Posters leaving out Al Aksa mosque plastered on buses with e. Jerusalem routes.
While tensions continue to simmer around the Temple Mount after riots in and around the capital’s Old City earlier this month, a new campaign calling for the construction of the Third Temple atop the holy site has made its way to the sides of 200 Egged buses in the city, which now sport posters featuring a picture of a rebuilt temple on the Mount, and nothing else.
The posters, which contain the phrase, “May the Bais Hamikdosh [holy temple] be rebuilt speedily and within our days,” were sponsored by the Our Land of Israel group, which is led by Rabbi Shalom Dov Volpo and activist Baruch Marzel, leave out the site’s current structures – namely the the Aksa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock.
The campaign’s organizers chose to plaster the posters on buses whose routes take them through predominately Arab neighborhoods of east Jerusalem.
With regards to the campaign, Volpo said Israel is waiting breathlessly for the coming of the messiah and the rebuilding of the temple.
“The Arabs and President Obama know that the Temple will be built on the Temple Mount,” he said. “Instead of the temporary buildings that are there today.”
Speaking to The Jerusalem Post on Sunday, Marzel said it was no mistake that the Islamic shrines were left out of the picture...

Both the Bible and history reveal Jerusalem's holiest site is the TEMPLE Mount, not the mosque hill. It's past time the Jews and Israelis prove they're serious about their claims to a united Jerusalem forever and remove the foreign objects that presently pollute and occupy the Temple Mount and build the Third Temple.
The Temple Mount is meant to host the "House of Prayer for All Peoples" who seek to worship the God of Jacob.
Let the Zionists reclaim Judaism's holiest site and stake their claim to Jerusalem by removing the Arab threat and restore the Temple Mount as the Temple Mount.
Will the pope act like Belshazzar or Cyrus?
Will Rome learn from history and receive instruction from the Bible or harden their hearts and be destroyed like pharaoh and Babylon?
A House of Prayer For All Peoples?
Jewish guards prevent Christians and Jews from exercising their religious right to pray on the Temple Mount? That's right! Only Muslims have unlimited access to Judaism's most holy site. Only the Koran is permitted within. The Tanach (Jewish Scripture, known to much of the world as the "Old Testament") and Christian Scriptures (the New Testament) are forbidden. Yet Israel claims to respect the religious rights of all people.
Major Upheaval in Israel?
Will an EARTHQUAKE shake Israel to its foundations and rock the world? Would the destruction of the Western/Wailing Wall and the demolition of the "Dome of the Rock" and Al-Aksa mosques—by an ACT OF GOD—serve further notice that it's time to build the Temple?
Third Temple Coming Soon to Jerusalem!
"And let them make me a Sanctuary that I may dwell among them" (Ex. 25:8). This holy command in the Scriptures seems clear enough, so what's the problem? Why has Israel tolerated Jerusalem’s "abomination of desolation" — a Temple Mount without a Temple? Why haven't the religious leaders encouraged the people to do what they can in fulfilling this mitzva?
The Temple of God in Holy Jerusalem
Paul, speaking of the imminent Third Temple, the holy TEMPLE OF GOD (the Temple of God - not just of the Jews or any other conspiracy theory that contradicts Scripture), that Europe's wannabe divine emperor will pollute, coveting it since Satan knows (even if some religious folks don't) it is the TEMPLE OF GOD...
Jews Must Demand Rights to Temple Mount
During a 1995 Root and Branch lecture in Jerusalem, Professor Nahum Rakover, author and then Deputy Attorney General of Israel, publicly agreed with me that it isn't illegal for Christians or Jews to pray upon the Temple Mount, even though it is forcibly prevented by the police.
The Issue of the Temple Mount
The common knowledge of our time is that the vast majority of Rabbis of this generation have prohibited the Jewish people from entering the Temple Mount (Har HaBayit), the holiest site in Judaism. The Temple Mount is the site of where the Beit HaMikdash (the Jewish Temple) once stood and the place where the Moslems have erected one mosque, the al-Aqsa and a site of pilgrimage, the Dome of the Rock.
Restore Israeli Sovereignty Over Temple Mount
The Wakf, the militant Muslim authority that oversees Jerusalem's Temple Mount, Judaism's holiest site and Islam's alleged third holiest site (following Mecca and Medina) continue to show blatant disregard for Jewish, Christian and biblical history and non-Muslim sensitivities.
Where's the Temple On the Temple Mount?
Something's missing. Rome is synonymous with the Vatican, Mecca with the Kaaba, and Jerusalem's known for its Western Wall. But why should we stand before the wall, letting it obstruct our vision, when we could be praying in a Temple? Why should Jews continue to bow before an illegitimate Gentile decree that tells them where to pray? (Isaiah 10:1).
The Vatican Must Return the Temple Treasures
The Jews have prayed for 2,000 years to again see the Temple upon the Temple Mount. It's past time for prayers alone: ACTION is necessary to put faith into practice!
G-d Doesn't Listen to Jewish Prayers at the Western Wall
Gershon Salomon warned Israel and its leadership that as long as the shameful situation on the Temple Mount continues, and as long as they do not obey the call of G-d, peace will not come to the land. The enemies of Israel will continue to desire her land and will pressure those in power to divide it. Obedience to the call of G-d will bring peace, all of Israel's enemies will be removed and no one will wish to divide or desire the land.
Why Edward Abington, Jr. Must Be Investigated!
"The American Diplomat in Arafat's Corner," published in The Jerusalem Report, came as no surprise to me. It was referring to Edward Abington, Jr., the United States' former consul general in Jerusalem who is now "guiding the Palestinians through the labyrinths of Washington. And his firm is being paid $2.25 million for his expertise."
Israel's Unjust Deportation of David Ben-Ariel
As a Christian-American member of the Temple Mount Faithful Movement, I had been privileged to participate in their legal demonstrations during my 10-month stay in Jerusalem awaiting dual citizenship. Israeli television often showed me with my Jewish friends carrying Israeli flags throughout the Old City.
Blow Up the Mosques or An Expired Visa?
Once again, an attempt to spread DISinformation about my unjust deportation from Israel, only provides me with another opportunity to clearly state my case and continue to highlight the plight of the Temple Mount suffering under a Nazi-Muslim occupation...
From Toledo to Jerusalem
You could say I have a God-given love for the Jews and the nation of Israel (Isaiah 62:6-7). That sacred bond has been strengthened over the years by the fact that I've been blessed to have lived all over Israel, getting to know its land and people quite well.
Dangerous Ideas?
During my brief appearance before Israel's High Court, the prosecution charged that I hold "dangerous ideas." I suppose the short-sighted prosecution would ban the Bible if he could since it contains the "dangerous ideas" that millions believe in! What are those "dangerous ideas?"
American Detained in Jerusalem's Russian Compound
Nobody arrested me. I was detained when I faithfully reported to the police office at 9 a.m. Monday morning, January 9, 1996 (day before my birthday) the day after The Jerusalem Post published on their front page an article shedding light on what they were doing in the dark: "GSS Seeks to Deport American Citizen for Plot to Blow Up Al Aksa Mosque."
God commands Israel to build Temple!

