The following article should be
read by every pro-Israel Christian; and copied and handed to friends and family. Grace Halsell learned by experience
that what her church had taught her about Israel is a myth.
It must be mentioned here, though, that Mrs. Halsell was apparently (at least when this article
was written) uninformed about the hoax of the Holocaust. She also mentions that the Jews don't accept the
Old Testament, and rely solely on the Talmud, when in fact, the first five books of the Old Testament are the Torah,
which are the first five books of the Talmud. -- Jackie -- May 26th, 2003

What Christians Don’t Know About Israel
By Grace Halsell
May/June 1998, pages 112, 126
American Jews sympathetic to Israel dominate key positions in all areas
of our government where decisions are made regarding the Middle East. This being the case, is there any hope of ever
changing U.S. policy? President Bill Clinton as well as most members of Congress support Israel — and they
know why. U.S. Jews sympathetic to Israel donate lavishly to their campaign coffers. .
The answer to achieving an even-handed Middle
East policy might lie elsewhere — among those who support Israel but don’t really know why. This group
is the vast majority of Americans. They are well-meaning, fair-minded Christians who feel bonded to Israel —
and Zionism — often from atavistic feelings, in some cases dating from childhood.
I am one of those. I grew up listening
to stories of a mystical, allegorical, spiritual Israel. This was before a modern political entity with the same
name appeared on our maps. I attended Sunday School and watched an instructor draw down window-type shades to show
maps of the Holy Land. I imbibed stories of a Good and Chosen people who fought against their Bad “unChosen”
enemies.
In my early 20s, I began traveling the world, earning my living as a writer. I came to the subject
of the Middle East rather late in my career. I was sadly lacking in knowledge regarding the area. About all I knew
was what I had learned in Sunday School.
And typical of many U.S. Christians, I somehow considered a modern state
created in 1948 as a homeland for Jews persecuted under the Nazis as a replica of the spiritual, mystical Israel
I heard about as a child. When in 1979 I initially went to Jerusalem, I planned to write about the three great monotheistic
religions and leave out politics. “Not write about politics?” scoffed one Palestinian, smoking a waterpipe
in the Old Walled City. “We eat politics, morning, noon and night!”
As I would learn, the politics is about
land, and the co-claimants to that land: the indigenous Palestinians who have lived there for 2,000 years and the
Jews who started arriving in large numbers after the Second World War. By living among Israeli Jews as well as Palestinian
Christians and Muslims, I saw, heard, smelled, experienced the police state tactics Israelis use against Palestinians.
My research led to a book entitled Journey to Jerusalem. My journey not only was enlightening to me as regards
Israel, but also I came to a deeper, and sadder, understanding of my own country. I say sadder understanding because I began
to see that, in Middle East politics, we the people are not making the decisions, but rather that supporters of Israel are
doing so. And typical of most Americans, I tended to think the U.S. media was “free” to print news impartially.
"It shouldn’t be
published. It’s anti-Israel."
In the late 1970s, when I first went to Jerusalem, I was unaware that editors could and would
classify “news” depending on who was doing what to whom. On my initial visit to Israel-Palestine, I had interviewed
dozens of young Palestinian men. About one in four related stories of torture.
Israeli police had come in the night, dragged them
from their beds and placed hoods over their heads. Then in jails the Israelis had kept them in isolation, besieged them with
loud, incessant noises, hung them upside down and had sadistically mutilated their genitals. I had not read such stories
in the U.S. media. Wasn’t it news? Obviously, I naively thought, U.S. editors simply didn’t know it
was happening.
On a trip to Washington, DC, I hand-delivered a letter to Frank Mankiewicz, then head of the public
radio station WETA. I explained I had taped interviews with Palestinians who had been brutally tortured. And I’d
make them available to him. I got no reply. I made several phone calls. Eventually I was put through to a public
relations person, a Ms. Cohen, who said my letter had been lost. I wrote again. In time I began to realize what I
hadn’t known: had it been Jews who were strung up and tortured, it would be news. But interviews with tortured
Arabs were “lost” at WETA.
The process of getting my book Journey to Jerusalem published also was a learning
experience. Bill Griffin, who signed a contract with me on behalf of MacMillan Publishing Company, was a former
Roman Catholic priest. He assured me that no one other than himself would edit the book. As I researched the book,
making several trips to Israel and Palestine, I met frequently with Griffin, showing him sample chapters. “Terrific,”
he said of my material.
