Obama Fumes as Netanyahu Schools Him on Real Peace - Israel Today

Obama Fumes as Netanyahu Schools Him on Real Peace

Sunday, September 11, 2016 |  Israel Today Staff
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the weekend uploaded another YouTube video, this time taking at the assertion (most often made by the Obama Administration) that the presence of Jews in Judea and Samaria (the so-called West Bank) is an obstacle to peace.
“I am perplexed by this notion,” stated Netanyahu, “because no one would suggest that the two million Arabs living inside Israel are an obstacle to peace. Because they aren’t.”
Netanyahu also turned the tables on the “ethnic cleansing” charge, noting that the only side trying to ethnically cleanse anything is the Palestinian leadership, which demands a state free of Jews.
While the prime minister only vaguely referenced “some enlightened nations” who are unfortunately backing this “outrageous” demand, he very clearly had the United States in mind as he asked, “Would you accept ethnic cleansing in your state? A territory without Jews, which Hispanics, without Blacks?”
The connection was not lost on the Obama White House.
“We obviously strongly disagree with the characterization that those who oppose settlement activity or view it as an obstacle to peace are somehow calling for ethnic cleansing of Jews from the West Bank,” US State Department spokeswoman Elizabeth Trudeau told reporters.
Trudeau added that what she called Netanyahu’s “inappropriate and unhelpful” remarks are the current topic of (probably heated) discussion with the Israeli government.

History & Truth - Now Think On This by Steve Martin


History & Truth

Now Think On This
Steve Martin


“However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. (John 16:13, NKJV)


Some memories you will never forget, being reminded of them through photos, music, and conversations that are shared at gatherings, or broadcast through other media. They are passed down from generation to generation, retelling the stories that had impact on the lives involved.

History is made that way. Events happen; people want to remember them; they are written down or captured in motion. It is one way to be assured that one never forgets. It is a way to accurately describe what took place then, so another down the road cannot say otherwise.

History books are written to also pass truth from one generation to another. Through these writings, what took place decades or centuries ago are kept recorded lest anyone forget what happened, how it happened, and why it happened. By knowing our history, it hopefully will never be altered by any current pressure to change the facts.

Those who try to rewrite history attempt to break down walls that stand against their lies. If a generation does not know their true history, eventually the lies will prevail, and overcome the historical truth. The walls that stood for truth will fall.

As believers in the Lord Jesus, we are called upon to know the truth. First, truth as recorded in the Scriptures, and also truth of the Lord’s work in our nations. If we fail to stand against the attempt of our enemies to destroy truth, what results will be a nation or people so mixed up in their convictions that anything can, and will, develop. Nothing will be held as truth if we neglect to stand for the truth now.

Know your Bible. Know truth. Be strong in your convictions as you stand for what is right. Don’t let the enemy keep you from walking in that which you know is righteous and true.

Now think on this,

Steve Martin

Continuing with another book edition of my latest inspirational writings of Now Think of This, I hope you are encouraged in your daily faith, to be faithful, as our Lord Jesus is faithful in all His ways. 

Our main example and inspiration is the Lord Jesus Himself, Who was faithful to the end. Others that have followed since His time on earth have stood for the truth He spoke. We do well to keep our eyes stayed on Him, so we too can practice faithfulness in the days, which I believe are near the end as the Bible speaks of before His promised return.

My prayer is that these short messages will help build your faith, stand for truth, and continue to be a light in the darkness that seeks to cover the earth.

The Lord Jesus is coming back, as the Lion of Judah, the King of kings and the Lord of lords. All eyes will see Him in the clouds, riding His mighty stead, the One Who is Faithful and True.

Even so, come Lord Yeshua.

Shalom,

Steve Martin

    EZRA NEWS - A newsletter brought to you by Ezra UK Issue 4 - Hungary & Aliyah to Israel


    Recent Olim Helped by Ezra


    In July and August six people we have helped made their aliyah.  One family of 3 - parents Ildiko and Jozsef and Joszef Junior and three young people on their own - Luca, Benjamin and Mercedesz.  All of them have been touched by anti-semitism in some way.  Their brief stories are below.  Please pray that the LORD will protect and guide them as they settle into their new lives in their Land of Promise.

    Eighteen year old Benjamin firmly believes that Israel is the land promised to the Jewish people.  He feels a strong connection to the land.  

    Some of Benjamin’s relatives perished in the holocaust.  His great grandfather died on the train on the way to a death camp.  Benjamin’s grandmother lost her aunts and uncles during the holocaust.

    Benjamin thinks that the political situation in Hungary is very frightening, especially with the rise of the Far Right.



    Jozsef and Ildiko from Budapest are making aliyah with their son, Jozsef jnr.  They see the rise of the radical far right as a good reason to make aliyah.

    Ildiko was often made fun of as a girl just because of being Jewish.  Her grandmother lost 3 of her sisters in Mauthausen concentration camp.  The grandmother survived the Budapest ghetto as did Ildiko’s father.


    Mercedesz is 20 years old and also from Budapest. Just one week before she made aliyah she was in a Budapest pub having a leaving party.  When she left the pub with her friends they were verbally abused by a group of Hungarians.  It seems that the attackers overheard Mercedesz talking about Israel.  The Police were called and the group disappeared.

    Mercedesz’s grandparents survived deportation to Auschwitz by escaping from the train they were travelling in.

    Mercedesz is not very interested in politics but feels that Hungary is no longer a safe place to live.



    Luca is 22 years old and also from Budapest.  Luca’s grandparents from her Father’s side both survived a Nazi work camp.  In 2014 Luca’s father was beaten up and verbally abused by neo-Nazis when he was on his way home from a Budapest synagogue.
    Luca has no confidence in Hungarian politics at all. She said that the anti-Semitic Jobbik party hate Jews simply because they are Jews.

    All these Olim were very grateful for the help they received from Ezra.


    Note: Love For His People supports this ministry with monthly gifts to the Clint family in Budapest, Hungary. The Clints work to help Hungarians Jews make aliyah to Israel.
