Beck Reveals Restoring Courage Event Changed ‘Last Minute’ Due to Threats

While Glenn Beck’s Restoring Courage event in Israel appeared to go off without a hitch to those watching, he revealed on radio Thursday that he and his team were forced to make last-minute changes because several confirmed participants faced threats, including threats on their lives.
Beck said that the choir scheduled to perform canceled just days before the finale after they were called into a meeting last Friday and told they would be dismissed, and would probably never work again, if they contributed their talents. Despite being in full support of the program, they decided that the consequences were just too great.
The choir that performed, then, was “cobbled together” after the original choir canceled on Sunday.
Several others suffered similar threats, including death threats.
“I have to tell you some of the stories that I wasn’t able to tell you before and let’s start with this,” Beck explained while broadcasting from South Africa. “Yesterday, if you watched the broadcast on GBTV, if you watched the whole event that unfolded at the Temple Mount, what you may not know is how many people canceled at the last minute, and not because they were, you know, ‘I’m not going to stand with him,’ none of that. The reason why they canceled is because they were under death threat.”
In fact, Beck revealed that an Arab participant couldn’t even sing words when he took the stage. Instead, he could only utter melodic moans — anything else could have cost him his life.
“I don’t blame them for this at all,” Beck said regarding those who decided to pull out. You can listen to him explain the threats and the changes below:

Posted on August 25, 2011 at 2:58pmI’m sorry, SS, but do you have a problem with Jews? The Arab was undoubtedly threatened by Muslims. And we do have our quislings, code-pink equivalents, HEAVILY FUNDED BY CHRISTIANS, such as the EU. These people are less Jewish than Obama is Christian, and would love nothing more than that Israel stop being a Jewish state. That includes our (Israel’s) horrific MSM, Peace Now, and lots of organizations tied together by the New Israel Fund, LOTS OF FOREIGN money, including foreign Christian governments.
(I don’t mean to pile on Christians, but I am sick of SS’s implications. I really appreciate the support of American Christians of goodwill, and have publically defended Glenn.)

Posted on August 25, 2011 at 5:17pmMZK1, how is Israel being a Jewish state any different than America being a Christian state, or a non-Jewish state… or America being a white state, or Germany being an Aryan state… on and on? If Israel calls itself, defines itself as, a Jewish state, it is a racist state, no different than the Nazi Aryan state. Both sought, in Israel are seeking, ethnic purity. If the Jews call themselves the chosen people, how is that any different than the Aryans calling themselves the chosen people. The Nazis simply adopted the Jewish Torah for themselves. Moses’ holocaust was inflicted on many, including the Midianites, as recorded by the Hebrews themselves. The Nazis did the same to the Jews. Today the Jews are repeating the acts on the Palestinians.
All of this history can be checked and double checked, for it is all recorded.

Posted on August 25, 2011 at 8:57pm@Blowback – Really? You’re playing the race card with an analogy that weak?
In case it escaped your attention, being a Christian state or a Jewish state is a matter of faith and culture. Being white or Aryan is a matter of genetics. In the former case it’s primarily dependent upon either a conscious or unconscious decision on the part of those citizens participating in the political process. In the latter, it is a matter of the genes inherited from the parents of those participating in the political process. The former you (as a participant) have some personal control over; the latter, you have no control over.
Is it possible that you are unaware of the thousands of Israeli citizens of Ethiopian, Indian and Yemeni ancestry? Are you unaware of the nearly 1 million citizens of Israel who are Muslim and Christian Arabs or Druze, Bahai, Circassian or any of a number of other ethnic groups? How about the fact that there are Arabs who actually sit in the Knesset? These don’t sound like a nation given to racist tendencies.
I realize that it may make you feel better to accuse the nation of Israel of being racist, but to actually do so is either indicative of a massive degree of ignorance or a conscious decision on your part to engage in Orwellian treatment of the English language.
C’mon. If you’re going to criticize Israel, at least make sure the criticism is based on legitimate policy issues without resorting unjustified name calling.