The day the book was scheduled to be published, I went to visit MacMillan’s. Checking in at a reception
desk, I spotted Griffin across a room, cleaning out his desk. His secretary Margie came to greet me. In tears, she whispered
for me to meet her in the ladies room. When we were alone, she confided, “He’s been fired.” She indicated
it was because he had signed a contract for a book that was sympathetic to Palestinians. Griffin, she said, had no time to
see me.
Later,
I met with another MacMillan official, William Curry. “I was told to take your manuscript to the Israeli Embassy, to
let them read it for mistakes,” he told me. “They were not pleased. They asked me, ‘You are not going to
publish this book, are you?’ I asked, ‘Were there mistakes?’ ‘Not mistakes as such. But it shouldn’t
be published. It’s anti-Israel.’”
Somehow, despite obstacles to prevent it, the presses had started rolling.
After its publication in 1980, I was invited to speak in a number of churches. Christians generally reacted with disbelief.
Back then, there was little or no coverage of Israeli land confiscation, demolition of Palestinian homes, wanton arrests
and torture of Palestinian civilians.
The Same Question
Speaking of these injustices, I invariably heard the same question, “How
come I didn’t know this?” Or someone might ask, “But I haven’t read about that in my newspaper.”
To these church audiences, I related my own learning experience, that of seeing hordes of U.S. correspondents covering
a relatively tiny state. I pointed out that I had not seen so many reporters in world capitals such as Beijing,
Moscow, London, Tokyo, Paris. Why, I asked, did a small state with a 1980 population of only four million warrant
more reporters than China, with a billion people?
I also linked this query with my findings that The New York Times , The
Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post — and most of our nation’s print media — are owned and/or
controlled by Jews supportive of Israel. It was for this reason, I deduced, that they sent so many reporters to cover
Israe l— and to do so largely from the Israeli point of view.
My learning experiences also included coming
to realize how easily I could lose a Jewish friend if I criticized the Jewish state. I could with impunity criticize
France, England, Russia, even the United States. And any aspect of life in America. But not the Jewish state. I
lost more Jewish friends than one after the publication of Journey to Jerusalem — all sad losses for me and
one, perhaps, saddest of all.
In the 1960s and 1970s, before going to the Middle East, I had written about the plight
of blacks in a book entitled Soul Sister, and the plight of American Indians in a book entitled Bessie Yellowhair,
and the problems endured by undocumented workers crossing from Mexico in The Illegals. These books had come to the attention
of the “mother” of The New York Times, Mrs. Arthur Hays Sulzberger.
Her father had started the newspaper, then her husband
ran it, and in the years that I knew her, her son was the publisher. She invited me to her fashionable apartment on Fifth
Avenue for lunches and dinner parties. And, on many occasions, I was a weekend guest at her Greenwich, Conn. home.
She was liberal-minded
and praised my efforts to speak for the underdog, even going so far in one letter to say, “You are the most remarkable
woman I ever knew.” I had little concept that from being buoyed so high I could be dropped so suddenly when I discovered
— from her point of view — the “wrong” underdog.
As it happened, I was a weekend guest in her spacious
Connecticut home when she read bound galleys of Journey to Jerusalem. As I was leaving, she handed the galleys back with
a saddened look: “My dear, have you forgotten the Holocaust?” She felt that what happened in Nazi Germany
to Jews several decades earlier should silence any criticism of the Jewish state. She could focus on a holocaust
of Jews while negating a modern day holocaust of Palestinians.
I realized, quite painfully, that our friendship was ending.
Iphigene Sulzberger had not only invited me to her home to meet her famous friends but, also at her suggestion,
The Times had requested articles. I wrote op-ed articles on various subjects including American blacks, American
Indians as well as undocumented workers. Since Mrs. Sulzberger and other Jewish officials at the Times highly praised
my efforts to help these groups of oppressed peoples, the dichotomy became apparent: most “liberal” U.S.
Jews stand on the side of all poor and oppressed peoples save one — the Palestinians.
How handily these liberal
Jewish opinion-molders tend to diminish the Palestinians, to make them invisible, or to categorize them all as “terrorists.”
Interestingly,
Iphigene Sulzberger had talked to me a great deal about her father, Adolph S. Ochs. She told me that he was not one
of the early Zionists. He had not favored the creation of a Jewish state.
Yet, increasingly, American Jews have fallen
victim to Zionism, a nationalistic movement that passes for many as a religion. While the ethical instructions of
all great religions — including the teachings of Moses, Muhammad and Christ — stress that all human
beings are equal, militant Zionists take the position that the killing of a non-Jew does not count.
