The Jewish Exodus (Pogroms) from Arab Lands

As Jews around the world celebrate Passover and remember their ancestors’ exodus from Egypt, it is also important to remember the modern day Jewish exodus from Arab lands. In 1945, around one million Jews lived in Jewish communities residing in Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Libya, Morocco, Syria and Yemen.

 Many of these communities predated Islam. Jews in Arab states greatly contributed towards their societies. Sasson Heskel, a Baghdadi Jew, was an Iraqi Finance Minister in the 19th centruy, while an Egyptian Jew named Murad Bey helped draft the Egyptian Constitution in the 1930’s and Layla Murad, also an Egyptian Jew, was the great diva of Arabic music during the mid 1900′s. However, in the days leading up to Israel’s independence in 1948, many Arab states grew oppressive towards their Jewish citizens, who had lived beside Arabs since antiquity.

From 1947 through 1948, Jews in the Arab Middle East were systematically persecuted, with anti-Jewish pogroms erupting and Jewish property being confiscated. The Iraqi government declared that Zionism was a capital offense; the Syrian government froze Jewish bank accounts; a bomb set off in the Jewish Quarter of Cairo resulted in the death of 70 Jews; and a pogrom in Aden led to the death of 80 Jews, as well as the destruction of countless Jewish homes. As a result of such persecutions, between 1948 and 1972, 820,000 Jews from Arabian countries would become refugees, with 200,000 settling in Europe and the United States, while an additional 586,000 moving to Israel. The descendants of the Jewish refugees from Arab states presently make up around half of the Israeli population.



A Haggadah from the Forgotten Jewish Exodus website includes the following prayer on Passover, “As we hold the bread of affliction, we recall that more than 3,000 years ago our ancestors went forth from slavery in Egypt to freedom in the land of Israel. Many never left the Middle East. Today, we remember not only the bitterness of that slavery, but also the forgotten exodus of one million Jews who fled the Middle East and North Africa in the 20th century. The Jewish people have been living in Egypt and throughout the Middle East for more than 3,000 years. As Jews, we take pride in being the Middle East’s oldest, existing ethnic group.”



Upon discussing Jewish contributions to Arab states and the oppression that Jews endured within Arab countries, which ultimately led to their exodus from these lands, it asserts, “We hold the bread of affliction and recall the 135,000 Jews of Iraq who once made up a plurality of the city of Baghdad; the 40,000 Jews of Libya, where today no Jews remain; and the 80,000 Jews of Egypt, many of whom in 1956 received government expulsion orders. Just as the Israelites did not have time to let their bread rise, these modern Egyptian Jewish refugees did not have time to pack their bags. And hundreds of thousands more.”

It concludes, “The scars of the past can heal. But justice can only be achieved when peoples and governments in the Middle East recognize the plight of the forgotten million refugees. This year, we pray for the day when justice will be achieved for the Jews of the Middle East and when all peoples of the region will live together in peace and harmony. Amen.” As one Egyptian Jewish refugee, Joseph Abdel Wahed, asserted, “On Passover, it is a Jewish tradition that in retelling the Exodus story we should feel as if we, ourselves, experienced persecution and the Exodus from Egypt. I hope that this year we can also take a moment to experience the modern exodus of Middle Eastern Jews.”

Buchenwald Rabbi Herschel Schacter dead at 95

Rabbi Herschel Schacter leading the Shavuot prayer service for survivors in the Buchenwald camp in Germany in 1945.

It was April 11, 1945, and Gen. George S. Patton’s Third Army had liberated the concentration camp scarcely an hour before. Rabbi Hershel Schacter was the first Jewish chaplain to enter in its wake, the New York Times reports.

That morning, after learning that Patton’s forward tanks had arrived at the camp, Rabbi Schacter, who died in Riverdale, the Bronx, on Thursday at 95 after a career as one of the most prominent Modern Orthodox rabbis in the United States, commandeered a jeep and driver. He left headquarters and sped toward Buchenwald.

By late afternoon, when the rabbi drove through the gates, Allied tanks had breached the camp. He remembered, he later said, the sting of smoke in his eyes, the smell of burning flesh and the hundreds of bodies strewn everywhere.

