Delegitimizing Israel - The War Against God's
People And Land.
For Zion's sake I will not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her
righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burns..." (Isaiah ch61;v1)
"...The
anti-Semite rejoices at any opportunity to vent his malice. The times have made it unpopular in the West to proclaim openly
a hatred of the Jews. This being the case the anti-Semite must constantly seek new forms and forums for his poison. How he
must revel in the new masquerade. He does not hate Jews; he is just anti-Zionist! When people criticise Zionism, they mean
Jews, this is God's own truth..."
(from the writings of Martin Luther King Jr.)
The Progressive And Utter Delegitimization Of The Jewish People,
Israel & Its Right To Exist.
For
some time the international community and many elements of the professing Church have stood by and accepted the progressive
and utter delegitimization of Israel, the Jewish people and their right to exist as a nation in their ancient Biblical homeland.
Under the guide of a professed
legitimate criticism of Israel, hate filled elements have liberated extreme anti-Israeli discourse from the charge of anti-Semitism.
Such enabling the masses to believe that they can say anything they wish about the Jewish people and their state with relative
impunity.
It is a wicked strategy wherein '"disguised" hate speech relating to the
Jews can intimidate any aggrieved person from responding to the vitriolic rhetoric with accusations of anti-Semitism - whether
such is present or not - for fear of even further ridicule. It damns the victim if he/she is silent or if they dare to speak
up. A very effective weapon for quelling freedom of speech and for the perpetration of racism and hatred.
However, it is something that just won't wear. Anyone with
the slightest level of discernment will be able to see the platform of such comments and whether they are anti-Semitic (hatred
of the Jews) or not.
Indeed, while cloaked in the more socially acceptable political/humanitarian euphemisms
of anti-Israelism or anti-Zionism, it doesn't much effort on the part of a honest individual to see the basis of subsequent
comments.
Criticism of Israel, like that of any other nation, is quite normal as long as it is comparative,
contextual, and fair. However, when the Jewish nation is the only party criticized for faults, often obsessively, that are
far worse among other peoples, then such criticism crosses the line from being acceptable to being blatantly anti-Semitic.
This applies to the individual, group, nation or media entity concerned.
Led By The Arab/Islamic World.
The Arab/Islamic world is in the forefront of this campaign, often
using the media to disseminate lies and misinformation about the Jews. Media spin and internet propaganda blinding many to
the true facts in the Middle East while historical revisionism has arbitrarily altered the historical record to allow anti-Israeli
elements to gain a political advantage through the development of an anti-Israel narrative that has spread like a virus.
The common denominator being the systematic
effort to criminalise, defame and demonise Israeli and Jewish behaviour to place it beyond the pale of civilised and acceptable
conduct.
Satan's desire is to
frustrate the purposes of God and if that were possible to discredit Him as a covenant-keeping God who is ever faithful to
His Word. Satan has been doing all he can, through human agencies from the time of Pharoah, to radical Islamists, today to
annihilate the Jewish people and to disprove their connection to the Land of Israel.
In the past the most dangerous anti-Semites were those who wanted to make
the world Judenrein, free of Jews. Today the most dangerous anti-Semities might be those who want to make the world Judenstaatrein,
free of a Jewish state.
During recent
direct negotiations between the Arabs and Israelis in Washington the true purpose of the talks was revealed in the Palestinian
newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadida dated 09 Sept 2010 where it was reported says the PA Ambassador to Lebanon, Abdullah Abdullah,
assured the Arab world that current direct negotiations are just part of a larger plan to delegitimize Israel.
Abdullah is quoted in Arabic, that "the
Palestinian-Israeli negotiations...are not a goal, but rather another stage in the Palestinian struggle... to isolate Israel,
to tighten the noose on it, to threaten its legitimacy, and to present it as a rebellious, racist state."
Nations Embrace - Instead of Resisting -
The Perpetual Enmity Of The Arab/Islamic World Against Israel.
Many nations find it advantageous and politically expedient to embrace, rather than resist,
the adversarial disposition of perpetual enmity exhibited exclusively against Israel by the Arab/Islamic world.
Using political euphemisms they condone terrorism
and violence against the Jews and their state while simultaneously pressurising Israel to cede yet more of their ancestral
homeland to an entity sworn to destroy them. The dictionary has a word to describe this; it is called appeasement.
