Fatah, Hamas's political Palestinian rival in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, said Israel's aim was "to exterminate Palestinians through a policy of cumulative killing".

The US said it was "deeply concerned" about reports of civilian casualties and was seeking further details.

A US National Security Council spokesman said: "We know Hamas has been using schools as locations to gather and operate out of.

"But we have also said repeatedly and consistently that Israel must take measures to minimise civilian harm."

He said "far too many civilians continue to be killed and wounded", adding that it "underscores the urgency of a ceasefire and hostage deal".

Hi Dr. Aranda 👋, this quote from UN security, says it all. I have been praying for peace and a ceasefire, but how can you when the powers at be, don’t even care for the children? They have no faith. We need to pray for all of it faith, hope and love; praying not stop, for the Israel to STOP. And have the understanding that they are killing children! Amen! 🙏🏻

Kind of reminds me of the Nova Festival massacre on October 7, 2023 where over 1,000 innocent Jews were kidnapped , tortured, raped, and killed in Gaza. These Palestinians are captive shields used by Hamas. We have Hamas to “thank” for this.

Consider that the term "nation" in the "Old" & "New" Testaments/Covenants doe NOT mean "country" as it has come to be so referenced in contemporary times and usage. In fact it refers to "a people, people group, ethnic group, family, tribe, kinship group -- those descended from a common set of ancestors. Large groups of persons classed according to religious, linguistic, national, tribal or cultural origin or background." Then consider "states" or "governments" - which are self-declared then asserted by use of force, (up to and including lethal force). Consider the Balfour declaration (it's origins and sponsors -- who were zionists, not Jews), and its inclusion of language that was meant to preserve and leave unmolested indigenous peoples of the land (not that conquering a land as Great Britain did, taking apart the former Ottoman Empire and "giving" a land already inhabited by Palestinians to a new occupying force that was basically a form of migratory warfare/lawfare). Then the League of Nations (aka United Nations) -- a satanic globalist regime led by unelected power mongers "granting" recognition to the self-asserted nation state which proclaimed its name to be "israel" (following on the heels of the expiration of GB's mandate on Palestine). https://www.refworld.org/legal/decreees/natlegbod/1948/en/46551 . Finally the special people of ancient times that our LORD chose to be His representatives to the world (and specifically the Gentiles) -- a light to those in darkness, who ultimately rejected their Messiah when He appeared on the scene as predicted by the prophets (hundreds of specific prophetic utterings all in agreement) to offer the kingdom to those to whom it had been promised. Their (majorally) rejction enabled the risen Christ to commission the apostle Paul to spread the good news of salvation by grace alone, not nationality, law-keeping (which was not made for Gentiles) or by rituals, rites or even the blood-atoning sacrifices that characterized the pre-Christ spiritual economy. Instead, the Abrahamic Covenant-based apprehension of NEW life (Christ Jesus' eternal life) by faith (as a gift from the LORD Himself via His Holy Spirit) and the "baptism" not with water (a sign and precursor) but by being "placed into" or "immersed" into Jesu, with the Triunity coming to take up permanent residence in the believer's new heart, his/her mind being renewed and the believer being made "obedient from the heart" having been given EVERYTHING pertaining to life and godliness -- complete in Him, seated with Him in the heavenlies, and having access to the very throneroom of God to clal on our "daddy" (Abba) when needed..... Promises of a restoration of the "people" (nation, not self-designated and self-titled country) of Israel -- of the twelve tribes of Jacob/Israel in the latter times of history -- to be tried in a final period known as the "Time of Jacob's trouble" -- a time when many of us believe that the scriptures teach the ekklesia (mistranslated "church" but meaning "called out ones, assembly or congregation" will be remove and with it the restraining influence against the tide of evil awaiting this tie to complete its long-awaited plan for destroying or marshaling and owning all of God's creation -- its natural resources, humankind and even the very fabric from which it is made (the synthesization of the organic, the categorization of all things and process and the monetization and ownership of them while the organic is phased unto a biotechnological faux world akin to the matrix,partially in place already). How can we support (with aid, with ammunition and with political rhetoric) a regime that has purposefully declared itself to be named after the people of God, but follow the Babylonian Talmud (not biblical Torah), who make war on all neighbors in order to accomplish a military/political victory over them in an effort to reclaim land and resources originally promised to the chosen people of God of ancient times (who use subterfuge, deceit, and uncompromising brutality to accomplish their conquests and ethnic cleansing)? When we know GOD HIMSELF will regather THOSE WHO ARE HIS from captivity and dispersion, at HIS APPOINTED TIME, and HE HIMSELF will battle against those who have arrayed themselves against His people, who have likely returned in rebellion and unbelief, but who we know from scriptures will be awakened and suddenly recognize and embrace their true Messiah for who He is and suffer many things in order to one day share eternity with those who have by faith entered in before them. We must remain peacemakers, those who have themselves surrendered to and embraced the all-encompassing provision of our God through Jesus and by His indwelling Holy Spirit -- to also accomplish His purposes for His once chosen (we are now chosen, beloved and holy) whom He has not forsaken, but will once more extend Himself to reach (at least 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes as we are told). We are not honoring God by sanctioning the killing of innocents or the perpetuation of hostilities between nations -- even if we realize that is coming, but will be "settled" by the Divine, not by man (just again, as our salvation is not the result of our striving, working or making things happen it is by receipt through faith). We should wait for the LORD and see HIM work and in the interim, pray for peace and for love to be disseminated.

So if Israel can't be a tiny, but well armed, "Jewish" state carved out of the remnants of the 500 reign of the Ottoman Empire...

Why is it "appropriate" to have 22 ARAB states that were ALSO carved out of that empire?

Who are truly the racists here.. And who is hell bent upon global conquest by violent force?

The people who are descendants of Jacob/Israel, who are truly "Israelites" will be regathered by God Himself, defended by God Himself and preserved through a time of great testing by God Himself, until they (or a portion of them) recognize and embrace Jesus as Messiah. The creation of a country (which is not a "nation" in biblical terminology, which is instead a people group) which has called itself Israel (which may indeed contain Jewish persons, many of whom have disavowed being represented in the way that they have -- both here and abroad) and which has sought, by force, to assert its existence, not peacefully via coexistence among the inhabitants of the land who were already there, but to instead conduct a 75 years+ campaign of forced immigration coupled with ethnic cleansings (Nakba) displacing Palestinian residents from their land, homes, and freedoms is an issue. As an "occupier" and "invader" who is hostile to what once was a diverse group of peoples of multiple origins and faiths into an apartheid state led by a European dictator (Netanyahu aka Mileikowsky), who is backed by U.S. and U.K. money and armaments (and political favor in international circles) and now seeks massive expansion via the same use of force and targeting of civilian populations in order to realize its desired objective of domination over a specific geographic area, differs significantly from other surrounding nation states who arose out of their respective areas from territories into (also self-declared and defended) nation states. THere have been wars among the Arab nations for years, many of them stirred up by U.S./CIA and British/MI6 or even Israeli/Mossad "intelligence" apparatuses to ensure access to lands and resources are maintained and to keep the flow of resources coming to the western powers. Cartelized protectionism is now a common practice that has only been legitimized by the lack of resistance from the world at large and conquered or dominated nations active resistance. The "tiny", victim-mentality using nation stateed calling itself Israel has leveraged the plight of a people whose name they have appropriated and whose cuase they claim to represent to wage war and to try to force into existence the fulfillment of prophetic utterances made about a coming new era -- whicih again, in His time and way, God Himself will orchestrate and champion. The present state and the hostilities and activities are not congruent with that and are in fact an excuse to use the nation state calling itself Israel as a proxy for western powers to retain control and access to what they want in that region, even up and including risking (likely to their own detriment) escalated conflicts with large nation-states, as part of a globalist plan to disable significant nations and to establish a central base of power to rule all nations. Saudis are unwitting pawns as are the "axis powers" and NATO nations who are playing into the hands of those who are manipulating them.

Pray for the hostages. Not one mention of the hostages. Pray for the innocent Arabs AND Jews AND other nationalities and ethnicities in Israel and the region and the world who are being used and slaughtered by terrorists who have always stored weapons in schools, mosques, hospitals and homes forcing attacks on civilians.

Isn't it true that the killing would have stopped/will stop immediately if Hamas surrendered and returned the hostages? (Did you know that they are holding 23 Thai nationals, 1 Napali and 1 Filipino)

Yep. But Hamas wants only to destroy Israel and they’ll endanger innocent civilians to accomplish that.

Dr. Aranda, you are right that we should pray for all those suffering in the Middle East right now, but that footage is likely staged. You can even see the big wire being used to move the hand. The best evidence for it being staged is what you don't see in that edited clip, which is the presence of Mr. FAFO, a known Hamas propagandist who always seems to find himself right in the middle of the worst alleged incidents of the war:

The question has always been: How many are the "innocent"? Most of them are on the side of Hamas, did you not know? Many are coerced into following Hamas. But "innocent"? We always get this pathetic appeal on the "innocent"! It is old and appalling and uneducated.

We are constantly being fed propaganda.

If this report has any truth to it, then it’s tragic.

The UN is completely anti Israel.

MSM continues to lie to our faces.

They use CGI and actors to fool us. They have recently used images from Desert Storm to display their narrative. They use fear porn to make us afraid and hate one another.

The Bible is filled with prophecy. The Truth will be lies and the lies will be Truth. There will be doctrines of demons.

Use discernment. Pray. 🙏🏼

Margaret, when I saw your previous story on this, my first gut reaction was that this was an elaborate staged event by Hamas, something they are VERY well known for.. (Arab version of HollyWood special effects)..

But I decided to hold off and wait for more information..

And it's nice, tragic as all of this human suffering is, that my initial reaction proved correct.

We should also not forget that it was Hamas, one year ago, that executed 1,300 Israeli unarmed civilians, many at very close range (as well as the longer range missles they shoot at Israel out of Gaza.

People should also remember that, since 2005, not one Jew has lived in Gaza. That was the deal that Israel made with the Gazan Arab leadership. And the response was "forever war" against Israel.

A lot of people enjoy citing theories about Netanyahu opening the gates to Hamas via the gigantic security lapse, thus making the attack Israel's fault..

But how many of us would actually blame ourselves for inadvertently forgetting to lock our doors at night, permitting an armed robber to enter our homes?

Certainly, that would be an act of negligence.. But WHY SHOULD we need to lock our doors at night? Why can't we leave the keys in our cars unattended?

Why do the Israelis have to put up a border wall with Gaza, with flawed security technology?

I grew up in a community where such "negligence" was common. We didn't feel constantly threatened by criminals and murderers. And most families were sufficiently armed that if any such criminal broke into our homes, they would be leaving on a stretcher, or in a hearse.

