>> THIS WEEK ON "JERUSALEM
DATELINE," PALESTINIAN
PRESIDENT MAHMOUD ABBAS
CURSES PRESIDENT TRUMP AND
SAYS THE U.S. IS NO LONGER
PART OF THE PEACE PROCESS.
WE TAKE AN INDEPTH LOOK AT
THE FUTURE OF
U.S.-PALESTINIAN
RELATIONS.
PLUS...THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION BEGINS TO
PULL THE PLUG ON AID TO
UNWRA.
WHAT DOES THIS U.N. AGENCY
DO?
WHY DO SOME BELIEVE IT
HARMS BOTH PALESTINIANS
AND ISRAELIS.
>>> AND HOW ONE SYRIAN
BABY FOUND HOPE IN THE
MIDST OF A CIVIL WAR.
HELLO, AND WELCOME TO THIS
EDITION OF "JERUSALEM
DATELINE."
I'M CHRIS MITCHELL.
MAHMOUD ABBAS LAUNCHED A
SCATHING ATTACK ON
PRESIDENT TRUMP AND
ISRAEL.
IN A SPEECH TO THE P.L.O.
CENTRAL COUNCIL, HE
AFFECTIVELY BURIED 25
YEARS OF THE OSLO PEACE
ACCORDS.
JOHN WAGGI HAS MORE.
>> John: DURING HIS
RAMBLING ADDRESS, ABBAS
DECLARED THE OSLO PEACE
PROCESS DEAD, CURSEDED THE
HOUSE OF PRESIDENT TRUMP,
AND REJECTED ANY ROLE FOR
THE U.S. IN BROKERING A
U.S. AGREEMENT.
AND HE CALLED THE NATION
OF ISRAEL A COLONIAL
PROJECT OF WESTERN NATIONS
THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO
WITH JUDAISM.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU LEARNED
OF ABBAS' REMARKS WHILE IN
INDIA, AND HE WASN'T
SURPRISED.
>> Translator: HE HAS
REVEALED THE TRUTH.
HE HAS TORN OFF THE MASK
AND SHOWN TO THE PUBLIC
THE SIMPLE TRUTH I HAVE
BEEN WORKING TO INSTILL
FOR MANY LONG YEARS.
THE ROOT OF THE CONFLICT
BETWEEN US AND THE
PALESTINIANS IS THEIR
STEADFAST REFUSAL TO
RECOGNIZE ISRAEL IN ANY
BORDERS WHATSOEVER.
>> Reporter: ABBAS
CONTINUED HIS ATTACK,
CALLING TRUMP'S DECISION
TO RECOGNIZE JERUSALEM AS
ISRAEL'S CAPITAL SINFUL.
AND UNWRA WAS CREATED FOR
PALESTINIANS ONLY.
CRITICS SAY THAT AGENCY
SHOULD BE ABOLISHED SO ONE
COMMISSION COULD TAKE CARE
OF ALL REFUGEES.
NEFESH b'NEFSH SAY>> Chris: JOINING ME TO
TALK MORE ABOUT
U.S.-PALESTINIAN RELATIONS
AND THE DEVELOPMENTS IN
THE MIDDLE EAST IS JULIE
STAAL AND JOHN WAGGI.
JOHN, YOU JUST DID THAT
STORY ON MAHMOUD ABBAS,
AND HOW SIGNIFICANT IS
THIS SPEECH, AND WHAT DOES
IT MEAN FOR
U.S.-PALESTINIAN
RELATIONS?
>> I THINK IT IS QUITE
SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE THERE
IS NO TURNING BACK AFTER A
SPEECH LIKE THIS, AFTER
YOU BASICALLY SAY THERE IS
NO ROOM FOR U.S.
NEGOTIATIONS, AND THE U.S.
CANNOT BE A MEDIATOR
ANYMORE -- THAT LEAVES YOU
WITH LITTLE ROOM TO
MANEUVER.
HE HAS REALLY THROWN DOWN
THE GAUNTLET WITH THE U.S.
GOVERNMENT.
I THINK HE IS DISAPPOINTED
AT THE CHANGE FROM THE
BAROLDADMINISTRATION TO THE NEW
ADMINISTRATION.
