Ed Decker (born 1935) is an ex-Mormon with an evangelistic agenda to expose the errors inherent in the Church of Jesus Christ Latter Day Saints (Mormonism). His website is Saints Alive In Jesus (https://saintsalive.com/) which may take awhile to load because I think it is undergoing renovations or upgrades (there is a PayPal donation page labeled “FINISH WEBSITE”).
I subscribe to Ed’s monthly newsletter. Although I regard Mormons as very moral people (except for their spin-off cults that still practice polygamy, near-child marriages meaning pedophilia); HOWEVER, Mormon doctrine is closer to ancient Gnosticism than it is the mainstream doctrines of Christianity. Until the Saints Alive website finishes its upgrades, it might be difficult to access Ed Decker’s exposés on Mormonism. Just to be upfront, Ed Decker is a bit controversial, undoubtedly among the Mormon faithful, but even other critics of Mormonism evidently claim Ed Decker might be overboard in his criticism. I have not noticed that myself, but I’m not an expert either. The Wikipedia entry for Ed Decker (as of this writing last updated 2/18/24) provides a rare decent profile with some pluses and minuses (which is where I acquired the Ed Decker photo). From Ed Decker’s Facebook page I discovered a 2014 Blogger post entitled, “Why I left the Mormon Church” by Ed Decker. AND SINCE the Ed Decker website might be difficult to access for a while, here’s a couple of posts that align with my thoughts on Mormonism:
Because of what Ed Decker typically teaches on, I felt the need to run a mini-intro on what he does. What I’m about to share are the opening words of Ed Decker’s May E-Newsletter that I finally read but received 5/2/24. The E-Newsletter title is simply “Saints Alive May Newsletter”. BUT THE CONTENT centers around Antisemitism, the Hamas atrocities committed on October 7, 2023, and Ed Deckers observations on the horrors of war that occur between victors and losers roughly from WWII to this present day from the perspective that Ed Decker has a Jewish Heritage. I discover for the first time Ed Decker’s Mother apparently was Jewish. I surmise this from a quote in the last paragraph of the E-Newsletter:
“Finally, you need to know that my mother’s Jewish family fled Europe at the end of the 1890s, during the first holocaust. The majority of the rest of her family died in the holocaust of WWII. This battle to destroy the Jews is not a remote issue to me. It’s part of my broken heart. The heart that Jesus healed.”
The only I lean to disagreeing with Ed is what he says about the Arabs who call themselves Palestinians:
“And during all this time, the Palestinian people have suffered tremendously.”
NUMBER ONE: Acceding that a nationality of the existence of a Palestinian people is a lying deception. READ THIS:
NUMBER TWO: The Arabs that call themselves Palestinians have been offered a Statehood in which Israel has nothing to do with financially supporting an independent government infrastructure for those Arabs desiring an independent State, but have rejected such independence on Land Promised by God to Jews. WHY? Because Arabs calling themselves Palestinians are dedicated to the eradication of all Jews in the Land Promised by the Almighty according to the Covenant made with Abraham through his descendants flowing through Isacc and Jacob. That Arab HATE is so prevalent, those people are fully supportive every act of terrorist atrocities committed against Jews in Israel to the point of acting as HUMAN SHIELDS placing their own children in harms way as the Israeli military finally weary of Jew-Hating Arabs seeks to root out the terrorists by all means necessary. I have zero sympathy for such Arab thinking:
Hamas Charter: Please Note – MidEastWeb provides the Hamas Charter and introduction for your information. MidEastWeb does not support Hamas!! [of HATE]; mideastweb.org [Great Info but website still uses http insecure protocol]

Saints Alive May Newsletter
Western Wall of Temple Mount Ruins [Saints Alive E-Newsletter Photo]
During one of my trips to Israel decades ago, I toured Gaza before Israel turned it over to the Palestinians in 2005. It was a flourishing, healthy land then. I was impressed by the orchards and the farmland, as well as the overall prosperity I saw and experienced firsthand there.
Not long after, Gaza was subsequently put in the hands of Hamas, a terrorist regime elected by the people there, it began to look like a ravaged land. I saw pictures of the same places I visited, but now it had become a woeful skeleton of what it once was. The Palestinian people are clearly suffering and really have no escape other than peace with Israel as other Islamic states and countries such as Egypt will not offer any help or way of escape.
The billions of dollars of aid did not trickle down to the people and the land. Instead, the major amounts were spent on destruction. They built massive tunnels and stockpiled massive amounts of rockets and missiles that began to rain down on Israel almost on a daily basis. Tens of thousands of them, while all the world, and particularly America kept cautioning Israel to not respond in kind. And during all this time, the Palestinian people have suffered tremendously.
The attack on October 7th changed everything. The scope, brutality and horror of that day changed Israel forever. They said no more. They said Hamas must be fully routed out and they went to war.
Let me say that there are no winners in any war. I was a youngster during WWII but remember more than I should of the destruction and deaths. I saw the films of American and Allied bombers dropping so many thousands of bombs into German cities, indiscriminately killing German citizens along with the factories.
I remember when the United States dropped the Atomic bomb Japan, killing 90,000 to 146,000 people in Hiroshima and 60,000 to 80,000 people in Nagasaki. I was there for the Korean War and the Viet Nam War and few more. Each of them brought atrocities, destruction and horror.
We brought the Japanese to their knees, but at what cost to both sides.
American deaths in WWII were about 141,000American ground troops were killed in Europe — more than twice the number of those killed in the Pacific. An additional 42,500 were killed in the skies and at sea
Almost a quarter of a million families with dead sons, daughters, mothers, and fathers. War is brutal and barbaric. It is horror personified.
Today, we can only pray for peace. In fact, the Bible clearly tells us to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
Pray forthe peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you be secure.
We can only hope that those weapons of war, the missiles, and the rockets from Gaza and from the Hezbollah from the north and the hundreds of missiles from Iran and Lebanon and those from Israel responding to its lethal enemies will all soon fall quiet, and peace will reign across the entire Mideast. That is my earnest prayer today.
My Heart is filled with a grim dread at what happened October 7th in Israel and what is happening right now in Gaza, will happen right here in America. I see the hatred spewing towards our Jewish citizens and especially those in colleges, universities and even in high schools. America is fast becoming the Germany of the late 1930s. Unfortunately, History repeats itself and that is due in part that the history books are written by the victors, thus neglecting both sides of the conflict, we end up with a perpetual cycle of revenge generations later.
I picked up my book, Crescent Moon Rising and skimmed through it today. I was amazed to see that the things that I said would be coming with the uncontrolled masses of Muslims pouring into the United States are already happening. The outrage and all the screaming, incoherent curses against America and its Universities isn’t going to change a light bulb in Israel or Gaza. While as Americans we are barely able to protect our Freedom of Religion.
Sharia Law is NOT compatible with the US Constitution, nor is Sharia Law compatible with the Bill of Rights. We must respect this fundamental truth and act accordingly by sharing the Gospel personally with LOVE for Muslims, and civically with our votes.
As Christians, we must keep a Godly perspective about all of this. Jesus died for every Muslim in Gaza, and in America as did He for every Jew in Israel and America. We need to look at this turmoil through His eyes and pray for peace with the knowledge that such prayers are our certain responsibility.
Finally, you need to know that my mother’s Jewish family fled Europe at the end of the 1890s, during the first holocaust. The majority of the rest of her family died in the holocaust of WWII. This battle to destroy the Jews is not a remote issue to me. It’s part of my broken heart. The heart that Jesus healed.
At age 67, I remember younger days watching old WWII movies and Documentaries showing the atrocities Jews went through via The Final Solution agenda of German Nazis and their leader Adolf Hitler. The scenes of atrocities are embedded in my mind evoking disgust at the sight of seeing Jews rounded up across Europe as the Nazi war machine spread like a deadly demonic cancer: Violence, murders, rapes, thefts, Concentration Death Camps, Medical Experiments – just off the top of mind-recollection. IT WAS HORRIFIC!
I am appalled people in Western Societies are allowing a resurgence of such Jew-Hatred. ESPECIALLY at the hands of Muslims and Arabs-Who-Call-Themselves-Palestinians (no such historical people ever existed) who have encoded Jew-Hatred in their revered writings (Quran, Hadith & Sira – SEE HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE & HERE) from the days Jews rejected Muhammad as a Prophet. Muhammad then proceeded to slaughter Jews in the Arabian Peninsula [SA: HERE & HERE] in Muslim conquests first usage of ethnic cleansing to those refusing conversion to Islam. This was over a thousand years before Hitler and his Mein Kampf racial superiority creed.
How does a Jewish identity survive when history AND the Holy Bible shows thousands of years of efforts to exterminate people who identify themselves (whether Observant, non-Observant, Atheistic-yet-cling-to-identity, or etc.) as associated with Judaism. A religion in this present time so-called after the largest surviving Hebrew Tribe after the Babylonian Captivity.
(If one does the math, one probably wonders why traditionally there are 12-Tribes of the Hebrews instead of 13. Part of that reason is the Priestly Tribe of Levi were never allotted Land. The Levite Tribe was to be dedicated to Temple Service. The Tribe that would have been “Joseph” was then divided into two separate Tribes yet often called the half-tribe of Ephraim and the half-tribe of Manasseh. Those two tribes were a part of the Ten northern Tribes lost in history after Assyrian conquest and deportation.)
The Kingdom of Judah conquered by Babylon consisted of Judah and Benjamin and the Temple Levites. From Judah comes the term Jew. I’m not going to waste my time arguing between ethnicity and religious faith. That argument probably has been a thorn in the flesh of Jewish people and culture especially since the Romans forced a mass deportation of the faithful after the last Jewish revolt to Roman Rule circa 130s AD (or CE for you secular fanatics).
I have no doubt the flux of Jews settling in foreign lands contributed to a bit of assimilation to the gene pool of those foreign lands while retaining a Rabbinical Judaism. Shucks pilgrim, I can even speculate an infusion of non-Hebraic converts to Judaism occurred willing to undergo the rigor needed to becoming Jewish. Not an easy task since for male converts, that meant completing the conversion with the Covenant of Circumcision (Covenant-Keeping Orthodox Explanation at Chabad.org and lesser requirements of “Liberal” [I read Left-Wing Torah compromising] conversion that are Conservative and Reform Judaism).
Certainly Jew-Haters will disagree with my belief (theory) about Jewish Redemption in Christ. But at least dwell on a bit of honesty, trusting in Jews having an Abrahamic Covenant last minute choice in finding their Messiah in Jesus is far better than brutalizing all Jews with hate in this life.
Seek to be a Christ Follower in this Life toward all humankind, to the Jew First, then the non-Jew (Biblically labeled as Gentiles) and toward those claiming to be Christ-Follower.
5 [1]Therefore, having been justified by faith, [a]we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces [b]perseverance; 4 and perseverance, [c]character; and character, hope. 5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
6 For when we were still without strength, [d]in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. 10 For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. 11 And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

We are all watching the keffiyeh-wearing, terrorist-sympathizing, blithering idiots demonstrating on US campuses, disrupting daily lives, and calling for a final solution.
Genocide in Gaza is a fabrication by Hamas, a terrorist group, that is throwing out numbers without any facts to support them and the Muslim Brotherhood operating under the Muslim Student Association, indicted in the Holy Land Trial, pushing this lie across every campus where they have a presence.
Where is the outrage from these sympathizers when…
Five and a half million people massacred in Congo and Sudan?
Millions of Sudanese currently displaced and more than 14,000 people killed while eight convoys are blocked from getting aid to their people?
400,000 Yemenis killed and more than half the population is now in need of humanitarian assistance because of war in Yemen?
500,000 people killed in Syria?
300,000 people killed in Iraq?
250,000 people killed in Afghanistan?
Tens of thousands of Burmese forced to flee and 25% of the population is facing hunger and illness due to war in the region?
Where is your outrage over true genocides happening worldwide?
Do these people have zero value to you?
The reality is what we’re seeing right now in America is pure Jew-hatred.
It has nothing to do with genocide.
This is about their desire to see a Holocaust in our lifetime. This is their end goal.
They hate Jews so much that they are calling out loud in America in 2024 for the final solution.
We are not going to allow them to get away with this.

This Oscar-winning documentary examines the conditions for Jewish refugees after World War II, from their aspirations to emigrate to the reality of continued antisemitism.
Starring: Morgan Freeman, Israel Lau, Livia Shacter Directed by: Mark Jonathan Harris
Why did God choose the people of Israel to be a “royal priesthood” and a “holy nation” (Exodus 19:5)? Was it because of something inherently good in them? Was it because they were better than other peoples? The Lord answered this question directly, saying, “The LORD did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples. But it was because the LORD loved you and kept the oath he swore to your ancestors that he brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the land of slavery, from the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt.” (Deuteronomy 7:7–8)
Paul addressed this as well, writing, “For he says to Moses, ‘I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.’ It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.” (Romans 9:15-16)
In short, Israel was chosen because of the sovereignty of God, not because of Israel’s own merit.
He set His love on Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and determined to bless the world through their offspring, meaning through the people of Israel and ultimately, through the seed of Abraham par excellence, Jesus the Messiah. And because He made unconditional promises to the patriarchs, He has kept His word through the generations, preserving the people of Israel, disciplining them, scattering them, and regathering them.
That’s the only reason we are still here (I say this as a Jewish person myself), and that’s why we are back in the Land today. This is by the sovereign will of God.
As He stated explicitly, “This is what the LORD says, he who appoints the sun to shine by day, who decrees the moon and stars to shine by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar— the LORD Almighty is his name: ‘Only if these decrees vanish from my sight,’ declares the LORD, ‘will Israel ever cease being a nation before me.’ This is what the LORD says: ‘Only if the heavens above can be measured and the foundations of the earth below be searched out will I reject all the descendants of Israel because of all they have done.’” (Jeremiah 31:35–37)
There you have it. Israel will be preserved as a people no matter what.
We have been (and will be) judged and punished for our sins. But we will be preserved. So says the Lord.
As for Israel boasting in its own righteousness, the Lord actually said to the prophet Ezekiel, “You are not being sent to a people of obscure speech and strange language, but to the people of Israel— not to many peoples of obscure speech and strange language, whose words you cannot understand. Surely if I had sent you to them, they would have listened to you. But the people of Israel are not willing to listen to you because they are not willing to listen to me, for all the Israelites are hardened and obstinate.” (Ezekiel 3:5–7)
In short, He said, “If I sent you to prophesy to the nations, they would listen. But not My own chosen people!”
Paul reiterated this in the clearest possible terms, writing to Gentile Christians in Rome, “As far as the gospel is concerned, they [meaning the people of Israel who rejected Jesus as Messiah] are enemies for your sake; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs, for God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable.” (Romans 11:28–29)
Israel remains elect and chosen for God’s sovereign purpose and plan. Israel still has a mission in the earth.
This does not mean that individual Jews are guaranteed salvation. Not for a moment. All of us, Jew and Gentile alike, have fallen short because of our sins, and all of us need mercy through the cross.
But this does mean that, despite Israel’s failings, God’s giftings to them remain intact and His election of them remains secure. He does not change His mind.
This should be a great comfort to Christians, a visible demonstration in the earth of the faithfulness of God. If He makes a promise, He will keep it, despite our failings and sins and shortcomings.
We stand by His goodness, not our own, by His mercy, not our righteousness. We, too, live by grace.
Unfortunately, many Christians take umbrage at the idea that the Jewish people are still chosen in any way, despite the explicit testimony of Scripture. They see this as somehow unfair.
To the contrary, God’s choosing of Israel is a reminder of His sovereignty, a testimony to His perseverance, and an ongoing, real-life example of the promise-keeping nature of our Lord.
Rather than grumbling about this, we should rejoice, recognizing that if God could break His promises to Israel, He could break His promises to the Church.
Thank God that is not who He is, and when you look at Israel today – the people worldwide and the nation in the Middle East – you’re looking at the sovereignty of God in action, right until this moment.
He can be trusted – fully.

