  1. Sad story. There are thousands of these stories on both sides but Israel did not start this. The last 50 to 60 years who are the ones who keep attacking people. Between 1979 and May 2021, we counted 48,035 Islamist terrorist attacks around the world, which have resulted in the deaths of at least 210,138 people. France was the country most affected by Islamist terrorism in the European Union, with 82 attacks committed on its soil between 1979 and May 2021. At least 332 people were killed in these attacks. Significant Terrorist Incidents, 1961-2003: A Brief Chronology https://2001-2009.state.gov/r/pa/ho/pubs/fs/5902.htm If these Islamist terrorists would just stop the killing imagine how the world would begin to heal and maybe just maybe everyone could prosper. The problem is war is big business for America, Russia and China profiting off of weapons sales.
  2. Haha maybe they will make a movie or a Netflix series haha
  3. wow I had to enlarge what you wrote to 200% it was a very small font. Then again my eyesight is getting worse
  4. Yes that is what I thought also. I figured some would make great dumplings. Putting them on the grill sounds delicious
  5. https://www.youtube.com/@IsraelDefenseForces/videos I deleted the other video and put the Israel youtube channel here instead. You can access the video from there and a few others. The video that was here shows Hamas killing people so this is your warning. It is extremely graphic and shows them going through and hunting for civilians. I thought it was to graphic and didn't want to offend anyone so that is why I deleted the video but it can be watched in its entirety at the above Youtube link.

    Taylor Swift

    Hmm I believe Jessica Simpson already did the football field thing years ago. Taylor whatever is on the second squad. TDS is also strong with that one.
  7. Heartbreaking story from the sister of one of the victims of the Hamas terrorists.
  8. Here is a fact Fedup There were no Palenstine until the Romans made up that name to disconnect the Jews from their land and religion. It was called originally Judea Also the Jewsish people never stole any land from the Arabs.from 636 to 1947. The Arabs however have. Like I said watch the above video this man states facts.
  9. I do not see anyone complaining about the ethnic cleansing Christians and Jews in Muslim countries. Watch this mans video it may enlighten you if you are open minded but if not then prove this mans words wrong.
  10. https://bje.org.au/knowledge-centre/israel/history/historical-presence/ "Jews have lived in the land of Israel for nearly 4000 years, going back to the period of the Biblical patriarchs (c.1900 BCE). The story of the Jewish people, Israel, its capital, Jerusalem, and the Jewish Temple there, has been one of exile, destruction and rebirth. In its 3000 years of history Jerusalem has been destroyed 17 times and 18 times reborn. There has always remained a Jewish presence in the land of Israel and in Jerusalem, and the Jewish people as a whole always dreamt of returning to and rebuilding it." ********************************************** People always conquer land throughout the ages. Look at the US and the people slaughtered for it. Personally I do not support Palestinians who celebrate the beheading of babies and rape and torture of them. These types of people will kill every person who is not Muslim if they could and in fact they kill each other with the same verocity. Look at all the deaths around the world in the name of their God which coincidentally is basically the same God the Jews/Christians worship the God of David. Then the Prophet came to the Christians and then the Muslims and now the Jewish people are waiting for their prophet. So everyone got divided and this is what we have now. The only problem I see is that the one group has gone totally insane. I support Israel laying Gaza to waste and then rebuilding it into profitable and civilized areas instead of slums loaded with missiles. The people of Gaza should have used those funds to build a better infrastructure for peace instead amassing weapons and committing pure acts of evil. They bit the hand that fed them water, electricity etc. and now people want Israel to back down and think nothing happened. Screw that. People say it is Hamas but is also the people of Gaza who support them as you saw by them applauding these terrorist and then letting their children beat and torture Israeli children. Yea they are not at all innocent. It is time to end this madness and that is by destroying your enemy. Hamas and other Muslims who want Israel eliminated should all be sent to allah via the express lane. Just look at the last 60 years what these followers of that so called prophet have done around the world including in the US. It goes back further than that.
