TRUMP WATCH: 9.19.20 - VoteLike Your Life Depends on It

VoteLike Your Life Depends on It - Todd Strandberg - https://www.raptureready.com/category/nearing-midnight/ The 2020 presidential election has kicked off in many states as voters begin mailing the first ballots, marking the start of an eight-week sprint toNovember. The left has such a fanatical fixation on this election, the fate of our nation is clearly riding on the outcome. The liberal media are openly warning that there will be violence if Trump wins, so in their mind, the only way to ensure a peaceful transition is aJoe Biden blowout. They are basically using the old mafia line, "Nice country you have here. It would be a shame if something bad happened to it." The Washington Post's editorial board predicted that four more years of President Donald Trump will prove "catastrophic" to the country. The newspaperoffered the following warning: "Another term could allow Mr. Trump to complete the demoralization, politicization and destruction of a workforce that was once the envy of the world:the American civil service, health service, Foreign Service and uniformed military. In everything from consumer safety to air quality to life expectancy, the results would be catastrophic. But there would be nobody left to measure them." A recently invented group called the Transition Integrity Project (TIP) claims to be preparing for a scenario where President Trump loses the 2020election and refuses to leave office, potentially resulting in a constitutional crisis. However, according to TIP's own documents, even their simulations involving a "clear win" for Trump in the upcoming election resulted in a constitutional crisis, as theypredicted that the Biden campaign would make bold moves aimed at securing the presidency, regardless of the election result. The will of the American people doesn't matter. The left is moving closer to using open warfare to grab power. The 2016 Democratic presidential candidateand former Secretary of State under Obama, Hillary Clinton, said that Biden "should not concede under any circumstances." "I think this is going to drag out, and eventually I do believe he will win if we don't give an inch, and if we are as focused and relentless as theother side is," Clinton continued during an interview with Showtime a little over a week ago. The results of the TIP's simulations notably echo Clinton's claims that Biden will "eventually" win if the process to determine the election outcome is "dragged out." It is just outrageous to have Clinton showing open-contempt for the democratic political process. People would have to be crazy to trust a party withthis type of mindset. A large part of the voters are driven by a blind demonic hatred of Trump. There is no other way to explain why sane people would vote for someone whose mental state is so poor, he can only speak in public by reading off a prompter. It is comical and entertaining to a degree to hear a major political candidate make these outlandish gaffs. The humor quickly fades when you have theliberal media jumping in to cover-up Crazy Joe's blunders. It would be horrifying to have this same cult of personality come to the defense of someone like Hitler and Stalin. If Biden wins, Silicon Valley will maintain its monopoly in big tech. All lawsuits filed by the Trump administration will be dropped, and the Democrats'lock on social media will push the nation closer to one-party rule. A Biden presidency would guarantee corruption on a massive scale. Since Hunter Biden is already on the payroll of the Ukraine and the Chinese, influencepeddling can break the record set by the Clintons. The worst outcome of the Democrats winning the White House is them trying to fulfill their promised social programs like the forgiveness of all studentloans, reparations for slavery, and free money based on Modern Monetary Theory. The trillions spent on the COVID-19 virus should have already bankrupted the nation. I doubt we could add another $10 trillion to the national debt without causing a meltdown ofthe dollar. Years ago, it was debatable if a true Christian could vote for the Democratic candidate. Today, that issue has been resolved by the Democrats sayingif you are a Christian that stands for biblical values, we don't want your vote. If you oppose gay marriage or late-term abortion, you cannot hold any office in the party. The Democratic Party is allied with Marxists and Muslim groups that hate Christianity,which is why there was no mention of God in the party's platform. I wouldn't say it is worthless to pray for America. Because we know that all nations will fall under the Antichrist's control during the tribulation,I think it's more productive to pray for a delay in our nation's enslavement. I don't see Donald Trump as any type of savior. He has profoundly deranged views of theology. Christians that proclaim he is being used by God have probably only worked to swellhis ego. What Trump needs to know is that God sometimes uses sinful men to confound the devil's plans. Since God