    Yeah, well for how many decades now "world leaders" have refused to urge restraint when suicide bombers were killing innocent Israelis? Now that a solid retaliation is being offered, restraint is necessary? Lebanon has been harboring terrorists for years, it is perhaps time to pay a price for it. I am all against violence and wars, but Israel's patience seems to have come to an end.

    Maybe it is time to move the nation of Israel. Lets face it the whole re-establishing of the nation of Israel was ill conceived, much of it the work or wrong ideas about biblical prophecy.

    Lets admit we were wrong earlier rather than later.

    The following article has one idea.

    The attacks on Israel, I am confident, were ordered by Iran. The Iranian mullahs and Amadinanut profess to believe in a version of Islam that will feature an Islamic Armageddon which will be ended by the triumphal return of the twelfth Imam, who will rule Earth. Some of them apparently believe that they can hasten the twelfth Imam's return by provoking war. Iran has been at war with the U.S. in the sense of commissioning terrorism since 1979, but we have refused to play the game. The Iranian leadership believes that we are weak and that the time has come to test us further. They know that we are a divided country, that Bush is increasingly unpopular because of the mess in Iraq, and that the American government pulled out of Vietnam, Mogadishu, Lebanon, etc. The attacks on Israel serve the purpose of diverting attention from Iran's efforts to become a nuclear power. Interestingly, the Saudi government seems to be concerned that what's going on in Lebanon and Syria will lead to a wider conflict, which it would like to avoid.

    Sooner or later, we are going to have to take on Iran's leadership in a showdown. The war in Iraq and the war along the Med. coast are all part of the same conflict. We have to bring about regime changes in Syria and Iran, and we have to fight to force Islam to either reform drastically or disintegrate. In my judgment, we have no choice.

    Yeah,

    You don't have to be an expert in teleological projection to see that since the European Jews who've immigrated to Palestine and inserted themselves there to form the State of Israel, that it will ultimately end badly for the Jews who've immigrated there and for the indigenous Palestinians, alike.

    Of course, the Palestinians have always been relatively defenseless.

    And, sooner or later, some Jewish faction will attempt to destroy the Dome of the Rock Mosque, which has stood over the Old Second Temple since 685 AD.

    That's where a Jewish State is heading: the religio-racist Israeli elements will attempt an ethnic cleansing and a destruction of the DOME so they can have animal sacrifices in a Jewish Temple on the old site.

    Of course, that's just a revival of the same spirit that rejected Christ, and one in which Christ condemned, saying:

    "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate."

    And:

    "And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down."

    As Preterists, we certainly know that God has never ordained a Third Jewish Temple, and that he did ordain the complete destruction of Old Jerusalem, the Second Temple, and the tiny Judean nation itself, in 70 AD, just as Jesus prophesied.

    So, in spite of their monopoly on Middle Eastern nuclear weapons, could Israeli Jews be setting themselves up for another tragic Holocaust?

    Could be.

    And the Dome of the Rock may be their critical stumbling block, as it is clear that certain fanatical, Israeli Jewish factions are itching to destroy it even now, so they can have the site for themselves.

    Peace to you all,
    C. Livingstone

    Christian leaders hold sit-in at Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem (Score: 1)

    Jerusalem-Ma'an- exclusive- Dozens of Christian figures of all sects held a sit-in strike in the yard of the Holy Sepulchre in the city of Jerusalem with bishop Atallah Hanneh in the front Thursday evening. The sit-in was a joint protest by all the Christian churches in Palestine against the Israeli aggression on Lebanon and Palestine.

    Bishop Hanneh spoke on behalf of the protesters. He greeted both the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples and prayed to God to give them tolerance and patience under these dire conditions.

    In a declaration to Ma'an, bishop Atallah Hanneh condemned the Israeli offensive on Gaza and Lebanon and assured that "the church utters the call of truth, which says that no believer can afford to stay silent in the face of an aggression which kills young and old alike."
