UN General Assembly To Vote For
Palestinian Statehood
by Angus Wootten
|
|
The UN General Assembly plans to vote for Palestinian Statehood when it next convenes in mid-September.
My personal reaction to this news is, "So what!" I say this because even if they did vote that way, I do not believe that would compel Israel to abandon its settlements in the West Bank and return to the indefensible so-called "'67 Borders."
I am for Likud MK Danny Danon's "Annexation Campaign," which began several weeks ago when they asked Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to unilaterally annex the West Bank. Danon sponsored a bill in the Knesset that would begin the process of making all of Judea and Samaria part of the sovereign State of Israel. Danon's campaign began on Facebook and will hopefully spread to top Israeli websites, and perhaps even to the streets.
Unfortunately, many people seem to be panicking about what might happen if the UN General Assembly did vote for Palestinian Statehood. I have heard all kinds of horror stories, including the idea that the UN will send in troops and force Israel back to the '67 borders.
So what is going to happen?
First and foremost the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is not going to allow the ancient kingdoms of Judea and Samaria to be taken from the people of Israel! He has begun to return Israel to her Promised Land and He will surely see the job He started to its completion!
What we need to keep in mind is that we were not given a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).
A recent editorial in the Miami Herald has the best take on the Palestinian statehood issue. They wrote:
The U.N.'s worst enemy OUR OPINION: Series of actions bring discredit on the world body BY THE MIAMI HERALD EDITORIAL When it comes to Israel, the United Nations has a habit of shooting itself in the foot.
It's about to do so again.
The General Assembly is on the brink of voting for Palestinian statehood when it convenes in mid-September. Palestinian advocates would declare victory in their legitimate quest for statehood, but the practical outcome would be a disaster. It could provoke renewed violence in Gaza and the West Bank and close the door on talks with Israel.
Diplomatically, it would elevate the Palestinian U.N. status to "state observer," a designation held by the Vatican. But it doesn't change facts on the ground and makes legitimate sovereignty harder to achieve. The proposal subjects the U.N. to ridicule and comes at the worst possible time for the future of the world body. Consider:
� Recently, the General Assembly had to scramble to expel Libya from membership on the Human Rights Council after the same council referred Libya to the International Criminal Court for investigation of crimes against humanity. (We did not make that up.)
� Topping that for sheer absurdity: Last June, North Korea, a flagrant arms-control violator, was named to fill the rotating presidency of the U.N. Conference on Disarmament. And in August it was succeeded by Cuba! (Still not making it up.)
� Oblivious to austerity in public budgets around the world, the agency that governs U.N. salaries granted a 3 percent cost-of-living increase in July to the 4,800 international staff members based in New York. That prompted a sharp protest from U.S. envoy Joseph Torsella, as this country contributes about $3.35 billion annually, more than any other. Failure to reverse this action, he warned, "could well lead to more draconian approaches to budget-balancing in the future."
Such proposals are on the drawing board.
U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen of Miami, chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, has introduced legislation with 57 co-sponsors to alter the mandatory funding formula to a voluntary system. It calls for cutting U.S. assessments in half if total funding for the U.N.'s overall budget on a voluntary basis fails to reach 80 percent.
The congresswoman said this "will give the U.S. control over how our contributions are spent." The legislation also cuts off contributions to any U.N. entity that upgrades the status of the Palestinian mission to the world body.
The frustration of the bill's backers is understandable when the U.N.'s own actions contradict its stated intentions and aspirations.
Paging Ban Ki-moon!
It's up to the secretary-general to bring the U.N. back to its senses.
A strong first step would be to set standards for agencies like the Human Rights Council to bar violators like Cuba and Zimbabwe. He must also stop the incessant drumbeat of actions against Israel on the Human Rights Council and in other U.N. agencies.
To his credit, Mr. Ban has taken the unusual step of criticizing the head of a member country, saying Syrian President Bashar Assad has lost "all sense of humanity" because of the government's brutal efforts to stop protests. About time. And last year, Mr. Ban moved to make the U.N. more efficient by ordering a budget cutback of 3 percent to reflect the need for austerity. Now he also has to make it clear that the upcoming Palestinian vote is a non-starter for peace.
The U.N. remains indispensable. Its peacekeeping forces perform an essential task around the globe. It strives to relieve world hunger, promote gender equality and stop the spread of disease. Unfortunately, it can't seem to resist actions that too often make the United Nations its own worst enemy.

I think the above article sums up the situation nicely. The God of Israel is on the Throne, and not the UN. He will have His way in the end. We just need to make sure that we believe Him!
Yours For a Restored Israel,

Feast Book Special Offer
Through September 30, 2011
 Having YHVH's people celebrate His appointed Feasts is extremely important. The reason given by Moses and Aaron to Pharaoh as to why the Israelites should leave Egypt was, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, 'Let My people go that they may celebrate a feast to Me in the wilderness" (Exodus 5:2). YHVH makes it clear that His people must celebrate His appointed Feasts forever (2 Chr 2:4).
The challenge for us today is that, we do not have the same Levitical Priesthood, a tabernacle or a temple, nor an animal sacrificial system, all of which are required in order to celebrate YHVH's appointed feasts in the manner that He outlined in Torah. So, what are we to do? How then, are we to celebrate? Israel's Feasts and their Fullness - Expanded Edition by Batya Wootten, is an anointed book that shows Believers how to celebrate the Feasts of Israel in a way that honors Yeshua and helps to restore the two houses of Israel. It shows what Scripture says about each feast, compares that to the traditions of both Judaism and Christianity, then she suggests ways in which we can help bring joyous restoration to the whole house of Israel. This feast book is like no other. It is truly unique in its perspectives. Acclaimed as the "best feast book ever," in this new Expanded Edition, Israel's Feasts and their Fullness offers even more prophetic insights! In her delightful, penetrating style, Batya examines the feasts and shows how they relate to Israel's reunion, redemption, and full restoration. She explains why Believers now feel led to celebrate the feasts, and how their celebrations relate to the latter days. Her astute observations bring encouragement, clarity and fresh insights at every turn. The Feast book contains Simple Celebration Instruction Guides for the Sabbath, Havdalah, and Passover, plus it includes a Guide which gives a suggested outlined for Ten Days of Prayer for the Ten Days of Awe (the ten days from Yom Teruah to Yom Kippur). Guides are available in print, and/or you can download a PDF of each guide. Batya's feast book is an exciting read that offers us hope for our future. It is a "must have" for your library shelf. You will refer to it again and again for years to come. Many people have told us that they reread particular feast sections as the feasts approach each year, and they keep gaining new insights from the book. It is also a wonderful gift for family members and friends.  This book is an essential tool for those who hope to see the whole house of Israel be restored! To go with this tool, we are making a free offer that will be available through September 30, 2011:
With each copy of Israel's Feasts and their Fullness - Expaned Edition we will include a complementary set of the five printed guides.

Or write Key of David Publishing, PO Box 700217, St Cloud, FL 34770 |
