1. THE SPIRITUAL ROAD MAP TO MIDDLE EAST PEACE
By Chris Mitchell - Middle East Bureau Chief - The Christian =
Broadcasting Network=20
The Road Map sets up a current day drama between the ancient =
covenants and modern day diplomacy.=20
On April 30th of this year, The Quartet: the United States, the =
European Union, the United Nations and Russia, introduced a diplomatic =
plan to solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. They called it the "Road =
Map." But many believing Jews and Christians are raising serious =
objections to the road map =97 objections based on the Bible. After =
Saddam Hussein was ousted from power in Iraq last spring, President Bush =
turned his foreign policy attention to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict =
and endorsed the two-state solution of the Road Map.=20
This summer, the Road Map virtually imploded under the weight of =
more deadly suicide bombings, the resignation of Prime Minister Mahmoud =
Abbas, and Yasser Arafat's refusal to give up power. Still, just three =
weeks ago, the President said he stands by his plan for a two-state =
solution.=20
"I still believe strongly that two states living side by side in =
peace is a hopeful vision for the Middle East. The Road Map is still =
there. The fundamental question is whether or not people, peaceful =
people, will be on that road," Bush said on September 10.=20
But Stan Goodenough, editor of an internet news service called =
"Jerusalem NewsWire," said, "The Madrid Conference, Oslo 1, Oslo 2 and =
the Road Map. It's all the same thing =97 it's a land for peace =
process."=20
Goodenough reported from the 1991 Madrid Peace Conference when the =
first President Bush and Secretary of State James Baker initially =
promoted the concept of "land for peace."=20
"Madrid was the first =91land for peace=92 conference. But Israel =
was expected to give not just any part of its land, but actually the =
core of the Biblical land of Israel, the places where, for example, =
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are buried, where Joseph's mother Rachel died, =
where Joseph himself was buried, where Abraham built all his altars to =
the Lord," Goodenough explained. "All these parts of the land of Israel =
that are actually central to the Jewish worldview, to the Jewish faith, =
actually to give it up means actually to cut themselves off from part of =
their history."=20
The land Israel is expected to give up in the Road Map for a =
future Palestinian state is known around the world as the West Bank. But =
in the Bible, the land is called Judea and Samaria and contains most of =
the Bible's most important landmarks like Hebron, Bethlehem, Beth El and =
Shiloh.=20
CBN News visited Shiloh, the place where Joshua set up his capital =
and divided the land between the twelve tribes of Israel. This is the =
place where Hannah prayed to the Lord for a son, and within these walls, =
Samuel ministered. It is also the place where the Ark of the Covenant =
resided for 369 years.=20
"Shiloh is the spiritual, geographic and political heartland. It's =
the heart of the land of Israel," said David Rubin, a spokeman for the =
Jewish community of Shiloh in the heart of Samaria. He believes the =
biblical implications of today's Road Map are clear.=20
"The only Road Map, legitimate Road Map is a Road Map of Abraham, =
Isaac and Jacob," he said. "If we look at that hill and the road going =
north from here, that is =91the Road of the Patriarchs. The Road of the =
Patriarchs is the path that the Patriarchs took when they were =
travelling the land of Israel=85 So you're talking about the biblical =
heartland here. And anyone who talks about giving up the Biblical =
heartland is going against the Bible. Is going against God's Word. I =
can't put it any clearer than that."=20
Tom Hess, author of God's Abrahamic Covenants with Israel, said, =
"These are the very places where God made covenant with Abraham and =
promised the land to the Jewish people."=20
Hess says these covenants are vital to understand current events. =
"To understand the Middle East and God's prophetic purposes for the =
Middle East, we have to understand the covenants God made with Abraham =
and the altars that Abraham built with God and made covenant with him, =
or we will never understand the Middle East from God's perspective," he =
said.=20
Abraham built those altars throughout the land of Israel. He built =
one near here in Bethel. This is where Jacob saw the ladder going up to =
heaven in a dream, when God promised the land to him and his =
descendants. If the Road Map is implemented, much of this land might =
become part of a Palestinian state. But according to the Bible, this =
land has a very specific purpose.=20
Hess believes today=92s diplomatic efforts contradict the Bible. =
"They're saying if they divide up the land of Israel and establish a =
Palestinian state, that this will bring peace. But the Bible says in the =
book of Joel, it says that God will bring judgment against those who =
divide up the land of Israel," he said.=20
Yet Hess says the covenants also hold a blessing for the =
Palestinians. "The Palestinians will find blessings coming to them like =
they can not imagine if the God of Israel=85 if they embrace the Jewish =
people and if they bless them and if they stop violence and start =
blessing," Hess said.=20
Goodenough said, "My understanding of God's Word is that He is =
restoring the Jewish people to this Land, to the entire Land of Israel =
and very specifically, according to the Prophet Ezekiel to the =
'so-called' occupied territories=85 That He is restoring them here in a =
physical sense, bringing them from the four corners of the earth to this =
Land in order to meet with them, in order to have a reunion with them, a =
spiritual reunion."=20
It is a physical restoration that began more than 100 years ago =
and continues today.=20
Ron Nachman is the mayor of Ariel, and he is part of that Jewish =
restoration to the land. Looking out over Ariel, he said, "Today we have =
18,000 people as I told you. The university, on the other side is the =
hotel, and different schools and everything there, and over there is the =
industrial park."=20
Nachman established the city of Ariel 25 years ago with only two =
tents. Now it is the largest Jewish community in Samaria.=20
"I think the prophecy that is mentioned in the Bible that =91I =
will bring the Jewish people from the northern countries=92 =97 it's =
exactly what's happening," Nachman said. "Over 50 percent of the city of =
Ariel, over 9,000 people came from the former Soviet Union. And they =
said in the Bible, =91And they will come and plant vineyards on the =
mountains of Samaria.=92 That's exactly what we are doing, planting =
vineyards in the mountains of Samaria."=20
Goodenough said, "All these =91land for peace=92 processes have =
been trying to reverse the process of this physical restoration. Now if =
the Bible says that the Jews are coming back here, that God is bringing =
them back here, to bring them back to this Land in order to meet with =
them, then in a very real sense the international community and the Word =
of God are on a collision course with each other. And one of them is =
going to give way, and I know in my spirit which one it is. It's not =
going to be the Word of God."=20

