NEWS BRIEF: "Hamas win could encourage Israel's go-it-alone approach", Israel Insider, January 26, 2006

"Hamas' strong showing in Palestinian parliamentary elections will encourage Israel's go-it-alone approach to Mideast peacemaking if Israeli officials feel they have no one to talk to on the other side ... Hamas has shown little willingness to renounce its charter calling for Israel's destruction or to give up its weapons, despite its decision to uphold a cease-fire declared a year ago ... Israeli officials refused to comment on Wednesday's exit poll results. But in a speech on Tuesday night, acting Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert hinted that Israel might pursue more unilateral moves - like last summer's Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip - if Israel feels there is no Palestinian negotiating partner in the wake of the parliament vote."

Sharon began this mantra almost two years ago: "Israel does not have a 'partner' for peace", he intoned over and over again. Slowly, carefully, and most methodically, Ariel Sharon then began to build his case for unilateral withdrawal. Surprisingly, by the time Israel actually began to withdraw from The Gaza Strip, Sharon had convinced a strong majority that it was in Israel's best interests to unilaterally withdraw from Gaza, leaving the area totally in the hands of the Palestinians.

Now, Olmert is sounding this well-worn refrain.

"Many Israelis see unilateralism as a way out of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict without having to wait for an elusive peace treaty, but others see it as a grave danger because it gives up territory without gaining Palestinian security guarantees in return." (Ibid.)

Pro-withdrawal Israelis will counter that it is ridiculous to wait for "Palestinian security guarantees in return", because the Palestinians have never, ever, ever lived up to an agreement! They truly are worthless as "partners for peace", simply because they are not interested in living side-by-side with Israel; they are interested only in physically annihilating Israel and every Jew therein.

Because this is true, Cutting Edge issued a warning to every Arab leader and citizen who truly wants to destroy the Jewish state of Israel. This article is: NEWS2107, "Arab Beware! As You Scheme To Destroy Israel, You Have Embarked Upon 'Mission Impossible' ".

Since this Headline News article is so full of Biblical promises of Godly protection of Israel, particularly in the Last Days, that we encourage you to read this analysis thoroughly; you will better be able to understand current events once you understand God's bedrock promises.

Immediately after the election, editorialists were whining their belief that the election process might "restrain" Hamas. However, officials from that terrorist organization had other thoughts in mind, as this next segment illustrates.

"Ismail Haniyeh, Hamas' top candidate, on Wednesday said that his group would not lay down its weapons - a central demand of Abbas, Israel and the West. Another candidate, Mahmoud Zahar, said Hamas is 'not going to change a single word' in its covenant calling for Israel's destruction." (Ibid.)

Now, that is truth you can take to the bank!

Remember, Israel is withdrawing her settlers from The Gaza Strip and the West Bank simply to "pull them out of harm's way" so that, when the IDF annihilates the entire Palestinian population, man, woman, and child, in fulfillment of Obadiah 15-18, she will not kill tens of thousands of Jewish citizens in the process. We have outlined this reality in several articles in the past. If you have not read them, we encourage you to do so. The key articles are listed below:

NEWS1422 -- THE COMING PROPHESIED ANNIHILATION OF THE PALESTINIANS -- TODAY'S HOUSE OF ESAU

NEWS 1620 -- ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER STATES THAT ISRAEL WILL CREATE "BUFFER ZONES" TO PHYSICALLY SEPARATE THEMSELVES FROM PALESTINIANS. PALESTINIAN ATTACK SUCH A MOVE

NEWS2095 -- LEADING ORTHODOX JEWISH SCHOLARS CONFIRM CUTTING EDGE TEACHING THAT TODAY'S PALESTINIANS ARE THE "HOUSE OF ESAU" (Obadiah 15-18)

The fact of the matter is quite plain: Israel has set a trap for the Palestinians in the Oslo Accords. Once Jewish settlers have been totally withdrawn, the IDF will strike, annihilating all Palestinians just as the prophecy declares. Israel is not really "giving up Biblical lands", but is simply and only staging a strategic withdrawal so she can carry out the destruction without killing tens of thousands of her own people.
