Here are my eMails to Channel 4 News.24 January 2011Mr Snow,I've just finished watching your report on the Palestinian Papers and the comments on the Peace Process, including those of Mrs Hilsum. I can't but ask myself whether both of you have read Natan Sharansky's The Case for Democracy? If not, I would urge you strongly to do so; if yes, don't you know that 'Land for Peace' is what Israel has

The controversial pastor in Florida who has now got world attention may likely not go ahead with the burning of the Islamic Holy Book, the Qu'ran, on 9/11's ninth anniversary tomorrow, Saturday. US President Barak Obama has asked him not to go ahead with this act which, according to Obama, contradicts American values of religious freedom and religious tolerance. He is, of course, right. For

Prison & Praise: Getting out of Trouble

2010-09-09T20:54:00.002+01:00

We all have them: troubles. But something inside of us tells us that we are not live in troubles, right? Right. But how are we to deal with them? Surely, there are things beyond our control. Yes, true, but some things are withon our control, and - and this is the really good news - we can get the One who controls what is outside our control involved to turn things around! Consider the

Israel doesn't care about peace?

2010-09-07T10:58:00.003+01:00

Time Magazine has released a very one-sided article blaming Israel for the failure of peace. Here is my letter I sent to them.Dear Time Magazine, Israel doesn't care about peace? Let me come straight to the point: your accusation of Israel's apparent apathy towards peace is one-sided, a distortion of history, and quiet frankly appaling. Can one really wonder why a people - not to speak of

In view of the up-coming peace talks in the US, hopes are high in some, yet scepticism too for others. David Brog wrote a brilliant article on 'War and Peace' in view of these talks.What makes me hopeful is that I believe Netanyahu is the right man for the job - he's commited to peace, yet stands firm on Israel's rights of existence and self-determination: Israel must remain an independent Jewish

2010-08-13T22:33:00.004+01:00

This brief and brilliant article asks four crucial questions Palestinian advocates should answer, yet such questions rather infuriate them - I wonder why? Is it because their cause is being exposed as morally wrong and historically distorted? Surely, those who are on the side of the truth must not become aggressive in a constructive conversation towards a solution, mustn't they? Judge for

Tribute to Eliezer Schwartz for completing his PhD aged 81! He stated the following:“At 16 I was taken to Aushwitz and then moved from camp to camp for a year until the end of the war,” Schwartz told of his past. “After liberation, I returned to my hometown in Hungary, but I saw that no other members of my family had returned, so I decided to emigrate to Israel.”Israel was the place of refuge

Character and Charisma

2010-08-12T20:57:00.006+01:00

Stability of character will ensure effectiveness of charisma.It is a fact that false prophets can work miracles without doing God's will and while living in sin (Mt 7:21ff). They won't enter eternal life, of course, despite their desperate attempts to call the One Lord who actually isn't/wasn't! Even today many claim to be God's ministers, but He knows the ones who truly belong to Him, and it is

How Technology has Affected Christianity

2010-08-01T19:18:00.004+01:00

Just a quick note to follow up on the radio programme today on how technology has affected Christianity. We all know the obvious: technology has affected virtually all areas of our lives, and many of its benefits are good, although there is misuse. But technology, as money or music, is neutral - it all depends on how we use it! Some use technology like radio, TV and the internet to spread the

Freedom and Responsibility

2010-08-01T18:24:00.005+01:00

If you'd ask people, 'What is freedom?' you'd get many different opinions. Depending on their background, upbringing, culture and religion (atheism included!), they'll define 'freedom' in different ways. Perhaps the following sentence would sum up what many Westerners would think about freedom: 'to be able to do what I like.'Freedom also plays a key role in the Bible. There are several passages

And I tried to find out why. Why is it like that, when those in the West have so many more things than those in the East? And the answer was: "Because there is no one in the family to receive them." Our children depend on

It describes the process David went through (the 'training') before he was ready to be king over Israel (the 'reigning'). When God calls a person, it is only the beginning, that is, the start of a process to prepare us for what God has planned. God has great plans for our lives that will bring

AI Apology over 'war crimes' Accusations against Israel

The West should understand that Israel's government is serious about peace and co-existence, wants peace and prosperity for all peoples in

Honest Reporting has, once again, exposed a major media bias, this time by the BBC. I am appalled that the UK allows such distorations of facts and manipulation of children to go on. Whatever is installed in children will usually remain with them and shape their value system. Such reports are, to state it simple, anti-Semitic propaganda 'nicely' put. It is totally unacceptable and very shameful.

While the Jewish people have been the most persecuted, rejected, and tortured people in history, the 'scapegoat misuse' of God's beloved people still contines.

Just as Israel is the focus point of much of world history and politics today, so were the Jewish people the main victims of WWII. Yet almost the whole world was involved, just as it is today. The truth is this: no one can deny Israel her right to do everything in her power to avoid
