Can There be Peace?

Can There Really Be Peace in the Middle East?

So, you want to know what is about to happen next? Don’t we all.
Jesus advised us to watch out that no one deceive us. Why? Because, many false prophets would arise to lead many astray.
Those words are particularly fitting for our perilous times, don’t you think? With that in mind, I will not attempt to describe a play-by-play of upcoming events. Who can? But certain highlights are already written. They form what we call prophecy, and by prophecy I mean Biblical prophecy.


First, we have foundational, prophetic fulfillments already in place. Ezekiel 37:15-21 demonstrates that Israel would become a recognized nation, and that it would be without the division between the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah/Benjamin. It would be UNITED. On May 14, 1948 that prophecy came to pass in a dramatic fashion. Jeremiah 30 and 31, Joel 3, Zechariah 14, Amos 9:11-15, and Zephaniah 3:14-20 also give intricate details of Israel becoming a nation, that after a 2500 year hiatus from the internationally scene.


Second, according to Ezekiel 36:1-15, Israel would be made to prosper. It would be strong. Although Isaiah 66:8 exclaims the formation of a nation in “a day,” it took most of last century for the Jews to convert the tattered, barren lands of Palestine into a productive garden. But the fact is it happened. Prophecy fulfilled!


Third, Babylon has been temporarily removed as a threat to Israel. In Isaiah 13, the prophet announces that Babylon (not yet the dominant power at the time of Isaiah’s prophecies) would be brought low. We know that a spiritual Babylon (possibly comprising the geographic Babylon according to Tim LaHaye and others) will be ultimately and utterly destroyed during the Tribulation. (Revelation 17-18) But Isaiah indicates a punishment will be applied to geographic Babylon by a nation of “proudly exulting ones,” and “of nations gathering together.” Geographic Babylon is made up of modern Iraq. The Iraqis are, of course, displaced Arabs. The important aspect is that we are talking about Iraq and Iraqis…living in the land that was once Babylon.


So, what happened? September 11th, 2001 happened! In March of 2003, George W. Bush launched his coalition, and by May 1st, Babylon (Iraq) ceased to be a threat to Israel. Amen! Isaiah 13 was fulfilled.


Now we come to the “what’s next” phase of bringing peace to the Holy Land. Can there be peace? Will there be peace? My Bible-based answer is a resounding NO. Not yet. Obama’s plan will work about as well as Clinton and Bush’s failed attempts. The Carter plan had no other end that being a fiasco. Why? Because, it is written!


We know that after the great and blessed event called the Rapture of the Church, the door will open to a false peace…a seven year pact with the devil that will seem to insure a cessation of hostilities between Israel and whoever its enemies are at that time. But it will be no, real peace. Its premise will be a lie. Its proponent will be a prevaricator. So what happens between now and that moment we hear the trumpet blast? Let’s talk some scripture and build a sketch for a scenario. (By the way, that is as good as anyone can do. Only God knows what will happen step by step and moment by moment.)


Israel will soon be pushed into a no win situation and will respond out of desperation. Something will happen that will make Israel lash out against what it perceives as an imminent threat. It is not hard to see where that perception is coming from. Iran and Syria, ruled by radical Islamic regimes ARE the threat. We see the scenario developing day by day. American is backing off the idea of sanctions because no one will get on board and follow Obama's leadership. The USA is becoming comfortable with a nuclear Iran. Israel will have to act soon to save their kosher bacon!

I believe something will happen soon, something that will force the Prime Minister of Israel to launch a strike. His target? Isaiah 17 tells us….. Damascus! The Syrian capitol will be destroyed, obliterated, poof, in very short order. The description is nuclear. Although I might be stretching it, my suspicion is that with the same attack on Damascus, Israel will strike Iran’s nuclear capabilities. When that happens, the world will turn completely on the Jewish nation, and the nations immediately surrounding Israel will attack.


JEHOVAH verses ALLAH ….Round One! With Damascus a smoking firepot and Iran buzzing like rabid bees in the wake of the Israeli attack, the Arab nations that currently surround Israel will react as a unified threat. Let’s read. Obediah 1:15-18.


“For the day of the Lord is near upon all the nations. As you have done, it shall be done to you; your deeds shall return on your own head. For as you have drunk on my holy mountain, (Jerusalem) so all the nations shall drink continually; they shall drink and swallow, and shall be as though they had never been. But in Mount Zion there shall be those who escape, and it shall be holy, and the house of Jacob shall possess their own possessions. The house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau stubble; they shall burn them and consume them, and there shall be no survivor for the house of Esau, for the Lord has spoken.”


Picture the Lord crossing his arms. Picture him wiping the dust off his feat. Esau will be gone, and Israel will do it…not God….ISRAEL! Flame…Fire….sounds bad. But that is not all.
Psalm 83 adds detail.


“For behold, your enemies make an uproar; those who hate you have raised their heads. They lay crafty plans against your people; they consult together against your treasured ones. They say, Come, let us wipe them out as a nation. (Sound familiar?) Let the name of Israel be remembered no more! For they conspire with one accord; against you they make a covenant—the tents of Edom (Jordan) and the Ishmaelites (Saudi Arabia & UAE), Moab (Jordan) and the Hagrites (Egypt), Gebal and Ammon and Amalek (Syria and Lebanon), Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre. (Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Palestinian radicals.)….. verse 14…. “As fire consumes the forest, as the flame sets the mountains ablaze, so may you pursue them with your tempest and terrify them with our hurricane. Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek your name O Lord. Let them be put to shame and dismayed forever; let them perish in disgrace, and that they may know that you alone, whose name is the Lord, are the Most High over all the earth.”


