The Watchman On The Wall

The Watchman On The Wall
Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Verse 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Joe Biden Was Right

Taliban with Children




Joe Biden was correct, this is the 108th day of Obama’s presidency and he has a major foreign policy crisis on his hands. The nation of Pakistan is on the brink of falling apart. This was my worst fear when Pervez Musharraf was driven from office.

(Musharraf has been traveling abroad since April and has shown no inclination of returning to Pakistan. Like the Shah of Iran, the U.S. will regret the day we did not support our friend Musharraf. I would speculate he will never return because his life is in danger.)

If the Pakistani Army cannot stop the Taliban and Al Qaeda (AQ) in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) our strategic interest in Pakistan will be severely crippled. The Pakistani army is simply not equipped, nor use to fighting a guerrilla force like the Taliban. The Taliban are using human shields as cover and fighting in urban areas so that the Pakistani army is force to inflict heavy civilian casualties. Furthermore, AQ is providing support and troops in the fight against the Pakistani government.

Mr. President, this is not the place to commit our troops. It would be an absolute quagmire for our military, a losing situation for our military that is already stretched thin. Our best tactical option is to use standoff warfare and hit the Taliban and AQ with missiles.

500,000 Pakistanis are fleeing the fighting in the Swat Valley and along the long border with Afghanistan. One million people are now displaced in northwestern Pakistan. Terrified Pakistanis are dodging Taliban roadblocks to flee fighting between the army and insurgents in a northwestern valley. Pakistanis are streaming into refugee camps and crowding hospitals with their fatigued and hungry children.

This situation is critical because Pakistan possesses 50 to 100 nuclear weapons. We must somehow ensure the security of Pakistan’s nuclear weapons. A.Q. Khan, “the father of the Pakistani bomb” will certainly give the bomb to AQ or Iran because he wants to spread the “Islamic bomb”.

Insecurity in Pakistan also creates great fear in nuclear India. So far the Indians have not said much about the situation in FATA publicly.

Meanwhile Pakistan's embattled president appealed to Washington for more help to reverse the expansion of Taliban-held territory to within 60 miles of the capital, Islamabad.

On Thursday, several thousand men, women and children poured through Swat's main town, Mingora, in search of safety.

The hospitals in Mardan treated dozens of civilians with serious gunshot and shrapnel wounds.

Yar Mohammad, a 50-year-old stonemason said, "Now I am seeing the buildings that I have helped to construct being blown up and destroyed." He had "poured his blood" and his best years into the development of Swat, once a haven for tourists drawn to its Alpine-like scenery.

Some residents complained that the Taliban had blocked their escape. Ayaz Khan said he loaded his family into his car Thursday in the Kanju area of Swat only to find rocks, boulders and tree trunks laid across the roads, forcing him to turn back.

Military operations are taking place in three districts that stretch over some 400 square miles. Much of the fighting has been in the Swat Valley's main city of Mingora, a militant hub that is home to around 360,000 people. Witnesses said armed Taliban militants were roaming the streets of Mingora and would not let civilians leave. Pakistani troops fired artillery and helicopters launched air strikes on militant targets in the area. General Ashfaz Parvez Kayani, the chief of Pakistan's army, said the army would commit enough of its resources to "ensure a decisive ascendancy over the militants."

But some frustrated people said there was no sign of a major military push in Swat. Yar Mohammed added, "If the government, the army wants to control and crush the Taliban, why don't they send ground troops to flush them out? Why they are only shelling people, which hurts the public most of all and creates anti-government feeling?"

Pakistan has launched at least a dozen operations in the border region in recent years and most ended inconclusively and after massive destruction and significant civilian deaths. The tribal territory is a haven for AQ and the Taliban. The Swat peace accord between the Pakistani government and the Taliban, reached in February, began unraveling last month when Taliban fighters moved into Buner, even closer to Islamabad. Troops are also fighting the Taliban and AQ in the nearby Dir region. Every peace accord between the Pakistani government and the Taliban or tribesmen in the frontier area has failed.

A spokesman for Sufi Muhammad, the cleric who helped put together the peace deal, said Muhammad's son died in army shelling in Dir late Wednesday.

Izzat Khan accused the government of unleashing the army "to appease America and get dollars," a common view among Pakistanis. This view is strengthened by the coincidence of the latest fighting with Zardari's high-profile visit to Washington.

