In the mid to late 1940s the worldwide press had hidden much if the Jews humanitarian efforts because much of the press was and still is very liberal and anti-God. So I believe those of us who support Israel need to make up for this hidden publicity by announcing the great contributions that Israel has and is making worldwide.
For example: My novel Rebirth tells a story about the Jews in Palestine before their miraculous independence, of how they initiated dozens peace talks with the Arab leaders in that region, while there is no record that I could find of Arabs calling for peace meetings. Arabs leaders would either show up late or not at all in many cases.
I find it unthinkable that our American president Obama has not learned this information and fails to see that this an ageless pattern of Arabs in general––not all Arabs, but certainly the majority.
If we don't tell the world they are making a mistake by blackballing this Israel great deeds, who will?
Israel was the first country in the world to send aid to Haiti after the earthquake. Israel was among the most generous countries after the tsunami in Asia. And now, when disaster struck in Japan, Israel was the first to dispatch a field hospital to assist in the recovery effort.
The Israelis also ran a pediatric field hospital in Rwanda during the Tutsi genocide, assisted the Albanians during the Kosovo war and helped Turkey following the 1999 earthquake.
However, Israel's amazing altruism never had its legitimate space in the global media, because this radical goodness doesn't fit in with the Zionist stereotype of the colonialist, fascist and apartheid occupier.

Today's terror was yesterday's terror
My upcoming novel Rebirth shows the same tactics that Arabs learned from Nazis:
Big Iranian weapons shipments seized off the coast of Gaza; an Israeli family of five slaughtered in their beds; a barrage of more than 90 rockets fired at Israeli population centers over the past few days; and the terrorist attack at a bus station in Jerusalem are not isolated events. Nor are they outbursts of random violence by otherwise peace-loving Palestinians driven to despair by a stalemated peace process.
These outrages are better understood as part of a strategic campaign by hardened terrorist groups, closely tied to Iran, Syria, and Hizbullah, to divert attention from the popular uprisings that have targeted tyrannical governments across the Middle East.
Iran, Syria, and their allies want to change the subject as fast as possible. The easiest way to do that has always been to trigger a major dustup with Israel.

Pray for Jerusalem - terror struck
My novel Rebirth has helped me more than ever to keep watch and inform others to continue praying for Israel.
Today brought the news we all dread: another terrorist attack in Israel.
The terrorist’s bomb exploded near a bus stop in central Jerusalem and as of this writing, one person has died and 39 more are reported injured. Israeli authorities have set up roadblocks throughout the city to capture the perpetrator(s) of this cowardly attack, which comes on the heels of increased rocket and mortar fire on Israeli cities like Be’er Sheva and Ashkelon.
Click HERE on Victims of Terror Fund to support this tragedy financially.
If you are not financially able to give to an Israeli charity fund, you can certainly help by adding Israel to your regular prayer list.

If Israel was better recognized in 1948...
As my new novel Rebirth is fresh on my mind since I recently finished it, I'm still amazed that what I researched from 1948 still holds true today. It's as if the opposers of Israel have not emerged out of the past. This recent story that was just posted today if right from a scene in Rebirth!
If Israel was recognized in 1948, then the Palestinians would have been able to free themselves from the hollow promises of some Arab dictators who kept telling them that the refugees would be back in their homes and all Arab lands will be liberated and Israel will be sent to the bottom of the sea.
Some Arab leaders used the Palestinians for their own agenda to suppress their own people and to stay in power.
Since 1948, if an Arab politician wanted to be the hero and the leader of the Arab world, then he has a very easy way to do it. He just shouts as loud as he can about the intention to destroy Israel, without mobilizing one soldier.
Now, the Palestinians are on their own. Each Arab country is busy with its own crisis. For now, the Arab countries have put the Palestinian-Israeli conflict on hold.