THEY ARE SAYING IT IS A
TIME FOR A NEW ERA IN THE
MIDDLE EAST DIPLOMACY, AND
WE NEED HELP AGAINST IRAN,
THE SHI'ITE NATION, AND SO
WE'RE GOING TO SIDE WITH
THE UNITED STATES, AND
EVEN ISRAEL, AS OPPOSED TO
DOING THAT, WITH THE
PALESTINIANS.
SO I THINK ABBAS IS
FEELING A LITTLE LONELY
RIGHT NOW.
THE REALITY OF THE POWER
STRUCTURE IS A LOT
DIFFERENT, AND THE UNITED
STATES IS CHARTING A NEW
COURSE HERE.
>> Chris: AND ONE THING
HE DID IN THE SPEECH HERE,
HE ACTUALLY CURSED THE
TRUMP HOUSEHOLD AND HE
SAID THIS IS LIKE ONE OF
THE WORST CURSES YOU CAN
DO IN THE ARAB WORLD.
>> AND HIS SPOKES PEOPLE
TRIED TO BACKTRACK AND SAY
HE WAS JUST BEING SAC
SARCASTIC.
BUT THAT IS NOT JUST BEING
SARCASTIC.
>> Chris: JULIE, PRIME
MINISTER BENJAMIN
NETANYAHU WAS IN INDIA,
AND HE REACTED TO HIS
SPEECH.
AND HE SAID BASICALLY IT
TOOK THE MASK OFF OF
MAHMOUD ABBAS, WHICH IS
WHAT HE HAD BEEN SAYING
FOR YEARS, THAT THEY
FAILED TO RECOGNIZE A
JEWISH STATE.
>> YEAH, BASICALLY, THAT'S
IT.
THIS SHOWS WHY THERE IS NO
PEACE.
THERE IS NO PEACE PARTNER
ACROSS THE BOARD.
LEFT AND RIGHT, ISRAELIS
ACTED VERY STRONGLY
AGAINST WHAT MAHMOUD ABBAS
SAID.
OF COURSE, THERE IS A
SPLIT IN ISRAEL ABOUT WHAT
TO DO JUST NEXT.
THE OTHER OPTION IS JUST
RULING OVER THEM AND NOT
MAKING THAT CITIZENS.
THE EDUCATION MINISTER --
HIS IDEA IS TO HAVE
EMIRATES, WHERE THEY RULE
THEMSELVES IN THE MAJOR
POPULATION AREAS, AND THEN
ISRAEL HAS OVERALL
SECURITY.
>> Chris: FOR THOSE OF
US WHO HAVE COVERED THE
MIDDLE EAST FOR DECADES,
BACK FROM THE OSLO
ACCORDS, THIS IS KIND OF A
NEW WORLD ORDER, SORT OF.
THINGS ARE CHANGING AND
BREAKING UP.
DO YOU SEE IT THAT WAY AS
WELL?
>> Julie: DEFINITELY.
IT IS A PIVOT POINT.
I CAN REMEMBER 25 YEARS
AGO WHEN OSLO WAS SIGNED,
AND MANY PEOPLE WERE AGAS,
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN.
AND NOW IT LOOKS LIKE IT
IS REALLY FINISHED.
IT IS BREAKING DOWN.
WHAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE
NEXT, WE DON'T KNOW.
BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THIS
PHASE COULD BE FINISHED.
>> Chris: JOHN, WE
TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE,
BEFORE PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS
ELECTED.
WE TALKED TO LANCE WALNOW,
AND HE TALKED ABOUT TRUMP
BEING A POLITICAL WRECKING
BALL.
DO YOU SEE THIS HERE IN
THE MIDDLE EAST AS WELL?
>> John: ABSOLUTELY.
HE IS UPSETTING THE ORDER
LIKE IT HASN'T BEEN UPSET
IN DECADES AND DECADES.
THIS IS THE END OF THE
PEACE PROCESS.
MAHMOUD ABBAS WAS SUPPOSED
TO REPRESENT THE MODERATE
FACE OF THE PALESTINIANS
TO THE ENTIRE WORLD.
WHEREAS HAMAS EXPLICITLY
SAYS IN THEIR CHARTER, NO
MORE ISRAEL, FROM THE
MEDITERRANEAN TO THE
JORDAN RIVER.
