PEACE WITH PALESTINIANS: AN OPPORTUNITY FOR DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS
For 24 years both Israel and Palestinian negotiators have been constrained to one model for peace: a two-state solution. As both sides reject this option, and as Donald J. Trump assumes the office of the US Presidency, there is a unique opportunity to consider other solutions, other paradigms for peace. READ MORE...

Around the world, news agencies are finding it increasingly difficult to fund their operations. As a result, the quality of news, especially written news, is suffering. If you do not want to see this happen to news about Israel, from Israel, we need your help.
If you have a passion for the news, especially news about Israel and from Israeli perspectives, help us. Donate a monthly amount, endow us for the present and coming crucial years. CLICK HERE
Our primary financial need is to pay those who write for us. Many do so at no charge. Even so, every laborer deserves to be paid. Inasmuch as we pay our reporters, we facilitate their lives in Israel, encourage them and insure more and better stories in the future.
There is also a need to go on location where stories are happening stories. Because we are already in the Middle East, we do not have to go far. Still, there is a cost in sending reporters to places "on the ground" where stories are happening. Partner with us in this work through your monthly donation.

Asaph uses a refrain in this psalm which asks God to shine His infinite, glorious light upon his downtrodden people. He dreams of the return of the Lord to the people in a miraculous and overt manner. Just like God took the vine, representing the entire nation of Israel, out of Egypt and re-planted it in Canaan, so too should they receive God’s immediate deliverance in a complete and absolute fashion. Today, the Land of Israel is brimming with God's people and with the incredible efforts of Israel's pioneers and agriculturists, the vines of Egypt are growing with each passing week. But it's just not enough. Please consider planting a tree to truly help Israel flourish and restore the beauty of the Jewish homeland.
There are many very old trees in the Holy Land. We look at an olive, an oak, a cypress, and a carob, all of which have stories to tell about history and cultural traditions in Israel.
The Mount of Olives is a mountain ridge that lies adjacent to the eastern walls of the Old City of Jerusalem. In the days when the Second Temple stood, a special religious ceremony would take place at this very spot. Do you know the reason for their celebration? Write to us to take a guess.

Blessed to be able to plant one tree in my Israel! Currently visiting family in Australia. Hope to be able to visit Israel one day again before I die. Israel 365 is good resource. And beautiful. Spent time there in 1993-94 and 1998-1999. Sad about UNESCO votes. One day all will be made right again. No one can really take it away from us! Sharonah
Jennifer LeClaire is now sharing her reflections and revelations through Walking in the Spirit. Listen at charismapodcastnetwork.com.
Early in the morning on Election Day, I released a prophetic word titled: "On Election Day, a Kingdom Will Be Toppled." The next morning, the Holy Spirit told me the Jezebel curse had been broken off America.
With that, Brandon Showalter, a Bethel graduate and a new reporter over at the Christian Post, called to talk to me about the prophetic ministry in light of the presidential election. Below is part of that discussion from his article: "What Was the Role of Prophecy in the 2016 Election?"
"I think one of the reasons why people have disregarded many modern prophetic voices is because of the clamor and the renegade people who call themselves prophets who aren't really prophets; or those who are really immature prophets who aren't letting their words be judged before releasing them and therefore missing it badly," I told Brandon.
Brandon wrote: "Many non-Pentecostal Christian denominations do not have a theological grid for the prophetic because they hold to cessationism, the doctrine (that) states that the supernatural gifts of the spirit, like prophecy, ceased with the death of the last apostle or when the Canon of Scripture closed. Even those who do believe that the gifts continue today are commonly functionally cessationist because often little equipping is done and even less space given in public services for this to be practiced. These views are reinforced when the abuse of such supernatural gifts appear, of which there is no shortage via televangelists."
I shared with Brandon how several Christians staunchly asserted God told them Hillary Clinton was going be the next president, while others were equally insistent that the Lord said that Trump would emerge the winner.
What did I make of this, he asked?
"Clearly, now we see someone wasn't hearing correctly," I told him. "Now, I wonder, will those people come out and repent and say, 'You know what? I missed it.'"
But I also told him I think the fact that Trump did win, "should open the eyes of those who were on the fence about modern-day prophetic unctions. It should confirm to those who have long believed in the prophetic and that we can have accuracy."
"From here we have a real opportunity to say, 'You know what, the prophetic is real; prophets really are for today. Let's take another look and do some equipping," I told him. "Let's teach believers how to hear the voice of God, how to discern, how to judge a prophetic word. We have an opportunity in this moment to do Ephesians 4:11-12."
In conclusion, I told Brandon: "I think we have to handle the prophetic realm with integrity, we have to let our peers, our contemporaries judge the word if it is going to be impactful and speak to something of this nature, we have to have accountability. And if we would all do that you would see a lot of this flaky stuff being rooted out of the prophetic and people would take it more seriously."

President-Elect Trump: I'm Seriously Considering Dr. Ben Carson for HUD Secretary
One week ago, Dr. Ben Carson said he would prefer to serve President-Elect Donald Trump by providing counsel from outside Washington, D.C.
Two days ago, he said he was giving it a second thought, and that if he was asked, he would serve the president-elect in any capacity requested. Just a few moments ago, Trump tweeted:
I am seriously considering Dr. Ben Carson as the head of HUD. I've gotten to know him well—he's a greatly talented person who loves people!
We'll update this breaking story when there's more to report.
