BUSH AND THE SAUDIS REFUSE TO GIVE UP
The Golden Report - by Jerry Golden - November 15, 2007 - It may be too late but who knows, one thing good that has happened in the past 24 hours, the Knesset or at least some of the MK's in the Knesset have voted against the Olmert's "Kadima Party" Government and made it next to impossible for Olmert to divide Jerusalem without a two thirds votes in the Knesset and at this time that would be impossible. In the mean time Netanyahu is trying to muster enough support to overthrow the corrupt Olmert Government, no one has been able to do that since Sharon begin this insane move to destroy the Jewish State but at least there is an effort being put forth.
It also looks like the News Media and others are waking up to the words used by the Palestinians when Arafat and Abbas say they recognize the fact that Israel is a State. This is not the same thing as saying they recognize Israel as a Jewish State. The State of Israel is now plainly saying that the PA must recognize that Israel is a Jewish State. But the PA has come out in the last couple of days very clearly and saying they will never formally recognize that Israel is a Jewish State. Even Olmert says that it's impossible for Israel to accept the right of return for all Palestinians into Israel for it would be the instant destruction of Israel but the Palestinians say there will be no peace with Israel unless Israel accepts that. Which simply means they will accept nothing less than the total destruction of Israel.
The Annapolis meeting is nothing less than a train wreck waiting to happen; it's like two trains on the same track speeding directly at each other. One is driven by Bush and Rice the other has two causalities in it, the Arabs who call themselves "Palestinians" and the Israeli people. Neither the Israelis nor the Palestinians want this Annapolis meeting to take place at this time but they can't stop the train driven by Bush and Rice who are hell bent for destroying the Jewish State. When the two trains meet in Annapolis there will be an explosion heard around the world and it will be felt by not just the Jews and the Arabs but the ripples will reverberate through out the world's economy and politics. We here in Israel are bracing for the train wreck knowing things could get really bad. But what other choice do we have other than to fight once again asking God to give us victory.
Everyone one has been looking for the attack on the US by Islamic extremists well this could be the signal for that to kick in as well. One thing is certain we have but a few days to find out. The only thing that could hold off the inevitable is for Bush to call off this Annapolis insanity no one wants but Bush and Rice, and everyone knows it is doomed to fail causing terrible things to happen very soon. Regardless of what happens our only real hope is in Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus the Messiah) not only a train wreck is about to occur but the world's largest storm on the horizon is gathering. No matter where you're at, if you have the presence of the Ruach Ha Kodesh (Holy Spirit) in you, you will be used as a great witness in the days ahead. For the only storm that will effect you is the one inside of you, and with God's presence there will be no storm there.
It appears that Bush cannot be stopped from his desire to destroy Israel and in so doing he is bringing down destruction on the US as well, possibly on the rest of the world as well. Bush says that he worships the same God the Moslems worship, maybe so but I worship the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and His name is not Allah. Israel will not be destroyed and God will bring the rest of the Jews back to the land He promised them. Isaiah 11:11th verse. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea. We will be there to assist in this re-gathering. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem for our son Joel and all the IDF soldiers. Pray for this Ministry and your part in it. Shalom, jerry golden

WAKE UP CALL TO AMERICAN CHRISTIANS
By Gary Larrabee - November 3, 2007 - ".... America's shadow government is alive and thriving with the goal to rule the world. The method is by controlling through the pressures and influence by proxy of the International bankers. Mystery Babylon, is a threat to the liberty of every citizen of the world.
The spark has been ignited that threatens every true believer in God. No matter whether we call him Allah through Islam, or worship God through Jewish faith or Christianity, every one of us as believers may become a prisoner of the world system. Everyone's commitment will be tested in just trying survival.
The events of today appear to be leading up to fulfillment of events that will fulfill Bible Prophecy, when it speaks in Revelation 12th chapter of the Woman surviving in the wilderness. Believers will seek safety saved by fleeing to the wilderness or by going underground to survive and be faithful to their faith and integrity. Trusting in prayer and faith that they will not being tempted to participate in the evil 666 system. This appears to be the only means of survival of not taking the mark of the beast.
In many ways I used to admire and look up to our spiritual leaders, However I see dangers being done by our spiritual leaders who I believe are being led by the flesh, power, money and prestige. I believe they are falling into a trap and are being deceived. In this trap they find themselves supporting and defending Leaders who speak one way and act another way. In this way they are actually supporting and fighting the fight for the enemy. Anyone speaking out against organized religion can be expected to come under great persecution by the people we are trying to help, the true believers who are being destroyed for lack of knowledge. We all need to pray for enlightenment from the Holy Spirit and for wisdom in how we should react. Since 9-11-01, it appears to me that satan has been cast out of the heaven onto this earth and we are in a great spiritual fight. Revelation 12: Continued: http://www.rense.com/general78/flduo.htm

