Israel’s mood at the start of this war with Hamas was one of confident assurance. We wouldn’t be deterred by the rocket threat, and Hamas would be contained.
That’s utterly changed. The rockets turned out to be the least of our concerns. And the national mood now is a mixture of anguish at the growing toll of IDF dead, anger at the feckless response of parts of the international community — notably the US — and confidence in the troops and (atypically) the political leadership.
To lose the lives of 30 Israelis to terrorism is, appallingly, nothing new in a country that survived the suicide bombing onslaught of the second intifada. As the former Shin Bet intelligence chief Avi Dichter pointed out on Tuesday, 30 Israelis were killed in a single Hamas suicide bombing at the Park Hotel in Netanya on Passover Eve March 27, 2002. That was the worst, but still only one of dozens upon dozens of bombings that battered Israel’s buses, restaurants and shopping malls a decade ago.
But to lose 30 soldiers battling vicious Islamic extremists in Gaza produces anguish of a different nature. Our soldiers are our future. They’re the youngsters among us, who have been required because of Israel’s unique geographic and geostrategic peril to place themselves on the front line for years of service before their young lives have really begun. We feel guilty that we’ve pitched them into war. We, the safe civilians, draw our strength from the sky-high level of their determination and motivation to protect us. We wish it were us, the grownups, who were on the front line. We’d have much preferred for the rockets, targeting all of us, to have been the chief threat.

The Israelis can deal with it, or not, as they see fit ... but the reality remains.
Tell the truth ... if you can.

Not Boko Harem or Hamas, but yes in regards to the Libyan and Syrian rebels ... just like the USA supported the Mujahideen in Afghanistan (which Reagan did there) ... who then came back and attacked us on 9/11/2001!
The USA does a lot of that type of stuff like the Mujahideen in Afghanistan ... but they are are not doing it with Hamas or Boko Harem.
Where is this please?
A peace treaty with Israel has to be made 7 literal years before the Messiah returns.
Scenario:
Israel will win these preliminary battles, then nations will be hollering for peace; a man (THE antichrist) will arise who will broker the deal. All the world will look to him as their savior, sorta like our country looked to Obama (no, I’m not saying O is the antichrist, but just to show how easy it is to visualize nations blindly following after one man).
Under the treaty Israel will build a temple and offer sacrifices. Peace will last 3 1/2 years, when the antichrist will put an end to sacrifice and offering and stand in the temple, demanding worship.
Then follows 3 1/2 of hell on earth, so to speak, against Israel and all who might stand with them.
[The above is a summary, not every detail.]
Then the Messiah returns, deals with these nations, the antichrist and the false prophet. Then He will rule and reign over the earth from Jerusalem.
His people the Jews will all know Him and will teach the rest of the nations of the world.
Zechariah 14:16-17 says,
“Then it will come about that any who are left of all the nations that went against Jerusalem will go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to celebrate the Feast of Booths. And it will be that whichever of the families of the earth does not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, there will be no rain on them.
Read Zechariah 13:8 through Zechariah 14:21.
Sorry, as I pointed out earlier, the USA does not give money or any arms to Hamas in Gaza. There is nothing showing that at all.
The problem you have is mixing up Hamas, the terrorist organization, with the Palestinian civilians who live in a Gaza. The USA does send humanitarian aid to the Palestinians, and so does Israel and a lot of other countries. Israel doesn’t have any problem with this.
The government of Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have said their fight is not with Palestinian civilians, but with Hamas, the terrorist organization.
According to the Scriptures all of Israel who are alive, that is, who are left, is 1/3 of those living in the land.
Diog, you left out something:
Please add that “Kerry goes to the Jews to befuddle, skuttle and betray them.”
As for this writer, it reads like psy-ops to demoralize.
Nevertheless, it moves.
The US under Obama has been one of the main sponsors of the Hamas terror organization beginning with its $900 million grant to the terrorists in 2009.
That’s the American Cemetery in Normandy, France.
Each white dot is a grave marker.
It, and many other things, remind us of the very high cost of defending liberty and defeating evil. Evil doesn’t just roll over when confronted ... it fights. And good men, fighting for a good cause, die. Horribly. In large numbers. A nation which forgets this is doomed.
As I said earlier to another confused person ...

Thanks!
“The problem you have is mixing up Hamas, the terrorist organization, with the Palestinian civilians who live in a Gaza. The USA does send humanitarian aid to the Palestinians, and so does Israel and a lot of other countries.”
Israel does get the humanitarian aid to the Palestinians in Gaza. But I really do not think our “humanitarian” aid does...I wonder why I think that.
And so, another 47 million dollars has been allocated today.
He’s supportive of a Israel and its right to be there ... and as editor of the paper. He’s just pointing out the situation. You can look at all the other articles there and see.
Love Zechariah, am going to find it read out loud in Hebrew online.
30k was an absolute honor.
All goods are going to pass right through Israeli hands at the border. That’s where it goes. Gaza doesn’t have any air service and no sea service. Israel controls all that. It goes through Israeli hands ... :-) ...
Yes, as I said ... when I speak and say, “all of Israel” ... I’m not talking about the dead ones ... :-) ...
Under Obama the US government deals in subterfuge. The Benghazi murders took place over a secret Obama initiative to give weapons to fanatic Islamofascist terrorists jn Syria. The US gives money to the Palestinian Authority for deployment in Gaza knowing full well that much of it is diverted to Hamas.
The US denied that it was supporting the Islamonazi Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and everyone knew that this also was a lie.
There is not room even for plausible deniability any longer.
I hope you realize not all Bible scholars believe these prophecies were intended to provide a detailed calendar for the last days.
The Bible says “no man knows” when Christ will return. If your scenario were correct, the minute Israel signed this peace treaty we’d all have a detailed forecast of the next seven years.
Sorry, not buying it.
