Wake up people. Christ’s KIngdom is NOT of this world. He told us it’s not in John 18:36: “Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.”

It is neither our place to build Christ’s Kingdom, nor is it our place to blindly support madmen wearing sheepskin marked “Israel” and “Christian’. We are told we can tell what lies below the surface of these people by their fruit. Who has seen anything but blood lust, bribary, and anti-freedom / anti-Christian behavior come out of the Olmert amd/or Bush administrations?

“Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is suspected of having taken envelopes full of cash from a U.S. businessman, the chief prosecutor said on Monday in his most graphic public account of a corruption case against Olmert.

Olmert has denied any wrongdoing in the case, which threatens to force him from office and disrupt his U.S.-brokered peace negotiations with the Palestinians.

State Prosecutor Moshe Lador, speaking at a Supreme Court hearing, said investigators suspected New York businessman Morris Talansky had given Olmert “dollars, in cash and in envelopes, during brief meetings from time to time”.

Olmert’s attorneys were petitioning the Supreme Court to reverse a lower court’s decision to hear preliminary testimony from Talansky, currently visiting Israel, before he returns to the United States.

The Supreme Court did not immediately rule on the argument that such testimony, at an early stage of the investigation, would impinge on Olmert’s right to a fair trial by effectively indicting him before any formal charges were brought.

Olmert acknowledged this month that Talansky had raised funds for his two successful campaigns for mayor of Jerusalem in 1993 and 1998, a failed bid to lead the right-wing Likud party in 1999 and a further internal Likud election in 2002.

The prime minister said his former law partner had handled the details, and voiced confidence that the attorney had made sure proper procedures were followed.

Israeli law broadly prohibits political donations of more than a few hundred dollars.

Police have said Olmert is suspected of taking “significant sums of money from a foreigner or a number of foreign individuals over an extended period of time”.

A judicial source said the sums involved totalled hundreds of thousands of dollars.

On Sunday, Attorney-General Menachem Mazuz said the investigation, one of several focusing on corruption suspicions against Olmert, would not be finished any time soon.

Police say they intend to question Olmert for a second time within the next few days.”

The first time was in 2005 when Ahmadinejad hoped that Israel would be eradicated from the Middle East map.

“This terrorist and criminal state is backed by foreign powers, but this regime would soon be swept away by the Palestinians,” Ahmadinejad said in a press conference in Tehran.

Referring to worldwide celebrations for the 60th anniversary of Israel’s foundation, he said that “it would be futile to hold a birthday ceremony for something which is already dead.”

“As far as the regional countries are concerned, this regime does not exist,” Ahmadinejad added.

The Iranian president said last week that the anniversary feasts could not save this “rotten and stinking corpse.”

Ahmadinejad caused international outrage in the past by hoping for the eradication of Israel, the relocation of the Jewish state to Europe or Alaska and questioning the historic dimensions of the Holocaust.

Ahmadinejad: Israel to be ’swept away soon’ : Middle East World

New museum with Temple replica to be erected opposite Western Wall. Project’s sponsors include actors Kirk, Michael Douglas

A grandiose museum featuring an elaborated massive replica of the Temple is currently being erected opposite the Western Wall.

The amphitheater will feature a three-dimensional film depicting the history of the Jewish nation over a huge glass screen through which one can see the Western Wall. The museum will also include a learning center with a VIP wing to host movie stars, politicians and other celebrities from Israel and abroad.

The company in charge of the museum’s construction is the same international company that built visitor sites such as the Tower of London Museum and the World Museum Liverpool. The Aloni Company will provide special technology that handles marble polishing for reproducing historical ornamentation.

Ephraim Shor, in charge of the museum curation on behalf of the Yeshiva, commented that “this will be an audio-visual experience incorporating scents, so that the act of entering the Temple will be done with awe of God.”

So while the Sean Hannity’s of the world scream bloody murder about Jimmy Carter and Hamas, remember that it is the Bush and Olmert governments that are funding the rise of terrorism in the Middle East. 