He would remain at Buchenwald for months, tending to survivors, leading religious services in a former Nazi recreation hall and eventually helping to resettle thousands of Jews.

For his work, Rabbi Schacter was singled out by name on Friday by Yisrael Meir Lau, the former Ashkenazi chief rabbi of Israel, in a meeting with President Obama at Yad Vashem, Israel’s Holocaust memorial.

In Buchenwald that April day, Rabbi Schacter said afterward, it seemed as though there was no one left alive. In the camp, he encountered a young American lieutenant who knew his way around.

“Are there any Jews alive here?” the rabbi asked him.

He was led to the Kleine Lager, or Little Camp, a smaller camp within the larger one. There, in filthy barracks, men lay on raw wooden planks stacked from floor to ceiling. They stared down at the rabbi, in his unfamiliar military uniform, with unmistakable fright.

“Shalom Aleichem, Yidden,” Rabbi Schacter cried in Yiddish, “ihr zint frei!” — “Peace be upon you, Jews, you are free!” He ran from barracks to barracks, repeating those words. He was joined by those Jews who could walk, until a stream of people swelled behind him.

VN ziet Syrische strijd overslaan naar Israël

Israeli armament at Israel/Golan-Syrian border

Niet allen Israël vreest, dat de burgeroorlog in Syrië de grens zal over schrijden. Nu waarschuwen ook VN-functionarissen, dat de Joodse Staat op korte termijn betrokken kan raken bij het bloedige conflict.

'De leden van de [VN] Veiligheidsraad hebben ernstige bezorgdheid uitgesproken over alle schendingen van de Disengagement of Forces Agreement', die na de Yom Kippoer-oorlog in 1973 de gedemilitariseerde bufferzone tussen Israël en Syrië instelde.

De Veiligheidsraad wees er verder op, dat zowel Syrische strijdkrachten als rebellenstrijders de bufferzone binnengaan, zonder rekening te houden met de gesloten overeenkomsten.

Tenslotte nam de Veiligheidsraad beide partijen in het Syrische conflict onder handen wegens het in gevaar brengen van de levens van duizend militairen van de VN-vredesmacht, die in de bufferzone zijn gestationeerd om de terugtrekking te controleren.

Grensoverschrijdende beschietingen vanuit Syrië hebben Israël al gedwongen om te reageren. Tot nu toe zijn zulke incidenten beheersbaar gebleven. Maar iedereen voelt wel aan, dat het slechts een kwestie van tijd is voordat er een explosie plaatsvindt.

Het is ook belangrijk te weten, dat beide partijen in het Syrische conflict vijanden zijn van de Joodse Staat, en er waarschijnlijk geen probleem mee hebben als Israël schade oploopt als onderdeel van hun onderlinge conflict.

Het regime van de belegerde president Bashar Assad is officieel nog in oorlog met Israël, en heeft tientallen jaren anti-Israëlische terreurorganisaties zoals Hamas en Hezbollah een schuilplaats en hulp gegeven.

De Syrische rebellen bestaan grotendeels uit islamistische groeperingen, veelal gelieerd aan of verbonden met soortgelijke groepen als Moslimbroederschap of Al Qaida, die beide uiteindelijk de vernietiging van het 'Zionistische regime' nastreven.

Omdat de gevechten langzaam de grens steeds dichter naderen, is de situatie begrijpelijkerwijs zeer gespannen, en een reden voor grote bezorgdheid in Israël.

Israel sets up 'field hospital' to treat injured Syrians

Complex to which wounded Syrians will be evacuated

In light of the steady increase in the number of wounded Syrians Israel has been treating, the IDF has set up a "military field hospital" at army outpost 105 in the Golan Heights, AFP reported Thursday.

Israeli officials confirmed that the hospital was set up to treat injured Syrians near the border fence and avoid having to evacuate them to hospitals inside the country.

In the past month, several Syrians who were injured in the fighting between rebels and forces loyal to President Bashar Assad have been treated in northern Israel hospitals. According to AFP, eight of them were repatriated and three have remained in Israel for further treatment.

On Wednesday a number of injured Syrians made their way to the border with Israel. Two of the Syrians, who were critically wounded, were evacuated to Israeli hospitals with the authorization of IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Benny Gantz.

