Is there a threat that Americans will lose their freedom due to domestic revolutionaries?

October 14, 2021 By Bella Davidov Leave a Comment

These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace.
In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
John 16:33 NKJV

According to Israeli/American journalist, Carolyn Glick the answer is, yes.

In an article she published, revolutionaries are willing to use force, as they showed in the summer of 2020 when they burned and looted their way through U.S. cities. But generally speaking, their weapon is not the gun or the jackboot, but demonization and intimidation. And now, with the Biden administration firmly ensconced in power, they move forward with their revolution with the firm backing of the state, and its weapons of repression and criminalization. (And of course, Jews and Israel are always a target.)

Kamala Harris at George Mason

Last month, the revolutionaries and the administration converged before the cameras at a meeting between Vice President Kamala Harris and students at George Mason University in Virginia. The Vice President was taking questions after speaking recently at George Mason University. A female student, who identified herself as “Yemeni and Iranian” rose to ask in a childlike voice a “question,” which was actually an opportunity to promote the revolution’s vicious hatred of Jews and America. She sniffed emotionally under her mask and told America’s second-highest elected official that her feelings were hurt when Congress passed a bill for supplemental funding to Israel’s Iron Dome anti-missile system, and how Israel supposedly commits “ethnic genocide” and therefore should not receive any aid from the United States.

The move, she yowled, “hurts my heart because it’s an ethnic genocide and a displacement of people, the same that happened in America, and I’m sure you’re aware of this.” Harris, seemingly nodding in agreement with the student as she spoke, could have (and should have) rebuked the student for lying. That is the standard of honesty to which our leaders should adhere.

Instead, Harris empowered the young bigot. She praised the student without directly commenting on the anti-Israel libel.

“Your voice, your perspective, your experience, your truth should not be suppressed, right? And this is one of the things we’re fighting for in a democracy, right?” Harris declared, which was actually a non sequitur since nobody was “suppressing” the Yemeni-Iranian student for promoting anti-Semitic and anti-American blood libels. On the contrary, the Israel-genocide slur is featured prominently on university campuses and op-ed pages all the time these days.

After Vice President Harris received criticism for actually praising the Israeli-hater student, Harris’s spokesperson emailed a private statement to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, saying the Vice President “strongly disagrees” with the Israel-bashing student. The spokesperson did not actually state what Harris, “strongly disagrees” with; not even not condemns, just “disagrees” with an opinion that can be debated, like whether or not there was a Holocaust.

By not rebuking the student on the spot, and by not condemning publically the lies that Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinians, Harris didn’t stand for truth.

The truth is that the Palestinian Muslim’s constant war against Israel (terror attacks and missile attacks by Hamas and Hezbollah) is an attempt to annihilate the Jewish state, which the US and other civilized countries should attempt to prevent. By failing to expound upon this truth, VP Harris showed her true two-sided face.

Critical Race Theory – CRT

The second reason Harris may have decided to support the George Mason’s student’s slander of Israel and America is that she most likely approved of what the student was saying. This brings us to what the revolution is about, and to the Biden-Harris administration’s position on its goals.

As Barack Obama said after winning the 2008 presidential election, the purpose of the revolution is to, “fundamentally transform the United States of America.” The doctrine that stands at the heart of the revolution is Critical Race Theory. 

The wrong-think mobs who reign supreme in most U.S. campuses have spread their tentacles to the political realm.

This week, revolutionaries in Arizona hounded moderate Democrat Senator Kyrsten Sinema in a public bathroom. They chastised and threatened her while she sat in a stall, and as she washed her hands in the sink. Sinema was deemed deserving of bullying in the ladies’ room because she opposes the revolutionaries’ $3.5 trillion social engineering budget for 2022.

CRT researcher, Christopher Rufo of the Manhattan Institute states that Critical Race Theorists believe American institutions, such as the Constitution and legal system, preach freedom and equality, but are mere “camouflages” for naked racial domination. They believe that racism is a constant, universal condition.”

Rufo explains that “critical race theory” reformulates the old Marxist dichotomy of oppressor and oppressed, replacing the class categories of bourgeoisie and proletariat with the identity categories of White and Black. But the basic conclusion is the same: in order to liberate man, society must be fundamentally transformed through moral, economic, and political revolution.”

In early 2020, Rufo exposed the federal government, including government departments and agencies as well as the U.S. armed forces for requiring their employees and servicemen to undergo CRT workshops and seminars. Participants in the seminars are separated by race. White participants are required to acknowledge and disavow their “whiteness,” that is, their inherent racism, and apologize to non-whites and commit themselves to empowering their non-white colleagues at their own expense, since, they were told, as white people, they were inherently oppressors.

Rufo’s revelations caused an uproar. The then President Donald Trump reacted by issuing an executive order banning CRT training from the federal government and the armed forces.

Trump’s executive order was one of the first policies Biden overturned. Biden canceled Trump’s executive order on his first day in office. In the days and months that have followed, his administration has reinstated and expanded CRT indoctrination.

CRT in the Classroom

Since early this year, the center of gravity in the fight against the CRT revolution has moved from the government to the classroom. Rufo and others have exposed how, under the cover of fighting racism, local school boards from coast to coast are transforming K-12 classrooms into CRT indoctrination centers. For example, Kindergarten children are taught that their gender is not fixed, but fluid.

