Introduction:

Birchas HaMazon -- The Blessing for Food -- is actually a series of blessings which we say after eating bread or a meal with bread. Through the Birchas Hamazon, we acknowledge that HaShem -- the Compassionate and Life-Giving One -- is the Source of our nourishment and all related blessings.

Dear Friends,

Our appreciation for the Divine nurturing of all creatures is expressed in the opening blessing of Birchas HaMazon:Blessed are You, HaShem, our God, Sovereign of the universe, Who nourishes the entire world with goodness -- with grace, loving kindness, and compassion. He gives nourishment to all flesh, for His loving kindness is eternal. And through His great goodness, we have never lacked, and may we never lack nourishment for all eternity, for the sake of His great Name. For He is God Who nourishes and sustains all, and benefits all, and He prepares food for all of His creatures that He has created. Blessed are You, HaShem, Who nourishes all.

The Talmud states in the name of Rabbi Nachman that the above blessing was composed by Moshe Rebbeinu -- Moses, our Teacher -- in gratitude for the manna with which the Nurturing One sustained Israel in the desert [Babylonian Talmud/Tractate Brochos 48b].

The universal language of this blessing seems to indicate that Moshe understood the Divine gift of manna to the People of Israel as a manifestation of the Divine love and concern for all life.

Therefore, Moshe praises HaShem as the One Who nourishes all!
Shabbat Shalom and Chag Sameach from Yerushaliyim,

In addition to bread, special items such as wine, the seven species of produce for which the Land of Israel is praised, and certain grains have their own specific blessing of thanksgiving which is said after eating. For other foods and beverages, there is the following general blessing after eating, where we express our appreciation for the nurturing of all creatures:Blessed are You, HaShem, our God, Sovereign of the universe, Who creates numerous living things and their needs; for all that You have created with which to maintain the life of every being. Blessed is the One Who is the life of the worlds.

4.7 quake rocks Reno as area's seismic activity continues By SCOTT SONNER, Associated Press Writer APR 26,08

RENO, Nev. - Another earthquake struck the Reno area, dumping cans off shelves, knocking pictures off walls and sending rocks off hillsides of the eastern front of the Sierra Nevada. There were no immediate reports early Saturday of injuries or major property damage from the quake late Friday.The U.S. Geological Survey reported the 4.7 magnitude temblor hit at 11:40 p.m. and was centered six miles west of Reno near Mogul, where a swarm of more than 100 quakes rattled the area on Thursday. The biggest of those was a 4.2 event.A 3.5 aftershock followed at 12:29 a.m. Saturday, followed by at least 30 smaller ones, the USGS said.The initial quake was felt 30 miles north in Portola, Calif., and at least 45 miles south near Stateline, Nev., on Lake Tahoe's south shore.

The temblor cracked walls in northwest Reno, broke lawn watering lines and damaged a wooden flume built along the Truckee River in the late 1800s to carry lumber from Lake Tahoe down the mountain to Reno. Emergency crews responded to the flume break near Mogul but there were no immediate reports of flooding.It was the strongest quake to shake the city since hundreds of much smaller events have been recorded in the area since the end of February.Jars of mayonnaise, bottles of ketchup and shampoo fell from shelves at a Wal-Mart store in northwest Reno. It caused the overhead televisions to sway at a sports bar in neighboring Sparks, 11 miles east, where bartender Shawn Jones said the rumble was significantly stronger than Thursday's event.The bottles were shaking so I sent everybody outside, he said.Shirley Dippel of Sparks said the quake pushed her bed against the wall.That's the best one I've felt so far, and I've been here 44 years, Dippel told the Reno Gazette-Journal.High school senior Alex Hill said it was scary.It is one of those things you know that happens, he said, but you never imagine it happening in your area.Scientists said earlier Friday that Reno faces a small increase in the chance of a major earthquake in the aftermath of the seismic activity.The persistence of this particular earthquake sequence slightly increases the probability for a significant earthquake in west Reno, said a statement from the Nevada Seismological Laboratory at the University of Nevada, Reno.However, the occurrence of additional earthquake activity in the Mogul area cannot be predicted or forecast, it added.On the Net: U.S. Geological Survey: http://www.usgs.gov .University of Nevada, Reno, seismology lab: http://www.seismo.unr.educ.

