How shall we face real persecution

Is Islam mandate to rule the world? It surely doesn't look like a secret agenda.

 

 'How quick it is to dismiss and to forget that there was a time where Christians were thrown to lions, burned as human torches, mangled by wild beasts, killed by gladiators, tortured, torn apart by wild horses, or martyred in other dreadful ways?  Another great period of martyrdom broke out at the time of the Reformation in the 16th and 17th centuries.  We can read the accounts in all their gruesome details in Fox's Book of Martyrs'.

 

Do you know what century was the most tortuous of all?  It is estimated that more Christians were tortured and slain in twelve months during World War II than died under Rome in all the early centuries.  In the city of Seoul, Korea, ten thousand Christians have already suffered martyrdom for their faith.  Some authorities claim that over fifteen million Christians have been slaughtered in India,  Pakistan, China, Soviet-controlled Europe and other Communist countries.  Since Christianity began, no generation has seen such worldwide persecution as is now in progress. 

 

In Africa and the Middle East, Egypt, by the hundreds and thousands Christians are being killed by Muslim.  Europe lost its gripes over the growing Muslim population.  They are increasing their population by using the same tactic that the provincial government of Quebec used with the support of the Catholic Church in the nineteen century for the purpose to increase their representation in the Federal government that is by making babies.  What do you think will be the result once Muslim reaches a democratic majority?  Democracy will prove that it is not the best form of government.  At election, there is always part of the population who lose and are left out.  Democracy only works when the minority submit to the majority. Would you submit to Sharia law?  Democracy is not necessary the best solution in some country such Iraq. There is more disorder and suicide booming among Muslim now than under the regime of Saddam Hussein.

 

 In spite of the facts, political and some church leaders persist in avoiding any mention of Islam or Muslim when referring to their violence.  That is always blamed on extremists.  We are now considered racist for our comments toward Muslim.  Would I be accused of racism for denouncing Nazism as evil? This society is afraid of Islam.  Studying the origin of Islam will reveal that Muhammad himself began this trail of death, and his followers have obeyed, as supported by the Qur'an. 

 

This simple truth of history is brushed aside by the UN and almost the entire world, including some denomination church that support the establishment of a Palestinian State unaware that it is the foothold used by the surrounding Islamist nations who are planning Israel extinction (Ezekiel 38).  Those denominations have accepted the "Replacement Theology" proclaiming that the Church have replace Israel as God's representative and that the role of the Jews as God's Chosen People was over.

 

Islam nations are at war with the Jews since 1920, when the Jewish army repelled the first Arab attacks on the Palestine Jews.  Jews were in Palestine long before 1948 the birth of the nation Israel.  Before 1920, the Zionist decided to redeem Palestine by buying land on a grand scale for all Jewish settlers.  Suddenly, the scraggy soil of Palestine, neglected for fifteen centuries by its alien custodians, acquired value.  Though prices asked by Arab and Turkish landholders were outrageous, the Zionist Jewish National Fund paid them.  By 1948, when the State of Israel was founded, the Jews had paid millions of dollars for 250,000 acres of desert land, had settled 83,000 Jews on the land, had founded 233 villages, and planted 5,000,000 trees on soil which but fifty years previous had been barren.  (Ref: Jews, God and History by Max I. Dimont)  Yet, Arab nations goal is to annihilate all Jews.

 

Israel is God chosen people.  The land belongs to God.  Leviticus 25:23-24.  God bestow it to Israel, Jeremiah 31:36, and Deut 11:21.  Long time prophesied to return to God's promise land, Ezekiel 37:11-12.

 

Any nations and church denominations that take side against Israel do so against God.  ""I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.  I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you." Genesis 12:2-3.  This declaration by God is very well active today.  Look at the poor economical state of the nations who are putting pressure on Israel to give up land for peace.  Canada is in good standing before God for it role of supporting Israel, therefore blessed abundantly economically compare to its G8 members counter part.

