Millions of “Christians” are going to vote for Kamala Harris. It is such a bizarre act that even leftists find it amusing and befuddling.

The Israeli military freed four hostages taken captive by Hamas in daring rescue operations Saturday in the Gaza Strip that were conducted in the shadows of a pressure campaign by the United States to force a ceasefire.
Officials said three males and a female who had been taken captive during the attack on the Nova Music festival on Oct. 7 were rescued and taken to hospitals for treatment.
Officials identified those rescued as Noa Argamani, 25, Almog Meir Jan, 21, Andrey Kozlov, 27, and Shlomi Ziv, 40,
All were reported in good medical condition.
Hamas took about 250 hostages during its terrorist attack on Oct. 7, and about half were released during a November cease-fire.
Saturday’s operation was the largest rescue since the war began.
Officials said Saturday’s hostages were freed in daytime raids at two separate locations in a Nuseirat refugee camp.
All the while our incompetent administration is calling for a ceasefire that the Hamas terrorist do not want. Let Israel do what it needs to do. Finish the war and secure all the living hostages. Rh

Ultimately, the battle that is being fought in the Middle East today is one of a spiritual nature. It’s truly a battle between good and evil, and right and wrong. Never fear israel shall not fall. In the end, God will protect them. Rh
We are that generation that will see the return of the Lord. I truly believe that from the bottom of my heart and from the cry of the Spirit. Even so come Lord Jesus.
Israel’s rebirth in 1948 and it’s continual victories over it’s enemies have proven that God is in control of their destiny. After wars, and multiple violet terror attacks, Israel is stronger than it’s ever been.
What comes next, we know, but the timetable is up to the Almighty. Know this for certain, that Israel will stand and not be driven into the sea. The inner circle around Israel that seeks it annihilation will have their threats turned back onto them and they will suffer a crushing defeat. the Israeli army will with God’s help prove victorious and live in a short time of peace, having vanquished their mortal enemies.
The outer circle and the lands from the north and the far north will be dealt with by God with 100 pound hailstone falling upon them and they shall also be devastated and destroyed. This war will be short with God proving who He is and that His word and His people will always survive and live and prosper in the land given to them many centuries ago. Praise the Lord!
God is faithful to His Word! Psalms 138: declares “For you have magnified Your Word above all your name.” Rh
Sources close to the discussions in Oman tell MEE that the delegations spoke about ending Israel’s war and a shared desire for a change in Israeli government
Secret talks between Iran and the United States in Oman were making good progress, but have now been jeopardised by the sudden death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and his foreign minister.
Brett McGurk, US President Joe Biden’s senior Middle East adviser, held indirect negotiations earlier this month with Ali Bagheri Kani, Iran’s point man for negotiations with the West, according to three Iranian sources close to the talks.
The talks took place in Muscat, which hosted secret meetings between Tehran and Washington a decade ago that led to the 2015 JCPOA (joint comprehensive plan of action) nuclear agreement.
They were the first round of discussions between the US and Iran since January.
One source close to the talks, which were first reported by Axios on Friday, told Middle East Eye that discussions between Bagheri Kani and McGurk were progressing well and were close to reaching some sort of agreement.
Bagheri Kani was deputy foreign minister at the time, but following the death of Hossein Amir-Abdollahian in the helicopter crash that killed Raisi on Sunday, he is now acting foreign minister.
The talks focused on three subjects: a shared desire for a change in government in Israel; ending Israel’s war on Gaza; and preventing the conflict from spreading elsewhere in the region.
An analyst close to the Iranian ruling establishment suggested to MEE that the talks also seem to have served as a way of establishing a ceasefire between the US on one side and Iran and its allies on the other.
Before the Muscat talks began, McGurk met with Iran’s envoy to the United Nations, Saeid Iravani, according to the sources.
In the meeting, one source said, McGurk quoted Biden as saying: “I will not negotiate with Iran for a nuclear and comprehensive deal until after the US election because the Iranians cannot keep their promises.”
Middle East Eye has asked the US State Department for comment.
Another round of US-Iran talks are not expected soon.
Following Raisi’s death, Iran needs to hold a presidential election within 50 days, and it is unlikely that major foreign policy decisions will be taken during this period of uncertainty. US presidential elections are meanwhile due in November.
“Given this situation, we should expect disruptions and a halt in negotiations with the Americans,” an analyst who previously worked for the ruling establishment told MEE.
“Since both the president and the foreign minister have passed away and an election is due soon, negotiations will likely be delayed until after the election, similar to what happened during the 2021 presidential race when talks were put on hold until after the election.”
JOSHUA MARKS JEWISH NEWS SERVICE
(March 27, 2024 / JNS)
Israel’s National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir has accused U.S. President Joe Biden of siding with the enemies of the Jewish state.
During an interview with The New York Times published on Tuesday, Ben-Gvir said, “Presently, Biden prefers the line of [Palestinian-American Democratic Representative from Michigan] Rashida Tlaib and [Hamas leader in Gaza Yahya] Sinwar to the line of [Israeli Prime Minister] Benjamin Netanyahu and Ben-Gvir.”
While the Biden administration provided unwavering early support for Jerusalem in the wake of the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on Oct. 7, including Biden becoming the first sitting U.S. president to visit Israel during wartime, Washington has taken an increasingly critical stance as the ground war against Hamas in Gaza enters its sixth month.
This culminated on Monday with the Americans deciding not to use their veto power at the United Nations Security Council, allowing a resolution to pass that for the first time decoupled a demand for a temporary ceasefire from the release of 134 Israeli hostages still held by Hamas.
In response to the U.S. move, Netanyahu canceled a high-level delegation’s planned visit to Washington.
Netanyahu said that the changed U.S. position “hurts the war effort and the effort to release the hostages” by giving Hamas hope that international pressure will bring about a ceasefire without requiring the terror group to release the captives.
The Israeli delegation was supposed to discuss alternatives to a pending IDF ground operation in Rafah city, Hamas’s last bastion in the Gaza Strip. While Israel is adamant that the operation is required to achieve its war goals of destroying Hamas as a political and military entity in Gaza, the Biden administration opposes a full-scale offensive.
For his part, Ben-Gvir in a statement called the passage of the U.N. resolution “proof that President Biden is not prioritizing Israel and the free world’s victory over terrorism, but rather his own political considerations.”
Ben-Gvir called for Israel to ramp up its military campaign against Hamas in Gaza.