OLMERT SEES 'HAND OF GOD' IN 'PEACE' PROCESS
Jerusalem News Wire - by Stan Goodenough - January 01, 2008 - Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Monday he believes he can almost see "the hand of God" in the coming together of purportedly Israel-friendly countries which are working to create a Palestinian state on the historical homeland of the Jewish people. In an exclusive interview timed to coincide with the start of 2008, Olmert told The Jerusalem Post he believed the current constellation of key international personalities who were "favorably disposed" to Israel created "comfortable conditions" for negotiations that may not exist again in the future.
The prime minister, a secular Jew, said it is "a coincidence that is almost 'the hand of God' that Bush is president of the United States, that Nicolas Sarkozy is the president of France, that Angela Merkel is the chancellor of Germany, that Gordon Brown is the prime minister of England and that the special envoy to the Middle East is Tony Blair."
"What possible combination could be more comfortable for the State of Israel?" Olmert maintained that it was imperative that Israel make every effort towards progress in the land-for-peace process as long as this lineup of friendly faces remains in place. It is an historical irony that Israel-friendly world leaders have been more successful in their push for the division of Eretz Yisrael (the Land of Israel)than have outspokenly antagonistic prime ministers and presidents. Observers have noted that Israel's tendency towards dependancy on other countries - especially the United States - and the readiness of its leaders to be pressured as they pursue foreign favor has made the Jewish state exceptionally vulnerable to manipulation.
There is a saying in Israel, that after centuries of antisemitism and decades of non-stop war and terrorism, the nation is desperate enough to "sell its soul to the devil" for peace.

'WEAK' OLMERT, ABBAS WILL WELCOME BUSH
Jerusalem News Wire - By Stan Goodenough - January 01, 2008 - When George W. Bush makes his first visit as president to Israel next week, the American will be hosted by politically weak Israeli and "Palestinian" leaders. Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestine Liberation Organization/Palestinian Authority chairman, has lost any ability he may have once had to exercise control over his own people, with inter-Arab violence claiming at least eight "Palestinian" lives in Hamas-Fatah clashes in Gaza Tuesday.
This means that Abbas cannot commit himself to ensuring the maintenance of security Israel is looking for before it will be willing to make more concessions to the PA.
The unpopular Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is also believed to lack the political capital to make good on any promises he might be tempted to make to please Bush. Analysts in Israel Tuesday were wondering just what the American president will accomplish on his January 9 to 11 visit. Bush and his secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice, are understood to have pinned a great deal of hope on achieving some tangible progress in the land-for-peace process before the end of the year.

