Israel's Historic Achievement

Posted May 16, 2008

Israel is in a long-term struggle for its security in a region with virtually no margin for error. But President Bush, in his speech last week to the Knesset, gave the members comfort when he said, "Israel's population may be just over 7 million. But when you confront terror and evil, you are 307 million strong, because the United States of America stands with you."

The Arab armies helped stop the 1948 cleansing

With all the anger about Holocaust denial surprised it should still be socially acceptable to deny the Palestine cleansing. Then to blame the Arab "invading armies" for preventing even more cleansing. Had the Zionists cleansed the rest of Jeruselum and the rest of Palestine then presumably we wouldn't have these problems today. Since the 1948 Zionists didn't "finish the job."

What a disgrace

Mort, if it is always been your "home" why don't you go back and spare us the regular drivel?

Israel's Historic Achievement

Thank you for this succinct editorial. The evidence is clear, and increasingly more historical data proves the legitimacy of Israel's ancient roots and unending rights to her land.If only the rest of the world would look into the astounding prophecies given throughout Hebrew Scriptures, and in some Christian Scriptures, concerning that which has happened, is happening, and will happen to this special people - and what will happen to those who deny or curse her.

Israel, for all she has suffered, would have been a mere past entity had it not been for the divine hand upon her. Why do the heathen rage, and the nations imagine their empty schemes against her? The Holy One laughs, but when His anger is stirred,

... then they will know His supreme love for Israel.(Psalm 2)

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. We say that and pray that with desire for "the apple of His eye" to at last have the secured promise of her inheritance. Then the world will know peace. It shall be, none can prevent it, all should desire it.
