God's Unholy Land

God's Unholy Land
By Tennessee Elijah

EWNR – The eyes of wise political leaders on this corrupted planet are
now focusing their attention in the direction of Israel. Unexpectedly, without malice or forethought, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon dissolved Parliament and called for early new elections.

Thousands of high-ranking, somewhat amazed loyal Israelis became dumfounded when learning that Sharon -- with his minority coalition -- would be unable to govern effectively now that his Likud Party of 55 seats in the 120-seat Parliament has failed to support the noble agenda which had brought him to power in the first place.

A narrow path has opened for the hardline, hawkish, politically astute, former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to challenge Sharon for the top spot in the Likud. Ben, eagerly, yet depicting earnest humility, reluctantly agreed to serve as foreign minister until he is elected Prime Minister again
at some point in the unpredictable future.

The good-natured, strong-willed Sharon is said to have said to someone that his actions were forced upon him because he is guilty of having too much "honor" to succumb to political blackmail -- the result which would have been detrimental to Israel's remarkable relationship now being enjoyed with the noble Republican-controlled Bush administration.

Meanwhile, the far-right, ultraconservative, nit-picking National Union leader Yisrael Beiteinu has been accused of making many ridiculous political demands which will result in a narrow right-wing government if Sharon is foolish enough to capitulate.

Grinning in a friendly manner, the prime minister almost laughed with glee when he said Yisrael's idea would never be feasible, because as a consistent supporter of a wide government, meaning support of the Labor Party whenever possible, any normal Jew in their right mind joining forces with irresponsible radical liberal extremists who are favoring creature comforts more than survival of the homeland would be seen as having made a very desperate, suicidal, political move. "This is crazy talk" someone was
heard saying in the middle of a coffee shop crowd.

As the world knows, including Sharon's alter-ego Yasser Arafat, it was Labor's notorious decision to pull out of governing coalitions that set off this latest horrendous political chain of events. "Even our God is astounded by this impulsive, incredible whim that has caused the government's untimely breakup," according to Christian leaders of the world who lack confidence in the famous roadmap ideas.

The National Union -- after carefully taking all reports into consideration -- is making new demands, calling for a rejection of Washington's desires for a peaceful Mideast in favor of immediate aggressive military action against the Palestinian Authority.

Sharon with his usual friendly smile on his face, politely explained that he is not anxious to jeopardize Israel's friendship with the United States by giving in to political extortion -- unless it is absolutely necessary.

"Elections are the last thing this country needs right now," Sharon casually blurted out during a press conference. "Having an election rather than preserving the life of Arafat is the less of two evils," red-faced angry anonymous voices were heard screaming day and night!

The respected leader of the Labor Party, Benjamin Ben-Eliezer, mockingly discounted Sharon's casual criticism and ignored other dissenters who still think peace in the Middle East is possible, saying at the top of a loud, raspy voice: "Contempt for the humble poor is transforming this holy place into an unholy land."

Ben was pointing his finger at Sharon, blatantly accusing him of being
too busy fighting against suicide bombers to care about normal day-to-day lifestyle requirements for poor children, poor students, poor retired farmers and elderly pensioners, poor single parents, and poor starving people who
are not allowed to live in luxurious Jewish settlements.

"Blame Sharon, not me," Ben was yelling while waving his hands wildly, showing frustration over the governments' inability to please all of the
people all of the time. "Sharon is the one who wants to fight wars instead of caring about growing disparity between the poor and the poor."

Labor officials who suddenly decided to agree with Ben are making demands to force restricted funding of Jewish settlements by slashing more than $145 million useless expenditures from the military budget -- thinking the money can be used more efficiently for the purpose of giving much needed assistance to poor Jews and poor Arabs.

Ben-Eliezer and his loyalist Labor group have begun campaign strategies which will draw worldwide attention to Israel's weakening economy, Israel's vulnerable borders, dependency on the United States and Israel's lack of respect from Arab neighbors -- rather than focusing on defense issues. "Fighting against aggressive Palestinians throughout history has been
a waste of time, money and blood," an off-duty official spokesperson
was overheard saying off the record while standing under a tree off in
the distance near a group of Russian tourists with obsolete video cameras.

The other Ben, Benjamin Netanyahu, seems to believe Israel is in a crisis because of bleeding hearts who do not understand serious security situations as they relate to the new international war against terrorism -- not to mention the growing threat of chemical, biological, or nuclear scud attacks from Saddam or his loyal supporters in Syria.

Violence in Palestinian areas continue even though Shimon Perez did his best to curb delusional objectives designed by those who wish to destroy Israel. Expecting more blood to flow on both sides of this historic conflict when Arafat realizes that bickering and confusion in Jerusalem weakens Sharon's resolve. World leaders are fearing what might happen next.

Will the Netanyahu philosophy, "kill them before they kill us," take effect before May of 2003 or May of 2007?

In the Divided United States of America, Christians are asking, "What would Jesus do if He had been born a German instead of a Jew?" Most people of good conscience have trouble believing that LOVING ENEMIES is feasible when it comes to folks like Yasser or Sharon, Saddam or George. Most people in most nations do not seem to be wondering the same thing that Tennessee Elijah has been wondering...

"Why can't the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Ishmael understand simple historic facts? If not for Sarai and Hagar,
if not for Life, the 'covenant' would never be justification
for murderous hate during these end of days?"

What can God do to make
"God's Unholy Land" holy again?
