Biden Conditions Visit on Israel Renewing Supplies to Nazi Hamas Regime
|
|
President Joe Biden’s Administration on Monday leveraged its support to Israel in a manner that left no doubt about the Jewish State being a client state in the most humiliating sense of the word. Prime Minister Benjamin took it on the chin with a smile of gratitude, preparing his people for what many suspected was coming, reneging on all his promises of what he would do to Hamas and how much it would hurt.
US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken stated Tuesday morning that in the discussions he held tonight with Netanyahu and the War Cabinet ministers, it was agreed to formulate a plan to deliver aid to civilians in the Gaza Strip.
According to Blinken, it was “critical” that this aid get to Gaza as soon as possible.
The discussion at the Kirya in Tel Aviv lasted more than seven hours, and at around 2:30 in the morning, Blinken left. And only at the end of the discussion in which the plan to resupply Gaza was hatched, did Blinken announce President Joe Biden’s visit to Israel on Wednesday.
He held it under Netanyahu’s nose for seven hours before letting him bite into it.
Blinken said that during his visit, Biden will expect Israel to explain how it operates to reduce the harm to civilians while attacking Hamas and other terrorist organizations in Gaza, and stressed that the US President also expects Israel to allow humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip “in a way that will not favor Hamas.” (The Jewish Press) Read more here.

- Lord God, we take note of the fiery red sky over Washington, D.C., that met us when we awakened this morning. In pondering this celestial event, we heard, "Red
sky in the morning . . . sailors take warning!"
This sign in the heavens was shown immediately after these wicked negotiations took place in Israel. Lord God, we REPENT that our leaders have done this to Israel, and we now ask for protection for Your children in America as we grieve this decision, and as we come to You, on bended knee, asking only that Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. We see the writing on the wall, and we are now being judged for this horrific act, in Your name, Amen and amen!

And I will curse him who curses you;
And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”" (Genesis 12:3)

NOW!! Must watch clip of FDD’s Mark Dubowitz on CNN responding to former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper’s false claims
|
|
When CNN anchor Laura Coates asked former Director of National Intelligence (and CNN national security analyst) James Clapper to explain how Hamas became so brutal, he started:
“Well, it starts with the lengthy blockade that Egypt and Israel imposed on the Gaza Strip, restricting good and services that had previously gone into Gaza…”
During the commercial break, Mark asked the anchor if he could respond.
To a CNN audience, Mark then brought facts and historical context and explained why there is a blockade of Gaza and why Hamas attacked Israelis:
- How Israel, seeking peace, withdrew every Israeli soldier, citizen, and grave in 2005.
- About the bitter Fatah-Hamas civil war where Hamas threw Palestinians off rooftops and shot them in the knees.
- How Hamas diverted resources meant for civilian infrastructure, including concrete, to instead build terror infrastructure. About Hamas’s founding charter that calls for the annihilation of Israel and his first-hand experience in the 1980s and 1990s with Hamas suicide bombers terrorizing Israelis at schools, cafes, discos.
Mark concludes: “Hamas slaughtering Israeli women and children is not a new phenomenon. And it has nothing to do with the blockade. It has everything to do with Hamas’s founding ideology.

