For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done (to Israel), it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.
About 30 years ago, I begin to preach about the Day of the Lord is Near as found in the Book of Obadiah. In my best selling book As America Has Done to Israel, I included a chapter about the Day of the Lord. The Day of the Lord is a reference in the Bible to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Obadiah gives a clear indicator to the immanent Second Coming of Jesus Christ. The key event is when Israel enters into an all-out battle with the Palestinians in which none of them survive.
I believe the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, and the subsequent war was the trigger for the battle described in Obadiah. This blog will keep you on the cutting edge of events leading to proving the Day of the Lord is Near and soon Second Coming of Jesus Christ. This can be proved by the Bible.
Obadiah 1:18 And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the LORD hath spoken it.
Hamas even named the attack and war they started. It was call: Operation Al Aqsa Flood! This means the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. All the wars triggered by Hamas’ attack are heading towards Jerusalem where God will bring his final judgment on Islam. Incredible events are soon about to unfold, but if you understand Bible prophecy you know how it is going to end.

ISRAEL: Latest Update (The * is for the latest postings)
From article:”Weeks after Israel invaded Gaza in response to Hamas’s deadly attack on Oct. 7, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei convened a meeting of militia leaders across an alliance Tehran calls “the axis of resistance.” The attack, which Khamenei had publicly praised as an “epic victory,” marked a crescendo of four decades of Iranian efforts to train and arm a network of nonstate militant groups as a way to threaten its enemies and extend its influence in the Middle East.
But behind closed doors, the Iranian leader told senior Hamas representatives, along with Lebanese, Iraqi, Yemeni and other Palestinian militia leaders, that Tehran had no intention of directly entering the conflict and widening the war, according to two high-ranking officials from Hamas and two from Hezbollah. Side battles, he told the delegates, risked distracting the world from Israel’s devastating incursions in Gaza. The message: Hamas was on its own.”
Scoop: State Department reviewing options for possible recognition of Palestinian state
From article:”Secretary of State Tony Blinken asked the State Department to conduct a review and present policy options on possible U.S. and international recognition of a Palestinian state after the war in Gaza, two U.S. officials briefed on the issue told Axios. Why it matters: While U.S. officials say there has been no policy change, the fact the State Department is even considering such options signals a shift in thinking within the Biden administration on possible Palestinian statehood recognition, which is highly sensitive both internationally and domestically.”
From article:”Israeli troops will “very soon go into action” near the country’s northern border with Lebanon, Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said Monday, as tensions surge amid the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. Gallant told troops near the border with the besieged Gaza Strip that others were being deployed to Israel’s north.”They will very soon go into action… so the forces in the north are reinforced,” Gallant said, according to video released by his office.”
From article:”A second track centers on reshaping the Palestinian Authority, the semi-autonomous body that administers parts of the Israeli-occupied West Bank. U.S. and Arab officials are discussing overhauling the leadership of the authority and having it take control of Gaza after the war ends, assuming power from Israel and Hamas. In a third track, U.S. and Saudi officials are pushing Israel to agree to conditions for the creation of a Palestinian state in exchange for Saudi Arabia forging formal ties with Israel for the first time.”
From article:”The Western-backed Palestinian Authority is prepared to hand over the reins to the Hamas terrorist organization after the war in Gaza ends, P.A. chief Mahmoud Abbas’s spokesman told Al Arabiya over the weekend. Once Israel’s ground operation against Hamas concludes, Ramallah is “prepared to hold general elections, and if Hamas wins, the president will hand over the [Palestinian] Authority,” P.A. spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeineh told the Saudi state-owned television outlet on Saturday.”
Intense battles rage in heart of Khan Yunis This is one of the major centers for Hamas in Gaza. The Israeli Army is methodically backing Hamas into a corner with no way out. I expect more vicious fighting from now on because of Hamas being trapped. Hamas has 20,000 fighters left, so the coming battles could be ferocious!
From article:”For 35 minutes, the International Court of Justice bad-mouthed Israel, but then it surprised the Jewish state by not issuing any practical orders against the IDF. There was no order to cease the war and there was no order for the IDF to withdraw from Gaza. The most troubling practical item in the ruling for Israel is the need to report back to the ICJ in one month, something which leaves the door open to a more serious order at that time.”
From article:”The report included several experts who commented on recent developments in Syria. In the article, one expert says “In this short period, from the terrorist explosions in Iran and the assassination of the martyr Seyed Razi Mousavi in the south of Damascus, the assassination of al-Arouri in the suburbs of Beirut, as well as Haj Sadiq (Omidzadeh)…The Zionists are trying to push the axis of resistance towards an all-out war in the region in every possible way and as a result, opens the feet of America and all western countries, even NATO and England, to a regional war.”
From article:””Operation Al-Aqsa Flood provided an unusual moment and a strategic opportunity, not only for our [Palestinian] people but for our Arab and Islamic nation, to recover, take up the reins of cultural initiative and present a new model for handling all human affairs – after the West, its leadership and its mechanisms have failed to protect humanity from fascism and racism and their disastrous consequences. This is an opportunity we must not miss, for if we do, we may have to wait decades, God forbid, before another moment of this kind coms our way. “We must turn this war into a new springboard for our people and its just cause, and for our nation and its future, in light of the great international changes we are witnessing and the decline of the unipolar [world] order in favor of a multipolar one… [In this new world order] the Global South, of which we are a part, will step forward to take the place that befits its peoples after centuries of imperialism, enslavement, exclusion and the plundering of its resources.”
From article:”One of the leftist establishment’s flagship propaganda outfits made a remarkable admission on Thursday: Hamas’ mass rapes of captive Israeli women abducted on Oct. 7 could have been in accord with Islamic law…The Guardian reported that “mounting evidence of rapes and genital mutilation” on Oct. 7 “pointed to possible crimes against humanity.” Then came the big admission, although it was hedged around in various ways: “Israeli intelligence officials, experts and sources with direct knowledge of interrogation reports of captured Hamas fighters believe units that attacked were beforehand given a text that drew on a controversial and contested interpretation of traditional Islamic military jurisprudence, claiming that captives were ‘the spoils of war.’ This potentially legitimised the abduction of civilians and other abuses, without being an explicit instruction to do so.” It also noted that “in at least two unsourced videos of interrogations of alleged Hamas members,” the jihadis “are heard talking about instructions given to rape women.”
From article:”When Zionists condemn such maps, they are accused of having similar maps that show all the land from the river to the sea as Israeli. The maps, it is claimed, erase “Palestine.” This raises the complex question of the borders of the Land of Israel. Historically, these borders were fluid. Various Jewish kingdoms, from King David to the Maccabees, ruled over territories of various sizes. Under Roman, Christian and Muslim conquerors, there were no set borders at all. Borders were not officially drawn until the British received the Mandate for Palestine. Originally, the Mandate included all of the Land of Israel and what is now Jordan. The early Zionists hoped to establish a Jewish state within these expansive borders. They were greatly disappointed by Britain’s decision to lop off most of the Mandate and give it to the Hashemite clan to form what became Jordan.”
From article:”E.U. diplomats said on Monday in Brussels that a two-state solution is the only credible path to peace between Israel and the Palestinians, after earlier threatening “consequences” if Israel continued to oppose the plan. “We have to stop talking about the peace process and start talking about the two-state solution process,” Josep Borrell, the E.U.’s high representative for foreign affairs, told press at a meeting of the Council of the European Union’s Foreign Affairs Council.”
From article:”In a recent press conference, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hinted at Israel’s involvement in countering Iranian influence across various fronts. The comment shed a little light on what Israel’s security establishment and media refer to as the “multi-arena campaign,” a complex geopolitical challenge that Jerusalem finds itself entangled in. Asked by a reporter why Israel was attacking Iran’s proxies and not Iran, Netanyahu replied, “Who told you that we do not attack in Iran?”
From article:”Hamas is demanding, in exchange for the release of our hostages, the end of the war, the withdrawal of our forces from Gaza, the release of the murders and rapists of the Nukhba and leaving Hamas in place. Were we to agree to this – our soldiers would have fallen in vain. Were we to agree to this – we would not be able to ensure the security of our citizens. We would be unable to safely restore the evacuees to their homes and the next October 7 would be only a question of time. I am not prepared to accept such a mortal blow to the security of Israel; therefore, we will not agree to this. The conditions being proposed by Hamas underscore a simple point – there is no substitute for victory. Only total victory will ensure the elimination of Hamas and the return of all our hostages.”
From article:”Tobias Ellwood MP was speaking as Ebrahim Raisi, the President to the Islamic Republic ominously pledged to seek vengeance for the deaths of five Iranian officials killed in Syria after an airstrike he blamed on Israel. In recent days, Iran has launched attacks on an an Iraq military base in which is home to US military personnel; on targets in against the so-called Baluchistan Liberation Army and the Baluchistan Liberation Front in Pakistan; and on Syria, apparently in response to the bomb attack in the city of Kerman on January 4. Mr Ellwood, the MP for Bournemouth East, suggested while there will undoubtedly have been a strategic element to what Tehran was doing, there was also an secondary motive with tensions high in the Middle East and Western ships in the Red Sea, and air strikes on the Iran-aligned Houthis.”
From article:”Iran itself has also carried out strikes in neighbouring Iraq and Pakistan as well as Syria sending tensions soaring. Defence expert Nicholas Drummond echoed concerns that the conflict in the Middle East could potentially escalate but warned that if Tehran directly attacked Israel, the ensuing war would be “the end of Iran”. Speaking to Daily Express US, he said: “Iran’s agenda in the region, and globally, has been exposed. And Iran is on the back foot.”
From article:”Former Israeli intelligence official and regional analyst Avi Melamed believes the “unfolding scenario” in the Red Sea, one of the most important trade routes in the world, reflects a “convergence of Tehran’s hegemonic goals and the West’s commitment to global order”. He said: “The results of the ongoing clashes won’t only shape the regional landscape, but the global one.”
From article:”Israel has returned fire when attacked, but has not escalated to full war. That may change, as Hezbollah shows no willingness to comply with United Nations Security Council Resolution 1707 and to move its forces off the border, north of the Litani River. Tens of thousands of Israeli residents have been evacuated from border towns, and will not return until the border is secure.”
Iran Bombs Nuclear-Armed Pakistan, Triggering Diplomatic Crisis Iran is now really rogue and out of control by attacking Pakistan! There was no real reason to do this. Iran is unstable as war with Israel is growing near. According to the Bible, there is no indication Iran is going to attack Israel at this stage of prophecy. I think, Iran is going to be stopped by the USA or coalition of forces. Iran/Persia will be destroyed in the second war.
