The 2008 Election and Israel

Most people who know me consider me a right-wing conservative radical. I took it as a compliment when recently a frustrated liberal said to me, "Your so right-wing!" However, as in the last election, I will not be voting for the Republican ticket. I simply refuse to lend my support to anyone or any government that through Quartet influence, seeks to reward Muslim-Nazi ideology with a recognized state while they vehemently conspire to destroy Israel in appeasing their god Allah.

A lot of attempts have been made by conservative radio and television personalities such as Limbaugh, Hannity, Ingraham, and of course every person on Fox News to discredit Obama with his affiliation with PLO member Rashid Khalidi and the Hamas supporting Rev. Jeremiah Wright, as they should. However, I see no difference in Obama's affiliation with such men than President Bush allowing the Holocaust denying, martyrdom of terrorists proclaiming, terrorism unctioner, and Israel-hating Mahmoud Abbas into the White House for a "friendly" visit, calling this devil a "reformer" and a "peace-maker"!

It wasn't Obama that forced the Jews out of Gaza in August, 2005. It was the evil "twice Republican candidate" George W. Bush who pressured Ariel Sharon with loan guarantees and his Saudi conceived Roadmap plan that caused Gaza to be Judenrein (Jew-free) from where rockets now strike Israel much easier.

When I heard Sarah Palin express her seemingly vibrant support for Israel in the Vice-Presidential debate, and even taking a jab at Joe Biden as if he wasn't for the support for Israel and then turn right around and state that a two-state solution is indeed the answer to the Middle East conflict, it sealed my non-vote for the evil Republican ticket.

It's quite simple, though they may give lip-service towards the good of Israel, one cannot be for the well being of the State of Israel and at the same time, and in anyway, support and reward Israel's most vicious enemy who vows with the blood of their children the destruction of Israel! It simply doesn't work that way.

Christians should know this more than anyone. It is the same principle as "a little leaven leavens the whole lump" (I Cor. 5:6) and "He that is not with me is against me" (Matt. 12:30) and "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other" (Matt. 6:24). The same can be said concerning Israel. One cannot love Israel and bless her enemies. It's a fundamental biblical absolute that whoever (Republican or Democrate) curses Israel by blessing his enemy is indeed cursed! (Num. 24:9).

As I see it, a vote for either party is a vote for the Quartet (USA included) to destroy Israel (Zech. 14:2) thereby trying to accomplishing what Hitler started. Obama can do no more to Israel that what George W. Bush (the Christian Right's choice) has already started and what McCain would continue to do via Bush's Saudi-conceived roadmap plan.

Many conservatives have told me that they really don't care for John McCain but feel they must vote for him because not voting for him benefits Obama. My answer to that is, "so what?" A vote for an evil because it is a "lesser evil" as McCain is viewed by many conservatives is a joke. There can be no righteousness in voting for any kind of evil regardless of how "lesser" it is! The lesser evil is still evil, period! The problem with voting for the lesser of two evils ends up being that the lesser of the two becomes more evil than the last lesser of two evils. A stand must be made without any waver or any compromise whatsoever. God operates under this principle with His word and expects us to do the same.

Beside this, if one is not willing to go all out for their candidate with financial backing, making phone calls, yard signs, and bumper stickers, all of which can effect other votes as well, it's only a half-hearted vote to begin with.

I took a lot of flack from several people including my wife during the last election when I refused to vote for the evangelical's choice, George W. Bush. Voting for every office on the ballot except for the office of president was something I never had done before. But every time Bush made a move towards a Palestinian state (which was often) I thanked the God of Israel that I hadn't laid my voting hand of support to such a Quartet-obeying devil. When I saw the Economist magazine show on the front cover a picture of Bush with the heading "Mr. Palestine" http://www.360east.com/?p=890 I showed it to my wife and said, "This is why I didn't vote for Bush!" I agree with the Economist, Bush is certainly Mr. Palestine himself.

It true that there are several other religious issues at sake in this coming election such as abortion. But the Inquisition Catholics of Spain as the Catholic Church does currently, would also be against abortion, but what was their spiritual condition that caused them to religiously murder Jews? Abortion by which there is no biblical death penalty (Ex. 21:22) is not the focal point of what causes a nation to be blessed or cursed. Israel however is, because that nation was ordained by God to be the nation-priest of the Gentile nations. To award the Muslim terrorist Palestinians a recognized state is to bless their god Allah and curse the God of Israel.

Speaking of unrighteous baby-murder, many Israeli infants and children have been murdered due to the Quartet pressure on Israel and their support of a Palestinian state. Hamas fires rockets into elementary schools in Sderot, Israel from once Jewish neighborhoods in Gaza and is only encouraged by what they see coming from the Quartet.