Hardcore communist, anti-American, anti-white, and anti-police indoctrination have abounded across America. For example, fifth-graders in a Philadelphia elementary school were forced to celebrate “Black communism. Kindergarten pupils in Buffalo, New York, we’re taught that “all white people” are racists, and were forced to watch a video of dead black children. They were warned of “racist police and state-sanctioned violence” that placed their lives in constant jeopardy.

Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, as the schoolrooms moved into the homes through Zoom, due to the school shutdowns over the past year and a half, American parents saw the indoctrination first hand. They saw their children’s teachers demonize police and teach them to hate their country, judge people by their skin color, and reject the values at the heart of the American experience. The backlash has been profound.

Over the spring and summer, thousands of concerned parents countrywide began attending school board meetings and demanding that the indoctrination stop and CRT curricula be withdrawn.

Videos of the meetings, the invariably dismissive and hostile responses parents received from school board members, were seen by tens of millions of people. In Virginia, which has been a focal point of the struggle, parents were subjected to arrest for trying to protect their children from CRT.

Recently, the CRT revolutionaries opened their counter-assault on the parents. At a governmental debate in Virginia on September 28, former governor and current Democrat candidate Terry McAuliffe said that parents have no right to interfere with school curriculum.

“I’m not going to let parents come into schools and actually take books out and make their own decisions,” he said, adding, “I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach.”

The next day, the National School Boards Association shot off a letter to Biden asking him to direct his administration to treat the protesting parents as “domestic terrorists.”

And this week, Attorney General Merrick Garland issued a memo to the FBI Director and federal prosecutors effectively ordering them to fulfill the NSBA’s request.

Garland’s memo was directed at parents, no less than to federal law enforcement officials. And his message was clear: If you object to CRT indoctrination in the classroom, the federal government will treat you like terrorists. You will lose everything. Under the circumstances, how many parents will be willing to continue the fight for their children’s American souls?

Conclusion

This brings us back to the student at George Mason. The anti-American, anti-Semitic, anti-Israeli lies she propounded to Harris were not her lies. They were the lies she has been taught by the CRT revolutionaries in the classroom. They taught her that the U.S. was born not in liberty, but in slavery, racism, and genocide. She has been taught that the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Civil War, and the Civil Rights Act were all fig leaves behind which the true venality of America operates and carries out its oppressive, genocidal, and racist machinations. There is no forgiveness for America’s crimes. Only the revolution, which will “fundamentally transform the United States” can fix what is ailing Uncle Sam.

Likewise, the Jewish state, America’s mini-me, can only be redeemed when the “colonialist Jewish settlers” and their “genocidal,” “apartheid” Jewish regime are kicked out of “Palestine.”

Consistent polling data show that between two-thirds and three-quarters of Americans oppose the inclusion of CRT in school curricula. But the revolutionaries don’t care. With the FBI, the U.S. attorneys, the President, and the Vice President on their side, the revolutionaries don’t need the public’s approval. They have the full force of the federal government behind their efforts.

No, Americans are not losing their liberty to invading armies from China or Russia, or even to terrorists from al Qaeda. Those enemies are all sitting on the side, eating popcorn and watching as the combined force of CRT revolutionaries and the federal government trample the rights and freedoms that have defined America since its founding, in favor of “their voice, their perspective, their experience, and their truth.”


Our Response

Who initiated all these lies? It is none other than the father of lies himself, Satan, whose entire existence is to steal, kill and destroy, and is now intent on stealing, killing, and destroying America’s great heritage.

Are Americans losing their freedom? Not if the body of born-again believers, with authority and power endowed from the Holy Spirit stands in the gap in prevailing prayer. Yeshua said that He gave us life, and more abundantly. However, it is a spiritual battle. As it is written in Ephesians 6:12, we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against rulers and against principalities and cosmic powers over this present darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. It is critical that the church now take up her spiritual weapons in combat.

Can America prevent her loss of freedom? Yes, if the Church unites in prayer to God, for nothing is impossible with Him. In the name of Yeshua/Jesus, we already have the victory, He has overcome the world. In Him, we are more than conquerors. Hallelujah.

Let us pray fervently, with the power and authority He gave us. Pray for the salvation of America and Israel.

The Last Hour

January 19, 2021 By Bella Davidov Leave a Comment

Is This Goodbye or See You Again?

O my God, I trust in You; Let me not be ashamed; Let not my enemies triumph over me. Psalm 25:2

“What is truth?” asked Pilate when Yeshua/Jesus said to him:
“For this reason I was born and have come into the world, to testify to the TRUTH. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to My voice.”

When we seek the truth, we seek Him with all of our hearts and soul, and we will find Him (Deut. 4: 29.) Yeshua said to Pilate, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the life! No one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6.).

We must abandon our own agenda, opinions, and what others – even those we most admire – think. It is fundamental that we seek Him personally, and not rely upon the relationship of anyone else, neither Pastors, Rabbis nor Imams.

Yeshua said that we, His sheep, know His voice; we know the TRUTH because we know Him personally. But how can we know what is true and what is false in this world?

