanship, Jerusalem cannot afford to be wrong -- Israel will not survive as a viable country in the aftermath of a strike with [even] the few nuclear warheads Iran has. Therefore, the mere existence of a credible nuclear threat (on top of the known arsenals of chemical and biological weapons) in effect neutralizes Israel's 'deterrence factor' at the very least for the strategically crucial period of war -- the time frame in which the Arab-Iranian forces manage their strategic grab, while the Israeli government agonizes over the decision how to react to the nuclear ultimatum and the sudden war. Moreover, Washington will be most reluctant to commit American forces and assets under conditions of possible exposure to nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons ... Hence the Arabs and Iranians can also deter an American cover for Israel."
This is the Arab thinking and war planning. They have received nuclear weapons from two sources: the former Arab U.S.S.R. Republics and from Pakistan, who has developed them in cooperation with the nefarious Chinese. You will see how this Arab thinking will play out in the War Scenario, reprinted below. But, I find it interesting that the Arabs are placing a huge amount of credence in the "possibility" that Israel may act indecisively, and may not be aware that the Arabs have all out war planned. I find it incredibly naive for them to think that Israel may not understand that they are about to be attacked, and be surprised that the Arabs plan to spring a 'sudden war' upon them. But, certainly, American forces will not be committed, the Arabs believe, because the Americans are led by the "War Hero", President Clinton, plus we will be reeling under the newly imposed Oil Embargo, plus we will be diverted by the Arab terrorist attacks on our cities.
This is the Arab thinking, and in it, I think we might have the seeds of total disaster for the Arab forces. Remember, God is in total control here, even to the point of confusing the minds of Arab leaders and soldiers. And, God has foretold that the Palestinians are going to be destroyed by fire coming out of Israel; He has foretold complete destruction of Damascus, the Syrian capital; He has foretold of destruction of Egypt, and of Jordan. The stage now seems set for this judgment. "

"Further, as I have stated before, New World Order Planners have long based the appearance of their Antichrist on the basis that Israel will survive this planned World War III intact. When the Antichrist arises, he will attempt to persuade the entire world that he is their Messiah, but he will specifically attempt to 'fulfill' all the Old Testament prophecies concerning Messiah that the Orthodox Jews are anticipating. Indeed, the Orthodox Jews will refrain from pronouncing that Antichrist is their Messiah until and unless they see him 'fulfilling' all these Messianic prophecies. THEREFORE: if the Arabs win this war, and annihilate Israel, the New World Order Plan will be completely upset, AND God's prophecies will be totally proven false. This war is going to be highly interesting, since we know the outcome already!
Now, let us return to the U.S. House of Representatives' Intelligence Report:
"The nuclear issue is not a theoretical academic or speculative issue. In the last days of November, Tehran 'determined' that Israel already put its missiles on 'atomic readiness' ... Tehran did so in part on the basis of intelligence data (satellite photographs and intercept) acquired in Russia and Central Asia. On the basis of this 'data' Tehran undertook the 'appropriate countermeasures'."
I find it highly interesting that the American authors of this intelligence report saw fit to place the words, "determined" and "data" in quotation marks. This leads me to conclude that, just maybe, they do not believe that the "data" which Russia fed to the Iranians is valid; maybe this "data" is bogus, misinformation designed to mislead the Iranians and their Arab allies. Remember, Russia has always been a loyal soldier in the struggle to bring in the New World Order. Therefore, the Russians could be just following a script, much as the United States, and Europe, and maybe Israel, are also just following the same script. The only ones not following a script are the poor Arabs, slated for destruction before the New World Order is implemented.
I believe God is leading the Arabs into a fatal miscalculation that will result in their total destruction, in complete fulfillment of Biblical prophecy. In NEWS1056, we reviewed this prophecy; for our purposes here, I would just like to review some general Biblical principles God has laid down for wicked people who plot the destruction of God's anointed, as Israel truly is today."
and continues
"* "The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming. The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation. Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken." [Psalm 37:12-15] "Their sword shall enter into their own heart and their bows shall be broken" is the warning these Arabs should heed, plus all the Biblical warnings contained in NEWS1056.
* "Behold the wicked man conceives iniquity and is pregnant with mischief and gives birth to lies. He made a pit and hollowed it out and has fallen into the hole which he made before the trap was completed. His mischief shall fall back in return upon his own head and his violence come down with the loose dirt upon his own scalp." [Psalm 7:14-16]
Read and reread this passage very carefully, for this is the essence of what will happen to the Arabs during this war. Not only are they fighting God's protection of Israel in these Last Days of Time, as we outlined in NEWS1056, they are sinning by planning the annihilation of a nation that has only wanted to live in peace, has never initiated hostilities except as an act of a preemptive strike, and has established the only true democracy in the Middle East. Therefore, God's general principle, in the above Scriptures, holds true. The Arabs have prepared and hollowed out the pit in which they plan on the Israelis falling; instead, God will deliver Israel and ensure that the Arabs fall into the very pit they have fashioned."
and continues
"Now, let us read the "War Scenario " of this House of Representatives report:
Syria has a contingency plan for a major war.
"The first step will be a provocation launched from Lebanon -- a 'Lebanese' attack against an Israeli strategic target and/or a spectacular terrorist strike at the heart of Israel. As planned, such a provocation is bound to instigate a major Israeli 'response' in Lebanon. Since, because of the nature of Syrian deployment in south Lebanon, Syrian troops will be killed by any such an Israeli retaliatory strike, Damascus will thus be in a position to call the Israeli actions an unacceptable aggression and threat to Damascus."
