carpentersdaughter2:God’s Word tells us that the Nations will burden themselves with Jerusalem and that they will divide the land. We are watching this prophecy move forward with the United Nations seeking to make a Palestinian State, and with our leader working hard to divide Jerusalem up, all for the sake of a so called peace deal.

I’ve been familiar with this woman for some time now. Her story is a remarkable one. She explains how she grew up Christian in Lebanon and what she and other Christians went through. America truly has no clue what is trying to rear it’s ugly head.
Her story is a graphic one. She warns us.
And to think our government is helping fund those who desire not only the downfall of other nations, but ours too!
Do not become so complacent that you think this can never happen in your own backyard.
The Church in America better wake up.

Israel, Jerusalem, Obama Israel 2 Comments
Knowing obama is a liar, imposter and a deceiver, I still forced myself to listen to some of his speech during his stay in Jerusalem. I could hear how he was trying his best to instigate the young people against the government. This man sows discord among the nations wherever he goes. Very subtle, never-the-less, the same methods right out of Saul Alinskey’s Rules for Radical. You can do your own search on Alinskey or you can find some info here:

I’m not very familiar with the following site, but, I found truth.
http://thegoldenreport.net/?p=697
The same deceitful lies the Devil mixed with Scriptures on the Mount of Temptation is being played out today in Israel by Obama. To say Obama is two faced would be a compliment because he is far worse, he is terribly evil. To watch Shimon Peres give Obama the highest civilian honor that is bestrode on a civilian was a picture to remember and it reminds me of the Obama Noble Peace Prize. And then to hear Peres say to Obama, “Welcome Home” what did he mean by that? I will allow your own ability to discern the spirits that is behind all of this evil insanity.
Obama’s main speech was to University students here in Israel, but one University was not invited Ariel University located in Samaria (West Bank), you might wonder why they were not invited, the answer is simple, they consist mostly of young Zionist Jews, while the others have a large “Palestinian” population and many foreign students who have symphony with the “pro Palestinian statements, this explains all of the applauds every time Obama said anything in support of dividing Israel with a Palestinian State.
Netanyahu’s act of support and friendship with Obama was enough to make any intelligent person sick. It was understandable and even expected to see Peres embrace Obama but not so easy to understand Netanyahu who has just been reelected and his two largest coalition partners are pro settlement and pro Zionist. It will now be harder than ever for Netanyahu to move towards stopping settlement growth much less moving them out of Judea and Samaria.
We are now hearing from the Supreme Leader of Iran the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei that he will destroy Tel-Aviv and flatten Haifa if Israel attacks Iran’s nuclear plants. We are also hearing more hatred pour out of Iran towards the USA, stating that America is the real problem not Israel, and they will attack America as well. At the same time Iran’s friend North Korea is threatening to bomb the US.
We now have seen the use of chemical weapons in Syria, most likely a false flag operation trying to make the world believe Assad ordered it, when in fact the Islamic terrorists are more then capable of killing other Muslims, in fact, they kill more Muslims than any one else. What Israel is now forced to do is build a large IDF presence on the Syrian border in the Golan Heights as the so-called rebels come closer every day and sending an occasional rocket into Israel always claiming it was a mistake.
Hezbollah has done all they can do to destroy democracy in Lebanon and now have joined the Islamic Terrorist forces in Syria to take over that country as well. As usual American is coming down on the wrong side of the fight in favor of the Islamist terrorists, when the alternative being the mass murderer Assad. It’s the old case of the lesser of two evils.
Back to the Obama visit, along with all the problems Israel faces for its very survival we now have Obama standing in front of an Israeli college and university students, inciting them to come against the Israeli government, that is called incitement but I still haven’t heard that word used in regards to his speech, we should be hearing it, but we are talking about Obama and there always seems to be a new set of rules when it come to the media and Obama even in Israel.
I will close with this, it now seems that what everyone in the knowledge of God’s Word will be watching to see is what happens now to the US after Obama has made a strong case for dividing Israel. Will it be floods, fires, horrible weather or earthquakes, or a combination, and there is the very real possibility of an nuclear attack. One thing is certain God cannot lie, Gen. 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

Why am I not surprised?
Full article here:
Reminding an audience of Israeli university students that the United States is their country’s best friend and most important ally, Obama said the U.S. will never back down on its commitment to Israel’s defense, particularly against threats such as the one posed by Iran and its nuclear program.
“As long as there is a United States of America, you are not alone,” he told a packed audience of university students who erupted frequently with applause and standing ovations at Jerusalem’s convention center
Yeah, sure. As he wants to try and assure the whole world America has Israel’s back, he will turn on them at some point. You watch and see. obama’s father is the devil and his father is the father of every lie.
Bride of Christ, can you see how God has to get America out of the way?
Israel must come to the place of realizing the only thing that can save them, is their Messiah. They look for Him. We as Christians believe He has already come, being born of a virgin, died on a cross for the sins of the world, rising from the dead. The perfect sacrifice. As Israel still await their Messiah, we as Christians look for Him too. However, we know the one who will step foot in Jerusalem, who will speak great smooth words of “peace and safety” will not be “the one.” He will be an imposter. Many will bow to him, but the Christian with discernment will not.
For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. — 1 Thessalonians 5:2 – 4 –
A Seat for the Pope at King David’s Tomb

