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)

<><   <><   <><
(Isaiah 30:27-28)  Behold, the name of the LORD comes from afar, Burning with His anger,And His burden is heavy; His lips are full of indignation, And His tongue like a devouring fire.His breath is like an overflowing stream, Which reaches up to the neck, To sift the gentiles with  the sieve of futility; And there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the nations, Causing them to err .

>>   David Dolan:  [ISRAELUPDATE] JANUARY NEWS REVIEW  Shalom to all!  I am on my way from the United States to Australia this week, where I will begin speaking this Friday in Newcastle and in several other parts of New South Wales, including next week at the Parliament building in Sydney, then in the Brisbane area, and finally in Melbourne.  I have posted my speaking schedule just below this month’s Israel news update for those of you living in the lovely land Down Under.  After experiencing a bit of the heavy rain that fell in California last week (as was also the case in Israel), it will be nice to head into summertime in Australia! 
   Many significant things occurred in Israel and the Middle East this month, which are highlighted below.  The threat of renewed conflict between Israel and the Lebanese Shiite Hizbullah militia was high on the news agenda, along with the worrisome prospect that Syria would join such a war this time around.  There was also renewed action in and around the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, with rockets falling once again near the coastal city of Ashkelon and elsewhere, and a bombing attack in Jordan. The details are below. 
   I mentioned before that I carried out a series of television interviews in Jerusalem last October for the Zola Levitt Presents program based in Dallas.  Eight of those interviews will be broadcast over the next two months, and also posted on their web site if you would like to view them.    
   Despite renewed talk of major conflict in the Middle East, I am still planning to host a tour to Israel this coming June.  Tourism visits actually reached a near record level during 2009, as noted below, and I hope things will be calm enough for my tour to proceed as scheduled. The American-based tour company I am working with is headed by a former Israeli military commander, and I know from past experience that he and his Tel Aviv-based wife will watch the situation closely, with everyone’s safety in mind.  As I often tell audiences around the world, I have lived in ha aretz (the Land) for many years, covering several conflicts there as a journalist, and yet am still alive J!!  In fact, the only places on earth where I have been physically assaulted were in the United States and Australia (mugged in Los Angeles, caught in a gang war in south Florida, and had some fists directed at me by some hostile guys while speaking in Melbourne!).  Lord willing, I will mark my 30th anniversary living in the Land of Promise later this year, and consequently know the layout of it very well, and also many of the people who live there.  So if you have not been to Israel before or would like to go again, we would be glad to have you join the several dozen people already signed up for the tour.  Details are on my website, www.ddolan.com  WAR ANNIVERSARY SPARKS FRESH VIOLENCE

"Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and cry out to her,
That her warfare is ended, That her iniquity is pardoned; For she has received  from the LORD's hand Double for all her sins."
>>   Jerusalem Connection Regular Columns  Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at a ceremony marking 65 years since the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp, said: "We have gathered here, Poles and Jews, at the crossroads of tragedy. Our long shared history included tremendous cultural accomplishments and the lowest low humanity has experienced. We were here. We remember those who froze to death; if they did not freeze to death, they were executed by gas, burned in the ovens. We remember also that one-third of the Righteous Gentiles, those who risked their lives and their children’s lives and those of their families in order to save others, were Poles. We remember all this…
  To those who were murdered here, and to those who survived the destruction, I come from Jerusalem today with this promise: We will never forget! We will never permit those who desecrated this monument to death to distort or wipe away your memory. …
  The most important lesson of the Holocaust is that a murderous evil must be stopped early, when it is still in its infancy and before it can carry out its designs. The enlightened nations of the world must learn this lesson.
  We, the Jewish nation, who lost a third of our people on Europe's blood-soaked soil, have learned that the only guarantee for defending our people is a strong State of Israel and the army of Israel. We have learned to warn the nations of the world of approaching danger but at the same time to prepare to defend ourselves.
  As the head of the Jewish state, I pledge to you today: We will never again permit evil to snuff out the life of our people and the life of our own country.