From article:”Both Hamas and the Palestinian Authority are primarily interested in replacing Israel, not in living alongside Israel in peace. The events of October 7 have convinced even left-wing Israelis that it would be unsafe, and foolish, to allow Palestinians sovereignty. Blinken and Biden also do not seem to care that giving Palestinians a state, after the worst mass murder of Jews since the Second World War, would reward and incentivize future terrorism, giving Palestinians what they refused to achieve through diplomacy. Worse, Blinken and Biden are suggesting that the October 7 terror attack was caused by the Palestinians’ statelessness, thereby providing a retroactive justification for the mass murder, rape, and abduction of civilians, and continued rocket attacks on Israel.”
Putin’s puppet issues chilling WW3 warning but claims Russia will ‘sit out’ of new war The Bible is not clear about Iran being destroyed in this coming war with Israel. It is clearly destroyed in another war with Israel. Maybe the USA destroys Iran in this coming war. Israel must destroy Hezbollah which is directly connected to Iran, so it is just a matter of time until the war expands.
From article:”Kremlin propagandist Margarita Simonyan has predicted an all-out war involving global powers, claiming that one will “definitely” erupt in the Middle East. Despite this, the Putin ally stated that Russia would not actively participate in any new conflict. Simonyan’s remarks follow similar statements from Putin’s allies following the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas conflict. Vladimir Solovyon, a Kremlin propagandist and anchor for Russian 1 channel, recently claimed that World War III had already begun.
Meanwhile, Dmitry Medvedev, the Deputy Chair of Russia‘s Security Council, wrote on X in early December that there hasn’t been a greater threat of “direct confrontation” between Russia and NATO since the Cold War.”
From article:””Like the scholars have mentioned, there are fatwas to this effect, and there are motivating statements. There is verbal Jihad, which is Jihad by the tongue, but indeed, the time has come for Jihad of the swords. This is the battle for Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and not the battle of the Palestinian people, or Gaza, or the people in Gaza.
Israel is at war with Hezbollah – editorial It has been obvious for weeks that Israel is at war with Hezbollah. The full scale war like in Gaza is yet to come, but it is coming.
From article:”The full story is that Israel is at war not only against Hamas in Gaza; for all intents and purposes, we’re also at war with Hezbollah. It’s a muted war in the North, however, with each side careful not to overshoot (no pun intended) and, in this way, preventing large-scale hostilities from breaking out. But for how long can Israel put up with what is a declaration of war against the Jewish state without bringing out the big guns? Since the Gaza war began, there has been a general government and military policy in place to hold off launching another front in the North and to focus most of the IDF’s attention on the effort to eliminate Hamas.”
From article:”Video has emerged of Yemeni Houthi terrorists conducting training drills where they are shown storming a mock Jewish residential area with houses/tents marked with the Star of David. While the sick propaganda video is poor quality, men can be seen wielding assault rifles before advancing on the makeshift compound, storming tents, and shooting at the portrait of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu before tearing it down.”
From article:”“This is already a regional war, no longer limited to Gaza, but already spread to Lebanon, Iraq, Syria and Yemen,” said Hugh Lovatt, a Mideast expert for the European Council on Foreign Relations. The U.S., he added, wanted to demonstrate that it was ready to deter Iranian provocations, so it conspicuously placed its aircraft carriers and fighters in position to respond quickly. But those same positions leave the United States more exposed.”
From article:”Mahallati has a long history of stoking genocidal antisemitism, including calling for a global jihad against Israel during his tenure as Iran’s ambassador (1987-1989) to the UN. According to Melissa Landa, a 1986 Jewish-American graduate of Oberlin College, who filed the OCR complaint in 2019 against the small liberal arts college, “Through his lectures and reading assignments, Mahallati glorifies Hamas and teaches his students to do the same. He also delegitimizes Israel by characterizing the Jewish state as a settler colonial endeavor.”
From article:”Multiple shipping lines have suspended operations or taken the longer route around Africa because of the campaign by the Houthis, who rule most of Yemen after beating tough odds in a war against forces backed by powerhouse Saudi Arabia. The Iran-backed militants have vowed to keep up the pressure on the global shipping trade, which could take a toll on the world economy, until Israel halts its bombardment of Gaza to wipe out Hamas, which is also backed by Iran.”
From article:”The Houthis’ journey from religious sect to regional disruptors is one of violence, opportunism and political cunning. Their leaders’ blurring of religious, nationalist and populist rhetoric has sometimes made it difficult to understand what they want. What is not in dispute is their embrace of militarism and their proven track record as a disciplined, focused fighting force. “The Houthis display a sense of euphoric hubris, viewing divine intervention and aligning themselves with history on their side,” Mohamed Al Basha, a senior Middle East analyst at Navanti Group,”
From article:”A Muslim imam in Wisconsin has threatened that the eradication of the Jewish people is coming, and it will happen at the hands of Muslims. “By Allah, all of [the Jews] will be killed by Muslims, they all will be executed by Muslims, they will all be killed,” was the threat from imam Alhajie Jallow, during an October 13, 2023, sermon at the Madinah Community Center in Madison,…“Imam Alhajie Jallow said in an October 13, 2023 Friday sermon at the Madinah Community Center in Madison, Wisconsin and posted on the center’s YouTube channel, that the Muslim ‘brothers’ in Gaza are heroes. He said that only Jihad could bring glory and victory to the Muslims, not contracts or agreements, and that every Muslim should be a soldier today. “Alhajie continued to say that all the Jews will be killed, executed by the Muslims and that this is a divine promise.”
From article:”Amongst one of the many findings of the survey, it was noted that 67% of respondents perceived Hamas’s October 7 attack, categorized by the survey as “the military operation carried out by Hamas,” as “a legitimate resistance operation.” The survey results clarified that 19% answered that the attack was legitimate but “flawed,” 3% said it was legitimate but “involved heinous or criminal acts” and only 5% called the attack “illegitimate.”
The second most given reason was “Defending al-Aqsa Mosque against attacks,” which 24% of respondents affirmed as their believed reason. The al-Aqsa Mosque has been a source of tension as it is located above the Temple Mount, a holy site for both Jews and Christians. While non-Muslims now have permission to attend their holy site via the Moors Gate, they are forbidden from praying there which has created increased tension. Jewish activists have repeatedly tried to pray at the site, which has been met with escalating conflict.”
From article:”According to a poll presented at the conference, 74% of Israelis now oppose the creation of a Palestinian state in Judea and Samaria, and 76% support the voluntary transfer of Palestinians. The poll also found that center-left voters sided solidly with what had once been considered right-wing views with 61% of Yesh Atid voters supporting voluntary transfer.”
From article:”The response from the militants and their primary supporter, Tehran, will be a critical factor in determining the future course of events. The Houthi threat raises the spectre of direct confrontation between the Western allies and Iran, a scenario both sides have expressed a desire to avoid but that is raising concerns across the world. The situation represents the most serious expansion of violence in the region since Israel‘s conflict with Hamas in Gaza following the terrorist attacks on October 7.”
From article:”Hamas and Hezbollah’s twin plans are no coincidence. Since the 2006 Hezbollah war against Israel, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has been preparing for a far larger, strategic, coordinated invasion. A massive Hezbollah build-up along Israel’s northern border violated United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701, which required Hezbollah to withdraw 20 kilometers (12.4 miles) north of Israel’s border, beyond the Litani River. The resolution intended to create a buffer zone that would have prevented the current stark reality of more than 100,000 Israelis evacuated from their homes in northern Israel. Unfortunately, UNIFIL (United Nations International Forces in Lebanon) failed to enforce the U.N.’s internationally guaranteed resolution.
From article:””At least 100 American colleges and universities illegally withheld information on approximately $13 billion in undocumented contributions from foreign governments, many of which are authoritarian…. Speech intolerance—manifesting as campaigns to investigate, censor, demote, suspend, or terminate speakers and scholars—was higher at institutions that received undocumented money from foreign regimes.”
From article:”At his press conference Tuesday evening, U.S. Secretary of State Tony Blinken showed that contrary to popular belief, the Biden administration is not Israel’s ally. It is the greatest obstacle to Israel’s victory. Blinken began his remarks by drawing a moral equivalence between the suffering of Israeli hostages and their families and that of the Palestinians in Gaza. The Palestinians in Gaza, who overwhelmingly support Hamas, are just as innocent as the hostages, Blinken insisted. Blinken said nothing about the torture, rape, mutilation and deliberate starvation of the hostages carried out by Hamas terrorists and its civilian accomplices alike. Instead, Blinken spoke of the “acute food insecurity,” that Gazans suffer from—and blamed that “acute food insecurity” on Israel. “Israel needs to do everything it can to remove any obstacles from [aid] crossing to…Gaza. Improving deconfliction procedures to ensure that the aid can move safely and securely is a critical part of that,” he said.”
From article:”However, on October 7, these secular Israelis’ world suddenly turned upside down as they were attacked by their beloved Palestinians and rescued by their hated religious countrymen. Since the ground operation began in Gaza, 45% of the soldiers killed have come from the religious Zionist community, whose members make up only 10% of the total population. Over 50% of lower-level officers in the army (lieutenant, captain, major) are religious Zionists. These soldiers and citizens are particularly motivated to fight for their country because the reborn State of Israel has religious significance, and its defense is both a historical privilege and a religious imperative.”
From article:”“It thought we were [weak as] spider webs—suddenly it sees what a spider we are. What it sees here is a great power, a unified people, a determination to do whatever is necessary to restore security to the north. I tell you, this is my policy,” he stated. “We will do everything to restore security to the north and allow your families—because many of you are locals—to return home safely and let it [Hezbollah] know that we cannot be messed with,” added the premier.”
From article:”NIS said it is “collecting and accumulating” further evidence of North Korea’s supply of arms to Hamas, but that “it is currently difficult to provide such evidence due to the need to protect information sources and in consideration of diplomatic ties,” according to Yonhap. NIS had previously reported to the South Korean parliament that Kim Jong-Un, the North Korean dictator, had ordered officials to strategize assisting the Palestinian cause. The confirmation by South Korea comes just days after it was revealed that North Korea is also supplying weapons to Russia that have recently been used in Russia’s war against Ukraine.”
From article:”Israeli forces have completed the destruction of Hamas’s military capabilities in the northern Gaza Strip, Israel Defense Forces Spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said in a press briefing on Saturday night, three months into Israel’s war with the terrorist group. “We have completed the dismantling of Hamas’ frameworks in the north of the Gaza Strip, and we will continue to deepen the achievement and strengthen the barrier and the defense elements at the border,” Hagari said.”

