THIS WEEK ON JERUSALEM

DATELINE.

THE BATTLE FOR MOSUL BEGINS.

AND WHO

IS BETTER FOR ISRAEL? AND

WHO

FORGIVES HERE ATTACKERS.

ALL OF THIS ON JERUSALEM

DATELINE.

HELLO AND WELCOME TO THIS

EDITION

OF JERUSALEM DATELINE.

I'M CHRIS MITCHELL. IT'S

SUKKOT IN

JERUSALEM. LATER IN THE

PROGRAM WE'LL

GO TO STREETS OF THE CITY AND

MEET

THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO WILL

BE AT THE

PARADE FOR THE FEAST OF THE

TABERNACLES.

FIRST IN IRAQ. THEY

CONTINUE THEIR

DEFENSES AGAINST MOSUL

CAPTURED IN

2014.

IT'S JUST A START OF THE MUCH

LARGER

BATTLE OVER WHO WILL CONTROL

THE

SECOND LARGEST CITY.

THIS IS A BATTLE AS IRAQI

FORCES

MOVE INTO THE CITY. THEY

CAPTURED

SEVEN VILLAGES OUTSIDE MOSUL.

TODAY WE ARE GOING TO

FIGHT.

THE ENEMY HAS CLEARLY SHOWN

IT'S READY

TO DIE. THIS SIZES SUICIDE

BOMBER BLEW

HIMSELF UP. IRAQI FORCES ARE

RECEIVING

HELP FROM 100TH AIR BORN AND

US

STRIKES. THIS IS A SUCCESSFUL

CONFLICT.

THIS HAS PROVEN TO BE A

LONG BATTLE

THAT THE IRAQIS HAVE PREPARED

FOR AND

WE STAND BY THEM. THE IRAQI

COALITION

ARE NOT ONLY FIGHTING FOR THE

FUTURE

OF IRAQ, WE ARE FIGHTING FOR

THE

SECURITY OF ALL OF OUR

NATION.

THE ATTACKS OF MOSUL AND

WHO

CONTROLS MOSUL WHEN THE

BATTLE IS OVER.

THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

THAT IS THE QUESTION.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE FALL

OF MOSUL.

HE TOLD THE CAMPAIGN IS

JUST THE

BEGINNING.

THE WORK IS AFTERWARDS.

IT'S THE PART ABOUT THE

SOLUTIONS

AFTERWARDS THAT NEED TO BE

MEANINGFUL.

WHILE THE FUTURE OF MOSUL

REMAINS

UNCLEAR, THE ISIS DREAM OF A

CALIPHATE

IS CRUMBLING.

THE FALL MEANS ISIS NEEDS A

NEW STORY

LINE.

IT WAS TO BE THE SITE OF A

BATTLE.

JOINING ME IS CBN

CORRESPONDENT

JOHN AND JULIE.

YOU JUST REALIZE THE

PROFOUND

RAMIFICATIONS THAT ARE OUT

THERE.

WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS

NOT JUST

FOR IRAQ, BUT THE ENTIRE

REGION.

THE EASY PART MIGHT BE THE

REGION,

THE HARDER PART IS OVER WHO

IS GOING

TO CONTROL MOSUL AND THAT

PART OF IRAQ

AND SYRIA FOR THAT MATTER

BECAUSE YOU

NEED TO THINK OF IT AS ONE

LARGER

SYRIA AND IRAQ.

YOU HAVE NOT ONLY THAT

REGION, BUT

YOU HAVE THE SUPER POWERS.

YOU HAVE THE UNITED STATES

AND RUSSIA

TRYING TO OCCUPY THE MIDDLE

EAST AND

YOU HAVE ALSO IRAN ATTEMPTING

TO GO

NUCLEAR.

IT CAN BE A KIND OF

UNPREDICTABLE

EVENT.

WHY SHOULD AMERICA CARE

ABOUT IT?

AMERICANS SHOULD CARE

BECAUSE IT'S

GOING TO AFFECT AMERICA

DIRECTLY FIRST

OF ALL BECAUSE AMERICA HAS

HAD A

PRESENCE HERE IN IRAQ AND

THEY ARE

LEAVING THAT VACUUM. AND

THESE ARE

ENEMIES OF THE UNITED STATES

AND IT'S

GOING TO HAVE A DIRECT IMPACT

ON THE

AMERICANS. WHERE IS IT GOING

TO GO ?

