Peace Talks = Peace Deal?

There is a new development in what is wrongly referred to as the Peace Talks in Israel. I say these talks have an incorrect title for two reasons: There is no declared war in Israel and the talks now and have always been about pressuring Israel to give up its own God-given land. In reality, these talks should really be titled "Pressuring Israel To Give Up Its Land."

Well, what is this new development? John Kerry and Marine General John Allen met privately last week with Israeli leaders with a new proposal with the purpose of easing Israeli concerns of its security if Judea and Samaria becomes a Palestinian State. The new proposal is that the United States would place its military forces along the Jordan Valley protecting Israel from any enemy invasions from the East. Israel would withdraw its forces as part of this proposal.

Let us examine this further. What if a foreign country proposed to the United States that they would place their military forces along the borders with Canada and Mexico to protect the United States from its enemies? I doubt the majority of American citizens would agree to or be comfortable with such a proposal. Why should Israel be forced to even consider such a concept? It appears to me that Western powers will propose almost anything to force Israel to give up its own land.

Most importantly, we need to realize the God of Israel will never desert or forget about His Covenant People. Isaiah 43:1-3 says "But now, thus says The Lord, He who created you, O Jacob, and He who formed you, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned or scorched, nor will the flame kindle you. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior."

May The Lord Bless You And Keep You This Day And Each Day,
