Germany's Merz: Israeli attacks on Gaza no longer justified, taking humanitarian toll

Jerusalem Post ^ | 5/26/2025 | Reuters, Jerusalem Post

Merz will tell Netanyahu "not to overdo it" in a call this week, though notes Germany will remain more guarded in its criticism than others for 'historical reasons'.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Monday that Israel's recent attacks on Gaza are taking a humanitarian toll on civilians that can no longer be justified as a fight against terrorism.

"Harming the civilian population to such an extent, as has incresingly been the case in recent days, can no longer be justified as a fight against Hamas terrorism," he told broadcaster WDR in a televised interview...

Merz already angered with Russia also angered at Israel.

The Leftist EU-UK-Canada group has picked their enemies as Russia and Israel. Take Note.

I can easily see a future where most of the worlds armies surround Jerusalem.

As I reentered the religious subculture in the last year it amazes me how they have walked away from some of the older thinking about the ‘End Times’.

Billy Graham preached that the notion of Jesus returning soon should be an incentive to telling others about Jesus not an impediment.

Justified 100% until the terrorist are ALL gone.

Germans seem to love waging two-front wars, don’t they? Triumph of hope over experience.

[Texas Eagle]

What is left to bomb in Gaza? Block after block of rubble. It’s worse than Detroit.

Underground.

Israeli attacks on Continuing Hamas hostage taking in Gaza no longer justified, taking humanitarian toll

There's more than one way to look at this.

Germany’s Goering: The Eight Air Force Attacks on Berlin No Longer Justified Taking a Humanitarian Toll

“If one bomb falls on the Ruhr, my name is no longer Goering, you can call me Meyer.”

[SaveFerris]

Exactly.

It is surely coming just as the Lord has Written.

But first, 2,520 days of 'Peace and Security' (7 Jewish years)

(Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press”
that Israel has to accept a two-state solution)

The 7 years of 'Peace and Security' are coming. And the Godless Reprobate United Nations / Globalists are going to get Satan's Antichrist.

Beware the coming confirmation of 7 years of 'Peace and Security'



MSNBC and NBC News sponsored the Global Citizen Festival in 2014 - not sure about other years



The 2014 Global Citizen Festival was the one where the whole audience worshiped Obama when his image appeared on the screen in front of them (pre-recorded video)



Look at nearly every mindless idiot in that audience.

Appears that the cop, state trooper, security aren't doing it. Maybe a couple of others.

I’m not cheering Israel’s military actions on but I can’t choose what others choose to do and how other nations respond to it.

It looks like the UK of Starmer, the EU and Canada are hostile to Israel right now as well as Russia.

Trump at the White House has a situation he has to respond to IMHO.

There is a situation here Geert Wilders in the Netherlands a big supporter of Israel threatening to bring down the government unless the border is firmly locked and Syrians are shipped back to Syria.

Two incidents of France’s power grid sabotaged in recent days heck Russia or Israel would have reason to do it IMHO.

Spain has openly recognized a Palestinian state and their power grid took a total hit recently.

[Frank Drebin]

The Germans lecturing Jews on humanitarianism. That’s rich.

Putting the theological disputes and details aside is it possible the seven-years started at the beginning of COVID in March 2020?

I’m not into details all this reminds me it’s time to pray meditate. I need some quiet time.

Graham. A pox on his house.

The chutzpah.

It is a bit hypocritical./sarc

Part of Israel’s judgement since the rebirth of the nation is God making them fight the nations around them committed to their destruction. One day soon Israel will wake up and call out to their Messiah (Jesus Christ). It is at that point that God will once again fight for Israel…

Zechariah 12: 10And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.

Zechariah 14:3Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. 4And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

PERHAPS MR MERZ WOULD CARE TO REMIND HIMSELF THAT YEARS AGO-—THE “CIVILIANS” (THEY ARE HARDLY CIVIL) VOTED TO HAVE HAMAS REPRESENT THEM IN ALL THINGS: POLITICAL & OTHERWISE.

THEY DID NOT CHOOSE WISELY

[SaveFerris]

No it only further set the stage.

It will not begin until the Man of Lawlessness, the Beast, the ANTICHRIST (colloquial) CONFIRMS the 7-year peace deal.

So that must come just before it, IMHO.

God bless
