IDF Merkava MBTs On-The-Move
11 August 2014: Neither of the the major factions of Islam (Sunni and Shi'a) have yet come to grips with the fact that the current warfighting, be it Sunni vs. Shi'a, or Sunni vs. Israel or Shi'a vs. Israel, is an existential war respect to the Islamic religion. These wars will prove the god of islam to be a false god, and that will happen when they both come against Israel, instead of each other. This is the basic point I was making in SITREP C17-14, and which is why I have made this entry the Part II of that topic.
Brother Lawrence of India today sent me an email that contained a recent article written by Daymond Duck and posted to RaptureReady.com entitled "Israel's God is God." In the introduction Daymond referenced his 1995 book "On The Brink," specifically pages 37-38, where he recaptured the inspiration from the Lord of two years prior wherein he wrote: (emphasis added)
“Religion and ownership of the land (the Promised Land of Israel) are at the heart of the never-ending Arab-Israeli conflict. The two groups are diametrically opposed to each other because each group thinks it worships the only real God and each group thinks He gave the Promised Land to them.The conflict over this blessed place is theological and directly linked to the question, “Whose god is God and who worships the true God?” The land issue can never be settled until the theological conflict over God’s identity is settled. The religion of the loser is dead.”
I could not agree more with Daymond Duck's inspired statement simply because the inspiration of the Lord has made clear the exact same thing to myself as I have discussed in more posts to this blog than just the above referenced SITREP. Sunni and Shi'a Islam today battle each other to determine which sect of Islam shall be dominant over the other, and simultaneously both claim their utmost ambition is to drive the State of Israel in to the Mediterranean Sea; to wipe the the nation off of the map.
The jihadist Islamic State currently occupying northwestern Alawite-controlled Syria and northern Iraq (ancient Assur per Psalm 83) has positioned itself to directly threaten the Shi'a Islamic Republic of Iran, a nation within very short reach of an indigenous nuclear weapons capability, as well as its allies in Alawite-controlled Damascus, Syria and the Hezbollah-dominated Lebanon. The Islamic State also directly threatens Sunni Jordan and Saudi Arabia, as well as all other Sunni political entities who do not fall in lockstep with with its own brand of Al Qaeda-inspired Sunni totalitarian ideology. The Islamic State literally massacres all in its path to expand its declared Caliphate globally. Inevitably this includes Israel, and that is where the proverbial "rubber will meet the road." When the opposing sects of Islam come against Israel, the religion of the false god "allah" will be exposed as a sham, a fake, a phoney, a fraud. "The religion of the loser is dead." They just don't know it yet. That date of ultimate reckoning is certainly closer than anyone not part of the Bride of Christ in the Middle East currently suspects.
August 12: The second day of the 72-hour ceasefire came and went without much change from the first day. It appears that tomorrow, at the end of the 72-hour ceasefire of the war Israel says it has not been fighting and the islamic jihad which HAMAS says it will resume tomorrow or at the time of its choosing, will commence once again with the first rocket HAMAS fires at Israel. That first rocket will in all likelihood go airborne prior to the end the the full 72-hours. Jihadists are soooo predictable, unless you're the formerly conservative Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu -- he actually thinks that the islamic terrorists of HAMAS, the PIJ and Fatah are legitimate parties to an honorable negotiation that will be honorably adhered to. Israel desperately needs to shed itself of Netanyahu as much as the US needs to shed itself of Obama. Both are detrimental to the well-being of their respective nations, and to all innocents in harms way.
Hasta mañana mis hermanos.
August 13: See the comment I made above in bold red print. For the second time in as many so-called "ceasefires" the utter predictability of islamic terrorists in Gaza firing rockets into Israel prior to the agreed to end of the 72-hour ceasefire occurred exactly as anticipated. Gaza's terrorists launched ceasefire breaking rockets against Israel a full two hours before the agreed ceasefire termination. One can only hope, without holding one's breath, that Prime Minister Netanyahu stops playing childish patty-cake games with these Gaza terrorists and decides in relatively short order to do what needs to be done to solve the security problem permanently. In either case a negotiation with islamic terrorists or with something that no longer exists would be a de facto moot point. To the victor go the spoils as well as the determination of how a conquered territory should be governed thereafter. Another five days? For what purpose other than postponing the inevitable and extending for as long as possible PM Netanyahu's current penchant for a political dictatorship in his negotiation fantasies? This is truly a theater of the absurd.
August 14: Another day came and went. No active warfare, but no peace either. The recently announced 5-day extension of the current faux ceasefire is more of a grace period in which Israel is allowing the islamic terrorists in Gaza to regroup, take stock of their warfighting assets and prepare for the next assault upon Israel. Brilliant strategy that.
August 15: A rocket was reportedly fired from Gaza and also reportedly was heard to explode somewhere in the Eshkol District. However, there is no record of such a launch/impact occurring this morning on the real-time RedAlert website in Israel. This morning there are also OSINT media reports (take with a large grain of salt) that both HAMAS and PIJ have had enough of the whooping Israel has given them and are now more disposed to licking their wounds rather than going for more jihad against Israel.
Assessment Going Forward: While it is true that islamic jihadists will revert to a temporary hudna (ceasefire) because the enemy has kicked their buttocks up into brand new territory between their shoulder blades, as soon as their buttocks can be successfully relocated where they came from on the lower posterior, then the jihad will resume in full. This is my forecast for the war in Gaza. Have a great Friday!
