Secret Deals

Whether or not Dr. Guy Bechor is correct in his reporting that Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is secretly making a deal with the Arabs residing in Judea/Samaria and Gaza that would give away approximately 6,250 square kilometers, (all of Judea/Samaria, AKA the West Bank), Gaza, and divide Jerusalem, it remains a fact that there is nothing Olmert is trying to give away now, that Ehud Barak did not attempt to give away to Arafat in 2000 at Camp David.

Then, as now, the Arabs want everything, and are not satisfied when the Jews give them practically everything they ask for. But because it is not, in truth, EVERYTHING they asked for, the Arabs act as if Israel is putting stumbling blocks in front of the so-called “Peace Process”.

Shouldn’t Israel have learned by now, that the goal for the Arab in Israel (Oh, excuse me, the future Islamic State) is not peace. The issue is not Arab nationalism. The issue is the Muslim belief of the pre-eminence of Islam over Judaism. Because Islamic rulers once ruled over the area now held by Israel during an interim period during which the Jews were in Exile, Islam cannot abide the thought that do not now control the same area. This is because it means Allah does not reign supreme.

This is a fact the Muslim cannot acknowledge. It is a war between the G-d of Israel, and the god of Islam. (And no…the two are not now, nor ever were, the same.)

Ehud Olmert is placing himself squarely on the enemy’s side. He is making himself an enemy of HaShem. As it says in the Tanach in the prophet Yoel:

(taken from the JPS version)

For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring back the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,

2
I will gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat; and I will enter into judgment with them there for My people and for My heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and divided My land.

3
And they have cast lots for My people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, and have drunk.

4
And also what are ye to Me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the regions of Philistia? will ye render retribution on My behalf? and if ye render retribution on My behalf, swiftly, speedily will I return your retribution upon your own head.

I don’t think I would want to be an enemy of HaShem. I also think Ehud Olmert would do well to take a moment and reflect on who he is siding against.
