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.

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/

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.

“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

Quite some time ago on a Social Media platform which I cannot recall (probably MeWe), I ran into a post that I thought would be a link to an informative post, but turned out to be a download of an Office Word Document. What got my attention was my initial reading was some criticism of Islam showing (what I believe) to be their demon-deity Allah to have originated from a pre-Islamic Arabic polytheistic past of a moon-god deity. This drives Muslims who are taught an absolute monotheism – NUTS.
Well, it turns out the Word Document is more – way more.
The document is a treatise on pre-Islamic worship, a large splash of the inherent violent nature that Islam teaches its adherents, a large section on Christian Biblical Prophecy and Islam may figure into it, some Christian tenets vs Islamic tenets and (much to my appreciation) a dose of excoriating Islam based on their revered writings (e.g.: Quran, Hadith & Sira).
This treatise is lengthy. My sense is there is an attempt at an appearance of some scholarly work, but it seems to be a patch work of a lot of copy and paste work. NEVERTHELESS, though lacking in erudition the treatise is loaded with food for thought some of which you might question, wonder, in some cases might disagree on Christian theological grounds depending on your personal beliefs AND devoted Muslims will scream remove the infidel’s head. The latter makes the treatise worth the read.
The author’s opinion on Islam and the terrorist attack is in the time-frame most Americans were convinced shortly after the 9/11 attack. Hindsight from information that has leaked has not changed my opinion of Islam being evil toward Christians and Jews, BUT has changed my opinion on the method and opportunity on how Muslim terrorists taught to hate all things not Islamic gained an access they were more than willing to carry out. I am not a blame the Jews kind of guy like many emerging American Patriots wondering how two hijacked passenger airliners were able to topple the Twin Towers in the similitude of an organized demolition. Some like to point to Israel’s Mossad Intelligence organization. My sense is American Intelligence (many point to the CIA, but I would be unsurprised to discover ALL the American Intel Alphabets were involved) for whatever nefarious purpose provided the ways, means and incitement on willing Islamic terrorists. Another guess on my part: Whatever the nefarious purpose behind American Intel facilitating a foreign attack on American soil killing thousands of Americans was likely in collusion with OTHER Globalist-goaled foreign Intel Agencies to usher in a fundamentally transformed New World Order in which Globalist Elitists few are the controllers of the masses via endless wars. (BTW, there are ungodly Left-Wing Globalists in Mossad not as prime movers but as co-conspirators.) BUT THAT IS ANOTHER STORY!
As I am typing this and including the treatise which I have attempted to edit with spell check and my eyes (and I probably missed something in the edit) is nearly the size of a 50-page Word Document. Gosh, that’s nearly a mini-book. You might want to bookmark to read as your time permits. I’m including some initial notes when I downloaded the document in June 2023.
PLEASE! I need more Patriots to step up. I need Readers to chip in $5 – $10 – $25 – $50 – $100. PLEASE YOUR generosity is NEEDED. PLEASE GIVE to Help me be a voice for Liberty:

Question: Is Allah of the Muslims the God of Christians?
I would say that it can’t be that way. There is only one true God, who revealed Himself in the Bible, through His prophets. And if we compare between the God of the Christians, and Allah of the Muslims and of the Quran, we will see a lot of differences. There is a difference in the attributes of Allah, and the Attributes of God of the Christians. There is a difference in the commandment of Allah of the Muslims and the commandments of the God of the Christians. There is a difference in the plan of salvation prepared by the God of the Christians, and the plan of salvation in Islam. And I might say here that the word ‘salvation’ was never ever mentioned in the whole Quran. Then lastly I would say that the god head in Islam is different than the god head in Christianity.
Question: What are the differences exactly of Allah of the Muslims and God of the Christians?
Well, you see, there is a difference in the attributes; there is a difference in the commandments; there is a difference in the plan of salvation, and it is a difference in its god head.
Question: Would you elaborate on that very first point?
Yes, I would say about the first point, his attributes. In the Quran there are 99 names for god. When you read the whole Quran, from Alfatiha, the first surah, till surah number 114, the last surah of the Quran, you will not find the word ‘father’ or ‘love’ attributed to God. God is no father in Islam. God is no love in Islam. And when we come to these two distinctive names of God in Christianity, of course, when the disciples came to Jesus and they told Him, “Teach us to pray?” What did He say? “When you pray you say, ‘Our father who are in heaven…” But in Islam god, Allah, is no father. Why did Islam deny the fatherhood of God? Because if Islam would confess the fatherhood of God, it demands that they will confess that eternal sonship of Jesus Christ, because there is no eternal fatherhood without eternal sonship. This is why, when you read the Quran, God is no father. If he is a father, and this is one of his attributes, he must have a son. And of course, He is a father for eternity, then the son should be eternal also, or else there will not be any eternal fatherhood. That is one thing that we have to consider in the attributes of God, the difference in the attributes of God between Islam and Christianity.
The second name of the second attribute, God is love. Our love, when we confess it, we would come to the plan of salvation, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believeth in Him, should not perish but have everlasting life.” When we confess that God is love, we must come to the plan of redemption, because there is no other way for God to demonstrate His love but through the sacrifice of His only begotten Son. So there is a big difference between Allah of the Islam, who is no father, and no love, and God of the Christianity, who is the Father, and who is love. There is a difference in the attributes of God. And of course, if I will continue, I would say that Allah of the Islam commanded in the Quran that people will be killed in his name. And the Jihad, which we hear about it is based, totally and completely on verses from the Quran.
In the Bible, God never asked anybody do go and fight for him, to force people to believe in Him. And I repeat, God never asked anyone to go and fight for Him, to force people to believe in Him. Believing is a choice, and we cannot believe against out will. So many attributes are different between Allah in Islam, and God of the Christianity.
Allah the Moon God
The religion of Islam has as its focus of worship a deity by the name of “Allah.” The Muslims claim that Allah is the true god, the one god, and the same god of the Bible. In pre-Islamic Arabia was there another Allah from the pagan gods? The Muslims claim the Islam and “Allah” are part of the flow of divine revelation, the next step in biblical religion. However if Allah was a pre-Islamic pagan deity, then Islam’s core claim is refuted. The facts on the ground, archeology, demonstrates that the god Allah was a pagan deity, the Moon-god who was married to the sun goddess and the stars were his daughters.
Islamic Moon Crescent
Archeologists have uncovered temples to the moon-god throughout the Middle East, from the mountains of Turkey to the River Nile. Some have asserted that the worship of the moon-god was “the most wide-spread religion of the ancient world”. The Sumerians worshipped a moon-god called different names. This eastern moon-god was masculine, and his symbol was the crescent moon. The archeological evidence suggests that moon worship may have been the dominant religion of Sumeria. The Moon-god was known by the name, “Sin”.
In ancient Canna and Syria the Moon-god Sin was represented by the crescent moon. Sacrifices to the Moon-god are described in the Pas Shamra texts. God specifically warns against the worship of the moon (Deut. 4:19). In Tell-el-Obeid, a copper calf was found with a crescent moon on its forehead. In Ur, the Stela of Ur-Nammu has the crescent symbol placed at the top of the register of gods because the Moon-god was the head of the gods.
In the 1950’s a major temple to the Moon-god was excavated at Hazer in Palestine. Two idols of the moon god were found. Each was a stature of a man sitting upon a throne with a crescent moon carved on his chest. The accompanying inscriptions make it clear that these were idols of the Moon-god. What about Arabia? As pointed out by Prof. Coon, “Muslims are notoriously loath to preserve traditions of earlier paganism and like to garble what pre-Islamic history they permit to survive in anachronistic terms.”
“During the nineteenth century, Amaud, Halevy and Glaser went to Southern Arabia and dug up thousands of Sabean, Minaean, and Qatabanian inscriptions which were subsequently translated. In the 1940’s, the archeologists G. Caton Thompson and Carleton S. Coon made some amazing discoveries in Arabia. During the 1950’s, Wendell Phillips, W.F. Albright, Richard Bower and others excavated sites at Qataban, Timna, and Marib (the ancient capital of Sheba). Thousands of inscriptions from walls and rocks in Northern Arabia have also been collected. Reliefs and votive bowls used in worship of the “daughters of Allah” have also been discovered. The three daughters, al-Lat, al-Uzza and Manat are sometimes depicted together with Allah the Moon-god represented by a crescent moon above them. The archeological evidence demonstrates that the dominant religion of Arabia was the cult of the Moon-god.”
Segall said, “South Arabia’s stellar religion has always been dominated by the Moon-god in various variations.” Many scholars have also noticed that the Moon-god’s name “Sin” is a part of such Arabic words as “Sinai,” the “wilderness of Sin,” etc. When the popularity of the Moon-god waned elsewhere, the Arabs remained true to their conviction that the Moon-god was the greatest of all gods. While they worshipped 360 gods at the Kabah in Mecca, the Moon-god was the chief deity. Mecca was in fact built as a shrine for the Moon-god.
This is what made it the most sacred site of Arabian paganism. In 1944, G. Caton Thompson revealed in her book, The Tombs and Moon Temple of Hureidha, that she had uncovered a temple of the Moon-god in southern Arabia. The symbols of the crescent moon and no less than twenty-one inscriptions with the name Sin were found in this temple. An idol which may be the Moon-god himself was also discovered. This was later confirmed by other well-known archeologists.
“The evidence reveals that the temple of the Moon-god was active even in the Christian era. Evidence gathered from both North and South Arabia demonstrate that Moon-god worship was clearly active even in Muhammad’s day and was still the dominant cult. According to numerous inscriptions, while the name of the Moon-god was Sin, his title was al-ilah, i.e. “the deity,” meaning that he was the chief or high god among the gods.As Coon pointed out, “The god Il or Ilah was originally a phase of the Moon God.” The Moon-god was called al-ilah, i.e. the god, which was shortened to Allah in pre-Islamic times. The pagan Arabs even used Allah in the names they gave to their children. For example, both Muhammad’s father and uncle had Allah as part of their names.”
In the days of Muhammad’s life the Arabian pantheon was still worshipped. Prof. Coon has stated, “Similarly, under Mohammed’s tutelage, the relatively anonymous Ilah, became Al-Ilah, The God, or Allah, the Supreme Being.” Why is Allah never defined in the Qur’an? Why did Muhammad assume that the pagan Arabs already knew who Allah was? The reason is that Muhammad was raised in the religion of the Moon-god Allah. While Muhammad’s fellow pagan Arabs believed that Allah, the Moon-god, was the greatest of all gods, Muhammad created an Arab mono-theism. Some believe that Muhammad must have seen the greater prosperity of mono-theistic Jews and Christians, and decided to gather the poly-theists under one tent. Of course he did this by the inspiration of a demon while he was having an epileptic fit. He told his wife about the vision he had, and she told him he had seen demons. But Muhammad convinced himself otherwise and began to spread Islam by the sword. He failed at winning over his home town at first, and went to conquer a neighboring town. After several years he returned to his hometown with an army to usher in his new religion. And thus, Islam has been spread by the sword ever since.
The Muslim creed is not, “God is great” but “Allah is greater”. The Arabic word is used to contrast the greater from the lesser.
“That this is true is seen from the fact that the pagan Arabs never accused Muhammadof preaching a different Allah than the one they already worshipped. This “Allah” was the Moon-godaccording to the archeological evidence. Muhammad thus attempted to have it both ways. To the pagans, he said that he still believed in the Moon-god Allah. To the Jews and the Christians, he said that Allah was their God too. But both the Jews and the Christians knew better and that is why they rejected his god Allah as a false god.”
Many pre-Muhammad rituals have been retained by Islam: The pagan Arabs worshipped the Moon-god Allah by praying toward Mecca several times a day; making a pilgrimage to Mecca; running around the temple of the Moon-god called the Kabah; kissing the black stone; killing an animal in sacrifice to the Moon-god; throwing stones at the devil; fasting for the month which begins and ends with the crescent moon; giving alms to the poor, etc.
