Shimon Peres Came to Power Over Rabin's Dead Body
Mystical Turbans
Mystical Turbans
Dancing round and round
Dancing on the Edge of Destruction
The Mahdi's coming to town
Veiled threats sound louder and louder
Rumbling like thunder
Infidels fall down as
Sword of Islam strikes asunder
Kamikazes in keffiyehs
Go nuclear bound
Hashish and virgins pipe dream
Stoked by mad Mahdi jinn
Out to deceive
White horse from Vien
Rushes to the bloody scene
Forces genie into bottle
As umma sands scream
Mystical Mitres
Dancing round and round
Dancing on the Edge of Destruction
The Emperor's coming to town
Look out Mount Zion
Temple Mount too
The lightning that struck Madhi
Now aims for you
Evil eye on Jerusalem
It's all been foretold
Divine intervention necessary
That's all she wrote...
Mystical turbans and
Mystical mitres melt
All opposition destroyed
Jacob-Israel the survivor

Perfidy and the Flood
Perfidy and the Flood (c)
Prof. Eugene Narrett
August 17th, 2006
Labor Zionism is destroying the Jewish people by destroying the state of Israel. The process nears its terminus: the iron gates are in view. If all the aspects of this perennial regime are not expelled, the remnants of Jewish sovereignty will be buried in a “New Middle East” patrolled by blue helmets and thickly punctuated by jihadist assaults. Jews in a semi-autonomous IDF, ruled by NME commanders will continue to bleed for the destruction of the Jewish promise, land, and dream of redemption (cf. psalm 126).
The Israeli wedge for the NME is the Olmert-Peres-Peretz regime and its enforcing affiliate in the self-perpetuating Hellenist Supreme Court. A politicized General Staff, neutered of its Judaism, weaned from victory and conscripted into expelling Jews from their home (a key facet of NME - Global Security State business) is the third leg of this suicidal troika.
Labor Zionism is destroying the Jewish people. This has been going on since they seized the Hagana from Jabotinsky and imposed upon it the suicidal doctrine of havlaga (Jewish “self-restraint” after Arab attacks on Jews). Even a short summary of Labor’s perfidy is beyond the scope of this essay. Merely note that they cooperated with the British in imposing a quota system on Jewish immigration from the late 1920s till the White Paper of 1939; that even then undermined and sabotaged attempts for large scale rescue of Europe’s Jews to Israel. They vilified and sabotaged those who sought to throw out the British and open the shores to Jews; they undermined the liberation of all of Jerusalem in 1948; they sank the Altalena, its state-saving cargo of armaments and self-sacrificing crew of Jewish patriots; they failed to complete the military victories of 1967 and then failed to assert Jewish sovereignty throughout the Promised Land. They despised the desirable land and the Temple Mount. They refused to preempt the Yom Kippur war and then led the nation toward grief and melancholy rather than toward redemption and renewed spirit. Always their main fight was to retain their death grip on the state. Their notorious internecine treacheries, their financial, military, judicial and political scandals all are legion; their affiliations with various global NGO’s and foreign diplomats are chilling. They undermined Begin at Camp David; in May 1981 they leaked and almost destroyed the bombing of Osirak and the 1982 invasion of Lebanon; they saved the PLO for Oslo which fractured Israel into terrorist enclaves now metastasizing into the Road Map and a NATO-protected Islamic state in Judea and Samaria that already promises to shower the coastal plain with rockets.
Labor Zionism is destroying the Jewish people by destroying the State of Israel. Jews all over the world will feel our few decades of pride and relative security melt back into the fear and low profile that had characterized the exile for millennia. Attacks like those in Seattle, and outbursts like that of Mel Gibson, already echoed in Islamic State media from Egypt to Pakistan will increase. Few Jews, perhaps not even those who have turned coat will be truly safe.
A useful measure of the damage done to Israel by its failure to fight and win this war may be understood from the comments in Egypt’s main, government-sponsored daily paper, Al-Ahram. Egyptian Mufti Sheikh Dr. Ali Gum’a expressed support for Hezbollah and fingered Israel as “the Hebrew entity that is the true and hideous face of the blood-suckers… who prepare [Passover] matzos from human blood“(August 07, memri.org). This is the respect and peace that Israel bought by surrendering the Sinai peninsula and all the other unilateral surrenders from Area A, to southern Lebanon, to Gush Katif, to the most recent obeisance to the “International Community”: they have inflamed the blood libel. They have returned Jews to the status of dhimmis, cringing and defenseless, begging genocidal enemies for peace instead of fighting till victory…
Secularists-materialists treasure their own political power over everything. Such people never own their mistakes; repentance is what they do to those who expose their lies. Thus Labor Zionism excels at blaming others for the failures that inevitably result from their spurning of their heritage. The settlers, the truest Jews there are have been vilified for problems caused by Labor’s havlaga, multi-cultural Arabism, and sinat hinam. And now the finger-pointing and scape-goating of middle echelon military and civil officials begins in response to the Olmert-Peres disaster, the limp and purposely bungled response to Iran’s attack on Israel via Hezbollah. The politically neutered IDF was further hamstrung and the resulting chaotic response to Hezbollah has been noted and already is being commented on by Islamic states and their paramilitary groups. The Chief of Staff gained his position by commanding the expulsion of Jews from Gush Katif and thus facilitating and abetting the Hamas war on south Israel and smuggling of rockets to Judea and Samaria, the penultimate death-note of Israel. He certainly will not help ameliorate this chronic and, if not excised, fatal dynamic. Even now he is concerned with protecting his status and blaming others.
As we have noted before, nothing constructive or life-affirming for Jews will arise from the regime of Cossacks that carried out the pogrom at Amona. For decades the malignant Mr. Peres has been working the international connections committed to aborting a Jewish state and burying Judaism and its holy sites beneath a New World Order. Jews will continue to supply cannon-fodder and technological prowess for a global security state committed to erasing their identity and soul-saving way of life. Any one in the Knesset not vigorously demanding the resignation of this government of national defeat and disaster has revealed themselves to be part of the existential wound that must be cauterized this month if Israel is to survive.
Some Jews, especially well-connected ones may think that serving the Global Security State will assure their safety. They would do well to clear the arrogance and self-centeredness from their expectations: all Jews are disposable to this New Secular Order. Hellenist Jews may pride themselves on eating shrimp but even the top few quislings are not essential, not even now: certainly not next year. A master will always find new tools to serve his turn. What is necessary is that they remain tools, — slaves.
As a great teacher wrote, “God will win the war because of the simple people… and not the sophisticated.” When the storm comes, and indeed it is raging, “the ministers will scatter in all directions, leaving the king in great danger.” But the simple settlers will take the King in, blessing him with “the sweetest and most pleasurable experience.” The settler, who is the Moshe of our generation, “will take the king home in his wagon and he will set Him on his throne.”
This is the only way Redemption will come, sooner or later. The simple people, the high holy ones, the Kedoshim will reestablish the throne of the King and His human king in Jerusalem and the entire Land will be settled, inhabited.
The people must go out into the street in great numbers, greater than the August 2005 rallies for Gush Katif and demand strict justice and banishment for those who brought Hamas upon Israel, and gave pride and victory to the Hitler in Iran. An eminently winnable war was made a disgrace, a confession of ineptitude, and an invitation to more attacks which already are being demanded by the jihadists. They see and scent very clearly the servility of the morons, bunglers and quislings that have a chokehold on Israel.
There has never been peace in Lebanon. Since the end of the northern kingdom of ancient Israel it has been a place from which Jews are attacked: Fatah-land, Hamas-land, Hezbollah land. There will be no peace for Israel until southern Lebanon, the territories of Asher and Zebulon are settled and ruled and defended by Jews. The same is true of Gush Katif – Gerar. One does not need the Scriptures to demonstrate this. It has been shown before the eyes of everyone everyday since the Egyptian invasion of 1948…
The same approach applies to Judea and Samaria, the heartland of the Jewish people and their most ancient settlements. If they allow “faithless shepherds” to spurn their birthright the void will be filled by Hamas, foreign soldiers and alien gods. The banner of Israel must be raised in the face of the nations, as it is written.
In the era of terror, the time of the ‘War on Terror’ and the global security state we return to ancient days: “the earth has become corrupt before God, v’atimalei ha’aretz Hamas, and the earth teems with violence.” The flood of Hamas surges over the earth, mal’ah ha’aretz Hamas (Genesis 6:11-13). Again violence is a tool of “the sons of the powers” and the children of Israel are caught between the world’s two dominant forms of lust and violence.
Rabbi Nachman writes that “before the Messiah comes, there will be flood, a flood of immorality and atheism. It will cover all the high mountains even in the Holy Land… it will affect even virtuous hearts.
“There will be no way to combat this with sophistication. All the royal ministers will be scattered, and the entire kingdom will not be firm on its foundation. The only ones who will uphold it will be the simple Jews who recite psalms with sincerity” and who act to see that the betrayers and collaborators of Hamas be swept out of the land they sought to drown in their perfidy and whirlpools of lies.
And then the simple Jews will place the crown on the deliverer’s head. Israel will settle in its place, the Temple will be built, and the nations will know that there is a God in Israel. The Jewish people must begin this work; it is almost too late to stem the flood.