We have an international community, including
the United Nations and the current Obama administration which has an agenda which seeks to isolate Israel in deference to
Arab demands.
International diplomats,
governments too, are cynically distancing themselves from the Jewish state in order to curry popularity by capitalizing on
the anti-Israeli hatred which has engulfed the world.
In an effort to ingratiate itself with the Arab/Islamic world, even the Obama administration has shown a troubling
eagerness to vilify, denigrate and isolate the Jewish state of Israel. Utter contempt has been shown for the Jewish claim
to the "disputed" territories, not least Jerusalem with it's 3,000 year Jewish heritage.
Ongoing events have shown many nations/peoples
to be in full accord with the Palestinian/Arab stance of making areas of Israel's ancient homeland "Judenrein"
by "resettling" the Jews elsewhere and creating their own "final solution" to
the Jewish problem.
God's Foreign
Policy versus The United Nations.
At the United Nations, a lynch mob for Israel is always just a moment away. The Islamic countries are a reliable
source of venom, led by the Arab bloc; what we used to call the "non-aligned" are all aligned against Israel and
happy to join the fun; and the Europeans can be counted on for hand-wringing rather than staunch resistance.
Only the United States, and a few brave allies like Canada, can
be counted upon to oppose diplomatic lynchings year after year; and only the United States can stop them in the Security Council,
but the Obama administration is showing an increasing reluctance to do so.
Israel is being pushed to make huge one-sided high-risk concessions, for which it gets little
or nothing in return; all on the basis of a web of lies that have been thoroughly disproved, but repeated often enough, loudly
enough and from high enough places that the world either pretends to or really does believe.
Current international law is a prescription for Israel`s destruction
as it evolves along the requirements of national interests and the perceived changing of historical factors. It promotes the
national interests expedient to member states.
What is utterly ignored or trodden underfoot is God's foreign policy toward the region, indeed in relation to
all the nations/peoples of the earth, which is directly connected with their relationship to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob.
The world tries to "cough
up" attempts at a political solution to the Arab/Israeli conflict but they fail to realise that it matters not what
the world envions the UN is not, and has not ability, to override God's Will.
The Hebrew Scriptures clearly define the position of the God of Israel in
relation to His Land, His People and the consequences/accountability of dividing up His Land.
When such is analysed in detail astute observers will have no doubt
that in the current political climate the international community and world media would have the arrogance to call the Lord
God of the Bible an extremist too! Calling Himself the Lord God of Israel would obviously be tantamount to breaking all rules
of political correctness and clear the path for a deluge of anti-Zionist slogans.
Wht is forgotten is that the concept of international law, as created by
the amoral gentile nations, is a nullity in God's Eyes. It must be remembered that the collective will of the international
community, as expressed through the pronouncements and actions of the U.N., is not necessarily synonymous with principles
of righteousness and enlightenment.
The
U.N. is, after all, a political body which gives equal weight to the views of pacific democracies and violent dictatorships.
This unfortunate dynamic is reflected in the composition of all of its constituent agencies, such as its misnamed Security
Council, its misnamed Human Rights Council (formerly, Human Rights Commission), its misnamed Disarmament Commission and its
misnamed International Court of Justice.
Moreover, due to the fact that nations which are governed by totalitarian regimes (of greater or lesser degree),
as well as democracies which attach more importance to their mercantile interests (including their access to petroleum) than
to upholding principles of either Morality or International Law, continue to constitute the vast majority of the UN's
membership, their views predominate and, consequently, tend to represent the amoral -- and often immoral -- collective will
of the international community. In blunt terms, the United Nations represents rule by mob.
Israel's International Image.
In the past few years, Israel has been subjected to increasingly
harsh and systematic criticism around the world, resulting in an erosion of its international image
In some
places, criticism has stretched beyond legitimate discourse regarding Israeli policy to a fundamental challenge to the country's
right to exist.
Pervasively dominated
by vilification and demonization many nations and organisations are now using boycotts and divestment initiatives as a front
for the real goal of liquidising Israel as a Jewish state, wherein international processes working toward the delegitimization
of Israel as the national home of the Jewish people are clear for all to see.
