The US has been warned, and warned, and warned again
Administration officials in Washington are working around the clock to
facilitate the convening of an international conference on the Middle
East in Annapolis, Maryland next month.
The primary purpose of this gathering will be to sanction the severance
of Judea and Samaria from the rest of Israel’s national homeland, and
out of it create a new Arab state called Palestine.
Israel’s “eternal and indivisible capital” Jerusalem is also to be
divided.
On this score the international community is - without exception - in
agreement.
But all is not going well for chief conference-convener, US President
George W. Bush, and his point man, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
Ms. Rice has made numerous trips to the Middle East in recent months,
and plans another hop over in early November - just days after
completing her last shuttle.
She has grown increasingly desperate to nail down some form of joint
Israel-PLO agreement on which to base the conference so as to ensure it
achieves some form of “success” before it actually takes place.Thank
God the “Palestinians” who - as the by now classic saying goes, never
miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity - are unable to settle for
anything less than everything, which at least some Israelis understand
would constitute an agreement on the Jews’ part to commit suicide.
As a result, the most recent reports suggest the conference might not
take place after all.
This would spell a disaster for an administration that has pinned a
substantial chunk of its hopes for a legacy on the “achievement” of
creating Palestine.
This week the Israeli Ynetnews website reported that Rice is blaming
Iran for the unraveling of her plans, asserting (correctly) that Tehran
is working with Hamas to scupper the conference.
The gang of mullahs is “fanning flames in the region,” she says.
Actually, it could well be Rice who is fanning flames.
In the past two weeks, as she has pushed with all her God-given skills
towards birthing an illegitimate country whose creation will enormously
harm the security and survival prospects of the State of Israel, wild
fires have ravaged the West Coast of her homeland, forcing up to one
million people to flee their homes in what has become the biggest
peacetime evacuation of Americans in the history of the United States.
California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger Wednesday blamed the disaster
on the convergence of “three things … very dry areas, very hot weather
and then a lot of wind.”
It had made, he said, “the perfect storm for a fire.”
We’ve heard the phrase “perfect storm” before.
It was back in 1991, when President George Herbert Walker Bush and
Secretary of State James Baker coerced Israel into attending an
international Middle East peace conference in Madrid.
That gathering, which the US jointly sponsored with Russia, set in
motion the train whose journey is meant to culminate with the
establishment of a Palestinian state.
As final arrangements were being made and conference delegates began
heading for the Spanish capital, an extra-tropical low weather system
started playing havoc with the entire Eastern Atlantic Seaboard of the
United States.
So rare was the tempest, that the National Weather Service labeled it
“the perfect storm.”
The damages it caused totaled $1.5 billion. One place ravaged by the
storm was the Bush Family Compound in Kennebunkport, Maine. It suffered
windows blown out, water flooding in, and some structural damage as
well.
That 1991 storm was by no means the only disaster to strike America at
a time when its leaders were revealing their readiness to betray Israel
by putting the tiny Jewish homeland and its small population on the
altar for the “greater good” of the United States.
One particularly striking “coincidence” took place more recently, and
in terms of magnitude on every level exceeded anything that had gone
before.
What unfolded were two back-to-back situations, each one spanning eight
days. The second period began the day after the first eight days came
to an end.
On August 14, 2005, 14,000 Israeli soldiers and policemen moved into
the Gaza Strip and began to order, threaten, push, and then drive
thousands of Jews from their homes.
The “Disengagement,” as it was officially known, was carried out by the
Israeli government under the leadership of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.
Notwithstanding its antiseptic title, it was the vicious uprooting and
turning into refugees of men, women and children, and the wholesale
destruction of their communities, towns and villages.
It amounted to nothing less than the ethnic cleansing of one group of
people from a piece of territory in order to appease another group of
people who hated Jews and rejected their right to live there.
For eight days we watched, and many of us wept, until all the Jews were
gone. Hundreds of buses drove them out of Gaza and away. After they
left, police went from house to house, marking each one with a special
symbol to show that it had been checked, was empty, and could now be
demolished. Beautiful houses people had built with their own hands and
turned into homes filled with memories were bulldozed into piles of
ugly rubble. The action was cruel, heartless, criminal.
