Begin Excerpt from Israel News Net

Hamas is very anxious to get a signed, rather than oral, agreement

with the present Israeli government before a new post election one is formed.

They re alize the new one, whether he

aded by Likud or Kadima, will be a right wing government, with which it would be much harder to get favorable truce terms. The first Excerpt deals with the formation of the new government, which will take some time. The second and third excerpts deal with the truce itself that Hamas is asking Israel to approve.

Netanyahu, Livni likely to form next Israeli Government

Israel News.Net

Thursday 12th February, 2009 (ANI)

Jerusalem, Feb 12 : The Likud and Kadima parties will be able to form the new Israeli government together under the leadership of Likud chairman Binyamin Netanyahu.

A day after Kadima leader Tzipi Livni and Netanyahu declared victory separately in Tuesday’s electi on, they both began a race against time to form a coaliti

on on paper before President Shimon Peres started the process of appointing one of them to build a government next week, the Jerusalem Post reported.

Netanyahu and Livni both met with the leader of the third largest party, Israel Beiteinu’s Avigdor Lieberm an, in

an attempt to woo him.

But Lieberman raised several demands that either prime ministerial candidate would have a hard time accepting.

Livni appointed a coalition negotiating team of five top Kadima ministers and the party will continue with its political horse-trading in an effort to persuade Peres to let Livni form a government.

Senior Kadima officials said they were well aware that Peres would ask Netanyahu to form a government because of the Right bloc’s 65-55 advantage over the Left, and that if Likud offered Kadima a sweet deal, they should take it.

Netanyahu’s associates revealed that he would be willing to give Kadima the same number of ministries as the Likud, including two of the top four cabinet positions.

Likud would get the premiership and the Treasury, while Kadima could be given the Foreign and Defense ministries.

Likud leader Binyamin Netanyahu would reportedly offer Kadima leader Tzipi Livni two out of the top four ministries to join his government.

“We’re ready to be very generous to Kadima in plum portfolios and power, to lock them into our government. You have to pay a price to get that kind of stability, and I think he would be willing to pay a heavy price,” a source close to Netanyahu said.

Hamas ‘set for truce with Israel’

A long-term truce between the Palestinian militant group Hamas and Israel may be announced within days, Hamas officials said in Cairo.

Border crossings would reportedly be re-opened and a ceasefire would be called for 18 months under the Egyptian-brokered deal.

Israel and Hamas called unilateral truces at the end of Israel’s offensive against Gaza last month.

US envoy George Mitchell recently urged the sides to extend their ceasefire.

There was no immediate Israeli reaction to Thursday’s announcement by Hamas officials.

‘Obstacles removed’

Moussa Abu Marzouk, a deputy leader of Hamas, said the truce would be announced within 48 hours.

“We have agreed to the truce with the Israeli side for one year and a half [in return] for the opening of all six passages between the Gaza Strip and Israel, and the halting of all military activity and aggression,” he was quoted as saying by the Egyptian state news agency Mena.

Hamas, he added, would first have to consult with other Palestinian factions.

Taher al-Nono, a member of Hamas’s negotiating team in Cairo, was earlier quoted by Reuters as saying that the deal would be announced within three days.

“Most of the obstacles that prevented us from reaching an agreement were resolved,” he said.

Hamas: 18-month Gaza truce won’t be linked to Schalit deal

February 12, 2009

BRENDA GAZZAR and HERB KEINON , THE JERUSALEM POST

Hamas deputy leader Moussa Abu Marzouk said on Thursday that his organization supports an 18-month truce with Israel, thought it would not be linked to a prisoner exchange deal to free kidnapped IDF soldier Gilad Schalit.

Reuters quoted Abu Marzouk as saying that the Egypt-mediated truce would be announced in the coming two or three days. “It will be in a short period, God willing… within two days,” he was quoted as saying.

Abu Marzouk, in Cairo for truce talks with Egyptian intelligence chief Omar Suleiman, told Al-Jazeera that Hamas was waiting for Israel to approve the details of the emerging agreement.

