The False Promise Of Peace With Arab Countries
 
A majority of Israelis would like to be at peace with our neighbors, but decades of experience have led us to seriously contemplate the concessions we are interested in making in return for a false peace.

BORN ALIVE ABORTIONS: Days After Gov. Cuomo Signs Extreme Baby Killing Bill, Democrats In Virginia And Rhode Island Want To Enact Similar Laws

by Geoffrey Grider

democratic-party-after-birth-abortions-merchants-of-death-andrew-cuomo-end-times-baby-killers

A Democratic lawmaker in the Virginia House of Delegates proposed a bill Tuesday that would allow abortions through the end of the third trimester of pregnancy.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo set in motion a macabre wheel of death when he signed in to law the New York  Reproductive Health Act last week. At the moment he did, it officially made New York state the only state in the country to authorize the killing of a born alive baby. But what a difference 7 days make.
"And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bowshot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept." Genesis 21:16 (KJV)
Now the Democratic governors of both Virginia and Rhode Island are saying that they will sign bills that do everything that New York's Act does, and then go a few, pardon the pun, baby steps further. In 2019, The Democratic Party has rebranded itself as the 'Merchant of Death' Party by making the mind-numbing leap from abortion pre-born babies in the womb to slicing their throats after they are born alive and healthy.
In the 1991 movie, 'What About Bob?', Bill Murray plays Bob Wiley, a hilarious multi-phobic patient of psychiatrist Dr. Leo Marvin, played by Richard Dreyfuss. A highlight of the movie is the 'death therapy' protocol designed by Dr. Marvin in a desperate attempt to rid himself of his patient Bob Wiley. But there is nothing funny about using the 'death therapy' being pushed by the Democrats to rid themselves of babies that they created but no longer want.

Northam on Abortion Bill: Infant Could Be Delivered and Then ‘Physicians and the Mother’ Could Decide If It Lives

FROM WASHINGTON FREE BEACON: Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D.) commented Wednesday about a controversial 40-week abortion bill and in so doing said the law allows an abortion to take place after the infant's birth.
"If a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen. The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother," Northam said, alluding to the physician and mother discussing whether the born infant should live or die.
A Democratic lawmaker in the Virginia House of Delegates proposed a bill Tuesday that would allow abortions through the end of the third trimester of pregnancy. The video of Delegate Kathy Tran presenting her bill led to an exchange where she admitted that her bill would allow for a mother to abort her child minutes before giving birth. READ MORE

Catholic Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo Vows to Sign Bill Legalizing Abortions Up to Birth

FROM LIFE NEWS: Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo is pushing a radical pro-abortion bill in her state while claiming to be Catholic. The legislation, which contradicts the teachings of the Catholic Church, would legalize abortions for basically any reason up to birth. A state House committee is expected to vote on the bill today.
Earlier this month, Raimondo promised to support the pro-abortion bill in her State of the State address, NBC 10 reports.
“Let’s make this the year we codify women’s access to reproductive health care here in Rhode Island,” Raimondo said.
The Rhode Island Reproductive Health Care Act, co-sponsored by state Sen. Gayle L. Goldin and Rep. Edith H. Ajello, would strip away even minor, common-sense abortion regulations – ones that a strong majority of Americans support. It would eliminate all protections for unborn babies and codify Roe v. Wade into state law in case the U.S. Supreme Court overturns the ruling.
The bill appears to allow restrictions for late-term abortions, but it adds a broad “health” exception for abortions after viability. The exception would allow women to abort unborn babies up to nine months of pregnancy for basically any “health” reason, including “age, economic, social and emotional factors,” a definition given by the U.S. Supreme Court in the case Doe v.

Dems: Communists and Muslims who hate Israel and America

By John McTernan on Jan 31st 
These are Communists and Muslims who hate Israel and most likely America! This is what the Dems are turning into as the Party is now homosexuals, abortionists, Communists, Muslims and whatever else is against the Lord and his word.

This Year of 2019 Is Looking More And More Like That It will Be The Year When The Democrats EMBRACE FULL COMMUNISIM AND COMPLETE GODLESSNESS, As They Are Set To Remove "So Help You God" From Witness Oaths!!

