Russia Warns Of "Dire Consequences" OF Mideast Tensions

Ezekiel 38.

Traditionally close to Arab countries and the Palestinians, Russia

Since the palies are blowing Russian emigres to bits, I wonder if the Russians are re-thinking their strategy concerning Israel

Arafat has sewn the wind, now he is reaping the whirlwind. Terrorists are great. Up to a point. They're supposed to heel when he says heel. But they ain't and he's got neither the ability nor the inclination to MAKE them heel.

Arafat = irrelevant

This article translates to the following - "We can't let Israel win." It's amazing how the superpowers think things are better with an everlasting stalemate. We need to let Israel have victory, and end this game. (I from this scriptures this won't happen, but the idea is nice.)

Exactly my thought, DJ. All we need is for the Antichrist to appear to find a way out of the Middle East morass - guaranteeing peace for Israel.....oh, was Bill Clinton recently seen over in the region? :-)

Are you expecting a big earthquake soon or something?

Israel should "renounce its policy, based exclusively on force, aiming to destroy the Palestinian Authority and weaken the position of its leaders," it said.

"Exclusively"? What was Camp David and Oslo about except calls to give up more land for peace? Arafat didn't even play along with his brothers when Israel gave up the Sinai to Egypt and neither did any other Arab country. For Oslo, Israel gave the Pals Palestinian autonomy so the Pals could prove whether they have a civilized nature. Arafat spit on Oslo and started up the Intifada.

Russia hasn't backed those cowards for a decade. That's why every time Yassar went to Russia for aid to declare independence, he's come back empty handed.

Could be, but rumor has it that there is a strong possibility of fire and brimstone showers over the mountains surrounding Israel.

Lenin is that you?

Correct me if i'm wrong but, i think israel could win with the pali's, wipe them off the face of the earth. It would be a temporary victory....because then world opinion would be solidly against them and THEN they would have to fight off the ENTIRE middle east (just the excuse they need to attack her....again)and possibly some western countries as well.....WWIII.....That would fulfill prophecy......possibly

GORBACHEV HAS LAUNCHED A POLITICAL OFFENSIVE: THE NEED TO EXPOSE 'HIS' STRATEGY AND COVERT OPERATIONS
'Somehow the Western media have an uncanny capacity to detect, expose and attack covert operations of the United States - but not those of the Soviet Union. Granted that apartheid in South Africa must be terminated, it is nevertheless still paramount to define the Communist strategic threat and to identify Soviet covert operations....Now that is is apparent that Gorbachev has launched a political offensive, one can expect the next logical step will be Communist covert action projects through their surrogate guerrilla movements against the South African regime, and against Israel by exploiting the Palestine issue.
Anti-American and anti-NATO campaigns will be stepped up in Europe. The essence of these covert operations is to attack the United States' system of alliances in Africa, the Middle East and Western Europe.
In order to accomplish the dissolution or sever weakening of NATO, the Soviets will exploit their coming economic reforms and manipulate the political opposition in Eastern Europe, particularly in Poland and East Germany...'

Your lies do not fool me and I'm going to do everything I can to make sure they don't fool anyone else either.

Israel just needs to send them to Jordan, which is the real Palestinian state.

Warning of possible war in Middle East, Annan says world must help end conflict
Annan addresses Security Council

21 February – Warning that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict risks sliding towards full-fledged war, the United Nations Secretary-General, Kofi Annan, today urged the UN Security Council to work with both sides in resolving their conflict.

Russia warned that escalating tension in the Middle East could have "dire and irreversible" consequences for the peoples of the region.

“The lack of mutual confidence between the two sides makes a third-party role essential,” Mr. Annan told the 15-member security body. “I truly believe that it is imperative for the Security Council and the wider international community to work in a concerted manner with the parties towards a just, lasting and comprehensive peaceful settlement of the conflict in the Middle East.”

In his brief yet blunt speech, the Secretary-General recounted the “grim” news from the Middle East, cautioning that “we are nearing the edge of the abyss.” With more than 60 people killed over the past week, violence threatened to escalate even further, he said. “Particularly alarming is the growing belief, among both Palestinians and Israelis, that there can be no negotiated solution to the conflict.”

It said in an official statement that Israel must stop using force against the Palestinians, who in their turn must refrain from any acts against the security of the Jewish state
Russia said the continuing unrest "may lead to dire and irreversible consequences for the true interests of all peoples, and for the fate of the peace process, in the Middle East."

The key interlinked problems, according to the Secretary-General, remained “occupation; security – the need to end violence including terrorism; and the economic deprivation and suffering.”

“Yet, even at this darkest of hours, there is still room for hope,” he added, recalling that both sides had agreed in principle on the Tenet understandings and the Mitchell Committee recommendations, which together defined an array of security, economic, and political measures that would have moved the parties back to the negotiating table. Acknowledging that those plans had not met with success, Mr. Annan called for full consideration of “imaginative new ideas.”

The statement emphasised Russia's attachment to the Mitchell plan for a Mideast settlement, calling in the first instance for "a ceasefire, stabilisation, the restoring of confidence and holding of negotiations" between Israel and the Palestinians."

While stressing the need to immediately reduce the violence, the Secretary-General said he had “become more and more convinced that trying to resolve the security problem on its own cannot work.” Instead, he argued, security must be addressed alongside key political issues, particularly the question of land, and economic and social issues, including “the increasingly critical, desperate conditions of the Palestinians.”

Mr. Annan said he personally, along with his representatives, had been in very close contact with leaders on both sides, in the region and among the international community. In light of the gravity of the situation, the Secretary-General said he had asked his envoy, Terje Roed Larsen, to intensify consultations with all concerned. “The outlook is bleak, but the present course of events is not irreversible,” said Mr. Annan. “Let us do everything in our power to persuade the parties to pull back from the brink, and return to the high road."
