@Scott Downey , @Wrangler @marks and anyone else who cares to read this post.

As I still believe and said before in other words, that the Hamas Gaza government never had the means, the money, the training, the methods, of a surprise, of this type of concealment, of pulling off such a large and sustained attack of any kind without major assistance from either some other regional friends of by Israel, yes the State and govt of Israel.

Read this excerpt from a recent NPR interview that seems to side with my thoughts concerning this so-called war.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How was Hamas able to launch such a devastating attack on Israel?

October 11, 20231:32 PM ET
Heard on Fresh Air

Terry Gross
--------------------------
GROSS: You know, everybody has been asking, how could Israel have missed what was going on, the planning for this invasion by Hamas? And I want to ask you that question because you are the author of the book "A High Price: The Triumphs And Failures Of Israel Counterterrorism." So this was obviously coming under the category of failure, massive failure. How do you think this might have happened?

BYMAN: This is a question that I think commissions and press investigations are going to be trying to answer for months and even years to come. And I want to confess, I did not think Hamas was capable of such a large-scale, sophisticated operation before it happened. So I can't point fingers without pointing one at myself. But there are multiple possible failures here. The biggest one is simply a failure of collection, that Hamas was able to hide the training, the import of large numbers of rockets and missiles into Gaza, the development of new tactics like using gliders and really just a mass-scale operation under the noses of Israeli intelligence.

And Israel has put a lot of effort into knowing what is going on within Hamas and within Gaza in general and using a wide range of intelligence systems to do so. So that basic collection problem seems to have been missing. And add to it a failure of defensive measures where there do not seem to have been enough military and police forces near Gaza for contingencies such as what happened in case intelligence fails. And this is something that I also believe is linked to the broader policies Israel pursued in Gaza, where the Netanyahu government seemed to think that the very limited economic incentives it was giving Hamas in terms of work permits into Israel, that this was a way of keeping Hamas satisfied, of keeping Palestinians satisfied and that because of their improved economic situation, as limited as it was, that they would not consider a large-scale attack.

I hope you have been asking yourself the same types of questions as I and these gentlemen. You have to if you live in this fallen world as and especially as a believer.

These are reasonable and very logical questions that should trump any emotion outcry for say the head of a Palestinian or the destruction of the entire Gaza strip.

I still think the US-Israel intel apparatus was working overtime in ensuring this so-called war would happen....and blame it on the Palestinian peasants

Again, just Jew hating speculations.

If there was a shred of truth to what you were saying, Hamas would be denying involvement and Iman’s from all other the world would:
  1. Condemn the 5,000 missiles fired against Israel.
  2. Affirm Israel’s right to exist.
  3. Demand Palestinians immediately leave Israel and Gaza and head to Jordan in accordance with the Cease Fire of WWI - for their own safety and peace in the area.
Short of this, I reject casting Islamists as the victims and support the resumption of WWI - call it WW3 if you want.

Israel is only the first target, warns Hamas Commander in resurfaced video - Watch
Mahmoud al-Zahar: "The entire planet will be under our law, there will be no more Jews or Christian traitors."


WATCH: Israel is only the first target, warns Hamas commander

First the Saturday people (Jews) then the Sunday people. (Christians) It's an old saying in the world of radical Islam.

only one thing be lacking from that picture . WHEN YE LOOOK behind the mask
the WHO and the what is behind it all WILL SHOCK EVEN CHRISTENDOM ITSELF to its knees .
LOOK real closely behind the mask . You will see the bigger picture .
The extremist of all extremists the liar of all liars will be seen .
Satan is using all not in the lambs book of life to do his will . He uses his right hand muslims to promote jihad
he uses the false religoins to do his bidding .
But the face behind the mask the most dangerous and deceptive , the one that leads to the death of the soul
will be seen . There is one that is far more dangerous than ever jihad mulisms could be .
ITS face , however is not what most folks would think it to be .
FOR IT COMETH preaching not jihad but a false love . IT cometh to gather all to be as one
and its enemy is not the dark rainbow , but true lambs .
It is making ready a world through false hope , false love and through dangerous men to create fear
THE face of it can be seen in the ALL INCLUSIVE LOVE DO REALM . Its face
can be seen IN POPE FRANCIS and many leaders of the protestant realm . NOT WHAT YOU EXPECTED HUH
cause they come preaching about love , love , love all day . BUT I DARE ANYONE to compare their version of love
AGAINST BIBLICAL GOD INSPIRED LOVE .
A BLOOD bath is coming against the true lambs . CAUSE the true lambs have zero hope in any man
in any govt , they wont conform . they have no hope in the words of men .
THEY DUG IN THAT BIBLE and THEY FOLLOW that CHRIST . The face behind the mask
IS THE ALL INCLUSIVE LOVE CHILD OF SATAN HIMSELF that is fast guiding the world , through a false love
and through fear RIGHT INTO HIS NET . WE BESS GET IN BIBLES and fast .