Pelosi And The Democrats Set To Remove ‘So Help You God’ From Witness Oath Taken In Front Of Key House Committee

by Geoffrey Grider

nancy-pelosi-democrats-remove-so-help-you-god-from-key-house-committee-congress-godless

A key committee in the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives is moving to eliminate the God reference from the oath administered to witnesses testifying before the panel, as part of a new rules package expected to be approved this week, according to a draft obtained exclusively by Fox News.

With each passing day, 2019 is looking more and more like it will be the year when the Democrats finally embrace full Communism and complete godlessness. From the cheers erupting from New York after Liberal Democrat Gov. Andrew Cuomo signs a bill creating the most astounding pro-abortion laws in United States history, to becoming the party of anti-semitism, the Democratic Party is imploding under the sheer weight of their own collective atheism.
"The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good." Psalm 53:1 (KJV)
There can no longer be any question, America is in the throes of a cataclysmic paradigm shift that is pulling down the very pillars upon which this nation was founded. I can remember back in school where Socialism and Communism were presented as evils to be shunned, and not a goal to strive towards. Yet in our day, America seems hellbent on becoming the very thing that for centuries we believed was wicked and immoral.

Dems to strike 'so help you God' from oath taken in front of key House committee, draft shows

FROM FOX NEWS: The draft shows that the House Committee on Natural Resources would ask witnesses to recite only, "Do you solemnly swear or affirm, under penalty of law, that the testimony that you are about to give is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?"
The rules proposal places the words "so help you God" in red brackets, indicating they are slated to be cut. The words "under penalty of law" are in red text, indicating that Democrats propose to add that phrasing to the oath.
The draft rules also remove the phrase "his or her" throughout the document, changing those two pronouns to "their." The rules additionally modify all references to the committee's "Chairman" to instead refer only to the committee's "Chair."\
Other rules changes relate to expanding the committee's authority over natural gas in Alaska and fossil-fuel resources. While many federal oaths include the phrase "so help me God," some -- most notably the presidential oath of office -- do not.
The full committee is set to vote on the new language this week, and the rules would take effect immediately if adopted. Other committees were still in the process of finalizing their rules on Monday.

Republican leaders reacted with dismay to the proposed change, and suggested it was a sign of the Democratic Party's leftward shift.

“It is incredible, but not surprising, that the Democrats would try to remove God from committee proceedings in one of their first acts in the majority," House Republican Conference Chairwoman Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., told Fox News. "They really have become the party of Karl Marx.”
Spokespeople for the Natural Resources Committee did not immediately reply to Fox News' requests for comment. The committee, which has oversight of national parks, wildlife and energy, is chaired by Democratic Arizona Rep. Raul Grijalva.
The proposed change was not the first time Democrats have sought to strike references to God in official party documents. In 2012, the floor of the Democratic National Convention erupted over a sudden move to restore to the platform a reference to God and recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital -- after heavy criticism from Republicans for initially omitting them. Democrats, though, were hardly in agreement over the reversal.
A large and loud group of delegates shouted "no" as the convention chairman (then-Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa) called for the vote. Villaraigosa had to call for the vote three times before ruling that the "ayes" had it. Many in the crowd booed after he determined the language would be restored. READ MORE

"The Palestinian Jihad Against Peace" Plus FOUR More Splendid Articles From "The Gatestone Institute"!


The Palestinian Jihad Against Peace

by Bassam Tawil  •  January 29th 
  • According to US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, an upcoming US-sponsored global summit to discuss the Middle East and Iran will "bring together dozens of countries from all around the world, from Asia, from Africa, from Western Hemisphere countries, Europe too, the Middle East of course."
  • The Palestinian strategy is now based on inciting Arabs against their leaders. This is the message that Abbas and his officials are sending to the Arabs: "You need to join us in our campaign to stop our leaders from making peace with Israel. You must condemn any leader who seeks normalization with Israel as a traitor."
  • Other senior Palestinian officials have gone further by warning the Arab countries that any form of normalization with Israel would be considered an act of treason
  • It now remains to be seen whether the Arab countries will surrender to the latest campaign of Palestinian incitement and intimidation.

As part of the "anti-normalization" campaign, Palestinian leaders are putting pressure on Arab countries to boycott a US-sponsored global summit to discuss the Middle East and Iran. According to US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo (center), the summit will "bring together dozens of countries from all around the world, from Asia, from Africa, from Western Hemisphere countries, Europe too, the Middle East of course."

Palestinian leaders have recently stepped up their efforts to stop Arab countries from normalizing their relations -- or even signing peace agreements -- with Israel.
The campaign comes against a backdrop of reports about the warming of relations between Israel and some Arab countries, including a recent visit to Oman by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The specter of peace between the Arab countries and Israel has become a nightmare for Palestinian leaders. Instead of worrying about building a better future -- which the Palestinians desperately need -- Palestinian leaders are feverishly working to thwart any attempt to bring the Arab countries closer to Israel.
As part of the "anti-normalization" campaign, the Palestinian leaders in the West Bank are now putting pressure on the Arab countries to boycott a US-sponsored global summit to discuss the Middle East and Iran, which is scheduled for next month in Poland.

Turkey: Imprisoning Dissidents while Bidding for EU Membership

by Uzay Bulut  •  January 29th 
  • Erdogan did not hide the fact that his statements promising "freedom of faith, freedom of thought and freedom of opinion" were part of his "preparations for the 2019 local elections." The Turkish president did, however, hide the fact that his words were completely false.
  • On December 19, Prof. Åžebnem Korur Fincancı, president of the Human Rights Foundation of Turkey (TIHV), was sentenced to two and a half years in prison for being one of 2,212 signatories to an "Academics for Peace" petition in 2016. The petition called on the Turkish government to cease its violence against the Kurds in southeastern Turkey. Fincancı is one of 429 academics who, as of December 19, have stood on trial since December 5.
  • ErdoÄŸan was not telling the truth when he declared that everyone in Turkey would enjoy "freedom of faith, freedom of thought and freedom of opinion." In fact, Turkish jails and prisons are so packed with people imprisoned for expressing their beliefs, that the government just announced it will be building 228 more prisons over the next five years to accommodate the overflow.
  • Simultaneously, Turkey is stepping up its decades-long bid to become a member of the European Union. As part of this bid, Turkish Justice Minister Abdulhamit Gul announced on December 11 that he would be unveiling a new strategy for judicial reform. Under no circumstances should the EU allow itself to be duped by such a transparently deceptive and deceitful move.

On December 19, Prof. Şebnem Korur Fincancı, president of the Human Rights Foundation of Turkey, was sentenced to two and a half years in prison for being one of 2,212 signatories to an "Academics for Peace" petition, which called on the Turkish government to cease its violence against the Kurds in southeastern Turkey. Pictured: Fincancı receives the Physicians for Human Rights award in New York City on April 18, 2017. (Photo by Andrew Toth/Getty Images for Physicians for Human Rights)
At a rally in Ankara over the summer, held by the women's branch of Turkey's ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), Turkish President Recep Tayyip ErdoÄŸan announced:
"From now on, there will be no fight for freedom of faith, freedom of thought and freedom of opinion. Everyone will be free in their own faith [and] be free to live accordingly. [Everyone will be at liberty to] say whatever he [or she] believes in."
Erdogan did not hide the fact that his statements at the August gathering were part of his "preparations for the 2019 local elections," scheduled for March 31. The Turkish president did, however, hide the fact that his words were completely false. To illustrate, let us review some of the human-rights abuses in ErdoÄŸan's Turkey that took place in one month, December 2018, alone.