God says:  I have posted watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on Yahweh, give yourselves no rest, and give him no rest till he establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth. Yahweh has sworn by his right hand and by his mighty arm: "Never again will I give your grain as food for your enemies, and never again will foreigners drink the new wine for which you have toiled; but those who harvest it will eat it and praise the Yahweh, and those who gather the grapes will drink it in the courts of my sanctuary.…They will be called the Holy People, the Redeemed of Yahweh; and you will be called Sought After, the City No Longer Deserted. (Isaiah 62:6-12).
The Jerusalem Connection says: Noticeable for its absence from his State of the Union message was any reference by President Obama to Israel or the Palestinians. Nevertheless, Jews world wide remembered this week the Holocaust Memorial Day and those whose diabolical commitment to replicate it by “wiping Israel of the map.” We are exhorted to “pray for the peace of Jerusalem” (Psalm 122:6). As a prelude to that prayer which should first pray, “O God, do not keep silent; be not quiet, O God, be not still. See how your enemies are astir, how your foes rear their heads. With cunning they conspire against your people; they plot against those you cherish. "Come," they say, "let us destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel be remembered no more." With one mind they plot together; they form an alliance against you- … Cover their faces with shame so that men will seek your name, O Yahweh.  May they ever be ashamed and dismayed; may they perish in disgrace. Let them know that you, whose name is the Yahweh— that you alone are the Most High over all the earth. (Psalm 83).

  • via freemanlist2 IRAN "ISRAEL FEARS TURKEY’S "SHIFT TOWARD IRAN" forwarded with commentary by Emanuel A. Winston, Freeman Center Middle East Analyst & Commentator The idea of Israel offering the hostile Palestinians territory as they did in Gaza so they could launch missiles from a position of closer to Israel’s cities and airport is the same folly as the Gaza blunder. Moreover, to try to resuscitate relations with Turkey by making such a gesture of submission to the Palestinians to please a Turkish Muslim State has aspects of a suicide mission.
       Worse yet, Israel has tried over the recent years, selling weapons technology to Turkey even as it grows closer to Iran. Retro-fitting Turkey’s tanks with greater fire-power and improved accuracy is begging to be killed as that Israeli technology is shared by Turkey with Iran, Syria, Hezb’Allah and Hamas.
       Israel is presently ready to deliver her highly developed UAV’s (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles). Such unmanned vehicles can assist Turkey to scout and attack Kurds - both in Turkey and across the border into Iraq.
       When, not if, Turkey shares this innovative, superb technology with Iran, Israel will soon be facing an Islamic version of Israel’s UAVs. Some will recall how the U.S. transferred Israeli technology to Saudi Arabia on her F16s for conformal fuel tanks which extended the range of Saudi’s U.S. aircraft.
    Israel cannot appease or purchase the loyalty or affection of a Turkish State well along on its return to its Muslim roots. Granted, there are the benefits of profits of arms sales and the pretense of having friendly relations with a Muslim State but, arming them with High Tech weapons which will eventually be used against Israel is an act of appeasement which is surely suicidal.

  • HAITI  IDF SOLDIER’S EYEWITNESS ACCOUNT IN HAITI (Muqata) forwarded with commentary by Emanuel A. Winston, Middle East Analyst & Commentator  Israel brought 221 doctors, fully equipped surgery rooms, pediatrics, obstetrics, intensive care, laboratories, X-ray facilities, a pharmacy plus 50 metric tons of aid - in the first week. One third of the medical team of 40 doctors, 20 paramedics, 25 nurses plus technical staff are reservists who volunteered for the Haiti disaster relief team.
       Israel’s contribution became the focal point for other doctors from all over the world. Regrettably, the International Media worked very hard to insure that Israel’s contribution was either not mentioned or only minimally, at best.
       In the second week some articles and features on TV and radio were broadcast but, not commensurate with the work that was done by the Israelis.
       The following [above] letter from on IDF soldier’s eyewitness account describes how the Haitians and foreign doctors expressed their appreciation for the Israelis considerable selfless caring assistance. COMMENTARY BY EMANUEL A. WINSTON ###
  • Ketzaleh: Radical Left is a Terminal Patient by Gil Ronen (Arutz7)  forwarded with commentary by Emanuel A. Winston, Middle East Analyst & Commentator  I cannot help but feel (G-d Forbid) that Ketzaleh (MK Ya’akov Katz) will be targeted by Shabak should he become too popular as a decent, honest politician - anathema to the Left who ran the country.