UP FRONT:I suspect this post will inspire Jew-Haters on the Left, the Right and any in between to hurl epithets of disparagement and profanity (an indication of low intelligence) in comment sections of my Blogs or Social Media. Well boo-hoo, I’ll be blocking the low-thinkers and I will not even attempt to change those minds. I’ve tried in the past and discovered it’s a useless effort toward the dedicated Antisemite.
I rarely watch television MSM News these days, so I have not seen the coverage of college campus protests supporting the Hamas butchers as Israel has entered Gaza to punish pseudo-Palestinians for the October 7, 2023 genocide of Jewish men, women and children. [For the Jew-Hating Terrorism-Deniers and Pro-Israel Supporters alike: SEE HERE (ONLY available at CPCR due censorship), HERE, HERE, HERE & HERE.]
And I am not surprised by American Dem-Marxists and EU Leftists accusing Israel of genocide as so-called pseudo-Palestinian civilians have perished acting as Human Shields for Hamas terrorists. Yet there are numerous Conservatives such as Mike Adams (just example of many who come to mind) calling out the actions of Israel as the Gaza or ‘Palestinian’ genocide. That astounds me because most of those Conservatives berating Israel are otherwise people I admire for writing and speaking against Medical Tyranny, the Dem-Marxist political persecution of MAGA supporters and the Globalist Agenda of a ONE-World Government despotism.
When I hear the idiocy that protesters are calling for freedom when Hamas and pseudo-Palestinians in general are calling for Israel’s destruction. THAT’S NOT FREEDOM! THAT’S EVIL!
What I’m seeing on Leftist-brainwashed American campuses and across the once-upon-a-time Free World, is a Globalist instigation of social chaos all related to pushing for another World War. Alert Americans – at least – are becoming aware the Ukraine-Russia War is not only a lost cause wasteful of American taxpayer money, but also the government in Ukraine is among the most corrupt in Europe (God have mercy on the common Ukrainian citizens enduring that despotic corruption).
If the Ukraine cause is lost in causing a World War, what’s the next Globalist incitement step? VILLIFY ISRAEL by resurrecting bad old-fashioned Jew-Hating Antisemitism.
As a student of History (I actually have a Bachelor of Arts Degree in History), what is happening at this moment in time is eerily reminiscent of the social blaming against Jews in the USA and Europe in the decades between WWI and WWII.
Something to think about: The UK and France did not go to war with Hitler’s Nazi-Germany because der Fuhrer began rounding up Jews, Gypsies, the mentally deficient, Communists and so on; rather the UK and France were concerned about Germany’s expansionist agenda in Europe. The combined German and then ally Communist USSR invasion of Poland signaled to the UK and France that self-preservation was at stake. When Hitler pulled a just-kidding on alliance with Stalin coupled with siding with Japan against the USA, it was only a matter of time that resources that Hitler could not touch would be his demise.
Even so, the Nazis proceeded to exterminate as many Jews as they could (around SIX-MILLION) and what people do not realize another one-to-ten million considered-undesirables of the Nazi regime were also exterminated (Evidently historians are in disagreement on quantifying Nazi non-Jewish extermination. You can read some of those positions HERE, HERE,HERE & HERE).
John-Q-Public was not really made aware of Nazi extermination of Jews until after WWII when the death camps became a part of the Press Cycle. This is when the shame of Antisemitism began to emerge in the social conscience of the once-upon-a-time Free World.
So, how has Antisemitism once again reared it’s ugly-wicked-evil head again in the social consciousness in the confines of the once-upon-a-time Free World? As one might expect, Antisemitism reemergence has not been an overnight phenomenon.
I’m hardly a sociologist expert, but I can hazard an educated guess. Globalist ONE-World Government tyranny has been an aspiration for quite some time. And a part of that aspiration is to stir the world-wide pot causing forms of chaos leading to mass dissent which individual sovereign governments could have difficulty in managing. Especially when that management has led to a shredding of the constitutional rule of law by instituting Bureaucratic unaccountable rules and regulations exacting despotic processes nullifying legal redress in the name of imposed WOKE social norms. An example in the USA was race-baiting chaos of Antifa/BLM rioting and after that unconstitutional COVID Lockdowns and Mandates removal American Civil Rights. Add to that an Election Coup empowering Dem-Marxists in the Executive Branch and a politicized Judicial Branch to politically persecute Biblical Christians, MAGA Supporters and those who revere American Patriotism.
The goal of Globalist Elitists looking for ONE-World control is to neutralize dissent. One of the best ways to neutralize dissent are Endless Wars and the vilification of certain Classes of people. I already mentioned that Class of people in America. In the case of WORLD-WIDE, that vilification falls upon Jews. And though Jews live all over the once-upon-a-time Free World, that makes Jewish-State of Israel at target of the Globalist Elitists.
The irony is that many of the Globalist Elitists supporting this agenda are themselves people of a Jewish heritage. And most of these Leftist Jews have abandoned their Covenant relationship with the Almighty via atheism (embracing Marxism in many cases) or have watered down their Judaism via Reformed theology. Thus Leftist Jews practicing a diluted Judaism accept immoral godless concepts as the LGBTQ movement and Baby-Killing (aka Abortion) as normal.
As a side note: The Covenant of Promises flowing through Abraham becomes important through some clarity in the Fall of Adam and Eve from intimate fellowship the Almighty Creator. So let’s take a look at the Fall and the prophetic Word about Satan’s – the Deceiver – ultimate demise.
3 1Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”
2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; 3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’ ”
4 Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. 5 For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was[a]pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.
The Deceiver thus deceived. Adam and Eve did not die physically, died spiritually by becoming separated from the Almighty and transferring the authority God gave to Adam by rebellion to Satan.
THEN the Fallen Nature of Adam and Eve becomes apparent as the finger-pointing blame game ensues.
“Because you have done this, You are cursed more than all cattle, And more than every beast of the field; On your belly you shall go, And you shall eat dust All the days of your life.
15 And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel.”
Verse 15 is the key to understand Satan’s agenda to attempt to thwart a “Seed” being born from a woman that will smack Satan’s head around and stomp Satan so hard with HIS feet, that the MAN’s heel is bruised. ALSO NOTE the part of verse 15 that God Almighty said, “And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed”.
In verse 15 the Almighty is not speaking of a human female’s egg, rather HE is speaking of the Divine “Seed” HE Divinely implants (NOT a sex act but rather a Holy placement) in a chosen female’s egg. A kind of Divine in vitro process.
THUS, Satan was made fully aware – because the ALMIGHTY informed him – that a human produced by Divine Seed in a fertilized female’s egg was to become the source of rebellious Satan’s undoing.
Satan’s awareness of how the Almighty would bring about his demise as the stolen lease lord of the Earth was to find ways to warp the DNA of humanity (Gen. 6: 1-8). When that didn’t work, Satan kept his evil eye out for the human female who might be the chosen vessel for the Divine “Seed”.
The Almighty’s Covenant with Abraham narrowed Satan’s search.
Satan began the process of attempting to corrupt and/or destroy the Promised descendants of Abraham through Sarah.
I encourage you to read your Old Testament to take note of many times the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob chose to be wicked in the sight of the Almighty AND REALIZE those choices were under the Satanic/demonic influencing. In way too many sad cases, those rebellious-to-God choices probably led to eternal damnation by not repenting of bad choices. Even in the Old Testament one can see actual repentance showed God’s Mercy was provided. The most classic example is King David. For all David’s obedience and exploits under God’s anointing, David earned the moniker A MAN AFTER GOD’S OWN HEART. Even so, David made his share of bad choices which I believe was under Satan’s influence to corrupt a godly line from which a future female vessel would have the Divine Seed implanted. Premiere of the bad choices was lusting after a married woman (Bathsheba) who was a spouse of the valiant soldier Uriah. David committed adultery with Bathsheba producing a pregnancy. Ultimately David commanded Uriah’s death by warfare to marry pregnant Bathsheba. God’s Judgment, the baby would die. David repented of his sin. God’s Mercy: Bathsheba gave birth to another son who would eventually be King Solomon. THE STORY HERE.
It would be David’s descendants that the Divine Seed would eventually find Mary the mother of Jesus the Son of God. (In case one wonders for the reason of two a bit different genealogies in the New Testament, the human stepfather (Joseph) who raised Jesus was also a descendant of David. THIS IS THE CLOSEST EXPLANATION I have an affinity toward.)
These are my initial thoughts on the persistent acts of Antisemitism that began – all the way back to Genesis 3: 14-15.
There are volumes of Old Testament Scriptures of Satan influencing the descendants of Abraham through Sarah to make bad and rebellious decisions. There are too many to enumerate in this post. I will show a few beginning in spot after Moses was the instrument to deliver the 12 Tribes of Israel from Egyptian slavery.
16 1Now Korah the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, with Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab, and On the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men;2 and they rose up before Moses with some of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty leaders of the congregation, representatives of the congregation, men of renown. 3 They gathered together against Moses and Aaron, and said to them, “You[a]take too much upon yourselves, for all the congregation is holy, every one of them, and the Lord is among them. Why then do you exalt yourselves above the assembly of the Lord?”
4 So when Moses heard it, he fell on his face; 5 and he spoke to Korah and all his company, saying, “Tomorrow morning the Lord will show who is His and who is holy,[b] and will cause him to come near to Him. That one whom He chooses He will cause to come near to Him.
20 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, 21 “Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.”
22 Then they fell[a] on their faces, and said, “O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and You be angry with all the congregation?”
23 So the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 24 “Speak to the congregation, saying, ‘Get away from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.’ ”
25 Then Moses rose and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel followed him. 26 And he spoke to the congregation, saying, “Depart now from the tents of these wicked men! Touch nothing of theirs, lest you be consumed in all their sins.” 27 So they got away from around the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram; and Dathan and Abiram came out and stood at the door of their tents, with their wives, their sons, and their little children.
28 And Moses said: “By this you shall know that the Lord has sent me to do all these works, for I have not done them of my own will. 29 If these men die naturally like all men, or if they are visited by the common fate of all men, then the Lord has not sent me. 30 But if the Lord creates a new thing, and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them up with all that belongs to them, and they go down alive into the pit, then you will understand that these men have rejected the Lord.”
31 Now it came to pass, as he finished speaking all these words, that the ground split apart under them, 32 and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, with their households and all the men with Korah, with all their goods. 33 So they and all those with them went down alive into the pit; the earth closed over them, and they perished from among the assembly. 34 Then all Israel who were around them fled at their cry, for they said, “Lest the earth swallow us up also!”
35 And a fire came out from the Lord and consumed the two hundred and fifty men who were offering incense.
36 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 37 “Tell Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, to pick up the censers out of the blaze, for they are holy, and scatter the fire some distance away. 38 The censers of these men who sinned [b]against their own souls, let them be made into hammered plates as a covering for the altar. Because they presented them before the Lord, therefore they are holy; and they shall be a sign to the children of Israel.”
13 1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Send men to spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the children of Israel; from each tribe of their fathers you shall send a man, every one a leader among them.”
3 So Moses sent them from the Wilderness of Paran according to the command of the Lord, all of them men who were heads of the children of Israel.
21 So they went up and spied out the land from the Wilderness of Zin as far as Rehob, near the entrance of Hamath.
25 And they returned from spying out the land after forty days.
26 Now they departed and came back to Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the children of Israel in the Wilderness of Paran, at Kadesh; they brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land. 27 Then they told him, and said: “We went to the land where you sent us. It truly [a]flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. 28 Nevertheless the people who dwell in the land are strong; the cities are fortified and very large; moreover we saw the descendants of Anak there. 29 The Amalekites dwell in the land of the South; the Hittites, the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the mountains; and the Canaanites dwell by the sea and along the banks of the Jordan.”
30 Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.”
31 But the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.” 32 And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature. 33 There we saw the [b]giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like[c] grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.”
6 But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes; 7 and they spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying: “The land we passed through to spy out is an exceedingly good land. 8 If the Lord delights in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us, ‘a land which flows with milk and honey.’ 9 Only do not rebel against the Lord, nor fear the people of the land, for they[a]are our bread; their protection has departed from them, and the Lord is with us. Do not fear them.”
10 And all the congregation said to stone them with stones. Now the glory of the Lord appeared in the tabernacle of meeting before all the children of Israel.
11 Then the Lord said to Moses: “How long will these people reject[b] Me? And how long will they not believe Me, with all the [c]signs which I have performed among them? 12 I will strike them with the pestilence and disinherit them, and I will make of you a nation greater and mightier than they.”
13 And Moses said to the Lord: “Then the Egyptians will hear it, for by Your might You brought these people up from among them, 14 and they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that You, Lord, are among these people; that You, Lord, are seen face to face and Your cloud stands above them, and You go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and in a pillar of fire by night. 15 Now if You kill these people as one man, then the nations which have heard of Your fame will speak, saying, 16 ‘Because the Lord was not able to bring this people to the land which He swore to give them, therefore He killed them in the wilderness.’ 17 And now, I pray, let the power of my Lord be great, just as You have spoken, saying, 18 ‘The Lord is longsuffering and abundant in mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression; but He by no means clears the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation.’ 19 Pardon the iniquity of this people, I pray, according to the greatness of Your mercy, just as You have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.”
20 Then the Lord said: “I have pardoned, according to your word; 21 but truly, as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord— 22 because all these men who have seen My glory and the signs which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have put Me to the test now these ten times, and have not heeded My voice, 23 they certainly shall not see the land of which I [d]swore to their fathers, nor shall any of those who rejected Me see it. 24 But My servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit in him and has followed Me fully, I will bring into the land where he went, and his descendants shall inherit it.
Footnotes
a. Numbers 14:9 They shall be as food for our consumption.
When Joshua finally led the invasion to Possess the Promised Land from the Canaanites, the Almighty’s instructions were to exterminate the Canaanites because their godlessness had surpassed the point of mercy. The issue of destruction had zero to with racial superiority versus racial inferiority. Rather the issue was immoral godlessness on par with the past destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. An interesting insight in relation to the Promised Land and the wickedness of those dwelling in the land of Canaan at Deuteronomy 9.
Unfortunately, Joshua’s led invasion failed to complete the task of possessing the Land. One can read the Book of Judges of the ebb and flow Israel sins and God’s Mercy. In the last three chapters of Judges (19, 20 & 21) relates on how the Tribe of Benjamin had become so corrupted by immorality (especially homosexuality but not limited to that sin), that the entire Tribe was nearly obliterated. It’s a lot to post, so I decided just to provide the NKJV summary I was going to post: Judges 19: 18-30; 20: 1-48; 21: 1-25 NKJV.
From King Saul, King David, King Solomon and followed by the division between 10 Northern Tribes (Israel – capital city Samaria) dividing from the 2 Southern Tribes (Kingdom of Judah [Tribes – Judah & Benjamin] – capital city Jerusalem. Home of the Temple of God and David’s lineage).
The Northern Kingdom descended into the worship of other gods specifically breaking the Commandments given to Moses in Exodus 20: 1-5 NKJV:
20 1And God spoke all these words, saying:
2 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of [a]bondage.
3 “You shall have no other gods before Me.
4 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5 you shall not bow down to them nor [b]serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting[c] the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,
Without going into specific guessing. The Northern Israelites (probably the intelligentsia class) were deported by conquering Assyria. A few faithful worshipers of Yahweh God Almighty escaped to Judah (An interesting discussion on the lost 10 at Jewish website Chabad.org). Assyria colonized the conquered land. Just guessing: The deported Israelites essentially disappear from history probably because they had become so paganized, those that survived deportation probably assimilated into the cultures they resided in.
The Kingdom of Judah (from whence the modern term “Jew” derives) lasted roughly a hundred years longer after Assyria conquered Israel – the Northern Kingdom. Judah had an array of good and bad Kings. The good being dedicated to Yahweh and the bad either partially or completely pagan in their devotion. The last Kings fit the bad-bill so much, Judah was conquered by Babylon. The intelligentsia class of Judah were deported en masse to Babylon where under the tutelage of such Prophets like Daniel reorganized their Faith from Temple Worship to at least the beginnings of how Judaism is practiced today.
After Babylon was conquered by the Medo-Persians, those Jews who chose to return to their Homeland, did so. BUT not as a kingdom, rather to be ruled by Persia and later other foreign powers (with a brief interlude of Hasmonean dynasty independent rule [Short Version & Long Version]). Ultimately Roman rulers grew weary of Jewish rebellions causing the 2nd Jewish deportation/Diaspora also changing the name of the area to a Latinized version of the Philistines (Syria Palaestina) the ancient enemies of Israel (where “Palestine” comes from). Two histories of Roman instituted Diaspora: HERE & HERE.
It is after this last expulsion of Jews by the Romans with the emergence of Christianity (among Gentiles) and later Islamic conquests (Jew-hatred encoded in Muslim revered writings of Quran, Hadith & Sira) that Antisemitism becomes an on-and-off repeat in severity.
The first Christians were Jews. As Christianity spread among non-Jewish Gentiles, somehow (probably jealousy) Jew-Hatred emerges when Christian Clergy began teaching (NOT from the Bible) such distortions as “Christ-Killers” (when actually a twisted Jewish Sanhedrin collaborated with Roman rule to Crucify Jesus who had a primarily Jewish following) and idiot blood-libels accusing Jews of sacrificing Christian babies. Both Jew-Hating Christians take the fabricated (thus often labelled a forgery) “Protocols of the (Learned) Elders of Zion” written to imply Jews exist to execute world domination as gospel-fact. More up-to-date on the Protocols history and forgery like to excuse George Soros (a Jewish heritage, but definitely a Leftist Covenant-Breaker) trying to disassociate his money from supporting Leftist causes implying those links are an act of Antisemitism. In my opinion Soros’s actions with his money makes him an Antisemite. Thus, here are some pretty good histories of the Antisemitic Protocols until you get to Soros exoneration: HERE, HERE & HERE.
It is people with a Jewish heritage yet have profoundly abandoned their Jewish Covenant with the Almighty that has fueled a current social Antisemitism that rivals the decades between WWI and WWII. A examples: George Soros, Yuval Noah Harari (HERE, HERE & HERE), Leon Trotsky and (ironically because of Left orientation) Wikipedia explores dedicated Leftist Jews to which I question their dedication to Covenant. It is my opinion – which I hope I’m wrong about – that the current growing Antisemitism will be a primary ember inflaming a WWIII. God have Mercy on us all, if that happens.

