Bibi & Hamas — Only Winners in Gaza War

Guest Post by Pat Buchanan

Bibi & Hamas -- Only Winners in Gaza War

President Donald Trump’s Abraham Accords, in which the UAE, Bahrain, Morocco and Sudan established relations with Israel, appear now to be on hold. For, on Sunday, a statement by the 57-nation Organization of Islamic Cooperation called for an immediate halt to what it described as Israel’s barbaric attacks on Gaza and blamed “systematic crimes” against the Palestinians for the fighting which has lasted for a week.

“Israel is Winning Battles, Hamas is Winning the War.”

So ran the headline in the Jerusalem Post atop an analysis of the Gaza war, which began, “The IDF is registering great achievements in Operation Guardian of the Walls, but meanwhile the house appears to be collapsing from within.”

Hard to disagree.

Consider this New York Times commentary about Israel’s prime minister from the runner-up to the Democratic presidential nominee in the primaries of 2016 and 2020, Sen. Bernie Sanders:

“Mr. Netanyahu has cultivated an increasingly intolerant and authoritarian type of racist nationalism …(and) legitimized these forces … by bringing them into the government. … Racist mobs that attack Palestinians on the streets of Jerusalem now have representation in its Knesset.”

Sanders’ wing of the party is moving toward the Palestinian side of the conflict. “Israeli air strikes killing civilians in Gaza is an act of terrorism,” says Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.

Tweets Michigan’s Rep. Rashida Tlaib: “Israel targeting media sources is so the world can’t see Israel’s war crimes led by the apartheid-in-chief Netanyahu. It’s so the world can’t see the killing of babies, children and their parents. It’s so the world can’t see Palestinians being massacred.”

Wisconsin Rep. Mark Pocan concurs: “We cannot just condemn rockets fired by Hamas and ignore Israel’s state-sanctioned police violence against Palestinians — including unlawful evictions, violent attacks on protestors & the murder of Palestinian children … US aid should not be funding this violence.”

While Israeli attacks are killing Hamas commanders and destroying the sites from which Hamas has fired 3,000 rockets, Israel is suffering serious and intangible losses.

Palestinians in Jerusalem and on the West Bank have risen in solidarity with Arabs and Muslims in Gaza. A dozen were slain last week.

Arab citizens of Israel are daily fighting Jews in cities like Jaffa, Acre and Lod. Writes the Post: “With riots shaking all parts of Israel,” the country “is being torn apart from within.”

Beyond Gaza, Jerusalem, the West Bank and Israel, Lebanese and Jordanians are protesting on the border. In U.S. and European cities like Berlin, London, Paris and Madrid, protesters numbering in the thousands and tens of thousands are marching in solidarity with the Palestinians and condemnation of Israel as a racist and an “apartheid” regime.

Saturday’s morning attack that brought down Gaza’s 12-story tower that housed the Associated Press and Al Jazeera caused a backlash in much of Western media against Israel, which claims the building contained an Hamas intelligence center and was a legitimate target.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and President Joe Biden have come out in defense of Israel’s right to attack sites from which rockets are being fired into Israel. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, however, has been more muted in backing Israel’s attacks on Gaza.

The GOP seems more solidly behind Israel. More than three dozen Senate Republicans last week urged Biden to “unequivocally” support Israel’s right to defend itself and to “immediately” end negotiations with Iran on sanctions relief, charging Tehran with supporting terrorist activity by Hamas against Israel.

In a letter to Biden, 44 Republican senators wrote:

“Over the past couple days, Palestinian terrorists in Gaza, who are funded by Iran, have launched a series of rocket attacks into Israel. They are targeting Israeli civilians and cities, including Israel’s capital Jerusalem.”

Where Israel goes from here, however, is currently unclear.

President Donald Trump’s Abraham Accords, in which the UAE, Bahrain, Morocco and Sudan established relations with Israel, appear now to be on hold.

For, on Sunday, a statement by the 57-nation Organization of Islamic Cooperation called for an immediate halt to what it described as Israel’s barbaric attacks on Gaza and blamed “systematic crimes” against the Palestinians for the fighting which has lasted for a week.

The OIC statement came after a virtual meeting in which Saudi Arabia condemned Israel’s violation of the sanctity of Muslim holy sites and evictions of Palestinians from their homes in East Jerusalem.