Why can't we have a home like everyone else?
In my novel titled Rebirth, about the rebirth of Israel in 1948, settlements of Jews were a hot topic in the international community. And even prior to 1948, when the Jews were finally liberated from Hitler's grip, no country wanted the Jews to settle in their land––with no place to go, they acted on God's promise in Amos 9:14,15.
As one who has long entertained doubts about the wisdom and viability of much of the settlement enterprise, I find myself cheering Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for announcing, in the wake of the Fogel family massacre, the construction of hundreds of additional homes in the settlements. Israel's consistent mistake since the peace process began nearly 18 years ago was to suppose that conspicuous displays of reasonableness and moderation would beget likewise on the other side. The reality has been closer to the opposite.
For 60 years, no nation has been held to such stringent moral account, or such ceaseless international hectoring, as Israel. And no people has been held to so slight an account as the Palestinians. Palestinians have grown accustomed to the waiver the rest of the world has consistently granted them over the years no matter what they do.

Arabs copy what Jews knew over 60 years ago!
My new novel Rebirth chronicles the UN's very first initiative as a world peacekeeping court. The Jews in Palestine applied for statehood and rallied many countries to support Israel becoming a nation. The UN passed resolution 181 to favor a split state between Arabs and Jews. The Jews agreed, and the Arabs rejected it, and the rest is history!
Now the Palestinians are trying to duplicate what the Jews did over 60 years ago. Except they are publicly denouncing Israel's existence and trying to avert the peace process all together. The Jews of Palestine in 1947 took the legitimate route. But the Palestinians are trying to sneak this one in with no regard to ethics.
Palestinian leaders are embarking on a risky statehood strategy that will include UN resolutions, boycotts against Israeli products, complaints in international courts, and attempts to win formal recognition from as many countries as possible, Palestinian officials say. Israelis dismiss the campaign as a ploy to bypass the negotiating table. The next step will come later this month when Palestinians hope to extract a public commitment from the Middle East Quartet that any peace deal be based on the pre-1967 armistice lines. Israel rejects the 1967 lines as a basis for talks.
To overcome a possible U.S. veto at the Security Council, Palestinians say they plan to take their case to the UN General Assembly, where they believe they would have a majority of the votes. They plan to invoke UN Resolution 377, which allows the General Assembly to approve binding, albeit harder to enforce, resolutions in the event of deadlock at the Security Council.
However, a senior Obama administration official called the Palestinian approach "a strategic mistake. It's not going to be a successful strategy. Lining up countries to recognize a Palestinian state is not a substitute for successful negotiation with the Israelis."

Make up your mind Obama!
While writing my new novel Rebirth, about the rebirth of Israel in 1948, I have learned that my country of which I love, has been historically divided over supporting Israel. I understand that since we have liberals and conservatives in our government, but those who oppose Israel are missing why we should support them.
Besides the obvious reasons stated in Genesis 12:3 'I will bless those who bless you (Israel) and curse those who treat you with contempt'... Israel is our best strategic partner in helping us combat terrorism!
We have never had a president that has been so flippant about Israel since Jimmy Carter, like our current president Obama. He can't make up his mind if he can stick to American policy or not.
This article by Israel Alert shows why:
In an hour-long meeting Tuesday with about 50 representatives from the Jewish community's chief foreign policy umbrella group, the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, President Obama reportedly urged Jewish leaders to "search your souls" over Israel's seriousness about making peace. While top leaders welcomed the meeting and noted the president's affirmation of his "deep commitment to Israel's security," several participants told JTA that the president also implied that Israel bears primary responsibility for advancing the peace process. Obama also reportedly said that the Arab sections of Jerusalem would not remain in Israeli hands as part of any peace deal.

Denial, denial. denial...
In my novel Rebirth, I've already had numerous opposition in speaking good things about Israel. Below is a perfect example of radical Islamist opposition to teaching factual history about the holocaust. This is because the radical Islamist cannot accept that the Jews have been persecuted for thousands of years. If they were to accept this reality, then the world would have to accept the Jews and Israel as a legitimate nation!
The history of the Holocaust is planned to be included as part of a human rights curriculum in UN-run schools attended by more than 200,000 Palestinian children in Gaza. However, Hamas has said it will do all it can to stop the teaching of Holocaust studies. "We cannot agree to a program that is intended to poison the minds of our children," said a statement from the ministry for refugee affairs. "Holocaust studies in refugee camps is a contemptible plot and serves the Zionist entity."
