Things that will refocus the world back to Israel and Jerusalem till He comes back.

Fair use:

Backed by Fatah´s formidable machine, Abbas was nearly assured of victory well before the vote when his toughest competition, jailed uprising leader Marwan Barghouti, pulled out and the largest opposition group, Hamas, declared a boycott.

FU&FW:

DEBKAfile’s intelligence sources report real exit figures estimated in Washington and Jerusalem as 49-52% win for Abbas, 30-32% for runner-up Barghouti and no more than 45-48% turnout rather than 65%, largest proportion of which cast in two hours added to end of balloting to pump up figures. Barghouti claims to emerge as head of second largest Palestinian faction after Fatah and before Hamas.

Orderly vote count broke down, some ballot boxes never counted or reached Ramallah central election center. Final results will be announced Monday.

Iraq`s interior minister Falah Hassan Naqib gets brushoff from Arab colleagues in Tunis


Moderate Arab leaders aimed a damaging broadside at key US-sponsored election ventures, the more painful for its timing in the month when ballots were scheduled both in the Palestinian Authority and Iraq. It was fired inconspicuously by 21 Arab interior ministers gathered in Tunis last week and acted as a rude snub to the Bush administration’s diplomatic efforts to recruit Arab friends for help in bringing reluctant Iraqi Sunni voters to the January 30 poll.

Present at the conference from Sunday to Wednesday, January 2-5, in addition to the ministers, were Middle East and Persian Gulf chiefs of intelligence, police and domestic security in the Middle East and Persian Gulf, as well as outside counter-terror experts, including Americans.

DEBKAfile’s Washington sources report that, ahead of the event, Saudi and Egyptian governments promised Washington and Baghdad to initiate motions expressly condemning Iraqi terrorism and throwing a supportive mantle over the two January elections. What happened in Tunis left the Americans astonished and outraged by what they saw as a betrayal by their purported Arab friends. The key resolution said: “Arab interior ministers condemned all terrorist acts in Iraq targeting Iraqi security agents and the Iraqi police, as well as businesses and public, economic, humanitarian and religious institutions.” There was not a single cross word for the acts of violence against American troops or coalition allies.

This omission went down with Bush administration officials as not far short of a pan-Arab license to kill non-Iraqis, namely Americans and its allied forces.

Sunday, January 9, US embassy officials met with Iraqi’s supreme Muslim Council to ask them to revoke the order to Sunnis to boycott the election. The clerics offered to grant this wish on condition that the United States set a date for its departure from Iraq.

Adding fuel to the fire, Saudi interior minister Prince Nayef called a news conference after the event to pull out the old chestnut of another intractable conflict: “The Palestinians are not engaged in a war of terror,” he said, “but self-defense.”

This absolution for Palestinian terrorism could not have come at a worst time for American plans. An end to the Palestinian terror campaign against Israel is the key to a return to the peace map and the success of Mahmoud Abbas, whose election as Arafat’s successor, was expected Sunday, January 9, in negotiating a path to Palestinian statehood. Authoritative endorsement of Palestinian violence from a purportedly pro-American, moderate Arab League leader put the lid on the already faint prospect of the new Palestinian leader dealing with the violence.

Iraqi interim interior minister Falah Hassan Naqib tried reminding Prince Nayef and Egyptian foreign minister Habib al-Adli of their commitment. He was brushed aside. The independent draft he tabled denouncing terrorist attacks on US and allied forces was vetoed.

DEBKAfile’s Washington sources add that the administration views the performance of its Arab friends at Tunis as one of the most painful contretemps it has suffered in the war on global terror and a grave setback to its aspirations to lead the Middle East to stable democratic government, starting with the Palestinians and moving on to Iraq. President Bush and vice president Dick Cheney are reported fuming as never before, their ire directed at Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, the powerful Saudi interior minister and the Egyptian foreign minister. They are now trying to find out in Riyadh if Nayef acted with or without approval from Crown Prince Abdullah in spearheading with Adli an Arab League measure that adds up to the virtual legalization of terrorist acts that are not directed against fellow Arabs.

This pan-Arab seal of legitimacy extends well beyond the bruising day-to-day conflicts to the dangerous erosion of authority developing in the three terror-bound arenas struggling for stability: Afghanistan, Iraq and the Palestinian Authority.

In those places, two-headed power bases are emerging. The US-approved central governments, which are too feeble to come to grips with the terrorists, and the hostile paramilitary forces which have dug their claws into the country and control it by violence.

The pattern of this emerging mortal symbiosis varies according to local conditions:

Afghanistan: Elected president Hamid Karzai rules sections of the capital Kabul. The rest of the country is largely in the grip of tribal leaders and paramilitary militias who are in semi-overt league with Taliban and al Qaeda elements.

Iraq: Prime minister Iyad Allawi lacks the military muscle or even the prospect of a local army capable of fighting hostile guerrilla and terrorist enemies and asserting control of Iraq. His regime is completely dependent on US, British and other coalition armies and will remain so for the foreseeable future.

Neither the interim government in Baghdad nor the Americans can guarantee elections will take place in all of Iraq’s 18 provinces. Therefore, the prime minister and the Americans have engaged Sunni leaders in exile in covert negotiations, among them guerrilla chiefs, to get them to lift their boycott against the January 30 vote. These talks do not even begin to reach the point of demanding a halt of the attacks. If anything, their effect is to exacerbate the violence besetting Iraq and prejudice the election. Wooing the insurgents’ Sunni supporters rewards them with legitimacy and correspondingly reduces their incentive for coming to terms with elected government. Hence, the negative response from the supreme Muslim council of Iraq to the American bid to waive the voting prohibition.

Terrorism will therefore most probably persist after the elections too. The effect of pan-Arab endorsement for the Sunni opponents of the regime will be to harden and radicalize their resistance to central government and their refusal to enter into any accommodation.

The Arab League ministers in Tunis put paid to any hope US diplomats might have entertained of mobilizing even a partial Sunni vote.

The Palestinian Authority: It did not take Washington, Jerusalem or European governments long to discover that Mahmoud Abbas, aka Abu Mazen, is not made of the stuff needed to take on the Hamas and al Aqsa Brigades terrorists or impose a drastic reform program on the corrupt, shambolic Palestinian administration.

Fatah, Tanzim, al Aqsa Brigades and Hamas tacticians know him much longer as the late Yasser Arafat’s long-serving deputy. They opted for the reverse strategy to Iraqi insurgents; instead of boycott and assault, they enfolded Abu Mazen in a bear hug which binds him hand and foot, the while carrying on with their attacks on Israel undisturbed. His three weeks of campaigning saw the Fatah candidate ground down to acceptance of their ways.

As a result, whereas Iraqi insurgents do everything in their power to destroy the Allawi regime, Palestinian terrorists cherish Abu Mazen and will hold him to his pre-election promise to shield them from the “Zionist enemy.”

The Palestinian election is therefore expected by DEBKAfile’s counter-terror and Palestinian experts to produce the Palestinian version of the two-headed power-base: one head engaged in diplomatic bargaining with the Americans, the Europeans and, from time to time, the Israelis – after squeezing out concessions for every meeting; the second head, the Palestinians’ terrorist wing, will continue to strike Israel, egged on by an updated pan-Arab blessing from Tunis.

DEBKAfile’s Exclusive Washington and Middle East sources report:

Moderate Arabs throw Bush’s Middle East democracy drive in disarray. Egyptian and Saudi interior ministers, who direct counter-terror operations, sent supportive messages to Iraqi insurgents and Palestinian terrorists from Jan. 2-5 Arab League Tunis conference.

They condemned violence against Iraqis – but not Americans, defined Palestinian terror as “self-defense.”

Sunday, Iraq’s Supreme Muslim Council set a price for revoking the boycott on Sunni participation in Iraqi elections: US must announce date for exiting Iraq

"Anti-Semitism, the Church, and the Last Days"

Anti-Semitism, the Church, and the Last Days

With anti-Semitism continuing to rise throughout the world, the outlook for tiny Israel for the next year is, at best, bleak.

Increasingly, Israel is being portrayed as an aggressor and occupier of stolen lands -- and that criticism comes from Israel´s friends. Israel´s enemies are nowhere near so kind in their assessment.

According to Israel´s former Chief Rabbi, Meir Lau, anti-Semitism is on the rise in nearly every European country - expressed, among other ways, via extreme anti-Israel sentiments, cemetery desecration, and physical attacks on Jews.

Many Jewish families he had met said that they live in fear. "I´ve met parents who tell me that when they send their children to Bnei Akiva (a religious-Zionist youth movement) for evening activities they are in constant fear that something terrible will happen, G-d forbid, until they return.

"Once Jews had no choice but to live with anti-Semitism. Now they do."

Lau noted recent polls conducted throughout Europe that say the majority of Europeans consider Israel the "greatest danger to world peace in the world today."

Not the Arab countries that are dedicated to its annihilation, but Israel.

It is an equivalent absurdity to convicting an assault victim of assault and awarding the perpetrator a crime victim damage award for having scraped his knuckles on the victim´s teeth.

This can only happen to Jews.

The Germans gassed more than six million Jews during the Second World War, in camps throughout Europe, with the enthusiastic cooperation of many of the countries it occupied during the war.

But a recent poll conducted in Germany found that 62% of Germans are tired of hearing about the Holocaust and that 70% get angry when the subject comes up. Half of those in the German survey believe Israeli treatment of the Palestinians is similar to Nazi behavior towards the Jews during the war.

51 percent of respondents said that there is not much of a difference between what Israel is doing to the Palestinians today and what the Nazis did to the Jews during the Holocaust. The survey also found that 68 percent of Germans believe that Israel is waging a "war of extermination" against the Palestinians.

In a recent London Telegraph poll, Israel won first prize for being the country Britons would least like to visit. Israel swept the board, showing up among the five countries Britons identified as the worst place to live, the least democratic, the least friendly, the least beautiful and the least safe. Overall, the only place worse than Israel in all categories was Russia.

(In the category of ´least safe´, Israel came in second. The United States came in first.)

Less than half of Britons queried could identify the significance of Auschwitz. An Irish Nobel Peace Laureate compared Israel´s nuclear arsenal to Hitler´s gas chambers during a recent visit to the Jewish State.

There are just over a million Jews left in Europe, sixty years after the camps were liberated. Rabbi Lau said he expects that number to dwindle down to nothing.

"I see the end of the Diaspora of Jews in Europe," said Lau, himself a Holocaust survivor. He called on Israel "to prepare for a new phase of the spiritual and physical absorption of European Jewry before they consider emigrating to the Unites States or Australia."

"In the past months I´ve traveled to Austria, Britain, Switzerland, Belgium and the Netherlands, and I´m telling you there is no future for European Jewry," said Lau in a telephone interview with The Jerusalem Post.

Coming to America won´t necessarily protect Jews from anti-Semitism. Columbia University is investigating charges of anti-Semitism leveled against a number of its professors, including one who told students that the word ´Zion´ was Hebrew for ´penis´. (´Zion´ means ´signpost´).

