Umm, could it be that some folks are mad at the near 40:1 Palestinian:Israeli death ratio since Oct 7th that “we” have been consciously and intentionally increasing?
I think “we” need to step back and see how “our” response makes “us” look to the world.
Could it be they are wrongly blaming IDF, and Israel, for the dastardly works of Satan's puppet Hamas? I think the world are who need to step back, open their eyes and ears, and LEARN TRUTH!
If stopping Arafat was anyone's misguided intent, that person or those persons had zero understanding of Islam and its adherents, but back in those yrs, Israel went through a spate of "Bidenesque" leaders, who might have been just that dumb indeed. However, trying to lay that on Bibi now, is like blaming Reagan for "Biden": totally illogical! He's trying to rectify that. As a Christian, Yhwh God's truth is my desire as well. As a military veteran and child of 2 veterans, an EMS 1st responder and RN, I understand the concepts of war, and triage, including that there are times when very tough and painful decisions have to be made, and that currently Bibi is in exactly that kind of spot: however he moves, large swaths of people will hate what he's doing. He has to weigh the negative world view based on Islamic lies (taqqiya and kitman), the pleas of the families of those still hostage, the lives of all the citizens of Gaza, and of all the citizens of Israel, AND the long stated goals of Islam, and somehow chart a course through that "minefield" to the best humanly possible outcome for all involved! I can tell you, that's a job I would not wish on anyone, but if anyone can accomplish it, it will be Bibi Netanyahu! And even if he succeeds in accomplishing that, many around the world will still hate him and revile him for it!
I have always supported Israel, until now. This bloody massacre of the Palestinians is uncalled for and a genocide very much like the Holocaust. THAT is what the world is seeing right now and demanding Israel to stop!
Katherine, you are listening to propaganda! Yes "Palestinians", civilian and terrorist alike, ARE dying, but the problem is, the numbers are fed by a Hamas controlled agency, whose task is to make Israel look like the " evil one", so unreliable, for starters. Then there is the fact that Hamas holds civilians in target areas that they KNOW Israel must destroy: weapons platforms, munitions caches, leaders' hideouts and communications centers. And if the civilians try to escape to safer places HAMAS shoots them! IDF is the only military in HISTORY, to my knowledge, that has sent out warnings before bombing or shelling a target, even to the point of telephoning civilians' private phones, to warn them away, but to stop the frequent attacks on their own people, those targets MUST be taken out! If they are left, they will be turned against Israeli civilians in future! 75+ yrs of history prove that! What the world is seeing is the LIES that Islam, whose goal is STILL global conquest, and a world caliphate, wants them to see, and they are too lazy, or evil minded, to look for truth. Please don't be1 of those turning against Israel over those lies?
No, the entirety of Islam, the UK leadership, especially in the late 19thand early 20th century, and probably the League of Nations, as well as the western gov'ts and UN just after WW II hold guilt in it too.
I know. Thus the term, “Christian Zionist”. 😉 And, I do not put Jews and Zionists necessarily in the same category. Not all Jews are Zionists, and not all Zionists are Jews. That is my humble opinion.
I do condemn all genocide/killing. And what is the value of a human life? Is it truly about numbers? Is 11 lives more important than 5 lives? Do 1000 lives mean more than 999? I truly do not understand my fellow human beings, sharing the Earth with me anymore. This is why I go to Nature, not man. I can only change myself.
Why is it that whenever someone like Etana posts a simple, poignant statement to commemorate the tragic murder of millions of Jews, there are always people hanging around just waiting to write some nasty smear denouncing Israel and the Jews? They probably think of themselves as striking a blow for something—truth, freedom, justice, equality or some other noble value. They don't realize that desecrating the memory of slaughtered, innocent souls is about as low as a human being can sink.
If there is an afterlife, I wish that they are constrained for long hours to watch strangers pass by and spit on their graves.
Having had the pleasure of engaging with some of the "misguided people out there," I have a suggestion: You should establish some perimeter defense to keep them "out there." If you want to be able to host conversations about matters of importance to Jews, Israel and people of good will in general, you will inevitably attract the trolls and bottom-feeders who seek to disrupt conversation and spread their poison. They will not be influenced by facts that disprove their libelous accusations because they are not seeking truth or reconciliation. Their goal is to promote antisemitic hatred, and they are not that hard to identify. Warn them once when they cross the line, and block them on a second offense. Otherwise they will try to turn every Israel-friendly substack, like yours, into another Columbia University campus.
They expose themselves as ignorant and hateful when they open their mouths.
I'm not ashamed of what I write, and it's open to anyone who wants to read it. I'm not afraid of trolls, and thankfully, I have so many supportive and loving comments as well!
It is Jews who have caused created all the division with their sick Frankfurt school ideologies....Stop with the Jew victim nonsense.
Jew bankers funded all sides WW1-2 so Jews were solely responsible for all the deaths and the planned destruction of N America and Western Europe.
People are wise to the Jews agendas and goals and now rightfully so the Jews are panicking.
The whole covid military operation was controlled entirely by the Jews... media tech finance pharma military etc this is reason Ukraine started and why Oct 7 inside job was carried out....all planned to distract the masses from their global covid crime...but people have started to educate themselves and put the pieces together and the Jews only defence is to beat the tired antisemitism drum which masses have also woken up to.
Like the saying goes Jews strike a person then cry in pain!
Do you think Jews are the only people in civilization that have suffered in life? Jews do not have a carte blanche on pain and suffering. Spitting on anyone’s grave isn’t loving. Yet, you want unconditional understanding. Blame goes to all of humanity that allows this. And that is the problem. INDIVIDUAL change must occur. I’m not on ANY group’s side. Only LOVE…
I have no love for antisemites. They are the scum of the earth. Just a small step above them are the people who are jealous when anyone expresses sympathy for Jewish suffering.
Perhaps Sam it is because the ‘holocaust’ has been turned into an industry in order to continually justify the past and current Israeli government psychopathy. It’ very simple, you either support genocide or you don’t:
There is no genocide going on in Gaza. None. There is no starvation. People who believe otherwise are victims of Palestinian propaganda. There's no point discussing this with them because if they bothered to learn anything real, they would have no basis for hating the Jews. And since this is what's most precious in their lives, they will not give it up without a fight. And, needless to say, talking to people who have been infected by viral antisemitism is like trying to convince a scorpion not to sting.
No one is "justifying" anything! The trouble is you are laying blame for the "genocide" in Gaza at the WRONG doorstep! Hamas is the perpetrator, not Israel, who has been set up in an impossible trap: either stand by, and let the MB continue killing them off, due to global "perception"; or fight back how they are forced to do by Hamas policies, and let the world blame them as genocidal, when, in fact, it is Hamas responsible for EVERY "Palestinian" death in Gaza! There IS no "win" for Israel in this game of lies and hate!
Your fighting the globalists war they planned October 7th and now are sacrificing our soldiers for their 2030 great reset new world order agenda do your research
You seem to miss the point entirely, Ian. Yom HaShoah is a day when Jews mourn the death of six million members of their religious community who were murdered during WWII. And you feel obligated to intrude with accusations about Sabbateans and false flags and other burning issues. Imagine being at your father's funeral service and having some guy come in off the street and start shouting that your dad had unpaid parking tickets!!
You just can't see how utterly boorish and classless this is, can you?
Jews funded all sides WW1-2 and the 6 million figure proven to be lies....no evidence at all.
270 000 est deaths due to typhus and starvation due to Jew funded US UK troops cutting supplies to camps...Jews using same tactic today in Gaza but you are obviously blind to this.
Educate yourself because you are a very good example of a useful idiot.
The Muslim Brotherhood and Islam created Hamas, Hezbollah, Al Nusra, Boko Haram, CAIR, and hundreds of other hate groups around the world waging war against all the rest of humanity through a variety of avenues!
And you don't think those could be infiltrated lies and propaganda to make Israel look bad, for a leftist globalist agenda of destroying Israel and Jewish people whom most of the world has been hating for millennia?
May G_d bless you and keep you and make His face shine upon you and give you peace. Amen.
Eloquent, clear-eyed truth. Thank you, Etana.
To her words I would add only Psalm 124, written thousands of years ago but even more true today:
1 "Had it not been the LORD who was on our side,”
-- Let Israel say --
2 “Had it not been the LORD who was on our side
When people rose up against us,
3 Then they would have swallowed us alive,
When their anger was kindled against us;
4 Then the waters would have flooded over us,
The stream would have swept over our souls;
5 Then the raging waters would have swept over our souls.”
6 Blessed be the LORD,
Who has not given us to be torn by their teeth.
7 Our souls have escaped like a bird from the trapper’s snare;
The snare is broken and we have escaped.
8 Our help is in the name of the LORD,
Who made heaven and earth.

