Recognizing Israel as the Jewish State – Source Materials

January 23, 2014

Philadelphia — We bring to your attention “Recognizing Israel as the Jewish State: Statements,” a continuously updated, 14,000-word weblog by Middle East Forum president Daniel Pipes that provides the fullest source of information in English on the issue of Palestinians recognizing Israel as the Jewish state.

The Jewish state argument stood at the margins of diplomacy as recently as 2007. But it has quickly become central to Israel-Palestinian negotiations – and a possible deal-breaker in the current round of negotiations. Both sides insist on their way, and their positions could hardly be farther apart:

“Palestine can never recognize Israel as a Jewish state.” Palestinian Authority boss Mahmoud Abbas, January 20, 2014.

“If the Palestinians expect me and my people to recognize a nation state for the Palestinian people, surely we can expect them to recognize a nation state for the Jewish people. After all, we’ve only been here four millennia.” Israeli prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu, January 21, 2014.

In addition to the two principals making these statements, the past ten days have also seen the following highlights:

January 13, 2014: Arab League foreign ministers tell Secretary of State John Kerry that they refuse to accept Israel as a Jewish state.

January 15, 2014: Egypt’s Al-Ahram reports that John Kerry “tried to convince officials in [Jordan and Saudi Arabia] of the Jewishness of Israel.”

January 20, 2014: Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper told the Israeli parliament that “Support today for the Jewish State of Israel is more than a moral imperative. It is also a matter of strategic importance, also a matter of our own, long-term interests.”

[Editor’s Note: This does not necessarily entail the beliefs, thoughts, or theories of the local Act chapters or the National Act office…they are my beliefs, thoughts and/or theories. This tells us a little about the Psalms 83 and Ezekiel 38 prophecies…where a number of Arab League nations (Syria, Iraq, Western Saudi Arabia, Palestine, Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon in Psalms 83 war, and Turkey, Iran, Russia, Sudan, Libya and some hermeneutics, Gomer is equated to be Germany, but there is an argument concerning this trace, some feel Gomer is part of Turkey…both can be feasible, because Germany has had a hatred towards Jews for years, and is quickly becoming an anti-Semitic country again, but in the same token, Turkey is Islamic and hates Israel since 1948…so time will tell about who Gomer), will attack Israel, to annihilate the Jewish people, the true “Children of God”. the Psalms 83 war prophecy, with my research and studying, could happen within the next year to year and a half, due to the four blood moons (15 Apr 14, 8 Oct 14, 4 Apr 15 and 28 Sept 15…blood moons that will happen on Jewish Passover and Sukkot, two years in a row, which has historically ended up something happening to Jewish people, and ending in victory…1492, 1967, 1973…and will happen again. I feel around the fourth lunar eclipse, or shortly after it, the nations of Syria, Iraq, Western Saudi Arabia, Palestine, Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon will attack Israel, and will lose, and the Israelis will take their winning spoils, like in ’67, and will increase their land, including the NW Saudi where Israel will ascertain oil…then shortly after this, the Gog and Magog war will take place, in which the Muslim nations of Turkey, Iran, Southern Russia, Sudan, Libya and possibly anti-Semitic Germany will want to fight against Israel to make allah a winner, instead of a loser like history shows he has been against the Israelites, and with Russia losing some oil from the loose of ally Saudi Arabia, as well as Syria losing in the battle, and their ally, Iran, launching out against Israel, Russia having the military competence and weaponry, will take charge of the final battle. It is suspected that WW III will result from this, but I feel that will be another war…Armageddon, the Psalms 83 and the Ezekiel 38 wars will not be Armageddon…

I went off on a little Biblical rabbit trail…but I wanted to put that in initially to show that the Biblical prophecies are definitely starting to come to the fulfillment point]
