Pope Francis has a dream that one day, in the not so distant future, Israelis and Palestinians will live together, in separate independent states, in peace, security, and mutual respect, as befits the sons and daughters of  the one Merciful God in whom he and the vast majority of them believe.

What am I missing?   I thought Muslims worshiped Allah, Jews reject Yeshua as Messiah and the RCC is an apostate religion, yet the "vast majority" (sons and daughters) believe in the one Merciful God???  

The Obama administration's anger is "red-hot" over Israel's settlement policies, and the Netanyahu government openly expresses contempt for Obama's understanding of the Middle East. Profound changes in the relationship may be coming.

A  senior Obama administration official had this to say about the foreign leader who seems to frustrate the White House and the State Department the most. “The thing about Bibi is, he’s a chickenshit,” this official said, referring to the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, by his nickname.

Even as Jerusalem and Washington locked horns earlier this month in a very public spat over construction in Jerusalem, more than three-fourths of the Jewish-Israeli public is opposed to the establishment of a Palestinian state if it means dividing Jerusalem, according to a recently released poll.

The poll, sponsored by the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, and conducted by the Shvakim Panorama research institute, found that 76 percent of the Jewish public opposed a Palestinian state if it meant dividing the capital, indicating that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took no political risks – and indeed reflected a wide consensus opinion – when he publicly sparred with the White House earlier this month over plans to build in Givat Hamatos and allow Jews to move into Silwan.

(The latest violence in East Jerusalem is yet another proof that Israel must remain swiftly in control of its capital. If the Israel police slumber or sleep for a second, the city of David will be turned into the rubble city of Aleppo). Ivar

As Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has noted, Israel and the Jews "have no greater friends and allies" than the 70-million strong Evangelical Christian community in the United States -- better friends, in fact, than much of the American Jewish Community.

Let’s keep it that way.!!!.

A three-month-old girl was killed and several others wounded Wednesday evening when a known Palestinian terrorist rammed his vehicle at full speed into a crowd in Jerusalem.

The baby, identified as Chaya Zissel Braun, was laid to rest late Wednesday evening. Among the eight injured were Israeli and US citizens.

Jeremiah 30:3  'For behold, the days are coming,' says the LORD, 'that I will bring back from captivity My people Israel and Judah,' says the LORD. 'And I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.'"  (NKJ)

This week the seriously misguided government of the United Kingdom joined the seriously misguided new government of Sweden in officially recognizing the so-called state of Palestine.  The making of this decision, these foolish politicians, have placed their the nations on a head on collision course with the Holy One of Israel and will soon experiece the heat of His wrath. 

There is none so blind as those that will not see.

A team of Israeli Messianic Jews and Arab Christians have been assisting Syrian war refugees. The group recently visited a church where 219 refugees families (over 700 people) were taking shelter after fleeing from ISIS and other Islamist groups. 

“These people lost everything,” says one member of the Israeli group, whose names need to be protected. “They even saw family members murdered or kidnapped.”

Please pray for these brothers and sisters.

Sadly, we live in fear of Islam,  the "peaceful" religion.

Tens of thousands of Jewish people from Israel and around the world gathered at the Western Wall of Jerusalem’s Temple Mount on Sunday for the biblical priestly blessing that takes place during the festival of Sukkot, otherwise known as the Feast of Tabernacles.

Many of the Jewish visitors had wanted to ascend the Temple Mount during their visit, but were prevented from doing so by police, who feared an outbreak of Arab Muslim violence. Jews are typically attacked when entering their religion’s holiest site during their religious feast days.

ISRAEL PAID 32 MILLION SHEKELS TO TREAT SYRIAN WOUNDED: According to Israel’s Ministry of Health, since Israel decided to being treating wounded Syrians from the ongoing civil war in that country, it has spent 32,487,415 shekels (about $9 million). The information was released as part of a report addressing the expenses of four northern hospitals that have been treating the wounded. It is reported the wounded are first seen and cared for in an IDF field hospital and there the decision is made regarding continued hospitalization in an Israeli hospital. Despite the sum and the critical fiscal situation in government hospitals, IDF and ministry officials feel the treatment of Syrian wounded is viewed as being of the highest humanitarian nature. To date 1,200 Syrians have been treated in Israeli hospitals. (Janglo)

As Yom Kippur [Day of Atonement] draws to a close, let us pray for those that do not know their Messiah, The Saviour.  Those that have a form of godliness, but deny The Power.

From churchgoer, to catholic, orthodox Jew - secular Jew, LDS, JW, family member or friend - those whose lives perhaps reflect goodness, but NOT godliness. Pray for the Holy Spirit to remove the scales from their hearts and lives and set them free.

"And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest." Luke 10:2

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Tuesday told United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon that Hamas commits a double war crime by using civilians as human shields and firing rockets at Israel.

Netanyahu’s comments were made in a meeting with Ban at the UN headquarters in New York. Also attending the meeting was Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman.

Netanyahu told the UN chief that the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) should focus its investigation of war crimes in Gaza on Hamas, which also used UN buildings to fire rockets towards Israel. He added that the UNHRC is biased against Israel while protective towards Hamas.
