Quake hits southwestern China, kills 19 By ALEXA OLESEN, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 19 minutes ago

BEIJING - A magnitude-5.1 earthquake hit a mountainous area in southwestern China on Saturday, killing at least 19 people and injuring 60 as it toppled homes and set off landslides. The earthquake struck at 9:10 a.m. in Yanjin county in Yunnan province, the official Xinhua News Agency said.Chinese television showed roads in Yanjin blocked by landslides, a car crushed under fallen rocks and several single-story homes with tiled roofs that had completely collapsed. Villagers were huddled under umbrellas and makeshift tents to keep away from the sun.

Liu Tengfei, a high school student from the Yanjin town of Dousha, was at a friend's house when the temblor hit.The house was shaking and then a clock on the wall fell down and broke, so we ran out, Liu said by telephone. He said many buildings were badly cracked and officials had ordered people to sleep outdoors Saturday night.A Dousha official, Chen Hua, said at least five aftershocks followed the earthquake.A Yanjin county official who would only give his surname, Xiao, said rescuers had confirmed 16 dead and 60 injured in Yanjin. Xiao said 100 houses were destroyed in the county and about 1,000 damaged.Xinhua said 500 tents, 1,000 quilts and 500 blankets had been sent to the area.A man named Shen with the Zhaotong Seismological Bureau said three people were reported dead in nearby Daguan county. He had no figure for the number of injured.Yanjin is 1,100 miles southwest of Beijing and has a population of 350,000.

LUKE 21:25-26
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

Death toll from Indonesia tsunami hits 659 Sat Jul 22, 7:17 AM ET

PANGANDARAN, Indonesia - The death toll from the Indonesian tsunami earlier this week rose to 659 after emergency workers reached a previously inaccessible area along Java island's southern coast, the government said Saturday. Drajat Santosa, an official at the government's National Disaster Management Coordinating Board, said nearly 100 bodies were found in a part of Ciamis district that had been cut off by a broken bridge.The toll climbed to 659 with 330 others missing, he said. Previously, the government said 547 had been killed.

A powerful earthquake on Monday sent towering waves crashing into a 110-mile stretch of Java's southern coast, destroying scores of houses, restaurants and hotels. Cars, motorbikes and boats were left mangled amid fishing nets, furniture and other debris.

Cover-up claims as China storm toll leaps to 530 by Peter Harmsen
1 hour, 1 minute ago

BEIJING (AFP) - Chinese officials were warned against cover-ups on after the death toll from a tropical storm more than doubled overnight. A week after Bilis made landfall, the official number of people killed in gales and floods was given at 530, up from 228 reported just a day earlier, according to the state-run Xinhua news agency Saturday.Officials who try to hide the death toll will be punished,the agency said, citing the government of Hunan, the central province that bore the brunt of the destruction brought about by Bilis.Hunan on Friday revised the province's number of fatalities dramatically upwards to 346, compared with 92 previously, with some evidence the difference was partly to be blamed on cover-ups.

Pingshi town, one of the worst affected areas, had only reported 39 dead and missing, but a TV team had found the actual number to be three times as large, the China Daily newspaper said Saturday.The statistics shocked me, too,said Zhao Baojun, an official with the Ministry of Civil Affairs in charge of gathering data about casualties from Bilis.The ministry has sent an investigative team to Hunan, and also issued a notice warning against hiding the true extent of the damage.Those who are responsible for covering up the death toll and the number of missing people will be held accountable,the notice said, according to the China Daily.

Chinese officials at the local level are known to often instinctively cover up bad news, for fear of being punished.In the case of natural disasters, that fear may be exacerbated if preparations for emergencies turn out to have been inadequate.Luo Xiwu, deputy head of the Communist Party in the region which includes Pingshi, said officials may have been too busy saving lives to count the number of casualties.The officials did not shift their work focus from rescue and relief to death toll head-count and damage investigation until the rainstorms stopped and the floods receded, Luo told Xinhua.The breakdown of communication and traffic systems made it very hard for the local civil affairs department to collect information on death and damage.Zhan Xiao'an, director of Hunan provincial flood control headquarters, told Xinhua the power supply in some flooded areas had not been resumed.