Over five decades
now, Zionists have killed Palestinians with impunity. And in the 1996 shelling of a U.N. base in Qana, Lebanon,
the Israelis killed more than 100 civilians sheltered there. As an Israeli journalist, Arieh Shavit, explains of the massacre,
“We
believe with absolute certitude that right now, with the White House in our hands, the Senate in our hands and The New
York Times in our hands, the lives of others do not count the same way as our own.”
Israelis today, explains the
anti-Zionist Jew Israel Shahak,
“are
not basing their religion on the ethics of justice. They do not accept the Old Testament as it is written. Rather, religious
Jews turn to the Talmud. For them, the Talmudic Jewish laws become ‘the Bible.’ And the Talmud teaches that
a Jew can kill a non-Jew with impunity.”
In the teachings of Christ, there was a
break from such Talmudic teachings. He sought to heal the wounded, to comfort the downtrodden.
The danger, of course, for U.S. Christians is that
having made an icon of Israel, we fall into a trap of condoning whatever Israel does — even wanton murder—as
orchestrated by God.
Yet, I am not alone in suggesting that the churches in the United States represent the last major organized
support for Palestinian rights. This imperative is due in part to our historic links to the Land of Christ and in
part to the moral issues involved with having our tax dollars fund Israeli-government-approved violations of human
rights.
While
Israel and its dedicated U.S. Jewish supporters know they have the president and most of Congress in their hands,
they worry about grassroots America — the well-meaning Christians who care for justice. Thus far, most Christians
were unaware of what it was they didn’t know about Israel. They were indoctrinated by U.S. supporters of Israel
in their own country and when they traveled to the Land of Christ most all did so under Israeli sponsorship. That
being the case, it was unlikely a Christian ever met a Palestinian or learned what caused the Israeli-Palestinian
conflict.
This
is gradually changing, however. And this change disturbs the Israelis. As an example, delegates attending a Christian
Sabeel conference in Bethlehem earlier this year said they were harassed by Israeli security at the Tel Aviv airport.
“They
asked us,” said one delegate, “‘Why did you use a Palestinian travel agency? Why didn’t you
use an Israeli agency?’”
The interrogation was so extensive and hostile that Sabeel leaders called a
special session to brief the delegates on how to handle the harassment. Obviously, said one delegate,
“The Israelis have
a policy to discourage us from visiting the Holy Land except under their sponsorship. They don’t want Christians
to start learning all they have never known about Israel.”

WASHINGTON REPORT On Middle East Affairs
Israeli
Extremists and Christian Fundamentalists:
The Alliance
By Grace Halsell
December 1988, Page 31
At the time I began my research for my book Prophecy and Politics, I discovered the average American I met in Washington,
DC, and New York was not interested in TV evangelists and their link to Israel. Neither were book editors. I went to 25
top editors in New York with my book idea on religion and politics. Michael Korda of Simon and Schuster was typical. "Jerry
Falwell? Pat Robertson? Who is interested in those crazies?"
By the time my book came out those "crazies" were on
the front page of every American newspaper and on every news channel. Of course, I didn't give them this instant fame, which
extended throughout the world. Two of them earned it themselves by being in the middle of scandals.
The press told us that Jim Bakker
had committed adultery and that Jimmy Swaggart regularly visited a prostitute. A fellow marine said Pat Robertson never
had to dodge bullets in Korea because he had used his father's influence as a senator to escape front line duty. But almost
everyone ignored the biggest scandal of all: the peculiar mixture of prophecy and politics professed by these and other Christian
Zionists.
The Christian Zionists Message
What is the message of the Christian Zionist? Simply stated
it is this: Every act taken by Israel is orchestrated by God, and should be condoned, supported, and even praised by the
rest of us.
"Never
mind what Israel does," say the Christian Zionists. "God wants this to happen." This includes the invasion
of Lebanon, which killed or injured an estimated 100,000 Lebanese and Palestinians, most of them civilians; the bombing
of sovereign nations such as Iraq; the deliberate, methodical brutalizing of the Palestinians-breaking bones, shooting children,
and demolishing homes; and the expulsion of Palestinian Christians and Muslims from a land they have occupied for over 2,000
years.
My
premise in Prophecy and Politics is that Christian Zionism is a dangerous and growing segment of Christianity, which was
popularized by the 19th-century American Cyrus Scofield when he wrote into a Bible his interpretation of events in history.
These events all centered around Israel-past, present, and future. His Scofield Bible is today the most popular of the reference
Bibles.
Scofield
said that Christ cannot return to earth until certain events occur: The Jews must return to Palestine, gain control of Jerusalem
and rebuild a temple, and then we all must engage in the final, great battle called Armageddon. Estimates vary, but most
students of Armageddon theology agree that as a result of these relatively recent interpretations of Biblical scripture,
10 to 40 million Americans believe Palestine is God's chosen land for the Jews.
