Regardless of what you may be hearing the
United States of America is not a population of racists operating its
institutions in systemic racism. That is a lie from the pit of hell. We are a force for good in the world, not
this hell we see unleashed against us. Americans thank you for your prayers for
our country right now and I thank you.
I still fervently believe in the USA.
I still fervently believe in the USA.
"America, America, God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea"
Avner
Boskey has written an impressive and documented overview of racism in America
called A time to be silent, a time
to speak which
deserves to be read and studied for anyone concerned about the issue that set
America on fire. He writes of it, "There is insight to be
gained through examining specific developments over the past hundred or so
years which have contributed to the present situation. It is not light reading.
The conclusions here call for much thought and prayer. Take the time to chew on
this newsletter. We are living in significant days." I am highlighting the section of it that documents on how antisemitism is an element of Black Lives Matter. This should concern all Jews many of whom have been reluctant to believe the greatest threat in the US to Jews has been coming from Leftist activist groups. I know how reluctant Jews in the US and Israel, believers and not yet believers are, because I have been writing about it for several years but few have had ears to hear it.

Black Lives and Jewish matters
On
August 2, 2016 ‘A Vision for Black Lives’ was released August 2, 2016 by The
Movement for Black Lives, an umbrella group of more than 50 organizations,
including the Black Lives Matter Network, the Black Liberation Collective, and
the Center for Constitutional Rights. In the ‘Invest/Divest’ section of “A
Vision for Black Lives,” classic anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist declarations
were made. Since then the pertinent paragraphs on Israel been scrubbed from
official internet websites, though they are still found in many secondary
locations. The ‘A Vision for Black Lives’ platform statement includes a link to
a website promoting the movement to boycott, divest and sanction Israel (BDS):
“The US justifies and advances the global war on terror via its alliance with Israel and is complicit in the genocide taking place against the Palestinian people . . . Israel is an apartheid state . . . [BLM supporters should] build invest/divestment campaigns that ends US Aid to Israel’s military industrial complex.”
In recently distributed BLM flyers there are calls for boycott of Israel which have historical echoes of Nazi times
The ‘Invest/Divest’ section of “A Vision for Black Lives,” was co-authored by Ben Ndugga-Kabuye and Rachel Gilmer. Rachel has an African-American father and a Jewish mother. A former member of Zionist youth group Young Judaea, She no longer identifies as Jewish and is an anti-Israel activist. She is the chief of strategy for Dream Defenders, a black community organizing group based in Florida.
Dream Defenders released an August 12 statement accusing pro-Israel critics of the new ‘Invest/Divest’ plank of the platform of being “wolves in sheep’s clothing” for supporting the Black Lives Matter movement only as long as it supports Israel. It asserted that Israel committed genocide during its 1948 War of Independence. Fighting Israeli “apartheid,” the statement said, is inseparable from fighting racism in America. It called on its allies to join the BDS campaign:
“Some Zionist organizations have condemned the platform . . . going so far as to label some in the BLM movement anti-semitic. Their response has made it all the more clear why we stand in solidarity with Palestine and with Black and Brown people around the world fighting for justice . . . It is convenient to endorse black lives matter when it benefits you. And as long as we stay silent about Israeli apartheid, they will ‘stand’ with Black liberation in the US. Now that our movement has taken a stand against all forms of white supremacy and oppression, Black lives no longer matter . . . For those who no longer stand with Black people because of this belief, goodbye. We do not need nor want you in our movement . . . This is why the Dream Defenders . . . fight for the liberation of Palestine . . . What is happening in Palestine is a genocide and we will not allow anyone to bully us into sanitizing our words”
Jewish Voice for Peace is a leftist advocacy group which supports boycott, divesting and sanctions against Israel. On August 5, 2016 JVP released a statement unconditionally supporting the newly released platform of the Black Lives Matter movement: JVP “endorses the Movement for Black Lives platform in its entirety, without reservation.” Regarding the genocide accusation, JVP responded that “it is not our role to police the language of the ‘Vision for Black Lives’”
A long and winding road | If you are interested in understanding in greater detail how anti-Semitic and anti-Israel positions have infiltrated the Black Power and Black Lives Matter movements, here are four instructive articles:
Cultivating anti-Semitism | If you are interested in understanding in greater detail how Palestinian terror groups have cultivated Black movements with one of their goals being the release of anti-Israel statements and declarations, here are four instructive articles:
The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. threw a spotlight on the underlying motives of these attitudes and statements when he noted, “When people criticize Zionists, they mean Jews, you are talking anti-Semitism”
Black opposition to the BLM declaration | Here are two articles revealing opposition within the African American community to anti-Semitic statements coming out of the Black Lives Matter movement: “Churches split over Black Lives Matter’s criticism of Israel” and "Activist says historical black struggle hijacked after Black Lives Matter activists endorse BDS"
Other opposition to the BLM declaration | Alan Morton Dershowitz is an American lawyer, a scholar of United States constitutional law and criminal law and a noted civil libertarian. His response to anti-Semitism within BLM minces no words:
