Turkish Flotilla Vs. Israel

On Memorial Day, Israeli commandos swarmed the Turkish flotilla of six ships which allegedly contained humanitarian supplies aimed for Gaza. Israeli intelligence dropped the ball when it came to the fact that those “humanitarian workers” might be violent. Armed with knives, pipes and various forms of propelled objects that cause injury, they severely beat up and injured ten Israeli commandos. What’s most amazing is that these commandos were only armed with “paint-ball rifles” such as those used to disperse rioters and a hand gun. After some serious physical attacks on these commandos, they were finally given permission to use their handguns. They fired rounds at the legs of their attackers and drove them away.

As if this wasn’t bad enough, there are now two more ships being launched from Turkey this week to the same blockage where Israel has repeatedly ordered them not to enter. Israel has clearly stated they can aim their humanitarian ships to the Port of Ashdod, which is right next to Gaza. It is believed these ships could be led by war ships as well as fighter jets from Turkey–so much for the chilly relationship between Israel and Turkey which is now icy cold.

In the midst of these new Israeli crises, we continue to read headlines such as:

“Israel braces for Turkish, Hizballah, Hamas reprisals…”
“Syria has 1,000 ballistic missiles zeroed on Israeli targets…”
“Iran test-fires same missiles as handed to Hizballah…”
“(PA Minister) Abbas: We deal with U.S., Not Israel…”

What’s my opinion you ask? Thanks for asking.

I have been in a kibbutz immediately next to the Gaza border which abuts Egypt many times. The sounds I’ve heard by day and especially at night are quite telling. There hardly was a night when I wouldn’t hear constant automatic gunfire, explosions, fighter jets and helicopters flying overhead.

Every single night, after the loud chanting of Moslem clerics over loud speakers, I knew what would happen right after that. No, the worshippers didn’t come out passive and peacefully but fuming with violence, hatred and mocking Israeli soldiers patrolling our narrow border between that Palestinian village and our kibbutz. I think the worst night I had was when from midnight until the dawn, radical, terror-bent Palestinian Moslems made all kinds of noises in form of waves. The noise makers were lined up against the border fence in the south-end of the village, as far as I could hear, and continue in northerly waves all night long. They made different noises such as roosters crowing and donkeys hee-hawing. They ended their noises with the squawking of large black crows at the dawning of the new day. At this point they synchronized their squawking with the actual noises these crows would make every morning. It gave me the creeps because of their proximity. I thought they’d invaded our kibbutz for sure.

So what am I trying to say? I am asking you, why do you think this flotilla was at this blockage at armed with food, medicine and cement? Why at this particular time? Simple!

Everyone has heard reports that Israel will be attacked this summer by the Hizballah terrorists, by Lebanon, Syria, Turkey and possibly Iran. We also know that Gaza Palestinians do not need food nor medical supplies because Israel provides all this to them. But in their anticipation of war against Israel, they know Israel will cut supplies instantly. They know they’ll need surplus food, water and medical supplies for their casualties.

But what about all that cement? It’s been confirmed over and over again that these Palestinians continue to dig tunnels; so they need concrete for their smuggling underground canals. And…they also need it to build stronger concrete bunkers against Israeli raids, rockets and missiles.

So what can we do? There are thousands and perhaps millions of Pro-Israel Zionists all across our hemisphere. There are also Sephardic Crypto Jews into the millions in the Americas. We need to mobilize ourselves in prayer first. We need to pray the prophecies God has in His Word against these enemies of “the apple of God’s eye,” Israel. After all, the voice of one calling in the Desert to prepare the way for the Lord can now be heard louder and is more urgent than ever!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem,

Dell
