News from Israel December 28th 2014 – Compiled by David Hoyle
As anti Semitism grows all
around the world with daily incidents in many countries I am reminded of a
remark made to me of a Holocaust survivors meeting sometime ago in Leeds “England
is getting more like Germany was in 1939 every day.” what she would say today I hesitate to
think.
The headline in yesterday's
Jewish Chronicle read “BBC boss: I've never felt so uncomfortable as a UK
Jew.” A senior, indeed one of the BBC's
most senior executives, he questioned the future of British Jewry in the light
of rising anti-Semitism Danny Cohen said “It's made me think, you know, is
it our long term home? I've never felt as I do now about anti Semitism in
Europe.”
Mr Cohen has no
responsibility for BBC news channels but during an interview on the news
channel the presenter Tim Willcox asserted that “prominent Jewish faces
would be against the mansion tax because they are all stinking rich & live
in mansions.” That statement was
after a question, the program had attacked the “Jewish lobby” for attempting to silence criticism of
Israel.
The BBC vigorously defended
these foul remarks. The Jewish
Chronicle went on to applaud Mr Cohen for speaking out & expressed the hope
that his own employer would take note!
As Bible believing Christians
who love Israel & the Jewish people its time for us to speak out & to
show our love & support to them.
Like Esther of old we may
have “come into the kingdom for such a time as this.”
LIMMUD is a conference held by our Jewish friends on an
annual basis with many speakers, I had the privilege of speaking there once as
one of 50 speakers. This year a number
of Jewish & Christian speakers who come to take part were refused entry to
the UK! No doubt if they had been
anti-Semitic haters of Israel or Muslim clerics they would have had no problem!
NICK CLEGG has acknowledged tensions in the Lib Dems between his party & the Jewish
community. He referred to Jews in the
UK living through “heightened anxiety” over anti Semitism but made no
reference to the vitriol & hatred which comes from some members of his
party.
ISLAMIC STATE The President of the European Jewish Congress has
said that it is a real possibility that the IS could become a major force in
Europe. It is, he said. a distinct
possibility they could extend from Iraq & Syria to take over Europe. He
further commented that before catastrophies Jews have invariably been attacked
& suggested Europe may be on the verge of such a catastrophy as Jews are
under very serious attack all over Europe.
He said every Jew in the world is at one time at least a victim of ant
Semitism.
LUCIANA BERGER The Labour politician recently received 2500
anti-Semitic tweets in 3 days. Many of
the attacks against her were orchestrated by a neo nazi website in
America. She is calling for action to
make racist language on line illegal & have them banned.
ISRAELS ELECTION MARCH
17 Tzipi Livni the leader of the Hatnua party has
been thrown a lifeline in her bid to stay in politics. Her party has linked with Labour in a bid to
bring down Mr Netanyahu. She &
Isaac Herzog have agreed that if elected they would rotate the premiership.
Ther seems every possibility
that the right wing & religious parties may link up to negate the threat of
a left wing government which would part with land & divide Jerusalem.
Yisrael Beiteinus leader
Guigdor Lieberman is setting out his stall to support whoever forms a
government but would demand a price. He
is certainly on the right & would naturally be nearest to Naftali Bennett
of the Settlers Party & Mr Netanyahu.
As is always the case in Israel there are so many parties that the
situation does not become clear for many weeks after the voting.
As the parties are neck &
neck we pray for god's over ruling & that the bible believers, notably Mr
Bennett & Mr Netanyahu win the day, in His Divine will.
UN There is now a Palestinian resolution to set a
deadline for the establishment of a Palestinian state before the Security
Council, sponsored by Jordan. America
is seeking to put off a vote until after Israel's election. Currently not enough Council have indicated
they would support it but new members join the Security Council
EUROPE The far right parties formed a new alliance this week
the “Alliance for Peace & Freedom”.
Delegates spoke of defending Christian values & one speaker
mentioned the danger of “Global Zionism”.
A few weeks later a Music
Festival drew neo Nazis & extremists from all over Europe to Milan.
HAMAS Jewish
communities across the world have condemned the decision by the EU to take
Hamas off the list of terror groups.
World Jewish leaders were incensed at the decision of the European Court
of Justice. It was variously described
as unacceptable, appalling & staggeringly hypocritical.
Professor Eric Moonman of the
Zionist Federation said Hamas are still a violent, destructive terrorist
organisation responsible for many deaths of Jews & Christians.
SYDNEY SIEGE A Jewish
father & son left the Lindt's café 15 minutes before the siege. They
described their preservation as a Chanuchah miracle, it being the Jewish
Festival at the time.
SETTLEMENTS Settlement
growth in Israel has surged under Mr Netanyahu & is growing fast now. Should Mr Netanyahu it might well stop so it
appears there is urgency to complete work in progress.
John Kerry continues to
oppose this & put pressure on Israel as does our own government.
The world of course wants the
West Bank & East Jerusalem as a Palestinian State.
PLO Has instructed reporters to stop calling the Temple
Mount by its Jewish name & call it Al – Aqsa Compound. This is just
another attempt to erase the perception of the public of its Jewish connection
to the temple Mount & Jerusalem.
CALIPHATE Shortly after his release from prison Sheik Rael
Solah said Jerusalem will shortly become the capital of the Global
Caliphate.
They will he said, spread
justice!
FEDERICA MOGHERINS The new Foreign affairs chief visited Israel &
stated there was an urgent need for a Palestinian State with East Jerusalem as
its capital.
Prime Minister Mr Netanyahu
responded promptly “Jerusalem is our capital & not a settlement.”
ALAN DUNCAN A lifelong globalist & former UK government
minister who retains a desk in the Foreign Office made a series of stinging
attacks on Israel. He described West
Bank settlements as a “widespread cocktail of occupation & illegality!”
He was scathing about those
who “lobby for Israel” & Evangelical Christians
