AN OPEN LETTER TO PRIME MINISTER SHARON, PRESIDENT BUSH, AMERICA’S
CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIANS, AND OUR JEWISH FRIENDS - SAY “NO” TO DEPORTATION!
January 28, 2005
Greetings to you, Sirs, from Oklahoma City and from the Christian-Zionist
organization, “Yedidim of Israel.”
Sirs, the statistics recently released say 12 million evangelicals who did
not vote in 2000 voted in 2004 to provide Mr. Bush’s re-election.
Statistics also reveal there are 40 million people in America who call
themselves born-again Christians. These are folks who give testimony that
they have trusted the Savior.
Mr. Bush, you give testimony that you have trusted the Savior. Sir, we
Christian-Zionists owe the Jews an enormous debt. We owe them for the
Savior, for our Bible tells us that He was of the lineage of David. You and
I believe the Messiah has already come. The Jews do not believe that He has
come. However, that is beside the point for our concern relative to this
issue; for as Bible believers, we Christian-Zionists must urge our
President, who says he is born-again and who has that testimony relative to
the children of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to do exactly what the Bible
tells everyone to do.
Next, Sir, we owe them for the Holy Bible which the Jews received,
transcribed, preserved, and then passed on to us “hell-deserving sinners.”
Sir, even our first President, Mr. George Washington, obeyed the Holy
Bible, when it came to relations to the Jews, the sons of Abraham, Isaac,
and Jacob.
Because we owe the Jews, Sir, and because we know the Holy Bible, as Dr. J.
Frank Norris, pastor of First Baptist Church, Fort Worth, Texas, wrote
President Harry Truman in 1948, we best heed the warning of Joel 3:2: "I
will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of
Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my
heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my
land." Sirs, the word "parted" in Joel 3:2 means divided. America is not
going to come out on the winning side if we have anything to do with
“parting” or “dividing” the little land of Israel, which God Almighty gave
to the sons of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and not to the sons of Ishmael and
Esau. All one has to do to know this is to read the Bible. There are many,
many Scriptures teaching this. In Zechariah 12, the Holy Bible teaches how
God Almighty says He will make Jerusalem a “burdensome stone” for all the
nations which oppose her. When God first spoke to Abraham about the Jews as
a people (Abraham was a Gentile who became the father of the Jews.), God
told him: "And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that
curseth thee" (Genesis12:3, Genesis 27:29, Numbers 34:9).
America has to be very careful about this Road Map to Peace Plan which is
going to be the cause of Jews deporting Jews from their homes in the Gush
Katif and the Shomron.
We know that the vision is for two states, Israel and Palestine, living
side by side in peace and security, with new Palestinian leadership that
rejects terror, and for all leaders in the Middle East to reject terror and
meet their responsibilities for building a peaceful and prosperous region.
This entails security and peace for Israel, a viable and democratic
Palestinian state, and a just and comprehensive peace for the entire
region. Israel is by far America’s most effective and giving ally in the
world. Their military and computer technology - lasers and their pioneering
medical technology - keep America safe and bring the promise of restored
health and length of days to scores of millions of people. Yet our
government is not only showing indifference to these contributions to our
good but is pushing hard for the “deportation of Jews” from their homes in
Gaza and Shomron. This is “ethnic cleansing” of the worst sort; it is
“Kristallnacht” all over again. The result will be a “protected terror
base” for which the Islamic so-called “Palestinians” will reign mayhem on
the Israelis. While all this is happening, a seventeen-member delegation
from the port city of Long Beach, California, is in Israel learning how to
beef up our own security, given the ongoing terror situation launched by
the 9/11 terrorists attacks. We are learning from the Israelis, but at the
same time, our “Road Map Plan” is tying their hands behind their backs.
Mr. Bush, do you want history to write about you like it did Neville
Chamberlain?
Let me mention several things:
First, let us look at Israeli security.
America has been very concerned with “homeland security” since the 9-11
attacks and the Congressional hearings on that subject. But, Sirs, what
about the little nation of Israel?
The Arab world is presently made up of 22 countries containing nearly 5
million square miles and 144 million people. The wider Islamic world
contains 44 countries with more than 1 billion people. These Islamic states
comprise an area 672 times the size of Israel. The state of Israel with
about 5 million Jews would fit two times into our Lake Michigan. The Sinai
Desert, which Israel conquered from Egypt, then ceded back to Egypt after
the 1979 Treaty in exchange for vague and still unfilled promises of
friendship, is of itself three times larger than all of Israel.
What we see is that “Road Map - Disengagement - Deportation of Jews by
Jews” is a large segment of what will turn into a major strategic defeat
for Israel, just as their withdrawal from Lebanon did. The Jews know that
absconding from Lebanon was a strategic disaster. It served as the
inspiration and the model for subsequent terrorism in Judea, Samaria, and Gaza.
