"Passover in Israel -"


 
Hello John and Doves,
 
Lots and lots has been happening - seemingly at warp speed!  And then it seems to die off and then pick back up again.  Birth pains?
 
April 18, 2024 was 10 Nisan - some of us here have been looking for something big to happen on this date. 
 
The U.N. voted to make a Palestinian state - the U.S. vetoed this.  On April 18.

Israel carried out a direct strike on Iran.  On April 18.
U.S. blocks resolution for Palestinian statehood at the United Nations
 
Now we have Passover starting April 22.  Passover week continues to April 30.  U.S. intelligence had reported that Israel wouldn't retaliate against Iran until AFTER Passover - April 30.  But Israel carried out a limited attack before then.
 
Now Iran "vows harsh response to IDF attacks" - will those occur on Passover?

And the US has sanctioned IDF soldiers for fighting terrorists.  The US sanctioned private Israeli citizens in the West Bank earlier this year.  Again, another absurd move by the Biden administration.  Natnayahu said, "At a time when our soldiers are fighting terrorist monsters, the intention to sanction a unit in the IDF is the height of absurdity and a moral low..."
 
And "Sanctions must not be imposed on the Israel Defense Forces!"
Prime Minister Netanyahu calls it absurd to sanction IDF soldiers - Israel News - The Jerusalem Post
 
The House on Saturday, April 20, passed a $26 billion dollars for funding for Israel - except $9 billion goes to humanitarian aid for Hamas.  $4 billion is for replenishing Israel's missile defense system.  And $2.4 billion is for U.S. military operations in the region.  And there may be limits on IDF aid in the bill.

As for the IDF unit to be sanctioned by Biden - it's the IDF's 97th Netzah Yhuda Battalion.  Supposedly sanctions are for "abuses committed in the West Bank before October 7, 2023."
 
"The battalion is made up of ultra-Orthodox Jews with an emphasis on accommodating their religious practices...It has not been involved in active combat operations in Gaza.  "Among the human rights abuses cited was its involvement in the death of elderly Palestinian American Omar Assad, who died after he was handcuffed, gagged, and forced to lie on his stomach for an extended period."  "Israel launched an investigation into the incident but decided against pursuing criminal charges against anyone involved, choosing only to "reprimand" one of the commanders."
 
"The sanctions against the unit will prohibit it from receiving any US military aid, participating in activities receiving American funding, and taking part in training with the US military.  Several other units were investigated by the US for abuses but cleared after remedying the behavior.  The sanction against the Netzah Yehuda Battalion will be removed if they are seen to have taken credible moves to remedy the problem as well.  The unit was moved from the West Bank to the Golan Heights after reports of widespread abuses against other Palestinian civilians."

NO HAMAS was sanctioned by the Biden administration for October 7.  Even though there were plenty of videos and phone messages with names and faces.  NOT ONE was sanctioned!!  Hamas leaders in Qatar were sanctioned  - big deal!
 
If HAMAS had "handcuffed, gagged and forced Israelis to lie on their stomachs for an extended period" on October 7 instead of brutally raping, torturing, terrorizing, gunning down and kidnapping Jews (and some Americans) = would there had been sanctions against those people then???
 
The Biden administration is made up of evil people - hell bent on destroying Israel.  And making them grovel for every penny.  One day, Israel, the Jewish people, will be free of this evil administration and only God will be over them.  Can't happen soon enough!!!
 
Will Iran and her allies take advantage of the Passover season in Israel?  It's a good possibility.
 
During Passover week there is Passover, the Feast of Unleavened Bread and the Feast of Firstfruits (the resurrection day of Jesus Christ)...on to Day 8, 22 Nisan, April 30.
 
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
 
Maranatha!
