Renewed fears of Israeli civil war after settlers attack IDF base


When Israel forcibly uprooted 10,000 Jews from Gaza and northern Samaria in 2005, many feared the outbreak of civil war in Israel. It didn't happen at that time, but experts argued that the groundwork had been laid for future armed conflict between the Jews of Judea and Samaria and the left-wing establishment that controls many of the state's main institutions.
When a group of young Jewish "settlers" stormed an Israeli army base in the Jordan Valley on Monday, it appeared those fears were becoming reality.

The Link between Iran, al-Qaeda, and End Times Prophecy

Last week, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, found Iran responsible for the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania. But wait; wasn't al-Qaeda responsible for those bombings?
The evidence showed that while al-Qaeda carried out the bombings, they would not have been possible without "direct assistance" from Iran. Judge John Bates wrote that "the government of Iran aided, abetted, and conspired with Hizbullah, Osama bin Laden, and al-Qaeda to launch [the] large-scale bombing attacks against the United States."

Is The "Arab Spring Cause For Hope Or Concern?

 For all those who are feeling elated at the downfall of dictators and what appears to be the spread of democracy across the Middle East, I'll tell you up front that I'm about to rain on your parade. It isn't because I want to, but I feel I need to!
Let's look at some of the facts.
Historically, given a choice Muslim societies tend to choose worse leaders than the ones they previously had. Take a look at Iran, Lebanon and Gaza. Radical Islam took over in the first; Hezbollah is pretty much running the show in the second, and Hamas the third. At this time, Tunisia is choosing a so-called moderate government based on Sharia. We'll see just how moderate they are down the line. In Egypt the only organized faction is the Muslim Brotherhood, so guess where my bets are concerning who runs their next government.

How God Used a German Officer to Save Israel and Preserve His Kingdom Plan

Can one man make a difference? He can where God is concerned. In fact, God could use one man to save the very focus of His kingdom plan, the nation of Israel. In addition, because God is a God of irony, He could even use a World War I German officer to save the future Jewish nation in order to preserve God's kingdom plan.
Last week, the Israel Daily Picture, published a photograph of a German General, Erich von Falkenhayn, leaving Palestine in 1918 with an amazing caption. (It was elaborated further by a Falkenhayn family genealogy, which was posted on the internet.) The information read: "While he was in command in Palestine, he was able to prevent Turkish plans to evict all Jews from Palestine . . . it is fair to say that Falkenhayn prevented the eradication of Jewish settlements in Palestine."