  11. David Ben Zion, Deputy Commander of Unit 71, told i24News that he had seen victims decapitated, including children. 'We went door after door, we killed a lot of the terrorists,' he said. 'We are stronger than them. They are aggressive, they are very bad. 'They cut heads off children, cut heads off women. But we are stronger than them.' As many as 40 babies and small children were killed, IDF soldiers told i24News after taking them to the scene of the atrocity. Harrowing images from the scene showed a baby's cot covered with blood; her small bloodied dress lying next to it. The Israeli soldiers were seen comforting each other after witnessing such horrors, including the bodies of entire families who were gunned down in their beds. 'You see the babies, the mothers, the fathers, in their bedrooms, in their protection rooms and how the terrorist kills them,' said Israeli Major General Itai Veruv. 'It's not a war, it's not a battlefield. It's a massacre, it's a terror activity.
  12. Missing child recovered by Punxsutawney Borough Police PUNXSUTAWNEY —Punxsutawney Borough Police received a report of a 16-year-old girl who was possibly being trafficked through the Punxsutawney area on Friday. According to Punxsutawney Borough Police, on Thursday Oct. 5, the Bedford Massachusetts Police Department and Massachusetts State Police requested assistance regarding a possible human trafficking victim in the Punxsutawney area. According to information provided by the Massachusetts Commonwealth Fusion Center, a juvenile female was last seen going to get on the school bus at 7 a.m. on Oct. 4, in Bedford, Massachusetts. The juvenile never attended school that day and did not return to her home in Bedford. The juvenile’s cellphone was found later that afternoon in a trash can located in a shopping center in Bedford. The juvenile was described as 16 years of age, of Guatemalan decent, approximately 4’11 in height, 150 pounds, with brown hair and eyes. Police said the juvenile is Spanish speaking, and speaks little to no English. The Bedford Police Department obtained video surveillance from the shopping center where juvenile’s cellphone was recovered. Through their investigation, the juvenile appeared on video getting into a gray SUV. The MSP High Risk Victims Unit was contacted and able to obtain a vehicle registration. Through their investigation, the driver of the vehicle of interest was later identified and told investigators that he was paid to drop the girl off at a downtown Mahoning Street business address in Punxsutawney. Punxsutawney Borough Police checked multiple apartment buildings in the downtown above businesses Thursday evening; however, they were unable to locate the victim. On the following day, on Friday, Oct. 6, Punxsutawney Borough Police received new information from the MSP High Risk Victims Unit that the driver was reinterviewed and now stated that the girl was dropped off on the 1000 block of East Mahoning Street and an adult male came out of a house and paid the driver $400. The driver also provided a phone number to investigators from the man he was paid by. An analysis of the victim’s recovered phone in MA revealed a phone number from the Punxsutawney area and was the same number provided by the driver. The cellphone was provided to the Jefferson County 911 Center, and data was able to be reported back to Punxsutawney Borough Police. Master Patrolman Ryan Miller and Police Chief Matt Conrad responded to the 1000 block of East Mahoning Street. However, a search of the area did not locate the juvenile. Following new information, Miller and Conrad then responded to a downtown restaurant where the missing person flyer provided by the MSP was shown to employees. The employees reported that they had not seen the missing juvenile. Officers went into the kitchen area of the restaurant where the juvenile was subsequently recovered, observed with a hat pulled down over her face, head down and washing dishes. The juvenile was positively identified via taking a cellphone photo and sending it to MSP High Risk Victims Unit. The juvenile hesitantly confirmed to being the person depicted in the missing person flyer. The juvenile was taken to Punxsutawney Area Hospital for any necessary medical care and to be evaluated by a physician. She was released to the care and custody of the Jefferson County Juvenile Probation Department, awaiting officials from U.S. Immigration and Customs. The investigation continues.
