<blockquote>There is an “extraordinary opportunity” in the months ahead for Israel to be integrated into the Middle East as Arab countries are willing to normalize ties with the country, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken says.<br><br>
Speaking at a panel at the Munich Security Conference, Blinken also highlights the “urgent” imperative to proceed with a Palestinian state that would also ensure the security of Israel.<br><br>
“Virtually every Arab country now genuinely wants to integrate Israel into the region to normalize relations… to provide security commitments and assurances so that Israel can feel more safe,” Blinken says.</blockquote>
Christians... does this remind you of something??<br><br>
Daniel 9:27 - Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, Even until the consummation, which is determined, Is poured out on the desolate.”<br><br>
This is exactly what Bible scholars have been predicting for thousands of years! It really seems to be happening! I wonder who this person will be that gets them to agree...

<blockquote>A MESSAGE FROM AMIR - PLEASE HELP!
Today I was informed that Wikipedia cancelled me, citing that my reference page was too “biased”, while the listing of my books was deemed “inappropriate”. Wikipedia is purported to be an unbiased information site that allows people access to information that others deem important. Thousands of authors are included with their books clearly listed. However, Wikipedia has singled me out for deletion.
While this is very frustrating, it is not surprising. The amount of antisemitic flak that I’ve been receiving from an ever-expanding list of sources due to me being an Israeli who is committed to telling the truth about October 7 and the War in Gaza has compounded daily. This is not the first time that I’ve been cancelled, and I fully expect it to spread to other venues. But I can tell you this, even if I am reduced to simply opening my front door and preaching from my threshhold to my neighbors, there is nothing that will keep me from teaching the truth about God’s Word and how it relates to our present times.
The enemy has mobilized his army against Behold Israel and the truth that we share, and this is simply the latest salvo. What they don’t understand is that God has blessed us with an army also. Our army is strong, passionate, and is as determined as I am to spread the truth. How should our army respond to this attack? If they cancel me on the internet, I say that we take our battle to the bookstore.
Many of you have heard from me before that if we reach 15,000+ pre-sold copies of Discovering Daniel, we will secure a place on bestseller lists, which will trigger every major brick and mortar store into making it available on their shelves and promoting it to the non-believing world. That is a spreading of truth that the enemy cannot stop.
Rarely am I so blunt in my requests and I apologize if it offends anyone, but what Wikipedia has done is beyond the pale and is a clear sign of what is to come. I am unashamedly asking you to preorder numerous copies of Discovering Daniel, a book that unpacks Bible prophecy in an easy-to-understand approach, and emphasizes the practical side of understanding God’s plan, heart and love for His people. It’s informative and evangelistic and will fill your friends and family with hope while clearly sharing the Gospel.
The enemy has taken a shot at us, but, through you, we can take what the enemy meant for evil and make it good.

<blockquote>David Teeger, a rising star on South Africa’s cricket scene, has been removed as the country’s Under-19 team captain on the eve of the world championship competition.
