Newt Gingrich And Middle East Truth By Ronn Torossian By: Ronn Torossian | -
On Saturday night, during a televised debate, Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich said, Its fundamentally time for somebody to have the guts to stand up and say, Enough lying about the Middle East. He went on to call the Israeli-Palestinian peace process delusional. Kudos to Newt Gingrich for standing up and telling the truth!
Unfortunately, Gingrich is being attacked for these statements. The Jewish community and all true people of peace sho ... Tags:Ronn Torossian
Growing up, until the age of bar-mitzvah or so, I had little interest in Israel or in being Jewish. Despite my mothers stories and intense desire to excite me about Zionism and Judaism it just didnt interest me; nothing captured my attention. Attending public school in the Bronx, only sports occupied my mind. The only visibly Jewish kids I saw playing sp ... Tags:Ronn Torossian
Public Relations & Personal Reflections From Israel By Ronn Torossian By: Ronn Torossian | -
Whenever I visit Israel, I feel a new perspective on life, values, Judaism and the world. Some random inspirations from a recent visit:
The Israeli economy seems to be flourishing, with VC and private equity funding everywhere. A friend of mine is a serious entrepreneur in his mid-30s. After he saw the Facebook movie, The Social Network, he took two months off to travel Europe and the Far East. Intent on starting new technology companies, to cash in on the next digital wave, m ...

Methods Of Deception - The Radicals Of The Left And The Radicals Of Islam By: Howard Jacobs | - People on the left have often appeared to excuse Muslim acts of terror saying things such as "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter." At the same time, the left has seemingly become more anti-Israel and anti-American. It seems as if it is a contradiction that people on the left, who supposedly have gay rights, women's rights, and separation of church and state as their core values, would so often side with a group that goes against all these main principles.
Not a week passes by that I am not asked to join the latest and greatest significant meeting about a brewing Public Relations crisis for Israel or the Jewish community. Whether its the soon to be flotilla, anti-Semitic cartoons relating to circumcision, media bias, or an opponent of Israel who has received prominent positive media coverage. From leading Israeli government ministers, to major American Jewish organizations, to wealthy well known Jewish Pro-Israel philanthro ... Tags:Ronn Torossian

Mike Huckabee's Pro-slavery Agenda By: Stan Moody | - On January 30, Mike Huckabee will make his 13th pilgrimage to Israel - in the genre of the Southern Baptist Convention, the Promised Land. Thirteen trips, and he still has no clue.
Mike Huckabee is and likely will always be a Christian Zionist because "it says so right here," here being God's promise to the Patriarch Abraham, as though there has been nothing said since.
The Importance Of Kippah By: Jenny Birkin | - A kippah, also known as Kipa is possibly the most identifiable mark of a Jewish person. Sometimes Kippah is also worn by the Jewish women of the reform and conservative communities during the prayer. The fabric and the color of Kippah prove to be a sign of devotion to a specific Jewish religious movement. Wearing Kippah is also a sign of respect. As said by the Jewish law, a man must cover his head while praying, or remembering the God's name, or narrating Torah in any synagogue.
Tel Aviv Travel Guide By: Tel Aviv | - Tel Aviv is a rapidly growing City in the midst of an arousing transition from medium-sized urbanized center to active International Metropolis. It is the City that several Israelis think of as their New York. Although the comparability was once a stretch and so Tel Aviv is however a fraction of New York's size. Tel Aviv's blasting population, edginess, energy and 24-hour life provide the city a general flair corresponding too few other Cities in this part of the World.
Stress And World Politics By: DR.KASHALIKAR | - World politics ought to be; the expression of cosmic consciousness; through people with the perspective of individual and global blossoming; interacting heart to heart and evolving and crystallizing the pragmatic aspects of policies, plans, programs and their implementation (i.e. Total Stress Management, the core of which is NAMAMSRAN)!
At present also this is happening, but in a rather imperfect, immature, inaccurate, insufficient, inadequate and ineffective manner. Primarily, this ... Tags:dr.kashalikar, namasmaran, superliving, holistic health, stress

The fact of the matter is, there are so many places to see and most of them are extraordinary. Therefore, you can schedule to see the ones you think you will enjoy and on your next trip, you can fit more into your schedule.
The Regression Of Secular Progression By: Moshe Sharon | - As a Jew, I find it both fascinating and alarming to watch the political/philosophical/moral debate raging in this country between the leftist secular progressives and right wing Christian fundamentalists. As most of us know, the secularists, who claim to be atheists, want all references to the Divine stricken from all public documents and monuments. As well, they want all public utterances in all forums to be devoid of any mention of spiritual matters. While they are rallying under the constitu ...

Palestinians - All Just A Big Lie? By: Eli Hertz | - The Palestinians claim that they are an ancient and indigenous people fails to stand up to historic scrutiny. Most Palestinian Arabs were newcomers to British Mandate Palestine. Until the 1967 Six-Day War made it expedient for Arabs to create a Palestinian peoplehood, local Arabs simply considered themselves part of the 'great Arab nation' or 'southern Syrians.'
World Leaders Ignore International Law By: Eli Hertz | - Ban Ki-moon, Condoleezza Rice, and Javier Solana became victims to the 'Occupation' mantra their own organization has repeated over and over in their propaganda campaign to legitimize the Arab position.
The "Road Map" vision, as well as continuous pressure from the "Quartet" (U.S., the European Union, the UN and Russia) to surrender parts of the Land of Israel are contrary to international law that firmly call to "encourage ... close settlement by Jews on the land, including State ...

