Arab murderers sitting in prison should be executed to free up those guarding them for battle. If the judges interfere, Bibi should declare martial law, arrest them and be dictator. Otzma Yehudit officers should be put in charge. Democracy is a peacetime luxury Israel can ill afford.
I disagree. HAMAS are Muslim Brotherhood, Sisi’s arch-enemies; and in that, he is a friend of Israel. Maybe the Chinese could use them.

Hi, Edgar.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it were far more than 9,000. My wife mentioned it in passing, earlier in the day or last night, I think noting that it was a 6.3 — a very big quake in the ME, (considering the flimsy construction of houses).
As for predicting it, you can see that I personally was speaking about earthquakes yesterday at 6:26 PM, JT(?) I hadn’t heard any reports of any; John Posobiec, a regular contributor on Steve Bannon’s War Room, said that the HAMAS attack marked the beginning of a new “first turning” in the natural 80-year biological “saecula” (q.v.), a time of wars fought over the rearranging the world into a “new world order”.
Previous times like this occurred in 1933 (the inflection point between WWI an d WWII, corresponding with the ascent of Adolf Hitler), 1853 (the run-up to the Crimean War, the Taiping Rebellion and the US Civil War) and 1773 (events leading up to the US War of Independence). You probably recognize these as times of “lurches in history”, wherein social institutions had broken down so much that wars were fought to establish new boundaries.
I’m still only beginning to answer your question. I personally do not think I have a “Prophet’s” calling; I just observe things, and sometimes do a little math. I do know that astronomical events, like a total solar eclipse over a certain area, coinciding with major aspects among the outer planets, are “signature” times of new beginnings. Such an event is due Saturday AM, Oct. 14 2023. That fits in well with Posobiec’s observation, and coincides with the current HAMAS-Israel proxy war (as well as ongoing proxy wars in Ukraine, the Sahel and perhaps a new kinetic war over the South China Sea).
If you read the Bible, you have probably noticed the frequent mention of “voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.” I call these “punctuation marks in heaven”, which serve as “chapter” breaks in God’s narrative. Naturally, I expected the major dawn of a new era, such as that noted by John Posobiec, would be accompanied by considerable earthquakes and weather changes; so I started enquiring into the matter.
I still haven’t answered your question. All of the above was confirmed in the prophecy by Hank Kunemann

Shalom shalom
MIchael-I read thatfar more than 3,000 were dead, actually it said “over 9.000” but this may have been a first, hasty estimate.
About your mention of a recent prophesy, would you please tell us when was “recent” and who was the perspicacious person who made the prophesy.
It was remarkable indeed.
Earthquake in Afghanistan. At least 3,000 dead
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/09/afghan-earthquake-survivors-sleep-amid-rubble-death-toll
This was recently prophesied. The Taliban (who rule Afghanistan), just the other day, asked the governments of Iran, Iraq and (I believe) Syria to allow them transit for their fighters to fight Israel in concert with HAMAS.
Monday 8pm: The death toll has risen to at least 900 and 2600 injured. The details of the number of captives are known, but these will not be made public until the families have been contacted.
Sunday 7:36: The death toll has been updated to 700, 2,156 injured, and dozens are in Hamas captivity in Gaza.

How soon?
A 600 death toll is, PER CAPITA, over SIX TIMES deadlier than the 9/11 attacks (again, per Capita).

Live updates – Israel at war: At least 350 killed, dozens kidnapped, 1,864 injured
as of Oct 8, 2023, 6:53 AM
Saturday 8:00 PM: Air raid sirens were activated in Ness Ziona, Rehovot, Herzliya, and various other communities. Less than ten minutes later, a second barrage was fired toward Ramat Gan, Kfar Chabad, Yavne, Rishon Lezion, Tel Aviv, and other areas. Magen David Adom reported hits and injuries in Yavne, Givatayim, Bat Yam, Beit Dagan, Tel Aviv, and Rishon Lezion.
Three people were seriously injured by one of the barrages on central Israel. At the same time, a building in Bat Yam was reported hit by the barrage; no one was injured, but damage was caused.
Following this, the IDF reported that it is striking a number of targets belonging to the Hamas terrorist organization in Gaza.
The barrages were fired as Jews around Israel celebrated the Simchat Torah holiday, and in many cases disrupted the holiday prayer services.
Parallel to the rocket attacks, dozens – perhaps hundreds – of terrorists infiltrated multiple Israeli communities, overtaking Israeli towns on the Gaza border and murdering Jews in nearby cities as well. Initial reports were that these attacks left at least 100 Israelis dead; an 10:10 p.m. update raised the number of dead to 250.
Israel’s Health Ministry reported that 1,104 injured Israelis have been evacuated to hospitals. Of these, 17 are in critical condition, 200 are in serious condition, 226 are in moderate condition, 451 suffered only light injuries, 11 suffered shock, and 142 are being evaluated.
Sunday 2:10 AM: Israeli Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan remarked on the attack: “Today is Israel’s 9/11 moment. Life for us will never be the same after today’s vicious terror attacks by Hamas terrorists. 250 murdered Israelis is the equivalent of over 8,000 Americans. When we say never again, never again is now. May God bless the State of Israel.”