My patriotism and duty towards this country has never been weak. From my teenage years until the present, the 1970 hit "Fightin' Side of Me" by Merle Haggard continues to be my favorite country song as it was my father's. It has even been a ring tone for me. What I have also believe since my teenage years is the that ultimate best for this country biblically speaking is to bless and not curse Israel. Therefore, I resolve to withhold casting my vote for either of the Quartet-abiding / appeasing party as a protest to a system that has failed offer me a righteous biblical choice. The questions that I have to ask myself are these:

• Am I willing to take part (by voting for) the future government and all it does in Quartet-compliance over the status of Jerusalem?

• Will I give my voting hand of support knowing that the candidate I'm voting for, who like George W. Bush, will place Israel in great danger, even to the brink of annihilation via Palestinian-Nazi-terrorist state, regardless of their lying lip-service on how much they support Israel?
  

Believing that the End of Days are approaching, I as a reader of Ezekiel 37 and so many other scriptures concerning God's written will and prophecy concerning Israel, I'm not about to put my hand to, or play a role of support of such an evil among the nations. What more can I do knowing that God will judge me according to His word and notaccording to some preconceived American political notion?
.
The bottom line: I will vote for the one who is to make judgment (Isaiah 11:3-4) from God's capital in Jerusalem, and not the one who is to be judged in America's capital Washington DC.

My Breakdown and Reactions of Bush's Address to the Israeli Knesset

May 15, 2008
President Bush Addresses Members of the Knesset
The Knesset
Jerusalem

It's amazing how the official White House web-site can acknowledge London as being part of England http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2001/07/20010719-2.html but can't recognize Jerusalem being a part of Israel (as copy and pasted above from their site) http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2008/05/20080515-1.html? Maybe this is so for the same reason the US embassy is still in Tel-Aviv instead of Jerusalem even after the Jerusalem Embassy Relocation Act of 1995 http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/US-Israel/Jerusalem_Relocation_Act.html, it's all political!

THE PRESIDENT: President Peres and Mr. Prime Minister, Madam Speaker, thank very much for hosting this special session. President Beinish, Leader of the Opposition Netanyahu, Ministers, members of the Knesset, distinguished guests: Shalom. Laura and I are thrilled to be back in Israel. We have been deeply moved by the celebrations of the past two days. And this afternoon, I am honored to stand before one of the world's great democratic assemblies and convey the wishes of the American people with these words: Yom Ha'atzmaut Sameach. (Applause.) That is "Happy Independence Day" in Hebrew.

It is a rare privilege for the American President to speak to the Knesset. (Laughter.) Although the Prime Minister told me there is something even rarer -- to have just one person in this chamber speaking at a time. (Laughter.) My only regret is that one of Israel's greatest leaders is not here to share this moment. He is a warrior for the ages, a man of peace, a friend. The prayers of the American people are with Ariel Sharon. (Applause.)

We gather to mark a momentous occasion. Sixty years ago in Tel Aviv, David Ben-Gurion proclaimed Israel's independence, founded on the "natural right of the Jewish people to be masters of their own fate." What followed was more than the establishment of a new country. It was the redemption of an ancient promise given to Abraham and Moses and David -- a homeland for the chosen people Eretz Yisrael.
Yes, and we can read about where the borders of Eretz Yisrael (land of Israel) in the very same Bible that mentions Abraham, Moses, and David in Joshua chapter 15 (including verse 47) and in Ezekiel chapter 48 of which includes the entire "West Bank"believe it or not!

Eleven minutes later, on the orders of President Harry Truman, the United States was proud to be the first nation to recognize Israel's independence. And on this landmark anniversary, America is proud to be Israel's closest ally and best friend in the world.
If the appeasing Franklin D. Roosevelt who met with Saudi leader Abdul Aziz aboard the USS Quincy in the Great Bitter Lakes of the Suez Canal, vowed to "do nothing to assist the Jews against the Arabs and would make no move hostile to the Arab people" had not died two months later, the United States would have been the "last" nation to recognize Israel's independence! http://www.saudi-us-relations.org/articles/2007/ioi/070214-lippman-meeting.html

The alliance between our governments is unbreakable, yet the source of our friendship runs deeper than any treaty. It is grounded in the shared spirit of our people, the bonds of the Book, the ties of the soul. When William Bradford stepped off the Mayflower in 1620, he quoted the words of Jeremiah: "Come let us declare in Zion the word of God." The founders of my country saw a new promised land and bestowed upon their towns names like Bethlehem and New Canaan. And in time, many Americans became passionate advocates for a Jewish state.
They also named towns "Palestine" after Biblical and Jewish Palestine and not after a 20th. century Muslim name-grabbing of Palestine. http://pioneercity.com/history.html

Centuries of suffering and sacrifice would pass before the dream was fulfilled. The Jewish people endured the agony of the pogroms, the tragedy of the Great War, and the horror of the Holocaust -- what Elie Wiesel called "the kingdom of the night." Soulless men took away lives and broke apart families. Yet they could not take away the spirit of the Jewish people, and they could not break the promise of God. (Applause.) When news of Israel's freedom finally arrived, Golda Meir, a fearless woman raised in Wisconsin, could summon only tears. She later said: "For two thousand years we have waited for our deliverance. Now that it is here it is so great and wonderful that it surpasses human words."
"Promise of God" did you say Mr. President? Just what are the promises of God towards Jerusalem (Joel 3:16-20, Micah 4:2, Zachariah. 8:3-8, Zechariah 12:2-11) and what has been done in the last seven years from your American administration that would be promoting and not going against those very promises of God? And Golda Meir would not only turn over, but actually spin in her grave at Israel accepting the Quartet's (suicide plan for Israel) "peace process"?

