For Zion's sake I will not be silent for Jerusalem's sake I will not be still. Isaiah 62:1
I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; They shall never hold their peace day or night. You who make mention of the LORD, do not keep silent, And give Him no rest till He establishes And till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth. (Isa 62:6-7)

Psalm 75:1-7, "We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks!  For Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near. ‘When I choose the proper time, I will judge uprightly. The earth and all its inhabitants are dissolved; I set up its pillars firmly. Selah. I said to the boastful, "Do not deal boastfully," and to the wicked, "Do not lift up the horn. Do not lift up your horn on high; Do not speak with a stiff neck."' For exaltation comes neither from the east nor from the west nor from the south. But God is the Judge: He puts down one and exalts another."

-  The Committee to Protect Journalists on Wednesday called on Israel to release findings of an army investigation into the killing of a Reuters cameraman in the Gaza Strip in April. Fadel Shana, a 24-year-old Palestinian, was hit by a spray of metal darts from a controversial type of missile as he filmed an Israeli tank dug in about 1.5 km (a mile) away. Shana's soundman, Wafa Abu Mizyed, was wounded and eight other Palestinians were killed in the incident. A Reuters car carrying "TV" and "Press" markings was destroyed. "...We are waiting for the authorities to explain how the decision to open fire on these journalists was taken," CPJ Senior Program Coordinator Joel Campagna said.

  TOP     Headlines ABOUT Israel & PA  ISRAELI & PA NEWS & BLOGS   OPINION      ***  Important NOTE  *** 
HFT CONNECT 6/8  THE PALESTINIAN NATIONAL CHARTER One of the most serious problems we have with what is going on in Israel deals with the Palestinian National Charter, written in 1968, after the Six-Day War.  The late Yassir Arafat said many times that the so-called "Palestinians" would make the necessary changes in that Charter in order to satisfy the demands of the "Road Map to Peace" which promises to divide the Land of Israel as well as the City of Jerusalem.  The "Palestinians" have NEVER been a nation, culture,  separate language, etc.  It is a fabrication of Islam in order to destroy the Jewish people and the State of Israel.  Please take the time to read the 33 articles of this Charter which we will present in their entirety in both this issue of HFT Connect as well as in the June 15 edition.  Here are the first 18 articles of this "Charter":
ARTICLE 1:  Palestine is the homeland of the Arab Palestinian people; it is an indivisible part of the Arab homeland, and the Palestinian people are an integral part of the Arab nation.
ARTICLE 2:  Palestine, with the boundaries it had during the British Mandate, is an indivisible territorial unit.
ARTICLE 3:  The Palestinian Arab people possess the legal right to their homeland and have the right to determine their destiny after achieving the liberation of their country in accordance with their wishes and entirely of their own accord and will.
ARTICLE 4:  The Palestinian identity is a genuine, essential, and inherent characteristic; it is transmitted from parents to children.  The Zionist occupation and the dispersal of the Palestinian Arab people, through the disasters which befell them, do not make them lose their Palestinian identity and their membership in the Palestinian community, nor do they negate them.
ARTICLE 5:  The Palestinians are those Arab nationals who, until 1947, normally resided in Palestine regardless of whether they were evicted from it or have stayed there.  Anyone born after that date, of a Palestinian father , whether inside Palestine or outside it,  is also a Palestinian.
ARTICLE 6:  The Jews who had normally resided in Palestine until the beginning of the Zionist invasion will be considered Palestinians.
ARTICLE 7:  That there is a Palestinian community and that it has material, spiritual, and historical connection with Palestine are indisputable facts.  It is a national duty to bring up individual Palestinians in an Arab revolutionary manner.  All means of information and education must be adopted in order to acquaint the Palestinian with his country in the most profound manner, both spiritual and material, that is possible.  He must be prepared for the armed struggle and ready to sacrifice his wealth and his life in order to win back his homeland and bring about its liberation.
ARTICLE 8: The phase in their history through which the Palestinian people are now living, is that of nation (watani) struggle for the liberation of Palestine.  Thus the conflicts among the Palestinian national forces are secondary; and should be ended for the sake of the basic conflict that exists between the forces of Zionism and of imperialism on the one hand, and the Palestinian Arab people on the other.  On this basis the Palestinian masses, regardless of whether they are residing in the national homeland or in diaspora (mahajir) constitute, both their organizations and the individual,  one national front working for the retrieval of Palestine and its liberation though armed struggle.