has used Trump to protect believers from the left for four years, it would seem logical that he will continue to use him until the rapture.Because the Church now faces an enemy that is furious with satanic rage, we need to be very concerned about this election. "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour" (1 Peter 5:8). Push-back against Satan's Big Push - Terry James - https://www.raptureready.com/category/nearing-midnight/ With the election of Barack Obama following eight years of George W. Bush, things appeared to be right on track for globalization. Even during the Bush years, the push tobring in a changed world order was front and center. Efforts by those opposed to giving up American sovereignty were becoming increasingly atrophied. America-as-founded advocates within the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representativesgave in to the change agent in most every instance because it was impolitic to push back against the first black president. The leftist mainstream news media reveled in the words of the new president: "It is time for fundamental change in America!" The Obama administration started by the president undertaking a world tour where he apologized for the United States being overbearing and...well...just not a good globalcitizen. The first lady, Michelle Obama, said she was proud of America for the first time since her husband made the tour and was beginning to right all the wrongs that the U.S. as founded had perpetrated upon the rest of the world. Those in charge in D.C. during those eight years indeed set about to transfer American industry-especially manufacturing-to nations throughout the world. Particularly, Chinawas beneficiary of the change that was taking place. During those years, China built an economy that is scheduled to overtake that of the U.S. by 2040-something. That nation used the great profits made from the trade deals and through industrial and hi-techespionage to build a military machine that the Bible tells us will one day be at the heart of the force that will kill a third of the world's population. (Read Revelation chapters 9 and 16.) We can see simply by looking at China's growing belligerence through its threats in the South China Sea and its ominous threats against the Trump administration's toughdealing to create a more favorable trade balance, just how foolish the giveaways by the Obama administration were. And, it is almost certainly the Sino-globalist cabal, according to some observers, that released the COVID-19 plague-a so-called pandemic thathas brought the greatest economic power to have existed to its knees along with the rest of the industrialized world. Then came the election of 2016. The world powers elite were set to further bring those American assets into their orbit with the election of the candidate who was to completethe Obama agenda. It was all but a done deal. The media, again, was giddy with the prospects of making the United States exactly like the European socialistic model they so longed for. But something funny happened on the way to that next presidential inauguration. The candidate of the changed world order lost in a large electoral landslide. The winner,the "Make America Great Again" candidate, gave the inaugural speech in which he lambasted Obama's agenda and the damage done in the Obama administration, and he vowed that now America would be front and center in bringing back manufacturing and all other thingsthat had been virtually given away during the previous four years. Bottom line is that Satan's plans to bring his geopolitical regime of control sooner rather than later was stymied. There came a push-back of major proportions because ofthe election result, one that nobody saw coming-except perhaps Donald J. Trump and his confidence in winning rather than losing, and, certainly, Christians who believe unwaveringly in the power of prayer. As mentioned here many times, that prayer, as edited by God as recorded in 2 Chronicles 7: 14, was at the precise center of the miracle that took place that election nightin 2016. Since that night, and even before, the luciferian push to bring America and the world back to conditions as they were before the 2016 election have increased by the hour.The insane rage of those who are nothing less than operatives for the end-times rebellion Satan is fomenting are in our faces-our masked faces-every waking minute. Those leading the rebellion, including not only Antifa and Black Lives Matter, but the ideological-political left in general and the mainstream news and entertainment mediaas well, are now warning with not-so-veiled threats that if the man they hate is reelected, we can expect carnage from their rage that will cause what is happening at present to look like child's play. Even Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden has threatenedin no uncertain terms that the rage will become even more intense. So the push by the chief rebel of all rebels has his minions, both human and demonic, in place for the big push that is without