Prime
Minister Netanyahu said Wednesday in a Speech at Yad Vashem:
“Millions of people in the Muslim world read and hear horrible
falsehoods about the Jewish people. They tell them that the Jews are the
descendants of monkeys and pigs. They say that Jews drink the blood of their
enemies in goblets…. British MPs, senior officials in Sweden, public opinion
makers in France; I must say that anti-Semitism in our days is creating odd
combinations – the (liberal) elites who allegedly represent hu-man progress joining
up with the worst barbarians on Earth, those who chop off heads, persecute
women, oppress gays, destroy cultural treasures… We must mobilize to spread the
truth with the same passion our enemies are mobilizing to spread lies… For
generations we were like a driven leaf in the wind, without strength, without
defense. But no more.” Jerusalem Connection

Former
Miss USA pageant winner Rima Fakih, who became the first Muslim and
Arab-American to win the title in 2010, has reportedly converted to Christianity. According to the Middle East news
site Albawaba,
Fakih converted to Christianity in April ahead of her marriage to Christian
music producer Wassim Salibi.
While Fakih’s crowning as Miss USA drew
praise from many within the Arab and Muslim-American community, some within the
Muslim community did not feel she properly represented her religion.
In a tweet on March 30, Fakih also quoted a
verse from the New Testament, possibly indicating her new faith. “Philippians
4:13 I can do all things through him who strengthens me,” Fakih wrote.
Born in Lebanon but raised in New York and
Michigan, Fakih comes from a Shi’a Muslim family. However, in a 2010 interview
with the Huffington Post,Rima
noted that Islam did not play a huge role in her family life and that she
has relatives who are Christian.
Obama Admin: Yes, We Lied to
Israel About Iran Israel Today Staff
9 May 2016 www.IsraelToday.co.il
PO Box 7555, Jerusalem 91074, ISRAEL
Ben Rhodes, a deputy National Security
Adviser to US President Barack Obama, revealed in a New York Times
interview what pretty much everyone already knew - the Obama White House lied
to win approval for its Iran nuclear deal. Getting a deal on the books was more
important than the consequences. It was more important than the reality of an
aggressive and nuclear-armed Iran.
That’s
the gist of what Rhodes told the Times. “We can do things
that challenge the conventional thinking that, you know, ‘AIPAC doesn’t like
this,’ or ‘the Israeli government doesn’t like this,’ or ‘the gulf countries
don’t like it,’” Rhodes said. “It’s the possibility of improved relations with
adversaries.[1] It’s nonproliferation.”
Where
Obama explicitly lied to allies and Americans was in describing the nuclear
deal as having been struck with a “moderate” Iranian regime that had finally
displaced a far more hard-line government in Tehran. “The idea that there was a
new reality in Iran was politically useful to the Obama administration,” read
the Times
article.
Had
Obama been honest about the fact that the foundation for his deal had already
been laid with the former hard-line Iranian government, and that the new “moderate”
regime wasn’t really all that moderate, a lot more people would have taken the
Israeli view of the nuclear agreement.
Former
US Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta was also interviewed, noting that another
lie was the notion that America under Obama would ever resort to military force
should Iran violate the agreement and field a nuclear weapon.
Just
days after these revelations, the Iranian new agency Tasnim reported that Iran
recently tested a new medium-range ballistic missile capable of accurately
striking any point in Israel. (This was also a violation of the agreement that
the nations made with Iran. RAC)
Canada: Israel's Peace Partners are Terrorists 5-8-16
Israel Today Staff
www.IsraelToday.co.il
Canada’s
Federal Court upheld a decision that basically labeled Israel’s purported
“peace partners” in the Palestinian Authority as terrorists. Earlier, the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada had
denied asylum to Akram Muslih Anteer, a Palestinian man living in Sweden,
because of his connection to Fatah.
Fatah is the party of Palestinian President
Mahmoud Abbas. It is the largest and most dominant faction in the PLO and the
Palestinian Authority. The Cana-dians determined that “Fatah did not entirely
disassociate itself from acts of terrorism against the Israeli state even after renouncing armed struggle and… the
most notorious faction within Fatah, the AAMB (Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades), does
not exist separately from Fatah as a whole.”
Unlike most Western power brokers, the
Canadian government paid attention to the evidence demonstrating that “Fatah
engaged in acts of violence and terrorism ... through the AAMB, during the
Second Intifada from 2000 to at least 2007.”
Many Israeli leaders, both left- and
right-wing, have long maintained that they have no genuine partner for peace in
the Palestinian Authority. It would seem the Canadians agree.
Adultery
in the USA
We
were pleasantly surprised to see an interesting article quoted from Deborah
Rhode of the Los Angeles Times. Adultery is no longer a crime in 29 states.
However, this has not resulted in an epidemic of adultery in the states that
have repealed adultery laws. "Indeed, research today shows that about 20%
of married men and 15% of married women admit to having been unfaithful -
substantially lower rates than in the 1950s." Apparently Donald Trump does
not represent most Americans when he brags about his many affairs with
"apparently happily married women."
There was also an interesting item which
was quoted from the Christian Science Monitor. "Teen birth rates
have fallen to an all-time low, plunging 61% since 1991 - partly because of access
to reliable birth control, and partly because teenagers are having less sex.
The percentage of teenage females who are sexually active declined from 51% in
1988 to 43% in 2010." If we were to pay attention to the media, we would
think that everyone was out of control. But it isn't so.
Poll: Americans Sympathize More with Israel (Pew Research Center)
As has been the