Trump returns to New York fraud trial,
complains about gag order
|
|
Former president Donald Trump returned to his New York civil fraud trial on Tuesday and complained about a partial gag order imposed on him by a judge in a separate case.
Trump’s former personal lawyer-turned-foe Michael Cohen had been scheduled to testify at the trial on Tuesday but delayed his appearance to attend to what he said was a medical issue.
The 77-year-old Trump spoke to reporters as he arrived at the Manhattan courtroom, attacking New York attorney general Letitia James, who brought the civil fraud case against him, the judge presiding over the trial, and President Joe Biden.
“This is a witch hunt by a radical, lunatic attorney general,” Trump said. “This is a rigged trial,” he added, with a “Democrat judge” who is “very liberal.”
Trump, the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, also claimed, falsely, that the federal judge who will preside over his trial in Washington for conspiring to overturn the 2020 US election had taken away his “right to speak.”
“My speech has been taken away from me,” he said. “I’m a candidate that’s running for office and I’m not allowed to speak.
“This is a railroading that’s all coming out of the Department of Justice,” the former president said. “It’s all set up by Biden and his thugs that he’s surrounded with to try and sneak out an election victory that he’s not entitled to win.”
US District Judge Tanya Chutkan did not take away Trump’s right to speak. Rather, she ordered him not to make public statements targeting prosecutors, court staff or potential witnesses ahead of the trial scheduled to begin in Washington in March 2024. (Read more here)

Biden admin set to allow Iran UN sanctions on ballistic missile program to expire:
'Huge victory for Tehran'
|
|
Some UN sanctions on regime set to expire this coming Wednesday
|
|
The Hamas war against Israel is slated to be given a potent shot in the arm if the U.S. and its European allies allow U.N. sanctions to be lifted on Iran’s capability to purchase and supply missiles to enemies of the U.S. and Israel, according to experts on Tehran.
This coming Wednesday is the so-called "Transition Day" when the expiration of the U.N.’s embargo against Iran’s ability to procure and sell missiles and drones goes into effect.
Richard Goldberg, who served on the National Security Council during the Trump administration as the director for Countering Iranian Weapons of Mass Destruction, told Fox News Digital, "The president gives a speech saying he is heartbroken about the images of the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust and opposes Hamas, and a week later, he hands a gift to Hamas’ sponsor, Iran. My heart breaks to see the president lift this embargo."
Goldberg said the removal of U.N. sanctions on Iran’s missile program "will be a huge victory for Tehran that is simply serving as a reward for terrorism and proliferation around world."
The Biden administration would have multiple pathways to try stopping the sanctions from expiring. U.N. Security Council Resolution 2231 states unequivocally that the U.S. is a partner to the resolution that endorsed the JCPOA; the Trump administration previously cited the resolution in its push to trigger snapback sanctions. In addition, the administration could endorse a potential letter from the EU3 -- made up of the U.K., France and Germany -- to the president of the Security Council to invoke snapback, though it's not believed that such a move from the Europeans is on the table.

- Heavenly Father, we implore You to obstruct the likelihood of Iran (Persia) being able to obtain horrific weapons of mass destruction due to the inaction of Joe Biden and the administration. We call Joe Biden under the authority of Almighty God and ask You to speak to him in his sleep and through God-fearing counselors in Jesus name, may he understand the gravity of this matter and extend the embargo against the Iranian regime. We call for angelic warriors to interfere with every opportunity to lay hold of such weapons and ask You Holy One to drive them to repentance, for Your glory.

1. IDF chief warns Israel will 'annihilate' Hezbollah as attacks continue - Jerusalem Post
IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi warned that "if Hezbollah makes a mistake and attacks, [they will be] annihilated," as Hezbollah continued to conduct anti-tank missile attacks toward Israeli territory on Tuesday.
The IDF said earlier in the day that anti-tank missile attacks targeted Metula, Zar'it, Yiftah, and near Margaliot in northern Israel. Gunfire also targeted a number of IDF posts along the border throughout the day, with the Hezbollah-affiliated al-Manar TV reporting that cameras and other IDF equipment were targeted.
Additionally on Tuesday afternoon, two rockets were fired from Lebanon toward Israel. (Read more)

2. IDF confirms Islamic Jihad failed rocket destroyed Gaza hospital - Jerusalem Post
The IDF confirmed late Tuesday night that a Palestinian Islamic Jihad failed rocket attack damaged a Gaza hospital, leading to a still unclear number of deaths.
The army spokesperson gave a press conference declaring that "an analysis of IDF operational systems indicates a barrage of rockets was fired by terrorists in Gaza, passing in close proximity, to the hospital at the time it was hit. Intelligence from a few sources that we have in our hands indicates that the Islamic Jihad is responsible."
The office also told Israeli media that Israel is in possession of audio recordings in which Islamic Jihad members say out loud that they are responsible for the explosion. (Read more)