 

Church denominations that support a Palestinians state do not understand that Islam is forcing its religion against peoples wills.  Their mandate is to convert the whole world.  I am not making this up. It is in the Qur'an.  Many accept Islam for fear of losing their business, their family and their life.  ISLAM IS A RELIGION OF TERROR that seed fear and submission ruled by Sharia law 

 

Among the horrors of Sharia are death for criticism of Islam, death for leaving Islam, death for non-Muslims living under Sharia, the near impossibility of rape victims to prove rape, wife beating, child marriage, unequal rights for women, no legal rights for non-Muslims, and the subjugation of women.  There is no retribution by the Islamic State against a Muslim who kills a non-Muslim under Sharia law.  If this should happen in Canada, would there not be an outcry for justice?  This is it …it is not happening here in Canada…yet!  So why should we get involved?  No one toke seriously Winston Churchill warning about the dangers of a German Nazi regime.

 

 

The Qur'an considers Jesus to be a prophet.  At the return of the Mahdi (Muslin messiah), Jesus will be his servant.  Frankly, who came first?  Jesus Son of God who GAVE His life on the cross by spilling HIS blood so that whoever believes in Him (voluntarily) may have eternal life, and warned us of false prophet to come, or Muhammad the prophet who spilled blood to whoever resists him from converting to Islam? 

Hitler had a secret mandate to eliminate Jews. Islam has an open mandate to eliminate the "infidels" which are considered Christians, Jews and anyone who oppose Islam.  There is no such thing as a moderate Islamist.  They are wolf in sheet skin.

 

What are we to do? Denounce then? Bring their scam to light?  IT IS ALREADY TO LATE FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.  Muslin emigration into United States is out of control. President Obama is Muslin, not Christian.

 

Here's a small excerpt  by Brigitte Gabriel's speech delivered at the Intelligence Summit in Washington DC

 

This is the ugly face of the enemy we are fighting. We are fighting a powerful ideology that is capable of altering basic human instincts. An ideology that can turn a mother into a launching pad of death. A perfect example is a recently elected Hamas official in the Palestinian Territories who raves in heavenly joy about sending her three sons to death and offering the ones who are still alive for the cause. It is an ideology that is capable of offering highly educated individuals such as doctors and lawyers far more joy in attaining death than any respect and stature life in society is ever capable of giving them.
The United States has been a prime target for radical Islamic hatred and terror. Every Friday, mosques in the Middle East ring with shrill prayers and monotonous chants calling death, destruction and damnation down on America and its people. The radical Islamist deeds have been as vile as their words. Since the Iran hostage crisis, more than three thousand Americans have died in a terror campaign almost unprecedented in its calculated cruelty along with thousands of other citizens worldwide. Even the Nazis did not turn their own children into human bombs, and then rejoice at their deaths as well the deaths of their victims. This intentional, indiscriminate and wholesale murder of innocent American citizens is justified and glorified in the name of Islam.

 

 

We are next Canada.  Is it to late to change coarse?  Oh yes.  We are to involve in our daily way of life, to content to look for threats. These are part of the signs of time predicted since the book of Daniel to the book of Revelation. "Blessed is the man who listens to me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at the posts of my doors". Pro 8:24.

The truth is that hatred for Christians and Christianity is rapidly increasing. Jesus warned us that these days would come.

 

The times ahead of us are not referred to as "the Tribulation" for nothing. It will be an absolute bloodbath for Christians. The entire world system will be geared towards eliminating all traces of the true Christian faith. Members of the same family will even betray one another to the authorities.

 

The truth is that things are not going to get any easier for Christians from here on out.    Someday soon there will be no place to hide from Christian persecution.

 

When that day arrives, what will you do?  Pray for thy kingdom come.

 

The Frightening Rise Of Christian Persecution

Deceiving negotiation - Land for Peace

History is about to repeat itself – President Obama made a proposition with the devil and Israel condemned to pay the price

Is it coincidental that United States President Obama on Tuesday, Aug 31st, 2010 made an astonish announcement to withdraw military troop in Iraq that followed by a meeting at the White House in which  the President will oversees the first direct negotiations between, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas Thursday Sept 2nd, 2010 of what American officials hope will be a series of meetings that lead in a year's time to an agreement on the creation of a Palestinian state?

United States of America to achieve it goal for a secure supply of oil from Arab nations had to compromise in two important geo-political policies in the Middle East. One is it involvement in Iraq and the other is it support toward Israel. Is the Western Nations (which include Canada) through the intermediary of President Obama ready to make a deal with the devil?  Is history about to repeat itself?

