Excellent post. Attached is a couple of
articles on the true Israel spoken of in the Bible.

“The Shocking Principle of Two Israels”
(Taken from Chapter 3 of Exploding the
Israel Deception, by Steve Wohlberg)
Have you ever been hit so hard on the
head that you started seeing double? Well, from what I have
studied, the Christian world needs to get hit hard on the head
with the truth of the New Testament! Then more Christians will
start seeing double about the subject of Israel. According to
the New Testament, there are now two Israels! The proof? Paul
wrote, "They are not all Israel, which are of Israel." Romans
9:6, emphasis added. In this chapter, we will discover that
there is an Israel "according to the flesh" (Romans 9:3) and
an Israel in the Spirit composed of both Jews and Gentiles who
have personal faith in Jesus Christ.
Paul wrote, "Even as Abraham believed
God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Know ye
therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the
children of Abraham." Galatians 3:6,7. Paul's argument is that
Abraham had faith, therefore those who have faith are his
children. We might call this the concept of "faith lineage."
This truth is like a key that can open a lock in our heads.
Once the lock is open, then we can understand the shocking
principle of two Israels.
John the Baptist understood and boldly
preached the truth of "faith lineage." "In those days came
John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness." "But when he
saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism,
he said unto them 'Think not to say within yourselves, We have
Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of
these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. And now also
the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every
tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and
cast into the fire.'" Matthew 3:1, 7, 9, 10.
Those Pharisees and Sadducees were
part of Israel according to the flesh. They did not have faith
like Abraham did, yet they thought they were his children.
John the Baptist exposed this delusion. He thundered, "Don't
think that!" John then laid the "axe" to the root of the trees
by saying that if those men did not bear "good fruit" through
faith like Abraham did, then they would be "hewn down, and
cast into the fire." Verse 10. Thus natural lineage by itself
is not enough. Without faith and a spiritual connection with
God, those men were doomed.
Jesus Christ taught the same truth. A
certain group of Jews once said to Him, "Abraham is our
father." Jesus responded, "If ye were Abraham's children, ye
would do the works of Abraham." John 8:39. They claimed to be
Abraham's children, but they had no faith. By saying, "If ye
were Abraham's children," Jesus denied their claim. Christ
continued, "But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told
you the truth. This did not Abraham. Ye do the deeds of your
father." John 8:40, 41.
They responded, "We have one Father,
even God." Then "Jesus said unto them, If God were your
Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from
God." "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your
father ye will do. He was a murder from the beginning, and
abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When
he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar,
and the father of it." "He that is of God heareth God's words:
ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God." John
8:41, 42, 44, 47.
What an atomic text! Here Jesus Christ
Himself spoke words that blast into shivers a large portion of
the prophetic theories currently held in the evangelical
world. Jesus was talking to people who claimed to be
Israelites, the children of Abraham. Yet they were only the
Israel of the flesh! Jesus said they were not really Abraham's
children at all. Because they had no faith and were following
lies, their lineage actually went back to Satan, the father of
lies! Soon we will separate God's truth from Satan's lie when
we look at what Revelation really teaches about Israel, the
144,000, Babylon, and Armageddon.
Jesus Christ also taught this same
concept of "faith lineage" in John chapter 1. A spiritually
minded Jew named Nathanael was wondering whether Jesus of
Nazareth was really the Messiah. Retiring to a favorite spot
under a fig tree, he prayed about the matter. Soon a friend
introduced him to the Saviour. When Jesus saw Nathanael coming
to Him, He said, "Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no
guile!" John 1:47.
Nathanael had a natural lineage that
went back to Abraham. Yet he had more. In his spiritual life,
he had gained victories over guile, which means deception.
When Jesus discerned Nathanael's spiritual lineage to Abraham
and Jacob, He called him "an Israelite indeed." Therefore,
just as the man Jacob became a spiritual Israel, even so had
this man Nathanael become an Israelite indeed. He was part of
God's true spiritual Israel.
Just as there are now two Israels,
even so are there now two kinds of Jews. There are Jews in the
flesh and Jews in the Spirit. In words of warning to certain
Jews who were breaking the Ten Commandments, Paul wrote,
"Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and
makest thy boast of God." "For circumcision verily profiteth,
if thou keep the law: but it thou be a breaker of the law, thy
circumcision is made uncircumcision. Therefore if the
uncircumcision [Gentiles] keep the righteousness of the law,
shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?"
"For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that
circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew,
which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart,
in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of
me, but of God." Romans 2:17, 25, 26, 28, 29.
Did you catch that? Someone who is
"called a Jew" because he is a physical descendant of Abraham,
and yet who lives as a lawbreaker, "is not a Jew." His
"circumcision is made uncircumcision." To God, he is a
Gentile. And the believing Gentile, who through faith keeps
"the righteousness of the law," his uncircumcision is "counted
for circumcision." Thus to God, he is a Jew. The teachings of
John the Baptist, Jesus Christ, and Paul all agree that
natural lineage is not enough. Whether or not someone is "an
Israelite indeed" depends upon that person's faith and
spiritual character. Paul summarized, "For we are the
circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in
Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh."
Philippians 3:3. Anyone today can become one of these "Jews,"
even if their father was Adolf Hitler!
These concepts of "faith lineage,"
Jews being counted as Gentiles and Gentiles being counted as
Jews, lead us into one of the biggest issues now facing the
evangelical world. This issuue is at the core of prophetic
interpretation. In it we are faced with two options. One is
the truth, the other a lie. One leads to heaven, the other,
possibly, to hell.
The big question is "What about the
promises God made to Israel in the Old Testament?" If we
conclude that those promises must be fulfilled to the Israel
of the flesh, then we must conclude that Jerusalem and the
modern Jewish nation will eventually become the center of the
final battle of Armageddon. But if we conclude that those
promises can legitimately be fulfilled to God's Israel in the
Spirit, then we must restudy the book of Revelation to
discover how its end-time prophecies apply to Christians.
Paul deals with this highly explosive
issue in Romans 9:2-8. His words require careful thought. With
"continual sorrow" in his heart, Paul wrote about his Jewish
"kinsman according to the flesh: Who are Israelites; to whom
pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and
the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the
promises." Verses 2-4. God did make promises to Israel in the
Old Testament. Yet, what if some Jews do not believe in Him?
Can God fulfill His promises to an unbelieving Israel in the
flesh? If not, has His Word failed?
Paul's answer to these important
questions is clear. "Not as though the word of God hath taken
none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of
Israel." Verse 6. Notice that the concept of "two Israels" is
Paul's assurance that God's Word will not fail! Look
carefully: "They are not all Israel [the Israel of God], which
are of Israel [the Jewish nation]." Thus a Jew can be of the
Jewish nation, and yet not be part of the Israel of God. Now,
here is the highly explosive question. To which Israel will
God fulfill His promises?
Paul continues, "Neither, because they
are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac
shall thy seed be called." Verse 7. Since not all physical
descendants of Abraham are automatically God's children,
therefore His promises are for those "in Isaac." Abraham had
two sons. The first was Ishmael, who was born after the flesh.
The second was Isaac, who was born when Abraham had faith in
God's promise (Genesis 16:1-3, 15; 21:1-3; Romans 4:18-21). In
Galatians 4:22-31, Paul reveals that Ishmael represents
unbelieving Jews, while Isaac represents both Jews and
Gentiles who have faith! "Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are
the children of promise." Galatians 4:28. The children of
promise are those who "receive the promise of the Spirit
through faith. Galatians 3:14. Therefore, the Israel that is
"in Isaac" is the Israel of God in the Spirit!
Paul concludes, "That is, They which
are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of
God: but the children of the promise are counted for the
seed." Romans 9:8, emphasis added. Here is a summary of Paul's
reasoning: (1) In the Old Testament, God made promises to "the
seed of Abraham;" (2) This "seed would continue "in Isaac;"
(3) Isaac was born through faith; (4) Isaac represents those
who have faith; (5) All who have faith "Jews and Gentiles""are
counted for the seed;" (6) This seed is the "Israel" of God;
(7) God will fulfill His promises to this Israel, and
Therefore, "the word of God" to Israel has not been made of
"none effect," even though some natural Jews do not believe!
Thus we have the answer to the issue that means so much in
prophetic
interpretation. The Bible is clear.
God will fulfill His Old Testament promises to those "in
Isaac," that is, to His Israel in the Spirit. Those who are
only "the children of flesh, these are not the children of
God: but the children of the promise are counted for the
seed." Romans 9:8, emphasis added. We should not expect God to
fulfill His promises to an unbelieving Israel in the flesh,
unless, of course, those natural Israelites choose to believe
in Jesus Christ.
We will examine one more atomic
section before we close this chapter. What about Paul's
question, "Hath God cast away his people?" Romans 11:1. This
verse is being quoted around the world to prove that God has
not cast away the Israel of the flesh. Yet notice Paul's
answer: "God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed
of Abraham." Notice that Paul uses himself as an example to
prove that God has not "cast away his people." Who are "his
people"?
In the next three verses, Paul refers
to ancient Israel's apostasy in the days of Elijah. God said
to Elijah, "I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who
have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal." Verse 4. In
Elijah's time there were also two Israels. One followed Baal,
while the other followed God. Then Paul made this application.
"Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant
according to the election of grace." Verse 5. Just as in
Elijah's time there was a faithful remnant of Israel, even so
in Paul's time there was also a faithful remnant of believing
Jews, who, like himself, had been saved by grace. These are
God's people. It is this faithful remnant of spiritual Israel
whom God has certainly not "cast away."
Soon we will see this exact issue
addressed in the book of Revelation. As in the days of Elijah,
we are now in the midst of a terrible apostasy. Yet today God
has His "seven thousand" who have not "bowed the knee to
Baal." They are His faithful remnant, His Israel in the
Spirit. Like Elijah, they will be on the side of Jesus Christ
and the truth at Armageddon!