Israeli officials here are giving former president Jimmy Carter the cold shoulder for his plans to meet the chief of the Hamas terrorist group, which the U.S. and Israel have been attempting to isolate. 
 
The State Department and its director, Condoleezza Rice, even criticized Carter for his reported plans to meet Hamas.
 
But the Israeli government and Rice have no moral authority whatsoever to judge Carter while they are enabling terrorists far more active than Hamas.
 
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Foreign Minister Tzippy Livni, and Defense Minister Ehud Barak all reportedly turned down requests to see Carter, who arrived in Israel today and is due in Syria later this week, where he is likely to meet Hamas chieftain Khaled Meshaal, who resides under protection in Damascus.
 
The State Department says it twice advised Carter against meeting any Hamas representative. Rice told reporters this weekend she finds it “hard to understand what is going to be gained by having discussions with Hamas about peace when Hamas is, in fact, the impediment to peace.”
 
Hamas is listed by the State Department as a terrorist organization. The group is responsible for scores of deadly suicide bombings, and thousands of shooting attacks and rocket firings against civilian population centers.

Meanwhile, in a furious drive to reach an Israeli-Palestinian agreement, the U.S. and the Israeli government are arming, training, financing and even pardoning the most active Palestinian terrorist group.
 
U.S. policy considers Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah organization to be moderate, even though Fatah’s military wing, the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, is listed by the State Department as a terror group, just like Hamas. 
 
Fatah’s Brigades is statistically responsible for more anti-Israel terrorism the past eight years than Hamas. The group took responsibility, along with the Islamic Jihad terror organization, for every suicide bombing in Israel since 2005 and for thousands of shootings and rocket attacks, including recent high-profile terrorist operations.
 
Still, U.S.-backed negotiations started at last November’s Annapolis conference seeks to give Abbas’ Fatah a Palestinian state, likely in the West Bank and eastern Jerusalem, before the end of the year. 
 
For almost 10 years now the U.S. has been operating training bases for Fatah’s security forces, including its police, intelligence, Force 17 and Preventative Security services units. Many members of those units carried out scores of terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians and soldiers.
 
Hundreds of members of Fatah’s Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades serve openly in Fatah’s security forces; many previously attended U.S.-run courses as members of Fatah’s security forces. 
 
For example, the chief of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades in the West Bank city of Ramallah was trained by the U.S. and currently also serves as a Fatah security officer. Ditto for the chief of the Brigades in Nablus.
 
Another example, Abbas previously appointed Al Aska Martyrs Brigades commander Mahmoud Damra as head the U.S.-backed Force 17 force, with which American coordinates security. Damra, who was on Israel’s most wanted list of terrorists, was later arrested by the IDF for planning terror attacks.
 
The very people who are condemning Carter for planning to meet Hamas are negotiating in person on a regular basis with terrorist-saturated Fatah. Livni and chief Palestinian negotiator Ahmed Qureia have been meeting weekly while Olmert and Abbas have been meeting biweekly to hammer out an agreement. Abbas is due in Washington this month for talks with Rice and President Bush.
 
You’d think since Israel is heavily negotiating with Fatah, the Palestinian organization’s gunmen would refrain from attacks for just a few months until an agreement is signed. But since the November conference, Fatah has perpetuated or attempted scores of terror attacks.
 
For sanctity of space, here are just a few out of nearly 50 attacks since November:

• Last week, Fatah Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades members infiltrated the Gaza-Israel border in an attempt to kidnap Israeli troops.  The terrorists shot dead two Israeli civilians. The Brigades, Islamic Jihad and the Popular Resistance Committees claimed responsibility.

•  It was released for publication last week Fatah’s Brigades planned to poison an Israeli restaurant with a white, odorless deadly poison that takes effect five hours after ingestion.

• Earlier this month, a Brigades member was shot dead while trying to attack two Israeli hitchhikers with a knife.

