PROPAGANDA LESSON 4 –“ISRAEL” FRIEND AND ALLY?
The propaganda regarding the so-called “Israel” often repeats that “Israel” is our friend and only ally in the Middle East. The truth is that they are the enemy of Christ and His Church, and therefore should not be considered the ally of the United States of America. In fact they are anti-Christ.
2John verses 7-11: "For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. (8) Look to yourselves that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. (9) Whosoever transgresseth and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. (10) If there come any unto you and bring not this doctrine receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: (11) For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds."
We are not to ally ourselves to and with those who hold the doctrine of antichrist. The state calling itself "Israel" holds the doctrine of the Pharisees which is the doctrine of antichrist. They curse Christ in their writings in the Talmud, their "scripture." So in bidding them "God speed" we are partaking of their evil deeds. They are as certain to be destroyed as was their wicked city in the New Testament times.
Let us pray earnestly that they will turn from their wickedness, repent, and be saved by Jesus Christ, the only way of salvation. Unless they repent, they will be destroyed. Let us not allow ourselves and our nation to be destroyed with them.
The propaganda goes that they are strategically essential to the interests of the USA:
(1)    In the earlier years they said that we needed them to prevent the spread of Communism from the Russians. Well, we know that threat ended if ever it existed.
(2)    Propaganda said that we needed them to protect our oil and gas supplies from the Middle East. It is now evident that that is not true; we have ample, even abundant oil and gas reserves here and with our neighbors. For example, the truth is that at one time the international corporations saw that they could buy the oil and gas from the Shah of Iran for two cents a gallon and sell it here in the US for a hundred or so cents per gallon and make mountains of money.
(3)    Worst of all is the propaganda lie that they are “God’s Chosen People” and therefore have a Biblical right to the land. It is now evident that the only tie they have to the Biblical Israel is that their doctrine is that of the Pharisees of the New Testament which Christ condemned and was therefore crucified by them.
By means of this lie they have taken control of the political process through campaign contributions and organized political action committees such as AIPAC, the American Israel Political Action Committee, and its offspring, CUFI, Christians United for Israel. Through the power of these committees, they have robbed the US through grants, and “loans,” (which they don’t pay because they are ‘forgiven’), through military equipment and military action to the staggering amount now of trillions of dollars.
Worst of all, they have brought us into conflict with the entire Arab population of the world because of our attacks and invasions of Palestine and surrounding areas.
    It is time for the Christians of our nation to heed the warning of 2Corinthians 6:14-18:
“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness? (15) And what concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? (16) And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. (17) Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing: and I will receive you, (18) and will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.”

WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON?

Dear Brother,
      You ask me “Whose side are you on?” in regard to the conflict in the Middle East. My answer is: “I choose to be on the Lord’s side.”
The Lord God does not change sides. We can choose to be on His side, or not. Like the Lord spoke through His prophet: “The Lord is with you, while ye be with Him, and if ye seek Him, He will be found of you, but if ye forsake Him, He will forsake you,” 1Chronicles 15:2b. My position is to search the Scriptures for the Truth and abide by it. God is no respecter of person in judgment: “… but in every nation he that worketh righteousness is accepted with Him,” Acts 10:34-35.
      Your question is ‘loaded’; that is: it assumes that there are only two sides, the Muslims and the “Israelis”. We do not have to choose between these two options, or between the lesser of two evils. When Jesus was confronted with the conflict between two brothers regarding their inheritance rights, He refused to judge the case, Luke 12:13-14. He came to teach, promote, and exercise the higher Law of God’s Kingdom. He came to put the axe to the root of the tree, not just to lop off a limb here and there, but to establish the eternal Law of God in the hearts of the people. How would Jesus solve the petty conflicts of everyday life? Matthew 5:38-48: “turn the other cheek,” “give him your coat and your cloke,” “give to him that asketh… and would borrow…,” “love your enemies,” pray for your persecutors.
      In conflicts we are to judge carefully because we will be judged by the same judgments that we judge by. Yet, sometimes we are required to make righteous judgments, Matthew 7:1-2. This Scripture is a warning that we should be careful to make righteous judgments, for the law is the same for us as for them. Judgment is one of the weightier matters of the law which should be kept, Luke 11:42. Jesus taught us how to make “righteous judgment”: John 7:24. John 7:51states the requirement that we hear the case before we pronounce judgment.
      So, in regard to our position to the conflict in the Middle East, I have found the following:
Underlying all of the surface conflict is the fact that there are two religions at war with each other over territory and power, “Judaism” and Islam. There are many similarities between the two religions. I find that Islam was not in existence, as such, until many centuries after the New Testament history, and that it has taken much of its teachings from the Talmud of the "Jews." However, the religion called “Judaism” today is the direct offshoot of the Pharisaism of the New Testament and can therefore be judged by the Biblical record.