JERUSALEM, Israel – The U.S. and Israel stand at a diplomatic and military crossroads.
Israel says it needs to finish the war against Hamas in the key Gazan city of Rafah, yet the U.S. is threatening that Israel won’t be able to use American weapons if Israel launches its military campaign against the Hamas stronghold.
On the northern border, Hezbollah continues to fire rocket volleys on Israeli communities.
In his State of the Union address, President Biden put the burden on Israel to protect Gazans.
“Israel has an added burden because Hamas hides and operates among the civilian population like cowards under hospitals, daycare centers, and all the like. Israel also has a fundamental responsibility, though, to protect innocent civilians in Gaza,” Biden declared.
He added what he says is the solution: “As we look to the future, the only real solution to the situation is a two-state solution (between Israel and the Palestinians) over time.”
To increase humanitarian aid to Gaza, the administration announced plans to construct a port in Gaza to bypass the Egyptian border crossing.
Florida Senator Marco Rubio pushed back on that idea on Fox News. “Once you get aid in, who’s going to distribute it? Because that’s really the factor in place right now,” he stated.
Rubio added, “The only people on the ground with any organization to distribute things are Hamas. So in essence, can they guarantee that we’re going to go through all this trouble to put American lives on the line just so aid can be distributed to Hamas – who in turn will then control it like they’ve controlled everything. There’s no Hamas fighters starving to death. And Hamas has no history. None whatsoever. They have zero history of either helping civilians or people. So this is all for show and it’s dangerous.”
Rubio says the fastest way to get aid into Gaza is to defeat Hamas. It’s a goal Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised to Israeli soldiers at a graduation ceremony. His pledge drew cheers.
“Today, I want to tell you, tell you clearly: the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) will continue to operate against all of Hamas’s battalions throughout the Strip – and this includes Rafah, Hamas’s last stronghold,” Netanyahu said to clapping and cheering.
He continued, “Whoever tells us not to operate in Rafah, is telling us to lose the war – and that will not happen. There is international pressure and it is increasing. But it is precisely when the international pressure increases that we must close ranks among ourselves. We must stand together against the attempts to stop the war.”
Netanyahu then quoted scripture, saying, “This is what the Psalmist says: ‘Who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.’ [Psalm 144:1] We are learning the lessons of the fighting and we are planning – with due consideration – the continuation of the war. In the future, we will learn all the lessons of October 7th. We will do so openly and fully. But today we have a clear goal: Achieving total victory in the war.”
In an unprecedented move, the Biden administration is considering restricting the use of U.S. munitions if Israel launches a military operation into Rafah. An article in The Washington Post quoted former U.S. Ambassador Martin Indyk as saying, “If Israel launches an offensive in Rafah without adequately protecting the displaced civilian population, it may precipitate an unprecedented crisis in U.S.-Israel relations, even involving arms supplies.”
Col. Richard Kemp, former commander of British forces in Afghanistan, tells CBN News that would play into the hands of Hamas.
“I think it’s very irresponsible of the United States because President Biden himself and Secretary Blinken have both said that they understand Israel’s need to eliminate Hamas – and to do that, they have to go into Rafah,” Kemp explained. “If they don’t destroy Hamas in Rafah, then effectively they would have survived and will have won the war. They will declare victory. They will still be a major threat to Israel.”
Meanwhile, the head of Hamas in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, is reportedly holding up the negotiations for a ceasefire and the release of the remaining hostages.
Sinwar demands a permanent ceasefire and a pullout of all Israeli forces from Gaza.
Both in Israel’s north and south, fighting continues, with three Gazan rockets fired toward the southern town of Sderot, while Hezbollah launched a volley of rockets against northern towns.
The government of the United States is on dangerous ground when it turns its back on Israel. God will punish us for doing so. Elections have consequences and the last Presidential election might be the downfall of our great Republic. It is time for the Godly remnant to gain our voice, get out of the Church and speak into the cultural issues of today. Please don’t tell me you will pray, action is required. Prayer can become the excuse for the lazy! Yes pray and weep over the sins of America, but do something, say something. Stand for righteous. Rh