What’s interesting is that the Russians didn’t know until the Ukrainians told them at the end of the call and they all laughed about it. Just goes to show you what a fake nationality Ukrainian is and that this is a civil war we’ve stuck our snouts into.
Even the food. I’ve eaten in Polish and Ukrainian restaurants and could detect no discernible difference. I used to eat one that just says Polish/Ukrainian. It’s all Russia which is diverse. Not for us to meddle. Though it inspires some great music from Chopin so it’s all good.

Speaker McCarthy stunned speechless as he is removed as Speaker….It has been a good day.
Seriously, I see that old pal Singer is at it again. A real Pollyanna. As usual he takes 2-3 unconnected excerpts from political speeches, and makes a goulash from them.
This time , along with a few “maybe” and “could”, he adds that Hamas and the PA have agreed to go along with it and not interfere.
His main basis is that Netanyahu said that he has tried many ties to make peace with the YESHA mamzerim (not in those exact words of course) and that Ben Salman did not mention them as being a hindrance to peace, so David extrapolates and sticks his own “interpretations” to it.
A kind of not-religious “interpolation”, at which he has become an expert..
Glad to know that my love letters to Marilyn Munroe will not be used to blackmail me, or publicized for the general public. Nor those to Raquel Welsh
Their replies burnt holes in the note paper.
Ted,
It’s nice to know you have a dependable techie friend. I imagine God has one as well — maybe Michael the Archangel, who helped out when Gabriel was in a tight spot with the Prince of Persia.
HACKED? Sorry, No.
Israpundit was taking far too long to load. Two experts suggested I should upgrade my server which I did in June 2023. It helped a bit but not by much. I asked another techie to fix a couple of minor problems which he did but those issues were not the problem and then everything fell apart and we couldn’t even load Israpundit at all.
In the course of our investigations, we discovered that there was a confusion between the old server which I hadn’t cancelled yet, and the new one. After further investigation my techie recommended that we return to the old server even though I had paid for another 9 months for the new server.
He found reasons why the loading time was so long in both servers. And recommended that we restore the old server which we did and everything is working now and loading time is extremely fast.
The whole exercise of changing servers and struggling with the problem was very costly and shouldn’t have happened.
The original problem was created when Israpundit first migrated to the old server a few years ago. Errors were made in that migration that greatly slowed the loading time. My current techie methodically sent through all the details and identified a number of fixable problems. Once fixed everything was fine and loading time was fast.
So, from the Soup Nazi to Visa Denial, seriously? Which, of course, opened the door to Holocaust minimization – they can’t really say it didn’t happen with a straight face, anymore – by our enemies and people who just want to piggyback on the outrage, which actually has the opposite effect in the long run of simply taking away the outrage. It’s like grade inflation. Employers aren’t stupid. A college diploma isn’t worth any more than a high school diploma used to be. Reality will always win in the end.
Actually, the earliest example of this I’ve encountered was when during the war of independence in 1948, Albert Einstein one-sidely denounced Jewish violence and called Begin a Jewish Nazi as he called for a bi-national state. And they wanted to make this “Cultural Zionist” (like Herbert Samuels) President!

@Edgar In the Senate, I think it was just the two of them.

