Blessed Are the Peacemakers
The Gaza war, which started with an Islamist orgy of rape, butchery and kidnapping on October 7, 2023, has been hell for Israel and the Gazan civilians Hamas has used as its human shields.
Seldom, if ever, in the history of warfare has engineering a higher civilian death toll been a “central component of… battlefield strategy”, writes Andrew Fox, a former British Army officer turned expert in Middle East war.
Despite a foreign conflict rooted in ancient hatreds, rancour has played out weekly on the streets of Australia.
That’s because useful idiots here fell for the Islamist propaganda that Israel was committing genocide, when in reality Hamas curated the slaughter by pushing Palestinians into the fire in front of its cowardly terrorist army.
So-called pro-Palestinian protestors have spent two years railing against an alleged Israeli genocide and calling for the elimination of Jews “from the river to the sea”.
War and Peace
Now that President Trump, a hated figure of “progressives”, has the signatures of Hamas terrorists and the Israeli Prime Minister on a 20-point peace plan, let’s pray and hope the hostages are released as promised.
Let’s pray that a lasting peace breaks out in the Middle East, something not guaranteed despite the incredible diplomatic achievements of the past days.
For Australia, let’s pray and work for social cohesion, as most of us have had enough of this foreign conflict dominating our public discourse.
Thanks to the policies of successive governments, we have had mass immigration of people who do not share the Judeo-Christian values that have made Australia and the West attractive to people from all over the world seeking a better life.
Family First believes Tuesday night’s rally in Bankstown, Sydney, should be investigated by authorities because, in the words of New South Wales Premier Chris Minns, it “celebrated terrorism”.
Advocating terrorism is a criminal offence. So what is celebrating it?
Deadly Ideology
As Peta Credlin observed last week, radical Islamism is the challenge of our times.
What we saw in Bankstown in Paul Keating Park on the second anniversary of the October 7 atrocities was not Australians sympathising with our grieving Jewish community; it was full-throated radical Islamism 30 kilometres from the CBD.
The Gaza war has revealed deep divisions and an Australia that those of us who grew up here no longer recognise.
While Israel’s battle tactics are by no means above scrutiny, there is no evidence of genocide in what has been the most horrible of urban warfare environments made hell by 500km of terror tunnels with thousands of shafts to booby trapped homes, hospitals and mosques.
That Anthony Albanese and Penny Wong foolishly believe Hamas propaganda about Israel has only stoked the ancient hatreds imported into our suburbs.
Australia has been free and prosperous because of its British inheritance.
It is vital that mass migration is halted and that future immigration policy makes preserving who we are – a nation founded on Judeo-Christian ethics – its number one priority.
That will be a challenge to our left-wing intelligentsia as much as it is to those who platform Hizb ut-Tahrir.
Now that there’s a peace deal, it’s time for Australia to move on from this foreign conflict and focus on the things that will make for our flourishing.

Australia still has a blasphemy law architecture that goes by a new name — namely, our vilification and anti-discrimination framework. These laws have striking parallels to Australia’s old blasphemy laws, with the exception that they serve a new god and are more readily enforced than the old ones.