Clearly, the principal winner from this conflict is Bibi Netanyahu, who was within days of being replaced as prime minister by an opposition coalition when fighting erupted. He is now seen by Israelis as a decisive war leader, defending the country from thousands of rockets and severely pushing the enemies firing those rockets.

As for the two-state solution to which the world has been committed for decades, that prospect seems further from reality than ever.

Having seen what Hamas is capable of and willing to do, what Israeli will be eager to enter a peace agreement with the Palestinians that would mean vacating much of the West Bank, sharing Jerusalem as the capital of both countries, and a Palestinian right of return to lands from which their families were driven in the 1948-1949 Israeli War of Independence, which Palestinians remember as the Nakba, or catastrophe.

A military truce may be at hand, but that is all it will be — a truce before the next round of fighting.

When terrorists fire missiles into populated urban areas and then hide amongst densely populated civilian areas a whole lot of non-combatants are going to get hurt and killed rooting them out.

I believe they are not just hiding in densely populated areas but are firing their rockets toward Israel from within those civilian targets and zones. Either the civilians around them are hostage or they are complicit; either way seems to indicate a disregard for civilian life by the Palestinians deliberately drawing the superior firepower of Israel onto their own people.

I suppose they consider themselves to be martyrs for the purpose of Allah, which is to destroy the Jew.

Even Ghandhi struggled with the Jewish Question.
https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/lsquo-the-jews-rsquo-by-gandhi

https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/lsquo-the-jews-rsquo-by-gandhi
“Several letters have been received by me asking me to declare my views about the Arab-Jew question in Palestine and the persecution of the Jews in Germany. It is not without hesitation that I venture to offer my views on this very difficult question.

My sympathies are all with the Jews. I have known them intimately in South Africa. Some of them became life-long companions. Through these friends I came to learn much of their age-long persecution. They have been the untouchables of Christianity. The parallel between their treatment by Christians and the treatment of untouchables by Hindus is very close. Religious sanction has been invoked in both cases for the justification of the inhuman treatment meted out to them. Apart from the friendships, therefore, there is the more common universal reason for my sympathy for the Jews.

But my sympathy does not blind me to the requirements of justice. The cry for the national home for the Jews does not make much appeal to me. The sanction for it is sought in the Bible and the tenacity with which the Jews have hankered after return to Palestine. Why should they not, like other peoples of the earth, make that country their home where they are born and where they earn their livelihood?

Palestine belongs to the Arabs in the same sense that England belongs to the English or France to the French. It is wrong and inhuman to impose the Jews on the Arabs. What is going on in Palestine today cannot be justified by any moral code of conduct. The mandates have no sanction but that of the last war. Surely it would be a crime against humanity to reduce the proud Arabs so that Palestine can be restored to the Jews partly or wholly as their national home.

The nobler course would be to insist on a just treatment of the Jews wherever they are born and bred. The Jews born in France are French. If the Jews have no home but Palestine, will they relish the idea of being forced to leave the other parts of the world in which they are settled? Or do they want a double home where they can remain at will? This cry for the national home affords a colourable justification for the German expulsion of the Jews.


Let the Jews who claim to be the chosen race prove their title by choosing the way of non-violence for vindicating their position on earth. Every country is their home including Palestine not by aggression but by loving service. A Jewish friend has sent me a book called The Jewish Contribution to Civilisation by Cecil Roth. It gives a record of what the Jews have done to enrich the world`s literature, art, music, drama, science, medicine, agriculture, etc. Given the will, the Jew can refuse to be treated as the outcaste of the West, to be despised or patronised. He can command the attention and respect of the world by being man, the chosen creation of God, instead of being man who is fast sinking to the brute and forsaken by God. They can add to their many contributions the surpassing contribution of non-violent action.”

Segaon, November 20, 1938

Edited: to shorten Ghandi’s letter.. it really is worth a full read because he really does address the fact that it was also the home to all of Palestine.

Now, whomever downvoted me downvoted Ghandi. I think you end up reincarnated as a pig for that.

Like everyone else the Jewish people are an imperfect people. That is why they have been in Jehovah’s penalty box for the last two millennial.
A remnant will be hidden away during the 70th Week of Daniel and turn toward God at the second coming of Jesus proclaiming blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord fulfilling Hoses 6:1&2.

