In an unprecedented plea for regional reconciliation, over 300 prominent Iraqis called for their country to normalize ties with Israel on Friday night.

"We demand full diplomatic relations with the State of Israel...and a new policy of normalization based on people-to-people relations with the citizens of that country," said Wissam al-Hardan, who commanded Sunni tribal militias that aligned with the United States to fight al-Qaeda in 2005 in response to the power vacuum that followed the 2003 American invasion.

Iraq has officially been at war with Israel since the Jewish state was founded in 1948. Iraqi soldiers have fought in three successive Arab wars against Israel. Saddam Hussein's secret nuclear weapons program alarmed Israel, which ultimately destroyed the Osirak reactor in Iraq in 1981, and in 1991, the Iraqi dictator fired dozens of Scud missiles at Tel Aviv and Haifa in an attempt to draw Israel into the Gulf War.

At Friday's conference in the Kurdistan region, Iraqi participants called on their country's leaders to end the state of war and join the so-called Abraham Accords. The agreements, formulated by the administration of former US President Donald Trump, were signed on the White House lawn in September 2020 between Israel, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates. Morocco and Sudan signed normalization agreements with Israel in the ensuing months.

"Abraham, peace be upon him, birthed a nation that paved the way for peace. Today, we and all his descendants from the three main religions bear responsibility to complete this path together," said Maj. Gen. Amir al-Jubouri, a former senior Iraqi army commander who participated in an unsuccessful coup d'etat against Saddam Hussein in 1989.

Al-Hardan contrasted the states that had joined the Abraham Accords with what he deemed the "warlordism and devastation" that reigned elsewhere in the region.

"We must choose between tyranny and chaos on the one hand, and an emerging axis of legality, decency, peace, and progress on the other," al-Hardan told the attendees.

The gathering, which included Sunni and Shi'ite Muslim tribal leaders, social activists and former military commanders, took place in the Iraqi Kurdistan's capital of Erbil. It was organized by the Center for Peace Communications, a New York-based nonprofit that seeks to advance closer ties between Israelis and the Arab world.

Other attendees from around the region spoke virtually to the participants, including former UAE official Ali al-Na'imi and Chemi Peres, the son of former Israeli president Shimon Peres.

Iraqi Kurds, who speak Kurdish rather than Arabic, see themselves as nationally and culturally distinct from other Iraqis. Their region has some autonomy from Baghdad; Israelis occasionally visit the area, albeit with a low profile.

Iraqi law continues to issue strict penalties to citizens and residents who maintain contact with Israelis. For decades, association with "Zionist organizations" or promoting "Zionist values" was punishable by death. A 2010 amendment to the Iraqi criminal code limited the sentence to life in prison.

Al-Hardan harshly criticized the laws against dealing with Israelis and Zionists, saying it violated the fundamental human rights of Iraqis.

"The so-called 'anti-normalization laws' in Iraq are morally repugnant, and have been repeatedly exposed by the international community as an assault on human rights and freedoms of expression and association," said al-Hardan.

A flourishing Iraqi Jewish community lived in the country for centuries, mostly in the central city of Baghdad. But as British colonial rule ended in Iraq and the State of Israel was born in Mandatory Palestine, everything began to change.

A vicious 1941 pogrom, known in Arabic as the Farhud, saw the deaths of hundreds of Iraqi Jews at the hands of their compatriots in Baghdad. The attacks were sparked by rumors that Jews had helped the British retake power in Iraq following a coup by pro-Nazi Iraqi generals.

After Israel was founded in 1948, Iraq began persecuting those Jews who remained. The government made Zionism a criminal offense, began firing Iraqi Jews from the civil service en masse; other Jewish Iraqis were arrested and executed as suspected spies.

Between 1950 and 1952, over 100,000 Iraqi Jews emigrated to Israel as part of Operation Ezra and Nehemiah. Driven to emigrate by further decades of repression and war, only a handful of Jews remain.

Iraqi Jews arrive in Israel's Lod Airport on May 1, 1950.

Calling the expulsion of Iraq's Jews "the most infamous act" in the country's decline, Hardan wrote in a Wall Street Journal op-ed on Friday that Iraq "must reconnect with the whole of our diaspora, including these Jews."

Other Iraqis who participated in Friday's conference urged their country to rebuild ties with those who arrived in Israel fleeing persecution and their descendants.

"The love and longing for these people endures in our country, while much of the property of these Jews remains in Iraq," said al-Juburi.

