Turkey Leads Nations in war of Condemnation of Israel

1. Turkey leads the nations in a war of condemnation against Israel
Have you ever heard of a nation who sends its commandos into battle with Paintball guns? Well Israel did. The elite soldiers sent to take control of the Flotilla ships were sent with paintball guns on board. Clearly they were not planning for violence but only crowd control. There was no resistance on five of the ships and there were no injuries.

But, they were utterly surprised by the well-prepared reception they received on the largest ship, the Mavi Marmara.  

It was a set up.

All during the voyage, the activists vowed they had no weapons and that they would only use passive resistance if stopped from reaching Gaza. But, all along they planned a well coordinated, and equipped, attack on the soldiers. The soldiers were viciously attacked with hammers, metal pipes, knives, and even live fire. Amazingly the commandos showed extreme restraint and continued to use paintball guns until two of their comrades were seriously hurt from live fire. Only then did they use the pistols they were carrying along with them. “They prepared a lynch for us,” said one of the soldiers; “we feared for our lives,” others recounted. (These are well-trained commandos!)

Watch the videos and understand what really happened on the Marmara; hear and see the testimony of a commando who participated in the raid. See the truth for yourself.

Just click on this link to JUSTtheTRUTH  a web page I created with some videos. Caution: They are not easy to watch!

Yet, Turkey has called Israel a terrorist state, has charged that Israel has lost all legitimacy and said the raid was “murder committed by the State.” Abbas of the PA called the raid a “slaughter” and Hamas leader Haniyeh appeared on Al-Jazeera television to condemn the “brutal attack.”

Turkey is the latest nation to aspire to leadership among the Muslim nations. It is using Israel as a scapegoat to reach its goal. The latest fiasco on the Mavi Marmaris and the cynical use of misinformation by Turkey is the latest in the unending stream of hatred flowing form the Arab nations

To be honest, it’s hard to take the self-righteous hypocrisy of these entities. Why did Turkey allow the Flotilla in the first place? Why did Turkey back the IHH - Insani Yardim Vakfi - ("Humanitarian relief fund") knowing very well that it is a radical Islamic organization with deep connections to known terrorist organizations? Why did Turkish authorities fail to check the boats and the people before they embarked on this deliberately provocative journey?

Officials from the Turkish Customs Directorate said all passengers that boarded the Mavi Marmara ship were screened and that not a single passenger was in possession of any weapon.
 

Apparently, their screening methods are lax:

Should not the nations condemn Turkey for pushing the Middle East dangerously close to a terrible war? Should not the nations rebuke the NGO which instigated this crisis? Should not the head of IHH, the organizer, be put on trial? Shouldn’t the UN Security Council call upon the Arab nations in the Middle East to put pressure on Hamas to lay down its terrorist agenda to annihilate Israel, disarm itself and remove any need for a siege?

 
2. The Word of the Lord to Israel and the Nations
I believe Isaiah 40 encapsulates wonderfully what God is saying to Israel and to the nations now. This chapter is quite “noisy” as it contains many proclamations and declarations; it would be perfectly right to SAY these things out loud in prayer and in public.

I will not quote the chapter here, but only give the highlights and leave it to you to discover, rejoice in, and then; hopefully, to use as prayer and proclamation before the Lord.

• God declares Israel has taken double from the Lord for her sins

• God proclaims the comforting of Israel.

• A voice calling and making a way for the Glory of God to be revealed on the earth - God’s main purpose!

• The absolute supremacy and certainty of the Word of the Lord arising forever.

• All flesh before God is as grass.

• God will come to Zion with Power and rule by His Son (His arm).

• He will come as a shepherd to His flock and feed it.

• The absolute supremacy of God and His Wisdom over the people of the earths who weigh in as small dust on a scale.

• All nations and peoples are zero (nothing) before the Lord.

• God is incomparable to anything in His creation, or to anyone.

• God will make the rulers of the earth to be as warm breath on a cold day.

• Look at the heavens and consider the Creator.

• Israel’s way is not hidden from the Lord!

• You will faint and become weak kneed if you don’t take time to seek the Lord and wait on Him. You will not be able to take the revelation of His Glory, nor the blessing and power and you will not be able to take what is coming on the earth. Wait on God and Seek Him!

Stand with God and pray for us; you will be glad you did!
