I am normally a staunch supporter of Israel and Netanyahu. Primarily, my support is based upon the Bible and that Israel is a democracy.
Today, a day off, I was watching a number of youtube videos about the war, and a series of interviews and proselytizing by a Messianic Jew, originally from the US, in Israel. It absolutely amazed me, the number of secular Jews. I believe that one interviewee, also a Believer in Yeshua, stated that Israel is one of the most secular countries in the world, and that it is one of the most pro-trans and pro-homo countries in the world.
This evening, I also watched today’s video from ‘Canadian Prepper’. He interviewed an individual, who stated that Netanyahu is a globalist and his move into politics was backed and funded by Henry Kissinger and associated globalists. FWIW, I did a search of ‘Netanyahu globalist’ and located a his page on the WEF site. THAT absolutely scares me!
The interviewee stated that IDF members who normally watched the border against Hamass were withdrawn to the North, six months ago, leaving that border very lightly defended. Israel also disarmed its citizens fairly recently. In the past, Israeli citizens, especially in kibutzes, would have been armed to the teeth, and the Hamass terrorists would have quickly been stopped with extreme prejudice.
Something else that is troubling, is that the alarm systems on the border, are so sensitive that a bird, sitting on the fence, farting, would set off the system. This did not happen and, it took supposedly, six HOURS for the IDF and border police to respond!
This fellow also mentioned that the IDF has been shelling Hezbollah positions in the north, on an almost weekly basis, trying to provoke Iran. He said that the globalists want Iran destroyed because they are the only country in the region, which produces almost all of its own millitary equipment, buying little from either the East or the West. The globalists want Iran destroyed to stop this, and make Iran dependent upon them. I can’t say that I agree with his reasoning but it is an interesting perspective.
Over the last few months, I’ve had a feeling about Netanyahu, that didn’t seem quite right. I couldn’t put my finger on it. While I cannot trust a globalist, I continue to support Israel, if only for the sake of what the Lord teaches us. If it is chastisement, so be it. I will still pray for the peace of Jerusalem. We may well be alive to see Him return.
One thing I don’t understand -— historically, Israel responds to attacks immediately, hostages or not. This sitting on the fence, waiting for approval from other nations, is very troublesome to me.