He did not give that land to Jewish Edomites and Kenites who currently occupy Israel and control all organized Jewry through Babylonian Witchcraft known as Judaism. He gave it to Hebrew Israelites who were sons of Jacob and Joseph.
Palestinians are mostly Hebrew Shemites and many are Christians. Jews are mostly not Hebrew and hate Muslims and Christians with equal zeal.

It’s well known that Hamas uses people as human shields. That’s why they were running their intel ops in the same building as Al-Jeezera and AP. Apparently, the press is protected by international law and targeting them is a war crime. So Hamas exploited this loophole and I’m pretty sure the building owner and media groups in the building were fully complicit in allowing Hamas to be in the building. Fake news is literally the enemy of the people.

The House of Representatives passed a bipartisan bill on Monday that would enact sanctions on those who use human shields in war.

The Senate unanimously passed its version, co-introduced by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) in October. The bill now goes to U.S. President Donald Trump to sign it into law.

Introduced by Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.) and Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-N.Y.), and co-sponsored by 25 representatives, the Sanctioning the Use of Civilians as Defenseless Shields Act, also known as the STOP Using Human Shields Act, officially condemns the U.S.-designated terrorist group Hezbollah’s use of human shields “as a gross violation of internationally recognized human rights.”

The bill mandates that the president impose sanctions on any entity that “knowingly and materially supports, orders, controls, directs or otherwise engages in” the exercise of human shields by the terrorist organizations Hezbollah and Hamas.

Of course Hamas was occupying the same building and probably using the same communication lines, if not embedding messages to their agents afield. There are many reasons the parrot media parrot the same lame news phrases. They are told to say those phrases in phoenetic language on cue cards or prompters.

So, the question then is really whether Israel has a right to try to stop those missiles being fired from hospitals or schools or office buildings with missiles prefaced with warnings, presumably. (I believe they do fire warning shots).

I guess I was not asking if they had a “legal” right but if they were justified, considering Hamas does more damage to their own people sometimes than to Israel.

Bibi would argue that is not the point. He would argue that you cannot stop someone who has sworn to kill you only a little bit. You have to stop them.

And, on the other hand, Gandhi was correct in 1938 and no one listened to him either.

The greater question should be why now? Pay attention to the politics of Netanyahu. He was going down and going down hard. Suddenly rockets red flares and then, voila, Netanyahu is a hero, a hardliner for Israel.
There are false fluttering away here, very convenient false flags.

Then you have this….

“Twenty-four people, including nine children, were killed in Gaza overnight, most of them in Israeli strikes,” AP reported Tuesday.

The Monday night airstrikes were in response to rocket attacks by Gaza resistance groups which had reportedly injured six Israelis, and those rocket attacks were in turn were a response to a deluge of Israeli police brutality footage in Jerusalem in preceding days. Electronic Intifada reports:

“This came at the end of a day of violence that began in occupied East Jerusalem, where Israeli forces assaulted worshippers at the al-Aqsa mosque compound, injuring hundreds.

Scenes of brutality in Jerusalem generated outrage and solidarity among Palestinians and around the world.

The military wing of the Palestinian resistance organization Hamas issued an ultimatum giving Israel an hour – until 6 pm local time – to withdraw its forces from al-Aqsa and the occupied East Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah, and free detainees.

When the deadline passed, resistance groups in Gaza fired volleys of rockets towards Jerusalem for the first time since the summer 2014 war, prompting celebrations from some Palestinians.”

The New York Post falsely reported that the deaths on Monday were caused by “Airstrikes from Hamas militants” (when did Hamas get an air force?) when sharing an article which falsely implied that those fatalities were inflicted by both sides. DW News framed its headline in a way that suggested the nine children killed had been involved in “fighting” against Israeli forces, and the word “clashes” is being thrown about willy nilly to describe a very one-sided assault. But it isn’t working.

If Israeli’s kill children it’s ok? If Americans use depleted uranium weapons is that ok too? How about when Israelis use it?
Do you approve of Biden’s recent selling of almost a billion dollars of weapons to Isreal right before the Gaza bombing commenced? Are you aware of the criminal charges that were facing Netanyahu? Do you find this ‘war’ on Hamas oddly convenient for Netanyahu’s situation?

