Middle East Bloody Endgame

Describing the barbarity of a Civil War prison, Benson Lossing wrote in 1868, "Seventeen feet from the inner stockade was the 'dead-line,' over which no man could pass and live." Lossing could well be describing the inevitable bloody endgame of the Israeli-Iran conflict during the final twenty-four months of the Obama administration. Both sides are acutely aware of this "dead-line," with Iran more so than Israel. Iran's "dead-line" awareness reaches back 31 years to the release of 52 American hostages held for 444 days, just twenty minutes after Ronald Reagan was sworn in as president (and after Jimmy Carter previously agreed to release $8 billion in frozen Iranian assets).

The slow, simmering buildup to war between the Iranian proxies of Hamas and Hezb'allah and Israel continues to ramp up in rhetoric, intensity, and violence. Here are some examples of news items that are cheerfully hidden by the usual propaganda organs of our state-controlled media.

From Israel Today Magazine, we find this astonishing bit of hubris from our PA "partners."

"The Palestinian leadership on Wednesday warned Israel against any large-scale military response to the escalating terrorist rocket fire from the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip.

Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas told a visiting European diplomat that "any new Israeli aggression would put the entire peace process in real danger." He did not address the fact that it was the Palestinians of Gaza who fired first.

Chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat also warned against Israeli "aggression," and even blamed Israel for the increased tensions along the Gaza border.

Palestinian terrorists operating out of the Gaza Strip have fired dozens of rockets and mortar shells into southern Israel over the past two weeks."

Another news item you won't hear about from Katie Couric, also from Israel Today Magazine:

The "peace process" is the danger. But the world is too blind to see it because they scoff at and reject the Word of God.

That is so true. I am looking forward to the day when there is no more strife and Islam is confined to the Lake of Fire along with its originator.

What peace process are we talking about? What progress has been made in the last 30 years? There is no peace process.

There is only Israel gradually settling on conquered lands and Palestinians and their supporters continuing to wage war against Israel as they have done for 60 years. Let's at least call it for what it is.........a war process.
