‘Ahasuerus (Xerxes) and Haman at the Feast of Esther’ [Who was Haman in the Bible?] by Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn
There are many Liberty-minded Conservatives for which I continue to have admiration EVEN THOUGH they condemn Israel for vigilantly as well as violently making an effort to exterminate the Jew-Hating Islamic Terrorist organization Hamas. Their reasoning for condemning Israel: “Those poor innocent Palestinian civilians are in the crossfire so Israel is guilty of committing genocide.”
REALLY?!?
If anyone bothers to check some facts, those so-called innocent civilians who are nothing more than Arabs who call themselves Palestinians (There is NO such heritage of such a people existing with an Arab ancestry!!!) are not only virulently supporting Hamas terrorism, murder and mayhem BUT ALSO participating alongside Hamas.
Melanie Phillips shares some details on her Substack Page that should bring some clarity to Conservatives. NONETHELESS, to those infected with blame ALL Jews (even though there are both Covenant-Breaking [Leftist] Jews and Covenant-Keeping Jews) for the woes of the world, blaming Jews for genocide rather than self-preservation will always be the first option.
AND NOW, learn the Melanie Phillips facts on the NOT so innocent Arabs calling themselves Palestinians.

In the current war in the Middle East, it’s a given that a distinction must be drawn between Hamas and the “ordinary” Palestinian Arab residents of Gaza.
This distinction, however, is largely spurious.
An article in The Washington Free Beacon that drew upon interviews given to Israeli TV by freed hostages has confirmed that ordinary Gazans were deeply involved in the October 7 pogrom and subjected the hostages to cruelty, abuse and starvation.
Nili Margalit recounted how Gazan “civilians, regular people” took her hostage at knifepoint in the October 7 attack. Margalit said a “boy … 17, maybe 18 years old” and an “older man with the knife” broke down the door of her home in Kibbutz Nir Oz and forced her, barefoot and in pyjamas, into a stolen golf cart.
Margalit said she saw a “mob, thousands of people,” including “women and children,” pouring across Israel’s breached border with Gaza less than two miles away.
She saw two boys, one “no more than four or five years old” and the other 15 or 16, riding an all-terrain vehicle that belonged to her father, a cattle breeder who was among those murdered that day. The boys had apparently already made one trip from Nir Oz to Gaza and were returning for another round of carnage.
A number of the freed hostages said they spent part of their captivity in family homes, hospitals and other civilian sites in Gaza where they were locked into rooms, starved and ill-treated.
Mia Schem, who was shot in the arm and abducted from the Supernova music festival, said her captors brought her directly to a hospital in Gaza as she was bleeding to death.
Schem then received no further treatment or even pain medication. She was taken to a private home where a man and his family held her captive with “pure hate,” forbidding her to speak, cry or move. She would go days without receiving food and was never allowed to bathe.
Bad as their conditions were, the hostages’ captors repeatedly told them that their lives would be at risk if they were discovered by ordinary Gazans. The hostages hardly needed any such warning.
Sharon Aloni Cunio recalled how she and her twin three-year-old daughters were mobbed on October 7 as terrorists brought them into Gaza on a tractor from their home in Nir Oz. “People start beating everyone who was sitting on the tractor — just beating us, from all sides. It was horrific,” she said.
The testimony of the freed hostages carries particular weight because these aren’t extreme nationalists. They are Israelis who, in general, were until October 7 the most fervent believers in peaceful coexistence with the Palestinian Arabs, ferrying Gaza residents to hospital in Israel and establishing many bonds with them.
They believed that whatever the failings of Palestinian leaders, the Palestinian people just wanted to live alongside them in peace and security. Now they say something very different. “I experienced hell. Everyone there are terrorists,” said Schem. “There are no innocent civilians, not one.”
Agam Goldstein-Almog, who was abducted with her mother and two younger siblings after Hamas murdered her father and elder sister in their homes in Kfar Aza, said: “If we previously believed that there was a chance for peace, we’ve lost all faith in these people, especially after we were there and among the population.”
Nor are most Arabs living in the disputed territories of Judea and Samaria any different. Between October 7 and January 15, Rescuers Without Borders recorded more than 2,600 attacks targeting Israeli civilians and soldiers, including 760 cases of rock-throwing, 551 fire bombings, 12 attempted or successful stabbings and nine vehicular assaults.
The IDF has been fighting heavy battles in these territories to thwart attacks and destroy terrorist infrastructure. In recent weeks, it’s been investigating possible infiltration tunnels discovered near Jewish communities in the Hebron Hills in Judea and Shiloh in Samaria’s Binyamin region.
The Palestinian Authority has never condemned the October 7 pogrom; on the contrary, its main party, Fatah, has repeatedly extolled the atrocities. A poll published by the Palestinian Centre for Policy and Survey Research showed support for Hamas in Judea and Samaria more than tripled after October 7, with no fewer than 82 per cent of Arabs there supporting the attack and 70 per cent of them supporting the “armed struggle” against Israel.
In any moral universe, a set of people bent upon exterminating another would be treated as pariahs by the international community and their rights would be considered forfeit.
Yet America is even now insisting that the “route to peace” is through a Palestinian state that must be ruled by a “revitalised” and “reformed” PA.
There’s zero chance of any such reform. Such a state would merely revitalise the capacity of the Palestinian Arabs to inflict yet more genocidal attacks on Israel.
America and Britain remain wedded to the “two-state solution” because they refuse to acknowledge that this conflict is not over a division of land. Instead, it is a war of annihilation against the Jewish homeland that has lasted for almost 100 years.
Moreover, the reason the conflict still endures is the behaviour of the west itself.
Led by Britain in the 1930s, the west has consistently rewarded and incentivised Arab aggressors bent on destroying Israel, while it has prevented Israel from taking the measures necessary to see off the threat once and for all.
The essential prerequisite for any solution is for the west to withdraw support for Palestinian aggression and unequivocally back Israeli self-defence. Deprived of both western funding and validation, the Palestinian agenda would fall apart.
Instead, the west continues to promote the murderous fiction that there are “good” Palestinians who deserve a state of their own — which would be a terror state with Israel at its mercy.
The west’s lethal error goes even deeper. America and the UK have failed to realise that, just as Hamas can’t be divorced from the Palestinians but are part of the same genocidal entity, so the war against Israel is merely the most neuralgic element of a civilisational war between the Muslim world and the west.
That war was declared in 1979, when the Islamic revolution in Iran galvanised and radicalised Sunni as well as Shi’ite Muslims across the world, helping to create al Qaeda.
The new Iranian regime declared war on the west and has prosecuted that war ever since with virtually no pushback. Instead, western appeasement has helped finance and bolster Iran’s terrorism, proxy wars and quest for hegemony.
That catastrophic strategy, combined with the west’s continued financing and support of the Palestinian agenda, enabled the Hamas pogrom and onslaught on Israel from multiple fronts in Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Judea and Samaria.
This already metastasising conflict is feared to presage a world war in which Russia and China join Iran against a west which has shown such lamentable enfeeblement in the Middle East. [Blog Editor: Hmm… Sounds like a Gog – Magog & Revelation description to me. Perspectives: HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE & HERE.]
Britain and America do not only insist that “bad” Hamas is different from the “good” Palestinians. They similarly claim that al Qaeda, ISIS and other radical Islamists are merely rogue actors in an otherwise unthreatening Muslim world.
Both Britain and America have accordingly failed to recognise how jihadis intent upon conquering the west for Islam — as Hamas has said is its own ultimate aim —have tunnelled into British and American democratic structures and institutions as devastatingly as they have tunnelled into Israel from Gaza and Lebanon.
As a result of myopia, muddled thinking and moral cowardice, America and Britain are not just aiming to ensure that an Israel they protect from outright annihilation will nevertheless continue to twist in the murderous Islamist wind. They have also advertised to the enemies of civilisation that the west itself is ripe for conquest.
My most recent exclusive post for my premium subscribers argued that the British government’s attitude towards Islamism remains dangerously blinkered. This is how the piece begins:
At long last, the British government is to proscribe the Islamist group Hizb ut Tahrir under anti-terrorism laws. This jihadi group was founded in Jerusalem in 1953 with the aim of replacing Muslim leaders viewed as not Muslim enough and eventually establishing a caliphate with world-wide implementation of Islamic sharia law. —Read full story

I’m sharing two posts I read on 11/28 but probably won’t make it to my blogs until 11/29 due to personal time constraints.
The first share is about an issue emerging not only in America but also world-wide: Which is the disconcerting emergence Antisemitic Jew-Hatred. It’s CRAZY to blame ALL Jews for the ideology and actions of Leftist Jews who have essentially abandoned the Covenant Promises the Almighty made with the descendants (And yes that includes Covenant-Keeping Converts) of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The Covenant-Breakers have to be clueless (or incredulously no longer care) the curses for Covenant-Breaking lie at their doorposts as much in this life as in the eternity that follows.
AND TO BE CLEAR I am not a Replacement Theology Christian. I am an Engrafted To The Covenants and Promises Christian via Adoption that comes by faith in the Redemptive Blood of the Risen Savior Jesus Christ. [Basis for this Bible Truth: Romans 11: 11-27; Ephesians 2: 1-22 AMPC]
The Title of the first share: “Israel In The Crosshairs: Part 1 – A Soviet Psy-Op Second to None”. Here’s first paragraph that caught my interest:
“The aftermath of Hamas’ Simchat Torah surprise attack on Israel has left us with definitive answers to several questions.
• The vaunted Two-State Solution, previewed in Hamas’ barbaric October 7th massacre of Israeli civilians, is dead in the water.
• Arab Muslims are serious about wiping Israel off the map.
• Jew hatred is alive and well.
• And yes, it can happen again.”
The second share is from is from Leo Hohmann’s Substack page entitled, “FBI tells Newsweek that Trump supporters are enemies of the state and must be secretly tracked, monitored, investigated: Will Trump supporters start to disappear leading up to and following the 2024 election? The FBI appears to be laying a narrative that hints of unprecedented actions on American soil.”
So if you are a MAGA proponent that voted for President Trump in the past, the Election Coup installed Biden Administration considers you an ENEMY OF THE STATE as in a Domestic Terrorist. AND IF THAT IS THE CASE, even though you have not committed one act of violence comparable to Islamic Terrorists, Antifa thugs or Black Lives Matters thugs. THEN America’s Modern Secret Police – The FBI (hearken back to Gestapo, NKVD [SHORT VERSION & LONG VERSION], KGB[HISTORY LEADING TO KGB & KGB FOCUSED], Stasi, etc.) – is preparing Secret Police-style actions against YOU.

PRELUDE
The aftermath of Hamas’ Simchat Torah surprise attack on Israel has left us with definitive answers to several questions.
The vaunted Two-State Solution, previewed in Hamas’ barbaric October 7th massacre of Israeli civilians, is dead in the water.
Arab Muslims are serious about wiping Israel off the map.
Jew hatred is alive and well.
And yes, it can happen again.
These are troubling discoveries, but we ignore the truth at our peril. And in that spirit, I’m going to forge ahead by not only commenting on the war between Hamas and Israel, but also by revisiting the history underlying this conflict in my article to follow.
But first I’d like to take a proverbial bird’s eye view of the whole situation.
There are three groups currently vying for world control. They are: the Chinese Communists, Muslim fundamentalists, and the Luciferian globalist elites with their plan for a New World Order/One World Government/Great Reset. [Bold Text Emphasis is Blog Editor’s]
We might also include the Nazis’ vaunted plan for a Thousand Year Reich—but though we’re seeing Nazi eugenicist elements involving the mRNA vaccines, etc., we can include this element as a subset within the globalist NWO cabal—though to give the Nazi’s their due, the whole global plan is both communistic and fascistic in nature.
The Davos Elites, aka the globalist cabal, are the ultimate people without a state, as they have no loyalty to their own countries where they hold citizenship. Indeed, they coined the phrase “citizens of the world”—but that’s ostensibly meant for We the Serfs, as they prod us closer and closer to their planned Global Government. They clearly plan to be “rulers of the world,” not mere citizens. But they have no army or navy of their own, so how are they going to conquer the rest of us?
In part through the United Nations, which they fund generously—think about those whopping donations from great “philanthropists” like Bill Gates, who gave $1.2 billion in 2022 alone, Warren Buffett, who donates lavishly to the Gates Foundation which funds the UN and the WHO, and Ted Turner, who’s given $1 billion to the UN since 1997, etc. In fact, what they have is trillions of dollars and control of many governments through bought-and-paid-for government officials. As they say, money talks.
And of course we know they plan to force us all to use a digital currency they control, while monitoring and surveilling us 24/7, so they can zap us with Social Credit Score violations, giving them excuses to turn off our access to our money. Shades of the Mark of the Beast, and a dastardly underhanded way to starve the “dissidents” to death who refuse their enslavement.
Still, they have no physical force, no shock troops, no military of their own.
ENTER THE CHINESE COMMUNISTS AND MUSLIM JIHADIST ARABS
Hypothetically speaking, wouldn’t it be possible for the Luciferian elites to fund and otherwise help to inflame the Arab Muslim world, including Hamas and the Palestinians? Why have there been so many fruitless wars in the Middle East in the past two decades or so? And why was Europe forced to open its stable countries to hundreds of thousands of so-called “refugees” all from Muslim countries—i.e. jihadist refugees? Just think what a mess UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, has made of Europe. At the very least, they’ve destabilized Europe already, making a thorough takeover that much easier—and with the added benefit from their perspective, of making impressive inroads on destroying Western Civilization.
THEN AND NOW
Recall what Communism under Castro did to the previously flourishing tropical paradise of Cuba, or how Iran prospered and flourished under the Shah, who westernized and modernized the country, gave women the vote, and the right to abandon the chador in favor of Dior New Look glamorous outfits from Paris, etc. Then came Khomeini, the militant Islamist, and suddenly women were not only deprived of many rights, but covered from head to toe in heavy chadors or hijabs, leaving only their eyes visible. No wonder so many fled to the West! It was as if Khomeini thrust them into a time machine that took them back to the 7th century.
These two ideologies, Communism and Islam—which is an ideology as well as a religion—both rule with an iron fist. The resultant oppression, misery and poverty of the people in such nations seems unavoidable. The common denominator? Tyranny—exactly what our Founders sought to guard against in America. [Bold Text Emphasis Blog Editor’s]
And speaking of America, remember when we learned Chinese soldiers were training in Canada, near our northern border? Or that hidden among migrants trooping into America over our non-existent southern border under O’Biden’s regime, are military-aged men some of whom are from Muslim countries and likely jihadists? Do you think that the kind of killing spree and horrific massacre we witnessed on October 7th in Israel could never happen here?
But regardless of what evils the jihadist Muslims and Communist Chinese may yet inflict on other nations, I believe at present they are dangerous pawns in the hands of the psychopathic billionaire “elites.” It remains to be seen if either or both of the Frankensteinian monsters that currently serve the elites’ purpose, will turn on them in the end.
ISRAEL IN THE CROSSHAIRS, PART ONE: A SOVIET PSY-OP SECOND TO NONE
Suppose I were to tell you that the entire narrative about the Palestinians having lost their country was a fiction, a contrivance—a psy-op designed to enlist people’s sympathy for the Arabs living in Gaza and the West Bank, and to provoke anger towards Israel. In that case there would be no “Palestinians” since there never was a country called Palestine—a region, yes; a nation, no.
Who then would the Arab residents of Gaza be? Mostly Egyptians. And the so-called Palestinians in the so-called West Bank? Mostly Jordanians.
