As I have traveled and matured a bit I have now come to the realization that this teaching can never be applied to a nation with a large Muslim population.

Muslims must be ruled by the hand of a king or by authoritarian rule for there to be any form or freedom for all people.

The Recent deposing of Egypt’s former President Hosni Mubarak was hailed a victory for freedom all around the world.  Many Christians, and other peaceful Egyptians protested side by side for national change and the chance of greater freedom.

However, Al Qaeda, Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood were, behind the scenes promoting the democratic change.  One might ask why would Iran and Al Qaeda be interested in democratic change.

The answer is simple, Egypt has a vast majority of Muslims who are supportive of Iran and who share a common hatred for Israel.  Therefore, any election in such a democracy would be certain to bring a greater Islamic rule and, in short season, a reduction of freedoms of those who do not share Sharia Law.

So, when you hear of demonstrations in the Middle East and the cry for democracy understand that two parties are in play, those who truly are seeking new freedoms for the good of men and those who are seeking the freedom for the good of Islamic rule.

Unfortunately, those who seek freedom for the good of men are vastly out numbered by those who support Islamic rule.

It makes me wonder why the President of the United States was so eager to seek the fall of President Mubarak especially when a democratic Egypt would likely bring on greater restrictions to Christians and other religions:  just a thought.

That nation, today lives under a constant threat of terror and aggression from its neighbors that selfless nation is Israel.

Most would never guess that living in such a precarious situation that the people of Israel would even consider giving the time to consider helping others in need.

However, despite the ever present threat to the Israeli people they remain effectively, at the ready, and grateful to act at the most inconvenient of times.

Most peaceful nations have aid mechanisms and rescue units, and their members always eager to help those in need, but none seem so eager to volunteer than the Israeli people.

Many nations tend to want to provide aid and do promise it, yet they often don’t get direct personal to the areas in need for one reason or the other.  National politics, often plays a roll and more times than not conflicts with human compassion.

Israels Fast Israeli Rescue & Search Team (F.I.R.S.T.) has become so effective at identifying and responding to the world communities disasters that they deserve the recognition of being one of the best rescue groups if not the best. F.I.R.S.T. a 500 plus rescue unit of volunteers is fast becoming a standard and model for world rescue and search teams.

The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs MASHAV program (Hebrew acronym for Israel’s Center for International Cooperation) has become more and more instrumental at providing and often leading the world in Global Humanitarian Assistance.

The devastating earthquake in Haiti gained much world attention, but instead of sending doctors and engineers most nations send donations which delayed the recovery.  It was Israel that responded quickly.

The United States did as well, but not as much with its national relief systems.  The greatest assistance from the United States came from private non-profit Christian organizations who actually overshadowed the American national response.  The Obama Administration didn’t seem to know how to handle the situation and in stead sent armed troops.  Fortunately, Israel sent a badly needed full field hospital just in time.  These responses from Israel have shown the world community that Israel is fast approaching the leader in disaster response.

Japan, shocked by an unexpected world record earthquake and tsunami has just been informed that Israel has immediately offered its assistance of aid and support staff. This natural disaster has devastated  Japan and will likely take months to recover from.  However, Japan can be certain that the aid offered, by Israel, will actually meet the immediate needs of the Japanese people: Israel will be there.

Israel has become not only a friend to those in need, but they are a friend the world community can count on.  This little nation doesn’t come with a fat wallet, but rather with a dedication and care that is second to none.

Their volunteers and field personnel come to as brothers and sisters.  They promise to be there and they keep their word not with donations and empty promises but with doctors, nurses, engineers and rescue teams.

Nevertheless, from the point of view of the U.S. political cycle and the risks we face in Iran, I’m thinking that now is probably a good time for Israel to “pull the trigger.” Among Republicans, I’m pretty sure they will be cheered by the Israeli strike and pleased to see that force is used to put down the Iranians who obviously wish us ill.