The two, who are in their 30s, were initially taken to the Ziv Medical Center in Safed, but were later transferred to a hospital in Nahariya. One of them was pronounced dead several hours after being hospitalized. The remaining Syrians, who sustained light injuries, were treated at the scene by IDF paramedics and then released.

Last week, four Syrians who were injured during a mortar attack made their way to the Israeli border. Two of them were treated at the scene and released, while the others were evacuated to the Rambam Medical Center in Haifa.

In mid-February seven injured Syrians were evacuated to the Ziv Medical Center. Six of them were released a week and a half later and returned to Syria. The seventh Syrian, who is in moderate condition, remains hospitalized at Ziv's surgical ward.

Egyptian mosque turned into house of torture for Christians after Muslim Brotherhood protest

Photo - Amir Ayad recovering in hospital after being tortured and left for dead.

Islamic hard-liners stormed a mosque in suburban Cairo, turning it into torture chamber for Christians who had been demonstrating against the ruling Muslim Brotherhood in the latest case of violent persecution that experts fear will only get worse.

Such stories have become increasingly common as tensions between Egypt’s Muslims and Copts mount, but in the latest case, mosque officials corroborated much of the account and even filed a police report. Demonstrators, some of whom were Muslim, say they were taken from the Muslim Brotherhood headquarters in suburban Cairo to a nearby mosque on Friday and tortured for hours by hard-line militia members.

“They accompanied me to one of the mosques in the area and I discovered the mosque was being used to imprison demonstrators and torture them,” Amir Ayad, a Coptic who has been a vocal protester against the regime, told MidEast Christian News from a hospital bed.

Ayad said he was beaten for hours with sticks before being left for dead on a roadside. Amir’s brother, Ezzat Ayad, said he received an anonymous phone call at 3 a.m. Saturday, with the caller saying his brother had been found near death and had been taken to the ambulance.

“He underwent radiation treatment that proved that he suffered a fracture in the bottom of his skull, a fracture in his left arm, a bleeding in the right eye, and birdshot injuries,” Ezzat Ayad said.

Officials at the Bilal ibn Rabah Mosque said radical militias stormed the building, in the Cairo suburb of Moqattam, after Friday prayers.

“[We] deeply regret what has happened and apologize to the people of Moqattam,” mosque officials said in a statement, adding that “they had lost control over the mosque at the time."

The statement also “denounced and condemned the violence and involving mosques in political conflicts.”

The latest crackdown is further confirmation that the Muslim Brotherhood’s most hard-line elements are consolidating control in Egypt, according to Shaul Gabbay, a professor of international studies at the University of Denver.

“It will only get worse,” said Gabbay. “This has been a longstanding conflict, but now that the Muslim Brotherhood is in power, it is moving forward to implement its ideology – which is that Christians are supposed to become Muslims.

“There is no longer anything to hold them back,” he continued. “The floodgates are open.”

Gabbay said the violent militias that allegedly tortured Ayad work hand-in-hand with police and may, in fact, be beyond the control of increasingly unpopular President Mohammed Morsi. While he may benefit from roving bands that attack demonstrators, they also undermine his claim of being a legitimate leader.

“Egyptian society is split over the Morsi regime, and it is not just a Coptic-Muslim split,” Gabbay said. “The less conservative elements of the Muslim society are increasingly uneasy with the Muslim Brotherhood. The Christian Copts are an easy target, but they are not alone in their mistrust of the Brotherhood.”

Experts agreed that the Copts, who comprise roughly 10 percent of the nation’s 83 million people, are not alone in their opposition to the Muslim Brotherhood, which took power in hotly contested elections following the 2011 ouster of longtime President Hosni Mubarak. Moderate Muslims and secular liberals are increasingly uncomfortable with the Islamization of the government.

Sheikh Ahmed Saber, a well-known imam and official in Egypt’s Ministry of Endowments, has blasted Morsi’s justice ministry for allowing persecution of Copts.

“All Egyptians in general are oppressed, but Christians are particularly oppressed, because they suffer double of what others suffer,” Saber told MCN.