Columbia´s Middle Eastern and Asian Languages and Cultures Department chairman, Hamid Dabashi, teaches that Israel is a racist state that does not have a right to exist.

He teaches American students that Israel does not represent the Jews and has called for a "one-state solution" to the Middle East conflict.

Palestinians have lost international support, he wrote in 2003, because Yasser Arafat has made too many concessions to Israel and has tried to suppress the intifada.

Students who object to such propaganda are shouted down by the prof, who questioned his portrayal of the Battle of Jenin as an Israeli ´massacre´.

According to witnesses, he shouted down one female student saying, "I will not have anyone sit through this class and deny Israeli atrocities. "

During his campaign, former presidential candidate Ralph Nader branded the Bush administration and the Republican majority in Congress as ´puppets of the Israeli government´, saying, "The days when the chief Israeli puppeteer comes to the United States and meets with the puppet in the White House and then proceeds to Capitol Hill, where he meets with hundreds of other puppets, should be replaced."

In Melbourne, Australia, a government-funded art exhibit displayed a large Star of David painted on a wall. Red text over the emblem of Israel reads:

"Since the creation of Israel in 1948. 200,000 Palestinians have been killed. 5,000,000 refugees have been created. 21,000 square kilometers of land has been annexed. 385 towns and villages have been destroyed. 300 billion military dollars have been spent. 100+ Wad’s have been manufactured. 65 UN resolutions have been ignored."

Anti-Semitism is also on the rise in Canada, which has some of the strongest hate-speech laws in North America. In Canada, one can be charged with hate-speech for saying homosexual conduct is wrong and violates God´s law, for example. The Bible itself qualifies as ´hate-literature.´

But Statistics Canada surveyed Canada´s 12 largest police forces and determined that ´most likely victims´ of hate crimes continue to be the Jews. Fully one quarter of all hate crimes investigated are anti-Semitic in nature.

Canadian Foreign Minister Bill Graham admitted in an interview with Canada´s ´Jewish News´ that, "Canada has had to confront the reality of disgraceful attacks on our Jewish community, including hateful graffiti, vandalism, the desecration of cemeteries and the firebombing of a Jewish elementary school," calling attacks against Jews and Jewish interests a growing ´trend´.

The Canadian government, as noted, vigorously prosecutes hate crimes. Yet, even in multilingual, multiculturalist, immigrant-friendly, ethnically diverse Canada, anti-Semitism is a GROWING trend.

And Kofi Annan´s top advisor, Lakhdar Brahimi, recently compared Ariel Sharon to "an assassin" and urged the Europeans to "increase their pressure on Israel."

Brahimi called Israel´s position on peace with the Palestinians "cynical and ridiculous" forcing Kofi Annan, through a spokesman, to ´distance himself´ from his top advisor.

In a non-statement that explained nothing, the UN spokesman said Brahimi was speaking in ´his personal capacity´ and that Annan´s views on the Middle East are ´well-known´.

Indeed they are. Annan is decidedly anti-Israel.

As noted in a previous issue of the Omega Letter, there isn´t a dime´s worth of difference between the new leader of the Palestinian people, Mahmoud Abbas, and their old leader, Yasser Arafat.

For all the flowery rhetoric about Abbas being a ´new hope´ for peace, the only hope he actually offers is that he isn´t Yasser Arafat.

Israel and the United States had long since refused to negotiate with Arafat. Since Abbas is the new guy, they have to negotiate with him until he proves himself as dedicated to terrorism as Arafat was.

So Israeli citizens can expect more of the same, but will have to endure it until both they and the United States are forced to reject Abbas as well.

Assessment:

The Bible says that eventually, control of the peace process will be wrested away from the United States, who will be replaced by a European leader that will come up with a satisfactory security guarantee for Israel and seemingly solve the Arab-Israeli conflict.

In that context, Javier Solana´s ´Euromed Project´ (see "Javier Solana, Europe´s Uber Fuhrer?" Omega Letter Volume 39: Issue: 7) intends to include Israel into a EU-Mediterranean ´free trade zone´ for the specific purpose of affording leverage over Israel in the peace process.

When Ariel Sharon objected to European ´interference´, Solana told the world, "We play a role, whether our good friend Mr. Shalom would like it or not."

Among the most remarkable prophecies in the Bible concerning Israel is the constant theme of anti-Semitism.

The prophet Hosea prophesied that the Jews would become ´wanderers among the nations.´ (Hosea 9:17), 2,000 years before Shakespeare coined the phrase ´wandering Jew´.

"Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us. Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people." (Psalms 44:14-15)

God told Solomon, "But if ye shall at all turn from following Me, ye OR YOUR CHILDREN, and will not keep My commandments and My statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship them: Then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for My Name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all people:" (1st Kings 9:6-7)

Deuteronomy 28 is divided into blessings and curses. The blessings are conditional upon Israel keeping God´s commandments, and the curses are pronounced on Israel for violating them.

"And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone."

"And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind:"

"And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life:" (Deuteronomy 28:65-66)

The purpose for Israel´s cursing is not to punish Israel so much as to prove God to the Gentile nations.

"And at this house, which is high, every one that passeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land, and to this house? And they shall answer, Because they forsook the LORD their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have taken hold upon other gods, and have worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath the LORD brought upon them all this evil." (1 Kings 9:8-9)

The nation of Israel is called ´God´s Chosen People´ because God chose to reveal Himself to us through the Jews. God spoke to mankind through the Hebrew prophets. God chose to manifest Himself in the flesh as a Jew named Jesus Christ.

God chose His people to suffer affliction, so that we would realize that no nation could be so cursed apart from Divine sentence.

And God chose His people to serve as His ensign in the last days, to prove Himself to the heathen by restoring them to their ancient land in the last days, as He promised.

The Jews are an unspeakable gift to the Gentiles, directly from God. The Church owes them a profound debt of gratitude.

Allow me to offer a profound challenge to conventional wisdom concerning Israel and her relationship to God, the Church, and Israel´s national salvation.

Were it not for the Jews, there would be no salvation for the Gentiles, neither would the Gentiles know a perceived need FOR salvation.

As Paul writes; "For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died." (Romans 7:9)

Without the Law, there would be no way to measure sin, and no need to seek redemption.

Paul, himself a Pharisee, explained a new ´mystery´ concerning Israel, writing:

"For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in." (Romans 11:25)

The ´mystery´ revealed by Paul is that God has deliberately blinded Israel to the true Identity of their Messiah so that the Church might have their chance to be adopted into God´s forever family.

Many in the Church resent Israel´s designation as God´s Chosen People, instead claiming that title was transferred to the Church.

They missed the ´mystery´ and instead, became ´wise in their own conceits.´

Paul notes that this blindness will continue through to the end of the age, at which time, Paul notes,

"And so all Israel SHALL BE SAVED: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:" (Romans 11:26)

God says of Israel´s national salvation: "For this is My covenant unto them, when I SHALL TAKE AWAY THEIR SINS."

Paul explains, "As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are BELOVED FOR THE FATHER´S SAKES. For the gifts and calling of God are WITHOUT REPENTANCE."

Note Paul´s next words carefully:

"For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: Even so have these [the Jews] also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy."

And here is the blockbuster passage: "For God hath concluded them ALL in unbelief, that He might have mercy upon ALL." (Romans 11:25-32)

When one considers these passages, it makes anti-Semitism all the more cruel when it comes from within Christianity.

Consider the actions of the Jews at the Crucifixion. What if they HAD accepted Jesus as Messiah? Would the Church Age have ever happened? Would YOU have had a chance to be eternally saved?

Clearly, the Crucifixion was part of God´s Plan, and as such, so were its participants. It HAD to happen, and it HAD to happen at the hands of the Jews who lived at that time and place.

So, also did twenty-five hundred years of anti-Semitism, pogroms, persecutions and unspeakable atrocities committed against Jews in the Name of God. Jesus knew that.

"They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service." (John 16:2)

At the Cross, looking down at those who were unwitting participants in a Divine Plan, He said, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do." (Luke 23:34)

Paul says that Christians are extended mercy and forgiveness BECAUSE of Israel´s unbelief, and that, in the last days, ALL Israel shall be saved as a consequence, that ´through your mercy they [the Jews] also may obtain mercy.´

Note the distinction. We are forgiven when we come TO the Cross, but Jesus forgave the Jews AT the Cross, by His own Sovereign Act of Divine Will, because they are "beloved for the Father´s sake".

Israel has suffered mightily on our behalf, so that we might have our opportunity to be saved. But God has not forgotten His people.

The Tribulation Period is the time of ´Jacob´s Trouble´. It is the time when God passes judgment on a Christ-rejecting world and uses the unrestrained global persecution of Israel to bring about the national salvation of Israel.

Since the Church is neither Christ-rejecting nor, by definition, in need of further salvation, the Church has no role to play during the Tribulation Period.

The Church´s role is to restrain the tide of evil until that time when "that Wicked shall be revealed" as part of God´s plan for Israel´s national redemption. Then comes the Rapture.

And after that, the Tribulation. And finally, the national redemption of Israel and the beginning of the Millennial Kingdom.

"And so all Israel SHALL BE SAVED . . . For this is My covenant unto THEM, when I SHALL TAKE AWAY THEIR SINS. . . For the gifts and calling of God are WITHOUT REPENTANCE."

Praise the Lord! Israel´s national redemption is at hand. So is the Rapture.

"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)

Re: Things that will refocus the world back to Israel and Jerusalem till He comes back.

Last week I spoke by telephone with a Polish journalist recently returned from the former Soviet republic of Ukraine. “I have to tell you that a closer look helped me to discern the process better,” he said, noting that the pro-Western candidate, Victor Yushchenko, “served in the KGB of the Soviet Union in a military camp on the Turkish-Soviet border (1975/76).” My Polish correspondent also noted that: “Yushchenko is surrounded by many people of Soviet thinking who block media access to him and do not want to be involved in any discussion.”

Sharansky realized that the warden of the KGB prison at Lefortovo was lying to him about the punishment cells. And this is not the only lie. It is not the only deception. Recent elections in Ukraine, like the 2004 elections in Georgia and Russia, were not as advertised: “I came back [from Ukraine] as a pessimist,” my Polish friend explained. “It seems to me that sweet grapes may become sour very soon.” Candidates are not always what they seem. Elections are not always free or fair. And yet, all too often the West is willing to accept sham democracy in place of the real thing. It is shameful, indeed, that the West believed Stalin’s lies in the 1930s. It is equally shameful when a former American president, like Jimmy Carter, declares that the aspiring communist tyrant of Venezuela was fairly elected. Now Carter heads the committee overseeing the January 9 Palestinian election, cynically placing the West’s stamp of approval on yet another candidate of dubious distinction, Mahmoud Abbas (a.k.a. Abu Mazen) – the newly elected president of the Palestinian Authority. Abbas does not favor freedom in the Western sense. He got his Ph.D. from a Soviet university. His doctoral dissertation was published as a book, subtitled “The Secret Relationship Between Nazism and Zionism.” It is a book that casts doubt on the claim that Jews were exterminated in Nazi gas chambers, putting the number of Jews killed by Hitler at less than a million.

