The Palestinians had Their Chance, and Blew it!

We started our Web Site in 1999, but Y2K knocked out my computer and the data I had on my hard drive, so we
started over in 2000, only to have a virus cremate my hard drive on my second computer. I now have the best stuff available to ward off viruses, and we have backed up our archives from 2001. Prophecy Update 24A was issued in March of 2001, as a follow up to Prophecy Update Number 3 of January 2001. It was the first time I realized the likely settlement of the so-called peace negotiations between the Israelis and Palestinians would end in a forced
peace put on the Palestinians
, that is, if they would not negotiate and continued the intifada. The following was extracted from Prophecy Update 24A in our Archives.

“If the Palestinians and terrorist groups continue to perform acts of killing against his people, will Ariel Sharon eventually be forced to put a “forced peace” on the Palestinians? My answer is YES!
In Prophecy Update Number 3, when Ariel Sharon first took office, I stated: “Ariel Shar on may try to put a forced peace
on the Palestinians before the terrorist groups shut down. This was one of the options considered by his party in the past.” So what is a “forced peace?” Barriers would be built, which would completely surround the autonomous zones given to the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, and the IDF would deploy guards day and night outside those barriers in order to separate the two nations. It would be similar, but not exactly the same, as the Berlin wall Russia built to separate West and East Germany during the cold war.
All but the major roads leading into the Palestinian Autonomous Zones would be sealed off. At the major road openings in the wall the IDF would thoroughly scrutinize all who passed through, and all types of transportation would be examined from top to bottom. Many of these barriers are already in place, and some of the material to add onto them is already in place. It would amount to a nation within a nation, with the surrounding nation controlling the movements of the inner nation. If the inner nation was deemed responsible for terrorist activities in the outer nation, the outer nation could launch air strikes against the inner nation without fear of killing their own people.”

This is basically where we are today in March of 2006, five years later, and the finally security barrier will be similar to the one I presented in Prophecy Update 65D. The following two articles from the Jerusalem Post and Haaretz give interesting details of the “forced” peace as it is being carried out today.

US Briefed on Israel’s Borders Plan
Associated Press, THE JERUSALEM POST
March 12, 2006
Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert briefed the US last week on his plan to impose Israel’s final borders with the Palestinians if efforts to resume peace talks fail, an Olmert spokesman said Sunday.
Backing from Washington, Israel’ s clo
sest and most powerful ally, would be critical for any major initiative.
“They neither approved nor objected to it,” said spokesman Asaf Shariv, adding that an Olmert aide presented the plan to a US official before Olmert disclosed it in published interviews last week.
US Embassy spokesman Stewart Tuttle was unable to confirm the report.
In the interviews, Olmert said he planned to withdraw from much of the West Bank and parts
of Jerusalem by 2010. The plan, which also calls for beefing up major settlement blocs Israel would retain, falls well short of Palestinian claims to all of the West Bank.
He said he expected to win US and broader international support for the effort, which he expects to launch after Israel’s March 28 elections. Polls show Olmert’s Kadima Party easily winning the vote.
Washington, the main architect of the “road map” peace plan, supports a negotiated settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and not another unilateral move like last summer’s withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and four small West Bank settlements.
President Bush has backed Israel’s claims to keep some settlement blocs, but US officials have reacted coolly to Israeli claims on the Ariel settlement bloc, deep inside the West Bank, and the Jordan River Valley.
End Article One from Jerusalem Post
The Palestinians could have gotten back much more of the West Bank and Jordan Valley if they had come to the negotiation table and stopped an Intifada they began in 2000, but they would not stop the Intifada and would not negotiate anything – They wanted all the West Bank. Now it is too late, and the borders are going to be forced on
the Palestinians. The second article with follows from Haaretz indicates Israel is going to gobble up the Jordan Valley from the eastern foothills of the West Bank Mountains to the Jordan River.

Some 2,000 Palestinians Banned from Entering Jordan Valley
By Akiva Eldar , Haaretz
March 14, 2006
Israel is preventing some 2,000 Palestinians who have left the Jordan Valley from returning to the area, in an effort to keep them from demanding their land back.
Thousands of dunams of land have been illegally transferred to settlements and army bases in the area.
The Civil Administration has confirmed the existence of a list that had been known as the “List of 100,” which now bears the names of the 2,000 banned Palestinians. All the requests of the people on the list to return to the territories under the principle of family unification, or even for short visits, have been rejected for about 30 years, when the ban was first instituted. The Civil Administration cites security concerns as the reason for its rejections.
