Abbas to push for Palestinian Statehood at the UN

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/44606988/ns/world_news-mideast_n_africa/

I'm not sure exactly why a suppossedly Democratic administration is telling the Palestinians they should not seek recognition at the UN.  Perhaps it is because Obama fears igniting a right-wing firestorm in the US that would unite the now fragmented Republicans around the idea of US-Israeli relations.  It could be that what we really see here is that Israel doesn't want a Palestinian state next door, that the Israeli government and their wealthy handlers like the staus quo for some reason.  That would be one flavor of conspiracy anyway.  Another might suggest that the most powerful nations in the world - including the US - don't want to make the UN into more than they know it is or want it to be.  There is an idea given by some that the UN is nothing but a complicated deception wherein large countries retain hegemony through the Security Council while small countries appear to be involved.  The idea that the five permanent members of the security council have the right to vetoe anything they deem unsuitable to their interests undermines in every way the idea of the UN as a burgeoning world democracy.  However, we must certainly understand that if it were ever viewed that the UN could by majority vote override the sovereignty of a member state it would be seen for the ruse it is.  Un inveterventions to stop genocide would seem to fit within a humanitarian framework and rights of the willing to oppose tyranny, but even this is not so black and white unless genocide is well-defined and opposed everywhere it happens.

So who actually controls the UN, American foreign policy?  It appears likely that the same money powers that founded and sustained Israel, manufactured the UN, and now control majority influence if not interest in practically every major company in the world, and who also manufactured the world central banking cartel, do not want their creations thinking outside the box.  In America the John Hagee types will be telling the evangelical sheep that Palestinian statehood is an insult to God's promise to Israel but is it really?  We live under a New Covenant, a covenant under which Paul has said 'Israel is beloved for the Father's sake.'  But the New Testament makes no mention of Israel as holding special status with respect to the gospel, of which it is said 'God commands ALL men EVERYWHERE to repent and believe in the One He has sent.'  It is currently illegal in Israel for a christian to attempt to convert a Jew.  John Hagee seems conveniently to forget that.

Another prevailing theory suggests that most, if not all of this, is revealed in the history of the Israeli flag.  Do you know that the star of David appears nowhere as a symbol of Judaism or  of King David before the 16th century?  Do you further know that when the flag was proposed a large number of Jews rejected it because they knew it was not an ancient symbol for Israel but rather a symbol from the Jewish mysticism called kabbalah which like Freemasonry claims ancient roots but does not appear until the Middle Ages as an outgrowth of European esoteric traditions?  A large number of Jews wanted the Menorah as the symbol on the flag but this was shot down by interests which can still be identified to this day.

American evangelicals are told that miraculously Israel sprang from the ground in 1948 in fulfillment of prophecy.  I do not deny that this modern Israel is the fulfillment of prophecy.  What I do deny is that it sprang up overnight.  The truth is that a prominent member of the Rothschild family began funding and organizing settlement in Palestine in the last decades of the 1800's.  This same powerful banking family built the Israeli Knesset the architecture of which is laden with occult symbolism.  These same Jewish occultists have become influential in Hollywood and their real views on the holiness they are called to by the Law is plain in the films they make for the 'enjoyment' of the world.

These are all facts but are they only circumstantial evidence?  I think so.  Compelling arugments from some perspective maybe, but is that how anyone should make decisions, by the guidance of conspiracy theories?  The christian has to decide through study and seeking the Lord, and through the wisdom of many counselors what to think here.  Personally I tend to hold to the view that I am responsible to promote what is good and stand against what is not good even if there is no narrative to the story, using biblical and christian principles as the ultimate authority. 

Because of this I would say that it is bad for the American government to come out so strongly against the aspirations of a people for recognition.  We should not push back into a dysfunctional framework under a dysfunctional relationship.  This has plainly failed.  On the other hand I share the trepidation of many who would wonder what it really means if the United Nations can vote on the statehood of any nation and have it be binding on other nations.

I suspect that the real answer is to remove the layer of supposed global governance we see in the United Nations, the IMF, the World Bank, and along with it the central banking system as a whole.  If the US were to lead in this move, restoring the sovereignty of nations, and therefore the responsibility of nations, it would be better for the US.  I am not sure this will help to solve the Arab-Israeli Crisis.

Should Mr. Abbas seek redress of grievances at the UN?  If he is a good leader of his people he should lead them in peace and seek all available means to right whatever wrongs he sees them subject to.  Should Israel be pleased that the opinion of the world might become a stick which chastens them?  No, Israel has lived under the nearly constant threat of attack since 1948.  They may not have been formed in a way that showed respect for the Palestinians, but now after so many decades the right of Israel peacably to exist cannot be questioned any more than the right of the Palestinians to seek statehood.  These two ancient peoples both have significant reason to love the Promised Land and nobody in the world should deny this.

In that light, Mr. Obama, rather than trying to view these efforts as something America has to try to control, I believe we should let the debate come to the UN.  And with it encourage Israel and others to develop a reform agenda for the UN that helps it become something more moderate in its politics.  If this cannot be done, if the UN cannot be made to fit as a moderator and forum for exchange, if all it can be is the platform for a world agenda of abortion and carbon taxation covering a quest for financial hegemony, then the UN is doomed to fail sooner or later.

In fact, one has to ask plainly who really benefits from any notion of global governance?  Do the common people benefit?  Who has benefitted from the existence of the World Bank? Has poverty been alleviated?  Has democracy been nurtured?  The American taxpayers typically do not want to be on the hook for the lion's share of funding for these 'global' governance organizations whose operational values are so different and even opposed to the values of the American Middle Class.

Israel must come to put its faith in the Lord, as we all must, and according to prophecy a remnant will.  However, it is my belief that the current Jewish nation is not existing so much because of God's direct approval - though certainly the Sovereign of the Universe has allowed it, even prophesied it - as it is by the subsidization by a very large and profoundly entitled money power which lays claim to Jewish heritage.  In other words Mr. President, Israel is owned, bought and paid for, a project of the money powers for reasons that are probably not part of the public record. 

This notion that there is something funny with the maatza does not justify hatred toward the people of Israel or any attempt to destroy or undermine Israel as if such things could right the wrongs of the Palestinian displacement.  Neither did the creation of this modern state of Israel right the wrongs of the Holocaust. 

Going forward these peoples must find a way to live together in peace.  If it is they who must negotiate then they also must find the way forward.  International intervention if needed, but international efforts which amount to other mature nations trying to reconcile those who refuse to take responsibility for their own peace is a pointless bit of theatre, a waste of time and money.  Mr. Abbas has the right to petition the UN on behalf of his people.  Israel has the right to oppose it.  And that is where we sit.  What comes next is not completely under the control of any human agency.

May the Lord bless us in the knowledge of Him.
