global observance
Many events have happened over the last few days, of global significance. From Israel, I can only read about and observe the various situations. Number one being the weather conditions in Europe and parts of America. Next Thursday, I will travel from Israel to Munich Germany, with a 12 hour layover, then on to the US weather permitting. Europe is suffering from its worst storm ever. Flights are being cancelled at all major airports, and Germany's major railway Die Bahn (which I travel regularly) has closed down for the first time ever. Read more about the situation here.
I have also heard about the extreme weather conditions across the US, including southern California, my home of 13 years. Many of the citrus and avocado crops (the state's main agricultural resource) have been destroyed, and temperatures have been freezing with snow. I hope most of that clears up by the time I reach San Diego (where I will visit in early February). Fortunately the Chargers do not have to play in that weather, though unfortunate they will not be in the Super Bowl. Related to the CA situation, I heard that Arnold Schwartzenegger may run for US President, should the US Constitution make an exception for him not being born in America.
On the local front, this past week I had the opportunity to attend another Ambassador's Forum (second in a series here on campus) with the Middle East Studies and Political Science departments. This time the US Ambassador to Israel spoke. He covered many issues, including the US involvment in Iraq (which MUST continue in the best interest of both the US and Iraq), and the Israel-Palestine 2-state solution. It's a no-brainer to see the importance of this offer, Hamas just needs to recognize Israel's right to exist. Generally, if a state or country has been created, and borders have been defined through government treaties, then it does in fact physically EXIST. Whether or not Israel has a RIGHT to exist should also be self-evident within this framework.
One final issue of importance, again reaffirming the signs of the last days (in addition to severe weather conditions as God shakes the earth) is the prophetic aspect of China's involvement. While US/Chinese relations have been good over the years, its time for China to step into the global arena. Integrating my technology background into my global paradigm and anticipation of apocalyptic events, it should come as no surprise that China may very well cut the US off in some fashion. My own prediction involved them cutting off the US's supply of goods produced in China. Read this article to understand the global dominance of this country, and its impact on the global community.
