Is Annapolis a Betrayal, Delusion, or Bluff?

Is Annapolis a Betrayal, Delusion, or Bluff?
Editors note: We have posted  Jack Hooks articles here from time to time. Here is the latest one he sent to us. It is for your consideration.

Greetings my friends,

Like many of you who understand the 1948 return of the natural Jews to their God-given homeland to be the fulfillment of Bible prophecy which began the countdown of the "last" days, I am amazed, frustrated, and somewhat bewildered by the actions of President Bush and Secretary Rice at Annapolis last November.  For they continue to insist that a two state solution is the only path for peace between the Palestinians and Israel. 
Furthermore, I know that several well-known prophecy teachers have met with Bush and Rice over the years since 9/11, warning them that a nuclear World War III begins when Russia, Iran, and other Moslem nations invade Israel, causing one-fourth of mankind to perish.  Some of these teachers think America will be destroyed from coast to coast in this war or right before it, leaving Israel alone against the rest of the world.  The latest news from the nuclear armed Islamic Republic of Pakistan, the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, only proves that fear of a nuclear war is driving the policies of America and its allies. I have said and written many times over the years that the world will be brought to the brink of a nuclear nightmare becoming reality and then the infamous Antichrist will establish peace between the Islamic, Christian, and Jewish people.  

One of at least three things is happening here when Bush and Rice continue to offer an Islamic Palestinian state in the heart of Israel where all Jews, both living and dead, are to be "ethnically cleansed" from their land as they were in Gaza.  The hypocrisy of this is maddening when you hear Bush and Rice appealing to all ethnic groups in other war-torn nations to find ways to live and accept one another, and their differences, in the spirit of freedom and democracy. President Bush has declared that a comprehensive settlement is to be finalized by the end of 2008.; The next major summit or conference in this Annapolis process is to be held in Russia.  America’s cold war opponent for a generation, is now becoming a peacemaker.  What an astounding turn of events.

I have been writing for thirty years now that the day would come when Russia and America, the two "little horns" of Daniel’s prophecies, would bring an "ecumenical" peace to the nations that averts the horror of a nuclear World War III.    The first of three conclusions is that Bush and Rice have rejected the "literal" interpretation of the Jewish prophecies of World War III over Israel that was presented to them, and have secretly joined with the oil-rich Moslems in the dismantling, destruction, and betrayal of the Jewish state.  If this conclusion is correct they have determined that Israel as a "Jewish" state has caused the world too many problems and its very existence is a threat to their plans for a New World Order, or as some would interpret, the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.  To them, God’s land promises to the natural Jews in the Old Testament were given to the Gentiles when the Jews rejected Jesus Christ. 
The second conclusion is similar to the first in that Bush and Rice have become religiously delusional by thinking Moslems, Christians, and Jews can reform their own hearts and religions to join with others in producing an "Alliance of Civilizations" that establishes peace among all nations.  We all should know by now that it is impossible to remove the hate, pride, and self-exalting lusts that are in everyone’s heart at birth, which influence every decision we make in this life, even that which we think is right and good.  Only Jesus Christ has the power to give us new hearts that are free from the control of our sin nature.  All men can do apart from Jesus is soften or harden the intensity of the sin that is within us, that condemns mankind to an eternal Hell. 

Moreover, Annapolis was used to isolate and target Syria, Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas with Osama Bin Laden as the main proponents of radical Islam, thereby giving so-called "moderate" Islamic nations attending Annapolis a cover to join America in deterring or even destroying these deadly radicals.   This too would constitute a rejection of the Jewish prophecies in that Russia is not targeted for deterrence or destruction, but is invited to join in the alliance against the radicals.  This all means certain war with Iran and its friends unless the Iranian leadership is changed from within or the current regime change their minds, knowing they have no hope in defeating even an over-extended American military machine, so they decide to join the peace process.  Does that mean Iran’s hard-line President would take back his words to…"wipe Israel off the map"?  You would think so.  This monumental change of either leadership or attitude would even include their agreement with America and Israel for the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple next to the Dome of the Rock Mosque on the Temple Mount.  Wouldn’t that bring about rejoicing in this world as the threat of a nuclear war is finally over?  But is it really over or just treacherously postponed?  

The third conclusion is that Bush and Rice, having been warned by Christian prophecy teachers, agree with their outline of coming events in the Holy Land, and in conjunction with Jewish leaders decided to bluff and offer the Moslems "the moon" if they will only accept a tiny Israel as a "Jewish" state.  This would mean they have concluded Islam is incapable of ever reforming itself into accepting a Jewish state, because by doing so would be dishonoring and disobeying Allah and their prophet Mohammed.  Agreeing to and signing a temporary "hudna" or truce to re-group and re-arm is one thing for fundamentalist Moslems, but telling all the world they accept a permanent Jewish state in the land they consider their own is out of the question according to Bush and Rice.  But what if these Islamic leaders believe Allah allows them to lie and deal treacherously in order to seduce their Jewish enemies, then attack them later when their guard is down?
This bluff also means Bush and Rice are pre-empting the coming Russian/Islamic invasion (World War III) of Israel thinking this will hold back the establishment of the coming Antichrist, who they have been told will come from Islam or Europe, who is sympathetic to Islam and has a history of persecuting the Jewish people.  For when the Islamic states reject Bush’s unbelievably generous offer and blame it on Israel, and refuse to "sign" their names before all the cameras of the nations, more Islamic terrorism is sure to begin.  This will give Israel and America all the justification they need in the eyes of the world to once and for all take down the Islamic terror machine, and by force and regime change reform the Islamic religion and nation-states that refused to sign the Peace Covenant.

