The Middle Eastern Crisis
The mid-eastern crisis scares me. I don't know why, but it does.
I am a Christian, so, I should have nothing to fear. It is just - eerily - feeling like the beginning of the end to me. The world is going mad, and now, clearer that ever before, the rifts in the global community are becoming very clear, as it was written... Even though I don't like Pres. George W. Bush, I am grateful that he has sided with Israel. And as much as I love Europe... their condemnation of Israel's action will have marked consequences for them.
As a person who has spent some time in Israel, there are some things I want to get off my chest. The first is that I believe that Israel belongs to the Jews. God said it, I believe it, that settles it. So, any calls or notions of a Palestinian state is a taboo to me. I am sorry for the people whose feelings I offend by my statement, but that is what the Bible says. Although Ismael is a descendant of Abraham, nowhere in the Bible does God make an promise ON TERRITORY with Ismael as he did with the House of Israel. So, ISRAEL belongs to the Jews and that's it.
I, living in South Africa and being exposed to a lot of global press, get a lot of different views on the current affairs in the Middle East. And what troubles me is that Israel is now called a terrorist state. By - look who's talking - Iran. Pardon my biases, but this is my blog. If you don't like what I'm saying, hit the "next blog" button. How could a nation, being tread on by the world for more than 2000 years, and bearing the brunt of man's fundemental xenophobic, terrorist tendencies, suddenly be called so when they finally get to claim what is theirs, as promised by God? My advise to nations is this: Accept it. Or be prepared to answer to God himself.
My heart goes out to "my" kibbutz - I volunteered on Kibbutz Ga'aton some years ago. They are stuck right in the line of the fire. Ga'aton is situated approximately 15 km north-east of the coastal town of Nahariyya and about 20 km south of the Lebanese border.
I say this into the void of cyberspace, but my friends on Ga'aton - even though you may not remember me, I remember you. My thoughts dwell on you constantly.