And if this were true, would you regard the current situation in Israel in the same light? Here’s another question:
If there never was an Arab country named Palestine, then what would be the meaning of the phrase, “From the river to the sea, Palestine shall be free”? It could only mean one thing: that Israel, the country nestled between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, would be eradicated, leaving no Jewish state in the Middle East.
One more point to underscore: if there was no nation of Palestine, there was no country stolen from the so-called Palestinians. [Bold Text Emphasis Blog Editor’s]
Well, hang on to your hats—it just so happens that the seemingly fanciful propositions I listed above are actually true.
It was not until the Romans crushed the second Jewish revolt against Rome in 135 A.D. under Bar Kochba that Emperor Hadrian applied the term Palestine to the Land of Israel. … He took the name of the ancient enemies of Israel, the Philistines, Latinized it to Palestine, and applied it to the Land of Israel. He hoped to erase the name Israel from all memory. Thus, the term Palestine as applied to the Land of Israel was invented by the inveterate enemy of the Bible and the Jewish people, Emperor Hadrian.
… the original Philistines were not Middle Eastern at all. They were European peoples from the Adriatic sea next to Greece… the original “Palestinians” had nothing to do, whatsoever, with any Arabs.
For decades, the Arabs have promoted the big lie that they are the indigenous people of the land, that the Jews were the colonizers who deprived them of their rights and that the Israelis continue to oppress and practice “genocide” against them. Every part of that is not only untrue but it is the “Palestinians” who seek aggressive conquest and the Israelis who are victims of their terror.
And Joseph Farah, founder of WND.com and a Christian Arab himself, has this to say:
There has never been a land known as Palestine governed by Palestinians. Palestinians are Arabs, indistinguishable from Jordanians (another recent invention), Syrians, Iraqis, etc. Keep in mind that the Arabs control 99.9 per cent of the Middle East lands. Israel represents one-tenth of one per cent of the landmass. But that’s too much for the Arabs. They want it all.
THE SOVIET/COMMUNIST CONNECTION
This begs the question: Who got the ball rolling regarding this fictional narrative? So let’s take a look at the origin of the Palestinian psy-op that by now is deeply ingrained in the media and the public square.
As described in great detail by historian David Meir Levy in his book History Upside Down: The Roots of Palestinian Fascism and the Myth of Israeli Aggression, the psy-op got its legs in the late 1960’s when radical Muslim Yassir Arafat was told by North Vietnamese leader Ho Chi Minh’s General Giap, “Stop talking about annihilating Israel and instead turn your terror war into a struggle for human rights. Then you will have the American people eating out of your hand.” Worked like a charm…
Though we have to give the Soviets credit for originating the fiction of the victimized Palestinians. It was pure Soviet disinfo, hatched along with their creation of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO)—one of their many fake “liberation” organizations in the 60s and 70s, along with those the Soviets pursued in Bolivia, Colombia, and Armenia.
Moreover, Egyptian-born Arafat, soon to become the leader of the PLO (Palestinian Liberation Organization), was coached by the masters, including Romanian Communist dictator Ceausescu. Here’s a telling fact:
In the PLO Charter preamble they actually had to use the phrase “Palestinian Arab People” to exclude those Jews who had retained a presence in Palestine since Biblical times and had been a majority population in Jerusalem as early as 1845.
In other words, in the region referred to as “Palestine”—which is basically a synonym for The Holy Land, The Promised Land, Zion, and Israel itself—there were Palestinian Jews, Arabs and Christians.
Interestingly, Arafat proved an unruly pupil at first, fixated on obliterating Israel and impatient with the Soviet subterfuge. But he eventually got with the Soviet program after Ceausescu worked on him:
Romanian Communist dictator Ceausescu, at Soviet urging, persuaded Arafat to abandon his claim of wanting to annihilate the Jews in Israel in favor of “liberating the Palestinian People” in Israel.
That it was a deception was admitted by PLO members themselves. For instance, in 1977, in an interview for a Dutch newspaper, PLO board member Zahir Muhsein stated that… there is no such thing as the “Palestinian People”, that the term’s use is a political ploy, and there is no quest for political self-determination —as soon as the Jews have been wiped out, sovereignty would be turned over to Jordan.
And Hafez Assad is on record stating that prior to 1964, Arabs we’re told are Palestinians, called themselves “citizens of Greater Syria.”
All this and more can be found in an article by Wallace Edward Brand, entitled, Soviet Russia, the Creators of the PLO and the Palestinian People. Through Soviet Orwellian doublespeak, jihad became “liberation,” and tiny Israel surrounded by hostile Arab Muslim nations became an “oppressor,” while the jihadists were recast as freedom fighters and oppressed victims, in a seemingly diabolical inversion of reality.
Ion Mihai Pacepa, the highest ranking Soviet defector of all time, was one of Arafat’s coaches. Here’s his revelation from a conversation he had with KGB Chairman Yury Andropov:
According to Andropov, the Islamic world was a waiting petri dish in which we could nurture a virulent strain of America-hatred, grown from the bacterium of Marxist-Leninist thought. Islamic anti-Semitism ran deep. The Muslims had a taste for nationalism, jingoism, and victimology. Their illiterate, oppressed mobs could be whipped up to a fever pitch.
Chronicles of a Communist Spy Chief in Romania – Mihai Pacepa [NWV Photo]
rabid, demented hatred for American Zionism by manipulating the ancestral abhorrence for Jews felt by the people in that part of the world.
In the mid-1970s we also started showering the Islamic world with an Arabic translation of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a tsarist Russian forgery that had been used by Hitler as the foundation for his anti-Semitic philosophy. We also disseminated a KGB-fabricated “documentary” paper in Arabic alleging that Israel and its main supporter, the United States, were Zionist countries dedicated to converting the Islamic world into a Jewish colony.
We in the Soviet bloc tried to conquer minds, because we knew we could not win any military battles. (Emphasis mine [i.e., Cherie Zaslawsky].)
And conquer minds they did, as one can see today by reading anti-Semitic and pro-Hamas articles galore in the news and online, and many more in readers’ comments. In fact, I’ve come across whole websites that spew the anti-Semitic rubbish about Zionists planning to take over the world, as well as people referring to the long-debunked “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” as if they’d just found the Holy Grail.
Of course myths die hard, and this one has become so entrenched many people will likely experience cognitive dissonance when learning the truth, and be tempted to shut it out. Nevertheless, it is essential to understand the actual facts if we’re to keep our moral compasses pointed to the true north.

FBI tells Newsweek that Trump supporters are enemies of the state and must be secretly tracked, monitored, investigated:
Will Trump supporters start to disappear leading up to and following the 2024 election? The FBI appears to be laying a narrative that hints of unprecedented actions on American soil.
Have you ever posted a comment to any social-media platform that was even remotely favorable towards Trump?
If so, you may be on an FBI watchlist.
According to an October 4 report in Newsweek, “the federal government believes that the threat of violence and major civil disturbance around the 2024 U.S. presidential election is so great that it has quietly created a new category of extremists that it seeks to track and counter: Donald Trump‘s army of MAGA followers.”
Notice the term “army.” There’s a sinister purpose behind that word. The government, in cooperation with its corporate partners at Newsweek, are trying to paint a picture of an organized military force ready to go to war with Trump as its leader.
As a member of the conservative movement in America, I can tell you that it is the most unorganized, disjointed and fragmented movement in the country. It is not in any way monolithic and as such poses no threat to the government or anyone else.
But this is who our government has targeted for monitoring and tracking.
They’re not worried about the Chinese men of military age pouring over the open border at a rate of 2,000 to 4,000 per month under Biden. They’re not worried about Iranian sleeper cells. NO, they’re worried about American citizens on the Trump team who want to see their candidate in the White House.
Here’s a blurb from the article:
The challenge for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the primary federal agency charged with law enforcement, is to pursue and prevent what it calls domestic terrorism without direct reference to political parties or affiliations—even though the vast majority of its current “anti-government” investigations are of Trump supporters, according to classified data obtained by Newsweek.
“The FBI is in an almost impossible position,” says a current FBI official, who supposedly requested anonymity to discuss highly sensitive internal matters.
The official told Newsweek that the FBI is intent on stopping domestic terrorism and any repeat of the January 6, 2021, “attack on the Capitol.”
But the FBI source told Newsweek that the agency must also preserve the Constitutional right of all Americans to campaign, speak freely and protest the government, as if it holds its nose and begrudgingly goes through the motions of “preserving” any of our rights.
This article is a laughing stock. Pure propaganda. [Bold Text Emphasis Blog Editor’s] But they’re not even good at creating propaganda because nobody with half of a working brain cell still believes the FBI has any respect for the Constitution. This is the same agency that threatened to investigate parents attending school board meetings and traditional Catholics who attend Latin masses. This is the same FBI that breaks down the doors of unarmed senior citizens like Roger Stone (see photo above from 2019), and arrests elderly women praying in front of abortion clinics.
By focusing on Trump and his MAGA supporters, the FBI official said, the Bureau runs the risk of provoking the very anti-government activists that the terrorism agencies hope to counter.
“Especially at a time when the White House is facing Congressional Republican opposition claiming that the Biden administration has ‘weaponized’ the Bureau against the right wing, it has to tread very carefully,” says the official.
Oh, such a poor FBI, crying crocodile tears because it has to at least pretend like it has constitutional boundaries within which it can conduct its Gestapo operations on American soil, violating households under cover of darkness, forcing its victims into black SUVs and hauling them off in handcuffs and leg irons to the American gulag as they await their show trials. [Bold Text Emphasis Blog Editor’s]
Their crime? These Americans are “anti-government” in their thinking.
Hmm. Unless there is a new category of crime passed by Congress, the thought crime, and I don’t recall such a law being passed, then it is no crime at all to be “anti-government.”
Any government that prosecutes one of its citizens for being “anti-government” is by nature tyrannical, because people living under a legitimate constitutional government would have no reason to be anti-government. By even accusing us of being guilty of being “anti-government,” our government has admitted to its own crimes against humanity. [Bold Text Emphasis Blog Editor’s]
This Newsweek article was perhaps the most pathetic psy op disguised as a news article I’ve ever seen. Its purpose was not to inform but to intimidate while presenting a facade of respect for our Constitutional rights.
This is exactly why the FBI should have never been created in the first place. Our founding fathers would have rolled over in their graves at the thought of a national police force. Even if it started out with a mission that focused on legitimate federal crimes such as foreign terrorists who infiltrated America, any freedom-respecting constitutionalist could have predicted with a little common sense that it would one day be weaponized and turned against the domestic political opponents of an empowered elite.
This is why I am of the belief that the FBI should be totally defunded and permanently disbanded. If allowed to exist at all, it should be disarmed. You do not need to be armed in order to be a strictly investigative agency. Do your investigations and then turn the information over to state or local law enforcement, which could then make the decisions about whether to make any arrests.
Anyone who is a regular reader of mine knows I am no fan of Donald Trump. I turned against him when he rolled out a militarized vaccine program with an injection that wasn’t even a vaccine, using mRNA technology to tinker with human genetics. He’s also now gone soft on abortion, saying Republicans need to moderate their pro-life position. You’re either pro-life or you’re not, Donald. You can’t have it both ways. So I am done with Trump. I think he could even be a plant who is working for the other globalists, a type of Emmanuel Goldstein character from Orwell’s 1984. In short, controlled opposition.
But to say that Trump’s followers comprise the main threat to stability in the United States is utter nonsense and the FBI knows it. In fact, I would say that the FBI is a much bigger threat to American stability than the followers of Trump, Joe Biden, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., or any other political candidate.
For the record, I am not anti-government. I believe wholeheartedly in the need for government, but it must be legitimate government that exercises powers clearly delineated in the U.S. Constitution. Any powers not specifically enumerated to the federal government in that document rest with the states. That’s just a fact. Those at the top of the U.S. Justice Department and FBI know this. Don’t believe their lies. [Bold Text Emphasis Blog Editor’s] Don’t bite on their fake corporate “news.” The truth is that the FBI is an enforcer for what’s become a one-party state with the Democrats as the lead organ of oppression and the Republicans playing the role of fake opposition. They speak of an uprising because that’s what they want, the more violent the better. Don’t take the bait.
Undoubtedly with Leftist incitement to cause chaos in a Christian-oriented culture; Pro-(Pseudo)-Palestinian protests/riots against Israeli reprisal to Hamas Islamic Terrorist brutal-outrageous murders of Jews (and any Western non-Jew who happened to be in the way) have been under way in the USA, Europe and the one-time Free World.
I’m about to rile all the Antisemites, the Jew-Haters, Those who can’t distinguish between Covenant-breaking Leftist Jews and Covenant-Keeping Chosen-People Jews, the Conservatives I admire yet unwittingly believe there are peaceful Pseudo-Palestinian civilians and anti-Medical Tyranny folks ALSO believing there are peaceful Pseudo-Palestinian civilians. TO THE RILED: YOU ARE SUPPORTING EVIL – SHAME-SHAME ON YOU!
It is true that there are (essentially) Leftist Self-Loathing Jews who are more interested in Leftist ideology and Globalist agendas than the Covenants made between the ALMIGHTY and Abraham (and sealed by Moses). It is true European Ashkenazi Jews who immigrated to their HOMELAND from Ottoman days and British control days were more secular Left-Wing than Covenant-Religious. Zionism began as a Leftist movement. It should fascinate non-Jews that God utilized counter-Covenant movements to facilitate a Jewish Return much like Nebuchadnezzar (HERE, HERE & HERE) was used to punish Covenant-Breaking Jews and Cyrus restored (HERE & HERE) Covenant-Keeping Jews to their Promised Land. NEITHER Nebuchadnezzar nor Cyrus were Jewish but used by the ALMIGHTY. Ergo, even though Zionism – past and present – may have involved Covenant-Breaking Jews, it is my opinion the Jewish Return and restored nationhood reflects the operation of the ALMIGHTY.
I could go on about issues Jew-Haters like to bring up. For Example the idiocy of the proven forgery of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion for World domination and the existence of the Jewish Khazarian Mafia with Globalist intentions. Heads up: Jew-Haters try to associate Khazarian Jews with Ashkenazi European Jews which is unlikely because they were more likely Turkic converts to Judaism. Khazarian FACTS Jew-Haters like to dismiss with Antisemitic narratives – SEE HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE & HERE.
A) There is no such as a historical people of Palestinians. The Arab descendants of those who adopted that name are largely immigrants to the area at about the same time European Jews who immigrated to the historical Homeland PROMISED to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (NOT TO ISHMAEL – SEE HERE & HERE).
Actual Philistines & Fake Palestinians
B) The name Palestine was given to the area by irritated Latin Romans weary of Jewish rebellion after Roman conquest. The name derives from Israel’s traditional enemies of Philistines. I read a Pro-Palestine commenter on THE EXPOSÉ claim the Greeks gave the area the name “Palestine” to the area by historian Herodotus in the 5th Century BCE. The error in the Herodotus assertion to “Palestine” is that the Greek historian was talking about the old Israelite enemies the non-Arab Philistines and NOT the Arab immigrants who adopted the name to steal the land from Jews. SEE THE QUOTE:
“During the Persian period, the area that is now Israel and Syria was referred to as Coele-Syria. A derivative of the name Palestine first appears in Greek literature in the 5th Century BCE when the historian Herodotus used the word “Palaistine” to refer to the coastal strip inhabited by the Philistines.” – Origins of the Name “Palestine” and Palestinian Nationalism; Jewish Virtual Library.
D) Because of Pseudo-Palestinian academic and media indoctrination to hate Jews and Westerners (and by Westerners – especially non-Muslim Americans), those people are willing human shields under the under the idiocy to protect Hamas murderers and their weapon arsenals. MEANING: They are NOT innocent civilians being injured and killed in the Israeli reprisals to eliminate Hamas as a political and paramilitary Islamic terrorist force.