Women in Green Blessings for a Happy Pessach
Dear Friends,
As we prepare for Pessach, the People of Israel put to rest Eliraz Peretz and Ilan Saviatovsky, HY"D, two soldiers who fell in battle with Arab terrorists. As the mother of Eliraz, who 12 years ago lost another son in battle, said: "My son didn't go in order to die, but he went so that the people of Israel could live in their land. Our sons died so that we could live here and walk here proudly."
The battle for the freedom of the Jewish People, as a people in their Biblical homeland, started when Israel left Egypt, from slavery to freedom, and continues until today.
Tomorrow, Monday night, millions of Jews worldwide will certainly upset people like president Obama and other anti-Israeli leaders, when we will declare, loud and clear, at the end of the seder, what Jews have been saying for thousands of years:
"NEXT YEAR IN REBUILT JERUSALEM!"
Let it be clear to all: when we say "Jerusalem", we mean not only united, undivided Jerusalem, east and west, but we also mean all of Judea and Samaria. Jerusalem is the heart. A heart cannot beat without the main arteries providing the heart all it needs. These arteries are Judea and Samaria, Israel's G-d given Biblical Heartland.
Women in Green want to wish all friends of Israel, in Israel and abroad, a happy Pessach. May we all merit to live and expand in rebuilt Jerusalem and Erets Israel and witness the Geula shleima.
We must add that the holiday can only be complete when our brother Jonathan Pollard and the soldiers missing in action will return home from their captivity. At the seder table we will put a chair for Jonathan and pledge to continue to demand his immediate release.
The People of Israel are blessed with the most beautiful land in the world. Especially at this time of the year, with the blossoming of the flowers and the trees, one of the ways to claim the land is with our feet, by walking and hiking everywhere, and especially in Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria, making a clear statement: The land of Israel belongs to the People of Israel for eternity.
Chag Kasher veSameah, a happy and kosher Pessach to all,
With love for Israel,
Nadia Matar and Yehudit Katsover

GODDESS EASTER PIMPED BY CHRISTIANS?
Does your Church honor the goddess Easter?
"Why do you perpetuate pagan fertility symbols of rabbits and eggs and don't have anything for Passover? No little lambs, nothing. John the Baptist called Jesus the 'Lamb of God' - not the Easter bunny!" - so I wrote a popular family restaurant about their country store (see The Big Lie of Easter). I could have just as easily written another popular down on the farm restaurant questioning why they're disrespectfully offering Easter ham when the Bible strongly expresses its distaste for such an abomination that Jesus and the apostles never ate and the Scriptures forbid (see Is All Animal Flesh Good Food?).
If you walk into any store or restaurant at this time of year, you quickly see how the pagan Easter rabbit has supplanted the Passover lamb. A myth has replaced the truth! It's totally absurd and illogical as both the Bible and history condemn Easter as a spring goddess and yet these professing Christian churches aren't ashamed to blazon the name of the GODDESS EASTER on their church billboards! Would they also advertise Venus or Ishtar? Are they all asleep in the pews? Don't their ministers have a clue? God says the names of these pagan gods and goddesses will be history and yet they're kept alive by apostate Christian ministers! "For I will take from her mouth the names of the Baals [false gods], And they shall be remembered by their name no more" (Hosea 2:17). Who are they serving? Certainly not our Great Creator God, the God of the Bible, the God of Jacob.
How can any professing Christian not take offense at this baptized paganism, these whitewashed heathen customs that mislead the masses? Shame on those (especially the worthless ministers) who continue to let folks get carried away with idolatrous traditions rather than set them free with the plain truth!
"How can you say, ‘I am not polluted, I have not gone after the Baals'?" (Jeremiah 2:23). You advertise the GODDESS EASTER with your Easter Egg Hunt, your Easter Egg Roll, your Easter ham, your Easter Sunday. Others pimp Easter and her fertility symbols of rabbits and eggs with Easter Egg trees and Easter decorations. We're a nation of spiritual drunks and whores in denial, whoring around with pagan gods and goddesses, going through the mindless motions of pagan traditions and flirting with heathen customs and we see nothing wrong with it since we're deaf, dumb and blind (Isaiah 42:19).
Such Easter "offerings" based upon colorful fables certainly aren't acceptable or cute to God ( 2 Timothy 4:3-5). “Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No! They were not at all ashamed nor did they know how to blush. Therefore they shall fall among those who fall [the slain] at the time I punish them..." (Jeremiah 6:15). Traditional Christianity, like an adulterous woman, "…eats and wipes her mouth, and says, ‘I have done no wickedness..
Sin that's been dressed up, camouflaged, made to appear harmless, is still sin in God's eyes and He hates the mass religious deception that has been going on for too long and will hold the nation accountable for living a lie and promoting whitewashed paganism. The rotten ministers who have failed to stand in the gap, to expose such error and call upon the people to turn from such vain traditions, are especially guilty (Ezekiel 22:30-31).
Hosea 4:6
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest [minister] for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God [that you may keep your own traditions], I also will forget your children.
It's past time we remember our Hebrew roots and biblical responsibilities and return to the Faith once delivered - the Faith that focuses on the Lamb of God and keeps Passover - and stop mixing pagan error with biblical truth (spiritual adultery). We must serve the God of Israel wholeheartedly as Elijah encouraged (when he mocked Baal and Easter) or go into national captivity like Israel did who failed to take God's Word seriously! What will it be: return to the Faith once delivered or return to slavery?

Making Haste
"And this is how you shall eat it: your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste, it is a Passover offering to HaShem." (Exodus 12:11)
Nisan 11, 5770/March 26, 2010
"Haste makes waste." That's what they tell us. And we tend to accept this as axiomatic. But is it necessarily true? Torah tells us otherwise. Torah tells us that haste is an essential ingredient of the redemptive process. Our forefathers seized the opportunity which G-d created for them and left Egypt in great haste. This need for haste was eternalized by the Torah commandment for all generations for each family of Israel to prepare a lamb for a korban Pesach - Passover offering - make a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, slaughter the lamb within the Holy Temple courtyard, roast the lamb in Jerusalem, and eat the lamb in its entirety before midnight. This process of haste could, in many cases, extend over two weeks time, beginning with the pilgrimage preparations, and concluding, in an ever greater sense of haste, with the eating of the lamb. Since the destruction of the Holy Temple, from which point in time the korban Pesach has not been offered, this sense of urgency has been embodied by the intense Passover preparations made in each individual home, often exhausting, often conducted right to the last minute, and concluding with the Passover Seder, again, which must be concluded by midnight.
Why did G-d insist that the children of Israel eat the Passover offering in haste? After all, G-d planned and carried out every detail of the exodus from Egypt, beginning with His first call to Moshe, continuing throughout the ten plagues, and concluding with the korban Pesach and the midnight escape. Nothing was left to chance. Why the last-minute rush?