Meaning to portray Israel as an oppressive and illegitimate state accusations of war crimes
and crimes against humanity eagerly get picked up by the "delegitimization organizations and coalitions"
as valuable weapons in their arsenals. These entities portraying Israel as "the source of injustice and conflict in the
world" and perversely using the language of human rights to do so.
Disproportionate preoccupation with Jews and the Jewish state has resulted in serious and
thoughtful people frequently advocating and taking actions that are anti-Semitic in their effect if not in their original
intent.
Israel is all too often
held to different standards of behavior expected of other nation states, particularly western liberal democracies. Israel
is, of course, far from perfect, yet individual blemishes are magnified under the intense glare of international media coverage
to create a disproportionately negative image of the country as a whole.
The Media.
Within the international media the need to be the first
and the desperate fight for "ratings" leads to the distortion and trivialization of the news.
The British media's manipulation, sometimes
stemming from the blatant anti-Semitism of certain British journalists, is in many ways far more dangerous since well-meaning
people around the world watching British media (such as the BBC) or reading respected British publications online, might actually
believe they are telling the truth.
The Western media, no doubt with their Governments' behest, are engaged
on a propaganda war against Israel with the intention of supporting the creation of a Palestinian State and fulfilling the
Western agenda in the region.
In so doing, basic historical truths and absolute facts relating to the Israeli-Palestinian/Arab
conflict are being ignored or trodden underfoot. The perception of the Western public is being slanted by a series of half-truths,
selective omission and some basic downright lies.
Many have been led to believe through the media that the
reason for the continuous state of war between Israel and the Arabs is because Israel is allegedly "occupying Arab
land" .
Through endless repetition the engraving upon people's minds of this line of political propaganda
has deceived the populace from the fundamental truths behind this conflict.
The world being largely ignorant that
the Arabs were making war against Israel when the Arabs held the land and that is how they came to lose it in the first place.
The ignorance of Western society in
relation to the history of the Middle East and the Jewish & Arab peoples is being fundamentally abused by the Western
world in order that the International political, monetary and material interests of such nations can be achieved. The scapegoat
of such policies is again the Jew.
Various
sections of the media control and manipulate the flow of news to the public, deciding what they hear and when they hear it.
Selecting what to include and what to omit.
Palestinian opinion is regularly presented as fact. Many elements of the media expediently exaggerating some facts,
distorting others, and hiding or minimizing still others.
News reports from publications such as the Guardian, the Independent, the BBC, ITV, CNN et al seem to follow the
lines of a Palestinian script.
They pander to the agendas of Palestinian extremists who seek exploitation of the
media and prey on the fears of the public in order to alter their perception of events and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict
through a series of half-truths and selective headlines wherein Israelis are dehumanized while Palestinians are depicted as
victims.
The public is being completely
and utterly deceived by the manner in which the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is being presented to them. A process which consists
of a mixture of propaganda and political euphemisms that circumvent the truth. Anti-Israeli spin-doctors in the media and
diplomatic arenas have had enormous success in deluding the public at large.
The Trojan Horse Within Israel's
Borders.
The "Trojan
Horse" still with Israel's gates is the ongoing pursuit of the creation of yet another Arab state within the
Biblical heartland of Israel.
Another
Arab state which demands the expulsion of all Jews from its borders and which has publicly declared its intent to use any
such land ceded to it as a platform from which to destroy Israel.
A Palestinian Arab state whose borders would indeed render the Jewish state indefensible
by conventional means.
Astute observers
and Biblical scholars will be only too aware that the Arab-Israeli conflict has little if anything to do with territory.
It is about God and about the immutable
Arab/Islamic committment to rid the region of Jews by every possible means.
The borders of any Jewish state are an irrelevance, it is the very existence of a Jewish
state in what is seen as Islamic land that is the core issue.
At the Camp David Accords of 2001, under the auspices of then President Clinton, Yasser Arafat was offered by Israeli
leader Ehud Barak between 94% and 96% of "West Bank" territory. inclusive of a "land-swap" of between
1% and 3%.
This included a deal
on the Temple Mount and east Jerusalem. These areas to form a Palestinian state with an agreement to declare an "end
of conflict" and an "end to all claims". Arafat refused, made no concessions or offers of his
own and returned to violence. Anything less than everything was not enough.