question coming, no matter who wins the election. It's just the way it is. It is the time in which we are privileged to be alive-the very end of the Age of Grace. We are here for the big push-back against Satan's big push to bring in the long-prophesied Antichrist world order. That cannot and will not happen while we are still here. Our push-back-God's push-back-is why we are here at this troubling but exciting time. The Holy Spirit resident withineach believer in Jesus Christ provides us greater power than the minions of the satanic push have at their disposal. Franklin Graham, son of the late Billy Graham, has full understanding of that power of supernatural push-back. He has invited God's people to join him and many others on the Washington, D.C. Mall on September 26 for a time of prayer for the nation. He will then lead a march throughthe nation's capital as part of the push-back against the evil that will continue to be stymied until we hear the words of our Lord from the clouds of Heaven: "Come up here!" Two Cautions for the President - By Terry James - https://www.raptureready.com/2020/09/16/two-cautions-for-the-president-by-terry-james/ Each succeeding week that produces fodder for another commentary brings with it the thought that things couldn't be more in place for setting in motion the Tribulation. The perception is always proved wrong. This week is no different; prophecy stage-setting is still ramping up. While many issues and events we explore seem at the moment to be critical in setting the stage for fulfillment of Bible prophecy, they most often turn out to be peripheralto the most crucial signals. The things developing now, however, are anything but minor. Israel and the peace process can never be seen as a subject that's on the outer edges of Bible prophecy. And what we're seeing now certainly must be considered as profounda sign as any of where we stand on God's prophetic timeline. With all else that's going on in this nation (which, by the way, is overtly omitted by name in biblical prophecy), we see the strangest presidency of our history at thevery heart of astonishing prophetic stage-setting. And who can deny that this president moves the needle on history's tachometer each and every news cycle? Never has President Trump been as instrumental in so moving that needle as this past week or so. It's as if the engine of biblical eschatology has revved once again to nearmax. I see this as a matter to be viewed as seriously as any we've yet seen-i.e., it seems to take us as near Christ's call to His Church as any movement we've known. With President Trump's acting as an instrument of such profound prophetic movement comes danger, however. It's a danger that we all should recognize. The peace currently being brokered by the Trump administration between Israel and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) presents one of the two areas of danger about which thepresident must be cautioned. The statement by his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, to reporters frames one of the dangers. Kushner said recently: "We were trying to save the two-state solution... If we keptgoing with the status quo... ultimately, Israel would have eaten up all the land in the West Bank." Kushner, husband of Trump's daughter, Ivanka, is a Jew who apparently has little knowledge of, or else not much regard for, God's promises to His chosen people. The Lordgave the Jews all the Land of Promise, including all the land in the West Bank. Mr. Kushner acts as if this is negotiable. In God's view, no area of land He gave Israel is negotiable. There is no room whatsoever for a "two-state solution to any problem Israel's surrounding neighbors have infailing to be at peace with the Jewish State. Here are the Almighty's words on the matter: And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to yourdescendants after you. And I will give to you and to your descendants after you, the land of your sojourning, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God. (Genesis 17:7-8) I would urge men with Holy Spirit-provided savvy regarding Bible prophecy, such as Dr. Robert Jeffress, who have the president's ear to counsel Mr. Trump about this promiseand the serious consequences of attempting to interfere-whether wittingly or not-with that covenant. Here is what God's prophet, Joel, foretold more than two thousand years ago regarding the fate the nations of the world will suffer for doing exactly what this administrationis trying to do. We've looked at it many times. I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom theyhave scattered among the nations, and parted my land. (Joel 3:2) This of course speaks of Armageddon, the killing field where the rebellious armies of the world will be slaughtered. The second of the cautions I put forth here to this president-whom I very much support in most every way-concerns his possibly making the mistake of listening to those whopush for mandatory vaccinations against COVID-19. Here is a news item that encapsulates to some extent the issue: President Donald Trump announced several weeks ago that the US government will purchase 100 million doses of Moderna's experimental coronavirus vaccine, which is currentlyin late-stage human trials. In addition to Moderna, AstraZeneca and the Pfizer/BioNTech alliance are also working on a vaccine. Trump recently estimated that a vaccine for coronavirus may be produced ahead of the US presidential election on November 3. The US has registered more than six million cases of COVID-19-almost a quarter of the global total-and 185,000 deaths, according to Baltimore-based Johns Hopkins University.