Christian Palestinian anon here
Moved to the USA legally due to all the wars
Got some of the taste of the ugliness of the war
Not many Christians are left there
In Gaza less than 1500 people (I have cousins there) and they don’t participate in any of the violence but they always get bombed one of the buildings that got bombed is in the Christian neighborhood
Just to say Gaza used to be like the hamptons in the USA, in the 1940’s it was full of beach houses second homes for the rich of the rich
In Nazareth it used to be 95 % Christians now less than 30%
It’s the same everywhere
Facts about Palestinians:
Top tier Palestinian are high ranking masons
My own father was approached to join but didn’t claimed that God doesn’t like secrets but he had friends on both sides (Jewish and Arab) and they did many favors to him but made us promise him on the Bible to never ever join, he spoke about satanic rituals
Hamas leaders have direct line with Netanyahu with some rumors that they are besties
The normies are very poor and traumatized as fuck, so they go through horror show on a daily basis
Gaza is one big prison with many things that is not allowed to enter
Normies on the street don’t like Hamas
Over the last decade Hamas would give monthly money to families if they act religiously wearing the hijab, coming to prayer and harassing Christians
80% of Palestinian and Israeli want peace and help each other on the street but someone keep stirring the pot
Israel and Palestine are segregated as fuck with no inter marriage so the Israeli have many different sects that don’t Mix and same thing in Palestine
The whole area over there goes through major war terror every 3-5 years
This anon doesn’t take sides, the solution is to marry them period
It’s very painful especially that they target children always kids
Ask any questions and I will give you answers to the best of my ability
Thank you Brother for this post/information. My heart breaks for the Palestinian people and all caught in the political mess of this. We pray for Palestine and Israel.
Here is more information that fits your top tier Palestinians are high ranking masons. The high level Zionists are too. The son of a Hamas founder was found to be an Israeli spy. IMHO, this 'declared war' is a false flag to initiate another land grab. For many years now, the Israelis have been making it unbearable for Christians and Palestinians to live under Israeli occupation. Hence, the depopulation of Christians in the region. All of this was in preparation for this False Flag event. Why now? IMHO, they were forced to act due to the Ukraine situation quickly deteriorating. This took the Rothschild's by surprise. So, another distraction had to take place. Expect Lebanon and Syria to be invaded. What will Russia and Iran do if this happens? Both have military pacts with Syria.
IMHO, the declaration of war against Hamas is not so much about the temple mount (as some people are saying), but initiating a land grab as part of the 'Greater Israel' goal. The end result is most likely the same, but establishing 'Greater Israel' is the goal with the accomplishment of that being perhaps crowned by taking over the temple mount (Haram Al-Sharif). Let's look at the actual history of the Haram Al-Sharif and the evidence of what it actually is.
Despite what we are told, the temple mount is not or never was the place where the Temple of Solomon and the subsequent Temple of Herod was located. This site is the remaining ruins of the Roman Fortress Antonia. The temple mount (Haram) is located on the highest position in the region. There's not a single record of Solomon's Temple being built on a high place. In fact, God advised against it. It is however a common practice for the military to build fortresses on high ground. Like all major fortresses, Josephus describes Fort Antonia as being built over a "rock" the highest point of the area. And the Haram Al-Sharif fits this depiction. No Biblical description of the Temple includes such a feature. In addition, the Temple Mount is not located in the ancient city of Jerusalem, but outside of it. The Temple was said to be the center of Jerusalem. King Solomon built the Temple on the site of the threshing floor of Araunah, which was IN the City of David. The Haram never was. Everything about this location is wrong. The dimensions are impossibly wrong.
These two quote from Josephus are probably two of the most important when it comes to defining exactly where the Temple stood. A furlong or a stade was about 606 ft in length.
The Southern Wall of the Temple Mount (The Haram) where the Royal Porch was supposedly situated does reach from valley to valley. The problem is to do that it has to be at least 922 ft in length. That's more than a football field discrepancy ( 316 ft. too long). For a manually constructed temple wall is a big deal. Hence what Josephus was describing could not have been the Haram Al-Sharif as we know it today. One of the major problems with his placing the Temple in the position mentioned is that the Southern Wall does not and cannot go from valley to valley.
That Temple Mount which is the very large oblong area dominating the site is surrounded by literally thousands of original Herodian era blocks of stone. But the gospels state unequivocally and Josephus also explicitly records (as an actual eye-witness) that NO block of stone was left of the Temple after the Roman assault.
