Subject:  ISRAEL BEGINS WAKING UP. SEEKS "LOST TRIBES" OF EPHRAIM TO OFFSET
GROWING ARAB POPULATIONS

Finding "Lost Jews"

Michael Freund
17 September 2001 

As if listening to the latest news bulletins were not depressing enough, Israelis are now being warned once again that the demographic
balance between Jews and Arabs in coming decades is looking increasingly bleak. Projections recently presented to the Knesset show
that Arabs may outnumber Jews within pre-1967 Israel as soon as the year 2035 (The Jerusalem Post, August 6). 

Demography is hardly the most reliable of sciences, as it is nearly impossible to foretell future events such as mass human migrations or
natural disasters, all of which obviously affect the statistical models involved. However, Israeli policy-makers would be ill-advised
to overlook such dire warnings about the fate of Israel's Jewish majority. Indeed, it seems fair to say that aside from the danger
posed by non-conventional weapons in the hands of Israel's neighbors, the issue of demography might very well be the greatest threat to the
future of Israel as a Jewish state. As the percentage of Jews continues to decline, it will grow increasingly difficult for Israel,
as a democracy, to ignore mounting calls by its Arab minority for cultural autonomy and perhaps even self-rule. If the day were to come
when Arab Israelis could elect more representatives to the Knesset than Jewish Israelis, the Jewish identity of the State would be in
grave doubt. 

To their credit, leading Israeli public figures are no longer remaining silent about the issue. On his visit last week to Russia,
Prime Minister Sharon called upon world Jewry to immigrate to Israel, stressing the vital need for mass aliyah as a way of bolstering the
State's Jewish population. Jewish Agency Chairman Salai Meridor has also sounded the alarm, as have various other politicians and
academics. 

As the pool of potential immigrants from the former Soviet Union begins to shrink, and with mass aliyah from the West not yet in the
offing, it is hard to see how such traditional calls for immigration will have any real or lasting impact on the situation. World Jewry is
simply not rushing to move to Israel. While Israel must certainly continue to promote aliyah, both as a means of achieving personal
Zionist and Jewish fulfillment and as a national responsibility, it must also begin to think more creatively about how to address the
ongoing erosion in the country's Jewish demographic profile. 

The fact is that there are plenty of people out there in the big wide world who would like to move to Israel. The problem is that most of
them are not Jewish. While many are no doubt motivated by economic reasons, there are countless others who are sincere in their desire to
be Jews and it is incumbent upon Israel to at least explore the possibilities that such populations present. 

In northeastern India, for example, there are 5,000 members of the Shinlung tribe (referred to as Bnei Menashe because of their claim to
descent from a lost tribe of Israel) who have been living observant Jewish lives for some two decades and anxiously wish to immigrate to
Israel. In recent years, some 600 Bnei Menashe have made aliyah and undergone formal conversion by Israel's Chief Rabbinate. They serve in
the army, lead religious Jewish lives and work as productive members of society. Shouldn't those still in India be given a similar
opportunity? 

Other groups, such as the Lemba tribe of southern Africa and the Abayudaya of Uganda, also assert a desire to tie their fate with that
of the people of Israel, as have other far-flung groups in countries as diverse as Peru, Mexico and Japan. 

In recent years, untold numbers of Crypto-Jews (descendants of Marrano Jews who were forcibly converted in Spain and Portugal in the late
15th century), have begun returning to Judaism throughout Central and South America and the United States. Receiving little in the way of
encouragement or support from the organized Jewish community, these people are heroically trying to rejoin the Jewish people and more
needs to be done to help them. 

This is not to suggest that Israel should become a missionary state, seeking to convert the entire world to Judaism, for such an approach
is contrary to Jewish tradition. Yet, if there are various groups who have already taken the first step and demonstrated a genuine and
heartfelt commitment to Judaism and Israel, then why should they be overlooked or ignored? 

Seeking out "lost Jews" and returning them to the fold is obviously no easy task, for it would require a careful screening process to ensure
the sincerity of those involved. Fidelity to the principles of Halacha is a must, for anything less than a traditional, authentic conversion
would only raise additional problems for both Israel and the converts themselves. But rather than neglecting these people, it is time for
Israel to start reaching out to them, assessing their claims to Jewish ancestry and acting to help those worthy of assistance. The various
organs of the State, such as the Jewish Agency, the Chief Rabbinate and the Foreign Ministry, need to look more carefully at this issue
and give it serious consideration. For a country struggling to find potential new sources of immigration, groups such as the Bnei Menashe
and others like them might very well provide the answer.