Sharon cannot be acquitted for what he ordered his forces to do - and
more than a few people believe he fell ill and succumbed to the coma
that imprisons him to this day because of his actions.
But the real blame for this atrocity lies squarely at the door of the
administration in Washington DC.
While paying a whole lot of lip service to plucky little independent
Israel, president after US president has sat in the White House and
directed a foreign policy in the Middle East that has slowly but surely
pushed Israel’s governments into surrendering their national patrimony
for empty promises of peace the Israelis KNOW will never be honored.
God, I believe, answered the crime of the hitnatkut in a way that was
breathtakingly obviously His doing.
On August 22 of that year, the Jews of Netzarim, the last of Gush
Katif’s 17 communities, were expelled. Their departure officially
marked the end of the 38-year-long Israeli presence in the Gaza Strip.
On the very next day, a hurricane began forming over the Bahamas from
where it would head directly for the United States. When it dissipated
on August 31, eight days after it began, at least 1,836 people had lost
their lives. More than $81 billion worth of damage had been done,
making Katrina the costliest natural disaster in American history.
Again, many people watched and wept at the tragic site of hundreds of
thousands of people being driven from their homes. Thousands of buses
took them out of New Orleans and away. Policemen went from house to
house, marking each one with a special symbol to show it had been
checked for bodies or occupants, and was now empty.
It was so obvious it was almost bizarre, the way CNN interspersed its
around-the-clock coverage of the evacuation from Louisiana with
programming announcements about follow-up reports on the Gaza
uprooting. We literally watched scenes of Israelis being made homeless
in accordance with the wishes of the American government following
scenes of Americans being made homeless by Katrina.
Many American Christians, among them some who lost their homes and all
their possessions, recognized in the monster hurricane God’s judgment
for what the US – as chief sponsor of the process that is robbing the
Jews of their land – was responsible for.
The California wildfires, which are slowly being brought under control
as I write this, began on October 20, two days after Secretary of State
Rice completed a four-day visit to the Middle East.
Bush and Rice are squeezing Israel into making more concessions to
please the Palestinian Arabs so that they will go to Annapolis next
month.
There the plans are meant to be formulated that will lead to the
uprooting of tens of thousands of Jews from their Judean and Samarian
homes, the destruction of their property, and the final and
irreversible handing over of that territory to the murderous and
antisemitic PLO.
As Washington pushes, California burns, and a million Americans have
had to flee their homes.
For the Bible believer who takes God at His Word when He promises to
deal severely with the nations that hurt His people, it’s legitimate to
ask:
Has God allowed the fires that have burned up 700 square miles of
American land as a warning to the Bush administration to stop pushing
Israel towards a peace that can bring no peace?
And if Rice goes ahead, turns the screws and forces Israel to the
negotiating table in Maryland, will something even more devastating
come upon the United States?
I am terribly afraid that it will.
If only Americans would understand how much their country has already
paid for pursuing its ethically bankrupt policies in the Middle East.
The policies are bankrupt because they are unjust; they are immoral;
they are wrong.
For decades, American and other world leaders have tried to force
Israel to pay to keep the Arabs happy. From Carter to Bush, they have
been willing to gamble with Israel’s existence, their chips pieces of
Israel’s land and the lives of Israel’s Jews.
Severe warnings have been sounded in the US about the consequences that
will befall the nation for dividing up God’s land. They have fallen on
deaf ears.
In January 2007, Christian Broadcasting Network owner Pat Robertson
told those watching his 700 Club the Lord had shown him that: “This is
the final year of the great demonstration of His grace to the world.”
“Evil people are going to try and do evil things to us and to others
during the last part of this year,” he said. They “will come after this
country and chaos will rule and the politicians will not have any
solutions for it.
“It’s going to happen … not nuclear but something like it. There will
be a mass killing, possibly millions of people. Major cities will be
damaged…”
Robertson slammed his country, which he said “pretends to be the
supporter of Israel, but our policies are pushing Israel toward
national suicide.”
As we watch the blaze devouring western America, are we viewing a
precursor to what the veteran broadcaster called a terrible “day of
wrath” that is poised to fall upon the United States?