• Last month’s Jerusalem seminary shooting massacre, in which eight yeshiva students were gunned down in cold blood, was planned by Al Aqsa Brigades leader and outspoken Fatah activist Muhammad Shehadi, who even ran as a Fatah member in Palestinian municipal elections, according to security sources. 

• The IDF killed Shehadi a week after the attack. As WND reported, an official delegation from Abbas’ Fatah organization, including officials involved in negotiations, visited the Shehadi family morning tent in Bethlehem.

• Fatah’s Brigades took credit for a February suicide bombing along with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine in the southern Israeli Negev town of Dimona. One woman was killed in the attack. Other groups also later took credit.

• Brigades leaders in January called WND to take credit for two simultaneous terror attacks in the vicinity of Jerusalem. Terrorists fired on Israelis at the entrance to the Shoafat refugee camp north of Jerusalem, killing one and injuring another. At the same time, two terrorists stabbed two Israelis at the settlement of Kfar Etzion. The terrorists were shot and killed.

• In January, the Brigades claimed credit in a news conference for killing off-duty Israeli soldiers Ahikam Amihai and David Rubin as they were hiking with a woman just outside Hebron. Israel’s Shin Bet Security Services announced the two main culprits in the attack were members of Fatah’s U.S.-trained security forces and the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades.

After all this, logic would dictate someone at the State Department or in Olmert’s office would call off negotiations with Abbas until attacks are halted or at least ask for a commitment to end the Fatah terrorism.
 
Instead, as has been widely reported, the U.S. last month commenced elite training courses in Jordan and the West Bank city of Jericho to help establish a stronger Palestinian police force run by Fatah.

Also, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak, another critic of Carter’s slated Hamas meet, agreed this month to supply the PA police with ammunition, rubber bullets and night-vision equipment and to allow the transfer of 50 armed jeeps to the force. 
 
So now, after Barak’s gesture, Fatah terrorists can scout Jewish targets in the dark with Israeli-provided night-vision goggles, shoot at Jews with Israeli-transferred bullets and retreat into their Israeli-transferred armored vehicles to fend of any IDF fire.
 
The U.S. and Israel continue to play a deadly game where Hamas are the “bad” terrorists while the more active Fatah are the “good” terrorists.
 
There is no question Carter, whose views on Israel are well known, is up to no good in meeting with Hamas. He would become the most high-profile American figure to sit down with the terrorist group. His visit could be the break in the dam Hamas has been looking for to end the terror group’s international isolation, leading the way to contacts between Hamas and European leaders and eventually even with American diplomats.
 
Carter should rightly be condemned. But Rice and the Israeli government have lost the high ground at opposing anyone who bolsters terrorists.

U.S., Israel have no moral authority to oppose Carter

The plan, divided into separate phases, among other things calls for Israel eventually to forfeit parts of the Temple Mount, Judaism’s holiest site.

According to the first stage of the U.S. plan, which was obtained by WND, Israel would give the PA some municipal and security sovereignty over key Arab neighborhoods in eastern Jerusalem.

The PA would be allowed to open some official institutions in Jerusalem, could elect a mayor for the Palestinian side of the city and would deploy police forces to maintain law and order.
The initial stage also calls for the PA to operate Jerusalem municipal institutions, such as offices to oversee trash collection and maintenance of roads.

After five years, if both sides keep their certain commitments called for in a larger principal agreement, according to the U.S. plan the PA would be given full sovereignty over the eastern Jerusalem neighborhoods and also over sections of the Temple Mount. The plan doesn’t specify which parts of the Temple Mount would be forfeited to the Palestinians.

After the five year period, the PA could deploy official security forces in Jerusalem separate from a police force and could also open major governmental institutions, such as a president’s office, and offices for the finance and foreign ministries.