The Romans raided Jerusalem under General Vesparian and subdued it. Four years later, the Emperor Titus had the temple disassembled and every stone was removed. Several sources (Roman, Greek, and Jewish, etc.) record that the Romans completely erased the Temple from its existence where "No stone was left un-turned". The Romans destroyed and carried away every last piece of the Temple in AD 70. The "Wailing Wall" in the early literature, including the Talmud refers to the western wall of the Temple itself. Nobody believes that the wall described today is anything other than the outer wall of a Herodian era structure. So how did the Western Wall become a Jewish religious site? I'll get to this in a moment, but first there's more evidence the Western Wall is not part of the Temple, but that of the former Roman Fort Antonia.
In 2000 years of research, excavation and exploration including a protracted search by the Templars, not ONE single artifact from the Temple of Jerusalem has ever been found. Even the inscription found at Hezikiah's tunnel, far from the alleged temple mount, gives proof that the Haram is NOT the site. Look this up for yourself. The overwhelming evidence continues to prove the 'Dome of the Rock' (Haram Al-Sharif) location is NOT the location where Solomon's temple once existed. Yet, the Temple mount will continue to be the site of the proposed 3rd temple.
From any tactical and geographical consideration the original Temple of Solomon would never have been built in an exposed northern "suburb" like the so-called 'Temple Mount. It must rather have been built in the Center of the City of David which by coincidence is right beside the Gihon Spring, which still exists today. For religious and practical reasons (due to the vast amount of animal sacrifices taking place) it was necessary to build the Temple near fresh running water. There is none on the Haram and only the Gihon Spring was such a source at the time of King David and King Solomon.
Fort Antonia was described by Josephus as being like a city with large areas for troop parades etc. A legion of troops (5000 fighting and 5000 support) was housed there. Only the Haram fits the description and the small area now designated the site of the Fort would have been impossibly small and wouldn't support a legion of troops.
How did the Western Wall become a Jewish religious site? The irony is truly amazing and is based on Jewish hatred of anything Roman.
The history of the 'Wailing Wall' is another remarkable story. I am amused that many Jews congregate and worship at what they believe is the remaining wall of the temple when in it is really a remaining wall of the Roman fortress Antonia. History tells us that every stone of Herod's temple was removed and carried away. Even the historian Flavius Josephus who lived in Jerusalem and knew exactly where Herod's temple once stood, later saw the aftermath of its total destruction, in which he stated that it was like it never existed. Every stone was removed and taken away. After the Roman defeat of the Jews, the location of the temple was lost. There was no worship at the Western wall until well after the time of the Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent came into power in the mid-1500s. He ordered a search of Jerusalem for it. Meir Ben Dov's book -- "The Western Wall" records how it was found. He writes:
"In the days of the king Sultan Suleiman nobody knew the location of the Temple, so he ordered a search of Jerusalem to find it.
One day, a man in charge of the search who had already given up hope, saw a woman coming and on her head was a basket full of garbage and filth.
"What is on your head?" he asked.
"Garbage" she said.
"Where are you taking it?" "To such-and-such a place".
"Where are you from?" He queried.
"From Bethlehem." She answered.
"And between Bethlehem and this place are there no garbage dumps?"
"We have a tradition that anyone who brings garbage and dumps it here is performing a meritorious work."
"This must be it" said the man and ordered many men to clear out the garbage from that spot, garbage which, because of the great time that had passed, had turned the earth at the bottom. And so he uncovered the holy place. He went and told the king who rejoiced greatly and ordered them to clean and sweep (the place) and wash the Wall with rose-water."
Rabbi Eliezer Nahman Puah ( Abboth de-Rabbi Nathan (A) 31. and Medrash Bahidush, 1641 p.31a) is reported to have stated in c. 1540 that in the day of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent (1495c -1566), the site of the Temple was unknown and he carried out an extensive search for it. A wall was finally found beneath a public garbage heap and everyone rejoiced that the site of the Holy Temple had been found.
This is the site of the Wailing Wall today!
Ironic, no? It is not only the wrong site (for this reason and many others), but it happens to be the remaining wall of the Roman Fortress Antonia, and it was used as garbage heap. Karma? No, it's False Israel.