Taher Nunu, another member of the Hamas delegation in Egypt, also said the cease-fire would be officially announced within three days.

“Most of the obstacles preventing us from consolidating an agreement have already been solved,” Nunu said, adding that the agreement would ensure an end to the fighting with Israel and the opening of the crossings into Gaza.

Earlier, a senior Egyptian official said “the discussions with Hamas representatives in Cairo were very successful” and an agreement would be signed as early as Thursday night.

The delegation also included Hamas “Foreign Minister” Mahmoud Zahar and Gaza legislator Salah Bardawil, an Egyptian official said.

Hamas would accept an 18-month truce if Israel stopped its “aggression,” i.e. attacks, lifted its blockade and opened the Israeli border crossings with the Gaza Strip, the official said earlier Thursday.

Hamas was trying to find out which specific construction and agricultural materials Israel plans to bar from entering the Gaza Strip. Israel is concerned the raw materials will be used to manufacture weapons and bunkers.

In addition, Hamas is interested in securing a written agreement with Israel, while Israel wants an oral agreement.

The delegation “has decided to stay until the Egyptian side gets answers from the Israelis about all their questions and demands,” he said.

Hamas also wants to establish a mechanism to observe the implementation of an agreement that would be headed by Egypt and include the participation of other countries, the official said.

Hamas officials have told the Arab media they want to ensure that Israel will keep the crossings open throughout the duration of the truce.

A senior Hamas official in Gaza said on Thursday that he was optimistic that a cease-fire would be achieved regardless of whether Kadima leader Tzipi Livni or Likud head Binyamin Netanyahu led the next government.

“The international community is putting some pressure on both [Israel and Hamas] and the Egyptians are also trying to do their best to make sure that both parties will agree to certain terms of a cease-fire,” Ahmed Yousef, Hamas’s “deputy foreign minister,” told The Jerusalem Post by telephone.

“I don’t think that the Israelis will challenge the world community when it comes to opening the crossings and rebuilding Gaza,” Yousef said.

But he also said that he did not think that Livni and Netanyahu “have any vision for peace.”

“They have an ethnic-cleansing mentality,” he said.

On Monday, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak said in Paris that a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas could go into effect next week.

Also on Thursday, a Fatah delegation was in Cairo to discuss the proposed truce and Palestinian reconciliation within the framework of the Egyptian cease-fire initiative, Palestinian Authority chief negotiator Saeb Erekat said.

The Fatah delegation was expected to be in Cairo for two or three days, he said.

Hamas and Fatah officials held “a rare face-to-face meeting” in Cairo on Wednesday evening to pave the way for a Palestinian reconciliation summit to be held in Cairo on February 22, the Palestinian Ma’an news agency reported.

Meanwhile, government officials said in Jerusalem on Thursday that efforts to free kidnapped soldier Gilad Schalit and reach a long-term cease-fire with Hamas were continuing, even as the Olmert government entered its last days.

One senior official said there was no political vacuum, and that everyone understood that the current government was still in power and continuing to negotiate with the Egyptians.

The official would not say when Amos Gilad, the head of the Defense Ministry’s Diplomatic-Security Bureau, would return to Cairo to continue talks with the Egyptians and receive a briefing on the negotiations with Abu Marzouk.

Israeli officials continued to hold out hope that the Schalit issue could be resolved before Olmert ended his term, something Pensioners Minister Rafi Eitan said on Sunday was a distinct possibility.

“Following Operation Cast Lead, the strategic and political situation is now more conducive to getting a deal done, and Israel’s assessment is that there is a greater chance now of a deal coming through than in the past,” one official said, without elaborating.

The conventional wisdom in Jerusalem is that not only would Olmert like to leave office having successfully concluded a deal for Schalit, but that likely new prime minister Netanyahu would benefit from entering office with this issue behind him. Government officials said that any deal on Schalit reached before a new coalition was formed would have to be approved by the outgoing cabinet, and would also surely be done in consultation with the next prime minister.

Meanwhile, Schalit’s father, Noam, met on Thursday with Quartet envoy Tony Blair, and was reported to have said afterward that the Quartet was an important player in the region, that the transition period between governments presented a “window of opportunity,” and that it was not clear what would develop after the government changed hands.

