John,
I agree with you and Joseph Farrah completely, but God made promises to the
Jewish people that are irrevocable. Beware to all who try and thwart them.
God Bless,
Stephen

>===== Original Message From Revelation Files - John Terry

© May 15, 2006 The Revelation Files

Editor's Note:  Strong words from WND's chief editor, Joseph Farah,
regarding the Israeli government.  I too am baffled at this government's
willingness to pursue "peace at all cost" and to forsake the blood shed by
their ancestors (not too recently) to reclaim the land promised to them by
Jehovah God.  My mind turns to the Scripture, where is speaks of "seeking
peace.then sudden destruction comes".    I too fail to understand the
rationale of the current leadership of Israel (and the US for that matter)
to continue to negotiate with terrorists and to continue on the flawed hope
that giving away "land" will bring peace to the people of Israel.

All this does is allows the enemy a "next door" staging ground for continued
assaults against the descendents of Abraham.  The enemy has sought to wipe
out Israel from the face of the earth for thousands of years to thwart God's
plan of redemption and the soon coming return of Messiah to the earth.
Perilous times await not just Israel, but the world, as the Age of Grace
concludes and ushers in 7-year period known as the Great Tribulation.
>From all indications, this could be "just around the corner".

I give up on Israel

WASHINGTON -- I have a reputation as one of Israel's staunchest supporters.

That reputation is due to several factors:
* As an American journalist of Arabic heritage, I have done my best over the
last 20 years to shatter the myths surrounding the Arab-Israeli conflict
misperceptions based largely on effective lies, purposeful distortions and
relentless propaganda efforts by Arab and Muslim regimes and their
apologists among haters of America and Israel throughout the world.
* As a freedom-loving Christian American journalist who had the opportunity
to put my own boots on the ground in the Middle East, it is obvious that the
Arab and Muslim world is dominated by tyranny, fascism and anti-Semitism
hardly a world we should want to see expanded.
* As a journalist, I found that Israel was the only country in the Middle
East that respected the free press. This again became obvious recently to us
at WND when our own Jerusalem bureau chief, Aaron Klein, was prevented from
traveling to Syria because he is Jewish.
* The Jews, a people who have survived the deaths of many empires that tried
to destroy them including but not limited to the Egyptians, Romans,
Babylonians, Persians have only one homeland, Israel, continuously occupied
by them for 4,000 years and never a nation-state belonging to any others.

Yet, despite all this, I am through defending Israel at least the regime
currently in power in Jerusalem, this useless coalition seemingly hell-bent
on committing national suicide.

Next week, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, a man I once considered, like
his predecessor, Ariel Sharon, a reasonable, rational, level-headed defender
of his country, is set to visit Washington with his hand out.

He is asking for an initial commitment of up to $10 billion in direct U.S.
aid to implement his plan for national retreat, appeasement of the global
jihad and a new sellout of more than 200,000 Israeli civilians who have made
their homes in historically Jewish lands in Judea and Samaria at the behest
and recommendation of earlier Israeli governments.

Olmert is coming here to seek administration and congressional support for a
new round of "disengagement" this time from 90-95 percent of what we often
call "the West Bank" and even including large sections of the city of
Jerusalem, once regarded as the eternal capital of the Jewish people.

He does this fully knowing that last summer's evacuation of the Gaza Strip
has been an unmitigated disaster for the Jewish people, Western Civilization
and freedom in general, as the terrorists from Hamas kissing cousins of
Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida and Iran's Hezbollah organization now control the
territory and more than ever threaten the lives of Israeli citizens.

He does this fully knowing that Hamas is preparing to establish a
Taliban-like state through the Palestinian Authority including the new
territories ethnically cleansed of Jews.

He does this fully knowing that these newly abandoned lands will be, like
Gaza, used as terrorist staging grounds and forward operating bases that
will threaten not only Israel but neighboring Jordan and Lebanon as well
and, eventually, liberated Iraq.

So I'm through making excuses for Israel. I'm through trying to understand
the incomprehensible moves of a self-flagellating nation. I'm through trying
to point out the moral rightness of a state and a people who themselves fail
to discern right from wrong.

Like Jesus 2,000 years ago, I look at Jerusalem today and I weep.

I know I speak for many Jews and Christians throughout the world who see
Israel's surrender as a cowardly betrayal, a sign that the Jewish state puts
more faith in Washington and "international diplomacy" than in the God of
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Israel has made the mistake many times throughout history of turning away
from their God. Israel has made the mistake many times throughout history of
putting faith in kings and men over the promises of Heaven. Israel has made
the mistake many times throughout history of compromise with its ruthless
enemies who seek not only the destruction of the Jews but the oppression of
their own people.

Enough of "land for peace." It has never worked not in Israel's history, nor
in any other nation's history. Enough of retreat. Enough of unilateral
withdrawals. Enough of staged surrender. Enough of the appeasement with
evil. Enough of the madness.

Compromise with evil is evil. And that's what Israel is doing. As for me and
my house, I will not be a part of it. I will continue to serve the Lord and
pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

Once thing is for certain. That peace will not come under the leadership of
men like Ehud Olmert and Ariel Sharon. If the Israeli people want to
disengage, it should be from so-called "leaders" like this "leaders" in the
image, likeness and tradition of Neville Chamberlain.
