" ( In the End Times ) You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows." ( Matthew 24:6-8 )

Ask Westerners and you'll hear how marginal they are: President Bush says bin Laden represents a 'fringe form of Islamic extremism . . . rejected by Muslim scholars and the vast majority of Muslim clerics.' American specialists on Islam agree. 'Osama bin Laden is to Islam like Timothy McVeigh is to Christianity,' says Mark Juergensmeyer of the University of California. Karen Armstrong, author of a bestselling book about Islam, reports that the 'vast majority of Muslims . . . are horrified by the atrocity of September 11.' All are lying. Muslims love Osama bin Laden

According to the plan Sharon hopes to show U.S. President George Bush next month in Washington, The state would be established even before its final borders are drawn [ Before?

Shimon Peres returned yesterday to Israel from a trip to the U.S. with many impressions. 'The Americans have moved from one era to another,' concluded Peres.

Not too long after their arrival, IDF troops moved in and evacuated the Hevron Jews that moved into an abandoned home on Givat Shalhevet Friday morning [ Jews displaced by Jews from the land given to them by God around 4,000 years ago.

Evidently, killing Israelis isn't terrorism from Washington's perspective. Israel responded to the incredible chutzpah of the U.S. demand by pointing out that, 'Israel, like all democratic countries, is realizing its rights to self-defense and to protect the lives of its citizens.' Sharon neatly paraphrased the exact argument made by President Bush when the president announced our own war on terrorism

It's dangerous to be an America's ally. Bush proposes that for Israel, self-defense to assure its survival is unreasonable. Perhaps the State Department would like everyone in Israel to shoot themselves now, to save Palestinians the trouble

The Americans, amidst United Nations reports that they had bombed a hospital in Afghanistan, demand that Israel withdraw [ Isn't this situation intolerable? Bush and Powell have set us on a bad course toward a showdown against Israel, of which we are not going to come out fine. God will defend Israel and we'll get destroyed by our enemies –who are many. Anybody continues thinking that the 'Skull -" -Bones' -lifetime -member and New -World -Ordder -monger Bush, is a Christian? ]

Bush: Our war comes first. He told Foreign Minister Shimon Peres his impression that Israel is launching a full-scale war on the PA is impeding his ability to carry out the war on terrorism [ This is the most insolent piece of arrogancy on record in the history of humanity. After all, he could have ended victoriously the war in Afghanistan in one day, but he hasn't in almost a month because that is not his real purpose. Getting countries used to be and act together, as a conditioning for the New World Order, that is his real purpose; like it was his father, reason why he left Saddam Hussein in power ]

Israel last night rejected an 'unprecedentedly vehement' U.S. demand for the "immediate" withdrawal of Israel Defense Forces troops from Palestinian -controlled territories [ Since when is Israel our slave to obey blindly to our most inmoral dictates? Why do we have the right to retaliate against our enemies, but Israel does not have the same right? Until the world will handle things with so maddening injustice...?

There are some people who simply dislike Jews, due to the Jews' insistence on being different. But their argument is really with the God of Israel, who had commanded that very difference and distinctiveness for this nation at Mt. Sinai.