If Israel now leaves Gaza with their tails stuck between their legs (and
that is exactly how the so-called “Palestinians” will see it) and if they
dismantle the settlements in the Gush Katif and Shomron, then, Sir, the
nation of Israel will become the first democratic country to be defeated by
terrorism. Israel, with American backing, will return to the pre-1967
borders, and that will all be under so-called “Palestinian” fire — and that
will “unilaterally” be without any kind of Arab agreement.
Since we are talking about the so-called “Palestinian” people, let us look
at the facts regarding these so-called “Palestinians.” Prior to the 1967
Six Day War, no such people ever existed in the history of mankind. At the
end of the Six Day War, all those Arabs - Jordanians, Syrians, Egyptians,
et al - who were in what is called the West Bank and Gaza, suddenly became
“Palestinians.” This is the greatest fraud of the 20th Century. There has
never been a “Palestinian” people. There has never been nor is there
presently a “Palestinian” language. These people are Arabs, whose origin is
in the Arab countries surrounding the little nation of Israel. Mr. Yasser
Arafat, the inventor of using airplanes as a “terrorist weapon,” won the
hearts of the leftist news media by being able to portray the so-called
“Palestinians” as “David” and the military might of Israel as “Goliath.” It
is all a hoax. It is all a fraud. That is not politically correct even in
2005, but it is the truth.
If America or Israel is to be on the victorious side in this Islamic
Terrorism War, then truth is going to have to matter to us. In this regard,
we must face up to the truth. To deport Jews from land that God Almighty
gave to them, according to the Holy Bible, and that they won fair and
square in the Soviet-initiated - recently released documents from Soviet
archives show this very plainly - war with the Soviet-supplied Arab armies,
is unthinkable. We must face the truth in this matter.
Mr. Bush, you are a well-to-do boy from West Texas. I am just a poor-boy
from the Panhandle. But, this short, fat, bald-headed preacher has enough
“Panhandle sense” to see that this move will signify the success of
terrorism and guarantee its continuation within Israel by Israeli Arabs,
many of whom are already involved. We will cause the Jews to be surrounded
by “terrorist-protected bases” whose sole aim is “terrorism to destroy Israel.”
Then, the story of how Islamic terrorism defeated a strong, democratic
country will spread all over the globe, which will cause the “haters of
Jews and America” to get in line for their next whack upon us, causing
problems everywhere and severely weakening America’s opportunities for
success in Iraq, where our boys are dying daily.
Mr. Bush, we are not ceding territory to the Islamic terrorists in
Afghanistan or Iraq. Why should we be for the Jews doing that in Israel? It
just does not make sense, Sir!!!
Second, let us look at the immorality and illegality of “Jews deporting Jews.”
I was in Israel a few days ago when 40,000 of the settlers were there in
front of the Knesset in opposition to the “Deportation” Plan. I am not a
lawyer, but it seems to me that a state evicting people from their homes is
managing to elude the laws protecting honor and freedom, judgment of the
high court of justice, and of the media and public opinion. Israeli society
will be stripped of all of the morals it once held dear.
In a film that we cooperated with the Ariel Center for Policy Research and
had made while I was in Israel, several interviews were made with Israelis
who are to be “deported” from their homes. We are attempting to get as many
of the 7,640 churches aligned with us in “Yedidim of Israel” as we possibly
can to show this film in their church and then on television.
Sir, my old Texas dad used to say, “Jimmy, talk is cheap; it takes money to
buy whiskey.”
However, as I listen to these chosen ones of God, the ones God says plainly
are “the apple of His eye,” His “precious ones,” I do not think they are
speaking “cheaply.” What I expect is that the “deportation” scheme is going
to be one of the “ugliest scenes” unfolding for 2005. These folks probably
will not go peaceably and quietly. Mr. Bush, I could just see you giving
Gray County, Texas, to the Muslims. You would have more than you could say
grace over on your hands. If the Deportation Plan proceeds as is now
planned, I will make two predictions: First, Mr. Sharon, you will be voted
out of office before your time is up. Second, Mr. Bush, you will cause a
Democrat to be elected in 2008; and if something does not happen it might
just be Hillary Clinton. Your 12 million who bailed you out in 2004 might
not show up.
Third, what position do we Christian-Zionists advise?
For the answer, let us look to our first President. In 1790, the Hebrew
Congregation from Newport, Rhode Island, wrote a letter to our first
President, Mr. George Washington.
President Washington answered them:
"Gentlemen:
"The citizens of the United States of America have a right to applaud
themselves for having given to mankind examples of an enlarged and liberal
policy, a policy worthy of imitation. All possess alike liberty of
conscience and immunities of citizenship. It is now no more that toleration
is spoken of, as if it was by the indulgence of one class of people, that
another enjoyed the exercise of their inherent natural rights. For happily
the government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to
persecution no assistance, requires only that they who live under its
protection should demean themselves as good citizens, in giving it on all
occasions of their effectual support.
