Revealing More of the Israel-Hamas-Palestinian War

We offer ‘Too Much Information’ (TMI) on purpose; so, we advise readers to take in only what they are able to digest, and leave the rest…

The major news focus for the past few weeks has undoubtedly been on the Middle East and especially the outbreak of war after the invasion of Israel. It is hard to escape either the news or someone talking about the news, or saying they don’t want to talk about the news since it is too depressing. Indeed, it is hard to deal with the news one way or another. And, Hamas provoked Israel into war by the magnitude of the grisly horror of the terrorists who invaded this nation on behalf of Hamas. It is interesting that Hamas has officially declared that they had any intention of killing innocent babies, children and women. It is said that one of the first casualties of war is the truth, and in this case the lies are overtly obvious.
In the LightWing Messages on Sunday, we offered perspective on the situation as it unravels in Gaza and in Israel. The effort of offering news and information on some days seems futile, and one can wonder whether regular people care to learn the truth anymore – or whether truth has become trivialized amidst the glut of information one receives on an hourly basis. In that edition,
It dared to express:
In our time, good people have to confront the evil in their midst, and confront means to deal with what has come before them, whether in one’s own self, one’s family, or in the outer society and world. This truth holds for the recent attacks upon the nation of Israel. The images of atrocities committed during the invasion of Israel by Hamas terrorists are hard to suppress; yet they are screaming to all people of the world. The attacks upon innocent babies, children, and women was murder. And, murder is murder, no matter how twisted a narrative one wants to attach to it. Those who try to claim that this was an act of faith by followers of Allah are liars. It is doubtful that there is any truth within them.
The point is that there are terrorists who claim to be followers of Allah in order to gain whatever demented, devilish, and self-centered victory that could be claimed. And, if claimed for Allah, they cannot claim to have any understanding of who God is. They use the name of God in vain, and that is a serious violation of the Ten Commandments. Murder is also. They bring down the wrath of God upon themselves. Those who cannot see this also may also share in common with the terrorists a serious lack in knowing God and His Providence.
However, another scary concern is not so much the terrorists themselves, but the many people in the Land of the Free that celebrate and condone such barbarity – and there are many. If one could step out of the political ties that bind (if it is even possible) and take a different view of the tragic reality one might be able to use reason to understand this horrific situation instead of blind adherence to ideology or political persuasion. And, what I am going to share as a different point of view is not normal, but incidents have stemmed from such mindless actions.
Suppose there is a football game and one is a fan of the home team. And due to frustration in how the game may be going, the opposing team calls upon a militia group to enter the arena to shoot all of the home team and any fans who had cheered for the home team. A bit of a stretch?
It is an apolitical event; yet, wars have erupted in South America over a soccer tournament. The question is real simple: Would this be a case of mass murder or not? Many would not like the analogy, yet the point is that it only becomes murder in the eyes of many when it is not political or when it is a time of war. So, murder is not murder according to the terrorists and according to the ones who lend their voices in defense of the murderers. Liars and murderers deserve one another.
This edition of our CPR - Lifeline Advisory zeros in on the horrors that have unfolded in Gaza and in Israel due to the terrorist attacks upon a sovereign nation. There are several angles one can examine this conflict from and history would be one, religious history another, as well as the geo-political alignment and intentions of the major global players regarding this tiny region of the Middle East. However, the feature article we offer comes from a very experienced journalist and one who sees such events from a wide perspective. Our article is from Judy McLeaod, the editor of the Canada Free Press and is titled: “God Help Us Against Ravaging Hamas, Their Fawning Media Shills and Shameful Elected-To-Public-Office Supporters” She has a very insightful view of the current horrific events unraveling since the invasion of Israel.
This edition only offers a single featured article because we have encountered some obstacles lately in getting our newsletters out to our readers. We are also attempting to keep information flowing despite serious restrictions from Google. The article is current and offers a reflection on some of the realities in the current political arena.
The Coalition for a Principled Republic exists as a grassroots alliance, or association of groups of patriots connected via common lines of communication and shared information and focused on promoting cooperative action on vital projects deemed compatible to organizations that seek to retain a Republic rooted in the shared ideals, principles, and values of our Judeo- Christian heritage.
The original guidance from Heavenly Father in establishing the CPR was to re-establish a covenant with Him, to establish and continually enhance lines of communication with Him and one another, and to establish community in the process of working together on projects worthy of investment. We hope our CPR readers are with us in such a quest. We seek alliances with others of like-mindedness; so, if readers belong to like-minded, organizations, we request consideration as affiliated or partnered arrangements to work together. Divided the Republic could falter; but United, “We the People” will stand!
