The nightmare scenario for Israel is troubling me more and more. The end of the Jewish state is all too thinkable.
Passover approaches for Jews everywhere. A celebration of waiting, and patience, and liberation. There is a prayer that ends with "next year in Jerusalem" and it has been recited for almost two thousand years. All the years the Jews were barely tolerated guests in other countries. All the years they were chased out of one country after another. The words spoke of a longing and need to finally settle in one place. A place from which no one could ever chase them. A place where they would no longer be guests.
It's still recited today even though Jews have exercised sovereignty in parts of Jerusalem for more than 60 years, and all of it for more than 40. This year, however, may be one of the last that "next year in Jerusalem" will be said at Jewish tables and in synagogues while there still are Jews in Jerusalem.
I am haunted by a vision that soon the prayer will revert to the same lament it was since the year 70, when the Romans threw the Jews out of Jerusalem and razed the city.
It seems clear as can be. You'd have to be a fool, willfully blind, an American Jew even, not to see it.
Israel has no other options. If there is to be an Israel two years from now, it must flatten the Iranian nuclear program immediately.
I'm afraid, terrified, that it is already too late. Time has run out. The end of the Jewish state is closing in. And there is nothing that can be done to save it. Thoughts will all too soon turn to saving and resettling the six million Jews

It’s too late to stop the Iranians from getting the bomb. The world obviously doesn’t believe Iran is a threat with nuclear weapons or action would have already been taken. The Iranians now have enough of the knowledge and the infrastructure to create a bomb, and have had more than enough time to disperse it and hide it deep within the earth. America obviously won’t take action, and even if the Israelis bomb them, they’ll never be able to stop the program.
Israel has, in effect, been hung out to dry by the world community and is completely on its own to face the most serious threat to its existence its ever had. May God be with them.
Glad you liked the post
You need to check out Glenn Beck, and I will add my support to those who vet Neil Cavuto and Greta Susteren (who has turned out to be a surprise in this regard).
THE SECOND COMING
by: W. B. Yeats (1865-1939)
TURNING and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in the sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
The writer mirrors my certainty about 0bama's response to Israels's request for overflight.
It was too late last fall, after the last vote was tallied.
To be fair, I believe that President Bush's concerns were the safety of our American troops in Iraq, whom I believe he loves deeply. That was his motivation for refusing, if it is true as reports have it, that he was approached for overflight permission by the Israelis.
0bama's motivations are different; he is in fealty to his Muslim masters.
If Netahyahu had been elected prior to President Bush's leaving office, I can't help but believe that something else would have been worked out; I think Olmert didn't care enough.
The author's scenario affirms my gut feeling, and then some.
I can see it happening just as he lays it out here.
Unless there is Divine Intervention, for which I pray.
Back in October of last year, I sent that poem to many friends and acquaintances as a commentary on the upcoming election.
I may had even posted it a time or two on FR.
In general I was told (except by my good FRiend Salamander - gifted with Second Sight) that I was reading too much in things, that I was paranoid etc. You know the drill, I’m sure.
Time is telling the tale.
The Yeats poem is, if anything, an understatement.
Thank you for posting this. Very interesting.
The closer it gets to the end time prophecies, the closer G!d wants to see all our knees tremble. In His timing, in His timing, He has not nor never will the land of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Truly, one of the greatest poems ever written, by the great non-denominational mystic, William Butler Yeats.
Ouch!
How does this work?
Well, if Islam succeeds in getting “its land” back, maybe we need to get OUR land back too???
So, let's do an internet network with real conservatives. Forget 210 channels of infomercials. Just log in conservative net.com or whatever and become informed. Cable/satellite has been a huge disappointment. Just hours of empty content and leftist indoctrination.
Think of how much time you spend on the net versus TV...
I think we’d be importing six million more Democrats...
There’s a lot of time to kill in a 24 hour newsday.
Perhaps run-runs of the “Rifleman” during the second half of the hour.
I would like to believe that, but they overwhelmingly voted for 0bama.
Exactly...they commit suicide by voting for Democrats...
