Agreement expected before end of year

Insider leaks plans for Palestinian state. Secretive U.S.-backed discussion focuses on West Bank, Jerusalem

By Aaron Klein, WorldNetDaily

JERUSALEM – U.S.-backed negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians are expected to generate an agreement by the end of the year that would set up a Palestinian state in the West Bank and eastern sections of Jerusalem, according to a source who has participated in the talks.

In one of the first media glimpses into the current negotiations, a source who takes part in the regular meetings outlined for WND the main objectives of the secretive negotiations.

Since last November’s Israeli-Palestinian Annapolis summit, which set as a goal the creation of a Palestinian state before 2009, negotiating teams including Israeli Foreign Minister Tzippy Livni and chief Palestinian negotiator Ahmed Qureia have been meeting weekly while Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas have been meeting biweekly.

Unlike previous Israeli-Palestinian negotiations in which both sides attended with about a dozen advisers each, the teams working with Livni and Qureia are small, usually consisting at most of five people each.

Also unlike previous talks, in which the contents of many meetings were leaked quickly to the media, the current negotiations have resulted in few press leaks.

According to the source who has been playing a role in the meetings, the two sides are drafting an agreement, to be signed by the end of the year, requiring Israel to evacuate most of the West Bank and certain eastern sections of Jerusalem.

The source said Israeli community blocks in the zones of Gush Etzion, Maale Adumin and Ariel would remain Israeli while most of the West Bank and parts of Jerusalem will be slated for a Palestinian state.

  1. What should be our Biblical guideline for supporting ISRAEL’S NATIONAL DEFENSE against the armies of the devil, the beast and the false prophet? What is a good, sound Biblical argument for standing up for Israel and choosing sides on the Temple Mount?

