Larry Ellison, a billionaire, is busy trying to buy up media outlets including CBS. I’m not entirely sure more billionaires controlling the media is a cause for celebration.

Beware of people who tell you what you want to hear.

i agree with caution in all matters, esp earthly politics.
to witness hillary speaking as a lucid intelligent human being is unexpected. her clock’s running out.

this could have profound impact even wrt what’s currently happening in certain U.S. cities.
i dare to dream.

Make no mistake, i don’t believe this is a matter of converted hearts, or anything like it.
My hopes are for CAREER PROFESSIONALS, whether in the private sector or politics, TO DO THEIR ASSIGNED JOBS.

hillary might be noticing how MARCO RUBIO has been doing an admirable job as SEC OF STATE. DO-THE-JOB.
That shouldn’t be expecting too much.

As some warned, there won’t be an immediate end to violence.

“Dozens killed in Gaza as violence erupts between Hamas and armed clans”
Netanyahu calls imminent prisoner exchange 'beginning of a new path' as local militias clash in Gaza

And Israel decided to just go randomly bomb some people. Their parliament also is having trouble agreeing to the ceasefire.

I’ve been watching what is happening live over in Israel. I thank & praise God the 20 hostages left alive were freed & sent home. If I understand Holy Scripture correctly there will be no lasting peace in the Middle East. There may be a reprieve. Arab nations were always at war with Israel. Jews need to recognize Jesus as their long awaited Messiah. Until they do they will continue to trust in their original Covenant. In fact Netanyahu brought that up this morning. Yes they are the “root” yet that root is in Jesus Christ. American Christians are divided on all this. It is strange though Satan still hates the Jews and America as Muslims chant death to both. Muslims believe they are to convert the world to Islam, as a mission in opposition to the Great Commission.

Lots of Arab nations aren't at war with Israel (such as Jordan) and are, in fact, at peace with Israel.

As does every other people group.

I don't think Satan somehow loves Muslims or hates Jewish people more than other people.

I think it's a bit of a caricature to say "Muslims chant death to both". My Muslim friends have considered us to be "people of the book". When I had a job in Israel, one of my Muslim coworkers and I got along especially well since neither of us drink alcohol or engage in drunkenness, so we often socialised together when everyone else was getting drunk. I also had a treasured friend who was an Arab Catholic. We all got along just fine and respected each other.

If you grant that Israel has committed genocide and randomly targeted civilians in this war, the question remains of why Hamas committed October 7 knowing that this would be the likely result.
