(AgapePress) - A Christian author and bible prophecy expert says attempts to make peace in the Middle East are a fraud -- because "peace" for the Palestinians, he says, is the destruction of Israel.Yasser Arafat's successors may not be quite as evil as he was, but they too are bent on taking over Israel's God-given land. So says Dave Hunt, author of several books on Israel and Bible prophecy, including A Cup of Trembling: Jerusalem and Bible Prophecy.
Hunt says Mahmoud Abbas and other Muslim leaders of the Palestinian Authority worked closely with Arafat, the late Palestinian leader, and still seek the destruction of the Jewish state.
"Islam hasn't changed," Hunt maintains. "Mohammed said the last day will not come until the Muslims confront the Jews and the Muslims destroy them. 'In that day,'" says Hunt, quoting, "'Allah will give a voice to the rocks and the trees and they will cry out, "Muslim, there is a Jew hiding behind me. Come and kill him."'"
"So these people [the Palestinian leaders] are not a few fanatics; these are real Muslims. And Islam teaches that all of that land belongs to the Arabs."
Hunt explains that the Palestinians will always claim Israel's land belongs to them because Arabs believe Ishmael, not Isaac, is the "son of promise" who was offered on the altar at Mount Mariah -- and Islam teaches that once Muslims have controlled an area, they can never give it up.
President Bush recently pledged $350 million in aid to the Palestinians to help promote a Mid-East peace agreement.