Keep Your Eyes on Jerusalem V

Derecho (Spanish meaning Straight)
Derecho

Fires in Santa Barbara, CA
Biden Insults Israel
US Vice President Joe Biden and Senator John Kerry stepped up pressure on Israel’s new government on Tuesday to accept the goal of a Palestinian state and halt the expansion of Jewish settlements on the occupied land.

Biden spoke at the annual policy conference of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and said, “Israel’s security is non-negotiable but Israel has to work toward a two-state solution. The US would continue to provide Israel the assistance it needs and allow it to make its own judgments about what it must do to defend itself. You’re not going to like my saying this, but do not build more settlements, dismantle existing outposts and allow Palestinians the freedom of movement.” Here is my translation of what Biden said: You Israelis will do what Obama tells you or else and I am lying to you about your security, you will learn to live with murderous Muslims.

Biden called on the Arab states to support and fund Palestinian security and other institutions in the West Bank. The radical terrorist group Hamas controls the Gaza Strip and routinely attacks Fatah, Mahmoud Abba’s group.

Biden added, “Now is the time for the Arab states to make meaningful gestures to show the Israeli leadership and the Israeli people that the promise of ending Israel’s isolation in the region is real and genuine. They must take action now.” Here is my translation of what Arabs will tell Obama: Sure we will do a peace treaty with Israel on our terms. Mr. Biden, a peace treaty with Hamas, Iran or Hizbullah isn’t worth the paper it is written on.

John Kerry, a Democrat, made specific pleas to the Arab states when he spoke to the conference. He urged the Arab states to start “treating Israel like a normal country, end the boycott, let El Al fly over their countries and meet Israeli leaders.” Kerry added, “lack of support from the Arab states” was a key reason for the failure of the Palestinian-Israeli peace talks in 2000 and the years of violence. My translation: Mr. Kerry some of these Arabs are Nazis bent on pushing the Jews into sea.

Kerry welcomed the Arab peace initiative of 2002, which called for normalizing ties with Israel in exchange for the Jewish state ending the occupation of Arab lands seized in 1967. Kerry said, “Arabs cannot wait for Israel to make all the sacrifices” for improving relations, Kerry said. “They (Arabs) should start doing so right now.”

Biden also focused on the Obama administration’s efforts to persuade Iran to abandon its nuclear program, which Israel sees as a threat to its existence. Biden said, “We will pursue direct, principled diplomacy with Iran with the overriding goal of preventing it from acquiring nuclear weapons. The US will approach Iran initially in the spirit of mutual respect. We want Iran to take its rightful place in the community of nations politically and economically.” My translation: We will talk to the Iranians like we have talked to North Koreans. We will talk forever and in the end accomplish nothing. Mr. Biden have you read about “twelvers?” The mullahs and theocrats in Iran are not rational human beings. They want chaos, they want apocalypse now. The Obama administration is violating the first principle of diplomacy: know your enemy.
In response to Biden and Kerry, Hamas leader Khaleed Meshaal said that Hamas could support a two-state solution with Israel based on the 1967 borders, but repeated it was not prepared to recognize the Jewish state. Mr. Biden and Kerry listen to Meshaal he will never recognize Israel.

Meshaal said, “We support a two-state solution on the 1967 borders, based on a long-term truce,” he told the NYT. “This includes East Jerusalem, the dismantling of settlements and the right of return of the Palestinian refugees. Asked as to what was meant by “long-term,” Meshaal said it meant “10 years.”

It seems that when Meshaal mentions a 10 year peace treaty with Israel he is referring to the brief peace treaty ushered in by the anti-Christ between Israel and its enemies. This is the false peace the apostle John wrote about in the Book of Revelation. Once again Meshaal refuses to acknowledge Israel’s right to exist. So the Obama administration expects Israel to give up land in exchange for no security and no right to exist, only an Utopian Democratic socialist would do such a thing!

Furthermore, Israel would be overwhelmed if all the Arabs returned to Israel. Khaleed, what about all the Jews kicked out of Muslim lands in 1948 and since? Do the 800,000 Jews get to return to their homes? Do they get their property back?

Meanwhile, our politicians are bringing the wrath of God down on the United States. It is not a coincidence that each time President Obama, Joe Biden, John Kerry or someone else in the administration talks about giving up Israel’s land that severe weather or some other catastrophe batters the United States.

For example, an out-of-control, wind-driven wildfire bore down on Santa Barbara on Wednesday, destroying some 20 homes in the foothills, forcing thousands of residents to evacuate and injuring three firefighters.

