WHAT THE ARAB SPRING HAS WROUGHT


While American liberals reacted with glee over the uprisings across the Middle East, including the overthrow of Egypt's Hosni Mubarak, what has been the outcome? We find in Egypt, for instance, there has been a growing anti-Israel sentiment and, within Israel, a growing concern that Israel is now more vulnerable to attack than before. The Arab Spring in Egypt has given permission for the more destabilizing elements within Islam to become more prominent in the region.

The proponents of the uprisings, here in the U.S., lauded the overthrown of Egypt's Hosni Mubarak, ignoring the fact that for decades Mubarak has held back the more violent streams within Islam, the Muslim Brotherhood for instance, thus maintaining a semblance of peace between Egypt and Israel.

But now?

We're seeing Israel coming under a growing threat. This week we have seen two attacks on Israel, stemming from the Gaza Strip -- which is between Israel and Egypt.

THURSDAY ATTACK ON ISRAEL: Reuters reported that "Gunmen kill six in Israel in attack near Egypt border." News item here (or below).

FRIDAY ATTACK ON ISRAEL: Israeli News reported that "Synagogue Hit as Grad Missiles Fired at Be’er Sheva and Ashdod." News item here (or below).

This reminds me of Prophet Kim Clement's comment that Islamic radicals were attempting a 30 day attack on Israel (an attack a day) for September, 2011, marking the 10th anniversary of 9/11. But in Clement's word, he says that this plan will be prevented.

Prayer is needed for the peace in Israel.
