Diplomacy dialog is being directed toward the best way to Surrender
Israel into the merciless hand of the Islamic Jihad Middle East Radicals!
The Obama administration is becoming like Europeans in returning Land
Germany lost in WW-I to the Allies in order to prevent a great World War!
But Neville Chamberlain found giving back the land eventually led to WW-II!
A compromising spirit of Diplomatic Dialog will lead to the last war of this Age!

There will be no peace on this earth until Messiah comes. He came at his first Advent knowing the peace of his Kingdom would be rejected by mankind, leaving only war and turmoil in his wake. What little peace there is on this planet will be ended by the beginning of sudden destruction in Israel as the last war of the Age of the Gentiles Begins.
Matthew 10:32-34 – Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also
before my Father which is in heaven. [33] But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny
before my Father which is in heaven. [34] Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
I Thessalonians 5:3,4 – 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.
But the destruction will end at Messiah’s Second Advent, and peace will come to the earth by the iron rod of the Messiah.
The Sun of Righteousness will come to this earth to arise with healing in his wings, bringing redemption and great peace to the earth.
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.
Isaiah 66:15,16 – For, behold, the Lord will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. [16] For by fire and by his sword will the Lord plead with all flesh: and the slain of the Lord shall be many.
Malachi 4:1-3 – 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.
Psalm 2:4-12 – He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. [5] Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
[6] Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
[7] 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. [10] Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. [11] Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. [12] Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
Zechariah 14:9 – And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.
Isaiah 66:10-14 – Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her: [11] That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory. [12] For thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees. [13] As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
[14] And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the Lord shall be known toward his servants, and his indignation toward his enemies.
Caroline Glick, Charles Krauthammer, and Barry Rubin are, in my opinion, three of the best analysts and writers concerning events in the Middle East. They have a great love for Israel, the Apple of God’s Eye.
Begin Excerpt from the Jerusalem Post
The Region: Israel and America: Neither surrender nor confrontation
June 15, 2009
Barry Rubin , THE JERUSALEM POST
The US demands that Israel stop construction on settlements. If this doesn’t happen, it hints at dire retaliation. If it agrees to this step, President Barack Obama promises great things. First, he claims this will bring dramatic progress toward Israel-Palestinian peace.
That’s rubbish. We know that yielding would be followed by Palestinian Authority demands for more unilateral concessions. PA leaders openly say their strategy is to let the West force Israel to give them everything they want without any change by them. We know the current PA leadership is both disinterested and incapable of making real peace.
In addition, the US initiative is absurdly one-sided, without hint of reciprocity by the other side. Equally, the administration’s brutal rhetoric denies previous US commitments have been made on this issue. This approach seems almost designed to convince Israelis that further unilateral concessions will continue to be unrewarded and Western commitments continue to be forgotten.
Second, we are promised that if Israel gives in, Arab states will change their policies, becoming more conciliatory and more helpful on pressing Iran.
This, too, is rubbish. Arab regimes have their own interests. They need the conflict; they view its solution to be an American problem.
They’ve already make it clear that the US will get nothing from them for pressuring Israel into concessions except demands to press for more concessions.
Third, we’re promised that if construction on settlements is stopped, the West can act more effectively on Iran. But its already chosen a policy of engagement and concessions. There’s no will or ability to increase sanctions, not to mention continuing opposition by Russia and China. So this, equally, is rubbish. Iran will make no deal, stall for time and correctly assess Western willpower as low.
Of course, Iran wants to be regional hegemon.
It sees having nuclear weapons as a plus whose political and economic costs are low.
Most disgusting of all are honeyed claims by American and European officials – be they cynical or foolish – that such concessions are good for Israel, as it will help it make peace and greater security.
In truth, they want it to make concessions for their own selfish interests. They believe it will make the radical Islamist threat go away at its expense.
WHAT THEN is the reality? If construction on settlements ceases, Israel will get nothing. Arab states, the PA and West won’t change policies. Iran will go merrily on toward nuclear weapons.
Nevertheless, there’s still a strong case for making a gesture for several reasons:
• To avoid alienating the US government.
Failing to resolve this issue means that the administration will blame its inevitable failures and certain lack of progress in the region on Israel for the next three, perhaps next seven, years.
• By saying “no,” Israel would play into the scapegoating game, letting everyone pretend that all would be fine if it only altered its behavior. American and European policymakers will claim the only reason they can’t get peace, Arab cooperation, or an end to Iran’s nuclear drive is because of Israel’s behavior.
• The issue is construction, not dismantling settlements or withdrawing from more land. While one might respond that will be the next demand, a partial “yes” now does not inhibit saying “no” on a bigger issue.
• The first response, offering removal of outposts or roadblocks and asking for adherence to past promises, has failed. Up to a point, stalling is a good tactic. No matter how determined the US government is on this issue at present, months can go by in maneuverings. Crises and distractions will arise; the US administration might learn to understand reality better.
TO ME the decisive factors are these: A single gesture must be made toward the new US administration as a “gift” to Obama to consolidate his personal commitment to Israel. The fact that this step is temporary, reversible and doesn’t endanger lives makes it preferable to alternative actions.
There is also a way to do it on Israel’s terms: a temporary freeze on construction, not including Jerusalem and in a clear framework of what is expected in return, with the results to be judged solely by Israel. What are these conditions? Two could be continuing Western efforts to isolate Hamas, the end to official PA incitement to kill Israelis and wipe Israel off the map.
Other conditions could be private, like evidence of a stronger Western effort against Iran’s nuclear weapons’ drive.
If these things don’t happen, Israel warns in advance that it would say: “We told you so. This experiment has failed” and return to construction. Such a move would provoke criticism that it could far more easily resist at costs lower than at present. It should be stressed that unlike withdrawing from territory or dismantling settlements, a construction freeze would be a reversible step.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu knows how far he can go without unraveling his coalition. By conditioning it as suggested here, he could more likely sell a limited concession to his cabinet.
But what he should certainly avoid is alternative concessions to “protect” settlement construction more dangerous to lives and interests without solving the problem with the US. These could include going too far in loosening restrictions on the flow of goods into the Gaza Strip or dismantling needed roadblocks.
Israel should respond flexibly on the construction issue but only in a way shaped by its own interests and far better appreciation of the situation in the Middle East.
