A Time To Pray!


19 May 2011  A call to pray!
            Today President Obama made a speech in which he called upon Israel to negotiate with the Palestinian Authority to create a Palestinian State with pre-1967 borders.  That may not bother most people very much who will, with a shrug and a “so-what’s-the-big-deal” attitude, go uncaringly about their day.
            Let me tell you what the big deal is.  Pre-1967 borders are indefensible for Israel.
What does that mean?  Look at any map of Israel.  Her true Eastern border since the war of 1967 runs down the middle of the Sea of Galilee, through the Jordan River, and through the middle of the Dead Sea continuing straight South to Eilat.  But as you look at that map, you will notice a big chunk taken out and marked “Occupied Territory”.  If Israel were to give all that territory to a Palestinian State, the State of Israel would only be nine miles wide a few miles North of Tel Aviv.  And all of the Old City of Jerusalem would be in Palestinian hands.  For those of you who don’t know Israel’s history, Jews were forbidden access to the Western Wall in the Old City from 1948 until 1967 when Jordan was in control of the “West Bank” area.  Do you think a Palestinian coalition government with Hamas as a partner will continue to allow Jews access to the Old City to pray at the Western Wall?  Not on your life!  Hamas is committed to the total destruction of Israel and the elimination of not only the Jewish State, but the expulsion of all Jews from the land of Israel.
            I urge you, dear reader, to pray fervently for a change of heart in our President—that he will not pursue this path of destruction by pressuring Israel to return to pre-1967 borders.  Support any efforts to support Israel.  We may be on the brink of Joel 3:2.  More about that another day.
