Yes I was thinking the same thing. Yes I have read so many times that we are the new Israel in the Bible.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis 12&version=DRA The Abrahamic Covenant Genesis 12: 1-3
It is the subject matter of Romans, chapter 11. Here is a link to St. Thomas Aquinas's commentary on it: https://aquinas.cc/la/en/~Rom.C11
So Israel orders a "complete siege" on Gaza. Who cares about the scores of innocents that must be wiped off the face of the earth. How long before the tide turns the other way? This will end well for none of them, especially Israel.
The psychopathic behaviour of Hamas is also demonic and they could not but know the consequences they will reap for their own people.
I think as Sheen said many decades ago once the yanks dropped the bomb then all lines of good and evil when it comes especially to warfare have been completely distorted
Absolutely - Hamas' war aimed at Israeli civilians cut down going about their daily business. Hamas guilty of war crimes.
I would go earlier to the time when it became acceptable to bomb masses of innocent civilians. Hitler bombing London, the Allied bombings of German cities, particularly at night, with darkness ruling out any chance of detecting industrial targets. The bombings of Hamburg and Dresden were particularly evil. Of course, Hiroshima and Nagasaki were a more efficient and complete destruction of civilians.
I use SNOXX at Schwab. It is their treasury money market and yields over 5% right now. Vanguard has a good one too VUSXX. Again, it is a treasury money market fund. These funds are mostly comprised of US Treasuries and Federal Reserve repurchase agreements (these are treasuries that are sold between the federal reserve banks so they just mean treasuries as well). If you want to own your own treasury bonds though and lock in some nice longer term coupons because you never know when these money market yields will come down, here are the CUSIPS of a few good bonds I have been buying for myself and clients: 91282CFX4 US Treasury due 11/30/24 with a coupon of 4.50% and trading below par at $98.31 91282CGN5 US Treasury due 2/28/25 with a coupon of 4.625% and trading below par at $99 Anything bought below par means when it matures, it will mature at $100 so you get a small gain on the bond too when purchased below par.
The war drums never stop beating do they. So I guess they have run out of steam in Ukraine, so let's start another war where the rich elite get richer while good people suffer. I read today how many US congressmen have been buying defense stocks. They know what is up! I find it very hard to believe that Israel did not know this type of attack coming. As coordinated as it was, it would have been planned for months in advance. And now, as the whole world watches the Middle East again, I can't help but to keep an eye on China and Taiwan. Lord Jesus, have mercy on the pour souls caught up in these conflicts around the world. Oh and @padraig, three large earthquakes occurred this past week: Afghanistan, Mexico City and Nepal.
A former member of Israel's IDF is on record saying there is no way that Israel did not know this was coming. She says "something is very wrong here."
Of course they knew. Shin Bet are not idiots. Even if SHin Bet had gone totally dead and cray The Mossad would have known. It gives them and the West a chance to wipe out Gaza and hit Iran at the same time. Shin Bet is Israel's FBI and totally ruthless. The Mossad are a law unto themselves and are their equivalent of the CIA. Just as they knew in advance that Russia would attack Ukraine and did their best to encourage it.
I think it is true a lot of what we are seeing has to do with the River Euphrates. I think this has to do with the Kingdoms of the East attacking and destroying Jerusalem and the end of the Modern State of Israel.
Agreed. I was just texting this to a friend: I think America was ultimately behind 9/11 as an excuse to turn over much of the Middle East. Like the theory that America’s elite leadership knew about the planned attack on Pearl Harbor and let it happen to galvanize it’s citizens and to justify the US entering the Pacific conflict. Likewise there’s too much fishy about this Hamas attack on Israel. Israel has the best intel in the world. Yet her borders were wide open and there was no substantive response to Hamas for at least six hours after the assault began. This is probably Israel’s Pearl Harbor or 9/11. I think Israel knew Hamas/Iran was planning this attack so they left the doors wide open to justify a monumental response to their own citizens and start a new massive offensive. Iran (Shia) is using Hamas as a proxy to foment war to prevent the budding peace deal between Israel and Saudi Arabia (Sunni). This is Israel’s excuse to finally clean up Gaza and probably do something significant to Iran and its nuclear weapons program.