    1. Genesis 13:10-17 says – “The Lord said to Abram after Lot had parted from him, ‘Lift up your eyes from where you are and look north and south, east and west. All the land that you see I will give to you and your offspring forever. I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth, so that if anyone could count the dust, then your offspring could be counted. Go, walk through the breadth of the land. For I am giving it to you.”
    2. Genesis 17:8 says –“The whole land of Canaan, where you are now alien, I will give as an everlasting possession to you and your descendants after you; and I will be their God.”
    3. Genesis 17:18-21 says – “And Abraham said to God, ‘If only Ishmael might live under your blessing!’ Then God said, ‘Yes, but your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you will call him Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him. And as for Ishmael, I have heard you: I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and greatly increase his numbers. He will be the father of twelve rulers, and I will make him into a great nation. BUT MY COVENANT I WILL ESTABLISH WITH ISAAC, whom Sarah will bear to you….” What about the Muslims? Genesis 21:9-10 and verse 12 says – “But Sarah saw that the son whom Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham was mocking, and she said to Abraham, ‘Get rid of that slave woman and her son, for that slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with my son Isaac.’ God said to Abraham, ‘Listen to whatever Sarah tells you, because it is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.’”
    4. Genesis 26:3 says –“Stay in this land for a while, and I will be with you Isaac and will bless you. For to you and your descendants I will give all these lands and will confirm the oath I swore to your father Abraham.”
    5. Genesis 28:12-14 says—“Jacob had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. There above it stood the Lord, and he said: ‘I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the land on which you are lying. Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth and you will spread out to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south. All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring.”
    6. Exodus 6:2-4, 7-8 says – “God said to Moses, ‘I am the Lord. I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob as God Almighty, but by my name the Lord I did not make myself known to them. I also established my covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan, where they lived as aliens….I will take you as my own people, and I will be your God…And I will bring you to the land I swore with an uplifted hand to give to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob. I will give it to you as a possession. I AM THE LORD.”
    7. Exodus 13:5 & 11 says – “When the Lord brings you into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Hivites and Jebusites—the land he swore to your forefathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey—you are to observe this ceremony in this month….After the Lord brings you into the land of the Canaanites and gives it to you, as he promised on oath to your forefathers, you are to give over to the Lord the first offspring of every womb.”
    8. Exodus 19:5-6says – “Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is MINE, you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.”
    9. Exodus 23:27 – 28 & 31-32 says – “I will send my terror ahead of you and throw into confusion every nation you encounter. I will make all your enemies turn their backs and run. I will send the hornet ahead of you to drive out the Hivites, Canaanites and Hittites out of your way…..I will establish your borders from the Red Sea to the Sea of the Philistines, and from the desert to the River, and I will hand over to you the people who live in the land and you will drive them out before you. DO NOT MAKE A COVENANT WITH THEM OR WITH THEIR GODS. DO NOT LET THEM LIVE IN YOUR LAND, or they will cause you to sin against me, because the worship of their gods will certainly be a snare to you.”
    10. Exodus 34:11-15 says—“Obey what I command you today. I will drive out before you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites. Be careful not to make a treaty with those who live in the land where you are going, or they will be a snare among you. Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones and cut down their Asherah poles. Do not worship any other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God. Be careful not to make a treaty with those who live in the land; for when they prostitute themselves to their gods and sacrifice to them, they will invite you and you will eat their sacrifices.”
    11. Joshua 1:2-5 says – “Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give them—to the Israelites. I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses. Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the great river, the Euphrates—all the Hittite country—to the Great Sea on the west.”
    12. Joshua 11:16-23 says – “So Joshua took this entire land: the hill country, all the Negev, the whole region of Goshen, the western foothills, the Arabah and the mountains of Israel with their foothills, from Mount Halak, which rises toward Seir, to Baal Gad in the Valley of Lebanon below Mount Hermon. He captured all their kings and struck them down, putting them to death. Joshua waged war against all these kings for a long time. Except for the Hivites living in Gibeon, not one city made a treaty of peace with the Israelites, who took them all in battle. For it was the Lord himself who hardened their hearts to wage war against Israel, so that he might destroy them totally, exterminating them without mercy, as the Lord had commanded Moses.”
    13. Leviticus Chapters 12 – 21 define what the Borders of Israel shall be recognized as God’s Eternal decree.. The Land of Israel belongs to God and to the obedient Jewish Children of Israel. As defined in the Torah, the Twelve Tribes Of Israel inherited the Promised Land through Joshua’s war campaign. The Islamic peoples have no right to dwell on Israelite soil, nor does any other secular or religious government, for God’s Covenant with Israel through Isaac’s Offspring is everlasting. The PLO is not recognized by God as a legitimate government on Israeli soil on the basis of what the Scriptures teach. Allah is a false god and Muhammad is a false prophet. If Israel desires to gain back their own land as defined in the Torah, then they have a Right under God to remove the Muslims and any other religion from their country as defined in the Torah. If Muslims are exiled from the Land of Israel, they should be resettled among the Nations of Islam and they have many places to choose. For Israel to have complete Peace, Islamic Palestine must be permanently removed from the soil of Israel. The will of the world community views this as being impossible and strongly opposes Zionism, because shaking hands in PEACE with the PLO brings economic security to all nations. The 6-day war of the 6th month of 1967 was justified as Israel gained back what was supposed to be their inheritance given to them by God. The Golan Heights, the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, Jerusalem, Hebron, Jericho, Bethlehem, and all towns surrendered to the Muslim Palestinians belongs to Israel. Any peace treaties signed between secular Jewish authorities and pagan Palestinians are to be considered null and void if and when Muslim Palestinians break those treaties. What if Israel breaks the treaties first? Islamic fundamentalists hate Jews and Christians because of their pagan religion which the God of Israel does not recognize as anything outside of a clever lie. The Nation of Israel has the Right, under God, to defend its own Government and the Promised Land against violent Muslims who oppose Israeli Sovereignty as a Nation with their dead pagan god and their false prophet. Since the Peace Treaties were signed between secular Israelis and terrorists through Compromise and Greed for Money, Power, and Wealth, those Treaties do not have to be recognized by this Constitution once the Islamic Palestinians break their Treaty and initiate war against Israel. God will fight for Israel if Israel fights for God. This condition will only be applied if the Muslim Palestinians or any other secular, pagan, or Islamic country attacks Israel with any form of weapons or warfare. However, if the Muslim Palestinians co-exist in Peace with Israel without violence or provocation, then the New Constitution will consent to Israel sharing their land with the Muslims even though the Land of Israel belongs to Israel. All terrorist organizations are to be utterly condemned as well as any nation who supports or finances terrorists who attack Christians and Jews. What would God’s answer to Israel be through the name of Christ? To love their enemies and share the land, provided that Islamic terrorists who murder people for religion be entirely uprooted and silenced.
    14. Joshua 11 – 24 describes Israel’s inheritance as God Promised.