ARTICLE 9:  Armed struggle is the only way to liberate Palestine.  This it is the overall strategy, not merely a tactical phase.  The Palestinian Arab people assert their absolute determination and firm resolution to continue their armed struggle and to work for an armed popular revolution for the liberation of their country and their return to it.  They also assert their right to normal life in Palestine and to exercise their right to self-determination and sovereignty over it.
ARTICLE 10: Commando action constitutes the nucleus of the Palestinian popular liberation war.  This requires its escalation, comprehensiveness, and he mobilization of all the Palestinian popular and educational efforts and their organization and involvement in the armed Palestinian revolution.  It also requires the achieving of unity for the national (watani) struggle among the different groupings of the Palestinian people, and between the Palestinian people and the Arab masses, so as to secure the continuation of the revolution, its escalation, and victory.
ARTICLE 11:  The Palestinians will have three mottoes: nation (wataniyya) unity, national (qawmiyya) mobilization, and liberation.
ARTICLE 12: The Palestinian people believe in Arab unity.  In order to contribute their share toward the attainment of that objective, however, they must, at the present stage of their struggle, safeguard their Palestinian identity and develop their consciousness of that identity, and oppose any plan that may dissolve or impair it.
ARTICLE 13: Arab unity and the liberation of Palestine are two complementary objectives, the attainment of either of which facilitates the attainment of the other.  Thus, Arab unity leads to the liberation of Palestine, the liberation of Palestine leads to Arab unity; and work toward the realization of one objective proceeds side by side with work toward the realization of the other.
ARTICLE 14:  The destiny of the Arab nation, and indeed Arab existence itself, depend upon the destiny of the Palestinian cause.  From the interdependence springs the Arab nation's pursuit of, and striving for, the liberation of Palestine.  The people of Palestine play the role of the vanguard in the realization of this sacred (qawmi) goal.
ARTICLE 15:  The liberation of Palestine, from an Arab viewpoint, is a national (qawmi) duty and it attempts to repel the Zionist and imperialist aggression against the Arab homeland, and aims at the elimination of Zionism in Palestine.  Absolute responsibility for this falls upon the Arab nation, peoples and governments, with the Arab people of Palestine in the vanguard.  Accordingly, the Arab nation must mobilize all its military, human, moral, and spiritual capabilities to participate actively with the Palestinian people in the liberation of Palestine.  It must, particularly in the phase of the armed Palestinian revolution, offer and furnish the Palestinian people with all possible help, and material and human support, and make available to them the means and opportunities that will enable them to continue to carry out their leading role in the armed revolution, until they liberate their homeland.
ARTICLE 16:  The liberation of Palestine, from a spiritual point of view, will provide the Holy Land with an atmosphere of safety and tranquility, which in turn will safeguard the country's religious sanctuaries and guarantee freedom of worship and of visit to all, without discrimination of race, color, language, or religion.  Accordingly, the people of Palestine look to all spiritual forces in the world for support.
ARTICLE 17: The liberation of Palestine, from a human point of view, will restore to the Palestinian individual his dignity, pride, and freedom.  Accordingly the Palestinian Arab people look forward to the support of all those who believe in the dignity of man and his freedom in the world.
ARTICLE 18:  The liberation of Palestine, from an international point of view, is a defensive action necessitated by the demands of self-defense.  Accordingly the Palestinian people, desirous as they are of the friendship of all people, look to freedom-loving and peace-loving states for support in order o restore their legitimate rights in Palestine, to re-establish peace and security in the country, and to enable its people to exercise national sovereignty and freedom.
(HFT) EDITOR'S NOTE:  The remaining 15 articles will be presented in the June 15 edition of HFT CONNECT.  Please notice carefully in the above articles the repetition of the words "liberation of Palestine."  Those words refer to the destruction of the State of Israel and the annihilation of the Jewish people!
   There also is no such thing as the "Palestinian people" (no culture, language, people, history, etc.,  it is an attempt to create that which does not exist in order to gain the sympathy of the world.  The Arab peoples of the world have many nations already, and the desire to live in the Land of Israel and to prove some sort of historical right to this Land was NEVER a pressing issue nor national desire until the Jewish people returned to the Land and established the sovereign State of Israel.  These articles NEVER refer to the Bible and its history nor to the fact that this Land was given to the physical descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as an "everlasting covenant" from God Himself!)
