Israeli Military Confirms Rocket Strike Outside Jerusalem

Nov. 16, 2012 10:49am Madeleine Morgenstern

The Israeli military confirmed Friday that a militant-fired rocket from Gaza struck outside Jerusalem, the first time the holy city has been targeted since 1970.

“Confirmed: A rocket fired from Gaza struck outside Jerusalem, Israel’s capital city,” an Israeli military spokesperson tweeted.

According to Haaretz, Hamas claimed they were targeting the Knesset, Israel’s government building.

At 50 miles away from the Gaza border, Jerusalem was thought to be beyond the range of Gaza rocket attacks, according to the Associated Press.

“We are sending a short and simple message: There is no security for any Zionist on any single inch of Palestine and we plan more surprises,” Hamas spokesman Abu Obeida told the AP.

Air raid sirens sounded throughout the capital and residents said they heard an explosion. The rocket reportedly landed in an open area just south of the city. No casualties were reported.

Zechariah 12:1-4
The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.

Zechariah 14:12
And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

Please read Zechariah 12-14 to get the full context of this prophecy. In fact read all of Zechariah to get the setting of this entire process. So, for all those folks coming against Israel bring it on. All you will be doing is fulfilling this prophecy that indicates that the second coming of Christ is at hand – and you know what – that is not a bad thing.

Any Jew in this country that voted for obama will soon find out how stupid they were. It will not be long before this whole things is the fault of Israel. obama will blame them for not “negotiating” but jumping into an assault on the poor muslims….oh boo-hoo-hoo….. Israel sould send them all to see Allah….it is their wish is it not? The only way to stop someone that glorifies death rather than life is to give them what they want…… They are unfortunately in a no win situation, but at least they can show that they have the guts to fight….something obama lacks, especially against the muslims….

A prophecy, October 9, 1973: “We should…tell you these words. The fuse has been lit. War is upon the land. And yet, it should go unto the battle of Armageddon. Beware of, therefore, that of the Anti-Christ, for the name should be before you often now….
“But beware — should the Eagle [U.S.A.] not spread its wings and give protection, then the Anti-Christ shall reign upon the earth, and the time of famine shall be upon your doorsteps. We have prepared that, as we have said before, to give you warning before each of these that should happen. But the nation of Israel shall stand, and the nation of the eagle shall stand, for they stand before God.
And where once before the eagle nation [Rome] destroyed and scattered among the nations those of the servants of God, now the karmic action stands forth again. Therefore, place your minds in unisance.”

  Have you ever read the Harbinger? If not you must, or he has a DVD called the Isaiah 9-10 Judgement…you can watch that but there is more in the book. It is true that the US and Israel hold the key to the judgement but it involves way more than that. We have turned from a culture that reveres life to a culture that, like the muslims, reveres death. With abortion and assisted suicide being sanctioned by the government we have turned the hedge of protection away. Until we turn back to God ….”If my people would humble themselves and seek my face.”…….will we do that with this guy as president?…….I think he thinks of himself as some sort of god, and we are in big trouble….

There can only ever be peace on earth when the hardened hearts of humankind are changed.
That change cannot come from the outside,
it cannot come by force or by fear, or even by war,
it cannot even come from the voice of reason,
it is hardwired into our conscience,
it is a personal choice….you must seek, keep, nurture and trust your own peace at all times..
We CAN change it. It starts with the heart.

Israel will someday rebuild the Temple, but the Muslims build a dome on the mount to stop them. All hell would break loose if the Jews destroyed the dome, but what if the Arabs unwittingly destroyed it themselves? Will a jet crash into it? Will a missile? A bomb? Or will it be a natural earthquake? Time will tell.

A prophecy, November 25, 1977: “But we say unto you, the Messiah is upon your earth now. He is well, and well-protected. But leste the Eagle [U.S.A.] spread his wings and protect even farther, a new and more deadly conspiracy is at hand. The tool, the great tool, as we have said before, lies in those of the “Black September,” or the Palestinians. As has been written before, the one who should come forth and make all the signs of peace is preparing for war….
“But remember, the parable of the people who had prepared their minds and the fire that was set to destroy them, and they made the fire burn the other way.”

  Since an eagle is a bird of prey it aptly describes america. As for that land called isreal that is being vexed by a people called palestinians from the land which was called Palestine, it sets the crux of what is taking place in that region at this very moment. I often wonder if the Palestinians had the same kind of armanents that the isrealis have i think it would be an interestingly different situation, considering the fact that what they are fighting with is rockets, and it doesn’t make any difference where the get them from, afterall, what isreal is fighting with are mostly made in america!

  Whisky, pour another shot. Listing facts about Jews, Zionists, Zionism, is not hate. If I’ve errantly listed a fact, then, by all means, point it out. But, if all that you have to offer is disliking the facts, that do not support your perceived version of reality, then shut up. Present an argument based on your set of facts, not your emotional instability.