“Islam is nothing more than a revival of the ancient Moon-god cult. It has taken the symbols, the rites, the ceremonies, and even the name of its god from the ancient pagan religion of the Moon-god. As such, it is sheer idolatry and must be rejected by all those who follow the Torah and Gospel.“
The Trouble with Ishmael
Isaac & Ishmael
Troublesome relations between siblings is nothing new. We see it in the Bible going back to Cain and Abel, the first siblings. By faith Abel offered a more excellent sacrifice than Cain (Heb11;4). Through Isaac, God established an everlasting covenant, (Gen 17;19), for it is through the family tree of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob that the kings of Israel were established, and ultimately the King of Kings, the Lord Jesus Christ, would come out of that lineage. Isaac had Ishmael as a half-brother. Genesis 16;12 says, he will be a wild man, his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him, and he shall dwell in the (face) of all his brethren. The King James translators said, He shall dwell in the presence of his brethren. The Strong’s Concordance number on that word is #6440. Clearly the meaning is, in your face, as in, against you. So we see some serious sibling problems there.
Finally Jacob and Esau are a sibling pair worth noting. God had made a promise to Jacob, but it seems Jacob didn’t trust God to deliver. He schemed on how he could wrest the inheritance and blessing away from his older brother. God could have simply sent Esau out on a hunting trip that he would have never returned from. But Jacob, with the help of his mother, tricked dear old dad, (who was going blind). Esau’s descendants became the Edomites, from whom Herod the Great came, whose claim to fame is his attempt to have the baby Jesus killed.
It should be no surprise when some suggest or even demonstrate and assert that Yassir Arafat is of the lineage of Esau. Arafat’s great Uncle was the Haj Amin al-Husseini. There used to be a large photograph of Arafat’s Great Uncle with Hitler, in the Holocaust Museum in Israel.
We have heard it said that history repeats itself. Solomon said it best, The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done, is that which shall be done; and there is no new thing under the sun. (Eccles. 1:9)
These cycles are not never-ending. They are leading somewhere. To that inevitable showdown. The end game. I checked the last page of the book (the Bible) …we win.
Anti-Semitism
Question: Is Anti-Semitism a sign of the End Times?
No, not in particular, but yes, in general. Let me explain.
The Bible is a true book about real people, and yet those people and events are types and foreshadows of things to come. We have this concept taught in both the Old testament and the New Testament. In the Old Testament, Solomon wrote; “The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.” (Ecc1:9) In the New Testament, Paul wrote of the priestly order as foreshadowing the fulfillment of priestly offerings and cleanliness in Christ, “Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things…” (Heb 8:5) Finally, Jesus taught a lesson on the road to Emmaus after his resurrection, in which he expounded upon the Old Testament as foreshadowing His ministry, “beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.” (Luke 24:27)
So here we have set forth the notion of types and shadows. If anti-Semitism is expected in the last days we would expect to see it both prophesied and foreshadowed in the types and shadows cast forth in the Bible. Indeed that is what we find…
The Devil has been after God’s chosen people for a long time, with his purpose of destroying God’s redemptive plan for the ages. In the beginning, Adam and Eve had two sons, and the Devil inspired one to kill the other. Later, the Devil inspired such vulgar living in the whole earth, that God wiped it all away with a global flood. As God began to establish a special nation by the heirs of Abraham, the Devil again stepped up to lead Israel into the bondage of sin, idolatry, and slavery. When Israel followed after idols, God would allow the nation to fall into captivity. The people had allowed their hearts to fall into the bondage of sin, then God had them carried away captive in physical bonds. The nations of Egypt, Babylon, and Rome were world empires, each pointing towards the final world empire. The system of this world says you may worship at any altar, as long as it’s not at the altar of the one true living God.
Egypt had many gods. Babylon had many gods. But when Daniel openly worshipped the one true living God of Israel, he was thrown to the lion’s den. Pharaoh, Belshazzar, Caesar, and even Herod exhibited the deadly animosity towards the Jews that is inspired from hell. Herod was appointed to rule over the Jews, he himself being only a half Jew, an Edomite. Herod preferred the Hellenistic Greek style of living over the culture of the Jews. The pharaoh feared the Jews great numbers and thus put them to hard labor. In Babylon the culture and religion of the Jews was suppressed. The Jews were so despised that the evil Haman managed to pass a law to kill all the Jews. Fortunately, God had other plans. We certainly do see anti-Semitism in the types and shadows of the Old Testament figures. What about the directly stated prophesies of the end times? Do we see a forecast for the old evil of anti-Semitism raising its ugly head again? Indeed we do, in both the Old and New Testaments; The Prophet Zechariah, of the Old Testament was inspired by God to write the following words about Jerusalem in the Last Days, “Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.” (Zec 12:2-3)
The prophet goes on to say further in the chapter, “And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem.” (Zec 12:10-11)
Verses 10+11 indicate how Jesus will return, and the House of David will recognize and repent when they see him. The Book of the Acts of the Apostles tells us how after Jesus’ resurrection, he spent 40 days with his disciples teaching them before he ascended to heaven. When he ascended to heaven from the Mount of Olives two angels appeared and said, “Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.” (Acts 1:11) This indicates that Jesus will return to the area of Jerusalem, specifically, the Mount of Olives, where Zechariah said that the House of David would, “look upon (Jesus) whom they have pierced.” In the New Testament we also have a picture of Israel fleeing to the wilderness for three and a half years, (probably Edom-Petra- in Jordan). This is recorded in the Book of Revelation, chapter 12, verse 5. Jesus referred to this event in his Olivet Discourse…
“When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains” (Matt 24: 15-16)
These portions of scripture give a clear indication of the anti-semitism of both history and the last days. Today there is a rising tide of anti-semitism in Europe, Russia, and even on American college campuses. The loud left battle cry is pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel. This in spite of the fact that Israel is the only democracy in the middle east. Things are heating up. It’s time to be looking up.
“When these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.” (Luke 21:28)
Ezekiel 38: The Arab League, and The Pre-Trib Rapture
One could make the case that Ezekiel 38 is the ancient rabbinical version of Armageddon. Authors like Hal Lindsey have made this case. Others, Like Dr. Chuck Missler and author Grant Jeffrey have suggested that Ezekiel 38 happens just prior to or simultaneously with the beginning of the Tribulation Period. When we consult rabbinical commentaries from the pre-Christian era we can find references that connect the invasion of Gog and Magog to the coming of Messiah. One example is the following commentary on Psalm 110, from the Midrash Alpha Betot…
“My firstborn, you sit on my right until I subdue the army of the hosts of Gog and Magog, your enemies, under your footstool.” -Midrash Alpha Betot-
Ezekiel 38 parallels the Battle of Armageddon in the book of Revelation in the way that the enemies of God and Israel assemble to destroy the Jewish nation. What differentiates the two events? Can we see that they are separate events? The clue to placing this event in a timeline lies in Ezekiel 39:9, when Israel is able to burn the enemy’s weapons for seven years.
This seems to indicate two things.
1- Nuclear Weapons are involved and are able to provide seven years’ worth of energy.
2- The invasion of Gog and Magog kicks off the Tribulation Period and foreshadows the final Battle of Armageddon when the European Union and the Kings of the east join in.
The most astounding part of this prophecy is that it was written about 2500 years ago, and describes the present situation so well, with the Arab-Muslim nations all allied against Israel. To begin with, let’s take a look at our text…
And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee. Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them. After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them. Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee. (EZ 38:1-9)
Now the obvious questions are, where are these places, and who are these people? For help we turn to the following sources:
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia (ISBE)
Strong’s – Hebrew Chaldee and Greek English Lexicons (Strong)
Brown, Driver, Briggs, Hebrew Aramaic English Lexicon (BDB)
Illustrated Bible Dictionary by M. G. Easton (Easton)
The World Book Encyclopedia
Let’s begin with the obvious, Persia and Libya. These are two names that still make sense to us today. Libya is in northern Africa, next to Egypt. Persia changed its name to Iran only a few decades ago. However, let’s not stop there. Let’s see what our reference books say. Perhaps something more or less was meant when this was written 2500 years ago.
“Persia; the empire Persia; encompassed the territory from India on the east to Egypt… and included, besides portions of Europe and Africa, the whole of western Asia between the Black Sea, the Caucasus, the Caspian and the Jaxartes on the north, the Arabian desert, the Persian Gulf and the Indian Ocean on the south…” (BDB)
Wow! That’s a lot more than Iran. It includes Iraq and Arabia. Well what about Libya? Let’s see what our reference books say, perhaps something more or less was meant when this was written 2500 years ago. according to the Hebrew the word is ‘Put’, #6316 in Strong’s. This is what the ISBE says about it…
“The common identification of Put is the Egyptian Punt (or Pwent) proposed by Ebers. The assimilation of n to a following consonant is common in the Semitic languages, and would occasion no difficulty if the vocalization be found to agree. The final “t” of Punt, however, seems to be the Egyptian feminine ending, whereas the “T” of Put is radical… Somaliland and Yemen: both sides of the sea (the Red Sea), Yemen would seem to be included. (ISBE)”
Wow! Again, that’s a lot more than Libya. It includes Egypt, Somalia, and Yemen. Now let’s move on to the unfamiliar lands and peoples…
Gomer “They were a barbaric horde of Aryans who in the 7th century BC left their abode in what is now Southern Russia and poured through the Caucasus into Western Asia…” (ISBE)
Togarmah “Probably Armenia… Both Kiepert and Dillmann regard Togarmah as having been Southeastern Armenia, and this is at present the general opinion.” (ISBE)
Mesech “A people on the borders of Colchis and Armenia” (BDB)
Tubal “A region in east Asia Minor, perhaps nearly equal to Cappadocia” (BDB)
Looking at ancient maps we see that is the part of Turkey that touches Lebanon and Syria.
Gog “The name of a district in the wild north-east steppes of Central Asia, north of the Hindu-Kush, now a part of Turkestan” (Easton)
Magog “Josephus identifies the Magogites with the Scythians” (ISBE)
The World Book Encyclopedia “Scythians, pronounced SIHTH ee uhnz, were ancient nomads who lived mainly north of the Black Sea in present-day Ukraine and southwestern Russia. They originated in the plains of what is now southern Kazakhstan. But tribes from China pressured most of the Scythians to move west during the early 600’s B.C. Scythian territory expanded through the years. By the 300’s B.C., these people lived as far west as present-day Hungary and eastern Germany, as far south as Palestine, and as far east as India.
Islamic Occupied World
Now we begin to see the picture. This Biblical prophecy of 2500 years ago speaks of the peoples and lands now occupied by the Islamic world. It is no secret that from present day Libya to Iran, the Islamic world preaches the Koran to its people. The Koran teaches Muslims to ‘lie in wait’ to ambush infidels. It teaches that Jews and Christians, ‘people of the book’ are the infidels. It teaches Muslims to use ‘every stratagem of war’ including the ‘peace of Hudaybiya’ where one may declare a cease fire to reorganize, or even pretend peace in order to stab the infidel in the back. The Hadith (the commentary on the Koran) is even more radical, saying that no land, once under Muslim control, can ever be surrendered to non-Muslims. This is the heart of the issue. In spite of the fact that the Ottoman Empire controlled the Holy Land, it was not important until Jews drained the swamps and cultivated the land in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. Before that the area had been described as a desolate wasteland.
Here I am going to add a little extra. These are 17 points, brought up by my Mennonite Pastor Friend, points that at once differentiate the Battle of Gog & Magog from the Battle of Armageddon, and yet also may allow the anti-christ to say that the battle of Armageddon has already taken place, that he is God, and the prophecies have been fulfilled. Note the subtle similarities and differences between the two events:
The Gog & Magog war will be the invasion of Russia and Arab allies against Israel. This can be misinterpreted by those left behind as Armageddon, particularly since Ezekiel 38 and 39 describe the two wars as one event.