David Cameron is in denial about South Africa
How my party got it so very wrong on apartheid
David Cameron finds that the long struggle of Nelson Mandela and the ANC offers important lessons for the Tories
Sunday August 27, 2006
The Observer
**********************************
David Cameron has got it so very wrong on apartheid, because David Cameron is in denial. Communist Nelson Mandela was and remains a terrorist who should have been hung for treason years ago. Communist Nelson Mandela, the terrorist in a suit and tie who never misses an opportunity to bash the West, was foolishly released from prison with stipulation never to enter politics, even though guilty of aiding and abetting the African National Congress by amassing weapons and plotting to overthrow the government, even recently showing reporters where he hid what the press had denied. The rest is history, dark history - the ignoble end of white Israelite rule in their God-given inheritance of South Africa that now lies in bitter ruins due to white liberal traitors.

The plain truth about the terrorist Nelson Mandela from Wikipedia:
"In 1961, he became the leader of the ANC's armed wing Umkhonto we Sizwe (translated as Spear of the Nation, also abbreviated MK), which he co-founded. He co-ordinated a sabotage campaign against military and government targets, and made plans for a possible guerrilla war if sabotage failed to end apartheid. A few decades later, MK did indeed wage a guerrilla war against the regime, especially during the 1980s. Mandela also raised funds for MK abroad, and arranged for paramilitary training, visiting various African governments."

Christian Zionists, Jews, and Israel
For the record, I am a Bible-believer, a Christian-Zionist (one who believes the Prophets foretold the restoration of Jews first of all 12 Tribes of Israel to the Promised Land of Israel before the end of this world as we know it). I am not a Protestant or a "Jew for Jesus" and certainly not a member of the Roman Catholic Cult. I am a baptized member of the Sabbath-keeping Church of God (who believe the plain truth of the Bible that Herbert W. Armstrong taught).
It grieves me when I'm on various Jewish sites, pro-Israel sites, and some vainly try and pigeonhole my calls for Jews to follow Judaism to the Jewish Homeland to become better Jews and falsely accuse me of only "wanting Jews to die so Jesus can return." Nothing could be further from the truth! (Away with stereotypes! Are all Jews rich or liberal?). I share what Judaism teaches about aliyah (ascent, emigration to Eretz Yisrael - the Land of Israel). Did the Ramban want Jews to return to Zion and die so Jesus could return? Preposterous, eh? Indeed.
I also do not fall for the rapture myth, as some allege, striving to substantiate their theories as to why I have such a great love for Jews and Israel, failing to grasp that I truly believe in the Israelite origins of the West, especially the revelation of Joseph as the Anglo-Saxon peoples, as taught by Brit Am Israel and others, and am convinced the Jews are the ethnic brethren of British-Israelites (contrary to those groups who reject the Jews as illegitimate), and that the Land of Israel is also our ancient and future inheritance. This precious knowledge and love for klal Yisrael (all Israel, collective 12 Tribes) is my God-given motivation and why I yearn to return to Zion and stay attached to it while in exile (due to an unjust deportation I've suffered for highlighting the plight of the Temple Mount under illegal Nazi-Muslim occupation).
The Bible clearly teaches, recognized by both Jews and Christians, that the Jews would again be living in the Promised Land of Israel in preparation for the coming of King Messiah. Judaism teaches it "hastens the day of redemption" and Christians say "amen." We can agree on that point and permit time to tell who fulfills the prophecies completely, as all will be revealed and Israel and Judah will be reunited, reconciled, and Jerusalem saved from Gentile occupation. The Jews also believe that Elijah will herald the coming of the King to fulfill the Prophets and teach Torah, and Christians know the chief spokesman between the Two Witnesses will announce - in the spirit of Elijah (who is dead and buried) - the Kingdom of God.
I want Jews to return to Eretz Yisrael because it is loving obedience to God, as well as Israel's future construction of the Third Temple, the Temple of God (not just of the Jews as some slander) even though Israel must be warned not to trust Europe's lying guarantees of peace and security or their imminent Antiochus Epiphanes who will betray Israel and occupy Jerusalem and pollute the Temple of God, if they're not careful to hear and heed the Prophets.
Despite unwarranted hatred from some hypocritical Jews who treat all Christians shamefully, failing to distinguish between those who are honest friends of Jews and Israel and those who aren't, I want to express unconditional love to help save Jews from physical and spiritual harm. I want Jews to live and prosper and love and obey God and be blessed rather than to continue to suffer escalating divine punishments for sin that will only intensify (Dan. 9:11). I hope to help avert another holocaust, one that will target the British-Israelites (the "Lost Ten Tribes") and Jews, ignited by the German-dominated EU under Roman Catholic influence.
May all 12 Tribes of Israel remember our Hebrew roots and biblical responsibilities, turn from our national idolatry and immorality (2 Chron. 7:14), and be restored to world power and prosperity and ascend even greater heights of glory as a truly United Kingdom, One Nation Under God.

by Ezra HaLevi
Israel’s State Comptroller has accused Prime Minister Ehud Olmert of cronyism – saying he was responsible for improper appointments as Minister of Industry and Trade during the Sharon regime.
***********************************
It definitely appears Ehud Olmert dispensed bribes to many political prostitutes, but of greater concern should be what his EU pimp, the German-Jesuits, have offered him to do their dirty work in Israel (through the corrupt-to-the-core Kadima whore house).
Let an investigation uncover how the Vatican enticed Olmert to sell out Jerusalem and prepare the way for Shimon Peres to seal Israel's fate and sign away Mount Zion and the Temple Mount in Jewish blood.

Black to Africa (Facing the crisis in Black America)
What is wrong with Black America? The African-American community is not only facing a crisis, they are in a crisis and too many don't seem to care and get angry whenever someone dares to disturb their complacency with calls for necessary change; Whenever someone expects more of them than less than mediocre performance or attitude, and encourages them to stop just moseying along to nowhere and develop a proper sense of direction, mission and purpose with R-E-S-P-E-C-T.
The United States as a whole suffers from a crisis in character (as we drift further away from our biblical moorings, having lost sight of the Scriptural shore and are about to enter into the EU Storm that will capsize all and leave few survivors), but this is especially evident and most glaring among the Black community with its undeniable soaring rates of HIV/AIDS, illegitimate children, drug and alcohol abuse, and shameless dependence on others to do for them what they can do for themselves.
This CRISIS will not just blow over, will not just go away by itself, will not somehow get better by itself but can only get worse, unless the necessary drastic actions are taken. You must save yourselves!
This is merely a serious springboard of ideas to excite the imagination of possibilities, honestly seeking solutions, working together to consider options - a start in the right direction. This rough draft represents a call for men and women of goodwill to bless Black America, so help us God.
Within Diversity Demands: Segregate Now! I call for voluntary repatriation of Blacks to Africa. Some counter that, “Asking Blacks to volunteer to return to Africa will never happen.”
Other than those leaders with a God-given pioneer spirit, excited about the very real opportunities Africa can offer, voluntary ethnic repatriation, with attractive economic incentives, can begin the end of the unnatural state we find today within the Babylon of "multiculturalism" - a confused state that is destined to self-destruct into Balkanization, if such preventive measures aren't taken to avert it.
”Africans are risking death to cross over into white countries in Europe because Africa is a slum.”
Too much of Africa is a slum, but not all of it. Before the accursed liberals destroyed the relatively peaceful and prosperous South Africa under white management, many were risking it all to move into the besieged country condemned by useful idiots (for the ANC/Communists). Apartheid didn't stop all those Black Africans seeking to move to South Africa!
The United States could help establish MODEL COMMUNITIES in Africa, create African-American villages, that hopefully the Africans would copy, with help from repatriated Black Americans: American pioneers with a purpose.
Look at our inner city wastelands. Busloads of politicians should be forced to take a tour of our inner cities. American tax-payers should demand our politicians endure a tour of the innumerable housing projects, and acknowledge that such wanton liberalism is corrupt to the core and self-defeating. There's got to be a better way: BLACK TO AFRICA.
Let all the Black organizations, secular and religious, help prepare such MODEL COMMUNITIES (not proven failed projects) - where's Oprah when you need her? - by establishing businesses to hire the repatriated. With many American companies outsourcing, let them be encouraged to outsource to such African-American communities to be established in Africa: WORKING MODEL COMMUNITIES exercising proper peer pressure to work and succeed and respect themselves, their neighbors, community and country. If some demand a village to help raise a child, then let the village help raise productive adults!
Let a proper BTA "village council" be formed to brainstorm and offer constructive ideas and goals, primarily composed of Black leaders and corporate sponsors. Let the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Clarence Thomas, Thomas Sowell, Clarence Paige, Bill Cosby, Barack Obama and others who love their people come forward and rise to the occasion. (If not now, when?) Let major companies enlist to assist the noble efforts of those leading the way.
Once the BLACK TO AFRICA movement gets underway, and its various sponsored "villages" prove a success story, others will be motivated to follow suit. Black America has everything to gain and nothing to lose but the shackles of self-destruction. God Bless America! God Bless Africa!

