This is a moving, very helpful testimony that I have been promoting. I have been shocked to discover the level of brutality, oppression and murderous violence that has been done by Zionists against Palestinians and that they have been able to skillfully hide it from people in the West for several decades. It is a horror story.
Of course we cannot condone the Hamas violence but we can, once we learn …More
This is a moving, very helpful testimony that I have been promoting. I have been shocked to discover the level of brutality, oppression and murderous violence that has been done by Zionists against Palestinians and that they have been able to skillfully hide it from people in the West for several decades. It is a horror story.
Of course we cannot condone the Hamas violence but we can, once we learn the full truth, understand why some have done these things. The Zionists have committed far more killings and violence than have Palestinians since 1947, but few are aware of this and have been so deeply brainwashed by Zionist propaganda that it is tremendously difficult to convince them to accept the truth, no matter how much solid evidence is presented.
The Zionist war-mongering and their plans to soon build a third temple are incredibly dangerous to peace in the Middle East. It threatens to spiral out of control into a great powers nuclear conflict.
I previously had no idea how often the Zionist government has threatened to use nuclear weapons if the US did not give them what they demanded. This time, their threat is more likely to happen than ever before because of how reckless and determined they are and how much they are provoking a war that will threaten Israel as never before. They will use them if Iran goes all-out against an attack from Israel in response to their reaction against the Devastating assassination attack on their consulate in Syria. No one was killed, as planned, by the Iranian missile and drone response but they warned that if Israel attacked them, they would react with a far greater punch than the first time. We should believe them. They gave Israel and the US plenty of time to prepare for their initial response to the assassinations, hence almost all the drones and missiles were shot down, no one was killed by them and minimal damage occurred. It was an impressive, carefully managed action.
The current Israeli leadership desperately wants a war with Iran but can only do it if they can lure the United States to join in the attack. We must all pray and work to convince US political leaders to have nothing to do with such an incredibly dangerous, mad military venture that will bring in Russia and China and threaten to explode into the world’s first war between nuclear powers.
God help us all.

The world will always have its Quisling(s). It is truly SAD that someone who has endured so much has become an apologist for Sheer Evil. The Arab World has tried to annihilate Israel since its inception. Israel has fought many wars to exist as a nation. They HAVE to Win each one since the alternative is to be annihilated. The Arab World can lose war after War; Awaiting that One that they Win. Nuclear …More
The world will always have its Quisling(s). It is truly SAD that someone who has endured so much has become an apologist for Sheer Evil. The Arab World has tried to annihilate Israel since its inception. Israel has fought many wars to exist as a nation. They HAVE to Win each one since the alternative is to be annihilated. The Arab World can lose war after War; Awaiting that One that they Win. Nuclear power in the hands of Iran could well give them that one Victory. When you called the Hamas Massacre of Israeli Citizens a Militarty Operation. You LOST me. When people tell you (I.e., Little Satan and Big Satan as their adjectives) that they desire to exterminate you, it is worth paying attention to the threats.

How can you be so closed-minded and heartless to such an appeal? It boggles the mind that you just accept all the zionist propaganda and mass slaughter that is going on now in Gaza. You hear no evil, see no evil except the for the propaganda you have been constantly fed by our highly controlled media. Your response could have been written by the huge Israeli zionizt propaganda machine.

Many thousands of Jews are very outspoken and protesting against what is going on in Gaza. They have a heart and feel shame for what the zionists are doing to so many thousands of innocent Palestinian women and children. There are numerous alternative websites showing photos and videos exposing the Zionist evil deeds that most media refuse to show or the zionists censor or kill an all-time record number of journalists to stop most of them from reporting the horrible truth. But, in this age of the cell phone they would have to kill everyone to prevent them from being used to record the slaughter and devastation - and they are trying to do just that.
Iran does not have nuclear weapons. That is a lie constantly promoted by Israel to justify its violence and terrorism. Wake up! You are being used, or, you may be a zionist agent whose job it is to undermine this brave, truthful message from an honest, God-loving Jew.

I think you're missing a very basic point. Israel only came into existence because they committed genocide against the Palestinians to establish it. Palestinians aren't just Arabs....they were Christians....! More and more Christians have had to leave the region for survival.

I think you're missing a very basic point. Israel only came into existence because they committed genocide against the Palestinians to establish it. Palestinians aren't just Arabs....they were Christians....! More and more Christians have had to leave the region for survival.
They drove close to a million Palestinians (Christian and Arab alike) off their ancestral lands into the walled Gheto of Gaza to establish Israel. It was a completely arbitrary, politically established state in the region; driving existing Palestinians out of their homes and lands. And they keep taking more and more land. You must know the historical facts to understand what is driving the hostilities in that region.
QUESTION...Have you seen the videos of Orthodox Jews in Israel spitting at Catholic Religious they encounter in the streets? I have.
QUESTION....if someone drove you out of your home and into a walled ghetto where you live in desperation for generations to come, not permitted even to come and go....would you be angry about it?
When you cause hostility through brutality, you should not be surprised that hostility is acted out.
Learn the history of the "1948 Palestinian Expulsion". It's even in Wikipedia. And if you look at the revision history on the article, the article has been heavily "sanitized" since October 2023 to leave out the weighty facts. The article previously stated that at least 700,000 Palestinians were driven off the land. That fact has been removed from the article along with other troubling facts surrounding the establishment of the State of Israel.

