I am sounding a call for the saints of the Lord to arise into intercessory prayer as tensions begin to rise. The Israeli Defence Forces are preparing to call up the reserves as evidence of a Palestinian uprising increases. Israel has been putting several things and people in place as they prepare for what could become quite dangerous situation for Israeli citizens. Is there faith to pray and proclaim these verses? Lord let the right hand of the Lord arise and defend Israel.

IDF PREPARES TO CALL UP RESERVES
by Chana Ya'ar - The Israel Defense Forces are preparing for the possibility of Palestinian Authority Arab riots beginning September 20, when the PA will bring its statehood bid to the United Nations.
Israel's military will begin to call up its reserves, probably starting this Sunday, September 18, sources said Thursday.
Arutz Sheva has been informed that the residents of the Jewish towns in Judea and Samaria have warned the Arab residents of PA-controlled areas that if they approach the security fences surrounding their towns, the response will be “unequivocal.”
The warning comes in the wake of threats by PA Arabs to march on Israeli communities in the regions on September 20, the day PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas intends to ask the United Nations General Assembly to recognize the entity as a new Arab country, and grant it membership within the ranks.
Such a move would abrogate all prior agreements with Israel – such as the 1993 Oslo Accords, and the 2003 Roadmap Plan – that any final status deal would be reached through a negotiated settlement, and would come after all incitement against the Jewish State had been squelched in the PA.
A number of deadly terrorist attacks have been carried out on Jewish towns in the regions over the past year, the worst of which was the massacre of a family in the Samaria town of Itamar on a Friday night after the Sabbath meal.
In March, two teenage PA Arab terrorists slashed and stabbed to death Rabbi Udi Fogel, his wife Ruth and three of their six children, including a 3-month-old infant, while they were sleeping in their beds. Their 12-year-old daughter came home to find the carnage after a pleasant evening spent with friends at a Sabbath youth event. Her two very young brothers had by a miracle also survived.
In May, two PA Arab terrorists were caught as they made their way toward the Judean Jewish town of Otniel on a similar “mission.”
Over the past month, rock attacks have begun to escalate once more on the Judea-Samaria Highway, known to locals as Route 60. The road runs from Samaria in the north, past Jerusalem and through Judea down to the Tel Arad-Be'er Sheva area in the south. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/147917#replies

JORDANIAN PROTESTERS DEMAND CLOSING OF US EMBASSY
Published: 09.14.11, 18:43 / Israel News - Demonstrators have demanded the closing of the US Embassy in Jordan over Wikileaks cables suggesting covert US plans to turn Jordan into a home for Palestinians.
It was a rare anti-American demonstration in Jordan, a close ally of the US. The 70 activists burned American and Israeli flags in a noisy protest opposite the embassy in Amman on Wednesday. (AP)

U.S. READY TO FIGHT PALESTINIAN U.N. BID TO BITTER END
Posted: 14 September 2011 1712 hrs - WASHINGTON: The United States has decided to fight to the bitter end to convince the Palestinians to abandon their bid for UN membership, despite the rather small chance that the battle will succeed. "We want to leave no stone unturned in our effort to get these parties back to the table," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Tuesday as two US envoys headed to the Middle East for talks with Israel and the Palestinians. David Hale, a special US envoy for the Middle East, and White House aide Dennis Ross are to hold talks on Wednesday and Thursday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas. Their previous trip, just last week, yielded no results. For weeks, Washington has deployed its entire diplomatic arsenal to try to persuade the Palestinians not to submit a formal request to become the 194th member of the United Nations, in the face of US and Israeli opposition.

ISRAEL'S BLOCKADE OF GAZA VIOLATES INTERNATIONAL LAW, SAYS UN PANEL
By: John Glaser on: 14.09.2011 [05:56 ] - Israel’s Blockade of Gaza Violates International Law, Says UN Panel
The latest UN report on Gaza blockade disputes Palmer Report, claims its findings were politically motivated
by John Glaser, September 13, 2011 - Israel’s naval blockade of the Gaza Strip violates international law, according to a panel of human rights experts reporting to the United Nations on Tuesday. The finding disputes a conclusion reached by the UN Palmer Report on the Israeli raid of the May 2010 Gaza aid flotilla, which killed 19 activists aboard. That separate report concluded that Israel’s use of force was excessive and unreasonable, but that the blockade was legal.
The conclusions of the new report actually coincide with an earlier fact-finding mission from last September, as well as the International Committee of the Red Cross, which both claimed the blockade is illegal. It has subjected Gazans to collective punishment in “flagrant contravention of international human rights and humanitarian law,” they said.
“In pronouncing itself on the legality of the naval blockade, the Palmer Report does not recognise the naval blockade as an integral part of Israel’s closure policy towards Gaza which has a disproportionate impact on the human rights of civilians,” they said in a joint statement.