Arafat refused as he knew that any concessions to the Jews in any of these areas would result
in his overthrow. His successor and current Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas knows this too. These leaks
need to be seen in this context as well as that of his recent call for a pan-Arab war against Israel to the Arab League
in Libya.
This is not a conflict over territory. It is about the existence of a Jewish state in land perceived
as forever Islamic. Any truce, talks or "hudna" is expedient towards the same end, the destruction
of Israel.
The Arab/Islamic
world will settle for nothing less than exclusive title to ALL the land.
Whereas Zionism calls for a Jewish state, "Palestinianism" promotes the
denial and ultimate destruction of any such Jewish state.
The author Bat Ye'or defines "Palestinianism" in her excellent book
"Eurabia; The Euro-Arab Axis" ;-
"Palestinianism condenses jihadist values. It promotes the destruction of Israel, the denial of Hebrew Biblical
history and hence Christianity. It preaches Islamic replacement theology and the Arabization & Islamization of the Holy
Land's Biblical archaeology."
Arab Aggression And Israeli Self Defence.
While President Obama and many other world leaders have
endorsed a two-state solution, but what these same leaders don't appear to understand is that key Arab players don't.
Some believe Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas might accept a two-state solution, but the same parties are willingly ignorant
that is only as a first step toward the ultimate elimination of Israel.
The still existent Palestinian "plan
of phases" and the charters of both Fatah and Hamas declare as much.
The Israeli government, which is obligated, like all other governments, to protect its people,
provide security, and ensure survival, must use the military force necessary to put an end to terrorism.
Yet the torrent of condemnations, denunciations, diplomatic attacks
and media outrage directed at Israel for having the temerity to defend its own citizens has been unprecedented during the
recent Arab initiated conflicts with Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza.
Each time Israel defends itself against Islamic terrorists, it is warned that defending
itself will only inspire more hatred. And so it scales down its self-defense. It abandons defensible borders. It cedes land
to terrorists for promises of "peace".
The folly of Gaza has shown Israel and the World what
to expect but the World demands that Israel cede more land to the same entities to an extent that its remaining territory
is virtually undefensible.
The underlying
narrative of just about every liberal attack on Israel has been this - "Defending yourself only makes us hate you
more".
Thus attempting
to defend yourself would itself be an indictment proving the case already made against you.
Similarly Israel is charged with defending itself too strongly.
Anytime Israel defends itself in any way, it is automatically then proven guilty of defending itself. Liberal bigotry against
Israel is not simply a charge immune to any defence, it is a charge which incorporates any defence as proof of the truth of
the original accusation. Self-defence itself becomes the crime.
Speaking the truth about the situation only
inspires more vitriol, as the bigot warns his target that defending Israel is itself hateful, and will cause him to hate even
more.
This cynical sleight of hand
is of course an old trick used by bigots to inhibit their targets from daring to fight back.
While the Muslims wield the battering ram, their liberal advocates
demand that Israel raise the gates to let them in.
When the terrorists open fire, the left demands that Israel not shoot back.
When Jews are murdered, the left shrugs. It has nothing to say about dead
Jews.
Only about the inconvenience
of still having living ones around and cluttering up the place.
While they are not prepared to make active war against Israel. they instead work to characterize any self-defense
by Israel as illegitimate.
Whatever
Israel does, it is indicted for excessively defending itself. An excessive defense in their eyes being any defense at all.
Israeli acts of self-defence and retaliation
against unprovoked Islamic violence have been criticised and condemned by nations once thought to have been allies of the
Jewish state.
Israel can now clearly
see that these "part-time allies" now have no real interest in the security of the Jewish people, and if
Israel's security is left to these nations then Jews will once more face the spectre of a Holocaust.
Israel
is the only nation on the face of the earth that important sections of opinion consider to be guilty for being a nation, wrong
for claiming it's homeland as its own and unjust for trying to defend itself against enemies who wish it's destruction.
With nonchalance the entire Western world demands that
Israel accepts risks that no elected government in any Western state would ever willingly accept in relation to it's own
security. This is essentially a creeping annulment of Israel's right to self defence.
Western nations have stood aside in the past whilst Arab regimes have invaded
Israel from all sides. We have washed our hands of the Jewish destiny so many times. The lesson Israel has taken from this
appalling negligence is obvious; it can rely on no one to protect its citizens and stand up for its right to self-defence
other than itself.