A preference among Hunan farmers to live near rivers and mountains was partly to blame for the large death toll in the province, Zhan said.Tropical Storm Bilis, which also claimed lives in the Philippines and Taiwan, has left a path of death and destruction since making landfall in China a week ago.Preliminary statistics showed 106 were confirmed dead in the southern province of Guangdong, according to Xinhua. This figure included 36 more fatalities reported on Saturday, and another seven late in the day.Some 77 were still missing there, Xinhua said. It also reported 35 dead in the southern region of Guangxi, an increase of five from the day before, and 43 in southeastern Fujian province. More typhoons or tropical rainstorms are expected to hit China this year, partly due to the warm ocean current in the northwestern Pacific and high temperatures in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, meteorologists have warned.

Israelis mass on Lebanese border

Israel has massed soldiers and tanks on the border with Lebanon and called up thousands of reserve troops, in a possible prelude to a ground offensive.Planes dropped leaflets on southern Lebanon warning any civilians to leave. Israeli soldiers are already fighting Hezbollah inside Lebanon, but the army chief of staff said any incursion into the country would be limited in scope. The United Nations humanitarian chief Jan Egeland is due to arrive in Beirut to assess the crisis on the ground. Mr Egeland has warned the situation is deteriorating by the hour, with half a million people needing assistance - a number, he said, which was likely to grow dramatically.He is expected to call on Israel to guarantee safe passage by land, sea and air for humanitarian supplies.

US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is travelling to the Middle East on Sunday, as is German Foreign Minister Frank Walter Steinmeier, who helped broker a prisoner exchange between Israel and Hezbollah in 2004. The latest crisis was triggered by the capture of two Israeli soldiers by Hezbollah militants on 12 July.

Fierce clashes

On the 11th day of the air campaign against Lebanon, Israel continued its assault, saying it was targeting Hezbollah rocket launchers and command posts, along with roads linking Lebanon to Syria. It hit at least two communications and TV transmission towers - one in the Kesrwan mountains, east of Beirut, and in Terbol in northern Lebanon. There was no word on casualties.

Hezbollah has been firing rockets into northern Israel

The Israeli air force says it has hit 70 targets in Lebanon since Friday night, and 1,800 targets over the course of the campaign.
Israeli soldiers are continuing some ground incursions into Lebanon, and are currently occupying one Lebanese village, Maroun al-Ras, but have withdrawn from another, Marwahin. They have met fierce resistance at Maroun al-Ras, with six soldiers killed over the last three days. Between two and 10 Israelis are said to have been injured in northern Israeli towns, as rockets continue to be fired over the border.The BBC's Martin Asser is travelling south on the main road between Beirut and Tyre, close to the Israeli border.

He passed hundreds of cars heading north, packed with families fleeing from the area where the Israelis dropped leaflets on Friday.

Many cars were flying white flags to show they were civilians.

The exodus has created a huge traffic jam outside Tyre, which is preventing some Lebanese entering the town to rescue family and friends, our correspondent adds.Meanwhile the Israeli army has insisted a large-scale invasion is not imminent, despite the thousands of reservists who have been called up. It said raids across the border would continue, targeting Hezbollah bunkers and tunnels that could not be destroyed from the air.

No occupation

Marcus Shef, a spokesman for Israeli Defence Force, told the BBC: We have no intention whatsoever of occupying Lebanon, we came out of Lebanon in 2000, without the intention of going back into Lebanon.

World Media Wavers in Support of Israel
By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu (ARUTZ-7 INN)www.israelnationalnews.com

American newspapers have almost unanimously backed Israel's retaliation against Hizbullah. Some say Israel is doing what Bush should have done, but Europe and Asia want a withdrawal. Canadian and Australian dailies also have sided with Israel. Most British newspapers followed a tepid anti-Israel line, noting understanding of Israel's concerns. The Times of London expressed sympathy for Israel's reaction, but added, It would not be in Israels interests to regard the moral high ground from which it set out nine days ago as a free hand to act without regard to the world around it....Now, easing the bombardment unilaterally rather than waiting for US pressure to do so would earn the Israeli Prime Minister wider respect.The Daily Telegraph refrained from criticizing Israel but concluded that only diplomacy and a surrender of all of Judea and Samaria will allow peace in the Middle East. Indonesian, Indian, and other Asian newspapers sided with the Arab claim that Israel is an aggressor and must retreat.