A stormy weekend Wayne Verno Sat Apr 26, 6:13 AM ET

A potent spring storm system brought heavy snow, strong gusty winds, and blizzard conditions to parts of the northern Plains and Upper Midwest yesterday. As much as 10 to 15 inches of snow fell in parts of South Dakota with drifts reported several feet high. This same storm system also resulted in over 160 reports of severe weather, from the Great Lakes, to south Texas. This included numerous reports of hail, with baseball to softball sized hail reported in Texas and Wisconsin. Today this storm system will move north of the Great Lakes, allowing the Upper Midwest snow to taper off, while pushing a cold front eastward bringing showers and thunderstorms to the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast. A few of these storms over the Mid-Atlantic could be severe, with large hail and damaging winds the primary risk. Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms cannot be ruled out across the South as well. Both areas will have the risk for heavy downpours that could bring some localized flash flooding. Meanwhile, a new storm system organizing over West Texas tonight will bring a few severe thunderstorms across west and north central Texas. Large hail, damaging winds, and isolated tornadoes will be possible. The threat for a few severe thunderstorms will spread into the Lower Mississippi River Valley on Sunday, as the storm system moves east. Flash flood producing rains will also be possible, from the Southern Plains tonight, into the Lower Mississippi valley on Sunday.

Flooding fear prompts evacuation of northern Ontario reserve Fri Apr 25, 7:24 PM

Officials began evacuating hundreds of Kashechewan residents from their homes on Friday over fears an ice jam could cause flooding in the low-lying northern Ontario reserve.Officials in the James Bay-area community say they are worried about the state of the Albany River, which is experiencing its highest recorded levels.About 245 people were expected to be moved to Cochrane throughout Friday. Another 180 are expected to be evacuated from their homes on Saturday.Those removed from their homes in the flood-prone reserve included the most vulnerable, such as infants, elderly and those with disabilities, officials said.Ontario's Natural Resources officials said aircraft have been secured to complete the evacuation.NDP MP Charlie Angus, whose riding includes the area, said local officials are monitoring ice jams about 20 kilometres up the river from the Cree First Nations community of about 1,800 people.Officials said they'll be monitoring the ice throughout the weekend.Since 2004, Ottawa has spent millions of dollars to move residents out of the remote Kashechewan community on two occasions due to severe spring flooding. Also, in 2005, residents were forced to leave their homes when the reserve's drinking water was found to contain high levels of E. coli.A report by Alan Pope, special adviser to the federal Indian Affairs minister, recommended the embattled community be relocated to the outskirts of Timmins, the closest urban centre at 400 kilometres to the south.But residents favoured a relocation to higher ground within their territory. A government deal in 2007, however, nixed any plans for relocation when the Indian Affairs department signed a $200-million deal with the community's chief to rebuild and redevelop the reserve.

The Nation's Weather By WEATHER UNDERGROUND, For The Associated Press Sat Apr 26, 7:29 AM ET

An intense storm was expected to continue moving through the Great Lakes and into eastern Canada on Saturday. Significant snow was expected to fall through the Upper Midwest, and winter storm warnings were in effect for much of Minnesota in anticipation of upwards of 12 inches of new snow. Meanwhile, areas of heavy rain and thunderstorms were expected through the Great Lakes.The Mississippi Valley was also to receive moderate rain and thunderstorms.Severe weather including tornadoes was possible from the Gulf Coast through the Ohio Valley.Areas of snow and rain were to continue to fall in the Northern Rockies.Heavy rain and thunderstorms were expected in Texas late in the day and into Sunday.The Northeast was to rise into the 60s and 70s, while the Southeast was to see temperatures in the 70s and 80s. The Southern Plains was to be in the 80s and 90s, while in the Northern Plains temperatures were expected to be in the 30s and 40s. The Northwest was to rise into the 60s and 70s, and the Southwest was to see temperatures in the 80s and 90s.Temperatures in the Lower 48 states Friday ranged from a low of 6 degrees at Lake Yellowstone, Wyo., to a high of 96 degrees at Yuma, Ariz.On the Net:Weather Underground: http://www.wunderground.com.National Weather Service: http://iwin.nws.noaa.gov.Intellicast: http://www.intellicast.com

9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood:(bitter,Poisoned) and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.(poisoned)

4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
6 For they(False World Church and Dictator) have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.