TEACHING DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL IN THE MAINSTREAM SCHOOLS OF THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY
TEACHING DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL IN THE MAINSTREAM SCHOOLS OF THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY
by: David Bedein, Bureau Chief, Israel Resource News Agency, Beit Agron International Press Center, Jerusalem, Israel, www.ibtn.co.il
As this is being written, in late August 2006, news wires around the world are running a story that Machmud Abbas, head of the Palestinian Authority, has launched a new peace initiative with Israel.
However, the new school books that this same Machmud Abbas has now introduced in the Palestinian Authority school system - run independently of Hamas - represent a curriculum that prepares a new generation of Palestinians to destroy Israel.
Following fervent support given to Hizbullah's total war on Israel by Abbas and the Palestinian Authority this summer, this raises the question as to whether the new school year in the Palestinian Authority, opening next week, will simply ad fuel to the fire of the Palestinian Authority's war against Israel, instead of a new peace initiative with the Jewish State.
Since these PA school books have also been incorporated in the Arab schools in Jerusalem, which raises cause for further concern, while a movement is afoot in the Israeli Arab schools in the rest of Israel to adopt the PA curriculum in their schools.
Indeed, the latest study of PA textbooks, www.intelligence.org.il/eng/default.htm, commisioned by the Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center in Herzelia, www.intelligence.org.il, an agency that had been consistently supportive of the Oslo Peace Process, speaks for itself..
Here are some pearls of wisdom that Palestinian children will learn from the new school books of the Palestinian Authority this year:
1. Israel does not appear on any maps of the world in the new PA texbooks, while maps of Israel replace the name Israel with Palestine in all of the new Palestinian Authority school books.
(p. 4) Tarikh al-Hadarat al-Qadima (History of Ancient Civilizations), 5th grade textbook,
p. 53. Al-Iqstisad al-Manzili (Home Economy), 10th grade textbook, p. 42, Tarikh al-'Alam al-Hadith wal-Mu'asir (History of the New Modern World) 10th grade textbook, p. 86.
2. The new Palestinian School Books "annex" sites in Israel to Palestine:
"Haifa is a Palestinian seaport", (p. 7) (Lughatuna al-Jamila (Our Beautiful Language) Vol. 2, 5th grade textbook, p. 86). "Galilee, Nazareth and Beit She'an are regions in Palestine" (p. 7) (Al-Iqtisad al-Manzili (Home Economy), 10th grade textbook, pp. 36-37).
3. The new Palestinian school books mention Israel only as an enemy, in reference to "occupation of lands" in 1948 and 1967.
Ex: "there is no doubt that the Israeli occupation has a negative impact on [Palestinian] agriculture and its export"
(p. 8) (Lughatuna al-Jamila (Our Beautiful Language) Vol. 1, 10th grade textbook, p. 102).
4. The new Palestinian school books present Zionism only as an enemy movement.
a. "the Palestinian people are under an oppressive siege, limiting their movement and way of life" ( p. 9) (Al-Tarbiyah al-Islamiyyah (Islamic Education), Vol. 1, 5th grade textbook, p. 49).
b. Accusation against settlements [from 1948!] of damaging water sources "the influence of settlement on sources of water in Palestine" (p. 9) (Ulum al-Sihha wal-B'ia (Health and Environmental
Sciences), 10th grade textbook, p. 122)
c. "the Palestinian family has problems...stemming from the occupation...it loses father, mother or son to death or imprisonment...endures the difficulties of life... (p. 11) (Al-Tarbiyah al-Wataniyya (National Education), 5th grade textbook, p. 23)
5. The new Palestinian School Books make the false claim that an "extremist Zionist" set fire to the Al-Aqsa Mosque in 1969
(p. 12) (Tarikh al'Alam al-Hadith wal-Mu'asir (History of the new Modern World), 10th grade textbook, p. 106) when it was really a mentally unstable fundamentalist Christian Australian
6. The new Palestinian School Books teach that the 1st Zionist Congress at Basel fostered the Zionist State based on a secret decision of what came came to be known as the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion".
(p. 13) (Tarikh al-'Alam al-Hadith wal Mu-'asir (History of the News Modern World), 10th grade textbook, pp. 60-64).
7. The new Palestinian School books teach that the only ancient inhabitants of Israel were Arabs, ignoring any ancient Jewish presence.
"Concentrated...in the land of Al-Sham {Greater Syria}...was the culture of the Canaanite and Aramaic peoples who migrated there from the Arab peninsula" (p.14-15) (Tarikh al-Hadarat al-Qadima (History of Ancient Civilizations), 5th grade textbook, Foreward).
8. The new Palestinian school books teach that Palestinians must use war and violence to accomplish their goals, especially martyrdom.
(p.18) The heroic mother, "who incessantly presents one sacrifice [fida'] after
another" (Lughatuna al-Jamila (Our Beautiful Language), Vol 2, 5th grade textbook, p. 31).
The warrior goes to war faced with one of the good options: victory or martyrdom in battle for the sake of Allah. (Ibid. Vol. 1, 5th grade textbook, p. 70).
(p.19) "Allah designated the people of this land (Al-Sham and Palestine) to an important task: they must stand on the forefront of the Muslim campaign against their enemies, and only if they fulfill their duy to their religion, nation, and land will they be rewarded as stated in the scriptures." (Al-Tarbiya al-Islamiyyah (Islamic Education), Vol 2, 10th grade textbook, p. 50).
9. The new Palestinian school books feature children with names such as Jihad (holy war) and Nidal (struggle).
(p.22) (Tarikh al-Hadarat al-Qadima (History of Ancient Civilizations), 5th grade textbook, p.6).
10. The new Palestinian school books stress the importance of "return" of refugees to all of Palestine - by violence.
(p. 22) "The wrong must be made right by returning them to their homes: we returned to the homeland after a long absence". (Lughatuna al-Jamila (Our Beautiful Language), Vol 2, 5th grade textbook, p. 43).
"Returning to the homes, the plains and the mountains, under the banners of glory, jihad [holy war] and struggle" (Lughatuna al-Jamila (Our Beautiful Language), Vol 1, 5th grade textbook, p.88).

HELP DANNY AND ITZIK HALAMISH
HELP DANNY AND ITZIK HALAMISH
Dear Friends,
Many things have changed since the war in Lebanon. But one thing has not yet changed in our country: the legal persecution of loyal Jews whose only crime is wanting to live in the Land of Israel and trying to defend themselves when attacked by Arabs.
We call upon all of you to read the Kafkaesque story of Danny and Itzik Halamish, two brothers who live in Maaleh Rehavam (a small community of 30 residents, in the Judean desert not far from Tekoa) . Danny and Itzik are dear personal friends of ours and we will do all we can to prevent them from going to jail. Itzik and Danny are two out of 5 sons of the Halamish family. The Halamish parents were among the founders of the community of Ofra. They have raised 5 wonderful sons , all proud and loyal Jews. Four of them decided to follow in the footsteps of their parents and be the second generation of Halamishes that would found a new community in the land of Israel. Together with friends, the Halamish boys founded Maaleh Rehavam 4 years ago.
Itzik is 27 years old and works as a builder of homes and as a carpenter. Women in Green leaders and members met Itzik in Kfar Yam,Gush Katif, where he spent the last few months helping to build tent cities for those outsiders who came to support GK. They have stayed in close contact since then. Danny is 36 years old, married to Limor and they have a one year old baby girl, Naama.
If we do not intervene, those 2 wonderful Jews might end up in jail for months- accused and found guilty of things they never did. We must help them gather the funds to cover the expenses for an appeal. Please help them by:
1) taking the few minutes necessary to read the story
2) forward the story to all of your different lists-
3) if you can, help them financially. For details as to how to send tax
deductible donations, see at the end of the story.
With love from Israel,
Ruth and Nadia Matar,
Women in Green