       I recall those who were suspiciously murdered when they began to turn away from the so-called ‘Two-State Solution’ and the abandonment of the Land of Israel that G-d gave the Jewish people in perpetuity.
       Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, Ghandi, Raful, the son and daughter-in-law of Rabbi Meir Kahane......
       Imagine the Left accepting One Honest Man as head of a growing party of Patriots.
       So - no more drive-by shootings, sudden strokes, hotel shootings (like Ghandi), etc. COMMENTARY BY EMANUEL A.  WINSTON ###
  • NETANYAHU: ISRAEL MUST KEEP MILITARY PRESENCE IN JORDAN VALLEY (see EarthTimes India) forwarded with commentary by Emanuel A. Winston, Middle East Analyst & Commentator  If you carefully read Netanyahu’s past and present words, he has already abandoned Judea, Samaria, the Golan Heights and all those parts of Jerusalem illegally occupied and desecrated by Jordan for 19 years from 1948 to 1967.
       With a weak gesture he says that his regime will retain the Jordan Valley to be protected by Israeli soldiers. Netanyahu is a calculating liar tied to President Barack Hussein Obama’s coat-tails. He knows the false meaning of his statement as do his Intelligence resources.
       Anyone familiar with the topography of the Jordan Valley and the Judean/Samarian mountains knows that on Jordan’s East side of the Jordan River is a line of high hills. On the Western side where Israel sits, there is also a line of high hills.
       Armed Arab Muslims sitting on both these long range of mountains or hills (East and West) would have Israeli soldiers in a trap or - as is said: "Like shooting fish in a barrel."
       The main reason (in addition to her sovereignty) that Israel needs to keep the Jordan Valley is that it is a 16 mile wide tank trap against Arab armies (including Jordan, Syria, Iraq and/or Iran) coming from Jordan’s "East Bank" through 5 passes which are the only way hostile armies can traverse Israel’s narrow waist. WHEN Israeli artillery controls the Western slopes and the top ridges of the Judean/Samarian mountains, she could make the Jordan Valley impassable to any Arab Muslim invasion force.
       Similarly, surrendering Judea and Samaria makes all of Israel an irresistibly vulnerable target from the Jordan River to the Sea and a totally dry country as 2/3rds of Israel’s fresh water resources are in aquifers under the Judean/Samarian mountains and the Golan Heights.
       As is said in graveyard humor: "If you believe the Arab Islamists will ever give Israel peace, I have a bridge in London to sell you."
       Prime Minister Netanyahu must be made to tell the whole truth rather then issuing clever press releases that speak a partial, misleading political half-truth, designed to keep his government from falling. Now that President Obama has put a choke collar on Bibi, he cannot protect the Jewish Nation/State lest Obama yank on his leash. Israel needs a Prime Minister like Yitzhak Shamir who refused to be chained like a dog to the U.S. "diktats".
       As for Netanyahu, he is simply too weak, too pliable to be leading the Jewish Nation/State against irredeemable enemies and "friends" who just happen to be friends of our enemies. COMMENTARY BY EMANUEL A. WINSTON ###
  • OBAMA ASKS WAR? WHAT WAR? By CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER (via docstalk)  forwarded with commentary by Emanuel A. Winston, Middle East Analyst & Commentator  Whatever doubt there was that President Barack Hussein Obama is a pacifist and sides with Islam, that doubt can be removed. Obama does not wish to defend America or her allies. He only makes speeches about bravery - where he has none. Obama’s entire regime must be removed from power by a vote of the people - very soon - before he can do more harm to America’s finances and healthcare. The damage he has done to our military may be reversible and salvageable.  COMMENTARY BY EMANUEL A. WINSTON  ###  He CANNOT wage war against his own brethren - Shoshanna Walker <rosewalk@concentric.net> 
  • PRESIDENT OBAMA AT THE UNITED NATIONS REPEATING ERRORS OF A "TWO STATE SOLUTION" by PROF. LOUIS RENE BERES (SPME) forwarded with commentary by Emanuel A. Winston, Middle East Analyst & Commentator  It seems almost useless to post Obama’s seeming misreading of both foreign affairs and un-wisely conducting a non-sensible policy nationally. It appears he is on an agen da to destroy America’s economic base so we match economics with failed Third World nations and to follow Islam’s demand that he use America’s power to destroy Israel.
