WEB Notes: The nation named Israel today was founded on May 14th 1948, but the capturing of Jerusalem did not take place until the year 1967. Many believe 1948 to be the point in time that begins the “fig tree” generation that Christ told us of. I certainly believe it is within the realm of possibility that this counter started in “1967”. Regardless, we are closing in on the end of that “generation”.
Israel is to hold lavish celebrations over the coming weeks to mark the 50th anniversary of what it calls the “liberation of Judea, Samaria and the Golan Heights” – or what the rest of us describe as the birth of the occupation.
The centrepiece event will take place in Gush Etzion, south of Jerusalem. The West Bank settlement “bloc” enjoys wide support in Israel, not least because it was established long ago by the supposedly left-wing Labour party, now heading the opposition.
The jubilee is a potent reminder that for Israelis, most of whom have never known a time before the occupation, Israel’s rule over the Palestinians seems as irreversible as the laws of nature. But the extravagance of the festivities also underscores the growth over five decades of Israel’s self-assurance as an occupier.
Documents found this month in Israel’s archives reveal that, when Israel captured East Jerusalem in 1967, its first concern was to hoodwink the international community.

Naturally.
DECEPTION has ALWAYS been the stinking jews’ only way to survive.
I’ll hold off celebrating until the glass ashtray is achieved.
