The Disgusting Brainwashing Crusade by Israel

At first the article in the combined July 4-11, 2011 in The Nation magazine entitled “The Romance of Birthright Israel” did not interest me. But after reading a few more lines, I found it not only highly interesting, but extremely nauseating. In fact, because of the way the crusade that the article was describing was pro idol worship and so anti-GOD, I felt overwhelmed by a compelling conviction. I felt that as a servant of GOD I had a personal responsibility to:

1. Read the article
2. Understand the article
3. Personally think through how the Crusade of Birthright Israel was promoting a cult that was openly encouraging idol worship. It encourages replacing the Living GOD and also replacing His Risen Messiah Jesus. This was all the more demeaning because he was born in Israel, taught and healed in Israel, rejected in Israel, murdered in Jerusalem and raised to new life in Jerusalem.
4. Write a strong rebuttal article for my website exposing the idol worship that this brainwashing crusade is promoting, revealing how it is openly advocating replacing the One GOD of Abraham with the idol of a piece of land that the combined forces of the U.K., the U.S., the U.N., and Zionism made into the Nation of Israel when it awarded that soon to be Nation over half of the Palestinians' land.

I will continue this paper at this point by quoting and paraphrasing isolated sentences and partial paragraphs that caught my attention and often alarmed me in this alarming Nation article by Kiera Feldman.

30. I personally find this very wicked that Birthright would stoop so low in their negative brainwashing about the fear of all Arabs desiring to kill American Jews. I am American, and personally have spent parts or all of many years between 1973 and 2011 in the countries of Saudi Arabia (Riyadh-Jeddah-and Ta'if) Bahrain, Lebanon, Egypt, Syria, Jordan, and the West Bank and not once have I felt in any danger nor have I had any Arab be anything but polite to me. Nor have I heard any Arab speak of a desire to kill Jews.

    In fact, it was only in Jerusalem, Israel where I felt any threat. But that was not from any Arab, but from an Israeli police officer where the police were tear gassing 12 year old Arab Palestinian girls in their school uniforms on their last day of school. But after things were quiet I was standing alone in the very narrow street in front of the Baplist Bible book store. Suddenly, with no warning a one man Israeli police car drove up to about 5 meters from me. The policeman jumped out, immediately got into his kneeling, shoot position, with his tear gas canister gun aimed right between my eyes. After about three seconds when I could see the artery bulge on his neck like he was about to squeeze the trigger, terrified I quickly turned around to run back into the safety of the book store. But my first step led to a collision with a steel light pole. The impact knocked my flat on my back; blood began streaming down my face from my broken glasses.

    No! I have found no reason over many years in many, many encounters with Arabs of several nations to be afraid of Arabs. Even being the only American in a Syrian prison for a week as the result of a car accident, I was consistently treated with respect. In contrast, due to a total of about three days in Jerusalem, I was scared to death of Israeli Zionist police who were supposedly being paid to protect all citizens, even to protect Americans and Palestinians.

31. Back to the Birthright article: With great irony a 'Birthright' open bar night was called, “Zionism is Humanitarianism.” I personally did not find the Zionist police particularly humanitarian, but perhaps my standards are too high for what is encouraged to occur in Israel because I am not on a member of the supposedly objective Birthright staff or as a young Jewish American being shown only the bright side of the true Israel.
32. “A new era is dawning for Birthright. What began as an ideology booster has become an ideology machine, pumping out not only Jewish baby makers, but defenders of Israel.”
33. “In the words of CEO Gidi Mark, Birthright trains participants to go back to anti-Zionists on their campuses and say to them, 'Don't tell me what you saw on CNN… I was there.'”

35. “Mitzpe Shalem (Birthright supporter) collectively owns 37% of Ahave, which enjoys annual profits of 150 million by illegally exploiting Palestinian Dead Sea Resources.”
36. “The free trip is framed as a gift from philanthropists, Jewish federations, and the State of Israel.”
37. “To apply for a Birthright trip participants need… to pass a screening interview, (practicing a religion other than Judaism in an automatic disqualifier.)
38. “It is not unheard of for progressives to 'birth left' in the West Bank.
39. A major irony I observe in the birthright Jewish exclusivity promotion is this. A man such as co-founder Bronfman is enabled to promote Jewish exclusory because of his ancestors making billions of dollars from the Canadian Seagram's liquor empire. But then he exploits the enormous profits from the major liquor consuming U.S. to promote his no believers in Israel's Messiah are welcome to Israel. It is emphatic that the program has absolutely no room for either those who have not totally rejected the Risen Messiah of Israel, but the program also rejects anyone who has sympathy for the injustice that has occurred to Palestinians.
40. Also it is a serious crime against GOD, against His Risen Messiah, against Arabs, and against Palestinians that a major theme of Birthright Israel's brainwashing is to stereotype all Palestinians as being terrorists. This is obvious hate mongering that the program seems to be proud of. What kinds of Jewish citizens are they working so hard to create for their future Israel? I am even reluctant to face the unpleasant answer to this question.
41. In #30 about the young Palestinian, 12 or 13 year old Palestinian girls marching in the very narrow virtually deserted street, I realize now that there is much more to the shameful reality that occurred that day that I had not yet been emotionally ready to once against relive. My Arab friend that had taken me to Jerusalem with him had some printing he needed to pick up about three blocks from the Jerusalem Bible Book Store where we were going to visit. A minute or so after our entering the print shop we could hear the police sirens. We hurriedly picked up his package and began heading again to the bookstore. But the air was now thick with tear gas so that we had difficulty breathing. But we struggled to make it to the relative safety of the book store that was directly across the narrow street from an open to the street small sandwich shop. There was an Israeli police pick-up wagon designed to pick-up protestors, etc. parked outside the sandwich shop, but not blockading our unobstructed view. I was shocked at what my eyes were telling me could not be happening.

