D Day For America, the smelter of the Lord in the land of the Free
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: by whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Ro 5:1-2
In this day and age of turmoil and many views, knowing who you are is important. This is the point that Christians should take. For one, many opinions are out there. Even in the realm of Christianity, thoughts and doctrine interpretation are vast. But, one avenue of interpretation remains constant. That is “being justified by faith”.
Moreover, it is in this justification that we as believers have peace with God. Many religions follow some order of things. But ours, Christianity is the only one bringing in the Savior and Son of God into the world. Now, the world may not believe, but as followers of Jesus Christ, ours is not a lonely faith. As a matter of fact, the Lord provided us with a helper. Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to be our helper. Further, we were told “my Spirit will bear witness with your Spirit that you are the children of God”.
This is our relationship. For while mankind lives in the world, as believers we are in it, but not of it. While many seek fulfillment, the believer has all he or she needs in Christ. For the believer, they have peace. A peace not of this world. It is a supernatural one, filling the physical realm of the human spirit. Our life should be one of knowing this peace and enjoying the relationship with the Father, through the Son.
In conclusion, we also have to stand in this faith. Rejoicing in hope. That hope of being “justified by our faith”. Knowing we have peace with God, saved from our destruction because of sin, by the work of our Lord Jesus Christ on the cross. So while the world is in turmoil, the unbeliever is in darkness, and the many religions grasp for their own reality, know this. Believers in the Lord Jesus Christ are the only ones to Know the Father through the Son.Â
“I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life, No one comes to the Father, but by me” Jesus Christ-John 14:6

PMW has documented yet another corroboration by an Arab “refugee” that it was Arab leaders who were responsible for the flight of Arabs from the new State of Israel in 1948. A backbone of Palestinian Authority (PA) ideology, and indeed of anti-Israel propagandists worldwide, is the myth that Israel expelled hundreds of thousands of Arabs from Israel and created the Palestinian “refugee” situation.
However, an elderly woman who left Israel during Israel’s War of Independence, and is today still considered a “refugee,” confirmed in a PA newspaper last week that it was Arab leaders and not Israel who told her and her neighbors to flee, for tactical military reasons. This corroborates Israel’s contention of the last 58 years that Arab leaders were responsible for telling their own people to leave Israel, and for the subsequent “refugee” problem.
Following is this most recent testimonial, as well as two earlier statements by other “refugees” that have appeared in the PA press, all of which corroborate Israel’s historical narrative. The latter two are significant because they were corroborated by still other more public Palestinians, indicating that the responsibility of the Arab leaders is known in the Palestinian world. One was confirmed by Arab Member of Knesset, Ibraham Sarsur, who was then Head of the Islamic Movement in Israel, and the other by a Palestinian journalist, Fuad Abu Higla, in the official PA daily.
The following are three statements corroborating that Arabs fled Israel, under instructions of the Arab leaders:
1. Woman who fled Israel in 1948
2. Son and grandson of those who fled in 1948
An Arab viewer called Palestinian Authority TV and quoted his father and grandfather, complaining that in 1948 the Arab District Officer ordered all Arabs to leave Palestine or be labeled traitors. In response, Arab MK Ibrahim Sarsur, then Head of the Islamic Movement in Israel, cursed the leaders who ordered Arabs to leave, thus, acknowledging Israel’s assertion.Statement of son and grandson of man who fled:
“Mr. Ibrahim [Sarsur]. I address you as a Muslim. My father and grandfather told me that during the “Catastrophe” [establishment of Israel in 1948], our district officer issued an order that whoever stays in Palestine and in Majdel [near Ashkelon- Southern Israel] is a traitor, he is a traitor.”
Response from Ibrahim Sarsur, Head of the Islamic Movement in Israel:
“The one who gave the order forbidding them to stay there bears guilt for this, in this life and the Afterlife throughout history until Resurrection Day.”
[PA TV April 30, 1999].
3. Article by senior PA journalist
Fuad Abu Higla, then a regular columnist in the official PA daily Al Hayat Al Jadida, wrote an article before an Arab Summit, which criticized the Arab leaders for a series of failures. One of the failures he cited, in the name of a prisoner, was that an earlier generation of Arab leaders “forced” them to leave Israel in 1948, again placing the blame for the flight on the Arab leaders.
