Hater Hillary

Regular Americans are just beginning to get a glimpse into the evil that courses through the veins of American government. And it’s been that way a long time.

Now comes evidence—as if we needed it—that the Clintons, at least Hillary, are as anti-Israel as they come. I’ve documented before how Hillary Rodham as a member of a Methodist youth group was heavily influenced by Don Jones, who taught the teenagers in his charge that at least some of the Bible is myth.

Her foundations were destroyed, you see.

Fast-forward decades and is it any wonder that Hillary Clinton, first as first lady then as secretary of state, would undermine Israel?

This week in the Jerusalem Post, Schmuley Boteach outlines the depth of the Jew-hatred in Hillary’s inner circle:

“It’s already been established that one of Hillary Clinton’s most trusted advisers, Sid Blumenthal, sent her anti-Israel articles, ideas and advice during her time as secretary of state. But the stream of anti-Israel advice received by Clinton was much more comprehensive.

“In the entire forced dump of Clinton’s emails, you will be hard pressed to find a single one sympathetic toward the Jewish state from any of the people she relied on. The negative, poisonous approach to Israel throughout this email expose shows the atmosphere that she had established around herself. These emails seem to demonstrate that a huge segment of her close advisers and confidantes were attacking Israel, condemning Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and strategizing how to force Israel to withdraw from Judea and Samaria at all costs.”

With regard to that last point, one can see clearly how Clinton’s early worldview helps shape how she views geopolitics now. For example, a politician like Ted Cruz probably has some sense that the Bible is Israel’s title deed to the land. Clinton on the other hand would have none of that.

According to Boteach, notice how Clinton’s various advisors undermined Israel:

“Sandy Berger was Clinton’s foreign policy adviser during her 2008 presidential campaign. In September of 2010 he sent her ideas on how to pressure Israel to make concessions for peace. Berger acknowledged ‘how fragile is Abbas’s political position,’ and how ‘Palestinians are in disarray,’ and that ‘failure is a real possibility.’ Berger was well aware of, and informed Hillary of, the very real possibility that Israel would be placing its national security at grave risk in a deal that would very likely fail and lead to a Hamas takeover.

“But Berger felt the risks to Israeli lives were worth it.

“He advised the need to make Netanyahu feel ‘uneasy about incurring our displeasure….’

“Berger emphasizes the need ‘to convince the prime minister – through various forms of overt persuasion and implicit pressure – to make the necessary compromises’ and talks of the ‘possibility – to turn his position against him.’”

This is madness! Pressure Israel, knowing full well the Arabs are chaotic sociopaths.

Only at platforms like RaptureReady can we explore the spiritual dimensions of such insane political policies. I go back to Genesis 3 as the beginnings of such hatred for the Jews.

Nothing else makes much sense. Why would otherwise smart people engage in such mendacity when it comes to Jewish lives, to Israel’s fragile security?

Our New Testament corollary is Ephesians 6:12:

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

History has known few political leaders more heartless and calculating than Hillary Clinton. The new email evidence confirms that.

Strengthening the Ground

A bold—and correct— move by the Jerusalem Municipality this week approves 176 new housing units for a Jewish community in east Jerusalem.

Surrounded by the Arab neighborhood of Jebl Mukaber, the Jewish community of Nof Zion will strengthen the Israeli presence in that part of the city.

Mayor Nir Barkat made the announcement and it seemed to signal a sort of new response from Israelis, who are not in an apologetic mood that they are building in their ancient and present (and future) capitol. In years past, particularly during the U.S. administrations of leftist presidents, the Israelis were always very careful to be mindful of the Palestinians’ moods.

Perhaps it’s momentum from the Donald Trump White House that the Israelis are, as Birkat says, “In the 50^th year of the reunification of the city, we are reuniting the city in actions on the ground.”

Even 20 years ago, the Left was accusing Israeli leaders like Benjamin Netanyahu of “creating facts on the ground.” Of course they were. So have the Palestinians been creating facts on the ground. All sides do. It’s called advancing your agenda.

Glad to see the Israelis are no longer apologizing for it.

It is fascinating and infuriating to see international groups and their Palestinian friends accuse Israel of “Judaizing” Jerusalem! But in our upside-down world, where we have moved from inversions of the truth to outright loathing of the truth itself (anyone can make his own reality), the Jews’ 3000-year presence in the holy city can be called into question. At the same time, the newly invented “Palestinian people” make the most outrageous historical claims, based on no historical or archaeological evidence, and no one calls them on it.

Interestingly, more than 20 years ago, contractors bought land in Jebl Mukebar, with plans to build Jewish homes. Did you hear that?

Bought land.

Just as their forefathers did in the 19^th and 20^th centuries, Jews have purchased land from Arabs in the region. So much for stealing “Palestinian land,” as various leftists claim.

The leftist group Peace Now claims: “The construction of a large settlement in the heart of a Palestinian neighborhood will be a severe blow to Jerusalem and to the chance to achieve the two-state solution.”

Notice these are Jews condemning their brethren, and supporting their sworn enemies, the Palestinians.

Notice too a key thing here: for those of us who believe Bible prophecy is reality, Israel’s actions in Nof Zion, and Peace Now’s statement, which gives a nod to international opinion, this all sets up the prophecies of Zechariah.

Anyone understands that the “two-state solution” is a dead letter; it doesn’t work even in theory. Due mostly to Palestinian instability, a Palestinian state is not workable. Perhaps it would be in 200 years when more terrorist leaders die off. Who knows? But today it simply wouldn’t work. At best, “Palestine” would function as a Third World country, continually reliant on international aid for even basic necessities.

But a scenario must exist in which the Palestinians and their George Soros-inspired benefactors finally attempt to force a state of Palestine on the Israelis.

That’s when all hell will break loose.

In the meantime, it gives me a great feeling knowing the Israeli presence in Jerusalem will grow stronger.