What is happening in America?
In the government?
Are they seeking the truth?

  • Is it true that the election was stolen from President Trump and the Republicans?
  • Is it true that Trump instigated the riot in DC and therefore is rightfully being punished?
  • What about the impeachment? Will they succeed in removing Trump once and for all and disqualifying him from ever running for office again?

If the answer to all these questions is negative, will God execute justice in the last hour, and will the real truth be exposed, thereby saving President Trump and restoring him to the presidency?

President Trump is being accused of unpatriotism and inciting violence. However, Trump simply wanted to expose any fraudulence in the 2020 presidential election, believing that he had won.

When President Trump called for Georgia’s officials to verify voter signatures and that all voters were legal residents of the state, his request was denied. Former President Ronald Reagan advocated the practice of “trust but verify.” In the wake of a global pandemic and this most problematic election, one can reasonably legitimize President Trump’s reluctance to trust, and certainly his persistent call to verify.

According to the mainstream media and the Democrats, President Trump had no right to challenge the results of the unorthodox 2020 election practices.

The Democrats only won by a small number of votes. Despite a tidal wave of Trump-hatred, almost half the country believes that they were cheated. Meanwhile, the other side criticizes President Trump for challenging the outcome of the election.

January 6th

His appeal on January 6th to his supporters didn’t go so well. His statements were deliberately misconstrued by his enemies in the mainstream media, Congress, and even by some in the Republican party who were quick to distort his appeal as proof of his unworthiness for the Presidency.

The vast majority of the many thousands at the Capitol were there to show their strong and peaceful support for the President. (We have received reports from some who were actually there, confirming that 95 percent of the pro-Trump demonstrators were peaceful.) A small minority, however, expressed their anger in the form of violence and trespassing into the Capitol building despite the President’s loud and clear call for a peaceful protest. Despite significantly less destruction than during the “Summer of George Floyd,” nevertheless there were five deaths and the trespassers were undoubtedly in the wrong. Somehow, the Democrats, mainstream media, big tech, and the violent Left turned a blind eye to the perpetrators of violence.

Hypocrisy

Months earlier, racism was the excuse for the demolition of national statues, and although such actions were criminal and morally wrong, the democratic congressmen ignored the whole escapade. Now, as the focus has shifted to the DC violence, the purpose of discovering the truth of the 2020 election has been lost in the shuffle. As far as the anti-Trump crowd is concerned, the issue has been firmly settled.

Sadly, an honest and comprehensive forensic investigation into the 2020 election and the real cause for the riots on the Capitol may never take place. Until such trustworthy investigations occur, there will be no verification and therefore no; truth will appear not to matter, until and if God intervenes and supernaturally exposes the truth.

The Left which prides itself on its democracy is the first to suppress free speech, citing the January 6th riots as the need to do so. Ironically, during the last year’s summer violence, the Democrats aided the unlawful rioters by establishing bail funds. Furthermore, the leftist prosecutors refused to charge the rioters but are now quick to prosecute several pro-Trump demonstrators.
There were reports that several Black Lives Matter and Antifa members were masquerading as Trump supporters and inflamed the demonstration creating chaos. Sadly, the blame for the chaos is falling upon President Trump.

It remains to be seen if the truth behind the January 6 events will ever be known, and just how much truth, if any, will matter in American politics in the future.

January 17, 2021, in Washington, DC.

After the riots at the U.S. Capitol Building, the FBI warned of additional threats in the nation’s capital and in all 50 states. According to reports, as many as 25,000 National Guard soldiers will be guarding the city as preparations are made for the inauguration of Joe Biden as the 46th U.S. President.

PRAY

However, to us as believers in Yeshua, Who is the Truth, truth does matter. Let’s pray that God reveals the hidden things behind the American current events before we believe the various opinions and biased news. We are praying for America, especially for the January 20th gathering in Washington DC. There are many police and military men and there is the danger of violence and even death.

Israel Favors Trump for President

October 31, 2020 By Bella Davidov Leave a Comment

“First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.” 1 Timothy 2:1

Living in Israel, we mostly experience relative peace that enables Israel to develop and grow. However, this peace is periodically interrupted by terror attacks and even wars. Even in times of apparent peace, Israel’s enemies are in a constant level of warfare.

Recently in the south, the Israeli army uncovered yet another “terror tunnel” stretching from Gaza into Israel. Hamas in Gaza never stops building tunnels. Fortunately, the Israeli army has been able to destroy or seal dozens of them over the years.

President Obama – a Legacy of Enablement of Israel’s Enemies

In Gaza’s early phase of tunnel-building, Israel restricted the importation of building materials that could be used for tunnels. But the Obama administration blocked Israel’s restrictive measures, believing the materials were used for housing, schools, and buildings.

Inevitably, Hamas did use hundreds of thousands of tons of cement to build a maze of underground tunnels, bunkers, command posts, and shelters for its leaders, fighters, and rockets. Now Israel has to suffer and deal with the consequences of the Obama administration’s error.

Obama also forced Israel to accept a 10-month freeze on any building of Jewish homes in Judea and Samaria (known as the West Bank) to encourage the Palestinians to negotiate. The Palestinians never did after all.

