The EU in the Arab-Israeli 
(or better, Hell-Heaven) Conflict

The Austrian Chancellor Viktor Klima, whose country holds the EU (European Union) presidency, pledged that Austria would use its EU presidency to maintain pressure on Israel. Arafat said that he had high expectations of Austria’s (anti-Semitic) EU presidency. Klima said furthermore that Austria would press the EU to continue with a programme of financial aid for the Palestinians -- worth $ 1.9 billion -- and would seek talks with its partners about a French/Egyptian initiave for a new Middle East Peace Conference. 

This, despite the fact that a 1997 official report of the Palestinian Auditing Office said that Arafat’s Palestinian Authority squandered $ 326 million; and a scathing parliamentary probe alleged that corruption and mismanagement was rampant. Reforms and council resolutions have been left unsigned or unimplemented by the executive branch. Palestinian lawmakers have charged that Arafat has worked systematically to contain and weaken council attempts to check the executive’s authority. 

But Israel is pressured to hand over concrete portions of precious land to a man who does not keep his promises even to his own people. He was and is a man of lawnessness. 

5. Syrian President Hafez al-Assad visited France on his first trip to a Western country in 22 years, trying to get Europe to play a more forceful role in the peace process to counter-balance the U.S., which he sees as “biased” in favour of Israel. “Syria wanted to make peace with Israel,” Assad said, “but would not give the Jewish State any concessions on land or rights. We will continue to confront the aggression and occupation with steadfastness,” Assad added, changing the facts by turning them upside down, trusting in the worldwide ignorance and indifference concerning actual facts. Two weeks later the Egyptian foreign minister Amr Moussa visited the French capital for the same purpose and to discuss a Franco-Egyptian proposal to hold an international conference to kick-start again the “piece-by-piece” process. 

Indeed, anyone not completely favoring the Arabs’ view in the conflict is considered “biased” in favor of Israel. Watch the approachment of the EU and these Islamic Arab countries! They will soon form an alliance previously unimaginable! The plot against G-d’s Land and people, and, by implication against the Return of the King of Israel, thickens! 

Signs of the time are like embryos: we may not have recognized their inception, but we can see from the shape their development takes what they will turn out to be. Hence, the information given in this letter is not of a “political” nature or interest, but is meant to help recognize the “shape” these embryonic signs are taking: the one-world system G-d calls “beast” has been conceived and is developing before our eyes, as is WWIV(?) which will erupt at the banks of the Euphrates River, and Damascus’ fate - she has never ever been destroyed - to become a heap of ruins. 

Turkey and Syria were in an “undeclared war” over Syria’s sponsorship of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) rebel group, worsened by rising tensions over territory²⁴, water sharing and Turkey’s military alliance with Israel. 

In response to Turkish threats Syria called for Arab support on a level with that seen in the 1973 Middle East war when Arabs united behind Syria and Egypt against Israel. The Arab League echoed Syrian and Iranian charges that Turkey’s new informal ally Israel had fomented the row.

Syria, "sandwiched" between Turkey and Israel (actually between Turkey and Jordan), says the pair’s military ties are directed against Damascus and accuses Turkey of limiting crucial water supplies into Syria with their huge (Attatürk) dam project on the River Euphrates. 

“Israel is behind this crisis,” Arab League Deputy Secretary-General Ahmed Bin Hilli charged. Turkish Defense Minister Ismet Sezgin countered that “the interpretation of Arab countries doesn’t interest me... To relate our attitude, our stance to the (Turkish) prime minister’s visit to Israel is the product of dreams.” 

The United States and much of the Arab world worry that the dispute may spin out of control, destabilize the region and destroy Middle East peace making. In order to calm the tensions Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, the Gulf countries, and Iran got involved in solving the disputes diplomatically. 

Syria and Iran maintain close strategic ties since Syria backed Iran in its 1980-1988 war with Iraq. Teheran and Damascus have condemned the emergence of a Turkish-Israeli military alliance, saying the pact is directed against Syria, Iran and Iraq. 

“The only side that will benefit from any military confrontation between the two neighbors Syria and Turkey is Israel,”  Syrian Defense Minister, Lt. General Mustafa Tlas said. 

May this be so! 

In addition. to the development of the “Euphrates conflict” we can observe an Iraq/ Syria rapprochement: A decision by Iraq and Syria to reopen an oil pipeline, closed since 1982, has set relations on a new track. “The rising tension between Syria and Turkey, especially in view of a strong military alliance between Turkey, Israel and the U.S., is pushing Damascus toward a reconciliation with Baghdad,”Z a Western diplomat said. 

Hence, we see the leading Arab powers getting involved (now only diplomatically) in the conflict between Syria and Turkey, Israel serving most probably again as G-d’s fuse to ignite the dynamite of their enmity and malice. Irresistably drawn by the cords of their pride and hatred, the Arab League nations will gather behind Syria, only to find themselves suddenly pitched against the NATO nations gathering behind Turkey. 

As four of the most evil and powerful angels shall be released from their chains at the River Euphrates²⁵, a third of mankind, ca. 2 billion, shall perish. May America by that time have rectified its stance toward Israel, lest her sons falling in that war will number in the millions!