Has the power of the Christian Zionists diminished?
I do not think so.
Rather, we are seeing how the Christian Zionists, motivated by religious beliefs, are working hand in glove with politically
motivated, militant Jewish Zionists around the world. It is the Christian support of Zionism that emboldens Zionists to
believe they can dictate to relatively weak and dependent countries such as Austria, whom they may choose as their president.
It is the Christian
support of Zionism that allows Manuel Noriega to remain the strongman in Panama, misusing his power, regardless of what
harm he causes to the United States, his neighbors, and his people.
It is the Christian support of Zionism that enables the militant
Israelis to take over Palestinian homes surrounding the Al-Aqsa mosque in pursuit of their well-documented plan to destroy
Jerusalem's most holy Islamic site, sacred to a billion Muslims around the world-one-fifth of humanity.
Christian Zionists and
the Iran-Contra Scandal
Remarkably,it was this Christian cult of Israel that brought us the Iran contra scandal, perhaps the most self-destructive
act in the history of the United States. Marine Col. Oliver North, the perpetrator of this misguided series of actions, is
a Christian Zionist. A born-again charismatic figure, he endeared himself to the militant Israeli Zionists who plotted Iran-contra.
"He is more Israeli," said one Jewish general, "than we Israelis." This is often the case. In his zealotry,
the Christian Zionist can become more Zionist, more militant, than the Jewish Zionist.
In the Iran-contra hearings, Sen. James McClure (R-ID) explained
to North that the US had a stated policy of neutrality in the Iran-Iraq war. That policy differed radically from Israel's
policy of selling arms to Iran. Yes, agreed North, the two policies were not the same. The question, to which McClure's
efforts yielded no response, then becomes: Why would the US forego its American policy to pursue Israeli policy?
The answer, unfortunately,
lies in the belief system of Christian Zionists: They believe that what Israel wants is what God wants. Therefore, it is
perfectly acceptable to give the green light to whatever it is Israel wants and then conceal this from the American people.
Anything, including lies, theft, even murder, is justified as long as Israel wants it.
Another perfect example of a Christian Zionist is Sen. Daniel
Inouye (D-HI). Throughout the hearings on the Iran-contra scandal, the Hawaiian kept the focus on the contras and steered
determinedly clear of any criticism of Israel. If, in answer to questions, witnesses sought to explain the seminal and continuing
role of Israel, Inouye abruptly broke off the line of questioning that had led the hearings to this unwanted destination.
Despite the political
problems created by its lay practitioners and the scandals that rocked some of its TV ministries, this belief system-this
cult of Israel-has not been diminished.
Indeed, I hold that Christian Zionism threatens not just the lives of Palestinians and other
Arabs, but the very existence of the United States. Because of the cult of Israel, we have become a nation that does not
have its own Middle East policy, but the policy the government of Israel tells us to have.
Despite the terrifying aspects of the alliance of militant Christians
with militant Jewish Zionists, I find some encouraging developments. In my visits to colleges, clubs, and churches around
the country, I have found strong support for the message and warning in Prophecy and Politics. It has come not only from
liberal congregations, but from across the whole spectrum of Christianity, including those Christians who call themselves
fundamentalists. These supporters see Christ as the bearer to humanity of God's message of peace, brotherhood, love, and
reconciliation. These Christians do not endorse either the cult of Israel or its killIngs and beatings of Palestinians.
I have found many such
Christians in my frequent visits to my home state of Texas. There and all over this slowly-awakening land of ours, I have
found a small but increasing number of ministers and lay people who are deeply alarmed by the cult of Israel and willing
to stand up and speak out about it.

Introduction to Israel
By Jackie Patru
What IS this all about? First we should attempt to determine
what a Jew is, or isn't. Is a Jew a person who embraces a particular religion known as Judaism? Or, is it a Semitic
person who traces his/her bloodline to the ancient tribe of Judah? Or is it both? Actually, it is neither. Their
Biblical territory? The WORLD.
A Jewish Defector Warns America
BENJAMIN FREEDMAN SPEAKS. In 1961, at the Willard Hotel, Mr. Freedman warned of the cabal laying
plans for WWIII, and the genocide being committed by Israel on the Palestinian people figured heavily then as now.
This is a repost, taken verbatim from the taped version of the speech.