I guess God wins! Although the verse indicates destruction, I believe the destruction means a removal as functioning nations. Why? Because God does it to dismay them and cause them, the remnants of Ishmael, to seek his face. Allah loses round one. But he is not done.

JEHOVAH verses ALLAH …second and final round! After Israel takes out Damascus and insights Iran (Persia), and after Israel removes Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Egypt as functioning nations, a coalition will be formed. Its purpose will be to punish and destroy Israel. Here we go….two chapters long. Ezekiel 38-39. (Read them yourself…that is a lot of writing for a blog)


Magog, Meshech and Tubal…are hooked, along with a coalition of nations called Put, Cush, Gomer, Togarmah, and Persia. We know who they are. All scholars agree.
Magog, Meshech and Tubal, sons of Japheth……………RUSSIA and the Russian people.
Gomer & Togarmah, sons of Japheth……Turkey, the Central Asian Republics. (Islamic)
Put & Cush, sons of Ham….. Libya and the Sudan… (Islamic)
Persia….. IRAN…. (Radically Islamic)

Jehovah puts the hook in their mouth, sets it, and drags them to the mountains of Israel. Read it. They come to plunder, pillage, destroy….and get plundered, pillaged, and destroyed. Not only do the armies meet a violent end at the hands and command of God, the nations that send them suffer as well. The coast lands of those sending agencies will burn. Where is the USA in all this? I have no clue beyond believing that President Obama will have spent us into oblivion by that point and we will be in an economic crash. Of course, a crash means the cities will be burning from rioting and anarchy. We are already turning our back on our only ally in the Middle East. Stupid is as stupid is doing! But that is not all….

The FINAL, PRE-RAPTURE HARVEST….
Ezekiel 38:23So I will show my greatness and my holiness and make myself known in the eyes of many nations. Then they will know that I am the Lord.” Then again in 39:7; “And the nations shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.” Wow!


I believe the immediate aftermath of that holy terror will form the greatest moment of evangelism the world has ever known. It will be awesome! It will be short-lived! It will involve tremendous persecution and hardship! But it will be worth it! Matthew 24:14 “And this gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world as a witness to all nations, and then the end shall come.” (Some believe that is during the millennium. I’m not so sure.) I am firmly fixed in believing that the latter rain of Joel 2 will happen during that short time. After that, at some appointed date, the Rapture will take place.


A seven year period will ensue when Israel will live off the machinery and technology left behind by the nations. Seven years…hmmm….where have we heard that number before?

And there you have it. No peace until Christ comes back to rule the nations. Get ready!

Told You So....No Sanctions After All

Okay, here's the new plan, or should I say--the plan all along.... Forget
about talking to the "Am-anutjob" who's in charge. Let's talk to the group that has an Ayatollah's boot over its collective head. Let's leave Israel hanging in the wind...let's leave America in peril!
Such is the ongoing plan of the Obama administration when dealing with the prospects of a nuclear Iran. I am convinced the administration is actually quite comfortable with the prospects of Iran becoming nuclear.
Read this article.
G8 skips Iran sanctions to boost secret US opening to Revolutionary Guards DEBKAfile Exclusive Report March 30, 2010,
Washington and Iran sources disclose that the G8 ministers meeting in Gatineau, Quebec, agreed to leave the door open to dialogue with Iran after they were discreetly informed that the Obama administration had launched a secret bid to engage Iran's radical Revolutionary Guards in nuclear talks. The initiative aimed at bypassing Iran's hardline political leaders and ayatollahs. It was first revealed by DEBKA-Net-Weekly 436 on March 12.
At their meeting in Canada on March 29, the G8 ministers drafted a statement "to remain open to dialogue and also reaffirm the need for the international community to take appropriate and strong steps to demonstrate… resolve to uphold the international nuclear non-proliferation regime." But they pointedly sidestepped mention of sanctions or any other practical action for curbing Iran's dash for a nuclear bomb, after learning that the US president was no longer behind active steps that would antagonize Tehran. Instead, Washington had sent out messengers to meet high-ranking Guards representatives in Tehran and a number of European capitals in pursuit of a new diplomatic initiative for engaging the IRGC in dialogue, after failing to get anywhere with Tehran's regime leaders.



The question we should be asking is this: Is Israel comfortable with Iran becoming a nuclear nation? Will they continue to sit back and wait after seeing the G8 back completely away from those "biting" sanctions Hillary was speaking about a week ago?
Personally, I don't think Israel can afford to wait too much longer!

A Single-Payer Reality in the Middle East

I really like the pun and play on words by Barry Rubin in the following article. He doesn't quite cross the line of proclaiming that Barrack Obama is truly anti-Israel, but he gives enough evidence for the reader to make the conclusion.
The truth is, on September 22, 2009, Obama turned his back on Israel in his speech to the United Nations. I marked that date on my calendar as the day God's removed his blessing from the United States of America. What we are witnessing is the actions that will prove the words that were spoken. The president is actively turning against Israel.........in every way! Read on
The Single Payer Option
By BARRY RUBIN
It seems the Obama administration envisions having Israel pay for everything.


