Russia wants to win Arab Favor by rewarding Hamas for Three War-Creating Positions!
Why should the UN, US, and EU lift Sanctions against a Hamas-Led PA Government that will not: (1) Give up Terrorism, (2) Recognize Israel’s Right to Exist as a State, and (3) Accept Previous PA and Israeli Agreements?

Russia is making billions from Arab Oil dollars by its sales of high tech weaponry to many of the Islamic States – Iran and Syria are the major purchasers.
Russia’s diplomatic moves, which are unquestionably for the purpose of gaining favor with Middle East governments, are always designed to gain an ever increasing foothold in the Middle East. The same is also true of China and North Korea.
Russia not only gains Arab favor, but has lifted its own economy by the enormity of Arab oil cash inflow revenues from weapons sales.
I am quite certain that the initial Jihad attack launched against Israel, which drives her into the Negev Wilderness, where she will remain for some three and one-half years, will be strictly an Arabic affair. But I do believe Russia, China, and North Korea will be a part of the final gathering of European, African, Eurasian, Middle Eastern, and Asian nations, which will come against Israel at the invitation of the Islamic Leader to join his forces to eliminate Israel, at the final single battle of Armageddon.
Zechariah 13:8 – 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.
(The Initial Jihad Attack of 10 Islamic Nations)
Revelation 12:6 – And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. (Israel flees into the Negev where she remains for three and on-half prophetic years)
Revelation 16:16 – And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
(The nations of the Old World are gathered together against Israel just before the vials of wrath, near the end of the last three and one-half years of the tribulation period)
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. (Nations are called from the Mount Moriah Temple Mount by the Antichrist to come to join him in the final destruction of Israel. None will be able to help him at Armageddon, since he will be destroyed by the power of the Messiah)
There will not be much left of Russia and all the other nations that join the Antichrist’s forces at the final battle of Armageddon.
Ezekiel 39:1,2 – Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: [2] And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
Malachi 4:1-3 – 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 13:9 – 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.
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.
Begin Jerusalem Post Report
Russia calls to lift blockade against Hamas Government
HERB KEINON, AP, and JPost Staff. THE JERUSALEM POST
January 30, 2007
Four days before the Quartet is scheduled to meet in Washington and discuss ways to “re-energize” the road map, a top Russian diplomat called on Tuesday for the lifting the international blockade of the Hamas-led Palestinian government, the Interfax news agency reported.
According to the report, Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Saltanov said that Moscow would use the Quartet meeting to urge the lifting of economic sanctions on the PA.
“Russia has always argued against the blockade and we expect the Quartet to listen to our view,” Interfax quoted him as saying. The Quartet is made up of the US, European Union, Russia and the UN.
Both US and European diplomatic officials have told The Jerusalem Post in recent days that there was no intention in Washington or Brussels to favor watering down the three criteria that the international community has set for granting legitimacy to the PA government: forswearing terrorism, recognizing Israel, and accepting previous Palestinian-Israeli agreements.
A senior Israeli diplomatic official said that there was no reason now to change the three principles, certainly after a Hamas spokesman said within hours of the Eilat suicide attack on Monday that it was a “legitimate response” to Israeli policies.
Russia disappointed Jerusalem last year by hosting Hamas leaders in Moscow soon after the Palestinian Legislative elections, but made no progress in persuading the group to change its positions.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, in a related matter, said over the weekend that Iran and Syria should be included in any regional peace initiatives.
“It is my deep conviction that Iran and Syria should not be isolated and must be involved in the settlement process,” Lavrov was quoted as saying by Interfax. This position is contrary to both the positions in Washington and Jerusalem.
Meanwhile, the Kremlin announced Tuesday that President Vladimir Putin will travel to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Jordan next week.
The Russian leader will visit Saudi Arabia at the invitation of Saudi King Abdullah on February 11-12. Putin will fly to Qatar for meetings with Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani on February 12 before heading to Amman for talks with Jordan’s King Abdullah II, the Kremlin said in a statement.
This will be Putin’s first trip to any of those countries, and comes as Moscow has stepped up its military and trade ties with the Arab world, including the delivering of state-of-the-art weapons systems to Syria and Iran.
Israeli officials downplayed the regional importance of Putin’s planned visit, saying that Putin was trying to balance the many visits in recent months by Arab leaders to Moscow.
Putin paid a state visit to Israel in 2005.
Meanwhile, a report issued by Britain’s Parliament on Tuesday said that the West’s isolation of Hamas had caused the group to strengthen its ties with Iran.
According to the report, the international community had created a “dangerous situation” in which the Palest
inian Authority was not responsible for its citizens.
The report also called the current situation in the PA “unstable” and warned that the Western nations’ refusal to talk with Hamas could have “negative results,” Army Radio reported.
