AP reports: "Israel rejected on Thursday a U.S. demand to freeze all construction in West Bank Jewish settlements to encourage peace talks, deepening a dispute with the Obama administration that has the hard-line Israeli government increasingly on edge."
Comment: Israel continues to build settlements in Israel! Ok, seriously, good for the Netanyahu government, I hope they stand firm. Too bad their U.S. ally is not standing with them. This could well be a turning point in history, a prelude to the "covenant with many" period in which the world turns against Israel and Jerusalem becomes a burdensome stone to the nations that seek to move it. As an American, my fear is that we will offend the author and protector of our liberty in whose providential care our leaders (in the past at least) committed our country. Nations and empires rise and fall around the fulcrum of history that is Jerusalem and I have no doubt that if the U.S. actively sides with those seeking to destroy Israel we will suffer the judgment of the God of Israel. This judgment will be just because, well, we should know better. What form that judgment takes and how quickly it is manifest is not known, but given recent earthquake activity, I would not be surprised if the California "big one" hit in close proximity to an ignominious sell-out of Israel.