2. PONDERING LIFE AFTER ARAFAT
By Matthew Gutman - Jerusalem Post - October 10, 2003=20
One might expect the Sharon government =96 which first dubbed =
Arafat irrelevant, then called for his expulsion, and topped it all off =
by hinting that he should be killed =96 would jump for joy on the rumors =
that Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat is seriously ill.=20
Yet Palestinian and Israeli officials observe that, with Arafat =
apparently on the way out, Israel will have to deal with a more chaotic =
PA in the short run, and the much more frightening "unknown" in the long =
run. Plus, it will have one less peg to hang the blame on for terrorist =
attacks.=20
The Palestinian National Charter carefully maps out Arafat's =
succession. PA Prime Minister Ahmed Qurei is to take over as chairman. =
Mahmoud Abbas is take hold of Fatah and the PLO. Simple, right? Wrong.=20
When Arafat dies "the PLO will die with him," says PLO expert Dr. =
Shmuel Bar of the Institute for Policy and Strategy at the =
Interdisciplinary Center of Herzliya. "Then we can take our pick of =
Balkanization, Lebanonization, or Afghanistanization."=20
Those leaders of Fatah, the main body of the PLO, with grassroots =
support who might have succeeded Arafat, like Salah Khalaf, Israel =
killed long ago, he said. With no leaders in Fatah to pass the scepter =
to "we will witness increasing chaos, and a disintegration of the =
authority known as the PA."=20
Local leaders, whose power will be measured solely by the number =
of AK-47s in their grasp, will rule individual Palestinian cities, =
breeding a new type of tribalism.=20
Current Palestinian polls show Fatah garnering about 30% of =
popular support, with Hamas-Islamic Jihad coming in a close second at =
25-30%. The fragmentation of the corrupt remnants of the Palestinian =
body politic, which flourished under Israel's watch, notes Bar, could =
open the door for Hamas leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin to be wheeled in.=20
A reportedly increasingly paranoid Arafat =96 who has fired his =
cooks for alleged plots to poison him, and who walks around with his =
pistol loaded =96 deliberately built the Palestinian political =
infrastructure to be weak, fearing a war of succession.=20
Even if Fatah stabilizes and holds the Islamists at bay, chaos =
will reign. Israel will be unable to control the roaring tribalism and =
will be forced to defend itself behind the security fence.=20
Israel will also likely be blamed for Arafat's death. Rumors of =
his poisoning, leading to a reportedly nasty "stomach virus," swirled =
through Ramallah. The chairman regularly reminds his aides that Israel =
is slowly trying to poison him to death.=20
The Palestinians are similarly concerned about their future =
leaders. As one source in Ramallah said, "No one is willing to accept =
Abu Mazen [Abbas] as head of the PLO or Fatah. He is very weak there [in =
Fatah]." He added that Qurei also lacks the grassroots support to take =
the reins of the PA.=20
Beside the plights of those known in Israel as "the Abus," Fatah =
is somewhat divided between the Young Guard and the Old Guard.=20
Yet members of the Young Guard =96 who will shed few tears at the =
news of Arafat's eventual death =96 painted the rosiest view of a =
post-Arafat PA. Muhammad Horani, a pro-democracy and pro-transparency =
PLC member, put his feelings as delicately as possible: "Many nations =
have a leader as a symbol, but that which remains is the nation itself. =
The Palestinians will be able to manage without him. We have enough =
leaders left, both social and cultural, not to fall into anarchy."=20
The Young Guard believes it can harness the popularity of West =
Bank and Gaza-born Fatah members, those unstained by corruption =96 to =
win broad support. The basic institutions are there, and the =
Palestinians will likely benefit from greater American support once =
Arafat is out of the way.=20
Members of the Old Guard, Arafat confidants and cronies who enjoy =
little or no grassroots support, fear the loss of the unifying power of =
the Arafat symbol, and, of course, the perks. Without Arafat anchoring =
the more veteran Fatah members shipped to the territories from Tunis, =
their power and influence will bottom out.=20
Regardless of the post-Arafat scenarios, Palestinian legislators =
in Ramallah caution: Never count Arafat out. He has survived plane =
crashes, disease, war, and political upheaval and appears to be =
recuperating "very well for a man his age," said the Ramallah source.=20