I know he opposed the Iran deal but he was not the only one. I surmise that they can’t forgive him for having been so blatantly caught involving others also…..
@Edgar Menendez is hardly the sole corrupt Democrat in Washington. I think they can’t forgive him for having opposed the Iran Deal. Schumer they found a use for. Maybe they didn’t have anything on him though they have shown no reluctance to manufacture evidence. After both caved. It was just the two of them.
@Sebastien. I watched the speech. It was time well spent.
That’s why I want regime change in Washington.

a NEW Novavax COVID vaccine is being put on the market in Canada and likely the safest and best of them all.
I wonder why they go to all this trouble when Ivermectin is freely available -if allowed.
I wonder if PHARMA could be behind this…./
I see that Senator Menendez of New Jersey has been indicted on charges of corruption, bribery and much more. Particularly he is associated with Egypt, but his “talents” go further afield also.
Anything advantageous to Egypt_( as per Menendez) Is likely to be disadvantageous to Israel. He was in trouble before and jailed for 17 years , pardoned by Trump after 4 years,
Perhaps never did jail time at all. since the US political system is like a dozen intertwined corkscrews, who knows…….? AND 2/3rd of the Senate seats are to be voted on next year………….???? a couple of extra wins here with Trump in the hot seat, would change the US like butter suddenly becoming steel.
And naturally, Menendez is a DemocRAT.. His wife is also indicted being a willing “colleague”

Guess what!? All vaxx were mfg by military contractors managed by NSA and NIH (Fauci), and own 50% of the patents, doesn’t matter Pfizer, Moderna, J&J, and that begs the question, what do they have on Netanyahu to make him go first and sacrifice Israel to roll out the genocidal bioweapon ? Remember his blathering about “My friend, Bourla,I called at 3am to make sure we were getting it first!” Remember that? Bourla, the veterinarian…
Oh, the Corona “virus” is the COMMON COLD. But there are no viruses. Never has a virus, or c*vd been isolated.

