Israel UpdateRonnie CohenMorielMinistriesBy Ronnie Cohen– UPDATENEWSLETTER FROM ISRAEL;Well, the good news is thatSyria is on the way to Democracy.New elections were had for thepresidency recently and, surprisingly,Bashir Assad was electedfor another seven year term. Hereceived an unbelievable 97% ofthe vote. Okay, he was the onlycandidate but look at those figures!The other 3% were probably not intown at the moment being that theywere driving weapons to Lebanonfor Hezbollah so their absenteevotes will be a couple of days coming.Hopefully they won’t swaythe outcome. Since we’re on thesubject...Syria has made a formalcomplaint to the U.N. that weaponsare being smuggled into Syriafrom Lebanon! It is said that BashirAssad has shown photos provingthis to the U.N. Sect. General BanKi-moon. Many of the U.N. memberslook upon this as a joke butare trying to keep straight faces.What I don’t quite understandis - Hamas has been firing Kassamrockets into the Israeli city ofSderot for the past two weeks continuously,the world hasn’t said aword, I don’t even think the U.N.knows or cares about this and everyonehas sort of, accepted thisas the “norm”. Israel has limitedretaliation, pinpointing it’s targets,over 70 Hamas terrorists have beenwelcomed into the open arms of70 virgins and still the Palestiniansand the Arab world claim thatits legitimate self defense. A Kassamrocket is the most inaccurateweapon in the world. They randomlyfire them hoping to kill asmany people (and it doesn’t matterwho) as possible and cause asmuch damage. If Israel, in the pro-30 Moriel Quarterly • June 2007cess of targeting a terrorist, kills aninnocent bystander because theythought it would be cool to hangoutwhile firing a Kassam, the U.N.would be the first to condemn Israel.What a wonderful world!Because of the plight of thepeople from Darfur the Israeli JusticeMinister has said that Israelhas an obligation to accept Darfurrefugees based on the Torahand Biblical compassion. Manyof these refugees have managed toescape the Sudan and, somehow,make it through Egypt to the bordersof Israel. The Israeli governmentuntil now, doesn’t know howto cope with the refugee problemand , in the meantime, the refugeesare under detention for crossing theborder illegally. Humanitarian aidis afforded them but they are in astate of “limbo”. The governmentis trying to find a solution or a morepermanent status for these people.And that’s that.RonnieRonnie Cohen; rontour@hotmail.comQuotes of the QUARTER !Be not deceived: evil communicationscorrupt goodmanners.Bible, 1 Corinthians xv.33.Posted by Forkum – http://www.coxandforkum.com/In order for Ahmadinejad to bringhis plans [of eliminating Israel]to fruition, however, he has to demonizethe Jews and the State of Israel. Demonizationis a necessary preconditionfor genocide. As we well know, Hitler firstengaged in a major campaign of demonizationof the Jews before actually murderingthem en masse. Ahmadinejad and theIranian regime are taking the same path,and are conducting a similar virulent,antisemitic campaign of demonization.To this end, Iranian state-controlledtelevision produces various TV seriesdedicated to the demonization of Jews.These include classic blood libels, depictingJews as using the blood of non-Jewish children to bake their Passovermatzos, and as kidnapping non-Jewishchildren to steal their body parts. Jewsare reduced to sub-human levels, depictedas pigs and apes. They are accused ofpersecuting the Prophet Muhammad invoodoo ritualistic scenes, and as tormentinga historic figure reminiscent of Jesuson the Cross. All these TV series existalongside others that deny the Holocaust.Again, it should be stressed that allthese phenomena are interrelated, andare state-directed at the highest level. It ismost indicative that Ahmadinejad’s firstpublic appearance after coming to powerwas made before television producers.All this is done in order to achievethe goal of demonization of Jews andIsrael, which, as I mentioned earlier, isvital for their elimination. However, it isnot possible to demonize a people as longas it is viewed as a victim of the Holocaust.Therefore, as long as the Jews areperceived as victims of the Holocaust,this demonization cannot take root. Holocaustdenial is thus vital, in order towipe out the image of the Jews as victims.This is the reason why thesethree elements - Holocaust denial,the elimination of the State of Israel,and demonization of the Jews - areconstantly present in statements by Ahmadinejadand other senior Iranian officials.
