#Israel #Hamas #Missing
Suddenly, a War in Israel
In an abrupt and unsettling turn of events, the specter of war has descended upon Israel. From the morning hours, Israelis find themselves glued to a web of information sources, receiving constant news updates, and sharing their thoughts with family, neighbors and friends. A palpable sense of anxiety weighs heavily among Israel’s residents as Israel suddenly finds itself at war again.
Indeed, we had a major security lapse. It is a failure characteristic of our tendency to underestimate our adversaries and our lack of military readiness. However, we should not mistake this lapse for an isolated incident. It is rather a symptom of a deeper enduring malaise afflicting our nation.
The heated divisions in Israeli society of recent times have been recurring for 75 years, if not centuries and millennia. Today, as in the past, we find ourselves again completely missing the point when it comes to our role in the world, and the overblown ego within each and every one of us intensifies our division.
Israel—i.e., the people of Israel—is a nation founded on the timeless principle, “love your neighbor as yourself.” Whenever we stray from the path to unite above our divisions, letting our connections become polluted with mutual animosity, we invite tragedies upon ourselves.
It is worth asking, then, what else could we expect? By letting hatred relentlessly accumulate toward each other, how could we think that hatred would not also surface toward us? This enmity clings to us like an unshakeable specter. The demonstrations of hatred in Tel Aviv, and all of our insults and the attempts to harm each other can only yield one outcome, for which we must all shoulder accountability. We need to acknowledge that we alone bear the responsibility for drawing these conflicts upon ourselves, as it is written, “No calamity comes to the world but for Israel” (Talmud Bavli, Yevamot, 63:1).
Our catastrophe is that we let the egoistic and divisive drives within each of us get the better of us, a sentiment King Solomon wisely cautioned against when he urged, “Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth” (Proverbs 27:1).
How can we avert more severe trials in the days ahead? It is by fostering humility and cultivating a genuine yearning for heartfelt connections today. As the text 𝘔𝘢𝘰𝘳 𝘷𝘢 𝘚𝘩𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘴𝘩 (𝘓𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘚𝘶𝘯)
attests, “The primary shield against calamity is love and unity. When love and unity prevail among the people of Israel, and they abstain from harming one another, calamity finds no foothold.”
The pivotal factor for achieving a life of harmony and peace is our attitude to one another. We should hold no concerns or fears other than that of letting divisive drives overpower our motion to unite.
Everyone following the unfolding events would thus be wise to contemplate the deeper reasons behind the situation that has befallen Israel today. Only unity above division can lead us to a peaceful resolution, one that assumes paramount importance in these trying times.
THE WORLD STRONGLY LOVE AND SUPPORT ISRAEL 🇮🇱.
THE WORLD FIRMLY STAND WITH ISRAEL 🇮🇱.
I dont…. speak for yourself
@The Mentalist Zz because this is not your world so you don’t speak our words! Your world is terror that’s why.
They are dead
Not the little boys….reason they took them. Whats going on with them maybe worst then being dead. heart breaking.
Oh I hope not
I’m Losing hope for humanity
@debra firestone watch….The Dancing Boys of Afghanistan. To learn more. This is a true evil we dealing with here.
We know we have to obey Yeshua’s laws only when we are fishes caught in a net😢😢😢😢😢😢
@Snooffies Dad He entered in all the prophets of Israel to write the laws. So he wrote the laws through them
@Snooffies Dad We must not argue about Yeshua anymore. We get only tears in return😢
@Keenoyads who are you to judge? Jews would have not perished if they came to my house instead of living with pagans. jealous dog
@Keenoyads and you are not allowed in my house, stray dog
https://youtu.be/lq28ZFNzaWM?si=er051xqsGVwT-eWP
They are killing them all, just for you …
I study the middle east and can tell you there is a very very evil reason they killed the adults ,but took the 2 little boys.
I woukd never go there It’s not a safe country. Please stay here in America 🇺🇸 and go other places for vacations
🙏🙏🙏🙏 Horrible situation. Humas will pay dearly for their ignorance and cruelty, and hopefully the Palestinians will learn that supporting terrorist leadership is an act of self-destruction,
Russia keeps denazifying ukraine
And I hope Israelis learn to stop supporting their far right racist apartheid zionist government that is participating in active genocide against Palestinians!
They never had anything to lose to begin with..
This is very well said!!!! hamas destroyed its own people, race and vlood
You know they all tell me Oh your safer In Israel then here in the states Sorry I don’t believe that now I’m never going to go there
At one time I would have wanted to go to see Israel but not after this
I don’t want to visit America because of all the crazy Trump supporters and homegrown militia groups and school shooters
no one cares about what you socialists want…
Maybe Rashida Tlaib or Ilhan Omar can help
war is dumb
America should tell their citizens that the government never negotiate with terrorists
they say that ,but been many cases were they did. In May 2014, the U.S. government secured the release of Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl in exchange for five Taliban prisoners held in Guantanamo.
THE END NO VOME YET!
IT’S WRITTEN! AND HUMANS ARE WITNESSING!
WAR!
BlASPHEMY!
PESTILENCES!
EARTHQUAKES!

Nutball
She’ll get the answer very soon.
What do u mean pls elaborate
for your safety don’t occupy a house that is not yours.
