PART 6: GAZA V. ISRAEL: UPDATE GAZA/ISRAEL AND MORE
UPDATE GAZA/ISRAEL
Watch the above video all the way to the end, because the beginning sets up the end and the end is real, no-nonsense journalism.
The June 19, 2008 six-month ceasefire, brokered by Egypt upon terms delivered to them by Jimmy Carter, called for Hamas to stop firing rockets, which it did, and for Israel to relax the blockade, which it didn't, and stop incursions into Gaza, which it didn't.
On November 4, 2008, Israel attacked Hamas reportedly via airstrikes and tanks claiming that Israel was shutting down a tunnel that was planned for kidnapping. 6 or 7 Palestinians were killed. However, Condoleezza Rice specifically said that it was Hamas that broke the ceasefire. Of course, Rice has been a nonstop, pathological liar, so what does anyone expect from her foul, torture-authorizing mouth? It was Israel blatantly and deliberately breaking the ceasefire even after Israel had failed all along to live up to its side of the deal.
As I wrote previously, Hamas offered a two-state solution that was ignored by George W. Bush and Israel. Ismail Haniyeh expressly offered that on November 8, 2008. A two-state solution necessitates the acknowledgement of Israel as a state.

Now, this information is so devastating to the Zionist land-grabbing project that it is censored from the major media. Former President Jimmy Carter wrote in the Washington Post that Israel broke the ceasefire; yet, when one does a Google search, it doesn't turn up on any of the major other newspaper sites.
President Carter wrote:
Hamas leaders also agreed to accept any peace agreement that might be negotiated between the Israelis and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, who also heads the PLO, provided it was approved by a majority vote of Palestinians in a referendum or by an elected unity government.
President Carter says that after the ceasefire went into effect, Israel lifted the blockade by only 20%. He also clarifies that the tunnel was completely within Gaza.
In addition now, the U.N. is going to be forced to pull out because Israel is once again targeting the U.N. The U.N. states that it's deliberate, since the U.N. vehicles and facilities are clearly marked. U.N. personnel have been killed by the Israelis.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Senate passed a reported unanimous resolution in support of Israel attacking Gaza. Why is that? Well, in a word, money: Dollars, U.S. tax dollars, for weapons. U.S. taxpayers, even during this severe recession, shell out billions of dollars to Israel in the form of free military grants so that Israel will have weapons made by U.S. companies ($19 billion during the Bush-43 administration). It's a complete drain on the U.S. in every respect. Absolutely nothing good comes from it. Yet, we have people come to this site saying in the name of God to let the Israelis do what they have to do. It's pure insanity. (Source: "U.S. Weaponry Facilitates Killings in Gaza," by Thalif Deen. IPS-Inter Press Service. Jan 8, 2009.)
Let me state clearly here, to Hell with the U.S. Senate resolution supporting the Israelis in their war crimes. Damn that resolution all to Hell. It's an evil document, and the decision of people to support it is an evil decision. The people who supported it are sick. They are mentally ill and spiritually dead. They deliberately, knowingly ignored the facts. Where are the peacemakers?
The closest thing to truth I hear coming out from Washington is that of Dennis Kucinich, who said:
Wake up America. We have trillions for a war machine and the banks while our government stands by and sniffs at the slaughter of innocents in Gaza, where Israel is blocking aid for wounded Palestinians. Here’s today’s Washington Post. It says, ‘The International Committee of the Red Cross said Thursday that it found at least 15 bodies and several children emaciated but alive in a row of shattered houses in the Gaza Strip and accused the Israeli military of preventing ambulances from reaching the site for 4 days. 12 corpses lying on mattresses in one home, along with 4 young children lying next to their dead mothers.’ That’s a quote. Today, US tax dollars, US jets, and US helicopters provided to Israel are enabling the slaughter in Gaza. The administration enables Israel to press forward with the attack against defenseless civilians, blocks efforts at promoting a cease-fire at the UN, and refuses to make Israel compliant with conditions that arms shipments will not be used for aggression. Israel is going to receive $30 billion in a ten year period for military assistance, without having to abide by any humanitarian principles, international laws, or standards of basic human decency. Wake up America.
