Netanyahu in Germany: We Must Stop Evil in Due Time
Aug 27th, 2009

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu received on Thursday in Germany 29 sketches of the Auschwitz death camp and declared, "We cannot allow evil to cause massive death. We must stop evil in due time.”

In a clear reference to Iran, he added, "There is a connection between despotism and terrorism, between freedom and peace. … Military barbarism knows no limits. We must prevent the spread of these armies on time so that humanity can be saved."

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has stated several times that the State of Israel should be“ wiped out” and is advancing Iran’s nuclear program, which Israel and much of the Western world fears will enable the Islamic Republic to build a nuclear warhead to be aimed at Israel.

Ahmadinejad also is a leader in the movement to deny that the Nazi regime butchered six million Jews.

In a ceremony at the newsroom of the Berlin newspaper Bild, where the Prime Minister received the blueprints to be turned over to the Yad VaShem memorial museum, he added, “World leaders must act in time to avoid the fate of the Holocaust victims. We cannot allow those who are looking to cause mass death and threaten the Jewish State.”

The Bild newspaper was among those who purchased the blueprints and published their existence after an unidentified person found them last year in a Berlin apartment.

Yad VaShem chairman Avner Shalev and director of its archives, Chaim Gertner, were present at ceremony where the Bild publisher handed the documents to the prime minister.

The blueprints will be displayed at Yad VaShem in January 2010, marking 65 years since the liberation of Auschwitz. “As original plans detailing the construction of Auschwitz, where some one million Jews were murdered, these documents have great historical significance,” Shalev remarked. “They constitute concrete illustrations of the Germans’ systematic effort to carry out the ‘Final Solution’”, Shalev added, stating that the documents would be made available to researchers for years to come. The documents will be added to Yad VaShem’s archives, which currently holds over 125 million pages of Holocaust records.

The architectural plans, drawn on a 1:100 scale, show the addition of a gas chamber and crematorium, and a plan for a building to contain the corpses of the murdered Jews.

More than a million Jews and others deemed “sub-humans” by the Nazi regime were murdered at the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camps during the Holocaust.

Netanyahu is expected later in the day to visit the villa on the Wannsee Lake outside of Berlin, where Nazis adopted in January 1942 the “Final Solution to the Jewish Problem,” Germany’s plans for the extermination of Jews throughout the world.

The prime minister is culminating his visit with European leaders on Thursday, where he discussed Israel’s position on construction within Judea and Samaria and its delicate security situation, which he said could not be compromised in a final peace agreement with the Palestinian Authority.

Memo to U.N. Stop Muslims from Killing Christians

Law center urges prosecutions for 'scores' of deaths

Mobs have been lynching and murdering innocent people and looting and burning homes and businesses because of false claims of blasphemy and it needs to stop, a new petition is demanding of the United Nations.

The European Center for Law and Justice has filed a petition with the U.N.'s Special Rapporteurs seeking prosecutions in Pakistan for those responsible for the attacks and killings of Christians.

"We have expressed in the strongest terms possible that the Pakistani government must prosecute acts of violence based upon religion," said Jay Sekulow, chief counsel for the organization, as well as the U.S.-based American Center for Law and Justice.

"Christians are being singled out and murdered because of their faith. Only when the Pakistani government effectively prosecutes those responsible for the acts of violence will attacks against Christians end," he said.

WND reported just days ago on Muslims torching 50 homes and a church and murdering Christians in the Pakistani city of Gojra.

A report from the Centre for Legal Aid Assistance and Settlement, or CLAAS, revealed the assault happened during a protest by thousands of Muslim Islamists, including members of banned militant groups.

According to Compass Direct News, more than 500 Islamic extremists looted and set fire to another 60 homes in response to the same rumor of desecration of the Quran only two days earlier in the village of Korian.

Authorities said the violence erupted even though there was no proof that "blasphemy" took place.

"The 'blasphemy laws' that encourage the Muslim-on-Christian violence are not only abhorrent, but violate the principle of the universality of religious freedom, which is proclaimed to be an international human rights standard by Pakistan itself," Sekulow said.