“Should Christians Focus on Earthly Jerusalem?”
When it comes to Christians and Bible
prophecy, the hot spot is Jerusalem. Prophecy teachers around
the world are talking about Arafat, the PLO, the Jews, the
Arabs, the peace process, a rebuilt Jewish Temple, and a final
Middle East war of Armageddon. Pastor John Hagee's recently
published book, The Battle for Jerusalem (2001), reveals this
current focus. An advertisement declares, "Pastor John Hagee
explains the heart of Israel's struggle for Jerusalem and the
Holy Temple Mount - and why the battle for Jerusalem should be
of major concern to Christians around the world." *John Hagee
Ministries (magazine), March / April 2001.
Should it really? While Christians
should love Jewish people (and everyone else), and should
definitely support Israel in her struggle against terrorism,
we wish to ask - Does the New Testament really say we should
focus on the earthly city of Jerusalem? And do New Testament
prophecies, as is so commonly taught, really swirl around this
location? The answer may surprise you. First of all, there is
not one single direct reference in the book of Revelation to
the earthly city of Jerusalem! Look for yourself. Jesus
referred to "the city of my God, which is New Jerusalem, which
cometh down from heaven from my God" (Revelation 3:12). "And I
John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of
heaven from my God" (Revelation 21:2). "And he carried me away
in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me that
great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from
God" (Revelation 21:10). Here the New Jerusalem is plainly
called "the holy city," and this is where the saints of God
are to live eternally.
Revelation 11:2 also refers to "the
holy city." Again, in Revelation 22:19, we read about "the
holy city." And Revelation 20:9 describes a final battle at
the end of the 1000 years against "the camp of the saints ...
the beloved city" (20:9). Christians sometimes apply these
verses to the present, earthly city of Jerusalem, but
Revelation itself does not do this. As we have already seen,
Revelation defines "the holy city" as the "new Jerusalem"
(21:2). Thus there is no proof that the book of Revelation has
even one reference to earthly Jerusalem!
Concerning the saints of God, the New
Testament says, "But now they desire a better country, that
is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called
their God: for he hath prepared for them a city" (Hebrews
11:16). This city is clearly the New Jerusalem. Paul told his
readers, "But you are come to mount Zion, and unto the city of
the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem" (Hebrews 12:22).
The most powerful New Testament
section on this subject is Galatians 4:22-31. An honest and
careful study of Paul's words reveals that earthly "Jerusalem
which now is" (verse 25) is compared to Hagar, Ishmael, (verse
22), and the flesh (verse 23). Amazingly, it is "cast out"
(verse 31) and is no longer an "heir" to the promises of God.
But the "Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother
of us all" (verse 26).
Christians should love Jewish people,
and should seek to thoughtfully share with them the message of
Jesus their Messiah. Yet according to the New Testament, our
focus should be on the New Jerusalem, rather than the present,
war torn city in the Middle East.

Dear
Bob,
I
commend you on taking yet another stand against tyranny. How
true it is that the subject of Israel is so touchy that to
dare to examine and question the situation is enough to be
labeled an 'anti-Semite' or worse. (Of course the
Palestinians are more Semitic than the European Jews in
Israel
today -- but don't bring that up either.) I thank you for
your courage to address one of the core issues driving the War
on Terror and all the blowback associated with it. Religious
fanaticism is not good for any country. The Golden Rule is
still golden in my book -- and we best get back to it.
Fundamentalism of any kind -- Christian, Muslim, Jewish --
only serves the fear-mongering that the police state must
continue to cultivate until we shake with fear of the
impending Apocalypse. If only today's Americans truly
understood Liberty and the Responsibility that comes with it.
I thank you for your constant vigil in that regard.
Sincerely,
Eric

