Beyond Babylon hopes to help avert nuclear holocaust

Beyond Babylon hopes to help avert nuclear holocaust

From one of many forums:


Shimon Peres: Death Knell for Israel?

David Ben-Ariel is a psychopath, terrorist, religious fundamentalist, bent on causing Armageddon.


In other words, you can't debate, so you defame; you can't refute, so you ridicule. The funny thing is the more dirt you throw, the dirtier you get.

Those who know me, know that I am doing all I can to help avert the nuclear holocaust the German-Jesuit EU will ignite against the British-Israelites and Jews. Such German-Jesuits are aided and abetted by the likes of that bloody vulture, Shimon Peres.

Yitzhak Rabin was sacrificed by the Israeli oligarchy for their German-Jesuit masters intent on occupying Jerusalem.

Shimon Peres Came to Power Over Rabin's Dead Body

Vatican Linked to the Assassination of Yitzhak Rabin

Your rants and raves won't stop me from continuing to share the plain truth of the Bible and history or to stop praying for you and our proud and stubborn peoples bent on destruction, until God says "enough is enough" and lets the Beast loose that is presently restrained...

Why the Jews are Judah by Steven Collins

Why the Jews are Judah
by Steven Collins

INTRODUCTION
Because this report will be read by individuals with different viewpoints, some introductory comments are needed. After writing a book entitled The "Lost" Ten Tribes of Israel...Found! , this author has received many letters, tracts, pamphlets, etc. presenting so many different theories about the identity of the Jews that they are too numerous to mention.
These divergent views on Jewish origins/identity has made it apparent to this author that a report on this subject is needed (in fact, some who have discussed this subject with me have urged the printing of a research report on Jewish origins and their modern identity). This report is being presented not as an exhaustive treatise on the subject, but rather as an effort to introduce essential information into this discussion.
Some readers will look at the title of this report and say: "Why write this material, everyone knows the Jews are Judah." It is equally true that others will have the following reaction: "No, the Jews are not Judah, they are actually Khazar-Edomites." This article is written from the viewpoint that God's Word, the Bible, is the arbiter of truth on all matters, and human opinions and theories must yield to the ultimate truth of the Word of God.
The author believes that modern Jews are the biblical, prophetic "House of Judah." The following material will demonstrate that the opposite view is not so much based on inaccurate, but rather incomplete, information. The pages that follow will present a faithful presentation of the Bible's information and prophecies on this subject. Presented below are several reasons why I believe that modern Jews are, indeed, the biblical and prophetic "house of Judah."

1: ZEPHANIAH'S PROPHECY:
JUDAH INHERITS THE COAST

GATHER YOURSELVES TOGETHER, YEA, GATHER TOGETHER, O NATION NOT DESIRED; [Zephaniah 2:1]

BEFORE THE DECREE BRING FORTH, BEFORE THE DAY PASS AS THE CHAFF, BEFORE THE FIERCE ANGER OF THE LORD COME UPON YOU, BEFORE THE DAY OF THE LORD'S ANGER COME UPON YOU. [Zephaniah 2:2]

SEEK YE THE LORD, ALL YE MEEK OF THE EARTH, WHICH HAVE WROUGHT HIS JUDGMENT; SEEK RIGHTEOUSNESS, SEEK MEEKNESS: IT MAY BE YE SHALL BE HID IN THE DAY OF THE LORD'S ANGER. [Zephaniah 2:3]

FOR GAZA SHALL BE FORSAKEN, AND ASHKELON DESOLATION: THEY SHALL DRIVE OUT ASHDOD AT THE NOON DAY, AND EKRON SHALL BE ROOTED UP. [Zephaniah 2:4]

WOE UNTO THE INHABITANTS OF THE SEA COAST, THE NATION OF THE CHERETHITES! THE WORD OF THE LORD IS AGAINST YOU; O CANAAN, THE LAND OF THE PHILISTINES, I WILL EVEN DESTROY THEE, THAT THERE SHALL BE NO INHABITANT. [Zephaniah 2:5]

AND THE SEA COAST SHALL BE DWELLINGS AND COTTAGES FOR SHEPHERDS, AND FOLDS FOR FLOCKS. [Zephaniah 2:6]

AND THE COAST SHALL BE FOR THE REMNANT OF THE HOUSE OF JUDAH; THEY SHALL FEED THEREUPON: IN THE HOUSES OF ASHKELON SHALL THEY LIE DOWN IN THE EVENING: FOR THE LORD THEIR GOD SHALL VISIT THEM, AND TURN AWAY THEIR CAPTIVITY. [Zephaniah 2:7]

