October 7.
Three responses to the year gone by.
1/ Khalil Sayegh, Palestinian Christian
Lost his father, sister and friends in the past year due to the genocide in Gaza.
Would all of this change my opinion of the crimes committed on October 7th? My answer was always NO absolutely no.
2/ Stephen Kapos, 87-year old Hungarian Jew
Holocaust survivor
I say this as a holocaust survivor that the genocide in Gaza is not happening in my name, and in our name.
3/ Maoz Inon, Peace Activist, Israeli citizen
Lost His Parents on October 7, 2023
Those who believe in war, they are naive, because they have been failing again and again and again,” says Israeli peace activist Maoz Inon, who has been advocating for a ceasefire and an end to Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian territories for the past year. His parents, Bilha and Yakovi, were among those killed on October 7.

Israel-US relations in tatters as Biden labels Bibi ‘son of a b*tch’
Joe Biden labelled Benjamin Netanyahu a ‘f**king liar’ and ‘bad f**king guy’ in a profanity-laced tirade, according to claims that threaten to divide the US and Israel amid a multi-front war.
Those in the Vatican who long for a new Church free of the demands of the Gospel of Jesus Christ should feel free to begin its founding. You will be able to decide who your founder is and what church you dream of like thousands before you. There are many in the past 500 years that you can model your dream after.
But please stop trying to corrupt the Church that Christ founded with ideas that contradict His teachings.
Jesus Christ and His Church, yesterday, today and forever.
The ongoing Synod in the Vatican is trying to rewrite the teachings of the Church.

For Catholics:
You may be interested in this campaign which has started this week.
A line that caught the eye of NBC News was that the former – and potentially future – American president has earned $300,000 from sales of “The Greenwood Bible,” a customized edition retailing for $59.99 that includes a handwritten chorus of ‘God Bless the USA’ by country singer Lee Greenwood. A limited edition of the Bible bearing Trump’s personal signature sells for $1,000 apiece.
Trump’s wife Melania has earned over $330,000 from a licensing agreement to sell NFTs, while getting paid over $237,000 for a speaking engagement to Log Cabin Republicans in Florida in 2024.
A salesperson at Mardel Christian & Education searched, and though they carry 2,900 Bibles, none fit the parameters.
But one Bible fits perfectly: Lee Greenwood’s God Bless the U.S.A. Bible, endorsed by former President Donald Trump and commonly referred to as the Trump Bible. They cost $60 each online, with Trump receiving fees for his endorsement.
In an email to CNN, Skyhorse Publishing sent a document labeled, “Confidentiality and Nondisclosure Agreement” that laid out strict terms for an interview and use of material from the book, titled “Melania,” due to publish on October 8. On top of that, the agreement stipulated that “CNN shall pay a licensing fee of two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000).”
Melania Trump roasted for new grift hawking ‘tacky’ $600 ‘Vote Freedom’ necklace others very similar on TEMU are only $1.69 A LITTLE OVER DOLLAR both made in China

Labor – to get its supply of Muslim votes. Liberals – to grab the Jewish votes.
What does bipartisan support for Israel mean? This was the motion put forward by Albanese after a failure from both sides to agree. I can’t see anything wrong with it.
Mr Albanese went ahead with Labor’s version, telling parliament: “As we mourn and reflect, we also reaffirm a fundamental principle of our shared humanity that every innocent life matters, every Israeli, every Palestinian, every Lebanese, every single innocent life.”
Citing the Hamas-controlled Gaza health authority’s figures of more than 40,000 people killed in the territory, Mr Albanese said that the loss of civilian lives in the year-long conflict was “a tragedy of horrific proportions”….
“In line with the global community, we are pressing the urgent need for de-escalation,” Mr Albanese said. “We repeat our call for all sides to observe international law. Further hostilities put civilians at risk. We cannot accept the callous arithmetic of so-called ¬acceptable casualties.”
In a comment directed at his political opponents, he added: “Each and every one of us has a responsibility to prevent ¬conflict in the Middle East from being used as a platform for prejudice at home.”
Mourning the loss of all innocent lives in this conflict does not get bipartisan support?
Ceasefire and peace are not the goal. It is about one side claiming the victim role – with help from the media.