TO BE CLEAR: There was a time I would have been behind any form of military support to be given to Israel. NOT SO MUCH TODAY! The current nation of Israel is as dominated by Globalist Agenda bureaucrats as the U.S. Government is. It’s only opinion, but it’s my opinion: Globalists are striving for a WWIII as part of a population culling agenda. ERGO, I don’t have a problem with sending military hardware to Israel to push the unbiblical Arabs out of the Jewish Homeland, BUT I do have a problem with sending American Taxpayer cash the USA cannot afford and I have a problem with sending American military personnel to a Globalist inspired conflict to engage in a WWIII. I have transformed into something Globalists would not appreciate – A TRADITIONAL/HISTORICAL AMERICAN ISOLATIONIST. Here are some historical Isolationist tidbits, some of which I like and some not so much: HERE & HERE. I guess I’m a cherry-picking Isolationist but definitely an ANTI-Globalist Isolationist.
And to drive points A – D HOME, below are two November 4 cross posts that I am convinced the Leftist-CIA-Globalist Mockingbird Media have not shared or twisted with propaganda if it was shared:
“Hamas Latest Statement Puts The Far Left In A Corner”
“Global Rise Of Antisemitism: A Harbinger Of The Approaching Tribulation”
PLEASE! I need more Patriots to step up. I need Readers willing to chip in $5 – $10 – $25 – $50 – $100. PLEASE YOUR generosity is NEEDED. PLEASE GIVE to Help me be a voice for Liberty:
Amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of Hamas, has issued a call for Palestinian civilians to sacrifice their lives in response to Israel’s recent strikes against Hamas terrorists in Gaza. In a televised speech on Thursday, Haniyeh accused Israel of perpetrating a “new holocaust” against the people of Gaza, urging “free people” and “friendly countries” to exert pressure on Israel to cease the attacks.
“This brutal aggression must stop. This new holocaust must stop,” Haniyeh stated, referring to Israel’s military strikes in retaliation for a recent terrorist attack by Hamas that killed 1,400 Israelis, wounded more than 5,200 others, and took hundreds hostage. [Blog Editor Bold Text Emphasis]
The terrorist attack that took place on October 7th was described as an unprecedented act of violence. Disturbing accounts reported children being beheaded, babies burned alive, and women brutally raped by Hamas terrorists. Despite these horrifying acts, Haniyeh called for even more bloodshed, stating that the blood of innocent Palestinian civilians should ignite the revolutionary spirit within us and propel us forward.
Hamas, a designated terrorist organization by the United States and other countries, has a long history of using civilians as human shields in its attacks against Israel. The group has also been known to twist and distort the truth to further its own agenda.
IN HIS OWN WORDS: Hamas Leader Ismail Haniyeh, from the comfort of his home in Qatar: "We need the blood of women, children, and the elderly of #Gaza… so as to awaken our revolutionary spirit."

🚨 Breaking: Hamas leader Ghazi Hamad says they will repeat October 7-like massacres until Israel is annihilated.
Amidst the ongoing conflict, Hamas has made false allegations of Israel bombing a hospital, exploiting this misinformation to gain sympathy and support on the global stage. However, video evidence provided by the Israeli Defense Forces has revealed Hamas’ utilization of civilian areas to launch rockets and their exploitation of public buildings as operational bases, thereby endangering innocent civilians.
In the midst of these events, Israel asserts that its military actions are imperative to safeguard its citizens against the relentless onslaught of terrorist attacks orchestrated by Hamas. The nation has endured persistent threats and assaults from Hamas for years, necessitating proactive measures to ensure the protection of its people.
The world watches on with growing concern as the conflict between Israel and Hamas shows no There are no signs of slowing down. Israel remains committed to protecting its people from terrorist threats, while Hamas persists in advocating for more violence and bloodshed.
There is an alarming rise of global antisemitism. The global surge of venomous hatred of the Jewish people and the nation of Israel is palpable in our world today.
Just this week, Jewish leaders told US Officials, “We’ve never seen anything like this ever.”
In the United States, there has been a 400% increase in antisemitic incidents just since October 7th. This time last year, in 2022, antisemitic incidents were up 36%, which was the highest on record. In 2023, the number rose again before going dramatically higher in the wake of the Hamas attack and Israel’s response.
“History is flashing warnings to the world,” the article begins by stating.
“Outbursts of antisemitism have often been harbingers of societies in deep trouble and omens that extremism and violence are imminent,” they described. “Recent antisemitism is also a reflection of destructive forces tearing at American and western European societies, where stability and democracy are already under pressure.”
The rise of antisemitism is a warning sign that something bad is coming. In this case, it’s a warning sign that the tribulation may be in the not-too-distant future.
Antisemitism is metastasizing all over the world. Many of you have seen reports regarding college campuses in the United States. On one of the message boards of Cornell University was a statement calling for people to slit the throats of Jews.
In America, 3 out of 10 of the 18-24 age group believe that the US should support Hamas in this conflict rather than Israel. 26% believe that the solution to this problem is for Israel to be destroyed and the land to be given to Hamas and the Palestinians. So we see, especially among younger Americans, a growing wave of antisemitism.
Another place where this is mushrooming is in Turkey. There was a massive antisemitic gathering in the city of Istanbul. Turkey’s President Recep Erdoğan accused Israel of war crimes and vehemently insisted that Hamas is not a terrorist organization. Israel has pulled their diplomats and announced that they are reassessing their relationship with Turkey.
Turkey is one of the main nations mentioned in the Ezekiel 38 coalition that will invade Israel in the end times. Their relationship with Israel has done a 180˚ just since October 7th.
There are also significant protests in Paris and London, with signs such as “Gas the Jews,” “Hitler should have finished the job,” and the most virulent kind of antisemitism you can imagine. We’ve all heard the report about the airport in Dagestan, which is a Muslim area of Russia. People were tearing through the airport when a flight arrived from Tel Aviv, searching for Jews to Lynch.
It’s Irrational, And It’s Demonic
These are chilling echoes of the 1930s and the 1940s. What we should keep in mind, as we see all of this, is that there is much more to antisemitism than meets the eye. What we’re seeing is the unveiling of an ancient satanic conspiracy. Antisemitism has been rightly called “the oldest hatred.” It goes all the way back to the time of God’s calling of Abraham.
Some of you may be wondering what antisemitism means. The main definition I’ve read is “prejudice against or hatred of Jews,” but there’s another definition. A friend of mine named Olivier Melnick, who is a Messianic Jew, defines antisemitism as “the demonic irrational hatred of the Jewish people and Israel, characterized by thoughts, words, and actions.” [Blog Editor’s Bold Text Emphasis]
It’s irrational, and it’s demonic. God chose Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and their descendants to be the forebears of the Messiah. Therefore, Satan wants to destroy them because he hates what God loves.
The problem is our world today is blind to the demonic component of antisemitism. They look at this and think, why does the world hate the Jews so much? They don’t understand that Satan takes irrational things, such as the hatred of the Jewish people and the land of Israel, and makes them appear rational.
Satan tried to wipe out the Jewish people so that the Messiah couldn’t come. Once Jesus was born and began His ministry, Satan incited the Jewish leaders and the Romans to kill Him. Since Jesus’ death and resurrection, Satan has now been trying to wipe out the Jewish people so that God cannot fulfill His purposes and program with them.
Revelation chapters 12-13 tell us that the ultimate antisemite will be the Antichrist. He’s going to persecute the Jewish people in the end times to a degree with which they have never been persecuted before.
The Antichrist will initially act like a friend of Israel and make a peace agreement with them. We can see that on the horizon as the world desires peace in the Middle East, unlike any other time in history. The Antichrist will ultimately betray them and become their greatest persecutor.
What we see today is also a preview of Zechariah 12:2-3, which states, “Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.”
As the world turns against the Jewish people, you and I need to love them, support them, and pray for them.
100-Year Prayer Meeting For The Jewish People
Most of you have heard of Corrie Ten Boom, who hid Jews during World War Two, resulting in her family being taken captive and the death of her sister and father.
The previous generation Ten Boom family started a weekly prayer meeting for the Jewish people in 1844. After a moving worship service in a Dutch Reformed Church, a man named William Ten Boom felt the need to pray for the Jewish people. People would stop by, and they would have a weekly meeting where they would pray Psalm 122:6 for the peace of Jerusalem.
These meetings took place every week for 100 years, until February 28th, 1944. The Ten Booms were gathered together for their weekly prayer meeting for the Jewish people when Nazi soldiers came to the house and took them away for helping local Jews and hiding them in a secret room.
That is the least that you and I can do in the times we find ourselves in is to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, for the Jewish people, for God to bless them, and for God to help them.
What we’re seeing happening right now is unlike anything that we’ve seen since the time of the Holocaust.
Many pieces and players are prophetically moving into place today. You and I should be living on the tip of expectancy for the coming of Jesus Christ. Make sure you are ready.
When I began to read and see the video feed of Hamas atrocities against Jews and Westerners caught in the indiscriminate terrorist attacks in Israel, the same rage began to creep up that I felt when Islamic terrorists hijacked passenger airlines (whether by Intel design or neglect is irrelevant – Islam teaches hate toward all things non-Islamic and Muslims were found more than willing to kill the infidel on a suicide mission) to murder people on U.S. soil.
The 9/11 rage was roughly 22-years ago. That rage would have no problem turning Afghanistan and the epicenter of Islam (Mecca-Medina area) into a nuked sea of glass. And now as I type this, I have read the death toll (aside from the wounded, maimed and raped) of Muslim Hamas terrorism has reached 1300.
AND AGAIN I had enough rage against this Antisemitism – this Anti-Westernism – this Anti-Christianity – to concur these Muslim Pseudo-Palestinians no longer should be allowed to demonstrate their hate by exacting their murderous ways.
AND THEN as the initial rage subsided, I as a Christian, began to experience a What-Would-Jesus-Do inward witness. We Believers (no matter our differences in creeds and Biblical interpretations) ALL KNOW Jesus would not choose to eradicate a wicked population without at least a last-breath opportunity to offer repentance and Redemption.
Now it is my opinion that for all dedicated Muslims, for most their only shot at Redemption will be the last-breath call on Jesus as the Redemptive Risen Lord and Savior. Why? These people are brainwashed from cradle to grave Jesus IS NOT the Incarnate Son of God and He was NOT Crucified and He did NOT Arise from death-to-life in a Glorified body to sit at the Right Hand of the Father. To believe such things in the Muslim world can get you killed if you proclaim it out loud. And the same Quran, Hadith and Sira (Islamic revered writings) that blaspheme the centrality of Christianity, tell the worshippers of the demon-god Allah as relayed by the (murdering-pillaging-enslaving) perfect Muhammad, that Jews are the descendant of apes and pigs and hence are worthy of death for not submitting to Allah.
As such I cannot call Israel guilty of war crimes for cutting off utilities, food and water to a people how believe they will go to a Muslim heaven for killing a Jew.
And yet to slaughter the Pseudo-Palestinians for their own genocidal war crimes would make Israel no better than the lunatic Muslim Pseudo-Palestinians.
And at this point I need to point out Israel currently suffers the same ideological Leftist-Conservative political divide that now ails America. In my opinion this is of worse consequence for Israel than it is for America. The reason is Israel’s existence from a Biblical standpoint is based on the Almighty’s Covenant with Abraham. The danger for Leftists vying for power in Israel is that history shows when Jews no longer honor their Covenant with the Almighty, Jews are expelled from their Covenanted Promised Homeland. When Jews return to God and Covenant, history and the Bible shows repatriation to their Homeland.
Today’s Leftist Jews cling to their heritage while abandoning their Covenant. That does not cut it with the Almighty. And therein lay the existential danger for Israel.
Upfront, I do not have an inside track to this information. ERGO, whether it is Conspiracy or Conspiracy Theory, I cannot validate either way. NAMELY, many are saying Israel’s Intel Community (i.e. Mossad) allowed the Hamas terrorist to sneak into Israel to perpetrate heinous murder to give the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) an excuse to wipe out wicked Palestinians. WORSE, many are suggesting America’s CIA may have aided and abetted Mossad in this endeavor. The underlying reason being the failure of the Ukraine war to begin a Globalist WWIII, perhaps Israeli revenge might spark WWIII.
Now here’s what lends credence the Conspiracy Theory is a Conspiracy Fact (and I’m NOT saying it is): American Intel (not just the CIA, but most if not all the Intel Alphabets) has been promoting a Globalist NWO for decades contrary to the U.S. Constitution, contrary to American Heritage and definitely contrary to the benefit of WE-THE-PEOPLE. It is my guess Israel has the same Globalist-Leftist infection particularly among its Intel Community and government bureaucracies.
Another conjectural guess: If there was a Leftist Israeli Intel Conspiracy to allow Hamas infiltration, my suspicion is the clueless morons miscalculated on the scale of the genocidal rampage that was perpetrated and occurred that killed 1300 people so far.
Allow me to also add the events of the unleashing of the CCP virus (aka COVID – which in reality was probably only a little worse than Flu epidemics), the conspiring prevention of EFFECTIVE inexpensive drug and vitamin prophylactics which increased CCP virus deaths, Forced Medical Tyranny (Lockdowns, useless masks, etc.), Pushing and in Most Cases Mandating a dangerous experimental mRNA Jab (which has been proven INEFFECTIVE & UNSAFE), an Election Coup in 2020 and a corrupt 2022 Election, Climate Hoax, Globalist Great Reset/UN Agenda 2030 One World Government designs AND MORE – Has awakened many Americans to totally mistrust a tyrannical extra-constitutional government.
That being said, I have undergone the kind of transformation that IS NOT even close to Obama’s predictive Fundamental Transformation of America. RATHER I have transformed from a former Neocon-like promote American Interests and American Institutions on an international basis thinking that would secure a better/safer America to EMBRACING Isolationism – the one-time historical National Policy of America. As in NO FOREIGN ENTANGLEMENTS!
That means, even though I am a HUGE supporter of Israel and God’s Promised Land for the Jews, America should no be involved in sending anything other than know-how and humanitarian aid to Israel. One cannot trust powerful Leftist Globalists in the Israeli government any more than American Patriots can trust Dem-Marxists controlling the U.S. government. American taxes and American resources must be utilized to maximize the benefit of WE-THE-PEOPLE as intended from the heritage of our Founding Fathers.

*****************************
Blog Editor: BELOW are some Pro-Israel adding context that Hamas & Pseudo-Palestinians are Muslim Terrorist thugs, and it is doubtful there is an innocent non-Jew-Hating civilian among them.
Hijrah is the Arabic word migration. which is required before a jihad. History records many hijrahs before jihads. Now that the hijrah has spread Muslims across the world and Hamas has attacked Israel how has the hijrah effected the areas they moved to?
Keywords:
Israel, Israel vs. Hamas, hamas, war, hijrah, koran, Quran, Muhammad, islamic history, updates on the war, terrorism, Muslim Brotherhood.
I found a great 6:22-minute video reminiscent of the days I focused on Counterjihad thoughts more than anti-Globalist and anti-Medical Tyranny NWO thoughts. BUT thanks to crazy Muslim Jew-Hatred arising via Hamas terrorism, it is time to AGAIN look at two ideologies that are uniting for a common goal of destroy Western Christian Culture and Jewish Israel in what has been termed the Red-Green Alliance (sometimes Axis). (Which translates as Red = Leftist/Marxist & Green = Islam). The Red-Green is a flawed alliance, for if their common goal is ever achieved, then the Red and the Green will turn on each other. History records Red-goals and Green-goals are ALWAYS performed by exacting as much blood of their enemy as needed for an utter victory.
