Land for
peace? You've got to be joking! The world is demanding that Israel give up even
more land to its enemies in order to bring peace to the Middle East. Is history
to be repeated again?
One of
the most famous “Land for Peace” agreements was between Britain and Germany.
September 15, 1938: British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain set out for
Germany to visit Adolph Hitler. Hitler wasn't asking for too much, just the
liberation of the German-speaking areas of Czechoslovakia [the western part of
Czechoslovakia called Sudetenland]. It was a sweet little "Land for
Peace" deal that would hopefully appease the Fuhrer and give the
German-speaking Czechs their "rights of self-determination", albeit
under Nazi control. Fifteen days later the Sudetenland was handed over to
Hitler. In exchange, Hitler gives his word that he has no other territorial
designs on Europe.
October
1, 1938: Germany now owns half of Czechoslovakia and not a single shot was fired.
Before the year ended, Hitler broke his agreement and occupied the remainder of
Czechoslovakia.
The
following year Hitler invaded Poland. He continued to invade most of Europe,
Africa, and Russia and even bombed Chamberlain's very own Britain. Needless to
say, the duped Chamberlain was replaced rather quickly by Winston Churchill.
The Brits had THEIR fill of "Land for Peace!" And that was just one
example!
The
policy of "Land for Peace" logically entails the surrender of Israeli
territory whenever Arabs threaten war. As anyone may see from the US House of
Representatives Task Force Report on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare
issued on December 10, 1996, the territorial shrinkage of Israel following the
Oslo peace process has triggered a "frantic military build-up" by
Arab and Islamic states that now see an opportunity to annihilate the Jewish
State.
Question:
Can Israel be certain that peace will never be withheld again by those who
receive the land?
Question:
What will happen if surrendering land reduces Israel’s ability to defend itself
from those who will occupy the surrendered land?
Many may
say, “Well, we won’t know until we try.” And if it fails, it will be too late
to save the country and its people. Israel will be gone.
Fortunately,
biblical prophecy does state that although Israel will be attacked in the
future by a large and powerful coalition, God will intervene and destroy all
but one sixth of the attacking forces, saving Israel and bringing glory to His
name.
Praise be
to the Lord God Almighty!!!
