“Where are you?” demanded the brother-in-law of 29-year-old Oshrit Ohana suspiciously, just seconds before the taxi in which she and her children were racing to the Gaza security barrier managed to reach the Erez border crossing terminal. “Return home immediately!”

How do Jews read the Bible?

Kees de Vreugd, February 16, 2010

The spirit of anti-Semitism keeps rearing its head, even among those who should know better. Robin Shepherd reports that a senior UK Liberal-Democrat recently recommended investigating claims that Israelis have been harvesting bodily organs in Haiti. How cynical and twisted can you get? It was the Israeli’s who were the first to mobilize specialist support teams in Haiti! And still people seem determined to demonize the Jews. Read more »

Father Angelina Jolie loves Israel and the Jewish people

editor Monday, February 15, 2010

In this film you see the father of Angelina Jolie, Jon Voight, speaking out on behalf of the Jewish people. He is touched by the fact that the Jewish people have survived throughout history. The land of Israel is a miracle and he calls the Jewish people a blessings. Watch the film:

On June 8, 2009, Voight hosted a Republican congressional fundraiser, and he also made his own speech within the event. He criticized President Obama and described his most pressing concern to be for Israel’s safety, stating that he believed the Palestinian People’s only agenda to be wiping Israel off the map. Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich praised Voight’s speech. McConnell told Voight about his speech: “I really enjoyed that.”

In this film, Jon Voight says: God gave this land to the Jewish people.

Calling for genocide of Jews

Henk Kamsteeg, Friday, February 5, 2010
A sermon calling for the genocide of Jews was broadcast on Jan. 29 by PA TV, which is under the control of PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas. “The Jews are the enemies of Allah and of His Messenger. They are the enemies of humanity in general and of Palestinians in particular. The Prophet says, ‘You shall fight the Jews and kill them. This land will be liberated only by means of Jihad.”

Destruction of the Jews
In a recent interview with a leading Israeli newspaper, Abbas proudly declared that there is no more incitement in the mosques. Itamar Marcus’ Palestinian Media Watch reports that in addition to PA television, broadcasts are calling for destruction of the Jews, and Holocaust Denial and hatred of Israel is rampant in PA School Textbooks.
One must take a realistic view at what is at the heart of the Palestinian people and their leaders in terms of future peaceful co-existence with Israel. Read more >>

Netanyahu and Ezekiel in Auschwitz

By Paddy Monaghan. Thursday, February 4, 2010
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last week traveled to Poland to commemorate the 65th anniversary of liberation of Auschwitz. Speaking on the actual site of the Nazi death camp, the Prime Minister warned the world of new genocidal threats against the Jewish people…

the importance of acting early enough to prevent such threats from coming to pass. In a stunning and remarkable moment, Netanyahu also declared to the people of Europe and the world that the prophecies of Ezekiel 37 have been fulfilled. The Holocaust, he said, represented the “dry bones” and “graves” of the Jewish people, and out of that horror the State of Israel was resurrected, just as the Lord said would happen through the Hebrew Prophet Ezekiel.
Rarely has any world leader given a major address on an international stage declaring End Times prophecies from the Bible have come true. But that is exactly what Netanyahu did.

Speed the coming of the Messiah

…”as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming.” 2 Peter 3:12
The Bible really says that! You and I can influence the timing of the return of Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah. How? By looking forward to His return. That sounds ridiculous, however that’s exactly what it says. But how do you look forward to that day, you may wonder. By hoping in Him, the Lion of Judah. It amazes me that as time goes by this hope seems to weaken.
Many elderly people still expect the return of the Messiah. But most youths couldn’t care less… Although, recently I spoke to a well-known practiced spiritual leader who confided in me that His return “could wait another 500 years…”. Read more >>

Where are the lost tribes of Israel?

By Barry Strong

About 2,700 years ago the land of Israel was invaded by Assyria and ten of the nation’s tribes were carried away into captivity.
No return of these tribes to their land has been recorded in the Bible or in secular histories. Nothing more has been heard of them. Apparently they vanished without trace. But the Bible says they have an important place in Israel’s future.