Thank you Lyle for this summation of the reality of the last 2 years of conflict.
For all of that time all that Hamas needed to do was release the hostages for there to be an immediate cease fire. There never was anything like a genocide by Israel, neither was there a famine either. The truth of both of those statements will soon become evident for all who have been taken in by the propaganda of Hamas to see ever so clearly.
They won’t let up though in their hatred. Just look at the shocking outburst over the weekend by Senator Lydia Thorpe.
Thanks do much for this, Lyle. It is so sad to see the irrational hatred spread by deception and lies taking root in our once safe and socially co-hesive society, It’s true Australia was founded on Judeo-Christian principles, however, unless those of us who know this, are prepared to speak up, to awaken our politicians to their responsibilities, we are likely to continue down the slippery slope to oblivion and irrelevance.
Thank you, Lyle. It is heart breaking that our Govt is blinded to the issues we now face in our own country thanks to many protestors (paid and unpaid) and thanks to our Govt not checking on the mosques and messages going out (eg Jihadist teaching) or on the immigration trends.
It has been such a travesty to blame Israel for fighting back against radical Islam, standing against rape and kidnapping and butchery- and then to be blamed for the war, when they didn’t ever a start Oct 7. (Instead, they had worked with Gaza citizens and offered jobs and peaceful living but this was destroyed oct 7 2023 when the Hamas declared war on Israel. It was the Hamas who were culpable of genocide (against Israel) and the Hamas were happy to use refugees as their human shield.
The fact that Australia has been duped by these lies whose how effective media proband is and has been. It has also Hitler’s greatest weapon followed by his recruitment program by force, and punishment of all who showed any mercy to the Jews.
Our younger generation has been targeted and our Govt has led the way in promoting ‘pro-Palestinian’ propaganda….
It is essential we help educate those who have no sense of history to understand the earlier Holocaust and WW2 – and anti semitism, and how it came about -and to say never again is now’. God chose Israel and gave her the land and nothing will change that fact. God has said ‘He will bless those who bless Israel’ but ‘curse those who curse israel’ ….God has said he Himself watches over Jerusalem and day and night.
Even Bob Hawke in 2019 said , “If the bell tolls for Israel, it tolls for all of us”….the bells are ringing for Israel and tolling for the west and the times are drawing near where the anti christ will enter the stage but we look to Jesus coming again and ask that He comfort His people and bring them back into the land while there is still time….
Our own country needs much prayer and Gods mercy and to turn back to Him fully and back to our Judeo Christian ethics.
it’s just theatre The Russian revolution was an October revolution too .
USA is now supplying tomahawks to Ukraine .That’s crossed the line with Putin .
Israel’s just a sort of decoy ploy Patsy type performance imo
on a serious note ,remember for centuries ,over a thousand years the vitucan had monasteries and convents all over Europe ,Africa even Asia , with thousands of dedicated monks and nuns praying day and night for Christian ideals ,peace end to all evil etcetera etcetera .The bottom line is ,now hidden away again as not PC ,that they discovered it didn’t work.
That’s why they stopped .
“I am the Prince of War that precedes Peace ” is another of Jesus s titles .They should have read the book .
yoh can’t pray the Revelation of John away in other words .
It’s going to happen ,you can see it unfolding imo .day by day .You have to learn to do your washing ,have your linen white . Obey God’s word Keep his Sabbath .Do as He says .
And Jesus was taken down on Good Friday because he had rj be taken before the Sabbath is celebrated meaning before Friday night .Which continues into Saturday .

Eat as your told.
Love as instructed .
You done war shellfish .
Their role is to keep rivers and waterways healthy they aren’t for us to eat .
People should learn how to read .
dont eat shellfish that was reading when I clicked send .Observe Fran Drescher always breaking God’s word ,tempting everyone with ham sandwiches in temple and iconising prawns .Look what happened to her to end her programme. Look at Paul Hogan throwing another shrimp on the bbq , now decimated by a horrible muscle wasting disease thats almost cripple him for this past ten plus years .Etc etc
and it’s “blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth ”
I was reflecting on that last night God doesn’t call the world ,” the earth ” as i recall.
I’m pretty sure biblically the world is called the world dust dust and earth earth
If Jesus is the Prince of War that precedea peace as we’re told then where are the meek in that scenario? .
But yet it’s a spiritual battle or war that is fought ,described maybe in metaphorical ways.
Anyway the bibles clead that your job is to get yourself clean ,acceptable to God not your community of like minded capitalists or communists or whatever mask they’re wearing ,we shall come to them dressed as sheep but really ravenous as wolves
To God .No one else. No one. On judgement day we all stand alone on our own before God .There’s not going to be a team leader there to give their assessment of your performance No social worker or character references. It’s you baby accountable alone as transparent as if naked before God