So, it's your view that Jesus was talking here about modern day Israeli's?
No. He was speaking about a certain group of people that call themself Jews. The modern day Israeli is not of the synagogue of Satan.

There are many groups of a Jews…. Let me elaborate.
In the old days of culture you were a Jew if your father was a Jew.
Today you are Jew if your mother is a Jew.
You are also considered a Jew if you live in the land of Judea
You are also a Jew if you are a descendant of the man Judah
You are also a Jew if you convert to Judaism like many celebrities do.
There are also black Jews of Ethiopia (falashi) from the union of king Solomon and queen Sheba.

So who is a Jew? Anyone who wants to be.

Jesus was not speaking about any of these groups, there is another.

What gave them the right to declare statehood?
Do you know the history of the Balfour Declaration? After the defeat of the Ottoman Califate, Briton controlled the Middle East, and drew the bounderies we see today. Originally all of Isreal and Jordan (called Transjordan) were given to the Jews for a land, but then it was reduced to the small part they have now.

The Arabs got the lion's share, and the Jews got Palestine. The other nations didn't seem to have a problem with their declarations of statehood, just Isreal. Do you know this history?

Much love!

There will be no killings like those in....
No,there will just be oppression and killing in the name of Allah and under the jurisdiction of Sharia law.

Convert, or die. Kafir,non-Muslims,would not be allowed to live.

Imagine a world dominated by Islam.

There is no such thing as a Palestinian.
Yep. They are a man-made victim class to be exploited as needed for the political goals of their leaders, who tend to be very evil people.

Much love!

While anti-Israel activists join the evil using children as a cover to condemn Israel fighting to survive against an enemy that wants to erase them from the face of the earth.

If Hamas cared about their children they wouldn't train them to be martyrs as soon as they were old enough to hold a weapon.

The modern day Jew is not Semitic, thus the term antisemitism regarding them is a misnomer.
I would disagree with you there,

Zechariah 14:5
(5) And you shall flee to the valley of My mountains, for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azal. And you shall flee as you fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah, king of Judah. And Jehovah my God shall come, and all the saints with You.

Those living in Jerusalem when Jesus comes in power and glory will be the same people-group who lived there, who fled the earthquate during Uzziah's reign.

Much love!

Can someone come to my rescue here? HA. Is there a debate here regarding the Jews of today ( those living in Israel right now )
NOT being the CHOSEN ones?? Is this what is being discussed? Just trying to keep up with the latest part of this conversation and
I am not understanding. Gosh my mind is simple. HA. I am of the belief that the Jew's are God's chosen people... and a Christian Jew is called a Messianic Jew ... and that the rest of us Christians who are NOT jews are called Gentiles?

I know it's not anyone's job to educate me... I am just asking for the sake of keeping up with conversation. I am not understanding what the issue is with the Israel of today.
Simply stated, there are many who claim that the Jews in Israel today are counterfeit, not actually genetically Jews, related to those in Jesus' day, for instance. Fake Jews.

What's at stake is what you alluded to, whether or not those living there are God's Chosen. I believe they are. We can see the hate displayed by those who believe they are not.

Zechariah, the last three chapters, express pretty plainly to me that the Jews in Jerusalem at the end of the age are the same ethnically as those in Jesus' time, and before.

Zechariah 14:5
And you shall flee to the valley of My mountains, for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azal. And you shall flee as you fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah, king of Judah. And Jehovah my God shall come, and all the saints with You.

These are the same people. So the matter is easily settled from the Bible itself.

Much love!

The agenda so pathetic asking a mothers whose children were abducted by Hamas to have empathy for the hostage takers!!!! How disgusting?!
These events are really taking its emotional toll on you I see.

And do you believe that this woman, apparently a very distraught mother, is telling the media the entire truth then, and on a very liberal left-leaning TV network? I cannot trust this source and especially aired from this media source, as my truth.