Posted on August 26, 2011 at 5:54pmBlowback, what I was primarily responding to was your assertion that Israel is a racist state, no different than the Nazi Aryan state. Your acknowledgement that being a Jew is an ethnicity invalidates your argument. There is ample evidence that people of different races can fully participate in the franchise in Israel.
Given that ethnicity encompasses more than simply race in defining a group, and since a number of different races are present and participating amongst the Israeli citizenry, then those aspects that make up Israel’s ethnic foundations must therefore be non-racial in nature such as cultural or religious. As preservation of culture is an aspect that is common to many countries, to accuse Israel of being racist on this basis would mean that any nation that practices any degree of nationalism to preserve its culture, such as France seeking to preserve the French culture would have to be racist also. Such an assertion is absurd as the tendency for cultural preservation is not based primarily on race but on a particular cultural heritage.
By contrast, Nazi Germany’s policy was specifically to promote the Aryan racial type (a sub-category of the Caucasian race) through breeding programs and suppression of non-white races (by sterilization or extermination or other means to limit population). In this particular case, since there was a specific intent to promote a specific racial type, it would be valid to label their policies as racist.
Report Post »teddlybar
Posted on August 26, 2011 at 5:55pmConsidering that the original UN mandate called specifically for an independent Jewish state (along with an independent Palestinian state) if you are going to take the position that simply being a Jewish state is in and of itself racist, then you must take the original UN mandate as being racist as well and thereby by implication that the UN is racist. I would maintain that to hold that position is inaccurate. Rather that the mandate called for a form of positive discrimination based on religious, cultural and heritage issues rather than specifically race.
What I’m getting at is that I believe you are being lazy about the use of the language. To label Israel as both racist and equivalent to Nazi Germany as you did is both inaccurate and pejorative. As I stated before, you could at least base your criticisms on legitimate policy issues rather than unjustified name calling.

Posted on August 26, 2011 at 6:19pmBy the way Blowback, your assertion that Immigration laws require you to be a Jew by ancestral descent is inaccurate. The Law of Return was amended in 1970 with this new provision. According to section 4B of the Law of Return it states “For the purposes of this Law, “Jew” means a person who was born of a Jewish mother or has become converted to Judaism and who is not a member of another religion.” A convert is not necessarily one who is Jewish by ancestral descent.

After a while I realized that this man looks at what is going on around him and uses common sense to make deductions about where we are headed. He has rarely been wrong. I think the move of socialism and progressivism has been going on worldwide for a very long time and the way he has chosen to address it is to bring it into the light and expose the goals of those individuals. So many comment on whether he has “fired” or “not.“ ”He’s a huckster” – if he is we need more like him. All those negative comments are unimportant!

Gods covenant was with the descendents of Abram, not Jews or Judaism (Which by the way did not come about until 300-500 AD.) Abrams descendents were Samaritan, Galilean, Judean and many more. The corruption of the covenant is what we are today dealing with. Gods covenant was not with Khazars either, though they make up a large portion of those claiming the land of ‘Palestine,’ as defined by Herzl.

What makes you so sure our Left was not involved in making the protest happen there in Israel? I firmly believe the attacks from Gaza were no coincidence. We already know Bill Ayres and his loopy wife were in on the flotila fiasco. Interesting to note also that Israel’s Left IS essentially the same as our Left.
Blowback,
Some of what you’re claiming is not so. First of all ~ “Gods covenant was with the descendents of Abram, not Jews or Judaism (Which by the way did not come about until 300-500 AD.)” ~ is not accurate.
Jews are clearly mentioned in Hebrew and Greek Scripture. This fact demonstrates Judaism (and Jews) existed prior to 300 A.D. in that ALL the Biblical books were in existence well before your stated time frame. Judaism in its current form (Kabbalah, Talmud, etc.) evolved some time after the Babylonian captivity of Judah (550-600 B.C.). Your date is off by about 1000 yrs. So while some Jews are/were Khazars, clearly all of them are not. There is no possible way of sorting out geneology at this point. Nor does any of that really matter in comparison to one’s character and personal choices. Furthermore, Netanyahu is a “Zionist” as was President Truman. Clearly Netanyahu is not in agreement with the Jewish Left. It’s not that cut and dried my friend and it is not correct to lump all Jews or all Zionists into the same group. Zionist simply means one that believes Israel should exist as a nation.