Subject: One more article by Uri Avnery
From: PLO Mission – Washington, DC
Uri Avnery 7.4.07
Shalom,
Shin Bet
RECENTLY, THE CHIEF of the Shin Bet declared that the "Israeli Arabs", a fifth
of Israel's
population, constitute a danger to the state.
He requested permission for the General Security Service to act
against anyone who aims at changing the official designation
of Israel
as a "Jewish and democratic state" - even if they use nothing
but completely legal means.
It follows that In the view of the chief of the Security Service, a
central figure in the Israeli leadership, the task of the Shin
Bet (now commonly known in Israel as Shabak) is not only to
protect the state from spies and terrorists, but also from any
challenge to its ideological designation, like the KGB in the
former Soviet Union and the Stasi in communist East Germany.
(The excellent Oscar-winning movie "The Life of the Others",
now screening in
Israel, shows how
this worked in practice.)
ALL THIS is reminiscent of things past. Rather naively, I had thought that
they belonged to bygone days which could never return.
Two weeks ago, the Israeli tabloid Yedioth Aharonoth published an
interview with the lawyer Arieh Hadar, nicknamed Pashosh, a
former chief of the interrogation department of the Shin Bet.
Pashosh disclosed that "In the 50s, the great enemies of the Labor
Party - and therefore of Issar Harel, the chief of the
security services, the Shin Bet and the Mossad - were Uri
Avnery and his weekly magazine, Haolam Hazeh. Avnery called
the Shin Bet "the Apparatus of Darkness", and Issar was
convinced that Uri Avnery would destroy the state. Avnery and
his magazine were under constant surveillance. A colleague of
mine earned himself quick promotion by recruiting an employee
of Haolam Hazeh's printing press. Every week, this employee
gave him a smuggled copy of the magazine a day before its
official publication date. My colleague gave it to Issar, who
brought it every week personally to Ben-Gurion."
Pashosh added: "Issar had the Shin Bet publish a competing
magazine, disguised as privately owned. The aim was to destroy
Avnery."
These revelations were not news to me. Years ago, Issar Harel
himself disclosed that he regarded me as "Enemy No. 1 of the
regime". It may be remembered that in those days, three bombs
were laid in our editorial offices and printing plant and two
employees were injured. The fingers of both my hands were
broken in an (unsuccessful) attempt to kidnap me. None of
these crimes was ever solved.
In 1977, after coming to power, Menachem Begin revealed in an
interview that at the end of the 50s Issar Harel approached
him and told him that he had proposed to the Prime Minister,
David Ben-Gurion, to put me in "administrative detention" -
arrest without trial and without time limit. Ben-Gurion
agreed, but posed a condition: that Begin, then the leader of
the opposition, agree to it too, so that it could be done
quietly. Begin demanded that Issar show him the evidence that
I was a traitor, otherwise, he said, not only would he not
agree, but he would raise hell. Issar never mentioned the
matter again.
Begin did not leave it at that. He sent me his trusted lieutenant,
Yaakov Meridor, to warn me. In spite of the extreme difference
of opinion between us, which found its expression many times
in Knesset debates, Begin accepted me, it seems, as an Israeli
patriot.
THE QUESTION is, of course, why Ben-Gurion and the security service chief
considered me "Enemy No. 1 of the regime".
That brings us to the subject now raised again by the Shin Bet
chief.
I attacked Ben-Gurion on many subjects: the total domination of all
affairs in the country by the Labor Party (then called Mapai),
the corruption that was then starting to infect the ruling
class, the discrimination suffered by Jewish immigrants from
Oriental countries, the religious coercion, etc.
But the pivot of this struggle was the definition of
Israel as a
"Jewish state".
What is a "Jewish state"? That was never made clear. A state whose
citizens are all Jewish? A state that belongs to Jews only?
The "state of the Jewish people", which also belongs to
millions of Jews who do not live here and are citizens of the
US,
Argentina and France? A state ruled by the Jewish religion? A
state that expresses Jewish values (and if so, which ones?)
Furthermore - who is a Jew, in this context? After many
hesitations, the Knesset adopted the religious definition: a
Jew is a person born to a Jewish mother or who has converted
to the Jewish faith, and who has not adopted another religion.
The contradiction between the definition of Judaism as a
religion and the assertion that the Jews are a nation was
solved by adopting the fiction that with us, unlike other
nations, religion and nation are one and the same.
The term "Jewish state" is nebulous. It can be interpreted in
several ways. When one adds the word "democratic", it becomes
an oxymoron - if a state belongs only to a part of its
population it is not democratic, and if it is democratic then
it cannot belong to a part of its population, even if they
compose the majority.
Instructing the Security Service - our name for the secret police -
to act against those who strive by legal means to change the
"Jewish state" definition - simply means to cripple Israeli
democracy. It is one of the basic principles of democracy that
everyone has the right to propagate his views and convince
people to change the laws and the constitution, as long as
only legal means are used. If he or she succeeds in convincing
the majority of the citizens, the desired change comes about.
Activating the secret police to abort this process would mean
turning
Israel
into a police state. Not a "democracy protecting itself", but,
rather, a state protecting itself from democracy.
I HOPE that the State of Israel remains a state with a Hebrew majority,
that the Hebrew language will remain its main language, that
it will express the modern Hebrew society and its culture and
also keep alive the Jewish tradition of generations past.
(About the Arab side of the matter - see below.)
But it must not do so by force, by way of oppression, by using the
secret police and other means of compulsion. Natural processes
must be allowed to work freely, whatever the results. We are
not the only nation in the world in this situation.
If Israel is an
attractive country, natural increase will rise and many will
knock on its doors, people who desire to join our nation. The
Israeli nation - unlike the Jewish religion - can in principle
absorb everyone who wants to belong to it.
The relationship between a modern state and its citizens must be
based on one consideration only: citizenship. The state
belongs to all its citizens, and all of them must be equal
before the law. That is what the 1948 Declaration of
Independence
promised: "The State of Israel…
will ensure complete equality of social and political rights to all
its
inhabitants irrespective of religion, race or sex."
Some Israelis use the term "nation-state" as a pretext to oppress
the Arab minority. They think about a nation-state in the
spirit of the late 19th and early 20th century. In
Poland, for
example, where many of Israel's founders were born, the state
fought against large communities of its own citizens -
Ukrainians, Lithuanians, Jews and others.
The most extreme example was the Nazi state, which was based on the
idea that the individual exists only as a part of his nation,
as a mere cell in the national organism. This model drowned in
blood and has been besmirched for all eternity by the horrors
of the Holocaust.
Today the model that appeals to many is the American one. The
American nation includes everybody who holds a
US passport. A
person who receives American citizenship - whether Mexican,
Korean, Indian or Nigerian - at that moment joins the American
nation and becomes an heir to George Washington, Abe Lincoln
and Franklin D. Roosevelt.
All modern nations are moving towards this model, each according to
its own rhythm. Poland, too, now belongs to the EU, where
millions of people are moving from country to country without
restrictions. In most countries there now live millions of
foreigners who are gradually being absorbed into the national
population. Their children grow up with the local culture and
the local language and study in the local schools. Without
this massive reinforcement, many Western societies could not
exist any more, as far as the economy and demography are
concerned.
Will Israel, which misses no opportunity to describe itself as a
Western country, turn its back on this reality and adopt the
model of Pakistan, a state that was founded - at the same time
as Israel - on an ethnic-religious basis?
MY IDENTITY consists of many different layers.
I am a human being, and as a human being I am a citizen of the
world, bearing responsibility for the entire planet. I am
committed to humanist values, to the ecology of the globe, to
freedom, peace and justice for all. I hope that in the not too
distant future, these values will be guaranteed by an
effective world order.
I am a member of the Israeli nation, together with all the other
people who hold an Israeli passport.
Israel is my
state. I want it living in peace, secure, flourishing and
respected throughout the world. I want a state in which it is
good to live, and of which I can be proud.
I am a son of
the Jewish people. I am an heir to Jewish tradition, much as
Australians and Canadians are heirs to the Anglo-Saxon
tradition. There are Jewish values in which I believe, values
of justice, peace and non-violence, which are very different
from the values of the settlers in Yitzhar and Tapuah. I am
close to the Jews around the world, and I am very glad that
Jews around the world feel close to Israel. That is an
emotional matter, which should not concern the state.
When the State
of Israel really belongs, practically and officially, to all
its citizens, it will be much easier for the Arabs here to
decide on their status. If they choose to belong to the
Israeli nation, much as Hispanics in the US belong to the
American nation, that will be fine. If they prefer the status
of a national minority, they should enjoy the rights of such a
minority in a modern state. Either way, the Arabic language
and Arab culture must be fully recognized by the state. The
affinity of the Arab citizens with the Palestinian people and
the Arab world must be considered just as legitimate as the
affinity of the Hebrew citizens with the Jewish people
throughout the world.
THAT IS
my view. I intend to advocate it by all the legal means at my
disposal in the democratic state that I helped to establish.
And if the Shin
Bet does not like it, well, that is a pity. I just hope that
they will not put me under administrative detention because of
it.

Israel doesn't want peace
By
Gideon Levy
The moment of truth has arrived, and it has to be said:
Israel does not want peace. The arsenal of excuses has
run out, and the chorus of Israeli rejection already
rings hollow. Until recently, it was still possible to
accept the Israeli refrain that "there is no partner"
for peace and that "the time isn't right" to deal with
our enemies. Today, the new reality before our eyes
leaves no room for doubt and the tired refrain that
"Israel supports peace" has been left shattered.
It's hard to determine when the breaking point occurred.
Was it the absolute dismissal of the Saudi initiative?
The refusal to acknowledge the Syrian initiative? Prime
Minister Ehud Olmert's annual Passover interviews? The
revulsion at the statements made by Nancy Pelosi, the
speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, in
Damascus, alleging that Israel was ready to renew peace
talks with Syria?
Who would have believed it? A high-ranking U.S. official
says Israel wants peace talks to resume and instantly
her president "severely" denies the veracity of her
words. Is Israel even hearing these voices? Are we
digesting the significance of these voices for peace?
Seven million apathetic Israeli citizens prove that we
are not.
Entire generations grew up here weaned on self-deception
and doubt about the likelihood of achieving peace with
our neighbors. In our younger days, David Ben-Gurion
told us that if he were only able to meet with Arab
leaders, he would have brought us peace in his time.
Israel has demanded direct negotiations as a matter of
principle and Israelis have derived great pride from the
fact that their daily focus on "peace" has concealed
their state's lofty ambitions. We were told that there
was no partner for peace and that the ultimate ambition
of the Arabs is to bring about our destruction. We
burned the portraits of "the Egyptian tyrant" at our
bonfires on Lag Ba'omer, and were convinced that all
blame for the lack of peace lied with our enemies.
After that came the occupation, followed by terror,
Yassir Arafat, the failed second Camp David Summit and
the rise of Hamas to power, and we were sure, always
sure, that it was all their fault. In our wildest
dreams, we wouldn't have believed that the day would
come when the entire Arab world would extend its hand in
peace and Israel would brush away the gesture. It would
have been even crazier to imagine that this Israeli
refusal would have been blamed on not wanting to enrage
domestic public opinion.
The world has been turned upside down and it is Israel
that stands at the forefront of refusal. The policy of
refusal of a select few, a vanguard of the extreme, has
now become the official policy of Jerusalem. In his
Passover interviews, Olmert will tell us that, "The
Palestinians stand at the crossroads of a historic
decision," but people stopped taking him seriously a
long time ago. The historic decision is ours, and we are
fleeing from this crossroads and from these initiatives
as if from death itself.
Terror, used as the ultimate excuse for Israeli refusal,
only helps Olmert keep reciting, ad nauseum, "If they
[the Palestinians] don't change, don't fight terror and
don't adhere to any of their obligations, then they will
never extract themselves from their unending chaos." As
though the Palestinians haven't taken measures against
terrorism, as though Israel is the one to determine what
their obligations are, as though Israel isn't to blame
for the unending chaos Palestinians suffer under the
occupation.
Israel
makes a point of setting prerequisites and believes it
has an exclusive right to do so. But, time and time
again, Israel avoids the most basic prerequisite for any
just peace - an end to the occupation. Of all the
questions asked during his Passover interviews, no one
bothered to ask Olmert why he didn't react with
excitement to the recent Arab initiatives, without
preconditions? The answer: real estate. The real estate
of the settlements.
It's not only Olmert who is dragging his feet. A leading
figure in the Labor party said last week that "it will
take five to 10 years to recover from the trauma." Peace
is now no more than a threatening wound, with no one
still talking about the massive social benefits it would
bring in development, security, freedom of movement in
the region and by establishing a more just society.
Like a little
Switzerland,
we are focusing more these days on the dollar exchange
rate and on the allegations of embezzlement leveled
against the Finance Ministry than on the fateful
opportunities fading away before our very eyes.
Not every day and not even in every generation do we
encounter an opportunity like this. Although it's not
for sure if the initiatives are completely solid and
believable, or if they are based on trickery, no one has
stepped up to challenge or acknowledge them. When Olmert
is an elderly grandfather, what will he tell his
grandchildren? That he turned over every stone in the
name of peace? That there was no other choice? What will
his grandchildren say? |

One thing I would like to see is more of an "outing" of who is
really responsible for all this. The men who belong to the
secrest societies, the, Illuminati, freemasons etc. The "gauradians

