Today, an alliance led by (OOC: plz tg me!) has begun what looks like the last of the wars with the Israeli state. The Isreali army qiuckly cracked under the strain of this unpredicted (OOC:but not necessarily unprovoked) offensive. Jerusalem is under siege and is expected to fall within hours.

From the Hospitaller Wire Service
As predicted, Jerusalem has fallen despite the courageous efforts of the remnants of the Isreali military. Their efforts allowed an Isreali government in exile to evacuate the country to a neutral nation. (OOC: Sanctaphrax, intrested?) A new, Muslim/palestinian led government has declared itself the valid government of the nation formerly known as Isreal. They have renamed the country the Islamic Republic of Palestine. They have declared religous freedom, whether this shall hold or not will be seen. (OOC: This can be changed if wished.)

OOC: I have noticed there are alot of OOC in this thread but I need two other nations (at least) to respond to those two major part, the Isrealis and the Arabs/Turks (Whichever they wish to designate themselves).

I will continue this post later, just setting everything up first.

PM Cowlquape Pentephraxis (ooc: My PM as I won't use Sharon) trudged through the desert, at the head of a mighty army of Jews, exiled from their country. They were on good terms with Egypt, and Egypt had allowed them to stay in the Egyptian Sinai, to which they were most grateful. They had marched around Be'er Sheva yesterday, and their army had swelled yet again. They now numbered nearly 7 million people, a lot, but not nearly enough to reclaim the holy land. Cowlquape sighed and continued marching. They had been promised an arms shipment, due to arrive any day now from the Suez. Egypt had approved this, as long as Israel signed a document swearing not to use them against Egypt. Israel had happily signed this document, and the weapons were on the way. Now, they were past Dimona, where more people had joined, and were marching for the Sinai.

OOC<> hey, just a suggestion, but how about One Crusade At A Time? A lot of us are still working on the other crusade thread, with the current situation being the occupation of Jerusalem by Crimmsdale.

ooc: I think I looked at that one. Was that the one Christworld started?
And to sanctaphrax, isn't 7 mil alot of people for a resistance movement? And I would think that Egypt would be one of the largest leaders in an allaince against Isreal. Anyway, plz TG me to discuss this.

Today the Pope spoke to the Faithful on the turn of events in the Near East. He has said, "As Christians, violence is always the last resort. But the regime in power of (I think I have someone to rp them now) and its alllies has finally crossed the line. After decades of war, intifadas, and suicide bombs, it has now launched one last assault on Isreal and the Jewish people. We must not allow this brutality to continue. I hereby authorize the use of force to expel the moslem invaders from the Holy Land and encourage alll Christian Nations to aid this grand effort."

Later today, the first to answer his call was the Grandmastr of the Knights of St John Hospitaller who pledged to use all available assets to destroy the threat of radical Islam that "threatens the whole of Western civilization."

Valletta, Malta

The Grandmaster, Sir Duke Luke von Luftsgerden, looked at his forces. Althogh with three corps, two Marine Expeditionary Forces and some of the best trained forces in the world, the Knights were outnumbered ten to one compared to the Legions the Moslems commanded.
Thinking silently of the odds, he said quietly, "May God have mercy on their souls."

OOC: good idea, but I think one Crusade at a time. Of course, I might come to this one depending on how badly I'm beaten in Christworld's. I'm outnumbered about 100 to 1 in my defense of Jerusalem :D

Considering that it seems like many interested nations would like to participate, but are already involved in Christworld's thread, I think I will put this on backburner for a while and watch his play out. Once his is over, we can resurrect this thread.