The fire, which ignited in the dry brush on Tuesday and might be arson, has blackened some 500 acres around Santa Barbara. The fire has left behind burned out shells where multimillion-dollar mansions once stood. At least 20 homes have been burned to the ground.

Other neighborhoods are in jeopardy as more than 900 firefighters struggle to make headway against flames whipped by hot, dry Santa Ana winds through steep and sometimes inaccessible canyons.

Fire spokesman David Sadecki said, "We are in a state of extreme emergency, " this blaze is very difficult to fight because of the "extreme weather." Temperatures are over 100 degrees Fahrenheit and winds are gusting at up to 50 miles per hour.

Fourteen strike teams, including 70 engines and three helicopters, battled the blaze. The helicopters, normally grounded after dark, continued dropping water on the fire for much of the night.

The three firefighters suffered burns and respiratory injuries when their engine was engulfed in flame. Their hoses burned through as they tried to protect a home.

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger declared a state of emergency for Santa Barbara County.

The fire slowed as winds eased late on Wednesday night but officials worried that it was burning in the direction of downtown Santa Barbara and residents were told they might need to evacuate overnight.

The firefighters were hoping for a break from the weather on Thursday, but weathermen predicted that the Santa Ana winds, which blow in from the California desert, would persist at least another day.

Santa Barbara County asked for aid from fire crews across the state and they expected help some 100 engines and 400 firefighters, although other California communities were keeping a wary on their own dry hillsides. Approximately 38% of California has been under drought conditions for the last three years.

The fire began Tuesday afternoon in the foothills above San Roque Canyon and grew quickly grew. Six months ago, a wind-driven, 2,000-acre blaze destroyed more than 200homes in Santa Barbara and neighboring Montecito.

After the presidential election on 4 November 2008 homosexuals marched throughout California protesting the defeat of proposition 8 outlawing homosexual marriage. Shortly thereafter huge fires break out in L.A. area. Since June 2008 fires in California have cost the state over $300 million. The state of California is now over $250 million in debt from fires.

Elsewhere, crews near Ft. Huachuca and Sierra Vista, AZ were battling a wildfire that had burned four or five homes and injured one person. The fire had charred about 4,200 acres of rolling grassland, dry brush and scattered trees near Fort Huachuca, and containment was rated at zero late Tuesday. Three homes and several vehicles and outbuildings were torched.

Severe weather has pummeled Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia. These five states have been hit with 30 tornadoes since Friday. There is flooding from Oklahoma to West Virginia. A micro blast collapsed the Dallas Cowboys practice tent and paralyzed a coach.

A Derecho, two are pictured above, is a deadly and spectacular weather phenomenon that has also appeared. A Derecho is a straight long line of thunderstorms with extreme winds. Tornadoes are vertical in nature while a Derecho is horizontal in nature. A Derecho can extend for 800 miles and can be 250 miles wide with downward winds of 130 MPH. Derechos can travel at 50 to 70 MPH and keep going for days.

Huge thunderstorms are expected Thursday from Dallas, TX to Atlanta, GA. These thunderstorms will pack damaging, winds, torrential downpours with heavy flooding, large hail and tornadoes

The following cities could also post a record for highest temperature on 7 May:
Orlando, FL 94
Laredo, TX 109
Lubbock, TX 102
Albuquerque, NM 93
Midland, TX 108

Bottom Line: We are in desperate need of prayers for our nation on this National Day of Prayer. Lord, we ask for your forgiveness for all of our sins. The pace of supernatural events is picking up in intensity and each of us needs to be prepared for Yeshua's glorious and triumphant return!

Robert Malley Part 1

Robert Malley



Once again the Grassroot Conservative spotlights another surrogate and sycophant of George Soros and one of Barack Obama’s radical fellow travelers. The Grassroot Conservative believes unelected people who have hidden, sinister and anti-American agendas, are directing our government. These people are doing great harm to our nation and endangering American citizens.

Robert Malley was born in 1963 to Barbara (née Silverstein) Malley, a New Yorker who worked for the United Nations delegation of the Algerian National Liberation Front (FLN). Robert’s father, Simon Malley (1923–2006), was an Egyptian-born Jewish journalist who grew up in Egypt and worked as a foreign correspondent for Al Goumhourya, Gamal Abdul Nasser's official government newspaper. Simon Malley was a key figure in the Egyptian Communist Party. Simon hated Israel and was a close friend of Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) terrorist leader Yasser Arafat. He also helped put the FLN on the world map.