Görings broer Albert krijgt wellicht onderscheiding voor redding van Joden

JERUSALEM, 14-03-2013 - De jongere broer van Hermann Göring, Albert, krijgt mogelijk een onderscheiding van de staat Israël voor het redden van het leven van Joden tijdens de Holocaust. Albert Göring heeft Joden verborgen tijdens de oorlog.

Albert Göring was een Duitse zakenman die stierf in 1966. Van hem wordt gezegd dat hij honderden Joden en politieke dissidenten tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog heeft gered.

Irena Steinfeldt, directeur van de afdeling onderscheidingen bij Yad Vashem, het officiële instituut voor onderzoek van de Holocaust in Jerusalem, bereidt volgens de Britse krant The Daily Telegraph een dossier voor met Gestaporapporten en -verslagen van het Amerikaanse leger. Daarin zitten ook verslagen van verhoren van de jongere Göring, alsmede verklaringen van personen die hij heeft gered. De onderscheiding wordt uitgereikt aan hen die niet alleen Joden redden, maar daarbij hun leven riskeerden.

Er is een campagne gaande ter ere van de jongere broer van de nazileider, enige jaren tweede man na Hitler. Er is een groeiende erkenning van zijn inspanningen om de slachtoffers van de nazi's te redden van de concentratiekampen en bij het verkrijgen van vertrekvergunningen voor Joden. Op een keer schreef hij een brief aan de commandant van Dachau, waarin hij de vrijlating van een arts genaamd Charvat eiste; twijfel over wie dat precies was resulteerde in de vrijlating van twee mannen met dezelfde achternaam.

Een woordvoerder van Yad Vashem zei dat mevrouw Steinfeldt de afdeling werd een dossier voorbereidt over Albert Göring voor de commissie die ontvangers van de ondcerscheiding 'Rechtvaardige onder de Volkeren' keurt.

Ondanks hun tegenstrijdige politieke opvattingen, bleven de Göring-broeders in nauw contact. Volgens verkalringen van de familie accounts, zocht Albert met succes de steun van zijn broer ten behoeve van Joodse vrienden of politieke gevangenen. De familienaam beschermde hem ook tegen intensieve controle door de Gestapo. Een Gestaporapport vermeldt zelfs zijn afkeer voor de nazigebruiken, hij had een hekel aan de verplichte begroeting 'Heil Hitler'.

Hermann Göring, oprichter en maarschalk van de Luftwaffe, pleegde zelfmoord in 1946, de nacht voordat hij zou worden opgehangen. Zijn jongere broer bracht twee jaar door in de gevangenis. Hij moest veel moeite doen om de geallieerde autoriteiten van zijn onschuld te overtuigen. Dat leidde tot onder meer het samenstellen van een lijst van 34 mensen die hij had gered. Volgens het boek van William Hastings Burke over de zaak, Thirty Four, ervoer Albert het als moeilijk het stigma van de familienaam af te schudden en werd depressief en alcoholist na de oorlog.

Tijdens de oorlog werkte hij als export directeur van de Skodafabriek in bezet Tsjecho-Slowakije. Op dat moment was dat een grote wapenfabrikant. Na de oorlog werd hij berecht in Praag voor zijn rol, maar vrijgesproken na getuigenissen van fabrieksarbeiders.

The Passover Seder Meal 2013

Ok, We don't like Obama, but here he is, doing the Seder!

Portuguese island Madeira to see first seder in decades

Marranos: Secret Seder in Spain during the times of inquisition, painting by Moshe Maimon.

Descendants of Jews forcibly converted to Catholicism centuries ago will attend the first seder in decades on the Portuguese island of Madeira off the coast of Africa.

Thirteen Jews -- some of them Bnei Anousim, the descendants of Portuguese Jews targeted for conversion during the Inquisition -- will gather in Funchal, the capital of the archipelago, on Passover eve, according to Shavei Israel, an organization devoted to bringing so-called lost Jews back to Judaism. According to the organization, the seder will be the first recorded Passover feast to take place on the island in centuries.

The island, situated some 600 miles southwest of Portugal, has no Jewish residents today. The Bnei Anousim attending include members of two families from Belmonte, a town in northern Portugal known as a Jewish center before the Portuguese Inquisition was launched in 1497.