3. ONLY THOSE WITH BELIEFS CAN DEFEAT THOSE WITH BELIEFS
By Dennis Prager - WorldNetDaily.com - October 7, 2003=20
As both supporters and opponents of President Bush acknowledge, =
America is largely going it alone in the war against Islamic terror and =
tyranny. Until a month ago =96 yes, one month ago =96 the European Union =
would not even label Hamas a terrorist group.=20
There are many explanations for the lack of support for America in =
this war, a war of civilizations just as much as the wars against =
communism and Nazism were wars of civilizations. But the overriding =
reason is that America has far more believers =96 in religion and in =
their country =96 than any other nation in the industrialized world.=20
Faith in religion and in America also explains much of the =
ideological division within America itself. President Bush, Vice =
President Cheney and Condoleezza Rice are deeply religious, and the vast =
majority of deeply religious Americans support this administration and =
its foreign policy.=20
Of course, some of the president's supporters aren't religious and =
some of his opponents claim to be religious, but these phenomena can be =
also explained by the question of faith. Virtually all the non-religious =
supporters of President Bush's war on the Islamist threat to liberty =
have a deep faith in the United States and in its mission to preserve =
liberty. Religion is by no means the only form faith can take. Fervent =
believers have existed among communists and Nazis. They exist today =
among animal-rights advocates, environmentalists and countless other =
ideologies.=20
But in the modern West, hundreds of millions of people have no =
such faith in anything. They do not passionately believe in their =
country or in religion. Their highest values are tolerance, health, =
pleasure and not judging good and evil. They are deeply afraid of =
fervent believers in anything. And they especially fear American =
believers =96 i.e., believers in the Bible and in America. That is why =
they commonly equate fundamentalist Christians with fundamentalist =
Muslims and that is why they so hate George W. Bush, the believer in the =
biblical God and in an American mission.=20
As for the religious opponents of the president and his war =
against Islamic terror, they themselves will tell you that they do not =
share the true believers' faith. The Christian supporters of the =
president overwhelmingly believe that the Bible is the word of God, =
while the religious opponents of the president generally regard the =
Bible as a human document. Faith is therefore the dividing line even =
among believers in the same religion. That explains why most Christians =
who believe in the divinity of Scripture are closer on almost every =
moral and social position with Jews who believe in the divinity of =
Scripture than they are with theologically and politically liberal =
Christians.=20
We cannot defeat the Islamist threat without the same degree of =
faith fanatical Muslims have. That is why most Europeans have =
capitulated to the anti-liberty Muslims in their midst and to the =
Muslims in the Middle East who seek to annihilate Israel, the state in =
their midst that venerates liberty.=20
But in Israel, the Islamists have come upon an enemy many of whose =
people believe in their religion as deeply as the Islamists do in =
theirs. This is a major reason Israel is isolated along with America as =
the Islamists' main enemy. America and Israel have believers. The defeat =
of one or the other will render the Islamists' goal =96 a Muslim world =
governed by Islamic laws =96 probable, if not inevitable.=20
That is why this battle is a battle of civilizations. One =
civilization believes in liberty and one does not. The problem is that =
the civilization that has liberty has not produced anywhere the depth of =
belief in liberty that the opponents of liberty have produced. That is =
why most Europeans (and their supporters in America on the Left) see =
dying or killing for almost anything as pointless. When you don't =
believe in anything except not dying, you don't really believe in =
anything. For this reason, European civilization is in peril.=20
The great question mark is America. America is already in the =
midst of a civil war, thankfully still non-violent. It is between those =
who fervently believe in America and in Judeo-Christian revelation and =
those who fervently believe in neither.=20
If the former win, the Islamic totalitarian threat, like the =
totalitarian threats before it, will be vanquished. If the latter win =
=96 as represented by the Left, many Democratic Party leaders, =
pacifists, the cultural elite and academia =96 liberty will have been =
nothing more than an aberration that lasted a few hundred years.=20
Dennis Prager, one of America's most respected and popular =
nationally syndicated radio talk-show hosts, is the author of several =
books and a frequent guest on television shows such as Larry King Live, =
Politically Incorrect, The Late Late Show on CBS, Rivera Live, The Early =
Show on CBS, Fox Family Network, The O'Reilly Factor and Hannity & =
Colmes.=20

