Israel's justification for its crimes of killing civilians
In the midst of the Israeli aggression against Gaza now - which human rights activists have described as genocide - the Israeli occupation army is trying to justify the killing and wounding of more than 75,000 Palestinians by saying that they were merely collateral damage. The favorite argument of pro-Israel politicians and media professionals to justify the killing of Palestinian civilians by the Israeli army and its missiles is to blame the resistance movement Hamas by claiming that it uses Palestinian women and children as human shields against the Israeli army. This image is also an attempt to shift the responsibility borne by the attacking Israeli army.
The protection of civilians is one of the foundations of international humanitarian law. Even if a party in the war resorts to the use of human shields, the attacking party is still obligated to take all precautions that will reduce the number of civilian casualties. If the attacking military force finds that the harm of the military operation outweighs its benefit, it must stop it because the attack becomes prohibited under International humanitarian law.
In the aggression against Gaza, Israel justified its attack on Al-Shifa Hospital, saying that there was a Hamas leadership headquarters underneath it, and that the movement used civilians there as human shields, but after the Israeli army entered the hospital, it did not find convincing arguments to justify the attack, and it bombed the civilians inside the hospital and killed them.
If we examine the evidence, we find that the only party in the current conflict that used human shields, as testified and documented by humanitarian, international, and human rights organizations, is Israel. Israel used human shields for its army during the second intifada, which broke out in September 2000. Members of the Israeli army would randomly break into homes and force their residents to use them as human shields to achieve their military goals. The Israeli army also used Palestinians as human shields in 2002 by forcing them to enter the homes of persecutors to confirm their presence. Buildings suspected of being booby-trapped, making them a shield between themselves and the angry Palestinian masses to deter bullets or stones in their direction, hiding behind their backs and shooting, imprisoning them in the houses that the army stormed and taking as headquarters to prevent the resistance from attacking, and forcing them to pick up some items from the street suspected of being booby-trapped.
After appeals and reports submitted by 7 human rights organizations; The Israeli Supreme Court banned this policy, and Zahava Gal-On, a deputy from the left-wing Meretz party, commented: “The Supreme Court ruled that an army in a democratic state cannot behave like terrorist gangs.”
The Israeli army protested this ruling due to its desire to continue to make the Palestinians human shields, and resorted to changing the policy and making it voluntary, meaning that the army could ask the population to volunteer to serve its interests.
In all the Israeli army's confrontations against the Palestinians, whether in the West Bank or Gaza, international human rights bodies have recorded many cases in which the occupation soldiers used civilians as human shields.
The International Justice Organization published a lengthy report in which it said, "It did not find a single piece of evidence proving that Hamas used civilians as human shields, despite the accumulated charges levelled by Israel against the movement."
During the current Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip - according to American assessments - half of the munitions and bombs dropped on the Strip are unguided.
According to expert analyzes compiled by journalist Julia Frankel from the Associated Press, the Israeli war is considered one of the most deadly and dangerous wars among contemporary wars.
Frankel cited the conclusions of researchers Cory Shear and Jamon van den Hoek of New York University and the University of Oregon, who are experts in mapping to assess damage during wars.
The researchers found that Israel had destroyed two-thirds of the buildings in the northern Gaza Strip and a quarter of the buildings in the south of Khan Yunis. They expressed their concern about Israel's use of unguided bombs in a narrow, densely populated area, with the certainty that it would kill civilians.
Researcher Nev Gordon comments that Israel, through its constant claim that 20,000 civilians were human shields, turns civilians from protected innocents into indirect participants in the war. He added, "Including an entire people under the name of human shields violates many of the legal limits set to protect civilians, and expands the scope of the violence that Israel uses against the Palestinians."
Human rights experts believe that calling 20,000 civilians “human shields” while continuing to bomb them with bombs not intended to kill them is an example of how Israel uses legal terminology to give an atmosphere of legitimacy to its actions that violate international humanitarian law.
Others give an example of this, saying, “If a terrorist uses civilians as human shields in a building in central Paris or New York, for example, does it make sense to destroy the entire building in the center of the city?”

Student demonstrations in the United States against Israel
Anger sweeps American students who oppose Israel and the war in Gaza and demand the withdrawal of funds from entities linked to Israel. The student revolution exploded and swept most of the American states. 40 universities in particular, even expanding outside the country. Movements denouncing the Gaza war, and intense anger in the country of “freedom and democracy.”
Universities that witnessed demonstrations:
Arizona State University.
Columbia University.
University of Denver.
Virginia Tech University.
Yale University.
University of Southern California.
Emory University: Faculty gathered on campus to express concerns about violent arrests that occurred on campus, as tenured professors called on the university's president, Gregory Fenves, to step down over the decision to call in state and local police to clear the university of protesters.
Ohio State University: 36 protesters were arrested, after refusing dispersal orders. At the University of Texas at Austin, more than 50 people were arrested.
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill: More than 75 students gathered, demanding that the university divest from companies that invest in Israel and its military operations.

The title of this video, "Will Zionism Self-Destruct?" is a bit misleading. Alastair Crooke gives a master class on the power structure of the Middle East. In its decades long remission, Iran has crafted a new strategy to defeat the US/Israel doctrine of air and naval superiority. . This doctrine is being used in a new matrix throughout the Middle East, in Yemen, in Iran, in Jordan and in Palestine to turn the tables on the US and Israel. Warfare, as we know it in the Middle East, will never be the same.

"The last six months of genocide in Gaza have ushered in a new phase in a long history of colonization and extraction that reaches back to the nineteenth century. To truly understand the present crisis, Andreas Malm argues, requires a longue durée analysis of Palestine's subjugation to fossil empire...

So we are now clocking half a year of this genocide... six months, 184 days of bombs picking off one family after another, one high-rise building after another, one residential district after another, relentlessly, methodically: half a year of the grey bones of children poking out under the rubble, of rows of tiny white body bags lined up on the ground, of a mutilated girl hanging from a window as a from a meat hook; half a year of parents bidding farewell to their children with eerie composure, as if their spirits have left them empty and blank, or in uncontrollable spasms of grief, as if they don’t know how to ever again put one foot in front of the other and take a step on this Earth; half a year of a dozen massacres per day, summary executions, sniping, driving over the corpses with bulldozers and all the rest and it just doesn’t stop, it goes on and it goes on and it doesn’t stop and then it continues and proceeds apace and it won’t come to an end and it just doesn’t stop. One can go insane with despair watching this from a distance. If one feels that way, then one should try to imagine how the people feel who are still alive in Gaza".

The essay by Andreas Malm:

Islam does not believe Jesus is the Son of God.
Which the Bible teaches.

God was never married
The Bible makes it clear that while Yahweh created marriage in Genesis 1:28, he was never married, nor does God have a wife.
This means He has no sons.
In much of modern Christianity, God is addressed as the Father, in part because of his active interest in human affairs on the earth, in the way that a father would take an interest in his children who are dependent on him and as a father, he will respond to humanity, his children, acting in their best interests.
In general, the title Father (capitalized) signifies God's role as the life-giver, the authority, and powerful protector, often viewed as immense, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent with infinite power and charity that goes beyond human understanding.

The Lord is like a compassionate father to those who fear him (Psalm 103:13) “As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him” A father cares deeply about the suffering and misfortune of his children.

Isaiah 64:7 – “Yet, Lord, you are our father; we are the clay and you our potter: we are all the work of your hand.” 1 John 3:1 – “See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and that is what we are.