Simon was a constant critic of “Western imperialism” and supported revolutionary “national liberation movements” around the world including, of course, the PLO. Simon Malley received Soviet funding and he supported the 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

In 1969 the Malleys moved to France and Simon founded the magazine Africasia which trumpeted the causes of the newly-independent states such as Algeria and Egypt, and left-wing national liberation movements around the world.

The Malleys lived in France until 1980, when President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing expelled Simon Malley from the country. The Grassroot Conservative does not know why Malley was expelled. Simon Malley spent time in Geneva, Switzerland and returned to France after François Mitterrand's election.

Simon’s son, Robert Malley attended Yale University, and was a 1984 Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University, where he earned a Ph.D. in political philosophy. There he wrote his doctoral thesis about Third-worldism and its decline. Robert wrote on foreign policy topics, but focused on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He earned a J.D. at Harvard Law School, where he met his future wife, Caroline Brown. Barack Obama was Malley’s fellow law school student and colleague.

In 1991-1992, Malley clerked for Supreme Court Justice Byron White, his wife clerked for Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor.

After his Supreme Court clerkship, Malley became a Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations where he published The Call From Algeria: Third Worldism, Revolution, and the Turn to Islam. This book charts Algerian politics from 1900 to the present. He explored the historical and intellectual underpinnings of the crisis in Algeria. His book received critical acclaim from leftists.

Malley served in the Clinton administration as Director for Democracy, Human Rights and Humanitarian Affairs at the National Security Council from 1994–1996. In that post he helped coordinate refugee policy, promoted democracy and human rights abroad and helped direct U.S. policy toward Cuba. From 1996-1998 he was Executive Assistant to National Security Advisor Samuel Berger. (Remember Berger, he took classified U.S. documents home with him.) In October 1998 Malley was appointed Special Assistant to President Clinton for Arab-Israeli Affairs, a post he held until the end of the administration in 2001.

After the Clinton administration, Malley became Senior Policy Advisor for the Center for Middle East Peace and Economic Development in Washington, D.C. He later became Program Director for Middle East and North Africa at the International Crisis Group (ICG) in Washington, D.C., and supervised the Center’s analysts in Amman, Cairo, Beirut, Tel Aviv and Baghdad. Malley and his analysts covered events from Iran to Morocco but focused heavily on the Arab-Israeli conflict, the situation in Iraq, Islamic movements in the Middle East and developments in the U.S. that affect policy toward the Middle East.

Thursday 7 May - National Day of Prayer

George Washington Praying at Valley Forge


Each year the first Thursday in May is the National Day of Prayer, a day that encourages Americans to pray for the United States, it’s people, and its leaders.

My fellow citizens, our nation desperately needs our prayers. We are surrounded by a host of domestic and international threats. The nation faces an epidemic of depression, violence and lawlessness springing from the spirit of the anti-Christ that is growing in our nation. We no longer have the benefit of two oceans to protect us in the age of ICBMs. Additionally, we need to pray that the next choice for the U.S. Supreme Court will be a Christian. This judge will play a crucial role in our nation’s future.

The tradition of a National Day of Prayer dates to 1775, when the Second Continental Congress set aside a day for Americans to pray to “be ever under the care and protection of a kind Providence” as they began the struggle for independence. In the following decades, Congress and the president set aside various days for prayer. In 1863, for example, Lincoln proclaimed “a day of national humiliation, fasting, and prayer” to help the country get through “the awful calamity of civil war” and for “the restoration of our now divided and suffering Country to its former happy condition of unity and peace.”

Likewise today our nation is engaged in a Global War against Terrorism. Today’s terrorists are both domestic and international and know no bounds of human decency. Our soldiers are spread around the world and need your prayers to uplift them in their difficult tasks. Pray for the returning combat veterans who have a difficult time coping with stress and re-adjusting to peacetime; pray for our wounded soldiers and the families of deceased soldiers who bear the awful burden of having lost a child; pray that we find American contractors, like Tim Bell, who is missing in Iraq.

In 1952 Congress and President Truman established a National Day of Prayer as a yearly event. President Truman called for a day “on which all of us in our churches, in our homes, and in our hearts, may beseech God to grant us wisdom to know the course which we should follow, and strength and patience to pursue that course steadfastly.”

In 1988 President Reagan designated the first Thursday in May as the National Day of Prayer, urging Americans to ask God for “His blessings, His peace, and the resting of His kind and holy hands on ourselves, our Nation, our friends in the defense of freedom, and all mankind, now and always.”

Some of our citizens have chosen to forget about God. We can restore this nation if we repent and turn to God again.

