In keeping with their explicit goal of destroying Hamas by annihilating Gaza into dust, the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) continues their bombardment on the Palestinians, resulting in a continued rise in civilian deaths especially that of children.
Middle East Eye is now reporting that the latest tally of confirmed Palestinians deaths exceed 9,000 so far. The Associated Press purports that over 3,600 children have also been slaughtered.
Palestinian journalist Salman al-Bashir lamented on television that they are getting picked-off one by one, after one of his co-workers was killed documenting the war. His colleague, Abu Hattab, including eleven members of his family, including his wife, son and brother, were killed by an IDF missile in Khan Younis today.
I never thought for a moment that I would be announcing the martyrdom of [Abu Hattab], who stood next to me here 30 minutes ago.
We can’t take it anymore. We are exhausted. We are victims. The only difference between us is the time of death. We are killed one after another.
This gear and helmet do not protect any journalist. They are just empty slogans. We are victims, live on air. We are victims awaiting our turn to be killed.
Video was captured of another refugee camp destroyed after it was leveled by an airstrike. About 15 bodies were identified on camera with many more still trapped underneath the rubble.
Yesterday over a hundred people were killed at another refugee camp in Jabalia that was blown-up by Israeli airstrikes, though the Palestinian interior ministry claims that over 400 killed and wounded.
These buildings house hundreds of citizens. The occupation’s air force destroyed this district with six US-made bombs. It is the latest massacre caused by Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip.
The international community must act immediately to stop Israel before it is too late.
Interior ministry spokesperson Iyad al-Bazum told reporters.
CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, who is a Jew, is currently staying in Tel Aviv, Israel, reporting on the war from there. Blitzer pressed Lt. Col. Richard Hecht, the international spokesperson for the IDF, live on why the IDF decided to strike this neighborhood knowing of the large amount of civilians there. Hecht responded, “This is the tragedy of war. We told them to move south.” When Blitzer asked again if the IDF decided to disregard this information, Hecht said “We’re doing everything we can to minimize [civilian deaths].”
Video from October 19th has also recently emerged that depicts Christians in Gaza lamenting the destruction of a 1,600-year-old Church of Saint Porphyrius, while one man searched diligently to be reunited with his family after being separated from the attacks.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has already publicly stated, as have some U.S. officials, that a ceasefire is not in the cards, essentially insinuating a black & white pick and choose type of response to the crisis.

Russian President Vladimir Putin again weighed-in recently on the war, reiterating that what Hamas did was terrible but Israel’s retaliatory measures are no better.
The horrible events currently unfolding in the Gaza Strip, when hundreds of thousands of innocent people are getting indiscriminately annihilated, have nowhere to run, nowhere to hide from bombardment, cannot be justified by anything.
When you’re watching bloodied children, dead children, suffering of the elderly, death of medics – fists are clenching and tears are welling up. Yet we should not, we cannot allow ourselves to be led by emotions.
Putin explained
Though this was began with a “terrorist attack,” he said, Israel rather than instead of “punishing” those behind it, they “unfortunately” opted for “vengeance” and assigned “collective responsibility” for it, Putin explained, RT reported.
Putin has already condemned Israel’s actions and compared them to the likes of the Nazis.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
[3] Thus saith the LORD; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place. [17] But thine eyes and thine heart are not but for thy covetousness, and for to shed innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence, to do it. Jeremiah 22:3, 17
The deliberate actions being taken by the corrupt Israeli government with Netanyahu and his cronies at the helm (bankrolled and aided by the U.S., the real source of the problems here), who knew these attacks by Hamas were coming far in advance but allowed them to do so anyways – will only cause the nations and the people to grow more and more bitter and hateful towards Israel and the Jews.
If you are a Jew in the West and elsewhere and abroad, take great precaution and travel safely, because the Muslims and other infuriated Westerners are going to start “evening the score” to get vengeance on you, when you have done nothing wrong. Seriously, take precautions and walk circumspectly; and seriously consider trying to find ways to return to your land and not be scattered abroad the Gentile lands.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

I trust the veracity of none of these mainstream and alt outlets, not one bit. I’m just reporting on what they say, because however true or untrue it is, this is what the world sees and guides most people’s affairs.
All sinners claim to be ‘victims’, even after having turned from truth & refusing to lift their eyes to God who sees & judges all aright. They don’t talk about those tunnels that were engineered for murder & destruction, the attempted annihilation of Israel in hatred against the truth & word of God, by the monies & efforts of men such as themselves, every bit as sinful & wicked as the dead, dry bones that the Lord sets ablaze in sorting judgment & destruction.