ISRAEL WARNS PA OF HARSH [AND GRAVE] CONSEQUENCES
Published on September 14, 2011 by luckee1 · Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman has warned of what he calls harsh consequences if the Palestinian Authority goes ahead with its plan to seek UN membership as an independent state. Lieberman, who is known for his extremist anti-Palestinian stance, however, failed to mention what the threatened consequences might be. “The moment has not yet come to give details of what will happen,” the hardline Israeli foreign minister said adding that “What I can say with the greatest confidence is that from the moment they pass a unilateral decision there will be harsh and grave consequences.”
The US state department has also said that Washington will fight to what it called a bitter end to thwart the move by the Palestinian Authority. The US and Israeli threats come as most countries including some veto-wielding members of the UN Security Council have voiced their support for the Palestinian bid. Continued:

ISRAEL AND THE UPCOMING NUCLEAR WAR
By Gordon Duff - "... With the UN vote on Gaza a given, the US will veto Palestinan statehood, Egypt and Turkey will be pushed together as US prestige in the region crashes.Israel’s reaction under its repressive and reactionary Likudist regime, under attack at home for economic failures, one after the other, will be to push for military action against Gaza.
They may also wish to “play” in Lebanon, taking advantage of Syria’s current weakness. This would be a mistake. Syria will not “go down in flames” like the Gaddafi regime. They are too vulnerable and will lose their place at the table, offset by Turkey, a nation that has an unpleasant history in the region lasting hundreds of years, a reputation Turkey is now trying to repair. This could also go either way. Israel still has nuclear weapons. Their “nuclear advantage” in the Middle East is now likely to make them a target. Turkey’s army is more than a match for Israel, not even close. There is little expectation that Egypt will do more than posture as their military under Mubarak became a defensive force only, infiltrated, as is Turkey’s, with corrupt officers.
What will happen?
Israel, with all its planning, its “possible involvement” in 9/11, its very proven involvement in the 2003 invasion of Iraq and its machinations in, not just Washington but Cairo, Ankara and other capitols across the region, is the big loser. Israel is now totally isolated and very much considered sacrificable by the US, despite continual pronouncements by members of congress otherwise....
When Israel had to turn against the Democrats, despite the fact that 79% of American Jews support the Democratic Party, and turn to the GOP and Christian Zionists for support, they bought “friends” they would never be able to trust.
For years, American conservatives were known to hate Jews, ban them from organizations, maintain “no Jews allowed” policies at resorts and “ritzy” neighborhoods, under the euphemism of “restricted.”
ISN’T ALL WE LIE ABOUT
Turkey, not Iran, will be forced to go nuclear. Turkey, however, is a long time American ally, a charter member of NATO and, at heart, very pro-American, pro-Western and, as it were, sitting on the world’s most strategic real estate.

ON THE VERGE OF GAZA WAR
Special: Israel was on verge of launching major Gaza operation, but Hamas blinked - Alex Fishman
When Defense Minister Ehud Barak arrived at the Defense Ministry Headquarters’ meeting room last Saturday, a thick war book titled “Operation South” was already awaiting his approval on his desk. In those hours, Israel was on the verge of embarking on war in the Gaza Strip. The book did not pertain to a limited operation. The selected targets would have certainly prompted a major flare-up, including difficult regional implications. Just like in Operation Cast Lead, the political leadership granted immunity to no one in the Strip, regardless of his position or stature.
The detailed plans – the targets, scope, power and timing – would have left Hamas no breathing space and time to debate its response. It would have gone for the jackpot, right away. Indeed, Israel’s war plan included preparations for massive rocket fire from Gaza, including long-range missiles aimed at central Israel in general, and at Tel Aviv in particular.
Last weekend, the General Staff Headquarters looked like on the eve of war. Officials were working around the clock and sleeping in their offices. While formulating the plans, top officials recalled the curse of arrogance of the Second Lebanon War. Back then, the decision to launch a war was taken without sufficient preparation. The military and political leadership decided to deliver a blow, immediately, without taking into account the implications, the enemy’s response, the home front’s condition and the ability to counter rocket barrages. This time around, a full, detailed plan was drafted; it also included the IDF Home Front Command’s deployment. Only then was the scheme presented to the political echelon. Continued:

SIGNS OF THE TIMES UNDER SIEGE
By Chris Mitchell and Julie Stahl - CBN News Jerusalem Bureau - Thursday, August 25, 2011
JERUSALEM, Israel - Israel is gearing up for what could be massive Palestinian protests in September, when the United Nations may move forward with the recognition of a Palestinian state. "The most immediate one is the decision of the Palestinian Authority to reject negotiations with Israel," former Israeli U.N. Ambassador Dore Gold told CBN News. Palestinians want the United Nations to accept them as a member state in September. Gold said they want to use mass demonstrations in the West Bank to challenge Israel.
Visit the CBN Special Page: Sign of the Times - How Will it All End?
Turning World Opinion
"There's a strategy in the field to create an atmosphere of violence that leads TV networks to give it special coverage and forces public opinion, as well as Western governments to shift their position from one of questions about what the Palestinians are doing to strong support for what they're trying to accomplish," Gold explained. Israeli Messianic leader Chuck Cohen said any such action would be dividing God's land to make an Islamic state in the territory promised to the Jewish people. "The Palestinians never had it in the first place, and yet here we are facing this threat," Cohen said. And they want to divide Jerusalem. "God is saying, I'm testing your hearts with Jerusalem that I'm giving back to my people," he added. Continued: http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/insideisrael/2011/August/Israel-under-Attack/

AHMADINEJAD: IRAN IS DETERMINED TO ERADICATE ISRAEL
Iranian president says those who are for humanity should also be for eradicating Israel, since the 'Zionist regime is a symbol of suppression and discrimination.' HAARETZ - Published 14:00 25.08.11 - By DPA Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that Iran was determined to eradicate Israel, ISNA news agency reported Thursday.
"Iran believes that whoever is for humanity should also be for eradicating the Zionist regime (Israel) as symbol of suppression and discrimination," Ahmadinejad said in an interview with a Lebanese television network, carried by ISNA.
"Iran follows this issue (the eradication of Israel) with determination and decisiveness and will never ever withdraw from this standpoint and policy," the Iranian president added in the interview with the Al-Manar network.
The remarks by Ahmadinejad came one day before the annual anti-Israeli rallies named Qods (Jerusalem) Day, which are held nationwide in Iran on the last Friday of the fasting month of Ramadan.
Ahmadinejad on Monday said that Iranians and Muslim nations worldwide should hold Qods rallies and show their willingness to dispose of this "infectious tumor and this regime full of rascality." The Iranian president provoked international condemnation in 2005 when he said that Israel should be eliminated from the map of the Middle East and transferred to Europe or North America.Continued:

U.S.: BILL TO MOVE EMBASSY TO JERUSALEM GAINS FORCE
By ETGAR LEFKOVITS SPECIAL TO THE JERUSALEM POST
09/12/2011 01:09 - Faith-based diplomacy produces groundswell of Christian support for proposal; opposition by State department, veto by president expected. - A bill circulating in the US House of Representatives that would strip the president of his power to waive a law requiring him to move the US Embassy to Jerusalem is gaining traction and bipartisan support amid a groundswell of Christian support for the measure.

US Representative Joe Walsh (R-Illinois) and MK Danny Danon (Likud) have proposed parallel bills meant to promote Israeli sovereignty in the West Bank. Walsh drafted a resolution on Wednesday night “supporting Israel’s right to extend its sovereignty to Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria.” “This is the best answer to the Palestinian statehood declaration,” Danon said. “Zionism is at a historic turning point, and now is the best time for applying Israel sovereignty. I will work to promote this process in Israel and internationally.”
Walsh plans to spend the coming days finding cosponsors for the resolution, which is based on a bill Danon proposed the Knesset last month, the Likud MK explained.