Also on Thursday, Israel approved the first exports from the Gaza Strip in more than a year, clearing the transfer of 25,000 flowers for delivery to Europe ahead of Valentine’s Day, which falls on Friday.

At the request of the Dutch government, the carnations will enter Israel, where they will be flown to Europe, said Maj. Peter Lerner, spokesman for the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories.

He said it did not mark a change in policy.

“It’s done on a case-by-case basis and the Dutch government asked us,” he said by phone. “I’m sure the Palestinians will ask for more.”

Overnight Wednesday, the IAF bombed a Hamas outpost in Khan Yunis,

in response to continued rocket and mortar fire on southern Israel.

The air force confirmed a hit on a terrorist target, the IDF Spokesman’s Office said.

According to Palestinian sources, IAF helicopters fired two missiles at a Hamas military command center in the southern Gaza town. The sources said the command facility was damaged, but there were no casualties.

The attack came after Gazans fired three mortar shells at the Eshkol region on Wednesday afternoon. The rockets hit open areas, causing no damage or casualties.

More than 40 rockets, mortar shells and Grad missiles have been fired at the South since the end of Operation Cast Lead.

We now fight a War against FANATICISM beyond Belief

It is a Belief Requiring A DEMONIC Spiritual HELP FROM Hell

The Madness from the Euphrates Demonic KINGDOM OF Satan

Has now grasped the minds of his followers along the Euphrates

And there is no way the madness will end except by Second Advent

Like it or not, the world is headed into a time of vast chaotic Upheaval

This will be the UPHEAVAL which is graphically described in the Scriptures

Politically, Militarily, Financially, Spiritually, Geologically, and Meteorologically!

February 12, 2009

http://www,tribulationperiod.com/

The United States is not just fighting a war with flesh and blood humans. It is now engaged in deadly combat with a spiritual kingdom of Satan that has been rooted in the long path of

the Middle East Euphrates River ever since Satan tempted Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. It has been rooted there since Adam and Eve, and will only be uprooted at the Second Advent of Jesus Christ, the last Adam. It has possessed the souls of those nations on the Euphrates with evil spirits

of demonic madness, in a preparation for the final war of the Age of the Gentiles, and it will control their minds until Armageddon. There is no way back or out – It is coming.

If there ever was a time when the brethren needed to be strong in the Lord, and the poser of his might, putting on the armor of God, it is now in these last days.

Ephesians 6:10-13 – Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

[11] Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles

of the devil. [12] For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. [13] Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

The seat of Satan and his demonic hoards, led by his fallen angel spiritual kings and princes, was in the Euphrates valley along either side of it from its origin in Turkey to its delta in the Persian Gulf, when Daniel wrote his prophecies. It is still there, and Satan’s man of sin will soon arise in a country along it. It is the kingdom of the Beast of the East.

Daniel 10:4-14 – And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel; [5] Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz: [6] His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude. [7] And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves.

[8] Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength. [9] Yet heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground. [10] And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands. [11] And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling. [12] Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.

[13] But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia. [14] Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days.

Satan’s seat with its Kings is still in the same place, and it has taken over the minds of the Persian rulers today, as well as the rulers of the other Islamic countries along the long Euphrates. God will dry up its physical waters during the last 1260 days of the Tribulation Period and its evil satanic spiritual waters at the Second Advent of Messiah.

Revelation 16:10-16 – And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, [11] And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds. [12] And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. [13] And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. [14] For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings

of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

[15] Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. [16] And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

Excerpt 1 from UK Times

Iran: A Normal Nation or a Vehicle for Universal Messianic Revolution?

Amir Taheri

Every U.S. president has tried to placate the mullahs, with no success. The reason is that since 1979, Iran has been torn between its reality as a nation state and its dream as the vehicle for a universal messianic revolution. As a nation state, Iran has no objective reason to be an enemy of the U.S., a fact reflected in the abiding popularity that America enjoys among Iranians. As a revolutionary force, however, Iran must regard the U.S. as its No. 1 enemy because the U.S. is the only power capable of resisting the global ambitions of the Khomeinists.

