Christians Standing with Israel
Christians Standing with Israel Newsletter
Volume I, Issue IX
November 4, 2007
Shalom, Friends of Israel,

In this newsletter, you will find several of this week's leading relevant headlines and, perhaps more importantly, their tie-in with the Word. You may/may not have noticed that these articles appear on our blog and/or official site. This is by design. However, rest assured, we will always run them in our newsletter first, usually 1-2 days before posting them to our site. This puts our newsletter subscribers in a favorable, albeit trivial position as they see our articles before they go "live".

Israel is rapidly approaching one of her most vulnerable and dangerous periods in recent history, and all signs point to it getting worse, before it gets better. Continue to "pray for the peace of Jerusalem" (Psa. 122:6); that "peace be within thy walls" (Psa. 122:7) 

It's been a very active couple of weeks on the international stage. Let's take a look at some of this week's headlines.

PERSECUTION WATCH: Christian Pastor Flees "Palestinian" Town Amid Death Threats
Condoleezza Rice Consults Jimmy Carter for Advice on Mideast Peace
You should feel reassured. The potential for and future of peace between Israel and the so-called "Palestinians", as it were, now rests in "good" hands. If you believe this, then I'd be happy to sell you a tropical, summer retreat in Tobolsk. The best interests of Israel, as well as her national security, have now been rendered unto the advice and insight from former, pro-Israeli "stalwarts", with proven track records as peace envoys in the Middle East, such as Henry Kissinger, James Baker, Bill Clinton, and, you guessed it, Jimmy Carter.

Earlier last week, Dr. Rice invited Carter to the State Department for the purposes of discussing the current state of affairs concerning the facilitation of peace between Israel and the "Palestinians", as well as to gather "tips" from the former president whose most recent book, "Palestine: Peace not Apartheid" has been labeled as "controversial" as it is "anti-Semitic". Would "Jimmy Carter" not be the very first name that popped into your mind when seeking the advice of an objective, competent authority on the subject of Middle East peace?

Mideast Peace: A Game of Chess with the King of Kings

If the "Palestinian" Authority President Abu Mazen (Mahmoud Abbas), as well as Condoleezza Rice, have their way, the summit scheduled for later this month in Annapolis, Maryland, will likely result in the successful creation of a "Palestinian" state, part of which will encompass East Jerusalem. This will not only divide the Jewish capital, it will guarantee the infusion tens of thousands of Arabs into and around the heartland of Israel. History tells a particularly disturbing tale of what happens when the sovereignty of Jewish land is relinquished to the Arabs--gestures facilitated to broker "peace". It is riddled with such "gestures"; yet, remains devoid of said "peace".

Former Israeli Prime Minister and current Defense Minister Ehud Barak pledged, as his election campaign slogan, to withdraw from southern Lebanon, which he did in May, 2000, as per agreement with Syria and Lebanon. You ask, "What was Israel doing in southern Lebanon in the first place?" The answer is clear, as it represents the "common denominator" in most every situation where Israel has been forced to go on the offensive:  to protect her national security.

Archbishop of Canterbury Blames Israel, Ignores Radical Islam
This just in: the Israeli security barrier is the cause for the mass emigration of Arab Christians from the Holy Land.  Such were the sentiments of the archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams. In an interview with the Jerusalem Post on Thursday, Williams blamed the ongoing, mass exodus of Arab Christians from Israel on "the daily burdens caused by the fence faced by Christians in Bethlehem and other cities."

What is it about God's Chosen people that makes the spiritual head of the 77 million strong Anglican Communion notoriously hate them so much?

PERSECUTION WATCH:

Christian Pastor Flees "Palestinian" Town Amid Threats
To learn more about Isa and his ministry, or to offer him your assistance, please click on the above photo

Despite what the archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, would have you believe, many "Palestinian" Christians continue to flee cities within Israel amid death threats made by factions within radical Islam. Last Thursday, a "Palestinian"-American Evangelical Christian pastor fled the town of Ramallah to safety in Jerusalem. For 16 years, the American-born pastor, Isa Bajalia, has called Ramallah his home while using his time to spread the love of the Gospel. Recently, Bajalia began receiving death threats by officials from within Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah movement, for his Christian beliefs. The PA agreed to help Bajalia, but for a
 $30,000 fee.