4. Statement by Ambassador Dan Gillerman
Permanent Representative of Israel to the United Nations
Emergency Session of the Security Council -5 October 2003
The United Nations - New York=20
Mr. President,=20
I wish to congratulate you on the assumption of the Presidency of =
the Security Council. Let me also express to you my regret that your =
first meeting is of this nature and taking place on this day. I wish =
also to express to Sir Emyr Jones-Parry my great appreciation for his =
able and fair stewardship of the Security Council last month.=20
This meeting of the Security Council is being convened within =
hours of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, which is the holiest Day of =
the Jewish calendar. I deeply regret that the Council could not meet =
after this most important religious day, so as to allow Israel to =
participate fully in the debate. I will, unfortunately, have to leave =
this meeting after I make my statement to observe this Holy Day.=20
Yesterday, a Palestinian suicide bomber entered a crowded =
beachfront restaurant in the port city of Haifa, murdering 19 innocent =
civilians and wounding at least 60 others. The restaurant, a symbol of =
Arab-Israeli co-existence was frequented by both Jewish and Arab =
citizens of Israel, and among the victims were four Israeli Arabs, and 3 =
children and a baby girl. Five victims were members of the same family, =
and three were members of another family. Whole families were wiped out =
by this horrendous act.=20
Islamic Jihad, a terrorist organization that operates freely from =
Palestinian Authority territory and has headquarters in Damascus, Syria =
proudly claimed responsibility for this massacre. Islamic Jihad is an =
organizations committed to the destruction of Israel through holy war =
and engages in the deliberate and widespread murder of innocents to that =
end. It opposes moderate Arab governments and actively supports =
terrorist attacks against Western targets. There could not be a more =
obvious example of a terrorist organization.=20
The massacre in Haifa, is the latest in over forty terrorist =
atrocities committed by Islamic Jihad in the past few years. Among the =
attacks perpetrated by this organization is the massacre of 21 teenagers =
at a discotheque in Tel-Aviv on 2 June 2001; the bombing of 5 June 2002 =
at the Meggido Junction which killed 18 Israelis; the bombing of a =
commuter bus on 21 October 2002 which killed 14 citizens; the attack on =
a shopping mall in the Israeli town of Afula on 19 May 2003, in which 3 =
civilians were killed and over 70 wounded; and the attack on March 30, =
2003 where a suicide bomber detonated his explosives at a cafe in =
Netanya wounding 58 civilians.=20
Mr. President,=20
The encouragement, safe harbor, training facilities, funding and =
logistical support offered by Syria to a variety of notorious terrorist =
organizations is a matter of public knowledge. Among the many terrorists =
group that operate and benefit from the auspices of the Syrian =
dictatorship are Islamic Jihad, Hamas, Hizbollah, and The Popular Front =
for the Liberation of Palestine. It is well known that the Secretary =
General of Islamic Jihad, Ramadan Abdallah Shallah is one of several =
terrorist leaders that operates freely in Damascus and receives immunity =
and support from the Assad regime.=20
Allow me to briefly detail, for the benefit of the Council, the =
extent of support that Syria, as well as the regime in Iran, affords to =
terrorist organizations such as Islamic Jihad who are engaged in the =
deliberate massacre of innocent civilians:=20
1) Safe harbor and training facilities are provided throughout =
Syria for terrorist organizations such as Islamic Jihad, Hamas and =
Hizbollah, both in separate facilities and in Syrian army bases. The Ein =
Saheb base, which was targeted in Israel=92s measured defensive =
operation today, is just one of these facilities sponsored by Syria and =
Iran. Recruits at camps such as Ein Saheb come from Islamic Jihad, Hamas =
and other terrorist groups. They are taught how to assemble bombs, =
conduct kidnappings, prepare suicide belts, gather intelligence and =
establish terrorist cells. Some have also received aviation instruction. =
Recruits training at these camps are slated to return to Palestinian =
Authority territory and other areas to set up cells and conduct =
terrorist operations.=20
2) Syria has itself facilitated and directed acts of terrorism =
by coordination and briefings via phone and internet and by calling =
activists to Damascus for consultations and briefings. Three such =
operatives, for example, Tarek Az Aldin, Ali Saffuri and Taabat Mardawi =
have been identified under investigation as specifically designated =
liaisons for relaying instructions between officials in Damascus and =
terrorist cells in the West Bank and Gaza. Mr. Mardawi has admitted =
involvement in many attacks including a bus bombing in Haifa in May =
2001, a suicide attack at a restaurant in Kiryat Motzkin in August of =
that year and a bus attack near Nazareth in March 2002. Another example =
comes from an intelligence report provided by the Head of the =
Palestinian Preventative Security Apparatus on 31 October 2001, which =
asserts that Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Hizballah were meeting in Damascus =
=93in order to increase their joint acitivity=85with the aid of Iranian =
money=94. Instructions are also given to halt terrorist activity when it =
suits Syrian or Iranian interests to avoid the spotlight, such as =
following the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11 in the United States.=20
3) Iran, through the use of the Syrian and Palestinian banking =
systems sustains a systematic money transfer system, and large sums of =
money have been transferred to Islamic Jihad as well as other terrorists =
organizations through Damascus for the planning and perpetration of =
attacks. Mr. Shallah himself, the secretary-general of Islamic Jihad, is =
known to have transferred funds in the hundreds of thousands of dollars =
from Damascus to the individual accounts of Islamic Jihad operatives, =
such as Bassam al-Saadi, who is responsible for Islamic Jihad financing =
in Jenin.=20
4) Syria uses its state run media and official institutions to =
glorify and encourage suicide bombings against civilians in restaurants, =
schools, commuter buses and shopping malls. To mention but a few =
examples, Radio Damascus, in a broadcast of 9 May 2002, lauded =93The =
wonderful and special suicide attacks which were executed by some of the =
sons of the Palestinian nation=94. In another State-run announcement of =
1 January 2002, Damascus radio declared that =93The entire world knows =
that Syria, its political leadership, and its Arab people=85have turned =
Syrian Arab soil into a training camp, a safe haven, and an arms depot =
for the Palestinian revolutionaries=94. And on 13 May 2002, President =
Bashar Assad himself announced in reference to so-called acts of =
resistance =93If I had not been President of Syria I wouldn=92t hesitate =
to participate in them=94. This was not said by Osama Bin Laden or even =