‘Marked for death’: Here’s how Israel plans to hunt terrorists across globe
From article:”After the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) counteroffensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip ends, Israel will start pursuing senior Hamas officials in more targeted operations throughout the Middle East, including in Qatar, Russia, Turkey, Iran and Lebanon, the WSJ reported. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has assigned this task to Mossad,”
From article:”It reported, “The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA, i.e., the Afghan Taliban) is caught in an international controversy after it has come to light that an eight-member official Taliban delegation secretly visited North Korea to discuss cooperation on nuclear weapons technology.” The report said it’s not been noticed much, but Afghanistan “has a long-standing nuclear energy program that was taken over by the Taliban mujahideen when they took control of Afghanistan in August 2021.”
From article:”The Houthis, the analysts said, are Iran’s chosen proxies because, from Yemen, they are both close enough to the Red Sea’s strategic waterways to disrupt global shipping and far enough from Israel to make retaliatory strikes difficult. Unlike Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed militant group that has struck Israel from Lebanon, the Houthi are not beholden to domestic political dynamics — making them effectively accountable to no one.
From article:”Houthi rebels have introduced a new and dangerous threat to commercial vessels, as well as US and allied warships, operating in key waterways off the coast of Yemen: drone boats packed with explosives. Vice Adm. Brad Cooper, who leads US Naval Forces Central Command, said the Houthis on Thursday deployed a one-way attack unmanned surface vessel, or USV, for the first time since the Iran-backed militants started attacking ships in the Red Sea, Bab al-Mandab Strait, and Gulf of Aden several weeks ago. The Houthis originally launched the USV from Yemen and it transited around 15 miles into international shipping lanes “with the intent to do harm,” Cooper told reporters. But the drone eventually detonated without hitting any ships or causing any casualties.”
Obadiah 1:18 And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the LORD hath spoken it.
From article:””A total war has become inevitable. We all consider it necessary. We want it. At the resistance axis, the Palestinian people, and our nation, we want this total war. It is not [just] something we say in the media. We talk about it behind closed doors. We are meeting with all the parties that [will take part] in this total war, and we are discussing together the different scenarios and possibilities. We are convinced that it is possible for us… Not that it is possible. We will certainly defeat them.”
From article:””The most important sentence in Nasrallah’s speech was: ‘[There is need] to prepare for a war without constraints and without limits.’ This indicates that the first lesson that has been learned from the Gaza war is that the resistance must prepare for a different kind of confrontation against the enemy’s enormous fire-power. This means that the Gaza war has invalidated all the previous perceptions – and if the enemy miscalculates it will have to prepare for [a scenario in which] Hizbullah will use its fire-power against the depths of [Israel’s territory] in a different way. In this case, the equation will not be ‘a building for a building,’ but rather tens of thousands of fatalities within the enemy entity in retaliation for thousands of fatalities in Lebanon. Any reasonable person can understand that the weapons of the resistance in any future war will certainly not be conventional weapons. These statements are surely not to the liking of the occupation. You have been warned!”
From article:””We cannot be indifferent, because Jerusalem is our first direction of prayer, and because the Al-Aqsa Mosque is our sacred house of worship. We cannot be indifferent, because from [Caliph] Umar to Saladin, to [Sulan] Selim I, our ancestors who came before us watered this soil with the blood of the martyrs, and enabled the members of the tree [Abrahamic] religions to live in tranquility in these lands. “We know that those who are causing the genocide in Palestine are the same as the killers of our martyrs. We know that those who are creating artificial agendas and trying to divide us, who are trying to dilute the Palestinian cause, are the agents of influence of America and Israel. We know that breaking the fetters of Hagia Sophia under the leadership of our president was the first step towards freedom for Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa.”
Does the world hate the Gazans? What a wonderful article. After reading, I now understand the big picture about Gaza and now they are just pawns against Israel.
Doomsday: What could drive Israel and Iran to start launching nuclear weapons?
From article:”Today, facing a recalcitrant and soon-to-be nuclear Iran, Israel needs to update and refine its policy of deliberate nuclear ambiguity. The key objective of such needed changes would be credible nuclear deterrence, a goal that will now require selective nuclear disclosure. Though ironic and counter-intuitive, Iran will need to be convinced that Israel’s nuclear arms are not too destructive for actual use.”
From article:”Critics of embattled Harvard president Claudine Gay celebrated Tuesday after she announced her decision to resign from her post after facing intense backlash in recent weeks following controversial comments about antisemitism on the university’s campus and accusations of plagiarism. In a letter to members of the Harvard community, Gay said she was stepping down as president but will return to the Harvard faculty despite widespread plagiarism allegations against her.”
From article:”Hamas’s deputy leader abroad Saleh al-Arouri, wanted for years by Israel and seen as the group’s prime orchestrator of West Bank terrorism, was killed Tuesday evening in an Israeli strike in the Beirut suburb of Dahiyeh, officials with Hamas and the Lebanese terror group Hezbollah said. Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency said the blast was carried out by an Israeli drone. The explosion shook the Lebanese capital’s southern suburbs, which are a stronghold of Hezbollah, an ally of Hamas. The explosion caused a fire on Hadi Nasrallah Street, south of Beirut.”
From article:”The Lebanon tunnel project was begun and developed long before the one in Gaza. Existing intelligence indicates a vast tunnel network in southern Lebanon, deep and multi-pronged. At the Alma Research and Education Center, which focuses on the security challenges on Israel’s northern border, researchers have spent many years investigating Lebanon’s underworld. Tal Beeri, the director of Alma’s Research Department, who served for decades in IDF intelligence units, has exposed that subterranean network in material based on considerable open-source intelligence.”
From article:” He stated that the “Zionists are really going to regret the day they made Muslims their enemy,” and he claimed that the Jews colonized Palestine in order to be accepted into “whiteness.” Herzallah said that on October 7, the people of Yemen and Gaza destroyed the “veneer of superiority” of the West and the colonizers, and he advised his audience to follow the path they have set. He said that it is “incumbent” on the Muslims to rule Palestine from the River to the Sea and that the Muslims will “bring the rules that Allah gave us to this earth, because that’s what we were sent for.”
From article:”He emphasized the stark difference between what is portrayed in the media and the situation on the ground, expressing frustration over the media’s focus on negative aspects, which he believes weakens national morale. “No one talks about the victories, the achievements, the actual control of the territory,” he noted. The soldier also reflected on the new generation of fighters, whom he observed closely. “Our fighters are imbued with a sense of mission, determination, and sacrifice. Professional and deadly.”
From article:”And perhaps most damning: The Israel Defense Forces did not even have a plan to respond to a large-scale Hamas attack on Israeli soil, according to current and former soldiers and officers. If such a plan existed on a shelf somewhere, the soldiers said, no one had trained on it and nobody followed it. The soldiers that day made it up as they went along. “In practice, there wasn’t the right defensive preparation, no practice, and no equipping and building strength for such an operation,” said Yom Tov Samia, a major general in the Israeli reserves and former head of the military’s Southern Command. “There was no defense plan for a surprise attack such as the kind we have seen on Oct. 7,” said Amir Avivi, a brigadier general in the reserves and a former deputy commander of the Gaza Division, which is responsible for protecting the region.”
From article:”According to the report, the conference aims to strengthen international support for the Palestinian people in Gaza and the West Bank, mount pressures on the Zionist regime to stop the military strikes on Gaza and lift the blockade on the enclave, and provide an impetus for the delivery of international humanitarian aid to Palestine.” Among the participants of the conference are high-ranking officials, politicians, and religious figures from over 50 countries.”
From article:”Decades of relative quiet throughout Europe and the foundation of large (Jewish) communities, especially in France, England, and Germany, seem to have come to an end, and the negative demographic climate—particularly anti-Israel sentiment which is rapidly becoming antisemitic – is growing fast.
From article:”Against the backdrop of these smuggling attempts, Lebanese journalist ‘Ali Hamada published an article in the Lebanese Al-Nahar daily, in which he warned against Iran’s attempts to use the war in Gaza as an opportunity to undermine the stability and sovereignty of Jordan. He notes that Iran has long been attempting, by means of the militias it supports in Syria, to undermine Jordan’s stability by flooding the country with drugs and by using it as a corridor for smuggling weapons and drug from Syria. Now, he says, Iran and its affiliated terrorist groups are leveraging the war in Gaza to implement their plans. They are encouraging mass gatherings on Jordan’s border with Iraq and attempts to breach the border under the slogan of “Solidarity with Gaza.” They are also attempting to inflame the Jordanian public with calls to escalate the popular resistance within Jordan, calls which have also been made by Hamas military wing spokesman Abu Obeida.”
From article:”Since Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel, large multi-story banners explicitly supporting Hamas have been displayed prominently in public places in cities across Turkey. Most of the banners feature a photo of Abu Ubayda, spokesman of the Izz Al-Din Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, and praise him by name. Many send their “greetings to Hamas” and encourage the group to “continue the resistance.” Others send their greetings “to the mujahideen” or to Al-Qassam Brigades leader Muhammad Deif, to whom one banner refers as “Commander of the Ummah.” One refers to Abu Ubayda, as “the pride of the Muslims,” another to Hamas as “the honor of the Muslims,” and a third to the Al-Qassam Brigades as “our honor.” One calls for “a world without Israel,” while many use Abu Ubayda’s phrase “by land, by sea, by air.”
From article:”A majority of registered voters age 18 to 24 in the United States told a Harvard-Harris poll that they want “Israel to be ended and given to Hamas and the Palestinians,” rather than the two-state solution favored by 60% of Americans overall. The shocking result, after a survey of 2.034 registered voters December 13-14, suggested that young people are profoundly more hostile to Israel than any other age group — a result that accompanies a wave of antisemitic protests on university campuses and in large cities.”
From article:”The horrific Hamas attack on Israel was only the first phase of a long-term plan by Iran to wipe out the Jewish State. Iranian leaders believe Israel must be eliminated before the return of an Islamic “messiah-like” figure known as the Mahdi. For years, Iran has been indoctrinating its fighters throughout the Middle East in the belief that there must be an apocalyptic war that destroys both Israel and Jews around the world in order to usher in the Mahdi’s return. Islamic expert Raymond Ibrahim says, “The Mahdi basically means ‘guided one,’ or in the Islamic understanding, he’s the ‘rightly guided one.’ And he takes on different guises, depending on which sect of Islam you ask, Sunni or Shia.” Islamic writings say his name will be Mohammed Ibn Abdillah. Sunnis, the majority of the world’s Muslims, believe the Mahdi has not yet been born. Shia Islam, which Iran dominates, teaches that the Mahdi is already alive, and has been hiding for over a thousand”
From article:”A cadre of pro-Palestinian protesters told Jews leaving a Hanukkah celebration at the Israeli Embassy, “We will kill you all.” Video of the horrifying incident went viral on social media on Tuesday, which showed a Jewish man walking down the street as a car drove past him with two people waving a Palestinian flag out the window while shouting, “We will kill you all, occupiers.” Take a look:Pro-Hamas protesters threaten to kill Jewish attendees as they leave the Israeli Embassy’s Hanukkah ceremony in Washington, DC. Watch as a woman screams, “We will kill you all, occupiers.”