And so, the video is from EPOCH-TV and it from its CrossRoads programing posted on 10/10/23 (https://tinyurl.com/58njmnku). Essentially it is an interview between Joshua Philipp and Trevor Loudon.
The EPOCH-TV Description:
‘Israel has declared war on Hamas. The Biden administration is standing alongside Israel in what could become a drawn-out conflict. There are credible reports that Iran played a role in orchestrating the attacks on Israel, and that it’s possible even Russia could have played a hand. From the standpoint of history, this would all make sense. And to understand this we need to talk about the so-called Red-Green Alliance. Here to speak with us about this is Trevor Loudon, Epoch Times contributor and author of “The Enemies Within.”’

Below is an email I received from Robert Stearns and Eagles’ Wings which I could not locate a corresponding link to share.
Unthinkable horrors… acts of hate and terror against innocent Israeli civilians – men, women, children, the elderly, and even infants – have stunned the nation of Israel in the last several days. Unfortunately, the war is far from over and a ground invasion of Gaza could begin any day now…
With enemies trying to breach Israel’s borders on many sides, it is time NOW for all of us to awaken ourselves to what’s really going on.
With the death toll of over 1,300 people massacred, many of them were innocent Israeli civilians murdered in cold blood. Nearly 3,300 Israelis have been wounded and over 5,000 rockets have been launched at Israel in the last 6 days, with more than 150 Israeli hostages taken captive.
Who are some of the main enemies surrounding Israel, and how do we distinguish between the different groups? Here are some quick facts:
Hamas – Hamas is an acronym of the Arabic phrase Ḥarakah al-Muqāwamah al-ʾIslāmiyyah, meaning “Islamic Resistance Movement.” It is a terrorist organization with a long history of violence, including suicide bombings, rocket attacks, and other forms of armed resistance, against Israeli civilians and military targets. The group’s founding charter explicitly calls for the destruction of Israel and its replacement with an Islamic state, which further solidifying its stance as an anti-Israeli entity and an enemy of Israel.
Additionally, its tactics have resulted in numerous casualties, including innocent civilians, making it a significant security concern. Hamas is nothing short of a terrorist organization. The Hamas terrorists are at the forefront of causing the current unimaginable suffering in Israel and they must be stopped!

[Blog Editor: I’m actually uploading the Facebook video of the CNN presentation to my Bitchute Channel for sharing purposes.]
Hezbollah – Ḥizbu ‘llāh, lit. ‘Party of Allah’ or ‘Party of God’ is a Lebanese Shia Islamist political party and militant group, led since 1992 by its Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah. This is another terrorist group established in Lebanon in the 1980s with support from Iran. Hezbollah’s primary goal is to resist Israeli presence in the region and promote the interests of its Iranian backers. The group has a history of engaging in terrorism, including high-profile attacks, such as the 1983 bombings of the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut and the U.S. Embassy in the same city, which resulted in numerous casualties. Hezbollah continues to pose a threat to Israel. The presence of this heavily armed group remains a destabilizing factor in the region, contributing to security risks for Israel, especially as they have fired rockets into the north of Israel, and could open up another front in the war.
And even though it may weaken its strategic advantage against these enemies, Israel is STILL doing all it can to protect innocent Palestinians:
A reliable source in Israel has shared with us the extraordinary lengths that Israel is going to, to protect the people of Gaza.
IDF REACHING OUT TO CITIZENS OF GAZA – ScreenGrab Photo
We at Eagles’ Wings say that Israel has more than enough enemies… and we believe it is our mandate to be and recruit more allies for the State of Israel!
Will you be an ally?
In response to the urgent situation that has been unfolding over these days, Eagles’ Wings has launched on behalf of the global Christian community the “I Stand With Israel” emergency campaign, to raise $250,000 to strengthen Israel in this critical time. Join us today in bringing tangible support to the people of Israel in their urgent hour of need. No gift is too small to make an impact!
Our Abraham’s Bread Feeding Centers in Jerusalem and Tiberias are working around the clock to help meet the needs of the people that are increasing with every day that passes. Many are stuck in their homes, unable to get supplies as the war continues on.
Our centers have become gathering and distribution hubs for humanitarian aid to suffering communities throughout Israel. This is in addition to daily serving hundreds of Israelis from all different backgrounds who are in need, including young families, new immigrants from Ukraine, and elderly Holocaust survivors.
Eagles’ Wings is also supporting United Hatzalah, a community-based volunteer emergency medical services (EMS) organization committed to providing the fastest response to medical emergencies across Israel completely free of charge. This amazing organization is providing emergency services and medical supplies to all the victims of this horrific attack and to those who continue to need help throughout Israel.
As thousands of Israelis head to the frontlines, many communities are left in need of supplies to defend themselves. These communities include Sde Boaz in the hills above Bethlehem, which is bordered by hostile Arab villages. We are working with trusted friends in that community to provide practical equipment like flashlights, radios, and other security items so they can protect their community from further attack.
These and other emergency needs and initiatives are being helped by the “I Stand With Israel” emergency campaign.
Please keep the people of Israel in urgent prayer, including those brave Israeli men and women who are risking their lives to protect and defend their families, neighbors, and the State of Israel.
I want to thank all of you who have given already to bless and support Israel, and I want to encourage those of you who have not yet given to donate today towards helping these worthy and vital causes.
Now is a time when we must respond in prayer AND action. One practical way you can do this, in addition to giving a gift, is to download and share the image below on your social media, showing that you stand with Israel:
I STAND WITH ISRAEL PHOTO
Please continue to pray and stand with Israel, joining with people from around the world in this crucial moment.
Any gift you can give today will help efforts to support Israel including feeding those who are in great need, delivering life-saving medical supplies and emergency services, protecting communities of Israelis, and other vital initiatives in the midst of this war.
Your prayers and giving can make a tangible difference in the lives of those affected by this crisis. Your contribution, no matter the size, can go a long way in standing with Israel at this time.
I urge you to continue to follow me on social media (see links below) as I give updates on this unfolding situation in the days to come.
Together, let us remain vigilant as Watchmen on the Wall, strengthening the people of Israel in this critical time.
Hamas attacks Israel, and then I begin to read the amazing typically anti-Globalist sources infiltrated by Jew-Haters, come out and blame Israel and support the Arabs who call themselves Palestinians.
This is what I know from extensive study of modern Jewish and Arab history merely from the top of my memory. Jews began to immigrate to the area now known as modern Israel that was under management of the then Muslim Ottoman Empire (modern Turkey today is remnant of that old empire).
Why did European Jews begin to immigrate to the area controlled by Ottoman-Turkey? A combination of circumstances created by an emerging Zionist Movement to return to the Promised Land given by God AND rabid European Antisemitism that brutalized Jews of lesser financial means.
To be upfront, early Zionist leaders were more Left-Wing than Biblical in their mindset. Many of the European Zionist-supporting Jews desired to keep their Jewish identity while also adapting Western Cultural benefits. The movement gained a large impetus from the French Dreyfus Affair. Here’s a paragraph summary (you should read the whole page) from Holocaust Encyclopedia:
‘Alfred Dreyfus (1859-1935) was a French Jewish military officer who was wrongfully tried and convicted of treason against France in 1894. The trial and ensuing events are referred to as the “Dreyfus Affair.”’
As I wrote, you should read the entire post for detail of conviction for treason more for being Jewish than any actual proof of treason. Her’s a summary of Dreyfus’ final exoneration which took quite some time and the experience of jail time on Devil’s Island:
“Dreyfus was not officially exonerated until July 12, 1906, by a military commission. He was readmitted into the army with a promotion to the rank of Major. A week later, he was made a knight of the Legion of Honour. Despite the toll which the years of imprisonment on Devil’s Island had taken on his health, he returned to serve in the French army in World War I and was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel at the end of the war.
Dreyfus died in Paris on July 12, 1935, at the age of 75.”
Enter prime-mover of Zionism Theodore Herzl. History appears to be in current dispute on how much the Dreyfus Affair affected Herzl. I found what I believe to be a great synopsis from the website my Jewish Learning:
“As a young man, Herzl believed Jews should seek to assimilate into European culture. According to several of his biographers, Herzl had an ambivalent relationship to his Jewish identity, both proud and ashamed, and sought to shed his distinctly Jewish traits and meld into the wider culture. But over time he came to lose faith in that approach. The conventional view has it that Herzl was deeply influenced by the trial of Alfred Dreyfus, a French-Jewish army captain falsely accused of treason in 1894. The case, which has come to be seen as a textbook example of enduring European hostility toward Jews, unfolded when Herzl was the Paris correspondent for the Viennese Neue Freie Presse. However, later scholars have suggestedthat Herzl’s transformation occurred earlier and that he played up the impact of the Dreyfus affair on his thinking only to win support for his political goals.
Either way, Herzl eventually came to believe in the futility of Jewish assimilation and efforts to combat anti-Semitism, promoting instead the idea that Jews should remove themselves from Europe and establish their own independent polity so as to secure their national rights. In Der Judenstaat, he proposed an independent state as the solution to the so-called “Jewish question” and laid out a detailed plan for its establishment. …” READ IT ALL
Herzl lived from 1860 to 1904. He never witnessed the complete exoneration of Dreyfus and neither did live long enough to see the restoration of the Jewish Homeland. Keep in mind Herzl became the typical of the Left-oriented European Jew weary of experiencing Antisemitism who did immigrate to a Palestine-area (part of a Syrian province-like administration) administered by Ottoman-Turkey. Contrary to claims of historical revisionists, Ottoman land mismanagement led to a relatively empty rural Palestine area with cities such as Jerusalem actually having more Jews than Muslims. European Jewish immigration brought Western innovation and the need for more employment. That is when Arabs began to immigrate to the area to work. The descendants of today’s so-called Palestinians were these Arab immigrants. It is a LIE of a long-time Palestinian existence in the Jewish Homeland.
Actual look of Ottoman-ruled Palestine area that included long-term Jews and European Jewish immigrants:
AND NOW the reason I’m a Christian Zionist – that term Antisemites, a good number of Jews (BOTH Covenant-keeping and Covenant-breaking Jews) and probably an unfortunate amount of Christians:
Genesis 28: 10-15; Numbers 34: 1-12 NKJV [just a small of God’s Word of His Promise to the descendants of Abraham through line proceeding through Isaac and Jacob (renamed Israel by the ALMIGHTY]:
Genesis 28:10-15
28 10 Now Jacob went out from Beersheba and went toward Haran. 11 So he came to a certain place and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. And he took one of the stones of that place and put it at his head, and he lay down in that place to sleep. 12 Then he dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and its top reached to heaven; and there the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.
13 And behold, the Lord stood above it and said: “I am the Lord God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie I will give to you and your descendants. 14 Also your descendants shall be as the dust of the earth; you shall spread abroad to the west and the east, to the north and the south; and in you and in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed. 15 Behold, I am with you and will keep[a] you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you.” — Read full chapter
34 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Command the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘When you come into the land of Canaan, this is the land that shall fall to you as an inheritance—the land of Canaan to its boundaries. 3 Your southern border shall be from the Wilderness of Zin along the border of Edom; then your southern border shall extend eastward to the end of the Salt Sea; 4 your border shall turn from the southern side of the Ascent of Akrabbim, continue to Zin, and be on the south of Kadesh Barnea; then it shall go on to Hazar Addar, and continue to Azmon; 5 the border shall turn from Azmon to the Brook of Egypt, and it shall end at the Sea.
6 ‘As for the western border, you shall have the Great Sea for a border; this shall be your western border.
7 ‘And this shall be your northern border: From the Great Sea you shall mark out your border line to Mount Hor; 8 from Mount Hor you shall mark out your border to the entrance of Hamath; then the direction of the border shall be toward Zedad; 9 the border shall proceed to Ziphron, and it shall end at Hazar Enan. This shall be your northern border.
10 ‘You shall mark out your eastern border from Hazar Enan to Shepham; 11 the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain; the border shall go down and reach to the eastern [a]side of the Sea of Chinnereth; 12 the border shall go down along the Jordan, and it shall end at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land with its surrounding boundaries.’ ” —Read full chapter
YUP, those Arabs that call themselves Palestinians (from a Latinized version of Philistine – enemies of Jews until King David vanquished them – so-called by Romans trying to villainize rebellious Jews) are mere Jew-hating squatters unworthy of the Land Promised to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
For me giving excuses to these vile human beings calling themselves Palestinians is REPRENSIBLE! I’ve read the – boohoo – how innocent Palestinian civilians should not pay the price for their leaders killing, maiming, raping and kidnapping Jewish civilians.
The Palestinians that are Muslim are not only brainwashed by their revered writings (Quran, Hadith & Sira) to hate Jews; Palestinian children from the cradle to the grave are taught to give their lives in the name of the demon-god Allah to kill Jews.
So here’s the thing. Left-Wing Jews – as Covenant-breakers – have given Antisemites plenty of fuel to be jew-haters. Realize that many Left-Wing Jews are very supportive of Globalist and Dem-Marxist ideologies and agendas yet cling to their Jewish heritage even though Leftist designs are diametrically contradictory to God’s Covenant with Abraham (Genesis 12: 1-3; 13: 14-17; 15: 1-21; 17: 1-15, 19-22 NKJV) and the Blessings and Curses Covenant delivered by God Almighty to the Law-Giver Moses (Deuteronomy Chapter 28 – NKJV).
Yet the Apostle Paul inspired by the Holy Spirit (Hence God’s Word) tells Believers in the Risen Savior to NOT disdain Jews because they are the people of Promise from whom Jesus the Messiah came and will Return to Restore the Kingdom of God on Earth. (Take a Look at Romans 1: 16; 2: 1-11; Galatians 3: 10-29; Ephesians 2: 11-22 NKJV) A careful-thoughtful reading Paul’s inspired Word of God should be noted the Gentile Believers DO NOT replace the Chosen People of the First Covenant but rather are engrafted to JOIN as fellow heirs in Christ Jesus.
Sadly, the People of the Covenant may not figure out that Christ the Redeemer is their Messiah until His Second Coming when many Jews will believe under a kind of weak Thomas Faith of seeing is believing. NONETHELESS, the Muslim world who revere Jesus as a prophet (their revered writings call Jesus by the name “Isa”, BUT REFUSE to believe Jesus is the Son of God and REFUSE Jesus died on the Cross and was Resurrected three days later) will have an even more difficult realization of Redemption because of their brainwashing revered writings. Hatred of all things non-Islamic are actually encoded in their revered writings – BUT that’s another subject.
I’m going to show you how vile these people beginning with short video of a Jewish father’s anguish over his kidnapped daughter because HE KNOWS her outcome will not be sugar and spice and everything nice THEN cross post from there.
Thank you to those who have stepped up! I need Readers willing to chip in $5 – $10 – $25 – $50 – $100. PLEASE YOUR generosity is appreciated. PLEASE GIVE to Help me be a voice for Liberty:
There have been plenty of terrorist attacks on Israel. A dozen or so conventional wars of various magnitude have been waged against the Jewish state. And more often there have been mixtures of both.
Yet never have hundreds of gangs of black-clad murderers carefully planned to swarm Israel, with an agenda to pull random Jews out of their homes and off the street, murder them, and toss their bodies in the street.
In fact, the closest parallel to the sort of methods Hamas is now embracing is something close to the Rwanda 1994 mass killing, when swarms of Hutu militia killers launched a preplanned murder spree against thousands of Tutsi civilians.
