Weekly Update by Mark Armstrong – October 13, 2023

Greetings from Tyler,

It was the only thing that hadn’t gone wrong.  At least there was no war in the Middle East.  But, suddenly, there is.  Maybe this wasn’t thought all the way through.  Did the terrorists not know the wrath their inhumane actions would unleash?  Now they can watch Gaza get blown up.  Large segments already have been.

Americans who haven’t lived in the society of those who sneaked into Israel have no idea about the mindset of these people.  It’s a society where hatred is king.  The more hatred they can drum up, the more successful they’ll be in their society.  If you want to know what they did, you’ve come to the wrong place.  Do people not know the  savagery that defines them?  By their way of thinking, there’s nothing they can do to equal the injustices visited upon them.  The fact of Israel’s existence is the supposed reason for their rage, generation after generation.  Or they might just be crazy.   

In order to understand the depths to which some individuals will go, you have to realize they’re schooled in it.  And it’s their religion.  It’s non-stop on their TV channels, a fact of life, and even in the cartoons.  Allah has spoken, and will not stand by and be insulted.  It’s been going on forever.  But a fuse has been lit with this sneak invasion.  

For years now racism has been the worst thing going.  It’s just about the worst accusation (in woke society) there is.  But liberals have traditionally argued the Palestinian cause.  The Palestinians are drenched in racism.   “Intellectuals” are  saying this war is all Israel’s fault.  Hatred is taught unabashedly in the schools, at home and in the mosques.  From the time children are old enough to talk they parrot back the talking points.  The more they thirst for revenge, the further they will go.  Western minds have a hard time grasping such depth of hatred.  

Everything else will now take a back seat.  This war might well spread.  It already has as missiles are being fired from southern Lebanon, opening another front.  Let’s hope Jordan and Egypt stay out of it, or this could be the one that gets out of control.

We can’t help wondering if Iran is in the mix.  The missiles, the speedboats, the training.  The media are already linking money released to Iran with this terrorist action.  The pretender’s team is saying that money was designated for humanitarian purposes and has not been touched.  Since when do we pay ransom?  There will be Americans getting kidnapped all the time!  

Terrorists don’t wear uniforms.  They can blend back into the civilian population, and they do.  The next thing we’ll hear is how Israel is killing innocent civilians.  Israel delayed it’s ground offensive and told the residents to evacuate.  The Arabs have been beating their breasts for forty years and longer about how heartless and brutal Israel is.  There’s no atrocity they can commit to even the score.  It is borne of a hatred we can scarcely understand.

Beheadings, bodies blown to bits, torture…  No one can imagine the pain of families with lost loved ones, especially when they know they endured suffering at the hands of these animals.  There are reportedly photographs that will break the heart of anyone who sees them.  We’re supposed to look, and experience the heartbroken rage against those responsible.  No thanks.  

Iran is denying they had anything to do with the sneak attack that killed a thousand civilians and took hostages back into Gaza.  It may have been a big mistake to carry off American hostages who were attending a music festival near the border.  There’s video circulating.  Maybe you’ve seen the guy who played dead in the bushes and avoided the fate of those rounded up or shot.  He says the terrorists were laughing, celebrating.  

The terrorists are calling for worldwide jihad.  Syria, Jordan and Egypt are making statements that are less than reassuring.  Israel already bombed airport facilities in Syria to prevent arms being forwarded to Gaza.  

Believe it or not, one publication predicted that the weakness of the incoming administration would result in another Middle Eastern war.  It was the Spectator in Australia.  If you want to see what they said we’ll link it here.  I don’t think this is the big one, but who knows where this will go?