Prime Minister Chamberlain of the United Kingdom was best known for appeasement foreign policy, in particular regarding his signing of the Munich Agreement in 1938, conceding the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia to Germany, and for his "containment" policy of Germany in 1939 that culminated in declaring war on Germany on 3 September 1939.  The Sudetenland was of immense strategic importance to Czechoslovakia, as most of its border defences were situated there.  Czechoslovakia alone wound have defeated any German invasion.  They were "Blackmail" to give land for peace.  (Ironic)

We all know the consequences.  Millions have lost their lives.  What have we learned for this?  It is not wise to negotiate to avoid war at all cost with someone that had publicly accused the Jews to be the causes of all evil. "MEIN KAMPF" an autobiographical book (My Struggle) by Hitler written while imprisoned in the Landsberg fortress after the "Beer-Hall Putsch" in 1923. In this book, Hitler propounds his ideas, beliefs, and plans for the future of Germany.

Everything, including his foreign policy, is permeated by his "racial ideology." The Germans, belonging to the "superior" Aryan race, have a right to "living space" (Lebensraum) in the East, which is inhabited by the "inferior" Slavs. Throughout, he accuses Jews of being the source of all evil, equating them with Bolshevism and, at the same time, with international capitalism. Unfortunately, those people who read the book (except for his admirers) did not take it seriously but considered it the ravings of a maniac. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mein_Kampf).

Aryan race are people who in post historic times settled in what is now Iran and what use to be Persia and before Babylon. It is not coincidental that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has the same inspiration of Adolf Hitler.  It is not accidental that Babylon was Israel enemy that brought them in captivity. (Job 12:23, Dan 2:21)

On June 6, we commemorated D Day, a day where Canada, Great Britain and the USA combined their effort to battle an enemy that could have been stopped in 1938. In the previous year, 1937 British Peel Commission asserts that Jewish National Home cannot be built in Palestine. It recommends repartition of Palestine into tiny Jewish state (5% of total area) and Arab state in remainder.  Peel Plan is rejected by both Arabs and Jews. Britain halts Jewish immigration to Palestine, condemning millions of European Jews to the Holocaust.  In 1939 Hitler overruns Czechoslovakia.  Chamberlain White Paper announces end to Jewish National Home and promises control of immigration into Palestine to the Arabs within five years. British blockade Palestine against "illegal" Jewish immigration. In 1939, Hitler invades Poland. World War II begins and you all know the rest.. That was a very brief history of what accumulated to millions of lost lives that could have been avoided.  However, the signs of our time bear an immense resemblance to the signs of time of pre-world war II.

Number one human greatest flaw is poor memory.  Adding to this flaw is indifference.   Indifference and lack of comprehension of today's world condition are the main causes "for some" Canadians to walk "hand in hand" with the Quartet's Road Map for peace and its Representatives that side with Palestinians.  They are convince, that giving land for peace will appease the conflict in the region.

Lets us look at the world geo-political condition of our time:

North Korea is launching missiles,
Iran is building nukes,
Saudi Arabia is sponsoring hate that translates into worldwide terrorism,
Sudan is still massacring and raping,
China is busy ethnic cleansing Tibet into a Chinese province, 
Taliban invasion of Pakistan,
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called the Holocaust a "big deception" in his latest denunciations of Israel and its allies.

Pre-Second World War signs of time are lollypops compare with the signs war that is heating up in the Middle East and Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states on one side, and Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah and, provisionally, Syria, on the other; in center stage Israel, accused for the instability in the region.  (Ironic)

I it not utmost curious behaviour in the Obama Administration to negotiate with those who publicly announce the destruction of Israel at any given time.

Williams Armstrong in an article title "Abandonment of Israel" – washingtontimes.com
stated: "Settlement activity is a marginal issue.  Hamas, a notorious terrorist organization, controls Gaza.  Iran daily inches closer to a nuclear capability and hikes its support for Hamas and Hezbollah. The Palestinian Authority is complicit with, and complacent about, the terrorist infrastructure in the West Bank, corruption, and vigilante justice.  With these intransigent and belligerent negotiating parties, no peace agreement is at hand.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas told The Washington Post that he was content to sit on his hands waiting for the United States to deliver Israel to the altar of endless concessions, adding that he will resist even asking Arab states to take baby steps toward normalizing relations with Israel, as Mr. Obama would applaud".

