Games in the Game
Once the shooting phase of operation “creating Lebanon” subsided, a remarkably varied, noxious and alarming cast of characters began descending upon Israel and America to accelerate the next phase of operation “crush the Jews.” A main feature of these surgical strikes is to create another jihadist state next to the Jewish ghetto demarked by the Road Map and its “security fence.”
The big wheels keep on turning… Read on and we will briefly examine the assault.
Mr. Mohammed Khatami, former President of Iran has been touring America and saying things meant to sound wonderful to most news grazers. Two days after applying for his visa he was here deploring 9/11. “It was a crime because civilians were killed and because it was done in the name of Islam,” he said. Those who struck the WTC, he asserted, “are not Muslims and will not go to heaven.”
We can assume this visit was choreographed with the State Department. Whoever is casting these characters wants to brighten the image called “Iran” for presentation to the world community. As for the specifics of Khatami’s remarks, President Bush himself said (June 2003) that “Islam is a religion of peace,” so there.
This bit of theatrics has two important purposes: 
Khatami, first, Khatami, a head of Shiite nation has intensified the already fierce war of invective and blood between the Sunni (al Qaeda, Hamas, Islamic Jihad) and Shiite (Iran-Hizballah) branches of Islamic world conquest. The 9/11 attacks were perpetrated by Al Qaeda (with close links to the House of Saud, Taliban, Pakistan, and the CIA via its Inter-Service Intelligence Agency); denouncing them as infidels and terrorists kills several Sunni birds with one rhetorical stone. Khatami vilifies and isolates al Qaeda and the Saudis, thus boosting his own nation’s intra-Islamic standing. He rehabilitates Iran in America and the West and strengthens his credentials as a “moderate” that duly will be hailed by the western media.
And the State Department and NSC show the Saudis that they have many ways to whittle down their influence and the stability of their kingdom.
The fact that Khatami superintended the Iranian long range missile and uranium enrichment programs has been hushed to a few statements by marginal groups including, at this point, President Bush’s spokesman Scott McClellan. In America the State Department and its CIA agents rule… Anyone who deals with America should remember this.
Iran is “a great country” after all, just like the French PM says, and “a great force for stability in the region.” Complaints about current President Ahmadinejad’s reiterated calls to obliterate Israel were submerged by Khatami decrying the holocaust as “the crime of Nazism” and “an undoubted historical fact.” Thanks. He thus again outflanked the Saudis and deflected attention from Iran’s unchanged genocidal intentions toward Israel.
Other recent moves in the grand game suggest that Iran’s rage for Armageddon reflects not only the hard-wired ethos of Islam but a factor in the plans of both the Vatican–EU and the Anglo-American blocks to crush Israel into complete vassalage. As such Iran’s vehemence can and is modulated to suit the larger purpose: alienation of the Jewish heart land and holy sites.
To wit: several days ago, Gerry Adams of Sinn Fein and the Irish Republican Army, long time allies of the PLO descended upon Arab-occupied central Israel declaring that it was “essential to expedite the Road Map.” This process, also known as Oslo, known earlier as the “Palestine Interim Self-Government Agreement” hatched by the Vatican with the help of traitors in Israel’s Foreign Ministry requires the retreat of Israel to the 1949 armistice borders, the division of Jerusalem and its policing by UN forces.
Like Khatami, Mr. Adams continues to rehabilitate himself as a letter-carrier for the ‘A’ team. Sure enough, at week’s end, like a hound following the stink of a fox, British PM Tony Blair arrived with the same message. Collaborating wholly with the team, PM Olmert asserted, “I am ready to work closely with the Chairman of the PA, [Mahmoud] Abbas to implement the Road Map…” After his Lebanon debacle Olmert had been repeating that his “convergence” (a.k.a. “realignment”) plan, code for the Road Map “was not relevant at this time.” I warned that he would change his mind once he was pressed or when a semblance of Israel’s deterrence was restored. Both are in the works and the main game is back on its tracks.
In May 2005, President Bush lauded Abbas as a “moderate” and “a man of courage.” For forty years Abbas- Abu Mazen was right-hand man to Arafat and the organizer of the murder of hundreds of Israeli children and adult civilians, for example at the school in Ma’alot. Perhaps, for the record, Mr. Khatami would condemn him, too; a pity no one asked him.
As for the arm-twisting of puppet Olmert, various indictments are hovering, for cronyism and for accepting fountain pens from various foreign businessmen and politicians. Nearly every Cabinet Minister in the Knesset, nay, in most parliaments, is guilty of cronyism. As for the pens, this is a classic instance of trivial matters distracting attention from grave ones. Rather than oust Olmert for serving foreign powers, for bungling a war, accepting a lethal ceasefire, or for the assault he ordered on Jews at Amona he is threatened with indictments for handsomely profiting on the sale of an apartment and for accepting pens.
Indict, convict and remove him by all means, after citing and charging him for treason. But we are dreaming. The reason the judicial establishment is nipping him, probably at the instigation of Shimon Peres, creator and perennial master of Israel’s Foreign Ministry and true power, in Israel, behind Labor, Kadima and Oslo, is to ensure that he continues to toe the Road Map line; the same methods were applied, successfully to Ariel Sharon.
Like the State Department in the US, the Israeli Foreign Ministry is a profoundly cancerous organ. Yediot Achronot’s ynetnews.com reported that early in the conflict with Iran-Hizballah, a Syrian agent in Romania offered himself to the Mossad in exchange for extradition to Israel. Omer Haitim, jailed for various offenses in Romania had data on Syria and Hizballah so this should have been a major asset. But the Foreign Ministry, who fielded the offer from Haitim’s attorney, refused to pass his offer to Mossad. For the record, the Mossad is outraged and the Foreign Ministry “vexed,” but it’s too late.
The scandals of the Amona-Hizballah administration are numerous and varied enough to immobilize critics. With the help of the media they probably will succeed.
The rebuilding of Olmert’s face and of the image of Israel’s deterrence is being done partly through the Asad family that runs “Syria.” As Adams and Blair pounced and Khatami flounced around America, Bashir Asad stopped talking about a “Syrian Hizballah” to re-take the Golan and compliantly agreed to accept UN forces on the ‘border’ between his artificial state and the artificial state of “Lebanon.” Since the UN “interim [sic] force in Lebanon” is twenty-five years interim and counting, has permitted smuggling of thousands of rockets and mountains of other munitions from Syria, has videotaped and then suppressed information about the abduction of Israeli soldiers we should understand the feed-the-media and gull-the-public aspect of this bloody farce.
At the same time, Israeli government forces are talking about the need to fight Syria. The comments are hollow: they should have attacked and destroyed the “Syrian” armed forces early in the Hizballah conflict but did not. But the talk proceeds because the Olmert-Kadima image must be rebuilt so they can continue with “the Road Map” to a Judenrein Judea and Samaria.
That leads to Col. Yuval Bazak, commander of the Shomron Brigade of the IDF. In a highly publicized interview, this hack nattered about things obvious, horrific and misleading. He explained at great length the obvious fact that an enemy cannot be fought by standing guard duty in front of him but that the terrain must be invested in depth and from many angles; precisely what Israel did not do in the conflict. We already know why: Major General Yaakov Amidror, Deputy Chief of IDF Intelligence announced six weeks ago that it was “political arrangements with the international community” that “let Hizballah strike first.” But the implications of that fact are drifting away as apparently is the fact that the Olmert-Peres-Peretz team hamstrung the IDF when it sought to act in the nation’s interest.
Bazak added that it was foolish to treat Hizballah as if Israel had signed a treaty with it. This seeming banality actually is a warning about him: if Israel had a treaty with Hizballah, as they have so many agreements with the PLO, he implied that it would be okay to face them with border guards alone. Be warned of the next stage of the “phased plan” to destroy Israel. This fellow’s mug is that of a fifth-rate apparatchik and that’s precisely why he’s being highlighted as a new “reformist” addition to the General Staff. He’s a fraud. In similar spirit he declared that the IDF’s main error “was to be friendly with the [Jewish] settlers.” Be warned.
This comment is the essence of Oslo, post-Zionism and epitomizes the Labor Party’s death grip on the nation. Bazak echoes Olmert who a few months ago was openly asserting that the Jews in Judea and Samaria were Israel’s main enemy, more than Hizballah, more than Hamas who dominates the “government” headed by Mr. Abbas-Mazen with whom Olmert is “eager to work closely to implement the Road Map…”
Games, games: “fraud and violence…” This is what the moshiach will suppress (psalm 72, the last prayer of David).
Two items conclude this overview of the current maneuvering of Israel into the New Middle East over which Oceania, the Holy Roman Empire and Jihad will fight to their never-ending profit, the impoverishment of their inhabitants and the burying of Jews and Judaism…
Al Qaeda has a recent item on one of its web sites quoting sura 5:20 of the Koran in which Mahomet orders, “Jews, settle your land as Allah [sic] commanded you.” AQ explains that it attacks the Jews because they have rejected Allah’s gift to them of the land. This is an interesting lesson for all concerned: Labor ‘Zionists’ have many times rejected their birthright and defined the truest and bravest of Jews as the enemy. So by its own logic, Al Qaeda should join the settlers in destroying the perennial leftwing elites of Israel. Support for this could be found in the Koran. But don’t hold your breath: politics will trump Scripture though there is a small opening here. Both the Shiite and Sunni camps have given the Jews some tactical opportunities: be sure that Peres-Kadima will shut the door on them like the Giant Warden in Kafka’s “Parable of the Law.”
Lastly, an addendum to our essays on the Torah and topography of the Promised Land and to the piece on earthquakes and the shattering of klippot: at 7:58 on the morning of Shabbat (Elul 16; September 09) the earth quaked beneath central Israel. At 4.4 on the Richter scale, it was the largest in the series that began August 20, the date of the ceasefire-surrender. It was centered near Shechem – Elon Moreh where Avraham built the first altar to the Creator (Genesis 12:7) and where Joseph and Joshua are buried. Tremors were felt throughout central Israel, from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv on the coast. The previous quake nearest this in magnitude (4.0) was on Rosh Hashanah last year (2005) after the expulsion of Jews from Gush Katif and northern Shomron. This is pertinent: Rosh Hashanah is inaugurated with shofar blasts and the call to Israel to return to the Eternal One Who chose them in an everlasting covenant, and Who vowed that He would never forgive those who scattered them or divided up their land… (Joel 3).
Every item described above is a shofar cry…
The prophetic reading (haftora) for the Torah portion on the day of the recent quake is chapter 60 of Isaiah that calls Israel to “arise! Shine! Although darkness may cover the earth, and dense cloud the kingdoms upon you Hashem will shine and His glory will be seen upon you. Nations will walk by your light and kings by the brilliance of your radiance…in its time, I will hasten it.”
“In its time” (in due course, slowly) means Gerry Adams, Tony Blair, Olmert and Abu Mazen. A hastened redemption will sweep such characters from the stage.
As always, the Torah seems to have been written just minutes ago for it is the eternal present of the One Who “put His words in every Jewish mouth.” The nations are running and pushing into deeper darkness, thrilled by the road they see as their grand entrance to the throne of the end-times. It’s always darkest before dawn and Zechariah, speaking of the last battle tells us that “it will be a unique day neither day nor night but towards evening, there will be light.” Light is urgently needed amid the gathering darkness of the malicious and foolish games that target Israel.
If only the Jewish people, the nation of Israel would awaken. “Five of them would pursue a hundred, and one hundred of them would cause ten thousand to flee…” A generation ago it happened; it needs to happen again.
