Listen up. I am Jordanian, and I tell you that the two-state solution is dead, stone cold. And I’ll tell you why.

Back in 1994, when Yitzhak Rabin was ready to hand the Palestinians a state on a silver platter, who was the loudest voice against it? Benjamin Netanyahu. And what did the world call him? A radical, an enemy of peace, a warmonger. Even inside Israel, many thought he was being extreme. But was he?

Bibi’s argument was simple: You don’t hand a state to people who openly declare that your country has no right to exist and that their ultimate goal is to wipe you off the map. That’s not a “peace process”, that’s national suicide.

He understood the security risks. A Palestinian state in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) would leave Israel a mere 9 miles wide at its narrowest point. That’s nothing. That’s an easy invasion route. That’s a security nightmare. It would take minutes to cut Israel in half and massacre its people.

But did Israel listen? Of course not. In 2000, Ehud Barak came back and sweetened the deal. He offered Arafat a state again. Thank God Arafat said no. And why did he say no? Because he never wanted a state, he wanted Israel gone.

Fast forward to 2005. Ariel Sharon tried another approach. He said, “Fine, let’s give them a test run.” So he pulled every single Jew out of Gaza, 70,000 settlers, forcibly removed. He even went so far as to dig up Jewish graves to ensure Gaza was 100% Judenrein. No excuses left. The Palestinians had a chance to prove they could run a state.

So what did they do? Did they build hospitals, schools, and infrastructure? Did they work on nation-building? Did they take this golden opportunity and create a thriving mini-state to prove to the world that they were ready for independence?

Nope. Instead, they turned Gaza into a terrorist launchpad. Since 2005, Gaza has been a rocket factory, a jihadist training camp, and a tunnel network straight out of a horror movie. Billions in aid poured in, and instead of building a future, Hamas built weapons to destroy Israel.

So let’s go back to the original question: Who was right, the dreamers who kept offering the Palestinians a state or Bibi Netanyahu, who warned them this would be a disaster?

The answer is clear. Bibi was right. The Palestinians never cared about statehood. They only cared about destroying the Jewish state.

And this is the part most people don’t want to say out loud: This conflict was never about “occupation.” That was always a lie. The West Bank and Gaza are just convenient excuses. The real issue is Islamic jihad.

Bibi understands this better than anyone. The people Israel has been negotiating with for decades don’t want borders. They want annihilation. It’s not about compromise. It’s about erasing Israel from the map.

So, no, the two-state solution isn’t “dying.” It’s already dead. And it’s been dead since the first time Israel tried to make peace with people who don’t believe in peace.

4 things Christians should be doing today after the election…

1) Give thanks. Our nation was given an undeserved mercy last night, and it is a window for repentance (more on that later). No Christian anywhere should’ve supported the policy platform that was (mercifully) defeated last night, and saying that should never have been controversial. In fact, it should prompt *deep* reflection about what happened to the US church in the last ~20 years that made it controversial for a pastor to say that.

It is not wrong to celebrate and give thanks today for being spared from something our rebellious nation deserved. If you have kids, they need to see you celebrate because it trains their hearts!

“When wicked things perish, there are shouts of joy” — Prov 11:10

2) Pray. Not only because we are commanded to pray for our governing leaders (1 Tim 2:1), but because of the situation. We elected Jehu (a flawed leader who defeated a greater evil) not Josiah (a righteous leader who led national revival), and that comes with risks. The command to “trust not in princes” (Psalm 146:3) means there is Someone 10 trillion times greater than a President and something 10 billion times greater than an election that we should ache and hunger for — an outpouring of the Spirit in our generation.

3) Be the adult in the room. Politicians last four years; friends and family last lifetimes. Do not lose a lifelong relationship over a short-term leader. Obviously without compromising your convictions, be a unifier (Eph 4:3) and peacemaker (Matt 5:9) today.

4) Hurl yourself into the purposes of God in our generation. Absent a spiritual awakening in our country, it will not matter in the long run if there are politicians who will propose godly laws, bc there won’t be enough godly people to vote for them. More importantly, Judeo-Christian values can keep a nation out of chaos, but they cannot keep a person out of hell. Only the blood of Jesus Christ can do that.

The main thing is still the main thing: making disciples of all nations. Reformation and revival for a resurgence of the purposes of God in our generation. It feels like we’re on the verge; The tall grass is rustling everywhere, and we’re waiting to see where the Lion of Judah will pounce.

@PrestonSprinkle @unatom3r I can assure that apathy is not the proper response for a follower of Christ, either.

An amazing and bold speech. #StandWithIsrael

[Kosher @koshercockney]

Give yourself 15 mins. Take yourself to one side.

Share wherever you can. Pure goosebumps.

This is one of 𝙢𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝙥𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙪𝙡 speeches I’ve ever seen at the UN.

“Let me say this CLEARLY, Jewish bloody is NOT cheap.

The days where it could be spilled without consequence are OVER.

The days where Jewish people were at the mercy of Tyrants are OVER.”

After the Palestinian Authority spent 20 minutes lying to the room and spewing dull propaganda, without condemning Hamas a single time…

Danny Danon, Israeli Ambassador to the UN just truth-bombed the entire assembly.

This man is incredible. This is G-d’s work.

Against the 7 Terrorist Armies currently attacking Israel. All sworn to wipe out the Jews. Israel is the ultimate underdog story.

They are on the front line against Terror and if that line falls, then not only will it be the second Holocaust of 7 million Jews, then the whole Western World is in trouble.

Back Israel 💙

Ceasefire?

We walked onto cattle cars while you watched.

We returned to our slaughter on ships that you turned away.

We waited in line to use your “showers.”

1.5 million of our children were exterminated because of your indifference.

2 out of every 3 of us in Europe disappeared and you deny our genocide.

This time we thought you would come. We waited - some of us with our captors in underground tunnels, some of us by the Gaza border, some of us by the door.

We waited for you to help Israel - not just the country, but Israel the people. But you took to the streets and accused us of murder for defending against the monsters who raped and butchered and burned and kidnapped our loved ones.

You call for another intifada, and for judenrein in Israel - for our annihilation “from the river to the sea.”

We have been saying “never again” for the last 79 years. Our children and parents, siblings, and grandparents are still in Gaza. Hamas still poses an existential threat….

Never again is NOW.

If you want a ceasefire, then LET OUR PEOPLE GO!!! Otherwise, move aside, because we are NOT marching to our deaths for you anymore.

[Chad Stafford @chadstafford]

This right here. This is a leader. Stand for what is right for your people, when no one else will. When all of this over, they will thank you and their creator for seeing things the proper way.

"I want to ask you something. What has changed in the last five days? What has changed? One thing: these murderers executed six of our hostages. They shot them in the back of the head. That’s what changed! And now after this, we’re asked to show seriousness?! We’re asked to make concessions?! What message does this send Hamas?! It says, kill more hostages. Murder more hostages and you will get more concessions. The pressure internationally must be directed at these killers! At Hamas. Not at Israel. We say ‘yes’. They say ‘no’ all the time but they also murdered these people. And now we need maximum pressure on Hamas."
