To ensure the prestige of Saudi involvement in Annapolis this week Israel (i.e. the Olmert government) had to agree that the entire West Bank, Golan Heights, East Jerusalem and the entirety of the Holy Temple Mount be on the table for consideration in the formation of a Palestine State.
Olmert might as well have hired pied pipers and lead Jews marching into the sea of oblivion.

Saudi Arabia implies the Middle Eastern Arab world is ready to go to war with Israel. Why? The Saudis have an initiative for a Palestinian State that requires to withdraw from land acquired after defeating a multi-nation Arab invasion in 1967.
I think would foolishly acquiesce to the Saudis except for on small part of the Saudi Peace Initiative. The giving up of all the 1967 territory that should be considered compensation for Arab invasion would include East Jerusalem. The most Holy Site in Judaism is in the eastern portion of Jerusalem – The Temple Mount. Further the entirety Jerusalem of to Jews is the city of David, the king of God’s promise that a descendant would always be in a position to rule Israel. I am assuming for Jews that is a coming Jewish Messiah. For Christians it is Jesus Christ in which His human heritage can be traced back to David via Mary and his step-father Joseph independently.
For Israel to give up any part of Jerusalem would signal the beginning of the Muslim Arab dream: The obliteration of Israel and Jews from the Middle East.
READ THE TELEGRAPH SOURCE POSTED ON PROPHECY UPDATE. Here you will see the Saudi “accept the plan or else war” insinuation.
The EU’s Solana has pretty much given the go ahead to to seek the return of the Golan Heights which they lost in a failed invasion of Israel. The Golan Heights have been a huge strategical buffer utilized by Israel to keep the crazy Assad dynasty at bay.
Carolyn Glick has written an essay showing the last time a Western power showed disinterest toward inter-Arab relations, Kuwait was invaded by Saddam Hussein. Glick senses that Solana’s statement is encouragement for Syria to do the same thing with Israel.
Does it seem far fetched? Hardly! With the mutual back slapping between Syria and Iran as well as the public displays mutual defense memos and such, Syria indeed seems to be just waiting for the best timing to take on Israel.
The crisis in Israel’s corner is the incompetent leadership provided by the Olmert team. The Prime Ministry of Olmert is the most confused and weak leadership Israel has had – EVER.
The desert wolf is circling the prey to take yet one more shot at obliterating Jews in their homeland.
So you think that Middle Eastern media outlets and Mohammedan organizations (i.e. murdering Islamofascist terrorists) are moderate and peaceful? Well think again!
Abdallah Safialdeen representing Hezbollah in Iran claims that as soon as the American military leaves Iraq, Hezbollah will waltz into “Palestine” (i.e. the Land Israel). The Jews will either leave with America or be obliterated.
I have found a kind of scholarly version of the Mecca Accord. I provide it as an alternative to the DEBKAfile analysis I posted on February 11 at SlantRight.com. I still agree with DEBKAfile assessment that Saudi Arabia is re-asserting influence over the Palestinians via money and a mutual affinity of the Sunni Sect. The Saudis were beginning to view Shi’ite Iran as usurping Saudi preeminence.
The MEMRI analysis I am posting does not mention Iran specifically as does the DEBKAfile; however MEMRI does imply that the Saudis created Hamas as a counter to Iran client terrorist group Hezbollah.
I encourage all to take the time to read the MEMRI analysis. You will come away understanding that the Mecca Accord and the Saudi government will continue to remain hostile to the existence of a Jewish nation known as Israel.
Once you have that understanding, keep it in mind when you read praise from the Mainstream Media (MSM) and beaming congratulations on the efficacy of diplomacy over guns and military might. The Mecca Accord is merely a Mohammedan duplicitous move to end Israel’s existence.

I am a member of what Jews and mainline Christian denominations would call the Evangelical Christian Right. From the Jewish point of view, there is a huge distrust of Christians in general because of a long history of anti-Semitism in Europe. I have just read from
Mahmoud Abbas is President of the Palestinian Authority (PA). Abbas is also Chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). His further credentials are as leader of the Fatah terrorists which part of the PLO umbrella. Abbas is hailed as a moderate that can engage diplomatically with the West. Abbas is merely more deceptive than Hamas or Hezbollah. He is just like his predecessor Arafat, Abbas tells the West one thing and preaches hatred of Israel to his fellow Arabs. Abbas must approve school curriculum in the Palestine Authority areas. Check out the maps that the PA hands out to students HERE.
Bill Mehlman ponders as to why the West considers Abbas a so-called moderate Palestinian-Arab.

Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas (a.ka.Abu Mazen) has been touted up and down theWest -- not least notably in Israel – as the world’s gift to Palestinian “moderation.” This, as opposed to those “really bad guys” in Hamas and Hezbollah. Coveniently overlooked is his record as a certified Holocaust belittler (he grudgingly concedes it happened but claims the results were grossly inflated), bagman for the murderers of 11 Israeli athletes at the 1972 Winter Olympics in Munich and Arafat loyalist par excellence.
Also conveniently overlooked is the fact that Abbas, as head of the PA, also controls the Palestinian school system, including the curriculum, the textbooks, the visuals and whatever else is fed into the heads of a million or so Palestinian Arab children every semester. If Abbas has traded in his Arafatian stripes for polkadots, as his promoters claim, the surest place to look for supporting evidence would be the Palestinian classroom. David Bedein, who doubles as editor of Jerusalem-based Israel Resource News Agency and correspondent for the Evening Bulletin in Philadelphia, recently took just such a look. His conclusions are not comforting. “…The new school books that…Mahmoud Abbas has now introduced in the Palestinian Authority school system -- run independently of Hamas --” Bedein reported to the Bulletin, “represent a curriculum that prepares a new generation of Palestinians to destroy Israel.”
Referring to a recent study of those Abbas-approved PA school texts commissioned by the Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center (www.intelligence.org.il) in Herzliya, an outfit solidly on the left-liberal side of the Israeli political spectrum, Bedein has elucidated the following among the “pearls of wisdom” being showered on Palestinian children in their new textbooks:
*Israel does not exist on the maps of the world included in the PA texts. Israeli territory -- all of it – is stamped PALESTINE.
*Haifa is identified as a “Palestinian seaport” (Vol. 2, p.7, “Our Beautiful Language,” 5th grade textbook p.86).
*Galilee, Nazareth and Bet She’an become “regions in Palestine” on p.7 of “Home Economy,” 10th grade textbook, pp.36-37.
*Textual references to Israel are confined to its “occupation of lands” in 1948 and 1967.
*Zionism is portrayed as an enemy ideology: “The Palestinian people,” students are informed, “are under an oppressive siege, limiting their movement and way of life.”
*An “extremist Zionist” is accused on page 12 of “History of the New Modern World,” a 10th grade textbook ( p. 106) of setting fire to the Al-Aqsa Mosque in 1969 (totally ignoring the fact that a mentally unstable Australian tourist confessed to the crime).
*The forged anti-Semitic tract “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” is cited as the basis for a secret decision on the part of the First Zionist Congress in Basle, Switzerland to foster the creation of a Zionist state on page 13 of “History of the New Modern World,” 10th grade textbook, pp. 60-64.
*The new PA texts declare that the only ancient inhabitants of today’s Israel were Arabs.
*They extol war, violence – especially martyrdom – as the sole path to the achievement of Palestinian goals, paying tribute to the heroic mother “who incessantly presents one sacrifice (‘fida’) after another,” (“Our Beautiful Language,” Vol 2, 5th grade textbook, P.31). Victory or Martyrdom are offered as the wonderful options for those who go into battle “for the sake of Allah” (“Our Beautiful Language,” Vol 1, p.70).
*The new PA-approved Palestinian textbooks feature children with such names as “Jihad” (holy war) and “Nidal” (struggle).
*The return of “refugees” to all of “Palestine” is a concept pervading the new Palestinian school books. “The wrong must be made right by returning them to their homes,” trumpets “Our Beautiful Language,” Vol 2, p.43). “Returning to the homes, the plains and the mountains under the banners of glory, jihad and struggle” (“Our Beautiful Language,” Vol 1, p.88).
Bedein points out that the damage evoked by these texts is compounded by the fact that they have been incorporated into the curricula of the Arab schools in Jerusalem. Moreover, he adds, “a movement is afoot in the Israeli Arab schools in the rest of Israel to adopt the PA curriculum in their schools.” He reports that questions put before Prime Minister Olmert on this issue have gone unanswered. As then mayor of Jerusalem in 2001, his reaction to the incorporation of PA texts in the city’s Arab schools was “they can teach what they want and we will teach what we want.”
Is that still Mr. OImert’s mindset? When the Evening Bulletin raised the issue anew last summer, an Olmert cabinet secretary replied that it was not on the prime minister’s agenda.