Zephaniah chapter two begins with statements clearly indicating it is a "latter day" prophecy. Verse two sets the time-frame of this chapter as being just "before the day of the Lord's anger," and verse three reiterates that this prophecy applies to the time just prior to "the day of the Lord." Verses 4 - 5 pronounce "woe" upon the cities and inhabitants "of the seacoast," and it clear that the "seacoast" of Palestine is being discussed due to the mention of the cities of Gaza, Ashdod, and Ekron. Verse seven describes the "woe" that will befall these people (also called "Cherethites" and "Philistines" in verse 5) in the following prophecy of God:
"THE COAST SHALL BE FOR THE REMNANT OF JUDAH; THEY SHALL FEED THEREUPON; IN THE HOUSES OF ASHKELON SHALL THEY LIE DOWN IN THE EVENING; FOR THE LORD THEIR GOD SHALL VISIT THEM, AND TURN AWAY THEIR CAPTIVITY."
This prophecy clearly states that:
God will give the historic land of the Philistines (Palestine) to "Judah" just prior to the "day of the Lord."
It furthermore indicates that God was not going to "turn away [Judah's] captivity" until just prior to the day of the Lord. The phrase "turn away their captivity" is a bit clumsy; it simply means "end their captivity." In 1948, the Jewish nation called Israel was born in the "seacoast" region of old Palestine, fulfilling this prophecy. Indeed, the 1988 Edition of the Encyclopedia Americana notes this about Israel's population: "About 70% of it is concentrated in the Mediterranean coastal strip..." This is exactly what Zephaniah 2 prophesied would occur to Judah in the latter days.
Because the Jews had been a stateless people scattered among the nations for centuries (even millennia), the prophecy's language that their captivity would be "turned away" (i.e. "ended") is very descriptive of the fate of the Jews, a people who had not had their own nation for a very long time.
Furthermore, we must accept the fact that God, in his perfect knowledge, has always known where "the house of Judah" was! The historic fact is that God chose to use modern Jews to fulfill this prophecy about "the house of Judah." This is powerful evidence that modern Jews are the modern house of Judah. Zephaniah 2:6 also prophesies that agricultural pursuits were to prosper when the "house of Judah" reestablished a nation in Palestine, and much has been written documenting that the Israelis have "made the desert bloom" with their innovative, high-tech agricultural efforts.

2: THE PROPHECY OF ZECHARIAH
AND ITS FULFILLMENT:
JUDAH IN JERUSALEM

A prophecy in Zechariah 14 supports the above analysis of Zephaniah 2. Zechariah 14:1 begins with "Behold the day of the Lord cometh..." This is the same time frame as Zephaniah 2 (just prior to The Day of the Lord). Zechariah 14:2-3 prophesies that "all nations" will be gathered to battle in the region of Jerusalem, and that the Lord will come to fight against the nations attacking Jerusalem when "his feet shall stand on the mount of olives." Verse five adds that the Lord will bring "all the saints" with him (an obvious reference to the resurrection of the dead). The rest of the chapter gives more information about this climactic battle and the establishment of the Lord's rule on earth. Verse 14 states: "Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem." None of the other tribes of Israel is specifically mentioned in this prophecy, but "Judah" is there in sufficiently large numbers to warrant God's mentioning them by name. This is consistent with Zephaniah's prophecy that Judah will build a nation in Palestine in the latter days. Zechariah's prophecy indicates that Judah will be fighting to defend Jerusalem in a great war which climaxes with the return of the Conquering Messiah! What people now live in and have sovereignty over the city of Jerusalem? The Jews! Again, Bible prophecies for the latter days indicate that modern Jews are the house (or tribe) of Judah.
To conclude this point, it is acknowledged that placing the name "Israel" on the modern Jewish nation is a misnomer which causes much confusion to many students of the Bible. The Jewish state was named after the historic land of Israel, even though the people establishing the nation were from the house of Judah, not the house of Israel (the descendants of the ten tribes of Israel). A prophecy in Ezekiel 37:15-28 confirms that "Judah" and "Israel" will remain separate entities on the earth until they are reunited under a resurrected King David.
"...THE GOVERNORS OF JUDAH LIKE A HEARTH OF FIRE AMONG THE WOOD...AND THEY SHALL DEVOUR ALL THE PEOPLE ROUND ABOUT, ON THE RIGHT HAND AND ON THE LEFT: AND JERUSALEM SHALL BE INHABITED AGAIN IN HER OWN PLACE, EVEN IN JERUSALEM."
God prophesies that "Judah" would be a militarily victorious nation in the Mideast (the geographic setting of this entire chapter is the region around Jerusalem) during the latter days. This prophecy also indicates that Judah will "devour" the people who border them ("devour" indicates not just conquering people but an absorbing of their territory as well). This has been dramatically fulfilled by the Israelis in the Arab-Israeli wars of 1948, 1956, 1967 and 1973; the Israelis conquered ("devoured") territory all around them, taking control of the Egyptian Sinai, Syria's Golan Heights, the Gaza Strip and Jordan's West Bank. Some of this territory has been bartered away as part of the "Mideast Peace Process," but the prophecy was fulfilled nonetheless.
This prophecy also indicates a time will come when God will intervene personally to "save Judah" and "defend Jerusalem" (verses seven and eight). Zechariah 14 prophesies that Judah and Jerusalem will be invaded just prior to the Lord's return, and the phrase "mount of olives" in Zechariah 14:4 confirms the setting is the geographical city of Jerusalem in the modern Jewish nation.
Zechariah 12:9 prophesies the Messiah will "destroy" the nations that come against Jerusalem.
Zechariah 12 is a prophecy devoted to the reaction of the house of Judah (and Levi, a large percentage of whom remained with Judah) when the Messiah returns and saves them from imminent destruction. Many times the phrase "in that day" is repeated in this chapter, a phrase indicating the general time of the latter days and/or the day of the Lord. Verse two prophesies that God "will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling to all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege against Judah and Jerusalem." This parallels Zechariah 14 which speaks of a time when "all nations are gathered against Jerusalem." Notice that many nations are besieging "Judah and Jerusalem." The Bible presents "Judah and Jerusalem" as so closely linked with each other in the latter days that they are mentioned together. This has happened as the Israelis have made Jerusalem the capital of the Jewish state, and Jerusalem has become a "cup of trembling" (a major flashpoint) in world politics. Verse six prophesies that God will make:

3: FULFILLMENT OF GENESIS 49:
JUDAH A YOUNG NATION
AND AN OLD LION


Genesis 49 contains prophecies about the identities and roles of each of the tribes of Israel in the latter days. The prophecies about the tribes of the house of Israel (the northern ten tribes) are extensively discussed in chapter 11 of my book (The "Lost" Ten Tribes of Israel...Found!), but little was said about Judah as "Judah" was not the subject of that book. If this was an oversight, it will now be remedied. Genesis 49:8-12 states (emphasis added throughout):
"Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down before thee.
Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion; and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?
The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes: his eyes shall be red with wine and his teeth white with milk."
Judah will be a Young and Old Lion at One and the Same Time!
This prophecy reveals much information about modern Judah. To begin with, there is a seeming paradox in this prophecy: Judah is referred to as both a "lion's whelp" and "as an old lion." However, this actually fits the modern Jews/Israelis very well. The term "lion's whelp" (a young cub) predicts Judah will be a young (or recently-born) nation in the latter days: a fitting description of the young Israeli nation which was founded in 1948. This prophecy is very consistent with Zephaniah 2, which prophesied Judah would found a nation in Palestine just prior to "the day of the Lord." Yet, the Jews are also a people with a continuous history traceable for over three millennia, and they also had a nation in Palestine in ancient times (i.e. "as an old lion"). The Jews/Israelis fulfill this prophecy as they are a very young nation which was founded by a people with an ancient tradition and heritage.

Judah will be a Fighting Country!

Genesis 49:8-9 states Judah's "hand shall be in the neck of thy enemies," and refers to Judah "as a lion going up from the prey." This prophecy foretells that Judah will be an aggressive nation and victorious in warfare during the latter days, conquering its enemies like a lion brings down its prey. This has been amply fulfilled by Israeli victories in its wars, and this prophecy meshes perfectly with Zechariah 12:6's prophecy which states Judah would "devour" her enemies in the latter days. Not only have the Israelis been successful in warfare, they have leaped out at their enemies even as a lion leaps and stretches out toward its intended prey. The Israelis do not "run and hide" like a prey animal; they attack like a predator. They leaped out to attack their enemies in the 1976 raid on Entebbe, Uganda, and in their destruction of an Iraqi nuclear reactor in 1981 via a bold air strike.

4. JUDAH WILL BE A SUCCESSFUL FARMING NATION!


Surprisingly, after predicting military prowess for Judah, Genesis 49 next prophesies agricultural success for latter-day Judah. Notice the agricultural words printed in bold type in the above prophecy. Verses 11-12 predict Judah's agricultural success in the latter days, and the Israelis have truly "made the desert bloom" by applying advanced Western technology in an inherently dry climate. Confirming this fact, the Encyclopedia Americana [Vol. 15, p. 524] notes that "of the goods exported [by Israel] in the mid-1980's about one-third were agricultural”. Genesis 49:11-12 parallels Zephaniah 2:6's prophecy, further illustrating the consistency of the Bible's prophecies about Judah in the latter days.

Furthermore:

Judah will be Revered!

Genesis 49:1 also prophesies: "Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise." This has been fulfilled in the fact that modern Christendom widely regards the Jews as "the chosen people." Ironically, many of the Christians who regard the Jews as "the chosen people" are themselves Israelites (members of the ten tribes of Israel). Indeed, Christians have labelled the Jews as "the chosen people" even though the Jews have clearly inherited none of the birthright blessings promised to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob! It is the descendants of Ephraim and Manasseh (the British and Americans) who inherited the birthright promises of population growth, national wealth, empires, and control of strategic geographical "gates." Why have the other tribes acknowledged Judah's Israelite heritage even though they have lost sight of their own? Because the Jews have preserved identifiably Biblical customs such as the Sabbath, the holydays of Leviticus 23, and a diet avoiding "unclean" meats such as pork and shellfish. If the descendants of the ten tribes had also retained these biblical customs throughout history, their Israelite heritage would never have become obscured.

In addition:
The Kings of Israelite Nations will come from Judah!

