David's Comment: Why the
Peace Negotiations Must Not Succeed
Psalm 105:6-10 O seed of Abraham His servant, you
children of Jacob, His chosen ones! He is the LORD our God; his
judgments are in all the earth. He remembers His covenant forever, the
word which He commanded, for a thousand generations, The covenant which
He made with Abraham, and His oath to Isaac, And confirmed it to Jacob for a
statute, to Israel as an everlasting covenant, (NKJ)
This week the Israel's PM Netanyahu flew to Washington to
meet with PA leader Machmud Abbas. Both leaders have 3 things in common.
1/ Both have been 'rail-roaded' by pressure from the Obama administration
2/ Both leaders are unable to meet the demands of the other side
3/ Both leaders risk losing their position because if they concede to the
other sides demands
Apart from that the people of the United States and any other nation that
involves itself in dividing God's Land, will pay a very high price
indeed. Down through history, every nation, no matter how great or how
powerful, signed its own death warrant, when it poke its finger in the 'apple
of God's eye'.
The US president is dooming his country to the same fate. The
Lord announces the fate of those who divide His land in Joel chapter 3
Joel 3:1-2 "For behold, in those days and at that
time, when I bring back the captives of Judah and Jerusalem, I will also
gather all nations, and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; and I
will enter into judgment with them there on account of My people, My heritage
Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations; they have also divided up
My land. (NKJ)
The US & other nations are placing the noose on their own necks for the
sake of the mythical so called Palestinian people, a race that never existed
before 1967. Prior to 1967 only the Jews who had lived in the region
that the Romans renamed Palestina in 70 AD, were ever referred to as
Palestiaians. If you dont believe me, please write to me and I will send
you the evidence.
The Quartet's 'Road Map' is not God's map for the Middle East. God's map gives
all of the land from the Nile River to the Euphrates River, including parts of
Lebanon, Syria, all of Jordan, and a good portion of Iraq to Israel (see
Genesis 15: 17 -19). To disagree with that is to directly fly
in the face of God.
As Bible believing Christians we have no option that to believe the Bible and
agree with what God says.
Now there are 5 new Jewish victims of Obama's delusional Peace Process.
The four were shot to death in Tuesday evening by terrorists in an attempt to
derail the peact talks. One of the victims was a 24 year old religous
Jewish woman with a 9 month baby in her womb. They shot the driver first,
causing the car to crash off the road. Then the terrorists shot the other
occupants at point blank range - unchallenged. The driver of the car has
his liscence to carry a gun taken off him last week - more fruit of
US pressure on the Israeli government to disarm the people living in Judea
& Samaria. Had there been a gun in the car, the death toll may have
only been one. The blood of these 5 Jews is on Mr Obama's and
Hillary Clinton's hands. They will need to account for that when they
stand before the Lord one day. I have a question for you. Was there
an outcry at this horrific cold blooded murder in your local media ?
The million dollar question is " Will PM Netanyahu cave in under
international pressure and give away a large portion of God's land.
Israel has buckled under international pressure several times before. PM
Begin gave away the Sinai Peninsular in 1975 and Mr Netanyahu have away, Jericho
and Bethlehem last time he was the prime minister. Then PM Ariel Sharon
gave away the Gaza Strip in 2005. These Israeli leaders gave away God's
land for the hollow promise of peace - and all Israel got in exchange was
terror and war. To follow is an excellent article which clearly
explains why is is a giant mistake to negotiate land for peace with the
Muslims.
The
'disengagement' disaster, five years on
by
Jeff Jacoby The
Boston Globe August 18, 2010
FIVE YEARS
AGO, the Gaza Strip was forcibly purged of its Jews. In the largest
non-combat operation in the history of the Israeli Defense Forces, 50,000
troops were deployed to expel some 9,000 residents and destroy the 21
pioneering communities in which some of them had lived for nearly four decades.
