Netanyahu Calls for Deradicalized, Demilitarized Gaza and anti-Iran Abraham Alliance
|
|
|
The Israeli prime minister cited the examples of post-World War II Germany and Japan as a model for his vision of "peace, prosperity and security."
|
|
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday laid out his vision for post-Hamas Gaza, calling for the enclave to be “demilitarized and deradicalized” in a manner similar to Germany and Japan after World War II.
Speaking to a joint session of Congress in the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., he also called for the establishment of a Middle Eastern defense alliance to confront the threat posed to the region by Iran.
“The day after we defeat Hamas, a new Gaza can emerge. My vision for that day is of a demilitarized and deradicalized Gaza,” said the Israeli premier. “Israel does not seek to resettle Gaza. But for the foreseeable future, we must retain overriding security control there to prevent the resurgence of terror, to ensure that Gaza never again poses a threat to Israel,” he added.
He called for a Palestinian civilian administration in Gaza, on the condition that it not seek to destroy the Jewish state.
“That’s not too much to ask. It’s a fundamental thing that we have a right to demand and to receive,” he said.
“A new generation of Palestinians must no longer be taught to hate Jews but rather to live in peace with us. Those twin words, demilitarization and deradicalization, those two concepts were applied to Germany and Japan after World War II, and that led to decades of peace, prosperity and security.
“Following our victory, with the help of regional partners, the demilitarization and deradicalization of Gaza can also lead to a future of security, prosperity and peace. That’s my vision for Gaza.” (JNS.org) Read more here.

- Abba, thank you for Your son, Benjamin, for his honesty and willingness to speak truth in the face of such hatred from his enemies. Father God, we ask for Your perfect will in Gaza, give Your intercessors strategy to pray Your plans into reality. We ask You to create a coalition that will put in place a framework for the governing of Gaza once this war has ended. We ask that all in Hamas be found and locked up so they can NEVER do again what they did on Oct. 7. We ask You to bring into the light all ties to Iran and any other subversive groups abetting Iran's intentions of destroying Israel. Jesus, Your people Israel are in desperate need of Your Peace, we ask You to spread it across Your land, into every heart. We ask this in the name Jehovah Shalom, God Our Peace.
- "The God of Peace be with you all. AMEN" (Romans 15:33)

Netanyahu-Biden Meeting to Focus on Gaza Ceasefire Deal
|
|
|
The two leaders will look to fill "final gaps" between the sides, according to administration officials.
|
|
Ongoing efforts to secure a ceasefire in Gaza will take center stage during Israeli Prime Minister’s scheduled meeting with President Joe Biden at the White House on Thursday, according to administration officials.
A senior administration official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said on Wednesday that ceasefire talks were on the final stretch. The president and prime minister will try to close some “final gaps,” he said. “We believe it’s in the closing stages and a deal is closeable.”
He reiterated comments by U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, who said on July 19 that a hostage-for-ceasefire deal would be the “overriding focus” of the meeting.
Biden himself in his Wednesday speech announcing his withdrawal from the presidential race signaled that bringing a halt to fighting in Gaza would remain a top priority for his remaining tenure.
“I’m going to keep working to end the war on Gaza, bring home all the hostages, to bring peace and security to the Middle East and end this war,” he said.
Netanyahu will ask that any ceasefire deal include written assurance that Israel can resume fighting until it meets its war objectives, Israel’s Channel 12 reported. (JNS.org) Read more here.

- Abba, we know that Your heart breaks for all the remaining hostages and their families, and so do ours. Father God, this is not a problem that man can fix, this conflict has its roots in biblical history and You are the only one who has the power to truly change the hearts of those who so hate Your people. We ask for Your perfect will to be done in these discussions, that truth will be spoken and Your heart will shine through the words of PM Netanyahu. We ask you to bring together all things needed to redeem these circumstances and bring the hostages home. We ask Holy Spirit to move on the hearts of Hamas leadership, bring thoughts and understandings that will guide them to agree to a ceasefire created by Your power and authority. Let all details align with Your heart and intentions, not that of the enemy. We ask this in the name Jehovah Nissi, The Lord Our Banner, where banner is understood to be a rallying place. This name commemorates the desert victory over the Amalekites.
- "I put no trust in my bow, my sword
does not bring me victory;
but you give us victory over our enemies,
you put our adversaries to shame." (Psalm 44:6-7 )