Portuguese Jews who settled in Madeira continued to practice Judaism in secret even after their forcible conversion, according to Modechai Arbel, author of “The Jewish Nation of the Caribbean.” They were exposed when denunciations against Jewish practices in Madeira filtered back to Lisbon in 1550, he wrote. Jews from Morocco arrived in Madeira in 1819 and set themselves up in the cloth trade. A synagogue and cemeteries were built on the island but were abandoned decades ago.

The Madeira seder will be led by Marvin and Danby Meital, an American-Israeli couple, and sponsored by Shavei Israel, which was founded in 2002 to help descendants of Jews across the world reconnect with the Jewish people and Israel.

“The holding of a Seder in Madeira is truly historic,” said Shavei Israel Chairman Michael Freund. “It is incumbent upon Israel and the Jewish people to reach out to the Bnei Anousim and facilitate their return.”

Israel to 'immediately' respond to all Syrian cross-border shooting

Israel will “immediately” respond to Syrian gunfire on the border of Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, stated new Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon. The statement comes after Israel returned fire from over the border, wounding two Syrian soldiers.

"Every violation of Israeli sovereignty and shooting from the Syrian side will immediately be answered by silencing the source of fire," AFP quoted him as saying after Israeli troops opened fire towards a Syrian military post.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) fired a Tamuz anti-tank guided missile into Syrian territory after Syrian troops opened fire for the second time in twelve hours, according to YNet News.

Israeli forces "destroyed a Syrian machine gun nest that fired on Israeli patrols operating to safeguard the border," spokesperson for the prime minister's Office, Ofir Gendelman, tweeted.

At least two Syrian soldiers were wounded with no casualties on the Israeli side.

The tensions along the border began on Saturday when a round of gunfire from the Syrian side hit an IDF jeep during an evening patrol in the Golan Heights. No one was injured in the incident.

"Our understanding is that it wasn't stray fire," Israeli military spokesman Lieutenant-Colonel Peter Lerner said.

It remains unclear whether the fire was aimed at the Israeli vehicle or was the result of indiscriminate fighting between rebels and government forces.

Israel is concerned over the tense situation at the Golan Heights border and fears a spillover of violence, as Syrian rebels have been making advances to capture territory from government forces.

Over the past few months Israel has had to respond to sporadic fire coming from Syrian side.

Indonesian Government Demolishes Church as Muslims Cheer

When U.S. citizens peacefully gathered to protest the planned construction of a 13-story mega-mosque on the site of the largest Islamic terrorist attack in U.S. history, politicians and the media declared the protest to be decisive proof of an American epidemic of racism, intolerance, bigotry, and Islamophobia. Meanwhile, in Indonesia, Muslims are shouting "Allahu Akbar!" as the government actively destroys churches, and Christians are powerless to defend themselves against the enforcement of Sharia. Will there be an international outcry? Don't hold your breath. For some reason, the people who are most vocal in claiming that Islam is no different from other religions are the same people who consistently hold Muslims to lower standards. (Click here for video.)

AFP--An Indonesian city government demolished a church in front of its weeping congregation Thursday, as Muslim protesters egged on workers and branded the Christians "infidels".

Dozens in the 100-strong congregation wailed as a digger tore down the brick walls, with worshippers accusing the government of "criminalising our religion", in a sign of increasing intolerance in the world's largest Muslim-majority nation.

"My heart is aching and I feel numb watching my church collapse. I went to this church for 11 years," Megarenta Sihite, 46, told AFP, wiping away tears as fellow worshippers, dressed in black, hugged each other.

"Our church can collapse but not our faith. We will continue to come here for Sunday mass."

As the walls of the Taman Sari Batak Christian Protestant Church -- at the centre of a planning row -- crumbled, police in Bekasi city on the outskirts of Jakarta, dispersed 200 Muslim women who sneaked onto the church land chanting Koranic verses.

Along the road Muslim protesters held back by a police cordon had chanted "Knock the church down now", and "Allahu Akbar" (God is greater).

One man shouted through a loudspeaker: "They're infidels and they've built their church without permission."

Members of the congregation had earlier begged the Bekasi city government to halt the demolition, with children clutching signs reading "please do not dismantle our church".

