“Who will have pity on you, O Jerusalem, or who will grieve for you? Who will turn aside to ask about your welfare?" Jeremiah 15:5... "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem ~ Sha'alu Shalom Yerushalayim...." May they prosper who love you." Psalm 122:6

Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas continued his diplomatic offensive against Israel at the United Nations General Assembly, leveling a wide range of accusations against the Jewish state and calling for international protection. But amidst all the usual bluster, many observers missed a subtle, yet crucial, theme within Abbas's speech: That far from the "moderate" image he has cultivated, he views all of Israel as "occupied" and illegitimate, and aspires to the destruction of the country in its entirety. At one point, in comments broadcast live on PA TV and highlighted by Palestinian Media Watch (PMW), Abbas referred to Israel's "67-year occupation" - referring not to the "West Bank" (Judea and Samaria), but to the very founding of the State of Israel in 1948. "Mr. President, ladies and gentlemen, haven't you wondered: For how long will this protracted Israeli occupation of our land last? After 67 years (i.e., Israel's creation), how long? Do you think it can last, and that it benefits the Palestinian people?" Abbas asked. Arutz7News
As judgement begins to fall on nations across the world, pray many will separate truth from lie and embrace JESUS the Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach as LORD of all.