Fighting Israel By
Proxy.
The truth should
be obvious to everyone with eyes that see. Arab countries have never abandoned the dream of destroying Israel ;
they still cherish it today.
Having
time and again failed to achieve their evil goal with military means, they decided to fight Israel by proxy through
the terrorist entities such as Hamas and Hezbollah.
The Arab/Islamic world has, through propaganda and the media, brilliantly reconfigured the Arab war of extermination
against Israel as the oppression by Israel of the Palestinians. That has transformed Israel from victim to aggressor - the
reversal of reality which lies at the very heart of the western obsession with the "settlements" and the
territories.
It used to be 250
million Arabs against "little Israel".
Arab/Islamic propaganda has deluded
the World to believe that it's the "big bad Israeli 'Goliath' " against the "pitiful little Palestinian 'David' ".
Concealed under the umbrella
of Islam is the fact that the Palestinians are just the "tip of the Arab/Islamic" spear in the war against
Israel.
At every turn in dealings with Israel and the West the Palestinians report back to the Arab League...
with one billion Muslims on their side and 22 Arab/Islamic nations behind them eagerly pursuing the ceding of more Israeli
territory in order that they can continue the agenda of destroying the Jewish state that was interrupted during previous Arab
initiated conflicts.
Palestinian
Chairman Mahmoud Abbas reiterating his preference for a pan-Arab war against Israel to the Arab League in Libya, emphasising
that he could only proceed if all fellow members joined him. This is the true face of Israels "peace partner"
who wants a "Judenrein" Palestinian Arab state in Israel's Biblical heartland of Judea and Samaria.
Anyone who believes that
his attitude would change if such territory was ceded, and Israel left with an indefensible coastal strip only nine miles
wide is not living in the real world.
Yet
this is what the World demands when it mentions the 1967 borders. Borders which have already been used in a military conflict
pursuant to Israel's destruction.
Removing
Israel's nuclear deterrent is another step in this process as those involved are only too aware from history of what may
happen when they fail in their intentions. The Palestinian issue is just the fig leaf for the same agenda that has existed
since 1948. Settlements and borders mean nothing, they are just part and parcel of the overall plan to obtain as much territory
as possible in order to weaken Israel and use it as a platform towards their ultimate goal. Its in the Arab charters, its
in the Arab press and media and its in their hearts and minds.
Western leaders allow their arms dealers to sell the Arab states almost 20 times the weaponry they sell Israel with
no parallel restrictions as to when/how these weapons can be used.
In terms of demography, territory, geo-strategic location and wealth the Arabs were, and
still are, overwhelmingly superior to Israel. Although this superiority has been slightly blunted by Israel's qualitative
edge.
The Arabs possess a stronger
staying power than Israel in any protracted conflict to such an extent that any qualitative edge can quickly be closed to
a level that their overwhelming quantitative superiority can be brought to bear.
They can indeed absorb a whole plethora of successive military setbacks
while Israel cannot afford a single military defeat.
The Arabs keen awareness of this fundamental asymmetry
has sustained their hopes for the eventual destruction of Israel.
The Expulsion Of Jews.
The expulsion of the Jews from Arab territories is nothing new. Nearly one
million were expelled around 1948 surrounding Israel's rebirth. They had lived in these Arab nations for thousands of
years but their property was confiscated by their Arab/Islamic hosts and their history erased.
The expulsion of the Jews was also part of the Arab plan for ethnic
cleansing of Jerusalem and Judea & Samaria in 1948.
Nobody in the world protested this ethnic cleansing of Jews even. Nobody protested the fact that the Jordanians destroyed
58 of the 59 synagogues of Jerusalem's Jewish Quarter, or that they used the headstones of graves in the Mount of Olives
cemetery to pave walkways for Jordanian latrines.
Gaza is already "Judenrein".
Every living
and dead Jew was removed as the territory was ceded in good faith to the Palestinians for peace. Yet Gaza has clearly shown
itself to be a precursor to what will happen in and to any land ceded by Israel.
The world was silent as Gaza's Jews were expelledl
The world
was silent during Gaza's election of a terrorist entity sworn to destroy the Jewish state.
The world was silent
as 10,000 missiles were launched from Gaza against neighbouring Jewish civilians.