3. Half a Million Israelis Displaced by Hamas War, IDF Spokesman Says - Algemeiner
An Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesman revealed on Tuesday that more than half a million Israelis have been displaced in the war with Hamas.
Speaking at a briefing on X/Twitter, Lt. Col. (res.) Jonathan Conricus said the evacuations from Israeli communities near Gaza and on the border with Lebanon were a sign of the importance that the IDF placed on protecting civilians, including Gazans.
“There are about half a million internally displaced Israelis at the time,” Conricus said. “And these people have either found temporary refuge with friends and family in central Israel, areas that are deemed ‘safer,’ even though they are also under constant rocket attacks and have to be in shelters, and so have other Israelis. So we’re talking about a significant humanitarian situation in Israel, hugely underreported, amid a lot of focus on Gaza.” (Read more)

1. Jordan loses first round of voting for Speaker - DML News
A least 20 Republicans dug in their heels and refused to support GOP House Speaker nominee Jim Jordan during the first House floor vote Tuesday afternoon, leaving the U.S. House of Representatives still without an official Speaker. Jordan needed 217 votes to win the Speakership. Instead, Jordan only received 200 votes.
7 Republicans voted for Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.), and another 6 Republicans voted for former Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Another 7 Republicans voted for other random people as speaker, in an act of defiance. Three people voted for former Rep. Lee Zeldin.
All 212 Democrat members of Congress voted for their leader, Hakeem Jeffries. The House went into recess after Jordan lost the vote. It is yet uncertain when a second vote will be held. (Read here)

2. Sen. Cotton Demands DHS ‘Immediately Deport’ Foreign Nationals Who Express Support For Hamas Attacks - The Daily Caller
Republican Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton sent a letter Monday to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas calling on the agency to deport any foreign nationals, including those on a student visa, who have expressed support for Hamas’ attacks on Israel.
“I write to urge you to immediately deport any foreign national — including and especially any alien on a student visa — that has expressed support for Hamas and its murderous attacks on Israel,” he wrote.
Federal law is clear that any alien who ‘endorses or espouses terrorist activity or persuades others to endorse or espouse terrorist activity or support a terrorist organization’ is inadmissible and must be deported. Swiftly removing and permanently barring from future reentry any foreign student who signed onto or shared approvingly the anti-Semitic letter from the Harvard Palestine Solidarity Committee on October 7 would be a good place to start,” Cotton wrote in the letter.

- We pray for divine intervention on this demand of Senator Cotton and that these hostile actors would be promptly deported from the U.S. We call for DHS to obey the law on behalf of our nation, in Jesus name.

Tucker Carlson and Neil Patel’s new media company has been registered in Nevada under the holding company name Last Country, Inc., the WSJ reported.

4. Palestine from the river to the sea' means 'extermination' of Israel, ex-counterterrorism official warns - Fox News
When pro-Palestinian protesters chant "Palestine from the river to the sea," they are really calling for the "extermination of the Jewish state," one former counterterrorism coordinator warned.
"They think that Israel shouldn't exist at all," Nathan Sales told "Sunday Night in America." "This is exterminationist rhetoric and our First Amendment means that we have to tolerate this kind of speech, but the antidote for that kind of abhorrent speech is more speech. We need to expose what these Hamas sympathizers are really all about."
Several American cities have seen protests against Israel by pro-Palestinian supporters since the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas. Instead of condemning Hamas, many have spoken out against Israel for military operations in besieged territory, citing civilian casualties. (Read here)

We stand for Israel and declare that they will be victorious in recovering their land and people and the presence of God will lead them through the darkness, in Jesus name.

