We discuss some interesting stories in Israel that are ignored in the U.S.  The Israeli newspaper, Haaretz, points out that..."When it comes to shooting a Palestinian, pulling the trigger does not come with a real fear of having to answer to the law." In another story, we learn that some Israelis are concerned about the welfare of Palestinians but Israeli bureaucrats are curtailing a program run by the Perez Center for Peace, a non-profit organization.  In another story we talk about Israeli settlers in the West Bank of Palestine that attacked an IDF post.

Anders Breivik killed 74 of his fellow Norwegians who supported the rights of Palestinians.  In his 1500 page manifesto, Breivik wrote that he admired such radical anti-islamists as Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer and others who fan hate against Muslims through their writings and seminars.    Chuck Carlson asks the question,  "Should a class-action suit by the parents of the slain, young people be filled against those persons who inspired Breivik to murder them?"

We pause to remember and retell the history about Palestine.   In 1947, the UN partitioned Palestine into two states, one for Jews and the other for Palestinians.  From that time, Zionists worked murderously to get rid of the indigenous people living in Palestine.  Today, in Israel, we have witnessed a 64 year military occupation.  At the end of our story we relate how this occupation can be ended by getting Christian Zionists, one at a time, to show the love of Christ toward Palestinians instead of demanding that they leave their homeland because God "gave the land of Israel to the Jews."

According to Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, in a letter to supporters, dated 11/17/2011, he writes:  "A disturbing movement is making inroads in the evangelical Christian world. A recent op-ed in theJerusalem Post summed it up: 'Evangelical and conservative Christians — Israel's most important allies — are increasingly targeted for conversion from Christian Zionism to Christian Palestinianism'.” We can only hope it's true.  We discuss this and other vital topics from rising food prices due to extending ethanol subsidies to sanctions on Iran.  There's a lot of food for thought in this podcast.

We Hold These Truths founder and chief messenger, Charles E Carlson, challenged some angry evangelicals in Tennessee who hosted an anti-Islamic, "Hate Fest" at the church of Rev. Maury Davis, a convicted murderer.  These anti-Islamic events, being conducted around the US,  have become popular among angry evangelicals (aka Christian Zionists).  This is an amazing story of the "Anti-Shariah" Seminar attended and reported by WHTT friend, Keith Johnson, and, the vigil held in front of the Cornerstone Church in Madison, TN on the Sunday after the seminar.  During the vigil, Rev. Davis came out of his church to challenge Chuck Carlson (see Chuck's letter to Rev. Davis sent before the vigil).  The vigil was reported in The Tennessean, "Anti-Shariah conference at Madison church spurs vigil."  This podcast interview is exerpted from Mark Glenn's TheUglyTruth podcast of Nov. 17, 2011 (whole program).  To understand the context of the whole issue, be sure to watch the 25 min. documentary, Not Welcome or the CNN, 44 min. documentary, Unwelcome:  The Muslims Next Door about the attack on Muslims in Murfeesboro, TN who wanted to build an new Islamic Center, even though they have had a small mosque there for 30 years.
