Iron Dome Intercepts More Than 10 Rockets at Once

Watch: Iron Dome Intercepts More Than 10 Rockets at Once

A video showing Iron Dome rockets fanning out to intercept multiple enemy rockets has gone contagiously viral worldwide.

The video appears to have been shot at a military checkpoint of some sort – possibly the Kerem Shalom crossing into Gaza. The white-smoke remains of at least 10 bursts that usually indicate an interception can be identified in the sky.

It has been viewed by more than 780,000 people in just one day since being uploaded to Youtube.

Hollywood Champions of Israel

Not everyone in Hollywood is embarrassing themselves by supporting Hamas…

“Consider the case of Jon Voight.

The celebrated Oscar-winning actor is an outspoken champion of Israel. Earlier this month, Voight published an open letter to Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem in Variety where he harshly criticized the Spanish performers for their public statement condemning Israel and siding with Hamas in its war against the Jewish state.

In his words, “I am heartsick that people like Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem could incite anti-Semitism all over the world and are oblivious to the damage they have caused.”

Voight was viciously attacked for speaking out.”

A long list of Hollywood heavyweights have put their names to a letter slamming Hamas over the “devastating loss of life endured by Israelis and Palestinians in Gaza.

The reported 187 signatories, who include Mayim Bialik, Minnie Driver, Kelsey Grammer, Seth Rogen, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sarah Silverman, and Sylvester Stallone, condemn the “ideologies of hatred and genocide which are reflected in Hamas’ charter, Article 7 of which reads, ‘There is a Jew hiding behind me, come on and kill him!’

Time Magazine Accuses Israel of Stealing Palestinian Organs

 

UPDATE: Within hours of Honest Reporting’s publication of this article, Time Magazine removed the allegation that Israeli soldiers had stolen Palestinian organs from their video. Further coverage atTimes of Israel.

 

Time Magazine Accuses IDF of Stealing Palestinian Organs

Time Magazine should be ashamed for giving new life to a horrendous blood libel accusing the IDF of stealing Palestinian organs.

In the middle of a video about the Israeli military, we are told that the “IDF is not without controversy.”

Their example?

….in 2009 a Swedish report came out exposing some Israeli troops of selling organs of Palestinians who died in their custody.
(Around the 1:15 mark of the video.)

The reference is to a completely made up tabloid style article in an obscure Swedish paper, that even the author admitted was not based on any evidence. . .

Understanding the Israeli-Egyptian-Saudi alliance

The following important article by Caroline Glick explains the partnership between Israel, Egypt and Saudi Arabia that has recently emerged due to the abandonment of the US’s traditional allies (thanks to President Obama).

Understanding the Israeli-Egyptian-Saudi alliance
by Caroline Glick

Hamas’s war with Israel is not a stand-alone event. It is happening in the context of the vast changes that are casting asunder old patterns of behavior and strategic understandings as actors in the region begin to reassess the threats they face.

Hamas was once funded by Saudi Arabia and enabled by Egypt. Now the regimes of these countries view it as part of a larger axis of Sunni jihad that threatens not only Israel, but them…

Canada: Ontario University Students Join Boycott Against Israel

The Ontario branch of the Canadian Federation of Students unanimously passes a motion to boycott Israel.

The Ontario branch of the Canadian Federation of Students, representing more than 300,000 university students in the province, has unanimously passed a motion to boycott Israel, The Canadian Press reported on Thursday.

Executive member Anna Goldfinch said the motion to join the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (or BDS) Movement received no opposition at its annual general meeting last weekend.

According to The Canadian Press, Goldfinch said that the resolution – put forward by student union of the Ryerson University in Toronto – “endorses a number of solidarity tactics that have been called for by Palestinian civil society.”

We Will Not Be Silent!

March draws over 4,000
Rain does not deter Toronto Jewish community from rally protesting upswing of global anti-Semitism

TORONTO — Despite gloomy, overcast skies that eventually turned into a downpour, more than 4,000 Jewish Torontonians, and a healthy contingent of Christians and other non-Jews, were lead by Holocaust survivors in a march up the city’s largely Jewish Bathurst street on Wednesday. The August 20 event was launched in the face of a global resurgence of anti-Semitism cloaked in the guise of anti-Zionism, say organizers.

The protest, called “We Will Not Be Silent!,” was a community march against anti-Semitism and the demonization of the Jewish State and organized by UJA Federation of Greater Toronto, its advocacy arm, the Centre for Jewish and Israel Affairs (CIJA), and a coalition of community organizations. . .