The sun and moon will go dark and the stars will fall before the Day of the Lord (Joel 2:31), which is the beginning of the rapture. This can be misinterpreted as being the end of the tribulation, since many believe the Day of the Lord happens at the end of the tribulation based on a narrow reading of Matt 24:29-31. There might also be an earthquake at the pretribulation rapture, (Revelation 6:12) as an additional delusion and scriptural reason to cause people to think it is the end of the tribulation (Revelation 16:18)
The raptured people who disappeared for good will be said to be “those wicked pre-tribbers” whose doctrine the post tribbers have rejected. This is not much of a stretch given that the media today paints the picture of Bible believing fundamentalists as bigoted, gay hating, intolerant, woman beating, terrorists. This idea of the “rapture of the wicked” is a theology which is supposedly supported by Matt 24:38-41 (one taken the other left), but this is really describing the pretribulation rapture. The word for “taken” is “paralambano”, which is used in John 14:1-3 as “received” as how Christ says he will “receive you unto myself”. One of the definitions for “left” means “abandoned.” Another scripture passage used to support the “rapture of the wicked” is in Revelation 14.
At the same time as the rapture, fire from heaven will destroy the armies from the north as the destruction of Gog & Magog in Ezekiel 39:6 “And I will send a fire on Magog…”, and will be the “sudden destruction of 1 Thess 5:3 that happens at the start of the Day of the Lord, but this can be mistaken as the destruction at Armageddon. As Israel burns the weapons for seven years -Ezekiel 39:9 (the length of the tribulation) after the Gog & Magog war, and the antichrist ushers in his false peace, this can be misinterpreted as a sign of the millennium, making peaceful use out of weapons, “swords to plowshares”.
The antichrist will confirm the post-Trib theological position, and say that Armageddon is over. The antichrist will lie and say he is the one who made the fire come down from heaven at the end of the Gog & Magog war, and he will prove that he has this power by repeating this sign and wonder.
The antichrist will come on the scene making peace (Dan 9:27) and setting up a world government (Daniel 2, the iron and clay feet, & Daniel 7:23), just as Christ is seen to return after Armageddon and establish peace and set up a world government. (Isaiah 9:7, Daniel 6:26, Luke 1:33)
The two witnesses will be seen as those few who reject the reign of Christ in the “new” millennium. The two witnesses have the power to not let it rain. Rev 11:6 “These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy…” This “no rain” can be misunderstood as the divine punishment for not worshiping the antichrist. Zech 14:17 “And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.”
When the two witnesses are killed at the middle of the tribulation, the world will rejoice (Rev 11:8-10), because they will be so inclined to worship the antichrist as god (2 Thess 2:3,4), and the two witnesses will be seen as the rebellious evil ones. How will the antichrist explain their resurrection? Rev 11:11,12. Many theorize this mid-Trib rapture will also involve the 144,000 of as seen in Rev 14. Will this be again explained with the same lie, the “rapture of the wicked” at the end of the Trib, all over again?
Some people say that the antichrist/beast may have a false death, to imitate the death and resurrection of Christ. Zechariah 11:17, Revelation 13:3,14
Rev 11:13, the great earthquake at the middle of the tribulation, as the two witnesses rise, can be misinterpreted as the great earthquake at the end of the tribulation when Christ returns in glory, (Zech 14:4,5 Revelation 16:18). Thus, those who did not yet believe the antichrist was god before will have more scriptural reasons to do so now. Also, the events and plagues of the previous 3.5 years will fit into a 3.5 year tribulation mistake, so that there are even more reasons to believe the antichrist is now god.
The antichrist will impose his “mark of the beast” (Rev 13) but he will call it “the seal of God”. (Rev 7:2,3 & 9:4)
Those who take “the seal of God”, which will really be the “mark of the beast”, will suffer torment (Rev 9:5), but they will not be able to kill themselves. Rev 9:6 “And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.” This can be misinterpreted as those who took the seal of God as having received a kind of immortality, but it just happens to be a painful process, because, in this theology of deceit, we all must suffer as Christ suffered, somewhat like penance. It can also be seen as “the next step of the process of evolution”, or any number of explanations. All who love not the truth will line up to receive the “seal of God” (mark of the beast), the pain and torture, and false immortality.
Those who worship the antichrist, thinking he is god, will gladly follow his orders to search and destroy those left behind who have come to repentance, and not fallen for the delusion. The “war on the saints” Rev 13:7, Dan 7:21,25
The antichrist will need an excuse to persecute the Jews, and he might say that they only claim to be Jews but are not. Even today, anti-Jew propaganda makes use of this tactic, saying that the Jews of today are not really Jews, but are really from a Mongolian tribe from Asia.
The antichrist, the beast, will turn and destroy the harlot woman of Rev 17. This can be misinterpreted as the destruction of Satan and the false prophet, whom Jesus will destroy, as shown in Rev 20:2,10 and 2 Thess 2:8
The antichrist will try and get all of his followers to gather together at Jerusalem, (Rev 16:14,16) just as Jesus says he will gather together all of his saints at Jerusalem. (Isaiah 27:12,13; 2 Thess 2:1)
Question: What is the Jihad war, and does it still apply today in Islam?
You have it, they call it “the Holy Jihad’. What does Holy Jihad mean? The Holy Jihad is to fight the Jews and the Christians, to conquer them, and to make Islam the only religion of the land. And in the Koran, there is a very clear verse, “Fight until Islam will be the dominating religion, not only in Saudi Arabia, or Libya, or Tunisia, but in all region, they are dreaming about an Islamic empire that will cover the whole earth. And that is according to the Koran. So when they speak about peace in the Koran, there is no talk about peace. There is no talk about peace. In fact, they say, “Go fight, go fight, go fight, and especially Jews and Christians.” And in one of my books I said, “But why not Buddhists?” Buddhism is a well-known religion, and it has millions of adherents, why don’t you fight them? At least they don’t believe in a god. You see, he didn’t care, because Buddhism was not there. It was in India, far from him, so he didn’t care. But he cared for the religions around Arabia. And when he went to Egypt, he forced millions of Coptic Christians in Egypt to be Muslims. He conquered Iran, Persia, and he made the Persians Muslims. And he conquered Syria, and he made it an Islamic country. And so on and so forth. It’s all by sword, it’s all by force. They can’t deny that. They cannot deny that.
Islam is not a Peaceful Religion
These are interesting times to live in. Prophetic events are lining up like dominos. When will they be toppled over? Only God knows. But we can see events leading towards that day soon. It is a good time to have a close and personal relationship with the King of the universe, the creator of everything, the Lord of Lords, the lamb of God, Messiah Yeshua, Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior.
Ergun is the oldest son of a Muslim mwazien. The mwazien is similar to a preacher. In 1982 when he was 16 years old, he attended a revival service in Columbus, Ohio, at the invitation of a high school friend and accepted Christ. Ergun started attending church on Monday, accepted Christ on a Thursday — and had his first piece of ham at a Youth Afterglow activity days later.
(Question: What if a person changes his mind and leaves the religion of Islam? What would happen to him according to the Koran?
This man or woman would be called ‘apostate’. And if a man or a woman apostates from Islam, he or she will be given a chance to deny their conversion, say to Christianity. If they deny, that’s OK, finished, case closed. If they insist to embrace Christianity, they will be executed, because they would not accept that a Muslim will be converted to Christianity. And that explains, you see, if you go to Saudi Arabia, and anyone, any Muslim in Saudi Arabia who would be converted to Christianity, he will be beheaded. There is no mercy, he will be beheaded. And that is under our eyes, here, in the 21st century, you know. It is the same in any Islamic country. You cannot be converted to Christianity, if you are a Muslim, unless you are ready to risk your life, and to be executed.)
When Ergun attended the mosque the next day, his youth group of Shiite Muslims “beat the tar out of me,” he says. Ergun’s parents were separated at the time (prior to a divorce), and when his father found out about his salvation, he confronted Ergun. When Ergun refused to repudiate his faith in Christ, his father disowned him — by facing Mecca and praying a prayer of abandonment because it was embarrassing that hisoldest son would accept Christ. Sadly this effectively ended their relationship. Ergun didn’t see his father for 17 years, until three days before his dad’s death in 1999.
Ergun’s Swedish mother met and married a Turkish man . They relocated to the U.S .where the younger brothers were born. Ergun says he was called to preach one year after salvation (he began college at 16), becoming a pastor at age 17 to a small country church in Manchester, Kentucky.
He says it was a mystery to him that God would call him because at the time, Ergun didn’t speak English very well and didn’t fully understand the Scriptures. He felt that he was all alone because neither his mother, nor his grandmother, were Christians. But he gladly accepted the call, and led his brothers to Christ the same week of his salvation.
Islam Is Not A Peaceful Religion
As the son of a mwazein, Ergun had to learn the hadith (the sayings and traditions of Muhammed, the Prophet of Islam) in the Quran. In these teachings, Ergun says the central thesis of Islam does in fact have an essential tenet of militaristic conquest at its heart. The infidel, or unbeliever, must be converted or conquered. If the Muslim dies in such a struggle or declaration of war (jihad), he is promised immediate translation into the highest level of paradise. Therefore, when pressed most Muslims would say that Mohamed Ata is in heaven according to the Quranic teaching.
The Qur’an, supposedly from the mouth of Allah, takes a dim view of the non-believer and a strict view of jihad as a warfare against them. In Surah 2:190, Allah says, “Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you. And slay them wherever you catch them.” Physical warfare is an absolute necessity so that Allah is honored and worshipped. Jihad is one of the highest calls of life for a Muslim. “Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) and those who strive hard and fight in the cause of Allah with their wealth and lives.” Surah 4.95
According to the doctrine of jihad there are three waves of jihad. The first wave is the shock — which was Sept 11.
The second wave is to show a people that they are vulnerable. It has to be public. “Daniel Pearl was killed on videotape,” says Ergun. There is no question that group who killed Pearl is a subgroup of the radical Muslim fundamental group, Mujahdeen.
The third wave is to humiliate your enemy, to “cut the legs out from under them.” “Thank God President Bush responded as he did,” Ergun says. “If he had not, the second wave would have been much, much worse than the first.” The Koran teaches that if your enemy is weak — conquer him. If he is strong — respect him. That means they keep going until they meet with resistance.
When asked if he believes Osama bin Laden is still alive, Ergun says yes. “He is considered to be a martyr in their faith. If he were dead, they would be hailing him.”
Peace With Allah, Not Us
“I must take this opportunity to side with Pat,” says Ergun. “He cannot take these hits (from the media and press) alone.” Ergun says the word “Islam” means “peace with Allah” not “peace with us.” “We are the infidels and therefore the enemy,” says Ergun.
He further explains that when a Christian blows up an abortion clinic, he does that in spite of the teachings of Jesus Christ. “Muslims perform jihad because of the teachings of Muhammed,” declares Ergun. “Make no mistake, they are at war with us and these are not just radical Muslims.“
Osama bin Laden is a Sunni Muslim, not a Shiite, which is considered the more radical of the two. When bin Laden is on television, he is quoting the Quran. “It is difficult to take the Qur’an out of context,” says Ergun. Even to the casual reader, jihad is more than just an intellectual exercise of struggle, but rather an engagement in battle and struggle and warfare with death as a conclusion for the Muslim blessing.
Muhammad echoed this conclusion in Hadith 4.73 “Muhammed said, “Know that paradise is under the shades of the sword.” For the Muslim apologists who redact the terminology to indicate that fighting is perhaps an intellectual debate must read Surah 2:216, “Fighting is prescribed for you, and you dislike it. But it is possible that you dislike a thing which is good for you, and that you love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knows and you know not.” It is impossible to determine that the text means anything but fighting in the traditional sense of combat.
A Muslim is a Muslim by birth, but many are illiterate. Therefore they must take the word of the imam, equivalent to a pastor, as truth. They cannot question the validity of what the imam says.
With reference to the recent Gallup poll, “they hate us,” says Ergun. “And they cannot make the distinction between an American and a Christian because of the way they are brought up culturally. When you say a man is a Turk, it is understood that he is Muslim.”
Ergun believes that the United States did not finish the job in the Gulf War. He believes that we will not end the war on terrorism without including Saddam Hussein, who is the major fundraiser for Islam. “If we do not go after him, this will never end,” he says. “He will continue the jihad.”
