A gaping hole in a Haifa restaurant's roof shows the devastating power of the latest Palestinian suicide bombing yesterday.

April 1, 2002 -- JERUSALEM - Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was on the phone Saturday night with Secretary of State Colin Powell after yet another Palestinian suicide bombing, this one striking a chic cafe in Tel Aviv and wounding 24 innocents.

Being the "dumb" American that I am, I hope someone here can answer a question I have about Israel. Isn't it warm down there? I have always thought of it being desert and warm much like California or even Mexico. For some reason I never thought that people living there would even need a coat, much less a heavy coat, or one big enough to hide 20 pounds of explosives. It just seems to me that seeing a person dressed in such a fashion would set alarm bells off.

Then again, I suppose that some do still where the big flowing robes and you can hide a lot under that much cloth.

But he also told, with some sadness, how European leaders had called him Saturday, asking whether Arafat has enough food, water and electricity. They even wanted to know whether he is confined to two or three rooms.

"Better they should ask what happened to the two orphaned girls who lost their parents, their pregnant mother and their father, when they were killed by a Palestinian suicide bomber in the heart of Jerusalem 10 days ago," Sharon told Powell, according to a source.

"This is the important questions for us Israelis - not how many rooms Arafat has."

He should retort: "Arafat is a lot more comfotable than the Jews in European concentration camps were during WWII."

With pinheads like that in charge of the European Union, I think we have little to fear from them economically. Or in any other capacity for that matter!

Ariel Sharon wonders how the results of Oslo could have manifested a lack of concern for Jews. Let's make things simple for him and ask him to put on a thinking cap: Oslo has nazified the Arabs and it has nazified world opinion. The conclusion to be drawn is the mass murder of Jewish children is permissible, genocide of Jews is OK, suicide bombings are a form of resistance against aggression and occupation. On the other hand all acts of Israeli self-defense are immoral and illegal. Just ask the Europeans. Moreover Israel still refuses to destroy the PA and exterminate the terrorist leadership. How many more dead Jews will it take for Israel's leadership to finally begin REALLY dealing with Arafat and et al. as the ENEMY by KILLING them? It obviously is going to have to more than 120 dead Jews a month. Imagine dear friends the number of dead Jews it will take to get the beautiful Israelis represented by the Meretz types to finally get around to killing PLO Nazis. And as long as Israel turns the other cheek like the only Christian country on earth, Sharon should expect Arab and Eurotrash reaction to be even more stridently nazi.

Or for that matter, the refugees in the Sabra and Chatilla camps in 1982, after he let the Phalangists in and let them run wild.

Oh, stop being so self centered Mr. Sharon. I suppose just because europe shows no concern what so ever about the safety of your citizens or the sanctity of your borders yet dotes over Arafat and his fine Palis, you’re going to insinuate that there’s an anti-semitic undertone to europe.

And another thing- why is the issue that these suicide bombers freedom fighters, never seem to survive the attack incident not asked? I have to suspect that Israeli authorities aren’t giving the best medical attention they could to saving the Pali victim...

If he can not see this:

Monday April 1st, 2002

If only Israel would turn to Jeshua.


Little Israel, with her 5,842,000 men, women and children sitting on 8,019 square miles of land, is once again about ready to go to war with the muslim hordes. These decedents of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Hivites, and the Perizzites, the Girgashites, the Amorites, and the Jebusites, and a few other ites, number in the neighborhood of 203,245,000 with land masses exceeding 2,165,250 square miles. Yet the muslim Arab hordes want little Israel to give up more of her land so that the Palestinians, who are really nothing more than drifting, land squatting, troublemakers, will have a legal place to squat.

You have to wonder, if the arabs are really so concerned about these Palestinians, why don't they offer them a little land in one of their countries? Could it be that what the rest of the Arab world really wants is for Israel to simply eliminate the Palestinians? But instead of speculating on what the Arab hordes really want, let us look in the Holy Scriptures and see how God would help little Israel, if only little Israel would turn to Him. If little Israel would turn to Him, His Word and His word instead of reading their commentaries written by men not of God. For if they would turn back to God, if they would turn to the Messiah, Yeshua, what He did for them 3409 years ago, I'm sure He would do again.

Look and see what God did for little Israel when they listened to and obeyed Him.

Joshua Chapter Three

1. And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they removed from Shittim, and came to (the river)Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there before they passed over.

2 And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the host; 3 and they commanded the people, saying, "When ye see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests, the Levites, bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place, and go after it. 4 Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits (3,000 feet) by measure: come not near unto it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed this way heretofore."

5 And Joshua said unto the people, "Sanctify yourselves: for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you."

6 And Joshua spake unto the priests, saying, "Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people." And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.

7 And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee. 8 And thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye are come to the brink of the water of Jordan, ye shall stand still in Jordan.

9 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither, and hear the words of the LORD your God. 10 And Joshua said, "Hereby ye shall know that the living God is among you, and that He will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites. 11 Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passeth over before you into Jordan. 12 Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, out of every tribe a man. 13 And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the LORD, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan, that the waters of Jordan shall be cut off from the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand upon an heap."

14 And it came to pass, when the people removed from their tents, to pass over Jordan, and the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people; 15 and as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water, (for Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the time of harvest,) 16 that the waters which came down from above (up stream) stood and rose up upon an heap very far from the city Adam, that is beside Zaretan: and those that came down toward the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, failed, and were cut off: and the people passed over right against (across from) Jericho.

17 And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people were passed clean over Jordan. (Joshua 3: ACP/KJV)

Why is it that little Israel seems to insist on doing it on their own? But, while we know that they will not turn to Him now, for we know from His holy word that they will not turn till the seven years called Tribulation, we also know that God will not let the muslim hordes win. So, if you are a betting man, which you had best not be, it is safe to bet on little Israel.

Kind of strange, they, the jews, just celebrated what they call the Passover, and they still have their collective heads in the sand, they like so many others, would rather read commentary, writings by so called scholars, than the written word of God Almighty Himself. No wonder they are afraid to speak His name.

You know, when you read how the Lord helps those who rely on Him, don't you wish, we as a nation would turn back to Him? Don't you wish Israel would join with us in seeking His face and doing His will?

Oh Lord Yeshua, take pity on Your people in America and Israel, get our and their attention Lord, help us and them to understand that You have come and that so many of us and them are just looking in all the wrong places. Help us all to understand Lord that unless we turn to you, that we are no better and will spend eternity in the lake of fire with those self same muslims we in the USA and Israel are fighting and killing. Lord help them and us I ask.

Amen.

How will he ever see our concern for him and his nation?

The fact is this is 2002. What you and your bloody buddy dog are yapping about is called a *grudge*.

There are plenty of grudges for those willing to look for them, and there's plenty of cr@p in the world too. Y'all being the dogs your are do have a taste for it, don't you now?

Sharon should read the fable "the boy who cried wolf" for an answer.

That is wrong. That may be what they say, but what they really want is the extermination of every Jewish man, woman and child...period. It has never been about the land.