Danny and Itzik Halamish trial summary
Background:
A number of incidents have occurred in Gush Etzion in which Jews have been attacked by, or with the aid of, Arab shepherds: Dov Driben was murdered by Arab shepherds; two children, Kobi Mandel and Yossi Ashram, were murdered in the Haritun Cave by Arab shepherds; prior to the murderous attack on the settlement of Carmei Zur, Arab shepherds observed the settlement for 30 days and constructed a model of it on a sand table in an orchard near the settlement; About two months ago, Arab shepherds stabbed a Jewish couple near a spring close to the settlement of Bat Ayin. The IDF regards the shepherds as a threat, and consequently refers to them as such in briefings given to guards, and also drives them away from the proximity of Jewish settlements. At the beginning of 2004 Arab shepherds began approaching the region of Ma'aleh Rehavam and Sdeh Bar. The IDF, in cooperation with the security officer of Sdeh Bar, drove them off on several occasions.
The Incident:
On February 21, 2004, Arab shepherds again approached the settlement of Ma'aleh Rehavam, in a place that was not the usual one for grazing. The Sdeh Bar Security Officer, Baruch Feldbaum, attempted unsuccessfully to drive them away. Feldbaum requested help from Ma'aleh Rehavam. Two members of the Ma'aleh Rehavam Fast Response Team, Danny and Itzik Halamish, joined him and drove with him to the place, to which in the meantime additional Arab shepherds had arrived. The Arabs refused to leave the place. More and more Arabs arrived, and their level of hostility increased as their numbers grew. When there were about 20 Arabs near the Jews, with even more Arabs approaching, the Arabs close to the Jews threatened them with stones and sticks, and began surrounding Danny and Itzik. Baruch was standing a few dozen yards further back. At this stage Itzik fired a single warning shot in the air from his pistol, but this had no effect. Baruch Feldbaum fired a few shots aimed at the ground, and thus enabled Danny and Itzik to withdraw. The Jews retreated and drove away from the place. One Arab received a superficial wound from ricochets of stones. The Arabs contacted the police and filed a complaint about being attacked.
The Treatment of the Complaint:
The police arrested Baruch, Danny and Itzik. They were interrogated for three days using a variety of methods, that included lies, threats, and false accusations. (The police attempted to accuse them of the murder of an Arab who had been in the region of the Arab village of Tekoa.) The Jews maintained that the Arabs had in fact attacked them, but the police ignored this claim and refused to check it out. The police have impounded the Jews’ weapons in order to examine them. The weapons were taken from them and were not returned, but neither were they examined. Near the duty officer's desk in the Etzion police station, there was attached to the wall a notice issued by the police general staff stating that the residents of the Jewish hill settlements are problematic and that one of the aims of the police in 2004 was to submit 20 charges against them. During the interrogation the chief interrogator told Baruch that the police intended to submit a charge sheet against the Jews regardless of the results of the interrogation. The Jews were charged with assault and injury under aggravating circumstances, as well as acts of recklessness and negligence. The Arabs were not summonsed for an interrogation or even a clarification, and the police admitted in court that they did not intend to interrogate the Arabs at all.
The Judicial Process:
According to the Hebrew judicial process as laid down in the Bible, the function of the judge is to investigate and question and thus arrive at the truth. The State of Israel does not use the Hebrew judicial process but employs instead the adversary legal system, which is based on the method of rivalry. In this method the prosecution attacks and the accused defends himself. The judge does not interfere in the discussion but gives a ruling based only on the material presented to him. This method originated in Europe and is based on the principle of a duel between knights. (Each party hires a knight to fight on his behalf and the judge decides the winner.) In this method the personal opinion of the judge can be decisive regarding the result of the trial. In Britain and the US this method is balanced by means of a jury a group of ordinary people (not lawyers) whose function is to determine if the accused is guilty or not. This method prevents a person being found guilty or innocent, as the case may be, in circumstances that an ordinary person would consider unreasonable. In Israel there is no jury and the judge gives a ruling as he sees fit. In Israel the judges are appointed by other judges, and cannot be dismissed. A judge approaching retirement or who otherwise does not expect a promotion is not under any form of supervision or criticism.
The Trial:
The prosecution claimed that the Jews came to the place with the intention of harming the Arabs, and that the Arabs were grazing their flocks innocently. The prosecution claimed that the IDF does not regards the shepherds as a threat, even though the prosecution witness from the regional brigade HQ gave evidence to the contrary. Four Arab prosecution witnesses gave contradictory evidence: their evidence conflicted with their statements in the police station on the day of the incident; and their evidence contradicted that of each other, regarding important details, such as who fired, and whether the shots were fired before or after the arguments between the Jews and the Arabs. The Arabs gave evidence, and the prosecution claimed, that an Arab child aged 4 was injured in his head from the shots fired. The army paramedic who accompanied the soldiers who met the Arabs making the complaint, gave evidence that he was shown an Arab child aged 8 with no injuries. The defense argued that it was the Security Officer's function to look after the security of the settlers and to drive off the Arabs from places near the residential areas, and that Danny and Itzik acted under the orders of the Security Officer. Even if Baruch acted in excess of his authority, they were still supposed to conform with his instructions. The defense claimed that the Arabs were the attackers, and that the Jews acted in self defense.
The Court Ruling:
The accused were found guilty of all the charges. All their arguments were rejected. The conviction was based on two principles: Firstly, the judge ruled that the evidence of the Arabs was reliable, in contrast to the evidence of the Jews that was not, because the Arabs gave evidence without contradictions while the Jews contradicted themselves. The judge did not indicate what were the contradictions in the evidence of the Jews, and ignored the obvious contradictions in the evidence of the Arabs, including those indicated specifically by the defense. Secondly, the judge ruled that the situation in which the Jews were surrounded by dozens of Arabs armed with stones and sticks, with additional Arabs approaching, was not dangerous, nor was there any reason to think that it was dangerous. The judge ignored the arguments of the defense mentioned here, as well as additional arguments. It should also be mentioned that during the hearings regarding extension of the period of detention, even before the Jews had made any statement, the evidence was examined by Justice of the Peace Shimoni and District Judge Ravid. Both judges wrote that the evidence indicated that the claim of self defense put forward by the defense could not be rejected out of hand. The Security Officer, Baruch, was sentenced to one year's imprisonment, that was later reduced to six months after two appeals. Danny and Itzik are likely to receive a similar sentence. This is not an exceptional case. Settlers are being brought to trial in a systematic way. For example, ten years ago an Arab terrorist ran down Jewish hitch-hikers at the Giva Tzarfatit junction in Jerusalem. The terrorist was shot and killed by several people who were present at the time. The police arrested one of the Jews who had shot the terrorist and confiscated his pistol. The police issued a press statement saying that the investigation had indicated that this was a road accident and not a terrorist attack. On the very same day an Arab terrorist organization announced that they were responsible for the attack, and the police were forced to rescind their statement. The person who shot the Arab terrorist received a commendation from the IDF, but the police refused to return his gun to him. Danny and Itzik were part of the Rapid Response Team of Ma'aleh Rehavam, but they are now not permitted to possess a gun. The defense of their settlement has been gravely harmed as a result of this incident. This is not the only case in which the police have damaged the security of the settlers.
Danny and Itzik Halamish intend to appeal against their conviction. The appeal will cost a lot of money (tens of thousands of dollars). If you wish to help, you can send a contribution to HONENU.

Dear Friends,
Many things have changed since the war in Lebanon. But one thing has not yet changed in our country: the legal persecution of loyal Jews whose only crime is wanting to live in the Land of Israel and trying to defend themselves when attacked by Arabs.
We call upon all of you to read the Kafkaesque story of Danny and Itzik Halamish, two brothers who live in Maaleh Rehavam (a small community of 30 residents, in the Judean desert not far from Tekoa) . Danny and Itzik are dear personal friends of ours and we will do all we can to prevent them from going to jail. Itzik and Danny are two out of 5 sons of the Halamish family. The Halamish parents were among the founders of the community of Ofra. They have raised 5 wonderful sons , all proud and loyal Jews. Four of them decided to follow in the footsteps of their parents and be the second generation of Halamishes that would found a new community in the land of Israel. Together with friends, the Halamish boys founded Maaleh Rehavam 4 years ago.
Itzik is 27 years old and works as a builder of homes and as a carpenter. Women in Green leaders and members met Itzik in Kfar Yam,Gush Katif, where he spent the last few months helping to build tent cities for those outsiders who came to support GK. They have stayed in close contact since then. Danny is 36 years old, married to Limor and they have a one year old baby girl, Naama.
If we do not intervene, those 2 wonderful Jews might end up in jail for months- accused and found guilty of things they never did. We must help them gather the funds to cover the expenses for an appeal. Please help them by:
1) taking the few minutes necessary to read the story
2) forward the story to all of your different lists-
3) if you can, help them financially. For details as to how to send tax
deductible donations, see at the end of the story.