Narwhals more at risk to Arctic warming than polar bears By SETH BORENSTEIN, AP Science Writer Fri Apr 25, 2:35 PM ET

WASHINGTON - The polar bear has become an icon of global warming vulnerability, but a new study found an Arctic mammal that may be even more at risk to climate change: the narwhal. The narwhal, a whale with a long spiral tusk that inspired the myth of the unicorn, edged out the polar bear for the ranking of most potentially vulnerable in a climate change risk analysis of Arctic marine mammals.The study was published this week in the peer-reviewed journal Ecological Applications. Polar bears are considered marine mammals because they are dependent on the water and are included as a species in the U.S. Marine Mammal Protection Act.Scientists from three countries quantified the vulnerabilities that 11 year-round Arctic sea mammals have as the world warms. After the narwhal — which is also known as the corpse whale — and polar bear, the most at risk were the hooded seal, bowhead whale and walrus. The ringed seal and bearded seal were least at risk.

What we wanted to do was look at the whole picture because there's been a lot of attention on polar bears, said study co-author Ian Stirling, a polar bear and seal specialist for the Canadian government. We're talking about a whole ecosystem. We're talking about several different species that use ice extensively and are very vulnerable.The study looked at nine different variables that help determine ability to withstand future climate changes. Those factors included population size, habitat uniqueness, diet diversity and ability to cope with sea ice changes.This doesn't mean the narwhal — with a current population of 50,000 to 80,000 — will die off first; polar bear counts are closer to 20,000 and they are directly harmed by melting ice, scientists said.But it does mean the potential for harm is slightly greater for the less-studied narwhal, said study lead author Kristin Laidre, a research scientist at the University of Washington.Stanford University biologist Terry Root, who wasn't part of the study, said the analysis reinforces her concern that the narwhal is going to be one of the first to go extinct from global warming despite their population size.There could a bazillion of them, but if the habitat or the things that they need are not going to be around, they're not going to make it, Root said.Polar bears can adapt a bit to the changing Arctic climate, narwhals can't, she said.While polar bears are good-looking fluffy white creatures, Laidre said narwhals, which are medium-sized whales, are not that cute.

The narwhal, which dives about 6,000 feet to feed on Greenland halibut, is the ultimate specialist, evolved specifically to live in small cracks in parts of the Arctic where it's 99 percent heavy ice, Laidre said. As the ice melts, not only is the narwhal habitat changed, predators such as killer whales will likely intrude more often.Since it's so restricted to the migration routes it takes, it's restricted to what it eats, it makes it more vulnerable to the loss of those things, Laidre said in a telephone interview from Greenland, where she is studying narwhals by airplane.The paper is the talk of Arctic scientists said Bob Corell, the head of an international team of scientists who wrote a massive assessment of risk in the Arctic in 2004 but wasn't part of this study. He called it surprising because the polar bear gets a lot of attention.Inuit natives of Greenland were telling scientists last year that it seemed that the narwhal population was in trouble, Corell said.

Denmark tenth country to sign off on Lisbon Treaty
24.04.2008 - 17:45 CET | By Elitsa Vucheva

Both Denmark and the lower house of Germany's parliament on Thursday (24 April) ratified the EU's new treaty, just a day after Portugal approved the document.The Danish parliament passed the document with 90 votes in favour and 25 against, although 64 deputies from the 179-seat parliament were absent.The same political majority rejected a proposal to secure labour rights via a protocol attached to the treaty.Eurosceptic MPs were the only ones to vote against the document aimed at improving the EU's decision-making process and making the 27-nation bloc more efficient.European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso welcomed the Danish ratification, underlining that the treaty provides for a more effective, democratic, accountable and stronger Union externally.Denmark is the tenth EU country to ratify the Lisbon Treaty.Prior to Copenhagen, Portugal's parliament also ratified the document on Wednesday by 208 votes to 21, and received Mr Barroso's congratulations for the large majority ... showing the unequivocal Portuguese support for the European project.

Ratification by the German Bundestag
Meawhile, Germany's lower house of parliament, the Bundestag, passed the document with 515 votes in favour, 58 against, and one abstention.Addressing parliamentarians ahead of the vote, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said the treaty would be both good for Europe and a win for Germany, Deutsche Welle reports.Ms Merkel played an important role in getting all EU leaders to agree on the draft text of the document during Germany's presidency of the EU last year.The Left party – Die Linke - was the only one opposing the treaty, with its leader, Lothar Bisky, saying it was created in the spirit of neoliberalism.The Lisbon treaty is now to be voted upon by the country's upper house, the Bundesrat, on 23 May.So far, Hungary, Malta, Slovenia, Romania, France, Bulgaria, Poland, Slovakia, Portugal and Denmark have ratified the treaty which replaced the failed European Constitution rejected by French and Dutch voters in 2005.Ireland is the only country that will hold a referendum on it, expected on 12 June.Ratification by all countries is meant to be finalised by the end of this year, in order for the treaty to come into force in early 2009.