If this post survives Blogger censors, PLEASE promote it on your Social Media outlets.]
For some upfront clarity, I’m Pro-Israel as in I trust the Word of God (The Holy Bible – NOT the demonic theology based on the Quran or the Book of Mormon or Leftist Biblical-rewritten interpretations that conform to Woke-Transformation).
So, I don’t follow Replacement Theology (as in Christians REPLACE Jews in the Promises of God). Rather I trust God’s Word where it states non-Jews (for that matter – non-members of the 12-Tribes of Israel) who BELIEVE Jesus the Son of God (the first-born son of the then Virgin Mary as the human agency vehicle to Redeem the Fallen descendants of Adam and Eve) died on the Cross then Resurrected bodily from death to life sitting at the Right-Hand of the Father. AND that those who BELIEVE (both Jew & Gentile) in the Risen-Savior Jesus are REDEEMED from Adam’s bequeathed Fallen Nature and are NOW new creations in Christ Jesus. MEANING: Christians who are non-Jews have become adopted (NOT REPLACING) into the very Covenants and Promises of God made to the genealogical line descending through Abraham, Isaac (NOT Ishmael) and Jacob (NOT Esau). THE KEY: Not Replacing, but rather joined by engrafting by the Redeeming Blood of Jesus – the Lamb of God.
That being said… I’m fully aware there are Jews today who still have pride in their Jewish heritage genealogically (whether by blood descent or descended from converted Jews who are so by Covenant. E.g., Rahab [SEE HERE & HERE] and Ruth [SEE HERE, HERE & HERE] to name a few), but have conformed to ungodly Covenant-Breaking (as in rebellious to God’s original Covenant) Left-Wing ideology that essentially makes them Jewish In Name Only. AND there are Jews by descent who have openly repudiated their ancestry by adopting atheism or the atheistic practices of Communism (Infamous Communists who had a Jewish ancestry: Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin & MORE). I am confidant if I performed a search of Communists who had a long religious genealogical pedigree that included Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Confucianism, Hinduism and so on; THAT LIST of Communist-atheists would be quite lengthy. AND YET it is the Antisemitic Jew-Haters who like to pin Communism exclusively to Jews and so condemn all Jews as evil. CAN ANYONE see the idiocy in blaming all Jews for the same things that former Christians, Muslims, Buddhist and so on have also embraced to the detriment of Individual Liberty and Freedom?
AND SO, as a Redeemed Christian and a Joint-Heir to the Covenants and Promises given by God to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; I SUPPORT ISRAEL. I support Israel’s right to be a HOMELAND to Jews. I support this because it is my belief that eventually Jesus will RETURN. And the Covenant-Keeping Jews who DO NOT TRUST Christians because of thousands of years of persecuting Jews over distorted and fabricated lies of Christ-killers (REMEMBER the first Christians were Jewish and it was jealous Pharisee and Sadducee leaders concerned about loosing their station that promoted the crucifixion of Jesus to Romans who actually killed Jesus) will recognize their true Messiah.
As a Covenant Supporter of Israel’s Right to exist. I AM NOT a supporter of Arabs who have adopted the name Palestinian to steal the Biblical Land Promised by God Almighty to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. There is ZERO history of a Palestinian people. The Arab refugees who holed up in Judea-Samaria (named the West Bank by Jordanian [actually British led Jordanian Army] conquerors) and the Gaza Strip after 1948 Israel Independence overcame multiple Arab armies who came to exterminate Jews. Every Arab-Israeli War since 1948 and every pseudo-Palestinian Terrorist attack on Israel the creation PLO and other pseudo-Palestinian terrorist organizations (e.g., Hamas) has been to exterminate Jews from their Biblical HOMELAND.
Frankly, I’m a bit mystified at how many fellow Conservatives have joined a bandwagon to condemn Israel for punishing Hamas and their pseudo-Palestinian supporters. Even accusing Israel of genocide for finally deciding to eradicate Hamas. The cry that innocent civilians are in the crosshairs of Israel is absurd after the fact is understood these civilians are willing [as in NOT FORCED] human shields for their Hamas overlords. The pseudo-Palestinians were and are fully supportive of the killing, maiming and raping of all Jews. I feel no sympathy with that Jew-Hatred attitude.
I’m certain this will rub the idiot supporters of the pseudo-Palestinians the wrong way. That includes Leftist Jews who moronically believe a Palestinian State will bring peace to the Middle East. It will not bring peace. A Jew-Hating Palestinian State will only bring a launching pad to bring more Islamic terrorist attacks to maim, rape, and kill Jews and any Christians and/or Americans who happen to get in the way.

October 7th Investigative Report: Sadistic Sexual Assaults Carried Out Systematically and Deliberately by Hamas; Identical Patterns of Action Repeated in Each Attack Zone
The ritualistic rapes and genital mutilations and murders executed by Hamas and allies on October 7th symbolically demonstrate that their intent was Jewish genocide. Furthermore, the burning of the bodies refers back symbolically to the Nazi genocide against the Jews. Today the number of Jews worldwide is only approximately 15 million – less than in 1939.
“Silent Cry: Special Report of the Association of Rape Crisis Centers in Israel Content Warning: The report contains graphic descriptions of sexual abuse, torture, and murder.
Abstract
Hamas’s attack on October 7 included brutal sexual assaults, carried out systematically and deliberately towards Israeli civilians. Numerous testimonies and pieces of disclosed and classified information present a clear picture of identical patterns of action repeated in each of the attack zones – the Nova Festival, private homes in the Gaza envelope kibbutzim, and IDF bases. With the abduction of 254 individuals to the Gaza Strip areas, sexual assaults continued to occur also in this arena. Therefore, there is a high likelihood that the kidnapped women and men in Hamas captivity are still at risk of sexual abuse at any given moment.
Hamas’s attack included violent acts of rape, accompanied by threats with weapons, and in some cases targeted towards injured women. Many of the rapes were carried out as a group, with the participation of violent terrorists. Often, the rape was perpetrated in front of an audience – partners, family, or friends – in a manner intended to increase the pain and humiliation of all present. Hamas terrorists hunted young women and men who fled the Nova festival, and according to testimonies, dragged them by their hair amid screams. The actions targeted women, girls, and men. In most cases, the victims were killed after or even during the rape.
A series of testimonies, interviews, and additional sources attest that Hamas terrorists employed sadistic practices aimed at intensifying the degree of humiliation and terror inherent in sexual violence. Many of the bodies of sexual crime victims were found bound and shackled. The genitals of both women and men were brutally mutilated, and sometimes weapons were inserted into them. The terrorists did not stop at shooting; they also cut and mutilated sexual organs and other body parts with knives.
This report is the result of an initial examination of all the public and classified information, interviews, and testimonies that can be revealed at this time, which will likely increase with time. The report clearly demonstrates that sexual abuse was not an isolated incident or sporadic cases but rather a clear operational strategy.
“We know they were raped in Hamas captivity’: Chilling details of what hostages faced By KIM HJELMGAARD, 12-20-23, USA TODAY “Israeli medical professionals and morgue workers said many women who died on Oct. 7 were found with broken legs and pelvic bones. They said the severity of the mutilations they examined were such that it was not always possible to distinguish female from male victims. At least one survivor of the attack who was at the Supernova music festival has told Israel police she witnessed a gang rape… sexual assault appears not to have been confined to Oct. 7. Two Israeli doctors, who have been treating released hostages, and an Israeli military official familiar with the matter confirmed to USA TODAY that some released hostages revealed they suffered violent sexual assaults in captivity.” https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2023/12/20/hamas-sexual-violence-rape-hostages-oct-7/71917113007/
“Israel Gaza: Hamas raped and mutilated women on 7 October, BBC hears
Published 5 December 2023 By Lucy Williamson Middle East correspondent, Jerusalem
The BBC has seen and heard evidence of rape, sexual violence and mutilation of women during the 7 October Hamas attacks. WARNING: CONTAINS EXTREMELY GRAPHIC DESCRIPTIONS OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE AND RAPE Several people involved in collecting and identifying the bodies of those killed in the attack told us they had seen multiple signs of sexual assault, including broken pelvises, bruises, cuts and tears, and that the victims ranged from children and teenagers to pensioners….” https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-67629181
“this was part of the plan. These were the orders. A report analyzing the use of sexual violence by Hamas based on numerous testimonies from victims, First Responders and witnesses reveals that nothing happened just spontaneously. It was all pre-planned.
They planned the sexual violence. They planned the torture. They planned the uploading of it. Every single one of the fighters came with the GoPro. They uploaded it as they went along…” Miri Eisin quote from: “Israel compiles evidence of sexual assault in Oct.7 attack” i24news, 21 Feb 2024 https://youtu.be/H0jseTtO5ak
News Release from the Israeli government, which includes the link to the document:
“ARCCI submits first report regarding Hamas October 7 attack to the UN Publish Date 21.02.2024 The report clearly demonstrates that this is not a “malfunction” or isolated incident but a clear operational strategy involving systematic, targeted sexual abuse. The report focuses on sexual and gender-based violence during the massacre of October 7, 2023, and the war that ensued, serving as a primary testimonial foundation indicating widespread sexual crimes.
Orit Sulitzeanu, CEO of the Association of Rape Crisis Centers in Israel, stated, “The report, submitted to decision-makers at the UN, leaves no room for denial or disregard. The terrorist organization Hamas chose to harm Israel strategically in two clear ways – kidnapping citizens and committing sadistic sexual crimes. Silence is no longer an option. We expect international organizations to take a clear stance; we cannot stand on the sidelines. Silence will be remembered as a historical stain on those who chose to remain silent and deny the sexual crimes committed by Hamas.”
The report is the first official research since October 7, consolidating evidence and providing conclusions. The report clearly demonstrates that this is not a “malfunction” or isolated incident but a clear operational strategy involving systematic, targeted sexual abuse. The report focuses on sexual and gender-based violence during the massacre of October 7, 2023, and the war that ensued, serving as a primary testimonial foundation indicating widespread sexual crimes. The report was written by, Dr. Carmit Klar Chalamish, head of the research department at the Association of Rape Crisis Centers in Israel, and Noga Berger, director of content at the organization.
Methodology
The report analyzes numerous confidential and public pieces of information, including testimonies, interviews with official and non-official first responders, information permitted for publication in various media outlets, and direct information received by the ARCCI. After gathering the information, a cataloging and analysis process was undertaken to map the areas and patterns of sexual crimes. The report does not provide quantitative information due to the nature of the events, most of which resulted in the victims’ deaths, making their full extent unknown and possibly unknowable. Findings
The report finds that the Hamas attack included brutal acts of violent rape, often involving threats with weapons, specifically directed towards injured women. Many rape incidents occurred collectively, with collaboration among the perpetrating terrorists. In some cases, rape was conducted in front of an audience, such as partners, family, or friends, to increase the pain and humiliation for all present. Some Hamas members pursued victims who escaped the massacre, dragging them by their hair with screams. The majority of victims were subsequently killed during or after the sexual assault.
Several testimonies, interviews, and additional sources indicate the use of sadistic practices by Hamas terrorists, aimed at intensifying the humiliation and fear of sexual abuse. Many victims’ bodies were found mutilated and bound, with sexual organs brutally attacked, and in some cases, weapons were inserted into them. Some bodies were discovered deliberately booby-trapped. It is essential to note that the report details only information from identified sources permitted for publication, while analysis includes additional confidential information that cannot be disclosed publicly. Analysis of the information reveals that sexual and gender-based violence occurred systematically in 4 arenas:
1. Nova Festival (Re’im music festival) –testimonies from survivors significantly indicate severe sexual assaults in the festival arena. There are eyewitness and earwitness testimonies of group rape. These testimonies align with descriptions from first responders and corpse-handling personnel.
2. Kibbutzim – Testimonies from first responders and corpse-handling personnel reveal signs of sexual assault in the scenes of the massacre. Many cases involve heinous attacks on women and girls, including a case of hiding a knife in a genital organ. Additional information was received by the ARCCI but cannot be disclosed due to privacy concerns.
3. IDF bases – Bodies of female soldiers arriving at the “Shura” camp exhibited clear signs of sexual violence,
4. Captivity – Information regarding sexual assaults in captivity has been published following the testimonies of those who returned from captivity. These testimonies include various cases, including those of captives who are still alive.
According to Dr. Carmit Klar-Chalamish and Noga Berger, the report’s authors,
“The brutal practices used on October 7, such as genital mutilation of girls, women, and men, shooting, and weapon insertion, were designed to destroy and inflict sadistic terror.
The manner in which these assaults were carried out aimed to reinforce their impact on the victims and their communities, which failed to prevent the harm.
As the scars in our hearts refuse to heal, and the souls of our sisters and brothers cry out to us from the depths of the earth, a significant portion of those we considered partners responded in silence and denial of these horrors.
We call on you to raise your voices and not allow the cries of these victims to fade away.” About the Association of Rape Crisis Centers in Israel The Association of Rape Crisis Centers in Israel was founded in 1990 as an umbrella organization, bringing together nine rape crisis centers across the country, addressing around 50,000 calls each year. The organization operates as an agency for social change, complementing and relying on the individual work carried out at the centers. The ARCCI works to promote rights and services for survivors of sexual abuse, adopt preventive measures, and reduce the prevalence of the phenomenon in Israel. The various services provided by the rape crisis centers and the ARCCI are the result of over three decades of experience, creating a professional knowledge base regarding the characteristics and implications of sexual assault on survivors and society as a whole.
An especially important point in the report, since Hamas refused to release the men: “Medical teams that treated the hostages who were released from captivity reported that men were also sexually assaulted in captivity.”

Yet the two most comprehensive genocidal tribunals, the International Criminal Tribunal for Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), refrained from charging criminals with genocide when their victims are male. This Article will address how males, similarly to female, have been victims of genocide in the forms of genocidal rape and sexual violence, and will argue that the ICTY and ICTR should have used the 1948 Convention’s definition of genocide to achieve the goals of the United Nations”. https://scholarship.law.duke.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1555&context=djcil
“Sexual homicides consist of two key components: the homicide of a person and the sexual behavior of the perpetrator. The homicide may be an impulsive…. or an act meticulously planned for days or even weeks before the attack… Sexual behavior may occur prior to, during and/or after the homicide…. and may even be symbolically expressed through genital mutilation of the victim.” (“Sexual homicide: Brief review of the literature and case report involving rape, genital mutilation and human arson” Maria-Valeria Karakasi a, Epameinondas Vasilikos a, Polichronis Voultsos b, Aikaterini Vlachaki a, Pavlos Pavlidis c Journal of Forensic and Legal Medicine Volume 46, February 2017, Pages 1-10 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1752928X16301664?via%3Dihub

My fellow Patriots – straight up – I’m feeling a bit under the weather today. Do not be concerned, it’s nothing to do with any kind of CCP-virus, plague or Plandemic. Since I’m in the I no longer trust doctors, clinics or hospitals camp; I’m letting weather run its course waiting for the sun to shine.
So today, I’m sharing some videos I’ve ran into from email subscriptions.
First up is an email I received from the CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF POLITICAL ISLAM INTERNATIONAL (CSPII) which I feel compelled to share a bit of precursor information. There was a time my blogging focus was largely Counterjihad issues because after some Muslim Terrorists hijacked some U.S. Passenger Airlines and crashed them into the buildings called the World Trade Center in New York City, I along with much of Americans became infuriated. Twenty-plus years later there is some hindsight there might have been some CIA clandestine coaching in preying on Islamic-hatred of all things non-Islamic in stirring already active terrorists to do the deed. (And to you Jew-Haters out there: If Mossad was involved, it more than likely was in alliance with the CIA not acting under some idiotic Jewish World Domination conspiracy.) If indeed the CIA was involved, one can mark 9/11 as a marker for the current Globalist-Elitist designs to embark on Forever Wars to lead to a One-World Government with some old-fashioned DEPOPULATION markers (wars first, Climate Hysteria second & Plandemics third).
I fell for it. I even unwittingly supported the Patriot Act believing the LIES that law would target foreign infiltration. By the time of Obama’s 2008 Fundamental Change of America, I began to realize the Patriot Act’s actual purpose was to spy on Americans – especially Patriotic Americans opposed to any Fundamental Change of America.
All that being said, my subscription to CSPII is really the result of a subscription to Bill Warner’s PoliticalIslam.com from the current CSPII derives. Bill Warner was AWESOME in educating any who would dare to listen that Islam as a religion has ZERO to do with peace for any person refusing to submit to the supremacy of Islam. Warner wrote extensively and made numerous videos using Islam’s own revered writings (Quran, Hadith & Sira) to expose violent Islam. The Globalist-Left has not been kind to Bill Warner (a pseudonym – actual name Bill French), labelling him an Islamophobe or anti-Islam writer (one example is Wikipedia). I’ve noticed new info from Warner has slowed to a trickle with PoliticalIslam.com looking more like an archive website and CSPII as an occasional disseminator of old Warner articles and videos. I suspect the slowdown has to do with the fact Warner is in his early eighties in age being born in 1941. Here’s Warner’s brief Political Islam bio.
The irony of today’s threat to Individual Liberty and Religious Liberty is the apparent unholy union of the Globalist Left and Jihadi-Islam for world domination. Both the Globalist Left and Jihadi-Islam view the Christian influence of the West as an enemy to a ONE-World Order (Islam would lump Jews as enemies according to their revered writings). The irony is if Christianity is ever eliminated (THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN!), the Globalist Left and Jihadi-Islam then would turn on each other with vicious violence with their own final solutions.
AND SO, my first share is a CSPII link I received in an email a couple of days ago, but is actually an old Bill Warner post from years ago that will include Warner in a Youtube Video posted 9/2/15: Kafir; By Bill Warner; CSPII.

The first step in learning about Political Islam is to know the correct words and their precise definitions. The language of Islamic doctrine is dualistic and divides humanity into believers and Kafirs, those who believe Mohammed is the messenger of Allah and those who do not.
Kafir is an actual word the Koran uses for non-Muslims. It is usually translated as unbeliever or infidel, but that translation is imprecise. The word unbeliever is neutral, while the attitude of the Koran towards unbelievers is very negative as it defines the Kafir as hated by Allah. According to Political Islam, a Muslim is never the true friend of a Kafir. Kafirs can be enslaved, raped, beheaded, plotted against, terrorized, and humiliated. A Kafir is not considered to be fully human.
When you read the complete Islamic doctrine of Koran, Sira (the biography of Mohammed), and the Hadith (the traditions of Mohammed), you will find that Islamic doctrine is fixated on the Kafir. Over half of the Koran is about the Kafir. It is the stated purpose of Political Islam to convert, subjugate or annihilate all Kafirs.
If more people knew their history, they wouldn’t have questioned the legitimacy of the October 7th Palestinian attacks on innocent Israeli citizens.
The Palestinians have been slaughtering Christians and Jews in the most heinous ways for DECADES, including in 1976 in my home country of Lebanon. This is the truth about Palestinians that everyone must learn.