Book Review: "churchill & The Jews" By: C. Read | - Martin Gilbert is a historical writing phenomenon; a historian without peer in many areas; and an intellectual giant in Churchilliana. Again he has produced another valuable niche product in the vast compendium of Churchill related works, this one centred on Churchills 70-year relationship with Jews, Zionism and post 1947 Israel. Even if you are not found of Churchill, the book should be read by those who desire to know more about the Middle East, the current Israeli-Arab struggle, and w ...

Churchill And Palestine By: C. Read | - As with most issues Churchill was a contrarian thinker when it came to the Jewish Question, and the creation of a Zionist State. For 40 years, in the face of media and political criticism, Churchill consistently advocated the necessity of forming in Palestine, a Jewish State, and resisted all varieties of appeasement to Arab demands and violence. It is not an exaggeration to state that Churchill's views and political skills and cunning led the way to Anglo-British support of M ...

Zionism Is Not Fascism, But Could Be By: Obadiah Shoher | - The United States and Britain did not support Israel in the 1948 War of Independence. The Soviet Union did, for a reason. Stalin remembered the huge role Russian Jews played in establishing the Soviet regime, and was sure they would build a socialist state in the Middle East.
The Exile made the Jews afraid of the mob; they long for stronger state. Jews are smart and opinionated, and many want the power. Monarchies reserve the first roles for hereditary rulers. Democracies do not e ... Tags:
A Confrontational Conversation By: eileen fleming | - "Father Paul, you cannot possibly be telling me that an Episcopal priest has been taken in by fundamentalist theology?" Terese incredulously asked the new Assistant to the Rector at St. Mary's Episcopal Church in Orlando who also served at the noon mass every Wednesday.
Father Paul Hendricks was a passionate evangelist on a mission to convert every Jew he encountered to become a Christian. Terese had kept her silence for the first six months she had been listening to his Wednesday ... Tags:Christian Zionism, ethics, morality, Israel, Palestine, Holy Land, cults, fundamentalism

Dr. Ilan Pappe, is Israeli born and a graduate of Hebrew University and Oxford who is currently teaching at Haifa University. He is a well known revisionist or "post-Zionist" Israeli historian who has been both acclaimed and demonized.

Walls Will Fall When Minds Are Liberated By: eileen fleming | - On the fourth day of Sabeel's 6th International Conference: The Forgotten Faithful, who are the Palestinian Christians, Dr. Khalil Nakhleh received one of the loudest and most prolonged thunders of applause from over 330 International ecumenical Christians for his passionate disertation.
Dr. Nakhleh spoke to us in Ramallah and he is a Palestinian socio-economic anthropologist and Team Leader of Mu'assasat, which is devoted to strengthening human rights and good governance in the O ... Tags:Israel, Palestine, occupation, international law, human rights, liberation
My Sermon On The Mount By: eileen fleming | - On March 20, 2006, I bid goodbye to the sixty ecumenical Christian Internationals I had been traveling throughout the West Bank with to spend two nights on the Mount of Beatitudes in Israel. This awe inspiring site sits above the shimmering Sea of the Galilee where Christ preached the Sermon on the Mount. After the nine day Sabeel Reality Tour in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, I needed to be alone and silent. But, I ended up delivering my own Sermon on the Mount.
Prophets And Peaceniks By: eileen fleming | - On March 22, 2006 I was back in Jerusalem and once again visited with Jeff Halper, a 2006 Noble Peace Prize nominee in his ICAHD office. Jeff is an American Israeli and the Founder and Coordinator of ICAHD/Israeli Committee on House Demolitions.
I sought his advice that day after reading his new book "Obstacles to Peace: A Reframing of the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict."
Birth Pangs Of A Third Awakening By: eileen fleming | - After Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez's recent remarks at the U.N., during which he referred to President Bush as "the devil," and then held up and recommended Noam Chomsky's, "Hegemony or Survival: America's Quest for Global Dominance" he told reporters, "The people of the United States should read this ... instead of the watching Superman movies."

Prelude To War. Part Iv By: Kerry Plowright | - Australia is surrounded by the greatest Muslim population on the planet. This includes Indonesia's 180 million and other countries like Malaysia. Should we be worried about that?
The Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi on a recent visit to Tehran stated his country was a friend of Iran. At the same time Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad criticized the bullying and monopolistic spirit in the world. He said desecration of sanctities and values and disrespect for the ...

The Cult Of The Anti-christ By: eileen fleming | - "The age of warrior kings and of warrior presidents has passed. The nuclear age calls for a different kind of leadership....a leadership of intellect, judgment, tolerance and rationality, a leadership committed to human values, to world peace, and to the improvement of the human condition. The attributes upon which we must draw are the human attributes of compassion and common sense, of intellect and creative imagination, and of empathy and understanding between cultures." - William Fulbright Tags:Christian, Zionism, Anti-Christ, Armageddon, Justice, human rights, Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, endt
The West Should Step Out Of The United Nations By: Robert Maegh | - In 1945, after World War II, after the Holocaust, at a moment of extreme moral quality, the U.N. was founded. The alliance, based on shared principles, grew out of a military alliance with the aim to combat aggressors and defend human rights. At that moment, Democratic States had a considerable majority.
At the moment however, dictatorships and third world countries have a large majority in the Council and the Western Democracies are constantly are voted down. Consequently, many resoluti ...