By striking Iran and Syria before they are ready with Russia to invade Israel, they think they are pre-empting and stopping World War III, which Bush has warned might happen if Iran is allowed to possess nuclear weapons.  Once again, what if Syria, Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas change their minds after consulting with Russia, and decide to join the peace process started at Annapolis?  How will Bush, Rice, Israel, and the prophecy teachers react if their bluff is called?

Whatever conclusion of the three is true or mixture thereof, there is coming soon to the Holy Land a Peace Covenant which will be signed by Syria, Iran, Russia, and many others, that allows for the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem.  The most important and powerful signature will be that of the last American President, and then many, including Jews, will "begin" to look at him as the Savior or Messiah of the nations.  Some in the Moslem world will look upon the Russian President as the Mahdi, the Islamic Messiah.  To all of them the Kingdom of Heaven has begun with the "spirits" of Jesus and Allah working together through the American and Russian presidents.  Know this, if this Peace Covenant is signed next year it will only take place if the Lord Jesus Christ has removed his restraining hand, allowing Satan and his fallen angels to establish their counterfeit Kingdom of Heaven.

Remember, the combined power of the precious blood and second coming of Jesus Christ is the "only" permanent solution to the deception, death, and destruction that men and governments inflict upon one another to the hideous delight of their fallen angel masters.  The God who created and loves you wants you to soften your heart and experience sorrow of a Godly kind that works repentance unto the salvation of your heart, mind, and body, 2 Corinthians 7:10.  He will replace your genuine sorrow with his joy by giving you a new heart full of his faith and truth!  He will live within you!  This is the heart of the New Testament teachings from which all things become new in our inner man.  Once this happens you will desire to obey the God of Israel because you love him, knowing that he first loved you and sent his Son to save you from your sins and the bondage of the fallen angels. 

This message of love and salvation is offered to President Bush and Secretary Rice as the Lord Jesus shed his blood for all people.  Therefore, it is wrong for any of us to "despise" or dishonor the civil leaders who are temporarily allowed by God to rule the nations.  We honor them as souls for whom Jesus died, but not the sinful and rebellious behavior they are carrying out among the nations.  The old saying…love the sinner and hate their sin…is something we all need to remember, don’t you think? 

When the conference at Annapolis was taking place I remembered an article I wrote almost three years ago that addressed this situation.  It is posted on our web site and was titled "Solomon is Calling, Part 2…Prophecy, Jews, and Terri Schiavo. 

Your eternal friend,

PMW Reports to Congress

Strengthening America’s Enemies:
The ideological allies of a future Palestinian state
by Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook

President George Bush arrives this week in Israel to further his promotion of a Palestinian state. Last month PMW director Itamar Marcus was invited to the US Congress by Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and Rep. Elliot Engel of the House Foreign Affairs Committee to release a report documenting the dangers to US interests of a Palestinian state with ideological alliances to many US enemies. "Strengthening America’s Enemies" The ideological allies of a future Palestinian state," now being released, concludes:
"There is overwhelming evidence that the contacts between the Palestinian Authority and the enemies of the United States are relations between allies who share a common ideological bond. Strikingly, hatred of the United States and disdain for the US role of world leadership are what unite them. Unless the Palestinian Authority demonstrates a major shift in ideology, a future Palestinian state will be firmly allied with North Korea, Syria, Cuba, Iran, Chavez’s Venezuela, and Hezbollah, the forces that are seen as threats to the US and which are linked to world terror…There is no reason to believe that were a Palestinian Fatah state created, and its dependency on the US reduced, it would then choose to embrace the US. Indeed, in all likelihood the ties with the enemy states would intensify."


SwissOutpost.com

Executive Summary
At the Annapolis Conference, the US initiated a peace process with the goal of creating a Palestinian state in Judea and Samaria (West Bank), headed by Mahmoud Abbas of the Fatah movement. This initiative is based on the assumption that the creation of a Fatah-based Palestinian state is in America’s interest and will encourage long-term peace in the Middle East. This report examines the assumptions upon which the new peace initiative is based.
 
Methodology
This report examines the current ideology and political allies of the Fatah government as expressed by Fatah leaders and in the Arabic-language Palestinian Authority (PA) media. Documents examined include contacts and statements by the Fatah political, academic and religious leadership, reporting, editorials and education in the Fatah-controlled PA daily newspapers, PA television and PA schoolbooks. The goal is to determine the likelihood that a potential Palestinian state would be an ally or adversary of the United States, and would support the US goal and policy of promoting world security and peace.
 
Findings
This report reveals that the Palestinian Authority-Fatah government of Mahmoud Abbas is allied with many states who see themselves as enemies of the US and whom the US sees as threatening US security and world peace. Significantly, the affinity that is felt for such geographically distant non-Muslim countries, such as North Korea, Cuba, and Chavez’s Venezuela is precisely because these states publicly challenge and express loathing for the US. The PA admires such organizations as Hezbullah, PA- Fatah heroes are master terrorists such as Imad Mughniyeh, killer of 241 American soldiers in Lebanon and the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 are celebrated almost every annual anniversary with a political cartoon in the official PA daily (see Part 1).
 
The US, on the other hand, is depicted by Fatah leaders, their controlled media and PA education with disdain and loathing. Language such as, "the greatest Satan in the world, America" [PA TV, March 3, 2008], by a Fatah legislator is routine.
 