Under the Obama administration, Vice President Joe Biden objected vehemently to Israel’s plans to build in a religious neighborhood of Jerusalem. Israel claimed that it has the right to build anywhere in its capital.

President Obama insisted that Israel accept moving back to the “1967 borders.” This would endanger Israel’s security, eliminate defensible borders, and put Israel’s security in the hands of the United Nations and Israel’s Arab enemies. Furthermore, Obama allowed the U.N. Security Council to pass its infamous Resolution 2334—opposed by almost every Democratic senator—which encourages a boycott against any Israeli presence in Judea and Samaria.

On the northern Israel-Lebanon border, Hezbollah has transformed itself, from a minor terror organization into a full-scale army, and is now a major threat. With Iranian backing, Hezbollah has accumulated an estimated 150,000 missiles. The IDF (Israeli Defense Force) has conducted recently a massive military exercises with both regular troops and reservists, involving the air force, navy, and ground forces, as well as the intelligence, technology, and logistics, teleprocessing, and cyber defense directorates in order to deal with the Hezbollah threat.

In 2006, in response to international criticism and pressure, Israel stopped acting against Hezbollah. Furthermore, the United Nations Security Council promises to keep southern Lebanon out of the terrorists’ control were never kept. This is a recurring cycle – Israel defends itself, the world protests and Israel relents in exchange for empty promises.

Obama gave Iran in the “deal” billions of dollars that were ultimately used to support terrorists throughout the Middle East, and in effect hindered Israeli defense against Iranian targets. Under Obama, Israeli attacks against Iranian proxies in Syria which threatened Israel’s security were off-limits. He wouldn’t compromise his Iran Nuclear Deal.

President Trump – a True Friend

Contrary to Obama, President Trump went to work on behalf of Israel immediately. He recognized the unified city of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and moved the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, opening the door for other countries to follow suit. Israel’s sovereignty over the Western Wall and Temple Mount is now more secure than ever.

Next, President Trump announced recognition of Israel’s sovereignty over the strategically vital territory of the Golan Heights, ensuring that it will not fall into the hands of Iranian proxies.

The Trump administration has also clearly stated that Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria, so-called settlements, are not illegal and are part of Israel’s Jewish heritage.

Under President Trump, Israel has launched numerous uninterrupted attacks against Iranian proxies in Syria. A series of unexplained explosions at Iranian nuclear and industrial facilities, attributed to Israel, have significantly hindered Iran’s weaponry program.

Just recently, President Trump coordinated with PM Netanyahu the historically successful Middle East peace effort called “The Abraham Accords”, opening formal relations between Israel and Arab Muslim Gulf States, and even with the former enemy African state of Sudan, which now prefers relations with Israel than with Iran. These normalizations with former enemy nations are truly amazing, which PM Netanyahu calls, “Peace for Peace” instead of “Land for Peace.”

Many left-wing leaders, including President Obama, were convinced that Israel could never achieve peace with Arab states without giving away vital territory to the Palestinians. Trump and Netanyahu have proven that Israel need not give away land or expel Jews from their homes to achieve peace.

All those achievements have made President Trump a great leader in favor of Israel and its security. During the Obama years, Israel was under constant diplomatic attack from the European Union with many expecting Israel to become isolated. This perception gave way to an international rise of the BDS movement (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions – solely against Israel) and anti-Israel protests around the globe. Now, thanks to US President Trump working closely with Israel’s PM Netanyahu, Israel is being sought after by many counties who shunned it just a short time ago.

President Trump and PM Netanyahu have produced a historic period that has transformed Israel’s international position and increased its state security. No wonder most Israelis favor Trump over Obama’s former vice-president Biden. Indeed, all of Trump’s initiatives, from recognizing Jerusalem to “The Abraham Accords” have had overwhelming support from politicians of all major Israeli parties.

Israelis fear Biden becoming president and undoing Trump’s accomplishments. They don’t want to go back to Obama’s days.

Pray … Pray … Pray

The Bible commands us to pray for those who are in leadership (I Timothy 2:1-4). This includes those who are contending to become leaders.

According to Scripture, “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people” (Proverbs 14:34). The selection of leaders who understand and lead according to God’s righteous standards can bring great blessing to a nation.

Let the Holy Spirit lead you in your prayers of intercession for the United States. As believers, may we have faith to believe that our votes do make a difference. The United States of America was founded on the basis of voting for a candidate with a Godly reputation, according to what is best for the nation. Much prayer is needed for this critical process. Pray for discernment and clarity between truth and falsehood. Pray for physical protection for the candidates and their families, a hedge of protection around the different states, and the whole nation during this time of elections.

Let us focus our hearts on the Kingdom of God. Pray that the purposes of God be accomplished in the U.S. elections. Pray that the results of the elections will please the Lord and release His blessing.

The Deal of the Century Finally Revealed

February 28, 2020 By Bella Davidov Leave a Comment

“NO! God’s Word says not to divide the land.”

This was the first reaction of many believers in Yeshua/Jesus to President Trump’s “Deal of the Century.” The Israeli right-wing parties also chimed in,

“NO! there can never be a Palestinian state.