SO NOW AFTER BILLIONS OF
DOLLARS INVESTED IN THE
PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY,
WE'VE GOT A SITUATION
WHERE EVEN THE ARAB
NATIONS SEEM TO BE
STEPPING AWAY FROM THE THE
PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY, AND
HE IS LEFT ESSENTIALLY BY
HIMSELF, SAYING WE WILL
MARCH ON JERUSALEM, IN A
PEACEFUL WAY.
AND WHO KNOWS HOW IT IS
GOING TO SHAKE OUT NEXT.
BECAUSE YOU'VE ALSO GOT
IRAN, WHICH DOESN'T WANT
TO SEE THE STEPS TO AN
AGREEMENT THAT PRESIDENT
TRUMP WANTS AND MINISTER
NETANYAHU SAYS HE WANTS.
THEY WANT AN AGREEMENT
THAT LEADS TO PEACE, AND
IRAN DOES NOT.
AND SO HOW ARE THEY GOING
TO INTERVENE IN ALL OF
THIS, TOO.
MANY, MANY QUESTIONS LEFT.
>> Chris: EXACTLY.
AND ONE OF THE QUESTIONS,
JULIE, VICE PRESIDENT MIKE
PENCE IS GOING TO BE HERE
IN A FEW DAYS.
>> Julie: HE IS.
>> Chris: WHAT DO YOU
ANTICIPATE FROM HIS VISIT?
>> Julie: YES THE
ISRAELI SIDE, A LOT OF
GOOD WELL.
AS FOR THE PALESTINIAN
SIDE, THEY'RE NOT PLANNING
ON MEETING WITH HIM.
I IMAGINE IT WILL BE
PRETTY UPBEAT VISIT.
>> Chris: WE'LL LOOK
FORWARD TO THAT.
JULIE AND JOHN, THANK YOU
FOR YOUR EXPERTISE.
WE ANTICIPATE MANY MORE
NEW DEVELOPMENTS COMING UP
IN THE NEXT MONTHS AND
YEARS.
THANK YOU.
>>> COMING UP, THEY CALL
IT CAMP JIHAD, AND SEE
WHAT IT MEANS FOR THE
>> Chris: THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION ANNOUNCED
IT WOULD FREEZE
$64 MILLION FOR UNWRA.
THAT'S HALF OF WHAT IT
USUALLY GIVES.
UNWRA STANDS FOR THE
UNITED NATIONS RELIEF AND
WORKS AGENCY.
HERE IS A STORY WE DID
SEVERAL YEARS AGO THAT WE
BELIEVE IS STILL RELEVANT
TODAY.
IT ADDRESSES WHO THIS U.N.
GROUP IS, WHY IT WAS
ESTABLISHED, AND HOW U.S.
TAXPAYERS MAY HAVE HELPED
PAY FOR THE FACILITIES,
WHERE LESSONS ON JIHAD
HAVE BEEN TAUGHT.
[SPEAKING A FOREIGN
LANGUAGE]
>> Chris: THIS CLIP
COMES FROM A 20-MINUTE
DOCUMENTARY, EXPOSING
SUMMER CAMPS THAT
ENCOURAGE PALESTINIAN
CHILDREN TO VIOLENTLY TAKE
BACK THEIR HOMES FROM
ISRAEL.
AND THE FILM POINTS TO A
CONNECTION BETWEEN THESE
CAMPS AND THE UNITED
NATIONS.
WHY THESE CAMPS WERE NOT
SPONSORED BY UNWRA, THEY
WERE HELD BY UNWRA FASS,
AND SOME SAY THAT MAKES
THE ORGANIZATION JUST AS
GUILTY.
[SPEAKING A FOREIGN
LANGUAGE]
>> Chris: DAVID BEDIN
POINTS OUT THAT THIS U.S.
AGENCY IS FUNDED BY THE
U.S. TAXPAYERS AND YNL
INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY.
>> THE DIRECTOR OF UNWRA
WAS IN OUR OFFICE SEVERAL
YEARS AGO, AND EXPLAINED
THAT EVERYTHING HAPPENING
IN THE UNWRA FACILITY GOES
ON WITH THE PERMISSION AND
ORGANIZATION OF UNWRA.