Netanyahu Should Call on America's Christians to Restore Gaza
|
|
This week, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is in America to meet with President Biden, Vice President Harris, and speak to Congress. He will thank the US for its support for Israel in general, and specifically during the current war against Hamas, talk about the unbreakable relationship between Israel and the US as democratic allies with common values, and enemies. He will talk about the righteousness of Israel’s position in this war that was thrust upon us, and possibly about what the future of Gaza and maybe the wider Middle East ought to be. Minimally, he’ll talk about what the relationship cannot be: with the Iranian Islamic regime continuing to threaten Israel and the world, and the Iranian proxies of Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis not being able to continue to threaten us “the day after.”
Netanyahu may or may not expressly mention (or reject) the “two-state solution” as the answer for long term peace. But what he should call for, and the US should widely embrace, is a bold solution that actually can bring a real solution for peace in Gaza, one that addresses the theological/ideological root of the problem, rather than creating an independent Palestinian state governed by terrorists.
The actual solution is a complete restoration of Gaza undertaken by Christians from America and around the world. It’s a radical idea, all the more so as promoted by an Orthodox Israeli Jew.
The core of the problem in Gaza under the Iranian-backed Hamas, and embraced by most Gazans, is an extremist Islamic ideology that calls for the destruction of Israel, and the genocide of Jews. Christians, on the other hand, love Gazans and love Israel and the Jewish people. They are honest brokers who can restore Gaza with love, and prevent a rebuilding of the culture of hate and terror.

- Abba, we don't know what Your plan is for Gaza and her people. We ask for open hearts and minds to hear and obey what You ask of us, to be willing to step out of our comfort zones and walk in unknown pathways. We ask Holy Spirit to move on the hearts of all Gazan's, reveal Yourself in miraculous ways, change minds and hearts. Open their minds to the concept that what they have been taught since childhood isn't necessarily the only way to faith. Jesus, let your amazing love cover them giving them an understanding of what unconditional love really feels like, give them eyes to see themselves as You see them..children created in Your image. We ask this in the name Jehovah Rapha, The God Who Heals.
- "He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds." (Psalm 147:3)

2. The Values that Made Western Society Great Came From the Bible – The Economic Collapse blog
Right now there is a tremendous amount of debate about what values our society should embrace. There are some that are promoting the benefits of “conservative values”, there are some that are promoting the benefits of “liberal values”, and there are others that are promoting the benefits of other types of values. But if we really want to make western society great again, the truth is that we should return to the values that made western society great in the first place. Those values are the reason why western nations were the most prosperous and most civilized nations on the entire planet for centuries. And once other nations started adopting those same values, they became more prosperous and more civilized too.
The values that I am talking about are the values that we find in the Bible.
All throughout history, civilizations that have chosen to do things God’s way have been blessed.
And civilizations that have chosen not to do things God’s way have been cursed. (Read more here) |

- Father God, how we repent before You for the way we have let our culture decay and fall away from the strong standard of Your Word. We pray that more and more people will become aware of the blessings of following You and Your plan for lives, both individually and corporately as a nation. We pray that as lawlessness and immorality have increased, that you would put on the hearts of Your people to pray for an awakening to what You require of us as a nation. Bless You, Lord, for being merciful to us as we intercede for our nation until it comes to where it should be in You.