Note one common theme of these horrific videos of the murdering of young women: the bloodthirst of the Gaza crowd. There appears a natural desire of everyday Gazans to video the mutilations, an embrace of the spitting on the doomed, a frenzied effort to mutilate the dead—and the absence of a single Gazan objecting to the group murder of a civilian.
Hamas did not act out of the ordinary, but in sync with its people. In truth, there is something so terribly wrong in Gaza that the United States should keep as far away as it can from such barbarity—and hope that it too feels the same about America and keeps to itself.
So again why did Hamas mount such a long-planned and multifaceted assault on Israeli towns, public buildings, soldiers, and civilians?
The invasion was not so much a surprise attack, in the conventional Pearl Harbor sense, as a carefully calibrated land, sea, and ground effort at mass killing and hostage taking. It was designed to execute noncombatants, grab Jews for bargaining leverage, and to shock Israelis through their pre-civilizational desecration of the bodies of the dead.
It targeted first a youth concert near the border, on the theory the cowardly killers could gain maximum media traction and Arab solidarity by sensationally butchering and kidnapping helpless adolescents. Will the murderers in the weeks ahead transfer their killing zeal to attacks on the IDF? They will soon have their long desired and ample opportunity to showcase to the world their bravado as they face real soldiers and not unarmed elderly and youth.
Apparently, the Palestinians in their now ISIS role also thought their descent into even greater barbarity, rarely witnessed in even the most savage parts of the world, would shock Israelis into assuming some sort of collective fetal position, with hands over their ears screaming, “make all these demons just go away.”
If so, Hamas sorely miscalculated.
The sheer horror of their methods, and the cowardice shown by focusing on teen-aged girls and children rather than the IDF, will have the exact opposite effect, both in Israel and worldwide.
Israel now knows there is no living with a precivilizational Hamas. It must destroy it, permanently block off Gaza from itself, and adopt a strategy of chronic disproportionate response from now on out.
In such a change of strategy, Israel will have the backing of most of the civilized world and its own people, since there is no other choice once Hamas has adopted its campaign of death. We will likely see things in the next month that no one has anticipated, and yet the Israeli response will be in the eyes of most of the world long overdue.
In other words, few will pay any more attention to the Squads of the world, or the radical Jew-haters of the Western Left, or the Democratic-Socialists of America who cheered on the killing. They are now revealed on the side of death for death’s sake and cannot be reasoned with.
We are not yet 80 years out from the Holocaust. Yet here again we witness black-clad cadres of special killer units trying to round up Jews and execute them on the spot. There is one strange difference though between the current Hamas SS cadres and their spiritual forefathers in Nazi Germany.
Between 1941-45 America fought to destroy the SS and its hired local death squads. But in 2023, the Biden administration has restored hundreds of millions of dollars in aid to the Palestinian Authority and to Gaza under Hamas, despite the commitments of both to the destruction of Israel and the mass killing of Jews—and regardless of the warnings of its own State Department.
That too will change, as there will soon be zero American support for giving one more cent to any Palestinian “organization.”
Why the attacks now? Other than the usual reasons the Palestinians slaughter Jews—envy, the easy preference to destroy others than to create a successful modern state of their own, ethnic and religious hatred—the timing and methods of this particular killing spread were predicated on some particular catalysts.
Palestinians wanted to stop any rumored rapprochement between the Gulf monarchies—their traditional purse strings—and Israel, by forcing the issue of Arab solidarity in times of “war,” especially through waging a gruesome attack aimed at civilians and encompassing executions and hostage taking. They wished to force, for example, the Saudis to endorse their mutilation of corpses or else be to seen as sell-outs to the “Jews.”
Iran is the likely driving force in prompting the war. Its greatest fear is a Sunni Arab-Israel deal that would finally transcend the anti-Semitic and ethnic hatred that now resides most prominently in Palestine and Iran.
In addition, Arab forces only achieve success against Israel in surprise assaults during an Israel holiday. So the current attack was timed 50-years after the October 6, 1973 beginning of the Yom Kippur War. They struck during Simchat Torah, coming at the end of a weeklong Jewish celebration of Sukkot. And yet despite the iconic date, Hamas caught both the sophisticated intelligence networks of Israel, the United States, and the West in general completely unaware.
Did Hamas think Hezbollah and Iran would join in? Will they? If one believes their rhetoric they will; if one believes that they do not wish to experience what will likely follow in Gaza, they will not.
For the time being, after all, there are now zero restraints on Israel for the first occasion perhaps in its history. Few other than the international relations major AOC or a bigot in the American State Department will call for proportionality, an immediate ceasefire, or an Israeli stand down.
Hamas may also have reckoned that recent Israeli turmoil and mass street protests over proposed reforms of the Israeli Supreme Court had led to permanent internal divisions and thus a climate of domestic distraction if not an erosion of deterrence.
True, there was something eerie about the Israeli left’s opposition that extended to the politicization of IDF recruits. This propensity to commit collective civilizational suicide is now toxic in Western society, from Sweden to America. But in a frontline state like Israel it could prove fatal–as Hamas apparently also reasoned.
Let us also be candid, the Biden administration has contributed to the notion that Hamas was a legitimate Middle-East player. It fueled the perception that the U.S. was backing away from its traditional support for Israel—to the delight of Hamas—based on inexplicable policies.
Remember there is an iron law in the Middle East: anytime the U.S. distances itself from Israel, and gravitates to Iran, its violent enemies see that as a de facto greenlight to ratchet up their aggression. It is now a tenet of the base of the new woke Democratic Party, whether on campuses, among its Squad, in the media, or as championed by its identify politics caucuses, that Israel is an illegitimate state, while radical Palestinians are freedom fighters.
Do we remember that in February the ridiculous Secretary of State Blinken bragged that not only had the Biden administration resumed massive aid to the corrupt PLA, canceled by Trump, but also cumulatively had transferred $1 billion—even as Palestinian authorities and Abbas bragged that they would continue to pay bounties to the families of “martyrs” (i.e., those killed while conducting terrorists attacks against Israel)?
All such funds are fungible. So the more Biden’s people brag that the money goes to humanitarian purposes or has not yet arrived in Iranian accounts, the more these terrorist entities preemptively free up cash to mobilize for war.
So millions of American dollars went into Gaza, run by Hamas—despite the Biden administration’s efforts to keep mostly quiet the resumption of such inexplicable support.
In this regard, note the shameful State-Department (“U.S. Office of Palestinian Affairs”) website news release that was posted instantly after attack (since mysteriously taken down). It had ended with this quite embarrassing, morally equivalent admonition:
“We urged all sides to refrain from violence and retaliatory attacks. Terror and violence solve nothing.” “All sides?” “Refrain from retaliatory attacks?”
So Israel is to be the moral equivalent of terrorists executing civilians and brutalizing their corpses? And all this from the U.S. government? And what exactly is the “U.S. Office of Palestinian Affairs,” a megaphone for “normalizing” Hamas?
The IDF then is not to retaliate against these killers?
Does the Biden administration now also call upon Ukraine, “to refrain from violence and retaliatory attacks?” Does it believe that Ukraine’s “violence” in response to Putin’s “terror” will “solve nothing?”
Remember also the Biden administration had recently released some $6 billion to Iran through a prison swap deal that saw South Korea had over embargoed Iranian money to Qatar—despite Tehran’s increased anti-Israeli rhetoric and its loud brag about the escalation.
In fungible fashion and in anticipation of the arrival of this cash windfall, Iran no doubt accelerated its shipments of arms to Gaza. We should assume Iranian money for rockets (Hamas claims they have launched 5,000, and have received 100,000 of them via the Damascus airport) and weapons in general for Hamas were supplied by Iran, a terrorist state that the Biden administration apparently sees as a strategic partner.
Almost immediately, after his inauguration an eager Biden mobilized to resume the bankrupt Iran deal. In unhinged fashion, he appointed the anti-Israeli bigot, pro-Iranian zealot journalist Robert Malley as America’s chief Iranian negotiator. Remember, Malley was the special ISIS advisor of Barack Obama (who kept mum during the 2009 mass uprising against the Iranian theocracy), when ISIS overran Iraq.
Our envoy Malley apparently advertises himself, to quote his Wikipedia bio, as “an expert on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and has written extensively on this subject advocating rapprochement with Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood.”
We are now witnessing the reification of our Iranian envoy’s idea of “rapprochement” in the streets of Israel.
Note that Malley is now under FBI investigation for security breaches, involving disclosing classified U.S. documents. He also is under further scrutiny for allegedly helping pro-Iranian activists and propagandists land influential billets inside the U.S. government.
Imagine that: Iran now cheers on mass death in Israel while its agents and provocateurs burrow into the U.S. government (which might explain the Biden State Department’s immediate call to cease Israeli retaliation).
The result of this madness is that there was a general Hamas and Iranian perception that the Biden administration had resumed the discredited Obama insanity of empowering Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas. This discredited agenda aimed to “balance” the power of Israel and the moderate Arab Gulf governments to achieve “creative tension,” and was certainly exacerbated by Biden’s loathing of the government of Benjamín Netanyahu.
Note as well that the Biden administration has insidiously siphoned off key weapons and munitions from emergency stockpiles inside Israel apparently to transfer them to Ukraine. The so-called “War Reserve Ammunition—Israel” is reportedly all but depleted of just the sorts of weapons and shells that will be likely needed in the present crisis.
Who knows, we should soon expect that some of the multibillion-dollar arsenal abandoned to the Taliban—who have now voiced a willingness to help Gaza in the killing of Jews—will end up with Hamas. So we deplete strategic arsenals in Israel, but leave them to the Taliban.
In this regard is there a Carteresque pattern here?
Upon the ascension of Biden and his woke strategic agendas, we witnessed the following chain of events: 1) the 2021 complete humiliation of the U.S. miliary in Kabul in its greatest defeat in 50 years; 2) followed by Vladimir Putin’s 2022 opportunistic invasion of Ukraine; 3) followed by China’s new belligerence and escalating threats to Taiwan; 4) followed by Turkey’s new de facto alliance with Russia and recent drone encounter with the U.S. air force in Syria; 5) followed by the Hamas/Iranian inspired attack on Israel—6) with more to come unfortunately.
Will Biden finally get the message from the attacks on the Ukraine and Israeli borders, that borders matter? We too are being invaded, with the encouragement of the Mexican government and to the advantage of the cartels. Biden should carefully digest the ranting of President Obrador who seems to feel he has veto power over the White House, as he demands our own borders remain open to his citizens for whom he cannot provide, while he seeks to influence U.S. elections.
In a sane world, the Biden administration would immediately cancel all talks with Iran, renew sanctions, and stop any cash transferences. (Why were the Obama and Biden administrations so fond of sending so much money to theocratic Iran)? It would stop all aid to the West Bank and Gaza. It would put a travel ban on anyone from Iran or the West Bank and Gaza and pull visas of any currently from Palestine in the U.S. It would immediately ramp up defense spending, especially on missile defense, dismantle the woke commissariat in the Pentagon, and prepare for the unthinkable and existential abroad.
And there is likely zero chance that the handlers of Joe Biden will do any of that.
Following Hamas’ terror massacre on Israel Saturday morning, Abbas’ Fatah Movement has urged Palestinians in the West Bank and Jerusalem to join in the terror against Israel, as Palestinian Media Watch documented yesterday.
The “successful” terror attack, in which Hamas terrorists have murdered between 800 and 1000 Israelis – mostly civilians – wounded over 2,500, and taken approximately 150 hostages into the Gaza Strip, is seen by the Palestinians as a great “victory.” Official PA TV broadcast a Fatah member mocking Israel that its allegedly “undefeatable army is weaker than cobwebs”:
PMW Screengrab of Official PA TV Videos
[Blog Editor: Here is the post associated with the above Screengrab:]
Fatah Tubas branch member Ghassan Daraghmeh: “Long live our Palestinian people, since yesterday [we are] rising up and there is a state of great joy… We say to the Zionist enemy that you and your army that was called ‘an undefeatable army’: Here, it has been proven that it is weaker than cobwebs, and that the concept of deterrence and of a pre-emptive strike against the PA and the Palestinian resistance [has failed]. Yesterday the fundamental message of the Palestinian resistance was that we are capable, we remain, and we are continuing.”
The PA and Fatah top have legitimized the slaughter and capture of innocent Israelis as “self defense” and Fatah has called for “escalation” of the terror.
Hamas war on Israel October 2023 – At least 800 Israelis were murdered and over 2,500 wounded, in addition to approximately 150 Israelis who were abducted into the Gaza Strip, when hundreds of Hamas terrorists broke through Israel’s security fence at the Gaza Strip border and launched a surprise attack, taking control of several Israeli towns on the Jewish holiday of Shemini Atzeret (Simchat Torah), which fell on the Sabbath, Oct. 7, 2023. Hamas terrorists also fired at least 3,000 rockets at Israeli population centers. In response, Israel launched Operation Iron Swords to counter the Hamas terror threat.
[Blog Editor: HERE ARE THREE VIDEOS I uploaded to my Bitchute Channel which are only the tip of the iceberg of how heinous Muslim Hamas and the pseudo-Palestinians are.]
Shani Louk was originally mis identified as an abducted Israeli woman probably because was taken by Hamas thugs at an Israeli youth festival. She was actually from Germany (Yahoo News – https://tinyurl.com/mu874ecw). This video was acquired from a X/Twitter JIX5A post: https://tinyurl.com/etjs3ktb
Although JIX5A mistakenly identifies Louk as an Israeli woman, the description is otherwise spot on:
“Barbaric Palestinians Extremists can be seen parading around the body of a young Israeli woman.
These are the people the Western world and its leaders want Israel to make peace with.
The United Nations is a farce! We have liberals trying to tell us that they came to India in peace. No, they didn’t, same happened in India! Hindu Women suffered such unspeakable brutality.
This video was acquired from a 10/7/23 post from the NY Post (https://tinyurl.com/54uwnhsj). It comes with a graphic warning but mercifully the Post obscures the most detestable views with blurring. The Post either shows other Hamas atrocity videos or links to where they were from all along stipulating they could not verify authenticity which in my opinion is a bit lame.
This edited video is from thequint.com posted on 10/9/23 (https://tinyurl.com/4tjdkknh).

I was sad to discover Pat Robertson passed on June 8. I subscribe to the CBN email list and as such ran into to a tribute/legacy video for the man of God. Below is that video and description I uploaded to my Bitchute Channel.

Pat Robertson has moved on to live with Jesus (3/16/1930 – 6/8/2023). He was 93 at his passing on June 8.
Personally after becoming a Born Again Christian in 1978, I became a Robertson and 700 Club follower. So much so after the Reagan years, I became a Robertson Primary voter in his quest for the GOP nomination to run for President in 1988. Robertson eventually lost to then VP George H.W. Bush (who I did not trust but voted for out of Reagan loyalty), but established the Christian Coalition legacy (https://tinyurl.com/3bfxner8).
“CBN marks the end of an era as founder Pat Robertson passes into eternity at the age of 93. Hear from family members, government and ministry leaders about his love for the Holy Land and how his life impacted millions around the world.”
The 28-minute video has CBN ads. It’s worth wading through the ads to watch the legacy.
A quote from Ari Bussel wondering about indigenous born Arab Christians in the Middle East and Israel:
If given a choice to live in the Jewish State or under Arab/Palestinian/Iranian/Muslim rule, they will never choose the latter. And yet, they criticize and malign Israel. I have never understood why so very few of them find the courage or exhibit the characteristics they preach to stand up and defend Israel; unless they think that they have a future at all if Israel will cease to exist.