  13. Gallant: Hamas will soon realize it made a grave mistake, and will pay a heavy price Defense Minister Yoav Gallant threatens the Hamas terror group after it launched a murderous invasion in southern Israel today and fired thousands of rockets “It did not distinguish between women, children, and elderly, it harmed all of them. [Hamas] will soon realize it made a grave mistake, and will pay the price,” Gallant says in a video statement. “We will change the face of reality in Gaza 50 years ahead,” Gallant adds.

You know they are torturing all the men and raping all the woman no matter what their age. These scum need to be eliminated. I hope Netanyahu fullfills hi s promise when he said he vows to turn Gaza into 'rubble' If Biden does not help Israel then he is a useless coward who should kicked out of office. The same thing will happen here with all those millions of young men who have crossed the border. I fear this will definitely happen here and if so then God help them because they will die also. https://apnews.com/article/israel-palestinians-gaza-hamas-rockets-airstrikes-tel-aviv-11fb98655c256d54ecb5329284fc37d2 https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog-october-7-2023/

In addition to launching some 5,000 rockets and sending in ground forces to attack at least 22 locations, Hamas deployed paragliders, the Israeli army said Saturday.

  16. Texas sheriff warns that America is experiencing a 'silent invasion' of military age men Once they arrive in major U.S. cities, they are embedded with gangs and or cartel affiliates acting like a “Trojan horse,” Coe said. What's happening at the southern U.S. border with Mexico is in fact an invasion, Kinney County Sheriff Brad Coe says. “We’re experiencing a silent invasion of military age men,” Coe told The Center Square when describing what his deputies have been increasingly facing over the past two years. https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fjustthenews.com%2Fnation%2Fstates%2Fcenter-square%2Ftexas-sheriff-were-experiencing-silent-invasion-military-age-men%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR03_OKJPo0cgKSYIEcJu-EItAtqKmMrZwnlf5-En_urlJqoa6-ZpfvNnuQ&h=AT11HhAg-ZV09R5tEdanhIy2h-jlwME2gJZlkTdgGPVQyRocCFwfZBL-r54IQD2J-xrartQPV3tmWWUaF-8Sd1kT89MbC-wfyyEwukbmrTTxz0C-p3gi470cxArsdh3H2o1m&__tn__=-UK-y-R&c[0]=AT1nXm5AbMEV2vKBdHLS-6_cjrQmdAx8wqgTBadYMDBjLuV4ox5P_U0zIKzpoDaSqOUHuPfrgHgRm7OWMOd3QQb13Kkie_dotenCkTce7EZ8sA5otv6XD7Di18SaOzdzdUziJPS4AYA6GSzqhgaXIOAq5A5RWssyxRKVKahb8tGCcrxGJsWgkT8RcRO5AXTBaGtMZ9D_NDVGk_DI5Y-Z-Np6Q5OmGVwnivHez-f6cKM

    https://www.fema.gov/press-release/20231003/fema-and-fcc-plan-nationwide-emergency-alert-test-oct-4-test-messages-will FEMA AND FCC PLAN NATIONWIDE EMERGENCY ALERT TEST FOR OCT. 4; TEST MESSAGES WILL BE SENT TO ALL TVS, RADIOS AND CELL PHONES [https://www.fema.gov/press-release/20231003/fema-and-fcc-plan-nationwide-emergency-alert-test-oct-4-test-messages-will] Release Date: October 3, 2023 WASHINGTON -- FEMA, in coordination with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), will conduct a nationwide test [https://www.fema.gov/emergency-managers/practitioners/integrated-public-alert-warning-system/national-test-2023] of the Emergency Alert System [https://www.fema.gov/emergency-alert-system] (EAS) and Wireless Emergency Alerts [https://www.fema.gov/emergency-managers/practitioners/integrated-public-alert-warning-system/public/wireless-emergency-alerts] (WEA) tomorrow, Oct. 4. The national test will consist of two portions, testing WEA and EAS capabilities. Both tests are scheduled to begin at approximately 2:20 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Oct. 4. The WEA portion of the test will be directed to consumer cell phones. This will be the third nationwide test, but the second test to all WEA-compatible cellular devices. The test message will display in either English or in Spanish, depending on the language settings of the wireless handset. The EAS portion of the test will be sent to radios and televisions. This will be the seventh nationwide EAS test. FEMA and the FCC are coordinating with EAS participants, wireless providers, emergency managers and other stakeholders in preparation for this national test to minimize confusion and maximize the public safety value of the test. The purpose of the test is to ensure that the systems continue to be effective means of warning the public about emergencies, particularly those on the national level. In case the Oct. 4 test is postponed, due to widespread severe weather or other significant events, the back-up testing date is Oct. 11. The WEA portion of the test will be initiated using FEMA’s Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS) [https://www.fema.gov/emergency-managers/practitioners/integrated-public-alert-warning-system], a centralized