Incredible Opportunity
But in the midst of this turmoil, Ergun says this is the most incredible opportunity to witness to Muslims. They are beginning to understand their religion. Many do not want to be part of the violence and are coming to Christ.The difference between reaching them and not reaching them depends on the teaching of grace.
“The single most important thing to do is teach on grace,” he says. To Muslims, the intimacy of God is so new. Teach them that they don’t have to live in fear of the “scales of Allah,” which are seen as actual scales (2 Surah 4). For the Muslims who fear the scales that measure their eternal damnation if weighted heavier for evil than good, this is the only true eternal security they have.
Christians should also know that Allah and God are not the same. “No serious or intellectual Muslim would say that Allah has a Son, that He is a Triune, nor that He is personal,” Ergun says. Allah is Creator and Judge. Christ’s attributes are so totally different. He is loving, kind, gracious, and forgiving.
As a Christian, Ergun is offended when he hears people say that God and Allah are the same. Many think getting to God is like getting to Chicago. You can get there by plane, train or auto. It doesn’t matter what path you take, as long as you get there. Ergun calls this the “Oprahization” of American culture.
On October 19, 2001, Ergun spoke before the UN at the Subcommittee on Cultural Affairs. As an expert on Islam and one who speaks Arabic, he is being invited to participate in even more high-level projects on this area. There are only 20 former Muslims who are now preachers in America; there are only eight (and Ergun is one of them) who are professors of theology.
Question: What are the differences of fighting and killing in Islam?
The fighting and killing in Islam. Well, let me tell you something. It is very interesting, really interesting that in the US we have a different kind of Islam. Muslim clerics in the US want to present to us a kind Islam, Islam of brotherly love, Islam of friendship. Is that the Islam in the Quran? It is not! The Quran is very explicit to tell the Muslims, “Go fight and kill.” And if we see a young man, 20 years, or 18 years in Palestine, and putting a bomb around themselves, and making a suicidal bomb, and kill himself and kill some Israelis, it is not an invention of the Hamas, or the Hezbollah, or anybody. It is the Quran. The Quran says, “Go fight, fight, fight.” So if we want to see fighting, and the killing, in the Quran, let us read the words of the Quran. And I will begin with the words in surat Al Anfal, that is surat 8, and verse 65, “Oh, prophet Mohammed.” Listen, Allah is talking to Mohammed because this is what the Muslims believe. “Oh, prophet Mohammed. Urge the Muslims to fight.” What? “Oh, prophet Mohammed. Urge the Muslims to fight?” When Jesus spoke to His disciples, He said, “Love your enemy. Pray for those who persecute you.” But here, “Oh, prophet Mohammed. Urge the Muslims to fight,” fighting is by inciting Muslims to fight. And then, we go to another surat, and that is in the Quran, in surat (Al Bakara, that is surat number 2, verse 216, “Jihad (this is fighting, holy fighting in Allah’s name) is ordained for you, Muslims.” Now, if someone will come and say that those who are fighting, Jews and Christians are fighting then because they are fanatics, they do not know Islam. No! When I went on the national TV, years ago, and I said in very plain words, “If you are a faithful Muslim, you are obliged to fight Jews and Christians, because Jihad, the holy fighting in Allah’s name is ordained for you, ” you dislike it, and it may be that you dislike a thing which it is good, and that you like a thing which is bad for you. But fighting is ordained for Muslims.
Then we go to another verse, in the very same surat, in verse 244, “And the fight in the way of Allah (that is in surat number 2, verse 244), and know that Allah is all hearer, or knowing.” Fight in the name of Allah? Well, in one of my books I said that, if God is almighty then he should fight for himself. In fact, one time I talked to a Muslim cleric in Egypt, and he said to me, “If I had the power, I would make all Egypt Muslim.” I said, “But what mean?” He said, “By force, by sword. Fight in the name of Allah.” And I looked at him and I said, “Listen, your god is so weak!” “What?” “Listen, let us use our brains for one second, if you will. Who will fight for whom? The weak will fight for the strong, or the strong will fight for the weak?” He said, “Of course that the strong will fight for the weak.” I said, “Then, if God is almighty, He doesn’t need you to fight for him. Leave him to fight for himself. He can do it! But to fight for him, this is an indication that god is weak. Forgive me, but this is my understanding.” But this is what the Quran is saying.
Then we continue, and we will see, in surat (Al Taouba), that is surat number 9, and verse 29, you see, Allah is telling the Muslims to fight the Jews and the Christians in particular. Sometimes when I read the Quran I think, why didn’t he insight the Muslims to fight against Buddhists, Hindus? Why Jews and Christians? Whose wars? Well, we read in surat (Al Anfal), that is surat number 8, verse 63, no, I think I misplaced that. I’ll go back to that surat (Al Taouba), surat number 29, verse 29, “fight against those who believe not in Allah; nor in the last day, nor forbid that which have been forbidden by Allah and his messenger Mohammed; and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth, Islam, among the people of the scripture.” Who are the people of the scriptures? Jews and Christians. “you fight them until they pay the Gizia, the poll tax, the elevated tax, with willing submission and feel themselves subdued.” This is very clear command for Muslims to go and fight Jews and Christians until they defeat them. And if the Christian and the Jew want to keep his religion, he should pay taxes to the Islamic government with his feeling of inferiority. I am a Christian but I am inferior. You, the Muslim, are superior. I am inferior. And you are protecting me, so I pay a poll tax, here is my tax. You buy your religion with taxes?
Well, I commented on that verse in one of my books, and I said, “You can exchange Islam with taxes.” It is very plain. Pay taxes, keep your Jewish religion or Christian religion. You can exchange Islam with taxes, money with Islam. And this is here, kill, kill, kill. See, and in many other verses, the Quran is saying what is the punishment of those who are against Allah and his messenger, Mohammed: to be crucified, to cut their hands and their legs, or to be cast away from the society. What kind of religion is that? Killing, killing, killing. Killing is not an invention of fanatics. Killing is in the Quran, and I want to let, to get anybody who is really honest to himself, and tell him, “Tell me, don’t talk about friendship.” It is very interesting to notice one thing, that in one of the verses of the Quran it says, “Muslims, do not befriend Jews or Christians.” Period. But it came of the invasion of Iraq, of Kuwait. The Muslims forgot all about that. And they came to the Christian country, to the US, and said, “Please, help us.” But the Quran said don’t befriend them, don’t ask for their protection, don’t go to them for help! How come that you are coming now to the US and England, and France, “Help us!” Because when it comes to politics, the Quran is forgotten, especially in the high places. And I want any Muslim to think about it seriously. This is not an attack on Islam, this is to open the minds and the eyes of the people to think. And I want people to think. God gave us brains to use it. And if I am not going to use my brain, I will give an account. If this is light I’d say it is light. If this is darkness, I’d say it is darkness. But to say that darkness is light and light is darkness, gray places, it is not that way. There is killing in the Quran, there is torture in the Quran; there is much pain for the people living under the Islamic society if they are Jews or Christians. They are! They are always looked at as second-class citizens. And they don’t have the right to stand up and raise their head. They are inferior, and we are the superior, and that is it. I don’t think that anybody who reads the Quran could deny what I have said. I mentioned the verse, verse after verse, after verse. But let me tell you, I didn’t mention all the verse. There are a lot of verses that tell, that is telling the Muslim, “Go, torture, kill, go, fight, kill.”
UNDERSTANDING ISLAM IN LIGHT OF THE ATTACK ON THE WORLD TRADE CENTER AND THE PENTAGON
The barbaric, horrific terrorist attacks on Tuesday, September 11, 2001 on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington, DC have caused every American to ask why did it happen? Who did it? And why do they hate us?
The investigation of the CIA and FBI has concluded that the attackers were Muslims. Does that mean that every Muslim is a terrorist? By no means. There are many decent Muslims. But while many news commentators and politicians are proclaiming that Islam is a peace-loving religion others are warning of Islamic Jihad, or Holy War.
These conflicting descriptions of Islam can be explained by examining the three types of Muslims: Secularists, Moderates, and Fundamentalists. The Quran the holy book of Islam, is used by each group to justify their way of thinking.
THREE TYPES OF MUSLIMS
Secularists are Muslims who do not have a knowledge of the contents of the Quran and only know a verse or two to justify enjoying their life such as: “Wealth and children are the adornment of the life of this world” (Surat AI-Kahf 18:46).
Moderates know the Quran but seek to make their faith relevant to modern life. They try to reconcile the contradicting verses in the Quran in such a way that Muslims may tolerate Jews and Christians living among them. They emphasize the verses that came to the Prophet Muhammad when he was weak militarily and in need of the support of Jews and Christians. These verses which are kind to Jews and Christians are:
“So, if you (Muhammad) are in doubt concerning that which We have revealed unto you then ask these who are reading the Book (the Torah and the Injeel [Gospel]) before you. Verily the truth has come to you from thy Lord. So be not of those who doubt?’ (Surat Yunus 10:94).
“Verily, you will find the strongest among men in enmity to the believers (Muslims) the Jews and those who are AI-Mushrikun, and you will find the nearest in love to the believers (Muslims) those who say: ‘We are Christians.’ That is because amongst them are priests and monks, and they are not proud’ (Surat Al-Maidab 5:82).
“Verily, those who believe and those who are Jews and Christians, and Sabians, whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day and does righteous good deeds shall have their reward with their Lord, on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve” (Surat Al-Baqarah 2:62).”
Barnabas Fund in England wrote:
“The Muslim Prophet Muhammad, the founder of Islam, was a complex character whose attitudes and opinions changed and evolved during his lifetime in response to events around him. It is not surprising to find that Islam is a complex faith.”
When needed, Muslim clerics use Quranic verses including those kind to Jews and Christians to paint a glowing picture of Islam as a religion of peace, brotherhood, modesty, morality, self-discipline and family values. But, the true face of Islam is revealed in the Quranic verses calling Muslims to “Jihad,” which means holy war against all non-Muslims. We will quote again from the article by Barnabas Fund.
“It is true that many individual Muslims are peace loving and law-abiding. But, it is not true that peace is the main characteristic of the faith of Islam.”
Fundamentalists are those who want to apply the more extreme verses of the Quran to the letter. These verses came to Muhammad after he was strong militarily and after he realized that the Christians and Jews were not becoming followers of his new religion. Muhammad’s anger in the following Quranic verses, which abrogate the nice verses in the Quran, is the root of violence which saturates and captures the minds of these fundamentalist Muslims:
1) The Prophet Muhammad urges Muslims to fight in the cause of Allah
“0 prophet Muhammad urge the believers (Muslims) to fight” (Surat Al-Anfal 8:65).
“Jihad (holy fighting in Allah’s cause) is ordained for” (Surat A1-Baqarah 2:216).
2) The Quran commands Muslims not to befriend Jews or Christians
“0 ye who believe (Muslims) take not the Jews or the Christians for your friends and protectors. They are but friends and protectors to each other. And he among you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them” (Surat AI-Maidah 5:51).
3) The Quran commands Muslims to fight Jews and Christians
“Fight against those who believe not in Allah, nor in the Last Day, nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (Islam) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued” (Surah At-Taubah 9:29).
Jizyah is a special high tax to be paid only by Jews or Christians who do not want to renounce their religion and convert to Islam.
4) The Quran commands Muslims to fight non-Muslims until they exterminate all other religions and Islam would be the only religion in the world.
“And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and worshipping of others along with Allah) and (all and every kind of) worship is for Allah (alone). But if they cease, let there be no transgression except against As-Zatimun (the polytheists and wrong doers)” (Surat AI-Baqara 2:193).
This verse is mentioned also in Surat AI-Anfal 8:39. Because of the misunderstanding and ignorance of Christianity, Muslims believe that Christians are polytheists, because they believe in a Triune God. Fundamentalists look at Jews and Christians and all non-Muslims as infidels who must be killed because they have no value as human beings and must be exterminated from the face of the earth.
Fundamentalists divide the world into two camps, Dar Al-Harb’ (Camp of war) where Jews and Christians live, and Dar AI-Sallam (Camp of peace) where Muslims live. They believe that Holy war against those who live in the camp of war should continue until they are exterminated.