5. Man claiming to be ISIS member goes on shooting rampage in Belgium - DML News
Brussels has been brought to a standstill after two people were killed when a gunman claiming to be a member of ISIS went on a rampage and opened fire on a group of Swedish football fans. The gunman is said to have begun shooting at the men as they passed through Boulevard d’Ypres just a few minutes north of the city’s famous Grand Plaza.
The Swedes were wearing their team’s jerseys and were believed to be on their way to a match at King Baudouin Stadium, where Sweden were playing Belgium. A third person is said to be seriously injured.
As a result of the attack, the game between Belgium and Sweden has now been cancelled, and fans were kept inside the stadium for their protection. The city’s terror alert has been raised to a “4”, which is the highest level. (Read here)

6. US tells 2,000 troops to be prepared to DEPLOY to the Middle East - DML News
The Pentagon has reportedly selected about 2,000 troops to prepare for a deployment to help Israel as a second carrier strike group steams for the eastern Mediterranean. Officials said the troops will not serve in a combat role but would be tasked with medical support or advisory duties.
The USS Gerald R. Ford has already arrived off the coast of Israel last week.
During a press briefing on Monday, Deputy Defense press secretary Sabrina Singh would only say when questioned about the deployment orders, “I don’t have more to provide at this time. I might be able to give you more details later, but at this time, I just don’t have anything more specific to add.”
The troops are currently stationed both inside the Middle East and outside, including Europe, the officials said. (Read here)

7. Trump sues ex-spy over dossier, citing ‘shocking and scandalous claims’ - The Hill
Former President Trump is suing the former British spy behind the controversial Steele Dossier that detailed intel on potential links between Trump and Russia, asserting the report contained “shocking and scandalous claims” that were false and harmful to the former president’s reputation.
Trump’s lawyers filed suit in Britain against Orbis Business Intelligence, the company founded by Christopher Steele, a former MI6 agent who published a 35-page dossier including uncorroborated claims that Trump’s campaign and Russian agents conspired to influence the 2016 U.S. election, according to The Associated Press.

We pray for this matter to be fairly adjudicated in a righteous court of law, in Jesus name.

8. Hundreds Killed by Islamic Jihad After Misfire Causes Explosion at Gaza City Hospital - Townhall
Following a blast at a hospital in Gaza City on Tuesday, Hamas immediately claimed that an Israel Defense Forces strike was to blame — but the evidence does not support such claims from Hamas officials pretending to be impartial government ministers inside the Gaza Strip. In fact, the evidence disproves what Hamas — and many of its sympathizers in the media and politics — have said.
Instead of what Hamas rushed to claim, it appears the attempt to blame Israeli forces and further demonize Israel and its people is nothing more than scrambling to draw attention away from the mass-casualty event that was, in fact, the result of a misfired Hamas or another Iran-backed terrorist's rocket and, potentially simultaneously, an attempt to cover up the fact that Hamas was again using a hospital to house terrorist infrastructure and weapons stockpiles.

- Holy King, this is such a tragic consequence of the self-centered wickedness that characterizes terrorism. We pray for an end to this evil ideology that willingly uses innocent people to protect its violent actions and that the terrorists will receive the justice due their crimes, in Jesus name.

The Evil Among Us
The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, October 17, 2023
We have seen the images and heard the reports of Congressional Representatives, organizations, professors, and others rallying in support of Hamas against Israel. People that share this support of Hamas are absolutely wrong. Nothing underscores their error more than what we have witnessed in Israel. My God! How can anyone in their right mind support the bloodlust brutality of Hamas? One would have to be incredibly evil. All these people who are protesting on behalf of a Free Palestine believe their opinion is equal to anybody else’s opinion. They believe they have a right to support Hamas. But having the right doesn’t make it right, nor does it make it remotely acceptable. There is clearly evil among us.
There is no moral equivalency between supporting Hamas and supporting Israel. None whatsoever. Hamas and the other Islamic terror organizations and terrorist-sponsoring countries stated purpose is the destruction of Israel. That means the killing, raping, dismembering, torturing of innocent men, women and children. This is the governance of the caliphate, where the laws of Islam require submission or death. Understand that Hamas, the governing body of Gaza, is a caliphate. In 2005, the “Palestinian” people in Gaza began electing Hamas representatives in the newly formed “democracy” instituted with the help of President George W Bush. By January 25, 2006 the “Palestinian” people elected the terrorist group to govern Gaza, by nearly a two to one margin, sending ripples throughout the world at the time. Read More