Conclusion – Palestinian State will continue alignment with enemies of the US
There is overwhelming evidence that the contacts between the Palestinian Authority and the enemies of the United States are relations between allies who share a common ideological bond. Strikingly, hatred of the United States and disdain for the US role of world leadership are what unite them. Unless the Palestinian Authority demonstrates a major shift in ideology, a future Palestinian state will be firmly allied with North Korea, Syria, Cuba, Iran, Chavez’s Venezuela, and Hezbollah, the forces that are seen as threats to the US and which are linked to world terror.

Rebuilding the Waste Places

Rebuilding the Waste Places

By Dana G Smith… The Watchman

‘Upon recent news of Israel talking about giving up the Temple mount and other area’s’
‘Upon America pressuring Israel to give up more land to those who hate her’
‘Upon recent news of increased persecution of those who follow the Lord Our God’

I sat before the Lord and while grievous on the situations, the Lord spoke Saying:
"The Lord will rebuild the Waste Places"
I then took to scripture to find the Prophets word of the Lord on the matter, here it is:

Isaiah 51:3  For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
Isaiah 52:9  Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the LORD hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.
Isaiah 58:12  And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.

God has not forgotten Zion, he will rise against those who tear at her with sword and with fury.
Grievous Wolves have entered in to eat up my people Israel.
For Lo, the destroyer comes, he shall tear and rend.
Awaken O Israel, be alerted O Zion;
Stir Jerusalem, thy God cometh.
Let the Watchman declare it;
Let the Trumpet Sound:
For I come, even now do I stir.

Let the nations tremble.
Let the peoples understand this;
The Lord, even the God of all creation;
He comes, with sword and righteous fury.
To clean out the house of mine inheritance;
To reveal mine indignation against thee;
O harlot, see thy ways become undone;
Thy end is death, O Lady of the night.

Let them flee the sound;
Run from my fury;
Where will you go?
My arrows shall pierce thee fully;
For the righteous shall be delivered;
The wicked shall be put down;
And my kingdom will be established.

In thy midst, shall I come.
Look too, stand tall.
Let my inheritance look to me.
For I shall bring them out with;
Joy, Comfort, and Peace.
Thy God cometh O Zion;
Thy God ruleth O Jerusalem.

P.A. Celebrates Wedding of Murderer: PMW update

 

grim reaper

PA celebrates "wedding"

of murderer of Yeshiva students

by Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook

The official Palestinian Authority daily newspaper describes the murderer of eight yeshiva students in Jerusalem as a "groom" and his burial as his "wedding celebration." The story in Mahmoud Abbas’s Al Hayat Al Jadida goes on to evoke the neighborhood Jabal Mukbar’s "week of anticipation… preparing themselves for the wedding procession."

The term "wedding" is the expression commonly used in PA society, and in PA schoolbooks as well, to describe the death of Shahids - Martyrs for Allah. According to Islamic tradition, they will wed the 72 Dark- Eyed Maidens (Virgins) of Paradise.
The article then reports the "shocking news" for the "thousands who were waiting" that the Israeli Army had decided to force a pre-dawn burial to prevent community celebrations of the murders and the murderer. It bemoans the fact "that the groom was buried in the [early] morning without a celebration and without a wedding procession."
However, the PA daily vows that the wedding celebrations will continue:

"The wedding will not end this way… it will last three consecutive days in which [the town] al-Sawahra will welcome all of those who come to congratulate the groom and will hang his portrait embracing the nation’s flags."
Seeing the Martyr’s death as a wedding can be found throughout Palestinian society. Some examples:
New Palestinian Schoolbook:

"… I will not cry during this wedding, as our Arabness does not want us to cry over the Shahids."

[Arabic Language and the Science of Language, grade 12, p. 13 (2006)]
Mother of two killed terrorists, called "Shahids":

"We do not encourage our sons to die. We encourage them to Shahada [Martyrdom] for the homeland, for Allah.  We don’t say to the mothers of the Shahids: "We come to comfort you," rather we say: "We come to bless you on your son’s wedding, on your son’s Shahada. Congratulations to you on the Shahada." For us, the mourning is [a joyous] wedding.  We give out drinks, we give out sweets.  Praise to Allah, our mourning is a wedding."[PATV, Nov. 17, 2004]

  

The following is from the PA official daily, Al Hayat Al Jadida:
Headline: "Jerusalem groom, Abu-Dahim, [the murderer of 8 in the Mercaz Harav Yeshiva] leaves without his wedding procession
"The residents of the town Jabal Mukbar, were surprised by the sounds of loudspeakers blasting from the [mosque] minarets announcing that the Jerusalem groom, the Shahid, [Islamic Martyr] Ala’a Abu-Dahim [murderer of the 8 Yeshiva students] has gone without their participation in his wedding procession.
An entire week of anticipation, a house of mourning whose sanctity was violated, and soldiers deployed on every street, their military weapons infuriating everyone … nonetheless [the town of Jabl] al-Mukbar did not tire of the wait and kept its promise to the groom.
Every day, these past seven days, everyone was in a state of anticipation… preparing themselves for the wedding procession. At five o’clock in the morning the loudspeakers of the mosque minarets announced the shocking news to the thousands who were waiting, that the groom was buried in the morning without a celebration and without a wedding procession… frowning faces…expressing their sorrow for having been denied [the right] to participate in the groom’s procession and to accompany him to the town’s cemetery…
The occupation soldiers sneaked in hours before dawn and lead several adults to the cemetery, while preventing the rest of those who were present despite the darkness of the night, from participating, even preventing the press from participating… They wanted a quiet wedding without music, thinking that way Jerusalem would forget its groom… But the wedding will not end this way… it will last three consecutive days in which [the town] al-Sawahra will welcome all of those who come to congratulate the groom and will hang his portrait embracing the nation’s flags."