Finally, we need to get on our knees and thank the Lord for being born in the greatest country in the world. Our nation has been blessed with bounties beyond belief. Each of us could just as easily been born in some hellhole elsewhere in the world.

Middle East Update

Herod's Temple
Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah



LEBANON
Hizbullah stands a good chance of winning Lebanon's June 7 parliamentary elections. That could mean a stunning shake-up for one of the Middle East's most volatile countries, replacing a pro-US government with a coalition dominated from behind the scenes by Hizbullah, the proxy of Iran and Syria in Lebanon.

The US ambassador in Beirut has expressed concern, and Hizbullah's opponents warn that the West will isolate Lebanon and Washington will reduce its millions in aid.

Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah’s deputy, Sheikh Naim Kassem, says the West will have to accept the election results. Kassem said foreign diplomats are already approaching Hizbullah, "some wanting to open a new page." Britain has said it is willing to talk to Hizbullah's "political wing" and a Hizbullah member of the current parliament recently traveled to London.

A Hizbullah win would mean changes that would dismay the West and Israel. It would mean less pressure from Lebanon's government to rein in Hizbullah's arsenal of rockets pointed at the Jewish state and more backing for efforts to change Lebanon's electoral system to solidify Shi'ite power further.
Iran and Syria will succeed in adding Lebanon to their bloc; it would be a huge defeat for the West.

Lebanon has a complex political system, no group can rule alone. The 128-member legislature must be half Christian and half-Muslim, with the Christians divided among Orthodox and Catholic parties and Muslims among Shi'ite, Sunni, Druse and Alawite sects. Moreover, in any government, the prime minister must be a Sunni, so Hizbullah would need allies from that sect.
Lebanon's population of 4 million is roughly divided in thirds between Christians, Sunnis and Shi'ites, with smaller sects mixed in. The exact numbers are unknown because a census would be too politically risky - the last one was held in 1932.

The pro-US bloc - largely Sunnis with Christian allies - holds 70 seats in the 128-member parliament, so a handful of races could tip the balance.

The leader of the pro-US bloc, Sunni billionaire Saad Hariri, said a Hizbullah win would "put Lebanon into very difficult times," threatening its economic growth.

Since 2006, the United States has committed over a billion dollars to Lebanon, including $410 million to the country's security forces.

A victory by Hizbullah would push “The Party of God” to fulfill its campaign promise to eliminate the sectarian distribution of parliament seats, which would boost the power of the growing Shi'ite population. Hizbullah would also see a win as a mandate for its opposition to US Middle East policies and its strong anti-Israeli line.

ISRAEL
A classified assessment prepared for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Obama would diminish U.S. strategic cooperation with Israel. An Israeli official said, "Obama wants to make friends with our worst enemies and until now the worst enemies of the United States under Obama’s policy, we are more than irrelevant, we have become an obstacle."

Israeli sources say the Obama administration will reject Israel’s threat intelligence on Iran and Syria.

On April 20, Israeli military intelligence commander Maj. Gen. Amos Yadlin warned the Israeli cabinet that Obama was prepared to allow Iran to assemble nuclear weapons and support Hamas and Hizbullah. General Yadlin said, "Obama wants to advance the peace process in the direction of realistic discussions with extremist elements.” Obama will want to show Iran, Syria and radical Muslims that the United States can pressure Israel. The pressure has already begun and will intensify in the coming years.

Yadlin said Obama was courting the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad and that both Damascus and Tehran have not significantly reduced their support for insurgency groups in the region. Obama's policies have generated dismay among Arab allies of the United States. He said Arab countries such as Egypt and Saudi Arabia were concerned that U.S. reconciliation efforts would encourage Tehran and its proxies to intensify destabilization efforts. "The Arab world is starting to understand that Iranian proxies are a threat to the region," Yadlin said. "The Hizbullah activity in Egypt is not an isolated incident. Iran has infrastructures across the world seeking to perpetrate terror attacks against Israel."

At the same time, the Obama administration was expected to restrict U.S. arms exports to Israel in an effort to deny systems that could be used in any attack against Iran or Syria. The intelligence sources said this policy was implemented during the last year of the Bush administration and would intensify under Obama.

Yadlin said, "President Bashar Assad hopes to turn over a new leaf with U.S. President Barack Obama. However, while Western powers are being hosted at the palace in Damascus, Syria is continuing to be used as the back yard of the axis of evil. Assad is letting Hizbullah and Iranian forces freely conduct their affairs in Syria and use its territory for Hizbullah deployment."