In fact, a large majority of us – conservatives and independents – would applaud this action.   For example, a recent Fox News/Opinion Dynamics poll of 900 registered voters on April 6-7, 2010 shows 61% support in response to the question worded: “Do you support or oppose the United States taking military action to keep Iran from getting nuclear weapons?”

Among prominent Democrats, however, I think we can safely predict that “pulling the trigger” will not be a popular option. As far as I can tell, liberal Democrats are always against war and it does not matter who the bad guys are or what kind of weapons they have on the launch pad.

Ironically, even foreign wars have a way of dividing us up along partisan lines. Given this context, the natural question would be when is the right time to “pull the trigger?” For example, from the standpoint of U.S. politics, is the time to pull the trigger now, just prior to November, after November, or in the Spring (or later) of 2011?

If Israel pulled the trigger now, I think it is safe to say that this action would energize Republicans and independents, while – at the same time – it would stoke a heated debate about whether or not Israel did the right thing. Such a debate, in my view, would assist Republicans in contrasting themselves with the Democrats who would be busy attacking Israel for making a pre-emptive strike.

Consequently, the debate would provide Republicans with a nationalized public issue that broke in their favor.

Ironically, if Israel waited to “pull the trigger” just prior to November, then it would create a temporary rally-around-the-flag effect for President Obama that might impact the mid-term elections. Obama’s popularity would rise temporarily as he took normal actions to insure that the conflict between Iran and Israel did not escalate into World War III.

Right now, we have a lot of military strength in Afghanistan, right near Iran, so it would be difficult for Russia or China to do much to defend Iran – if that was their objective.

If Israel attacks just prior to the November elections, then it would strengthen the military image of Obama, and – perhaps – give him an excuse — if he wishes to temporarily gain support by demonstrating a modest level of allied defense for Israel’s actions. I do not see how Obama could do anything to harm Israel under this timing scenario without making things worse for his Democrat party.

If Israel pulls the trigger right after November, then Obama will have almost total freedom – electorally speaking – to do whatever he wants included issuing a strong attack on Israel and potentially supporting sanctions against Israel as part of a larger effort to distract people from the poor U.S. economy. This would be the best option for Obama because he would build his ties to his base, long before he needed to pretend to be a centrist again in time for the 2012 Presidential election. From the point of view of Israel, this looks like the worst time to pull the trigger to me.

If Israel attacks in the Spring of 2011, the issue will not have too much of a partisan electoral impact within the U.S. Israel would be facing a less conservative Congress, and would still be in the doghouse with President Obama. This analysis would be particularly poignant if, as Defense Secretary Gates suggests, Iran could expedite matters and have a nuke by the Spring of 2011. So, my conclusion is that the sooner Israel pulls the trigger, the better it will be for her in ending an existential threat from Iran and for assisting her true and loyal friends in the United States.

Why is the EU and UN so desperate to force Israel to give up the land they captured prior to the 1949 Armistice Agreements?

EU Foreign Policy Chief Catherin Ashton, recently visited Gaza and reiterated  the view that “East Jerusalem is occupied territory, together with the West Bank.” Her support for the Palestinian cause is not difficult to spot, nor her disdain for the Jewish state.  Shortly after Ashton arrived in Gaza, a rocket fired by Palestinians  killed  a Thai farm worker within the Israeli border.  Ashton’s comment was not a condemnation of  those Palestinians responsible, but instead  a well crafted politically generic statement “I condemn any kind of violence”  that would insure no perceived support for the Zionist.  This callous comment represents, as a whole, the European Unions outwardly expressed public policy toward the Israeli Palestinian conflict.  

To solidify this  anti Jewish message  UN Chief Ban Ki-moon arrived just a few days later to tour both the West Bank and Gaza  and again demand that all occupied land be handed over to the Palestinians and that Hamas be given full access to Egypt.  No mention of the violence that may ensue from this action, instead Palestinian violence has been all together ignored.  Both visits seemed to have been well coordinated and focused upon placing heavy pressure upon the evil actions of the Zionist State under the control of  Benjamin

Netanyahu  who dared defy Europe’s elite.