FACISM IN CANADA

Canadian Friends of Sabeel or Enemies of Israel? (UPDATED)

There are many reasons why the upcoming Friends of Sabeel conference in Canada requires a word of caution. Originally scheduled for this October, it has been postponed till next spring. This gives those who are considering registering more time to think about the following questions.

1) What is Sabeel?

“Sabeel Ecumenical Liberation Theology Center, headquartered in Jerusalem, has been a persistent source of anti-Zionist agitation in mainline Protestant churches in the United States since its founding in 1994. The organization subjects Israel, Jews, and Judaism to intense scrutiny while remaining nearly silent about Arab and Muslim extremism in the Middle East. In addition to publicizing the writings of its founder, Anglican priest Naim Ateek, Sabeel broadcasts its message via regional conferences in the United States and regular study missions to Israel. Far-Left American and Israeli Jews are given prominent display at Sabeel conferences, where Israel is held up to a strict biblical standard of conduct while its adversaries are held to no standard at all. By giving its followers the sense that they are engaging in a showdown with the forces of evil embodied by Israel and its U.S supporters, Sabeel reenacts the church-synagogue rivalry documented in early Christian writings.”

– jcpa.org [1]

Paul Wilkinson, who attended the Sabeel conference in 2004, said:

“…the Lord prompted me so clearly to go out to Israel for the very first time and witness this movement called Sabeel, and see all these evangelical leaders assembling in Jerusalem, basically, to condemn Israel, to condemn the United States for supporting Israel, and to condemn all Christians for supporting Israel based on a literal interpretation of the Word of God, and that’s where I met men like Stephen Sizer, Gary Burge, Donald Wagner—leading evangelicals within the Anglican and Presbyterian churches who, as I mentioned in a previous program, lined up with Yasser Arafat and gave him their support and their endorsement, and that shows you the power of this movement I’ve termed, “Christian Palestinianism,” that Yasser Arafat would want to meet with this group involved with the Sabeel conference.”
 [2]

Friends of Sabeel are those who partner and work with Sabeel Ecumenical Liberation Theology Center and what is described by many as an anti-Israel agenda. They have chapters in the US, Canada, the UK and Australia.

2) Who are the speakers?

Well known speakers at the upcoming Friends of Sabeel Conference in Canada include Dr. Naim Ateek, Gary Burge, Donald Wagner (all mentioned above). Another less well known speaker is Ron Dart, a professor at the university where the conference is to be held. Dart, who is a board member of the Thomas Merton Society of Canada, appears to be on the same page as emerging church leaders Brian McLaren and Phylis Tickle[3]. A colleague of screen writer Kevin Miller, Dart has also appeared on his film ‘Hellbound'[4], the controversial documentary that questioned the traditional view of a literal hell. Dart is a main voice opposing the Conservative Party of Steven Harper, the pro-Israel prime minister of Canada. Also listed for the Canadian Friends of Sabeel conference is a potential workshop led by musician Steve Bell, associate of Brian McLaren. Not only have these two partnered in a contemplative music project[5], in 2011 Brian McLaren and Steve Bell were special guests at the ‘Refreshing Winds’ conference at Canadian Mennonite University[6]. McLaren recently spoke at The Friends of Sabeel North America (FOSNA) regional conference that took place this April in Portland, Oregon[7], where he reframed and mocked important scripture passages to fit his interpretations. There will be many other speakers at this conference, but attendees might want to research them before subjecting themselves to their teachings (info below). For example, another speaker listed is director for the United Church of Canada’s Naramata Centre[8]. Not only is this centre completely immersed in contemplative and New Age spirituality, the United Church of Canada has recently adopted an anti-Israel bias[9]. Two years ago they voted to boycott Israeli products[10].

3) What are the issues that will be discussed at this conference?

Some of the main issues that will be discussed from a non-literal view of Bible interpretation will be Christian Zionism[11], Replacement Theology[12] and the Israeli “occupation of Palestine”[13]. Those attending may not be hearing the biblical view of these topics.

4) What about the advertisement for this conference that says: “We are called to challenge the false teaching that undermines the biblical message”?