internet-based system administered by FEMA that enables authorities to send authenticated emergency messages to the public through multiple communications networks. The WEA test will be administered via a code sent to cell phones. This year the EAS message will be disseminated as a Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) message via the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System-Open Platform for Emergency Networks (IPAWS-OPEN). All wireless phones should receive the message only once. The following can be expected from the nationwide WEA test: * Beginning at approximately 2:20 p.m. ET, cell towers will broadcast the test for approximately 30 minutes. During this time, WEA-compatible wireless phones that are switched on, within range of an active cell tower, and in a geographic area where the wireless provider participates in WEA, should be capable of receiving the test message. * For consumers, the message that appears on their phones will read: “THIS IS A TEST of the National Wireless Emergency Alert System. No action is needed.” * Phones with the main menu set to Spanish will display: “ESTA ES UNA PRUEBA del Sistema Nacional de Alerta de Emergencia.  No se necesita acción.” * Similar to when your phone receives an Amber Alert, the WEA alert tone is generally only played when the alert is initially received by the phone and on some devices stops as soon as the user clicks a button. * If a phone is off before the test alert is sent and not turned back on until after the WEA Test expires (approximately 30 minutes), the phone should not get the test message. WEA alerts are created and sent by authorized federal, state, local, tribal and territorial government agencies through IPAWS to participating wireless providers, which deliver the alerts to compatible handsets in geo-targeted areas. To help ensure that these alerts are accessible to the entire public, including people with disabilities, the alerts are accompanied by a unique tone and vibration. Important information about the EAS test: * The EAS portion of the test is scheduled to last approximately one minute and will be conducted with the participation of radio and television broadcasters, cable systems, satellite radio and television providers and wireline video providers. * The test message will be similar to the regular monthly EAS test messages with which the public is familiar. It will state: “This is a nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System, issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, covering the United States from 14:20 to 14:50 hours ET. This is only a test. No action is required by the public." NOTE TO BROADCAST OUTLETS: Please do not include the tones or Attention Signals in broadcast TV or radio coverage about the Nationwide Emergency Alert Test being conducted on Oct. 4, 2023. Doing so could result in a violation of federal regulations, which prohibit the use of Emergency Alert System codes (which are audible tones) or the EAS and WEA Attention Signals, or simulations of them, except in actual emergencies, authorized tests of the EAS, or authorized Public Service Announcements (PSAs). Â
  18. We all remember March 2020, when we were placed under lockdown due to the government’s pandemic regulations. Unless you were deemed essential, you stayed home. Schools closed. Businesses shuttered. Entertainment venues went silent. In some places, you weren’t allowed out of your home except for certain times of day – and if you had a pass. Initially, we thought it would just be a matter of days. Days turned to weeks. Weeks to months. Now, 3 years later, we can look back in amazement that the government managed to get us to stay home for so long. Well, the powers-that-be remember, too. And now there is talk that they may use their knowledge that fear prompts public obedience to lock us down again. This time instead of flattening the curve, we will be told we are saving the earth. Climate lockdowns have been discussed for a few years, but, in recent weeks, there has been an increasing push for President Biden to declare a “climate emergency,” giving him enhanced statutory powers that can be renewed over and over again. I don’t want to be an alarmist, but as you will see, all signs point to this IS coming. See for yourself. Let’s Start at the Source: The WEF The idea of climate lockdowns, not surprisingly, begins with the World Economic Forum. The organization has been pushing for a climate-based economy for some time now. In fact, Klaus Schwab’s daughter, Nicole Schwab, is leading the charge for this type of economy. (You can see her thoughts in this video clip.) The scary thing is, the WEF believes it can convince the public to stay home to reduce carbon emissions. This shouldn’t come as a surprise though. Global elites, governments, and local leaders