Israel, The Middle East Mess, and Arab’s

By Dana G Smith

We have seen what has amounted to a war. No doubt, when people want peace there is always someone around to make war. I am not talking about the Jews in Israel who bombed Beirut to beyond expectations this weekend. No, This mess has been around for many years. The problem came about when Muslims who expect the Mahdi to return and rule the world decided they needed to help. They do this by killing every Jew and Christian they can lay their hands on.

In America, we do have some Muslims that are both Muslim and American. They know what we are talking about. Yet, they do not subscribe to the kill philosophy of many terroist Muslims. These are the kind that surround Israel today. These killing machines we called Muslim terroists are just like the Japanese were in WW II. They had a radical devotion which led them to kill or be killed. This included Kamakazee attacks. These attacks are just like the single muslim blowing himself up for a place in heaven. The problem is, these misguided misfits will never make it to heaven that way. Their own hatred has blinded them to any truth. This includes Syria and Iran.

There will be no peace anywhere on earth. Not until the False Messiah, whom we call the ‘son of perdition’ shows up. Then he will do what no one has been able to do.  After a peace covenant with Israel, he will rule in absolute authority.  The problem will be, his reign will be short and he will lead the world to destruction in the end. We will never have any peace for a period of time until the Lord Jesus Christ comes in the clouds in glory. He will take over this world in person and in power. We call this the ‘Perousia’.

Until then, Muslims and others will kill and be killed. Along with them, there will be others who for one reason or anther will commit bloodshed. The period of time we live in will be one of unbelievable chao’s. That is why, if you really know Christ, by the Spirit of God, you can have peace. Along with that peace is salvation. True and real safety is only found in Christ.

Washington gets behind Israel Signs Israel preparing for larger invasion Lebanese PM blames US for ongoing fighting WMD hunt on in Lebanon Iran planning to strike Israel? While the international community continued efforts to come up with a suitable ceasefire, Israel Sunday pressed forward with its ground offensive in southern Lebanon with the intent of rooting out Hizb’allah as thoroughly as possible. The large contingent of Israeli forces on the ground in Lebanon managed to capture the Hizb’allah stronghold of Maroun al-Ras Sunday following nearly 48 hours of fierce fighting. The next major target the government is expected to approve is the Lebanese coastal city of Tyre, from which the bulk of Hizb’allah missile attacks on Haifa have originated.

‘Where is the shock and awe?’
 US disturbed by weak Israeli offensive

By Ryan Jones

Disturbed by weak Israeli offensive US defense analysts have expressed concern and disappointment over Israel’s failure to deal a crushing blow to Hizb’allah, reported World Tribune. They said the strategy of Israel’s aerial campaign appears to be to erode Hizb’allah’s capabilities, rather than shatter its command structure and end its ability to make war. Said one analyst: "There’s no shock and awe here. Hizb’allah has been hurt but has managed to continue." The analysts said Israel seems to be following the model of NATO’s bombing campaign against the regime of Serbian leader Slobodan Milosovic in 1999, which after 78 days resulted in Milosovic agreeing to a ceasefire and turning himself over to international prosecution

JNW HEADLINE NEWS Washington gets behind Israel Officials dismiss criticism of Jewish allies Senior United States officials Sunday came out strongly in support of Israel, as the international community continued to lambaste the Jewish state with accusations of employing "disproportionate force" and "collective punishment" in its military response to Hizb’allah aggression.

KAZAKHSTAN, HERE HE CAME

KAZAKHSTAN, HERE HE CAME by Barry Chamish

On July 10, Pres. Obama attends the final session of the G8 gathering in Rome and then meets the "ex"-Nazi pope Benedict XVI. There, a proclamation will be forthcoming, outlining the end of Israel. PM Netanyahu has been running around Paris and Rome trying to short-circuit the fateful event but to no avail. At this meeting, the world, EU, UN, Quartet, CFR…all the real decision makers, will give Israel the final ultimatum…Clear the "settlements," divide Jerusalem, because, if not, Israel will suffer the wrath of a total war; economic, financial, and finally, a military attack on the country. BY EVERYONE.
Preparing for the end, the Vatican’s highest ranking agent in Israel, Pres. Shimon Peres, opened a major religious gathering, though his only god dwells in the netherworld. Watch as he leads his people out of Judaism to the world below:

……….The two-day Congress of World and Traditional Religions will open Wednesday in the Kazakh capital. It is the third such congress hosted by Nazarbayev in Astana – previous ones were in 2003 and 2006 – and is part of a broader effort to position Kazakhstan as a meeting ground for discussing religious differences.

Both of Israel’s chief rabbis will be in attendance, alongside a cardinal who leads interfaith issues in the Vatican…

Expectations are high ahead of the meeting because among the confirmed guests are representatives of the ayatollahs’ regime in Teheran.

The impressive spectrum expected at the gathering is precisely what Nazarbayev has sought to create. It is an effort to make Kazakhstan’s unique religious openness – "a land without a drop of anti-Semitism," Peres called the country during the visit – a lever for influencing the region.

*

Carrying out their threat, the Iranian representatives staged a walkout
during President Shimon Peres’s keynote address at the interfaith conference
in Astana, Kazakhstan on Wednesday morning, refusing to return as long as
the Israeli leader spoke.

"We have come to listen to religious leaders," a member of the Iranian
delegation told The Jerusalem Post, "and Peres is not a religious leader."

