Once A Terrorist, Always A Terrorist: Were Western Governments and Media Duped in Syria?

By Amir Tsarfati - https://harbingersdaily.com/once-a-terrorist-always-a-terrorist-were-western-governments-and-media-duped-in-syria/

For years, western governments had been hoping for a fall of the violent Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria. As the old saying goes, “Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.” At the end of December 2024, opposition forces attacked a weakened Assad regime, and the government collapsed like a house of cards.

Suddenly, a new sheriff came riding into town named Ahmed al-Sharaa. Well-groomed, dressed in a business suit, many people sighed with relief. Others, though, said, “Wait, isn’t that guy also known as Abu Mohammed al-Julani? You know, the fatigue-wearing butcher who used to be part of al-Qaeda?” But the western governments and their toady media outlets quickly hushed up the dissenters, saying, “Maybe, but that was then, and this is now. And, sure, the group he heads – we’ll just call it HTS because it sounds nicer than those scary Arab-sounding words behind the initials – was designated a terrorist organization by a number of countries, including both the United States and Russia, oh, and the United Nations and the EU, too, but…hey, did I mention how nice he looks in his suit?”

It’s true, al-Sharaa and his people really did their best to keep their terrorist ways hidden away from the media and prying western eyes. But then the Alawites, the minority population from which came Bashar al-Assad, decided to attempt a revolt. Of course, they did this without Assad, who is busy in Moscow enjoying the billions that he stole from the people of Syria. Launching from the Mediterranean coast, this rebellion was ill-conceived and quickly quashed. And then the bloodshed began.

Once a terrorist, always a terrorist. Videos of mass executions, tortures, and humiliations began to leak out. There was no questioning their veracity, because they were being taken as the massacres happened by the perpetrators themselves. In Hamas fashion, the HTS soldiers forced the Alawites to crawl on all fours and bark like dogs, before shooting them in the head. Some even rode on their backs before executing them in cold blood. When word got back to the Damascus headquarters about these activities, the leadership was furious. “What are you doing? Don’t stop the slaughters, of course. Just stop the videos, for Allah’s sake!”

The situation has become so dire for the Alawites, as well as some Druze and Christians, along the Mediterranean that the people have reached out to the one people they know whose word they can trust. Israel. Unbelievably, these people who just a few months ago wanted nothing more than to turn Israel into a giant parking lot are now pleading for help. I even have Alawites reaching out to me through Instagram asking me to pray for them and to use any influence I have to get Israel to help them.

I am doing what I can to help get the plight of the Alawites out to the world. Western media is whitewashing the situation. Social media is censoring the truth. If you’re wondering why I am including so many graphic scenes from the slaughter of our former enemies, it’s because people need to know. My job is not to judge anyone as to how they used to feel about me and my people. That’s God’s responsibility. I just want the world to know about this horrible slaughter. Thankfully, word is getting out and some governments are starting to take notice. The United Nations has said that they are going to talk about it, which I’m sure is a huge relief to everyone. With any luck, they may even form a committee.

Dealing with the Devil

The Kurds are a minority in Syria, as well as in Turkey, Iraq, and Iran. They don’t like any of their host countries, and their host countries absolutely despise them. When Assad’s regime first fell, there was a momentary thought that maybe Syria could be portioned in some way that would allow the Kurds some land of their own. Al-Sharaa and his HTS surprised everyone with how quickly and firmly they took control of the center and northern parts of the country. The south is still under de facto Israeli control. This left the Kurds with a decision. Do we fight for a chunk of this land or do we try to get along with the new boss? After seeing the slaughter of the Alawites, it’s no surprise that the Kurds approached al-Sharaa saying, “Hey, buddy, can we talk?” Now the Kurds have signed an agreement in which the Kurds promise to play nice and Syria will use their influence to try to keep Turkey off the Kurds’ back. This is a big blow to the U.S. who always saw the Kurdish rebels as allies.

By the way, ditto for the Druze. They watched the videos of HTS wiping out whole families and now they’re making deals with their new Syrian best friends, too. This was a disappointment to Israel, which was hoping to come alongside the Druze population to protect them in the south of Syria.

