10 days in Tel Aviv and I am now used to the sounds of sirens because of Lebanon, Yemen, and Gaza’s attempts to kill Israelis.

Israel is *constantly* under terrorist attacks from these states, but the media keeps portraying Israel as the perpetrator.

@PunchTheLies Pag sinabi ng INC pamunuan papatay mga INC members for political religious personal reasons. Sabi ng isang INC friend, pinapatay nila noon mga kalaban sa religious debate na di nila matalo sa debate. Ingat sa kanila, pede ka nila ipaligpit.

BOMBSHELL: Sa House QuadCom hearing, ibinunyag ni Pol. Col. Royina Garma na kasama sa utos ni Duterte ang pagpili ng mga pulis na Iglesia Ni Cristo.

Ano’ng meron, bakit kailangang INC? Lumalabas na kapag INC, may kapasidad na pumatay at madaling maipatupad ang utos ni Duterte.

The dog in the photo was trained to identify and find life after earthquakes. His posture and the fact of staying fixed as seen in the image is the posture that tells the rescuer that there is life in that place...

"On the evening of the last day of his October 1995 visit to the United States, John Paul II was scheduled to greet the seminarians at Saint Mary's Seminary in Baltimore.

It had been a very full day that began with a Mass at Oriole Park in Camden Yards, a parade through downtown streets, a visit to the Basilica of the Assumption, the first cathedral in the country, lunch at a local soup kitchen run by Catholic Charities; a prayer service at the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen in North Baltimore; and finally a quick stop at Saint Mary's Seminary.
The schedule was tight so the plan was simply to greet the seminarians while they stood outside on the steps.

But the Pope made his way through their ranks and into the building. His plan was to first make a visit to the Blessed Sacrament.

When his wishes were made known, security flew into action.

They swept the building paying close attention to the chapel where the Pope would be praying.

For this purpose highly trained dogs were used to detect any person who might be present.

The dogs are trained to locate survivors in collapsed buildings after earthquakes and other disasters. These highly intelligent and eager dogs quickly went through the halls, offices and classrooms and were then sent to the chapel.

They went up and down the aisle, past the pews and finally into the side chapel where the Blessed Sacrament is reserved.

Upon reaching the tabernacle, the dogs sniffed, whined, pointed, and refused to leave, their attention riveted on the tabernacle, until called by their handlers.

+++They were convinced that they discovered someone there +++

We Catholics know they were right. They found a real, living Person in the tabernacle🇻🇦

All the people who have died in this conflict were alive - before Hamas terrorists slaughtered 1200 Israelis.

Hamas attacked Israel first.
Hezbollah attacked Israel first.
The Houthis attacked Israel first.

Every death is on them and their chief backer - Iran

Facts matter!

Islam is NOT a religion, it is a political system.
Only 14% of Islam is about religion. 60% is about how to handle the non-believer and what to do with them. 9.3% is Anti-Jew and collectively, 31% is about Jihad

[Eric Sammons @EricRSammons]

Today is the anniversary of the great victory of Catholic forces over Islamic invaders at Lepanto through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Today is a great day, then, to ask Our Lady to bring all Muslims to the Light of Christ and into the Catholic Church.

I really don’t think you understand the absolute miracles that we witnessed last night here in Israel.

In fact, I am sure you don’t.

Let’s break this down.

Israel has three air defense systems, each one of them a technological wonder and that’s not me saying it. That’s Dr. Gold who basically invented the Iron Dome who told me that. The level and sophistication of the Iron Dome is simply unparalleled.

But the Iron Dome only knows how to detonate short range rockets or missiles within a 70 km range, give or take.

Then Israel has the David’s Sling system. That knows how to deal with mid range missiles up to approximately 300 km.

Then we have the Arrow system that literally detonates missiles that can fly outside of the earth’s atmosphere. That has a range of about 2,400 km!! 🤯

Last night, as Iran rained down ballistic missiles on Israel, all three defense systems were activated and implemented to perfection.

The chances of all of these incredibly complex systems working in unison as flawlessly as they did last night, are basically non existent.

If one thing went wrong, if one of those ballistic missiles hit an apartment building, a shopping center, or an army base, we would now be burying hundreds of Israelis.

And all of that is not even the biggest miracle.

A few hours ago, I got a WhatsApp message from a good friend who is a senior executive at Microsoft and who wasn’t exactly a God fearing Jew. Until yesterday.

Here is what he wrote me.

“If you’re looking for miracles man - last night I started believing. Missiles hit all around me but none of them hit my house or any house, for that matter.”

He elaborated some more and shared info about the missiles that he watched land just meters away from very strategic places in Israel, to say the least.

Each one of those defense systems is, in and of itself, pretty miraculous, but what is even more insane is the low casualty numbers from the rockets and missiles that we’re NOT intercepted.

Where did those missiles go? I’ll tell you where. They landed in sand, in water, and in “Empty spaces”.

Have you been to Israel? It’s a microscopic country. What empty spaces? Where are these empty spaces? 🤷‍♂️

How have hundreds of Iranian ballistic missiles all either get detonated by miraculous systems or totally miss their mark and land in empty spaces causing zero casualties and minimal damage?!

How??

Listen, I get it. This thought process begs the question, where was God during the horrible terrorist attack yesterday? Where was He on October 7th? Where was He during the holocaust?

All valid questions that require a very serious nuanced conversation.

But if you know anything about what had to happen last night and throughout this war in general, for such a low number of casualties, you’ll know that what we witnessed last night was the equivalent of God splitting the sea right before our eyes.

Guess what. When God split the sea, there were those who didn’t believe it was a miracle and didn’t jump in. And there are also those who feel the need to explain it naturally. Ok, that’s fine.

You don’t want to call yesterday an act of God? That’s your choice, but like my Microsoft friend, if you look at these events objectively, you’d have a really hard time seeing those hundreds of deadly missiles land in empty spaces and not see the hand of God.

Last night was an incredible display of the collaboration between two of the powers that protect the Jewish people: The IDF and Hashem.

Last night will go down in history right alongside many of Israel’s accomplishments in this war including the beepers and the unprecedented low ratio between combatant and civilian, as a military operation the likes of which the world has never seen. Ever!

Last night will be analyzed by military strategists and experts for generations.

Last night, we witnessed history.

Last night we witnessed open miracles.

Last night, we witnessed God in all His glory watching over His children.