Official Iran is not any kinder to Islam than to the West. For the first time in almost 14 centuries, Islam is being scripted out, its place taken by an ersatz faith based on the cult of the “supreme guide,” the return of the “hidden imam,” and dreams of world conquest. As the embodiment of the Khomeinist revolution, the country is a threat to regional stability and world peace.

Obsessed by the concept of “exporting the revolution,” the Khomeinist ruling elite devotes vast resources to undermining the established order in neighboring countries.

The change of behavior that President Obama has called for could only come when Iran reasserts itself as a normal nation state bound by international law and custom. (Times-UK)

Excerpt 2 from Atlantic Monthly

Beyond Belief

James Bennet

Once, as the second intifada was nearing its height, I met with a Hamas man in Gaza City to talk about suicidal killing. He had written his master’s thesis on martyrdom. Unlike other Hamas leaders, he had actually sent one of his own children to his death, in an attack on

an Israeli settlement.

To him, suicide bombings were valuable, not just because they could kill Israelis but because they confounded the unbelieving world, signaling “that we no longer love this life.”

Matter-of-factly, he told me that the Palestinians might have to sacrifice half the rising generation to drive the Israelis out and rule all Palestine again. He wound up sacrificing most of his own family. Israel killed the Hamas man, Nizar Rayyan, in January by dropping a bomb on his house. (Atlantic Monthly)

ROD OF GOD COMES TO BEING PEACE – Part 5

Rejected Son Returns as Judgment Rod to Bring Peace to Us!

February 12, 2009

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

Psalm 2:7-9 – I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

[8] Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. [9] Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.

It all began with a man child in a manger in Bethlehem who was rejected as King, crucified, rose from the dead, and ascended to heaven to wait for his Second Advent.

Revelation 12:5 – And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.

It will end when the Son returns with the remnant of his brethren following the travail of the tribulation period. The Son will rule and reign on this earth for a thousand years.

Micah 5:2,3 – But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. [3] Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she which travaileth hath brought forth: then the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel.

The Son will come leading a great spiritual army of his brethren and the angels at his Second Advent.

Jude 1:14,15 – And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, [15] To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

II Thessalonians 1:7-10 – And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, [8] In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: [9] Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; [10] When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

Those who believed the testimony of his messengers will be with him in that day in glorified bodies. The degree of glory they will manifest

will be proportional to the degree they submitted their wills to God after he saved them by his grace. We will reap what we sow after we are saved in the glorified body we receive.

II Corinthians 5:10-12 – For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things DONE IN HIS BODY, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

Galatians 6:7 – Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

I Corinthians 15:35-42 – But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come

? [36] Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: [37] And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain: [38] BUT GOD GIVETH IT A BODY AS IT HATH PLEASED HIM, and to every seed his own body.

[39] All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. [40] There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the

glory of the terrestrial is another. [41] There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.

[42] SO ALSO IS the resurrection of the dead.

It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:

Daniel 12:3 – And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and

ever.

Heaven will open at the end of God’s wrath and the Son will come with all his saints.

Luke 21:25-27 – And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; [26] Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. [27] And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

When he comes he will destroy the antichrist, the false prophet, and their armies. Then the Devil will be cast into the interior of the earth for a thousand years.

Revelation 19:11 to 20:2 – And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. [12] His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. [13] And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and h is name

is called The Word of God.

[14] And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

[15] And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a ROD OF IRON: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. [16] And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. [17] And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; [18] That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. [19] And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. [20] And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

[21] And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh. [1] And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. [2] And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

Revelation 20:6 – Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and

of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

Revelation 22:12 – And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

As election results go passing By,

Worldwide Turbulence on the Rise,

Soldiers’ Vote May Swing the Elections to a Tie

Shevat 17, 5769, 11 February 09 04:18

By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu

(IsraelNN.com) Voters gave Kadima 28 mandates in the next Knesset, one more than Likud, with almost all of Tuesday’s ballots counted but not including votes of diplomats and soldiers, whose votes will be counted on Wednesday and Thursday.

