1. JERUSALEM !!!.
ORAO STRANKA. ,   TSARIGRAD U SRBIA.   (08.21.09)
ISRAEL Jerusalem The Hinge Pin Rev Heather Butler Revivalist/Psalmist Hidden Treasures Ministries Intl Jerusalem is the Hinge Pin, and belongs to the Lord, Israel does not belong to another! woe to those who divide Jerusalem , who cry out for division. Their own governments will be filled with unrest and heads will fall. Go back, go back to the book of Psalms look again, remind yourselves of my covenants. Psalm 111 and Deut 10:12 Psalm 96 :9 He has given food and provision to those who reverently and worshipfully fear Him, He will remember His covenant forever and imprint it on His mind. He has declared and shown to His people the power of His works in giving them the heritage of the nations of Canaan. The works of His hands are absolute truth and justice faithful and right, and all His decrees and precepts are sure, fixed and established and trustworthy. They stand fast and are established for ever and ever and are done in absolute faith and uprightness. The reverent fear and worship of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and skill. These are not just words written in a book, these are commands and promises that will not be broken. They are active words that have brought life and fruitfulness to those who lived them out, but destruction to those who defied them reducing the fruitful place once again to a barren wasteland. A prophet of truth is being prepared for Israel who will speak with a voice unshaken and unmoved by leaders of nations, a prophet who will dare to speak as Elijah did, who leads Israel into repentance and out of bondage away from ways that were not Godly. Israel the lord calls you back and draws you to himself once again. The Messiah will come as a warrior king, fierce in His love of you. You have gone your own way and left the pathway of truth, turn back to the ancient foundations that were laid before the beginning and established and rooted for all time. Turn to the Lord in this hour and He will turn to you. You Rabbis and Teachers of the law prepare yourselves for the drawing back of the veil. Israel is not shamed, rather Israel has learned much about the enemy that terrorizes and intimidates. The one true G-d calls you, those already chosen by Him for victory. This is not a time of defeat, but a time to recognise what it will take to defeat the enemies of Israel In the future Call upon the Lord whilst He will be found. This is key to you, call upon His name, call out to the one bruised for your transgressions the Messiah the One true G-d. He will thunder from the heavens and come to your aid. Your stones are ever before Him, crying at the wall, He will deliver you. Orao.
2. Palestinian obligations: stop terror and incitement...
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (08.21.09)
...have NEVER been met. The palestinian leaders, be they from Hamas or PA have never fought terror - rather encouraged and FINANCED it! They've never abolished the incitement against Israel and the Jews in Schools, Mosques and media - rather they encouraged and FINANCED it. Israel has made ENOUGH "first steps" and honored too many of its so called "obligations" already, only to be met with more terror and incitement from the Palestinian side. Now it is time to REVERSE the situation. Let the Palestinian do a few trust-building steps. Let's see how they fight terror emanating form their society. Let's see how they CHANGE their schools and universities books and syllabus and stop the incitement against Jews and Israel. Let's see how they forbid racism, hatred and incitement against Jews and Israel in their Mosques! Only after they do this for a reasonable period and we FEEL and SEE REAL changes, we will GRADUALLY meet our "obligations" again. Israel has made enough "first steps". Now it is time Palestinians do the same!

4. Not an Inch of the Land of Israel can be given away!
Ron B. ,   Lod   (08.21.09)
Jewish Pioneers are building, defending, sawing, planting & harvesting the ancient Land of their ancestors. Despite Arab terrorist attacks, harassment by Israeli government’s police & international pressure, these Patriots do not retreat! Violent Arab nationalism & radical Islam can not be appeased by stealing Jewish Land at the expense of international security. Despite misguided political schemes, people have been learning that giving in to violent radical forces will bring more 9/11s, Madrid, Bali, Beslan, London & Mumbai bombings & hostage-takings.

5. Stop/Remove settlements or face 1 STATE solution
Nour ,   Palestine   (08.21.09)
6. Israel was never a country, but rather the name is a people
palestinian ,   dc   (08.21.09)
Isra-el is and always has been the name of a people, not a country. There was never a country known as israel before 1948. Abraham, Isaac, and Jaccob (the so-called jewish fathers) all came from southern iraq, NOT palestine! Jews have no legal claim to palestine.
