From the River to the Sea

Yahoo! News is at it again.

The fog of war and propaganda is so thick, I can’t see two feet in front of my face. I saw another article online today that proves that.

This week, Yahoo gave aid and comfort to the enemy by publishing an article that offers absurd explanations for the genocidal “From the River to the Sea” mantra shouted by pro-Hamas supporters. It’s important to understand though, that this phrase found its origins from the PLO, or the so-called “Palestinian Authority.”

Simply put, the meaning is obvious: the Arabs aim to destroy the Jewish state. The phrase refers specifically—and only—to the territory between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. Those are the current borders of the state of Israel.

“From the River to the Sea” has been a long-used genocidal declaration from the Palestinians. Now it is being uttered by tragically ignorant college students…in America. I should say, some are ignorant. Incredibly, some do know what they are saying. They are monsters, every bit as much as the active terrorists. Terrorism has many arms, among them the Fifth Column rabble-rousers and the Media.

It is the Media that does the most damage. Because Yahoo’s overseers demand the propaganda continue 24/7, this week it was decided to attempt to do damage-control since the phrase is used so much now. Once people understand exactly the meaning of River to Sea, it becomes necessary to lie to them, as “journalists” like Peter Jennings did immediately after 9/11, when he held a townhall to whitewash Islam.

In this case this week, the article backdrop was the congressional censure of the fiendish Rashida Tlaib, who has used the phrase. She knows exactly what it means, but uses the Media to fool Americans:

“The phrase, which Tlaib has defended as ‘an aspirational call for freedom, human rights and peaceful coexistence, not death, destruction or hate,’ has not only become a flashpoint for dispute in Washington; it has echoed across college campuses and in cities throughout the country in recent weeks as pro-Palestinian activists protest the heavy civilian toll of Israel’s war against Hamas. The slogan has prompted charges of antisemitism and fueled an increasingly bitter debate over the conflict, its root causes and how it should be waged — and what position the United States should be taking as it rages on.”

Again, the phrase itself is very, very obvious. It is the task of the terrorists to muddy that.

Get a load of this:

“The decades-old phrase has a complicated backstory that has led to radically different interpretations by Israelis and Palestinians — and by Americans who support them.

“’The reason why this term is so hotly disputed is because it means different things to different people,’ said Dov Waxman, a professor of Israel studies at UCLA, adding that ‘the conflicting interpretations have kind of grown over time.’”

No, it doesn’t mean different things.

Even the article itself reveals the obvious truth, but they are counting on people not understanding history or geopolitics.

“For many Palestinians, the phrase now has a dual meaning, representing their desire for a right of return to the towns and villages from which their families were expelled in 1948, as well as their hope for an independent Palestinian state, incorporating the West Bank, which abuts the Jordan River, and the Gaza Strip, which hugs the coastline of the Mediterranean.”

That exact scenario literally means that Israel disappears. And make no mistake: The Arabs of ’48 lost their homes because the Arab League told them to leave, then they could return in a few weeks once the Zionist enemy is vanquished. Because they Jews refused to die, Israel survived. That is the key to that quoted piece of the article above; “returning” to ’48 lines means literally that Israel won’t survive. And even those that advocate a “One-State” solution, meaning, a bi-national state not known as Israel means Israel disappears.

The Yahoo news article aiming to fool people, to lie to them about the Arabs’ genocidal aims, is diabolical. It is as evil as what is going on with Hamas. I’m disgusted by this article.

Now more than ever, it’s important to filter-out truth from error.

And there’s a lot of error.

Wolves as Sheep

I’ve never seen so many enemies come out of the woodwork in opposition to Israel.

Some of them you can’t see.

In the 17 years I’ve been writing this column, I try to bring you information you won’t find anywhere else. This week’s column is another example of that. I want to talk not so much about Israel’s prosecution of the war against Hamas, but about some of the reasons they have so many enemies.

First, the answer to why Israel has so many enemies is theological. Only theological. We’ve discussed in the past that this began at the beginning, Genesis 3. For it was there that God set enmity between the Jewish people and the serpent. Enmity means perpetual war. The serpent would oppose mightily the woman that would deliver the Child, the coming Redeemer. He was born into a Jewish family in is ancestral land. The enmity is ancient.

It’s the enemies we can’t see that are perhaps the most dangerous.

One such example—incredibly—comes from the heart of evangelicalism. A decade ago, a relatively unknown Southern Baptist seminary professor, Russell Moore, took over as president of the denomination’s Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission. The ERLC has been the “public policy arm” of the SBC for quite some time. As if an ostensibly Gospel-oriented group needs a policy arm to mimic the world. Millions of dollars go into the ERLC budget each year.