It is imperative that Canada disassociates itself with the Quartet's Road Map for peace and its Representatives which consist of United Nations — Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, European Union — High Representative Javier Solana,  Russian Federation — Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, United States of America — Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and Special Envoy — Tony Blair which, have all a very precarious agenda. 

Israel is God chosen people (Deut 7:6).  The land belong to God (Jer 27:5), for it is their perpetual possession  (Lev 25:34) therefore He decide to whom it is to be award to. 

There is a genuine reason for Canada financial strength in this global economic crisis. Canada's policies toward Israel within his representation at the United Nations have been favourable in God eyes.  What is the secret of Canada financial blessing?  God does keep His promise made to Abraham.  "God bless those who bless Israel" Gen 12:3.  All nations will give account of their action toward the nation Israel and the Jews (Matt 25: 31-46).

Is it a genuine coincident that simultaneously as  President Obama announces these negotiation, hurricane Earl increased to a category 4? It is not?  Every time United States gets involve in a peace negotiation to force Israel to give up land for peace came about a violent  display of nature against the nation. Aren't they not called "Act of God" for a reason.

Previous President Bush was the most vocal U.S. backer of the Gaza evacuation. Hurricane Katrina hit the states in between Texas and Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi. One week before Katrina made landfall, Israel carried out the evacuation of 9,500 residents from Gush Katif and four Samaria communities. Residents were forced from their homes by Israeli troops, some dragged away kicking and screaming and placed on buses that took them from the area. Was this a coincident?

Katrina, written in Hebrew, has a numerical equivalent of 374, according to a biblical numbering system upheld by all traditional Jewish authorities. Two relevant passages in the Torah share the exact numerical equivalent: "They have done you evil" (Gen. 50:17) and "The sea upon land" (Exodus 14:15). Abraham, the biblical father of the Jews, received this promise from God in the book of Genesis: "I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed."


On the other hand, I am very please of the support demonstrated by Hon. Irwin Cotler, Liberal party's Special Counsel on Human Rights and International Justice, who called on Canada to take action under the U.N. Charter to have Iran called to account for its violation of the Convention.  As he point out, "Canada not only have a right to invoke the Convention to prevent genocide but also are under an obligation to do so. Article 8 of the Convention reads: Any Contracting Party may call upon the competent organs of the United Nations as they consider appropriate for the prevention and suppression of acts of genocide or any of the other acts enumerated in Article 3."  Not to many nations have the audacity and the courage to speak out for Israel.

Israel is under great pressure to facilitate in the establishment of a Palestinian state at a great cost.  Bill Wilson, Daily Jot News Service Senior Analyst - www.dailyjot.com announce on May 6 that "The new Middle East policy announced by the White House at the annual American-Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) meeting is nothing short of "Blackmail Foreign Policy."  (Does this sound familiar?  "Czechoslovakia, 1938")

The current Israeli government was, elected partly on the promise that there would be no two state agreements. The majority of Jewish people are against it.
 
 It is outmost important that Canadian disassociate itself from the Quartet's Road Map for peace.  It is a curse for all who conspire against Israel (Gen 12:3).  Observe the economic condition of the nations representative of the Quartet compare to Canada. 

All over the planet a new reality is dawning. ISLAM has vowed to conquer the whole world. Here are some of the words of Hamas Leader Khaled Masha'al which he delivered in a Damascus mosque, spelling out what myriads of others daily are saying in their mosques and through their media channels:

[ The following are excerpts from an address by Hamas leader Khaled Mash'al at the Al-Murabit Mosque in Damascus. The address was delivered following the Friday sermon at the mosque, and was aired on Al-Jazeera TV on February 3, 2006. To view this clip, visit: http://www.memritv.org/Search.asp?ACT=S9&P1=1024 ]

"We say to this West, which does not act reasonably, and does not learn its lessons: By Allah, you will be defeated. You will be defeated in Palestine, and your defeat there has already begun. True, it is Israel that is being defeated there, but when Israel is defeated, its path is defeated,
those who call to support it are defeated, and the cowards who hide behind it and support it are defeated. Israel will be defeated, and so will whoever supported or supports it. (Hey, is he threatening us, Canadian?)

"America will be defeated in Iraq. (
DONE) Wherever the [Islamic] nation is targeted, its enemies will be defeated, Allah willing. The nation of Muhammad is gaining victory in Palestine. The nation of Muhammad is gaining victory in Iraq, and it will be victorious in all Arab and Muslim lands.