Fundamentalists dream of a global Islamic empire. They believe that if they destroy America and the western countries, that they will achieve this dream.
5) The Quran declares that Muslims who fight and die in battle are promised forgiveness and a sexual luxurious life in Paradise.
“And if you are killed or die in the Way of Allah, forgiveness and mercy from Allah are far better than all that they amass (of worldly wealth)’ (Surat AI-lmran 3:157).
‘Verily, Allah has purchased of the believers their lives and their properties for (the price) that theirs shall be the Paradise. They fight in Allah’s Cause, so they kill (others) and are killed. It is a promise in truth which is binding on Him” (Surat At-Taubah 9:111).
What can martyrs expect in paradise? The Quran describes life in paradise in the following words:
“Eat and drink with happiness because of what you used to do. They will recline (with ease) on thrones arranged in ranks. And We shall marry them to Hur (fair females) with wide lovely eyes. And We shall provide Them with fruit and meat such as they desire’ (Surat At-Tur 52:17-20,22).
“Water flowing constantly and fruit in plenty whose supply is not cut off and reclining on couches raised high, verily we have created them (women) of special creation and made them virgins of equal age” (Surat AI-Waqiah 56:31-37).
“Gardens and vineyards and young full-breasted virgins of equal age and a full cup of wine” (Surat An-Naba 78:32-34).
Some prominent Muslim clerics call the suicide bombers martyrs because in the Quran, a martyr is guaranteed total forgiveness of his sins and eternal life in paradise where he can drink wine and will be married to a great number of beautiful sensual virgins. While in fact these martyrs are nothing more than murderers.
Nineteen educated Muslims committed suicide and killed thousands of innocent men, women and children in the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and the four planes they flew on that black Tuesday. Those nineteen Muslims did that because of their deep conviction that they will go directly to paradise to enjoy sensual pleasures, and because of their terrible hatred for America; a country populated by a Christian majority.
Muhammad Atta, who flew the first plane into the World Trade Center, was a devout Muslim. He was born in Egypt to a lawyer and was a highly intelligent person who communicated with ease with children, old men, professors and people in government. As a student in Germany he was known to be quiet and very religious. Atta regularly prayed on the floor of his office and founded an Islamic prayer and study group at the University in January 1999.
Atta lived and moved easily in Western society while secretly hating it. He was a man on a mission and on the front of his thesis, presented in October 1999, he wrote the following verse from the Quran: ” My Prayer and my sacrifice and my life and my death belong to Allah, the Lord of the worlds” (Washington Post 09/22/01). The West needs to know that many other Muhammad Attas may quietly be living amongst us.
6) The Quran commands Muslims to terrorize and torture and kill anyone who disobeys Allah and the Prophet Muhammad:
“(Remember) when your Lord revealed to the angels, ‘Verily I am with you, so keep firm those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who have disbelieve, so strike them over the necks and smite over all their fingers and toes. This is because they defied and disobeyed Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad). And whoever defies and disobeys Allah and His Messenger, them verily, Allah is Severe in punishment. This is (the torment), so taste it; and surely, for the disbelievers is the torment of the Fire” (Surat AI-Anfal 8:12-14).
“The recompense of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad) and do mischief in the land is only that they shall be killed or crucified or their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides, or be exiled from the land. That is their disgrace in this world, and a great torment is theirs in the Hereafter’ (Surat AI-Maidah 5:33).
7) The Quran declares that Allah loves those who fight in His cause.
“Verily, Allah loves those who fight in His Cause in rows as if they were solid structures” (Surat As-Saff 61:4).
8) The Quran commands Muslims to convert non-Muslims to Islam by force.
“Kill the Mushrikun (polytheists, Christians and non-Muslims), wherever you find them, and capture them and besiege them, and lie in wait for them in each and every ambush. But if they repent and perform As-salat (public prayer with Muslims) and give Zakat (Islamic alms), then leave their way free. Allah is oft-forgiving, most merciful’ (Surat At-Taubah 9;5).
Mathematician Blase Pascal who lived in 1670 said, “Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.” The heart of man is naturally evil. You can ignite that evil with religious gasoline. The Quran’s verses ignited that evil in the hearts of those terrorists and will ignite evil in many more Muslims’ hearts.
While violence committed by militant Muslims is sanctioned and commanded by the Quran, any atrocities committed by Christians were never sanctioned by the New Testament commandments. For Jesus Christ commanded His apostle Peter,
“Put your sword in its place. For all who take the sword will perish by the swords” (Matthew 26:52).
FREEDOM OF THOUGHT IN ISLAM
Islam is a prison with no way out. Once a person enters that prison, he cannot leave it alive.
“Then what is the matter with you that you are divided into two parties about the apostates? Allah has cast them back (to disbelief) because of what they have earned. Do you want to guide him whom Allah has made to go astray? And he whom Allah has made to go astray, you will never find for him any way (of guidance). They wish that you reject Faith, as they have rejected (Faith), and thus that you all become equal (like one another). So take not Aouliya (protectors or friends) from them, till They emigrate in the Way of Allah (to Muhammad) But if they turn back (from Islam), take (hold of) them and kill them wherever you find them, and take neither Aouliya (protectors or friends) nor helpers from them” (Surat An-Nisa 4:88,89).
This verse means that if a person says the Islamic Shahada (creed): “1 testify that there is no God but Allah. I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah,” he cannot change his mind, If he does change his mind, he will be executed or beheaded as has happened many times in Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, and other Islamic countries.
Islam is a religion of intellectual censorship.
In Islam the democratic right to free thought and individual decision concerning religious matters is totally denied. We have more than one example of that intellectual censorship.
The first is Salman Rushdie. Salman Rushdie was born to a Muslim family in Bombay but has spent much of his life in London, England. He wrote a book entitled The Satanic Verses. Muslims thought this book was an insult to the Prophet Muhammad and Islam so Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini issued an order to assassinate Rushdie and promised $5 million to the one whom would kill him. Khomeini, Iran’s spiritual leader at that time, said in a statement read for him on the radio in 1989: ‘Anyone who died attempting to kill Rushdie,” he promised. “would go straight to paradise.”
The second is Dr. Farag Foda, The great author who was assassinated in Cairo, Egypt in 1993 because he wrote many books exposing the true face of Islam and Islamic society. He was accused of being an apostate Muslim and was shot and killed in front of his son.
The third is Professor Nasr Hamid Abu Zeid, who was accused of being an apostate Muslim because of his books about the Quran. The court in Egypt ruled that he must divorce his ‘wife, Ibtihal Younes. He fled from Egypt and is now living with his wife in Holland.
The fourth is the well-known Egyptian writer Naguib Mahfouz, who became the first Egyptian to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. Muslims stabbed him in front of his house in an attempt to kill him. The man is over 80 years old. They wanted to kill him because they thought that he insulted Muhammad in his novel: ‘The Children of Gabalawi”.
It is of great importance for any American or any secular Muslim to know what kind of society he or she will live in if fundamentalist Muslims rule. The Taliban, Afghanistan’s ruling Islamic movement is an example of this extremist militant faith, which is based on a literal interpretation of the Quran, and it shows in their way of life.
In Afghanistan any woman who will show more than her eyes will be flogged. In Saudi Arabia, a woman is banned from driving a car or from walking down the street without covering all of her body except for her eyes.
Christians who went to Afghanistan to help the poor and the sick with food and medicine were arrested and jailed because they had Bibles and Christian cassette tapes. In Saudi Arabia Christians are banned from holding worship services let alone building a church. In the meantime, Muslims are taking advantage of the American freedom and building hundreds of mosques on American soil.
In Sudan more than one million Christians were killed by the Islamic government in Khartoum. In Algeria, thousands of Muslims were slaughtered by militant Muslims with no regard for life.
Today we are hearing on radio and television many Muslim clerics saying that Islam means peace. But the word Islam means “submission” and a Muslim is one who is in submission to Allah. Their goal as stated in the Quran is to bring the entire world into submission to Allah and the Quran and have a global Islamic empire.
The author has written more than 60 books and hundreds of articles on Islam and Christianity in both Arabic and English. He has produced or been a guest of many radio and television programs. He holds a doctorate in Theology and has pastored Evangelical churches in the Middle East and America.
Question: Why are women so oppressed among the Islam?
I think that when they say, when the Bible says ‘the seed of the woman’ of course, it was mentioning Mary as the mother of Jesus. But the Koran did not mention any name of any woman, because woman has no value in Islam. Period! Who are the wives of Mohammed? You know, you go to the Bible and you read about David, and you will read about the names of every wife of David. You go to Jacob, you know Rachel and Leah. Anyone, in fact, when you go to the book of 1 Kings, and 2 Kings, when the Bible mentions the name of the king, it says, “he was the son of that woman,” and mentions the name of that woman, not the father, the woman, the mother. You see, because women have value in Christianity and Judaism. In Islam no value, that is very plain.
Question: What are the two different standards for divorce and marriage, and kindness to our fellow man in the Koran and the Bible?
In Islam, they believe in polygamy. The man has the right to marry four women at one time. Of course you can divorce the four women, and then again marry another four women. And divorce these four women, and marry another four women, according to his wish and according to his will. Even so, I would like to say clearly that educated Muslim women do not like at all this kind of permission to the Muslim husbands. They do not like it at all! And you read it in the newspaper again, and again. When an educated woman will marry a man, she will never accept that her husband will go and marry another woman except her. Practically, the Koran is against human nature. That’s one thing.
Number two, the Koran permits the husband to beat his wife, and there are lots of beatings of women legally, and I repeat, legally in Islam. And a verse in the Koran says that if you fear rebellion from women, banish them in bed, that means don’t have sex with her as a punishment, and then beat them. In fact, in one of the translations, ‘scourge’ them. You can imagine. So if a Muslim man beats his wife, he would not feel guilty because the Koran permits him to do that. Those are some examples concerning polygamy, marrying more than one wife and the treatment of wife.
Of course, when you come to the Bible, you read the words of apostle Paul, “Men love your wives as Christ loved the church and gave himself for her.” Do you see the difference? Love is a sacrificial gift. In the Koran it says “beat your wife, banish her in bed.” Two different standards. Then, when you come to inheritance in the Koran, the woman, the daughter will inherit half of what the son receives. If you have a son and a daughter, the son will have a full inheritance. The daughter will have only half of what your son will have. And then you go and see that you are forced to obey the husband in such a humiliating way, because there is a verse in the Koran that says, “Your women are till for you, so approach your till any time you want.” What does that mean? It means that the wife is totally under the control of the husband. If he wants sex in the morning, at midnight, at noon, anytime, he just orders her. If she is tired, she is not tired, there is no excuse. You, the wife of the Muslim, are under total control. She has no control on the body of her husband. But if you go to [1 Corinthians chapter 7], you read that the woman doesn’t have authority over her body, but the husband. The husband doesn’t have authority over his body but the wife, so it is equivalent. So the wife should satisfy the husband, the husband should satisfy the wife. In Islam it’s not that way, the man is satisfied, the woman it doesn’t make a difference. So you see the standard.
In divorce, the Muslim man has the right to divorce. The Muslim woman doesn’t have this right, unless she writes in the marriage certificate that she has the right to divorce her husband. That will never happen, but only with the high-ranking people, very rich. Now, when someone will come to marry a very rich girl, they will state in the certificate that she has the right to divorce her husband. If that is the case, then if he will treat her badly, she can divorce him. Otherwise, the majority of women, 99% I would say, they don’t have the right to divorce their husbands, but the husband has the right. And I read yesterday, just yesterday a story about a woman who was engaged to a man, who claimed to be an engineer while he was only a graduate from the preparatory school. And she got married, but they didn’t enter into real marriage. And then, someone came and told her father that this man was not an engineer as he claimed. He only had a very low education. And the girl was a university graduate, and she said, “No, I am not going to marry him. I married him as an engineer.” Four years in court until she got her divorce. It took four years in court, because only he has the right to divorce. After he wrote the marriage certificate, they encountered him, they said, “You are not an engineer.” He said, “No.” “You lied to us.” He said, “Yes.” “Then you have to divorce our daughter. She is not going to marry you.” He said, “No way. I am going to marry her if you want or not.” It took four years in court until they got the permission to divorce him.
