Mike Pence Mocked for Coronavirus Prayer — Here’s Why Atheists and Christians Alike Should Welcome Petitions to God
By Tré Goins-Phillips
Editor
March 2, 2020
Mike Pence is a Bible-believing Christian. He’s also leading the national response to the imminent coronavirus pandemic. Those things aren’t mutually exclusive.
Much like former President Barack Obama tapped his vice president, Joe Biden, to lead an effort to eradicate cancer, President Donald Trump has appointed his vice president, Pence, to helm the U.S. response to the spread of COVID-19.
Jimmy Kimmel Takes Shots at Mike Pence’s Christian Faith in Joke About Coronavirus
Neither Biden nor Pence are leaders in scientific research. One man, though, Pence, has made his faith central to who he is — often describing himself as “a Christian, a conservative, and a Republican, in that order.”
It should be no wonder, then, that one of the first ways the vice president has responded to his role in combating the coronavirus is to pray.
Franklin Graham

@Franklin_Graham
A touching & powerful photo of @VP @Mike_Pence & the President’s Coronavirus Taskforce praying when they met last week in his office. Thank you VP Pence and each one who is serving. Let’s join them in asking God for His wisdom, direction, & help in the response to this virus.
Just as unsurprising has been the (bigoted) backlash Pence has received for turning to God for wisdom in the face of what could, for some, present a dangerous reality, should they be exposed to the virus.

The hateful attacks on Pence’s convictions immediately begged the question: Wouldn’t it be more concerning if you knew someone believed in an all-powerful, all-loving God and chose not to petition Him for wisdom, guidance, and healing?

It’s also really clear the bad faith attacks on Pence are motivated by a disdain for the former Indiana governor’s personal faith and conservative ideals.
Thomas Chatterton Williams
@thomaschattwill
Mike Pence and his coronavirus emergency team praying for a solution. We are so screwed.
The mischaracterization of Pence’s goal in praying is clear. He is not trying to “pray away” the coronavirus, as Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who is running for the Democratic presidential nomination, has suggested. Instead, he’s praying to God for wisdom regarding how the government should combat the coronavirus.

One journalist, Matt Novak, further suggested science and faith can’t coexist. He tweeted how “odd” he found it to see Pence praying alongside people like Dr. Robert R. Redfield, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
Matt Novak
@paleofuture
Mike Pence can pray whenever he likes, but I do find it odd to see him leading a prayer during a meeting of the coronavirus task force with people like the head of the CDC and Dr. Fauci.

The fact that the vice president is strategizing with medical experts like Fauci and Redfield clearly shows he’s not so naive to just “pray away” COVID-19. At the same time, how thoughtless and irresponsible would it be for a man like Pence, who believes God to be completely sovereign, to not invite Him into the decision-making process?

If you want to criticize Pence — fine, be my guest. But don’t pretend like the attacks on his faith are anything but that: attacks on his faith.

When faced with the spread of a virus for which there isn’t yet a vaccine (though one is on the way, thanks to Israel), you should want those in leadership to use every tool in their arsenal to act wisely and deliberately.

Pence is a Bible-believing Christian, and he’s leading the national response to the imminent coronavirus pandemic. And I’m glad he’s praying about it.

Christian Evangelist Murdered in Southeast Turkey   Nov 20, 2019 03:25 pm
  (International Christian Concern) – International Christian Concern (ICC) has learned that on November 19, 2019, Korean evangelist Jinwook Kim was stabbed on the streets in the southeastern Turkish city of Diyarbakir. He later died in the hospital from his injuries; he was 41 years old. Kim had arrived in Diyarbakir with his family earlier this year and was pastoring a small community of Christians. The assailant stabbed Kim three times: twice in the heart, once in the back. Officials, however, claim that the incident occurred in an effort to steal Kim’s phone. Local believers urge the authorities to investigate the incident as an assassination, rather than an attempt at extortion.
Kim is married and has one child, although his second is expected to be born in the coming days. A funeral service will be held tomorrow. He had lived in Turkey for five years.The Public Security Branch Directorate of Murder Bureau has arrested...

The Labour we lost: Jews, Jeremy Corbyn and a fraying bond
Next year marks the centenary of the Jewish Labour Movement's affiliation with the Labour Party. We look at the rich legacy of Jewish support for the left many see as under threat
https://jewishnews.timesofisrael.com/the-labour-we-lost-jews-jeremy-corbyn-and-a-fraying-bond/
By MATHILDE FROT
November 14, 2019, 10:13 am

Next year is the centenary of the Jewish Labour Movement (JLM)’s affiliation with the party. But rather than prepare for a celebration, many in the community fear the prospect of a Jeremy Corbyn government.

The JLM, officially affiliated with the party since 1920, said it would not campaign for candidates “unless in exceptional circumstances”. Meanwhile, looming large on the horizon, a verdict on whether the party is institutionally antisemitic is expected from the Equalities and Human Rights Commission early next year.


