Unto Us a Child is Born
1 But there is no gloom upon her who is distressed, as when at first He humbled the land of Zeá¸ulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward more heavily oppressed her, by the way of the sea, beyond the YardÄn, in Galil of the nations.
2 The people who were walking in darkness have seen a great light; upon those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death a light has shone.
3 You shall increase the nation; You shall make its joy great. They shall rejoice before You, as in the joy of harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
4 For You shall break the yoke of his burden and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Miá¸yan.
5 For every boot of one trampling in tumult, and coat rolled in blood, shall be used for burning and fuel of fire.
6 For a Child shall be born unto us, a Son shall be given unto us, and the rule is on His shoulder. And His Name is called Wonder, Counsellor, Strong Äl, Father of Continuity, Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of His rule and peace there is no end, upon the throne of DawiḠand over His reigna, to establish it and sustain it with right-ruling and with righteousness from now on, even forever. The ardour of ×××× of hosts does this.
8 ×××× sent a word against Yaâaqoá¸, and it has fallen on YisraâÄl.
9 And the people shall know, all of them, Ephrayim and the inhabitant of Shomeron, who say in pride and greatness of heart:
10 âThe bricks have fallen down, but we rebuild with hewn stones; the sycamores are cut down, but we replace them with cedars.â
11 And ×××× set up the adversaries of Retsin against him, and stirred up his enemies,
12 the Arameans before and the Philistines behind. And they devour YisraâÄl with an open mouth. With all this His displeasure has not turned back, and His hand is still stretched out.
13 And the people have not turned back to Him who smites them, nor have they sought ×××× of hosts.
14 And ×××× cuts off head and tail from YisraâÄl, palm branch and reed in one day.
15 Elder and highly respected, he is the head; the prophet who teaches falsehood, he is the tail.
16 For the leaders of this people lead them astraya, and those who are guided by them are swallowed up.
17 Therefore ×××× does not rejoice over their young men, and has no compassion on their fatherless and widows; for everyone is defiled and evil, and every mouth speaks foolishness. With all this His displeasure has not turned back, and His hand is still stretched out.
18 For wrongness burns as the fire; it consumes thornbushes and weeds, and sets the bushes of the forest ablaze, and they roll up like rising smoke.
19 The land shall be burned up by the wrath of ×××× of hosts, and the people be as fuel for the fire. A man shall not spare his brother,
20 and cut down on the right hand, but shall be hungry; and he devours on the left hand, but shall not be satisfied; each one devouring the flesh of his own arm:
21 Menashsheh Ephrayim, and Ephrayim Menashsheh; together they are against Yehuá¸ah. With all this His displeasure has not turned back, and His hand is still stretched out. â Isaiah 9 | The Scriptures 1998 (ISR 1998) The Scriptures 1998 Copyright Š 1998 Institute for Scripture Research.

ik this is known but no successful settler colony has reached relative "internal stability" without genocide. north america is the first example of this that comes to mind: during the early years all up to the 19th cent., wars and attacks between native americans and settlers were frequent. and yes, while the settler armies were more well armed and more powerful, the native americans were a great force against the european invasions and did cause casualties among white populations, "including civillians", and halted expansion and development for many of the colonies.
this was met in 2 ways:
federal programs sponsored by the colonial states (violent deculturation, seperation from families through residential & boarding schools, expulsion from ancestral lands and destruction of the indigenous identity)
and unofficial, "individual" settler and enlistee actions of massacres upon indigenous populations. these events obviously were never prosecuted because they worked in tandem with the colonial powers, supported and encouraged by them.
the extermination of the american indigenous people wasn't just a facet of american success but the foundation of it. if they weren't subject to the genocide, the wealth and vast land in north america wouldn't have reached the white populations and the continent would be unrecognizable today, with canada and the united states not slightly as globally influencial as they are today. imagine a usa reliant on tourism.
and ik this is all elementary level information, but israel mirrors this entire process in eery similarity, with ancient, ancestral lands seized from palestenians exploited and destroyed for capital gains following violent expulsions (the nakba created israel). palestinians remaining within the israeli border endure lynchings and attacks by settlers as well as repression and persecution under federal law. israel was founded on the same colonialist principles that america and other european settler colonies (algeria, mozambique, kenya) were: their survival just depended on how far they would go to destroy the indigenous population.
what im dreading is that israel is on course to go further and proceed with that destruction. we are currently is a uniquely horrifying moment: 2,600 dead palestenians and 6,000 in hospitals with 0 supplies and 0 power - and the ground assault following the impossible evacuations is looming. the massacres about to sweep palestinian lands with the gifting of the ten thousand rifles to settlers. the unprovoked, unwarned and constant airstrikes. the monolithic, hysteric nature of mainstream western media. the army's sentiment of hunting animals. the global unrepentant backing. the repeated promise of complete victory.