THE 11TH RATIFICATION IS ON ITS WAY.

Redrawn EU treaty clears early hurdle April 25, 2008 BOSTON GLOBE

GERMANY BERLIN - Lawmakers in the lower house of parliament yesterday overwhelmingly approved a new European Union treaty, which Chancellor Angela Merkel described as providing a new foundation for the bloc. The so-called Lisbon Treaty is expected to easily pass when it goes to the upper house on May 23. It replaces a more ambitious draft constitution rejected by French and Dutch voters in 2005. (AP)

EU Constitution APR 26,08

We birds are beginning to feel great disappointment with the EU and the way that it is handling its constitution. Various statements that have been recently made by EU human politicians gives us the impression that the EU has embarked on a road to less democracy by disrespecting the voice and opinion of the European humans.We shall try to be more concrete. The Valery Giscard d'Estaing man, a former French president who chaired the convention that drafted the constitution said that the new plan was to camouflage the big changes that his constitution had tried to set out openly. Public opinion, he said, will be led to accept, without realizing, provisions that nobody would dare to present directly. This is familiar...The EU Constitution has 27,000 of pages, whereby direct order had been issued by the EUlites that this vast book could not be simplified to, lets say to 500 pages, so someone would read it. The EU constitution has 27,000 pages tied to 330,000 laws, sub-laws and references. For each line you read in 27,000 pages, you need to cross check it with a reference which then you would check with another reference, which essentially makes it impossible to read for anyone, just like the EU wants it. Someone should have raised their eyebrows when the order came strictly banning any creation of a book that would explain the EU Constitution in shorter form!?

Amato, Italy's interior minister, hailed the way it had been given an unreadable new form, full of cross-references and footnotes. This was done, according to Amato, to help governments that were struggling to avoid referendums. Now, said Amato, a British minister could say: Look you see it is absolutely unreadable, it's a typical Brussels treaty, nothing new, no need for a referendum. Finally, a few weeks ago, Dehaene, a former Belgian prime minister, in an interview with Le Soir declared it dangerous talk to want too much transparency and clarity in the EU. We were shocked hearing these statements from leading European politicians. Instead of providing a clear and understandable constitution and going to the effort of explaining it to their citizens, now they have created an unreadable and incomprehensible monster, with the objective of deceiving their citizens. Shame on them. We do not think that they will get away with it since many citizens will reject a text that they cannot understand. They will also vote down any government that attempts to deceive them. But even if it were to be accepted, then the EU would put itself in the predicament of having serious problems in implementing an unreadable text. We birds would consequently suggest to the European human leaders to stop being undemocratic and disrespectful to their voters and return to transparency and democracy and also make that special effort to explain to their humans the benefits they will get from the new constitution. We think that they will listen. Otherwise, undemocratic methods will only lead to the weakening if not the dissolution of the EU.

The biggest threat to the EU Constitution is Ireland. It was Irish politicians who discovered the nonsense document the EU had served them with. Apparently, the Irish tried to read it. After they complained, the EU, in attempt to fool them again, had presented another document, except in this one, 75 pages were missing. To compensate for it, the font was increased accross. They were caught once again. Smart Irish! Ireland is the only country, in Europe, to challenge this disaster called constitution (had been prepared in the early 70's) that will affect every European. England has ignored the wishes of its citizens, telling them there is nothing to worry, however English businessman Stuart Wheeler is challenging this in the High Court.

What is the EU Constitution:

There isn't a way to explain the type of disaster the EU constitution is, but I will give just a very simplistic example.

example: You live in Athens, travel to Rome and get a parking ticket there. You don't pay for the ticket in Rome. Next year you visit London and get pulled over there. You will get arrested on a violation for your parking ticket in Rome and will be jailed in London. One big enslaved happy family.For the Macedonian readers, you can only hope to be that lucky and not be part of the EU. Unfortunatelly, the EU will swallow you as well, because that's what they do. If the Irish dont falter, there is increasing evidence the EU is offering its soul and billions for a yes vote. The Irish could save Ireland, as well as Europe. N.R.

