“What a glorious day. Remember this moment!” Netanyahu entreated the applauding crowd. “President Trump, by recognizing history, you have made history. All of us are deeply moved. All of us are deeply grateful.”

“Last December, President Trump became the first world leader to recognize Jerusalem as our capital, and today, the United States of America is opening its embassy right here in Jerusalem,” Netanyahu said. “Thank you President Trump, for having the courage to keep your promises!”

“The US will always be a great friend of Israel and a partner in the cause of freedom and peace,” Trump said. “We extend a hand in friendship to Israel, the Palestinians and to all of their neighbors. May there be peace. May God bless this embassy. May God bless all who serve here and may God bless the United States of America.”

“By moving our embassy to Jerusalem, we have shown the world once again that the US can be trusted. We stand with our friends and our allies, and above all we’ve shown that the US will do what’s right, and so we have,” Kushner said.

“The US stands with Israel because we both believe in freedom. We stand together because we both believe in human rights. We stand together because we both believe that democracy is worth defending. And the US stands with Israel because we know that it’s the right thing to do.”

What’s the big deal about Israel’s 70th anniversary?

By 1 Comment

WASHINGTON – A new documentary about Israel’s 70th anniversary this spring, produced by an Arab-American Christian and an American messianic Jewish rabbi, makes the case this event is so significant that it touches everything we see, everyone we know, everything we can’t see and everyone we don’t know. In other words, it impacts EVERYTHING. That’s […]

“Israel is not just another nation in the world,” he says. “It’s not just the only Jewish state. It’s not just a unique people group with a long history going back thousands of years of triumph and tragedy, peace and persecution, status and statelessness. This movie makes the point that the history of Israel and its rebirth as a nation 70 years ago is evidence it is part of a mysterious divine script written at the dawn of Creation that affects the destiny of every person who has ever lived on Planet Earth – not to mention the fate of the Earth itself.”
– Joseph Farah

Joseph Farah and Jonathan Bernis of the television show “Jewish Voice,” Farah’s co-producer and presenter, invite you to see the movie for yourself to determine if these things are true.

Mark Twain explained the paradox of its people in an article in 1899 called “Concerning the Jews.”

“The Jews constitute but one percent of the human race,” he wrote. “Properly the Jew ought hardly to be heard of, but he is heard of, has always been heard of. … The Egyptian, the Babylonian, and the Persian rose, filled the planet with sound and splendor, then faded to dream-stuff and passed away; the Greek and the Roman followed, and made a vast noise, and they are gone; other people have sprung up and held their torch high for a time, but it burned out … The Jew saw them all, beat them all, and is now what he always was, exhibiting no decadence, no infirmities of age, no weakening of his parts, no slowing of his energies … All things are mortal, but the Jew; all other forces pass, but he remains. What is the secret of his immortality?”

In Middle East trip, Pence shows administration is unfazed by criticism of Jerusalem decision

By Leave a Comment

Pence “the U.S. Embassy will be moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem by the end of 2019”

Pence said he’s confident a single issue will not doom relationships with most allies.

A two-state solution is about one thing…the final destruction of Israel.  Peace is more likely with Jerusalem being recognized as the eternal, undivided capital of Israel.

Germany Refuses to Acknowledge that Dead Sea Scrolls Belong to Israel

By Leave a Comment

The Dead Sea Scrolls belong to IsraelBecause the Qumran Caves where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found in 1947 are located in what is now known the West Bank, government officials in Germany refuse to provide written assurances that the Dead Sea Scrolls would be protected from confiscation by the Palestinian Authority as their own.  The Scrolls have been scheduled to go on exhibit at Frankfurt’s Bible Museum since 2015 but will remain in Israel unless the German government reverses course and agrees to provide the required protections for these national treasures. The Palestinian Authority has attempted to claim ownership of the Dead Sea Scrolls and has been reportedly planning to demand that UNESCO order Israel to surrender the Scrolls, despite that fact that they are written in Hebrew and support the literal text of the Tanakh, or Old Testament as we know it today.

Will Nikki Haley Succeed in Reforming the UNHRC?