It is further prophesied in Genesis 49:8 that: "thy father's children [the other tribes of Israel] shall bow down to thee." This is explained in verse 10, which states:
"The scepter [a symbol of kings] shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come: and unto him shall the gathering [hope, expectation] of the people be."
Beginning with the dynasty founded by Kings David and Solomon, there have always been Israelites of the various tribes ruled by monarchs descended from David and Solomon. The hereditary ruling houses of Europe can be traced to Davidic kings who once ruled over Scythian kingdoms and the widespread Parthian Empire of the ten tribes [in Asia] fulfills the prophecy of Genesis 49:3 and 10. The ancestry of the kings of England can be continuously traced to the ancient kings of Judah via the royal houses of Ireland and Scotland, and the seed of David was spread throughout the royal houses of Europe by frequent intermarriages among Europe's royalty.
Genesis 49:10 also prophesies that Judah will have kings ruling over the other tribes of Israel "until Shiloh come." This is a Messianic prophecy which predicts that David's bloodline will be present in the royal houses of the Israelite nations until the coming of the Messiah. Even though Europe's remaining royalty now have largely ceremonial roles, the prophecy has still been fulfilled. And, finally, it is the coming of the Messiah toward which the "hope" or "expectation" of both Christians and Jews is directed.
We see that the modern Jews and Israelis have fulfilled Genesis 49's prophecy about Judah in the latter days (in fact, no other people on earth do so). All prophecies about Judah in the latter days point to and are fulfilled by modern Jews/Israelis. Secular evidence supporting this identification will be given in another article.

Editor’s Comment: Some people may think it ridiculous that the question as to whether or not the Jews are Judah has to be even considered. Nevertheless the question does come up even from the least expected quarters and it helps to have true and ready answers.
These answers are derived from the Bible which is the most important sources we have.
Stephen Collins has written on this issue in the above article whereas we, in BRIT-AM, have added points of our own in a separate essay.
Our article on this subject should be considered alongside the present one.
Some of our points are summarized in the list below.

THE JEWS ARE JUDAH
THE BRIT-AM LIST:


Points Made by Stephen Collins and Brit-Am in Summary
Stephen Collins explained:
1. Zephaniah chapter two predicted the Judah would inherit the coastal regions of “Palestine” including Ashdod, Ekron, Ashkelon, and all the coastland when they return from their captivity.
2. Zechariah chapter 14 supplements Zephaniah and explains how the Jews of Judah will dwell in Jerusalem and fight in defence of Jerusalem during this same period. "Judah" would be a militarily victorious nation in the Middle East.
3. Genesis 49 also predicted that Judah in the Last Days will be like an old lion (an old nation) and a young lion (a reborn entity) fighting nation in the End Times that casts terror on those around her.
4. Genesis 49 also shows how the reborn State of Israel set up by Judah will be agriculturally prosperous.
The Jews in the present State of Israel have fulfilled all of the above conditions.
rose

In addition:
Brit-Am has shown how:
5. The Jews were persecuted by the Gentiles as it had been prophesied Judah would be:
Zechariah 1:15, Zechariah 8;13, Isaiah ch.53, Isaiah 42; 10, Psalm 44; 22
6. The Jews kept the Law as it had been prophesied that Judah would: Psalms 60; 9, 108; 90 Genesis 49; 10, Zechariah 8; 23
7. The Jews keep the four fasts of mourning over the Destruction of the Second Temple as prophesied by Zechariah 8:19
i.e.
THE FAST OF THE FOURTH MONTH, -17th Tammuz
THE FAST OF THE FIFTH, - 9th of Av
AND THE FAST OF THE SEVENTH, - 3rd of Tishrei (Gedaliah)
AND THE FAST OF THE TENTH, - 10th Tebeth (Tevet).
8. The Jewish State was to be named "Israel" (Isaiah 48:1).
9. The Return of Judah to the Land was to precede that of the other Tribes (Micah 4:6 Hosea 6:11).
10. The Jews would be identified as "Judah" (Genesis 49:10).
11. The Jews Meet all the Criteria of Judah.
12. The Jews would have suffered for being Jewish whereas the other ytribes would not therefore the Jews at first would be loathe to recognize the Israelite Origins of the other tribes (Isaiah 49:21).

NAACP is worse than the Nazis

The racist NAACP is an illegitimate organization that should be disbanded. It is worse than the Nazis and Ku Klux Klan because it pretends to be something different and better when it's not - it's all about being black and getting ahead at others' expense, advancing their colored people to the detriment of other colored people who happen to be white (no fault of their own).

Editorials in Support of Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury


"Bangladesh may now be among the world's most dangerous countries for journalists. That makes Mr. Choudhury's courageous stand for Muslim-Jewish dialogue all the more admirable and vital to defend".

The New York Times


************


"The Bush administration, which every year spends some $64 million on Bangladesh, has made a priority of identifying moderate Muslims and giving them the space and cover they need to spread their ideas. Mr. Choudhury has identified himself, at huge personal risk, as one such Muslim. Now that he is on the run, somewhere in the darkness of Dhaka, will someone in the administration pick up the phone and explain to the Bangladeshis just what America expects of its 'moderate and tolerant' friends?"

The Wall Street Journal


************


"The United States must encourage people like Mr. Choudhury to speak out. But when they do, it must also do all it can to protect them. Freeing Mr. Choudhury will tell others like him that when you stand against Islamists, the United States will stand with you".