Israel’s claim to the land, including Judea and Samaria is based on the Bible and God’s promises to His people Israel. (Gen. 12:7; 15:18; 17:8; 28:13, and 35:12.) Consider, though, that in the long history of the Jewish people, God has had to repeatedly discipline His people, individually, as a nation, and as a people.

One of the most recent examples is the 2000 years of diaspora Jews spent in exile separated from the land of Israel. However, He has also promised to gather the people of Israel and bring them back to the land of Israel. Today, we witness these promises being fulfilled before our eyes. Israel has returned to the land of Israel as a nation.

While in exile, foreigners have occupied the land and lay claim to the land for themselves. Now Israel has a dilemma–how to deal with these non-Jewish occupants, all the while having the international community watching and ready to condemn any meaningful effort at compromise.

Israel liberated Jerusalem, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip during the 1967 Six-Day War. These are all lands Palestinians now want for a future state.

The First Plan designed with Israel’s interests as a priority

President Trump’s former ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley stated,

“The top priority of the plan’s architects is always the national security of Israel. We knew that we couldn’t do anything that was going to compromise the security of Israel. But we also knew that the Palestinians deserve a better way of life.”

The reality is that for years Israel and the world have tried to deal with the reality that there are a few million Palestinians living in established cities and villages in Judea and Samaria, East Jerusalem, and Gaza. Every previous plan proposal focused on Palestinian interests as a priority. For the first time, there is a plan designed with Israel’s interests as a priority.

No one has been able to come up with a perfect plan for peace between Israel and the Palestinians. President Trump’s peace proposal is not perfect. But for Israel, there are many positive reasons to accept it.

As of today, the concept of two states for two peoples, living side by side in peace and harmony, with Israel going back to the borders of pre-1967 has never materialized. Any peace initiative suggested by world powers pressured Israel to make most of the concessions and compromises. At the same time, the Palestinians’ constant refusal was overlooked and Israel was always blamed for the failure of executing the plan. Israel has always expected to give up some land in exchange for Palestinian promises even though all previous “Land for Peace” deals have been quickly abrogated by the Palestinians.

Requirements and Conditions for the Palestinians

A short summary of requirements for the Palestinians.

President Trump’s “Deal of the Century” goes against the previous formulas, and places on the Palestinians the responsibility of either accepting ALL of the conditions before any negotiations for a Palestinian state can even begin, or to have no deal. It states that the Palestinian Authority (PA) in Judea-Samaria must stop the incitement to violence. They must show complete financial transparency and must completely stop payments to terrorists who harm Israeli citizens, including payments to families of suicide bombers–so-called Martyrs Payments. It calls for complete demilitarization of the West Bank and the disarmament of Hamas, the terrorist organization controlling the Gaza strip, which maintains a huge arsenal of Iranian rockets and missiles. It also requires the disarmament of all other terrorist organizations, such as the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

The Palestinian government is required to end its attempts to brand Israel as a war criminal in international courts; and mandates the elimination of the teaching of genocidal anti-Semitism in Palestinian schools and media. It requires respect for human rights and religious freedoms, by all parties, and the support of a free press. These conditions must be implemented before America’s recognition of Palestinian statehood. The conditions have an expiration period of 4 years.

There are two central conditions that Palestinians have never accepted nor will they accept. First–the recognition of Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish People in the land of Israel. Second, Palestinians must give up the “right of return” to Israel for so-called Palestinian refugees, by which they mean the 1948 Arab refugees and their descendants who now reside in countries all over the world.

Trump emphasizes that historically there were similar numbers of Jewish refugees from Arab countries, whose possessions were taken by the regimes, most of them were absorbed into Israel’s population. Established after 1948, the UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Middle East, which Trump stopped supporting recently) perpetuates the refugee problem instead of solving it. The Palestinians are the only refugees in the world who have not been assimilated into the countries they immigrated to, which include many Arab countries. Trump’s Peace to Prosperity plan creates various funding structures to help Palestinian refugee families living in Lebanon, Jordan, and Syria achieve citizenship where they reside.

Trump is offering the Palestinians the sum of $50 billion to build their future state’s infrastructure and boost its economy. However, they must give up their ‘destructive ideology,’ as previously explained.

Palestinian Rejection of the Deal

It is notable, the Palestinians rejected Trump’s ‘Deal of the Century’ even before it was announced, even before reading it. They continue to reject it. This is consistent with their rejecting any plan since partition was first proposed in 1937. Their reason for rejection has been consistent. No plan that results in a Jewish nation in the Middle East can ever be accepted. Every Palestinian leader and/or negotiator has always maintained it would mean personal political and physical death to ever accept an agreement that resulted in a Jewish state. If the Palestinians persist in rejecting negotiations, Israel will likely proceed with annexations as called for in the deal.

The plan gives Israel the right to security control of the entire territory of Judea and Samaria, including areas under Palestinian authority. This includes security at all international crossings. [Read more here about Judea and Samaria.] If there is eventually a Palestinian state (most unlikely, because they will refuse to accept ALL the conditions) it will have to be a completely demilitarized state, and Israel will have the right ‘to dismantle and destroy any facility in the State of Palestine that is used for the production of prohibited weapons or other hostile purposes.’ How will Iran and their proxies, Hezbollah and Hamas, feel about having their missiles removed?

