We could use the prayers of the Believers for Israel.
The quarantine that starts tonight IS a political coup against the people. First, let me be clear. I am not saying that there aren’t people who have a virus. But I am saying that Netanyahu is a criminal, if not in his past actions then certainly now by trying to stay in office. This is a plan to break the spirit of the people.
During the Corona, he has petitioned the police to keep the Israeli people from demonstrating for his removal. They did not comply with his wishes. In fact, the Knesset was in the process of filing a petition to keep Bibi from making the nightly addresses about the Corona because as they said, he turned every address to the nation to a political statement of trust and support. Besides all of his filing to the court to delay his (hopefully) upcoming trial on the criminal indictment charges. There are members of the Knesset working to change the law because NO member of the government can be under criminal indictment and serve EXCEPT Bibi! (the finance minister issued a pay cut to the Knesset last night).
I also know of groups here that were forming that committed themselves to no longer wearing masks in public. They were not secreted away, they were very public and wanted it known they have had enough acknowledging that this was fully political and not a health crisis here in Israel.
We have has 1160 deaths since MARCH! 7 million people, more if you count Gaza and the West Bank, but I don’t know their numbers. Apparently they aren’t a lot different bc no one is speaking about it. 1160/7-million is a death rate of .000167% for the ENTIRE time that ‘corona’ has been in Israel.
Today we are entering a planned 3-week lockdown. It was delayed by a week to initiate it. (If there was a true threat why the delay?)
In this lockdown, we were told that we would be policing ourselves. No private gatherings of more than 10 per house, no public gatherings more than 20, etc. And that there would be no law enforcement issuing fines. etc
Yesterday they suddenly announced that there will be police and military enforcement for anyone more than 5 feet away from their homes in unauthorized travel. They announced that the airports are closed unless you’ve made 8 hours ahead of appointment with the government to travel there. They announced no more students will be accepted into Israel.
Last night in King Bibi’s speech he announced that this is a situation that will be evaluated and adjusted daily (boiling the frog). The finance minister announced that there will be unemployment checks available to anyone unemployed for any reason until mid-Sept 2021. The health minister (accidentally) called the lockdown that begins at 2 p.m. phase 1
Those of us living in Israel need your prayers. Unless I practice civil disobedience our access to the seven species/the biblical calendar has officially been suspended until further notice from Netanyahu.
Edited: Just now I’ve read that at the last minute they changed the restriction on movement to 1 kilometer from the house slightly more than a 1/2 mile. Now we pray I can see the new moon tonight from the village here somewhere.Updated Sep 18, 2020, 8:10 PM
