The USA (Mystery Babylon) is the leader of the Quartet in holding back and
hindering Israels ability to deal with her enemies.
 

Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The children of Israel and the children of
Judah were oppressed together: and all that took them captives held them
fast; they refused to let them go. (Jeremiah 50:33)

For Israel hath not been forsaken, nor Judah of his God, of the LORD of
hosts; though their land was filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel.
(Jeremiah 51:5)

Israel, Beware!
by Joel Katzman, Ph.D.
May 10, 2004

I understand that certain US diplomats and politicians, Colin Powell for
one, are giving Israel marching orders with respect to disputed territories,
sovereignty rights and rights to exercise its security needs (to the extent
required).

Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, the Left, those at the Center and those of the
Right had best be very careful about the demands from the US that they
become willing to fulfill. Sadly, there are forces in the US that
consciously support evil and there are those who support evil out of the
blindness of self-interest and fear. More and more, it appears that the US
is taking a more pro-Palestinian, a more pro-Arab and a more anti-Israel
approach to the Middle East conflict. The US Administration and others are
running scared; they have basically botched Iraq, and the war of terror is
more and more becoming an appeasement model of conflict resolution.

The US State Department, apparently, and with great arrogance, is
humiliating Israel by replacing the Israeli people and its government with
its dictates and "wisdom". With the Bush Administration's blessings, the US
State Department is pressing ahead with its revised and twisted version of
the Saudi Road Map -- Israel concedes to everything without a halt to
violence against Israel by the Palestinian Islamofacists and their cohorts
in crime, the rest of the Arab world. Mr. Sharon's concerns and points of
contention about the Road Map are impulsively being ignored by the likes of
Colin Powell and others in the Bush Administration and previous US
Administration hacks (Dennis Ross, etc.). US President George Bush is like a
"wounded animal" (Iraq is not going well, the humiliation of Iraqi
prisoners, and John Kerry almost in dead heat with Bush). Bush's "wounds"
appear to be affecting his judgment and this may very well make the Bush
Administration more dangerous to the security needs and sovereignty rights
of Israel.

The US is terribly humiliated and fearful, because Iraqi prisoners were mild
to moderately abused by US service personnel; yet the US appears to be
becoming less concerned about humiliating and putting Israelis at risk, than
it is about making sure that the Islamofacists and the Muslims of the world
feel comfortable and protected. This is no different than what US President
Roosevelt did when he refused safe haven in the US to Jews who were trying
to escape the Holocaust (at minimum, a boatload of some 900 escaping Jews
were not allowed asylum in the US and had to return to the warmth of Nazi
ovens). The US military machine refused to bomb Auschwitz, because it was
risky to their war effort. The US tried to appease and buddy-up to Hitler.
The US embraced land for peace deals (Oslo, Road Map, etc.) that were and
still are primarily advantageous to the Saudis, the Palestinians and the
rest of the Arab world; Israel's needs and rights appear to be less of a
concern.

I truly hope that I can be written off as being overly paranoid and
incapable of grasping the "holier than thou" and failed approach to peace
making so common to the diplomats of "evenhandedness" and their failed
land-for-peace arrangements. However, if I am not wrong, then Israeli
concessions will not be allowed to stop at even the 1967 borders, and
Israelis and many Jews may be unpleasantly surprised to find that the US,
along with other nations, and the UN, will push relentlessly to drive Israel
back to pre-1949 borders.

I wish I had a good answer on how to resolve this conflict of interest
(Israel's needs versus the needs of the US). All that I really do feel
securely about are what I see as some facts: 1) Israel probably has more
negotiating room with the US than it is willing to exercise; 2) It is an
election year in the US and Bush is scared, and therefore he will be more
willing to follow advisors that are less supportive of Israel; 3) History
repeats itself, and cowardice and appeasement can be counted on to become
major forces for conflict resolution; 4) Israel has become a "path of least
resistance" for securing the national interests of most of the other nations
of the world; and 5) Jews and Israel have been promised many things about
security before, only to find that when "push came to shove" the noble
"heroes" that made promises to Israel ran to their beds and pulled the
covers over their heads.

I am sure that I have not covered all the factors, but there is enough of
them here to suggest that Israel better not let itself be "painted into a
corner" that will render it vulnerable and helpless (by the way, this is the
way the world likes to see its Jews; sometimes Jews get a little help when
they are being decimated).

So, Mr. Sharon, those on the Left, those in the Center and those of the
Right (overly confident about appeasing the US) need to become more cautious
about US demands. They must "push the envelope" to its fullest to make sure
that Israel gets the best deal possible from a world that is morally
bankrupt. I truly believe that Israel and its leaders do not have to join
the US in its hysteria and the US' often-misguided efforts to combat
terrorism. Israel does not have to start singing "Yankee Doodle Dandy" and
allow itself to be pushed off the pier into the water.

Maranatha,
