Religious Fanatics Taking Over Israel

The Chosen People are about to take off the gloves again:

In a surprise move, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu last week forced out his long-serving defence minister, Moshe Yaalon. As he stepped down, Mr Yaalon warned: “Extremist and dangerous elements have taken over Israel.”

He was referring partly to his expected successor: Avigdor Lieberman, leader of the far-right Yisrael Beiteinu party, whose trademark outbursts have included demands to bomb Egypt and behead disloyal Palestinian citizens.

But Mr Yaalon was also condemning extremism closer to home, in Mr Netanyahu’s Likud Party. Mr Yaalon is to take a break from politics. With fitting irony, his slot is to be filled on Likud’s backbenches by Yehuda Glick, a settler whose goal to destroy Jerusalem’s Al Aqsa mosque and replace it with a Jewish temple has the potential to set the Middle East on fire.

Israeli commentators pointed out that, with Mr Lieberman’s inclusion, the government will be the most extreme in Israel’s history - again.

French prime minister Manuel Valls, who began a visit to the region on Saturday, is likely to face an impregnable wall of government hostility as he tries to drum up interest in a French peace plan.

There is no Middle East "peace process". There never has been. Anyone who claims there is one is either a liar or a fool.

However, there is a plan for Israel to claim that which G-d promised to Abraham ... and a related plan to rebuild the Temple. That and that alone is driving politics in the region and in the US.

Some people (e.g., the "Tomorrow's World" crowd and the people around Senator Ted Cruz and his father) believe Christians soon shall rule the world, in partnership with the resurrected twelve Apostles of Jesus who will rule the twelve tribes of Israel. As a believer of the Bible, I have no doubt that is what will happen, but does ANYONE in Israel agree with that prophecy?

The only honest answer the undeluded can give to that question is a resounding NO. Nobody tells Israel what to do, including Christians. We are a piggy bank and cannon fodder helping them achieve THEIR goals, nothing more.

Like it or not, religious fanatics are taking over Israel. What should REALLY worry us is that similar religious fanatics have been running the US from the beginning.