Subject: Mount Seir Attacks

 MOUNT SEIR ATTACKS!

As you [Mt. Seir] did rejoice at the inheritance of the House of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto you... (Ezek. 35:15)

 The last few days have left me largely in shock and so I have posted almost nothing.

But now I would like to share with you my understanding of recent events as they relate to prophecy.

...  the USA may have some place in prophecy.

 After the time of Solomon the Kingdom of Isreal split into two kingdoms known as the two Houses of Israel. The Southern Kingdom
became known as the Kingdom of Judah. The Northern Kingdom became known as the Kingdom of Israel. This Northern Kingdom was also often
called "Ephraim" after its most promenant tribe. 2Kings 17 tells us of how the Assyrian kiing Sargon II took the ten tribes of the
Northern Kingdom captive in 723 BCE and resettled them so that "none was left except the tribe of Judah" (17:18). These came to be known
as "the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel". They were divorced by YHWH (Jer. 3:8 ) but there was yet a promise of an eventual reunion of the two
houses of Israel ( Is. 11:11-12; Jer. 3:6-18; Hosea 1-3; Amos 9:8-10; Obad. 15-21; Micah 2:12-13; 5:3-15; Zech. 8:13; 9 & 10;
Ezekiel 34-37 esp. 37 ).

 Part of the reason that the split took place is that Ephraim would not be under the authority of Judah. As a result they rebeled and
established their own authority, their own priests and their own sanctuary. They also mixed the true religion of Torah with paganism.

 Recently research has been conducted by Orthodox Jewish Israeli scholars which traces the migrations of these Lost Ten Tribes. Two
of these scholars are John Hulley (Yochanan ben David) and Yair Davidy.

 John Hulley recently published a paper in the Israeli journal B'Or Ha'Torah (In the light of Torah) in which he traced the migrations of these
"Lost Tribes" north west, accross the Bosphorus straits between the Mediturnian and the Black sea.

 Yair Davidy has written three books under the Rabbinic approbation of Orthodox Israeli Rabbi Abraham Feld. These are The Tribes;
Ephraim and Lost Israelite Identity. Yair Davidy's thouroughly documented research has shown that the Lost Ten Tribes, which had
been transplanted to the outskirts of Assyria came to be known as the Sakeans (they were previously known as Yitzakheans or in Aramaic
Isakeans). These Sakeans are known to have migrated northwest and made their way into Europe to become the Scythians (S'kitheans) and Saxons
(Saksons). Davidy's research has shown that other tribal groups of the Lost Ten Tribes also emerged in Europe under names similar to
those of the Tribe of Israel, such as: Galics (Galileans); Danes (Dans); Cimereans (Simeons); Goths/Gots (Gads "Gad" is pronounced in
Hebrew as "God").

 Dr. James Tabor of the Universtity of North Carolina has said:

 Based on this and much additional research it can be definitely be shown that significant portions of
the Lost Tribes migrated northwest, toward Europe and are to be found today among the Anglo-Saxon-Celtic
and associated peoples. In other words the tribes are largely located today in the United States, Great Britain,
northwestern Europe, Australia, New Zealand and other scattered areas. They are primarily Protestant...
(Restoring Abrahamic Faith; James Tabor; page 46)

 Dr. Tabor has also said:

 This is not the so-called "Anglo-Israel" theory of many of the racist groups. This is hard-core historical
research as to where these tribes actually migrated. (Remarks on the Return of the Lost Tribes; James Tabor)

 As these Ephraimites migrated northwest into Europe they brought their pagan gods and goddesses with them. Thus the Babylonian
goddess Ishtar became the Anglo-Saxon goddess Eostre and Ba'al Gad became "God" . They worshiped these pagan gods in temples they
called "KIRKS" .

 These same people eventually became Christians. Pope Gregory wrote to Augustine the first missionary to the British Isles (C.E. 597):

 Do not destroy the temples of the English gods; change them to Christian churches. Do not forbid the "harmless" customs
which have been associated with the old religions; consecrate them to Christian use ...

 If this is the case then the USA is now the "Super Power" primary nation of the House of Israel. Now don't think this is rediculous. 
Just follow the logic here.

 Now Ezekiel 37:15-21 the "two sticks prophecy" is certainly one of the most powerful images of the reunion of the Two Houses of Israel and it is
important to note that in this section of Ezekiel the Two Houses of Israel are dealt with as separate entities: the House of
Israel,/Ephraim and the House of Judah.

