The Terrorism of
the Nation of Israel (my title)

The book of Jasher is not Scripture, but it is an old
history book that is referred to in Joshua 10:13 and again in 2 Samuel 1:18.
Its account of the story of Esau is of interest to us now, because it shows in
chapter 27 that Esau killed Nimrod, the king of Babylon, and took his garment
of animal skins by which he claimed authority over the nations.
This garment, it says, was the one God gave Adam. It was
passed down to Noah, and after the flood, Ham and Canaan stole it while Noah
was drunk. The story in Genesis 9:20-23 lacks this particular detail, but it is
certainly plausible. Jasher says that Canaan ultimately gave it to his son,
Cush, who gave it to his son, Nimrod, who claimed the authority of Adam.
Anyway, Esau eventually killed Nimrod while both were on
a hunting trip, and Esau took the garment for himself. The story can be read
here: http://www.ccel.org/a/anonymous/jasher/27.htm
The point is to show that Esau-Edom set a prophetic
pattern when he killed Nimrod. Esau never actually ruled Babylon, but he
usurped his claim of authority. His descendants, as I showed earlier, were
conquered by John Hyrcanus and were then forcibly converted to Judaism.
Thereafter, they were absorbed into Jewry and were a big factor in the revolt
against Rome in the first century, as Josephus tells us.
This element within Jewry today, in essence, killed
Nimrod in 1947 and took the authority that the Babylonian beast system had
enjoyed previously. Esau’s descendants have now ruled nearly 70 years, and they
have not repented of their carnality and violent exercise of power. Even so,
let us all be careful not to hate anyone that we suspect is an Edomite, as the
law commands (Deuteronomy 23:7), for he is our wayward brother.
The Detour
Around Edom
This has also delayed the establishment of the Kingdom,
although to be sure, every delay is pre-planned by God. God often delays events
until the appointed time, yet they seem like unnecessary delays from our
perspective.
When the time came for Moses to lead Israel to the Promised
Land, they requested passage through Edom. The Edomites, however, refused to
allow Israel to pass through their land, which would have been a short trip
along the east shore of the Dead Sea to the Jordan River crossing (Deuteronomy
2:8).
This detour around Edom appeared to delay Israel’s entry
into the Promised Land, but actually, it slowed them down so that they would
enter the land until the time of Passover, forty years after the first Passover
when they had left Egypt. I wrote about this detour in Book 1 of my commentary
on Deuteronomy. It is in chapter 6 of that book, and I include a map showing
Israel’s route around Edom.
The point is that this detour prophesied of the 70-year
delay from 1947-2017. My guess is that it took them 70 days to travel around
Edom. However, I cannot prove that, for Scripture does not tell us how long the
journey took.
The Law against
Drinking Blood
As I wrote earlier, God supported Esau’s right to return
to the old land and claim the Birthright, because Jacob had taken it from him
by fraud and deceit, trying to fulfill prophecy in an unlawful manner. So for
70 years, the church (as with Isaac) has been blinded by God, so that they
would believe that Esau was Jacob-Israel. Because Jacob stole Esau’s identity,
God mandated that Esau would steal Jacob’s identity—and with it, the Birthright
name, Israel.
It was an ingenious judgment of God, but it is now coming
to an end after 70 years. Justice has been granted to Esau, but Esau has ruled
with violence and force, refusing to fulfill the calling of Abraham. They have
not even tried to be a blessing to all families of the earth, but have
mistreated the Palestinians and all of their neighbors from the beginning. They
have maintained an Old Covenant mindset while claiming the New Covenant promise
to Abraham. Instead of conquering by the Sword of the Spirit, they have
conquered by the physical sword.
They have maintained a bloodthirsty policy, as prophesied
about Edom in Ezekiel 35:6, although the law forbids eating blood (Leviticus
17:12).
The Deir Yassin
Village Massacre: April 9, 1947
Perhaps the main reason why we are being called to the
divine court on April 9 of this year is that it is the 70th
anniversary of the Deir Yassin massacre. I wrote about this event in my book, The Struggle
for the Birthright, chapter
11. “The Rise of Jewish Terrorism.”
Many today have forgotten that the terrorists a century
ago were Jewish, not Arab or Palestinian. The most prominent among these
terrorists were Menachem Begin and his Irgun terrorists, along with Yitzhak
Shamir’s Lehi (also called the “Stern Gang”). Both wrote their own books, so we
do not need to quote their enemies to learn of their terrorist activities. We only
need to read what they themselves wrote.
Here is some of what I wrote in The Struggle
for the Birthright:
On April 9, 1947 for no good
strategic reason Mr. Begin’s Irgun Gang teamed up with Shamir’s Stern Gang and
massacred over 250 men, women, and children in Deir Yassin, a peaceful village
outside of Jerusalem. Most of the men were absent, because they were working in
Jerusalem. The people were quickly subdued, those who resisted were killed on
the spot, and the rest were lined up against a wall in the town square and
shot. Many of the women were raped before most of them, too, were killed.
