Now Main Incident of 2008


Now in less than a week to the new year 2009, the history has claimed its status as a major player on the earth with a massive military movement around Israel, just like 2000 years ago.

The Christmas holiday of 2008 is now a memory of a long time ago. Here in Japan preparing for the New Year holidays, people are travelling back to their home towns, namely their birth places or their ancestors’ homes, in local provinces from Tokyo and other major cities through express ways, airlines, and Shinkansen Super-Express railroads.

Indeed, the holiday season is being ended in Europe and America, while Japan has in earnest started to prepare for them, with the end of Christmas.

In either case, the year 2008 is almost finished for people, but the true historic incident in 2008 has just begun around Israel.

It began with rocket attacks by Hams in January 2008, totaling up to 3,000 humble missiles fired to the territory of Israel to date.

Now, the crude oil price crisis has settled down; the Wall Street debacle has taken a short breath; Mr. Barack Obama has been chosen as US President, and the 2008 Christmas is fading away; the time might come for the history.

It is so since Israel has been on campaign of the 100-Year-War for Independence or Re-Establishment of the Modern Kingdom of Judaists.

Gaza sends missiles, Israel sends money

Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak was taken to task by other members of the government on Thursday over his decision to allow the bulk transfer of $25 million from the Palestinian Authority in Samaria to the Hamas regime in the Gaza Strip.
Other senior government ministers said the decision simply made no sense in light of escalating terrorist rocket fire from Gaza on communities in southern Israel.
Barak has come under harsh criticism for failing to order the kind of crushing military response he regularly threatens every time a barrage of rockets is fired from Gaza.

In related news, Israel's Channel 2 News reported on Wednesday that the Israeli air force has changed the flight paths of civilian passenger plane flying near the Gaza Strip for fear of anti-aircraft missiles believed to be in the possession of Gaza-based terrorists.

Israel's Ben Gurion International Airport lies only about 50 miles from Gaza, and planes leaving and arriving sometimes fly much closer.

Mat 12:29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.

Mat 12:30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