("US States Told Be Ready for COVID-19 Vaccine by November 1," US & Canada-Israel National News, September 4, 2020) There is more than just conspiracy theory behind fears that some folks in high places have suggested that a computer tracking nanochip or something like that be injectedalong with the coming COVID inoculations. There is ample documentation that such ideas have been exchanged between Bill Gates and others who contemplate vaccinating the entire world. I don't pretend to suggest that this will be part of such vaccinations, nor am I saying this has something to do with the Revelation 13 "mark of the beast," "666" systemof buying and selling. No one needs to fear that they will take that mark this side of the Rapture, no matter what else the proposed COVID vaccine might mean. But it all does smack of Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-four and Big Brother, in which the ruling class is in complete control of the hapless masses and wields absolute power. Mr. President, be aware. Christians who understand Bible prophecy as it is meant to be understood will strongly resist such "mandatory" impositions upon personal liberty. A Prophetic Perspective on the Historic Signing of the Biblically Inspired Abraham Accords - Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz - https://www.israel365news.com/158465/a-prophetic-perspective-on-the-historic-signing-of-the-biblically-inspired-abraham-accords/ When Hashem is pleased with a man's conduct, He may turn even his enemies into allies." Proverbs 16:7 (The Israel BibleTM) A historic ceremony was held on the White House lawn on Tuesday: an agreement, brokered by the Trump administration, normalizing relations between Israel and two Arab nations,Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates, was signed. The agreement, the fulfillment of prophecy, was appropriately named the Abraham Accords. OVERVIEW OF THE ACCORDS The accords were signed in front of a crowd of approximately 800 people by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, UAE Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan,and Bahrain's Foreign Minister Abdullatif Al Zayan. In a manner hinting at the prophesied beating of swords into plowshares, the agreement called for "the further development of friendly relations meets the interests of lastingpeace in the Middle East and that challenges can only be effectively addressed by cooperation and not by conflict." This would be accomplished through "diplomatic engagement, increased economic cooperation and other close coordination." The agreement explained the Biblical roots of the name: "Recognizing that the Arab and Jewish peoples are descendants of a common ancestor, Abraham, and inspired, in that spirit, to foster in the Middle East a reality in whichMuslims, Jews, Christians and peoples of all faiths, denominations, beliefs and nationalities live in, and are committed to, a spirit of coexistence, mutual understanding and mutual respect..." The nations agreed to establish embassies, though it is unclear whether the UAE and Bahrain will locate theirs in Jerusalem. Much of the agreement was based on economic cooperation and interaction with the accords specifying finance and investment, civil aviation, visas and consular services,innovation, trade, and economic relations. The accords open the doors to bilateral tourism. This is highly attractive to the Arab nations as several significant sites considered holy to Islam are located in Israel. The accords also specified joint efforts to combat terrorism, stating that the countries will "take the necessary steps to prevent any terrorist or hostile activities againsteach other on or from their respective territories, as well as deny any support for such activities abroad or allowing such support on or from their respective territories." PALESTINIANS/JUDEA AND SAMARIA The accords referred to the issue of the conflict between the Palestinians and Israel, stating that the countries were "committed to working together to realize a negotiatedsolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that meets the legitimate needs and aspirations of both peoples, and to advance comprehensive Middle East peace, stability and prosperity." The accords did not mention land or territories in reference to a solution for peace with the Palestinians. This may be significant or not and will only become clear inthe future. A LOOK FORWARD: NINE MORE COUNTRIES