Save the Christians: The Forgotten Refugees

This film is a first access look into the lives of Iraqi Christians who, under threat of death from ISIS, were forced to flee their ancestral homeland.

While the international community has opened its doors to Syrian (muslim) refugees, it ignores the Christian genocide happening right before its eyes. 

The few who make it to refugee camps, are targeted for violence. Those seeking a safe haven are routinely shunned by Western governments~just check the immigration figures. The suffering Christians of Iraq have nowhere left to run to.

Why is the world ignoring these refugees? Why are the Christians of the world remaining silent to their suffering at they same time they open churches to be used a mosques? Why?

Remember the often repeated statement: “First the Saturday People (Jews), then the Sunday People (Christians),” which means “first we kill the Jews, then we kill the Christians.” Take a good hard, honest look at the Middle East now. The Jews have already been driven out of every country except Israel and now the Christians are facing the same fate. The choices are convert or die. Those who still have the means and ability are trying to flee. 

Even resettlement is being denied them now, as the muslim populations are rapidly growing across Europe and the west and the government elites seem to have chosen sides. Check the immigration records of each country and compare the numbers of muslim and Christians allowed in. There is an appalling lack of Christians.

Ask yourself this:

   1)  What will you do in the west when you are eventually faced with the choices (convert or die)?  

   2)  What are you prepared to do NOW to help your suffering Christian brothers and sisters?

Christians in the Middle East Have Been Witnessing Their Faith in the Saviour Since His Birth

East Jerusalem Village Head Speaks Out...

Once again "Peace Talks" are scheduled to resume. People will fly in for a few hours and presume to know what the Middle East "Needs". Each side has an opinion, as do those on the outside, inside, upside and downside. Tours claiming to "educate" will only show a very small piece of the problem. It is very easy to "stack the deck".

Meanwhile, day to day life goes on. Arabs, Jews, Christians and people from every walk of life are living in Israel. Once in awhile there are incidents~an attack, an act of terror~that is fact.  It is horror that freezes the mind and grief that will never leave. Yet, life continues

Every day we go to work, use the same transportation systems, shops, hospitals and carry on our lives in the great melting pot called Israel. Walk down the main street and you will see and hear such a diversity of people and languages it is unbelievable. Pay attention and you will learn that Israelis are from every corner of the globe and consist of good and bad, rich and poor, just like any other country in the world. The majority just want to raise our children, go to work, school and places of worship for those who choose to and enjoy the delights of the land. 

As the dialogue for "deals" begin, perhaps we need to listen to the regular folks who are actually living and working and trying to get by from day to day. The man in this interview is the head of a village in East Jerusalem. Listen to what he is saying and remember, before you scream Israel is "apartheid", remember that this is an Arab-Israeli speaking...

Head of East Jerusalem Village: We Want to be Under Israel~NOT the PA

The Myth Of Palestinian Arab Refugees Exposed

For many years there have been opposing sides on the issue of "Palestinian Refugees". This topic has been discussed, fought over and tossed around for years. For some reason, (unknown it seems) to the western world, the problem is growing with frightening speed. Why?

Part of the problem is the western way of thinking and its incompatibility with the middle-east mind set. Part of it is a plethora of red herrings making understanding difficult to say the least. We are constantly looking for videos, that contain facts and figures to help those who are interested in truth. The video below is from a series made by former Ambassador, Yorim Ettinger.

Yarom Ettinger is an insider on US-Israel relations, Mideast politics and overseas investments in Israel's high tech.  He is a member of the American-Israel Demographic Research Group (AIDRG), which has documented dramatic flaws behind demographic fatalism on one hand and a Jewish demographic momentum on the other hand.

Mr. Ettinger is a consultant to members of Israel’s Cabinet and Knesset, and regularly briefs U.S. legislators and their staff on Israel’s contribution to vital U.S. interests, on the root causes of international terrorism and other issues of bilateral concern. Ambassador (ret.) Ettinger's Op Eds have been published in Israel and in the US, and he has been interviewed on Israel's and US’ TV and radio.  He was also a speaker at an AIPAC Annual Conference.

Ambassador (ret.) Ettinger~who did his graduate studies at UCLA and undergraduate at UTEP~served as Minister for Congressional Affairs at Israel's Embassy in Washington (with a rank of an ambassador), Israel's Consul General in Houston and Director of Israel's Government Press Office.  He is the editor of Straight from the Jerusalem Cloakroom and Boardroom newsletters on issues of national security and overseas investments in Israel's high-tech.