The ECLJ is seeking for the U.N. to call on Pakistan to prosecute those guilty of the deadly attacks on Christians, which have claimed the lives of at least 60 Christians in recent years.

Jewish Growth Continues in Eastern Jerusalem
Aug 27th, 2009

The leftist organization Ir Amim (City of Nations) has some good news for Land of Israel-oriented Jews: 150 new housing units were “advanced” in the first half of 2009 in strategic locations in eastern Jerusalem.

Ir Amim released a report to this effect on Thursday morning. In addition to the 150 units slated to house some 750 Jews, the report documents “progress” on public construction such as synagogues, mikvaot (ritual baths) and cultural centers.

“Progress” in this context does not necessarily mean that the plans were approved, but Ir Amim director Yehudit Oppenheimer is concerned that the growth of Jewish presence to the north, east and south of the Old City will “thwart any chance of reaching a peace agreement.”

The report states that most of the activity towards increasing Jewish presence in these areas is carried out by private organizations such as Elad (the City of David association) and Ateret Cohanim. However, “it is part of a strategic approach done in coordination with the various governmental authorities, such as the Municipality of Jerusalem.”

Ir Amim “warns” that additional Jewish purchases of land in “sensitive” areas - such as Samir Amis and Beit Hanina in northern Jerusalem, as well as Jabel Mukabar, the Moslem quarter of the Old City, and elsewhere - may have been recently carried out.

One-Quarter of City of David: Jewish

The Ir David (City of David) area is located just below and to the south of the Temple Mount/Western Wall area, and was the site of the Jewish city of Jerusalem during the time of King David.  Another recent report by Ir Amim indicated that though no Jews lived there before 1991, the situation today is very different: Approximately a quarter of the entire area is lived in or owned by Jews.

Future plans, not yet approved, call for the construction of an archaeological-tourism park and Jewish housing in much of Ir David.

Israel ‘super Gas’ Field is World’s Largest in 18 Months

The Tamar gas field, 50 miles off the Haifa coast, keeps getting bigger with every report, and the gas discovery now is estimated to be the world’s largest in 18 months. The Scotland-based Wood Mackenzie research and consulting firm assessed the value of the field at $8 billion, approximately double that of local analysts.

The latest upside projection comes less than two weeks after another revised estimate that the reserves are 16 percent higher than previously thought.

Changing gas prices could make the gas worth anywhere between $3.5-$17 billion in the future, and partners in the offshore project are preparing for the first deliveries of gas in 2012. They have approved expenditures of $230 million for equipment and services to be provided by Noble Energy, a partner in the project, along with Israeli firms Delek Drilling, Avner Oil and Gas and Isramco.

The future impact of the gas field on the Israeli economy is enormous. "Few doubt that the country, which for decades has been dependent on importing nearly all of its energy needs, has entered a new era of far greater economic independence,” Business Week commented in its current issue.

Delek official Yitzchak Tshuva jubilantly announced after the discovery that Israel is on the road to energy independence. Tshuva and other project participants stated, "We have already sufficient Israeli natural gas to meet all of the country's needs for many years, and we intend to continue searching in our many franchises off the Israeli coast.”

The area of the gas discovery has largely been unexplored, leaving open the possibility of more finds, perhaps even of oil. Delek Drilling's Tzvi Greenfeld said, "If we find more gas, then there is a greater chance Israel will become an exporter."

Glenn Beck's Fear of Obama: Seize Power Overnight

Rush: 'Most dangerous time in my life for freedom and liberty in this country'

Will President Obama "seize power overnight" in a move to consolidate White House control of the U.S. government?

That's the fear of Fox News anchor Glenn Beck who discussed the issue at length today with another broadcasting powerhouse, radio's Rush Limbaugh.

"I fear this government, this administration has so much framework already prepared, that they will seize power overnight before anybody even gives it a second thought," Beck said.

His comment came as he was analyzing the changing nature of the media since Obama's election, citing the administration's close ties with the NBC network, owned by corporate

giant General Electric:

If you watch what could only be called the administration's organ – anything involved with GE or NBC – you've got [GE CEO] Jeffrey Immelt on the board of the Federal Reserve, you have him in the Oval Office consulting not only on health care, but the financial situation, and they are an organ.

