Transcript to Hal Lindsey Broadcast, which led to TBN suspension!

TBN Suspends Hal Lindsey's IIB Program, claiming it is PRO-ISRAEL and ANTI-MUSLIM

Here is the transcript from the International Intelligence Briefing broadcast, that got Hal Lindsey banned from TBN. It includes an amazing unedited interview with Benjamin Netanyahu.

The Offending 'Anti-Muslim' TV Script

Many have emailed me and requested to see the script for last week’s program that was rejected by the TBN Program Department as being too anti-Muslim and put “Arabs in a bad light.”

(Incidentally, my best friend in this unfortunate situation has been an Arab – Joe Farah, founder of WorldNetDaily)

The following is the exact script, word for word, that TBN used as the reason for dropping the program.

You be the judge as to whether this indeed was too anti-Muslim:

Good evening. If you’ve been watching the news over the last few days, you know that the past week has brought almost unprecedented political turmoil to the nation of Israel. And all of it a direct result of Israel’s recent pull-out from the Gaza Strip. The fallout from the withdrawal has actually toppled the Israeli government.

The good news is that Israel is a strong democracy and can withstand this kind of turmoil. The bad news is that Israel is having to endure this kind of turmoil in the first place. I believe that Israel’s hopes have been tragically founded on a failed policy of appeasement. This policy of land-for-peace has led and will continue to lead her to greater dismay and grief. A few days ago, I visited with former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about this very subject. Later in today’s program, you’ll see what he had to say. But first, let’s set the stage.

{TURN TO CAMERA 2}
Many crises have developed in Israel in the aftermath of the Gaza pull-out. First and foremost, the terrorist organizations led by Hamas have claimed it as a great victory of their Jihad. This has enabled them to establish de-facto control over Gaza. Second, when the Israelis turned over the Rafah checkpoint on the border between Gaza and Egypt, the terrorists flooded in with new and more lethal weapons. Among them were anti-tank missiles and SAM – or surface to air – missiles. The Egyptian soldiers who were supposed to prevent such things simply turned their heads. Third, intelligence shows that Al-Qaeda has moved into the Sinai Peninsula in a big way. The terrorist organization immediately took advantage of the lack of an Israeli presence at the Sinai entrance to Gaza and the area south of that border. They have developed strongholds in some formidable terrain that makes combating them extremely difficult. Fourth, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon suffered a crisis of confidence in the parliament that has caused him to leave the party he founded – the Likud – and form a new political party – Kadima. He asked Israel’s President to disband the Knesset and call an early election. Sharon’s new party is said to be more centrist than the hawkish Likud or the dovish Labor. Close associates say that by forming a new political base and asking for an electoral mandate from Israeli voters, Sharon is seeking greater freedom to finalize a deal with the Palestinians. Following the dictates of the Road Map to Peace, he is apparently prepared to offer the Palestinians independence in return for security. Prime Minister Sharon – nicknamed The Bulldozer – is so determined to see his plan through that Israel Today reports he is even considering proposing fundamental structural changes in the government that will limit the power of political parties. By the way, the Labor Party – which is the minority member of the current government – ousted its longtime leader Nobel Peace Prize winner Shimon Peres, and replaced him with a trade union organizer, Amir Peretz. Fifth, though Sharon still enjoys a lead in the popularity polls, Peretz of the liberal Labor party and Netanyahu, the new leader of the abandoned Likud party are gaining ground. Benjamin Netanyahu appears to have a very good chance of becoming Sharon’s successor as Prime Minister. His keen understanding of the terrorist threat and how they gain power has attracted new converts to his bid for the Prime Ministership. Also, the average Israeli is beginning to realize that his predictions of the consequences of the Oslo Accords have all come true. Sixth, the European Union has stepped into the Road Map to Peace process in a big way. It is blatantly anti-Israel and is causing even greater insecurity for the Israelis. In a deal brokered by US Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, the EU is now ‘supervising’ the all-important Rafah checkpoint. Though the EU forces are supposed to be neutral enforcers, evidence shows that they are anything but neutral. Furthermore the EU has expressed its ‘neutrality’ by preparing a preliminary report for adoption that will refuse to any longer recognize Jerusalem as the united capital of Israel. It instead refers to the annexed Israeli settlements of East Jerusalem as “illegal settlements.” The growing influence of the EU in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has great prophetic implications. Prophecy demands that the coming revised Roman Empire that will arise from the European Union will play a key role in ‘resolving the conflict.’ But it will only be a psuedo-peace that will ultimately lead to Armageddon.