In this post submitted by Ari is lengthy valid response to an email Ari received pointing to an article about Jews attacking Christians in Israel and a Black-American Bishop who immigrated to Israel acting as if Jewish attack are the norm rather than the exception but with zero mention of Muslims persecuting Christians causing a depopulation in Judea-Samaria.
And another matter: Jews were persecuted 2,000 years before the birth of Jesus (raised as a Jew) and SADLY Jews have been persecuted by Christians (and other groups) for another 2,000-plus years. Is there any wonder there is Jewish mistrust of Christian motives?
Then there is the sad phenomenon that the millennia of Christians that themselves have survived Muslim persecuting practices have lived under the brainwashing tactics under Dhimmitude one of submitting to Quranic induced Jew-hatred.
Those are my thoughts, but Ari Bussel is much more erudite than I in dispelling essentially a Christian camp leaning into Antisemitism.

[Blog Editor: After reading the post associated with the link, it is my humble opinion the Bishop is criticizing the persecution of ALL Christians in Israel but is particularly disturbed by Jewish animus toward Israeli Christians. On a personal level when the Bishop talks of Christian persecution he makes zero reference to the Muslim persecution of Christians particularly in the Judea-Samaria (rudely labeled West Bank or Palestinian Authority controlled land) where huge numbers of Christians have been reduced by persecution via Muslims against Christians. Here is the link’s headline, opening and first paragraph and skip a few paragraphs where the Bishop decries the treatment of Black Americans not a part of the email:
EXCLUSIVE: Evangelical bishop says Israel must deal with attacks, discrimination against Christians coming from ‘radicalized’ Jewish groups
Bishop Plummer says “time for silence is over;” urges dialogue and stepped-up support from current Israeli government
Church of God in Christ Bishop of Israel Glenn Plummer and First Lady Ruth Pauline Plummer, Ph.D. at the Israeli president’s New Year’s reception, Dec. 29, 2021. (Photo: courtesy)
An Evangelical bishop backed a statement issued by the heads of traditional Christian churches in the Holy Land, saying that the time for remaining silent is over in the face of radicalized hatred and attacks on Christians and their holy places.
…
Plummer, spoke with ALL ISRAEL NEWS after attending a New Year’s reception hosted by Israeli President Isaac Herzog on Wednesday, where Herzog welcomed the leaders of several denominations in Israel – from Catholic and Coptic to Greek and Armenian Orthodox along with leaders of Evangelical ministries in the land.
The reception came a few weeks after these same denominational leaders issued a statement condemning racist acts against Christians in Israel, including “countless incidents of physical and verbal assaults against priests and other clergy, attacks on Christian churches, with holy sites regularly vandalized and desecrated, and ongoing intimidation of local Christians who simply seek to worship freely and go about their daily lives.”
We have reported on several such incidents, here and here.
…
“The White Evangelical leadership and organizations have tried to keep it quiet because they don’t want backlash against Israel – our mutual adversaries will take that and use it against Israel,” Plummer said. “But secondly, it’s also out of fear. It’s out of fear that if they take a public position, that these guys will show up at their door as well.”
But Plummer said that as “Bishop of Israel for the largest Black church in the world, we know what discrimination and racism feels like in America.”
In recent years, there is a phenomenon of developers coming to Beverly Hills and telling us – active and caring residents of decades – what is good for our City (they really mean what is good for them). Most regrettably, the two most notable examples that come to mind are of Jewish developers. About one’s behavior I wrote before Yom Kippur many years ago (he has boycotted me ever since); the other is a recent comer, and in a Rabbi-supervised dialogue between us, he was astonished when I described his behavior as Rosh Katan (small head, i.e., limiting one’s behavior to what is most narrowly excusable or the minimum required). If it were not for the respect to the Rabbi, I would have immediately been declared Public Enemy No. 1.
Similarly, an American Black Evangelical Leader moves to Israel with his wife during the Great Pandemic. On its face, anyone familiar with Israeli immigration requirements would find this fascinating. In an extremely short period of time, this person is being embraced by the Israeli political elite, which has been courting Christians for a long time now.
So why would anyone point out the fact the Evangelical leader is Black? Because he uses the color of the skin, or the Race Card, a most common phenomenon in the USA of President Obama and President Biden. The leader brings with him from the USA the current culture of accusations that “America is systematically racist” and that “all White males are racist” as well as floating into the air “White Supremacists” and “Domestic Terrorism” and other like buzz words that divide rather than unite the country.
He then applies it toward a new landscape, accusing his new host country of the very same evils. True or not, this does not matter. The objective is not to improve anything that might need improvement, to highlight real issues and work on real solutions; rather it is to sow discord and distrust. When catchy lies (half a sentence long to maximum a sentence long) are floated to the air, it is very difficult to disprove them. The bigger the lie, the easier it becomes an accepted truth.
I have dedicated the past quarter of a century, if not longer, to building bridges between Christians and Jews. It is a most tedious work, one stone at a time, brick after brick. We stand proud of the distance traversed thus far in Judeo-Christian relations. And this most formidable fort that was erected is attracting opposition, attempt after attempt to tear it down, much like what happened with the First and Second Temples.
To this very day Jews fast four times a year to remember the destruction that took place two millennia ago. We remember the past in order not to repeat it. Today, in a slightly different context, we face the very same division and forces that threaten our unity and very survival.
Let us stand united in our conviction, in our team experience and mutual respect and expel from within us those who want to weaken our defenses, to accuse us of wrongdoing where there is none and to spread confusion among us. Let us remain focused on what is important, on what God wants from us, and we will be able to separate truth from fiction, reality from lies, good intentions from evil ones.
The Newcomer to Israel may not have any insidious intentions. He may simply be bringing with him and echoing loudly a current-day American culture that has gone wild, in the wrong direction. This should not be welcomed in Israel, for we have enough enemies – internal and external – and we do not need to be distracted by more unjust, undeserving and untrue attacks.
A Reply to Your Query
The article cited below [Blog Editor: And quoted in brief form above] is not anti in any direct sense of the word to which we are accustomed; but it is dangerous nonetheless.
(1) Lies Told Often Enough
What I hear when I read this article is a huge choir repeating a chorus. It is heard in the background, like distant drums, and as it gets closer, the noise becomes frightening, overwhelming, most dangerous. In my mind’s eye I hear repeated accusations, drums beating: White Supremacists, Haters, Racists and Domestic Terrorists (characteristic of the US), Settlers, Occupation and Jesus at the Checkpoint (to give a taste of Israel). There is no terrorism, there are no acts of terror, just Israeli-soldiers, Nazi-like, restricting movement and life in general.
Equally alarming, I hear transposition of reality, blaming the Jews for what others are doing. How very typical to the Middle East!
I am beginning to feel deja vu: taking a reality, transposing it and floating the lie over and over and over again so that people are convinced it is the truth. Just to name a few examples: Mossad agents are the evildoers in any current prime-time TV series in the US while Muslims are the sexy, smart, good-doers. Mossad perpetrated the 9/11 Attacks. Islam is a peaceful religion and Jihad is a quest for peace. Israelis are the new Nazis. Israel wants to topple down or burn the Al Aqsa Mosque. And more appropriately to this discussion: Settlers uproot olive groves, Settlers steal the water of Palestinians, Settlers allow sewage to flow into nature (that clearly belongs to the Palestinian), Settlers burn Palestinian homes and murder their Palestinian neighbors and so forth. Soon to come: Settlers shoot at Palestinian cars and stub innocent 80-year-old ladies walking in the street or run cars into people standing at bus stops.
In Bethlehem, under Palestinian Authority rule (Israelis are not allowed), the Christian population dwindled down to less than 2%, and yet this article refers us to a previous statement about Israel, not about PA-ruled Bethlehem: the Christian population has decreased from 20% at its height to less than 2% now. In reality, though, the number of Christians in Israel continues to increase, but why let the facts confuse us?
(2) Attention Seekers
The actions described are reflective, in part, of an attention-seeking Bishop. He has just arrived, and he is already charging and leading a fight to reform Israel, to save the Evangelical Christians who live there (and maybe to save Israel from herself!).
I am immediately reminded of another self-proclaimed prominent Christian Leader.
Remember when Netanyahu lost after four election cycles within two years, and a new coalition government was formed (the current government under Bennett)?
One Christian leader who published dozens of books and has a museum and a communications center in Jerusalem went all out against Bennett and the new government. He was so self-absorbed in his momentary madness, that he threatened to unleash tens of millions of Christians from around the world AGAINST Israel, bringing into question not his sanity but the essence of his support. [Those who support Israel do so not only so long as their interests are well served. He who threatens to unleash powers against Israel better remember that it is a declaration of war against God Lord of Hosts Himself (which should come with a health warning).] Since then, Mike Evans calmed down and returned to his senses. Any contrition shown might have been more for public consumption.
Then a new Leader and his wife arrived to Israel, and in short time claimed a position of prominence. I wonder how this happened so quickly and so very easily, there is something unnatural about it. Perhaps I am a skeptic (I likewise treat Mike Evans’s claim of having tens of millions of followers with some respect and some doubt).
What I do know, though, is that this leader has utilized the color of his skin and his title (not to be confused with the more commonly-used title of Bishop in the Catholic Church), as well as God the Almighty Himself, something that is NOT in our hands and should never be done. If God wants to support someone, He knows how to do so. It is not by the person’s self-proclamations.
What is most alarming, is that this is not the first battle cry in so many months. Bishop Plummer was a guest speaker at the Christian Media Summit in Jerusalem, and there too he criticizes, something that might have gone unnoticed by many. After all, it is a new virus unrecognized by the Body Israel (like CoVid-19 which was unrecognized by the human body).
(3) Let’s Get the Facts Straight
In this article, let me first touch on a point of history: The President’s meeting and reception with Christian leaders (real, locally-established leaders – unlike the self-anointed, instant new-comers who were kindly invited to join as welcomed guests) has been going on since the formation of the Modern State of Israel.
In fact, the inclusion of Bishop Plummer evidences Israel’s constant quest for making an outreach and finding leaders of the other side (in this instance, Christians, for their holiest time of the year). Bishop Plummer mistakenly seems to think this tradition was created in his honor.
Israel always paid the utmost respect to other religions; much to its own detriment.
Next time you are in Jerusalem, you may want to visit the Jerusalem Residence of Yitzchak Ben Zvi, Israel’s 2nd president (1952 – 1963). At a time that Israel did not have means and was struggling to survive, he (and his wife) thought it would be most appropriate to be at a humble abode, a shack. There he hosted dignitaries from the entire world.
A family member of ours served at the President’s residence under Ben Zvi, and his son took us on a tour there in November 2019. Among the pix on the walls, there are pix of President Ben Zvi hosting the Christian leaders in Israel. There is nothing new under the sun, and such meetings/receptions were not for the sake of photo-op, rather real of intention, reflective of an attitude and a reality on the ground. Their mere existence evidence the importance given by Israel to cultivating a two-way relationship, at times of need and at time of joy.
So for a newcomer to teach us that the current president’s opening the residence for such a reception is a sign in the right direction simply shows that new-comer is under the mistaken illusion that life and reality commenced upon his most recent arrival, and thus that things revolve around him. Not so.
(4) Truth vs. Evil Fiction
If one is under the impression, after reading this article, that Christians are persecuted in Israel, or that it is commonplace for a Christian believer in Israel to be threatened or to be afraid, or for churches to be vandalized and desecrated, such are false and most dangerous accusations.
If something like that happens, and should file a police report. Then another. And another. This will create a track record, an audit trail, and it will not go unnoticed.
In Israel it would prompt individuals and non-profits to immediate action. It would give them pleasure and an occupation. It would provide a point about which to argue and fight. This is, before all, Israel!
But to generalize and claim that it is commonplace in Israel is a frightening misrepresentation of reality. There are so many places of non-Jewish worship, and they are all part of the tapestry that is Israel. They are protected under the law and in practice, but more so, they are the commonplace throughout Israel. That is exactly the reason that Bahai, Ahmadi, Druze, Armenian, Greek-Orthodox and so very many other minorities find Israel to be the only safe haven throughout the Middle East and the African continent.
So what is one to learn from this article? That Evangelical Christians are persecuted in Israel, disrespected, not allowed to practice freely, maybe crucified? Do those Evangelical Christians (and all other Christians) who chose to live in Israel even aware of the conditions described? Do they share the experiences?
Why would Christians who live in Israel for a very long time not utter a word when we meet each year? They have not been shy about anything, except what should be most important (life and safety)?
If the situation is so bad, how is it that everyone waited for Bishop Plummer to arrive to Israel to discover the horrible truth and lead the fight to change it? Is he the only one that can see, the only one that has the courage and power to act? Maybe a mashiach has finally arrived to the Holy Land? I am sorry if this sounds disrespectful, but I cannot reconcile what I have witnessed year after year after year for decades with what someone who has moved to Israel less than two years ago claims is a real pandemic. Either I am blind, deaf and dumb – I am not – or something is really wrong in the accusations brought forth. And thus, Pablo, I turn to your question about this article and what might be behind it.
(5) Israel’s Detractors
Dr. Nankin hosted at his home one of the leaders of the Coptic Church (there is a large community in Los Angeles) following unfavorable statements by the Coptic Pope regarding Israel some years ago. While I can understand why the Coptic Pope in Egypt may not have favorable things to say about Israel, as his fiduciary responsibility is first and foremost to his people who are persecuted, arrested, tortured and murdered and will be at even greater risk if he dares say anything positive about Israel, I cannot understand Christian Arabs in Israel.
Maybe Bishop Plummer only hears what those who speak with a forked tongue have to say?
Christian Arabs know that the only place they can worship freely and safely in the entire area called the greater Middle East and the African continent is the Jewish State of Israel.
The only place where Christians are safe in this entire region is under Jewish rule of law, practice and traditions.
Christian Arabs know that they will have to pay a Dhimmitude tax and live as second-class citizens anywhere else throughout the Muslim world. They fled from Bethlehem. They fled from Lebanon. They fled from Iran and Iraq. In fact, if the (Catholic) Pope stood by them, they would have fled Africa rather than die there. Apparently, they are not really welcome anywhere in the entire region, except in Israel. This is why their numbers in this only safe haven grow constantly.
If given a choice to live in the Jewish State or under Arab/Palestinian/Iranian/Muslim rule, they will never choose the latter. And yet, they criticize and malign Israel. I have never understood why so very few of them find the courage or exhibit the characteristics they preach to stand up and defend Israel; unless they think that they have a future at all if Israel will cease to exist.
Is it possible that after 74 years of “Suffering” after the “Great Catastrophe,” Christians in Israel finally have a messiah who has arrived on a white donkey to rescue them from bondage? Maybe, like the Hebrews in Egypt, they did not even understand their plight, and a new Moses has arrived to deliver them to freedom?
The story of Moses took place thousands of years ago, and Christians in Israel enjoy freedoms that can be found nowhere else. The only Messiah we are all waiting to reveal Himself is not a flesh and blood who has arrived with his First Lady to Israel during the Great Pandemic. To this point I can attest with my life.
(6) Addressing the Claims – Let’s examine the situation on the ground
Is it possible that there are those Jewish Israelis who are hesitant, cautious or even unwelcoming to Christians in Israel? Of course. There is a two millennium history of Jewish persecution, of blaming us for the Crucifixion, of blood libels directed at us and using Jews as scapegoats. There is a very noticeable effort of proselytizing Jews by Christians in Israel. This causes the sensitivity, suspicion and distrust to increase.
These are issues we work to address, one small step forward at a time, brick after brick.
