War Gaming Knows No Limits - No Matter How Dumb or Not

In this observation, which might never have been written until this was read; [They call Palestinian Arabs "Palestinians," thus leaving little doubt as to who are the owners of Palestine (from the river to the sea)], the rationale of which is central to why there will never be peace in the region until at least the labeling is settled on a special truth – only by the ludicrous political interferences of the British and French after world war one did the appellation for the region become known as 'Palestine.' Echoing the so many other times this has been noticed, 'Palestine' is a Romanized/romanticized fictional name that has no other basis in history other than to those who think they can steal the land by renaming it.

It is Israel, not 'Palestine,' that has the historical implications here; and it is Israel's Eternal Sovereign Who is going to eventually secure the rights of ownership, possession and authority to claim ALL the promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. ISIS/ISIL/IS and its anti-Semitic tirades north of the land of Israel have already announced they have their own plan of action to diminish and eliminate Israel; but their logic for doing so is already defeated. How might one make that assumption?

Babylon tried, destroying the first temple; and now where is Babylon? The Medo-Persians relented and the beginnings of the second temple were started. After years of degradation of the temple sacrifices and rebellion of Israel against her Eternal Sovereign, the Romans being allowed to destroy the second temple; where are the Romans now?

In recent times, which of these empire/states can claim they have the eternal plan to displace Israel and replace the promises of the Eternal Sovereign who has clearly demonstrated that Israel's destiny is in HIS hands, the rest of the world's nations notwithstanding: Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Iran/Iran, etc.?. How bout the ventures of the west, the intrusions of papal interventions as the successor interest to early Christians who thought Jesus said (but He did not), go and conquer Jerusalem.

Have they not read; have they not heard (?): Jerusalem is Jesus' to conquer, not some meager attempt by a feckless religiosity and certainly not by some misguided intervention by a military action that cannot possibly defeat what the LORD has commissioned.

That having been said, the imagined blame upon the western media of providing war-gaming footage to incite the enlistment 'quotas' for jihadists sounds like a progressive argument for adjusting the attitude of a conflicted voting public to ease up on the 'lack of a plan' to deal with the continuation of the 'Arab Upheavals', part eleven. Died in the wool jihadists need to such incitement; they have their own internal issues to keep the home fire burning and there is no outage of outrages to keep them coming for more, and more, and more.