Saddam Hussein, these words were uttered by a President of a member of =
this council! Syria has also played host to a number of conferences in =
which senior terrorist operatives from Hamas, Islamic Jihad and other =
organizations meet.=20
5) Syria has facilitated the transfer of arms to Palestinian =
terrorist organizations such as Islamic Jihad, by allowing the transfer =
of sophisticated weapons from Iran to Hizbullah through Syrian =
territory. Hizbullah, itself a viscous terrorist organization, has then =
sought to smuggle these arms to Palestinian terrorist groups, as was =
evidenced in the Karine A arms shipment and similar incidents.=20
Mr. President,=20
These are just a few examples of the extent and nature of the =
involvement of the Syrian regime in the deliberate murder of innocent =
civilians. Each and every one of these acts constitutes a grave =
violation of international law and Security Council resolutions, as well =
as a threat to international peace and security. There are few better =
exhibits of State-sponsorship for terrorism than the one provided by the =
Syrian regime.=20
Security Council resolution 1373 adopted under Chapter 7 of the =
Charter, which in an act of the highest hypocrisy Syria itself voted =
for, makes absolutely clear that States must prevent acts of terrorism, =
and refrain from any form of financing, support, safe harbor or =
toleration of terrorist groups. Syrian complicity and responsibility for =
suicide bombings is as blatant as it is repugnant. The membership of =
this arch-sponsor of terrorism on this Council is an unbearable =
contradiction and an embarrassment to the United Nations. For Syria to =
ask for a debate of the Council, is comparable to the Taliban calling =
for such a debate. It would be laughable, if it weren=92t so sad.=20
And yet, Members of the Council and the United Nations can hardly =
be surprised at this shameless act of hypocrisy by the Syrian regime. =
This is the same regime that speaks so often of =93occupation=94 while =
it brutally occupies the neighboring territory of Lebanon It is the same =
regime that speaks of international law and human rights while it =
subjugates its people under a repressive and primitive dictatorship, =
violating countless international obligations. It is the same regime =
that supported the Saddam Hussein regime in Iraq in violation of =
Security Council resolutions, and to this day facilitates the =
infiltration of terrorists to attack civilian and military targets in =
Iraqi territory. And it is this same despotic regime that speaks so =
freely of double standards at the United Nations. Syria would do well to =
take a hard look at the mirror, and count itself fortunate that it has =
not yet, for unfortunate reasons, been the subject of concerted =
international action as part of the global campaign against terrorism. =
Not yet!=20
The Syrian delegate speaks a great deal about so-called =
resistance. Perhaps he can tell us precisely, without his familiar =
diplomatic word games and misrepresentations, how exactly the murder of =
children and babies in a restaurant is an act of legitimate resistance. =
Or perhaps he could tell us how the Syrians themselves have dealt with =
resistance, such as in the case of Hamas in which some 10,000 civilians =
were murdered by Syrian Armed Forces.=20
Mr. President,=20
Israel=92s measured defensive response to the horrific suicide =
bombings, against a terrorist training facility in Syria, are a clear =
act of self-defense in accordance with Article 51 of the Charter. These =
actions come after Israel has exercised tremendous restraint despite =
countless acts of terrorism that have claimed hundreds of innocent lives =
for which Syria bears direct and criminal responsibility. It comes after =
Israel, and the international community as a whole, has called =
repeatedly on Syria to end its support of terrorism and finally comply =
with international law. And it is designed to prevent further armed =
attacks against Israeli civilians in which Syria is complicit, with a =
view to encouraging Syria to resolve its dispute through bilateral =
negotiations in accordance with Security Council resolutions 242 and =
338, as it is legally required to do.=20
May I ask what any other country sitting around this table would =
do in the face of the callous murder of hundreds of its civilians? This =
is not a hypothetical question. Many states in this organization, and in =
this Council, have been faced with terrorism of far less intensity and =
have responded with far less restraint and far less concern for human =
life. And yet, the Security Council has not seen fit to scrutinize their =
conduct. Indeed, on certain occasions the Council has specifically =
endorsed such defensive measures.=20
If there is a double standard in this Organization it is that =
while some states are afforded the right to protect their citizens, =
Israel too often is sent the message that its citizens are not worthy of =
protection. If there is a double standard, it is that some states are =
able to support terrorism with impunity, while those defending against =
it are called to account. If there is a double standard it is Syria =
sitting at this table, and raising one hand to vote against terror and =
the other to perpetrate and initiate terror! For the sake of peace and =
the reputation of this Council, let there be no such double standard =
today.=20
In the face of the rejectionism, aggression and terrorist =
sponsorship of the Syrian regime, together with Iran and the Palestinian =
Authority, what would the international community have us do? Like any =
state faced with such a critical and prolonged threat, Israel must =
exercise its inherent right and obligation to defend its citizens. What =
can we tell the Arab and Israeli mothers of children murdered in this =
weekend=92s attack in Haifa? We could have prevented the death of your =
son or daughter? We could have stopped a terrorist from walking into =
your town, your school, your home, your bedroom, but our hands were =
tied? Israel remains committed to a peaceful solution to the Middle East =
conflict, and is ready to make painful compromises to that end. But no =
peace can come while terrorism prospers. No negotiations can bring =
progress, while our citizens die on the streets.=20
Today, on the very eve of the Day of Atonement and the thirteenth =
anniversary of the Egyptian-Syrian aggression that initiated the Yom =
Kippur War, we call on members of the Council to come to the aid of the =
victims of terrorism, not their sponsors. Syria deserves no support for =
its complicity in murder and the Council would commit an unforgivable =
act of moral blindness were it to act otherwise. The time has come for =
the Council which adopted resolution 1373, and which has been at the =
forefront of the global counter-terrorism campaign, to hold to account a =
brutal dictatorship that is world-renowned for adopting terrorism as its =
primary tool. The world is watching. And today, more than on any other =
day, God is watching too!=20
Thank you, Mr. President.=20

