"Loving
the people and land of Israel has nothing to do
with being blessed if I bless Israel, and nothing nothing to do with
end time

I behold Him He continues to create in me the same undying love He
has for
His people."

The Peril of Failed American
Peace Initiatives
This week, the Obama Administration hurriedly
announced a call for new peace talks between Israel and the Palestinian
Authority. This seems so ill-timed and ill-prepared.
What's motivating this initiative? We have not seen any behind-the-scene
progress made between the two parties that ensures any successful results, any
more than whatever little were ever achieved between the two parties in the
past. So why now, especially in light of the danger of a potentially nuclear
Iran that America and Israel face today? <continue>

Jerusalem
is
Israel’s Eternal Capital.... Biblically, Historically
& Politically
●For over 3,000 years, no
nations or empires but Israel have had
their capital
in Jerusalem.
●The Bible mentions the name
“Jerusalem” nearly 800 times; but not once is it mentioned in the
Qur’an.
●The U.S. House in 1990 and the Senate in 1995
passed the Jerusalem Embassy Act recognizing Jerusalem as the spiritual
center
of Judaism and the undivided capital of Israel, where persons of
all religious faiths are guaranteed full access to holy sites. This Act further authorized the United
States to move its Embassy to Jerusalem.
●Israel has the sovereign right, like any
democratic nation, to allow the building of new houses for its
residents anywhere, including all of
Jerusalem.
Declaration
of Support
for
Israel and Jerusalem
In response to rising
global anti-Semitism and threats to Israel's security, we declare our
support of Israel's right to exist as the historical national homeland
for
Jews, with Jerusalem as her undivided capital. We further support Israel's
right to retain secure and defensible borders for the protection of her
citizens against foreign enemies and terror insurgents.
We
recognize Israel as the most democratic nation in the Middle East, a
nation
that guarantees "complete equality of social and political rights to
all
its inhabitants, irrespective of religion, race or sex" and pledges to
"safeguard the Holy Places of all religion." (Quoted from the 1948
Israeli Declaration of Independence). Sharing with us these precious
democratic
and Judeo-Christian values, Israel has been and must remain America's
closest
ally in the Middle East.
For
the last 3,000 years, despite foreign occupiers and attackers,
Israel has
been the declared homeland of one people: the Jews. The Babylonians in
the
sixth century BCE and the Romans in 70 CE destroyed the Temple and
scattered
the Jewish people. Subsequent empires have appropriated the land. Yet,
none of
them, including the Arab Muslim occupiers, have ever called Israel
their
homeland, or Jerusalem their national capital. Finally, in 1948, the
Jews
reclaimed their nation, with Jerusalem as its capital. But from 1948 to
1967,
Jordan closed off the east Jerusalem and the West Bank from Israel,
stopping
any Jews from visiting their holy sites. In the 1967 Six Day War,
Israel
re-captured all of Jerusalem and brought her undivided capital under a
sovereign Jewish rule. And thus it shall remain as Israel's eternal
capital.
The
Bible specifically mentions the name "Jerusalem" nearly 800
times, linking the city with the faith and history of the Jewish
people. In
contrast, the birth of Islam 1,400 years ago took place outside the
land of
Israel. The name of Jerusalem does not appear even once in Islam's holy
book,
the Qur'an. Despite
over a century of Arab rejectionism and wars large and small
that have
needlessly taken thousands of Jewish and Arab lives, a secure Israel
must
continue to be the center of our hopes and prayers.
"[The] heart and
soul of the Jewish people engenders the thought that if you want one
simple
word to symbolize all of Jewish history, that word would be
'Jerusalem.'"
Teddy
Kollek
In
view of the above, on May 23, 2010, at the Boston March for Jerusalem,
we
declared and affirmed our support of Israel and her undivided capital,
Jerusalem.

Israel's Right
to
Build in Jerusalem
IN THEIR OWN
WORDS

Editorial: The Freedom
to Build in Jerusalem by
Rachel Sylvetsky
(IsraelNN.com) Karl Marx
accused his
fellow Jews of being a “cosmopolitan” people who could not develop
roots in any
specific area of the world. No Jew lover, he wrote his barbed phrase as
though
it was an inherent Jewish characteristic, along with usury and other
unproductive occupations, without taking into account that it might be
an
acquired one. After all, Jews could hardly be expected to plant roots
when
history was replete with banishments, expulsions, pogroms and
ghettoizing that
hardly served to make the Jewish populace in most countries feel at
home.
The Jew’s image in the Diaspora
was also that of the People of the Book, a more positive, and
continuing,
pursuit than that attributed to them by Marx. Intellectualism
made up
for a normal nations’ construction, farming and production, denied to
them for
centuries.
However, the Jewish
people certainly
had a history of building.

Modern Israel, America & the Middle East Crisis Through the Prism
of the Bible
Shalom!
Like all people of goodwill, Christian Zionists are deeply concerned
about
truth, justice and compassion for all people. We understand that we are
all
created in God’s image which makes us have the highest regard for the
sanctity
of life. As such, we desire that people be given the opportunity to
live their
lives with honor, dignity, freedom and peace. We truly want to listen
to every
legitimate voice that shares these values.
Are
there biblical, historical, or moral voices to guide us? As a concerned
Christian and citizen of our world, this author has spent twenty-five
years
listening, studying, and traveling to Israel in order to learn the
various
views of the Arab-Israeli conflict. I want to share with you what I
have
learned.
As
“people of the Book,” Jews and Christians must look to God’s holy word
as the
voice of truth regarding the problems between Israel, the PLO, and the
surrounding Moslem and Arab countries. What does the voice of Scripture
say?
Who Was
Responsible for
Decisive Aid to Israel in 1948
and Who Caused the Palestinian Arab “Naqba” ? by Norman Berdichevsky
The world has been inundated with a tsunami of propaganda and crocodile
tears shed for the “Palestinians” who have reveled in what they refer
to as their Catastrophe or Holocaust (“Nakba” in Arabic). Their plight
has been accompanied by unremitting criticism that the United States
was the principal architect that stood behind Israel from the very
beginning with money, manpower and arms. The fact is that President
Truman eventually decided against the pro-Arab “professional opinion”
of his Secretary of State, General George Marshall and the Arabists of
the State Department.
Coming to Grips With Sharia
By Frank Gaffney
http://www.jewishworldreview.com/cols/gaffney081010.php3
Suddenly, it
seems, everyone is talking about Shariah. In particular, growing
controversies over proposed mosques at Ground Zero and other sites are
becoming powerful "teaching moments" - raising awareness about the
repressive theo-political-military-legal doctrine that animates the
builders and that their fellow adherents seek to impose on the entire
world.
This is a most welcome development in light of the grave and growing
threat posed by this agenda and the concerted effort being made - here
and elsewhere, through violent jihad and the stealthy kind - to realize
that goal.
Obama's attempted
analogy of a mosque at ground zero and Washington's
letter to Touro Synagogue by Norman
Berdichevsky
New
York City mayor Bloomberg and President
Obama have endorsed mosque near Ground Zero as a matter of religious
tolerance
and cited the letter President George Washington wrote to Rabbi Moses
Seixas of
the early Jewish congregation in Newport, Rhode Island to express his
appreciation for their deepest pledges of loyalty to the new
republic in
1790.