7. When will Israel learn?
Tony ,   abuja, nigeria   (08.21.09)
The question that has often come to my mind is Will Israel ever learnt its lesson? Israel was pressured by the US, EU, and UN to quit Southern Lebanon, only for Hezbolah to takeover. while they are silent. They mounted pressure over Gaza, and Israel pulled out of Gaza brutalising fellow Israelites in the name of peace, only for Hamas to takeover, while they are silent. Hezbolah and Hamas has become a thorn in the flesh of Israel. The rockets are not hitting the EU, US and UN, it is Israel that is bearing the brunt today. They are at it again mounting pressure on Israel to quit Judea, Samaria and East Jerusalem their historical ancestral heritage in the name of peace. But will Israel quitting Judea, Samaria and East Jerusalem bring peace? no, neither! Israel will be indirectly destroying itself without knowing. Quiting Judea, Samaria and East Jerusalem, will give rise to a strong and powerful Fatah that will unleash terror on Israel, like the Hamas and Hezbolah. The Israeli media has neither helped issues too. Historical facts and truths that could help Israel in the comity of nations are deliberately ignored for sentiments. Selling their birthright? They are damaging Israel. By the way, who are the settlers? Israel? Kings David, Solomon (infact built a temple in the land - Jerusalem), Rehoboam, Abijah, Abijam, Asa, Jehosaphat, Hezekiah, Josiah, etc. These all lived and reigned as kings and died and buried in the land some 3000 years ago. Nay, it is the Palestinians that are the strangers and not the Israelites. Israel, learn your lesson, and beware.
8. #6 - God promised the Israelites
Eyal ,   Highland Beach, USA   (08.21.09)
The Land of Milk and Honey, in which he gave...sorry. Unfortunately, the Palestinians are nomads, not the Jews. Remember King David? He wiped every living Philistine (woman, man and child). It is written in the Bible, the Torah, The Koran. So the Palestinians of today are not Palestinians at all. They are nomads from Iraq, Syria, Persia. You get it now?
9. There are few good long term options for Israel
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, USA   (08.21.09)
A 2 state solution is bad for settlers and zionist ideals but is what most the world wants. A 1 state solution will destroy Israel if the non-Jews remain. If one state that is all Jewish then how to get rid of all the non-Jews? The current way of slow taking the land and pushing Arabs in to smaller areas is working but US/UN is trying to stop it. By making their lives so hard that they will leave is not working in Gaza. Maybe it time to just force them all out maybe into Jordan or Egypt. Maybe 40 years in the Sinai desert would help them. The question is what would the world do or more importantly the US.
10. #7 When will the OGONI be free??
Nour ,   Palestine   (08.21.09)
When will the Ogoni and Ibo oppressed people be free? When will you people quit buildling the world's largest churches and start providing power and infrastructure for your people? When will you quit meddling in Palestinian and Middle Eastern affairs? Your corrupt government and disgusting track record of "Giant of Africa" (More like Dumpster of Africa) leave MUCH to be desired. Palestine and Palestinians will be free, because we refuse colonization and subjugation, unlike you Nigerians who privately accept subhuman status and believe me i KNOW what I'm talking about as i've been to your sad joke of a county.
11. Obama is quickly losing respect in the US&all over the world
He's being seen as ,   the Joker he is!!!!!   (08.22.09)
12. To Nour#10. MUST Be An Atheist.
Maansingh ,   The Netherlands   (08.22.09)
You say :” When will you people (i.e. Nigerians) quit building the world's largest churches ..” The above sentence of yours reveals that you MUST be an atheist. Atheist means they have NO respect for God. And when respect for God is lacking -- respect for human beings, including himself, MUST be lacking. Nour, give yourself some serious time to ponder about the above. BTW when atheists talk about God and about HIS servants like Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob -- the words of atheists are of NO value whatsoever. Why NO value ? Because they lack the spirit needed to be able to speak properly, correctly, inspiringly about God and HIS servants.
