Israel, 'We Just Want to Live in Peace' Christians Must Not Be Quiet

Nurit Greenger

Article based on the speech of American radio personality, Janet Parshall, delivered when she was awarded the Proclaiming Justice to the Nations' 2011 Ed McAteer Tree of Life Award.

Janet Parshall is a Christian Zionist. In her view, Christians must not be silent towards the delegitimizers of Israel. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhVdnJRVKv4&feature=player_embedded)

Now, more than ever, Israel needs as many friends it can muster and Israel could not have begotten a better friend than Janet Parshall, who is calling to honor Israel, to pray for peace in Jerusalem and to allow viable believing Christians to express their unconditional love for God's ancient children. The message is simple:

To love Israel and the Jewish people is the mandate of Christian believers who entered into the marketplace of ideas. They need to bring the message of love, spoken with truth on their lips. They need to know the role Jews played, are playing and will play in the course of human history.

For Zion's sake, Christians must not be silent. Being silent has deadly results, as we see today: aneo-Nazi group, in Detroit, is planning a two-day conference, with a rally to follow, outside the New Jersey State House; recently, a neo-Nazi, in Arizona, was charged with manufacturing homemade explosives; his goal, was to maximize human carnage. Last January, a neo-Nazi was convicted for encouraging violence against the foreman of a Jury that convicted a fellow neo-Nazi of murdering a federal judge. Last December, a neo-Nazi was found vandalizing dozens of headstones in a Jewish cemetery near Chicago and last November, a neo-Nazi rally, in Phoenix, turned unto a rock hurling mêlée. And all this is happening at present in the United States.

The scriptures tell us that out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. So here are dome heartless comments:

Helen Thomas, former White House correspondence: Jews should get the hell out of Palestine; they should go home, to Poland, Germany, America and wherever else. The Congress, White House, Hollywood and Wall Street is owned by the Zionists.

Former Malayan Prime Minister: Jews have always been a problem in European countries. They had to be confine to Ghettos and periodically massacres. Even after their massacre by the Nazis of Germany, they survived to continue to be a source of even greater problem to the world.

The Palestinian Authority Deputy Minister of Interior: The Jews have no historical or religious ties to the Temple Mount or the Western Wall. There is no archaeological evidence that Temple Mount was built during King Solomon's era.

Economist, once set on the German Central Bank Board: All Jews have certain gene that distinguishes them from all others.

Historian who worked for the Lithuanian Interior Ministry: The Nuremberg Trial was the biggest legal farce in history. The legend about Six Million Jews, supposedly murdered, acquired legal basis even though the court did not have a single document, signed by A. Hitler, concerning the extermination of the Jews.

Oliver Stone: Israel has fouled up the United States' foreign policy for years.

There is a need to look at all that is happening through the lens of the Scriptures: Anti-Semitism is a SIN! Pure and simple! And when one looks at this, one begins to understand the pernicious nature of this SIN. From the moment Cain killed his brother Abel, to Pharaoh trying to imprisoned the Israelites, to watching what was happening with Haman in Persia, to see what took place in Nazi German and Auschwitz and Buchenwald, we, who are spiritualized, have to understand that Satan is afoot and it has tried to wipe out the Jews since the Jews came into being.

There is a simple, but profound, reason why Satan is doing this. It never ever wants the world to know, and remember, the history of God's People because, if that truth is before the world, the world will never know the Messiah is for real.

Therefore, we need to understand that all this is, first, last and always, an ongoing political warfare.

Former Condoleezza Rice once said about the conflict the Arabs have with the Israelis: the United States' job is to get the two sides to talk. Yet, the United States has gone far afield from that!

Israel's victims of terror do not hate their Arab perpetrators. They just want to live in peace, real peace. So we have to remember that the prince of peace came out of the seed of Abraham. Therefore, Satan hates the Jews.

It is also, first, last and always, a spiritual warfare. As if God changed His mind, out of Christianity, the ugly unconscionable idea of Replacement Theology* was born. If God is the same one of yesterday, today and forever, how could He have changed his mind?! He did not. And in later days we are going to see more and more of this phenomenon. We only have to watch what is going on in the theater of world's stage, from the collapse of Lebanon, the tumult in the streets of Cairo, what is going on in Yemen, Iraq, Iran, Tripoli and Syria, and then be clear that Islam is on the move. Stan is on the move!