Their ballots are equal to five mandates.

Following is the current number of estimated MKs for each party following the counting of 99% of the available votes:

Kadima 28

Likud 27

Yisrael Beiteinu (Israel Our Home) 14

Labor 13

Shas 11

United Torah Judaism (UTJ) 5

Ichud Leumi (National Union) 4

Jewish Home 3

Meretz 3

Arab parties 12

The votes of the armed forces usually tilt to the nationalist and religious parties, and are likely to create at least a tie and may even put Likud in the lead.

The votes of diplomats overseas and soldiers changed the results in the last election by taking one Knesset seat away from Kadima. The number of Arab MKs also will likely be reduced after the soldiers’ ballots are counted.

Kadima, headed by Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, pulled ahead of the Likud by one MK, in a surprise finish.

The biggest losers are the Meretz and Labor parties, while Arab parties are currently projected to place

three more legislators in the Knesset than they currently have.

The Likud has the potential backing of 64 MKs, and the chances of Livni’s forming a national unity government appeared nil after Yisrael Beiteinu chairman Avigdor Lieberman spelled out his conditions that it would not join a

government that does not want to bring down the Hamas government in Gaza. The party also strongly favors pledging Israeli citizens to a loyalty oath, a move that Kadima rejects.

Livni has declared victory by virtue of apparently winning the most mandates, but Likud leader Binyamin Netanyahu and Yisrael Beiteinu chairman Avigdor Lieberman each said that the votes for the nationalist and religious parties clearly give them the right to control the next government.

Begin Excerpt from Jerusalem Post

Analysis: Election arithmetic puts Bibi in the driving seat

February 11, 2009

David Horovitz , THE JERUSALEM POST

For all the confusion prompted by the near parity of Kadima and the Likud in Tuesday’s election, and even before final adjustments necessitated by Thursday’s release of soldiers’ votes and the complex surplus-vote distribution, one of the most critical pieces of arithmetic is straightforward.

And it shows that notwithstanding Kadima’s victory claims, and its leader Tzipi Livni’s insistence that the people of Israel have given her their backing, Likud leader Binyamin Netanyahu can reasonably hope to build a narrow coalition majority with “natural” allies, and she cannot.

This puts Netanyahu firmly in the driving seat on the road to becoming prime minister.

And it places Livni – even though she led her party to far greater success than some of its own optimists had anticipated, and thus cemented her leadership hold – in the back seat. He can probably block her; she probably can’t block him.

That is not to say that Netanyahu has a smooth ride ahead. It may yet be eased a little when those last votes are calculated.

Precedent suggests that the soldiers’ votes are unlikely to boost the center-left; they might well lift the right, and perhaps Avigdor Lieberman’s Israel Beiteinu, with its emphasis on a shared burden of national service. And Kadima foolishly signed a surplus-vote agreement with the Green Party, which failed to clear the Knesset threshold, so it has nothing to gain there.

But Netanyahu was speaking from the heart during the election campaign when he said he wanted to head a wide government, with a range of Zionist parties from across the political spectrum. He doesn’t want to have to rely on a narrow coalition, vulnerable to internal pressures and perceived both domestically and abroad as intransigent as regards progress with the Palestinians.

Even forging that narrow coalition will be fraught with complications. As the first meetings of potential coalition allies began on Wednesday, the difficulties of finessing the conflicting demands were manifest.
Chiefly, a narrow Likud-led coalition requires the fierce secularist Lieberman and the Torah-driven Shas to put aside fundamental differences that go to the root of Jewish nationhood.

At the same time, Livni is showing absolutely no sign of being receptive to the notion of a unity partnership with Netanyahu in which Kadima is the junior player; after all, she is claiming to have won the elections.

And Ehud Barak – outflanked by the Kadima election strategists who persuaded much of Labor’s voting base to switch to Livni in order to thwart Netanyahu – has already announced that Labor is headed for the opposition.

Despite having lifted the Likud from a dismal 12-seat showing in the 2006 elections, therefore, Netanyahu has good cause to lament the votes lost, especially to Lieberman, in the final stages of this campaign.