According to Sahr al-Ta'i, an Iraqi cultural official who participated in the conference, several working groups will be formed in the wake of the conference, including committees to improve ties between Iraq and its Jewish diaspora, trade and investment, educational reform, and advocating for the repeal of Iraq's anti-normalization laws.

Iraqi officials have said their country will not normalize ties with Israel without a just resolution of the Palestinian issue. But in 2019, Iraqi ambassador to the United States Farid Yassin noted that there were "objective reasons" to establish ties between the two countries.

"But the objective reasons are not enough," Yassin added, stressing that there are "emotional and other reasons" that make open communication between Jerusalem and Baghdad impossible.

Many Palestinians strongly oppose normalization between Israel and the broader Arab world. Both Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas and the Hamas terror group described last year's normalization accords as a "betrayal."

The response would likely be much the same should Iraq decide to normalize ties with Israel, and even cultural activities similar to Friday's conference have drawn intense condemnation. Al-Ta'i rejected the notion that normalization with Israel meant giving up on the Palestinians.

"The peace project that we are adopting does not contradict the interests of the Palestinian people. On the contrary, we see peace as the best and only way to empower the Palestinian people in building state institutions and providing better opportunities for future generations," al-Ta'i said.

"Israel today, as you know, is a strong country and an inseparable part of the world and the United Nations. Iraq cannot neglect this fact and live in isolation from the world," she added.

The Nimrod Effect

(is)

The desire of mankind to attempt to "outsmart God" and in the process become their "own god" making their own plans, building their own Towers towards heaven, bliss and peace. To be one people with one purpose. Which is the essence of the New World Order. It was the Old World Order of things, and God didn't stand for it then at Babel and He will not stand for any "New World Order" as this article advocates in an elusive peace that can never be obtained in a non-peaceful world, a fallen world, sinful cancerous pollution in God's perfect Universe. The very attempt to make peace between these two factions of people God has decreed as opposites will surely fail. Then the sudden destruction that will be the result will be the destruction by God's own hand when Jesus returns to bring it all to the final conclusion and eternal end.

Most if not all of the Christian world today along with Judaism and Islam will see this "call for peace" between Iraq and Israel in very different ways. For me! (Whitewash is NOT "WHITE PAINT"). What has recently taken place in this so-called effort to seek "peace" between Iraq and Israel in the "calls for normalization with Israel" at a conference in Erbil on Friday, September 24, 2021, is nothing short of the same thing Nimrod of ancient Babylon attempted and that was to "defy the living God." For the astute Bible student, this attempt will be seen quite differently from the mainline Christian religious views who are made up primarily of the Evangelical Christian church in America. All of them will be somewhat leaping on the pulpits with joy proclaiming that God has finally brought "peace to Israel" through the Abraham Accords created by Donald John Trump.

What they are unable to see is that any attempt to bring peace to the Middle East be it in Israel or any other Arab nation other than Israel is a direct contradiction to the Will of God. There will be no real peace in the Middle East until God Himself establishes it after this world as we know it is completely "destroyed" and made new, and the New Jerusalem is established upon Earth. That's not going to happen for another 1005 years. Any attempt to thwart the will of God by any entity upon earth is sure to fail. Why? Because God decreed it so! When the handmaid of the wife of Abraham called Hagar was pregnant by Abraham with child it was an attempt to "give God a hand" to help God fulfill His promise to Abraham of the promised seed named Isaac who would later be born to the couple just as God promised them.

Mankind does not have patience enough to wait upon God. God had promised to give Abraham a "seed" to pass on his inheritance and the promise and the covenant of God made to Abraham for succeeding generations after him. Sarah and Abraham both "laughed" at God's promise! Sarah concocted her own plan to "help God" fulfill His promise by taking her handmaid Hagar the Egyptian to her husband Abraham and committed many grievous sins in the process. This very act of Sarah the wife of Abraham was by her actions a fulfillment of God's statement made in Eden at the fall when God told Adam this when speaking of Eve's desire over her husband: Gen 3:16(b) and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. Abraham failed to rule over his wife, and Sarah fulfilled the desire over her husband and Abraham allowed it. This was his gravest mistake!