The world only broke it's
thunderous silence when Israel responded to this violence to defend itself.
Astute observers will be asking what exactly the world wants of the Jews, or if they really
want them at all.
Will the world also respond in silence as Jews are ethnically expelled from what it now calls
the "West Bank" and be similarly muted when that land is used as another platform towards the eventual
eradication of Israel itself, just as the Palestinians have sworn in their many charters?
I make no apologies
in asking if it is really a "two state solution" or another "final solution" that is
being sought ?
Today some
analysts are of the opinion that there are already effectively three Palestinian "states".
One in Jordan, divided to create an Arab State in the bygone days
of the Palestine Mandate.
A second state in Gaza, which is ruled over by Hamas as part of the spoils from their
war with Fatah.
A third state in the "West
Bank" ruled over by Abbas and Fatah, even though his term ended and there have been no new elections.
Out of this hodgepodge, Israel is expected to negotiate, even though Hamas refuses to negotiate any permanent peace agreement,
and Fatah has no legal authority to represent anyone.
Jordan itself is a colonial creation, carved out of the British Mandate for Palestine as a consolation prize for
a one-time British ally - the Hashemites - that lost its hold on the Hijaz to the al' Saud tribe. After the War of Independence,
Jordan illegally annexed Judea and Samaria, renaming it the West Bank. That annexation was only recognized by Pakistan and
the UK. But Jordan abandoned all claims to that territory in 1988.
You will not, of course, hear about any of this in the media, which is still busy being
outraged by the thought of Jews living in Jerusalem.
Israel's Existence Will Never Be Tolerated By Islam.
The Palestinian Arabs' unwillingness to live in
peaceful coexistence with Israel is evidenced in regular polls that show widespread support for terrorist attacks against
Israelis, as well as the success of the Hamas terrorist organization in municipal and national elections over the past few
years.
There is a desperate + urgent need to educate such people in Middle East history and by this
I don't mean the Arab/Islamic/Palestinian narrative so prevalent in the media.
The West is experiencing a total
inversion of truth evidence and reason. A society's thinking class has overwhelmingly subscribed to an immoral, patently
false and in many cases demonstrably absurd account of the Middle East, past and present, which it has uncritically absorbed
and assumes to be true.
In routine, everyday discourse history is turned on its head; logic is suspended; and an
entirely false narrative of the conflict is now widely accepted as unchallengeable fact, from which fundamental error has
been spun a global web of potentially catastrophic false conclusions.
This has led to a kind of dialogue of the
demented in which rational discussion is simply not possible because there is no shared understanding of the meaning of language.
So victim and victimiser, truth and lies, justice and injustice turn into their precise opposite.
Because
Islam is considered perfect, its adherents can never do wrong. All their aggression is therefore represented as self-defence,
while western/Israeli self-defence is said to be aggression.
Islam will never tolerate Israel's existence irrespective of size/borders & will use any means at it's
disposal to destroy it - including brainwashing the west. Peace for the Arab/Islamic world is not a matter of adjusting borders
and territory but rather a euphemism for eliminating the Jewish state in it's entirety.

The Palestinian question will remains unsolved as long as the Arabs have not obtained what they want. The deplorable
situations of the Palestinian refugees are needed for politics, not by Jews, but by the Arab/Islamic world.
The
Arabs could otherwise easily solve the problems of their Palestinian cousins if they just wanted it for the sake of the Palestinians
welfare. However, the welfare of the Palestinians is not their concern - their desire is for the land of the Jews.
The Arab/Islamic world demands a Jew free Middle East and the territory occupied by Israel. The conflict is not about the
Palestinians, it is not about borders, it is about the very existence of a Jewish state upon territory that is considered
forever Islamic. The conflict is both religious and spiritual.
It takes cognisance of the seething hatreds unleashed
in a radicalised Islam, not only against Israel and Zionism, but also against Judaism and the Jews whose history is now being
vilified, discredited and denied by some Muslims in a fashion not previously known.
The existence of Israel constitutes
what is seen as the dismemberment of Arab and Islamic land and it's usurpation by the Jews.
The fact that Jews had remained in their ancient homeland for some
three thousand years without interruption is of no consequence to Islam.