The Israeli intelligence assessment envisioned that Obama would maintain his reconciliation policy with Iran and Syria through at least 2010. The sources said the assessment determined that Obama was convinced that such a policy would enable a U.S. withdrawal from Iraq and Afghanistan.

Sometime in 2010 the Iranians will have enough fissile material for a single nuclear weapon; the IAEA says 25 kilograms are necessary. The Iranians could use the fissile material for an underground explosion or wait a year or two and build up a stockpile of about 75 kilograms of fissile material and detonate a bomb above ground.

Personally I believe the Iranians will do an above ground detonation because it will make a bigger public relations splash and rally Muslim allies with news of an "Islamic Bomb".

The Iranians cannot place a nuclear weapon on a ballistic missile capable of reaching Israel. However, they could purchase that technology from North Korea. The Iranian air force is weak and limited in range so it is not the Iranian choice to strike Israel. However, the Russians are upgrading Iran's Air Force.

Israeli officials believe Iran will become a nuclear capable country next year, 2010. According to Secretary of Defense Robert Gates Iran will possess a nuclear weapon by 2013.

Obama's administration believes America can live with a nuclear-armed Iran and Neville Chamberlain told us he preserved peace in our times and that he signed a peace deal with Hitler. Israel will have to part ways with the Obama administration on this point. A nuclear Iran will be able to bend Jerusalem to the will of its radical enemies and neighbors.

Hosni Mubarak of Egypt, with Saudi backing, is standing up to the Iranians and their proxies Hamas and Hizbullah. In April 2009, the Egyptians reported they broken up a plot by a Hizbullah network that operated in Cairo and the Sinai Peninsula. The plotters planned to attack Mubarak and his regime.

Mubarak has criticized Washington's courtship of the revolutionary Islamic republic.

The Egyptians have accused Iran, Syria, Qatar, Hizbullah and Hamas of a conspiracy to overthrow Egyptian government and Nasrallah in Lebanon admitted to the plot to overthrow Mubarak.

Obama is not daunted by the radicalism or enmity of his new friends. At the Summit of All Americas, Obama greeted Hugo Chavez 24 hours after the Venezuelan ruler said: "The United States Empire is on its way down and will be finished in the near future, inshallah! (Allah willing)"

Venezuela and Israel recently severed ties because Chavez hosted a delegation of Hizbullah, an internationally branded a terrorist organization, in Caracas.

Obama continues to woo Bashar Assad of Syria despite Assad’s blunt refusal to loosen his strategic ties with Tehran and his refusal to stop supporting Hizbullah in Lebanon.

For the first time in years, the administration sent a high-ranking delegation to Syria's Independence Day celebrations at a Washington Hotel. Jeffrey Feltman, former ambassador and Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Near Eastern Affairs in the U.S. State Department, led the delegation.

Netanyahu gave a condition for peacemaking to George Mitchell. Netanyahu said that Israel be recognized as a Jewish state. Palestinian Authority leaders instantly rejected this condition. Of course, this got very little attention in Washington or the media.

Netanyahu will meet Obama in Washington this month. Netanyahu already knows Israel is no longer a prime factor in US global policy. The U.S. has fundamentally reshuffled its Middle East allegiances and alliances and in the long run the American people will suffer.

Chief of staff Rahm Emanuel told Jewish leaders that if Israel wants America's help for thwarting Iran's nuclear program, Israel must first start evacuating West Bank settlements.

So what options are left to Israel at this juncture?
1. To bow under to Obama tempest until it blows over. There will be a long wait for the Israelis in that option.
2. Netanyahu could follow Prime Minister Menahem Begin example from 1981. Begin stood up to Ronald Reagan's fierce objections and sent the Israeli Air force to smash the Iraqi nuclear reactor before it was operational. Saddam Hussein never rebuilt the facility. By following in Begin's footsteps before it is too late, Netanyahu would change the rules of the game regionally and globally.
3. Israel could go for a more modest target, one of Iran's faithful surrogates – Syria, Hamas or Hizbullah. If the Gaza offensive against Hamas last January was meant to send this message, it failed. Hamas is still the dominant Palestinian power and Barack Obama was not swayed from his new Middle East policy of appeasement with Iran and other radical world leaders.
4. Israel could decide to stand alone, as the Jews have done many times in history. That will be a sad day in history for the American people!