[SPEAKING A FOREIGN
LANGUAGE]
>> Chris: UNWRA TAKES
CARE OF MILLIONS OF
PALESTINIAN REFUGEES.
IN FACT, THE PALESTINIAN
ARE THE ONLY REFUGEE GROUP
WITH ITS OWN SEPARATE U.N.
AGENCY.
A SPOKESMAN TOLD CBN NEWS
THAT UNWRA WAS NOT
INVOLVED IN THE CAMPS.
>> IT HAS ABSOLUTELY
NOTHING TO DO WITH UNWRA.
>> Chris: FURTHER
INVESTIGATION SHOWS THAT
UNWRA ALLOWED A THIRD
PARTY TO USE THE FACILITY
FOR THE CAMPS.
ISRAEL SAYS UNWRA IS STILL
RESPONSIBLE.
>> THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT
THIS HAPPENED, AND THEY
DISCONTINUED RELATIONS
WITH THE THIRD PARTY, WHO
WAS USING THEIR FACILITY.
>> Chris: FOREIGN
MINISTRY SPOKESMAN PAUL
HERSHIN SAYS THE WEST AND
THE WORLD SHOULD STILL BE
OCCURRED.
>> THIS IS NOT THE FIRST
TIME THIS IS HAPPENING IN
THE UNWRA FACILITIES.
EVEN IF IT IS NOT UNWRA
ITSELF WHO IS DOING IT.
IT IS MY MONEY AND YOUR
MONEY, TAXPAYER MONEY THAT
IS FUNDING THEM.
YOU WOULD THINK PERHAPS
THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO VET
THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT
THEY'RE ALLOWING INTO
THEIR FACILITIES.
>> UNWRA DOES NOT GET
MONEY FROM THE UNITED
NATIONS.
IT GETS MONEY FROM 38
DEMOCRACIES, THE LEADING
ONES ARE THE UNITED STATES
AND THE EUROPEAN UNION.
>> AT THE END OF THE DAY,
THIS KIND OF VIOLENT
BRAINWASHING IS NOT
HELPFUL TO ANYBODY.
[SPEAKING A FOREIGN
LANGUAGE]
>> Chris: UP NEXT...A
GOOD NEWS STORY FROM THE
MIDDLE EAST ON HOW SOME
ARE SAVING A CHILD'S
HEART.
>> Chris: DESPITE THE
CONTENTIOUS ISSUES OF THE
ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN
CONFLICT, UNWRA, SOME GOOD
THINGS ARE HAPPENING IN
THE MIDDLE EAST.
HERE IS A STORY WE'VE DONE
AT HOW ISRAEL IS SAVING
LIVES AND SAVING A CHILD'S
HEART.
MEET NIAZ, SHE IS NEARLY
TWO YEARS OLD.
SHE LOOKS HEALTHY, BUT
WITHOUT LIFE-SAVING HEART
SURGERY, SHE WOULDN'T LIVE
FOR LONG.
THAT DIAGNOSIS CAME FROM
DOCTORS WHO SAW HER IN THE
SYRIAN REFUGEE CAMP, WHERE
WAR FORCED HER TO LIVE.
HER DECISION TO TAKE HER
LITTLE GIRL TO ISRAEL WAS
NOT AN EASY ONE FOR HER
MOTHER.
DUE TO FEAR OF POSSIBLE
REPERCUSSION, WE HID HER
IDENTITY.
>> FIRST I WAS AFRAID OF
THE THOUGHT OF COMING
HERE.
BUT AFTER SOME THOUGHT AND
DISCUSSION WITH MY
HUSBAND, WE DECIDED IT WAS
WORTH IT FOR THE SURGERY.
>> Chris: IT WAS A
PERILOUS JOURNEY.
THEY FLED THE SYRIAN WAR
ZONE TO NORTHERN IRAQ, AND
THEN MADE THRE THEIR WAY
THROUGH JORDAN AND THEN
INTO ISRAEL FOR THE
SURGERY.
THIS IS AS A RESULT OF THE
WORK OF AN ISRAELI
ORGANIZATION THAT FINDS
AND HELPS KIDS IN THE
MIDDLE EAST.
