Yeni Safak cover story on 2017-12-12, "A Call for Urgent Action", proposing an OIC massed attack against Israel, exactly as prophesied in Bible's Ezekiel 38-39 |
The Powder Keg
President Trump announced on Dec. 7, 2017 that the US Embassy would be moving to Jerusalem.Just 5 days later, on Dec. 12, 2017 Yeni Şafak published the trial balloon article "A Call for Urgent Action".
Yeni Şafak is a conservative Turkish daily newspaper. The newspaper is known for its hardline support of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his AK Parti, and has a very close relationship with the Turkish government.
MEMRI (Middle East Media Research Institute) has translated to English this newspaper's urgent call to war by OIC's Islamic forces against Israel.
This op-ed piece was written by SADAT (a Turkish equivalent of USA's Blackwater (renamed Academi, a private paramilitary group of mercenaries). SADAT supports Jerusalem and Hamas (terrorists a.k.a. freedom fighters), and their governance of the Palastinian Gaza Strip. SADAT's article was published just days before the OIC meeting held in Istanbul on Dec. 13, 2017.
OIC issued a statement of solidarity with Palestinians and Al Quds (Islamic name for Jerusalem) after their summit.
SADAT's attempt to highlight OIC's military, economic, and demographic superiority against Israel |
Turkey is the current President of OIC. Since then, Turkey called an emergency meeting of OIC on May 18, 2018 to discuss Al Quds (Jerusalem) again.
On August 15, 2018 Qatari's Emir Tamim Hamed Aal Thani announced $15 Billion in aid for Turkey in its ongoing diplomatic and economic sanctions battle with USA.
On Aug. 17, 2018 Israel's IDF forces blocked all Muslims from accessing the al-Aksa Mosque in Jerusalem after a 30-year-old Israeli Arab was suspected of attempting to stab a Jerusalem police officer, and was shot dead.
Jordan (the trustee for all Islamic sites in Jerusalem), PLO, and others protested these unilateral and alleged illegal actions by Israel.
The Fuse
Anybody wanting to start an Israeli-Muslim war will may use the al-Aksa Mosque as the fuse leading to the powder keg described above; OIC or otherwise. The other possible target is Mecca.To be clear, under no circumstances do I encourage nor condone illegal activities, nor violence, nor racism, nor bigotry. As a Born Again Christian, I love everybody equally and encourage everybody to do likewise.
According to many Muslims, any person doing non-Muslim prayers on Temple Mount is unacceptable.
Starting in the 1930's, Muslims have made many accusations against Israel, Jews, and Christians that they were plotting to destroy the al-Aqsa mosque. Most or all of these allegations were unfounded.
Israel captured Jerusalem from Jordon during the 1967 Six Day War. In spite of that, and despite thousands of years of yearning for Jewish sovereignty over Judaism’s holiest sites, Moshe Dayan, then Israeli defense minister, relinquished control of the Temple Mount to the Waqf (Islamic authorities in Jordon) shortly thereafter.
Historically, Jews and Christians can only attend Temple Mount as tourists, but no singing nor prayers nor demonstrations are allowed. The 1994 Wadi Araba Agreement (a peace treaty between Jordan and Israel) mandated Jordan’s Religious Endowments Authority (ie. the Waqf) with overseeing all Muslim and Christian holy sites in Israeli-occupied East Jerusalem.
In Year 2000, a visit to Al-Aqsa (Temple Mount) by controversial Israeli politician Ariel Sharon sparked a years-long popular uprising against the Israeli occupation in which thousands of Palestinians lost their lives.
On Mar. 3, 2015 an Israeli Court ruled that Jews must be permitted to pray on Temple Mount provided there isn't overriding security reasons to prevent it. Despite the ruling, which appeared to affirm the right of non-Muslims to pray on the Mount, no changes were made to police policy on the Temple Mount, and no directives made by the court to the State to alter its policy.
To cope with the 2015 Court ruling, Israel installed metal detectors at all entrances to Temple Mount to detect and prevent weapons from entering this contentious holy area. When the metal detectors caused huge protests by Muslims, they were removed. With the metal detectors gone, three Israeli Arab Muslims entered Temple Mount with guns and killed two Israeli policemen.
After the killings, the metal detectors were re-installed, and the Islamic Police on Temple Mount (Islamic Trust's Waqf) went on a wildcat strike in protest to the metal detectors. On Jul. 17, 2017 Jewish & Christian prayers began on Temple Mount again in earnest, free from harassment by the Temple Mount's Waqf Islamic Police.
On August 11, 2018, the Moked: Israeli Center for Advancing Democracy and Protecting Human Rights filed a petition with the Israeli Supreme Court to get full religious freedom brought to Temple Mount.
Israel's IDF forces were blocking Muslims from entering the Temple Mount on Aug. 17, 2018 following another attack against an Israeli policeman, resulting in the Israeli Arab Muslim attacker being shot & killed.
Sept. 3, 2018 a group of radical Israeli settlers started doing Talmudic prayers and other Jewish religious rituals on the Al-Aksa mosque compound, and were protected by Israeli Special Police. Muslims on site grew more and more upset as this demonstration continued.
Slow but sure, the matter and anti-matter on Temple Mount are being brought closer & closer together. When they finally touch, the fuse will be lit, and the powder keg will explode.