    As the three of us (my friend, the store clerk, and myself) stood behind the large bookstore window and silently watched, a middle aged burly Israeli policeman was dragging one of the young Palestinian school girls dressed in her attractive school uniform by her hair and roughly threw the terrified girl down on the side walk while both ourselves and the men sitting in the sandwich shop starred on in disbelief. Then, while another police officer looked on but did nothing, he struck her several times with his white nightstick as the girl desperately tried unsuccessfully to fend off the blows with her arms. I felt ashamed as I only stood there and watched. But I soon said to the two other men beside me that I would run out waving my American passport and protest what was occurring. They quickly bluntly told me that if I knew what was good for me and for the girl I would stay right where I was. For they said that my sudden appearance would only escalate the already tragic situation.

42. Then we suddenly heard a quiet knock coming from the back door of the quite small bookstore. The store manager opened the door and their stood another of the terrified girls pleading to come in and hide. The manager, while quite probably realizing he was endangering the Bible Bookstore's future, quickly allowed the thankful girl to come in and hide.
43. Later that afternoon the greatest of ironies occurred. I was back with the small group of a somewhat Christian Zionist identity who had graciously paid for my airfare and expenses in Israel. And we as a small group of five or six were scheduled to visit the office in Jerusalem that was titled the “Christian Embassy” that promoted and organized Christians world wide in their support of Israel and which strongly supported Israel in its illegal occupation of the Palestinians.

    When we visited the Christian (Zionist) Embassy, at that point I had not yet had had an opportunity to have someone clean the blood from the cut over my eye that I had received from my unwelcome sudden encounter with the unforgiving steel light pole when I was fleeing from the frightening broad barrel of an intimidating tear gas canister launcher.

44. I reluctantly asked one of the Christian Embassy Hostesses if she would mind cleaning my not so serious wound and putting a band aid on my eye. She graciously said that she would. Since this was an Israel supporting Christian Embassy that would not be sympathetic to my negative encounter with the Jerusalem police, or with the real light pole, it would not have been politically correct to go into any type of animated expiation as to how my eye was cut, either for the embassy staff or for the sympathies of the Christian Zionist men about whom I slowly realized that Zionists was the main identity of the persons I was traveling with.

    It was only the Israeli embellished version of events that had reached the Christian Embassy. And this version had disagreed 180 degrees from what my Arab Christian friend and I had observed by being there. Apparently it was said that the Israeli police had to be called out to use tear gas and their batons to put down a major disturbance by Palestinian school girls.

45. In great contrast, what my friend and I had observed was probably less than twenty Palestinian girls walking or marching in organized parade fashion with great discipline chanting in a non angry way, but rather in an appealing sing songy way in Arabic three reasonable distinct desires of Palestinians.

    “We want out Freedom. We want out Land. We want Justice.” And the young girls repeated these short phrase over and over, but with pauses in between to get their breath. But with mischievous twinkles in their eyes like it was really a big dead for school girls to be walking in the street without their parents' permission. And from the time we departed from walking beside them until the sirens started it was less than five minutes. So it was obvious that the police were well on their way while the girls were continuing their very respectful protest that was not inferring with traffic because there were no cars due to the narrowness of that street.

46. But what I could hear being said between staff at the Zionist Christian Embassy was that tear gas and police batons had been required to put down a rebellion by Palestinian school girls in the streets of East Jerusalem. But very alertly, as the compassionate staff member was placing a band aid on my eye, she as inconspicuously as possible turned to her colleagues who were complaining about the unthankful, disgraceful behavior of the Palestinian school girls. So she tried to say outside of my hearing, “You better stop talking about this because this man was there and saw what actually happened.” Suddenly, that subject was dropped like a hot potato.
47. Back to the Birthright quotes, “In the manner of all summer comp lessons, there were skits with gratuitous cross dressing. The part of the man who prances on stage with makeshift breasts was played by Yassi Mizrahi, then a goofy 21 year old Israeli soldier, adored by the entire Birthright group, He'd fought in Operation Cast Lead, and he liked to show U.S. the terrorist head bands he claimed to have collected from the bodies of Palestinians he'd killed.”
48. “To be sure, several tour mates told me that what they saw on Birthright troubled them, even using words like segregation and apartheid.”
49. “By the final nights sharing circle, nearly everyone said they felt more Jewish and vowed to raise their offspring with the tribe.”
50. As many realize, the relatively anti-occupation and anti-Zionist group called J. Street has tried to resist what the totally pro-Israeli lobbying group AIPAC advocates.

    “In January, J. Street said it would sponsor a Birthright trip. Shortly thereafter, Birthright said a miscommunication had occurred-as a 'political' organization, J. Street was ineligible. Yet a Birthright trip run by AIPAC, the far more conservative Israeli lobby group has been renewed for years.”