We hope readers would find value in our newsletters; our efforts may serve a greater purpose, and we always hope that they are worthy of the investment of time and energy for all involved, our various volunteers who make this possible as well as our valued readers. Moving into the end of 2024, our efforts will continue to be conscious of the data we are using per the Google delivery rules.

Joe Biden, whose policies allow potential terrorists in over the unprotected southern border with millions of unvetted migrants gaining entry to the U.S. by day, says and does nothing.
God Help Us Against Ravaging Hamas, Their Fawning Media Shills And Shameful Elected-To-Public-Office Supporters
By Judi McLeod ——Bio and Archives--October 18, 2023
Only God Almighty can help us now that post- Christian Society has reached the stage where oh so many celebrate death—violent death—more than life.
Within days of the brutal attack on civilian life in Israel, hundreds of thousands of students across Europe and North America were, and still are, out on campus and on the streets waving flags in praise of the brutal Hamas mass murderers.
Brainwashed beyond possible awakening by a public school system where their genders are changed and surgeries that mutilate them, pro-Hamas students are lavished with praise by the pro-terrorist media of our current day.
From Dementia Joe to dauntless Savior in one fell swoop
The same old, same old Democrat-influenced American media that has been portraying Joe Biden as suffering through his presidency with debilitating dementia, now dares to present him to the world as the savior of Hamas-ravaged Israel.
In effect, the media which depicts him falling up the stairs of Air Force One, now has him bounding athlete-like up the stairs to save the terrorist stricken people of Israel.
From Dementia Joe to dauntless Savior in one fell swoop.
Dementia is not Biden’s main problem, Barack Obama speaking through him, and handling his every move, is.
Obama is no friend of Israel and neither is his corrupt-ridden 3rd Term in office, Joe Biden.
Cunning supporters and fans of fanatical terrorists always come at us through the media hiding behind the cover of lies, sometimes with the help and protection of their own governments.
Liberal MPs join with NDP and Bloc to stop committee asking CBC executives why they won't call Hamas terrorists
Here in Canada:
“Liberal MPs join with NDP and Bloc to stop committee asking CBC executives why they won't call Hamas terrorists. (Toronto Sun, Oct. 17, 2023).
“A coalition of political parties came together Tuesday to protect the CBC from scrutiny over its policy of not calling Hamas a terrorist group.
“Conservative MP Melissa Lantsman denounced Liberal, NDP and Bloc Quebecois MPs who voted to shield CBC executives from having to appear before the Public Accounts Committee to face the kind of tough questions their reporters put to politicians.
“The Conservatives had sought to hear from CBC President Catherine Tait and George Achi, the Crown corporation’s director of journalistic standards. It was Achi who issued the memo to all CBC journalists in the early hours of the shocking Hamas terror attacks that started over Thanksgiving weekend.
“Despite the brutality of Hamas’ crimes, Canadians were shocked to discover that the CBC has been advising its journalists not to use the word ‘terrorist’ when referring to Hamas. The CBC refuses to do this in spite of Hamas being recognized as a terrorist organization for over 20 years by the Government of Canada,” Lanstman said after the coalition of the unwilling ensured CBC was safe from uncomfortable questioning.
“Hamas was designated a terrorist group in 2002 under the Liberal government of Prime Minister Jean Chretien. No government since then has changed the designation, but CBC refuses to use the term to describe Hamas for what they are — a terrorist group that killed babies, old people, unarmed concert-goers, and raped women and took hostages.
“With “friends” like Joe Biden, Israel needs no enemies.”
“Do not refer to militants, soldiers or anyone else as ‘terrorists.’ The notion of terrorism remains heavily politicized and is part of the story,” Achi told CBC journalists as the attacks were still ongoing.
“Even when quoting/clipping a government or a source referring to fighters as ‘terrorists,’ we should add context to ensure the audience understands this is opinion, not fact. That includes statements from the Canadian government and Canadian politicians.”
“He even explained hat CBC’s style guide urges the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks to simply be referred to as attacks.
"Brazenly attacking civilians, seeking them out to push your political agenda is the definition of terrorism. It’s simple, it’s there for everyone to see, except for the CBC and their protectors in the Liberal, NDP and Bloc parties.”
And now in the mighty U.S., we have Joe Biden media-propagandized as the Democrat Party’s latest Obama-like Messiah.
As Frank Gaffney over at Center for Security Policy says, “With “friends” like Joe Biden, Israel needs no enemies.”
“On the eve of Biden’s self-invited visit to the Jewish State, our Center for Security Policy Senior Fellow Caroline Glick has issued a searing video indictment that exposes his fraudulent professions of support for Israel’s right to self-defense and his administration’s serial betrayals of our vital interests in the region.