Praise for Cracking the Qur'an Code
“Cracking the Qur'an Code makes an important contribution in man's quest for peace, for Israel in particular and the world at large. This book brings to the fore the real meaning of the qur'anic references to Jews and Israel, through their correct interpretations by the most knowledgeable qur’anic commentators and translators. It sees misinterpretation of the Qur’an as the real basis for Muslim antagonism towards Jews and Israel. This book is dedicated to two angels of peace, two brothers, in spiritual heritage as well as in their mission of peace. One brother is descended from Isaac, Dr. Asher Eder. The other brother is descended from Ishmael, Sheikh Abdul Hadi Palazzi”.

“Cracking the Qur'an Code is a stimulating reminder that all of us, Arabs and Jews, are of the same descent and stem from the same tree. We must all work hard to overcome selfish contemporary political interests and focus on reconciliation. Abraham, Ishmael, and Isaac are certainly sad when they see from heaven how their grandsons and granddaughters are fighting and killing each other. I believe that when both Arabs and Jews reflect on our historical roots, we will reconsider our current political differences and conclude that peace is possible among brothers and sisters”.

“Jewish Tradition tells us to judge ourselves and others by our actions, not words. In 2003, I tried to tell the world about the Islamist (Wahhabi) arrest and torture of my brother, Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury of Bangladesh. Few listened. Fewer acted. Dr. Asher Eder and Sheikh Abdul Hadi Palazzi joined our effort immediately - adding their voices, taking action, and continuously from then through the present encouraging us in our efforts. Their good work and their relationship parallels that of myself and Shoaib. Dr. Eder the Jew and Sheikh Palazzi the Muslim, Richard Benkin the Jew and Salah Choudhury the Muslim, show that Jews and Muslims can work together for justice. We need only remain faithful, pierce the veil of false political correctness, and honor the moral and ethical principles that Judaism and Islam share”.

“I always believed that Jews are our cousins and that we both are the descendants of Prophet Abraham (Peace be upon him). Now, this book, Cracking the Qur’an Code, based on the teachings of Sheikh Palazzi and Dr. Eder, endorses my beliefs with documentary facts. Let this book be a guide to everyone who wants peace. Cracking the Qur’an Code is such a book, which aspires to restore Islamic-Jewish relations. Let this book play an important role in letting people stand against jihad, the murder of innocent people and Holocaust denial”.

“Every once in a while, a seminal text appears in Islamic-Judeo relations. Cracking the Qur’an Code is such a book. Based on the teachings of the prominent Sufi cleric, Sheikh Abdul Hadi Palazzi, perhaps the leading Sunni Muslim cleric in Italy, if not all Europe; and an Israeli educator, Dr. Asher Eder, it breaks new ground. More accurately, it reminds us all that we once stood upon the old common ground, where Christians, Jews and Muslims respected each other as Peoples of the Book. This is a book worth

“Jerusalem, given by God to King David as Israel's capital, is revered until today by Jews, Christians and Muslims and many others. A Source whom I know learned from firsthand experience that the airport mosque of Jeddah in Saudi Arabia faces Jerusalem. At the Jeddah airport mosque Muslims knowingly pray facing the ruins of the Temple of Solomon on Mount Zion, may it be rebuilt speedily and in our days. So do my brothers in our Pathan tribal homeland on the border of Afghanistan and Pakistan. They pray towards the Temple Mount (bayt al-maqdis) in Jerusalem!
I speak not only as a Muslim from Pakistan, but as a Son of Israel, from the Pathan tribe of Yousufzai (Pashto for “Sons of Yosef”). I represent a migrating family of Pathans who have traveled through many eras and countries. We were always neighbors with practicing Jews who treated us as one of them, and we treated them as one of us. We continue to pray towards our capital city (Jerusalem), as do millions of Pathans in Asia and across the world, knowingly or unknowingly. Muslims worldwide pray towards the Ka’ba of Mecca.
Jerusalem has been a center of almost continuous Israelite settlement for almost three thousand years. A multi-cultural city, it is the heart and soul of all the Children of Israel. Those who attempt to prevent the Jewish People today from exercising sovereignty over Jerusalem dishonor the memory of Abraham, forefather of the Jewish, Christian and Muslim faiths.
I oppose wicked plans to divide Jerusalem, the world’s holiest city. I believe that a united Jerusalem will one day not only be the capital of the State of Israel, Jewish People worldwide, and the soon-to-be reunited Twelve Tribes of Israel. Jerusalem will be the capital of the entire world”.

Dedication to Cracking the Qur'an Code
Cracking the Qur'an Code is dedicated to the memory of Abdurrahman ad-Dakhil Wahid, a great friend of Jews and Israel, who died on Thursday, December 30, 2009.
Abdurrahman Wahid (September 7, 1940 - December 30, 2009) was president of Nahdlatul Ulama, the largest Muslim organization in Indonesia, which is the world's most populous Muslim nation. Nahdlatul Ulama was founded by Wahid's paternal grandfather, Hasyim Asy'ari, a respected ulema (Muslim legal scholar) from East Java, on January 31, 1926.
Wahid served as president of Indonesia from 1999 to 2001. Beloved as a person and respected as an Islamic scholar, he was affectionately known to Indonesians as "Gus Dur".
In an interview with Jennifer Byrne of ABC News on April 17, 2002, Wahid expressed his support for international Muslim recognition of the State of Israel.
The following is an excerpt from that interview:
Byrne: "And as someone who has been... during your time as president you have tried to forge links with Israel, and taken some political pain for that what do you think will be the outcome?"
Wahid: "Israel believes in God. While we have a diplomatic relationship and recognising diplomatically China and Russia, which are atheist states, then it's strange that we don't acknowledge Israel. This is the thing that we have to correct within Islam".
Byrne: "What... you believe that the Islamic world as a whole should start recognising and acknowledging Israel’s right to exist and prosper?"
Wahid: "Oh yes... yes".
Byrne: "But will it happen, sir... will it happen?"
Wahid: (laughs) "I don't know.... anyway... because you know, however slow, I think Muslims are rational and rationality dictates that we recognise Israel diplomatically".

May the memory of Abdurrahman Wahid forever be for a blessing.