The plan gives Israel sovereignty over 30% of Judea and Samaria, to begin with, and gives an agreement-in-principle to a Palestinian state eventually (when they agree to ALL the conditions, which they will not.) They have four years to decide after which the offer expires. Israel, however, will not wait long to implement their portion of the agreement which are steps to secure and further enhance Israel’s security.

The Jordan Valley will be Israel’s permanent eastern border, based on historical Jewish settlement rights and in consideration of Israeli security needs. And Israel can declare these borders without Palestinian approval. [Read more here about the Jordan Valley.]

President Trump declared all 150 Israeli towns and settlements in Judea and Samaria legal. With the annexation of that area into the State of Israel, Israeli military rule will end (as well as the term “occupation”). Israel will be free to build more homes in these towns and settlements without restriction. Not one person will be forced out of his home, ever, anywhere in the Land of Israel.

The Next Four Years

Here is a map showing the previously designated A, B, and C areas.

The Palestinians have four years to fulfill these requirements. Should the Palestinians refuse to accept the conditions, resulting in no negotiations with Israel, any territories set aside as part of a future Palestinian state will revert to their current disputed status, resulting in no Palestinian state. Israel keeps the annexed territories.

In the next four years, Israel promises to freeze new settlements in 50% of what has been designated “Area C”. (Area in Judea and Samaria under Israeli military control.) This will help Israel act against pirate Jewish building as well as illegal Palestinian settlements building in strategic areas, which they have been doing illegally with the support of funds from the European Union.

As a result, it changes Area A that is currently under Palestinian security control into Area B, which is under Israeli security control. This will completely change the map of Judea and Samaria.

As complicated as it will be, the plan is to build and construct infrastructure—roads, railroads, bridges, and tunnels in Judea and Samaria—to connect Jewish towns to one another and Palestinian cities and towns to one another. This is preferable to the evacuation and transforming of Jews from their homes, as would have been required under the two states’ plan. Also, the road construction will give many Israelis as well as Palestinians, much-needed employment.

A Misunderstanding

Here’s a map of “the Deal” as it stands today. It is a work in progress.

After revealing his ‘Deal of the Century’ on January 28, US President Donald Trump said among other things, “We will form a joint committee with Israel to convert the conceptual map into a more detailed and calibrated rendering so that recognition can be immediately achieved. The United States will recognize Israeli sovereignty over the territory that my vision provides to be part of the State of Israel.”

That is where the misunderstanding between Israel and the US started. Israeli reporters announced right away, based on what they heard from PM Netanyahu’s aides in Washington, that the PM intends to bring the annexation issue to a cabinet vote immediately upon his return to Israel. However, it became clear to Netanyahu that he misunderstood President Trump. Trump’s statements meant ‘recognition can be immediately achieved’ only after the work is completed ‘to convert the conceptual map into a more detailed and calibrated rendering.’

Special adviser to Trump and ‘architect’ of the peace initiative, Jared Kushner came out with a statement right away for Israel to wait with the annexation. Later on, he reportedly told journalists, following a briefing at the UN Security Council, that the process could take ‘a couple of months’.

US Ambassador to Israel, David Freedman told reporters that it will be a process to correct the general map of the plan to make it more precise. The border between Israel and a possible future Palestinian state is about 800-kilometers (497-miles).

The map shows the greater Israel extending from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River, with a small Palestinian enclave in the West Bank which is cut off from the rest of the world and surrounded on all sides by the State of Israel. This enclave, even if given the title of “state”, could never be considered one in a conventional sense.

It will have no army nor control of its border or airspace and therefore, and, in complete contrast to the wording of the proposed peace plan, would not be freely open to commerce and investments. Israel will permanently retain all Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria as well as the areas surrounding them including the Jordan Valley.

What about Jerusalem in this Deal? See the next newsletter…

Please pray for wisdom for Israeli and US leaders on how to implement the plan, complete the revision of the map with Israel’s security as a priority, and in accordance with the Word of God and His plan for the restoration of the Land of Israel and the people of Israel in the Land.

Israel, Like the US, Battles the Left

October 10, 2019 By Bella Davidov Leave a Comment

I, (Bella) am a member of the Likud party and attended many of the party’s functions, including speeches by Netanyahu. The following is my observation and analysis from the information I gathered from the inside and also the news. I prayed a lot before, during and after the election. I am writing this to you, dear friends of Israel and prayer partners, to seek the Lord’s guidance on how to pray for both Israel and the US at this critical time.

In all the months before the election, the Israeli public was influenced significantly by the left-wing media feeding them Netanyahu’s failures and shortcomings while completely ignoring his achievements. [Read more about Netanyahu’s Achievements.]

Thanks to Netanyahu’s leadership over the last ten years, Israel is now the 8th superpower in the world and a major High-Tech nation with many Israeli innovations used worldwide.

Netanyahu has formed an unofficial alliance between Israel and most of the moderate Sunni Arab nations, led by Egypt and Saudi Arabia, in dealing with the growing Iranian and Jihadi threats.