Has the Obama administration, against US interests, declared diplomatic war on Israel? Up until now my view has been that the US government didn’t want a crisis but merely sought to get indirect negotiations going between Israel and Palestinians in order to look good. Even assuming this limited goal, the technique – to keep getting concessions from Israel without asking the Palestinian Authority to do or give anything – has been foolish, but at least it was a generally rational strategy.But now it has become reasonable to ask whether the Obama White House is running amok, whether it is pushing friction so far out of proportion that it is starting to look like a vendetta based on hostility and ideology.Part of the framework for such behavior can be called, to borrow a phrase from the health care debate, a “single-payer option.” That is, the administration seems to envision Israel paying for everything: supposedly getting the PA to negotiate, doing away with any Islamist desire to commit acts of terrorism or revolt, keeping Iraq quiet, making Afghanistan stable and solving just about every other global problem.What makes this even more absurd is that at the very moment when it is coddling Syria and losing the battle for anything but the most minimal sanctions on Iran, the administration has chosen to bash Israel.
DURING HIS visit to Washington last week, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu tried to defuse the tension. His partners in government, we should never forget, are Defense Minister Ehud Barak, leader of the Labor Party, and President Shimon Peres, who has done more to promote Middle East peace than any other living Israeli leader.
But according to reliable sources, Obama went out of his way to be personally hostile, treating Netanyahu like some colonial minion who could be ordered around.Judging from the evidence, such as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s AIPAC speech, the administration thinks it knows better what Israelis want than do Netanyahu, Barak and Peres.Actually, a poll by the highly respected Smith Research company for The Jerusalem Post, found that only 9 percent of Israeli Jews considered the administration more pro-Israel, while 48% said it was more pro-Palestinian. To understand these figures, you have to know that most Israelis are very reluctant to say anything critical of the US, out of genuine respect and concern not to damage relations.So does the administration want to resolve this issue or to pile on demands in hope of giving the PA so much that it will agree to talk about getting even more unilateral Israeli concessions? Is the goal to overthrow Netanyahu – which isn’t going to happen – or break his spirit so he will follow orders in future – which also isn’t going to happen?Doesn’t this US government understand that if you prove yourself to be anti-Israel, you will destroy any incentive Israel has to enter negotiations with you as the mediator? Can it not comprehend that it is giving the PA every incentive to keep raising the price?
Can it not sense that if it undermines Israel’s trust in Washington, it will push the whole country further to the Right? If the US government politely asks to stop building in east Jerusalem in exchange for some tangible benefit and for a limited time, many Israelis would be willing to agree. But if this happens in a framework of enmity and threat, with the “reward” being no benefit and even more concessions to follow, even doves will grow sharp beaks.
IT SEEMS as if the Obama administration has chosen just one country to try to pressure and intimidate. And it has picked the worst possible target in this respect, both because of how Israelis think and also given very strong domestic US support for Israel (especially in Congress).
It bashes Israel while ignoring the PA’s naming of a major square in honor of a terrorist who murdered a score of Israeli civilians, with Clinton even claiming this was done by Hamas and not the PA. And as the administration betrays Israel’s main priority – failing to put serious pressure on Iran to stop building nuclear weapons – why should Israel want to do big favors and take big risks for this president?
Finally, since this administration has already unilaterally abrogated two major US promises – the previous president’s recognition that settlement blocs could be absorbed as part of a peace agreement, and the Obama administration’s own pledge to let Israel build in east Jerusalem if it stopped in the West Bank – why should Israel put its faith in some new set of promises?
The Obama administration will have to decide in the coming days: Does it want to try to get some limited concessions from Israel to use as capital in trying to get talks started, using these to brag – futilely, of course – to Arabs and Muslims how they should be nicer to the administration in Iraq and Afghanistan? Or does it want to live up to the negative stereotypes held by its worst enemies while simultaneously committing political suicide and destroying US credibility in the Middle East. I guess we’ll find out pretty soon.

Obama RESIGNED to a Nuclear Iran (To bad he didn't just resign!)

'Obama Resigned to Nuclear Iran'
By JPOST.COM STAFF
Former UN envoy Bolton says Washington pressuring Israel not to strike nuke facilities.



Former US ambassador to the UN John Bolton expressed concern Sunday that Washington was coming to terms with a nuclear Iran.
“I very much worry the Obama administration is willing to accept a nuclear Iran, that's why there's this extraordinary pressure on Israel not to attack in Iran,” Bolton told Army Radio.
The former envoy claimed that this pressure was the focus of last week's meetings in Washington between Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyhau and US officials, including President Barack Obama.Bolton said that the Obama administration had embraced the view, prevalent in Europe, that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was the key to the resolution of all other conflicts throughout the Middle East, including the Iranian conflict.
He added that the rift in US-Israel relations stemmed from a fundamental difference in the understanding of the Middle East and Israel's role in the Middle East, and is not really about east Jerusalem at all.
Bolton said that the treatment Netanyahu received during his visit "should tell the people of Israel how difficult it's going to be dealing with Washington for the next couple of years."
On Saturday, meanwhile, The New York Times reported that international inspectors and Western intelligence agencies suspect that Teheran is preparing to build more sites in defiance of United Nations demands.According to the report, half a year after the revelation of a secret Iranian nuclear enrichment site northeast of Qom the UN inspectors assigned to monitor Iran’s nuclear program are now searching for evidence of two such sites, prompted by Israeli assessments as well as by recent comments by a top Iranian official that drew little attention in the West.
The paper said that the inspectors were looking into a mystery about the whereabouts of recently manufactured uranium enrichment equipment.In an interview with the Iranian Student News Agency, the official, Ali Akbar Salehi, head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization, said President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had ordered work to begin soon on two new plants. The plants, he said, “will be built inside mountains,” presumably to protect them from attacks.“God willing,” Mr. Salehi was quoted as saying, “we may start the construction of two new enrichment sites” in the Iranian new year, which began March 21.
(See yesterday's blog titled: "Commander and Schmuck" and note the comment on our President working as if he is an agent of a sleeper cell. The words were written somewhat in gest, but I am really beginning to wonder.)