  Jerk, here’s the problem. It’s pretty obvious we could all offer facts all day long and you wouldn’t accept one of them AS fact because they don’t fit your beliefs. Looks to me like–whether intentional or not–you’re acting as a troll to make the rest of us guilty of antisemitism by association. If this is truly the way you think, when you can finally figure out that a person’s religion or heritage has no bearing on their personality and intentions I wonder how many comments you will want to delete

I guess it is time that the Muslims blow up their Holy Mosque in Jerusalem so we can help Israel build back the Lord’s Temple so the Lord, our savior, can rule for 1000 years.

It is time! Let God guide those rockets to the Dome of the Rock. Let those bricks fall down!

I suggest that the Muslims steer clear of their prayers in the holy places until this war ends. I have read today that Hamas is actually firing and keeping arms near their children’s playgrounds at their Mosques. These are the people that most of the UN Haters love to protect. Wow! I am glad I don’t recognize their God. He hates innocent children and their mothers.

Hurry up, lets end this hate!

  DAS JERK, When one is attacked, one does what is necessary to not only put a stop to it, but to also make certain that your enemy is not capable of doing the same again. Its not that I hate anybody and I don’t, being retired military I know that you don’t give those who have declared you as the enemy the upper hand. And, in this area of the world, on a constant basis. If you really want to show somebody that you have some balls, pack up and volunteer to load missiles for Hamas. If you can convince them not to slit your throat.

All that you can illustrate to us is your overwhelming hatred of Israel and Jews, as well, you have tossed African-Americans into the same mix of hatred.
  As for packing off to Israel, I would if I could. Number one, it is against the law, and I took an oath that will not allow me to do that. And, I will honor my oath even though I might find myself disagree with even a small portion of it. Also, at my age I seriously doubt they would take me.

  Hey JERK, who is talking out of his ass? We’ve gone around and around on the USS Liberty a few times before in the past. I know already that we will never agree. I still contend that it was the fog of war. But JERK if it was not the fog of war, and Israel did purposely attack the USS Liberty, why then? Was the purpose, the goal? Why would they attack their largest national supporter who provided the greatest amount of funds and military equipment? Seems to me they would take the chance of getting cut off by not only the U.S. but many of America’s fellow allies around the world who were providing similar assistance then too? It just does not make sense to me, but I’m sure that you have some wild assed twisted CYA story.

  The captain of the ship, and his crew, made it perfectly clear that there was no fog of war. The attack was deliberate. It was persistent, unrelenting. It was an attack on America for the sole purpose of bringing it into war for Israel. You’re just simply another Ambassador Susan E. Rice, spouting out false information for a desired outcome.

  jerk, you can’t even answer the question. Let me try again. Why would Israel punch it’s gift horse in the mouth? Is that simple enough for you?
  There is another saying in the military that goes back a number of years. “Friendly fire ain’t friendly” What would you think after being shot at for a considerable time? Had I been in that CPT’s shoes, I would have been screaming the same thing as loud as I could while changing my underwear.
  But, one more time, try and answer the question. And, don’t send me a bunch of Wiki links. I’ve read far more about that incident than you would like to think, as well as involved in classes on it. It is a form of military fratricide, which for the most part these are accidental cases of fratricide. When I was a combat doctrine writer we studied far more than the Liberty incident on the subject too.
  But, here is you chance to shine. Tell my why in your opinion.

  Jerk, You are right. In my haste to get ready for an appointment I did gloss over your actual answer. For that I do humbly apologize.
  That was a question broached on one of the occasions that we studied the Liberty. The answer that I heard was why would the Israelis do that with such obvious Israeli markings? Then continue to hit the ship several times still with Israeli markings? Still does not make sense. The U.S. was already in a very unpopular war with massive demonstrations against in most major U.S. cities. Such was reported in worldwide press such as TV, radio, newspapers, and magazines. Tet was roughly six months. Although that would have had no immediate effect on our discussion, it might give you a better idea of the scope of occurances in that time frame. If you saw the 1967 War on TV then, you would have seen good old Dan Rather when he was pulled from Vietnam and dispatched to the Israeli conflict. Now, guess what he was saying when giving his own opinion of the war? This is another war that the U.S. does not need to be dragged into. The U.S. was warned and the world clearly heard it too. Similar sentiments came from other reporters and were also repeated by well known anchors like Walter Cronkite, and from the Huntley Brinkley Report. The U.S. citizenry’s sentiment to one war was well known to the point that nobody else should believe that they could drag us into another conflict. I wan’t in it so I paid attention to it daily.