Reverend Advent Nababan shed tears as the building was pulled down. "You just witnessed the government criminalising our religion," he said. (Continue Reading.)

Paus Franciscus: Moslims aanbidden de ware God

Tijdens zijn toespraak afgelopen woensdag voor afgevaardigden van verschillende religies blijkt de nieuwe paus Franciscus letterlijk te hebben uitgesproken dat de moslims de ware 'levende en genadige' God aanbidden.

Op de avond van zijn verkiezing schreven we al dat de paus zich naar Franciscus van Assisi heeft vernoemd omdat deze katholieke heilige toenadering zocht tot de islam en één van de eersten was die zei dat moslims dezelfde God aanbidden als de christenen.

'Ik groet u en dank u allen hartelijk, beste vrienden van andere religieuze tradities: ten eerste de moslims, die de enige levende en genadige God aanbidden en Hem aanroepen in gebed,' begon de paus zijn toespraak. 'Ik zie een tastbaar signaal van de wil om te groeien in wederzijdse achting en samenwerking, voor het algemene welzijn van de mensheid.'

Als moslims inderdaad dezelfde God (/god) aanbidden dan rijst de vraag waarom er dan al jaren in zoveel landen een islamitische uitroeiingsoorlog tegen het christendom gaande is. Dorpen en kerken in Pakistan, Nigeria en Syrië worden platgebrand en christenen worden bijna overal waar moslims het voor het zeggen hebben vervolgd of massaal afgeslacht.

In Irak daalde het aantal Chaldeese kerken hierdoor van 300 in 2003 tot slechts 57 nu. En ook die overgebleven kerken zijn constant het doelwit van islamisten.

Bron: Xandernieuws

Ons commentaar: Wij doen bij deze afstand van deze leugenachtige uitspraak van de paus. Alleen de Joden en de Christenen aanbidden de levende en waarachtige God van Israël (de God van de bijbel). Moslims mogen volgens de koran geen vrienden worden met christenen noch met joden. Allah zegt niet voor niets in de koran, dat joden en christenen elkanders vrienden zijn, en voor Allah onrechtvaardige/overtredende mensen zijn.

Soera 5: 54

"O, gij die gelooft, neemt de Joden en de Christenen niet tot vrienden. Zij zijn elkanders vrienden. En wie uwer hen tot vrienden neemt, is inderdaad één hunner. Voorwaar, Allah leidt het overtredende volk niet."

From Isaiah 53

Christelijke kerk moet terug naar Joodse wortels

Een wat ouder, maar zeer relevant, artikel door Ben Kok



Ref.Dagblad 24-02-2010

Het is goed dat deze krant aandacht besteedt aan de verhouding tussen Joden en christenen, vindt Ben Kok. Maar christenen moeten een stap verder gaan, terug naar de Joodse wortels van hun geloof.

Uit de zeven artikelen in de serie ”Joden en christenen” komt een duidelijk lijn naar voren: vanuit de erkenning van de Joodse basis van ons christelijk geloof door de eerste kerkvaders zijn we snel afgedwaald van een geloof in ”Yeshua ha Mashiach” (Jezus de Messias) naar een verwesterde Christus zonder Thora met veel antisemitisme. Inmiddels al zeventien eeuwen lang.

Herstel is gaande sinds de Shoah, maar gaat niet verder dan het inzicht van Berkhof (1970) met ”verbond, land en volk”. En dat is dan nog lang niet bij alle christenen het geval. Het antisemitisme neemt nu juist weer toe.

Op mijn vijftigste heb ik ontdekt dat we terug moeten naar de Joodse basis van de eerste Yeshua-gemeente te Jeruzalem en die gemeente als modelgemeente moeten nemen. Als we de moed hebben om ons huidige kerkmodel en persoonlijk geloofsleven daarnaar te reorganiseren, zal Gods zegen op ons rusten, zo mag ik al tien jaar ervaren.