But, Jews will never be wiped from the face of the earth and God's people can never be silent on this issue.

When people say to divest in Israel or compare the situation in Israel, to Apartheid in South Africa, Christians must first and foremost study the Book, written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Because Christians need to study it to show themselves approved unto God, so they know His word, they love His people and know His promises and then articulate them in the marketplace of ideas. Then, taking the mandate that was given to the church, Christians must speak the truth and love.

Christians cannot be quiet. God has had many choices for His chosen children but, in His infinite wisdom, He chose the Jews. And though, in times, Jews feel like saying what Teviah the Milkman-Fiddler On The Roof said, "I know we are the chosen people. But once in a while, can't you choose someone else?", He chose the Jews. And because of what he has done, for Zion sake, we, Christians, will never be silent!

* Replacement Theology was introduced by the Church shortly after Gentile leadership took over from Jewish leadership. Its premises: Israel-the Jewish people and the land of Israel have been replaced by the Christian Church, or, more precisely, the Church is the historic continuation of Israel to the exclusion of the former. Therefore, the Jewish people are no longer a "chosen people." In fact, they are no different from any other group, such as the English, Spanish, or Africans. Apart from repentance, the new birth, and incorporation into the Church, the Jewish people have no future, no hope, and no calling in the plan of God. The same is true for every other nation and group. Since Pentecost of Acts 2, the term "Israel," as found in the Bible, now refers to the Church. The promises, covenants and blessings ascribed to Israel in the Bible have been taken away from the Jews and given to the Church, which has superseded them. However, the Jews are subject to the curses found in the Bible, as a result of their rejection of Christ.

Anonymous said...: DAVID LETTERMAN'S HATE, ETC. !

David Letterman's hate is as old as some ancient Hebrew prophets.
Speaking of anti-Semitism, it's Jerry Falwell and other fundy leaders who've gleefully predicted that in the future EVERY nation will be against Israel (an international first?) and that TWO-THIRDS of all Jews will be killed, right?
Wrong! It's the ancient Hebrew prophet Zechariah who predicted all this in the 13th and 14th chapters of his book! The last prophet, Malachi, explains the reason for this future Holocaust that'll outdo even Hitler's by stating that "Judah hath dealt treacherously" and "the Lord will cut off the man that doeth this" and asks "Why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother?"
Haven't evangelicals generally been the best friends of Israel and persons perceived to be Jewish? Then please explain the recent filthy, hate-filled, back-stabbing tirades by David Letterman (plus Sandra Bernhard, Larry David, Kathy Griffin, Bill Maher, Joan Rivers, and Sarah Silverman) against Christians like Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin, and explain why most Jewish leaders have seemingly condoned such "crucifixion"!
While Letterman etc. are tragically turning comedy into tragedy, they are also helping to speed up and fulfill the Final Holocaust a la Zechariah and Malachi, thus helping to make the Bible even more believable!
For even more stunning information, visit MSN, Google, Yahoo etc. and type in "Separation of Raunch and State," "Michael the Narc-Angel," "Obama Supports Public Depravity," "Pretrib Rapture Dishonesty," "Pretrib Rapture - Hidden Facts" and "Obama Fulfilling the Bible."
PS - - - There's nothing wrong with Hollywood that a 10-point earthquake couldn't fix !!

The IDF’s Minorities in Numbers and Pictures

In honor of IDF Diversity Week, we present diversity through numbers and pictures. Each year, more and more Muslims, Christians, Druze, Bedouin and immigrants from around the world take on the responsibility of defending Israel.

MUSLIMS:

Muslim Arab Israelis are not required to draft in the IDF, but there are many who volunteer. In 2013, there were over 200 Muslims serving in the IDF and over 300 in the reserves.

Bedouins:

Bedouins are nomadic Muslims who were in Israel when modern borders were set in place and are now considered Israeli citizens. They are not required to draft but a growing number choose to enlist. In 2012, there were over 1,400 Bedouin Muslim soldiers doing regular IDF service and almost 1,500 in the reserves.

Are you aware that in 2013, Middle class taxes go up-significantly?

