Suicide.....

When Ariel Sharon gave away Gaza in 2005 under pressures from the world and especially from our (USA's) foot in the back, this was the terrorist reaction:

Arutz-Sheva.com reported: "Jubilant Terrorist Groups Celebrate Israeli Retreat. Terrorist groups are all celebrating the implementation of the Disengagement Plan, insisting that their terror attacks brought about the Israeli retreat and will bring about additional pullbacks.
…Islamic Jihad terrorist organization chief says Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza stems directly from Palestinian terrorism—and that more of the same can be expected all over Israel. “We will intensify the attacks even within the Green Line,” Shalah told Al Manar TV…He said, however, that the attacks would resume only, after Israel had completed destroying all the Jewish communities in Gaza and north Shomron. He said that terrorism is the only way to “liberate Palestinian land” from Israel.
At a rally in Gaza…another leading Islamic Jihad terrorist said, “The Israelis understand only force. Because of our force, Israel ran away from Lebanon, and because of our force we are succeeding in getting rid of Israel from the Gaza Strip. There is no room here for the State of Israel. We are continuing forward until our dream is fulfilled…Without the Kassams (rockets fired upon Gush Katif) Israel would not have thought of leaving.”
Hamas leader Khaled Meshai stated (as reported by Arutz Sheva Aug. 16, ’05), “Israel’s pullout from Gaza is the beginning of the end of the Zionist project in the region. It is a historic moment and a major turning point in the Israel-Arab conflict…the beginning of the end of Israel.”
The Palestinian Authority has adopted the slogan and plastered it on signs and tee-shirts, “Today—Gaza, Tomorrow—the West Bank and Jerusalem.”

Evidently the leadership in Israel feels this pull-out was so successful they are about to go it again!

PA: Israel Agrees to Destroy Jewish Towns, Starting in November

by Hillel Fendel
The Palestinian Authority's Maan news agency has published a copy, in Hebrew, of PM Olmert's agreement to expel tens of thousands of Jews and replace them with a Palestinian state.The report states that Israel has agreed to begin destroying Jewish towns in Judea and Samaria immediately following the US-sponsored international summit this coming November.

The PA claims that the document's eight points represent the principles of agreement between Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas, in anticipation of the upcoming Middle East summit.The document begins by stating that Israel and the PA are to immediately enter a process "that will lead to the formation of two states, Israel and Palestine, side by side," and are "to reach understandings of the type detailed below." The eight points upon which Olmert and Abbas undertake to agree are the following:


1. Israel will end the occupation of the West Bank within an agreed-upon time period. The retreat and the evacuation of the settlements will occur gradually and in several stages. Each area that is evacuated will be transferred to the Palestinian Authority, which will instill law and order there. The existence of a regime in Gaza that is willing to be part of the peace process will enable Israel to view Gaza and the West Bank as one political entity.


2. An unarmed Palestinian state will be established, whose permanent borders will be based on the pre-1967 borders. The precise border will reflect security, demographic and humanitarian needs. An exchange of territory will be enabled on a 1:1 basis, to preserve settlement blocs in Israeli hands and to guarantee Palestinian contiguity and economic development.


3. There will be two capitals in Jerusalem, that of Israel and that of Palestine, and they will be sovereign over the Jewish and Arab neighborhoods, respectively. The two municipalities will cooperate for the enhancement of the quality of life of all the residents.


4. Special arrangements will be emplaced to preserve free access to all the holy sites of the various religions. A special administration will be established to maintain the two nations' bonds with the holy sites in the Old City of Jerusalem.


5. Palestine will be recognized as the national home of the Palestinian nation, and Israel will be recognized as the national home of the Jewish nation.


6. A fair and agreed solution will be found for the problem of the Palestinian refugees, with consideration and recognition of the suffering that was caused to them, and with the understanding that the implementation of national self-definition will be the main aspect of the solution.


7. The two sides will declare their willingness to end the conflict and to act to increase public support for the agreement as much as possible. The two sides will act with all their force, together and separately, against any manifestation of violence and terrorism that is directed from the area of either state to the other.


8. The two sides see this agreement as a significant manifestation of the principles of the Arab League's peace initiative, and call upon the members of the League to take operative steps to bring about its full implementation. Similarly, the sides call upon the entities represented in the Quartet and international community to guarantee and help, in various ways, to promote and actualize this agreement.