IT SERVES AS A BRIDGE
BETWEEN THE MUSLIM WORLD
AND THE JEWISH STATE.
>> WE'RE GRATEFUL TO THE
OPPORTUNITY THAT THE LORD
HAS GIVEN US TO PARTNER,
TO BE THAT MIDDLE -- TO BE
THOSE PEOPLE WHO CAN GO
PLACES THE JEWISH DOCTORS
CAN'T GO.
PEOPLE WHO CAN GO PLACES
THAT THE MUSLIM FAMILIES
CAN'T GO.
WE'VE BEEN GRANTED THE
OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO ALL
OF THE CORNERS OF THE
WORLD AND TO BRING --
AGAIN, TO BRING THE
MESSAGE OF PEACE AND LOVE.
>> Chris: THEY WORK
TOGETHER WITH PARTNERS
SUCH AS "SAVE A CHILD'S
HEART," AND HOSPITALS LIKE
THE WOLFSON CENTER IN TEL
AVIV.
THEY PROVIDE LIFE-SAVING
SURGERY FOR CHILDREN OFTEN
FOR PLACES THAT CONSIDER
ISRAEL THE ENEMY.
THIS DOCTOR CO-FOUNDED THE
PROGRAM 20 YEARS AGO.
>> MAYBE PEOPLE WILL CALL
ME NAIVE, BUT I THINK
DEALING WITH THE
PALESTINIANS AND PATIENTS
COMING FROM ENEMY
COUNTRIES, AND THEY KNOW
WHAT WE DID FOR THAT
CHILD, AND IT PUTS
EVERYTHING IN A NEW
PERSPECTIVE.
IT SEEMS THAT WE ARE NOT
THE MONSTER THAT EVERYBODY
WANTS TO DRAW US AS.
I THINK IT IS
TRUST-BUILDING STEPS.
>> Chris: WHEN NIAZ
ARRIVED, DOCTORS GAVE HER
A GRIM DIAGNOSIS.
>> SHE ALREADY HAD DAMAGE
TO THE LUNGS.
THIS MAKES THE SURGERY
EVEN MORE DIFFICULT.
IT MAKES IT WITH HIGHER
COMPLICATIONS.
>> Chris: AS NIAZ'S
MOTHER PREPARED HER LITTLE
GIRL FOR SURGERY, DOCTORS
SCRUBBED UP FOR AN
OPERATION THEY KNEW WOULD
BE CHALLENGING.
NIAZ HAS A RARE HEART
DEFECT.
SHE HAS A HOLE BETWEEN HER
TWO MAJOR ARTERIES.
RIGHT NOW DOCTORS ARE
TRYING TO CLOSE THAT HOLE,
BUT IT IS COMPLICATED
BECAUSE THE SURGERY,
IDEALLY, SHOULD HAVE BEEN
DONE SEVERAL YEARS AGO.
THE SURGERY TOOK SEVERAL
HOURS, AND REQUIRED A TEAM
OF DOCTORS, NURSES, AND
STATE OF THSTATE-OF-THE-ART
EQUIPMENT.
VOLUNTEERS STAYED WITH
NIAZ'S MOTHER, AS SHE
WAITED AND HOPED FOR A
MIRACLE.
>> IT SEEMS SUCCESSFUL.
THERE WAS A BIG HOLE
BETWEEN THE TWO ARTERIES.
>> Chris: FOLLOWING THE
SURGERY, A TEAM WORKED ON
NIAZ FOR DAYS, UNTIL THEY
COULD ANALYZE THE FULL
EXTENT OF THE PROCEDURE.
>> WHAT WE SEE RIGHT NOW,
FOLLOWING SURGERY,
ALTHOUGH SHE CAME LATE,
THE RESULTS WERE AMAZING.
>> Chris: CARE PROVIDED
THROUGHOUT THE ORDEAL MADE
A HUGE IMPACT ON NIAZ'S
MOTHER.
FOR MANY, IT IS LIKE A
MIDDLE EAST PEACE PLAN.