The Commander in SCHMUCK!

I Offer Several Observations....things that are as clear as day, as large as the nose between my eyes, and as obvious as my morning need for coffee.
1. President Barrack Obama is a SCHMUCK
Not only did he brazenly lay out his requirements for the re-establishment of good will between the USA and Israel, he abruptly stood up from the dinner he and Benjamin Netanyahu were sharing and stated, "I am going to eat with Michelle and the girls. I'll come back when you have an answer!" The only word that can be used for the way the President is treating our closest ally is SCHMUCK. (BTW, I still pray for him every day...for God to awaken his heart to the truth so we can live in peace.)
2. President Barrack Obama is either ignorant of the true, dangerous nature of Middle East politics, or he is a member of a sleeper cell that has been waiting to bring about Israel's removal from the planet. (That idea was offered by a guy in my church....and he has a point.
3. Hillary Clinton is nothing more, nor does she even have the force of a Yapping Dog! This is not a personal attack...but a diplomatic fact!
4. While the President gloats over this victory in taking over the American Constitution, while his administration mocks the American people, while Israel is flung under the bus, while Washington thumbs its nose at the Almighty, God simply laughs. These people are REALLY SMALL, the the last laugh will always belong to God.
5. While our SCHMUCK in Chief continues to wage a ridiculous war on God's covenant people, the Iranians progress toward the NUKE. Russia is helping them. Turkey is distracting Israel again, Hezbollah and Hamas have become even more entrenched, the EU has endorsed the anti-Semetic Goldstone report, half of Europe has called for the UN to forcibly divide Israel and Jerusalem, and on on it goes.
6. As Obama tightens the screws on Israel to make overwhelming concessions (which they will not do), the Palestinians have done, and continue to do nothing as an overture of desiring peace.
Read This
Palestinian leader insists on settlement halt for Israel talks
Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas at an Arab summit on Saturday ruled out US-brokered indirect talks with Israel unless the Jewish state stops building settlements.

"We cannot resume indirect negotiations as long as Israel maintains its settlement policy and the status quo," Abbas said at the opening session of the two-day summit.

His comments came shortly after UN chief Ban Ki-moon urged Arab leaders to help facilitate the indirect "proximity" talks and stressed in a speech at the summit that "Jerusalem's significance to all must be respected, and it should emerge from negotiations as the capital of two states."

Israel angered the world community when it announced plans earlier this year to build 1,600 new homes for Jewish settlers in predominantly Arab east Jerusalem.


So, there you have it for MARCH 27, 2010. What does it mean for the believer in Jesus? If the prophecies of the coming wars of Psalm 82, and Ezekiel 38-39 are this obvious, shouldn't the prophecy of Jesus coming for his Bride be taking our breath away? Work while it is still day. Night is on the way. Unstop your ears and start listening for the trumpet as you share Christ with everyone possible. No matter how much time we might have left (which could be days, months, or years) we must be about our Father's business. Stick with it. Hang in there. We win!

An Emboldened and Arrogant President Kicks Israel in the Teeth


Netanyahu Flies Home Amid Disagreement with Obama on Key Issues
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report March 24, 2010

Netanyahu leaves amid standoff with ObamaUS president Barack Obama kept on turning the screw on Israeli minister Binyamin Netanyahu Wednesday, March 24, after their harsh conversation in the White House Tuesday: Netanyahu was told bluntly to issue a White House-dictated public pledge before leaving Washington for home to eschew further construction in East Jerusalem, or else face a US presidential notice condemning Israel and holding its government responsible for the failure to restart indirect Israel-Palestinian talks.
Reporting this, debkafile's Washington sources add that Netanyahu's public renunciation of Jerusalem construction was required to include also the large Jewish suburbs of the city and remain in force for the duration of negotiations. He must also pledge further concessions to the Palestinians.


As part of the ultimatum, the US president warned the Israeli prime minister that he also intended formulating in detail for the first time the settlement the US government sought for solving the Israeli-Palestinian dispute.
Netanyahu flew out of Wednesday night without reaching common ground with the president on the key points at issue. He and defense minister Ehud Barak spent their last hours in the US capital working on a statement that might satisfy the White House. Barak worked out of the Israel embassy with the president's special adviser Dennis Ross at the National Security Council's office at the White House. Middle East envoy George Mitchell shuttled between them in an effort to save his mission.
A high-ranking US official categorized the current crisis in US-Israeli relations as the most acute in 54 years, ever since 1956 when President Dwight Eisenhower gave David Ben-Gurion an ultimatum to pull Israeli forces out of Sinai - certainly more serious than the impasse over the Madrid conference between the first President Bush and Yitzhak Shamir in 1992.
A US presidential notice condemning Israel and predetermining the shape of an Israeli-Palestinian settlement would be tantamount to a US diktat and put the lid on negotiations, direct or indirect, because Israel would be dragged to the table in handcuffs to face an Arab partner who would accept nothing less than the terms Washington imposed in advance on Israel.
Such a notice would put a clamp on the close dialogue which has historically characterized US-Israeli ties - to the detriment of Israel's international standing.

