US Evangelical leader to air pro-Israel TV ads - in Israel
By ETGAR LEFKOVITS

An American Evangelical Christian is launching a series of television commercials on Israel's Channel 2 television to voice his support for the people of Israel during these trying times. 

"For the first time in this country's history,
television spots will begin airing to announce to the people of Israel that the vast majority of American Christians recognize Israel as their friend and ally," said Earl G. Cox of Charleston, South Carolina. 

Cox made the statement during a highly unusual press conference this afternoon at Jerusalem's Mount Herzl military cemetery. 

A former US government official and political
strategist who served in 4 presidential
administrations, Cox chose to leave the political
arena, and instead listen to "the call of God." 

"Enemies of Israel must clearly understand that when they attack the Jewish State they take on millions of American Christians who passionately embrace the Israeli people," he said.

'Pro-Israel' ad blocks sales of Int'l Herald Tribune Lebanese edition
By ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT, Lebanon - The Lebanese distributor of the International Herald Tribune decided not to sell today's edition of the Paris-based daily because of what it said was a pro-Israeli advertisement in the newspaper. 

A front-page note in the Daily Star, Lebanon's only English-language daily distributing the IHT since last July, said the decision was "due to possible legal action by the Lebanese government because of advertising content in the IHT." 

The full-page advertisement titled "Short Memory" and placed by the American Jewish Committee enumerated about 200 recent instances of anti-Semitism around the world, editor Hanna Anbar told The Associated Press. 

The IHT has been appearing in Lebanon inserted into the Daily Star. 

Under Lebanese law, a foreign publication distributing in the country cannot publish items deemed propaganda for Israel. Lebanon and Israel are technically at war. Cases relating to publications are covered by a special Publications Law and dealt with by a special court. 

In a similar case April 5, a Lebanese judge filed charges against the Daily Star editor in chief, Jamil Mroe, when the IHT published a pro-Israeli advertisement paid for by the New York-based Anti-Defamation League. 

The charges were dropped on May 9, with Judge Abdelrahim Hammoud stating Mroue could not be legally held responsible for the advertisement. 

He said, however, that the writer and publisher of the advertisement were responsible and kept the case open. No decision has been made on further action. 

Anbar said such incidents were not expected to affect the joint distribution agreement between the two newspapers. In fact, he said, the IHT informed the Daily Star in advance of its latest edition. 

In Paris, IHT executive editor David Ignatius said the Daily Star's decision does not affect the distribution agreement. 

"We would like to serve our readers in Lebanon every day that we publish," Ignatius said in a telephone interview.

That is the truth about taking on millions of American Christians. People seem to think we are of little importance! But I assure you they will regret it.

Hi, David. What the entire world needs to remember is what God said to Israel so many years ago: "I will bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you." That statement alone should be enough to explain our relationship with Israel.
