Persecuted for speaking the truth

Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon apologized. He had to.

Benjamin netanyahu force his Defense Minister into silence and submission. — Benjamin Netanyahu force his Defense Minister into silence and submission.

OP-ED by Gonen Ginat, in Israel Hayom.

Regular Israelis, however, are exempt from such diplomatic etiquette, free to clarify to the Americans what they know anyway, as anybody who regularly deals with Israeli popular opinion polls knows: namely, that the vast majority of Israelis believe that Ya’alon, before the apology, spoke the truth. They believe he was right.

The Americans were furious. Self-appointed experts in etiquette and propriety set out to compete over rolling eyes and sanctimonious pronouncements (making sure to be widely quoted).

But, as the dust settles, the Americans deserve to know: The majority of us are with Ya’alon, the man who spoke not only what he believes, but what most of us believe too.

Ya’alon was never great at civil talk or clean speech. He may even be a little naive. Actually, he may be very naive. Ya’alon actually believed in the upstanding quality of the people at Yedioth Ahronoth, that he could speak openly without having to fear that his comments would be leaked. They promised him that. But who believes a word Yedioth says anymore? Only a very naive person.

As a politician, Ya’alon differs from the norm, so much so that he has to strap on high boots to avoid the snakes. He said what was on his mind without sanctimony. He didn’t play around. We’re not used to people telling us the truth. We aren’t used to a politician who speaks the truth.

Now that Ya’alon has spoken the truth, we have to ask: What if he was correct?

My comment:

I hope Ya’alon has learned from this moment of truth. And in particular about Benjamin Netanyahu’s willingness to compromise on truth.

Please read the fairy tale by Danish author H.C Andersen.

“The emperor has no clothes”.

When the last and final antichrist arrive in Jerusalem, he will be hailed by the multitudes. But a sizable numbers of true witnesses will claim, that this man and his followers are blind and naked.

Among claimed to be Christians, you find a lot of such people.

Revelation 3:17
You say, “I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.” But you do not realise that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.

Bayit Yehudi MK glad Sharon was removed

Livni calls MK Struck’s comments evil and unintelligent; Marzel: “I’m glad Sharon, a threat to Israel, was removed.”

MK Orit Struck spoke the truth about Sharon, but not in a sensitive and loving way.

MK Orit Struck apologized for expressing gratitude that God stopped former prime minister Ariel Sharon from perpetuating further tragedies upon settlers on Sunday morning.

Struck told Galey Yisrael radio host Kalman Liebskind that she was not sufficiently sensitive and made her comments too early.

Later Sunday, Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovich said he plans to investigate displays of happiness about Sharon’s death.

“This is despicable conduct and I will not ignore it,” Aharonovich stated. “I asked the police to investigate and take care of the issue quickly and professionally. I take such criminal behavior seriously.”

Justice Minister Tzipi Livni said Struck’s remarks are “disgusting incitement that embarrasses the Knesset.”

“This displays her lack of intelligence. She isn’t reflecting what [Sharon] did, it shows she’s evil,” Livni told Army Radio, repeating the word “evil” several times.

Livni expressed concern about other right-wing extremists’ actions.

My comment:

No one should desire the death on any human being. Jesus the Messiah abolished the death penalty, by being the blood atonement for our sins.

The word “removal” of Arial Sharon must have been misunderstood. It is not immoral to pray for the removal of Sharon from the political leadership of Israel. But to say so on the time of his departure is being insensitive.

But going against the Word of God and surrender God’s land to the pagans, surely comes with consequences. As it always have done:

Deuteronomy 30:15

See, I set before you today life and prosperity, death and destruction.

Deuteronomy 30:19

This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live.

Arial Sharon was a good fighter, an intelligent strategic planner of the military defense of Israel. But as a politician, Arial Sharon was no success. His legacy will forever be painted by his complete fiasco in Gaza.

For the Arabs in Gaza Sharon was a disaster. By ordering the destruction of all Jewish properties in Gush Katif, Sharon opened the doors for the Hamas. Today the Arabs in Gaza are living as slaves for one of the most despotic and cruel terrorist regimes on Earth.