Ceasefire Screws Tighten on Hamas

With Phase 1 of the ceasefire completed, the pressure is on for Hamas to agree to a reasonable Phase 2. Israel and the United States believe that reasonable means that Hamas ceases to exist. Hamas believes that reasonable means a ten-year ceasefire during which they get to keep all of their weapons. Needless to say, the talks are at an impasse.

Israel’s leaders are tired of providing humanitarian aid for their enemies. When has this ever been required in the history of warfare? So, Israel has stopped the inflow of humanitarian trucks to Gaza. All the cargo in the trucks would just be seized by Hamas, then sold at exorbitant prices to the people. Besides, the “famine” of Gaza is just another media hoax. One only needs to see the extensive feasts that close each day of Ramadan to know that food is still plentiful in Gaza. For Israel, though, halting the trucks is not enough. Hamas must be pushed to return our hostages. So, Israel cut its flow of fresh water to Gaza, an amount that accounts for 19% of the area’s needs. When that did nothing, they cut water to the desalination plants, which will greatly affect the rest of the fresh water supply. Hopefully, that will finally force Hamas to return our innocent victims to us.

Houthis Close Red Sea to Israeli Shipping

The Houthis have used the cutting of humanitarian aid to Gaza as a pretext for shutting down the Red Sea to all Israeli shipping. If any Israel-owned or flagged ships enter the water, they will be destroyed. That’s big talk for a haggard group of rebels. It is no wonder that newly-installed Chief of Staff of the IDF, Eyal Zamir, recently predicted, “2025 will be a year of war.”

Turkey Closes NATO Door on Israel

Despite a general enthusiastic acceptance among member nations for Israel to take part in upcoming NATO preparedness exercises, Turkey has used its veto power to shut them out. Said President Erdogan, “Until comprehensive, sustainable peace is established in Palestine, attempts at cooperation with Israel within NATO will not be approved by Turkiye.” Maybe he can tell his friends at Hamas to put down their arms and surrender. That’ll end the conflict in the blink of an eye.

Russia and Ukraine War

After all the foot-stomping and angry words, Ukraine has agreed to a United States led 30-day ceasefire with Russia during talks in Saudi Arabia. The only downside is that Russia wasn’t at the talks. According to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, “The ball is now in Russia’s court.”

Israel Watch: Misunderstanding the Middle East

Jim Fletcher - https://www.raptureready.com/category/israel-watch/

What is Trump doing?

The question must be asked.

After enduring perhaps the most vicious, mendacious, craven American “president” in history (and the company is crowded with the likes of Obama, LBJ, etc.), our country and our allies like Israel are thrilled that Donald Trump overcame all odds and won the presidency again. Thank God, literally.

And it is also worth noting that we have to give a new president some time before we do a postmortem on his efforts.

Yet the President’s Middle East policy is a little confusing right now. I actually think he doesn’t thoroughly understand the region, and some of his advisors are, unfortunately, a warmed-over version of the dolts that served Clinton, the Bush family, and Obama. Really, all the way back to Truman and Roosevelt.

For decades, we’ve had foreign policy “experts” that are expert from Cambridge or Harvard. Policy wonks and theoretical political science junkies. Jack Kennedy is probably the only modern president that visited Israel long before he became president. So did his brother, Bobby. JFK visited Palestine in 1939 and wrote long letters back home with his impressions. He was generally very supportive of the Jewish state once he entered the Oval Office.

Trump is no doubt sincere in his warm views of Israel and Jews. He is genuine.

And his bold policy proposals (such as the very correct concept of moving the Arabs out of the Gaza Strip) are stunning in their brilliance. It has been obvious to everyone for decades that Oslo was a devilish proposal that only led to the murder of more Jews. The new American policy is as different from the evil Biden Regime as it could get. The U.S. is virtually giving Israel a greenlight to do whatever they want, including attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities. That should have happened long ago but it isn’t too late.

But by my count, Trump has now threatened Hamas with destruction four times. Each ultimatum that passes sends a signal to the primitive-thinking terrorists.