     Their “traditions” were strongly condemned by Jesus. These “traditions” were what they called the “oral law,” which they declared to have been given to Moses on Sinai orally and passed down orally to them. They teach that the “oral law” was superior to the written law of the Bible. Jesus strongly and firmly refuted their doctrines by saying: “It is written….” After the New Testament era, they put their “oral law” into writing in what is known as the Talmud. They consider their Talmud to be their sacred Scriptures.To judge their case, you should know what the Talmud says.
      Here is what their Rabbis have to say about it as quoted from the website www.come-and-hear.com.

:
      “We are proud to bring you four avenues of research into the Babylonian Talmud — the Jewish Book of Oral Law.
      “In ancient Israel, traditional laws were passed down by word of mouth from teacher to student, from one generation of Sages to the next. The Oral Law was the traditional learning of the Pharisees, a religious sect and political party. The Sadducees were the religious and political rivals of the Pharisees. The Pharisees eventually committed Oral Law to writing sometime between two thousand and fifteen hundred years ago.
      “The Oral Law can now be found in the Talmud, which contemporary rabbis tell us is the primary book of law for Jews. Contemporary rabbis are directly attuned with the Pharisees of Jesus' time through long and intensive study of the Pharisaic teachings in the Talmud.
      "The Talmud is, then, the written form of that which in the time of Jesus, was called the Traditions of the Elders." — Rabbi Michael L. Rodkinson
     “and
      "The Jewish religion as it is today traces its descent, without a break, through all the centuries, from the Pharisees." — Universal Jewish Encyclopedia”
 
     Knowing what their Talmud teaches, we have a reference to the Biblical account of the Pharisees of the New Testament. Jesus pronounced “woe” upon them in Matthew 23; Luke 12:1; and many other references too numerous to mention.
      Until you have seen their doctrines, you have not heard their case and so are not yet qualified to make a righteous judgment. Since Jesus' judgment of them is recorded for us in Matthew 23, I believe Jesus. I choose to believe Jesus. He is the Righteous Judge.

PROPAGANDA LESSON 3: THE VICTIM MENTALITY OF JEWISH PROPAGANDA

     Jewish propaganda would insinuate that the "Jews" are a poor, persecuted, innocent, threatened people that we should pity, defend, and support. They have used the "Holocaust" as evidence of it and an excuse for their current atrocities as if they were justifiable revenge and defense. 
THE HOLOCAUST AS A PROPAGANDA WEAPON?
     Does the Holocaust of the 1940’s entitle the “Jews” of today to impose a holocaust upon the Palestinians who had no part in their tribulations during World War II? Jewish propaganda would have us feel so very sorry for these poor victims of the Holocaust that we allow and even aid them in the holocaust they are now imposing, in our generation.

World War II (WWII) was a terrible tragedy when millions of innocent people suffered and were killed. One is too many; however, according to extensive research more than sixty million people died, of which, it is commonly reported that between five and six million of them were “Jews.” (For a full, documented account of research on WWII casualties see www.wickipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_casualties#Holocaust_deaths.)

