Withdrawal Pains: Where is the Outrage?

Delusion has never run so rampant. In spite of months of prayer and protest by Jews and Christians, more than 1,700 Israeli families are going to be forced off of 300 square miles of their God-given land (Gen. 17:8). So "judenrein" (free of Jews) does it have to be that even buried Jewish bodies will be exhumed from this area and buried elsewhere in Israel.

This is grievous for biblical reasons, but it also flies against the Bush policy on terror, and actually is but a giant reward for the terrorists. As the final hours tick away, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, and other terror factions even with the PA/PLO have promised to continue to terrorize Israelis even after the pull-out. And all of this thanks to the U.S., Great Britain, the U.N., the E.U., and Russia.

Great irony abounds here as well. Prime Minister Tony Blair has now cracked down on Islamic terror in the U.K. due to recent bombings, yet he is the chief cheerleader for establishing a terror nation in the heartland of Israel. What Blair calls "evil ideology" for the rest of the world, he is allowing to be the rule of the evacuated areas in Israel. While he rails against Islamofascism at home, he continues to insist that a new safe-haven be afforded them in parts of Israel. What should be obvious to all is as mysterious as Alice's Wonderland.

Strong delusion has taken over many including President George W. Bush, for he believes the answer to peace in the region (Israel/Middle East) and possibly the world rests on resolution of the conflict between Israeli and the mythical Palestinian. You can bet the terror thugs of the world are high-fiving one another for pulling off one of the biggest con jobs in modern history because they have never denied that they intend to drive Israel into the sea and take over the entire land. This is but a phase in their plan. It has never been taken out of the PA/PLO Charter. Mahmoud Abbas and others have been declaring "Jerusalem is next" for months.

In the Gaza Strip, 21 Israeli settlements are being dismantled by 45,000 armed Israeli soldiers and policemen coming against their own people. And while 1.3 million Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip and areas of Judea and Samaria may rejoice now, they will find their deplorable living conditions no better once the transition is completed. The root of the problem has not been removed: Corrupt, greedy leaders who care less about the plight of their people and only care about their own climb to power and wealth.

America will be directly affected as U.S. soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan are attacked by Palestinian terrorists. We will be scoffed at by our enemies because America appeased terror and caved in which is in sharp contrast to the U.S. war on terrorism. What is that? No negotiations, no concessions, just the destruction of terrorist regimes--except in Israel. The terror scenario around the world will get much more complicated because we have gone against our vow to hunt down the terrorists until all come to justice.

America, Tony Blair, the U.N., E.U., and others can take credit in the near future when all out war breaks out in the region due to the instability the disengagement has created. Since the hate-education will not change, more homicide attacks will take place, and not just in the Middle East. The world's terrorists will be emboldened, savoring their victory, laughing uproariously at the fools who allowed all of this to take place.

Either there is a total disconnect from reality or this is a set up for Zechariah 12 where all nations turn on Israel. We see in the battle of Gog and Magog (Ezekiel 38-39), she doesn't have a friend in the world to come to her aid.

It doesn't get any stranger. If you don't think we're in the last days, you need a reality check yourself. And where is the outrage? Why are only a few conservative writers on the Internet talking about the entire travesty? The media has descended on Israel by the thousands, but how many story angles will be accurate and how many will be sympathetic to Israel? She cleared malarial swamp lands and died by the tens of thousands in her short period of modern history to be a revived nation, not a carved up nation involved in a phased plan for her entire destruction. This was not God's plan for the Promised Land. It will likely prove to be the worst disaster ever made by a democracy.

Delusion characterizes the last days. Delusion is out of control, run amok, begging for people like you and me to set the record straight. See my Web site, olivetreeviews.org for additional news' items related to this.
