“The best security that Israel has had in a number of years” is in Place
Now And the “Iron Dome missile defense system and Security Barriers
Have Shielded Israel From Many Of the Attacks And Suicide Bombers”
It has Caused Israel reason to Say “Peace & safety” in False Confidence
That Islam cannot defeat her after Numerous attempts to accomplish It!

I Thessalonians 5:3-11 – For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. [4] But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. [5] Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. [6] Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. [7] For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. [8] But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. [9] For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, [10] Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. [11] Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

Intelligence Experts: Mideast Status Quo Sustainable, But Not Preferable
Forrest K. Lewis
(Harvard Crimson)
Former director of the CIA David H. Petraeus and Meir Dagan, former director of Israel’s intelligence service, the Mossad, analyzed the prospects for future peace in the Middle East at the John F. Kennedy Jr. Forum at Harvard University on Monday.
Dagan asserted that the Palestinians are unwilling to make any immediate compromises, a result of what he calls the “legacy of [Yasser] Arafat.”
For a lasting settlement, he said, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Jordan, and other surrounding countries would have to come to an agreement about the rights to holy places.
According to Petraeus, the once widely held Israeli view that the current situation is not sustainable has become less prevalent due to Israel’s strengthening security forces.
Petraeus said that Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system and security barriers have shielded Israel from many of the attacks and suicide bombers that were a daily occurrence a decade ago.
“I’m not so sure the status-quo from Israel’s perspective is not sustainable. You have now the best security that Israel has had in a number of years, if not longer,” Petraeus said.
Dagan and Petraeus agreed that although increased security measures could allow the status-quo to be sustainable, it is not preferable.
“There is a real desire from both sides to reach eventually a peace agreement,” Dagan said.
