Comment on PODCAST: ‘Iran Tries To Restore Regional Balance; Israel Continues To Murder And Get Away With Murder’ by Juvenal Early https://barelyablog.com/podcast-iran-tries-to-restore-regional-balance-israel-continues-to-murder-and-get-away-with-murder/comment-page-1/#comment-36311 Mon, 22 Apr 2024 08:22:21 +0000 https://barelyablog.com/?p=165338#comment-36311 And just in time, we’ve now got a new bipartisan aid package, for Israel and for Ukraine. Endorsed by Donald Trump even, who refers to Speaker Mike Johnson as MAGA Mike. Evangelicals won’t lend one sympathetic ear to the plight of Palestinian Christians, the oldest surviving Christian community on Earth.

The GOP has gone from being worthless to actively colluding with evil (well, hell, they’ve done that before). Evangelicals have gone from supporting Israel to enthusiastically endorsing genocide of other Christians (well, they’re probably the wrong kind of Christians, right?). The Democrats have stayed consistent. Consistently evil. The American People have remained consistent. Consistently supine.

About all we can hope for now is Divine Intervention.

Comment on GAZA: (Oct 7-Apr 12, 2024): Total Warfare: War Against Civilians Is War On Civilization. But Jewish Israelis Approve by chris m (a idiot) https://barelyablog.com/total-warfare-in-gaza-war-on-civilians-is-war-on-civilization/comment-page-1/#comment-36123 Fri, 29 Mar 2024 17:34:41 +0000 https://barelyablog.com/?p=164397#comment-36123 hi Ilana
nice to see you …again

je sais (in French) know this is completely and off-track regarding the above article
(but then what could you expect from an idiot such as myself)

PS back to your article but the sight of little ole Israeli children wrapping themselves in the Israeli flag
does look to me like the most disturbing of many images.
it’s a kind of inverse morality (of the most extreme kind)
(probably no different from abortion, as far as i can see)

(PPS my grasp of the English language is extremely limited,
so please forgive me my ineptitude)

but always wondered if you are still using Facebook/Meta the Government tracking device
cant say i ever did,

before its creation there was some sort of relative harmony between its various inhabitants,/peoples

since then, well….

Comment on Douglas Damien Murray For IDF Beefcake & Other Such Creepy Curiosities by Jim Wetzel https://barelyablog.com/douglas-damien-murray-for-idf-beefcake-other-such-creepy-curiosities/comment-page-1/#comment-36021 Sat, 16 Mar 2024 15:28:58 +0000 https://barelyablog.com/?p=165211#comment-36021 As an American Christian, I am deeply and heartily ashamed of the huge numbers of (alleged) American Christians who serve as the Likud chorus. Mindlessly repeating vile slogans about Hamas “hiding behind human shields,” covering mass-scale criminal horrors with lying euphemisms about “finishing the job” and “taking them out” … there are very many who one day will hear my Lord and Redeemer say, “Depart from Me; I never knew you.”

The collapse of the American global empire cannot come soon enough.

Comment on UPDATED (12/17): NEW COLUMN: Gaza Vs. Fallujah: Just How Vampiric Are The ‘Vaunted’ Israel Defense Forces? by Ted https://barelyablog.com/new-column-gaza-vs-fallujah-barbaric-blitzkrieg-highlights-us-marines-superiority/comment-page-1/#comment-35823 Sun, 18 Feb 2024 14:56:31 +0000 https://barelyablog.com/?p=164567#comment-35823 Hi,

