This article has a number of silly or erroneous points, but after reading it I decided that it must have come from Scrappleface or a similar source.

I can't imagine Benjamin Netanyahu including a New Testament citation in an article like this.

The foregoing comments by Benjamin Netanyahu were excerpted from his book published in 1993.

It is astonishing how the Western press has swallowed the PLO line that they are “the oppressed people struggling to be free,” that Israel is the aggressor, that forcing Israel to withdraw from its strategic defenses will bring peace, and that the survivors of the Holocaust are now the “bad guys.” Amazing.

Yet this is consistent with Biblical prophecy. Jerusalem is prophesied to be “ a cup of trembling” to all nations round about ... all that burden themselves with it will be torn to pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.”13

What are the “silly and erroneous points” you mention?

The article seems to me to be a rather accurate outline of events from 1938/39. The parallels with current events in the ME are not exact but the general trend of events is similar enough to the past events to show just how things might work out if the west and particularly America pulls a second Munich and abandons Israel. It should be noted, I think, that the result of Munich was almost 6 years of total war, most of Central and Eastern Europe in ruins and something like 40 million dead.

Anyone who thinks that the destruction of Israel will result in peace in the region is a fool. The destruction of Israel is but one step in the drive of militant Islam for domination first in the region then into Europe, India and beyond. The next fight would likely be on sectarian lines within Islam and result in disruption of oil supplies leading to economic turmoil - and heaven-only-knows what the fallout from that would be. Once a single power emerges as dominant it will be nuclear-armed and almost certainly driven by Islamic fanaticism.

Catastrophes like WWII come around like clockwork every century or so. They are entirely the result of stupidity, cowardice and short-sighted avarice on the part of the people charged with oversight of their nations and cultures.
I can easily see an American administration pulling the rug out from under Israel. Such a move would be fully justified and trumpeted by the MSM propaganda machine and while many would exclaim against it loudly (as they did in 1938) the majority will support the act or be indifferent to it. Until gas hits $10 a gallon as the region goes up in flames and the fire spreads into Europe and the rest of Asia. At that point reality, which has a nasty habit of intruding on fantasy, will have hit home. And the cost will be counted in trillions of dollars and millions of dead.