FRENCH PRESIDENT NICOLAS SARKOZY IN FAVOR OF PALESTINIANS STATE
Shamrak.com - by Steven Shamrak - January 3, 2008 - The opening of the donors' conference in Paris, French President Nicolas Sarkozy emphasised the urgency of creating a Palestinian state by the end of next year, 2008. International donors eagerly pledged $7.4 billion, pretending that it will boost PA economy.
The list of fake friends of the fictitious Palestinian nation is long: United States, pledged $555 million for 2008, though about $400 million has not been approved by Congress; Britain, $500 million; Norway, $420 million; Spain, $360 million; France and Sweden, $300 million each; Germany, $290; Belgium, € 86 million; the new Australian government pledged $39 million, almost doubling the intended pledge; the European Union, €440 million ($650 million) in grants to the Palestinians in 2008.
All of them ignored the enormous level of corruption, which is traditional and common at all levels of PA, which traditionally makes almost 50% of donated funds vanish. They did not care that funds are spent on terror campaigns against Israel. The fact that terrorism and military operations against it conducted by Israel is not a conducive environment for economic development have not made them stop and think what would be the better way to spend this huge amount of money for the betterment of the people they pretend to care about!
Would it be more effective, for peace in the Middle East, if all those funds, combined with UN and other programs, were directed toward re-settlement of the non-Jewish population from Judea, Samaria and Gaza to low populated Sinai, where they would have a vast amount of contiguous land, which they do not have in Israel, to build an independent state or have autonomy under the Egyptian government? But, logic and common sense are not applicable when prejudice against Jews and fear of Arab terror and diminishing supply of oil is in play.
That is why none of the legitimate nations, who are suffering from occupation, are not attracting such strong international attention and generosity. People of Tibet, Western Papua, Kurdistan , Western Sahara , Armenians in Turkey, Basques and others, who have been enduring discrimination and even genocide from their occupiers are still ignored and brushed of by international duplicity. At the same time, the world is not really interested in true peace in the Middle East. It is only after the terror campaign, which was unleashed by the PLO during 70's and coincided with the oil embargo imposed by the Arab countries, that the United States and Europe had suddenly discovered the 'Palestinian nation'. Recent attacks by Al Qaida in the US , Europe and Bali have brought the horror memories back: plane and boat high-jackings, suicide bombings and execution of Israeli athletes in Munich. Fear combined with traditional anti-Semitism and dependency on Arab oil creates the best condition for the successful fund rasing party!
Egypt is allowing some 1,200 Arabs - including Hamas terrorists with possibly millions of dollars in cash to be used for Hamas - to return to Gaza without having to go through Israeli security - in violation of an explicit agreement between Defense Minister Ehud Barak and Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak just two weeks ago. Testimony of the Peace Process. According to the Internal Security Services (ShaBaK), there were 2,946 terrorist attacks in 2007 in Israel. (Ask yourself, what would the United States do in these circumstances?) http://www.terrorismawareness.org/what-really-happened/
"... Israeli Arabs Don't Want Palestine. The vast majority of Israeli Arabs, 78 percent, would not want to live in a future Palestinian state. Many Israeli Jews believe their Arab compatriots want to stay in Israel because of economics. Arabs make up about 20 percent of Israel's population. (It would be better, for peace and clear national identity, if all of them move and live in the new Muslim state, Sinai!)
.. When Government Disrespects National Aspirations. Jewish immigration to Israel fell in 2007 to a 17-year low. About 19,700 immigrants arriving was the lowest number since the fall of the Soviet Union. In 2006, about 21,000 people moved to the Jewish state, local media reported. Earlier this year the number of Israelis leaving the country exceeded the number of new arrivals for the first time in 20 years.
'Moderate' Fatah. Fatah is planning to mark its 43rd anniversary (creation of the fake Palestinian nation) with a new poster that presents all of Israel as Palestine . The poster's underlying message is that Fatah, like Hamas, does not recognize Israel's existence. It features a map of Israel that is entirely draped with a Palestinian scarf and a drawing of a rifle as a symbol of the "armed struggle" against Israel. The emblem is in violation of Fatah's declared policy, which envisions an independent Palestinian state alongside, and not instead of, Israel. (Fatah and Hamas may have different religious ideologies, but the same intended future for Israel and Jews!)
Virgins for Martyrs are Back. PA TV put back on the screen a music video, with the Virgins of Paradise reminding would-be suicide bomber terrorist Shahids (martyrs) of the reward that awaits them when they die fighting the Jews. The constant reruns may signal the need to increase motivation among PA Arab men to join the terrorist ranks and donate their lives to fighting Israelis. (And no one cares that it is another violation of the Oslo Agreement! How many virgins can $7.4 billion buy?)
Bush and Sarkozy: No patience for Assad. "My patience ran out on President Assad a long time ago. The reason why is because he houses Hamas, he facilitates Hezbollah, suiciders go from his country into Iraq and he destabilizes Lebanon ," Bush said. "I have reached the end of the road with Assad. Words alone won't suffice; I want actions," Sarkozy told journalists. (Only Israel must remain calm, considered and patient. Why?) : http://www.shamrak.com

