Fractured Fairy Fantasies for Future Failures!

The overall overrid ing fantasy
in the Middle E ast is th
at somehow the tooth fairy will appear to being a true lasting peace to the Middle East. I assure you that will not happen until Messiah comes to establish such a peace at His Second Advent.
I can assure you that some sort of an arrangement will be put into place such that Israel will come to believe she finally has a situation where she can actually say – We now have a time of “Peace and safety.” It seems to me, knowing the fanaticism of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Al Aksa Martyrs Brigades, and some other demonic splinter groups, that it will be in the form of a ‘hudna” (truce) with those who pose immediate terror within and immediately on her borders, saying they will never rest until Israel is driven into the Sea.
Precisely HOW a false peace will finally come on the scene may shock all of us, but it will be a false peace initiated by the Islamic children of darkness and it will, for a brief period of time, lead Israel to believe they do at least, for a little while, have some degree of “Peace and safety.”
Romans 11:32 – For God hath concluded them all (Israel) in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
I Thessalonians 5:3-5 – For when they (Israel) shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them (Israel), as travail upon a woman with child; and they (Israel) 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.
Ezekiel 38:8,9 – After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they (Israel) sh all dwell safely
all of them. [9] Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the l
and, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.
I do not doubt the sincerity of the many attempts by many different men, women, and nations to bring a legitimate true lasting peace to the turbulent and war-torn Middle East, but such a peace is an absolute fantasy until Messiah comes to bring it by his power. Only a brief false peace can be engineered by mankind.
Luke 21:27 – And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
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.
Fantasy 1
The Uncivil War in Gaza
Edward S.
Walker Jr.
Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak on May 17, when asked about the possibility of Hamas signing a peace agreement with Israel, answered: “With Hamas? No way….Hamas will never sign a peace agreement with Israel if it stays in power.” And therein lies the secret.
It is time for Hamas to go. Egypt, Israel, Jordan or the United States would be justified to take steps to bring an end to its illegitimate posture as the government of the Palestinian territories.
Hamas came to power through a so-called democratic election, and too many assumed that this established legitimacy. But the reality is that you cannot have a democratic election in a state that is not a democracy. You cannot have a democratic election when the state does not control the levers of power.
And you cannot have a democratic election when the electorate is under the control of competing armed militias.
Now is the time to work with the Palestinians, the Egyptians and Jordanians on an exit strategy for Hamas.
The writer is adjunct scholar at the Middle East Institute and its former president. He also served as U.S. ambassador to Israel and Egypt and as assistant secretary of state for Near East Affairs. (Sacramento Bee)
Fantasy 2
Rice’s “Political Horizon”
Dennis Ross
From the beginning of Secretary Rice’s decision to pursue a “political horizon” between Israelis and Palestinians, I have argued that no political process will be credible or sustainable if it is divorced from the day-to-day realities of Palestinian and Israeli life. Rice’s recent efforts might have made sense if she could produce a willingness on the part of Arab leaders to embrace the core tradeoffs involved in a political end game for settling the conflict.

Fantasy 3
Condi’s Dangerous Fantasy
Editorial
Secretary of State Rice’s peacemaking initiatives have once too many times now bordered on the absurdly naive, premised as they are on the supposition that Hamas might at some point decide to conduct itself in reasonably civilized fashion. This is a dreadful joke. Hamas will decide no such thing.
Hamas will bomb and shoot
and kidnap
and slaughter.
That is what Hamas does. Fundamentally, the secretary is pressing for a peace agreement when no one on the Palestinian side has both the interest and the capability of entering one. Rice should give it up. (New York Daily News)