Byzantine Hymn of the Nativity~Sung in Arabic

Now, more than ever as Christians are being "cleansed" from their lands in the middle-east we need to be aware of  "where" the original Christians lived and worshiped since the birth of Christ. 

Regardless of what "wiki" sites say, the first Christians originated, and have remained in their lands in the Middle-East, until today. 

Sadly, we are seeing these stalwart believers being tortured and murdered for their faith. 

What is the Christian world doing about it? Where are the voices of the UN, EU and most importantly, the Church?

If we do not act now, an entire people (faith) will be removed from the Middle-East. This year, this Christmas, All Christians need to stand up and demand that tradition and freedom of worship be protected and upheld. Those who would oppress must be stopped! It cannot be, that the birth of Jesus is met with violence, bloodshed and the threat of extinction of the very people and faith that His Birth brought into our world!

Terror Wave Against Israel

A Very Good Report on the State of Affairs in Israel and the Middle-East

Here is the Scripture Referred to in the Video:   Ezekiel 38 to 39 (NKJV)

Ezekiel 38

1] Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2] “Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him, 

3] and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal.

4] I will turn you around, put hooks into your jaws, and lead you out, with all your army, horses, and horsemen, all splendidly clothed, a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords.

5] Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya are with them, all of them with shield and helmet;

6] Gomer and all its troops; the house of Togarmah from the far north and all its troops~many people are with you.
7] “Prepare yourself and be ready, you and all your companies that are gathered about you; and be a guard for them.

8] After many days you will be visited. In the latter years you will  come into the land of those brought back from the sword and gathered from many people on the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate; they were brought out of the nations, and now all of them dwell safely.  

9] You will ascend, coming like a storm, covering the land like a cloud, you and all your troops and many peoples with you.”
10] ‘Thus says the Lord God: “On that day it shall come to pass that thoughts will arise in your mind, and you will make an evil plan:

11] You will say, ‘I will go up against a land of unwalled villages; I will go to a peaceful people, who dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates’...

12] to take plunder and to take booty, to stretch out your hand against the waste places that are again inhabited, and against a people gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and goods, who dwell in the midst of the land.

13] Sheba, Dedan, the merchants of Tarshish, and all their young lions will say to you, ‘Have you come to take plunder? Have you gathered your army to take booty, to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to take great plunder?’”’
14] “Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “On that day when My people Israel dwell safely, will you not know it?

15] Then you will come from your place out of the far north, you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great company and a mighty army.

16] You will come up against My people Israel like a cloud, to cover the land. It will be in the latter days that I will bring you against My land, so that the nations may know Me, when I am hallowed in you, O Gog, before their eyes.”

17] Thus says the Lord God: “Are you he of whom I have spoken in former days by My servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied for years in those days that I would bring you against them?
18] “And it will come to pass at the same time, when Gog comes against the land of Israel,” says the Lord God, “that My fury will show in My face.

19] For in My jealousy and in the fire of My wrath I have spoken: ‘Surely in that day there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel,

20] so that the fish of the sea, the birds of the heavens, the beasts of the field, all creeping things that creep on the earth, and all men who are on the face of the earth shall shake at My presence. The mountains shall be thrown down, the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.’ 21] I will call for a sword against Gog throughout all My mountains,” says the Lord God. “Every man’s sword will be against his brother.

22] And I will bring him to judgment with pestilence and bloodshed; I will rain down on him, on his troops, and on the many peoples who are with him, flooding rain, great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.

23] Thus I will magnify Myself and sanctify Myself, and I will be known in the eyes of many nations. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.”’

Ezekiel 39
1] “And you, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal;

2] and I will turn you around and lead you on, bringing you up from the far north, and bring you against the mountains of Israel.

3] Then I will knock the bow out of your left hand, and cause the arrows to fall out of your right hand. 4] You shall fall upon the mountains of Israel, you and all your troops and the peoples who are with you; I will give you to birds of prey of every sort and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.

5] You shall fall on the open field; for I have spoken,” says the Lord God.

6]“And I will send fire on Magog and on those who live in security in the coastlands. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.

7] So I will make My holy name known in the midst of My people Israel, and I will not let them profane My holy name anymore. Then the nations shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel.

