The international condemnation of the Jewish state has been widespread following the raid. The Obama administration claims it deeply regrets the loss of life and says it will be examining the circumstances that led to the bloodshed. But video taken during the incident shows that it was only as a last result that the Israelis opened fire, as members of the Turkish crew attacked and beat Israelis who were trying to inspect the ship. One Israeli soldier was thrown off an upper deck and fell 30 feet to the deck below, sustaining significant injuries.
Jan MarkellJan Markell, founder and director of Olive Tree Ministries, believes the whole episode was a setup.
"What this was was to create a crisis, create a situation where Israel would have to respond with some force," she explains. "This is probably going to be the provocation that the world will allow Hezbollah and Hamas to wage war on Israel this summer."
She notes that unfortunately, the entire world, including the United States, is against Israel right now. "This current administration would love to see Israel wiped off the map. I'm being as blunt and forthright as I can; I'm not holding back. The Obama administration cannot stand Israel and would like to see her obliterated," Markell contends.
The Olive Trees Ministries founder concludes that this is clearly a spiritual battle between God's people and the satanic forces controlling Israel's enemies.