Excerpt from Sheikh Palazzi Address to the International Conference on Countering Suicide Terrorism
Herzliya, Israel – February, 2000
www.amislam.com/bush.htm
"the powerful structure of the Wahhabi Muslim Brotherhood is mainly supported by those countries which are regarded as 'moderate' or 'friends of the West': Wahhabi Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the Arab Emirates".
The main instrument for the "Wahhabisation" [1] of Arab society was an organization called Ikhwan al Muslimun (Wahhabi “Muslim Brotherhood”). The Brotherhood’s founder was Hasan al-Bannah, an elementary school teacher from Ismailiyyah who became one of the leaders of pro-British Masonry (United Lodge of England, ‘Mother of the World’) in Egypt.
The Palestinian Hamas is one of the most important Ikhwan (Wahhabi Muslim Brotherhood) controlled organizations in the Middle East. Hamas leaders are not among the original families of founders. On a worldwide level the Ikhwan (Wahhabi Muslim Brotherhood) leadership is, as before, in the hands of Syrian and Egyptian elements.
Countries such as Sudan, Iran and Afghanistan are easily identified as radical, totalitarian and enemies of the Western world, but their contribution to the international network of pseudo-Islamic "fundamentalism" (Wahhabism) is insignificant. On the contrary, the powerful structure of the Wahhabi Muslim Brotherhood is mainly supported by those countries which are regarded as "moderate" or "friends of the West": Wahhabi Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the Arab Emirates.

"To really win the 'War on Terror'...it is necessary to replace the Wahhabi Saudi terror-funding regime with a moderate, non-Wahhabi and pro-Western regime, such as a Hashemite Sunni Muslim constitutional monarchy....The Wahhabi Saudi regime can only survive by increasing its support for terror".
To really win the "War on Terror" it is necessary for the U.S. to invade Saudi Arabia, capture King Abdullah and the other 1,500 princes who constitute the "House of Sa’ud", to freeze their assets, to remove them from power, and to send them to Guantanamo for life imprisonment. Then it is necessary to replace the Wahhabi Saudi terror-funding regime with a moderate, non-Wahhabi and pro-Western regime, such as a Hashemite Sunni Muslim constitutional monarchy. Unless all this is done, the "War on Terror" will never be won. It is possible to destroy Wahhabi al-Qa’ida, to capture or execute Bin Laden, al-Zarqawi, al-Zawahiri, etc., but this will not end the "War". After some years, Saudi princes will again start funding many similar Wahhabi terror organizations. The Wahhabi Saudi regime can only survive by increasing its support for terror.

Praise for Cracking the Qur'an Code
“Cracking the Qur'an Code makes an important contribution in man's quest for peace, for Israel in particular and the world at large. This book brings to the fore the real meaning of the qur'anic references to Jews and Israel, through their correct interpretations by the most knowledgeable qur’anic commentators and translators. It sees misinterpretation of the Qur’an as the real basis for Muslim antagonism towards Jews and Israel. This book is dedicated to two angels of peace, two brothers, in spiritual heritage as well as in their mission of peace. One brother is descended from Isaac, Dr. Asher Eder. The other brother is descended from Ishmael, Sheikh Abdul Hadi Palazzi”.

“Cracking the Qur'an Code is a stimulating reminder that all of us, Arabs and Jews, are of the same descent and stem from the same tree. We must all work hard to overcome selfish contemporary political interests and focus on reconciliation. Abraham, Ishmael, and Isaac are certainly sad when they see from heaven how their grandsons and granddaughters are fighting and killing each other. I believe that when both Arabs and Jews reflect on our historical roots, we will reconsider our current political differences and conclude that peace is possible among brothers and sisters”.

“Jewish Tradition tells us to judge ourselves and others by our actions, not words. In 2003, I tried to tell the world about the Islamist (Wahhabi) arrest and torture of my brother, Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury of Bangladesh. Few listened. Fewer acted. Dr. Asher Eder and Sheikh Abdul Hadi Palazzi joined our effort immediately - adding their voices, taking action, and continuously from then through the present encouraging us in our efforts. Their good work and their relationship parallels that of myself and Shoaib. Dr. Eder the Jew and Sheikh Palazzi the Muslim, Richard Benkin the Jew and Salah Choudhury the Muslim, show that Jews and Muslims can work together for justice. We need only remain faithful, pierce the veil of false political correctness, and honor the moral and ethical principles that Judaism and Islam share”.

Now, this book, Cracking the Qur’an Code, based on the teachings of Sheikh Palazzi and Dr. Eder, endorses my beliefs with documentary facts. Let this book be a guide to everyone who wants peace. Cracking the Qur’an Code is such a book, which aspires to restore Islamic-Jewish relations. Let this book play an important role in letting people stand against jihad, the murder of innocent people and Holocaust denial”.

Pagan fertility symbols of rabbits and eggs...
The Big Lie of Easter
by David Ben-Ariel
"Why do you perpetuate pagan fertility symbols of rabbits and eggs and don't have anything for Passover? No little lambs, nothing. John the Baptist called Jesus the 'Lamb of God' - not the Easter bunny!" - so I wrote a popular family restaurant about their country store and was informed they received my email and would respond.
How many folks actually stop and THINK? How many question why the focus is on an Easter bunny and not on the Passover Lamb? Why have professing Christians enabled this deliberate diversion and deception? Where has the outrage been among those who profess to love the Lord when they see society swept away with hare-brained traditions? Why the tacit approval by deathly silence and default?
Those who dishonestly continue to partake of Easter's modified pagan practices, its whitewashed heathen customs, are guilty of spiritual adultery! Such perverse Christians are whoring around with foreign gods and goddesses and undoubtedly will incur the wrath of God upon our nation of drunks and whores and illegitimate children (who have been sacrificed to demons rather than consecrated to God).
“Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No! They were not at all ashamed nor did they know how to blush. Therefore they shall fall among those who fall [the slain] at the time I punish them, they shall be cast down, says the LORD” (Jeremiah 6:15).
Traditional Christianity, like an adulterous woman, "…eats and wipes her mouth, and says, ‘I have done no wickedness...'" (Prov. 30:20).
God let ancient Israel and Judah suffer NATIONAL DEFEAT, DESTRUCTION AND DEPORTATION due to their "harmless" religious celebrations! Has God changed His mind? Isn't Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever?
God condemns our countries for IDOLATRY — not just for immorality! Easter is both immoral and idolatrous, as are those worthless ministers who have let Easter take root and defile our land with its pagan pollutions. It is idolatry when religious folks continue to put pagan Easter above Passover (that the early Church of God faithfully observed), when they continue to pimp traditional religious lies of a "Sunday resurrection" - even though the plain truth of the Bible teaches: "After the women rested on the regular weekly Sabbath, they went to Jesus' tomb early on the first day of the week (Sunday), "while it was still dark" (John 20:1), and found that He had already been resurrected (Matthew 28:1-6; Mark 16:2-6; Luke 24:1-3)"- Easter: Masking a Biblical Truth .
Easter's not harmless; engaging in pagan practices like dying eggs and mindlessly decorating trees with eggs and eating Easter ham (an abomination!) is showing extreme disrespect to our Great Creator God, the God of the Bible, the God of Israel who thunders:
Jeremiah 10
2 Do not learn the way of the Gentiles...
Why not keep it simple and love and obey God and do as He says rather than blind tradition dictates? If not, stop calling yourself a Christian nation and be honest enough to admit you're a pagan nation and prepare to suffer the consequences!