‘Ahasuerus (Xerxes) and Haman at the Feast of Esther’ [Who was Haman in the Bible?] by Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn
There are many Liberty-minded Conservatives for which I continue to have admiration EVEN THOUGH they condemn Israel for vigilantly as well as violently making an effort to exterminate the Jew-Hating Islamic Terrorist organization Hamas. Their reasoning for condemning Israel: “Those poor innocent Palestinian civilians are in the crossfire so Israel is guilty of committing genocide.”
REALLY?!?
If anyone bothers to check some facts, those so-called innocent civilians who are nothing more than Arabs who call themselves Palestinians (There is NO such heritage of such a people existing with an Arab ancestry!!!) are not only virulently supporting Hamas terrorism, murder and mayhem BUT ALSO participating alongside Hamas.
Melanie Phillips shares some details on her Substack Page that should bring some clarity to Conservatives. NONETHELESS, to those infected with blame ALL Jews (even though there are both Covenant-Breaking [Leftist] Jews and Covenant-Keeping Jews) for the woes of the world, blaming Jews for genocide rather than self-preservation will always be the first option.
AND NOW, learn the Melanie Phillips facts on the NOT so innocent Arabs calling themselves Palestinians.

In the current war in the Middle East, it’s a given that a distinction must be drawn between Hamas and the “ordinary” Palestinian Arab residents of Gaza.
This distinction, however, is largely spurious.
An article in The Washington Free Beacon that drew upon interviews given to Israeli TV by freed hostages has confirmed that ordinary Gazans were deeply involved in the October 7 pogrom and subjected the hostages to cruelty, abuse and starvation.
Nili Margalit recounted how Gazan “civilians, regular people” took her hostage at knifepoint in the October 7 attack. Margalit said a “boy … 17, maybe 18 years old” and an “older man with the knife” broke down the door of her home in Kibbutz Nir Oz and forced her, barefoot and in pyjamas, into a stolen golf cart.
Margalit said she saw a “mob, thousands of people,” including “women and children,” pouring across Israel’s breached border with Gaza less than two miles away.
She saw two boys, one “no more than four or five years old” and the other 15 or 16, riding an all-terrain vehicle that belonged to her father, a cattle breeder who was among those murdered that day. The boys had apparently already made one trip from Nir Oz to Gaza and were returning for another round of carnage.
A number of the freed hostages said they spent part of their captivity in family homes, hospitals and other civilian sites in Gaza where they were locked into rooms, starved and ill-treated.
Mia Schem, who was shot in the arm and abducted from the Supernova music festival, said her captors brought her directly to a hospital in Gaza as she was bleeding to death.
Schem then received no further treatment or even pain medication. She was taken to a private home where a man and his family held her captive with “pure hate,” forbidding her to speak, cry or move. She would go days without receiving food and was never allowed to bathe.
Bad as their conditions were, the hostages’ captors repeatedly told them that their lives would be at risk if they were discovered by ordinary Gazans. The hostages hardly needed any such warning.
Sharon Aloni Cunio recalled how she and her twin three-year-old daughters were mobbed on October 7 as terrorists brought them into Gaza on a tractor from their home in Nir Oz. “People start beating everyone who was sitting on the tractor — just beating us, from all sides. It was horrific,” she said.
The testimony of the freed hostages carries particular weight because these aren’t extreme nationalists. They are Israelis who, in general, were until October 7 the most fervent believers in peaceful coexistence with the Palestinian Arabs, ferrying Gaza residents to hospital in Israel and establishing many bonds with them.
They believed that whatever the failings of Palestinian leaders, the Palestinian people just wanted to live alongside them in peace and security. Now they say something very different. “I experienced hell. Everyone there are terrorists,” said Schem. “There are no innocent civilians, not one.”
Agam Goldstein-Almog, who was abducted with her mother and two younger siblings after Hamas murdered her father and elder sister in their homes in Kfar Aza, said: “If we previously believed that there was a chance for peace, we’ve lost all faith in these people, especially after we were there and among the population.”
Nor are most Arabs living in the disputed territories of Judea and Samaria any different. Between October 7 and January 15, Rescuers Without Borders recorded more than 2,600 attacks targeting Israeli civilians and soldiers, including 760 cases of rock-throwing, 551 fire bombings, 12 attempted or successful stabbings and nine vehicular assaults.
The IDF has been fighting heavy battles in these territories to thwart attacks and destroy terrorist infrastructure. In recent weeks, it’s been investigating possible infiltration tunnels discovered near Jewish communities in the Hebron Hills in Judea and Shiloh in Samaria’s Binyamin region.
The Palestinian Authority has never condemned the October 7 pogrom; on the contrary, its main party, Fatah, has repeatedly extolled the atrocities. A poll published by the Palestinian Centre for Policy and Survey Research showed support for Hamas in Judea and Samaria more than tripled after October 7, with no fewer than 82 per cent of Arabs there supporting the attack and 70 per cent of them supporting the “armed struggle” against Israel.
In any moral universe, a set of people bent upon exterminating another would be treated as pariahs by the international community and their rights would be considered forfeit.
Yet America is even now insisting that the “route to peace” is through a Palestinian state that must be ruled by a “revitalised” and “reformed” PA.
There’s zero chance of any such reform. Such a state would merely revitalise the capacity of the Palestinian Arabs to inflict yet more genocidal attacks on Israel.
America and Britain remain wedded to the “two-state solution” because they refuse to acknowledge that this conflict is not over a division of land. Instead, it is a war of annihilation against the Jewish homeland that has lasted for almost 100 years.
Moreover, the reason the conflict still endures is the behaviour of the west itself.
Led by Britain in the 1930s, the west has consistently rewarded and incentivised Arab aggressors bent on destroying Israel, while it has prevented Israel from taking the measures necessary to see off the threat once and for all.
The essential prerequisite for any solution is for the west to withdraw support for Palestinian aggression and unequivocally back Israeli self-defence. Deprived of both western funding and validation, the Palestinian agenda would fall apart.
Instead, the west continues to promote the murderous fiction that there are “good” Palestinians who deserve a state of their own — which would be a terror state with Israel at its mercy.
The west’s lethal error goes even deeper. America and the UK have failed to realise that, just as Hamas can’t be divorced from the Palestinians but are part of the same genocidal entity, so the war against Israel is merely the most neuralgic element of a civilisational war between the Muslim world and the west.
That war was declared in 1979, when the Islamic revolution in Iran galvanised and radicalised Sunni as well as Shi’ite Muslims across the world, helping to create al Qaeda.
The new Iranian regime declared war on the west and has prosecuted that war ever since with virtually no pushback. Instead, western appeasement has helped finance and bolster Iran’s terrorism, proxy wars and quest for hegemony.
That catastrophic strategy, combined with the west’s continued financing and support of the Palestinian agenda, enabled the Hamas pogrom and onslaught on Israel from multiple fronts in Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Judea and Samaria.
This already metastasising conflict is feared to presage a world war in which Russia and China join Iran against a west which has shown such lamentable enfeeblement in the Middle East. [Blog Editor: Hmm… Sounds like a Gog – Magog & Revelation description to me. Perspectives: HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE & HERE.]
Britain and America do not only insist that “bad” Hamas is different from the “good” Palestinians. They similarly claim that al Qaeda, ISIS and other radical Islamists are merely rogue actors in an otherwise unthreatening Muslim world.
Both Britain and America have accordingly failed to recognise how jihadis intent upon conquering the west for Islam — as Hamas has said is its own ultimate aim —have tunnelled into British and American democratic structures and institutions as devastatingly as they have tunnelled into Israel from Gaza and Lebanon.
As a result of myopia, muddled thinking and moral cowardice, America and Britain are not just aiming to ensure that an Israel they protect from outright annihilation will nevertheless continue to twist in the murderous Islamist wind. They have also advertised to the enemies of civilisation that the west itself is ripe for conquest.
My most recent exclusive post for my premium subscribers argued that the British government’s attitude towards Islamism remains dangerously blinkered. This is how the piece begins:
At long last, the British government is to proscribe the Islamist group Hizb ut Tahrir under anti-terrorism laws. This jihadi group was founded in Jerusalem in 1953 with the aim of replacing Muslim leaders viewed as not Muslim enough and eventually establishing a caliphate with world-wide implementation of Islamic sharia law. —Read full story

I began this post on December 1, but it has taken me until December 3 to nail it down. Before I begin this Pro-Israel, Reject-Antisemitism and Abhor Islamic Supremacism cross post; I need to be clear on some personal views.
As to Antisemitism: It is my belief that there Covenant-Keeping Jews and Covenant-Breaking Jews. And among the Covenant-Breaking Jews there are self-deceived Jews who believe they keep their heritage and trust in Covenant-Breaking Leftist principles (i.e., principles that are against Torah principles). That is self-deception. Then there is another class of Covenant-Breaking Jews who just downright abandon their Judaism altogether by embracing Marxist-atheist values (which is a club NOT exclusive to Jews as there are many former Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, other religions and yes even [former] Muslims in the Marxist-atheist club).
The ONE thing Covenant-Keeping Jews and Covenant Breaking Jews have in common is being the recipients often times of violent Antisemitic hate. A history of Christians persecuting Jews because the wicked twisting of the facts about who killed Jesus and blaming ALL Jews for the actions of a minority of Jewish leaders (Divided Pharisees and pretty all Sadducees in the Jerusalem Sanhedrin in pre-Resurrection days). The idiocy behind the Christ-killer accusation is this:
3. The Apostle Paul (writer of most of the New Testament) clearly brought the Gospel to the Jew First and the Gentile Second followed by the Redeeming Blood of Jesus made the two one (NOT REPLACED) who by faith BELIEVED in the Risen Savior.
Then there are were/are Christians who fall for the idiocy that ALL Jews have an agenda for World Domination. The most cited document behind this idiocy is the forged/fabricated [SEE HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE & HERE]The Protocols of The Elders of Zion. The document has be proven forged and written specifically as a tool to incite Jew-Hatred to offset blame for bad political leadership. The forgery can be traced through the hands of French then German but specifically promoted by Czarist Russia. The obvious idiocy comes from simple Bible reading. The whole concept of a Promised Land is a specific area of land between the Red Sea and Euphrates River – NOT WORLD-WIDE. AND Jerusalem ONLY becomes a WORLD Capital under the reign of the RETURN of King Jesus in which the Chosen People get one more shot at accepting and believing by faith in their Promised Messiah. (I support these perspectives in GotQuestions.org: HERE & HERE. It is my opinion Covenant-Keeping Jews will see Jesus in His RETURN and recognize their Messiah. Sadly after the bodily Resurrection of Jesus many Jews missed their Messiah, it is my guess many will miss their Messiah at the RETURN of Jesus. Here is some Jewish Messianism for Christian Believers that are Intercessors might prayer-tools for Jews to recognize their MessiahHERE, HERE & HERE.)
Islamic Supremacism NOT PEACE
BUT WORSE THAN Christians persecuting Jews based on twisted facts and lies, is MUSLIM persecution of Jews. Unlike Christians who are supposed understand their Scripture, IT IS ENCODED in Islamic revered writings (Quran, Hadith & Sira) to hate and kill Jews. That same hate is extended to all who refuse to submit to Islam, but a special venom is placed on Jews firsts then secondly upon Christians as People of the Book for brutality if they refuse Islamic Submission. References of Islamic directed Jew-Hatred:
With that Word-Document equivalent of three-pages of thought, I’m still going to include the cross posts that got this train to roll. I begin with a Front Page Magazine post I read entitled, “Nazis, Muslims and the Jews: Did Nazis carry out the horrific Oct 7th massacre?”. Followed by a Palestine Media Watch email with the subject title, “PMW Special War Edition”. Between FPM & PMW, this post becomes quite lengthy. I only in them at this point because my sense is that it’s only fair for you to know what set me off.

One of the most accurate aspects about Israel’s war with Hamas in Gaza is the use of the word Nazi to describe the terrorist enemy. No other label or historical parallel could capture the chilling ferocious madness – but not scope – of Palestinian butchery of Israelis. The Nazi vilification epithet has now become conventional Israeli discourse in public and media circles with the vivid revelation – in words and photos – of Palestinian savagery and barbarism by Hamas on October 7. Hamas terrorists, without an ounce of inhibition or remorse, shot youth in cold blood at the music festival at Re’im, burnt and beheaded Jews, vaunting their sadistic impulses upon children, men, and the elderly – raping women and girls. They decapitated a baby cut from the mother’s womb in front of her eyes. The pyromaniacs set fire to homes, barns and cars.
Nazis and Jews
The murder of approximately 1,200 Israelis in an orgy of bloodshed evoked the sensation that Nazis carried out such a horrific massacre of helpless Jews on that ‘Black Saturday’ on Gaza’s border. Decades of Palestinian terrorism upgraded from stoning and stabbing Jews to the diabolical nightmare of Nazi crematoria – burning Jewish people alive. Later, in a child’s room in Gaza, Israeli soldiers came upon an Arabic translation of Mein Kampf, Hitler’s bible. The kidnapping of 241 Israelis to Gaza became an additional chilling chapter of this unparalleled ordeal.
Are the Palestinians Nazis by ideology?
Berl Katznelson, the foremost leader of Labor Zionism until his death in 1944, was a witness to Arab massacres of Jews in the 1920s and 1930s. He referred to “the Palestinian Nazis who succeeded to unite here in [Eretz] Israel the zoological antisemitism of Europe and the lust for the dagger of the Orient.” The connection between Nazis and Palestinians led the esteemed songwriter Naomi Shemer to offer a remarkable insight:
“Arabs like their murder hot, moist, and steamy, and if they will ever be free to fulfill themselves, we [Jews] will yearn for the good sterile gasses of the Germans.”
In Kfar Aza and Be’eri, Nir Oz and Sderot, there was no Palestinian industrialized war machine in operation; rather just primitive hordes of “Muhammad’s monsters”[1] mangling and mutilating Jews whose innocence, in the double sense of the word, became ready prey for the Gazan rabble run wild. To define those Hamas Palestinian as ‘terrorists’ is a gross understatement, perhaps a euphemism.
In Israel today, after the October 7 pogrom, the liberation of language has allowed the use of ‘Nazi’ to describe the horrendous event. During the entire year prior to the pogrom, the leftist street protests against the judicial reform package of the Netanyahu government introduced the odious word – Nazi – specifically targeting Netanyahu himself. Placards portrayed him in a Nazi uniform, the demonization of the prime minister becoming a central axis of the intense brainwashing campaign. The year 1933 became a symbolic benchmark for Netanyahu’s devious dictatorial designs – said the protest.
Of memorable notoriety was ex-general and member of Knesset Yair Golan’s “processes speech” from 2018 that hinted Israel was already adopting Nazi features in its ideological transformation from a democracy to a dictatorship. The end of liberty in Israel was approaching. The leftist-liberal secular camp, unhinged and full of hatred for Netanyahu during the decades of his premiership, had lost its cultural poise and historical judgment.[2] When the Arab Nazis struck and slaughtered in October, the outrageous accusation that the rightist-nationalist camp is Nazi-like paled and dissolved.
The gruesome real Nazis changed the contours of the domestic Israeli dialogue. Now Netanyahu, the would-be Nazi in the furtive imagination of some bewitched Israelis, labeled Hamas leader, Yahya Sinwar, “a little Hitler hiding in a bunker” on November 5. Here was a candidate worthy of the title.
However, many years earlier, the enemies of Israel from near and far had adopted the Nazi charge against the Jewish state as an ideological staple of de-legitimization. The Russians had initiated this perversion of comparing Zionism to Nazism, and their Syrian proxy followed suit. The loathsome ‘Zionism-is-Nazism’ canard served to vilify Israel and render its existence to be a wicked injustice imposed on the Arabs, Muslims, and the world.[3] This fabricated indictment shaped the victimology of the Palestinians that became a marketable political logo.
Incompatibilities and Conflict: The Primacy of Islam
Islam, the religion of the Muslim faithful, predominates in the political calculus of Hamas (an Arabic acronym for the Islamic Resistance Movement). This turns the Israeli–Palestinian clash into a Muslim–Jewish religious war. In the language of the Hamas covenant from 1988 (Art. 15): “the Palestinian problem is a religious problem” which obligates Muslims to conduct jihad. [Bold Text Blog Editor’s] In Articles 20 and 31 Hamas makes the heinous accusation that Israel uses Nazi methods against the Palestinian people. Where has Israel concealed those death camps and gas ovens? Needless to say that the very victims of Nazism are not the Palestinians but the Jews, then in Europe and now in the Middle East.
It is worth recalling that the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) earlier flung the Nazi charge against Israel in its 1964 Charter (Art. 22). This diatribe against Zionism is an incredulous inversion of truth, no less because of the intimate collaboration in World War II between Hitler and Haj Amin Al-Husseini, the Palestinian leader in British-mandated Palestine. The latter’s ideological and nationalist successor, Yasser Arafat, stated in an interview in 1981 that “the Zionist invasion recalled the Nazi invasion” (of Austria, Poland…).[4] Fatah, the core faction in the PLO, and Hamas are of one Palestinian mind.
The religious engine instructing, validating, inspiring, and mobilizing Hamas is, expectedly, the Koran. The book of Allah revealed to the prophet Muhammad guidance [Bold Text Blog Editor’s] in confirming that the only true faith is Islam (3:18), it is above all religions (48:28), and it will conquer or convert the entire world. To “fight for the cause of Allah” (9:111) against “those who do not embrace the true faith” (9:29) is the greatest deed a Muslim can do. The “believers” (Muslims) must confront the “unbelievers” (Jews) and thereby establish truth and justice on earth. Indeed, “ruthlessness toward unbelievers” (48:29), beheading without mercy, is the mark of Islam as a complete religious-political way of life.[Bold Text Blog Editor’s] For hundreds of years Muslim regimes applied restrictions and humiliations against dhimmi Jews (and Christians) in the lands of Islam[5] – similar to Nazi Germany’s anti-Semitic legislation, turning Jewish citizens into outcasts and dwarfing their public presence. With the spread of armed radical Islam, militant and triumphalist, Muslims seek nothing less than a resounding victory against the Jewish people.
With an ineluctable mandate from Kitab Allah (The Book of God), no moral restrictions stayed the hand of Hamas savages. [Bold Text Blog Editor’s] Like the Nazis in the 1930s, Hamas was always rearming and preparing for the war it would start. Nazis reviled the godless communists, Hamas reviled godless Fatah – and both saw the Jews as the ultimate and diabolical enemy. Hitler aroused frenzy among the Germans, he whipped up passion and hatred, and the mob would follow him; all this featured in the role of Sheikh Ahmed Yassin and his successors – Ismail Haniyeh and Yahya Sinwar. In both cases, Germany and Palestine, exultant mass support for the regime as befits totalitarian movements was more essential than the democratic vote that brought them to power. [Bold Text Blog Editor’s]
Hamas cutthroats and murderers assaulted civilian communities and military posts across the Gaza line and slaughtered the Israelis. The spirit of Itbach el-Yahud – “slaughter the Jews” – filled the air. This sacred mission gave life significance and purpose. Twelve hundred dead Israelis and 241 Israeli hostages were a trophy of victory that, when the news of the operation spread, brought the Gazan Palestinians to the streets, joyous at the Jewish blood spilled, and – as is customary – to distribute sweets and candies in celebration. Fatah followers in the West Bank were no less exuberant. [Bold Text Blog Editor’s]
The Hamas plan for war was sophisticated in its tactical maneuvers and deceptive in implementation. In the months prior, Sinwar had avoided provoking Israel, rather conveying his emphasis on economic development for Gaza and shying away from joining the more active terror campaign by Islamic Jihad in Samaria. Netanyahu apparently may have believed that Israel had successfully deterred Hamas from any concerted military campaign. In the German case, until September 1, 1939 when Germany invaded Poland, Hitler conducted a disinformation campaign aimed at America, England, and Russia, to conceal his intention to go to war.[6] In the end, Hitler fooled Chamberlain and later Stalin; Sinwar arguably fooled Netanyahu – as Arafat fooled Rabin, not with war but with a peace offensive.
War is at the heart of Islam and conquest is the banner of its glory.[Bold Text Blog Editor’s] Ayatollah Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran inspiring, training, arming, and financing Hamas and other Islamic terrorist groups [Blog Editor: It is amazing how Jew-Hatred has brought unity between Sunni-Hamas & Shia-Iran – two Muslim groups who otherwise consider each other Islamic heretics.], declared in a speech in 1942 that Islam is not a religion of peace. Rather, “Kill them [the non-Muslims] put them to the sword…Whatever good there is exists thanks to the sword.”[7] Religious euphoria bonds with the Islamic maxim: Din Muhammad bi’l Saif (the religion of Muhammad by the sword). Khomeini demanded that no one should insult Islam by calling it a religion of peace. His Hamas proxies, bold and ferocious, did not disappoint.
The classic Islamic works – Sirat Rasul Allah and The Sahih Al-Bukhari Anthology – relate the gruesome actions and instructions of Muhammad against enemy forces. They document his war against his own Quraysh tribe, the expulsion of the Bani al-Nadir tribe, and the slaughter of the Bani Qurayza. Mercy, attributed to Allah in the opening Al-Fatiha Koranic verse, was not included in the arsenal of qualities or attributes of Muhammad’s Muslims. A traditional saying commands: “Kill any Jews that fall into your power.” The Hamas Charter (Art. 8) cites the movement’s slogan: “Allah is its target, the prophet is its model, the Koran its constitutions, jihad is its path and death for the sake of Allah is the loftiest of its wishes.”[Bold Text Blog Editor’s] In a street rally in Ramallah weeks into the Gaza War, the chant arose: “Whoever has a rifle, shoot a Jew.”[8]
The goal of the Nazis was to kill all the Jews and cleanse Germany of any Jewish presence. The Palestinians are unarguably their true successors and ideological compatriots in the Middle East, fighting to cleanse Israel of all Jews.
Reflections on Gnostic Heresy
The Hamas-Nazi analogy requires a few final reflections. Four distinctive features define the resemblance:
One: they engaged in the dehumanization of the Jews, as vermin (rats and parasitic insects) by the Nazis, and as apes and pigs by Hamas;
Two: they had the singular and obsessive objective of killing Jews more than even victory in war;
Three: they aspired to achieve global conquest in the name of their ideology – Nazism and Islamism – without compromise.
Four: German Nazism emerged in the 1920s with a fervent hatred of Great Britain and saw her as the major strategic rival, so to the Muslim Brotherhood – Hamas’ parent organization – was born in the same decade and saw Britain, with its mandate over Palestine, its Great Power enemy. The shame of the Versailles Treaty for Germany compared with the humiliation of the Balfour Declaration for the Arabs.
Germans and Palestinians acted under a mysterious spell, they did things out-of-the-ordinary in a conflictual-military context. They burnt Jews alive, and Hamas in earlier years conjured up the holocaust “still to come upon the Jews.”[9] A primordial force operated in such cultures dedicated to domination but also destruction, the perpetrators never blaming themselves. They do not countenance the possibility of error. The Nazi truth and the Hamas truth are unassailable: the faithful ask no questions. Hitler youth in Germany and Islamic youth in Palestine receive an education that prepared them to sacrifice, murder, and die. [Bold Text Blog Editor’s] [10] Anointed to rule with a mission to launch a new era, Nazism and Islamism set forth to build a new world.
Only with such language and interpretation can we begin to grasp the violent nightmares that these diabolical gnostic forces imposed on their Jewish victims, and the world.[11] Hitler’s declaration of the Thousand Year Reich, and Islam’s belief in the Coming of the Mahdi or the Day of Judgment, make possible and permit every conceivable monstrosity.