(Four communities in northern Samaria on the West Bank were also
evacuated.) The name given to this expulsion by Israel's
government, then headed by Ariel Sharon, was "disengagement." The
name implied, and a majority of Israelis appeared to believe, that by totally
withdrawing from Gaza they would no longer be trapped in a dysfunctional
relationship with Gaza's hostile and sometimes violent Arabs.
"What will we have gained by destroying thriving
communities, dividing Israeli society, and embittering some of our most
idealistic citizens?" one thoughtful Israeli commentator, Yossi Klein
Halevi, wrote at the time in The Jerusalem Post. "The most obvious . . .
gain is what we will lose: We will be
freeing ourselves from more than a million Palestinians."
Many Israelis -- and many supporters of Israel internationally -- bought this
argument, persuaded, perhaps, by the Sharon government's sweeping
vision of the blessings that would flow from so radical an act of ethnic
self-cleansing. "It will be good for us and will be good for the
Palestinians," forecast then-Deputy Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, who was to
succeed Sharon a few months later. "It will bring more security, greater
safety, much more prosperity, and a lot of joy for all the people that live in
the Middle East." Olmert prayed that with disengagement, "a new
morning of great hope will emerge in our part of the world," and that
Israelis and Palestinians together would make the Middle East "what it was
destined to be from the outset, a paradise for all the world."
Had any of this actually come to pass, the trauma and destruction of the Gaza expulsion
might have been justifiable. In fact, disengagement was a staggering failure, a
disaster in every respect. It was seen by most Palestinians not as a courageous
act of goodwill and an invitation to peace, but as a retreat under fire, much
like the Israeli
flight from southern Lebanon five years earlier. It led therefore not to
less terrorism but to more, as Palestinian militants vastly expanded their
arsenal of rockets,
guns, and explosives, and launched thousands of attacks over the border
into Israel. Far from encouraging Palestinian moderation, disengagement
energized Gaza's most extreme and hateful irredentists. Five months after the
Jewish residents left, Hamas
swept to victory in the Palestinian Authority elections; a year later, it
seized total control in Gaza, routing Fatah in a savage
civil war.
The fruit of disengagement was not the "new morning of great hope" that
Sharon and Olmert -- and their countless enablers in the West -- envisioned.
Instead, it was an erosion of respect for Israeli strength and deterrence. It
was the Second Lebanon War of 2006 and the three-week Israel-Hamas war that
began at the end of 2008. It was the entrenchment of Iran, via Hamas and
Hezbollah, on Israel's northern and southern borders. It was the
burning of Gaza's synagogues and the trashing of its famous
greenhouses. It was the kidnapping of Gilad
Shalit, who has been a hostage in Gaza for more than four of the five years
since Israel abandoned the territory to its enemies. It was the further
blackening of Israel's international reputation. It was the immiseration of
Gaza's Palestinians under a fundamentalist Hamas
dictatorship.
Most Israelis who supported disengagement now express regret. But
too many of them remain in the grip of the "peace process" delusion
-- the Oslo chimera that peace with the Palestinians is achievable through
diplomacy, concessions, and transfers of land. It isn't, and Israel and its
friends must start saying so. Rather than endlessly professing its willingness
to negotiate and its appetite for a "two-state solution," Israel
should tell the truth: Peace will never be possible with "partners"
that refuse to accept the permanent legitimacy of Jewish sovereignty in the
Middle East.
Disengagement was an abomination for a lot of reasons, but for one above all:
It began from the premise that any future Palestinian state must be wiped clean of Jews. Did
Israel really need to learn the hard way that peace will never lie down that
road? (Jeff Jacoby is a columnist for The Boston
Globe).
Please stand with us in prayer for the Peace Talks to once
again be a total failure
The Lord bless you as you bless Israel by standing in
defense of her right to exist on the land given to the Jewish people by the God
of Israel.
Lets pray that Israel will turn back to their God. Do not be silent, but
share this with your fellow Christians, share it with your pastors, and with
anyone you have a chance to speak to. Lets also pray for that breakthrough to
the Muslims, and please remember to pray for all of the soldiers in the
IDF -they are defending and fighting for the Kingdom of God.
Shabbat Shalom .... David & Josie
