Each week we provide you with one of the week's most thought provoking articles. | |  Huckabee tells it like it is in Israel!
by Josiah Ryan and Herb Keinon
Former US presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee said Tuesday (watch video) there is no room for a Palestinian state "in the middle of the Jewish homeland" and that Israel should be able to build settlements wherever it wants. Huckabee's opposition to a Palestinian state puts him at odds with the accepted wisdom of both Democrats and Republicans - and to some degree even with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has come out in favor of a demilitarized Palestinian state. Speaking to a small group of foreign reporters in Jerusalem, Huckabee, seen as a possible Republican presidential candidate in 2012, said the international community should consider establishing a Palestinian state some place else. "The question is should the Palestinians have a place to call their own? Yes, I have no problem with that. Should it be in the middle of the Jewish homeland? That's what I think has to be honestly assessed as virtually unrealistic," he said. 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. | |  Palestinian Authority university lecturer in modern history, Shamekeh Alawneh said: "The [Jews'] goal in giving the name 'Wailing Wall' to this [Western] Wall is political. . . The Jewish Zionists had no choice but to invent an excuse [about Jerusalem] to spread among the Zionists or the Jews in Europe, to connect to something concrete from the past about Jerusalem. They made false claims and called the 'Al-Burak Wall' the 'Wailing Wall'. … It has no historical roots. This is political terminology to win the hearts and the support of the Zionists in Europe, so they would emigrate and come to Palestine. Nothing more!"
[Note: Denying Jewish history in Jerusalem and the existence of the Jewish Temple is a central component of PA political ideology. This denial started with Yasser Arafat and continues to be reiterated by academics, politicians and religious leaders. PA leaders systematically distort the ancient history of Jerusalem, ignoring the vast historical documentation and thousands of archeological finds related to Jewish history that have been found in Jerusalem.]
God Says: “Then Solomon began to build the temple of the Lord in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the Lord had appeared to his father David. It was on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite, the place provided by David. … “But now I have chosen Jerusalem for my name to be there, and I have chosen David to rule my people Israel. … “I have chosen and consecrated this temple so that my Name may be there forever. My eyes and my heart will always be there.” (II Chronicles 3:1; 6:6; 7:16).
The Jerusalem Connection Says: So now, who are we to believe, the Word of God or a revisionist historian? Tragically, our foreign policy of recent years has been built in support of the myths perpetuated by revisionist historians. Hopefully there well be future leaders in the United States and Israel who will add their voices to Mike Huckabee’s trumpet that gives a “clear and certain call.” Otherwise, we are woefully unprepared for battle, for “the whole world is under the control of the evil one!” (I John 5:19). | |  1958 one hour interview of Abba Eban by Mike Wallace
by Israpundit
Watch this interview of an antisemitic interviewer intent on repeating on national television, in the most watched show in the US, every charge against Israel that the most scurrilous people make, and the brilliant responses from the incomparable Abba Eban, Israel's Ambassador to the UN.
Eban's responses were deftly and delicately stated. They succeeded in turning all the horrific charges Wallace made into Israel's favour, with dignity and irony.
