At 11AM on 25 April 2001, the sirens sounded throughout Israel. Every Israeli stood still for two minutes of silence remembering all the soldiers who have died in the wars which the Arabs have conducted against Israel. Besides those killed there are thousands who have been wounded including 83,962 who are totally incapacitated. In Israel today there are hundreds of thousands of families who lost sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, fathers and mothers in these wars. Many very young children were orphaned. Thousands of civilians were also killed.

Everyone in the world should know that this is a terrible price for a small nation to pay. These are the people of G-d who were chosen by Him for a godly mission and over the last 53 years have paid a terrible price in blood all because the nations did not want to accept the State of Israel. Then Jewish people were regathered by G-d to the land which He promised to them where they can live in safety under the protection of the G-d of Israel. Now again, the 21 Arab states, Arafat and his PLO, Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists, and the so-called “Palestinians” want to conduct another genocide against Israel and destroy the nation. Only a few days ago we received an e-mail from an Arab who wrote what we hear repeatedly from them:

“God will gather all of you Jews in Palestine, so that we Muslims will slaughter you like the pigs & monkeys that you are …”

I quote these terrible words to bring to the attention of everyone in the world the nature of the enemies that Israel has faced for such a long time. They are terribly deluded. 8

God gave Israel the land in an eternal covenant to establish His kingdom here, to build His house in Jerusalem and to make Jerusalem the capital of Israel. G-d will use Israel to redeem all mankind, including the Arabs. They are making a terrible mistake when they refuse to learn from the experience of all the enemies of Israel, which were judged by G-d and have disappeared from history. G-d blessed the Arabs with 21 large countries, more than 650 million square kilometers, and that is not enough for them. They want to take away from Israel the small land which G-d gave to them for a godly purpose. They will never accept Israel. When they speak about a false peace, they intend to take the small land of Israel piece by piece. On this Memorial Day, we said they have no chance to defeat Israel. G-d is determined to redeem the people and land of Israel. The people of Israel and her messengers of The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement are engaged in a difficult struggle to make this vision of the G-d and people of Israel, a reality. We know that G-d is fighting for us in all the battles exactly as He promised: “Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle” (Zechariah 14:3). 9