       Clearly, this man has an agenda that is driven by that which most Americans loath. He already knows that the Muslim Islamic countries have two sets of Charters which call for Israel’s destruction. One is the 1400 year old Koran and the other drafted when Israel was partitioned in 1947.
       Obama was assigned by his ideology to subvert America into a failed State to be eventually dominated by Islam under Shari’a (strict Muslim) law or through his own ideology learned in his youth that America is the Great Satan (according to Islam) and must be destroyed. Israel, of course, was designated the Little Satan and, similarly, must be destroyed.
       This - from a barbaric pagan people who worship the Moon god Zin, later recast by Mohammed as Allah. Obama’s ideology is a clear and present danger to America and Israel.
       At long last, buyers’ remorse is reluctantly awakened as Obama guides the nation to unpayable debt and bankruptcy. If America is to recover, Obama and his entire team must be removed from power by Congress and the Supreme Court both as a danger to the nation and as an "illegal President" according to the Constitution.
       The President’s men of Richard Nixon went to Federal Prison as knowledgeable co-conspirators to the Watergate burglary. Misusing American Courts and America’s 16 Intelligence Agencies to hide his past and his true agenda calls for full public disclosure by America’s Intel Agencies.
       As in the Nixon debacle, all those involved in a criminal scam to embezzle the Office of the President should be sent to Federal Prison.  COMMENTARY BY EMANUEL A. WINSTON ### 
  • PEACE TALKS  Mitchell Pitches a New 5-Point Plan for Middle East Negotiations by Avi Yellin ARUTZ SHEVA 7 Israelnationalnews.com forwarded with commentary by Emanuel A. Winston, Middle East Analyst & Commentator  George Mitchell is merely the "talking dummy" with President Barack Hussein Obama mouthing the words as a ventriloquist. Obama has adopted the George W. Bush strategy of proclaiming his "Road Map" as an official "White Paper" of betraying our staunch ally, the Jewish Nation/State of Israel - while hoping to fulfill his personal agenda and loyalty to Islam.
       Clearly, he and the well-known Jew-haters he has selected as his Cabinet of advisors plus his 35 or 45 Czars and Czarinas, support his agenda of paralyzing Israel before dismantling her.
       Has anyone noticed that all of his undertakings are failing? Doesn’t he get The Message? COMMENTARY BY EMANUEL A. WINSTON  ###
  • 'Duh' Another intelligence blunder WALL ST. JOURNAL Editorial 1/22/10 forwarded with commentary by Emanuel A. Winston, Middle East Analyst & Commentator Since President Barack Hussein Obama proclaimed "the Buck stops here" with him on these matters, he owes America at least 99 cents "Change". He can pay us back by firing Dennis Blair, Obama’s Director of National Intelligence, Rahm Emanuel, Obama’s Chief of Staff, and David Axelrod. Then he could take early retirement as the best friend the radical Islamists could ever have. COMMENTARY BY EMANUEL A. WINSTON ###
  • Useless Fort Hood Leaves Americans Unprotected by Diana West (TownhHall.com) Forwarded with commentary by Emanuel A. Winston, Middle East Analyst & Commentator  When History is written evaluating President Barack Hussein Obama’s role in the ramping up Islam’s assault on the West, his role (I am certain) will receive high marks for driving Western Civilization into Submission. ("Islam" means "Submission".)
       From his first days as President one year ago, Obama launched an assault against Israel while making it clear to America’s 16 Intel Agencies that interfering with Islam or Muslims was intolerable to him personally.
       Thus, PC (Political Correctness) plays a guiding role where Nidal Malik Hassan (the Fort Hood assassin) was not touched by his superiors - despite his rants about Islam. The concept of PC saturated the Army, the State Department and the Left Liberal Media. Obama, his huge staff and all mentioned above are guilty of making America and the Free West weak and vulnerable to attacks by "Jihadists" (warriors for Islam). COMMENTARY BY EMANUEL A. WINSTON  ###
  • THE JIHAD DECADE COMETH By Pamela Geller (The American Thinker) forwarded with commentary by Emanuel A. Winston, Middle East Analyst & Commentator  I cannot help but wonder if the American people and the Congress is educable on the matter of Islam’s declared war of their Civilization against ours.