Israel's only major forthright editorial support came from the United States, Canada and Australia.The ChicagoSun-Times wrote, Israel must rigorously defend its right to exist,and the Detroit News News concluded, Ultimately, Israel has the right do whats necessary to protect its people.The Richmond, Virginia Times-Dispatch criticized those who denounced Israel's reaction as disproportionate and declared, If anything, Israel has acted with remarkable restraint.The Augusta, Georgia Chronicle asked if the critics of disproportionate reaction would say the same thing if the United States were responding to rocket attacks on its sovereign territory.It called the civilian toll in Lebanon reasonable. Israel is "completely justified," according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel , and USA Today noted that it was difficult for Israel to calculate its response.The Washington Post, which traditionally leans to the left, backed Israel but expressed reservations concerning its stance if the current rate of civilian casualties and damage continues.

A major California newspaper took a swipe at the American president. The San Francisco Chronicle wrote that the Bush administrations response has been to stay out of Israels way, save for a few benign statements about a need for restraint. The world cant afford to wait. In Canada, the Edmonton Sun reminded readers that Canadians were part of a United Nations peace-keeping force on the Israeli-Lebanese border and that the problem, sadly, remains Lebanon's.The Toronto Globe & Mail praised Prime Minister's Stephen Harper's for saying what he thought in his forthright support for Israel.In Australia, support for Israel was also noted. The outrage about the accidental wartime deaths of Lebanese children seems to far outweigh that felt for Israeli youth deliberately targeted by suicide bombers in calculated acts of murder. Likewise in the occupied territories,according to The Australian. However, it advised Israeli supporters "to calmly deploy an arsenal of facts instead of relying on emotions to convince opponents.The assumption of many in the media that there is something suspicious about a democracy that fights, rather than appeases its enemies, makes it easy for the ignorant and the anti-Semitic to paint Israel as an aggressor, it said in an editorial.

The China Post hedged and simply wrote that all sides should seek a cease-fire while backing American demands that Hizbullah terrorists release two IDF soldiers they kidnapped last week.

NOTICE VERY CLOSELY ARABS, PALESTINIANS AND MUSLIMS. WHAT THIS READING SAYS!!!!!!!!!!

EZEKIEL 36:24-28
24 For I (GOD) will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries,(ISRAELIS) and will bring you into your own land.
25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
28 And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.

From the burning of ISRAELIS by Hitler , comes this Ezekiel 37. From the dry bones of death to the poor Israelis, GOD gave Israel the LAND never to be GIVEN UP AGAIN. GOD PLANTED ISRAEL IN THEIR LAND (ARABS) NOT ISMAELS LAND. No matter what Israel goes through there will always be Israelis on the LAND and JERUSALEM will eventually become the WORLD CAPITAL AFTER TRIALS.

EZEKIEL 37:1-28
1 The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,
2 And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.
3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.
4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.
5 Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:
6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.
8 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.
9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.
10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.
12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.
13 And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,
14 And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD.
15 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions:
17 And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand.
18 And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these?
19 Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.
20 And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes.
21 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:
22 And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:
23 Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.
24 And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.
25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children’s children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever.
26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
27 My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
28 And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.

3,000 Americans emigrate to Israel
As rockets fly, planeloads of Jews arrive in Middle East
Posted: 9:00 p.m. Eastern,By Alex Traiman,© 2006 WorldNetDaily.com

TEL AVIV – As rockets slam into Israel and Israeli reprisals force Lebanese to flee the border region and parts of Beirut, more than 3,000 American citizens are leaving the comfort and security of the United States to make war-torn Israel their home. What is the best answer to Hezbollah? asked former Israeli prime minister and current opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu during a welcome address to the new citizens. You are the answer to Hezbollah. More than 250 new immigrants arrived yesterday at Israel's Ben Gurion International Airport to add to the rapidly growing Jewish population in Israel. The planeload was the second of seven flights scheduled for this summer and the first arrival since the outbreak of violence with Lebanon. The flights are arranged by Nefesh B'Nefesh, a private organization that provides financial incentives and social services to new immigrants from North America. Yesterday's planeload was the 17th since Nefesh B'Nefesh began chartering flights for immigrants in 2002.