what would complete victory mean? you cannot quell palestenian resistance without exterminating palestine. the palestenian people are a tortured people, hungry, radicalized simply from their day to day life: not one gazan hasn't watched corpses being pulled from the rubble, not one gazan doesn't have murdered family, not one gazan doesn't have something to mourn. their friends and family disappear or lose limbs on the daily now, building on grief from the previous 7 decades deep destruction. the homesickness is constant. the sounds of explosions is never far. of course there would be resistance movements, of course there would be revenge attacks, of course it will be bloody, because no humans in the world could silently endure these conditions. if hamas was entirely destroyed tomorrow, the next generation of palestinian youths would simply form another. for a complete, permanent victory, you would need to raze palestine.
this is why i balk at people hoping for coexistence. coexistence goes against the very founding strategy of israel. it goes against every principle and long term plan israel has for itself. israelis themselves do not want coexistence, they want gaza flattened and the west bank annexed, they want palestine destroyed and the palestenian people extinct. any sympathy with israel is a transgression on humanity.
#palestine#gaza#anti zionisim#this is a very base level knowledge of native american history by the way im sorry

Besides the unrepentant Jew-hatred, one of the worst things to come out of this conflict is that I have no more trust when it comes to news out of Gaza. None. My empathy has been taken advantage of too many times. At least 80% of the stories coming out of that strip of land always prove to be false after 24-48 hours of independent verification. There's always multiple "last hospital standing in Gaza." People always posting about "there's no power in Gaza" yet their cell phones are always working. Inflated death numbers. Lying about a famine. Half of the images out of that damn place are stolen from Syria. Another quarter are proven to be AI. There is no way to ever be sure what news out of Gaza is true or fake, and I'm tired of it.
I just assume any news from the Palestinians' mouths is a lie until it's proven true because they do not deserve the benefit of the doubt anymore.
I believe Palestinians in Gaza are suffering. The problem is that pretty much every activist and press group and NGO that could report on how badly they are suffering has been proven to be useful idiots at best, falling for the 2020 Gaza Rapture and how Israel sent tainted Covid vaccines to cause autism and how the worst thing that ever happened in the Middle East was the Al-Ahli hospital "bombing."
I'm sorry to say this but any time I have ever attempted discussion of this with a Palestinian-AMERICAN it has always proven pointless. I have never encountered one that knew the most basic history outside AJ's two-minute-hate soundbites. None had ever heard of the Peel Commission or al-Husseini. All of them, to the last, believed the two stripes on the Israeli flag symbolize ruling from the Nile to the Euphrates. One told me that Zionism had oppressed the good peaceful original Jews like Golda Meir who had identified as a Palestinian - because that person had never read her famous interview where she declared "Palestinian" meant Jew and that there was no such thing as a distinctly Palestinian Arab at all. Meir was taking the hardest-core anti-Palestinian stance imaginable and this AMERICAN COLLEGE GRADUATE saw it as solidarity! They know NOTHING - about their enemy! How the fuck does that work? How can someone have an adversary in a long conflict and make zero effort to learn who they are, what they care about, why they are there? And as I've pointed out before, this unlettered bluffing goes to the highest levels of Palestinian society. It is a roadmap to failure.

Started listening to American Predator while doing my chores etc. Something I didn't realize or even think of, and I guess it's just unfamiliarity with this style of business, is that Samantha Koenig worked at one of those bikini kiosks.
If you're not familiar with him, the book is about Israel Keyes, a very recent American serial killer who committed suicide in prison in 2012. He has a mythology about being the most meticulous serial killer of all time, because he buried multiple caches of supplies, or "kill kits," all across the country, and traveled hundreds of miles out of his way to retrieve these kits and commit his murders, exploiting jurisdictional boundaries and the isolation and lack of resources in rural and underprivileged areas to make people disappear.
He was caught after he kidnapped and murdered Samantha Koenig, a teenager working a night shift at a coffee kiosk in Anchorage, Alaska. He held her hostage, raped her, killed her, froze her corpse in his shed, later returned and thawed her body, sewed open her eyelids, and staged a "proof of life" photo so that he could collect ransom for her. Later, he dismembered her and submerged the pieces of her body in an Alaskan lake. It's been implied in what I've read and listened to that he committed necrophilia with her corpse and the corpses of other victims.