       The Left is always in a mode of surrender when it is not gnawing away at the supports of our nations. Generally, History provides a window into the past wherein the Leftists having colluded in the collapse of their own Civilizations but, always ready to be first to run - unless they offer their services to the invader as happened with the Vichy French who collaborated with Adolph Hitler.
       The Left in America, a certain species of Traitors who work inside to subvert their own nation.
       The following article by Pamela Geller explores this problem but, the actual awakening will only occur when the Islamists already in America starts their attacks across the country.
       Then the Leftists will run for cover - while denying their role in supporting radical Islamist Terror. COMMENTARY BY EMANUEL A. WINSTON ###
  • THE PERILS OF PRESIDENTIAL FAILURE by CAROLINE GLICK (CarolineGlick.com)T Jan. 21, 2010 (JPost)  forwarded with commentary by Emanuel A. Winston, Middle East Analyst & Commentator   President Barack Hussein Obama has failed at everything he has touched. Obama, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Majority Leader Harry Reid are together in a policy called: "American Opinion Be Damned". This means once again they are planning behind closed doors to force his super- expensive Health Care down the throats of all Americans, with the arrogant philosophy of "Not to worry - After a while you will become accustomed to the bitter taste!"
       On America’s foreign front, Obama has a policy of appeasing Islam while using the power of office to attack Israel for not accommodating the Muslim Arab demands for another Terrorist State inside Israel’s Biblical heartland.
       As a pacifist and a fellow traveler of Muslim Islamists who desire to eliminate the Jewish Nation/State of Israel, Obama us your man. Obama cannot be trusted as an ally of Israel and he poses an extreme danger to our American society.
       As a sophist, he can jump to either side of a problem and easily speak from both sides of his mouth. COMMENTARY BY EMANUEL A. WINSTON  ###
  • HAMAS:  Tim Geithner Funds Hamas: US Treasury Opens Avenue for Funding Hamas [Maggie's Notebook] forwarded with commentary by Emanuel A. Winston, Middle East Analyst & Commentator TIMOTHY GEITHNER IS BEING QUESTIONED RIGHT NOW. PLEASE SEND THIS TO THE CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE NOW QUESTIONING GEITHNER ON SECRET TRANSFERS OF FUND TO AIG.
       If there was any suspicion that Obama has directed his regime to take an Islamist track, this should have removed all doubt. Financing Terrorists is what we expect of Iran, Syria, the Russians, England and those others who wish to appease Muslim Arab oil Terrorist nations.
       Deliberately funding Terror is clearly a criminal act, no matter how slick the transfer. Those who do this should be arrested, tried and jailed - regardless of status or rank.
       Who would have thought an American President and his accomplices would have become allies of Terrorists like Hamas - among others. COMMENTARY BY EMANUEL A. WINSTON  ###
  • KEEPING ZIONISM’S PROMISE By CAROLINE GLICK [JPost] forwarded with commentary by Emanuel A. Winston, Middle East Analyst & Commentator As you read the following, you may conclude that the Nations have stood up to be counted - for G-d’s destruction. They failed the ‘litmus test’ by again pursuing and persecuting the Jews.
       Payment and retribution are long past due.
       So, how will G-d exact payment?
       For years I have prayed for earthquakes, super-storms, disease, famine, crop killing freezes or drought, collapse of the economies for all those nations pursuing Israel and the Jewish people.
       If you think I am enraged, wait until the nations feel the whip of G-d. It has been happening for several years and ramping up. The "nations" are getting more ugly by the day.
       Recall how Pharaoh felt compelled to chase the Jews who he had finally let go. He and his Egyptian soldiers chased them to the Sea of Reeds. G-d opened the Sea for the Jews to cross. Then he closed it over the Egyptian soldiers chasing them, killing them all!
       Now recall how the German Nazis and European nations who collaborated with them to murder more than 6 million Jews. Only remnants of Jews escaped the Death Camps and the graveyards of Europe but, the hatred was so intensely vicious that they, like Pharaoh had to follow the Jews to their ancient homeland across the waters to finish what they, Hitler and Amin al Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Islam did not complete.
