A Proclamation Regarding Israel

SUBJECT OF PROCLAMATION: Toward a new US/Israel policy

SUBMITTED TO: President Barak Obama

WHEREAS, pro-Israel Christian’s support of the modern State of Israel as a partial fulfillment of God’s covenant promise to provide a national homeland for the Jewish people in anticipation of their ultimate redemption when Messiah comes; and

WHEREAS, These God-decreed covenants have an everlasting validity and relevance for the modern State of Israel. Recognizing this requires opposition to the U.S. insistence that Israel abandon places like Hebron, the burial site of the patriarchs and matriarchs, and the capital city of the first Jewish commonwealth under King David, and Bethlehem, a city of specific importance to our Christian community; and

WHEREAS, The legal validity of the modern State of Israel has been established by international law in The Balfour Declaration of November 1917, determined at the San Remo Conference of April 1920, confirmed and implemented by The British Mandate at the League of Nations in July 1922, formalized by the United Nations partition resolution of 1947, authenticated by the official recognition of the State of Israel by United States in May of 1948 and Israel’s admission to the United Nations in 1949; and

WHEREAS, Since its birth as a nation Israel has been under relentless attack by Arabs and Palestinians whose goal is not, and never has been, peace with Israel but its total annihilation. With 40 percent of its water resources gone, its Samarian invasion routes in the hands of Fatah, its coastal waistline reduced to nine miles, its only airport within shoulder-guided missile range and its repartitioned capital a stomping ground for the Al-Aksa Martyrs Brigades, Israel’s “viability” will end the day it permits the creation of a Jihadist “Palestine” of any size, anywhere between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River. All other consideration aside, there is simply no room within the sliver of land separating those two bodies of water for a “viable” Israel and any other sovereign entity be it friend or foe; and

WHEREAS, The various peace proposals advanced by the United States, including the Obama administration’s “Land for Peace” to be implemented by a “Two-State Solution,” have been historically and factually verifiable failures; and, if implemented places the very existence of Israel in great peril.

WHEREAS, These failures have been a result of a dysfunctional denial of the stated goals of Palestinian Jihadists and other Iran sponsored terrorist groups such as Hizbollah to destroy Israel, including the continuing efforts to appease Israel’s enemies by requiring Israel to give up land for peace; and

WHEREAS, There can be no realistic expectation of regional peace until Palestinian Jihadists, including Hisbollah are defeated, disarmed and their terrorist infrastructure dismantled; therefore be it

RESOLVED, That the Obama administration’s “Road Map to Peace” with its “Land for Peace” and “Two-State Solution” and “divided Jerusalem” be deemed failures and discontinued; and be it further

RESOLVED, That a serious and engaged consideration be given to a new US/Israel policy that would be comprehensive and practical in dealing with the realities on the ground as well as honoring of God’s covenant promises to Israel.
