Israel Kills 20 in Golan

The angry Arabs continue to push on the Israeli borders from all sides.  Today it was in the Golan Heights, which Israel took when they drove the invading army of Syria all the way back to Damascus.  Syria has NEVER had a peace agreement with Israel and they say they NEVER will as long as Israel has the Golan Heights.

For it's part, Israel says it will never give back the Golan Heights.  The territory is simply too strategic to be in the hands of the Syrians...who hate Israel.

Israeli soldiers fired on protesters trying to breach the country’s frontier fence with Syria on the anniversary of the 1967 Middle East War. At least 20 people were killed, according to Syrian state television.


Some 277 people were wounded, including 12 in critical condition, the television said. An Israeli soldier could be heard telling protesters through a loudspeaker in live Syrian television coverage: “If you cross the fence you will be killed.” Israeli soldiers shot at demonstrators’ legs after firing warning shots, Brigadier General Yoav Mordechai, Israel’s chief military spokesman, said on Channel 2 television.

Can you see how the tension is building on all sides?  Can you see how Israel's enemies all have the same idea on their minds....that Israel needs to be destroyed?  Can you see how this is ultimately leading to another major war in the region?

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


I wonder if the war described in Psalm 83 is close to being a reality?