  @Jerk
  How does attacking a US ship encourage them to join their side? Why would Israel try to draw America into a war that it won decisively with relatively few casualties? The Israeli victory in 1967 was so overwhelming that the Arab leaders actually tried to accuse the US of interfering just so it would be less embarrassing. Your argument lacks facts and the motive you’ve providing is unconvincing.
  
  The question we all should be asking about the Liberty is the same one as with Benghazi: why were the US forces ordered to stand down and not interfere?

Lord knows, the Germans have really fired upon in two wars, and yet we are friends again. The Japanese have fired upon us, and we are friends. The Russians have fired upon us, and we even occupied a section of Russian for almost a year after WWI ended, and we are sort of friends, much like China too. Vietnam has fired upon us, and we are friends again too. But Hell, since YOU in particular hate Israel, and the Jews, God forbid that we honor our treaties with them and continue to be friends, right?

(Some Jews are evil of course; some Muslims are Godly) but Islam does NOT worship the GOD of ABRAHAM. It doesn’t take a ROCKET SCIENTIST to know this VIP fact. LOOK at what they believe in !!! Nothing to do with the GOD of Abraham, the Creator of the Universe !!
  These smarmy desert rats who are minions of the devil don’t (and have never wanted) Peace. They have spent the money they’ve been given to build their country and let that horrible little twit Arafat hog it; no hospitals, no schools, no hope for the minions, no businesses…just war-mongering activities and enslavement for the Palestinian. PS Palestine was never a country; it is a territory. Jordan and Lebanon took a huge amount of land at the time the UN set up Israel. ALL of this fight
  for Palestinians to have “land” #1 they already have more than Israel and #2 all anyone with a brain had to do was demand the return of that land. Palestinians have fabulous Ocean front property; could be amazing but they’d rather scurry around in the sand and kill each other and the Jews.
  TOUCH JERUSALEM, Rats, and watch GOD. YOU fools want to tear down the Pyramids? YOU fools want to live with nothing in a desert? Your time is coming.

  Comrade RJJinGadsden, are you really that dense? I said, America does not need a trouble maker for a friend, present tense. No one benefits having a trouble maker as a friend.

  PATTY HENRY, you can write a whole lot, but history has proven that Israel is, and has been a warmongering nation. And, if you really desire the truth, Israel is also the father of modern terrorism in the Middle East. Might want to look up the Stern Gang, Irgun… . Might want to look up The Sergeants affair… and many others. But, zealots like you rarely look up anything. You act on your fundamentalist, religious beliefs.

  The Stern gang was in Palestine prior to the UN action, They protected themselves from the Arabs then (pre 1947) YOU, JERK, Have no idea who I am, where I’ve been, what I’ve studied. YOU on the other hand are a parrot of Palestinian propaganda. YOU can’t explain how that bloody little ARAFAT had everything he wanted in 1993 and then ‘changed his mind’… it’s the poor people of the West Bank and Gaza I feel for…they and the refugees from the Lebanon camps have never had a LIFE all because of the Palestinian leaders (thugs) have stolen all the aid money (Billions) for themselves and nothing for their own people! SIT ON IT -JERK

  PATTY HENRY, you can try to revise history all that you want. Fact is, the Stern Gang and Irgun were classified as terrorist organizations. Fact is, they were no different from today’s Hamas, Hezbollah, and al Qaeda. And, for even more fact, the Haganah was not different than Yasser Arafat’s PLO.
  
  You have Goebbels eyes.

A few issues with the story here. Jerusalem was not targetted as it is not in range of the rockets and hosts many different religious groups. No rocket his Jerusalem. Also, the capital of Occupied Palestine (Israel, to some) is Tel Aviv.

  According to the U.N. and the international community, Tel Aviv is the capital of Israel. If Israel can ignore the U.N. on this issue, then the world can ignore the previous U.N. provision establishing the state of Israel. Consistency is the order of the day, not zealotry.

  DAS_JERK, Imagine that, you think that it is up to the UN to declare their national capital. If the UN had been around in 1810, I suppose they would still declare that our capital be NYC. Makes about as much sense. But, since you hate Israel…..why not?

  Comrade RJJinGadsden, no. I am stating that Israel and its sycophants here in America always point to U.N. Resolution 181(ll) as a validation of the Zionist state. I don’t care if you choose to ignore the U.N.. My point is, don’t pick and choose; it’s too Eric Holder-like.

War is coming and Obama flees to another land on his apology and kissing tushie tours while the Middle East he has armed and set on fire rages more and more out of control.

Iran is behind this mess, along with the bands supplied arms by Obama the traitor; there will be war soon enough and the world is blaming Israel for defending her own people. I can all too easily imagine Obama sending in American troops to crush Israel once and for all.