51. As a person who relentlessly prays for the Mid East several times per day and has also saturated himself with the teachings of the highly respectful Jewish Prophet and stern warner, Jeremiah, I am exceptionally apprehensive for the eternal future of such hateful anti-Arabs. That is, I am virtually frightened out of my skin for the terrible Judgment coming from GOD on the strident enemies of GOD in the Birthright crusade. They shamelessly promote the worship of their idol, the land of Israel in order to replace both Justice and also to replace Jeremiah's GOD, Isaiah's GOD, Abraham's GOD, and the GOD of the Messiah Jesus. This sweeping replacement of the Biblical GOD is simultaneous with these leaders of Birthright Israel shamelessly spreading hate for the Palestinians during their aggressive brainwashing sessions. Furthermore, they show no hesitation to effectively cancel the Biblical Risen Messiah through their misguided, relentless, unashamedly hateful agenda against both Biblical religion and especially through their hostility against Arab Palestinians whom they interchangeably label as terrorists.

    From my estimation from what was apparently an objective article in The Nation's magazine on July 4, 2011 edition about Birthright sponsors, their goals, their strategies, their philosophy, their idol worship, their brainwashing, and their tactics, I cannot imagine that if the Jewish Jeremiah were now alive that his ominous message to these Jewish extremists would be extremely alarming. What he would be telling the King and false prophets of Birthright would actually be more urgent and condemning then his message to the leaders of the Southern Kingdom of Judah was over 2,600 years ago about how they would be punished and die as false prophets and spineless leaders. So I believe his fierce messages of warning to Judah's leaders and to Jerusalem so many long centuries ago was mild in comparison to what his message would be to today's Birthright leaders. From my perspective, from what I read about in the ominous Book of Jeremiah when I read the consequences of what happened to King Zedekiah of Judah as a result of on the one hand realizing the horrible Judgment that would soon visit his city, visit his Kingdom, visit his family, and visit himself while he was totally unable to reign in and change the wicked decisions by the leaders under him and the people, is terrifying. So the final result was that the mighty and unmerciful King of Babylon, King Nebuchadnezzar, virtually caused to starved to death most of the citizens in the approximately 18 month long siege. During the horrible starvation, many otherwise compassionate parents resorted to eating their own beloved children. And horribly, when King Nebuchadnezzar's Army made a breakthrough in the city wall, King Zedekiah, his family, and his nobles attempted to make a daring escape. But they were all captured. Not only were all of his nobles killed, but the last thing that King Zedekiah saw before his own two eyes were gouged out, was this. He was made to watch as his two sons were ruthlessly slaughtered before his about to be blinded eyes. Then, in bronze shekels, the enemy soldiers forced him to walk to Babylon. (See 2 Kings 24 and Jeremiah 39 for the heart breaking accounts.)

    I am not all suggesting that a similar fate awaits the wealthy men and Professors who support and guide the Birthright brainwashing and propaganda machine. But this I am warning. That as I read the Book of tears written by the weeping Prophet Jeremiah and compare that Book of inspired warnings with The Nation magazine article about Birthright, it seems to me that these men's shameless thumbing of their collective noses at the GOD revealed in the Judeo-Christian Scriptures by the leaders of Birthright is definitely a level of evil more wicked than what was observed in the Kingdom of Judah and ancient Jerusalem by the weeping Prophet Jeremiah. And if the pretense of the Birthright propagandists including Prime Minister Netanyahu, is to promote Jewishness, it is a sick kind of Jewishness that the government of Israel with the complicity of many U.S. Christian Congresspersons promote. Eventually, in one way or another it appears certain that the Living GOD and His Risen Messiah will reveal to all involved in expediting this evil propaganda, how wicked their actions, consequences and motives have been for so many of their victims.

52. Attention all Jews who are connected with Birthright Israel. Because the following truth revealed from the Book of Genesis about who GOD used to save the Jews from extinction is shocking. This revealed truth exposes even more how disgusting it is that Birthright Israel expends much effort bad-mouthing and undermining Arabs and especially Palestinians.

    This truth of the Arab's significant role in rescuing Israel from extinction induced by famine should rattle the teeth of every Arab and Palestinian and Gazan hating Jews. It should especially unnerve the irresponsible sponsors of Birthright Israel. It clearly reveals the brazenness of Israel's stunning hypocrisy toward Arabs.

Genesis Forty-Five

The 45 revolver used to be extremely well known as being the weapon of choice in order to kill. But Genesis 45 is GOD's choice in shooting down the extreme arrogance and hypocrisy that so many Jews have against Arabs. In this 45th Chapter of Genesis the Prophet given credit for saving the people of Israel from certain extinction from a dreadful seven year famine was Joseph. Three times in this Chapter 45, (verses 5, 7, 11) Joseph made it clear to his eleven brothers that the people of Israel would have become extinct (they would not be a nation today) had GOD not sent Joseph to Egypt. (Genesis 45:8). Yet, nine of his eleven brothers with the exceptions of the oldest brother Rueben, and the youngest brother Benjamin had been entirely committed to murdering him and forgetting him. But even though at the last minute the nine venomous brothers came up with a plan to get rid of him, just like murder would, but they could also get some money out of his live, sent into exile body. But these brothers, whether they liked it or not, were under GOD's, significant Covenant of Circumcision that set the Jews apart. But not totally apart, for the half Arab brother of their grandfather Isaac, was Ishmael who significantly was the very first member of the Covenant of Circumcision in addition to Abraham, years before his Jewish brother came under the circumcision's significant covenant. So to whom was it natural for GOD to turn to in order to transport GOD's hated by the Jews, but also GOD's servant Joseph, just as Jesus later was hated by his brothers (the Jews), down to Egypt so that GOD could use him to save His Israelite people. The author of Genesis, three times used the inconspicuous word Ishmaelites for the persons who safely transported the de facto Savior/Ruler Joseph to Egypt, the Genesis author could have very accurately used the following words.

