SHOW & TELL GAME IN ISRAEL!
Israel has SHOWN Its Willingness!
Only Time will TELL What the Terror Groups Do!

The recent flurry of high level meetings between Syrian & Iranian Presidents, the Palestinian Authority & the Syrian President, and the PA & numerous terror groups headquartered in Damascus, will have their decisions manifested in the future actions by the in-country terrorist groups against Israel.
Only they and God know what they actually decided as a future course behind doors closed to the rest of the world. I have always believed they would finally come to the conclusion the only way they could ever meet their true objective of driving Israel out of the land from Dan to Beersheba, was to lull Israelis into a false sense of security prior to launching a lightning Jihad by a great consolidation of ten Arab nations.
If, and when, they finally reach such a conclusion, we will see major in-country terror attacks drop to a minimum until
they can consolidate their strength for an all out Jihad blitz.
If, as Israel continues its removal of West Bank settlements, terrorist groups turn to strengthening their positions within the Palestinian Authority, this may be the prelude for such a scenario.
Once we see the security barrier/fence/wall completed, and the Palestinian Authority, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and al-Aksa Martyrs Brigades enclosed within it, then I believe we will finally hear the Israelis say “peace and safety” for the first time since 70 AD. As I indicated in the previous BLOG, we are in for a lot of haggling in the coming months between Israelis and all their in-country opponents, but I am hopeful the internal positioning for power among the Palestinians will cause a decline in terrorist attacks against the Israeli population.
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.

Israel Says Onus is now on Palestinians – Steven Gutkin
Israel has redrawn its borders before the world’s eyes, completing with dazzling speed its pullout from the Gaza Strip and part of the West Bank.
“We disengaged the people from the land in the Gaza Strip and the northern part of the West Bank. Now it’s the Palestinians’ turn to disengage themselves from violence and terror,” said Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Gideon Meir. Once Palestinians begin reining in their militants, “we can start to talk about the final status of the territories,” he said. If Gaza becomes Hamas-stan, as many Israelis fear, few will expect Israel to hand over more territory.

Bush: “Progress Toward Peace Depends on an End to Terror”
President Bush said Monday: “This past week, Prime Minister Sharon and the Israeli people took a courageous and painful step by beginning to remove settlements in Gaza and parts of the northern West Bank. The Israeli disengagement is an historic step that reflects the bold leadership of Prime Minister Sharon. Both Israelis and Palestinians have elected governments committed to peace and progress, and the way forward is clear.
We’re working for a return to the road map. We’re helping the Palestinians to prepare for self-government and to defeat terrorists who attack Israel, and terrorists who oppose the establishment of a peaceful Palestinian state.
We’re providing $50 million in direct assistance to the Palestinians for new housing and infrastructure projects in Gaza.”
“We remain fully committed to defending the security and well-being of our friend and ally, Israel, and we demand an end to terrorism and violence in every form, because we know that progress toward peace depends on an end to terror. We’ll continue working for the day when the map of the Middle East shows two democratic states, Israel and Palestine, living side-by-side in peace and security.” (White House)