MINISTER APPEASES MUSLIMS ON TEMPLE MOUNT
JNewsWire.com - By Stan Goodenough - January 03, 2008 - Israeli Internal Security Minister Avi Dichter, whose job it is to ensure the majority of his countrymen are able to live as Jews free from danger and fear, has bowed even further to the Muslim threat to use violence against Jews who wish to pray on the Temple Mount - Israel's holiest site. Despite the fact that the place where Israel's first and second temples stood is under de jure Israeli sovereignty the Olmert government, like those before it, already acquiesces to the demands of the Waqf (Islamic Trust) to ban Jewish and Christian prayer on the hill.
The hours during which Christians and Jews can ascend the Temple Mount are severely restricted; non-Muslim visitors are searched and prevented from taking Bibles or prayer books into the site, and individuals are frequently arrested or at least forced to leave [as I was-Ed] if they are even suspected of praying.
Now, according to a report Tuesday in the leftist Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz, Dichter recently sent a letter to two religious Knesset members telling them that "a Jew is not allowed to pray in any overt manner whatsoever on the Temple Mount, even if he is just moving his lips in prayer." While it "is not possible to arrest a person for 'conversing with his maker ... it is possible to carry out an arrest for expressions of outward and demonstrative signs [of prayer]," Dichter said. He continued to explain that this interpretation "is in line with the rationale that bans Jews from praying at the site, in light of serious concerns that this will serve as a provocation, resulting in disorder, with a near certain likelihood of subsequent bloodshed."
The voices of the minister and the rest of the government were nowhere to be heard two weeks ago when the radio network of the Islamist terrorist group Hamas broadcast inflammatory Muslim sermons from the Temple Mount for the first time. These sermons almost always incite Muslims to violence against Jews.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, making concessions to conciliate a potential aggressor is defined as appeasement. In their pain-saturated history, the Jewish people have often suffered most after efforts have been made to appease those out to destroy them. http://www.jnewswire.com/article/2289

A VERY IMPORTANT REPORT .
The Golden Report - by Jan Willem van der Hoeven, & Jerry Golden - December 16, 2007 - "... In his recent speech in Annapolis the Prime Minister of Israel, Mr Ehud Olmert made the following statement:
"I believe that there is no path other than peace. I believe there is no just solution other than the solution of two national states for two peoples. I believe that there is no path which does not involve painful compromise for you Palestinians and for us Israelis. I want to thank you, President George Bush, an ally in the path of peace, for your willingness to assist in the historic process of peace and reconciliation between us and our neighbors."
This statement exposes the absolute fallacy of the policy being pursued by Israel and the Nations concerning the Arab-Israeli conflict. When Prime Minister Olmert says - with the blind agreement of not only the nations of the world but even most of the ministers of his cabinet - that he believes there is NO path other than peace and NO just solution other than the establishment of two national states for two peoples, it is clear that he has - apparently freely - swallowed the lie and the deception that peace will come to this region and to Israel only by way of the vision first foolishly proclaimed by the president of the United States.
The opposite is true. Peace will come to the Middle East - as it came to Europe - by military victory. As the Bible so truthfully, if sadly, states: There is a time to make war, and there is a time to make peace (see Ecclesiastes 3:8).

'BREAKTHROUGH' IN ANNAPOLIC TALKS
IsraelNN.com - November 11, 2007 - Israel thinks its negotiations with the PLO have been crowned with success, according to a report in Ma'ariv/NRG Friday. The report says a "breakthrough" was achieved when the PLO side agreed to Israel's demand that the creation of an Arab state in Judea, Samaria and Gaza be conditional on "effective counter-terror fighting" by the PLO. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/Flash.aspx/136173
Quoting Israeli diplomatic sources, the report says Israel will apparently announce its intention to divide Jerusalem and to make "significant territorial concessions" in Judea and Samaria. Israel will also agree to a "compromise" regarding the Arab "refugees" (descendants of Arabs who lived within the current Israeli borders in the past). PA agrees to disband terrorist groups before statehood

THE ANNAPOLIS FIASCO
The Jerusalem Connection: - By: Bret Stephens - November 22, 2007 - Condoleezza Rice's pointless Middle East conference. - Henry Kissinger once observed that "when enough prestige has been invested in a policy it is easier to see it fail than abandon it." At the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md., next week, the current secretary of state will illustrate her predecessor's point.
"Annapolis," as it is spoken of in diplomatic circles, was conceived earlier this year by the Bush administration as a landmark conference that would revive Israeli-Palestinian peace talks and lead to a final settlement by January 2009. It was to be modeled on the Madrid conference of 1991, which brought Israeli leaders face-to-face with their Arab counterparts and, as it seemed at the time, created a new paradigm in the affairs of the Middle East. Back then, the idea was that the Iron Wall between the Jewish state and its neighbors could be brought down just as the Berlin Wall had. Today, the operative theory is that Israel's neighbors, fearful of Iran's growing regional clout, have a newfound interest in putting the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to rest.
Nice theory--if only the locals would get with the concept. The Egyptians are openly skeptical about the conference, which they say lacks "an endgame." The Saudis, supposedly among the beleaguered and newly pliable Sunni powers, can hardly be bothered with Annapolis; even now it's unclear whether their foreign minister will attend. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has told the Saudis he would rather resign than attend a conference that achieves nothing. He fears Palestinians would "turn to Hamas after they see that Annapolis did not give them anything," according to an unnamed Palestinian official quoted in the Jerusalem Post.

