Each week we provide you with one of the week's most thought provoking articles. | |  Condi pulls a Solomon: Split Jerusalem in 2
by Aaron Klein (Worldnetdaily.com)
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, completing a visit to the region today, has been pressing Israel to sign a document by the end of the year that would divide Jerusalem by offering the Palestinians a state in Israel's capital city as well as in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, according to top diplomatic sources involved in the talks.
The Israeli team, led by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, has been negotiating the division of Jerusalem despite claims to the contrary but would rather conclude an agreement on paper by the end of the year that would give the Palestinians a state in the West Bank, Gaza and some Israeli territory, leaving conclusions on Jerusalem for a later date, the informed diplomatic sources told WND. The sources said the Palestinian team has been pushing to conclude a deal by January on all core issues, including Jerusalem, and has been petitioning the U.S. to pressure Israel into signing an agreement on paper that offers the Palestinians eastern Jerusalem. Rice, the sources said, has asked Israeli leaders to bend to what the U.S. refers to as a "compromise position," concluding an Israeli-Palestinian agreement by the end of the year that guarantees sections of Jerusalem to the Palestinians. But Israel would not be required to withdraw from Jerusalem for a period of one to five years. Continue Reading>> | | One that calls for a Response
Each week we take a meaningful quote, tie it to scripture, and leave you with a take-home. | |  Sect. Condoleezza Rice, on Tuesday, after being asked what she thought about Israel's release of 198 Palestinian security prisoners said: "There is no doubt that the prisoner exchange [sic] is very important to the Palestinians. It's something that Abu Mazen [Abbas] brings up each time we meet…. This is something that matters a lot to the Palestinians. It matters a lot to the Palestinian people. And it is obviously a sign of goodwill."
God said: "Listen, King Jehoshaphat and all who live in Judah and Jerusalem! This is what the Lord says to you: 'Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God's. Tomorrow march down against them. They will be climbing up by the Pass of Ziz, and you will find them at the end of the gorge in the Desert of Jeruel. You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you, O Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the Lord will be with you.' " (II Chronicles 20:15-17)
The Jerusalem Connection says: With the most recent release of 198 Palestinian security prisoners, the Olmert government continues its policy of offering “goodwill gestures” towards Abbas without demanding any reciprocal action. Abbas has caught on to the game of give-and-take minus the give. As soon as the prisoners were received by a cheering Palestinian crowd, Abbas announced “we will not rest until [all] the prisoners are freed and the [Israeli] jails are empty.” In all Israel’s talk of “goodwill gestures,” no word was mentioned of Gilad Shalit, who was spending his 22nd birthday in captivity. The Olmert government says Israel must pay a “difficult price” for the return of Shalit. Why shouldn’t Hamas pay a “difficult price” for the capture of Shalit?

Jihad in Academia visually details the relationship between the radical Muslim Brotherhood and the nearly 150 chapters of the Muslim Student Association found on college and university campuses across America.
As you watch the video, you will discover that Muslim Student Associations have become quite adept at classic Marxist tactics of blurring the truth with lies and slanders.

The Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem is not a single location event but rather a worldwide celebration day when local churchs remember to pray for Jerusalem in their Sunday services. Although there will be a Jerusalem Celebration of this day carried live on GOD TV around the world, the real thrust of the initiative is on the local church level. Please be sure that your church is participating! Visit http://www.daytopray.com/ to find out more and see the resources available to register your church for the Day of Prayer.
