Iran Provoking Israel

As if the situation in the Middle East wasn't sketchy enough...now we have reports that Iranian military ships are heading towards the Suez Canal...their destination a naval base in Syria which is REALLY close to Israel.

At least one Israeli official is not pleased with the provocation.

Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman's heated remarks on Iran mark a rupture within the Israeli leadership over how to respond to the region's political flux. Until Wednesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had kept his cabinet officials on a more cautious message: Egypt's revolution holds security risks for Israel, but no one can predict how it will turn out.

Addressing a closed meeting of American Jewish leaders in Jerusalem, Mr. Lieberman declared that the ships were to cross the Suez within hours. He said the plan "proves that the self-confidence and chutzpah of the Iranians are growing from day to day," according to a text issued later by his office.

"To my regret, the international community is not showing readiness to deal with the recurring Iranian provocations," he added. "The international community must understand that Israel cannot forever ignore these provocations."

Hamas and another Islamist adversary, Lebanon's Hezbollah militia, view Egypt's turmoil as an opportunity to strengthen their hand against Israel.

Hezbollah's leader told his group Wednesday he might ask it to invade northern Israel if a new war breaks out. Mr. Netanyahu retorted in a speech: "I have news for you. He won't. The last thing anyone should have is any doubt about Israel's determination to defend itself."

In summation, we have another article in the WSJ from Jerusalem, the enemies of Israel may be sensing blood in the water and they are starting to feel emboldened because of America's silence and war fatigue, and Israeli officials are starting to talk VERY tough towards any enemies that believe they can exterminate the Jewish nation.

"See how your enemies are astir, how your foes rear their heads. With cunning they conspire against your people; they plot against those you cherish. 'Come', they say, 'let us destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel be remembered no more.'" Psalm 83:3-4

Sounds like we are getting right on target to have another major war in the Middle East. God is getting ready to do some mighty powerful things.