“GOD chose to use and trust the Arab grandchildren of the first member of the Jewish Covenant of Circumcision which were the grandchildren of the highly honored Ishmael. (Please see Genesis 17:23 for confirmation of Ishmael being the first person under the Covenant of Circumcision and Genesis 37:22, 37:28, and 39:1 for confirmation that it was the Covenanted Ishmael's Arab grandchildren who were entrusted by GOD to safely deliver the betrayed, hated, humiliated, traumatized young Jewish boy, Joseph to Egypt. (It was ironic that Joseph could not be safe with his own blood brothers with whom he shared the same father Jacob because they despised him and wanted to murder him due to what should have been somewhat normal sibling rivalry over competition for their father's love. Yet, Joseph could be entrusted to the care of grandchildren of his Arab granddad Ishmael whose grandchildren probably treated their almost murdered virtual cousin with the warmth and sympathy that they could obviously see that he deserved and needed. This was in contrast to how they could see that his own blood brothers had deep contempt for him. But there is no reason to assume that the grandchildren of Ishmael were not neutral merchants. They definitely were not hardened traders who would also have a similar contempt for Ishmael as his brothers had. Furthermore, there was absolutely no way that the young terrorized Joseph did not realize, and probably with relief, that it was his very near relatives who were now safely transporting him to his new, but strange home in Egypt. Furthermore, it was quite possible that as the terrorized Joseph, who had come within a bug's eyelash of being murdered by his own hateful brothers, had long reassuring conversations with his near relatives as they together made their long hot trip in the blazing sun. And Joseph quite naturally would have helped with the labor intensive task of daily watering the thirsty camels during their several weeks journey. Quite possibly these Arab relatives who were well known in Egypt had many meaningful connections that later helped lead to the young, apprehensive Joseph to a key position as the important house servant of Potiphar who was an important official of no less than the Pharaoh of all of Egypt. For a 17, 18, or at the most 19 year old foreign adolescent does not come up with a key position like that without Arab/Egyptians connections.

It also must be noted that these near descendants of their grandfather; the skilled archer, Ishmael, had a once well known mother who had been respected in Egypt, the merchants' grandmother Hagar. For tradition has it, that when Abraham decades before had been in Egypt, it as not just any young woman who was presented to Abraham to be the personal attendant to his wife Sarah. For Sarah definitely had other servants who could do the washing and lower level household tasks. But the tradition is that Hagar was a daughter of Egyptian royalty who had been a gift to Abraham and Sarah along with many other gifts that the Genesis record reveals that they had received from the exceedingly wealthy Pharaoh, the only Ruler of the then great land of Egypt. And these respected merchants who were definitely not stereotyped as disrespected Ishmaelite slave traders, undoubtedly had long conversations over tea with important Egyptians about the deep roots that their own great grandmother Hagar had in Egypt. They probably also realized and discussed that the boy Joseph's own grandfather, the noted and well respected Abraham, had been an important guest in Egypt of one of the former Pharaohs only three generations before.

Additionally, the grandsons of Ishmael were probably well acquainted with other significant circumstances that would be of much interest and information that would have been quite impressive to their Egyptian business associates and even heard about by members of Pharaoh's inner circle.

To name some of these notable circumstances that the respected merchant discussed over tea with their Egyptian business counterparts in Egypt were these which were highly likely to have been discussed while drinking tea or coffee and enjoying the abundant fruit. For especially Americans have virtual no appreciation of the long conversations that Middle Easterners constantly engage in with one another as they sit around together. If you doubt what I am saying, take a look at many of the Middle Eastern paintings that often show people talking together. So discussions about the following historical circumstances quite likely helped pave the way for Joseph to land in a relatively high status position which also indirectly paved the way for Joseph to become the virtual “Ruler of Egypt.”

But it is Genesis 45 which contains the first extensive conversation that Joseph, the new de facto Ruler of Egypt, had with his frightened older brothers about how their cruelly exiling him to Egypt had the amazing result of GOD using the situation, to at the very least, partially prevent their large extended family from becoming totally extinct through a devastating seven year famine that at that point still had five years to go. (The seven year time duration of the famine had been supernaturally revealed to the Pharaoh/Firuun in a dream which GOD had empowered Joseph to interpret.) It was this interpretation that directly led to Joseph soon becoming the de facto Ruler of Egypt.

Thus, if Joseph had not been sent ahead of Egypt according to Genesis 45, the Jacob (later named Israel) family would have become famine victims and mostly extinct. Of course, that reality leads to the obvious conclusion that if that awful extinction would have occurred, the arrogant, wealthy Arab despising Jewish founders of Birthright Israel today would not now be in Israel brainwashing young unmarried Jews to despise the Arabs whose own Arab/Egyptian ancestors were the important persons whom GOD chose to play such a significant role in rescuing Joseph. Then Joseph in turn rescued their Jewish ancestors. So this definitely means that these wealthy Jews in Birthright Isael would not today be doing all this bad mouthing and brainwashing of young Jews if it were not for these Arab merchants' timely intervention since neither themselves nor their brainwashed victims would now exist.