"The Syrians will then have the 'justification' to 'retaliate' by launching a barrage of SSMs against Israeli cities and key military facilities. Meanwhile, in solidarity with Palestinian victims ... the PLO's 50,000 'police' and 'auxiliaries' will launch a massive 'intifadah' and a wave of terrorism from their safe-havens in the territories. Taken together, these activities will prove sufficient to prevent a timely deployment of Israeli reserves to the Golan ... Moreover, building pressure in the Arab/Muslim World for all governments and peoples to join the Jihad or face popular uprisings because of their 'un-Islamic' posture, will most likely entice such governments as Egypt's and Jordan's to join the war rather than risk overthrow. Meanwhile, led by Saudi Arabia, the Muslim World will declare oil embargo. There are sufficient Islamic terrorists all over the West to launch a wave of terrorism in Europe and the U.S. in order to prevent, or delay, U.S. assistance to Israel."
and continues
"Isn't this wonderful news? In addition to having to go through a planned world war in the Middle East, we are going to have to pay for an oil embargo and endure planned terrorist attacks by Islamic militants. If Iran has received nuclear devices from the former USSR Arab states, could they not supply some to these terrorists? If this were to happen, the United States and Europe could really be under the gun! Let's see, which of Tom Clancy's novels featured this scenario as their plot? I think it was "Sum Of All Fears", where Arab terrorists blow up Denver Mile High Stadium during a Super Bowl. We have also been sufficiently warned by other media sources [like TV documentaries] that we would not be too surprised for this type of nuclear terrorism to actually occur.
Might this be the time where other contrived "crisis" occur? Might we have that planned nuclear crisis from North Korea? Might we have that planned series of riots in the cities? Might California be rocked with earthquakes? Might the Arabs again blow up their oil fields, as called for in Lemesurier's "The Armageddon Script "? Might our President stand before the TV cameras during this time, explaining why he "must" suspend our civil liberties and our Constitutional protections, in order to better deal with these unprecedented series of concurrently running crises? We just have to wait and see, keeping alert and spiritually vigilant at all times.
Now that this American intelligence report has done a good job describing the planned scenario for war between the entire Arab world, over 250 million strong, against tiny Israel, 4.5 million 'weak', the question then becomes, "When"? While we may not know the exact timing, we can strongly state that the timing of such a war will occur when God's timing is perfectly situated for the end of the Church Age of Grace and the beginning of God's Age of Vengeance [Isaiah 61:2]. When you see the Palestinian Arabs being annihilated you will know Obadiah 15-18 has been fulfilled right in front of you, and that the appearance of Antichrist is not too far behind!
The question of this century is: Will Israel fall into the trap so carefully laid and planned by the Arabs, or will God cause the Arabs to fall into their own trap? Will God Himself intervene in this war, to give Israel victory over overwhelming odds, thus giving God the glory? We have already reviewed the Bible Scriptures in which God has promised to do exactly these things. We do not know at this point, so all we can do is watch, pray for Israel, and for God's Name and His Omnipotent power to get all the glory.
I reiterate what I have said before. The New World Order Planners envision that Israel will survive this planned war, that the Arabs will be the ones annihilated. Their plans for Antichrist call for him to come walking through the dust and smoke and destruction of this Third World War, amidst signs and wonders, to deceive the peoples of the world. In particular, the New World Order Plan calls for Antichrist to work especially hard to deceive the Orthodox Jews into believing that he is their Messiah. Obviously, if Israel were to be destroyed, Antichrist would have to dramatically alter his plan. Therefore, the Arabs are being led into a gigantic trap here, just when they think they are the ones laying the trap! "
Part 2 of this article lastly says
"You can be sure that God's Plan for Israel and the End of the Age will not be frustrated nor brought to no account. Every one of God's prophecies will be fulfilled exactly. If you are Born Again, you have no fear. Israel as a nation need not fear destruction, even though she may take heavy casualties. If you know the Lord Jesus Christ and your Savior, or if you are a Jew worried about Israel's survival, you can take comfort in God's assurances of protection in Psalm 91. Read it carefully, again and again, and you will find comfort for your soul.
Are you spiritually ready? Is your family? Are you adequately protecting your loved ones? This is the reason for this ministry, to enable you to first understand the peril facing you, and then help you develop strategies to warn and protect your loved ones. Once you have been thoroughly trained, you can also use your knowledge as a means to open the door of discussion with an unsaved person. I have been able to use it many times, and have seen people come to Jesus Christ as a result. These perilous times are also a time when we can reach many souls for Jesus Christ, making an eternal difference.
If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, but have been very lukewarm in your spiritual walk with Him, you need to immediately ask Him for forgiveness and for renewal. He will instantly forgive you, and fill your heart with the joy of the Holy Spirit. Then, you need to begin a daily walk of prayer and personal Bible Study.
If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as Savior, but have come to realize His reality and the approaching End of the Age, and want to accept His FREE Gift of Eternal Life, you can also do so now, in the privacy of your home. Once you accept Him as Savior, you are spiritually Born Again, and are as assured of Heaven as if you were
already there. Then, you can rest assured that the Kingdom of Antichrist will not touch you spiritually. If you would like to become Born Again, turn to our Salvation Page now.
We hope you have been blessed by this ministry, which seeks to educate and warn people, so that they can see the coming New World Order -- Kingdom of Antichrist -- in their daily news."