If you watch MSNBC, I contend that you will see the future because they are laying the ground for a horrible event ... anything from the right, there's some awful event and I fear this government, this administration has so much framework already prepared, that they will seize power overnight before anybody even gives it a second thought.

The pair analyzed Obama's appointment of Mark Lloyd, the nation's first "chief diversity officer" at the Federal Communications Commission, and both agreed he is looking to severely limit free speech in America through a series of new initiatives without ever having to revive the "Fairness Doctrine" that was abandoned in 1985.

WND recently reported that Lloyd believes the policy was never actually repealed, and he is said to advocate crippling $250 million fines for radio stations whose programming does not meet with the government's approval. 

He's also reportedly pushing for private broadcasters to pay licensing fees equal to their total operating costs. That money would then be used to enhance funding of government-subsidized networks such as National Public Radio.

"Citizen access to popular information has been undermined by bad political decisions," Lloyd wrote in his 2006 book, "Prologue to a Farce: Communications and Democracy in America." "Corporate liberty has overwhelmed citizen equality."

"What they're trying to do here to communications is simply stifle dissenting voices. They're trying to wipe out any opposition," Limbaugh explained. "The things he's talking about doing to shut down radio are simply un-American. ... It is a dangerous time. It's the most dangerous time in my life for freedom and liberty in this country."

Limbaugh maintained every action thus far by Obama has been designed to intentionally hurt, rather than help the nation.

"Look at what they're doing to the U.S. economy," he said. "Anybody with a sense of economic literacy would know this is not how you create jobs. You do not rebuild the private sector. This is being done on purpose. All of these disasters are exactly what Obama wants. The more crises, the better. The more opportunity for government to say, 'Let us in and fix the problem.'"

Limbaugh responded, "I don't think they're going to be able to seize it overnight without anybody knowing about it."

A Palestinian Islamic judge says there is no history of Jews living in Jerusalem over the last 3000 years

The Palestinian Authority's chief Islamic judge, Sheik Rajab Tamimi, says that there is no evidence to back up the claims that Jews have ever lived in Jerusalem or that the Jewish temple ever existed and the sheik claimed that Israeli archaeologists have admitted that Jerusalem was never inhabited by Jews. The sheik's announcement was made in response to a recent statement by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu that Jerusalem is not a Jewish settlement and that Jews have been living in Jerusalem over the last 3000 years.

Tamimi accused Israel of distorting the facts and forging history with the aim of erasing the Arab and Islamic character of Jerusalem and launching an ethnic cleansing campaign to squeeze Arabs out of the city.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

For an Islamic cleric to deny the presence of Jewish people in Jerusalem dating back some 3ooo years ago is to negate the history of the Jewish Bible and Bible prophecy that will be fulfilled.

It seems difficult for me to believe that someone can make the statement that there has never been a Jewish presence in Jerusalem and on the Temple Mount - yet that is the statement of the chief Palestinian Islamic judge which seems to be coming from complete ignorance. In fact, there are a number of accounts of God's Word, the Bible, that challenges the declaration made by Sheik Rajab Tamimi.

The first such account is found in II Samuel 5 which records the capture of Jerusalem by King David, the second Jewish king. II Samuel 24:18 - 25 reports that King David also paid cash money to Ornan the Jebusite for his threshing floor on Mount Moriah, the Temple Mount, where the King wanted to offer sacrifice.

King Solomon built the first Jewish temple on Mount Moriah, the Temple Mount, some 3000 years ago (II Chronicles 3). Jews returning from the Babylonian Captivity rebuilt the temple in Jerusalem 2500 years ago (Ezra 1, 6). In fact, a Jewish man named Jesus Christ preached on the Temple Mount just outside the temple during his ministry in Jerusalem (Matthew 24:1-2).

Jewish history on the Temple Mount is certain and Bible prophecy about Jews and the city of Jerusalem are absolute - they will be fulfilled.