TO MAKE PEACE WITH ISRAEL During the media conference after the signing, President Trump told reporters that additional peace deals are in the works with eight or nine countries. "We have many other countries going to be joining us, and they're going to be joining us soon. We'll have I think seven or eight or nine. We're going to have a lot of othercountries joining us, including the big ones. We already have the big one, but including the big ones," Trump said. Israel 365 News managing editor David Sidman conjectured that the "big one", what Sidman referred to as "the elephant in the room", would be Saudi Arabia, the head of theSunni Muslim world and a close ally of the US. "At the right time, I do think they will come in," Trump said, referring to Saudi Arabia. "This is a very big and very historic moment, and I think everyone agrees to that.But we'll have other countries coming in fairly rapidly." ISRAEL365 NEWS INTERVIEWED FORMER ISRAEL AMBASSADOR TO THE US Before the signing, Israel365 News covered the event, interviewing Michael Oren who served as the Israeli Ambassador to the US during the difficult years of the Obama administration.Oren described the accords as a "stunning diplomatic breakthrough." "It upends all the political assumptions going back over 30 years," Oren said, noting that the peace agreement with Egypt required Israel to relinquish the entire SinaiPeninsula. "The notion of territory for peace has been hardwired into the process for 70 years. We didn't give up a single millimeter of Eretz Yisrael (land of Israel) for this peace agreement." "Also, for all this time people have been claiming that the core conflict in the Middle East was the Palestinian conflict," Oren added. "And that the core of the Palestinian-Israeliwas Jerusalem and the settlements. All that has been dispelled by these agreements." "Beyond that it is an enormous economic, financial,and strategic accomplishment. It is the wedding of the most innovative country in the world with two of the wealthiestcountries in the world. That wedding can be transformative, not just for the Middle East but for the entire world." "It also allows Israel and these moderate Arab countries to establish a strategic alliance against Iran, on one hand, and against Turkey, on the other. These Arab stateswere put in a bind with the Shiite Islamic Republic of Iran and the radical Sunni state of Turkey which is allied with Hamas and other Jihadists which are threatening these regimes almost as much as they are threatening us.So we have a natural alliance withthem. So they concluded that there was on other power in the Middle East that not only did not threaten them but was able to strengthen their defense." Oren noted that the US played "a very interesting role", noting that the Trump administration's rejection of the Obama-brokered deal with Iran increased the US's leverageto negotiate. "If America went back to the Iran deal, it would stop the peace process dead," Oren said. He noted that the nature of the Abraham Accords could be seen by in the embassies in Jordan and Egypt where, despite the peace agreements with Israel, the Israeli diplomatslive under constant threat. In Bahrain and the UAE, diplomats are not under threat. PROPHETIC BASIS FOR ACCORDS Israel365 feature articles reporter Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz was asked during the broadcast what he saw as the prophetic implications of the Abrahama Accords. "It's all Biblical," Berkowitz said. "This is not only a hugely historic event but it is also incredibly prophetic. We're seeing a period of peace focused on Jerusalem,the city of peace. This was the condition that preceded the building of Solomon's Temple. He built the First Temple out of peace and not out of war." Berkowitz also noted that according to Jewish tradition, the Bnei Yishmael (sons of Ishmael) are destined to repent in the end of days. He cited a verse in Genesis. His sons Yitzchak and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite, facing Mamre Genesis 25:9 "We are seeing a reconciliation between Yishmael and Isaac," Berkowitz said. He explained that according to Jewish tradition, Ishmael should have gone first since he isthe older brother. By allowing him to go first, Ishmael is acknowledging the spiritual superiority of Isaac. "The Abraham Accords is not peace," Berkowitz noted. It is normalization. It is a meeting of brothers, as in the prophecy, with the Arabs recognizing the worth of Isaac." SANCTIFIED WITH PRAYER Jews are required to pray the afternoon prayers before the sun sets and, as the timing would have it, there were approximately 20 religiously observant Jews on hand afterthe event, which included h US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, the president's son-in-law Jared Kushner, and many of those responsible for the negotiations. The worshipers wore masks and observed social distancing. MEDIA AND DEMOCRAT PARTY LEADERS SNUB THE HISTORIC EVENT The media's ambivalence to this historic event was shocking. As three nations joined