Great appreciation for denile for making me aware of this one: http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/12814
First published February 1, 2013. Article written by: Giulio Meotti:
Emphasis are mine
Israel seems to have sold Jerusalem to the Vatican.
An historic agreement has been drafted between Israel and the Vatican. The Israeli authorities have granted the Pope an official seat in the room where the Last Supper is believed to have taken place, on Mount Zion in Jerusalem, and where David and Solomon, Jewish kings of Judea, are considered by some researchers, to also be buried.
It is the culmination of a long campaign by the Catholic Church to regain religious stewardship over the place where Jesus is supposed to have broken bread and drunk wine with his disciples on the eve of his crucifixion.
This is an enormous issue pushed through without any public debate.
According to our sources, the agreement, which is expected to be ratified next June, gives the Pope a “special authority” over the second floor of the building, so that Christian pilgrims will be able to celebrate religious functions like Pope John Paul did in 2000.
The agreement constitutes Israel’s capitulation to the Vatican’s efforts to “Christianize” the holy site, like when a Catholic convent was built in Auschwitz.
The Catholic Church has long wanted control over part of the area on Mt. Zion so as to turn it into an international religious center for Catholics. The blueprint of the agreement reads as follows: “The Vatican hands over this use of the Cenacle to the Custody of the Holy Land which will keep the Cenacle open from 6 AM to 8 AM for the celebration of the Holy Mass”.
In the long term, the gesture will increase tensions between Jews and the large assets of the Vatican. The Church has long been working to reduce Jewish rights in Jerusalem and in the Old City. Now, after the Muslim Waqf authority expelled the Christians from the Temple Mount and turned it into a mosque, it’s the turn of the Vatican to lay its hands on the Jewish Jerusalem.
The Custody of the Holy Land, the Franciscan order who, with Vatican approval, is in charge of the holy sites, campaigns with the Arabs against Israel.
As far back as May 2000, Yasser Arafat met Islamic and Christian clergymen at the presidential offices in Ramallah to back Palestinian Arab sovereignty over Jerusalem. Among the clergymen who attended the meeting, Diodoros I, patriarch of the Greek Orthodox Church, Torkom II, patriarch of the Armenian Orthodox Church, Catholic Patriarch Michel Sabbah and officials from the Custody of the Holy Land.
“An official meeting took place in Ramallah, Palestine, at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the State of Palestine”. This is the official note of the Vatican press office about the meeting between the Catholic officials and the PLO representatives which took place this week.
The Vatican is also asking that Israel hand over to the Vatican’s control dozens of sites, 19 in Judea and Samaria and 28 in Jerusalem. The Catholic Church want to discuss some properties on Mount of Olives, Har Hazeitim, which is the very history of the Jewish people. If you want to keep Jerusalem united, you have to keep Har Hazeitim. The Vatican knows that.
In 1989 charges were made by the Catholic authorities that Israel desecrated the Cenacle on Mount Zion. The charges, which appeared in the Italian bishops’ newspaper Avvenire, said that the Israelis put a memorial plaque on the roof of the Cenacle. The plaque was put in place after the 1948 War of Independence in memory of soldiers who fell in the Old City and whose burial place was unknown. Every year, the bereaved families cleaned the plaque.
HOW HYPOCRITICAL of the Catholic church make such a big deal over a simple plaque when they have done this!:
http://redeemedhippiesplace.wordpress.com/2013/03/20/skull-duggery-in-the-catholic-church/
Hey Rome, here is a newsflash for you: You do not own the land of Israel. How about cleaning up your own filthy abomnible institution before sticking your nose in someone else’s buisness?
Why did the Catholic authorities complain? Last year a similar charge was made from the Catholic authorities that Israel wants to “Judaize” Mount Zion.
Should the Vatican gain sovereignty over Mount of Zion, millions of Christian pilgrims will flock to the site, and this will threaten the Israeli presence in the Old City’s Jewish Quarter and Jewish access to the Western Wall.
The Vatican wants the Jews out of the Old City and apparently Israel’s government is agreeing with them. Turning the Cenacle into an active church is also a way of desecrating the holiness of the site known as the Tomb of David.
The Vatican and the Palestinian Liberation Organisation expressed a common position in the Basic Agreement of 15 February 2000, intended to support the recognition of a special statute for the City of Jerusalem. In the memorandum, signed by Vatican officials and the PLO, an organization dedicated to the mass deportation of Israel’s Jews, the Catholic Church wants Israel relinquishing sovereignty at the Western Wall and the Temple Mount. The Vatican-PLO agreement’s preamble on Jerusalem shows that the Vatican’s attitude on Israel’s capital is still stuck in the unforgivable anti-Semitic rhetoric of the 1940s.
Until 1948, Christian access to the Cenacle was severely limited, because it was used as a mosque. Since then, the State of Israel is committed to protecting the holy places of all religions, and guaranteeing the right of worship for all faiths.
But no Israeli government must tolerate any policy of division, “shared control” or “internationalization” that opens the door to a return to the Arab apartheid of Jordanian occupation between 1948 and 1967.
Jerusalem is not for sale. For thousands of years, the Cenacle area was almost always totally closed off to Jews.
Sovereignty over Mount Zion is politics, not only religion. The day after the Pope celebrated a mass on Mt. Zion in 2000, he went to Yasser Arafat headquarter to support the Palestinians’ right to return.
A few months later, the Oslo war began. And Jews were sacrified again on the altar of “peace”. It was their last supper.
This week, the Vatican in its official documents began referring to the “State of Palestine”.
I believe it is possible the man of lawlessness, the son of perdition will soon be revealed. And I believe the Roman Catholic church will have it’s hands all over it. We will see.
The Vatican Agenda: How Does The Vatican View The Legitimacy of Israel’s Claims To Jerusalem?
March 20, 2013
Anti-christ, Catholicism, Israel, Jerusalem Israel 5 Comments
I just heard a local talk radio show host refer to how Obama has changed the map of Israel. She also spoke on how obama desires to have Jerusalem to be an international city, meaning the United Nations would rule. Below link:
It even appears he refuses to recognize Jerusalem as the above link expresses: The itinerary on the White House website also implies that Jerusalem is neither Israel’s capital nor even part of Israel.
How anti-christ like.
That being said, I found the following. It appears to be written some time ago, however, I find it no coincidence with what is happening today:
http://www.redmoonrising.com/chamish/vaticanagenda.htm
By Joel Bainerman
Most Israelis have probably never thought very much about what the Roman Catholic Church/The Vatican thinks about “end of days” theology. Jews themselves don’t give much thought to what will happen when “Gog and Magog” takes place. Jews don’t go in for anything the least bit “next world” but instead are firmly planted in the here and know. That’s good.
However it doesn’t matter what Jews think, what matters is what The Vatican believes, and why it believes this. Judaism, and modern Jewish thought pretty much just dismisses the basic tenets of Catholicism outright and doesn’t even bother addressing the core questions of what is behind “Catholic theological claims.”
Instead of taking what they believe seriously, we tend to snicker amongst ourselves when we see those pictures of obscure rituals and ceremonies, and think the whole religion is near pagan-like with the “eating of Holy Wafers” and “sprinkling of Baptism water” on people’s heads. That may be true, but that doesn’t matter. What matters is what they believe and what they plan to do about making their beliefs become a reality.
The institution of “The Vatican” is not understood by Israelis and Jews. The conventional wisdom you get from the spokespersons in Israeli government ministries and the conventional Israeli media is “both sides have great intentions to do good” and that’s about it. When it comes to Israel’s bi-lateral affairs, nothing much gets investigated by the Israeli media. Thus a secret deal could be done between the Vatican and the State of Israel and nobody in Israel would ever find out about it.
In fact, that is exactly what happened.
This essay will provide the background to that deal, as well as what the Vatican’s intentions are regarding Israel and The Old City Of Jerusalem. It will reveal which Israeli politicians made certain commitments to The Vatican regarding the issue of sovereignty in the Old City of Jerusalem. These negotiations and meetings were all carried out in secret. During this time period, 1992-l995, the Oslo Accords was what got all the public’s attention. Oslo was like “throwing sand in the eyes” of the public. The Vatican is where the real action was happening. Oslo seemed to be just the cover story. A “red herring”, if you will.
What Does The Vatican Want?
It can’t be that the Vatican is only interested in “access to their Holy Sites” in Jerusalem. They already have that as well as legal jurisdiction under Israeli law for their institutions and assets in Jerusalem. Also, when these “Holy Sites” were under the jurisdiction of the Jordanians from l948-l967, no Pope demanded the “internationalization of Jerusalem”.
It is something else, which the Vatican wants. The Roman Catholic Church, need to have certain versions of events be played out for them to stand in front of mankind and proclaim: our Messiah has returned.” Of course, to the Jews, this Messiah will be as false as the first one was supposed to be. Don’t matter. This is the goal of the Vatican and this is what all Israelis need to worry about.
The Vatican/Roman Catholic’s version of events is this:
They know this isn’t the end of the story that the Jewish G-d had in mind, but that doesn’t mean they won’t try and engineer their own ending to the story. So what if it is fraudulent. Doesn’t matter, that is their game plan and that is what matters and that is what Israeli Jews need to be better informed about. It is important for everyone to know what The Vatican have up its sleeve because it directly relates to our existence and our future destiny as an independent nation. This a very powerful force this is scheming to get control of the Old City of Jerusalem so you better know why and how the Vatican intends to do this. Once you have all the facts and the chronological record you will be better informed deal with this issue and of foreign control over Israel’s political existence and destiny.
First, you have to realize that for centuries The Vatican has attempted to obtain control of Jerusalem, which started with the Crusades. For them to convince the world that the Messiah they put on the world’s stage is going to be accepted as genuine, they need to perform this play in the Old City. The story of this production is that this “Messiah” will merge the three monotheistic religions, usher in peace and harmony in the world, and solve the Middle East conflict. The location for this “production” will be in none other than the Old City of Jerusalem.
This so-called “Messiah” that will be proclaimed, will be a false one and it will insist that by having a “world government” (i.e., the United Nations) the world peace and harmony will be ushered in. This will be a lie, and a fraud, but never mind. In our world, reality isn’t important. Public perceptions are. The end result is the stripping of Israel’s sovereignty as an independent nation giving way to a “regional bloc of nations” in the Middle East. Israel will be pressured to accede to these demands by all world bodies and the superpowers on the claim that “this is the only way to solve the Middle East conflict). In order to the Jews to go along they will convince them that with the “Messiah” having appeared for the Jews, it is time to start rebuilding the Third Temple- what they call “Solomon’s Temple”. This version of events is widely available through a simple search on the Internet as there are many Christian groups and organizations (the majority of which who are very pro-Israel) who don’t buy into these beliefs and thus are against them. I didn’t come up with the theory- I am just brining it to the attention of the Israeli public.
Make no mistake about it. The Old City of Jerusalem, as well as most of the eastern half of the city, is what The Vatican is after.
Why?
Because controlling the entire Old City of Jerusalem (and not just Church properties) and being able to build whatever they want on Mount Zion is critical for the program they have planned to put into play in our capital city. The deal that it has signed with Israel via Yossi Beilin and Shimon Peres (in secret and without the approval of the Knesset) gives The Church not only extraterritorial status to their properties (which is what the bi-lateral agreement the Israeli government signed with the Vatican on December 30th, 1993, put in law) but of control over the entire city as “custodians” under UN presence. In this way the Jews will give up control over the Old City. To the Vatican the Israeli people would have a problem with. To the UN, they would say, “we had no choice”.