PMW has been actively involved in Israel’s war efforts from the very start of the Gaza War, both on a global scale and with Israel’s government and security services.
PMW is supplying Israeli security services with vital information on a daily basis. PMW closely monitors hundreds of Palestinian social media sites and shares critical information regarding terror in real-time with Israeli Army Intelligence. When the Army asked PMW to investigate four terrorists, PMW quickly sent them a detailed report. The Army’s response was: “Amazing, amazing, amazing …. The information is excellent.”
Over the past few weeks, I have traveled thousands of miles and spent many hours speaking in parliaments throughout Europe. Last week, I spoke at the European Parliament in Strasbourg and at the Norwegian Parliament. Yesterday I gave a Zoom lecture to members of the Italian senate, and next week I will speak at the European Parliament in Brussels and at the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva. Israeli ambassadors have also called PMW for information to use in their lectures and PR for Israel.
In my presentations, I focus on the PA/Fatah’s support of Hamas’ slaughter on October 7, as well as their calls to Palestinians in the West Bank to join the terror war. I also urge countries to accept Israel’s position that the PA cannot be the replacement to run Gaza once Israel destroys Hamas. It was the PA’s messages that PMW has been warning about for years that generated the support for Hamas that led to the October 7 atrocities.
I am giving between 1 and 4 interviews a day to the Israeli and foreign media. Fox News reported on the financial rewards the PA will give the terrorists and the Wall Street Journal[WSJ subscription may be required] published my op-ed this past Monday.
PMW’s activities with the army, internationally, and with the media have expanded significantly and our critical role in supporting Israel’s war effort has stretched PMW to the max. To continue to fulfill all these and Israel’s expanding needs daily, we must urgently hire additional staff and urgently need additional funding to do so.
Please contribute today to PMW. Your support is needed now more than ever.
Blog Editor: The following embedded links are from the email and are numerous so the email urls will be as is. They may or may not work depending on your browser security. I pray they do function because the info drives Jew-Haters and dedicated Muslims nuts when confronted with facts rather than propaganda.
I’m sharing two posts I read on 11/28 but probably won’t make it to my blogs until 11/29 due to personal time constraints.
The first share is about an issue emerging not only in America but also world-wide: Which is the disconcerting emergence Antisemitic Jew-Hatred. It’s CRAZY to blame ALL Jews for the ideology and actions of Leftist Jews who have essentially abandoned the Covenant Promises the Almighty made with the descendants (And yes that includes Covenant-Keeping Converts) of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The Covenant-Breakers have to be clueless (or incredulously no longer care) the curses for Covenant-Breaking lie at their doorposts as much in this life as in the eternity that follows.
AND TO BE CLEAR I am not a Replacement Theology Christian. I am an Engrafted To The Covenants and Promises Christian via Adoption that comes by faith in the Redemptive Blood of the Risen Savior Jesus Christ. [Basis for this Bible Truth: Romans 11: 11-27; Ephesians 2: 1-22 AMPC]
The Title of the first share: “Israel In The Crosshairs: Part 1 – A Soviet Psy-Op Second to None”. Here’s first paragraph that caught my interest:
“The aftermath of Hamas’ Simchat Torah surprise attack on Israel has left us with definitive answers to several questions.
• The vaunted Two-State Solution, previewed in Hamas’ barbaric October 7th massacre of Israeli civilians, is dead in the water.
• Arab Muslims are serious about wiping Israel off the map.
• Jew hatred is alive and well.
• And yes, it can happen again.”
The second share is from is from Leo Hohmann’s Substack page entitled, “FBI tells Newsweek that Trump supporters are enemies of the state and must be secretly tracked, monitored, investigated: Will Trump supporters start to disappear leading up to and following the 2024 election? The FBI appears to be laying a narrative that hints of unprecedented actions on American soil.”
So if you are a MAGA proponent that voted for President Trump in the past, the Election Coup installed Biden Administration considers you an ENEMY OF THE STATE as in a Domestic Terrorist. AND IF THAT IS THE CASE, even though you have not committed one act of violence comparable to Islamic Terrorists, Antifa thugs or Black Lives Matters thugs. THEN America’s Modern Secret Police – The FBI (hearken back to Gestapo, NKVD [SHORT VERSION & LONG VERSION], KGB[HISTORY LEADING TO KGB & KGB FOCUSED], Stasi, etc.) – is preparing Secret Police-style actions against YOU.
PLEASE! I need more Patriots to step up. I need Readers willing to chip in $5 – $10 – $25 – $50 – $100. PLEASE YOUR generosity is NEEDED. PLEASE GIVE to Help me be a voice for Liberty:
If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. –Joseph Goebbels
PRELUDE
The aftermath of Hamas’ Simchat Torah surprise attack on Israel has left us with definitive answers to several questions.
The vaunted Two-State Solution, previewed in Hamas’ barbaric October 7th massacre of Israeli civilians, is dead in the water.
Arab Muslims are serious about wiping Israel off the map.
Jew hatred is alive and well.
And yes, it can happen again.
These are troubling discoveries, but we ignore the truth at our peril. And in that spirit, I’m going to forge ahead by not only commenting on the war between Hamas and Israel, but also by revisiting the history underlying this conflict in my article to follow.
But first I’d like to take a proverbial bird’s eye view of the whole situation.
There are three groups currently vying for world control. They are: the Chinese Communists, Muslim fundamentalists, and the Luciferian globalist elites with their plan for a New World Order/One World Government/Great Reset. [Bold Text Emphasis is Blog Editor’s]
We might also include the Nazis’ vaunted plan for a Thousand Year Reich—but though we’re seeing Nazi eugenicist elements involving the mRNA vaccines, etc., we can include this element as a subset within the globalist NWO cabal—though to give the Nazi’s their due, the whole global plan is both communistic and fascistic in nature.
The Davos Elites, aka the globalist cabal, are the ultimate people without a state, as they have no loyalty to their own countries where they hold citizenship. Indeed, they coined the phrase “citizens of the world”—but that’s ostensibly meant for We the Serfs, as they prod us closer and closer to their planned Global Government. They clearly plan to be “rulers of the world,” not mere citizens. But they have no army or navy of their own, so how are they going to conquer the rest of us?
In part through the United Nations, which they fund generously—think about those whopping donations from great “philanthropists” like Bill Gates, who gave $1.2 billion in 2022 alone, Warren Buffett, who donates lavishly to the Gates Foundation which funds the UN and the WHO, and Ted Turner, who’s given $1 billion to the UN since 1997, etc. In fact, what they have is trillions of dollars and control of many governments through bought-and-paid-for government officials. As they say, money talks.
And of course we know they plan to force us all to use a digital currency they control, while monitoring and surveilling us 24/7, so they can zap us with Social Credit Score violations, giving them excuses to turn off our access to our money. Shades of the Mark of the Beast, and a dastardly underhanded way to starve the “dissidents” to death who refuse their enslavement.
Still, they have no physical force, no shock troops, no military of their own.
ENTER THE CHINESE COMMUNISTS AND MUSLIM JIHADIST ARABS
Hypothetically speaking, wouldn’t it be possible for the Luciferian elites to fund and otherwise help to inflame the Arab Muslim world, including Hamas and the Palestinians? Why have there been so many fruitless wars in the Middle East in the past two decades or so? And why was Europe forced to open its stable countries to hundreds of thousands of so-called “refugees” all from Muslim countries—i.e. jihadist refugees? Just think what a mess UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, has made of Europe. At the very least, they’ve destabilized Europe already, making a thorough takeover that much easier—and with the added benefit from their perspective, of making impressive inroads on destroying Western Civilization.
THEN AND NOW
Recall what Communism under Castro did to the previously flourishing tropical paradise of Cuba, or how Iran prospered and flourished under the Shah, who westernized and modernized the country, gave women the vote, and the right to abandon the chador in favor of Dior New Look glamorous outfits from Paris, etc. Then came Khomeini, the militant Islamist, and suddenly women were not only deprived of many rights, but covered from head to toe in heavy chadors or hijabs, leaving only their eyes visible. No wonder so many fled to the West! It was as if Khomeini thrust them into a time machine that took them back to the 7th century.
These two ideologies, Communism and Islam—which is an ideology as well as a religion—both rule with an iron fist. The resultant oppression, misery and poverty of the people in such nations seems unavoidable. The common denominator? Tyranny—exactly what our Founders sought to guard against in America. [Bold Text Emphasis Blog Editor’s]
And speaking of America, remember when we learned Chinese soldiers were training in Canada, near our northern border? Or that hidden among migrants trooping into America over our non-existent southern border under O’Biden’s regime, are military-aged men some of whom are from Muslim countries and likely jihadists? Do you think that the kind of killing spree and horrific massacre we witnessed on October 7th in Israel could never happen here?
But regardless of what evils the jihadist Muslims and Communist Chinese may yet inflict on other nations, I believe at present they are dangerous pawns in the hands of the psychopathic billionaire “elites.” It remains to be seen if either or both of the Frankensteinian monsters that currently serve the elites’ purpose, will turn on them in the end.
ISRAEL IN THE CROSSHAIRS, PART ONE: A SOVIET PSY-OP SECOND TO NONE
Suppose I were to tell you that the entire narrative about the Palestinians having lost their country was a fiction, a contrivance—a psy-op designed to enlist people’s sympathy for the Arabs living in Gaza and the West Bank, and to provoke anger towards Israel. In that case there would be no “Palestinians” since there never was a country called Palestine—a region, yes; a nation, no.
Who then would the Arab residents of Gaza be? Mostly Egyptians. And the so-called Palestinians in the so-called West Bank? Mostly Jordanians.
And if this were true, would you regard the current situation in Israel in the same light? Here’s another question:
If there never was an Arab country named Palestine, then what would be the meaning of the phrase, “From the river to the sea, Palestine shall be free”? It could only mean one thing: that Israel, the country nestled between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, would be eradicated, leaving no Jewish state in the Middle East.
One more point to underscore: if there was no nation of Palestine, there was no country stolen from the so-called Palestinians. [Bold Text Emphasis Blog Editor’s]
Well, hang on to your hats—it just so happens that the seemingly fanciful propositions I listed above are actually true.
It was not until the Romans crushed the second Jewish revolt against Rome in 135 A.D. under Bar Kochba that Emperor Hadrian applied the term Palestine to the Land of Israel. … He took the name of the ancient enemies of Israel, the Philistines, Latinized it to Palestine, and applied it to the Land of Israel. He hoped to erase the name Israel from all memory. Thus, the term Palestine as applied to the Land of Israel was invented by the inveterate enemy of the Bible and the Jewish people, Emperor Hadrian.
… the original Philistines were not Middle Eastern at all. They were European peoples from the Adriatic sea next to Greece… the original “Palestinians” had nothing to do, whatsoever, with any Arabs.
For decades, the Arabs have promoted the big lie that they are the indigenous people of the land, that the Jews were the colonizers who deprived them of their rights and that the Israelis continue to oppress and practice “genocide” against them. Every part of that is not only untrue but it is the “Palestinians” who seek aggressive conquest and the Israelis who are victims of their terror.
And Joseph Farah, founder of WND.com and a Christian Arab himself, has this to say:
There has never been a land known as Palestine governed by Palestinians. Palestinians are Arabs, indistinguishable from Jordanians (another recent invention), Syrians, Iraqis, etc. Keep in mind that the Arabs control 99.9 per cent of the Middle East lands. Israel represents one-tenth of one per cent of the landmass. But that’s too much for the Arabs. They want it all.
THE SOVIET/COMMUNIST CONNECTION
This begs the question: Who got the ball rolling regarding this fictional narrative? So let’s take a look at the origin of the Palestinian psy-op that by now is deeply ingrained in the media and the public square.
As described in great detail by historian David Meir Levy in his book History Upside Down: The Roots of Palestinian Fascism and the Myth of Israeli Aggression, the psy-op got its legs in the late 1960’s when radical Muslim Yassir Arafat was told by North Vietnamese leader Ho Chi Minh’s General Giap, “Stop talking about annihilating Israel and instead turn your terror war into a struggle for human rights. Then you will have the American people eating out of your hand.” Worked like a charm…
Though we have to give the Soviets credit for originating the fiction of the victimized Palestinians. It was pure Soviet disinfo, hatched along with their creation of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO)—one of their many fake “liberation” organizations in the 60s and 70s, along with those the Soviets pursued in Bolivia, Colombia, and Armenia.
Moreover, Egyptian-born Arafat, soon to become the leader of the PLO (Palestinian Liberation Organization), was coached by the masters, including Romanian Communist dictator Ceausescu. Here’s a telling fact:
In the PLO Charter preamble they actually had to use the phrase “Palestinian Arab People” to exclude those Jews who had retained a presence in Palestine since Biblical times and had been a majority population in Jerusalem as early as 1845.
In other words, in the region referred to as “Palestine”—which is basically a synonym for The Holy Land, The Promised Land, Zion, and Israel itself—there were Palestinian Jews, Arabs and Christians.
Interestingly, Arafat proved an unruly pupil at first, fixated on obliterating Israel and impatient with the Soviet subterfuge. But he eventually got with the Soviet program after Ceausescu worked on him:
Romanian Communist dictator Ceausescu, at Soviet urging, persuaded Arafat to abandon his claim of wanting to annihilate the Jews in Israel in favor of “liberating the Palestinian People” in Israel.
That it was a deception was admitted by PLO members themselves. For instance, in 1977, in an interview for a Dutch newspaper, PLO board member Zahir Muhsein stated that… there is no such thing as the “Palestinian People”, that the term’s use is a political ploy, and there is no quest for political self-determination —as soon as the Jews have been wiped out, sovereignty would be turned over to Jordan.
And Hafez Assad is on record stating that prior to 1964, Arabs we’re told are Palestinians, called themselves “citizens of Greater Syria.”
All this and more can be found in an article by Wallace Edward Brand, entitled, Soviet Russia, the Creators of the PLO and the Palestinian People. Through Soviet Orwellian doublespeak, jihad became “liberation,” and tiny Israel surrounded by hostile Arab Muslim nations became an “oppressor,” while the jihadists were recast as freedom fighters and oppressed victims, in a seemingly diabolical inversion of reality.
Ion Mihai Pacepa, the highest ranking Soviet defector of all time, was one of Arafat’s coaches. Here’s his revelation from a conversation he had with KGB Chairman Yury Andropov:
According to Andropov, the Islamic world was a waiting petri dish in which we could nurture a virulent strain of America-hatred, grown from the bacterium of Marxist-Leninist thought. Islamic anti-Semitism ran deep. The Muslims had a taste for nationalism, jingoism, and victimology. Their illiterate, oppressed mobs could be whipped up to a fever pitch.
Chronicles of a Communist Spy Chief in Romania – Mihai Pacepa [NWV Photo]
rabid, demented hatred for American Zionism by manipulating the ancestral abhorrence for Jews felt by the people in that part of the world.
In the mid-1970s we also started showering the Islamic world with an Arabic translation of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a tsarist Russian forgery that had been used by Hitler as the foundation for his anti-Semitic philosophy. We also disseminated a KGB-fabricated “documentary” paper in Arabic alleging that Israel and its main supporter, the United States, were Zionist countries dedicated to converting the Islamic world into a Jewish colony.
We in the Soviet bloc tried to conquer minds, because we knew we could not win any military battles. (Emphasis mine [i.e., Cherie Zaslawsky].)
And conquer minds they did, as one can see today by reading anti-Semitic and pro-Hamas articles galore in the news and online, and many more in readers’ comments. In fact, I’ve come across whole websites that spew the anti-Semitic rubbish about Zionists planning to take over the world, as well as people referring to the long-debunked “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” as if they’d just found the Holy Grail.
Of course myths die hard, and this one has become so entrenched many people will likely experience cognitive dissonance when learning the truth, and be tempted to shut it out. Nevertheless, it is essential to understand the actual facts if we’re to keep our moral compasses pointed to the true north.

