Dear friends:

U.S. actions toward Israel seems to have reached the level of insanity.

1.  NEWS ITEM:  Billions for Saudi weapons.  The Bush administration is set to ask Congress for approval of a $20 billion arms package for Saudi Arabia and its neighbors that includes advanced satellite-guided bombs and new naval vessels.  Ostensibly, this is to allow Saudi Arabia to defend itself against the growing threat of Iran to dominate the region and take over all Middle East oil.  The threat is real, but does anyone have any doubt that the $20 billion in weaponry will eventually be used against Israel, as with all those arms we are giving to the Palestinians?  Will we never learn that it all goes to terrorists?  (Insanity.)

2.  NEWS ITEM:  U.S. moves closer to Arabs, further from Israel.  See article at http://www.jnewswire.com/article/2085 .  Excerpt below:

The United States of America Tuesday put its official stamp on the Saudi Arabian plan that calls for Israel's surrender for all time of the land returned to Jewish rule in 1967.  (Insanity.)

According to a report in Haaretz, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice wrote her signature alongside those of Egypt, Jordan and six Persian Gulf states endorsing the 2002 plan as a foundation for Middle East peace.  (Yeah, peace. Insanity.)

With the move, the Bush administration gave Israel yet another shove down the road towards completing its severance from its biblical heartland and the cradle of Jewish nationhood.  (Insanity.)

But God is in control.  Man is bringing wrath down on himself.  But all these events are a preparation for the return of Messiah Yeshua.
(Sanity!)