</blockquote><blockquote>Cricket South Africa cited threats to Teeger, who is Jewish, and the team over Israel’s war in Gaza ahead of the U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup, which South Africa is hosting.</blockquote><blockquote>“We have been advised that protests related to the war in Gaza can be anticipated at the venues for the tournament. We have also been advised that they are likely to focus on… David Teeger,” the organization says in a statement.</blockquote><blockquote>“CSA has decided that David should be relieved of the captaincy for the tournament,” Cricket South Africa adds. “This is in the best interests of all the players, the SA U19 team, and David himself.” The statement says he would remain an “important and active member” of the team.</blockquote>

<a href="https://www.celebratingholidays.com/?page_id=996" target="_blank">https://www.celebratingholidays.com/?page_id=996</a>
<blockquote>By the Middle Ages, Christians were celebrating the remarkable event of Jesus’ birth with an extended season that began with Advent (four Sundays before Christmas) and continued for the 12 Days after Christmas (up until Epiphany on January 6th). The time preceding Christmas used to be a solemn time of fasting, whereas the days after Christmas were the time of celebration. Christians looked forward to the Midnight Mass of Christmas Eve with great anticipation, because it was the service that marked the transition from fasting to feasting. This service, known as “Christ’s Mass,” eventually became a description for celebrations of Jesus’ birth throughout the world. The word Christmas has its origin from the old English term Cristes Maesse, meaning “Christ’s Mass.”</blockquote>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2455269750909668574.post-87963966616896033672023-12-25T13:09:00.004-05:002023-12-25T13:37:58.864-05:00The Story of Christmas (The Birth of Jesus, The Christ)<b><u>Reading Order for Full Story</u></b><br />

Mat 1:18-25<br />
Luk 2:1-21<br />
Mat 2:1-23<br />
Luk 2:22-40<br />
<p>Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary. And having come in, the angel said to her, "Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!" But when
she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was. Then the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you
have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name JESUS. He will be great, and will be called
the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom
there will be no end." Then Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I do not know a man?" And the angel answered and said to her, "The Holy Spirit will
come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God. Now indeed,
Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren. For with God nothing will be
impossible." Then Mary said, "Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word." And the angel departed from her. (Luke 1:26-38 NKJV)</p>
<p>Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not wanting to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly. But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins." So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: "BEHOLD, THE VIRGIN SHALL BE WITH CHILD, AND BEAR A SON, AND THEY SHALL CALL HIS NAME IMMANUEL," which is translated, "God with us." Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife, and did not know her till she had brought forth her firstborn Son. And he called His name JESUS.
(Matthew 1:18-25 NKJV)
</p>
<p>And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. This census first took place while Quirinius was governing Syria. So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city. Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child. So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. Then the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger." And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: "Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!" So it was, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, "Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us." And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger. Now when they had seen Him, they made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child. And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart. Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them. And when eight days were completed for the circumcision of the Child, His name was called JESUS, the name given by the angel before He was conceived in the womb.
(Luke 2:1-21 NKJV)
</p>
<p>Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, "Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him." When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. So they said to him, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written by the prophet: 'BUT YOU, BETHLEHEM, IN THE LAND OF JUDAH, ARE NOT THE LEAST AMONG THE RULERS OF JUDAH; FOR OUT OF YOU SHALL COME A RULER WHO WILL SHEPHERD MY PEOPLE ISRAEL.' " Then Herod, when he had secretly called the wise men, determined from them what time the star appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem and said, "Go and search carefully for the young Child, and when you have found Him, bring back word to me, that I may come and worship Him also." When they heard the king, they departed; and behold, the star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Then, being divinely warned in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed for their own country another way. Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, "Arise, take the young Child and His mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I bring you word; for Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him." When he arose, he took the young Child and His mother by night and departed for Egypt, and was there until the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, "OUT OF EGYPT I CALLED MY SON." Then Herod, when he saw that he was deceived by the wise men, was exceedingly angry; and he sent forth and put to death all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all its districts, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had determined from the wise men. Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying: "A VOICE WAS HEARD IN RAMAH, LAMENTATION, WEEPING, AND GREAT MOURNING, RACHEL WEEPING FOR HER CHILDREN, REFUSING TO BE COMFORTED, BECAUSE THEY ARE NO MORE." Now when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying, "Arise, take the young Child and His mother, and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the young Child's life are dead." Then he arose, took the young Child and His mother, and came into the land of Israel. But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea instead of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And being warned by God in a dream, he turned aside into the region of Galilee. And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, "He shall be called a Nazarene."
(Matthew 2:1-23 NKJV)
</p>
<p>Now when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were completed, they brought Him to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord (as it is written in the law of the Lord, "EVERY MALE WHO OPENS THE WOMB SHALL BE CALLED HOLY TO THE LORD" ), and to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the law of the Lord, "A PAIR OF TURTLEDOVES OR TWO YOUNG PIGEONS." And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon, and this man was just and devout, waiting for the Consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ. So he came by the Spirit into the temple. And when the parents brought in the Child Jesus, to do for Him according to the custom of the law, he took Him up in his arms and blessed God and said: "Lord, now You are letting Your servant depart in peace, According to Your word; For my eyes have seen Your salvation Which You have prepared before the face of all peoples, A light to bring revelation to the Gentiles, And the glory of Your people Israel." And Joseph and His mother marveled at those things which were spoken of Him. Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary His mother, "Behold, this Child is destined for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which will be spoken against (yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul also), that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed." Now there was one, Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was of a great age, and had lived with a husband seven years from her virginity; and this woman was a widow of about eighty-four years, who did not depart from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day. And coming in that instant she gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke of Him to all those who looked for redemption in Jerusalem. So when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own city, Nazareth. And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him.