FBI tells Newsweek that Trump supporters are enemies of the state and must be secretly tracked, monitored, investigated:
Will Trump supporters start to disappear leading up to and following the 2024 election? The FBI appears to be laying a narrative that hints of unprecedented actions on American soil.
Have you ever posted a comment to any social-media platform that was even remotely favorable towards Trump?
If so, you may be on an FBI watchlist.
According to an October 4 report in Newsweek, “the federal government believes that the threat of violence and major civil disturbance around the 2024 U.S. presidential election is so great that it has quietly created a new category of extremists that it seeks to track and counter: Donald Trump‘s army of MAGA followers.”
Notice the term “army.” There’s a sinister purpose behind that word. The government, in cooperation with its corporate partners at Newsweek, are trying to paint a picture of an organized military force ready to go to war with Trump as its leader.
As a member of the conservative movement in America, I can tell you that it is the most unorganized, disjointed and fragmented movement in the country. It is not in any way monolithic and as such poses no threat to the government or anyone else.
But this is who our government has targeted for monitoring and tracking.
They’re not worried about the Chinese men of military age pouring over the open border at a rate of 2,000 to 4,000 per month under Biden. They’re not worried about Iranian sleeper cells. NO, they’re worried about American citizens on the Trump team who want to see their candidate in the White House.
Here’s a blurb from the article:
The challenge for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the primary federal agency charged with law enforcement, is to pursue and prevent what it calls domestic terrorism without direct reference to political parties or affiliations—even though the vast majority of its current “anti-government” investigations are of Trump supporters, according to classified data obtained by Newsweek.
“The FBI is in an almost impossible position,” says a current FBI official, who supposedly requested anonymity to discuss highly sensitive internal matters.
The official told Newsweek that the FBI is intent on stopping domestic terrorism and any repeat of the January 6, 2021, “attack on the Capitol.”
But the FBI source told Newsweek that the agency must also preserve the Constitutional right of all Americans to campaign, speak freely and protest the government, as if it holds its nose and begrudgingly goes through the motions of “preserving” any of our rights.
This article is a laughing stock. Pure propaganda. [Bold Text Emphasis Blog Editor’s] But they’re not even good at creating propaganda because nobody with half of a working brain cell still believes the FBI has any respect for the Constitution. This is the same agency that threatened to investigate parents attending school board meetings and traditional Catholics who attend Latin masses. This is the same FBI that breaks down the doors of unarmed senior citizens like Roger Stone (see photo above from 2019), and arrests elderly women praying in front of abortion clinics.
By focusing on Trump and his MAGA supporters, the FBI official said, the Bureau runs the risk of provoking the very anti-government activists that the terrorism agencies hope to counter.
“Especially at a time when the White House is facing Congressional Republican opposition claiming that the Biden administration has ‘weaponized’ the Bureau against the right wing, it has to tread very carefully,” says the official.
Oh, such a poor FBI, crying crocodile tears because it has to at least pretend like it has constitutional boundaries within which it can conduct its Gestapo operations on American soil, violating households under cover of darkness, forcing its victims into black SUVs and hauling them off in handcuffs and leg irons to the American gulag as they await their show trials. [Bold Text Emphasis Blog Editor’s]
Their crime? These Americans are “anti-government” in their thinking.
Hmm. Unless there is a new category of crime passed by Congress, the thought crime, and I don’t recall such a law being passed, then it is no crime at all to be “anti-government.”
Any government that prosecutes one of its citizens for being “anti-government” is by nature tyrannical, because people living under a legitimate constitutional government would have no reason to be anti-government. By even accusing us of being guilty of being “anti-government,” our government has admitted to its own crimes against humanity. [Bold Text Emphasis Blog Editor’s]
This Newsweek article was perhaps the most pathetic psy op disguised as a news article I’ve ever seen. Its purpose was not to inform but to intimidate while presenting a facade of respect for our Constitutional rights.
This is exactly why the FBI should have never been created in the first place. Our founding fathers would have rolled over in their graves at the thought of a national police force. Even if it started out with a mission that focused on legitimate federal crimes such as foreign terrorists who infiltrated America, any freedom-respecting constitutionalist could have predicted with a little common sense that it would one day be weaponized and turned against the domestic political opponents of an empowered elite.
This is why I am of the belief that the FBI should be totally defunded and permanently disbanded. If allowed to exist at all, it should be disarmed. You do not need to be armed in order to be a strictly investigative agency. Do your investigations and then turn the information over to state or local law enforcement, which could then make the decisions about whether to make any arrests.
Anyone who is a regular reader of mine knows I am no fan of Donald Trump. I turned against him when he rolled out a militarized vaccine program with an injection that wasn’t even a vaccine, using mRNA technology to tinker with human genetics. He’s also now gone soft on abortion, saying Republicans need to moderate their pro-life position. You’re either pro-life or you’re not, Donald. You can’t have it both ways. So I am done with Trump. I think he could even be a plant who is working for the other globalists, a type of Emmanuel Goldstein character from Orwell’s 1984. In short, controlled opposition.
But to say that Trump’s followers comprise the main threat to stability in the United States is utter nonsense and the FBI knows it. In fact, I would say that the FBI is a much bigger threat to American stability than the followers of Trump, Joe Biden, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., or any other political candidate.
For the record, I am not anti-government. I believe wholeheartedly in the need for government, but it must be legitimate government that exercises powers clearly delineated in the U.S. Constitution. Any powers not specifically enumerated to the federal government in that document rest with the states. That’s just a fact. Those at the top of the U.S. Justice Department and FBI know this. Don’t believe their lies. [Bold Text Emphasis Blog Editor’s] Don’t bite on their fake corporate “news.” The truth is that the FBI is an enforcer for what’s become a one-party state with the Democrats as the lead organ of oppression and the Republicans playing the role of fake opposition. They speak of an uprising because that’s what they want, the more violent the better. Don’t take the bait.
I’m embarking on what I can term a time-conservation share due to Thanksgiving weekend activities.
The theme: TYRANNY.
Share #ONE is Medical Tyranny as experienced by Dr. Simon Goddek. Dr. Goddek’s experience with Medical Tyranny led him from being a medical researcher in the Netherlands to living off-the-grid (kind of) in a Brazilian jungle. He shares via his Substack post on Thanksgiving Day 2023.
Share #TWO is the tyranny of Antisemitism. The insights of Pam Kohler posted on her Salvation and Survival blog on 11/21/23 should provide some interesting historical perspective. SADLY, the recent Israel/Hamas conflict has brought emboldened Jew-Haters out of the woodwork like cockroaches no longer afraid of the racist darkness that held them back. That includes many respected Conservatives and anti-Medical Tyranny advocates I still admire yet they seem to have forgotten (or perhaps ignorant thereof) of the inherent evil within Islamic ideology that not only specifically calls for the destruction of Jews and Christians but also for the bloody destruction of ANYONE who refuses to submit to the domination of Islam. HATE is encoded in the Islamic revered writings of the Quran, Hadith and Sira. (A good place to learn what Islam ACTUALLY teaches is from the writings of Bill Warner at his old yet still relevant Political Islam website.)
PLEASE! I need more Patriots to step up. I need Readers willing to chip in $5 – $10 – $25 – $50 – $100. PLEASE YOUR generosity is NEEDED. PLEASE GIVE to Help me be a voice for Liberty:
Many followers and subscribers have been curious about why I chose to live in the Brazilian jungle. I want to share this personal story for those interested.
I am Simon. Once a researcher at a prestigious university, I now reside in the Brazilian jungle. Here’s how this unexpected transition happened.
In early 2021, I publicly criticized the flawed peer-review process of Christian Drosten’s Covid PCR protocol paper. This led to significant repercussions: I was dismissed from my position at Wageningen University in the Netherlands, faced actions like the freezing of my bank account, and even had police encounters.
In January 2021, I wrote two Twitter threads on the peer-review procedure of Christian Drosten’s scientific publication about the Covid PCR test that formed the basis for the current political agenda. As an Editor of a Scientific Journal, I will give you some more insights into scientific peer-review processes and why fraudulent manipulation concerning … –READ FULL STORY”
Being unvaccinated, which is still the case, made my life in the Netherlands increasingly difficult. I desperately needed a change.
My options at that time were very limited, as medical tyranny had taken the whole world hostage. Since I had already worked as a professor in Brazil in the previous years and Bolsonaro was critical of both the plandemic and the ‘vaccination’, my choice quickly fell on Brazil to be my refuge.
Seeking solace from the chaos, I purchased land in the jungle, situated on a 1500m high mountain accessible only by 4×4 vehicles, and just 30 minutes from the nearest small village. Utilizing my skills in Adobe Illustrator and QR code generation, I prepared required documents, got on a plane, and escaped the societal madness in mid-2021.
Now, I live a fully self-sustainable life:
🍅 I’ve built two greenhouses for growing tomatoes, strawberries, passion fruits, and various vegetables.
🐟 A recirculating aquaculture system allows me to cultivate trouts.
⚡ My home is powered by solar panels and a 50Ah battery system, ensuring 24/7 electricity.
💦 The property’s multiple water sources are harnessed using a ram pump for water supply.
🔥 Water heating is achieved through solar collectors and a stove with a heat exchanger.
🍗 I raise Rhode Island Red chickens for eggs and meat.
🐗 Wild boars roam my land, providing an additional food source.
In the meantime, I lost another job when SINTEF terminated my contract in February for “exceeding my rights to freedom of expression on Twitter.” Currently, my livelihood depends on vitamin D and Omega-3 sales through Sunfluencer.com (Your support would be greatly appreciated, as it benefits not just me, but especially you! And don’t forget: There is no flu season, only a vitamin D deficiency season.).
Life here can be lonely, distanced from home and Western culture. However, services like Starlink keep me connected, and I’m well-prepared for any future crises. Thankfully, I still have the freedom to travel, at least until new policies might restrict that.
As for transportation, my car runs on ethanol, produced from local biomass, making me self-reliant in that aspect too, so Klaus Schwab can kiss my a$$.
If you’ve read this far, let’s turn this post into a platform for sharing ideas: How do you or would you resist the Great Reset?
Before I get to the point of this post, I want to share a particular testimony … There are times I discern something in my spirit so strongly and unexpectedly, that I know without a doubt, that it is coming from God. Somehow, I know that the thoughts I am experiencing are not my thoughts, and their sudden emergence is either from God or Satan. This happened to me in 2015 during a visit to #Holocaust Museum Houston. My husband and I had visited the much larger national #Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington D.C. in 2012, and it was a specific story that drew us to its counterpart in Houston.
The pictures and possessions of the children and parents and grandparents who were incinerated in the ovens broke my heart, and my emotions were overwhelmed as I noticed how many of the photos [of those who survived] were donated by their descendants who were part of the huge Jewish population in Houston — and I recognized some of the names of college friends from my days as a University of Texas student, making it even more personal. But it was the little known WWII story that had compelled Mark and me to make the trip to this honored Museum.
There was to be a rededication of a WWII Danish rescue boat, named #Hanne Frank, what the Houston Chronicle called “a rare World War II artifact that was part of an even rarer effort”. The article when on to report … “While the Nazis were marching across Europe, the Danes made a remarkable decision. They were going to make sure the German war machine did not take Danish Jews to concentration camps. Denmark was the only country to make a nationwide effort to save their Jewish population with fisherman ferrying more than 7,200 Jews to safety in Sweden.’ They never considered themselves heroes,’ said Consul Anna Thomsen Holliday of Denmark. ‘They were just doing what was right.’ ” I invite you to read the entire #article for a detailed picture of what this boat meant to the community.
It was this exhibit and its story that preceded the strong prompting that my spirit received. I found myself approaching the docent at the Museum. I told her, “This is going to sound strange to you, but if you would consider it, I would like to leave our name and phone number, because I believe there will soon come a time when we Christians will once again need to protect Jews — only it will happen here in our own country”. Well, you can imagine that she looked at me like I was a lunatic, and stammered some polite response, but took down our information. Once again, God had called us to be #Watchmen on the Wall; to warn of some impending event that He wanted His people to be made aware of. As I look back at that moment 8 years ago, no events were in sight, yet like the Danish boatmen in WWII, Mark and I just wanted to make ourselves available to “do what is right”.
Today, my prompting no longer seems so crazy or impossible. The rise in anti-Semitism around the world is climbing at an alarming rate. As the American Church, there are many Christians who automatically assumed that the nations of the world would rally around Israel in her time of need. And Christians assumed they knew who Israel was, but I invite you to read a couple of recent posts I’ve written about the #history of Israel in the Middle East, and the reality of #who Israel is today. Above all, I urge you to read and study your Bible! I am amazed at how little Western Christians know the Biblical Truth about God’s chosen people, and the near total lack of understanding [by Christians] of spiritual Israel versus worldly Israel.
Mark and I have been blessed that God has led us to people who have deep connections with #Messianic Jews and their faith organizations in Israel. So, we have been able to get their perspective on the war in Israel and how this minority population of Believers in Jesus [as the Messiah] are faring in the midst of rising persecution. I’d like to share the thoughts of one of the Messianic ministers in Israel [in his own words]. Rather than relying on the news media and social media to tell you what the reality is for a believing Jew in Israel, let Youval Yanay of #Revive Israel share his truth ….
“The Word of God describes a great war that will break out in the last days, a war in which all nations will gather, lay siege, and attack Jerusalem and Judah. This war will be an intense and cruel war, the mountains will be filled with the bodies of the dead, and cruel acts will take place in the cities (Ezekiel 30-30, Zechariah 12, 14, Revelation 16:14-16, Revelation 19:19-21, and more).
Over the years, when I read these prophecies, such a war seemed unimaginable. After all, while we have many enemies, there are so many countries that would never attack Israel. Following World War II and the atrocities committed during the Holocaust, countries throughout the West became loyal friends of the State of Israel whom we believed would never turn against us.
Today, we see something different, a wave of anti-Semitism spreading like fire throughout the entire world, even in countries once considered loyal friends of Israel.
In the well-known and esteemed Harvard University, where many world leaders are shaped and educated, the slogan #“From the river to the sea” has emerged as a prominent rallying cry in today’s protests against Israel. It is prominently displayed throughout this university campus. But what does this slogan signify? It refers to the territory between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. For anyone familiar with the map of the Middle East, this slogan implies Israel ceases to exist, conveying a message for the destruction of Israel.
Will this wave of anti-Semitism calm once the war ends as has happened in the past? Maybe this time something different is happening before our eyes. For every nation to engage in an attack against Israel, there must be widespread hatred toward Israel, compelling them to attack. It will include leaders from every nation, people of culture, intellectuals, and academics with educated and influential leaders leading their nations to war against Israel. The present circumstance doesn’t currently exist, but are we witnessing the initial stages of a process that could give rise to such a situation? Is this a seed of hate that, when cultivated and matured, may lead to decisions triggering the prophesied great war at the end of days?
Before World War II, anti-Semitism was widely tolerated in Western societies. While not everyone was anti-Semitic, there were varying degrees of anti-Semitism. Some wanted to see the destruction of Jews while others didn’t like them, or just found them unpleasant.
World War II, and the shock of what happened during the Holocaust, delegitimized anti-Semitism. For several decades, it became much more difficult to publicly express anti-Semitic tendencies and be considered a member of culture. For several decades, anti-Semitism was marginalized. It didn’t disappear but was pushed to the margins. It was a golden age that allowed for the rapid growth of the American Jewish community, and its unprecedented prosperity, and an era that allowed some communities in Europe, Canada, Australia, and Argentina to exist with a sense of security.
A few years ago it became clear that this era was coming to an end. The Second World War, a vivid and recent memory for the preceding generation, has become in this generation a historical event that is far away. Demographic, ideological, and geopolitical changes allowed anti-Semitism to rise. First, hesitantly, and now suddenly in capital cities throughout Western Europe. You have to rub your eyes to really believe what you are seeing: Jewish homes in Paris marked with the Star of David and respected academics expressing satisfaction with the brutal murder of Jews.
Is this something that will pass until another time or is it here to stay—setting the anti-Semitism bar to a new and higher level? If so, how high will this bar be? Is it now, once again, possible to express anti-Semitic ideas and still be considered an educated person of culture, just as it was before World War II? Are we standing at the beginning of the great war at the end of time (Mark 13:33)?
Maybe, maybe not. We need to be careful to make such predictions. Our part is to pray, study, read the Word, and be busy with what God has prepared for us: Draw near to Him, long for His presence, listen to Him, and obey His commandments as we leave our old selves behind, conform to the image of Jesus (Romans 8:29) and proclaim His Kingdom (Acts 1:8).
When we do these things, we prepare ourselves, our family, and our community for whatever is to come. In peace or war, we have nothing to fear, our strength is in the faithfulness and love of Jesus”….
You have just heard the heart of a faithful Messianic Jewish man, who is not even respected in his own nation of Israel. He is hated by the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community; despised by the majority of his fellow countrymen, who are secular; and discounted by the political non-religious leaders of his government. But he knows the Bible and the prophecies of the End Times, and he understands what is coming; he recognizes it because the warnings are in his DNA.
I pray that we have not yet reached the level of Satan’s hate that will come against the Jews and Christians. I pray that mankind might yet turn back from evil and seek the Most High God and His forgiveness. But, I’ll be honest, I see the prophecies unfolding rather quickly and like Youval, I am trying to prepare family and friends for whatever may come, while remaining strong in obedience and faithfulness to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. And I pray that my prompting of 8 years ago — to make ourselves available to harbor Jews during another holocaust and persecution — will not be necessary. May the Lord protect His #Jewish remnant until all who will call upon His Name are identified and fall to their knees and worship Him.
Zechariah 14:2-3 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city will be captured and the houses plundered and the women ravished; and half of the city will be exiled, but the rest of the people will not be cut off from the city. Then the Lord will go forth and fight against those nations, as when He fights on a day of battle.
Upfront – just to provoke all those Jew-Haters out there – here is a stand that will probably enflame many especially in our current Woke-Culture:
I believe Islam is an Antichrist-spirit theopolitical religion.
I am Pro-Israel
I consider myself a Christian Zionist but I separate myself from Covenant-Breaking Leftist Jewish Zionists who appear to me to have more an affinity to Socialist (God-help-them even Marxist) ideology more than the Almighty’s Covenant of Promise to the lineage of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. It’s my opinion: Being a Leftist Jew is an oxymoron. Clinging to a Jewish heritage yet separating from the precepts of Covenant is a sure recipe for a damnation descent rather than a Heavenly ascent. AND I realize the Jewish concept of Heaven and Hell (views HERE, HERE & HERE) is not the same as it is for a Christian. WHICH probably goes a long way to explain the existence of Jews clinging to their Jewishness yet living Leftist lives. And perhaps one reason Religiously Observant Jews who look for a Messiah have not recognized the son of Mary married to Joseph as THE Messiah (other than the historical Christian horrific persecution of Jews – Perspectives: HERE, HERE & HERE) – Jesus the Son of God.
The Arabs who call themselves Palestinians are a made up people who are just as much recent immigrants to the Jewish Homeland as the European Jews who immigrated back to their Homeland (circa pre-WWI through circa post WWII) with the hope of escaping pogroms and persecutions. The irony being Arab immigration was the result of European Jews creating employment situations by making the land usable again for farming. The people living in the Jewish Homeland before Arab and European Jewish immigration were a combination of Sephardic Jews who lived there at least from the Babylonian Captivity Return (and by extension earlier prior to the first Diaspora) and a peasant-class (fellah) tenant farmers who were lived nearly like old feudal serfs to absentee wealthy Arab land owners. Another irony being prior to Arabs seeking employment immigration, the primarily urban Sephardic Jews outnumbered the tenant-farmer rural fellah Muslims.
IT IS the brainwashing aspect of Arab-Pretend-Palestinians that leads me to conclude – certainly to be ridiculed by Leftists, Pro-Palestinians, Unwitting Conservative Condemners of Israel’s reprisals, et al – There are NO INNOCENT PALESTINIAN CIVILIANS. Indeed with a little digging, you’ll discover so-called civilians are willing HUMAN SHIELDS protecting their active Hamas terrorists and Hamas weaponry. AND WORSE, these so-called innocent HUMAN SHIELDS willingly sacrifice their children by making them HUMAN SHIELDS for the glory of Allah.
This where this post becomes lengthy. From here I embark to cross post information the Mockingbird Media and the supporters of Hamas Terrorism would rather say, “Believe our propaganda, not what you see and read.”
AND a bit of caveat that might irritate a few Pro-Israel supporters: Both the U.S. Government and the Israeli Government are inundated with Left-Wing-Globalists who would love to see any pretense for a global war to usher in a New World Order leading up to and including a ONE-World Government. The American Taxpayer can no longer afford foreign interventionism with an Obamanized/Bidenized military complex ran by weenies and military-Patriots purged from service or leadership. THE ONLY THING I’M WILLING TO GIVE ISRAEL IS MILITARY HARDWARE – NOT EVEN MONEY. But I will not condemn Israel for finally moving the terrorist capabilities and abilities of Islamic Terrorist pseudo-Palestinians FAR AWAY from killing their Jewish citizens. Even if idiot HUMAN SHIELDS willingly sacrifice themselves and their very children rather than take actual peace offers of UNDESERVED nationhood from Israel! I am now an Isolationist – NO MORE FOREVER WARS AND NO MORE AMERICAN BLOOD for useless Globalist wars!
In Case YOU Want to KNOW about Actual Islamic Ideology:
PLEASE! I need more Patriots to step up. I need Readers willing to chip in $5 – $10 – $25 – $50 – $100. PLEASE YOUR generosity is NEEDED. PLEASE GIVE to Help me be a voice for Liberty:

Children as Young as 10 Took Part in Hamas’s Oct. 7 Terror Attack, Survivors Say
Gazan children plunder Kibbutz Nir Oz in Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. (Via Eyal Barad) – Washington Free Beacon Photo
EILAT, Israel—Eran Smilansky, a 28-year-old potato farmer, watched Gazan children go from house to house in his kibbutz on Oct. 7. Hamas terrorists followed. The boys laughed as the gunmen shot or dragged away Israeli families.
“They were like young, young kids,” said Smilansky, who defended his home from terrorists for more than six hours that day. “They were going in front of the terrorists, laughing with their friends and looking very calm. I remember thinking, What the fuck?”
Smilansky was one of a dozen survivors of the Nir Oz massacre who told the Washington Free Beacon they witnessed boys or women from the Gaza Strip looting the kibbutz, helping the armed terrorists, and apparently enjoying themselves. The youngest children were around 10 years old, according to several of the survivors, one of whom provided photographs of some of the women and children he saw. The survivors spoke at a hotel in Eilat, Israel’s Red Sea resort town, where most of them have been temporarily relocated.
While the involvement of Gazan children and women in Hamas’s terrorist attack is not widely understood, evidence exists in the public domain. An online video of a 12-year-old Israeli boy’s abduction from Nir Oz, Israel, appears to show a Gazan boy of about the same age accompanying the kidnappers. Boys were among the mob of Gazans recordedcrossingintoIsrael after Hamas terrorists breached the border. And a Hamas-linked Associated Press stringer photographed a Gazan boy entering Kfar Aza, a kibbutz about 15 miles north of Nir Oz.
Hamas has used its nearly two decades of rule over Gaza to weaponize a generation of Palestinians against the Jewish state, according to analysts. In addition to the children, hundreds of ordinary Gazans, including teenagers, joined in Hamas’s bloody rampage across southern Israeli communities, the Free Beacon reported.
“Hamas directed the education system, the media, and the religious institutions to brainwash children, who make up half of Gaza’s 2.2-million-person population,” Michael Milshtein, the head of the Palestinian Studies Forum at the Moshe Dayan Center of Tel Aviv University, told the Free Beacon. “Israelis got their first up-close look at this Palestinian Gen Z on Oct. 7.”
Like most of the Nir Oz survivors, Eyal Barad and his family hid in the safe room of their house from about 6:30 a.m. until the Israeli military evacuated them 12 or so hours later. But Barad, an engineer, had a rare view of the outside world thanks to a speed camera he had recently set up to bust his neighbors for driving on the sidewalk.
On the camera’s livestream, Barad watched three types of Gazans pass by his house: uniformed Hamas commandos carrying automatic weapons, RPGs, and grenades; casually dressed gunmen; and ordinary-looking men, women, and children. Barad said the ordinary Gazans vastly outnumbered the armed terrorists. He estimated that he saw at least a dozen children, who were between the ages of 10 and 15, and 30 women from Gaza.
The armed terrorists were in charge, Barad recalled. They gave orders to the ordinary Gazans, like sending the children to loot specific homes. At one point, Barad saw a woman run up to an armed terrorist and point him toward a house.
“I’m guessing she saw people she wanted him to go kill or kidnap or I don’t know what,” Barad said. “But I can say with 100 percent certainty that [the women and kids] were not just innocent bystanders or looters. They were part of the massacre. They were part of the horrors that we endured that day.”
“How can a parent send a kid to do that?” added Barad, who has three young children. “I want to shelter my kids as much as I can. I want to try to prevent them from seeing and meeting the horrible things that this world can do. And they send their kids into the most horrible situation in the world to go and steal stuff?”
Barad’s neighbor was abducted and the houses next to his were looted and burned. His father-in-law was killed nearby. But for reasons Barad does not understand, no one came into his house.
While Barad’s speed camera lacked the capability to save the livestream footage, it did snap photos 155 of moving objects between about 9:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. Barad shared the images with the Free Beacon. At least five Gazan boys and two Gazan women can be seen riding stolen bicycles.
Amotz Bazer, a 52-year-old farm worker from Nir Oz, was hiding in his safe room with his wife and three daughters when his kitchen window was shot out. He heard the gunmen push two young boys through the window. The boys then opened the front door for the armed terrorists.
“They were not older than 10,” said Bazer, who understands some Arabic after decades of working alongside Arabs in the fields. “I heard their voices, and I have kids, so I know.”
Several waves of looters ransacked the house, but Bazer and his family were not discovered. Bazer had dragged a cabinet in front of the safe room before squeezing through the door that morning.
Natali Yohanan, a 38-year-old English teacher, said she thinks every day about what she would say if she met the young Gazan woman who took over her house. As Yohanan huddled in the safe room with her husband and two young children, the woman sang and danced, heated up leftovers, and watched TV on the couch.
“She turned on Netflix and changed it to Arabic. And she stayed in my house for hours, for hours and hours,” Yohanan said. “It was very, very, very humiliating for us to know that this young woman was in our house, coming and taking whatever she wanted. She wasn’t even afraid. That’s what was very hard for us.”
Yohanan said the woman was accompanied by a group of armed terrorists. She served the men drinks and told them which items she wanted them to loot for her. They took Yohanan’s jewelry, makeup, designer underwear, shoes, sunglasses, and passport, as well as her children’s clothing and toys.
“I think she’s a young mother. I’m a young mother,” said Yohanan, whose father and dog were killed in the kibbutz on Oct. 7. “And it’s very hard for me as a mother to think about a woman who came to my home and saw the pictures of my kids and still came to steal and to terrify my kids.”
As for what she would say to the woman, Yohanan said: “I would tell her that she’s a thief. That’s all she is. I think she believes there’s honor in stealing, being part of the thing they did to us. But there’s no honor in that.”
Raziel Tamil, 26, was hiding in a citrus grove a few miles north of Nir Oz on the morning of Oct. 7. Tamil, a restaurant worker from Kiryat Ono, had fled the Nova music festival in Re’im, Israel, after terrorists showed up and began massacring at least 260 of his fellow partygoers.
When Tamil looked back toward the festival grounds, several hundred feet away, he said he saw Hamas commandos holding a group of Israelis at gunpoint. Several children, ages about 6 to 10, then emerged from a pickup truck wearing Hamas outfits, he said.
“You could see the people on their knees and like begging for their life,” Tamir said. “I heard the screaming.”
According to Tamir, the commandos gave some of the children rifles and directed them to execute hostages, which they did. The terrorists shot more of the hostages and loaded the survivors into the truck, he said.
At that point, Tamil said, he ran further into the citrus grove, where he met up with his friend Alex Kalinin, a 27-year-old sales manager from Yehud, Israel. They eventually located Israeli troops, who evacuated them to safety.
Kalinin said Tamil had told him about witnessing the execution. But Kalinin was already too deep in the citrus grove to have seen it himself, the men agreed. The Free Beacon could not confirm that Gazan children were at the Nova music festival let alone that they killed Israelis on orders from Hamas terrorists.
Milshtein, who before joining Tel Aviv University was the head of the Department for Palestinian Affairs in the Israel Military Intelligence Directorate, said it was plausible that Hamas had used children to execute Israelis on Oct. 7. He noted that Hamas teaches children to celebrate violence against the Jewish state starting in preschool and runs summer camps that provide military training and anti-Israel education to some 100,000 children and teenagers each summer.
“This has always been the Palestinians’ culture,” Milshtein said. “What changes is their capability to act against Israel.”