Posted on August 25, 2011 at 12:31pmI’m sorry, but I have to call BS. Other than it would seem Herman Cain, not a single presidential candidate or any elected representative in any office attended the event. Before the event Beck claimed nearly all the GOP presidential candidates, plus several dozen elected representatives, including Senator Lieberman, had pledged to attend. If any of these people received death threats, tell me, why aren’t they all releasing statements to this effect? Why would any of these people not be willing to say this? Even in this short clip it’s incredible how disparaging Glenn is of Islam, and he wonders why Muslims wouldn’t participate?!? Really? Hey Glenn, how would you like it if a bunch of evangelicals wanted you to come onstage and perform Mormon temple ordinances to an anti-Mormon southern baptist crowd? And bear in mind where Glenn is doing this, literally on religious holy ground right next to the dome of the rock DURING RAMADAN!

Posted on August 25, 2011 at 12:45pm@AlansTigg, yes, exactly my point. Dozens, perhaps even up to a hundred people that were supposedly going to attend magically didn’t. They came up with excuses… not because they don’t support Israel, but because they don’t support Beck, and for darn good reason. This article however is meant to imply that Beck’s lack of support was due to “threats” to try and cover up the fact that it’s really due to him being a bigot.

Posted on August 25, 2011 at 1:57pm@SacredHonor1776, AlansTigg, You guys are wrong and mixing things up. There were two issues. First, they did try to get the trips sponsored by tax dollars. Congressmen frequently travel on “fact-finding” missions on the taxpayers dime. The nature of this event though was decidedly political and didn’t fit in this category. These requests were rejected on ethical grounds. Faced with this, Beck offered to finance the trips himself. This is a graft though. Reps cannot accept gifts, which include airfair and free hotel rooms/food. It’s an ethics issue. Boehner DID NOT ban reps from attending the event 100% on their own personal dime. A roundtrip ticket from DC to Tel Aviv is about $1,000. Add another $1000 for 3 days worth of food and hotel room. A very cheap price for any rep that really wanted to go. Back on subject, bottom line, is there is no evidence of death threats preventing attendance.

Posted on August 25, 2011 at 2:01pmDon’t you folks get it…this event wasn’t about Glenn Beck…this was about us…about standing up and making it clear that right is right and wrong needs to be challenged every time. One man asked us to stand WITH him FOR Israel because he genuinely believes that what comes to Israel, will come to us all. I am so disgusted with how many high-profile people backed out, too scared to take a stand against the usual bullies. They are an embarrassment to the fighting men and women who put their lives in real danger every day for us all. All our so-called leaders and wanna-be leaders were asked to do was to stand for Israel. It’s not enough for our leaders to simply talk the talk…they need to walk the walk. We can say that “we” surround “them” but if we don’t back that up with our actions, what good is it? It’s time to call the enemies of freedom out, to draw a line in the sand and commit to defending that line, even at the cost of our own life. Some things are worth dying for. Congratulations to the only presidential candidate who showed the courage of his convictions…Herman Cain. May I suggest that we all take a moment to flood his inbox with notes of thanks for standing up not only for Israel, but for our freedom and our future. To the rest of our “leaders,” I spit on your cowardice. Shame on you all! You have failed a very important test…the one that deals with character.

Democracy means nothing more than the will of the people… that will can lead in any direction. The former Soviet Union was considered a democracy. The PEOPLES Republic of China is a representative democracy. In the case of Israel they choose socialism. This is why the USA is NOT a democracy, but a republic.