You will find people celebrating Passover throughout the Bible, including Jesus. But you won't find people celebrating Easter. The word Easter comes from an ancient fertility goddess. It's spelled in different ways but usually pronounced "Easter" or something like it. For instance, the Babylonians called her Ishtar. The Phoenicians worshipped their goddess Astarte. The Germans had Ostara. The Hebrews called her Ashtoreth. This is all the same goddess, and God condemned the Israelites for having anything to do with this pagan goddess of fertility and the dawn. - Shocked by the BibleHow can a Christian nation have anything to do with a pagan goddess? With the fertility symbols of rabbits and eggs long associated with Easter and exposed by history and condemned by the Bible? Any observance of Easter is as impudent as a whore who feels no shame for her sins.
Those who dishonestly continue to partake of Easter's modified pagan practices, its whitewashed heathen customs, are guilty of spiritual adultery!

During the crisis between Israel and the U.S. administration last week, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu managed to anger German Chancellor Angela Merkel, too, after his office gave the media details of a phone conversation between the two leaders on construction in East Jerusalem. Merkel said that Netanyahu had "used" her and undermined her trust in him.
Merkel and Netanyahu spoke last Saturday, several hours after the phone call in which U.S. Secretary State Hillary Clinton reprimanded the prime minister. A senior German source who requested anonymity said Merkel had called Netanyahu after a request from the White House. The Americans requested her involvement to stress that it was not only the United States that disagreed with the construction in East Jerusalem's Ramat Shlomo neighborhood.
************
Anybody who thinks Merkel or Germany are truly friends or allies of Israel is woefully ignorant of the Bible and history. The final revival of the unholy Roman Empire is being forged in Europe today and it will wage a New Crusade under the guise of peace and brutally betray both Arabs and Jews.

Summary of "Crush the Obama intifada" vigil
Summary of Gush Etzion "Crush the Obama intifada rally" last night, Saturday evening
Close to 200 people came to the Gush Etzion intersection and thus answered the call by the action committees to come and protest the latest wave of Arab violence. "Crush the Obama intifada! Enough stone
throwing! Stop the building freeze against the Jews" were some of the slogans
Among the public figures who arrived and spoke were: Rabbi Dov Lior, Rabbi Gideon Perl, Rabbi Zvi Rimon, Rabbi Yaron Durani, Rabbi Avi Weiss from the USA , Dr Amiel Ungar, Attn Elyakim Haetzni, Oded Revivi, mayor of Efrat, Malachi Levinger, mayor of Kiryat Arba.
In addition, the female resident of Tekoa who had been wounded by Arab stone throwing a few days ago, also was present among the demonstrators. She had just left the hospital the day before after being operated on her arm.
The messages of all speakers were crystal clear:
We will not stay quiet when stones are being hurled at Jews. Arabs who throw rocks at Jews intend to kill Jews and should be dealt with accordingly.
To the Prime Minister of Israel the message was: Stand firm! Don't capitulate or cave in to Barack Hussein Obama! The people of Israel are strong and will stay strong even in case of US sanctions against Israel.
A person who showed immense courage was a resident of Neve Daniel who told the crowd about her experience a few days ago when she was stoned by Arabs on her way from Tekoa to Neve Daniel. After the stoning, with her front windshield smashed, she decided not to flee but rather stopped her car in the middle of the road thereby blocking the road till the army arrived. She turned to the Prime Minister and demanded he provide her and all other residents with security, to enable her to go to work.
At the end of the speeches the crowd went down to the street and started to march towards El-Arub to prove our independence and our determination to continue walking freely everywhere. The police were surprised by this, but could not stop us, for we were many people. After marching some 500 meters towards Hebron we turned back. We had made our statement.
The organizers of the vigil announced that this is just the opening event. It is clear that in case of further stone-throwing, we will not stop at quiet demonstrations.

Jews to offer biblical Passover sacrifice
Temple Institute wants to Offer Biblical Passover Sacrifice
by Maayana Miskin
(IsraelNN.com) The Temple Mount Institute has filed suit in its fight for the right to sacrifice a sheep on the Temple Mount prior to Passover, as commanded in the Torah.
"The command to perform a Paschal [Passover] sacrifice is a positive commandment; the punishment for failing to perform it is 'karet' [lit. -- 'cut off', meaning that a person is cut off from the Nation of Israel], and it can be performed only on the day before Passover and only on the Temple Mount,” the organization explained in a petition to the Supreme Court. Fighting the group's request are the Israel Police, who argue that the sacrifice would lead to Muslim riots and thus threaten public safety.
Jews have the right to offer animal sacrifices on the Temple Mount under Israeli law, the organization claimed. Israelis are guaranteed the right to freedom of worship, and Israel prides itself in allowing members of all faiths to access their holy sites...
Click here to continue
************
If Israel were run by self-respecting Jews, they would immediately instruct their military and police officials to remove the threat the Nazi Muslims clearly present to Jews and Christians. The hateful Arabs discriminate against all non-Muslims daily upon the TEMPLE Mount, contrary to Israel's much vaunted claims of "freedom of access" for all to religious sites.
It's past time the Passover sacrifice is performed. We know the foreign objects are destined to be history and the Temple Mount restored as the Temple Mount, a House of Prayer for All Peoples who seek to worship the God of Jacob and bring sacrifice. So be it. Let it begin!
Jews Must Demand Rights to Temple Mount
During a 1995 Root and Branch lecture in Jerusalem, Professor Nahum Rakover, author and then Deputy Attorney General of Israel, publicly agreed with me that it isn't illegal for Christians or Jews to pray upon the Temple Mount, even though it is forcibly prevented by the police.
Restore Israeli Sovereignty Over Temple Mount
The Wakf, the militant Muslim authority that oversees Jerusalem's Temple Mount, Judaism's holiest site and Islam's alleged third holiest site (following Mecca and Medina) continue to show blatant disregard for Jewish, Christian and biblical history and non-Muslim sensitivities.

