A warning from history
The US has suffered major catastrophes on the very same day or within 48 hours of a president applying pressure on Israel to trade her land for promises of “peace”. What will this mean for the UK, France and Canada if they recognise a Palestinian ‘state’?

On the first sabbath of October 2023, Israel was attacked by Hamas terrorists who streamed in from Gaza. They inflicted devastation on the Jewish people on a scale not seen since the Holocaust. Interestingly, this was exactly 50 years since the surprise attack of the Arab nations on Israel, again on the first sabbath of the month – 7 October 1973. Israel was almost overwhelmed until President Nixon intervened with American aid.
The exact 50-year span between these events is likely an example of Satan mimicking God’s jubilee periods. This time, however, Israel has proved much stronger and has been able to destroy a large part of Hamas, neutralise the threat of Hezbollah in Lebanon, check the rise of ISIS in Syria, and set back the Iranian nuclear programme aimed at Israel’s destruction.
For a short while in October 2023 there was much international sympathy for the suffering of Israel, but this quickly turned into hostility as anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian marchers took to the streets in many parts of the world. These have continued ever since, and Jewish communities have been harassed and left insecure on a scale not seen since 1930s Germany.
