WORLD WAR III MAY BE JUST ON THE HORIZON -- ARABS ATTACK AS ISRAELIS WITHDRAW FROM LEBANON (Posted February 9, 2006) - The occult plan of three world wars being necessary to achieve the successful appearance of Antichrist seems near completion at this hour. The planned Third World War between Israel and her Arabs neighbors -- foretold in 1870 -- is set at a hair-trigger stage. The New World Order is coming! Are you ready? Once you understand what this New World Order really is, and how it is being gradually implemented, you will be able to see it progressing in your daily news!! Learn how to protect yourself, your loved ones! Consistent with the pattern of seeming Israeli indecision, confusion, and withdrawal in the face of Arab diplomatic pressure, Israeli Prime Minister Barak suddenly ordered the withdrawal of Israeli Defense Forces from Southern Lebanon. As the article, “Barak Blunder” reports, Israeli soldiers had but five minutes notice that they were evacuating back to Israel. They were ordered to leave in a moments notice, and had to leave behind some very valuable military equipment. The thinking Jew inside and outside Israel must be shaking their heads at this moment, wondering what is going on here? Why is the normally very dependable Israeli military and government acting in such a manner as this, leaving the impression on friend and foe alike that they really do not know what they are doing? This perception of being confused, and disorganized, is totally planned, so that the Arabs will attack Israel. What, you say? Israel is deliberately giving land to the Arabs so that they will attack the Jewish nation? Yes, that is exactly what I am saying; please allow me to explain. You might consider my article today to be an open warning to all Arab leaders that they had best stop attacking God’s people, the Jews. They have no concept that they are opposing Almighty God. As we stated NEWS1010, “Israel Key To End Time Events” God had repeatedly stated, in both Old and New Testaments, that He was going to restore Israel back to her land in the ‘latter days’, and would restore His betrothal to her. In other words, God was going to deal with Israel, again, as His Chosen People. more...

This is an old article with interesting information. It is several years old so the news contained is not recent. I’m posting it here for some of the information contained within the story that I believe shows some possible insights into the conflict with Israel and her Arab neighbors.

Boycott Egypt: Mohammed Cartoons Published in Egypt in October 2005 To No Fanfare Egyptian Sandmonkey (February 9, 2006) - Freedom For Egyptians reminded me why the cartoons looked so familiar to me: they were actually printed in the Egyptian Newspaper Al Fagr back in October 2005. I repeat, October 2005, during Ramadan, for all the egyptian muslim population to see, and not a single squeak of outrage was present. Al Fagr isn’t a small newspaper either: it has respectable circulation in Egypt, since it’s helmed by known Journalist Adel Hamoudah. Looking around in my house I found the copy of the newspaper, so I decided to scan it and present to all of you to see. Guess we will have to Boycott Egypt now as well, huh? Now while the arab islamic population was going crazy over the outrage created by their government’s media over these cartoons, their governments was benifitting from its people's distraction. The Saudi royal Family used it to distract its people from the outrage over the Hajj stampede. The Jordanian government used it to distract its people from their new minimum wage law demanded by their labor unions. The Syrian Government used it to create secterian division in Lebanon and change the focus on the Harriri murder. And, finally, the Egyptian government is using it to distract us while it passes through the new Judiciary reforms and Social Security Bill- which will cut over $300 million dollars in benefits to some of Egypt's poorest families. But, see, the people were not paying attention, because they were too busy defending the prophet by sending out millions of e-mails and SMS-messages, boycotting cheese and Lego and burning Butter and the danish Flag. Let’s not even mention the idiots who went the usual route of “It’s a jewish conspiracy”, spouted the stupid argument about the Holocaust, or went on a diatribe with the old favorite “There is an organized campaign-headed by the west and the jews- to attack and discredit Islam, and we have to defend it”. They proved, once again, that the arab world is retarded and deserves no better than its leaders.

I would recommend checking out the rest of Sand monkey’s Blog for other pictures and commentary on the hypocrisy of the extremists of the Middle-East.