Yedida Freilich: Only Israel
July 2, 2010
O Israel, trust in the LORD!
The Futility of Idols and the Trustworthiness of God
Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us,
But to Your name give glory,
Because of Your mercy,
Because of Your truth.
Why should the Gentiles say,
“So where is their God?”
But our God is in heaven;
He does whatever He pleases.
Their idols are silver and gold,
The work of men’s hands.
They have mouths, but they do not speak;
Eyes they have, but they do not see;
They have ears, but they do not hear;
Noses they have, but they do not smell;
They have hands, but they do not handle;
Feet they have, but they do not walk;
Nor do they mutter through their throat.
Those who make them are like them;
So is everyone who trusts in them.
O Israel, trust in the LORD;
He is their help and their shield.
O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD;
He is their help and their shield.
You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD;
He is their help and their shield.
The LORD has been mindful of us;
He will bless us;
He will bless the house of Israel;
He will bless the house of Aaron.
He will bless those who fear the LORD,
Both small and great.
May the LORD give you increase more and more,
You and your children.
May you be blessed by the LORD,
Who made heaven and earth.
The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’s;
But the earth He has given to the children of men.
The dead do not praise the LORD,
Nor any who go down into silence.
But we will bless the LORD
From this time forth and forevermore.
Praise the LORD! — Psalm 115 –
For the record: If anyone desires to come here and spout off Replacement Theology — forget it. It is not welcomed here. Salvation is of the Jews and we Christians were adopted, grafted into the vine. Thank you, Jesus!