It is a remarkable indictment for a party that boasts a rich legacy of Jewish support intertwined with Poale Zion, as the JLM was once called.

Poale Zion emerged from Jewish trade unions and a flourishing political scene that featured a flurry of working men’s clubs, debating societies and English and Yiddish language newspapers in London’s East End. It played a pivotal role in the Labour Party’s commitment to a Jewish national home laid out in its War Aims Memorandum published in August 1917.


Pamphlet from the early days of the movement
“Throughout its 99-year history, Poale Zion and Jewish Labour activists have been members of Parliament, civic leaders and councillors,” said Jewish Labour Movement national secretary Peter Mason. “They’ve become ingrained in the fabric of the Labour of Party that always believed in equality, social justice and the rights of minorities.”

He added: “We’re now in a situation that 99 years on from those earliest moments of people like Ben Gurion coming to Britain to build the British socialist Zionist tradition that the Labour Party that used to represent us has now allowed itself to be captured by this intolerable populist, antisemitic hard left tradition. All of that’s been put in jeopardy,”

Miriam Mirwitch, 26, from London, joined the Labour Party at 16 in response to what she saw as the corrosive impact of austerity measures on her community. “I got really angry about it. I wanted to make a change and I thought that the best way to create that change was to get involved in the Labour movement,” she said.

Mirwitch, who serves on the Jewish Labour Movement’s national executive committee, hailed the “proud history of Jewish Labour activists,” citing the example of MPs Emanuel (Manny) Shinwell and Ruth Smeeth.

Over recent years, the activist found “a tension between being Jewish and being a Labour Party activist” and has received online abuse, including messages containing antisemitic tropes and threats and “very very nasty replies” on social media.

“All of us have experienced antisemitic comments at local meetings, and obviously I firmly believe it is a minority who are like this but the issue is that it’s very present in the structures of the party and that’s what makes it institutional,” she said.

LIKE  – Jewish News presents The Big Event on Facebook!  
But Mirwitch, who identified as a “stay-fighter,” added: “We need to stay involved in the Labour Party and speaking out if you can because if you leave there’s no one left to speak out against antisemitism, but I also have a huge amount of respect for people who decided that they had to leave.”


Jewish Labour Movement members recall Cable Street
Community involvement in the Labour Party rose in the wake of mass migration from Eastern Europe from 1870 and waning support for the Liberal Party, a party once regarded by many as the natural home of British Jews.

Dr Ben Gidley, senior lecturer at Birkbeck and an associate of the Pears Institute, said: “In the interwar years, particularly in places such as the East End of London, there were many Jewish activists in the Communist Party and in the Labour Party, although many Jews still continued to vote for Liberals out of an older loyalty.

“Within those working-class communities where there were a lot of Jews, the garment industry in particular, but also cabinet makers, the trade unions in those sectors were often attached to the Labour Party.”

Since its founding in 1900, the Labour Party has enjoyed a long history of Jewish contributions, with a staggering 80 peers, 90 MPs and 33 ministers serving in Parliament, and some 19 private members’ bills put forward.

“Many of them [Jewish MPs] made significant contributions to the history of the Labour Party and indeed of Britain,” said Gidley, citing Tom Myers, the first Jewish Labour MP, elected 100 years ago, and Marion Phillips, the first female Jewish MP.

Perhaps the most well-known figure was Scottish MP and peer Emanuel (Manny) Shinwell, Luciana Berger’s great-uncle, who was born to a Polish family in the East End and raised in Glasgow. He made significant contributions towards protecting workers’ rights.

Serving in the House of Commons for 40 years, he rose through the ranks of the party and was appointed chairman and even minister under three Labour governments. The Labour titan served as a minister in Ramsay Macdonald and Clement Attlee’s Labour governments, and later became a member of the House of Lords.

He famously crossed the floor in 1938 to slap Conservative MP Commander Robert Tatton Bower, who taunted him during a heated exchange on the Spanish Civil War and suggested that he “go back to Poland”.Dr Hugh Dalton MP at a Poale Zion meeting (archive)

Another towering figure was the MP Sydney Silverman, perhaps best remembered for leading a 30-year push for the abolition of the death penalty and bringing forward the private member’s bill in 1964 that led to a change in the law.

Born to a family of drapers in Liverpool, he was elected to Parliament in 1935 and retained his seat until his death in 1968. Serving as chairman of the British arm of the World Jewish Congress, he visited Nazi camps after the Second World War and raised the plight of Jewish refugees in Parliament.

Today the relationship between the Labour Party and the Jewish community appears to some to be beyond repair. But the Battle of Cable Street, often seen as an iconic historical moment allying the Jewish community with the left, offers many lessons for the party.

The day entered the annals of history when thousands of anti-fascists came out on the streets of London’s East End to block Oswald Mosley’s Blackshirts march.

“It’s the antisemitism they recognised that wore blackshirts,” said Gidley. “It bought into anti-fascism, but it didn’t necessarily recognise other forms of antisemitism. It didn’t know how to deal with the other faces of antisemitism.”