THE END OF ISRAEL AS WE KNOW IT?
Israel now finds itself isolated like no other time in the past 35 years.
Noga Tarnopolsky - Global Post - September 17, 2011 08:44 - JERUSALEM — As summer ends, Israel has become regionally isolated like at no other time in the past 35 years. Anxiety and alarm seem to define reactions in Jerusalem as Israel momentarily found itself abruptly without an ambassador stationed in the capital of any of its three regional allies: Jordan, Egypt and Turkey, the latter of which expelled the ambassador following Israel’s refusal to apologize for the flotilla raid in which Turkish citizens lost their lives.
Some observers view this moment as a Rubicon from which Israel will not be able to turn back.
ISRAEL: In Israel, even good news is bad news. Danny Rubinstein, former Arab affairs analyst for Ha’aretz and now a lecturer at Hebrew University, said Israel is paying the price for not having already reached an agreement with the Palestinians.
“If we continue on this path, Israel will turn into either a permanent occupying force or we’ll be a bi-national state,” he said. “Today I no longer see the possibility of dividing Israel into Palestine and Israel. Just look at the geographic and demographic reality.” As local media grew increasingly preoccupied with the avalanche of bad news, the government seemed incapable of reacting. Instead, the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu seemed only Cont'd:

Demonstrators used hammers and iron bars to destroy the wall
PALESTINIANS OFFICIALLY LAUNCH THEIR BID
Word From Yerushalaim - September 8, 2011 - As each passing day goes by we see such blatant flaunting of Islam's agenda. Today the Palestinians launched their official bid to join the UN as a nation member. Even though there is no state called Palestine now, or has there ever been. Islam has become bold in making their desire known that Islam wishes to rule the world via sharia law, which has absolutely nothing to do with democracy. The gospel of Yeshua The Messiah is the only answer to this growing global darkness Yeshua is the only true source of life and light. Please join us in praying for the Arab population in Israel, that they would have their eyes opened to the only source of real truth Yeshua the Messiah. http://www.wordfromyerushalaim.com

THE DRY BONES WILL LIVE
Back in May of this year I sent out a report of hundreds of Israelis responding to the gospel message here in Israel as Evangelist David Hathaway ministered life to an audience(s) of mostly holocaust survivors here in Israel. I am now sending out a link to his magazine report of those meetings, giving testimony to many healings as well as salvations. Please continue to pray for the lost in Israel as we have definitely entered a season of the Lord revealing Himself to many here in the land. Also pray for the meetings scheduled for the month of November 2011, that the Lord would continue to open the eyes of His people Israel. http://www.wordfromyerushalaim.com

CAIRO MOB RANSACKS, TORCHES ISRAELI EMBASSY
September 10, 2011, 10:44 AM (GMT+02:00) - The Israeli embassy in Cairo stands empty Saturday, Sept. 10 after thousands of demonstrators using sledgehammers smashed through the wall enclosing the building broke in and dumped the flag and hundreds of documents through the windows. DEBKAfile: Egyptian security forces using tear gas and shooting in air failed to contain the howling mob led by Muslim Brotherhood adherents. Egyptian sources report that classified papers were seized by demonstrators.
At least 5 Egyptian soldiers killed and more than 500 police and demonstrators were injured in the clashes. . Ambassador Yizhak Levanon, his family and 80 embassy staff members were taken from their homes to Cairo airport and flown home aboard by two Israeli military planes.