Control via the media feels a greater betrayal than lack of genuine political representation.
The UN pretending to care, just before ‘Covid’ was unleashed on the world, called a free press ‘the cornerstone’:
No democracy is complete without access to transparent and reliable information, said António Guterres, describing unfettered journalism as “the cornerstone for building fair and impartial institutions, holding leaders accountable and speaking truth to power.”
Interesting to note, too, that freedom from fear is one of the
‘four fundamental freedoms’ outlined in the Preamble of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
And yet the media, along with the government, stoked fear throughout the months that followed.
Trump claims he visited Gaza — but there’s no evidence he did
Former President Donald Trump claimed in a radio interview that he has been to Gaza even though no record of such a visit exists.
The comment, which Trump made in an interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt that was broadcast on Monday, came in response to a question about whether the occupied territory, which Israel has largely razed to the ground over the last year, could be developed to “be Monaco, if it was rebuilt the right way?”
“It could be better than Monaco. It has the best location in the Middle East, the best water, the best everything,” Trump responded. “I’ve been there, and it’s rough. It’s a rough place, before the, you know, before all of the attacks and before the back and forth what’s happened over the last couple of years.”
Asked to clarify, a spokesperson for the Trump campaign told the New York Times that “Gaza is in Israel. President Trump has been to Israel.” …
The U.S. support of Israel has cost Americans 17.6 trillion dollars when you factor in the compounding interest of all the foreign aid plus the “war on terror.” So if we did not support Israel, every American household would have an extra $200,000 in cash, let that sink in.

He was rushed to Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital. Police reported on Wednesday night he had since died.
DeSantis rips Harris again for butting into Milton response: ‘No role in this process’
“I’ve been dealing with these storms in Florida under both [Donald] Trump and [President] Biden. Neither of them ever politicized it,” DeSantis told CNBC’s “Squawk Box”
Officially, police are holding him “on suspicion of serious security offenses for publicly publishing… the locations of missile drops near or inside sensitive security facilities, with the aim of bringing this to the notice of the enemy and thereby assisting them in their future attacks.”
The charges stem from Jeremy’s report for @TheGrayzoneNews showing the aftermath of Iranian attacks on military and intelligence targets inside Israel—the same exact locations which were openly featured in reports broadcast on ABC News and PBS, neither of which currently face such charges.
Originally, the judge overseeing Jeremy’s case ordered him released, saying that since Israeli military censors agreed to allow Israeli media to publish both “word of [Jeremy’s] arrest and the publications that led to his arrest,” Israel could “no longer justify his continued detention.”
However, police appealed this decision. For now, Jeremy remains in custody, and his appeal hearing is scheduled for tomorrow.
The Grayzone unequivocally rejects these outrageous accusations from Israeli police. We stand by Jeremy’s legitimate reporting. The claim that Loffredo and The Grayzone represent Israel’s enemy in wartime merely suggests that the Israeli government views the American people and free press as a legitimate target. We represent no one else. We will fight these charges, and ask that you contact the State Department and urge them to act in defense of their citizen detained in Israel. The US has an obligation to defend its journalists who are merely adhering to their ethical obligation to inform the public of pertinent facts.”

I sincerely doubt that this deal would have even eventuated if it were not for the fact that, about a month ago, President Donald J. Trump indicated he would be willing to pardon Julian Assange if he won the next election (and it wasn’t stolen from him).
Notable too that, on his recent Australian tour, Tucker Carlson highlighted the freeing of Assange, as though some ‘crumbs of freedom’, to ‘feed the chooks’, as they say.
Israeli settlers force Palestinian olive farmers from land in West Bank
The Wafa news agency reports that armed Israeli settlers forced olive farmers off their land in Jalud village, south of Nablus in the occupied West Bank, on Saturday morning, amid threats that included “opening fire in the area”.
Threats, attacks, theft of olives and the destruction of olive trees by settlers have escalated in the West Bank with the arrival of the harvest season, Wafa reports.
On Thursday, Israeli right group Yesh Din released video footage of an armed Israeli settler openly stealing the olive harvest from a privately owned farm in the Palestinian town of Awarta, southeast of Nablus.
Each year at harvest time, Palestinians face a heightened wave of attacks and damage to their trees, the rights group said. Israeli soldiers are often present during such violence and sometimes join in attacks on Palestinian farmers, Yesh Din said.