The Washington Times


************


"This is why we ought to be taking notice of Choudhury. It's not just a question of saving one man's life. He is part of a threat that is facing all of us. And he is on the right side in a very long battle of ideas".

The Australian


************


"Mr. Choudhury is a man in the mold of such heroes of freedom as Václav Havel and Lech Walesa".

The New York Sun


************


"Despite the dire circumstances in which he finds himself, Choudhury remains strong, upbeat and determined".

The Jerusalem Post


************


"In a world where radical Islam is on the march, threatening moderate Muslims and non-Muslims alike, outspoken and fearless individuals like Mr. Choudhury deserve our full support. It is they, after all, who are on the front lines".

The Jewish Week


************


"Would Choudhury consider it, if along with this acknowledgment the request also nevertheless came to give up his fight and to free the family from their state of siege? The family would have enough money to lead a calm life abroad, and they would have a good chance of leaving Bangladesh despite the current legal proceedings. But for Choudhury his struggle has long ago become his. 'Who leaves the battleground, has lost', he says. 'However, whoever struggles for the right cause always wins'".

The Berliner Zeitung


************


"They are neither. They work alone, with no support, forging ahead to bring the truth into the open. The International Press Freedom Awards that recognizes courage in journalism is an important event that brings the plight of these journalists to light. But it's not enough. They deserve encouragement and support because in dangerous situations, they champion everything we hold dear, and often take for granted".

The Suburbun

General Support for Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury


"Now that we've found a man willing to advocate for peace and denounce extremism, we must seize the opportunity. No one else will speak out if we allow those who already have spoken to die".

Gabriel Oppenheim
The Daily Pennsylvanian


************


"So there will be no marches on Bangladesh High Commissions, no boycott calls from humbugging academics, no impassioned leading articles or op-eds in the posh papers in solidarity with one of their own profession who is being persecuted for telling the truth. Shameful —- and short-sighted. For the fate of Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury is our own".

Melanie Phillips
The Daily Mail

************


"While Taj al-Din al-Hilali is now an international star, having attracted worldwide headlines for his recent outpouring of Western hatred, another Muslim man has barely registered on the media's radar screen. This man is facing the death penalty charged with blasphemy, sedition and treason. He was in court on Monday. His crime? He has been advocating peace between Muslims and the West. You won't have heard of this man. But it's time you did. From a small country half a world away, Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury is fighting Islamic extremism the only way he can: With words and ideas".

Janet Albrechisen
The Australian


************


"In this tense atmosphere, Choudhury has paid a very heavy price for his beliefs. In November, 2003, he was arrested at Dhaka's international airport just prior to boarding a flight on his way to Israel, where he had been scheduled to deliver an address on promoting understanding between Muslims and Jews. His visit to Israel would have been the first by a Bangladeshi journalist".

Michael Freund
The Jerusalem Post


************


"Shoaib is an outspoken supporter of Muslim-Jewish and Muslim-Christian dialogue, opposes anti-Israel maximalism and has exposed the agents and activities of Islamists who have been gaining in strength and influence in his country".

Jeremy Jones
The Australian Israel Review


************


"I am reminded of a Jewish proverb that teaches us to be wise not in words but in deeds. Choudhury's deeds have brought wisdom and understanding to his country, paving the way for the peace we all desire. We could all learn from this example, and we can start by fighting Choudhury’s unfair persecution".

Anthony Weiner
The Jewish Press


************


"Surprisingly, after years of being prevented from traveling abroad, he was allowed to come to the U.S. for a week. But afterwards, he was to return to Dhaka and danger. Choudhury, the publisher and editor of a weekly English-language newspaper, has been charged with treason, sedition, and blasphemy. His alleged crimes? Advocating relations between Bangladesh and Israel, promoting interfaith respect and tolerance, and denouncing Islamic radicalism. For these transgressions, he could be sentenced to death. As it is, he's already been imprisoned, placed in isolation and tortured, while his newspaper's offices have been bombed twice".

David Harris
The Jewish Week

"He is a person who, because of his beliefs, is willing to go to jail and face persecution like Jews in other countries who have endured hardship, jailed because of their beliefs".

"The Talmud says that to save one person is to save a whole world. Know this: For every Shoaib Choudhury willing to risk his life to save his people from tyranny and ignorance, there is a world of others who want to speak out but are afraid. Their future ability to add their voices to his depends on the Western world’s response to him, and they are eagerly watching".

"The promise of 70 virgins in return for a suicidal act in which the perpetrator also kills innocent human beings is, Choudhury said, religion in bad taste. It is also a false reading of the Koran, and therefore not true Islam, he said, yet it is the form of Islam being taught to Muslim youth around the world.

He was asked about the madrassas -- could they produce educated professionals, like doctors, lawyers, and businessmen and women? They can produce lots of educated terrorists, Choudhury responded, and then asked: Can a winery produce iron?"