JERUSALEM WATCHMAN HOLDING UP THE WORD AGAINST ALL ODDS
PUBLIC STATEMENT OF ALARM Posted on 7 January 7, 2008 - In the light of God’s warning to the nations through His prophet Joel that He will one day bring them to judgment for dividing the land He repeatedly vowed to give to just one nation - His own beloved and Chosen People - it is appalling to read Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s expressed belief that he can almost see the hand of God behind the crazy idea* being pushed upon Israel by the nations of the world: that a 23rd Muslim Arab state - Palestine - be established in the heart of this already tiny little land.
As you must know, Mr. Olmert, this is not the advice of friends but of self-serving politicians who are afraid or unable to withstand the immense pressures of the whole Muslim world (of more than 40 nations) and also the millions of Muslims within their own borders. No, this is not the kind advice of friends, but unconscionable exploitation for reasons of expediency. And it is certainly not the hand of God behind all this pressure, but the sinister influence of your combined enemies-or should we say, the Enemy?
Therefore, together with millions of Christians who are true friends of Israel, and in faithfulness to what the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem declared at its opening on October 15, 1981, pledging its “support and untiring international effort for the unification of Israel’s land and Israel’s capital Jerusalem,” we call upon you both - Mr. George W. Bush and Mr. Ehud Olmert - to cease forthwith your attempt to placate Israel’s enemies with a 23rd state of their own, thereby facilitating the demise of this young courageous nation, to the judgment of all those responsible for pushing Israel down this totally treacherous road.
Jan Willem van der Hoeven, Director - International Christian Zionist Center - Stan Goodenough, Editor
“Zion’s Alarm” and “Jerusalem Newswire” - * The revelation, on the same day as Mr. Olmert’s statement, that two official PA policemen murdered two Israeli hikers in the last week of 2007, using weapons issued under Israel’s supervision as part of the “peace process,” is only the latest proof of the foolishness of this idea. http://www.stangoodenough.com/?p=98

ISRAEL'S PROPHETIC WITNESS
'To Finish the Transgression and to Anoint the Most Holy' is going to resolve, once and for all, the amazing passage of Daniel 8:14 and the 2,300 days between the time of the commencement of the sacrifices within Daniel's 70th Week and the extremity of the desolations, from the middle of Daniel's 70th Week, until their final conclusion on the 1,290th Day. What in the world does this have to do with George Walker Bush's visit to Jerusalem and six Arab states, along with the Palestinian Authority this Thursday, January 10, 2008? Much in every way! Americans' along with their fascination of appropriating these passages to themselves (taking them away from their legitimate owner--National Israel - "your people and your holy city") - in Daniel regarding the 'cleansing of the temple' or the 'restoring of the temple' 'have given birth to scores of spurious teachings and so-called Christian sects, as well as disenfranchisement of National Israel. The Seventh-Day Adventists, the Jehovah's Witnesses, the Mormons, Harold Camping, Hank Hanegraaff, Larry Wilson and Alan Morrison' are but a few of the sects and individuals who are heirs of Amillenarian teaching which makes the Church the New Israel of God in toto. These folks may be well-meaning brethren (some of them) but they are sorely in error. How do these 2,300 days relate to the 70th Week of Daniel? Read on, dear saint, read on 'and then, as His Scripture of Truth continues to enlighten His people, rest assured' our REDEMPTION DRAWS NEAR! Watch carefully, very carefully, how Jerusalem and the Temple, become part and parcel of any final ' peace settlement' then pray, pray very hard . . . for these things we have been sharing could easily culminate in the signing of the infamous TREATY OF HELL AND DEATH! http://the-tribulation-network.com

DIVIDING JERUSALEM, IT'S A DONE DEAL
Golden Report by Jerry Golden - November 05, 2007 - Below are pictures to prove it. - The politicians would like for you to believe that nothing has been decided on Israel’s surrender to the Islamic Arabs on the division of Jerusalem. But thanks to George Bush, Rice and God only knows who else, the lines have been drawn and Border Crossings and walls are going up as you read this article.
If we listen to the Media and believe what they say, and I am not stupid enough to think anyone reading is does. They would have us believe that the fences, borders and walls are going up in areas only to protect us from the Islamic suicide bombers, that is true but not the whole truth and what is really happening is they are using that to cover up the division of Jerusalem.
Zachariah 12:9 AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS IN THAT DAY, THAT I WILL SEEK TO DESTROY ALL THE NATIONS THAT COME AGAINST JERUSALEM.
Zachariah 12:2-3 BEHOLD, I WILL MAKE JERUSALEM A CUP OF TREMBLING UNTO ALL THE PEOPLE ROUND ABOUT, WHEN THEY SHALL BE IN THE SIEGE BOTH AGAINST JUDAH AND AGAINST JERUSALEM.
:3 AND IN THAT DAY I WILL MAKE JERUSALEM A BURDENSOME STONE FOR ALL THE PEOPLE: ALL THAT BURDEN THEMSELVES WITH IT SHALL BE CUT IN PIECES, THOUGH ALL THE PEOPLE OF THE EARTH BE GATHERED TOGETHER AGAINST IT.