terms of defending the homeland.=94

6. HIGHLIGHT ARTICLES
a.. The Incalculable Cost of Palestine The creation of =
Palestine will, in one fell swoop, sever the bonds holding the Jews =
together as a nation, remove the ground on which Judaism stands, and cut =
off the faith supply that has nourished and kept the Jews alive for the =
last 2000 years. It will also shatter the biblical foundations on which =
much of Christianity stands.=20
b.. Palestinian Death Cult For six decades, nothing the =
Palestinians have done has made sense if the objective is to secure a =
state of their own. But, if the objective is to kill Jews, it all makes =
perfect sense. That's why, in West Bank towns, you see no evidence of =
nationalist fervor, only of Jew-killing fervor.=20

<H3>1. <A name=3D1>THE SPIRITUAL ROAD MAP TO MIDDLE =

PEACE</A></H3>By Chris Mitchell - Middle East Bureau Chief - The =
Christian=20
Broadcasting Network=20
<H4>The Road Map sets up a current day drama between the ancient =
covenants=20
and modern day diplomacy. </H4>
<P><FONT color=3D#800000 size=3D+2>O</FONT>n April 30th of this =
year, The=20
Quartet: the United States, the European Union, the United Nations =
and=20
Russia, introduced a diplomatic plan to solve the =
Israeli-Palestinian=20
conflict. They called it the "Road Map." But many believing Jews =
and=20
Christians are raising serious objections to the road map =97 =
objections=20
based on the Bible. After Saddam Hussein was ousted from power in =
Iraq=20
last spring, President Bush turned his foreign policy attention to =
the=20
Israeli-Palestinian conflict and endorsed the two-state solution =
of the=20
Road Map.=20
<P>This summer, the Road Map virtually imploded under the weight =
of more=20
deadly suicide bombings, the resignation of Prime Minister Mahmoud =
Abbas,=20
and Yasser Arafat's refusal to give up power. Still, just three =
weeks ago,=20
the President said he stands by his plan for a two-state solution. =
<P>"I still believe strongly that two states living side by side =
in peace=20
is a hopeful vision for the Middle East. The Road Map is still =
there. The=20
fundamental question is whether or not people, peaceful people, =
will be on=20
that road," Bush said on September 10.=20
<P>But Stan Goodenough, editor of an internet news service called=20
"Jerusalem NewsWire," said, "The Madrid Conference, Oslo 1, Oslo 2 =
and the=20
Road Map. It's all the same thing =97 it's a land for peace =
process."=20
<P>Goodenough reported from the 1991 Madrid Peace Conference when =
the=20
first President Bush and Secretary of State James Baker initially =
promoted=20
the concept of "land for peace."=20
<P>"Madrid was the first =91land for peace=92 conference. But =
Israel was=20
expected to give not just any part of its land, but actually the =
core of=20
the Biblical land of Israel, the places where, for example, =
Abraham, Isaac=20
and Jacob are buried, where Joseph's mother Rachel died, where =
Joseph=20
himself was buried, where Abraham built all his altars to the =
Lord,"=20
Goodenough explained. "All these parts of the land of Israel that =
are=20
actually central to the Jewish worldview, to the Jewish faith, =
actually to=20
give it up means actually to cut themselves off from part of their =
history."=20
<P>The land Israel is expected to give up in the Road Map for a =
future=20
Palestinian state is known around the world as the West Bank. But =
in the=20
Bible, the land is called Judea and Samaria and contains most of =
the=20
Bible's most important landmarks like Hebron, Bethlehem, Beth El =
and=20
Shiloh.=20
<P>CBN News visited Shiloh, the place where Joshua set up his =
capital and=20
divided the land between the twelve tribes of Israel. This is the =
place=20
where Hannah prayed to the Lord for a son, and within these walls, =
Samuel=20
ministered. It is also the place where the Ark of the Covenant =
resided for=20
369 years.=20
<P>"Shiloh is the spiritual, geographic and political heartland. =
It's the=20
heart of the land of Israel," said David Rubin, a spokeman for the =
Jewish=20
community of Shiloh in the heart of Samaria. He believes the =
biblical=20
implications of today's Road Map are clear.=20