6/15 CONTINUED:  MORE ON THE PALESTINIAN NATIONAL CHARTER
    In last week's HFT CONNECT we presented the first 18 articles of the Palestinian Charter.  Those articles are filled with inaccuracies and fabrications regarding the history of Israel and its Land.  These articles totally ignore and deny the Biblical evidence for Israel as a nation and a land given to the physical descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob by the LORD GOD of Israel Himself!  Here are the remaining 15 articles:
ARTICLE 19:  The partition of Palestine in 1947 and the establishment of the State of Israel are entirely illegal, regardless of the passage of time, because they were contrary to the will of the Palestinian people and to their natural right in their homeland, and inconsistent with the principles embodied in the Charter of the United Nations, particularly the right to self-determination.
ARTICLE 20:  The Balfour Declaration, the Mandate for Palestine, and everything that has been based upon it, are deemed null and void.  Claims of historical or religious ties of Jews with Palestine are incomparable with the facts of history and the true conception of what constitutes statehood.  Judaism, being a religion, is not an independent nationality.  Nor do Jews constitute a single nation with an identity of its own; they are citizens of the states to which they belong.
ARTICLE 21:  The Arab Palestinian people, expressing themselves by the armed Palestinian revolution, REJECT ALL SOLUTIONS which are substitutes for the total liberation of Palestine and REJECT ALL PROPOSALS aiming at the liquidation of the Palestinian problem, or its inter-nationalization.
ARTICLE 22:   Zionism is a political movement organically associated with international imperialism and antagonistic to all action for liberation and to progressive movements in the world.  It is racist and fanatic in its nature, aggressive, expansionist, and colonial in its aims, and fascist in its methods.  ISRAEL IS THE INSTRUMENT OF THE ZIONIST MOVEMENT and geographical base for world imperialism placed strategically in the midst of the Arab homeland to combat the hopes of the Arab nation for liberation, unity, and progress.  Israel is a constant source of threat vis-à-vis peace in the Middle East and the whole world.  Since the liberation of Palestine will destroy the Zionist and imperialist presence and will contribute to the establishment of peace in the Middle East, the Palestinian people look for the support of all the progressive and peaceful forces and urge them all, irrespective of their affiliations and beliefs, to offer the Palestinian people all aid and support in their just struggled for the liberation of their homeland.
ARTICLE 23:  The demand of security and peace, as well as the demand of right and justice, require all states to consider Zionism an illegitimate movement, to outlaw its existence, and to ban its operations, in order that friendly relations among peoples may be preserved, and the loyalty of citizens to their respective homelands safeguarded.
ARTICLE 24:  The Palestinian people believe in the principles of justice, freedom, sovereignty, self-determination, human dignity, and in the right of all peoples to exercise them.
ARTICLE 25:  For the realization of the goals of this Charter and its principles, the Palestine Liberation Organization will perform its role in the liberation of Palestine in according with the Constitution of this Organization.
ARTICLE 26:  The Palestine Liberation Organization, representative of the Palestinian revolutionary forces, is responsible for the Palestinian Arab people's movement in its struggle to retrieve its homeland, liberate and return to it and exercise the right to self-determination in it,  to all military, political, and financial fields and also for whatever may be required by the Palestine case on the inter-Arab and international levels.
ARTICLE 27:   The Palestine Liberation Organization shall cooperate with all Arab states, each according to its potentialities, and will adopt a neutral policy among them in the light of the requirements of the war of liberation; and on this basis it shall not interfere in the internal affairs of any Arab state.
ARTICLE 28:  The Palestinian Arab people assert the genuineness and independence of their national (wataniyya) revolution, and REJECT ALL FORMS OF INTERVENTION, TRUSTEESHIP, AND SUBORDINATION.
ARTICLE 29:  The Palestinian people possess the fundamental and genuine legal right to liberate and retrieve their homeland.  The Palestinian people determine their attitude toward all states and forces on the basis of the stands they adopt vis-à-vis to the Palestinian resolution to fulfill the aims of the Palestinian people.
