JPost: “There is “no way” Abbas was quoted as saying by Palestinian news agency WAFA.

Netanyahu most recently repeated his request for recognition during his speech at AIPAC’s 2014 Policy Conference on Tuesday. “Recognize it. No excuses. No delays. It’s time.”

Opinion: Listen carefully, do you hear any condemnation from Secretary Kerry or the president? Nothing, nada, zip, which is precisely why Abbas can get away with the charade. One demand, only one, and he’ll have an Arab state with its capital in Jerusalem.

But he won’t do it.

Yet just a few days ago it was President Obama pressuring Prime Minister Netanyahu. President Obama said Israel will have to make tough choices, adding … if not now, when?

But no such demands are made on the descendants of Esau.

This is a very old feud. It began in Abraham’s (Genesis 25:23) own family: “And the LORD said unto her (Rebekah, wife of Isaac) two nations are in your womb, and two manner of people shall be born of you; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.”

The elder is Esau, who, not coincidentally, had a major league hatred for his brother Jacob, whom God renamed Israel, over a birthright. Esau was told by his father Isaac: “By your sword you will live” (Genesis 27:40).

Fifteen hundred years later the prophet Ezekiel forecast an end to the feud:

“Because you [Esau's descendants] have had an ancient hatred, and have shed the blood of the children of Israel by the power of the sword at the time of their calamity [Babylonian Captivity], when their iniquity came to an end, therefore, as I live,” says the Lord God, “I will prepare you for blood, and blood shall pursue you; since you have not hated blood, therefore blood shall pursue you.”

Twenty-five hundred years later - is now.

The feud is coming to a crescendo. Psalm 83 ought to do it.

Genesis 9:5: “And for your lifeblood I will require a reckoning: from every beast I will require it and from man. From his fellow man I will require a reckoning for the life of man.” ESV

Debkafile: Gazprom informed Kiev Tuesday that it is cancelling the discount on Russian gas supplies to the Ukraine. From April 1, the full price will be charged. Ukraine’s unpaid debt for gas is up to $1.5 bn.

Opinion: The above article was one sentence. It must not be a big deal so why bother writing about it? Also, the mainstream press ignored it. But there may be more.

oilgas-lebanon-israel-300x339 Four days ago Slate Magazine published a story that we have been following for years with this headline “Israel’s Big Gusher“:

“It wasn’t long ago that Israel’s oil and gas industry was the territory of wishful thinkers like John Brown, a born-again Christian from Texas who saw a map to oil gushers in readings of the Bible. In the 1980s, I interviewed his site manager, also a born-again Christian, who told me that the Lord had bequeathed oil to his chosen people. In a cluttered cabin in the hills of central Israel, the rangy Texan leafed through his copy of the Bible and read me Deuteronomy 33:24: “Of Asher he said, More blessed than sons is Asher. May he be favored by his brothers, and may he dip his foot in oil.”

Asher and his descendants hadn’t found oil, the prospector said, but they just didn’t know where to look—or have the tools we have today. For guidance, he pointed to another verse, Deuteronomy 32:12-13: “The Lord alone guided him, and there was no foreign god with him. He made him ride on the high places of the earth, and he ate the produce of the field. And He made him suck honey from the rock, and oil from the flinty rock.”

Golda Meir often joked that God had guided the Jewish people through the desert to the only land in the Middle East with no oil. To date, little on-shore oil has been found, although there is still hope. But after many failed attempts by offshore drilling companies, a young Israeli lawyer named Gideon Tadmor got it right. Egypt, he theorized, had discovered commercial quantities of natural gas in the Mediterranean, and there was no reason the gas fields would stop at Israel’s maritime border.

There is still more than oil to the story:

Today, Israel’s known gas reserves are 30 trillion cubic feet (tcf), and the US Geological Survey says there’s at least twice that amount still to be discovered in Israeli waters. That exceeds Israel’s energy needs for the next 30 to 50 years. Moreover, the USGS predicts there are 1.7 billion barrels of oil gas basins as well.

Question: Is there any one thing that would enrage Czar Putin enough to form an alliance against Israel (Ezekiel 38:1-6)? How about losing a natural gas customer like Ukraine, with 45 million people, to that pesky nation of Israel?

Ukraine, Israel and the Worthlessness of International Agreements