than the Palestinians - by 54% to 19%.
Among
Millennials (born after 1980), 43% report sympathizing more with Israel, while
27% are more sympathetic to the Palestinians.
Baby Boomers (born 1946-1964) and those in the Silent generation

roughly three-to-one (54% vs. 17%).
Peace with Israel in Egyptian Textbooks: What Changed between the Mubarak
and el-Sisi Eras? - Ofir Winter
One chapter of a
new textbook published by the Egyptian Education Ministry for the 2015-2016
school year is devoted to the peace treaty with Israel. A comparison of the new
book with previous textbooks reveals that the book is more firmly supportive of
peace with Israel, particularly based on the approach that it is a necessary
condition for improving Egypt's economic situation.
The book mentions Israel as a partner in
"friendly" peace relations, and a picture of Prime Minister Menahem
Begin appears alongside that of President Anwar Sadat. The book makes less
mention of the wars with Israel and the Palestinian problem than in the past.
These are significant changes that can have a positive effect on the idea of
peace with Israel among Egypt's young generation. (Strategic Assessment-Institute

Inmate's
Worship Plan Was Rejected
North
Carolina inmate Israel Ben-Levi wanted to worship with other Jewish inmates.
The 68-year-old failed when the Supreme Court denied his petition. However, the
court's staunchest law-and-order conservative (Samuel Alito) dissented from the
majority vote. Alito wrote, "The court's indifference to this
discriminatory infringement of religious liberty is disappointing." Alito
reasoned that Ben-Levi had made a solid First Amendment claim against N.C.
prison officials.
"Many prisoners, including Ben-Levi,
consider it important to congregate with other practitioners of their faith for
prayer and discussion," Alito wrote. "Preventing them from doing so
burdens their religious exercise, even if they are allowed to study and pray
alone in a cell."
Ben-Levi had requested permission to meet
in a quite room to pray and study Torah with two other inmates. His request was
denied. He wrote, "...all other faith groups are allowed to meet, yet the
Jewish inmates are discriminated against."
The reason for the turndown was rather ridiculous:
"Concerns have been raised in the past of inmates engaging in gang
activity under the guise of being members of the same religious faith
group," according to N.C. Assistant Attorney General Kimberly Grande.
However, the other faith groups are allowed to meet. Having three Jews meeting
together to study Torah doesn't sound like dangerous gang activity. (The source