More prophecy students need to know this, the Temple could be rebuilt now, but will not till the 70th week Dan.9:27. 2 Samuel 24:18-25 International Standard Version David Buys Araunah’s Threshing Floor 18 That very day, Gad approached David and told him, “Go up and build an altar to the Lord on the threshing floor that belongs to Araunah the Jebusite.” 19 So David went up, just as Gad had ordered, consistent with the Lord’s command.
20 When Araunah looked down, he saw the king and his staff approaching him. Araunah went out, bowed down before the king with his face on the ground, 21 and asked[a] him, “Why has your majesty the king come to his servant?”
David replied, “To purchase your threshing floor and to build an altar to the Lord, so the pestilence can be averted from the people.”
22 Araunah responded to David, “May your majesty the king take it and offer whatever pleases him. Here are oxen for a burnt offering, along with the threshing sledges and yokes from the oxen for wood! 23 Your majesty, Araunah gives all of this[b] to the king.” Araunah also told the king, “May the Lord your God be pleased with you!”
24 “No!” the king replied to Araunah. “I will buy them from you at full[c] price. I won’t offer to the Lord my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing.” So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for 50 silver shekels,[d] 25 built[e] an altar to the Lord there, and presented burnt offerings and peace offerings.Writer's picture Ward Sanford Jun 4, 2022 5 min read
Was Herod's Temple in the City of David? Updated: Oct 12, 2022
There is a popular theory circulating these days that Herod’s Temple was not located on the Temple Mount but in the City of David. Here I present some straightforward evidence that should convince you this was not the case. I am not the first to refute this theory, but I have friends who ask me about this, and so I thought it was worth the time to explain how I came to dismiss this theory.
A few years ago I googled on “Herod’s Temple”, as I am sure many people have, and then clicked on an interesting figure that showed a reconstruction of the temple south of the Temple Mount in the City of David. Reading a bit, I discovered there was a book by Earnest Martin called “The Temples that Jerusalem Forgot”. In his book he goes into detail about a theory that both Solomon's and Herod’s Temple were not where most people claim it to be—on the Temple Mount—but rather, in the City of David just to the south. If this is the only book on the subject you read, you may, like I did, find the arguments convincing. This was despite the fact the author repeats himself over and over and demeans those who might disagree. The theory is still supported today at the ASKELM website, and by other recent authors who have joined in on supporting the theory. I have spent 35 years conducting scientific investigations, and scientists must always consider ALL evidence, even those that might contradict one’s hypothesis. So, I decided to investigate further.
In the end I found much evidence that in my mind disproves the City of David theory. Here are the main points:
(1) The City of David continues to be excavated to the extent that proves Herod’s Temple could not have been there. Martin argued that “no stone was left upon another” and therefore no stone would be found still in place. The problem is that other pre-Herod buildings have been uncovered in nearly all locations in the City of David. If Herod’s Temple had been there, the builders would have had to destroy the buildings that existed at the time—but those foundations are still intact today.
(2) The Temple Mount was not Fortress Antonia. Martin argues (1) the size is very similar to other Roman legion fortresses and that (2) the smaller version proposed by most other scholars is too small. These two points might be true, but do not prove the Temple Mount was Fortress Antonia. Other evidence suggests otherwise. First, a large stone that fell from the top of the outer wall was discovered adjacent to the Mount with an inscription in Hebrew (not Latin) locating the place where temple priests blew their trumpets. It’s hard to imagine Romans inscribing Hebrew in their fortress wall. Second, Josephus describes the bottom of the walls of the Fortress as having glacis supports:
In the photo below you can see to what Josephus was describing. This one is on one of Herod’s Towers built at exactly the same time as Fortress Antonia. The bare irregular rock outcrop was covered in this way for better defense. It could not easily be climbed, and siege rams would be deflected. And a small wall, as described by Josephus, is present at the top of the glacis, with a small walkway for defenders to use. No such glacis exists anywhere around the Temple Mount, whose walls have been excavated in many places down to their base.
(3) Martin argues the Fortress had to be large because a Roman Legion was stationed there. But there was no legion stationed there before 70 AD. This becomes very clear if you read Josephus’ Jewish Wars. He says that a garrison was stationed there—not several thousand well-trained soldiers, but a few hundred guards. The Roman legions were used for open warfare against armies, not to keep the peace in cities already conquered. Records of the legion’s movements were well recorded in history. None were stationed in Jerusalem before 70 AD. The rebels routed the garrison at the Fortress when they took over the city in 66 AD. They never could have overpowered a legion within a Roman fortress. In fact, later that year the Romans sent a legion to try to retake the entire city. The absence of a legion at Jerusalem before 70 AD is a huge hole in Martin’s argument.
