“Oct 7 was not just a Charlie Hebdo-style terrorist attack. It was an act of war. More than 7,000 Hamas terrorists penetrated the frontier at more than 100 points....they had been instructed to r8pe, behead, torture, and kidnap men, women, and children.”

Passing time in a tightly packed airport coffee shop recently, I ended up in conversation with a thirty-something couple sitting only inches from me. I was coming from Mexico City and they were going there. After the usual banter, I asked where they were from and learned they were New Yorkers moving out of that city. They didn’t offer a reason and I didn’t press for one.

They asked me what I did for a living and I explained that I was a writer currently investigating how cartels were smuggling people into the US. I say I was chatting with this couple, but it was really only with her. He said nothing the entire time. But he listened intently as she asked questions.

“You travel a lot? Where have you been?”

“Well, so far this year, I’ve covered the WEF in Davos, researched Karl Marx in London, went to Gaza with the IDF…”

“You’ve been to Israel?” She interrupted. “We’ve been there. What do you think of the war?”

I guessed that here our conversation would end unhappily. They were New Yorkers, so almost certainly heavily propagandized lefties. But I pressed on.

“Almost everything you hear in Western media is wrong…”

“You mean it’s a lie. How?”

“Oct 7 was not just a Charlie Hebdo-style terrorist attack. It was an act of war. More than 7,000 Hamas terrorists penetrated the frontier at more than 100 points. Inspired by Islam, they had been instructed to r8pe, behead, torture, and kidnap men, women, and children.”

He still said nothing, but leaned forward, eyes narrowing.

“Who helped them do it?” She asked.

“Iran was the biggest supplier, but North Korea, China, and Qatar mostly. The UNRWA also played a role. Weapons and matériel were stockpiled in Egypt and smuggled into Gaza through tunnels.”

“You know that?”

“I know that. Trust me.” That led to a discussion of President Sisi, the Muslim Brotherhood, and my standoff with Egyptian State Security in Cairo. Still, I had no real gauge for where they stood politically. She asked if I had written anything on the subject, so I pointed her to my article for The Federalist connecting the dots between Egypt, USAID, Gaza, and my swatting.

A woman sitting nearby, leaned over and said, “Forgive me for eavesdropping on your conversation, but this is fascinating.” We all chatted a bit longer and I left.

About 30 minutes later I was standing in line at the gate waiting to board my flight when the husband appeared.

“Pardon me, but I had to come find you.” He was full of emotion. He indicated that he and his wife were Israelis who had lived in NYC but were now fleeing Mamdani’s third world sh*thole.

“You are a man who needs the protection of angels,” he said, and then presented me with a Jewish holy book. “We want you to have this. I pray it protects you.”

With that he turned and walked away.

Gentile and fierce Protestant that I am, I was nonetheless deeply moved. It seems they had read the article and, catching a glimpse of my work, felt my life was in danger. For my own part, I was aware that the same ideology that threatened me, was the same one that threatened them, forced them to move, and imperiled their native land.

I’m often amazed by the people the Lord puts in my path when I pause long enough to look around and notice them.

It’s not that plain and simple. Look back at that time. It was a divided government and the he was forced to share power with his enemies. I don’t like to accuse any of God’s people, but I believe Bibi was kept in the dark by those whose jobs it was to be aware of what was going on, and how their forces seemed to be on vacation that day of all days after their near defeat in 73, on Yom Kippur.

One day we’ll all know, but like everything else in this world, be like Pontus Pilot and ask, “What is truth?” And above all, avoid Tucker, Candice, and the like.

It’s worse than that. Israeli officials obtained a roughly 40-page Hamas battle plan more than a year before 7 October 2023. Israel code-named it “Jericho Wall.” It described, point by point, a rocket barrage, drones disabling cameras and automated guns, mass infiltration by paraglider, motorcycle and on foot, overrunning border posts and kibbutzim, and taking hostages. Hamas executed the plan exactly as the documents the Israelis had in their hands. A more operational version was obtained in 2022 and circulated among senior military and intelligence officers, including the Gaza Division. These are the facts that came out in inquiries of the Israeli government. You gotta wonder why they knew and let it happen.. maybe it was a pretext for this: IMG_2476.jpeg

If there was any genocidal attention, that’s when it was , and only from the Islamic side.

Charlie Kirk answers an Arab student and unequivocally says. Hamas Oct 7 was the GENOCIDE

They didn’t connect the dots. It makes them sloppy. Just like us pre 911

learned they were New Yorkers moving out of that city

This is sad. When the last American moves out of New York - what will be left?

What on earth led to an American-hating muslim being elected mayor?

Have to wonder if this couple voted.

I read that women were gang raped so long (and hard) it broke their pubic bones. After their horrendous savagery, they were murdered. It revealed their demonic morality directly the fault of their false religion. These Muslims would have had no problems running Nazi Germany’s gas chambers for the Jews. That they harbor ideals of the Culture of Death, a modern day Crusades are raising the possibilities.

Considering that Israel has been bending over backwards in their attempt to appease and get along with the paliwogs in Gaza, your insinuation falls on flat ears.