Palestinian Missile Production in Full Swing in Ramallah




May 3, 2005
DEBKAfile Special Report

Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon has all the time in the world for a decision on the fate of the 10,000 Israelis to be uprooted from their homes and the disposition of the properties, farms and businesses they built there. After all, there are still three months to go before the Gaza Strip and northern West Bank are awarded to the Palestinians under his unilateral disengagement plan. Sharon called a special session of senior ministers in Jerusalem Tuesday, May 3, in order to get something decided. Finance minister Binyamin Netanyahu spoke out vehemently against handing evacuated Jewish homes pro bono to the Palestinians. Can you imagine terrorists flying victory flags and dancing on the roofs of the homes of Jewish families whom they bereaved and maimed? Better to tear them down first, he said. Vice prime minister Shimon Peres advised against demolitions and proposed turning the former Jewish towns into holiday homes for the Palestinians. Sharon put off deciding once again.

There is no doubt that the Arafat 1 holiday camp would be a splendid place for Palestinians terrorist commanders to enjoy the pools and lawns of the former Neve Dekalim while supervising at their ease the transfer of surface and anti-aircraft missiles and mortars smuggled in from Egypt to the Gaza Strip and thence to the West Bank. For, while Sharon is in no hurry to move forward, the Palestinians are racing ahead with rearmament plans for the next stage of their war against Israel. They are no longer satisfied with Gaza and Rafah for launching lethal projectiles against sparsely populated southern Israel; now, DEBKAfile’s military sources report, they have moved to Ramallah, the West Bank’s urban hub and the seat of Mahmoud Abbas’ Palestinian government. There, we learn, a chain of small factories are already making Qassam missile components. An assembly line turns out 3 to 5 complete missiles per week. According to our sources, a second row of workshops – also in Ramallah – was fitted out in the last month with assembly lines for mortars and shells.

This information, say DEBKAfile’s sources, was relayed by IDF, police and border guard officers in briefings to local Israeli security teams responsible for the Israeli towns and locations southwest of Ramallah and on the outskirts of Jerusalem: Beit Horon. Givat Zeev, Old Givon, New Givon, the Ofer prison camp for Palestinians and the southern section of Route 443 to Jerusalem.

Three disclosures were contained in the briefing:

1. Palestinian terror tacticians are keeping watch on the protective walls under construction along Route 443 which should be completed in a month. Before then, they will have enough Qassam missiles and mortars to bring the traffic on that vital highway to a halt. A similar offensive is ready for the Trans-Israeli Highway 6 in central Israel. It is being set up by the new Palestinian infrastructure building up in Qalqilya, Jenin and Tulkarm, in the northern West Bank.

2. Palestinian terror chiefs have opted for shooting rather than bombing attacks on Route 443. Israeli high court decisions limited the height of the security fence along the Beit Horon-Jerusalem section - over the objections of the IDF and Border Guard. Specially-trained Palestinians attackers will be able to shoot over the fence while Israeli troops in pursuit will be encumbered by the very fence meant to defend the road. In other words, the new fence will protect the Palestinians while preventing Israeli troops securing the road. This flaw was brought to the attention of senior security authorities but to no avail.

3. The Palestinian can be expected to fill the nights with sniper, missile and mortar fire from Ramallah, in the same way as they do against Israeli locations from the Gaza Strip today.

Witnesses traveling West Bank roads in the last few days report that IDF checkpoints are growing slack. They saw long convoys of waiting Palestinian trucks suddenly waved through without inspection. The terrorists are using this laxness to move their war materiel from one part of the West Bank to another.

The ministers who spent hours Tuesday discussing what to do with the Jewish towns to be evacuated in Gaza seem oblivious to the fact that the northern outskirts of Jerusalem and one of the two highways to the capital are under the eyes of a bustling new terrorist-cum-war production center in Ramallah - alongside the Palestinian Authority administration.

With the Sharon Disengagement Plan drawling closer the anxiety and worries of the Jewish people rises to a fervor pitch. Parents of IDF soldiers are beginning to understand the tremendous physiological effect it will have on their sons and daughters who will be called on to rip Jews from their homes not knowing to what level the violence will rise to in order to satisfy Ariel Sharon. Already young Jewish kids in the Gaza Strip are throwing rocks as IDF soldiers and calling them traitors.



I recently read a story of a Holocaust survivor whose grandson is in the IDF and he called him from Europe asking him if it is true that Jews will be forcing Jews out of their home in Israel. When the grandson told him yes it is true, the old man broke down in tears, asking how can this happen.



The one thing that seems to be certain is there will occur in this land such a ugly violent resistant to the Sharon Disengagement Plan that it may be that this country will never recover from the harm it will do to the Jewish people here and around the world. For even as you read this plans are being made to be sure the IDF or the Israeli Police will not have an easy time of it. It will not be only in the Gaza Strip and the four Jewish Settlements in the North of the country, but all over Israel. From the heart of Israel “Jerusalem” to the highways and byways across the country there will be disturbances and social unrest and possibly things could get so bad that even the economy will be damaged in such a way that it may never recover. It is my prayer and the prayers of many others that the Islamic enemies will not take advantage of this civil war to attack and destroy Israel.



For those of us who have studied the Prophetic Word of God for many years can easily say this or that. But it can be summarized briefly that the stage is being set for the evil one to bring about such a spiritual condition here in Israel that the Jews and others will be more than ready to accept the one who will appear to be the one who can bring peace and stop the insanity that is about to befall us all, and many will call him messiah.



The story doesn’t stop there for it is not only here in Israel but globally we will see total anarchy as the world’s economy has become dependant on Arab Oil and the Arab world is controlled by the Devil himself the one they call Allah. It is only a matter of when they will decide to pull the plug on the US and Europe. Their goal is to Islamize the entire world by force if necessary it is called global Jihad.



What I am about to say will not set will with most Christians but it is easy to see for anyone who has eyes to see. The most important event to the Arab Islamic world is the control of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount. This is the only place on planet earth the Devil will accept as his seat. It is from this place he will rule the world that means the US and all of Europe as well. Europe has already given over to the Islamic threat and within the next ten years will have such a hold that no Prime Minster or President will be able to resist them. As for the US it will only take one or two major terrorist attacks where thousands are murdered by these bloodthirsty Islamic devils for the Government to openly demand the destruction of Israel. The Bush administration has already agreed to this destruction by means of the Road Map. He is unable to openly declare his intentions at this time because most evangelical Christians in the US support Israel and their elected representatives in the Government knows that.



There are still things that must be accomplished in Israel and the main one is the completion of the re-gathering of the Jews from around the world. As I have written over the past few months, lost tribes have been located in different parts of the world and are slowly immigrating to Israel. European Jews are waking up that they have no future there and must make Aliyah. For God will bring them home either by the Fishermen or the Hunters, and I believe it is once again time for the Hunters.



And I must once again tell you that as this mass Aliyah begins the UN and the EU will do all they can to stop Jews from moving back to Israel for reasons of demographics. And the only way they will be able to arrive here is through the underground. This is why God has touched not only this messenger but many others to begin boat ministries to rescue Jews. But it seems He has put on us a responsibility to not only purchase the needed boat but to make arrangements for others, for to have a boat and have no plans would be worthless, so we must make plans to help them as well. This will all become clearer to many as time goes on.



At this time we are hurting for finances and I ask you once again to pray about your part in this ministry, if God is calling you to be a part of this ministry or any other who will be planning to rescue Jews, don’t hold back now, for time is very short.



Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, for our son Joel, and all the IDF soldiers. Pray for those who have come to fight the Islamic enemy. Pray for this Ministry and your part in it. Shalom, jerry golden

The Omega Letter Intelligence Digest
Vol: 44 Issue: 6 - Friday, May 06, 2005

Boiling Point . . .

Recently, the Bush administration approved an Israeli request for 100 laser-guided bombs capable of destroying underground bunkers.

There is no doubt in the administration´s mind exactly what the Israelis plan to do with these weapons.

Iran is getting too close to becoming a nuclear threat and the Bush administration is still too far away from a solution for the Israelis to sit on their hands.

The deal, valued at $30 million, would transfer 100 GBU-28s and associated equipment and services to Israel. The Pentagon notified Congress on April 26 that the GBU-28 bomb would include BLU-113A/B penetration warhead, WGU-36A/B guidance control unit, FMU-143H/B bomb fuse and BSG-92/B airfoil group guide.

The GBU-28, first deployed in the 1991 Gulf war, is designed to penetrate hardened command centers located deep underground.

The laser-guided GBU-28 weighs 5,000 pounds and uses a 4,400-pound penetrating warhead. During tests in the 1990s, the GBU-28 demonstrated a capability to penetrate more than 20 feet of concrete or 100 feet of earth.

The Israeli air force would use the GBU-28s on its F-15 aircraft fleet. Israel´s F-15I fleet, procured in the late 1990s, is reportedly capable of striking targets a thousand miles away.

It is worth noting that the Pentagon isn´t sending bombs from the existing US inventory, but said it would come from ´new procurement´. That is more significant than it sounds.

There have been a lot of improvements to both the GBU-28 and to bunker construction technology since the early 1990´s.

The Pentagon decision to procure the GBUs from ´new procurement´ means that the Israelis will have the full advantages of improvements made since -- presumably incorporating non-conventional capabilities, like what are often called mini-nukes.

If it comes to an airstrike, the Pentagon wants to make sure the Israelis get it done right the first time.

According to European diplomats furiously working towards some kind of diplomatic solution, talks with Iran are on the verge of collapse.

On Tuesday, Tehran accused the United States and other nations of "using a fear of nuclear weapons to deny peaceful nuclear technology to developing nations" in an effort to win support from non-aligned nations at the twice-per-decade Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Conference at the UN.

The conference to review the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty enters day five this morning. Like every other global effort sponsored by the UN in the 21st century, it has accomplished nothing, breaking down into squabbles between the ´have´ nations and the ´have-nots´.

As of this morning, the conference still hasn´t even finished working out its agenda.

Tehran continues to stall the global nuclear conference, hoping it will adjourn without addressing the nuclear-fuel cell issue until its next meeting in 2010.

While Israel continues to make its not-so-secret contingency plans for an airstrike against Iran, Syrian intelligence units have been quietly infiltrating Palestinian ´refugee´ camps inside Lebanon.

Syrian intelligence has worked closely with the Iranian-backed Hezbollah terrorist forces entrenched in the Bekaa Valley for a decade, shuttling Iranian military supplies from the Damascus airport to Hezbollah camps for the past decade.

Members of the Lebanese parliament say Syrian military officers began to transfer Syrian units from their headquarters in Beirut to Palestinian bases as soon as heavy pressure began for a withdrawal from Lebanon.

In 1982, the PFLP-GC established bases in Lebanon used largely for training and storage of Katyusha rockets, rocket-propelled grenades and light weapons. Neither Lebanese police nor army units have been permitted to enter the bases.

Assessment:

The threat posed to global security by a nuclear-armed Iran is just one of many emerging threats -- threats emerging so quickly that it is hard to catch a breath in between.