All these developments have created a crisis of confidence in the Israeli people. During my recent trip to Israel, I detected – for the first time – a genuine fear among average Israelis. The one voice that showed strength and offered a detailed plan for getting Israel out of its dangerous position is that of Benjamin Netanyahu. In my opinion, he is the one person who can lead Israel out of the disastrous consequences of the Oslo Accords.

{TURN TO CAMERA 2}
In the United States the calls for an immediate withdrawal from Iraq are growing despite the recent 403 to 3 vote in the Congress against it. I fear America is falling victim to the same “Oslo Illusion” that has cost Israel so dearly over the past decade. The ‘Oslo Illusion’ has thus far robbed Israel of most of its hard-won territories along the West Bank and Gaza. It has de-facto reduced Israel’s ability to defend itself from invasion. Radicals who have sworn they will destroy Israel are now filling the West Bank and Gaza strip. They have terrorized even their fellow Palestinians into submission. On the fantastic tour I just led to Israel, I witnessed first-hand the dramatic changes that have taken place in the four years since I was last there. Israel is no longer the same place. Even to enter Bethlehem, we had to replace our Israeli guides with Palestinian guides. It was like traveling to an alien country. Most of the Christian Palestinians of Bethlehem have been driven away by the radical Muslims. One of the most thoughtful voices regarding the war America is now waging is former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In the months leading up to the conclusion of the Oslo Accords, Netanyahu predicted that the Oslo Agreement was really just part of Yasser Arafat’s Phased Plan for the Destruction of Israel. Prior to the White House signing ceremony in September of 1993, Netanyahu publicly identified the three elements to Arafat’s Phased Plan.

ONE ► To gain territory and establish an independent combatant national authority.

TWO ► To use that land as a base of operations for the continued war against Israel, and

THREE ► To provoke an all-out war between Israel and the Arab world to finish off what is left of the Jewish State.

Netanyahu’s predictions are proving to be absolutely on the mark. The more territory Israel conceded, the more the terrorists demanded. And when they obtained all they could by negotiation, they launched the current intifada. They continue to demand that Israel give them territory without requiring them to fulfill their most basic promise – to renounce terrorism and disarm the terrorists.

The former Prime Minister noted that, to terrorists, the perception of victory is more important than victory itself. Any and every concession is used by the radicals as proof that terrorism works and is evidence of Allah’s blessing on the jihad.

That gives them power over the non-radical Muslims who would just like to be able to work and feed their families. Earlier this year, US Senator Dick Durbin stood in the well of the Senate and compared American military forces to Nazis. He accused the United States of torturing prisoners at Guantanamo by depriving them of sleep and playing loud music to them in hot or cold rooms. To an American audience accustomed to creature comforts, that sounds kind of like ‘torture’.

But the word ‘torture’ has only one meaning in the Middle East. And it is too gruesome for the typical American mind to fathom. Durbin’s comments provided a propaganda windfall for terrorist recruiters. They have endlessly repeated this information on al-Jazeera and throughout the Arab world. For a US Senator to say, “US Forces Torture Prisoners” was all they needed.

A few days ago, Representative John Murtha called on the US to immediately withdraw from Iraq. He said the war with al-Qaeda was ‘unwinnable” and that American forces “have done all that they could do.” The terrorist insurgents THOUGHT they were losing. They were hiding in caves. They were always on the move, one step ahead of certain death. They even feared to use their cell phones. They dressed in women’s clothing to avoid detection. Then Congressman Murtha’s words gave al-Qaeda’s forces a ‘second wind.’

Now it’s reasonable for them to think that they ARE winning – not by actual military victories, but by propaganda. After all, a US Congressman confirmed it. Now they have renewed confidence. The reason ‘defeatism’ was such a dirty word during World War Two was because people realized that losing the war meant jackboots stomping down Pennsylvania Avenue. Those advocating defeat now are clueless to the nature of the threat facing the Western world and our nation in particular.

Our very existence is at stake in this war. Abandoning Iraq would so reward the terrorist enemy that there would be no stopping them. It would send a signal that the world’s only superpower was defeated by the superior faith and determination of Allah’s forces. It would encourage millions to join the winning side while there is still time. It would unleash an avalanche of attacks against the US homeland.