"The joy of independence was tempered by the outbreak of battle, a struggle that has continued for six decades. Yet in spite of the violence, in defiance of the threats, Israel has built a thriving democracy in the heart of the Holy Land. You have welcomed immigrants from the four corners of the Earth. You have forged a free and modern society.You have worked tirelessly for peace. You have fought valiantly for freedom."
Why does America seek a state for the very ones who initiated all those six decades of violence that you mentioned Mr.President? Are we to believe that the ones responsible for those six decade will turn around and "forge a free and modern society" and will work in your own words, "work tirelessly for peace" in the same way the Israelis have?
.
My country's admiration for Israel does not end there. When Americans look at Israel, we see a pioneer spirit that worked an agricultural miracle and now leads a high-tech revolution. We see world-class universities and a global leader in business and innovation and the arts. We see a resource more valuable than oil or gold: the talent and determination of a free people who refuse to let any obstacle stand in the way of their destiny.

More valuable than "oil" did you say Mr. President? Is the "peace process" that has Israel's destruction written all over it, more or less valuable to you than Saudi Arabia's oil?

I have been fortunate to see the character of Israel up close. I have touched the Western Wall, seen the sun reflected in the Sea of Galilee, I have prayed at Yad Vashem. And earlier today, I visited Masada, an inspiring monument to courage and sacrifice. At this historic site, Israeli soldiers swear an oath: "Masada shall never fall again." Citizens of Israel: Masada shall never fall again, and America will be at your side.
Will America be at the side of the Palestinians as well? What kind of oath do the Palestinians swear by? Is what they swear in nature of Jihad? Do they swear to kill Jews from the river (Jordan) to the sea (The Mediterranean)? What do the Palestinians think about the actual "swear" that Masada will never fall again? Do they swear that Masada will fall?

This anniversary is a time to reflect on the past. It's also an opportunity to look to the future. As we go forward, our alliance will be guided by clear principles -- shared convictions rooted in moral clarity and unswayed by popularity polls or the shifting opinions of international elites.

We believe in the matchless value of every man, woman, and child. So we insist that the people of Israel have the right to a decent, normal, and peaceful life, just like the citizens of every other nation. (Applause.)

We believe that democracy is the only way to ensure human rights. So we consider it a source of shame that the United Nations routinely passes more human rights resolutions against the freest democracy in the Middle East than any other nation in the world. (Applause.)
I can't believe it! President Bush (Mr. Palestine himself) actually said something worth commending. Not only was such a statement very factual, it was even outside the "Quartet mindset". Wow! I'm very,very, impressed!

We believe that religious liberty is fundamental to a civilized society. So we condemn anti-Semitism in all forms -- whether by those who openly question Israel's right to exist, or by others who quietly excuse them.
So will the state of Palestine that you are trying so hard to create, Mr. President be just as condemning of antisemitism as well, or are you just claiming to not be anti-Semitic while desperately trying to create a very anti-Semitic Jew-murdering state? What are the realities here?

We believe that free people should strive and sacrifice for peace. So we applaud the courageous choices Israeli's leaders have made. We also believe that nations have a right to defend themselves and that no nation should ever be forced to negotiate with killers pledged to its destruction. (Applause.)
Shouldn't America strive and sacrifice for peace with Al-Qadea as well in the same exact way? That way the Israeli government can applaud the courageous choices America's leaders would make in returning the favor? And what about the nation(s) especially the Jewish ones, being forced to negotiate with Holocaust deniers, praiser of suicide bombers, a terrorist supporter, and terrorism prompters? Let's say "Mahmoud Abbas"for example? http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/89187
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=53732 http://www.tomgrossmedia.com/mideastdispatches/archives/000267.html

We believe that targeting innocent lives to achieve political objectives is always and everywhere wrong. So we stand together against terror and extremism, and we will never let down our guard or lose our resolve. (Applause.)

The fight against terror and extremism is the defining challenge of our time. It is more than a clash of arms. It is a clash of visions, a great ideological struggle. On the one side are those who defend the ideals of justice and dignity with the power of reason and truth. On the other side are those who pursue a narrow vision of cruelty and control by committing murder, inciting fear, and spreading lies.

