By Jpost.com
Washington D.C. – House Republican Whip Eric Cantor issued the following statement on Thursday in response to President Obama’s remarks Tuesday, which appeared in the New York Times, that Israel may be “costing us significantly in terms of both blood and treasure.” “Israel is a democracy that has always made the sacrifices necessary for peace despite living under constant threats to their very existence. The true barrier to ending the Mideast conflict is the widespread Palestinian refusal to accept and to live alongside Israel as a Jewish state." Read on... | | One that calls for a Response
Each Friday we take a meaningful quote, tie it to scripture, and leave you with a take-home. | |  Former New York (Jewish) Mayor Ed Koch said: "I weep today because my president, Barack Obama, in a few weeks has changed the relationship between the US and Israel from that of closest of allies to one in which there is an absence of trust."…our closest ally… has been demeaned and slandered, held responsible …for our problems in Afghanistan and Iraq and elsewhere in the Middle East."
Ed Koch said he suspects the plan is "to so weaken the resolve of the of the Jewish state and its leaders so that it will be much easier to impose on Israel an American plan to resolve the Israel-Palestinian conflict, leaving Israel's needs for security and defensible borders in the lurch."
God says: “Because they lead my people astray, ‘Peace, Peace’ they say, when there is no peace.” … “I lift my hand to heaven and declare: As surely as I live forever, when I sharpen my flashing sword and my hand grasps it in judgment, I will take vengeance on my adversaries and repay those who hate me. I will make my arrows drunk with blood, while my sword devours flesh: the blood of the slain and the captives, the heads of the enemy leaders. "Rejoice, O nations, with his people, for he will avenge the blood of his servants; he will take vengeance on his enemies and make atonement for his land and people.” (Ezekiel 13:10; Deuteronomy 32:40-43).
 The Jerusalem Connection says: To think that our leaders refuse to consult much less implement the clear declarations of Holy Scripture regarding Israel, is to place this nation in extreme peril. In the last analysis our only hope is to follow Jesus’ command, “Be always on the watch and earnestly pray that you may have the power to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.” (Luke 21:36). |  Ed Koch, former NY city mayor, on Fox news
Koch says the Jews feel betrayed by Obama and that he "smells Munich in the air."

Jerusalem always has been and will be an integral part of the Holy Land and the Jewish nation. Olive trees were always an important part of the holy city of Jerusalem. When King Solomon built the Temple he built major parts of the sanctuary out of olive wood. In the inner sanctuary he made two cherubims of olive wood, each ten cubits high (Kings I 6: 23.)
Olive oil was an essential part of worship rituals in the Temple. “Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually." ( Leviticus 24: 2)
Much as in ancient times, the olives from our grove in the Valley of Soreq in the Holy Land are lovingly tended, gathered, and pressed into the purest of oils. Our olives produce oil with a fruity taste, light peppery bite and delicate aroma. Delivered to you at a sale price.