<P>"The only Road Map, legitimate Road Map is a Road Map of =
Abraham, Isaac=20
and Jacob," he said. "If we look at that hill and the road going =
north=20
from here, that is =91the Road of the Patriarchs. The Road of the =
Patriarchs=20
is the path that the Patriarchs took when they were travelling the =
land of=20
Israel=85 So you're talking about the biblical heartland here. And =
anyone=20
who talks about giving up the Biblical heartland is going against =
the=20
Bible. Is going against God's Word. I can't put it any clearer =
than that."=20
<P>Tom Hess, author of God's Abrahamic Covenants with Israel, =
said, "These=20
are the very places where God made covenant with Abraham and =
promised the=20
land to the Jewish people."=20
<P>Hess says these covenants are vital to understand current =
events. "To=20
understand the Middle East and God's prophetic purposes for the =
Middle=20
East, we have to understand the covenants God made with Abraham =
and the=20
altars that Abraham built with God and made covenant with him, or =
we will=20
never understand the Middle East from God's perspective," he said. =
<P>Abraham built those altars throughout the land of Israel. He =
built one=20
near here in Bethel. This is where Jacob saw the ladder going up =
to heaven=20
in a dream, when God promised the land to him and his descendants. =
If the=20
Road Map is implemented, much of this land might become part of a=20
Palestinian state. But according to the Bible, this land has a =
very=20
specific purpose.=20
<P>Hess believes today=92s diplomatic efforts contradict the =
Bible. "They're=20
saying if they divide up the land of Israel and establish a =
Palestinian=20
state, that this will bring peace. But the Bible says in the book =
of Joel,=20
it says that God will bring judgment against those who divide up =
the land=20
of Israel," he said.=20
<P>Yet Hess says the covenants also hold a blessing for the =
Palestinians.=20
"The Palestinians will find blessings coming to them like they can =
not=20
imagine if the God of Israel=85 if they embrace the Jewish people =
and if=20
they bless them and if they stop violence and start blessing," =
Hess said.=20
<P>Goodenough said, "My understanding of God's Word is that He is=20
restoring the Jewish people to this Land, to the entire Land of =
Israel and=20
very specifically, according to the Prophet Ezekiel to the =
'so-called'=20
occupied territories=85 That He is restoring them here in a =
physical sense,=20
bringing them from the four corners of the earth to this Land in =
order to=20
meet with them, in order to have a reunion with them, a spiritual=20
reunion."=20
<P>It is a physical restoration that began more than 100 years ago =
and=20
continues today.=20
<P>Ron Nachman is the mayor of Ariel, and he is part of that =
Jewish=20
restoration to the land. Looking out over Ariel, he said, "Today =
we have=20
18,000 people as I told you. The university, on the other side is =
the=20
hotel, and different schools and everything there, and over there =
is the=20
industrial park."=20
<P>Nachman established the city of Ariel 25 years ago with only =
two tents.=20
Now it is the largest Jewish community in Samaria.=20
<P>"I think the prophecy that is mentioned in the Bible that =91I =
will bring=20
the Jewish people from the northern countries=92 =97 it's exactly =
what's=20
happening," Nachman said. "Over 50 percent of the city of Ariel, =
over=20
9,000 people came from the former Soviet Union. And they said in =
the=20
Bible, =91And they will come and plant vineyards on the mountains =
of=20
Samaria.=92 That's exactly what we are doing, planting vineyards =
in the=20
mountains of Samaria."=20
<P>Goodenough said, "All these =91land for peace=92 processes have =
been trying=20
to reverse the process of this physical restoration. Now if the =
Bible says=20
that the Jews are coming back here, that God is bringing them back =
here,=20
to bring them back to this Land in order to meet with them, then =
in a very=20
real sense the international community and the Word of God are on =
a=20
collision course with each other. And one of them is going to give =
way,=20
and I know in my spirit which one it is. It's not going to be the =
Word of=20
God."=20