Samantha Koenig worked at a coffee kiosk. In the American Northwest this seems to be a pretty common business, and to be stereotypically staffed by young, attractive women, especially because in the summer, the female staff wears bikinis to serve coffee. The first 48 hours of the investigation into her disappearance were squandered by investigators assuming she had just run away. Even when surveillance footage was discovered showing Keyes holding her at gunpoint, forcing her to empty the register, tying her up, and kidnapping her, it was considered "unclear" whether this is what was actually happening, because they'd appeared to be having a friendly conversation beforehand. The police did not publicize her disappearance until after her father's activities--standing outside the kiosk for hours, handing out flyers with her face on them--forced them to act.
When I realized she worked at one of those bikini shops, I thought about the video publicized a few months ago of a young woman at a similar shop on the West Coast, who, after a male customer berated and threatened her and threw coffee at her and the kiosk window, took out a hammer and smashed his windshield. She was interviewed afterward through a lens of how she should be regretting or questioning her own actions. Luckily, this woman was totally unrepentant, as she should be.
Something it makes me think about is the extent to which these women and girls are considered disposable. If Samantha Koenig's father had not advocated on her behalf and widely publicized her disappearance, what actions would the police have taken? What did it matter if it initially appeared that she was friendly with her attacker in the video--how does that possibly confuse the issue of her being held at gunpoint and tied up with zip ties? She didn't have her own bank account, not even her own debit card. She didn't have her own car. How was she going to run away?
I don't have a full conclusion here. But this is what's circling in my head right now:
Objectification/dehumanization of these women and girls, especially because of working in a sexualized environment
The role of women and girls, especially in customer-facing service roles, as absorbers of cultural (male) aggression and unhappiness
The indifference of authorities to these "disposable" women (something which Keyes not only exploited here, but to the nth degree when he victimized Native communities, people of color, and prostituted, drug-addicted women--Gary Ridgway was similar)

Hamasâ grisly terror raid on Oct. 7 has proved to be the single most stunningly successful act in gaining support for the Palestinian causeânot among Israeli or American voters, of course, but among top Democratic policymakers, and their counterparts across the Western world. One might think that a campaign of unrepentant killing, torture, rape, and hostage-taking would be disqualifying for a national independence movement. But in Washington, Hamasâ ongoing crimes have resulted in much of the weight of the U.S. government being brought to bear on advancing the cause of Palestinian statehood, and its correlate, the punishment and demonization of the Jewish state.
Months of U.S. backing for the Palestinian national cause have produced glorious results for Palestinian diplomacy. Whereas less than two years ago, at a meeting with President Mahmoud Abbas, President Biden had declared that âthe ground is not ripeâ for renewing negotiations between Ramallah and Jerusalem, the Oct. 7 massacres made Biden change his mindâand make the establishment of a Palestinian state with all deliberate speed a central priority of U.S. Middle East policy. Since Oct. 7, four countries have recognized the âState of Palestine,â with three European states indicating their intent to do so in May. That is more recognition than the PA has won in the entire past decade (notably, only one country moved to recognize Palestinian statehood during the Trump administration).
International institutions, seeing that Israelâs protection by the U.S. has been lifted, have also showered gifts on the perpetrators of Oct. 7. In recent weeks, the U.N. General Assembly voted to upgrade the Palestiniansâ status, giving them privileges reserved for member states. On Monday, the International Criminal Court charged Israelâs prime minister and defense minister with committing war crimes, placing them on a par with the terrorist leader of Hamas, Yahya Sinwarâa huge diplomatic coup for the terrorist group that creates a moral equivalence between it and Israel. Had Oct. 7 only managed to revive the trial of Jews for killing babies, it would have still been a triumph.
Indeed, in his first three years in office Biden was careful to avoid overtly repealing any of President Trumpâs historic pro-Israel initiatives, preferring a more indirect approach that nevertheless signaled the administrationâs preferences and end goals. In recent months, the administration has dropped all pretensesâmaking it clear that Iran, not Israel, is its favored regional client. Israel is forbidden from restoring peace to the countryâs north by attacking Hezbollah in Lebanon, or from offering anything more than a token response to a massive direct attack by Iran.
By itself, the specific identity of the perpetrators of gruesome violence does not account for Western advocacy on their behalf. That is explained only by the specific identity of the victims: Jews.Share
A similar about-face applied to the question of Israelâs borders. In November 2019, then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo clarified that the United States did not view Jews residing in Judea and Samaria (âWest Bank settlers,â as they are called) as a violation of international law; two months later he âdisavowedâ the so-called Hansell Memorandum of 1978, which used shaky legal reasoning to declare Jewish communities in the historic Jewish heartland to be illegitimate. In June 2023, the State Department circulated foreign policy guidance to relevant agencies ending bilateral scientific and technological cooperation with Israeli institutions in Judea and Samaria, East Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights, even as it maintained that it had not reinstated the Hansell memo.
