Hamas: Israel has no right to exist

April 30, 2020 — Israel National News reports: “Abdel Latif al-Qanoa, a spokesman for the Hamas terrorist organization, on Wednesday denied the right of the Jewish people to establish a state on the territory of Israel.

In a series of Twitter posts as Israel marked its 72nd Independence Day, Qanoa said the independence celebrations do not change the historical fact that Israel was established as an entity that ‘stole Palestinian land on the bodies of the Palestinian people’ and could never achieve legitimacy for its existence.

Qanoa stated that Israel would continue to be an enemy because it stole the rights of the Palestinian people and the holy places of the Islamic nation and because it is the main enemy of the nation…”  (Almighty God has stated: “…I will give them [Israel] an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off” – Isaiah 56:5.  Everlasting means everlasting.  God promised to Abraham in Genesis 22:17: “…in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the starts of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore…”    “And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out in his sight with his mighty power out of Egypt; To drive out nations from before thee greater and mightier than thou art, to bring thee in, to give thee their land for an inheritance, as it is this day.  Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the Lord he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.  Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth, which the Lord thy God giveth thee, for ever” – Deuteronomy 4:37 – 40.)

Hamas praises Jerusalem terrorist as a ‘hero’

April 23, 2020 — Israel National News reports: “The Hamas terrorist organization praised the ramming and stabbing attack which was carried out on Wednesday by a 25-year-old terrorist at the Kiosk checkpoint near Abu Dis, just east of Jerusalem.

The terrorist rammed a Border Police officer with his vehicle upon arriving at the checkpoint and then stepped out of the vehicle armed with scissors and tried to stab the policeman to death. The policeman’s friends who noticed the terrorist shot and killed him.

In a statement, Hamas called the terrorist a ‘hero’ and described the attack as an ‘heroic act’.

The attack, the organization noted, shows that there are surprises waiting for the ‘occupation’ in the ‘Occupied West Bank’ and that the Palestinian people will thwart Israel’s annexation plans using resistance…”  (Larry Miller, a humorist, tells of visiting several hospitals in Israel in in 2001 – 2002 where he met several victims of terror attacks.  He wrote: “Downstairs, before we left, the head of the hospital, an Israeli named Audrey, was showing me the children’s waiting room. I couldn’t help but notice, all around, an Arab woman with her son, an Arab family over there checking in, Arab children playing with the toys while waiting. The doctor saw the look on my face and laughed. “Oh, yes, we treat everyone.” I guess I was astonished. She just shrugged. “We’re Jews. This is how we live. It’s also for the future. They’re not going anywhere, and we’re not going anywhere. There will eventually be peace. There has to be.” When? A month? A year? A hundred years? More? She didn’t know. I had to say it. You’re incredible. You take everyone, you treat everyone, no one goes first, no one goes last, you just go in order of who needs help. That’s, like, Mother Teresa stuff. “We’re not saints, we’re just doing our jobs. It’s not easy, I admit. And it gets hard when they cheer when the [Jewish] bodies are brought in.” I looked at her. What did you say? She sighed. “Yes, it gets hard when they cheer.” This was one of the times during my trip when I held up my hands and said, “Stop. Wait.” I turned and walked away to breathe deeply for a minute… I didn’t meet one Jew the whole trip who didn’t think there would be peace, not one. “We can work it out. We have to. They’re not going anywhere. Neither are we.”  Of course, it gets hard when they cheer.  I guess it does.”) 

ICC: ‘Palestine’ a state, Israel can be prosecuted

May 1, 2020 — Israel National News reports: “’Palestine’ is a state and the International Criminal Court has jurisdiction involving its cases, the ICC prosecutor ruled Thursday, which could pave the way for a war crimes investigation against Israel.

A three-judge panel of the ICC Pretrial Chamber must now affirm the decision by Fatou Bensouda.

Israel has been accused of committing war crimes in Judea and Samaria, eastern Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip.

Israel is not a signer of the Rome Statute and therefore not a part of the ICC. The Palestinian Authority is, even though it is not a full member state of the United Nations.

Under Bensouda’s 60-page decision, the ICC may exercise its jurisdiction in ‘territory’ that ‘comprises the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and Gaza.’