Bill Clinton Blames
Palestinians for Lack of Peace Deal
5/16/16 www.IsraelToday.co.il
Former
US President Bill Clinton, who oversaw the bulk of existing Israeli-Palestinian
peace deals, has reiterated that the Palestinian leadership is to blame for the
lack of a final status agreement.
“I killed myself to give the Palestinians a
state,” said Clinton while campaigning for his wife, Hillary Clinton, last
Friday. “I had a deal they turned down…” It wasn’t the first time Bill Clinton
had called out the Palestinian leadership for scuttling genuine peace efforts.
In his memoirs, the former president revealed
that it was Yasser Arafat who prevented the high-profile Camp David talks in
2000 from resulting in an agreement. In fact, just months later the
Palestinians launched the “Second Intifada.” ...
“Hamas is really smart. When they decide to
rocket Israel, they insinuate themselves in the hospitals, in the schools, in
the highly populous areas,” Clinton explained. “They said they try to put the
Israelis in a position of either not defending themselves or killing innocents.”
Obama's Directive on Transgender
American Family Association
P O Drawer 2440 | Tupelo, MS 38803
On May 13th, the Obama
administration sent a directive to thousands of school districts across the
country demanding they allow transgender students access to restrooms and
locker rooms corresponding to their imagined gender identity. The letter cited
Title IX which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex but nowhere in Title
IX is the term transgender mentioned.
This
letter also threatened lawsuits and loss of federal funds if
school districts disobey the directive. In essence, the Obama administration is
saying either schools fall in line with its radical agenda or
face punishment
from the government.
According to
President Obama, schools must allow public school students access to the
restroom or locker room of the opposite sex. This is a dangerous policy and a
liability nightmare. Ultimately, God's created and natural order is under
assault.
As
a dad and grandfather, I don't want a teenage boy in the same restroom (or
locker room or shower) with my daughter or granddaughter. Arkansas Governor Asa
Hutchinson fired back at the Obama administration:
"As Governor,
I recommend that local school districts disregard the latest attempt at social
engineering by the federal government and continue to use common sense to
ensure a safe and healthy environment... While the letter implies federal money
could be withheld, the letter is not legally binding."
Editor's
Note: It is truly outrageous that the Executive
Branch of the Federal Government would seek to "legislate" demands
that schools be forced to allow biological males to use the girls' rest rooms,
locker rooms, and showers. Is modesty now forbidden? Also, according to this
edict, if a girl self-identifies as a boy, she should be allowed to use the
boys' rest rooms, locker rooms, and showers. This is truly insanity.
If a boy thinks he is a girl, or if a girl
thinks she is a boy, he or she might be psychologically sick. Such children may
in need of serious coun-seling and compassion. They are not in need for
the locker rooms and showers of the opposite gender. Also, the President is not
permitted under the Constitution to make laws. The courts are also making laws
which is also unconstitutional. The writers of the Constitution would be
horrified to see the Supreme Court mandating same-sex marriage, but it
happened.
Congress is the Legislative Branch, not the
courts, and not the President. Such radical social engineering should not be
pushed upon the entire nation. There seems to be no end to the demands of the
LGBTQ lobby. RAC
Understanding The Issues: Historical
Facts Regarding The ‘Right Of Return’: Khaled Al-Azm, Syria's Prime
Minister after the 1948 war said, “Since 1948 it is we who demanded the return
of the refugees - while it is we who made them leave. We brought disaster upon
Arab refugees, by inviting them and bringing pressure to bear upon them to
leave.” His confession has been echoed by many Arab leaders including the
former King Hussein of Jordan, over the decades. More than a generation has
passed since Arabs fled their homes in 1948 at the behest of Arab leaders who
warned they were about to purge the land of Jews. Israel on the other hand
encouraged its Arab residents to stay put, promising no harm would come to them
due to Israeli military aggression. They chose otherwise and then wished to
return after Israel’s miraculous victory over five Arab nations, encouraged by
their defeated leaders to cause violence and upheaval from the inside. Understandably,
Israel blocked that plan. Countless opportunities to resettle under better conditions
and more UN refugee aid given to the Palestinian people than any other refugee
group in history has not budged them from passivity and bitterness. To this day
residents of sprawling Palestinian refugee camps, plus their children and hildren’s
children are still claiming international aid and waiting to return to
forfeited property. Israel’s concerns about demographic imbalance and having to
be responsible for resettling close 5.6 million people (increased from the
original 711,000 refugees) who are professed enemies of the Jewish State has
made this an impossible condition for peace in the Middle East. (JNN)
A Brief Review: Jewish Refugees From
Arab Countries: Hundreds of thousands of Jewish
residents in Arab countries were forced to flee their homes following the
creation of the state of Israel. Jewish refugees far outnumbered so called
Palestinian refugees who voluntarily left Israel decades ago - having been
counseled to do so by Arab warlords - and now clamor for the right to return by
the millions and reclaim land, houses and Israeli citizenship. Jews, on the
other hand, suffered the losses, remade their lives and prospered in other
lands, mainly in Israel who absorbed and nurtured them. They have not been
standing at Arab doors with their hands outstretched, demanding to be let back
in and compensated along with their progeny. It is an issue often overlooked as
Arab leaders dictate the Palestinian “Right of Return” be agreed to in their
long list of unreasonable demands for peace with Israel. (JNN)