This past February, however, the administration let it all hang out. Without bothering to present any legal analysis, Secretary of State Blinken declared that Jewish communities in those areas that had been ethnically cleansed by Jordan after 1948 were illegal (âinconsistent with international lawâ), going further than even the Obama administration, which had used the lesser epithet âillegitimate.â
Last month, the administration indicated it might require that Israeli-made products from Judea and Samaria no longer be labeled as âMade in Israel.â

In Subcontractors of Guilt: Holocaust Memory and Muslim Belonging in Postwar Germany, Esra ĂzyĂźrek describes the way that German politicians, officials and journalists, now that the far right is in the ascendant, have been cranking up the old mechanism of sanitising Germany by demonising Muslims. In December 2022, German police foiled a coup attempt by ReichsbĂźrger, an extremist group with more than twenty thousand members, which was planning an assault on the Bundestag. Alternative fĂźr Deutschland, which has neo-Nazi affiliations, has become the countryâs second most popular party, partly in response to economic mismanagement by the coalition led by Olaf Scholz. Yet despite the undisguised antisemitism of even mainstream politicians such as Hubert Aiwanger, the deputy minister-president of Bavaria, âwhite Christian-background Germansâ see themselves âas having reached their destination of redemption and re-democratisationâ, according to ĂzyĂźrek. The âgeneral German social problem of antisemitismâ is projected onto a minority of Arab immigrants, who are then further stigmatised as âthe most unrepentant antisemitesâ in need of âadditional education and discipliningâ. ...
Netanyahu, too, has learned from Germanyâs postwar efforts at whitewashing. In 2015 he claimed that the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem had persuaded Hitler to murder rather than simply expel the Jews. Three years later, after initially criticising a move by the Law and Justice Party in Poland to criminalise references to Polish collaboration, he endorsed the law making such references punishable by a fine. He has since legitimised Shoah revisionism in Lithuania and Hungary, commending both countries for their valiant struggle against antisemitism. (Efraim Zuroff, a historian who has helped bring many former Nazis to trial, compared this to âpraising the Ku Klux Klan for improving racial relations in the Southâ.) More recently, Netanyahu accompanied Elon Musk to one of the kibbutzim targeted by Hamas, just days after Musk tweeted in support of an antisemitic conspiracy theory. Since 7 October, he has seemed to be reading from the Eichmann trial script. He regularly announces that he is fighting the ânew Nazisâ in Gaza in order to save âWestern civilisationâ, while others in his cohort of Jewish supremacists keep up a supporting chorus. The people of Gaza are âsubhumanâ, âanimalsâ, âNazisâ. ...
In a more unnerving illustration of the postwar German-Israeli symbiosis, the German health minister, Karl Lauterbach, approvingly retweeted a video in which Douglas Murray, a mouthpiece of the English far right, claims that the Nazis were more decent than Hamas. âWatch and listen,â retweeted Karin Prien, deputy chair of the Christian Democratic Union and education minister for Schleswig-Holstein. âThis is great,â Jan Fleischhauer, a former contributing editor at Der Spiegel, wrote. âReally great,â echoed Veronika Grimm, a member of the German Council of Economic Experts. The SĂźddeutsche Zeitung, which in 2021 âoutedâ five Lebanese and Palestinian journalists at Deutsche Welle as antisemites, with equally flimsy evidence exposed the Indian poet and art historian Ranjit Hoskote as a calumniator of Jews for comparing Zionism with Hindu nationalism. Die Zeit alerted German readers to another moral outrage: âGreta Thunberg openly sympathises with the Palestinians.â An open letter from Adam Tooze, Samuel Moyn and other academics criticising JĂźrgen Habermasâs statement in support of Israelâs actions provoked an editor at the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung to claim that Jews have an âenemyâ at universities in the form of postcolonial studies. Der Spiegel ran a cover picture of Scholz alongside his claim that âwe need to deport on a grand scale again.â ... Susan Neiman, who wrote admiringly of Vergangenheitsbewältigung in Learning from the Germans (2020), now says she has changed her mind. âGerman historical reckoning has gone haywire,â she wrote in October. âThis philosemitic fury ... has been used to attack Jews in Germany.â In Never Again: Germans and Genocide after the Holocaust, which examines the German response to mass killings in Cambodia, Rwanda and the Balkans, Andrew Port suggests that their âotherwise admirable reckoning with the Holocaust may have unwittingly desensitised Germans. The conviction that they had left the rabid racism of their forebears far behind them may have paradoxically allowed for the unabashed expression of different forms of racism.â

Thousands of Nazis worked in Egypt
A BBC programme has been exploring the little-known subject of the Nazis who came to live and work in Egypt after the end of WWII. The segment at the start (14 minutes long ) has an interview with a former far-right supporter called Frank Gelli, and another with Vivyan Kinross, author of the book Nazis on the Nile. (With thanks: Alec)
Johann Von Leers ran Nasserâs anti-Jewish campaign and remained an unrepentant antisemite
Gelli belonged to a far-right group in Italy, and was sent in 1964 to Egypt to deliver greetings to Johann von Leers aka Omar Amin. Von Leers was a member of the SS who arrived in Egypt in 1956 and converted to Islam. He masterminded Egyptian president Nasserâs antisemitic campaign. He had written 20 books and was responsible for anti-Jewish radio broadcasts.