Please, enlighten us with your commentary…oh, unlike you, I do include references…

“Agribusiness giant Monsanto – best known for their genetically modified soybeans and “probably carcinogenic” herbicide – has supplied the US government with white phosphorous used in incendiary weapons for at least 20 years, and some of that made its way to Israel for use in Operation Cast Lead.”

Bibi and Hamas need each other in this end-sum Hegelian dialectic. Because both sides require the blood of innocents to be splashed on the ground at the end of the day. This process salts the earth and radicalizes each others base. This ends up making any compromise an impossibility in that place.

So the Jews provoke the Palestinians or the Palestinians provoke the Jewish State. Both sides point fingers at each other as to who’s to blame. Israel pretends to be a democracy and the Terrorists pretend to lead the PA.

Somehow, one can imagine (strictly imagine, mind) the “domestic terrorists” finding themselves in the position of the Palestinians in a not-too-distant future. Picture it: single-family homes being bulldozed to “build back better” with a Section 8 apartment block; angry mobs of BLM and antifa marching into the suburbs chanting “Kill Whitey” while the polic look the other way; the little girls’ lemonade stand being overturned and the homemade lemonade being poured down the sewer by bull dykes… Now guess which group will be the “Israelis”in that scenario.

I lived in a Muslim country for a few years 40 years ago, so I’m familar with them and because I was so universally well treated, I have a certain sympathy for them. Ten years later, I was working on Wall St. and was able to observe a different group. It changed my mind about that group. Twenty one years ago, I emigrated and am not pleased to see my worst predictions about the future USA being confirmed. What amounts to unconditional support of Israel is a serious societal error.

And now a word to the Jews in Palestine. I have no doubt that they are going about it in the wrong way. The Palestine of the Biblical conception is not a geographical tract. It is in their hearts. But if they must look to the Palestine of geography as their national home, it is wrong to enter it under the shadow of the British gun. A religious act cannot be performed with the aid of the bayonet or the bomb. They can settle in Palestine only by the goodwill of the Arabs. They should seek to convert the Arab heart. The same God rules the Arab heart who rules the Jewish heart. They can offer satyagraha in front of the Arabs and offer themselves to be shot or thrown into the Dead Sea without raising a little finger against them. They will find the world opinion in their favour in their religious aspiration. There are hundreds of ways of reasoning with the Arabs, if they will only discard the help of the British bayonet. As it is, they are co-shares with the British in despoiling a people who have done no wrong to them.

Thoughts on this summary, which I’m watching now, so have not formed opinion.

From anybody, not just Marc.

https://www.facinghistory.org/resource-library/video/ancient-roots-anti-judaism

However, if Mark is around, I couldn’t mind his take on a few observations I made on the USAF base yesterday.
The young soldiers wear masks and move through their tasks with studious intent and blind focus,
From behind a plexiglass shield a masked airman took my picture and gave me a shiny new ID with a chip in it. Bonus. Another card to go in the box.

Things do no look good with the young soldiers. And there are a lot of young women in uniform. A lot of older ones too. Physically fit, I suppose, but not necessarily battle ready, if you know what I mean.

Who visits military bases nearby on a regular basis? What does it look like to you? Does the Commissary seem overstocked and empty of customers?

It goes back at least to Eden as explained in the link below but be warned. It’s a hard saying because it’s the most important topic of the day and won’t be answered by fluffy articles like the link above. The world is on the brink of chaos like has not happened in eons and our lives depend on knowing who the enemy is. Just one hour of plain talk that gets to the bottom of it.

To be fair we’ve only been there for twenty years, it’s not like you can just come up with a defensive plan in a split decade.

I don’t remember ever seeing a soldier that fat the entire time in was in the military. If you put on so much as 10 pounds they’d ship you out to a retraining detachment and you had one chance to get in shape or you were out.

Was this supposed to reassure someone?

He has several on that specific topic but not in any order so you have to look around for them. I was never content with the apple story but really didn’t know what to do about it until I had matured quite a bit and at the same time learned my way around the net a little bit. I think it could be a case of one of Daniels prophesies about information being sealed up until the end.
As for the Iraq video, feeling 500 lb. bombs going off night and day nearby will change you forever. I feel for the kids in Gaza and all over Iraq, Syria, and Libya who survived relentless bombings from above.