Discovery of Natural Gas in Israel is a World-class Game Changer
June 26, 2010
http://www.greenprophet.com/2010/06/22/23026/natural-gas-israel-3/
The massive natural gas find in Israel and political tensions with Turkey, could put Turkey out of the energy story with Israel. It’s a big deal, says Washington based energy analyst Gal Luft.
A door has been closed. But amid the roar, the creak of an opening window was faintly audible. This window, a gigantic deposit of natural gas called Leviathan, 6.5 times the size of Tel Aviv, was found, roughly 100 nautical miles from where the flotilla fiasco took place and well within Israel’s extended territorial waters.
An old adage says that when God closes a door, somewhere he opens a window. To most people, the events off the coast of Gaza marked a sharp decline in Israel’s strategic posture. The Mavi Marmara incident sparked international condemnation and delivered what may have been a death blow to Jerusalem’s already precarious relations with Turkey. For decades that country was Israel’s closest ally in the Muslim world, but since the election of Recep Tayyip Erdogan, it is increasingly in the thrall of fundamentalist Islam.
A door has been closed. But amid the roar, the creak of an opening window was faintly audible. This window, a gigantic deposit of natural gas called Leviathan, 6.5 times the size of Tel Aviv, was found, roughly 100 nautical miles from where the flotilla fiasco took place and well within Israel’s extended territorial waters.
This discovery may provide Israel with security in terms of its supply of electricity, turn it into an important natural gas exporter and provide a shot in the arm of some $300 billion over the life of the field – one-and-a-half times the national GDP – to the Israeli economy, already one of the most resilient in the world.
More importantly, this discovery is nothing short of a geopolitical game changer. To understand its magnitude, consider this: The world’s biggest gas discovery in 2009, 238 billion cubic meters, was made by a US-Israel consortium at a site called Tamar, 60 miles off the coast of Haifa. The nearby Leviathan field is estimated to be twice that size.
Altogether the basin in the eastern Mediterranean to which those fields belong could contain an amount of gas equivalent to one-fifth of U.S. natural gas reserves. For a small country like Israel, such a bonanza could not have come at a better time.
Until recently, Israel was facing an energy predicament. Its fast-growing population – and the even faster-growing Palestinian Arab population to which it also supplies electricity – and the declining reserves of Egypt, its main gas supplier, required the identification of new sources of gas for electricity production.
One alternative was to import natural gas from Russia and the Caspian Sea via Turkey. To this end, Turkey and Israel negotiated the construction of a subsea pipeline. But with the deterioration of their relations, this option gradually became unfeasible. Another option was to import gas from Qatar, hardly a reliable supplier. Yet a third, more costly, possibility was construction of a liquefied natural gas terminal, which would enable imports from various suppliers.
The discoveries at Tamar and Leviathan solved the problem: Israel will no longer have to import natural gas. Its dilemma now, rather, is deciding where to export the excess and how to reap the most geopolitical gains from its new status as an energy exporter.
Geographically, the most natural market is Europe, where any non-Russian gas is more than welcome. There are three ways for Israel to access this market. The first is to construct a pipeline to Turkey, where Israeli gas would join product from the Caspian region en route to Central Europe. This option is highly unlikely to be realized in the current atmosphere of Israel-Turkey relations.
Alternately, and more likely, Israel could construct a pipeline to Greece via Cyprus or pipe it inland, liquefy it and export it to any European liquefied natural gas terminal by sea. Europe is not the only potential market in such a scenario. Once liquefied, Israeli gas could be directed to China, South Korea and Japan, which collectively consume more than half of the world’s LNG.
From a geopolitical standpoint, gas exports to India would be most beneficial to Israel. With hundreds of millions of its citizens facing energy poverty, India urgently needs reliable natural gas suppliers. One option for that country is to join the Iran-Pakistan pipeline – a project aimed at connecting Pakistan to Iran’s South Pars field by 2014. Should India decide to extend the pipeline, it will become beholden to Iranian gas for decades to come, to the detriment of Western efforts to weaken Iran economically.
Alternately, should India decide to construct LNG terminals along its coast, it will be able to import natural gas from Israel as well as other exporters, like Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
The creation of an energy corridor from Israel to the Indian subcontinent would mean that Israel would have to retrofit the existing 150-mile oil pipeline linking the Red Sea port of Eilat with the Mediterranean port of Ashkelon. Once this pipeline commences operation, Russian and Caspian natural gas could reach the Asian markets as well.
Ironically, the biggest casualty of such an energy corridor will be none other than Turkey, which now enjoys an unchallenged status as an energy bridge between East and West. Energy transit fees are an important source of income to the Turkish economy.
In the coming years, Israel will have to decide whether to direct its gas to Asia or to compete with Turkey over access to the European gas market. Should it choose the latter, Turkish-Israeli relations will remain in rough seas.
11 American WARSHIPS with Israel Warships in Suez!
June 20, 2010
What does this mean and why are we not being told? While we are focused on the Gulf and the catastrophe that may be unfolding there, we have warships in the Suez. If this means war, then WHO are we going to war against?! This can’t be good.
We will hear of wars and rumors of wars but we must not let our hearts be troubled. A false savior will arise at some point out of this mess going on in the world. May we look to our Lord and Savior — Jesus Christ, the Only begotten son of God; the sacrificial Lamb who will come back and judge the nations and mankind!
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/138164
Egypt allowed at least one Israeli and 11 American warships to pass through the Suez Canal as an Iranian flotilla approaches Gaza. Egypt closed the canal to protect the ships with thousands of soldiers, according to the British-based Arabic language newspaper Al Quds al-Arabi.
One day prior to the report on Saturday, Voice of Israel government radio reported that the Egyptian government denied an Israeli request not to allow the Iranian flotilla to use the Suez Canal to reach Gaza, in violation of the Israeli sea embargo on the Hamas-controlled area.
International agreements require Egypt to keep the Suez open even for warships, but the armada, led by the USS Truman with 5,000 sailors and marines, was the largest in years. Egypt closed the canal to fishing and other boats as the armada moved through the strategic passageway that connects the Red and Mediterranean Seas.
Despite Egypt’s reported refusal to block the canal to Iranian boats, the clearance for the American-Israeli fleet may be a warning to Iran it may face military opposition if the Iranian Red Crescent ship continues on course to Gaza.
The warships may exercise the right to inspect the Iranian boat for the illegal transport or weapons. Newsweek reported that Egyptian authorities could stop the ship for weeks, using technicalities such as requiring that any official documents be translated from Farsi into Arabic.
The magazine’s website also reported that the Iranian navy is the weakest part of its armed forces. Tehran has already backed down from announced intentions to escort the Iranian ships with “volunteer marines” from the Iranian Revolutionary Guards.
The Iranian news site Hamsayeh.net reported, “The move might be in connection to U.S. self-inflicted embargo against Iran aimed at inspecting Iran bound ships for suspected goods related to the country’s nuclear program.”
Another battle on the high seas may involve one, and possibly two, Lebanese vessels that are aimed at challenging Israel’s sovereignty over the Gaza coastal waters. Hizbullah, gearing up for a reaction to a possible clash between the Israeli Navy (pictured) and the Lebanese boats, has delayed rocket units near Lebanese ports, according to unofficial military sources.
Israel has warned U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon that Israel will use force, if necessary, to stop the boats, one of which is carrying approximately 70 women passengers and crew organized by Hizbullah support Samar al-Hajj. Her husband is one of several jailed suspects involved in the assassination for former Lebanese anti-Syrian Prime Rafik Hariri.
Hizbullah has denied it is connected with the Lebanese flotilla, but it has been reported that Al Hajj met with Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah last month. (IsraelNationalNews.com)
Report: American and Israeli battleships cross Suez Canal
June 20, 2010
London-based al-Quds al-Arabi newspaper reported today that eleven American battleships and an Israeli one crossed the Suez Canal Friday en route to the Red Sea.
According to the report, Egyptian soldiers numbering in the thousands had been deployed along the Suez Canal to guard the ships’ passage, which included a U.S. aircraft carrier.
The report stated that ‘The Suez Canal Traffic had been disrupted for hours in the morning during the crossing of a giant U.S. Navy aircraft carrier, which includes soldiers, ships and infantry, armor and ammunition, coming from the Mediterranean Sea on its way to the Red Sea’.
Members of the opposition party in Egypt said they would not be silent while U.S. and Israeli forces are being allowed passage through Egyptian territorial waters.
Observers said the passage of warships included some of the largest seen in several years
The Suez Canal that connects the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea is owned and maintained by the Suez Canal Authority of the Arab Republic of Egypt. Under international treaty, it may be used “in time of war as in time of peace, by every vessel of commerce or of war, without distinction of flag.”
There has been neither any confirmation or denial of the report by a U.S or Israeli official.
BARBRA STREISAND talks to GOLDA MEIR and Sings Hatikvah
June 14, 2010
Barbara Streisand talked with Golda Meir during the 1978 network broadcast of The Stars Salute Israel at 30 years. Streisand then sings Hatikvah, Israel’s national anthem.
Look how things have changed? Now, we have Hollywood — perhaps, Streisand included — who have no love for Israel at all. Israel; America’s friend and the apple of God’s eye. The world will turn against this tiny nation, but God will war against it’s enemies.
Oh how far we have strayed.
Israel, may the God of your Father’s protect you and guide you. Shalom.

