From Melanie Phillips:
"Two Israeli soldiers in the reserves are seeking to bring a private prosecution against those activists who took part in the first Gaza flotilla -- and who are planning to take part once again in the current one -- for the crimes of assault and soliciting aid for an attack."

Occupied lands?
What's the real story behind the so-called "occupied territories". Are "Christian Zionists" really helping Israel to steal Palestinian land as pundits like Stephen Sizer suggest?
This is an important session offered by Jan Markell's Olive Tree Ministries:
June 4, 2011 - Hour 2 Our guest host is Dr. Randy White, Pastor of First Baptist Church, Katy, TX. White interviews Sondra Baras of Christian Friends of Israeli Communities. Sondra is a resident of Biblical Samaria. Living in the land of the Patriarchs, Sondra is an Orthodox Jew who strongly believes that the West Bank is land given by God to Israel. This broadcast will make you aware of the settlement movement among Jews, who the settlers are, and how Christians can bless the Jewish settlers of the land of Israel. Go here to find Dr. White's book on the Antichrist. We highly recommend it. -- http://www.fbckaty.com/

Note: Israel is special in the eyes of God and He hasn't forsaken them. It needs Christ, who is the only one way to salvation. That is in God's hands as well.

Evangelical Left Targets Israel
From FrontPageMag:
Anti-Israel activists rightly see American evangelicals as key to U.S. support for Israel. That is why they are targeting evangelicals with messages of pro-Palestinian solidarity as supposedly central to Christian compassion. A new evangelical film, “With God on Our Side,” is coming out this month to rebut pro-Israel Christians and persuade them to champion the Palestinian cause...read more
Let there be no mistake: President Obama’s attack on Israel’s right to govern in eastern Jerusalem has nothing to do with American national interests, and nothing to do with a “peace process.” Other American leaders may have disagreed with Israeli policy, but none of them made it a casus belli.
No other prominent politician sought to impose the “two-state solution,” based on 60-year-old cease-fire lines with Jordan, instead of a negotiated agreement. Obama’s move leaps beyond all previous “accords,” plans and “road maps.” Never before has the United States sought to dictate the terms of Israeli surrender, thereby undermining its only reliable ally in the region...Obama’s Two-State Delusion
As U.S.-Israel tensions climb to unfamiliar heights, they recall a prior round of tensions nearly thirty years ago, when Menachem Begin and Ronald Reagan were in charge. In contrast to Binyamin Netanyahu’s repeated apologies, Begin adopted a quite different approach...When Israel Stood Up to Washington
From CAMERA:
As stated in other CAMERA reports, the Presbyterian Church will be voting on a number of issues related to the Arab-Israeli conflict at its upcoming General Assembly scheduled to take place in early July. In addition to an overture accusing Israel of the crime of apartheid, and another calling on the PC(USA) to rebuke Caterpillar for selling products to Israel, delegates at the assembly will also decide whether or not to endorse a report about the Arab-Israeli conflict written by a partisan Middle East Study Committee established by the denomination's 2008 General Assembly...Presbyterian Peacemakers Omit Relevant Facts About Ghassan Kanafani

Israel and the “Christian Zionists”
There are several “ministers” of different “religions” who seem to oppose Israel’s claim to the land and habitually either lobby or write articles along those lines. I often read the term “Christian Zionists” in a derogatory manner and whenever I do so it immediately suggests to me several things about the person using that term.
First of all it’s certain the person will be a Supersessionist. Following on from that position, it is then highly likely the person will formulate all kinds of arguments that will attempt to reduce the validity of national Israel’s claims on the small parcel of land they now possess. Second, the term “Christian Zionist” will probably have been uttered by someone who is anti-Dispensational. The person holding to this view will often attribute far too much political power and influence by Dispies on Middle Eastern affairs.
A heated debate is raging over who owns the land upon which modern Jerusalem sits. Recently-labeled “Christian Zionists” (1) say God originally gave that land to the Jews, therefore the Palestinians have no real “right” to it at all. These Christian Zionists have urged President Bush and U.S. politicians to reject the proposed Road Map to Peace as offensive to God because it grants Palestinians equal rights to live on the land – and to have their own state – next to Israel. The Road Map has even been labeled "a Roadmap to hell" (2) – a denial of God's ancient promise to give His chosen people that specific piece of real estate...Read it HERE
Reading the above simplistic statement could easily lead someone to conclude that “Christian Zionists” and Israelis are somehow complicit in conspiring against the Palestinians. Is this the case?
Scripture is the most important aspect of this subject but, purely from a secular point of view, Israel has every right to the land determined to them post WW2.
We need to understand what size parcel of land was originally allocated to her and whether that was reduced (it was) and why (Arab protest).
We need to understand how and why Israel came to posses the Golan, Jerusalem and the Gaza strip (they were attacked by Arab nations).
We need to understand who the “Palestinians” really are and whether or not they were really displaced by Israel.
Finally, we need to recognize the fact that, by their statements, the “Palestinian” leaders don’t just want a return of “their land” nor do they want to live in peace in a Two State Solution side by side with Israel. The surrounding nations simply want to eliminate Israel from the area.
I’ve listed a number of links below that give a broad overview of the situation between Israel and her neighbors, from both a current and historical perspective. Unfortunately, I’ve come across Christians and secular people who seem to want, or need, to believe that Israel is the sole culprit of the Middle East problem, and nothing will deter them from believing this. This anti-Israel mind-set continues to confound me. Israel is held up to standards of behavior that no other nation is expected to uphold.