3. After CrowdStrike Outage, Companies and Governments Reassess Risks of Using Cloud – The Epoch Times
We’re losing our resiliency as a nation,’ a cybersecurity consultant says.
As companies and government agencies around the world scramble to restore their computer systems following last week’s global outage from a faulty software update, questions are being raised about whether proper protocols for updates were followed.
Simultaneously, technology analysts are raising concerns about the extent of America’s increasing dependence on an oligopoly of cloud computing firms.
An antivirus software update issued on July 19 by CrowdStrike, one of the largest cybersecurity companies, caused more than a billion Windows-based computers to crash, taking down essential operations at airports, hospitals, 911 centers, police departments, trains, jails and other municipal services, as well as corporate operations.
The company has issued multiple apologies since the event and pledged to resolve the issues, much of which cannot be done through system-wide updates but requires fixes on individual computers. (Read more) |

- Father, we know You are in control of all things, even the "Cloud." We see what a mess can be created when man's inventions go wrong. Lord, we ask that you would keep Your eye on these potentially devastating events and see to it that this does not happen again. We pray that You would give those who manage the "Cloud" more wisdom in the future for the safety of all mankind and that they would look to You for wisdom to manage so vital a thing.
- "Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength" (Eccl. 9:16)

4. House Votes Unanimously to Form Task Force to Investigate Trump Assassination Attempt – The Epoch Times
The task force will take control of all House probes into the incident and must produce a report on its investigation.
The House of Representatives on July 24 passed a resolution creating a special task force to investigate the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump on July 13.
House Speaker Mike Johnson had announced the task force on July 18 amid bipartisan criticism of both the assassination attempt and the U.S. Secret Service’s actions before the incident. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries later endorsed the task force’s creation, which was established by the House in a resolutionthat passed by a vote of 416 in favor to 0 against.
“[W]e are announcing a House Task Force made up of seven Republicans and six Democrats to thoroughly investigate the matter,” wrote Messrs. Johnson and Jeffries in a joint statement on July 24. “The task force will be empowered with subpoena authority and will move quickly to find the facts, ensure accountability, and make certain such failures never happen again,” they noted.

5. How Radical is Kamala Harris? Here are 13 Things She Personally Endorsed – The Blaze
Glenn Beck delves into the VP’s political history to give you an accurate picture of what a presidency under Kamala would look like. Here are 13 things about Kamala Harris that everyone should know.
1. “She was one of only 14 people that endorsed the Green New Deal,” says Glenn. Among those who signed it were Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, placing Kamala with “the radical of the radical.”
2. Harris “co-sponsored single-payer health care” (i.e. universal health care).
3. She advocated for “a complete transition away from fossil fuels in ten years” – which would have led to the “collapse of our economy,” says Glenn.
4. She supported a “universal government jobs guarantee.”
5. “She was also for government programs promising universal access to healthy foods.” (To read the other 8 points listed in this article, please go here.) |

- Dear Lord, Kamala Harris is an individual who has not performed well in her job as Vice President. She went along with every policy Joe Biden has put into place and has achieved zero accomplishments since she began her term. She is a radical, with radical ideas that will burden our economy, drive us into socialism, and destroy the values we hold dear. Please expose her lies and let the American people know her truths. We don't want her policies in place and we sure don't want her in the White House. Lord give us the wisdom and knowledge to combat this evil regime that desires to take over and enslave us. We know you want what is best for this country therefore lead us to the intended candidate. Your will be done in Jesus' mighty name, Amen and Amen.

6. Kamala Can’t Win on Policy or Performance, So the Media Will Make This Campaign A Race War – Discern Report
Kamala Harris loses any debate on policy or performance, so the media will avoid it by fabricating racism from here to Election Day.
It’s a given that the news media will assist the Democrat ticket for president in any way they can this election, but since the party is now set to nominate a black Woman of Color, “any way they can” is going to include some shockingly vicious schemes. Yes, even more so than their usual brazen deception and perversity.
There was a small peek at what’s to come when none other than the White House Correspondents’ Association President Eugene Daniels, also a reporter for Politico, posted a clip on X from Fox News that he said featured a quote it demonstrably did not.
The video was from Wednesday’s edition of “Fox & Friends,” co-hosted by Brian Kilmeade, to whom Daniels attributed a completely false comment. “She’d rather address, in the summer, a sorority … a COLORED sorority, like she can’t get outta that!” wrote Daniels in his fake transcript of the segment on Vice President Kamala Harris. “Then, in what he presumably believed to be a humorous comment of his own, Daniels wrote, “Not this in the year of Beyonce 2024.” (Read more) |