The Washington Post laid the blame for the crisis squarely on President Obama, whom it accused of treating Netanyahu "as if he were an unsavory Third World dictator, needed for strategic reasons but conspicuously held at arms length."
The WP went on to say: "Obama picked a fight over something that virtually all Israelis agree on, and before serious discussions have even begun.

"A new administration can be excused for making such a mistake in the treacherous and complex theater of Middle East diplomacy. That’s why Obama was given a pass by many when he made exactly the same mistake last year. The second time around, the president doesn’t look naive. He appears ideological -- and vindictive."
I've been saying this for a year. The signs have been VERY easy to read. Barrack Obama's true colors cannot be denied. He is anti-Semetic, anti-Christian, and profoundly foolish! Foolishness is not necessarily based upon ignorance. In fact, Obama truly believes his approach is wise. "Professing themselves to be wise, they have become fools." If this Presidential writ of condemnation is released, you can be assured of at least two things.
1. America will be condemned! (See Genesis 12, 17, 19, and every other passage that talks about God's curse on all nations that curse Israel.) The result will be a withdrawal of national blessing.
This means our culture and society will rapidly disintegrate into Third World status and corruption. Any remaining blessing we enjoyed economically will be removed. The immoral massing of debt will cause the ultimate collapse. It will happen quickly. (How soon is another question that only God can answer. But again, the sign-posts are very clear.) This does not mean God will stop protecting and providing for his Bride. Nor does it mean the Spirit of God will cease to move mightily. In fact, the opposite will be true. God is calling to souls like never before. If we will be awake, alert, and ready to be used, every one of us will have the privilege of leading people to Christ!
2. Obama's appeasement of radical Islam, by turning against Israel, will only breed incredible terrorism. Our enemy now sees us as weak and unwilling to confront the real issue of Islamic dominance. Therefore, look for a new and massive wave of terrorism to be unleashed in the United States of America.
3. Israel will stand alone. Obama is backing Israel into a corner from which she will be forced to defend herself. This move will NOT generate peace. It is breeding WAR.
If you have not begun already, it is time to PRAY, BELIEVE, TRUST, and OBEY!

Israel Under Veiled US Threat of Diplomatic Isolation
DEBKAfile Special Report March 24, 2010


The high-stakes conversations Israeli prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu held in Washington with President Barack Obama and secretary of state Hillary Clinton on March 23-24 only deepened the crisis marring relations between the two governments, debkafile's Washington sources report.Netanyahu, defense minister Ehud Barak and their aides, received a strong impression that the White House's hand was behind certain European steps to drive Israeli into a corner on the points at issue. For example, even if the British government needed no encouragement to pick a fight with Israel over an unproven link with the forged passports used by the Dubai killers, Washington knew about the British plan to expel an Israeli diplomat. Its silence was taken by London as a go-ahead and a signal to the Netanyahu government that punishment could be coming from Washington too and that Israel could pay for defying the Obama administration with broad international isolation. France is also considering lining up behind this campaign.President Obama showed his displeasure with the Israeli government's failure to cave in to his demands - especially after Netanyahu's declaration that Jerusalem is no settlement but "our capital" to the AIPAC conference Monday - by ordering all the Israeli prime minister's meetings in Washington to take place without statements, news coverage or the cameras which normally record smiles and handshakes between friendly leaders.The warm public bipartisan welcome he received on Capital Hill was followed by the cold, peremptory shower given him at the White House.
"We in Congress stand by Israel," the Democrat leader of the House, Nancy Pelosi, said. "In Congress we speak with one voice on the subject of Israel."
"We have no stronger ally anywhere in the world than Israel," said the House Republican leader, John Boehner. "We all know we're in a difficult moment."
At their first 90-minute encounter, the president made clear what he expected the Israeli prime minister to do on Jerusalem, West Bank settlements and Iran and where he drew the line. Every effort by Netanyahu and, behind the scenes, Barak and their advisers, to ease the pressure fell on deaf ears.
As the tension climbed in the Oval Office, Netanyahu asked to consult privately with his staff and after an hour, asked to see Obama again. A second 35-minute conversation followed, after which the Israeli leader left without achieving any breakthrough on their differences.
debkafile's Middle East sources report that this latest turn of events in US-Israeli relations makes naught of American leaders' constant affirmations of commitment to Israel's security. Iran, Syria, Hizballah, Hamas and Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas are acutely sensitive to the slightest crack in American support for Israel and ready with tactics for widening the rift. They will now drive hard to separate the Obama administration from America's historic military backing for the Jewish state.

