Nearly 180 Evangelical Leaders, Including Billy Graham's Granddaughter, Condemn Anti-Trump Editorial in Letter to Christianity Today
https://www.newsweek.com/evangelical-leaders-letter-condemn-christianity-today-anti-trump-op-ed-1478742
"The editorial you published, without any meaningful and immediate regard for dissenting points of view, not only supported the entirely-partisan, legally-dubious, and politically-motivated impeachment," the letter read, "but went even further, calling for Donald Trump not to be elected again in 2020 when he certainly survives impeachment."
"Your editorial offensively questioned the spiritual integrity and Christian witness of tens-of-millions of believers who take seriously their civic and moral obligations," it continued.
The group, who called themselves "Bible-believing Christians and patriotic Americans," went on to say that they are grateful that Trump has "sought our advice" to advance policies that "protect the unborn, promote religious freedom [and] reform our criminal justice system."
Rudy Giuliani: I'm more of a Jew than George Soros
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/273589
Speaking with New York Magazine’s Olivia Nuzzi in an interview released Monday, Giuliani accused Soros of effectively orchestrating the ongoing Democratic effort to impeach President Trump.
“He put all four ambassadors there,” said Giuliani, “and he’s employing the FBI agents.”
The former mayor then accused Soros defenders of deflecting criticism of the billionaire’s influence in politics and his political positions with allegations of anti-Semitism.
“Don’t tell me I’m anti-Semitic if I oppose him,” said Giuliani, saying Soros is ‘hardly’ Jewish, an ‘enemy of Israel’, and a ‘horrible’ person.
“Soros is hardly a Jew. I’m more of a Jew than Soros is. I probably know more about — he doesn’t go to church, he doesn’t go to religion — synagogue. He doesn’t belong to a synagogue, he doesn’t support Israel, he’s an enemy of Israel. He’s elected eight anarchist DA’s in the United States. He’s a horrible human being.”

Israel’s Population and Immigration Authority (PIBA) on Monday rejected claims that the overwhelming majority of new immigrants to Israel are non-Jews.
The information, published earlier in a report by an Israeli group based on documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Law request, asserted that only one out of seven immigrants over the past eight years had moved to Israel as a Jew.

Speak Truth to Trump
https://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2016/october-web-only/speak-truth-to-trump.html
Most Christians who support Trump have done so with
reluctant strategic calculation, largely based on the president’s power
to appoint members of the Supreme Court. Important issues are indeed at
stake, including the right of Christians and adherents of other
religions to uphold their vision of sexual integrity and marriage even
if they are in the cultural minority.
But there is a point at which strategy becomes its own
form of idolatry—an attempt to manipulate the levers of history in favor
of the causes we support. Strategy becomes idolatry, for ancient Israel
and for us today, when we make alliances with those who seem to offer
strength—the chariots of Egypt, the vassal kings of Rome—at the expense
of our dependence on God who judges all nations, and in defiance of
God’s manifest concern for the stranger, the widow, the orphan, and the
oppressed. Strategy becomes idolatry when we betray our deepest values
in pursuit of earthly influence. And because such strategy requires
capitulating to idols and princes and denying the true God, it
ultimately always fails.
Christianity Today made a moral case that Trump needs to go. He responded by proving its point.
https://www.vox.com/2019/12/20/21031611/christianity-today-trump-removal-editorial-response-mark-galli
Trump began by falsely describing Christianity Today,
which has a mainstream audience, as “far left” and “very ‘progressive.’”
(Although it’s true the publication has been critical of Trump for years,
that’s very different from being far left.) He claimed, without
evidence, that the magazine “has been doing poorly.” He took gratuitous
shots at the Democratic presidential candidates, comparing their faith
unfavorably with his own — and ignoring the fact that if the Senate
removes him from office, Vice President Mike Pence, not a Democrat, will
take his place.
Christianity Today “knows nothing about reading a perfect
transcript of a routine phone call and would rather have a Radical Left
nonbeliever, who wants to take your religion & your guns, than
Donald Trump as your President,” Trump tweeted. “No President has done
more for the Evangelical community, and it’s not even close. You’ll not
get anything from those Dems on stage.”

Orthodox Jews Raise $1.5 Million For Family That Owned Jersey City Grocery Store
https://forward.com/news/national/436927/hasidic-fundraising-jersey-city-shooting/
The shooting last Tuesday devastated this growing Hasidic community
of about 100 families. Two gunmen, a man and a women, fueled by
anti-Semitic beliefs, charged into the JC Kosher Supermarket on Martin
Luther King, Jr. Drive in Jersey City. Though a quick police response
may have saved the lives of the dozens of children in the Jewish school
next door, it took hours — and hundreds of bullets — before the
assailants were killed and the stand-off ended. Five people, including
the assailants, lost their lives. A police officer also died in an
earlier confrontation with the shooters.
Paris appeals court agrees: Killer of Jewish woman 'too high' to be guilty

The Paris Appeals Court on Thursday upheld a lower court ruling
that a Muslim man who killed his Jewish neighbor will not face trial
because he was too high on marijuana to control his actions.