DUPLICITY OF OCCUPIED LANDS
by Steven Shamrak. Melbourne, Australia. - There are many lands around the world that have been occupied not so long ago by other countries. Many of them are still subjugated to the rule of an occupying power. They were conquered during offensive or defensive wars, throughout the process of establishment of statehood or as a part of colonial and imperial policy. The following is a far from complete list of the currently occupied lands:
Great Britain still occupies 17 provinces of Ireland, Gibraltar and is holding on to the many residual symbols of her former colonial glory around the world.
France is still holding on to many overseas territories like New Caledonia and French Guinea. France and Spain divided and have no intention to give independence to the Basque people, the oldest indigenous living group known in Europe.
Belgium is an artificially forged country, which was created in order to protect the Netherlands from continuous attacks by France. There is still “no love lost” between the French and Flemish speaking populations of the country.
China - The international community has done nothing to stop occupation of Tibet by China. Eastern, predominantly Muslim, provinces of China are still under ‘imperial’ communist rule.
Chile - From the 1840s, heavy Anglo-Chilean investments were made in nitrate mining on the Bolivian coast. Bolivia lost its coastal region after the war of 1879-1884. Since then, Bolivia has been economically stifled by Chile with limited access to the sea ports.
Indonesia – It was ‘painful’ for Indonesia to allow freedom to East Timor. International pressure was applied only because of the huge oil reserves off the coast of East Timor were found. But there is no pressure in relation to the continuous occupation of Bali, West Papua and numerous islands that would love to obtain independence from the Muslim tyranny of Jakarta.
Panama proclaimed its independence after the US expressed interest in obtaining the rights to the canal, which Colombia refused. US marines landed in Panama the same day when independence was declared.
Russia has no plans to return the Eastern part of Poland it has occupied since before WW2 and end occupation of eastern Prussia, the Kuril Islands and Southern Sakhalin. Russia still retains its status as an imperial power by holding on to Chechnya, Dagistan, North Ossetia, Tatarstan and many other national enclaves which were occupied by Tsar.
USA - The biggest and leading democracy of the world is one of the biggest occupiers as well. There is no intention of even talking about compensation for, never mind returning, the occupied land which used to be, not long ago, a part of Mexico. What about Puerto Rico, Hawaii and other ‘strategic interests’?
The United Nations maintains a list of territories that do not govern themselves. The list was initially prepared in 1946 and adopted in 1986. It has officially endorsed control of these lands by their former colonial powers!
It should be remembered that most countries around the world (including USA, UK, France, Germany, China and Russia) were forged and established their current borders during the last 300 years. Their creation was accompanied by dramatic conquests and destruction of unique and independent cultures. In a Russian play one character asked the audience: “Look, who are the judges?” Yes, who are they to tell Jews what is their land and to force Israel to give away Jewish land to Arab scoundrels?
Israel is the only country that can claim its statehood and ownership of the land. Jewish people have over 3,000 years of spiritual and historical connection with the land. Israel is the only state which withdrew from the Sinai Peninsula after it was conquered during a defensive war. In exchange, Israel received the worthless piece of paper, which is called the Peace Agreement with Egypt. And yet, Israel is the only country under international pressure to surrender her own land to the enemy, a recently forged people - called Palestinians, whose only goal, they are not even hiding it, is to destroy the Jewish state.
There are three reasons why Israel is under such an international onslaught – Traditional international anti-Semitism, a desire to sell out Israel in exchange for a steady supply of oil, and an appeasement of Islamic terrorists in order to defer attacks on the West!
Does it make sense? What definitely takes place and make sense is that the world’s economic and political powers (“Puppet Masters”) apply pressure on Israel and use any means at their disposal, including manipulation of international law. An example of this is how it was done after Israel won the War of Independence. Immediately the Fourth Geneva convention ruled out population transfer as a legitimate way of resolving conflicts – but only when it suits their economic and political interests, with complete disregard to historical, spiritual and even legal rights of any people, not just Jews (remember ongoing dismantling of Yugoslavia and non-existence of Kurdistan – the homeland of 35 million Kurds, divided and occupied by five countries). The multitude of international organizations - including the UN, IRC, Amnesty International etc - are at full disposal of the international “Puppet Masters” and only too eager to assist by generating and manipulating public opinion - creating the illusion of propriety. The bottom line: it is all about power, control and money! http://www.shamrak.com

ISRAELI MAYOR OF CHICAGO MAKES WELLNESS TRAINING MADATORY
An Israeli ballerina-turned-Mayor of Chicago is now demanding that Windy City workers participate—willingly or not—in a wellness plan. If those on the city payroll refuse to register, they’ll pay $50 a month as a penalty for not choosing what Rahm Emanuel, a big believer in the right to choose, has chosen for them.
Initially, city workers will be lined up for screening like soldiers taking a military conscription exam. If you have asthma, heart disease, or diabetes, you’ll get “wellness training to achieve long-term health goals” whether you want it or not.
How about an implanted oral sensor that detects Newport Lights, traces of Crisco, Oreo DoubleStufs, and Heineken, and then triggers a shock collar that comes in a variety of colors from which the mayor will allow city workers to choose?