Dennis doesn't understand that the system is fatally flawed and doomed. He doesn't understand that the Christian Commons is the only way forward. The U.S. government is utterly corrupt. The Israeli government is utterly corrupt. All the governments of the nation-states of the world are based upon antichrist principles and doctrines. How will any of them escape damnation?
According to Naomi Klein, writing in The Nation, "Ronnie Kasrils, a prominent South African politician, said that the architecture of segregation that he saw in the West Bank and Gaza was "infinitely worse than apartheid." ("Want to End the Violence in Gaza? Boycott Israel," by Naomi Klein. The Nation. January 9, 2009. Republished on AlterNet.)
Then there are the myopic European leaders, such as "Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany, the Union's largest country, has stated that Hamas 'clearly and exclusively" bore responsibility for the fighting because it had fired Qassam rockets on Israel." That's according to "MIDEAST: Claiming Impartiality, Europe Leans Towards Israel," by David Cronin. Inter Press Service. January 7, 2009. Did she check into it before just repeating the Zionist lies?
"President Sarkozy of France told the Lebanese press that Hamas 'bears major responsibility for the suffering of the Palestinians in Gaza, because it decided to break the truce and begin launching rockets again into Israel.'" That's according to "Israel's propaganda mainstay, Sderot, is a lie (like everything else)," by Stuart Littlewood. Redress Information & Analysis. January 7, 2009.
So, while I love them all, as Jesus loved them all even as they spiked my Lord to the cross to murder him in a torturous manner for speaking and doing truth, I also loathe them, as Jesus loathed the serpents.
Here we have some loathsome preaching from a highly place Jewish/Israeli Rabbi. Former Sephardi chief Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu wrote in a letter to Prime Minister Olmert that was distributed to synagogues nationwide in Israel that the Shechem massacre (Genesis 34) and Maimonides' commentary (Laws of Kings 9, 14) are proof texts that, "If they don't stop after we kill 100, then we must kill a thousand, and if they do not stop after 1,000 then we must kill 10,000. If they still don't stop we must kill 100,000, even a million. Whatever it takes to make them stop."
Now, that's coming from a religious leader. It's coming from someone who knows full well that it was Israel that broke the ceasefire. This so-called rabbi (teacher) is an Old Testament abomination. He said, "I will pursue my enemies and apprehend them and I will not desist until I have eradicated them." Now you know why Jesus Christ is needed so much in this evil, evil world. This rabbi's words are dark. They come right out from Satan. Covet the land. Kill for the land. Rationalize away your sin. It won't work. You know, and your sin remains. He said, "This is a message to all leaders of the Jewish people not to be compassionate with those who shoot at civilians in their houses." Israel started it. This rabbi will receive his standard. He better turn and repent. (Source: "Eliyahu advocates carpet bombing Gaza," by Matthew Wagner. The Jerusalem Post. May 31, 2007.)
You'll notice the date of May 31, 2007. Now that may appear to you to make that irrelevant; however, Operation Cast Lead is the current military operation against Hamas, and it was planned at least six months before it began. So, the 6-month ceasefire deal while Israel allowed in only 20% of the normal needs of the Gazans was just a ploy to weaken them while Israel readied to attack them as planned. Understand?
You're also, according to the rabbi, supposed to focus your thoughts with sympathy and compassion upon the people in the area where the rockets fall. The Jews call it Sderot, but its real name is Najd. It's a Palestinian village of 600 or more who were run off by terrorist Zionists before 1948. So, the people firing the rockets are firing them at land thieves. The fact that the Jews there are land thieves doesn't make it right for the victims of the theft to fire rockets at them, at least in the eyes of a Christian. However, what right do the land thieves have to complain? Under international law, the Palestinians are in a state of war in which they have a right to fire rockets at the enemy at least as much as Israel ever had any right to shower Lebanon with cluster bombs, which is none at all in my good book.
You'll also hear over and over about Hamas using "human shields." Where? When? I've never seen anything to suggest this. Gaza is densely populated. It is one of the most densely populated places on earth. How far away from civilians can anyone get in Gaza? This is the same thing Israel said during the Lebanon War of 2006. They said the same thing before that in similar circumstances where Israel hit civilian facilities on purpose. It's one of their standard playbook lies.
