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.
Here we see the warnings in The Revelation about a false messiah called the anti-Christ who is accompanied by someone called the False Prophet.

The last round of recruitment for the US military services failed to meet its targets so with multiple wars in the making, the draft will most likely be reintroduced.

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.
It looks like YouTube is down, it isn’t working for me anyway. I checked the report below which said it had crashed sometime today but is now working fine, which it isn’t.

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.

INTERVIEW: We’ve gone from the absurdity of criticising Israel as a form of anti-semitism to criticising genocide as a form of anti-semitism
The link doesn’t work for me, all I get is a static picture of Chris Hedge and George in a hat.
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).

@TuckerCarlson
Ep. 34 Of all of Biden’s crimes, backing the Ukrainian government as it throws priests in jail may be the most revealing.
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.
2/
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.
Netanyahu’s stated policy has always been in opposition to a two-state solution to the conflict…..
[This], was in direct opposition to most of the Israeli defense and security establishment, which viewed cooperation with the Palestinian Authority (PA) to be in Israel’s security interest….
Since returning to power in 2009, Netanyahu made no secret of his desire to keep Hamas and the PA apart for his own political purposes.
The Israeli security apparatus often wanted to go after the leadership of Hamas in a concerted way during many of these mini-wars. They were kept from doing so by Netanyahu — because he needed Hamas as his foil against the PA. He had no long-term strategic objectives, only short-term political ones.
For the last 14 years, while implementing a divide-and-conquer policy…Netanyahu….has resisted any attempt, military or diplomatic, that might bring an end to the Hamas regime….
For over a decade, Netanyahu has lent a hand, in various ways, to the growing military and political power of Hamas. Netanyahu is the one who turned Hamas from a terror organization with few resources into a semi-state body.
Thus, Netanyahu indirectly funded Hamas after Abbas decided to stop providing it with funds….
(The article is paywalled. I got the archived article but of late the archive site has sometimes been wanting a security check to let you through. If you can’t get in, the article is also at this link.)
Additionally, since 2014, Netanyahu-led governments have practically turned a blind eye to the incendiary balloons and rocket fire from Gaza.
Meanwhile, Israel has allowed suitcases holding millions in Qatari cash to enter Gaza through its crossings since 2018, in order to maintain its fragile ceasefire with the Hamas rulers of the Strip.
Most of the time, Israeli policy was to treat the Palestinian Authority as a burden and Hamas as an asset….
Hamas became stronger and used the auspices of peace that Israelis so longed for as cover for its training, and hundreds of Israelis have paid with their lives for this massive omission.
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.
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 is the 1st Western nation to go completely cashless at major banks WEF experiments on their plans for USA and EU ahead of 2024 elections
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.

GG interviews Pulitzer Prize winner Chris Hedges
Chris Hedges says: I’m not defending it.
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.
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.
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 entire world is like a cauldron with problems simmering within. The tyrants will turn up the heat to push their own evil schemes. So while we stay tuned and awake to what is taking place and are prepared to resist, let us also remember not to let them take away our peace and well-being.
We have to take the time to find ways to stay level-headed and keep off the despair and gloom. Let’s find ways to help each other – those who come here – by adding something light and entertaining, as well.
