Ehud Olmert
(October 10, 2007) Top Israeli government officials have indicated that they might be willing to give parts of Jerusalem to the Palestinians in exchange for a peace agreement. It seems that Israeli Prime minister Ehud Olmert is determined to reach a peace accord with the Palestinians no matter what the cost. (Israel Signals Shift on Jerusalem Split) If such a concession is granted to the Palestinians then the consequences may be disastrous. For 1800 years the Jews ended their Passover seders with the phrase “Next year in Jerusalem”. In 1948 the Jews returned to Israel and in 1967 regained control of Jerusalem. Their dreams were realized. Now in the futile hope of achieving “peace” with the Arabs they might be willing to abandon their dream. The problem is that history has shown that when the Israelis give concessions to the Palestinians it emboldens the Muslim terrorists to seek more. Their stated goal is the destruction of Israel. If Jerusalem and its holy sites are abandoned to the Palestinians this will escalate the violence and terror even further. The terrorist organization Hamas would then have access to the Temple Mount from which they could launch further aggression on the Jews. Terrorist groups such as Hezbollah and Iranian-backed groups would be given full access to the center of Jerusalem. Who would keep them out? Such a scenario could lead to catastrophic consequences for the state of Israel. I find it hard to believe that the Israeli government would actually relinquish sovereignty over the Temple Mount and the Western Wall. However, if they do the events that follow may have biblical implications. In any event, this concession or any other concession will not lead to peace. Peace with the Israelis is not the goal of the Islamic-terrorist organizations.
