U.S. Democratic Lawmakers Say Abbas Biggest Impediment to Peace

A large delegation of 29 US Democratic lawmakers said during a press conference in Jerusalem on Thursday that they view Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas as the biggest current impediment to peace in the region.

"I think the largest thing impeding the negotiations at this point is simply the unwillingness of Abbas to sit down [with the Israelis]," said House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD).

Abbas has refused to hold any high level negotiations with Israeli since Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took office over four months ago. Abbas says he will not talk to the Israeli until all Jewish construction in Judea and Samaria comes to a halt.

But Hoyer called the current focus on the natural growth of Jewish settlements a "marginal" issue that is being way overblown by Abbas, the US administration and the international media.

"The issue of natural growth in the settlements has become a large part of the story, when really it is a marginal aspect of the peace process," said Hoyer.

The remarks were seen as a further rejection of the way US President Barack Obama is handling the Middle East peace process. Barak and US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have made overriding pressure on Israel to stop the growth of Jewish settlements the centerpiece of their peace policy, while largely ignoring ongoing violent actions and rhetoric on the part of the Palestinians.

The Christian Warrior Must be Vigorous in Faith. (ephesians 6:16)

As each fiery dart, tipped with the flames of hellish hate, comes speeding to the soldier of the cross, deafened by the din and blinded by the smoke of battle, he must catch and quench it on the golden shield of faith, that it reach not his head or heart.

Sometimes a slander will be circulated, for which you have given no occasion; or a venomous speech or article will be hurled at you; or some horrible suggestion win be thrust between the joints of the armour; or some deadly reminder of the sins of the past, which you can never recall without burning remorse. At such times we are tempted to give back, to renounce our work, to withdraw from the battle. And those will certainly yield to the temptation, who are not inspired by the faith that can hand these things over to the compassionate and mighty Saviour, who knows all, but loves better than He knows, and who interposes to cover our heads in the day of battle.

But faith like this is only possible to him whose hands are clean, and his heart pure; who is living in daily fellowship with Jesus, and whose soul is nurtured by daily feeding on the Word of God.

Palestinian Gunmen Attack Jewish Motorists

Palestinian terrorist gunmen in a passing vehicle opened fire on three Jewish motorists in Samaria on Wednesday night. Two of the Israelis were lightly wounded when the gunfire shattered their vehicle's windows.

The vehicle sustained substantial damage, and it was a miracle that its passengers did not suffer more severe injuries.

The attack took place near the Jewish community of Ma'aleh Levona near the Palestinian-controlled town of Nablus. Israeli forces immediately set up roadblocks in the area in an effort to catch the terrorists, but the latter are believed to have escaped to the safety of Palestinian-controlled areas before they could be captured.

Can you tell me anything about Evolution thet is true?

"Question is: Can you tell me anything you know about evolution, any one thing, any one thing that is true? I tried that question on the geology staff at the Field Museum of Natural History and the only answer I got was silence. I tried it on the members of the Evolutionary Morphology Seminar in the University of Chicago, a very prestigious body of evolutionists, and all I got there was silence for a long time and eventually one person said, 'I do know one thing - it ought not to be taught in high school.'"

A group of extremist Christians say that God hates Jews

Members of the Westboro Baptist Church in Kansas, known for its anti-Semitic rhetoric, protested in front of several Jewish institutions in New York City recently and they were carrying signs that read, "God Hates Jews" as they confronted the leaders of these major Jewish organizations. The Anti-Defamation League's director of civil rights, Deborah Lauter, said that the Westboro Baptist Church is definately, unequivocally anti-Semitic.

A number of Jewish leaders and members of the community in New York City confronted the extremist demonstrators and said though they value the freedom of speech, they must stand up against bigotry and anti-Semitism.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

Anti-Semitism from whatever source is blasphemy against God and will set the stage for the end times scenario found in Bible prophecy for the Jewish people in the last days.

I reported that extremist Christians say that God hates Jews but I must hasten to say that I would find it hard to believe that any true born again Bible believing Christian would ever be able to utter those words of God hating the Jews. One who believes in God's word as found in Deuteronomy 7:6-8 would be compelled to believe what the Lord said about the Jews - that they are His chosen people (verse 6) and that He chose them because He loved them (verse 8). I must believe that these so-called extremist Christians are indeed extremist but not Christians according to the Biblical defination of "Christian".

This report is evidence of how it will be during the seven years of judgment for the Jewish people referred to as the Tribulation. During the Time of Jacob's Trouble, as this time is talked about in Jeremiah 30:7, Jews will be persecuted and killed. Angelic forces from the heavenlies will try to kill all of the Jews on the Earth (Revelation 12:13-17). The Islamic world will move to annihilate the Jews in the Middle East (Ezekiel 38, Daniel 11, Psalm 83, and Joel 2). The ancient Jewish prophet Zechariah says that during this time of judgment soon coming, two out of every three Jews will be killed (Zechariah 13:8).

God loves the Jews and He will send Jesus Christ the Messiah to save them both physically and spiritually. Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

70% of Americans See Israel As Ally

Despite President Barack Obama’s overtures to the Arab world and his perceived coldness to the Jewish state, a full 70 percent of Americans say Israel is a U.S. ally in a new poll by Rasmussen Reports. Eight percent see it as an enemy and 16 percent see it as something in between.

The survey’s authors say: “Of course, none of the Islamic countries comes close to the positive feelings most adults here have toward Israel.”

Egypt, the most highly regarded Islamic country, still does much worse than Israel: thirty-nine percent see it as an ally, while nine percent say it is an enemy and 42 percent say it falls somewhere in between. This means that most Americans see Egypt as either an enemy or something between an enemy and a friend.

Saudi Arabia is the second most favored Arab country, but 25 percent still see it as an enemy. Twenty-three percent see it as an ally, and 46 percent as somewhere in between.

Eighty-one percent of American adults believe Palestinian leaders must recognize Israel’s right to exist as part of any Middle Eastern peace agreement.

The report’s authors explain that America’s close ties to Israel are undoubtedly “explained in part by the sharp contrast between the views Americans have of the Islamic countries in the region and how they feel about the Jewish state.”

A  dampening of optimism

Twenty-one percent say their country’s relationship with the Muslim world will be better a year from now. Twenty five percent believe that the relationship will get worse and 44 percent estimate that it will be roughly the same a year from now.

At the beginning of June, just before Obama gave a speech to the “Muslim world” in Egypt, 28 percent of voters said the U.S.’s relationship with the Muslim world would be better a year hence. Twenty-one percent predicted the relationship would be worse, and 45 percent thought it would stay the same.

In other words, the months that have passed have seen a dampening of American’s optimism regarding relations with the Muslim world.

Seventy percent of Americans say Iran is an enemy of the United States. When they are asked which country poses the greatest security threat to the United States, the top position “routinely seesaws between Iran and North Korea,” the report’s summary says.
