Palestinian Authority plan for a Palestinian state

The Palestinian Authority is still considering asking the United Nations to unilaterally declare a Palestinian state called Palestine. Obviously this state would incorporate land that belongs to Israel. Such a declaration by the U.N. would force the nations of the Earth to either side with or against Israel.

It would be very dangerous for any nation to side against Israel in such a scenario, however we do know that the day will come when all nations will come against Israel.

It does concern me that the current trend of U.S. foreign policy is to push for a Palestinian state at all costs. Should such a declaration be made by the U.N., and should the U.S. support it, trouble could be on the horizon for the U.S.

Syria drawing Israel's attention

The following article details the growing concern that Israel and the United States have over Syria. Part of the concern both nations have is Syria's relationship with Lebanon.

Both nations are prophesied to be involved in military conflicts with Israel in the last days (Psalm 83, Isaiah 17). It will be interesting to keep watching to see if the current tensions are temporarily resolved, or if the long ago prophesied clashes break out soon.