       Now I pray every day for the nations to pay their overdue debt to the Jews and the G-d Who sent us. Whether the Seas open or the earth levels their lands - whatever G-d selects, it’s OK with me. The world will be better off without anti-Semitic killers and the land they stand on.

ADDITIONAL OPINION ARTICLES
WINSTON OPINION:  Agudath Israel Leader Joins Effort to Free Sholom Rubashkin theyeshivaworld forwarded with commentary by Emanuel A. Winston, Middle East Analyst & Commentator
No doubt, Eric Holder, President Obama’s Attorney General, is well embedded in the anti-Jewish crusade to intimidate all Jews. As previously conducted against AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) intended to silence the legal Jewish lobby in Congress.
   Persecuting Sholom Rubashkin further adds to pressuring American Jews to remain silent while Obama and his Czars force Israel to accept a Muslim Arab Palestinian Two-State Solution.
   Rubashkin is merely another arrow in Obama and Holder’s quiver. [See full information in Press Release below Winston Commentary]
   Sholom Rubashkin was convicted after a jury trial before Judge Linda Reade in federal court in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, of bank fraud relating to Agriprocessors' loan from First Bank Business Capital of St. Louis, and for failure to pay livestock providers in a timely manner. The bank never filed a complaint and the loan was being paid until U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) conducted a raid on Agriprocessors' premises in May 2008, driving Agriprocessors into bankruptcy. The company was sold and the Rubashkin family is in debt. Charges that Agriprocessors employed illegal aliens have been dropped.
Note some prominent but not complete facts listed below:
1. In May 2008, the U.S. government raided the largest Kosher meat processing factory in America, Agriprocessors in Postville, Iowa. Agriprocessors had brought excellent food to all Jews who kept Kosher. They also brought very profitable jobs to Postville. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested and charged the workers with being illegal aliens.
NOTE THAT CHARGES THAT AGRIPROCESSORS EMPLOYED ILLEGAL ALIENS HAVE BEEN DROPPED.
   But, the ICE raid and destruction of Agriprocessors bankrupt the company and the Rubashkins. While they had been paying off their bank loan and their livestock providers in a timely fashion, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) ruined a successful business and then charged Sholom Rubashkin with failing to pay the First Bank Business Capital of St. Louis WHICH NEVER FILED A COMPLAINT.
   In simple words, two main charges, "Illegal Aliens" and "Default of bank loan" have been invalidated.
   So why was Rubashkin convicted and of what?
1. Sholom Rubashkin was taken from his home and family (who were not told where he was) in Iowa, virtually kidnaped to a Federal Court in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. [I don’t know if his family could attend or not.]
2. He was imprisoned for 76 days prior to his trial - although he was clearly not a flight risk. He was denied Kosher food and the ability to obey his religious commandments. When he was first brought to jail, he was forced to strip. He refused to remove his Tallit Katan (the small prayer shawl that an Orthodox religious man must wear in order to walk anywhere). He was denied Kosher food on a regular basis. He has not been able to eat hot food every since he was jailed. He was not able to perform other religious observances that would be available to him only if he were in custody in his own home (under guard).
3. The most heart-rending tragedy of this whole persecution is that he and his wife have 10 children, 6 of whom live at home. They have an autistic 16 year old son who has always been heavily dependent upon his father. If Rubashkin could live at home, he could try to prepare his children for his lengthy absence, if he is sentenced heavily.
   Now the Federal Prosecutors (under Attorney General Eric Holder) demand that he be incarcerated before his sentencing - even though the District Judge eventually agreed that the pre-trial detention was "inappropriate". Now Mr. Rubashkin has been held in Linn County Correctional Center in Cedar Rapids, Iowa since November 12, 2009, pending his sentencing.
   AND: Moreover, his friends and his religious community have offered to pay for a 24-hour private armed security guard that will, in effect, imprison him in his home until his sentencing. A total of approximately 8 million dollars in the equity of 43 homes has been offered as security for his appearance. And to demonstrate the
intensity of their conviction that he will not flee, rabbis have offered Torah scrolls - that may not be assigned except for the most extreme and exigent needs - as security for his presence. COMMENTARY BY EMANUEL A. WINSTON ###

7. We believe the Bible teaches a pre-tribulational rapture.