Egyptian president wants to boost economic ties, Mediterranean Union The Associated PressPublished: April 22, 2008

PARIS: Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak urged French business leaders to boost their investment and trade partnerships with Egypt, saying Tuesday that tighter economic ties would energize the plan for a Mediterranean Union that France is pushing for.France is on track to become Egypt's No. 1 foreign investor this year with €12 billion (US$19 billion) placed in the Middle Eastern country so far this year, according to French government figures.

Mubarak urged even more.

Do the commercial ties between Egypt and France really match our historic, political and cultural ties? Mubarak said in a speech at the French employers' federation, MEDEF.France was the No. 4 investor in Egypt in 2007, with €3 billion in investments, behind the U.S., Britain and the United Arab Emirates. But then French cement group Lafarge bought Egyptian construction company Orascom Cement this year for €8.8 billion.

Today in Europe

Photo exhibit shows Paris under Nazi occupation, minus the miseryPutting pollution on grocery billsGeorgia steps up its push for NATO membership .French exports to Egypt fell by nearly 10 percent in 2007, while imports from Egypt dropped by nearly 20 percent.Mubarak vaunted Egypt's ongoing reforms to liberalize its economy, which grew more than 7 percent last year, and called on French businesses to view Egypt as the main gate to Mideast and African markets.Increased trade between the two countries would also enhance French plans for an association between Europe and nations south of the Mediterranean, said Mubarak, who is on a two-day visit to Paris.President Nicolas Sarkozy sees the Mediterranean Union as a plan to link southern European countries to the mainly Muslim nations to the south and southeast of Europe.Sarkozy and Mubarak discussed the union plan as well as Middle East issues, including Iran, Lebanon and tensions between Israelis and Palestinians, during a working dinner Tuesday, diplomatic officials said.

Jean-David Levitte, Sarkozy's top diplomatic adviser, told reporters France would favor putting the eventual headquarters of the union on the south side of the Mediterranean — and suggested Mubarak might make an excellent co-president of the body.The union is supposed be launched at a summit in Paris in July. Getting it running would be the highlight of France's turn as EU president in the second half of this year.Sarkozy hopes it will help build political ties and tackle issues such as trade, migration and security.Laurence Parisot, the director of MEDEF, told Mubarak that the recent hunger riots in Egypt underlined the extreme urgency of enhanced economic cooperation between wealthy and developing nations.Mubarak meets Sarkozy later Tuesday for a working dinner to discuss the union and regional issues.Associated Press Writer Laurent Pirot contributed to this report.

The CARMEL ALERT April 25th 2008 A compilation of news reports from the past week for the information of those committed to praying for Israel and the salvation of the Jewish people.Guest Comment: Duplicity in Occupied Lands- Steven Shamrak-(IsraelNN )

There are many lands around the world that were 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 the 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 independence was declared.
* Russia has no plans to return the eastern part of Poland it has occupied since before World War II, nor to 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 the Czar.
* 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 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 the USA, the 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 one of the only countries that can rightly claim its statehood and ownership of the land. Jewish people have over 3,000 years of spiritual and historical connection with the land of Israel.

Israel withdrew from the Sinai Peninsula after it was conquered during a defensive war. In exchange, Israel received a worthless piece of paper, which is called the Peace Agreement with Egypt. And still, Israel is the only country under international pressure to surrender her own land to her 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 makes sense is that the world's economic and political powers (the 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 the puppet masters' economic and political interests, with complete disregard for the historical, spiritual and even legal rights of any people, not just Jews (remember the ongoing dismantling of Yugoslavia and the non-existence of Kurdistan, homeland of 35 million Kurds, divided and occupied by five countries). A multitude of international organizations - including the United Nations, the International Red Cross, Amnesty International, etc. - are at the 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 is that it is all about power, control and money. ( and Satan's desparation to prevent the 2nd coming of Messiah - David )

Just to press the point, I received this recently - I am not sure if its true, or just some truth based humor ...........

An ingenious example of speech and politics occurred recently at the U.N. and made the world community smile: A representative from Israel began-Before beginning my talk I want to tell you something about Moses. When he struck the rock and it brought forth water, he thought, What a good opportunity to have a bath! He removed his clothes, put them aside on the rock and entered the water. When he got out and wanted to dress, his clothes had vanished. A Palestinian had stolen them.