(Luke 2:22-40 NKJV)

In the Israeli hospitals the medical team has revered the damaged Hamas sadistic terrorists caused them.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgB8FFompc1dllQThpZfTld6zwW9od7wCbiqWsOWh1mT-Cq1qKUPTuOsyVH2gMkcijjoy_wVEfjcvyovp5wQFvnMh1wdDfsMm2bX9nQ7pyGF8AQZfpX7CfgRbWBHd3gSz3SOyw2cQmNTQZ5JU1sGioO0B8VBiX6DTYhN5NjA8JQawI8HxTV0yN6_98Zmdzm" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="626" data-original-width="680" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgB8FFompc1dllQThpZfTld6zwW9od7wCbiqWsOWh1mT-Cq1qKUPTuOsyVH2gMkcijjoy_wVEfjcvyovp5wQFvnMh1wdDfsMm2bX9nQ7pyGF8AQZfpX7CfgRbWBHd3gSz3SOyw2cQmNTQZ5JU1sGioO0B8VBiX6DTYhN5NjA8JQawI8HxTV0yN6_98Zmdzm" width="261" /></a></div><br /><br /><p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2455269750909668574.post-76818243168474663502023-12-05T10:33:00.005-05:002023-12-05T10:35:55.404-05:00In 1939, the Flag of "Palestine" Was the Star of David<p style="text-align: center;"> Just going to leave this here...</p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhDVwu8NI1kfIUnhZffgn_XwJwcx4mJyd4SbbwXAJ40QslsQuPJgdhA4a02XD9PSxNBa-NAE6VIZFir_4Hikrfb6zGCnIVzydQHrkgtga2cn0YlAHKRGWvAuOuMy81jizbIuj0ea11rgtSdnovlk-0bWrgduZ3Vj7SJfZDCYfRZpJcLrV9LVFORXZfm624N" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="960" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhDVwu8NI1kfIUnhZffgn_XwJwcx4mJyd4SbbwXAJ40QslsQuPJgdhA4a02XD9PSxNBa-NAE6VIZFir_4Hikrfb6zGCnIVzydQHrkgtga2cn0YlAHKRGWvAuOuMy81jizbIuj0ea11rgtSdnovlk-0bWrgduZ3Vj7SJfZDCYfRZpJcLrV9LVFORXZfm624N" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /></div><br /><br /><p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2455269750909668574.post-11235307783448239772023-12-03T20:01:00.002-05:002023-12-03T20:01:27.029-05:00Avigdor Lieberman: There Are No Innocents in Gaza<h1 style="text-align: center;"> There are no innocents in Gaza.</h1><p><br /></p><p>For years, good people with good intentions and it's safe to say naive, believed in and promoted the idea of peace between us and the Palestinians. People who believed with all their hearts in the idea of two states and thought that normal people who dream the same dream live in Gaza.</p><p>A dream that shattered into pieces on October 7, 2023.</p><p>After recovering from the initial shock of the terrible massacre and with the revelation of the evidence of the atrocities committed by the Nazi terrorists, there is no shadow of a doubt that those who took part in the attack on the Gaza Strip, provided the intelligence on the homes of the residents and led the mob in the second wave of looting and destruction, were Gazans who worked in the settlements they invaded. They made a living and ate in the homes of the massacred residents, those residents who helped them and their families when they were sick and took care of transporting them from Gaza to Israel for life-saving treatments in hospitals in Israel.</p><p>The late Vivian Silver, from Kibbutz Be’eri, was one of those people who worked for peace and for the people of Gaza. She established aid programs for Gazans, made sure the workers were paid fair wages, transported the sick to hospital treatment and a few days before the massacre organized a peace rally in Jerusalem where Israeli women marched alongside women. On the Black Saturday, she was murdered with terrible cruelty by the very people she had worked for over the years, and none of the residents of Gaza condemned the murder or expressed shock.</p><p>Some will say that the residents of Gaza are afraid of Hamas and that is why we have not heard any condemnation from them, but the scenes we are witnessing in the last few days every evening when our abductees are transferred to the Red Cross and the testimonies of those who have returned from captivity, leave no room for doubt.</p><p>Hamas receives overwhelming support in Gaza.