Well PII I will pop in to give u another reply from a different angel to cover everything Insh a Allah.
See look at the following hadeeth which we already posted on Answer the Call of the Prophet thread, quite informative.
http://www.islamsms.com/bb/index.php?showtopic=1842
The hadeeth goes as follows:
Narrated Abdullah Ibn Omar that the Messenger salla Allah a`alyhee wa sallam came to us saying O people of Muhajereen (immigrants) there are five issues if you will be inflicted with them and I seek refuge to Allah that you would not be available when they occur, never fornication would spread among people till they commit it publicly except that plague and other unprecedented diseases which was never experienced before among their predecessors would spread and prevail, [/u],
food deficiency and unjust rulers
, never people refrain from paying Zakat for their money except that they would be denied rain from sky and if it was not for animals they would have never received rain, <b>
never people violate the covenant of Allah and His Messenger except that Allah Sends on them an enemy from outside to take part of what is in their hands,</b> and when their rulers don’t rule with the book of Allah and start selecting from what Allah revealed except that Allah instills their torture among them.” (reported by Ibn Majeh)
Just look at the two underlined parts of hadeeth. what is happening now is the fruit of our shortcomings as Muslims peace, that is why I never curse US if u have noticed. Why would I? If this does not happen then our beloved Messenger would not be one and would not be saying the truth which is unlikely. All what he said is from Allah.
What is happening now is different from the prospect war which is included in the following Ayahs, not sure if I posted them to u before. Although I try not to taking in consideration u not believe Quran is from Allah, but just bear with me, u have no other choice
Here is the first stage which already took place:
"And We decreed for the Children of Israel in the Scripture, that indeed you would do mischief on the earth twice and you will become tyrants and extremely arrogant!* So, when the promise came for the first of the two, We sent against you slaves of Ours given to terrible warfare. They entered the very innermost parts of your homes. And it was a promise (completely) fulfilled* Then We gave you once again, a return of victory over them. And We helped you with wealth and children and made you more numerous in man power." (Quran 17: 3-5)
Then Allah Puts forth the second stage:
"And We said to the Children of Israel after him: "Dwell in the land, then, <b>when the final and the last promise comes near [i.e. the Day of Resurrection or the descent of Christ ['Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary) on the earth]. We shall bring you altogether as mixed crowd (gathered out of various nations)</b>." (Quran 17:104)
If u recall PII, around 15 years ago the Jewish immigration movement was so active. Organized charters brought them into Israel from Ethiopia, Russia and other countries. See PII Quran is true. Sorry to tell u this, but it is true.
What is happening now in Israel must take place in prepration for the final stage which is drawing near Insh a Allah
Hope I was of help.