The Zionist State (Harbinger of WWIII)
By Douglas Reed
A microscopic look behind the scenes
at the manipulations, threats, bribes and murders committed in order to secure the vote by the United Nations, mandating
the 'state' of Israel as a homeland for the so-called Jews. A gruesome picture of the bloody terror in Palestine
that began simultaneously with the UN mandate. This a MUST READ, even for those who believe they know the
facts.
Rothschild-Israeli Connection
Baron Edmond James (Avrahim Binyamin) de
Rothschild (1845-1934) is known as the "Father of the Settlement" (Avi ha-Yishuv). The Independence
Day coin is dedicated to the memory of Rothschild and marks the centenary of his first projects in Israel.
The Kol Nidre
The first and most important prayer of the Talmudist (Jewish) Holiday.
"All vows , obligations, oaths, and anathemas. . . from this Day of Atonement until the next. . . we do repent..
May they be deemed absolved, forgiven, annulled, and void, and made of no effect; they shall not bind us nor have
power over us. The vows shall not be obligatory; nor the oaths be oaths."
Purim: What's It All About?
G.W.Bush announced 'his' decision to sack Iraq on Purim Eve, March
17th, 2003. WHY? Why Purim Eve? It was not his plan, it was the plan of his advisors/handlers. On CNN that
evening, a boxed quote told the viewers, it was "A Time Of Our Choosing." Whose choosing?
Read this about Purim -- the Feast of Lots, and you will KNOW who chose the time for the massacre in Iraq. "On
Purim, the Jews reaffirm their allegiance to Judaism -- and reach new spiritual heights. But then
come masquerades, parodies, and serious drinking and feasting." Celebrating the death of their named 'enemies'.
Samuel Untermeyer's Speech
A transcript of Samuel Untermyer's speech made
on WABC, declaring a 'holy war' by the Jews against Germany, and appealing to the masses of non-Jewish humanity
to boycott German-made imports and all merchants who have German-made items in their establishments. The entire
speech was published in the New York times on the morning following the broadcast (August 7th, 1933) which was mentioned
by Benjamin Freedman in his talk before a group of patriots.
The Protocols
A chapter from the Controversy of Zion, by Douglas Reed
"Uncanny knowledge, therefore,
again seems to have inspired the statement, made in 1905 or earlier: 'Ever since that time' (the French Revolution)
'we have been leading the peoples from one disenchantment to another... By these acts all States are in torture;
they exhort to tranquility, are ready to sacrifice everything for peace; but we will not give them peace until they
openly acknowledge our international Super-Government, and with submissiveness'."
Israel: The Jewel-Box of the World
ISRAEL - THE ARTIFICIAL 'NATION/STATE' IS THE WEALTHIEST 'NATION'
IN THE WORLD! READ: Message To Israel: May 1971: "See how this central piece of land, that is given
the preeminence over all other land by God is, 'The Jewel Box of the World'. . . They [minerals in the dead sea]
are estimated to have a total market value of about $1700 billion [$1.7 trillion] which is far more than
the total wealth of the United States. . . This means that the Dead Sea will be a perpetual source
of wealth to the nation that controls it."
The Cost of "Occupied" Israel to the American People
By Richard Curtiss
"Put another way, the nearly
$14,630 every one of 5.8 million Israelis had received from the U.S. government by October 31, 1997, cost American
taxpayers $23,241 per Israeli. That's $116,205 for every Israeli family of five."
The Finest Senate Money Can Buy
By Uri Avenim, member of Israeli Knesset
"One
thing, however, is quite clear: Israel is not the 51st state of the United States of America, as some would like
to think; rather, the US Congress is one of the occupied areas of Israel."
Israeli Lobby Slips Anti-Israel Speech Bill Through U.S. House of Representatives
This bill was introduced some time ago by Rick Santorum, 'Christian'
Senator from Penna. The original bill would withhold 'federal funds' from a college that allowed ANY criticism of
Israel. WHO controls the U.S. Congress?
Oscar Levy, a Jew, Admits His People's Error
"We (Jews) have erred, my friend; we have most grievously erred.
And if there was truth in our error 3,000, 2,000, nay, 100 years ago, there is now nothing but falseness and madness...
a madness that will produce an even greater misery and an even wider anarchy. There has been no progress, least
of all moral progress. . . And it is just our Morality, which has prohibited all real progress, and -- what is worse
-- which even stands in the way of every future and natural reconstruction in this ruined world of ours."
Disraeli's "Coningsby' - An Excerpt
(London, 1844)
"And at the moment, in spite
of centuries, or tens of centuries, of degradation, the Jewish mind exercises a vast influence on the affairs of
Europe. I speak not of their laws, which you still obey; of their literature, with which your minds are saturated,
but of the living Hebrew intellect."
