Insider Report: Israel Soon to be a 'Christian' Nation? Special from NewsMax's Most Informed SourcesHeadlines (Scroll down for complete stories):
1) Israel Soon to be a 'Christian' Nation? 1) Israel Soon to be a 'Christian' Nation?
The Jewish majority in Israel faces a significant demographic threat.
Israel's Minister of the Interior Eli Yeshai said this week that at the current rates of growth, Jews will not be the majority population between the Jordan and the Mediterranean within eight years.
As it stands now, Yeshai noted, there are a growing number of IDF soldiers who refuse to take the oath of allegiance on the Tanakh (Jewish Bible), but rather insist on doing so on the New Testament. Yeshai calls for an "emergency public debate on the matter before it's too late."
In order to limit the number of non-Jews who take advantage of Israeli repatriation laws, Yeshai recommends that the Law of Return be changed.
Under the current law, individuals with one Jewish grandparent may obtain automatic citizenship - even though Judaism recognizes only the offspring of a Jewish mother or a halakhic [Jewish legal] convert as Jewish.
Housing Minister Natan Sharansky, however, says that now is not the time to discuss changing the Law of Return.(Arutz-7)
After the fall of the Soviet Union, Israel opened its doors to Russian Jews who sought to emigrate. Many did. Of these new immigrants to Israel, many were Christians who claimed a distant ancestor as being Jewish. Still others anxious to leave Russia falsely claimed they were Jewish.
2) NewsMax Poll: Create Homeland Security Department
This week, in our NewsMax Online Poll, we asked our readers, "Do you agree with President Bush's Plan to create a new Department of Homeland Security?"
More than 177,000 votes were cast, and NewsMax readers overwhelmingly supported President Bush's plan, with 72 percent agreeing with a new Department of Homeland Security.
The media controversy over the mishandling of terrorist information by the CIA and FBI may have contributed to the large favorable vote. Americans would like to see a new, streamlined method of analyzing intelligence.
3) Defense Policy Review Board: Iraq Invaded Already
A member of the Defense Department's Policy Review Board told NewsMax this week that if it had been up to the board, the U.S. would already have attacked Iraq and engaged in at least a limited invasion.
The board is known to be hawkish. It's headed by Richard Perle, who has been the leading proponent of attacking Iraq.
Perle and others believe that by waiting, we have given the element of surprise away to Saddam Hussein, who has had additional time to prepare for an attack and possible terrorism against the U.S.
The Bush administration has given numerous signals that an attack on Iraq is in the offing.
4) More on Dick Morris' Conversion
NewsMax this week welcomed Fox News analyst Dick Morris into our stable of writers for our monthly NewsMax magazine.
Some NewsMax readers found that hard to swallow.
Whatever your opinion of Dick Morris, his is one of the great political minds of our time.
A number of readers reminded us of the details of his 1996 sex scandal that made the tabloids.
But Morris is a changed man since then. He got help for his sexual addiction and also converted to Christianity. He is now an active member of the Catholic Church.
Morris also has expressed remorse for helping Bill Clinton. He now believes that both Bill and Hillary should be investigated and, if found guilty, prosecuted.
In a time when no one shows shame or remorse for anything, we find Morris' actions laudable.
5) Morris: Joe Lieberman Could Win Nomination
One of the outtakes from Morris' new best-selling book, "Power Plays: How History's Great Political Leaders Play the Game," is his belief that Sen. Joe Lieberman could win the Democratic nomination in 2004.
Morris tells NewsMax, "By echoing the criticism of independents that the Democratic Party is too reflexively liberal and not focused enough on the problems of the middle class, Lieberman could get the nomination."
Morris noted: "Remember that in 2004, there will be no Republican primary. That means that Independents who voted for McCain in the Republican primary or for Bradley in the Democratic contests are now free to vote in the Democratic primary, combining their votes to back a moderate.
"Their combined strength - no longer divided between two primaries - could bar Al Gore from the nomination. "Do the math. Add up the Bradley and the McCain vote in each state and you'll find that it is more than the Gore vote. If these voters, who rejected Gore once, do so again, it would mean that he can't win.
"But Lieberman, pushing a moderate line and inheriting the anti-establishment mantles of both Bradley and McCain, could pull it off."
Dick Morris reveals much more about the 2004 election in his best-selling book "Power Plays." Find out the strategy Hillary will employ to seek the White House and much, much more.
