This Rumor~True or False, What say you?
January 31st 2008 02:26
Wow, break out the crystal skull for this one, I ran across an old eRumor, and curious I took some time to review it. Now it's your chance to do so, if you haven't already.
But first I'll give you my take on things, and then you are invited to share yours.
Premise:
Ten major US disasters occurred on dates significant to Treatment of Israel ~True or False (to be revealed at end of post)
Following is a list of ten dates on which there were important events related to Israel along with natural disasters that affected the United States. The implication suggests that the U.S. should pay better attention to decisions about Israel...or prepare to suffer the consequences of their actions.
And that included G. W. Bush who got it and Billary Clinton who didn't get it and got us(as in USA) into trouble over this matters during their first eight year go at the presidency.
TEN MAJOR EVENTS significant to Israel and the USA
(Relating to Israel’s Covenant Land) 1. October 30,
1991: The Perfect Storm—As President George H. W. Bush
is opening the Madrid (Spain) Conference to consider
“land for peace” in Israel’s Middle East role, the
“perfect storm” develops in the North Atlantic,
creating the largest waves ever recorded in that
region. The storm travels 1000 miles from “east to
west” instead of the normal “west to east” pattern and
crashes into the New England Coast. Thirty-five foot
waves crash into the Kennebunkport home of President
Bush.
2. August 23, 1992: Hurricane Andrew—When the Madrid
Conference moves to Washington DC and the peace talks
resume, Hurricane Andrew, the worst natural disaster
ever to hit America, comes ashore and produces an
estimated $30 billion in damage and leaving 180,000
homeless in Florida. And during the week of November3,
Bill Clinton is elected president of the USA.
3. January 16, 1994: Northridge Earthquake—President
Bill Clinton meets with Syria's President Hafez
el-Assad in Geneva. They talk about a peace agreement
with Israel that includes giving up the Golan Heights.
Within 24 hours, a powerful 6.9 earthquake rocks
Southern California, This quake, centered in
Northridge, becomes the second most destructive
natural disaster to hit the United States, behind
Hurricane Andrew,
4. January 21, 1998: Lewinsky Scandal—Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets with President
Clinton at the White House and is coldly received.
Clinton and Secretary of State Madeleine Albright
refuse to have lunch with him. Shortly afterwards on
that day, the Monica Lewinsky scandal breaks into the
mass media and begins to occupy a major portion of
Clinton's time.
5. September 28, 1998: Hurricane George—As Secretary
of State Albright works on the final details of an
agreement in which Israel would give up 13 percent of
Yesha (Judah and Samaria), Hurricane George slams into
the United States Gulf Coast with 110 mph winds and
gusts up to 175 mph. The hurricane hits the coast and
stalled. On September 28, Clinton meets with Yasser
Arafat and Netanyahu at the White House to finalize
this land deal. Later, Arafat addresses the United
Nations about declaring an independent Palestinian
state by May 1999, as Hurricane George pounds the Gulf
Coast, causing $1 billion in damage. At the exact time
that Arafat departs the country, the storm begins to
dissipate.
6. October 15-22, 1998: Texas Flooded—On October 15,
1998, Arafat and Netanyahu meet at the Wye River
Plantation in Maryland. The talks are scheduled to
last five days with the focus on Israel giving up 13
percent of Yesha. The talks are extended and conclude
on October 23. On October 17, awesome rains and
tornadoes hit southern Texas. The San Antonio area is
deluged with rain. The rain and flooding in Texas
continue until October 22 and then subside. The floods
ravage 25 percent of Texas and leave over one billion
dollars in damage. On October 21, Clinton declares
this section of Texas a major disaster area.
7. November 30, 1998: Market Capitalization
Evaporates—Arafat comes to Washington again to meet
with President Clinton to raise money for a
Palestinian state with Jerusalem as the capital. A
total of 42 other nations were represented in
Washington. All the nations agreed to give Arafat $3
billion in aid. Clinton promised $400 million, and the
European nations $1.7 billion. On the same day, the
Dow Jones average drops 216 points, and on December 1,
the European Market had its third worst day in
history. Hundreds of billions of market capitalization
were wiped out in the U.S. and Europe.
8. December 12, 1998: Clinton is Impeached—As Clinton
lands in the Palestinian-controlled section of Israel
to discuss the “land for peace” process, the House of
Representatives votes four articles of impeachment
against him.
9. May 3, 1999: The Powerful Super Tornado—On the day
that Yasser Arafat is scheduled to declare a
Palestinian state with Jerusalem as the capital, the
most powerful tornado storm system ever to hit the
United States sweeps across Oklahoma and Kansas. The
winds are clocked at 316 mph the fastest wind speed
ever recorded. The declaration is postponed to
December 1999 at the request of President Clinton,
whose letter to Arafat encourages him in his
"aspirations for his own land." He also writes that
the Palestinians have a right to "determine their own
future on their own land" and that they deserve to
"live free, today, tomorrow and forever."
10. Week of October 11, 1999: Hurricane, Earthquake and Dow
Collapse—As Jewish settlers in 15 West Bank (Israel)
settlements are evicted from the covenant land in
Israel, the Dow-Jones financial averages lose 5.7
percent in the worst week since October 1989. On
October 15 the Dow lost 266 points, and a hurricane
slams into North Carolina. On the next morning,
October 16, a magnitude 7.1 earthquake rocks the
southwest in the fifth most powerful earthquake in
20th Century. The earthquake was centered in the
California desert and did little damage but was felt
in three states. President Bill Clinton was president.
The Reveal:
The historical accounts in this eRumor are, for the most part, accurate. What is left is the question of what do they mean? Believers in the email's message say it means that if the U.S. wants to avoid natural disasters...be nice to Israel. Skeptics say that going through all the events in a particular span of years and finding apparent correlations doesn't mean they were connected.
The Point:
Perhaps it's that the US should not deal cavalierishly with Israel, and probably should avoid electing anyone named Clinton for president, or we need to get used to the fact that stuff happens. What's your take on this?
This stuff is over my head.

I agree with this:
Though this couldn't hurt:
I hate those kind of emails though - almost as bad as chain mail.

As for the storms and Israel, gee, someone went to a LOT of trouble to try and convince people that no one should criticise Israel, no matter how many kids get blown up for throwing stones.
Love the cartoon too...pity it is in reverse, that is, the balance of military might, and the isolation...this would give a lot of Palestinians a lot to laugh at no doubt, particularly at the moment, as the entire region has been locked down and denied power, food, medical and petrol supplies, the people now so desperate, they are trying to break through to Egypt to get sick and dying to a hospital and supplies for their families.
What a world we live in...I have something to be thankful for though, I was not born a Palestinian!
Years ago, maybe ten, I remember reading an interesting article in the newspaper, it was a small report form Malaysia, which stated that Malaysia's government had asked Russia to send one of their "weather ships", to create a storm off their coast, as the country was in dire need of rain.
Interesting eh what?

But since you asked, Palestinian Hizbollah had been rocketing Israel and the USA didn't intervene, so the Israelis launched an assualt to retrieve some missing soldiers and were involved on two other fronts as well, and they needed our help. 8/23/2005 time period.
So, we might as well have bombed them.