THE REVEALING TORAH AND HAFTARAH READINGS DURING PRESIDENT BUSH'S ISRAEL AND MIDDLE EAST VISITS
WATCH.ORG - Bill Koenig - The Torah reading for the week of January 5 Exodus 6:2-9 The Haftarah reading for the week of January 5 Ezekiel: 28:25-29 - The Torah and Haftarah readings for the weeks of January 5 and January 12 are very revealing. President Bush traveled to Israel from January 9 to January 11. He then traveled to Kuwait, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, and is arriving in Saudi Arabia on Monday for three days and two nights before traveling to Sharm al Sheikh, Egypt on Wednesday, January 16. He leaves for Washington later that evening. When President Bush was in Israel, the Torah teachings were God’s reminder to Moses that He had established a covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to give them the land of Canaan; God stated that He remembered that covenant; He would take them to be His people; He would release them from the burdens of the Egyptians; and He will bring them to the land that He gave them for their heritage. In the Haftarah teachings, the Lord says they shall dwell in their land that I have given to my servant Jacob. And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall build houses, and plant vineyards; yea, they shall dwell with confidence, when I have executed judgments upon all those that despise them round about them; and they shall know that I am the LORD their God. http://www.watch.org/showprint.php3?idx=99950&mcat=1&rtn=/index.html

NETANYAHU TO BUSH: JERUSALEM IS ISRAEL'S FOR ETERNITY
JNEWSWIRE.COM - By Stan Goodenough - January 10, 2008 - He might not be a professing believer, but Israel's official opposition leader and former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu certainly sounded like one when he met with visiting US President George W. Bush in Jerusalem Thursday morning. "Jerusalem belongs to the Jewish people and will remain under Israeli sovereignty for eternity" declared the Likud Party Chairman and leading contender to be Israel's next prime minister. Bible-believing Christians and Jews hold that Jerusalem - first the earthly one and then the heavenly one - will be eternally under Jewish sovereignty, with the Messiah, Son of David and Lion of the Tribe of Judah ultimately ruling the world from the Israeli capital.
Netanyahu, who was initially not going to be accorded the courtesy of a one-on-one with the American, had reportedly requested a brief audience with him in the King David Hotel. Bush confirmed this when he shook hands with "Bibi" - as Netanyahu is popularly known - at the Ben Gurion Airport reception line upon his arrival Wednesday. "Are we on for tomorrow morning? We'll get some coffee," the president said. Their coffee break went 45 minutes over the allotted time. During their meeting Netanyahu presented Bush with an ancient coin inscribed in Hebrew and was struck in the first century AD/CE.
The coin had been discovered in Jerusalem, proving the Jewish people's millennia-old ties with the city. The Islamic/Arab world now wants to take Jerusalem away from the Jews, turning parts containing Israel's holiest sites into the capital of "Palestine" - the state "alongside" Israel Bush is here to help create. Jerusalem is not mentioned once in the Quran - the Islamic "bible." While Bush claims to be a practising Christian, Netanyahu shows no outward signs of being religious. The Israeli is known, however, to respect people of faith, and has often acknowledged the contributions made by Christian Zionists towards the re-establishment of and support for the Jewish state. http://www.jnewswire.com/article/2303

