Londonistan

In 1920, an anti-Semite Jew hater of the first order was appointed by the British government to be the grand mufti of Jerusalem. Haj Amin al-Husseini who, it could be reasonably argued, exceeded even Adolph Hitler himself in his hatred of that race. At least, from time to time, the Third Reich attempted to deport some Jews from their conquered lands rather than murder them. Not so with Amin al-Husseini. He went to his death bed decades later advocating with zeal the death of EVERY Jew on earth. The man was a purist. Chuck Morse (The Nazi Connection to Islamic Terrorism, WND Books, 164) describes the appeasing nature of the appointment with these words: After al-Husseini instigated the 1920 pogrom against the Jews of Palestine, Herbert Samuel, the British administrator of Palestine and himself a Jew, appointed him as grand mufti of Jerusalem. This act of appeasement by Samuels finds its echoes in the response by many liberal world leaders to today's terrorist threat. (bold added) The operative word above would be "appeasement" I am currently reading Israel: A History by Martin Gilbert (Harper Perennial, 2008) concerning the Zionist movement from its beginnings to the beginnings of Aliyah, through the Holocaust, the establishment of the State of Israel and the wars that the Arab neighbors forced upon the Israeli people after that. One can barely read through ten pages without references to the impediments generated by the British Mandate authorities to prevent the immigration of Jews to the land of their ancestors. These impediments were generated with zeal at times, even when the Holocaust was made manifest to the Western world and Jewish lives could have been saved by supporting that movement. After the Balfour Declaration of support for the establishment of a homeland in Palestine for the Jewish People in 1917, British support for such an establishment started to evaporate. Middle East oil began it's allure to the Western World and ninety years later appeasement seemingly has won the day. So what does that have to do with Londonistan, one might ask? Well, while reading about such things I thought of the promises made by Abraham's God concerning the fact that He would bless Abraham and his seed. Further, He would bless those who blessed, and curse those who cursed. (Gen 12:2,3) So who has "cursed" here? One could postulate that Great Britain was certainly not blessing the Hebrew people through these decades, could one not? They were zealously pursuing just the opposite up until authority was transferred from the British Mandate to the international community in the form of the United Nations. To whatever degree one would imagine that in God's eyes this was a cursing, then a delicious thought (delicious if it were not so tragic) comes to mind in the form of poetic justice. Sixty plus years after the 1948 transfer of authority, London, the heart of British society, is being overrun by the very people whose approval they whored after at the expense of the Jewish people and nation, namely over 400,000 Muslim residents whose loyalty is to Islam and not to England. And, of course, it is becoming obvious that this infection is spreading throughout Europe. The World is snake-bit. Appeasement has won the day. It seems to me that only the Return of Christ will turn this around. We need to do what is right in His sight. Just some thoughts.