Reports Of Continued Isis Brutality: On 12 May 2016, ISIS released
a new anti-Christian propaganda video with sickening images of the murder of a
group of Christians who refused to convert to Islam. In the chilling video, a
group of at least 16 Ethiopian Christians can be seen lying on a beach in
Libya. The Christians were dressed in the traditional orange ISIS jumpsuits
while their masked executioners stand behind them. They are then separated into
two groups. The first group is shot while the ISIS terrorists say they are “followers
of the cross from the enemy Ethiopian Church,” while the other group undergoes
gruesome beheadings.
The video
also shows images of burning churches in Nineveh (Mosul) and other places in
Iraq. This was the second time ISIS murdered Christians on a beach in Libya. In
February 2015, ISIS beheaded a group of Egyptian Coptic Christians. Last week
ISIS buried alive 45 of its fighters after the men were caught fleeing from a
battlefield during fierce fighting with the Kurdish Peshmerga militia in
northern Iraq. In the same region, an Iraqi family of five was burned alive for
trying to escape ISIS territory. (Western Journalism) These brave Christian martyrs now rest in their Savior’s

113-Year-Old Jewish Woman
Now Oldest Person In The US May
13, 2016
www.jta.org—JTA— The oldest American is now a 113-year-old Jewish woman named Goldie. After the death of 116-year-old Susannah Mushatt-Jones, the New York Daily News reported that Goldie Michelson of Worcester, Massachusetts, became the oldest living American.
Since the death of another Goldie,
114-year-old Goldie Steinberg
last year, Michelson has likely been the oldest Jew in the world too. The
world’s oldest Jewish man, 112-year-old Yisrael Kristal, recently became the
world’s oldest man. Kristal, a Holocaust survivor who was born in Poland in
1903, lives in Israel.
Michelson (neé Corash) was born in
Russia in 1902 and emigrated with her family to Worcester at the age of 2. Her
father, Max, was a medical student in Russia who opened up a dry goods store in
the Water Street area of Worcester.
She attended the Women’s College of Brown
University, which later became Pembroke University, and received a master’s
degree in sociology from Clark University in Worcester. Her thesis at Clark was
titled “A Citizenship Survey of Worcester Jewry” and examined why many of the
city’s older Jewish-immigrant residents did not pursue American citizenship or
learn English.
She told the Worcester Telegram
in 2012 that her thesis was inspired by her time working with Jewish women’s
organizations, like Hadassah and the National Council of Jewish Women.
Michelson was also active in other community groups, including one that
supported the founding of Brandeis University.
Michelson has remained in Worcester ever
since. She credits her longevity to walking. “It never occurred to me that
I would live this long,” Michelson told Clark University’s
magazine in 2012. “I just went on and on, and I’ve loved it.”
Israel's Ambassador to the U.S.: Groups that Criticize Only Israel Are
Anti-Semitic
Ron
Dermer with Herb Keinon (Jerusalem Post)
"When I hear that
church groups or academic associations have decided to boycott or divest from
Israel, my first question is whether Israel is the 51st, 71st or 121st country
on their list of boycotted nations. If Israel is one of many countries they are
boycotting, then at least I know these groups may have some principle by which
they are judging Israel."
"But if these groups single out Israel, the only
liberal democracy in the Middle East, and are silent on all the egregious human
rights violations that exist throughout the world - North Korea, Syria, Iran
and dozens of other countries that I will not mention because I am a diplomat -
then they are anti-Semites."
"We live at a time when ancient Christian communities in
the Middle East are being decimated, when Christians are being decapitated en
masse, when Christians are literally fleeing for their lives in the region -
and a group of Christians actually call to divest from Israel, the one country
in the region where Christians are free and safe, with a Christian population
five times larger than it was in 1948?"
Why does Israel still needs military assistance? "It is
true that Israel has a relatively high GDP per capita - about $37,000. The
problem is that Israel doesn't have enough 'capita.' That is, we have a very
small population - 8.5 million people.... Because of Israel's huge defense
needs and very small population, Israel has always been forced to dedicate a
much larger percentage of its GDP to defense than other countries."
"European countries spend about 1% of their GDP on defense
and almost never more than 2%. The United States traditionally spends about 4%
of its GDP on defense. In recent years, Israel has spent roughly 6% of our GDP
[on defense]."
"The prime minister recently pointed out that in the last
10 to 15 years, the U.S. has spent over $1.5 trillion in Iraq and Afghanistan.
That's the equivalent of about 500 years of U.S. assistance to Israel.
And Israel has never asked American soldiers to risk their lives to
defend us - only to provide us with the tools we need to better defend ourselves."
Indigenous Rights Activist Urges All
Jews to Claim the Right to Their Homeland Times of Israel News May 9th
www.out-of-zion.com It is time the world and Jews themselves
identify the People of the Book as indigenous people of Israel. At least,
that’s the opinion of indigenous rights activist Ryan Bellerose of Alberta,
Canada. He recently returned from his second trip to the Holy Land where he
filmed a video supporting the concept for the Israeli advocacy group StandWithUs.
In a video that has attracted thousands of views since its release in
April, Bellerose elaborates, “Everything that makes Jews Jewish their
spirituality, their traditions, their culture, their language, everything it
stems from Israel.” Bellerose is a Métis Indian from Northern Alberta.
A self-proclaimed Zionist who has published a long list of articles supporting
Israel, Bellerose shared more about his passions in this interview with The
Times of Israel. "I have visited all the major sacred sites, and many historical
sites that reinforce the indigenous nature of the Jewish people to their
ancestral land. This has helped me in being a pro-Israel advocate. I saw that
the other side not only doesn’t really care about facts, but they are much better
at storytelling." Please pray that the LORD will raise up

