Looks like two factions want to claim Jesus – but only until it serves their purpose.
The massacre in Gaza on 7 October was like firewood build-up just waiting to be lit. What you are reading/hearing/watching depends on which “channel” you are tuned in to. There is propaganda from all sides – it is easy to be swayed in any one direction.
As someone commented: We are naive about what is the real picture in this conflict.
The declaration from Israel that they are going to wipe out Hamas is a tall one. The Hamas leaders are sitting safe in Qatar. Destroy their sites in Gaza, they will create new ones. They have plenty of jihadi recruits waiting and ready to sign up.
If Israel targets any other ME country, or the US steps in, the other Arab nations will join what is right now the Israel-Hamas war.
Some interpretations are that there will be not just one but a number of anti-Christs before the main one is revealed. From what we see on the world stage, there are a number of possible candidates that already fit the bill.

The US will “not be spared from this fire” if Israel’s “genocide” against the Palestinian people continues, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian told the UN General Assembly in New York on Thursday.
“I say frankly to the American statesmen and military forces who are now managing the genocide in Palestine, that we do not welcome the expansion of the war in this region,” Amir-Abdollahian said in his address.
“But I warn [that] if the genocide in Gaza continues, they will not be spared from this fire,” he continued. “This is our home and West Asia is our region. We do not compromise with any party and any side and have no reservations when it comes to our home’s security.”
US President Joe Biden has pledged that Washington will “stand forever” with Israel, and is currently pushing Congress to authorize a $14 billion package of military aid for the Jewish state.

Senior Labor minister Tony Burke has supported his local council flying the Palestinian flag and said the country should not engage in “competitive grief” during the horrors of the Israel-Hamas war.
In the strongest comments yet from an Albanese government minister, Burke said civilian families in Gaza would be the first to die as food, water and fuel ran out, and that the grief of Palestinian Australians whose family members were dying had not been acknowledged in equal ways in the response to the conflict. …
Burke is the third Albanese government minister, and the most senior, to speak out publicly about the sentiment among Palestinian Australians since the Israel-Hamas war broke out, after ministers Ed Husic and Anne Aly, who are both Muslim, last week said they feared Palestinians were being collectively punished for Hamas’ actions.

On the topic of genocide, Donetsk City came under an artillery attack today after the first three day pause since 2014, cluster munitions were used for maximum civilian deaths.
The pause was caused by the Russian attack on Avdiivka, a heavily fortified city to the west of Donetsk city. It was from this city that the shelling of Donetsk city was conducted by the Ukrainian militias since 2014, they probably turned their guns on the advancing Russian troops instead of just killing civilians for a change.
It looks like the Russians will attack that city via its industrial area, same as in Bakhmut. The major industry there is a coke factory hence the suggestion that Zelensky ordered it be defended till the last man when he heard they had a coke factory (sniff sniff).

A short history lesson
After Germany’s humiliating defeat in WW1, Hitler rose to power with promises to restore Germany to its former glory. He followed an aggressive policy of invasions and annexations.
The Allied powers – Britain, US and Soviet Union – were desperate to avoid another war and had their own problems in each of their countries. So they ignored Hitler’s invasion by following a policy of appeasement and gave him concessions in the hope that this would keep the peace and avoid war.
But appeasements don’t work. They are seen as a sign of weakness by the aggressor. The Allied powers had used appeasement for personal political gain, as an easy way out of a problem. By the time they realised their mistake, it was too late. Hitler marched into Poland in September 1939, and the Allies had to take action. That set off WW2.
Had the Allies stopped Hitler in the early stages, the world could well have been spared the horrors of the Second World War.
But the powers-that-be were looking to their own convenience and cowardice in tackling the problem. In trying to avoid a war/dispute that could have been at a smaller scale, they ended up instead with the bloodbath of a world war.

