Molech is Hungry

More violence was unleashed at the Gaza Strip border this past week, all of it fomented by the evil Palestinian Authority/PLO. It is astonishing how little they care about human life. Except their own.

About 15,000 protestors showed up at the security fence, throwing hand grenades and IEDs at Israeli soldiers. Four approached the fence in an attempt to get through, and were shot and killed.

Does anyone care about the four killed? They were human beings, living and dying in a squalid area of the world. A bleak life, under the heel of the PLO, compelled them to shove themselves into the Hamas meat grinder, which is never full.

These are the so-called “return marches,” in which the Palestinians are still demanding the “right of return,” claiming that millions of descendants of refugees from the 1948 and 1967 wars are entitled. From a report by the Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center, we can see how pathetic this has all become:

“The riots and the violence of the “return marches” are becoming formally institutionalized and organized. The organizers reported that in addition to the incendiary balloon-launching group, the tire-burning group and the so-called “night harassment group,” two other groups would be established: the “bow and arrow group,” which would shoot burning arrows at IDF soldiers; and the “smokescreen-production group,” which would make it difficult for the IDF to operate against the demonstrators.”

Both Israel’s prime minister and defense minister have issued the usual condemnations and pledges of reprisals. Everyone knows the drill.

Further to the report:

“An exceptional event occurred near the al-Bureij refugee camp in the southern Gaza Strip when rioters placed an IED on the security fence. It detonated and set fire to the fence, creating a large gap. About 20 Gazans tried to enter Israeli territory through the gap in the fence. Most of them returned to the Gaza Strip because of IDF fire. Some tried to approach an IDF post. An IDF force shot and killed them. Others took their bodies and returned with them to the Gaza Strip. The ministry of health reported that four Gazans had been killed (Facebook page of Ashraf al-Qidra, October 12, 2018). At least three of those killed were apparently operatives of Hamas military wing, since their bodies were wrapped in Hamas military wing flags for burial and senior Hamas figures attended their funerals (Palinfo Twitter account, October 13, 2018). The IDF spokesperson said killing them prevented an attack on Israeli civilians and security forces, adding that no Israeli casualties

had been reported (IDF spokesperson, October 12, 2018).”

This is madness.

The ancient demons are still hungry for souls.

I grieve for those lost Palestinian lives. Those people who will never know a peaceful day. In my personal situation, I live in a rural area, on a farm. Every evening I sit outside with my dog and look at the view. I can listen to music or read. Whatever I want.

Can you imagine living in the hellhole of Gaza? I cannot.

Please, wherever you are this week (and beyond!), pray that harmony and peaceful hearts and minds come to the Palestinian people.

I love history, and as a Christian, I think about how Jesus has been, is, and will always be waiting for all to come to Him. Whether it’s Sumerians, Chinese, the Inca, modern people…each soul is precious to God. Let’s pray that God will break the evil that grips Gaza. That people will stop murdering each other. That each person can have a place where he or she can go and be peaceful, even for a short time.

Father God, please bless and heal the people of Gaza. Turn them from the evil that controls them and hates them. Please, Father, send your Son to them. Amen.

One State

The latest murder of Israelis by Palestinians is much more than the final straw. It should have been a final straw the first time it happened, especially after the charade of Oslo.

Daniel Greenfield has written a fine piece on the subject at Frontpage, addressing mostly a Jewish audience.

My goal is to address the same subject among Christian supporters of Israel.

Kim Levengrond Yehezkel, and Ziv Hajbi were tied up by a Palestinian terrorist, then shot at close range this week. The killer, Ashraf Walid Suleiman, remains at large after the murders in the Barkan Industrial Zone.

According to a report from Arutz Sheva:

“MDA medics David Baruchi and Neria Ketua described the scene. ‘When we arrived, there was chaos at the scene. People shouted that there were wounded persons inside, they led us in to one of the rooms, we saw a man and woman of about 30 lying unconscious without pulse and not breathing. We undertook medical checks, they had no vital signs and we were forced to confirm their deaths.’”

“We searched the scene and found another 54 year old woman under one of the tables. She was fully responsive with a gunshot wound to her upper body. With the help of MDA EMT Hadas Wilps, we extricated her and provided lifesaving medical treatment including hemorrhage control, medications, and we evacuated her to Belinson with severe yet stable injuries. During the evacuation, she was interacting with us, and was able to recount the incident. She also requested that we notify her family, which we did.”

The area where the two were murdered has been considered a place where Arabs and Israelis can coexist.

Guess not.

As Greenfield writes:

“The two state solution isn’t peace. The PLO and Hamas have never been at peace with Israel. It’s two Rabbis murdered in January and February. It’s a receptionist wondering until the last moment whether she will make it home to her baby. It’s Hava Roizen, a Russian immigrant from the Soviet Union, who worked as a photographer, hit by a car. And it’s the terror victims of tomorrow.  And the day after.”

The two-state solution isn’t peace.

I’m honestly shocked at those pro Israel Christian leaders who support a two-state solution.

 

To what purpose?

Any “state of Palestine” would be used for further bases of operation by Hamas and the PLO, the latter still led by strongman Mahmoud Abbas, a butcher and fiend who shouts that his terror organization will continue to pay killers—even at the expense of the needs of law-abiding people.

This is madness.

Any leader not vehemently condemning these murders is no friend of Israel or Jews anywhere. The murder of Jews anywhere, for any reason, is completely unacceptable.

There is a real desire on the part of “the Right” to be overly polite and agreeable. I don’t hear much anger from pro Israel Christian leaders about these murders. It’s sickening.

In 2002, I went to the scene of a bus bombing in Jerusalem. Bodies were hanging out of windows; the whole bus was torched.

Last year, I visited Sheba Medical Center in Tel Aviv and saw firsthand the carnage caused by these Palestinian demons whose sole purpose in life is to inflict pain.

May they be removed from the earth.

This morning on Facebook, an anti-Christian Zionist Christian bemoaned the incarceration of “boycott” activists in Israel. I’ve wondered for years why these useful idiots are even allowed into the country.

Have you noticed that critics of Israel take issue with the inconvenience to anarchists and Jew-haters? And they clamp their mouths shut when Jews are murdered?

This is fiendish and unacceptable.

I will never support a two-state solution.

A young mother was tied up then shot? I hope she is avenged.

Pro Israel friends who do not place Jewish life above Palestinian life are not friends, for me. I will go my own way.

We are seeing similar problems in this country. Decades of appeasing evil and being deferential have gotten us to a place where senators are hounded from restaurants, and Democrats call for assassinations.

If civil war is forced, then civil war it will be.

For the record, I support only the state of Israel in the Middle East. There are vast territories uninhabited that the Palestinian Arabs can go live in. Let them stew in their fetid villages and desert holes.

If you finish this column and aren’t thinking of the kids of Kim Levengrond Yehezkel and Ziv Hajbi first, you’re doing it wrong.