Interesting enough, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton  at the annual policy conference of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee said that

“New construction in East Jerusalem or the West Bank undermines mutual trust and endangers the proximity talks that are the first step toward the full negotiations that both sides want and need.”

Hypocrisy has never been so deep.  The Arab nations and their allies the Palestinian land owners forfeited the West bank and East Jerusalem when they decided to destroy Israel and then failed.  Every county demanding that Israel not build on occupied lands have, to their own territory, lands taken from conquest: usually as the aggressor not the defender.  Therefore, in all rights, these disputed lands belong to Israel.

So, why is Israel always being targeted as the aggressor?  The truth is simple, God blesses them and because of this they draw attention to themselves.  Atheists, certainly will disagree with this, so  lets just say that the Jewish people have a propensity to uncommon success.  Granted, on occasion, they over react to a terrorist event or two and create their own bad press.

I dare say that few of those who condemn Israel really can understand their own reasoning for anger.  It seems to be out of a shared psychotic disorder that this anger arises where a small minority influences the collectives beliefs.  This is easily evidenced by studying the rise and fall of the Nazi state.  The sad conclusion here is that Nazism was not extinguished with Hitlers death, but is alive and well within Europe today.  Europe’s leadership would fiercely Deny this claim, by playing down their own unbalanced and biased treatment of Israel while at the same time desensitizing their own people again to blatant Jew hating.

Netanyahu certainly has a fight on his hands, and his only defence is to remain firm and resolved in the face of a perceived overwhelming set of odds.  Recently his brother-in-law made a seemingly tack-less accusation that Barack Obama was antisemitic and hatted Israel, Netanyahu distanced himself from the comment.  Sometimes political tack needs to be surrendered in order to expose the truth.

President Obama and his Secretary of State often note how strong ties are with Israel, but in a well let room it is easily observed that those strong ties were not built upon the Democratic Party, but by the people who now reject Obama.  It would be in Israel’s best interest to take advice from established friends and not those who now seek to diminish the State of Israel.  Israel’s right to exist is directly tied into its right to defend, grow and act as a sovereign state without molestation from its neighbors or any world power.  Israel’s only hope to survive is to rule its land in its best interest, by embracing their right to say NO!

One thing is true, most of the time good information is hard to come by and what  is provided is often convoluted with contradiction and half truths.

Therefore, in order to truly understand the situation, it is important to not only write the truths, but expose them in action.

The Gaza Strip is now controlled by Hamas after months of violent confrontations with Fatah.

Currently, the United States and England consider Hamas a terrorist organization, with Hamas denying the allegation.

The Palestinian people have no choice, but to tolerate Hamas, weather they want to or not.   Eveidence of kidnapping, murders and tourture seem to be common place.

The truth of he matter is, that in all likely hood, Hamas is really an Arab lead organization, with one true goal: destroy or remove as much strategic land from Israel regardless of the consequences to the Palestinian.

Hamas is able to get away with this, likely because the Palestinians, as a people, have never really understood what good leadership is; therefore, they have been forced into a symbiotic relationship with Hamas.

WARNING GRAPHIC - CHILDREN SHOULD NOT WATCH

Fatah being executed by Hamas!

This relationship is not unlike what would be found in the Stockholm syndrome, but in a massive scale.

This could not have ever occurred, on such a scale, except that would be found in refugee camps were the desperation was so great that to survive whole families could easily be convinced of what ever an authority suggested.  Therefore, hate, war, blood shed and a fleeting life  all become as expectant to the Palestinian as death.  Songs of joy and hope are long lost, born out of the Palestinian in place of usefulness.

This is the only explanation for why a mother would strap a bomb onto her child and then be glad for his death.

The manipulation of he Palestinian people by Hamas may not be why Israel, the United States, England, Australia or Japan recognize Hamas as a terrorist organization, but for this article it is sufficient enough.