Israel to withdraw from West Bank (February 9, 2006) - Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has announced Israel will unilaterally withdraw from most of the West Bank and make other moves aimed at changing the Jewish state’s borders. In taking the widely anticipated actions, Olmert explained his policy by claiming Palestinians may soon outnumber Jews and threaten Israel’s Jewish character unless a separation is imposed. Critics have said not only is the territory covered by Olmert’s plan strategic and vital to Israel’s defense, but state the acting prime minister is relying on false demographic information. They point to a recent studying indicating Jews likely will outnumber Arabs by more than double in 20 years. “[Israel] will separate from most of the Palestinian population that lives in the West Bank, and that will obligate us to separate as well from territories where the state of Israel currently is,” Olmert said in his first media interview since assuming his job as premier after Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s massive stroke last month. “We will gather ourselves into the main settlement blocs and preserve united Jerusalem. ... Ma’aleh Adumim, Gush Etzion and Ariel will be part of the state of Israel,” he said. Olmert, leading overwhelmingly in most polls ahead of March’s national elections, explained at a conference last month any West Bank withdrawal will be for reasons of Palestinian demography. more...

Hamas offers deal if Israel pulls out (February 9, 2006) - Hamas yesterday offered a long-term ceasefire if Israel withdraws from all land occupied in 1967. The announcement by Khaled Meshaal, one of Hamas’s most senior leaders, was its clearest policy statement since winning the Palestinian general election last month. Mr. Meshaal was speaking before a crucial Hamas meeting in Cairo on how the Islamist movement will form the new Palestinian government. While he promised a possible “long-term ceasefire” he refused to commit the organization to a full renunciation of violence, which is demanded of Hamas by the international community and Israel. Its charter warns that Israel faces elimination by Islam and calls for holy war or jihad against non-Muslim claimants of Palestine. Mr. Meshaal said he wanted to send a message to the Israeli government that Hamas would be ready to talk if Israel met conditions that included a withdrawal to the 1967 boundaries. Hamas would then “possibly give a long-term truce with Israel”, he said. Others have suggested a 10- to 15-year truce. This was the crystallization of several, often ambiguous, remarks made by Hamas’s senior members since the election and represented a clear bargaining position. Hamas will hope the international community puts heavy pressure on Israel to leave the occupied territories. more...

Abortion foes gain on new front (February 9, 2006) - A new front in the debate over abortion is emerging in legislatures across the nation. Abortion foes are gaining ground with proposals to require doctors to tell women seeking abortions that their fetuses might feel pain during the procedure. State “fetal pain” bills began popping up last year in the wake of other statutes that have drawn attention to the interests of fetuses, including bans on a procedure that its critics call “partial birth” abortion. (Related story: Abortion opponents seek new angle) Fetal pain bills were introduced in 19 states in 2005, and were passed in Arkansas, Georgia, Minnesota and Wisconsin. The Wisconsin bill was vetoed last month by Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle, who said it failed “to reflect a consensus of medical opinion” and “intrudes on the doctor-patient relationship in a heavy-handed manner.” He cited a controversial report in the Journal of the American Medical Association that said there is no conclusive evidence of when a fetus first feels pain. Despite such questions, more fetal pain bills are advancing this year. Such bills have been passed by House members in Utah and Indiana and are headed to their Senates. more...

Christian group relocates to West Bank in protest (February 9, 2006) - A Christian organization here has decided to move its headquarters from Jerusalem to a West Bank community in protest of Israel’s announced withdrawal from the area and is calling on Christians worldwide to help save the territory, which many refer to as Israel’s “biblical heartland.” The move comes on the heels of Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s revelation yesterday his administration will seek to unilaterally pull out from most of the West Bank, including strategic areas many military analysts consider crucial for Israel’s defense. “Christians worldwide must unite and help stop this tragedy before such a withdrawal creates an Iranian-backed fanatic Muslim Hamas state on Israel’s border and only 20 miles from Israel’s major airport where terrorists can fire at will at incoming airplanes,” Jan Willem van der Hoeven, director of the International Christian Zionist Center, told WND. The ICZC, a Christian pro-Israel advocacy organization, is moving to the Benyamin community of Beit El in the West Bank in solidarity with the areas resident and to protest any withdrawal from the territory. more...