To give Black Lives Matter a pass on its anti-Jewish bigotry would be to engage in racism. Black anti-Semitism is as inexcusable as white anti-Semitism or white racism. There can be no double standard when it comes to bigotry . . . Black Lives Matter should rescind the portions of the platform that falsely accuse Israel of genocide and apartheid. If it does not, it risks ending in the dustbin of history, along with other discredited bigoted groups.
Earl Bowen Jr., PhD, an African American associate rabbi at Congregation Temple Beth El in Philadelphia, states clearly: “BLM statements are anti-Semitic not only because they are false and modern versions of tradition anti-Semitic blood libel, but also because BLM selectively chooses the Jewish state out of all the states in the world to demonize”
Gary Gambill presents a history-based warning for us and for BLM as to how the Boycott movement against Israel (BDS) ends up imploding just about every movement it touches
Co-opting George Floyd for Palestinian terror | Russian communists came up with an important phrase – ‘agitprop’. This term refers to political propaganda when spread to the general public through popular media. George Floyd has recently become the theme of street murals worldwide
Palestinian anti-Israel propaganda has specifically co-opted the murder of George Floyd and turned it into agitprop against the Jewish state of Israel. Huge murals of Floyd surrounded by PLO-associated flags and keffiyeh headdress with a backdrop of Israel’s anti-terror wall/fences
Mark Ayash, Associate Professor of Sociology and Director of the Peace Studies Initiative at Mount Royal University, Calgary, ties these propaganda efforts all together:
This is why the image of Mr. Floyd’s face can make sense within the symbols of the Palestinian struggle. Both black and Palestinian bodies have been rendered bare, opened up for the unleashing of unbound violence that holds no consequence for the perpetrators and oppressors. In the inhuman condition in which the state has thrown them, both black and Palestinian bodies reach into a raw kind of justice that gives us direction and purpose, because it springs from within us to guide us. Not liberalism, not a reformed police system, and certainly not the racist settler-colonial and imperial state can aid or productively participate in this task
An encouraging response to these false narratives is found in the work of African American Joshua Washington and his Institute for Black Solidarity with Israel
Never let a good crisis go to waste | Sir Winston Churchill, UK Prime Minister during WWII, said “Never let a good crisis go to waste” towards the end of World War II as he considered the prospective alliance between the UK, the U.S.S.R, and the USA (which led to the formation of the U.N.). The quote was later adopted by Saul Alinsky in his 1971 book ‘Rules for Radicals.’ Rahm Emanuel, former advisor to President Obama and later Mayor of Chicago, modified and re-used the same quote. The quote is meant to encourage activists who have political strategies to always be on the lookout for helpful breakthroughs.
The Black Power movement and its offspring Black Lives Matter have a multifaceted agenda. A lot of people are not aware of some of these facets. People for the most part are also not tracking about how the agendas of leftist anarchists (who crashed the latest round of protests) can derail an entire group by moving them solidly onto the violent side of the street.
Some of BLM’s goals (if carried out) would lead to tragically destructive fallout for America. Yet at the same time, some of BLM’s grievances are all too real.
The solutions to real problems are not to be found in failed Marxist revolutionary methods – disastrous strategies including the crippling of government police forces and the forced redistribution of wealth. Another point: the cultic and threatening demands to Whites ‘to kneel before Blacks or be considered the enemy’ are spiritually bogus and have the potential to catalyze socio-racial conflict on a much greater scale. A lot of ‘politically correct’ propaganda is circulating using fuzzy yet dogmatic buzzwords like ‘white privilege,’ ‘white fragility,’ ‘systematic police brutality’ and ‘American systematic racism.’ Many of these claims are overstated and under-substantiated. These are false narratives intended to paralyze Americans and to weaken productive discussion. America’s talking points at this time of crisis should not be those established and guided by the ghosts of Malcolm X, Brother Stokely and the Panthers.
For those who love America and what it could yet be in the sight of God, it’s time to take the knee – in prayer. How should we then pray?
Pray for a revelation of God’s justice, love and forgiveness for America. Pray for a revelation about individual, ethnic and national sin to be granted to many. Pray for razor-sharp discernment to be granted especially to believers about hidden strategies in the movements discussed here. Pray for divine strategies to be birthed in the hearts of many Americans on how bring repentance, healing and hope across the board

Chuck Cohen sends his Friday Prayer Points 6/5/2020 from which I am pulling to
USA-oriented items. (I appreciate that Israelis understand that what happens in
the USA does have ripple effect, & especially on Israel. Cohen quotes from the Wisdom
of the Fathers, "Pray for the welfare of the government; if not for
the fear thereof men would swallow each other alive." Is this what we are
seeing as anarchy explodes in the streets of American and other nations? If so,
might the Church be at least partly at fault for refusing to talk about – or
worse, pray about – politics? See 1 Tim. 2:1-2.
Also on The spirit of anarchy: Seeing what is happening in America this past week, this spirit is now prowling its streets and spreading to other nations. While this may not be directly from God, He is allowing it for whatever His reasons are. We need His wisdom to know how to pray about it! Lord, as You are a God of peace and not confusion (1 Cor. 14:33), why has this been released now? Abba, have mercy on all the innocent people worldwide – protecting them from the destructive forces of anarchy which are basically running unchecked (Psa. 55:9-11).