From article:”Geagea pointed out that the Hamas decision to establish the new terror group in Lebanon could not have been taken without the approval of Iran’s Lebanese proxy, Hezbollah. “It is well-established that Hamas and other organizations in Lebanon are subject to the command and decision of Hezbollah,” he said. “It is next to impossible for them to carry out any military action without the knowledge and approval of the party [Hezbollah]. There is no possibility for Hamas to issue such a statement had it not been for Hezbollah’s actual signature on it.”
From article:””We’re talking not just about verbal harassment, anti-Jewish epithets being hurled at students walking to class, but we’re also talking about acts of physical violence,” said Ressler. “The schools we’re looking at are viewed as among the most elite universities in the nation: Columbia, Harvard, MIT – the fact these institutions of higher learning have permitted their campuses to become hotbeds of bigotry is a very sad fact. Shockingly, some of the worst offenders of our investigation has included faculty members – professors who are encouraging their students to engage in genocidal chants.”
From article:”The UN has 13,000 employees in tiny Gaza. They know exactly what’s going on… They all knew Hamas’ terror infrastructure was in the hospital compound, where Israel wouldn’t attack. They lied to the world for 16 years. To paint Israel as evil.” — Hillel Neuer, Executive Director of UN Watch, November 16, 2023. The UN has sustained an incessant campaign, especially on social media, that accuses Israel of deliberately targeting schools, children, civilians, hospitals and healthcare workers. While those are protected from attack during war by international law, that protection does not apply to schools, hospitals and other civilian sites that are used for military purposes.”
From article:”Yet just as Israel allowed Hamas to drill in plain sight and even plant explosives at the border in the lead-up to October 7, Israel has allowed Hezbollah to make a mockery of UN Security Council Resolution 1701. That resolution, which ended the 2006 war sparked by a deadly Hezbollah cross-border attack, barred Hassan Nasrallah’s terrorist army from any military presence south of the Litani River, some 30 kilometers (18 miles) north of the border. Instead, Hezbollah has been encamped right up against the border, with its Radwan commando forces poised, as Hamas’s Nukhba terrorists were, to breach Israel’s defenses.
“We can no longer accept that [Hezbollah’s] Radwan force sits on the border… We can no longer accept that Resolution 1701 is not implemented… If Hezbollah agrees to change things via diplomacy, very good. But I don’t assess it will.” And therefore, said Hanegbi, once Hamas was dealt with, Israel would have to act to ensure that residents of the north are no longer “displaced in their land, and to guarantee for them that the situation in the north has changed.”
From article:”One answer is that pro-Palestinian protests have become increasingly Islamic. At Friday’s protest in Los Angeles, for example, Muslim participants held prayers during the demonstration outside the Biden fundraiser. Christians have faced persecution from Muslims in areas run by the Palestinian Authority, such as Bethlehem, and may have been marginalized within the movement. Many evangelical Christians are seen as pro-Israel, so that may also make churches targets of hatred, alongside synagogues.”
From article:”Hamas Political Bureau member and former Minister of the Interior Fathi Hammad declared on a December 1, 2023 show on Al-Aqsa TV (Hamas – Gaza) that the Palestinians are preparing to establish an Islamic caliphate with Jerusalem as its capital. He said:“The [Palestinian] people have been soldiers throughout history. They are now preparing to liberate Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and I am saying this loud and clear: [The Palestinian people] are preparing to establish the Caliphate, with Jerusalem as its capital city, Inshallah. Jerusalem will not only be the capital city of Palestine as an independent state – it will be the capital city of the Islamic Caliphate…”
From article:””What happened on October 7 did not come out of nowhere. The ongoing crimes of the occupation are to blame for it, because it was part of the Palestinians’ defensive war. It will surely be the first of [multiple] explosions, and the next explosion, far more violent, will be in the West Bank… “I say to everyone, especially to the Egyptians and the Jordanians, who are the ones who suffer the most from this ongoing conflict that also threatens the regional and global stability, that the explosion of October 7 was a natural reaction to this terror [by Israel], for the leaders of Israel represent a new Nazi model. The quagmire of this fascist occupation has become huge.” Asked about the chances of reconciliation between Fatah and Hamas, Rajoub answered: “First of all, I say to everyone that blood is thicker than water. Hamas is and will remain part of the [Palestinian] national fabric, part of the [Palestinian] struggle and the Palestinian political fabric. This campaign [i.e., the Gaza war] will be a springboard for attaining Palestinian national unity, with one people, one leadership and one goal: the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with complete sovereignty over all the Palestinian territories.” It should be mentioned that Rajoub shared this interview on his Facebook page, and wrote: “…What happened on October 7 was not terror but a natural reaction to the Israeli occupation.”
From article:””The people of Gaza only decided to break the siege — the walls of the concentration camp — on Oct. 7,” said Awad. “And yes, I was happy to see people breaking the siege and throwing down the shackles of their own land and walk free into their land that they were not free to walk in.”
From article:”It’s called “Article 99.” And it hasn’t been used for decades. Until this week. With an intensifying Israeli offensive and escalating civilian casualties, U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres invoked a rarely exercised power this week to warn the Security Council of an impending “humanitarian catastrophe” in Gaza. He urged members to demand an immediate humanitarian cease-fire.”
From article:”The atrocities committed by the terrorist group Hamas in Israel on October 7 aroused fear and horror throughout the West. As soon as the Israeli government decided to retaliate and announced that it seeks to destroy Hamas, “the new ISIS”, fear and horror began to fade and rapidly gave way to a return of “the world’s oldest hatred”. The mainstream media described the demonstrations that swept through Western Europe and the United States as “pro-Palestinian”. They were, in reality, anti-Jew and brimming with hatred towards Israel. The slogan “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” — meaning that Israel must be wiped off the map — was shouted out and emblazoned on banners.”
From article:”The stance of the Arabs and Muslims is yet another indication of their disillusionment with the Palestinians in general and Iran’s proxies — Hamas, Hizballah and the Houthis — in particular.Countries such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Egypt and Jordan are as opposed to Hamas as they are to Israel. Hamas is another branch of the Muslim Brotherhood organization, which has long posed a threat to their national security.”
From article:”“We, the undersigned fall 2023 White House and executive office of the president interns, will no longer remain silent on the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people,” the letter opens. “We are Palestinian, Jewish, Arab, Muslim, Christian, black, Asian, Latine, white and queer. We heed the voices of the American people and call on the administration to demand a permanent ceasefire.”
From article:”The pumps are capable of flooding the vast underground maze within weeks by pouring in thousands of cubic metres of water per hour from the Mediterranean Sea, reports The Wall Street Journal. It would also drive out or drown Hamas terrorists using the tunnels as a hideout as Israeli forces push ahead with their ground assault. US officials said Israel alerted American authorities about its plan last month – but a decision has not been made on whether to go ahead yet. It is not clear whether the IDF would consider using the pumps before all the hostages are released.”
From article:”Two ballistic missiles were fired from Houthi rebel-controlled Yemen toward a US warship in the Gulf of Aden, after the US Navy responded to a distress call from a commercial tanker that had been seized by armed individuals, the US military said Sunday. The tanker, identified as the Central Park, had been carrying a cargo of phosphoric acid when its crew called for help that “they were under attack from an unknown entity,”
From article:”While the world’s attention focuses on a resumption in fighting between Israel and Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip in the south, this largely abandoned cooperative highlights an upcoming problem for the embattled Middle Eastern state: How to get the tens of thousands of people who have fled the region to return when an existential threat is in eyesight just across the border. “Anyone who moves here will get injured. They have no actual security and no sense of security to come back,” Yoshiau, a bearded 27-year-old mechanical engineering student who’s also a tank captain in the Israeli military and limited his identification to his first name in line with its rules, said in an interview at the kibbutz. “In order to allow the citizens to come back, we have to have a clear indication from our enemies in Lebanon, Hezbollah, that they have no intention of attacking people.”
From article:”Three commercial ships in the Red Sea were struck by ballistic missiles fired from Houthi-controlled Yemen on Sunday and a U.S. warship shot down three drones in self-defense during the hours long assault, the U.S. military said. Responsibility for the attack was claimed by the Houthi rebels, who are backed by Iran.The attacks marked an escalation in a series of maritime attacks in the Mideast linked to the Israel-Hamas war, as multiple vessels found themselves in the crosshairs of a single Houthi assault for the first time in the conflict.”
From article:”Left-wing activist billionaire George Soros is facing intense criticism from Israel’s ambassador to the U.N. for pumping over $15 million into a network of nongovernmental organizations that allegedly support Hamas. “George Soros’ donations to organizations that seek the destruction of the State of Israel as a Jewish state is shameful. However, I am not surprised,” Israeli ambassador Gilad Erdan told Fox News Digital. “For years, Soros has backed and transferred money to organizations supporting BDS that want to isolate Israel,” added Erdan, who has been leading the diplomatic campaign at the U.N. to spell out Hamas’ crimes against humanity. “They have never been about real peace or any solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.”
From article:”At 4 a.m. on Oct. 7, due to warnings of increased Hamas movement near the border fence, the senior security leadership, including IDF Chief of General Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevy, Shin Bet Director Ronen Bar, Southern Command Commander Maj. Gen. Yaron Finkelman and Haliva’s assistant (Haliva was apparently asleep), discussed the movements and decided to go back to bed,” according to Glick. “Bar sent a small team of fighters to the border area, but that was all. The group didn’t inform the Gaza division commander, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. Instead, they agreed to speak again at 8 a.m. Hamas invaded at 6:30.”
“Since at least 2022, Haliva and his colleagues in the Intelligence Directorate and the top echelons of the IDF and the Shin Bet were convinced that Hamas was deterred,” Glick wrote. “Hamas, they insisted both in public statements and in intelligence briefings to political leaders, was interested in providing economic prosperity to Gaza.”
From article:”“Terrorists are planning the same thing here, they are hoarding weapons, they are carrying out training, exactly like what happened in Gaza,” the user who identified as an observer in Judea and Samaria continued. “My friends and I are alert, but also here, we receive the same answers and threats [from superiors]. And by way of illustration, it took 7-8 hours for the IDF to arrive en masse to Gaza on [the Jewish holiday of] Simchat Torah, what do you think the terrorists in Judea and Samaria will be able to carry out in that time? Apparently [they’ll be able to massacre] more than 1,200 soldiers and civilians.”
From article:”Imam Usama Abdulghani spoke at the “Al-Aqsa Flood” protest at the Ford Centennial Library in Dearborn, Michigan on October 14, 2023, saying: “We are lucky to be alive in the era of Imam Khomeini, the leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran.” He continued to say that October 7 was a “day of God,” a “miracle come true,” and he acknowledge IRGC Qods Force commander General Qassem Soleimani.