The advantage is still with him, but building the framework for a viable coalition will be immensely complicated.

Hence, for a start, the selection of the wise, experienced former justice minister Ya’akov Ne’eman to coordinate his coalition negotiations. Ne’eman, it will be recalled, has particular expertise in seeking common ground amid conflicting approaches to the interface between religion and state – precisely the fraught territory where Shas and Israel Beiteinu will have to be reconciled if Netanyahu is to construct his “blocking” coalition.

Begin Excerpt from DEBKAfile Special Report

Kadima’s lead over Likud shrinks to one place, spelling unstable government

DEBKAfile Special Report

February 11, 2009, 1:08 PM (GMT+02:00)

Nearly 100 percent of counted votes from Israel’s general election Tuesday, Feb. 10, awards Tzipi Livni’s Kadima 28 Knesset seats (out of 120) – only one place ahead of the 27 polled by Binyamin Netanyahu’s Likud. He heads a right-of-center bloc of 64 seats to the 56 polled by the center and left. This means Livni cannot form a government without Likud and defense minister Ehud Barak’s Labor (13), unless her scant win is solidified by the still uncounted military votes.

Avigdor Lieberman’s right-wing Israel Beitenu came in third with 15, pushing Labor, the state’s founding party, down to fourth place. The ultra-religious Shas polled 11 seats, Torah Judaism 5 and New Left Meretz crashed to 3 on a par with Bayit Yehudi, National Union.

The military vote is expected to boost the right-wing Israel Beitenu and Likud. While the former has made a spectacular showing, neither Kadima nor Likud has garnered enough of the vote to promise Israel stable government for a full four-year term with parliamentary support for new policies.

The Arab Israeli parties Raam-Taal polled 5 seats, Hadash (communists) 4 and Balad three.

Livni has invited Likud to join a broad national unity government, while Netanyahu is bidding for a narrow, right-wing government and trying to co-opt Labor and Kadima later.

Lieberman, who holds the balance, says his party will decide which way to go in the coming days.

He favors a right-wing national government but rules out a partnership with Shas whose leader vilified his party.

If Livni, 50, does manage to horse-trade her way to forming a coalition government, she will be Israel’s second woman prime minister after Golda Meir.

Foreign minister in the outgoing administration, a lawyer, former justice minister and Mossad staffer, Livni is untested in the two dominant popular concerns, security and the failing economy. An advocate of peace talks, she is generally considered a naïve negotiator and over-influenced by foreign colleagues and international opinion. Her campaign was a highly personal one, which kept her unimpressive list of candidates well in the wings.

Lieberman’s Israel Beitenu cut deep into Netanyahu’s right-of-center Likud and the religious parties, in the same way as Livni’s relatively new Kadima sliced chunks off the traditional constituencies of defense minister Ehud Barak’s Labor and the left-wing Meretz.

Netanyahu, 59, lost his early margin as frontrunner by miscalculating the strength of his rivals. Unlike Livni, he refrained from throwing himself into the rough and tumble with the grass-roots voter and relied on the Internet to carry his message. The deal he cut early on with the unpopular Barak boomeranged against Likud.

Netanyahu and Barak are both former prime ministers.

Netanyahu known as Bibi, campaigned on a clear ticket: No nuclear arms for Iran, no repartition of Jerusalem, no concession

of the Golan and an end to Hamas rule of Gaza.

His term as prime minister from 1996 to 1999 ended with his defeat by Labor Party leader Ehud Barak, a former chief of staff and foreign minister.

As finance minister from 2001-2005 under Ariel Sharon, Netanyahu is credited with turning around the economy, blighted by the Palestinian uprising, and fostering years of dramatic growth.

Lieberman, 50, who was born in Moldova, founded his party with the support of former Russian immigrants but also won strong backing in this campaign from young soldiers across the board with his strong security message and slogan: “Lieberman understands Arabic!” One condition for his joining a government is a commitment to end Hamas rule of the Gaza Strip once and for all and zero tolerance for terrorists.