The Palestinian people will never be free of violence until Hamas is asked to leave.

Remember the the truth is often a causality of political or ideological gain and its death often comes through excessive explanation that become much to complicated to follow: if your truth isn’t simple it may not be the truth.

The decision to place additional defensive assets can only come for three reasons one they were requested by the gulf states themselves because of the potential threat from Iran; secondly because Iran is just about to be militarily hit by Israel or jointly with the U.S.  and finally significant and painful sanctions.

Admiral Mike Mullens the Chairman of he Joint Chiefs reiterated that a Nuclear Iran “would destabilize the middle east”: in total  the pentagon and the Obama Whitehouse are in agreement that a nuclear weapon is the ultimate goal of Iran: time for political sparing may have ran out for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Now with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton making the rounds in the gulf states,  it seems obvious that patience for Iranian defiance may be at an end.

However, the rattling of swords and beating of drums are just a gesture of things to come, and it remains to be seen if our newly elected President can muster the will and nerve to handle the job requirement.

Ahmadinejad has two options, hold and face sanctions or war in the face of additional opposition protests to his leadership, or submit to the international community.

Unfortunately, Ahmadinejad’s history is to crush opposition and disregard the international community.

While the UN and other states hold out for a reasonable response from Iran they just keep overlooking the obvious:  Ahmadinejad truly, believes that he is building the foundations of a new Islamic empire.

Therefore, Ahmadinejad’s reasoning is delusional and reasoning is not a language he will understand.

If President Obama is ever going to lead, he had better stop letting his Secretary of State do it for him.

The Iranian issue may never be handled right if the President of the United States doesn’t become directly involved.

Unfortunately, his agenda for his personal “NEW DEAL” to reshape the American government is his priority and legacy.

This personality flaw or unbalanced set of priorities could cost American lives, international respect and certainly the initiative with Iran.

This is well known by the west; however,  few have ever attempted to take into account the number of radical Muslims, as a military force, directly associated with a world Islamic movement or government.

This is likely because Islam has historically been seen as a religion and not a governmental system.

Yet, that may be changing. With Iran’s  Ayatollah’s now calling for the Islamic world to gather for the coming of their awaited al-Mahdi al-Montazar, this consideration, of a world Islamic confederation, takes on new meaning.

In a Gallup poll it was found that of the 1.3 billion Muslims in the world 7% were radical. This means that 91 million radical Islamists are ideologically prepared to convert, subjugate or kill those in the way of this new alliance.

Taking that number into context, lets say for an American, where .08% of the population serve militarily which translates into a military force standing at or around 2.4 million personal;  this may be cause for concern.

Granted, this does not include militaries from other western nations or even former military civilians, nor would all of the  radical 7% fight in a conflict: voluntarily.

Regardless, it is a sobering thought especially when so much of  the media downplays the threat of radical Islam and western nations inadequately prepare their citizens for such a potential threat.

It also gives one pause, when world leaders begin suggesting that terrorist cells may be at work in their neighborhood when instead their likely battalions.

So, what is Islam, an ideology, world government or a religion?

Is it possible that the world has classified this system incorrectly, as a religion and instead it is a both a religion and world governmental system all in one?

Is it possible that the true fighting force of these nations are not merely their uniformed service personal, but all those who pursue the goals of radical Islam?

Why are governments bowing to the Islamic communities insistence of allowing Sharia law?  In looking into this one may find a shocking revelation.

After 9-11 where were those moderate Muslims: there were few to cry out against Islamic terror.

Does this mean that Islam protects Islam, regardless of the act, or are fear of reprisals the reason few Muslims came out against the 9-11 attacks?

In the last few years more Muslims have come out against the attack, but what was the delay?

There are obviously more questions than I have answers for, but one thing I have learned  is  that there something to be said for gut feelings.

Netanyahu, has been under so much pressure from The United States and UN members to turn the West Bank over to the Palestestinais that he may be at the end of his rope.