- Heavenly Father, Kamala Harris is a radical leftist who doesn't have a clue how to lead our nation. She could not be bothered to meet with Netanyahu, our closest ally this week in Washington. Without any accomplishments in three and a half years she most likely will run with the race card. Americans don't deserve to be divided we are a nation under God and we want to stay this way. Help us to be united with our cause wanting to be the greatest nation on earth and to be united as one race. We love our country, neighbors, allies, freedoms, and we love our almighty God. Help us to unite and love each other unconditionally. We give you all the glory, power, and praise. In Jesus' name Amen and Amen.

Shame: The Government Media Complex
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, July 25, 2024
It’s been termed the “Government Media Complex” by some conservative writers. It refers to the mainstream, corporate media that is taking the hard-left position in its coverage of the presidential race, a mouthpiece for the Biden Administration, and ongoing purveyor of dog whistle rhetoric spewed by the hateful left. Americans wake up! Just read the headlines of what has happened over the past two weeks. CNN, Washington Post, New York Times, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC and various other left-leaning propaganda machines downplayed the assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump and subsequently refused to report the substance of his Republican nomination acceptance speech.
In the moments after the Trump shooting, I went to the aforementioned media sites to get updated information. They actually downplayed the assassination attempt. Collectively, they portrayed the event as something totally other than what it was. Anybody watching the speech could tell that there were rapid fire shots at the former president. The government media complex reported that there was a “security incident” and Trump had to be escorted off the stage. It was literally over an hour before these giants of news got around to reporting the truth. They downplayed the assassination attempt as if some sort of technical glitch had taken place. Nothing to see here. Read More

Chinese and Russian Bombers Enter Alaska Air Defense Zone Together for the First Time

Chinese and Russian Bombers Enter Alaska Air Defense Zone Together for the First Time
|
|
|
The United States and Canada scrambled fighters on Wednesday as Chinese and Russian nuclear-capable bombers flew off the coast of Alaska.
According to the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), it was the first time a Chinese H-6 bomber had penetrated Alaska’s Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ).
An ADIZ is a buffer region surrounding a nation’s sovereign airspace. Sending military planes into another nation’s ADIZ is not an act of war, but it is considered provocative, especially since fighters will usually be launched to monitor the incoming aircraft and ensure they are not a threat.
China frequently sends warplanes into the ADIZ of Taiwan, for example, forcing the much smaller Taiwanese air force to exhaust itself in response — a tactic known as “gray zone” warfare.
NORAD noted that Russian bombers have entered Alaska’s ADIZ before, most recently in May, but this appears to be the first time Chinese bombers have accompanied them.
NORAD said it “detected, tracked, and intercepted two Russian TU-95 and two PRC [People’s Republic of China] H-6 military aircraft” in the Alaskan ADIZ. The U.S. sent F-16 and F-35 fighters to monitor their activities, while Canada launched CF-18 fighters, the Royal Canadian Air Force version of the American F/A-18 Hornet.
“The Russian and PRC aircraft remained in international airspace and did not enter American or Canadian sovereign airspace,” NORAD said.
“This Russian and PRC activity in the Alaska ADIZ is not seen as a threat, and NORAD will continue to monitor competitor activity near North America and meet presence with presence,” the statement added. (Breitbart) Read more here.

what to do!
At this time, King of kings, we bring the nations of Russia and China before Your throne—may they see what You think about their shared intrusion into Arctic/Alaskan-ADIZ- air space. Bring chaos to their military plans and much infighting within the leadership of each nation and between the two
nations. Cause their attempts at cooperation to fail miserably. So far we believe this is ‘sabre rattling’ and ‘testing the waters’, but we pray that our enemies’ attempts to bring fear to the U.S. and to cause us to use up vital resources every time we must scramble the fighters to intercept their
planes, would cease and desist.
We see also, Lord, that this is happening at a time when the U.S. is in a very vulnerable position, as we do not appear to have strong leadership in place on the federal level. King of Kings, we ask that our voters see the truth of what is happening and elect strong leaders that can be used by You to deter wars and to bring Godly restoration to our country. We ask Your divine supernatural and angelic help to fill in the gaps on our wall as Your intercessors exercise the authority You have given to them to fight the battle in the heavenlies. Thank You, Lord, that the government is upon Your shoulder and that You are our lawgiver and judge and promise to save us.