"Forty-two years old, Choudhury is that rarest of breed, a faithful Moslem who, in the belly of the beast, publicly dissents from the stifling orthodoxy of hatred and extremism that characterizes the Islamic world. There are a handful of other outspoken Moslem-born men and women (mainly the latter), but while their heroism is unquestionable, most live in the West where, although their lives remain in danger, their right to speak is at least upheld by the government. Choudhury lives in Bangladesh where he is currently on trial on spurious charges of sedition, treason and blasphemy before an Islamist judge and faces the death penalty".

Overt Plans for New Israeli Government

Here is an excerpt from an invitation I've received from Shmuel HaLevi to attend Hashkem Yisrael's conference in Jerusalem on legally changing Israel's government to insure Jewish survival:

Our fate is in our hands גרלנו בידנו

"Should, hereafter, those incited by the lust of power and prompted by the Supineness or venality of their Constituents, overleap the known barriers of this Constitution and violate the unalienable rights of humanity: it will only serve to shew, that no compact among men (however provident in its construction and sacred in its ratification) can be pronounced everlasting an inviolable." ---

George Washington, First Inaugural Address

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to this victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague."

Marcus Tullius Cicero, Roman Lawyer, Scholar, Orator and Statesman 106-43BC

JEWISH NATIONAL CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION

It is incumbent upon the People to determine the fitness of their government system and the people therein. That right is an inalienable one. It has come to pass that the Israeli post Oslo system and government operatives have consistently proven to the majority of the Jewish people that the government system and in particular certain elements that have taken residence within it, are utterly unfit to carry out the functions of a Jewish state on the Jewish Nation's behalf. The evidence of unfitness and ill purpose is overwhelming.

“GOI (*Government of Israel" - See Note at the end of this document)”

The legitimate use of the police and the armed forces is to defend the society and the country from its enemies; its domestic criminal elements, in the case of the police; foreign enemies hostile to the State of Israel, in the case of Tsahal. When the GO recruited psychopath squads and turned them against Israeli citizens, who had committed no crimes, nor had they acted inimically toward the state, to brutalize them and violate their human and civil rights, the GOI forfeited any claim to legitimacy.

Predicated upon that somber reality RADIO FREE ISRAEL - HASHKEM and other Jewish Patriots call upon all of you to participate in a National Convention to take place in Jerusalem. The Convention is being organized with the intent of providing our Nation with a New System of Government. It will have as one of its objectives electing a Jewish National Constitutional Assembly and Council (JNCAC). The composition of both bodies shall be made through elections at the Convention level and later ratified at a General Election. The JNCAC could be equated, in turn, to a "government in waiting." This will be an OVERGROUND activity, resident in Eretz Israel and represented in all possible Jewish Diaspora locations of the Jewish Nation.

NOTE: The Hebrew and Russian translation of this document will be issued shortly.

PEACE OR WAR

Israel has not known one second of peace since 1948, but not only since then, as before that date war was waged against Jews here and elsewhere without solution of continuity. Our desire for real peace is predicated upon our millennium old beliefs as a Nation and its realization solely depends upon the enemy accepting some basic principles including but not limited to that of co existence. They must accept facts as they are consequent to their repeated aggressions. Alternatively the People is prepared to return war against any and all warlike actions intended to harm in any way our People and Heritage. We solemnly declare that identified Jewish people have no intention to relinquish Jewish National Heritage to inimical groups be they foreigners or local. The new "government in waiting" and persons therein will seek the People's support to void any and all arrangements made by anyone to the contrary.

Territorial LIMITS OF ERETZ ISRAEL

The Limits of our Land are those specifically determined in our ancestral records. The UN, special aggregates of various & sundry Nations need not be encumbered by attempting to re define our Heritage... Reality is though that usurpers have settled in our Land after the consecutive barbaric assaults by European invaders. How to address that reality is one of the key subjects to be dealt with by the Conference and subsequent Assembly and Council.

KEY OBJECTIVE

We propose the formation of a completely new Jewish National Government-in-waiting structure and functionaries. That would emerge from the Convention. Its activation will occur after ratification via DEMOCRATIC SPECIAL ELECTIONS. The new government system shall replace the present system.

SPECIAL ELECTIONS TO THE Jewish NATIONAL ASSEMBLY: It shall be a general election called by the Council, which is to be elected during the Convention. The general election shall be open to all qualified voters. The Assembly will determine all details to be taken into account for such massive activity.

OTHER PLANS: The Plenum will welcome all other Jewish Law-based plans leading to the regime change required to rescue Eretz Israel and safeguard its well-being. Besides the Proposal herein for the DEMOCRATIC election of a Constitutional Presidential system, including a two-Chamber Parliament, we welcome all other Proposals. So far we are aware of the following plans in addition to the one proposed herein:

Mr. David Bedein has sent to us his proposal to address a key element of the overall Jewish National quagmire -- U.S.-Israeli relations. His proposal is most welcome and will be made available at the Convention upon his consent.

Mr. Yerachmiel Elias proposes that the delegates to the Convention re assess the Jewish State's connections to the UN.

Professor Paul Eidelberg has developed an excellent Constitutional framework which would be a welcome item for consideration by the Assembly, should he desire to present it. He has also proposed an interim Government to be formed and that to be headed by General Ya'alon and seven other persons. The persons involved are welcome to address the Assembly on those plans and to seek the elected Representatives' support.

