"RED ALERT!"


RED ALERT! AMERICAN COMBAT TROOPS IN NOW IN ISRAEL
 

Dear John and Doves,
As a daily reader and a rare contributor of the
Fivedoves, I felt an obligation and duty to tell you
about a FIRST HAND experience of an incident that
occurred yesterday here in Eretz Israel. This is not a
" word of mouth story" or a grapevine rumor; we
actually saw this - not 10 feet away from our own
eyes.
We were out in the Negev desert and as we approached
the mountain pass to the Wilderness of Zin, I noticed
what I first thought was  "a very long and bright
green snake" winding its way down another mountain
road. By the time that we arrived at the junction this
"long green snake" had become a huge combat army
convoy that was passing in front of our eyes not more
than 10 feet away.
At first I marveled at the bright flashy new uniforms
of the soldiers, their brand new weapons and huge
brand new transport humvees all in new bright green
forest camouflage that filed past us at the junction.
Mile after mile they slowly inched past us. Nobody
could enter the highway because of his or her
multitude.
Then I began to think, hey, what's going on? We
Israeli's, don't have flashy new equipment or uniforms
for our army and we cannot afford all the latest
gadgets of war. Then at closer scrutiny I noticed that
the soldiers wore the new "nazi" helmet of the
American combat soldier. I then noticed good ol'
American boys: blacks, whites, Puerto Ricans, sitting
in the humvees. I then looked at the nametags on the
trucks and humvees and sure enough they were IDF
(Israel Defense Force) numbers and letters. Ocassionly
an IDF jeep would pass us in the convoy; older sand
camouflage vehicles with real Israeli soldiers in the
jeeps. In other words this convoy was trying to hide
its real identity, but stuck out like the proverbial
sore thumb. This convoy contained an enormous number
of American soldiers and was carrying a very heavy
load and stretched for many miles across the desert.
They had no American Identity to the equipment, no
American symbols or names or emblems.
Maybe they are here to help with the disengagement,
we don't know. We have even heard rumors that German
policemen with war-horses (what a horrific irony if
this is true) would be employed to help remove the Jew
from their homes.
Pray for our tiny country here, we are in the middle
of a spiritual battle to actually lose the Jewish
homeland if Almighty God of our fathers does not
intervene.
We have lost Gaza and Gush Katif, we have lost Judea
and the Galilee, we are losing the Negev and now it
looks like all of the Eastern Jerusalem is being
planned to be returned to the arabs.
We are now surrounded by enemies. I think of the Psalm
3 of King David that even if  we are  surrounded by
10,000 of the enemy we will not be afraid, because God
is with us. WE all know the glorious end!

Shalom,
Brother David
