There has been wild speculation that US President Donald Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel will damage the peace process and ultimately hurt the Jewish state.

It's a scaremongering tactic that has long been used to coerce Israel into abandoning its historical claims and red lines.

But Israelis are no longer buying it.

The monthly Peace Index survey released this week revealed that a firm majority of Israeli Jews believe Trump truly understands Israel's concerns and is helping the Jewish state, despite hysterical reactions to the contrary.

According to the poll, 65 percent of Israeli Jews believe Trump's Jerusalem declaration was in Israel's best interests. Roughly the same percentage of Israeli Arabs said the opposite.

A strong 59 percent majority of Israeli Jews said that in general, Trump understands Israel's interests and is acting to their benefit.

UPDATED: LoveMovement - supplying international pastors with free teaching materials.

LoveMovement - supplying international pastors 

with free teaching materials.

July 21, 2017

Greetings my friends of Love For His People.

Recently the Lord gave me the desire to provide pastors in other nations with free teaching materials. Now that we have 15 books that I have written and published, we have some!

When I worked with Derek Prince Ministries in Fort Lauderdale, Florida from 1990-1993 (and then again in Charlotte, North Carolina from 2001-2005 for a total of eight years), Derek had the International Director David Selby establish and manage an outreach of the ministry to supply pastors with his teaching materials. It was called "Global Outreach".

LoveMoevement will be based on that inspiration and provision. We will seek to give, free of charge, pastors needing good, solid Biblical teaching for their churches and small group gatherings. I believe we can be an instrument to meet a portion of that need.

Thus, being I really like logos, I am having my son Ben, who has a great gift in graphic art design and website creation, to come up with an image that portrays what this ministry outreach will accomplish.

And...being I love camels, what a way to show the supply train!

So, I would like to get your opinion and thoughts. Which of these three concepts do you like best? Or any other thoughts you might in love share.

If you see this on Facebook or Google+, speak now in the comment section. If on Twitter, send a tweet back. And if on this blog...comment at the bottom in the Comment section.

Thanks!

Ride 'em camel!!!

A new survey confirms that a solid majority of Israelis believe Donald Trump will enact pro-Israel policies as the next president of the United States.

Commissioned by the Ruderman Family Foundation, the poll revealed that an overwhelming 83 percent of Israelis anticipate Trump will be a “pro-Israel president.”

That is a far different result than when Israelis were asked the same question following the election of Barack Obama in 2008.

But that doesn’t mean they think he’ll bring peace.

Just 45 percent of respondents believe Trump can succeed in negotiating a final status peace agreement between Israel and the Arabs.

Unlike with past presidents, a whopping 75 percent of the Israelis questioned said Trump won’t let the lack of a peace agreement stop him from moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem.

Regarding Iran, a 45 percent plurality of respondents said there is a possible-to-good chance Trump will tear up the Obama-brokered nuclear agreement. Israel views that agreement as a threat to its long-term security.

POLL: Israelis Now Prefer Trump, Decry Biased Media Coverage - Ryan Jones ISRAEL TODAY

POLL: Israelis Now Prefer Trump, Decry Biased Media Coverage

Sunday, October 30, 2016 |  Ryan Jones  ISRAEL TODAY

Earlier polls suggested Hillary Clinton was the favorite US presidential candidate among Israelis, but the tables appear to have turned and a slim majority now prefer Donald Trump win the White House.

That according to a survey conducted by the Israeli polling company Maagar Mochot last week.

Overall, 54 percent of respondents said Trump would be better for Israel, while 46 percent said the same of Clinton.

Interestingly, it was Israeli Arab respondents who really pushed the numbers in favor of Trump. An overwhelming 74 percent of Israeli Arabs who expressed an opinion preferred Trump. Among Jewish respondents, a far slimmer 51 percent majority chose the Republican candidate.

When it comes to local media coverage of the US election, and it is being covered nearly as heavily as an Israeli election, survey respondents decried what they perceived as biased reporting.

A 45 percent plurality said the Israeli media is treating Clinton more favorably, 28 percent see the coverage as balanced, and just 27 percent feel Trump is getting a boost.

The new November issue of Israel Today Magazine takes a more in-depth look at local Israeli attitudes toward the US election and the candidates.