But these two Houses are not without an adversery.

Ezekiel 34:1-10 speaks of how the House of Israel is deceived by false shepherds (pastors) and contrasts this with the true shepherd
(34:11-31)

Then we read about Mt. Seir/Idumea: (Esau's descendants) the Arab Islamic World: Ezek. 35:3,-S; 10,12; 36: 2,3,5.  Mt. Seir hates both
of the Two Houses of Israel (Ezek. 35:10-11) and expresses this hate in attacks on two nations or two "countries":

Because you have said:  These two nations And these two countries shall be mine, And we will possess it; whereas YHWH was there. (Ezek. 35:10)

This is reflected by the Quran which says:

O you who believe!  Take not the Jews and Christians for friends.  They are friends one to another.
He among you who takes them for friends is one of them. Lo!  Allah guides not these wrongdoing people.
(Quran; Surah 5:51 (see all of 5:51-74))

According to Ezekiel this enemy will say in sarcasm:

"These are the people of YHWH, and are gone forth out of this land" (Ezek. 36:20)

And the Quran predicts of Islam:

Then will the believers [of Isalm] say (unto the people of the Scripture): Are these they who swore by Allah with their most
binding oaths that they were surely with you?  Their works have failed, and they have become losers. (Quran; Surah 5:53)

These passages follow portions of the Quran which call for violence against non-Muslims including calls to execute those who oppose Islam or to
cut off their hands and feet  (Surah 5:33, 49; see also 8:59; 9:5, 73)

Mt. Seir attack's the Children of Israel while they are yet in their iniquity and in calamity (Ezek. 35:5).  Mt. Seir REJOICES at the
desolation inflicted on the House of Israel (Ezek. 35:15; 36:3).  

One can picture them rejoicing at the devistation, dancing in the streets and handing out candy!

YHWH promises that He will make Mt. Seir desolate!   Because Mt. Seir did not hate bloodshed, YHWH will give them bloodshed! (Ezek.
35:6. 14).

Mt. Seir's attacks on both nations (35:10) may bring them closer together and may relate in part to their reunion in Ezekiel 37:15-19.

Mt. Seir's hatred for "two countries" may just bring those two countries together closer than they have ever been before and
perhaps even foreshadow the actual reunion of the two Houses of Israel!

Subject: Gematria of 5762 points to reclaiming Tomb of Joseph, closer ties between State of Israel and US; Joseph in role as "battle-axe"

Tonight (Monday September 17), we begin the two-day celebration commemmorating the Creation of Adam. By some accounts this begins the
5,762nd year since Adam was created. By credible adjustments to that accounting, (see Encyclopedia Judaica article on Seder Olam and
www.torahvoice.org/6000.htm) we begin the 6,002nd year. If the latter, since Hashem promised mankind only 6,000 years, we begin our second
year on "borrowed time." ...

It is our custom at this time every year to relate the gematria for the coming year and any insights this yields from the Torah.

In calculating the gematria for a new Jewish year, it is customary to
drop the THOUSANDTHS column, so our relevant gematria is "762."  In
Hebrew 762 is designated TAV-SHIN-SAMEK-BET (400 + 300 + 60 + 2).

This combination of letters in that specific order spells no
recognizable Hebrew word. However, the mystic sages would often
PERMUTE letters, as though one was chewing on a word and in the
process the letters would rearrange themselves (like a kosher animal
would chew its cud and the mass of the cud would be rearranged when it
would be regurgitated from its stomache).

Two permutations come immediately to mind. One is the combination of
SHIN-TAV and SAMEK-BET. SHIN-TAV is "a lamb of" and SAMEK-BET is
"grandfather" so together, the combination means "grandfather's lamb."

The second permutation is the combination of SHIN-BET, which either
means "sit" or is the abbreviation for the "name of Israel's secret
police," and SAMEK-TAV, which is the verb for "foment." So we have
either a reference to something "sitting and fomenting" or the
"fomenting of Israel's Secret Police." The combination SHIN-BET is
also an abbreviated form of the very SHUV, which means "to return" but
this is usually spelled SHIN-VOV-BET. But in the latter case we would
have a reference to a "return being fomented."

Finally, we have a combination of SHIN-BET-TAV or "Shabbat" and the
letter SAMEK, which would designate the number 60 or the "60th
Shabbat."  Perhaps this could relate to something that might transpire
on the 60th rest day of the year counting the two rest days of Rosh
Hashanah, the one of Yom Kippur, the two for Succot and the two for
Passover and one for Shavuot. Since there are usually no more than 54
ordinary Shabbats (Saturdays) in any Hebrew year, this could allude to
something that might transpire at the very END of 5762.

