This week the Middle East took center stage in much of the news. There is no doubt that radical Islamists have big plans. Words of war are in the wind. I usually keep an eye on events surrounding Israel. This week, everything seems amplified.
The Bible says that a Jewish Temple will be built on the Temple Mount. Everyone has seen pictures, like the one above, of the Muslim building on the mount in Jerusalem. Biblical prophecy has been 100% correct to this point. I believe that unfulfilled prophecies, like the one about the next temple, will be no different.
The radical Muslims will be turned back, at least enough to allow the Jews to build their temple. At present, this prophecy seems impossible. Israel is losing support from those who formerly had strong ties with the little country. The story of America’s support of Israel is not yet complete, but the Obama administration has a very bad record to this point.
Will the temple be built next to the mosque currently on the mount? I heard a recent interview with the man in charge of making the implements for the new Jewish temple. That’s right. The religious Jews are also planning. In the interview, the head of the Temple Institute said that the temple will stand alone on the Temple Mount. There will be no mosque. Is he correct? I don’t know, but I lean towards his view.
The following statement was made this week by a Hindu who has lived through recent history; a story that everyone should know.

Brothers and Sisters: Shalom:
I feel privileged and honored for your giving me an opportunity to speak before you. I am really thankful to the organizers of this Rally. I am living in this country for the last 40 years. America has given me freedom of religion and liberty of expression. Unlike Islamic nations, the American government does not force its citizen to accept Islam or say they would be killed or driven out of that country if they do not.
Dear friends like many Jewish people I am also the victim of Islamic Jihad. I am the survivor of the Partition of India that took place in 1947. I was 17 years old when Islamists forced Hindus to divide British India into two parts in 1947 Hindu India and Islamic Pakistan.
I was living in that part of India which is now called Pakistan . Since I was a Hindu, my life was made miserable by Islamic police and Islamic militia. I was hounded out by Radical Islamists. Many of my friends and colleagues were singled out, chased and brutally killed. Thousands of Hindu and Sikh girls were gang raped by fanatic Islamists. More than 10 million Hindus and Sikhs were driven out of the region that is now called Pakistan .
In 1947, there were 23% Hindus living there in Pakistan . Today the Hindu population in Pakistan has been reduced to 1% in just 60 years. All the others have been ethnically cleansed.
The same thing happened in Bangladesh . The Hindu population has been reduced from 35% in 1947 to 9% in 2010. More than 400,000 Hindus were driven out in 1989 from Indian ruled Kashmir . These Hindus are living as refugees in their own country.
Today we Hindus are here to express our sympathy and support to Israelis who are surrounded by militant and fanatic Islamic nations armed with deadly weapons. Islamic nations want to wipe out Israel from the world map. Let me tell you, Israel is the frontier of the free World. Once we lose Israel , we lose the free world. I repeat, once we lose Israel , we lose the free world.
The cowardly and politically correct media and its apologists have no idea as to what they are dealing with. It is not just Jerusalem the Islamists are claiming; they are claiming Kashmir, Chechnya, Philippines, Sudan, Nigeria, Londonistan, Parts of France, Spain, Belgium, Holland and several other countries and eventually the whole world. They want all of us to surrender. They want to subjugate all of us. They want to plant the Islamic flag in London , They want to plant the Islamic flag at in Washington . They have openly stated that they want to establish the supremacy of Allah all over the USA , in India , in Israel and everywhere else. Dear Brothers and Sisters, we have to resolutely and unitedly face this menace of terrorism.
We both Hindus and Israelis are the oldest surviving civilizations. We both have been the victims of Islamic terrorism for more than a thousand year. Hence, we both are the natural allies.
At the moment Israeli is under attack by radical Islamists. Israel is the only democratic country in the Middle East . It has every right to exist. We fully support Israel s right to exist as a free nation within its rightful borders.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!

HAARETZ, is a far left, liberal publication in Isreal. Not much is center. I don’t find myself able to place much support for their reporting. Just my opinion.
Have a Blessed Day,

Hi Claudia,
I’m glad you found the new site.
I checked out the report by HAARETZ and found that it seems to be the primary source for the story about Mr. Obama’s plan concerning Israel. I checked other sources and found that they all went back to the story that I posted.
I hope that your lack of support for their reporting is confirmed.
I have always found it interesting that 80% of American Jews voted for Mr. Obama when his support for the tiny nation of Israel is so uncertain. American Jews are generally very concerned about their “homeland.” They are also generally liberal, as are most of the news sources in America and Israel. I look at several news sources that come out of Israel every week, but I have to admit that I haven’t checked their political leanings. Thanks for the info.
My sense is that many American Jews, along with those living in Israel, are feeling a bit uncomfortable with the way the current U.S. Administration is dealing with Middle East issues. I know that this could be said of administrations going all the way back to “pre-occupation” years.
The difference today is the determination of a neighboring, radical regime to get powerful weaponry. Threatening words, of which I know you are aware, have been spoken by the leadership in Iran. I’m concerned for those who live in Israel. I can imagine what the Israelis must be thinking.
This has been, and continues for me to be, the most fascinating story on the planet. Recently, I’ve been studying the Biblical Book of Daniel. No one knows, in spite of what they may say, exactly what will happen in the years to come. However, I believe that Israel, the tiny little thorn in the side of so many, will survive.
Thanks for sharing your opinion,
God’s blessings,
Chris
