#operation al aqsa

[at-the-end-of-days]

It all goes back to the Temple Mount.

So I didn’t realize this until today, but everything Hamas is doing, from the initial attack of 5,000 missiles onwards… it was named after the mosque on the Temple Mount.

“Also known as 'Al-Aqsa Flood', Operation 'Al-Aqsa Storm' is a military operation led by was a surprise attack on Israel by Hamas on October 7, 2023. The attack involved firing thousands of rockets at occupied territories, including enemy positions, airports, and military positions.”

They could have named it ANYTHING.

Operation Freedom, Operation Get Our Land Back, Gaza Storm, Hamas Flood. But they didn’t. They named the attack after the mosque on the Temple Mount. Which, while not the holiest site in Islam, is the third.

Now, I made a post a while back that it was my personal opinion that the matters of Revelations couldn’t begin until the Desolation at the Temple. What is that, who knows, even the son of Gd didn’t really specify.

Mark 13:14, King James Version

But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:

And then it goes into the whole bit which has been previously posted about how you shouldn’t grab a thing, you should run. Don’t get a coat, run.

My assumption was that … well, it would be nuclear, if not something else. Something… awful. But nuclear made the most sense, at least to me. You wouldn’t grab a coat in a nuclear blast.

And it was my opinion that this desolation wouldn’t take place until the red heifers were ready for slaughter, solely because then Israel would have a pointed reason to make a move on the Temple Mount.

Not that they have left that mosque alone as it is.

The most recent issue.

And honestly the take away from the article:

“The Al-Aqsa Mosque is under the administration of the Jordan-affiliated Islamic Waqf. While non-Muslims are allowed to visit, they are not permitted to worship under a long-standing status quo agreement.

However, attacks by far-right groups advocating for Jewish control and over Al-Aqsa have been ongoing for years.

In recent months, radical Israeli settlers have increasingly been storming the mosque under the protection of Israeli security forces. Hamas said that its attack on Israel was motivated by the settler provocations.”

And if not storming the mosque, Israel has acted in other ways.

Such as saying that they need to be in the area for archaeological reasons.

https://new.thecradle.co/articles/israeli-excavation-under-al-aqsa-accelerates-with-intensity-report#:~:text=For%20several%20decades%2C%20Israel%20has,to%20the%20land%20of%20Palestine.

“For several decades, Israel has been excavating under the Al-Aqsa Mosque as part of a vague, historically motivated search for 'Solomon's Temple. ' These excavations represent Israel's attempt to justify the occupation through archeology, by which Israelis claim they can trace their heritage to the land of Palestine.”

I mean, look at how this place is divided up.

So what happens now?

If you’ve been watching the news, there’s been a lot of talk about a physical invasion into Gaza. But despite the operation being named for the mosque itself? I haven’t seen - doesn’t mean it hasn’t happened or doesn’t exist - any articles or news stories about Israel using this time to act against the mosque. Or Hamas attacking the mosque.

And frankly? That would be.. idiotic.

Why? Because if Israel does anything to the mosque at this point, it’s inviting Iran and other Muslim nations to fully turn against them (ignoring Iran lighting fireworks, and getting US military plans that went from Trump, to Putin, to Iran, no doubt aiding in attack plans against Israel). And this, when Israel was trying to make peace with Saudi Arabia.

This would be the worst time for them to move.

Now, someone else may see this, and make a move on the Temple Mount, pinning the blame on Israel.

I don’t know. No one knows for certain. Even the son of Gd didn’t know exactly when this would happen, and he wasn’t very descriptive. But then, how does one two thousand years ago, describe any of these things that have come to pass? Or will come?

Mark 13, New International Version:

14 “When you see ‘the abomination that causes desolation’[a] standing where it[b] does not belong—let the reader understand—then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 15 Let no one on the housetop go down or enter the house to take anything out. 16 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 17 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 18 Pray that this will not take place in winter, 19 because those will be days of distress unequaled from the beginning, when God created the world, until now—and never to be equaled again.

Now I have quoted Zechariah and Ezekiel, but as a Christian whose holy book is the Bible… the timeline seems.. uncertain at best. Just that some things have to happen before we get into the worst of it all.

Famines and earthquakes are here. Famines will get worse. War is at the doorstep of every home.

Atrocities, in Ukraine, in Gaza, in Israel.

Whispers, across Europe, America, Australia. Preppers, the paranoid, the children of the Lord see this. And it is ignored by those that can afford to ignore it.