Preparing for Peace - The Palestinian Way

by Khaled Abu Toameh  •  January 29th 
  • If, in the eyes of the Palestinian Authority (PA) leadership, normalization with Israel is an act of "treason," a "crime" and a "big political and national sin," the Trump administration may well be wasting its time and prestige on a peace plan that envisions peace between the Arab countries and Israel, at least at this time.
  • To achieve peace with Israel, Palestinian leaders need to prepare their people -- and all Arabs and Muslims -- for peace and compromise with Israel, and not, as they are now doing, the exact opposite. Shaming and denouncing Arabs who visit Israel is hardly a way to prepare anyone for peace, or the possibility of any compromise.
  • Meanwhile, the Trump administration and the international community would be doing a real service to the Palestinians if they start paying attention to assaults on public freedoms, including freedom of the media, in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Holding Palestinian leaders accountable for their systematic abuses of public freedoms, assaults on journalists and incitement is the only way to encourage badly needed moderate and pragmatic Palestinians and Arabs to speak out.

While the Palestinian Authority (PA) continues to arrest and intimidate Palestinian journalists in the West Bank, its loyalists are also waging a campaign against Arab journalists who dare to visit Israel.
This month alone, the PA security forces have arrested nine Palestinian journalists, according to the Palestinian Committee for Supporting Journalists.
One of the journalists, Yousef al-Faqeeh, 33, a reporter for the London-based Quds Press News Agency, was taken into custody on January 16. On January 27, a PA court ordered al-Faqeeh remanded into custody for 14 days. His family said that they still do not know why he was arrested.
Al-Faqeeh's wife, Suhad, said that PA security officers raided their house; when Yousef asked whether they had a search warrant, they proceeded to arrest him. "They took him to an unknown destination and did not provide a reason for his arrest," she said. "They also confiscated his computer and mobile phone."

Austria Must Recognize Alevism as Distinct from Islam

by Uzay Bulut  •  January 29th 
  • "Anyone who studies and researches our faith a little bit would understand that. Alevism is a distinct faith. Alevism has been affected by Christianity, as well. Does that make [it] a branch of Christianity? And Islam has been affected by Judaism. Is Islam a branch of Judaism?" -- Zeynep Arslan, Vice-President of the Austrian Federation of Alevi Unions.
  • "Although the officials of the lands where we live have signed agreements of international law, they never implement what is required by the law. Our religious rights and freedoms are guaranteed by international law, but our places of worship, cem houses, are not recognized [by the government]; our taxes are collected without our consent to be used to pay the salaries of imams who reject or insult us... Alevi school children still have to enroll in compulsory Islamic courses, in spite of rulings by the European Court of Human Rights." – Public statement by Alevi leaders in Turkey, in support of the Austrian Federation of Alevi Unions, January 3, 2019.
  • Alevis have been suffering from Islamic intolerance in their home country, Turkey, for a century. They are now struggling against rising Islamic supremacism in Europe. Let us hope that Austria's high court does the right thing this week and accepts their petition to be recognized as a distinct faith.

The Austrian Supreme Administrative Court is set to issue a ruling on a petition by the Austrian Federation of Alevi Unions to have their religion officially recognized as separate from Islam -- and not part of the updated version of the 1912 Islam Law, which went into effect in 2015. The new law recognizes two "Islamic religious societies" -- the Islamic Community in Austria, which represents Islam's Sunni sects, and the Islamic Alevi Community in Austria, which is defined as an "Islamic sect."
Austrian Federation of Alevi Unions president, Özgür Turak, told Gatestone about the legal struggle for official recognition of Alevism as distinct from Islam:

India: The Upper House of Parliament Must Help Muslim Women, Endorse the Bill Banning the Practice of "Triple Talaq"

by Jagdish N. Singh  •  January 29th 
  • The All India Muslim Personal Law Board has argued that the bill amounts to interference with religious law, and therefore violates the Constitution of India. This objection might be thought of as disingenuous. According to Article 44 of the Constitution, "The State shall endeavour to secure for the citizens a uniform civil code throughout the territory of India."
  • By contrast, triple talaq is a unilateral, arbitrary tool in the hands of men against women, a condition what that is simply not acceptable in modern India.
  • For decades, Indian courts have upheld the precedence of Muslim women's right to equality over Muslim Personal Law. The court ruled in 1985 that the denial of alimony was a violation of Bano's fundamental rights, regardless of her religion, and that triple talaq ran contrary to those rights. In other words, Muslim women must enjoy the same rights as other women in India.
  • India's Parliament must do the right thing for the country's Muslim women, as it did nearly 64 years ago for the country's Hindu women. Until the passage of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, Hindu women in India were not at liberty to divorce their husbands, while Hindu men were free to engage in polygamy. It will be a shattering miscarriage of justice if oppositionist politicians succeed in blocking this much-needed bill.