8] Surely it is coming, and it shall be done,” says the Lord God. “This is the day of which I have spoken.
9] “Then those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go out and set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and bucklers, the bows and arrows, the javelins and spears; and they will make fires with them for seven years.

10] They will not take wood from the field nor cut down any from the forests, because they will make fires with the weapons; and they will plunder those who plundered them, and pillage those who pillaged them,” says the Lord God.
11] “It will come to pass in that day that I will give Gog a burial place there in Israel, the valley of those who pass by east of the sea; and it will obstruct travelers, because there they will bury Gog and all his multitude. Therefore they will call it the Valley of Hamon Gog.

12] For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them, in order to cleanse the land.

13] Indeed all the people of the land will be burying, and they will gain renown for it on the day that I am glorified,” says the Lord God.

14] “They will set apart men regularly employed, with the help of a search party, to pass through the land and bury those bodies remaining on the ground, in order to cleanse it. At the end of seven months they will make a search.

15] The search party will pass through the land; and when anyone sees a man’s bone, he shall set up a marker by it, till the buriers have buried it in the Valley of Hamon Gog.

16] The name of the city will also be Hamonah. Thus they shall cleanse the land.”’
A Triumphant Festival
17] “And as for you, son of man, thus says the Lord God, ‘Speak to every sort of bird and to every beast of the field:
“Assemble yourselves and come;
Gather together from all sides to My sacrificial meal Which I am sacrificing for you,
A great sacrificial meal on the mountains of Israel, That you may eat flesh and drink blood.
 18] You shall eat the flesh of the mighty, Drink the blood of the princes of the earth, Of rams and lambs, Of goats and bulls, All of them fatlings of Bashan.
19] You shall eat fat till you are full, And drink blood till you are drunk, At My sacrificial meal Which I am sacrificing for you.
20] You shall be filled at My table With horses and riders, With mighty men And with all the men of war,” says the Lord God.
21] “I will set My glory among the nations; all the nations shall see My judgment which I have executed, and My hand which I have laid on them. 

22] So the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God from that day forward. 

23] The Gentiles shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity; because they were unfaithful to Me, therefore I hid My face from them. I gave them into the hand of their enemies, and they all fell by the sword. 

24] According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions I have dealt with them, and hidden My face from them.”’
25] Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Now I will bring back the captives of Jacob, and have mercy on the whole house of Israel; and I will be jealous for My holy name~

26] after they have borne their shame, and all their unfaithfulness in which they were unfaithful to Me, when they dwelt safely in their own land and no one made them afraid. 

27] When I have brought them back from the peoples and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and I am hallowed in them in the sight of many nations, 

28] then they shall know that I am the Lord their God, who sent them into captivity among the nations, but also brought them back to their land, and left none of them captive any longer. 

29] And I will not hide My face from them anymore; for I shall have poured out My Spirit on the house of Israel,’ says the Lord God.

The Truth About the Balance of Power in the Middle East

Danny Ayalon~Former DM Foreign Affairs and Israeli Ambassador to the US Explains...

Christians ARE The World's Most Persecuted Minority

The World Press Remains Silent~Why? Raymond Ibrahim Explains~Please Listen Carefully!

UNWRA Goes to War~Trains Child Jihadis With Your Tax Dollars!

Over the years, Hamas has turned Gaza into a breeding ground for terror. One would think that they would fade away, considering the huge  numbers they "claim" to have been "martyred". The truth is, there are endless lines of young jihadis waiting to "die for the cause". They do so because they are trained from birth to hate. They are taught that death is the only way.

"But" you may say, they are educated in "United Nations Schools", surely they will be turned away from terror? Sadly, that is not the case. It is the very schools paid for and continuously funded by the United Nations that are raising up future terrorists. The fact is, they are ready to kill and die by the time they reach grade school.

In the film below, created by David Bedein, the truth of the UNWRA schools and operations is revealed (not for the first time)~operations that are funded by the United Nations, which is funded by your tax dollars. What needs to be addressed is the billions of dollars pumped into the evil nest of barbarians called Hamas. This is Money that should be used for "real" refugees like the Yazidis, and Syrians who are under attack, starved and brutally slaughtered in the tens of thousands; or the people in Africa who are dying from Ebola~partly due to primitive conditions and the lack of funds for medicine~or for that matter, acceptable drinking water and toilet facilities.