Von Leers opened the door to Gelli in his pyjamas. He reminded the Italian of an elfin with wrinkles. Still an unrepentant antisemite, he told Gelli âthe Pope looks like a Jewâ and âHitler had got it rightâ when he murdered six million Jews in the Holocaust. Von Leers was worried about Mossad shipping him to Israel. (Mossad had captured and tried Adolph Eichmann in 1961). Von Leers died a year after Gelliâs visit. Gelli is today an Anglican priest.
Nasser and the Nazis had shared interests. Thousands of Nazis had escaped Germany through ratlines and were recruited to bolster Egyptâs security and defence following its disastrous defeat by Israel in 1948.
The programme mentions the dramatic decline in Egyptâs Jewish population but does not make a direct connection with the Nazis in Egypt.
How Nazis in Egypt helped âpersuadeâ Jews to leave

âthey donât even both suckâ are you fucking kidding me.
is this the same joe biden whoâs turned his back on every disabled person in this country by promoting the eugenicist LIE that the covid pandemic is over??? whoâs never said the words long-covid or acknowledged it exists?? (incredibly reminiscent of reaganâs response to hiv/aidsâŚ.)
is it the same guy who has been continuously sending weapons to the Zionist occupation of Palestine, regardless of their unrepentant genocidal behavior?? whoâs willingly swallowing their lies & propaganda because it benefits the united states? who said âif there were not an Israel, weâd have to invent oneâ?
who gives a fuck if heâs ânegotiating a ceasefireâ it hasnât fucking worked. hamas has proposed multiple ceasefire plans that have been rejected every time. we wouldnât need a ceasefire if the USA stopped fucking arming & funding the zionist entity in the first place!!
#vote blue no matter who people shut up challenge#iâm so sick of seeing people try to minimize and dismiss all of this & MORE#all youâre doing is defending horrific acts from biden and actively resisting holding him accountable#and then we end up with this fucking bulllshit on my dash where we act like biden has been a good president#and not an instrument of destruction & pain for so many other countries that are subjugated by the u.s. imperial empire#kttalks

Published: Nov 15, 2024
This month is #IslamophobiaAwarenessMonth. The ostensible goal of this initiative is to âdeconstruct and challenge stereotypes about Islam and Muslimsâ. A noble aim you might think, as apparently do the organisations, institutions & individuals signalling their support.
However, Islamophobia Awareness Month was co-founded by the Islamist group MEND - an organisation closely tied to the terrorist support group CAGE and created with the purpose of âbattering the Israel lobbyâ according to its founder Sufyan Ismail.Â
MENDâs idea of challenging stereotypes appears to consist of attacking liberal Muslims & partnering with Salafist hate preachers such as Haitham al Haddad & Shakeel Begg.
Haddad supports death for apostasy. Begg was found by a judge to have âencouraged religious violence.â
One of MENDâs former directors, the now CAGE-employed Azad Ali, is also no stranger to court cases. This unrepentant Hamas supporter launched a libel suit against the Daily Mail for describing him as a hardline extremist who supports the killing of UK troops in Iraq. He lost.
MENDâs founder has pushed the scare-mongering assertion that British society hates Muslims, and has falsely and irresponsibly claimed that UK law does not consider threatening or committing violence against Muslims to be a crime.
Yet for a group who launched an anti-Islamophobia initiative, MEND are not keen on the infinitely more moderate group Tell Mama who exist for the same purpose. MEND have described them as being headed by a âpro-Zionistâ & criticised their liberal position on homosexuality.
MEND were also less than enthused with the appointment of liberal Muslim Sara Kahn to lead the counter extremism commission, with one of their officials referring to her as âan Oreoâ â a racist reference to those who are deemed brown on the outside but white underneath.
In 2018 head of counter-terrorism policing, Sir Mark Rowley, aptly criticised MENDâs undermining of efforts to tackle hate crime - referencing their absurd and divisive claim that Britain was "approaching the conditions that preceded the Holocaust".
It should be clear that partnering with extremists groups like MEND and their cohorts, or otherwise legitimising them, does nothing to challenge actual bigotry, and that anyone interested in actually making a difference in this area should be giving MEND a very wide berth.