Joe Biden is going to Israel tomorrow at the invitation of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. I have no idea what Bibi was thinking, but I know what Biden is thinking.
He’s going to Israel hoping to look like a tough guy, and hoping you’ll forget about his weakness and failures.
He’s going because he needs the American people to forget our open borders.
He needs us to forget his botched retreat from Afghanistan.
He needs us to forget the communist Chinese spy balloon he allowed to fly over America.
He needs us to forget that there is an Iranian spy operation in our government led by people he hired.
What is harder for me to understand is what was Bibi thinking?
If he thinks that by being nice to Biden now, our barely cognizant president will stick by Israel when this war gets ugly, well, Bibi’s not been paying attention.
And I say that as someone who knows Netanyahu fairly well, and as someone who is a great admirer of his previous ambassador to the United States, Ron Dermer.
But I haven’t forgotten that the Obama/Biden White House tried to destroy Netanyahu’s political career.
Not long ago, there was great value in the world seeing the president of the United States and the prime minister of Israel standing together, shoulder to shoulder. But the world doesn’t have much respect for this president.

"France in the Daily Brief"
Hello, Sara!
Thanks for mentioning this important item in your bulletin. We need prayer. I don’t need to tell you that France is loaded with Muslims and of course some are very radical.
I did not go into Paris as planned last Saturday, after the Hamas former leader had called for Jihad everywhere. This incident now and especially with Macron (for once) being strong (I personally do not like Macron or his politics!!) but this will definitely cause big problems in the weeks to come! You can be sure that with this the radicals will be preparing attacks.
We need to pray that the Lord will expose these horrors before they take place. People are starting to ‘wake up’ now, but this will bring strife of course, and especially in Germany and France.
Thank you so much once again for your work… Praise God!
In Christ,
J.L.

Orionid meteor shower peaks this weekend:
How to get the best views
|
|
The Orionid meteor shower will peak this weekend. Here's when to get the best view.
The Orionid meteor shower will peak this weekend as Earth bursts through a field of dust and debris left in the inner solar system by Halley's comet.
Although the Orionids are active from Sept. 26 through Nov. 22, the best time to watch will be in the early hours of Saturday, Oct. 21, when around 23 "shooting stars" are expected per hour, according to the American Meteor Society. The precise peak is at 1 a.m. EDT (0500 GMT), with shooting stars from this medium-intensity shower striking Earth's atmosphere at a swift 41 miles per second (66 kilometers per second), or around 148,000 mph (238,000 km/h).
The Orionids, which NASA describes as one of the most beautiful meteor showers of the year, can appear anywhere in the sky. However, they will seem to originate close to Betelgeuse, a famous red giant star in the constellation Orion.
Shooting stars occur when meteors rub against air particles, creating friction and heat that vaporize the meteors to create bright streaks of light across the sky, according to Space.com. Read More