In January of next year, the federal income tax rate for middle-class taxpayers is scheduled to rise from 25 percent to 28 percent, and the payroll tax is scheduled to rise from 13.3 percent to 15.3 percent… This drives the marginal tax rate based on the aforementioned three taxes to 48.12 percent. Add in state and local property, corporate, excise, and other state and local taxes, and the percentage of each additional dollar that is taxed hovers around 50 percent… When half of each additional dollar earned is taxed away, taxpayers experience a disincentive to start businesses or expand existing ones. This leads to fewer jobs being created.

Why is HAMAS Inside Tampa Schools?

Clare Lopez

Kelly Miliziano, who teaches history classes at Steinbrenner High School in the Tampa, Florida area apparently thinks it’s perfectly OK to invite a senior official of a HAMAS-affiliated organization into her classroom to discuss Islam with her students. According to local media reports, not only has this been going on for years, but in spite of the civil and criminal proceedings that could result from such reckless negligence, the Hillsborough County school superintendent, Mary Ellen Elia, and the chairman of the school board, Candy Olson, also expressed approval for students under their responsibility to be exposed repeatedly to guest speaker, Hassan Shibly, who is the Executive Director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in the Tampa area.

Did You Know... Ignoring the Call to Islam will Bring Jihad

‘Conquest through Da’wa [proselytizing] that is what we hope for. We will conquer Europe, we will conquer America! Not through sword but through Da’wa.’
-- Yousef al-Qaradawi , Muslim Brotherhood spiritual leader The Arabic word ‘Da’wa’ means the “call to Islam.” But do not think that Da’wa is the same thing as an invitation to an optional holiday event. The classical Islamic doctrine of jihad mandates that enemies must be given the opportunity to convert to Islam or pay the jizya tax before it is permissible to attack them.

On March 31, 1977, the Dutch newspaper Trouw published an interview

with PLO executive committee member Zahir Muhsein. Here's what he said:

"The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct "Palestinian people" to oppose Zionism.

For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan."

The Arab Apartheid

Ben-Dror Yemini
In 1948, the Arab countries refused to accept the UN partition proposal and they launched a war of annihilation against the State of Israel which had barely been established. All precedents in this matter showed that the party that starts the war - and with a declaration of annihilation, yet - pays a price for it. Between 550,000 and 710,000 Arabs fled because of the war and a larger number of 850,000 Jews were expelled or fled from Arab countries (the "Jewish nakba").
Population exchanges and expulsions were the norm at that time, occurring in dozens of other conflict points and affecting about 52 million people. In all the population exchange precedents that occurred during or at the end of an armed conflict, there was no return of refugees to the previous region, which had turned into a new national state.
Only the Arab states acted completely differently from the rest of the world. Instead of assimilating the refugees, they crushed them despite the fact that they were their coreligionists and members of the Arab nation - instituting a regime of apartheid. So the "nakba" was not caused by the actual dispossession, which had also been experienced by tens of millions of others. The "nakba" is the story of the apartheid, oppression, abuse and denial of rights suffered by the Arab refugees at the hands of the Arab countries. (Maariv)

International Law and Military Operations in Practice - Col. Richard Kemp

"Islamist fighting groups study the international laws of armed conflict carefully and they understand it well. They know that a British or Israeli commander and his men are bound by international law and the rules of engagement that flow from it. They then do their utmost to exploit what they view as one of their enemy's main weaknesses. Their very modus operandi is built on the correct assumption that Western armies will normally abide by the rules, while these insurgents employ a deliberate policy of operating consistently outside international law. "

Lost Historical Moments

What Rabin’s last Knesset speech really said:repudiation of a Palestinian state

Rabin ruled out a fully sovereign Palestinian state :

“We view the permanent solution in the framework of State of Israel which will include most of the area of the Land of Israel as it was under the rule of the British Mandate, and alongside it a Palestinian entity which will be a home to most of the Palestinian residents living in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. We would like this to be an entity which is less than a state, and which will independently run the lives of the Palestinians under its authority.”

Rabin ruled out a total withdrawal from Judea and Samaria and thus a return to the pre-June 1967 borders :

“The borders of the State of Israel, during the permanent solution, will be beyond the lines which existed before the Six Day War. We will not return to the 4 June 1967 lines.”

Rabin ruled out withdrawing form the Jordan Valley:

“The security border of the State of Israel will be located in the Jordan Valley, in the broadest meaning of that term.”