Abdulghani said that the “lions” are defending not only Palestine, but the nation of Muhmmad the Messenger. He added that the “honorable soldiers” of Palestine have chosen the only path to victory. Abdulghani asked: “How dare you compare Hamas to ISIS?” He added that Israel is worse than ISIS. Addressing the “friends of the Zionist occupiers,” he said they should advise their friends that “the jig is up,” that Israel is over, “the Titanic is sinking.”
October 7 Was A Day Of God, A Miracle; The Honorable ‘Lions’ Of Palestine Are Not Only Defending Palestine But Are Fighting On Behalf Of Muhammad The Messenger; The Friends Of The Zionist Occupiers And Colonialists Must Know That Their Time Is Over”
From article:””It’s not going to change my position. We’re going to continue to be as supportive of Israel as we possibly can. We want to make sure that they eliminate Hamas from the region and allow those people in the region, especially Israel and all the neighboring communities, to live in peace,” he told “FOX & Friends First” on Wednesday. “I think that has to be our focus and [we have to] continue to move forward in that direction.”
From article:”It is long past time to move in a determined, irreversible way towards a two-state solution, on the basis of United Nations resolutions and international law,” said Tatiana Valovaya, Director-General of the U.N. office in Geneva, delivering a speech authored by U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres. She added this would mean “Israel and Palestine living side-by-side in peace and security with Jerusalem as the capital of both states.” The comments coincide with the United Nations’ International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, which it observes annually. It marks the United Nations General Assembly’s approval of a plan to partition Palestine into Arab and Jewish states and for international rule over Jerusalem.”
From article:”The military’s vaunted 8200 signals intelligence unit was not operational near the Gaza border on the morning of October 7 due to a two-year-old decision to reduce personnel and halt operations overnight and on weekends, a new report alleged Monday…According to Kan, following private consultations, a high-ranking officer within the Israel Defense Force’s Intelligence Corps reduced the unit’s manpower two years ago after concluding that intelligence-gathering methods utilized by 8200 would not help detect a threat from Gaza in real-time. “An alert in the Gaza arena will not come from the classic sources,” the officer was quoted saying. The decision significantly downgraded the unit’s operational activities in the Gaza border region and ceased operations entirely overnight and on weekends.”
From article:”Thus when modern-day Muslims invoke Khaybar, they are recalling an aggressive surprise raid by Muhammad that resulted in the final eradication of the once considerable Jewish presence in Arabia. To jihadists, Khaybar means the destruction of the Jews and the seizure of their property by the Muslims. The fact that modern pro-Palestine demonstrators want exactly that is all too clear.”
From article:”The results of the poll confirm what most Arabs and Muslims already know: that the only solution most Palestinians are willing to accept is one that leads to the murder of all Jews and the destruction of Israel. It remains to be seen whether the latest Palestinian slaughter of Jews serves to awaken the Biden administration and the Europeans to this inconvenient, uncomfortable fact.”
*Is the Hamas conflict a prophetic window into the end times?
From article:”Since the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel, Iran and its regional proxies in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen, have joined in hostilities against Israel and the U.S. in a multifront maneuver which threatens regional escalation. Iran-backed groups have conducted attacks from Israel’s north, east and south to bolster Hamas’s war aims and detract from the Israeli response to the militant group in Gaza. Below, MEMRI JTTM provides an update on the most recent developments in the multifront threat to Israel.”
From article:”When asked about the fighting between Hezbollah and the Israeli army at the Lebanese border – which has been ongoing since 8 October – Qassem said Hezbollah has a plan to “force Israel to restrain itself.” Nonetheless, he added that any decision “will be made on the battlefield,” as the possibility of the fighting spreading beyond the Lebanese border region depends on “the evolution of the Gaza war and on Israel’s (hypothetical) decision to start a broader war.”
From article:”Jordan said on Tuesday the army had beefed up its presence along its borders with Israel and warned that any Israeli attempt to forcibly push Palestinians across the Jordan River would represent a breach of its peace accord with its neighbour. Prime Minister Bisher Khasawneh said his country would resort to “all the means in its power” to prevent Israel from implementing any transfer policy to expel Palestinians en masse from the West Bank.”
From article:”If you want to compare it to something it was almost like the Rwandan genocide where people looked their victims in the face before doing horrific things to them. I think that changed the Israeli attitude towards Hamas and its role and its relationship with the Palestinian people. I do think it does put the entire idea of a two-state solution in question. I mean if that was on the table and for the Biden administration it still is, it’s really off the table for now. Because it is impossible for the Israelis to accept that they would live next to another entity that is controlled by Palestinians where this kind of thing is allowed to happen.”
From article:””Certain countries, including those in the Arab Gulf, Jordan, Morocco and Egypt advocate for a two-state solution, which they believe can be accomplished through diplomacy. Conversely, the Iranian axis espouses the ideology of obliterating Israel and establishing a Palestinian state extending from the river to the sea.” Al-Hindi said the primary reason why even the moderate states, most of which have diplomatic ties with Israel, have not taken practical steps to help the civilian population in Gaza is due to their aversion to Hamas and its goals.” “As a result, many Arab countries are concerned that aiding the Gazans could inadvertently benefit Hamas, given that the organization has ruled in Gaza for nearly a generation,” he said. “Hamas is a network affiliate of the Muslim Brotherhood, and the Muslim Brotherhood opposes every Arab monarch. This poses significant internal risks to the aforementioned states.”
From article:”The Palestinian poll—the first of its kind since the Oct. 7 attacks—found that 48.2% of respondents characterize Hamas’s role as “very positive,” while 27.8% view Hamas as “somewhat positive.” Almost 80% regard the role of Hamas’s Al-Qassam Brigades “military” wing as positive.”
From article:”He continued, “And then, more on the progressive side, they’ve shifted and adopted a policy, which has not been the traditional Democratic policy of, more or less, one state. ‘From the river to the sea’ is what gets chanted. And so, it’s not clear to me what they think that one state looks like, but it’s clearly not the traditional policy we associate with the Democratic Party, which has been very supportive of Israel. And I think it’s not only on the Middle East. On a bunch of other issues, you’re seeing this beginning — this rupture between progressives, who tend to be younger, and liberals, who tend to be older. And we’re seeing it in spades in the case of Israel-Gaza policy.”
From article:”The other 5 per cent represented the danger of where their paradise was situated. In particular, the rocket attacks that would sometimes go on for weeks. The attacks were launched from such close range that there would be just 15 seconds to run to a bomb shelter. Residents of Nir Oz could see Gaza – and even hear the imams’ call to prayer. And when the rockets fell silent they also saw the retaliatory attacks from a Right-wing Israeli government most of them felt precious little love for. For many of the kibbutz-dwellers were Left-wing campaigners and activists devoted to a peaceful settlement with their Palestinian neighbours. When Israel struck back, many felt a pain inside, knowing that people they cared about in Gaza might be hurt; all too aware that their communities shared a bond of pain as well as a love of the land.
Among them was Vivian Silver, 74, one of the country’s most famous peace activists, who had long fostered cultural and economic links with Gazans through her group, Creating Peace. Until this week, she was one of many people declared missing after Hamas’s Oct 7 attacks, thought to have been snatched from her home near Gaza in Kibbutz Be’eri. But now DNA tests on human remains have finally proved that she was killed that day.”
From article:”Turkish President Recpyt Erdogan taunted Israel today in a speech to the Turkiye’ Parliament. In it he said, “Hey, Israel! You have a nuclear bomb and you are threatening with this. We know this. Your end is nigh, anyway, whether you have nuclear weapons or not. You’re on your way out.”
From article:”Israel’s military up till now has sought to present southern Gaza as some kind of safe zone as it pushed Gazans to evacuate the northern half of the Strip to pave way for the ongoing ground and aerial assault. But all the while there have still been intermittent airstrikes on southern Gaza, after some one million or more civilians have been internally displaced. New leaflets have been mass dropped over the Strip warning towns located in southern Gaza that inhabitants must evacuate. “Palestinians in parts of southern Gaza said they received evacuation notices Thursday,”
From article:”Moreover, fields like Middle East studies are increasingly dominated by individuals from communities in the U.S. and abroad that have imbibed the prejudices of their cultures of origin, which are then confirmed by their teachers. Thus, wide swaths of academia now see themselves as scholar-activists, saviors working for “liberation.” But who and what to “liberate” is an open question. So, for them, evil needs a specific name and location. In this Manichean theology, saving Palestinians take first place, with the Jews cast as metaphysical villains, giving license to overt antisemitism. This is not scholarship; it is political religion. It is an apocalyptic fundamentalism in which the downtrodden must be saved, evil defeated and the empty lives of activists given new meaning.”
The gates of Gaza This is a great article about the history of Muslim terrorism against Israel. The following quote is about an eulogy Moshe Dayan made on April 29, 1956, about the murder of a settler named Roi Rotberg. What he said rings true today!
From article:”“It is to us that the blood of Roi calls from his shredded body,” Dayan warned. “Although we have vowed a thousand vows that our blood will never again be shed in vain—yesterday we were once again seduced, brought to listen, to believe. Our reckoning with ourselves, we shall make today. We mustn’t flinch from the hatred that accompanies and fills the lives of hundreds of thousands of Arabs, who live around us and are waiting for the moment when their hands may claim our blood. We mustn’t avert our eyes, lest our hands be weakened. That is the decree of our generation. That is the choice of our lives—to be willing and armed, strong and unyielding, lest the sword be knocked from our fists, and our lives severed.”
From article:”These demonstrators, who appear to feel so virtuous, send a message to the terrorist groups that people in the West happily support violence, terrorism and the Jihad (holy war) not only against Israel and Jews, but also against Christians, all “infidels,” Europe, the United States and the West. Despite all the claims to the contrary, these are not pro-Palestinian rallies. These are hate marches of people seeking the destruction of Israel and the West. Make no mistake: those who are now protesting against Israel are advocating for a totalitarian way of life, for poverty — except for the leaders, of course — and for the same sort of utopia now being relished by the citizens of Iran, North Korea, Afghanistan, Cuba, Venezuela… and Gaza.”
Al-Azhar University’s annihilationist, Jew-hating jihad Please, please, please take time to read this article. It shows the history of Islam’s hatred for the Jews and especially Israel and how this is leading to the attempt to annihilate Israel.
From article:”On Oct. 19, Al-Azhar’s authoritative Muslim theologians issued a fatwa on the ongoing conflict sparked by Hamas’s Oct. 7 invasion and massacre. Notwithstanding Obama’s claims about Al-Azhar’s “learning” and “tolerance,” and absent any mention of Hamas’ jihad carnage, the fatwa ruled that all Israeli citizens are legitimate targets of jihadi violence.”