1960s. There remains significant disparity between wealthy nations and poorer
ones, with 29 high-income states averaging over 80 years and 22 Sub-Saharan
African countries
averaging under 60, the UN body said. Israel ranked eighth overall with 82.5 years on average,
coming just behind Italy and Iceland. Japan ranked first overall with an
average life expectancy of 83.7 years. The United States had an overall average

Has the UN Human Rights Council Become a Nightmare?
- Hillel Neuer
In 2003, dictatorships
hijacked the UN Commission on Human Rights, electing the murderous regime of
Libya's Muammar Gaddafi as chair. At the initiative of UN secretary-general
Kofi Annan, the UN in June 2006 replaced the commission with the Human Rights
Council, a reformed body of members committed to human rights, which would
address the world's most severe abuses.
As the
new body celebrates its tenth anniversary in June, has the council lived up to
the promises of reform? In over 50 sessions, only 14 countries have been
condemned - less than what even the discredited commission accomplished. With
62% non-democracies, the council's 2016 membership is the worst ever.
The
council's pathological obsession with demonizing Israelis, and denying their
human rights, has never been worse. It has adopted 67 resolutions condemning
Israel - 6 more than for the rest of the world combined. The writer is executive
director of UN Watch in Geneva. (Jerusalem Post)
New 'Palestinian' Museum Opens - But Nothing to
Exhibit
Arutz 7 News May 18th
A new museum
has been opened outside of Ramallah. The museum is actually named the Palestinian
Museum, it cost $24 million, and it celebrate its opening on May 18th
in Birzeit, just outside Ramallah (and Beit El). The building is modern and
beautiful, it has an outdoor amphitheater, its garden is terraced – but it has
no exhibits. This comes as no surprise to beginning students of
history, who know that Palestinian Arab history goes back only a few decades.
It started, in fact, with the abrupt "founding" of the "Palestinian
people" in 1964, as stated in the Palestinian National Charter of 1964
when the Palestinian Liberation Organization was founded. On the other hand,
the decision to actually open the museum in such a condition is
"shocking," according to Sam Bahour, a PA business consultant and
civil rights activist quoted in The New York Times. “There will
not be any artwork exhibited in the museum at all,” a spokesperson acknowledged.