The Battle Over the Temple Mount
Zec 12:3 "It will come about in that day that I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who lift it will be severely injured. And all the nations of the earth will be gathered against it.
One of the main obstacles in previous peace-making efforts has been the issue of dividing Jerusalem and control over the Temple Mount. Muslim denial of Judaism's historical and religious ties to Jerusalem and the Temple Mount, the Waqf's illegal construction there, and the violent response to Jewish activities there present an obstacle to peace-making efforts...Read more

Paradoxically, despite the alarming ongoing surge of Islamic religious and political extremism in Europe, the European Union and individual European countries seem poised for what could become the ugliest confrontation with Israel since the creation of the Jewish state. Crude threats are being conveyed to the Netanyahu government, making it clear that unless it capitulates to a series of demands, relations will be downgraded and boycotts may even be instituted. Unconfirmed rumors are circulating that the US State Department does not object to these European initiatives. Ugly vibes from Europe

British Journalists March for Palestine
From Pajamas Media:
Did you like the film Groundhog Day? Well, even if you didn’t you will know what I mean by a “Groundhog Day” sequence of events. Two years ago I wrote in my diary about my anguish and hurt over the behavior of my fellow journalists at an NUJ (National Union of Journalists) magazine branch meeting. You may ask, “What is a good conservative lass doing hanging out with a trade union crowd?” Okay, I admit: I am a union member in Britain because I do think we workers need protection. In fact, that is why I think the NUJ exists, but every time I go to a meeting the obsession is not jobs or wages but — you guessed it — evil Israel!..Read More
...One has to be struck by the remarkable animus toward Israel demonstrated by some of the leaders of this administration, as by various pundits and politicians. It is quite astonishing to see the Obama White House dispatch waves of diplomats to make nice to Iranians–at the very moment that Tehran is stepping up the violence against Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan–while sternly warning Israel not to “surprise” us by taking action against the fanatical ayatollahs who have vowed to destroy the Jewish state....The Ancient Evil

Are You a Christian Zionist?

Around the world, the mantra is heard with increasing volume. "Down with the Zionist Satan!" "Zionism is illegal … and racist and imperialist!" Within intellectual circles, books, articles and tracts are carrying the same message. And it's not only the Israeli settlers who are targeted. Those who support modern Israel are equally blamed by the same groups.

Smearing Christian Zionists
By Mark D. Tooley
FrontPageMagazine.com Friday, March 27, 2009
Church of England priest Stephen Sizer, vicar of Christ Church, Virginia Water in Surrey, has made attacking Christian support for Israel his central mission. Ironically, he comes not from the church’s left-wing but its evangelical branch, giving him access to wider global audiences not otherwise available. Sizer’s latest book, Zion’s Christian Soldiers, warns that pro-Israel U.S. evangelicals have monstrously distorted the Middle East by aligning America with Israel.
“In its worst forms, Christian Zionism uses the Bible to justify racial superiority, land expropriation, home demolitions, colonial settlements, the denial of international law and the dehumanization of Arabs,” Sizer complains. It also “provides a biblical justification for U.s. intervention in the Middle East. It is deeply mistrustful of the United Nations and the European Community, and actively opposes the implementation of international law and the right of Palestinians to a sovereign state alongside Israel.” read more

Church of England priest Stephen Sizer, vicar of Christ Church, Virginia Water in Surrey, has made attacking Christian support for Israel his central mission. Ironically, he comes not from the church’s left-wing but its evangelical branch, giving him access to wider global audiences not otherwise available. Sizer’s latest book, Zion’s Christian Soldiers, warns that pro-Israel U.S. evangelicals have monstrously distorted the Middle East by aligning America with Israel.
“In its worst forms, Christian Zionism uses the Bible to justify racial superiority, land expropriation, home demolitions, colonial settlements, the denial of international law and the dehumanization of Arabs,” Sizer complains. It also “provides a biblical justification for U.s. intervention in the Middle East. It is deeply mistrustful of the United Nations and the European Community, and actively opposes the implementation of international law and the right of Palestinians to a sovereign state alongside Israel.” read more