SEB-
I still disagree. “greet the day WITH HOPE” makes perfect sense, and your version does not. Unless you declare that all the learned Philologists and English professors didn’t know their onions (an americanism).
It crept into the language through first. laziness,- a common American syndrome- and secondly through ignorance of correct speech, even grammar. Damon Runyon and others had their schtik of using the present tense for everything. Others, lower case letters only.
As I pointed out yesterday American have a language all their own, which resembles English, full of jargon, and American-isms. In fact each state almost had variations in pronunciations, and even meanings, often using words peculiar to that state only. .
Consider the sentence… “I would have hoped to have a chance” . I find this is absolutely NOT correct but almost universally used even by known authors. And further, it makes NO sense grammatically.
I feel THIS is correct “I hoped I would have had a chance”
Of course English itself progresses and keeps changing, but at a much slower and leisurely pace, where one can see how a new word derives from the older version.
Consider the English of Chaucer and Shakespeare to todays version..
Even in England, there are local dialects which are almost gibberish to the outsider. I experienced it myself when in Yorkshire. Didn’t understand a single word of the two men sitting in the bus seat in front of me.
”
I don’t care, it’s just a matter of chit-chat” as far as I’m concerned.
My own language was fashioned in 19th Century English of Thackeray, Jerome, Hornung, Wilkie Collins, Conan Doyle, Wells, Harrison Ainsworth, Bennet, Bulwer Lytton, Du Maurier, Ouida W.W. Jacobs, Wren,, Orczy, Dumas, (elder and younger) Stevenson, and many others whose names I can’t recall eight now.
Some of course, leaked into the early 20th cent. and others are still popular. My niece, the other month, a degree laden lady, decided that she wanted to read Vanity Fair, and was thrilled at its contents. She then went on to Esmond,
These books were really “reads” nothing less than 600-700 pages..
@Peloni Around here, if you say, “MSM” everybody will think you are referring to the Manhattan School of Music (I almost typed, Media”) and if you were to say, “legacy media” would they wonder, “is that as opposed to “cage free” or pasture-raised?”
I sat at a bar next to a Columbia student whose major
was, “Global Studies” which included studying cultures and “global governance.”
I was thought of an appropriate title for a textbook” for such a course, “On The Care and Feeding of Journalists.”
“in the belly of the beast” as we used to say when I was an “anti-imperialist “ leftist back in the day, I felt I was.
Last night, I engaged in conversation with a young aspiring comic sitting next to me in a restaurant. Her
Every other word was capitalism this and capitalism that but she clearly had no idea what it is or
What she was talking about.
@Edgar Actually, “hopefully” is an adverb which can be used correctly by saying for example, “he greeted the new day hopefully.”
However, I have found it more practical because less cumbersome to say, “Hopefully such and such will happen” than to say, “It is to be hoped…”
By the same token, sometimes, it is just more efficient to go with the flow and use “them” as a pronoun, incorrectly, in the singular, than to constantly have to insert “him or her”.
Language evolves according to general usage over time.
There is a funny line in the 1946 movie, “To Each his Own” starring Olivia de Havilland, for which she won an Oscar, though it’s been rarely shown here, for some reason, in which, in a scene in a nightclub in London during the Blitz, a crusty aristocrat played by Roland Culver and WWI veteran, as we find out, objects to young people’s language “today” and parodies sarcastically, ” and they thwim and they thwam”
Eh, Daddyo? (or is that one ’50s youth lingo?)
It doesn’t pay to be too literal-minded. After all, a civilization is not the culture of a city state, antisemitism is not opposition to “Semites,” but hatred of Jews, white chocolate isn’t actually chocolate, and an anti-pasto is not somebody who is against spaghett of the male persuasion (that last bit was actually funny when I made it up before the gender dysphoria madness took hold in the pubic square.)
@Edgar, MIchael
P.S.
Michael, what did you type to get that “OH, NO” emoji? was it complicated? Do you have a link to a list?
Edgar, I’m happy to have razed your spirits with this subject! Hopefully we wont pour over it two much.
Oh know!
There are more meaningless words creeping into common use every day.\
But, generally, readers can get their purported meanings.
I recall the many learned debates over the non-word “hopefully”,.
We have, yes,” irregardlelss”, a Vaudeville-style expression,
“per say” instead of per se, “pour over” instead of pore over, and many more that are irksome to write.
I notice some of these in Israpundit articles and posts -as recently as the other day. and I think to myself.. “he really should know better”..
I’m reminded of the famous Lemmy Caution ordering coffee at a bistro in France. and showing off his command of the language… “toot sweet”- 2 lumps.
Or was it R.B. Saxe’s character an English mangler par excellence.. Sammy Creed.??
They all seem to originate in America, whose language, English, has a vocabulary in which many innocuous English terms have completely different meanings in the US, also in Canada which succumbed long ago.
I recall the consternation when freshly arrived in Canada I asked the landlady to be knocked up at 7.30.
@Sebastien
A very perceptive way to explain things. Well done.
@Peloni irregardless was a bete noir of my mother, the daughter of an English teacher, among other things, when I was growing up.
But, I learned a long time ago, that what started as a joke caught on and a hundred years later, entered the dictionary, because we have common law language as well as law, as opposed to France, say, with it’s Academie Francaise.
@Michael
When I first read this, I was quite in agreement with your wife’s comment on this matter, but then I found the following which made me laugh:
Regardless Of What You Think, ‘Irregardless’ Is A Word
This reminds me of a 27 page paper I wrote many years back. It was for Advanced Literary Studies and the title of the paper which I chose was “The Tragicness of Hector in the Iliad”. The professor wanted to give me a ‘C’ for using ‘Tragicness’, a word “which doesn’t exist”, throughout the paper and in the title – for which she was making a full letter grade deduction for each of these criticisms, while noting her regrets because the paper otherwise met with her strong approval. Feeling quite silly, I told her I had thought the word did exist, and she told me to go look it up in the library. So I did, and the funny thing is that though I thought she was actually right, she wasn’t. To be fair, the word was not present in all dictionaries, and actually it was absent from most of them, but it was present in at least one of the older, unabridged dictionaries. I still recall the surprise look of disbelief on Prof. Foxman’s face when I told her what I had found.
In any event, your wife will likely find many points of grammar which I violate routinely. My niece began writing me long emails long ago regarding my lack of regard for such guidelines, so like yourself, I am still being tutored in such matters, though I am probably a worse student than yourself, being quite fixed in my manner of writing, which means that you will likely see ‘irregardless’ written in my writings once again.
Megyn Kelly To Be Joined by Trump in First Interview Since Infamous Debate in 2016
Megyn has recently revealed that she was vaccine injured by the shots and she is likely to expand the conversation on this topic in light of Trump’s continued praise of Warp Speed, something which I was disappointed to see that Tucker Carlson failed to address.