You are right
And on top of that, never brutally and forcibly seat your big a** on looted homes
Judge may rule against a house owner because of squatters right.
@ugo beanyi
That’s American culture. You should give a state to blood suckers
@ugo beanyiBring your rationale here in the states… Native Americans vs European settlers… Who are the squatters, Judge?
If Europe’s borders don’t matter then why should Palestine’s?
It’s unimaginable! Heartbreaking beyond comprehension!!
From the first occupation the Jewish ✡️ new that will happen at any time and they indirectly settled the foreigners in that region to be in the first meat grinder because all Jewish new that the owners of the lands they graped will never sleep in peace and hence settled faraway from the occupied land they only visited at the middle of the day after confirming the areas is save and came back early.
The reason as to why the Palestine freedom fighters, spared elderly as a captives they are the first settlers who witnessed and envolved the horrific destruction upon the defenceless Palestine 🇵🇸 and haply grabbed their farms and houses. Reports from Gaza are saying that the elderly captives who identified or knew about the early occupant are arrested in every building of Gaza informing that the government who let them occupy will destroy you using their own air strikes as every strike there are many captives eliminated in the hands of the government.
for your safety don’t occupy a house that is not yours.
I curse the USA, Israel and Canada
From 2024 you will suffer from the plague
How many innocent souls have you taken, you will answer before God, the plague epidemic will come to the USA, Israel and Canada. 😭🤲
Face it, they’re gone… as sad as it sounds.
There still hopes man let’s keep it the positive vibes going 💯
they area dead.
Western media mostly is under control of Israeli Zionist that why they runs one sided propaganda against palistin and other countries and brain wash innocent European and American peoples
When israeli shoot the reporter for reporting the killings in palestine.. do u know how it feels now?
Americans need our guns to defend ourselves from domestic terrorist democrats and republicans attack upon American SOCIETY.
Sorry, a vote for Democrats or Republicans is a vote for DOMESTIC TERRORISTS.
Democrats AND Republicans should be defunded since they are political domestic terrorist groups whose members commit and support acts of RIOTING, MASS SHOOTINGS AND BOMBINGS for their POLITICAL GAINS. These nitwits are so concerned about THEIR POLITICAL WAR they forgot 110 MILLION INNOCENT AMERICANS ARE BEING TERRORIZED BY YOUR POLITICS AND ACTS OF VIOLENCE UPON SOCIETY.
I support Convention of States; a national movement to call a convention under Article V of the United States Constitution, restricted to proposing amendments that will impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit its power and jurisdiction, and impose term limits on its officials and members of Congress.
IM GLAD SO MANY OF YOU MENTALLY ILL DOMESTIC TERRORISTS AND SYMPATHIZERS EXPOSE YOURSELVES PUBLICLY ALONG WITH your IPs and LOCATIONS online!
ter·ror·ism
/ˈterəˌrizəm/
noun
the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.
You should know that you are not innocent when you forcibly live and brutally occupy stolen land
No sympathy for supporters of Apartheid Israel.
I wish this administration and its voters didnt support terrorism 🙄
힘 내십시오 한국에서 기도하고 있습니다. 우리는 주님의 보호하심을 확신합니다❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Amén
Why is she and her family displacing Palestinians. Despicable. Those lands does not belong to you and your family dear. Where is the outrage for Palestinians over 70 years
Why were they living in an illegal settlement?
We need to unconditionally support Israel in this.
Civilization must prevail.
Isreal – military occupation – apartheid – land grabbing increased in the last two years… Not a surprise – breaking point was brought about by Israel…
*IS THIS FAIR AND UNBIASED REPORTING*
Sounds like Israel is occupying Palestinian Land.
Apparently, Palestinians are attacking Israel to regain control of their stolen Land.
Maybe that’s why *Rashida Tlaib* raised the Palestinian 🇵🇸
WOW, the truth is coming out, while Israel is playing victim.
Both sides should try to reconcile and stop waging War.
Can we all agree that what happen in Gaza in Jerusalém can be blamed and the Jewish government from imprisonment of Palestinians? Prison, Netanyahu, and prison, his right wing party. The Jewish people are wonderful people the Palestine people are wonderful people. What about God? Second man people’s imagination
Free Palestine is the only solution bombs will not help bombs destroy free those people. If God existed, he would tell you free Palestine but as we know he’s nowhere to be found, especially when the Jewish people are being killed because of their own governments policy.
gone
Hey NBC! Keep playing the victim card for your socialist terrorist masters…
uhm Ukrainina here….besides the money laundering and my entire family there for a proxy war….WHO LET THE BORDERS OPEN HUMAS AND SO MANY ILLEGALS AND TERRORISTS ARE BUSSED IN TO THE BLUE CITIES….THANKS VOTERS????? ANYONE VOTED FOR BIDEN DID NOT KNOW HE IS RACIST AND COMPROMISED….OH YOU DID BUT DIDN’T CARE….OK???
Why don’t she go ask Jesus ? 😅
There needs to be backdoor negotiations to free the hostages. Hamas needs to know that there’s value in keeping them healthy and alive. The Israeli government is so focus on revenge they are not thinking strategies to free these people.
Whatever you may think of Israel’s responsibility in this situation and the occupation, kids are innocent and should not be harmed.
Dios los proteja 🙏🏻 Dios nos proteja🙏🏻