Sarah took Hagar the Egyptian handmaid to he husband Abraham, she caused her own husband to commit "marital infidelity" and the sin of adultery against herself, and the sin of "spiritual fornication and adultery" against God Himself in her perceived efforts to "give God a hand" in the promised seed. It has been ever since the fall that the "feminine" aspect of humanity has always desired to rule over the masculine aspect. This is done in a myriad of ways! Why do you suppose God didn't reveal Himself "as a woman" to Adam and Eve in their Garden Home of Eden? God can be anything He chooses and take any form He chooses. He could have appeared as feminine had He chose to do so. Had He done so Adam would have been disappointed in Eve as she would not have been the perfect woman that God would have presented to the eyes of Adam. Eve was probably the most perfect, beautiful female creation of God for Adam that any man could desire to have. Yet had God chosen to appear to Adam as a female, He would have made Eve appear as an old hag who lived in a swamp. God is (absolutely perfect) down to His DIVINE "DNA" and had He chosen to appear to Adam in the feminine it would have made the future Eve a hideous-looking creature even though she was the most beautiful to the eyes of Adam.

When the scripture states: Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. I'm going to tread now on the dangerous and uncharted ground that many living in the world today have never even given thought to. It's something myself and a (head elder) in the church discussed together in his living room back in 1991-92. The question was put forth at the time as follows: "If the word "man" in Genesis 1:27 is in the Hebrew "mankind" which encompasses both male and female, and the name God gave to Adam also means "mankind" is it possible that God has both male and female attributes? Since mankind (both male and female) was made "in the Image of God" and encompasses both sexes male and female as He (formed one from the dust) and created the other from the one formed of the dust of the ground. Could God then have appeared to Adam as a woman, a female and still be God the Creator? YES!

Could this same bi-sexual attribute then be inherent within mankind? Could this be why today's LGBT+ group (actually exists) in today's world? Does both the male and the female "made in the image of God" have within them BOTH sexes, both male and female DNA? Was God saying that man is "made in His Own Image" as a physical attribute OR was God saying that mankind was made in (His Own Image) as a "spiritual being with free choice to decide and act as God decides when He acts by Fiat DIVINE actions OR BOTH? We will never know this side of eternity, but Jesus gave us a hint when He said: Joh 16:12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. This was the crux of the conversation that I and the elder had in his living room, and the conclusion that we both agreed upon was the latter, that God "made "mankind" in (His Own Image) as a "spiritual being with free choice to decide and act as God decides when He acts by Fiat DIVINE actions, i.e. we were made in the image of God with free will choice that is the "Image of an Omnipotent God."

Is it then the actions taken by the recent Iraqis in the "pursuit of joining the Abraham Accords to normalize relations with Israel" in the pursuit of peace. Question: Is this decision then anywhere close to following the will of God for either nation? I say NO! Because God never intended for man to make peace between themselves, that is only resigned to God Himself as Jesus spoke here:Mat 10:34-36 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. However, this is done within the Spirit of man, not in the physical, but can have consequences in the physical. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. Plus, the two nations involved Israel and Iraq are destined to be at each other's throats until God establishes (that peace), and any attempt to "make peace" between the two will only end in sudden destruction as God has decreed it.

When the progeny of the offspring of Ishmael were decreed by God to Hagar this is what God told her: Gen 16:11,12 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction. And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren. Any attempt to make a change to this decree of God is destined to failure, no matter how good it may sound, or how much it's sought after ("Whitewash is NOT "WHITE PAINT").

There will be "no real peace" in the nation of Israel or anywhere in the middle east UNTIL God Himself establishes it there around 1005 years from this year in the future. When "fallen mankind" pursues peace any peace they may think they have then is also a "fallen peace" and a manmade effort and is untenable and unattainable in this life. Any attempt to establish any kind of peace by mankind is an attempt to thwart the decree of God, and mankind cannot do such a thing.

God said: 1Th 5:3,4 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. This sudden destruction spoken of here can be also rendered then the "Sudden return of Jesus Christ!" But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. The fact that the verse uses the phrase "that day should overtake you as a thief" also implies the Second Coming of Jesus.

We are on the verge of cataclysmic events as they say of "biblical proportions" in this world, and the future of America and the entire world will not be any hoped-for or pursued "New World Order" as mankind plans it. What is about to occur in this world many billions are not ready for. They will be taken completely by surprise when it materializes and many won't be able to see it. Satan has designed it that way! If Donald Trump was chosen by God for any "End of the World" event, it was the establishment of the Abraham Accords alone, and not to be some "hotty-Tottie" president as the fallen evangelical world convinced him that he was. Humanity has reached its "end goal" and the final "score" belongs to God alone who is already the winner in the game of life.
