On this week's episode of The Watchman, we sit down with David Brog, executive director of Christians United for Israel (CUFI), to discuss why Christians need to stand with Israel now more than ever.
We also talk to Rabbi Ken Spiro about Jerusalem U, a unique online course designed to educate about Israel.
According to the Qur'an, Jews are "the most intense of the people in animosity toward" Muslims (Sura 5:82). We see Muslims mass demonstrating all across the world spewing hatred and inciting violent against Jews. But if the Qur'an is true, then why is that we, inexplicably, never see any Jews mass demonstrating all over the world spewing hatred and inciting violence against Muslims? (Hint: The Qur'an lies) ...
By Damien Sharkov, Newsweek - "Jewish human rights group the Simon Wiesenthal Center has expressed its shock that protests in support of Islamic terrorist group ISIS have gone undeterred by Dutch authorities in the Hague. Two public rallies, expressing support for ISIS have been held this month, with chants advocating the murder of 'dirty Jews from the sewers' heard at both. The first protest inciting violence towards Jews was ..." Read more.

OBAMA IS HOSTILE IN DISPUTED CONVERSATION WITH NETANYAHU!

As the conflict in Gaza enters its 22nd day under Operation Protective Edge, international officials are scrambling to put forth a ceasefire agreement that would be acceptable to both Israel and Hamas.
In a call last week between United State President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the president warned Israel that it must institute “an immediate, unconditional humanitarian ceasefire that ends hostilities now.”
In an apparently leaked transcript of the call, as reported by Israel’s state-run Channel 1, Obama appears forceful and somewhat “hostile” towards the prime minister in his demands for a ceasefire.
Reporter Oren Nahari, who has come under fire for exposing the transcript, said that a senior American official sent him the details of the 32 minute conversation between the two leaders.
While both Obama and Netanyahu spoke positively about support between both nations, the president became “unfriendly, stiff-necked, unwilling to listen to counter-arguments” and even “hostile,” Nahari explained, quoting the American official.
Obama is said to have brought up the topic of the ceasefire by telling Netanyahu: “I demand that Israel agrees to an immediate unilateral ceasefire and ends all attacks – especially air strikes.”
The conversation unfolds as follows:
Netanyahu responds: “And what will Israel receive in return for a ceasefire?”
Obama: “I believe that Hamas will stop firing rockets — calm in return for calm.”
Netanyahu, mentioning previous Hamas ceasefire rejections, tells the president. “It’s a terrorist organization dedicated to Israel’s destruction.”
Obama, not listening says: “I repeat: I expect Israel to unilaterally cease all military operations. The images of destruction from Gaza distance the world from Israel’s position.”
Netanyahu tells Obama that US Secretary of State John Kerry’s ceasefire proposal, which was unanimously rejected by Israel’s Security Cabinet on Friday, was “utterly unrealistic and provided Hamas with military and diplomatic advantages.”
Obama: “Within a week after Israel’s military operation ends, Qatar and Turkey will start negotiations with Hamas on the basis of 2012 ceasefire (which ended the 2012 Operation Pillar of Defense), including Israel’s commitment to lift the siege and other restrictions on Gaza.”
Netanyahu responds that the US cannot rely on Qatar and Turkey, who are allies of Hamas, to be fair mediators.
Obama responds: “I trust Qatar and Turkey. Israel is not at all in the position to choose its mediators.”
Netanyahu, protesting Obama’s comments, is interrupted by the president: “The ball is in Israel’s court. It must end all its military operations.”
Both Israel and the US have vehemently denied the authenticity of the transcript. Obama’s deputy national security advisor Ben Rhodes tweeted the transcript was “totally false”.
A tweet from the National Security Council called Channel 1’s report “shocking and disappointing,” questioning why “someone would sink to misrepresenting” the conversation between the two leaders.
US Ambassador to Israel, Dan Shapiro, rejected the leaked recording. On his official Twitter account, the ambassador wrote, “Have seen reports of an alleged Obama-Netanyahu transcript; neither reports nor alleged transcript bear any resemblance to reality.”
The Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem released a statement, denying the report: “We have seen these reports, and neither the reports nor the alleged transcript bear any resemblance to reality. It’s shocking and disappointing that someone would sink to misrepresenting a private conversation between the President and the Prime Minister in fabrications to the Israeli press.”
Meanwhile, Kerry is continuing his shuttle diplomacy in the Middle East in his quest to bring about a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. On Tuesday, Kerry said that Netanyahu has asked for renewed help from the US to help broker a ceasefire.
“Last night we talked, and the prime minister talked to me about an idea and a possibility of a ceasefire. He raised it with me, as he has consistently,” Kerry said.

Concerning the Israeli media’s attacks on Kerry for favoring Hamas during ceasefire talks, the secretary stated,” I’ve taken hits before in politics. I’m not worried about that. It’s not about me – this is about Israel and Israel’s right to defend itself.”
Kerry’s previous ceasefire proposals have been rejected by Israel for being too favorable to Hamas. The last proposal asked Israel to freely open the border with Gaza, transfer money to Hamas to pay the salaries of civil servants in Gaza, and proposed a budget to “meet the welfare needs in Gaza.”
Regarding Israel’s demands, Kerry’s last proposal included a short mention addressing “Israel’s security needs.”
However, Kerry stressed: “We are working very carefully with our Israeli friends in order to be able to find a way to reduce the civilian loss of life, to prevent this from spiraling downwards into a place from which…both sides have difficulty finding a way forward.”
Since the start of Operation Protective Edge, terrorists in the Gaza Strip have fired 2,612 rockets on Israel. 506 of the rockets were intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defense system. The IDF has struck some 3,950 terror targets in the Strip.

Mosab Hassan Yousef, interviewed on July 24th on CNN.
Mosab Hassan Yousef is the eldest son of one of the founders of Hamas.
He was arrested by the Israelis for involvement in terrorism. I
n prison, he came to realize the true evil of Hamas.
So he renounced Islam, converted to Christianity, and became a double agent for the Israeli secret services (Shin Bet) working to thwart Hamas terror attacks.
Later, he emigrated to the United States where he wrote a best-selling book, "Son of Hamas," warning about the dangerous of Hamas and telling his own journey out of Radical Islam.
Now, with Hamas engaged in a brutal, deadly war with Israel, Mosab is speaking out again against the radical Islamic terror group of which he used to be a key operative and rising future leader.
"Hamas does not care about the lives of the Palestinians, does not care about the lives of Israelis, or Americans," Mosab told CNN this past week. "They don't care about their own lives. They consider dying for the sake of their ideology a way of worship."
"Hamas is not seeking coexistence [with Israel]," he noted. "Hamas is seeking conquest and taking over."
He said the goal of Hamas isn't not simply to destroy Israel but to build an Islamic caliphate on the rubble of every country in the region.
“In what should be a time of happiness when Muslims mark the end of Ramadan, Islamist militants in Iraq celebrated Eid by releasing a video showing scenes of them carrying out genocide.” Meanwhile, Barack Hussein Obama again praises Islam and Muslims for building “the very fabric” of America. I have absolutely no idea what utopian, twisted world President Obama chooses to live in, but the video in question shows the world in which the rest of us live — one that includes the mass executions of hundreds of Muslims by fellow Muslims, one where several dump trucks full of young men are carried off like garbage. If this isn’t a wake-up call to the West then I don’t know what is, for we can be absolutely certain that if the ISIS Caliphate has absolutely no qualms about perpetrating such atrocities on a mass scale against their own coreligionists, they will certainly have no qualms about doing the same to “vile” Jews and Christians when the time comes. For peaceful purposes …
Qur’an Sura 8:55, “Surely the vilest of animals in Allah’s sight are those who disbelieve [non-Muslims] …”
Hadith, Tabari 9:69, “Killing Unbelievers [non-Muslims] is a small matter to us” – The Words of Mohammad, “Prophet” of Islam
Revelation 13:15, “The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed.”
By Tom Wyke and Simon Tomlinson, Mail Online – “In what should be a time of happiness when Muslims mark the end of Ramadan, Islamist militants in Iraq celebrated Eid by releasing a video showing scenes of them carrying out genocide.
The slickly produced footage shows prisoners being rounded up and summarily executed, suicide bombers boasting before blowing up buildings and Iraqis being gunned down in drive-by shootings.
In one of the most shocking passages, terrified prisoners are piled into the back of trucks, where they hold each other and huddle in fear before driven off to their deaths.
The 36-minute film then cuts to dozens of prisoners lying face down on the ground, hands bound behind their backs, waiting to be executed.
None of the men look older than 40 years old, one of them wears an Arsenal shirt, clearly visible with midfielder Mesut Ozil’s name and number on the back.
Most of the men are apparently Iraqi army deserters.
Their jeans, hastily put on to avoid identification, have been pulled down to reveal their khaki desert fatigues.
One group of about 50 prisoners are seen being told to march with their hands behind their heads and lie down in two overlapping lines on the sand.
The executions are believed to have taken place in Saddam Hussein’s hometown of Tikrit.
The prisoners, believed to be Shi’ite Muslims, are then systematically executed by a small band of jihadists, thought to be Sunnis.
It is understood the prisoners are referred to in the video description as rafidas, a derogatory term used by some Sunnis to describe Shi’ites who they believe have rejected Islamic authority.” Read more.
