May 14th, 1948 saw the re-establishment of the State of Israel. After almost 1900 years of dispersion of the Jewish people, this fact is a major landmark in the history of the world. It is also a sign of God as Biblical prophecies have been fulfilled; which in turn brings the return of our Lord Jesus Christ that much closer! We wish to alert everyone to these magnificent facts, while at the same time offer practical help to the Jewish people.

What matters is what God says…
By Henk Kamsteeg
 With the official resignation of Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on September 21, the leading Kadima party is now headed by Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, who has been appointed by President Shimon Peres to try to put together a coalition to run the government. If she cannot, new elections are on the horizon and opposition leader Benyamin Netanyahu remains more popular than the Kadima candidate in most polls and may defeat her to become the next Prime Minister.
In the meantime, the embattled outgoing PM Olmert is accelerating negotiations with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, offering to give much of the biblical lands of Judea and Samaria (Westbank) to the PA, and to divide Jerusalem.

To Two Nations Under God
By Joel C. Rosenberg
 Is anyone out there still hesitant to describe Vladmir Putin as a dangerous, destabilizing Czar who is an enemy, not a friend, of the West? When my book Epicenter was first published in September 2006, some thought I was overstating Putin's threat to the free world. If anything, I was understating it. The recent Russian invasion of Georgia has made that quite clear, has it not?
Russian forces bombed the daylights out of the citizens of Georgia. They are still trying to overthrow Georgia's democratically elected leaders. They are still trying to eliminate Georgia as a pipeline route for Caspian Sea oil flowing to the West. But controlling this former Soviet republic is not Moscow's highest objective. Putin and his Kremlin cronies want to control (if not own outright) Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Turkey, as well. They are Hell-bent on dominating all of the peoples of the Caucuses as part of a revived Russian imperialism that sees the future of the country inextricably tied to pushing southward and linking up with Islamic allies throughout the Middle East.

Anti-Semitism without anti-Semites
By Henryk Broder
 The Domestic Affairs Committee of the German Bundestag recently held public hearings on anti-Semitism in Germany. Many of the speakers chose to focus on the “classical” anti-Semitism to be found in what in Germany are euphemistically called “right-wing extremist” milieus, i.e., among skinheads and self-avowed neo-Nazis. The journalist Henryk Broder, however, located the problem elsewhere: namely, in the mainstream “anti-Zionist anti-Semitism” to be found, for instance, among academics … and Bundestag members. Pajamas Media here presents a complete English translation of Henryk Broder’s statement to the Bundestag’s Domestic Affairs Committee.
I thank you for the invitation to this hearing. It is an honor for me to be able to speak to you. I know that there has been some unhappiness on account of my participation. But I am sure that by the end of my statement you will not regret having invited me.

Why Stand With Israel Today?
 Israel is a land about which God says—uniquely, prophetically, redemptively, and repeatedly in the Bible—“This is Mine.” God refers to Israel as He does to no other land on Earth. Israel was raised up to be a light to the Gentiles. The Church at its inception was virtually entirely Jewish, and it remained so until the Gospel began to spread. Ultimately the Gospel spread to Antioch—where the first Gentile congregation began—the base from which the Gospel spread into all the world. In the book of Romans, chapters 9 through 11, the Apostle Paul deals with the question of the Jews in God’s providence and purpose. These three chapters virtually stand alone, within the whole of the Bible, as an elaboration of the theology of God’s dealing with Jews. The Jews were the “firstfruit”…the “first people” (through Abraham) to understand a covenant God. They then relayed the riches of that truth to the world, and through their agency, the Messiah came into the world.
