JERUSALEM (AFP) — Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said the "hand of God" had helped create an international climate that is favourable to Israel in its peace negotiations with the Palestinians, according to an interview published on Friday. "If there's a chance to reach an agreement in the presidential term of George Bush, that's preferable," Olmert said in an interview with the English-language Jerusalem Post published ahead of Bush's landmark visit to the region next week. "It's not merely Bush's presidency. It's a coincidence that is almost 'the hand of God:' that Bush is president of the United States, that Nicolas Sarkozy is the president of France, that Angela Merkel is the chancellor of Germany, that Gordon Brown is the prime minister of England and that the special envoy to the Middle East is Tony Blair." "What possible combination could be more comfortable for the state of Israel? So why would I gamble on what might be?" He said that despite this favourable environment, Israel would have to make concessions if it hoped to achieve peace with its Palestinian neighbours. "The world that is friendly to Israel, not the world comprised of fanatics and extremists, the world that really supports Israel, when it speaks of the future, it speaks of Israel in terms of the '67 borders. It speaks of division of Jerusalem. We must remember this." Olmert's interview was published ahead of next week's landmark visit to the region by Bush, the first one to Israel and the Palestinian territories by a sitting US president in nine years. Bush aims to advance final status negotiations that the Israeli premier and Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas relaunched at a US conference hosted by the American president in late November, after nearly a seven-year hiatus. At the time they both pledged to aim for a final agreement by the end of 2008, just weeks before Bush is to leave office. "I don't know if I will be able to meet the timetable and I never promised that I would. I said that I hoped so but I don't know. "But let me ask you: If there's a chance to reach an agreement and to get assistance to complete an agreement, what is better for us, that it be done in the era of President Bush or that of another president when we at the moment can't exactly know who that president will be and what his positions will be?" Olmert heaped praise on Bush, saying "in all my years of public life, since 1973, I don't recall that America was led by someone as friendly since the days of president (Gerald) Ford" and adding that "he doesn't apply pressure." "I don't recall another president who systematically and consistently showed the same level of commitment to Israel as George W. Bush," adding that "with him, I know for certain that he backs our red lines" and that "he doesn't say a thing that he thinks will make life harder for Israel." Olmert reiterated that "we will honour our obligations as set out in the roadmap," the 2003 international roadmap peace blueprint that called on Israel to halt settlement activity and on the Palestinians to boost security. But he reiterated that Israel had no intention of giving up some of the large settlement blocks in the occupied Palestinian territory, notably the Maale Adumim settlement east of Jerusalem -- one of West Bank's largest. "Maale Adumim is an indivisible part of Jerusalem and the State of Israel. I don't think when they're talking about settlements they are talking about Maale Adumim." The once great Nation of America has condemned itself in interfering with the Land of Israel and its God given covenant concerning its land. Yes, your eyes are not playing tricks on this statement. In the book of Genesis 12:2-3, God has given blessings to those who bless Israel and has condemnation to those who curse Israel: "I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; And you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; And in you all of the families of the earth shall be blessed." What does this have to do with America, you ask? This is just the beginning of understanding the curse American politicians have brought upon itself. America has made an unbreakable pact with the people of Ishmael to obtain oil. America has also, made an unbreakable pact with the people of Israel to help and protect their nation. These are two pacts that are impossible to maintain because of the clashes of interests within. Other passages from the prophets, in the bible says: "any one who tries to divide Israel shall be judged by God". Israel has an everlasting covenant with God and no man can change what God decrees. The prophets say that whoever divides this land will face judgement from God. "I will seek to destroy all nations that come against Israel as a nation" (Zechariah 12:1-14, 14:12), (Joel 3:19). In October 19, 1991, George Bush and Michele Gorbuchoff went to Switzerland and sponsored the Madrid Conference, in order to bring about a peace plan between the Palestinians and Israel. The plan was to divide Israel into two separate states. This land included the Golan Heights, the West Bank, the Gaza strip, and Jerusalem. At that same time a storm developed in the North Atlantic ocean sending 30 foot waves on the coast of president Bush's home. August 24, 1992 the Madrid Conference convened in Washington and is the day that Hurricane Andrew clobbered the states of Louisiana and Florida. This was a devastating storm that caused massive destruction to the East coast of America. This hurricane was happening at the same time Israel was being discussed in Washington. January 15, 1994 President Clinton, and the president of Syria were in Switzerland, calling on Israel to leave the Golan Heights and within 24 hours a major earthquake hit Northridge, California producing the largest earthquake in U.S. history, and at that time, the second largest catastrophe in U.S. history. August 24th, The final Jews were evicted from Gaza and Northern Samaria, tropical storm depression 12 started in the Bahamas, Within 24 hours, tropical storm Katrina. Within 72 hours it was hurricane Katrina and hit South West Florida. 72 hors later, it hit Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, producing the largest disaster in U.S.History. When will American politicians finally realize that they have a problem too big to handle? The problem with this two state plan in progress is that God has promised the land of Israel to the Jewish people in an unending covenant. It seems that God has not forgotten His prophecy to protect Israel from those who divide Israel's land. Help Israel, but don't dictate to Israel on the division of it's land. The curses on America are too great. All of the land that God decreed to Abraham belongs to him and his descendants. God has also told Israel not to give away it's land. This is God's property and only God will divide it if He wants to break His promise. This ever happening is unlikely. The everlasting hatred of the descendants of Isaac (Jews), by the descendants of Ishmael (Arabs), is clearly visible in the Middle East, today. The Arabs want to remove Israel from the face of the earth. The Arabs have never honored any agreement in the treaty negotiations concerning the peace between the two, and never will, until God steps in to stop this bloodshed in the world, at the climax of the "End Times".