Exactly what "grandfather's lamb" or the "fomenting of the Shin-Bet"
could mean, I have my own opinions about but will hold them in reserve
for now.

It is customary when interpreting gematria (numeric substitions for
Hebrew letters), to examine other words or phrases, especially in the
Torah that have the same gematria.

In the Torah, we have four such words.  TIKBREINI "Bury me" in Genesis
47:29; V'ARAFTO "axe the back of his neck" NOTE, this word also
containes the proper name for ARAFAT or is literally interpreted "and
his Arafat"; V'TIKREINAH "now that befell or call out to" in Leviticus
10:19 and SHABATCHEM "your rest (on Yom Kippur)" in Leviticus 23:32.

It would also be permitted to permute the letters of these words, so
for instance SHABATCHEM becomes BAT SHECHEM or perhaps BEIT SHECHEM
"daughter of Shechem or House of Shechem."

IMMEDIATELY the latter brings to mind the TOMB OF JOSEPH in Shechem or
the Arab village of Nablus, which was desecrated immediately before
Succot last year and converted into a Moslem mosque ...

It seems imperative that the Tomb of Joseph be reclaimed and with the
gematria of 762, Hashem may be indicating that something significant
will transpire there in the coming year.

The reference to Genesis 47:29 above is Jacob's plea to Joseph that he
(Joseph) NOT allow him (Jacob) to be buried in Egypt so the burial
referred to is the tomb of Jacob at the cave of the Patriarchs
(Machpelah) in Hebron. The fact that Jacob BEGS Joseph not to do so,
may indicate some entreaty by the House of Jacob currently living in
Israel toward the House of Joseph still in exile, (at least we can
hope). By the spiritual principle of M'dah K'negged M'dah (what goes
around comes around or whatever a man sows that he also shall reap),
JOSEPH has merited some consideration for his final resting place. I
personally "hear" Joseph BEGGING for the mosque that is built there to
be torn down and Torah study there reinstated.

Twice in the Torah, in fact, twice in the book of Exodus, (in Exodus
13:13 and again in Exodus 34:20) we find exactly the same Hebrew
expression: IM LO TIFDEH V'ARAFTO "if you do not redeem it, you shall
axe the back of its neck." This is a very curious phrase. It refers to
the redemption of a "firstborn," donkey. In chapter 13 the command is
followed by a command to redeem every BECHOR ADAM B'NEICHAH "firstborn
ADAM of your sons." In chapter 34 the command is to redeem every
BECHOR B'NEICHAH "firstborn of your sons." In Chapter 34, the
reference is sandwiched between passing references to the Shabbat and
the THREE major festivals, Passover, Shavuot and Succot (the Feast of
Tabernacles). Rabbi Bachya wrote that the sages believe this
commandment is mentioned in conjunction with the Shabbat and Festivals
because the FIRSTBORN "who are redeemed can receive God's Presence and
see the rebuilt Temple." We would add that this FIRSTBORN would be
commited to the observance of Shabbat and the Festivals.

As we learn in Genesis 48, JOSEPH's son EPHRAIM is given the blessing
of the BIRTHRIGHT, which was synonymous with the FIRSTBORN at that
time. NOTE: As we have submitted continually, the BIRTHRIGHT blessing
in no way supplants the authority of JUDAH (the Jewish people). It is
merely a means for Hashem to fulfill the promise of myriads of myriads
of thousands of descendants of Israel through the assimilation of the
Northern Kingdom into Gentile nations, lands, ethnicities and
cultures. However, note that in Genesis 48, ONLY JOSEPH is given
SHECHEM and therefore ONLY JOSEPH or at least JOSEPH in conjunction
with JUDAH will be able to RETAKE Shechem and hold it.

But to return to the point at hand. If I may restate substituting an
ARABIC term to illustrate the ongoing INTIFADAH (Palestinian uprising)
and how it directly challenges the right of the FIRSTBORN of Joseph.

