Islamic Moon Cradling Israel in its Crescent!
January 17, 2007

The ancient moon god, who once held the descendants of Ishmael in his grasp, has now succeeded in cradling Israel like the Islamic symbol of a star in a crescent moon flag.
The crescent now curves from Syria via Lebanon to Gaza, like an open mouth ready to devour Israel.
How appropri
ate that the Islamic crescent moon and star flag of the old Turkish Ottoman Empire pictures a crescent moon seemingly poised to devour a star.
How ironic that the Star of Jacob will, in reality, in the last days, devour the crescent moon of Islam, according to Balaam, the son of Beor.
Numbers 24:17 – I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there sh all come
a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.
The latest Military Intelligence reports continue to confirm that both al-Qaeda and Iran are continuing to strengthen the crescent of power they have linked across the northern border of Israel and down to Gaza. The two articles from Haaretz and the New York Post give the details of the strengthening
of that Islamic crescent.

Military Intelligence: Al-Qaeda Sent to Lebanon to Attack UNIFIL, Iran Rearming Hizbullah, Hamas Is Strengthening
Gideon Alon
The head of IDF Military Intelligence, Maj.-Gen. Amos Yadlin, told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Tuesday: “Between several dozen and several hundred al-Qaeda activists have arrived in Lebanon from Iraq and Pakistan, in accordance with instructions from the group’s leadership to deploy in Syria, Lebanon, and Egypt in order to carry out terror attacks.” He added that the targets could be UNIFIL and other Western interests.
He said a small number of al-Qaeda operatives had infiltrated Gaza, and a few have been found in Nablus in the West Bank.
According to Yadlin, Hizbullah has not left southern Lebanon and arms transfers from Syria are continuing apace, It is currently focused on rehabilitating its strength with the help of large quantities of arms from Iran.
Yadlin said Hamas’ financial situation is improving, along with its standing in relation to Fatah, adding that Hamas members have received training in Syria and Iran.
He said Fatah incurred most of the casualties during the recent Palestinian clashes in Gaza, but Fatah remains the main power broker in the West Bank. Yadlin said 77 Palestinian suicide bombers were arrested in 2006, 45 of whom were en route to an attack.
Terrorists fired 1,200 Kassam rockets at Israel in 2006, 700 of which hit populated areas. (Ha’aretz)

Facing Iran: Arabs See No Choice but War
Amir Taheri
A recent tour of Arab capitals shows that Arab leaders appear resigned to a military showdown with the Islamic Republic of Iran and are preparing for it.
Tehran has spent vast sums of money and energy to procure clients in the Sunni Islamist Hamas movement and leftist guerrilla groups.
The Islamic Republic has launched a new program under which thousands of Palestinian “volunteers for martyrdom” are trained in Iran, Lebanon, and Syria to fight both Israel and the secular faction of PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas.
One reason for Tehran’s “increasing cockiness” is Ahmadinejad’s success in convincing the Khomeinist leadership in Iran that the U.S. is in “strategic retreat.” “The American Great Satan is wounded and bleeding,” says Hassan Abbasi, Ahmadinejad’s strategic advisor.
“If we break Bush, no other American leader would have the heart to defy Islam,” he says. Tehran started beating the drums of war over a year ago.
If one listens carefully, one can now hear the response from the Arab side – in the form of faint drumbeats that are bound to get louder in the months ahead.