It is unbelievable dear lady. One thing that is strikingly inaccurate is the numbers regarding killed and injured. Two common terms used in warfare though what is being perpetrated is not warfare and the volumes of people who have been starved to death, crushed under rubble and murdered via lack of healthcare or medicine is unimaginable. When the ridiculously low estimates of people who are dead it is yet another antidotal lie that flies in the face of reality and enables the slaughter to continue.
Can anyone really believe that if 1.5 million or more are displaced over 4 months ago with only the clothes on their backs and whatever they could carry has had a 15% casualty rate. No food streams nor potable water would kill more than that even without the bombs. Sally said add a zero onto the reported casualties. Which likely would could without unreasonability calculate doubling even that number. I can type it is abominable behavior for a society to undertake such actions.
I can understand how most people choose to not partake of the blood lust that Likud has started. I was flabbergasted when I heard a woman of whom I had respect for state on national television ( let Israel do what it has to ) just beyond anything I would have expected a human to say.
What could a grade school of children have done to deserve cruel death let alone thousands of children. Wickedness on high Ilana is the time and how any military could pursuit such is beyond comprehension. Stop. Rank and file IDF, those are humans not darn grass to be mowed and obliterated. When You meet your maker ( I was following orders ) won’t cut it. Believe it. Think how to stop the madmen from killing everyone. That is not necessary yet almost certain on current course of actions.
Mercy shown unto the merciful, forgiveness unto those who seek it and atone. To kill unarmed civilians is not acceptable conduct and regardless what is said by anyone you know better. Stop it immediately: so much trauma will already have to be dealt with that adding to it is ridiculous for any educated society.

It is a tragedy that she has to continue to add to it. I realized this morning that this…whatever it is, operation? is now in its fifth month. Like Ukraine, it seems like it will never end. Like Vietnam (my first experience of endless war), the whole thing threatens to become background noise, as much a part of our daily lives as the air we breathe. And thus, unfortunately, easy to take for granted (Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia). Thank God for the people who refuse to take it for granted, like Code Pink, like ilana Mercer.

I’m as guilty as anyone of tuning out the ongoing atrocity. It shouldn’t be tuned out, not if you’re an American. As usual, we’re in way too deep. So I’m grateful for this blog (and a few others), to get me back up to date. In 4 days, we’ll take note of 2nd anniversary of the current “special military operation” in Ukraine (the wider conflict, as Putin said recently, really began in 2014, Nuland handing out cookies in Maidan Square, and all that). Hard as it is to believe, we are on the verge of global war. Especially as these two conflicts grow together.

And at the root of it is our beloved US. In our name, our leaders continue to do the wrong thing, say the wrong thing. The blood on our hands is incalculable. And its only through principled journalists like Glenn Greenwald and Gonzalo Lira (RIP), LIKE ilana Mercer that we have access to the truth.

Unfortunately, that is no longer the case and has not been for some time.

Speak about the issue of this blog: Genocide in Gaza, of Gazans, courtesy of Israel. Quit hiding behind and repeating this mumbo-jumbo. I posted your litany ONCE. Now address the issue. Grow a moral spine. Murder.

I reached out to WND in an email, and also Trib Live, over a week ago. Trib Live is in the Pittsburgh area I believe. I was seeing if they could help me find the column where Pat Buchanan said Pentecost in Acts 2 is the birthday of the church. I haven’t gotten a response from either of these. With Trib Live, I went to some length trying to make contact. I called the Executive Editor. His voicemail was full, same with a Deputy Editor. I was able to leave a VM with another Deputy Editor, and also emailed and texted this one. But, nothing. Maybe though, I’ll still hear from someone. I was hoping with their tools, they could do a word search in Pat’s columns. Just “Pentecost” I think, would come up with the result. I mentioned before that the predominant dispensational view in Christendom is an Acts 2 stance. It is the case in Catholicism, non-Catholic Christian faith, and Protestantism. It’s a replacement theology. That Christianity has replaced God’s purpose with Israel or that God gave up on Israel and has been using Christianity to accomplish His purposes. It is doctrinally wrong. God has two programs in the Bible. One is His purpose using Israel and another purpose using the Christian Church (based on Paul-line doctrine). These purposes don’t contradict each other, they’re just different. There are some Acts 2 dispensational denominations who understand God will fulfill His promises to Israel, but their problem is they confuses themselves into God’s program with Israel. One example: II Chronicles 7:14 doesn’t have anything to do with anyone except Israel. It does not apply, at all, to any Christian church or Christian denomination or nation, save Israel. However, many in Christendom claim the verse and use it. Thank you, Ilana. Matt
