Israel did right a few weeks back in stopping the armed ships going into Gaza carrying weapons to fire at that tiny state. The Jews did what any nation did that was being armed by ships in order to destroy their country. The lying Muslims claimed that the ships had humanitarian aid supplies. If that were so, then they could have landed in Israel, had the cargo inspected, and then gone on to Gaza with the supplies, as Israel has done in the past. But no! The whole purpose was to put ashore criminal weapons to fire at Israel. Everyone knew that from the beginning. The Arabs are liars, thieves, of the first order. They are liars and sons of liars! In fact, the Arabs have a policy: if they can get away with lying, they will do so, and argue, that God's providence was at work in the lie! This author has gone to the Middle East some twenty-three times and observed nothing but how the Arabs are evil in their intention against the state of Israel. Remember, the land is God's land that He then gave to Israel. It is now "Their land." At the Clifton Bible Church we are studying the book of Deuteronomy. We noted that the "land" is mentioned thirty-four times just in chapters 4-8. God promised to love Israel "in the land which He swore to your forefathers to give you" (7:13). "When the Lord your God shall bring you into the land where you are entering to possess it" (v. 1). Though they have been out of the land for disobedience, the Lord is now turning things around. They are going to soon embrace the Lord Jesus as their Messiah and Savior. We are getting closer to that great day! The present Washington Administration joined last week the jackals and reversed four decades of U.S. practice, by signing onto a consensus document that singles out Israel's possession of nuclear weapons—thus delegitimizing Israel's very last line of defense: deterrence.
