Iran Deal 2

I’m counting on Sidney Powell and Rudy Guliani overturning the fraud election, for many reasons.

A whole laundry list of things will be in peril if “Biden/Harris” take power (even though we all know they won’t be the ones pulling the strings).

One of the biggest threats we all face is the prospect of Joe Biden appeasing his masters in Tehran by rejoining the diabolical “Iran Nuclear Deal” that was crafted by his old boss, the Marxist Barack Obama. The deal of course (with the negotiating help of John Kerry) would allow the Iranians to keep working their nuclear program, and enable them to build nukes.

That made it all the more odd that Benjamin Netanyahu would engage Biden just after the election, going so far as congratulating him, as if Biden is truly the president-elect. He is not.

Yet Netanyahu is also a consummate politician, and was no doubt covering his bases. Of course if Trump remains in office, Israel can rest much easier. That Trump has “unfollowed” Netanyahu on Twitter is an indication that some repair must be done to the relationship, and I don’t blame Trump one bit.

This week, according to the Jerusalem Post:

“Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sent a clear message to President-elect Joe Biden on Sunday that he would push back against American efforts to rejoin the Iran deal.

“’Do not return to the previous [Iran] nuclear deal,’ Netanyahu said at a memorial service for first prime minister David Ben-Gurion. ‘We must keep to an uncompromising policy to ensure that Iran does not develop nuclear weapons.’”

(Notice that even the JPost has joined the media bandwagon by declaring Biden the winner. The Supreme Court in a few weeks will have something to say about that.)

Biden has claimed he will work “to strengthen and extend it, while more effectively pushing back against Iran’s other destabilizing activities.” An apparent choice for secretary of state, Chris Coons, has also claimed they will work to ensure there are strict guidelines for the Iranians to adhere to.

All that is poppycock.

We are now seeing the mask being pulled of the hideous creature known as the Globalist Deep State, with even election payoffs swirling. It’s now apparent that the Iranian nuclear deal, crafted with the help of American elected officials, involves payoffs.

And Bibi knows who he is dealing with. He’s known Biden for 40 years and knows he is a career grifter disloyal even to his own country. Israel would be thrown to the sharks from Day 1.

Not surprisingly, Iran has already demanded to be paid for financial hits incurred after President Trump’s sanctions hurt the regime badly. So Biden would sending planeloads of cash again.

All this is more indication that we cannot and must not put our hopes and faith in politicians. Only the Prince of Peace is worthy of our gaze and our pleas.

And remember—when you become fearful of the future—our future is glorious, because our King is coming.

Erekat, Dead

As we are living in an increasing malevolent world, even the death of a single individual is controversial.

This week, PLO/PA negotiator Saeb Erekat, from Jericho, died from Coronavirus. He had been in an Israeli hospital for a month; the 65-year-old succumbed after a tough fight.

I well remember in 1991, when President George H.W. Bush pressured the Israelis into sitting down at the table with the arch-terrorist Yasser Arafat. Erekat, then a young, brash Palestinian activist, wore a keffiyeh, the checkered scarf worn by the blood-soaked Arafat, as one of his symbols of “revolution.” Erekat sat there, smug, smirking at Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli negotiators. Erekat knew that his American handlers were on his side and so he felt emboldened.

From the left-wing Economist:

“It was 1991, and dozens of men were huddled around a long white table in Spain, clad in the formless dark suits that are de rigueur at diplomatic functions. Only one stood out: a bearded, bespectacled university professor, shoulders draped in a keffiyeh, the chequered scarf that has become a symbol of Palestinian nationalism. Saeb Erekat caused a stir at the Madrid conference, the first direct talks between Israel and the Palestinians. Binyamin Netanyahu, then a mere spokesman for the Israeli delegation, suggested that his dress was a ‘provocation’. But, for Mr Erekat, the summit would start a diplomatic process that became his life’s work.”

The Bush Sr. administration was, in my view, anti-Semitic. James Baker and others were notoriously anti-Israel. They forced Israel to negotiate with the terrorist group, under the delusion that “land for peace” would actually work. Instead, Israel endured 25 years of murder and harassment. The Bush team didn’t care, nor did subsequent presidents.

And yet, think about what happened to Erekat. He is what I call a terrorist in a suit. Just as lethal as homicide bombers, but far more subtle because he is invited to Washington events and he has a Ph.D. He was just as intense with his hatred for Jews as a member of Hamas.

Various news outlets behave as if the PA will be dealing with a new U.S. administration in January, but that is premature of course. Still, the typical jockeying for position among Palestinians to take over Erekat’s cushy diplomatic perks is going on in earnest.

Out of all this, though, I cannot stop thinking about the man. This I mean in terms of where he is now. I always think this way when an evil man or woman dies. Fresh out of his brashness and evil intentions, I wonder what first conscious thoughts Erekat had when he died.

This is why we shouldn’t dwell too much on the here-and-now in terms of justice here or there. Men like Erekat seem to wield a lot of power in life, and he was a menace for decades. But God’s justice flows when He wants it to flow. The Lord catches up with all men eventually, and for too many, it’s too late.

Much was made of Israel’s decision to treat Erekat. They have treated many Palestinians over the years, including active terrorists. Very honestly, I struggle with this, but most of my Israeli friends are unwavering in their commitment to preserve life, no matter whose life.

In 2017, I interviewed many Israeli medical personnel in Tel Aviv. To a man and woman, they said that their only priority upon receiving a critical patient was to save that patient’s life. They won’t budge from that.

Yet the Palestinians for decades have murdered Jews with abandon. The leadership has a collective reprobate mind. I’m not sure I could treat a terrorist.

But then that’s why the Lord doesn’t have me in the medical field.

Hard as it is sometimes, we should commit to pray for evil leaders while they are alive. As Saeb Erekat has learned, after that it’s too late.
