Israel

Israel in the realm of the undead

eejoseph, , , , , , , , ,

Terrorism has been the blasphemous and legal rationale for government success in most of modern history.  Vigilante self-defense anywhere is not much different from annihilation attempts anywhere.  Observers in the 21st century may be unaware that the land claimed by Israelis and Palestinians was once the site of ancient Israelite genocide. The rule of law has not stabilized the progress of humanity despite millennia of opportunity. Courts of justice and the sacred halls of governance are too often the insidious agents of terror, sickness, and injustice. Those who pin their hopes of peace and success on conducting wars are most miserable and bankrupt.

January 16, 2025 is a day of ultimate evil.  After almlost two years of Israel’s slaughter, massacre and assassination of Palestinians the announcement of a deal is the epitome of absolute treachery and inhumanity.  No-one should think that Israel has done anything beside tickled the hate, anger and patriotism of a sector of Israeli society. The people who are not idealogically connected to the State of Israel want Jerusalem to be a cosmppolitan city, and they stand in the best prophetic tradition. Shedding innocent blood anywhere is a cause for the divine sword to exact its due. The cycle of making widosw and orphans continues with the gravitas of the gullible.

You shall not mistreat any widow or fatherless child. Exodus 22:22, If you do mistreat them, and they cry out to me, I will surely hear their cry, Exodus 22:23, and my wrath will burn, and I will kill you with the sword, and your wives shall become widows and your children fatherless. Exodus 22:24,

What has been agreed

  • Cease fire, while Israel reserves the right to have its Air force strike anywhere at any time
  • Hostage deal, which is usually an opportunity for Israel to release hundreds of not thousands of Palestinians in Israeli detention
  • No two-state solution. What?

Who are the parties at the table in the January 2025 Israel-Hamas deal?

We can recognize terrorist scoundrels in government and elsewhere by what they do, and Israel’s lengthy catastrophic assault on Gaza was not a war.  Hamas virtually disappeared after the October massacre of Israeli citizens.  When Israel embarked on its war to erase Hamas, the legitimate goverment of Gaza, it could not, with a straight face, tell the world that it would not target and erase Palestinians who are innocent of violence against Israel. It could not, and it did not. What the world has seen is the razing of Gaza and the inflicting of a catastrophic medical disaster on Gazans.

  • If Hamas is decimated, decapitated, and its offensive capacity reduced, who is at the table?
  • What is the power behind the parties as they each ink a deal?

Who then is at the table? Dead Hamas operatives? Hamas allies? Wiping Hamas from the map is as evil a goal as Hamas’ attempts to wipe Israelis from the map. Did any goverment. beside South Africa, ever say that Israel is a terrorist and racist nation? Does anyone have to wonder what God’s take is, when the ancient Jewish people lived side by side for millennia with ancient Canaanites who, according to the edict for Israelite possession of Canaan, were the targets of a genocidal campaign? Israelis and their sworn enemies (like Hamas, the Iranians, and the Yemenis) are heading up the creek without paddles.

Are those people negotiating for Hamas perfectly neutral entities? Now, tell the world, which commentators and observers did not anticipate Israel reporting that Hamas is violating the deal?  Which Israeli voter did not know that one of the micro-parties in the coalition that underpins the Netanyahu regime would exploit the agreement because Hamas survives another genocidal assault in the Holy Land? “Once and for all”, and “never again” are expressions of another reality, not banners of a just and peaceful society.  An ear tingling era is dawning, and it is not a divine response to violence.  We know what that looks like. The brazen lies, thefts and destruction that have defined the devil’s career and character are rolling into high gear in the public eye with narration from the so-called legacy media.

All the heroes of Israel’s past are tapping her gently on the shoulder saying “Wake up”. Judging from the vehemence of settler policy, and the international complicity, the sleep seems to be turning to stupor. Governments like Canada and the US can try to stifle the voices of protest and opposition to Israel’s oppression. paranoia and pride, but Ezekiel’s prediction of the valley of dead bones seems more distant. This exactly why people should not be sucked into unbelief. Just when we say “impossible” God jumps in. Just when we say “peace and safety” calamity kisses us. For now, Israel, its allies and its enemies are in the zone of the undead, thriving on the flesh and blood of others.

