Terror in Jerusalem

Death in Jerusalem

Ten Israeli youngsters, all 14-20 years old, were murdered last night in Jerusalem, in a sophisticated assault by Islamic "human bombers" who blew themselves up, while an accomplice set off a car bomb among the rescue workers intentionally preventing treatment to the wounded.

The blast jolted me awake. Less than a mile from my home in Jerusalem, three powerful explosions shattered the night. Then came the sirens. Their piercing screams were only a prelude to the wail of mourning that would soon begin as families realized that the murdered youngsters were their sons, grandsons and brothers. Smirking evil had deliberately calculated the time and the place where the most young adults could be blown to bits in an instant. All the fatalities were under 21 years old.

Who can understand malice so vicious as to plot the destruction of a generation as yet unborn? But that’s the plan of the Arab terrorists who deliberately target the young, the mothers and the infants. They are determined to destroy Israel’s future by murdering the young people who could create it. It’s genocide. This is the "entity" the U.S. continues to blather about our living next to in peace. This is raw, naked Jew hatred in it’s most grotesque form, purposely targeting the tender shoots to exterminate an entire people.

History is repeating itself. After WWII, most Americans were horrified to discover the savagery of the death camps in Nazi Germany. Yet many Americans knew the truth, especially in the government. Today, all Americans can hear about the daily atrocities committed against the Jewish people, yet most are turning a blind eye. They have more important things to do. They have kids to raise and jobs to consider, and of course, the holidays are coming. Meanwhile G-d’s chosen people are being blown to bits by Arafat’s Neo-Nazis.

There is One Who is not blind to our suffering. Nor is He blind to the bland disinterest too many Americans feel as they watch what’s happening "over there" before turning to the more important news of sports and holiday sales. How many of us truly understand that we will INDIVIDUALLY give an account of our lives to our Judge and Redeemer? When the Creator of Heaven and Earth asks YOU "how did you relieve the suffering of my People?" how will YOU answer? There is a faithful remnant who prays incessantly on our behalf, and we gratefully acknowledge that their prayers cause many miracles here in the Land. But the vast majority of Americans, including American Jews, could (frankly) give a rip about what’s happening over here. They just don’t see the relevance to their self-centered little lives. I believe Americans are about to see the relevance.

Already cosmic spectacles of vast proportions are stirring. Giant solar flares with measurements that are off the chart are being seen even as a gigantic black hole has been discovered in the center of our galaxy. All nations are banding together, rattling sabers and making nefarious plans. Unknown diseases are cropping up mysteriously while AIDS continues its horrendous death knoll across Africa. Dramatic climatic changes are causing droughts, famine and flood. And everywhere the earth is moving. A global recession is in process and currency fluctuations are shattering economies; the South African rand is already almost valueless. The U.N. (Unethical) is marching toward global government, Islamic Jihad has been declared against ALL infidels (including Christians), and America’s enemies have penetrated her borders with weapons of mass destruction awaiting only a signal that "now" is the time. But America slumbers on, shaking her head in dismay that G-d’s people just can’t seem to make peace with murderers dedicated to their destruction. ... ... ...