REBUILD THE JEWISH TEMPLE
Moshe Feiglin, head of the Jewish Leadership Movement said that if he were elected prime minister, he would try to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem. He said, "I don't know if I will have the merit of doing something that is the aspiration of every Jew but if I become prime minister I will take away control over the Temple Mount from the Wakf [the Islamic trust] and reinstate Jewish sovereignty over the entire mount and, hopefully, rebuild the Temple." Feiglin said that rebuilding the Temple and all that it symbolized was the essence of a Jewish state.

Feiglin said he still harbored ambitions of replacing Netanyahu and becoming Israel's next prime minister. Meanwhile, Rabbi Zalman Melamed, a leading spiritual leader of the settlement movement said he envisioned a time when a majority of Israelis would be religious. He said, "There is a steady process unfolding in which the state is gradually becoming more religious. There are growing numbers of newly religious families. There is a deep feeling that people want the redemption to arrive already. And part of that process will be the rebuilding of the Temple."

The death of Yeshua in 30 A.D. marked the end of the times of the Jews, or the time when one had to become a Jew to find God. For 40 years, Jewish believers, who were mostly in and around Jerusalem, continued in their Messianic faith. Gentiles, on the other hand, without taking on Jewish tradition, accepted lesous (the Greek spelling of Jesus) as Lord and Savior and continued to follow their Greek culture.
Then came the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. and the times of the Gentiles, which began with the death of Yeshua, emerged in its fullness after 40 years. The times of the Jews, which began to ebb with the captivities, heard its death knell with the crucifixion of Yeshua. It finally came to a total halt with the destruction of Jerusalem.

Keep Your Eyes on Jerusalem IV

Ms. Brooks can you tell the difference?
Israeli Mother and her Children Dodging Hamas Rocket
Hamas Child

Once again observe evil plans as Ms Brooks, a U.S. government official, made statements and plans concerning Israel and on 26 April Swine Flu mutates and breakouts in Mexico and avian flu mutates in Egypt.

On 21 April 2008 Rosa Brooks advisor to Michelle Fluornoy, the undersecretary of defense for policy attacked President Bush stating he "blindly" and "mindlessly" supported Israel. She said President Obama would be less willing to give the Jewish state "blank checks." Ms. Brooks at some point Israel will no longer need the United States. The sooner the Israelis realize they stand-alone the better they will be.

Ms. Brooks is a law professor at the Georgetown University Law Center, where she serves as director of the law school's Human Rights Center. She previously served as special counsel to the “power behind the throne” at Soros' Open Society Institute. She has consulted for Human Rights Watch and served as a board member of Amnesty International USA. She also worked as a columnist for the fourth establishment, the Los Angeles Times. Brooks deliberating distorts history to whitewash and apologize for Palestinian terrorism. Lord Haw Haw would have loved Ms. Brooks.

Brooks wrote that Al-Qaeda was an "obscure group" turned into a massive threat due to U.S. policies. Ms. Brooks obviously did not have relatives or friends On the USS Cole, in our east African embassies, Khobar Towers or the Marine barracks in Beirut. She's also referred to Bush as "our torturer in chief" and a "psychotic who needs treatment" while comparing Bush's arguments for waging a war on terrorism to Adolf Hitler's use of political propaganda. God help us, we are being led by educated idiots like Ms. Brooks. Brooks holds a position that wields enormous power over drafting U.S. military doctrine in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iraq.

In fact, I would maintain Ms. Brooks is George Soros' surrogate. Here we have a man and a powerful woman who have no elected standing in our government and yet they wield undue malevolent influence.

Brooks is one of those people who assert that Israel's actions in the Middle East fuel anti-American resentment from the Arab world. Brooks wrote, "Israeli policies are a major source of discord in the Islamic world, and anger at Israel usually spills over into anger at the U.S., Israel's biggest backer. With resentment of Israeli policies fueling terrorism and instability both in the Middle East and around the globe, it's past time for Americans to have a serious national debate about how to bring a just peace to the Middle East. Brooks continued "But if criticism of Israel is out of bounds, that debate can't occur – and we'll all pay the price."

What fuels anti-American resentment is evil Ms. Brooks. I know it is hard for you and Nazi sympathizer Soros to comprehend evil. For example, you simply forgot key facts concerning Israel's war in 2006 against the Hizbullah. The conflict broke out when Hizbullah fired rockets at Israel and then launched a border raid in which Hizbullah killed Israeli troops, kidnapped two more soldiers and then kept firing mortars and rockets into Jewish civilian population zones. Jealousy also fuels Hamas and Hizbullah hatred and violence. There are Arabs and Muslims who are jealous of Israeli economic success. They are jealous of what Israel has accomplished in 60 years while Palestinians continue to languish in refugee camps.