Did Premier Ford ever say “disgusting” about the plight of Canada’s first Nations?

eejoseph, , , ,

If he has, why do culture wars, all kinds of discrimination and murders still happen in Ontario?  I wonder why he is disgusted by the centuries old hostilities in the Levant and has nothing to say about Canada’s neighbour to the south dumping all over Canadian sovereignty.  It is no wonder that Ford has nothing to say about 75 years of oppression of the Palestinian people. 

Did Ford and any Conservative political activist ever say Canada’s entire history is disgusting?  Why do they hesitate to condemn revenge killing and do they have the courage to begin supporting people and not just the ones they feel obligated to?  Are Ford and Canadian sages committed to supporting apartheid Israel against the ruling of the International Criminal Court? I think they are.  Palestinians, Ford should know,  are Christian, Muslim and atheists just like Canadians.  What’s next?  Palestinians are terrorists?

Think you know the Holy Land?

“Woe to the inhabitants of the seacoast, The nation of the Cherethites! The word of the Lord is against you, O Canaan, land of the Philistines; snd I will destroy you so that there will be no inhabitant.”

Zephaniah 2:5

No such thing as Palestine

The state of Israel has proceeded on its Zionist mission and vision with the idea that Jewish people need a land for Jews exclusively, in complete violation of the idea of Zion (for Zion’s cosmopolitan character see Psalm 87). Furthermore the idea of Abraham’s family being extended to all the families of the Earth for a blessing by the one called the seed does not end with Jewish control of the holy places and sovereign control of Judea and Israel.  The settler passion is completely off the rails because all the promises of the land to Abraham’s to descendants are for a particular purpose, and the Jewish people are renter-farmers.  There is no such thing as permanent ownership of the land. The land belongs to God and the Jewish people know it; they are holding it for the rest of people of the world to come and celebrate the unity of all nations in the one true God the Creator and Redeemer of the world.  There is no land called israel, but there’s a land called Canaan and Peleshet (Philistia, Palestina, Palestine).  ISRAEL is the name of a man, the name of a kingdom and the name of a people.

No such people as Palestinians

Racism and xenophobia cannot get much worse than modern Jewish people completely ignoring the fact that the historic claims of Jewish people on Palestine has to do with them replacing seven Canaanite Nations, of whom the Philistines were their most persistent enemy.  Are Jewish children being taught at the Palestinians are Philistines?  Palestinians are not the Philistines.  The Palestinians are Arab people (descendants of Abraham) who adhere to Christianity and Islam, and I have not heard of any Palestinian subscribing to the religion of the Jewish people, that is, Judaism. 

No such thing as Jewish land

One of the pillars of Jewish hope and identity is their residence in Canaan. The promises of land to Abraham and his descendants loom large, but sadly the promise of land does not a title deed. The Jewish people are tenants who residence in the land was not guarenteed as permanent. Residence in the Holy Land is contingent on the people’s faithfulness to God. God’s disruption of both the kimgdom of Israel and the kingdom of Israel and the dispersal of the people are not secrets.

Hear another parable. There was a master of a house who planted a vineyard and put a fence around it and dug a winepress in it and built a tower and leased it to tenants, and went into another country.

Matt 21:33

This parable lands Yeshua in considerable “When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he was speaking about them. (Matt 21:45) And although they were seeking to arrest him, they feared the crowds, because they held him to be a prophet (Matt 21:46). The crimes that caused the emptying of the land continued from the 6th century BC on into the current era. One of the hardest truths for a Zionist Jew to accept is that the master who planted and leased the vineyard “will let out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him the fruits in their seasons.” (Matt 21:41) Jewish migration to the State of Israel will not forever shape the destiny of Jerusalem or Palestine. All the passionate and loose talk about Zion and Jewish homeland shows how little diligence has been put into pride of history.

Egypt negotiates ceasefire

Why didn’t France, Germany, the UK or one of the Gulf states. Why didn’t the PRC have a role? We should not underestimate the tribal layers that matter in the Middle East. Just as Israelis may say “Palestinians and terrorists do not understand or respect our Jewishness” anyone in the Levant may say that westerners do not get his culture or social priorities. This means that the influence of western powers – after the UK and the US have wasted their function as honest broker – will depend upon more forceful efforts to resolve the Palestinian Problem.
