NEWS FROM MIKE EVANS – JERUSALEM PRAYER TEAM
PALESTINIANS TEACHING THEIR YOUNG TO KILL

I receive newsletters from Mike Evans and his Jerusalem Prayer Team. In the latest newsletter dated January 17, 2014, I was alarmed when I read about the 13,000 Palestinian teenagers (10th and 12th graders) who graduated from their “Pioneers of Liberation” training program. It is there that they are taught by the Hamas military personnel weapons training, first aid, self-defense and how to identify Israeli spies. Left, is a picture of a teenage Palestinian boy assembling an AK-47 at the terrorist training program. In their second year of training their numbers have grown in an alarming rate increasing three times over the number of students the year before.
Government leaders who attended the graduation ceremony where Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh said, “This is a generation which knows no fear. It is the generation of the missile, the tunnel and the suicide operations.”
Just recently in November of 2013, a Palestinian teenager fatally stabbed a 19 year old Israeli soldier on a bus in northern Israel. This latest crisis was probably set off by reports on Tuesday that Israel’s housing minister, Uri Ariel, had started planning for about 20,000 new settlement homes between East Jerusalem and the West Bank settlement of Maale Adumim.
How can the US trust or even come close to a peace agreement in the Middle East when the Palestinians are teaching their young people to kill and destroy the people of Israel. How can the Palestinians poison the minds of their young people against Israel so? Their hearts are bitter and full of hatred for the Israeli people- a jealous battle that will have no end. A continual battle over land that belongs to G-d and Israel. We must pray that even though they are a people filled with strife and hate, that there will be those that can reach them with the TRUTH. There are thousands of Muslims in the world that need to be reached in the name of a loving G-d that cares whether they burn in the lake of fire or not. They have no hope for eternal life as Christians do. Thank G-d for ministers of the truth like Dr. Paul Crouch who has brought many Muslims to the faith. That is why we cannot give up on our brothers in low places but must pray for their salvation as their time draws near.
Jeremiah 23
New International Version (NIV)
The Righteous Branch “Woe to the shepherds who are destroying and scattering the sheep of my pasture!” declares the Lord. 2 Therefore this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says to the shepherds who tend my people: “Because you have scattered my flock and driven them away and have not bestowed care on them, I will bestow punishment on you for the evil you have done,” declares the Lord. 3 “I myself will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them and will bring them back to their pasture, where they will be fruitful and increase in number. 4 I will place shepherds over them who will tend them, and they will no longer be afraid or terrified, nor will any be missing,” declares the Lord.
The following is the article that only confirms that the Palestinians are right on course with instructions to wipe Israel and its people off the face of the earth:
Attack on Israeli Worsens Tensions With Palestinians

JERUSALEM — A Palestinian teenager fatally stabbed a 19-year-old Israeli soldier on a bus in northern Israel on Wednesday, according to the police, shocking Israelis who have grown unused to such killings in their cities and further clouding a peace process that was already severely strained by Israeli settlement plans in the West Bank.
Infuriated by news of long-term planning for more settlement housing, the Palestinian leadership is expected to meet on Thursday to discuss the future of the American-backed negotiations, which began this summer and were supposed to continue for nine months.
The latest crisis was set off by reports on Tuesday that Israel’s housing minister, Uri Ariel, had started planning for about 20,000 new settlement homes. But some officials suggested that talk of a possible collapse of the negotiations amounted to posturing, especially after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered Mr. Ariel to “reconsider” his new settlement plans, essentially putting them in suspension.
“If the Palestinians want to create an artificial crisis, that’s unfortunate,” a senior Israeli official said on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the peace talks in public. Dismissing Mr. Ariel’s plans as having no legal standing or practical significance, the Israeli official said the Palestinians were “going through the motions.”
Arik Ben-Shimon, an aide to Mr. Ariel, said on Wednesday that the new settlement planning was “frozen” but not canceled. Saeb Erekat, the chief Palestinian negotiator, who offered his resignation two weeks ago, along with his fellow negotiator Muhammad Shtayyeh, in frustration over a lack of progress in the talks and the continuing settlement activity, said Mr. Ariel “needs to revoke the orders,” indicating that the issue was far from resolved.
The president of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, confirmed in an interview with Egyptian CBC television this week that the Palestinian negotiating team had resigned, though it was never clear if the resignations had been accepted. Mr. Abbas said he was trying to persuade the negotiators to continue, adding, “If they don’t accept, I will form another team.”
The interview was recorded two days before the Palestinians learned of the latest settlement plans, according to Mr. Erekat.
The stabbing of the soldier on Wednesday also prompted calls for a rethinking on the Israeli side. Right-wing Israeli politicians have demanded a re-examination of Israel’s agreement to release 104 long-serving Palestinian prisoners from Israeli prisons in four batches as part of a deal to resume peace talks. Two of the four groups have already been released.
In a post on her Facebook page, Tzipi Livni, the minister leading the negotiations for the Israeli government, wrote: “I wrote here earlier and harshly criticized the damage in announcing settlement construction, but I took the post off because the profound political debate about the future of our life here will certainly continue, but not now. Now I would like to pay my respects to the memory of the soldier and express sorrow to the family and to clarify one more thing: violence will not bring political achievements. And we will fight terrorism and extremists decisively and without compromise.”
The stabbing took place when the bus, traveling from Upper Nazareth to Tel Aviv, pulled into a station in the northern town of Afula.
The Israeli military said that the recently conscripted soldier, Eden Atias, 19, was in uniform at the time of the attack and that he had been on his way to an army base. He was stabbed several times in the upper body, according to Micky Rosenfeld, a spokesman for the police. Mr. Rosenfeld said that a 16-year-old Palestinian, who was from the Jenin area of the West Bank, was apprehended at the scene and that he told security personnel that he had acted to avenge relatives in an Israeli prison.
The Palestinian news media identified the suspect as Hussein Ghwadreh and said he had two cousins serving terms in Israeli prisons, one of them a life term, apparently for killing two Israelis.
The attack came after a string of violent episodes in the Israeli-occupied West Bank in recent months that ended a period of relative calm. Since September, an Israeli soldier has been killed in Hebron, apparently by a Palestinian sniper; an off-duty soldier killed by a Palestinian acquaintance who had lured him to the West Bank; and a retired colonelbludgeoned to death outside his home in the Jordan Valley.
In the last week, an Israeli couple escaped from a burning car after it was hit by a firebomb on a West Bank road, and a Palestinian man was shot dead by Israeli soldiers after he opened fire at a bus stop with a homemade handgun.
Israeli security officials have attributed the rise in attacks to unrelated individuals rather than an orchestrated campaign backed by militant groups. A number of Palestinians have also been killed recently in clashes with Israeli soldiers. Three were killed in one arrest raid that turned violent in August.
Mr. Netanyahu and several of his ministers have blamed incitement against Israelis and Jews in the Palestinian Authority-sponsored news media and schools for the violence. Yuval Steinitz, the Israeli minister of strategic affairs, said Wednesday that the main obstacle to peace was “a culture of hatred sponsored by the government, sponsored by the Palestinian Authority.”
A Palestinian official involved in the talks, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss them publicly, accused the Israeli government of “playing games.” The attack on the soldier was “an isolated incident by an individual,” he said.