Anyway, Hamas is the duly elected government of the Palestinian people that should have been dealt with as people who could renounce terrorism, just as the IRA did, if Israel would have been interested in peace rather than land grabbing and ethnic bigotry against their close cousins.
Watch for false-flag operations. Watch for total war — all's fair when Old Testament Jews move to eradicate and exterminate their created enemies who sit on the land and resources they so deeply covet. Follow the money, always! Therefore, follow the oil and gas, etc. Watch the Empire under Obama be blatant and undisguised — no less megalomaniacal than was Alexander the Aristotelian, homosexual whose selfish lust knew no bounds. The whole world is in play. It always has been.
This is where WWIII really starts and ends.
MANMOHAN SINGH DANGEROUS, RECKLESS SPECULATION
So, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh of India blames official Pakistan for the Mumbai attacks. That's wild. It's just speculation at best. It's totally Empire black-ops, false-flag followed by major propaganda more than likely. This causes serious damage to India's reputation. It was already reeling from Hindutva (Fundamentalist Hindu militancy/politics).
DIANE FEINSTEIN LIKES TORTURE: TIME TO GO
Diane Feinstein, one of the Democratic Senators who voted in committee for the reprehensible neocon lawyer/judge Michael Mukasey to become U.S. Attorney General who couldn't bring himself to call waterboarding torture, has voiced her opposition to Leon Panetta to be the next CIA director. Of course, Leon isn't a torturer. Diane Feinstein needs to go.
RUSSIA UKRAINE: GROW UP
Russia is tussling with Ukraine again about supplying gas. Russia is upset with Ukraine that Ukraine has been more than flirting with joining the European Union and NATO. This is a bad situation all the way around.
OBAMA HINTS AT LONG-ANTICIPATED/PREDICTED CUTS IN SOCIAL SERVICES AND ENTITLEMENTS
There it is. Obama is hinting that this economic depression will now be used to cut social services, entitlements, and welfare assistance (I said that this was the plan all along, long before the Crash of 2008 but during the setting up for the crash) and to increase unemployment all to make the people on the bottom all the more the slaves of the ultra-rich. The poor and middle class will fight for lower and lower paying jobs while those at the top bribe politicians to allow them, the plutocrats to continue on. The poor and middle class will join the ranks of the military to do the bidding of the evil ruling elite. The only thing that can change this is violent socialist revolution, which is a terrible idea, or peaceful displacement of the plutocratic system via real Christianity.
The smartest thing to do is dump the Pentagon, as I've said all along. The Pentagon does not put anything back into the economy that then continues producing. It is very nearly a one-time shot spending spree.
They just want to cut taxes and cut entitlements while bailing out the rich who gambled and lost. They want to privatize Social Security to ruin it. They want to privatize Medicare to ruin it, just the way they ruined all the retirement savings via the Crash. It has all been a huge transfer of wealth from the bottom up.
KARL ROVE IS STILL SPREADING EVIL: DEAD MEN DON'T TALK ROVE HOPES
Karl Rove is still spreading the total lie: "No one could have anticipated the attacks of 9/11"?
Who isn't aware that the Pentagon rehearsed a passenger plane hitting the Pentagon? We've seen the model and the Defense Department people standing around it. Who isn't aware that George W. Bush was told that there were plans to fly planes into high rises? You know, if they had any brains at all, at least they could say that while they knew all along about these possibilities, they didn't know the exact places or the times.
Well, that wouldn't go over though would it? If they knew what they actually knew, they would have to have been vigilant enough to prevent it. However, that's not what they wanted. If they had stopped the attacks, then public opinion wouldn't have been panicked, by lies, such as the Yellowcake forgery Bush used right in his State of the Union Address, into going along with invasions to stealing oil and to expand empire and denying others empire, etc.
It's my understanding he's put out talking points that include that Bush kept us safe. Please, Bush has created enemies galore now. There are so many young boys right now growing up with a mind to take revenge it's sickening. Not only that but Islam condones it with provisos. That's the plan though isn't it? The whole idea is to create enemies.
The more and longer Rove runs things, the more the GOP goes into the ditch. Oh well, it's inevitable.