Moore would prove to be (in my estimation) a subversive, a plant that would take the SBC in a left-wing direction. Further, his views of Israel show him to be a Replacement Theology guy, although like most that adhere to that heresy, he claims he is not.

A couple years ago, Moore left the SBC and got a bigger platform: editor of the left-wing magazine, Christianity Today. On the very day of the satanic Hamas attacks on Israel, October 7, Moore penned what appears to be a pro-Israel op-ed for CT. He said some of the right things, but then in the second paragraph, he said this:

“Some might assume that evangelical Protestants automatically support Israel based on eschatological views that cast the modern state of Israel in some role in biblical prophecy. For some, this is indeed the case. Many of us, though, don’t share those beliefs. We believe the promises of God are fulfilled in Christ, not in the 1948 Israeli Declaration of Independence. Many of us are quite willing to call out Israel when we believe it is acting wrongly. We don’t believe the Israeli Knesset is somehow inerrant or infallible.”

Do you see what he did? He gutted Israel’s historical claim to the Land. It’s why I don’t believe him. He is disingenuous. He wants to make what appears to be a pro-Israel statement, in order to placate the more-conservative wing of the Church. But he believes none of the genuinely pro-Israel text of the Bible. He wants to—needs to—let you know that he isn’t willing to “cast the modern state of Israel in some role in biblical prophecy.” He’s too intellectual for that.

Moore also on his personal website penned an article about one of his heroes, John Stott. Stott, a British priest in the Anglican Church, was also not “an Israel guy.”

One article provides a look inside this theologian’s view of Israel:

“In February 1987, I had an opportunity to meet Dr. Stott and asked ‘What is your perspective now on Zionism and Christian Zionism in particular?’ He paused, then answered: ‘After considerable study, I have concluded that Zionism and especially Christian Zionism are biblically untenable.’”

Moore has been greatly influenced by such “thinkers.” Men that have followed in the footsteps of untold scholars and clergy of the last century that infected our seminaries with “anti-Zionist” (read, anti-Semitic) thinking.

When Moore left for a plusher perch, his hand-picked successor was Brent Leatherwood. I knew exactly what his policy views would be. They would be identical to his mentor.

Sure enough, continuing with what I consider to be clever propaganda in the war against the Jews and Israel, Leatherwood after the October 7 attacks produced a podcast with ERLC staffer Lindsay Nicolet and their guest, Paul Miller. The latter, a professor at Georgetown University, a senior fellow at the Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security at the Atlantic Council, and a member of the U.S. Army, also served as a CIA analyst. Question: why are Southern Baptist leaders platforming a person with such credentials? What are the odds he will be genuinely pro-Israel?

Not good.

(By the way, the Scrowcroft Center is named for General Brent Scowcroft, a leading advisor for President George H.W. Bush, a member of the same team that pressured Israel into the disastrous Oslo Accords in 1991. Those evil men were of the same ilk as the Arabist State Department, Deep Staters that were definitely no friends of Israel.)

In fact, right on cue, the podcast conversation revealed three people that 1. Support a Palestinian state 2. Really don’t know much (Israel’s independence was in 1947? Some analyst. 3. Followed the Washington Regime’s talking points about the need for Israel to show restrain so as to minimize civilian casualties.

Not once did they describe the real scope of the Hamas attacks. This is classic Washington/Media speak. Talk about “war breaking out,” etc., and people have no real idea what happened, or why. In this particular situation, the listening audience doesn’t know much (and Leatherwood pointed out that rank-and-file don’t know much at all about this jihad against Jews), and so no one told them that Hamas demons murdered children in front of their parents, cut off women’s breasts, gouged-out husband’s eyes, raped females of all ages, burned people alive, etc.

At one point, Miller let us know he supports the establishment of a Palestinian state.

Also, incredibly and perhaps most disturbingly, he claimed that Hamas and the “Palestinian Authority”/PLO are two completely separate entities and while the PA isn’t always right, they are still nowhere near what Hamas is.

That is a lie. Believe me, a CIA analyst knows this. He, like Leatherwood and Moore, is a propagandist for the Left.

The PLO is the PA. The PLO, since its founding in 1964, has been a murderous terrorist group dedicated to murdering Jews and eliminating the state of Israel. Like its Hamas cousins, the PLO charter to this day calls for the elimination of the state of Israel. The ERLC platformed on a podcast a propagandist that wants to delude the audience.

Evangelical leadership, a sizeable part of it, is anti-Israel. That’s just the way it is. Reformed theologians have burrowed-in in recent decades, and the constant efforts of the Palestinians to dupe Americans has paid dividends. The SBC, the Assemblies of God, and other non-denominational entities have moved away from Israel support. The smaller churches and many rank-and-file members (such as readers of this column) are pro-Israel and love the Jewish people.

But the loudest voices and the leadership are corrupt.

Learn to see the wolves.
