    Today former head of Hamas and one of the founding members, Khaled Meshaal, called for every Muslim to form and join protests on Friday next and specifically for Muslims in those countries bordering Israel the hint/instruction 'you know what to do'. Which is presumably intended to provoke mass border crossings into Israel and so a bloodbath.

    The date chosen by this person is this coming Friday, 13th October, the anniversary of the Fatima apparition and one anticipated with some apprehension by many Catholics expecting some kind of punishment for the Synod.

    Is the October 13 Chastisement coming?


    It's worth reminding ourselves that Hamas was founded specifically to eradicate Israel and empty it of Jews by any and all means. The fact that the people of Gaza voted for Hamas meant that the Israelis banned cross-border movement (previously permitted). When your next door neighbour swears to burn down your house and murder you, it leaves little room for 'accompaniment'.

    Hello Steve, Do you believe that Islamic radicals will cause civil unrest in Europe in the coming weeks as a way of waging war against the Jews and the West?

    If news of this call for action spreads far and fast enough to gain real traction, we will see serious trouble especially, I suspect in France most notably. Not long to wait to see what actually happens.

    I cried watching accounts of the massacre and butchery of Israelis by Hamas militants. The accounts by parents in a terrible state over their dead or missing children. It was heart rending. But as garabandal said, two wrongs don't make a right.

    That is true. But I think the retribution by the IDF has been more than enough. All sides need to lay down their arms now. The genocide of innocent palestinian children and women is abhorrent.

    I think Rick Wiles does a very good job of showing the plight of the innocent children and families in this video. Starting at around 32 minutes.

    Lord have mercy upon your children. Wars are a punishment for sin. Lord, forgive us our sins. Look not upon our sins but on the faith of your people, and spare these children. O Mary, refuge of sinners, intercede for us.

    And then there is this From Spirit Daily ... :eek:
    Hamas Leader Vows Global Domination, Eradication Of ‘Treacherous Christians’

    A senior Hamas commander has warned that his terrorist group sees domination of Israel as only the beginning – as Israel took its revenge on Hamas for the death of 900 of its citizens in this weekend’s attacks. The dead included 11 Americans, Joe Biden confirmed on Monday. ‘We believe in what our Prophet Muhammad said: “Allah drew the ends of the world near one another for my sake, and I have seen its eastern and western ends. The dominion of my nation would reach those ends that have been drawn near me.”Al-Zahar said he believes ultimately the whole world will fall into line with their views.

    ‘The entire 510 million square kilometers of Planet Earth will come under [a system] where there is no injustice, no oppression, no Zionism, no treacherous Christianity and no killings and crimes like those being committed against the Palestinians, and against the Arabs in all the Arab countries, in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and other countries,’ he said.

    I was just reading Fr. Gordon MacRae's latest post, some interesting points

    On October 7, 2023, the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, attacked the Nation of Israel with an ongoing barrage of long-range missiles. At this writing, the Israeli death toll exceeds 1,000 with thousands of others critically wounded or missing. Many Israeli citizens are being held hostage under Hamas death threats. Just weeks earlier, the Biden Administration “unfroze” $6 billion in Iran assets in exchange for Iran’s release of five prisoners.

    Many believe that the payment of such ransom to belligerent regimes increases the likelihood of a rogue state continuing to take hostages and hold them in Iranian prisons. Many others believe that these funds were ultimately used to supply and help launch the Hamas attack on Israel. The Wall Street Journal has since reported that Iran is indeed behind this attack and plotted it along with Hamas for weeks.

    I am worried about Friday. If militant islamists launched attacks in our towns and cities we are completely unprotected. We have had a huge influx of refugees of unknown origin into our country. My local little town has a population of 800 people and we have had 400 refugees brought in in the past year. I know a few who are Ukrainian and they are good people. There are a lot of single men who we have no idea about.
    It's a scary feeling

    We must continue praying for God to mitigate these attacks.

    Up at 5.30 this morn on way to work. The stars were magnificent. The morning star was really ablaze, so bright. The moon veiled in shadow with the crescent pointed down shining out. Is the sickle about to strike? Who knows we shall see. I woke up thinking about the rugby World Cup in France. Let's pray nothing horrible is unleashed

    The morning star has been bright for a few weeks now….especially in tandem with the crescent moon. Yes, we must keep praying against evil.

    You were unlucky and just missed the Draconid meteor shower which occurs every year at this time. The skies are perfect to see them.

    Hamas is in receipt annually of millions (billions?) of dollars in aid, it is one of the world's largest recipients per head of aid. It has not used one dollar of this aid to build civilian bomb shelters and although they have an extensive underground tunnel network, this is not offered for civilian protection. Much of the aid is clearly spent on arms. In addition Hamas intentionally position their control centres and top personnel in the midst of civilian areas which has two purposes: 1. To discourage Israel from attacking the most valuable targets and 2. If they do, to be able to claim large numbers of civilian casualties and 'prove' the cruelty of the Israeli government.

    Israel are in a lose/lose situation and Hamas is clearly cynically using their own people as human shields.

    Not seeing this reported yet in MSM, but reports coming now that Israel just bombed airport in Damascus. Apparently Iran had a flight headed there and then turned around. Escalation for sure.

    Does anyone remember an ex-Muslim who gave an interview on a Christian program and said that one of the biblical names of the antichrist was “the Assyrian"? Much of the Middle East will look like the ashes of post-World War I Germany after a regional escalation.

    I am advising my loved ones to stay away from large gatherings on Friday and the weekend. To be vigilant wherever they go, but of course that's advice for every day.
