Prelude To War?

President Obama's efforts to forge an historic Middle East peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians kicked off in Washington Thursday (9/2) with opening ceremonial greetings and statements from all participants.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and President Obama greeted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas as a prelude to direct, face to face negotiations for peace in the Middle East.

As the talks get underway, Iran's proxy forces in the region are hard at work attempting to derail any peace agreements. Hamas terrorists have conducted two terror attacks in as many days in the West Bank region of Israel. Along Israel's northern border, intelligence reports indicate Hezbollah troops have moved into strike possitions ready to spring an attack into northern Israel. in an effort to sabatoge any peace accords between Palestinians and Israel.

Tropical Hurricane Earl is churning its way towards America's eastern seabord as the opening ceremonies of the Mideast peace talks get underway in Washington.

Hurricane Earl is heading towards the outer banks of North Carolina where it is expected to turn more northerly and hug the Atlantic coastline of America. The predicted storm track suggests the storm will make a near-miss of Washington, D.C. but the city will still feel strong effects of the monster storm which is now rated as a Category 4 storm. Any slight deviation of the storm's track could put the city into a bolls eye for a direct hit on the city.

We find it more than just a bit ironic that such a monster storm would show up just as Mideast peace talks get underway. Every time the U.S. tries to stage peace talks something very negative happens to the USA as if God is sending a signal to the United States.

The Hamas terrorist organization, which also controls the Gaza Strip flexed its muscles inside Israel on Monday night (Aug 31).

Hamas claimed responsibility for a 'drive-by' shooting attack killing 4 Israelis on the West Bank area which Hamas does not control

The attack was intended to show that its rival, the Palestinian Authority and its Fatah Brigade no longer controls the West Bank. It also serves as a challenge to hezbollah to not wait for Hamas to start the war, but to take appropriate action soon or else face the reality of the honor of striking the first blow of a war to destroy Israel.

In the wake of the Hamas terror strike in Israel's West Bank, Defense Minister Ehud Barak (head of Israel's liberal Labor Party) warned Israeli settlers to not attempt to seek justice but instead let Israel's military bring about justice. Barak pledged that the IDF will do everything it can to bring Hamas to justice. His statement implies that Israel is about to go to war with Hamas even on the eve of peace negotiations with the Palestinian Authority in Washington, D.C.

The Defense Minister's comments hinting that war was imminent should be underscored by the fact that Barak is the leader of the liberal, Labor Party which has historically been thought of as "The Peace Party" always willing to appease the Arabs. His remarks suggest a sudden, radical shift in strategic thinking that has now tilted towards military conflict as being necessary. His shift in thinking may be dues to expectations that this latest development will swing Israeli public opinion overwhelmingly in favor of war and against any further peace negotiations. We suspect that this is not quite yet the case, but if the IDF chief suspects an Hezbollah attack is imminent, that will certainly tirgger Israeli public opinion for not only war but "all-out" war with no-holds barred action by the IDF, including if necessary the use of nuclear weapons should a worst case scenario emerge. I suspect we're seeing the beginning stage of a sea-change shift in Israeli public opinion supporting war and truly torpedoeing President Obama's peace talks.

Our intelligence sources report that the attack was instigated by Iran as a preliminary action that will culminate with a massive military attack by Hezbollah along Israel's northern border with Lebanon. This may well be viewed by historians as the start of the Magog War as prophesied by Ezekiel in chapters 38 and 39. Why? Hezbollah's main area of operations is in the terrain described by Ezekiel as the battleground area - the Bekaa Valley which will become a burial ground for the forces of Magog. Some Rabbinical scholars in Israel have noted ancient rabbinical writings indicate that Ezekiel's assistant scribes wrote that Ezekiel had explained to them that the prophecies referred to the people living in the Land of Magog which Ezekiel described to them as being what is today the far eastern provinces of Iran as well as western Pakistan and western Afghanistan. IF true, this means that Magog is Iran, and not Russia which is thought by many conservative Christian prophecy "experts" to be Russia.

In an interview with Israel's Haaretz Daily Newspaper, Defense Minister Ehud Barak revealed that Prime Minister Netanyahu is prepared to give up parts of Jerusalem in exchange for peace. Barak noted that Jerusalem's Arab neighborhoods will become part of a Palestinian state with a "special regime" to govern the holy sites in Jerusalem.