Poll: 67% of Russians hope for God’s help - TRUNEWS

Poll: 67% of Russians hope for God’s help 

TURNEWS 04.28.16

  

Russians have begun to hope for God’s help, and/or have begun to speak about the predestination of people’s fate by God, twice as often in the past 25 years, sociologists said, citing a poll conducted by the All-Russia Public Opinion Research Center (VTsIOM).

The poll, which surveyed 1,600 people living in 130 populated areas, of 46 regions of Russia, was conducted on April 23-24.

Sixty-seven percent of the respondents said they hope for God’s help in their daily life to a certain extent, which is a 18 percent increase from 1991 (49 percent).

Fourteen percent of the respondents (against 21 percent in 1991) said they do not believe in God, and 11 percent said they do not hope for God’s help. Three percent of the respondents answered differently and 5 percent were undecided.

As compared to 1991, Russians now believe more in phenomena associated with religion. Fifty percent of the respondents said they believe in religious miracles, which is a 18 percent increase from 1991 (32 percent). Forty-six percent of the respondents (against 33 percent 25 years ago) are confident that there is life after death. Forty percent believe in the devil and hell (against 25 percent and 24 percent in 1991).

Responding to a question as to whether human life is predestined by higher forces, 48 percent of the respondents said that it is (against 25 percent in 1991).

Forty-five percent of the respondents surveyed in 1991, said that human life does not depend on God’s plan, and now, only 26 percent of the respondents said so. Eighteen percent of the respondents said they equally disagree, and agree, with the allegation that human life is predestined by God.

Speaking about whether anti-religious works should be banned at the legislative level, 58 percent of the respondents answered positively. This indicator has not changed since 1991 (58 percent). Twenty-five percent of the respondents spoke against such a ban, and 17 percent were undecided.

“NOT ONE CHURCH IS EMPTY”

The rise of religious sentiment among citizens has been noticed, particularly by the Russian Orthodox Church. The number of parishioners is growing not just quantitatively, but qualitatively, the head of the press service of the Patriarch Alexander Volkov told RBTH.

“We experienced the first wave of religiosity just after the Soviet period, when crowds of people went to the church, but it was not always a conscious effort,” said Volkov. “Now people are doing it with more forethought.”

The church has taken notice and over the past five years, Moscow has significantly increased the number of parishes – from 894 in 2012 to 1,110 in 2015. But this is not enough according to Volkov.

“Now we understand that we need many more churches,” he said. “Not one of the constructed temples is empty. All are full or are even overcrowded.”

Poll: Majority of Palestinians Oppose Third Intifada, Prefer Fatah over Hamas By JNI Media - BREAKING ISRAEL NEWS

Poll: Majority of Palestinians Oppose Third Intifada, Prefer Fatah over Hamas

By JNI Media February 8, 2016  BREAKING ISRAEL NEWS

“And the LORD sent an angel, who cut off all the mighty men of valour, and the leaders and captains, in the camp of the king of Assyria.” (2 Chronicles 32:21)

According to a poll conducted by the Arab World for Research and Development institute (AWRAD), the majority of Palestinians currently oppose a third intifada. According to AWRAD, this may be reflective of the security and economic conditions cited in its report, but also the fact that a majority of Arabs in Judea and Samaria believes a new intifada would impede statehood; a reversal of sentiments expressed in AWRAD’s October 2015 poll, conducted in the early days of the current crisis, when a majority expressed support for a new uprising. A strong majority of respondents currently opposes the dissolution of the PA and the return of a full Israeli occupation.

AWRAD, a research, consulting and development firm based in Ramallah, on Saturday issued a “Public Opinion Poll in the West Bank and Gaza Strip” for January 2016 which may offer the first glimmer of hope for an end to the current wave of terror. Fieldwork for the poll was conducted from 27 to 28 January 2016, with a total of 1,200 Judea and Samaria Arabs interviewed.

Overall, four-fifths of respondents support immediate legislative and presidential elections, and in a hypothetical presidential election, the PLO’s Mahmoud Abbas would defeat Hamas’s Ismail Haniyeh, with a greater support for Abbas’s candidacy in Gaza. Additionally, in terms of legislative elections, Fatah (PLO) is the most popular political party, receiving more than double the support of Hamas.