Chairman=20
Yasser Arafat is seriously ill.=20
<P>Yet Palestinian and Israeli officials observe that, with Arafat =

in the short run, and the much more frightening "unknown" in the =
long run.=20
Plus, it will have one less peg to hang the blame on for terrorist =

Mahmoud Abbas is take hold of Fatah and the PLO. Simple, right? =
Wrong.=20
<P>When Arafat dies "the PLO will die with him," says PLO expert =

<P>Israel will also likely be blamed for Arafat's death. Rumors of =

Ramallah. The chairman regularly reminds his aides that Israel is =

<P>There are many explanations for the lack of support for America =

that=20
America has far more believers =96 in religion and in their =

any other nation in the industrialized world.=20
<P>Faith in religion and in America also explains much of the =

division within America itself. President Bush, Vice President =

Condoleezza Rice are deeply religious, and the vast majority of =

policy.=20
<P>Of course, some of the president's supporters aren't religious =
and some=20
of his opponents claim to be religious, but these phenomena can be =
also=20
explained by the question of faith. Virtually all the =
non-religious=20
supporters of President Bush's war on the Islamist threat to =

a deep faith in the United States and in its mission to preserve =
liberty.=20
Religion is by no means the only form faith can take. Fervent =
believers=20

animal-rights advocates, environmentalists and countless other =
ideologies.=20
<P>But in the modern West, hundreds of millions of people have no =
such=20
faith in anything. They do not passionately believe in their =
country or in=20
religion. Their highest values are tolerance, health, pleasure and =
not=20
judging good and evil. They are deeply afraid of fervent believers =
in=20
anything. And they especially fear American believers =96 i.e., =
believers in=20
the Bible and in America. That is why they commonly equate =
fundamentalist=20
Christians with fundamentalist Muslims and that is why they so =
hate George=20

<P>As for the religious opponents of the president and his war =

true believers' faith. The Christian supporters of the president=20
overwhelmingly believe that the Bible is the word of God, while =
the=20
religious opponents of the president generally regard the Bible as =
a human=20
document. Faith is therefore the dividing line even among =