A LOT OF US DON'T KNOW, BUT

THIS

SEASON IS JUST A PRELUDE TO A

MUCH

MORE DANGEROUS SEASON WHEN

YOU HAVE

ALL THE MAJOR POWERS OF

WHAT'S

HAPPENING IN THE MIDDLE EAST.

THE NEXT

BIG THING ON THE AGENDA RIGHT

NOW IS

THE US ELECTIONS.

A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE ASKING

THE

QUESTION, IS IT HILLARY

CLINTON OR

DONALD TRUMP? WHO IS BETTER

FOR

ISRAEL.

IT'S A PROFOUND QUESTION.

DESPITE ALL THE TROUBLES

AROUND THEM,

ISRAELIS ARE PAYING CLOSE

ATTENTION.

ISRAELI AND GOVERNMENT

OFFICIALS

WILL HAVE TO WORK WITH

WHOEVER AMERICA

CHOOSES IN THE END, BUT THEY

HAVE AN

OPINION OF THEIR CHOICES FOR

ISRAEL.

HILARY REALLY CARES ABOUT

ISRAEL

AND AS A JEWISH FAITH AND

IT'S

SECURITY.

WITH DONALD TRUMP, I JUST

DON'T KNOW.

DONALD TRUMP AND THE

REASON IS

FIRST OF ALL HE HAS SET UP A

SPECIAL

TEAM THAT DEALS ONLY RELATED

TO ISRAEL

POLICY MATTERS AND THE OTHER

CHOICE IS

OBAMA.

43% PREFER HILLARY

CLINTON,

COMPARED TO 34% FOR TRUMP.

BUT WHEN

ASKED SPECIFICALLY WHO WOULD

BE BETTER

FOR ISRAEL, 38% ANSWERED

TRUMP.

WHILE 33% SAID CLINTON.

EXPERT ON U.S. RELATIONS DAN

SAYS,

ISRAELIS WANT A PRESIDENT WHO

WILL

TAKE A STRONGER STANCE ON

IRAQI

CHRISTIANS.

OVER THE STRONG COVERAGE

FROM THE

REPUBLICAN PARTY OVER THE

PAST

DECADES, ISRAELIS FEEL MORE

COMFORTABLE WITH REPUBLICANS

THAN WITH

DEMOCRATS.

IT'S INTERESTING THAT IN THIS

ELECTION, THE ROLES SEEM TO

BE

REVERSED AND MORE ISRAELIS

SUPPORT

CLINTON.

THAT'S BECAUSE CLINTON IS

A

COMMODITY.

HE'S IN ISRAEL.

HE SAYS THOSE THOUSANDS OF

PEOPLE THAT

LIVE HERE IN ISRAEL GENERALLY

BELIEVE

THE MORE COUNTER PARTS IN THE

U.S..

INITIALLY FROM AMERICA ARE

MOSTLY

COMMITTED BY THE JEWS WHO

THINK JEWS

ARE IMPORTANT THAT MAY LIVE

IN THE

SETTLEMENT.

SO WHERE DEMOCRATIC POLICY

UNDER

PRESIDENT OBAMA, HAS BEEN A

HOT SPOT,

MANY GRAVITATE TOWARDS

REPUBLICANS.

85% OF AMERICANS HERE VOTE

REPUBLICAN.

TRUMP IN 2016, I'M GETTING

EVERYDAY

PEOPLE ARE COMING UP TO ME,

ORDINARY

ISRAELIS HAVE NO RIGHT TO

VOTE.

THEY ARE GIVING ME A HUG AND

GIVING ME

THE THUMBS UP.

ALTHOUGH IT'S QUESTIONABLE

HOW MUCH

OF AN IMPACT ABSENTEE BALLOTS

HAVE ON

U.S. ELECTIONS, MANY COME

FROM SWING

STATES LIKE FLORIDA AND THAT

MIGHT

JUST HIT THE SCALES.

JOHN IS HERE TO TALK ABOUT

THE U.S.

ELECTIONS.

JOHN, THE SWING STATES ARE

GOING TO

DETERMINE THIS ELECTION. HOW

YOU DO

YOU SEE THIS PLANNING OUT

NOW?

THE PURPOSE IS IF YOU WANT

THE

EXTENSION OF THE OBAMA

PRESIDENCY WITH

HARANGUING WITH BUILDING

JEWISH

APARTMENTS AND THE IRAN DEAL

AND THE

ISRAELIS HAVE TO BATTLE THAT

OUT WITH

DONALD TRUMP.

HE'S GOING TO HAVE THE

NUCLEAR SUIT

CASE IF HE'S THE PRESIDENT OF

THE

UNITED STATES.

