The last great war Equation:
I+S+2H = A Middle East War
Middle East War is Inevitable
Iran+Syria+Hamas+Hizbullah
+W (Unknown)=Last 3 ½ Yrs
Only “WHEN” Is The Unknown
In A FINAL Great War Equation.

Only God knows the unknown variable “WHEN,” but He has given us a lot of the parameters which would let us know it was at our doors. Those parameters are all in place, and we can know the beginning of the final war of the Age of the Gentiles is drawing near.
As I have stated in numerous previous Blogs, I consider Barry Rubin to be one of the best three analysts presenting articles in the Jerusalem Post.
Begin Excerpt from the Jerusalem Post
Another Israel-Hamas war is inevitable

The Region: Egyptian revolution, incompetent and mistaken US policy make conflict with Gaza certain.
I’m going to make a prediction here that, unfortunately, I’m sure is going to come true. Any good analyst should be able to see this, yet few will, until it happens within the next two years: The Egyptian revolution will make another Israel-Hamas war inevitable, with a lot more of an international mess.
And I’ll go a step further: An incompetent and mistaken US policy makes such a conflict even more certain.
[…….]
THE MUSLIM Brotherhood views Hamas as its closest ally and wants it to overthrow the Palestinian Authority as well as destroy Israel.
The nationalists support Hamas as part of the larger Arab struggle against Israel.
The “liberal democrats” do so because they know this is a very popular position with Egyptians, and therefore to oppose it would reduce their already tiny base of support.
And so Hamas knows it now has an ally rather than an enemy at its back.
Moreover, there is no incentive in Egypt – or among its nationalist and Islamist-sympathetic officers – to block arms smuggling into the Gaza Strip.
Hamas is thus greatly strengthened and made more confident, and hence arrogant.
It is more able to fire mortars and launch rockets and cross-border attacks, and far more eager to do so.
As for US policy, while supporting some sanctions
on Hamas and refusing to engage with it, the US government has not supported overthrowing the Gaza regime, though any serious assessment of US interests shows this should be a priority – part of the war against Iranian hegemony in the region, revolutionary Islamism, terrorism and instability.
Even more, doing so would aid the moribund peace process by keeping the Palestinian Authority in power.
But there is no appreciation for these points in Washington today.
What makes matters worse is the Obama administration’s demand – after about a half-dozen Islamist militants were killed on a ship after they attacked IDF soldiers – to minimize sanctions.
Thus, the Obama administration is not just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, it’s enlarging the hole below the water line.
This ensured that there would be a genocidal, revolutionary Islamist, subversion- spreading, anti-American, brutally repressive, anti-Christian, misogynist Iranian client on the Mediterranean.
What’s really alarming is that the description in the previous sentence is not in the least exaggerated.
We’re talking about a regime like the Taliban here.
Now, US support for a transformation of Egypt, with no idea where that will lead, has helped turn that nation into a Hamas ally. The Obama administration has also supplied one more reason why revolutionary Islamists feel the future belongs to them, America is finished in the region and why they should be even more aggressive.
What we are seeing now is Hamas getting new weapons and escalating its use of terrorism. In addition, we are not even seeing significant international action or even criticism of this behavior.
On the contrary, the more terrorism Hamas commits, the more Israel is criticized in the Western media.
Terrorism works; aggression goes unpunished. Why be surprised that Hamas becomes increasingly confident
?
It’s only a matter of time until Hamas once again launches a larger-scale assault on Israel. At that point, Israel will have to respond with a major counterattack on the Gaza Strip.
Will Egypt remain neutral
? Will its government stop the Muslim Brotherhood and its sympathizers, or rush arms, money and even armed Egyptian volunteers into the Gaza Strip? Will the West blame Israel for the violence? Will the US take any productive action?
This crisis is inevitable, though it might take a couple of years. Yet nobody outside Israel sees – or wants to see – what’s coming.
