Next time we'll use more force': "Israel's navy prepares for expected arrival of 2 more activist ships"

Israel’s status slips as governments around world condemn raid
"Regardless of what happened on the deck of the ship, the longer-term consequences for Israel could be dire. The very blockade against Gaza that Israel sought to uphold could now be undone by its own heavy-handed action. And a national policy of relentlessly confronting Hamas, the Islamic rulers of the Gaza Strip, may lose its credibility. At the very least, Israel has become more isolated than at any time in recent history, an isolation that may undermine global efforts to bring its arch-foe, Iran, to heel over its nuclear ambitions."

19 activists dead as IDF raids flotilla
It's about to really heat up around Israel now. As an evangelical Christian, I say 'bring it on!' We're supposed to be praying for the peace of Jerusalem, but we also know this won't ultimately happen until Christ comes back. This incident just hastened the return of Christ - little doubt in my mind.

And to think that less than 70 years ago, Jerusalem was deserted and unimportant - now it's the center of world attention. That's a prophetic fulfillment of Biblical proportions!

Yep, my heart aches for Israel. We know it will get worse before it gets better. Just like I know the US will continue to decline in the last days. I will continue to support Israel and am now looking for ways to help support the Israeli people. They are going to need it in the days and weeks to come.

I think Joel Rosenberg has a good charity for Israel, called the Joshua Fund.