'Their multitudes will be defeated and turn their backs [and flee].' These fools will be defeated, the wheel of time will turn, and times of victory and glory will be upon our nation,
and the West will be full of remorse, when it is too late.

"They think that history has ended with them. They do not know that the law of Allah cannot be changed or replaced. 'You shall not find a substitute for the law of Allah. You shall not find any change to the law of Allah.' Today, the Arab and Islamic nation is rising and awakening, and it will reach its peak, Allah willing. It will be victorious. It will link the present to the past. It will open up the horizons of the future.
It will regain the leadership of the world. Allah willing, the day is not far off.

"
Don't you see that they believe they are capable of using democracy to deceive the people, but then democracy is turned against them? Don't you see that they are spending their money in efforts to block the way of Allah, to thwart Hamas, to defeat it, and to help those whom they want, but that [this plot] is turned against them? They are not acting reasonably.

"They do not understand the Arab or Muslim mentality.

"
Tomorrow, our nation will sit on the throne of the world. This is not a figment of the imagination, but a fact. Tomorrow we will lead the world, Allah willing. Apologize today, before remorse will do you no good. Our nation is moving forwards, and it is in your interest to respect a victorious nation.

"Our nation will be victorious. When it reaches the leadership of the world, and controls its own decisions, then it will prevent this overt interference [in our affairs], and its pillaging of natural resources, and will prevent these recurring offenses against our land, against our nation, and against our holy places - then you will regret it.

"
Before Israel Dies, it Must Be Humiliated and Degraded"

Mash'al: "
Before Israel dies, it must be humiliated and degraded. Allah willing, before they die, they will experience humiliation and degradation every day. America will be of no avail to them. Their generals will be of no avail to them. The last of their generals has been forgotten. Allah has made him disappear. He's over. Gone is that Sharon behind whose back they would hide and find shelter, and with whom they would feel relatively secure.

Today they have frail leaders, who don't even know where our Lord placed them.

"Allah willing, we will make them lose their eyesight, we will make them lose their brains.

"Israel has begun to sense that its superiority has come to an end. Its army, which has superior conventional weapons - the air force, the armored corps, and the missiles - there are no longer wars in which these are used.


UN chief Ban Ki-moon calls on both sides to show sincerity, flexibility ahead of Netanyahu-Abbas meeting in Washington, says PA president must be given "full support."  It is obvious in the following statement that Ban Ki-moon is bias in supporting  Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.   "In addition, Ban said it was important that Abbas be "given full support" and that his leadership is recognized by the international community.""

The United Nations involvement in the Middle East to bring about peace in the Israel-Arab conflict as shown to be bias and untrustworthy to be the right mediator for the task of bringing peace in the Middle East.  Please read the history involvement  of the United Nation in the Israel-Palestinian conflict in a excerpt prepare by Jack Kinsella from  www.omegaletter.com


United Nations a pro-Islamic  Institution

Excerpt from In Search of a Happy Ending. . . Jack Kinsella - Omega Letter Editor-

In 1948, the combined forces of the Arab world converged on Israel following her declaration of statehood, vowing to annihilate the infant state while still in its crib.

The UN remained silent, fully expecting the Arab war machine to overrun the unarmed and unorganized Jewish state and put an end to the Jewish Question without having to endure another Adolf Hitler or another world war in order to accomplish it, while keeping a clear conscience in the meantime.

After all, the Germans were Europeans and Europe was much too cultured to countenance another Holocaust on its soil. On the other hand, the attacking forces in this case were all Arab Muslims. And killing Jews is what Arab Muslims do.

Nobody can blame them for that, anymore than one can blame a cat for killing mice. So the UN accepted Israel's declaration, granted it admission to the UN, and sat back to enjoy the fireworks.

To the UN's surprise, the ragtag Israeli Defense Forces beat back the combined armies of Transjordan, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria and Saudi Arabia and acquired an extra 2000 square miles of territory beyond that granted by the 1947 Partition Plan.

This forced the United Nations to impose a cease-fire on Israel, before the Israelis took over the whole durned Islamic Middle East.

In 1956, a new war between Israel and Egypt's Gamal Abdul Nasser broke out after the armies of Jordan, Egypt and Syria were consolidated under Egyptian leadership in a second effort to eradicate the Jewish State.

