Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday issued a Christmas message to Christians across the world.
“Christmas is supposed to be a time of good will to all men and peace on Earth. Well, we don’t have peace on Earth, not in our part anyway, and we certainly don’t see good will to all men,” began the premier.
“We’re facing monsters, monsters who murdered children in front of their parents and parents in front of their children, who raped and beheaded women, who burned babies alive, who took babies hostages. This is a battle not only of Israel against these barbarians, it’s a battle of civilization against barbarism. And I know in this that we have your support,” continued Netanyahu.
“I want to thank you for your prayers. And I want to assure you, that as we stand together, we will also prevail. We shall win this war and secure our common values and our common future,” he added.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:
To our Christian friends around the world, Merry Christmas.

It isn’t by standing together that peace will come, it’s by turning to God –
2Ch 32:8 With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles.
1Sam 14:6 … for there is no restraint to the LORD to save by many or by few.
Mal 3:7 Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts
Mal 4:2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings;
Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Isa 9:7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
– THEN there WILL be peace on earth…