This struggle is waged with the technology of the 21st century, but at its core it is an ancient battle between good and evil. The killers claim the mantle of Islam, but they are not religious men. No one who prays to the God of Abraham could strap a suicide vest to an innocent child, or blow up guiltless guests at a Passover Seder, or fly planes into office buildings filled with unsuspecting workers. In truth, the men who carry out these savage acts serve no higher goal than their own desire for power. They accept no God before themselves. And they reserve a special hatred for the most ardent defenders of liberty, including Americans and Israelis.
Let's go to the source of Islam to determine if they really are just using Islam's mantle or if they are the true followers of the Mohammedan religion:

• And fight with them until there is no more "fitnah" (remember the banned Danish documentary by the same name) and all religions are for Allah - sura 8:39
• O prophet, urge the believers (Muslims) to fight. If there be of you twenty steadfast, they shall overcome two hundred; and if there be of you a hundred, they shall overcome a thousand of those who disbelieve. - sura 8:65
• ...Slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captive and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush- sura 9:5
• Fight those who believe not in Allah, nor in the Last Day -sura 9:29
• O prophet, make war against the disbelievers and the hypocrites and be firm against them. And their abode is hell, and evil is the destination. - sura 9:73.
• And concerning "martyr operations" (suicide bombings) Surely Allah has bought from the believers their persons and their property - theirs in return is the Garden (of paradise). They fight in Allah's way, so they slay and are slain. - sura 9:111

Yes, President Bush, they are very religious, and I dare say a lot more religious than you. They understand what their holy book tells them to do in advancing Dar-al Islam (abode of the submission to Allah) by fighting Dar-al Harb (the abode of war that is against Islam). In doing so are they not following Allah's final phase (the prior phases being prophethood, messengership, defensive wars) that was expressed in their prophet Mohammad's life as jihad whereby the 8th. and 9th. chapters of the Koran were written? The jihadist believe that this undeniable final phase consisting of jihad was given for the freedom of all mankind so he wouldn't have to be servitude to man's "world order" of which your infidel father and infidel self helps rule. To them, jihad is a declaration of freedom that frees a man where he can be free to choose Islam and summit to Allah (Islam) instead of being kept from Allah's will by Dar-al harb (the abode of war a.k.a. the West). Maybe Mr. President, you should take the time to study a little Islam, read some Koran and maybe a hadith or two before making such asinine statements about something you just think you know by what some hired Muslim, White House guide, who more than likely is gifted in the fine Islamic art of al-takiah (lying for the sake of Islam) tells you?

And that is why the founding charter of Hamas calls for the "elimination" of Israel. And that is why the followers of Hezbollah chant "Death to Israel, Death to America!" That is why Osama bin Laden teaches that "the killing of Jews and Americans is one of the biggest duties." And that is why the President of Iran dreams of returning the Middle East to the Middle Ages and calls for Israel to be wiped off the map.

• That is why Muslims are not to make friends with Jews (sura 5:51).
  
• That is why the Koran says that the Jews are the cause of all wars and strive to make mischief in the land (sura 5:64).
  
• That is why Jews are the most violent people against the Muslim believers (sura 5:82).
  
• That is why Allah has turned the Jews into pigs and apes (sura 5:60 / 7:166).
• That is why Jews should be murdered or crucified, or have their hands and feet cut off on opposite sides (sura 5:32-33).
  

There are in fact "Koranic" reasons as to why Osama bin Laden teaches that "the killing of Jews and Americans is one of the biggest duties". Besides what his holy Koran states concerning "the Jews" of which he gets all of his inspiration, bin Laden also knows how his holy prophet (an excellent example of human behavior (sura 33:21) dealt with the Jews of the Banu Qurayza tribe which was by cutting their heads off and taking their women and small children as slaves. Bin Laden is also very aware of the authoritative and reliable hadith that states, "

You will fight against the Jews and you will kill them until even a stone would say: Come here, Muslim, there is a Jew (hiding himself behind me) ; kill him. - Muslim, Book 041, Number 6981 *

Yes Mr. President, maybe this is why bin Laden does think that "killing Jews is one of the biggest duties"! And maybe that's why the founding charter of Hamas calls for the elimination of Israel. And maybe that's why Hezbollah chants "Death to Israel, Death to America"? READ THE KORAN AND ITS HADITH MR. PRESIDENT!
.
There are good and decent people who cannot fathom the darkness in these men and try to explain away their words. It's natural, but it is deadly wrong. As witnesses to evil in the past, we carry a solemn responsibility to take these words seriously. Jews and Americans have seen the consequences of disregarding the words of leaders who espouse hatred. And that is a mistake the world must not repeat in the 21st century.
Did you Mr. President, take seriously the words of Al-Fatah and Hamas within their covenants before pursuing a Palestinian state, or did "you" disregard them after seeing the consequences in the past of doing just that very thing?
.
Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along. We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: "Lord, if I could only have talked to Hitler, all this might have been avoided." We have an obligation to call this what it is -- the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history. (Applause.)
Several decades of Palestine history include but not limited to:

• The 1929 Hebron massacre and other Jewish massacres.
  
• Their support for the Nazis and the Axis of Evil under their spiritual leader and guide - the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem haj Amin al-Husseini.
• Their support for the communist Russia during the Cold War via their revered leader Yassir Arafat who today is buried in a most elaborate tomb reflecting Palestinian admiration for all of Arafat's evil deeds.
• Their support for Saddam Hussein during the Gulf War as they cheered his SCUD missiles hitting Tel-Aviv and other places within Israel proper.
• Presently, their support for Osama bin Laden and Al-Qadea! Not only did they joyfully cheer and dance in the street at the news of 9/11, but they also elected Hamas (an extension of the Muslim Brotherhood that Al-Qadea itself came from) in an overwhelming victory.