"God Didn't Design Us to Hate":
Former Hezbollah Fighter Now Ministry Leader Recalls Encounter with Jesus
|
|
In early October, Afshin Javid was visiting Israel with his ministry Cyrus Call, which promotes friendship between Persians and Jews. But like millions of others, he found himself in the middle of a war when Hamas launched a bloody attack on Oct. 7. As a former Hezbollah fighter, Afshin himself is no stranger to violence. He sat down with CBN News to tell his story. "I was on my way to the United States to convert Christians to Islam, and I had 30 illegal passports at that time. I was arrested and put in jail in Malaysia. I was a dedicated Muslim who not only prayed the prayers, but I read the Koran once every ten days cover to cover. So I was very dedicated in my time in jail," Javid said. "One day, as I'm praying, a man appears in front of me – normal size, but his being shines like light. This light is not a normal light. This light carried identity in it. And you knew that he is holy and instantaneously, I knew I am not. Even though I had prayed so many prayers, even though I had fasted so much and I had read the Koran and I had volunteered to work on landmines or I had participated in hanging people trying to please Allah, I knew, even though I have kept all the rules and regulation of Islam, I knew I am not just and I'm not holy and I knew the only just thing for him to do is to kill me," he recalled. "But I didn't want to die. So I ran to the corner of the room, literally held my head in my arms, and just cried out, shouting, 'Forgive me, forgive me, forgive me,'"Javid said. "And I didn't think he will forgive me because he is just.
"Still, I felt a touch on my left arm, and he said, 'I forgive you.' And I felt the weight just lifted off me. And I knew I'm forgiven, but I don't know how. And I was confused. Still, I say, okay, I don't understand. Only God can forgive, but you just forgave me. You are God, but you are a different God than the one I have studied about. This is not Allah. So who are you that forgives me? And he said, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life,' he continued. "And I thought, That's very powerful. It means a lot because as a Muslim, you pray 'Show me there's a straight path.' And so the way is a direction. Truth is something you measure. Life is a source, but he claims to be all those three. I never thought the way is a person. The truth is a person, and life is a person, and all of them is the same person," Javid explained. "So I said, 'I don't understand what is your name?' And he said, 'Jesus Christ.' And it was as if someone grabbed all my bones out of my body. I just fell like a piece of meat to the ground. And I just began to weep," he told CBN News.

Please pray in agreement with (converted muslim) Javid's powerful prayer;
- "The creator of heaven and Earth, God Almighty. You love the world, the whole world, all the people of the world. So much that you sacrificed Jesus Christ so that we will not perish but have eternal life. I pray today that the revelation of Jesus Christ would go forth amongst the Muslims and the sons of Ishmael. Father, I pray that you would remember that covenant with Ishmael, that you would go forth because Ishmael is thirsty for the revelation of love, for the revelation of Jesus Christ, for the revelation of salvation. Father, I pray that there would be a hand of protection that would protect Isaac on every front, not only in Israel but all around the world. Give us visions, dreams, and wisdom to speak peace in this war, in Jesus's mighty name I pray. Amen."
- "That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give onto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened". (Ephesians 1: 17-18a)

All the Way my Savior Leads me
To listen to this classic hymn, CLICK HERE
Words: Fanny Crosby
Music: Robert Lowry
Scripture: The Lamb…will lead them to springs of living water. Revelation 7:17
Lyrics:
All the way my Savior leads me;
What have I to ask beside?
Can I doubt His tender mercy,
Who through life has been my guide?
Heav’nly peace, divinest comfort,
Here by faith in Him to dwell!
For I know, whate’er befall me,
Jesus doeth all things well;
For I know, whate’er befall me,
Jesus doeth all things well.
All the way my Savior leads me,
Cheers each winding path I tread;
Gives me grace for every trial,
Feeds me with the living bread.
Though my weary steps may falter,
And my soul athirst may be,
Gushing from the rock before me,
Lo! A spring of joy I see;
Gushing from the rock before me,
Lo! A spring of joy I see.
All the way my Savior leads me
O the fullness of His love!
Perfect rest to me is promised
In my Father’s house above.
When my spirit, clothed immortal,
Wings its flight to realms of day
This my song through endless ages—
Jesus led me all the way;
This my song through endless ages—
Jesus led me all the way.