together in peace, CNN focused on the lack of social distancing, reporting the eventunder the headline, "White House largely disregards coronavirus precautions during Abraham Accords signing." The New York Times focused on the event's impact on regional peace but with a decidedly lackluster headline reading, "Trump Hosts Israel, U.A.E. and Bahrain at White HouseSigning Ceremony" and the subhead, "President Trump said the agreements to normalize relations marked 'the dawn of a new Middle East,' but some analysts said his claims were overblown." The lead paragraph noted that the tri-nation agreement was unacceptableas it "failed to address the future of the Palestinians." Ironically, the article compared Tuesday's event to the signing of the Oslo accords in the same place 27 years ago. At that event, Prime Minister Yitzchak Rabin agreed to give money, weapons, and landto PLO chieftain Yasser Arafat. The NYT attempted to claim that the Oslo accords that have resulted in almost non-stop terrorist attacks was a far greater achievement than the signing of the Abraham Accords which "lacked the feeling ... that something bothpsychically and historically profound was taking place at the White House." NPR downplayed the significance in an article titled, "Abraham Accords Fall Short Of Becoming 'The Deal Of The Century." The audio-article disparaged the Abraham accordsfor two shortcomings. "Initially, the White House was trying to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict with the, quote, 'deal of the century'," Michelle Keleman said. "But the Palestinianswere not among those signing the so-called Abraham Accords today." "Neither Bahrain nor the United Arab Emirates were at war with Israel," she added. "They had been working quietly together to counter Iran." It should be noted that the White House invited a large number of politicians from the Democratic party but in a tragically ironic statement about the schism in US politics,none of the party leaders attended the event that brought together three nations in peace. A LOOK BACK: THE BOMB THAT FAILED TO EXPLODE In his speech at the event, President Trump was overflowing with optimism: "We're here this afternoon to change the course of history. After decades of division and conflict we mark the dawn of a new Middle East," he said. An article in WND noted that when President Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital, some predicted this would be the spark that would set off a war in the region.In 2017, former secretary of state John Kerry predicted that moving the embassy would enrage all the Arab nations. "You'd have an explosion - an absolute explosion in the region, not just in the West Bank and perhaps even in Israel itself, but throughout the region," he warned. "TheArab world has enormous interest in the Haram al-Sharif, as it is called, the Temple Mount, the Dome [of the Rock], and it is a holy site for the Arab world." Robin Wright wrote in the New Yorker: "President Trump threw a diplomatic bomb into the Middle East peace process with his twin decisions to formally recognize Jerusalem." PALESTINIAN REACTION TO PEACE: ROCKETS While the ceremony played out in Washington, Color Red sirens went off in southern Israel as a barrage of 15 rockets was fired from Gaza. Eight rockets were interceptedby the Iron Dome system. 13 Israelis were injured in the rocket attacks. One man in his 60s was hit by shrapnel. He is in critical but stable condition. In response, the Israeli Air Force launched ten airstrikes, hitting Hamas targets in Gaza including a weapons and explosives manufacturing factory and a military compound.A tunnel was also reportedly destroyed in the IAF strikes. No Palestinian casualties were reported. "I'm not surprised that the Palestinian terrorists fired at Israel precisely during this historic ceremony," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said from Washington. "They want to turn back the peace. In that, they will not succeed," he told reporters. "We will strike at all those who raise a hand to harm us, and we will reach out toall those who extend the hand of peace to us." Though the rocket fire came from Gaza, the Palestinian government in Ramallah expressed support for the attack. Monir al-Jaghoub, who heads Fatah's Information Departmentin the Office of Mobilization and Organization, said in a statement: "A question to the United States of America, Israel, Bahrain and the UAE: Will the signing of the normalization agreement at the White House now prevent these missiles fromleaving Gaza tonight to Israel? Peace begins in Palestine and war begins in Palestine." It was reported last month that Hamas and Israel had achieved a ceasefire agreement concerning rockets and aerial incendiary devices. A tale of two White House signing ceremonies - Caroline Glick - https://www.jns.org/opinion/a-tale-of-two-white-house-signing-ceremonies/ The Abraham Accords underscore the failure at the core of the Oslo Accords: You cannot make peace with people who seek your destruction. You can only