As misinformed and indoctrinated college students continue to fall prey to the poison of Islamic totalitarian propaganda regarding the victim status that has been bestowed on Hamas, it would be prudent to push back against the false narratives flooding out of the mainstream media. As the facts present, Hamas is the aggressor – a totalitarian aggressor – which has more in common with Marxism than those who value individualism and freedom – the true ideology of the Western World.
Islamism and Marxism, at different times and in various regions, have exhibited totalitarian tendencies; and authoritarian appropriation through the use of oppression and violence at times tallying the slaughter of tens of millions in their quest for control, albeit for different reasons.
While their ideological underpinnings may seem fundamentally unique, there are notable and significant similarities in how they have manifested as forms of authoritarian governance. In the end, Islamic, Socialist, and Communist rule is – in every circumstance throughout history – oppressive and antithetical to freedom, choice, self-determination, and liberty.
A Cursory Historical Context
To understand the oppressively totalitarian similarities between Islamism and Marxism, it’s crucial to consider the historical context in which these ideologies emerged and gained power.
Islamism, a relatively contemporary political ideology circa 610 A.D., is based on a strict and fundamentalist interpretation of Islam. Devout Islamists consider the Quran as the literal word of Allah (words not open to interpretation), and the Hadith (mandated Muhammadian traditions for all Muslims). This stands in stark contrast to the Christian Bible and the Hebrew Torah, which are all interpretive records of individuals – Holy and otherwise – and historical accounts sans, the Ten Commandments.
More contemporarily, the 1979 Iranian Revolution, led by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, marked a turning point in the spread of political Islam. It demonstrated the potential for a religious movement to seize control of a state and establish an Islamic theocracy. Since then, various Islamist groups and regimes have emerged across the Muslim world, including the Taliban in Afghanistan, the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Hamas in Gaza, and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Marxism, on the other hand, originated in the 19th century with the works of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. It evolved into various forms – including socialism, with communism being the most prominent.
The October Revolution in 1917 brought the Bolshevik Party to power in Russia, establishing the first communist regime. The 20th century witnessed the often violent spread of communism across Eastern Europe, Asia, and parts of Africa. It led to oppressive totalitarian regimes in countries like the Soviet Union, China, and North Korea, each of which came at the price of human purges – pogroms – that resulted in the mass slaughter of millions of people.
While the historical contexts of Islamism and Marxism differ in terms of geography, time, and ideological foundations (addressed later), both ideologies emerged in opposition to established political orders based on individualism and liberty and sought to establish new, elitist, authoritarian systems of governance.
The False Promise of Utopian Ideological Foundations
While Islamism and Marxism have distinct ideological foundations, there are noteworthy similarities in how each defines their respective “utopian societies.”
Islamism is rooted in a strict fundamentalist interpretation of Islam, aiming to establish a society governed by Islamic law or Sharia law. Its vision of a utopian society is deeply Muhammadian, emphasizing the “moral” and “ethical” values in their exclusive accordance with the Quran and Hadith, which have been proven to be authoritarian texts. In the Islamist view, a “just” and “virtuous” society can only be achieved through the application of Islamic jurisprudence.
This jurisprudence includes a woman to provide 4 male witnesses to any accusation of rape. If the woman claims rape and doesn’t provide 4 males willing to testify on her behalf, the woman is essentially admitting to having engaged in adultery, a “moral” crime punishable by death by stoning.
Marxism, in contrast, is a secular ideology that focuses on class struggle and the abolition of private property. The utopian vision of Marxism is a classless society based on equity where the means of production are collectively owned. It envisions any government based on the idea of individualism, liberty, and the will of the people eventually withering away, resulting in a society where resources are distributed according to the principle “from each according to their ability, to each according to their needs.”
Of course, even in a Marxian utopia, there would need to be a class (read: privileged and elite) that assures the acquiescence of the people to the “will of the collective” and defined by that elevated class, obliterating the “classless society” immediately in its use of an elite class of overseers.
Despite these foundational differences, both ideologies share a common aspiration to create an “ideal society.” They view the existing order as corrupt, oppressive, and in need of radical transformation. This shared vision of a utopian society is a critical similarity between Islamism and Marxism, as it motivates their followers to pursue authoritarian – and often lawless and violent – means to achieve their goals.
The Consolidation Of Power = Suppressing The Opposition
Totalitarian regimes, whether Islamist or Marxist, employ a range of methods to consolidate power and suppress opposition. These methods demonstrate striking similarities:
Suppression of Dissent: Both Islamism and Marxism rely on the suppression of dissent to maintain control. In Islamic theocracies like Iran, criticism of religious authorities or deviation from religious orthodoxy can lead to severe punishment or even execution. In Marxist states like the former Soviet Union and China, dissent against the ruling party’s ideology often resulted in imprisonment, forced labor, or execution.
Propaganda & Indoctrination: Both dogmas emphasize the importance of ideological purity, the propagation of their worldviews, and their dogma’s eventual global domination. In Islamist regimes, religious indoctrination is a mandatory central aspect of education and media. In Marxist regimes, the state controls information and promotes communist ideology through propaganda, censorship, and state-controlled media.
Cult of Personality: Totalitarian regimes, such as Islamism and Marxism are, often cultivate a cult of personality around their leaders. In Islamism, figures like Ayatollah Khomeini in Iran, Mullah Omar in Afghanistan, and the now-dispatched Osama bin Laden have been elevated to near-mythical status. In Marxism, leaders like Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong – almost in ignorance of the tens of millions they both killed in their quests for revolutionary power – became iconic symbols of their respective regimes, with their images adorning public spaces and their thoughts enshrined as dogma.
Surveillance & Control: Both Islamism and Marxism have used extensive, pervasive, and limitless surveillance and control mechanisms to monitor and suppress opposition (a critical debate on the use of these actions is currently underway in the Western Culture). This includes the use of secret police and informants to maintain social order. In both cases, citizens may live in fear of being reported for deviating from the official ideology.
Violence & Repression: Violence and repression are common features of totalitarian regimes. Islamist groups have engaged in acts of terrorism and violence to achieve their political goals. In Iran, for example, the LGBTQ community is marked for immediate execution, while “immodest” women are often “disappeared.” Similarly, Marxist regimes have been responsible for mass purges, forced labor camps, and political repression on a massive scale. One need only consider the Soviet Gulags or the Uygher “re-education” camps in communist China.
The Threat To Global Stability By These Dogmas
The totalitarian similarities – the oppression, manipulation, coercion, and violence – between Islamism and Marxism have significant implications for political, social, and global stability:
Human Rights Violations: Both ideologies, when implemented in a totalitarian fashion (as they most often are), have a track record of severe human rights violations. The suppression of individual freedoms, freedom of speech, and religious liberties is widespread in Islamist and Marxist regimes. Citizens may face persecution and violence for expressing dissenting views or practicing their religion. Nowhere is this more evident than in communist China where Yughars [Blog Editor: Wikipedia alternate spellings: Uyghurs, Uighurs, Uygurs & Uigurs] and Tibetans are indentured, or historically in the Soviet Union where Jews were subject to pogroms and detention in the gulags.
Destabilization: Totalitarian regimes based on Islamism or Marxism often contribute to regional and global instability. Today’s spread of radical Islamist groups like ISIS, al Qaeda, Hezbollah, and Hamas – as well as the expansionist ambitions of Marxist regimes both today and during the Cold War, have disrupted international relations and contributed by way of aggressive destabilization as the catalyst in several global and large regional conflicts, including World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and today’s War in Israel where the Israelis are being forced to defend themselves against Islamofascist aggression emanating from Hamas, al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, and Hezbollah, the former and the latter controlled by the Islamist mullahs of Iran.
Resistance & Opposition: Totalitarian regimes also face resistance and opposition, whether from domestic dissidents, external actors, or regional alliances. Opposition to these regimes can take various forms, including armed conflict, civil disobedience, and diplomatic pressure. Two very good examples of this come in the current Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the free world’s opposition and push back against the Marxist-based “woke” movement.
Ideological Appeal Via Indoctrination: Despite their grotesque flaws, authoritarian tendencies, and quests for world domination, Islamism and Marxism continue to appeal to weaker, less educated, and intellectually stunted segments of the population. Today, the purveyors of the totalitarian dogmas disingenuously position themselves as champions of justice, equality, and sometimes religious righteousness. They attempt to achieve transitional chaos through the Balkanization of populations using the strategy of divide et impera – divide and conquer, commonly attributed to Niccolò Machiavelli but first conceptualized by Philip II of Macedon, the father of Alexander the Great.
In The End…
While Islamism and Marxism have unique and separate ideological foundations and historical contexts, they share significant and dangerous totalitarian similarities in their methods of control and the consequences of their governance. Both ideologies claim to want to establish utopian societies but in reality want to assume the position of elite and privileged overseers to the whole of those utopian societies, thus proving the lie of the utopian concept.
In the end, both Islamists and Marxists are willing to employ deceptive, manipulative, oppressive, and deadly authoritarian means to achieve their goals. The implications of these similarities and these chosen tactics are profound, as they manifest in unspeakable human rights violations, contributing to regional and global instability.
Understanding these factual parallels is essential for elected officials and their subordinate policymakers – as well as those in academia, advocacy, and individuals seeking to address the dangers posed by authoritarian ideologies, not only in their impact on societies and global affairs but to the very existence of individualism and freedom in the world.
Sadly, today the Marxist ideology holds significant sway through a corrupted media and through a network of fascist elites who give short shrift to the sanctity of individual freedom in their quest for privilege and control.
So, the next time you see the ignorant masses of the Western university undergraduate community chanting catchphrases and screeching hate towards Israel at pro-Hamas protests; the next time you see demonstrations hawking social justice or diversity, equity, and inclusion; the next time you see con-artists like Ibrahim X. Kendi, Klaus Schwab, Robin DeAngelo, George Soros, Nicole Hanah-Jones, Hillary Clinton, or Barack Obama pontificating about the need for “change,” please identify what their core belief systems are and realize that they are not liberators or even supporting the continued existence of freedom. They are the power-greedy elites who seek to rule over their fake utopias; utopias that in and of themselves are lies.
[Blog Editor: Whew, a lot of reading. YET, if you are awakening to the emerging tyranny much of which is associated with Islam, Marxism and the odd combinations of Globalist Totalitarian ideologies; READING is a good KNOW YOUR ENEMY moment.
SO, I got one more. If you made it this far, I share this post about and written by Ayaan Hirsi Ali because she was an important source and inspiration to me in my early Counterjihad education days. This gal left Islam and the land of her birth and moved to the Netherlands and actually became an elected politician there while criticizing Islam and embracing atheism. ALL dangerous to life & limb under threat from Muslims believing such actions are worthy of death. According to Britannica.com she became U.S. citizen in 2013, but I know she is under constant threat from Muslims since she dares to criticize Islam. Frankly, for her safety I have know idea where she currently resides. AND NOW Ayaan Hirsi Ali has abandoned atheism and has embraced Christianity. I am guessing now she has completed the cycle of reasons to watch her back from threats from WOKE-Lefties and demon-influenced Muslims. For those who don’t about A.H. Ali, here is a brief excerpt from her website ABOUT PAGE:
“Ayaan is a Somali-born classical liberal. A free speech advocate. An activist for the rights of women and girls. A public intellectual with a powerful voice. A woman that does not back down when she sees a problem.
Previously a Member of the Dutch Parliament (2003-2006), she regularly called for furthering the integration of non-Western immigrants into Dutch society, and defending the rights of Muslim women.
Now, a Research Fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University and Founder of the AHA Foundation, she regularly comments on today’s issues and offers a platform to exchange perspectives that lead to real solutions.
AND NOW, to add to your potential lengthy reading, BELOW is the post Ayaan Hirsi Ali claims she is a Christian – well my impression is she learning to be a Christian. May the Almighty send her a modern Priscilla and Aquila to explain the Gospel more accurately.]

Why I am now a Christian
Atheism can’t equip us for civilisational war
Ayaan Hirsi Ali Webcapture of Photo attributed to Christian Marquardt/Getty Images
In 2002, I discovered a 1927 lecture by Bertrand Russell entitled “Why I am Not a Christian”. It did not cross my mind, as I read it, that one day, nearly a century after he delivered it to the South London branch of the National Secular Society, I would be compelled to write an essay with precisely the opposite title.
The year before, I had publicly condemned the terrorist attacks of the 19 men who had hijacked passenger jets and crashed them into the twin towers in New York. They had done it in the name of my religion, Islam. I was a Muslim then, although not a practising one. If I truly condemned their actions, then where did that leave me? The underlying principle that justified the attacks was religious, after all: the idea of Jihad or Holy War against the infidels. Was it possible for me, as for many members of the Muslim community, simply to distance myself from the action and its horrific results?
At the time, there were many eminent leaders in the West — politicians, scholars, journalists, and other experts — who insisted that the terrorists were motivated by reasons other than the ones they and their leader Osama Bin Laden had articulated so clearly. So Islam had an alibi.
This excuse-making was not only condescending towards Muslims. It also gave many Westerners a chance to retreat into denial. Blaming the errors of US foreign policy was easier than contemplating the possibility that we were confronted with a religious war. We have seen a similar tendency in the past five weeks, as millions of people sympathetic to the plight of Gazans seek to rationalise the October 7 terrorist attacks as a justified response to the policies of the Israeli government.
When I read Russell’s lecture, I found my cognitive dissonance easing. It was a relief to adopt an attitude of scepticism towards religious doctrine, discard my faith in God and declare that no such entity existed. Best of all, I could reject the existence of hell and the danger of everlasting punishment.
Russell’s assertion that religion is based primarily on fear resonated with me. I had lived for too long in terror of all the gruesome punishments that awaited me. While I had abandoned all the rational reasons for believing in God, that irrational fear of hellfire still lingered. Russell’s conclusion thus came as something of a relief: “When I die, I shall rot.”
To understand why I became an atheist 20 years ago, you first need to understand the kind of Muslim I had been. I was a teenager when the Muslim Brotherhood penetrated my community in Nairobi, Kenya, in 1985. I don’t think I had even understood religious practice before the coming of the Brotherhood. I had endured the rituals of ablutions, prayers and fasting as tedious and pointless.
The preachers of the Muslim Brotherhood changed this. They articulated a direction: the straight path. A purpose: to work towards admission into Allah’s paradise after death. A method: the Prophet’s instruction manual of do’s and don’ts — the halal and the haram. As a detailed supplement to the Qur’an, the hadeeth spelled out how to put into practice the difference between right and wrong, good and evil, God and the devil.
The Brotherhood preachers left nothing to the imagination. They gave us a choice. Strive to live by the Prophet’s manual and reap the glorious rewards in the hereafter. On this earth, meanwhile, the greatest achievement possible was to die as a martyr for the sake of Allah.
The alternative, indulging in the pleasures of the world, was to earn Allah’s wrath and be condemned to an eternal life in hellfire. Some of the “worldly pleasures” they were decrying included reading novels, listening to music, dancing, and going to the cinema — all of which I was ashamed to admit that I adored.
The most striking quality of the Muslim Brotherhood was their ability to transform me and my fellow teenagers from passive believers into activists, almost overnight. We didn’t just say things or pray for things: we did things. As girls we donned the burka and swore off Western fashion and make-up. The boys cultivated their facial hair to the greatest extent possible. They wore the white dress-like tawb worn in Arab countries or had their trousers shortened above their ankle bones. We operated in groups and volunteered our services in charity to the poor, the old, the disabled and the weak. We urged fellow Muslims to pray and demanded that non-Muslims convert to Islam.
During Islamic study sessions, we shared with the preacher in charge of the session our worries. For instance, what should we do about the friends we loved and felt loyal to but who refused to accept our dawa (invitation to the faith)? In response, we were reminded repeatedly about the clarity of the Prophet’s instructions. We were told in no uncertain terms that we could not be loyal to Allah and Muhammad while also maintaining friendships and loyalty towards the unbelievers. If they explicitly rejected our summons to Islam, we were to hate and curse them.
Here, a special hatred was reserved for one subset of unbeliever: the Jew. We cursed the Jews multiple times a day and expressed horror, disgust and anger at the litany of offences he had allegedly committed. The Jew had betrayed our Prophet. He had occupied the Holy Mosque in Jerusalem. He continued to spread corruption of the heart, mind and soul.
You can see why, to someone who had been through such a religious schooling, atheism seemed so appealing. Bertrand Russell offered a simple, zero-cost escape from an unbearable life of self-denial and harassment of other people. For him, there was no credible case for the existence of God. Religion, Russell argued, was rooted in fear: “Fear is the basis of the whole thing — fear of the mysterious, fear of defeat, fear of death.”
As an atheist, I thought I would lose that fear. I also found an entirely new circle of friends, as different from the preachers of the Muslim Brotherhood as one could imagine. The more time I spent with them — people such as Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins — the more confident I felt that I had made the right choice. For the atheists were clever. They were also a great deal of fun.
So, what changed? Why do I call myself a Christian now?
Part of the answer is global. Western civilisation is under threat from three different but related forces: the resurgence of great-power authoritarianism and expansionism in the forms of the Chinese Communist Party and Vladimir Putin’s Russia; the rise of global Islamism, which threatens to mobilise a vast population against the West; and the viral spread of woke ideology, which is eating into the moral fibre of the next generation.

We endeavour to fend off these threats with modern, secular tools: military, economic, diplomatic and technological efforts to defeat, bribe, persuade, appease or surveil. And yet, with every round of conflict, we find ourselves losing ground. We are either running out of money, with our national debt in the tens of trillions of dollars, or we are losing our lead in the technological race with China.
But we can’t fight off these formidable forces unless we can answer the question: what is it that unites us? The response that “God is dead!” seems insufficient. So, too, does the attempt to find solace in “the rules-based liberal international order”. The only credible answer, I believe, lies in our desire to uphold the legacy of the Judeo-Christian tradition.
That legacy consists of an elaborate set of ideas and institutions designed to safeguard human life, freedom and dignity — from the nation state and the rule of law to the institutions of science, health and learning. As Tom Holland has shown in his marvellous book Dominion, all sorts of apparently secular freedoms — of the market, of conscience and of the press — find their roots in Christianity.
And so I have come to realise that Russell and my atheist friends failed to see the wood for the trees. The wood is the civilisation built on the Judeo-Christian tradition; it is the story of the West, warts and all. Russell’s critique of those contradictions in Christian doctrine is serious, but it is also too narrow in scope.
For instance, he gave his lecture in a room full of (former or at least doubting) Christians in a Christian country. Think about how unique that was nearly a century ago, and how rare it still is in non-Western civilisations. Could a Muslim philosopher stand before any audience in a Muslim country — then or now — and deliver a lecture with the title “Why I am not a Muslim”? In fact, a book with that title exists, written by an ex-Muslim. But the author published it in America under the pseudonym Ibn Warraq. It would have been too dangerous to do otherwise.
To me, this freedom of conscience and speech is perhaps the greatest benefit of Western civilisation. It does not come naturally to man. It is the product of centuries of debate within Jewish and Christian communities. It was these debates that advanced science and reason, diminished cruelty, suppressed superstitions, and built institutions to order and protect life, while guaranteeing freedom to as many people as possible. Unlike Islam, Christianity outgrew its dogmatic stage. It became increasingly clear that Christ’s teaching implied not only a circumscribed role for religion as something separate from politics. It also implied compassion for the sinner and humility for the believer.
Yet I would not be truthful if I attributed my embrace of Christianity solely to the realisation that atheism is too weak and divisive a doctrine to fortify us against our menacing foes. I have also turned to Christianity because I ultimately found life without any spiritual solace unendurable — indeed very nearly self-destructive. Atheism failed to answer a simple question: what is the meaning and purpose of life?
Russell and other activist atheists believed that with the rejection of God we would enter an age of reason and intelligent humanism. But the “God hole” — the void left by the retreat of the church — has merely been filled by a jumble of irrational quasi-religious dogma. The result is a world where modern cults prey on the dislocated masses, offering them spurious reasons for being and action — mostly by engaging in virtue-signalling theatre on behalf of a victimised minority or our supposedly doomed planet. The line often attributed to G.K. Chesterton has turned into a prophecy: “When men choose not to believe in God, they do not thereafter believe in nothing, they then become capable of believing in anything.” [Blog Editor Bold Text Emphasis]
In this nihilistic vacuum, the challenge before us becomes civilisational. We can’t withstand China, Russia and Iran if we can’t explain to our populations why it matters that we do. We can’t fight woke ideology if we can’t defend the civilisation that it is determined to destroy. And we can’t counter Islamism with purely secular tools. To win the hearts and minds of Muslims here in the West, we have to offer them something more than videos on TikTok.
The lesson I learned from my years with the Muslim Brotherhood was the power of a unifying story, embedded in the foundational texts of Islam, to attract, engage and mobilise the Muslim masses. Unless we offer something as meaningful, I fear the erosion of our civilisation will continue. And fortunately, there is no need to look for some new-age concoction of medication and mindfulness. Christianity has it all.
That is why I no longer consider myself a Muslim apostate, but a lapsed atheist. Of course, I still have a great deal to learn about Christianity. I discover a little more at church each Sunday. But I have recognised, in my own long journey through a wilderness of fear and self-doubt, that there is a better way to manage the challenges of existence than either Islam or unbelief had to offer.
