ISRAEL ON A SUICIDE MISSION? CREATING A PEARL OF WISDOM?
I hope everyone reads the excellent, factual article by Nadim Shehadi in this thread. It helps to balance the slanted propaganda of our western MSM. More than anything now the world needs justice and balance. Those Libra qualities are needed now to counterbalance the Aries "ramming'.
Long ago I read somewhere that Israel was set up by the UK/nwo to be eventually destroyed. I never quite understood the logic behind that (if, indeed, there ever was any). However, what is evolving currently seems to be playing out exactly such a plan.
The Israeli government (NOT necessarily its citizens) appears now to be on a suicide mission, testing the world for how much it will tolerate before it intervenes and obliterates that out-of- control state that is the size of New Jersey! "Armageddon" appears to be the agenda unfolding.
As a firm believer of "everything in Divine Order", I wonder if Israel really is a "failed nation".
I often think of how an oyster makes a pearl: a tiny bit of sand is a long time irritant from which the oyster tries to protect itself by exuding a protective coating, creating a beautiful natural prized pearl. The sand and protective coating must interact to create the pearl; one without the other makes no pearl.
The pearl is a classic symbol of wisdom. Perhaps Israel, a nation of self-declared "chosen people" is unwittingly (?) sacrificing itself in a suicide mission to deliver a "pearl of wisdom" to the world....a "pearl of very great price" indeed.
I suggest that the resulting "pearl of wisdom" is the universal awareness and acceptance of unity, harmony, love and PEACE as humanity's only solution for survival. It seems ironic that the peoples of the MidEast conflict greet each other many times a day with "salem" or "shalom" depending on which side of the "fence" they live. Hopefully peace will eventually "sink in" and prevail.
The final resolution of the current conflicts will reveal if my analogy is valid. And for what these brothers have really been "chosen".
The oyster, afflicted by a speck of sand, is so prominent in the world's current "sea change".....
Isra-EL = struggles (fighting) against God...the name given Jacob after his all-night wrestling match with an "angel". Jacob/Israel survived with a dislocated hip, but badly crippled (IMMOBILIZED).
Peace (salem, shalom) to ALL beings~~~

: The appalling violence that Ehud Olmert has brought upon the
: good people of Palestine, Gaza, and Lebanon, since he came
: to office has been a wake up call heard around the world.
: Why does the West coddle the failed state of Israel and
: tolerate its constant violations of international law and
: human rights? Why did NATO attack Serbia and Iraq while it
: allows Israel to commit much worse atrocities?
: Israel is the destabilizing element in the Middle East and the
: source of much of the terror around the world. I am
: convinced that Israel is behind the attacks of 9/11 in
: order to kick start the "war on terror."
: Here a fellow from Chatham House in London argues that Israel
: is a "failed state" that should do us all a favor
: and go away. This article appeared in one of Israel's
: largest newspapers, Ha'aretz.
:
Israel should pack up and go
: By Nadim Shehadi
: What is the logic that will emerge from this war? If Israel
: can exist only by destroying the neighborhood, then it's
: time to declare it a failed state. The Zionist dream has
: turned into a nightmare and is not viable. If the future
: holds more of the same, then the time has come to
: reconsider the whole project. Every state has a duty to
: defend its citizens, but also it has a duty to provide them
: with security and the two are different. The prospects are
: for more destruction, fanaticism, violence and hatred. No
: unilateral separation can isolate Israel from this, nor can
: the region or the world live with the consequences. This
: seems to be the only choice, and Israel must do itself and
: others a favor and go away.
: The occupation of the West Bank and Gaza shows a country
: deprived of all humanity. The West Bank is unliveable, the
: population strangled into three prison clusters. Concrete
: barriers, barbed wires, bypass roads, human beings emerging
: like rats from underground tunnels, daily humiliation from
: hundreds of checkpoints. Gaza has been under siege since
: the population dared to elect Hamas, its infrastructure has
: been obliterated and its population has been driven to
: despair in what now seems like a dress rehearsal for what
: was to come in Lebanon.
: Lebanon woke up on July 12 to a reality that can destroy the
: very fabric of society. Divided between those who believe
: in a "riviera" with consensus politics, power
: sharing and a weak state, and those who, like Hezbollah,
: see the necessity of having a fortress to resist an evil
: and dangerous enemy. Israel's behavior will see the logic
: of the latter prevail.
: Yet the Lebanese system is resilient. PM Fouad Siniora, under
: the bombs, was able to extract a consensus for a
: seven-point plan where the victorious fortress accepted to
: go back to the political process to resolve the crisis.
: Lebanon still managed to challenge the U.S. and Israel
: through sheer persistence, and in a diplomatic tour de
: force it was successful in steering the UN Security Council
: toward a political rather than military solution. For the
: first time, Arab foreign ministers have been mobilized and
: actively lobbied international legality.
: There is deliberate targeting of civilians: Israel can deny
: it, but at the very least, those Israelis who are doing it
: know it is true. Over 17,000 people were killed in the
: invasion of 1982, and the net result was the creation of
: Hezbollah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad. There is a doctrine
: that says Arabs need to be crushed, that they can be bombed
: into submission, that they will eventually fall on their
: knees. It is the doctrine, not its application, that is
: flawed. It says that by terrorizing the population, they
: will respect us and make peace; it says that those who dare
: resist need to be eradicated through targeted assassination
: and their supporters annihilated no matter what the cost.
: The only lessons Israel learned is that it should do it
: better next time.
: Three Arab countries have peace treaties or diplomatic
: relations with Israel, most of the Gulf states have or had
: commercial bureaus, Saudi Arabia came up with the King
: Abdallah plan offering Israel normalization - something
: that was not achieved in nearly 30 years of peace with
: Egypt. Tunisia and Morocco have excellent relations with
: Israel. Even rogues like Syria and Libya give out positive
: vibes - the former desperate to resume peace talks
: unconditionally. The region has a history of tolerance and
: coexistence; minorities, including Jews, have survived and
: prospered for centuries. Israel is blind to any positive
: developments, and this will soon make these positions and
: those who hold them disappear, their stance untenable.
: Lebanon can reconstruct airports, roads, bridges, and
: factories; bury and mourn the dead, rebuild shattered
: lives. Israel has barely been there for 60 years, a
: millisecond in history, but enough time to judge the
: results. If the fundamental moral logic is flawed, then it
: is time to give up, pack up and go.