Israel Has Become A Very Burning Issue
.
These are the problems that have been dominating humanity for centuries.
In particular in Israel the problem has become a very burning issue, because the whole of the Middle East is Mohammedan.
But Mohammedanism is only fourteen hundred years old.
So before Mohammed was born, Jews had already entered the Arabic world, and they had their own settlements.
Then Christians came and they started making their own settlements.
The problem is this ‘special’ rock, which is said to be the central piece of the great Jewish Temple of Solomon, which was destroyed by the anti-Jewish elements long ago.
Only the rock which was the central piece remains; it is called the ‘Rock of the Dome.’
Now, Jews claim that it is their holy place, because it is the site of their great temple.
And Christians claim that this is the place where Jesus was crucified, so it is their holy place, not Jewish but Christian.
And then comes another contender, and in a very strange way.
Six hundred years after Jesus, Mohammed established a new religion, because the Arabs had no religion of their own.
They were a nomadic race, wanderers, they had no organized religion.
Mohammed collected those Arabs under the name of Mohammedanism.
He himself was an Arab, and naturally had great influence.
For his whole life he was fighting, war upon war, not a single day of rest, and on his sword was his message:
“My message is peace.”
It was written on his sword!
If peace is your message, and certainly he believed that peace was his message, but it had to follow his conditions.
If the whole world becomes Mohammedan there will be peace.
But how is it possible?
Mohammedanism is not the name given by him to his religion.
The name that he has given is Islam, and Islam simply means peace.
A strange kind of peace!
And he left the ultimate problem behind him when he died.
In fact, he never died.
He simply went to heaven alive, and not alone, but sitting on his horse!
And just as he was going towards heaven, sitting on his horse, just to take a little rest he descended on that rock.
He could not find anywhere else to rest.
So now that rock has become the contention of three religions.
Judaism claims it as theirs.
Jews are ready to kill and die for it, millions of Jews have died for it.
Christians have been sending crusades, having religious wars continually, to take possession of the Rock of the Dome.
And the whole area is an ocean of Mohammedans, who claim that this is their holy rock because Mohammed stayed there to take some rest before he left finally, with his horse, towards heaven.
For these fourteen hundred years it has been war almost every day.
Already Jews are one of the races which have suffered most.
Of course, they have their part and their contribution in their suffering.
They have suffered most because they were the first to claim, “We are the chosen people of God, and it is our basic right to rule over the world. Other human beings are inferior human beings.”
Because this idea irritated everybody, without exception, Jews have been continually murdered, persecuted and butchered.
Adolf Hitler alone killed six million Jews, and it goes on.
But the ultimate meanness has been committed by America and England, and even Jews could not understand the strategy.
After the second world war, the American and British forces were in control of Jerusalem, where the rock is, and the small country of Israel which had never before been in existence.
For many centuries Mohammedans had lived there, it was part of the country of Palestine.
But after the second world war, Jerusalem and Palestine were under the control of American and British forces, and America played the ugliest politics that you can conceive.
It created, under an armed force, a new nation for the Jews.
It called the new nation Israel.
Once it had been a land for the Jews, in the days of Moses thousands of years before, but then it was lost to Mohammedans for centuries.
Christians had been trying to recover it yet they could not manage it, and neither were the Jews successful!
Only six percent of the land belonged to the Jews and ninety-four percent of the land belonged to the Mohammedans.
How can you make Israel a sovereign nation for the Jews?
Under pressure of arms they managed to create a new land.
America and Britain conspired to create the Jewish state so that now Jews will be in trouble for eternity.
This is a very sophisticated diplomacy.
And the Jews were happy; they thought that America and England were helping them, that they were favorable to them, that they were giving them the homeland for which they had been hankering for centuries.
Alas, America had killed two birds with one stone.
In America, Jews are among the richest people, so they have great power over the American congress.
They have a lobby of their own, and because politicians depend on contributions from rich people for their elections, they cannot avoid the Jews.
They cannot ignore them, their presence is too important, they have enormous wealth.
So this was a good chance to have their money contributed to American politicians.