Obama (an ANTI-CHRIST) to Back U.N. Investigation of Israel (6.11.10)

We can see where this is going. Won’t it be interesting IF at some point, Obama fakes (yes, FAKES, because this man is an obvious ANTI-CHRIST!) a peace treaty with Israel?
OmniChristianVids2 — June 11, 2010 — Fox News is reporting that President will support a United Nations investigation of the Israel and its military raid on a ship carrying pro-Palestinian activists intent on breaking a blockade on the Gaza coast last week.
If there was any doubt as to whether or not Obama has officially turned his back on Israel, I think this settles it.
U.N. rebukes of Israel permitted in U.S. policy shift

Under President Barack Obama, the United States no longer provides Israel with automatic support at the United Nations where the Jewish state faces a constant barrage of criticism and condemnation.
The subtle but noticeable shift in the U.S. approach to its Middle East ally comes amid what some analysts describe as one of the most serious crises in U.S.-Israeli relations in years.
Under Obama, the United States seeks to reclaim its role as an impartial Middle East peace broker which critics say it lost during the previous administration of George W. Bush.
“Israel became used to unconditional support of the United States during eight years of the Bush administration,” said Marina Ottaway, director of the Middle East Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington.
She said Bush’s “extreme position” makes even mild criticism appear dramatic to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his cabinet.
However, Washington continues to block what it sees as efforts to use the United Nations as a forum for bashing Israel — which one U.S. official told Reuters was “nine out of 10 initiatives regarding Israel in New York.”
Obama has also pushed hard to get a fourth round of U.N. Security Council sanctions against Tehran over its nuclear program, which Israel sees as its top security threats. A vote on new Iran sanctions is expected this week.
“There have been slight changes (in U.S.-Israeli ties), but they’ve caused a disproportionate reaction on the part of Israel,” said Ottaway. “We haven’t seen any drastic changes.”
Last week the United States backed a Security Council statement on Israel’s commando raid on an aid flotilla that tried to break Israel’s blockade of the Gaza Strip. Nine people on one of the ships were killed in the action.
The statement regretted the loss of life and demanded a “prompt, impartial, credible and transparent investigation conforming to international standards.
Washington, U.N. diplomats and U.S. officials said, worked hard to dilute the text so the 15-nation council did not call for an independent investigation and to ensure it did not explicitly criticize Israel.
UNITED NATIONS “LYNCH MOB”?
Israel was still unhappy with the statement and its supporters accused Obama of abandoning the Jewish state.
In an article called “Joining the jackals,” Elliott Abrams, who advised two Republican administrations and is now at the Council on Foreign Relations, accused Obama of exposing Israel to a virtual U.N. “lynch mob.”
“The White House did not wish to stand with Israel against this mob because it does not have a policy of solidarity with Israel,” Abrams said. “Rather, its policy is one of distancing and pressure.”
Abrams also criticized the White House over the recent five-year review conference of signatories to the 1970 nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) that Israel, like nuclear-armed Pakistan and India, has never signed.
Washington backed a call for a 2012 meeting of all countries in the Middle East to discuss making the region a zone free of nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction — a plan originally proposed by Egypt with Arab backing to add pressure on Israel to give up its nuclear weapons.
After allowing it to pass, the U.S. delegation criticized the NPT final declaration for “singling out” Israel, which neither confirms nor denies having atomic weapons.
This statement did not satisfy commentators like Abrams, who said Obama had “abandoned Israel in the U.N. and in the NPT conference in the course of one week.”
Some analysts say Washington wants to improve ties with Arab nations and regain lost status as a neutral peace arbiter while being careful not to alienate pro-Israel voters.
“During the George W. Bush years, Washington’s automatic siding with Israel on any issue seriously eroded what had been America’s long-standing posture as an honest broker in the Middle East,” said Mark Fitzpatrick of the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London.
“Obama has been trying to reclaim that status, while keeping in mind the domestic political need of not being seen as anti-Israel,” he said.
Outside the United Nations, analysts say Obama tried to ease strains with Netanyahu after tensions spiked earlier this year over Jewish settlement construction on occupied Palestinian land.
He coaxed Israel into indirect talks with the Palestinians, his biggest tangible achievement in Middle East diplomacy.
But an Israeli official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the jury is still out on the Obama administration’s approach to the Jewish state.
“It’s still difficult to decipher the intentions behind the changing U.S. policy at the United Nations, and not just in regard to the Middle East,” the official said.
“If the Americans are convinced that, through adopting a softer approach … they will achieve support from countries that heretofore opposed their policy — they will discover that they are wrong,” the official added.
AMAZING ISRAEL PROPHECY – Are We Entering “The Time Of The END?”