This is a stunning revelation because Netanyahu campaigned on a promise to never give up an inch of Jeruslaem to the Arabs. Netanyahu claimed that Jerusalem - all of it - belongs to Israel and the Jews, not the Arabs. It may well be that Netanyahu is prepared to negotiate such an idea with the subtle understanding that the talks will amount to nothing because they will be derailed by a war in which Israel will be victorious or utterly destroyed. Either way, his peace talk negotiating points will become a moot issue once the bullets start flying and thus whatever is being negotiated will be inconsequential in the long run.

The bottom line is that such a statement may reflect a PR position designed to give Israel international support as being reasonable while the Arabs are viewed as unreasonable - once Hezbollah and Iran start the shooting, which may come as the peace talks begin making the comments about Jerusalem a moot point.

In an effort to display support for the upcoming peace talks in Washington, which begin Thursday (9/1) the Palestinian Authority has rounded up 200 suspected Hamas members that may have been involved in the drive-by shooting attack near Hebron that killed 4 Israelis.

Hamas claims responsibility for the attack and is seen by some analysts as perhaps a strategic move synchronized by Iran as a prelude to a surprise attack by Hezbollah against Israel. Intelligence sources in Washington and the Middle East are reporting ominous movement of Hezbollah forces along Israel's northern border with Lebanon. Hezbollah appears to be preparing for a major military assault against Israel including commando operations deep inside Israel.

The Palestinian Authority and its Fatah military wing have become bitter enemies with Hamas since Hamas took over the Gaza Strip after a tumultuous election two years ago. The PA and Hamas have become embroiled in a near civil war battling for control of the Palestinian people. The latest PA round up is bound to stir more militant action between the two groups, especially as the PA leadership begins a new round of peace talks with Israel in Washington starting on Thursday (9/1).

The Hamas Drive-by shooting attack in the West Bank has shocked, stunned and triggered a national sense of rage and anger as well mourning.

The attack is bound to have political consequences within the Israeli political arena. From what we're picking up in Israeli media, there seems to a developing consensus that not only is war inevitable but that Israel must not hold back this time and once and for all put an end to her enemies on her borders.

A Turkish daily newspaper is reporting that the Obama Administration has threatened to shun a joint military exercise with Turkey if Turkey bans Israel from the joint military exercises.

The Obama Administration's move is viewed as a warning to Turkey that a rejection of Israel could lead to Turkey being ostracized from NATO and cut-off from economic ties with the West. Such a development would leave Turkey no choice but to join in a proposed economic union with Iran as Iran seeks to establish an Islamic Economic Union much like the basis for the EU.

Such a move would also align Turkey with the alliance prophesied by Ezekiel concerning a Magog alliance that leads to the Magog War against Israel. Yes, seem to be lining up for the fulfillment of Ezekie's prophecies in the near future.

An article on Iran's semi-official PressTV website features an article about an Iranian group claiming that most of humanity wants Israel annihilated. The group claims the only exceptions to this opinon come from the EU nations and the United States. All other nations and people want to see Israel destroyed.

The article begins with a quote from the Iranian Association ofr the Liberation of the holy al-Quds which states:

"The US and European Union, as staunch allies of the occupying Zionist regime (Israel), and certain Arab and Muslim governments are openly and covertly supporting the illegitimate Israeli regime and its extensive crimes, particularly the oppression of the Palestinian people," the association said in a statement on Wednesday, two days before the International Quds Day."

According to A-O intellegience sources, Iraqi Kurdish leaders are seeking a military alliance with Israel as fears mount that a Mideast War could result in an attempt by Iran, Syria and Turkey to annihilate Iraqi Kurds in any upcoming war.

Our sources indicate that such talks have been kept hush-hush to avoid starting a civil war between the Iraqi Kurds and Iraqi Shiites aligned with Iran. Even so, as back-channel talks have developed, Kurdish leaders have quietly begun a PR campaign among the Kurdish population to accept Israel as not only allies but as true friends of the Kurdish nation. In fact, there is even discussion and talk that perhaps the Kurds are in fact, the 10 Lost Tribes of Israel or at least close cousins via Abraham.

One public indicator of this public relations effort is a Kurdish magazine that is promoting Israel as a friend to the Kurds. It is promoting the idea of close economic and cultural relations with Israel and hoping that some day the Kurds can have an independent nation which encourages Israeli tourism and economic development as a summer vacation nation. For more on the Kurdish efforts to ally with Israel, LINK HERE.

The public relations effort makes sense. Our latest A-O Intelligence Digest report (published in our A-O Insider Report, Donor's Section) provides an broad analysis of the likelihood for civil war in Iraq once a larger war breaks out between Iran and Israel. With that report as background it should come as no surprise to A-O Digest readers that the Kurds would seek an alliance with Israel, if for no other reason than to let Israel know that they are not Israel's enemies.
