'Like a horror movie' - Israel music festival-goers fled in hail of bullets
BBC news ^ | 10/8/23 | Francesca Gillett

For weeks, excited music-lovers had looked forward to the Supernova festival, held in the desert in southern Israel to coincide with the Jewish festival of Sukkot.

"The time has come when the whole family is about to get together again," organisers wrote on social media before it began. "And what fun it is going to be!"

Just hours later, their social media pages are now flooded with desperate people trying to find loved ones, after Palestinian militants stormed the festival and opened fire as part of huge surprise attack on Israel.

One partygoer, called Ortel, said the first sign that something was wrong was when a siren went off at around dawn, warning of rockets. Eyewitnesses said the rockets were quickly followed by gunshots.

"They turned off the electricity and suddenly out of nowhere they [militants] come inside with gunfire, opening fire in every direction," she told Israel's Channel 12.

"Fifty terrorists arrived in vans, dressed in military uniforms," she said.

People tried to flee the site, she said, running across the sand and getting into their cars to drive away - but partygoers said there were jeeps full of gunmen, shooting at the cars.

I can’t get over there not being substantial armed security there.

And the festival was a rave dance peace festival, right on the Gaza border. It was probably 90% people wanting to “reach across the aisle” to Gaza etc.
Wonder how many getting shot to pieces were thinking about their choices and philosophy that enough kindness will change these animals into friends?

Eziekiel 38:

10 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: On that day thoughts will come into your (Gog and Magog) mind and you will devise an evil scheme. 11 You will say, “I will invade a land of unwalled villages; I will attack a peaceful and unsuspecting people—all of them living without walls and without gates and bars. 12 I will plunder and loot and turn my hand against the resettled ruins and the people gathered from the nations, rich in livestock and goods, living at the center of the land.

I wonder if the festival was a “gun free zone.” How does Israel do the 2nd amendment?

I wonder how many of the survivors, their families and friends will reassess their insanely dangerous political beliefs.

I wish I could believe that the survivors, family and immediate circle would reassess their assumption and realize their beliefs empowered savages who murdered, raped & tortured because they could. Will the victims understand their contributory responsibility for the deaths and suffering of many others? I wish they could be red-pilled but people would prefer to run from reality and embrace unicorns & rainbows.

Used to work with a liberal who got mugged on the sidewalk not far from the office, and believe it or not, he actually said that it was his fault he got mugged.

Gen. Patton once said,” If you are nice to a skunk, he won’t piss on you. As often.” I sincerely regret the loss of life of all these well intentioned, but oh so misguided people...

Read the rest of the chapter. The Lord will be ANGRY; retribution is coming!

Israel has no place that would qualify as a gun free zone, but this group may be the epitome of naive when asked t care med to trusting your enemy

Bullseye!

The part from that chapter that has me thinking is the "turn you around" previous to this which suggests Gog will be heading in a different direction.:
I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws and bring you out with your whole army.


The big question is whether we will we shortly see Iranian ground troops involved? If so, Russia would soon follow.

I guess their shouting “We’re on your side! We’re on your side!” didn’t work out so well for them.

Sasy, whatever happened to the machine-gunning of the country music festival in Vegas?