The Narendra Modi government in New Delhi deserves applause for passing the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill, 2018, which criminalizes the practice of "triple talaq" -- a medieval, patriarchal divorce procedure still in use in many Muslim communities in India and abroad. All this procedure requires for a man to divorce his wife is to repeat the word "talaq" three times.
In order for the bill -- passed by India's Lower House of Parliament (Lok Sabha) on December 27, 2018 -- to be written into Indian law, it needs approval by the Parliament's Upper House (Rajya Sabha).
In an attempt to keep this from happening, radical Islamist groups, such as the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB), are attempting to join forces with opposition parties to torpedo the bill. Oppositionists on the left have accused the bill of violating fundamental human rights and of constituting "an assault on the Muslim family structure."

ANIMALS OVER BABIES: NARAL-Endorsed Pro-Abortion Florida Democratic Congressman Ted Deutch Wants To Pass Bill Making Cruelty To Animals A Federal Crime With 7 Years In Prison

by Geoffrey Grider

florida-congressman-ted-deutch-pro-abortion-wants-jail-time-for-animal-cruelty-naral

Rep. Ted Deutch, whose district represents parts of Palm Beach and Broward Counties, is one of the main sponsors of the Preventing Animal Cruelty and Torture Act, or PACT, along with Rep. Vern Buchanan of Sarasota.

So let's see if I have this right. Democratic congressman Ted Deutch, who has voted to unrestricted access to abortion under all conditions and at all times, wants to put people in prison for being cruel to animals. Babies have have their brains sucked out and thrown in the garbage in the third trimester, but kicking your dog is worthy of prison. What a crazy, sick world this is becoming.
Here is how Ted Deutch has voted on pro-abortion bills since 2010:
  • Keep right to choose free from governmental intrusion. (Nov 2010)
  • Voted NO on banning federal health coverage that includes abortion. (May 2011)
  • Endorsed by NARAL, indicating a pro-abortion stance. (Aug 2012)
  • Ban anti-abortion limitations on abortion services. (Nov 2013)
  • Access safe, legal abortion without restrictions. (Jan 2015)
  • Constitutional right to terminate pregnancy for health. (May 2015)
Congressman Deutch should feel right at home with fellow pro-baby destroyer New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo who just signed into law the most anti-baby bill ever devised since Hitler opened up the concentration camps back in the 1930's.
Please contact Democratic congressman Ted Deutch and let him know how you feel about jailing people for animal cruelty and rewarding people who exterminating babies in the womb. You can email him here or call any of his offices by going here. Reach out and respectfully tell him how you feel.

Congressmen from Florida cracking down on animal cruelty

FROM WPTV 5: If passed by Congress, anyone who engages in animal crushing, burning, drowning, suffocation, impalement, or other serious bodily injury could be charged with a federal felony.
"This is common sense, bipartisan legislation to bring some compassion to our animal laws," Rep. Deutch said. "For many Americans, animal welfare is an important policy issue, and the idea of animal abuse is abhorrent."
The charge would carry a maximum sentence of seven years in prison.
"The torture of innocent animals is abhorrent and should be punished to the fullest extent of the law," said Rep. Buchanan. "Protecting animals from cruelty is a top priority for me and I look forward to working with Congressman Deutch on this important issue."
The Congressmen mentioned the 2010 Animal Crush Video Prohibition Act, which made the creation, sale, and distribution of animal abuse videos illegal, as a jumping off point for their legislation.
The Humane Society, National Sheriffs' Association, and the Fraternal Order of Police have all endorsed PACT. The Senate passed an identical bill during the last session of Congress. READ MORE