“I have received a letter from a prisoner in Acre prison, to the Arab summit:
To the [Arab and Muslim] Kings and Presidents, Poverty is killing us, the symptoms are exhausting us and the souls are leaving our body, yet you are still searching for the way to provide aid, like one who is looking for a needle in a haystack or like the armies of your predecessors in the year of 1948, who forced us to leave [Israel], on the pretext of clearing the battlefields of civilians… So what will your summit do now?”
[Al-Hayat Al-Jadidah, March 19, 2001]
Conclusion
It is clear from these statements that there is general acknowledgement among Palestinians that Arab leaders bear responsibility for the mass flight of Arabs from Israel in 1948, and were the cause of the “refugee” problem. Furthermore, the fact that this information has been validated by public figures and the media in the Palestinian Authority confirms that this responsibility is well-known – even though, for propaganda purposes, its leaders continue to blame Israel publicly for “the expulsion.”

WorldNetDaily: PA admits Jewish towns turned into ‘training camps’
NATIV HA’ASARA, Israel – In what expelled Jewish residents of the area are calling the “ultimate insult,” Hamas has turned the former Jewish capital of the Gaza Strip into a terror training camp and has used the territory to launch rockets into Israel, WND has learned.
Before Israel’s Gaza withdrawal in August, Neve Dekalim was the largest town in Gaza’s Gush Katif slate of Jewish communities. The neighborhood was usually bustling with residents dining, shopping and going to work. It contained Katif’s industrial zone, government buildings, and some of the largest synagogues and stores in the area. Housing was tight, with a total of 467 units in the neighborhood filled by Jewish families who moved in from throughout Israel and across the world.

Keywords: WWII, War Declared, Japan, US, St. Louis, Newspaper
By Dana G Smith
The Price was three cents. A buy in today’s market, even though it was only 28 pages long. This was the Final Edition for Monday evening December 8, 1941. In Saint Louis, people were eating up all the news they could. One paper they were reading was the St. Louis Star-Times, 7th war Extra. The headlines boomed out ‘WAR DECLARED’. In smaller type; “3,000 casualties in Jap Attack on Hawaii mentioned some detailsâ€. This news edition, with all its large black type was slightly yellowed, but the paper was intact.
The paper, given to Chris G Smith of Gillette, Wyoming by his Grandfather Tim Mullen brought back the day more vivid than anything. Chris relates “I remember hearing the Words of President Roosevelt on television, but this paper brings this time aliveâ€. Thus, the paper, like an ancient wise man, reveals wisdom of the fateful day when terrible times were at hand. For many, it seemed like the end of the world. Today, we know it wasn’t.
Excerpt front paper of Roosevelt’s Infamous speech..
This was a day that would “live in infamy†according to President Roosevelt’s seven-minute, 500 word message to congress. The senate acted in 33 minutes on the war resolution with a final house vote of 388 to 1. Jeannette Rankin, a progressive republican and pacifist, was the only member of either house to vote no and with a eloquent speech said “I cannot vote for Warâ€. She was not re-elected in 1942. This unity in our government was probably the last time the nation has seen it act with such a unanimous voice since.
The Newspaper ran the forecast for St. Louis which said it was going to be fair with a cooling down at night. The low was to be about 31. Gary Cooper in the World War I hit, Sergeant York was in its last two nites at the Hi-Point, Shady Oak, Shenandoah, and West End Theatre’s. These were the days of Abbott and Costello, Cary Grant, Joan Fontaine, Charles Boyer, Bette Davis, Ann Sheridan, Martha Raye, Gene Autry, and others who were headlining during this traumatic moment in history.
At the Famous-Barr Co you have “those Christmas photographs taken ‘6 for 3.95’, a Baronial Mattress for only $27.00, and a Gainaday Washer for $79.00. Brownie Jr. cameras were only a couple of bucks while movie screens were going for $5.95 each.
In the Help Wanted section, Boys 16-18 were needed with a bicycle’. They could earn 30 cents an hour working for Western Union. The comic section was on page 27 and 28. The ongoing adventures of Moon Mullins, Red Ryder, and Dick Tracy were among the cartoons featured. The Chicago Bears rallied to down Cards 34 to 24 on the seventh of December, 1941 while history elsewhere was in the making. For many on this day, life would change forever.