There has been no peace in the Middle East since the Israeli

Israeli authorities insist
there WILL BE
NO PEACE and the insistence that the Palestinians are to be
annihilated/removed shows in every attack Israel makes on the
imperiled Palestinians. I am ashamed to say that

the Palestinians have had none for over 60 year!!!
Good

coming back again and again to feed at the trough for more and

Israel
and the General Welfare
Dear Bob,
Thank you for
your willingness to open the dialogue regarding Israel's role
in America's foreign policy. It's the key to understanding the
emerging supra-national synthesis.
The most
hidden, influential Israeli in the U.S. entered the White
House under Carter in 1979. Dr. Amitai Etzioni is connected to
numerous programs that eliminate American's liberty, and he is
the founder of the movement designed to "balance" individual
rights against the "community." He was a terrorist against the
British, a soldier against the Arabs in 1948, and he studied
philosophy under Martin Buber, the founder of the confusing
Hegelian "I v. Thou" philosophy which introduced the concept
of globalized political communitarianism. Every new law that
balances our rights against the common good is a communitarian
law. This Israeli theory of "community" is the principle
behind every law you object to.
I hope you
have the time to take your research to the next level and
begin considering the ramifications of the U.S. adopting
international communitarian supremacy of law. The FBI
identified a top level Mossad agent in the White House who was
known to them only as "Mega." In my humble American opinion,
Etzioni fits the bill, perfectly.
Sincerely,
Niki

Hello! I am currently looking into your web site as an option
to strengthen my voice. I would like to thank you for bringing
up some very viable points concerning US anti-constitution
legislation. I wish that more Christians would really read and
study God's word, instead of going by what their pastor says
or their Mom's and Dad's. The Word of God tells us, that in
the last days (which we are no doubt in) there would be a
strong delusion, that if it were possible, it would fool the
very elect! I can see what John was talking about. This great
Church Age! Only grounded in what they have been taught, and
not studying to show themselves approved. I just want to thank
you for challenging me to take a look again concerning
Israel.
Most people don't realize, it was the UN who confirmed
Israel's Statehood. The same UN that is the promoter of the
"New World Order" The same UN, that wishes to dissolve the
sovereignty of the United States of America. If Christian's aren't filled with God's wisdom
(instead of man's) that only comes through study of His Word
and Prayer and guidance of the Holy Spirit, then they will
fall for this great delusion! I challenge any Christian, to
step outside the box that they have been programmed to stay
in, and study God's Word! Quit taking every word that comes
out of the mouth of these False Prophets as Gospel and read
The Gospel for yourself! You may find, that not everything you
have been taught is true. And that some of these theories
regarding prophecy for end times and the coming of Our Lord
Jesus, that you believe, because you have been taught, are
false. Some which have only been in the theological circles
for less time than our country has been in existence!
Bob, take time to study The Word for yourself. Remove from
your carnal mind, all pre-taught ideas, start from scratch and
ask God to give you His wisdom concerning His Word. I will
continue to do the same.

populations were pastoral Nomads who several centuries before
the Christian Era were migrating in large numbers from
Arabia to
Mesopotamia,
the coasts of the Mediterranean Sea, and the Nile River delta.
Jews and other Semites settled in villages in

Bob,
wow!
I have read the "for and against" emails and feel compelled to
write a little more to you.
1)
I didn't get that you were taking sides at all. What I got
was an attempt to shed light as to why the Income tax is
fraudulent from a geopolitical perspective, ie that perhaps
this unconditional support of Israel may be contributing to
the fraud and needs to be investigated.
2) You have
obviously aroused a whole bunch of emotion from your email
list and if any subject would conjure such a response it would
be the middle east therefore I can only surmise that it was
calculated and can only assume for good reason.
3) I was
quite amazed out how many respondents were Christian. Most
Christian church type people are totally not on board with the
tax honesty movement. The general consensus I have run into is
that "good Christians pay income tax" which is so repugnant
to me I can only conclude they truly are sheep.
4)
Again I restate you are no stranger to controversy and
therefore the subject matter is in good hands and should be
addressed in the realm of the tax honesty movement if there is
just a shred of evidence that foreign policy is complicit in
the invalidation of the US Constitution.
I
have read the Meisheimer/Walt documents and I don't consider
the effort to be insensitive but only turning the light on to
what is going on, which is a just cause.
I don't know
that
Israel
needs 3+ billion dollars of annual support to remain viable in
the
Middle East. I think that is a point that needs clarification. I
believe Islam will not peacefully coexist, and that may
require this level of support, however it should be legitimate
support not covert. I don't care what country is involved if a
foreign policy subverts the Constitution then it needs to be
stopped. I think that
US power
brokers (politicians?) have a first duty to their constituents
and if the Israeli Lobby is hiding the facts deliberately
deceiving the US people it needs to be called to account for
it. Get it above board regardless of the degree of anti
sentiment.
But
then the
US

Dear Bob:
You have taken a bold (and risky) step by addressing this issue. But I
believe you are doing the right thing (James 4:17), and even
if it isn't rewarded in this life, it will be in the next.
It is difficult for me to fathom that Bible believing Christians, i.e.,
those who have actually studied Scripture, could refer to the
people presently occupying that little triangle of land over
there on the Mediterrenean Sea, God's "chosen people," or the
"seed" of Abraham. Anyone who has read Isaiah 60,61 and 62 (or
any of the Scriptures describing the prophesied kingdom), if
they believe it means exactly what it says, cannot with any
honesty say that what is described in these passages could
have the remotest connection with the secular state that was
instituted over there in 1947 with the aid of U.S. influence
and money.
When God installs "true" Israel back in that land, He won't need tanks and
warplanes (or U.S. money) to do it. There is no way this
little socialist/fascist police state that calls itself
Israel, is God's chosen nation, and therefore it and what it
does should not be supported in any way, form or fashion by
Bible believing Christians.
Keep up the good work!

Israel
issue
Bob,
I have read
some of the emails in opposition of the stance of WE the
People on US's Israeli foreign policy. All I can say is that
people are to willing to formulate their opinions and
positions on issues without doing thorough research on the
subject matter. They take position on the opinion of others
and their own beliefs. But before one takes a position, one
should do the research for themselves and then formulate their
own position or opinion based on the facts they have found for
themselves. Also, the source of information must be a credible
source, which does not include newspapers or TV news. The best
choices for fact finding research are scholarly sources such
as Jimmy Carter's book and the paper by Mearsheimer and Walt.
These are credible sources for information. I recently
purchased and listen to the audio book version of 'Palestine
Peace Not Apartheid' by Jimmy Carter. This book was eye
opening and interesting. The audio version is great because if
your busy such as most people, you can listen to it as you
travel. Jimmy Carter is a renowned expert on the Middle East
and received a Noble Prize for his efforts of being the only
president to bring Middle Eastern leaders together for peace
talks and agreement in the Camp David Accord. Jimmy Carter is
one of the few presidents that had the virtues of integrity,
honesty, and ideals of working for the good of all, not the
political agenda that most presidents hold first and foremost
for the gain of themselves and their constituents. All I can
say is that Jimmy Carter's book is a must read or listen!
I noticed
that some of the opposition emails are touting that you are
getting off track with the
Israel
issue from your normal agenda. Nothing could be farther from
the truth! If you open your mind and eyes wide and look at the
whole picture you will see a direct relation in that the
government is pouring billions of dollars into Israel. Now ask
yourself, where is this money coming from? That's right its
coming from me and you, who have no say of where the money is
being used. Therefore We the People is right on target with
this issue.
When the
people of opposition to this issue finally break down and
take the time to do the research they will realize why the
Arab nations hate the
United States for
financing terrorism upon their people.
And I would
like to ask some of the people with opposing views, why would
you unsubscribe to the newsletter? Would you not be open
minded enough to re-examine what others have to say or have
said? I have read the emails of both sides. Would you not want
to do the research to back up your formulated opinion or what
you have to say? One email I read made mention of the Koran
saying that Muslims must kill anybody that does not convert. I
have personally not read the Koran and would doubt that they
have read the Koran in its original language version.
Many meanings are lost when something is converted from its
original language to English or other languages. Many foreign
languages have words that do not have an English conversion.
This same aspect applies to the bible, which was originally
written in Hebrew. If you talk to someone that can speak and
read Hebrew, English, and German they will tell you that the
closest translation is German. Therefore, much of the
understanding of such books as the Koran and Bible are based
upon interpretation and perception. Most religion is faith
based, not fact based. I am not saying there is anything wrong
with that, but I am saying thorough research is based on many
sources and one must analyze and process that data to its
pertinence of the subject matter being researched.
We are
slowly losing our freedom in this country a piece at a time
and if we do not all take a stand together no matter what we
believe we will surely lose everything our Forefathers fought
and sacrificed for to create a free sovereign nation of the
people. Perhaps we will all have to lose all our rights and
freedoms before we can realize the value of having those
rights and freedoms. I should hope not! But more and more I
see people acting like good government sheep. Something like
9-11 happens and people are so willing to give up their rights
and freedom for security. A prime example is air travel. You
have to take your shoes off at the security check point. Why?
You cannot carry on a bottle of water or other liquids. Why?
When was the last time anyone can remember a plane being taken
down by a bottle of water or pair of shoes? Look if someone
wanted to take control of a flight could not a group of people
strong arm their way through it? How about a CD or DVD? Has
anyone ever broke one of these disk and discovered that it
becomes a jagged shard of plastic? I'm just saying that like
our Forefathers before us I am willing to take the risks to
protect my rights and freedom. We do not need the government
raping us of our rights and freedoms in the name of security!
All I have
to say to people that hold an opposing opinion to the Israel
issue is: 'that is what this country is about, your freedom to
express your opinion as you see it without being persecuted
for it'. But, I also say Do not unsubscribe from We the People
because of your current position, do some more research, find
more facts, and revisit your thoughts on the subject. No
matter what let's not be divided by our differences of opinion
on different subjects, instead let us agree to disagree on
some things and stick together to fight the good fight!!!!!

