Much has been said about the oncoming war between Israel and Iran, its impact on the world and the much dreaded nuclear confrontation.  

    Fact.  Iran will never hit Israel with a nuclear missile.  Why?  Israel is the unifying factor that keeps Iran from descending into civil war and the Shiite Ayatolahs in power.  Conclusion, the Ayatolahs NEED Israel.

  Much has also been said about the creation of a Palestinian state.

  Fact.  The Palestinians need Israel for electricity, trade, internet, water, medical care, payment of government workers, and tax revenue.  Israel also is the unifying factor that keeps the Palestinian Arabs from descending into chaos.  Additionally the Arab states and Iran (a Persian state) talk about a Palestinian state but are not willing to pony up cash when they are called on to give money to the Palestinian cause. Israel feeds the Palestinians and they could not survive without Israel.  The leadership knows this and does not truly seek a two state solution because it wants power (which it has) not a state. Constant conflict without a state is their goal.  Conclusion, the Palestinian Arabs and their leadership NEED Israel.

  Much has been also said about Israel needing the U.S.A. 

  Fact. While this may have been true in the past, Israel is rumored to have the third largest stockpile of Nuclear weapons (including intercontinental ballistic missiles), it has military and economic alliances with India, China, Vietnam, South Korea, Cyprus, a very large block of Mid-African nations, South Africa, and it is rumored to have military alliances with a small block of Gulf States.  Most importantly it has a viable system of taking out missiles 1000 miles away.  You don’t need America if you can defend your borders from Nuclear attack and have the capability to hit targets anywhere in the world via nuclear submarine and intercontinental ballistic missile. Israel is also self sufficient in terms of food, technology, water, and now energy as it has discovered vast reserves of natural gas. The United States in fact could not conquer Israel without initiating a nuclear war.  Conclusion, Israel is not only a regional superpower, but perhaps the most powerful country after the U.S., Russia, and China.  And only after these because of its lower population.

    The the real war in Israel is not being fought against non-Jews.  The real war in Israel is not even socioeconomic since Israelis are for the most part fairly balanced in their economic status (there are very few Israelis who are very rich).  This is in fact a stabilizing factor and prevents civil war. 

    The war is being fought by three different groups in the Israeli political arena and to a lesser extent in the military arena.

    On the one hand you have the Jews that are considered Religious Extremists even by the Religious. They are vocal and gaining strength, however their weakness is that they are splintered and cannot gain the hearts of those that are not already Religious Jews.They double in numbers every 20 years.

    The second group is the Religious Moderates and though they do not differ in belief from the Extremists they are growing extremely powerful, unified, and unlike the Extremists popular. Their strength lies in that their leadership seeks to unify religious and nonreligious alike. They have the hearts of a significant amount of the masses and are gaining numbers from the Extremist camp.  Their leadership is also seeking to clarify religious law by differentiating between the absolute requirements of religious law and the additional restrictive customs adopted by different Jewish groups throughout history. They are also very warm to the masses through outreach and advocacy for the poor and elderly.  They soon will be the largest single school of Orthodoxy.  Their leader is widely accepted as the Rabbinic head of the Spanish and Arab Jews, if not the Rabbinic head of the Jewish people.  His only equal is 101 years and is very sick.  A unification of Orthodoxy has not happened for centuries. It is going to happen soon.

     Then there are the secularists in Israel.  They like the Extremists do not attract numbers outside of their group, and though they are 60% of the population they have a low birth rate , are divided into two camps, and are loosing voters faster than they are gaining them. Though in charge of the government the secular camps must make concessions to both Moderates and Extremists to maintain their governments.  They are loosing power and are unable to retain a majority of seats in the Lawmaking body without support from the Moderates and Extremists.  The Moderates and the Extremists always vote together.

    The war in Israel Indeed the entire middle eastern conflict revolves not around IF the Jews have control.  This is already accepted as a fact (though not publicly).