Mosab Hassan
Yousef, a former undercover Shin Bet agent for Israel, calls on the free world
to fight radical Islam.
By Yoni Kempinski
Mosab Hassan Yousef,
son of one Hamas founder Hassan Yousef who in the past served as an undercover
agent for the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet), on May 22 told the Jerusalem Post conference
in New York that “Islam is the problem” and that the free world must fight it.
Yousef, whose code name was “The Green
Prince,” risked his life working undercover for the Shin Bet, and during that
time he supplied information that prevented dozens of suicide attacks and
assassinations of Israelis and exposed numerous Hamas terrorist cells. He
ultimately converted to Christianity and fled to the United States where he was
granted political asylum.
“At one point I thought that the Jewish nation
is the enemy of humanity. I thought they were the enemy of our people, the
Palestinian people, until I experienced what the Jewish nation truly is,” said
Yousef, who described Israel as “the only light in the Middle East”.
“We can fool ourselves, but there is an Islamic
problem,” he continued, adding, “Al-Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Islamic Jihad,
the Islamic State (ISIS) and Boko Haram - all of them kill in the name of
Allah.”
“There is an Islamic problem and humanity
needs to stand against this danger, because it is not directed only against
Israel. This danger is against human evolution,” warned Yousef.
“Humanity and the free world must unite.
Today the free world should unite against Islam, not against Muslims but
against Islam as a belief system. When the president of the free world says
that Islam is a religion of peace, he creates the climate for the formation of
more terror,” he added.
Yousef praised Israel for its morality
and its values, saying Israel is a “nation that managed to survive the
Holocaust and instead of assuming the role of victim and blaming everyone
else, they were able to establish a democratic state - a young country
which developed in less than 25 years. This is a good example for everyone.”
Netanyahu: Millions Of Children Are Taught That Jews Are
Apes And Pigs: Children throughout
the Middle East have been brainwashed to believe that Jews are akin to apes and
pigs and should be killed, PM Benjamin Netanyahu said on 22 May 2016, in a prerecorded
address to the annual Jerusalem Post Conference in New York. “These children
get up each morning, put on their clothes and go to school. They play with
their friends, they ride their bikes,” Netanyahu said as he described a normal
childhood routine. “But their pure and impressionable souls are then seized by
fanatics. Their minds are poisoned with hatred. Such incitement to kill is one
of the worst crimes imaginable,” he said. “No child should be taught to hate,
let alone to kill or to want to die, and this is occurring both in the
Palestinian territories, such as Ramallah, and the Middle East in general.
Ending this hatred is critical to advancing peace. This is the crux of the
problem; this incitement to kill Jews and kill the Jewish state,” he continued.
“Encourage your friends, family, your leaders, your elected leaders to expose
the hatred of Hamas, Iran and, I regret to say, the Palestinian Authority as
well,” Netanyahu said. “Do not let their words go unchallenged. Battle back
with words of your own. Working together, I am confident that hope will triumph
over fear, that tolerance will deflect bigotry and defeat it and that peace
will overcome war,” Netanyahu concluded. (J. Post)

Amsterdam
To Pay Jewish Community 11m For Holocaust Survivor Taxes: Amsterdam will give its Jewish
community $11 million as compensation for taxes imposed on Holocaust survivors
who returned home to the Dutch capital following World War II. Upon their
return, the survivors were made to pay a tax because their homes were left
empty during the Holocaust. They also had to pay back taxes for the years they
had been taken away from the city, as well as insurance fees. The taxes were
discovered by a student in 2013, and that year, Amsterdam Mayor Eberhard van
der Laan said the city should “put it right.” Last week, the city said it would
reimburse the $11 million - an estimate of the total taxes paid by survivors
following the war. “Finding the individual people or their relatives would be
very costly and complex, and that is not the idea.” The city has suggested the
money be put toward a Holocaust memorial monument or community program (JTA)
Iran:
We Can Destroy Israel In Eight Minutes: A top Iranian military official this
week said the Islamic Republic has the means to destroy all of Israel in a
matter of minutes. “If the Supreme Leader’s orders are to be executed, with the
abilities and the equipment at our disposal, we will raze the Zionist regime in
less than eight minutes,” Ahmad Karimpour, an advisor to Iran’s Revolutionary
Guards, told reporters. The statement is concerning in light of Iran’s recent
ballistic missile tests. According to the Iranian regime, its new missiles
boast pinpoint accuracy with a range of 2,000 miles, meaning they can hit all
of the Jewish state. Karimpour’s remarks also hinted at Iran’s continued
defiance vis-a-via its nuclear arms program. Earlier this week, Iranian Supreme
Leader Ali Khamenei declared that his nation would continue to bolster its
ballistic missile arsenal, and there’s not a “damn thing” America and the West
can do about it. (Israel Today) Nonetheless there is something the intercessors can do
about it: “Proclaim
the power of God, whose majesty is over Israel, whose power is in the heavens.”