First off, I would like to say I am still behind "WTP.org". It
seems a lot of people do not like this new issue being raised,
with valid reason.
I just wanted to make sure that you know: If you had you're
way, and if Christians are also correct, this would be
prophecy fulfilled, and thus the beginning of the end would
start :)
I am a Christian, but I believe in separation of church and
state, and above all Constitutional law. For a Christian to
imply we have any say in when the rapture begins is
blasphemous. If God wanted Israel to stand, something would
miraculously take the US's place in assuring its sovereignty
if we were to withdraw our unlawful support. Simple as that.
In their perspective, (and covertly ours), it is a Holy War. I
cannot find any other explanation for our support of "The Holy
Land" through thick and thin without involving religious
views. This is not acceptable according to any religion. We
must treat foreign policy separate from our religious views.
And I am scared to say, what if the
US

PS: I do agree that this is the main cause of the police state

Time to wake up Americans.
I am a person whose ancestor's work was completely misused by
those who have convinced the many that the few are chosen by a
God that none of us would even begin to invite into our home,
let alone to break bread with - a God that destroys whichever
life it creates by allowing only certain human beings to
decide who, what, when and where - I am shocked at the "not
agree" email responses.
We are in the 21st Century and the information stream is
available to all who would be curious enough to know the true
teachings of religions - the Zionists have succeeded in
convincing the brains of far too many that a very wicked God
is in control and we have no choice but to be sacrificed to
the evil of propaganda - created, controlled and distributed
not by God, but by man alone.
My mother's second cousin, my cousin once removed was Karl
Marx. He did not write the works he did to allow the few to
enslave the many. No, the work he created was for the many to
be free of the few who believed then, as they do now, that the
centuries of ruling elite were considered more special. He
did not believe in "Jew-ism" and this was because he was well
aware of the "Tribes of Israel."
Why should the Israel tribes be more special than the
non-Israel?
In the ancient Cradle of Civilization, there were predators,
just as today, and it has always been the predators of
humanity who have decided that the Christ, his spirit, and his
followers, were not as special as the predators. The
predators do not accept any religion that is not created by
them for their own agenda. This hatred of religions by the
predators includes the Muslim tradition.
Zionists and Israel Jews do NOT follow Jesus Christ nor his
teachings. The predators of ancient times have always used
religion to yoke the many, and in this time they are far
stronger in this endeavor because they have the WORLD MEDIA.
Those who would not use their own God given brains to think
through the First Commandment: "Thou Shalt Not Kill" are NOT
followers of Jesus Christ, but indeed, simply slaves of hell
because that's what the predators choose for those who don't
think.
Jesus sat outside the Temple and braided a bullwhip to drive
the "money changers" from the Holy Shrine of God.
How hard is it for the "Christians" in "America" to understand
that they are violating this in supporting the Zionist agenda
of "full spectrum dominance!" The Zionists are the money
changers and not the Children of Israel, the Chosen People of
God. There is no such nonsense.
All human beings are the chosen people of God, ask God about
this and not some other human - the truth shall set us free.
Why don't the "not agree" people who sent you emails go and do
their homework - conduct interviews with every person who has
the power to continue using Israel as a power broker to
destroy the Middle East for the purpose of the New World
Order, and find out just how much they believe in the
teachings of Jesus. For example, Henry Kissinger.
Then and only then can they actually form an opinion.
Interview Paul Wolfowitz of the World Bank and his commitment
to Jesus. Don't allow any deviation from the teachings of
Jesus: "Ye shall know them by their fruits." In other words,
just a "yes I love Jesus Christ" or "Yes, I am a follower of
Christ" - shall NOT suffice. A thorough investigative
background search of Paul's practices for his entire POLITICAL
life demonstrating he has been a genuine Child of God,
following the teachings of Jesus the Christ, must be proven as
a factual paper trail of indisputable evidence to support his
love of God and the teachings of Jesus.
Again - Thank God for We the People Foundation.
I am the humble servant, now pledged to a Foundation that
"shouts it from the mountain top"
Thank you again and again,
Roberta

Subject: US., Israel and AIPAC : "No Thank You"
I
agree with your take on the Scriptures dealing with the State
of Israel today. I am really appalled by the emails that I
read concerning your take on
Israel.
It seems so many in the Church today have misunderstood the
Scriptures dealing with this subject.
The Jews are not God's people. They can be if they repent.
And if they repent they become part of the Church, the Bride
of Christ. Christians (the Church), are now God's people.
Never again will there be a reason or a need for a restored
nation of Israel. There is no New Testament Scripture dealing
with a restoration of the nation of Israel, only its
destruction. (Matt. 21:43; 24:2; Mark 13:2; Luke
19:42-44,
21:20-24), If there was to be a restoration of the Nation of
Israel, why didn't the greatest prophet of all, Jesus, say one
word about it?
The nation of
Israel
today is not the nation of God. These people are not true
Jews! A true Jew does not constitute a "blood line," "he is
not a Jew, which is one outwardly, neither is that
circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew
which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the
heart..."(Romans
2:28,29;
8:17; 9:7; Gal 3:7,29). A true Jew is someone who does the
work of God. " Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the
work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent" (John
6:29). A true Jew believes in Jesus. Jesus told the Jews of
his day, the descendants of Abraham, the ones who could trace
their lineage back to Abraham, that they were of their father
the devil (John 8:44). Why? Because they did not believe that
Jesus was the Messiah. So they were not the sons of Abraham!
There is so much more I could say about this from the
Scriptures. If you want to know more, I have written a book
that spends a few chapters dealing with this issue. The book
is titled "IT WAS AT HAND A Biblical Response To
Dispensationalism" by Michael E. Riemer If you want to read
it, just give me the address to mail it and I will send you a
copy free of charge. Or you can order it through almost any
book store.
If you post this email on your sight, you may leave my email
address, for I would love to defend your position on this
issue.
One more point. Yes, the Bible does say pray for the peace of
Israel. Maybe Jesus should have read that verse. The Bible
also says to offer animal sacrifices. Why do so many insist on
taking verses in the Bible out of context?
Yours in Christ,
Michael Earl Riemer