North Korea continues to openly conduct tests of its expanding arsenal of medium and long-range missiles, in defiance of international conventions.

Last year, a North Korean missile overshot Japan, demonstrating Pyongyang´s ability to strike the Japanese home islands. Last week, it tested a medium-range missile that it brought down sixty-five miles inside the Sea of Japan.

Word of that test came just days after a top U.S. military intelligence official told a U.S. Senate committee that North Korea has the ability to arm a missile with a nuclear weapon.

According to US intelligence, Pyongyang nuclear missile range includes Japan, most of Europe and the west coast of the United States. And Kim Jong Il is believed to be just crazy enough to order a launch.

Setting down the strategic overview of the situation is sobering, even terrifying. The simple facts are these:

Iran cannot be allowed to develop nuclear weapons. Period. And North Korea cannot be allowed to keep theirs. Period.

Iran will not back down to threats, and it has no intention of honoring any agreements arising out of a diplomatic ´solution´.

Tehran is betting that it can stall until it can announce it has a nuclear weapon, counting on the threat of a nuclear counter-strike to keep Israel and the United States at bay until it can develop a permanent nuclear deterrent that will make it virtually untouchable.

North Korea is counting on its successful missile tests to convince the West it already has such a deterrent.

The United Nations is powerless. It is hopelessly corrupt, has lost any serious credibility, and appears destined to join the League of Nations on the scrapheap of history.

The United States´ conventional military capabilities are stretched to the limit by the war on terror. Recruitment is down, weapons stockpiles depleted, and it remains vulnerable to a sneak EMP attack.

Iran recently tested a missile capable of detonating a nuclear warhead from low orbit. One detonated over the United States could throw the US, technologically, back to the 1880´s for months, if not years.

The Russians continue to cultivate dependent satellite states across the Islamic Middle East, while the Chinese are increasing their saber-rattling over Taiwan.

The European Union´s continued existence is threatened by an expected defeat of the proposed constitution by French, German and British voters, further destabilizing the global order.

At the center of the maelstrom is tiny Israel. A single decision from Jerusalem to launch against Iran´s nuclear facilities would be enough to set off the fuse.

Meanwhile, back in the States, the headlines are all about ´peace and safety´ as the Department of Homeland Security announces that the threat assessment level is lower than at any time in the past four years.

"But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape." (1st Thessalonians 5:1-3)

People get up in the mornings like they always do. They go to work, come home, plan their weekends, plan their vacations, contribute to their 401k plans, argue about the solvency of Social Security thirty years hence, in short, going about business as usual.

"And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all." (Luke 17:26-27)

But in the back of everybody´s mind is the question. Is this really it? Can it really be possible that these are the last days?

It is at least believable enough for TV executives to begin devoting whole television series plots to the possibility. A TV series like ´Revelations´ would never have gotten off the ground ten years ago.

Today, it is part of an emerging entertainment genre -- ´the antichrist is coming. . . the antichrist is coming . . . !´

Which reflects the seemingly nonchalant attitude by the world about the possibility that these really ARE the last days. They know . . but they really don´t believe it.

"Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of His coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation." 2nd Peter 3:3-4

As any long time reader of the Omega Letter has already noticed, the strategic global assessment as it exists, today, May 6, 2005, is a perfect match for the strategic global assessment outlined by Bible prophecy for the last days.

From the perspective of the natural, it is a dismal picture of impending chaos unlike anything the world has ever experienced. That pretty much sums up the way Jesus described the events that are clearly poised to unleash themselves upon the earth.

"For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be." (Matthew 24:21)

But to the true Church, what appears to be impending doom is evidence of impending redemption. "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)

It is evidence that God intends to keep His promises as outlined in Scripture, and among those promises is the one made by Jesus Christ to the Church.

"Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father´s house are many mansions: if IT WERE NOT SO, I WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I WILL come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." (John 14:1-3)

The Apostle Paul gives previously unrevealed details about how Jesus intends to receive the Church unto Himself, saying,

"Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality." (1st Corinthians 15:51-53)

"For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord." (1st Thessalonians 4:16-17)

The world is rapidly approaching the boiling point, and unless a way is found to release the pressure, the final scenario outlined by Scripture for the last days is exactly the same scenario outlined by any reasonable secular threat assessment.

If the Tribulation is that close, then the Rapture is even closer. So, go ahead. Bring it on.

We´re almost outta here!

"Wherefore comfort one another with these words." (1st Thessalonians 4:18)

"BETHLEHEM TORN BY MUSLIM, CHRISTIAN STRIFE"

Word From Y´erushalaim
Simantov Allalouf
uziel16@netvision.net.il


Jerusalem-Bethlehem Border

Amazingly the world media will rarely ever report the kinds of things that take place regularly in the PA areas. Public executions of people that co-operate with Israel is common place in the PA areas. As well as honor killings. Their only hope is Yeshua, please continue to hold up the arab people in Israel, they need to know the Lord.

BETHLEHEM TORN BY MUSLIM, CHRISTIAN STRIFE
Abduction of Girl Sparks Christian Protests

Sectarian tensions are boiling over in Bethlehem after members of a local Christian family accused a Muslim man of kidnapping their 16-year-old daughter.

The girl, who holds American citizenship, was rescued with the help of American diplomats over the weekend from a hideaway house belonging to a large Muslim clan in Hebron and flown with her mother to the United States.
The Jerusalem Post reports that at least 35 Christians have been injured by Palestinian Authority policemen during ensuing protests outside the Muslim abductor´s home in Bethlehem. PA police have disregarded Christian calls for his arrest and trial, saying the girl wanted to marry him and to convert to Islam.

Since the PA assumed control of Bethlehem in late 1995, the local Christian minority has complained of daughters being kidnapped and forced to marry Muslim men, and of Muslims and even PA officials stealing Christian lands, among other discriminatory practices that the PA routinely ignores.

Christian families are worried at the continuing Christian flight from Bethlehem and the deliberate targeting of Christian girls for Muslim marriages. "We have nothing against Muslims, but we are worried that we are becoming a tiny minority in the birthplace of Jesus," said a Christian businessman.

The incident in Bethlehem comes only days after a Christian man from Ramallah brutally murdered his 20-year-old daughter because she had expressed her desire to marry a Muslim - a shockingly rare case of Christian "honor killing." She was murdered on the same day that a Jerusalem Arab man strangled to death his two sisters in a similar incident.

"Fullness of the Gentiles"


The Omega Letter Intelligence Digest
Vol: 44 Issue: 12 - Thursday, May 12, 2005

"Fullness of the Gentiles"

By every measurable historical standard, the city of Jerusalem should have fallen into oblivion centuries ago. The city was destroyed in AD 70 by the Romans - and its founders and traditional inhabitants were killed or fled into exile in foreign lands.

It has no natural wealth. It has no coastline. It sits inconveniently upon a mountain. It overlooks nothing of strategic military value.

It is on no ancient trade route. The King´s Highway of David´s time ran north and south through modern Jordan. Jerusalem was well off the beaten path -- folks didn´t pass through Jerusalem on their way to somewhere else -- Jerusalem was the end of the line.

Like other historical ´end of the line´ cities, once its reason to exist was extinguished by the destruction of its native population, so should its history.

The once-great city of Babylon, for example, is little more than a living museum, devoid of influence or even much interest outside scholarly circles.

Over the centuries, Jerusalem has been fought over by the Assyrians, Babylonians, Egyptians, Greeks, Ptolemies, Seleucids, Romans, Byzantines, Persians, Arabs, Seljuks, Crusaders, Mongols, Mamelukes, by the Turks, the British, Jordan and most recently, by those Jordanians who became ´Palestinians´ after Jordan´s defeat in the 1967 War.

Jerusalem remains one of the most contested cities on earth to this day. That list doesn´t include the approximately two hundred million Islamic fundamentalists or Islamic states like Iran or Saudi Arabia who have conducted a decades-long shadow war to ´liberate´ the city from Jewish control.

Despite two thousand years of war aimed at destroying the Jews and seizing their city, in this generation, the Jews again inhabit an undivided Jerusalem.

"And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled." (Luke 21:24)

Jesus´ sweeping prophecy concerning the future of city of Jerusalem and its inhabitants was fulfilled to the letter throughout history, including its restoration to Jewish hands. Note that its restoration signals the fulfillment of the ´times of the Gentiles´.

The Apostle Paul called himself the ´apostle of the Gentiles´ (Romans 11:13) but Paul had formerly been known as Saul of Tarsus, a Pharisee (lawyer) and Jewish religious leader. Paul explains that the Church is a ´graft´ from the original tree (Judaism), saying,

"For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in." Romans 11:25)

Here we find the same phraseology that was employed by Jesus concerning the ´times of the Gentiles´. Jesus referred to the times of the Gentiles as being ´fulfilled´. Paul speaks of the ´fulness of the Gentiles´.

Paul says that, following the ´fulness of the Gentiles´,

"And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins." (Romans 11:27)

Paul notes that, during the Church Age, "As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes," but Paul cautions; "but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father´s sakes."

Then Paul wraps it all together by saying, "For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance." (Romans 11:29)

This is one of the great mysteries of Scripture. The Jews are enemies of the Gospel for ´our sakes´. What does that mean?

Jesus taught that His mission was to come first to the Jews. When approached by the Samaritan woman begging Him to help her daughter, Jesus told her, "I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel." (Matthew 15:24)

To the Jews He prophesied, "I am come in my Father´s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive." (John 5:43)

If the Jews had accepted their Messiah at His First Advent, there would have been no Church Age and the Lord would have set up the Millennial Kingdom right then and there.

Jesus prophesied that because of their rejection of Him, "Behold, your house is left unto you desolate." His prophecy was fulfilled in AD 70 with the destruction of Jerusalem and the beginning of the ´Times of the Gentiles.´

The usurper who comes in his own name and is received as the Messiah comes after the ´fulness of the Gentiles´ is come in.

Jeremiah calls it the ´Time of Jacob´s Trouble´ (Jeremiah 30:7). Jesus calls it the ´Tribulation´ (Matthew 24:29). The prophet Daniel outlines the Tribulation´s six-fold purpose, from the perspective of Israel;

"(1) to finish the transgression, and (2) to make an end of sins, and (3) to make reconciliation for iniquity, and (4) to bring in everlasting righteousness, and (5) to seal up the vision and prophecy, and (6) to anoint the most Holy." (Daniel 9:24)

Assessment:

Let´s connect the dots and see how the Big Picture develops here. Jesus said that the restoration of Jerusalem to Jewish control would signal that the ´fulness of the Gentiles be come in´.

Jesus said of the generation on earth at that time, "This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled." (Luke 21:32)

Paul says that the Jews, as an institution, rejected Jesus so that the Gentiles would have a chance at salvation. He said that God would not return His attention to Israel until ´the fulness of the Gentiles be come in´. The ´fulness of the Gentiles´ indicates a finite number -- a ´quota´, so to speak -- of Gentiles who will come to know Christ during the Church Age.