DATE: The Convention will be in Jerusalem, and must take place as early as possible during this calendar year. We are keying for November 2007. Those attending should make arrangements for at least three days of deliberations. Further details will be made available as the planning advances.

CONVENTION ORGANIZATION Committee: The following functions are to be assigned: Protocol & Symbols, Advertising, Secretary of Records. Press Secretariat. Reception. Security. Medical support, Food services and Kashrus, Logistics. Legal Counsel. Finances & Insurance. International relations. We urge you to propose candidates for those functions.

CONVENTION SPECIAL FACILITIES: Radio Free Israel has prepared the required systems to broadcast most of the Conference Proceedings via INTERNET. Other friendly and established Radio and TV Internet stations as well as others are welcome to participate as well. Alternative broadcasting systems are also on stand by. We suggest those persons overseas willing to participate from their locations to contact us via SKYPE to set up the required links in coordination with RFI's technical staff.

Further. Absentee participants, overseas residents only or persons with health limitations may submit to the Secretariat written and signed position papers they wish to present to the Plenum. Those will be read to the Plenum Meeting by Secretariat personnel.

Invitation disclaimers: The list posted herein includes persons considered key to the deliberations. They have neither agreed to participate nor have been consulted before this open invitation. They will be sent the invitation via Bcc form or regular mail to avoid possible misuse of their email addresses. Anyone may request removal from the Invitation List. In addition, others may request inclusion to the list.

TORAH and Its Laws:

The deliberations and decisions must adhere to Jewish Law, values, ethics and heritage as they are detailed in the Torah. We at Radio Free Israel understand that as follows: Representatives to the Assembly shall respect the Laws as well as the forms of interrelations existing among different sectors of the Jewish Nation and its non-Jewish friends. To that end, we propose that a number of respected observers act as part of a Jewish Law & Ethics Steering Committee (JLESC). To be elected to that key commission, candidates must attend the Convention as representatives and must be elected by the Plenum. We ask you to propose recognized personalities to be specially invited to the Convention.

Preliminary list of suggested members for the JLESC

Rav Yisrael Schneiderman

Rav Avraham Greenbaum, Jerusalem

Rav Avraham Twersky, Jerusalem

Rav Dov Lior

The Convention is a test of commitment. Persons attending may, if they so desire, be considered as candidates for office. There may not be "set aside" reserved slots or roles. It is our position that those expecting to have a role in the Convention or in considering the resolutions must attend and contribute to the success of the Convention. The elected Assembly and Council shall assume executive positions.

BACKGROUND

It is our belief that the Oslo-based political system, mainly an exclusive, elitist, self-serving apparatus, has collapsed. In consequence, Zionism has fallen into the hands of said post-Jewish cadres, and in that configuration has collapsed -- and with it, so has ended the GoI's right to govern the Jewish Nation. Pronouncements such as: "We have become tired of fighting; tired of winning; tired of defeating our enemies," are the leit motif of the post-Jewish leadership. In reality, Olmert, himself, who is "enjoying" the support of barely 9% of the people, said that the post-Zionist cadre, by any other name, is tired/refuses to defend the Jewish Nation and is tired/refuses to be Jewish. Their coordinated assaults against Jews and Jewish towns, synagogues, schools, heritage and people are corollary of such collapse.

Informed people have, for some time - even before that blunt pronunciation by one of the worst "leaders" ever - detected the terminal lack of connection of the GOI to Jewish Laws, values, heritage, national rights and aspirations. In fact, large numbers of those in that strata have not even a connection to the most common decency. The GoI is viewed as a massively corrupt organization; one that is intrinsically and willfully dangerous to the Nation. The same people have, for decades, engaged in "arrangements," bribery, fraud, blackmail and intimidation to maintain their hold on power, while serving foreign interests that finance their anti-Jewish activities. It is clear that, as consequence of the nefarious Oslo system actions and intentional inactions, THE NATION FACES A CRITICAL SITUATION. The most critical since the Holocaust.

Tragically, it has become apparent that the sequential debacles could well have been intentionally triggered and developed - starting in Oslo and continuing thru the "disengagement" Pogrom - to cause the complete collapse of the nation 's Jewish roots.

CONCLUSION:

The Call for the Convention represents our understanding that our Nation must adopt - now and without delay - a new system of government and a new leadership, and that those must replace the Oslo-tailored one . After repeated and predictable inbred "election" results, it is absolutely clear that solutions for the disastrous National conditions cannot possibly be expected to come from within the same corrupt and destructive system that is in place: the GoI, as well as the "pollsters," "news fabricators" and manipulators who, for decades, have been part of the post-Jewish, state-controlled media.

This call for reconstruction is our conception of what is required to address the National quagmire...and to so do in adherence with and predicated upon Jewish Ancestral Laws, Heritage and National interests. It is time, and quite probably, vanishing time, to demonstrate unity of Jewish intent and Jewish leadership based on that set of laws, principles and values included in the Torah.

