Each week we provide you with one of the week's most thought provoking articles. | |  Right urges PM: Don't give in to Obama
by Gil Hoffman
MKs from every party in the coalition except for Labor sent a message to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu at the Knesset on Wednesday, warning him not to cave into US President Barack Obama's calls for the creation of a Palestinian state when the two meet in the White House on Monday.
Likud MK Danny Danon convened MKs, professors and other public figures who oppose a Palestinian state to counteract the pressure on Netanyahu from world leaders and the Left to endorse the mantra of "two states for two peoples." The group will convene on May 26 with Vice Premier Moshe Ya'alon to consider alternative diplomatic plans for the Right. "The press has been spreading the message that the good of the nation requires two states for two peoples, and people have been accepting it, even inside the Likud," Danon said. "There were elections, which gave a mandate to the nationalist camp and not to a Palestinian state. When the prime minister leaves to Washington and the pressure rises on him to accept two states, we must offer an alternative solution." 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. | |  Syndicated columnist Mona Charon said: By what reasoning has the administration decided that pushing Israel to permit a new Palestinian state would -- in any way -- diminish the threat from Iran? Do they believe that Iran's (or I should say the Iranian leadership's) genocidal hostility toward Israel is the result of lack of progress toward an independent Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza? … President Obama has sent abundant signals that his foreign policy is 50 percent wishful thinking and 50 percent leftwing mush. There may not be any easy answers to the problem of a nuclear Iran. But pressuring Israel to take suicidal risks is clearly the worst possible approach. Iran will conclude, as its proxies Hezbollah and Hamas at various times concluded, that force and the threat of force work.
God says: “I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem. On that day when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves. … On that day I will make the leaders of Jerusalem like a firepot in a woodpile, like a flaming torch among sheaves. They will consume right and left all the surrounding peoples, but Jerusalem will remain intact in her place.” ( Zechariah 12:2-3, 6).
The Jerusalem Connection says: The pressure on Prime Minister Netanyahu to agree to the folly of a two-state solution is going to be relentless and intense. The two-state solution calls for nothing less than the incremental suicide of Israel. If however, Israel refuses to commit suicide, the God of Israel “will subdue their enemies and turn my hand against their foes.” Meanwhile, what should Christian Zionists do? “For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, for Jerusalem’s sake I will not remain quiet. … You who call on the name of the LORD, give yourselves no rest, and give Him no rest till He establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of all the earth.” (Isaiah 62:1, 6-7).