On page fifteen, the Editorial section had the following quotation “As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is tried: He is a buckler to all them that trust Him.- II Samuel 22:31. Across from the scripture reading a short quote from Tennyson “Closer is He than breathing, and nearer than hands and feet, was inscribed.
The sentiments echoed in the War edition screamed cooperation. KXOK ran a 2 by four ad on the bottom of page eight stating that “Japan has struck†and as America fights back, KXOK “will continue to flash the news as it occurs.†Promising accuracy and speed, the station joined the growing cavalcade of news organizations that would cover the biggest event in world history. The Chicago Tribune whose isolationist policies were put aside for an outspoken voice in support of President Roosevelt had replaced its slogan on its masthead for Stephen Decatur’s words “Our Country, Right or Wrongâ€. In St. Louis, saying “To our Commander-in-Chief we pledge our full energiesâ€, Mayor William Dee Becker voiced his pledge that his city would do its share.
This was a era when people faced the most trying of all times. Not only was Germany at war, but now Japan was in on the fray as well. Japan’s arsenal appeared on page 21 of the Magazine section. On the Bottom right it showed that the U.S. had 12 battleships to Japans 9, 5 aircraft carriers in the U.S. fleet to an equal 5 for the Japanese, there were 15 heavy cruisers on America’s side and only 12 for Japan, while the U.S. had 14 light cruisers to 27 for the Japanese. The U.S. had only 100 destroyers to 112 for the Japanese while the U.S. Sub fleet was at 75, Japans was at 59. War headlines screamed from virtually the entire paper, while ads, movies, and advice columns filled the lines in between.
Today, I look back somewhat, as I was one of the baby boomers whose parent was in the War. My dad doesn’t talk about it much. He was a Navy medic in the War. I asked him about enlisting. To which, he replied, “When I went to sign up, they asked me what I wanted to do. told them I did not want to kill anyone, so they made me a medic.†The problem with war is, people die, people kill, and bloodshed is unavoidable. The old adage that “war is hellâ€, describes what dad told me about the evac hospital ships My dad, now in his mid eighties, said of those who were wounded, “you could have two guys, both with the same wounds. One would have a certain look in his eye, you knew he would die. He had given up. The other one, wanted to live more, and even though the wounds were the same, the other guy livedâ€.
The L.A. Times also put out war headlines. My Grandfather, Lester G Smith Senior was featured with a picture in the paper a number of times. I still have the old copies with my grandfather prominently on the old yellowed pages. He was the city manager in Catalina Island, and also worked for the Government taking care of the Natural resources and sea life around Catalina Island in California. It was during this time that grandfather with his police revolver 38 at his side, skippered a boat patrolling the Coast off California. He went after the bad guys, and anyone else who were causing trouble. It was a time when my grandfather upon hearing about Pearl Harbor, told my dad, the oldest of three, to “go down to the dock and shoot anything that comes out of the skyâ€. On Catalina, the war meant that Japanese could come ashore the small island off the coast of California first. Grandpa was going to be ready for them. They never did come, but they were ready.
As I relate this story, I think of what we face today and what the newspaper revealed. The War, when it was over, brought a rapturous joy in the nation we live in. What followed was the American dream, a large generation of war offspring called baby boomers, and new sense of destiny. Today, however, we have the largest debt in history, a war which was never declared, a war in which we never seem to win, privacy issues, gun control issues, and by the way, even putting a bible verse at the top of a newspaper is not done anymore. Our congress has trouble protecting our borders, passing legislation, and even agreeing on anything. While our economy is booming in America, the euro and Canadian currency are up against our own dollar.
If there was ever a sense of destiny needed, it is today in our nation. We have lost our steering and the compass is out of order. While we face ragtag extremists overseas, our own government seems inept in doing anything about it. We don’t face a nation as such, but many nations. Many of those nations who are supposed to be friends with the US have extremists in their own countries that openly attack Americans and our interests. It has been said, this is a 100 year war, if it is, and we are in for a long struggle. Times have changed and so have people. Do we have the same will to win as in WWII? Can we pull together for the sake of our freedom and nation? The answer is in the coming pages of history that have not been presented to us yet. This is our future, but some 100 years from now, will somebody be going through their own attic and find an old yellowed newspaper from 2007 saying “WAR DECLAREDâ€.
