Palestinian Squeeze

Obviously, Israel can't take all the Palestinians as citizens....or it would cease to be a Jewish state. But why can't the surrounding Arab states take some of these Palestinian refugees?? Because, they don't want a single one of them! In fact Jordan is revoking citizenship's of the Palestinians that they have.

Jordanian authorities have started revoking the citizenship of thousands of Palestinians living in Jordan to avoid a situation in which they would be "resettled" permanently in the kingdom, Jordanian and Palestinian officials revealed on Monday.

Palestinians said that the confrontation with the Jordanians was yet another indication of increased tensions between the two sides.

"Many Palestinians living in Jordan are convinced that the Jordanian authorities are trying to squeeze them out," said Ismail Jaber, a West Bank lawyer who has been living in the kingdom for nearly 20 years. "There is growing discontent and uncertainty among Palestinians here."

If you consider the plight of the Palestinians....you will quickly realize that the people are trapped between the suicidal death-regimes of Hamas and Fatah, and squeezed on all sides by Israel and Jordan. No one really wants them...even their own Arab brothers. So in a hopeless situation like that, you can start to understand why they turn to violence. That's about the only place that they have to turn.

However, Obama should be using his political popularity to pressure the Arabs to fix the problems of the Palestinians. Even a cursory reading of history will clearly show where the blame for the crisis lays....and that blame lied predominantly with the Arabs. They caused the problem so the world should demand they have a larger role in fixing it.

Pray for the Christians who are stuck in Palestine getting smacked on all sides. Also pray that dreams and visions sent by Christ will spread to the Palestinian people so that they will be saved.