Posted on August 25, 2011 at 5:54pm@AlansTigg, you may be completely correct, I don’t know. It’s besides the point. We’re off topic as it is. The original point was that these reps didn’t all cancel because of death threats, as this article suggests. As a subset to that, the bottom line is that not a single elected rep was banned from attending in any way shape or form. Whether Beck or some other 3rd party was offering to pay, it is irrelevant. Boehner simply said govt isn’t going to pay, and they also can’t accept from someone else. As individual representatives that serve their home districts, they are completely free to travel whenever and wherever the heck they want for absolutely any reason – so long as they pay for it. And this can also include money from an election campaign. Bachmann or any other GOP candidate for example, could have taken money from their campaign war chest and used it to travel over there and participate in the event. Someone correct me if I’m wrong. Is there some rule that campaign donations cannot be used for overseas travel? As I recall Obama traveled to Europe during his campaign in 2008 and did that Berlin speech.

No primetime exposure in a major media market. They pledged all this “attendance” when Glenn was hosting a highly rated show on the premier Rightist network. No camera-time, no attendance.
Herman Cain emerges as a man of his word, uncompromised. I respect that very much.
My earnest advice to Glenn would have been to stay at Fox until this event was over, maybe do a final show on August 30th – instead of 60 days prior. The attention span of most folks isn’t 60 seconds, much less 60 days.
I sincerely wish Glenn the best with his new endeavor, and am a full year subscriber. But, he kinda botched the timing on these events more than a little. He should have kept his “maximum-exposure” platform for this event and kicked off his solo situation afterward.
That’s my armchair quarterback analysis – he shouldn’t have been surprized by the absentees. Its all about the publicity and political mileage.

Of course it could have been just for public consumption, but I took Lieberman at his word, and emailed him and thanked him for that.

Firstly, I claim no money from my government at all. In fact, I pay taxes in the highest tax break of 50%. I own a home (I still have a mortgage, not paid for) that is worth (according to google pounds to dollar conversion rate) 572 950 U.S. dollars. I grew up in a fairly well off background. So the point about me wanting to bleed the system is wrong. It’s called compassion for people that have little.
Please provide one shred of evidence that shows I reacted in any of the ways, the initial post I replied to, characterized about liberals.
Lorianna – Providing one piece of anecdotal evidence about a famous homosexual, does not a case make, I’m afraid. Gay people (not cross dressers as you so dismissively labeled them), absolutely deserve the same rights as everyone else. Even if they were only a millionth of one percent of the population, it’s irrelevant. The tea party now has a higher unfavorability rating in America than atheists, does that mean that you should all shut up now? Of course not. Society has a responsibility to treat everyone as equals, and not based on who has the bigger gang.
Alan – I think we‘re all guilty of saying stuff we believe in as though it’s the truth. I‘m sure I wouldn’t have to find too hard to find an example of you doing exactly the same, but because my views are different to 99.9% on here, that is deemed a problem.

I’m not proud of it at all, I was merely explaining that I don’t require government money for myself, as I was being accused of, by someone who knows better.
There was a banking caused financial crisis across the world, that originated on wall street, and most countries have huge deficits. I own my own business and it is in a sector that is pretty much recession proof, but lots of jobs have been cut out of the UK jobs market. I can afford to pay a little more in taxes, so I do. I don’t volunteer this money, but I’m a British citizen and I have a responsibility to help out my country folk.
I know that when times improve my taxes will go down, so what’s the problem?
The problem that America has is that anything the right wing says, becomes fact to conservatives. America could really do with a 3rd party. Everything is too black and white.
So please explain how I could avoid paying 50% tax, bearing in mind, I’m proud to be a British citizen and have no desire to move.
Why don’t you “no tax” posse all move to a tax haven yourselves, rather than whining about how you want your country back? I presume the period you’re nostalgic for – the good ol’ days, taxes were loads higher than the 50yr low you’re paying now. Don’t believe everything your talking points tell you is fact.