As you can see, the voices representing Christianity at these Friends of Sabeel conferences appear to be on the same page and claim to have the ‘true’ teaching. However, they are not on the ‘literal’ Bible page. Many of them seem to be opposed to the truth taught in scripture about Israel and may be presenting their own interpretations. These are views held by emerging church leaders, as well as by those who are part of the anti-Israel campaign. Also interesting is how the element of contemplative spirituality is going to be strongly represented at this conference. Fortunately, because it has been postponed, those who wish to be a brave representative of truth for Israel now have more time to research and study before attending this conference[14].

I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence Isaiah 62:6

University of the Fraser Valley
Abbotsford, B.C.

Why Bless Israel?

Facing the New Jerusalem: Face to Face with Christian Zionism

Why This Conference
Because even as he turned his face to Jerusalem (Luke 9:51), the followers of Jesus today must confront the hard realities of pain and suffering in the land of promise. Because many Christians and churches, with many Muslims and Jews, are committed to peace, justice and reconciliation with alternatives to Christian Zionism and Replacement Theology. Because our Palestinian Christian sisters and brothers have called us to hear their cry for reconciliation by better understanding our own faith. Because we are called to challenge the false teaching that undermines the biblical message of love, mercy, and justice present in the insidious form of Christian Zionism pervasive in our own traditions that remains silent in the face of the Israeli occupation of Palestine.

Conference Mission Statement
We aim to empower the many Christians and their churches, with many Muslims and Jews, who are committed to peace, justice and reconciliation in Palestine and Israel, with alternatives to Christian Zionism and Replacement Theology. We are called to challenge the false teaching that undermines the biblical message of love, mercy, and justice, present in the insidious form of Christian Zionism, often pervasive in our own traditions, and that remains silent in the face of the Israeli occupation of Palestine.

Who Should Attend?
• Christians, Muslims and Jews who want to learn from and engage with Palestinian Christianity.
• Leaders locally and nationally of Christian denominations
• Members of churches’ outreach units and service committees
• Faculty and students from theological colleges and seminaries
• Leaders of ecumenical networks

Objectives of this Conference
1. To educate participants on the history and theology of Christian Zionism in Canada and the U.S. and on how its manifestations represent a barrier to peace in the Middle East.
2. To empower denominational leaders with a deeper understanding of active and passive Christian Zionism so that they can educate their members on this aspect of engaging their faith with integrity.
3. To galvanize church-related organizations, faith-based groups and civil society groups who are working in solidarity with the churches and who affirm the role of the churches in challenging spurious charges of anti-semitism and being anti-Jewish .
4. To equip churches, seminaries and teaching centres with updated scholarship and information on the churches’ stand on Christian Zionism.
5. To support Christians in Canada with the knowledge, resources and confidence to participate more actively and effectively in the wider public discourse regarding Canada’s role in Israel Palestine and foreign policy in the Middle East.
To spread the word through the anticipated 200 participants including students, and by providing online access to proceedings during and after the Conference.

Christians and Modern Israel

Christians and Modern Israel: Theologically complicated? Maybe. Ethically? Not so much
by Calvin Smith

Once again conflict in the Middle East raises that perennial question: How should Christians view and respond to the modern State of Israel? Debate focuses on several issues Western Christianity has traditionally grappled with, for example, the sanctity of life, when is war justified, theodicy (why God allows suffering), and what did Christ mean when He taught, “Blessed are the peacemakers”.

Yet that same Christ, or Messiah (“Christ” is derived from the Greek for “Messiah”, Hebrew “Mashiach”) was Jewish, from a nation God called His own. And one day this Jewish Messiah will return, not like before, as a lamb led meekly to His death, but as Conquering King, a Davidic King. This and their theological view that God retains a plan for the Jewish people likewise shape how some Christians view today’s Jewish state. Add to that a long, shameful history of the Church’s maltreatment of the Jews and brutal anti-Semitism and it becomes clear that Christians need to get this issue right. . .

There Is No Israeli Siege On Gaza

From Zionism to Palestinianism

“For at least the last 100 years, Christian Zionists have been the one arm of the Evangelical church that maintained a very friendly, positive attitude towards Israel and the Jewish people. Most Israeli Prime Ministers since 1948, have recognized the friends they had within Christian Zionist circles.
Unfortunately, the tide is changing. . .
. . . This changing tide is known as “Christian Palestinianism” and will turn into a tsunami if nothing gets done. It has already swept a large number of Evangelicals into questioning, disliking AND rejecting any kind of Zionism. Christian Palestinianism is Christian anti-Zionism, and as such it must be confronted.”