From article:”The leader of Lebanon’s militant Hezbollah group said Saturday his fighters have introduced new weapons, including a missile with a heavy warhead in the ongoing fighting along the Lebanon-Israel border, adding that they will keep using the tense frontier to pressure Israel.”
From article:”Following the initial attack of 22 local communities involving a mass slaughter of soldiers and civilians, findings suggest that Hamas was prepared to go much further. Some terrorists carried enough food, ammunition, and equipment to last several days. They also carried with them instructions to continue deeper into Israel following their initial wave of attacks close to the border. Plans even included striking larger Israeli cities and continuing the attack up to the border of Judea and Samaria. Hamas planned and prepared for a massacre of Israeli civilians in the hope that the attack would result in severe Israeli retaliation, and it was highly likely that the attack would provoke Israel’s government into sending troops into Gaza.
As a result, Hamas leaders publicly expressed that they were willing to suffer heavy losses, including the deaths of many Gazan civilians living under Hamas rule. Ghazi Hamad, a member of the Hamas politburo, told Beirut’s LCBI television in an interview aired on Oct. 24, “We knew that we would have to pay a price, and we were ready to pay it. We are proud to sacrifice martyrs.”
From articles:”Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, on his first trip to Saudi Arabia since the two countries mended ties in March, said Islamic countries should designate the Israeli army a “terrorist organization” for its conduct in Gaza. Raisi told the summit that the only solution to the conflict is a Palestinian state from the “river to the sea” — meaning an elimination of the State of Israel. “We want to take a historic and decisive decision regarding what is happening in the Palestinian territories. Killing civilians and bombing hospitals are manifestations of Israeli crimes in Gaza. Today, everyone must decide which side they stand on,” he said, calling to arm the Palestinians.”
From article:”Arab and Muslim leaders say they reject Israeli claims of “self-defense” in Gaza and demand an immediate halt to military operations there against Hamas after more than a month of war. The final statement from a summit in the Saudi capital seen by AFP says participants “reject describing this war as self-defense or justifying it under any pretext.” The leaders demand that the UN Security Council adopt “a decisive and binding resolution” to halt Israel’s “aggression” in Gaza.”
From article:”Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi called on Saturday for the creation of a Palestinian state “from the river to the sea,” a genocidal rallying cry necessitating the destruction of Israel. The Jewish state is bordered by the Jordan River to the east and the Mediterranean Sea to the west. Raisi issued the threat in Saudi Arabia at a joint meeting of the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to discuss Israel’s war with the Hamas terror group. “The only solution for this conflict is the resistance continuing against the Israeli oppression until the establishment of the Palestinian state from the river to the sea,” said the Iranian leader.”
From article:”About 2,000 pastors, theologians, and academic leaders across denominational lines signed the statement. While acknowledging the differing theological perspectives on Israel and the Church, it condemned the “violence against the vulnerable,” and said it fully supported “Israel’s right and duty to defend itself against further attack, and urgently call all Christians to pray for the salvation and peace of the people of Israel and Palestine.”
“In keeping with Christian Just War tradition, we also affirm the legitimacy of Israel’s right to respond against those who have initiated these attacks as Romans 13 grants governments the power to bear the sword against those who commit such evil acts against innocent life,” says the statement”
From article:”It is a fundamental error to view Hamas as an “extremist” group. It is an arm of the Muslim Brotherhood whose political parties rule a number of Muslim countries. Its political organizations also dominate Muslim communities in America and Europe. Most of Al Qaeda’s leaders were also members of the Muslim Brotherhood. The myth of a split between political Islam and militant Islam, between moderate and extreme Islamic movements was always just that. As Erdogan, the brutal Islamist tyrant who became the poster boy for moderate Islam said, “Islam cannot be either ‘moderate’ or ‘not moderate.’ Islam can only be one thing.” He has since, despite previous claims of turning more moderate and rebuilding relationships, renewed his support for Hamas, and threatened western nations with a Jihad against the “crusaders”.
From article:”Over the past five weeks, the world’s attention has been on Israel’s aerial and ground invasion of Gaza designed to uproot Hamas’s infrastructure and destroy the group’s military capability, with thousands of civilian casualties. But an equal — perhaps bigger — concern for Israel’s military and the country is Hezbollah, which has nearly 10 times the number of missiles as Hamas and a bigger, more professional fighting force. US carrier battle fleets are in the Mediterranean to warn Hezbollah and its sponsor, Iran, against joining in. Both Hamas and Hezbollah are considered terrorist groups by the US. Whether Hezbollah actually plans war with Israel is far from clear. Most analysts say Nasrallah doesn’t seem inclined. Cross-border fire between the two sides is a daily occurrence, yet has so far been relatively contained.”
From article:”In 2021, the Williams Institute at the University of California, Los Angeles carried out a survey of 175 nations and their acceptance of gay and gender-non-conforming people. Palestine was at number 130. Behind Yemen, Saudi Arabia and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The “Queers for Palestine” would literally be better off in the notoriously homophobic petro-Kingdom of Saudi Arabia than in their favourite victim nation. Gay people face staggering levels of persecution in both Gaza and the West Bank. Jail and sometimes even death awaits those who commit the “sin” of carnal knowledge with a member of the same sex. In 2016, Hamas executed one of their own top dogs, Mahmoud Ishtiwi, reportedly for sleeping with a man. Last year, 25-year-old Ahmad Abu Marhia, a gay man, was beheaded by thuggish homophobes in Hebron in the West Bank. Footage of this gruesome hate crime was uploaded to social media.”
Yale Is A “Campus Without Care” After Hosting ‘Anti-Israel’ Event, Jewish Students Say The day has arrived where the Hard Left, Communist, Islamic colleges are openly hating the Jews and will lead the charge to assault and attack the Jews. The day of the Jews feeling comfortable in America is drawing to close. The Jews are just the canary in the mine. This evil college cabal hates real Christians as much as the Jews.
From article:”The students said they feel like Yale has turned its back on Jewish students, noting how the event received “broad institutional support.” Co-sponsors included the Yale Ethnography Hub, Department of American Studies, Department of Anthropology, Department of Religious Studies, Center for Middle East Studies, Program on Ethnicity, Race & Migration, and Program on Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies, according to the event announcement on Yale’s website. Tartak and Crispe said their university feels “hostile” toward Jewish students because of the recent event, as well as “anti-Israel” protests, a petition signed by staff and students accusing Israel of genocide, and the student group Yalies4Palestine urging the campus community to “celebrate the resistance’s success.”
From article:”Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s administration is demanding answers from several prominent news agencies after criticism emerged of their photographers appearing to have been embedded with Hamas terrorists during the October 7 attack. As Breitbart News reported Wednesday, the Associated Press said that it had no foreknowledge of the attack, even though its photographers appeared alongside Hamas terrorists from the first moments that they broke through the Gaza border fence.”
From article:”Texas Islamic Scholar Mohamad Baajour said in a November 4, 2023 lecture in the East Plano Islamic Center that the people of Gaza have not been defeated, but rather they have “revived the faith” in the hearts of the Muslims. He continued to say that they have “exposed the enemy,” ruined their enemy, and “thrown horror in their hearts.” Baajour said that every true Muslim would love to die like the people in Gaza, who are “martyrs.” He continued to supplicate to Allah, saying: “May Allah grant victory to the Muslims […] defeat their enemy.” The lecture was posted on the YouTube channel of the East Plano Islamic Center. According to the website of the Islamic center, Baajour immigrated to the U.S. from Lebanon and serves as the center’s director for education and community development.”
From article:”I am disheartened by what I have witnessed in recent weeks. It seems to prove that the idea of a European Jewry reborn from the darkness of the death camps was actually a ghost—a very vivid ghost, but always and only a ghost. It feels as if there was no new spark of Jewish life on the continent. It was flickering embers amid the ashes of the six million. I’m not the only one who thinks this way. A few days ago, I realized that European Jews are reasonably safe only in our homes and synagogues. An acquaintance told me, “It would be better to still be in the ghettos, because at least beyond homes and synagogues we would also have some streets.” Indeed, if you look at our synagogues and other Jewish institutions, you will see armed guards, locked doors, gates and security checks. The stark reality of our isolation is painfully apparent. This is the new ghetto. We have been forced into it not by antisemitic authorities but by an antisemitic society. A morally apathetic society that is prepared to accept the new ghetto as normal.”
Hezbollah: Mass Murder of Israelis by Hamas ‘Great and Marvelous’ This article shows the real murdering mind of Hamas. Are they following their “prophet” and the Koran? This is real Islam coming into play in the end times. They are about to feel the judgment of the Holy God of Israel.
From article:”Hezbollah Deputy Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem told a Lebanese TV interviewer on Tuesday that the Hamas atrocities of October 7, in which over 1,400 Israeli civilians were raped, tortured, murdered, and abducted, was a “great and marvelous” operation that demonstrated the “courage, audacity, and righteousness” of the Palestinian people. Qassem described the atrocities, which Hamas and its supporters call “Operation Al-Aqsa Storm,” as an “exceptional operation which is unprecedented since the establishment of the Zionist regime.” “It planted the seeds which would lead to the regression and downfall of the regime, since it uncovered that the Israeli security capabilities are extremely weak. The Israeli army is very weak. And the politicians know nothing and cannot envision the future,” he said. Qassem said all branches of the anti-Israel, anti-U.S. “resistance” across the Middle East should take inspiration from the “great success” of the 10/7 attack, and called on all of them to support Hamas.”
From article:”Hamas has revealed its plan for a ‘permanent state of war’ with Israel , urging allies in the Arab world to ‘stand behind’ Gaza amid fears the conflict could overspill into a regional conflict. Taher El-Nounou, a Hamas media adviser, told the New York Times the dire events unfolding in the Middle East since October 7 are necessary ‘to change the entire equation and not just have a clash’. ‘We succeeded in putting the Palestinian issue back on the table, and now no one in the region is experiencing calm,’ El-Nounou said.
‘I hope that the state of war with Israel will become permanent on all the borders and that the Arab world will stand with us.’ At least 10,569 Palestinians including 4,324 children, have been killed and 26,457 wounded in Israeli strikes on Gaza since October 7, the Palestinian Health Ministry said on Wednesday. More than 1,400 Israelis have been killed in the last month, most of whom died during Hamas’ initial incursion into southern Israel.”
From article:””October 7 marked a turning point” in the dimension of anti-Semitism in Germany almost 80 years after World War II, said Salomon. “There are hardly any taboos left.” The public displays of hatred vary from people celebrating the Hamas attack by distributing sweets in a Berlin district with a large Arab population, to chants at demonstrations such as “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” — a slogan interpreted by some as a call for the destruction of Israel. Islamist slogans like “the caliphate is the solution,” seen most recently at a protest in the western city of Essen, have also shocked Germany.”