>> WE EXPERIENCED FEAR,
HESITATION, DISTRUST, EVEN
OF THE ISRAELI DOCTORS AND
SOMETIMES OF US, AND WHAT
IS REALLY A BLESSING IS
SEEING THAT DISTRUST TURN
TO LOVE, SEEING THE FEAR
TURN TO CONFIDENCE, AND
SEEING THESE KIDS' LIVES
SAVED, AND ALSO SEEING
THEIR PARENTS AND THEIR
FAMILIES -- THEIR
VIEWPOINTS RADICALLY
CHANGE FOR THE GOOD.
>> KNOWING SOMEBODY ELSE
WOULD DO IT AND THE
PATIENT WOULD DIE IF NOT
FOR SURGERY, AND TO SEE
THE PATIENT RECOVERING, IT
IS BEYOND ANY DESCRIPTION.
>> Chris: NIAZ SURVIVED
HER SURGERY AND HEADED
BACK TO SYRIA WITH A NEW
HEART.
>> I'M VERY HAPPY.
I'M VERY GLAD.
I THANK ALL OF THE JEWISH
DOCTORS THAT TREATED OUR
DAUGHTER, AND I GOT GOOD
TREATMENT FROM ALL OF THE
STAFF HERE.
AND ALSO SHIVAT AKIM, WHO
BROUGHT US TO THE
HOSPITAL.
>> SHE WILL HAVE A NORMAL
LIFE.
SHE CAN DO SPORTS, IF HER
GENETICS SEES IT, THEN SHE
CAN GO TO THE OLYMPICS.
SHE CAN GET MARRIED AND
HAVE CHILDREN.
SHE CAN BECOME A DOCTOR,
WHATEVER.
HER PROGNOSIS RIGHT NOW IS
THAT OF A NORMAL CHILD.
>> Chris: WHAT WOULD
HAVE HAPPENED IF SHE
DIDN'T HAVE THE SURGERY?
>> SHE WOULD HAVE DIED.
SHE WOULD HAVE DIED.
>> Chris: UP NEXT, A
LOOK AT THE HISTORY AND
HEROS OF CHRISTIAN ZIONISM
AND THEIR ROLE IN MODERN
ISRAEL.
>> Chris: WHEN THE
PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY
PRESIDENT ADDRESSED THE
P.L.O. CENTRAL COUNCIL, HE
CONDEMNED THE ROLE OF
CHRISTIAN ZIONISTS, LIKE
ENGLAND'S LORD BALFOUR IN
THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE
MODERN STATE OF ISRAEL.
BUT HERE IN ISRAEL, THERE
IS A STATE-OF-THE-ART
MUSEUM THAT CELEBRATES
BALFOUR AND OTHER
CHRISTIANS WHO PLAYED A
MAJOR ROLE IN THE
FORMATION OF TODAY'S
JEWISH STATE.
TAKE A LOOK.
THE MUSEUM GREETS VISITORS
WITH A PROFOUND
INTRODUCTION, STUNNING
AERIALS OF ISRAEL, WHILE A
MAP TRACES THE LAND GIVEN
BY GOD TO THE 12 TRIBES,
ALL SET TO
ORIGINALLY-SCORED MUSIC.
*
>> Chris: THE MUSEUM
USES STATE-OF-THE-ART
TECHNOLOGY.
FOR EXAMPLE, THIS AREA IS
ONE OF THE LARGEST TOUCH
PANEL EXHIBITS ANYWHERE IN
THE WORLD.
TOUCH ONE OF THESE PANELS,
AND YOU CAN FIND OUT MORE
INFORMATION ABOUT
CHRISTIAN ZIONISTS
THROUGHOUT HISTORY.
THE MODERN FEATURES, LIKED
VIDEO MAPPING, AIM TO TELL
NEW AUDIENCES ONE OF THE
MOST COMPELLING AND OFTEN
UNKNOWN STORIES ABOUT
MODERN ISRAEL, THE ROLE OF
CHRISTIAN ZIONISM.
ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU
ADDRESSED THIS IN A 2012
SPEECH.
>> I DON'T BELIEVE THAT
THE JEWISH STATE AND
MODERN ZIONISM WOULD HAVE
BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT
CHRISTIAN ZIONISM.