The Jerusalem Crisis
A look at some of the key context and realities behind a US-Israeli dispute over Jerusalem.
See HonestReporting's Special Report: Making Sense of the Jerusalem Crisis
************
This "crisis" is due to Israel's miserable failure to properly take a stand for Jerusalem over the years, creating a vacuum and question mark. It's past time Israel annex the liberated biblical territories, especially the TEMPLE Mount, and reclaim all of Jerusalem as the eternal capital of Israel without hesitation or prepare to lose it to European "peacekeepers."
Paint Israel Black: Jews to Lose Jerusalem!
Israel's rejection of their 1967 miracle will result in their loss of Jerusalem. Let Israel lower its flag and mourn and paint the country BLACK since Orange was crushed under "just following orders" soldiers doing their sworn enemies' dirty work....
Woe to Ariel! (Jerusalem to Suffer EU Occupation)
Isaiah 29:1
Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt!
Carl Sandburg, an American writer warned: "If America forgets where she came from...if she listens to the deniers and mockers, then will begin the rot and dissolution." The same principle applies to our Jewish brethren in Israel.
Europe to Take Out Iran For Jerusalem
As the United States called upon Israel to become their virtual protectorate during Operation Desert Storm, the European Union will offer Israel guarantees of peace and security. Europe, not the overextended and highly inflated United States, will take out Iran.

The Obama intifada?
by MELANIE PHILLIPS
http://www.spectator.co.uk/melaniephillips/5845637/the-obama-intifada.thtml
Are we seeing the beginning (heaven forbid) of the Obama intifada?
The escalating Arab rioting today in Jerusalem and the West Bank is undoubtedly being stoked up by the fact that the Obama administration has turned so viciously against Israel. Doubtless as a result the Arabs now smell victory within their grasp and may now unleash another wave of violence against Israelis.
Every single one of their recent ‘grievances’ is not just fabricated but stands history and justice on their heads. The ostensible cause of today's rioting, the re-opening yesterday of the ancient Hurva synagogue in the heart of the Jewish quarter of Jerusalem's Old City, is a typical example of this fanatical moral and historical inversion. The Hurva has been under reconstruction for years. The Palestinian campaign of incitement over it carries the message that Jews cannot build places of worship in their own city. And before anyone says any of Jerusalem is ‘occupied Palestinian territory’, it is not and never was 'Palestinian'. In every single attempt to resolve the Middle East impasse, Jerusalem was always regarded as a special case on its own; and from the mid 19th century onwards it has had uninterruptedly a Jewish majority.
The Hurva synagogue has been rebuilt, moreover, because it was twice destroyed by Muslims. Its history, as recounted by Leo Rennert, is testimony both to the uninterrupted presence of Jews in Jerusalem and to the uninterrupted attempts by Muslims to remove that presence:
The Hurva was the the Jewish landmark in Jerusalem in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It was a magnet for early Zionists, religious and non-religious. Theodore Herzl was a visitor, and so were many other Jewish notables from far and wide. The first synagogue on the site was built in 1701. Jews had obtained a loan for its construction from Muslims. But Jerusalem's Jewish community, mired in poverty, couldn't repay the debt, so Muslim creditors destroyed the synagogue.
But Jewish residents, with some outside help, rebuilt the Hurva and turned it into a magnificent landmark...that is, until 1948, when less than two weeks after Israel declared independence, Jordanian forces moved into the Old City and destroyed the Hurva -- with only the great arch left as a reminder of its former glory. And so it remained for six decades. From 1948 until 1967, Jews were barred by Jordan from even approaching the Hurva ruins, just as they were barred from praying at the Western Wall. After Israel captured the Old City in 1967, the Hurva Arch stood for many years as a stark reminder of a sad chapter in Jewish history.
Then a meticulous rebuilding and renovation effort was begun several years ago. It culminated on March 15, 2010 in the official reopening of the Hurva as an exact replica of the 19th-century synagogue, including the surviving Arch, which is now a permanent part of the new Hurva. Henceforth, it won't just be a dramatic reminder of the past; it will resume its age-old function as a place of worship.
And once again it is the target of Muslim attempts to exterminate the Jewish presence in Jerusalem. Yet Obama, who accuses Israel of frustrating the ‘peace process’ by building in east Jerusalem by agreement with his own administration, is silent over this inflammatory and disgusting Palestinian attack on a Jewish place of worship. It would seem that for Obama ‘peace’ means the surrender of Israel to Arab violence.
As former New York mayor Ed Koch has said, the pressure the US is now bringing to bear upon Israel is unforgiveable. It is an astonishing demonstration of cynicism and malicious intent. Noah Pollak says that Obama is trying to get rid of Netanyahu by pushing him into a corner. But much worse still, Obama’s deliberate decision to escalate what was at most a tactless but minor diplomatic blunder by Israel makes America an accessory to the violence that is now taking place and may get worse. Even this Ha’aretz writer thinks so:
But perhaps what is most important is this: Palestinians see the Obama administration’s decision to attack Israel as an invitation to adopt a more confrontational line. A previous settlement slowdown led Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to exploit the opportunity and make any new negotiations conditional on a total freeze in construction, including in east Jerusalem.
Now signals from Washington have led his political faction, Fatah, to start picking its own fight. A few days ago Prime Minister Salam Fayad called on Palestinians to rally to the Temple Mount to ‘defend Al-Aqsa’ after Israel announced the dedication of a synagogue ‘next door to the Al-Aqsa mosque’. Even the most secular of Palestinian politicians, PLO executive committee chairman Yasser Abed Rabo, joined in the condemnations and warned of an escalation.
The need to defend Al-Aqsa is more than a little exaggerated. The synagogue in question is not on the doorstep of the mosque. It is in the Jewish Quarter of the Old City on a site it has occupied for more than 300 years. But the PA has smelled blood. It understands that the international community will not concern itself with secondary details, such as the fact that the synagogue in question has would no doubt remain in Israeli territory under even the most generous future peace agreement. So why not start a riot and blame the Israelis, especially when the U.S. government is doing the same.
Precisely. Middle America, those millions of mainly Christian souls who are Israel’s staunchest supporters in the world, should be made aware of what their President is doing – turning the United States into a betrayer of democracy, human rights and the Jewish people to become no less than an accessory to terror.

Time to Tell America to go to Hell?