“For example, before Biden’s arrival, his Secretary of State, Tony Blinken, held seven hours of struggle-sessions with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s War Cabinet. Its express purpose was to compel the Israelis to allow the resupply of Hamas under the cover of “humanitarian assistance.” If they don’t, they’ll be denied urgently needed U.S. bunker-busting weapons essential to the destruction of the terrorists’ buried targets in Gaza while minimizing civilian casualties.”
Biden can not even walk down the hall to remove the Palestinian flag from in front of the office of Squad member Rashida Tlaib
It’s more than moronic for the mainstream and social media to try to make us believe that Joe Biden, repeatedly seen tripping up and down aircraft stairs is now running as the hero of the moment in Israel when Biden can not even walk down the hall to remove the Palestinian flag from in front of the office of Squad member Rashida Tlaib.
Although the media calls Rashida Tlaib and other members “The Squad”, they are Democrats.
“Ilhan Omar Claims 10 Year Old Photo From Syria Is of ‘Hundreds of Dead Palestinian Kids’-(Daily Presser)
“Ilhan Omar, the Democratic representative in Congress for a suburban district in Minneapolis, has long been advocating for the removal of “disinformation” from public discourse concerning pertinent issues.
“However, this policy seems to be only applicable to “disinformation” which she personally disagrees with. This was made evident over the weekend when she spread false information regarding the war between Hamas and Israel which began a week ago.
“According to Israeli Defense Force reports, an estimated 1,200 people were killed in the initial attack by Hamas terrorists including babies who were decapitated.
“In response to this tragedy, Omar posted an image of children lying dead on a floor wrapped in white with accompanying text indicating 614 Palestinian children had been murdered by Israeli Occupation Forces.
Joe Biden, whose policies allow potential terrorists in over the unprotected southern border
“Constitutional expert and legal commentator Jonathan Turley noted that Omar has long been a leading proponent of censorship and speech regulations in order to combat disinformation.
“Her recent offense was posting a picture purportedly showing children killed by Israeli forces, when in reality it was from a 2013 sarin gas attack in Ghouta, Syria.
“Turley argued that this incident should serve as an example of how free speech allows for its own disinfectant – bad speech is countered by better speech as the public judges what is true and what is false.
“The New York Post reported on Omar’s post after fellow Democratic Socialist Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warned about the high level of misinformation circulating online concerning the Israel-Hamas war.
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee addressed Representative Omar, stating that “spreading misinformation blaming Israel for the deaths of children in Syria a decade ago is dangerous and irresponsible.”
Joe Biden, whose policies allow potential terrorists in over the unprotected southern border with millions of unvetted migrants gaining entry to the U.S. by day, says and does nothing.
That this is the man who the media claim is going to save Israel is truly a sick, rather than a dementia victim, joke.

Savages, Civilization, Israel, and the West
By Richard Moss MD
One should resist the temptation of separating Hamas from the Palestinian people. There is broad popular support for Hamas in Gaza; they were elected overwhelmingly in the one election held. Palestinians embrace acts of terror by Hamas and other Muslim terrorist groups. They celebrate them. If Hamas had the wherewithal to do to all of Israel what they did in the southern part recently, there would be ecstatic merrymaking for months.
The Palestinian terrorists chose the timing of their massacre of the Jews strategically. It was the fiftieth anniversary of the beginning of the Yom Kippur War, in 1973. It was also a Jewish holiday that comes at the end of Sukkot known as Shemini Atzeret/Simchat Torah, a celebration of the renewal of the Torah reading cycle. They knew the Israelis would be resting or in prayer, cell phones off, and not prepared for an attack. And so, they celebrated by slaughtering some 1400 innocent Jews, men, women, children, and babies.
There is a sociopathology amongst Palestinians, particularly those living in Gaza, but elsewhere as well. Embracing victimhood, they are also ready to strike out with extreme violence, as the world has seen. They are among the most subsidized people in the world, pampered and indulged by the “international community,” receiving billions of dollars in aid every year, a form of protection money. They are also the darlings of the media, NGOs, aid organizations, the EU, and the UN. With all this attention and coddling for so unworthy a cause and people, their violent tendencies well known, and especially with so many other conflicted and underserved areas of the world, is there any wonder they act as they do? They are the terrorist equivalent of spoiled children and know the world will support them, regardless of how heinous their actions.
Israel left Gaza in 2005, thus ending the “occupation.” In 2006, Palestinians voted Hamas in over the Palestinian Authority. In June of 2007, Hamas launched a brutal takeover of Gaza and massacred their Muslim compatriots in the Palestinian Authority by hurling them off roofs, shooting them in the head in front of loved ones, or dragging them through the streets chained to cars. They are a recognized terrorist organization that calls openly for the destruction of the state of Israel and do not recognize Israel’s right to exist. An offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, they seek not just the death of Israel but all of Christendom and the West and to create a global caliphate.
