WWW.NEWSMAX.COM, September 30, 2012, reports, "Kissinger: No More Israel In 10 Years - New York Post columnist Cindy Adams asserts that former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger predicted the end of the state of Israel within 10 years. Adams does not specify when or where Kissinger made that statement. But she writes: "Middle East horror. Democratic Party dissing Jerusalem. DC's anti-Israel mentality. Obama, busy raising reelection funds, no time for beleaguered Netanyahu. The Oval Office attitude versus the Red Line. Iran's oath to destroy our only friend in that part of the world. "Reported to me, Henry Kissinger has stated - and I quote the statement word for word: 'In 10 years, there will be no more Israel.' "I repeat: 'In 10 years, there will be no more Israel.'"
I, your author, have listened with great interest to the speeches of two men delivered at the United Nations this past week of September 23, 2012. Only one spoke words that in my mind and heart reflect true leadership in and for the free world. That man was Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
I then heard an interview with a retired United States four-star general (Sorry, I don't recall his name) but, I heard him none the less. The comment he made was that Islamic terrorists, extremists, are bent on eliminating all U.S. influence in the middle east. That is their goal. He also spoke of the "Cold War" and how Russia responded to certain inhalation if they continued to pursue a path of nuclear armament. That worked because they were atheistic communists. The terror of the middle east today is that the Jihadists glorify death. They care nothing about life as we do or as Israel does. Ours is a culture of life and liberty. A terrorist Jihadists culture honors destruction, death, and an apocalyptic radical religious end that will bring them ultimate victory.
As the U.S. continues its troop withdrawal from that region of the world, as we stand aloof from Israel, and as Iran continues it's boisterous threat to wipe Israel off the face of the map, her demise comes closer and closer to the possibility that she may not exist at some point in the future.
Do I know that for a fact? No I don't. Here is what I do know. God's word teaches clearly that those who love Israel and pray for her will prosper (Psm 122:6-9). Those who will bless Him who blesses Jerusalem (Psm 147:2,12-20) will be on the right side of history.
As I listened to the speeches of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Barack Obama this is what I heard. Obama never once referred to the "9/11" attack on Benghazi that left U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans dead as terrorism. He only mentioned that these were "killers and dissidents" who need to be "hunted down and brought to justice"; as if this were a street killing somewhere in the United States. He said the attacks were a spontaneous reaction to a 15 minute video on YouTube that insulted the Muslim world. And who has been arrested since the attacks? The creator of the video, under the guise of a "parole violation." So much for free speech.
Netanyahu on the other hand spoke of the threat of terrorism in the middle east and other parts of the world. He spoke clearly and he spoke succinctly of the threat in Iran who continues its march to acquire a nuclear weapon. He put forward a "red line" strategy to prohibit Iran from gaining nuclear weapons. Much of which our administration has ignored.
Any American citizen could listen to these two speeches and tell which one deals with reality and which one is full of hapless rhetoric. Obama really believes his Muslim roots will bring the whole world together as the, I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing, song says, "in perfect harmony." But this strategy has not worked, is not working, and will not work with those who only seek our elimination. This strategy will only weaken our nation. Our resolve must be to stand with Israel and to move with certainty against any and all aggressors who come against the free world. Any straight thinking American citizen can see that. But I don't think Mr. Obama believes that common citizens can think.
If you have any doubt that we may see an Israeli, and perhaps our own, demise by the willful acts of terrorists, I encourage you to read my September 28, 2012 post, While We Sit In Silence. Here is a quote from that post:
"Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Rwandans, Serbs, Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians, and many others have died because the peaceful majority did not speak up until it was too late. As for us who watch it all unfold, we must pay attention to the only group that counts - the fanatics who threaten our way of life."