Don’t take just my word for it. I recently discussed these issues with Benjamin Netanyahu in an interview in Jerusalem. Here is part of what he told me.

INSERT EXCLUSIVE “BENJAMIN NETANYAHU” INTERVIEW (15:30 minutes)

Ad-Lib closing points,

1> It is critical for Christians to pray for Israel and its leadership.
2> Pray for God’s will in upcoming elections.
3> Look at what’s happening in light of prophecy and know that time is growing short.
4> Determine to share the Gospel with family and friends. There’s a sense of urgency.
5> If you’ve never committed your life to Christ, now is the time. Here’s how.
6> See you next week, God willing.

Whether the IIB program will actually be put back on air in January remains to be seen. But this whole incident has really proven the promise of Romans 8:28, “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” As a result of all of this, a number of new opportunities to broadcast this type of news show have been offered me.

The one problem that I have had is that I never had enough support financially to build a modest studio to videotape the program so as to take advantage of these opportunities. Many have offered to help.

I can't believe TBN took Hal off the air! Ever since I was a kid I could bet that someone in the family was watching and listening to Lindsey...

I just couldn't stomach the lady in the big eyelashes. What a clown. Now I know why...

TBN is a shameful operation, which needs to be exposed!

No kidding, so much "demonic doctrine", and not this?

I quit watching them before I got started, well I never could stand it anyway.

It seems to me that Hal Lindsey concocted the anti-arab reason for the cancellation for self-serving reasons.

Hal Lindsey gets cancelled EVERY holiday season because he does not do any shows with Christmas themes, which is required this time of year by TBN.

Good evening. If you’ve been watching the news over the last few days, you know that the past week has brought almost unprecedented political turmoil to the nation of Israel

A number of muslims (even non-radical/jihadists) don't recognize the right of Israel to exist. Calling it a "nation" is an affront to them.

There are/were two programs I watched...Jack and Rexella and Hal. I had to turn the programs on, not a mintue early or stay a minute late...or the "blashpeme" that surrounded on the remainder of TBN would shock me. Truly we are in the latter days....but I am so glad Hal Lindsey has a solid website. They can hinder him (TBN) but they can not silence him....

I was shock to find that Hal got suspend I do watch INtellgence briefing every Wednesday night

I hope he come back to January

He gets cancelled almost as often as he divorces and remarries.

Hal was on wife #3 in the 90s. Has he run up the score since then?

TBN is full of money-grubbing crooks and fakes. Unfortunately, they take in so much dough from the likes of Benny Hinn and Co. that they could never sever the connection.

Hal Lindsey gets cancelled EVERY holiday season because he does not do any shows with Christmas themes, which is required this time of year by TBN.

NICE TRY PAUL...hope you are wearing rubber soled shoes, so you aren't struck to violently by lightening!

Here are the archives of the International Intelligence Briefing, for the past two years! There has never been a BANNED for Christmas policy, until this year. Would you like to try another prevarication of us???

I never saw him as a kid but I read the Late Great Planet earth as a child and it made a big impression on me.

I have since lost confidence in modern prophecy but that is still a powerful book.

As for the content, I actually support most of Sharon's positions disagree with Lindsey on torture and several other parts of his broadcast, but I don't see any reason for an opposing view like this to be taken off the air. The religious community needs access to multiple views.

Hal Lindsey gets cancelled EVERY holiday season because he does not do any shows with Christmas themes, which is required this time of year by TBN.

Perhaps you read that in the book of Hezikiah?

Your links don't disprove TBN's claim that they require Christmas programming this time of year.

Nor do they disprove the claim that Hal Lindsey is removed from their program list every Christmas holiday.

IIRC, Hal Lindsey himself admits that his program comes off TBN every year for the Christmas holidays.

I read the Late Great Planet earth as a child and it made a big impression on me.

Shock rocker Marilyn Manson was also raised in a culture of apocalyptic hysteria.

>1- It is critical for Christians to pray for Israel and its leadership.
2- Pray for God’s will in upcoming elections.
3- Look at what’s happening in light of prophecy and know that time is growing short.
4- Determine to share the Gospel with family and friends. There’s a sense of urgency.
5- If you’ve never committed your life to Christ, now is the time. Here’s how.
6- See you next week, God willing.

Maybe I'm missing
secret codes in the wording,
but I don't see Hal

asking Christians to
strap on bombs and kill Muslims.
He's just saying pray,

seek guidance from God
and try to spread the Gospel.
That's a bad message??!!
