Subject: [TruthTalk] News Report from Jerusalem FYI

Looks like the demise of Yassir Arafat has only opened the way for more of the same,
and worse.....
 
ABU MAZEN: LITTLE JIHAD IS OVER, BIG JIHAD STARTS

Appearing before cheering crowds on January 9, Abu Mazen said that the period of
the "little jihad [holy war] had ended, and now the big jihad is beginning." This quote
led to a quaint exchange on Israel Radio's morning newsmagazine.
Arabic-speaking correspondent Avi Yisacharov played the tapes of Abu Mazen's quotes, and
then quickly said, "Regarding the future..." He was immediately interrupted by anchorman
Aryeh Golan, who said, "Whoa, wait a second. What's this 'big jihad' stuff?" Yisacharov
gave a nervous chuckle and said, "I don't think he means a real jihad, he just means the
challenges ahead of reforms in the PA and the release of Palestinian prisoners by Israel..."
 
Yisacharov similarly played a recording of a leading Abu Mazen supporter singing in
joy at the results of the election and explained that it was simply "an old PLO [Palestine
Liberation Organization] war song." Abu Mazen did little to allay Israeli fears that he
is no different than Arafat. He said he dedicates his victory to "brother shahid [martyr]
Yasser Arafat," to the "shahids and prisoners," and to the "Palestinian people from Rafiah
to Jenin." The crowd responded, "A million shahids marching to Jerusalem!"  (BFP)

You celebrate the death of a man. I find the moment tragic.

Had he been given and accepted the Truth, The Land would be a bit different
(or he would have been assassinated).
Tragic.

He fought for the rights of [his] people in The Land. He was wrong in
attempting to create a Palestinian state because those of the nations who
want a part in The Land must enjoin themselves with Israel (according to
Torah).
Tragic.

He was wrong in allowing/encouraging terrorism against innocent bystanders.
Tragic.

Israel is wrong in creating an Us-Them dichotomy in the Land. The nation of
Israel is wrong in disassociating with Jewish people who've accepted [a]
Messiah who was born, died, and resurrected 2,000 years ago.
Tragic.

Until Israel remembers their captivity in Egypt, remembers the agony of
being segregated and murdered and demeaned, and recognizes the HE who was
pierced, there will be no peace for them. Everything I do is for the love of
God, Israel/Jerusalem/Israeli/Jewish Person, and my neighbor... and in that
order.

I wonder if The Land is going to be better off now that Arafat has died.
After all, Israel had a hard time keeping up with Arafat's footmen. Imagine
what it'll be like if the horsemen arrive.

So what makes his death any more tragic than the deaths of every other lost
soul? Tell me, would you rather he had lived longer to slaughter more
innocent victims? Please also tell me, do you love Israel at all? Izzy