The Palestinian representative jumped up furiously and shouted, What are you talking about? The Palestinians weren't there back then.

The Israeli representative smiled and said And now that I have made that clear, I will begin my speech.

The Lord bless you as you bless Israel by standing in defense of her right to exist on the land given to the Jewish people by the God of Israel . Lets pray that Israel will turn back to their God. Do not be silent, but share this with your fellow Christians, share it with your pastors, and with anyone you have a chance to speak to. Lets also pray for that breakthrough to the Muslims, and please remember to pray for our son Jordan, and all of his fellow soldiers in the IDF.

Shabbat Shalom ... David & Josie

Arab League warns of humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza APR 28,08

CAIRO (AFP) - The Arab League on Saturday warned of anunprecedented humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip after the United Nations was forced to suspend aid deliveries because of Israeli restrictions. The 22-member body expressed its grave concern at the deteriorating humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip after the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) was forced to stop delivering aid, Hisham Yussef, Arab League Secretary General Amr Mussa's chief of staff, said in a statement.These circumstances, as well as the Israeli armed forces' continued military action against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, will lead to an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe for which the Israeli government will have to bear responsibility, Yussef said.He said the Israeli blockade on Gaza, as well as military operations and the halting of fuel supplies to the impoverished territory, is unacceptable and silence over the issue cannot continue.Yussef urged international bodies including the United Nations and the European Union to exert pressure on Israel to accept its responsibility in applying interntional law.The United Nations stopped distributing aid to the Gaza Strip on Thursday after running out of fuel as the Israeli terminal that supplies the besieged Palestinian territory remained shut.Humanitarian agencies say Gaza, one of the world's most densely populated territories with 1.5 million people living on a narrow sliver of land, is on the brink of disaster.

PUBLIC ENEMY NUMBER ONE BY JACK VAN IMPE APR 26,08

Crime is a national scandal.

Every thinking American is concerned about crime. Millions are afraid to be on the streets in their own communities after dark. In official recognition of the problem in 1968, Congress passed the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act, a high impact program that poured millions of dollars into major cities to fight crime. Within a few years, the program was called a flop.

Money did not buy safety . Crime marches on.

It is difficult to escape the thought of a possible encounter with a criminal. Every branch of the media keeps us aware of crime's danger. Television watchers start the day with some kind of early morning news report that describes all the violence and thievery that took place the night before. Lunch is seasoned with the noon news, and the dinner hour is treated to a full color reenactment of the crime and terror going on in the world. Viewers are then given an almost steady diet of detective shows and police shootouts until the late news, when they are offered one last opportunity before retiring to get in on the murder and mayhem that somehow might have been missed in the course of the day. It is no wonder that sleeping pills and antacids sell well. 1

If you think crime is being over covered by writers and reporters, read what former Attorney General Ramsey Clark writes in his book Crime in America.

Most crime is never reported to police, and much crime is inaccurately reported. Erroneous crime statistics are often used to create the impression that the new chief is doing a good job or to support a movement to add more police. Frequently an apparent increase in crime really reflects an improved effectiveness in law enforcement or in the reporting of crime itself.

The better the police, the more they learn of crimes that are actually committed. Today, some cities suffering far more crime than others take false comfort from lower rates of reported crime because of weaker police departments.

Wherever crime is not reported we know the police are not effective, trusted , or respected . Too many people there would rather suffer crime in silence than report it. It is a bother, useless, gets you involved-or even worse, in trouble yourself.2

The crime we know about, then, is but the tip of the iceberg. This fact presents an alarming scenario for the future .

Social scientists and criminologists seem baffled by the continued avalanche of crime. Their solutions fail or are only mildly successful.

In his book Thinking About Crime, James Wilson questions present theories about crime's causes.

The Social Science View of crime is thought by many, especially its critics. To assert that crime is the result of poverty, racial discrimination. and other privations, and that the only morally defensible and substantively efficacious strategy for reducing crime is to attack its root causes with programs that end poverty, reduce discrimination, and meliorate privation...