Israel's Operation Kadesh, commanded by Moshe Dayan, lasted less than a week; its forces reached the eastern bank of the Suez Canal in about 100 hours, seizing the Gaza Strip and nearly all the Sinai Peninsula.

Panicked, the UN General Assembly imposed a cease fire against Israel, forcing the Jewish State to give back all the territory it had gained during the second war of annihilation against the Jews in the space of eight years.

The hard-headed Israelis refused to surrender to the UN at first. It took several more resolutions and pressure from the United States before Israel withdrew in 1957 to its original, indefensible borders to wait for the next invasion.

Even then, the Jews wouldn't withdraw without security guarantees, so the UN established a United Nations Emergency Force (UNEF) to stand between Israel and the Arab world.

It took ten years before the Arab world sufficiently recovered to mount a third attempt to annihilate the Jews.

In June, 1967, when the Arab forces were fully prepared and Cairo has massed sufficient troops along Israel's border, UNEF pulled out and let Jordan, Syria and Egypt have another go at them.

Six days later, Israel had destroyed the Arab Legion's air force, kicked Syria off the Golan Heights, took back all of Jerusalem, threw Jordan out of the West Bank and took the Gaza Strip away from Egypt.

Israel's annexation of Sinai, Gaza, Arab East Jerusalem, the West Bank, and Golan Heights, shortened its land frontiers with Egypt and Jordan, removed the most heavily populated Jewish areas from direct Arab artillery range, and temporarily increased its strategic advantages.

Aghast, the United Nations imposed another ceasefire on Israel [Resolution 242] before the Islamic world's war-making abilities were completely destroyed.

In 1973, Egypt tried again, supported by Syria and financed by Saudi Arabia. The sneak attack was scheduled for October 6, as Israeli forces were at home with their families celebrating Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement.

The UN's major powers, including the US, Russians, French and the UK all knew of the attack several days in advance, but, in the spirit of fair play, let Israel discover it when Egyptian and Syrian tanks began rolling over Israel's border cities.

When it became clear that, instead of being finally destroyed, the Israelis had started to win [again] the UN forced another ceasefire and stationed another UN force between Israel and the Arabs to oversee Israeli compliance. [Resolution 338]

The Arab governments finally realized that they couldn't defeat Israel by conventional means, so they went underground, offering material support and training to Islamic terror groups, including Yasser Arafat's al Fatah and later, to Hezbollah.

In the thirty years since, the UN has passed more resolutions 'condemning' Israel, 'deploring' Israel, 'strongly condemning' Israel, imposing conditions on Israel and subsequently 'deeply regretting' Israel for ignoring them than it has against the rest of the world combined.

Twenty-six percent of all UN resolutions passed by the General Assembly since 1948 expressly condemn Israel. Of the 175 resolutions passed between 1948 and 1991, 97 – more than half – were aimed at Israel. Four were against an Arab state.

A month ago, Hamas infiltrated Israeli territory, killing several Israeli soldiers and kidnapping one young Israeli corporal to hold hostage, demanding the release of 1200 Palestinian terrorists held in Israeli jails as ransom.

The following week, Hezbollah invaded from the north, killed eight Israeli soldiers and kidnapped two more, announcing its intention to ransom its hostages for terrorist prisoners held by Israel.

The United Nations approved a document entitled "International Convention Against the Taking of Hostages" in December, 1979. Article 1 of this document defines the crime:

"Any person who seizes or detains and threatens to kill, to injure or to continue to detain another person (hereinafter referred to as the "hostage") in order to compel a third party, namely, a State, an international intergovernmental organization, a natural or juridical person, or a group of persons, to do or abstain from doing any act as an explicit or implicit condition for the release of the hostage commits the offence of taking of hostages ("hostage-taking") within the meaning of this Convention."

Article 3 expressly gives the state whose citizen was taken hostage carte blanche to do what is necessary to recover such hostages.

"The State Party in the territory of which the hostage is held by the offender shall take all measures it considers appropriate to ease the situation of the hostage, in particular, to secure his release and, after his release, to facilitate, when relevant, his departure."

Since the UN has not invoked [or even alluded to] its own conventions on hostage taking, one can only conclude that, under UN rules, 1) an Israeli hostage is not a 'person' and, 2) Israel is not a 'state'.

