Each week we provide you with one of the week's most thought provoking articles. | |  How Israel's race could shift ours
by Dick Morris and Eileen McGann
The most important primary for our 2008 election may be yet to come - the Kadima Party primary in Israel in mid or late September. It pits liberal-leaning Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni against hardliner and former Army Chief of Staff Shaul Mofaz. (Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is expected to sit out the contest and concentrate on staying out of jail.) The polls are neck and neck; in the most recent, Livni’s once-formidable lead has shrunk to 2 points. Hanging over the battle is the Iranian nuclear program. Livni is thought unlikely to attack Iran precipitously; she largely sees eye-to-eye with advocates of diplomatic solutions to the various problems her country faces. But Mofaz has openly said he’d resort to bombing Iran if it were necessary to stop the mullahs from getting the bomb. So if Mofaz wins, military action becomes much more likely. But when? By most accounts, the Israeli Defense Force would need considerable American cooperation to pull off such a strike. No top-level Israeli politician has much confidence that Barack Obama would be forthcoming. But most are confident that President Bush or John McCain would give Israel the help that it needs. So if Obama wins here, a Mofaz government would feel great pressure to attack before Bush leaves office. If McCain wins, Israel would have more time.

Each week we take a meaningful quote, tie it to scripture, and leave you with a take-home. | |  Israel's Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said: "I have decided I won't run in the Kadima movement primaries, nor do I intend to intervene in the elections. When a new (Kadima party) chairman is chosen, I will resign as prime minister to permit them to put together a new government swiftly and effectively. I will step aside properly in an honorable and responsible way, and afterwards I will prove my innocence."
God says: "The Most High is sovereign over the kingdoms of men and gives them to anyone he wishes and sets over them the lowliest of men." ... "For exaltation comes neither from the east nor from the west nor from the south. But God is the Judge; He brings down one and exalts another." (Daniel 4:17; Psalm 75:6-7)
The Jerusalem Connection says: Olmert's resignation is a welcome and hopeful sign to many Christians and Jews. President Shimon Peres dampens that hope with his call for a divided Jerusalem. Face it, the leadership deficit in the U.S. and Israel has been appalling. Chamberlain has been replaced by President Bush's "Road Map to Peace" as a model for appeasement -- a model that insures the incremental suicide of Israel. The upcoming elections in the U.S. and Israel are critical and definitive. We could well be on the verge of seeing the confirmation of the Daniel 9:27 covenant/agreement. If that's the case, fasten your spiritual seat belts. (For more on this, don't miss the Sept-Oct issue of The Jerusalem Connection Report.)
 If you haven't already, please add your signature to the "Resolution Regarding Israel" for Senator John McCain. | | |  Irena Sendler was a lovely, courageous woman and one of the most dedicated and active workers in aiding Jews during the Nazi occupation of Poland. Her courage enabled not only the survival of 2,500 Jewish children but also of the generations of their descendants. Glenn Beck tells her powerful story on his program.
