This is one of your best old man! Especially about the preaching, which is more like entertainment of kindergarten, definately no meat! Went to a flash looking church a month ago and it was all they could do to hold back the loopy squad from rampaging through the isles. I won't be going back! The rot starts at the head.
Your acerbic intuition is the best. I have to repeat, as a concise summary, what you said elsewhere - "If the Palestinians laid down their arms there would be no war. If Israel laid down their arms there would be no Israel.'(James Macpherson)
With the eyes of the world on Israeli atrocities, how does the world behave? Probably no differently since it has long supported the rise of the Israeli military colonial regime.

Roslyn, I can see you are extremely disappointed with James but may I suggest, his summary of the various global entities was spot on. I don't think he was suggesting too much support for or against Israel. I must confess, I am watching and waiting to see.... Shalom, Jim
I am so dreadfully sad to see you buy into the narrative so much. But I was prepared for this because you bought the Ukraine narrative hook, line and sinker.
The narrative is believing that's an issue. It's quite clear this is almost exactly the same playbook as Ukraine. There two sides with religious and historical links to the land, both are propagandised at a young age to hate the other side and the establishment (media, business, sport, politics, etc) all fall behind on one side and give them absolute support. The issue is who's funding this and why. That's a basic start point.
I pity the people who just want to get on with their hard lives, but have these armed madmen running their town and poking the bear next to them. Now they have nothing and nowhere to go.
If they had a wise person they would take their heads off and throw them over the wall, return the kidnapped and the retaliation would be over, but that sort of thing only happens in the bible.
Without the ability to get rid of their rulers their homes will all be destroyed.
Wow James! I read that in your voice in my head! What will Australia do? Of course we will sing The Voice and say “she’ll be right mate” as we blithely slip into the dark ages. I prefer you preaching on the Trinity, not too many are doing that any more
A great summary James. I imagine a lot of Palestinian’s living in the West Bank would be ok with the Israelis running the place. Lots already live in Israel and they certainly live in peace with their neighbours.
Thankfully Israel have had enough of the rest of the world and are just going to do what they need to do without caring what anyone else thinks. It’s about time!
Read Israeli human rights groups to find our how non-Jewish Israelis are second class citizens denied the same rights as Jewish Israelis. No, they are not happy. Why would they be having had their land stolen and denied full rights as citizens?

Roslyn, I found your comment most helpful and the link is brilliant! Thank you so much for adding this perspective, it is very much needed. Shalom, Jim
James I believe you have captured so well the appalling state of play in all areas of our world. Excellent article.
I think we can say the evil we see comes down to godless power hungry brutal mankind. Without the one true God in one’s life or society there is no grace, mercy or love for one another.
Jeremiah 17:9 ‘The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked. Who can know it?’ v10 ‘ I the Lord search the heart and examines the mind....’
As horrendous as the purveyors of evil are, as believers we know the ending of His-story for the Jewish believers and Christians 🙏🏻. Maranatha!
"Just remember, even Judas regretted his actions after he betrayed Jesus. It's important to be careful with our words and actions, as they can have lasting consequences."
That was a great summary, James. The bottom line is the same as it’s always been - no-one cares a toss about anyone else but themselves. They’ve all got selfish motives and goals and those who could stand by Israel are out will be too cowardly to do so. Talk is cheap. It’s action that counts. Thus condemnation of Hamas is always from a distance. Except for decent kind moral individuals that you find in all nations, most don’t like Israel secretly or openly and sooner than later any sympathy for Israel will slip into criticism and then outright condemnation. If there’s two groups of people they all hate, it’s Jews and Christians. Odd that!! Equality, inclusion and diversity are very exclusive.
It all began in the Middle East in Genesis and that’s where the Bible tells us it will all end. So the godless majority of world citizens can rage all they like, it is the God of the Jews and Christians who is in charge not them.
Indeed. Interesting that come that no one in the Arab world wants their Arab counterparts from Gaza or the West Bank just like when the War of Independence happened. It suits everyone to have an eternal refugee camp in and around Israel.

I honestly never thought you would support murderous occupation, colonisation and genocide of the Palestinians by Israel.
You have made so much sense on other issues and on this you are just bigoted and brainwashed. Is Tel Aviv funding your blog?

I’ll bite. What’s the narrative in which Hamas are not Islamic jihadists committed to the extermination of Israel?

Another amazing article Mac! Well written and insightful as always!
Thanks Bella