Much of the problem is that he is not on the same page regarding the hostages. In this I have to side with Trump. Jewish value of human life is extraordinarily high. But it is handicapping Israel’s ability to totally destroy Hamas, which is necessary.

Benjamin Netanyahu is the consummate politician. I believe he’s a Zionist, but he’s also a pragmatic one. His chief accomplishment in the last 30 years is pushing-off a Palestinian state. He is himself held hostage right now though by leftist forces in his own country, along with the families of the hostages. The West for a long time has fought wars not to win them, but to contain the enemy. It doesn’t work. It is kicking the can down the road.

Trump seems to be fairly open about giving Israel every greenlight imaginable. Yet Israel is hesitating to go finish-off Hamas. If there are 59 hostages left, with perhaps half of them alive, Hamas is allowed to control the narrative. It is incredible to me that Trump’s Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, is sitting down with Hamas in Qatar. This is unconscionable.

It doesn’t help that political commentators like Tucker Carlson are apologists for Qatar. There is an anti-Israel element within the Trump orbit (there always is in Washington, regardless of the administration). While the Man is a white knight, there are always others in the Deep State that hate Jews and hate Israel for existing.

Every week now, we are hearing that Hamas doesn’t have long to live. We can pray for an Entebbe-style hostage rescue, but the first priority must be totally eradicating the enemy. Trump’s promise to bring hell on them must be implemented.

Problems in the ME are mushrooming. Syria is now taken over by jihadists. Jordan and Egypt are pushing-back against Trump’s plan to relocate Arabs out of Gaza. Notice just a few bullet points from the Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center:

Iran condemned the continued Israeli attacks in Syria and called for international intervention to stop Israel’s activity. Israel’s threats to retaliate in the event of an attack by the Syrian regime on the Druze aroused interest from the Iranian media, which accused Israel of trying to divide the Syrian state for its own interests.

The Houthis threatened that if fighting between Hamas and Israel in the Gaza Strip resumed, they would resume attacking Israel and also threatened to strike American bases in the Middle East. The US administration officially added the Houthis to the list of terrorist organizations.

The pro-Iranian militias in Iraq refused the Baghdad government’s proposals to disarm and merge with the security forces.

Wow! That’s just right now. Trump has his work cut out for him. A huge help going forward would be to follow-through on threats.

There Is a Tremendous Amount of Confusion About What Just Happened

by Michael Snyder - https://endoftheamericandream.com/there-is-a-tremendous-amount-of-confusion-about-what-just-happened/

Did we just get closer to peace, or did we just get closer to war? On Thursday, some media outlets in the U.S. were boldly proclaiming that Vladimir Putin had “agreed in principle” to Donald Trump’s proposal for a 30 day ceasefire in Ukraine, while other media outlets in the U.S. were flatly telling us that Vladimir Putin had rejected Donald Trump’s proposal. So what is the truth?

There are two news stories that I want you to compare. The first comes from Newsweek…

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday that Russia agrees in principle with the United States’ ceasefire proposal, but key terms still need to be negotiated. He stressed that any agreement should lead to lasting peace and address the root causes of the conflict.

That sounds quite promising, right?

But now compare that to this story from the Wall Street Journal…

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday he didn’t support an immediate cease-fire in Ukraine, calling for more discussion on a permanent end to the war as Moscow’s army made rapid gains toward expelling Kyiv’s forces from its Kursk region.

Putin said any pause in fighting at this point would be in Ukraine’s interest because Russia is gaining on the battlefield, and a host of issues would need to be resolved before a cease-fire could be reached.

That puts a completely different spin on things.

Of course the reality is somewhere in between.

Vladimir Putin expressed support for the “idea” of a 30 day ceasefire, but he stressed that there are a number of things that need to be worked out before such a ceasefire can be instituted…

“The idea [of a ceasefire] itself is correct and we are certainly supporting it, but there are issues that need to be discussed. I think that we need to talk to our American colleagues and partners. Maybe call President Trump and discuss it together. But we support the very idea of ending this conflict through peaceful means,” he said, according to an NBC translation.

Putin also said a deal must “proceed from the fact that this cessation should be such that it would lead to long-term peace and eliminate the root causes of this crisis.”

A lot of people got really excited about Putin’s comments, but the conditions that Putin discussed next are not being widely reported by the mainstream media.

In order to agree to a 30 day ceasefire, Putin wants Ukraine to accept some pretty tough conditions…

“We also want guarantees that during the 30-day ceasefire, Ukraine will not conduct mobilization, will not train soldiers, and will not receive weapons,” Putin said during a press briefing with his Belarusian counterpart Alexander Lukashenko in Moscow.

The president pointed out that Russian troops are advancing along nearly 2,000 kilometers of frontline, and halting military actions could disrupt ongoing operations. Ukrainian forces could use a ceasefire period to regroup, receive more weapons, and train fresh recruits, he warned.

“These 30 days — how will they be used? To continue forced mobilization in Ukraine? To receive more arms supplies? To train newly mobilized units? Or will none of this happen?” Putin asked.

The Russians are concerned that the Ukrainians could use a 30 day ceasefire to rearm.

And I think that is a legitimate concern.

Needless to say, it is extremely unlikely that the Ukrainians would agree to such conditions.

So I don’t think that we will see a 30 day ceasefire any time soon.

Following Putin’s press briefing, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made some very harsh remarks…

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called Putin’s response “highly predictable” and “manipulative words” aimed at dragging out the process by setting unworkable preconditions. “Of course, Putin is afraid to tell President Trump directly that he wants to continue this war and keep killing Ukrainians,” Zelensky said in his nightly video address. “Putin does this often—he doesn’t say ‘no’ outright, but he drags things out and makes reasonable solutions impossible.”

I actually agree that Putin is trying to drag things out.

Russian forces are making some rapid gains at the moment, and Putin doesn’t want to cut those gains short.

But Donald Trump wants some sort of an agreement to happen quickly. In fact, he has dispatched a delegation to Moscow to discuss a potential ceasefire with Russian officials…

A delegation of United States diplomats arrived in Moscow on Thursday morning for talks on agreeing a ceasefire in the Ukraine War, with a possible call between President Donald Trump and President Vladimir Putin to follow.

America’s Middle East Envoy Steve Witkoff flew into Moscow’s Vnukovo airport on Thursday morning, having travelled from Doha, Qatar by way of European airspace on a Gulfstream executive jet. Witkoff and a team of negotiators are in the Russian capital to attempt to hammer out an agreement on the proposed Ukraine War 30-day ceasefire.

I don’t think that these talks are going to bear much fruit.

What the Russians want in exchange for a 30 day ceasefire is quite unacceptable to the Ukrainians.

And what the Russians want in exchange for a permanent ceasefire is even more unacceptable to the Ukrainians…

Russian and American officials have discussed the terms during in-person and virtual talks over the past three weeks, according to sources. They described the Kremlin’s conditions as broad and similar to the demands it previously put forward to Ukraine, the US, and NATO.

Earlier conditions included Ukraine renouncing NATO membership, an agreement prohibiting the deployment of foreign troops in Ukraine, and international recognition of Vladimir Putin’s claim over Crimea and four Ukrainian regions. In recent years, Russia has also demanded that the US and NATO address the so-called “root causes” of the war, including NATO’s eastward expansion.

Ultimately, not much has changed at all.

One prominent analyst believes that there is “no sign that the Russians are willing to make any concessions” that will result in a breakthrough…

“There’s no sign that the Russians are willing to make any concessions,” said Angela Stent, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution who was the top US intelligence analyst for Russia and Eurasia. “The demands haven’t changed at all. I think they are not really interested in peace or a meaningful ceasefire.”

Everyone is looking for the Russians to make concessions, but they are clearly winning the war.

They have all the cards at this point, and the vast majority of the Russian population is against returning territory to Ukraine…

Meanwhile, according to the Levada Center, a majority of Russians (75%) would support a decision by Vladimir Putin to end the war with Ukraine “this week.” However, if Putin decided to end the war under the condition of returning occupied territories, only 28% of Russians would support such a decision.

So what is the bottom line?