BUSH EXPECTS ISRAEL-PA TREATY BY JANUARY 2009
IsraelNN.com - by Hana Levi Julian - US President George W. Bush sent a message of optimism Thursday at a joint news conference with Palestinian Authority Chairman and Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen) following their meeting in Ramallah. His positive spin did not entirely hide his concern about the deep divide between the positions of Israel and the PA. Reiterating his oft-repeated mantra that ?tough choices? must be made in order to reach a settlement between Israel and the PA, Bush said he believed leaders of both sides are committed to the process. "I believe it's possible not only possible, I believe it's going to happen that there will be a signed peace treaty by the time I leave office. That?s what I believe."
That having been said, Bush also noted that little could be accomplished while Israel is forced to maintain a constant state of alert against terrorism emanating from PA territories. The Israelis, he said bluntly, "don?t want a state on their border from which attacks can be launched. I can understand that. The checkpoints create security for Israel and they create frustration for Palestinians." Abbas underscored the PA position that there can be no peace without lifting security restrictions and, ultimately, the creation of a PA state with Jerusalem as its capital. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert drew the line at Jerusalem in his meeting with Bush on Wednesday, telling him that Israel will not accept limitations on what construction it chooses to carry out anywhere in Jerusalem. In a joint news conference following their meeting, Olmert told reporters "We made it clear that Jerusalem?s status was different than that of other settlements. Not everyone likes what we have to say about this, but we made it clear that Jerusalem?s status was different than that of the settlements," he said.
"The Palestinian people," claimed Abu Mazen, are "committed to peace, want to move freely in their country, with no roadblocks, [separation] fence or settlements. We want to see a different future, without thousands of prisoners in jail and innocent deaths. We want to stop the closure," Abbas told reporters.
The American Roadmap plan, which all parties agreed would become the blueprint for the negotiation process, called for a complete cessation of terrorist activity emanating from the PA territories in its first phase, along with the lifting of Israeli security measures. Olmert and Abbas both agreed to skip the first step and move ahead to a discussion of final status issues. Until this point, the PA has insisted that its territories in Judea and Samaria must be considered as one entity with Gaza " but Thursday's news conference raised a question as to whether that would still be the case in future talks.
Bush told reporters that the Hamas terrorist organization has complicated matters for everyone. "There is a competing vision taking place in Gaza," he said. "Hamas" has delivered nothing but misery." He added that he didn't know whether issues with Hamas " and by extension, in Gaza " could be resolved by the end of 2008. ?Gaza's a tough situation,"said Bush. "I don't know whether you can solve it in a year or not." What is clear, said Bush, is the cost to the PA of not resolving the Gaza problem and the choice that must be made. "Do you want those who have created chaos to run your country" " he asked pointedly. "Or do you want those of us who negotiated a settlement with the Israelis that will lead to lasting peace?"
Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum responded in Gaza that the Bush-Abbas meeting ?"ocused on the so-called security topics that mean to act against the interests of the Palestinian majority and the resistance." It is not clear whether or how any agreement between Israel and the Fatah-run PA government can be reached without dealing with Hamas?s stranglehold on Gaza. The clock is ticking, however. "I?m on a timetable," Bush told reporters. "I?'e got 12 months." http://www.IsraelNN.com

THE REAL REASON FOR THE HAMAS BOMBING OF THE BORDER
The Golden Report - by Jerry Golden - January 24, 2008 - "..... But the real question we should be asking ourselves is why isn’t Egypt doing anything about the broken border, it is their border and their responsibility? The 1979 Camp David peace treaty between Israel and Egypt dictated the amount of Egyptian Forces that could be in the Sinai Desert up next to the Israel Border. The Egyptians have tried several times in different ways to get the Israelis to allow them to at least double that number, for obvious reasons they want as many soldiers up next to the Israeli border as possible.
For years I’ve been saying that the most dangerous enemy Israel has is not Syria or Iran that it is Egypt and the US has been arming their Army, Air Force and Navy to the teeth for years now. I also find it a little more than strange that right after Bush leaves Egypt on his recent Middle East Tour that the border is breached and Egypt does nothing about it, and I haven’t heard anything from the US concerning any of this.

AHMADINEJAD: ISRAEL HAS ITS 'FINAL STAGE'
JerusalemNews.com by Stan Goodenough - January 30, 2008 - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Wednesday that the State of Israel, established 60 years ago this year, has reached the "final stage" before its destruction. And he called on the West to accept the fact of the Jewish state's "imminent collapse." Ahmadinejad, who has repeatedly threatened Israel with destruction, chose to make his comments while touring the town of Bushehr, where Russia is currently constructing a nuclear reactor for Iran.
The Iranians are believed to be pursuing nuclear power in order to build atomic bombs. Earlier this week Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak publicly aired his belief that the Iranians are already working to build nuclear warheads for the surface-to-surface missiles. "What we have right now is the last chapter, which the Palestinians and regional nations will confront and eventually turn in Palestine's favor," the Iranian leader said in a nationally televised message. "Accept that the life of Zionists will sooner or later come to an end." http://www.jnewswire.com/article/2314