(4) Martin claims that “living” water was only available from the Gihon Spring in David’s City and that no such water was available on the Temple Mount. Living water is water that has not sat still overnight--in cisterns for example. Spring water is thus a great source that qualifies for purification, and indeed the Gihon Spring was used for this. But the Talmud describes how the Temple services got around this. First the largest volumes of water used, for cleaning the floors of sacrificial blood, did not require living water, and so water could be used straight from the large cisterns beneath the mount. The Talmud describes a water wheel that was used to raise this water to the Temple. In addition, aqueduct water fed the Temple Mount and the cisterns continuously, such that continuous flow through smaller cisterns may well have qualified as living water. The Talmud describes a special sealed bucket that was designed for lifting this water up to the Temple each day for many of the purification rites.
Many other scholars and writers have discussed many of these lines of evidence, and others, that refute the claim that would place the Temple in the City of David. The ones I have listed above have been convincing enough for me.
Cry For Jerusalem is a series of historical fiction books covering the seven years leading up to the burning of Herod’s Temple and the Siege of Jerusalem in 70 CE.
Author Ward Sanford gives this period of history new depth in Cry For Jerusalem and showcasing the works of eyewitness historian Flavius Josephus in a new way with this fictional yet fact-based dramatization.
In the CFJ blog section Ward covers subjects to do with the vast amount of research that went into the CFJ novel series, including Ancient Jerusalem, the Roman Empire, and Biblical topics and the writings of Josephus.
IMHO, this is extraneous apologetics for the great lie being perpetrated by free-masonry. To construct fantastic stories of getting water to a dry plateau is not plausible and not according to 'in the city of David' record. Everything was centered around the center of city. This dry plateau was outside of the city. It's a big stretch to validate a supposed remains of a temple that doesn't fit its footprint or 'no stone left unturn' reporting and record.
In 2000 years of research, excavation and exploration including a protracted search by the Templars, not ONE single artifact from the Temple of Jerusalem has ever been found. Even the inscription found at Hezikiah's tunnel, far from the alleged temple mount, gives proof that the Haram is NOT the site. Look this up for yourself. The overwhelming evidence continues to prove the 'Dome of the Rock' (Haram Al-Sharif) location is NOT the location where Solomon's temple once existed. Yet, the Temple mount will continue to be the site of the proposed 3rd temple.

A wall was finally found beneath a public garbage heap and everyone rejoiced that the site of the Holy Temple had been found.
The Talmud was compiled as a result of the absolute destruction of Herod’s temple, in which every stone was carried away leaving no trace of it’s existence. This means that the so-called Wailing Wall could not possibly exist. Furthermore, the Romans were extremely thorough in carrying out the edicts of Rome. One case in point is the total destruction of Hannibal's Carthage, to which the fertile soils were salted so it no long could produce crops to feed Carthage or for export. So thoroughly wasted was the soils surrounding Carthage that today the soil is still not suitable for growing crops. In the Talmud, we learn:
In 66 CE, when the Roman general Vespasian swept into Jerusalem, Judaism was a cultic, oral religion, with Herod's massive temple as its lodestar. Everything happened in the temple complex. Four years later, Vespasian's son Titus razed it to the ground. The Rabbi's witnessed to their horror the stones of the temple being toppled over. A quote from the Talmud:
"Where was God under the rubble?" wondered the Rabbis.
"How to praise him now that the temple was gone?" The sages agreed: Jews would have to BECOME a people of the book (Torah), or they would disappear.
Hence, they were NOT a people of the book before this time.
The million dollar question is who was there first?
In Gaza the Philistines where there 1st Gen.10:6 The sons of Ham were Cush and Mizraim :13 Mizraim [g]became the father of Ludim and Anamim and Lehabim and Naphtuhim 14 and Pathrusim and Casluhim (from which came the Philistines) and Caphtorim. (Goliath was a Philistine: 1Sam.17:17 4 Then a champion came out from the armies of the Philistines named Goliath, from Gath, whose height was six [a]cubits and a span. (Royal cubit=20", span= 6"+ He was appox.10'-6'') The Philistines were the enemies of the O.T. Israel for a long time.
That is a lot of words
