ISRAELI Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has hit back at claims that air strikes on Syria, Lebanon and Iraq last week were a “declaration of war” by insisting Tel Aviv will defend itself “by any means necessary.”
Mr Netanyahu — who faces an election next month — has been warned by all three countries that Israeli drone attacks will not be tolerated any longer.
Israel took the unusual measure of admitting to Saturday’s missile attack in Syria. It claimed to have targeted several sites in Damascus with “killer drones” to stop a supposed Iranian attack.
Tel Aviv does not usually comment on military operations. But earlier this year it also admitted to having conducted hundreds of bombing raids on Syria that, it claims, targeted Iranian military outposts.
Syrian civilians have been killed in the air strikes and infrastructure destroyed. Critics warn the attacks are in breach of international law.
But in a statement broadcast on state TV, Mr Netanyahu said: “Iran is working on several fronts to carry out deadly attacks against the state of Israel. Israel will continue to defend its security by all means necessary.”
Israeli regional aggression is backed by Washington, with US Vice-President Mike Pence insisting that the US “fully supports Israel’s right to defend itself from imminent threats.”
On Sunday two Israeli drones crashed near Hezbollah’s headquarters in the Lebanese capital Beirut.The Shia resistance group’s leader Hassan Nasrallah vowed to shoot down any drones that encroached into Lebanese territory.
On Monday Lebanese President Michel Aoun insisted that Lebanon had a right to defend itself, warning the attacks amounted to a “declaration of war.”
“We are a people seeking peace, not war, and we don’t accept anyone threatening us in any war,” he said.
A similar attack on Iraq close to its border with Syria was branded an “attack on Iraqi sovereignty” by President Barham Salih and Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi.
After the recent Israeli attacks against Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq, the Middle East has found itself in the midst of undeclared war.
Almost everyone in Lebanon appears to agree. “This time Israel went too far. In just two days, it bombed three countries,” I am told by a local UN staffer based in Beirut.
The same day, my local barber was talking like he saw it all, his voice full of sarcasm and determination:
“Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing tough elections at home, while his wife is on trial for fraud. A bit of excitement during the evening news can only help his chances of regaining attention from his electorate. But we here have had enough; we are ready to fight for our countries.”
But ‘fighting for their countries’ could prove lethal, as Netanyahu threatened to attack Lebanon as a whole, if Hezbollah decides to retaliate.
My barber is not just a barber. He is a Syrian engineer, exiled in Lebanon. The entire region is dispersed, derailed and intertwined, after NATO and Israeli attacks, occupations and destabilization campaigns.
The Palestinian leader was speaking during a visit to the Jalazone Refugee Camp near Ramallah earlier this month.
n a visit to the Jalazone Refugee Camp near Ramallah earlier this month, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas claimed that the Palestinians "will enter Jerusalem - millions of fighters."
In a video uploaded to Abbas' Facebook page on August 10, and reported this week by the Middle East Media Research Institute [MEMRI], the Palestinian president stated that the Palestinian people "shall remain [here], and nobody can remove us from our homeland."
Referring to Israelis, he continued, "If they want, they themselves can leave. Those who are foreign to this land have no right to it.
"No matter how many houses and how many settlements they declare that they [plan to build] here and there – they shall all be destroyed, Allah willing. They will all go to the garbage bin of history."
To back up his statements, Abbas went on to claim that the Palestinians are descended from the people of ancient Canaan, saying "This land belongs to the people who live on it. It belongs to the Canaanites, who lived here 5,000 years ago. We are the Canaanites!”
The audience can then be heard chanting, "To Jerusalem we march, martyrs by the millions!"
Abbas responded to the chant by proclaiming, “We shall enter Jerusalem — millions of fighters! We shall enter it! All of us, the entire Palestinian people, the entire Arab nation, the Islamic nation, and the Christian nation… They shall all enter Jerusalem.”
Trump: We will probably wait for the release of the Middle East peace plan until after the Israeli elections; Release postponed due to Netanyahu’s failure to form a government; The plan includes an economic boost of $50 billion for the Palestinians; Plan will not recognize a formal Palestinian state.
After being reelected in April of 2019, PM Netanyahu failed to form his own government, resulting in a fresh election in September of this year. In the meantime, the White House has been finalizing its proposal of the Trump Middle East Peace Plan, which they will wait to unveil until after the Israeli election on September 17 fully. Trump stated, “We will probably wait for the release of the Middle East peace plan until after the Israeli elections,” and that the US may, “release small parts of it beforehand.”
The Bible tells us there will be an agreement with many??? for "one week" = 7 Years.
Daniel 9:27
And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease,
Daniel 12:11
And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
So lets keep watch around this time... I am already on high alert around this time. The Feast of Tabernacles comes 14 days after the New, Jewish New year (beginning of the 7th Biblical Jewish year).
The Scripture also does not say create, but more confirm so this person will be the one that completes this 7 year agreement. This being the maximum number of years before Jesus returns to rule the world.
They’re out to put a spell on you, President Trump.
Witches around the world are expected to cast a mass spell at the stroke of midnight Friday “to bind Donald Trump and all those who abet him” — as Christian groups are urging prayer to combat this “declaration of spiritual war.”
The spell is to be performed “on every waning crescent moon until [Trump] is removed from office,” according to a Facebook page dedicated to the paranormal stunt, which involves setting ablaze an “unflattering” picture of the 45th president.
Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
This last 70th week is also the time of the prophecy of the "Seven Year Agreement" with many. This will be a great shock for atheist who may believe in the Bible prophecy when they see this happen.
Daniel 9:27
And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
On a Less positive note, My Mums Arthritis has got worse. She had to stop work about 9 weeks ago. She has been home bound and finds it very hard to be mobile on her hip. A recent X-Ray showed the hip bones have disintegrated to dust. The Doctor said has agreed for Mum to have an operation for he to have a New Hip. But as her condition is so bad, she has been put on the urgent list.
A standard waiting list would be 12 months. We are expecting the operation to be done in around 3 months.
Please prayer for my mum to be strong and of Good courage.
The Operation may come around the time of the Feast of Tabernacles, but we will have to wait and see. Happy Sabbath Day and Birthday again to mum (Saturday 3rd August)
