Each Friday we provide you with one of the week's most thought-provoking articles. | |  Hamas' 54 Democratic Congressmen
by Daniel Greenfield, Sultan Knish
Keith Ellison, widely hailed as America's first Muslim congressman, could more accurately be described as CAIR and Hamas' man in Congress. Congressman Ellison has been a regular presence at CAIR fundraisers and at pro-Hamas rallies in the United States. As a former member of Farrakhan's Nation of Islam, Ellison has enough anti-semitic and Islamist credentials to satisfy anyone, and had expressed openly anti-semitic beliefs in the past. Since Ellison got his start with CAIR , his attempt to provide support for Hamas is completely unsurprising. Both Hamas and CAIR are projects of the Muslim Brotherhood, which also helped birth Al Queda. Organizations like CAIR do the same work in America that Hamas does in Israel. The difference is that CAIR does its work on a political level, while Hamas functions on both a political and a military level. Like CAIR, Ellison is careful to cloak his pro-Hamas agenda, which he does by mentioning that all violence is wrong and that Israelis probably shouldn't be shelled-- but the thrust of his agenda is to force Israel to open its border with Hamas.

Each Friday we take a meaningful quote, tie it to scripture, and leave you with a take-home. |  Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at a ceremony marking 65 years since the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp, said: "We have gathered here, Poles and Jews, at the crossroads of tragedy. Our long shared history included tremendous cultural accomplishments and the lowest low humanity has experienced. We were here. We remember those who froze to death; if they did not freeze to death, they were executed by gas, burned in the ovens. We remember also that one-third of the Righteous Gentiles, those who risked their lives and their children’s lives and those of their families in order to save others, were Poles. We remember all this…
To those who were murdered here, and to those who survived the destruction, I come from Jerusalem today with this promise: We will never forget! We will never permit those who desecrated this monument to death to distort or wipe away your memory. …
The most important lesson of the Holocaust is that a murderous evil must be stopped early, when it is still in its infancy and before it can carry out its designs. The enlightened nations of the world must learn this lesson.
We, the Jewish nation, who lost a third of our people on Europe's blood-soaked soil, have learned that the only guarantee for defending our people is a strong State of Israel and the army of Israel. We have learned to warn the nations of the world of approaching danger but at the same time to prepare to defend ourselves.
As the head of the Jewish state, I pledge to you today: We will never again permit evil to snuff out the life of our people and the life of our own country.
God says: I have posted watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on Yahweh, give yourselves no rest, and give him no rest till he establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth. Yahweh has sworn by his right hand and by his mighty arm: "Never again will I give your grain as food for your enemies, and never again will foreigners drink the new wine for which you have toiled; but those who harvest it will eat it and praise the Yahweh, and those who gather the grapes will drink it in the courts of my sanctuary.…They will be called the Holy People, the Redeemed of Yahweh; and you will be called Sought After, the City No Longer Deserted. (Isaiah 62:6-12).
 The Jerusalem Connection says: Noticeable for its absence from his State of the Union message was any reference by President Obama to Israel or the Palestinians. Nevertheless, Jews world wide remembered this week the Holocaust Memorial Day and those whose diabolical commitment to replicate it by “wiping Israel of the map.” We are exhorted to “pray for the peace of Jerusalem” (Psalm 122:6). As a prelude to that prayer which should first pray, “O God, do not keep silent; be not quiet, O God, be not still. See how your enemies are astir, how your foes rear their heads. With cunning they conspire against your people; they plot against those you cherish. "Come," they say, "let us destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel be remembered no more." With one mind they plot together; they form an alliance against you- … Cover their faces with shame so that men will seek your name, O Yahweh. May they ever be ashamed and dismayed; may they perish in disgrace. Let them know that you, whose name is the Yahweh— that you alone are the Most High over all the earth. (Psalm 83). | |  The Auschwitz Album
The Auschwitz Album is the only surviving visual evidence of the process of mass murder at Auschwitz-Birkenau. It is a unique document and was donated to Yad Vashem by Lilly Jacob-Zelmanovic Meier. The photos were taken at the end of May or beginning of June 1944, either by Ernst Hofmann or by Bernhard Walter, two SS men whose task was to take ID photos and fingerprints of the inmates (not of the Jews who were sent directly to the gas chambers).
See Album | | Buy Olive Oil from Israel!
In the story of Jotham (Judges 9:8-15) the Olive Tree refuses to become the trees' king: 'Should I give up my oil, by which both God and men are honored, to hold sway over the trees?'
