Will the Iranian People Seize the Opportunity?

Thursday - May 10, 2018 DEFENDING SOVEREIGNTY: ISRAEL STRIKES BACK IN SYRIA The Israeli Defense Forces launched a counterstrike - a severe blow - following an Iranian missile attack on the Golan Heights Thursday, destroying "nearly all" of the Islamic Republic's military infrastructure throughout Syria. "The IDF will not allow the Iranian threat to establish itself in Syria. The Syrian regime will be held accountable for everything happening in its territory," the press release read. "The IDF is prepared for a wide variety of scenarios." PM Netanyahu issued a statement on his Facebook page: "Iran crossed a red line. We responded accordingly." The White House issued a statement saying, "The U.S. condemns the Iranian regime's provocative rocket attacks from Syria against Israeli citizens, and we strongly support Israel's right to act in self-defense." Iran's deployment of missiles is "unacceptable," and warned Iran would bear "full responsibility" for the consequences of its behavior. Reports are also revealing unusually strong defense of the Jewish State from the UK, France and Germany. US Reaffirms Israel's Right to Sovereignty Watch Martha MacCallum interview White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders (May 9, 2018). We love hearing the US reiterate its support for Israel!!

During his ten hour visit with President Putin, Netanyahu firmly stated, "We'll take every measure to protect ourselves." More HERE. Prepared for Anything On a recent AFSI Chizuk mission to Israel, AFSI was treated to a tour of the underground emergency hospital at Haifa's Rambam Health Care Campus. We were amazed by what appeared to be a huge parking lot, impeccably clean. We saw how it could be converted, in minutes, into a functioning, state of the art, hospital. Kol hakovod to Rambam. We pray there will be no need to treat great numbers of people, but are grateful that Rambam is prepared. This week, Israel's largest hospital in the north, Haifa's Rambam Health Care Campus, inaugurated a command center for its fortified underground emergency hospital (FUEH). A Rambam Hospital medical team training in the underground facility Situated in proximity to the border with Lebanon, the command center has been operating the Sammy Ofer Fortified Underground Emergency Hospital (FUEH), designed to treat 2,000 patients from throughout the northern region in time of war. Story HERE. Golan Heights Scoreboard: Trump 1, Israel 1, World 0 "Trump was never fooled. He's a New Yorker. He knows a con job when he sees one. He passed three card monte artists every day on 42nd Street. He knows the bottom of the deck fast shuffle. He came into office with the wisdom of a businessman who knows that a bargain is never as good as it looks, except to a sucker." Read Jack Engelhard's Arutz Sheva OpEd HERE. Letter to the Editor - The New York Post President Trump's courageous and correct withdrawal from the destructive, dangerous, deceptive Iran "deal", foisted upon the American people by Obama, a president determined to weaken America and the western world, has presented the Iranian people with a golden opportunity. As many commentators have stated, "there is abundant proof that the overwhelming majority of the Iranian people detest the regime." Undoubtedly, the Iranian people heard President Trump reaching out to them at the end of his talk. They heard that he believes, "They are the rightful heirs to a rich culture and an ancient land, and they deserve a nation that does justice to their dreams, honor to their history, and glory to their God." I believe that the Iranian people will take strength from this message and rise up against the tyrannous regime that would drive them towards a nuclear program rather than towards western civilization. If they do so, I believe Trump's America will be there to help them. Helen Freedman STAY CURRENT. STAY CONNECTED.