==
In other words, "Islamophobia Awareness Month" is completely bogus, a propaganda tactic by Islamists to try to culturally embed the idea that any resistance to the demands of Islam constitutes racism and bigotry; namely, the imaginary crime of "Islamophobia."
The last time I posted about the fact "Islamophobia" doesn't exist, a number of people lost their minds, calling me the usual, predictable, tedious epithets.
So, before anyone screams at me like a blue-hair banshee, know that I will block and remove all traces of your reply or reblog unless you meet the following challenge: describe a real, legitimate, justified criticism of Islam in a way that does NOT and CANNOT constitute "Islamophobia."
That is my threshold. These kinds of people like to pretend that they're not trying to censor all criticism of Islam, they're just trying to protect people, by acting as if I just don't know enough (when I demonstrably know more than they do) and that it's the way I'm criticising it. So, demonstrate how it's done. If you cannot meet this straightforward challenge - and I'm pretty sure you can't, and you know you can't - then don't bother wasting my time or your own, because nobody needs to listen do you and you've already proven my point.
"Islam is not a race⌠Islam is simply a set of beliefs, and it is not âIslamophobicâ to say Islam is incompatible with liberal democracy." -- Ayaan Hirsi Ali

So Hamas allies in the US attended the hearings today on Capitol Hill about aid to Israel. It looks like they attended in costume because it was Halloween.
Now, most likely they using as an inspiration the photo on the right with the man, hands bloodied, in the window. Who is he? How did his hands get that way?
That manâs name is Abdel Aziz Salha. He is a âPalestinianâ originally form Ramallah.
The photo was taken on October 12, 2000. On that day, two Israeli reservists took a wrong turn and ended up in Ramallah. Ramallah, then as now, was under PA control. Since the two men were Israeli Jews, they were taken into custody by the PA Police and taken to the police station under arrest.
The man in the left picture below is Vadim Norzhich was a truck driver who had made Aliyah from Russia ten years earlier. The man on the right is Yossi Avrahami, a toy salesman in civilian life. On the day in question, they were reservists in the IDF being called to report to an IDF base at Beit El.
While arrested and in custody, Salha and crowd of Arabs formed. This was just over 2 weeks into the Second Intifada, an uprising that occurred because a Jew had the temerity to go up to the Temple Mount (side note, I did it seven years before and they didnât care). Salha, and his buddies, were angry that the Israelis had not just let his compatiots riot and destroy everything they could. So when they heard that 2 Israelis were in custody, it was time for pay back.
In the US, if this were to happen, weâd call it a lynch mob.
Rather than disperse the crowd and retain control, the PA Police were happy to let Salha and his buddies âstormâ the police station and pull the two Israelis out of the cells. The group that actually entered the police station were made up of 2 Tanzim members (part of Fatah/PLO) and 2 Hamas members. It appears that Salha was the only who wasnât a member of either terrorist groups.
They were beaten.
They were stabbed.
Their bodies were mutilated.
And Salha was part of that. He choked one of the Israelis while others beat and then butchered them with knives.
Salha was pursued by the Shin Bet for 11 months before he was finally caught. At trial, he was convicted of murder of Norzhich. He was supposed to spend life in prison, the harshest penalty israeli courts can impose on anyone who isnât a member of the Nazi party form 1933 to 1945.
But instead of spending lift in prison, he was exchanged as part of the prisoner swap for Gilad Shalit.
When asked if he had any regrets about murdering Norzhich by the Eletronic Intifada, he replied
âI believe it is not the right thing to speak about such incidents because ti is nto going to make a difference whether people know the details or not. ⌠â Salha said. âIt will harm us [those who killed Israeli soldiers] if we keep speaking and boasting about what we did, and also it will be used agaisnt us by Israeli media.â
âDoes that mean you regret what youâve done?â I ask him
Looking ponderous, Salha remained silent for a moment before replying, âIt just means we should not speak about how we feel about what we did.â
So the Left is celebrating an unrepentant murderer of Jews for being Jews in the âwrongâ place. Theyâre probably claim its the equivalent of another lie that the intersectional left pushed to the point where people forgot the truth: Hands up, donât shoot.
Kind of par for the course these days.

The Unrepentance of Israel and Judah
Come, let us return to the LORD.
For He has torn us to pieces, but He will heal us; He has wounded us, but He will bind up our wounds. After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His presence. So let us knowâ let us press on to know the LORD. As surely as the sun rises, He will appear; He will come to us like the rain, like the spring showers that water the earth.
What shall I do with you, O Ephraim? What shall I do with you, O Judah? For your loyalty is like a morning mist, like the early dew that vanishes. Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of My mouth, and My judgments go forth like lightning. For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.