–
Nor do they speak of the facts that 80% of the missiles launched by Hamas end short, killing their own people who ally themselves to evil & allow themselves to be used as shields & excuses for what Hamas & the spirit behind it desires to be seen as ‘just’…….or of the fact that there never has been a ‘Palestinian’ people or land, both Latin inventions elevating the Philistines & going back to the Roman Pontifex Maximus Emperor Hadrian’s attempts to erase even the memory of hated Judah & what she represents & evidences from the earth……or the fact that of all those Islamic nations screeching for her destruction: from the ‘stans’ to Egypt & Africa, with space & more to absorb those people into their territories: they all refuse to do so, showing the truth of the spirit they serve, & the truth of the ‘love’ and ‘concern’ they have for ‘human’ life & those ‘victims’ who aren’t anymore than any other sinner, Jewish ones included.
–
The one in the heavens still laughs, & he is absolutely & totally in control, and able to sort & to save the repentant as they look to his word & believe, then lift their eyes, & attach their hope, to him & his salvation. Even as his word is fulfilled & this devil ‘Allah, and the sin-excusing, man-followers of the violent, thieving, pedophilic and veiled sodomite (they only rape ‘infidels’ & the defeated…or children of those too weak to do anything about it: sound familiar & Catholic? that’s cuz it’s craft as surely as those of craft amongst the Jews, & it is) Mohammed & those receiving the fruits & spirit out from Alexandria, Egypt are gathered to judgment & sorting as the fulfillment of God’s word continues.
–
It’s bigger than men, and the Lord sees it all & not just the fringes of the conspiracies & the wickedness that we can see or know of. We must take care not to be amongst those drawing men toward the wrong & impure, crafty, steering and manipulating and exploiting spirit of death & destruction: even as the Lord uses that spirit & those who follow him in sorting trial and judgment.
–
We have such tunnels on our borders, as well. The Medellin cartel built them even as they were judged & put down by other doublecrossing wicked gangs & cartels, the waving dialectic arms of power & politics with their deceitful ways & cunning craftiness. Same spirit, and often the same men puppeting at the deepest core & highest up (they think!)…..only ‘enjoying sin for a season’ and every season ends. We are no different than the Sadduccees, Pharisees and Herodians of old & if we refuse to lift our eyes above merely what we can see or know despite all the deception & manipulation, we, too can come to bad ends…..even if we don’t lose our salvation. Those who refused to repent to receive the truth of the Law’s conviction & the only hope with all of their hearts to the bitter end, of course, receiving their merited bitter end. We must remember Romans 11 KJB and the admonitions of all the epistles & Gospels as these things grind on and out, while trusting & praying for the grace of God to sustain us come what may. Beware being drawn in on their ‘sides’.
“Yet we should not, we cannot allow ourselves to be led by emotions.”
I’m not an admirer of any of these leaders. But there’s wisdom with what Putin said here. Being excessively emotional, whether sadness, fear, anger, etc. will cripple critical thinking with the events happening all over. All of mainstream media knows this only too well. They always manipulate people’s feelings and thoughts with how they present the news, or the entire narrative of things as Jacob also pointed out. Goes back to truth with what the Bible teaches about temperance and moderation:
Colossians 3:5
Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
2 Peter 1:5-7
5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6 and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7 and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
I’m not saying to be like psychopaths with no empathy whatsoever. But to have affections focused toward where they should be, to God, his word and heaven first, and toward each other as brethren in Christ.
Colossians 3:2
Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
Romans 12:10
Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
Matthew 22:37
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
It’s terrible than innocent children are dying in this war. But we must not forget that wars have been going on for a long time, including biblical times. The Lord has been giving more than enough warnings and chances, warning after warning, chance after chance to all mankind for thousands of years, to Muslims, Jews and Gentiles, that people’s wickedness in continuing to sin will lead to death in this world, it doesn’t matter whether you’re born again or not.
Consider also man’s free will relating to their choices that contribute to other innocent children’s defilement and death on earth, such as twisted pedophilic sodomites raping children, murderers aborting their babies… The Lord’s not for these things (Jeremiah 19:5), but he will not take away men’s freedom to choose what they do, good or evil, and there are blessings or punishments as consequences.
This war is God’s righteous judgment. The levels of brutality that are involved are also dependent on men’s choices. However terrible the Lord’s judgments seem to be for some, let’s not forget that our thoughts are not his thoughts (Isaiah 55:8). We can’t rely on our own flawed sense of morality that has been influenced by the world’s self-righteousness and brainwashing since we’ve been born. We rely on all of God’s standards of righteousness in the King James Bible, that are perfect, pure, holy and always for the good of all people.
People get carried away by emotions whenever innocent children die in this world because they love the world. They don’t consider the absolute truth that heaven is a way better place for the children to be than here on earth.
Well said. This whole thing is literally “The War on Terror 2.0” that was starting by little Georgie Bush after the obvious 9/11 false flag, and as Bush infamously said, “Either you are with us or you are with the terrorists,” and that’s all we’ve gotten since day one of this thing. People and “Christians” are goaded like sheep to pick a side that are both in the wrong. It’s the Hegelian Dialectic, and yet people are too blind to see it.
Proverbs 4:27 Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.
I absolutely agree. Now things are getting closer to the boiling point. People just won’t let go of this red-corner vs. blue corner mentality even when truth is staring them in the face.