In a 5/27 prayer letter from Maoz Ministries they give prayer pointers
regarding the opening of PM Netanyahu's trial — "the first time a Prime
Minister will simultaneously be leading the nation and defending himself
against it. This case will drag on for months and the people who will be chosen
to decide what the truth is need our prayers. It's a precarious position to be
in, but it also highlights three things: 1. Unlike other nations where
connections of powerful people run so deep it is virtually impossible to
convict them, Israel has no problem sending its highest leaders to prison. 2.
Many Israelis do not believe the charges and voted for Bibi in this past
election even though he had already been indicted (though others who voted
against him are livid that an indicted man should even be allowed to run a new
govt). 3. Regardless of who is actually guilty of the corruption (Bibi or his
accusers), this court case and repeated inconclusive elections demonstrate that
Israel's government is lacking in clear leadership as well as integrity."
They also write "Concerning Justice | It's one thing to watch two powerful entities go head to head in court with the best lawyers money can buy. It's quite another to imagine what it must be like for people without deep pockets who have been treated unjustly. Though the term justice has become a catchphrase for political causes and applied to whole sects of society, I am referencing the traditional definition where one party directly and deliberately wrongs another party – and refuses to make amends. This behavior grieves the Lord and has caused Him to been known to evoke judgment on whole communities. Perhaps the worst thing about injustice against those who cannot defend themselves is not that the courts rule against them, but rather than their grievances are never heard at all."

a new update on the Shelanu situation 6/11 " This week
I had a meeting with one of the top press officals in Israel. He gave me some
great advice regarding Shelanu TV (our Hebrew-speaking cable channel). I was
amazed, after everything we have been through, at how friendly he was. In
addition, we are creating more and more content in Hebrew. Please stand with us
as we seek to raise $48,000 for staff and equipment. This is a new day for
sharing a Jewish message with the Jewish people about a Jewish man! Thank you
for your sustaining prayers!"
In an earlier email Ron wrote, "I wanted to give you an update on Shelanu-TV. Thank God, we are still on the air! But that is because we have never heard back yet from the cable regulatory council.

From Tiberias, the Peniel Fellowship, Daniel and Shirya Yahav write about
how the congregations has been keeping together and overcoming the limitations
during these months of Corona virus lockdowns and cancellations - including one
wedding that finally came off after having to make many changes. But overall,
the blessing was on their new YouTube channel to keep everyone connected (you
can see the messages at their website. Daniel was mobilized for IDF service which
gave him some great opportunities to interact with people they usually don't come into contact with as
he was responsible for their village and a Circassian village nearby to help
with making sure no one was without
food or medications or other basic needs. It proved to be an opportunity to be
a witness in some communities that might otherwise have been hostile based on
his faith (a well known fact in their village!).
They ask for prayers "for
the believing soldiers who serve their army duty, for protection, guidance,
strength and courage. A week ago a family relative of one of the believing
families in our congregation, who is a soldier, was injured in a terror attack
while on duty. These attacks against soldiers have been increasing in the last
several weeks. He was in intensive care and lost one of his legs, but has now
come out of life danger. Also another young man of this family was lately
diagnose with cancer. Our prayer is that this whole clan would come to faith
and find eternal life."
Guy Cohen writes, " So how do
we as believers live in a world where many are of a self-serving mindset, with
a heart turned far from God? What is our role as a follower of Yeshua living
within a society filled with pain and corruption? We are called to love our
enemies and to pray for them and it's not always easy." It is a short message called In the Eye of the Storm and you can find
it along with other of Guy's messages on his Facebook
page. He also writes, "I want to take this opportunity to say to our
friends and partners from the United States that our hearts are with you during
this time of conflict. I encourage you
not to look at what is happening around you with your physical eyes but to turn
your eyes and your heart to Yeshua and He will carry you and your loved ones
through the storm."
Things are moving along for Cody and Liat Archer who found that apartment
in the central Golan Heights that they hoped to find and moving day is coming
up July 1. They send a Short VIDEO
about the area and say, " There is still much to happen over the next
month and we would appreciate your continued prayers and support! Thank you so
much for standing with us during this transition!"