The verb TIFDEH as in IM LO TIFDEH V'ARAFTO "if you do not redeem it"
forms the ROOT of the Arabic term "inTiFaDaH." So, I would conclude
from this that the Jewish state of Israel has a choice: Either allow
the Return of the House of Joseph (the FIRSTBORN according to Hashem),
to their biblical inheritances in the northern two-thirds of the
unannexed territories OR IF NOT (endure) "TiFDeH v'ARaFaT"(more
INTIFADA AND ARAFAT). I suspect that in 5762, this choice will become
more and more clear as is already being indicated. (See below)

The Midrash relates an interesting oral tradition that the last rule
of Torah which Jacob related to his son, Joseph before he sent Joseph
to Shechem to find his brothers related to the EGLAH ARUFAH "the
beheaded heifer." When a man was found slain in the field, the elders
of the city closest to the scene of the crime would be required to
"behead a heifer." The plural of the Hebrew word EGLAH, (calf or
heifer) is spelled exactly the same but pronounced differently
(AGALOT) than the word for "wagons." Joseph apparently noted this
difference, as the tradition goes, the last time he was with his
father in Hebron before being sent to Shechem. As a sign to his father
Jacob, that it was indeed Joseph who was still alive in Egypt, Joseph
had WAGONS delivered to his father. The Torah alludes to this by
stating that the wagons actually ordered sent by Pharoah were the
"AGALOT that JOSEPH sent." After seeing these wagons, the Torah says
Jacob's spirit -- which had subsided from the time he learned of
Joseph's apparent death by goring -- was revived.  This was also a
subtle signal to his father that he held none of his brothers
responsible especially if the 10 she-donkeys and 10 he-donkeys were
accompanied by a similar number of wagons. Remember that Benjamin
remained behind in Egypt.

I see in this story the prophetic analogy of the RETURN of the 10
Tribes as opposed to more of ARAFAT (beheading), the choice again, up
to the secular and/or religious leadership of Judah.

In Leviticus 10:19, a dispute arose between Moses and Aaron. Aaron and
his sons Elazar and ITAMAR were obligated to "eat the sin offering"
but Aaron had just lost his two sons, Nadav and Avihu, who had offered
strange incense in the Tabernacle and died. Because of the things that
had "befallen him" or "called to him" (literally) he did not have the
requisite joy to properly eat the offering, even though he had
observed Hashem's command not to defile himself. The phrase TIKRA'NAH
with the gematria 762 may indicate bad tidings coming the way of the
State of Israel in 5762 but I also note that ITAMAR, which is one of
the most vulnerable settlements in the Shomron, (the inheritance of
the House of Joseph) to the east of Shechem and which is surrounded by
Palestinian villages, was SAVED ...

The word SHABBATCHEM (Your Shabbat -- of Yom Kippur) in Leviticus
23:32 seems to have special signficance for the Great Day of Atonement
beginning the evening of the 27th of September. It will be exactly one
year to the day the next morning (September 28, 2000) since Ariel
Sharon and a delegation of the Likud ascended the Temple Mount.

We are still researching the phrases in the Torah with words whose
first and/or last letters begin and end with the letters
TAV-SHIN-SAMEK-BET (5762) for additional insights.  But I would like
to conclude this last report of 5761 with some additional comments
about the World Trade Center attack and its ramifications and conclude
with a prayer incorporating the insights above.

It is now "highly likely" and not just "possible" that "footprints"
leading from this attack will be traced to Hizbullah and Arafat's
Fatah. A U.S. Senator, Charles Grassley of Iowa, is already alleging
this publically and quoting "American Justice Department officials" as
telling him this.

If so, the United States may assume the leadership role in becoming
Hashem's "battle-axe" and "weapon of war" in  helping the Jewish state
retake the territories from the Palestinians as at least part of the
declared war on terrorism. Curiously that role -- "battle-axe" and
"weapon of war" is assigned in the Scripture exclusively to ISRAEL and
NOT to Judah.  In fact, when Hashem makes clear his separate dealings
with these two houses in Hosea 1:7, He says: (after pronouncing the
three judgments against the Northern Kingdom which scatter, remove
their mercy and their ties as a Covenant people):

"But I WILL have mercy upon the House of Judah (the Southern Kingdom),
and will save them by Hashem their God, and will NOT save them by BOW,
nor by SWORD, nor by BATTLE, by HORSES nor by HORSEMEN." That sounds
like if anything, Hashem would will -- as happened in the Gulf War
with Iraq when the "battle-axe" of the allied Nations fell against
Saddam -- that JUDAH should "stay out of the battle." ...

It is hard to dismiss the documented televised footage of thousands of
Palestinians chanting ALLAH AKBAR "God is great" and celebrating on
the streets of Nablus (Shechem) and in East Jerusalem by handing out
candy and cakes, dancing, jeering, honking their horns, flashing the
victory sign as we began counting our dead.