Moscow is not happy about Iran’s position (February 8, 2006) - Three major Russian news agencies - RIA Novosti, ITAR-TASS and Interfax - have published a statement by a certain “expert”, who is closely involved in the negotiations on the Iranian problem. To quote the expert, “the situation around Iran is very bad and is going from bad to worse.” “A number of Iranian leaders are deliberately escalating the tensions,” he said. What is Moscow displeased about? What does it fear? To start with, Moscow was disappointed by Iran’s response to the decision of the International Atomic Energy Agency Board of Governors to transfer the Iranian file to the UN Security Council. “IAEA has made a rational decision, and Moscow is frustrated with Tehran’s spontaneous response to this decision,” said the expert. He seems to be hinting that IAEA could have made a much less favorable decision, and that Iran should not pretend it is not aware of this. more...

Bush Details Foiled 2002 Terror Attack (February 9, 2006) - Al Qaeda planned to hijack a commercial airplane with shoe bombs and fly it into Library Tower in Los Angeles, President Bush said Thursday, describing just one of many foiled terror attacks on the United States since Sept. 11, 2001. The plan, similar to the successful hijacking and flying of planes into the World Trade Center and Pentagon that killed more than 3,000 people over four years ago, was stopped with the help of coalition partners who arrested key operatives, Bush said. “We now know that in October 2001, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the mastermind of the September the 11th attacks, had already set in motion a plan to have terrorist operatives hijack an airplane using shoe bombs to breach the cockpit door and fly the plane into the tallest building on the West Coast,” Bush said in a speech to National Guardsmen in Washington, D.C. Library Tower is now known as US Bank Tower. In his speech, Bush mistakenly referred to it as Liberty Tower. The plot involved Malaysian militant Hambali, who was one of the leaders of Jemaah Islamiya, an Al Qaeda-related group that is responsible for bombings in the Philippines and other nations in Southeast Asia. Bush said Hambali recruited key operatives in Afghanistan, who met with Usama bin Laden to develop the plan. more...

100,000 Muslims to Vent Anger in London at Cartoon Protest (February 9, 2006) - A mass demonstration of 100,000 Muslims will take place in London next weekend as anger continues over publication of cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed. The Muslim Action Committee, an umbrella group which claims to represent more than a million Muslims, said it would do as much as it could to prevent the ugly scenes seen last week when protesters carried placards issuing death threats and one man dressed as a suicide bomber. But they said they needed to “channel” growing anger felt by communities across Britain that Muslims were being persecuted and made to feel like “second class citizens”. Faiz Saddiqi, the committee convener, said: “It is a peaceful protest. We will not let it be hijacked by the fringe elements.” more...

First They Came for Israel, Then They Came for America . . . (February 8, 2006) - In 1945, the anti-Nazi German pastor Martin Niemoller wrote the following:

“First they came for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn’t speak up, because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me.”

This famous statement can be updated for Europeans:

First they came for Israel, and we didn’t speak up because we weren’t Jews. Then they came for Lebanon’s Christians, and we didn’t speak up because we weren’t Maronites. Then they came for America, and we didn’t speak up because we weren’t Americans. Then they came for Sudan’s blacks, and we didn’t speak up because we weren’t Sudanese blacks. Then they came for us, and by that time there was no one left to speak up for us. As long as Muslim demonstrators only shouted “Death to America” and “Death to Israel,” Europe (and the rest of the world’s Left) found reasons either to ignore the Nazi-like evil inherent in those chants (and the homicidal actions that flowed from them) or to blame America and Israel for the hatred. But like the earlier Nazis, our generation’s fascists hate anything good, not merely Jews and Americans. And now the Damascus embassy of Norway, a leading anti-Israel “peace at any price” country, has been torched. And more and more Norwegians, and Brits, and French, and Dutch, and Swedes, and the rest of the European appeasers who blamed America for 9-11 and blamed Israel for Palestinian suicide bombings, are beginning to wonder whether there just might be something morally troubling within the Islamic world. more...

Hamas Leader: The Nation of Islam Will Sit at the Throne of the World (February 8, 2006) - Hamas Leader Khaled Mash’al at a Damascus Mosque: The Nation of Islam Will Sit at the Throne of the World and the West Will Be Full of Remorse - When It’s Too Late. 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. View this clip. “We Say to This West... By Allah, You Will Be defeated” Khaled Mash’al: “We apologize to our Prophet Muhammad, but we say to him: Oh Prophet of Allah, do not be saddened, your nation will be victorious.