The reality is that the Genesis Scriptures had no practical reason to go into the story behind the story which explains the significance of the Ishmaelite merchants as I have now done. But Genesis 45 contains the first explanation of Joseph saving the lives of the Jacob/Israel family. But there is no practical reason in Genesis 45 to mention the crucial role of Ishmael's grandchildren. But here is the very relevant summary. Abraham's first son Ishmael had grandchildren who were professional merchants who directly contributed to Joseph being in a position to save Jacob's family then which has saved both the Jews now and the Nation of Israel now. So here are some of the relevant conversational reference points that could have easily come up in discussions between the grandchildren merchants of their grandfather Ishmael and the Egyptian merchants who they would have needed to bargain with to both get the maximum selling price for Joseph and simultaneously place him in the most beneficial situation for him. And if you think that there would not have been such behind the scenes bargaining you have not observed bargaining negotiations in the Middle East.

Grandchildren's Impressive Conversational Points Regarding grandmother, Egyptian Hagar, Her Husband, Famous Hebrew Abraham, Their Son, Egyptian/Hebrew Ishmael

Each of these conversational and bargaining points are documented in the Genesis Torah as well as having been part of the oral tradition of which Ishmael's grandchildren would have been quite familiar.

1. Great grandfather Abraham had been an important guest of the Egyptian Pharaoh and had received many important gifts from the Pharaoh because the beautiful and desirous wife of Abraham had been invited to live in the Royal Palace of the Pharaoh with obvious expectations. (See Genesis 12:10-20).

2. Egyptian Hagar had a prestigious position in Patriarch Abraham's home as personal attendant to his first wife Sarah who was also Abraham's sister.

3. Egyptian Hagar become Patriarch Abraham's second wife.

4. Egyptian Hagar had the extraordinary honor of presenting Abraham with his first child, a male child, Ishmael.

5. The unborn Ishmael was privileged to be given an especially meaningful name by GOD's Angel indicating GOD hears prayer.

6. The name Ishmael actually means “GOD Hears”.

7. Egyptian Hagar is the only woman in the Torah/Genesis Scriptures whom the Angel of GOD supernaturally communicated twice with her in order to intervene and save both she and her son's lives; once when she had run away because of Sarah's harassment and the Angel directed her, since she was pregnant, to return to the home of Abraham. The other occasion was when the Angel of the Lord spoke to her from heaven and told her not to be afraid and opened her eyes to where she and her son could find water which saved their lives.

8. Hagar, though Egyptian and not Hebrew, was a unique woman to whom GOD announced to both she and her husband Abraham on separate occasions that He would make her son Ishmael into a great Nation which I personally take to mean the then future Nation of Islam.

9. It is purposely and specifically stated by the Genesis/Torah author this significant statement: “GOD was with the boy (Ishmael) as he grew up.”(Genesis 21:20).

10. Ishmael's wife, the merchants' grandmother, was from Egypt.

11. Ishmael, though half Hebrew and half Egyptian was privileged to be one of the first members of the important Hebrew Covenant of Circumcision, years before Abraham's full Hebrew son, Isaac, joined this Covenant of Circumcism.

12. Though some may wrongly assume that Isaac, Ishmael and Abraham did not remain friends, this was not true. Ishmael together with Isaac attended their dad's burial along side Abraham's first wife Sarah.

    In the light of all these many historical background circumstances, it should be realized that these merchants' great grandmother Hagar and their grandfather Ishmael had been uniquely important person with GOD. In addition to Ishmael having been a first member of the significant Covenant of Circumcision he had been given the important name Ishmael meaning GOD Hears by GOD's Angel even before he was born and who was still in the womb of his mother. And his mother, Hagar was the person who was twice uniquely saved by ALLAH's personal intervention. He also became a notable archer. So ALLAH made the choice of the grand kids of the famous Arab Ishmael and the great grand kids of the significant Egyptian woman whom he had twice demonstrated that He deeply cared about to be his servants to rescue Joseph. Thus, these Egyptian Ishmaelite merchants were very special servants of the GOD of Abraham whom he used to safely transport the later Savior of the Jews, Joseph to Egypt to later save Israel. And these grandchildren of Ishmael obviously had important Egyptian connections that led all the way to the Pharaoh's family and to his officials. So they were able to land Joseph in the initial strategic position in Egypt so that he could later make this direct quote to his eleven shocked brothers, nine of whom came very close to murdering him in a circumstance where they would never have been caught.

Genesis 45:8 – Joseph speaking for the first time to his eleven brothers in Egypt. “So then, it was not you who sent me here, but GOD. He made me father to Pharaoh, LORD of his entire household and ruler of all Egypt.”

Thus, in view of the reality that GOD used Ishmaelite Egyptians who had the connections for him to reach his amazing position in order to save Israel from certain at least partial extinction as is mentioned by him no less than three times in Genesis 45. So here is revealed the brazenness and absolute hypocrisy of Birthright Israel in taking for granted that Arabs played no significant role in saving Joseph and thus saving today's Israel. When the term Ishmaelites is used 3 times in Genesis 37 and Midiante Merchants only once as the identity of those who would take him to Egypt, I have observed that readers of Genesis in the West as well as Jews everywhere have a tendency to classify Ishmaelites as somewhat inferior to the supposedly superior Israelis the way whites in the U.S. have in the past used racisms disparaging terms to demeaningly put down Afro-Americans. But just as it is totally wrong to use terms which disparage Afro-Americans, I believe that the thirteen circumstances I have cited concerning both Ishmael and his mother Hagar should go far to get rid of the false notion that somehow the Ishmaelite merchants were inferior to their passenger, the young Hebrew, Joseph. And that his murderous brothers would also assume that those very close relatives of his would not aid him because of considering them to be as selfish as they themselves were.