Subject: So-Called "Anti-Semitic" Statement
Hi Bob,
Thanks
for all of the e-mails and for keeping all of us concerned
Americans up to speed on what's happening. I couldn't agree
more with your position in the e-mail. I know you're not an
anti-semite, neither am I. In fact, I owe the semitic jewish
people everything. Otherwise, I would have no hope and neither
would anyone else for that matter.
You
know, I read some of the dissenting comments you included
regarding the stance against the root of our problem. I have
to say that these knee-jerk responses to a thoughtfully
presented argument is typical of these neo-cons and
self-deluded "Christians." As a Bible-believing, born-again
member of God's family, having been adopted as a son as
outlined by
Paul, I have
to say that they are all WRONG. You see, I don't ascribe to
the fictitious notion that God needs us to help him bring
about the Millennium. So many obtuse evangelicals promulgate
this misinterpretation of Scripture. I'm very glad that
you're making a stand against the actual root of all of our
troubles. These ignorant people, who probably never even
provided contributions to WTP, should be challenged, to
stretch the intellectual envelope, to push them out of their
comfort zone.
These
deceived Christians need to be aware of the scriptural mandate
for the real jewish people to return. God unequivocally
outlined the conditions under which the real jewish people may
return to the land promised by God. However, the current
"State of Israel" is not founded on any of them. In contrast,
it's founded on murder, assassinations, terrorism, extortion,
and theft. I hardly think that God will bless this corrupt
and psychologically unstable people. I say because the public
needs to be aware that the crowd making all of the trouble are
NOT semitic jews. These people are NOT the children of
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Rather, they a turkic-mongoloid
race from the Crimean region of southern
Russia
known as the Khazars. (Several jewish authors have researched
this and have written very enlightening books on the
subject.) They are IMPOSTER jews who have claimed/stolen the
name of the real jewish people for their own benefit. Even
among "jewish" groups they know this and yet, they expect the
"non-jew" to pay homage to them whenever they drag out the old
"victim" card.
The
people who are in power in Israel (i.e., Zionists) are the
same people who are manipulating Bush and Congress and who
deceived us into the Iraqi bloodbath with their so-called
"intelligence" lies. One responder said that Israel is no
threat and then compared its population with that of the
Middle East. This foolish individual obviously intends to obfuscate the
reality of the situation. We all know that the Khazar-controlled
U.S. Government would pounce on anyone that threatened
Israel
militarily. Besides, Israel would simply detonate one of its
nuclear warheads over its enemy's capital city. Yes, we all
know that Israel has nuclear weapons. Even the Israeli
leadership occasionally makes offhand statements to that
fact. Just because
Israel
has relied on its traditional tactics of subterfuge certainly
doesn't mean they're not ready and willing to push the button,
as it were. Your statement of Israel co-mingling funds is
right on the mark. They DO NOT need another dollar from us.
We are helping to pay for their insatiable desire for land and
genocide worse than Himmler's SS. The Israeli Minister of the
Treasury recently made an offhand remark that
Israel
doesn't need the $2 billion U.S. foreign aid, but they'll
certainly accept it. We are continually being played for
fools and yet, what is our leadership doing about it?
Nothing. Not only nothing, but they're in bed with them. How
did such a small group, particularly of Communist/Zionist
(i.e., "Neo-Conservatives") manipulators get so much power
anyway?
Sorry
- I'll get off my soapbox... I'm just sick and tired of
uninformed people, especially those who think they're
informed, telling me that Israel has a right to the land and
that we must blindly support it in everything it does. It's
funny that these same people will turn around and proclaim
their innocence when the U.S. finally pays the highest price
for their complicity in our ultimate destruction if we don't
take our nation back.

Subject: Israel
Dear Sirs,
My first email was a bit rushed. You are correct as far as I
am concerned in the fact that the US policy in the middle east
is not in our best interest. However the US policy here at
home is also not in the best interest of individual freedom
and the God given rights of WE the People either.
This latest revelation and evaluation albeit in spirit is
correct in my opinion it is irrelevant. If we cannot clean up
our house at home I see no chance of changing directions on
affairs outside. Our selected officials must be made to
realize that we, not them are in charge.
United we stand. Regardless of the facts and the truth you
have presented concerning current policy this issue has by the
looks of things divided our house. A house divide will surely
fall. I know you know who said that. He never lied.
Perhaps we need to have as many people on board with a
cohesive issue or issues and at least prevail on these issues
as to divide ourselves on some issue that we have little to no
chance of making a difference on anyway.
Here we are involved in 4 main issues at petition with what
response from our servants to date? I will back We the People
when they are in the right. I say again you are right about
this issue.
My question is how does this serve to help our goals? If our
goal is to divide and conquer then I am sure we can come up
with other equally controversial issues to present to the
remaining membership.
Right or wrong how much has the loss of some of our meager
support benefited our overall cause? I must agree with your
assessment on the constitutionality of this foreign policy
issue. However it is my humble opinion that at this time it
serves no purpose greater than to divide our membership and
erode much needed support from our base.
I am not being critical here. I am trying to be a realist. In
truth the foreign policy of the US has been wrong headed and
without God's guidance for decades. Were this not the case we
wouldn't be in the mess we are as of today. That being said We
the People cannot hope to correct years of misdirection abroad
until first we overcome the years of misdirection at home.
Do as you wish but common sense tells me I'd rather be in a
struggle for liberty where the cause is backed by as many like
minded freedom fighters as I could muster through a common
unifying cause.
United we stand, divided we fall. Now who said that?

Subject: Mid-East Policy vs. the
U.S.
Constitution
Dear Bob,
I wrote two emails to the info address. The first in hast and
the second a change of attitude of sorts. This one is to you
personally. I agree with your assessment. I also think Jimmy
Carter is misguided at best and a moron at worst. I had to
through that in there. I have read the agree and the disagree
emails posted on the site. Once again if all the ifs that have
been presented are correct then yes indeed the current policy
is unconstitutional.
The ifs I refer to are taken from the following quote.
"If Palestinians are being oppressed and their society is
being destroyed by Israel, and if Palestinians and empathetic
Arabs and Muslims in surrounding countries are now directing
their anger and hostilities against America because our
financial aid to Israel is paying for the destruction of the
Palestinian society, and if these hostile acts by Arabs and
Muslims against America are the underlying cause of the
domestic "War on Terror" in America, and if the "War on
Terror" in America is the proximate cause of the developing
Police State (euphemistically called the National Security
State) in America, and if the growing Police State is eroding
the individual Rights, protected Freedoms and cherished
Liberties of the People, then it would be undeniable that U.S.
foreign policy regarding Israel is not in our national
interest and is not serving the general welfare of all
Americans."
May I suggest that if another set of ifs is presented then a
totally
different conclusion may be extrapolated. That being said, and
acknowledging you are 100% correct given the information you
are working from, the following is what I have gleaned from
this discussion. At least the important part in my humble
opinion. The following are quotes and only an observation.
"Please remove me from your list."
"If you keep up along the vein you have been speaking I will
remove my
name from your newsletter list."
"Remove me from your list."
"If you get divided between all these different issues you
won't win any of them."
"This is a distraction that will dilute our original intent
and lose much needed support as well. I beg of you to
cease."
"this organization has lost its original important focus which
was to expose the income tax fraud and the irs crooks for who
they are."
"I want nothing more to do with you.Please remove my name from
your emailing list."
"But why ask for that battle?"
"Let the Lord deal with
Israel's
"misconduct," and let WTP find other
misdoings of our government to criticize. There are many to
choose from.
If not, I fear your organization will not stand."
"May God grant us the ability to use wisdom in sticking to the
issues of
our cause." "I can no longer support you. Take me off
your email list."
"I’ll have to go elsewhere with my money and support to fight
that battle."
"I’m moving on and putting your organization behind me."
"May God mercifully redirect your steps back onto the path He
laid before your feet,"
Bob I stand in your corner. Correct me if I'm wrong but in the
event we
actually force our servant government to stop the existing
unlawful
collection of revenues then the funding of misguided foreign
policy will take care of itself. Also please correct me if I
am mistaken but how much of a chance will a petition of this
matter stand to succeed if our existing petitions are ignored
or remain unresolved? I would say zero.
The above quotes are a sort of petition from some of our
members. I know that given the information you refer to that
you are right. Since religion has been introduced I would like
bring up what Jesus said about a house divided. "And if a
house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand."
None the less you are right.
When our founding fathers petitioned the king they stayed
focused. The
only foreign policy issues they asserted were those concerning
the
colonies. I am sure there were many other foreign policy
issues to
petition but they steered clear of them for a reason I
suppose. Back then
they had a rally cry, "United we stand, divided we fall."
Bob I love you for what you have done and are doing. I wish I
had Bill
Gates money and you would have billions at your disposal. The
way I see
things is this is an issue that serves no purpose at this time
other than to divide our meager base. Do as you wish I still
support our efforts. I see this also as a possible negative
given the ignorance of most Americans as a way for the powers
that be to use this against GiveMeLiberty.org. Just a
thought.
In the war of aggression between the states the South won 75%
of the battles but lost the war. How many battles have we won?
We very well may
need only win one and win the entire war. I hope we choose
carefully our battles. I mean there is the right to contract
vs. getting a permit. The right to unrestricted free travel on
our public highways without having to obtain a permit
(license), right to bear only the arms our servants say we can
bear, freedom of religion free from fear of offending, and I
can go on and on and on.
This is just my opinion Bob. We have already engaged in one
mighty battle. Our original 4 petitions. To date I see no
victory although it may be forth coming. We need as much
support as we can get on this front alone. I would hope that
being right about this
Israel
thing is not so important as to divide us. Is being right more
important than everything?
During the battle of Gettysburg General Lee was convinced he
was right in keeping his divisions in Washington as opposed to
sending reinforcements to
Gettysburg.
To this day I am sure he was right because of his military
skill and leadership abilities. I have to wonder sometimes
though if he had of listened to what his ground troops were
saying if the South would have won that war? I think as a
matter of fact later he admitted he was wrong but of course
then it was too late.
Well thanks for all you have done and continue to do. I just
felt
compelled to share with you from my heart. Bob I am not saying
you are
wrong. I think you are right. The above quotes speak for
themselves.
Bob you are We the Peoples General Lee. You are the one
giving the
marching orders. I do not envy you this responsibility. It is
up to you