What if Jews Had Raped an
Arab Girl? 5/25/2016
www.IsraelToday.co.il
The
lifting of a court gag order on a severe incident that occurred in Tel Aviv two
weeks ago once again demonstrates the blatant double standards of the
mainstream media and the international community.
It was revealed that earlier this month
police arrested two young Arab men - one an Israeli citizen and the other from
the Palestinian-controlled territories - on suspicion they and a third
accomplice had brutally raped a mentally handicapped Jewish girl.
The girl, who filed the initial complaint,
was found by police to be in severe mental distress.
Over
the course of the investigation, it was discovered that one of the Arab suspects
had filmed the assault on his cellphone. The footage, according to police,
shows the two raping the 20-year-old Jewish girl while spitting on her and shouting
racist slogans.
The two men also threatened to kill the
girl’s family if she told anyone what had happened. In her ruling approving an
extended remand for the suspects, the judge wrote, “This is a shocking incident
of exploitation of a helpless and handicapped girl that had racist motives.”
The story was quickly picked up by most of
the Hebrew press, but was nowhere to be found in the mainstream international
English-language media. As one might imagine, had the roles been reversed - had
three Jewish men violently raped a handicapped Arab girl while shouting racist
slogans - it would take mere minutes for the story to become headline news
around the globe.
Israel’s
Unemployment Rate Fell To 4.9%, The Lowest Level In Decades:
Data released by the Central Bureau of Statistics on Mon. 23 May 2016, shows
that from March to April, unemployment dropped from 5.3% to 4.9%, part of a
long downward trend from nearly 11% in 2004 in the midst of the Second
Intifada. Despite a global economic slowdown that’s put the pinch on Israeli exports
and reduced annual GDP growth to an anemic 0.8% for the first quarter of 2016,
the unemployment rate continued to slide in April. The jobs market also improved
qualitatively, with a shift towards full-time employment. The number of
part-time workers also decreased by 2.6% while the number of full-time
employees ticked upward by 1.6%. The unemployment rate in Israel was nearly
identical to the rate in the USA, which rose slightly in April, from 4.9% to
5.0%. (Arutz-7) Source: JNN NEWS,

Palestinian Authority Media Glorify Murderer of U.S. Army Veteran
Itamar
Marcus
On March 8, 2016, Palestinian terrorist Bashar Masalha attacked
civilians in Tel Aviv-Jaffa, stabbing to death American tourist Taylor Force -
a West Point[2]
graduate who served in Iraq and Afghanistan - and wounding 11 others before he was
shot and killed by Israeli police. Last week, Israel gave Masalha's body to the
Palestinian Authority.
Reporting on the funeral in which hundreds participated,
official PA TV glorified the murderer, calling him a "martyr" 11
times. Becoming a martyr in Islam represents the highest religious achievement.
The PA TV reporter explained that the funeral was "a large national
wedding befitting of martyrs." (Palestinian
Media Watch)
Editor's Note: It is national insanity that the Israeli
government returns the bodies of dead terrorists so that they can
receive a hero's welcome as martyrs. They also get schools, sports teams, and
streets named after them. In this sick religion, the martyr (or 'shahid') gets
72 virgins in heaven. Terrorists should be buried in some anonymous grave with
an unknown location. Otherwise, the grave becomes a place of pilgrimage to
honor the 'shahid.' Muslims also believe that if the body of a Muslim is
desecrated by being buried with pig parts, then the Muslim shahid doesn't get
the 72 virgins or even get to heaven. Something to consider or think
about... Israel needs to discourage
terrorism, not encourage it.
Ayatollah Khamenei: World Powers Forced to Accept Nuclear Deal with Iran:
Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Khamenei said
Thursday that Iran's nuclear advancements and power forced the world powers to
negotiate a deal with Tehran "after they saw Iran's might." He said
that enrichment to the 20% level, building 19,000 centrifuges, production of
second, third and fourth generation centrifuges, and construction of a heavy
water plant are other symbols of Iran's nuclear power. "The enemy, which
once wasn't ready to accept even the existence of one centrifuge in Iran, was
forced to accept the same fact after facing the country's nuclear power;
actually, the Americans didn't make this concession, but we took it in light of
our own power." (Fars-Iran)
Editor's Note: These comments from the Ayatollah prove that
Iran has no intention of keeping the nuclear deal that Iran made with other nations.
It is time to make the deal void, because Iran already did. And reinstate
sanctions. RAC
Iranian Commander: We Can
Raze Israel in Under 8 Minutes
Times of Israel News May 21st
The Iranian
Republic could “raze the Zionist regime in less than eight minutes.”
Ahmad Karimpour, a senior adviser to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards’ elite
unit al-Quds Force, said if Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei gave the order to
destroy Israel, the Iranian military had the capacity to do so quickly.
“If the Supreme Leader’s orders [are] to be executed, with the
abilities and the equipment at our disposal, we will raze the Zionist regime in
less than 8 minutes,” Karimpour said. A senior Iranian general on May 9 announced
that the country’s armed forces successfully tested a precision-guided,
medium-range ballistic missile two weeks earlier that could reach Israel.
"We test-fired a missile with a range of 2,000 kms and a
margin of error of 8 meters,” Brigadier General Abdollahi was quoted as saying.
The 8-meter margin means the “missile enjoys zero error.” In March
Iran tested ballistic missiles, including two with the words “Israel must
be wiped off the earth” emblazoned on them, according to the US and other
Western powers.
...According to the UN decision, “Iran is called upon not to
undertake any activity related to ballistic missiles designed to be capable
of delivering nuclear
weapons, including launches using such ballistic missile technology,” until October 2023. Lets
pray that the Iranian leadership meets the Holy One of Israel and repents before
He looses His wrath on the nation of Iran.
Pope Francis
Likens Christianity to Islam, Says Muslims Must Breed With Europeans
La Croix News May 18
In a shocking interview,
Pope Francis likened Christianity to Islam, and said Muslim migrants must breed
with Europeans to counter “declining birth rates.” “Today, I don’t think that
there is a fear of Islam as such, but of ISIS and its war of conquest, which is
partly drawn from Islam,” he told French newspaper La Croix. The Pope also said
he “dreaded” hearing about the “Christian roots of Europe” because, to him,
they take on “colonialist overtones” and he called on European nations to “integrate”
Muslim migrants into the continent. “This integration is all the more necessary
today since, as a result of a selfish search for well-being, Europe is experiencing
the grave problem of a declining birth rate,” he stated. “A demographic
emptiness is developing.”
The Pope's opinions are
stunningly similar to those of top Iman Sheikh Muhammad Ayed, who said Muslims
should exploit the migrant crisis to breed with Europeans and conquer their
countries. “Europe has become old and decrepit and needs human
reinforcement… soon, we will trample them underfoot, Allah willing,” he
stated. “Throughout Europe, all the hearts are enthused with hatred toward Muslims.
They wish that we were dead, but they have lost their fertility, so they look
for fertility in our midst.” We need to pray that people wake up to
the real agenda of this Pope.
How Islam Erases Christianity from History: Last month a video
emerged showing Islamic State members tossing hundreds of Christian textbooks

