'An Evil Thought'
by Jack Kinsella

UN Secretary General Kofi Annan's designate opened this year's General
Assembly by mentioning the genocide in the Sudan only peripherally in his
speech, before going on to name only one nation -- among all the nations
of the earth -- saying that nation was guilty of violating international
law through the "excessive use of force."

But it wasn't the Sudan, where as many as a million black African Sudanese
from the mostly-Christian south were slaughtered by militias backed by the
Islamic Republic of Sudan.  It wasn't Vietnam, where Christians are forced
to renounce their faith in Jesus on pain of imprisonment or death.

It wasn't China, where Christianity is strictly controlled by the state
and attending a private Bible study can result in decades of imprisonment
at hard labor making shirts for WalMart and shoes for Nike.

It wasn't Saudi Arabia, where conversion to Christianity is a crime
punishable by death and wearing Christian symbols can bring long prison
sentences, or where being a Jew is impossible and unthinkable.

The single nation most guilty of violating international laws concerning
the 'excessive use of force', said the General Secretary of the United
Nations during the opening session of the UN General Assembly --  said
body representing the assembled nations of the Planet Earth -- is Israel.

Then the delgates broke up into their various UN 'worshops' to begin
discussing the greatest crises facing Planet Earth today.  One, entitled
the 'South Africa Experience' studied ways to emulate the way  in which
the assembled nations of the world organized a boycott of South Africa
until it ended its policy of apatheid.

The workshop was aimed at organizing a similar 'cultural, sporting and
economic boycott' against Israel, which was discussed and itemized during
what was billed as the 'general public information phase'.

At the 'International Protection Workshop' the delegates debated, during a
section entitled, 'Pressure on Israel' ways to organize a world-wide
'boycott of Israeli goods' to protest Israel's self defense activities.

During this workshop, ostensibly organized to protect children, there was
no discussion of the use of children as weapons of war by the
Palestinians.  No mention of suicide bombers -- some as young as 13 --
being recruited in violation of dozens of UN directives aimed at keeping
children from being used as combatants.

The hypocrisy was staggering.

This week, Palestinian Observer Farouk Kaddoumi addressed the United
Nations.  Since there is no such country as 'Palestine' the UN hasn't been
able to find a way to admit the terrorist Palestinian Authority into the
UN as a full member --yet.

But Kaddoumi's 'Observer Status' includes the right to address the UN as
if the Palestinian Authority were actually a country.   He launched a
blistering tirade against the United States and Israel for conducting
anti-terrorist operations against members of the PA and Hamas.

UN delegates politely applauded as Kaddoumi thundered that Israel's claim
that it is acting in self-defense is a deception designed to cover up
Israeli genocide against the Palestinian people.

On the other hand, Palestinian terror attacks, he asserted to polite
applause, was the Palestinian Authority's only weapon of self-defense
against the aforementioned Israeli efforts to wipe them out.

Starting and the end and reading backwards, that makes sense.  But if the
Palestinians would stop their 'self-defensive' terror attacks against
Israel, the Israeli retaliatory strikes would end the 'genocide' and the
war would be over.

Regardless, Kaddoumi, who represents a terrorist organization masquerading
as a landless state, was able to characterize the only functioning
democracy in the entire Middle East as a 'rogue state' for responding
militarily to an unending series of terrorist attacks, without arousing a
single guffaw from the assembled audience.

The GA sat quietly while Kaddoumi accused Israel of obstructing a peace
settlement between them.  Completely rewriting contemporary history, he
told the GA;

"The Palestinian people and leadership have demonstrated good will and
accepted in good faith the provisions of the roadmap and other proposals
that lead to the termination of Israeli occupation of our Palestinian
territory," he said. "What is needed is the other party, Israel, to commit
itself in word and in action to respond."

What was ignored by all is the fact that as soon as Israel prepared to
pull out of Gaza, the Palestinians started lobbing Kassam rockets into
Israel in order to force them to stay.

The Palestinian Authority cannot afford to let Israel leave Gaza. If the
Palestinians don't have an 'occupation' to fight against, then they'd have
nothing to distract them from the misery and poverty being inflicted on
them by their leaders.

