Buckingham Fountain closed after vandals dye water red, pro-Palestinian graffiti found
The Chicago Sun-Times ^ | June 22, 2024 | Kayleigh Padar and Dorothy Hernandez

Colin Hinkle, a professional drone pilot, noticed the red dye mixing with the green water of the fountain early Saturday morning and saw spray paint on the ground that read, “Gaza is bleeding” and “Stop the genocide.” 'That’s when I realized it was a protest,’ Hinkle said.

Buckingham Fountain is “closed until further notice” after the Grant Park tourist attraction’s pool water was dyed red overnight and messages protesting the war in Gaza were written on the ground surrounding the fountain.

People are surrendering left and right to the activists. Here and abroad. We’re losing the war without a shot fired.

And the Brits will remain laser focused on their 170+ year hatred of Russia. Never mind the million jihadis right there at home, raping, grooming, stabbing, mooching off the government.

John 16:22: In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
Just more proof of the Bible—as if we needed any—showing the hatred of the Jews. God shows his manifest power and identity through the Jews. These fools prove it with every act they do.
Isaiah 45:5-7:
5I am the LORD, and there is no other;

there is no God but Me.

I will equip you for battle,

though you have not known Me,

6so that all may know,

from where the sun rises to where it sets,

that there is none but Me;

I am the LORD, and there is no other.

7I form the light and create the darkness;

I bring prosperity and create calamity.

I, the LORD, do all these things.

This -—> “closed until further notice” <— is the worse vandalism.

Can the world ever realize we’re in a “spiritual” warfare in the end times?

Followers of the eternal God of Abraham, Issac & Jacob…..

OR those who choose to follow the influence of Satan and his “gods” in the world; Baal, Ishtar & Molech!

The Far-Left Sun-Tmes refused to report on this story when it first occurred. Now they are actually reporting it was Hamas? Who got to them?

Growing up i noticed that the Jewish girls were pretty wild.
Of course I never became a dentist or above so I never got to marry one.

My grandma used to put soap flakes in a fountain in the French Quarter because she thought it was pretty.