Together with President Trump, Netanyahu has implemented strategic plans in the interest of both counties. Trump relied on our dependable Israeli leader with a strong army. In return, Netanyahu relied on strong backup from the American President. In strategic partnership with Israel, President Trump pulled out of the deal with Iran and began a series of tough sanctions while Netanyahu prevented Iran from gaining a foothold in Syria by bombing Iranian ammunition bases there with little or no interference or retaliation.

Trump and Netanyahu were a force to reckon with which the enemies of both countries recognize.

Both Trump and Netanyahu have been waiting for an opportunity to strike Iran’s nuclear installations (the Revolutionary Guards bases, missiles and ammunition targets) which would significantly weaken the Iranian threat and give Israel more deterrent power. The current strike on Saudi Arabia’s oil installations could have been that opportunity, now halted by Israel’s lack of government due to the election stalemate. There is a real danger that Israel could lose its position of power gained over the last few years as well as the collaboration of President Trump.

One of the greatest achievements for an American president would be to bring peace between Israel and the Palestinians. Trump greatly desires (in cooperation with Netanyahu) to be the one to succeed where all other US presidents have failed. This opportunity is now on hold. Before the elections, Netanyahu announced his intention to apply Israeli sovereignty over the Jordan Valley after the elections. Netanyahu hinted it was in cooperation with President Trump: “I will apply for sovereignty of the settlements and other areas with maximum cooperation with the United States.” 

No US administration has ever supported Israel’s right to assert its sovereign rights in Judea and Samaria without Palestinian permission, Trump may be the first.

Then came the elections of September 17, 2019.

Many in the US and other parts of the world don’t understand the election system in Israel. Even a few days after the elections, while results were not complete, it was obvious that Netanyahu was not a clear winner, but neither was the other major candidate.

Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, proclaimed to tens of thousands of Iranians at the end of Election Day: “This is a great day for Iran. Finally, after many years, we have achieved our goal – the left has come to power in Israel.”

The crowd cheered, “Death to Israel, death to the Zionists.” 

The Ayatollah continued: “Finally, a weak government that will allow us to rule in Tel Aviv, in Haifa and in all of the Middle East.”

The crowds cheered again, “Death to Israel, death to the Zionist.”

The radical Islamic nation regularly threatens the State of Israel with annihilation. It invests billions in Syria, Lebanon, and Gaza toward that end. Removing the hawkish Netanyahu would be a great gift to Tehran.

The battle is really between the left and right world views. The left will do everything in its power to take over control of Israel and the US.

In Israel, Netanyahu’s big rivals are Benny Gantz and Yair Lapid, the head of the Kahol Lavan party. They appealed to the center-leftist Israelis who are mainly secular. To fight the right-wing bloc, they targeted its leader, Benyamin Netanyahu.

Netanyahu, even though not religious, believes in the Word of God in the Old Testament and the right of the Jews to the land of their forefathers. He announced never to divide Jerusalem again. He opposes the elite progressive left, which has never accepted the majority vote for Netanyahu and the right bloc during the last 10 years. They have targeted Netanyahu as being the danger to their progressive, liberal future.

These leftists in politics, media, and economic powers have been able to put doubts in the mind of the public about Netanyahu’s integrity by accusations and innuendos through the media, and by leaking lies and half-truths from police interrogations. They influence leftists in the prosecution and judicial systems who desire to destroy Netanyahu and prevent him from ever being elected again.

That influence created immense waves of anti-Netanyahu sentiments. The anti-Netanyahu campaign proved to be quite effective and many of these accusations, that Netanyahu claims are “fake news” have stuck in the minds of voters who see Netanyahu as being corrupt even though not proven guilty. As far as the left is concerned, like Trump, Netanyahu is guilty until proven innocent. Even after Netanyahu is found not guilty, they will never admit his innocence, leaving doubts in people’s minds.

The media and Netanyahu’s opponents have completely ignored all of Netanyahu’s achievements over the last ten years and have embarked on an all-out war against him, with the slogan “Anyone but Bibi”.

Finally the “Big Guns”

After many months of interrogations, before the April elections, Attorney General Mandelblit announced in February that he intended to file criminal charges against Netanyahu in cases 4000, 1000 and 2000, pending the outcome of hearings. Netanyahu has denied all allegations and claims that he is the victim of a politically orchestrated “witch-hunt” by the media and the left to oust him from office.

Netanyahu won the April elections but was unable to form a coalition because Liberman and his party, Israel Betyenu, pulled out of the coalition. [Click here for details.] This led to the September election. In the months before the last election, the media and the opposition intensified the attack on Netanyahu via continual leakage and messages of the cases against him, portraying him in the minds of the public as being corrupt, even though the cases were pending hearings. They did not give him a chance to refute the allegations or present his side.

Netanyahu still has the mandate to form a coalition while the hearings were in progress last week, between the prosecution and Netanyahu’s attorneys, permitting the defense to argue against the prospective charges and to convince the attorney-general to either scrap or reduce them. After listening to the arguments, the attorney-general will decide by the end of the year whether there is cause for indictment and whether Netanyahu should stand trial.