Therefore, Israeli military efforts aimed at recovering its hostages cannot be permitted. Consequently, UN Resolution 1701 imposing an Israeli ceasefire and withdrawal from Lebanon [without its hostages] passed the UN Security Council unanimously.

Secretary Kofi Annan expressed his deep disappointment in the Security Council [read: the United States] for letting Israel run roughshod over the 'innocent' Lebanese (who supplied Hezbollah with both a base of operations and helped them spirit Israeli hostages out of reach.)

Resolution 1701 'tabled' the fate of the hostages until a later time. [No doubt an endless source of comfort and hope for the Israeli hostages and their families]

To ensure a 'lasting peace' Israel must stop killing Hezbollah fighters. [While there are still some left to rearm and regroup]. UNIFIL's mandate to ensure Lebanon's border security was renewed. UNIFIL has been on Lebanon's border for 28 years. It is worth remembering that UNIFIL witnessed the Hezbollah abductions on July 12, but neither prevented NOR REPORTED it.

In its entire 28 year history, UNIFIL has yet to be cited as having prevented a SINGLE cross border incursion into Israeli territory by Hezbollah terrorists.

However, UNIFIL's value as a neutral deterrent force WAS highlighted in 2000. That was when the UN was forced to release photographic evidence of 'dozens' of UNIFIL troops and official UNIFIL vehicles that were PRESENT when Hezbollah kidnapped three other Israeli soldiers.

In that incident, it turned out that Hezbollah fighters were able to get close enough because they were wearing UNIFIL uniforms supplied by Indian elements of the UNIFIL force [in exchange for bribes amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars).

An Indian soldier attached to that UNIFIL unit later testified, "By this stage, there was a big commotion and dozens of UN soldiers from the Indian brigade came around." He testified that they all knew that the men wearing their uniforms were really Hezbollah in disguise.

He also testified that at least four UN soldiers collaborated with Hezbollah, helping them to reach the ambush site and assisted them in locating their IDF targets. When the story broke, Kofi Annan indignantly denied it and refused to investigate or take any action against the UNIFIL soldiers involved.

When Israel discovered the attack had been videotaped by UNIFIL soldiers, it demanded access to it. Kofi Annan and his Special Envoy denied that any videotape existed. Nine months after the kidnapping, July 6, 2001, the UN admitted that it had the videotape but refused to turn it over to Israel.

Kofi Annan demanded a UN 'investigation', which unsurprisingly concluded that there was no evidence that the UNIFIL forces had been bribed, or that the UN had deliberately misled anyone.

Annan nevertheless continued to refuse to let Israel see the tape until after he was forced to by a US Congressional vote [411-4] that tied compliance with Israeli's request to continued US financial support.

In the end, Kofi relented, kinda, but not before doctoring the tape so the perpetrators could not be identified. He also agreed to give the Israelis some, but not all, of the items which the UN had seized from the getaway cars.

On January 29, 2004, the bodies of the murdered Israelis were returned to Israel by Hezbollah, as part of a prisoner exchange.

So clearly, UNIFIL is the PERFECT choice to continue to protect Israel from Islamic terror. Which is why Kofi praised them so profusely in his UN rant following Resolution 1701's unanimous passage.

Resolution 1701 forbids further deployment of 'foreign forces' [like Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Syrian intelligence, etc.] from Lebanon without the consent of Lebanon's government. It forbids the sales or supply of arms and weapons into Lebanon without authorization from Lebanon's government.

Kofi Annan says that should address Israel's concerns about Hezbollah using the ceasefire to rearm itself. And it requires Lebanon's government to obey previous UN resolutions to disarm Hezbollah.

Has anybody ELSE noticed that Hezbollah is an elected PART of Lebanon's government?

As a parting shot, Resolution 1701 "Stresses the importance of, and the need to achieve, a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in the Middle East, based on all its relevant resolutions including its resolutions 242 (1967) of 22 November 1967 and 338 (1973) of 22 October 1973."

Strangely, Resolution 1559 calling for the disarmament of Hezbollah and Hamas wasn't mentioned as relevant to "a just and lasting peace."

There will be in a near future, a peace covenant that will be confirm for seven years (Daniel 9:27).  Nevertheless, at the end of 3 ½ years it will be broken. This will be the beginning of the worse period of humanity on earth never before recorded. 

"And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations which include Canada, and then the end will come".  Matthew 24:14