So this is Islam, polygamy, divorce, the rights of the man. Beating is the right of the man. The woman is only a sex object. And that’s it. Nobody can deny that because the Koran says all of this. If someone would say, “Oh, no, it’s not that way.” The verses in the Koran, verse after verse, after verse declare what I have said, it is all documented, fully documented.
Question: How did you come to the conclusion that Allah is different from God of the Christians in regards to the commandments?
Well, you see, there is a difference between Allah of Islam and God of Christianity concerning the commandments of Allah and of God. In the Bible, when you go to the book of Matthew to the sermon on the Mount, Jesus was talking to the people, to his disciples, and this is what He said, and I want you to listen carefully. You see, he said here in the book of [Matthew, chapter 5], “Furthermore, it has been said, whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce. But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except sexual immorality, causes her to commit adultery. And whoever marries a woman who is divorced, commits adultery.” Listen, here we have the whole story. The Bible is very clear, whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery. Of course, He is speaking about the woman who was divorced for adultery. He said, “If a woman was divorced because she committed adultery, it’s a sin to marry her.”
But in the case of Mohammed, let us come to Mohammed in the Koran, and in surat Alahzab, and the story is very interesting. He has a slave by the name Zeid Ebin Haricha. This slave was converted to Islam. Mohammed, to reward him, he took him by hand, he went to the marketplace, and he declared to all the officials of Mecca, “This is Zeid, my adoptive son. He is my heir.” Well, this is great. Then he went to one of his relatives, I mean prophet Mohammed; her name was Zeinab Bint Gahsh, Zeinab the daughter of Gahsh. And he said to her, “Zeinab, I want you to marry Zeid.” Zeinab was from a high rank, and she said, “Prophet Mohammed, how could it be? I am from a high rank. Zeid is a slave. Yes, you gave him freedom. Yes, he became a Muslim, but well, he was a slave.
I am from a high rank.” Well, Mohammad came by a revelation which is written in the Koran, and that revelation says, “There is no way for any Muslim, whoever he is, a man or a woman, if Allah and his apostle Mohammed will make a decision that he would have any option, but to obey this decision.” Well, what was the decision? That Zeinab must marry Zeid. Zeinab submitted; she married Zeid. Time went by. Now Mohammed used to go and visit the home of his adoptive son. And one day upon his visit, Zeinab was in her nightgown. He saw her. He lusted after her. He left home saying to himself, “Oh, praise God who changes heart.” Well, when her husband came, she said to him, “You know, the prophet saw me, admired me, and I guess that you have to divorce me.” And the marriage of Zeinab and Zeid was the most miserable marriage even though it was the decision of Allah and his prophet Mohammed, but it was the most miserable marriage. And to make the long story short, Zeid went to Mohammed. Mohammed said to him, “Don’t divorce your wife.” Then a revelation came from Allah to Mohammed, and the revelation said, “When Zeid will divorce Zeinab, I have given Zeinab to you, Mohammed, to marry her.” What? In the sermon of the mount, whoever marries a woman who was divorced commits adultery. Would God contradict himself? No way! The whole thing of the revelation that came to Mohammed was not from Allah, I mean not from the true God, because the true God will never ever contradict himself. If He says that it is forbidden to marry a woman who was divorced, Mohammed or any other person could not marry that person. But Mohammed, to satisfy his desire, and because Zeinab was so beautiful, they divorced her, Mohammed married her, and she used to boast to the other wives of Mohammed saying, “Every one of you have been given to Mohammed to marry by her father. But I have been given to Mohammed by Allah!” What a thing. There is a big difference between the holiness of God, the God of the Christians, and the permissiveness of the Allah of Islam.
Question: How is Allah of Islam different from God of the Christians in the plan of salvation?
When you go to the book of [1Peter], you notice that the plan of salvation was established before the foundation of the earth. And this is very interesting, because God was not taken by surprise when Adam sinned. He knew that He would create Adam. He knew that Adam would sin, and before the foundation of the earth He planned a way of salvation. And that way of salvation was through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. And as Peter said in [1 Peter 1:18], “the precious blood of a lamb without blemish.” You know, this is what happened exactly. The plan of God was to save man through the blood of Jesus Christ. What did Mohammed say? He denied totally and completely the crucifixion of Christ. And in surat AN-NISA, that is surah 4, verse 157, it is said, “they did not crucify him, nor kill him.” Black and white! How could it be? The plan of God is to save mankind through the dead blood of Jesus Christ. And now, after 600 years, someone will come and tell us, “No, no, no. He was not crucified. He was not killed.” If he was not crucified, if he was not killed, then the four gospels are null and void. The story of Christianity is all together false, and that cannot be accepted. The plan of salvation is through the blood of Jesus Christ.
Another thing that Mohammed ignored is that everybody who is born on the planet earth is dead spiritually. You know, in the book of [John], Jesus said that the hour has come and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of man, and they will be alive.” And then, in [Ephesians], “you were dead in trespasses and sin.” Now, the question is that, if I am dead, how could I save myself? The dead man cannot do any good work. Mohammed said that good deeds annul bad deeds in the Koran. How could any dead man do a good deed? If I am dead, the only thing expected of me is stench. You see, people will smell the stench coming from me. If I am dead, I am dead. And if Mohammed had known that fact, that every human being is born dead, there is no way to say that salvation is through good deeds, because dead people cannot do good deeds at all. The only way for the salvation of the dead man is to get life. And who grants us life, but Jesus Christ? He is the life, and we read in [1 John chapter 5], and in many parts of the New Testament, that life is in Jesus Christ. And once we have Jesus Christ in our heart, eternal life will be imparted to us; we are not dead anymore. And then we can do good deeds. But before that good deeds cannot be done because dead people cannot do good deeds. The plan of salvation according to the God of Christianity is totally different from any plan in the Koran. The plan in the Koran has no hope for the Muslims, and this is why the Koran says to the Muslims that every Muslim will enter hell. Why? Because there is no way! The only way to be saved from the wrath of God, from hell, is through the death of Jesus Christ. The wages of sin is death. The wage of sin is not fasting, is not pilgrimage to Mecca or Jerusalem; it is not giving to the poor, it is not any of these things. The wages of sin is death. And Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay that penalty for our sins. And because He is our creator, then His value is more than His creation. He can redeem all mankind. This is why the plan of salvation in the Bible is different than the plan of salvation in the Koran. And I would say again, there is a difference between Allah of the Muslims, and God of the Christians concerning their plan of salvation.
Surat AN-NISA – 4 (WOMEN)
004.157 YUSUFALI: That they said (in boast), “We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah”;- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not:-
PICKTHAL: And because of their saying: We slew the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, Allah’s messenger – they slew him not nor crucified him, but it appeared so unto them; and lo! those who disagree concerning it are in doubt thereof; they have no knowledge thereof save pursuit of a conjecture; they slew him not for certain.
SHAKIR: And their saying: Surely we have killed the Messiah, Isa son of Marium, the messenger of Allah; and they did not kill him nor did they crucify him, but it appeared to them so (like Isa) and most surely those who differ therein are only in a doubt about it; they have no knowledge respecting it, but only follow a conjecture, and they killed him not for sure.
Question: What is the difference between Allah of the Muslims and God of the Christians in their godhead?
First of all I have to say that we cannot know God by our own intellectual powers. In fact when mankind tried to imagine God with their mind, according to [Romans chapter 1], we see that they created deities for themselves. And what kind of deities? They worshipped the sun, they worshipped the cow, the frog, the fly. The human mind was totally blinded by Satan. And because of that, mankind created different deities that are not at all the true God. Now, to know the true God, God must reveal himself to us. How did He reveal himself to us? He revealed himself to us through the Bible. And I want to say here in very clear and plain words, if you don’t know the Bible, the inspiration of the Bible, the truthfulness of the Bible, you are in trouble my dear friends. Because the Bible is the only book, and I repeat, it is the only book that will tell you about the true God. The only book! You have to go and get yourself a Bible, and read it for yourself, and try to discover God, the true God on the pages of the Bible.
Now, what kind of a God do we have? Allah in Islam is an absolute oneness. But God in Christianity is a triune God. Which one is a true God? Well, for God to be self-sufficient, He must be a triune God. Why do I say that? Because in order for God to practice His attributes, He must be a triune God. He is a loving God, a talking God, he is a healing God. Then to practice these attributes He must be a triune God, because before eternity, before time, whom did God love if He was the absolute one? To whom did He talk if He was an absolute one? Whom did He love, if He was an absolute one? Well, He must be, to be self-sufficient, He must be a triune God. Again, to redeem mankind, he must be a triune God. And we being from the book of [Genesis], “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” And the word ‘God’ in [Genesis 1:1] is Elohim, and it is a plural name that signifies plurality in oneness. And when we read the first chapter in Genesis, we see, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, and the spirit of God,” so we have Elohim, the designer of the creation, we have the spirit of God, and then we read, and God said, “Let it be light, and it was light.” Who was it who said, “Let it be light?” When we come to the book of [John chapter 1], “in the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God, everything was made by him.” So the one who said, “Let it be light,” was Jesus Christ the word of God. So we have Elohim in His full deity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We have the Holy Spirit by himself. We have the Son of God, the Creator, who said, “Let it be light, and it was light.” And then, when we come to the very same chapter, we read the words, “let us make man in our own image.” Let us? Who said that? In singular we read, “And God said”. And then in plural, “Let us…” Oneness in plurality. There is no question. If the Bible says that we have to accept it. Why do I say that? Because God is a mystery. He is a mystery in His existence. He is a mystery in His knowledge. He is a mystery in His love. He is a mystery in His wisdom. We cannot comprehend God in our mind, He is not small enough to contain Him in our mind, but He is big enough to demand our worship. And this is in the first chapter in the book of Genesis. And when we come to the [chapter 3 of the book of Genesis], after man failed into sin, God said, “Behold, the man became as one of us.” God in singular? One of us in plural. It is oneness in plurality, plurality in oneness. Very clear. Is it beyond our understanding? Yes, and who can comprehend God? Who are we to comprehend the Creator of heaven and earth? But He revealed Himself to us, in that way that we can see the plurality and the oneness in one God, that means that God the Father, and God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are coequal and coexistent. This we have to understand. For God to be self-sufficient, He must be a triune God. For God to redeem mankind, He must be a triune God. And you can imagine the whole scene there. In eternity past, before the creation of man, the triune God has a council. And we read in the Bible that God counseled and counseling needs more than one person. And what was the counselor? That counsel came to discuss the fall of man. God the Son said, “I am going to redeem man. I created him, I will redeem him.” Listen, when Jesus died on the cross of Calvary, He was the creator of all man, He was the law-giver, who said that the wages of sin is death; He was the judge, and He was the redeemer. And it’s amazing, because He was the redeemer by His own choice. And there is no greater love!
