Message to True Christian Friends of Jews
by Steven Shamrak
There are many different Christian
churches, groups and movements. Some call themselves Zionists or good and true Christians. Many of
them are deeply antagonistic toward mainstream Catholics and Anglicans. And
they disassociate themselves from the actions of their church in the past.
Just recently, the Pope, leader of 1.1
billion Catholics,
deliberately omitted
We have not been hearing condemnations
made by "true
Christians" of the anti-Semitic behaviour and
Israel-bashing by their Christian brothers in the past and the present. Most of
them are silent about Arab terrorism in
The inaction of church leaders and

From the Jewish point of view it is
difficult to distinguish the true friends among the Christian groups. Most of
them claim friendship but actually have sinister motives. The Messianic
Christians, for example, consider themselves as 'good Christians'. This is in
spite of the fact that the main objective of the Messianic church is to prove
the validity of Christian teachings by converting confused Jewish souls to
Christianity. They believe, as many before them, that the increase in the number
of Jewish Christians is an indication that the Church is G-d's true religion.
In the past the forceful conversion of Jews was a preferred method, but proved
ineffective.
Unfortunately, many Christian groups and organisations still believe and practice the old
traditional theology of hate or misguided envy toward Jews. They ignore the
fact that conversion of Jews to Christianity is actually against the will of
the G-d and undermines the most important Christian doctrine of the Second
coming. It diminishes the chance of all Jews to come to
I respect any belief system as long as
they do not discriminate against others. At the same time, I demand the same
respect toward my people, our traditions and our rights from others. True
friendship is a two way street.

Shalit, Grapel - and Pollard?
Rumors - or perhaps only
hopes - flew that Jonathan Pollard will follow Gilad Shalit and Ilan Grapel and
be freed from his U.S. prison soon. Officials in the Pollard camp recently have
expressed hopes that President Barack Obama will free Pollard this summer soon.
(One may wonder, how many American spies Israel must
arrest in order to gain freedom for Pollard?)
Endless
Demands but not
Commitment to Peace
Days after the mass release of hundreds of terrorists in exchange for Gilad
Shalit, Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas has released a surprise
demand, and is calling on Israel to release 1,000 more.
Better to Kill a
Terrorist than Call Police
Rabbi Yossi Elitzur wrote in a Halachic ruling that
should someone
encounter a terrorist, it is preferable to shoot and kill them rather than call
the police
or attempt to apprehend the person in question, since he may be released in a future
prisoner swap.
International Anti-Semites Funding of Israeli Leftist
Groups
The British government
gives over half a million pounds Sterling annually, funding Israeli political
organisations - nearly all of them leftist, like Peace Now - but gives nothing
at all to groups in Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, and other Arab countries, who have
been struggling to replace the dictatorships running their countries with
democratic regimes. (Undermining of Jewish democracy
is not a problem for UK anti-Semitic bigots, but they fear Arab tyrants’
retaliation!)
Enemy
within Must also be Removed
Dozens of Arab citizens of
Israel held a demonstration in which they called to kidnap IDF soldiers in
order to free more of the terrorists in Israel’s prisons. K David Rotem
(Yisrael Beiteinu) slammed the Thursday protest and said those who had called
to kidnap soldiers should have their citizenship revoked and should be
deported. “The calls to kidnap soldiers emphasize yet again that we need to
link citizenship
to loyalty. These inciters are not worthy to be part of Israeli
society.” (Jews were always questioned about their
loyalty in other countries. It is time to question loyalty of Arab Israelis and
free country from enemies within!)
Enforce
Law in Arab Sector Too
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said at Cabinet
session that police must enforce the law in Arab and other minority sectors
just as they do in the Jewish sector. "There are not two states," the
Prime Minister said. "There is no state within a state. We live in one
state - the State of Israel is Jewish and democratic." (It is a well known secret that police avoids ‘aggravation’

Gaza is Becoming a Separate from PA Nation
Hamas rulers of Gaza
have issued new regulations for visitors who intend to visit the region.
Foreigners must obtain a visa to enter the
territory. The rules will apply to most international aid workers and
activists, according to the announcement. Foreign journalists will apparently
face a separate set of procedures, which have yet to be determined. PA and PLO
Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, however, will still be unable to enter the territory,
with or without a visa, as his security cannot be guaranteed. Abbas has been
unable to enter Gaza since the end of the bloody militia war in which Hamas
seized control of the region in June 2007. (How many
fake Arab nations are needed to destroy Israel?)
US to Sell F-16 to Egypt
in Grapel Deal
Egypt has come out the big winner in negotiations
for the release of US-Israeli national Ilan Grapel.
On Israel's side 25 Egyptian prisoners will
be transferred into Egyptian custody. But according to Egyptian military
expert General Sameh Sayf al-Yazal, the United States has agreed to a much
bigger deal: America will sell its much-acclaimed F-16 fighter to Cairo. (Egypt has money to buy planes but not building democracy.
Who are those planes going to be used against?)
Saudi Incitement
and Never Ending Terror
1.
Saudi Arabia's controversial Islamist and preacher, Sheikh Awad al Qarni,
offered a bounty of $100,000 for the kidnapping of any IDF in 'Palestine' who
can be used as leverage to force Israel to release more terrorists from its
prisons. 2. Terrorists from Gaza fired a Grad missile towards southern Israel
late Wednesday evening.
Disengagement Made Hiding Shalit Easy
Hamas interior minister Fathi
Hamad said Israel's 2005 "Disengagement" from Gaza, "helped us
conceal Gilad Shalit for five years." Hamad was referring to the absence
of an Israeli military presence on the ground in Gaza, which would have been
able to control movement in the enclave while having freedom of movement in
searching for Shalit.

Concern of International anti-Semitic Ugliness
UN High Commissioner for Human
Rights expresses concern that shipping prisoners (killers
and hard-core terrorists) abroad is in breach of international law. Under international humanitarian law, it is
illegal to forcibly transfer war detainees or deport them to another country
against their will. The Red Cross conducted confidential interviews with all
477 Palestinian detainees. Colville said that the UN human rights office had
"continuing concerns about the thousands of Palestinians still detained or
imprisoned by Israel." Under international humanitarian law, it is illegal
to forcibly transfer war detainees or deport them to another country against
their will.
Juan Pedro Schaerer, the head of
the ICRC delegation for Israel and the territories said "And we regret
that hundreds of families of Palestinians from Gaza held in Israeli places of
detention were punished by being prevented from visiting their detained
relatives." (They were not concerned that for
five years Gilad had no communication with his family and was even denied visit
from ICRC. But they are ‘extremely’ concerned that 40 killers of Jews, out 477
released terrorists, were sent far away from Israel. What a bunch of shameless
and ugly anti-Semitic idiots!)