I THINK THAT THE MANY
CHRISTIAN SUPPORTERS OF
THE REBIRTH OF THE JEWISH
STATE AND THE IN-GATHERING
OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE MADE
POSSIBLE THE RISE OF
ZIONISM.
>> Chris: THEY BUILT THE
MUSEUM TO SPREAD THE WORD
OF CHRISTIANS' PLACE.
>> WANTING A HOME TO
CELEBRATE THE CHRISTIANS.
THEY HAVE HEROS AND THEY
HAVE HISTORY.
>> Chris: THERE IS THIS
TWO-VOLUME SET, WRITTEN BY
EVANS.
>> IF YOU JUST TAKE GEORGE
BUSH, 1844, THIS GUY WAS A
HEBREW PROFESSOR, AND HE
WROTE A BOOK THAT SOLD A
MILLION COPIES ON THE
RESTORATION OF ISRAEL.
AND, YES, HIS TWO
RELATIVES WERE U.S.
PRESIDENTS.
>> Chris: OTHERS, LIKE
ORD WINGATE, FORMED THE
FIRST JEWISH FIGHTING UNIT
IN 2,000 YEARS, THE
BEGINNING OF THE ISRAELI
ARMY WE SEE TODAY.
WOMEN LIKE CORY AND HER
FAMILY.
THE NAZIS KILLED HER
FATHER AND SISTER, AND SHE
SUFFERED IN A
CONCENTRATION CAMP.
AND RAUL WALLENBURG FACED
DEATH TO SAVE JEWS.
>> HE TRIED TO SAVE ANYONE
HE COULD.
>> WHAT WAS IT THAT -- TO
FACE DEATH?
I REALIZED THEY HAD AN
INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP WITH
THE LIVING LORD, AND THEY
LOVED THE WORD OF GOD, AND
THEY WERE WILLING TO
COMMIT THEIR LIFE FOR IT.
AND WITH THE WORD OF GOD
CAME THE PROMISES OF THE
JEWISH PEOPLE.
>> Chris: THOSE PROMISES
ARE WO WOVEN IN THE EXHIBITS,
FROM EZEKIEL TO ABRAHAM.
>> ONE DAY GOD APPEARED TO
ABRAHAM, AND SPOKE THE
WORDS THAT WOULD GIVE
BIRTH TO THE NATION OF
ISRAEL.
>> Chris: FOR VISITORS,
THE EXPERIENCE IS WOW.
>> IT IS AN EXPERIENCE
LIKE NO OTHER.
YOU GO IN THERE, AND IT IS
INTERACTIVE.
YOU WILL LEARN A LOT OF
THINGS YOU PROBABLY NEVER
EVER LEARNED.
>> I THINK THIS IS ONE OF
THE MOST IMPRESSIVE THINGS
I'VE SEEN IN ISRAEL DURING
THE TIME I'VE BEEN HERE.
>> I AM GOING TO TELL
EVERYONE I CAN THINK OF,
PEOPLE IN MY SYNAGOGUE, TO
COME HERE TO SEE HOW THIS
BEAUTIFUL LAND OF ISRAEL
WAS NOT BUILT JUST BY THE
JEWS, BUT BY THE
CHRISTIANS AND THE
WONDERFUL PEOPLE WHO
RISKED THEIR LIVES TO MAKE
US A HOMELAND.
>> Chris: FOR EVANS, THE
MUSEUM LET'S THE JEWISH
PEOPLE KNOW THAT ALTHOUGH
ENEMIES SURROUND ISRAEL.
THEY'RE NOT ALONE.
>> THEY SEE AUSCHWITZ AND
WHAT THEY WENT THROUGH,
AND THEY SEE THE
ALIENATION IN THE WORLD
TODAY.
AND THEY COME THROUGH IT
AND THEY SAY, WE'RE NOT
ALONE.
THERE ARE CHRISTIANS WHO
REALLY LOVE US.
AND IT IS JUST AMAZING TO
SEE THAT.
IT GIVES ME HOPE.
I'M NOT ALONE.
THAT'S ENOUGH.
>> Chris: IF YOU COME TO
JERUSALEM, I'M SURE YOU'LL
LOVE TO VISIT THE MUSEUM.
>>> THAT'S ALL FOR THIS
EDITION.