    The conflict in the middle east is in fact war over which Jews are going to have control.  It is war between Jewish Secularism and Traditional Judaism. the Secularists side with the Muslims and the Christians. For though they claim to want the destruction of a Jewish State what they mean is a State ruled according to Jewish Traditions and Laws.  The Secularists are found in the Jewish groups friendly to the two state solution and the appeasement movements.  The truth is a Jewish State according to Traditional Jewish Law is directly in conflict with both passages in the Koran and Christian Holy texts that are integral to the core beliefs of both faiths. Additionally major figures in both faiths have said this will never happen.  The Secularists do not want Religious Jews to gain the reins of power for other reasons, for while Secular Judaism does not deny The Jewish G-D or the validity of Jewish law as a legal and ethical system unlike Traditional Judaism it does not recognize prophecy as being more than an advanced form of forward thinking.  The return of Jewish Law to Israel coupled with the restoration of Israel and Jerusalem to the Jews would in fact be a deathblow to Secularism because secularism has its roots in the assimilation of the Jews into the nations as a cultural heritage not a unified religious tradition. 

     The thing no one wants to say is that The Religious Jews have already become so entrenched within Israeli politics that the foundation to a Judaic State has already been laid out. It began with the restoration of Israel to the Jews.  It might have been prevented had the State of Israel not reconquered Jerusalem after 1900 years.  This led to a surge in worldwide return to Traditional Judaism leading many Jews to return to Israel, a significant amount of them Religious.  The real deathblow to secular Judaism was the law of return.  Most secular Jews are in America and while supportive of Israel they only visit Israel not MOVE to Israel.  This law allows all Jews entry into Israel along with citizenship. The return of Jews from Russia, Europe, The Middle East, Latin America, and from Iran when the Shah fell strengthened the Religious not necessarily because they were very Religious themselves, but because they had Respect for The Rabbinic establishment. They will always vote with their Religious leaders. Since Israel is after all a democracy, and these groups all vote in blocks, over a period of 30 year they have come to a point where they control about 25 of the 120 seats in the legislative body. The Secularists are not unified and are divided into two major camps they have a total of about 75 seats.  The problem for the secularists is that none of the secularist movements ever have more than 40 seats at a time. This makes the Religious Jews the kingmakers since the two major secularists movements are made up of those for a Palestinian State, and The Secular Nationalist groups. There is no middle ground.  They both must make concessions to The Religious movement to form a government.  The Nationalists are in fact merging with the Moderate Religious movements and as Israelis become more fearful those for a two state solution they become either Nationalists or Religious Moderates. The Nationalists, however, lose more voters to the Religious than they gain from the Two State block and soon the religious will have over 45 seats.  Once this happens the Nationalists groups will still be larger than the other secularists, but will not be large enough to form a government even with their rivals. The rests of the seats are controlled by Socialist,  Settler and Arab groups. 20 seats of which about 12 are pro Religious and Nationalist.  The religious only need 16 seats to establish a permanent majority and could easily absorb enough of these factions once there is one religious authority.  If at this point the Nationalist parties choose to join with the Religious party they would have over 90 seats.  They could then restructure the government.  They might be able to do this with only 70 seats.

   Israel is going to become a Judaic State.  It will be once  again the center of the entire Religious Jewish world as well as the focal point of secular Jews.  With Rabbinic Law in a Jewish Israel with Jerusalem as its capital restored the world the Jews will only have one goal left.  The rebuilding of the Third Temple.

    This is the thing Secularism, Christianity, and Islam do not want, for this is the fulfillment of the promise to The Children of Israel and it is a threat to the core of every belief system based on Judaism including Christianity or Islam.

    This would validate Judaism in the eyes of many non-Jews and would lead to mass conversions.  This is the reason for the conflict.  The flaws in Christianity and Islam are that the restoration of Rabbinic Judaism to power validates the Pharisees and contradicts the claims of Jesus.  In Islam the claim of Mohammed that The Children of Israel are not The true Jews and that Ishmael was the one chosen for the birthright would be disproved.

     Last of all this would finally refute the claim of both Christianity and Islam that the sin of the golden calf would not ever be forgiven, after all Israel has not been ruled by Jews without interference by the Non-Jewish world under Jewish law since before the reign of Nebuchadnezzar During The Babylonian Empire. The restoration of an Independent Israel ruled according to Jewish Law would return it to the state it was in 2400 years ago. Everything short of a Temple. 

    In short Biblical Israel restored to The Jews.  This is what the middle eastern conflict is about.  It is and has always been to prevent this one thing.  As I said the foundations have been laid, things are coming to a head.  A Biblical State is coming and nothing short genocide will stop it.  Israel will not fall without a nuclear war.  So you see a Biblical Israel is coming.  And the conflict in the middle east is now only about prolonging the inevitable.