The Gaza-Siege Myth


The truth surrounding the situation in Israel becomes more distorted day by day. Israel is portrayed as the "bad guy," while the Hamas-led Palestinians are decried as poor, hapless victims of Israeli occupation. The lie has become so prominent that the Presbyterian Church of the USA issued a severe condemnation against Israel for its illegal occupation of the Holy Land and for its inhumane treatment of the Palestinians. The Church called for immediate sanctions against Israel and an equitable division of the land, including Jerusalem.
Nothing could be further from reality. Read this thoughtful article by Chris Schang. It will dispel the myth that Gaza is under siege by the Israelis.
You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.
The Gaza Siege Myth
by Chris Schang
One of the most flawed and consistently repeated errors in the Israeli and Palestinian conflict is that Israel is somehow holding Gaza in a siege and because of that it suffers as a result of Israeli aggression. The truth of the matter is that nothing could be further from the truth. The YNetNews website recently had an article that covered this topic and it is timely considering the increased pressure the U.S. is presently pushing on Israel. The YNetNews article reports:
United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon is set to arrive in Israel to visit the Gaza Strip amidst demands to end a so-called siege on the terrorist-controlled territory. Yet one has to ask what siege, or blockade, he is referring to, with 738,576 tons of humanitarian aid being transferred into the Gaza Strip in 2009.
Further:
Moreover, the UN has provided $200 million in Gaza Strip aid following a military operation that reportedly claimed 1,300 fatalities amongst a population of less than 1.5 million – meanwhile, notwithstanding plans to raise more funds, it has provided only $10 million to natural disaster victims in Haiti as of the end of January, an earthquake that claimed the lives of over 230,000 people and affected over 3 million. Of course, that is without mentioning that Haitians have not been attacking an innocent nearby civilian population for a near decade.
The facts being presented in the YNetNews article are very interesting in that Gaza presently and I would say has done so for a long time now, received more aid than current crisis centers around the rest of the world are receiving in light of devastating natural accidents like the earthquake in Haiti. The problem with the Palestinians is that they have not used the money they have been given to better the future of their citizens. The fact is the bulk of the aid money has been used to buy more arms in order to further attacks on Israel. Then what is remaining is usually funneled into secret accounts of the corrupt Palestinian leadership. Yasser Arafat's widow is still the last I heard still receiving millions of dollars a year from aid money in order to support her and her children who live in luxury outside the Palestinian area. This is simply a gross abuse and waste of the taxpayers money that comes from the rest of the world. There's an old saying that you can't get help unless you help yourself. I think this old saying is appropriate to describe the Palestinian situation because they have simply not helped themselves and demanded that aid money be used for humanitarian projects that would alleviate the conditions in Gaza. But as long as the fanatical terrorists maintain their iron grip on Gaza there is no light at the end of the tunnel for the average Gazan who would simply like to move on with their lives in peace.
The YNetNews article also detailed the "lie" bought by the international community despite the evidence contrary to what is currently being promoted in reference to a siege on Gaza. The news report went on to mention:
The international community has bought into a bold-faced lie about an Israeli siege on the Gaza Strip while ignoring the facts on the ground. International humanitarian aid has been flowing rapidly into the Gaza Strip for years and in no way stopped after Operation Cast Lead, as 30,576 aid trucks entered the territory in 2009. In 2009, 4,883 tons of medical equipment entered the Gaza Strip. Just last month, a new CAT scan machine was brought into the Strip.
So from these facts on the ground we can easily see that the "siege" on Gaza is a myth perpetuated by the Palestinians and international community in order to pressure Israel. The facts on the ground just simply do not support the myth that is being promoted in order to cast Israel into a negative light. But as usual, people are not interested in the truth, they are simply looking for more ammunition to act out their anti-Semitic aggression towards Israel. This has simply got to stop. The truth is being discarded for a lie, and aid money is simply being dumped into a bottomless pit. Back when Israel vacated the Gaza strip and turned it over to the Palestinians it was widely reported that many of the greenhouses that were used to produce a substantial amount of agriculture products as well as jobs were systematically destroyed by the Palestinians rather than using them to better the overall situation of the average Palestinian. The Palestinians destroyed these greenhouses simply because of their bottomless hatred towards Israel and the Jews. This was a classic case of where the Palestinians could have taken a step forward to improve their lives, economy, jobs, etc. but instead they chose to shoot themselves in the foot instead by destroying the greenhouses. In fact, the Palestinians have done this kind of stuff so much in the past it is surprising that they have any toes left.
Another myth perpetuated by the Palestinians and international community is that Gaza has been turned into the world's largest prison. The fact on the ground is quite different as outlined by the article:
The Gaza Strip has also been referred to as “the world’s largest prison”, implying that residents are not being able to exit the territory. Yet in 2009, 10,544 patients and their companions left the Gaza Strip for medical treatment in Israel, and last week alone nearly 500 patients and companions from Gaza entered Israel for treatment.
The truth of the matter is that the Palestinians have used unfettered access into Israel as a means of carrying out suicide attacks and other acts of violence. They simply have no one but themselves to blame for Israel closing some roadblocks and entry points into Israel as keeping them open compromises the security of Israel as a whole. The Palestinians and international community continue to perpetuate lies about Gaza and the Israeli behavior towards them without mentioning why these events have occurred.
Meanwhile, US government officials such as Congressmen Keith Ellison and Brian Baird, both of which visited Sderot with the Sderot Media Center, have promoted the idea of a “Gaza Siege.” They must be ignoring the fact that US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton pledged $900 million in aid to be sent to the Gaza Strip following Operation Cast Lead. A USAID and DOD report calculating the aid sent to the quake-raved Haiti noted that, as of last month, all US government programs provided just over $700 million in aid, nearly $200 million less than to the terrorist-controlled Gaza Strip.
It is noteworthy that U.S. Congressman Keith Ellison is an open Muslim and has anti-Semitic behavior towards Israel. He is an African-American Catholic convert to Islam. It is not surprising that people like him would continue to support the "lies" about Israeli behavior on Gaza in light of the truth we have already covered. The fact of the matter is that the situation in Gaza and even the West Bank will not improve until corruption is halted and most importantly until the Palestinians themselves decide to help themselves rather than running around shooting themselves in the foot. As long as the world community continues to play surrogate mother to the Palestinians, they will continue to play into the "myths" of the Palestinian and Israeli conflict. One way to protect yourself from falling into believing these satanic lies is to educate yourself on the truths of the situation and not to believe everything you read in the media, which is blatantly liberal and unsurprisingly anti-Semitic towards the Israelis. Only until the world community continues to stop supporting the Palestinians and buying the "lies" will change be possible. Even then that is very unlikely as long as fanatical Islamic terrorist groups continue to control the Palestinian areas.
Let us continue to pray for Israel and the peace of Jerusalem, that the world looks for the truth and does not buy the satanic lies anymore. The continued promotion of these lies breeds a victim mentality that is easily seized upon by the terrorists who hope to keep the Palestinian people in bondage which leads to antagonizing the Israelis. The constant barrage of anti-Semitic media and TV shows to the general Palestinian population as well as to little children does nothing to encourage a healthy relationship that will ultimately lead to a peaceful co-existence between both sides. These acts of hatred will only continue to inflame the fires of hatred and lead to further bloodshed. Let us continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, as the Lord Jesus Christ is the only one who can bring this troubled region back to genuine peace.

