Elom, your write-up, and regardless of your visit to Israel, demonstrates your

ignorance, excuse my word.

You claim Israel is occupying another’s land for 77 years.

Israel is not occupying anybody’s land.

They owned the land.

Israel had been on this same land for about 4000 years ago and you claim Israel is committing genocide and mass extermination.

I believe if someone attacks you in your house, you will just fold your arms or put both your hands behind your back and let your attacker finish you.

The word genocide means;

1. Killing members of a group.

2. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of a group, then

3. Deliberately inflicting physical destruction on a group.

If Israel wants to commit genocide, then why did they give the Palestinians Gaza and Judea, and Samaria?, Israel had lived with the Palestinians for more than fifty years, but they don’t even want them.

Why would Israel consider them if it wants to commit genocide?

Israel’s IDF is the only army in the world that first warns civilians to get clear from harm's way.

Israel has no intention to fight the Palestinians; Israel is only fighting a terrorist group but not the people of Gaza.

See, Israel is like bees peacefully making their honey in their nest, and you hit the nest with a stick.

What do you think will happen?

The bees will come after you, and now you are screaming to the world that the bees have gone crazy.

Who cause am?

In any case, if we talked about the land, I can assure you that Israel’s neighbours do know and believe that the land belongs to Israel, and they don’t have any doubt about it.

Quran 5:20 And when Moses said to his people, "O my people, remember the favor of Allah upon you when He appointed among you prophets and made you kings and gave you what He had not given anyone among the worlds."

5:21 "O my people, enter the Holy Land which Allah has assigned to you and do not turn back or you will be losers."

5:22 They said, "O Moses, indeed within it is a people of tyrannical strength, and indeed, we will never enter it until they leave it; but if they leave it, then we will enter."

The above scriptures are in the Holy Quran, not the Holy Bible.

Whether you like it or not, or whether you believe it or not, Israel owns the land.

They would rather have an agenda under their sleeves, and you have no idea, besides, Israel is fighting a battle to protect you, and I pray you find out.

God gave the land, which includes Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria, to Israel as an everlasting possession.

In Gen 17:7, And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. 

Gen 17:8  And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land

wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God. 

Abraham had two sons, Ishmael, the eldest, and Isaac, the youngest, but when Abraham died, God bypassed Ishmael and went to Isaac and repeated the same promise to Isaac.

Gen 26:1  And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham.

And Isaac went unto Abimelech, king of the Philistines, unto Gerar. 

Gen 26:2  And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:  Gen 26:3  Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;  Gen 26:4  And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;  Gen 26:5  Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws. 

Isaac also had two sons Esau the eldest and Jacob the youngest, but when Isaac died, God bypassed Esau and went to Jacob and repeated the same promise to Jacob, Gen 35:10  And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel. 

Gen 35:11  And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins;  Gen 35:12  And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land. 

Jacob had twelve so.s, God changed Jacob’s name to Israel and used Jacob’s sons to create the nation Israel.

So Israel is the only country in the world that God himself, through his sovereign act, created.

God told Moses to tell Phaaroh that Israel is his son, his firstborn Exo 4:22  And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn:  Exo 4:23  And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, even thy firstborn. 

God said this about Israel, Deu 14:2  For thou art a holy people unto the

LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto

himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.

Can you fight God’s firstborn?????

God told Abraham in Gen 12:2  And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:  Gen 12:3  And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. 

And this promise is on Israel, and God said in Zec 2:8  For thus saith the

LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.

Touching Israel is touching the apple of God’s eye.

Many think that Israel in the bible days is different from today’s Israel.

They got it all wrong.

Israel disobeyed God, that was why God punished them by scattering them across the globe 2000 years ago, and the same God promised to bring them back.

Amo 9:14  And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them. 

Amo 9:15  And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be

pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God. 

Eze 34:13  And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country. 

Israel was back on their land in 194,8, which they left 2000 years ago.

Elorm, you are in collision with God.

There are nations and some individuals who have been blessed or cursed according to the way they treat Israel, and those who touch Israel get God’s attention according to Zechariah 2:8.

Touching Israel is touching the apple of God’s eye. And I will prove them to

you.

This is a prophecy that was fulfilled in April 1945.

In Zec 11:8, Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul loathed them, and their soul also abhorred me.

(The words loathed and abhorred have the same meaning. Hated a,n d these three shepherds that God hated were world leaders who did not like the Jews, and one of them was trying to block the creation of the Jewish nation, and God took them away to pave the way for the creation of the nation Israel.)