Given these facts, how is it not a "foolish delusion" on your part Mr. President, that the Palestinian people have now been persuaded by your administration's ingenious arguments that they have been wrong all along these past several decades, in these and many more accounts of terrorism? Like the Palestinians of Gaza, the Nazis were given land-for-peace which was the Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia. But like the Nazis, nothing less than the whole area of which they had originally sought after (in the case of the Palestinians, the whole of Palestine / Israel) will only suffice them! Mr. President, you have an obligation to call the land-for-peace "peace process" what it is -- the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history! Listen to your own statements Mr. President, and apply them where they should be applied!
.
Some people suggest if the United States would just break ties with Israel, all our problems in the Middle East would go away. This is a tired argument that buys into the propaganda of the enemies of peace, and America utterly rejects it. Israel's population may be just over 7 million. But when you confront terror and evil, you are 307 million strong, because the United States of America stands with you. (Applause.)
Your peace process buys into the propaganda of the enemies of peace as well, namely the Hudaibiya treaty http://www.mythbustingthemideast.com/quiz.html where they will be ever so close to their pre-June 1967 goals. How many million strong were the Israelis Mr. President, when you suspended loan guarantees in order to pressured Israel to accept the Quartet's Palestinian state concept that includes a land-for-peace deal that is sponsored by the Saudis themselves. These Saudis, whose country is founded on Islamic Wahhabism knows very well the "Hudaibiya Peace-Process Treaty" concept that originated in their Wahhabist country, not to mention obtaining the billions of dollars worth of state of the art weaponry that you Mr. President, sold them!
.
America stands with you in breaking up terrorist networks and denying the extremists sanctuary. America stands with you in firmly opposing Iran's nuclear weapons ambitions. Permitting the world's leading sponsor of terror to possess the world's deadliest weapons would be an unforgivable betrayal for future generations. For the sake of peace, the world must not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon. (Applause.)
But America now stands with the Palestinians in the "Hudaibiya Peace-Process Plan". America also stood by Hamas in the sense of implementing one of their goals through Israeli pressure - a Jew-free Gaza. America is also standing by the Fatah and Hamas together in bringing about another terrorist goal in making the entire West Bank also Jew-free! And its a given fact that both of these groups (according to their covenants) support Iran's nuclear weapons ambitions. I haven't heard "American Poster-boy for Peace in the Middle East" Mahmoud Abbas condemn Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for his World without Zionist /blow Israel off the map, speech . I wonder why? Does Mahmoud Abbas also believe like you Mr. President, that permitting the world's leading sponsor of terror to possess the world's deadliest weapons would be an unforgivable betrayal for future generations, and that for the sake of peace, the world must not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon?
.
Ultimately, to prevail in this struggle, we must offer an alternative to the ideology of the extremists by extending our vision of justice and tolerance and freedom and hope. These values are the self-evident right of all people, of all religions, in all the world because they are a gift from the Almighty God. Securing these rights is also the surest way to secure peace. Leaders who are accountable to their people will not pursue endless confrontation and bloodshed. Young people with a place in their society and a voice in their future are less likely to search for meaning in radicalism. Societies where citizens can express their conscience and worship their God will not export violence, they will be partners in peace.
How can one offer a better alternative to true Islam? You see there, you infidel-kafir you, you are just trying to destroy Islam and such statements prove it! True Islam has a duty to wage war against the world ruled by man where justice, tolerance, freedom, and hope are only false visions. This is why there are things such as racism, inequality, and corruption in a capitalistic world not ruled by Allah. Islam seeks only to establish a world under the Islamic law where man can be free from the servitude of other man and be free to be servitude to Allah (Islam) alone where in Allah's domain one can have those things that you mentioned, true justice, tolerance, freedom, and hope. You see, President (Kafir) Bush, its through Dar al-Islam that securing these rights is also the surest way to secure peace. It is only through a world under Islam that there can be societies where citizens can express their conscience and worship their Allah and will not export violence, where they will be partners in peace. Boy, I could sure make a great Jew-killing Muslim wouldn't I? READ SOME HADITHS AND STUDY THE CONCEPT OF JIHAD MR. PRESIDENT, THEN GET A CLUE!
.
The fundamental insight, that freedom yields peace, is the great lesson of the 20th century. Now our task is to apply it to the 21st. Nowhere is this work more urgent than here in the Middle East. We must stand with the reformers working to break the old patterns of tyranny and despair. We must give voice to millions of ordinary people who dream of a better life in a free society. We must confront the moral relativism that views all forms of government as equally acceptable and thereby consigns whole societies to slavery. Above all, we must have faith in our values and ourselves and confidently pursue the expansion of liberty as the path to a peaceful future.
Are you calling the Holocaust denying, terrorist supporting, terrorism-prompting, terrorist praising, Israel-death-wishing Mahmoud Abbas a reformer? Are you Mr. President? Let's just have faith in our peace-process that gives "expansion of liberty" - to the terrorists as the peace process did for them in Gaza and the soon to follow West Bank, right Mr. President?
.
That future will be a dramatic departure from the Middle East of today. So as we mark 60 years from Israel's founding, let us try to envision the region 60 years from now. This vision is not going to arrive easily or overnight; it will encounter violent resistance. But if we and future Presidents and future Knessets maintain our resolve and have faith in our ideals, here is the Middle East that we can see:

Israel will be celebrating the 120th anniversary as one of the world's great democracies, a secure and flourishing homeland for the Jewish people. The Palestinian people will have the homeland they have long dreamed of and deserved -- a democratic state that is governed by law, and respects human rights, and rejects terror. From Cairo to Riyadh to Baghdad and Beirut, people will live in free and independent societies, where a desire for peace is reinforced by ties of diplomacy and tourism and trade. Iran and Syria will be peaceful nations, with today's oppression a distant memory and where people are free to speak their minds and develop their God-given talents. Al Qaeda and Hezbollah and Hamas will be defeated, as Muslims across the region recognize the emptiness of the terrorists' vision and the injustice of their cause.
It must first be understood that before Al-Qaeda , Hezbollah, and Hamas can be defeated, "true Islam" by which these groups aspire, must be defeated. There will always be Islamic movements that views the Koran and hadiths in their literal form that will inspire them to continue global jihad. Until America is willing to after Islam itself rather than trying to change to structure of Islam to fit the Kafir-West's view as to what Islam should be, there will be no need to worry about defeating Islamic terrorist groups because it will never happen! Only by going after Islam itself can one spray the base (as in Al-Qaeda) of the fire of global jiihad. Only the Messianic Age will bring about the end of Islam, and not by a nation whose democracy denies God's laws while giveing American "freedom" to sin. It is interesting that before the Israelis sent a rocket right up his Islamic terroristic loins on that wonderful and glorious day of March 22, 2004, Sheikh Ahmed Yassin (damnation be upon him) predicted through Islamic inspiration that Israel would be destroyed by Islamic power by the year 2027 http://www.infoisrael.net/cgi-local/text.pl?source=4/b/i/archives/280320042 I have to wonder who has more dedication and inspiration for their holy quest, you Mr. President or men like Yassin?

Overall, the Middle East will be characterized by a new period of tolerance and integration. And this doesn't mean that Israel and its neighbors will be best of friends. But when leaders across the region answer to their people, they will focus their energies on schools and jobs, not on rocket attacks and suicide bombings. With this change, Israel will open a new hopeful chapter in which its people can live a normal life, and the dream of Herzl and the founders of 1948 can be fully and finally realized.

This is a bold vision, and some will say it can never be achieved. But think about what we have witnessed in our own time. When Europe was destroying itself through total war and genocide, it was difficult to envision a continent that six decades later would be free and at peace. When Japanese pilots were flying suicide missions into American battleships, it seemed impossible that six decades later Japan would be a democracy, a lynchpin of security in Asia, and one of America's closest friends. And when waves of refugees arrived here in the desert with nothing, surrounded by hostile armies, it was almost unimaginable that Israel would grow into one of the freest and most successful nations on the earth.
The Bible's end-time focus is not upon nations fighting each other, that has been going on since there was nations. The Bible's end-time focus is on all the nations coming against Israel and Jerusalem (Zachariah 14:2) by which the United States has its part via the Quartet (USA, Russia, United Nations, European Union).

Yet each one of these transformations took place. And a future of transformation is possible in the Middle East, so long as a new generation of leaders has the courage to defeat the enemies of freedom, to make the hard choices necessary for peace, and stand firm on the solid rock of universal values.

Sixty years ago, on the eve of Israel's independence, the last British soldiers departing Jerusalem stopped at a building in the Jewish quarter of the Old City. An officer knocked on the door and met a senior rabbi. The officer presented him with a short iron bar -- the key to the Zion Gate -- and said it was the first time in 18 centuries that a key to the gates of Jerusalem had belonged to a Jew. His hands trembling, the rabbi offered a prayer of thanksgiving to God, "Who had granted us life and permitted us to reach this day." Then he turned to the officer, and uttered the words Jews had awaited for so long: "I accept this key in the name of my people."
Another testimony (coming from a leading Gentile) that the nation of Israel is indeed a modern miracle among the nations!

Over the past six decades, the Jewish people have established a state that would make that humble rabbi proud. You have raised a modern society in the Promised Land, a light unto the nations that preserves the legacy of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob. And you have built a mighty democracy that will endure forever and can always count on the United States of America to be at your side. God bless. (Applause.)
Such great words coming from a pro-Palestinian state Gentile leader!