The bottom line is that there will be no permanent peace deal any time soon, and it appears that even a 30 day ceasefire is extremely unlikely to happen.

Interestingly, all of this drama is unfolding just as the second Blood Moon Purim eclipse is appearing in the sky.

If you have clear skies where you live, you will be able to view it on Thursday night…

A total lunar eclipse will be viewable in the United States overnight into Friday morning, so some may want to pull an all-nighter to catch a good look at the rare celestial event, also known as the “blood moon.”

Apparently, from the viewpoint of the Moon it will appear as if our planet is actually on fire during this eclipse…

This is such a critical moment in our history.

This is our one chance at peace with the Russians, and we must not blow it.

Unfortunately, both sides do not seem to be inclined to do too much compromising, and that is extremely unfortunate.

Gender Madness: When We Try to Be Our Own gods, Pain and Suffering Follows

By Ken Ham - https://harbingersdaily.com/gender-madness-when-we-try-to-be-our-own-gods-pain-and-suffering-follows/

If a parent has a child struggling with gender identity, one of the first (false) things they’re often told by counselors, doctors, and therapists is, “You must immediately affirm your child’s new identity or your child will likely commit suicide.” Of course, this approach of lying to your child and affirming a confused and sinful identity is unbiblical—and yet another study confirms that God’s design is best.

A recent study of over 100,000 gender-confused Americans found that those who underwent a “sex-change” surgery (a surgery, or series of painful surgeries, that amputates and reconstructs body parts to appear more like the opposite sex) have “substantially increased rates not only of depression, but of anxiety, suicidal ideation, and substance use disorders.”

The abstract for the study highlighted that men who underwent these surgeries had a depression rate of over 25%, compared to 11.5% of men who hadn’t gone as far as surgery. And for women, it was similar: nearly 23% vs. 14.6%. In other words, surgery doesn’t fix the identity crisis! It only makes things worse!

Now, this study was comparing those who had socially and maybe even chemically “transitioned,” versus those who “transitioned” and then later underwent surgery. Those who had surgery had a substantially higher risk of depression (the opposite of what you would expect if so-called gender-affirming “care” worked), but even the group with the lower depression rates—those who only socially and/or chemically transitioned—still have a much higher rate of depression than the general population (which is 5% according to the CDC). Again, our culture’s answer to gender confusion is not working!

And that’s no surprise. We aren’t our own creators who can just do anything with or to our bodies. We were created by God, in his image, as either male or female. That’s God’s very good design, even in a world that’s fallen and broken because of sin. When we stray from God’s design and try to be our own gods, pain and suffering follows just as it did in the garden!

The answer to the gender confusion of our day isn’t “transition” or surgery—it’s a new identity rooted in Christ, what he did for us on the cross, and our design as a man or woman made in his image. And we have to understand we live in a fallen world where our fallible feelings cannot be trusted to dictate truth.

Daily Jot: The American Chronicles: Camping disasters of my youth

Bill Wilson – www.dailyjot.com

When I was a kid, we often went to Cook Forest, a state park in Northwestern Pennsylvania, for weekend camping trips in the 1950s-60s with Mom and Dad’s friends—the Flynn’s and McCarthy’s. As a kid, there was a lot to do at Cook Forest. There were trails to follow, wildlife to see, the most majestic trees. All those things that spark the imagination of youngsters and grow an appreciation for God’s creation. One of my favorite places at Cook Forest was the fire tower. Rindi Flynn and I would often race to the top. We would start out strong, but by about the fifth set of steps things slowed down considerably. Sometimes, we would get lost on one of the trails and had to use our sense of direction to get back.

Packing for these trips was a great affair—making sure we had all our supplies, sleeping bags, saws, hatchets and axes for firewood, and lots of hot dogs, hamburgers, and marshmallows to cook on those wonderful, smokey campfires. Once there, we would find an appropriate camp site and begin the unpacking. A lot of packing and unpacking. It was still quite the wilderness there in the 1950s-60s. Primitive outhouses, hand pumps for water, Smokey the Bear signs. We had to make sure the food was secure at night because racoons and bear would be snooping around for whatever goodies they could get. If food wasn’t secure, at daybreak the camp would look like a war zone of leftovers strewn about and trailing into the forest.