It is envisioned that the new Jewish National Constitutional Assembly & Council shall include honorable persons. It will not include present functionaries of the GoI if those functionaries are not previously cleared by the elected Council, Security Section.
We anticipate massive actions by the GoI to sabotage our deliberations and further activities.

Thank you note:

We thank all the Patriots for promoting our suggestion to consolidate the start of the Jewish National Overground Reconstruction Process.

The following lists are open for you to add other persons or organizations and/or to add action items to those proposed herein to be reviewed and approved for action at the Convention. We welcome every person who may contribute to this National Overground Reconstruction proposal. There are no political barriers for representation, except for members of political parties or organizations associated with or leaders of those denying the sole rights of the Jewish Nation to the whole of Eretz Israel.

The Convention is envisioned to be able, by vote, to form relevant Commissions specialized on the various facets of the emerging National Assembly tasks.

We will defer to Professor Paul Eidelberg' s and eminent Jurists' proposals on this subject.

It will be proposed to the Plenum that the Jewish State be made up of provinces or Matot, the limits of which are those already in place. Each Mateh would be entitled to vote its own directly-elected regional Representatives to the Jewish National Assembly; Judges, Public defenders and Prosecutors, General Services heads, Sheriffs and other Regional government functionaries. The Jewish National Council, once formally and freely elected by the Pledged Citizens, will replace the State Ministerial hierarchy...

German collaboration for radical militarization

Here are some more facts of the troubling trends in Germany that will affect all Europe and the world, even as Herbert W. Armstrong warned:

Newsletter 2007/09/18 - To Corner

BERLIN (Own report) - With his resolute plea for German Army (Bundeswehr) intervention in the domestic affairs of the country, the Minister of Defense, Franz-Josef Jung, (CDU) is advancing strategies of the German military elite (the "strategic community"). He announced last weekend that the Air Force could be ordered to shoot down hijacked passenger jet liners - if necessary in violation of the German Constitution. This demand corresponds to considerations being advanced since some time by the Bundesakademie fьr Sicherheitspolitik in Berlin (BAKS, Federal College for Security Studies) which include also plans to alter "essential sections" of the Constitution. To reach this objective, the BAKS has been working for years to establish a network in the various ministries, enterprises and the media. And the chancellery is helping. President Horst Kцhler is supportive of these activities. On September 14 at the Bundeswehr's Leadership Academy, in Hamburg, he demanded that the military elite intervene more than previously in debates on German security policy and "efficiently corner the leadership personnel of the state, the economy and the society". Berlin's projects would signify a radical militarization of life in the society.

Whereas most Germans are not aware of vile intentions of influential Germans under Jesuit influence to revive the unholy Roman Empire of the German Nation, the Fourth Reich, to embark on a new crusade into the Middle East, Beyond Babylon: Europe's Rise and Fall bares their grand design before the world: the German-Assyrians will strike again!

The Atlantic Times, regardless of whether or not they believe any of this prophetic scenario possible, owes it to their readers to address this issue that is most serious to a growing number of Bible-believing Christians and many Jews. Can we trust them to deliver?

Black racists support Jena savages

"St. John's African-American Assembly... UT's Black Student Union...[Bowling Green State University] Black Student Union...NAACP." Get the picture? All this in one Toledo Blade article about area campuses jumping on the black bandwagon to make martyrs out of thugs and feel smug about it and pretend racism is a one way street.
Where is the White-American Assembly, UT's White Student Union, Bowling Green State University White Student Union, NAAWP? Oh, but that would be "racist," wouldn't it? How glaring the double-standards continue to be -- a deplorable status quo that must end.
The institutionalized racism of reverse discrimination has got to go! No more racist "affirmative action" or quotas or hide behind the color of your skin because you lack character or qualifications!
With so many black men pretending to be ministers, racist pimps from the pulpit, you wouldn't think that the black community would have such disproportionate amount of criminals and such an outrageous rate of illegitimacy. Black community: preach to yourself! Stop blaming others for your own self-inflicted problems. Stop proving stereotypes about you are too often true; everything from you don't fight your own battles but gang up on somebody (like the black "Jena 6" against the white "Jena 1"); you're not working and supposedly can't afford to pay for your own food and housing but find the time and money to make banners and posters and tee shirts and take a joy trip down South feeling important. Educated white folks (Euro-Americans, British-Americans, Irish-Americans, Italian-Americans, German-Americans, Scottish-Americans, Dutch-Americans, French-Americans, Greek-Americans, Norwegian-Americans, etc.) just shake their heads in dismay at such stupidity and misguided zeal.
Instead of trying to intimidate the justice system in Jena to pervert justice and let thugs go free, accusing them of throwing away the future of those six blacks who savagely beat the one white student, teach your illegitimate children to be responsible and stop throwing away their future by gang-banging, selling drugs, etc. Oh, but that demands at least one parent they can claim who cares enough before they get into trouble with the law and then suddenly find family and friends expressing "righteous indignation" and interest in the case.
Where are the parents of that six pack? Didn't they teach them to cherish diversity? To respect freedom of speech? Understand different views? Instead they resorted to violence to express themselves like brute beasts who can't debate or exercise enough self-control to engage in civil disobedience.