The American politicians managed to create the state of Israel for the Jews, but the state was forcibly imposed on the Mohammedans.
Now, Mohammedans obviously cannot tolerate it.
Also, Israel has to purchase war materials from America, and American Jews continuously have to send millions of dollars for the survival of Israel.
In this way, America will finally destroy more Jews than Adolf Hitler, and without any effort, but through a continuous situation that will go on and on for centuries till not a single Jew is left alive in Israel.
And any day the American politicians can pull out their support.
If America really wants to help the Jews, they should be given one of the US states to build a new Israel.
Move the Jews from Israel and give Israel to the Mohammedans, it really belongs to them, it is ugly to keep their land.
Why bother about a rock?
Make a beautiful new Temple of Solomon in America!
The new is always better than the old.
What is happening in Israel between Jews and Arabs is nothing new.
It is happening all over the world, in different names, between Hindus and Mohammedans, between Christians and Jews.
Just the names are different, but the same violence, the same murder, the same suffering.
And people are clinging to their suffering.
As long as there is a God, humanity cannot be at peace.
It is God who is dividing humanity.
He is the ultimate enemy of humanity, otherwise what is the difference between a Hindu and a Mohammedan and a Christian and a Jew?
Just their idea of God.
And that idea is nothing but an idea, just an empty hypothesis.
There is no God anywhere, there is no evidence anywhere, there is no proof.
And if somebody says he has seen God, he is simply a madman.
He is deluded, he has been hallucinating and he needs psychiatric treatment.
If we had treated our saints through psychiatry, humanity would have been in a peaceful state.
Now God is your greatest chain.
Religions are your leg irons.
The idea of sin, the idea of virtue are your handcuffs.
Are you now finally ready to throw away all chains?
Your holy scriptures are dividing you, because every scripture demands that it be the only holy scripture.
When a group says to you that we have found the real answer.
And now you have only to believe in their holy scriptures.
You need to run away and fast.
There are millions of churches, mosques, synagogues, temples, all around the earth and what is the result?
The humanity that you see, the actual reality, the hatred, the violence, the war, this is the humanity that has come out of this whole effort?
It was bound to be so, because we have wasted all these years in sheer stupidity, calling it religion.
We have wasted much time in which humanity could have grown to heights unknown, to depths unfathomable, to the freedom of the spirit, the compassion of the soul, integrity, individuality.
From thousands of years of mass hallucination, what have we got?
This humanity that you see around the world, this mess?
This is the result of thousands of years of religious practices, disciplines, ritual, prayer.
The whole thing is a mere projection of the human mind and it is time that we stopped this game against ourselves.
It is not a question of believing or not believing, there is no one to believe in or not to believe in!
But still we go on and on strengthening, enforcing our imagination and hallucinations.
And what have we got out of it?
First you create a problem, then you go in search of a solution.
Just watch why you are creating the problem, just exactly in the beginning, when you are creating the problem, is the solution, don’t create it!
Freedom consists in a single thing, and that is your awareness.
Act out of awareness and you will be acting out of freedom, and without interfering in somebody else’s freedom.
Freedom knows how to respect others’ freedom.
You don’t have to do anything to attain freedom.
It is already there within you.
Just drop the chains.
And those chains are such that you have started loving them.
You have become accustomed to them.
It will be a little painful to depart from your miseries, a little painful to depart from your old sufferings, familiar friends, and enter into a new area of freedom, awareness.
But except that, there is no hope for humanity.
All that is needed is just a little intelligence.
You have been deprived even of that.
This very moment you can drop all problems because most are not even your creations.
Have another look at your problems.
The deeper you look, the smaller they will appear.
Go on looking at them and by and by they will start disappearing.
Go on gazing and suddenly you will find in this moment there is emptiness, a beautiful emptiness surrounds you.
Enlightenment is not something to be achieved, it is just to be lived, to be realized in this moment.
Nothing to do, nothing to be, because you are already that.
It is a decision that now you are finished with all this nonsense of creating problems and finding solutions.
If your own problems are not enough, you start thinking about humanity and the world and the future, socialism, communism, woke-ism and all that rubbish.
You start thinking about it as if the whole world depends on your advice.
Then you think.
What is going to happen in Israel?

