Using God for cover and who loves most the Temple Mount and
Al Quds, violence is escalating across the Levant to new and dangerous heights.
The October upsurge leaves Israelis and Palestinians dead and
wounded in Tit for Tat gun and knife attacks some are calling a third Intifada.
The use of holy sites and access to them by those who believe
sites to be sacred is hardly the true reason for this bout of senseless murder.
Why would Jewish Israel or Islamic Jordon do any harm to the “Temple Wall” or
the “Al Aqsa” compound. Isn’t praying to God supposed to be a peaceful activity!
None in any Government will see wisdom in destruction of
these sites.

| No change! Gun and knife attacks return across the land; for the Love of God and Al-Quds. The start of a possible third Intifada. Image shows a Jewish settler in Hebron and a Palestinian in the West Bank during the first Intifada 1990. |
However, across the river and north of Damascus the armies of
Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, Turkey and Russia are co-operating, albeit in small
numbers, to confront an array of Saudi inspired and financially backed insurgents,
rebels and Islamic militias. This theatre can only provide further practical battlefield
experience and tactical upgrades for soldiers and offices alike.
Although almost all of the belligerent factions are opposites
of each other in some shape or form, most of their political masters harbour visions
of former regional power status. Such is the complications of a post Ottoman
Empire.
The Middle East has fluctuated in and out of Empire and Dynasty
since Sumerian and Babylonian times.
It is an old saying that inviting foreign armies into ones
country is easier than asking them to leave. It just takes another excuse to
further a cause and as we already know an excuse for war is not always the
reason. Ask those who lament and die for
the “Love of God and Al Quds”
Should the third Intifada gathers momentum over protection of
holy sites in Jerusalem- so will the numbers of waring hordes amassing beyond
the Jordon River and north of Damascus!
As winners are declared in coming battles; rest assured the
victorious will not make the same folly as Crusader General George Bush by putting
defeated professional Iraqi warriors on the military market to morph into the present
Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (Isis). The magnanimous gift of a new suit of armour with payment to fight for a glorious cause will keep these newly developing armies trained, primed and intact.