And these shepherds were:

1. President Roosevelt promised the Saudi king not to allow the creation of

The Jewish nation, so God took him away on April 12, 1945.

2 . Italian Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler orchestrated the Holocaust.st Benito Mussolini died Apr28, 1945945, and

3. Adolf Hitler also died April 300, 194.55. Those leaders touched the apple of

God’s eye.

After the six-day war, countries in the Horn of Africa got angry with Israel

because Israel had beaten their sister country Egypt, so Sudan, Somalia, and

One other country withdrew its ambassadors from Israel and drove away the

Israeli ambassadors in their countries, since then, these countries have had

suffered, war, famine, drought, and their suffering is unabated.

Why?

Those countries touched the apple of God’s eye.

Japan got angry with Israel for building in the East of Jerusalem, where the

Palestinians had decided to use it as their capital, and in support of the

Palestinians, Japan send the Palestinians billions of dollars, just the next day

Japan got a tsunami. Why? Japan touched the apple of God’s eye.

On October 30, 1991, George Bush Sr. gave a speech in Madrid that an official

The policy of America Is To divide God’s land, that is Jerusalem, and create a

Palestinian state.

Just as he was giving the speech, a powerful storm called “The Perfect Storm” hit America and destroyed the president's own house.

Remember Joel 3:2. On January 16, 1994, President Clinton met in Geneva with Syria’s dictator, President Assad, the present president’s father.

The two leaders met to discuss peace between Israel and Syria. President Clinton then said Syria was ready for a peace agreement with Israel.

This peace agreement included Israel giving up the Golan Heights to Syria. But the Golan Heights is also part of the covenant land God promised to Abraham and his seed, the Jewish people.

Clinton then said Israel must make concessions that will be politically unpopular with many Israelis.

The very next day, January 17, 1994, a powerful 6.8 magnitude earthquake rocked the LosAngeless area.

This powerful earthquake caused an estimated $25 billion in damage.

Yes, the quake was so powerful that it caused the Santa Susanna mountains to rise one foot and the LosAngeless basin area to shrink.

They touched the apple of God’s eye.

France suffered an unprecedented fire when President Macron declared to recognised a Palestinian state, and Ghana was not exempted.

On the 1st of August, our President gifted the Palestinians with cocoa, and then we had the helicopter crash on the 6th of August.

Why?

Ghana touched the apple of God’s eye.

God will never turn his back on Israel, God said, he will turn his back on

Israel only if the sun, moon, and the stars stop shining permanently, Jer 31:35 Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the

ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts is his name:  Jer 31:36  If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me forever. 

Jer 31:37  Thus saith the LORD: If heaven above can be measured, and the

foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed

of Israel for all that they have done, saith the LORD. 

Elorm, some people want to wipe Israel away from the face of the earth, but

I can assure you that the world cannot progress without Israel.

Israel is one of the leaders of technology development in the world, Israel has the highest concentration of high tech companies in the world, Israel has the highest ratio of university degree to the population in the world, Israel is rate number two in the world for venture capital funds, right behind the United States, Israel’s $100 billion economy is larger than all its neighbours combined

together, and they don’t even have any oil.

Israel has the highest standard of living in the Middle East.

Look at history, every empire, dictator, and movement that tried to destroy Israel is gone.

The haraoh who enslaved the Jews is gone, Babylon exiled the Jews, gone, the Romans tried to erase the Jewish identity, gone, the Inquisition hunted the Jews is gone, the Nazis murdered six million Jews is gone.

The Jewish people, however, are still here, thriving, growing, building, and do you know why?

No power on earth can face Israel, and let me tell you their secret weapon, that is God.

I wonder how you understand the bible, bashing the ambassador is bashing God. You are just kicking your leg against the prick.

And for your information, God is going to come after those who are standing against Israel, yes, today God has made Israel a burdensome stone to all the people of the earth.

Zec 12:1  The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD,

which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth,

and formeth the spirit of man within him. 

Zec 12:2  Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the

people around about, when they shall be in the siege, both against Judah and

against Jerusalem. 

Zec 12:3  And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all

people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though the people of the earth will be gathered together against it. 

Zec 12:4  In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness. 

Zec 12:5  And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, the

inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts, their

God. 

Zec 12:6  In that day will I make the governors of Judah like a hearth of fire

among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all

the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem

shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem. 

Zec 12:7  The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not

magnify themselves against Judah. 

Zec 12:8  In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem;

And he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the

The house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them. 

Zec 12:9  And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. 

Do not mess with Israel.

Messing with them is messing with God.

I STAND VIGOROUSLY WITH ISRAEL
