An Israeli woman leans over a grave as she grieves in the Gush Katif cemetery (which will be dug up). Hundreds of resident of the settlement bloc of Gush Katif came to the cemetery to pray one last time before the Israeli government begins forcebily removing them from the Gaza Strip
Today and this week marks what will soon begin a new era, not an era on the level of "Cold War, Post-Cold War, Post-9/11" but a new era in which only one other distintion has ever been made. Before and after Christ. We now decend slowly into a terrible time of terrorism, fear, and power grabbing. Before it is all over with, fear not, Israel will decide that this experiment in Palestianian statehood has failed (at the cost of hundreds of lives)and they will take iron-fisted control of Gaza, wiping out the terror organizations that ARE there and WILL SOON BE there. This explusion falling on the 9th of Av is so elegant that this couldn't be a book written by any other than God himself. Also, the Jews praying and pleading at the Wailing Wall, their cries will not go unheeded. Even as a Christian, I know that my God and my Savior Jesus Christ will not let these people of the same God suffer.
In the coming days, things cannot be predicted to go well for the IDF planned evacuation. It may be as bad as riots that leave dozens dead, and the IDF shamed for decades. Or it may be as bad as a suprise terrorist attack, in the form of an army of sucide bombers, gunmen, and pure hatred that pours in during the chaos that will be Wednesday. They will take advantage of the situation and show the world what they used the recent 6 month "lull" in fighting for. To prepare for a jihad reminicint of the so called "Golden Days" of Islam.
Of course, this is just pure speculation, long hours at home with nothing to do tonight, and an odd sense of "oh shits gonna hit the fan this time." but in the end, no matter the words i just said...it simlpy comes down to: Believe in Him.
That is just downright pathetic! And sad. All I can think of when reading these posts about how wonderful it is that these people are being "relocated", is the mob cheering for the terrorists on 9-11. These are the people that this land is being given to?
I'd burn my house, fields, and poison the water supply. And I'd leave Israel. I do not understand this!
