    The Arabs, or rather Muslims can only live peacefully with other Abrahamic faiths if they are the overlords, otherwise it's an insult to Islam. I always thought this was purely Islamic, until seeing a documentary on Spain, and how the Churches were built on mosques to show their triumph over Islam.

    From what I know, the only thing Christ triumphed over was death through His Resurrection.

    As I used to say to my son in response to "But Dad .. I thought" my reply "That was your first mistake - thinking again"

    Yes - one word posts - or similar such as "No" "I Don't think so" - with no explanation .. are absurd.

    I think you're mistaken. The inbound rockets are nearing the end of their flight. They don't have propellant burning at that stage (no bright light). The Iron Dome interceptors are the bright lights you see. Those bright lights are their interceptors' engines firing during the boost phase of flight.

    As for the interception rate:

    It's not just Iran, it's Erdogan as well, since his wife is Palestinian. He's a demagogue and knows how to arouse Muslims, and he's doing it in France, as well as towards Israel. He probably feels the Jews were behind Biden's accusations of genocide towards the Armenians.

    Other than that, Israel signed a military agreement with Cyprus and Greece which hinders Turkey's expansionist ambitions towards the mineral rich territorial waters in the Eastern Mediterranean.

    There's a lot going on in that part of the world, and that the American people might not be privy to. Here's a few things:


    Over 1000 rockets were fired at Israel, and according to Israel 850 were intercepted.

    A 13 storey bldg. was flattened in Gaza by the Israelis.

    Tel Aviv is under heavy attack, and Israel says it's the biggest attack in 20 years.

    Israel is mobilizing its Navy to take up combat positions and tanks are being transported for ground operations.

    Half of Israel's population is in bomb shelters.

    I read the report of some entertainers in Tel Aviv. When the sirens went off, they said they couldn't understand why the people were all running. When one of them heard a bomb drop, he didn't pay any attention to it since he really didn't know what was going on.

    They said that everything was very well organized, and that every building had shelters underneath. The shelter in the airport was seven stories below. The video below was taken at the airport.

    Now to be fair, do the Palestinians have shelters, or are the people's lives being jeopardized for its propaganda value?

    Joe Biden’s policies are failing across the board. There is a:

    Once again. It's all theatrics. If Hamas really wanted to hit the airport they would do it. They are capable of launching many more rockets than Iron Dome can possibly intercept.

    Corrupt Israeli government and Hamas are friends. Israel could get rid off Hamas a long time ago. Just cutt off financial aid from the Qatar. Instead the head of Mossad quite openly went to Qatar to convince them continue payments to the terrorists.

    It's not about religion, but instead about the creation of the state of Israel more than 70 years ago.

    This is Biden's war. Trump had Iran cornered and unable to fund Hamas. Trump had started putting together a group of mid east Islamic countries that agreed to make peace with Israel. Biden has undone all of this first by handing millions of dollars to Iran who gave that money to Hamas who bought thousands of rockets to shoot into Israel. Not only that, he has embolden radical Palestinian youth to attack Jews in Jerusalem. This is all on Biden and John Kerry.

    If I was Israel, I'd ignore the U.S. and send Biden's team back to the U.S. Then, I'd shoot every rioter dead in Jerusalem and then carpet bomb the Gaza Strip taking out all rocket launchers. Then, I'd send in the Army and clear out the Gaza Strip and send the Palestians wandering in the desert with Hamas. Enough is enough.

    I don't think the Arabs have ever intended to kill all Jews in the Middle East. Think about 800k Jews getting run out of Arab countries--400,000 or so ended up going to Israel. Make no mistake, of course, the Arabs intended the destroy the state of Israel.
    I taught history and economics.

    A fact of some importance... 70+% of Jews in Israel were born there and an even greater percentage of Palestinians were born inside the current borders of Israel.

    Whether or not you accept the Bible as a historical record, the creation of the state Israel ended any thought of a right of return.

    I feel bad for people who suffer like this every time Ramadan comes around. I know people love their religious celebrations but why is Ramadan always the worst?

    I believe you in that. When peoples lives are bettered, and they have a future they won't be so willing to fight. So over the decades, the EU was giving them money to better their lives and end the fighting - yet their leaders would keep it for themselves, that way they would remain poor and fight to regain Palestine.

    I always felt that Saudi Arabia was giving billions to Arafat for that very reason. Of course I might be wrong. It's just a suspicion of mine..

    Never mind.

    Apparently you misinterpreted my post.

    My "right of return" related post was not about Palestinians.

    When Christians go to their temple they acquire a sense of peace from the Holy Spirit, but not the Muslims. Instead their passions are aroused, which means it is not a religion of peace - but quite the opposite.

    This shouldn't reflect though on all Muslims no more than the opposite should reflect on all Christians. There is definitely though a difference between those who exit the services in a Church and those who exist a Mosque.

    I ONLY say it because people accuse Israel of being mass murderers. If they were truly mass murderers then they would commit mass murder and wipe out every Palestinian. But they DON’T. Israel warns Palestinians when they’re going to strike because they want to minimize casualties. Still difficult when Hamas uses human shields and fires rockets from schools and Mosques. And of course those rockets are NEVER aimed at military targets. They hit wherever they land indiscriminately. THATS TERRORISM!!!

    And you understand Palestinians are governed by TERRORISTS. AND far too many Palestinians follow those terrorists.

    Please educate yourself as to what is happening there because you don’t have a clue.

    If you want to claim I’m far right, then you openly support terrorism by justifying the violence and twisted morality or what Hamas does.

    The wonderful Squad and our wonderful president. Our wonderful press secretary claimed there is extremism on both sides. Hell no there isn’t extremism in defending yourself from rockets blindly fired into neighborhoods while people whoop and cheer for Jihad all around the rocket batteries.

    Jesus said He did NOT come to bring peace, but a sword.

    Jesus said He came to bring fire and wished it were already kindled.

    When it comes to holy zeal... a true Christian should be more like zealot Muslims than modern passive lukewarm compromising pseudo-"Christians."

    As Archbishop Averky [Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia] said in his sermon entitled: Holy Zeal

    ... this should absolutely convince us that we do not dare to remain indifferent or be unconcerned about the manifestations of evil in the world, especially when the matter is one of God's glory, of our Holy Faith and Church. Here we must show ourselves to be completely uncompromising, and we do not dare enter into any sort of cunning compromises or any reconciliation, even purely outward, or into any kind whatever of agreement with evil. To our personal enemies, according to Christ's commandment, we must forgive everything, but with the enemies of God we cannot have peace! Friendship with the enemies of God makes us ourselves the enemies of God...

    I know what you mean. When a church is bombed you don't get those secondaries going off like when a mosque is bombed.

    You claimed Israel created and controlled Hamas, not that they used them.
