I believe this current war in Gaza will morph into the Gog/Magog War of Ezekiel 38/39. Sheba and Dedan (Saudi Arabia/U.A.E), Merchants of Tarshish, and all the young lions (Collective West) thereof, will of course protest this impending invasion to take a great spoil and prey. The interesting thing to note is that these Western powers will obviously have to be in the region as they view the Gog/Magog alliance assemble and prepare to advance.
A difficult subject, it is shrouded in mystery,
there is so much uncerain, like,


1, Is Gog and Magog the names of nations or individuals?

2,Is the battle physical or spiritual?

3,Has it already occured?

Depends on who you ask, would reckon.

Then show how it is not true.
By the very definition of "burden of proof", I do not have to.

As I said in #2405, once you understand that concept, your misconceptions will clear up.

Using the hospital to...

get treatment for wounded hostages and Hamas fighters? That does not make the hospital a military target.

What other use do you have evidence for?
A terrorist from Hamas’ “Nukhba Force” and a terrorist who participated in the October 7 massacre were captured in a school in the Rimal neighborhood of Gaza, Arutz Sheva reports.

“The terrorists were captured during a raid on the school on Friday by soldiers from the IDF’s 401st Brigade. During the battle, many Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists holed up in the school were killed or captured. The captured terrorists were turned over to Unit 504 of the Intelligence Directorate,” Arutz Sheva wrote.
Hospitals, schools, those are the kinds of places Hamas hides. There have been savage terrorists before, but I can't think of any other group that has displayed such cowardice.

Dropping 2,000 lb bombs relentlessly flattening whole city blocks might be considered cowardice too!

....on Christmas Eve, there is only darkness over Bethlehem and bombs reigning down on neighborhoods. My heart is heavy today for so many people who have no where to go.

“These rockets, it’s like they’re made to destroy mountains, not people,” said Mohamed Abu Shaah, who had taken shelter at an acquaintance’s house in Al Maghazi with his wife and seven daughters. In Al Maghazi, he said, the influx of the newly displaced meant that 20 people were routinely crowding into a single room to sleep at night.

It was the fifth time his own family had packed up and rushed to a new place after fighting and airstrikes threatened the place they had taken shelter.

“We are doing everything we can just to run for our lives,” he said.

So once more you refuse/are unable to present any evidence even though it is your claim (which you should be able to defend). Again, you demonstrate you fall into the category of 'propagandist' and therefor your posts should be looked at with total skepticism.

Or saving the lives of your soldiers.....which is a top priority of any civilized country in war. Do you believe that hamas would not drop 2000lb bombs on Israeli citizens if they had the means?

“This war is exacting a high price from us, but we have no choice other than to continue to fight,” Mr Netanyahu said as he opened the cabinet meeting.

“All the government and the people of Israel send our sympathies to the families of the heroes who fell in the war for our home,” he said.

PM Netanyahu and staff members have been spending time in a bunker since a mass power outage hit all over Israel. Israel carried out a targeted assassination of a Top Genereal of the IRGC or Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corp in southern Syria. Iran has threatened direct retaliation against Israel. Thousands of Iranian militia forces under IRGC command are gathering in southern Syria along the Golan Heights frontier along Israel's northern border.

Certainly Iranian troops have no business in Syria, they have attacked with rockets from Syria before. Once again Israel showed restraint by targeting a top Iranian general instead of blanket bombing.

Gog/Magog (Ezekiel 38/39) is being prepared and will gather in the Plain of Hauran adjacent to Damascus and the Golan Heights. The Lord God is gathering this confederation together to bring against His people Israel to bring Glory to His Holy Name.

Russia, Iran, and Hezbollah were fighting ISIS militants and other Sunni jihadist militias the United States and Israel arrned and protected in an attempt to overthrow Syrian President Bashar Assad. Russia, Iran, and Hezbollah continue this battle today against U.S. and Israeli backed jihadists in Syria.

Iran and Iran backed jihadists are set on genocide, they want to wipe first every Jew, then every Christian off the face of the earth. They relish killing and torturing babies, raping women, and they and their backers dance in the streets. What Hamas did was pure evil.

In advocating for the destruction of Hamas, a U.S.-designated terrorist organization, Netanyahu notes Hamas’s leaders have vowed to repeat the brutal Oct. 7 attack “again and again,” writing, “That is why their destruction is the only proportional response to prevent the repeat of such horrific atrocities. Anything less guarantees more war and more bloodshed.”

Netanyahu pledged to “continue to act in full compliance with international law” in destroying Hamas, but he noted the difficulty in doing so, as he claimed Hamas frequently uses “Palestinian civilians as human shields.” Netanyahu emphasized Israel tries to minimize civilian casualties, outlining ways he said it does so.

Some of the claims of babies being beheaded, rape, and others have been recanted as they are only propaganda. President Biden even lied about seeing such photos and admitted someone told him about them. In the fog of war propaganda is a tool used to gain support or public opinion for war like Saddam shutting down incubators in Kuwaiti prenatal wards during Desert Shield/Storm. Israel just followed the same playbook. It worked well. Most Israeli citizens in the Kibbutz were killed by IDF tank fire, machine-gun fire, and hellfire missiles fired from Israeli Apache helicopters. It's called the Hannibal Directive where Israel will not negotiate with terrorists and will kill their own citizens being held hostage or used as human shields by terrorists. They deployed this same tactic during the 2006 war with Hezbollah. Whatever works I guess!

Israel has been killing Iranian troops and militias for several years in Syria without any response from Iran. Israel was doing this to prevent the arming of Hezbollah in Lebanon but also to protect Sunni terrorists they supported to overthrow the Syrian President. So then it appears Iran was looking for some justice and reprisals for these targeted bombing campaigns from Israel. Russia allowed Israel to carry out these attacks against Iran in Syria however, I believe those days are numbered. I believe Russia will soon start shooting down Israeli warplanes breaching Lebanese and Syrian airspace.