Danny and Itzik Halamish trial summary
Background:
A number of incidents have occurred in Gush Etzion in which Jews have been attacked by, or with the aid of, Arab shepherds: Dov Driben was murdered by Arab shepherds; two children, Kobi Mandel and Yossi Ashram, were murdered in the Haritun Cave by Arab shepherds; prior to the murderous attack on the settlement of Carmei Zur, Arab shepherds observed the settlement for 30 days and constructed a model of it on a sand table in an orchard near the settlement; About two months ago, Arab shepherds stabbed a Jewish couple near a spring close to the settlement of Bat Ayin. The IDF regards the shepherds as a threat, and consequently refers to them as such in briefings given to guards, and also drives them away from the proximity of Jewish settlements. At the beginning of 2004 Arab shepherds began approaching the region of Ma'aleh Rehavam and Sdeh Bar. The IDF, in cooperation with the security officer of Sdeh Bar, drove them off on several occasions.
The Incident:
On February 21, 2004, Arab shepherds again approached the settlement of Ma'aleh Rehavam, in a place that was not the usual one for grazing. The Sdeh Bar Security Officer, Baruch Feldbaum, attempted unsuccessfully to drive them away. Feldbaum requested help from Ma'aleh Rehavam. Two members of the Ma'aleh Rehavam Fast Response Team, Danny and Itzik Halamish, joined him and drove with him to the place, to which in the meantime additional Arab shepherds had arrived. The Arabs refused to leave the place. More and more Arabs arrived, and their level of hostility increased as their numbers grew. When there were about 20 Arabs near the Jews, with even more Arabs approaching, the Arabs close to the Jews threatened them with stones and sticks, and began surrounding Danny and Itzik. Baruch was standing a few dozen yards further back. At this stage Itzik fired a single warning shot in the air from his pistol, but this had no effect. Baruch Feldbaum fired a few shots aimed at the ground, and thus enabled Danny and Itzik to withdraw. The Jews retreated and drove away from the place. One Arab received a superficial wound from ricochets of stones. The Arabs contacted the police and filed a complaint about being attacked.
The Treatment of the Complaint:
The police arrested Baruch, Danny and Itzik. They were interrogated for three days using a variety of methods, that included lies, threats, and false accusations. (The police attempted to accuse them of the murder of an Arab who had been in the region of the Arab village of Tekoa.) The Jews maintained that the Arabs had in fact attacked them, but the police ignored this claim and refused to check it out. The police have impounded the Jews’ weapons in order to examine them. The weapons were taken from them and were not returned, but neither were they examined. Near the duty officer's desk in the Etzion police station, there was attached to the wall a notice issued by the police general staff stating that the residents of the Jewish hill settlements are problematic and that one of the aims of the police in 2004 was to submit 20 charges against them. During the interrogation the chief interrogator told Baruch that the police intended to submit a charge sheet against the Jews regardless of the results of the interrogation. The Jews were charged with assault and injury under aggravating circumstances, as well as acts of recklessness and negligence. The Arabs were not summonsed for an interrogation or even a clarification, and the police admitted in court that they did not intend to interrogate the Arabs at all.
The Judicial Process:
According to the Hebrew judicial process as laid down in the Bible, the function of the judge is to investigate and question and thus arrive at the truth. The State of Israel does not use the Hebrew judicial process but employs instead the adversary legal system, which is based on the method of rivalry. In this method the prosecution attacks and the accused defends himself. The judge does not interfere in the discussion but gives a ruling based only on the material presented to him. This method originated in Europe and is based on the principle of a duel between knights. (Each party hires a knight to fight on his behalf and the judge decides the winner.) In this method the personal opinion of the judge can be decisive regarding the result of the trial. In Britain and the US this method is balanced by means of a jury a group of ordinary people (not lawyers) whose function is to determine if the accused is guilty or not. This method prevents a person being found guilty or innocent, as the case may be, in circumstances that an ordinary person would consider unreasonable. In Israel there is no jury and the judge gives a ruling as he sees fit. In Israel the judges are appointed by other judges, and cannot be dismissed. A judge approaching retirement or who otherwise does not expect a promotion is not under any form of supervision or criticism.
The Trial:
The prosecution claimed that the Jews came to the place with the intention of harming the Arabs, and that the Arabs were grazing their flocks innocently. The prosecution claimed that the IDF does not regards the shepherds as a threat, even though the prosecution witness from the regional brigade HQ gave evidence to the contrary. Four Arab prosecution witnesses gave contradictory evidence: their evidence conflicted with their statements in the police station on the day of the incident; and their evidence contradicted that of each other, regarding important details, such as who fired, and whether the shots were fired before or after the arguments between the Jews and the Arabs. The Arabs gave evidence, and the prosecution claimed, that an Arab child aged 4 was injured in his head from the shots fired. The army paramedic who accompanied the soldiers who met the Arabs making the complaint, gave evidence that he was shown an Arab child aged 8 with no injuries. The defense argued that it was the Security Officer's function to look after the security of the settlers and to drive off the Arabs from places near the residential areas, and that Danny and Itzik acted under the orders of the Security Officer. Even if Baruch acted in excess of his authority, they were still supposed to conform with his instructions. The defense claimed that the Arabs were the attackers, and that the Jews acted in self defense.
The Court Ruling:
The accused were found guilty of all the charges. All their arguments were rejected. The conviction was based on two principles: Firstly, the judge ruled that the evidence of the Arabs was reliable, in contrast to the evidence of the Jews that was not, because the Arabs gave evidence without contradictions while the Jews contradicted themselves. The judge did not indicate what were the contradictions in the evidence of the Jews, and ignored the obvious contradictions in the evidence of the Arabs, including those indicated specifically by the defense. Secondly, the judge ruled that the situation in which the Jews were surrounded by dozens of Arabs armed with stones and sticks, with additional Arabs approaching, was not dangerous, nor was there any reason to think that it was dangerous. The judge ignored the arguments of the defense mentioned here, as well as additional arguments. It should also be mentioned that during the hearings regarding extension of the period of detention, even before the Jews had made any statement, the evidence was examined by Justice of the Peace Shimoni and District Judge Ravid.

Shimon Peres plots with Rome to finish off Israeli sovereignty over Jerusalem
The defeatist Kadima party of LEFTIST criminals, bought and paid for by foreigners, is the furthest thing from balance and horribly reflects this harsh reality: Israeli society is mentally and spiritually unbalanced and about to fall under EUROPEAN OCCUPATION, having been sold out by the likes of Shimon Peres, Ariel Sharon, Yossi Beilin and other traitors.
The UNJews, the secular, are so out of touch with reality, with God, Torah and the Land and People of Israel, they're in denial they're slitting their own throat and undermining the sovereignty of Israel by wheeling and dealing with terrorists and Euro-Nazis, who are pretending to make peace while preparing for war. Such Hellenists will find out too late when the European Antiochus Epiphanes reveals what a brute beast, not a peacemaker, he is, and physically detaches many from the Land they hate and despise and people they hold in contempt.
Even as Yitzhak Rabin's part in the staged assassination plot to discredit the Right backfired, taking his life in the "peace process," so the bloody vulture Shimon Peres and criminal company's treachery will find themselves unable to escape the tsunami of the unholy See that will release its EU forces upon the Holy Land and Holy City.
Excerpt from Did Rabin Know? by Uzi Benziman, a senior columnist at the Israeli newspaper, Haaretz:
"Did Rabin himself sanction Avishai Raviv's employment as a Shin Bet informer? To what extent was the prime minister aware of the double agent's incitement against him?
The key sentence in the secret appendix is: "His (Raviv's) incitement, especially where it involved physical acts of violence against Arabs, and where it drew the public's attention to the existence of violent and extremist political groups, was indirectly damaging to well-known legal political groups. His operators could not have overlooked this fact." What this means is that Raviv's acts of extremist incitement affected the public perception of the entire right-wing camp, including the Likud, and also furnished fuel for the left-wing counterattack before Rabin's murder.
This conclusion leads one to ask a question that is so horrific that it is in fact difficult to put down on paper. Was Yitzhak Rabin, who paid with his own life for the brave peace policy he pursued, a victim of his own actions? In the past, his close associates used to rail against the disdain with which he entertained their warnings of possible risks to his physical safety, but now a different question arises. Was he a party, knowingly or not, to Raviv's incitement activities? Did he continue to respond to incitement from the right even when he knew that it was stoked, or at least partially so, by the provocative acts of undercover agent Avishai Raviv? And if this is the case, did Rabin do so because it gave him a casus belli to flay his political adversaries?"
The truth will prevail. THE LEFT MURDERED YITZHAK RABIN AND BLAMED THE RIGHT AND NOW IT'S COMING BACK TO HAUNT THEM.
Shimon Peres Came to Power Over Rabin's Dead Body and now aims to return to finish off Israel, collaborating with Germany and the Jesuits, the bloody Vatican, against the Temple Mount, Mt. Zion, and Jerusalem.

Diversity Demands: Segregate Now!
The more white Israelite people try to ignore the issues of race, the more race will get in our face (Dan. 9:11). It is in the best interests of every race to SEGREGATE NOW.
Ideally, Blacks (for example) would have enough self-esteem to voluntarily return to Africa - their ROOTS - and build up there with all the know-how they've received (or were offered) in the United States - the biblical inheritance of Joseph.
To build upon comments by the Mayor of New Orleans, see Chocolate Continent Awaits the Great Black Return!
However, this issue is not just about black and white. The illegal influx of Mexicans must stop and immediately be reversed with their mass expulsion by this "land of laws."
May 1: Illegal Immigration Day Defused! - otherwise "Law, without force, is impotent" - Cicero.
This is not only about race, but ideally our white Jewish brethren (yes, they are white despite hateful lies about Jews being Khazars, contrary to the clear Scriptures and many biblical prophecies that state otherwise) should voluntarily follow Judaism to the Jewish Homeland, as Judaism requires, to become better Jews and have the unique opportunity to fulfill many more mitzvot (commandments) and be blessed.
Race matters whether folks want to acknowledge it or remain in denial, until it's too late.