Once that quota -- the Church Age ´elect´ have been gathered, God returns His attention to the Jews, "And so all Israel shall be saved" -- because "the gifts and calling of God are without repentance."

That Jesus offered salvation first to Israel is confirmed by His own Words as recorded by John.

The ´Time of Jacob´s Trouble´ is so-called because of its purpose as outlined by Daniel -- the six-fold purpose that culminates with the ´anointment of the most Holy´ as Messiah and the beginning of the Millennial Reign from Jerusalem.

Note how clearly the two Dispensations are divided. Until the Crucifixion, God´s attention was focused on Israel. Until the ´fulness of the Gentiles be come in´ God´s attention is focused on the Church.

The Church, as the ´Bride of Christ´ serves no role in Daniel´s six-point outline for the Tribulation Period. Take another look at Daniel 9:24 before we go on.

The transgression was finished at the Cross. The Blood of Christ takes away all sin. (1st John 1:7) His death and resurrection reconciled the Church to God.

"And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation. To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation." (2nd Corinthians 5:18-19)

To the saved believer reconciled to God by the Blood of Christ, ´everlasting righteousness´ is a gift of grace through faith, ´sealing´ the vision and prophecy of the Old Covenant and introducing the New Covenant with the Church.

The believer knows that Jesus is ALREADY anointed King of King and Lord of Lords and is awaiting His return at the end of the Church Age.

There is no role for the Church Age during the Time of Jacob´s Trouble -- it doesn´t begin until after the ´fulness of the Gentiles´ is come in. And this is the generation in which Jerusalem was recovered from Gentile control, signaling the approach of the fullness of the Gentiles´.

The Tribulation serves two main purposes; the first is the judgment of God on a Christ-rejecting world. The second is the nation redemption of Israel. By definition, Church-Age believers have NOT rejected Christ, and need no further redemption.

The Bible says that, before the unfolding of the Time of Jacob´s Trouble, there will come an ingathering of Church Age believers:

"Because thou hast kept the word of My patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth." (Revelation 3:10)

Jerusalem is the signal that this is the generation that will see the ´fulness of the Gentiles be come in´. It was of that generation that Paul promised:

"For this we say unto you BY THE WORD OF THE LORD, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall . . . be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord." (1st Thessalonians 4:15,17b)

The time is short. Don´t let anybody steal your victory. Jesus is coming soon for His Church, and "THEN shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming." (2nd Thessalonians 2:8)

Get excited! The time is short, the fulness of the Gentiles is at hand; the Lord IS coming soon!

"Wherefore comfort one another with these words." (2nd Thessalonians 4:18)

U.S. Shuts Down Joint Israeli Projects




May 13, 2005
Middle East Newsline

WASHINGTON [MENL] -- The Defense Department has been quietly suspending joint military projects with Israel.

U.S. government sources said several key projects with Israel have been suspended or significantly slowed down in 2005. They said the slowdown has been gradual and could soon affect major projects, such as the Arrow-2 missile defense program.

"It´s all about China," a government source said. "The Pentagon, with full support of the administration, does not want to deal with Israeli products or technology that could be sent to China."

One casualty of the Pentagon decision has been the Mobile Tactical High Energy Laser project. The U.S. Army has refused to request funding for the joint Israeli-U.S. program for fiscal 2006 despite high interest in a laser system to defend against missiles, rockets and mortars.

Abbas is an idiot. He is worst than Arafat. He pretends to be for peace, and always has had Arafat when he was in power, to call for a cease fire. These are usless words, they have no meaning. They the PA want all of Israel and Jerusalem , and will lie, kill, cheat, steal again to gain this. I for one think that whimp Sharon should call for a cease disengagement! The PA fired, so to hell with the disengagement plan. But OP Sharon is a mere puppet of tptb, he is a weakling, not a man.

I as always will stand up for Israel and Jerusalem , not to have it fall into the hands of the goyim/Gollum L-rd of the rings mentality!

But that´s just me saying this. Ah if I should be able to afford to go to Israel and Jerusalem , I would stand up and fight for NO disengagement plan. I would fight for them to keep their G-d given land. But that´s just what I´m thinking. If I could go. Hey kick me out of the usa, I wouldn´t mind, hahaha.

Reestablished Sanhedrin Convenes to Discuss Temple Mount
reprinted with permission from Arutz Sheva

16:16 Feb 09, ´05 / 30 Shevat 5765

The re-established "Sanhedrin" convened to hold its monthly meeting this week, with the question of the Holy Temple´s precise location the main topic on the agenda.

The recently re-established Sanhedrin - ideally, Judaism´s top legal assembly - of 71 rabbis and scholars also moved to solidify logistical aspects of the body.

The Sanhedrin heard expert testimony on the various opinions as to the exact part of the Temple Mount upon which the Holy Temple stood. The fact that there has never been an archaeological expedition or dig on the Temple Mount, coupled with continuous Muslim efforts to destroy historical evidence of the Holy Temple at the site, have made determining the exact location difficult.

Identifying the spot on which the Temple stood is a matter of controversy among scholars, and has serious ramifications for those wishing to visit the Temple Mount. It is also critical for the renewal of the Passover sacrifice, and ultimately for the building of the third and final Holy Temple. While numerous opinions have been expressed throughout the years, and while several of them were expressed at the Sanhedrin gathering this week, the two main opinions state that the Temple stood either on the spot currently occupied by the gold-topped Dome of the Rock, or just to the north of that spot. An opinion that the Temple stood south of that spot, approximately behind the present-day Western Wall, was also presented - though most scholars basically discount it.



Myself, I´m convinced the Dome of the Rock is purposely over the Holy of Hollies location, which is what the rock in question is about.

Former Shin Bet chief warns Temple Mount attack would trigger ´total war´
By Haaretz Service

An attack by extreme-right Jews on the Temple Mount would trigger a large-scale war between Israel and the Muslim world, former Shin Bet chief Carmi Gillon told Haaretz.com readers on Thursday.

During an Haaretz Q&A session responding to questions from readers, the former head of the domestic security service said far-right militants now pose serious threats to mosques in Jerusalem´s Temple Mount compound.

"The consequences of such an act can be a disaster for the existence of the State of Israel and can bring a total war between the Muslim world, Israel and maybe against Jewish targets abroad," Gillon said.

Gillon headed the domestic security service in the mid-90s, when rising Israeli political tensions over the Oslo Accords culminated in the November 1995 assassination of prime minister Yitzhak Rabin.

A few months before the assassination, Gillon warned that fiery rhetoric by right-wing figures was encouraging radicals and fostering an atmosphere of violence. He left the service following the assassination.

Gillon warned on Thursday that another assassination of a prime minister would pose a strategic threat to Israeli society.

The former domestic security chief said that, despite the recent upsurge in Palestinian violence, he still has hopes Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas is motivated to seek peace.

"For the time being, he [Abbas] is not demonstrating the ability to act against the militants but we should give him time to gather his forces and to show his ability to rule the PA," Gillon said.

He also said the PA security forces possess both the knowledge and the means to enforce order in the Palestinian-controlled territories.

"What they still need is motivation to act against violence," Gillon said.

Calling for an end to Israel´s occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, Gillon said "the pullout is an Israeli need and not necessarily a Palestinian need and it comes to serve the needs of Israeli society."

Touching on the potential nuclear threat Iran might pose to Israel, Gillon said the issue "should be treated very carefully first with diplomatic means."

In 2001, Gillon was named ambassador to Denmark. The appointment led to a brief diplomatic crisis, after Gillon said that Israel might have to resume using "moderate physical pressure" to fight terrorism.

He is currently mayor of Mevasseret Zion, located outside Jerusalem.

Oracle Commentaries 5/24/2005
Israel - God´s Timeclock
There are those who would argue that all Bible prophecy was fulfilled by AD 70 with the destruction of the Jewish Temple and the dispersal of the Jews.

What appears to be the fulfillment of Bible prophecy in this generation, they argue, is the consequence of coincidence and misreading or misinterpreting the Scriptures.

Let´s see if that argument has any merit.

The prophet Ezekiel wrote, sometime around the year 536 BC, that the Jews of the ´latter years´ would be restored to their original homeland and would be known as the nation of Israel.

One hundred and sixty-six years before, Sargon II of Assyria besieged and divided Israel and Judea, capturing the Kingdom of Israel.

Sargon II followed the practice of removing the nobles from a conquered land and settling them elsewhere. As a consequence, the nation of ´Israel´ ceased to exist and its people became known to history as the ´ten lost tribes´ of Israel.

Nebuchadnezzar conquered the Kingdom of Judah and settled Judean nobility in Babylon during Ezekiel´s lifetime. Ezekiel had no reason to expect Judah to escape the same fate as their Israelite cousins 166 years earlier.

But Ezekiel, under Divine inspiration, not only predicted the restoration of a Jewish State, he confidently predicted it would bear the name of a nation that had not existed for generations!

The prophet Isaiah, who lived at about the time of the destruction of the Northern Kingdom, prophesied:

"Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west; I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;" (Isaiah 43:4-5)

We look back on Israel´s restoration as history. The Bible´s prophets were looking forward, thousands of years into the future.

Looking back, we can see that Israel´s ´seed from the east´ began flocking to the Holy Land following the defeat of the Turkish Ottoman Empire in 1917.

Israel´s relationship with the West prompted the mass emigration of Jews from America. The Holocaust spurred a mass emigration of Jews from Western Europe.

It took the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the fall of the Berlin Wall to make the Soviets to the north ´give up´. Egyptian Jews weren´t free to emigrate until after the 1977 Camp David Accords.

And it wasn´t until the mid 1990´s that places like Ethiopia, and Libya lifted their ban on Jewish emigration.

Yemeni Jews were transferred enmasse, some 56,000 of them, during what Israel called "Operation Flying Carpet." ("to the south, keep not back").

In the past decade, members of what were believed to be one of the ´Lost Tribes´ – the tribe of Dan – were recognized as such in Ethiopia.

Genetic testing has also determined that the men of the African Lemba tribe, a black, Bantu-speaking people, share the unique "Y" chromosome of the Cohanin, the Jewish priestly class descended from Aaron.

The Pathans of Afghanistan are believed by some to be descended from one of the Lost Tribes.

And the Chief Rabbi of the Sephardic Jews, Shlomo Amar recently determined that the Bnei Menashe community in India´s north-east is descended from the Lost Tribes. They were formally declared to be Jews. Many have since emigrated to Israel, and about 8,000 more are getting ready to do the same.

I met a member of this community who was flying co-pilot on an El Al flight. He claimed that his family had 2500-year-old records that traced their origins back to the tribe of Asher.

"And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be NO MORE TWO NATIONS, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all." (Ezekiel 37:22)

It is no Scriptural sleight-of-hand trick, or a manipulation or misinterpretation of the Bible. The restoration of Israel – viewed from our vantage point as personal witnesses to recent history – is an EXACT match to the Bible´s description of how, when and where that restoration would take place.

The only difference is that of perspective. To the Bible prophets, it was future, whereas to we who are alive and remain in this generation, it is history past.

"Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near; so, you too, when you see all these things, recognize that He is near, right at the door. Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place." (Matthew 24:32-34)

Moslem Cleric Calls for Revenge Against Britain on PA TV
16:47 May 25, ´05 / 16 Iyar 5765


In a sermon broadcast live on Palestinian Authority TV, a cleric affiliated with Hamas says Islam must rule over the U.S. and Great Britain, and must exact revenge against the British.


A Moslem cleric called for exacting revenge against Great Britain in a virulent sermon broadcast live on Palestinian television on Friday, May 13. The cleric, Sheikh Ibrahim Mudeiras, who has become a symbol of Palestinian hatred of Israel and the Western world, said the day will come when Islam “will rule Britain”.

“We hold this opportunity to hold Britain accountable and say there is revenge we can never forget. We cannot forego the revenge we want to exact from Britain. We hold Britain responsible for what happened in Palestine. Britain is the cause, till this very minute, of every drop of blood dripping in this land,” Mudeiras told Arab viewers in the Palestinian Authority.

Mudeiras set forth an Islamic program for world domination, claiming that Islam will ultimately prevail and rule both Britain and the United States.

“I say to you: You must look at our situation with an outlook of confidence in Allah´s victory! If you help Allah [spread Islam], Allah will bring you victory. We once ruled the world and the day will come when, by god, we will rule the entire world.

“The day will come when we will rule the United States, the day will come when we will rule Britain, we will rule the whole world [and all will live in peace and comfort under our rule] except the Jews. The Jews will not live in peace and comfort under our rule. Treachery will keep being their nature throughout history. The day will come when the whole world will rid itself of the Jews.”

Mudeiras’ speech was filled with anti-Semitic invective, rivaling some of the worst propaganda to come out of Nazi Germany. See article, “Subjugate Christians, Exterminate Jews” in the Arab Press section of INN’s website.

Despite the anti-British rhetoric broadcast on Palestinian television, British officials have confirmed reports that discussion is underway regarding opening ties with Hamas members who may be elected to the Palestinian Authority (PA) parliament.

Mudeiras is a Moslem cleric affiliated with Hamas.

British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw told Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom that Israel need not worry, explaining his government will not open relations with terrorists, but is considering some level of contact with persons who recognize the State of Israel’s right to exist, and have turned to a life which shuns terrorism.

Foreign Ministry official Gideon Meir stated that any contact with Hamas by a foreign government, on any level, will only serve to strengthen the terror organization and facilitate efforts towards continuing attacks against Israel.

An Unacknowledged Falling-out

Secret Pentagon Sanctions against Israel’s Defense Establishment


US-Israeli relations are not all what they are hyped
up to be, despite prime minister Ariel Sharon´s
insistence that Israel never had a better friend in the
White House

(See also HOT POINTS below: Washington Sees
Gaza Withdrawal as Stage One of Rapid Israeli
Rollback)

Just before Sharon set off this week for New York
and Washington, where he addressed the annual policy conference of the
American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), he was handed a
disturbing secret memo by his defense advisers.

Pentagon relations with Israel´s military and intelligence services were said to
have sharply deteriorated. US defense department´s actions were termed
"hostile".

The Pentagon insists its rift with Israel´s defense establishment pertains solely
to Israeli-Chinese transactions in Israeli weaponry and military technology.

Washington and Jerusalem are currently locked in negotiations on the
conditions under which Israel is permitted to sell military hardware to
Beijing.

But DEBKA-Net-Weekly´s political and military sources report the dispute
runs far deeper and is reminiscent of the bad old days back in the early 1990s
when former secretary of state James Baker and the George Herbert
Walker Bush administration denied Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Shamir
$10 billion in US loan guarantees in a falling-out over the construction of
Jewish settlements in the West Bank.

According to our sources, the new US sanctions, while not acknowledged,
entail the blackballing of Israeli officers and government officials who used
to be frequent invited guests at Pentagon events, receptions and symposiums
on military issues and weapons development.
Joint laser and fighter programs set aside, no replacement parts
The Pentagon is no longer renewing contracts,
including permits for the Israeli military to continue
buying replacement parts for US-supplied weapons
systems.
The US military has stopped funding joint
development ventures, such as a mobile tactical high
energy laser project.
Israeli representatives are no longer invited to discuss the joint US-Israeli
strike fighter program. Moreover, the Pentagon recently warned US defense
contractors they could lose their US military contracts if they turned out be
doing business with Israeli companies or in touch with Israeli defense
authorities dealing with China.
Israeli generals and other senior officers requesting what used to be routine
meetings with US counterparts at the Pentagon have been turned down flat or
told that someone would be getting back to them. In short – don´t call us,
we´ll call you.

In the secret memo to Sharon, Israeli officials complained that they are
extremely pained at this cavalier treatment after Israel’s long service in
supplying "extremely high quality" intelligence to the Americans on the
movements of terrorists in the Middle East and extensive assistance for the
prevention of terrorist attacks.
The document stressed that the US "sanctions" have begun to bite and are
affecting the day-to-day performance of the Israeli military and its security
services.

According to DEBKA-Net-Weekly´s sources in Washington, the Pentagon is
not acting off its own bat; its orders have come direct from senior Bush
administration officials who believe these sanctions will keep Sharon in line.
The White House seeks to restrain the Israeli prime minister from running off
track in three possible ways:

1. Sharon may draw back at the last minute from pulling Israeli civilians and
soldiers out of the Gaza Strip and the northern tip of the West Bank. The
evacuation has already been delayed three weeks until mid-August.

US intelligence briefs note that the Israeli army and police are still not
completely ready for the operation.
Sharon must withstand evacuation test – or else

2. The Bush administration suspects that if the evacuation is consummated,
Sharon will turn sharp right to mend broken fences with his alienated Likud
party. He may well adopt the posture of the Great Defender of Israel´s rights
in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) and rule out further ceding of land to
the Palestinians. This line would be totally unacceptable to Washington.

3. Sharon may seek to shore up his failing popularity by calling an early
general election. Washington fears that the typical mayhem of Israel’s
coalition-building will provide Sharon with a strong excuse to duck peace
negotiations with the Palestinians. The resulting stalemate will further
weaken Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas and may even cause the eclipse
of a man the Bush administration regards as a moderate.

Washington hopes its sanctions will achieve the following:

A. A strong, unequivocal warning to Sharon to go willy-nilly through with
the evacuation of all 21 Gaza locations and four more in the northern West
Bank.

B. Make Sharon understand that if he falters on the verge of disengagement,
the sanctions screw will be further tightened.

C. Impose on the Israeli prime minister the acceptance of a tacit
understanding with Washington that progress along the Middle East peace
"road map" track cannot be avoided after Israel quits Gaza and Northern
Samaria.

In short – Israel’s territorial handover of the two enclaves is just the
beginning.



Washington Sees Gaza Withdrawal as Stage One of Rapid Israeli
Rollback

26 May: In an exclusive report from Washington, DEBKAfile´s sources
reveal that US officials, including national security adviser Stephen Hadley,
made a point of seeing Sharon during his visits to New York and Washington
in the first part of the week to inform him that the forces assigned to execute
the pullout from Gaza must be assigned directly to their next task: the
dismantling of each and every "illegal settlement-outpost” in the West Bank.
The evacuations would not end there either. Sharon was also told that further
steps would be demanded, to be discussed at a later date.

As to Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen) and his White House
talks Thursday, May 26, the US officials assured Sharon that President Bush,
after forcing Sharon to remove the disputed West Bank outposts without
delay, would insist on Palestinian reciprocity by cooperating with Sharon
across the disengagement board – starting from the evacuation of Gush Katif
and northern Samaria and continuing through further Israeli withdrawals from
large tracts of the West Bank.

According to DEBKAfile’s Washington sources, the US president was also
prepared to warn Abu Mazen to stop trying to jump to the last stage of the
roadmap for final status talks. He will be told to stop attempting to put the
horse before the cart. Either drop the roadmap or follow through on all its
performance-related clauses including uprooting terrorism and reforms. In
short, the Palestinians cannot hope to achieve a permanent state with
permanent borders in one leap.

The US, the Palestinians and Israel, in the
Bush administration’s view, share an interest in achieving a provisional
Palestinian state with temporary borders before the end of Bush’s term in
office.

As for the Palestinian elections on July 17, DEBKAfile’s Palestinian sources
report that Abu Mazen can now afford to stick to the date without delay and
present this as a concession to the US president. In fact, the delay could be
abandoned after Hamas reached a strategic decision not to challenge Abbas’
Fatah for the dominant role in the Palestinian government. Its leaders decided
that they had more leverage for manipulating Abu Mazen from outside
government while letting him face the music from Washington and
Jerusalem.

As for Sharon, the administration purposely left Sharon no
maneuvering room or a chance to explain the new move to the Israeli public.
As one senior US source put it, "We did not want to give Sharon leeway for
delaying action in the West Bank."

Over the past few years I’ve been asked a few times if I truly believe that the “Church” really doesn’t care what happens to the Jews. The reason for bringing it up now is I think it is time too just lay it on the line like it is.



Not only did the Church turn it’s back on 6,000,000 Jews being systematically murdered by the Nazis, they still haven’t accepted their guilt in that genocide. But lets come up a little closer to modern day like say for the past 20 years. Millions have been murdered and or starved to death in Rwanda, Sudan, and Ethiopia while millions more died of diseases. The Moslems have killed millions in Africa and elsewhere simply because they were not Moslems. Without even as much as a mention from Pulpits around the world, while the “Church” continues on its real estate programs and raising the “Church Staff’s salaries. I know Pastor’s in the US who make above $400,000 a year with home paid for, car and all expenses paid for and 6-week vacations and allowed to preach as many as 6 revivals in other Churches bringing in another $100,000. Not one of them that I know of has ever made mentions of the Christians being murdered in any of the above countries, or the mass murder and genocide of millions in Africa and elsewhere. And when they hear of the situation in Israel more often than not they take the Palestinian side. Or at best give a glib lip service to appease those in the congregation who love Israel and the Jewish people.



So when some one asks me if I think the Church would sit still and allow another Holocaust of the 2 million Jews in Europe the answer is YES. In fact, at this very moment another Holocaust is in the making as anti-Semitism is on the rise throughout Europe and the Moslems are gaining power in every European country with politicians intimidated by them to the point that they are also making many anti-Semitic statements in order to stay in power.



Not only do I know that another Holocaust is coming but we are preparing to rescue as many as we can, but with very little help from “Churches”. In fact, 95% of the support to this Ministry is from individuals not from Churches. And for every one that does react to the touch of the Ruach Ha Koddesh and reaches out to bless Israel there are many others who send hate mail and threaten us even with death, which only confirms to us that we are walking in the right direction with God.