Brutal Stories of
ISIS Violence Shared at Conference to Aid Persecuted Christians: ‘We
are undergoing a real genocide,’ said Archbishop Jean-Clement Jeanbart of
Aleppo, Syria, ‘and we are afraid that they want to take us out of our life,
but also of our country, of the place where we were born, where the Church was
born.’
Report: 88 Percent
of Christian Refugees in Germany Admitted to Persecution By Muslim Counterparts:
Ironically, the culprits are fellow migrants and
Muslim countrymen from war-torn countries of Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. The
threat includes forcing them to join Islam prayers. (Editor's Note:
And the Europeans want to take in more Muslims?!?)

Steven Spielberg, In Harvard Com-mencement
Speech, Says Anti-Semitism On The Rise:
Speaking at Harvard University’s commencement on Thurs. 26 May 2016, filmmaker
Steven Spielberg said he was “wrong” as a kid to think anti-Semitism “was fading.”
Spielberg, told the graduates that the world “is full of monsters” espousing
“racism, ethnic hatred, class hatred” and “religious hatred.” “As a kid, I was
bullied for being Jewish,” Spielberg recalled in his speech. “This was upsetting,
but compared to what my parents and grandparents had faced, it felt tame
because we truly believed that anti-Semitism was fading. But we were wrong.
Over the last two years, nearly 20,000 Jews have left Europe to find higher
ground. And earlier this year, I was at the Israeli embassy when President
Obama stated the sad truth. He said: ‘We must confront the reality that around
the world, anti-Semitism is on the rise. We cannot deny it.’” The 69-year-old
creator of award-winning films like “Schindler’s List” and “Saving Private
Ryan,” also spoke about his Shoah Foundation. The foundation has taken video
testimonies of over 53,000 Holocaust survivors and witnesses in 63 countries
since he founded it in 1994. (J. Post)

Same-sex Marriage Legalized in Colombia:
In May 2016, Colombia's Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that same-sex marriage is now
legal throughout Colombia. This, of course, is the same way in which same-sex
was "legalized" by the Supreme Court in the United States. There is
nothing in the US Constitution or the Colombian Constitution that confers the
rights for men to marry men or women to marry women. However, a few un-elected
men and women can get together to invent new "rights" from their own
imaginations. The Constitution is whatever these judges say it is. If laws are
to be changed re-garding such fundamental issues, it should be done through the
legislatures, not through the courts, and certainly not through executive
action on the part of the president. Same-sex marriage is also legal in
Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay.

planned. The plan was for improved relations with Iran. Instead, Iran remains
as hostile to the USA as before, and now has more power and money to use
against the USA.
