Why Israel is the Middle East's Foremost Problem
American Thinker ^ | January 22nd, 2017 | William A. Levinson

The fact that Israel stands out head and shoulders above its neighbors cannot be attributed to better natural resources, because Israel has few of them.  It can be attributed only to the superiority of Judeo-Christian seeds over militant "Islamic" seeds, and this is something the militant "Islamic" leaders can no more tolerate than the D-minus performers can tolerate from their school's honor student.

Includes an interesting metaphor with seeds, and one with manure.

Islam

Islam is the number one problem in the Middle East.

Aside from the metaphors, I’m amazed at what the Jewish people of Israel have done with the land. While others were running things, it was a rocky desert. The Jewish people transformed it into a blossoming garden. They removed the rocks and infertile soil, fertilized it and planted many trees, farms and gardens. They invented new methods of creating clean water because of a lack of water supplies, and now are self-sufficient with water to the point of being able to export it. Meanwhile, the Arabs need to import foreign workers and western tech in order to get anything done, and cannot create anything on their own.

As my brother-in-law says, “Nothing of any importance was ever invented in hot climates”

“Arabs” are not the problem, Edom is.

Edom has been Jacob’s thorn in the flesh since the day that Jacob got the blessing that Esau disrespected.

This will get much worse this year due to the Jubilee, which will cause more of Israel’s land to be returned at Yom Kippur.

It will probably be full nuclear.

The fertilizer:

“Israel was obligated a total of $3.1B from the United States government in 2012, a decrease of less than one percent from last year’s aid ($3.1B).

The aid Israel was obligated is one of the highest amounts for all countries in the Middle East and North Africa (avg. $64.4M) and significantly higher than average for all countries in the world (avg. $25.9M).”

I lived in Israel in 1978-79. Our Kibbutz used dripper technology in the fields so that we could plant crops in sand. Water with chemicals were pumped into hoses which ran through the fields. Each hose was cut and a dripper was spliced into the hose. The dripper allowed a certain amount of water to drip onto the plant, minimizing evaporation. Before we started planting, we sterilized the sand by placing plastic wrap over the field.

I never saw so many peppers, onions and melons grown like this.

The Arabs are the tents of Edom
The fakestinians , that would be Edom
Their coat of arms is the golden eagle holding a banner with the colors of the 4 horseman .
King Herod the Edomite raised a golden eagle in the temple in Jerusalem and the priest who took it down because it was an abomination lost their heads it’s recorded by Josephus .
The biggest are the islamic but the ones that dare call themselves Christians and side against God plan for the nation of Israel are Edom too and they are a terrible witness for Christ that sow confusion because they do not know him (they are Arab first )
The Arabs that are true believers and stand up for Israel are not included because they have bought and paid for by the blood of the Lamb.

Things are lining up
It is a year of Jubilee :)

NO!

Arabs are descendants of Ismael.

Edom are part Hebrew, and part Ham.

They are the jealous cousins, sons of Esau.

Anyone that doesn’t keep Torah, and all the feasts, including Hanukkah, is not a believer.

That is what Yeshua and all of his apostles said.

Don’t like it? write your own bible; everyone is doing it.

I lived in Israel in 1978-79.

You have my admiration and respect. I've seen video documentaries on Israeli technology with drip irrigation and other methods to preserve water. You were there! Wow. Israel has been exporting this technology to the world, most notably here in California due to water restrictions placed on farmers. Shame on those who seek to destroy Israel and attempt to extinguish the inspiration and wonders that blossom from the Jewish peoples.

WRONG
they are all mixed up
all you have to do is read their Arabic and you will find
the fakestinans have plenty of Egyptians in there too

Open up your bible and read it
Esau mixed himself with Ismael

(Genesis 28:9) Then went Esau unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives which he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife.