ARTICLE 30:  Fighters and carriers of arms in the war of liberation are the nucleus of the popular army which will be the protective force for the gains of the Palestinian Arab people.
ARTICLE 31:  The Organization (PLO) shall have a flag, an oath of allegiance, and an anthem.  All this shall be decided upon in accordance with a special regulation.
ARTICLE 32:  Regulations, which shall be known as the Constitution of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, shall be annexed to this Charter.  It will lay down the manner in which the Organization, and its organs and institutions, shall be constituted; the respective competence of each; and the requirements of its obligation under the Charter.
ARTICLE 33:  This Charter shall not be amended save by (vote of) a majority of two-thirds of the total membership of the National Congress of the Palestine Liberation Organization (taken) at a special session convened for that purpose.
    There you have it for all of us to read.  Again, the words "liberation of Palestine" refer to the destruction and elimination of the State of Israel and the annihilation of the Jewish people.  FATAH (founded by Yassir Arafat and Mahmoud Abbas,  current President) is a terrorist organization and has continued to bring terrorist attacks against the Israeli citizens.  Yassir Arafat was NOT a Palestinian, but rather an Egyptian.  The PLO is NOT a "peace partner" and has imposed terrible attacks, torture, and death upon its own citizens.  It is time for all Bible believers to recognize the Biblical and historical right of the physical descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to the Land of Israel (owned by God - Leviticus 25:23) an "everlasting covenant" that cannot be broken!

clubparis-general-issues  MEETING OF THE PARIS CLUB WITH REPRESENTATIVES OF OTHER BILATERAL CREDITORS & REPRESENTATIVES OF THE PRIVATE SECTOR  On Wednesday 11 June 2008, the Paris Club held its annual meeting with representatives of the private sector, including representatives of banks, bondholders, investment funds, and other members of the international financial community.  This year, representatives of countries non members of the Paris Club have been invited to this meeting, so that all major constituencies of low-income countries' creditors were represented. Representatives of Abu Dhabi, Brazil, the EXIM Bank of China, Israel, Kuwait, South Africa, South Korea and Turkey took part to the meeting. As usual, representatives of the IMF and the World Bank also attended the meeting.
   The first part of the discussion was dedicated to South-South financing flows towards low-income countries. Several countries non-members of the Paris Club presented to the other participants their lending policies and their strategy concerning sovereign claims' management. These presentations were followed by a debate that allowed all participants to provide their comments on the rising importance of South-South financing flows and to exchange on their respective experiences of dealing with low-income debtor countries. This kind of exchange can be the basis of a better mutual understanding of the different methods and strategies of creditors, a prerequisite for a satisfactory cooperation among them.  The second part of the discussion focused on the impact of the global financial crisis on emerging markets and new issuers. Presentations by representatives of the World Bank, the IMF and of the private sector provided a basis for a debate among all parties regarding the present impact of the recent crisis and its long-term consequences. The debate addressed in particular the possible actions to be taken by creditors to reduce the impact of this kind of crisis on the capacity of low and middle-income countries to service their external debt.  As usual, the Paris Club Secretariat and the representatives of the Institute of International Finance made a presentation of their activities during the past year.

As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
***** Important NOTE ***** We send this material for ' information only' with the understanding that as with all things one readsG-dly discretion and discernment must be applied in light of G-d's Word. Acts 17:11      News of HIS Land is in line with the following Statement of Beliefs modeled after one of the Calvary Chapels:  1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired and only infallible, authoritative Word of God. Therefore, our ministry emphasizes the exposition of God's Word from Genesis to Revelation, line upon line, precept upon precept.
2. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. - For more information scroll down.
3. We believe in the deity of Christ, in His Virgin Birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
4. We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential, and that repentance from sin and acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is the only way to come into a relationship with God.
5. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life; we further believe His power and gifts are available to believers today.
6. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
7. We believe the Bible teaches a pre-tribulational rapture.
8. We believe that the Israeli people have the right to the land as promised to Abraham as an everlasting covenant. We believe no one has the right to take the land from them. (Genesis 17:7, Genesis 12:3)
      Jesus Christ, in Matthew 24:4, said, “Take heed that no man deceive you.” Exercise discernment in these times so you will know the truth of Christ rather than the lies of Satan.
