ISRAEL'S ORANGE TROOPS

The momentum of the Orange Movement must continue to mobilize in order that there be no further withdrawals from any portion of the Land of Israel. The urgency and energy must be channeled toward ensuring there is no division of Jerusalem, or of the West Bank. The Palestinian Islamic enemy has now stated specifically that Jerusalem and the West Bank will be their next strategic focus as they march toward Israel's demise. Jerusalem must be protected, and no one must be allowed to fragment the West Bank. Many of Israel's idealistic youth will be in danger of disillusionment, since their efforts failed to result in the saving of Gaza and the Shomron communities. They may seriously begin to doubt whether any effort is worth it at all! They need to be reassured that their protests and hours of volunteer work were definitely appreciated, and that their efforts indeed have raised the awareness of the seriousness of Israel's survival in the face of the Islamic enemy. The energy of the Orange Movement must be harnessed, and redirected into positive, well-orchestrated programs, that will multiply their efforts toward the preserving and building of the Nation. Some members may be best directed toward the political arena, assuring a viable religious right-wing that has the strength and following to form the next government. It is obvious the Likud is now in trouble after Ariel Sharon's hypocrisy and manipulative tactics. He was elected on a platform of no land concessions, and then ran roughshod over those promises. He is trying to win back the trust of the masses by stating there will be no more withdrawals, and Jerusalem will not be divided. He buckled under international pressure before. What is to prevent him from buckling again? Who is able to trust him to live up to his promises now? Because of how the Withdrawal debacle was brought about, the democratic process has been severely undermined. Trust in the democratic process must be restored, and integrity brought back to the floor of the Knesset. The people of Israel must let it be known the government has been placed under public surveillance, and no shenanigans will now be tolerated! If it means the formation of a new right-wing political party, then there is no time to waste. Just be sure the movement is strong enough, and high profile enough, to ensure the vote will not be split in the upcoming election! At the same time, another strategical tact must now be mobilized. Those sympathetic to the Orange Movement, but not necessarily willing to join with a specific political party, must become a strong lobby, effectively influencing the government across the entire political spectrum. The Gaza and Shomron anti-disengagement movement has become a force to be reckoned with. Just because the Withdrawal is complete does not mean their voice is no longer needed. In fact, now may be their best opportunity to reach into the heart of the nation regarding the issues which will effect Israel's very existence. The challenge will be in making certain all Israeli citizens are kept informed about the issues and the ramifications. The entire Land must be embraced, and guarded, like a family standing together against outsiders. The Israeli family, like any loving family, may have its internal squabbles, but woe-betide anyone attempting to attack any family member, or make-off with any family possessions or property! They may have done it once, but they won't get away with it the next time! Instead of tiredness and discouragement, the flames of faith, love, understanding, and togetherness must be fanned. The Jews are G_d's Chosen Nation! The Orange Movement has already begun to tap into this understanding and reality! Gaza may temporarily be lost to the wiles of the enemy, but G_d too has a Plan! Now is the time to be on G_d's side, and understand His purposes. The Roadmap being perpetrated upon Israel is not G_d's ultimate will for Israel! However, the Covenant will only be fulfilled by those willing to follow the L_rd G_d of Israel. The Orange Movement and the Settlers have begun to understand the will and purposes of G_d, but the entire nation must be brought on-side also. The door of opportunity is now wide open! The challenges ahead are not going to be easy to face, and great faith and determination will be needed. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and their descendants, were promised the Land. The Jews are the people of that Promise! This truth must not only be mentally understood, but grasped within the very DNA of the nation! The end of the story is already written by the Prophets. Now its up to the People of the Promise to get with the program! Will Israel now have peace and safety as Israel's PM Ariel Sharon and President Bush of the USA promised would result from the Withdrawal? Apparently not! The enemies of Israel will see to it no peace results! They have threatened there will be no peace until every last Jew is forcibly run out of the Middle East! They have openly declared War! It has been said that war in the mind of one is a state of war itself. For Israel, who desires above all else just to be allowed to exist in peace, only unrest and war appear on the horizon. Now is not the time to sit under a blanket of false hope, because the enemy is already prepared to attack! The days ahead will be fraught with danger, and with painful choices, but those who refuse to be lulled to sleep with false promises will not only survive, but will ultimately thrive. The Captain of the L_RD's Host stands ready to lead Israel's army of faith, to go in and possess the Land! But, do not run ahead of the L_RD. And, do not break ranks. The Orange Movement may be a vital troop of this mighty army!
