The Oslo Appease Process is misnamed. So is the Road Map. They are nothing new. Indeed, the correct name for them is the Cult of Moloch. Anyone with any doubts should just look at this evening?s news and the latest mass murder for peace. The Cult of Moloch has ruled Israel since 1993, under both Labor and Likud governments.
There are repeated references in the Bible to the Cult of Moloch or Molokh, a Canaanite or perhaps Phoenician cult. The chief feature of Moloch's worship seems to have been the sacrifice of children, and the usual expression for describing that sacrifice was "to pass through the fire", a rite carried out after the victims had been put to death. According to Deuteronomy, xii, 29-31; xviii, 9-14, the passing of children through fire was of Canaanite origin [cf. IV (II) Kings, xvi, 3]. The Carthaginians, descendants of Phoenicians and worshipers of Baal, appear to have adopted child sacrifice.
The passages of the original text in which the name probably stands for that of a god are Leviticus, xviii, 21; xx, 2-5; III (A.V. I) Kings, xi, 7; IV (II) Kings, xxiii, 10; Isaiah, xxx, 33; vii, 9; Jeremiah, xxxii, 35. The special center of such atrocities was just outside of Jerusalem, at a place called Tophet (probably "place of abomination"), in the Valley of Gehenom. According to III (I) Kings, xi, 7, Solomon erected "a temple" for Moloch "on the hill over against Jerusalem", and on this account he is at times considered as the monarch who introduced the cult into Israel.
The custom of causing one's children to pass through the fire seems to have been general in the Northern Kingdom [IV (II) Kings, xvii, 17; Ezekiel xxiii, 37], and it gradually grew in the Southern, encouraged by the royal example of Achaz (IV Kings, xvi, 3) and Manasseh [IV (II) Kings, xvi, 6], until it became prevalent in the time of the prophet Jeremiah (Jeremiah xxxii, 35), when King Josiah suppressed the worship of Moloch and defiled Tophet [IV (II) Kings, xxiii, 13 (10)].
The offerings by fire, the probable identity of Moloch with Baal, and the fact that in Assyria and Babylonia, Malik, and at Palmyra, Malach-bel, were sun-gods, have suggested to many that Moloch was a fire- or sun-god.
There is no Jewish state in the Middle East. Instead there is a Canaanite state with superficial Jewish trappings, ruled by rulers practicing the rites of Moloch. The practitioners and believers in the Cult of Moloch respond to each atrocity by pretending to strike new agreements with the murdering Islamofascists of the PLO. These respond to each such goodwill gesture with new atrocities.
They are always ever-so-surprised that the latest ?ceasefire? has been blown to smithereens on the Jerusalem bus. They are astounded that the PLO?s pledge to keep its eye on terrorists but not arrest them has resulted in more than a score of dead Israelis, including children, on the Jerusalem bus. They are amazed that Israel?s releasing hundreds of terrorists did not result in tranquility, but in new mass murders, carried out by terrorists from the PLO-controlled area of Hebron. They are astonished that new demonstrations of Israeli weakness and defeatism and capitulation have produced new barbarism.
And the one thing of which we can all be certain is that after a few days, when this round's children are in their graves, the prophets of Moloch, especially the Canaanite pagan political Left in Israel, joined in short order by the Beilinized party of Ariel Sharon, will once again insist that the only solution is more sacrifices of children to the pagan peace god, more passing of children through fire, more human sacrifices for the delusion of peace.
For what choice is there?
