Israel’s Required Territorial Appeasement for Peace

Giving up land in the hope of peace has never worked. When was the last time giving into a bully guaranteed peace or safety? Never, it only allows the bully more latitude for further conquest. Prime Minister Chamberlain in the late thirties tried it and allowed Hitler to take Austria, The Sudetenland and finally Czechoslovakia. He marched into these countries without losing a single soldier, piece of military hardware or firing a single shot. Did this appeasement work? Not at all, it actually gave the Nazis more of everything they would require later on to do battle with the very people, Britain and France, who had given away free nations to appease the Nazi thugs. As an aside, in Jerusalem the Arab League was trying to use the same technique against the British Mandate who had promised the Jews a Homeland. They also were suggesting that if the Jews were removed from Palestine the peace would be restored. Interestingly the British had first asked the Arabs if they would like to settle the area we know as Israel and and the Arabs said it was uninhabitable. This same area was soon  populated by Jews who irrigated and planted and soon the dry desert was flourishing. The Arabs seen this and flocked from the desert to the area by the thousands.  It had become a place to be desired and because of their long standing enmity (see Esau & Jacob) with the Jews they began to put the political squeeze on the British to stop immigration of Jewish descendants and thus put a stop to a Jewish Homeland.

Skip ahead to now. The only way peace will be obtained in the Middle East is, as the Bible says, when Jesus comes back and slaughters the army of the antichrist. Other than that it might be possible to cool the flames of the Middle East somewhat to where the inhabitants, both Jews and gentile can live in relative peace and safety, but only relative to the rest of the world. That is, it will be a bumpy ride to be sure. The only answer is to allow the Israelis to rule the entirety of the Land (including Jordan) and insist any Arabs living within Israeli borders adhere to Israeli Laws with lawbreakers subject to Israeli courts. Any and all appeasement would and will only add credence to a misleading premise that the Palestinian people have some former ownership, which simply is not true. The truth is Abbas and his Palestinians won’t be happy until the last Jew sinks below the frothy waves of the Mediterranean. All the roads maps to peace in the Middle East will ultimately end at a great gulf fixed and the only bridge that will manage to span this abyss is Jesus Christ.