IDF strikes deep in Gaza, cuts Hamas rocket fire When Hamas is defeated, will Israel then turn to Hezbollah and Iran? I think Israel has to attack both because Iran is very close to producing a nuclear weapon. Israel is running out of time.
From article:”In another incident, the IDF said it attacked a Hezbollah cell which was attempting to launch an anti-tank missile against the agricultural community of Shtula in the Upper Galilee. IDF artillery also responded to an attack from Lebanon against an IDF post near Aramsha in the Western Galilee with shelling. Jerusalem responded more harshly against Hezbollah on Monday, but by Tuesday was back to extremely restrained and calibrated responses.”
From article:”Always remember that actions speak louder than words. So, we must deduct from the government’s actions that it supports the pro-Hamas, pro-Palestinian, and pro-Islamic worldview being shoved down our throats right now by these folks out in the streets playing the role of disrupters. Biden’s vice president, Kamala Harris, pretty much told us as much during her announcement last week that the Biden administration will be launching an “anti-Islamophobia” crusade here in America. This is the government coming right out in the open and telling us that speech deemed to be too critical of Muslims or Islam will be treated differently than speech critical of Jews or Christians. When a government officially tells you that it favors one religion over another, it’s time to worry. That’s a red flag like we’ve never before seen in America. We ought to take Harris and the regime at their word, that they have something serious up their sleeves, and it’s not going to be “democratic” as they so often brag about themselves being.”
From article:”Pro-Palestinian marches are now a feature of everyday life in cities across the globe. Taking up the public space while shouting fiery slogans and waving flags, protesters challenge the very right of Israel to exist while demanding support for Hamas terrorists. Protesters in countries with large Muslim populations, including the U.S., France, Germany, Canada, and the UK express disillusionment with their governments for supporting Israel.”
From article:”Last week marked a historic milestone in military defense: the first combat ever to take place beyond Earth’s atmosphere. Israel’s celebrated Arrow missile-defense system was activated in response to a ballistic missile launched by Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis, aimed at the Israeli port city of Eilat during the incident on Oct. 30. It can be recalled that Brigadier General Yahya Saree, the spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces and also the spokesperson for Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen, announced that they have launched massive military strikes against Israeli targets in the “occupied territories.” “Swords of Iron: The IAF carried out the first operational interception of a ballistic missile threat by the “Arrow” system in the Red Sea region. The threat did not infiltrate into Israeli airspace,” the Ministry of Defense confirmed.”
From article:”“I call on everybody – all the free people of the world, all the friendly countries, all the brotherly [Arab] countries, and all the allies – to exert all the necessary pressure, in all directions and in all forums, in order to end the aggression against Gaza, to stop this war against our children, women, and elderly, our mosques, our universities, and our homes,” he said. “This brutal aggression must stop. This new holocaust must stop.”
“I have said this before, and I say it time again: The blood of the women, children, and elderly… I am not saying that this blood is calling for your [help],” he continued. “We are the ones who need this blood, so it awakens within us the revolutionary spirit, so it awakens within us resolve, so it awakens within us the spirit of challenge, and [pushes us] to move forward.”
From article:”Numerous anti-Israel activist organizations, including Code Pink and National Students for Justice in Palestine, organized the so-called “National March on Washington: Free Palestine” protest, which saw tens of thousands of attendees descend upon Freedom Plaza, waving Palestinian flags and protesting against the Israeli military response to Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack, just a few hundred yards away from the White House. The huge crowd chanted slogans accusing President Joe Biden of being complicit in a “genocide” against the Palestinian population while also repeatedly chanting “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” a phrase which is often interpreted to be an explicit call for the erasure of Israel and its people,”
From article:”Turkey President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is working hard on both domestic and international fronts to advance his grand design of reviving an Islamic caliphate under his rule. It is now no secret that he sees himself as the rightful heir of the former Ottoman caliphate which was abolished in 1924 by the founder of modern Turkey Mustafa Kamal Ataturk”
From article:”They are waging a psychological war against Western governments and publics. Their purpose is to gaslight hundreds of millions of people, to cause them to question their own grip on reality and intimidate them into silence. At the same time, they seek to embolden their allies and fellow travelers to stand openly with Hamas by showing they have nothing to lose from doing so. If they are successful, their efforts will produce an international climate conducive to the achievement of their common goal of eradicating the Jewish people and the Jewish state. If they are partially successful, Israel’s war effort will be undermined, and assaults on Jews worldwide will increase.”
From article:”The situation between America and Iran is this: When you chant ‘Death to America!’ it is not just a slogan – it is a policy,” Khamenei said, according to a translation by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI). “I have stated the reasons previously. For many years, from the 1940s to the 1970s – that is 30 years – the Americans did everything they could do against the Iranian nation.” “They hit Iran in any way they could – financially, economically, politically, scientifically, and morally,” the elderly despot continued. “If it were not for America’s support, if it were not for the support of U.S. weapons, the corrupt and artificial Zionist regime [Israel] would have been destroyed in the first week,” Khamenei claimed. “It would have collapsed. The Americans are behind this:”
The Long Red Shadow Behind Islamic Terrorism What is about to happen is God destroys Communism in China with huge numbers of people dying. Communism will not go into the Tribulation.
From article:”Try searching for “Israel” on China’s biggest search engine Baidu—the nation’s name is no longer on the map. The discovery, which caught many in China by surprise on Oct. 30, is the latest twist in a calculated silence by the regime in Beijing, in contrast to other major world powers that have rushed to Israel’s side. Positioning itself as a mediator and advocate for peace, the regime has criticized Israel for going too far in its counterattack against Hamas. As hostility proliferates against Israel on China’s heavily censored internet and in state media, the terrorist group responsible for the deadly assault hasn’t elicited a single mention in official statements coming out of Beijing.”
From article:”Many people in Lebanon are anxiously awaiting the 3 p.m. (1300 GMT) speech, rattled for weeks by fear of a catastrophic conflict. Some say they are not making plans beyond Friday, believing his remarks will signal the chances of escalation. The speech is also being anticipated more widely. Nasrallah is a leading voice in a regional military alliance established by Iran to counter the United States and Israel. Known as the “Axis of Resistance,” it includes Shi’ite Iraqi militias which have been firing at U.S. forces in Syria and Iraq, and Yemen’s Houthis, who have waded into the conflict by firing drones at Israel.”
From article:”“I want to reiterate that we are not pursuing the spreading of this war,” Iran’s foreign minister, Hossein Amir Abdollahian, said in a recent interview at Iran’s mission to the United Nations. He was in New York to attend U.N. meetings related to the war. But, he added, “The region is at a boiling point and any moment it may explode and this may be unavoidable. If this happens, all sides will lose control.” He warned that regional militias in Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq and Syria could open multiple fronts against Israel, with a high potential “that the result will be that things will not go the way that Israel’s regime wants.” He did not elaborate on what would prompt the groups, which he said act independently.”
From article:”Sisi’s government did open the Rafah crossing – Gaza’s only international crossing – on Wednesday, reportedly allowing over 500 “foreign nationals” to leave. According to Reuters, the Hamas-linked government of Qatar brokered a deal to allow people possessing foreign passports and some “critically injured” people to enter Egypt from Gaza. The Qatari outlet Al Jazeera, reporting from the scene, described long lines forming outside the crossing in Gaza and the Egyptian government publishing lists of hundreds of names of people being allowed out.”
From article:”Ghazi Hamad: “Israel is a country that has no place on our land. We must remove that country, because it constitutes a security, military, and political catastrophe to the Arab and Islamic nation, and must be finished. We are not ashamed to say this, with full force. “We must teach Israel a lesson, and we will do this again and again. The Al-Aqsa Flood is just the first time, and there will be a second, a third, a fourth, because we have the determination, the resolve, and the capabilities to fight. Will we have to pay a price? Yes, and we are ready to pay it. We are called a nation of martyrs, and we are proud to sacrifice martyrs. “We did not want to harm civilians, but there were complications on the ground, and there was a party in the area, with [civilian] population… It was a large area, across 40 kilometers…“The occupation must come to an end.”
From article:”The disturbing fact of the past month is that Jews are under attack not only in Israel and not only by Hamas. The weeks since the barbaric Oct. 7 Hamas invasion of Israel have witnessed physical assaults on Jews the world over, including in the U.S. and Europe. This most modern of pogroms—global, televised, politicized—demonstrates exactly what is at stake as Israel ramps up its defensive war against Hamas in Gaza.”
From article:”“Zionist regime’s crimes have crossed the red lines, which may force everyone to take action. Washington asks us to not do anything, but they keep giving widespread support to Israel,” Raisi said in a post on X. “The US sent messages to the Axis of Resistance but received a clear response on the battlefield,” Raisi said, referring to Iran-aligned groups that are opposed to both Israel and the United States.”
From article:””Just like the Nazi regime, the Ayatollah’s regime (in Iran) sows death and destruction everywhere it touches,” the Israeli ambassador to the UN said. “The Islamic Nazi regime of Iran is responsible for aiding terrorists around the globe, and working toward destroying every value the civilized world holds dear. Today the world is watching the rise of a Shiite Islamic Reich. Yet just like the rise of Nazism, the world is deafeningly silent.”
From article:”“The entire 510 million square kilometers of planet Earth will come under [a system] where there is no injustice, no oppression, no treachery, no Zionism, no treacherous Christianity, and no killings and crimes, like those being committed against the Palestinians, and against the Arabs in all the Arab countries – in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and other countries,” he said.
From article:”Putin appears to be breaking from his previous line of neutrality over Israel and Palestine. This week he called on Israel to cancel its ground invasion into Gaza.Abbas Gallyamov, a former speechwriter for Putin from 2008-2012 who lives in Tel Aviv, tells Daily Express US that Putin has become more reliant on Iran for weapons, and this is why he has shifted to a more pro-Palestine stance.”
From article:”Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan attended the protest and spoke to a massive crowd. “Today in Istanbul, I congratulate every member of my beloved nation who supports the Palestinian cause and gives hope to the oppressed people of Gaza. We call on all countries to protect the common values of humanity trapped under rubble in Gaza, along with children, women and innocent civilians,” Turkey is ready to declare Israel a war criminal. This was stated by Erdogan at a pro-Palestinian rally in Turkey. “Israel, we will also declare you as a war criminal to the world, we are preparing for it, and we will introduce Israel to the world as a war criminal,” Erdogan said, addressing the rally at the Ataturk Airport adding, “Israel is committing war crimes.”