The act of immigrating to Israel is called Aliyah, meaning to ascend, in Hebrew. Once they arrive in Israel, new citizens are referred to as olim, meaning pilgrims.Former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaks to immigrants yesterday Yehoshua Fass, director of Nefesh B'Nefesh and a former pulpit rabbi in Boca Raton, Fla., called the flight the ultimate solidarity mission. Leading up to yesterday's flight, thousands of American citizens were fleeing the region back to the U.S. Israel's national airline carrier, El Al, has added extra flights to New York to accommodate those seeking to escape the violence. Since the conflict began last week, more than 1,000 rockets, mostly Katyushas, have been fired from Lebanon into northern Israel, killing 18 civilians and injuring scores of others. Lebanese Internal Security Forces say more than 250 civilians have been killed during Israeli air strikes, with hundreds more wounded.

While the conflict began months after the incoming flights of new Israeli citizens were arranged, the immigrants and the dignitaries who welcomed them repeatedly pointed out the symbolism of arriving in Israel during a war. You are making Israel stronger,said Netanyahu. Aliyah is the lifeline of Israel. Israel is the only homeland for the Jewish people, and the Jewish people must fight for its place in it. Referring to Israel's chances of victory in the war against Hamas and Hezbollah, Netanyahu stated in his address, We have won, we have prevailed. We have built cities, we built industry, we have built infrastructure.

Immigrants welcomed to Israel

We are a very powerful country. We are applying only a fraction of our power,Netanyahu added. Following the speech, Netanyahu commented on the continued threat of rockets raining on northern Israeli cities from Lebanon. We must stop the rockets to protect these olim,Netanyahu told WND. At a farewell ceremony for the emigrating American citizens in New York's John F. Kennedy international airport, Israel's consul general in New York, stated, The fact that you are making Aliyah at this point in time is a vote of confidence and security in the state of Israel and the victory over terrorism. While many of the new Israelis are moving to locations out of range of Katyusha rockets from the north and Qassam rockets from the south, several are moving to cities recently bombarded, including Haifa and Ashkelon.Yet despite the rocket threat, most of the new residents offered statements of confidence regarding their personal and, now, national security.

Sammy Capuano, who arrived on the flight with his wife Shiri and their six-month-old son from Aventura, Fla., told WND that despite the ongoing violence, it's a feeling of relief to be in Israel.God could have put Israel in Texas or the Bahamas,Capuano said. But God put us here amongst our enemies to teach us that our security comes from one source: from following God's commandments.
Nachum Kligman was one of hundreds of guests ushering the arrival of immigrants at Ben Gurion Airport. He was there with his family to welcome his parents on their Aliyah. Kligman himself made Aliyah on Nefesh B'Nefesh's inaugural flight in July 2002.

Kligman is not concerned about the threat to his safety in Israel, citing the terror threat as a primary component of his decision to move to Israel.

We made Aliyah in response to 9-11,he said. "When 9-11 happened, that is when I knew it was time to move to Israel. God was sending me a message.Exactly one year to the day after the largest terror attack in U.S. history, Kligman and his wife welcomed the birth of a baby boy, Moshe Shlomo. "We heard God's message in 2001, and He rewarded us in 2002. Two additional immigrant flights are arriving from France next week, and a third European flight is departing Great Britain in August. The flights are coordinated in conjunction with the Jewish Agency for Israel, a non-governmental agency focused on bringing Jews to live in Israel from around the world, on behalf of the state. Bringing one million additional Jews to Israel was one of former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's primary stated goals. Shlomo Riskin, rabbi of Israel's Efrata community, made Aliyah from the U.S. 20 years ago. His community has been a popular landing ground for many Americans, including several on yesterday's flight who have left the comforts of America for a new home in Israel.

During the welcome ceremony, Riskin told the new immigrants, If Israel was Disneyland, we would come for fun, in the sun. But this is the motherland, and we will come when our mother needs us. Riskin added, "Israel is the safest place in the world for Jews.