By Leave a Comment

In 1945, The United Nations replaced the ineffective League of Nations in hope of preventing another world war. The intention was honorable and in its inceptive years, the United Nations were very influential in a positive way. One example is without a doubt the vote in favor of declaring the State of Israel in 1948. It was both historic and prophetic. Much has happened in the last 70 years, and not always in favor of Israel. As a matter of fact, more resolutions have been passed against Israel at the United Nations than any other countries in the world. [Read more…]

“The sculpture, created by Russian Jewish artist Mark Antokolsky in 1876, is part of a collection of more than 150 artworks by 40 Jewish and Israeli artists who have used Christian imagery to challenge long-held taboos in both communities. It showcases the evolving attitudes of Jewish, Zionist and Israeli artists toward a figure whose place in Jewish history has been negotiated and reinterpreted over more than two millennia.”

‘God promised the land to the people of Israel’ says Pope Francis

By Leave a Comment

God promised the Holy Land to the people of Israel, Pope Francis said during a public address at the Vatican in Rome on Wednesday in a speech about migration.

“The people of Israel, who from Egypt, where they were enslaved, walked through the desert for forty years until they reached the land promised by God,” he said.

Pope Francis spoke just before granting a brief audience to Israeli Deputy Minister for Regional Cooperation Ayoub Kara to thank him for his efforts on behalf of the Church and Christians in Israel.

Kara told reporters he felt that the pontiff was sending a direct message to UNESCO, whose World Heritage Committee approved a resolution that ignored Jewish ties to the Temple Mount.

When he spoke with Pope Francis he thanked him for his statement acknowledging Israel’s rights to the Holy Land. He added that there is no question that the resolution is harmful to Christians and the Scriptures because it “distorts historical and theological facts.”

The resolution, Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein wrote, “is an assault on history and is deeply offensive to both Christianity and Judaism. The denial of the historicity of the two Jerusalem Temples and the Temple Mount as recounted in both the Old and New Testaments is a terrible indictment of the international community when repeatedly adopted by an important UN body.

“The outrageous repudiation of the millennia-old bond between Judaism and its holiest shrines in Jerusalem is a blatant attempt to rewrite history,” he added. “The annals of both our religions cannot be erased by raised hands and counted votes.”

If Arabs want to disavow the Jewish connection to the Temple Mount and Israel, they should take it one step further, she added: “If we were never here and Jesus was a Palestinian, then I suggest that UNESCO condemn the Palestinians for crucifying Jesus.”

The Jews Took the Land?

By Leave a Comment

The claim that “the Jews took the land” from the Palestinians is mere propaganda and is historically inaccurate.

There has never been a ‘country’ called #Palestine, with it’s own government, it’s own flag, it’s own currency, or anything else which defines a country. Nor has there has ever been an independent Islamic country in that area of the Middle East.

A #history of the land of ‘Palestine’, now known as #Eretz Ysrael (the #Land of Israel) is as follows:

  • In 1948, Israel was granted her independence from the British.
  • The British controlled land since 1917 when General Allenby captured the area from the Ottoman Turks.
  • The Ottoman Turks held the land since 1517, when they captured it from the Mamluke Sultanate.
  • The Mamluke captured the land from the Crusaders in 1291 (when Acre, the last Crusader foothold fell)
  • The Crusaders captured Jerusalem in 1099 from the Seljuk Turks forming the Kingdom of Jerusalem. This was perhaps the last time Palestine was independent. (Debate exists as to whether or not it was truly independent.)
  • The Seljuk Turks were one of numerous caliphates to control Palestine after defeating the Byzantine Empire in 638. The various caliphates ruled from Cairo, Damascus, and/or Baghdad.
  • The Byzantines held Palestine from 395 when the Roman Empire split. (except from 614-629 when the Persians held it.)
  • The Roman Empire captured Palestine in 37 BC when King Herod was placed as King of Israel (a Roman provincial puppet state).
  • Before the Romans held Palestine, it was an independent kingdom, the Hasmonean Dynasty for 103 years from 140-37 BC-a Jewish state.
  • Before the Hasmonean Dynasty, Palestine was ruled by the Ptolemaic Dynasty of Egypt from 323 BC. Before then it was Alexander the Great’s from 332 BC.
  • Before Alexander the Great, Palestine was ruled by the Persians from 539 BC.
  • In 597 King Nebuchadnezzar II captured Judea (the Southern Kingdom of Israel) for Babylon.
  • 720 BC, the Northern Kingdom fell to the Assyrians.
  • 930 BC, the Kingdom of the Israelites was divided into two independent nations; Judea and Israel.
  • 1000 BC, King David captured Jerusalem. This was the birth of the Kingdom of the Israelites