The great propaganda machine called the “News Media” has been able to twist the minds of many, but there are those in touch with God and the truth and who know what Bush and Sharon are doing is led by the New World Order. But it still amazes me to see how easily the majority can be misled. For example, Bush can carpet bomb Afghanistan and kill tens of thousands and it is not called a war crime, but when Israel kills one Terrorist who has killed many of us that is called a war crime. Or how Bush can kill tens of thousands of Iraqis because he thought they had weapons of Mass Destructions (?), but when Israel goes after weapons factories in Gaza and Samaria and Judea it is called a war crime. Or how Bush can say you cannot negotiate with Terrorists and then tells Israel that they must negotiate with terrorists. Then goes a giant step further and says Israel must allow the Terrorists to build a terrorist state right in the middle of little Israel. Bush says you cannot negotiate with terrorists then invites Abba Mazen to the White House and gives him $50 million knowing it will be used to fight Israel.



Bush claims to be a “Christian” and then says that Israel must give up the Settlements of “Judea and Samaria”. He goes on to say in his last speech that Jerusalem must also be divided to give the Palestinian Terrorists the Jewish Capital. This may well be the one step that goes to far against God’s Word for He has said He would destroy all Nations that come against Jerusalem Zechariah 12:9. It is well known that the Bush family and the Royal Family of Saudi Arabia are very close, it is also well known that the Saudis financially support all the movement in colleges and Universities as well as all public schools in the US to accept Islam. They support terrorist activity all over the globe, yet they are always welcome in the White House and the Texas Ranch.



When we speak of the Land of Israel we are talking about something very special to God, in fact, He calls it His Land. (Ezekiel 36:5) and we find throughout the Bible that God gave this land as an everlasting covenant to the offspring of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. It is part of His over all plan of the end times and the eventual destruction of Satan. For He will gather the Jews back to this land He gave to our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.



I should answer another question asked me quiet often, do I think the US and Israel will win the war against the Islamic Jihad? As for the US I believe George W. Bush has brought the judgment of God down on them and there is now no turning back. For with the present mindset there is no way he can win the war against the terrorists not even in Iraq much less the rest of the 60 Muslim Countries and the 22 Arab Counties. He is correct when he says you cannot negotiate with a terrorist but I will take it another step, you cannot negotiate with Satan and Satan is the heart of the Islamic movement to destroy Jews and Christians. It will take a world war with mass bombing killing hundreds of millions to stop them and I don’t believe the US has the stomach for such a move. In the mean time the Moslems are milking down the power of the US and will continue doing so until they are so weak that they will be easy pickings for the terrorists. The economy of the US will fall when the suicide bombers and even larger terrorist attacks began in the US. And the longer the US sits and waits to go all out after the Moslem world the easier it will be for them to destroy the US.



As for Israel, we have a very different story, God will come to the rescue and destroy the enemies of Israel, but before that happens there will be terrible things happen here in Israel. After this Disengagement we will see a new outbreak of Terrorist activity far worse than what we have witnessed in the past. There is a need for repentance in Israel for most have turned their back on God. Even the Haredim have turned to the Kabala bringing shame on the Torah, while at least 50% of the country seldom if ever pray or go to the Synagogue. But God will bring Israel to its knees, and Jews around the world will be forced to come running to Israel for when they are blamed once again for the ills of the world. There will be another Holocaust, not only in Europe but in the US and elsewhere as well. Jews need to be making their arrangements to move to Israel as soon as possible.



In the mean time I appeal once again to you to pray and ask God what He would have you to do. We must be about the Father’s business and prepare the way for Jews who will need our help to get here. And here in Israel our ministry continues around the country. God has added even another part to the ministry here in Israel we are now committed to three families to help them with food each month. We will rotate other families as these get on their feet, but for the time being we feel led to keep three families in food as long as we are able.



Pray for a the peace of Jerusalem, for our son Joel and all the IDF soldiers, pray for all those who have come to fight the Islamic enemy. Pray for this Ministry and your part in it. Shalom, jerry golden

The Ties That Bind China, Russia and Iran




June 4, 2005
By Jephraim P Gundzik
Asia Times

The military implementation of the George W Bush administration´s unilateralist foreign policy is creating monumental changes in the world´s geostrategic alliances. The most significant of these changes is the formation of a new triangle comprised of China, Iran and Russia.

Growing ties between Moscow and Beijing in the past 18 months is an important geopolitical event that has gone practically unnoticed. China´s premier, Wen Jiabao, visited Russia in September 2004. In October 2004, President Vladimir Putin visited China. During the October meeting, both China and Russia declared that Sino-Russian relations had reached "unparalleled heights". In addition to settling long-standing border issues, Moscow and Beijing agreed to hold joint military exercises in 2005. This marks the first large-scale military exercises between Russia and China since 1958.

The joint military exercises complement a rapidly growing arms trade between Moscow and Beijing. China is Russia´s largest buyer of military equipment. In 2004, China was reported to have signed deals worth more than $2 billion for Russian arms. These included naval ships and submarines, missile systems and aircraft. According to the head of Russia´s armed forces, Anatoliy Kvashnin, "our defense industrial complex is working for this country [China], supplying the latest models of arms and military equipment, which the Russian army does not have". Russia´s relations with China are not limited to military trade. In the past five years, non-military trade between Russia and China has increased at an average annual rate of nearly 20%. Moscow and Beijing have targeted non-military trade to reach $60 billion by 2010, from $20 billion in 2004. One of the key components of commercial trade is Russian energy exports to China.

In early 2005, Moscow agreed to more than double electricity exports to China, to 800 million kilowatt hours (kWh), by 2006. Officials at Russia´s electricity monopoly, Unified Energy Systems, are also courting Chinese investment in the development and renovation of Russia´s electricity system. In October 2004, the China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) and Russia´s Gazprom signed a series of agreements intended to study how Russia can best supply natural gas to China. At the same time, Russia signed specific agreements with China on oil exports.

Russia´s oil shipments to China are slated to reach 10 million tons in 2005, increasing to 15 million tons in 2006. All of these shipments will be made by rail. However, this agreement was overshadowed by talks concerning the construction of an oil pipeline from Siberia to northern China. Russia has been pondering an oil pipeline to China for nearly 10 years. In 2002, plans for this pipeline received a boost when Moscow pledged to invest $2 billion in an oil pipeline running from the Siberian city of Angarsk to Daqing in northeastern China.

At the end of 2004, Russian officials announced that rather than running into China, the new mega pipeline would terminate in Russia´s Pacific port of Nakhodka. Japan lobbied Moscow hard for this configuration, offering to finance the entire construction project, the cost of which is estimated to exceed $10 billion. In addition to a readily available financing source, the Nakhodka pipeline will remain entirely in Russian territory, allowing Moscow complete control over the oil flow.

Many analysts viewed Moscow´s decision as a blow to relations with China. Though the pipeline does not terminate in China, it does pass within 40 miles of Russia´s border with China. A spur from this pipeline to China would be inexpensive, while further diversifying the market for annual oil flows expected to reach 80 million tons. In other words, why should either Moscow or Beijing finance an eastern oil pipeline when Tokyo is bending over backwards to provide such financing?

More indicative of Russia´s deepening energy relations with China are the circumstances surrounding the renationalization of Russian oil major Yukos. Yukos was the only Russian company exporting oil to China. Russia´s government effectively renationalized Yukos in late 2004 when it seized the company´s primary production unit, Yuganskneftegaz, and auctioned it off to the highest bidder. Yuganskneftegaz, located in Siberia, is Russia´s second-largest oil producer.

Through somewhat twisted means, Russia´s state-owned oil company, Rosneft, acquired Yuganskneftegaz for $9.3 billion. In December 2004, Russia´s Industry and Energy Minister Viktor Khristenko offered the CNPC a 20% stake in Yuganskneftegaz. In February 2005, Russian Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin revealed that Chinese banks provided $6 billion in financing for Rosneft´s acquisition of Yuganskneftegaz. This financing was secured by long-term oil delivery contracts between Rosneft and the CNPC.

It is unclear whether the CNPC owns a portion of Yuganskneftegaz. However, in March, Russian authorities approved a merger between state-owned gas company Gazprom and Rosneft. This merger excludes Yuganskneftegaz, which will remain a separate state-owned company. It is possible that Yuganskneftegaz was left a stand-alone unit to facilitate China´s investment in the company.

China´s involvement in the renationalization of Yukos represents the most significant foreign participation in Russia´s highly guarded oil sector. The CNPC is also involved in several joint ventures with Russia´s state-owned gas company, Gazprom. These include ventures to develop energy reserves in Iran, the home of China´s largest energy-related investments.

BEIJING AND MOSCOW WARM TO TEHRAN.

In March 2004, China´s state-owned oil trading company, Zhuhai Zhenrong Corporation, signed a 25-year deal to import 110 million tons of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Iran. This was followed by a much larger deal between another of China´s state-owned oil companies, Sinopec, and Iran, signed in October 2004. This deal, worth about $100 billion, allows China to import a further 250 million tons of LNG from Iran´s Yadavaran oilfield over a 25-year period. In addition to LNG, the Yadavaran deal provides China with 150,000 barrels per day of crude oil over the same period.

This huge deal also enlists substantial Chinese investment in Iranian energy exploration, drilling and production as well as in petrochemical and natural gas infrastructure. Total Chinese investment targeted toward Iran´s energy sector could exceed a further $100 billion over 25 years. At the end of 2004, China became Iran´s top oil export market. Apart from the oil and natural gas delivery contracts, the massive investment being undertaken by China´s state-owned oil companies in Iran´s energy sector contravenes the US Iran-Libya Sanctions Act. This law penalizes foreign companies for investing more than $20 million in either Libya or Iran.

Side-stepping US laws is nothing new for China. Beijing, as well as Moscow, has supplied Tehran with advanced missiles and missile technology since the mid-1980s. In addition to anti-ship missiles like the Silkworm, China has sold Iran surface-to-surface cruise missiles and, along with Russia, assisted in the development of Iran´s long-range ballistic missiles. This assistance included the development of Iran´s Shihab-3 and Shihab-4 missiles, with a range of about 2,000 kilometers. Iran is also reportedly developing missiles with ranges approaching 3,000 kilometers.

In late 2004, former secretary of state Colin Powell asserted that Iran was working to adapt its long-range ballistic missiles to carry nuclear warheads. China was also believed to be producing several new types of guided anti-ship missiles for Iran in 2004. China´s and Russia´s sales of missiles and missile technology as well as missile development assistance contravenes the US-Irannon-proliferation act of 2000. This act specifically states that sanctions will be "imposed on countries whose companies provide assistance to Iran in its efforts to acquire weapons of mass destruction and missile delivery systems".

In the past several years a number of Chinese and Russian companies have faced US sanctions for selling missiles and missile technology to Iran. Rather than slowing or stopping such sales, the pace of missile acquisition and development in Iran has accelerated. Like relations between China and Russia and China and Iran, Russia´s relations with Iran have also advanced considerably in the past 18 months. In addition to increased investment in Iran by Russia and burgeoning arms trade between the two countries, Russia has been heavily involved in Iran´s nascent nuclear energy industry.