Do you remember when all the White House emails of Karl Rove were illegally run through the GWB43.com accounts, which emails conveniently then disappeared? The fellow who set that up and other GOP computer systems, Mike Connell, died in a small-engine plane crash on December 19, 2008. He was facing testifying about what he knew about the illegal emails and what happened to them and other things. His lawyer told the Ohio court that Mike had been threatened with harm to his family if he talked. Dead men don't talk unless he set up an insurance plan where he stashed all the info he knew and which will find it's way into the hands of an investigative reporter or two on account of his untimely death. We shall see. He knew about the diversion of electronic election results from Ohio to a basement controlled by the GOP and then back to Ohio after having been manipulated anyway the GOP operatives wanted.
You know, once someone sells his soul to the devil, he has nothing to lose unless he sees the light and God gets back his soul. Karl Rove still has nothing to lose.

Standing Comment, all posts and pages:
To all homosexuals and their supporters, condoners, promoters, accepters, confirmers, and the like:
Unless you have something completely new that hasn't already been refuted, don't bother. It won't show up.
Rehashing what has already been refuted is a waste of everyone's time.
I'm not interested in casting pearls before swine, giving the children's bread to the dogs, or rebuking a forever scorner.
Learn or go away: There is zero wisdom in homosexuality. Homosexuality is wrong. Nothing any homosexual or anyone else can say or do will alter it. No one needs the Bible to know it either. It's prima facie. There's no such thing as an unrepentant-homosexual Christian. There never has been and never will be. That's the way of it. If you don't like it, change.
Do site searches on the various topics concerning homosexuality to determine if your "point" has already been handled. Currently, I provide three different search methods. The "WordPress" search is still the most thorough.
The same can be done regarding militarism, capitalism, coercion, and many other main issues and themes.
TREATMENT, RUDENESS, POLITENESS, OFFENSE, TRUTH
Many times over the course of this website's existence, I've had commentators complain about how I've treated them and/or others. Much less frequently has anyone taken exception to those commentator's comments. I assume that's because for one, I appear to be holding my own.
Often, I have raised the fact that Jesus called certain people "serpents." I've often also mentioned how he cleaned the temple with whip in hand, not that he used it on anyone. It certainly doesn't say that he did, and neither was he charged with it in the kangaroo court of the serpents who ended up murdering him by proxy just for, among other wonderful things, speaking out and speaking truth.
If I say that those who are engaged in serpentine behavior are the New Testament "serpents," then why take offense at my saying it rather than standing with Jesus and me about it?
If others don't like it that I treat others or them the way I have in this regard, why don't they take it up with the serpents and/or their own consciences and God?
If I wanted to catch flies, I'd use honey. I don't want flies on this level. Human beings aren't to be on the level of flies. If the truth is bitter as vinegar, then ask yourself why and learn to taste it as sweet but not sickeningly so. Why attack the message and messenger, as the serpents did, and become a serpent by so doing?
The issue is not "name calling" on some bratty, childish level. When Jesus said "serpents," he was not being as a brat. His level was completely adult to adults and children. He dared say that the children understood the clear and plain truth before the adults who, afterall, had been abused and socialized by the serpents. He still calls adults back. Those who hear him and know his voice (truth) turn around and do the other required things together as well.
What is it for a human being to be more serpentine or reptilian than what God initially gave? What was and remains Jesus's point? What is the reptilian brain versus the vastly higher human brain with its cerebral cortex and frontal and temporal lobes and specific areas of altruistic sentiments and abilities? What are those higher areas before they are damaged, before the communication pathways to them and between them are diminished by evil that is always some form of abuse? How are those pathways reestablished or created where they never were in this fleshly life?
The snake lays its eggs. The eggs hatch. The snake parent doesn't nurture or raise the offspring. It's every snake for itself. Human parents and family are not designed to be that way. Humans hand down the learning of nurturing. Many people get better training than do others, and many people have a greater aptitude for learning and predisposition for the higher and highest virtues. Many are less abused. People can change for the better and best though, no matter where the starting point. They only can't if they don't — if they reject it.
Snakes, of course, also come in venomous varieties and in strangling varieties, etc., such that they have been attackers and even devourers of humans for eons, guilty and innocent alike.
Now, Jesus knew that most people could relate to what were, and still are, largely considered "good" parenting skills and "good" "family" relations. He regularly used those concepts to get people to consider the wider implications for the whole of humanity. He did know that many would refuse. He let them go. He didn't demand secular or false-religion legislation to rein them in with threats of violence and imprisonment. He was not and is not coercive. Even his Church is a voluntary place to be.