Brooks also grossly distorted the historical record by claiming former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was to blame for the failure of U.S.-brokered Israeli-Palestinian negotiations that culminated in a summit at Camp David in 2000. The talks briefly continued into 2001 but broke down in late January after Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat refused an Israeli offer of a Palestinian state in the Gaza Strip, West Bank and eastern Jerusalem. Instead, Arafat launched the "intifada" or terrorist war, aimed at liberating "Palestine" through violence. Ms. Brooks Arafat was a coward, he knew if he took that peace deal to his fellow Arabs and Muslims he would be a dead man like Anwar Sadat. Arafat could accept nothing less than pushing the Jews into the sea.

Ms. Brooks, even President Bill Clinton blamed Arafat so why don’t you quit revising history. Ms. Brooks if you watch the video of Clinton, Barak and Arafat walking at Camp David Arafat keeps a safe distance from Barak. Arafat sent a very careful subliminal message to his people back home – I am dealing the Jew, I want no part of him.

Sharon, perceived as a defense hawk, was elected almost two weeks after the talks collapsed and on the heels of a major Palestinian terrorist campaign. The Palestinians claimed Israel's gestures, under Prime Minister Ehud Barak, didn't go far enough. Ms. Brooks even the Palestinians did not finger Sharon's election as the cause of the collapse, since the talks imploded prior to the election. But according to Brooks, "Israel and the Palestinian Authority came achingly close to a final settlement, but talks broke down after Likud's Ariel Sharon was elected prime minister on Feb. 6, 2001. Sharon refused to meet with Yasser Arafat, and newly inaugurated President George W. Bush had no interest in pushing Israel toward peace."

Brooks has also slammed Israel's 22-day military campaign against Hamas in the Gaza Strip that ended in January 2009. Ms. Brooks why don’t you let my friends and me fire rockets at your neighborhood and house? See how you like getting hit with rockets and mortars two or three times a week.

Ms. Brooks, the apologist, dons her Tokyo Rose robe and claimed "Israel justified its bombardment of Gaza on the grounds that Hamas broke a fragile, temporary cease-fire ... but the timing of the Israeli military offensive has more to do with politics than anything else." Brooks says that the two sides were not on equal footing, claiming that as compared to Israel's military might Hamas "is weak, and its weapons – terrorism, homemade rockets – are the weapons of the weak." Ms. Brooks, thank God Hamas is inferior to the Israelis. If Hamas and Hizbullah weren’t inferior there would be dead Israelis, Americans and Westerners littering the Middle East and elsewhere.

Ms. Brooks conveniently forgets that Israel gave Gaze back to the Palestinians and violence by Hamas on Israelis and Palestinians (who did not agree with Hamas) ensued. Hamas' rocket-fire has devastated Israeli towns. Hamas has fired over 4,000 rockets into Israel killing Israelis and disrupting life for over 100,000 Jewish citizens and people living in Gaza. Hamas started launching the rocket attacks into Israel after the Jewish state unilaterally evacuated its citizens from the Gaza Strip, leaving the strategic territory to Palestinian control.

Brooks also distorted the casualty count in Gaza and failed to differentiate civilians from terrorists and the tact that the Hamas terrorists used human shields including children. Brooks claimed, "The first day of the offensive, Israeli bombs killed at least 180 Palestinians. By Wednesday, the Palestinian death toll exceeded 390."

According to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), two-thirds of the casualty numbers were Hamas members.

Brooks urged: "It's time for the United States to wake up from its long slumber and reengage – forcefully – with the Middle East peace process. Only the U.S. – Israel's primary supporter and main financial sponsor – can push it to make the hard choices." Ms. Brooks it is time for the American people to get people like you out of government. Unfortunately, we will have to wait almost four years for that. In the meantime you, George and President Obama will do unimaginable harm to Israel and U.S. foreign policy. If these policies persist you will have blood on your hands.

Brooks continued as long as Bush was in the White House, "Israel could count on a U.S. administration that wasn't merely 'supportive' of Israel but blindly, mindlessly so. Obama may be less willing to offer Israel blank checks." Ms. Brooks Bush realized that only the Palestinians and Israelis could bring true peace to their region. They need to find common ground and both sides need to realize they need each other. When they come to that understanding there will be peace and the region will boom. However, senseless hatred and violence on the part of Hamas, Hizbullah and apologists like you will ultimately accomplish nothing.