The Sunday (07 March 2010) edition of the Hebrew daily, Ma'ariv, carried this headline, Obama's deputy [Vice President Joseph Biden] brings clear message to Israel: 'Don't attack Iran'"
There was a time, some forty years ago, when such messages would have been conveyed behind closed doors. Indeed, in 1967 and 1973 the Americans tried to bully Israel into eschewing preemptive strikes on the Arabs when clear intelligence indicated an intent to attack and destroy Israel. But the bullying was all done behind closed doors. Now the bullying is open and out in the open, and all the excuse making does not hide the fact that Obama and his sycophants are bullying Israel all the time. This is nothing but a falafel republic, on a lower level even than Lebanon.
When Israel ignored and defied the United States in 1967 it won a stunning victory, conquering the Sinai and liberating Gaza, Judea, Samaria, the Heights of Golan, and of course, unifying Jerusalem. When Israel caved in to American pressure in 1973, it fought desperately for its survival, suffering 2,500 casualties and losing diplomatically everywhere. The world is a cruel place and it stomps on losers. But more to the point, we can clearly see that the American government, no matter what face it puts on to the public to deceive it, is against the State of Israel. Its advice is inevitably a disaster for us.

The Israelis don't need wicked Americans to corrupt their leaders - they're already as rotten to the core as can be!
It's past time the American people cut off all foreign welfare - whether to the Israeli oligarchy, Egypt or Haiti - and it's past time the Israelis repent and finally establish a truly Jewish homeland that trusts in God, as Meir Kahane called for by reminding the nation of the Law of Moses.

Israel rewards Arab terrorism again
Temple Mount Closed Due to Arab Riots
(IsraelNN.com) by Hana Levi Julian
Jerusalem District Police have closed the Temple Mount to visitors for the next three days due to fears of rioting by Arab worshipers...
Police Commissioner Dudi Cohen warned Friday that Israel would “not allow disturbances,” but said it was “important to maintain an open channel of communication with all the parties involved in order to preserve the peace and make it possible for everyone to worship as they wish.”
...Yehudah Glick, chairman of the Human Rights for the Temple Mount organization noted that it was “sad that the police punish the victims and reward the violence – once again closing the Temple Mount to Jews on a holy day.”
Glick was referring to the fact that the site will also be closed to Jews on Tuesday, the first day of the Hebrew month of Nissan and considered a holy day. “The police should bring in extra forces to ensure that the Mount remains open for everyone who is able to respect the site, and remove the radical, violent religious elements,” he said.

***********
Police Commissioner Dudi Cohen repeated the BIG LIE about preserving the peace to "make it possible for everyone to worship as they wish.”
I can testify Israel enables Nazi-Muslims to discriminate daily against Jews and Christians upon the Temple Mount. I was detained for simply attempting to read my Bible in peace and pray silently upon the Temple Mount on the Sabbath in 1995 (reported by the Root and Branch Association in "House of Prayer for All Peoples?) and it disgusts me when liars like Shimon Peres, Bibi Netanyahu and others pretend the situation is otherwise and mislead the world.
A House of Prayer For All Peoples?
Jewish guards prevent Christians and Jews from exercising their religious right to pray on the Temple Mount? That's right! Only Muslims have unlimited access to Judaism's most holy site. Only the Koran is permitted within. The Tanach (Jewish Scripture, known to much of the world as the "Old Testament") and Christian Scriptures (the New Testament) are forbidden. Yet Israel claims to respect the religious rights of all people.
Jews Must Demand Rights to Temple Mount
During a 1995 Root and Branch lecture in Jerusalem, Professor Nahum Rakover, author and then Deputy Attorney General of Israel, publicly agreed with me that it isn't illegal for Christians or Jews to pray upon the Temple Mount, even though it is forcibly prevented by the police.
Restore Israeli Sovereignty Over Temple Mount
The Wakf, the militant Muslim authority that oversees Jerusalem's Temple Mount, Judaism's holiest site and Islam's alleged third holiest site (following Mecca and Medina) continue to show blatant disregard for Jewish, Christian and biblical history and non-Muslim sensitivities.

Glick was referring to the fact that the site will also be closed to Jews on Tuesday, the first day of the Hebrew month of Nissan and considered a holy day. “The police should bring in extra forces to ensure that the Mount remains open for everyone who is able to respect the site, and remove the radical, violent religious elements,” he said.

***********
Police Commissioner Dudi Cohen repeated the BIG LIE about preserving the peace to "make it possible for everyone to worship as they wish.”
I can testify Israel enables Nazi-Muslims to discriminate daily against Jews and Christians upon the Temple Mount. I was detained for simply attempting to read my Bible in peace and pray silently upon the Temple Mount on the Sabbath in 1995 (reported by the Root and Branch Association in "House of Prayer for All Peoples?) and it disgusts me when liars like Shimon Peres, Bibi Netanyahu and others pretend the situation is otherwise and mislead the world.
A House of Prayer For All Peoples?
Jewish guards prevent Christians and Jews from exercising their religious right to pray on the Temple Mount? That's right! Only Muslims have unlimited access to Judaism's most holy site. Only the Koran is permitted within. The Tanach (Jewish Scripture, known to much of the world as the "Old Testament") and Christian Scriptures (the New Testament) are forbidden. Yet Israel claims to respect the religious rights of all people.
Jews Must Demand Rights to Temple Mount
During a 1995 Root and Branch lecture in Jerusalem, Professor Nahum Rakover, author and then Deputy Attorney General of Israel, publicly agreed with me that it isn't illegal for Christians or Jews to pray upon the Temple Mount, even though it is forcibly prevented by the police.
Restore Israeli Sovereignty Over Temple Mount
The Wakf, the militant Muslim authority that oversees Jerusalem's Temple Mount, Judaism's holiest site and Islam's alleged third holiest site (following Mecca and Medina) continue to show blatant disregard for Jewish, Christian and biblical history and non-Muslim sensitivities.

Biden is bigoted against Bible-believers
U.S. Jews to Biden: Leave Jerusalem Alone
by Maayana Miskin
(IsraelNN.com) The veteran United States-based Young Israel movement condemned U.S. Vice President Biden on Thursday, telling Biden to leave Jerusalem alone. The American vice president had condemned Israel's decision to allow Jews to build in historic Jerusalem, in an area that has been annexed by Israel but is claimed by the Palestinian Authority.
"We strongly 'condemn' Vice President Biden's statements and respectfully urge him to rescind his incendiary remarks about Jerusalem,” said Young Israel President Shlomo Mostofsky.
"The reality is that there is no such entity as 'East Jerusalem,' there is only Jerusalem, which is the united capital of Israel,” Mostofsky continued. “Only Israel can make determinations regarding Jerusalem's future expansion and development.”

Bible-believers, both Jewish and Christians, have no doubt it's the Promised Land of ISRAEL (not Ishmael or some accursed "Palestine"). What a shame that some are so dense they just don't get it or refuse to be corrected by the facts, keeping their heads buried in the sand.
Christians Reject Palestine for the Promised Land of Israel
Christian Zionist, Jews and Israel
Don't Expel Jews from Gaza
Read and weep for the Israeli Jews of Gush Katif/Gaza, on whose behalf I wrote this article in July 2005 before their illegal expulsion by the bribed Ariel Sharon and criminal company working for foreign interests. Many of them remain homeless, depressed and basically abandoned by their lying government -- their former homes history, stripped bare and destroyed by marauding Arab enemies who are now fighting among themselves, one terrorist group (Hamas) against another terrorist group (Fatah).

