Israel ‘the most concrete threat to regional and global peace’ says Erdoğan. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoǧan told local media on Saturday that Russia, Iran and Syria should do more to protect Syria’s “territorial integrity.” “It is essential that Russia, Iran and Syria take more effective measures against this situation, which poses the greatest threat to Syria’s territorial integrity,” Erdoǧan said when asked about the recent alleged Israeli airstrike in the nation's capital, Damascus. Erdoǧan has consistently criticized Israel since he came into power a decade ago, despite several attempts to improve economic ties between the two nations. Since the start of the Gaza War last October, Erdoǧan has increasingly attacked Israel and sided with Hamas. Shortly after the Hamas invasion and massacre of southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, the Turkish president canceled a planned trip to Israel and refused to condemn Hamas. “Hamas is not a terror organization,” Erdoǧan said at the time. “It is waging a battle for its land.” In November, Erdoǧan slammed Israel’s ground incursion into Gaza, calling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “the butcher of Gaza.” In May 2024, at Erdoǧan’s urging, Turkey announced that it was halting all trade with Israel. The Turkish leader has also called for an “alliance of Islamic countries” to stop “Israeli arrogance.” Notably, some bible researchers have identified an alliance of Russia, Iran and Turkey as being the fulfillment of biblical prophecy, especially the War of Gog and Magog from Ezekiel 38. “October 7 is a sign of what awaits us when Islam takes power in Western Europe,” warned Beatrix von Storch, highlighting the massacre of Jews as a grim preview of Europe’s future under Islamic control. In a powerful speech delivered by Beatrix von Storch, representing the Alternative for Germany (AfD) parliamentary group in the Bundestag, she condemned the rise of Islamic terror in Europe and the failure of Western governments to confront the threat. The AfD, often falsely labeled as Nazis by the left, is, in fact, Germany’s only conservative party and the fiercest defender of Jews. They are also the country’s only pro-Israel party, standing firmly against anti-Semitism. Storch began her speech by stating that “Islamist terrorists carried out the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust,” taking over 200 hostages in the process. She criticized prominent Western figures and institutions for their complacency, claiming that “all their icons, from Greta Thunberg to Judith Butler, saw ‘resistance’ movements in Hamas and Hezbollah.” Storch went further to address the cultural and academic spheres in Germany, accusing universities and their leaders of harboring antisemitic sentiments. She stated that “woke presidents of German universities share antisemitic tweets and find genocide against the Jews compatible with university rules.” One of the most striking aspects of her speech was her condemnation of the West’s immigration policies, which she directly linked to the growing threats to Jewish communities and broader European societies. “Europe is burning, ladies and gentlemen. And you all have lit the fire here with your immigration policy,” she declared, citing a significant rise in antisemitic attacks across Europe, including a “400% increase in Belgium.” She noted the exodus of Jews from Western nations, with “30,000 Jews from the West migrating to Israel,” emphasizing that even under rocket fire, they feel safer in Israel than in Europe. Her speech also included a frightening warning about the future of Europe, stating that “the 7th of October is a sign of what awaits us when Islam takes power in Western Europe.” Storch painted a grim picture of a future where synagogues and churches burn, and anyone who does not submit to Islamic rule is persecuted. “First the synagogues will burn, then the churches… then the kippah-wearers will be beaten up, and in the end everyone who does not submit,” she declared, calling out Germany’s political elites for their submission to Islamic forces. Von Storch’s speech ended on an uncompromising note, distinguishing the AfD from the left-wing ruling establishment: “We will defend synagogues and churches. We will never submit.” https://rairfoundation.com/afd-warns-europes-future-under-islam-first-synagogues/ Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday called on the United Nations to immediately pull its peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon from areas where Israel is battling Hezbollah, saying that the terror group is using the international troops as “human shields.” In urging that members of UNIFIL