Rabin ruled out uprooting settlement blocs, like the Gush Katif bloc in Gaza (which was subsequently uprooted by former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon):

“The establishment of blocs of settlements in Judea and Samaria, like the one in Gush Katif.

AND

Rabin ruled out removing any settlement before coming to a full peace agreement with the Palestinians:

“I want to remind you: we committed ourselves, that is, we came to an agreement, and committed ourselves before the Knesset, not to uproot a single settlement in the framework of the interim agreement, and not to hinder building for natural growth.”

Rabin insisted on Israel retaining full security control of the borders with Egypt and Jordan, contrary to Israel’s relinquishment of the Philadelphia Corridor on the border with Egypt:

“The responsibility for external security along the borders with Egypt and Jordan, as well as control over the airspace above all of the territories and Gaza Strip maritime zone, remains in our hands.”

Correcting Oslo Myths-Part 2

3) Kuttab laments that the post-1993 Oslo process resulted in a Palestinian Authority "whose ministers and legislators are not guaranteed passage between Gaza and the West Bank ...."

Before free passage or other perquisites, PA leaders were obligated, among other things, to eliminate the terrorist infrastructure in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, end anti-Israeli, antisemitic incitement in schools, mosques, and communications media, and resolve all outstanding issues through peaceful negotiations. They met none of these commitments, sometimes bolstering terrorism and greatly increasing incitement.

4) Kuttab complains that under Oslo the PA got "lightly armed police ---- but no real sovereignty over the land or contiguity between our communities in Gaza and the West Bank."

Oslo agreements repeatedly were revised, regardless of Palestinian non-compliance, until the authorized number of police grew from 8,000 to 40,000. Though they were to be the only armed forces in the territories, Israeli estimates early in the second intifada put the number of gunmen - police, "security services," terrorists, and armed gangs - at 85,000. Their armament reportedly included not only heavy machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades, but also anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles.

Sovereignty was to be negotiated in the envisioned 1998 "final status" talks - after a five-year period of confidence-building. Palestinian leadership chronically undermined the process. Palestinian terrorism made the 1993 - 1998 Oslo period more deadly for Israelis than the 15 years preceding it.

The United States doesn't have contiguity between the lower 48 states and Alaska and Hawaii; territorial contiguity between the West Bank and Gaza Strip - that is, through the 20 miles of Israeli territory between them - was never promised and would destroy Israeli contiguity.

5) "Palestinians have been made to endure hundreds of checkpoints in the West Bank, an eight-foot wall deep in our territories, and tight Israeli control over borders."

The security barrier is not "deep in Palestinian territories," but rather encompasses less than 8 percent of Judea and Samaria, and is mostly a fence, rarely a wall; the land in question is not "our [Palestinian] territories" but disputed territory to which, according to the authors of U.N. Security Council Resolution 242, Jews as well as Arabs have claims; and there are no international borders, only the 1949 armistice lines with Jordan. Under 242, borders remain to be negotiated. As for checkpoints - like the security barrier and "tight Israeli control" - Palestinian Arabs precipitated these measures themselves. No terrorism and there would be no fence or tight Israeli control and few checkpoints - like before the first intifada.

Correcting Some Oslo Myths

1) In Oslo "Israeli, Palestinian and other world leaders promised that ... Palestinian sovereignty would be solidified."

No, they didn't. The 1993 Declaration of Principles and subsequent Oslo agreements outlined a process by which final status negotiations about the West Bank and Gaza Strip would be reached. The process required an end to anti-Israel terrorism and incitement and a commitment to peaceful negotiations. The PA, Fatah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, and other terrorist groups, sabotaged the process from the start.

2) "The reality is that, in defiance of U.N. Security Council Resolution 242, which states that it is inadmissible to occupy land by force, Palestinian territories are still under foreign military occupation."
Wrong again. Resolution 242 (1967) does note "the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war." It also affirms the right of every state in the area "to live in peace with secure and recognized boundaries free from threats or acts of force." There were no "Palestinian territories." Jordan occupied the West Bank, Egypt controlled Gaza. Israel did not have "secure and recognized boundaries," so retention of some of those territories was possible under 242. Israel is not a "foreign" military occupier in the West Bank but, pending final negotiations, the lawful military administrator as a result of a successful war of self-defense.
