LET US SUPPORT ISRAEL......... NOW ! ! On Sunday the 25th August, the Greenbelt Christian Youth Summer Camp will be held at Cheltenham Racecourse will host Reverend Lucy Winkett the Chair of the Amos Trust who will launch, on behalf of the trust, the Kairos Britain network of Churches. This network, which is also being launched in other countries around the world, is targeting Israel as an oppressive unjust and racist nation who gives no rights to the Palestinians. They condemn Israel and call out for Justice for Palestinians but they ignore the rights of Israel to defend herself and to live on land rightfully her own. They call for what they describe as an end to oppression and injustice by Israel but refuse to address the oppression of Christians in Gaza or the removal of Human rights of women and young men or the summary executions in HAMAS governed areas. They don’t condemn the firing of 29,000 rockets which have been fired at Israeli communities since 2000 or the suicide bombings which are now being prevented by the security fence. They don’t address the increasing teaching of hatred in Palestinian Arab schools. I could go on but I think I have made my point. Greenbelt are also hosting a number of other speakers who are anti-Israel, one of whom Mark Braverman who calls Zionism Racism. This conference attended by the big names in Christianity such as Graham Kendrick and Steve chalk are inciting our youth to hate in the same way as European Church leaders did in the years preceding the Holocaust. This incitement is no less subtle and neither is it in any way less dangerous. The difference between now and then is that we are not going to be rounded up and shot for standing with Israel and speaking out when some of the ‘Church’ is condemning her Many Christians in the Holocaust were classified as bystanders because of the real threat of being murdered alongside Jews. So today why are many in the Christian community bystanders when there is no threat except that of words from those fuelled by anti-Semitism? We are conditioned to believe that by attending a conference or a prayer meeting held by a pro-Israel speaker or giving some of our money to support such ministries that we are doing all we can to help Israel. We go home satisfied that we have done the work that God has called us to do. We must put the knowledge we gain from such meetings into real action. We should be gathering together to pray against such events and make it known to these anti-Semitic groups that their teaching is heretical and inciting hatred. I invite all those who have a heart for Israel to come together in prayer against this event which will take place on ‘Sunday’ 25th of this month. The Gibraltar House of Prayer at Gladys Perez center is meeting every Saturday morning between 9 and 11:30 am. At Bethel Christian Fellowship we meet every 2nd Friday of the month for an Israel Night meeting where we also pray for Israel and all her people. May HaSehem bless and protect them always.