When asked if he would speak to the attending Israeli chief rabbis or any of
the American rabbis present, Mehdi Mostafavi, an adviser to Iranian
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, said: "We’ll see."

Iranian representatives only discovered Monday the extent of Israeli
participation in the interfaith conference that began Wednesday in Astana,
including the keynote address to be delivered by Peres, The Jerusalem Post
learned.

While Mostafavi had told the Post at the conference that religion could be a
factor for peace, the Iranian delegation has been threatening to leave in
the middle of Peres’s speech.

Representatives of the host, Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev, were
insisting in discussions with the Iranians that a walkout on Peres would
amount to a walkout on Nazarbayev.

With 60 business figures and government officials in Peres’s entourage, this
is very much a working visit. But after the space technology agreement
signed Tuesday and agriculture, communications and construction projects
launched in high-level meetings, the visit will turn away from hard-nosed
business and diplomacy to what organizers hope will be the gentler
discussion about how religion can be brought to bear on the problems of the
region.

Both of Israel’s chief rabbis will be in attendance, alongside a cardinal
who leads interfaith issues in the Vatican.

"Israel needs a country like Kazakhstan. This is Islam you can live with,
Islam you can join with to advance human progress, Islam that respects other
peoples," Industry and Trade Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer told The
Jerusalem Post on Tuesday.

Ben-Eliezer is one of three cabinet ministers accompanying Peres on a
week long state visit to Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan, the first such visit by a
top Israeli leader.

The impressive spectrum expected at the gathering is precisely what
Nazarbayev has sought to create. It is an effort to make Kazakhstan’s unique
religious openness – "a land without a drop of anti-Semitism," Peres called
the country during the visit – a lever for influencing the region.

"Religions have a deep effect on politics," Peres said in a joint press
conference with Nazarbayev in Astana on Tuesday. "If they could be mobilized
to the cause of peace, that would have a very large impact on the political situation."

Now read about a strange and illegal new phenomena and how I fit in:

New Tel Aviv bar bans IDF soldiers in uniform, settlement products

A new vegan bar opened last week in Tel Aviv that bans Israel Defense Forces
soldiers in uniform and boycotts products made in West Bank settlements.

The Rogatka – "slingshot" – bar was opened by an "anarchist collective" who
once ran the Salon Mazal bar; it is located on Yitzhak Sadeh street in
central Tel Aviv.
The new ideologically-devoted bar will not seek to make a profit, and the
founders say they hope it will bring together left-wing activists,
environmentalists, and other fellow travelers, under the banner of cheap
drinks and fair trade products.

The bar’s ban on soldiers in uniform and the carrying of weapons, along with
its boycott on products made in the settlements, derive from what employees
see as the connection between all forms of oppression, from the slaughter of
animals to sexism to occupation.

And now, here is me. I was invited to speak at Cafe Mazal a few years ago. The place was jammed to the walls and windows and the lecture was photographed widely for the Israeli internet. Now obviously, I don’t support this kind of discrimination that would be like banning Blacks from a bar in Nigeria. The point is, I had an attentive and very large crowd on my evening there and they bought books and talked to me for hours after my speech ended.
This has been my professional life, though it’s not me personally. Both the far Left and Right respect my research, while deep hatred increases as I try to drift to the middle. And I have more personal proof just this week.
I was invited to a wedding that began with the groom’s family, or, the establishment in the midst of the middle. There I was slandered, despised and dismissed. Next came the wedding and the bride’s family, who, except for their belief in Israel’s self-defence, were the kind of folks that would would be right at home in the alternative thinking of Cafe Mazal. I had to bend over backwards to recover from the groom’s side of the marriage, but they knew my work, and were willing to listen to it, if not accept it outright.
It’s not easy being mostly right and being put in the position of having to prove it all the time. It wears on the personal nerves.
But if this is going to carry on, I need your help, all 3,100 of you on my newsgroup and many, many more who know me by my radio interviews and the websites who publish me.
I know times are tough, but in the past few months I have not been paid for my work. People are running out of cash, but I never exploit you. I have sent out over 120 free books and only some half have paid my expenses:

One of the members of this list is sending me endless copies of a very valuable book, The Vatican’s Holocaust by Avro Manhattan.
It tells the horrifying story of the worst religious holocaust of the 20th century. I asked him to send me a copy before I went to bat for it. I was astounded. 237 pages, filled with rare photos. And…It’s yours for free. The only cost will be postage, envelopes, gas to the post office, say $6 in the States. Overseas the postage will be higher but the book itself is free.

Send me your mailing address and I’ll get it to you. I’ve sent out almost 100 copies already, but, reminder, half have not paid the minimal costs. Be fair, I’m falling behind on this free offer.

Timeline of Israeli-Arab Peace Initiatives since 1977

Jan. 22, 2008: Israel Continues to Provide Humanitarian Aid and Electricity to Palestinians in Gaza: Despite the increased number of ongoing rocket and mortar fire from Palestinian terrorist groups in Gaza; over 4,000 missiles and rockets were fired since Israel unilaterally withdrew from Gaza in August 2005, the country continues to seek peace with the Palestinians. Israeli foreign minister Tzipi Livni said on Jan. 24, 2008 “The goal is to end the conflict between our two nations, our two peoples, by the creation or giving the answer to the national aspirations of the Palestinians by creating a Palestinian state. Just as Israel is homeland for the Jewish people, the Palestinian state is and should be by its own creation a homeland for the Palestinians.” [1]
Jan. 9-11, 2008: President George W. Bush Visit to Israel: President Bush embarked on a tour of a number of Middle East countries, starting with Israel. The purpose of the visit was to advance peace negotiations initiated at the Annapolis conference in Nov. 2007. Bush urged the Palestinian side to dismantle the terrorist infrastructure and also called on Israel to halt settlement construction and remove unauthorized settler outposts. [2]