    SO THEY ARE ALL BREAKING GOD’S LAW – EVERYONE!

  3. “Son of man, there were two women, daughters of the same mother. They became prostitutes in Egypt, engaging in PROSTITUTION from their youth. In that land their breasts were fondled and their virgin bosoms caressed. The older was named Oholah, and her sister was Oholibah. They were mine and gave birth to sons and daughters. Oholah is Samaria, and Oholibah IS JERUSALEM. Oholah [SAMARIA] ENGAGED IN PROSTITUTION while she was still mine; and she lusted after her lovers, the Assyrians…She gave herself as a prostitute to all the elite of the Assyrians and defiled herself with all the idols of everyone she lusted after. She did not give up THE PROSTITUTION she began in Egypt….Therefore I handed her over to her lovers, the Assyrians, for whom she lusted. THEY STRIPPED HER NAKED, took away her sons and daughters and killed her with the sword. She became a byword among women, and punishment was inflicted on her. Her sister Oholibah [JERUSALEM] saw this, yet in her lust and PROSTITUTION she was more depraved than her sister….but she carried her PROSTITUTION still further……Then the Babylonians came to her, to the bed of love, and in their lust they defiled her. After they had defiled her, she turned away from them in disgust. When she carried on HER PROSTITUTION openly and EXPOSED HER NAKEDNESS, I turned away from her in disgust…..Verse 28…For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am about to hand you over to those you hate, to those you turned away from in disgust. They will deal with you in hatred and take away everything you have worked for. THEY WILL LEAVE YOU NAKED AND BARE, and THE SHAME OF YOUR PROSTITUTION will be exposed. Your lewdness and promiscuity have brought this upon you, because you lusted after the nations and defiled yourself with their idols. You have gone the way of your sister; so I will put her CUP into your hand…You will drink your sister’s CUP, A CUP LARGE AND DEEP; it will bring scorn and derision, for it holds so much. [Rev. 17:4 says – “She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries.] You will be filled with DRUNKENNESS and sorrow, THE CUP OF RUIN AND DESOLATION, the cup of your sister Samaria…you must bear the consequences of your lewdness and prostitution…..” (Ezekiel 23). The words that are capitalized are also used in Revelation 17, 18, and 19. Lamentations 1:1 & 8 says—“How deserted lies the city, once so full of people! How like a widow is she, who once was great among the nations! She who was queen among the provinces has now become a slave. Jerusalem has sinned greatly and so has become unclean. All who honored her despise her for they have seen her nakedness.”
    4. “You have defiled the land with your PROSTITUTION.” (Jeremiah 3:2)

  4. Unlike Steve Klein here, AARON KLEIN IS ONE OF THE WORLD’S BEST NEWS REPORTERS!

    Of our world leaders, the Bible makes this clear:

    Although the symbol of the prostitute appears to literally symbolize Babylon within Iraq, or Rome, or Washington D.C., which all qualify for being PROSTITUTES (Like every other nation in the UNITED NATIONS) the Biblical evidence strongly suggests JERUSALEM as “THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES” with the title of “BABYLON THE GREAT” written on her forehead.
    What Biblical Evidence strongly suggests that JERUSALEM is the mother of prostitutes and of the abominations of the earth that the kings of the earth have committed adultery with?
    Why couldn’t Rome or Babylon or America be the prostitute as other scholars have concluded?
    The following passages are the Biblical evidence that supports this interpretation that JERUSALEM was and is the prostitute of Revelation 17, 18, and 19:
    1. Ezekiel 16:9-41 says to the Jews of Jerusalem in God’s own Words: “I bathed you with water and washed the blood from you and put ointments on you. I clothed you with an embroidered dress and put leather sandals on you. I dressed you with FINE LINEN [Rev. 19:8 says – “Fine linen, bright and clean was given her to wear. Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of the saints.”] and covered you with costly garments. I adorned you with jewelry… I put bracelets on your arms and a necklace around your neck, and I put a ring on your nose, earrings on your ears and a beautiful crown on your head. So you were adorned with GOLD and silver; your clothes were of FINE LINEN and costly fabric and embroidered cloth. [Rev. 17:4 says-“The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with GOLD, PRECIOUS STONES, and pearls.] Your food was FINE FLOUR and OLIVE OIL [Rev.18:11-13 says – “The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her because no one buys their cargoes any more – cargoes of gold, silver, precious stones and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet cloth; every sort of citron wood, and articles of every kind made of ivory, costly wood, bronze, iron and marble; cargoes of cinnamon and spice, of incense, myrrh and frankincense, of wine and OLIVE OIL, OF FINE FLOUR…] You became very beautiful and rose to be a queen. And your fame spread among the nations on account of your beauty, because the splendor I had given you made your beauty perfect, declares the Sovereign Lord. But you trusted in your beauty and used your fame to become A PROSTITUTE. You lavished your favors on anyone who passed by and your beauty became his. You took some of your garments to make gaudy high places, WHERE YOU CARRIED ON YOUR PROSTITUTION. Such things should not happen, nor should they ever occur. You also took the fine jewelry I gave you, the jewelry made of my gold and silver, and you made for yourself male idols and engaged IN PROSTITUTION with them. And you took your embroidered clothes to put on them, and you offered my oil and incense before them. Also the food I provided for you – THE FINE FLOUR, OLIVE OIL, and honey I gave you to eat – you offered as fragrant incense before them. This is what happened, declares the Sovereign Lord….In all your detestable practices and your PROSTITUTION you did not remember the days of your youth, when you were NAKED AND BARE, kicking about in your blood…..You engaged IN PROSTITUTION with the Egyptians, your lustful neighbors, and provoked me to anger with your increasing promiscuity…..You engaged IN PROSTITUTION with the Assyrians too…..Then you increased your promiscuity to include BABYLONIA, a land of merchants…..How weak-willed you are, declares the Sovereign Lord, when you do all these things, acting LIKE A BRAZEN PROSTITUTE….YOU ADULTEROUS WIFE!….Therefore, YOU PROSTITUTE…..Because you poured out your wealth and EXPOSED YOUR NAKEDNESS in your promiscuity with your lovers, and because of all your detestable idols, and because you gave them your children’s blood, therefore I am going to gather all your lovers, with whom you found pleasure….I will gather them against you from all around and STRIP YOU IN FRONT OF THEM, AND THEY WILL SEE ALL YOUR NAKEDNESS [Rev. 17:16 says — “The beast and the ten horns you saw will hate the prostitute. They will bring her to ruin and leave her naked; they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire.] I will sentence you to the punishment of women who commit adultery and shed blood; I will bring upon you the blood vengeance of my wrath and jealous anger. Then I will hand you over to your lovers…..THEY WILL STRIP YOU OF YOUR CLOTHES and take your fine jewelry and leave you NAKED AND BARE…..They will burn down your lovers and inflict punishment on you in the sight of many women. I will put a stop to YOUR PROSTITUTION.” Every word in Ezekiel 16 that has been highlighted and bolded from these verses has the same terms used to describe the prostitute in Revelation 17.
    2. “See how the faithful city has become a harlot!” (Isaiah 1:21)

  5. This may be the most disturbing thing I’ve seen this year. Not that anyone should be surprised by the two-faced actions of the primary parties, of course, but to have such an accelerated schedule is deeply alarming.