After 1967, for Western consumption, the
Arab/Islamic world tried to modify the tone of it's demands and began to emphasise the issues of human rights rather than
the final goal of liquidating the Jewish state - although the ultimate aim remained the same. Arab/Islamic leaders discovering
that talk of 'throwing the Jews into the sea' may be counter productive to the Arab cause within the Western mindset.
The Islamic world does not hate Israel
because they care about the human rights of the Palestinians. If they cared about human rights they would have human rights
in their own countries. The Islamic world hates Israel because, essentially because they are Jews and they are living in what
is perceived as Islamic land as a sovereign state. When Muslims treat the Palestinians in any questionable fashion no-one
in the Arab/Islamic world or the International Community seems to care.
The Palestinian Arabs In
Their Own Words.
"Israel
will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it..."
- Hamas Charter.
"Israel is not a legitimate entity, and no amount of pressure can force us
to recognize its right to exist."
-Dr. Mahmud Al-Zahar, Hamas leader in Gaza, Washington Times, February
4, 2006
"Before Israel dies, it must be humiliated and degraded. Allah willing, before they die, they will
experience humiliation and degradation every day."
- Dr. Mahmud Al-Zahar, Hamas leader in Gaza, Washington
Times, February 4, 2006
"Neither the liberation of the Gaza Strip nor the liberation of the West Bank
or even Jerusalem will suffice us. Hamas will pursue the armed struggle until the liberation of all our lands. We don't
recognize the state of Israel or its right to hold onto one inch of Palestine. Palestine is an Islamic land belonging to all
the Muslims."
- Dr. Mahmud al-Zahar, Hamas leader in Gaza, The Jerusalem Post, August 18, 2005
"I will not accept an agreement saying that at the end of the day, Haifa, Jaffa and Acre are Israeli
cities and part of the Israeli land..... what should be sought is a true solution, which will restore all the Palestinian
rights and will lead to an end to the existence of this entity in the region...."
Osama Hamdan; Hamas
Representative In Lebanon; April 2007
"The vanquishing of the enemy in Gaza does not mean that this stage has ended.
We still have Jerusalem and the pure West Bank. We will not rest until we liberate all our land and all our Palestine. We
do not distinguish between what was occupied in the 1940's and what was occupied in the 1960s. Our Jihad continues and
we still have a long way to go. We will continue until the very last usurper is driven out of our land..."
Sheik
Nizar Rayan; Hamas political leader - Gaza rally, Al-Jazeera TV, 16 Sept. 2005.
For over 40 years Israel has been signing treaties with
the Palestinian Muslims To date not a single one has been honoured. Since we are all infidels as far as Islam is concerned,
any treaty signed with non Muslims is not binding on them unless it is in Islam's best interests to observe it. Despite
the wishful thinking of our ever so pragmatic politicians that is the reality.
It begs the question of what it
is that so aggravates the Arab and Islamic world about the tiny State of Israel. Surely they have enough land already! They
constantly declare they will never rest until they utterly destroy the Israelis.
Where
Do We Stand.
It should not
be surprising that the Jewish people and Israel, together with the Hebrew-Christian Scriptures which contain the title deeds
of the Land of Israel, are under vicious attack.
The devil knows his time is running out. Messiah is coming soon. Ultimately God's foreign policy and God's
will in relation to the Land and People of Israel will be accomplished. Israel will be physically regathered and spiritually
restored.
Yet in these
latter days, amid the strong delusion confronting mankind and the nations, we need to ask ourselves where we stand with reference
to God's People and Land of Israel.
I do not consider
it a coincidence that I write this on Holocaust Remembrance Day.

man, ... You believe in God and life after death. I also believe. When we come to the other world and meet the millions of
Jews who died in the camps and they ask us, 'What have you done?' there will be many answers. You will say, 'I
became a jeweler.' Another will say, 'I smuggled coffee and American cigarettes.' Another will say, 'I built
houses.' But I will say, 'I didn't forget you' " (Simon Wiesenthal)
"For
I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me. Declaring the end from the beginnning and from ancient
times things that are not yet done.." (Isaiah 46; 9-10).
"The Lord brings the counsel of the
nations to nothing; He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect" ......."The Lord foils the plans of the nations;
He thwarts the purposes of the peoples, But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of His Heart through all
generations.." (Psalm 33; 10-11; NKJV & NIV)....
