EXTREME ALERT!
Israel sounds an “EXTREME ALERT” alarm as soon as incoming missiles or drones are detected, giving most time to get to a safe place, but it’s not always enough. And yet, while Israel is trying to destroy armaments and eliminate those who give the orders, the enemy is aiming at civilians: men, women and children. There are NO really safe places, as the enemy dares to strike homes, hospitals, and schools, as well as military targets.
Human history has been written from its beginning by a Pen dipped in Blood. So, today, when the alarms sound, we run to our shelters without delay. Even so, each time there are people who have died or been injured. These numbers grow daily, but numbers don’t show the suffering or pain; they only show the extent of our national shared sorrow. No one is alone. Continuously, in every generation over the long reach of human history, we live as a people. We suffer as a people, and history is often written in Jewish blood. WHY?
EXTREME ALERT: Night after night Israelis must drag their children from their beds and take them to a bomb shelter. Invalids must find a safe corner… if they can. Then the unfortunate few will find their beds and their homes obliterated by a devastating bomb, the rest will return but remain alert, on edge, prepared for the next run for safety.
CEASEFIRE? The word is a calming sound filling the air it's spoken into but, like a piece of paper crowding the edge of the flames, it can burst into fire and smoke in an instant. In almost all wars of the Middle East, ‘cease’fire agreements mollify the peacemakers while changing absolutely nothing. The aggressor determines how and when he will ignore it, and when the victim responds, international reprimands are "equally applied".
Does this sound like a children's playground game? It is. But it is deadly. For millions, history is again written with a Pen dipped in Blood.
For the people of Israel, the world is permeated again and again by the blood-lust of those who would physically eliminate the People of Israel, the Jews. Though “they” have never succeeded, "they" continue to try. Who "they" are changes with the ages, but the target never changes. It seems to be an integral part of human existence repeatedly engraved on the tombs of history. You don’t have to be a historian to see it because in each generation, the hatred, once ignited, is visceral -- from the ages before and generations since the re-establishment of the State of Israel. With a Jewish population relatively small and scattered among the countries of the world, it begs the question: WHY?
Just as someone must always find the excuse that ignites the fire, so the moment Israelis began to return to their ancestral land became that excuse and the fire continues to burn ever more fiercely: The elimination of this ancient people has become a consuming passion even for people who have never met a Jewish person. It has never made sense, and it is not the fuel of logic that feeds the consuming flames. So... WHY?
It is notable, however, that over the ages, the most vicious of wars have been fought in the name of idols, gods, and religious practices -- yet while divided against one another, these same haters are often viciously united in the hatred of the Jew. WHY?
SO today, take note: This war may begin with a battle to destroy Israel, but it is not only hatred of a country, it is not about industry or wealth, land or power: it is a jealous, baseless hatred of “the other”.
In spite of claims to the contrary, the wealthiest people in the world are not Jewish. The most powerful political leaders in the world are not Jewish. If there is one place the Jewish people stand out in numbers and achievement, it is in the benefits they have enabled in the fields of medicine, education, and support of the weaker members of society. If anyone unbiased diligently seeks the truth, researches history and science, this will be obvious, but these days, who has time to seek truth? It's easier to believe whoever shouts the loudest, or has the best TV show and, incidentally, it's easiest to follow whoever has more fame, and safer to stand with whoever carries the bigger stick.
Now, the Pen of History is once again being dipped in Blood and the Jews (first and foremost the Israelis) are at the top of the list. Now, having the will and ways to defend themselves, will the outcome, the end of the story really be the end? Yes or No, the question remains: WHY?
A note of caution for all: The Ayatollah doesn’t hesitate to say publicly that the Christians, first and foremost in the USA, a so-called Christian nation, are next in line. It has always been so. Even in pre-Islamic history, peoples and religions (Christianity and idolatry) have united against the Jews, the Hebrews. But over the centuries since Islam gained power, Islamic leaders have needed and been able to influence Christians to join in the effort to eliminate of Jews: How are so many so ignorant? Islam has an ancient goal: To rule the entire world. Don’t Christians know they will be next in line! There is an unattributable, but well-known saying:
"First the Saturday People, then the Sunday People".
Have you, yourself taken note of any or all of the above? If not, the reality of another World War, now with Nuclear armaments, should surely get everyone’s attention! Israel is the easy target just now, but the Ayatollahs state boldly that the US is the 2nd target with other world governments to follow if they don’t align. There is now a significant, extreme and powerful population of anti-Israel, anti-Christian Islamic supporters in nearly every ‘influential’ country of the globe.
And so, the Pen of History will continue be dipped in the Blood of the innocent: yes, maybe of the Jew first, but of many millions around the world who will follow. Other nations, other peoples, will also be forced to convert or be obliterated.
The West looks at modern history, at best maybe at a few generations, the rest may be interesting to them but is not seen as relevant today. The East sees history in thousands of years and discounts NONE of it as irrelevant.
Stated simply, the Jewish faith, its writings, preceded Christianity. Christians based their faith on a Jewish Messiah and retained the Jewish Scriptures as their basis. Mohammed forced both Jews and Christians to copy the parts of their holy texts that he selected to form a basis for his new theology, as written in the Koran, Islam. Then he set out to enforce his religion and his rule by brutally and militarily conquering the world of his day, nation by nation. He was not a prophet, though he is seen as such today; he was a very successful militant. His purpose wasn’t to just create a new religion, but to use it as a basis of law for his new society, one he would rule with an iron fist. Coming late, it was imperative that it supersede both Judaism and Christianity.
Don’t be mistaken: As Islam has grown and adapted, its monetary and political influence has invaded almost every country on earth. Does that sound like a wild exaggeration? Well, it isn’t.
Check for yourselves. Today, in most countries it’s no longer necessary to hide virulent antisemitism and even anti-Christianity; it’s openly or covertly expressed by citizens and leaders alike, loudly in the streets, in the media. Universities and institutions of educational, monetary and spiritual influence now propagate or turn a blind eye to an active hatred of Jews and work to eliminate any Christian influence. What is new in this generation is the open and strong anti-Israel stance and the capability for violent enforcement of Islamic rule by physically wiping out populations who do not submit. Who would have thought that people who experienced and still remember Hitler and WWII would be so gullible.
NOW, from Oct. 7th forward the threat is not only in Israel, not just in Gaza, but in the whole world, your world and your world is now becoming a battlefield as well.
What calls out for your attention is that the battle will be fought not just in ideology this time, but in blood, the innocent blood of men, women and children of all ages and nationalities.
