Righteous Chutzpah at JFK!
Saudi Airlines No Jews

It was only 73 years ago that my Jewish mother was asked to wear a yellow star on her clothes and was forced to stand in the last car of the Paris Metro train with the other "Jews".

It was about 50 years ago when African-Americans were forced to sit at the back of the bus, drink at "colored people" water fountains or use different entrances to public places.

Thank God that we live in the "wonderful" post-modern age of tolerance when human beings are all equal under God or "mother nature" (I can't leave out atheists lest I am accused of the same crime I am about to expose). For me, it is clear that our equality (under God) is a given and should dictate our behavior as we interact with others regardless of race, creed, sex and/or origins.

So we are all equals, right? Absolutely! Read More

Is There Another Holocaust Coming?
Pleading with Israel

I am always extremely hesitant to use the term "Holocaust" to describe anything other than the events that took place in Nazi-occupied Europe in the 1940s. The gruesome horror of the Shoah (Hebrew word for the Holocaust meaning "the Catastrophe"), places it in a league of its own in the annals of human depravity and ethnic cleansing. This is of course not meant in any way to minimize any other genocide, but simply to recognize the unique place held by the Holocaust.

This catastrophe could be summarized as "the systematic attempt at the complete destruction of European Jewry" and even though the words "Shoah" and "Holocaust" have become somewhat taboo within most civilized circles, various components from the events that these two words describe remain a threat to my people worldwide.

The New WMD against Israel: Worldwide Media Distortion!
breaking news : mass media untruth
There is a saying usually attributed to Benjamin Franklin that goes like this: "Nothing is certain except for death and taxes."  To this motto we could add "war" because as long as men exist, they will always exercise their "self-attributed rights" to wage war against each other. Reasons abound for the annihilation of our neighbors, not that any of these reasons would necessarily be justifiable, at least ethically!
 
Just like everything else in the world, war has morphed over the centuries and actually has dramatically evolved since the end of World War II in 1945. The obvious change in war is the use of weapons that are increasingly becoming more refined and precise. Long gone are the days of bayonets, horses, and trenches. War has evolved and continues to evolve alongside technology. The most sophisticated missiles can now find a target buried underground AND hit it with breathtaking precision within a few meters. So as conflicts continue to exist, world leaders all agree that conventional warfare is a thing of the past.

21st Century Israel Seen through the Psalms!
Psalm 83 Prayer

Israel has been at war, one way or another, for the last 64 years since its rebirth as a modern nation in 1948. No other country in the history of mankind has been under so much pressure from the international community for all the wrong reasons if any reason at all. Yet no other country in the entire world has ever survived this level of aggression from its neighbors. Something is going on in Israel that is far greater than the undeniable military might of IDF.

For the last few days, Operation Pillar of Defense has been underway, emphasis on the word "defense". As the launching of rockets on Israel has escalated in frequency and numbers over the last month, something had to be done. This little democracy tucked in the center of the Middle East and surrounded by enemies, has no choice but to defend itself. This could possibly turn into a full-blown war in the region, and considering the fragility of several of the "Arab Spring" surrounding countries, it would behoove the rest of the world to pay attention.

Truth, Half-Truths and Lies: “Christ at the Checkpoint” anti-Israel Conference
Palestinian Christians and Zionism
For as long as I can remember, the Middle East has been in turmoil. Arabs and Jews appear to have been at each other's throats since the day Israel was reborn as a modern nation in May of 1948 (that very day also being known as “al-Nakba” or “the Catastrophe” in the Islamic culture). Read More