What he still teaches (through the written words in the New Testament and as those connect with the Old and also teaches through the Holy Spirit he definitely sent as he said he would) is, among many other things, that "good" is vastly better than has been commonly accepted and that real "family" is everyone left after all the rest have rejected the higher and highest good. He raised the standards far above the Old Testament and far above the "modern" standard.
The American Empire and the American people in general aren't even touching the hem of his garment, let alone even attempting to stand upright and side-by-side with him.
I point out that Jesus was, and is, a Real Liberal Christian. He is the one who brought back this censored truth that is the light. After he had spoken it and lived it and was murdered for doing so, the censors set about to re-censor it and did. They couldn't put it out though — couldn't completely extinguish the truth. I wouldn't be saying it now again with all credit to God, just as Jesus, if they had been able to completely block it.
I point out that each of those terms ("real," "liberal," and "Christian," along with "Church") are actually redundant terms — synonyms that are so close that they become one. The term "liberal" here is not the common usage, which common usage is a deliberate corruption of the term. There is no harm in real liberalism. There is no vileness in it. There is only beneficence. "Real" may be understood as the opposite of false-hearted, dark side, and dead of the Holy Spirit. Christian is both real and liberal in those senses. To arrive at living, doing, being those full senses requires what Jesus lives, does, and is in the highest. Finally, the Church is the whole.
Who are they who want to drag it down, censor it, work against it, lessen it, ignore it, etc.? Well, who sides with Jesus and who sides against him? Did the serpents side with him then? Do they now?
We call war-mongers "hawks." We call "peacemakers" blessed and "doves." Why do the hawks not take offense at "hawks" but do take offense at "serpents"? "Hawks" is not yet as telling to the general public, but I must tell you that all hawks are serpents. Why do some say, "Greed is good" but take offense at "serpents"? I tell you there is no difference between the selfish and the serpents. Why do people take offense at serpents when they do not take offense at homosexuality? I tell you the homosexual spirit also comes out from the dark side. It is a choice. It is harmful. Many are abused with it. Many never overcome it. Their very brain matter is transformed by it. Then they claim it is good when it remains confusion and definitely wrong and harmful.
Many arguments were put forth in support of tolerance. I understood that Jesus "tolerated," as in he did not execute wrath but rather told the truth and let the blind follow the blind (blind to the truth) into the ditch of their own making. I have watched while the movement has been corrupted into condoning what was once only to be tolerated. I have watched further while it has moved from condoning to promoting even to the youngest children to get to them before the truth does. I have seen evil at work, and I sound the alarm. I face censorship and other negative reactions for it.
As the American Empire claims to be a light to the world, it murders innocent babies by Hellfire missiles fired from predator drones controlled by armchair, video-gaming serpents in uniform. It tortures those who are not even suspects. It spies on its own without even probable cause or reasonable suspicion. It lies its way into wars for spoils and control. It neglects its poor, whom it treads down for the sakes of the superrich — for the sake of the massive flow of mammon from the bottom up (no trickledown — trickledown is a farce and always has been). All is claimed to be okay in America though — that America is headed in the right direction — because soon, even "don't tell, don't ask" will be a thing of the quaint past and homosexuals may be able to sleep together and have sex in the barracks with the "blessing" of the Empire while they practice murdering the innocent for the sake of homosexual, greedy plutocrats who own them and who, in turn, are owned by the dark-side spirit named by God and Jesus as Satan.
Whose side are you on? I speak truth to warn. I don't tell the secular government what to do other than occasionally to say what at least would be less hypocritical within their fallen, unenlightened system. I do so for spiritual reasons. What I want is the Christian Commons.
Now, if you submit a comment:
What you write here against the Real Liberal Christian Church founded by Jesus Christ will mark you in the Biblical sense unless you show that you have turned and are repenting in time to escape the damnation of your own choosing. That's the way of it. Don't be tempted by the devil to stand opposed to the call of righteousness. Overcome such evil temptation. Help others to help yet others to come to righteous behavior through-and-through.
Check out how even after reading this, people will still take it out of context and twist it to an evil end.