Some are learning Truth…https://www.globalresearch.ca/flashback-ron-paul-hamas-started-israel/5835470
And there is much more out there! As a Christian, I simply want Truth. Love is the ONLY answer.

Israel created Hamas you fool
No they did not; some of the leaders may have USED Hamas, but MB "created " it, just like the dozens of others of like ilk!
The problem is sniveling little antisemites who start to twitch and spew their poison whenever Jews are mentioned,
Where are these long dead Sabbateans "living"?
Sabbateans WERE Roman era so yes, long dead!
As a Christian, I cannot support genocide/ethnic cleansing of ANY human beings. It ALL must stop (all of the ME).
The go after the ones doing it: HAMAS!
If you truly think that Hamas is the only guilty party in this fiasco, I suggest you read some unadulterated history. Is that even possible anymore?
No, the entirety of Islam, the UK leadership, especially in the late 19thand early 20th century, and probably the League of Nations, as well as the western gov'ts and UN just after WW II hold guilt in it too.
I know. Thus the term, “Christian Zionist”. 😉 And, I do not put Jews and Zionists necessarily in the same category. Not all Jews are Zionists, and not all Zionists are Jews. That is my humble opinion.
This clash between Old Testament God and New Testament God is getting really interesting.
For me, I answer to God/Creator. I leave religion (organized, man made) out of my life.
I am totally against what is occurring in Ukraine! I find it sickening.
Humans have technology, yet humans still cannot learn to LOVE.
Division, power, greed, eGO rules the world today. I want no part of it, personally.
I want to be a child of Light…our true purpose Leslie.
I do condemn all genocide/killing. And what is the value of a human life? Is it truly about numbers? Is 11 lives more important than 5 lives? Do 1000 lives mean more than 999?

You do realize that Arabs are Semites, as well as other cultures/countries in the ME, right?

Do your own research.
Changing the meaning of words is very Orwellian “1984”, no?
Jealous? Lol! That’s the dumbest thing I’ve heard all day. 😂
What would Jesus say?
Jesus would say, "Drink deep from the Pierian spring: a little knowledge is a dangerous thing."
We love you too ♥️

I just want to know if the IDF and Israel took real Pfizer.
If so, nothing can stop their demise. If not, they have committed the most monstrous crime in history.
Yhwh God CAN, and will!

Typical zionist response 🥴

What Ian stated is proven.
Proven by whom? MB propagandists? Wiki-anything is a broken reed, not to be leaned on, lest you fall.
You are biased. Therefore, Truth is a moot point, wouldn’t you agree?
Indeed, you are!