"It would be inconsistent with the frankness of my character not to avow
that I am pleased with your favorable opinion of my administration and
fervent wishes for my felicity. May the children of the stock of Abraham,
who dwell in this land, continue to merit and enjoy the good will of the
other inhabitants; while everyone shall sit in safety under his own vine
and fig tree, and there shall be none to make him afraid [for the mouth of
the Lord of hosts hath spoken it - Micah 4:4]. May the Father of all
mercies [Jehovah God, called the Lord God of Israel 498 times in our King
James Bibles] scatter light and not darkness in our paths, and make us all
in our several vocations useful here, and in His own due time and way
everlastingly happy.”
Our first President wished good will of others upon the Jews. That will not
be happening in this deportation.
Our first President invoked Jehovah God’s favor upon them. We are bringing
a curse upon them and ourselves for “deporting them from their homes in the
Gush Katif and the Shomron.”
Our first President wished them to be “everlastingly happy.” There was no
happiness in “deportation of Jews by Nazis from 1938-1945.” There will be
no happiness in “deportation of Jews by Jews in 2005.”
Our first President knew that the Lord God did not want anyone to make the
Jews afraid, and he asked that the Father of all mercies scatter light and
not darkness in our paths. By deporting the Jews, we are causing a
Nazi-like darkness to fall all over the Middle East and especially the
little land of Israel.
I visited the town of Sderot in November 2004 with twelve other preachers
from our Oklahoma Baptist College. Ella Abukasis, age 17, was killed there
last week by the same Islamic so-called “Palestinians” that we believe will
make peace with the Israelis. Despite the inconvenient hour last Friday,
some 2,000 friends and relatives escorted Ella’s body to its final resting
place. (If we force the Israelis to give them Sderot, like Newe Deqalim and
the other twenty-four communities in Gaza and Shomron, then they will have
to dig up her grave and take her body with them.) Ella gave her life to
save her little brother, Tamir Yaakov. Sderot Mayor Eli Moyal told the
crowd, “Your pain is our pain.” It is about time, Mr. Bush, that the “pain”
of the Israelis become the pain of the Americans.
Prime Minister Sharon: You gave her this home, but it will not be if you
push this “deportation plan for peace” allowing it to be taken over by
Islamic so-called “Palestinian” terrorists and used to kill and to maim
more innocent Jewish children.
President Bush: What a tragedy is about to unfold before our very eyes;
you, Sir, will be a part of it! Believe it or not, I am on your side, first
as a Christian and second, Mr. President, as someone who voted for your
father twice and for you twice. But you must not continue with this
terrible “Road Map” devastation of Jewish families.
Conservative Christians: You, the surprise electorate who ensured President
Bush’s recent victory at the polls, must again make your voice heard now,
loud and clear, for the cause of righteousness. You must let our President
and the world know you do not approve the giving away of the land Jehovah
God gave to the Jews so long ago. Write / FAX / call to President Bush (FAX
number: 202-456-2461), Prime Minister Sharon (FAX numbers:
011-972-2-566-4838 and 011-972-2-670-5475), and your congressman today and
tell them to stop this madness!
Jewish Friends: Your Torah and my Bible tells us plainly that the land of
Israel belongs to the Jews. J-h G-d will certainly not be pleased with
Prime Minister Sharon’s “disengagement” give-away to Gentiles. Write / FAX
/ call your convictions to these same leaders who can rectify this terrible
tragedy before it is eternally too late!

over by Islamic so-called “Palestinian” terrorists and used to kill and
to maim more innocent Jewish children.<br>
<br>
<b>President Bush:</b> What a tragedy is about to unfold before our very
eyes; you, Sir, will be a part of it! Believe it or not, I am on your
side, first as a Christian and second, Mr. President, as someone who
voted for your father twice and for you twice. But you must not continue
with this terrible “Road Map” devastation of Jewish families.<br>
<br>
<b>Conservative Christians: </b>You, the surprise electorate who ensured
President Bush’s recent victory at the polls, must again make your voice
heard now, loud and clear, for the cause of righteousness. You must let
our President and the world know you do not approve the giving away of
the land Jehovah God gave to the Jews so long ago. <b>Write / FAX / call
to President Bush (<font color="#FF0000">FAX number:
202-456-2461</font>), Prime Minister Sharon (<font color="#FF0000">FAX
numbers: 011-972-2-566-4838 and 011-972-2-670-5475</font>), and your
congressman today and tell them to stop this madness!<br>
</b> <br>
<b>Jewish Friends: </b>Your Torah and my Bible tells us plainly that the
land of Israel belongs to the Jews. J-h G-d will certainly not be pleased
with Prime Minister Sharon’s “disengagement” give-away to Gentiles. Write
/ FAX / call your convictions to these same leaders who can rectify this
terrible tragedy before it is eternally too late!<br>