With any luck? The mosque will stay standing. It will not be attacked, it will not be desecrated. Lives will not be lost, and no earthquake will fall over Israel to show that this is the last act before the end of days.

And I don’t mean that sarcastically, given the name of my blog.

But this attack was named FOR the mosque atop the Temple Mount. Why?

Just over a year ago, the entire world woke up to news of a massacre.

We all know the horrid tale. Waves of gunmen—some on paragliders, others on motorcycles—attacked families at kibbutzim and young people attending a music festival. The marauders filmed their murders on GoPro cameras. They burned families alive in their safe rooms, raped and mutilated their victims, and took hostages back to Gaza on golf carts. 

Why did they do it? 

This is how Al Jazeera journalist Marc Lamont Hill ascribed the motivation: “Before October 7, the people of Gaza didn’t have one minute of self-determination.” Never mind that Israel pulled out of the territory in 2005. Hill calls this fact “a right-wing lie that we’ve got to dissect with the truth, which is that for a hundred years there’s been a settler colonial project.”

For progressives, October 7 was a jailbreak from an open-air prison. 

But for the belligerents, it was Operation Al-Aqsa Flood: an act of jihad, or holy war. 

That’s what Hamas said shortly afterward, anyway. On October 10, they released a communiqué, which explained that the purpose of this massacre was “to bolster the steadfastness of the Palestinian people in the face of the open aggression of the occupation, thwart its schemes and dreams of Judaizing Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa, and achieve victory for the just cause of our Palestinian people and our struggle for the liberation of our land, prisoners, and sanctities.” 

It’s worth lingering on that phrase, “Judaizing Jerusalem and al-Aqsa.”

Because it reveals something very important about the Israel-Palestine conflict: that much of this is not about a country; it is about an ancient city. The world knows it as Jerusalem. The Palestinians call it Al-Quds. In the middle of this city is a large hill known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as Haram al-Sharif, or noble sanctuary. Here, there are two great mosques: Dome of the Rock and Al-Aqsa. This, Muslims believe, is where the prophet Muhammad ascended to heaven in a dream.

And if you listen to Hamas, they’ll tell you that there is a plot by the Jews to destroy Al-Aqsa and build a third Jewish Temple where it now stands. 

That is a lie.

It’s been 57 years since Israel won the territory in the Six-Day War—plenty of time to Judaize Temple Mount. And though there are a few on the fringe of Israeli politics who speak fanatically about the desire to build a third temple, every government since Jerusalem was reunified has entrusted the mosques on top of the mountain to the guardianship of a Jordanian religious agency known as the Waqf.

Muslims, not Jews, remain the custodians of Al-Aqsa. 

But it’s worth understanding where this lie came from.

Palestinian nationalism has taken many forms over the past century, from Maoism to Islamism, but this one theme persists: Jews have no place in their ancestral homeland, and they threaten the third holiest site in Islam. You hear it over and over again in the history of Palestinian revolts. And it stems directly from one man.

Born in 1895 to one of Jerusalem’s great families, he could trace his lineage back to the prophet Muhammad himself. He was a seminary school dropout, an antisemite, and a Nazi collaborator—and the first leader of Palestine. His name was Haj Amin al-Husseini. And while Palestinians today are embarrassed by his legacy, it’s a legacy that explains many of the pathologies that still afflict their leaders—from the celebration of spectacular violence to the rejection of compromise.

The story begins in 1920, just three years after the British adopted the Balfour Declaration, by which the empire promised to facilitate the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people.

The British became the protectorate of Palestine in 1920, but they did not conquer or covet the land; it had been entrusted to the empire through the League of Nations. Before the British Mandate, Palestine had belonged to the Ottoman Empire, which collapsed after World War I. There had never been a Palestinian state as such.

But there had been Arab nationalism—both as a backlash against the Ottoman empire, and as a movement based on shared language, culture, and geography, according to Hussein Ibish, a senior resident scholar at the Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington.

And the first birth pangs of a Palestinian national movement began as a rejection of the Balfour Declaration—and specifically, the Zionist Jews returning to Palestine to create a Jewish state. It’s at this volatile moment that a young Haj Amin al-Husseini came onto the scene.

On April 4, 1920—which, in the Christian calendar, was Easter Sunday—Jerusalem’s Muslims were celebrating the festival of Nabi Musa, which involves marching to the tomb of Moses near Jericho.

A crowd chanted: “Palestine is our land and the Jews are our dogs.” 