  Those are some wicked and hurtful comments you espoused against a man who was just reelected by the american people to be our president for the next four years. Lets just say, if the scenario you laid out were to take place how long will you gloat in saying; see, i told you so! Before the law of cause and effect takes hold and before you know it the cycle of killing and maiming and the destruction of property will continue… Will you continue to gloat??

  Who cares if war is coming to the Middle East, as long as America does not get involved? We supply Israel with far more weapons and money than Iran could supply to any nation. So, stop with the double standard.

  Obama is not “fleeing” anywhere.
  
  His Southeast Asia tour was planned well in advance of the elections, the Benghazi hearings and the fiscal cliff negotiations.
  
  Iran may be supplying Hamas with missiles, but parts of Israel’s missile-defense system were paid for by the US, that is, by American taxpayers, since Obama took office.

  @ Jerk: The only outcome that is suitable for Hamas, Hezbollah & Iran et al, is the complete and utter destruction of Israel and Jews worldwide. How do you negotiate peace with that? So who cares if there’s war in the M.E? Western Civilization has too. You are next and the celebrate diversity crowd will be at the front of the line.

Let’s see… our forces are not allowed to fire at or invade mosques even when taking fire…
but Hamas and their rodent brethren fire indiscriminate rockets at Jerusalem– cradle to much of their own religion as well as Christianity and Judaism– and there is no immediate hue and cry by the UN and this Administration about threatening world treasures?

No, that is not bias against Israel. Or against historic shrines… or against the innocent people living there and NOT launching rockets into Syria, Egypt, or ‘Palestine’

Fortunately, the very real presence of a threat to life and liberty has kept the Israeli people willing to stand up to their enemies, unlike here at home where we only want to be given things…

  Right now, I would be ROFALMAO had the rocket landed on the “Dome of the Rock” Moslem temple on the temple mount itself.
  
  Thie action by the Palestinians represents a major escalation of the situation. Jerusalem is a sacred city to both religions and indescriminate distruction by uncontrollable rockets can and will engender a more harsh response from Israel, and rightly so. The Palestinian towelheads had better tread lightly lest they really find out how P/Oed the Israelis can be.
  
  My prayers are with Israel and her people. I am praying for GOD’s protection for them.

  Hamas has been firing indiscriminate rockets at Israel civilians for years (800 just this year) while Israel fires at military targets. Israel targeted Ahmed Jabari, the operational commander of Hamas’s armed wing and destroyed most potent rocket storage. The military estimated Hamas had 10,000 rockets and mortars before the operation began. Hamas’s response was to target an apartment building.
  
  Just imagine Canada firing 800 indiscriminate rockets into US cities (killing men, woman, and children) and the UN telling us we cannot do anything about it because we have more military strength and capacity. That is insanity. Israel has the right to defend themselves. And they had the right to respond 799 rocket prior.
  
  Just wait and see the media will paint the picture of Israel with its full military arm bullying poor Gaza. Hmmm……if you go over and punch the biggest guy on the play ground, you should expect the full extent of his strength. To tell Israel not to use the full extent of their military strength is also insanity. Besides they have been practicing restraint – Gaza is not glass yet.

Don’t be fooled people. This has Iran’s hands all over it. What better way to test out your missiles indirectly than to give them to a pack of lunatics that will use them.

Jerusalem is a holy city for Muslims too. Or so we’re told. So–if they’re targeting their own holy cities, does this make Mecca a legitimate target for Israel?

  The left views even Jews defending themselves as wrong. If the cavemen with rockets blow up their own sacred site, the Jews would still be blamed for the cavemen having to lob rockets that way in the first place. There is only one maniacal unhinged derangement more pronounced than the “Blame the Jews” mentality of leftists and bigots and that is the Blame Bush syndrome. Of course, if I was in charge of Israel, I would certainly send commandos in to seize a nearby rocket site, blow up the Dome of the Rock with a Hamas missile, then blow up the missile site with a counter battery fire.

  Its probably a tactic to let isreal know that their capital can be reached; even with crude homemade weapons that they call rockets!

It would be a real shame if one of those rockets hit the Dome of the Rock and blew it back to hell.

  Maybe that’s God’s plan. Then the site would be clear for rebuilding of the Jewish Temple.

  Yes! It would be a shame because it wont accomplish anything but to leave a pile of rubble and to continue the tit for tat violence that is so tragic to the loss of life on both sides of this equation. What should really take place is a supreme effort by all concerned parties to work towards the establishment of an atmosphere of peace among all religious groups who enjoyed amity among themselves prior to 1948!!

  Maybe we could all hold hands and sing Kumbaya (a song originally from the 1930s). Maybe the Jews and the Palestinians can braid each other’s hair and they can swap tie dye t-shirts while they smoke some ghanjah. If those darned jews would just walk themselves into the sea, why we’d have peace the world over! .. alas, leftists will just have to go back to using ovens.
