What is likely to happen next in the land of Israel?   Here is the most likely scenario that I can foresee at the moment. Hamas, the fundamentalist Arab terrorist organization funded by Iran, will take complete control over the Palestinian autonomous areas. Hamas will then unleash a renewed reign of terror on Israel, continuing their lobbing of rockets from Gaza and Jericho to back up their demand for control of Jerusalem.   Abbas will orchestrate world pressure on Israel through the United Nations and the Vatican.

Dear Canadian Prime Minister Harper When it comes to the Middle East, too often there’s been an inability to distinguish between the despot and the democrat, the arsonist and the firefighter, among those who should know better.