Later apologists tell us that it was their own fault
for not leaving when they were warned. Surely, such apologists must be a
bit insane to think that a few minutes’ warning relieves terrorists and
murderers of all moral responsibility for the massacres! Mr. Begin, a future Prime
Minister of Israel, writes on page 163, 164 of his book, The Revolt, Story
of the Irgun:
“One of our tenders carrying a
loud speaker was stationed at the entrance to the village and it exhorted in
Arabic all women, children and aged to leave their houses and to take shelter
on the slope of the hill. By giving this humane warning our fighters threw away
the elements of complete surprise, and thus increased their own risk in the
ensuing battle. A substantial number of the inhabitants obeyed the warning and
they were unhurt. A few did not leave their stone houses—perhaps because of the
confusion. The fire of the enemy was murderous—to which the number of our
casualties [four Irgun fighters were killed—ed.] bears eloquent testimony. Our
men were compelled to fight for every house; to overcome the enemy they used
large numbers of hand grenades. And the civilians who had disregarded our
warnings, suffered inevitable casualties.”
This “warning” given to the civilians is contradicted by
Alfred Lilienthal, who wrote on page 154 of The Zionist Connection II,
“No warning had been given to
the villagers, as was later claimed (Begin has stated that all victims of Irgun
attacks had been warned beforehand), because the armored truck with its
loudspeaker had tumbled into a ditch and been tossed on its side far short of
the first houses of the village. Advised by a night watchman of the
approaching Jewish raiders, some inhabitants, with only a robe thrown around
them, managed to flee to the west.”
“Jon Kimche, the Zionist writer,
calling the incident ‘the darkest stain on the Jewish record throughout the
fighting,’ stated, ‘The terrorist justified the massacre of Deir Yassin because
it led to the panic flight of the remaining Arabs in the Jewish state area.’
Jewish writer Don Peretz described the result of Deir Yassin as a ‘mass fear
psychosis which grasped the whole Arab community.’ Arthur Koestler wrote, this
‘bloodbath . . . was the psychologically decisive factor in the spectacular
exodus of Arab refugees’.” (p. 156)
Menachem Begin also claimed that the town was of
strategic military value. He bases this on a letter from Mr. Shaltiel, the
Haganah Regional Commander, who had written to Mr. Begin:
“I learn that you plan an attack
on Dir Yassin. I wish to point out that the capture of Dir Yassin and holding
it is one stage in our general plan. I have no objection to your carrying out
the operation provided you are able to hold the village. If you are unable to
do so I warn you against blowing up the village which will result in its
inhabitants abandoning it and its ruins and deserted houses being occupied by
foreign forces. This situation will increase our difficulties in the general
struggle. A second conquest of the place will involve us in heavy sacrifices.
Furthermore, if foreign forces enter the place this will upset the plan for
establishing an airfield.”
So the strategic value of Dir Yassin (or Deir Yassin) was
that the Haganah was planning to turn it into an airfield! Certainly that would
justify the destruction of the village. And if the people object and fight
back, this would certainly justify their massacre. After all, who are they to
object to a Jewish airfield? Don’t Jews have rights?
The Haganah, as usual, had denied all knowledge of the
Irgun’s plans to destroy Deir Yassin. But Begin makes it clear that they knew
about it and even approved of its operation. Begin says he did the “humane”
thing by telling the people to flee from their homes before his attack. It was
the Arab villagers’ own fault, he thinks, because they did not all flee and
leave everything to the Jewish settlers who were soon to occupy the village.
When they fought back, then the Irgun invoked its right to “self-defense.”
Do Arabs lack the right to fire upon invading Irgun and
Lehi attackers? It was not Deir Yassin that attacked a village of the Irgun.
The primary goal of this massacre was to terrorize the
Arabs into fleeing from their land, for only by their leaving could Jews
confiscate it for themselves. Once the Arabs had fled—even if they went to a
nearby town to stay with relatives for a time—they would not be allowed to
return.
This Zionist definition of self defense is still used
today as they confiscate more land and destroy more Arab villages. They come in
and tell everyone to leave town, then blow up the town and move Israeli
settlers to the land, giving the new settlement an Israeli name. Deir Yassin
was no exception. I beg to differ with them on their basic definitions of
morality and justice.
This murder was so diabolical that even the Chief Rabbi
of Jerusalem, to his credit, excommunicated those who participated in the
massacre.
Jacques de Reynier was the Chief Representative of the
International Red Cross at the time of the massacre. His report of his
inspection of Deir Yassin the day after the massacre may be viewed online at http://www.palestinehistory.com/mass01.htm:
It makes grim reading:
“Suddenly the officer tells me .