Nov. 27, 2007: Annapolis Summit: Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas sign a joint statement in Annapolis, Md. to lay the groundwork for peace talks. The joint document delineates broad principles of agreements and commitments to peace and stipulates that both sides will establish steering committees, led by the heads of their delegations to the Annapolis talks, that will meet continuously starting Dec. 12, 2007. Both sides agree to meet on a bi-weekly basis and express hope to reach a final peace agreement by the end of 2008. [3] 

June 25, 2007: Sharm el-Sheikh Summit II: Olmert meets in Sharm el-Sheikh with Abbas, Mubarak and Jordan’s King Abdullah II. The leaders gather to discuss containment of Hamas in the Gaza Strip and to strengthen Abbas’ Fatah party in the West Bank. As a goodwill gesture, Olmert announces the Israeli government’s intention to release 250 Fatah prisoners who have ‘no blood on their hands’ and who pledge to renounce violence. [4] 

April 1, 2007: Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s acceptance of Arab Peace Initiative: In response to the March 28, 2007 Arab League Summit at Riyadh, Olmert welcomes the Arab Initiative, revised since its conception in 2002, and invites the Arab heads of state to a meeting in Israel to further discuss the initiative and collaborate on improving it. [5]

Aug. 15-Aug. 23, 2005: Gaza and West Bank Disengagement: In an effort to relieve the security threats against Israelis living in Gaza and to try to put the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks back on track, Israel unilaterally pulls all of its citizens out of the Gaza Strip and the northern West Bank. This dramatic move costs Israel approximately $2 billion, and includes the evacuation of all of the roughly 9,000 Israelis living in the affected areas in addition to exhuming and transferring all graves in Gaza to Israeli territory. On Sept. 12, 2005, the last Israel Defense Forces soldier departs the Gaza Strip, marking a historic step towards peace by Israel. [6]

Feb. 8, 2005: Sharm el-Sheikh Summit I: Sharon meets with PA President Abbas, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and King Abdullah of Jordan to announce the implementation of Israel’s disengagement from the Gaza Strip and parts of the West Bank. Abbas and Sharon agree upon a ceasefire. Sharon expresses his hope that the disengagement will foster a step forward in the Roadmap for Peace. [7]

Dec. 18, 2003: Fourth Herzliya Conference: At this conference, Prime Minister Sharon presents a plan for Israel’s unilateral disengagement from the Gaza Strip and northern Samaria in exchange for peace. The Israeli Cabinet approves the plan on June 6, 2004 and the Knesset (Israeli Parliament) approves it on Oct. 25, 2004. The disengagement plan, a major sacrifice for peace, calls for evacuating nearly 9,000 Israeli residents living in Gaza and the West Bank. Israel also proposes the disengagement plan in hopes of stimulating progress in the peace process on the Palestinian side. [8]

June 4, 2003: Peace Summit at Aqaba: Sharon and Abbas meet in Jordan to reaffirm their commitment to the Roadmap. Sharon promises withdrawal of Israeli troops from Palestinian areas, and Abbas pledges an end to the Intifada and the Palestinian culture of hate against Israel. The prospects of the summit are shattered Aug. 19, 2003, after Palestinian terrorists carry out a suicide bombing in Jerusalem. As a result, on Sept. 1, 2003 the Israeli Cabinet decides to wage war against Hamas and other terrorist groups, and halts the diplomatic process with the Palestinian Authority until it proves it is taking concrete measures to stop terrorism. [9]

Apr. 30, 2003: Roadmap for Peace: Based upon President Bush’s speech of June 24, 2002 and principles of the Oslo Accords, this plan is supervised by the Quartet: the United States, the European Union, the Russian Federation and the United Nations. It calls for serious alterations in the Palestinian government and results in the appointment of Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas. The Roadmap, which charts progress toward a final-status agreement through a series of benchmarks relating to security and political progress, is still the official blueprint towards peace between Israel and the Palestinians, with the Quartet meeting intermittently to track the progress of the plan. [10]

June 24, 2002: Bush’s Vision for the Middle East: In a Rose Garden Speech, President George W. Bush outlines a new plan for peace between Israel and the Palestinians, with the possibility of a sovereign Palestinian state established in the near future. This policy calls for new Palestinian leadership (specifically acknowledging the corruption and unwillingness to stop terrorism that characterized Arafat’s regime) and a reformulated democratic government for the Palestinians. The president also calls upon the Palestinians, as well as other Arab states supporting or tolerating terrorism, to cease those activities. The plan focuses mainly on the impediments to the peace process posed by the Palestinians since the Israelis had repeatedly offered and acted upon various concessions for peace, and on greater democratization throughout the Arab world. [11]

March 28, 2002: The Arab Peace Initiative: Leaders of Arab nations come together at the Beirut Summit, where Saudi Arabia proposes a plan for peace between Israel and the Palestinians. This plan is known as the Saudi Initiative, or the Arab Peace Initiative. The plan calls for Israel to withdraw completely to pre-1967 borders; supports the ‘right of return’ for all Palestinian refugees and their descendents; and the creation of a Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital. The Arab states in attendance pledge not to exercise military action to end the hostilities, and state that if Israel agrees to the aforementioned stipulations without modification, the Arab countries will in return consider the Arab-Israeli conflict to be over and normalize relations with Israel. Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres responds to the initiative on behalf of Israel, stating that Israel views the plan as encouraging, but that the agreement must be discussed directly with the Palestinians and that no accord can come to fruition unless terror activities are ceased, a condition not mentioned in the Arab Initiative. [12]

