Prayers for Eli Yishak and Mahmoud Abbas and Jimmy Carter
Loved Ones...we are all brothers and sisters...we are brothers and sisters here and on the "other side" when we pass on...please pray we all grasp this truth...
Loved Ones…Our Lord Jesus the Christ instructed His loved ones with these words when they asked Him this question…When will the kingdom come?…
Our Lord responded, “When will the kingdom come?” “It will not come by waiting for it. It will not be a matter of saying ‘here it is or ‘there it is. Rather, the kingdom of the father is spread out upon the earth, and men do not see it.”
Now is the time for all of us to petition our Divine Parents, Mother and Father God for a prisoner exchange between Isreal and Hamas….for Hamas to free captured Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit and for Abbas, Tzipi Livni, the Israeli foreign minister to free those thousands of Hamas prisoners for an ultimate healing of this dark conflict...a conflict currently funded and promoted by those seated in the oval office of these United States of America.
Loved ones in the Middle East is a freely elected democratic government…freely elected by a majority of the people…a true democracy…and the citizens elected Hamas.
Are we as a democracy going to be living hypocrites and deny democracy to others?
At present a peacemaker…Mr. Jimmy Carter…is acting in good faith to resolve in a peaceful manner a serious conflict which is a source element in the quote “War on Terrorism”.
President Carter is attempting to make safe all persons on this planet with words of compassion…words of truth.
President Jimmy Carter has said Hamas leaders had told him they would accept a peace agreement negotiated by Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president whose Fatah faction controls the West Bank, if Palestinians approved the deal in a vote.
"They said they would accept a Palestinian state on the 1967 borders if approved by Palestinians ... even though Hamas might disagree with some terms of the agreement," Carter said.
"It means that Hamas will not undermine Abbas' efforts to negotiate an agreement and Hamas will accept an agreement if the Palestinians support it in a free vote."
Loved ones…these acts of compassion by Jimmy Carter have angered Israel by meeting with Hamas...President Carter lamented....
"The problem is not that I met with Hamas in Syria,"
"The problem is that Israel and the United States refuse to meet with someone who must be involved."
In his speech, Carter reiterated that he has no mandate to secure a peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians.
Speaking of the captured Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, who was seized by Hamas in a cross-border raid in June 2006, Carter said he was disappointed that his proposal to Hamas to release Shalit had been rejected.
But Carter said that he understood the Palestinian group could not free the Israeli soldier outside of a prisoner exchange with Israel.
Loved ones…President Carter has reiterated that he believed Hamas would accept the existence of Israel if the Palestinian population voted to accept it.
"There has been a lot of conflicting statements about this issue. But from what I understood, and announced, if Abbas and [Ehud] Olmert [the Israeli prime minister] agree to a peace deal, that would ultimately allow the two states to live side by side. Hamas was asked whether they would accept the decision - they said yes."
Carter also said the "deplorable" situation in the Gaza Strip made establishing a peace deal more urgent.
"A resolution needs to be made, as people [in Gaza] are continuing to suffer. I believe however, a greater, and more effective American role is needed here - going beyond the commitments made by the Bush administration to reach a peace agreement."
Amani Soliman, Al Jazeera's Middle East analyst, said Carter's attempt to engage Hamas was a major breakthrough.
"What he has done was a long time coming, considering that Hamas needed to be involved in the peace process," she said.
"Despite the engagement with Abbas, Tzipi Livni [the Israeli foreign minister], and other Fatah negotiators, Carter is adamant that Hamas be included in the equation – which can be viewed as a breakthrough for a Western diplomat to take this route."
Loved ones...in truth...the fact that Hamas'demonstrates a willingness to continue to secure a peace deal, implicitly reflects the group's recognition of the state of Israel.
"This effectively pulls the rug from under Israel, as they have constantly maintained that the reason they will continue isolating Hamas is because they will no recognise their state. The ball is now in Israel's court."
Loved ones…Hamas has expressed willingness to go along with Carter's proposals.
However, also from the Hamas side, the point being made that something must come in return...
What Jimmy Carter is trying to do is to break the ice - trying to get some sort of momentum going in a situation that has been utterly static.
Hamas officials said they talked to Carter about an internationally backed Israeli embargo on Gaza and a possible Israel-Hamas prisoner swap.
But Hamas did not respond to Carter's requests that it halt rocket fire on Israeli border towns and agree to talk to Eli Yishak, the Israeli deputy prime minister, about a prisoner exchange.
Over the weekend, Israel killed seven Hamas fighters in a series of air strikes with American provided planes and bombs after the group detonated two jeeps packed with explosives at an Israeli crossing on the Gaza border.
Israel and the Oval Office of the United States of America both consider Hamas a terrorist group, have criticized the loving Jimmy Carter's efforts to broker negotiations.
At this time I petition for the White Light of the Holy Spirit to surround and enclose the loving entities on both sides of this conflict…for a healing for all souls on both sides…so we all can recognize the kingdom of the father is spread out upon this earth and we do recognize it…I petition and ask that in the name of Mother and Father God.
You and all your loved ones are always in my prayers