Gush Katif - Like You've Never Seen it Before!
I posted this around the internet last year. It's well worth a review and prayerful consideration, especially in light of all that has happened since the shameful and illegal expulsion of productive Jews from their biblical homes and property and consequent terrorist activities directed from the now Arab occupied areas of destroyed Jewish communities.
May God soon liberate and restore the Land of Israel to the People of Israel! May every Israelite and Jew confess and forsake our personal and national sins to hasten that glorious day and prevent further suffering, loss of precious life and beloved land (2 Chron. 7:14, Dan. 9:11, Malachi 4:4).
****************************************************
The following photos and words are shared with us from Israeli Yuval Zaliouk (who is from Haifa but also has a home near Toledo, Ohio).
See for yourself how the Israelis, by the grace of God, have made the desert blossom as a rose, and how Sharon and Bush coldheartedly intend on uprooting such productive Israeli citizens and turning their labors of love, their blood, sweat and tears over to their sworn enemies! It's an outrage that must be stopped, so help us God!
Imagine - God forbid - Bush blathering we can no longer prevent illegal aliens from taking over the Southwest, so in order to have "peace" with Mexico, we must expel the law-abiding and productive Americans living there and surrender their homes and property and businesses to Mexicans before they start terrorizing the rest of the United States to create their new homeland called Atzlan. After all, we seized those territories with superior force and must now return them to right an alleged wrong. Don't be surprised if the madness goes that far, as part of the curse we're suffering for disobedience to our Great Creator God (Deut. 28:43, Dan. 9:11).
David Ben-Ariel
From Yuval Zaliouk:
Dear friends,
The biggest outrage of all is the flippant arrogance of all those in Israel who support the eviction and deportation of 8000 fellow citizens from Gush Katif, without ever having set foot in Gush Katif to see for themselves the haven that has been created there.
Sitting in Israel's center, such as Ramat Aviv, Tel Aviv, or in the comfort of other countries, they have the audacity, chutzpa, nay, malice, to determine the fate of the most dedicated modern-time vanguards Israel has produced in recent times.
I had the greatest privilege of visiting Gush Katif last month. I was honored to meet the diligent, tenacious, dedicated, ingenious and courageous people who live there. Every Israeli, every Jew, and all those who seek justice, Jewish or not, must be deeply proud and grateful for what these incredible people have created.
For all of you, my readers, I posted the photos I took during my visit. You will find them in:
http://yz.smugmug.com/gallery/551885
What you will see is the wonderful hospitable family of Nissim and Nurit in Ganei Tal where I stayed. Their children Stav and Nadav. Their unbelievable greenhouses in which they produce the best tomatoes ever, which they pack and ship to markets in Europe.
Pay attention to the paradise these people created in what used to be nothing but Saharan sand dunes. You will see the prosperous communities, the lawns, flowers and the trees miraculously grown by these industrious people.
You will also see the Memorial Day ceremony and exhibition in memory of those family members who were murdered by terrorist villains. Pay attention to the concrete blocks erected to protect the people from Arab snipers.
There are 5 folders with total of 68 photos to flip through.
I hope my photos will add a dimension to your considerations. The eviction of these excellent people must be opposed with all legitimate means. Their fate is our fate and their fall is a victory for terror. If you love Israel, if you believe in Zionism, raise your voice. Help stop the injustice...

Will You Stand Up For God?
Will You Stand Up For God?
By Richard Markland,
Saturday, August 19, 2006
What I am about to say is only for brethren in the various churches of God and it may be a bit on the controversial side for some, but I feel it needs to be said.
What is happening in my life at this time is not just about me. It's been difficult dealing with the death of my wife, family problems as a result of her death, the "criminal" justice system and the local media. I am writing this as a warning. Difficulties are ahead for brethren. The coming persecution will catch many of God's people by surprise because it will come out of nowhere.
In the last 16 months, I have come to understand what it means to experience grief as I have never understood it before. I've never experienced so many tears and the fragmenting of a family as a result of the death of my wife. I have come to see how family can take the anger of a death and turn it against another family member. I now understand what the words "criminal justice system" really means. I also understand more than ever how dishonest and unethical the mainstream media is on a local level and how easily your name can be splashed on the front of a local tabloid or your face shown on TV. I don't think many brethren realize how blind justice is and how you are presumed guilty until proven innocent.
Right now, I am drinking a cup of Cappuccino and eating a few Ritz crackers. If I were to write on hunger or famine, how affective would I be? If a mother in Ethiopia, however, is sitting at this moment with her dying child in her arms, and had the ability to write about it, what would she say compared to me? I would definitely be on the losing end of what true hunger is.
There are too many churches of God who feel they are doing the true work. Numerous articles have been written about the great commission and for some a radio or TV broadcast is available, but how affective are they? How many ministers who represent the various churches of God have actually experienced the subjects they address? Very few. Many have been ministers most of their lives and quite honestly live in a cocoon.
The subject of death is a perfect example of a void as deep as the Grand Canyon when it comes to understanding its impact. There are very few qualified writers from the various churches of God on this particular subject. There is Biblical knowledge, but how many writers on the subject are touching the nerve of readers by explaining the emotional toll that death takes on those who have to move on? I have not found a single article or booklet yet from the various churches of God that addresses the emotional aspect that death takes. Many booklets and articles are the same and I quite frankly have become bored with reading them. Why? Because the writers do not connect with what I am feeling. It doesn't matter if I have understood God's way of life for 40 years. I just don't see an in depth understanding by ministers from the various churches of God when it comes to dealing with a death now. Instead, I read familiar scriptures and the hope for the resurrection. Sorry, this won't cut it. More needs to be understood and said when it comes to this subject because there are grieving brethren who have never heard a single sermon or read one article on grief and the gut wrenching loneliness of losing a loved one. Most ministers are simply out of touch and only major in Biblical knowledge.
When it comes to addressing world problems, many ministers talk about how God's Kingdom is needed because of war, famine, disease, etc. How would an article be written if a minister could actually experience such events? Too many write or speak about problems, but do they really feel it? What if any one of us could sit next to someone injured in a war and listen to how a child, wife or family was killed? Writing of such an experience would bring tears. We would never look at war the same again.
How many brethren or ministers know what it is like to be wrongly accused to the point of being put in jail next to rapists, homosexuals, murderers, drug dealers and wife beaters? I don't wish it on anyone, but now that I know just how crooked and corrupt the judicial system is, I am no longer naive.
Sit in jail next to other criminals, and you know first hand what the world of crime is like by the conversations and experiences talked about. Have a "criminal" justice system parade you in front of a camera and a judge, and you realize just how crooked and corrupt the system is. The sound of the chains on your feet and the tightness of handcuffs on your wrists leaves an indelible mental imprint that is never forgotten. Have the media put your name in the paper, or put your face on TV because of false charges, and you will get a glimpse of the coming persecution. I now know. I didn't have a clue two years ago.
There is a persecution coming. Ministers and brethren know this, but they don't realize how much it will turn their personal worlds upside down. How many truly understand the lengths by which the media and the judicial system will go when it comes to accusing you of something?
Homeland Security measures at airports in Britain are now questioning the religious affiliation of travelers. It is only a matter of time until brethren in all the churches of God will be questioned for their religious beliefs and what church they attend. We will become a national security threat and either arrested or killed. It is only a matter of time.
The conclusion I have come to through all of this is that too many brethren and far too many ministers talk about how evil the world is, but they really don't know what it is like to experience the evil on a personal level.
Complacency and apathy are a part of the day and age in which we live. It is on a physical and spiritual level and far too many brethren and ministers only have head knowledge because of what they hear on TV or read in the paper or on the internet. Not all, but most.
This is another Sabbath. It's another day of attending services. What message will be given today? Will it be a Sabbath like so many others? I have come to the conclusion that church is more of a cocoon and spiritual babysitter than a place of spiritual answers to the daily struggles we experience. Church is not reality, but in many cases a break from the real world that has no correlation to what is a part of daily life. To criticize and point this out, will get a person in trouble. I know, I was kicked out of Living. How many brethren are willing to admit that a majority of the churches of God provide little relevance to what they are going through every day? Most ministers in the churches of God are simply naive and are not giving sermons that deal with reality. Sermons are boring because so many ministers lives are boring.
Someday, everyone reading this will be on their own. There won't be a church to attend. What if God doesn't answer the prayers of His people in the way they want them answered when arrested because of persecution? What if God will allow brethren to be tested to see how loyal they will be as handcuffs are tightened around their wrists as they are hauled off to jail? I honestly don't think many brethren and ministers will do very well. Why? Because a person's spiritual state now has everything to do with how the future will be handled. There is too little understanding of what the real world is like and it has resulted in spiritual complacency
The shooting of brethren in Wisconsin by Terry Ratzman was a real eye opener when it came to what ministers were willing to step forward and be counted. If a leader claims to be the one chosen by God, he should be the first to step forward and be willing to take the bullets by the media and those who shoot the arrows of accusation. Instead, reliance upon others within Living took place without personal accountability. This showed to me more than ever just how much we rely upon others instead of standing up for God's way when it is required. Ministers can talk the talk, but will they walk the walk?
No, I am not spiritually superior to others. No, I am not God's pet project nor do I feel I am being used to deliver a warning as God's messenger, but I do now have a better understanding of just how much Satan hates us and how he will do whatever he can to sift us through a meat grinder and destroy us.
I feel for the various churches of God who feel exclusive. Who you are spiritually doesn't matter to the justice system and media. You are just a number to them, but because certain ministers preach spiritual superiority because you belong to a certain group, ministers and brethren are in for one big surprise when they really see that a personal relationship with God overrides any particular association with a church or organization. It is going to be one gigantic spiritual awakening for those who have put God in a box and won't let Him out.