The agreement ends with this paragraph:
A document based on principles of the above type must be reached before the international summit in November, must be presented during the summit, and must be anchored in international decisions after it. Immediately following the summit, parallel with the negotiations for a detailed agreement, Israel will begin withdrawing its forces and evacuating settlements from areas in the West Bank. Completion of the various stages of evacuation will be done parallel to the completion of the negotiations.
Clauses 3 and 4 indicate that Israel has agreed to give up the Temple Mount, Judaism's most sacred spot in the world, and allow an "administration" to determine when Jews would be allowed to visit or pray there.
Clauses 1 and 2 do not take into account the tremendous amount of Arab-held weaponry already present in Judea and Samaria, nor the anti-Israel violence emanating from Gaza that increased dramatically upon Israel's withdrawal in 2005.
Clause 6 leaves open the possibility that "Right of Return" refugees would be allowed to live in Israel.

Fortunately a sane voice cried out in the middle of this particular wilderness!

The immediate response of the Yesha Council (the body representing the Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria) was this: "Only a government that acts so totally wantonly would be able to suggest such an agreement, precisely on the day that dozens of its soldiers are wounded from a rocket fired from area we gave over to the Palestinians. The Yesha Council calls upon all those to whom Israel's security and welfare are of top priority to object to this calamitous process of Olmert. The Knesset Members must thwart this program, which means the division of Jerusalem, as well as Kassam rocket launchers to the outskirts of Kfar Saba and Ben Gurion International Airport."

-

Did you know that even today (2 years later!) the people of the destroyed town of Gush Katif are still living in poverty? The Government had promised that money and reparation was in place and new places would be built for them. They are still waiting.

How sad for this government that it doesn't know about it's God-given, Blessed land and the absolute suicide course they have set for themselves. I pray someone, a real leader, that knows the Word and understands God steps in quickly!

How sad for us as a nation that we seem to be supporting this. I don't. I pray we wake up and wake up soon, lest we be counted among the goats! Not a good position for a nation.

Here is link for a list of great Scriptures about the Judgement of the Nations and how we should treat Israel.

World Net Daily article......

This is a fantastic article from Joseph Farrah of WND.com. This is another great website for daily news without the world devil spin.

The article really shows how even Christian organizations can be deceived by the Palestine problem, the abominable so called "Road Map" to Peace" and the "Two-State Solution."

Christianity Today? Or Politics Today?
Posted: September 14, 20071:00 a.m. Eastern
Christianity Today has determined "what it means to love Israel."
"What it means is slicing it up geographically and turning over most of the historically Jewish lands to Israel's most bitter enemies – people sworn to eradicate the tiny Jewish presence in the Middle East.
In an editorial this month, the magazine came out with both barrels blazing in favor of a "two-state solution" that would turn over most, if not all, of Judea and Samaria and surely half of Jerusalem to the Palestinian Authority terrorists who are still, to this day, sworn to Israel's annihilation.
Like lukewarm spiritual and political moderates, Christianity Today tries to chart a middle course between "replacement theology," that suggests the modern rebirth of Israel has no biblical or prophetic significance, and "dispensationalists," who believe Jews have a God-given birthright to a land never claimed by any other people during an 1,800-year diaspora.
The magazine cautions evangelicals to learn how "to bless Israel and love it."
"True love is sometimes tough love that builds on God's unconditional love," the editorial states. "Genesis 12:3 is often misused as a warm affirmation of anything done for the expansion of Israel's influence or borders. But genuine love asks not only about the extent of Israel's land, but also about its national character."
The hard facts are these: Israel has not "expanded" in 40 years, since 1967, when its survival was threatened by calls for war and extermination by its Arab neighbors. Among the lands captured in that Six-Day War were Judea and Samaria and Gaza, lands previously occupied by two Arab nations that refused to accept a United Nations partition in 1948.
None of these lands was ever part of a nation called "Palestine." There had never been international cries to create a "Palestinian state" before 1967. Again, no such people or nation had ever before been proposed. Most of the Arabs living in those areas – and living there today – emigrated from other Arab countries to be a part of the economic prosperity stimulated by the return of the Jews.
Christianity Today claims to love the Jews. I just wonder. Do the magazine's editors also love the Arab peoples of the region? If so, why would they relegate them to a life of tyranny and oppression under the leadership of Mahmoud Abbas or Hamas? Do either one of those options truly represent self-determination for those Arabs?
I speak as an Arab-American Christian whose grandparents fled the dhimmi life of the Muslim-dominated Arab world. Is Christianity Today aware of the systematic eradication of Christians taking place with the Palestinian Authority, the precursor to the Palestinian state the magazine covets?
How on earth can Christians justify the rape, murder and persecution of fellow Christians in the Holy Land in the name of "Palestinian nationalism"? It defies common sense. One needs to have his head deeply buried in the desert sand not to comprehend the consequences of what is being proposed.
Gaza has already been purged of all Jews. Those calling for a two-state solution weren't at all alarmed by the demands of the Palestinian Authority that all Jews must leave its territory as a prerequisite for "peace."
How can Christians of any stripe – evangelical dispensationalists, Catholics or even replacement theology proponents – accept and promote this kind of ethnic cleansing? Don't they understand it will not stop with Jews? Most Christians have already fled the Palestinian Authority territory with the knowledge they are next.
Christianity Today says it longs for "a solution that provides a secure Jewish homeland and self-determination and prosperity for Palestinians."
Before Israel unilaterally and unwisely ceded control of territories to the Palestinian Authority, the Arabs living in those lands experienced unprecedented prosperity and freedom – a kind known nowhere else in the Arab world.
Since those lands were taken over by the terrorists, corruption has become rampant. The infrastructure has broken down. Joblessness is rampant. And the fleeting freedoms inhabitants once experienced are no more.
What is it about history and reality Christianity Today just doesn't understand?"



