What's the Deal With Kuwait, and Why's the World Ignoring It? - Tsvi Sadan ISRAEL TODAY

What's the Deal With Kuwait, and Why's the World Ignoring It?

Monday, June 04, 2018 |  Tsvi Sadan  ISRAEL TODAY
Kuwait calling for a UN resolution to set up an international "protection mission" for the Palestinians is just the latest in a long list of initiatives to condemn and vilify Israel by the oil-rich emirate. 
One need but recall the outrageous behavior of the speaker of Kuwait's National Assembly, Marzouq Al-Ghanim, during the Forum for International Parliaments held in St. Petersburg last October. "Occupiers and murderers of children," he lashed out at the Israeli delegation, who left the forum after Al-Ghanim said that Israel "represents the worst form of terrorism." For more than two years now, Kuwait Airways has been discriminating against Israelis, a practice that, by the way, was approved by a German court. In short, Kuwait, which owes its very existence to the West, has become a real menace for Israel. 
To better understand the behavior of Kuwait's de facto ruler, this 49-year-old billionaire who is largely filling in for the absent 89-year-old Emir Sabah Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, I spoke with Edy Cohen from the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies. Cohen, who has tens of thousands of followers on his Arabic-language Facebook page and is one of the very few Israelis invited to speak on Al-Jazeera, knows the Muslim world at least as well as the Muslims themselves.
Cohen says that Al-Ghanim's Israel-bashing is a shrewd tactic to gain popularity in the Muslim world. His reputation was badly damaged after his 2011 jailing of Kuwaiti lawmakers who protested against corruption. Al-Ghanim is now a hero of the Palestinians, who, we must not forget, cheered for Saddam Hussein. Streets in Nablus and Qalqilya are named after the Iraqi dictator, who famously invaded and tried to annex Kuwait. This thing, says Cohen, shows once again that Israel-hatred is what unites the otherwise deeply divided Muslims.
Kuwait's condemnation of Israel, says Cohen, is yet another severe case of hypocrisy. Few in the world have ever heard of "Bidoon," he says. Bidoon, translated "without," which is particularly prevalent in Kuwait, refers to a social class without rights. Cohen views these Bidoons as nothing less than 21st century slaves. It was Al-Ghanim himself who canceled the Kuwaiti law that granted citizenship and rights to more then 70,000 people living under the oppressive Bidoon status. This person who condemns Israel ceaselessly, who is feeding on the Palestinian hope of eradicating Israel, denies basic rights to his own people.
This is the new Kuwait, says Cohen, and it is a shame that the rest of the world continues to turn a blind eye toward the real villains in this region. Cohen concludes that all one really need to do to get away with despotism in today's Middle East is deflect one's own misconduct toward Israel.

The victory of Yeshua has gone viral! - ONE FOR ISRAEL




Dr. Erez Soref, President of ONE FOR ISRAEL 
Shalom!
 
We have been astonished to see that the powerful testimony of our sister from Kuwait has gone viral! After posting her video last week, it has already been viewed almost 2 million times. Praise God that such stories of Yeshua's victory and transformational power are being spread all around the world.

Thank you if you have helped to share the good news by passing our videos on to others - you are part of this story! If you would like a ONE FOR ISRAEL t-shirt like the one worn in the video, we now have them available to buy for everyone.

If you haven't yet had a chance to see the amazing video, you can watch it here:

 

DELEGATION FROM ISRAEL COLLEGE OF THE BIBLE SENT TO GERMANY

On Thursday, another team of Jewish and Arab believers from our Bible college will be sent to serve alongside local churches in Germany. They will be doing evangelism and outreach with refugees, children and students. 

It is always impactful to see Jewish and Arab believers working together in harmony! It has been amazing too that Israeli Arabs have been able to impart God's heart for Israel to those coming from a Muslim background.

Please pray that many are touched by the power of God, by the power of the gospel, and are saved. Pray for divine opportunities for the team, and for God to bless every minute of their time serving overseas.

 

We're looking forward to seeing many of you at our upcoming fundraising banquets in California and Ohio! Each banquet is a unique opportunity for folks in the area to hear the amazing things God is doing in Israel today and find out ways to partner with us. If you'd like to come, make sure to  register on the website and don't forget to invite friends and family!


Zion is Not a Dirty Word

Great is the Lord, and most worthy of praise, in the city of our God, His holy mountain. Beautiful in its loftiness, the joy of the whole earth, like the heights of Zaphon is Mount Zion, the city of the Great King. (Psalm 48:1-2)
 
How did the word Zion become so sullied? The Psalms talk of Zion in glorious terms, but today it has some very different connotations. Continue reading...


New Covenant Prophecy

In Jeremiah 31:31 God states that since we, the people of Israel, failed to keep the Sinaitic covenant, He will make a new covenant different than the Sinaitic covenant. 

"Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah..." 

This new covenant does not mean that God throws away His people. Truth be told, this new covenant is first and foremost made with Israel. And from there, on to the rest of the world. Continue reading...

New documentary unveils truth about Jerusalem like never before - Israel Video Network

unveiling-Jeursalem-email

Unfortunately, anti-Semites at UNESCO are determined to rewrite history and deny the Jewish people their historical, biblical and national rights to Jerusalem. The world might continue to reject Israel's legitimate claim to the Temple Mount, but in the end it is a Jewish site and it will one day return to the full control of the Jews. The evidence is clear. The Jewish presence on the Temple Mount has existed for 3,000 years and no anti-Semite can erase or deny this fact.