. . the story of this village populated by 400 Arabs, disarmed since always
living on good terms with the Jews who surround them. According to him, the
Irgun arrived 24 hours previously and ordered by loudspeaker the whole
population to evacuate all the buildings and surrender. There is a 15 minute
delay in the execution of the command. Some of the unhappy people came forward
and would have been taken prisoners and then turned loose shortly afterwards
toward the Arab lines. The rest did not obey the order and suffered the fate
they deserved. . . .
“Former Haganah officer, Col.
Meir Pa’el, upon his retirement from the Israeli army in 1972, made the
following public statement about Deir Yassin that was published by Yediot
Ahronot (April 4, 1972): ‘In the exchange that followed, four [Irgun] men were
killed and a dozen were wounded. . . by noon time the battle was over and the
shooting had ceased. Although there was calm, the village had not yet
surrendered. The Irgun and LEHI men came out of hiding and began to “clean” the
houses. They shot whoever they saw, women and children included, the commanders
did not try to stop the massacre . . . I pleaded with the commander to order
his men to cease fire, but to no avail. In the meantime, 25 Arabs had been
loaded on a truck and driven through Mahne Yehuda and Zichron Yousef (like
prisoners in a Roman “March of Triumph”). At the end of the drive, they were
taken to the quarry between Deir Yassin and Giv’at Shaul, and murdered in cold
blood. . . The commanders also declined when asked to take their men and bury
the 254 Arab bodies. This unpleasant task was performed by two Gadna units
brought to the village from Jerusalem.
“Zvi Ankori, who commanded the
Haganah unit that occupied Deir Yassin after the massacre, gave this statement
in 1982 about the massacre, published by Davar on April 9, 1982: ‘I went
into 6 to 7 houses. I saw cut off genitals and women’s crushed stomachs.
According to the shooting signs on the bodies, it was direct murder.”
Even today, there are Zionists who deplore this murder. Ami
Isseroff, of the Peace Middle East Dialog Group, implores his fellow Zionists,
“It is long past time for
Israeli Zionists, like myself, to apologize. The Israeli government has
never apologized for the massacre of Deir Yassin . . . The perpetrators
of the massacre at Deir Yassin were never punished.”
As you can see, the roots of the present-day conflict go
back to the days of Jewish terrorism. It worked so well for them, the Arabs
decided to try the same tactics. The Jewish state was founded on terrorism
by terrorists. This is the true basis of their claim to “the right to exist.”
This is part of God’s reason for prophesying its destruction.
The Violent
Take the Kingdom by Force
We have shown from the prophet Jeremiah that there were
(and still are) two types of “figs” from the fig tree of Judah. There are good
figs and evil figs. The good figs are those that peaceably submit to the
judgment of God, and there are those who would rather fight and die (Jeremiah
24-30). This was true in Jeremiah’s day, and it was again true in Jesus’ day.
Jesus said of these people in Matthew 11:12,
12 And from the days
of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and violent
men take it by force.
Jesus denounced the Jewish belief that the Kingdom of God
must be taken by violence and force. Forty years later, God brought judgment
and captivity upon Judah, this time at the hand of Rome. It was all for the
same reasons that we find in the writings of Jeremiah six centuries earlier.
One would think that the people would have learned, since they claimed to
believe the writings of Moses and the prophets.
Being bloodthirsty is a characteristic of Esau-Edom, not
of Jacob-Israel. If the current state of Israel had truly been the beginning of
the Kingdom of God, they would not have needed to establish it by terrorism.
Their terrorism was soon learned by Yassir Arafat and others, and this has now
borne the bitter fruit of modern terrorism. The Islamic terrorists learned
their lessons from men like Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir.
It is now time to take this situation to the divine court
for justice to be done. While even many Christians try to justify the acts of
Jewish terrorism in 1947 and earlier, we will leave it in the hands of God to
decide. For our part, based upon Jesus’ view of the law and through our New
Covenant perspective, we will advocate for the peaceful victims of Deir Yassin,
as this massacre set the tone for the establishment of the Israel state a year
later.
EDITOR’S
NOTE: This invasion by the Jewish
terrorists prior to 1948 is the partial fulfillment of the Gog-Magog invasion
given in Ezekiel 38 and 39. The only remaining part to be fulfilled is their
destruction, which will include Jerusalem.
The majority of the faux Jews came from the Russian and Eastern European
areas calling themselves Ashkenazi Jews.
They were originally immigrants from the nation of Khazaria who
converted to Judiasm during the Middle Ages.
Other fake converted Jews came from Iran or Persia. Others, possibly Edomite-Jewish inbreeds,
came from Ethiopia and Libya exactly as listed in Ezekiel.
