Israeli News thread

[Shocker]

From now on Ill post unfolding events following the nation state of Israel.

Things are starting to come apart in the middle east, this is not a good thing.

Nations everywhere are experiencing uprisings, something is happening behind the scenes but we must keep our faith..

This is not a thread to talk about "spiritual" Israel, which are Christians, we are simply watching to see what events unfold in the territory in the middle east known as Israel inhabited by the people who identify themselves as Jews.

Some people call it doom and gloom, I think they fear what is coming more than God.

Some who claim to be Christians, but are afraid of being tortured or having their head cut off..

You gotta watch out for those guys..