You’re not a very smart limey. The financial crisis was caused by the CRA (community reinvestment act), that was originally instituted under Jimmah Kaatah, a democrap and anti-semite. Klinton, his AG Janet el Renio-and his HUD Sec Andrew Cuomo put the force of the Federal Government behind it. Essentially put the CRA on steroids. We’re talking about subprime lending here. The democraps forced this by claiming the banks and lending institutions were racists, their mantra was ‘discriminatory lending’. Of course the banks were just using good feduciary practices. But they were forced then to give loans to people who could not make the payments. Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac, two GSE’s, were buying up most of this bad paper. Fanny was run by cronies from the Klinton Administration, like Franklin Raines, Jamie Gorelick and Jim Johnson. Federal regulators were warning since about 2000, that Fanny and Freddie were becoming insolvent, further that Fanny’s managers were cooking the books, giving themselves huge bonuses. Republicans, including John McCain and George Bush, tried at least 3 times to reform Fanny Mae, but democraps shouted them down with charges of racism. They said Pres Bush was just trying to hurt poor people. That it was nothing more than a linching of Franklin Raines. Raines was black. This practice created a housing bubble

You might have noticed a week or so ago, just a day or two after the S&P downgraded the U.S., they downgraded Fanny and Freddy.

There is blame on both sides for that, and both sides have admitted it.
But do you know what? For the purpose of this, I’ll accept everything you say as a fact, despite the continual disparaging language about the party you disagree with. I thought it was nasty liberals that wanted to demonise all the time? Seems like you’re rather fond of name calling yourself. Read any story on the blaze, and you will see the vitriol spewing from the mouths of the people you agree with.
I’ve seen statements in the comments section of the blaze that are appallingly racist, including calling Obama a “half breed.”
So go on then, the financial crisis was all “democraps” fault.
So my questions to you remain the same.
How do I avoid paying taxes, whilst enjoying the benefits of living in British society?
Why don’t you move to a tax haven yourself, rather than whining about the need for government to raise revenues?

Posted on August 26, 2011 at 1:30pmOne error I wish to correct. The democraps had taken Congress in 2006, it was Obummer who won the WH in 2008.
I live in one of the lowest taxed states in this nation. It is also the state with the highest job creation at present. And over a billion dollars in the black. The key to revenue is to foster a good business climate, so that jobs are created The way to higher revenues is through expanding the tax base. In our nation’s history, it has worked everytime it has been tried. High business taxation and regulation (and whatever other hoops and roadblocks democraps can think of to throw at business) is the cause of job loss, the downsizing of the tax base and therefore loss of revenues.

Posted on August 26, 2011 at 1:40pmOh, one more thing. If I sound frustrated and belligerent, it‘s because I’ve been engaged in this ‘culture war’ for some 45 years. I’ve watched the PC crap unfold, the freedom lost, the “media” take sides, the leftwing attacks on our religion, institutions and Constitution, the undermining of our self-government/self-determination form of government. Quite frankly, I’ve had it, as I think many on here have.

Do you really believe that people want to slit my throat to take what I have?
I live alone, apart from my GF who stays over 2/3 nights per week. I don’t live in a gated community, and I have no security other than doors that lock and a house alarm, that I only use when I’m not in. If anyone wants to slit my throat, then they wouldn’t have to struggle too hard.
People aren’t like that, you need to have more faith in people. The problem here, is that you’ve been continually hammered with the info that Government is coming for you, Obama wants to do a “Mugabe,” the government are nazis, and democrats want to take everything you own and give it to poor black people.
It’s just bizarre and not based in any kind of factual assessment. People on both sides have good people and bad people. The minute you start to see people, who have a different political ideology to you, as “the enemy,” or as people who want nothing more than to install a communist government, then you have jumped aboard the McCarthyism koolaid float.