Al-Husseini, who was only 23 years old at the time, stood on a balcony in the Old City, held up a photograph of King Faisal of Syria, and shouted: “This is your king.”

King Faisal was one of the first independent Arab leaders to emerge after World War I, and at the time, many Palestinians considered the territory to be southern Syria.

The crowd then descended on the Jewish quarter of the old city, bearing knives and clubs. In the ensuing pogrom, five Jews and four Arabs were killed. All told, 211 Jews and 33 Arabs were wounded in the riots.

i haven't seen anybody post it here yet so i wanted to share this. a couple days ago the hamas media office released a 16-page memorandum about the october 7 operation called "our narrative... operation al-aqsa flood". it's a really valuable source of information and should be required reading for everyone. the palestine chronicle summarizes it, but please read the entire document, it's very important.

Correlations b/w Pearl Harbor, 9/11 and Current Israel/Palestine Conflicts

I kept getting messages on how the recent event in Israel ties into the bigger picture. To be honest, how this event is unfolding is very much energetically tied to a “Pearl Harbor” level incident that may well escalate into what transpired after the 9/11 attacks. Also, not forgetting that the current transit VenusStar Point (VSP) in Leo is also around those degrees in square also to Uranus in…

🇵🇸 From Friend of Al-Aqsa (FOA):

What exactly is Coca Cola’s role in Israel's occupation? Coca-Cola has a factory in Atarot, an illegal Israeli settlement built on stolen Palestinian land. Palestinian communities are forcibly removed for illegal Israeli settlements like this to be built. These settlements are illegal under international law. By having an Israeli franchise in the illegal Israeli settlement of Atarot, Coca-Cola is ignoring international law and profiting from the illegal occupation. There are currently up to 750,000 Israeli settlers living in at least 250 illegal Israeli settlements across the occupied West Bank and East Jeruasalem. By drinking Coca-Cola, we as consumers are turning a blind eye to the illegal occupation of Palestine. In 2022 American food company General Mills announced it was divesting from Atarot as a direct result of pressure from human rights groups, activists and others. Let's keep up the pressure on Coca-Cola to stop operating in Atarot! Join our call to #BoycottCocaCola until it stops operating in Atarot illegal Israeli settlement. Make a pledge to boycott Coca-Cola until it stops operating on stolen Palestinian land.

max blumenthal & others: about oct 7th, the "hannibal directive", and some israeli forces targeting israeli civilians

“For all the sensationalism surrounding the events of Oct. 7, when Hamas broke through the Gaza fence and seized territory in the Gaza Envelope as part of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, there is still much that we do not know. The official Israeli death toll from the attack is estimated at 1,200 civilians, revised from an initial estimate of 1,400. Among this figure are several hundred civilians, which…

Berlin announced on 23 April that it will resume cooperation with the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) in Gaza. Germany’s move came after an independent investigation headed by former French diplomat Catherine Colonna that found “neutrality-related issues” in implementing UNRWA’s procedures to “ensure compliance with the humanitarian principles of neutrality.” Colonna’s report made note that Israel provided no proof of whether UNRWA staff were involved with the Palestinian resistance’s Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on 7 October. “The German government has dealt intensively with the allegations made by Israel against UNRWA and has been in close contact with the Israeli government, the United Nations, and other international donors,” a joint statement by the German Foreign Office and the Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development read. The former French diplomat’s investigation proposed reforms to UNRWA to increase the neutrality of staff and behavior, education, and governance, including methods to achieve these goals through engagement with donors. Germany pushed UNRWA to implement these recommendations, strengthen its internal audit functions, and improve the external surveillance of project management. “In support of these reforms, the German government will soon continue its cooperation with UNRWA in Gaza, as Australia, Canada, Sweden, and Japan, among others, have already done so,” the joint statement continued. Germany gave the UN agency over $200 million in 2023 and is the organization’s second-largest donor after the US. In an interview with Al-Jazeera, UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini said the attacks on the agency “have nothing to do with neutrality issues but in reality, they are motivated by the objective to strip the Palestinians from the refugee status.”

So, I wrote a post about Afghan women under the Taliban a few days ago, a post that wasn't about or mentioned Israel or Palestine in any remote fashion, so predictably some daft shit calling themselves "Hamas's weakest soldier" piped up in the comments "OP's a zionist and supports genocide, blah blah blah" 🙄

And predictably, their header post was praising "Operation Al-Aqsa Flood" - I don't think I'm the one supporting genocide in this scenario, you shit stain on the arse of humanity.