But they, like Adam, have transgressed the covenant;
there they were unfaithful to Me. Gilead is a city of evildoers, tracked with footprints of blood. Like raiders who lie in ambush, so does a band of priests; they murder on the way to Shechem; surely they have committed atrocities. In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing: Ephraim practices prostitution there, and Israel is defiled.
Also for you, O Judah, a harvest is appointed, when I restore My people from captivity. â Hosea 6 | The Reader's Bible (BRB) The Readerâs Bible Š 2020 by Bible Hub and Berean.Bible.

The House of Representatives has voted to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., in a 234 - 188 vote on Tuesday night.Â
The punishment, while largely symbolic, was a formal public rebuke of her most recent anti-Israel comments made in the wake of the Jewish nationâs war against terror group Hamas.Â
Twenty-two Democrats voted with 212 Republicans to censure Tlaib. Four GOP lawmakers voted against the measure. Four lawmakers voted present. The measure was introduced by freshman Rep. Rich McCormick, R-Ga., on Monday.Â
TLAIB ACCUSES BIDEN OF âCOMPLICITYâ IN CHILDREN'S DEATHS AFTER CLAIMING HE SUPPORTED âGENOCIDEâ IN GAZA
"If this is not worthy of censure, what is? When you can call for the annihilation of a country and its people, if thatâs not worthy of a censure, what is?" McCormick said on the House floor Tuesday.Â
In the text of his resolution, the Georgia Republican accused Tlaib of "promoting false narratives regarding the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel and for calling for the destruction of the state of Israel."
TLAIB SAYS GOP âDISTORTINGâ HER POSITION ON ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR WITH CENSURE RESOLUTIONS: âOBVIOUS LIESâ
Tlaib, the only Palestinian American in Congress, has come under bipartisan criticism after sharing a video on social platform X that included the phrase "From the river to the sea," a pro-Palestinian liberation slogan.
Her critics have pointed out that the rallying cry implicitly calls for the destruction of Israel as a state. Hamas has also co-opted the phrase. "It is fundamentally a call for a Palestinian state extending from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, territory that includes the State of Israel, which would mean the dismantling of the Jewish state," the Anti-Defamation Leagueâs website says. "It is an antisemitic charge denying the Jewish right to self-determination, including through the removal of Jews from their ancestral homeland."
TLAIB ACCUSES BIDEN OF SUPPORTING âGENOCIDEâ OF PALESTINIANS, WARNS: âWE WILL REMEMBER IN 2024â
Tlaib has remained unrepentant over her use of the phrase.Â
"It is important to separate people and governments," she said on the House floor earlier in the day. "The idea that criticizing the Israeli government is antisemitic sets a dangerous precedent."
The House voted to advance McCormickâs resolution earlier on Tuesday, when a vote to kill the measure was defeated 208 to 213, with one lawmaker voting "present."Â
A resolution to censure Tlaib, brought by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., failed to advance to a vote last week.Â
#nunyas news#it's insane that every other grouping of people#gets to decide what is and isn't derogatory#except Jewish people couple others too#but it really stands out for the Jewish community

One Year of Genocide
Today marks one year since the state of Israel got the pretext they always wanted to launch a campaign of land seizure and genocide against the Palestinian people of Gaza. In that time, at least 41,000 people have been murdered in the strip alone (though some estimates put the real number in the hundreds of thousands), and the Israeli war machine has proceeded to expand its bloody, colonial enterprise onto other countries in the region: the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Yemen... as any person with a tiny bit of sense knew they would.Â
Though I'm not Palestinian, and I am fortunate and privileged in that I don't have the threat of violence, dispossession and death hanging over me, this year has been very difficult regardless. I have watched the worst images I have ever seen in my life, and heard the vilest, most dehumanizing rhetoric the human mind could possibly conceive of. I have witnessed governments, institutions, and people seemingly unlearn the lessons of history and sink back into a miasma of hysteria, hatred, and warmongering. I have experienced trolling, personal attacks, gaslighting, and censure like never before. And yet these are things I take on gladly, in service of a cause that I know is bigger than me. My burdens pale in comparison to those of the Palestinian people, who for an entire year and decades beforehand have experienced the full cruelty of the settler-colonial state: fear, hunger, sickness, humiliation, abuse, death. Nothing is too depraved for the Zionist entity.Â
It's curious to look back on last year and think of all the angry, hostile comments I've got whenever I made my stance on Palestine known. Many were deranged, unrepentant, genocidal fanatics, unworthy of anyone's time and attention. But I also found myself engaging in tedious conversations with people who professed impartiality, non-violence and justice, only to discover that underneath many layers of self-righteousness and willful ignorance lurked people just as unrepentant and racist as all the rest. I do wonder what they'd have to say now, when the Israeli regime has single handedly debunked all of their arguments and excuses: deal after deal that has been sabotaged, the flat out refusal to recognize Palestinian self-determination and the lashing out against anyone that does, and the expansion of their murderous operations into places where there are no hostages, and no Hamas.Â
