While Nazareth is a predominantly Arab Christian Israeli city, the victims have traditional Muslim names. So they are Muslim Arab Israeli citizens who were attacked, probably related to the drug dealing business.

Today and tomorrow I have Oratorio rehearsals in Jerusalem.
Yesterday two bombs were remote detonated on two buses in Jerusalem, a half hour apart. A third bomb was prevented by security. Last I knew it was 19 injured, 1 dead: 16 year old Aryeh Ahechopek, a Canadian-Israeli yeshiva boy. Bombs were packed with nails and screws dipped in poison to increase carnage.I’m riding the buses in Jerusalem today for one rehearsal tonight, another on Friday morning.

Truth defeats lies
“One basic truth can be used as a foundation for a mountain of lies, and if we dig down deep enough in the mountain of lies, and bring out that truth, to set it on top of the mountain of lies; the entire mountain of lies will crumble under the weight of that one truth, and there is nothing more devastating to a structure of lies than the revelation of the truth upon which the structure of lies was built, because the shock waves of the revelation of the truth reverberate, and continue to reverberate throughout the Earth for generations to follow, awakening even those people who had no desire to be awakened to the truth.” – Delamer Duverus
Soldier injured in Samaria
Oct 3, 2022, Samaria: The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) is stretched to the limit during this Fall Festival season of 2022. 20 minutes uphill from here in Samaria, Nablus is a Roman-era name (in Greek) for Shechem, an ancient Hebrew town. This is the location where Joseph’s bones are buried; yes, that Joseph, Pharaoh’s right-hand man in Egypt.
On 2 October 2022 in Shechem, Israeli Jews had a peaceful rally. They came under fire from Arab non-Israelis from the area. The overall council head of Samaria, Yossi Dagan, was photographed crouching behind an automobile for cover, pistol drawn, defending children. This was a peaceful rally with many children present – Arabs opened fire for no reason other than their hurt feelings that Jews simply exist in Samaria.