Such a theory, if it is generally held by Social Scientists professionally concerned with crime, ought to be subjected to the closest scrutiny, because what it implies about the nature of man and society are of fundamental significance. Scholars would bear a grave responsibility if, by their theoretical and empirical work, they had supplied public policy with the assumption that men are driven primarily by the objective conditions in which they find themselves. Such a view might be correct, but it would first have to be reconciled with certain obvious objections-for example, that the crime rate in this country is higher than that in many other countries despite the fact that the material wellbeing of even the lowest stratum of our population is substantially greater than that of a comparable stratum in countries with much lower crime rates, or that crime rates have increased greatly during the very period (1963 to 1970) when there were great advances made in the income, schooling, and housing of almost all segments of society.3

Students of the Bible are not surprised when solutions to moral and social problems based entirely on environmental conditions fail. The problem lies deeper. We are socially and morally in trouble because of man's sinful nature. The psalmist David capsulated the root cause of all of the problems of the human race,

Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me (Ps. 51 :5) .

Paul's inspired observation in his letter to the Romans reads like a summary of all the newspaper and radio and TV news reports ever given.

Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:

Their feet are swift to shed blood: Destruction and misery are in their ways: And the way of peace have they not known: There is no fear of God before their eyes. Now we know that what things so ever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God (Rom. 3:13--19).

Martin Luther said:

Sin is so deep and horrible a corruption of nature that no reason can comprehend it , but upon the authority of the Scriptures, it must be believed. The original sin is not like all other sins which are committed. The original sin is. It is the root of all sin.4

Jesus said:

For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications , thefts, false witness, blasphemies (Matt. 15:19).

Paul explained how the sinful nature of man is manifested in day-to-day living.

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication , uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft , hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like (Gal. 5: 1921).

Man, then, is capable of doing terrible things.

Within him lies the potential of all kinds of crime and violence. The headlines in the daily newspaper and the violence on the evening news are but evidences of what lies within him.

If that is true, why are not all men criminals? Because of certain influences in life that restrain us.

Augustine wrote, We are capable of every sin we have seen our neighbor commit unless God's grace restrains us.5

Christians are a restraining influence on the world.

Believers are not all they ought to be, but the world is better because they are here. Jesus referred to His own as the light of the world and the salt of the earth. Those who belong to Christ and are totally committed to Him have a restraining influence on evil, and their presence in the world promotes a higher moral standard among all people whose lives are touched by them. Speaking prophetically, that is why we believe the Antichrist cannot come to power until the church is taken out of the world at our Lord's return.

The Holy Spirit, working through the church, holds back the tide of evil.

For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth [hinders] will let [hinder], until he be taken out of the way . And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved (2 Thessalonians. 2:7-10).

A nation is law-abiding to the extent that its Christian heritage is strong. A revival of a past generation may not continue to fill the churches and produce genuine Christian joy, but some of the influence of that revival may linger: respect for the Bible, an awareness of biblical standards of righteousness, traditions rooted in a more spiritual time, a form of government founded upon biblical principles.

The restraints of home and family have kept many from crime and violence. A husband may restrict his desires because of a deep love for his wife. A wife may overcome temptation to do wrong because of admiration and respect for her husband. Children may refuse to go along in some of their friends' escapades for fear of hurting their parents, whom they love .

Fear of punishment for law-breaking may loom large, deterring the tempted from antisocial behavior.

All these restraints work to hold evil in check and to give society stability. They help keep the lid on crime and immorality. They do not do away with man's potential to sin, but they help to hold him in check, and in this function these restraints are beneficial to all.

Alcohol removes restraints.

The same characteristic of alcohol that allows a drinker to relax at a party eats away at the forces that restrain him from doing wrong. The sections of his brain that are being paralyzed by alcohol, eliminating some of his fears, are the same thinking centers that keep the lion within him caged.

With the entrance of alcohol, the walls fall down.

When it penetrates the brain, it lulls the sentries to sleep, allowing man's sinful nature to show itself in behavior.

The defenders of beverage alcohol argue that drinking does not make people commit crimes. They insist that the lawbreaker had crime on his mind or he would not have committed it while under the influence of alcohol.

We could not agree more.

All people have a natural bent to sin. However, God-ordained restraining fences often prohibit the tempted one from carrying out the act. When alcohol removes the restraints, the act is committed. And people suffer. Had alcohol not been used, the crime might never have taken place, and society would have benefited.

Driving down the highway, one might have the urge to swerve from side to side or accelerate to a high speed. Laws act as restraints against such irresponsible driving. But if alcohol is traveling with the driver, toppling the protective walls, he may swerve or accelerate to a dangerous speed and injure or kill himself and others.

