It's a strange setup and a very deceiving one unless, like the article says, you care to look into the history of this so called "Palestinian" issue

I've never been a political activist but have been through several stages of political views, some totally contradicting my way of living.

There was a long period where I believed the left in Israel were the "peace lovers" and the right were "war mongers"

Went through many heavy debates siding with, what I believed to be "the right and human" thing to do

Some 30 years of army duty, several wars, and many terrorist attacks later I can see that the "Palestinian people" are just a bunch of pawns being used by the greater Arabic nation that includes the whole of the middle east, north africa, west Asia and more.

It is amazing that a little pin-point dot on the map is causing so much racus in the so called Arab world.

It has nothing to do with Palestinians. In fact, many contacts I've had over the years with, what the world likes to call "Palestinians" have brought me to the conclusion that they themselves know that the real catastrophy is yet before them, and that is the day they will have a Palestinian state!

Many have told me how much they fear that day but cannot express it for fear of death.

Israel is fortunate to have all her enemies around her. I know that sounds crazy but ...

A. it keeps the Israeli people united (as much as is possible)

B. it gives the Arab world a reason to disagree with everything we say and in so doing, stops us from shooting ourselves in the leg by making all kind of ridiculous concessions

So Israel "turning right" is apparently the right thing to do

This might sound bad to those who think they are doing the right thing for the so called Palestinian people but in the long run they will be better off with a strong solid Israel. Just my two-cents

What is really needed of course, is, turning Godwards, and that will come too. I don't think we even have a choice. It's God's will that will be done

Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done

Why do the nations gather together? Why do their people devise useless plots?

Kings take their stands. Rulers make plans together against the LORD and against his Messiah by saying,

"Let's break apart their chains and shake off their ropes."

The one enthroned in heaven laughs. The Lord makes fun of them.

Then he speaks to them in his anger. In his burning anger he terrifies them by saying,

"I have installed my own king on Zion, my holy mountain."

I will announce the LORD's decree. He said to me: "You are my Son. Today I have become your Father.

Ask me, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance and the ends of the earth as your own possession.

You will break them with an iron scepter. You will smash them to pieces like pottery."

Now, you kings, act wisely. Be warned, you rulers of the earth!

Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

Kiss the Son, or he will become angry and you will die on your way because his anger will burst into flames.

Blessed is everyone who takes refuge in him. Psalms 2 (God's Word Translation)

Maranatha!

Interesting perspective, hupo. And 'turning Godwards' is the ONLY option any of us have. Good post!
