Israel, beware of Obama’s Iran deal
Obama’s defense of his framework with Tehran is illogical, and American platitudes for Jerusalem may yet revert to accusations of warmongering.

It is obviously refreshing to hear solicitude for Israel oozing from U.S. President Barack Obama in his interview with New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, in contrast to his nastiness following Netanyahu‘s election win. Gone were the accusations that Israel spied on the negotiations with Iran and gave the information to the enemy – U.S. Congress. Gone, too, were the trumped-up charges of Israel stealing nuclear material. Obama even warned Iran not to mess with Israel, which would have been reassuring had Obama’s director of National IntelligenceJames Clapper not removed Iran and Hezbollah from the terror threat list after the latest assault on Israel’s Golan Heights by these reformed citizens and indirect beneficiaries of American intelligence.

Happy Purim !! – Meridel is Traveling to Kathmandu, Nepal to reflect on her past with old friends from 46 years ago
God willing tomorrow, I will fly to Nepal on a film expedition with our sons David and Chris. We plan to retrace some of my steps of 46 years ago. Kathmandu was ruled by a god-King in those days. I remember, friends and I had enjoyed a sumptuous dinner at the famous Yak and Yeti Hotel. While relaxing in the lounge around the circular fire place we met mountain climbers and tiger hunters. It was a time when such hunting was permissible. A very sophisticated evening unexpectedly turned into a Divine encounter in the Spirit of God. I will tell it all on camera. The result was “my eyes were opened and I realized as never before, truths about the Lord God of Israel.
Evangelical Christians Release Historic Statement Regarding Sexual Abuse in the Church
Recent allegations of child sexual abuse and cover-up relating to Sovereign Grace Ministries, and the subsequent public statements made regarding this tragic situation have distressed and alienated many professing Christians. On July 17, 2013, individuals representing a wide spectrum of evangelical Christendom have joined together and released a powerful public statement entitled, A Public Statement Regarding Sexual Abuse in the Church of Jesus Christ (included below).