We The People Foundation,
Sirs; I have been a member for only a year or two, and
have enjoyed completely the many articles and deep thought
provoking questions that you have published. I do regret that
I have been unable to contribute in various ways as I would
have liked.
I have read your more recent articles concerning
the Israeli Lobby and our current US foreign policy issues,
and even though I have not as yet read the writings of former
President Carter and the others, so as to ascertain the
veracity of their statements and opinions, I have read the
e-mails of those that agree and disagree with your articles.
Having been a Biblical student and amateur
history student for many years, I am deeply saddened by the
various writers of their misunderstanding and misconceptions
of The Holy Bible, other religions (any dictionary rendering
as man made doctrines, not God''s), and man's world history.
It appears that those individuals who quote and live by The
Old Testament teachings, do not understand that God's Grace
was given to the individual on a conditional basis, and that
the Old Testament is a historical account and narrative. To
live and worship according to the Old Testament, the
individual is rejecting God's Love and Grace that He poured
out to mankind through the sacrifice made by God's only Son.
God made that very clear through His Word in the New
Testament.
As one of the other writers made clear, from a
historical background, there may be a few individuals in the
state of Israel, who can trace their ancestry back to one of
the true tribes of Israel or Jerusalem, but for the biggest
part, the majorities are not true Israelites. Anyway, if one
was to read and understand the books of Daniel, John, and
Revelations, they would know that the 1,000 year rule of Satan
on the earth will be from Jerusalem.
On regards to the other writers statements that WTP
is trying to cover too many areas and becoming divided. One
should stop and think and try to see the full picture, and not
just a few snapshots. All the current petitions and all the
questions being currently asked, have very much to do with the
full extent of the current corruption and incompetence that
has saturated Washington, DC and unfortunately, all levels of
government and the judicial clear down to the local arena. I
hate to say this, but if a person is that blind to what is
happening, (willingly or not), then accordingly the truth is
that individual is a slave and prefers to remain a slave.
In conclusion, all that I can say is, WTP keep up
the good work, and hopefully more people will throw off the
binders that are covering their eyes and really see what is
happening.

Subject: Israel Lobby & U.S. Foreign Policy:
To my
Brothers and Sisters in Liberty:
I would beg all who have expressed their displeasure with
WTP’s statement regarding foreign policy to consider the
following:
1. I am a born-again Christian who has also read (and
believes) Ezekiel’s prophecy regarding the re-creation of the
State of Israel; and of God’s ominous warnings aimed at those
who would be enemies of His chosen people. I am not, however,
convinced that Almighty God would have used—of all the
possible means available to Him—the UN to bring His people
back to their homeland.
2. As much as I love and admire the Jewish people, I believe
our direct involvement in the Mid-East and it’s many political
facets has created yet another deep and highly contentious
division among our people. Israel has proven many times over
that they are fully capable of taking care of themselves; and
I fail to see where leaving them to their own devices can
somehow be construed as being anti-Israeli.
3. My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ tells me to love my
enemies; and, thus, I have concluded (and truly believe) that
the only way one can defeat hate, injustice, war, etc....is by
loving our world neighbors as much as we love ourselves; and
to do our utmost to develop a foreign policy that reflects
same.
4. I strongly encourage everyone to read George Washington’s
Farewell Address; wherein he cautions our young republic from
entering into entangling alliances; citing (nay,
predicting) the divisiveness and internal strife that would
surely follow.
In conclusion, it is imperative—that in all matters relating
to the process of governance—that we strictly adhere to the
wise, forthright and righteous limitations imposed upon said
process by The Constitution; and I, for one, applaud WTP in
their efforts to do just that.
Your brother in Christ . . .

Hi Bob,
This is my
first correspondence to you. First of all I want to thank you
for your efforts in educating the people of our constitutional
rights and applaud WTP for taking the steps to hold our
government accountable to the constitution. I have only been a
follower of WTP for 1.5 yrs, and regretfully have not been
able to supply financial support (I’m a financially struggling
graduate student), but plan to in the future, once I graduate.
I became aware of your group after reading the constitution
for the first time, which I am embarrassed to say was two
years ago. The particular website (forgot address) in which I
read the constitution had a link to your site. However, before
learning of your group I had been aware of the possible
unconstitutionality of the income tax law, I had attended a
few meetings in which the speaker of the meeting would discuss
how the income tax and the IRS were unconstitutional, however
they only gave bits of information and in order to get you out
of the income tax system legally they required a small fee of
$2000 (sarcastic emphasis), this I had a problem with, and
didn’t pursue the issue any further until the day I read the
constitution. Upon reading the constitution it became very
apparent that the income tax law is unconstitutional. I
further want to say that I agree with WTP in its efforts and
approaches in peacefully asking our government to address our
grievances, employing our first amendment right.
Unfortunately, most Americans, such as I until recently, have
never read or studied the Constitution (which should be a
mandatory subject taught in our high schools) or are willing
to defend it against our own government. The mentality of most
the people that I discuss this issue with is “what can I do
about it, if I don’t pay my taxes I will go to jail” or “there
isn’t anything I can do about it” and worse yet “it’s
unpatriotic not to pay your taxes”. Furthermore, people have
this belief that the country would fall apart financially if
the government didn’t collect income taxes. These comments and
beliefs tend to irritate me and I reply that the government
collects more than enough money to run the country through
other forms of taxation (i.e. sales, property, excise etc.)
and that there is something they can do; 1). Read the
constitution, 2). Join WTP or at least get on the email list
to educate yourself, 3). It’s unpatriotic to pay the income
tax, since it is a violation of our Constitution, 4). Quit
paying the income tax, by checking the exempt box on the W4
form and not filing a 1040. If every American did this, then
WTP would surely get an answer from our government. I am open
to any suggestions you may have on how to respond to these
types of comments.
I would like
to comment on the new issue at hand the US/Israeli policy. I
read all the email responses (Agree and Not Agree) and feel
that both groups make good points. I feel that WTP should
remain fully focused on the original four petitions until
those have been resolved and that the Israel issue can cause
conflict within the support of members of WTP, because of
religious contentions. However, I also believe that the
US
should not give financial support to any foreign country and
have our military stationed in foreign countries. When did it
become
USA’s
job to financially support and police the world? Especially
when there are so many problems in the USA, such as; 1). Most
Americans live at or just above poverty, 2). The many
homeless, 3). Teachers are underpaid; therefore our youth are
getting a substandard education, 4). Every American should
they want, be able to get a college education without having
to accrue thousands of dollars in student loan debt, 5).
Universal health care should be provided to every American, no
one should have to die because they couldn’t afford the
necessary medical procedure or medications. These are only a
few of the problems that the tax payers’ money given to
foreign countries could and should support. I know that some
would say it is necessary to help other countries in need, for
their economic development or for security from oppressive
governments and invading dictators. But again I ask why it is
the financial responsibility of the American people. Our
forefathers fought against the oppression of the English
monarchy to become free without any substantial support from
foreign countries, and since then our military has ensured our
freedom. Back to the Israeli conflict and some of the comments
in the email responses pertaining to the religious card. It
appears that some of the members of WTP support
Israel
solely on the basis of religious beliefs, which is their
right. However, I will only stand behind governmental policies
that are based solely on what is constitutionally right for
all the American people and not based on religious beliefs. I
will support WTP in fighting any issue/policy that is against
our constitution, however I do believe that WTP should
concentrate most of its resources and time on the first 4
petitions, fight one battle at a time, spreading ourselves too
thin can lead to no victories. I do want to say that I agree
for the most part that the US support for Israel has lead to
many Arabs dislike of Americans, thereby perpetuating
terrorism. Further suggesting that the US should not support
either side. Let them fight their own battles. The last
comment I have is on the invasion followed by oppressive
governmental rule on indigenous people, is that most Americans
forget about the holocaust and oppression of the first
Americans the Native Americans. Have they really gained back
the land that was taken from them?
Thank you for listening,
Tracy

While all that you have said may
be true concerning U.S. and the Israel lobby, the waters have
been indeed muddied concerning our tax protest movement. We
will certainly have no less opponents to our petition process
hereafter; and I doubt much increase in proponents.
Yet, I agree that there is a
greater cause for the deviation; but that cause is
multifaceted and convoluted with intrigue and subterfuge. It
will be a nightmare to navigate and expect our undereducated,
unaware and apathetic general U.S. population to follow.
Better that we concentrate on
rectifying our fraudulent tax system (which most have no
affinity) and allow the issue of Apartheid to be confronted by
another organization apart from We The People.
However, I suspect that the damage
has already been done and maybe irreparable.

