  1. I pray for Israel every day. As a Christian, I encourage all Jews to vote Trump in 2024. Your lives truly do depend upon it.

  2. Blessing to ALL ELOHIMS people scattered through the Nations. May the LIGHT of the GLORY of our CREATOR SHINE ever BRIGHTLY from WITHIN our TEMPLE (AS ONE IN UNITY) ….OUT for the WORLD TO SEE even in the midst of darkness into ETERNITY. The enemy can never extinguish it.

  3. I sure didn't go to a Hanukah menora lighting this year. I walk around with the most Jewish face in the world. Thank God for masks from the pandemic. One opinion and there are so many: Almost all of the rehetoric against Jews and Israelis is antisemitism, full stop. It isn't some justified thing because white and colored people don't know the history of Israel or Palestine. They whitewash in a literal sense. That said, Israel has a right to defend itself. But it doesn't have a right to slaughter innocent people. If Israel can't find some other way to destroy Hamas, they have to negotiate with Hamas or a better proxy for the Palestinian people. EVERYONE HAS TO COMMIT TO THE SANCTITY OF LIFE AND SAFETY AND EQUAL RIGHTS in Israel and Palestine. If the war can't ever be one, if tens of thousands of innocent people, including children, are slaughtered, then the only option is a peace deal that all prefer. This is among the things white and colored people abroad don't understand: It's Palestine and much of the Arab world that's committed to genocide, and it's against Israelis and Jews. They just haven't been able to achieve it. Israel survives and often thrives despite them. The Jewish people probably do want to move all the Palestinians out of Gaza. But they have a population of Palestinians who live as free people in Israel, and they vote and serve in the Israeli army, because they can be trusted and Gazans could not be. The people of Gaza voted in Hamas. Whether they're happy with that choice, it doesn't seem so. But that's what they've got. That's who Israel has to negotiate with, and they probably can't. So some creative thinking, creative dealmaking, has to take place. "The better angels (quote from Abraham Lincoln)" have to win. Or all lose, except clearly the Muslims have won the propaganda war. If that's a good deal to them. It probably isn't. It's a good deal to Hamas. It's what they wanted.

  4. Its awful cities are canceling the event because its going to trigger people to enjoy the holidays.

  5. Be self sufficient next time you bite the hand that feeds you!

  6. The existence of the Blue Stripers is a humanitarian crisis.

  7. I grew up with Lebonise and Jews in my neighborhood. I know that they had to be good in The USA or else ! . I guess that it was tolerance and not much else. I was in the middle of it. I noticed that a lot of Jews girls were fooled by the Arab devils and they ended up hurt or dead in the end. I never really considered that they could have been murdered by The Arab men. Now I see that it was very possible. I remember how the Arab men talked about the Jewish women and it wasn't good. Those stupid Jewish woman trusted those wicked Arab men.

  8. Jews must flood Hamas tunnels and stop pretending that they are good people !

  9. Give Gazans their land back and get out of Gaza

  10. its crazy because when they show pictures of jews on the media or tv only jews they show are white and never showing black jews in Israel ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

  12. Change your title, don't refer to it as the Israeli- Hamas war, instead call it what it is, the Genocide of the Palestinians.

  13. This Protestant stands with Israel!!!!!!

  14. Condolences to all injured or lost soldier's fighting for their rights in IsraelPrayers especially for Hanukah and families or friend's from Canadaโค๐Ÿ˜ข

  15. Go Israel, christians in USA support Israel!!!

  16. Terrorists lie about anything, especially if the lies support their propaganda.

  17. UN have proven their biasโ€ฆ Hamas gave fuel

  18. FAKING "HOLINESS" ?????? HOW CAN ISRAEL PRETEND TO BE HOLY SLAUGHTERING PALESTINIANS ?????

  19. Look at the journalist how she low the voice to convince us to believe what shes saying man you all evil ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