Birthright Israel probably assumes without beginning to study the Scriptural Genesis background of Israel's survival, that it was just GOD and Joseph who amazingly through special coincidental strategic events, arranged for the family of the Prophet Jacob to survive. So Birthright appears to think that this leaves their organization free to viciously slander the Arabs as much as their dark hearts desire. But the truth that they will probably never be honest enough to recognize is this. That GOD Himself intervened not once, but twice to save the life of Hagar. Once when she was pregnant and later the life of Hagar and her young teenage son GOD Hears/Ishmael were saved by God's Angel. Thus Ishmael's grandchildren became the extended family of Ishmaelite Arab/Egyptian merchants so that these Arab traders would use their considerable high up Egyptian connections to put Joseph in the key position he needed in order to save the extended family of Israel from extinction. Tragically, Birthright Israel possesses a stunning hypocrisy toward the ancestors of present Arabs whom the GOD of Abraham ordained to be His valuable servants in order to save the ancestors of the Birthrighters from absolute certain extinction. Yes, the Jews would have become extinct of it had not been for GOD ordaining the grandchildren of their under the Jewish Covenant, Ishmael, to save their lives during a devastating seven year famine. So the present hatred for Arabs by Birthright Israel is especially despised by GOD because this racist organization shows no thankfulness to Arabs and no due appreciation of them. This arrogance and feeling of entitlement is absolutely breath taking in its ignorance and wickedness. Furthermore, if there is an ounce of integrity in those who are responsible for these professors who oversee the Birthright brainwashing of young Jews, they must modify the curriculum immediately and should use the Scriptures' Genesis account as I have, to send to every Birthright graduate a sincere apology correcting their lack of mentioning that it was significantly the grandchildren of Islam's noted Patriarch and Prophet, Ishmael, whom GOD ordained and honored to be the valuable servant of His so long ago in order to save the earliest ancestors of present day Jews from certain extinction. So if Arabs had not been so helpful then, today there would be no Israel, no Netanyahu, no Birthright to slander Arabs and no unjust persecution of the disenfranchised Palestinians by present day Jews because there would be too few Jews today to persecute Palestinians.

And the manner that you, Birthright respond to this written challenge will go far to determine if Birthright Israel possesses any integrity or worth at all. Your response also would either be helping or hindering to the Palestinian-Israel peace process.

Summery of the Hypocrisy That Birthright Israel Does Not want to Admit

1. The Almighty GOD used the Arab grandchildren of the Arab first member of the Covenant of Circumcision to safely deliver the eventual Jewish Deliverer, Joseph, to Egypt so Joseph could actually expedite the rescuing of the Jewish race from virtual extinction. The background to this occurring is that nine of Joseph's brothers hated him so intensely that they almost murdered him, but instead sold him to merchants belonging to the family of the Arabs who would now be assisting the Hebrew Joseph. If there would not have been those Arabs assisting the Hebrew Joseph, there would not now exist extremely wealthy Jewish businessmen today who made billions of bottles of expensive Seagram's whiskey so that 18 to 26 year old Jews could be sponsored for a free two week brainwashing/indoctrination trip to Israel to be professionally coached in increasing their hate and disgust for the Arab ancestors of the very Arabs to whom the Jews owe both their existence and the existence of their nation. Succinctly, the purpose of Birthright is to teach Jews to be more effective in hating the Arabs who saved their ancestors lives and laid the foundation for founding their nation. So if Arabs had not offered valuable assistance to Joseph there would today be no land of Israel for Jews to worship instead of their worshipping GOD.
2. If at least one of Birthright Israel sponsors had not been alive in order to sell his Seagram's whiskey to make billions in order to sponsor Birthright Israel if Ishmael's grandchildren had not had a destination of Egypt.
3. If the Arab family of Ishmael had not fulfilled GOD's plan of delivering Joseph safely to Egypt and also fulfilled GOD's plan of using their considerable high up Egyptian connections to help him secure a strategic position that ordinarily would have been unavailable to an inexperienced foreign teenager, there would be few Jews today and no land of Israel. So if there were no land of Israel thanks to the saving of the Jews by the Arabs so that the Jewish racist nation could be established, most probably many U.S. evangelical Christian congress persons would consider that to be a terrible tragedy. But, then they would somehow twist the facts of the Arabs rescuing the Jews so that the U.S. could increase its aid to Israel so more Arab Palestinians could be murdered. Because the Evangelicals are convinced that the Palestinians should be enthusiastic and feel privileged to be giving Israel their own Palestinian land so Israel can continue to illegally occupy it and also build more illegal settlements on the illegally occupied West Bank.
4. But GOD has His way of turning evil into good. So here is the good that may come out of the evil that Birthright Israel is doing to Arabs. When enough Arab Muslims find out how dreadfully evil and unthankful for Israel being saved by Ishmael's grandchildren, that may help motivate Muslim Arabs to get so disgusted with Israel so that it will help Muslim leaders make the right decision about opening their hearts and their Mosques to the Qur'an's Risen Messiah. For that correct step will not make Israel especially happy. But it will finally be something wonderful for the Muslims that will be very pleasing to ALLAH.