Jan. 22-27, 2001: Taba Conference: In the midst of the Second Intifada, and as a follow-up to the Camp David Summit, the Israelis and Palestinians meet for a final attempt to come to an agreement on a Palestinian state. Israel offers 94 percent of the West Bank in addition to Israeli land, culminating in an offer of 97 percent of the total land area requested by the Palestinians. The ‘right of return’ is also considered. However, the conference ends again in a standstill, and an Israeli-Palestinian Joint Statement is issued asserting that the two parties have never before been so close to an agreement and expressing hope for the future. [13]

July 11-25, 2000: Camp David Summit: To keep to the schedule set by the Sharm el-Sheikh Memorandum, Arafat and Barak meet with President Clinton at Camp David. In an effort to achieve peace once and for all, Barak offers a series of concessions including Israeli withdrawal from the entire Gaza Strip and 95 percent of the West Bank; the subsequent creation of an independent Palestinian state in the aforementioned areas; the dismantlement of all Israeli settlements in those areas given to the Palestinians; land compensation outside of the West Bank for settlements to remain under Israeli sovereignty; and Palestinian rule over East Jerusalem and most of the Old City (excluding the Jewish Quarter) and ‘religious sovereignty’ on the Temple Mount. In exchange, the agreement called for Arafat to declare an end to the conflict and a prohibition of future claims on Israeli land. Arafat rejects the proposal and makes no counter-offer. The summit ends in failure, but a Tri-Lateral Statement is issued delineating the principles of future talks. [14]

Sept. 4, 1999: Sharm el-Sheikh Memorandum: This memorandum addresses the delay in implementation of the Oslo Accords created by Palestinian non-compliance with security obligations and the subsequent Israeli refusal to redeploy troops in the face of a growing terror threat from Area A (which is under full Palestinian administrative and security control). At this time, Arafat and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak meet to reaffirm their commitment to the Oslo Peace Process and set a new deadline, Sept. 13, 2000, for the completion of peace talks. [15]

Oct. 23, 1998: Wye River Memorandum: U.S. President Bill Clinton hosts Netanyahu and Arafat to negotiate the details of implementation of Oslo II of 1995. The memorandum emphasizes the need for the Palestinian side to uphold its security obligations. In return, for each phase the Palestinians successfully complete, they are to receive a specified percentage of land (through measures such as Israeli troop deployments). [16]

Jan. 17, 1997: Protocol Concerning the Redeployment in Hebron: The redeployment of Israeli soldiers from Hebron, the last remaining Palestinian city under Israeli control, is orchestrated in the Hebron Agreement. The protocol is signed by Arafat and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This marks the first time Israel’s Likud party government has supported territorial withdrawal in the West Bank (also known as Judea and Samaria), until then widely considered a Labor party policy. [17]

Sept. 28, 1995: Oslo II: The Israeli-Palestinian Interim Agreement on the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, known as "Oslo II" or "Taba," broadens and supersedes the 1994 Gaza-Jericho Agreement. This agreement deals with many aspects of the transition to Palestinian autonomy, including how Israel will leave Palestinian-populated areas in the West Bank and Gaza; the provision for Palestinians to elect the newly established Palestinian Council; and the division of the area into three sections based on which group retains responsibility for security divided into Areas A, B and C. Israel also releases Palestinian prisoners as a sign of goodwill. [18]

Oct. 26, 1994: Israel-Jordan Peace Treaty: After a series of meetings, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Jordanian Prime Minister Abdul-Salam Majali sign the Israel-Jordan Peace Treaty. The basic provisions of the treaty delineate the international border; prohibit hostilities between the two nations; agree upon water usage from shared bodies of water; allow for freedom of movement between the two countries as well as access to religious sites within Jerusalem; and formally normalize all relations between Israel and Jordan. Diplomatic relations begin Nov. 27, 1994, and additional bilateral agreements are signed in the coming years in areas such as environment, trade and tourism. [19]

July 25, 1994: The Washington Declaration: King Hussein of Jordan and Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin meet publicly in Washington, D.C. for the first time and take important steps toward implementing a peace treaty. The official state of war between the two countries is ended; each nation agrees to follow U.N. Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338 to seek a total and lasting peace; and Israel acknowledges Jordan’s special role in the oversight of Muslim holy places within Jerusalem. The two leaders also focus on future economic cooperation between Israel and Jordan. [20]

May 4, 1994: Gaza-Jericho Agreement: In what is also known as the Cairo Agreement, Israel and the Palestinians outline Israel’s initial withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and Jericho, as well as the creation of the Palestinian Authority. Although Israel is removing all of its forces from these areas (and later from Palestinian cities in the West Bank), Yasser Arafat’s PA fails to meet the security conditions requiring it to crack down on terror groups such as Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. [21]

Sept. 14, 1993: Israel-Jordan Common Agenda: After almost two years of Madrid Conference-inspired bilateral talks between Israel and Jordan, the two nations sign the Common Agenda which outlines the impending peace treaty between the two countries. [22]

