There is a question that no one wants to ask because they are afraid of the answer: why did Hamas attack Israel? They knew that they could not defeat Israel. Some have hypothesized that the attack was an attempt to derail the pending Israeli/Saudi treaty but that would not achieve any long term Muslim objective. I believe it was a means to unify Sunni, Shiite and other Muslim sects into a unified front against Israel and the West.
As time passes and talking heads postulate when the impending attack on Gaza will start, we have to ask another question: why did Israel not attack already. We are told that this kind of military action takes time and planning. I believe Israel already has contingency plans for this and other actions that may occur. I believe Israel is being restrained by the United States but also realizes that they will lose; they will lose even with the aid of the United States and Europe.
What will Israel do when they realize that they are backed into a corner with the threat of annihilation? They either capitulate completely or launch their nuclear arsenal. If Israel does stand down and offers a tentative “peace”, it will only postpone the inevitable. In this scenario, we return to the first question of why Hamas attacked Israel: they want jihad to destroy Israel and the West. Jihad means all Muslims will unite to fight World War III against the great satan. If this is the correct answer, then the war cannot be stopped. Any Muslim will attack Israel or American bases or American infrastructure to illicit a response. The size of the attack is not relevant, only the symbology of the attack is important. Remember the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand was the catalyst for WWI.
If war is inevitable, so are the attacks in our country. We can blame Democrat open borders, DHS, CIA or any other complicit federal organization as to how we got here. The point is how the people will react to the government and its diktats once the attacks start. Will our military or our people fight for an illegal administration that caused this war?
The illegal Biden regime has led our country to this state of affairs for their own gain and power. Trust in the Lord, act with reason instead of reacting with emotion and verify all information because propaganda is their only weapon left to mislead us.

Your last paragraph is worth reading and re-reading. The world is headed for a crap storm the size of which very few can even imagine.
You nailed that one! Amen, brother
I will build my house upon the Rock. And defend it to the best of my ability.
“They knew that they could not defeat Israel.” Maybe not, but all the Arab states plus Iran can. The USA will be busy attempting to protect all those FOBs we’ve got all over the region and be lucky if they’re not overrun. The smart play would be to bring our troops home and let the locals decide their fate. That, however, will never happen so long as the USA is ruled by tiny hats.
We agree. The “They” I used in the sentence was Hamas. They wanted a spark to unite the other Muslim factions which together would be able to defeat Israel.
Like most Americans, we want to be left alone and do not want foreign entanglements. But we don’t always get what we want.

“Why did Hamas attack Israel?”
Hamas is controlled opposition, created by Israel as the US created Al Qaeda and ISIS as excuses for attacking countries where these entities were, the same is true of Hamas.
To believe that Israel was taken by surprise is ludicrous, this was a false flag psyop from the start, with the main purpose of distracting from the internal criticism of Netanyahu’s government and their attempts to subvert the rule of law in Israel. Hundreds of thousands of Israelis were protesting against Netanyahu’s government right before this “attack” happened, and that protest was effectively squashed.
You can also take into account the vast amount of oil and natural gas in the Gaza area, that Israelis want to steal for themselves, in the same manner they steal properties from Palestinians without any recourse.
Ask yourself why Western governments are pushing so hard against peace and cease fire? Government workers and media are told to not even bring the subject of a cease fire up.
Yes, people were killed (or more accurately sacrificed), but one of the main tenets of “self defense” is proportional response. Would a court absolve you for killing the children of a person who killed someone in your family? That is what is happening in Gaza, indiscriminate killing of non-combatants, many of them children, not to mention the torture of cutting off food, water, electricity and medical care.
The world is not buying the “self defense” BS, and by throwing their power behind this Israeli genocide, the US is putting a very big target on itself.
This may be the time that the man of peace comes to the rescue, not the prince of peace which is Jesus. The man of peace comes on the scene and exalts himself as God and brings a temporary peace. Some dreadful times are coming. The nations will be in perplexity as word God says.