We read about a woman who volunteered to give her kidney to somebody, and we say, “Oh, amazing. That woman was great!” Why? Because she gave one of her kidneys to someone who needed a kidney. If someone gives a part of his liver we write a big article. This man, or that man gave a part of his liver to someone, and we praise those people for their sacrifice. God did not give a kidney, or a part of the liver. God the Son said, “I am going to die for the man I created, to show him my love; to show him the love of the triune God.” And this is why we read, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son.” So God loved, that He gave. And God the Son gave Himself, and then God the Holy Spirit transmitted this love to our heart, to accept, receive, and enjoy. For God to be a triune God is the most important belief. And we are not ashamed. Sometimes, the Muslims would say, “Look, you are pagans.” We are not pagans! No, we are not! We are people who believe in a triune God, and that triune God is self-sufficient; that triune God had a plan to save mankind, and because of that plan, when we come to the book of [Matthew chapter 28], we read that the commission of Jesus Christ to His apostles, “Go and make disciples. Baptize them in the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.” Conclusion: Jesus confessed the triune God. Baptized them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Now, let us come to the Koran. When we come to the Koran, we will notice something very, very interesting. Allah of the Koran swears by his creatures. It’s a known fact that the lesser will swear by the greater, and not vice versa. Now in the Koran Allah swore. Swore by whom? He swore by the moon, he swore by the son, he swore by Mecca, he swore by the Koran, he swore by the fig tree, he swore by the olive tree. What does that mean? Well, I said one time to a Muslim friend, “Listen, suppose there is a court case, and I am a witness. And the judge will say to me, “Stand here, and swear to tell the truth, nothing but the truth.” I said, “Your honor, all right, I swear by the fig tree, by the olive tree, by the son, and the moon, to tell the truth.” What would the judge say? “Are you crazy? What are the fig tree, olive tree, sun and moon? You swear by God!” But in the Koran we read again, and again, and again, that Allah swore by Mecca, swore by the angel, swore by the Koran, swore by the fig tree, and the Muslim would not think that this makes god lesser than his creation. But in the Bible, we have a triune God who swore by Himself, because no one is greater than Him. And when we go again into the Quran, we’ll see that Mohammed associated with, got himself with god in such a way that would make you amazed. And like the story of Zeinab and Zeid, the Quran says that when Allah and his messenger Mohammed made a decision, the Muslim has no choice but to submit to this decision. Who gave Mohammed the right to make decisions with God? How could he put himself in the very same range of God himself? There is no one who can counsel God but God! And this is why we read about the Lord Jesus Christ, that unto us a son is given, and one of His names is Counselor, because you see, He is equal to God, so He can counsel with the Father. But for Mohammed to counsel with Allah, I think this is too much. We have to think twice before we come to a conclusion. I would say again and again, that through the whole Bible we see a triune God. From the book of Genesis, through the book of Revelation we see a triune God. In the [first chapter of the book of Revelations], we have the greeting of the triune God to the seven churches, greeting from God the Father, greeting from the Holy Spirit. [The seven spirits that apply to the Holy Spirit in His first attribute, are mentioned in the book of [Isaiah chapter 11]. And Jesus Christ who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood. We have the Father, we have the Holy Spirit, and we have the Son.
When Paul came to the conclusion of his second epistle to the Corinthians, he said, “Now, the grace of Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit.” Well, we didn’t invent the belief in a triune God, the whole Bible is that way. The whole Bible says that there is a triune God, even when the angel Gabriel came to announce the birth of Jesus Christ, he said to Mary, “Mary, you have found favor with God.” And when she said, “How will I be pregnant? I am not married,” he said, “The Holy Spirit will come.” Then he said, “The one who will be born of you, will be called ‘the Son of God.” You see, the story is clear, here is God, who gave favor with Mary; here is the Holy Spirit who will come upon Mary; here is the Son coming, born of virgin Mary, He will be called the ‘Son of God’. We have the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
And we continue. I think that if we looked through the whole Bible I could take more than an hour or two, to get all the verses together, from the Old Testament, and the New Testament. In the Old Testament, in [chapter 30 of the book of Proverbs], Agor is asking this question, “Who ascended to heaven and descended? What is his name, and what is his son’s name?” You know, this is in the Old Testament, and this is very plain, that there is a Father, and there is a Son. So we are not people who are pagans. We do follow the authenticity of the Bible. We follow the inspired word of God, and because of that, we believe in a triune God. We are not ashamed of that. We declare it in black and white. The Father is called the God in the Bible. The Son is called God in the Bible. The Holy Spirit is called God in the Bible. They are co-existent, and co-equal from eternity, and that is very plain in the Bible.
Question: Is Islam a heavenly religion?
Well, we have to think about religions as a thing that nobody can dismiss. The pagans have their own gods, the Jews believe in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and Christians, of course, believe in the same God. The story is that when God wanted to reveal himself to men, he chose Abraham. And through Abraham he had Isaac; through Isaac he had Jacob; through Jacob he sent the people of Israel to Egypt. He brought them back by Moses, and Judaism started at that time. God gave the Jewish people His law, revealed Himself to them, and His revelation was magnificent, because He appeared to them in a pillar of fire at night, a pillar of cloud in the morning, and from there Judaism began. In that religion He gave them the offerings, He gave them the prophets and prophetesses, and it was a preparation for the final religion that will come, which is Christianity. Because Christianity is based on Judaism. All the offerings in the Old Testament refer to Jesus Christ, the only offerings, the Lamb of God. He was the burned offering, He was the sin offering, He was the peace offering. He completed in Himself and in His death on the cross, all the offerings of the Old Testament. Prophets came, and they gave details about Jesus Christ, His blessed birth, His virgin birth, His crucifixion, His burial, His resurrection, His ascension. Then religion was completed. Judaism is the foundation, Christianity is the building upon this foundation.
Now when we come to Islam, why for? For what reason? How could Islam say that it is a divine religion? There was no former preparation for Islam. God did not reveal any prophecies in the whole Bible concerning Mohammed or concerning Islam. And why Islam at all? If the building is complete, we have the foundation is Judaism, we have the building in Christianity, Jesus was the final revelation of God to mankind. And we read here, in the book of Hebrews, and I want to read it from here, in the book of Hebrews chapter 1, the words here are very clear about Jesus Christ as the final revelation of God to mankind. “God who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the father by the prophets. Had in these last days spoken to us by his Son.” So if God had spoken to us by His Son, why would He send a servant after that? Islam is not a divine religion. No foundation for it, no prophecies about it, it is not a divine religion.
My Online friend Paul Sutliff occasionally sends me a link to his Christian-oriented Counterjihad discussions to his Youtube Channel The Sutliffian Report. Paul’s recent Youtube post (2/10/24) appears to have incorporated Usama Dakdok’s show “Revealing the Truth About Islam” which thankfully critiques Islam rather than promotes it. Usama Dakdok operates a Christian Ministry exposing Islam as contrarian to Christian Faith. His website: Straight Way of Grace Ministry. The website ABOUT PAGE is a brief bio of Dakdok and his wife Vicki. After doing a Duck-Duck-Go search on Usama Dakdok, it became clear to me he must be an awesome Truth-Teller because a majority search citations emerge criticizing him of a hate-preacher against Islam. But if you actually listen to him, Dakdok preaches the Saving Love of Jesus as opposed to the volumes of violent-hate preached in Islamic revered writings (e.g.: Quran, Hadith & Sira) toward non-Muslims.
Paul Sutliff is an imminent Christian-oriented Counterjihad scholar and author. I encourage you to his books. You can search on your own, but Amazon is a good start.
The video is a bit lengthy (2:29:10-hours), but worth watching to understand Islam is evil ESPECIALLY relative to the Christian Message. Usama Dakdok uses a lot of tongue-in-cheek to get his point across. I suspect that will offend the too Woke listeners.

What if the #Quran has stories that mocks both the Quran and the Bible? In Surah 7 we have a mooing bright yellow cow. That means an idol made of gold can now move and make sound. But don’t worry, Islamic scholars cover for Allah.
Did All create people for the purpose of sending them to hell?

As I surf-and-share on various Social Media Platforms, I run into videos that at a glance appear interesting, so I save them (depending on the platform) to my email or the particular Social Media saved folder.
As I have time, I go over those saved videos then upload them to a Social Video Platform as a process of re-sharing. I primarily use my Bitchute Channel, but lately Bitchute has focused on Copyright complaints more than honoring Fair-Use standards. When I sense a Copyright-vs-Fair-Use issue potentially emerging, I upload to my UGETube Channel.
The Substack is the newest of the three and it seems I’ve used the Platforms Blogger and WordPress forever (as in decades). I have not ran into any censorship issues on Substack (at least not yet). My largest readership has been on Blogger. The thing is Blogger is owned by Google and Google is owned by Alphabet Inc.. Blogger’s early days were quite amenable to Free Speech. UNFORTUNATELY, Google over the years has become extremely WOKE and Corporatist in their mindset. As you can guess I frequently am censored for violating WOKE Blogger Community Guidelines particularly in my opinion of the inherent violence propagated in Islamic revered writings leading to Islamic Terrorism and my opinions on the Plandemic. SO FAR Blogger has not censored my opinion on the 2020 Election Coup (but will be unsurprised if future Blogger de-posting occurs).
Recently Blogger DE-POSTED “Tyranny Afoot” (a 2/6/24 post) under the accusation of Hate Speech violations of Community Guidelines. I can only suspect Blogger’s Hate Speech accusation was a video I posted of Brigitte Gabriel sharing the massacre of Jews in Israel by Hamas on October 7, 2023 was symptomatic of the actions of Palestinian Terrorists toward both Jews and Christians in the Middle East ever since those terrorist organizations emerged to “Wipe Israel off the Map”. Gabriel was graphically descriptive in word (not in photos or video footage) of those terrorist atrocities. Since Blogger removed that post, can watch that post on Bitchute, CPCR (WordPress) or John’s Newsletter (Substack).
I have had issues with WordPress, but nothing even close to Blogger censorship. In my Counterjihad posting days WordPress notified me it was blocking my blog (then known as NCCR) from access in Pakistan because of complaints of my opinion of Islam. No outright censorship, just access blocking.
In my early experience with WordPress, I could any video from any video platform. These days WordPress has developed an APPROVED List of video platforms that will embed by simply using the video link rather than an embed code. I recently discovered that Bitchute and Rumble were removed from that list. I complained. I received a bit of a dismissive response notifying me my complaint will be taken under consideration because WordPress will constantly update their APPROVED list. YEAH RIGHT, the current approved list appears to me are platforms with a largely WOKE agenda. AND YET, I pay an annual fee for my WordPress blog so I am allowed to upload videos (so far), it will now take longer to post on WordPress when videos are involved because the upload process can be lengthy. I am certain the WordPress powers-that-be are probably just going boo-hoo for my issue.
WELL! This has turned into a longer intro than I anticipated. SO, I’m still going to share some videos I’ve uploaded to my Bitchute Channel. Just not as my as I intended originally in this post. On another post I’ll continue some video shares.
Since I appear to be dealing with WOKE Issues by my Blogging Hosts, at this point I’ll share three short videos at this time and more LATER:

WARNING! SOME VISUALS MIGHT BE OBJECTIONABLE TO CHILDREN – Even though YOUR Local Public School may show them to YOUR CHILDREN to program their Wokeness! A parody yet accurate short video I found on Truth Social Group Make America Great again by michaelboyle83 on 2/4/24 (https://tinyurl.com/5n6w9yvv). It is tongue-in-cheek humor that should also infuriate Patriotic Americans. WHY? Because it’s happening.
The subject is essentially people-control via fear & genetic manipulation. The speaker’s (I have no idea who he is) is HAARP Technology and Project Montauk is mentioned. I tried and failed to search for the complete video, perhaps if someone knows they can leave a link in the Comment Section.
Under the corrupt government’s current Globalist tactics of controlling the masses, the speaker’s initial stipulations got my attention. But as you listen to the 4:43-minute excerpt there is an element of a Ripley’s Believe It or Not. If you are intrigued, do some checking before believing.
Agents of Innocence only offer this cryptic description: “DNA | AND – AND | DNA”.
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.
—UNDERSTANDING THE LIES picks a Redacted News Rumble video from 1/29/24 and posted it on 2/5/24. It astounds me that fires that began torching Lahaina Hawaii in early August 2023 STILL has government restrictions and mysteries in February 2024.
–Ben Armstrong reporting in a laying position (I don’t recall details, but I believe he’s battling an illness) on the FDA unelected bureaucracy making enforceable rules making it legal for Big Pharma to experiment on WE THE PEOPLE and ending with Glenn Beck speaking about Globalists Panicking about controlling the Masses.

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.

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.
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!

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. [Blog Editor Bold Text Emphasis]
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.
Undoubtedly with Leftist incitement to cause chaos in a Christian-oriented culture; Pro-(Pseudo)-Palestinian protests/riots against Israeli reprisal to Hamas Islamic Terrorist brutal-outrageous murders of Jews (and any Western non-Jew who happened to be in the way) have been under way in the USA, Europe and the one-time Free World.