When the Republic Died, Obama Prayed

This photo is of our President praying at a special Islamic prayer session in the White House just two days before the Healthcare vote! When he says America is no longer a Christian nation, that is certainly true for him.
In my opinion, the Republic is dying a very quick and painful death. It did not begin with Obama or his brand of Liberation Theology/Socialism. It commenced when and increased in mortification when former Presidents, starting at Jimmy Carter, forced Israel into major concessions. Obama has upped the anti... and he isn't finished. He smiles as he ushers in the curse of God over our nation. Remember God's statement to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? "He who blesses you I will bless, but he who curses you I will curse with a curse."
Check this out from the American Thinker....

Where Were You When the Republic Died?
By Matt Patterson
In November 2008, Americans elected a socialist as their president. In March 2010, they woke up stunned to find themselves living in a socialist country.
Health insurers - once private companies - are now organs of the federal government. Every citizen is a ward of the state, which can now compel you to have insurance; punish you if you don't; determine if your insurance is acceptable; punish you if it isn't. Thousands of new federal bureaucrats will soon spill from the D.C. Beltway and flood the country, scrutinizing our finances to verify compliance with this new law. A government that grants itself this kind of power over us can conceivably do anything to us. For our own good, of course. Such a country is in no meaningful sense "free." And this is only the beginning.
Liberals are salivating in contemplation of all the fanciful window trimmings that can in the future be hung from this legislative framework. Public option will soon appear as prelude to single payer, as was the intent all along. Soon, Americans won't even have the illusion of a choice - the government will move from subsidizer to provider, and it will be the only game in town.So what's next? Some look to the states as possible saviors. Please. The states long ago surrendered their sovereignty, and are now junkies on federal monies, which they need for schools, roads, Medicaid, and much else. If the citizens are now wards of the federal government, the states long since preceded them in that sorry servitude.The individual? What are we going to do, not pay the taxes to support this beast? Oh, they'll take that from you before you ever get your check; we gave them that power to them long ago, remember. March on Washington, en masse? Lot of good that's done thus far.The Republicans? Assuming the GOP can take back both houses of Congress and the White House in the next couple of elections (by no means a sure thing), can you name one gigantic entitlement enacted by liberals that Republicans have successfully repealed? Or even made serious effort to repeal? Ever? Anyone? The Courts? Sure, maybe Obamacare will work its way through the courts, and maybe the Supreme Court will finally take up the case (there is no guarantee of that, remember), and maybe the Court will not have tilted left by then, and maybe the Justices will declare it unconstitutional. Then what? Who will enforce this decision? Obamacare is already unconstitutional on its face, and yet is the law of the land. Do you think the Democrats will say, "Oh, all-right, never-mind," and cheerfully strike it from the books after their successful five-decade long crusade? And even if a court challenge is eventually successful, how much of the bureaucracy will by then already be in place, how many of the thousands of new regulations already in effect, how much of the billions in new taxes and fines collected, how many jobs killed, how many middle class families addicted to the entitlement? There's a reason Democrats were desperate to ram this through at all cost - once enacted, such things are all but perpetual. Former freedom-loving peoples begin to tell themselves it's really not so bad. Sure, government is forcing you to eat state-approved gruel, but hey, at least they hold the spoon, and they even pour a little sugar on top when you're good.
The worst part of watching the proceedings unfold on Sunday was the endless stream of commentators and pundits calmly discussing this bill as if it were just one more piece of bad legislation we will have to live under. In fact, what has transpired is nothing less than an overthrow of the old Constitutional order. In 1776, the American Republic boldly announced its birth with the Declaration of Independence. In 2010, it quietly expired with a declaration of dependence - on government, on entitlement, and on the Democratic party.

Elitism at Work...here and abroad!

Today, we see progressive elitism at work! An elitist will do what he knows to be best for the country, or world, no matter what the citizens of the country, or world, want or don't want. Example: Healthcare.... Nearly 61% of the American public believe the current non-bill to be voted on by the US House of Representatives (that is an oxymoron) is wrong for America. What does the ELILTIST do? Push it through anyway, for the elitist knows best!
The same goes for Elitist foreign policy. There has to be a bad guy. There also has to be a downtrodden victim. Forget the facts! Forget that the downtrodden victim continues to launch rockets into civilian populations. Forget that the victim has been given a multitude of concessions yet continues to push for the annihilation of an entire people. Forget that the bad guy has given away most of the items in the store, but is now being required to give away the store too! Add an ELITIST who has decided to withhold important military hardware that would allow a friend to defend itself against a nuclear holocaust.
IT ALL ADDS UP TO....and ELITIST..... BARRACK HUSSEIN OBAMA
Read this article as congress prepares to take over your health insurance company...then your health management, and eventually control everything in your life including your freedom to worship as you choose.