The U.S. plan leaves Israel and the PA to negotiate which Jerusalem neighborhoods would become Palestinian. According to diplomatic sources familiar with the plan, while specific neighborhoods were not officially listed, American officials recommended sections of Jerusalem’s Old City as well as certain largely Arab Jerusalem neighborhoods such as Jabal mukabar, Beit Hanina, Shoafat, Abu Dis and Abu Tur become part of the Palestinian side.

As WND reported previously, many of the Arab neighborhoods of Jerusalem, including all of Shoafat, a large Arab section, were constructed illegally on property owned by the Jewish National Fund, a Jewish nonprofit that purchases property using Jewish donors funds for the stated purpose of Jewish settlement.

According to diplomatic sources, the plan is being discussed by Israel and the PA but has not yet been accepted.

The sources said the plan was delivered earlier this month by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice during her trip to the region to push Israeli-Palestinian negotiations started at last November’s U.S.-backed Annapolis summit, which aimed to create a Palestinian state before the end of the year.

Since Annapolis, negotiating teams including Israeli Foreign Minister Tzippy Livni and chief Palestinian negotiator Ahmed Qureia have been meeting weekly while Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and PA President Mahmoud Abbas have been meeting biweekly.

The U.S. is “very deeply involved” in all aspects of the negotiations, according to a top diplomatic source.

To demonstrate the level of U.S. involvement, the source pointed to recent U.S. supervision of Israeli commitments to dismantle about 50 West Bank anti-terror roadblocks and to bulldoze what are called illegal outposts, or West Bank Jewish communities constructed without government permits.

“The U.S. oversaw the removal of each and every roadblock, making sure the roadblocks were actually removed,” said the source.

“Also, even though Israel prepared a report of all illegal outposts and handed it to the Americans, U.S. officials have been doing their own very specific independent investigating to find each and every illegal outpost and then oversee their dismantlement,” the source said.

Olmert’s government has hinted a number of times it will divide Jerusalem.

In December, Israeli Vice Premier Haim Ramon said the country “must” give up sections of Jerusalem for a future Palestinian state, even conceding the Palestinians can rename Jerusalem “to whatever they want.”

“We must come today and say, friends, the Jewish neighborhoods, including Har Homa, will remain under Israeli sovereignty, and the Arab neighborhoods will be the Palestinian capital, which they will call Jerusalem or whatever they want,” said Ramon during an interview.

Positions held by Ramon, a ranking member of Olmert’s Kadima party, are largely considered to be reflective of Israeli government policy.

Olmert himself recently questioned whether it was “really necessary” to retain Arab-majority eastern sections of Jerusalem.

Israel recaptured eastern Jerusalem, including the Temple Mount – Judaism’s holiest site – during the 1967 Six Day War. The Palestinians have claimed eastern Jerusalem as a future capital; the area has large Arab neighborhoods, a significant Jewish population and sites holy to Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

About 231,000 Arabs live in Jerusalem, mostly in eastern neighborhoods, and many reside in illegally constructed complexes. The city has an estimated total population of 724,000.

“I hope that President Abbas and Prime Minister Olmert can sign an agreement before the end of my presidency (in January) that defines a clearly-outlined Palestinian state,” daily Die Welt quoted Bush as saying.

“This could then immediately take shape when the conditions of the ‘Road Map’ are fulfilled,” he said.

“But the first step must be the clear definition of the Palestinian state. I hope it’s possible. And I have an optimistic feeling that it will happen.”

Four months after Israel and the Palestinians launched peace talks with the goal of reaching an accord by the end of this year there is little visible progress on a deal.

The talks have been hampered by internal divisions among the Palestinians. Abbas’ Fatah movement holds sway in the West Bank while Hamas, an Islamist group officially committed to Israel’s destruction, seized control of the Gaza Strip last year.

A group of hundreds of prominent Israeli rabbis this week urged a religious partner of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s government to immediately bolt the Israeli leader’s coalition amid rampant media reports Jerusalem is up for negotiations.

The rabbis warned that if the Orthodox Shas party remains in Olmert’s government, they will urge Jews against supporting Shas. If the party bolts, Olmert’s coalition government could fall apart, precipitating new elections.