Some 50 briefs, both for and against Israel, were filed in the case. The countries that supported Israel position included the Czech Republic, Austria, Germany, Australia, Hungary, Brazil and Uganda, The Jerusalem Post reported…”  (“Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?  The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.  He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.  Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.  Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.  I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.  Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.  Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.  Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.  Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him” – Psalm 2:1-12.)

Arab League: Sovereignty would be a ‘war crime’ against Palestinians

May 1, 2020 —Israel National News reports: “The Arab League said on Thursday that an Israeli proposal to apply sovereignty over parts of Judea and Samaria constituted a ‘new war crime’ against the Palestinians, AFP reports.

‘The implementation of plans to annex any part of the Palestinian territories occupied in 1967, including the Jordan Valley… and the lands on which Israeli settlements are standing represents a new war crime… against the Palestinian people,’ Arab foreign ministers said in a joint statement following a virtual conference chaired in Cairo.

The Arab League also urged the United States to ‘withdraw its support in enabling the plans of the occupying Israeli government’.

The condemnation follows the coalition agreement between Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Blue and White chairman Benny Gantz, which states that the government could apply sovereignty to parts of Judea and Samaria this coming July…”  (The Arab League does not know history, or the Qur’an – “And , when Moses said to his people, “O my people, remember the favor of Allah [God] upon you when He appointed among you prophets and made you possessors and gave you that which He had not given anyone among the worlds. O my people, enter the Holy Land which Allah has assigned to you and do not turn back and [thus] become losers.” — Quran, Surah Al-Ma’idah 5:20-21.  Nor do they know the Bible — Genesis 15:18 states: “In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates”  and in Joshua 1:4 we read: “From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.”  These verses encompass all of the land modern Israel currently possesses, plus all of the land of the Palestinians (the West Bank and Gaza), plus some of Egypt and Syria, plus all of Jordan, plus some of Saudi Arabia and Iraq. Israel currently possesses only a fraction of the land God has promised.  See the next report.) 

EU warns Israel: Annexation would be serious violation of international law

April 24, 2020 — Israel National News reports: “The European Union warned Israel Thursday against applying sovereignty over portions of Judea and Samaria, vowing to ‘closely monitor’ Israeli moves in the area.

In a statement released Thursday afternoon, EU foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell noted the deal between Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Blue and White chief Benny Gantz for the formation of a unity government, expressing a willingness to cooperate with the new Israeli government in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic, while cautioning the Jewish state against altering the status quo in Judea and Samaria.

‘The European Union takes note of the political agreement that could pave the way for the formation of a Government in Israel. The European Union is willing to closely cooperate with the new Government on fighting the coronavirus.’

‘Technical cooperation is ongoing and will be strengthened on all aspects of the pandemic. The health of our citizens and addressing the economic consequences of the coronavirus are our shared paramount priority.’

Borrell warned that the EU would strongly oppose Israel’s application of sovereignty in parts of Judea and Samaria – despite the move being supported by the US as part of the Trump administration’s peace plan – warning that such a step would be a major violation of international law…”

PA TV: Al-Aqsa is more precious than your children

April 23, 2020 — Israel National News reports: “A filler between broadcasts on official PA TV reinforces the PA’s message to Palestinian Arabs that the Islamic holy places and the struggle for ‘Palestine’ are worth the sacrifice of their children.

For decades, the PA has promoted to parents and children alike the ideal of dying as ‘Martyrs’ for the cause.

In the new filler, the PA teaches Palestinian Arabs that the Al-Aqsa Mosque is ‘more precious than my children and more precious than my family.’

‘Al-Aqsa – the lemon blossom, the olives. I will redeem you with my soul and my eyes. Al-Aqsa is more precious than my children and more precious than my family – Al-Aqsa is my life, Al-Aqsa is my life,’ the filler says…”  (How barbaric to use children in such a manner.  Golda Meir once said: “We can forgive the Arabs for killing our children.  We cannot forgive them for forcing us to kill their children.  We will only have peace with the Arabs when they love their children more than they hate us.”  Read the following passages to see what the Bible says about children.  “…children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward”- Psalms 127:3.     “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it” – Proverbs 22:6.    “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord:  And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.  And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:  And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up” – Deuteronomy 6:4 – 7.  “…all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children” – Isaiah 54:13.  Matthew 18:2 – 6 states: “And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little cildren, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.  Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.  And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.   But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.” )