ALLAH Observes Four Different Well Oiled Lying Machines

Lying Entity One: Israel

Much of the Israeli Brainwashing this paper has just presented is based on misrepresentation and on outright lies. Yet, the U.S. Congress and even the U.S. President and Vice President can't wait to proclaim how important it is to always support our friend Israel. Yet, one of the two founders of the Birthright Israel, Michael Steinhardt, has made it clear that this land of Israel has virtually replaced the GOD of Abraham when he “professes faith in Israel as a substitute for theology”. Does this please GOD? You better believe that the GOD of the Old and New Testaments is almost as fed up with this wickedness as He was disgusted with the wicked people at the time of Noah who brought on the flood.

Lying Entity Two: Islam

Islam is based on the Qur'an. ALLAH Himself proclaims in the Qur'an in Al-Im'ran 3:55 that He was involved in both the death and being raised alive of His Messiah. In fact, He makes it clear in that verse that He Himself in His sovereignty was totally involved in both the death and resurrection events of His Messiah. Yet, Islam's leaders lie despite what ALLAH Himself states about the two events both occurring. The leaders lie because of their distorted support of a man-made fairy tale based on the Arabic verb phrase shubbiiha lahum which means that it appeared to the Jews that Isa was permanently dead. But it does not mean that there was an identity switch with someone else being executed instead of Jesus. But he was only temporarily dead because ALLAH tells us in the next verse, An-Nisa 4:158, that He utilized His Wisdom and Might to raise him up alive. But the male leaders of Islam presently are very comfortable with de facto saying that both ALLAH and the Qur'an lie about these two important historical events when they claim that the death and resurrection events of the Qur'an's Messiah did not occur even though ALLAH Himself in Al-Im'ran 3:55 teaches that the two historical events definitely did occur.

Lying Entity Three: Western European Muslim Haters

Western European intellectuals and political figures hate Islam, but only slightly less than the 32 year old who murdered over 60 young people and 8 older people.

These European and their followers blatantly lie because the vast majority of what these Western European leaders falsely propagandize about innocent Muslims in an attempt to stir up hate is primarily based on poisonous lies. And once again ALLAH is as displeased with this wickedness just as he was disgusted with the people at the time of Noah which brought on and precipitated the flood.

Lying Entity Four: Many U.S. Evangelical Christians

The Messiah is recorded on Matthew 7:22, 23, 28 as having taught the crowds:

“Many will say to me on that day, (the Day of Judgment), Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles? Then I will tell them plainly, I never knew you. Away from me you evil doers!”

Regretfully, many American Christians have tight formulas as to what determines whether or not they are Christians and what determines whether they will be accepted on the Day of Judgment. So Jesus went on to say, “Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.”

So Jesus made it abundantly clear that it was not a formula that people including evangelical congress persons depend upon to be a follower of the Risen Messiah. But rather it was persons putting his teachings into practice. When persons do not strive with fear and trembling to put his teachings into practice, a religious formula worked out by a church or group does not earn the approval of the Living GOD. Regretfully I observe much more trembling by a Deist like Thomas Jefferson who did not necessarily have a personal commitment to GOD's Risen Christ. But he did take seriously his commitment to a GOD of Justice. For he said, “I tremble for my nation when I reflect that GOD is just.” And I expect two major crimes Jefferson was trembling about was our nation's wicked treatment of both the first occupants of this land, the Indians. He also trembled about the African slaves that we immorally kidnapped from Africa in order to make them serve Americans in this land. But even though Jefferson trembled over slavery, that did not prevent him from often sleeping with his own slave and fathering children by her. And today Jefferson would be trembling about how the U.S. supports Israel's evil treatment of Palestinian victims.

From what I have observed, I have not seen much trembling from Christian Evangelical members of Congress for the U.S. murdering of innocent Vietnamese, murdering innocent Cambodians, and murdering innocent Iraqis.

What appears to happen to Evangelicals including myself is that we put far too much trust in certain Christian formulas and certain isolated Bible verses, and way too much trust in our elected leaders to make Just Foreign Policy Decisions that we superficially assume will please GOD and His Risen Messiah. How can our foreign policy decisions possibly please GOD when the main contributor to our foreign policy decisions is our multi-billion dollar weapon's industry? But in a miserable disobedient contrast to reflection and Justice, we spend far too little time reflecting as Jefferson encouraged and trembling as both Jefferson and the Apostle/Rasuul Paul also taught. Rasuul Paul once advised the people for the Greek city of Philippi where he also once started a fitnah by his preaching of the Risen Christ, to “Work out your salvation with fear and trembling.” When he used the word salvation accompanied with fear and trembling, this is what he was meaning. When you are linked with the Risen Messiah like these evangelical congresspersons claim that they are, you should be trembling and not superficially deciding that its okay to always support Israel when Israel is colonizing and building Israeli homes on occupied land that legally belongs to disposed, abused, exploited and innocent Palestinians. Yet, the Evangelical supposedly Risen Christ loving Congresspersons consistently despise these valuable Palestinians. And despising Palestinians is in total violation of the congresspersons supposed relationship to the Risen Christ who is now inconveniently watching them. So their despising Palestinians make their whole relationship with their Messiah both questionable and problematic

Which Lying Entity Will First Change and Support Truth, Justice, and GOD's Risen Messiah?

1. Not the U.S. – I am convinced that it will not be the U.S. who will be the first to admit that in many ways and numerous times we have operated with great cruelty, deception, and irresponsibility in the manner we have responded to our relationship to GOD's Risen Anointed, His Christ. The way that we always justify Israel as being totally innocent while being opposed to justice for the Palestinians is terribly wrong. Israel's feelings of superiority over the Arabs is all the more obnoxious when you reflect that it was their half Arab brother and half Hebrew brother Ishmael who saved the Israelites from extinction when GOD used the near descendants of Ishmael as the instruments of rescuing Israel from famine at the time that Joseph's own cruel brothers wanted to murder him. But it was the Arab grandchildren of Abraham's first son Ishmael who rescued Joseph in contrast to his own hateful nine Jewish brothers excluding youngest Benjamin and eldest Rueben, who were intent on murdering him or selling him into a life time of slavery in far away Egypt in contrast to his own Arab relatives rescuing him.