Video: First Visit to the Rebuilt Hurva Synagogue
by Yoni Kempinski
(IsraelNN.com) The restoration and construction of the Hurva Synagogue in the Old City of Jerusalem nears completion, with the dedication of the synagogue scheduled for next Monday, March 15. The Company for the Reconstruction and Development of the Jewish Quarter has completed one of the artistic aspects of the project - restoration of the synagogue's wall paintings. Arutz Sheva TV brings you in to the synagogue for a first visit to the restored Hurva.
A significant difficulty in the preservation and internal renewal of the Hurva Synagogue, which had been the center of life in ancient Jerusalem until Arabs destroyed it in 1948, was dealing with the many alterations that took place over the years the synagogue stood. The Holy Ark curtains, wall paintings, lamps, pulpits and other parts of the synagogue had all undergone various changes. leaving the restorers with the need to decide on which period of time the restoration should be based.

Forbidden Fruit
Easter or Passover: Which Is Christian?
#48. To: Chaka (#33)
the idea that an omnipotent deity would create a wonderfully-flavored animal like the Pig and then forbade eating it is heretical and preposterous
Perhaps to those who steal the forbidden fruit of self-righteously determining for themselves what is good and what is evil, rather than submit to the Word of God - divine revelation - that clearly instructs us what our Great Creator God decrees is fit and what is not fit for human consumption. It is heretical and the height of chutzpah to pretend to know more than our Creator! Such covetous cravings and idolatrous thoughts expose an unclean heart and impure mind.
Like the serpent who lied to Eve about the "wonderfully-flavored" fruit, you don't have a leg to stand on.
Isaiah 5:20
20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness;
Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Isaiah 55:7-9
7 Let the wicked forsake his way,
And the unrighteous man his thoughts;
Let him return to the LORD,
And He will have mercy on him;
And to our God,
For He will abundantly pardon.
8 "For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways," says the LORD.
9 "For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.
Is All Animal Flesh Good Food?
Were all animals made clean? What about the unclean animals shown to Peter in a vision? Here is a straightforward Bible answer, giving the New Testament teaching. This subject is important to your health and well-being!
Unclean Christianity vs. Peter's Vision
Unclean traditional Christianity teaches the religious lie that Jesus "did away with" the dietary laws, sinning against both God and man (1 John 2:4; Matt 5:17-20).
Jesus Upheld the Biblical Dietary Laws
Unclean traditional Christianity has misled many with their lack of understanding of the Bible as a whole. They often take Scriptures out of context and totally twist their meanings, like they do when it comes to abusing Matthew 15 and slaughtering it to teach we can now eat anything.

International Temple Mount Awareness Day
The First Annual International Temple Mount Awareness Day: March 16th, Rosh Chodesh Nisan: While the people of Israel and the nations of the world are longing for the rebuilding of the Holy Temple, and awakening to the grave and imminent danger that exists today on the Temple Mount, where non-Moslems are forbidden to pray, where Mosques are being constructed and where destruction of the remnants of the Holy Temple at the hands of the Moslem "custodians" of the Mount, continues apace, the government of Israel has turned a blind and cynical eye to the Temple Mount. It is in our power to change this reality.
Join us on March 16th, (Rosh Chodesh Nisan), for The First Annual International Temple Mount Awareness Day. Whether you are living in Israel or you are living abroad, you can participate.

The Real Apartheid State by David Bedein
The Real Apartheid State
Adar 15, 5770, 01 March 10 07:33
by David Bedein
Israelnationalnews.com
During Israel Apartheid Week, orchestrated on campuses around the globe, the time has come to go on the attack, and to put the shoe on the other foot.
In 1948, Apartheid laws institutionalized racial discrimination in South Africa & denied human rights to 25 million Black citizens of South Africa.
In 1948, the Arab League of Nations applied the Apartheid model to Palestine, and declared that Jews must be denied rights as citizens of Israel, while declaring a total state of war to eradicate the new Jewish entity, a war that continues today.
In 1948, at the directive of the Arab League of Nations, Jordan devastated the vestiges of Jewish life from Judea and Samaria, and burned all schules in the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem.
In 1948, member states of the Arab League of Nations began to strip the human rights of Jews and to expel entire Jewish communities who had resided in their midst for centuries
In the mid 1960's, The Arab League of Nations spawned the PLO to organize local residents to continue the war to deny Jewish rights the right to live as free citizens in the land of Israel - well before Israel took over Judea, Samaria, and the Old City of Jerusalem in the defensive war waged by Israel in 1967.
And since its inception in 1994, the newly constituted Palestinian Authority, created by the PLO, has prepared the rudiments of a Palestinian State, modeled on the rules of Apartheid and institutionalized discrimination:
1. The right of Palestinian Arab refugees and their descendents to return to Arab villages lost in 1948 will be protected by the new Palestinian state.
2. While 20% of Israel’s citizens are Arabs, not one Jew will be allowed to live in a Palestinian State
3. Anyone who sells land to a Jew will be liable to the death penalty in the Palestinian State
4. Those who murder Jews are honored on all official Palestinian media outlets.
5. Palestinian Authority maps prepared for the Palestinian State depict all of Palestine under Palestinian rule
6. PA maps of Jerusalem for the Palestinian State once again delete the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem
7. Recent PA documents claim all of Jerusalem for the future Palestinian State.
8. The right of Jewish access to Jewish holy places is to be denied in the new Palestinian State.
9. The Draft Palestinian State Constitution denies juridical status to any religion except for Islam.
10. No system which protects human rights or civil liberties will exist in a Palestinian State
If that is not a formula for a totalitarian apartheid state of Palestine, then what is?

The Arab-occupied dismembered parts of the Jewish homeland known as the "Palestinian" territories are Judenrein by demand and yet the world ignores such apartheid? Both the United States and Israel acquiesce to such irony (remember Ariel Sharon?) and expel Jews when Israel would do well to expel their sworn Arab enemies, as Meir Kahane courageously called for saying they must go - reminding the nation of the Law of Moses that instructs them to enforce peace through strength.
Peace Now: Arabs and Jews Must Go Their Separate Ways
Not only do self-hating Jews and Israel-bashers expose their woeful ignorance of the facts on the ground in Israel, they reveal a disturbing lack of education when it comes to apartheid as formerly practiced in South Africa before the ANC communists and terrorist Nelson Mandela were empowered to destroy the nation.