Top Jewish group fears a Harris presidency would be 'far worse' amid rising antisemitism

Top Jewish group fears a Harris presidency would be 'far worse' amid rising antisemitism
|
|
|
Netanyahu's U.S. visit comes at a critical moment in Harris' campaign
|
|
|
Vice President Kamala Harris' "weak condemnation" of Wednesday's anti-Israel protests, absence from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's congressional address and sympathetic rhetoric regarding Gaza shows the presumptive Democrat presidential nominee will be a "far worse" partner for Israel than President Joe Biden, a GOP Jewish advocacy group claims.
"If you thought Joe Biden was bad on issues of top concern for pro-Israel voters, Kamala Harris is far worse," Sam Markstein, Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) national political director, told Fox News Digital in a statement.
"It took her a full day to issue a weak condemnation of the pro-Hamas mobs that burned American flags and chanted vile antisemitic slogans at Jews in Washington, D.C. – with zero mention of any concrete action she would take to hold them accountable. It should be easy to condemn antisemitism – the real question is what she will do to confront it, and her statement speaks for itself," Markstein added. "Clearly, her priorities are not our priorities – and if elected, we can expect more of the same."
Netanyahu arrived in the U.S. on Monday after being invited by members of Congress to address lawmakers during a joint session. Harris, who became the likely Democratic nominee for president after Biden withdrew from the race, was not present to greet Netanyahu on the tarmac when he arrived.
The Israeli prime minister delivered his address to Congress Wednesday, where he detailed the horrors of the country's war against Hamas. Harris declined to preside over the address and instead attended a sorority event in Indiana.
Anti-Israel protests broke out across Washington D.C. ahead of Netanyahu's big speech, where agitators burned the American Flag, called the Israeli prime minister a "war criminal," and vandalized a Liberty Bell replica with pro-Hamas writing. (Fox News) Read more here.

- Father God, we are sickened by the actions of the leaders of the Democratic Party. Abba, we apologize to You and to the nation of Israel for the ugly, egregious treatment of Bibi Netanyahu by our president, vice-president and various Democratic members of Congress. No U.S. representative greeted him upon arrival; and unchallenged, destructive anti-Semitic protests raged in D.C. as U.S. flags were burned and Netanyahu burned in effigy. At least one of the ‘Squad’ tagged Bibi a ‘war criminal’.
Lord, we know the first step is forgiveness. Father forgive them, for they don’t have any idea what they are really doing. Help us to forgive as well, or at least be made willing to do so; and we call forth a Day of Visitation for each of those in power who do not know You. May Your people come to prayer and repentance that You may indeed come and restore what the locusts have eaten here. Help us to be beacons of light—truth, love, righteousness—amidst the wicked darkness that threatens to overtake the land.
Father God, we ask fervently that Your Holy Spirit hover over all election sites, giving people a vision of what abundant life can be if we renounce evil in the land and vote in righteous leaders that You can use. May the election results be true, no fraud of any kind overlooked. Above all, may the U.S. bless Israel and the Jewish Diaspora and refrain from interfering in Israel’s government and policies, except to come alongside in whatever way is needed. May we bless the homeland and people of Yeshua!