Recently Netanyahu, demanded that any Palestinian West Bank would be required to allow the Israeli military   to patrol all Jordon border areas.

This new demand requirement from Netayahu likely was unwelcome information to the Palestinians and Mitchell.

Sadly, it may be more than just news about a new demand, but a realization that Netanyahu is prepared to consider giving the West Bank up to the Palestinians.

If this is the case, Israel needs to move quickly and show no confidence vote in Mr. Netanyahu.

The West bank is Israel and provides additional buffer space in case of another attack. Israel’s existence is truly on the line here.

History is always a necessary gage when it comes to decisions like this.  Israel must not forget those who died in the 1948 war of independence and the reason they died.

Arabs never wanted to Jews to have a home land of their own, this includes those referred to as Palestinians.  In recalling history those we refer to as Palestinians actually left the West Bank voluntarily because Israel had taken it after Jordon had endeavored to destroy Israel because they had become a nation.

The Palestinians were so angry that Israel was now in control of the region, that they voluntarily left in anger that Jews actually survived the supported effort to destroy them and their newly formed nation.  Therefore they abandoned the land, and in all rights, the land belongs to Israel.

It would be in Israel’s best interest to never for get this.  If the current population wants to remain they should do so as Israeli citizens.

Since this is only a short article a short explanation must suffice. The Palestinian dislikes the Jew: the Jew tolerates the Palestinian. The Jewish people have been persecuted since the Assyrians conquered Israel in 722 BC, since then the Jewish people have often been uprooted and rejoined to their home land of Israel. Finally, in 70AD the Romans drove the Jews out of Israel when they destroyed their temple, of which now sits the Muslim Dome of the Rock. The Palestinians on the other hand, are directly related to the Philistines a migratory people likely from the Aegean. These people are believed to have settled in what is know as the Gaza Strip in the 12th Century BC and as per Biblical accounts were often warring with Israel. The term Palestine, which consisted of Israel and Judea, was named by the Roman Emperor Hadrian as an insult to the Jews because of their attempt in 132 AD to retake their land back: they failed. It is important to understand that when we talk about the Palestinians we are not discussing Arabs. This is key when it comes to the reasons why other Arab nations just don’t allow the Palestinians into their own populations. This is generally why we have so many Palestinian refugee camps.

Ok, we know now a bit of history, not all, but likely more than we knew before. We know that Palestinians are not Arab; we know they are not from the region, and we know that the Palestinians have been warring with Israel since the 12th Century BC. So why are both sides still fighting? Well, this is because the Arabs who also hate the Jews, for another reason, have seen that they can use the Palestinians in order to facilitate the removal of Israel from the Middle East. Therefore, the Arabs who could easily assimilate the Palestinian population into their own do not. This allows for continued conflicts to occur on Israeli borders. The Palestinians cry for a homeland they never had and the Arabs are now suggesting that Israel should be destroyed because of how they treat the Palestinians. These and a few other reasons are why the United Nations and the United States can never solve this mess. Will there be continued war until the Arabs and Palestinians get their way: Of Course!

Most of us have seen the propaganda that is put out against Israel: it is reminiscent of Nazi propaganda during WWII. There is a reason for this, Amin al-Husaini the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and the Chairmen of the Arab Higher Committee was a known collaborator with the Nazi Regime and was living in Germany and learning how the Germans used mass media to influence soft minds. While in Germany Amin al-Husaini was involved in making radio broadcasts promoting the Nazi idea and that Muslims should join the Nazi empire against the Jews of the world. One of his most controversial comments was, “Arabs, arise as one man and fight for your sacred rights. Kill Jews wherever you find them. This pleases God, history, and religion. This saves your honor. God is with you.”. Statements of hate like this have led to the years of violence we now see now in the Middle East. Sadly the influences of Hitler’s empire are alive and well within the Muslim world, in the form of hate for the Jew.