@Joe Raymond Adams You can also find in Wikipedia a description of the deplorable conditions of the Palestinians living in the Gaza strip, which has now been absolutely decimated under Israel military action.
As the article notes, there are close to 2 million Palestinians packed into the equivalent of an "open air prison" in Gaza, in a territory just 5 miles wide on average, by 25 miles long....…More

As the article notes, there are close to 2 million Palestinians packed into the equivalent of an "open air prison" in Gaza, in a territory just 5 miles wide on average, by 25 miles long.....many suffering from famine, unutterable poverty and denial of employment (unemployment among youth is 70%, and 46% among the general population...destroying lives and futures).
Many humanitarian groups say it is a crime against humanity.
I personally know a Prioress at a monastery in the Holy Land who said they have daily witnessed genocide of the Palestinians for decades and that they have to hide any Palestinians who want to work for them in the trunks of their cars in order to get past checkpoints. It's absolutely barbaric and inhuman.
WIKIPEDIA:
[D]uring the 1967 Six-Day War, Israel captured and occupied the Gaza Strip, initiating its decades-long military occupation of the Palestinian territories.[11][12]
[...]
In 2005, Israel unilaterally withdrew its military forces from Gaza, dismantled its settlements, and implemented a temporary blockade of Gaza. The blockade became indefinite after the 2007 Hamas takeover, supported by Egypt through restrictions on its land border with Gaza.[17]
Despite the Israeli disengagement, the United Nations (UN), the International Committee of the Red Cross, and many human-rights organizations continue to consider Gaza to be held under Israeli military occupation, due to what they consider Israel's effective military control over the territory; Israel disputes that it occupies the territory.[18][19][20]
The current blockade prevents people and goods from freely entering or leaving the territory, leading to Gaza often being called an "open-air prison."[21][22]
The UN, as well as at least 19 human-rights organizations, have urged Israel to lift the blockade.[23] Israel has justified its blockade on the strip with wanting to stop flow of arms, but Palestinians and rights groups say it amounts to collective punishment and exacerbates dire living conditions,[24] which have resulted in an ongoing famine.[25]
The Gaza Strip is 41 kilometres (25 miles) long, from 6 to 12 km (3.7 to 7.5 mi) wide, and has a total area of 365 km2 (141 sq mi).[26][27] With around 2 million Palestinians[28] on approximately 365 km2 (141 sq mi) of land, Gaza has one of the world's highest population densities.[29][30]
More than 70% of Gaza's population are refugees or descendents of refugees, half of whom are under the age of 18.[31] Sunni Muslims make up most of Gaza's population, with a Palestinian Christian minority. Gaza has an annual population growth rate of 1.99% (2023 est.), the 39th-highest in the world.[32]
Gaza's unemployment rate is among the highest in the world, with an overall unemployment rate of 46% and a youth unemployment rate of 70%.[17][33]
Despite this, the area's 97% literacy rate is higher than that of nearby Egypt, while youth literacy is 88%.[34] Gaza has throughout the years been seen as a source of Palestinian nationalism and resistance.[35][36][37]

Great model for first step targeting religious and ethnic reconciliations!
@Scapular The vast majority of people are sadly uneducated about the history of how the state of Israel came about, the Balfour Declaration brokered by England that arbitrarily seized property and drove over 750,000 Palestinians out of their homes and off land on which their people had lived for centuries, ultimately confining well over 1.5 million Palestinians -- as of today -- behind a 30-foot …More
@Scapular The vast majority of people are sadly uneducated about the history of how the state of Israel came about, the Balfour Declaration brokered by England that arbitrarily seized property and drove over 750,000 Palestinians out of their homes and off land on which their people had lived for centuries, ultimately confining well over 1.5 million Palestinians -- as of today -- behind a 30-foot cement wall surrounding the Gaza strip.
Many highly devout, well-educated Orthodox Jews are absolutely opposed to Zionism. They explain that Judaism is a religion, as is Catholicism, Protestantism, Moslem, etc., not a secular national identity which requires a territorial region seized from an existing populace with violent force...and certainly not at the cost of Palestinian genocide.
I personally know of Catholics who live in the Holy Land who say they witness daily the genocide and oppression of the Palestinians. They are kept prisoners in their homes and if they are hired for work, they have to be transported in the trunks of cars to the place of work so they are not seen to be out and about working.
I will never defend the horrific atrocities which recently took place with the attacks on Israel by Hamas; However, by the same token, neither can one overlook the ongoing genocide of these people whose homes and land were unjustly torn from them by violence to artificially establish Zionist Israel. BOTH forms of violence need to be condemned.
This is an unjust, inhuman apartheid -- a living prison for Palestinians. We ought not to be surprised that such inhumanity to man has inspired more inhumanity to man.
EDIT: Here is an interview with a devout Jew who explains what happened in Palestine when Israel was forcibly established as a state in 1948: On 1948 | Ilan Pappe | Part I | 2018 interview
One was must distinguish between Jews who adhere to Judaism, and Zionist Jews who want to establish a national state at any cost of human lives, while not expecting the Palestinians to fight back.
