FINAL WARNING: The Shining Star
They men bowed down, and prayed to the ‘God of their Fathers’ to
have the strength to die, rather than face being captured. When they
got up, they saw the Egyptian strike force engaged in retreat. Behind
these lines was a car, which the Israelis captured. Inside the car was
one of Nasser’s commanding generals, who said that they were
retreating because they had been surrounded by an army dressed in
white. Israel had no such army there. The 18,000 soldiers were never
heard from again. A six-week search in Israel, the Sinai Desert, and
Egypt failed to turn up any clues. Since it was already established that
Israel did not have the resources to capture such a large number of
men, what could have happened? National Geographic reported that
on November 7, 1957, at 6:33 a.m. there was an earthquake of
substantial proportions on the Sinai peninsula, which lead to the
speculation that the army could have been swallowed up by the earth.
If this report was true, it most certainly was a sign that the Jews were
indeed God’s chosen people.The Soviet Union began sending equipment to Iraq and Syria, while
they continued to interfere in the internal affairs of other Arab nations
through military coups and political assassinations. Only U.S. and
British intervention prevented Communist takeovers in the Middle
East, as in July 1958, when the Marines landed in Lebanon; and British
forces, supporting King Hussein, landed in Jordan.On March 16, 1965, Nasser promised the Arabs an all-out offensive
effort against Israel, if they would unite under him, as he hoped to
become the President of the United States of Africa. He said: “We must
arm 5,000,000 men and overwhelm the Israelis by sheer military might.”In 1967, Russia sent exaggerated reports to Egypt and Syria that Israel
was preparing for war against Syria. This was a move by Syria to unify
the Arab bloc countries. In a book written by Nasser, he revealed that
his chief goal was to eliminate Israel as a nation, and to push them into
the sea. On May 26th he said: “The Arab people want to fight. We have
been waiting for the right time when we will be completely ready.” On
May 28th he said: “We will not accept any co-existence with Israel.” On
June 4th he said, concerning Israel: “We are facing you in battle and
are burning with desire for it to start to obtain revenge.” The source of
Nasser’s hatred for Israel can be traced back to a statement he made in
December, 1962: “We feel the soil of Palestine is the soil of Egypt, and
