"For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved." John 3:17

Top Israeli military officials have confirmed that the embattled forces of Syrian dictator Bashar Assad have used chemical weapons against rebel populations.

Equally concerning, said the Israelis, is the lack of an international response to this crime.

It is believed Assad's forces have used sarin as well as other chemical weapons in recent weeks. The Assad regime is in possession of more than 1,000 tons of chemical weapon agents, and the deafening silence of the international community now that these banned substances are being used is cause for great concern.

If the world will not speak up when Assad uses these weapons against his own people, will it do anything to stop terrorist groups who seize the chemical weapons in the wake of Assad's fall from using them against Israel?

Speaking in Istanbul, John Kerry said that after what Americans had gone through in Boston last week, "I have deep feelings for what happens when you have violence, when something that happens when you lose people that are near and dear to you. It affects the community; it affects the country."

The remark was made in the context of addressing the May 2010 Israeli interception of a Turkish-led flotilla attempting to break the maritime blockade of the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip. Kerry said he could understand the pain and frustration of the families of those aboard the flotilla's lead ship, the Mavi Marmara, nine of whom lost their lives after violently attacking the Israeli boarding party.

Kerry's remarks are another indication of how little Washington really understands the Middle East.

From friends living in Israel -

'Tension is rising on the Israel-Syria cease-fire line on the Golan Heights and Israeli PM Binyamin Netanyahu says he's ready to launch military operation to prevent the weakening Damascus regime's chemical and other advanced weapons falling into Islamist hands. Israeli officials say the Jewish state's northern border is more tense than at any time since the cease-fire that ended the Yom Kippur War in October 1973.

In Iran:  Iran needs only 80 kilograms more of 20% enriched uranium before it can produce a nuclear bomb.

and in Lebanon:  Hamas and Hizbullah in Lebanon are preparing for war with Israel. Tens of thousands of rockets of various types have been purchased, waiting for the right circumstances to fire them into Israel.

As tensions and pressures continue to build to a catastrophic breaking point in the Middle East, pray Israel’s leaders and citizens will be prepared and equipped to deal with possible coming scenarios on all of its borders and in major cities. Pray for God’s mercy to avert and immobilize enemy attempts to attack and cripple the Jewish state.

Sha'alu Shalom Yerushalayim

Our prayers for those in Boston, our thanks to those in Israel.

Israeli Police Chief Yohanan Danino and his senior staff departed for a scheduled visit to Boston to meet with FBI and other US law enforcement officials. Danino will work to further law enforcement cooperation between the two nations and provide Israeli expertise in the investigation into the marathon bombing.

By contrast, members of the Palestinian organizations Hamas and Islamic Jihad reportedly danced and handed out candies in the streets of Gaza after hearing about the spilling of American blood. Islamists in neighboring Jordan told local media that the Americans deserved such terror.

Chief of emergency services at Massachusetts General Hospital, which treated the bulk of those wounded in the Boston Marathon bombing, credited Israel with preparing his staff to effectively deal with such an scenario. Two years ago Dr. Alasdair Conn invited Israeli experts to train his staff on handling mass casualty situations. That training was put to good use on Monday, and Massachusetts General was widely praised for it handling of the situation.

The UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) is the only separate refugee agency ever set up by the UN.Primarily funded by the US and EU, the UNRWA is spending roughly $500 million per year on Palestinian schools, employing over 10,000 local teachers.

The UNRWA does not produce texbooks for these schools, but rather lets the PLO-run Palestinian Authority using American dollars and European euros, teach whatever they deem appropriate.



Security forces recently captured a Hamas [think PLO] terrorist cell group operating out of Jerusalem's Temple Mount.

The parallels are frighteningly obvious for all who will see:

Decisions deliberated in secret, believing that the situation was so complicated the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if the people could not understand it, it could not be released because of national security. Widening of the gap between the government and the people, each step disguised as a temporary emergency measure, true patriotic allegiance or real social purposes.  All the crisies and reforms seemingly so occupy the majority of Americans [as it did the Germans] that they do not see the slow motion underneath, or government growing more remoter and powerful.

They Thought They Were Free, by Milton Mayer.

Just as Bonhoeffer was surrounded by lukewarm pastors and cultural "Christians" who supported Hitler [aka the government and its agenda] so too is the remnant in America. To most people in the established _______Church, security and wealth have become more important than God's precious Word and faithfulness to Him.

NEVER AGAIN.!!!!!

"Zionists are bacteria, the Jews are polluted people that spread disease. A cancerous growth which must be removed from the Middle East."

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu continued: "That was not just said in the 1930's and 1940's - it is said today.  Antisemitic hatred has not disappeared, it has been switched with murderous hatred against the state of the Jews. What has changed is our ability to defend ourselves."

-- Six world powers have failed to reach agreement on how to reduce tensions that Tehran might use its nuclear technology to make weapons. 

EU reports: The lack of forward movement in international negotiations that started a decade ago has increased concerns diplomacy is ineffective as a tool to stop Iran from moving toward nuclear-weapon making capacity.

Beware ye people of the book, BEWARE.!!.

Israel - should "Palestinians" have their way.

Objective - Destruction; one piece at a time.