The most serious charge against Netanyahu is bribery, of which he has been accused in Case 4000. This charge involves allegations that Netanyahu, when he was the minister of communications, granted regulatory favors, and/or financial benefits to Israel’s leading telecommunications company, Bezeq Telecom Israel (BEZQ.TA), in return for positive coverage of himself and his wife Sara on a news website controlled by the company’s former chairman. The charges in this case were reviewed last week. Netanyahu states the decisions he made regarding the Bezeq Corporation were supported by expert advisers and that they had nothing to do with his family’s ties to the primary shareholder, Shaul Elovitch.

CASE 1000 alleges that Netanyahu and his wife wrongfully received lavish gifts (including expensive champagne and cigars, jewelry, flights, and hotel rooms) from billionaire friends, mainly the prominent, Israeli-born, Hollywood producer Arnon Milchan, and Australian billionaire businessman James Packer. Netanyahu is accused of lobbying for retaining a returned citizen’s benefits law, favorable to the wealthy that would provide tax relief for Milchan worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

In Case 2000, Netanyahu is accused of fraud and breach of trust for allegedly conspiring with the publisher of the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper (the largest newspaper in Israel, hostile to Netanyahu) Arnon “Noni” Mozes, to limit the circulation of Israel Hayom (the largest newspaper that is distributed free of charge) in exchange for favorable coverage in the Yedioth publication. The charges were scheduled to be reviewed on Sunday, October 6, 2019.

If Netanyahu is indicted it could take many months before his trial begins. Netanyahu could also seek a plea bargain rather than stand trial. In the case of bribery, he can get a sentence of up to 10 years in jail and/or a fine. In the case of fraud and breach of trust, the sentence is up to three years in prison.

According to Israeli law, a Prime Minister must step down if ultimately convicted, but can stay in office throughout legal proceedings including appeals.

Netanyahu’s supporters in the legislature have said they would support granting him parliamentary immunity from prosecution, hopefully, enough Knesset members will back such a move.

“What’s going on here,” noted retired Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz, “is that vague, elastic, and open-ended laws are being stretched so as to target a particular individual, even though the ‘crime’ in question is something that is actually normal political conduct and not some nefarious plot.”

Prime Minister Netanyahu called the corruption allegations a “witch hunt” orchestrated by the media and left-wing to topple him.

“For the past three years, they have been carrying out an unprecedented witch-hunt which has one aim: to topple the right-wing government which I lead.”

Netanyahu, insisting on his innocence, said his family has “gone through hell” as he questioned whether it was fair to consider “two-and-a-half articles on the Internet” of positive news coverage a benefit amounting to bribery. “There’s no precedent in history which determines that positive coverage is a bribe,” Netanyahu said.

“Walla, (an Israeli internet company headquartered in Tel Aviv owned by Bezeq, accused in case 4000) remains an extreme-left website that is hostile to me!”

“Unilateral publication of the attorney general’s announcement just a month before the elections, without giving the Prime Minister an opportunity to refute these false accusations, is a blatant and unprecedented intervention in the elections,” said a right-wing party official ahead of Netanyahu’s statement. He said, “The cases were brought for the sole purpose of toppling the dominant right-wing government in favor of a left-wing government led by Benny Gantz and Yair Lapid’s Blue and White party.”

Netanyahu claims that the apparent strains of evidence are “fake news”, hearsay and other purportedly specious proof on which the cases are based. “It is regrettable that the High Court of Justice did not prevent the left from blatantly interfering in the elections”.

Netanyahu counts some 22 probes into their household conduct. One investigation was about whether Netanyahu and his wife, Sara, were overspending on ice cream! Another targeted Sara Netanyahu for supposedly enriching herself with the proceeds from returned bottle deposits.

Nothing came of these investigations but they created an image of the couple’s overspending lifestyle, and that Netanyahu is being controlled by his wife, just as the “witch-hunt” in Washington over President Trump’s alleged “collusion” with Russia has been used to batter the President.

Interestingly, both Netanyahu and President Trump are being targeted by the powers of the left to inhibit and deny their chances to lead their respective countries. President Trump’s political enemies from the left have targeted him for impeachment, even criminal indictment. The same forces work day and night, just as they do against Netanyahu, to eliminate President Trump from power. They are also working in the US to turn the country against Israel, and the most pro-Israel President in history. Anti-Israel, even anti-Semitic voices are gaining influence on Capitol Hill.

It is urgent now to pray for both leaders who are so important to Israel’s future.

The prosecution in Israel has made itself into a court. Waiting for the result of the hearing is like waiting for sentencing. That all of this is accepted practice in this country doesn’t mean it’s a process that meets democratic constitutional standards. Especially when in the last two elections, a very large sector of the public voted to reject law enforcement’s stance regarding the prime minister. It’s not about whether or not Netanyahu is innocent; it’s about the fact that law enforcement officials must not be the ones to decide whether or not he can continue to serve as prime minister.

In this critical situation, prayer and supernatural intervention is the only solution. We believe in the sovereignty of God Almighty, doing wonders. Let’s pray in faith and power, led by the Holy Spirit. To God be the glory.

When the enemy comes in like a flood,
The Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.
Isaiah 59:19 (NKJV)