“We are seriously considering issuing a statement signed by the hundreds of rabbis of the organization declaring it is absolutely forbidden for any observant Jew to vote for a party that lent its support to a government that negotiated the division of Jerusalem, a move that will place the entire population in Israel in mortal danger,” Rabbi Avrohom Shmuel Lewin, director general of the Rabbinical Congress for Peace, told WND.

The Congress is a coalition of more than 350 Israeli rabbinic leaders and pulpit rabbis.

Olmert repeatedly has insisted Israeli-Palestinian negotiations are not dealing with the status of Jerusalem, while Palestinian leaders, including Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abba, and many Israeli officials, including Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, stated in recent weeks negotiations are covering all core issues, including Jerusalem.

The Israeli Shas party has stated it would bolt the prime minister’s coalition if it becomes clear the Israeli government is negotiating the ceding of any part of Jerusalem. Shas’ departure could collapse Olmert’s government.

Alarmed rabbis: Prime minister dividing Jerusalem

Palestinian negotiators who are secretly engaged in a series of treaties and ”peace talks” with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s office have stepped up with their demands, insisting that the key to any and all peace treaties between the Palestinians and Israel will require the Jewish state to forfeits any and all rights to the Temple Mount.

Olmert who quickly losing all support of the Israeli people, is willing to work towards a joint Israeli-Palestinian controlled Temple Mount complex.

Joseph was the son of Jacob. He was sold into slavery by his jealous brothers, Joseph went on to become the viceroy of Egypt.

Last year Jewish students built a synagogue like structure on the West Bank’s Mount Gerizim, which is believed to be on the outskirt of the grave of Joseph. Now the Israeli government, more specifically Olmert’s office have decided the synagogue must go. They refuse to call the structure a synagogue and have decided that it’s construction was illegal since it was built without a government permit.

Under direct orders from the Olmert regime, the Israel Civil Lands Administration destroyed the synagogue.

“Just before the synagogue was bulldozed, one Jewish student told the Israel National News website, “If the synagogue is destroyed, it will be rebuilt.

Olmert’s decision to single out for demolition the synagogue near Judaism’s third holiest site has been called into question by religious leaders here.”

Olmert is not only a shill for the New World Order, but he is modern histories biggest traitor to both Israel and to Judaism.

The Muslim Islamic overseers of Jerusalem’s Temple Mount began digging a deep trench what is considered to be the world’s holiest mount earlier this week. More extensive digging is expected to come in the near future.The Waqf or the Islamic Trust was given the approval of Israeli police to proceed with their digging at the Temple Mount site, but archeologists have made it a point to emphatically protest that using heavy machinery, like the bulldozers currently being used at such a sensitive and historical site also requires the approval of archeological authorities.In the past, extensive construction work done by the Muslims under the Temple Mount, during which a massive amount of unsifted dirt and debris, including tiny shards of Temple history were dumped into the Kidron Valley below.

Israel Today is reporting that Iran has marked and locked onto 600 targets for its long-range missiles inside Israel. Iran is now “unofficially” revealing it plan by threatening to hit Israel with a massive missile strike if either Israel or the US attack Iran or Syria.Current reports coming out of Jerusalem and Washington, including an American report that Dick Cheney has convinced George Bush that an attack on Iran is needed while they are still in office,  indicates that the time is approaching when Israel and the US will have no choice but to intervene militarily to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.

President George W. Bush is offering $190 million dollars in support for the Fatah government of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

Bush is reaffirming his “vision” of a Palestinian state at peace with Israel. He’s calling for a meeting this fall to discuss ways of getting the peace talks back on track.

This is quite a scam Abbas is pulling. Various news stories have already presented us with the facts surrounding Abbas’ true drive, to merge Hamas with Fatah. Abbas is taking all of the military and financial aid he can from as many parties as possible to bolster his power, power which he himself has stated should be turned against Israel in an effort to wipe the Jewish state off of the map.
