Let's
Plant a Tree in Samaria!
You
generously answered the call to help plant and maintain trees in
Efrat.
Today
we have been asked by various communities in Samaria to help them
plant new trees in this incredible area.
You will
receive a certificate for every $20.00 tree that you purchase
stating that you have planted a tree in a community in
Samaria.
You will
be taking part in the greening of the Land of Israel as we plant
trees on the mountains of Israel, the Hills of
Samaria.
You will
be fulfilling prophecy:"And I will make the fruit of the tree
and the increase of the field abundant." Ezekiel
36:30
Plant a tree
today!

The Dangers of Appeasement...
Appease ment is becoming all
too popular, but it is a dangerous concept indeed. Often couched
as diplomacy or compromise, appeasement is all about surrender. It
is about giving in to the demands of your enemy, even if you know
that those demands are unreasonable or even dangerous to your
people.
The settlement
freeze is a perfect example of appeasement at work. Last year,
President Obama, backed by the leaders of Europe and the rest of
the free world, demanded that Israel halt all construction in the
communities in Judea and Samaria. Negotiations between Israel and
the Palestinians had been frozen for quite some time when the
Palestinians rejected Ehud Olmert's ridiculously generous offers
which included parts of Jerusalem.
When Obama
became president, he was determined to succeed where others had
failed. And his incredible arrogance propelled him to pressure
Israel as no other American president has ever done. More
pressure, went the logic, more surrender. And since in Obama's
eyes, Israel is the intransigent party, Israel's surrender on key
issues would bring peace.
Israel, in a
valiant effort to stave off the pressure and to buy time, decided
to agree to a settlement freeze for 10 months only. The freeze was
fixed in time and its declared purpose was to make it easier for
the Palestinians to return to the table. The Arabs, however,
consistently refused to do so, until just a few weeks before the
freeze was to expire. Thankfully, the Government of Israel kept
its word and the freeze ended on the 26th of September. At least
it ended officially. Those with building permits from before the
freeze resumed building, but no new building permits have been
issued, no new building projects have been approved.

excess energy.

and their parents know that you are committed to building Biblical
Israel. They will feel your tangible act of love and your
dedication to seeing the promises of God fulfilled in His Holy
Land. Thank you for joining with me today in blessing the people
