The coming of the Messiah and the subsequent redemption of Israel is a basic belief of Judaism. God will bring the redemption in His own time. If all Israel were to return to God, the Messiah would appear and the final redemption would be ushered in immediately. Otherwise, the redemption will not occur until the final time decreed by God.

After more than three years of the intifada, Israel has decided to build a protective fence that would separate “Israel proper” from the “West Bank” and protect its citizens from murderous assaults which so far have caused over 1,000 Jewish deaths.

“The thought that a Palestinian state next to Israel would be a peaceful neighbor is ludicrous. … The Arab world is presently comprised of 22 states of nearly 5 million square miles. … There seems to be no need for another Muslim Arab state, especially for one that would serve as an advance base for the ultimate destruction of Israel.” That statement is from an organization called Flame, which dissects Arab statements with a red-hot scalpel.