Fast forward to the current situation in Israel.
Why has it been so difficult for all groups to come to an understanding and solve the problem in as peaceful a manner as possible?
For decades now, the dispute has been ongoing. In the past, Hamas was a small outfit – a little dangerous – but possible to control. However, Netanyahu, in wanting to prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state, used the divide and rule ploy by decreasing the power of the Palestinian Authority (PA) and helping Hamas increase its power. Hamas was only a small terror group, but with Netanyahu’s scheming has ended up as a powerful organisation.
Just as the appeasement by the Allies allowed the rise of Hitler, so the appeasement by Netanyahu has resulted in the rise of Hamas. The Israeli government thought they were using Hamas to fit in with their plans. Turns out Hamas has used the strategy to its advantage.
And like the invasion of Poland which could no longer be ignored, the Israeli government have found themselves in a similar position with the massacre on October 7.
Those who want to pick a side based on appearances or the propaganda can do so: Hamas is the evil one while Israel is the innocent victim/the good guys. Hamas is evil – no doubt about it. But those who are prepared to ask how it came to this, and why, will see that it isn’t so simple.
If Israeli leaders really cared about peace, they could have worked out a solution. There are peace-desiring people on both sides (Israel and Palestine) who would have worked out a deal. But when you decide to play foul, team up with a terror group and encourage it, the day comes when that rabid dog turns into a powerful raging bull.
They fed the beast and now are crying wolf.

Report comment
Bill Clinton had Israeli PM Ehud Barak and Yasser Arafat attend a Camp David summit meeting to work out a peace settlement between the Jews and the Palestinians in 2000. The talks failed as Arafat refused to recognise the state of Israel, even though Barak agreed to 95% of Arafat’s demands.
There will never be a two-state solution as no Palestinian leader, be they either PA or Hamas, will recognise the right of Israel to exist. If any Palestinian leader was to recognise Israel, he’d be killed and replaced immediately (remember Anwar Sadat). Muslim theology teaches that land once conquered by Muslims will always be Muslim land, so Israel’s existence is an ongoing insult to Islam.
Bill Clinton, though no friend of Israel, had to acknowledge that the talks failed despite PM Barak bending over backwards to accommodate Arafat’s demands. Nothing will change there for years unfortunately with or without Netanyahu’s “clever” plans.

Australia going cashless?
When I’ve used the self-serve checkout at my local Woolies, I’d sometimes have to wait for a cash register to be available. There were more Card Registers that worked and fewer Cash ones. When I questioned this, one store employee muttered something about cash been phased out.
Yesterday, I was at the checkout and noticed the registers have been upgraded. A quick check showed 4 as Card only and around 8 or 9 as Cash and Card. I am sure they would have based this on past records and noted that there are a number of customers who pay by cash.
Going cashless only works when the public assist them. If we push back hard enough, they won’t be able to impose their cashless plans.
If a business doesn’t want your cash, walk away and find one that does. It may be harder with banks and supermarkets, but with other businesses, find another one.

Macgregor’s right on many points. But the one about Israelis taking care not to harm civilians, I’m not sure.
Chris Hedges says:

But we have to understand it. To understand is not to condone.
Do we want to understand the ongoing crisis? We can still despise Hamas and all terrorist organisations or disagree with some aspects. But we have to understand not just what has happened this month but before that. And what Chris describes as the absurdity of criticising Israel as a form of anti-semitism to criticising genocide as a form of anti-semitism.

When was the last time such an attempt was made? In 2000?
What if there were two negotiating groups (excluding Netanyahu and his allies) who seriously wanted to arrive at a peaceful solution and each side was willing to sincerely consider the deal? The negotiations would be held in a place that allowed media access and the entire world could see what each side brought to the table, their willingness to work towards peace and discuss a solution.
If the deal fell through because the Palestinian side didn’t agree to Israel’s right to exist, or Israel didn’t want to consider the two-state solution, it would be out in the open. With social media, there would be proof of what happened and which side is responsible for the continuing conflict.

The Australian Maritime Safety Authority, a government agency, has issued warnings to roll on – roll off ferry operators about the dangers of a fire from electric vehicles. Their recommendations for protective housing for these vehicles while the ship is at sea will be so prohibitively expensive that these ferry operators won’t allow electric vehicles to be carried onboard.
Multi-storey car park operators will soon face a similar dilemma.

Regarding electric vehicles being carried on passenger ferries, these vehicles should be parked on an open-air deck with a bulldozer handy so that the burning car can be pushed overboard and thus avoid the risk of injury to the passengers and damage to other vehicles.
Regarding the London Luton airport multi-storey car park fire, the vehicle owner has been arrested, charged and released on bail. Apparently the car was smoking when the owner drove into the car park. He told an attendant that the car was smoking but he was a very important person and he had to dash to catch a flight to a very important meeting so he wasn’t going to wait.
I suppose that he could have abandoned the vehicle on the road and not continue driving into the car park, but he was an important person so normal considerations don’t apply.
1504 cars were lost and the car park has collapsed, I’d hate to be his insurance company.