Obama recalls bunker-buster bomb kits to bar Israeli strike on Iran
DEBKAfile Special Report

Shortly after Vice President Joe Biden's Israel visit ended on March 11 in high dudgeon over the approval 1,600 new homes in East Jerusalem, US president Barack Obama ordered a consignment of Joint Direct Attack Munition- JDAM already on its way to Israel to be diverted to the US Air Force base on the Indian Ocean island of Diego Garcia. This step, the pointer to a US arms embargo for preventing Israel attacking Iran's nuclear sites, is first revealed here by debkafile's military sources.
US military sources describe the consignment as consisting of 387 JDAM kits for attachment to the warheads of 2,000-pound BLU-109/MK-84 or the 1,000-pound BLU-110/MK-83 bunker-busters for their conversion into smart bombs. On March 13, debkafile disclosed that the Obama administration was pondering withholding from Israel military hardware that could be used for an Israeli attack on Iran. In late February, we reported that defense minister Ehud Barak had submitted to defense secretary Robert Gates a list of the items Israel required urgently to stand up to a four-front assault by Iran and its allies - mainly air force ordnance, certain types of missile and advanced electronic devices. Barak made it clear that all these items must be present in Israel before the outbreak of hostilities. The requests were so urgent that the minister proposed that if Washington was reluctant to hand them directly to Israel, they could be stored for the interim in the big American emergency depots in Israel's Negev.
The 387 DJAP kits were due for delivery at one of the Israeli Air Force's Negev bases in March. Because of his concern over the US president's step to divert the shipment, prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu decided to take the defense minister with him to Washington next Monday, March 22 and have him present at the meeting with Obama which the US media reports has been fixed for Tuesday (the day after his address to the AIPAC annual conference). Together they will ask for the delayed munitions to be released and handed over as part of any general understandings they may reach.

Why is Obama Making War on Israel

In the wake of this weeks vitriolic attack on Israel by the Obama administration, the question is fair and must be answered. "Why is Obama making war on Israel?"


War is exactly where this administration is headed. A constant barrage of verbal attacks is having an effect. Gallup polls show a weakening in support for Israel by the American public. Less than six months ago, 70% of American at large was in strong support of Israel. Today, the percentage of strong supporters of Israel is down to 52%, and this can be attributed to the constant spewing of anti-Israel propaganda by the Obama administration.
Why is this so?
I have several possibilities.....most should be taken together as a whole.
1. Obama’s assault on Israel is likely related to the failure of his Iran containment policy. Over the past week, senior administration officials including Gen. David Petraeus have made viciously defamatory attacks on Israel, insinuating that the construction of homes for Jews in Jerusalem is a primary cause for bad behavior on the part of Iran and its proxies in Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Syria and Gaza. By this line of thinking, if Israel simply returned to the indefensible 1949 armistice lines, Iran’s centrifuges would stop spinning, and Syria, al-Qaida, the Taliban, Hizbullah, Hamas and the Iranian Revolutionary Guards would all beat their swords into plowshares.
2. Obama may be attacking Israel in a bid to coerce Netanyahu into agreeing to give Obama veto power over any Israeli strike against Iran’s nuclear installations. This is not only underhanded, but insidious!
3. Obama wants to bring down Netanyahu’s government. By making demands Netanyahu and his coalition partners cannot accept, Obama hopes to bring down the government and replace Netanyahu and Likud with the far-leftist Tzipi Livni and Kadima. Of course, Obama didn't meddle in Iran when demonstraters against the regime were losing their lives.
4. Another explanation for Obama’s behavior is that he seeks to realign US foreign policy away from Israel. Obama’s constant attempts to cultivate relations with Iran’s unelected president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Ahmadinejad’s Arab lackey Syrian dictator Bashar Assad, and Turkey’s Islamist Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan make clear that he views developing US relations with these anti-American regimes as a primary foreign policy goal.
5. Lastly, when combining the Healthcare Fiasco being pushed through congress with the probability of a Middle East war this summer, one begins to see a pattern. With the continual takeover of the American economy, creating unmanageable debt, usurping freedoms on a never-before-witnessed scale, how would the economy and public react if gas prices shot to $7, $8, or $10 per gallon? This is exactly what would take place if Israel is forced to attack Iran and a war results. The result, America's new Third-World-Dictator will declare Martial Law and seize complete control......btw....I have lived in third world countries and have seen this scenario with my own eyes.
I believe this plan is designed! I also believe it will happen, according to the scriptures.
What does this mean for us Bible-thumping, enemy-loving, Kingdom-seekers?
1. The greatest days of witness for Christ, with accompanying miracles, is upon us.
2. Christ is calling his bride into purity and power, just as he has during the darkest times in history.
3. Our earthly citizenship might be in a dying America, but our perpetual citizenship is in a burgeoning, and coming, Kingdom of God.........capital city....JERUSALEM.
4. The Lord has promised to sustain, provide, propel, and use his followers. Stay tuned to HIM. Get closer than ever before. Open your eyes to the expanding opportunities to share the gospel. After you lead someone to Christ, disciple them quickly.
5. Get radically faithful to your Church, united prayer, and corporate worship. (This is practice for the Kingdom!)