When on Israel’s Independence Day, at the heart of Tel Aviv, people are accosted by attempts to lure them to leave their Jewish home and replace it with another, it causes concern. When Israelis are approached both directly and covertly in an attempt to convert them, the foundations of the bridge being built during the last twenty some years – this hyphen between Judeo and Christian – shake.
But the overwhelming feeling is that of coming together, not apart. We know our past. We understand the dangers of the present. And we raise our eyes to the future, all pre-told in our Bible. We are very sensitive to it all, and we take baby steps, one after the other. Today we are running together, long distances. We have become a team. Dependable, trustworthy, inseparable.
Even the most Orthodox Jewish religious leaders are opening to conversation, if not outright direct relations with our Christian brethren. It is a new day, a most magnificent day in the making, and the first rays of sun are most encouraging.
From the Prime Minister to the President of Israel, past and present, members of the Knesset, religious, business and other leaders, Israel joins in extending a hand to Christians in Israel and throughout the world. Christians realize that without their roots, the Old Testament, they cease to exist; without a certain Jewish Rabbi, they cannot exist. And thus we stand one entire, blessed body, roots to leaves, proud and most grateful.
If the situation is as Bishop Plummer describes, we will all go out to change it. But we have not been late arrivals to the scene. We have been in the trenches for two decades and longer, and we still know to differentiate between cow manure and the smell of citrus blossom. We will not allow false prophets with an agenda to cast an evil spell on us. Instead, we will continue fighting side-by-side with others, Jews and Christians together, arm in arm, one protecting the other, against all attacks. Our very survival is at stake, and our enemies know that the only way for them to prevail is to sow doubt and confusion. We have to make sure this does not succeed!
I haven’t heard from my online friend Ari Bussel for quite some time. Yesterday he sent a Christmas Eve greeting that includes an audio dialogue between Ari and Norma Zager which will give you a great idea on how those two interact their “Postcards from America – Postcards from Israel.”
On this Christmas Eve, 2021, a bucket of blessings – may the joy of the season engulf you to the point you will feel like a couple dancing and dancing until your breath is taken away like a couple who knows they are – from marriage to death – one; inseparable; a husband and wife may your head spin with energy, with clarity of vision and unshakable commonsense and with the knowledge that good things are yet to happen that God is Great (or as I always say, “excellent”) no matter what!
Back in 2008, at this time exactly, I ventured from Jerusalem to Bethlehem. Returning very late at night and sat down to write, by that time it was Christmas morning here in the USA and a friend, Pam, was in church reading my report (we will not address the “reading” in church – on the Jewish side we have the same issue of “talking” in the synagogue) and that was the greatest gift for me for years to come.
Ten years later I recounted part of that experience of an Israeli and American passports holder venturing into a town to a holy place where Jews are not allowed and are not welcomed where such a visit can be most dangerous to their lives and to the wellbeing of the State of Israel
You are invited to read “The Day I Discovered God:” [Blog Editor: Can be read below]
And now, three years later, the world is like nothing anyone had envisioned and we still do not see the light at the end of the tunnel (although we know with absolute certainty there is light and there is a way out!) I sat to write another Christmas message recounting my ongoing negotiations with none other than God our Lord Himself (some would call it “Chutzpah,” but then it is the Israeli blood in me, the stubbornness of every Jewish person since the times we were slaves in Egypt to present day and God is used to it already; He even likes his children being so very stiff necked at times!)
You are invited to read “A Christmas to Remember:” [Blog Editor: posted below “The Day I Discovered God.”]
And if you prefer, you are invited to listen to the latest episode of my colleague Norma Zager and my radio show – the Jewish Voice on Christian Radio – airing this weekend “It’s a Wonderful Christmas,” here:
“A Song of Ascents: Out of the depths I have called Thee, O, God. Lord, listen to my voice, let Your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.” (Psalms 130:1-2)
I discovered God on Christmas Eve.
I knew all along God exists, but I never had any direct dealing with God.
In Israel, at a time that a phone was connected to the wall, there was at most one phone line per household – after many years of waiting – and phone calls were charged by the minute or a fraction thereof, God’s presence in His City, Jerusalem, was often referred to as a “local call.”
People had direct dealings with God. A man, for instance, was very much in a rush on a busy errands day, but there was no parking space to be found.
He turns to God and says, “God, if You only make a parking space available for me now, I will observe the Sabbath and do all that You want me to do.”
Not a minute passes, and a parking space becomes available. The man turns to God and says, “God, no need anymore, I already found one myself!”
Since I am not a Jerusalemite, I did not have direct dealings with God. Until that faithful day-before-Christmas, when I was 42 year old.
Jewish people are not allowed in Palestinian-controlled territories. “Peaceful co-existence” for the Palestinian is a land void of Jews. If a Jew wanders into their midst, he likely will be murdered, as were two reservists who were lost, taken to a local police station, tormented
almost to death then thrown from the balcony to the celebrating, ecstatic mob that finished the task.
Israel’s so-called “peace partners” want the entire land of Israel, and they neither slumber nor sleep until the entire area is “clean of Jews.”
The prohibition against Jews-in-their-midst is most stern. If an owner of land or property were to sell it to a Jew, he has broken the law, a most despicable act punishable by death.
I happened to be in Israel on Christmas Eve when I was 42. I was determined to go to Bethlehem, the birthplace of Christ. It was not a pilgrimage for me, rather a childhood memory, when there were only single TV stations, and all in black and white. I remember a Christmas Tree, the sight of snow and the feeling of Christmas morning in Bethlehem.
Clearly, I could not miss the opportunity of being in Israel and not going to Bethlehem.
Alas, Israeli-Jews are prohibited from passing from Jerusalem to Bethlehem, lest they be murdered or kidnapped. Americans at that time were not very welcome either. But I was determined to see if my childhood memory had anything to do with reality. As a foreign correspondent in Israel, I decided that nothing bad can happen to me.
Thus, my first stop was to the Government Press Office, in charge of all foreign correspondents in Israel.
“Do you have your (American) Passport?” asked the high-ranking Government official. “Then you can go.”
With that blessing, I proceeded to a venture of a lifetime, Christmas Eve in Bethlehem.
Alas, it got close to midnight, and as the excitement wore off (after a delightful dinner, with some fellow Americans – we were the only
ones in the restaurant, as tourists that year stayed away from Palestinian-controlled areas), I decided to return.
I realized I was alone, other than some policemen/military with rifles in the middle of the street. That was danger, not safety for a foreigner, especially one who looks Israeli.
My previous attitude dissipated. I was no longer the confident “nothing-bad-will-happen-to-me” foreign correspondent. I look Middle Eastern, and not the Arab type. In fact, I looked completely out of place.
It is exactly for such a reason that Israelis are prohibited from crossing the border, lest something bad happen to them.
I was in a deserted neighborhood. Darkness all around, now not a person in sight. I could hear dogs barking and my heart was beating wildly.
Fear had not frozen me completely. I realized that if I were to walk along the Wall – the one extending 18 feet high, preventing the transfer of terrorists into Jerusalem where they exploded themselves in crowded places shouting “Allah U Akbar” – as long as I did not let it out of my sight, I would eventually arrive at a crossing.
It was exactly at that time that I found myself negotiating with God. “If I only return to Israel safe and sound,” and “if You only guide and protect me, Oh, God.”
My session of pleas apparently distracted me completely and even managed to calm my nerves. I was so absorbed in my own private redemption and salvation, that when an Israeli soldier appeared some hundred yards ahead of me, his rifle pointing directly at me, and ordered me to stop and raise my hands, I was elated. My own Christmas Jubilation.
I try not to involve God in helping me find a parking space or other such mundane things. But the flashing of all the most-horrible outcomes of my adventure to Bethlehem was traumatic enough to have shaken me so that I was reciting Psalms 121: “A Song of Ascents: I lift my eyes to the mountains, from where will my help come. My help is from God, who made heaven and earth. … God is your keeper, God is your shadow, upon your right hand. … God will keep you from all evil, He will safeguard your soul. … God will guard your going and coming, from this time and for ever.”
I have ventured outside of Jerusalem to Bethlehem, from light to darkness, from safety to peril. And I did it out of my own volition, as if testing God.
Bethlehem lost its holiness under Palestinian rule. The Christians were driven away. Luckily, Jerusalem remains standing, a beacon of light and safety, peace and security.
When I returned I was grateful; oh, so very grateful. It was as if I managed, just moments earlier, to escape from the gates of Hell, and here I was back at the Kingdom of Heaven, of God the Almighty Himself.
The years have passed, and although I knew before God existed, I discovered God and the sanctity of life on that Christmas Eve in Bethlehem.
The New Testament tells us in Matthew 2: “Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the King, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem saying, ‘Where is He that is born King of the Jews?’ for we have seen His star in the east and we have come to worship Him.
“When Herod the King had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. And they said unto him, ‘In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written by the Prophet: ‘And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Judea, art not the least among the princes of Judah: for out of thee shall come a Governor that shall rule my people Israel.’’” [KJV]
The reference is to the Prophet Micah (5:1 in the Old Testament). We note that Beth Lehem is the birthplace of King David (1st Samuel 16:1) and there he was anointed.
And so we arrive at the essence of the Christmas story. Anyone who believes in Jesus Christ and in the Bible realizes and knows that Jesus is an heir of King David and that He has arisen from within Judaism.
Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, a Governor, a King among the princes of Judah. Judah-Judea-Jewish, how interesting; how everlasting.
For anyone to reinvent the story nowadays and call Jesus a “Palestinian” is a travesty and sacrilegious. For anyone to claim Bethlehem has roots or any connection whatsoever with a made-up “Palestine” (a name from very many centuries later) is dangerous, and the intention bogus and misleading.
All that any Christian needs to do to clear the air is open the Bible and read. Most Christians live the Word of the Bible, but those who believe but need to pick up the Bible, remove a layer of dust and read, do so!
The Prophet Isaiah tells us (9:5): “For a child has been born to us, a son was given to us, and the position is upon His shoulder, and His name is wonder advisor, a hero god, the father of eternity, the minister of peace.” [alternative translation: “His name is Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.”]
Once, not long ago, there was a majority of Christians in the city that is the birthplace of Christ. Then Palestinian terrorists desecrated the Church of Nativity, using it as a compound to which they knew Israelis will not enter or harm, for it is a religious place. They persecuted the Christians – as is the common practice throughout
Arab lands in the Middle East and the African Continent – and drove them away.
Today there are less than a couple of percent Christians in Bethlehem. Not only is the area “clean of Jews,” it will soon be completely devoid of Christians as well. For our enemies try to destroy the Saturday and the Sunday people, and then they proceed to murder their own as well (e.g. Daesh; Muslim Brotherhood; Hamas; Hezbollah; Iran; …). Nothing is sacred to them, except Death, Satan and Hell.
Let us celebrate our God, for we are all His people, on Christmas Day and every day of the year.
Let us separate truth from fiction, reality and history from make-belief and distortion. Jesus was not a Palestinian. He was Jewish and born in Judea.
There cannot be “Settlements” in the area that for three thousand years was Judea and Samaria. Erase that, and Jews do not exist, nor are Samaritans (or Good Samaritans).
Our enemies tried to erase Jerusalem, but their curses turned into blessings. One cannot prevail when one sets eyes on destroying God or harming the Apple of His Eye.
Let us stand firm and protect our very essence, for a fight against Jerusalem, Jews and Christians is a fight against God the Almighty, Lord of Hosts.

A Christmas to Remember
By Ari Bussel
We are all familiar with the reality that the older we get, the quicker time passes. But this year, the second year of the Great Pandemic, has disappeared with astonishing speed, that it seems that God Himself has hastened it to move on, to soon be forgotten.
God and I have an ongoing discussion, already two years in the making. First, I prayed that the Pandemic that was just given a name would disappear into nonbeing in an instant, and that this Act of God will take place before the first night of Passover. It did not, and I did not give up. I wished it to go away by the end of Passover, for we do celebrate seven days.
I was very flexible – any day of the seven days of Passover would be acceptable; and as they passed and nothing happened, I put my faith on the very last day. God’s messenger refused to leave. So I continued praying with all my might. The fate of the entire world was on the balance. God has sent a messenger on a mission, and that messenger was not leaving until he got the job done. It may not be the culture on earth, but definitely the angels are being held accountable; dereliction of duty is not possible.
When the next Passover was upon us, after an entire year of isolation, I again repeated my request. But since I did so in jest, so as not to fall deeper into despair in case it was not answered again, God did not take my prayers seriously. When we give ourselves a way out, we do not fully mean what we request. Besides, God is under no obligation to heed to our requests. It is a very important lesson we need to remember always: Asking does not grant us an entitlement.
The situation around us became intense, frighteningly dangerous. Darkness has engulfed us and became thicker, impenetrable with each passing day. No, it was not the additional six hundred thousand who succumbed to the disease here in the USA alone (three times as
many as in the first year). No one said a word about that. It was a most evil darkness of another kind.
Those who had ever lived under Communism or Nazism, or in Iran, Gaza or Syria, may know what really frightens me. The grab of power; the Cancel Culture that pervaded the country; the loss of guiding principles that tip toward the greater good and the long term health and wellbeing of the country; the urge to punish the other who does not think like us and the joy such act provides; and the lingering effects of this disease on generations to come.
We heard calls to bring about “unity,” but that did not mean willingness to give in just a bit to achieve this goal. Rather, the message was: You must all stand obedient, like good soldiers, and do whatever we tell you. You must all think the way we tell you. Be warned, if you do not obey, if you dare think differently, your punishment will be severe. Dare us not!
Historians have grappled with the question why did the Jews not rebel in the Concentration Camps or the Ghettos. Did they simply go like sheep to the slaughter? The numbers were in their favor. But the spirit and the will were not there. They did not comprehend what was happening to them, that the atrocities being carried day and night are even possible by those enlightened fellow human beings who took such great delight in doing the unimaginable.
[There are clearly exceptions. The two that immediately come to mind are the most heroic and inspirational Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and the Crematorium Revolt in Auschwitz-Birkenau.]
How is it possible that 75 to 100 million Americans do not rise to protect all that is dear to their hearts and essence of existence? The skies have been obfuscated and no one is standing for the truth or common sense any more. The despair is most contagious. Anyone daring to express the sentiment like at the beginning of this paragraph is a Domestic Terrorist, and thus must be hunted, punished and eliminated. So people are afraid.
There are no longer Checks and Balances. We are all standing for hours in the cold, being taunted, tortured, and no one says a pip.
People are silenced. People are afraid. And we let ourselves a way out, much like Ari in his negotiations with God the Almighty: “Come November 2022, things will take a turn, the darkness will start dissipating, there will be light again.”
Anyone entertaining oneself with such false hopes better realize that we have seen nothing yet. There is nothing more addicting and intoxicating than the feeling of absolute power, and those holding it will do everything to make sure it remains in their hands.
Will we have to learn to live with this new reality, maybe get a booster every three to four months? There are those who tell us the Pandemic is here to stay, that we better get used to it. However, we are not blind and stupid, and we do remember history. Nature is cyclical, and nothing is absolute and forever – other than God.
Pandemics came and went. This one, too, shall be over, and I keep negotiating with God, praying most eagerly to God, begging Him to consider, that it will happen sooner rather than later.
In politics too, the nightmare of this past year – from open borders to inflation, to the spread of the virus and its variants, supply chain issues and workers shortage, violence and crime skyrocketing and the police doing little or nothing, a Commander in Chief who has cognitive difficulties and a world that stopped taking the US seriously – will be over.
