400 TERRORISTS GO FREE?

Under the new offer, Israel would determine which 400 prisoners would go free. There has been no confirmation of the new offer by Israel but Israeli politicians are already reacting to the proposal.

Israel has reportedly offered to release an additional 400 Palestinian prisoners as a sign of goodwill towards the Palestinian Authority in order to entice the Palestinians to agree to extend peace talks for another six months.

According to Palestinian sources involved in the peace talks, the offer is backed by the United States, who is attempting to save talks from total collapse.

Israel has delayed releasing the fourth and last installment of 26 Palestinian terrorists from prison due to the lack of guarantee by PA President Mahmoud Abbas that he would continue negotiations once the prisoners were released.

Abbas has in turn announced that he would not consider extending talks until the prisoners are released by Israel.  The Al-Ayyam newspaper cited Palestinian sources close to the negotiations as saying that Abbas is insisting that Israel release the fourth batch of prisoners as a precondition to any future deliberations.

At the start of the weekly cabinet meeting on Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the additional 400 Palestinian prisoners would not be released without Israel receiving something of value in return.

“In any case, there won’t be any deal without receiving something of clear value [in return],” the prime minster stated.

Netanyahu said that within the next few days, the issue “will be closed or it will blow up” and made clear that no decisions would be made without governmental approval.

Sunday morning, the A-Sharq Al-Awsat newspaper quoted Palestinian sources as saying that the release of prisoners would not lead the PA to take immediate states to further peace negotiations. The sources confirmed that the PA does not want to appear responsible for failed peace talks, saying “the leadership does not want to enter immediate conflict and appear responsible for the breakdown of the negotiation process.”

Housing Minister Uri Ariel (Jewish Home) said, “If this is true, I will recommend that we leave the coalition.”

Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz (Likud) told Israel Radio on Saturday night that he was opposed to the release of terrorists from prison. He said that the process of releasing the fourth installment of Palestinians from prison should be stopped immediately “since there hasn’t been any forward movement in the peace process.”

Reports on Saturday stated that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry that his coalition would fall apart should Israel free the last batch of terrorists.

On Friday, PA officials informed American mediator Martin Indyk that Israel was not releasing the last batch of terrorists. PA official Jibril Rajoub said that blocking the release was a “slap in the face of the U.S. administration and its efforts.”

Fatah officials Hazen Abu Shanab told the Ma’an news agency that Israel would immensely regret its decision to not release the prisoners. He called on the international community to hold Israel responsible for failed peace talks.

“The release of prisoners is a legitimate, lawful, and human right. Their freedom should not be linked to concessions regarding extending or continuing the diplomatic process,” Abu Shanab said.

Responding to reports on the prisoner release, U.S. State Department Spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Saturday night: “In regard to reports this evening on an agreement on the release of prisoners, no deal has been arrived at, and we continue to work intensively with both sides. Any claims to the contrary are inaccurate.”

WHAT ABOUT RIGHTEOUSNESS?

One should take into account (true or false) that Israel wants peace and asks for extra time to negotiate peace. But with the unchanged Palestinian charter  (that calls for the destruction of Israel) there will be no peace not now nor ever.

One thing is sure, the Israeli prisons are overcrowded, so some must go. There also must be a show of good will. But what about justice? The Palestinians care for their own terrorists, but do they care for the innocent children that are being blown up by bombs? 

I do not take sides. I know the end of it all and wait. The Bible declared the end. The climax is coming and it is near. 

SCARY KERRY

US Secretary of State John Kerry on Thursday said it was wrong for Israel to insist upon being recognized by the Palestinians as a “Jewish state” as a condition for peace.

“I think it’s a mistake for some people to be, you know, raising it again and again as the critical decider of their attitude towards the possibility of a state and peace, and we’ve obviously made that clear,” Kerry told the congressional House Committee on Foreign Affairs.

Kerry’s remarks would seem to be an about face from Washington’s position on the matter just over a month ago.

 

My Schtick

Just because you want to be successful Mr. Kerry you are more in a wishful thinking mindset rather than reality. Just look at the history. The UN partition of Palestine gave equal opportunities to both peoples. The Arabs had the same opportunity as the Jews did, but they chose hate which they would never give up for they want the whole pie and their history from PLO to Hamas proves it. In the PLO charter, to this day, the clause which calls for a complete annihilation of the State of Israel has not been removed and won't be removed just because Arabs are severely constipated and they won't let go of the big s... which their brains are laden with. When you constantly breathe hatred your breath in the contamination of the self-produced toxins. 

Whose side are you on? [Isaiah 62:1] For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep quiet - The God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel says so. 

 

Obama's Abomination

 

The discrepancy suggests that the Obama Administration could be succumbing to Palestinian pressure and altering its proposal to lean more toward the Arab agenda.

Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas has repeatedly stated that he will never recognize Israel as the Jewish state, and threatened to quit the peace talks over that and other US-backed Israeli conditions. 

On Sunday, Arab League head Nabil Elaraby told Al-Arabiya that he fully backs Abbas’ position, and is calling for all Arab countries to take a “firm stand” against Israel’s demand to be recognized as the Jewish state.

For Israel, the condition is a critical one because official recognition of a Jewish state by the Palestinian Authority would mean that the Arabs finally accept Israel’s right to exist in the region as the national homeland of the Jewish people, thereby precluding (presumably) any future attempts to destroy it.

 

My Schtick

First of all people like Abbas talk like fools because the smart way to defeat the Democratic State of Israel is to live with it under one roof. With the permission of the Islamic law, having four wives, the Palestinians could demographically take over. And since it is the State itself they can't stand they could have a state through demographics. But that is too farfetched for such was the son of impatience - Ishmael. 