“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.

“America will be defeated in Iraq. 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.” more...

Freedom of Speech Under Attack Lost Link (February 8, 2006) - Hindus consider it sacrilegious to eat meat from cows, so when a Danish supermarket ran a sale on beef and veal last fall, Hindus everywhere reacted with outrage. India recalled its ambassador to Copenhagen and Danish flags were burned in Calcutta, Bombay and Delhi. A Hindu mob in Sri Lanka severely beat two employees of a Danish-owned firm, and demonstrators in Nepal chanted: “War on Denmark! Death to Denmark!” In many places, shops selling Dansk china or Lego toys were attacked by rioters, and two Danish embassies were firebombed.

It didn’t happen, of course. Hindus may consider it odious to use cows as food but they do not resort to boycotts, threats and violence when non-Hindus eat hamburger or steak. They do not demand that everyone abide by the strictures of Hinduism and avoid words and deeds that Hindus might find upsetting. The same is true of Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Mormons: They don’t lash out in violence when their religious sensibilities are offended. They certainly don’t expect their beliefs to be immune from criticism, mockery or dissent. But radical Muslims do. The current uproar over cartoons of the Muslim Prophet Muhammad published in a Danish newspaper illustrates yet again the fascist intolerance that is at the heart of radical Islam. more...

Are We Witnessing the Rise of the Fourth Reich? (February 8, 2006) - Without a doubt, comparisons to Hitler have been overdone. It seems that when a writer disagrees with the policies of a sitting president, be he Republican or Democrat, there exists a ubiquitous temptation to compare him with the ignoble German leader. Some will no doubt charge this author with having succumbed to this temptation. Perhaps I have. However, as a student of both the Bible and history, I believe we in America are living in times that are eerily reminiscent of the days leading up to the rise of the Third Reich. If after reviewing this thesis, the reader wants to dismiss its conclusions as insipid and irrelevant, he or she is certainly free to do so. On the other hand, it would do the reader good to heed the words of George Santayana who said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” If America is truly flirting with any semblance of the fallacious and fallen Reich (which I believe it is), it is incumbent upon each and every true American (especially Christians) to renounce, reject, and repudiate such flirtations as early and as vociferously as possible! more...

Inside the Mosque: An Academy for Holy War (February 8, 2006) - Reda Hassaine can remember the moment he realised the Finsbury Park mosque was turning from a rather boring place of worship into an academy for violent jihad. It was when he saw young men sleeping on carpets inside the mosque, using its offices as bedrooms. They were treated to a gruesome form of night-time entertainment: “They would watch videos promoting violent jihad, after the last prayers of the day, after sunset.” Unknown to Abu Hamza and his followers, Mr Hassaine, an Algerian who had been praying at the mosque since 1996, began acting as an undercover agent for MI5. For two years from 1998 he passed information on activities in the mosque to his handlers. He told them about how the dress code of Hamza’s young acolytes changed. “You didn’t need to go to Afghanistan, inside the mosque were people wearing combat clothing, it was like being in an al-Qaida camp.” From the outside, the mosque looked unassuming, set in a residential street close to Arsenal’s Highbury ground. Inside, the atmosphere was turning increasingly fervent. “All the sermons by Hamza were to do with violent jihad, and he would say you can kill anyone who is an unbeliever.” more...

Castro Invites Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to Cuba (February 8, 2006) - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has accepted an invitation to visit Cuba from President Fidel Castro, in gratitude for Cuba's support of Iran’s nuclear program, the official Granma newspaper said on Tuesday. Ahmadinejad accepted the invitation in Tehran from Cuban Ambassador Felipe Perez Roque. During his visit, the Iranian leader will attend the September 11-16 Non-Aligned Summit in Havana, the daily said. On Saturday in Vienna, Cuba, Venezuela and Syria voted against a resolution of the International Atomic Energy Agency to refer Iran to the UN Security Council over a nuclear program the West suspects is weapons-oriented. The Iranian President recently publicly thanked Cuba for its “dignified and principled” position during the IAEA's special meeting, which ended in a 27-3 vote in favour of reporting Iran to the UN council. Separately, Granma announced that Iranian Parliament President Ghulam Ali Haddad Adel has accepted an invitation to visit Cuba from Cuba’s National Assembly. more...