THERE IS A BATTLE ON ALL

SIDES.

THEY PREFER HILLARY CLINTON

BECAUSE

IT'S WHO THEY KNOW, BUT IT'S

GOING TO

HAVE A BIG IMPACT ON THIS

PART OF THE

WORLD NO DOUBT ABOUT IT NO

MATTER WHO

IS ELECTED.

I WAS WITH SOME ISRAELIS

AND THEY

WANTED HILLARY CLINTON

BECAUSE THEY

ARE AFRAID OF DONALD TRUMP.

JULIE, HOW ARE ISRAELIS

REACTING TO

THIS

THEY LIKE BILL CLINTON.

THEY FEEL

LIKE HILARY IS SOMEBODY THEY

KNOW.

I THINK FOR ISRAEL IN A

LARGER SENSE

IT'S NOT WHO WILL BE FRIENDS

WITH

ISRAEL ITSELF, BUT HOW ARE

THEY GOING

TO DEAL WITH THE OTHER

REGION, WITH

IRAN AND SYRIA WHICH IS RIGHT

ON THE

ISRAELI BORDER.

THOSE ARE THE KIND OF ISSUES

THAT ARE

MORE SECURITY WISE PROBABLY

MORE

CONCERNING FOR THE ISRAELIS.

YOU TALK ABOUT THE SUPER

POWER OF

THE RUSSIANS, HOW DO YOU SEE

THAT

PLAYING OUT?

THE RUSSIANS HAVE A VACUUM

CREATED

BY OBAMA.

ESPECIALLY WHEN AMERICANS ARE

MORE

WEARY AND THEY DON'T WANT TO

HAVE AN

INVESTMENT IN US TROOPS. IF

THEY KEEP

TREADING AND ALLOWING THAT.

THANK YOU.

I'M SURE WE ARE GOING TO BE

SEEING THE

CONSEQUENCES OF THIS ELECTION

IN THE

MIDDLE EAST HERE TOWARDS

ISRAEL WITHIN

THE YEARS TO COME.

COMING UP, A REMARKABLE

STORY HOW

ONE TERROR VICTIM FORGAVE HER

CAPTOR.

I HAD NO MONEY ONLY GOD'S

HERE NOW IN

THE STREETS OF JERUSALEM

WHERE

THOUSANDS OF PILGRIMS COME TO

CELEBRATE THE TABERNACLES. WE

HAVE A

STORY TO TELL YOU NOW ABOUT A

CHRISTIAN WOMAN WHO HELPED

ARAB

CHILDREN WHO WERE INVOLVED IN

A TERROR

ATTACK ABOUT A YEAR AGO.

HERE IS THE REMARKABLE STORY

OF HOW

SHE'S GONE ON AFTER THAT

ATTACK.

SHE LEFT WITH A GOAL TO

BECOME A

FOSTER MOM TO ARAB CHILDREN.

I HAD NO MONEY, I HAD

NOTHING.

I HAD ONLY GOD'S PROMISE THAT

TO TAKE

CARE OF THE ORPHANS. THIS IS

HOW I

STARTED AT HOME WITH MY FAITH.

I JUST STARTED WITH A HOUSE

AND

DECORATED IT AND ALL THE

CHILDREN CAME

OVER A TIME OF 32 YEARS I WAS

A FOSTER

MOTHER. I HAD A TOTAL OF 30

CHILDREN.

NOT ALL AT ONCE. BUT ABOUT 20

CHILDREN

CAME TO MY HOME AND THEY

STAYED LONGER

OR SHORTER TIME.

THEN HER LIFE CHANGED WHEN

TO MEN

BOARDED A BUS SHE WAS RIDING.

TWO MEN BOARDED THE BUS.

TWO MEN CAME ON THE BUS AND

STARTED

STABBING PEOPLE.

THEY LOOKED SO STRANGE. I

THOUGHT

WHY DID THE DRIVER LET THEM

IN AND

AFTER THEY STARTED SCREAMING

AND TWO

WERE TERRORIST. ONE HAD A GUN

AND ONE

HAD A KNIFE.

THE MAN WITH A KNIFE JUMPED

ON ME AND

STARTED STABBING ME AND THE

OTHER MAN

WENT TO THE BACK OF THE BUS

AND

STARTED SHOOTING. PEOPLE

STARTED

SCREAMING OF COURSE. WHILE HE

WAS

STABBING ME, I WAS SAYING IN

MY OWN

LANGUAGE OVER AND OVER AGAIN,

OH, LORD

JESUS.

