I live in the woods. No houses in sight. Off grid. Haul my water. Split my wood - sometimes with a gas-powered splitter, but last year, I split all 5+ cords by myself with a maul. Stacked it, hauled it in. I’m no sissy. Not all Americans are the type that I’m ashamed of being associated with, but I AM ashamed of this country and my “fellow”-Americans. Most of them, at least. They have no clue about what real life is like in their sterile houses and offices. I have made almost every bookcase and trunk and kitchen shelf in my cabin with hand tools. I eat organic food. Almost 100% of the meat I eat is what I have raised (chickens, cows, sheep). I quit processed white sugar in 1996 and eat honey and maple syrup (often homemade). I have never done drugs. I’ve never even drunk alcohol. So be careful about assuming too much just because of the country of one’s birth.
Always go to the source. Hansard (record of conversations in UK Parliament) will tell you how the British planned to use Palestine to rid Europe of Jews. Israel was built on antisemitism and terrorism - or resistance to the occupation by the British Occupiers. Hamas now resists the Occupation by the Anglo-US Empire. Israel has nothing to do with Jews or Judaism - this is used as a shield to hide the real reason for its existence. RFK Jr spilled the beans somewhat when he admitted 'Israel is useful for us...our bulwark...like having an aircraft-carrier in the mid-east'. The Empire cares not for Jews nor Palestinians. Just for its interests in the region.
I understand. The comments I read under this article did not interest me either, so I didn’t read very many.
“Never again” seems to have morphed into “right now.” I am continually surprised and dismayed by the populace’s willingness, even eagerness, to believe terrorists’ reports, data, claims, etc. - to wave their flags and chant their hateful slogans. Sadly for them, but thankfully for justice, the world will answer to God for what they do.
B’reishit/Genesis 12:2-3. “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. 3I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you; and all the families of the earth will be blessed through you.”
As far as “let’s focus on the current facts”…. That would be a great idea except that so many people are believing terrorists and new world order sources for their “facts.”
That concept reminds me of a conversation my son was having with a friend of ours many years ago. They were discussing WWII and my son was trying to explain the previous history leading up to WWII. Our friend insisted that he just stick to the topic at hand and not go back. WWII did not happen in a vacuum. To ignore anything previous to an event is impossible if you really want to get the whole picture.
The history of the Middle East goes back thousands of years. The documented history, as told in Torah, pretty much begins in the verses I quoted above.
One highly significant current fact is hat there are hostages being held by Hamas, presumably in Gaza unless they have been taken through the tunnels into Egypt.
Another pertinent fact is the goal of Hamas from its founding - to eradicate the Jews.
I am very busy and I don’t have time to argue this back and forth. I did notice you seem to have lots of time to make extensive comments. I don’t. I’m sorry. I can recommend a man on YouTube who goes by “Traveling Israel.” He has lots of good videos about the history and politics of the Middle East.
Neither the Bible nor the Torah are historical documents. The Bible is a set of parables to live by. There are many versions of both, written hundreds of years apart. You might try the following Jewish voices: The Bible Unearthed by Israel Finkelstein (carbon-dating) and The Invention of the Jewish People by Shlomo Sand. Also, the October7.org witness statements from those on the ground in Israel on that fateful day. IDF tanks fired into buildings killing Kibbutz residents. This has been reported in Times of Israel and Haaretz.
you in America know it better: intoxicated by sugars and processed foods. And always have a crack on every street corner to finish you off.

I read some. I read enough.