A very disturbing poll taken last November (about the time of my
second arrest), reported that 73% of the Palestinian population
supported "suicide missions" against U.S. targets, Americans and
American interests in the Middle East.  The poll conducted by the
Program for Educational Development at the Palestinian Beir Zet
University in Ramallah was reported in the Palestinian Authority-owned
daily, "Al Hayat Al Jadida," on November 11, 2000. Most alarming was
that a greater percentage (77 percent) of the better educated
academics favored attacks against American targets.

THERE SHOULD BE NO DOUBTING THE DEEP HATRED OF AMERICA BY THE
PALESTINIAN PEOPLE. It is no wonder since for years the same
Palestinian Authority the Cinton Administration so actively endorsed,
embraced and supported has actively promoted hatred of the U. S. in
the PA literature as "an imperialist, colonialist usurper of land and
human rights, enemy of the Arab world, killer of Arab children, and
supporter of Israel."

Here is an excerpt from a special news report from Jerusalem called
"Jihad in America":

"Yasser Arafat has repeatedly referred to Saddam Hussein as his
"brother" and has linked an Iraq victory over the US to a Palestinian
victory over Israel. During a period of US-Iraq tension, the editor of
the PA official daily wrote that America would pay for its war against
Iraq with "45,000 bodies of American soldiers [who] will return to the
US like airmail . The Arab mothers will not be the only ones
crying..." The PA Mufti has called for Allah [god] to destroy America
and "paint the White House black."

The special report also compiled the following selections from the
PA's official daily and other Palestinian press. Note that most were
published BEFORE the September 11 attack:

 1. "The suicide bombers of today are the noble successors of their
 noble predecessors...the Lebanese suicide bombers, who taught the US
 Marines a tough lesson in [Lebanon]... These suicide bombers are the
 salt of the earth, the engines of history...They are the most
 honorable [people] among us..." [Al Hayat Al Jadida - Official
 Palestinian Authority daily, Sept. 11, 2001]

 2. "[The Palestinians] must harm American interests in the Arab
 world, with all possible means, in all places, at all levels, because
 the United States does not understand the language of logic and
 wisdom, but only the language of interests and force."- (Omar Helm
 Ghul, Al-Ayyam, Aug. 30, 2001)

 3. "The Zionist Movement is an American invention...The American
 leaders are nothing but priests, obedient to their Hebrew High Priest
 ..." (Al-Ayyam, Sept. 2, 2001)

 4. "[Maher Taher] a member of the political bureau of the Popular
 Front for the Liberation of Palestine ... said in a press conference
 in Damascus: we say to the Arab nation:  "Hit American interests and
 threaten them. United States is a fundamental
 enemy which takes part and holds responsibility to the elimination of
 the Palestinian people and the Palestinian villages. He asked the
 Arab countries to take a clear and strict position towards USA, which is the a
 fundamental enemy of the Palestinian people and Arab Nation." [Al
 Hayat Al Jadida Aug. 28, 2001] ...

I hope and pray that somehow the White House will get the message that
a JIHAD has been declared against America and that it is IN FACT a
global threat to every American in the world and every American
interest, which is being fomented in every MOSQUE where radical
Islamic fundamentalists assemble. And this is their prayer:

"Oh Allah, destroy America, for she is ruled by Zionist Jews...  Allah
 will paint the White House black! ...  The Muslims say to Britain, to
 France and to all the infidel nations that Jerusalem is Arab. We
 shall not respect anyone else's wishes regarding her. The only
 relevant party is the Islamic nation, which will not allow infidel
 nations to interfere...  Allah shall take revenge on behalf of his
 prophet against the colonialist settlers who are sons of monkeys and pigs..." 
(Excerpts from the Friday sermon
 delivered by the PA-appointed "Mufti of Jerusalem and Palestine"
 Sheikh Ekrima Sabri at the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount on July
 11, 1997, broadcast over Voice of Palestine radio)

And my prayer for 5762 is that JUDAH will entreat JOSEPH, like Jacob
entreated him, that JUDAH will choose to redeem the firstborn to
citizenship in lieu of Arafat and his intifada, that the world will
have compassion on the State of Israel for the "things that have
befallen it," ...  and the House at Shechem (the Tomb of Joseph)
will be retaken as part of the global initiative of Hashem's
battle-axe falling on the heads of the radical Islamic world.