learned a lot about what the public will tolerate thanks to COVID-19 – and, now, they’ve sharpened their tactics to get people to bend to their will. In 2021, Yuval Noah Harari, an advisor to the WEF, proposed stopping all flights and locking down entire countries as a means to make people “more open to radical ideas about how to deal with climate change.” In a 2022 article on the WEF website entitled ‘My Carbon’: An approach for inclusive and sustainable cities, they write, “COVID-19 was the test of social responsibility – A huge number of unimaginable restrictions for public health were adopted by billions of citizens across the world. There were numerous examples globally of maintaining social distancing, wearing masks, mass vaccinations and acceptance of contact-tracing applications for public health, which demonstrated the core of individual social responsibility.” The idea is to push “climate lockdowns,” like COVID lockdowns, as well as “My Carbon” initiatives where the public faces increased costs for carbon-intensive activities. Fear tactics, such as tracking and surveillance, would help make climate lockdowns successful. But they may not even have to use that much force to get us to go along with their plan. Get this: A new Pew Research Center survey in 17 advanced economies found widespread concern about the personal impact of global climate change. 80% of citizens polled say they are willing to change how they live and work to combat the effects of climate change. Back in March, filmmaker Ami Horowitz released a video where he asked average Americans on the streets of LA if they’d support a Covid-style lockdown to bring CO2 levels down. And guess what? Almost everyone interviewed agreed climate change is one of the top issues facing humanity today, AND they were open to climate lockdowns if that would help save the planet. Watch Ami’s video here. The Push for Lockdowns in the US It might come as a surprise that US legislation has already been introduced. In 2021, Oregon Rep. Earl Blumenauer introduced legislation (Climate Emergency Act of 2021) that was co-sponsored by 62 congressional Democrats. This bill would “require the President to declare a national climate emergency under the National Emergencies Act, and for other purposes.” Require the president. That verbiage comes directly from the bill. According to the bill: “The President, in responding to the emergency, must ensure that the government invests in large scale mitigation and resiliency projects; makes investments that enable a racially and socially just transition to a clean energy economy by ensuring that at least 40% of investments flow to historically disadvantaged communities; avoids solutions that increase inequality or violate human rights; creates jobs that conform to labor standards that provide family sustaining wages and benefits and ensure safe workplaces; prioritizes local and equitable hiring and contracting that creates opportunities for marginalized communities; combats environmental injustice; and reinvests in existing public sector institutions and creates new public sector institutions to strategically mobilize and channel investments at the scale and pace required by the national emergency.” While nothing happened with this piece of legislation, it is out there. And, in recent weeks, the pressure has been mounting for Biden to take action. The truth is, Biden doesn’t need this congressional bill to pass. He can just sign an executive order declaring a “climate emergency” that would grant him powers needed to force lockdowns and the rationing of energy AND food. That is, unless Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va) and other Republican lawmakers get their way. The Senator has reintroduced a bill that would prevent Biden from issuing such a declaration. According to the Senator’s site: “The proposed legislation would prevent Biden from using three primary statutory authorities available (the National Emergencies Act, the Stafford Act, and section 319 of the Public Health Service Act) to declare a national emergency solely on the basis of climate change. “The bill would not prevent Biden from acting on other national emergencies or major disasters, including hurricanes, flooding, etc.” The White House’s Stance Back in July, lawmakers said “the White House informed them it was considering the emergency declaration, though it had not yet decided whether to take the step.” Karine Jean-Pierre, the White House press secretary, told reporters on July 19, “The president is going to do everything he can to take action. This climate emergency [decision] is not going to happen tomorrow but we still have it on the table.” During an interview on August 9, Biden was asked: “Are you prepared to declare a national emergency with respect to climate change?” His answer: “I’ve