May14isthe68thAn- niversary of birthing Mod- ern Israel; nothing much has changed. I will never forget the night my Dutch friend warned me about my baseball cap. We were vol- unteers serv- ing together on an Is- raeli military base repair- ing radio antennas for two weeks and touring Israel on the weekends. I wore my IDF baseball cap one night as we hung out after work and Engel told me if I wore that cap on the streets of Rotterdam at night I might not make it back to his flat alive. Anti- Semitism has enjoyed such a worldwide resurgence under jihadi tutelage that such warnings are neces- sary. The danger is far greater in Israel. In one recent attack Palestinian Bashar Masalha attacked twenty on Tel Aviv streets, injuring eleven and kill- ing American tourist and grad student Taylor Force. An eagle scout, Force was studying innovative Is- raeli methods after mul- tiple tours in Iraq and Af- ghanistan. The Palestinian Authority, celebrated his death on their Facebook page. They describe Force as a settler, their term for Jews (Force was not Jew- ish) they say occupy their land. They claim interna- tional law authorizes kill- ing settlers on sight. Their viewpoint has problems. One is the land never belonged to them. Palestine is a name im- posed by the Romans on the region; there has never been a Palestinian people and the Jews have lived there four thousand years. Another is no real Pales- tinian Government; gov- ernments provide wa- ter, sanitation, electricity, and opportunities to build homes and businesses. These things are provided by Israel in the Palestinian controlled areas and Fa- tah uses the building ma- terials to build terror tun- nels and launch attacks. Still another is these peo- ple have been offered their own state on multiple oc- casions. They don't want it unless it includes Israel and only after the Israe- lis are exterminated. Until then everyone not work- ing with them on the ex- termination project — es- pecially if they are located nearby — is fair game for any Bashar Masalha with a knife. The Palestinians are not without allies. One of the most verbally virulent is a quasi Christian cult known as Sabeel. Founded in 1989 by a former Angli- can official of St. George's Cathedral in Jerusalem, they demonize Israel and Jews as Christ killers who tried to murder Jesus as a baby. Students of Scripture and history know King Herod — who ordered the murder — was a non-Jew- ish king imposed on the Jews by those same Ro- mans, but facts are rarely important to cult leaders — be they faux Christians or Muslim terrorists. Many Christian lead- ers representing lead- ership have spoken out against Sabeel, especially the Anglicans. What most Christians do not get is that if they believe what is known as Replacement Theology they give tacit consent to replacement — by violence, politics, or spiritual abuse — of the Chosen People of Yahweh. Replacement Theology is the simplistic notion that God is tired of the Jews rejecting His reign and has passed His bless- ing to a new people em- bodied in the Church of Jesus Christ. There is a twisted warrant for it in the Gospel references to a new Israel, but Jesus — Ye- shua is His Hebrew name and He bears it proudly today — makes it crystal clear His redeeming work is to transform hearts of stone into hearts of flesh, beginning with His own people. He is not, as Sa- beel preaches, a Palestin- ian living under an oc- cupation, but rather One Who is sent first and fore- most to the Jews — stated to Gentiles of Canaanite, Syro-Phoenician, and Sa- maritan extraction before the Resurrection and to His apostles in the Great Commission. Paul seals the deal in Romans 9-11. The only condition for Kingdom acceptance is au- thentic repentance and the fruit is grafting onto the Jewish vine — for Jew and Gentile alike. There is no replacing those of God's ir- revocable choice, only re- demption of as many as are willing. The hard truth is Chris- tians are accountable not for neutrality — that chooses evil — and not for insisting on peaceful re- placement — that too sides with evil. We are responsi- ble for standing with God as He stands with us. That means — paraphrasing Richard Foster — loving those He loves and sup- porting those He has cho- sen. It means recognizing the Palestinians are not victims but bullies. It re- locates our embassy to Je- rusalem — Israel's capitol — and remembering we address bullies with res- olute strength followed by compassion only once the threat has been elim- inated. When Ronald Reagan stood against Iran Amer- ican hostages were re- leased. When George Bush stood against Iraqi insur- gents a nation was freed until his successor aban- doned that nation. We Christians need always re- member — center stage — Yeshua gave His life for every one of the Pales- tinians. Standing with Ye- shua's chosen ones is the beginning of living that compassionate message today.

GODTALK Victims of Palestinian terror are vindicated Jim Wilson The Associated Press CHARLESTON, S.C. The Cit- adel military college has de- cidedanewlyadmittedMus- lim student cannot wear her traditional Muslim heads- carf if she enrolls. TheSouthCarolinaschool announced Tuesday that Commandant of Cadets Geno Paluso decided allow- ing the student to wear the head covering known as a hijab wouldn't be consistent with the school's policy of having cadets look similar. The school in Charleston is known for its buttoned-up uniforms and close-cropped haircuts that represent the sacrifice of one's self for the greater goals of the unit. "Uniformity is the corner- stone of this four-year leader development model. The standardization of cadets in apparel, overall appearance, actions and privileges is es- sential to the learning goals and objectives of the col- lege," Citadel President re- tired Lt. Gen John Rosa said in a statement. The Citadel will continue to provide for any cadet's spiritual needs when it can, like providing special diets or time for prayer and driv- ing cadets to their places of worship if they don't have a car, Rosa said. The president said he hopes the student, whose name and hometown have not been released, still at- tends The Citadel in the fall. "The diversity of religions and cultural backgrounds represented in the Corps en- riches the overall cadet ex- perienceandbetterprepares graduates to become princi- pled leaders in all walks of life,underpinnedbyTheCit- adel's core values of honor, duty and respect," Rosa said. While The Citadel has had a number of Muslim students,therequesttowear the headscarf was unique, school spokeswoman Kim Keelor said. Citadel cadets are re- quired to wear uniforms nearly all the time. The school has a 35-page book- let of rules and regulations addressing military courte- sies and uniforms. Strictdisciplineandtradi- tion are the cornerstones of The Citadel and the school in the 1990s fought the en- rollment of women cadets before relenting. Earlier this year, 14 ca- dets were dismissed, sus- pended or served on-cam- pus punishments after sev- eral of them appeared in photos with pillowcases on their heads similar to Ku Klux Klan garb. RELIGION CitadeldeniesMuslim's request to wear headscarf RANCHO CUCAMONGA, A Muslim high school student who was mistakenly identi- fied in her Southern Califor- nia yearbook as "Isis Phil- lips" says she's hurt not only by the error, but by her class- mateswhoblastedherforde- nouncing it.