I WAS SAYING IN DUTCH.

AND I WAS PROTECTING MYSELF

WITH MY

HANDS LIKE THIS.

I WAS VERY QUIET.

I KEPT VERY QUIET SITTING IN

THE

CORNER AND ALL OF A SUDDEN HE

STOPPED

AND HE WENT TO THE BACK OF

THE ABOUT

US TO CONTINUE STABBING OTHER

PEOPLE.

ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A

NOISE AND

ALL THE GLASS WAS BROKEN AND

THE DOOR

JUST OPENED SO I COULD GET

OUT.

MARIKA STUMBLED OUT OF THE

BUS.

SHE HAD SIX KNIFE WOUNDS AND

A

COLLAPSED LUNG. HER FOSTER

CHILDREN

CAME TO THE HOSPITAL TO VISIT

HER.

THEY DIDN'T WANT TO BE

INTERVIEWED ON

CAMERA.

ONE OF THE CHILDREN CAME

TO ME AND

ASKED ME, MOMMA, DO YOU HATE

ME NOW

BECAUSE I'M ARABIC.

I WAS FLABBERGASTED

BECAUSE THEY

ASKED ME THIS QUESTION. OF

COURSE I

DON'T HATE THEM.

I WAS SO THANKFUL THAT I

WALKED OUT OF

THE BUS ALIVE.

I WAS THANKFUL.

IT HAD NOT CROSSED MONTH I

-- MY MIND

FOR ONE SECOND THAT I WOULD

HATE THE

ARABS.

I EVEN FORGAVE THE ONE WHO

STABBED ME.

THEY SAID, MOMMA, THAT

DOESN'T MAKE

ANY SENSE. HOW COULD YOU

FORGIVE

ANYONE WHO WOULD WANT TO KILL

YOU?

YEAH, IT MADE SENSE, BUT THEN

I

THOUGHT ACTUALLY THE LORD,

OUR FATHER

IN HEAVEN HE FORGAVE US

THROUGH THE

LORD JESUS AND FOR GIVING IS

ALSO A

CHOICE. I WANT TO MAKE THE

CHOICE TO

FORGIVE.

AND ONCE YOU MAKE THE CHOICE,

THEN GOD

COMES TO HELP YOU.

THAT IS HIS GRACE. SO IF YOU

MAKE A

CHOICE TO FORGIVE, THEN GOD

COMES IN

AND HE GIVES YOU THE GRACE TO

DO IT.

SO THIS IS WHAT I EXPLAINED

TO MY

CHILDREN ALSO.

THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE, THE

WHOLE

HORRIBLE THING, IT BROUGHT ME

CLOSER

TO THE LORD. HE HAS PROVEN

HIMSELF A

WONDERFUL GOD. WE ARE SERVING

A

WONDERFUL GOD. HE IS SO GOOD.

THAT'S WHAT I HAVE TO SAY.

UP NEXT, COOKING WITH THE

SEVEN

SUPER FOODS OF THE BIBLE.

WE POUR ON THE DRESSING ON

TOP.

STREETS OF

JERUSALEM WHERE THOUSANDS OF

ISRAELIS

ARE CELEBRATING THE

TABERNACLE.

THEY HAVE A COOKING LESSON

AND

LEARNING HOW TO COOK THE

SEVEN SUPER

FOODS OF THE BIBLE.

WE MET A FAMOUS ISRAELI

KNOWN AS

THE QUEEN OF KOSHER. SHE IS

JAMIE

GELLAR, MOTHER OF FIVE AND IN

THE

REGION AREA NETWORK.

THIS IS THE CITY OF DAVID.

YOU WILL NOTICE IT'S OUTSIDE

THE CITY

WALLS. IT'S BRINGING PEOPLE

TOGETHER.

MUCH LIKE THE FOOD. I'M GOING

TO SHOW

YOU MY RECIPE, THE SEVEN

FOODS OF THE

BIBLE, A SPECIAL SALAD.

I BROUGHT HER ALONG

BECAUSE SHE'S

THE REAL COOK OF THE FAMILY.

SHE FEEDS ME. SHE'S A VERY

GOOD COOK,

BUT WE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT

KOSHER FOOD

AND KOSHER COOKING.

KOSHER IS A DIETARY LAW

AND THEY

DON'T ALLOW MIXING MEAT AND

DAIRY

PRODUCTS IN THE SAME MEAL.

BUT THEY

COOK ALL THE SAME.

IT'S EASY. ANYONE CAN DO

IT.