After much wrangling and repeated US intervention, Russia and Iran finally signed, in February, a deal clearing the way for the shipment of Russian nuclear fuel to Iran´s nuclear power plant at Bushehr. Washington´s primary concern about Bushehr is the intended use of the plant´s spent nuclear fuel. This fuel can be discarded, reprocessed, or used in the manufacture of weapons-grade plutonium. In an effort to assure Washington that the last of these three possibilities will not come to pass, Moscow has promised that all the spent fuel from Bushehr will be returned to Russia.

Nonetheless, Washington continues to believe that Bushehr´s start-up will advance Tehran´s supposed nuclear weapons program. Though evidence of an Iranian weapons program is sparse, the US remains convinced that Iran is working to develop nuclear weapons with Russian assistance.

THE NEW GEOSTRATEGIC ALLIANCE

Along with energy trade, investment and economic development, the China-Iran-Russia alliance has cultivated compatible foreign policies. China, Iran and Russia have identical foreign policy positions regarding Taiwan and Chechnya. China and Iran fully support the Putin government´s war against the Chechen separatists (Iran´s self-described status as an "Islamic republic" notwithstanding). Russia and Iran support Beijing´s one-China policy. The recent promulgation of China´s anti-secession law, aimed at making Beijing´s intolerance of Taiwanese independence explicit, was heartily commended in both Moscow and Tehran.

The most compelling aspect of this alliance is revealed in China´s and Russia´s support for Iran´s much-maligned nuclear energy program. The Putin government has consistently maintained that Russia would not support UN Security Council resolutions that condemn Iran´s nuclear energy program or apply economic sanctions against Iran. In February, Putin said he was convinced Iran was not seeking to develop nuclear weapons and announced plans to visit the country, in support of Tehran, just prior to his summit with President Bush.

Beijing has echoed Moscow´s opposition to UN action against Iran. After concluding the historic gas and oil deal between China and Iran in October 2004, China´s Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing announced that China would not support UN Security Council action against Iran´s nuclear energy program. Opposition in Moscow and Beijing to UN action against Iran is significant because both countries hold UN Security Council veto power.

The endorsement of Tehran´s nuclear energy program by Moscow and Beijing reveals the primary impetus behind the China-Iran-Russia axis - to counter US unilateralism and global hegemonic intentions. For Beijing and Moscow, this means minimizing US influence in Asia, Central Asia and the Middle East. For the regime in Tehran, keeping the US at bay is a matter of survival.

The joint statement issued at the conclusion of Putin´s state visit to China in October 2004 was a clear indication of Beijing´s and Moscow´s abhorrence of the Bush administration´s unilateral foreign policy. The statement noted that China and Russia "hold that it is urgently needed to [resolve] international disputes under the chairing of the UN and resolve crisis [sic] on the basis of universally recognized principles of international law. Any coercive action should only be taken with the approval of the UN Security Council and enforced under its supervision..."

Two weeks after this statement was released, and just prior to the US presidential election, Beijing´s position against US unilateralism was again made explicit by China´s former foreign minister Qian Qichen - arguably China´s most distinguished diplomat.

In an opinion piece published in the state-controlled China Daily, Qian ripped Washington´s unilateralism: "The United States has tightened its control of the Middle East, Central Asia, Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia." He noted that this control "testifies that Washington´s anti-terror campaign has already gone beyond the scope of self defense". Qian went further, stating that: "The US case in Iraq has caused the Muslim world and Arab countries to believe that the superpower already regards them as targets [for] its ambitious democratic reform program."

To China and Russia, Washington´s "democratic reform program" is a thinly disguised method for the US to militarily dispose of unfriendly regimes in order to ensure the country´s primacy as the world´s sole superpower. The China-Iran-Russia alliance can be considered as Beijing´s and Moscow´s counterpunch to Washington´s global ambitions. From this perspective, Iran is integral to thwarting the Bush administration´s foreign policy goals. This is precisely why Beijing and Moscow have strengthened their economic and diplomatic ties with Tehran. It is also why Beijing and Moscow are providing Tehran with increasingly sophisticated weapons.

Appeasement´s fatal attraction
Posted: June 16, 2005
1:00 a.m. Eastern

By Hal Lindsey
© 2005 WorldNetDaily.com

Last week, I reported President Bush´s shocking change in attitude toward Israel. This week, I want to show you why this should be of great concern to Americans.

According to the dictionary, the word "appeasement" means "to prevent further disagreement in arguments or war by giving to the other side an advantage that they have demanded."

Perhaps the pressure from Bush´s domestic enemies has been too intense. Or maybe he has been receiving bad advice. For whatever reason, some of the Bush administration´s policy reversals fit the definition of "appeasement" so closely that it´s the only accurate way describe them.

History demonstrates that appeasement does not bring peace – it simply defers war. It leaves the problems for a future administration. Worse, appeasement only encourages the aggressor to reach for more. The most famous case was that of British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain. His appeasement of Adolf Hitler in 1938 left his successor, Winston Churchill, to fight a war for which his country was unprepared and ill equipped.

During the 1967 Six Day War, Israel captured the West Bank from Jordan, and the Gaza Strip from Egypt. During the 1973 Yom Kippur War, Israel chased Egypt back across the Suez Canal and captured and annexed the Sinai all the way to the canal. That was a territorial gain larger than Israel itself.

Using foreign aid as a lever, former President Jimmy Carter was able to persuade Israel to return the Sinai to Egypt in exchange for "peace." To get Egypt to sign the peace treaty with Israel, he made Egypt the second largest recipient of U.S. foreign aid in the world, after Israel. Israel got nothing it didn´t already have except an essentially meaningless piece of paper. The Carter deal created a new foreign policy term – "cold peace."

Then, President Clinton launched the "land for peace" initiative between Israel and the Palestinians with the signing of the 1993 Oslo Agreement. The "land for peace" initiative was a textbook example of appeasement in action.

To appease the first Palestinian uprising, Clinton convinced Israel to accept Yasser Arafat as a "peace partner." As with Egypt, Israel got nothing it didn´t already have. Arafat got whatever he wanted.

By 1998, the Clinton administration had brokered a deal whereby Israel would give up virtually all of the territory it gained in 1967 in exchange for peace with a future Palestinian state.

By 2000, the deal collapsed into what Israel calls the "Oslo War." The constant drumbeat of appeasement has now apparently infected the Bush administration, although it took a second term in office to accomplish it.

President Bush´s recent pronouncement that the final status in Israel will be based on the 1949 Armistice lines was essentially an appeasement offer to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. Abbas has not dismantled or disarmed terror groups. He has not ended incitement. He has not closed bomb factories. He has not disarmed or arrested terrorists. And all of this was to be done before peace negotiations even began.

The Palestinian foreign minister wasted no time taking advantage of Bush´s declaration of the 1949 Armistice Line being the base from which all negotiations must proceed. He announced Tuesday on Palestinian TV that "Israel must withdraw from all occupied territories before anyone will be disarmed." The "occupied territories" refer to all land outside the 1949 Armistice Land, including East Jerusalem.

On the other hand, Israel has made one unreciprocated concession after another.

At a recent meeting in the White House, Mahmoud Abbas demanded that Israel stop all building in the territories. He demanded that Israel stop constructing the security fence and hand over Jerusalem to the Palestinian Authority. President Bush backed virtually all of Abbas´ demands despite the fact that Abbas and the Palestinians have done nothing in return. Even the alleged ceasefire that prompted Abbas´ invitation to the White House was totally phony.

Hamas and Islamic Jihad met in Gaza this week to discuss ending "the ceasefire." Hamas leader Khaled Mashal brazenly referred to the ceasefire as a "rest for the warriors." Peace was never seriously contemplated.

Mahmoud Abbas appeared on Palestinian television to promise Hamas, "If everything falls apart, they (Hamas & Islamic Jihad) can return to the path of armed struggle." On this tenuous basis, the Bush proposal to increase aid and establish a Palestinian state is the ultimate in appeasement. So is the incredible turnaround in which President Bush promised Abbas that the final status would be based on the 1949 Armistice lines.

Abbas has apparently agreed to an arrangement to share power with Hamas. So the Bush administration now finds itself indirectly aiding Hamas itself.

Winston Churchill, describing his opposition to the appeasement policy of predecessor Neville Chamberlain, famously observed, "those who appease the crocodile will simply be eaten last." Churchill also had some clear advice for future leaders – advice that both the White House and the appeasers on the Left would do well to take to heart before it is too late. He said, "You must look at the facts for the facts are looking at you."

This country was born under the blessing of God. Great Divine light was given to America because it became a base for spreading the Gospel to the world. America also protected both the Jews here and the Israelites´ right to exist within the secure borders of Israel. Now that we are removing that protection and abandoning public acknowledgement of God, His protection is being removed from America. "Unto whom much is given, much is required."

Saad Hariri already claims success for his anti-Syrian alliance

June 19, 2005, 11:48 PM (GMT+02:00)

He says incomplete results of North Lebanon’s elections are enough to set his anti-Syrian alliance on track for parliamentary majority. Turnout in fourth round of poll was 49%

Christian leader Michel Aoun was pitted against the bloc led by Hariri, son of the murdered Sunni politician in the north Lebanese poll that winds up the four-round general election.

DEBKAfile adds: In the first election since Syria’s exit from Lebanon, the opposition led by Hariri picked up 46 seats for the 128-strong legislature, the pro-Syrian list led by the Hizballah, 33 and Aoun’s faction 21. The anti-Syrian alliance needs to win 19 out of the 28 seats at stake in the north to win control of parliament.

Chinese FM lands in Israel as FM Shalom apologizes to US for selling sophisticated weapons technology to Beijing

June 19, 2005, 11:40 PM (GMT+02:00)
Chinese foreign minister Li Zhaoxing lands in Israel on Middle East tour

DEBKAfile reports: The dispute that involved Pentagon sanctions against Israel centers on the upgrade of Harpy attack drones which Israel had already sold to China and other advanced technology. FM Shalom sad there was no intention of harming US interests. He then welcomed Chinese foreign minister Li Zhaoxing who arrived from Amman.

After talks with Israeli leaders, Li will Monday see Palestinian officials in Ramallah. Shalom urged Beijing to pursue a more balanced policy towards Israel.

Before she left for Jordan, US secretary of state Condoleezza Rice said Israeli defense minister Shaul Mofaz whom she met Saturday night in Jerusalem had shown understanding for Washington’s concerns over a Chinese military buildup in the Pacific in the light of the close defense ties between Israel and the US.

An agreement under discussion would enable the US to supervise Israeli arms sales to countries Washington deems problematic, like China and India.

Tehran warns Iraq and Kuwait to stop meddling in Khuzestan

June 20, 2005, 12:11 AM (GMT+02:00)

Tehran warns Iraq and Kuwait to stop meddling in Khuzestan Iraqi prime minister Ibrahim Jaafari arrived in Kuwait Monday with oil minister Bahr al-Ulum saying they sought to buy more oil and sell natural gas. DEBKAfile reports they came for urgent conference with Kuwaiti leaders on their response to the Iranian threat which frightened the Kuwaitis into arresting 12 Khuzestani activists. The Iraqis want the men freed as their capture harms the ethnic Arab revolt against Tehran.