President Bush Needs to be Educated on Real Islam

Recently President Bush became the first president to appoint a special envoy to the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC), which represents 57 Muslim countries. This appointment is just another strategy step in his "war on terror" campaign. His plan includes the willful attempt to appease as much as possible what he thinks to be the non-radical Muslims of the world. When the President is not off visiting a mosque in order to call Islam a "religion of peace" at every chance he gets, he's sending Condolisa Rice to the Middle East to push for the Roadmap plan to appease the Saudis and the rest of the Islamic world in hopes that they'll support the war campaign in Iraq.

If it wasn't for congress putting their foot down, Bush's Islamic Appeasment Plan (a.k.a. "War on Terror") would have allowed a company out of Dubai to be in charge of our seaport security. This was the same city from which the Pakistani named A.K. Khan distributed his nuclear products into other Muslim countries. The question then becomes, will this "appeasement of Muslims" strategy work in the best interest of the United States (a.k.a. the great Satan) and for our strongest ally in the Middle East and in the world, Israel (a.k.a. the little Satan)?

The answer is absolutely "no" because America can in no way change the inner nature of the Islamic world as a whole! Also, true peace in the Middle East cannot come about when trying to build that peace upon a foundation of lies, and any success you might have initially will only be short lived. President Bush makes the tragic mistake of thinking that Islam is just another religion like Christianity where it can be separated from the government, and that Islamic governments can be democratized. They can't.

Islam has its own political ideology within the religion itself and it's by far a democratic one. President Bush obvious believes that the Islamic culture as a whole, operates in the same goals and mindset along the same lines of Western values even believing that Mohammed was a proponent of democracy in his day. It is a mistake to believe that the Islamic world will be satisfied with what the average Westerner would be satisfied with.

In Islam there are only two worlds: Dar al-Islam (the world of Islam) and Dar al-harb (the world that is at constant war with the world of Islam - namely the Western nations). There is no "can't we all just get along" in between! Any government operating outside of sharia law that includes "freedom of religion" undermines the Islamic Dar al-harb / Dar al-Islam concepts. If you are not a Muslim, then you are part of the Dar al-harb that every Muslim has the duty to jihad against and that jihad must continue until every religion falls subject to Allah (Koran: sura 8:39). Any appeasement that is given to Islamic demands (such as a Palestinian state in the ancient homeland of Israel) is seen as a Dar al-harb weakness that is mentioned in the Koran, and only contributes to Dar al-Isalm in its jihad against Dar al-harb.

On September 17, 2001 just six days after the tragedy of 9/11, President Bush addressed the nation from the Islamic Center of Washington, D.C. while Islamic leaders were gathered around him. There he attempted to reassure the American people that Islam is a peaceful religion instead of the very religion of the 9/11 terrorist. He starts off by saying, “These acts of violence against innocents violate the fundamental tenets of the Islamic faith. And it's important for my fellow Americans to understand that.”

Right away questions start going off in my head as I heard this willfully ignorant statement coming from our president’s lips. First of all, how is George W. Bush being the kafir (unbeliever) that he is, qualified to make any such statement about fundamental tenets of Islam? Just how much, and how often, and from what sources has this man studied Islam in ideology, culture, and history? How familiar is he with what the major learning institutions and noted religious schools of Islam teaches their own people in these categories? Does his election into an office of a Christian nation by the vast majority of Christians somehow vindicate him as some sort of an expert on Islam?

What is really important for his fellow Americans to know is that Muhammad spread his Islam throughout Arabia according to the Islamic historian Ibn Ishaq (703-773) by the way of 27 jihads, banishment, stealing lands and property, and political assassinations. They need to know that many times throughout the Koran and hadiths Mohammad used the term "cast terror in their hearts" concerning those who opposed his message. And who are the ones doing the casting of terror into their hearts? Could it possibly be the "terrorist"?

So much for violent acts upon the innocent being against the tenets of Islam, for it is through the actions of Mohammad that the Islamic law (sharia) culture, and ideology stems. I have news for President Bush; the Arabic word "jihad" is not a new invention of the Islamic terrorist! Islam is a word that is deeply embedded within Islam as a religion, the Koran as Islam's most holiest book, the authoritative hadiths, and of course Islam's long history and culture.

Instead of calling Islam peaceful, President Bush's "war on terrorism" should include the very tenets of Islam that does cause violent acts (terrorism) against the innocent! Bush needs to realize that any war on terror is in reality a war of civilizations and that the war on terror naturally should included the very foundation of Islam itself! Oh, that would be too politically incorrect and it might even offend the oil-supplying Saudis who just so happens to purchase 80% of Britain's arm sales. Is the West suppose to try to put out the flames of terrorism by spraying the tip of its flames instead of spraying the base of its fire, right Mr. President?