Park Fire in Northern California explodes in its first day; man arrested on suspicion of starting blaze
|
|
|
A wildfire that started Wednesday afternoon in a park near Chico, California, north of Sacramento, exploded in size overnight and continued to spread through the day Thursday — and it may have been deliberately set. The Park Fire grew from about 6,400 acres late Wednesday night to 45,550 acres Thursday morning and then to over 71,400 acres Thursday afternoon local time, Cal Fire said. The fire was only 3% contained.
"This fire has fingers that are growing in different directions depending on which way the wind is blowing," Butte County Sheriff Kory Honea said.
Cal Fire arson investigators have arrested a 42-year-old Chico man on suspicion of starting the blaze, Butte County District Attorney Mike Ramsey announced.
His arrest followed reports of an unknown male seen pushing a burning car into a gully at around 3 p.m. Wednesday in the upper part of Bidwell Park, where the blaze broke out, the district attorney said. The car slid 60 feet down an embankment and went up in flames completely, sparking the Park Fire.
Ramsey said the unknown man was then seen calmly leaving the area among other residents who fled as the fire rapidly grew. A local judge issued an arrest warrant Thursday morning for the suspect's arrest, and he was booked into the Butte County Jail where the warrant stipulated he would be held without bond until his Monday arraignment. The suspect's name will be released later, officials said. Read More

'Christians of America Stand Solidly with Israel': Netanyahu Meets with Evangelicals in DC
|
|
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with a group of evangelical Christian leaders in the nation's capital on Tuesday. At the meeting he expressed his gratitude for their steadfast friendship in the face of global antisemitism and the painful aftermath of the October 7th terrorist atrocities. "I want to thank you for your incredible support at all times and especially in these trying times," he told the group. "We have no better friends than you, and I don't say that lightly or haphazardly. It comes from the heart. It also comes from knowing how deeply you are committed to Israel, and how strongly you stand up for Israel, stand up for the truth, stand up for our common heritage and our common values," Netanyahu said. Today, Netanyahu reflected on the gathering with American evangelicals, saying, "Hearing their prayers for the return of the hostages, the well-being of our soldiers, and the security of the State of Israel was profoundly moving."
Pastor John Hagee, the leader of Christians United for Israel, was among the supporters who met with Netanyahu. "Our message today to the prime minister and to the Jewish people of Israel and the United States, is that the Christians of America stand solidly with Israel," he said. "We are appalled at the way our government has been treating the Jewish people, and we want the people of Israel to know that we are steadfastly supporting them. We feel that they have every right to be totally victorious in this military conflict and we're here to tell them," Hagee added. The Jewish News Syndicate reports some of the other attendees included Family Research Council President Tony Perkins, Philos Project Executive Director Luke Moon, evangelist Paula White, Friends of Zion chairman Mike Evans, and Jordanna McMillen, U.S. director of the Israel Allies Caucus Foundation. "I think Israel and the Jewish people have no greater supporter, ally, and friend than evangelical, Bible-believing Christians in this country," Perkins said. (CBN) Read More! Here

"i returned and saw under the sun that—
The race is not to the swift,
Nor the battle to the strong,
Nor bread to the wise,
Nor riches to men of understanding,
Nor favor to men of skill;
But time and chance happen to them all."
(Ecclesiastes 9:11)

"Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior. In Your Name."

All the Way my Savior Leads Me
To listen to this classic hymn, CLICK HERE
Words: Fanny Crosby
Music: Robert Lowry
Scripture: The Lamb…will lead them to springs of living water. Revelation 7:17
Lyrics:
All the way my Savior leads me;
What have I to ask beside?
Can I doubt His tender mercy,
Who through life has been my guide?
Heav’nly peace, divinest comfort,
Here by faith in Him to dwell!
For I know, whate’er befall me,
Jesus doeth all things well;
For I know, whate’er befall me,
Jesus doeth all things well.
All the way my Savior leads me,
Cheers each winding path I tread;
Gives me grace for every trial,
Feeds me with the living bread.
Though my weary steps may falter,
And my soul athirst may be,
Gushing from the rock before me,
Lo! A spring of joy I see;
Gushing from the rock before me,
Lo! A spring of joy I see.
All the way my Savior leads me
O the fullness of His love!
Perfect rest to me is promised
In my Father’s house above.
When my spirit, clothed immortal,
Wings its flight to realms of day
This my song through endless ages—
Jesus led me all the way;
This my song through endless ages—
Jesus led me all the way.