When Caesar Plays God: When the State Oversteps Its Bounds
By Richard Markland,
Saturday, August 19, 2006
What I am about to say is only for brethren in the various churches of God and it may be a bit on the controversial side for some, but I feel it needs to be said.
What is happening in my life at this time is not just about me. It's been difficult dealing with the death of my wife, family problems as a result of her death, the "criminal" justice system and the local media. I am writing this as a warning. Difficulties are ahead for brethren. The coming persecution will catch many of God's people by surprise because it will come out of nowhere.

ARIEL SHARON REMEMBERED
For your collection:
Kadima Wins, Israel Loses!
Kadima train to Auschwitz borders: Don't get on board!
Ariel Sharon: From Zionist to Traitor
Ariel Sharon: Return to the Temple Mount!
Paint Israel Black: Jews to Lose Jerusalem!
From Shmuel HaLevi of Radio Free Israel, former chairman of the Likud to reelect General Sharon before the great betrayal:
"I obtained two copies of Beyond Babylon: Europe's Rise and Fall and as a LIKUD Central Council Member attempted to deliver one to Mr. Sharon due to my excellent opinion of the book. He would not accept it.
Eventually I understood why. And I am sorry to say he is no longer capable of reconsidering his refusal."

I've NEVER claimed to be "Jewish" according to Judaism
From the Protest Warrior forum:
DBA you are not Jewish a jew is one who converted to Judaism or have a Jewish mother. you are not part of the Jewish community
What chutzpah for you to make such a proclamation. [Rolling Eyes] Who do you think you are - the British-ordained Chief Rabbinate?
I am Jewish in part, ethnically, tribally (through descent from the British and Scottish Royal Families who are scions of King David, the continuation of the Davidic dynasty) and a Joe (Anglo-Saxons are descendants of the tribe of Joseph). If you knew the Bible, you would understand these family matters.
I HAVE NEVER CLAIMED TO BE A JEW ACCORDING TO JUDAISM - a religion that yet wears the Mosaic veil and has yet to perceive the Pierced One is the Firstborn of Judah, the Son of God, the Suffering Servant, our King Messiah, Lord and Savior: Yeshua!
Biblically, a Jew is a descendant of JUDAH - not a follower or convert to the religion that any Tom, Dick or Harry can join.
Regardless, haven't you read the Third Temple is to become a House of Prayer for ALL Peoples? Haven't you read how it was the Gentile king Cyrus who had to inspire the comfortable Jews to get moving and return to Zion where they belonged and get busy and build the Temple?
Joseph Isn't Jewish!
The Plain Truth About the "Lost Ten Tribes" and Why You Need to Know!
And if you consider yourself a member of the JUDAISM community, you had better pack your bags and follow Judaism to the Jewish Homeland, just as Judaism demands.

Bigoted as the Bible commands
From Cook County Republican Party forum:
if any ARAB [Muslim] or Roman Catholic for that matter, read any of your bigotted material
Bigoted as the Bible commands. The plain truth is very offensive to those steeped in traditional error. The apostle Paul even had to write to the Corinthians, professing Christians, "Have I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth?"
I doubt any of them would consider you as a friend.
But then, it clearly appears to me that you don't know the Bible or history either or reject their testimony for your traditions. You can keep your doubts and I'll continue to have confidence in the Word and share it with one and all, even with tough love, as necessary. It's been said "a man convinced against his will, is of the same opinion still" and how some basically say, "Don't confuse me with the facts."
I informed my former Muslim boss of threats against his place (where I worked and lived - the Palm Hostel outside the Damascus Gate in Jerusalem) due to the fact that I am a member of the Temple Mount Faithful (living in the Arab heart of Jerusalem!) and he told me that people like to talk and to stay put and don't move (as I offered for his sake).
And I'll rest my case with Sheik Palazzi of Rome, Italia:

Dear Mr. Ben-Ariel,
I finished reading your valuable book and appreciated its contents. I was already informed about the Worldwide Church of God and already had the opportunity to read books by Rev. Armstrong and issues of "The Plain Truth". Although from a religious point of view I obviously disagree with some of the beliefs which your Church preaches, I surely agree with your analysis of German and Vatican in creating as a new European anti-God Empire. I would like that Europeans understand what is happening under their eyes. Thank you very much for the copies you sent me. I hope many people will have the opportunity to read your book and reflect upon its contents.

HATE CHARGES.
Yes, I can be charged with hating evil, with hating error, because of my great God-given love for the plain truth. It can also be clearly seen that I am not a member of the politically correct CULT that refuses to agree to disagree and wants the blood of those who refuse to submit to such fascism.
My many mature adult friends, of all races and religions, love me as I love them, despite our differences. They know I hate, as the Bible commands me to, various beliefs (not individuals). May you learn that this is possible among men and women of good will.

Strangers in our own land?
A revealing message from Israeli Yehoshua Friedman.
Rabbi Friedman and his wife Janet are among the original founders of Kochav HaShachar, a Jewish Pioneering Community in the Israelite Tribal Territory of Eretz Binyamin (Land of Benjamin), located in what is today known as the Shomron (Samaria).
22 Av, 5766 (August 17, 2005)
David,
I just thought of you being banned from Israel in juxtaposition with my son-in-law, Yehoyariv Maguri, who built a house for himself, his wife (my daughter) Esther and baby son Avraham on the hilltop of Givat Ronen near Har Bracha in the Shomron.
A couple of months ago he received an administrative order signed by Defense Minister Peretz banning him from entering the entire area of Judea and Samaria (with the exception of the city of Ma'ale Adumim).
Yehoyariv is a young man from a Yemenite family, a Cohen with an ancient lineage, who is connected to the bedrock of his being with the land of Israel, Jewish labor, growing things on, walking the land as a free Jew. For him the deep connection to the land transcends the bureaucratic statements of government officials about where the borders are to be and which foreign leader's boots we are meant to lick this week. The land, the people and Torah of Israel are eternal.
May G-d protect him, his family and all of us.
Yehoshua
Shalom Yehoshua,
Your son-in-law, Yehoyariv Maguri, sounds like a wonderful person to whom I can relate with his great love for God, klal Yisrael and THE LAND. Perhaps it's from being raised for the first 11 years of my life on a farm that I wholeheartedly love the land, and which is why I wanted to live throughout the Land on 8 different kibbutzim to truly get a feel for the Land, to see the sun, moon and stars from different regions of Eretz Yisrael that God has placed in their positions.
Your heartrending tale further shows how the secular government persecutes the righteous, even the Cohanim, and would restrict movement in the Jewish Homeland like the worst of the Gentiles.
May HaShem continue to bless your family, your son-in-law, Yehoyariv, your daughter Esther and baby grandson Avraham and bless me to soon meet them!
David
Psalm 102:11-17
11 My days are like a shadow that lengthens,
And I wither away like grass.
12 But You, O LORD, shall endure forever,
And the remembrance of Your name to all generations.
13 You will arise and have mercy on Zion;
For the time to favor her,
Yes, the set time, has come.
14 For Your servants take pleasure in her stones,
And show favor to her dust.
15 So the nations shall fear the name of the LORD,
And all the kings of the earth Your glory.
16 For the LORD shall build up Zion;
He shall appear in His glory.
17 He shall regard the prayer of the destitute,
And shall not despise their prayer.

Yes, the set time, has come.
14 For Your servants take pleasure in her stones,
And show favor to her dust.
15 So the nations shall fear the name of the LORD,
And all the kings of the earth Your glory.
16 For the LORD shall build up Zion;
He shall appear in His glory.
17 He shall regard the prayer of the destitute,
And shall not despise their prayer.