One may want to punch another in the nose because of some old grievance , but his better judgment and the fear of prosecution keep him under control. A few drinks can prompt the long-awaited punch, resulting in personal injury, shame, and expense. (Of course, it is also wrong to hold a grievance against someone even if you never take revenge.)

A person under severe financial pressure may be tempted to steal. Restraints may keep him a law-abiding citizen, but enter the beloved enemy and the forces that have held the pressured person steady are nullified. The crime is committed, and legal woes are likely to be added to the already burdened individual.

Along with alcohol's power to remove inhibitions, then, comes its unwanted effect of uncovering and releasing the evil in man. And the results are felt by the entire community. Dr . E. M. Jellinek, formerly of Yale University, wrote:

The death rate, crime rate ,or accident rate in a given community varies according to the average alcohol consumption; and when alcohol [use] decreases so do the death, crime, and accident rates. Relaxation of restrictions on alcohol is followed by a rise in commitments to asylums, hospitalizations, and delinquency,6

But what is alcohol's involvement in crime?

The Bureau of Justice Statistics of the U.S. Department of Justice says:

About 1 million violent crimes occurred in 2002 in which victims perceived the offender to have been drinking at the time of the offense. Among those victims who provided information about the offender's use of alcohol, about 30% of the victimizations involved an offender who had been drinking.

Two-thirds of victims who suffered violence by an intimate (a current or former spouse, boyfriend, or girlfriend) reported that alcohol had been a factor. Among spouse victims, 3 out of 4 incidents were reported to have involved an offender who had been drinking. By contrast, an estimated 31% of stranger victimizations where the victim could determine the absence or presence of alcohol were perceived to be alcohol-related.

For about 1 in 5 violent victimizations involving perceived alcohol use by the offender, victims also reported they believed the offender to have been using drugs as well.7

How does this translate into human loss?

Who can measure the amount of grief felt by victims and their families?

And what will we learn from this information?

If past experience is a guide, criminologists and politicians will explore every avenue of combating crime except the one that could make a difference.

New studies will be made. More prisons will be constructed. More police officers will be hired. More judges will be installed. More citizens' groups will be formed.

And the enemy will be untouched.

Why? Because too many of the policymakers share the love affair with alcohol and are unwilling to touch their beloved.

To try to fight crime without facing the alcohol issue is to work blindfolded. Even if we had the most ideal system of corrections, we could not stop crime's onslaught because of alcohol's devastating effects. If we had the most stringent sentencing coupled with perfect police work and flawless penology, the best we could do would be to deal with a fraction of the total crime problem, if the issue of alcohol remained unchecked.

Most crime would keep surging on year after year.

But could our nation survive the financial impact of a meaningful drop in the liquor business?

What would happen to our economy?

How would the government continue to operate without liquor revenues?

Wouldn't taxes have to be increased?

Doesn't alcohol pay its way?

Russian threat violates international law: Georgia Sat Apr 26, 8:24 AM ET

TBILISI (Reuters) - Russia's warning that it could use military force in Georgia's breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia is a breach of international law, Georgia said on Saturday. And Russian Foreign Ministry envoy said on Friday that Russia might have to use military means to protect compatriots in the regions if they were attacked.The statement about the possible use of force against Georgia in Abkhazia and South Ossetia on the part of Russia is a violation of all international legal acts and agreements, Georgia's Foreign Ministry said in a statement.The Russian side is taking aggressive actions, it said.Russia's ties with Georgia have been strained for more than a decade by Moscow's support of the two separatist regions, which threw off Georgian rule after wars in the 1990s.Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili says he wants to bring the regions back under Tbilisi's control.Moscow said this month it was deepening ties with the two regions, where most of the population have been issued with Russian passports.Russia is trying to justify their criminal activities in relation to the Georgian separatist regions by saying they protect Russian citizens there, the Georgian ministry said.However the actions of Russia contradict the fundamental obligations which derive from the European Convention of Human Rights, it said.

Russia and Georgia are engaged in a war of words over the downing of a Georgian spy drone over Georgia's breakaway region of Abkhazia, a stretch of land run by pro-Moscow separatists on the Black Sea coast.Georgia said a Russian jet shot down the drone in a deliberate act of international aggression. Russia says Abkhaz separatists downed the unmanned aircraft and that the flight itself was a breach of international agreements.(Reporting by Margarita Antidze, writing by Amie Ferris-Rotman; Editing by Janet Lawrence)