“What was Gaza, Palestine in 1947? What is it today? Israel, how did you get here? How did you enter? You are an occupier, you are an organisation,” he added. “The West owes you (Israel), but Türkiye does not. That is why we speak without hesitation.” “The West’s book of sins has once again overstepped its bounds,” he added. “I am asking West, do you want to create another Crusader War atmosphere?” he asked, adding: “The main culprit behind the massacre unfolding in Gaza is the West.” “Of course, every country has the right to defend itself, but where is justice? There is no defense but an open, and vicious massacre going on in Gaza.” “I said in Davos, you know how to kill. They know well how to kill.”
From article:”Israeli security forces restricted young Palestinians from entering Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem for prayers on Friday and deployed in strength across the Old City and beyond to quell any unrest spilling over from the conflict in Gaza. Large numbers of Israeli police kept guard around Al-Aqsa, a perennial flashpoint and often the scene of clashes, as Palestinians gathered for Friday prayers, Reuters journalists said. At one point they fired teargas. It was the third week in row that Palestinians have been restricted from praying at the mosque following the Hamas assault on southern Israel on Oct. 7 and the ensuing Israeli bombardment and siege of Hamas-ruled Gaza.”
From article:”But while tens of thousands of Israeli troops, battalions of tanks and heavy artillery begin to mass along the border with Gaza, many fear that the real threat is found 125 miles to the north. Hezbollah, or the ‘Party of God’ in Arabic, is a Shiite Islamist political and military organisation based in Lebanon that was founded in the 1980s during the Lebanese Civil War with the support of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard. Its dual political and military setup echoes that of Hamas, but while both groups are backed by Iran’s Islamic Republic, Hezbollah has evolved into a far graver military threat. The group has been exchanging fire with Israel across the border intermittently since Hamas’ October 7 attacks – the latest escalation since Israel and Hezbollah fought a major war in 2006. So far the skirmishes have been just that, with Hezbollah reluctant to commit any meaningful numbers of troops and rockets to fight Israel.”
From article:”The resolution passed in a vote of 412-10 and says that the US “stands” with Israel in the wake of the October 7 Hamas attack and as Israel is relentlessly bombing Gaza. The resolution reaffirmed the US commitment to providing military aid to Israel and said Congress will work to pass more. The bill says the House “stands ready to assist Israel with emergency resupply and other security, diplomatic, and intelligence support.” It also called for the US to continue enforcing sanctions on Iran and condemned the Hamas attack.
Nine Democrats voted against the resolution, including Reps. Jamaal Bowman (NY), André Carson (IN), Cori Bush (MO), Al Green (TX), Summer Lee (PA, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY), Ilhan Omar (MN), Delia Ramirez (IL) and Rashida Tlaib (MI). The sole Republican who voted against the measure was Rep. Thomas Massie (KY).”
From article:”The visit had not been previously announced by either side, and the Hamas delegation is being led by a senior member of the group, Moussa Abu Marzouk. Hamas is a designated terror organization in the US, European Union, and some other countries; but it has official relations with countries like Iran, Turkey, Syria, and now apparently Russia.
Richmond, California, council meeting explodes over resolution blaming Israel after Hamas attack I’ve been saying for a long time that the “love” affair between the Hard Left and the Jews would come to end. The ‘natural” hatred for the Jews would surface, and the American Left would viciously turn against them. This hatred now is manifesting towards the Jews in the USA, and they are heading for huge trouble. This is a great time to the church to stand with the Jews in the name of Jesus. There is coming a time when there will be a massive exodus of American Jews to Israel. The window maybe short, but many will escape.
From article:”The measure, which states that Palestinians are “currently facing a campaign of ethnic cleansing and collective punishment by the state of Israel,” passed in the Bay Area city of Richmond early Wednesday morning by a 5-1 vote. A public comment hearing that lasted for hours leading up to the vote became heated at times with shouting between audience members.
From article:”The infamous Hamas tunnels have played a central role in this worrisome development. Prof. Joel Roskin, a geomorphologist and geologist at Bar-Ilan University’s geography and environment department, has followed the changes in the Gaza tunnels over the years, analyzed the conditions that allowed their formation and expansion and revealed what geological and security conditions have enabled their speedy development.”
From article:”The bulk of Iranian weapons to Palestinians go into the West Bank, particularly to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, a militant group allied with Hamas, according to a senior Jordanian security official. Both have been designated terrorist organizations by the U.S., Europe and Israel. The official said networks of smugglers, assisted by the Syrian government and Iranian-backed militias like Hezbollah, were growing. “The weapons flow has really increased, specifically over the past year. This is because Iran has been much more focused on the West Bank recently, and trying to arm some of the groups there, especially the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which is Iran’s more direct partner,” said Michael Horowitz, Israel-based head of intelligence at Le Beck International, a risk consulting firm.”
From article:”The Pentagon is rushing to deploy nearly a dozen air-defense systems to the region, including for U.S. troops serving in Iraq, Syria, Kuwait, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, to bolster protection of U.S. troops from missiles and rockets. U.S. officials have so far persuaded the Israelis to hold off until those pieces can be placed in the region, as early as later this week.“We will act when there are the best possible conditions for us,” said Israeli military spokesman Daniel Hagari in a briefing Monday when asked about a delay request from the U.S.”
From article:””Look at the division and the global confusion because of Hamas. They brought us to our knees somehow by their brutality and their barbarism. Brutality is even understating Hamas’ acts. Hamas is a religious movement, and they are a raging religious movement against Israel. The mainstream media cannot say this, because they are afraid to ignite a religious war. And what I say, it already is. They want to annihilate the Jewish people because they are Jewish people, because they are a Jewish state.”
From article:”Cruz lambasted the Biden regime for allowing nearly $100 billion to flow into Iran over the last two and a half years. Cruz emphasized that Iran acts as a patron to Hamas, and without this financial backbone, Hamas’s capacity for terror would be significantly crippled. “Over the last two and a half years, Joe Biden and the Biden administration have flowed nearly $100 billion to Iran. Understand Hamas is a proxy for Iran. Without Iran, there would be no Hamas,”
From article:”Iran provides roughly $100 million a year to Palestinian terrorist organizations such as Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and $700 million a year to Hezbollah. Thanks to the Biden administration, the sudden influx of billions of dollars into the regime’s treasury will help the regime to provide more funds, arms and rockets to its terrorist proxies, including Palestinian armed groups, including Hamas and Islamic Jihad. Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi, meanwhile, has already announced that his country will use the new $6 billion “wherever we need it.”
From article:”Austin has ordered that the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group be re-directed to join the USS Ford in the Eastern Mediterranean. This is quite significant as the US Navy has already trained for “dual carrier” operations, the kind of interoperability which would enable a “massive” air attack campaign from the sea. The USS Ford, as a new, high-tech carrier, already operates with a much larger deck space and the ability to maintain a 33-percent increase in a sortie rate. Adding the USS Eisenhower Strike Group can add very large amounts of additional airpower, particularly in the event that the two carriers are “networked” and can maintain interoperability and coordinate operations.”
From article:”“Hezbollah has decided to participate in the fighting, we are exacting a heavy price from it,” Gallant said to troops at the 91st territorial division base, at the Biranit camp on the Lebanon border. “I assume that the challenges will be greater [than they are now], and you have to take this into account, to be ready like a [coiled] spring for any situation,” he added to the forces.”
From article:”With anger building across the Middle East over Israel’s strikes in Gaza, China and Russia are finding common cause with countries across the region in support of the Palestinians. For Moscow and Beijing, Israel’s bombardment of Gaza following the Hamas attacks that killed 1,400 Israelis presents an opportunity to burnish their credentials as the champions of the developing world, in contrast with the United States, which has put its support squarely behind ally Israel. China has consistently called for restraint and a ceasefire but has also sharpened its criticism of Israel. “Israel’s actions have gone beyond the scope of self-defense,” Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said this week, called on it to stop its “collective punishment” of Gaza residents, Chinese state media reported.”
From article:”Sitting in front of a map of the world, Chinese influencer Su Lin has been live-streaming rants in support of Hamas and against Israel since the war broke out. Coming almost every day, they are rife with anti-Semitism. “Hamas is still being too soft, going way too easy,” says Ms Su, who has nearly one million followers online, in one video, adding that the Israelis are “lackeys of colonialism”. “Shouldn’t they be captured?” she shouts into a microphone, referring to Israeli citizens taken hostage. “Israel is now just a Jewish version of the Nazis and militarism.” Ms Su’s videos are part of a wave of anti-Semitism that has emerged online in China since Hamas attacked Israel on Oct 7.”
From article:”The broadcast media, and even the police, are caught in a contrived game of moral equivalence at which the professional Left has always been expert. Seeing Socialist Worker posters held proudly aloft among the Palestinian flags, amid chants that call for the elimination of Israel and its population, might have been shocking a generation ago – but not anymore. Does this all-consuming hatred of Israel take precedence over the commitment to basic human rights which the Left was once committed to defend? Does the hatred of capitalism – of which Jews are seen to be the expert practitioners – now cancel out every other moral principle?”
On Israel, Progressive Jews Feel Abandoned by Their Left-Wing Allies Throughout history the Jews have wondered away from the faith and into the world. The Lord would use the world to chasten them to get the Jews back into the fold. God now is in the process of chastening the Jews with with the Hard Left, Muslims, Communism and woke to drive them back into the fold. You might start to see the Jews beaten and even murdered by their God hating buddies as the old satanic hatred of the Jews comes into play!
From article:”Progressive Jews who have spent years supporting racial equity, gay and transgender rights, abortion rights and other causes on the American left — including opposing Israeli policies in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank — are suddenly feeling abandoned by those who they long thought of as allies. This wartime shift represents a fundamental break within a liberal coalition that has long powered the Democratic Party.”
From article:”“They’ve created a war room in Beirut. They are meeting there the Palestinians, Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah, and the IRGC. They were meeting in Lebanon and now also have a foothold in Syria in order to consolidate,” said Ms Shine. “We see Qaani has been visiting all the time – Iraq, Syria, Lebanon; Iraq, Syria, Lebanon. Always organizing.”
From article:”China has deployed six military warships to the Middle East, amid growing fears that the Israel-Hamas war could spark an all-out war. China’s 44th naval escort task force has been involved in what it says are ‘routine’ operations in the area for the past week.”
From article:”Hamas terrorists who carried out a surprise attack on October 7 were found to be under the influence of Captagon, a synthetic amphetamine-type stimulant that has been clandestinely produced in southern Europe and trafficked through Turkey to the consumer markets on the Arabian Peninsula, as reported by Nir Dvori of Channel 12.The pills were recovered from the pockets of many terrorists who lost their lives on Israeli soil.This stimulant drug, also known as the “cocaine for the poor,” allowed the terrorists to commit heinous acts with a sense of calmness and indifference. Simultaneously, it kept them highly alert for extended periods and suppressed their appetite.”
