Another Obvious Attempt to Get the International Community to Restart Funding to a Terrorist Government!

I am amazed at how naïve most of the international community is when it comes to examining the motives of the terrorist group Hamas.
Each time some seemingly tiny crack of hope appears that Hamas might be converted to a bunch of good ole boys, the international community will rush to the crack and try to use it as an excuse to start sending the usual welfare millions to an unchangeable terrorist mob, that now represents the Palestinian government.
Some groups are now saying that the latest attempt to restart talks with the Israelis is a bold step by Abbas which, if accepted by the Hamas, will bring peace to Israel. Why wouldn’t Hamas accept it? The document does not require them to recognize Israel as a state, nor does it require them to renounce terrorism.
But it does require the non-state, terrorist plagued, non-recognized Israel to give back 100 percent of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and let all of the occupants and their descendents from the 1967 War to return. What a charming arrangement! Let all of our Israel hating brethren return to strengthen us so we can wipe out the state we refuse to recognize as a state. If you were an Israelite, do you think you would accept such a death sentence arrangement?
All of this is just an effort by a man who has no power over Hamas to stay in their good graces, keep the powerless position he now holds, and milk millions out of the international community to support the welfare of a terrorist Palestinian government. Much of the western world has a tendency to want to believe in fairy tales where they all “live happily ever after.” This type of ending will only come to pass after tribulation beyond man’s wildest imagination, followed by the Second Advent of Jesus Christ. He will come shortly after the Antichrist plants the tents of his vast Armageddon army around his command post on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, which lies between the Mediterranean Sea and the Dead Sea.
No one will be able to help the Antichrist because he will be sapped by God through his Archangel Michael.
And God will bring a remnant of Jewish believers through the tribulation period into the millennial reign, whose names are written in a book of remembrance. They will be part of a world where the Lord reigns over all the earth from Jerusalem.
Daniel 11:45 to 12:1 – And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall
help him. [1] And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in THE BOOK.
Malachi 3:16 to 4:3 – Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and A BOOK of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name. [17] And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. [18] Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not. [1] 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.
Zechariah 13:8,9 – And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. [9] And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.
Luke 21:27 – And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
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.

Referendum to be Held in 40 Days if Deal not Reached
JPost Staff and Ap, THE JERUSALEM POST
May 25, 2006
In a dramatic announcement, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said Thursday he will call a national referendum on the parameters of a future Palestinian state if no agreement is reached with Hamas within 10 days.
If the deadline expires, Abbas said, he would call a referendum within 40 days on a proposal to accept Palestinian statehood in the West Bank, Gaza and east Jerusalem.

“If you don’t reach an agreement within 10 days, I’m going to present the document to a referendum in 40 days. Within 40 days I will ask the people,” Abbas told a large gathering at his headquarters in Ramallah.
A senior Hamas official said the group accepts the proposal from Abbas to hold a referendum on accepting a Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza and east Jerusalem if an agreement between
Palestinian factions is not reached within 10 days.
“Returning to the people is one of the most important principles in democracy,” said Abdel Aziz Duaik, the Hamas speaker of parliament.
Yasser Abed Rabbo, a close adviser to Abbas, said Hamas and the other Palestinian groups now had to make a choice, “either to accept the prisoners’ document as it is or to go to a referendum.”
“Both solutions are satisfactory and can get us out of the impasse,” he said. “All that the international community needs is there in this document and we think that they will accept it.”
Palestinian pollster Nader Said of Bir Zeit University in Ramallah said he expected the referendum to pass because most Palestinians support a two-state solution.
“I think it has a very good chance to pass, I think it will get high support,” he said, estimating it could pass by as much as two-thirds.
“I want to assure here, and make it clear for all parties, that the Palestinian government and the Palestinian people will not make any compromise that harms the Palestinian goals and rights,” he said.
Abbas has said that Hamas must moderate to regain international support for the Palestinian cause.
“The Arab countries are waiting for this realistic position, to work in harmony, to push the Palestinian cause ahead. They cannot do anything for the Palestinian cause if the (Palestinians) are rejecting everything,” he said.
Abbas said earlier that internal tensions were jeopardizing their people’s aspirations.
“This crisis, everyone is feeling the danger,” he said. “Our national plan is in jeopardy.”
The leaders of various Palestinian factions were meeting Thursday in Gaza and Ramallah to discuss agreement reportedly reached earlier between Hamas and Fatah, as well as the peace initiative proposed by imprisoned Palestinian leaders that approves the establishment of an independent Palestinian state within the 1967 borders.
Earlier Thursday, Palestinian sources reported that Hamas and Fatah have compromised on the main points of contention between the two organizations.
Hamas agreed to let Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas negotiate with Israel according to the principles of the PLO, although the Palestinians will vote in a referendum on any resulting agreement.
The newspaper Al-Hayat
al-Jedida said that Hamas and Fatah agreed that Abbas would take charge of the PA’s finances in order to allow the international community to transfer international aid to the Palestinians.
Also on Thursday, Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh said that the Palestinians would recognize Israel only after Israel withdraws from all Palestinian territory.
He further stated that until that happened, Palestinian resistance would not subside.
Referring to the United States, Haniyeh said that it was “giving a green light to the occup
ation.
“Resistance is the legal right of the Palestinian people and it will not cease until the end of the Israeli occupation,” Haniyeh told Al-Hayat.
Meanwhile, senior Fatah representative Muhammed Dahlan said that the movement would not be opposed to forming a unity government with Hamas.
“Fatah’s conditions of joining the coalition are the recognition of the Palestinian Liberation Organization by Hamas and its adoption of the Arab summit peace proposal,” Dahlan told Radio Monte Carlo.
