- "The genie
will not go back into the bottle again, whether you like it or
not." — Geert Wilders, MP and head of the Party for Freedom, the
Netherlands.
- A growing number
of Europeans are rebelling against decades of government-imposed
multiculturalism, politically correct speech codes and mass migration
from the Muslim world.
- Europe's
establishment parties, far from addressing the concerns of ordinary
voters, have tried to silence dissent by branding naysayers as
xenophobes, Islamophobes and neo-Nazis.
- "In many
respects, France and Germany are proving they do not understand the
meaning of Brexit. They are reflexively, almost religiously, following
exactly the path that has provoked the EU's current existential
crisis." — Ambassador John R. Bolton, former U.S. ambassador to
the United Nations.
- "There is a
genuine feeling that Trump taking over the White House is part of a
bigger, global movement. Our critics, looking at Trump's candidacy and
his speech yesterday, would call it the rise of populism. I would say
it's simply a return to nation state democracy and proper values....
This is a genuine political revolution." — Nigel Farage, former
head of Britain's UKIP party, who led the effort for the United
Kingdom to leave the EU.
- "This
disruption is fruitful. The taboos of the last few years are now fully
on the agenda: illegal immigration, Islam, the nonsense of open
borders, the dysfunctional EU, the free movement of people, jobs, law
and order. Trump's predecessors did not want to talk about it, but the
majority of voters did. This is democracy." — Roger Köppel,
editor-in-chief of Die Weltwoche, Switzerland.

Inspired by the inauguration of U.S. President Donald J. Trump, the
leaders of Europe's main anti-establishment parties have held a
pan-European rally aimed at coordinating a political strategy to mobilize
potentially millions of disillusioned voters in upcoming elections in
Germany, the Netherlands and France.
Appearing together in public for the first time, Marine Le Pen, leader
of the French National Front, Frauke Petry, leader of the Alternative for
Germany (AfD), Geert Wilders, leader of the Dutch Party for Freedom (PVV),
Matteo Salvini, leader of Italy's Northern League and Harald Vilimsky of
Austria's Freedom Party gathered on January 21 at a rally in Koblenz,
Germany, where they called on European voters to participate in a
"patriotic spring" to topple the European Union, reassert
national sovereignty and secure national borders.

- The immediate two
aims of the Kairos Document are: 1) to boycott Israel and the Jewish
historical connection to the Land of Israel; 2) to neutralize the
support of Christian Zionists and any other Christians for Israel.
- The World Council
of Churches (WCC) Secretariat targets Israel's tourist industry and
aspires to re-direct pilgrims from Israel to the Palestinian area, and
to guide pilgrims from having a positive outlook on Israel to having
negative reactions to the Jewish State.
- Many faithful
Christians, including a good portion of the fine Lutheran Church of
Hannover, are hardly aware of the degree of deception employed by the
WCC Secretariat. They would be scandalized to know that they were
being used for the Secretariat's scheme of nationalism and
anti-Semitism.

The Christian faith is known for holding aspects of the divine
commitment to the Jewish people by seven biblical covenants: six
unconditional ones with Abraham (Gen 12, 1-3), the Land (Gen 12, 1), the
Levites (Num 25, 10-13), David (2 Sam 7, 10-16), Israel and Judah (Jer 31,
31-34), Jerusalem (Ez 16), and one conditional one at Sinai (Ex 19, 5).
Those commitments are preceded by the universal covenant with the whole
creation (Gen 9, 12-17). Many attempts which try to re-draw that celestial
union of universality-cum-Israel-particularity fall, unswervingly, into the
trap of nationalism and anti-Semitism.