Israel – Prepare FOR Another Holocaust,

2/3 of Israel’s Jew Population Is Its Cost,

1/3 Saved in Negev When ALL Seems Lost,

Spanish Inquisition DICE Now Being Recast,

Nazi holocaust was not the top of hate Mast,

Gentile Hatred Rising Again in A Furnace Blast,

1260 Days in Negev And 2nd Advent is Passed,

To BRING in His KINGDOM Gentiles Cannot Trash,

Given Freely by GRACE SO Jew or Gentile May Ask!

Under Jesus Wings Israel’s Fathers Failed The Task,

The protective wings of Jesus they rejected for Cash,

But on Eagle wings he flies their sons from Islam Rash,

Son’s hearts in Negev Will Turn to the Fathers in a Mass,

Before God Destroys Sons by Malachi Curse in Fiery Blast!

WINGS [Matthew 23:37-Revelation12:14-Malachi 4:2] LAST!

FATHERS DID NOT COME FOR SECURITY UNDER MESSIAH’S WING’S

Matthew 23:37-39 – O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! [38] Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. [39] For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

THE FATHER’S ACTIONS CAUSED THE GREAT JEWISH DISPERSAL

Luke 21:23.24 – But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. [24] And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

THE FATHER’S DEAD BONES CAME ALIVE IN THEIR SONS IN 1948

Ezekiel 37:1-3,9,10 – The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones, [2] And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry. [3] And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest. [9] Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord God; Come from the four winds, O breath, and brea

the upon these slain, that they may live. [10] So I prop hesied as

he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.

THE FATHER’S SONS BOTH FLEE AND FLY INTO NEGEV WILDERNESS – LIKELY AT SOME POINT IN TIME BETWEEN 2010 AND 2015.

Revelation 12:6,14 – And the wom an fled into the wilderness, where she h

ath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. [14] And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

2/3 DIE IN ISLAMIC ATTACK AND 1/3 SURVIVES THE INITIAL ATTACK BY FLEEING TO THE NEGEV, WHERE THEY REMAIN FOR 1260 DAYS.

Zechariah 13:8,9 – And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. [9] And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.

DURING THE 1260 DAYS A REMNANT OF 144, 000 SAVED JEWS WILL BE AMIDST A LARGER REMNANT OF A LITTLE LESS THAN 2 MILLION JEWS WHO DO NOT BELIEVE JESUS IS THE MESSIAH.

THE 144,OOO, LED BY TWO JEWISH WITNESSES CHOSEN BY GOD FROM AMONG THEM, WILL TESTIFY TO THE UNBELIEVERS AND, AT THE COMING OF JESUS, IN A SINGLE DAY AT HIS SECOND ADVENT, A NATION WILL BE BORN IN THE NEGEV TO RULE THE PHYSICAL WORLD, AS THE PEOPLE OF MESSIAH.

Revelation 7:4 – And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

ISRAEL IS THE WOMAN (THE UNBELIEVING 2 MILLION). THE SEED OF THE WOMAN IS JESUS IN 12:5. THE 144,000 MANIFEST HIS BELIEVING REMNANT. IT IS A 144,000 BELIEVING REMNANT, WITHIN A REMNANT OF ALMOST 2 MILLION UNBELIEVING JEWS WHO WILL FINALLY PUT THEIR FAITH IN CHRIST AT HIS SECOND ADVENT, DUE TO TESTIMONY OF THE 144,000 AND THE 2 WITNESSESS.

Revelation 12:5 – And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.

Revelation 12:17 – And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Revelation 11:3 – And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

Luke 21:25-28 – And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; [26] Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. [27] And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. [28] And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

Malachi 4:1-6 – For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts,

that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. [2] But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. [3] And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts. [4] Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments. [5] Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: [6] And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

In the Negev Israel will finally realize the main reason God gave them the Law of Moses was to get individual Jews to realize Jesus, as the only begotten Son of God, was the only man who could keep God’s standard of righteousness. The Law is what leads men and women to salvation by repentance toward God and faith in his Son, Jesus Christ, the Messiah. Jesus gives his righteousness to all who will put their faith in him as righteousness imputed to them by God’s grace. God asks Israel in the Negev to remember the Law of Moses to remind them of their inability to keep it perfectly, thereby leading them to repentance for being able to do so,

Psalm 51:15-17 – O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise. [16] For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.

