Several times I have attempted to write this article and found that I was so upset with this spineless Liberal Left Wing Israeli Government that there always seemed to be so much bitterness coming through that I stopped writing.  Now I have decided to just tell it like it is, bitter or sweet, like it or not. 

We here in Israel buried two wonderful young Jewish men today, not much more than boys but Jews who loved their country and were willing to make the supreme sacrifice for it.  Both were bright intelligent boys with a great future and they left behind heart broken families who will never really get over the pain they feel today.  But these two boys had one thing in common with nearly every Israeli, they wanted to live in peace with their Arab neighbors, but discovered that their Arab neighbors have no intentions of ever giving up their desire to kill Jews just because they are Jews, for they do the Devil’s bidding.

We have a Prime Minister who likes to say pretty words to tickle the ears of the people, but at the same time he ties the hands of the IDF in order too please his task master.  We have a Defense Minister appointed by our sweet talking Prime Minister who has absolutely no experience for the job, and that became very evident over the past 48 hours.  We have a Chief of Staff who was in charge of the IAF and has no idea how to run the ground operations of the IDF that also became evident over the past 48 hours.  For if the PM, Defense Minister, and the Chief of Staff had known what they are doing they would have immediately launched a ground attack pinning down these kidnappers.  Now they have had enough time to even ship our soldier out of Gaza to Egypt or Syria. 

Another failure to place on these three men is the tunnel these terrorist dug was over 250 meters right under the IDF post, yet today we have no intelligence in Gaza, because of the Gaza Disengagement, but had they had the right surveillance in place that tunnel would have never been finished before it was discovered and those two young Jews would be alive today, and we would not be looking for the one these Islamic murderers kidnapped. 

Right now IDF tanks are massing on the Gaza border, and once again our Defense minister who has no idea what he is doing is reluctant to give the order to advance.  Giving the Hamas Terrorist all the time they need to move the Kidnapped soldier far away and to get ready for the IDF assault should Peretz ever gain the courage to give the order.  And the Prime Minister untie the hands of the IDF, but not until the terrorist disappear back behind their women and children.  But have no fear we will blow up a bunch of empty buildings as usual. 

One thing is certain the message that has been sent to the Hamas Terrorist is the IDF has lost its will to fight, and they can now get away with almost any aggression.  This is certainly not the IDF we here in Israel has grown to respect.  This is the same IDF that was demoralized by Ariel Sharon when he forced them to drag Jews from there homes in Gaza, telling everyone that it would bring peace.  Now Sharon’s crony Olmert wants to give the Hamas terrorist an even larger part of the land God promise His people. 

Hamas offered to give information on the whereabouts of the kidnapped IDF soldier if Israel would release all the women and 18 year old prisoners being held by Israel.  They did not say they would release him just give information.  Most if not all the 18 year old Arab terrorist were planning to be suicide bombers. 

Okay so I sound bitter, but the truth is I am more mad than bitter.  You see I like many others here know that it is Bush who holds Olmert back and who calls the shots.  We haven’t had a real leader in the Prime Ministers office since Menachem Begin and I don’t see one anywhere on the horizon.  But as Believers we all know who is really in control, and it is God who will bring His Word to pass, but as mere men and women we find it had to understand when it starts raining on the just and the unjust alike. 

But there is one thing I know in the spirit, and that is we have precious little time to prepare for the ministry God has given us, and we simply cannot afford to fail for so much depends on it and so many will be depending on us who at this point don’t even know what we are doing. 

I stand in amazement as I witness the Ruach Ha Koddesh put this ministry together that is why I believe that God has touched those who will give on time to bring the final part of this ministry together. 

It is necessary for us to make a short trip towards the end of the week so it will be a few days before you can hear from me again.  I am asking you for your prayers, as we will be traveling in hostile territory to say the least.  Once again I asking everyone called to this ministry to pray about your part, for without it all that God has called us to do will not be accomplish, this is a Body Ministry and you are an important part of it. 

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, for our son Joel and all the IDF soldiers.  Pray for a this Ministry and your part in it.  Shalom, jerry golden