Because ultimately, as much as I have learned from books, documentaries, human rights organizations, and Palestinians on the ground, my biggest source of enlightenment have ironically been Zionists themselves. Thanks to the words and deeds of Zionist leaders past and present, the occupation army's gleeful live-streaming of war crimes, and the hordes of online apologists, simps and trolls, I am now convinced more than ever that the state of Israel and the ideology it upholds has never been interested in peaceful, just coexistence, and never will. Even the tiniest show of sympathy towards the Palestinian people is a capital offense to them, and they will not be satisfied unless one licks the shit off their boots and thanks them for it. There's no doubt in my mind now that Zionism is an evil, racist ideology, and Israel an evil, racist nation. They will pursue their greedy, cruel, rapacious ends to the very last Palestinian, and even to the detriment of their own colonial project.Â
That's the hope that keeps me going, really. That in spite of all the power it wields, and the violence and misery it has brought (or maybe because of it), the Zionist project is well on its way to meet its end. The first few days of the genocide were difficult, , with the rhetoric online making me think that I was the only sane person in a sea of madness and ignorance. Now I know that is not the case. Many, many more people stand with Palestine than with Israel, especially in countries like my own. The settler-colonial state has been dealt a political and public relations blow from which I doubt it will ever recover. American hegemony is well on the decline, and all of its accomplices will diminish and disappear with it. Zionism, sooner rather than later, will become a hated, disgraced ideology worldwide, just like its close cousin, Nazism, is. I only regret that thousands upon thousands of people will not live to see the day of their liberation. But that's why we fight: justice for the dead, and freedom for the living.Â

Are There Unbelievers Working in Ministry Among You?
Over the course of my life I have witnessed individuals working in ministry or handling ministry work that were not following Jesus, but rather money and other desires of the flesh. Because of this intermingling of believers and unrepentant nonbelievers in the ministry many churches and projects have lost the presence of God in them.
We have all seen other believers start churches or projects with great fervor and humility before The Lord, and over time become lacking in devotion to righteousness and purity of heart. They see the money come in and start to rely on it instead of God to sustain the ministry momentum. They start hiring musicians to lead praise and worship services that are not necessarily believers but rather need a job. Camera operators filming sermons or Christian content that are living lives of sexual immorality or the sexually active unmarried.
We have some preachers that are not actually christian people teaching from church pulpits and social media platforms for tax deductions or to make money in general. We have others mixing new age doctrine like the âlaw of attractionâ with biblical doctrine, while others preach the promises of God to those who practice righteousness to those that walk in unrighteousness.
We have those that are Christians making excuses for hiring such people because they do not see their own work as a ministry of sorts, and therefore allow anyone to participate in the work. There are even gay churches, churches that marry same sex couples, and some that allow drag queens to come and put on performances at their churches in order to get them in their congregations. This is where we are now as the modern day Church.
These things should never happen!
So many times we are told in the letters of the apostles not to fellowship with those who say they are believers, but continue to speak perversely or conduct lives that are fulfilling the desires of the flesh. We are also told by Jesus in Revelation that we should not tolerate sexual immorality or idolatry in our gatherings. We are also told by Him that if we are lukewarm He will spit us out of His mouth. In addition to these things we are told through scripture that sin separates us from God and that God does not hear the prayers of unrepentant sinners.
If you have a person that serves money or their desires of the flesh in your ministry, or in christian projects, the presence of God will leave. For such people hinder the move of the Spirit of God. We must remove such individuals from our ministries, Christian projects, or social media projects like videos, blogs, and general accounts. These individuals may never be seen by those the work is being made for, but God sees them and their hearts and their fellowship with you in ministry will not benefit you or the ministry but will destroy it in the end.
Do not be one of the wise virgins that gave into the foolish virgins request for your lamp oil. Sharing your righteousness with the unrighteous will defile your own righteousness, and leave you in a lacking state. Hold fast to what you have been given. Do not be foolish with it. Strive to keep it clean and holy.
When you sense a ministry has lost the presence of God do not continue with that ministry or project. For you may not see what is going on, but God does. Trust Him and move on to the place you fell His presence at. Follow His glory cloud or pillar of fire as Israel did in the wilderness.
Lastly, above everything, do not rely on others to teach or influence you. Read the Bible yourself, and pray several times a day. Believe what the Bible says from cover to cover. From âIn the beginning God created the heavens and the earthâ to âThe grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen.â None of it is false, fantasy, or a myth of an ancient people.
