Hamas: The goal is to expel all Jews

There are many in the international community who suggest that most Palestinians do not harbor the desire to destroy Israel, and there are some who even defend Hamas as an organization that truly wants peace. But Gaza-based Hamas leader Mahmoud Zahar at the weekend sought to set the record straight when he told supporters that the Jews must and will be expelled from the region. Zahar claimed that the Jews were historically expelled from France, Britain, Belgium, Russia and Germany "because they betrayed, stole and corrupted these countries." Only the Islamic world took in Jews, said Zahar, but insisted that now "they have no place here amongst us because of their crimes. They will soon be expelled from here." The Hamas leader urged unity between his group, which rules the Gaza Strip, and Mahmoud Abbas' Palestinian Authority that exercises control over the so-called "West Bank." "Together, with blood, we could liberate our lands and holy sites," said Zahar. "You have tasted the bitterness of arbitrary negotiations."

International figures are increasingly siding with the notion that Hamas must be part of the diplomatic equation. They do their best to ignore the fact that Hamas remains dedicated to Israel's ultimate demise, and therefore cannot be a true peace partner. What they also ignore is the fact that Hamas was overwhelmingly voted into power by the Palestinian public.

Missionary Badly Beaten

NEPAL (ANS) -- Six men attacked and brutally beat a Gospel for Asia-supported missionary October 17 in Nepal. The men accused Indra Rai Waglan of blasphemy against their traditional gods. They also accused him of forcing all the members of two families to convert to Christianity.

Indra and an elderly believer were traveling to a neighboring village to conduct a prayer meeting when the attack happened. After the attack the men left him unconscious beside the road. He was later able to get medical treatment. He has a broken rib and bruises all over his body.

The police have indentified and charged six men with the attack. Their case is now before the court.

The believers in Indra's community ask for prayer for his complete healing and for him and his family to stand firm in their faith in Christ. They also ask for prayer that the six attackers will receive grace from the Lord and choose to accept Him as their Savior.