But Hamas is merely a reflection of its people. It is not, as it is often portrayed, of poor Palestinians dominated by the kleptocrat terrorists that form Hamas. Not at all. The people are Hamas. They embrace and support Hamas.
Gaza and the Palestinians should be a wild success story. They receive tremendous amounts of aid, are beloved by the West and the liberal establishment, and doted on by the media and the UN. They enjoy a favorable climate, pitched on the Mediterranean Sea as they are, with gorgeous beaches and neighbors to a highly intelligent, dynamic people that can readily employ them. They themselves are known to be an industrious, innovative people. So, why do they not flourish? Because like Hamas, the Palestinians are obsessed with death and killing, and not building a lawful, thriving, civil society. Combine that with equal measures of self-pity and hatred, and you wind up not with Miami on the Mediterranean, but Mogadishu.
It is also odd that Israel is portrayed in the media as a villainous oppressor over the pathetic, helpless, long-suffering, poor Palestinians. One would think that the Jewish people have some claim to victimhood, not that they want or need it. But isn’t it the case that the Jews are the most victimized people on earth and through history? And not the poor Palestinians? For the last 2000 years, since the calamitous Roman war of annihilation against the Jews and destruction of the Temple in 70 AD, Jews have largely been a stateless, ghettoized people subject to the will and whim of the surrounding Christian or Muslim majority. They have endured expulsions, pogroms, massacres, ghettoes, second class status, and a minor item known as the Holocaust.
Just the raw numbers alone, should suggest the absurdity of the fantasy of Jewish oppressors.
There are half a billion Arabs and nearly 2 billion Muslims. And 16 million Jews. There are 22 Arab nations and some 50 Muslim nations. And one Jewish state, barely a pinprick on the world map. How could a single tiny Jewish nation, Israel, scarcely the size of the state of New Jersey, a mere 6 miles wide at its waist, in a sea of Arab and Muslim nations, dominate the Middle East – or come to abuse the Palestinians? Well, it doesn’t. But the world is obsessed with Israel, its every miscue and misstep, its very existence, the leftist media having long ago abandoned the one nation and people most in need of some commiseration. Indeed, Israel is the David against the Arab/Muslim Goliath and the Palestinians are the political football used to attack it.
There are common terms adopted by the Left to condemn Israel and to define the Arab-Israeli conflict with such nomenclature as “colonialism,” “expropriation,” “apartheid,” or “occupiers,” as if the Jews had no claim to the Holy Land and did not have a presence there for nearly 4000 years. This is the language used against our own nation and others such as Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, but particularly America, based on their European or Western or, let us say, “white” origins. It is a farcical attempt to racialize Israel and portray it not as Jewish but white, to better align with neo-Marxist theories. It is bogus for any number of reasons wherever deployed but in particular in regards to Israel. Israelis may be white, although many Sephardim (“Spanish” or “Arab” Jews) are “swarthy,” and some are actually black (the “Falasha” or Ethiopian Jews). But Israelis are first and foremost Jews and they are the indigenous people of the land.
As we observe the raucous support for Hamas occurring on our streets, college campuses, and capitals, what are we to make of our own policies, in particular our wars in the Middle East, and then immigration? How many Gazas have we imported into our own country because of misguided policies? How many Jihadis have we allowed into our nation and on our college campuses? How many 9/11s await us, how many slaughters of the innocent will we have to mourn, here, and the West in general, before we awaken to the self-inflicted wounds we have committed? Will we recognize the damage done, begin deportations, end student visas from various Muslim nations, and reconsider our reckless immigration policies?
There is such a thing as Just War, which includes the defense of one’s people, especially after repeated attacks. Few question the wisdom and morality of Dresden or Hiroshima and Nagasaki despite the enormous civilian casualties. Israel has every right to defend itself, destroy its enemies, despite significant civilian casualties. If Hamas and the world are concerned about civilian casualties, they can unconditionally surrender and leave Gaza, otherwise accept the responsibility for the death and destruction that is coming. Israel must abandon the absurd “Two State Solution” and “peace process,” and embrace instead a “One State Solution,” not to commit genocide as Israel’s enemies would, but to control and administer its territories. This will include Israel proper, Gaza, and the West Bank (Judea and Samaria), allowing “Palestinians” some autonomy and self-governance but under Israeli control.
Israel is the canary in the coal mine. What has happened there has and will come to us again. The West, including the US and Europe, and then Israel, must awaken to the threat of Islam and take appropriate measures. Do we have the will to live? To do what is necessary to survive? Or are we too decadent and corrupt? We shall find out. Out of the ashes of Auschwitz and the Holocaust, the modern state of Israel was born. So must it and we be reborn again.