One particular camping expedition, however, was particularly difficult. We were setting up camp, and of course, I wanted to help. So Dad sent me into Warren’s pickup truck to fetch a hammer out of the back. I was climbing around trying to find the hammer when I slipped and landed on the teeth of a large two-man saw. The saw tooth had went deep into the inside of my thigh. I was bleeding and we were too far away from any civilization to drive me to a doctor, so Sue used some bandages and tape to apply pressure and stop the bleeding. Never did get it checked and to this day I have a 1” X 1” scar that looks incredibly like an old saw tooth. But that was just the beginning omen of this ill-fated trip.

The Flynn’s were styling. They had a small camping trailer. We were all sitting around the table in that camper one night and the kerosene lantern wasn’t working right. Dad was pumping it, and in a flash, it exploded catching the trailer on fire. Amid the commotion, Dad picked me up by my hair, which had caught on fire, and threw me out the door and I hit the ground and kept running. And even though his arm was on fire, he made sure everyone else was out before he emerged from the smoldering remains of the camper. It was a trip to forget, but we all remember it. Gave new meaning to Acts 2:3: “And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.” I have no doubt, though, that the Holy Spirit was guiding Dad’s quick actions, the night I ran like my hair was on fire—because it was.

Daily Devotion: Know Where to Take Your Fears

by Greg Laurie – www.harvest.org

The LORD is my light and my salvation—so why should I be afraid? The LORD is my fortress, protecting me from danger, so why should I tremble? —Psalm 27:1

https://harvest.org/resources/devotion/know-where-to-take-your-fears/ - Listen

David was a shepherd, a musician, and a poet. When you think of the qualifications necessary for those occupations, courage probably isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. Yet David showed remarkable courage. He killed a lion and a bear protecting his flock. He walked onto a battlefield to face the giant, heavily armored Philistine warrior Goliath, carrying nothing but a slingshot and a few rocks. He led King Saul’s army into countless battles.

At some point, though, fear replaced courage in David’s heart. First Samuel 21:10 says, “So David escaped from Saul and went to King Achish of Gath” (NLT). Even though God had protected him again and again in high-risk situations, David chose to run away.

He may have been thinking, I liked it better when I was watching sheep. At least then I knew who my enemies were. He may have felt as though he were in over his head with all the political intrigue and royal scheming. We’re talking about a small-town boy here. He was probably still trying to wrap his head around the fact that he was the anointed king of Israel. (And it wouldn’t be long before God dropped the bombshell that he also would be the ancestor of the Messiah!)

Whatever the reasons, David was gripped by fear, and that caused him to take his eyes off the Lord. In his panic, he ran to enemy territory, where the Philistine king recognized him immediately. First Samuel 21:12 says, “David heard these comments and was very afraid of what King Achish of Gath might do to him” (NLT).

David escaped from Gath and hid in a cave called Adullam. And that’s where he wrote these words from Psalm 142: “I cry out to the Lord; I plead for the Lord’s mercy. I pour out my complaints before him and tell him all my troubles. When I am overwhelmed, you alone know the way I should turn. Wherever I go, my enemies have set traps for me. I look for someone to come and help me, but no one gives me a passing thought! No one will help me; no one cares a bit what happens to me” (verses 1–4 NLT).

But then he shifts gears. “Then I pray to you, O Lord. I say, ‘You are my place of refuge. You are all I really want in life. Hear my cry, for I am very low. Rescue me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me. Bring me out of prison so I can thank you. The godly will crowd around me, for you are good to me’” (verses 5–7 NLT).

David understood that when the bottom drops out, you look up. You put your focus on God, and not on your problems. You give your fears to Him. That’s how to be a person after God’s own heart.

Maybe you are facing what seems like an impossible situation right now. You may not be able to see a way out. But God can. Call on Him. Then stand still and see what He will do.

Reflection Question: What fears do you need to give to God? Discuss this with believers like you on Harvest Discipleship!