According to AWRAD, Violence since October 2015 has negatively impacted the lives of the average Judea and Samaria Arabs. Majorities of respondents (especially in the West Bank) report that the security in their region has diminished, along with economic conditions. Palestinians report deteriorating economic circumstances, shrinking opportunities for investment and loss of income or jobs as a result of the current security situation. The strain of the present circumstances is reflected in views towards the future. A majority of the Arabs polled believe “Palestine” is currently heading in the wrong direction. However, despite this apprehension, roughly half of them are optimistic about the future.

POLL: More Israeli Arabs Recognize Jewish Claim to Land | Israel Today Staff

POLL: More Israeli Arabs Recognize Jewish Claim to Land

Tuesday, January 12, 2016 |  Israel Today Staff

A growing number, in fact now a majority, of Israeli Arabs recognize Jewish rights and claims to this land, according to the latest installment of the monthly Peace Index survey conducted by Tel Aviv University and the Israel Democracy Institute.

The poll’s third question asked respondents whether they “agree or disagree with the claim that the Jews’ historical, religious, and cultural bond to the land and the Palestinians’ historical, religious, and cultural bond to the land are equally strong.”

Unsurprisingly, 92.8 percent of Jewish respondents either agreed or insisted that Jewish claims to the land are stronger than those of the Palestinians.

What did some as a shock to many was the fact that 41.3 percent of Israeli Arabs agreed with the statement, while a further 15.9 percent agreed with most Jews that the Jewish claims to the land were stronger than those of the Palestinians.

Again, 57.2 percent of Israeli Arabs said that Jewish claims to this land are equal to or stronger than Palestinian claims.

This revelation comes at a time when several different local Arab movements and public figures, both Christian and Muslim, are encouraging greater integration with the Jewish majority.

LOVE FOR HIS PEOPLE FEATURED BOOK

PAPERBACK: $5.95

KINDLE" $1.99

Buy here: Why Israel? by Steve Martin

Why Israel? Why not? This little booklet consists of messages previously written in my books, which of themselves contain many various themes. I wanted to devote one book to just Israel and the Jewish people, and so this small booklet was compiled.

As you read the following, consider the truth contained in Scriptures, from Genesis to Revelation, which spell out the commitment of God the Father to choose a people who will be a light to the nations. He chose the Jews, and gave them the Promised Land of Israel. It does not matter what other national governments try to say, do, or accomplish apart from the plans and purposes of the Lord. 

They will fail. His Word is true. It is eternal. He is the same, yesterday, today and forever, and thus His commitment in keeping His promises made to the Jewish people will be fulfilled. I hope you stand with them in these last days.

Bible vs. Quran: Which Is Better for America? CBN NEWS CHARISMA NEWS

Bible vs. Quran: Which Is Better for America?

11/5/2015 CBN NEWS  charisma news

Join us on our podcast each weekday for an interesting story, well told, from Charisma News. Listen at charismapodcastnetwork.com.

---

A majority of Americans believe the country would be better off if people followed the teachings of the Bible over the Quran, the Muslim holy book.

Lifeway Research interviewed 1,000 Americans to learn their opinions about the Bible and Quran.

The results are a bit shocking.

Questioners asked interviewees if they considered the text of each book to be dangerous, and if it would be helpful, or harmful for American society to follow the teachings of each.

Twenty-four percent of Americans considered the Quran to be a dangerous book, and only 9 percent felt that way about the Bible. Eighty percent said the Bible is good for American society.

But the most shocking response came when 28 percent of respondents said they think following the Quran would be good for the country, and 25 percent said they didn't know if the Quran is dangerous, or good.

How could this be, when only slightly more than one half of one percent of the total U.S. population is Muslim?

According to the 2010 U.S. Religion Census, 2.6-million Americans are Muslim. That figure has grown by 1.6 million since 2000.

Are these informed and educated opinions about the Quran, or views based on feelings?

Those polled were not asked if they had read the Quran, or if they were familiar with Islamic teachings.

The Lifeway survey also found that 14 percent of respondents felt that following the Bible's teachings would be harmful to American society, while 33 percent felt the same about the Quran.

Also, Lifeway Research found significant differences of opinion based on region and age.

While 30 percent of Southerners agreed that the Quran is a dangerous book, only 17 percent of Northeasterners felt the same way. Younger people are less likely than older Americans to agree with the danger assessment of the Quran. Only 14 percent of those age 18-24 said the Quran is a dangerous book, while more than one third of those 65+ (34 percent) felt the same way.

And Southerners (7 percent) are less likely than Westerners (12 percent) to believe that the Bible is a dangerous book.
