Douglas Murray: “What happened in the skies above Saudi Arabia on Wednesday morning stands as a metaphor for three years of war.
The Israelis saw an existential threat, took matters into their own hands, and decided their own course.
The rest of the West will have to decide whether it will follow the Israeli model or let its own future be dictated by terror and the hijacking of its entire society.”
Dear Retarded Ana Kasparian,
You just made his argument for him, but hilariously you’re too stupid to see it.
By your own admission, a total of 3,600 tons of explosives were dropped on Dresden. And those 3,600 tons equaled approximately 25,000 deaths.
Now let’s do Gaza. 223,000 tons of explosives were dropped on Gaza, and yet it only equaled 72,000 deaths.
That’s literally ONE SINGLE DEATH for every THREE TONS of explosives dropped!
Whereas with Dresden, there were SEVEN people killed for every ONE TON of explosives dropped.
Think about it…
Gaza: 1 death per 3 tons of explosives.
Dresden: 7 deaths per 1 ton of explosives.
If Israel was actually trying to commit genocide, then they are, in fact, the absolute worst, most incompetent people at committing it in all human history.
Thank you, Ana, for being stupid enough to not recognize that you’ve just proven that Israel has NOT committed any form of genocide whatsoever. Bravo! 👏🏻
Sincerely,
An American Christian Zionist
@jennmblk There are traditional men seeking women. My experience is that most female profiles want a travel companion to see the world. Not someone who is focused on Christ and building His Kingdom.
All throughout the Bible, God spoke to His prophets.
This excerpt comes from a speech by Hugh B. Brown given at BYU.
"In 1939, before the outbreak of World War II, Brother Brown was invited by a member of England’s House of Commons to present a legal argument for Brother Brown’s claim that Joseph Smith was a prophet. President Brown described their conversation:
I began … , “You say that my belief that God spoke to a man in this age is fantastic and absurd?”
“To me it is.”
“Do you believe that God ever did speak to anyone?”
“Certainly, all through the Bible we have evidence of that.”
“Did He speak to Adam?”
“Yes.”
“To Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jacob, Joseph, and on through the prophets?”
“I believe He spoke to each of them.”
“Do you believe that contact between God and man ceased when Jesus appeared on the earth?”
“No, such communication reached its climax, it's apex, at that time.”
“Do you believe, sir, that after Jesus was resurrected, a certain lawyer—who was also a tentmaker by the name of Saul of Tarsus—when on his way to Damascus talked with Jesus of Nazareth, who had been crucified, resurrected, and had ascended into heaven?”
“I do.”
“Whose voice did Saul hear?”
“It was the voice of Jesus Christ, for He so introduced Himself.”
“Then, I am submitting to you in all seriousness that it was standard procedure in Bible times for God to talk to man.”
“I think I will admit that, but it stopped shortly after the first century of the Christian era.”
“Why do you think it stopped?”
“I can’t say.”
“You think that God hasn’t spoken since then?”
“I am sure He hasn’t.”
“There must be a reason. Can you give me a reason?”
“I do not know.”
“May I suggest some possible reasons? PERHAPS GOD DOES NOT SPEAK TO MAN ANYMORE BECAUSE HE CANNOT. HE HAS LOST THE POWER.”
He said, “Of course that would be blasphemous.”
“Well, then, if you don’t accept that, PERHAPS HE DOESN'T SPEAK TO MEN BECAUSE HE DOESN'T LOVE US ANYMORE AND HE IS NO LONGER INTERESTED IN THE AFFAIRS OF MEN."
“No,” he said, “God loves all men, and He is no respecter of persons.”
“Well, then, if He could speak, and if He loves us, then THE ONLY OTHER POSSIBLE ANSWER, as I see it, IS THAT WE DON'T NEED HIM. We have made such rapid strides in science and we are so well educated that we don’t need God anymore.”
And then he said—and his voice trembled as he thought of impending war—“Mr. Brown, there never was a time in the history of the world when the voice of God was needed as it is needed now. Perhaps you can tell me why He doesn’t speak.”
My answer was: “HE DOES SPEAK, He has spoken; but men need faith to hear Him.”
(End)
We believe that we do have a prophet on the earth today, and that God does speak to us through him. The world is in such turmoil and confusion right now, we need God more than ever in our lives!! I am so grateful to know that we will NEVER be left alone to find our way!
God loves and STILL speaks to His children through LIVING prophets!
6 MORE DAYS!!!!!

Meritocracy isn't the problem. It's the solution. And the fact that both parties are now moving toward wholesale rejection of meritocracy spells the end of American innovation, freedom, and strength.
@Victoriawrites2 “No unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing; persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame, but the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent till it has penetrated every continent” - Joseph Smith 1842
Victor Davis Hanson is not Jewish. He is a renowned American classicist, military historian, author, and senior fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution - making his fact-based defense of Israel all the more significant.
In one of his recent interviews, Hanson gave a fascinating analysis of four accusations repeatedly made against Israel - apartheid, settler colonialism, ethnic cleansing, and genocide.
His conclusion was clear: These slogans collapse when confronted with historical facts.
Apartheid?
Approximately two million Arab citizens live in Israel with the right to vote, serve in parliament, study at universities, practice their religion, and participate throughout Israeli society.
Meanwhile, many of the countries accusing Israel of apartheid officially privilege Islam and severely restrict religious conversion, minority communities, and basic freedoms.
Settler colonialism?
The Jewish connection to the land of Israel is supported by nearly 4,000 years of historical, archaeological, linguistic, and biblical evidence.
The Jewish people did not arrive in their ancestral homeland as foreign colonizers. They returned to the land from which foreign empires had repeatedly expelled them.
Meanwhile, Arab armies conquered enormous portions of the Middle East and North Africa. The Ottoman conquest transformed Hagia Sophia - once the greatest church in Christendom - into a mosque. Yet those historical conquests are rarely described as settler colonialism.
Ethnic cleansing?
Where were the demonstrations when Turkey expelled Greeks from northern Cyprus and moved Turkish settlers into the occupied territory?
Where was the outrage when Azerbaijan drove more than 100,000 Armenians from their ancestral homes in Nagorno-Karabakh?
Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Zohran Mamdani were remarkably quiet.
Genocide?
When Israel was established, approximately 170,000 Arabs remained within the country. Today, around two million Arab citizens live in Israel, and the Arab share of its population has increased rather than disappeared.
Genocidal regimes do not cause the population they supposedly seek to eliminate to grow dramatically in both number and proportion.
As Hanson explained, many of those accusing Israel are projecting the sins of their own nations, movements, and histories onto one tiny, democratic Jewish state.
Why is Israel judged by a standard applied to no other nation?
The answer is becoming painfully clear - because Israel is predominantly Jewish.
Accusations may travel quickly, but historical facts still matter.