Sept. 13, 1993: The Oslo Accords: After secret negotiations between the Israelis and Palestinians in Oslo following the Madrid Peace Conference, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat shake hands and sign the "Declaration of Principles On Interim Self-Government Arrangements," better known as the Oslo Accords. The agreement calls for the transfer of power in the West Bank and Gaza Strip to the Palestinians, beginning with an interim phase, leading to self-government and elections among the Palestinians, and culminating with a final-status agreement in which a permanent Palestinian state will sign an end-of-conflict agreement with Israel. The negotiations phase of the Accords include Rabin and Arafat exchanging letters in which Arafat pledges that the PLO recognizes Israel and commits itself to peace, while Rabin states that Israel recognizes the PLO as a legitimate party in the negotiations for peace. The "land for peace" strategy is heavily employed in these accords.  The Oslo Accords are carried out through phased meetings. [23]

Oct. 30-Nov.1, 1991: Madrid Peace Conference: The United States and USSR co-host a conference in Spain to set the framework to negotiate peace between Israel and Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and the Palestinians, the first time direct and open peace talks are held between Israel and these four partners since 1949. The three-day conference sets in motion bilateral talks between Israel and each of its neighbors, as well as multilateral talks, about issues such as trade, resource development and conflict-prevention. Ultimately, however, no agreements develop from the Madrid process. [24]

May 14, 1989: Israel’s Peace Initiative: Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir and Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin announce a plan for peace, based on the Camp David Accords, consisting of four basic parts: strengthening peace with Egypt as a regional cornerstone; promoting full peaceful relations with the Arab states; improving refugee conditions through international efforts; and establishing interim self-rule for Palestinians, including Palestinian elections, during a five-year period leading to a "permanent solution." [25]

March 26, 1979: Israel-Egypt Peace Treaty: Israel and Egypt sign a treaty which calls for both nations to demilitarize the Sinai Peninsula; for Israel to withdraw to the pre-1967 border, giving up military bases, settlements, roads and the Sinai oil fields; and for Egypt to ‘normalize’ relations with Israel. Other Arab countries attack the agreement, and Sadat is assassinated by Muslim extremists in 1981. Nevertheless, the treaty holds. [26]

Sept. 17, 1978: The Camp David Accords: After 12 days of closed negotiations between the Israelis and Egyptians at Camp David, the two delegations sign the Camp David Accords. This is made up of two sections: the first creates a framework for autonomous rule by the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip; the second deals with the future of peace between Israel and Egypt, calling for a peace treaty to be agreed upon within three months that will include a full Israeli withdrawal from the Sinai. [27]

Nov. 19, 1977:  In response to an invitation by Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat becomes the first Arab leader to travel to Israel and discuss the prospects of peace between the two nations. [28]

News and Views From Israel

The mess in the middle east goes on. With Israel and the terroists fighting each other, many in the world watch. The questions for many Christians is "is this the sign of the end"?  As this unfolds, remember these same people who hate Israel, hate the USA, Great Britian and other nations who are not following the Islamic line.

Below are headlines from JerusalemNewswire

England: You could be next

‘Iran already has the missiles to reach London’ – Netanyahu

Former Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu warned the people of England Thursday that they, too, are in the firing line for missiles out of the Islamic Middle East.

COMMENTARY – JERUSALEM WATCHMAN
A war only God can win

Twenty-five days into the Jewish state’s battle against the Muslim militia in southern Lebanon, the number of Israeli dead is mounting, rockets continue to rain down in the north of the country, and little lasting progress is being made in the massive military effort to crush the enemy.

COMMENTARY – ZIONIST.COM
Terrorism: crime or act of war?

Much of the world is continuing to have trouble deciding if Islamic terrorism is a mere crime, or an act of war. This stems from the fact that while major terror groups usually have state sponsors, their actions are not carried out on behalf of any particular nation.

Hamas: Genocide of the Jews

Editors note: To kill, destroy, and wipe Israel off the map. That is the goal of these who we are talking about, violent Muslim extremists. The same people who want to destroy America. The bible says that "jerusalem will become a cup of trembling". That is what it is today. Also the bible says that "all nations will be gathered" around Jerusalem to destroy her and Israel…

Hamas Spokesman:
Genocide of Jews remains Hamas goal

by Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook

Introduction
As Hamas seeks international recognition by softening its tone in English, in Arabic it continues the calls for genocide of Jews. In a recent sermon on PA TV, Hamas spokesman Dr. Ismail Radwan made it clear that the classical Hamas ideology had not changed, including its continued incorporation of extremist Islamic beliefs into Hamas ideology and policy. He reiterated

. The Hour – the Islamic Resurrection and End of Time– is literally dependent on the killing of Jews by Muslims.
2. The remaining Jews will unsuccessfully attempt to hide, as the rocks and trees will expose them, calling out "there is a Jew behind me, kill him!"
3. "Palestine… will be liberated through the rifle," a euphemism meaning that Israel will be destroyed through violence.

The Hamas spokesman ended with prayers to Allah to "take" Israel and the USA.


The Palestinian Media Watch Site: http://www.pmw.org.il

in the light of prophecy banner

The following is the text of the Hamas spokesman’s call for genocide of Jews:


The Hamas spokesman, Dr. Ismail Radwan, PA TV, March 30, 2007 -

The Hour [Resurrection] will not take place until the Muslims fight the Jews and the Muslims kill them, and the rock and the tree will say: "Oh, Muslim, servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, kill him!"

We must remind our Arab and Muslim nation, its leaders and people, its scholars and students, remind them that Palestine and the Al Aqsa mosque will not be liberated through summits nor by international resolutions, but it will be liberated through the rifle. It will not be liberated through negotiations, but through the rifle, since this occupation knows no language but the language of force… O Allah, strengthen Islam and Muslims, and bring victory to your Jihad-fighting worshipers, in Palestine and everywhere… Allah take the oppressor Jews and Americans and their supporters!