My prior comment was an (unsuccessful, apparently) attempt to point out that those who are justifying the nation state called Israel's formation and its "right to exist", its occupation of and now intent to ethnically cleanse the people of Palestine (including homes, land, resources and the imprisonment of the remaining population into smaller and slammer ultra-controlled "open air prisons", endless altercations with the people of Palestine (whom they have deemed animals, sub-humans, "terrorists", etc. while proclaiming its intent and publishing maps of "greater Israel" showing the addition of lands from surrounding peoples, it's repeated war crimes and its unilateral reliance upon and involvement with the United States in its activities while it "hides" under the umbrella cause of "Anti-Semite Jew Haters") is founded on a misunderstanding of biblical truths and disclosures. NO NATION STATE has a "right to exist" no matter what fraudulent, globalist totalitarian conspiracy of wealthy technocratic elites acting through their sock puppet organization of the UN (formally League of Nations) may decree. PEOPLE have a "right to develop" and to "thrive" and to pursue life - nations, which are self-declared, then bolstered by the use of force, usually lethal (like the US displacing indigenous peoples, repeatedly violating "agreements" forced upon them, and ethnically cleansing them while simultaneously claiming that the US is a covenant nation under God). When oppressed, regardless of which conquering empire so decides, when the right to liberty, property and life are taken by force from them, it is logical that the response would be to resist and fight against the occupying/invading force and for radical extremists to rise out of the populous (especially when funded and used by the occupier to conveniently harass other surrounding nations that are already there and opposed to the occupation, destruction and diminishment of a people group, and to maintain a constant tension between occupied and occupier for the purpose of the long slow and deliberate elimination/extermination of them. Not surprisingly, now that the same tactic is being employed across the Western nations (that of purposeful immigration by foreign non-assimilating forces who are hostile to the native citizenry for the purpose of warring against them and displacing them and establishing a new identity and purpose for the former nation, while those honoring the 2nd amendment provisions prepare for militia style defense of life, liberty and property), they are also supporting a like conflict in at least two (overtly -- more covertly) locations abroad (Ukraine & the nation state calling itself Israel). Since what the bible defines as a "people group," etc. as previously defined and disclosed and those nomenclatures have been, in modernity, been [mis] understood and applied differently for the ease of equating a self-proclaimed and self-named UN blessed "nation state" means something quite different, justification for a "right to exist" and a "right to extinguish" other (multi-religious, multi-ethnic) people groups (who have no nation state status but who by virtue of long occupation and previously peaceful existence) then there is no justification for continued support of the occupying force as a governmental structure, especially when part of its initial charter was to not molest indigenous populations. I would make the case that billions of dollars spent to continue multiple wars, conflicts, assassinations, uprisings,(many of them done by the U.S./ CIA as part of color revolutions, etc. as well as the training and radicalization of "terrorist groups" to maintain constant instability in the middle east), etc. COULD be used to arrive at a peaceful solution. THe technology and intelligence possessed by more than one large nation applied judiciously could resolve these decades long areas of impasse and in fact preserve PEOPLE GROUPS, whether or not actual "nation states" remain in existence as presently defined. THe usurper has not acted alone -- a long history of British (City of London-overseen) occupation, conquest and colonial governance over most continents in the world for centuries does not justify a continuation of the perpetuation of hostilities in areas deemed valuabel for resources or for colonization. ANY people group (no matter what nation state) who do not resist the invasion and conquest/confiscation of their liberty and property and lives is a people group who are already dead. The Arab states are no exception -- other than the fact that that to the extent they have been unsuccessful at weeding out the radical elements within their borders makes them at least complicit in the ongoing suffering and devastation being purposefully waged by the occupying force in the land of Palestine and makes them targets of a sort for ongoing inclusion in the instability and unrest that plagues that area of the world....by design. The saddest part of this is that the purposeful division caused between people over the ongoing and repeated use of dualistic (arbitrary, misleading) "choices" -- that is, forcing people to choose one side or the other, when both "choices" are wrong, simply reveals the uninformed and emotionally infantile state of most of the world beat down by industrial strength propaganda, pre-programming, and mind control at a global scale. The course of action is clear -- we must be peacemakers or ourselves suffer annhilation - there is no other solution. For a cogent, formal internationally defensible explanation of Palestine vs Israel, listen to this oratory from the Hague from @ 7 months ago evidencing from a law perspective the reasonable next step -- withdrawal of Israel from the land....even though I believe ther eis a better moire civilized solution. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LACse017-A

The number of civilians killed in the Gaza conflict has been inflated to portray Israel as deliberately targeting innocent people, a report by Patrick Sawer, Senior News Reporter from The Telegraph, claims (https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/12/14/number-civilians-killed-gaza-inflated-to-vilify-israel/). Number of civilians killed in Gaza ‘inflated to vilify Israel’

Researchers accuse Gaza ministry of health of overstating casualty data.