Yet, because of the Jewish propaganda, many Christians see the Holocaust as being only the Jewish deaths. Numerous books, movies, speeches, sermons, and advertisements have been put out by the media, entertainment world, political speech, and travel ads regarding the Jews who were killed. Is it of no consequence that another fifty million or so people were also killed? Is it true that “only Jews are men” and the rest of those who died are only so many animals or vermin? I, myself, suffered from the horrors of WWII; my only brother, only son of my widowed mother, was killed.

I repeat, “One death of an innocent person is too many.” Yet, to prevent innocent deaths, are we to go to war and cause more deaths? Who is entitled to ‘revenge’? Should revenge be against innocent people? Does the suffering of Jews during WWII entitle them to inflict suffering, destruction and death upon the Palestinians, and ask the US of A and the United Nations to uphold them in their crimes? Does two ‘wrongs’ make a ‘right’? Propaganda would have us think so. 
 WERE THE JEWS VICTIMS OF PERSECUTION IN HISTORY?
Another propaganda weapon they use is that they have been hated, abused, and persecuted throughout history. The truth is that the persecution of the Church in the New Testament was from the Pharisees, sometimes referred to as “the Jews.” Modern “Jews” boast that their doctrine is that of the Pharisees of the New Testament.
 Jewish propaganda today would have us believe that the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD was because the Jews were innocent victims of anti-Semitic hatred! However, Luke 18:3-8, the parable of the unjust judge, teaches us that the Christians are to be avenged “speedily.” Luke 21:32-33: “Verily I say unto you, ‘This generation shall not pass away till all be fulfilled. (33) Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away.’” 
In context, Luke 21:22 refers to the destruction of Jerusalem as God's vengeance for their persecution of the Christians. 
Did it happen? Yes. The destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD was the fulfillment of Christ’s words upon that wicked city for its crimes against Christ and His followers. God avenged His people, the Christians.
 The TRUTH is what God says: “’Vengeance belongeth unto Me, I will recompense, saith the Lord.’ And again, ‘The Lord shall judge His people,’” Hebrews 10:30, quoting from Deuteronomy 32:35-36. “Rejoice, O ye nations, with His people: for He will avenge the blood of His servants, and will render vengeance to His adversaries, and will be merciful unto His land, and to His people,” Deuteronomy 32:35-36.

In the New Testament, we are taught: “Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written; ‘Vengeance is Mine, I will repay, saith the Lord. (20)Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him, if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. (21) Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good,” Romans 12:19-21. War is succumbing to that low level of evil that the “Jews” practice and only achieves a vicious cycle of violence and more violence.
THE POOR "LOST TEN TRIBES"?
Also, Jewish propaganda would have us believe that the Biblical history of the destruction of the ten-tribe nation was because of anti-Semitic hatred. They pretend that the ten-tribes are still in existence, but are “lost,” the “Lost Ten Tribes of Israel,” which they pretend they have found and are now begging for the Christians to help these poor people “return” to “Israel.” 
However, the Biblical record shows that those ten tribes, called “Israel,” were destroyed because of their sins, and that God Himself allowed their enemies to take them captive in about 722-3 BC. Read II Kings chapters 9-17 for the Biblical history of this event. 
(II Kings chapters 18-19 show that the two-tribe nation called “Judah” escaped the power of the Assyrians at that time, but were later taken captive also by the Babylonians because of their sins, II Kings 24:3, although a remnant of them returned from that captivity.) 

Amos prophesied to the nation, Israel, at that period in history. He recorded their final destruction: Amos 5:1-2: “Hear ye this word which I take up against you, even a lamentation, O house of Israel. (2) The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is forsaken upon her land; there is none to raise her up.” Their day of final judgment came and in Amos 8:2b we have this pronouncement: “Then said the Lord unto me, ‘The end is come upon My people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more.”

