ISRAEL
FIGHTS ON - AMERICA BATTLES CULTURAL WAR
Tuesday, March 23, 2004
Israel is being pressured to adopt a Washington plan to force all
Jews in Gaza to move from their homes. Many Israelis have come to
fear Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s agenda to unilaterally
evacuate all Jews – because this could result in the formation
of a Hamas-mini-state. Israeli leaders are calling on law-makers
to thwart the plot – but it has been made clear by “highly
placed officials in the U.S. Defense Department” that Sharon
has informed Washington of his intention to put the Gaza retreat
in motion by May 1, 2004.
During Sharon’s 2002 election campaign he expressed the importance
of the isolated Gaza settlement and said evacuating such communities
would only “encourage terrorism and increase the pressure
on Israel.”
A family that lives in Gaza is the Cohen family. They live in Kfar
Darom, an area that once was Gaza’s main north-south highway.
The Cohen family knows the viciousness of a terror attack. A school
bus that carried their three oldest children to school was the target
of a terrorist ambush. Their daughter Tehila lost both legs, Israel
(age 10) lost a leg, and another daughter lost a foot.
Noga Cohen, the mother of these dear children said: “everybody’s
scared here. The children know they have to overcome it.”
Then she added: “If we give in to the Arabs, they’ll
take more and more, and we’ll end up in Tel Avie, and then,
they’ll take that.”
Why does the U.S. put pressure on Israel to tolerate terrorism?
Why do we seek to force a “Road-Map” plan or the evacuation
of Gaza?
Israel has every right to fight terrorism and to defend her people.
We must stand up and be counted in America and support Israel, our
only ally in the Middle East. Why didn’t we go and protect
Israel before we went to Iraq?
The Palestinians, led by the Mother of terrorism, Arafat, want
to drive the entire population of Israel into the sea. We must speak
up now. God’s word say He will bless those who bless Israel
and curse those who curse Israel.
Listen to what Pastor Martin Neimoller of Germany has to say:
“In Germany they first came for the Communists and I didn’t
speak up because
I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews and I didn’t speak up because
I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists and I didn’t speak
up because I wasn’t a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Catholics and I didn’t speak up because
I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me…and by that time there was no one left
to speak up.”
