Even iraq is eligible. So is iran. And so, too, are cuba, Libya, North Korea, Sudan and Syria. Why is it that these seven nations, all cited by the u.S. State Department as sponsors of terrorism, are eligible to serve rotating terms on the Security council, yet israel, a democratic nation and member of the uN since 1950, is not? To be eligible for election, a country must belong to a regional group. Every uN member state—from the smallest to the largest—is included in one of the five re- Moriel Quarterly • June 2010 PERTINENT “ ” Oman Pakistan Palau Panama Papua New Guinea Paraguay Peru Philippines Poland Portugal Qatar republic of Korea romania russian Federation rwanda St. Kitts and Nevis St. Lucia St. Vincent and the Grenadines Samoa San Marino SSo Tome’and Pripcipe Saudi Arabia Senegal Seychelles Sierra Leone Singapore Slovakia Slovenia Solomon islands Somalia South Africa Spain Sri Lanka Sudan Suriname Swaziland • Sweden Syria Tajikistan Tanzania Thailand The Former Yugoslav republic of Macedonia Togo Trinidad and Tobago Tunisia Turkey Turkmenistan uganda ukraine united Arab Emirates united Kingdom united States uruguay uzbekistan Vanuatu Venezuela Viet Nam Yemen Yugoslavia Zambia Zimbabwe gional groups. By geography, israel should be part of the Asian bloc but such countries as iraq and Saudi Arabia have prevented its entry for decades. But only israel among all uN members is denied the right to belong to any regional group. As a temporary measure, israel has sought acceptance in the West European and Others Group (WEOG), which includes not only the democracies of Western Europe but also the united States and other Western countries. The uN Secretary General, Kofi Annan, on March 25, 1998, called for an end to this injustice to israel and “the normalization of israel’s status within the united Nations...” Moreover, several countries, including the Countries not eligible to sit on the United Nations Security Council: Israel u.S., Australia, canada and Norway, have expressed support for israel’s admission to WEOG, but the 15-member European union refuses to act. Thus, without membership in a regional group, israel can never be elected to serve a term on the Security council or, for that matter, to the other most important bodies of the uN system, such as the Economic and Social council, the World court, and the commission on Human rights.

uth Nessim israel report CJFM Report June 20 0 Tel: + 72 4 2 2 • Cell: + 72 544 4 0 7 from Israel 0544 4 0 7 • P.o.Box 2 , 22 02 Nahariya, Israel “Give thanks to the Lord for He is good. For his mercy endures forever.” This was in any case going to be a packed newsletter, and I had hoped to entitle it, The month that was. I never suspected in my wildest dreams that it would almost end as it did, and we are all thankful for the Lord’s mercies to us, so I will start at the end of the month and work backwards! On the 28 th of May, I set out via the last train for Haifa, to do a small translation job for Pastor Najeeb and Elisabeth Atteih, and arriving at the appointed Haifa Station, found great difficulty walking up the stairs. A few deft questions from Pastor Najeeb, and I was on my way to an emergency clinic, from where the doctor on duty instructed me to go straight to the Hospital. While sitting in Najeeb’s car, I had a massive heart attack and was rushed to the Rambam Hospital where they did an angiogram, and discovered that one artery was 100% blocked, one 90%, and two were 50 % blocked. On the table, one vessel ruptured and had to be fixed, and my heart stopped, but they managed to introduced three stints, I was released home for further treatment six days later, and I am praising God to be alive, although I must obviously take things a lot easier for quite a while to come! I had so many visitors, that one nurse asked what I did to get so many people to visit. So I explained that I belonged to the Messianic Jewish Community, at which she said, “I know them, I live next door to the Congregation in Kiryat Haim. They are very nice people” As I was released on a Thursday, I was able to go to the Shabbat meeting where I was given a rumbustious welcome! I could not help remembering Albert, and how that after his death, I was left to keep the meetings together until our preacher was well enough to come again. I had felt so alone and as if everything was on my shoulders. Three and a half years later, I came home, the new young South American musicians were seated in front with our professor from the States, and another young man was translating. Everything was ordered and prepared, from including the food, and I could just sat back and enjoyed the fellowship knowing that in the meantime God has raised up new leaders, additional musicians, other translators, and more young people, as well as others who come. So we do give thanks for the changes that have taken place in Nahariya. The month began off with the return of a real old-sinner, who on his own admission, has caused many problems by his life style, but now announced his intention to follow the Lord, and trust him. He still has along way to go, but we thank God for everyone who comes to repentance. He needs our prayers to overcome his many problems, but no one is beyond the grace of God. At the same time, we had the visit of an elderly Jewish retired doctor and his charming wife. Their son is a backslider, but they still love us and always invite us to join them for meals. As we sat in one very classy restaurant as their guests, there was much opportunity to share the Gospel, and what God has done and is doing in our lives and they always listen with attention. Their son recently had a very nasty vision set-back, and is suddenly unable to see to drive. We pray that his may really bring him back to the Lord. Frederika celebrates her 96 th birthday on the 13 th , please continue to pray for her salvation. She finds it difficult to believe that Jesus is really the Messiah, and needs a revelation of who He is! Two Sinhales Bibles and a Sinhalese New Testament arrived, which we hope to hand over soon. A big thanks to all who wrote and prayed. bethlehem On Tuesday 25 th , I was finally able to visit Bethlehem again and see ABDM’s Mongoloid child. He made the long journey with his wife and three of his four children. Again, he was robbed of all the Olive Oil he was bringing for us, but fortunately they could not take what we were bringing him, this injustice grieves us. The little boy is obviously very weak, and has two holes in his heart, but he is hoping to bring him to an Israeli hospital for treatment, hopefully Rambam, so he can visit us. When Najeeb informed him that I had had a heart attack, he cried! I cried when I heard that his baby had Down’s Syndrome. I wish to God we could always share each other’s sorrows instead of hating each other. What a miracle of the grace of God. We also saw Sammy, he helps so many people who have no money to buy food, and thank God we are also able to help there. This was only a day trip, there were others who phoned and wanted to see us, but this must be left for another time. For those of you who prayed about the young couple who were trying to get married, one officially a Palestinian Moslem Background believer, and the other an Arab Christian, we have good news in that they were finally were able to get all their paperwork straight. We hope to have a blessing in Bethlehem, and a legal wedding in Cyprus early next month! They are a lovely young couple, and I was overjoyed to hear the news, and I might recover in time to make the celebration In Bethlehem. Pastor Najeeb, Elisabeth and daughter Kareen are in The USA until the end of the month, and are greatly missed. Perhaps the news of the month is that to our surprise, son Michael and Annie and their two children are selling their lovely apartment in Haifa to move to Nahariya, to help with the work here. Michael has some leadership experience, as well as being a musician, and translator. After an initial period, it is expected that he will be able to take on some of the responsibilities of a growing congregation. This turn of events was quite a surprise for us, and we take it as one of God’s blessings that he is showering upon us. We also ask prayer for Rania, the mother with her little five month old baby who is staying with us. Though also Moslem background, she too has mad a profession of faith this past month. Pray also for her safety, and that of the baby from the vengeful hand of Islam. With our warm greetings in the Lord, Ruth Nessim, Avi, Esther, and the leadership and ministry team!
