"I Will Defend Israel 'whatever the cost'" Please watch:  Fault Lines - Canada-Israel: The other special relationship I congratulate our Honourable Prime Minister Stephen Harper for the courageous stand he is taking since he took office in 2006. Please see  letter to Honourable Prime Minister Stephen Harper by David Harris,  Executive Director, American Jewish Committee (AJC) and Senior Associate, St. Antony's College, Oxford University, assesses challenges to Jewish security worldwide.  Here’ an excerpt:  When Israel responded to the killing and kidnapping of its soldiers on the Lebanese border by targeting Hezbollah, Stephen Harper spoke up for Israel’s right to defend itself, citing Hezbollah as responsible for the violence and asserting that the terrorist group sought Israel’s destruction. In the same year, the 53 French-speaking countries known as the Francophonie met, Canada vetoed language to condemn Israeli violence against civilians in Lebanon because...

Newt Gingrich and the "Invented" Palestinian People

by Daniel Pipes December 10, 2011 http://www.danielpipes.org/blog/2011/12/newt-gingrich-and-the-invented-palestinian-people The former speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives and current Republican presidential candidate  said yesterday that "there was no Palestine as a state. It was part of the Ottoman Empire. We have invented the Palestinian people, who are in fact Arabs and are historically part of the Arab people, and they had the chance to go many places." Everyone  from the PLO to a Mitt Romney spokesman  jumped on Gingrich for this assertion, but he happens to be absolutely correct: no Arabic-speaking Muslims identified themselves as "Palestinian" until 1920, when, in rapid order this appellation and identity was adopted by the Muslim Arabs living in the British mandate of Palestine. For details, see a long article of mine from  1989  on the topic or a short one from  2000 . (December 10, 2011) The Year the Arabs Discovered Palestine {Long versi...

Is There a Second Chance?

Is There a Second Chance? If you believe as I do that the Bible teaches a rapture of the Church to occur before Daniel's 70 th  Week begins then you've no doubt wondered what will happen to those among your friends and family who will miss it.    Will they get another chance to be saved?   Those Who Are Perishing For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way.    And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming.    The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders,    and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.    For this reason God sends them a powerfu...

When Satan Blinds, Here's What You Miss

By   Joe McKeever "Your words have stood men on their feet." Job 4:4 But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.  II Corinthians 4:3-4 It's not just that outsiders to the faith have not been shown the way to eternal life, as though they were sitting by the roadside waiting. It's not simply that the unsaved need to be instructed and helped, as though they were gathered in a celestial waiting room somewhere, eager for us to appear. Neither are the lost blank slates on which we may write Heaven's love-letters to their souls, as though nothing had corrupted their minds or skewed their values. The unsaved are in serious trouble. A great many of those without Christ have been blinded by the enemy. Not all, thankfully, but far too many. Satan has done a number on thos...

Canada: First Country to Sign Protocol on Combating Anti-Semitism Posted By   Stephen Brown   On October 7, 2011 @ 12:06 am In   Daily Mailer,FrontPage   |   20 Comments As if any further proof was necessary, Canada stepped forward once again and showed the world that it is Israel’s best friend. In taking the field on behalf of the Jewish people this time around, the Conservative government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper became the first country last week to sign the Ottawa Protocol on Combating Anti-Semitism. (For the full text of the protocol click   here .) “The fact that this important document was crafted in Ottawa is further testimony to Canada’s leadership role in this vital global battle,” said Shimon Fogel of the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, adding that the protocol is “groundbreaking” and “will serve as the basis of the renewed international effort against anti-Semitism.” The protocol, drawn up by international parliamentarians in a...
