Though Israel is generally in the news, in the last few days Israel has been in the world’s cross-hairs. Former Brit PM Tony Blair, now assigned to force a Middle East “peace agreement” announced Sunday that unless Israel agrees to give up its land there “will be one **** of a fight”. Tellingly, he also said that he had met with Israeli PM Netanyahu and that “Israelis are prepared to change significantly their posture on the West Bank.” Netanyahu recently gave in on new settlements in Judea and Samaria.
During the same time period, it has become increasingly obvious that the US will not force Iran to stop enriching uranium, and is not willing to line up pressure on Iran via sanctions from other nations. Also, Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, traveled to South America to line up support against Israel from Venezuela, Bolivia, Brazil and Ecuador. On Tuesday, Sweden announced that it would try to get an EU declaration that East Jerusalem was the capitol of the Palestinian Authority.
Since Israel is the only nation in the world whose very right to exist is challenged, under US led world pressure of this nature, must wonder how much longer Israel will resist giving up its land and signing a peace agreement? Recently the former PM’s Office Director of Israel warned that Netanyahu is a “squeezable man” who will give in to pressure. In his first term, Netanyahu gave up the ancient city of Hebron, where Abraham and many of the patriarchs are buried.
The actors are in place on the world stage to fulfill prophecies written many centuries ago. These are exciting and dangerous times.
