When America blockaded Cuba in October, 1962 to prevent weapons from arriving from the USSR, the world understood. Russia blinked, backed down and withdrew its ships.<\/p>\n
When Israel blockaded Gaza last week to prevent weapons from arriving to arm Hamas, the world attacked…\u2026Israel. How dare Israel protect itself! As a result of the international outcry, those who seek to arm Hamas and inflame the Middle East will be encouraged to try again.<\/p>\n
The pre-planned attempt to cause an international incident by \u2018breaking the blockade\u2019 was all but inevitable once the United States caved in on Arab demands that Israel give up its nuclear weapons. In 1995 Arab nations first publically called on a UN resolution for a \u201cNuclear Free Middle East\u201d, which, of course, since only Israel has nuclear weapons in the Middle East, would have the effect of disarming Israel of its nukes. For 15 years the proposal went no where, with consistent US opposition to the proposal.<\/p>\n
That changed last week when the US joined with 188 other member nations of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty to approve a 2012 international conference \u201con the establishment of a Middle East zone free of nuclear weapons and all other weapons of mass destruction.\u201d In mid-April US Special Envoy George Mitchell informed Israel that it was dropping its opposition to the Arab-originated idea to disarm Israel. The next day the floods started in Tennessee and the BP oil spill started in the Gulf of Mexico. The smartest people in the world have been unable to staunch the huge flow of oil in the Gulf, which must surely continue as we continue to push Israel to give up its lands and its weapons of self defense.<\/p>\n
The Bible tells us that in the end times \u201call nations\u201d of the world will turn on Israel (Joel 3:2). The Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty looks like a preview of things to come. What must really hurt our Israeli friends is that for decades the US has been complicit with Israel in maintaining plausible deniability as to whether Israel actually has nukes. By our past silence on the issue we have helped Israel. Now, however, our signature to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty affirms that there are nuclear weapons in the Middle East that must be destroyed, otherwise we do we need such a Treaty? God has not withdrawn his Genesis 12:3 promise. America is not blessing Israel, but instead cursing Israel. As a result, our nation can expect nothing else in its future days except to see God keep His solemn promise. We are seeing the initial steps of the government of the United States which will eventually lead to stabbing Israel in the back by refusing to come to its military assistance when Russia and Iran invade (Ezekiel 38). That will be The End of America (Jeremiah 50 and 51; Revelation 18, etc.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