Go figure. make peace with someone you do not see eye to eye and you do not recognize as a legitimate partner. No one ever cared about the Jew. The surface sympathy shown to the Jew in 1948 was the Jewish opportunity. The ratio proportion of Arab lands to that tiny sliver of land called Israel today is 600 - 1. What the hell they want it for? Where is the Islamic unifying love and care?

[Matthew 7:16] You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they? - Jesus said. So simple, so wise and so true. 

Mr Obama and Mr Kerry are you trying to grow grapes on thorn bushes and figs on thistles?

It is written that Ishmael's hand will be against everyone and everyone's hand will be against (today's Arabs).  

[Genesis 16:11-12] And you shall call his name Ishmael, because the LORD has given heed to your affliction. He will be a wild donkey of a man, his hand will be against everyone, and everyone’s hand will be against him; and he will live to the east of all his brothers.

This wildness has not gone anywhere. Arabs will implode. Those who are still in Islam should run for their lives for this prophecy comes to pass.

POLITICS & PREJUDICE

The Catholic Church embarked on a mission to woo Protestant leaders, especially of the Faith Movement to join the church. The Argentinian Pope Francis knows well about the growth of those churches in South America. The “culprit” is the Faith Movement that “steals” the Catholic sheep. The Swedish founder of the “Word of Life” Church in Uppsala Sweden, Ulf Ekman, has just joined the Catholic Church. The Pope now also woos Kenneth Copeland. Ekman likes the priesthood, he said, (the robes, I suppose) the organization (as if God loves organizations, which are Kenite and temporary); and he likes the liturgies and ceremonies. I wonder if any of these big preachers are really born again.

JUST A THOUGHT

The more you understand the more you know and the more you know the wiser you become. That’s just a natural progress of things. Some people may be afraid to know too much, but one cannot ever have too much of knowledge when it comes to God, His Kingdom as it is both plainly and secretly presented to us in His Word. There are messages that are plainly on the table, but also messages that are under the table. Those on the inside, dwelling in God’s chambers; can let you in on some secrets; provided you are up to speed to get them. 

God hired laborers for the harvest, but He also has sons. In Matthew 7:20-24 we read something very wise and quite plain. We know them by their outward fruits. Perhaps most of those in religion are only hirelings and not sons? Hired hands (the laborers hired only for the harvest) must carry God’s truth, thus they are anointed, but only for that service of harvesting. The sons may be a bit lethargic for to them belongs everything; so they are not as ambitious as the hirelings are. The hirelings work for the glory bit, fame and money, but sons do not.

HOW EASILY ONE CAN BE PREJUDICED
 

I often said in my meetings. “All that I preach is the Truth and I would risk my life for what I proclaim, that’s how well I know what God places on my tongue and who actually speaks, not me but Him. But if someone stepped into the meeting and shouted, “All this preacher says is a complete lie. Don’t listen to him!”  I guarantee you that many would be deeply perturbed and perhaps even the majority would agree with the shouter against the preacher. Why would that be so? God’s Word is like the uncomfortable sword and as the prophet Jeremiah said, it is fire and hammer that shatters rocks (Jeremiah 23:29). The Word of Truth penetrates, it pierces and the flesh hates it. Subconsciously people do not like it; so any arising “opportunity” like that of the shouter quickly gets them off the hook. Subconsciously people wish to see yet another fallen preacher. The root of self-righteousness can’t wait to sprout and take over the garden. Just think about it.

Greeks seek philosophy and they indoctrinate for they do not know the individual freedom. Once you lay down the rail tracks the trains will go on them having no freedom to go anywhere else; so it is with indoctrination. Most of today’s Bible preaching is indoctrination, although some well meaning teachers do not even know it. Figuring out the future events is indoctrination leaving no room for each individual. I do not do this. I leave it all up to you. I educate and reason. Some do not like that freedom, which requires responsibility. Some would rather be indoctrinated so when bad times come they can blame the preacher for it. Some turn their back on religion, church and a preacher for they have been so disappointed.

INDOCTRINATION

Indoctrination is a borderline brainwashing and anyone allowing him or herself thus be brainwashed surrender their freedom. Then people must cope with disagreements saying, ‘I don’t believe it. It is false. You are false, etc.’ Why? Because they were indoctrinated and became like that choo-choo train that runs on the same tracks over and over again. They never tasted space, which is grace, which is freedom. False piety and religiousness can be easily broken with higher knowledge.

FORCING ONE'S HAND WITH A BELIEF

Here we see how the business competitors and racists swayed one of the future US presidents who was dubbed into discrimination. Here is an excerpt of the story. 

Grant’s order prohibited the issuing of trade licenses to Jews within the Tennessee district. Furthermore, it required them to leave the district within 24 hours of the order or risk imprisonment. Grant’s zealous underlings immediately began to enforce the order: Entire families were marched out of town with only what they could carry.

According to the American Jewish Historical Society’s research, Lincoln did not know about Grant’s order and expressed surprise when a group of Jewish leaders met with him to protest Grant’s decree. President Lincoln disapproved of the order and expressed his disbelief to Grant in a letter: “a paper purporting to be [issued by you] has been presented here. It expels all Jews from your department. If such an order has been issued, it will be immediately revoked.” Three days later, Grant obeyed the commander in chief’s orders and revoked General Order No. 11. Lincoln later told Jewish representatives, “To condemn a class is, to say the least, to wrong the good with the bad” and promised to not only rid the country of slavery, but to protect Americans from religious discrimination.

Grant’s reputation was not tarnished by the General Order No. 11 episode. In fact, after the war, most Americans regarded Grant as a hero and he went on to win the majority of the Jewish vote in the presidential election of 1868. As president, he appointed Jews to top federal positions.