be moved out of harm’s way, Netanyahu said that previous similar pleas by Israel had been refused, despite a rising number of injuries to UNIFIL troops. The international force has already said that it will stay put. “Your refusal to evacuate the UNIFIL soldiers makes them hostages of Hezbollah,” Netanyahu said. “This endangers both them and the lives of our soldiers.” Netanyahu said Israel “regrets the injury” to the peacekeepers, and that it is doing whatever it can to prevent such incidents. “But the simple and obvious way to ensure this is just get them out of the danger zone,” Netanyahu said. Amir Tsarfati, Oct 15: Reuters also reported that the IDF has been putting up new obstacles and fortifications in recent days in the fence area with Syria. At the same time, Syrian soldiers watch and don't interfere. Reuters reinforces the fact that the Russian military has recently evacuated positions and outposts in the Golan as part of a "quiet understanding" with Israel. That’s right, Biden/Harris are worried about Israel sending more humanitarian aid into Gaza knowing full well who steals that aid, and not a word about the hostages or Hamas. The irony of any American Jew voting for these Israel haters is that there is no denying that antisemitism is going through the roof, but those same Jews who know that if things get really bad, Israel will have their back, are now abandoning Israel and voting for Harris because she’s not Trump. So they expect us to have their backs but they won’t have ours. I don’t care what you think of Trump and his personality. It’s irrelevant. Voting for Harris today, after everything this admin has done to hurt Israel, is abandoning Israel. It’s fine if you want to vote based on abortion, immigration, or anything else. But say it as it is. Israel is less important to you. Own it. However you want to look at it, whether you care about promises or about policy, Trump has proven time and time again that he’s a friend of Israel’s. ... And I say to this French macaroon: Israel was established by God’s decree! “Before she was in labor, she gave birth; [50 minutes] Amir Tsarfati, Oct 16: Turkey: 6.1 magnitude earthquake in the east of the country. Israel has officially confirmed that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar is dead, killed in a chance encounter Wednesday with infantry and armored units of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). In a joint statement Thursday evening local time, titled “Yahya Sinwar, the leader of the Hamas terrorist organization who was responsible for planning and executing the October 7th Massacre, has been eliminated,” the IDF and Israel Security Agency (ISA) declared. As Breitbart News reported, the IDF suspected that Sinwar may have been inadvertently killed after soldiers directed tank fire at a building in which three terrorists had been spotted. Afterwards, infantry soldiers discovered, to their surprise, a body that resembled Sinwar. The body was taken to Israel for further examination, including dental, DNA, and fingerprint verification. ...Israeli officials concluded that the dead body was indeed Sinwar’s. According to Israel’s Army Radio, Sinwar was found with passports on his body, as well as a quantity of cash. He was apparently trying to flee Gaza to Egypt, leaving Hamas and the Palestinian people behind as he attempted to escape. Sinwar was once thought to have surrounded himself with hostages to prevent Israel from killing him in an airstrike. On Thursday it was revealed that those hostages were the ones executed in a tunnel in late August, including U.S. citizen Hersh Goldberg-Polin, as Israeli soldiers closed in. Sinwar had evidently been on the run ever since. His body was found next to those of senior Hamas commanders known to be close to him. Amir Tsarfati, Oct 17: Amir's Weekly Newsletter [snippets]: Last night began the week of Sukkot, or the Feast of Tabernacles. The most unusual part of the celebration, however, was to be the people’s living accommodations. Leviticus 23:42-43 This was to be an experiential remembrance of God’s faithfulness. “Dad, why are we sleeping out in this tent when we’ve got a perfectly good house?” “Because many years ago, God brought our ancestors out of slavery in Egypt. Then He took care of them day-by-day out in the wilderness for more than 40 years – giving them food to eat, and water to drink. A God like that is One we can trust for anything.” When the tribulation is complete, the church has returned, and all Israel has individually repented and been saved, that’s when we will enter the new promised land. It will be a thousand-year kingdom which Jesus Himself will rule from His throne in Jerusalem. This will also be a