   Agreed, C.L. Fast, complete, unassailable.

   Without it the hostages are lost, and there will be more over the years. Many more.

   By all means pray for peace…when victory is achieved. Psalm 144 would be a good starting point.

   Not really.
   Putin and Hamas are increasingly being painted as the same thing. Artful.

   As for the Christians in Gaza, their problem is that they are Palestinian.
   Human shields for Hamas, the story goes.

   He’s a bit slow. Francis got in first.

   Pope Francis Calls for End to Shedding of ‘Innocent Blood’ in Gaza (16 Oct)

   Israel Calls on Pope Francis to Issue ‘Clear and Unequivocal’ Condemnation of Hamas Terror Attack (16 Oct)

   I haven’t seen any evidence of either the latter or the former, not yet at least. There are a few Christians in Gaza, although finding them will be hard. Admittedly I haven’t been keeping track though. Justin and Francis should get together though, they seem fairly sympatico.

   Oh, that was woeful. That speech right there signals the end of the US as a world power. How could anyone be intimidated by that doddering imbecile?

    from and‘s link,

    Islamic terrorism is not an American problem, a British problem, a French problem, a Russian problem, a Chinese problem or an Israeli problem. It’s an Islamic problem. The only way we will ever triumph against it is to stop treating it as someone else’s problem. If only India gave up Kashmir, Israel gave up more of the West Bank, if America stopped being involved in the Middle East, if France hadn’t banned the hijab and the Netherlands hadn’t allowed cartoons of Mohammed, there would be no Islamic terrorism are the kinds of lies that are killing us.

    We are not responsible for Islamic terrorism. None of us. Only Islam is responsible.

    Islamic violence is over 1,000 years old. It predates most modern countries and it is not caused by anything we do. The only thing we are guilty of is our failure to smash the Jihad.

    Islamic terrorism is not an American problem, a British problem, a French problem, a Russian problem, a Chinese problem or an Israeli problem.
    I beg to differ in the case of China.
    Uighur Islamic terrorism in Xingjiang is organizsed and funded by the U.S. State department.
    Australian Governments of both colours have reckoned Uighurs DoublePlus Good, Chinese suffering Islamophobia.