Israel’s Disproportionate Decency

Israel’s Disproportionate Decency

When observers describe or denounce Israeli military actions as “disproportionate,” they glibly assume sweeping legal conclusions without sufficient proof or analysis. But the evidence shows that Israel has acted with disproportionate decency while Hamas has committed war crimes.

Hamas’ indiscriminate rocket and missile attacks – which now total about 3,500 in the last month – target primarily Israeli civilians. The effects of Hamas’ attacks have been serious (contrary to what most media reports suggest):

The Realities of Israel and Media Bias

6 Videos That Show the Truth About the War in Gaza
by P. David Hornik

In the Gaza war, now probably winding down, when you’re not hearing that Israel is supposedly attacking a school [1] you’re hearing that it’s supposedly attacking a hospital. What’s going on? Is Israel really a monstrously aggressive country?

Seemingly hospitals, of all institutions, should be immune from war. Hospitals are the only place where some of the harms of war, physical harms caused to individual human beings, can be remedied. Hospitals are for healing, not combat.

So what’s happening? Why do hospitals seem to be part of the fighting? A look at some recent, and less recent, scenarios from this conflict will help give an answer. . .

Israel’s Priorities vs Hamas’s Priorities

Israel places a high priority on protecting its civilian population. It has devoted enormous effort and expense to build missile defense systems, bomb shelters, and rapid evacuation systems.
In contrast, Hamas has placed its civilian population in harm’s way while protecting its terrorists. There are no bomb shelters for the Gaza population, civilians are dependent on using the facilities of UNRWA. In contrast, Hamas terrorists are operating out of hidden, concrete reinforced tunnels. So Hamas is more concerned with protecting its fighters than its civilians.

Israel is based on a creed of life

“I support Israel primarily because it is not only a democratic and free government in that region where there is a lack of that but Israel is based on a creed of life – life before death” . . . “they are facing enemies that want to annihilate not only Israel but eliminate all Jews. And the enemies of Israel believe in a creed of death. For them, life is transitional. And so the life of their own children, the life of their own mother and wives, the life of their fellow civilians – it doesn’t matter that much because they are looking forward to death so that after death something wonderful is going to happen. And people don’t see this basic difference. It is so important to see this. If you don’t see that, then you don’t understand the conflict. I vote for life, so I vote for Israel.”

More Media Proof that Israel is Right

Media Uncovers Hamas Launch Sites in Populated Areas

Since the start of Operation Protective Edge, Israeli officials have insisted that Hamas was firing rockets from densely populated areas. Even after a month of fighting, scant evidence emerged from the mainstream media.

But now, media sources are emerging with video proof that Hams is, indeed, deliberately putting Palestinian civilians at risk in its offensive against Israel.

NDTV, an Indian broadcaster, ran footage shot mostly out of a hotel window in a populated area of Gaza showing a rocket launcher being assembled and ultimately fired at Israel. . .

Israel might have won; Hamas certainly lost
Op-ed: 10 thoughts at the end (maybe) of the summer 2014 Israel-Hamas war
BY DAVID HOROVITZ August 6, 2014

Ten thoughts at the (possible) end of the Israel-Hamas war

1. Hamas lost. Whether or not Israel “won” — by which I mean attaining the “sustained calm” for its people that was the limited goal of the war — will be determined by the negotiations now taking place in Cairo, or the failure of those negotiations. But Hamas certainly lost. Three weeks ago, with its rocket capacity largely intact, its fighting forces completely intact, the tunnel network it had spent seven years building intact, and most of the Gaza it claims to represent intact, it rejected an unconditional ceasefire which Israel accepted and instead issued a long list of arrogant preconditions.

On Tuesday, with most of its rockets used to relatively little effect, hundreds of its gunmen dead, 32 of its major tunnels smashed, and Gaza devastated, its “military wing” in Gaza overruled its fat-cat political chief Khaled Mashaal in his Qatar hotel, waved a metaphorical white flag, and pleaded for the very same unconditional ceasefire. . .

Iron Dome Operator: God Moved Missile We Couldn’t Hit

Israel’s Iron Dome anti-missile system has been wildly successful during the current Gaza war, but on occasion it can and does miss incoming terrorist rockets.

One would think that the 10 percent or so of Hamas rockets predicted by Iron Dome’s radars to hit populated areas that are not intercepted would still cause significant Israeli casualties. But somehow, they don’t. . .