make peace with thosewho accept you. Attending the White House signing ceremony on Tuesday of the Abraham Accords-which normalize relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain-was both movingand jarring. Standing at the South Lawn, just meters from the Rose Garden where the Oslo Accords were signed 27 years ago on Sept. 13, 1993, the comparison between the two agreements was inescapable. That ceremony was an act of political theater unsurpassed in the history of Israel. Yasser Arafat, chairman of the PLO and architect of modern terrorism, grinned ear toear as he received the royal treatment on the White House Lawn. Seeking peace, Israel's then-Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin promised the PLO land, money and weaponry, which Arafat used to build a terror state on the outskirts of Jerusalem.Arafat in turn promised to end terrorism, accept Israel's right to exist and resolve all outstanding issues through peaceful negotiations. Arafat was lying. I wanted to believe in the fake peace of 1993. But the grim facts made it all impossible. For the past 27 years, first as a member of Israel's negotiating team during myservice in the Israel Defense Forces and then as a writer and a lecturer, like thousands of other Israelis and friends of Israel in the United States and around the world, I devoted myself to exposing the lies and warning about the danger of empowering thosewho seek Israel's destruction. I wrote hundreds of articles, briefed hundreds of politicians and community leaders in the United States and worldwide. I wrote a book. And as I sat in the garden at the White House today, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, U.S. President Donald Trump, UAE Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah binZayed Al Nahyan and Bahrain Foreign Minister Abdullatif Al Zayani standing in the portico before me, the names of the victims of that previous peace agreement rushed through my head. David Biri, Nachson Waxman, Kochava Biton, Ohad Bachrach, Ori Shachor, theLapids, the Ungars, the Fogels, the Schijveschuurders, Madhat Yusuf, Shalhevet Pas and on and on and on. I have been demonized as an "extremist," a "far right-winger," an "enemy of peace" and a "fascist" by members of the so-called "peace camp." Think tanks and professionalswith ties to the European Union-the co-sponsor of the fake peace process-were afraid to invite me to speak, cite my articles or to review my book. Now, 27 years and two days later, the Palestinians were outside the White House with Israeli "peace activists" protesting the peace ceremony at the White House. The EuropeanUnion is boycotting the peace ceremony. And sitting in the audience with me are politicians and leaders like Zionist Organization of American President Mort Klein; Sen. Ted Cruz; radio host Mark Levin and former presidential candidate and evangelical leaderGary Bauer, whom I met with over over the past decades to discuss the dangers of fake peace to Israel, and who like me devoted themselves to ending the lie that peace is possible with people who justify the murder of innocent Israelis as a form of "legitimateresistance," only to be reviled by the "peace camp" for speaking the truth. Many of the guests made the effort to come to the White House even in the midst of the global pandemic because it is clear that this peace is something else. As people likeMossad director Yossi Cohen have said, it only seems like this event happened suddenly. It didn't. It is the outgrowth of years of work by dedicated officials from all sides who quietly and carefully cultivated ties based not on lies but on real common interestsand common concerns. The UAE, Bahrain and Israel have come together because of the courageous leadership of President Trump and his advisers who were willing to acknowledge the reality on the ground and listen to the voices of those who opposed what happenedat the White House 27 years ago. Trump and his team were willing to break ranks with generations of American policymakers who insisted that terrorists are the true peacemakers, that the road to peace is appeasement and that those who look for mutual respect,human decency and shared interests as the basis of peace are right-wing warmongers. This peace is not a function of Netanyahu changing his tune, as his Likud predecessors Ariel Sharon, Ehud Olmert and others did, and joining the chorus of the fake peacecamp. This peace owes to Netanyahu staying true to the core truths at the root of the anti-Oslo protests: You cannot make peace with people who justify your murder and seek your destruction. You can only make peace with those who accept you as you are forwhat you are. This peace is real peace. It is a peace to celebrate and cultivate. It is a peace based on respecting, and missing and loving and never forgetting the victims of the politicaltheater that happened here 27 years ago. Where this peace will lead is unclear. The sky's the limit. But unless something goes terribly wrong, it will not lead to more Jewish victims of fake peace.