There is no excuse for this! Over the years, UNWRA has managed to increase their refugee population from around 500,000 to almost 7 Million!! Children who are born in America and other free countries are being brought back to the middle east and registered by the PA as refugees. They are not! 

Children born in Gaza are born to hate and die~they are not given allowed to think or dream of anything else. All this is funded~By Your Tax Dollars!

Consider that the employees are all Gazans, most of whom are Hamas members. Consider that there is virtually nobody to challenge the hate filled motives of Hamas. Those who do vanish very quickly. The only possible way to change this is to stop the flow of funds. Force the "benevolent" Hamas leaders to dip into the billions they have pocketed over the years and use it to build their state instead of rockets.

At about 5:00 the film examines the schools and interviews children and teachers. Please force yourself to listen~carefully~to the end. Ask yourself:  

What on earth are the staff and teachers in UNWRA schools "teaching" to these children that would prompt them to make the following statements??

"We want to sent a message to Netanyahu~We will die and not surrender"

...everyone has to sacrifice their blood for their country, and they have to die as martyrs,

to die as a martyr creates a state of relaxation for the people and for the martyr's family

                                Q:  In your school curriculum does Israel exist on the map?

                                A:  No, it doesn't exist

                               Q:  Do you study jihad in the UNWRA classroom?

                               A: Yes

Time after time the question is asked~"Why"~Why does UNWRA receive more money than all the rest of the world's refugees combined? Common sense tells us this funding of terror should be stopped.

~Is anyone listening? Apparently not!

PM Netanyahu: Two Pieces of Advice for Presbyterian Church

Click on Picture to Enlarge

Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu was asked about the recent "divestment / boycott" from Israel and Israeli products by the Presbyterian Church.

He responded with two pieces of advice:

1) Fly to Israel...visit the Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria.

2) ...Take a bus and tour Libya, Syria, Iraq, etc....but make sure it's an

   armoured bus~and don't say that you are Christians.

It has also been posted that this church is now planning to remove the word "Israel" from its prayer books.

One must ask if they also plan to change the Bible to insure comlete removal of "Israel"? (Don't even ask about banning the medical and technical innovations that Israel has given the world)

The picture above is scan taken from the "Original, 1611 King James Version of the Bible", telling us that nothing (...not one jot or tittle) in the Bible shall be changed. Here are the original words...

For verily I say vnto you, Till heauen and earth passe, one iote or one title, shall in no wise passe from the law, till all be fulfilled...Matthew 5:18 (Original 1611 KJV Bible)

Those who read scripture are familiar with this commandment, and surely, a "church" would be even more aware. The idea that they feel they have the right to erase Israel for any reason smacks of chutzpah!

The church needs to examine the middle east, with "honest" eyes. In every country Christians are being persecuted, and Muslims are being killed by other Muslims. Women have no rights, the press is stifled. Only in tiny Israel are the Christian and Muslim communities free to grow and practice their faith. Only in Israel do they have full voting rights. Only in Israel are women free to choose their occupation and lifestyle.

Calling a divestment or boycott, because Israel defends her people from another genocide, speaks of the willfull blindness of those who do think in this way. Again, in the words taken from the original source...

Heare now this, O foolish people, and without vnderstanding, which haue eyes and see not, which haue eares and heare not...Jeremiah 5:21 (Original 1611 KJV Bible)

Yes, Israel has many problems and makes many mistakes, but to choose to divestment, boycott, and attempting to ban Israel from the world is equivalent to demanding euthanization of all "mini-poodles" because a "bull-mastiff" attacked the kid next door.

If the Presbyterian Church truly wants to change things, and truly desires to better the situation in the Middle East, perhaps they should call for and end to the persecution of Christians in Arab countries? Forget about the Jews~how about your fellow Christians who are being slaughtered on a daily basis?

To really bring about change, one has to believe in God and prayer. One must pray to God and ask for change...But the prayers must be made with complete, deep, faith and obedience. In today's world, people are very good at reciting the words with great theatrical aplomb, but God knows what is really in their hearts. Only prayer can rescue our broken world, but that prayer will only be answered if it is given up humbly and sincerely to the Lord and King of All.

And I will blesse them that blesse thee, and curse him, that curseth thee: and in thee shal all families of the earth be blessed...Genesis 12:3 (Original 1611 KJV Bible)

Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu
