WHEREAS, we the undersigned, friends of Israel, affirm the eternal and steadfast love of God for Israel and the Jewish People as clearly decreed in the Word of God. “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness.” Jeremiah 31:3 WE AFFIRM the noble stand that our Prime Minister, the Right Honourable Stephen Harper has taken in support and solidarity of Israel: “The Jewish state can expect the full support and friendship of Canada.” Oct. 19, 2009 Toronto WE AFFIRM our Prime Minister’s explicit statement in his speech addressing the delegation of International Parliamentarians and global leaders at the International Conference to Combat Anti-Semitism, when he declared: "When Israel, the only country in the world whose very existence is under attack, is consistently and conspicuously singled out for condemnation, I believe we are morally obligated to take a stand. Demonization, double standards, delegitimization - the three D's - it is a responsibility of us all to stand up to them. As long as I am Prime Minister...Canada will take that stand, whatever the cost." Nov. 8, 2010 Ottawa WE AFFIRM, as stated in the Bible, that people, nations and leaders will be blessed when they bless Israel. “I will bless those that bless you (Israel) and whoever curses you (Israel) I will curse.” Genesis 12:3 WE AFFIRM that the State of Israel, like Canada, has a right to exist, prosper, thrive and defend her people against the pernicious onslaught of terror, racism and anti-Semitism targeted against them. WE AFFIRM the Abrahamic Covenant of God with Israel, and His promises, and in the giving of the land to the Jewish People as their everlasting homeland and eternal inheritance. “I will give you this land as an everlasting possession to your descendants after you.” Genesis 17:8 WE WILL PRAY, in accordance with the Word of the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, for the peace of Jerusalem. “Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem: ‘May those who love you be secure. May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels.’ For the sake of my brothers and friends, I will say: ‘Peace be within you.’ ” Psalm 122:6-8