ISRAEL BRACES FOR WAR REPORT
Jerusalem News - By Stan Goodenough - January 30, 2008 - After months of media speculation, days of discussion and columns of commentary, the final report of the Winograd Commission on mistakes made in the prosecution of the 2006 Second Lebanon War will be released Wednesday evening Israel time. Unlike the inquiry's interim report, released last April, the details made public on January 30 are not expected to shock Israelis, who have been saturated with information, including leaked details of its contents, every day since at least the start of the new year.
The interim report assigned responsibility for the major failures in the war to former IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Dan Halutz, to Defense Minister Amir Peretz, and to Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.
Halutz and Peretz no longer hold their positions: The former resigned last January - before the interim report was released - and the latter handed in his notice a few weeks after its release, after he had already been ousted from his position as Labor Party leader by former Prime Minister and current Defense Minister Ehud Barak. Olmert, however, retained his position despite a flood of criticism and numerous calls for his resignation. While there was a lot of speculation back then that Winograd's final report would force the prime minister to step down, this is no longer anticipated. Although the findings are expected to be harsh, no recommendations for personal sanctions are reportedly in the works.
One-hundred-and-forty-four Israeli soldiers and 44 Israeli civilians were killed in the Second Lebanon War. Despite the high cost, Israel's goals - primarily to secure the release of kidnapped soldiers Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev - were not realized. Hizb'allah is widely acknowledged by Israel's friends and foes alike to have won that war. http://www.jnewswire.com/article/2311

GIVE GAZA TO EGYPT MEMBER OF CFR RECOMMENDS
CuttingEdge.org Weekly Newsletter - January 30, 2008 - http://cuttingedge.org/newsletters/ - Meanwhile, we have to consider whether the Illuminati has just signaled that their vision is for Israel to permanently give the Gaza Strip to Egypt! Daniel Pipes, part of the CFR Elite, has written a most provocative article. NEWS BRIEF: "Give Gaza to Egypt", by Daniel Pipes, reprinted in The Jerusalem Post, January 30, 2008
"Startling developments in Gaza highlight the need for a change in Western policy toward this troubled territory of 1.3 million persons ... for twenty years Gazans largely acquiesced to Israeli rule ... Faced with a lethal Gaza, the Israeli government of Ehud Olmert decided to isolate it, hoping that economic hardship would cause Gazans to blame Hamas and turn against it. To an extent, the squeeze worked, for Hamas' popularity did fall. The Israelis also conducted raids against terrorists to stop the rocket attacks. Still, the assaults continued; so, on January 17, the Israelis escalated by cutting fuel deliveries and closing the borders. 'As far as I'm concerned', Olmert announced, 'Gaza residents will walk, without gas for their cars, because they have a murderous, terrorist regime that doesn't let people in southern Israel live in peace'."
"That sounded reasonable but the press reported heart-rending stories about Gazans suffering and dying due to the cutoffs, and these immediately swamped the Israeli position. Appeals and denunciations from around the world demanded that Israelis ease up ... Then, on January 23, Hamas took matters into its own hands with a clever surprise tactic: after months of preparation, it pulled down large segments of the 12-km long, 13-meter high border wall separating Gaza from Egypt, simultaneously winning goodwill from Gazans and dragging Cairo into the picture. Politically, Egyptian authorities had no choice but uneasily to absorb 38 wounded border guards and permit hundreds of thousands of persons temporarily to enter the far northeast of their country."
After describing the mess, this CFR member advocates the solution.
"What might Western states now do? The border breaching, ironically, offers an opportunity to clean up a mess. Washington and other capitals should declare the experiment in Gazan self-rule a failure and press President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt to help, perhaps providing Gaza with additional land or even annexing it as a province."
This proposal is breathtaking! Egypt would then control the Gaza Strip, and could move significant numbers of troops right up to the border with Israel. At this point, Israeli towns would not be facing inaccurate Hamas terror rockets, but sophisticated rockets, artillery fire and Egyptian elite forces!
Egypt has always sought this kind of advantage, but Israel has always stood firmly in the way.
Israel has always depended upon her crack Israeli Defense Force and crafty civilian leadership to survive the constant hatred of surrounding Arabs. Since Israel is lacking these two elements right now, can the time be far off when the prophecy of Daniel 12:1 be fulfilled?
"AND AT that time of the end Michael shall arise, the great angelic prince who defends and has charge of your [Daniel's] people. And there shall be a time of trouble, straitness, and distress such as never was since there was a nation till that time. But at that time your people shall be delivered..."