And in the historical record we find an account of their wickedness and its result: II Kings 17:18-20: “Therefore the Lord was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of His sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only. (19) Also Judah kept not the commandments of the Lord their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made. (20) And the Lord rejected all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until He had cast them out of His sight.” Verse 23: “Until the Lord removed Israel out of His sight, as He had said by all His servants the prophets. So was Israel carried away out of their own land to Assyria unto this day.”

The Truth is that the Biblical account shows that they were racially assimilated with the Assyrians and became known as the “Samaritans” in the New Testament era. They lost their racial identity. The Pharisees did not consider them a part of their nation any longer. 
The propaganda that these “Lost Tribes” have been found in Ethiopia is not true. They are not “Jesus brethren,” and therefore not worthy of aid to “return” to the land of Palestine, for there is no Biblical record that they were ever there. Helping the poor is praiseworthy, but not because they are the "Lost Ten Tribes."

Jesus warned: “Take heed that no man deceive you,” Matthew 24:4. A wise man has said that the first casualty of war is Truth. The history of the use of propaganda verifies the truth of this statement.

PROPAGANDA LESSON 2: DEIR YASSIN REMEMBERED

PROPAGANDA LESSON 2: DEIR YASSIN REMEMBERED
On April 9, 1948, "Jewish" terrorist gangs attacked the village of Deir Yassin in Palestine, not far from Jerusalem. They were called the Stern Gang and the Irgun Gang which was headed by Menachim Begin. By noon that day 200 villagers had been systematically murdered. Some of the victims were paraded through the streets of Jerusalem and some of the orphans from this slaughter had been bussed into Jerusalem and dumped on the street. This horrible debacle was publicized throughout the land causing more than 700,000 Palestinians to flee in terror into neighboring countries where they were forced into refugee camps and never yet allowed to return to their land. 
      Through their use of propaganda published in the US of A and Europe, these terrorists have convinced many "Christians" that their cause was just and even ordained and approved of God. One of their false slogans was "A land without a people for a people without a land."

PROPAGANDA LESSON 1: WHAT IS 'PROPAGANDA'?



PROPAGANDA LESSON 1: WHAT IS PROPAGANDA?
“The fact is that propaganda is to Democracies what violence is to Dictatorships.
Propaganda, the calculated manipulation of public opinion to serve political and ideological interests, is pervasive. We are also exposed to commercial propaganda: Marketing and Advertising.
Propaganda aims to do other people’s thinking for them.
Propaganda today has moved into prop-agenda, not only controlling what we think, but how we think, and what we think about.”
“Propaganda uses highly selective images, devious and prejudicial language. Dubious linkages, confusing issues and distorting reality with disinformation, is a daily reality.
- See more at: http://reformationsa.org/index.php/history/175-how-propaganda-changes-perceptions-and-people#sthash.e4Gg6Xsg.dpufhanges perceptions and people. Propaganda kills.
The Truth Sets Free”
“That is why it is absolutely essential that we know the truth of history to recognize the lies of propaganda. We need to study the truth in the Bible so that we can be freed from the deceptions of the world.
"And ye shall know the Truth and the Truth shall make you free," John 8:32.
At His trial before Pilate, Jesus said: "Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice," John 18:38. Pilate answered Him by saying: "What is truth?" Like Pilate, it is sometimes hard to determine what is the truth of conflicting reports, opinions, and spirits. At an earlier setting, Jesus had answered His disciples questions by saying: “I am the way, the Truth and the Life, no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me," John 14:6.  We can safely rely on the fact that Jesus is The Truth.  The Bible is the Word of God: “Thy Word is Truth,” John 17:17.
     There are so many voices from so many sources today that we must learn to discern the Truth from the propaganda that is so prevalent and even overwhelming. We can judge between these by reference to the Word of God, Jesus is the Living Word. We also have the entire Biblical record to depend upon for accurate knowledge.