Indeed. As a nation we need to stand up for Israel and repent from this devilish blindness that we have somehow allowed into our homes, businesses, lands and thoughts. Let's be a blessing to Israel so we can be blessed! Amen!

Here's a great article from the latest Newsletter by David Brog

A Present for the Start of the New School Year- September 4, 2007

Summer is over and it's back to school. Not only here but in Israel, this week started with mothers dressing their children in new school clothes, packing their lunches, and nervously dropping them off at school.
But in the southern Israeli town of Sderot, the mothers were nervous about more than whether their children will make friends or drink their milk. Sderot is well within range of the Kassam rockets that Hamas and Islamic Jihad fire into Israel from Gaza on an almost weekly basis. During the summer, many mothers had threatened to keep their children home at the start of school because of fears that school buildings are inadequately protected.
In Israel paranoia is, too often, simply foresight. A rocket fired from Gaza on Monday morning landed in the courtyard between a day care center and an elementary school. Both buildings were full at the time -- yesterday was not a holiday in Israel. Yet miraculously no one was seriously injured in the attack. According to Sderot's police chief, the rocket hit a tree in its path, quite possibly preventing it from having a more deadly impact.
The terrorist group Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for firing this and six other missiles at Sderot yesterday. On their website, Islamic Jihad boasted that these missiles were "A present for the start of the new school year."
The barbarity of this comment is hardly surprising, yet it somehow still stings. Clearly, the people who wrote this were not shocked to learn that their missiles hit a school. They were not calling for inquiries into how the missiles could have strayed so far from military targets. They were, on the contrary, quite pleased with themselves.
But of course, hitting schools and other non-military targets is exactly what happens when you fire rockets indiscriminately into population centers. This is also exactly what happens when you blow yourself up in cafes and on buses. Killing innocents is the whole point. Terrorists derive their name from the fact that their goal and purpose is to strike terror into the heart of the general public. And if causing terror is your aim, then there is no better target than babies and school children.
CNN and the like would have us believe there is a "cycle of violence" in the Middle East. They would equate terror attacks such as this with the response from Israel and America to terror -- which is to stop the terrorists from perpetrating such attacks. Let this attack and the sick claim of responsibility that followed it serve as yet another clear reminder of the wide chasm which separates the terrorists from those who seek to defend us from them.
There is no moral equivalence here. There is only moral revulsion.

Whew!

Mr. Brog is also the author of "Standing with Israel" .

Book description from Amazon.com as follows for those of you that might be interested!

- "Many people do not understand or know how to explain Christian Zionism. Some question why evangelicals should support Israel. Based on theological and historical research, David Brog makes persuasive appeals to Christians to embrace Israel and to Jews to overcome their fears of Christian Zionists.

Focusing on a subject that has been covered by various national media, including the Wall Street Journal, 60 Minutes, and Nightline, Standing With Israel goes beyond politics to: • Profile leading Christian Zionists and detail the views and motives that drive their politics. • Spotlight Jews who have been at the forefront of forming a budding alliance with Israel’s Christian allies. • Explain why so many American Jews are deeply uncomfortable with this outpouring of Christian support."

Good stuff!

God bless!