Joden persoonlijk leren kennen en vergeving vragen over onze ongelofelijk treurige, met geen pen te beschrijven kerkgeschiedenis, is het eerste. Leren van Joden die net als Isaac da Costa de ”Mashiach ben Joseph”, de lijdende Messias, hebben aanvaard als de Levende Thora, Die ten diepste de enige verbinding met God is, volgt daarna. We zien in Mattheüs 5:17 e.v. dat Yeshua ons groot acht als we de Thora doen en leren, en klein als we dat niet doen.

Hem navolgen in de Bergrede, waarin de Thora in de ware oorspronkelijke bedoeling wordt voorgeleefd, is een veel betere opvatting van ”de wet is vervuld in Yeshua” dan het denken dat de wet na vervulling door Hem heeft afgedaan. Vervulling van de Thora is: Yeshua droeg onze straf voor het overtreden van Gods Thora en Hij laat zien hoe je de Thora naar de Geest moet opvatten. Dus gooi je de Thora niet weg en de Joden erbij –vreselijk dat we dat hebben gedaan!–, maar je leert ”de volle raad Gods” en gaat ernaar leren leven.

We worden alleen behouden door geloof in God, door Yeshua ha Mashiach, zeker niet door wettisch leven volgens regeltjes. Maar vanuit de genade door geloof behouden, leer je leven als Gods kind binnen de principes van de Thora [Wet]. Uiteraard vertaald naar deze tijd, waarbij Yeshua onze tempel is en het ware Offerlam, maar waarbij de richtlijnen van de Thora de norm zijn voor ons leven, door de Geest geleid. Met de sabbat (vrijdagavond tot zaterdagavond), koosjer eten op Bijbelse wijze, de feesttijden des Heeren als Pesach, Shawoeoth (Pinksteren) en Sukkoth (Loofhuttenfeest), met Yeshua ha Mashiach centraal.

Laten we de moed hebben de kerken te ontdoen van heidense invloeden (zoals Kerst, zondag als vervanging van de sabbat, paasfeest in plaats van Pesach en eten zonder Bijbelse richtlijnen). De God van Abraham, Izak en Jakob gaat door met Zijn plan, zowel voor het overblijfsel (Rom. 11:4,5) als op andere wijze voor het volk Israël als geheel.

Netanyahu under severe pressure of Obama: Netanyahu apologizes to Turkey over Gaza flotilla

What has happened to Netanyahu? Has he Become Mad? A real Disappointment for all Israel lovers and Zionists



In a dramatic development that occurred just as US President Barack Obama was leaving the country, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu spoke with Turkey's Tayyip Erdogan for the first time since the Israeli prime minister took power in 2009.

Netanyahu voiced regret for the loss of life in the 2010 Mavi Marmara incident, apologizing for any mistakes that led to the death of nine Turkish activists. Breaking a three-year deadlock, the two agreed to normalize relations.

"Prime Minister Netanyahu expressed an apology to the Turkish people for any error that may have led to the loss of life, and agreed to complete the agreement for compensation," the statement said.

The conversation was facilitated by US President Barack Obama, taking place during Obama's prolonged meeting with Netanyahu on Friday afternoon.

"The United States deeply values our close partnerships with both Turkey and Israel, and we attach great importance to the restoration of positive relations between them in order to advance regional peace and security," Obama said in the statement released by the White House just before he ended a visit to Israel.

"I am hopeful that today's exchange between the two leaders will enable them to engage in deeper cooperation on this and a range of other challenges and opportunities," the president said.

Turkey, for its part, agreed to drop all charges against a group of former Israeli military commanders including former chief of staff Lt.-Gen. (res.) Gabi Ashkenazi.

Erdogan underlined the importance of strong cooperation and friendship between the Turkish and Jewish nations in a telephone conversation with his Israeli counterpart on Friday, his office said.

Keren Hayesod verleent humanitaire bijstand op verschillende deelterreinen. Gevers kunnen aangeven voor welk deelterrein of specifiek project het geschonken bedrag is bestemd.

Alle door de CIA ingezamelde gelden worden zo snel mogelijk naar Keren Hayesod in Jeruzalem overgemaakt ter besteding aan haar statutaire doelstellingen of aan de doelstellingen aangegeven door de gevers.

Lies about 'Palestine' (Which does Not exist)

Arab Apartheid in Israel

Guide for misleaded leftist Fools from the West:

Obama! A 'palestinian' State?

