  1. This young lady, and tons more like her is why I think there will never be peace between Israel and the Palestinians. She is a perfect example of a Palestinian child poisoned into hating the Jews from birth.

    “Ahed Tamimi arrested for incitement after “We will drink your blood and eat your skulls” threat

    Ahed will get some media attention, but with the war raging in Gaza after Hamas’ barbaric attack, I doubt she’ll get star treatment for her latest “Shirley Temper” outburst as she has in the past.”

    “We previously reported on a threat posted on Instagram, by Palestinian Media Darling Ahed Tamimi: “What Hitler did to you was nothing. We will drink your blood and eat your skulls.”

    Please read that post for background on Ahed, nicknamed “Shirley Temper” because of her regular outbursts since early childhood for the cameras. While she’s now an adult and is fully responsible for her actions, she is the product of a destructive and manipulative propaganda machine by the Tamimi Clan and anti-Israel activists in the West, such as Ariel Gold formerly of Code Pink. For details on this child manipulation system, see our 2017 post, Ahed Tamimi case is about child exploitation by anti-Israel activists.”

    “Over the years, Ahed became more violent as she grew older. In an incident that garnered international attention, she previously was arrested in her late teens for hitting and kicking an Israeli policeman as part of a carefully choreographed provocation directed by her mother:”

    “[YouTube age-restricted the video, which has been on YouTube for several years without restriction, after I posted it here. Funny how that works. Anyway, here it is.] https://legalinsurrection.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Ahed-Tamimi-Hits-and-Kicks-Israeli-Soldiers.mp4

    “This set off a long “Free Ahed” orchestrated campaign, in which Code Pink and Gold – with a shout out from Hamas, were active:”

    “There even was a take over of Grand Central Station in January 2018 in support of Ahed, with Gold and others chanting for an “Intifada” (sound familiar?):”

    “Ahed eventually was convicted and spent a few months in prison, further raising her international anti-Israel status.

    Ahed also issued a call to violence:”

    “And the Tamimi Clan continued to falsely portray themselves as peaceful, Media should stop whitewashing Ahed Tamimi’s terror-supporting family.

    So here we are with the call to drink blood and eat skulls.

    That has resulted in an arrest for incitement. ”

    Read the rest. It’s a tragic story of the sins of the parents being indoctrinated into their children intentionally. You can’t have peace with such a mindset.

  2. So the question is, were the news services aware of this, and did they allow it? Also, were they or their “reporters” aware of the attack that was imminent and not report it to authorities? The media needs to answer for this.

    “Report: Photographers From AP, CNN, NYT, Reuters Were With Hamas on Oct. 7

    “Was it coordinated with Hamas? Did the respectable wire services, which published their photos, approve of their presence inside enemy territory, together with the terrorist infiltrators?””

  3. Should the GOP compromise on abortion to win elections?

    I say no, some principles are more important than winning elections. What good is selling your soul to win? We have enough of that already.

    https://honestreporting.com/photographers-without-borders-ap-reuters-pictures-of-hamas-atrocities-raise-ethical-questions/

    “On October 7, Hamas terrorists were not the only ones who documented the war crimes they had committed during their deadly rampage across southern Israel. Some of their atrocities were captured by Gaza-based photojournalists working for the Associated Press and Reuters news agencies whose early morning presence at the breached border area raises serious ethical questions.

    What were they doing there so early on what would ordinarily have been a quiet Saturday morning? Was it coordinated with Hamas? Did the respectable wire services, which published their photos, approve of their presence inside enemy territory, together with the terrorist infiltrators? Did the photojournalists who freelance for other media, like CNN and The New York Times, notify these outlets? Judging from the pictures of lynching, kidnapping and storming of an Israeli kibbutz, it seems like the border has been breached not only physically, but also journalistically.

    AP: Photojournalists or Infiltrators?
    Four names appear on AP’s photo credits from the Israel-Gaza border area on October 7: Hassan Eslaiah, Yousef Masoud, Ali Mahmud, and Hatem Ali.

    Eslaiah, a freelancer who also works for CNN, crossed into Israel, took photos of a burning Israeli tank, and then captured infiltrators entering Kibbutz Kfar Azza.

    HonestReporting has obtained screenshots of Eslaiah’s now-removed tweets on X in which he documented himself standing in front of the Israeli tank. He did not wear a press vest or a helmet, and the Arabic caption of his tweet read: “Live from inside the Gaza Strip settlements.”

    This shooting was very near my grandson’s dorm. There was a prayer vigil and Cece Winans sang a song, since she happened to be on campus. I haven’t heard the victim’s present condition, but she was very critical, so prayers are needed.

  6. The abortion question has long been debated. If I can save some, should I refuse until I can save all? That is another way to put it. There is no compromise on stating the scientific facts about the human being in the womb. Nor what is the most loving thing to do for the mother. No matter the circumstances of conception, she will never become someone who was never pregnant. One can agree on legislation that furthers the saving of some lives without compromising truth. That is the nature of much legislation.

  7. What Kathaleena said.

    Roe v Wade was the law of the land for decades, many people know nothing else. While the Dobbs ruling, I think, was legally correct and certainly welcome to those of us who lament our ‘culture of death’ as I believe Colson once referred to it, the abrupt change brought with us a cultural challenge.

    We live in a pluralistic society so neither “side,” if you will, is going to get everything it wants. We do not live in a dictatorship. And our culture is nowhere near a full pro-life understanding, though most would agree to some barriers when it comes to abortion.

    Some in the pro-life movement proceeded toward a full “no abortion” ever position which was untenable right out of the gate (and perhaps always will be too far for many in our culture).

    Some accommodations are needed and there should be discussions about those as each state works through that. Some will go the way of Ohio — perhaps many, from the sounds of it. Others will go to the other extreme — no abortion for any reason under any circumstance. I think I saw where there will be 11 states taking up these issues (so far, there could and likely may be many more) in the 2024 election cycle.

    When the Dobbs ruling came down, we, as believers, were grateful and relieved for a just ruling. But many of us also knew that was just a beginning and working out the realities — politically and culturally — would take time and probably be messy in a culture that was no where near a biblical understanding of life.

    As believers, we don’t compromise on “life.” But as citizens of a secular nation, we realize there will be, by necessity, limits to be hashed out and that will be complicated, and without a perfect solution.

  8. Yes. Better to craft compromise ballot initiatives that will pass and save some lives than than idealistic initiatives that will not pass and therefore save no lives.

  9. Meanwhile, the church will continue to work with persuasion and clear right-and-wrong thinking and principles to reach hearts and minds within the culture.