There can be a lot said about Islam being a religion of peace. There is not one of the 9/11 hijackers nor any other Islamic terrorist in the world that would disagree with President Bush concerning Islam being a religion of peace. Bush's kafir-democratic depiction of Islam and the true Allah-submitters (Muslims) depiction of Islam of just how they are peaceful are what are worlds apart. Take a look at the following excerpt from an Islamic radical named Sayyid Quib (know as the Martin Luther of Islam) and notice his inspiration behind his words that is sure to ignite the jihadic seed laying dormant within the seemingly peaceful moderate Muslim:

The Jihad of Islam is to secure complete freedom for every man throughout the world by releasing him from servitude to other human beings so that he may serve Allah……This is in itself a sufficient reason for Jihad. These were the only reasons in the hearts of Muslims warriors. If they had been asked the question, “Why are you fighting ?” none would have answered, “My country is in danger; I’m fighting for its defense,” or, “The Persians and the Romans have come upon us” or, “We want to extend our dominion and want more spoils.”
They would have answered the same as Rabai bin Amer, Huzaifa bin Muhsin and Mughir abin Sh’ba answered the Persian General Rustum when he asked them one by one during three successive days preceding the battle of Qadisiyyah: “For what purpose have you come?” Their answer was the same: “Allah has sent us to bring anyone who wishes from servitude to men into the service of Allah alone, from the narrowness of this world into the vastness of this world and the Hereafter, and from the tyranny of religions into the justice of Islam. Allah raised a messenger for this purpose to teach his creatures his way. If anyone accepts this way of life, we turn back and give his country back to him, and we fight with those who rebel until we are martyred or become victorious.”
…The reason for Jihad exists in the nature of its message and in the actual conditions it finds in human societies, and not merely in the necessity for defense…
Those who say that Islamic Jihad was merely for defense of the “homeland of Islam” diminish the greatness of the Islamic way of life and consider it less important than their ‘homeland’. This is not the Islamic point of view, and their view is a creation of the modern age and is completely alien to Islamic consciousness.”

After giving his remarks of defending the fundamentals tenets of Islam, Bush then began to quote a text out of the Koran as if he was well versed in the Koran and just happened to pull out a verse that he personally thought would be appropriate for such an Islam-defending occasion and to convince the American people that Islam is truly not what the terrorist of 9/11 are all about:
“The English translation is not as eloquent as the original Arabic, but let me quote from the Koran, itself: In the long run, evil in the extreme will be the end of those who do evil. For that they rejected the signs of Allah and held them up to ridicule.”

I’m sure the mullahs and imams of the whole Islamic world got a great huge laugh out of seeing this ignorant president of the United States quote a condemning passage from the Koran that actually pertains to himself! Bush quoted Sura 30:10 referring it to the 9/11 terrorist, which in fact refers to the Quraysh tribesmen who were not accepting Muhammad's new religion.
In this passage of the Koran, it is speaking of the judgment day to come where all those who have rejected the Islamic god of Allah (including George W. Bush - the “W” perhaps should stand for ‘willfully rejecting Allah’).

According to the text these unbelievers will have evil (hell’s flames) put on them. I would venture to bet that Bush has never even read, or much less, has never studied the Koran and its corresponding hadith. He certainly didn't know the context of the verse he quoted. On that day that President Bush was addressing the nation, just six days after the 9/11 attacks, Bush was probably given a verse from the Koran at his request that he could read to the American people that in his mind would show how Islam amongst all the terrorist tragedy, was still indeed a religion of peace. I would further bet that the verse was given him by some Muslim cleric who inwardly would like to see America be subjected to sharia law. If Bush had been a Koran reader he would have known that the context he referred to would include himself as a “non-believer” in Islam. It is just two and six verses later of sura 30:10 that it becomes very clear who the Koran depicts as to who these “evil doers” are:

And the Day when the hour comes, the guilty will despair. Those who disbelieved and rejected our messages (non-Muslims) and the meeting of the Hereafter, they will be given over to punishment. - Sura 30:12,16

What Bush needs is ex-Muslims like Walid Shoebat or Mark A. Gabriel on his advisory board. Maybe then he might be able to understand that the terrorist are the true torch-bearers of the Islamic religion and not the so-called, ever-so-silent moderates. There is a reason why the jihadist scream louder than the moderates to the place that they are willing to die for their religion, and it's not because they have a simple misunderstanding of the Koran and hadith. No, you will never find a suicide bomber who is moderately into their Koran. However, you will find them making their farewell video holding a Koran in one hand and a machine-gun or a grenade in the other.

As long as Bush continues to believe that the US foreign policy can somehow change Islam's long violent history where Mohammad's jihadic nature as the excellent example to the Muslim believers is unconsidered among Muslim believers, he will reap the Islamic-radical advancement both here and abroad. Hamas took full control of Gaza because Bush ignorantly envisioned a Palestinian state living side by side in peace with Israel, which would be totally un-Islamic in the first place! In trying to please the Saudis, Bush pressured Israel to make Gaza Jew-free. Gaza in return became Hamas-full, where Allah was praised due to American and Israeli weaknesses.

The sad part is that anyone with just a little knowledge of the Koran and hadith could foresee Gaza's outcome from a mile off. President Bush would perhaps be a lot better off in his decision-making towards national security and the Middle East if he knew his Koran only half as much as he let on to know it, just six days after 9/11?