I spent last Shabbat in NITZAN, one of the refugee camps for GUSH KATIF/NORTHERN GAZA expellees. I really wanted to say something about that, but it was both too overwhelming and overshadowed by all the events in the North. After Shabbat at some point I got some more names of the fallen from the battle of BINT JBEIL and discovered that among them was Captain Amichai Merchavia of [the Jewish Pioneering Community of] ELI.
Amichai was an amazing son of amazing parents. I knew his parents from the period when [the Jewish Pioneering Community of] KOCHAV HASHACHAR was just getting off the ground. Moshe was the helping hand from the Amana settlement movement in setting up KOCHAV HASHACHAR. My wife and I were members of the original group.
Moshe Merchavia was a legend. He lived, ate and breathed KOCHAV HASHACHAR up to his eyeballs until it got itself organized. The Merchavias lived at the time in [the Jewish Pioneering Community of] OFRA and later moved to ELI to get it started. When Moshe was single in OFRA, he lived in a tent. When buildings with walls became available (refurbished Jordanian army camp buildings), Moshe stayed in the tent.
Let other people have comforts first. I never knew or never noticed before that Amichai Hy"d (may HaShem avenge his blood) had been the co-editor of a volume called Ein Ganim, about the Jewish history of the area around JENIN. It was dedicated to the memory of Shmuel Weiss Hy"d, a boy from [the Jewish Pioneering Community of] KIRYAT ARBA who fell in the battle of JENIN during the Defensive Shield operation.
The weekly Manhigut Yehudit [Jewish Leadership Movement] e-mail newsletter just came in this afternoon with a piece on Amichai which I am passing on:
A Chilling Answer
The following letter was written by Second Lieutenant Amichai Merchavia on the first day of the expulsion from GUSH KATIF. He never got an answer to his letter. The Chief of Staff [Dan Halutz] promptly dismissed him from his position. Only after the soldiers under Amichai's command intervened was he re-instated as officer of his unit. He continued to be an admirable officer and personal example for his soldiers. Amichai Merchavia was killed last week in the battle of BINT JBEL. Perhaps he finally got his answer...
10 Av, 5765
To Chief of Staff General Dan Halutz,
I am writing this letter at a time of deep pain and a feeling of lack of faith in the foundation of justice and morality that is behind the army's orders. Today's difficult pictures of thousands of Jewish brothers being driven out of their land and robbed of their property puts a moral stain on the I.D.F. uniform.
The decision to drive the Jews out of GUSH KATIF that passed in an immoral and undemocratic manner and was authorized by the Supreme Court with a wink of the eye to the government and police is hypocritical from its very foundation. Basic human rights were trampled in the implementation of the decision, effectively turning Israel into a corrupt dictatorship.
I am ashamed of the army and disappointed in the commanders who hide behind empty words of the obligation to carry out orders and army discipline while they are actually working toward a corrupt and immoral goal.
Second Lieutenant Amichai Merchavia
Dan Halutz and Amichai Merchavia are in totally different places. The concept of "morality" comes up again and again in the young commander's short letter. He approaches the Chief of Staff in the language of values. He points to the severe spiritual deterioration of the army and he expects the Chief of Staff to understand his language and to grapple with it.
Amichai lived his values and was willing to put his position and personal comfort on the line on matters of principle. He actively protested the destruction of [the Jewish Pioneering Community of] HAVAT GILAD and of AMONA. But he was naive. He didn't understand that the army heads no longer speak about values. Army language is strictly technological.
A year after Amichai wrote his letter, the technological thinking that has lost its moral foundation once again encounters reality. This time it faces an entirely different type of spiritual challenge. A primitive, religiously fanatical Arab is ranting about his God. Once again, the I.D.F. attempts to deal with a spiritual challenge with a strictly technical solution. And once again it fails.
Why?
Because the moral stain that "defiled the I.D.F. uniform" has blotted out the basic values that the army needs in order to win. Technology devoid of belief cannot overcome an enemy that is fighting for its values -- no matter how ghastly those values are.
Only soldiers like Amichai can save our nation from the Hizbollah and from the Islamic tsunami behind it. Only soldiers like Amichai can counter Nasrallah's deity of holy war and death with the living G-d of ISRAEL -- and back it up with technological know-how.
But Second Lieutenant Amichai Merchavia, may G-d avenge his blood, was killed in the battle of BINT JBEL.
All that we are left with is technology.
Dan Halutz and Amichai Merchavia are in completely different places.
Shabbat Shalom from Kochav HaShachar,

Beware German soldiers on Israel's border!
Role of multinational force in Lebanon explored
By ELIAS LEVY
MONTREAL - Avi Primor, a respected Israeli diplomat, is a former Israeli ambassador to Germany and the European Union, and a former vice-president of Tel Aviv University. He is currently director of European studies at the interdisciplinary centre of Herzliya University.
Primor, who is close to Israeli Defence Minister Amir Peretz, has, from the beginning of the war with Lebanon, been responsible for evaluating the possibility of deploying an international military force in southern Lebanon.
In an interview from his home in Tel Aviv, Primor discussed the war.
Canadian Jewish News: Could the international community force Israel to accept a ceasefire?
Primor: In the final analysis, the situation is this: no one wants war and everyone wants a ceasefire, but it depends on the conditions. If we’re talking about having a ceasefire imposed on us, as Hezbollah, Iran and Syria are asking, in order to preserve the status quo ante, it’s out of the question. The situation in southern Lebanon has to change drastically, completely.
At the moment, the Lebanese army is too weak to deploy troops in southern Lebanon. The other possibility is to call on a strong international force capable of fighting the Hezbollah militia and allowing the government in Beirut to impose its authority on all of southern Lebanon. If these conditions were met, then there could be a ceasefire. Meanwhile, Israel must continue to fight Hezbollah, and at the same time, prepare the ground for the deployment of an international force.
CJN: What role does Israel see for this multinational force?
Primor: This would have to be very different from other peace forces that have been sent to the Middle East. It would be an international force modelled on the multinational force that was established in Kosovo, or the one that attacked Iraq in 1991 to liberate Kuwait. It would be a combat force, not a force of observers.
A few days before her first visit to Lebanon and Israel, American Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said the same thing – that any international force must have the mandate and the military potential needed to be active rather than passive like the UNIFIL (United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon) soldiers now stationed in southern Lebanon.
CJN: Is this multinational force likely to be in place soon?
Primor: No, it would take several weeks to deploy. The troops have to be organized, with the approval of their governments, once the governments have the approval of their respective parliaments. The military intervention force will also need to have a clear mandate from the United Nations.
CJN: Would this force operate under the aegis of the United Nations?
Primor: No. This military force would not be under the direct command of the United Nations, but probably under that of NATO. The UN will only give its approval to the military force to give it international legitimacy.
CJN: Do you think the Lebanese government will agree to collaborate with this international intervention force?
Primor: It’s in the Lebanese government’s best interest to collaborate closely with this multinational force whose principal mandate will be to disarm Hezbollah. Without the help of the political authorities in Beirut, the military force will not be able to accomplish its objectives.
CJN: What are the main countries that will provide soldiers for this international military force?
Primor: The countries Israel would like to see participate are the ones that have a stake in Lebanon. First of all, France, which has a stake in and an emotional attachment to Lebanon and a military force that can carry out this type of foreign mission. The French military has already proven itself in several countries. But France can’t and doesn’t want to do this work alone. It will probably receive support from other European military forces, certainly from Germany.
CJN: Is it possible that the presence of German soldiers on Israel’s northern border will make Israelis uncomfortable?
Primor: Yes. The majority of Israelis would view with disfavour any deployment of German military forces along the Israeli-Lebanese border. Any accidental confrontation would have dramatic consequences for both Israel and Germany. But if there are German forces, I think they would have to take on two important tasks: helping with logistics, and stationing troops in northern Lebanon along the Syrian border to prevent the passage of Iranian arms coming to Lebanon through Syria.
CJN: Will the high number of Lebanese civilians who have died in IDF bombings of Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon weaken the support of western governments for Israel?
Primor: I don’t share that view. On the contrary, I believe it has been a very long time since Israel has had the benefit of such strong international support, including that of Europe. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t critics or concerns. The images that are being shown – you see them more than we Israelis do because our television stations protect us from them – are tragic images. You must understand that no sensitive human beings can remain indifferent to these images.
I attended some of the conversations that Condoleezza Rice had with top Israeli politicians during her first stop in Jerusalem. Eighty per cent of these discussions dealt with humanitarian issues in Lebanon. Nevertheless, Rice, like the Bush administration, unconditionally supports the State of Israel. She does not want a ceasefire. On the contrary, she wants Israel to continue to fight Hezbollah. There are even a fair number of Americans who are pushing us to attack Syria.
Yet the American politicians are very aware of the humanitarian crisis in Lebanon. And American public opinion, like public opinion anywhere in the world, is very sensitive to the war images coming from Lebanon. Still, the fact that European public opinion is also very sensitive to these dreadful images doesn’t mean that it does not support Israel in her war, which is a just war, a war of defence against the Islamist forces that attacked us.
CJN: In an interview with the newspaper Le Monde (July 27), French President Jacques Chirac said: “In this conflict, the blame is obviously shared.” Did that declaration shock Israelis?
Primor: Of course it shocked us. But you must understand that France has always been very sensitive toward Lebanon. The country is, in a way, its precious child. In addition, if France has to be at the forefront in southern Lebanon, it doesn’t want to alienate a majority of Lebanese. It wants the popular support of the Lebanese people. France can’t support Israel unconditionally because it would have very little credibility with the Lebanese.
I understand France’s position. But I can also tell you that in private conversations we have had with French political figures, we have seen that the French position is not so black-and-white.
CJN: In this conflict, English-speaking countries, specifically the United States, Great Britain, Canada and Australia, are supporting Israel, whereas non-anglophone countries, especially in Europe, are criticizing – some vehemently – Israel’s entirely legitimate response to the Hezbollah attacks. How do you explain this?
Primor: I don’t know how the situation appears in Canada, but the United States and England are both in an all-out war, in Iraq and Afghanistan, against Islamist terrorist forces. These two countries, both directly affected by Islamist terrorism, are more sensitive to Israel’s struggle against terrorist organizations. Europe, with the exception of England, is not present on these battlegrounds.
CJN: Is this conflict likely to significantly tarnish Israel’s image in the world?
Primor: I think Israel’s image will depend a lot on the outcome of this conflict. If this war ends with Hezbollah being significantly weakened, international law being imposed, and the restoration of the legitimacy of the government of Beirut in all of the Lebanese territory, I believe the overall result for Israel will be positive, although there will always be critics.