already done that. [...] practically speaking, yes.” He also added that climate is “THE existential threat to humanity.” And last week, the president called climate change “an emergency” and said: “In the coming weeks, I’m going to use the power I have as president and turn these words into formal, official government actions through the appropriate proclamations, executive orders, and regulatory power that the president possesses.” Mounting Pressure for the US to Declare a Climate Emergency For some in Congress, Biden isn’t doing enough. Senator Ed Markey (D-Mass.) recently urged Biden to use his emergency authority to enact strong climate change measures. Markey told Politico, “In the absence of congressional action it is critically important he [Biden] use all of his powers.” In a July 20 article, The Los Angeles Times posed this question: Would an occasional blackout help solve climate change? The article argues that living with an occasional blackout would be an acceptable inconvenience to fight climate change – even though a Los Angeles energy official said that “someone dies every time we have a power outage.” In addition to progressives pushing for Biden to declare a climate emergency, he is also being pressured by other countries. The UK-based news source The Guardian printed an opinion piece on July 27, 2023, titled “Joe Biden must declare a climate emergency. And he must do so now.” Gas and Oil Execs Anticipate a Declaration Another sign climate lockdowns are coming is that the U.S. energy industry fears this will be the case. US Oil and Gas Association President Tim Stewart recently told Just the News, “They're leaning in that direction. [….] If you grant the president's emergency powers to declare a climate emergency, it's just like COVID.” Just the News adds, “Stewart also said such a declaration would give the president ‘vast and unchecked authority to shut down everything from communications to infrastructure.’ He said infrastructure would include water and electricity, and that Biden also could freeze assets under such a declaration.” The UN Created a Climate Emergency Web Page Another sign this may be coming is that the United Nations created a web page specifically for a “Climate Emergency.” The opening reads, “The science is clear. The world is in a state of climate emergency, and we need to shift into emergency gear.” And the White House cooperated with the UN to make it. See it here. What Biden’s Presidential Emergency Powers Can Do According to the Congressional Research Service, presidential emergency powers “may be exercised in the event that the nation is threatened by crisis, exigency, or emergency circumstances.” In other words, President Biden is legally allowed to use his presidential right to declare an emergency (aka a Climate Emergency). Politico reports, “Experts say Biden could invoke the 1976 National Emergencies Act to give himself the power to order the manufacture of clean energy technology, deploy renewables on military bases, block crude oil exports or even suspend offshore drilling — though that would require compensation to the owners. Though the law limits emergency declarations to one year, it could be renewed annually to address the increasingly troubling impacts of climate change.” There are 136 potential powers available to the president upon declaring a national emergency. Most notable among them is a 2015 law that allows the president to restrict the export of crude oil during a national emergency. What a Climate Lockdown May Look Like To have a better understanding of what may be coming, let’s go straight to the source. According to the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, “As COVID-19 spread earlier this year, governments introduced lockdowns in order to prevent a public-health emergency from spinning out of control. In the near future, the world may need to resort to lockdowns again – this time to tackle a climate emergency. […] Under a ‘climate lockdown,’ governments would limit private-vehicle use, ban consumption of red meat, and impose extreme energy-saving measures, while fossil-fuel companies would have to stop drilling. To avoid such a scenario, we must overhaul our economic structures and do capitalism differently.” Again, they are pointing to COVID lockdowns as a way to say this is possible. Climate lockdowns may look like this: Gas rationing Electricity restrictions Limits on air travel and domestic travel Taxes imposed for driving Forced work from home (or employers taxed significantly) California-style rolling blackouts across the country (See LA Times asks should Americans be forced to face electricity blackouts over ‘climate change’) Online-only days for school (already occurring in Delhi, India, for smog pollution) Bans on buying new gasoline-operated vehicles or tools Use What We Learned
