Each week we provide you with one of the week's most thought provoking articles. | |  Willful Deafness about the Real Meaning of Two States
By Peggy Shapiro, Americanthinker.com
The Palestinians, Saudis and Egyptians propose two states. The U.N., E.U., U.S. demand two states. Most Israeli governments have agreed to the concept of two states. Other than Israel, none of the proponents of a "two-state" solution ever planned for one of the states to be the Jewish State of Israel.
Just the thought of such a state is an insult to those who live in all-Muslim countries. On Sunday, when Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin
Netanyahu offered a Palestinian State if there is recognition of a Israel as the national homeland for Jewish people, a senior Palestinian negotiator responded, "Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu can wait a thousand years without finding a single Palestinian prepared to accept his offer." The offer of living side-by-side in peace and tolerance is too offensive to discuss even for the "moderate" Arab Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak said the demand that Palestinians recognize Israel as the state of the Jewish people "schuttles [sic] the chances for peace."

Each week we take a meaningful quote, tie it to scripture, and leave you with a take-home. | |  Rabbi Shmuley Boteach Said: “There's a storm coming. It will pit a well-organized community of substantial resources but also substantial insecurity - particularly when it comes to charges of dual loyalty - against a popular president of considerable eloquence but misguided policies that identify Israeli settlements as the main obstacle to Middle East peace. The inevitable clash will separate sunshine Jewish patriots who back Israel when convenient against those who stand with Israel even when it means losing their invitation to the White House Hanukka party. … Any return to the 1967 borders, which is what Obama's attack on the settlements represents, is simply suicide for Israel. The borders are utterly indefensible. The Arabs know it, which is why they press for it. Had Israel not dismantled its settlements in Gush Katif, Gaza would not have become a terrorist state ruled by Hamas, an organization that kills even more Palestinians than it does Israelis.”
God Says: “This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live.”… “But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose yourselves this day whom you will serve.” … “How long will you waver between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him.” But the people said nothing.” (Deuteronomy 30:19; Joshua 24:15; I Kings 18:21).
The Jerusalem Connection Says: If the Jews follow Obama they are following Baal and the results are predictable. If they say nothing, Baal will have his way initially, but then the end is once again a predicable disaster. Israel needs help and there is only one way to get it. It’s not by military, political or economic help. The prophet has already given fair warning, “Not by might nor by power but by my Spirit, says the LORD of hosts.” (Zechariah 4:6). Rabbi Boteach is right, a storm is coming that will separate the Jewish people. And those who survive will be those who cry out to God, “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!” (Psalm 118:26).