[17] The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

Romans 2:28,29 – For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: [29] But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

Galatians 3:24-26 –Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. [25] But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. [26] For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

Acts 20:20,21 – And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house, [21] Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

In the midst of the chaos of the last 1260 days of the Age of the Gentiles, Israel, in the Negev Wilderness, will repent toward God and put their faith in his Son Jesus Christ for individual salvation and national deliverance.

Therefore God will not put a curse on the earth to destroy it for a thousand years.

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, will rule and reign from Israel for a thousand years.

Acts 2:19-21 – And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: [20] The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: [21] And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Acts 4:12 – Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Zechariah 14:8,9 – And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be. [9] And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.

Although the Spanish Inquisition was directed primarily against Protestants they considered heretics, nevertheless, in some parts of Spain towards the end of the 14th century, there was a wave of anti-Judaism, encouraged by the preaching of Ferrant Martinez, Archdeacon of Ecija. The pogroms of June 1391 were especially bloody: in Seville, hundreds of Jews were killed, and the synagogue was completely destroyed.

Begin Excerpt from Jerusalem Post

1/3 of Europeans: Jews caused meltdown

February 10, 2009

Associated Press , THE JERUSALEM POST

The Anti-Defamation League said Tuesday that a survey it commissioned found nearly a third of Europeans polled blame Jews for the global economic meltdown and that a greater number think Jews have too much power in

the business world.

The organization, which says its aim is “to stop the defamation of Jewish people and secure justice and fair treatment to all,” says the seven-nation survey confirms that anti-Semitism remains strong.

The poll included interviews with 3,500 people – 500 each in Austria, Britain, France, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Spain.

It says that in Spain, 74 percent of those asked say they feel it is “probably true” that Jews hold too much sway over the global financial markets. That is the highest percentage in the survey.

Nearly two-thirds of Spanish respondents said Jews were more loyal to Israel than they were to their home countries.

“This poll confirms that anti-Semitism remains alive and well in the minds of many Europeans,” said Abraham H. Foxman, the ADL’s national director in America. “Clearly, age old anti-Semitic stereotypes die hard.”

Foxman said the study’s findings were “particularly worrisome” in light of the anger spawned by the global economic meltdown, and following a number of violent acts against Jews or Jewish property after Israel’s military action in the Gaza Strip.

Around Europe, several attacks have been reported against Jews and synagogues in France, Sweden and Britain since the Israeli offensive began in late December. Some Gaza protests in Europe have included the use of Nazi imagery, including signs and slogans comparing Israeli soldiers to German troops, the Gaza Strip to the Auschwitz death camp and the Jewish Star of David to the Nazi swastika.

Britain consistently registered the lowest levels of anti-Jewish sentiment, and numbers there have fallen from a similar survey conducted in 2007. Austria also registered a slight drop in the level of anti-Semitism, while in other countries anti-Semitic sentiment either remained the same or deepened, the survey indicated.

Poland’s chief rabbi, Michael Schudrich, who saw the survey before it was published, said he has not seen any rise in anti-Semitism in Poland since the global financial crisis has unfolded. He said an unacceptable level of anti-Jewish sentiment still exists in Poland, but that it is no worse than in other European countries.

The survey showed Polish responses registered a slight rise in all but one area. On the question whether it was “probably true” Jews have too much power in international financial markets, the level was unchanged from 2007.

The survey, conducted by First International Resources Dec. 1, 2008 through Jan. 13, 2009, included interviews with 3,500 people – 500 each in Austria, France, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Spain. The margin of error for each country was plus or minus 4 percent.

In total, about 40 percent of those questioned said Jews have too much power in the business world, including more than half of Hungarian, Spanish and Polish respondents.

And 44 percent said they believe it is “probably true” that Jews still talk too much about the Holocaust.
