Jerusalem Betrayed

Summary: Accurate details of U.S. Govt. relations with terrorists!
Review: A MUST read for Jew and Christian alike; linking the betrayal of the Jewish people by covert members of many areas of the U.S. Government, most notably the CIA, in dealings with Arab terrorists. Mr. Evans does an excellent and credible job of pulling the wool AWAY from skeptic eyes or providing accurate knowledge for those who did not possess it before. As we near the countdown toward the millennium, can any person of faith not deny the dangers made inherent in this book? As a religious (Orthodox) Jew and a grandchild of Auschwitz survivors, I am stunned at Evan's deep personal faith and simplicity in outlining how much YOU NEED US no matter what happens during the "final days." I personally have two degrees in Theology, one from a Christian University, the other from a Secular environment. I cannot stress enough the worth that a religious Catholic or Evangelical Christian could learn from reading this valuable political and spiritual text as we all become more aware of the "countdown" to our modern times.

Summary: Some good, some bad, some factually challenging items
Review: It was an intereting treatise on the state of Israel. Certainly this has a Zionist flair. But there are a few things I find troubling about the book.

1. There are little or no foot notes and citations. Sources are quoted, but not identified. There are cases where news articles are refered to, but no citation is included. It is impossible to check the authors research. This is a problem for creditability.

2. Blaming the PLO for the Flight 800 crash is a stretch. Since no evidence is offered, only speculation, this is troubling. There are enough things done by the PLO to highlight. It is not helpful to use this type of conjecture to defame them even more.

The Author's bias is obvious, and there are hundreds of reasons to support an Israeli state. I am concerned that this only hurts the cause rather than helps it.

On a positive note, there is a very good synopsis of the history of the region, the different people who conquered Israel over the years that helps one understand the current conflict.

I am on a personal quest to learn about the region and its politics. I was glad to have read the book. I am not sure that I agree with all of the conclusions presented.

Summary: The Truth Behind Israel And The Ongoing Middle East Crisis.
Review: Mike Evans has very accurately described the background to current events in Jerusalem, Israel and the Middle East. I was very, very impressed with his depth of knowledge and his personal level of experience .

I was personally in Jerusalem in 1987, one week prior to the commencement of the original Palestinian Intifada. I clearly remember listening to an International Arab Radio Station broadcasting in English, what can only be described as outright incitement for all Arabs to rise up violently against the Jewish State. The rest is history with the Intifada beginning shortly afterwards.

I still vividly recall the shock and revulsion that I felt whilst listening to the radio broadcast. I was a stranger to the Middle East at that time and the cultures involved were somewhat 'foreign' to me. However, for the past thirteen years, I have studied Jerusalem, Israel and the Middle East in some depth and detail. I can subsequently only confirm the author's documented and personal views in this excellent book on the subject.

I can only strongly recommend this to every person who really wants to discover the truth about the ongoing crisis and it's implications for the future, which involve us all whether we like it or not. Some readers may find the contents alarming, but this should only challenge those who find themselves in this position to investigate the issues for themselves.

The real intentions of the Arab and Islamic worlds together with the hidden agendas of Western politicians are clearly outlined with evidence to back up every statement. The message has a considerable impact and one would be foolish to ignore it.

I have recently read two other books along the same lines which I can also heartily recommend. Both are written by another Middle East expert (Bible Teacher, Historian & Political Analyst), Mr. Ramon Bennett and are entitled 'Philistine' and most recently 'The Wall'. His insight into this subject is also remarkable.

The stories in these books are not what you see on CNN or read in the international media. They go far deeper and reveal the hidden truths behind today's headlines. Find out by reading for yourselves. Thanks for your time. Kindest regards to all.