Subject: US support of Israel
Hi Bob and all at WTP,
I believe I truly have an insight into the issue of US
support of Israel that most do not.
I studied in Cairo and Israel when I was in college back in
1996. I studied specifically the Palestinian/Israeli conflict.
I am a devoted protestant Christian and have no bias toward
the Jewish faith, Jesus was a Jew. Please let me point out
some, very relevant, specifics that, I believe, have not been
addressed as of yet.
1. The current state of Israel, as a manifestation of
Zionism, is a purely SECULAR state. Zionism, the belief that
the Jews should have an exclusive homeland, is purely SECULAR
in its conception, philosophy, and application. The vast
majority of Jews in Israel at this time are in fact atheists,
unless a mass Judaic revival has happened that I am unaware
of.
The Bible has no place in the politics of Israel, if it did we
could apply these Old Testament verses as a righteous rebuke
to the modern state of Israel:
“You shall not taunt a stranger or oppress him, for you were
strangers in the land of Egypt. You shall not cause pain to
any widow or orphan.” (Ex. 22:20-21)
“And when a stranger resides among you in your Land, you
shall not taunt him. The stranger who resides with you shall
be to you as the native among you, and you shall love him as
yourself, because you were strangers in the land of Egypt; I
am HaShem your God.” (Lev. 19:33-34)
2. Many countries receive monetary aid from the US. But the
aid given to most, if not all, countries is of a humanitarian
nature EXCEPT Israel which receives aid intended for MILITARY
purposes. This changes the whole issue regarding US aid to the
international community regarding Israel.
To close I have to say that in my time studying in Israel I
learned some cold facts. Israel, as a government is very
similar to the German government 60+ years ago. I heard
nothing from Israelis but attempts at justification for crimes
against the Palestinian humanity. I talked with many
Palestians, including the most oppressed who were Christian
Palestinians, and I heard sincere, heartfelt stories of
torment, suffering, sacrifice, theft, rape and torture at the
hands of Israelis and the Israeli government. It is
unjustifiable and certainly leaves the US' hand bloodied for
its' collaboration/facilitation of these crimes.
To those who blindly support Israel: Do you blindly obey the
US government ? Do you blindly file income tax returns ? The
same brainwashing that had most of filing in the past is
similar to the "support the children of Israel" dogma I read
in the "not agree" section and have been combating this
erroneous view for years.
Keep up the fight Bob and WTP,
Respectfully
Dean

In reading the

writers were not careful readers. It struck me that many read
"U.S., Israel, AIPAC: "No, Thank You" Palestine: "Yes, Thank
You" was in some way a WTP rejection of Israel and endorsement
of Palestine. We the People should be more careful before we
permit our personal biases or beliefs to color our discourse,
lest we totally lose are ability to have discourse.

Dear Bob:
Regarding
your
4-10-07 WTP message and after reading the 'agree and
disagree' writings, there is no doubt that our people are
woefully ignorant of Scriptural truth. Some profess to be
Christians but they are sadly misinformed about who the real
Israel
is. " The name "Israel" appears over 2500 times in the Bible
and since it is to the Israelites that "pertaineth the
adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of
the law......and the promises", (Romans 9:4) it would be well
for Christians to know as much about these people as we can.
To remain ignorant of their true identity and as to their true
place in Bible prophecy and history is well pleasing to
forces of Satan and darkness, but it does not please our Lord
Jesus Christ." This is from "Suppose We are Israel, Does it
Make a Difference?" a small tract isssued by Christ's Gospel
Fellowship in Spokane, WN. This is a very good place to
begin in order to understand Biblical Israel and who the
imposters are. Until Christians dust off their shelved Bibles
and read with understanding, there will never be any change in
all the problems connected with the pseudo mini-state of 'israel'.
Some knowledge of how the Zionists claimed Palestinian land
(and still are) is found in the book by the former
U.S.
congressman Paul Findley, "Deliberate Deceptions."
It appears
that you are in a good position to bring forth the truth, but
as always it will probably only bring more condemnation and
accusations your way if you decide that it's worth it. If you
would like to have the above mentioned four-page tract, I
would be happy to send it. And unlike those that for various
uninformed reasons want to unsubscribe, I don't! Please keep
up your needful work.....you are indeed appreciated. Thank
you.

Response to the April 10th Article
Hi Bob and Company.
I responded to the prior list of questions you asked.
I read the recent article and see that my point regarding the
Citizenship of Birth of the Jordanian (allegedly Palestinian)
Dr. who addressed us did not
I have endeavored to stay on point to your questons without
trying to move focus off of your questuons, and bringing up
the fact that Congress has given millions to the PA to fund
programs like their Seseme Street Child Jihad TV show, the
evidence I possess of formerly U.S. Service Rifles being
comingled with arms for a Million Men that was removed out of
an 8 mile deep cave in souther Lebanon in 1980, and the
actions taken by IDF to suppress protests by Orthodox Jews and
groups like Women in Green.
Clearly, the US is arming both sides of conflict. That brings
a biblical curse upon this land.
Clearly, the enrichment of Israel due to the theft and
terrorism wrought upon Americans by the IRS makes Israel the
same kind of G-Dless government as our own.
Clearly, Israel had every reason to know that War was again
coming in 1968, terrorist Egyptians were operating out of
Gaza, Syria was overtly shelling Gallalee, and Jordan placed
its army under the Command of the Soviet Backed Egyptians,
Clearly, Israel decimated the crew of the USS Liberty, just
like our Friend IRaq practically blew the USS Stark in half
with theur French Mirage Jets firing Exocet Missiles.
Clearly, Israel is not interested in letting America be its
defender, and we should not be its defender if we are to avoid
foregin entaglements.
Clearly, Israel will continue to be active in its
Intelligence operations in the US and if it deems necessary,
will take covert actions as it deems fit even within the US,
even against US individuals.
Clearly, before the 1968 War, the Dr. who addressed us last
Month was a Jordanian, and the town he lived in was in Jordan.
Clearly, conquered people lose rights. Thi is why Christians
do not understand the Pay unto Ceaser what is Ceaser's.
Clearly, when terrorists are of a particular persuasion and
culture, profiling becomes inherent in the equation of law
enforcment efforts to avert terroristic acts.
Clearly, the Israel question is the worst case scenario of
forewarned "foreign entanglements." For that it deserves some
scrutiny.
Clearly, the Dr. strained credulity, and thus his voice
brought no valid testimony.
Clearly, a couple of weeks before our conference, the
President of Israel had to stand down from his office for a
period of tme, raising an ARAB to that office in that interim,
thus the claim of Apartied is false and the Dr. is a liar to
claim otherwise.
Clearly, ARABS serve in the Israeli Army. Their service is not
compulsory as it is to the Jews.
Clearly, the failure of Israel and the Lobby to appear
reveals an equal level of dishonesty, and the tactic of not
appearing was so that the Dr. alone would strain his
credibility. That is damaging enough, so they needed no words
to be said to make that happen..
Clearly, Israel will do what is best for Israel.
We should do what is best for Israel, which means stay out of
pressuring land for peace, and do not allow Israel to continue
to hold an unrighteous position of enrichment upon the
opression and destruction of American Citizens at the hands of
the IRS and the DOJ.
Israel will thrive, and wants us out of its business. And
they should not receive American Blood money.
International Aid reform is a Consitutional Issue.
I will support continued discussion and exchange on this
matter, and am glad that WTP had the fortitude to breech the
subject.
Yet, as you can see, it is nether Carter, nor the Professors,
nor the guile of that Dr. that leads me to my points of
support. But the facts of Israel's soverignty, the prior
sovereignty of Gaza, Golan, and West Bank held by Jordan,
Egypt, and Syria respectively, the fact that there were no
such people as Palestinian's, and our governemtn claiming to
be Israel's friend while arming its terrorist enemies which
raises the facts and true moral issue.
Such duplicity brings upon US a biblibal curse.
I look forward to seeing any challenges to my statements of
fact, which undermine the justification of certain parties.

Subject: My $0.02 on Israel issue
Hi Bob ...
I've been reading the various e-mails that have come out
against your
proposal to *discuss* the Israel / Palestine problem in the
middle east, and our "government's" role in it. First, I find
nothing in this that is "anti-Israel" or "Jew hating" about
discussing the issue ... in fact, I would say it is
pro-Israel. If there is something that we or our government
is doing that shouldn't, we need to know and *do* something
about it, whether it is in regards to Israel or our selves.
Are we or our government really helping, or are we hurting
Israel?
How are we suppose to help? I think your response to the
criticism and the
Scriptures are a good resource to answer this.
To all, I think we need to focus on the issue at hand, fixing
our nation's flaws ... if that requires addressing foreign
relations with Israel, then let's deal objectively with that
particular issue in context.
To those that have withdrawn their support of WTP, I am
somewhat disappointed. To me, the point of having a
productive discussion about an issue is to gather and *share*
facts from as many sources as possible to get the best picture
and understanding of what is the TRUTH. If one just say
basically, "I quit", I see this as a non-contribution and
retards the progress of enlightenment and truth, especially to
the one that turns away. Last time I checked, God didn't tell
me everything I should know and do. I have to search things
out. I am certain He will reveal what is true as I (we) seek
it, instead of hiding from it. I know I need to understand
this issue better before I make an informed decision on it, so
please help shed your light on the subject.
To those in opposition, does it matter who the experts
(*humans* with a greater amount of experience / knowledge) are
on this matter? What if what they say IS TRUE? A good dose
of skepticism is healthy, so long as it doesn't override all
reason and cause the gold to be discarded with the dross, or
to "throw the baby out with the bath water." If something
they say is false, then please back your assertions of the
contrary with relevant evidence that can be evaluated (and
please leave the straw men out). Thanks.
Thank you for your vigilance, Bob. Keep up the good fight
...
Regards,
Seth