   Also, the innocent blood that the U.S. has shed now places our nation well beyond soon becoming an agent of Truth and Justice for the world and for ALLAH's Risen Messiah. That is, until so many of our national leaders can grow up and get beyond the concept that GOD is lucky to have a nation of people as committed to truth and justice as we think we are.

2. Not Israel – I am also convinced that there are insufficient J. Street type persons and leaders in Israel today to begin to compensate for the arrogance and right of entitlement of so many of the leaders of Israel. This superiority attitude makes it impossible and improbable that GOD will impose upon so many arrogant and hard hearted Israeli leaders a softness and healing of their hearts so that their own hearts are even remotely close to being ready to accept from GOD or from His Risen Messiah an open invitation to walk the straight path of truth, mercy and justice.

   So Centuries ago GOD was forced by inner family hate and near murder to circumvent his Jewish brothers and to raise up their more trustworthy near Arab relatives of the Jews to rescue Joseph and to safely deliver him to the right place in Egypt. In Egypt he would later go through a series of GOD allowed unfortunate circumstances so he would finally be in an amazing position to rescue all his brother Jews from a seven year devastating famine. But do the Jews appreciate one ounce that GOD used their relatives, the Arab Ishmaelites to play a very key role in preventing their most certain extinction? You guessed it. There is no way the often arrogant, unthankful Israelites appreciate the Arabs about anything. And GOD is sickened by their continued attitude of superiority, lack of thankfulness about anything. For He is watching.

   And the historical fact and reality that there definitely would not be a State of Israel and a significant existence of Jewish people today had not the Compassionate GOD of the Universe caused amazing events to occur concerning Arabs, in order for them to have a key part in rescuing the Jews. Yet, the pay back that those trustworthy Arabs receive from often arrogant Jews for safely delivering the Patriarch Joseph to Egypt and quite likely helping him secure an excellent position serving a high Egyptian official on Pharaohs staff, is nothing but unappreciation, slander, and hate. Yes, later the arrogant unthankful for everything Jew's leadership will likely repent and once again come under ALLAH's blessing. But until they repent and say, “Blessed is he who comes in the Name of the Lord”, they will remain on the outside of ALLAH's blessing, but will still be criticizing everyone who is experiencing His Blessing and the Blessing of His Risen Messiah.

3. Not Western European Muslim Haters - From the quotes that I have read from samples of the Western European Media of the dreadful unjust anti-Islamophic attitudes that dominate so many political parties in Western Europe along with how unjustifiably negative so many Western European intellectuals are toward Muslims, there is now little hope for Europeans. Though I do not think the disgusting 32 year old alleged Norwegian murderer will be successful in driving multitudes of Muslims from Egypt and in successfully igniting a ground swell in that direction. Yet, there may be a few copy-cats who will attempt to follow his hateful, violent example. But until Muslim leaders themselves are wise enough to change their rigid attitude towards the Qur'an's Risen Messiah so that Muslims welcome him into their hearts and into their Mosques instead of working so hard to marginalize him, there will be very little opportunity for a significant number of Western European Muslim despisers to back off from their compulsive hate for Muslims.

4. Yes to Progressive Muslims – I am exceptionally optimistic that now is the time that you Muslim leaders will realize that in the Qur'an, ALLAH's clear statements about the Qur'an's Messiah's death and resurrection in Al-Im'ran 3:55 should inform all Muslims on what the true meanings are of An-Nisa 4:157 and 158. Yes, this is what respect for ALLAH and common sense should dictate what must soon occur instead of a man made fairy tale becoming the authoritative judge and umpire of what actually occurred in Jerusalem. And I am also certain that when you Muslim leaders as well as women and younger men become aware that thousands of innocent lives already have been needlessly lost in wars such as in Iraq, Lebanon, and Gaza due to your stubborn refusal to recognize the Qur'an's Risen Messiah of Al-Im'ran 3:55. But if the Qur'an's Messiah had been recognized as Risen and accessible these tragedies would not have occurred. Therefore, you must finally say to yourselves, “We can from now on prevent this irresponsible, immoral, inhumane bloodshed by America by now making a rational decision to open our arms, our hearts, our minds, our homes, our Mosques to our own Qur'an's Risen Messiah.” This is even though this vital correct step on our part will cause a tremendous outcry from Israel's leaders and the Congresses many Christian Evangelicals who are very comfortable with injustice for the Palestinians if that injustice aids Israel. But it is not Israel who must be pleased by the U.S. But it is ALLAH who must be pleased by the U.S.

   For ALLAH, for truth, for the Qur'an, and for the Risen Messiah, Islam now welcoming the Qur'an's Risen Messiah will especially help Muslim women, help tomorrows young Muslims and very possibly prevent the shedding of rivers of Muslim blood in Western Europe.

   So O Muslims! Pray and pray and pray and choose ALLAH's Will. So please believe ALLAH's own precious words in the Qur'an's Al-Im'ran 3:55 about ALLAH Himself compassionately, risen, caring, Messiah's presence is even now among Muslims.
