Why I used to hate Israel – confessions of an Irish film-maker

editor 25 April 2012

I used to hate Israel. I used to think the Left was always right. Not any more. Now I loathe Palestinian terrorists. Now I see why Israel has to be hard. Now I see the Left can be Right — as in right-wing. So why did I change my mind so completely? Strangely, it began with my anger at Israel’s incursion into Gaza in December 2008 which left over 1,200 Palestinians dead, compared to only 13 Israelis. I was so angered by this massacre I posed in the striped scarf of the Palestinian Liberation Organisation for an art show catalogue. (more…)

Who is in control of world history? God or man?

Andrew Tucker 30 November 2011

Collapse of the euro, Arab Spring, the rise of extreme Islam, global warming ….. Are we heading for disaster? As Christians we are faced with a fundamental choice. We are inclined to forget that God created this world, and that He is in full control of its redemption. Sometimes with good intentions, sometimes through ignorance, we think that WE have to redeem the world, and save it from destruction. But there is another way of looking at things. And that is to study God’s word and discover how HE intends to fulfil His promise to Abraham – “I will make you a great nation, and I will bless you … and all peoples of the earth will be blessed through you”. A new documentary series produced by Hatikvah Trust and presented by Lance Lambert is intended to help us discover God’s plans to save this earth. (more…)

The end of Israel?

editor 16 August 2011

by Giulio Meotti….How can a tiny nation, hated wherever it resides, possibly survive? This has been the paramount question governing Jewish life for two millennia. During Israel’s War of Independence in 1948, the country lost more than 6,000 of her finest soldiers, which was 1 percent of her total population, the equivalent of 3 million losses pro-rated for America’s population. A devastating start on the road of independence. (more…)