Church just think of all those before us, who wanted to live to see this day! Is it truly upon us!?
The Destruction of Jerusalem
Yeshus Jesus said concerning the last days: “But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of her depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her. For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people. And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
Redeemedhippie:[Have we reached that point in history?!]
The Coming of the Son of Man
“And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. THEN they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.” — LUKE 21: 20-28 –
LORD, COME QUICKLY! PREPARE YOUR PEOPLE, Oh LORD! May each of us work out our salvation with fear and trembling!

Can anything good come out of Los Angeles?
June 7, 2010
When I consider how the state of California has the likes of Nancy Peloisi, my heart is gladdened by the fact that there are still many good people there.
Maybe this is something we all can do? Perhaps call the nearest synagouge and ask if they are planning any rallies and get involoved.
OmniChristianVids2 — June 06, 2010 — Thousands of people gathered today in Los Angeles to show their support for the great nation of Israel.
MUST SEE! The Miracle of Israel

End Times Countdown, Israel End Times, Israel 2 Comments
The title of the video is: Astounding! ISRAEL IN THE NEWS! – Is The “Gog and Magog” Prophecy Upon Us?
Yet, I found it more accurate to call it, “The Miracle of Israel.” For the nations do not make war against a mere nation. They make war against God Himself. God WILL confound the enemies of Israel. God WILL help them in time of need. God WILL defend Israel!
Bride of Christ, be watchful, our redemption draws near! Come quickly Lord Jesus! Reveal Yourself to your chosen, both gentile and Jew, that you should receive honor and glory among the nations! For there is none like you, oh Lord!
Do not keep silent, O God!
Do not hold Your peace,
And do not be still, O God!
For behold, Your enemies make a tumult;
And those who hate You have lifted up their head.
They have taken crafty counsel against Your people,
And consulted together against Your sheltered ones.
They have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation,
That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”
For they have consulted together with one consent;
They form a confederacy against You:
The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites;
Moab and the Hagrites;
Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek;
Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
Assyria also has joined with them;
They have helped the children of Lot. Selah — PSALM 83: 1-8 –

Is it any surprise, really?! What can you expect when a communist who from the moment he stunk up the whitehouse by his mere presence, has done nothing but betray this nation and our people!