It will take an act of God or good people standing up for the truth and what is right, but change will come about. Until then, we lift our eyes to the mountains and know from where salvation will come:
Our help will come from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
God is our Keeper, He is our shade upon our right hand
God will keep us from all evil, He will protect our souls
God will guard our coming and our going, from this time forward for all times
On this Christmas Eve, as we look around, with family and friends abound, with abundance of health and our faculties intact, our gratitude is about to erupt – for there is so much to celebrate.
In the midst of all the darkness, small, individual lights appear, joining one another, much like in the Jewish Festival of Lights, making us one strong force for good.
May we all realize the beauty of the Season and the roles we need to play in this most magnificent story; a story called Our Life.
If you are a Bible-Believing Christian (as opposed to a Leftist propagandized diluted Christian), you must recognize the tyranny experienced on a global scale (more and more also in the USA) smacks glaringly of Last Days Signs.
End Times Prophecy is hardly an exact science with all kinds of disagreements on timelines and occurrences. With the only agreement Jesus the Christ wins and transforms a New Heaven and a New Earth that looks NOTHING like the despotic transformation envisioned by a Globalist-Dem-Marxist new social order.
I believe I have discovered an insightful essay by Britt Gillette observing today’s similarities to some Last Days scenarios.
Even with the uncertainty and too often squabbles of prophetic timelines and prophetic occurrences, here is some certainty from the Word of God as excerpted in the Book of Revelation to John the Apostle (Rev. 20: 9-10; 21: 1-8; 22: 1-5 NKJV):
Revelation 20
9 They went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them. 10 The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where[a] the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
Revelation 21
1Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. 2 Then I, [a]John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”
5 Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said [b]to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.”
6 And He said to me, “It[c] is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. 7 He who overcomes [d]shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. 8 But the cowardly, [e]unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
Revelation 22
1And he showed me a [a]pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. 4 They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads. 5 There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever.
AND NOW, Gillette’s essay.
JRH 10/27/21
I need your generosity in 2021 via – credit cards, check cards
As a student of bible prophecy for almost 30 years, and specifically end times bible prophecy, no other time has seemed as close to the end times as right now. Why do I say this? Because, particularly in the past year, the geopolitical and economic stage has been set for the fulfillment of several end times prophecies.
We now have several potential crises on the horizon. And those potential crises are the same ones the Bible says we’ll experience either in the Tribulation or the days immediately preceding the Tribulation. Below are just a few:
The Gog of Magog War
The Bible points to a future attack on Israel known as the Gog of Magog War (Ezekiel 38-39). It says a military alliance that includes Russia, Iran, Turkey, and a number of Muslim nations will attack Israel “in the latter days” (Ezekiel 38:8) when God brings His people home from among the enemy nations (Ezekiel 39:27).
Today, we see those nations forming an alliance for the first time – an alliance that has never existed in world history. Russia, Iran, and Turkey all have an active military presence in Syria, meaning they’re right on Israel’s northern border at this moment. Why is this important? Because Ezekiel specifically says this alliance will attack Israel from the north (Ezekiel 38:15; Ezekiel 39:2). In addition, the ancient territory of Magog covers a number of modern day nations, one of which is Afghanistan.
Up until recently, it was difficult to imagine U.S. occupied Afghanistan joining the Gog of Magog invasion. But now? With the Taliban back in control, it would be odd if they didn’t join this invading alliance. The way nations are aligned today, the Gog of Magog invasion could take place tomorrow. All the pieces are in place. Even just a few years ago, that wasn’t the case.
Global War Prospects
While “rumors of war” have been common since the end of World War II, the current situation is different. The world is in the midst of an energy crisis. Europe has seen natural gas prices surge in the past month. China and India are experiencing rolling blackouts of electrical service. Not only will this create problems in an already broken global supply chain, but these are the conditions which often give rise to war. And energy resource issues could provide the spark that ignites the next world war.
For example, China threatens to invade Taiwan on an almost daily basis. If China does invade, the United States claims it will defend Taiwan. If it occurs, such a conflict will devastate the world. Both China and the U.S. are nuclear powers, and both likely have high-tech space weapons, cyberwarfare capabilities, and innovative weapons never before seen on a battlefield. Such a conflict could easily erupt into World War III. Even if it doesn’t, the global economy would collapse and the global supply chain would be irreparably broken if the two largest economic powers went to war.
The same is true in regard to Israel and Iran. Both nations have been engaged in a type of “cold war” for years, and with each passing month, the prospect of all-out war only increases. A conflict between the two could pull the Middle East and the entire world into a cataclysmic war.
Throw in India’s border disputes with China and Pakistan as well as North Korea’s belligerence toward its neighbors and the United States, and the prospects of global war are probably the highest they’ve been in the post-Cold War era. At any moment, a flare up in any one of several hotspots could cascade into a global war. Yet, contrary to popular belief, the world will survive World War III.
The death toll will be enormous, but the human race won’t be annihilated (Revelation 6:4). The Bible says a global war will kick off the Tribulation and precede the global rule of the Antichrist. Right now, the odds of a devastating global war appear high.
Global Inflation Prospects
Shutdowns, travel regulations, and other COVID restrictions have wreaked havoc on the global supply chain since early 2020, and it’s only getting worse. Lack of shipping containers, global port congestion, and a lack of workers to produce, transport, and stock goods have led to shortages in everything from toilet paper and microprocessors to chicken wings and tractor tires.
Meanwhile, central bank and government policies creating low interest rates and instituting rent/mortgage moratoriums, student loan moratoriums, stimulus checks, and tax credits have only added to demand. Basic economics says if you lower supply and increase demand, you get higher prices. We’re seeing that right now, especially at the grocery store. Don’t expect it to get better.
The Bible says the world will experience an unprecedented hyperinflation during the Tribulation. Following the global war outlined in Revelation 6:4, the world experiences a time when an entire day’s wages will barely buy enough food to survive (Revelation 6:5-6).
Given the inflation and shortages we’re already seeing, how bad will it get if a major war breaks out anywhere in the world, much less an all-out global war like the one foretold in Revelation 6?
The Rising Mark of the Beast System
Throughout the world, governments are pushing COVID vaccines. Those who refuse the jab face a long list of penalties, including loss of employment, healthcare, freedom of movement, and liberty in general. Those pushing vaccine mandates and vaccine passports seek to coerce people into compliance. The goal is to ostracize the unvaccinated from society.
If these coercive policies remain in place, they’ll create a mark of the beast system indistinguishable in impact from the true mark of the beast (Revelation 13:16). In doing so, they’ll pave the way for the rise of the Antichrist and the actual mark of the beast as outlined in the Book of Revelation.
The Bible says those who refuse the mark of the beast will be shut out of the global economy. They’ll be unable to buy or sell anything without it (Revelation 13:17).
Today, we see the stage being set for the fulfillment of this prophecy. In some places, vaccine passports are required to appear anywhere in public, including grocery stores. Is it really hard to believe they’ll one day be required to engage in any buy/sell transactions?
The Days of Noah and Lot
Jesus said when He returns, the world will be “like it was in the days of Noah” (Matthew 24:37). Jesus said, “In those days before the flood, the people were enjoying banquets and parties and weddings right up to the time Noah entered his boat. People didn’t realize what was going to happen until the flood came and swept them all away. That is the way it will be when the Son of Man comes.” Matthew 24:38-39 (NLT)
Is this what we see in the world today? I think so. Even after 19 months of a global pandemic, a global supply chain crisis, and threats of war, people are still enjoying banquets and parties and weddings. In other words, much of life remains normal. After a series of events that should have shaken the world from its slumber, most people continue to go about their daily lives unaware of the times in which we live.
The times in which we live are clear to anyone who knows the Bible. We are living in the days just before the Tribulation takes place. Jesus will soon return to take His church (1 Corinthians 15:51-53; 1 Thessalonians 4:15-18). How can I be so sure? Because Jesus says so. Jesus said when you see all the signs He and the prophets said to look for, you should look up (Luke 21:28), and we see those signs right now.
The Convergence of Signs
So what are these signs? Jesus and the prophets pointed to dozens and dozens of signs. This article only cites a few, but each one is undeniable. Their convergence for the first time in history tells us the return of the Lord is close at hand. In addition to the events already mentioned, these signs include:
• Israel Back in the Land (Jeremiah 23:7-8; Ezekiel 39:28; Isaiah 11:12; Psalm 107:3; Ezekiel 20:34; Isaiah 11:11-12)
• The Jewish People in Control of Jerusalem (Luke 21:24-28)
• The Gospel Preached Throughout the World (Matthew 24:14)
• An Increase in Travel and Knowledge (Daniel 12:4)
• Arrival of the Exponential Curve (Matthew 24:3‐8)
• Israel Surrounded by Enemies (Psalm 83:4; Psalm 83:12; Ezekiel 11:14‐17; Ezekiel 35:10)
• Israel’s Exceedingly Great Army (Ezekiel 37:10; Zechariah 12:6; Zechariah 12:8)
• The Rise of a United Europe (Daniel 2, Daniel 7, Revelation 17)
• The Rise of a Global Government (Revelation 13:7-17)
• The State of Mankind (2 Timothy 3:1-4)
• Denial of the Signs (2 Peter 3:3‐4)
Stay Awake
Jesus commanded us to watch for these signs (Matthew 24:42). He scolded the Pharisees and religious leaders when they failed to recognize the signs of His first coming (Matthew 16:3). Will He do any different for those who fail to recognize the signs of His second coming? Jesus warned us not to be caught sleeping when He returns (Mark 13:36).
Now is the time to point out these signs to others and warn them the end is near. If you’ve been waiting to share the Gospel with someone, don’t wait any longer. You may not have another opportunity. Jesus is coming. The signs are all around us.
Yesterday I got to an email in time from Ari Bussel informing me of a Conference Call billed as National Faith Leaders Call with Donald Trump. Ari provided the contact info to be on the call to me which I indeed participated (9/2/21).
The call began with a proviso that if members managed to get access to hang up now for the Conference Call was to be off the record. Because of that I will not share the content of what I was able to listen. Sadly my old Android Smart Phone dropped the call about a half-hour after beginning. BUT this I will share: President Trump (that without FRAUD – the actually elected President in 2020) was very upbeat and did NOT sound like a quitter.
In conjunction with that Conference Call I am sharing Ari Bussel’s email exchange with whom he was invited to participate.
JRH 9/3/21
I need your generosity in 2021 via – credit cards, check cards
What an extraordinary surprise and blessing it is to have received your invite this morning! So while we were (not) “asleep at the wheel,” and while numbness seems to have frozen us to the point of “slumber and sleep,” you have apparently continued working, creating, germinating and are here now, ready for this very day!
There is nothing more encouraging and uplifting that looking all around and seeing the multitudes – us – ready and eager to join; standing thirsty and waiting for these drops of rain, like seeds in the Sahara Desert.
We are one, great in numbers, but united in essence and purpose – in belief in God the Almighty and what He wants from us. Thus, a song plays in my mind, written more than 120 years ago following the First Zionist Congress. The Congress main mission was to UNITE the Jewish People, all hundreds and hundreds of its cooperatives, associations and groups into one great movement whose members will emigrate to the Land of Israel, in great waves.
[שאו ציונה נס ודגל – S’u Tziona Nes va Degel]
Lift toward Zion a pole and flag, the flag of the Judean camp …
Return, return from great distances
to our homeland, to the land of our Fathers …
For our people, for our land, be strong and become strong
Together we will go, please, we will return
to our land, that of our Forefathers
to our beloved land
where our childhood began ….
Then our mouths will be filled with laughter and our tongue with singing (Psalms 126:2 – which continues, “then said they among the nations: ’The Lord has done great things with these!’”)
…
And so the song that has become somewhat of an anthem (and has filled my mind, refusing to leave) is based on the words of the Prophet Jeremiah. The Prophet tells us to “tell,” to “sound,” to “say” and to “blow the horn,” – to “call, fill and tell, gather and let us come together” – all action directives – CARRY THE FLAG TO ZION, DARE NOT STAND” (idle), carry the flag, unite!
ו שְׂאוּ-נֵס צִיּוֹנָה, הָעִיזוּ אַל-תַּעֲמֹדוּ: כִּי רָעָה, אָנֹכִי
מִצָּפוֹן–וְשֶׁבֶר גָּדוֹל.
5 Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem, and say: ‘Blow ye the horn in the land’; cry aloud and say: ‘Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the fortified cities.’
6 Set up a standard toward Zion; put yourselves under covert, stay not; for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction.
You have called us to the Flag today, exactly a week before our Jewish New Year.
It is at this time (this Hebrew month leading to the Jewish New Year, in the Seventh Month of the Biblical Calendar) that it is said we are closest to God;
that God hears us clearest,
for the King is in the Fields –
out of the castle, traveling, closest to His people
who are working in the fields
It is this month,
therefore,
that we ask for forgiveness
that we focus on retrospection (and introspection)
and get ready to the blowing of the Shofar (horn)
which is (what we are commanded to do on) the first day of our New Year
1 And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, ye shall have a holy convocation: ye shall do no manner of servile work; it is a day of blowing the horn unto you.
White House High Holy Days Call
Friday, September 27, 2019
Operator: Hello and thank you for joining today’s High Holy Days call with Jewish faith leaders. Please note that this call is being recorded. At this time all audience members are in listen-only mode to minimize background noise. There will be Q&A at the end of this call, and we will provide instructions at that time. I would now like to formally begin today’s call and introduce President of the United States, Donald J Trump.
Pres. Trump: It’s a great honor to be with you and to host our third annual call with Jewish leaders, rabbis and friends to wish you Shana Tova, a sweet new year. During the High Holy Days, families gather in synagogues across the country and around the world to sound the shofar and pray, reflect and thank God for His many blessings.
As we mark the Jewish New Year, our entire country is reminded of the infinite ways Jewish Americans strengthen our communities, uplift our nation, and deepen our culture. You care for your neighbors, teach your children, cherish our heritage, and you embody the American dream. Throughout history, the Jewish people have suffered unthinkable oppression and persecution, yet they have persevered, endured, thrived, and created a flourishing democracy – the state of Israel.
In the last two and a half years, we have strengthened the everlasting friendship between the United States and Israel. I moved the United States Embassy to Jerusalem. We recognized Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights, which was something they were trying to have done for 72, or 52 years to be more specific. We’re confronting Iran, a regime that chants “Death to Israel.”
As I said in my recent address to United Nations, America will never tolerate anti-Semitic hate. In recent months, our entire nation was stricken with shock and grief and righteous anger when two horrific anti-Semitic murderers attacked synagogues in California and Pennsylvania. To every survivor, family member and to the entire Jewish community, all of America embraces you with love. We pledge our undying and total resolve to excise the vile placing of anti-Semitism from our world. Earlier this year, I appointed a new special envoy to monitor and combat anti-Semitism. Elan Carr, who is with us now and will provide an update shortly. In the wake of such atrocious attacks, millions have been inspired by Jewish-American heroes who responded to the worst evil with remarkable bravery. During my State of the Union Address, we were all moved by the presence of Pittsburgh survivor, Judah Samet, who also survived the Holocaust. In May, on the National Day of Prayer in the Rose Garden, we were joined by members of the congregation from Poway, California, including Rabbi Goldstein. This afternoon we’re joined on the call by survivors of the Holocaust. We cannot comprehend the persecution and suffering you have endured, yet you have overcome the darkest chapters of human history with the purity of love and goodness in your hearts. We renew our pledge now and always. Never again.
I understand that during this time of year, you often read Psalm 27. We remember the promise of those words that says, “Wait for the Lord. Be strong and let your heart take courage.” Today, we thank God for His faithfulness and for the countless ways Jewish-Americans bless our nation.