time when everyone from all nations will come to Jerusalem to remember what it was like when we struggled in the temporary dwellings of our bodies. We’ll look back at how God was always there for us and carried us through. And we’ll joyously praise His name as we celebrate the eternal life that He gave to us through the sacrifice of the Messiah. So, Chag Sukkot Sameach! Happy Feast of Tabernacles! In the midst of this world’s darkness, it’s so good to remember that there is a shining light! Lebanon: Those horns are coming in the shape of airstrikes that are destroying headquarters, missile launchers, and weapons caches. Terrorist leaders are being targeted and eliminated. On the ground, the IDF is eradicating Hezbollah’s Radwan forces and blasting out their tunnel system. Throughout villages in southern Lebanon, Israeli flags are being hoisted as the ground forces move through the countryside. Thus far, it has been a rout. But there is much more to be done. Gaza: The United States has now officially threatened an arms embargo if Israel doesn’t up its humanitarian game toward the Gazan citizens. Israel pushed back, and I’m guessing the conversation went something like: United Nations (UNIFIL): Iran: Ministry: Understanding biblical prophecy means recognizing that nations are judged or blessed based on their treatment of Israel, with the end times focusing on Israel’s restoration and role in God’s kingdom. This perspective places Israel at the center of prophecy, making the affairs of nations secondary to their involvement with God’s chosen people.

These people are unemployed and join terrorist organizations mainly because of unemployment.

https://t.me/s/beholdisraelchannel SPECIAL Q&A LIVE With Amir Tsarfati - ISRAEL AT WAR:
.....Official Confirmation: Hamas Leader Yahya Sinwar Is Dead; Killed Trying to Flee Gaza:
The Feast of Tabernacles is the last of the seven feasts listed in Leviticus 23. Thus, it is no surprise that it is a celebration. When you are a true follower of God, there is always a happy ending.
“You shall dwell in booths for seven days. All who are native Israelites shall dwell in booths, that your generations may know that I made the children of Israel dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.”
In the year since the war in Gaza started, 13,400 missiles and drones have been fired at Israel from Lebanon. That’s compared with 13,200 missiles from Gaza, 400 missiles and drones from Iran, 180 missiles and drones from Yemen, and 60 missiles from Syria. Hezbollah in Lebanon fired at Israel first, and they have since continued firing quite often. They grabbed the bull; now they’re getting the horns.
BREAKING NEWS FROM THIS MORNING: YAHYA SINWAR IS DEAD:
An identification process was begun, which has now confirmed to a 99 percent level that the DNA of one of the terrorists belonged to the mass murderer. I must admit, I was quite skeptical when I first heard the report. But, now it seems by all evidence that the news is true.
Israel: “You realize that Hamas steals all the humanitarian aid, then sells the little they don’t use themselves to the people.”
Washington: “Not our problem.”
In a surprise to no one, the United Nations is actively working against Israel again in a war zone. In Gaza, it was in the guise of UNRWA, a “humanitarian” branch of the UN which was forced to admit that some of its members helped Hamas during and after the October 7 massacre. Now, in Lebanon it’s the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) who are actively helping Hezbollah by allowing themselves to serve as human shields.
Pressure continues to build from Washington for Israel to temper its retaliation against Iran for the Islamic regime’s 200 strong missile attack on October 1. Now it seems that Netanyahu is ready to agree to stay his hand, indicating that the response will focus on military targets and not nuclear or oil ones. This is certainly a modest response for the strength of Iran’s actions. However, it appears to me that Netanyahu is biding his time, hoping for a new U.S. administration.
As we close, I just want to remind you that Bible prophecy is not primarily concerned with nations and their political or military affairs with one another. Instead, it has to do with those countries’ relationship to Israel. The nation of Israel holds a central role in God’s prophetic plan, and the events of world history are significant only in how they interact with or affect the Jewish nation. God’s dealings with empires and nations throughout time were orchestrated in relation to His covenant with His people. Therefore, prophetic events and the future culmination of God’s plan revolve around Israel’s role in His divine purposes.
Amir Tsarfati