Israel official ties president’s adviser to controversial ‘Free Gaza Movement’
A top adviser to President Obama is the contact person within the White House for communications with the Free Gaza Movement over plans to challenge Israel’s blockade of the terrorist Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip, according to a reputable source close to the Netanyahu government.
Redeemedhippie:[I don't know about anyone else and I really do not care, but I believe Netanyahu over the whitehouse. You have one leader who could care less about his country and the people in it, by allowing illegals to come in and take control of it in Arizona, then there is another leader who actually has some real guts in believing he is to protect his people. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to know which is the better man to his nation!]
The source, a career official whose reliability was established through his tips for the book, “Why Israel Can’t Wait,” identified John O. Brennan, deputy national security adviser for homeland security and counterterrorism, as the contact.
The allegation raises the bizarre possibility that the Free Gaza Movement’s flotilla action in the Mediterranean was being coordinated with the White House, something that would align with a shift in U.S. policy toward Israel being debated within the Obama administration.
Redeemedhippie:[Obama traitor, not only to the American people, but to a nation that has been a friend.]
Mike Hammer, a National Security Council spokesman, told WND flatly the report “is not true.”
His response was followed quickly by another denial, when WND asked if Hammer also rejected the claim Brennan was a key force within the White House pushing for a change in U.S. policy toward Israel in demanding an end to the blockade, as the WND source reported.
“John Brennan is quite busy in his job as the president’s counterterrorism and homeland security adviser, relentlessly working to keep the country safe,” Hammer said in a e-mail to WND. “The administration has others who are responsible for our Middle East policy. So, again, not true.”
However, Brennan’s activities in his “counterterrorism” work have involved him in situations with domestic groups known to have ties to Middle East terrorism.
WND previously has reported that Brennan participated in a meeting with Muslim law students, facilitated by the Islamic Society of North America, a group that was named an unindicted co-conspirator in a case where the founders of the Holy Land Foundation of Texas were given life sentences “for funneling $12 million” to Hamas, the group currently in political control of Gaza.
WND further reported that at a meeting with Muslim law students at New York University, Brennan declared himself a “citizen of the world” who believed the United States government should never engage in “profiling” in pursuit of national security.
RedeemedHippie:[I am sooooo glad I am not a citizen of this world, that I am just a pilgrim passing through this man made hell!]
The New York Times reported this week that the Obama administration’s policy toward Israel was changing in a re-evaluation that now considers Israel’s blockade of Gaza to be untenable. But Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu insisted in a special press conference in his office Thursday that “Israel will not apologize for defending itself,” which strongly suggested Israel fully intends to continue its blockade.
Brennan tilts toward Islam
In a speech delivered Aug. 9, 2009, to the Center for Strategic and International Studies, and archived on the White House website, Brennan commented that using “a legitimate term, ‘jihad,’ meaning to purify oneself or to wage a holy struggle for a moral goal” to describe terrorists “risks reinforcing the idea that the United States is somehow at war with Islam itself.”
In reporting on Brennan’s speech to the CSIS, WND noted his specific advice regarding the Middle East, namely, that U.S. foreign policy should encourage greater assimilation of the Hezbollah terrorist organization into the Lebanese government.
WND noted that in a July 2008 article in The Annals, a publication of the American Academy of Political and Social Sciences, Brennan argued it “would not be foolhardy, however, for the United States to tolerate, and even to encourage, greater assimilation of Hezbollah into Lebanon’s political system, a process that is subject to Iranian influence.”
Continued Brennan: “Hezbollah is already represented in the Lebanese parliament and its members have previously served in the Lebanese cabinet, reflections of Hezbollah’s interest in shaping Lebanon’s political future from within government institutions. This involvement is a far cry from Hezbollah’s genesis as solely a terrorist organization dedicated to murder, kidnapping and violence.”
At the August 2009 press conference for the CSIS, Brennan declared, “Hezbollah started out as purely a terrorist organization back in the early ’80s and has evolved significantly over time. And now it has members of parliament, in the cabinet; there are lawyers, doctors, others who are part of the Hezbollah organization.”
Middle Eastern terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah frequently maintain civilian units of doctors and lawyers so as to emphasize their outreach with local politicians and increase their political acceptance in the international arena.
Conceivably, the Istanbul-based Foundation for Human Rights and Freedoms and Humanitarian Relief, better known by the Turkish acronym IHH, would fit Brennan’s definition of the charitable side of organizations such as Hezbollah, despite IHH’s ties to al-Qaida that have been documented by experts such as former investigating judge Jean-Louis Bruguiere, who led the French judiciary’s counter-terrorism unit for nearly two decades before retiring in 2007.
The IHH, in fact, is not included on the U.S. State Department’s current list of 45 groups designated as foreign terrorist organizations. Both Hezbollah and Hamas are listed.
In his speech to the New York University law school students posted on YouTube by the White House, Brennan included a lengthy statement in Arabic that he did not translate for his English-speaking audience.
Noting that he spent time spent as an undergraduate with the American University in Cairo during the 1970s, Brennan proceeded to use only the Arabic name “Al Quds” when referring to Jerusalem, commenting that during his 25 years in government he spent considerable time in the Middle East, as a political officer with the State Department and as a CIA station chief in Saudi Arabia.
“In Saudi Arabia, I saw how our Saudi partners fulfilled their duty as custodians of the two holy mosques in Mecca and Medina,” he said. “I marveled at the majesty of the hajj and the devotion of those who fulfilled their duty as Muslims of making that pilgrimage.”
Obama’s Chicago radical pals at center of Free Gaza Movement
WND previously reported that Weather Underground terrorists William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, as well as Jodie Evans, the leader of the radical activist organization Code Pink, were top supporters of the Free Gaza Movement, a coalition of leftist U.S. activists and pro-Palestinian groups that organized the six-ship flotilla that attempted to run the Israeli blockade of Gaza.
Redeemedhippie:[Leave it to the women in pink to have their nose in something -- communists women who have gotten a foothold in this nation because of their ungodly rebellion towards anything decent.]
Obama began his political career in Chicago at a 1995 fundraiser held in the Chicago apartment of Ayers and Dohrn, held to introduce Obama as the candidate hand-picked to run for the Illinois Senate seat held by admitted communist Alice Palmer when she decided to step aside to run that year for the U.S. House of Representatives.
In January, WND reported that Ayers, Dohrn and Evans were involved in provoking chaos on the streets of Egypt in an attempt to enter Hamas-controlled Gaza with the Free Gaza Movement to join in solidarity with Gaza’s population and leadership.
