Allah

Over the last few weeks, it's been hard to miss all of the videos of missiles flying through the air.

Buildings collapsing and people shouting.

The conflict between Israel and Hamas Palestinian militants continues to present challenges

for achieving lasting peace in the Middle East.

But after 11 days of fighting,

there is a ceasefire.

So how did we get here?

And where do things currently stand?

Well, in an effort to manipulate ongoing anti-Israeli riots, the Islamist terrorist organization

that controls Gaza, Hamas, used this as a pretext to launch more than 4,000 long-range rockets at

Israeli communities. In response, Israel used the so-called Iron Dome missile system to defend itself

and strategically bombed targets that pose threats to Israel's security.

However, on May 20th, the Israeli Prime Minister's office announced a ceasefire that, as of this recording, still holds.

While this conflict has severely disrupted the region, the aftermath outside of the Middle East is also devastating,

especially to our Jewish brothers and sisters around the world.

What are you waiting for? Jihad is responsibility on you.

Wipe out that Zionist entity. How dare they? How dare they?

How dare they?

I have got no honor in you.