</p><p>The enraged crowd that insults and spits on the abductees, our small children who say they were beaten by Gazans of all ages and the demonstrations of joy and support for terrorists throughout Gaza, testify to the cruelty of the population that educates its children to hate the State of Israel and trains a new generation of terrorists and supporters of terrorism whose goal is the destruction of the State of Israel for all its citizens.</p><p>Gaza is a wasp's nest of terrorists.</p><p>There is complete synchronization between Hamas and "innocent" citizens and the story of Roni Kariboy, who was kidnapped from the music festivalby the bad guys, illustrates this. Roni managed to escape from captivity and hide for a few days, until Gazans caught him and returned him to his captors.</p><p>This is probably the reason why the terrorists marked the legs of the kidnapped children with the exhaust pipe of a motorcycle in order to make it easy to identify them in case they escape.</p><p>Another evidence of the full cooperation of the population can be found in the corridors of Shifa Hospital, where the hospital director and other senior doctors helped the terrorists hide hostages and turned the hospital into a haven for terrorists. But it's not only in hospitals that you find collaborators, also in private homes of UNRWA medical professionals and teachers where hostages were held in terrible conditions.</p><p>These things are also reflected in social networks, in the Arab world and in Gaza. 99.9% of all publications are words of praise and wall-to-wall support for Hamas and the horrible acts of October 7th.</p><p>Now someone show me where innocent people who are not involved in terrorism are hiding in the Gaza Strip.</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2455269750909668574.post-33015321151396312582023-11-29T18:54:00.000-05:002023-11-29T18:54:00.670-05:00The Tribulation vs. The Great Tribulation<p> Are the tribulation and the great tribulation the same thing?</p><p><br /></p><p>Simple answer: </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://nocamels.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/grumpycatmeme.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="271" data-original-width="500" height="271" src="https://nocamels.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/grumpycatmeme.jpg" width="500" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p>Let's dive in.</p><p>Dan 9 shows that the tribulation is 7 years, but the great tribulation is the second half of the tribulation. The tribulation is the full 7 years, but the tribulation is divided in two halves. The first half is really bad because of the seal judgements that Jesus enacts, but the trumpet and bowl judgements are going to be really, really bad.</p><p>The term "great tribulation" comes from Jesus Himself, explaining the period after the Antichrist sets up the abomination that causes desolation:</p><blockquote><p><a href="https://www.bibleref.com/Matthew/24/Matthew-24-15.html" style="background-color: white;

This makes complete sense if you interpret this passage literally and understand that the church will not be here during the tribulation. This portion of scripture is written for the Jews. The great tragedy of the tribulation is that 2/3 of the Jewish people will be wiped out. 1/3 of the Jews will realize that Jesus was the messiah and follow Him. So basically, Jesus is telling the Jews that the last half of the tribulation, after the Antichrist sets up the abomination, things are going to get so bad that He called it the great tribulation, and that it's going to be worse than any period ever experienced in history. That is why it's the great tribulation.</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2455269750909668574.post-89521012919719749022023-11-24T17:25:00.005-05:002023-11-24T17:30:25.504-05:00Jesus: The Wife Beater<p> I recently heard one of the best arguments for the pre-tribulation rapture.

Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?” And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll, or to look at it.</div><div><br /></div><div>So I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open and read the scroll, or to look at it. But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals.”</div><div><br /></div><div>And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth. Then He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne.</div><div><br /></div><div>Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. And they sang a new song, saying:</div><div><br /></div><div>“You are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have redeemed us to God by Your blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth.”</div></blockquote><div><br /></div><div>Notice who grabs the scroll. It's Jesus!</div><div><br /></div><div><b>What is the scroll for?</b></div><div><br /></div><div>The following chapter, Rev 6, shows that Jesus opens the seals, and each seal is a judgement. After these seals are opened, at the very minimum, 1/4 of the population of the world is dead. That's not including the hyperinflation, conquests and wars. If the Church is still on Earth, 1/4 will be killed... by Jesus! That would make Him a wife-beater. Do you think He's a wife-beater? If not, consider the logical choice and concede that the Church will be raptured before the tribulation. You don't even need any other scripture, but there is plenty.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2455269750909668574.post-22664409738149974712023-11-21T09:38:00.003-05:002023-11-21T09:38:27.523-05:00Guy Morad: #METOO<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTTqP-inuMZIptQzSmkun_5oQoL8MqdV-jF8cm1VpIIZZcKZ6whVDz4nIQJkhjYn-VXa10SO5joVJJOzbjvt_cwfagtxuOzhwAiCs-8jz7SxMPGuJMiUMi29kPGor-6qldQURWX4SrXvS3I39I-Si-UA_M5_iCn6eF5pBNm5ENrzieV7QqXh-fylcDtiPr/s1280/photo_5107521967229086930_y.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="400" data-original-height="1076" data-original-width="1280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTTqP-inuMZIptQzSmkun_5oQoL8MqdV-jF8cm1VpIIZZcKZ6whVDz4nIQJkhjYn-VXa10SO5joVJJOzbjvt_cwfagtxuOzhwAiCs-8jz7SxMPGuJMiUMi29kPGor-6qldQURWX4SrXvS3I39I-Si-UA_M5_iCn6eF5pBNm5ENrzieV7QqXh-fylcDtiPr/s400/photo_5107521967229086930_y.jpg"/></a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2455269750909668574.post-73359400799291553602023-11-17T09:39:00.004-05:002023-11-21T13:30:35.156-05:00Arab World for Research and Development - 7 Oct 2023 Poll<a href="https://www.awrad.org/en/article/10719/Wartime-Poll-Results-of-an-Opinion-Poll-Among-Palestinians-in-the-West-Bank-and-Gaza-Strip">https://www.awrad.org/en/article/10719/Wartime-Poll-Results-of-an-Opinion-Poll-Among-Palestinians-in-the-West-Bank-and-Gaza-Strip</a><br /><br />

The team conducted the survey through tablet-assisted, face-to-face interviews across the West Bank and in shelters and households in the three “southern” Gaza governorates (Deir Al Balah, Khan Younis, and Rafah) where people were presently residing. The poll’s sample includes all socioeconomic groups, ensuring equal representation of adult men and women, and is proportionately distributed across the West Bank and Gaza. </div></div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhJQMjEvZlDQDvFoeAJI_I6Ad_lE5Hi-GZuuztg8ErpUxQg5f2ZPPgeWcxxEKdLAGAFxYOR3xgs9AF5bKQhaSuPdvuEy1t3LI1dy4WG-RyMfq9aq-w4Q8XDntf-OcB5isYoFRqiDOoTQm0NDy8_HulxmAGzkqVdfmJIshaFFkpHeer4vr4GhxzF8NbV3KPS" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="648" data-original-width="1153" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhJQMjEvZlDQDvFoeAJI_I6Ad_lE5Hi-GZuuztg8ErpUxQg5f2ZPPgeWcxxEKdLAGAFxYOR3xgs9AF5bKQhaSuPdvuEy1t3LI1dy4WG-RyMfq9aq-w4Q8XDntf-OcB5isYoFRqiDOoTQm0NDy8_HulxmAGzkqVdfmJIshaFFkpHeer4vr4GhxzF8NbV3KPS=w400-h225" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">But I thought the "Palestinians" were oppressed!