That might lead to real elections, a real leader, a real state and peace.
All these are anathema to terrorists.

The UN's delegates are not idiots.  They KNOW who the terrorist side is in
the Israeli-Arab conflict.  They are smart enough to figure out by
themselves that if the Palestinians stop attacking, Israel will stop
defending.  The war would end.

However, that would mean the survival of the Jewish State, which is, of
course, unacceptable to the majority of nations who make up the General
Assembly.

Anti-Semitism has been elevated to that of an acceptable political
worldview, much as it had been during the 1920's and 1930's.  That isn't
to say that anti-Semitism is resurging -- it never really waned -- it only
went underground for a time until global memories of the Holocaust faded.

Assessment:

Antisemitism is as old as the Bible.  It could be argued that the first
mention of anti-Semitism in Scripture was made in reference to the Fall of
Man, in which God told the serpent the Seed of woman would crush his head.
Jesus (a Jew) was that Seed.

God promised that the nation of Israel would never cease to exist.
(Jeremiah 31:35-36) God likened Israel's continued existence, down through
the ages, to the ordinances (laws) which govern the sunrise and sunset.
Satan has been trying to nullify that prophecy ever since.

The Jews are God's Chosen People, which makes some Christian denominations
so green with envy that they insist that, since the Cross, the Church is
the Chosen People and God has abandoned the Jews.

It is a good thing that is nonsense, given what the Jews were Chosen FOR.
To serve as God's Ensign to the heathen.

"And I will sanctify My great Name, which was profaned among the heathen,
which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know
that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you
before their eyes." (Ezekiel 36:23)

Broken down, Israel was chosen by God as the instrument through which He
would reveal Himself to the heathen nations.  He gave them a choice.  If
Israel obeyed His commandments and walked in His statutes, Israel would be
blessed above nations, so that all the nations of the world would witness
that blessing and "know I am the Lord."

Conversely, if they failed to obey, they would be cursed with a curse of
such obviously Divine Design, the heathen would witness that curse and
"know I am the Lord."

For multiplied centuries, the Jew was cursed in every land where he took
up residence.  Every place he took up residence, he was eventually offered
the choice between conversion or expulsion or death.  In some countries,
merely being a Jew was enough to warrant persecution.

In the eyes of the world,  the LAST thing anybody in the right mind would
want to be was a Jew. Yet the Jewish race survived intact, a 'peculiar
people' scattered among the heathen.

The Jew was never fully a citizen of his country of birth -- German Jews
were Jews, not Germans.  The same of Russian Jews,  French Jews, Italian
Jews, even American Jews bear the appellation 'Jew' and not just American.

A Pentagon staffer was recently accused of passing secrets to Israel.  The
man was an American.  But he was also Jewish.  Had he been Irish-Catholic,
we'd have never known his religion.

But being a Jew isn't a religion, it's a nationality.  It has been a
nationality for more than two thousand years. Without nation, land or
flag, scattered into tiny pockets across the far flung globe, the Jew
never abandoned his status as a member of God's Chosen people.

When the State of Israel raised its flag, its citizens arrived with a
common language, common culture, common dietary laws and traditions and a
common religion.  They arrived from every country on earth,  but every
single one of them were Jews who had awaited that moment for two thousand
plus years.

God promised that, in the last days, He would partially lift the curse,
and would restore them as a nation, 'but there was no breath in them'.
(Ezekiel 37:8)

They have been restored nationally as part of an ongoing fulfillment to
eventually restore them to full reconciliation with God.

Having cursed, scattered, and then restored them, in full view of the
heathen, the heathen nations will be without excuse. THAT is what the
Chosen People were chosen For.

The Bible also says that, once Israel has been restored nationally,
anti-Semitism will again raise its ugly head, ("It shall also come to
pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou
shalt think an evil thought: [Ezekiel 38:10] ),  which will provide the
motive for one last invasion effort aimed at the destruction of Israel, in
which God hands Israel an impossible victory:

"Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in
the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD."
(Ezekiel 38:23)

The 'evil thought' that brings all this about is the current topic of
discussion at the United Nations General Assembly.

"And when these things BEGIN to come to pass, then look up, and lift up
your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh." (Luke 21:28)
