Ceasefire Getting Shakier By the Minute
Some of the reserve IDF soldiers are being sent out of Lebanon, the residents of the north are starting to go back home, and there are those in the government who are taking out the knives and starting to attack each other for the failures of the war - all signs that Israel is going back to its usual routine.
On the other hand there are worrying signs that this period of time is just a short break from the fighting, and that it will start up again soon. Ynetnews.com has their report here that Hizballah is announcing publicly that they will not disarm, and the IDF Chief of Staff said today that we may have to stop pulling our troops out of Lebanon.
I just listened to an interview with Member of Knesset Effie Eitam, one of the current Knesset members with relatively recent IDF experience. He is urging those in charge to make their criticism of the IDF both professional and constructive, in order to learn and plan for the next stage of fighting - which he predicts will start in just a few days.
I hope that Effie Eitam is wrong, but I feel that he is right. My fear is that the nutcase in Iran wants to celebrate August 22nd by bashing Israel - and is urging Nasrallah to give it another go. Waiting a little bit until there are more civilians in the way - both Israelis in the north and Lebanese in the south, would be just his way of operating.

i'm finding it amazing that france has offered to send troops in and now they're trying to back out, and they're saying it could take up to a year for them to deploy troops.
and we've stupidly agreed to hold to this ceasefire.
so here's a question...when will someone call for an election to replace olmert????
You better think about where you can move to away from the Middle East.
G_d has forsaken your people. In every other war Israel has been in since 1948 G_d has blessed your people with miracles to help you win, but not this war.
Why?
I believe it's because of the tolerance that has been seen in your nation for homosexuality, BSDM, and other immoral behavior.
Chronicles 24:20
New International Version (NIV)
20 Then the Spirit of G_d came upon Zechariah son of Jehoiada the priest. He stood before the people and said, "This is what G_d says: 'Why do you disobey the LORD's commands? You will not prosper. Because you have forsaken the LORD, he has forsaken you.'
jerusalemjo - I don't think we will be given the choice of whether to "show" or not!
bec- everyone knows we need new elections - but we don't know if we have the luxury of six months of paralysis that elections would bring
dwb - Olmert chickened out, plain and simple. I don't think anyone really believes that the forces in south Lebanon will take away Hizballah's weapons, whether Lebanese or UNIFIL. Israel wants more time to prepare for the next fight. I have my theories about what this preparation consists of, but I don't want to write about it here.
annonymous - G-d never forsakes the Jewish people, even when we sin. We get punished, sometimes badly, but we are never wiped out. I'm not moving anywhere soon!
Leviticus [18:22-28]
Leviticus states, "You shall not lie down with a male, as with a woman: this is an abomination. For the nations, whom I am sending away from before you, have defiled themselves with all these things. And the land became defiled, and I visited its sin upon it, and the land vomited out its inhabitants. … For the people of the land who preceded you, did all of these abominations, and the land became defiled. And let the land not vomit you out for having defiled it, as it vomited out the nation that preceded you.'"
Judges 10:13
(New International Version)
13 But you have forsaken me and served other gods, so I will no longer save you.
(In this caue the modern day equvalent of 'gods' would be disobeying G_d on the issue of homosexuality and other perverted sexual behaviors. You have forsaken Him, that's the point.)
Kings 9:9
(New International Version)
9 People will answer, 'Because they have forsaken the LORD their G_d, who brought their fathers out of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, worshiping and serving them—that is why the LORD brought all this disaster on them.' "
1 Kings 11:33
(New International Version)
33 I will do this because they have forsaken me and worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Molech the god of the Ammonites, and have not walked in my ways, nor done what is right in my eyes, nor kept my statutes and laws as David, Solomon's father, did.
Chronicles 24:24
(New International Version)
24 Although the Aramean army had come with only a few men, the LORD delivered into their hands a much larger army. Because Judah had forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers, judgment was executed on Joash.
2 Chronicles 28:6
In one day Pekah son of Remaliah killed a hundred and twenty thousand soldiers in Judah—because Judah had forsaken the LORD, the G_d of their fathers.
Jeremiah 2:17
17 Have you not brought this on yourselves by forsaking the LORD your G_d when he led you in the way?
Deuteronomy 31:17
On that day I will become angry with them and forsake them; I will hide my face from them, and they will be destroyed. Many disasters and difficulties will come upon them, and on that day they will ask, 'Have not these disasters come upon us because our G_d is not with us?'
Joshua 24:20
If you forsake the LORD and serve foreign gods, he will turn and bring disaster on you and make an end of you, after he has been good to you."
2 Chronicles 15:2
He went out to meet Asa and said to him, "Listen to me, Asa and all Judah and Benjamin. The LORD is with you when you are with him. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.
Ezra 8:22
I was ashamed to ask the king for soldiers and horsemen to protect us from enemies on the road, because we had told the king, "The gracious hand of our G_d is on everyone who looks to him, but his great anger is against all who forsake him."
Since 1993, homosexuals have been allowed to openly serve in the IDF, including special units.
Has Israel won any wars since 1993?

This is the first war you lost.
Why is it?
Before you had God's Miracles to help you win but this time no miracles? What happened?
Well perhaps this...

When Israel embraces G_d nothing and no one can stop Israel.
But when Israel turns her back on G_d then he lifts his protection from your country and turns His back on you until you return to Him.
It has always been that way.