For the state of Israel, the withdrawal from Jewish land was of its gravest mistakes. The Hamas and Islamic Jihad has fired more than 8.000 rockets into South Israel, as a thank for this “peace gesture” of Sharon.

The former General ended his political legacy by splitting the ruling Likud party. Sharon formed a new party, “Kadima”, or Forward. Today this party holds two seats in the Knesset, and is mostly considered as nuisance. What Sharon did was to take a huge step backwards on behalf of the state of Israel.

Main sticking point in “framework deal”: 1967 borders

Framework deal could refer to “1967” without the word “borders”. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry expected to return to Israel next week.

These man liberated Jerusalem in 1967. Kerry tries to revoke their victory. — These man liberated Jerusalem in 1967. The Obama administration and secular liberal Jews tries to revoke their victory.

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro: Nine-month negotiating window could be extended.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry may have just left Israel this past Monday, but it is already expected that he will return next week as part of his continuing effort to achieve a “framework agreement” between Israel and the Palestinians.

The main remaining point of contention regarding a framework deal is how the 1967 borders will be referred to in it. The Palestinians are demanding that the agreement declare that the peace negotiations will be based on the 1967 borders, while Israel opposes such a declaration.

For its part, the U.S. is interested in the deal including a clause referring to the 1967 borders with land swaps, explaining that this has been “the consistent American position” over the past two decades of Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, as evidenced by various past negotiation documents.

One possibility is that the framework deal will refer to “1967” without the word “borders.” Such a solution would be similar to the one included in the “Roadmap for Peace” signed in April 2003 by then-Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.

The wording of the clause would be along the lines of —

“The goal is to end the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian population that began in 1967, while understanding and taking into account changes that have occurred on the ground.”
In essence, a declaration like this would preserve Israel’s right to the Jerusalem region and settlement blocs.

My comment:

Is it possible to sign a “peace agreement” between an existing state and a wanabee statehood mentioning “1967′, but remove the word borders?

Possible, but than you must include something about the weather. Or what about the Beatles?

The album “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” was released in June 1967.

What a wonderful coincidence.

Be aware than all nations needs borders. The eastern border of Israel must always go long the Jordan river. And by the way: There has never been a “Palestinian people”. They are all Arabs.

Bennett gives Netanyahu ultimatum on Zionism

Bayit Yehudi leader says ongoing Israeli-Palestinian talks “have only brought us terror”.

Naftali Bennet fights for the survival of the Jewish state of Israel. The Messiah will come to His rescue.

Bayit Yehudi chairman and Economy Minister Naftali Bennett says won’t accept deal with PA based on pre-1967 lines. He warns his faction will not be part of gov’t that agrees to withdraw from land.

Bennett dismissed on Tuesday the possibility of swapping land with the Palestinians for peace or security.

The ongoing Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations “have only brought us terror,” Bennett said at an Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) conference.

He further warned that the establishment of an independent Palestinian state under any future peace deal will lead to terror.

The Palestinian children who were born at the time the 1993 Oslo accord was agreed upon are now 21 and have grown up on incitement, he said. “No piece of paper will change this.”

Bennett turned to recent international pressure on Israel to accept a diplomatic plan that that would not be optimal for Israel saying “we will never give up on Jerusalem. We won’t accept a deal based on the sixty-seven lines.”

The Bayit Yehudi leader said his factions would not be part of a government that makes decisions to withdraw from land.

My comment:

As I have said for the last years.

National religious settlers will stand as a witness in Jerusalem of God’s faithfulness towards the Jewish people. They will be hated by all the nations, and many of them will be martyred.

Together with them, stand Messianic Jews and Evangelical Christians. They are one of the two lamp stands that served God of the Hebrews on the face of the Earth. A remnant of God.

We will soon see that the majority of the Jewish people are ready to abandon the instructions they have got from God. They do no longer want to serve God of the Bible, but rather succumb to international pressure put on the Jewish state to achieve her surrender.

When the spirit that holds back the last man of lawlessness, he will appear, and be presented as the “prince of peace ” in Jerusalem. And all unclean spirits will rejoice, and so will all who are filled with them.
Be ready for a bumpy ride.