IT ALL STARTED WITH AN ISRAELI SETTLER STEALING AND OPENLY CLAIMING TO STEAL THE LAND OF A PALESTINIAN

The quote of the Israeli on “If I do not steal…………..” is a lift from the Sanhedrin Talmud.The Philosophy is that Goyim and Gentiles are inept (which may be be true) and undeserving of any serious possessions (and this is NOT a ethical or righteous stand) – and so,it is BETTER,that wealth be in the hands of the Israelis !

So the Settler,is merely following the Talmud – which SUPERSEDES TORAH and the HEBREW BIBLE,as under:

Baba Mezia 24a . If a Jew finds an object lost by a gentile (“heathen”) it does not have to be returned. (Affirmed also in Baba Kamma 113b).
Sanhedrin 57a. What a Jew steals from a gentile he may keep.(MY INTERPRETATION – But the Jew MIGHT make a compensation !)
Baba Kamma 37b. The gentiles are outside the protection of the law and God has “exposed their money to Israel.”

And the same applies to the Israeli gobbling of Palestine – as Israel is the name of Jacob,the son of Isaac !

“Your name shall no longer be Jacob, but Israel since you have striven with god and men and have prevailed” (Genesis – 32:29).

Israel Gobbling Palestine by deception and treachery,is all a part of the lineage of Jacob,who cheated Esau and His father Isaac ! This is Isaac the son of
ABRAHAM the PROPHET ! But as per Maimonides,this was NOT a Cheating – as Yaweh had PROMISED Jacob’s mother that he would be the successor,and Isaac TRIED TO BREAK THAT COVENANT

Hence,the THEFT of Jacob was justified,and so is the Israeli occupation as – BENJY IS FULFILING THE PROPHECY MADE BY YAWEH to REBECCA (the mother of Jacob !)

The Israelis do NOT CARE for what the world THINKS – as they view the opinions of the world,as that of ESAU (the twin of Jacob)

Mr Esau said that JACOB was RIGHTLY named JACOB,as he was a CHEAT ! (God Bless !)

Esau said, “Is he not rightly named Jacob? For he has cheated me these two times. He took away my birthright, and behold, now he has taken away my blessing” (Genesis 27:36).

Y Israelis care a CAHOOT for the world – is that ,as per Genesis – Yaweh also came to JACOB, and promised him success and glory (AFTER HE CHEATED HIS FATHER AND BROTHER),and that the whole world will bow to his lineage (which is the state of the Jews today – so the Jews of Israel,see it as fulfiling that prophecy !)

TREACHERY AGAINST THE JEWS,is something that Jews accept, as passe.Jacob who CHEATED his father and his brother – was ALSO CHEATED by his uncle,TO MARRY A WOMAN,who he was NOT to marry – and it was from this CHEATED MARRIAGE,with LEAH – that was lineaged 12 sons,and the 12 TRIBES OF ISRAEL !

SO THE CONCEPTION OF ISRAEL,IS BY SUBTERFUGE,AND TAKING THE RIGHTS AND PROPERTIES,OF GOYIM AND GENTILES – IS A VALID RIGHT BESTOWED ON THE JEWS,BY EXPLICIT INSTRUCTION (BY YAWEH), DEDUCTIVE INFERENCE (FROM GENESIS) AND DECONTRUCTED DIALECTICS (FROM THE TAKMUD).This EXPLAINS THE MINDSET of the Israelis !

That is Y Maimonides calls Jacob or ISRAEL,the NOBLE DECEIVER – as HE as BLESSED BY YAWEH – just as the transgressions of Israel today – which GETS AWAY,EVERY TIME !

UN protocols mean garbage to Israel – as Rebecca COERCED and TRAINED Jacob,to CHEAT ISAACC (the PROPHET) – BUT ALL FOR A GOOD CAUSE – AS REBECCA WAS FULFILING THE PROPHECY OF YAWEH,TO REBECCA,WHEN THE TWINS WERE INSIDE HER ! SO ALL THAT ISRAEL DOES IN INTERNATIONAL LAW – MEANS NOTHING – AS THEY ARE DOING ALL,AS PER THE PROPHECY OF YAWEH TO REBECCA, ON THE DIVINE SUPREMACY,OF THE JEWS AND ISRAEL !

GENESIS HAS COVERED ALL THE THEFT OF JACOB,IN MAGICAL SYMMETRY,BY WORDS FROM YAWEH (IN PERSON) – BLESSING JACOB TWICE.

SUCH PERFECTION IN THEOLOGICAL SYMMETRY AND LOGIC.dindooohindoo

It APPEARS TO BE WRITTEN IN HINDSIGHT !
