The Christian's roots in Israel - shared with the Jews
The "Old Testament" of the Christian bible is the Jewish Tanakh, and the "New Testament" is built on these Jewish scriptures. Jesus is a Jew. He was born, lived and died as a Jew. He was born King of the Jews and died King of the Jews. Jesus taught as a Jewish Rabbi. We are familiar with the Christian holidays. God promised the patriarchs of Israel, "He who blesses you, I will bless and he who curses you, I will curse." Jesus is coming back to Jerusalem |

In these pages we look at what went wrong, the good things we are missing, the way things should be, and how Israel and the Jews are key to world events as they unfold, in these end-times .
This website explores the relationship between Christianity and Judaism (the Jewish faith), including Messianic Judaism. It explains the Jewish roots of Christianity, and the continuity of revelation and worship through Jewish and into Christian scriptures. It looks forward, with the Jews, to the coming of their Messiah and ours. It is possible to span the gulf that opened over the centuries by realizing where we stand. The apostle Paul likened non Jewish Christians to wild olive branches grafted into the cultivated olive tree of Israel. Since this is the basis of our acceptance by the God of Israel, wildolive explores the implications of this relationship.
An understanding of Hebrew and Jewish culture, tradition, faith and worship can add so much to even familiar Bible stories and celebrations.
This was nearly all lost due to replacement theology so we look at all the Jewish Feasts and their relevance and importance for the Christian.
We want to see how much can be recovered, and how we Christians can draw nourishment from our Jewish roots.
The unfolding of God's purposes in World History centres around Israel, Jerusalem and the Jews. The Christian can not afford to ignorantly follow the prevailing world-view of events in the "Middle East" and side with those who oppose God's purposes and the people He chose to bring salvation to the world. We need to understand and act upon "the signs of the times" revealed in Israel, so we look at the politics and media coverage of Israel and the forces ranged against her.
We seek to draw practical conclusions for ways the Christian can be in God's will concerning these matters.
We also want to point the way to the many resources which are available for those who seek to draw from their roots in God's olive tree.

Appeasement and the dangers to Israel:
Caroline Glick has published an essay that every friend of Israel should read and memorize its lessons. Entitled, "a low and dishonest decade" Caroline documents Israel's adoption of appeasement as the center-piece of Israel's relations with its neighbors, adversaries, and...

Abbas and PA turn latest terrorist murderers into Palestinian national heroes
by Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook of Palestinian Media Watch
Rabbi Meir Avshalom Hai -- a 45-year old Israeli and father of seven children - was killed in a drive-by shooting last Thursday. The Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, part of Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah movement, took responsibility for the killing. On Friday night, Israeli forces located and killed three of the terrorists involved in the attack. The fourth surrendered to the PA police.
The response of the PA has been unequivocal support and backing for the terrorists. Since Friday, the leadership of the PA, the heads of Fatah, the heads of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades and the PA-controlled media have continuously portrayed the killers as Palestinian heroes and Shahids -- holy Martyrs -- while describing Israel's killing of the three terrorists as "murder in cold blood" and "assassination."
PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas declared the killers "Shahids" (holy Martyrs) and sent his personal emissary to visit the families:

Around the world
Anti-Semitism - UK - 2009
This graphic, from the cover of CCJ magazine, Common Ground was re-drawn from an antisemitic sticker based on the "Keep Britain Tidy" logo.
It was found in Bournmouth, UK in 2009.
Britain's Community Security Trust says anti-Semitism in the UK was at an all-time high in 2009 with 924 recorded incidents, including a large spike during Operation Cast Lead.
The 2009 figure is 54% more than the 598 recorded in 2006 - previously the worst year on record. (Hizbollah war)
Palestinian State
Concerns are growing in Israel's government over the possibility of a unilateral Palestinian declaration of independence within the 1967 borders with US recognition, after Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad allegedly reached a secret understanding with the Obama administration. The reports were revealed in a scoop by Haaretz.
The move could potentially be recognized by the United Nations Security Council. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently asked the administration of U.S. President Barack Obama to veto any such proposal, after reports reached Jerusalem of support for such a declaration from major European Union countries, and apparently also certain U.S. officials.
Such recognition would likely transform any Israeli presence across the Green Line, even in Jerusalem, into an illegal incursion to which the Palestinians would be entitled to engage in measures of self-defense. (Guysen.International.News - 09/11/09 )
Lawfare
The Goldstone Report, for the UN Human Rights Council, published September 2009 is as biassed as expected and will provide fuel for Israel haters for some time to come. Political, legal assault against Israel is just beginning after Gaza war, wrote GERALD M. STEINBERG; chairman of the Political Science Department at Bar-Ilan University and executive director of NGO Monitor. Reproduced here on wildolive, assuming that the Jerusalem Post page will be withdrawn in time.