Believing The Lie!



President Obama's meeting with Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas. 

Widespread protests across Gaza and the West Bank continued even as Mr. Obama re-stated his commitment to the cause of Palestinian statehood. In the image here, President Obama speaks to Palestinian leaders in Ramallah under a portrait of the murderous terrorist Yasser Arafat.

There is a prophetic battle between darkness and light taking place, and you and I must fight and win that battle (in prayer) if Israel is to survive.

Palestijnen verwijderen hun monument voor de vernietiging van Israël, voordat Obama het ziet

De gemeente Bethlehem heeft het stenen monument van Palestina weggehaald, uit bezorgdheid dat de Amerikaanse president Barack Obama het zou zien tijdens zijn bezoek aan de stad later deze week.

Het monument werd pas enkele maanden geleden neergezet, om “de geboorte van de staat Palestina op 29 november 2012″ te markeren (het verkrijgen van de waarnemersstatus bij de VN) en de “lancering van de Palestijnse revolutie op 1 januari 1965.” (de eerste terreurdaad van Fatah.)

Het monument toont een landkaart van Palestina waarbij Israël niet meer bestaat.

Dit is geheel in lijn met het ‘plan voor de gefaseerde vernietiging van Israël’, het Handvest van de PLO en het Handvest van Fatah, organisaties die onder leiding staan van de Palestijnse president Abbas.

Maar dat president Obama dit zo duidelijk uitgebeeld te zien zou krijgen bij zijn aanstaande bezoek aan Bethlehem, was blijkbaar niet gewenst.

Palestijnse demonstranten reageerden direct verontwaardigd op het verwijderen van het monument en riepen de gemeente op om het onmiddellijk terug te plaatsen.

Khamenei: Iran will destroy Tel Aviv if attacked

A Story about Islamic suicidal maniacs and lunatics



Iran's most powerful authority said the Islamic Republic would destroy the Israeli cities of Tel Aviv and Haifa if Israel launched a military attack against it.

"At times the officials of the Zionist regime (Israel) threaten to launch a military invasion but they themselves know that if they make the slightest mistake the Islamic Republic will raze Tel Aviv and Haifa to the ground," Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said during an address, broadcast live on state television.

Israel has threatened military action against Iran unless it abandons nuclear activities which the West suspects are intended to develop nuclear weapons, allegations Tehran denies.

Van der Staaij (SGP) ongelukkig met islamitische gebedsoproep in Nederland

SGP-voorman Kees van der Staaij is erg ongelukkig met de publieke islamitische gebedsoproep in Nederland. Wat de SGP betreft is het "hoe minder hoe beter".

Het geluid van kerkklokken hoort bij het "historische Nederlandse cultuurpatroon", vindt Van der Staaij. "Het bimbam van de kerkklokken die al sinds eeuwen te horen zijn, verschillen enorm met de Arabische gebedsoproepen die vanaf moskeeën weerklinken, die bovendien de overheersing van het islamitisch geloof proclameren."

De SGP heeft veel moeite met "de opdringerige aanwezigheid van de islam in de samenleving. Wij hopen dat het christelijk geloof Nederland kenmerkt, niet de islam." Het valt Van der Staaij op dat hij bij moslims vaak meer begrip voor zijn standpunt vindt dan bij autochtone Nederlanders.

Vorige week meldden diverse media dat de Turkse Centrum Moskee als eerste begint met een openbare gebedsoproep, maar uit onderzoek van De Vijfde Dag blijkt dat al minstens twaalf moskeeën zo'n oproep doen.

Ons Commentaar: Wat een politiek/religieus correct liberaal geneuzel van die journaliste! Kees heeft groot gelijk! Nederland, hou de Islam in toom en zoveel als mogelijk buiten de deur!

Our Comment: And God will severely punish and judge Gaza and its Islamic inhabitants for their hate and murderous attacks of/on the Jewish people (Israel). And God can surely use Israel's army to do this!

Amos 1 This is what the Lord (God) says:

“For three sins of Gaza,
even for four, I will not relent.
Because she took captive whole communities
and sold them to Edom,
I will send fire on the walls of Gaza
that will consume her fortresses."