Aggressive statements against Middle Eastern outsiders are not new, so where do they come from, and why are the Muslims, both Palestinian and Arab so eager to go to war? Simply said, the Quran calls for war against the unbeliever: Quran 9:123. This is a fact of life for the Muslim and has yet to sink in with much of the world who allows millions of Muslims to immigrate into their own countries yearly. Not all Muslims live a literal life from the Quran and most that immigrate are honorable people. However, often the youth of well meaning immigrant families, during their adolescent years, become susceptible to Islamic radical propaganda and fast become angry at the west and see it as an enemy nation. England and France are great examples of nations whose Muslim youth population has such an effect that they can, with their threats of street violence, shift national policy in favor of radical Islam. This I dare say, is why the United Nations is seldom supporting the nation of Israel publicly. So, what does the world do; the world try’s to contain the issue, but all the time losing ground. There is only one alternative and that is to fight the aggressor brutally, un-repentantly yet always with an olive branch in the opposite hand. This is a sad note to make, but until those who call themselves Muslims, some how, reconcile the Quran’s call to kill the infidel and spread their message with a stronger belief in the value of life and individual freedoms we will have war. For those of you who are Muslim and consider yourselves at peace from the hate of the Jew, it is your direct responsibility to change the path of other Muslims: it is your responsibility to Islam. Likewise, it is the responsibility of the Jewish Nation to measure well their responses and not be too heavily handed against the Palestinians especially because of their situation.

Islam is the first of those pending threats: knowing no other. The world’s non Muslim nations, with their backs to the wall, are caught between the ethical need to accept and the need to survive. For decades Islamic infiltrators have, out of design, made their way into soft and welcoming nations. With Muslim populations growing and more terrorist events occurring, the worlds none Muslim nations have began to recognize an Islamic agenda. Yet many still call for tolerance and acceptance. A propaganda war is now raging within western Universities previously impregnated with pro-Islamic instructors and students. This Islamic offensive has carried into the corridors of national governments including the UN leaving many blatantly anti-Semitic, reminiscent of the initial years of Nazi Germany. Streets are filled with those pushing, sharia law, hate for western policy and not to mention the Jew. Still our government bodies haven’t the fortitude to question motives. Terrorist events; threats to free speech; murder and fear are tolerated by our nations pretending that Islam will go away.

When President Obama of the United States spoke of America as not a Christian nation he openly relinquished its spiritual sovereignty to Islam. This, in no doubt, was taken by Islamists as a breach to exploit. Question their motives and your labeled Islamophobic.

Many in Western academia and government argue that only a small percentage of Muslims are jihadist, and therefore Islam, as a majority is peaceful. This argument is not only flawed, but missing even the basic elements of reason. All nations have their armies and their civilian populations. In the same manor Jihadist are the established army for the Islamic world government. The question to be asked is that after a terrorist event does the majority of Muslims condemn the attack and actively seek out Jihadist for prosecution? The overwhelming number of Muslims do noting to bring the criminal to justice, thus they indirectly expose their loyalty. Furthermore, few Muslims will ever expose radical Jihadist speech within Mosques around the western world for the same reason. This argument that only a few Muslims are radical is, on its face, negligent and deserving of prosecution of government officials.

The West has two options either submit and slowly become an Islamic land or fight and reject the Islamic take over. Fighting is counter to the West’s desire to accept all, but will insure the survival of free men. To do anything less is to surrender the world to an ideology bent on control.

This article was written as a dire warning, and to point out the peculiar nature of the Islamic world system of dominance and our desire as a free western world to accept unreservedly. Freedom can only be maintained if there are those who are willing to watch and act upon those diabolical threats that come in the form of a handshake. Many will struggle with the kind face of Islam, but at the same time they can not reconcile this with what they see on the nightly news or read in the Quran and Hadith. 1492 was the year Islam was finally pushed out of Europe by Christian fighters. How long and how many dead will it take for the Western World to realize that a smile comes just before the sword. The world is full with such good, yet such evil waits to devour.
