Obama Promises Palestinian State

Word from Jerusalem has come in that President-elect Barack Hussein Obama has pledged to Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas a Palestinian State.

"Obama expressed his full support for a Palestinian state. He told the president (Abbas) he will continue to promote the peace process, which will end with a two-state solution," said the PA's second most senior negotiator, Saeb Erekat

Obama also stated that he would continue to work throughout his presidency with Israel and Palestine towards a "final solution."

During his presidential campaign President-elect Hussein, while speaking at Jerusalem stated his support for undivided Israel. However, the next day in front of a Palestinian audience his support shifted towards supporting a Palestinian state. And later Obama expressed that his support for an undivided Israel was a poor choice of words.

What exactly are his intentions towards a "final solution" concerning the State of Israel and the Jewish people? We've heard the words "final solution" before, and they were never followed with anything good.

G-d speaks very directly and emphatically concerning those who wish to divide His Land; "I will enter into judgment with them..., they have divided My Land" -Joel 3:2. The Land is of course referring to Israel; a Land that G-d Himself declares as His very own.

Throughout his candidacy and throughout the primaries President-elect Hussein has demonstrated his lack of support for Israel. And many in Israel are already bracing themselves for turbulent times. Many in Israel (and many who support Israel here in the United States) have come to the conclusion that an Obamanation will not come to the aide of Israel if they are attacked.

And the sad truth is that most of those who claim to be believers in the G-d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob will stand idlely by and watch as the enemies of Israel and G-d gather themselves against Israel. Yes, these things must come about. However, this does not mean that the Body of Messiah lay asleep and ignore these things; "Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem; may they prosper who love her" - Ps 122:6.