ALL I NEED IS PEOPLE THAT

LOVE TO EAT.

WE LOVE TO EAT.

FORGET ABOUT KOSHER, WE

ARE DOING A

RECIPE INSPIRED BY THE SEVEN

SUPER

FOODS OF THE BIBLE.

SUPER FOODS. WILL THIS

MAKE ME A

SUPER PERSON?

LIKE POPEYE, YOUR WIFE

WILL BE

HAPPY.

THIS IS FROM DEUTERONOMY

WHERE THE

LORD GOD WILL BRING YOU INTO

A GOOD

LAND OF POMEGRANETS, A LAND

OF OLIVE

OIL.

THIS IS A SALAD. WE ARE

GOING TO

START WITH THIS.

WE'LL PUT A LITTLE BIT OF

OIL. YOU

MAKE IT LIKE YOU WOULD RICE.

JUST PUT

THIS A LITTLE BIT.

BEFORE WE TOSS IT, WE ARE

GOING TO

MAKE OUR DRESSING. WOULD YOU

HELP ME?

THIS IS THE OLIVE OIL. THIS

IS THE

DIJON MUSTARD.

WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS ONE OF

THE

SPECIAL FOODS OF THE LAND OF

ISRAEL.

IT'S DATE HONEY. DATES IS ONE

OF THE

SUPER FOODS OF THE WORLD.

DATES HAVE BEEN USED FOR

THOUSANDS OF

YEARS. A LITTLE RED WINE.

YOU CAN DO IT.

WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF THAT

WITH SALT

AND PEPPER.

NOW WE WHISK.

WHO WANTS TO WHISK?

HOW LONG DO WE WHISK?

YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE ANY

CHUNKS OF

DIJON ANYMORE.

BEFORE WE PUT IT TOGETHER,

THIS IS DRY

DATES AND YOU SLICE YOUR

DATES LIKE

THIS.

THAT'S WHAT WE DO WITH OUR

DATES. YOU

CAN USE FRESH OR DRIED FRUITS.

BRING THAT BEAUTIFUL PLATE.

WE PUT OUR VUL GER.

THE GRAPES HAVE A LOT OF

ANTIOXIDANTS.

WHEN POMEGRANETS ARE IN

SEASON, WE USE

THE POMEGRANATE. WE HAVE THE

FIGURES

RIGHT OUT OF THE BIBLE.

THOSE ARE THE SUPER FOODS. WE

POUR ON

OUR DRESSING ON TOP.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL, RIGHT? NOW

LOOK AT IT.

RIGHT?

IT LOOKS LIKE WE WORKED

HARD ON

THIS.

HOW LONG DID IT TAKE US?

WOULD YOU

LIKE TO TASTE IT? A LITTLE

MORE FOR

YOU.

YOU HAVE A SPOON OVER THERE.

A LITTLE FOR YOU.

YOU WILL GET ALL THE SUPER

FOODS.

IT SMELLS NICE.

IT'S FRESH.

OKAY, GOD BLESS THIS AND

HELP ME.

HAPPY YOU LIKE IT.

RIGHT NOW YOU ARE EATING

FOODS FROM

THE BIBLE.

I WANT TO GIVE YOU A PRESENT.

SURE.

I HAVE A NEW BOOK.

IT'S CALLED THE JOY OF KOSHER.

FAST FRIENDLY RECIPES.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO EAT KOSHER.

THIS IS A KOSHER SALAD.

IT WAS DELICIOUS.

WE HAVE A LOT OF ISRAEL MEALS

HERE.

DON'T BE AFRAID OF KOSHER. I

TRY

DIFFERENT RECIPES.

CBN NEWS, JERUSALEM.

UP NEXT, SUPPORTING ISRAEL

WITH

SUCH A TIME AS THIS.

STREETS OF

JERUSALEM WHERE THOUSANDS OF

CHRISTIAN

PILGRIMS. YOU CAN SEE IT'S

QUITE

EXCITING HERE IN JERUSALEM.

WE CAN SEE

THAT MANY NATIONS IN THE

WORLD ARE NOT

SO INTERESTED ABOUT WHAT THE

BIBLE HAS

TO SAY ABOUT JERUSALEM.

THEY VOTED TWICE THAT THERE

WAS NO

JEWISH CONNECTION BETWEEN THE

WESTERN

MOUNT AND THE WESTERN WALL

AND

JERUSALEM. IT PROMISES THAT

THOSE OF

JERUSALEM WILL PROSPER. I'M

CHRIS

MITCHELL. WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT
