I wrote this back on August 12th, 2001 Amid the diplomatic efforts to prevent the violence from escalating further, the Islamic militant group Hamas said the Palestinian Authority had arrested four of its members, one of whom Israel believes sent the bomber to Jerusalem on Thursday. But Israel said the arrests did not go far enough and insisted that the Palestinians "stop terror." Although Palestine has brought it's hear no evil, see no evil, and speak no evil act to town, I don't think anyone in the Israeli government is buying it. This has become a situation that has gotten completely out of control and Israel can no longer stand by as their citizens live in constant fear. I believe that Israel has finally had enough and will eventually march against the West Bank, ridding it of all Palestian and Arab settlers. Israel will take a stand against this blatant terrorism and the Arab world will rise up in one accord. The U.S. will be opposed to the Israeli attack, but will not interfere. Further, when the Arab's attack Israel the U.S. will stay neutral as well. Besides, Russia will be in the mix and that's got World War III written all over it. Friendship is one thing, but Israel didn't even exist 60 years ago. I'm sorry, but you guys are on you own. I really believe that this will come to pass before spring/summer 2002. It all depends on how serious Israel is about the "permanent" status they placed on taking possession of the PLO government institutions last week. If they bend under political pressure to reinstate everything as before, then we're back to square one and the terrorism will continue. If they stand strong I believe an attack is imminent. Stay tuned…it may get very interesting from this point on.
Today
Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said he held Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat responsible for suicide bombings that killed 25 people and launched airstrikes at Palestinian Authority targets, bulldozed the runway at the Gaza City airport and sent tanks to within a few hundred meters of the office in which Arafat was working.
Palestinian chief negotiator Saeb Erakat said Sharon was making "the mistake of his life." (www.cnn.com)
What has happened today is not surprising. In fact, look for more of the same, and for Israel to become more proactive in their war against terrorism. Unless Mr. Arafat becomes serious about ending terrorism he will no longer be a factor in the peace process. That will have to include cracking down on terrorist groups harbored in his state.
Don't expect Israel to leave the West Bank or to agree to any peace agreement until that fateful day the antichrist is revealed. It is my firm belief that that day is fast approaching. But I see an upscale war in the Middle East coming.
Citing the "quantity and level" of threats, Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge announced Monday a new security alert, warning of the possibility of another terrorist attack within the United States. (www.cnn.com)
This is a very real threat that we must take serious. Unfortunately, life as we know it will never be the same. Israel is a good example of what America may have to endure from September 11th on.
