ACROSS THE WEST BANK
HAMAS CAN RIP FATAH APART!
THE FARCE OF A PALESTINIAN PEACE,
AN OPIUM PIPEDREAM OF EPIC PROPORTION,
LED THE WEST INTO A “PEACE OF LET’S PRETEND,”
WHICH ONLY THE MESSIAH HIMSELF COULD TRULY END!
Micah 3:5 – Thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that make my people err, that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and he that putteth not into their mouths, they even prepare war against him.
Micah 5:4,5 – And HE shall stand and feed in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God; and they shall abide: for now shall HE be great unto the ends of the earth.
[5] And THIS MAN shall be THE PEACE, when the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men.
(See Whole Numbered Archive Prophecy Update Numbers 71 through 75)
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.

Hamas can whip Fatah with one hand tied behind its back and shackles on its ankles.
Fatah could not maintain anything that even faintly resembled peace if they signed an agreement, and Israel actually turned all the West Bank and Gaza Strip over to them, and pulled out. And Hamas will not sign a peace agreement with Israel because Hamas wants all the land of Israel, not just the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
To believe in any possibility of a real peace in Israel rides only on the vapors of an opium den.

Israeli military: Palestinian Authority would fall to Hamas days afer West Bank pullout
TEL AVIV — Israel’s military projected Hamas would easily topple the Palestinian Authority soon after an Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank.
Officials said military intelligence has concluded that Hamas forces in the West Bank could conduct an operation similar to that of its takeover of the Gaza Strip in June 2007. They said most PA forces and Fatah would flee any battle with Hamas units in the West Bank.
“Without the massive Israeli military presence in the West Bank, Hamas would take over the institutions and apparatuses of the Palestinian Authority within days,” Maj. Gen. Gadi Shamni, chief of the military’s Central Command, said.
On Feb. 26, Shamni briefed President Shimon Peres during the latter’s visit to command headquarters in Jerusalem. The general said Hamas was increasing its influence throughout the West Bank, including within the PA.
“Its presence is felt in hospitals, kindergartens, schools, universities and mosques,” Shamni said.
The military has been quietly urging the government of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to suspend plans for a unilateral withdrawal from the West Bank. The United States has been pressing Olmert to honor his pledge in 2006 to withdraw unilaterally from some 97 percent of the West Bank as part of the Bush administration’s plans to establish a Palestinian state by early 2009.
Military intelligence has determined that Hamas organized sleeper cells and a secret militia in most cities in the West Bank. Officials said such a network — believed to include rogue PA officers
— would be operated within days of any Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank.
The intelligence assessment has been shared by the Israel Security Agency. ISA director Yuval Diskin said Hamas was planning to capture the West Bank.
“They are trying to create a new balance of terror to create calm, so they can consolidate their strength in Gaza and then move to the next level: taking over Judea and Samaria,” Diskin said on March 2.
The military assessment envisions immediate Hamas missile and rocket strikes after an Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank.
Military intelligence has determined that Hamas and its allies have established an infrastructure for missile production in several cities.
“For the first time in a decade, the Israeli military, intelligence services and police have managed to almost completely prevent terror attacks on the home front,” Shamni said.
Israel’s military has found missile production facilities and seized a Hamas-origin Kassam missile and launcher in Nablus. So far, Hamas has failed to launch effective missile and rocket strikes on Israel from the West Bank.
“Although there are no rocket attacks emanating from the West Bank, we’ve found rockets produced here, and this tells us that there are [rocket production] labs in the region,” Shamni said.
Meanwhile, Israel’s military has captured a huge amount of Hamas weaponry.
Military sources said Hamas combatants abandoned a large amount of weapons, munitions and equipment in their battles with Israeli troops in the northern Gaza Strip in early March. The sources said Hamas fighters kept the arsenal in the Jabalya refugee camp, north of Gaza City.
“They have everything that you would need to equip an army,” a senior officer said. “They are well on their way to becoming another Hizbullah.”
On Tuesday evening, Israel’s military reentered the southern Gaza Strip. About 25 armored combat vehicles, backed by attack helicopters, fought Hamas combatants near Khan Yunis and killed an Islamic Jihad commander, Yusuf Samiri, as well as two of his associates.]
In Jabalya, the sources said, Hamas left behind rocket-propelled grenades, launchers, assault rifles and body armor. They said most of the weapons and equipment had been manufactured in Iran.
Hamas was said to have acquired much of the weaponry in early 2008, when the 12-kilometer border wall with Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula was breached in at least seven places. The sources said Iran and Hizbullah had shipped the equipment weeks earlier to the northern Sinai coast.
The sources said Hamas has organized a 15,000-member military organized into four brigades.
They said Iran and Hizbullah sent trainers from several Middle East countries, including Syria and Lebanon, to enhance Hamas combat skills.
During the battles in Jabalya, Hamas ordered children on the rooftops of military production facilities to prevent Israeli air strikes.
Military sources said Hamas used the children as human shields to stop several Israeli strikes.
“We are working with our hands tied because of all these laws and because we are part of the free world and because this is part of our values,” Israeli Foreign Minister Tsipi Livni told foreign diplomats on Tuesday.

‘Hamas could take over W.
Bank in days’

“Without the massive IDF presence in the West Bank, Hamas would take over the institutions and apparatuses of the Palestinian Authority within days,” OC Central Command Maj.-Gen. Gadi Shamni told President Shimon Peres Tuesday as the two toured the Command’s main base in Jerusalem.
Shamni said Hamas was engaged in a constant effort to increase its influence in the region “and its presence is felt in hospitals, preschools, schools, universities and mosques.”
Peres was shown a Kassam rocket and launcher captured in Nablus. “Although there are no rocket attacks emanating from the West Bank, we’ve found rockets produced here, and this tells us that there are [rocket production] labs in the region,” Shamni said.
Shamni said the Palestinian Authority was exerting great efforts in keeping the public order but was not seriously working to stop terrorists operating in the West Bank. On the other hand, he said, “for the first time in a decade, the IDF, intelligence services and the police have managed to almost completely prevent terror attacks on the home front.”