I’m about to rile all the Antisemites, the Jew-Haters, Those who can’t distinguish between Covenant-breaking Leftist Jews and Covenant-Keeping Chosen-People Jews, the Conservatives I admire yet unwittingly believe there are peaceful Pseudo-Palestinian civilians and anti-Medical Tyranny folks ALSO believing there are peaceful Pseudo-Palestinian civilians. TO THE RILED: YOU ARE SUPPORTING EVIL – SHAME-SHAME ON YOU!
It is true that there are (essentially) Leftist Self-Loathing Jews who are more interested in Leftist ideology and Globalist agendas than the Covenants made between the ALMIGHTY and Abraham (and sealed by Moses). It is true European Ashkenazi Jews who immigrated to their HOMELAND from Ottoman days and British control days were more secular Left-Wing than Covenant-Religious. Zionism began as a Leftist movement. It should fascinate non-Jews that God utilized counter-Covenant movements to facilitate a Jewish Return much like Nebuchadnezzar (HERE, HERE & HERE) was used to punish Covenant-Breaking Jews and Cyrus restored (HERE & HERE) Covenant-Keeping Jews to their Promised Land. NEITHER Nebuchadnezzar nor Cyrus were Jewish but used by the ALMIGHTY. Ergo, even though Zionism – past and present – may have involved Covenant-Breaking Jews, it is my opinion the Jewish Return and restored nationhood reflects the operation of the ALMIGHTY.
I could go on about issues Jew-Haters like to bring up. For Example the idiocy of the proven forgery of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion for World domination and the existence of the Jewish Khazarian Mafia with Globalist intentions. Heads up: Jew-Haters try to associate Khazarian Jews with Ashkenazi European Jews which is unlikely because they were more likely Turkic converts to Judaism. Khazarian FACTS Jew-Haters like to dismiss with Antisemitic narratives – SEE HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE & HERE.
A) There is no such as a historical people of Palestinians. The Arab descendants of those who adopted that name are largely immigrants to the area at about the same time European Jews who immigrated to the historical Homeland PROMISED to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (NOT TO ISHMAEL – SEE HERE & HERE).
Actual Philistines & Fake Palestinians
B) The name Palestine was given to the area by irritated Latin Romans weary of Jewish rebellion after Roman conquest. The name derives from Israel’s traditional enemies of Philistines. I read a Pro-Palestine commenter on THE EXPOSÉ claim the Greeks gave the area the name “Palestine” to the area by historian Herodotus in the 5th Century BCE. The error in the Herodotus assertion to “Palestine” is that the Greek historian was talking about the old Israelite enemies the non-Arab Philistines and NOT the Arab immigrants who adopted the name to steal the land from Jews. SEE THE QUOTE:
“During the Persian period, the area that is now Israel and Syria was referred to as Coele-Syria. A derivative of the name Palestine first appears in Greek literature in the 5th Century BCE when the historian Herodotus used the word “Palaistine” to refer to the coastal strip inhabited by the Philistines.” – Origins of the Name “Palestine” and Palestinian Nationalism; Jewish Virtual Library.
D) Because of Pseudo-Palestinian academic and media indoctrination to hate Jews and Westerners (and by Westerners – especially non-Muslim Americans), those people are willing human shields under the under the idiocy to protect Hamas murderers and their weapon arsenals. MEANING: They are NOT innocent civilians being injured and killed in the Israeli reprisals to eliminate Hamas as a political and paramilitary Islamic terrorist force.
TO BE CLEAR: There was a time I would have been behind any form of military support to be given to Israel. NOT SO MUCH TODAY! The current nation of Israel is as dominated by Globalist Agenda bureaucrats as the U.S. Government is. It’s only opinion, but it’s my opinion: Globalists are striving for a WWIII as part of a population culling agenda. ERGO, I don’t have a problem with sending military hardware to Israel to push the unbiblical Arabs out of the Jewish Homeland, BUT I do have a problem with sending American Taxpayer cash the USA cannot afford and I have a problem with sending American military personnel to a Globalist inspired conflict to engage in a WWIII. I have transformed into something Globalists would not appreciate – A TRADITIONAL/HISTORICAL AMERICAN ISOLATIONIST. Here are some historical Isolationist tidbits, some of which I like and some not so much: HERE & HERE. I guess I’m a cherry-picking Isolationist but definitely an ANTI-Globalist Isolationist.
And to drive points A – D HOME, below are two November 4 cross posts that I am convinced the Leftist-CIA-Globalist Mockingbird Media have not shared or twisted with propaganda if it was shared:
“Hamas Latest Statement Puts The Far Left In A Corner”
“Global Rise Of Antisemitism: A Harbinger Of The Approaching Tribulation”

Amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of Hamas, has issued a call for Palestinian civilians to sacrifice their lives in response to Israel’s recent strikes against Hamas terrorists in Gaza. In a televised speech on Thursday, Haniyeh accused Israel of perpetrating a “new holocaust” against the people of Gaza, urging “free people” and “friendly countries” to exert pressure on Israel to cease the attacks.
“This brutal aggression must stop. This new holocaust must stop,” Haniyeh stated, referring to Israel’s military strikes in retaliation for a recent terrorist attack by Hamas that killed 1,400 Israelis, wounded more than 5,200 others, and took hundreds hostage. [Blog Editor Bold Text Emphasis]
The terrorist attack that took place on October 7th was described as an unprecedented act of violence. Disturbing accounts reported children being beheaded, babies burned alive, and women brutally raped by Hamas terrorists. Despite these horrifying acts, Haniyeh called for even more bloodshed, stating that the blood of innocent Palestinian civilians should ignite the revolutionary spirit within us and propel us forward.
Hamas, a designated terrorist organization by the United States and other countries, has a long history of using civilians as human shields in its attacks against Israel. The group has also been known to twist and distort the truth to further its own agenda.
IN HIS OWN WORDS: Hamas Leader Ismail Haniyeh, from the comfort of his home in Qatar: "We need the blood of women, children, and the elderly of #Gaza… so as to awaken our revolutionary spirit."

🚨 Breaking: Hamas leader Ghazi Hamad says they will repeat October 7-like massacres until Israel is annihilated.
Amidst the ongoing conflict, Hamas has made false allegations of Israel bombing a hospital, exploiting this misinformation to gain sympathy and support on the global stage. However, video evidence provided by the Israeli Defense Forces has revealed Hamas’ utilization of civilian areas to launch rockets and their exploitation of public buildings as operational bases, thereby endangering innocent civilians.
In the midst of these events, Israel asserts that its military actions are imperative to safeguard its citizens against the relentless onslaught of terrorist attacks orchestrated by Hamas. The nation has endured persistent threats and assaults from Hamas for years, necessitating proactive measures to ensure the protection of its people.
The world watches on with growing concern as the conflict between Israel and Hamas shows no There are no signs of slowing down. Israel remains committed to protecting its people from terrorist threats, while Hamas persists in advocating for more violence and bloodshed.
There is an alarming rise of global antisemitism. The global surge of venomous hatred of the Jewish people and the nation of Israel is palpable in our world today.
Just this week, Jewish leaders told US Officials, “We’ve never seen anything like this ever.”
In the United States, there has been a 400% increase in antisemitic incidents just since October 7th. This time last year, in 2022, antisemitic incidents were up 36%, which was the highest on record. In 2023, the number rose again before going dramatically higher in the wake of the Hamas attack and Israel’s response.
“History is flashing warnings to the world,” the article begins by stating.
“Outbursts of antisemitism have often been harbingers of societies in deep trouble and omens that extremism and violence are imminent,” they described. “Recent antisemitism is also a reflection of destructive forces tearing at American and western European societies, where stability and democracy are already under pressure.”
The rise of antisemitism is a warning sign that something bad is coming. In this case, it’s a warning sign that the tribulation may be in the not-too-distant future.
Antisemitism is metastasizing all over the world. Many of you have seen reports regarding college campuses in the United States. On one of the message boards of Cornell University was a statement calling for people to slit the throats of Jews.
In America, 3 out of 10 of the 18-24 age group believe that the US should support Hamas in this conflict rather than Israel. 26% believe that the solution to this problem is for Israel to be destroyed and the land to be given to Hamas and the Palestinians. So we see, especially among younger Americans, a growing wave of antisemitism.
Another place where this is mushrooming is in Turkey. There was a massive antisemitic gathering in the city of Istanbul. Turkey’s President Recep Erdoğan accused Israel of war crimes and vehemently insisted that Hamas is not a terrorist organization. Israel has pulled their diplomats and announced that they are reassessing their relationship with Turkey.
Turkey is one of the main nations mentioned in the Ezekiel 38 coalition that will invade Israel in the end times. Their relationship with Israel has done a 180˚ just since October 7th.
There are also significant protests in Paris and London, with signs such as “Gas the Jews,” “Hitler should have finished the job,” and the most virulent kind of antisemitism you can imagine. We’ve all heard the report about the airport in Dagestan, which is a Muslim area of Russia. People were tearing through the airport when a flight arrived from Tel Aviv, searching for Jews to Lynch.
It’s Irrational, And It’s Demonic
These are chilling echoes of the 1930s and the 1940s. What we should keep in mind, as we see all of this, is that there is much more to antisemitism than meets the eye. What we’re seeing is the unveiling of an ancient satanic conspiracy. Antisemitism has been rightly called “the oldest hatred.” It goes all the way back to the time of God’s calling of Abraham.
Some of you may be wondering what antisemitism means. The main definition I’ve read is “prejudice against or hatred of Jews,” but there’s another definition. A friend of mine named Olivier Melnick, who is a Messianic Jew, defines antisemitism as “the demonic irrational hatred of the Jewish people and Israel, characterized by thoughts, words, and actions.” [Blog Editor’s Bold Text Emphasis]
It’s irrational, and it’s demonic. God chose Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and their descendants to be the forebears of the Messiah. Therefore, Satan wants to destroy them because he hates what God loves.
The problem is our world today is blind to the demonic component of antisemitism. They look at this and think, why does the world hate the Jews so much? They don’t understand that Satan takes irrational things, such as the hatred of the Jewish people and the land of Israel, and makes them appear rational.
Satan tried to wipe out the Jewish people so that the Messiah couldn’t come. Once Jesus was born and began His ministry, Satan incited the Jewish leaders and the Romans to kill Him. Since Jesus’ death and resurrection, Satan has now been trying to wipe out the Jewish people so that God cannot fulfill His purposes and program with them.
Revelation chapters 12-13 tell us that the ultimate antisemite will be the Antichrist. He’s going to persecute the Jewish people in the end times to a degree with which they have never been persecuted before.
The Antichrist will initially act like a friend of Israel and make a peace agreement with them. We can see that on the horizon as the world desires peace in the Middle East, unlike any other time in history. The Antichrist will ultimately betray them and become their greatest persecutor.
What we see today is also a preview of Zechariah 12:2-3, which states, “Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.”
As the world turns against the Jewish people, you and I need to love them, support them, and pray for them.
100-Year Prayer Meeting For The Jewish People
Most of you have heard of Corrie Ten Boom, who hid Jews during World War Two, resulting in her family being taken captive and the death of her sister and father.
The previous generation Ten Boom family started a weekly prayer meeting for the Jewish people in 1844. After a moving worship service in a Dutch Reformed Church, a man named William Ten Boom felt the need to pray for the Jewish people. People would stop by, and they would have a weekly meeting where they would pray Psalm 122:6 for the peace of Jerusalem.
These meetings took place every week for 100 years, until February 28th, 1944. The Ten Booms were gathered together for their weekly prayer meeting for the Jewish people when Nazi soldiers came to the house and took them away for helping local Jews and hiding them in a secret room.
That is the least that you and I can do in the times we find ourselves in is to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, for the Jewish people, for God to bless them, and for God to help them.
What we’re seeing happening right now is unlike anything that we’ve seen since the time of the Holocaust.
Many pieces and players are prophetically moving into place today. You and I should be living on the tip of expectancy for the coming of Jesus Christ. Make sure you are ready.
